| Jordan_U | Kulik1: Try initializing it first. Though unless you need to dual boot with windows it's recommended to use linux software RAID instead of FakeRAID. | 00:15 |
| obi_ | anybody know how to upgrade the kernel offline? | 00:15 |
| digitalfiz | Jordan_U, still no luck i even try to force it and it wont work. the partition is now just hfs+ non journaled | 00:15 |
| Kaie- | fdgsdf | 00:16 |
| digitalfiz | Jordan_U, ive tried both "mount -o force /dev/sda1 /media/Snow" and "mount -t hfsplus -o "rw" /dev/sda1 /media/Snow" and they both still mount it read only | 00:16 |
| jazzz | bonjour | 00:16 |

| Jordan_U | digitalfiz: How did you disable journaling? | 00:17 |
| obi_ | an i upgrade the kernel from a usb startup disk ?? | 00:17 |
| digitalfiz | Jordan_U, i booted the osx dvd and used diskutil | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | obi_: Yes, using "chroot". | 00:18 |
| digitalfiz | Jordan_U, gparted says its just hfs+ now it doesnt say journaled anymore | 00:18 |
| bbigras | !flash | 00:18 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:18 |
| obi_ | thanks jordan... i am a bit of a noob... you have any more info or links. whats chroot? | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | digitalfiz: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after trying to mount the partition? | 00:19 |
| obi_ | root override? | 00:19 |
| jazzz | a problem with the codec to read a video on my tv with a freebox | 00:21 |
| unam3 | hi I screw'd my /var/lib/dpkg/diversions file by mistake and are there any way of fixing that ? | 00:21 |
| jazzz | is it possible to read the video on the computer (and to use the computer codecs) and to send it to the box and the tv? | 00:21 |

| acovrig | anyone know how to pipe raw audio to vlc? | 00:22 |
| Karen_m | Whenever I connect to my vpn, I end up losing internet connections. How can I just 'add' the 10.* network and skip the fact that all packets should go through it ? | 00:22 |
| BluesKaj | jazzz, yes , but tidepends on the kind of outputs on the graphics card and inputs on your tv | 00:22 |
| kneaux | how do i make the bash variable "$1" use all the input, not just the first word? | 00:22 |
| digitalfiz | Jordan_U, figured it out i had to run fsck.hfsplus and now it mounts write thanks for the help | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | obi_: Follow step two of this guide to start a shell where any commands you run will affect your installed system rather than the Live system, then run "apt-get upgrade" to upgrade to the latest packages (including the latest available kernel). | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | obi_: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 00:23 |
| Dulak | Karen_m: what vpn? it's usually a config setting to tell the vpn client not to override the default route | 00:23 |
| obi_ | thank you | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | digitalfiz: You're welcome. | 00:23 |
| Pici | Is it harmful if I specify 0% reserved for superuser on a new partition that will only be used for /home ? | 00:23 |
| digitalfiz | Jordan_U, so for future ref its disabled journaling and then run fsck.hfsplus in ubuntu :D | 00:23 |
| jazzz | this the only way to do it? by sending with a cable by the output of my graphic card? can't i send the message to the box by wifi? | 00:23 |
| Karen_m | Dulak, one for softlayer | 00:23 |
| jazzz | <BluesKaj> | 00:23 |
| acovrig | as in `mpg123 -s *mp3|vlc -` doesn't work why? | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | Pici: No, you should still be able to recover from running out of space because /root isn't in /home. | 00:24 |
| BluesKaj | jazzz, how are you transferring the signal to the tv ? | 00:24 |
| Pici | Jordan_U: Thats what I thought, wanted to double check though. Thanks. (5% is alot when dealing with large partition sizes) | 00:24 |
| Dulak | Karen_m: not familiar with it but the setting it's overriding is called the default route, you want to keep your original default route and just add a route for the vpn network | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | Pici: You're welcome. | 00:25 |
| jazzz | <BluesKaj> i send the signal to my internet box by wifi | 00:25 |
| Karen_m | dulak, i'm using the GUI method to set it up and I've not modified the routes, but I have both of the 2 options checked off : Ignore automatically obtained routes 2)use this connection onloy for resources on it's network | 00:25 |
| jazzz | it's a upnp transfert | 00:25 |
| unam3 | is there any way to rebuild or repair or recover, the /var/lib/dpkg/diversions ? | 00:26 |
| BluesKaj | jazzz, internet box ? | 00:26 |
| Dulak | Karen_m: again I don't know the client you are using but you probably want the auto routes option | 00:26 |
| Karen_m | I'm in the nework connections -> vpn tab | 00:27 |
| jazzz | <BluesKaj> yes it's call freebox here in france....it's the box where internet come in the house uderstand? | 00:27 |
| BluesKaj | jazzz, so you have an internet capable tv ? | 00:28 |
| Karen_m | testing it, i will probably lose connection again :) | 00:28 |
| jazzz | <BluesKaj> no no it's a box to receive internet with my computer, but this box a like a router to, and can go and read some movie in the computer | 00:29 |
| jazzz | <BluesKaj> http://www.free.fr/adsl/pages/accueil/presentation-freebox-hd.html | 00:30 |
| ivanrad | hey all | 00:31 |

| * detoya is looking for info on why kernel2.6.32-24-generic would fail to use more than 450M of a 9G swap partition before killing apps left and right on a machine with 4G of ram...? | 00:35 | |
| jazzz | y<BluesKaj> es tht's it!!! the box have a film reader inside that don't support a lot of codec | 00:35 |
| jazzz | so a lot of movies can't be read | 00:36 |
| csmith1994 | hey guys i'm having an issue with my trackpad. I can't move the mouse at all. the commands sudo rmmod psmouse followed by sudo modprobe psmouse allow the mouse to function for about a second. any fix? | 00:36 |
| jazzz | can't i read with vlc on the computer and send to the box? | 00:36 |
| ivanrad | guys pray for me that my ubuntu netbook install works | 00:36 |
| rww | Praying for computer things is a bad idea. The computer detects your fear and refuses to work. | 00:36 |
| ivanrad | it went to 65% and said something about the dvd drive being corrupted | 00:36 |
| ivanrad | lol | 00:36 |
| detoya | hey csmith. Try using the keyboard function which turns the trackpad on/off , usually a blue key plus a keey on the function row with a little box | 00:37 |
| kronosphere | hi | 00:37 |
| csmith1994 | detoya: you are amazing. it's F7 on my keyboard | 00:37 |

| BluesKaj | jazzz, maybe you should read the specs on the tv boite , and find out what codecs it will accept , like avi, divx, xvid , mp4 , mkv etc etc | 00:39 |
| ivanrad | isnt ubuntu the top linux operating system | 00:39 |
| Jordan_U | obi_: Is the installed system 64 bit? If so then you'll need a 64 bit live system as well. | 00:40 |

| ivanrad | isntalled it onto my SSD | 00:40 |

| dumuzid | jocrawfo, dpkg --get-selections/--set-selections | 00:43 |
| ivanrad | umm | 00:43 |

| ZekeS | Nice! | 00:44 |
| SoulShadow | Pici: i know, it's inside a VM :p | 00:45 |
| Dulak | trond-: that doesn't catch everything, update_manager will upgrade his sources.list and various other bits that a dist-upgrade will miss | 00:45 |
| jocrawfo | dumuzid, thanks will read the man pages | 00:45 |
| BluesKaj | jazzz, what kind of connection to the tv ? My nvidia card has a dvi to hdmi cable connection , and it works fine for video. Audio is connected by a digital coax from the soundcard to my home theater amplifier | 00:46 |

| kronosphere | hi, you did, how are you? | 00:59 |
| kronosphere | edbian: for some reason, the wifi just stopped detecting | 00:59 |

| fluvvell | bastidrazor, do you know the manual (via terminal) proxy settings | 01:07 |
| fluvvell | ? | 01:07 |
| at05gt | ive got an app that wont shut down | 01:07 |

| ThomasB2k | at05gt, in terminal type "killall appname" | 01:08 |

| ThomasB2k | at05gt, what are you typing for the application name? | 01:10 |
| at05gt | exaile | 01:10 |
| ThomasB2k | you need to type the command that is used to run it | 01:10 |
| ThomasB2k | hmm | 01:10 |
| mbroeker | quant, remove the ppa from sources.list and perform an upgrade. | 01:10 |
| bastidrazor | fluvvell: according to the launchpad there is no current way to make changes to proxy settings via command line. | 01:10 |
| quant | will try that now, ty | 01:10 |
| mbroeker | quant, it will be a downgrade, but that option is not available :) | 01:11 |

| quant | blender has problems with ui rendering (menus) when used with compiz | 01:14 |
| quant | that's why... | 01:14 |
| kronosphere | edbian: im back, we lost electricity in parts of the house and that was the electrician | 01:14 |
| quant | removed the ppa, but when I try to go to update manager, I don't get prompted to install the old x-org... | 01:14 |

| Ivanrad | ? | 01:17 |
| quant | mbroeker, any ideas, pls? :) | 01:17 |

| kronosphere | edbian: are you out there somewhere? :) | 01:25 |
| edbian | kronosphere, My guess. | 01:25 |
| edbian | kronosphere, yeah | 01:25 |
| kronosphere | ok | 01:25 |
| kronosphere | your guess? | 01:26 |
| edbian | kronosphere, My guess: if you shut down ubuntu again the module won't be unloaded for some reason. Then the hardware won't work again until you hard shut down (which resets the hardware) and the module will be loaded again proper on reboot of Ubuntu. | 01:26 |
| Jordan_U | Ivanrad: Run "lspci -vvnn | grep 14e", (without the "~$" at the beginning). | 01:26 |
| fluvvell | bastidrazor, thanks - I had a weird thing going on with ubuntu-restricted-extras during an upgrade, the ttf-mscorefonts-installer had remembered a proxy settings from apt-cacher, and it resisted removal. a --purge finally sorted it. | 01:26 |
| jordanb | Hi | 01:27 |
| bastidrazor | fluvvell: glad to hear you solved it. | 01:27 |
| kronosphere | edbian: wow, does that mean that every other reboot or shutdown, my wifi won't be recognized? :( | 01:27 |

| edbian | kronosphere, I had a similar problem with a wired interface. I'm not really sure though. In my case it disappeared from windows as well. look at the output of sudo lspci -k to get the name of your module next time you're in Ubuntu and it's working. | 01:28 |
| kronosphere | im in ubuntunow | 01:28 |
| edbian | kronosphere, You get write a script to automate the task of manually loading and unloading the module. This probably sounds hard but it's very simple. | 01:28 |
| kronosphere | now | 01:28 |
| fluvvell | bastidrazor, I should look to note it somewhere for future upgraders -- it broke the installer process. | 01:28 |
| iflema | Ivanrad: the best thing is to plug in the ethernet and get the netbook online ortherwise its half a mission.... | 01:28 |
| kronosphere | oh? | 01:28 |
| edbian | kronosphere, sudo lspci -k it will list all the hardware. Find your card and look at the driver. What does it say there? | 01:28 |
| Ivanrad | i did | 01:29 |
| Ivanrad | ethernet doesnt work | 01:29 |
| Ivanrad | it says | 01:29 |
| Ivanrad | disconnected | 01:29 |
| FloodBot1 | Ivanrad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:29 |
| kronosphere | edbian: i did the sudo iwlist scan command and got the output, is that helpful? | 01:29 |
| |devicenull| | is there any way I can reset xrandr to it's default autodetect? | 01:30 |
| Ivanrad | any ideas? | 01:30 |
| |devicenull| | I tried 'xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto' but that doesnts eem to work | 01:30 |
| Jordan_U | jordanb: Revert your sources.list to the way it was before you tried to upgrade improperly, run "sudo apt-get update", then follow the upgrade documentation. | 01:30 |

| jordanb | Jordan_U: Yeah I'm doing that now. Thanks. Leave it up to ubuntu to break apt-get dist-upgrade. :/ | 01:31 |
| kronosphere | edbian: it is broadcom and here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/494483/ | 01:32 |
| bastidrazor | jordanb: it wasn't ubuntu's fault you tried a poor way of upgrading your box. | 01:32 |
| Ivanrad | its asking me to install drivers from the internet | 01:32 |
| edbian | kronosphere, I have the exact same wifi card! | 01:32 |
| Ivanrad | but i have no internet connection...... | 01:32 |
| jordanb | I've been using apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade machines for 12 years now. | 01:32 |
| edbian | kronosphere, See the driver there? b43-blah-blah | 01:33 |
| kronosphere | yah? | 01:33 |
| jordanb | This is the only machine I've had to deal with ubuntu-server on though. The client insisted because debian is a 'volunteer project' | 01:33 |
| kronosphere | edbian: i feel so sorry for you bro! :) | 01:33 |
| Maleko | hey guys any idea why lftp always fail to resume a download with -c | 01:34 |
| edbian | kronosphere, modprobe -r b43 to turn the card off. modprobe b43 to turn the card back on. This is akin to "use the driver", and "do not use this driver" effectively turns the card on and off. | 01:34 |
| edbian | kronosphere, Get used to that. Next time the card doesn't work see if "sudo modprobe b43" magically brings it back up. | 01:34 |
| kronosphere | ok, sounds like a plan and a a half, thank you | 01:34 |
| kronosphere | edbian: does your card to that to you too? | 01:35 |
| edbian | kronosphere, If it doesn't. Additionally try to "sudo modprobe -r b43" right before you turn off Ubuntu | 01:35 |
| edbian | kronosphere, Yeah I scripted it. Makes no difference now. | 01:35 |
| edbian | kronosphere, But you might have different experience. | 01:35 |
| edbian | kronosphere, Good luck! :) I have to go now! | 01:36 |
| Ivanrad | ? | 01:36 |
| kronosphere | edbian: i will catch you another time to learn how to script it ok? :) | 01:36 |
| rpg | I am having trouble with a wifi PCI card in Ubuntu. The driver finds it, but in dmesg it reports that there are "no channels," and then the initialization fails. | 01:36 |

| kronosphere | thank you, cu later | 01:37 |

| Ivanrad | blue1 can you pm me | 02:18 |
| Killamus | Blue1: Because a lot of it is using up process time (.5% adds up over 50 applications), and I'm using a small (Old RAPTOR) drive, so I'm trying to free up space. | 02:18 |
| Blue1 | Ivanrad: done | 02:19 |

| gh0zt | zyklon while you're at it change your nick, sicko | 02:22 |
| Zyklon | I know just tried to see what it stated but I think the DISPLAY thing is the issue really | 02:22 |
| Zyklon | fuck you gh0zt | 02:22 |
| Zyklon | it's not Zyklon B | 02:22 |
| dublisk | ah, for some reason my Downloads folder has a lock symbol on it, that must be why I can't download to it | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | Zyklon: Don't just run commands with sudo when they don't work. Running commands as root can be dangerous. | 02:22 |
| * Zyklon slaps gh0zt around a bit with a large trout | 02:22 | |
| Zyklon | ok | 02:23 |
| weboide | Killamus: I don't see anything critical in your list, you should be good (though I cannot guarantee it). There are still some packages you might want to keep depending on your hardware or needs (bluetooth, radeon, ...). | 02:23 |
| Jordan_U | Zyklon: Are you starting wine frome gnome-terminal? | 02:24 |
| Killamus | weboide: Thanks. I made sure not to check the hardware stuff I might use. I was just worried about a few on that list. | 02:24 |

| === kad_ is now known as vers | ||

| LinuxGuy2009 | Killamus: Yeah its removeable, it will also remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage also I think cause its a dependency. | 02:27 |
| Jordan_U | !ubuntu-desktop | Killamus | 02:28 |
| Killamus | Alright, thanks. Good luck all. | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Killamus: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 02:28 |
| weboide | Killamus: True, you probably won't be able to remove everything related to Evolution as Gnome itself has some dependicies on it. I tried once, I couldn't remove everyting. | 02:28 |
| weboide | Killamus: but you can remove most of it though. | 02:29 |
| Killamus | weboide: I removed what I could, just rather irksome when I click on a link and it loads Evolution. Also, removed the packages and my computer isn't on fire, so thanks. | 02:30 |

| ems | fluvvell, that might actually work, but then there is the issue with my cousin who I play league of legends with. Wine does not support it. Ive tried. | 03:04 |
| ems | fluvvell, so that one i am sol with as well :D | 03:04 |
| renedox | Jabber, I find, is quite a good protocol | 03:05 |
| renedox | yeah, facebook and gtalk uses it | 03:05 |

| xangua | ems: it supports aim | 03:06 |
| ems | xand, yes but not webcam | 03:07 |

| allan8904 | hi, i've been able to disable most of the features available in the "right click" of the gnome panel, but the "about panels" and "help" are still there. Is there any way to get rid of these? | 03:07 |

| fluvvell | ems, you can chat and contact them with empathy/pidgin then webcam with skype if necessary | 03:08 |
| niteshade | you know how, if in windows or DOS if you hold down ALT, then type in some numbers, and then release you'll get the character in ascii you just typed? How do you do it in linux? | 03:08 |

| serit | 5th time ? | 03:30 |
| trojan_spike | Jesdisciple, its best to do a full installation.. upgrading can be dodgy .. | 03:30 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | yes, i asked several times earlier today | 03:30 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | got no answer | 03:30 |
| thune3 | ar0nic: now you must explain how you got it | 03:31 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | worked fine for the first two days | 03:31 |
| Jesdisciple | I don't have a CD burner available... | 03:31 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | but now every time I reboot I need to repair grub to get it to boot again | 03:31 |
| serit | thune3: got what? | 03:31 |
| Jordan_U | [FKU]Greycloak: Where are you seeing a repair grub option? | 03:31 |
| thune3 | serit: how he finally found the MAC address | 03:32 |
| Jesdisciple | do have a USB but wouldn't know how to use it to get my hard drive installed to | 03:32 |

| [FKU]Greycloak | jordanb: after booting into recovery mode | 03:32 |
| === curtis is now known as Guest89379 | ||
| thune3 | serit: i have zero idea what you are talking about, pm me if you wish to explain | 03:33 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | which is the only thing on the grub menu that works | 03:33 |
| Jesdisciple | So how might I do a full install without a CD burner...? Or is it feasible? | 03:33 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | symptom-wise it bears a resemblance to what people are complaining about with the upgrade to 10.04 | 03:33 |
| serit | thune3: how did he find the MAC address? | 03:33 |
| Jordan_U | [FKU]Greycloak: That option as far as I know just runs update-grub, which in turn just re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I don't see how the grub.cfg could be corrupted in a way that running update-grub would be required every boot. | 03:33 |
| lkk- | how to reconn to tty pts/0 ? | 03:34 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | all i know is that if i dont do it, the system doesnt boot | 03:34 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | just hangs at a blank screen with a cursor | 03:34 |
| thune3 | serit: yes that went on for 10 minutes, he said he found it, and didn't say how he found it. | 03:34 |
| Guest89379 | hi im runing ubuntu on my samsung netbook everything is working perfect except i cant cahnge the brightness of the screen please help | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | [FKU]Greycloak: Can you try doing everything but selecting the update grub option to confirm that that is really what is fixing things? | 03:34 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | sure, i'll be back in a minute or two | 03:34 |

| lkk- | when ssh lose connection, how to reconnect to tty pts/0 ? | 03:36 |
| alexm | is there any other fireswalls enabled on a new linux install...we disabled iptables but still having a hard time resolving domain names using nslookup | 03:36 |
| alexm | from another box | 03:36 |
| alexm | but on the local box nslookup works fine for the same domains | 03:36 |
| serit | thune3: ok so he never fount that mac address | 03:36 |
| tomato | hm, i think you know more than me | 03:37 |
| tomato | alexm | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | alexm: iptables is the only firewall for linux, everything is just a front end for iptables. | 03:37 |
| Guest89379 | I need some help. Ym samsung netbook does not alow me to change the brightness of the screen | 03:37 |
| alexm | here is an example.. try to nslookup www.google.com using dns server: 204.15.197.60 | 03:38 |
| tomato | how can i add /usr/sbin/vgetty binary to startup? i'm aware that inittab isn't being used anymore. i've tried adding a script to /etc/init.d/ but that doesn't work either when i try "start vgetty" | 03:38 |

| serit | hey what happened lost my link | 03:43 |
| Saguaro | what's the program, tomato? | 03:43 |
| thune3 | kjbbb: the best way to stop gdm from starting is to add "text" to grub line, this way you can still run "start gdm" if you want X. | 03:43 |
| tomato | Saguaro, it's vgetty . located in /usr/sbin/vgetty | 03:44 |

| qwm | thank you.. | 03:45 |
| Guest89379 | tomato, i will give that a try and let you know if it worked | 03:45 |

| tomato | Saguaro, sounds good! i'll give it a shot | 03:47 |

| === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn | ||

| thune3 | kjbbb: or actually you are supposed to put something like start on never .... but i don't remember | 03:49 |
| wahby | hi guys | 03:49 |

| JohnPlay3r | or IE using Wine | 03:54 |
| tensorpudding | and safari | 03:54 |
| renedox | lynx | 03:54 |

| renedox | Jesdisciple: if you do decide to dual boot windows/linux, besure to install windows first, then linux | 03:56 |

| TXMatt | Hello, Has anyone been having problems with downloading videos from youtube, torrents, and other files? It started about 3 weeks ago for me, I have reinstalled ubuntu a few times x86 and 64 bit to see if that helped. I'm now using mint 9 with a live cd and the problems don't acure anymore for some reason but the lagg still happens on the installed mint 9 os.. | 04:01 |
| renedox | Nautilus: search for "chrome" in synaptic | 04:01 |
| TXMatt | could this be cause from flash or java ? | 04:01 |
| Jesdisciple | skunkworks, that is one long email | 04:01 |

| demonspork | Jordan_U, the old server is being an NAT firewall, but I wouldn't think that would protect it from attempts to access ssh | 04:03 |
| Jesdisciple | Yeah, I didn't find chromium-browser either | 04:03 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | i'd still love to know what was causing the problem though | 04:03 |
| Nautilus | renedox: not recently anyways. | 04:04 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | Jordan_U: the grub repair wasnt necessary | 04:04 |

| renedox | 42 | 04:12 |
| rapage | will my ext3 be converted to ext4 if I pick use as ext4 and choose not to format it | 04:12 |
| rapage | or it will jujst crash | 04:13 |
| tomato | if there's no inittab and /etc/event.d/ then how can you add things to startup? | 04:13 |
| rapage | will my ext3 be converted to ext4 if I pick use as ext4 and choose not to format it | 04:13 |
| ceil420 | rapage: i doubt it | 04:14 |
| ashwani | volume is failed to work and i don't know what should i do | 04:14 |
| ashwani | please help me out from this situation guys | 04:15 |
| rapage | ceil420, ?? | 04:15 |
| rapage | explain waht is ur double | 04:15 |
| ceil420 | rapage: i don't think you can change fs formats, even just ext3->ext4, without formatting the disk | 04:15 |
| ceil420 | erm, partition | 04:16 |

| Raptors | http://pastie.org/1162060 | 04:16 |
| Raptors | Does anyone know how to fix that? | 04:16 |
| tomato | oh my goodness! for anyone else wondering how to add a binary to startup in ubuntu 9+, add a script to /etc/init | 04:16 |
| ceil420 | rapage: in fact, now that i think about it, when i installed ubuntu a while back (9.10 i think), i made my home dir ext4. it was already ext3. it formatted it. | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | wahby: Try re-installing grub following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 04:16 |
| ceil420 | rapage: and i doubt it's changed since then :) | 04:16 |
| luclucluc2010 | <tomato> And ? | 04:17 |
| wahby | i will read that | 04:17 |
| tomato | luclucluc2010, one sec | 04:17 |
| ceil420 | rapage: if there's some feature in ext4 that you just *have* to have, i recommend backing up the partition and formatting the drive ext4 | 04:17 |
| wahby | think you | 04:17 |
| luclucluc2010 | <tomato> okok | 04:17 |
| Kage | According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB I need to add myself to the vboxusers group, but this group does not exist <.< | 04:18 |
| phoenix_ | Raptors: try to run the command with "sudo" prefixed | 04:18 |
| tomato | luclucluc2010, there's this ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7067812&postcount=3 .. where he says "put in the followng", you put all that into a vgetty.conf file instead and then once you have that .. you can call "sudo start vgetty" | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | rapage: It should either complain or mount your ext3 partition as ext4. If it mounts your ext3 partition as ext4 then any files written from then on will use ext4 features. | 04:18 |
| Raptors | phoenix_, I tried that same prob. | 04:19 |
| SuperMiguel | how do i set /home/user/public_html/ instead of /var/www/ as root folder in apache2? | 04:19 |
| tomato | luclucluc2010, you put the conf file in /etc/init instead of the old way, /etc/event.d/ | 04:19 |
| thune3 | rapage: beyond the instructions in the Ext4_Howto (tune2fs parameter adding, and fsck), it is recommended to run fsck.ext3 on your partition beforehand to make sure it is clean. | 04:19 |
| tomato | luclucluc2010, i found that /etc/event.d/ is no longer used from the release notes .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/ReleaseNotes | 04:20 |
| luclucluc2010 | <tomato> ok | 04:20 |
| ceil420 | SuperMiguel: i'm usually lazy with it, and just make a link to ~/public_html from /var/www | 04:20 |
| phoenix_ | Raptors: set read/write permissions for those directories for the current user | 04:20 |
| ceil420 | SuperMiguel: i'm sure there's a line in the apache config files to do it properly, though | 04:20 |
| luclucluc2010 | <tomato> Ah. | 04:20 |
| SuperMiguel | ceil420, what exactly you do? | 04:20 |
| FyreFoX | hi when using the .Private home directory in lucid, do you lose half the space? I have a /home partiton of 52G and it shows as almost full from df -h. yet when I do a du -shc in the users directory they have only used 25G | 04:21 |
| luclucluc2010 | <tomato> Must something wrong. | 04:21 |
| ceil420 | SuperMiguel: cd /var ; sudo ln -s /home/ceil/www . | 04:21 |
| FyreFoX | I guess the /home/.ecryptfs is where the other 25G is. | 04:21 |
| Marine | Marine is gaming. !gameinfo for more info. | 04:22 |
| ceil420 | SuperMiguel: (i guess in your case, it'd be /home/user/public_html instead, and then mv public_html www) | 04:22 |
| Raptors | phoenix_, they are set to read/write. | 04:23 |
| Marine | I'm back from the game! | 04:23 |

| phoenix_ | Raptors: "plugin.cpp:324: error: ‘value’ was not declared in this scope" | 04:24 |
| tomato | luclucluc2010, oops, it's fixed now and it working. thanks for the info though! i didn't realize that /etc/event.d/ was no longer used and i was following old instructions on the forum | 04:24 |
| thune3 | FyreFoX: so du -khsc /home is 25G? | 04:24 |
| tomato | luclucluc2010, once i used /etc/init, everything worked fine | 04:25 |

| FyreFoX | thune3: no sorry I read that wrong. du -khsc /home/ is 50G | 04:26 |

| IdleOne | greezmunkey: only need to restart when the system says it needs to | 04:33 |
| greezmunkey | IdleOne: Dulak That's what I figured, thanks! :) | 04:33 |
| phoenix_ | Raptors: in this page read the "message#10" -->http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577886 | 04:33 |

| twoshot_ | There's a router cd that I'm trying to use. I try to run setup.exe in wine and it says it's not executable. but when i chmod it it says the disc is read only | 05:15 |
| kbot6789 | the game im trying for is megaglist | 05:15 |
| iluminator101 | Question i unistalled pulse audio and installed alsa, everything is working fine expect flash, do i have manually configure something is so what? | 05:15 |
| Nautilus | ok, i see whats at the heart of my problem, a 301 redirect that shouldnt be happening (local dev box setup, 8.04 LTS). anyone around that can help me debug it? | 05:16 |
| Datz | twoshot_: if it's a setup cd, you could probably do it without the CD | 05:17 |
| BeyondInferno | can anyone help me with a kernel error? | 05:17 |
| twoshot_ | Datz, by going to 192.168.0.1 or something | 05:17 |
| twoshot_ | ? | 05:17 |
| Datz | twoshot_: yea | 05:17 |
| Nicholaspugh91 | I'm having a problem with Adobe Flash Player wanting to crash every time I load Firefox, Anyone know what could be doing this? | 05:17 |
| Datz | twoshot_: run "ifconfig" | 05:17 |
| twoshot_ | Datz, for what reason | 05:18 |
| twoshot_ | I don't have access to the machine | 05:18 |
| twoshot_ | gotta call my bro | 05:18 |
| gnoobuntu | thecdggseries: the #spanish for ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| gnoobuntu | or in general? | 05:18 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: what is the issue, missed it. | 05:18 |
| Datz | twoshot_: to the router? | 05:18 |
| gnoobuntu | thecdggseries: you type "/join #channelname" | 05:18 |
| twoshot_ | the computer or the router | 05:18 |
| ivanrad | hey all | 05:18 |

| Datz | twoshot_: oh.. well I don't know what you were trying to accoplish then | 05:19 |
| gnoobuntu | thecdggseries: "/join #ubuntu-es" seba says | 05:19 |
| twoshot_ | Datz, I'm trying to help him out | 05:19 |
| twoshot_ | what should I get from ifconfig | 05:19 |
| gnoobuntu | thecdggseries: freenode is the best network: wikipedia, wikimedia, gnu, fsf, ubuntu... | 05:19 |
| thecdggseries | opera? | 05:19 |
| gnoobuntu | opera browser? | 05:19 |
| seba | opera que? | 05:19 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: been narrowing it down. A few days ago I was playing with a RewriteRule in the dirs of one vhost, thats all gone now and I made a new vhost, and for some reason it's doing a redirect | 05:20 |
| thecdggseries | yes opera browser | 05:20 |
| gnoobuntu | not sure | 05:20 |
| gnoobuntu | well find out | 05:20 |
| thecdggseries | I wiil | 05:20 |
| twoshot_ | Datz, doesn't ifconfig just output info | 05:20 |
| Datz | twoshot_: can you bring up the router's page? | 05:20 |
| gnoobuntu | they are on irc.opera.com | 05:20 |
| gnoobuntu | it looks like | 05:20 |
| twoshot_ | you mean the ip? | 05:20 |
| Datz | twoshot_: I was going to help you find the gateway | 05:20 |
| twoshot_ | ah ok | 05:21 |
| twoshot_ | I might be able to | 05:21 |
| twoshot_ | let me call my brother on skype | 05:21 |
| gnoobuntu | thecdggseries: in which case its "/server irc.opera.com" and then "/join #opera" | 05:21 |
| Datz | twoshot_: what is the problem anyway? | 05:21 |
| thecdggseries | this is weird | 05:21 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: it almost sounds like an artifact, or remnant. Did you create a new vhost from scratch, or copy the bones of it from another? | 05:22 |
| twoshot_ | he needs to set up his router to get wireless | 05:22 |
| === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| twoshot_ | Datz, ifconfig shows only eth0 lo | 05:22 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest64541 | ||
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: yea ilke something is stuck in cache or similar. The vhost is pretty much from scratch, same way I've done it 10x before on this box and those all work. | 05:23 |
| Datz | twoshot_: run "route" find gateway there | 05:23 |
| kbot6789 | is it hard to install bin ? | 05:23 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: one PM ok? | 05:23 |
| twoshot_ | It gives four lines Datz | 05:23 |
| * gverig is trying out Empathy... and doesn't get the point. Why is this better than pidgin? The chat bubbles? | 05:23 | |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: set up wireshark, then access the vhost. You can also filter if needed. The trace should show you what you need to know. | 05:24 |
| Nautilus | i can see the problem with the output of wget | 05:24 |
| Nautilus | the question is WHY is it doing it | 05:24 |
| Datz | twoshot_: you see more than one gateway? | 05:24 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: pidgin might have more options/features than someone needs; thats my guess. i wouldnt say its "better" | 05:25 |
| luw | hi i am looking for a driver for my dell 810 printer "all in one". does anybody know of one or a compatiable driver? | 05:25 |
| twoshot_ | yeah | 05:25 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: ^ | 05:25 |
| thecdggseries | yesss | 05:25 |
| Datz | twoshot_: there shouldn't be | 05:26 |
| thecdggseries | I Am on it | 05:26 |
| twoshot_ | Datz, there are four for the interface eth0 | 05:26 |
| Datz | try them one at a time | 05:26 |
| thecdggseries | thanks gnoobuntu | 05:26 |
| twoshot_ | the ip? | 05:26 |
| twoshot_ | on the far left? | 05:26 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: donno, what does wget show? | 05:26 |
| Datz | twoshot_: under gateway | 05:26 |
| gnoobuntu | thecdggseries: no problem. hopefully it doesnt seem too complicated | 05:26 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: my point is, I don't believe (or don't see) that empathy adds much and definitely not enough to switch what everybody is used to. Again, maybe I'm missing something... | 05:26 |
| thecdggseries | hehehe | 05:27 |
| Nautilus | it goes for the file fer vhost folder triggers an unwanted 301 redirect, from something I played with a couple days ago and deleted (different vhost) | 05:27 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: well, empathy is default on ubuntu right? | 05:27 |
| Nautilus | fer=per* | 05:27 |
| twoshot_ | gateway says star Datz | 05:27 |
| twoshot_ | * | 05:27 |
| twoshot_ | under three of them | 05:27 |
| Datz | gverig: I believe it adds video support for some protocols, that is my guess as to why ubuntu switched default IM | 05:27 |
| twoshot_ | and like BYSDGSL under the last one | 05:27 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: now it is, since 10.04 IIRC. Before Pidging was. I just don't get why the switch... | 05:28 |
| Datz | twoshot_: then use the one with the number | 05:28 |
| at05gt | anybody familiar with virtual box? | 05:28 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: good question. especially considering pidgin is cross-platform | 05:28 |
| gnoobuntu | i don't know. i haven't installed pidgin over empathy though since i upgraded to 10.04 | 05:29 |
| twoshot_ | apparently my brother was told not to plug in his router until its setup Datz | 05:29 |
| gnoobuntu | because i dont use any of those protocols really | 05:29 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: instead of just retrieving the file from the folder specified in the vhost, it does a 301 redirect. I played with redirects a couple days ago but that should all now be deleted, started with a2dissite and took it all out. | 05:29 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: I have. Wanted to try empathy now that I'm on 10.10... will install Pidgin back as soonaas I'm done with this chat :) | 05:29 |
| at05gt | i need some startup advice for running a vista partition in virtual box | 05:29 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: I don't care about protocols, Pidgin has cleaner interface, IMO | 05:30 |
| Datz | twoshot_: sounds like your brother knows how to set it up. | 05:30 |
| twoshot_ | not in the least lol | 05:30 |
| twoshot_ | trust me | 05:30 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: hard to argue with you. pidgin is great | 05:30 |
| Datz | twoshot_: what kind of internet connection do you have there? | 05:30 |
| RevChas | Does anyone here have some good know-how on dovecot? The #dovecot channel is dead. | 05:30 |
| Datz | twoshot_: as in DSL, Cable..etc | 05:31 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: Chat bubbles just waste space, especially in IRC. And Pidgin has a better interface in terms of highlighting lines where your nick is mentioned, highlighting tabs with new info, etc. | 05:31 |
| gverig | pidgin it is then :) thanks gnoobuntu :) | 05:31 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: use naim and irssi! | 05:31 |
| gverig | cheers! | 05:31 |
| schmity | your welcome | 05:31 |
| twoshot_ | he doesn't know. probably dsl | 05:31 |
| twoshot_ | its a college | 05:31 |
| Datz | irssi ftw | 05:31 |
| twoshot_ | a&m to be exact | 05:31 |
| gnoobuntu | irssi+1 | 05:31 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: oh hm, I wonder... is there a way to clear dns cache? | 05:32 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: I like having IMs in the same windows as IRC. | 05:32 |
| Datz | twoshot_: ok, If it were cable I would tell you just to plug it in and it might work.. otherwise.. you'll need more info to set it up. | 05:32 |
| twoshot_ | :/ | 05:32 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: why is iirssi better than pidgin (what are the advantages?)? | 05:32 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: actually, I was thinking that perhaps the issue is in your browser. Can you clear all cache, cookie, tec - and try again? | 05:32 |
| twoshot_ | llinksys wireless G access point. WAP54G | 05:32 |
| balleyne | what's the default smtp server in ubuntu? | 05:33 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: did all that in FF. The thing is, wget shows the issue too. | 05:33 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: it runs in the console/terminal so its super tiny and fast w/o a gui | 05:33 |
| Datz | gnoobuntu: tried finch? | 05:33 |
| balleyne | and is there a way to tell which smtp server my ubuntu server is using? | 05:33 |
| gnoobuntu | Datz: nope | 05:33 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: oh :) | 05:33 |
| Datz | gnoobuntu: it's pidgin with text interface | 05:33 |
| sinman | need help with a laptop touchpad | 05:33 |
| gnoobuntu | Datz: you recommend it? | 05:33 |
| gnoobuntu | gverig: http://paradoxdgn.com/junk/irssi.jpg | 05:34 |
| Datz | gnoobuntu: I used it, but I don't use other IM protocols anymore, so I just use irssi, and some gui client when necessary for other protocols | 05:34 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: OK then, that would be about right... A 301 redir should only exist as the browser reads the page... something like that wouldn't register in DNS... | 05:34 |
| at05gt | can virtual box boot to my the vista install on my other drive, or do i have to create a new boot image? | 05:34 |
| Datz | gnoobuntu: but otherwise, yes, it was great when I used it | 05:34 |
| Datz | check it out | 05:34 |
| porter1 | balleyne, postfix is the recommended MTA on Ubuntu. | 05:35 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: Are you using squid? | 05:35 |
| sinman | can't log into my laptop, it don't reconize the touchpad or my usb mouse | 05:35 |
| balleyne | porter1: thanks | 05:35 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: not unless its default, I believe no | 05:35 |
| Datz | bbl | 05:35 |
| gverig | gnoobuntu: nice :) Cheers, I'm off to removing Empathy | 05:36 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: Squid can act like that, as it can cache pages. Check it out. | 05:36 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: but i wouldnt mind clearing DNS cache and similar if it's easy enough | 05:36 |
| Nautilus | dont want to cache pages | 05:36 |
| abhijit | hi gm | 05:36 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: synaptic shows squid not installed, and its not like it's caching pages, it's like a 301 redirect has gone wild and is stuck in the system | 05:38 |
| * brandon420 is away: i shall return laterz | 05:38 | |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: see if this helps on the DNS thing, but I really don't think that is it. Checking a few things... | 05:39 |

| abhijit | one line spam? | 05:43 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: check this...http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html - Do you have any of this configured? | 05:44 |
| Nautilus | the other url, thats ancient stuff | 05:44 |
| abhijit | aionys, what you want to do? | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: I know, sometimes useful though... | 05:44 |
| sinman | does anyone know about laptop touchpads?????? | 05:45 |
| aionys | I want to use the WindowMaker GUI, instead of GNOME, KDE, etc., but with compositing support. | 05:45 |
| Nautilus | greezmunkey: no proxying or anything. its a bare 8.04 LTS that I just make a vhost and matching hosts entry for, points to a dir where I do local web dev work. | 05:45 |
| Blue1 | sinman: they are evil | 05:45 |

| sinman | Blue1: that might be, but my laptop not reconizing the touchpad or a mouse at the lofgin screen | 05:46 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus: sorry then, not much help here I'm afraid. Nice chatting, I hope you find a solution. | 05:46 |
| kalle_ | is freenx better suited at this | 05:46 |
| Blue1 | kalle_: what's wrong with ssh? | 05:46 |
| kalle_ | ssh doesnt support x11 | 05:46 |
| aionys | The WindowMaker GUI is based on NextSTEP, and consists of a dock (which is easy to get, like GNOME-Do's Docky), and a clip (which I can't find). | 05:46 |
| kalle_ | sometimes i want guis also | 05:46 |
| Blue1 | kalle_: no, but xterm does | 05:47 |
| Nautilus | greez: well thanks for trying! Do you know a better channel to ask? Mebbe try #httpd again | 05:47 |
| sinman | Blue1: how can i get it to work or even a mouse to work on the login screen | 05:47 |
| kalle_ | is xterm like ssh buth with graphics ? | 05:47 |
| aionys | The clip is basically the same thing as a dock, in that you can attach launchers and dockapps to it, but you can also hide the things attached, and the clip is per workspace, unlike the dock, which shows the same thing on all workspaces. | 05:48 |
| kalle_ | I want to be able to do anything i can locally but remotely, atleast on my local lan | 05:48 |
| Blue1 | sinman: have you tried the live cd? sounds like an x problem. | 05:48 |
| Karen_m | ubuntu for a server, is it good? | 05:49 |
| Blue1 | kalle_: well xterm is a terminal emulator | 05:49 |
| Karen_m | my isp won't offer debian, only ubuntu on this machine | 05:49 |
| Karen_m | i use ubuntu for desktop | 05:49 |
| Blue1 | kalle_: but I administer all the machines I need to, with ssh | 05:49 |
| sinman | Blue1: thats what i used to install with, I check it out first doing the live disk and it work fine, it wasn't after i installed it is when it's not responding | 05:49 |
| Blue1 | sinman: can you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf please | 05:50 |

| abhijit | aionys, have you tried cairo dock? i remember something cairo does the same give it a try | 05:56 |
| rusivi | Hello, I just did a native Maverick Beta install and mid-install it offered to download updates during the install, instructed me to choose my wireless network but no networks were shown (plenty were in the area and the switch was on :P ) what do I bug against ubuntu-bug ubuntu? | 05:56 |
| aionys | I'll look, but I doubt it's anything like a clip. | 05:56 |
| Blue1 | sinman: it is worth a try. I am looking at http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+presario+cq60 atm | 05:57 |
| abhijit | aionys, give a try if you dont like you can uninsatll it. | 05:57 |
| sinman | Blue1: k i'll take a look there also | 05:58 |
| Blue1 | sinman: you arey trying to install oh 10.04 yes? | 05:58 |
| aionys | That's what i meant when I said I'd look. :) | 05:58 |
| abhijit | ok | 05:58 |
| Blue1 | sinman: one question - did the problem occur after install, or after running updates? | 05:58 |
| aionys | thanks. | 05:59 |
| sinman | Blue1: first is it has amd sempron in it, and to answer your question this is a fresh install doing side by side with windows 7 | 05:59 |
| === [styx] is now known as styx|brb | ||
| Blue1 | sinman all my mahcines, sans netbook have amd semprons in them | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | sinman: verify you got a good download (md5sum) and try again... | 06:01 |
| Jesdisciple | running 9.10 now... wow, the updates take forever | 06:02 |
| sinman | I do, I used this disk for other computers, this is the first time using the disk for a laptop | 06:02 |
| Blue1 | sinman: okay I'd try it again. | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | sinman: YMMV applies | 06:04 |
| === Blue1 is now known as Blue1Away | ||
| sinman | Blue1: k | 06:05 |
| muhoo | very sad. 10.04.1 does NOT work with PCMCIA | 06:05 |
| Blue1Away | just an fyi -- ivanrad is up and running. been a long day | 06:05 |
| Pavel_10 | Can I install UNR and give it a really small partition of my drive to simulate a lower-performing netbook? | 06:05 |
| sinman | Blue1: how can i find out if the processor is 63bit or not, even though it has windows 7 64bit in it | 06:05 |
| Blue1Away | muhoo: says who? | 06:05 |
| muhoo | pcmcia cards just show up with MANFID=0000,0000 | 06:05 |
| Blue1Away | sinman: hang on | 06:06 |
| muhoo | Blue1Away: debian lenny, works. older distros with 2.4 kernels, also work | 06:06 |
| muhoo | something in 2.6.32 is broken, a regression in yenta socket probably | 06:06 |
| Blue1Away | sinman: try: if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "is 64 bits"; else "No luck "; fi | 06:06 |
| Blue1Away | muhoo: I have no issue with an old compaq desktop | 06:07 |
| muhoo | Blue1Away: a desktop with pcmcia? | 06:07 |
| muhoo | pcmcia is a laptop thing | 06:08 |
| Blue1Away | muhoo: okay I don't own a laptop | 06:08 |
| === styx|brb is now known as [styx] | ||
| muhoo | i tried frankensteining it by installing an older 2.6.26 kernel, but 10.04.1 requires a bunch of new crap in 2.6.32 apparently, udev, etc | 06:08 |
| muhoo | not sure what-all but it's very different | 06:08 |
| sinman | Blue1: k wrote it down, gonna boot the laptop with the live disk and check that first before i do a rinstall | 06:08 |
| muhoo | i hate when "upgrades" turn into downgrades because they break for no good reason. | 06:09 |
| Blue1Away | muhoo: i was thinking pci - my bad. | 06:09 |
| muhoo | Blue1Away: np. yeah, pci is always solid, never had trouble in 10 years of linux, AFAICR | 06:09 |
| buzzard32 | pcmcia is getting to be old legacy hardware like 5.25 floopy | 06:11 |
| Blue1Away | okay off | 06:11 |
| Blue1Away | buzzard32: yes. my desktop does NOT have a floppy. | 06:11 |
| muhoo | yes, and i have old legacy hardware :-/ | 06:13 |
| tensorpudding | PCMCIA is a good bit more useful than 5.25" floppies... | 06:13 |
| muhoo | a laptop. it has a pcmcia interface, like every laptop did between 1997 and like 2007 | 06:13 |
| muhoo | happily, i was able to plug in a weird rtl8187a usb wifi card, and it came right up. but i guess those are tomorrow's legacy hardwares :-) | 06:14 |
| tensorpudding | Though not since it became standard issue for laptops to have Wifi cards. | 06:14 |
| muhoo | not wifi cards, a wifi chip, usually, atheros or other software-based radio | 06:15 |
| grasber | hi, anyone who can help with "Minimal bash shell..." screen at startup? | 06:15 |
| abhijit | is lives is an kde or gnome ap? | 06:15 |
| tensorpudding | Well, they're removable through a slot. | 06:15 |
| muhoo | maybe 10.04.1 is missing some kind of legacy PNP stuff that the PCMCIA requires? | 06:16 |
| === fratz_afk is now known as fratz | ||
| fratz | morning! | 06:16 |
| muhoo | IIRC, PCMCIA uses ISA interrupts, at least the 16bit cards do | 06:16 |
| muhoo | 32bit cardbus cards use PCI | 06:16 |
| tensorpudding | grasber: It sounds like you are booting into a rescue shell | 06:17 |
| tensorpudding | grasber: Probably this is due to boot errors | 06:17 |
| muhoo | crap. apparently i'm not the only one with this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/397242 | 06:20 |
| muhoo | and what does "expired" mean?! come on, fix it! | 06:21 |
| nogo | expired? | 06:21 |
| muhoo | i will have to try this apport thing | 06:22 |
| minh_ | join #swig | 06:22 |
| muhoo | this bug has existed in TWO previous ubuntu releases, still not fixed | 06:23 |
| muhoo | last working ubuntu was 8.10, apparently | 06:23 |
| abhijit | unable to get package name for xVideoServiceThief any one knows? | 06:23 |
| muhoo | that's a pretty long regression | 06:23 |
| muhoo | and, at least 3 other people have reported having the same problem too. result appears to be *shrug* | 06:24 |
| muhoo | very odd. used to be, that old hardware worked BETTER in linux than in other os'es. nowadays, seems to be the other way around | 06:25 |
| abhijit | any fatrat alternate for gnome? | 06:26 |
| abhijit | brb | 06:26 |
| muhoo | will try kernel mainline | 06:28 |
| bullgard4 | muhoo: It is odd that you do not feel as a member of the Ubuntu community and are contributing to fix this bug. | 06:28 |
| muhoo | bullgard4: well, what can i do? the whole pcmcia and yenta subsystems are massive, it's not like i'm going to be able to devote years to understanding them well enough to fix regression bugs | 06:29 |
| bullgard4 | muhoo: Observe carefully and report your careful observations to Launchpad. | 06:30 |
| muhoo | best i can do is try the apport thing, try the mainline kernels, and see if i can bifurcate it by brute force | 06:30 |
| Lunadie | opa | 06:31 |
| muhoo | bullgard4: will do. i am discouraged that several years worth of other folks careful observations on launchpad appear to not helped | 06:31 |

| hhassey | how do i fix my dbus | 06:37 |
| bullgard4 | Nef1: 3 question marks in a row are considered rude in this channel and #ubuntu. -- You should google for »video capture», »ubuntu maverick«, »ffmpeg« AND your tv card type designator, do what is said there and report here any error message here. | 06:37 |

| Jordan_U | kish: You can setup grub2 to boot from the iso file. | 07:01 |
| fratz | Jordan_U: yep | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | kish: And you're correct, Ubuntu's isos can't just be dd'd to a flash drive. | 07:03 |
| fratz | ubuntu on usb ... just use "unetbootin" | 07:03 |
| fratz | can put all iso's on a stick | 07:03 |

| thune3 | Maahes: back on 9.10, the live usb casper-rw never got unmounted properly and would require that I boot livecd and run e2fsck on the casper-rw file | 07:38 |

| Pengu1 | I don't need to resize them. I need to create a new partition with both the unallocated spaced, but it won't let me. | 09:00 |
| Pengu1 | I've deleted both of them, they're unallocated. | 09:00 |
| Pengu1 | It won't let me make one partition out of both of them, though. | 09:00 |
| Jesdisciple | o, one of the partitions dvides the unallocated space | 09:00 |
| Jesdisciple | I think that partition that's in the middle must be deleted as well | 09:01 |
| Jesdisciple | as I understand it a partition must be composed of contiguous memory | 09:01 |
| Pengu1 | Delete /dev/sdb2? | 09:01 |
| maedox | Cantide, just don't change to much at a time, make a backup and have a live-cd handy. | 09:01 |
| Jesdisciple | I guess... I don't see ur partition table =p | 09:01 |

| Gareth__ | Hey, I'm trying to boot up into 10.10 live (64-bit) but I keep getting "no signal" on my monitor before it gets to the menu where I select install/try. I think this might have something to do with my Radeon 5850? | 09:02 |
| NeoCicak | hello.. has anyone used osslinux (opensound) on ubuntu? | 09:02 |
| Jesdisciple | I didn't no 10.10 was out... | 09:02 |
| Gareth__ | Beta | 09:02 |
| Gareth__ | I had the same problem when I wanted to try 10.04 | 09:03 |
| i_is_broke | Gareth__, ubuntu+1 | 09:03 |
| Jesdisciple | was 10./04 beta at the time? | 09:03 |
| dubey | how to stop service in ubuntu TLS during boot time ? | 09:03 |
| Gareth__ | No | 09:03 |
| Gareth__ | This was in June | 09:03 |
| Gareth__ | I | 09:03 |
| Gareth__ | I'm trying 10.10 today though | 09:03 |
| Cantide | testing it now, brb ( hopefully ) | 09:04 |
| thune3 | dubey: there are a couple method, and it depends on the service. what service? | 09:04 |
| i_is_broke | Gareth__, well try downloading the alternative and try fixing your video then\ | 09:04 |
| Gareth__ | Alternative? | 09:04 |
| i_is_broke | Gareth__, yeah the alternative disk. | 09:05 |
| steveccc | does anyone know of a site where people show off their desktop designs / layouts / customisations? | 09:05 |
| dubey | thune3: cupsd | 09:05 |
| Gareth__ | Can you give me a link to the download? | 09:05 |
| i_is_broke | Gareth__, but you should google ati the card and see if there is a good driver for it. | 09:06 |
| Gareth__ | But how do I load a driver for it if I can't get into Linux> | 09:06 |
| maedox | dubey, sudo update-rc.d -f servicename remove | 09:06 |
| i_is_broke | Gareth__, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download | 09:07 |
| Gareth__ | Thanks | 09:07 |
| maedox | dubey, you will loose print capabilities, but I guess you know that. :) to add it back: update-rc.d servicename defaults | 09:07 |
| dubey | maedox: and how to view | 09:07 |
| maedox | dubey, how to view what? | 09:07 |
| i_is_broke | Gareth__, should google ati and your card and see what it says about ubuntu. | 09:07 |
| dubey | maedox: I means how to view that which services is on during boot process | 09:08 |
| dubey | maedox: E.g chkconfig --list servicesname | 09:08 |
| maedox | dubey, good question. Can't remember the option. man update-rc.d | 09:09 |
| maedox | dubey, they are all links in /etc/rc#.d/ where # is runlevel. 0 1 6 are down, 2 3 4 5 are up. | 09:09 |
| dubey | maedox: it means update-rc.d is the command just like chkconfig, right ? | 09:10 |
| maedox | dubey, yeah, it's for the same purpose. | 09:11 |
| syn-ack | Good evening, everyone. | 09:11 |

| red | ikonia: it would be totally unacceptable if I ment it literally which is not the case obviously | 09:21 |
| rlankfo | ikonia: absolutely, thought this was efnet | 09:21 |
| ikonia | red: it's unacceptable to joke around in that way, so please, don't | 09:21 |
| Guest89245 | helllo | 09:22 |
| Guest89245 | i was wondering if anyone has any experience with dells and ubuntu 64 bit | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Guest89245: what's the issue | 09:22 |
| syn-ack | Guest89245: like what? | 09:22 |
| Guest89245 | been trying to get the wifi to work with the Hardware Drivers | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Guest89245: ok, where is it failing | 09:23 |
| Guest89245 | when i right click on the network connections it "Enabled Wireless" is greyed out | 09:24 |
| red | ikonia: I might be nitpicking now, but following the channels rules stated in the topic do stress being friendly, but unless that line is taken out of context it is not unfriendly imo, since it's an obvious oneliner joke | 09:24 |
| syn-ack | Guest89245: Gotta install the kernel module for it then | 09:25 |
| ikonia | red: I started off asking you, so now I'll tell you, it's unacceptable, please don't do it again | 09:25 |
| red | it didn't include foul language etc. | 09:25 |
| Guest89245 | I have restarted the computer and every thing the last time i used ubuntu, which was in in 9.04 all i had to do was install the drivers, restart and it worked perfectly | 09:25 |
| syn-ack | what type of card does it have in it, Guest89245 | 09:25 |
| Guest89245 | how do you install the kernel module | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Guest89245: you should just need to go to the system->administration->hardwaredrivers tool to enable it | 09:26 |
| syn-ack | answer my question. What brand of of wifi card does it have in it? | 09:26 |
| red | ikonia: you did not start off by asking either, your attitude actually felt quite unfriendly and abusive regarding the matter not being in any way serious. but fair enough, this is going way offtopic so I'll drop it. | 09:26 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: normally a broadcom on the dells | 09:26 |
| ikonia | thank you | 09:26 |
| Guest89245 | broadcom | 09:26 |
| syn-ack | ikonia: that's what I was thinking but but wasnt sure | 09:26 |
| Guest89245 | 43 series | 09:26 |
| syn-ack | ikonia: will jokey handle the firmware for that on it's own? | 09:27 |
| rlankfo | does ubuntu STILL have issues with bc43xx cards? | 09:27 |
| syn-ack | s/ubuntu/linux perhaps? | 09:27 |
| collabra | red: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras <------ i've been using flash, no prob,... it'll also give you a few restricted codecs too.... as far as 64 bit flash,... i think it's been discontinued | 09:27 |
| rlankfo | Guest89245: you're going to have to use ndiswrapper | 09:27 |
| pan | select * from tables | 09:27 |
| rlankfo | Guest89245: should be plenty of howtos for you on the ubuntu forums | 09:28 |

| red | collabra: yeah I know it's been discontinued, but I attempted using a 32bit version of chrome and it still did not recognize the 32bit adobe plugin installed (even thought Firefox did). got restricted extras installed, thanks thought | 09:28 |
| ipw2200user | didn't Broadcomm drivers go open source recently? | 09:28 |
| syn-ack | Guest89245: open a console for me and in it type sudo jockey-gtk | 09:29 |
| collabra | red: ndiswrapper,... then | 09:29 |
| syn-ack | Guest89245: That'll start the tool ikonia was talking about it | 09:29 |
| red | perhaps, argh | 09:29 |
| ikonia | red: doesn't chrome look in a different place for the library ? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: he shouldn't need to, the hardware drivers tool should do it for him | 09:29 |
| Guest89245 | just brought me to the hardware drivers screen for propiertary | 09:30 |
| syn-ack | ikonia: that IS the hardware drivers tool | 09:30 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: right, so why are you launching it like that | 09:30 |
| industrial | I have a piece of software (midori) that I want to download, compile and install myself. I know perfectly fine how to do this without package manager and have the app in my path. Catch: I have no idea how to do this so that I can also start the app from the GNOME menu and gnome-do, it having a nice icon etcetera. Where can I read about this? | 09:30 |
| syn-ack | ikonia: it's quicker | 09:30 |

| syn-ack | ipw2200user: yeah, but that's not going to be in the kernel until around .37 or so | 09:31 |
| syn-ack | ipw2200user: Heck, it's still in staging | 09:32 |

| syn-ack | ah | 09:33 |
| ipw2200user | Good to know what is happening | 09:33 |
| syn-ack | ipw2200user: ah, yeah, don't expect it to be in mainline kernel for at least another 6 - 8 months... maybe even longer... | 09:33 |
| jhattara | i'm trying to find out if a string contains a certain word with a shell script, how that could be accomplished ? | 09:34 |
| j0elbyte | too bad :-/ | 09:34 |

| Guest89245 | same guest as earlier dont know if that name changed | 09:36 |
| syn-ack | jhattara: jhattara here's something that'll help you: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/regexp.html | 09:36 |
| syn-ack | red: why are you even bothering with that? Chrome has flash built in | 09:36 |
| red | interestingly enough, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ tells me "Your Google Chrome browser already includes the latest Adobe Flash Player built-in." | 09:36 |
| syn-ack | you don't need the flash plugin | 09:36 |
| syn-ack | Right, because you don't need the plugin | 09:37 |
| geirha | syn-ack, jhattara: Nah, that page is plain wrong. Read http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide instead. | 09:37 |

| collabra | lol | 09:38 |
| red | stupid adobe uses browser info to detect that I should have it then I guess | 09:38 |
| syn-ack | red: Well we can't really help you since Chrome isn't an open source application. | 09:38 |
| red | syn-ack: tested on Chromium aswell to same result | 09:38 |
| jhattara | geirha, what shell does that work in | 09:38 |
| geirha | jhattara: bash and ksh | 09:38 |

| red | ill see if i can get that to work then, thanks | 09:39 |
| geirha | jhattara: If you want to do it in posix sh, you can use case instead. case $string in *word*) echo match;; *) echo no match;; esac | 09:40 |
| yareckon | there is really absolutely no reason to install a 32 bit ubuntu any more if you have a high horsepower proc | 09:40 |

| red | any guide to that ndiswrapper + flash | 09:41 |

| ikonia | red: the flashplugin-nonfree should auto set that up | 09:42 |
| MIH1406 | sorry, it is a mistake | 09:42 |
| ikonia | red: as in flashplugin-nonfree package | 09:42 |
| yareckon | red, listen to the man | 09:42 |
| jhattara | geirha, well, the script is otherwise done for /bin/sh and switching to bash would apparently bring out other issues | 09:42 |

| wieshka | ... inserted | 09:49 |
| ikonia | wieshka: no, that maps all devices to a mount point | 09:49 |
| ikonia | wieshka: that would be controlled by udev rules, | 09:50 |
| wieshka | ok, lets check udev rules for cdrom | 09:50 |
| ikonia | wieshka: or you may want to look at using dbus/hal | 09:50 |
| syn-ack | yeah, you'd have to create an event, like ikonia staid | 09:50 |
| mungustas | syn-ack well the /etc/default/linux-igd or /etc/linux-igd has no such line, so nothing to comment out :/ | 09:50 |
| syn-ack | mungustas: so set it then. :/ | 09:51 |
| wieshka | ikonia: looks like 70-persistent-cd rule is what i am looking for | 09:51 |
| syn-ack | mungustas: I don't know that app so all I can suggest is checking the manpage for it | 09:51 |

| c3l | nucc1: my exchange server is evil, its the schools and who knows how its configured | 10:05 |
| nucc1 | syn-ack, is it not IMAP/POP through which you get your email? | 10:06 |
| nucc1 | err, sorry syn-ack | 10:06 |
| nucc1 | c3l, is it not IMAP/POP through which you get your email? | 10:06 |
| obi | anybody help to recover broken system? | 10:06 |
| syn-ack | nucc1: exchange is its own protocol for the most part | 10:06 |
| === francisco is now known as fc | ||
| nucc1 | but i think it can do imap/pop | 10:07 |
| fresonee | got it,thank you maedox | 10:07 |
| nucc1 | oh well. | 10:07 |
| syn-ack | it can, but like he said, who knows if IMAP is enabled on that server | 10:07 |
| nucc1 | obi, you're not really saying anything... what is the problem? | 10:07 |
| === fc is now known as Guest47570 | ||
| c3l | nucc1: I need to log in via a webmial, now that I think of it, I dont think I can access my mail any other way at all.. =/ | 10:07 |
| nucc1 | c3l, too bad. | 10:08 |
| syn-ack | c3l: You could probably hack something together with Evolution + OpenXchange + scripting, but it'd be a mess | 10:08 |
| sinisterstuf | cat test.txt | grep hello | 10:08 |
| c3l | syn-ack: anything is less messy than "Office Outlook Web Access" | 10:09 |
| mungustas | grep hello test.txt | 10:09 |
| mungustas | :) | 10:09 |
| obi | ubuntu wont boot since yesterday. i get the following errors: "phy0 rt2x00lib_prob_ dev: error failed to initialize hw" | 10:09 |
| obi | upgrade kernel maybe but i dont know how when i cant boot? | 10:09 |
| c3l | nucc1 syn-ack: I have "Outlook Web Access host address" "Outlook Web Access host name" "Client Access server name" "Mailbox server name" will any of this help me? | 10:10 |
| maedox | c3l, Exchange can forward emails for you. Why would you hack together something? | 10:11 |
| nucc1 | obi, you try booting a liveCD? | 10:11 |
| syn-ack | maedox: Because he doesn't have admin access ot that machine | 10:11 |
| maedox | he can do it in the web interface | 10:11 |
| obi | no prob booting into live cd | 10:11 |
| maedox | and this is not a friggin exchange support channel :P | 10:11 |
| c3l | maedox: I have no forward config thingy anywhere. where should this be located if its there? I only have acces to the outlook webmail | 10:12 |
| syn-ack | hrm, I thought option was set via a GPO option | 10:12 |
| nucc1 | maedox, perhaps you need to boot a previous kernel.. i don't know how that's done in the current ubuntu versions, sadly | 10:12 |
| syn-ack | actually, I'm sure of it | 10:12 |
| syn-ack | maedox: that is enabling the user to do that | 10:12 |
| nucc1 | that was for obi | 10:12 |
| nucc1 | he he | 10:12 |
| maedox | I don't have an exchange account anymore so I can't walk you through it, but you should be able to set filters to forward. | 10:12 |
| obi | got as far as " chroot " last night | 10:13 |
| syn-ack | Anyway, like you said and I said earlier, this isn't an Exchange channel | 10:13 |
| maedox | nucc1, yeah, I figured. booting another kernel won't help me :P | 10:13 |
| obi | tried earlier kernels with no luck | 10:13 |
| obi | tried recovery mode, no luck either | 10:13 |
| c3l | maedox: ive been looking in every corner, I think I need admin access or similar to do that | 10:14 |
| FusionX | finished installing xfce, feels better than gnome | 10:14 |
| syn-ack | c3l: like I stated the ability to have the user do that is set by a GPO option | 10:14 |
| syn-ack | anyway | 10:14 |
| maedox | c3l, http://programs.cocc.edu/OWA/FW/default.aspx - for 2008, but it's probably the same for older versions. I have done it on 2003. | 10:14 |
| bigbrovar | am having this error "soft lockup - cpu#1 stuck for 61s [swapper:0] anyone encountered it before? | 10:14 |
| FusionX | obi : are u from fluidanims? | 10:14 |
| c3l | maedox: I have no rules menu at all | 10:15 |
| galatage | I am connecting a mobile device to my ubuntu desktop with usb networking enabled. Then when I try to ping the device, I am getting ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted message. But the same device works on my friends desktop.. So what could be the problem with my machine? Thanks in advance. | 10:15 |
| syn-ack | Never mind me, I don't know what I'm talking about | 10:15 |
| obi | ? | 10:15 |
| maedox | c3l, then you're screwed :D unless your sysadmin is not an ass. | 10:15 |
| syn-ack | IT HAS TO BE SET BY THE ADMIN. EoT | 10:16 |
| obi | fusionx what is that? | 10:16 |
| maedox | syn-ack, we are minding you, but you are assuming you know the Group policy of an exchange server you don't run. lol | 10:16 |
| c3l | maedox: theres no way to fetch the mail in anyway and redirect it with a script on my box? | 10:16 |
| obi | can i boot live cd and copy the home folder to external HD, and then do a fresh install? | 10:16 |
| FusionX | oh nvm, thats a community for animations | 10:16 |
| maedox | c3l, why don't you ask your admin to help you? | 10:17 |
| syn-ack | maedox: he already said more than once that he didnt have that option | 10:17 |
| maedox | syn-ack, sorry, I'm doing five things at a time here | 10:17 |
| obi | anybody know how i can recover my system? | 10:18 |
| nittypr | o | 10:18 |
| nittypr | obi | 10:18 |
| ipw2200user | obi - Answer is YES | 10:18 |
| ari_stress | hi all, what's the difference between /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages? | 10:18 |
| syn-ack | ari_stress: a name. | 10:18 |
| obi | will there be any permissions issues? | 10:18 |
| c3l | maedox: It would take half a year to get in contact with them, its my school mail I want to access easier, and the school is ran by a large slow company that has bought webservices of an even slower company. teachers have been trying for years to redirect mail ;) | 10:19 |
| syn-ack | ari_stress: basically messages is the old way the logger used to log before syslog-ng came along, iirc. | 10:19 |
| maedox | c3l, I see. Is there any way to access it with IMAP or POP, because Gmail can fetch via those protocols easily? | 10:19 |
| ipw2200user | obi - I copy to fat32 or similar. Goodbye permissions. | 10:19 |
| obi | what you mean? | 10:20 |
| nucc1 | c3l, if the only way to acces it is webmail, then short of writing a screen scraper, you had better give up. | 10:20 |
| maedox | Evolution has a OWA connector I believe. You could try that. | 10:20 |
| syn-ack | c3l: Honestly dude, what I would do is install the openXchage connecter for Evolution and use that | 10:20 |
| syn-ack | c31 it actually works rather well | 10:21 |
| overrider | Is there a big overhead associated with using an encrypted home directory? I have a Laptop ThinkPad x200 | 10:21 |
| c3l | syn-ack: would that work, as I have no imap or pop access, maedox | 10:21 |
| nucc1 | overrider, been using those for 2 years now. i don't notice much difference. | 10:21 |
| syn-ack | yeah, it uses OWA like maedox said | 10:21 |
| nucc1 | overrider, using a two and half year old hp 6710b. | 10:22 |
| syn-ack | c3l: that was to you | 10:22 |
| ipw2200user | tried truecrypt overrider? | 10:22 |
| overrider | ipw2200user: not as nice as home folder encryption | 10:22 |
| c3l | syn-ack: oh, thaks. how does owa work? | 10:22 |
| overrider | nucc1: do you have your home dir on a seperate partition, or does it not matter? | 10:22 |
| ipw2200user | ok overrider never tried it | 10:22 |
| syn-ack | c3l: It's the Outlook Web Access just thru Evolution | 10:23 |
| nucc1 | overrider, with ubuntu's built-in encryption, it doesn't matter AFAIK, but for LUKS, you need to have home on a separate partition. | 10:23 |
| c3l | syn-ack: :O cool thanks alot | 10:23 |
| syn-ack | install the plugin, answer a few questions and you're good to go | 10:23 |
| Adzy | hello ubuntuners! | 10:23 |
| syn-ack | c3l: Thank maedox as well. :P | 10:23 |
| obi | anybody know how to upgrade the kernel via the live cd? | 10:24 |
| wcs | hi people :D | 10:24 |
| c3l | maedox: thanks alot for your help! :D | 10:24 |
| wcs | o_O | 10:24 |
| wcs | obi: I think that is not posible | 10:24 |
| wcs | obi: you need to upgrade only the kernel?, why you don't use a backported kernel? | 10:25 |
| Adzy | does anyone on know if ubuntu sets a default passwork for root because i never set one, just did a fresh install of 10.04 and it ask's me for one and its not my admin user/pass... ??? | 10:26 |
| jrib | !root | Adzy | 10:26 |
| ubottu | Adzy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:26 |
| obi | how do i backport? | 10:26 |
| jrib | !backport | obi | 10:26 |
| ubottu | obi: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 10:26 |
| geirha | Adzy: What do you write or click on that makes it ask you for the root password? | 10:27 |
| wcs | obi: you most activate the backports repository | 10:27 |
| Adzy | i was trying to put my usb modem drivers into a folder and it said i dont have root access or something like that... | 10:27 |
| wcs | out for a while.... | 10:27 |
| Adzy | and when i tried to run a command like "sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o" its asks me for a passwork.. but its not my login password! | 10:29 |
| jrib | Adzy: read the link ubottu gave you | 10:29 |
| Adzy | im reading it now :D | 10:29 |
| nittypr | i have a problem with ubuntu | 10:29 |
| geirha | Adzy: sudo does ask for your password, not the root password. So that is odd. | 10:29 |
| obi | i can enter grub and pick any of the previous kernels or recovery mode... is this what you mean by backports? | 10:29 |
| Adzy | but is the sudo password supposed to be the one i use to login?? | 10:30 |
| jrib | obi: no, read the link ubottu gave you | 10:30 |
| Katsumi32 | i bought a new laptop and want to ask if ubuntu 10.04 will run on it | 10:31 |
| nittypr | yes | 10:31 |
| maedox | Adzy, yes | 10:31 |
| jrib | Adzy: when you sudo as user X, it requires user X's password | 10:31 |
| nittypr | can someone help me | 10:31 |
| Adzy | well when i do that it give me error message like "sudo: b43-fwcutter: command not found" | 10:31 |
| jrib | !wireless > Adzy | 10:31 |
| ubottu | Adzy, please see my private message | 10:31 |
| Adzy | ok thanks | 10:31 |
| Katsumi32 | its called commodore C64 anyone tried to run ubuntu on it ? | 10:32 |
| jrib | Adzy: that command means what it says, you don't have the b43-fwcutter command. But see ubottu for help with wireless, there may be a better way (for example, check System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers) | 10:32 |
| Adzy | hello katsumi32 :! | 10:32 |
| Katsumi32 | hi adzy:) | 10:32 |
| Adzy | lol still having trouble with my stupid wireless card :D | 10:32 |
| geirha | Adzy: If it was the wrong password, it would ask you two more times and eventually say «sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts» | 10:32 |
| Katsumi32 | adzy what card do you have ? | 10:33 |
| ipw2200user | Adzy I have a Broadcom too I feel your pain | 10:33 |
| Adzy | its telstra usb modem... hang on one sec | 10:33 |
| kalle_ | ubuntu on c64 sounds fun, i have a few of them lying around, anyone tryed to run ubuntu on it ? would need a special port wouldnt it ? | 10:33 |
| Katsumi32 | ipw2200user, broadcom should work | 10:34 |
| pat|nG | hi! why is it that everytime i do update manager i got errors? | 10:34 |
| jrib | pat|nG: you have to tell us the errors, use a pastebin | 10:34 |
| Katsumi32 | kalle_, :) it wont run :) it was a joke sorry :) | 10:34 |
| pat|nG | what's the link for the ubuntu pastebin? | 10:34 |
| pat|nG | thanx | 10:34 |
| Adzy | In-Build Conexant Type 2 modem (COM3) <-- thats what is says in connection details... | 10:34 |
| kalle_ | hehe yeah i guess fitting ubuntu on a 320 kb disk is a strectch, would need some pretty hefty mods in the code i vager | 10:35 |
| ipw2200user | Sorry Katsumi32 wrong device | 10:35 |

| AnAnt | Hello, I need help about some setup, I got an Ubuntu machine in my network that I use as a server, I got bind9 installed on it, and I got a router that runs DHCP, the question is: is it possible to configure the DNS server on Ubuntu to get the hostname,ipaddress pairs ? | 10:41 |
| === dsfas is now known as aum_ | ||
| === matteo is now known as Guest72474 | ||
| ikonia | AnAnt: get the hostname/ip pairs from what | 10:43 |
| === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB | ||
| AnAnt | ikonia: from the router | 10:43 |
| AnAnt | ikonia: the router runs DHCP service | 10:43 |
| ipw2200user | Katsumi - It is a backup thing - I need to backup a 160GB hard disk on the netbook and then I'll simply plug a network cable in, and hopefully ubuntu will sense the broadcom and download the right wireless driver | 10:43 |
| ikonia | AnAnt: does the router provide hostname to IP mapping ? | 10:43 |
| erUSUL | intok: that's hw spaces are encoded in url's | 10:44 |
| AnAnt | ikonia: well, when I look at the router DHCP page, I see hostname & corresponding IP address | 10:44 |
| erUSUL | intok: so seamonky is onply pretty printing it for you | 10:44 |
| ikonia | AnAnt: but you want the hostnames to be put into your local bind server on the your ubuntu machine | 10:45 |

| wieshka | g0th: easy :) | 10:59 |
| obi | cant boot ubuntu. can i boot from live cd, copy my /home folder to an external hd, then do a fresh install of ubuntu and move my files back from the external hd? | 10:59 |
| diverse_izzue | g0th, also, with a right-click on the applet you can disable wireless. does that not survive a reboot? | 10:59 |
| wieshka | g0th: really - just give a wicd a try :) | 10:59 |
| obi | will there be any permissions issues ie. with emails, etc.? | 11:00 |
| diverse_izzue | obi, sure | 11:00 |
| g0th | it does not survive a boot | 11:00 |
| diverse_izzue | obi, you just need to make sure that your user id will be the same under the new install as under the current one | 11:00 |
| g0th | I am trying wicd right now | 11:00 |
| obi | is there an easier to fix my system? | 11:00 |
| diverse_izzue | so your external HDD should have a unix file system which can save attributes like owner, permissions, etc. | 11:00 |
| wieshka | g0th: at first remove network-manager (but if i remeber corectly, it should self remove, while installing wicd) | 11:01 |
| diverse_izzue | obi, there is probably a way to save your system | 11:01 |
| diverse_izzue | what exactly is wrong? | 11:01 |
| Random832 | or just copy it into a giant tar file instead of copying all the files | 11:01 |
| g0th | yeah I removed it | 11:01 |
| obi | diverse_izzue thanks man | 11:01 |
| g0th | (not purge though) | 11:01 |
| obi | problem is it wont boot all of a sudden | 11:01 |
| adrian__ | what is the command in terminal to install a .bin file? | 11:01 |
| Random832 | that'll use the username instead of the userid | 11:01 |
| g0th | I hope it (wicd) will place itself in the kde-panel... | 11:01 |
| diverse_izzue | obi, is your boot manager broken, or does it fail later? | 11:02 |
| Random832 | adrian__: probably you're just supposed to run it - what is the file from? | 11:02 |
| obi | phy0 rt2x00 | 11:02 |

| jrib | antIP: you can create a symlink in the gui, by right clicking on a file that you want to link to and doing "create link" (or something similar). Then copy that file to your home. Or use: ln -s TARGET NAME | 11:13 |
| Adzy | !symlink sudo | 11:13 |

| wieshka | g0th: sorry, no experiecnce with KDE | 11:13 |
| Adzy | !sudo | 11:13 |
| 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 | 11:13 |

| g0th | it belong to the user settings | 11:21 |

| g0th | h4x07: I still have no clue what you are trying to tell me.... | 11:21 |
| ylmf | nothing | 11:22 |
| rwat | trying to rescue a box - starting services doesn't work because of lack of connection to /com/ubuntu/upstart | 11:22 |
| c3l | Diverdude: your host probably closes connection after x minutes of inactivity. you can force unmounting and remounting with sshfs instead of rebooting, sudo umount -l /path/to/mountpoint (-l is for lazy, it ignores everything and just force unmounts) | 11:22 |
| wieshka | the best about wicd is that it uses mii-tool to detect if cable is plugged each 5 secs | 11:22 |
| wieshka | so if you are running wireless | 11:22 |
| wieshka | and plug cable | 11:22 |
| rwat | I assume I need to start upstart but can't see how to do it | 11:22 |
| ylmf | fix you | 11:22 |
| wieshka | it will disconnect wifi and connect cable | 11:22 |
| h4x07 | g0th, ahh nevermind im so very tired and confusing myself | 11:22 |
| c3l | Diverdude: you could probably find some way to send some data each x minutes to keep the connection alive | 11:22 |
| c3l | Diverdude: or if you have admin rights on the remote machine, reconfigere ssh to not automatically close inactive connections after x minutse | 11:23 |
| wieshka | Diverdude: some clients has keep-alive option | 11:23 |
| wieshka | or you have to check server config for timeout | 11:23 |

| antIP | jrib: Using Ubuntu Tweak you can change the default folder locations, thus changing where the directories in home point to. | 11:30 |
| chilli0 | Hello. I have my home folder setup over samba,. and I want it to have some folders that are also being shared over samba in the home directory. I am currently sharing Music and Movies. They are in /media/media and /home/Music and they can't move from there. ( they are being shared to others on the network) I tried a symoblic link but that didn't work it just tried to find the link on my system. | 11:30 |
| jrib | antIP: on a different partition you should use symlinks imo | 11:30 |
| jrib | antIP: if you don't want to bother with ubuntu tweak, the settings are in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 11:31 |
| wieshka | heh little tweak in udev, and my cd rom automaticly ejects inserted disk momentally | 11:32 |
| wieshka | :) | 11:32 |

| jrib | antIP: you would just use the symlink basically. This lets you actually have you Documents in your Home | 11:33 |
| jrib | antIP: so $HOME/Documents --symlink--> /media/some_partition/Documents and you would always interact with that directory as $HOME/Documents | 11:34 |
| Adzy | anyone know why i cant save gtub.cfg when i modify the boot order??? | 11:35 |
| antIP | jrib: Well, you wont really have your documents in your home directory, you'll just have an extra Documents icon (that's just a link) pointing to your documents icon on your secondary drive. Why not just point your default Documents dir to my Documents dir on my secondary drive? It's cleaner, and easier. | 11:35 |
| aliverius | c3l: mplayer comes with no gui deps?? | 11:35 |
| red | hello, I removed my laptop from its dock, now the eth0 interface is still excpeting to be the same MAC \ Device, how do I tell ubuntu to regenerate those configurations? | 11:35 |
| antIP | jrib: Mmm. Maybe I'm not understanding you. | 11:35 |
| jrib | antIP: you keep $HOME/Documents as your documents directory but you replace this existing unused directory with a symlink to /media/other_partition/Documents | 11:36 |
| antIP | jrib: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Home/Documents --> /media/secondary/Documents - It's an easy change in Ubuntu tweak. | 11:36 |
| skumara | i was running rkhunter and i get this warning. Warning: The command '/usr/local/bin/lwp-request' has been replaced by a script: /usr/local/bin/lwp-request: a /usr/bin/perl -w script text executable. Is there a malware in ubuntu? | 11:36 |

| c3l | aliverius: I dont even know if there is a gui for mplayer. but no, the package mplayer is only cli, and the most awesom video player, also great for audio files, but in that case I prefer another interface, cplay for insance (also cli) but mplayer is a must have :) | 11:37 |
| jrib | antIP: that's fine, the disadvantage is you don't have your Documents accessible from $HOME like if you are in a shell or file browser | 11:37 |
| jrib | antIP: that's my opinion, use whatever works for you of course :) | 11:37 |
| antIP | jrib: Mmm. How do you replace it with a symlink. I was under the impression that gnome will recreate the directory on startup? | 11:37 |
| jpds | skumara: /usr/local/bin/lwp-request is not installed by an Ubuntu so it's something from you., | 11:38 |
| jrib | antIP: it will only create it if it doesn't exist already. Just delete the empty $HOME/Documents and then run « ln -s /home/other_partition/Documents ~/Documents » | 11:38 |
| antIP | jrib: well, you may be right. | 11:38 |
| aliverius | c3l: i have used smplayer in the past. it was a fairly good frontend. | 11:38 |
| aliverius | c3l: could mplayer network streams be played by other programs such as vlc? | 11:39 |
| antIP | jrib: Oh, ok. That helps. I didn't know that. | 11:39 |

| tiina | anyone here who could help me with my logitech headset with mic to get function in front | 11:39 |

| littlepenguin | hi is there a possibility of changing horizontal and vertical mouse speed ?? | 12:21 |
| Altreus | pawing | 12:21 |
| redbuck | theadmin: no matter what i do it lockup or freeze up. try to update and it happens, if i plug the power cord in it does the same thing or a usb device in the same thing. when it does i have to push the power button to shut it down because the touchpad and keyboard doesn't respond | 12:22 |
| Altreus | theadmin: I don't see anything for resolution or that key combo | 12:22 |
| theadmin | Altreus: Hm. On the other hand, it might be Compiz who does it. Install CCSM and see | 12:22 |
| IdleOne | Altreus: is it a compiz setting maybe? | 12:23 |
| theadmin | !ccsm | Altreus | 12:23 |
| ubottu | Altreus: 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 | 12:23 |
| Altreus | dosen't seem like compiz because I had to unset it through System -> Monitors | 12:23 |
| Altreus | er with some -> preferences | 12:23 |
| Altreus | I'll have a look-see | 12:23 |
| crawler | littlepenguin: hi, are you using miltiple monitors? | 12:24 |
| kad_ | heys! why i can't change permission while i'm the root : hmod: changing permissions of `main.cf': Read-only file system | 12:24 |
| littlepenguin | yes | 12:24 |
| littlepenguin | @crawler | 12:24 |
| theadmin | kad_: As said, read only filesystem :D Check your fstab for mount preferences | 12:24 |
| littlepenguin | but i need this for gaming so only monitor0 is used | 12:24 |
| kad_ | theadmin, i can't even change the "fstab" | 12:24 |
| littlepenguin | i know that the razor software for win has this feature.. | 12:25 |
| theadmin | kad_: eh... so this is your rootfs, that is, "/"? | 12:25 |
| kad_ | theadmin, how to remove the "erros=remount-ro" from fstab ? | 12:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | kad_, you don't. The "errors=" part should give you a hint, along with the read-only filesystem. | 12:25 |
| Altreus | can't find it in ccsm or gnome's key bindings | 12:25 |
| theadmin | kad_: If so... okay then... 1) reboot into the recovery mode 2) select "root" to get to root shell 3) run "touch /forcefsck" and "reboot" | 12:26 |
| theadmin | kad_: Should perform a scam^W scan of the FS on the boot time | 12:26 |
| crawler | littlepenguin: sorry i can't really help, but have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9397443&postcount=5 | 12:27 |
| theadmin | kad_: If it won't work in recovery mode, I doubt you can do anything at all >_< | 12:27 |
| littlepenguin | @crawler http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Trackpoint but it does not seem to have this option..so i thought some manual added command in xorg.conf woukld solve this | 12:28 |
| kad_ | theadmin, what key do i press to enter recovery mode ? | 12:28 |
| kad_ | theadmin, although when i "reboot", it start automatic scan | 12:28 |
| theadmin | kad_: During boot, hold down the SHIFT key and scroll down to the "recovery mode" entry. For me it looks like "Sabayon GNU/Linux with Linux 2.6.something-sabayon (recovery mode)" should look alike on Ubuntu | 12:29 |
| kad_ | theadmin, thx for the help =) | 12:30 |
| redbuck | i have a compaq presario cq 61-400, with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04.1 installed, everytime i try and do something the laptop locks up tight, or plug the power cord or a usb stick in, it locks up the laptop, when this happen i have no touchpad or keyboard functions. How can i fix this, since i can't update | 12:30 |

| redbuck | i'm dual booting with windows | 12:32 |

| redbuck | sh00p: what is the current kernal beng use in 10.04.1 | 12:33 |
| theadmin | wx9j: traditional zip has nice compression but doesn't preserve permissions. .tbz2 is good enough, too, and does. RARs are good but non-free | 12:34 |
| crawler | wx9j: depends on the data you intend to compress | 12:34 |
| sh00p | i think its 2.6.32 something | 12:34 |
| littlepenguin | error404 this is from remi gallard .i think.. | 12:34 |
| IdleOne | error4o4: This is not the proper channel to ask, but it means " It is by doing anything that we become anybody" | 12:34 |
| wx9j | crawler, mostly home dir not a lot in there, | 12:34 |

| rapage | I want to know how to change resolution b4 I enter in ubuntu as the screen is not visible, I think is the refresh rate being wrong set | 12:39 |
| theadmin | wx9j: well, not sure... in Python it'd be just try: script here; except: print "error" | 12:40 |

| theadmin | juk_: Nah, sorry | 12:50 |
| zulax | theadmin, what is a crunchbang? | 12:50 |
| theadmin | zulax: e.g. "#!/bin/bash" - shows what to run with. Must be at first line | 12:51 |
| perlsyntax | Dr_Willis,Maybe i not doing soething right. | 12:51 |
| zulax | theadmin, sure it is | 12:51 |
| zulax | isnt that a shebang ? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | perlsyntax: you may want to check the forums for your exact make/model of soundblaster card. | 12:51 |

| wieshka | for my PC ? | 12:52 |

| redbuck | sh00p: looking at the synaptic on my laptop, shows I have linux-headers-2.6.32-24 and the next one after those is 2.6.32-305 | 12:52 |
| wieshka | chipset: NVIDIA ION 2 | 12:53 |
| perlsyntax | any ideas? | 12:53 |
| sadiq_ | would removing every file in /var/log/ affect anything in my pc?? most files are over 10 MB in size | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | perlsyntax: the x-fi has been problematic since it came out. Ive never had one of those. | 12:53 |
| theadmin | sadiq_: Should not. | 12:53 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 12:53 |
| wieshka | sadiq_: needed log files will be created again | 12:53 |
| sadiq_ | theadmin, ok..ty | 12:53 |
| wieshka | but they can be problems if folders removed | 12:53 |
| juk_ | theadmin: is there any way around | 12:54 |
| sadiq_ | wieshka, I'll leave the dirs... :) | 12:54 |
| theadmin | sadiq_: Overall: find -type f /var/log -exec rm '{}' \; | 12:54 |
| juk_ | theadmin: i meand something with openssl | 12:54 |
| wieshka | sadiq_: also you can ask google about old log file managment :) | 12:54 |
| sadiq_ | theadmin, ahh...I was goin to gksu nautilus...but your command seems better :) | 12:55 |
| theadmin | juk_: No ideas, sorry | 12:56 |
| sadiq_ | theadmin, hmm... "find: paths must precede expression: /var/log" | 12:56 |
| theadmin | sadiq_: huh, uh... Sorry. find /var/log -type f -exec rm '{}' \; | 12:56 |
| theadmin | That's better :D | 12:57 |
| sadiq_ | theadmin, now it worked :) | 12:57 |
| sadiq_ | should I be worried about theese messages? "wpa_supplicant[1431]: Association request to the driver failed" | 12:59 |
| theadmin | sadiq_: sounds like some wifi thing | 12:59 |
| sadiq_ | theadmin, it is..should I worry about them? | 12:59 |
| theadmin | sadiq_: As for I never used wi-fi, I can't tell :D | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | is wifi working? | 13:00 |
| sadiq_ | Dr_Willis, more or less... Ap is _very_ far away but it works | 13:00 |
| zulax | this is sad, should the crontab be made to execute or it executes automatically? | 13:01 |
| sadiq_ | about the mouse...is there a way to find out the mouse poll rate and/or DPI in use? | 13:02 |
| theadmin | zulax: It executes automatically, generally. Can I see the cron line again? | 13:02 |
| zulax | sure theadmin | 13:02 |
| zulax | 55 * * * * /home/path/sctipt.sh | 13:02 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zulax, if the question is if you should make the script executable, then yes. And shouldn't that be script.sh and not sctipt.sh ? | 13:03 |
| theadmin | zulax: Seems almost right except the "sctipt" :D sctipt is no word | 13:03 |
| zulax | s3r3n1t7, its executable and sorry abt the spelling | 13:03 |
| theadmin | zulax: I mean, is the spelling right inside the crontab itself? That is, do the filenames of real script and the one cron tries to execute match? | 13:04 |
| zulax | i think i found it | 13:04 |
| zulax | its the missing /home | 13:04 |
| zulax | ah! hope that works | 13:04 |
| zulax | i will know it in 2 mins now | 13:05 |
| zulax | 1 min for the crontab | 13:05 |
| obi | is there any way of updating my system via the live cd? | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | obi: the 'alternative' cd - ive heard can work as a update reposuitory. but ive never used it that way | 13:06 |
| devkorcvince | obi: try download alternative cds | 13:06 |
| bazhang | obi, aptoncd, not live cd, unless you mean upgrading | 13:06 |
| devkorcvince | obi: you can update from cd using alternative iso | 13:06 |
| zulax | theadmin, oh no! it doesnt work | 13:06 |
| zulax | ah!!!!!!!!!!1 | 13:06 |
| zulax | 05 * * * * /path/correct/script.sh | 13:07 |

| bazhang | obi, recovery mode | 13:08 |
| obi | but i dont think i have any hardware issues as it was working fine until the other night | 13:09 |
| obi | recovery mode does'nt bring me anywhere new | 13:09 |
| wieshka | hmmmm what about dual view - i have VGA & HDMI | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | zulax: what is this script supposed to do? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | wieshka: thats worked for me on my Nvidia systems. | 13:10 |
| zulax | Dr_Willis, wget a directory, zip it and rename it | 13:10 |
| wieshka | Dr_Willis: testing now | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | wieshka: if a card has 2 monitors out and a tv out. - many can only do 2 of the 3 at one time. | 13:10 |
| zulax | sh /path/script.sh works perfect from terminal | 13:10 |
| zulax | and yes, its chmod +x | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | zulax: could be the script's usng a different PATH or other system variables. when called by a user. vs from cron | 13:11 |
| obi | any ideas? | 13:11 |
| iceroot | zulax: if it is chmod +x you have just use ./path/script.sh | 13:11 |
| zulax | iceroot, i let me confirm | 13:12 |
| iceroot | zulax: and its common not to put .sh on the filename | 13:12 |
| theadmin | iceroot: No need for the . - it points to PWD | 13:12 |
| ouyes | Is there a modbus scan tool under linux? | 13:12 |

| obi | how? | 13:15 |
| theadmin | obi: Download the alternate CD, put it in, choose "Upgrade" in the window which pops up >_< | 13:15 |
| s3r3n1t7 | obi, insert the alternate CD and follow onscreen instructions. | 13:15 |

| beefncheese | any help with getting a terminator to run a command as i open for example archey | 13:37 |
| theadmin | IdleOne: Actually, I _nearly_ gave him the wrong command altogether, wanted to say "equo hop 10.10" lolz... mixing distros in my mind like crazy | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | beefncheese: i seem to recall terminator taking the same options as gnome-terminal does for that. Since it is using gnome-terminal | 13:38 |
| IdleOne | theadmin: heh, well that wouldn't of worked for sure. but seriously, if they need to ask then they shouldn't be running alpha/beta | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | beefncheese: terminator -e vim | 13:38 |
| beefncheese | Dr_Willis, so how would i go about getting the terminal to run the command "archey" as i open it | 13:39 |
| hej | hi, i have installed 10.04.1 on a laptop and want to include it in a win 2008 ADDS... where can i find a guide for this? | 13:39 |

| Dr_Willis | If you want to launch terminator with a program allready running it -> 'terminator -e command' if you want to run custom commands at each shell startup, edit the .bashrc | 13:47 |
| beefncheese | Dr_Willis, its a little script on arch linux that displays computer information etc. it has been ported to ubuntu:) | 13:49 |

| Dr_Willis | Turbolinux: a quick read of teh virtualbox manual/pdf from their homepage expalins how to set it up to access usb devices. Ive rarely needed to do so, add the device in the config settings, then a button/menu at the bottom of the vbox window is all i rember. | 14:12 |
| pat|nG | how can i make a remote desktop? like i want to remote my pc using my laptop? is it possible? my desktop was xp and i got 10.04 lucid | 14:12 |

| Dr_Willis | !vnc | pat|nG | 14:12 |
| ubottu | pat|nG: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: on a local lan. vnc can do that. install vnc viewer on windows. use the gnome-remote desktop feature | 14:13 |
| abhijit | pat|nG, try teamviwer | 14:13 |
| Bo|Su | Yes I can connect, configure and get an ip with an appropriate subnet. I still can get a single packet to ping even the DNS | 14:13 |
| Turbolinux | I will look for it. Thank you for your help. | 14:13 |

| bobstro | Bo|Su: is the ip in the right range? can you compare it to a working (win or linux) machine? | 14:14 |
| bobstro | pat|nG: that's what i use for my work laptop. you have to allow remote access on the XP machine, though home versions may not have it. | 14:14 |
| Bo|Su | yes, its exactly correct. As is the virtual windows machine. I cannot get windows to login, though I do not have a problem with bsd and the same iptables | 14:15 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:50 |
| Roasted_ | Emanon, okay, that helped... not at all. Have any suggestions for a speech to text program? | 15:51 |
| Emanon | ask bestbot? | 15:51 |
| Roasted_ | ... | 15:51 |
| Roasted_ | that's okay, I'll let a few minutes pass and ask again here. thanks. ;) | 15:51 |

| === vktv_user_x2 is now known as nouitfvf | ||
| Emanon | anyways can someone tell me how to alter the resolution of my encryption passphrase entry screen? | 15:58 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: Okay, then with 4GB, you don't need swap space. One way to diagnose is `sudo swapoff -a` and let the computer run overnight. If memory pressure happens, then the OOM killer will wake up, nail some processes, and log it. | 15:59 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: excellent idea, thanks! | 15:59 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: Welcome. | 15:59 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: I am assuming you are using ext3 file system here? | 15:59 |
| erickj92 | Yes | 15:59 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: Was there any error messages during the install ? | 16:00 |
| erickj92 | Well I had to force it to install on my partition instead of the MBR. It went fine after I forced it | 16:00 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: what the...? ok, this system is hurting - gonna reboot it: swapoff: /dev/sdc2: swapoff failed: Cannot allocate memory | 16:00 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: sorry for asking like mad, but I am trying to get a handle of the issue here.... | 16:01 |
| omani | does anyone know how I can reset my Ipod Shuffle? I destroyed the partition table. I can't figure out how I should repartition the device. any ideas? | 16:01 |
| erickj92 | No problem, I'm trying to get an handle on it too :) | 16:01 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: so the install was fine, huh?......hmmmm | 16:01 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: The swapoff command should succeed immediately after a reboot. | 16:01 |
| erickj92 | It was fine, it just wasn't happy that I forced it to install on my sda5 partition | 16:01 |
| ah544li | I am using wubi installer, shall I install it in C drive and of ubuntu OS of how much GB? | 16:01 |
| sid | I have a 2G RAM/ Ubuntu 10.04 32bit. Is it safe to set my swappiness to 0? I don't use video editing/heavyApps. | 16:02 |
| erickj92 | sid: I'd still at least keep 2 GB of swap | 16:02 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: You know what? erickj92? I think there is a problem with even recognising that a partition exists, let alone its file system | 16:03 |
| erickj92 | Psychodelius: It may be worth mentioning that the Windows partition on the same HDD mounts fine | 16:03 |
| sid | erickj92. As a safety measure? I'm a n00b :P | 16:03 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: well it is not window's fault, that's for sure | 16:04 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: but it is very ... interesting ... that with a reported 1g free of memory, I'm getting swapoff failed - cannot allocate memory... | 16:04 |
| erickj92 | Psychodelius: Would you recomend formatting said partition and re-installing Linux as a definate measure? | 16:04 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: sounds like grub problem | 16:04 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: Do you have VMs that automatically start? -- Stop them and run /etc/init.d/vmware stop | 16:05 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: OH! I've got 1.8g of swap in use! that's why I can't swapoff... what! | 16:05 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: no, they don't auto start. | 16:05 |
| Psychodelius | erickj92: sigh, well, might have to....if yo want to redce the dabbling around | 16:05 |
| erickj92 | Psychodelius: What I'd honestly like to do is get rid of Linux on this computer, because i want to sell it. How would I go about getting rid of LInux and sitll being able to boot Windows? | 16:05 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: That means that your system is indeed overcommitted for memory. Did the swapoff command fail immediately after a reboot? | 16:06 |
| erickj92 | I mean, if I delete the partition GRUB will be gone so I won't have a boot-loader | 16:06 |
| dajhorn | sid: Changing the swappiness is safe. You'll probably get the desired result by setting 40 instead of 0. | 16:06 |
| kjcole | Following the LTS instructions for upgrading from Hardy to Lucid, I am left with sources.list containing lucid-proposed. Should those be changed to lucid now that the upgrade has been done? | 16:07 |

| kjcole | BluesKaj: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-proposed main restricted | 16:13 |
| Paddy_NI | florian1, In the repositories | 16:13 |
| kjcole | BluesKaj: and several like it. | 16:13 |
| dajhorn | erickj92: (I caught the tail end of your conversation.) One solution for you could be: 1. Run `grub-install /dev/sda` to put the Linux boot loader on the hard disk. 2. Follow the HOWTO to restore the Windows loader to the grub configuration. | 16:13 |
| erickj92 | ok | 16:13 |
| Kyle__ | I'm not sure if this is an ubuntu issue or not, but I get this occasionaly when booting some of my lab machines and it just sllloowly repeats, never gets past it. Then I reset and 99% of the time its OK. | 16:13 |
| Kyle__ | INFO: task lspci:400 blocked for more than 120 seconds. | 16:13 |
| dajhorn | erickj92: This assumes that you want to boot the computer with GRUB, and that you will keep both Windows and Linux on the disk. | 16:13 |
| Kyle__ | "echo 0> /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | kjcole, ok run this , sudo sed -i 's/lucid-proposed/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:13 |
| Kyle__ | Any ideas? | 16:13 |
| dajhorn | Kyle__: It is a bug in Ubuntu 10.04. If you see this on a production computer, then you need to reboot soon. | 16:14 |
| florian1 | Paddy_NI: and can i still access or install them? they seem to be pretty fast and i've got an old machine. | 16:14 |
| jcrawford | Jordan_U, are you around? I need to know that command again to install all packages that are on my server to my laptop, you executed a !command in the channel that told me what to do but i was not logging :( | 16:14 |
| Kyle__ | dajhorn: I haven't seen it whiel the system is running, only when it's trying to boot. But there are a few clients that become unresponsive and need to be foricly rebooted, but I thought that was a seperate issue. | 16:14 |
| Kyle__ | dajhorn: is there any fix for it? | 16:15 |
| sid | floriani: you can. check-out at gnome-art | 16:15 |
| florian1 | Paddy_NI: or which of the recent ones are fast, do you happen to know? | 16:15 |
| Paddy_NI | florian1, yes but I cannot remember the package name for the life of me | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | kjcole, then sudo apt-get update | 16:15 |
| Psychodelius | dajhorn: that reboot issue raised by Kyle__ do you know what bug number/ | 16:15 |
| dajhorn | Kyle__: Nope, but it has improved with recent lucid kernels on my computers. I usually get it after boot with processes like asterisk that use timers. | 16:15 |
| florian1 | Paddy_NI: thank you for the explanation. | 16:16 |
| dajhorn | Psychodelius: No. I don't know the actual cause. | 16:16 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: still here, just trying to cleanly shut down the vms that I have running on that box. It's seriously hurtin | 16:16 |
| Psychodelius | dajhorn: that is ok. thank you very much | 16:16 |
| dajhorn | Psychodelius: Welcome. | 16:16 |
| Kyle__ | dajhorn: What's the most recent lucid kernel? These are all running 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP | 16:16 |
| incidence | Hi, how can I set my server's language to english but locale (keyboard etc to fi_FI.UTF-8) ? Thanks. | 16:16 |
| kjcole | BluesKaj: Thanks. (Already done. I knew how, I just didn't know if I *should*. Opinion/advice appears to be recommending that I should.) | 16:17 |
| Paddy_NI | florian1, if you open up appearance then choose themes you should be able to click customise and find the appropriate controls and window borders there | 16:17 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: What type of VMs are you running? | 16:17 |
| mbeierl | Kyle__: 10.04 latest kernel is 2.6.32-25 | 16:17 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: I'll have to update then, see if that helps. | 16:17 |
| mbeierl | Kyle__: VMWare workstation, two vms running RH5, 64 bit. One gets 1.5g of ram, the other gets 256m of ram | 16:18 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: Oh. Ugh, that could be painfull. | 16:18 |
| Paddy_NI | florian1, yeah its there | 16:18 |
| mbeierl | Kyle__: it should not be with 4g of ram available to the host os. Problem is that the host ubuntu is reporting 1g free | 16:18 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: I have to admit, one of the reasons I moved to virtualbox was that it's easier to control from the CLI :) | 16:19 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: If VMware put one of those VMs into swap, then you should go for a coffee break. | 16:19 |
| sid | mbeierl: Is 2.6.32-25 on 10.04 LTS updates? | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | kjcole, ok, how does your souces.list look now ? | 16:19 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: hum. With workstation, can you adjust how much memory it shares with other urnning vms and the system? | 16:19 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: If you run the VMware gui as root, then it will expose a preference dialog to limit swap usage. That might help later. | 16:20 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: With the server/esx versions you can tell it to never share, share some, or share all. | 16:20 |
| kalle_ | a | 16:20 |
| Kyle__ | mbeierl: When you tell it to never share, your base OS doesn't get much lovin, but it generally never gets hammered to hell either. | 16:20 |

| coz_ | darren_lgl_d, see if that works for you :) | 16:29 |
| dajhorn | warflyr: No, not easily. A better solution would be to use the special address that dhclient assigns if it cannot get a leased address. | 16:29 |
| coz_ | killer999, debian packageing guide? | 16:29 |
| ah544li | sid: thanks :) but shall i install it in C partition, drive size is 21 GB | 16:29 |
| florian1 | Paddy_NI: now, after trying out the different engine features. | 16:29 |
| darren_lgl_d | coz,thx | 16:29 |
| warflyr | dajhorn ah i wasnt aware dhclient did that, i'll look into it, thanks | 16:30 |
| coz_ | killer999, you mean something like this ? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-debpkg.html | 16:30 |
| erickj92 | Opinionative Question: How many years before PC's come shipping with Linux as the factory default? Like, we see computers at BestBuy laoded with Linux instead of Windows | 16:30 |
| Pici | killer999: Like http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide | 16:30 |

| Antonis | hello. does anyone know of a simple color picker in ubuntu? a simple color dialog where I can pick a color from wherever I want on the screen. and pls don't tell me to open gimp just to use a color picker :P | 16:30 |
| dajhorn | warflyr: Welcome. | 16:30 |
| coz_ | Pici, that is a much better link :) | 16:31 |
| xangua | Antonis: gnome-color-chooser | 16:31 |
| killer999 | thanx for the links | 16:31 |
| Antonis | xangua, thanks! | 16:31 |
| florian1 | Paddy_NI: again thanks, i'm leaving. | 16:32 |
| ouyes | hi all I have a driver problem and need your help , I have a thinkpad t400 and a pcmcia to rs232 card but I can not find its driver under linux | 16:32 |
| florian1 | bye to everyone. | 16:32 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn, Kyle__: just trying the swapoff again now before the reboot to see all of what got pushed out into swap. Never know... | 16:32 |
| MFen | what's the deal with the hotplug stuff? i have an external drive that sometimes gets disconnected (when I suspend my laptop) .. sometimes it gets automatically reconnected and sometimes it doesn't | 16:33 |
| dajhorn | warflyr: The special address range is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx | 16:33 |
| sid | If I install KDE apps in Gnome (or vice versa), will that make my computer slower? I love using Yakuake on gnome. | 16:33 |
| MFen | how do i automatically remount the partitions on that external drive, manually? | 16:33 |
| Paddy_NI | sid, nope | 16:33 |
| Paddy_NI | sid, loading kde apps in gnome requires QT libs to be loaded first but that's nothing | 16:34 |
| MFen | and i don't mean "run mount", i want to run something that just automounts everything, the same way it does when i boot up | 16:34 |
| MFen | there must be a shell script in here somewhere to do that | 16:34 |
| sid | Thanks Paddy_NI. | 16:34 |
| Paddy_NI | sid, btw I use guake on gnome | 16:34 |
| srini | how to configure network installation in ubuntu? | 16:34 |
| sid | I tried guake, but I love Yakuake. | 16:34 |
| Paddy_NI | sid, Yeah its had much more development | 16:35 |
| Paddy_NI | sid, wonderful app | 16:35 |
| warflyr | ouyes ive never had troubles with usb rs232 adapters o.0 | 16:35 |
| ouyes | no it is not a usb but a express card | 16:35 |
| warflyr | i know, im just saying usb one will work ;) | 16:35 |
| jakegub | Can anyone here help solve the issue with the Ubuntu install not recognizing my current hard drive partitioning? | 16:36 |
| warflyr | you see the card under # lspci? | 16:36 |
| Paddy_NI | !details | jakegub | 16:36 |
| ubottu | jakegub: 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 ..." | 16:36 |
| jakegub | I'm on a single hard drive with the normal Windows 7 partition of 100mb in front of the main partition and I have 50GB of unallocated space for my ubuntu install. None of the partiions are recognized during the install process | 16:37 |
| warflyr | jakegub is the disk recognized? | 16:37 |
| ouyes | warflyr, I do not know whether it was recognized | 16:37 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, what shows up in the partition manager? | 16:37 |
| jakegub | yes, it just wants to write over the entire thing | 16:37 |
| Paddy_NI | yikes | 16:38 |
| jakegub | disk utility sees all of the partitions correctly but GParted fails to see any of them. Just the disk itself | 16:38 |
| warflyr | ouyes look for something in lspci to see if anything looks like it may be that rs232 card | 16:38 |
| ah544li | will it be feasible to install ubuntu in C drive, parti | 16:38 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, did you let win7 do its disk check | 16:38 |
| ouyes | warflyr, I think it is 16:00.0 Serial controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OXCB950 Cardbus 16950 UART | 16:38 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, hopefully you do not have any overlapping partitions | 16:38 |
| ouyes | warflyr, but how to know its port name? | 16:39 |
| Paddy_NI | that sure is what it sounds like | 16:39 |
| jakegub | Windows 7 boots up fine, and I've done a fixmbr and fixboot from the Win7 disk | 16:39 |
| sid | ah544li: Yes. But it'll be slower than a clean ubuntu install on an ext4 partition. | 16:39 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, tried doing a chkdsk | 16:39 |
| mgolisch | do you use bitlocker? | 16:39 |
| Paddy_NI | good question mgolisch | 16:40 |
| jakegub | i haven't done a chkdsk. Does it need to be the deep scan or anything like that. I certainly have not manually enabled bitlocker and I don't think it comes enabled by default | 16:40 |
| jakegub | but i'll look into that right now | 16:40 |
| ouyes | warflyr, how to use it ? | 16:40 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: ok, swapoff completed and the two highest RSS processes are gnome-power-manager at 740m and gnome-panel at 370m. this does not appear normal | 16:40 |
| warflyr | ouyes you may want to give "National Instruments PCMCIA-232, PCMCIA-232/2, PCMCIA-232/4" driver a try; its probably in the kernel | 16:40 |
| ah544li | thanks again sid:) U ROCK | 16:40 |
| srini | network installation in ubuntu? like kickstart | 16:40 |
| jakegub | Bit locker is off | 16:40 |
| sid | ah544li: Welcome! | 16:40 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: Yes, that is too high. | 16:40 |
| NTAuthority | HAY GUYS UBUNTU PWNS | 16:40 |
| mgolisch | hm any other encryption stuff? truecrypt? or maybe your gparted lacks efi/gpt support for some reason does fdisk -l list anything in linux? | 16:41 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, How about booting of the livecd then launching gparted and laying out the partitions that way before you use the installer perhaps that is the problem | 16:41 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: k, going to reboot it now. Have no idea how to troubleshoot the power manager problem though. too bad... | 16:41 |
| umc | guys, can you recommend me a player that is easy to use ? like winamp is on windows. I've tried xmms in the past, was satisfied, but I see they only complicated things in xmms2, and rhythm box... maybe I'm retarded, but I have an empty playlist and can't add a folder recursivelly for the life of me... | 16:41 |
| tktiddle | is it possible to connect to a samba share that connected on the LAN from a computer connected to the WAN? | 16:41 |
| slow-motion | bbl | 16:41 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, I have noticed problems with the installer partitioning win7 before | 16:42 |
| ouyes | how to see my network traffic ? it is acting very slow? | 16:42 |
| sid | umc: vlc, audacious. | 16:42 |
| sid | umc: exaile | 16:42 |
| jakegub | Paddy, I have a working Win7 isntallation and gparted doesn't recognize it. Are you suggesting I use gparted to make partions, then reinstall widows, then linux? | 16:42 |
| warflyr | tktiddle safest way is to create an ipsec tunnel; but you may be able to forward a series of ports using ssh | 16:42 |
| umc | thanks sid. I use vlc for movies, not a fan of listening music with it. I'll give the other two a try | 16:42 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, no, what I mean is just seeing if launching GParted on its own would allow you to create the linux partitions you need | 16:43 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: !! Found it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273 and, yes, this pc is plugged into an APC UPS! Woot! | 16:43 |
| mwilliams12201 | HHi, I just bought a dell inspiron mini net book and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix last night; my problem is I cannot get connect to the internet via wired or wireless | 16:43 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, then when installing just select them if they show | 16:43 |
| skelterjohn | hi all - i just installed 10.4 on a machine that had been running 7.4. I have my /home on another disk (that was untouched during the install) and I'm having trouble getting the new install to recognize the old users | 16:43 |
| jakegub | i've opened gparted from the liveCD and it doesn't recognize the partitions. The disk utility sees them though | 16:43 |
| mbeierl | dajhorn: thanks for getting me started down the right path | 16:43 |
| dajhorn | mbeierl: Welcome. | 16:43 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: what disk utility? | 16:43 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, Have you tried a GParted livecd yet? | 16:43 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, its a small download and worth having in your toolkit | 16:44 |
| jakegub | mgolisch, ubuntu has something that may not be called disk utiliyt, but it is similar | 16:44 |
| jakegub | disk manager or soemthing like that | 16:44 |
| tktiddle | warflyr: thansk | 16:44 |
| mgolisch | hm sure yoi started gparted as root? | 16:44 |
| jakegub | oh I have not tried a Gparted liveCD, I was just booting with my ubuntu livecd and using gparted | 16:44 |
| skelterjohn | does anyone know how to tell 10.4 to recognize old users in /home? I tried just adding a user with the same name as one, and it had trouble and aborted | 16:44 |
| jakegub | mgolisch, I have not started gparted as root. Is that only done from the terminal? | 16:45 |
| jimcooncat | tktiddle: port-forwarding samba through ssh is difficult, however ssh does have a "proxy" type setup that's supposed to work. I'd rather just use scp (either with sshfs or WinSCP) | 16:45 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, In terminal type "gksu gparted" | 16:45 |
| dajhorn | skelterjohn: Rename the old home directory. If you don't want to do this for some reason, then you should use the `adduser` program from the terminal. | 16:46 |
| warflyr | jakegub add the 'do not create home' flag | 16:46 |
| warflyr | jakegub or delete the existing home folder | 16:46 |
| mwilliams12201 | Hi, I just bought a dell inspiron mini net book and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix last night; my problem is I cannot get connect to the Internet via wired or wireless | 16:46 |
| jakegub | I'm making a list of everything you all mentioned trying. I appreciate the quick help and I'll be back when I've tried all of this | 16:46 |
| tktiddle | jimcooncat: Im trying to use a ubuntu bos as NAS and be able to access it from wireless | 16:46 |
| === ye_Englishman is now known as timmillwood | ||
| jakegub | Thank you all! | 16:46 |
| Paddy_NI | jakegub, good luck | 16:47 |
| warflyr | mwilliams12201 oh thats because ubuntu is based on linux o.0 | 16:47 |
| mwilliams12201 | ? | 16:47 |
| An_Ony_Moose | how can I use my wacom bamboo pen&touch on ubuntu 10.04? Linuxwacom complains about the X server version being too new, and having xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed doesn't make any difference. | 16:47 |
| aeon-ltd | mwilliams12201: check BIOS first, dell has bios switches for them | 16:47 |
| warflyr | lol | 16:47 |
| mwilliams12201 | okay | 16:47 |
| Paddy_NI | mwilliams12201, Hmm.. what model laptop are you using? | 16:47 |
| mwilliams12201 | that is helpful | 16:47 |
| jimcooncat | tktiddle: bos? maybe box. What are you using as a wireless client, Ubuntu also or Windows? | 16:47 |
| Paddy_NI | mwilliams12201, netbook rather | 16:47 |
| ouyes | waremperor, I write cat /dev/ttyS0 in the terminal but there is nothing | 16:48 |
| Paddy_NI | mwilliams12201, you say wired connection is also not working? | 16:48 |
| skelterjohn | dajhorn, adduser tells me the user already exists - but when i log in i get an authentication failure. has the password hash changed? | 16:48 |
| mwilliams12201 | checking now-bouught it used | 16:48 |
| warflyr | ouyes youve verified that ttyS0 is your pcmcia serial device? | 16:48 |
| karrotx | doeos anyone here have a vanilla ec2 instance? i need something in small with a completely base install | 16:48 |
| bobstro | mwilliams12201: i've got a mini 10. had to use the broadcom STA driver for wireless, but the wired ethernet came right up. | 16:48 |
| ouyes | warflyr, I do not know ,how to verify that? | 16:49 |
| Paddy_NI | mwilliams12201, wired should work are you sure its not a problem with the cable you are using | 16:49 |
| warflyr | ouyes #dmesg |grep ttyS0 | 16:49 |
| dajhorn | skelterjohn: What does `id MyUser` at the terminal say? You may need to unlock the old account and reset the password. | 16:49 |
| mmoebius | ouyes: Serial trouble ? Is your baudrate right ? How'd you set that ? | 16:49 |
| aeon-ltd | mwilliams12201: did you check the bios | 16:49 |
| tktiddle | jimcooncat: Ive got windows client, I was thinking If connecting the LAN and WAN is too hard I could use the ubuntu conputer to share its internet connection and act as an access point with its share available | 16:49 |
| skelterjohn | dajhorn: uid=1001(jasmuth) gid=1001(jasmuth) groups=1001(jasmuth),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(fuse) | 16:49 |
| Emanon | hokay so i need the vga= code for a 16:10 resolution (like vga=799 is 1900x1200) | 16:49 |
| mwilliams12201 | I don't knolw wehat i'm using-10 inch screen | 16:49 |
| karrotx | what is the current ubuntu stable for server? | 16:50 |
| === teddy_ is now known as teddymills | ||
| Emanon | i mean 1600x1200 was 799 | 16:50 |
| mmoebius | ouyes: warflyr: dmesg |grep ttyS <---- you will want to see all possible ttyS devices | 16:50 |
| ouyes | warflyr, mmoebius that is the output [ 0.560542] 0000:00:03.3: ttyS0 at I/O 0x1828 (irq = 17) is a 16550A | 16:50 |
| skelterjohn | dajhorn: I tried a "sudo passwd jasmuth", but that had a problem | 16:50 |
| dajhorn | skelterjohn: `passwd -u jasmuth` and `passwd jasmuth` | 16:50 |
| bobstro | mwilliams12201: do you have a link light on the cabled ethernet port? | 16:50 |
| Emanon | i need one for a 16:10 like 1680x1050 or something | 16:50 |
| sid | karrotx: 10.04 LTS | 16:50 |
| Artemis3 | mwilliams12201, it should say the model on a sticker in the bottom | 16:50 |
| abhijit | !10.04 | karrotx | 16:50 |
| ubottu | karrotx: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | 16:50 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, do "sudo apt-get install hwinfo" | 16:51 |
| skelterjohn | dajhorn: thanks for your help - I got the user working. now to do it for the 20 other users on this machine.... | 16:51 |
| jimcooncat | tktiddle: you'd keep it simple to use openssh-server on your Ubuntu box and WinSCP on your windows client. Many many other alternatives exist though. | 16:51 |
| Emanon | thanks paddy | 16:51 |
| mwilliams12201 | duh! inspiron mini 10 | 16:51 |
| bobstro | jimcooncat:, tktiddle: sshfs perhaps? | 16:51 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, then "sudo hwinfo --framebuffer" | 16:51 |
| dajhorn | skelterjohn: Welcome. | 16:51 |
| mwilliams12201 | I am in BIOS | 16:51 |
| bobstro | mwilliams12201: same as mine then. wired should work fine. | 16:52 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, this will give you available modes | 16:52 |
| ouyes | mmoebius, I do not know whether my computer recognized my card | 16:52 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | Trying to learn how to use command line and ftp, I just followed the ftp server install help documentation and it works but when I log in with my admin user everything says "permission denied" | 16:52 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, no probs let me know how it goes | 16:52 |
| jimcooncat | tktiddle, bobstro; there's a windows client called Dokan sshfs that looks interesting, but I haven't tried it | 16:52 |
| aeon-ltd | mwilliams12201: check all the network options, or anything wireless switch related | 16:52 |
| ouyes | mmoebius, and which ttySx is in use | 16:52 |
| mmoebius | ouyes: Try the dmesg | grep ttyS thing i suggested. Let's first make sure there is no other serial port | 16:52 |
| mwilliams12201 | I could not get it to work-it showed the connection, but booted me before I could use it | 16:52 |
| mmoebius | mmoebius: What do you have attached to the port ? | 16:52 |
| mmoebius | ouyes: What do you have attached to the port ? | 16:53 |
| ouyes | mmoebius, nothing | 16:53 |
| mwilliams12201 | not sure what i am looking for | 16:53 |
| mmoebius | ouyes: then, what do you want to do with the port ? | 16:53 |
| aeon-ltd | mwilliams12201: anythuing network related | 16:53 |
| mwilliams12201 | eveerything is enabled | 16:54 |
| aeon-ltd | mwilliams12201: ok, did you have to change aything? | 16:54 |
| mwilliams12201 | not in BIOS | 16:54 |
| mwilliams12201 | BTW, internet works fine in windows | 16:54 |
| ouyes | mmoebius, scan data from a device using rs-485 interface and modbus rtu protocol | 16:54 |
| mmoebius | maybe the card is ttyS1 --- a 16C590 would be more typical for a recent PCMCIA or PCI-Express serial card | 16:54 |
| sid | mwilliams: can you ping your router? "ping -c 2 192.168.1.1" | 16:54 |
| warflyr | mwilliams12201 get to a root shell; ifconfig -a && iwconfig; you see your interfaces? | 16:55 |
| Emanon | rebooting again hope the resolution is right this time | 16:55 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, cool | 16:55 |
| warflyr | ouyes curiosity, what devices you working with? data loggers? | 16:56 |
| warflyr | control system devices? | 16:56 |
| pat|nG | hi! is it possible to backup my win7 from my vbox ubuntu 10.04? i mean....i'll use my ubuntu 10.04 lucid to back up my win7? is it possible? | 16:56 |
| tktiddle | jimcooncat: sshfs seems to working fine with a linux client, Its pretty slow, i guess this is to be expected. | 16:57 |
| bobstro | mwilliams12201: sorry if you responded before, didn't see it if so - do you have a link light on the wired port? | 16:57 |
| qwert | pat|nG: Yes | 16:57 |
| pat|nG | qwert: dude how? | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: clarify what you mean.. You are running Windows7, thats running virtualbox - and VBOX is running ubuntu? | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tktiddle: sshfs is a bit slower due to the overhead then samba, or ftp, or nfs. | 16:58 |
| jimcooncat | tktiddle: you probably are encrypting with WEP, and then encrypting again with ssh. If you can figure how to change your SSH cipher to blowfish you should increase your speed | 16:58 |
| qwert | !details| pat|nG | 16:58 |
| Paddy_NI | A virtual machine within a virtual machine | 16:58 |
| ubottu | pat|nG: 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 ..." | 16:58 |
| sid | I wonder why I used Windows all these years! Ubuntu rocks. :) | 16:58 |
| An_Ony_Moose | how can I use my wacom bamboo pen&touch on ubuntu 10.04? Linuxwacom complains about the X server version being too new, and having xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed doesn't make any difference. | 16:58 |
| jon_ | hello | 16:59 |
| aeon-ltd | sid: yeah, if you've got a good cpu and gpu for flash to work fine and no proprietry devices like ipods, windows seems kinda crappy | 16:59 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, Joy? | 17:00 |
| Emanon | ok Paddy_NI it said my mode was deprecated and suggested a new one there is no way im going to remember during boot | 17:00 |
| Emanon | and didnt work | 17:00 |
| Paddy_NI | :-( | 17:00 |
| mwilliams12201 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/494824/ | 17:00 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, Have you tried throwing raw minced steak at it? | 17:01 |
| mbeierl | An_Ony_Moose: I hate to admit it, but my experience with wacom bamboo has been quite unsupported on Linux. Last I tried (9.10) I had to download and compile software to make it work at all | 17:01 |
| Emanon | said that vga=0x0369 is deprecated and suggested a lower res (but proper aspect ratio i think) in a different format | 17:01 |
| Paddy_NI | gah | 17:01 |
| pat|nG | ubotto: i'm using ubuntu 10.04 lucid under vbox....and i want to make back up using my ubuntu distro...is it possible? | 17:01 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, what gfx card is it? | 17:01 |
| Emanon | no but i tried praying to cthulhu and sacrificing some small children | 17:02 |
| Paddy_NI | lol | 17:02 |
| Emanon | nvidia 8800 | 17:02 |
| Emanon | gt i think | 17:02 |
| An_Ony_Moose | mbeierl, linuxwacom (I compiled it manually too) worked perfectly | 17:02 |
| Paddy_NI | okay give me a sec or two | 17:02 |
| Emanon | thank you | 17:02 |
| An_Ony_Moose | but now it's complaining about a newer X server version | 17:02 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | I've set up my ftp server on ubuntu 10.04 but can't actually edit anything with my main account. help? | 17:02 |
| Artemis3 | Emanon, why do you need to set the framebuffer for anyway? i have that card and didnt touch it, and my screen is a 16:10 1680x1050 | 17:02 |
| DagoRed | pat|nG: Just back up (when not having ubuntu running in vbox) the vdi file. Back that up and you're fine. | 17:02 |
| sid | Which is the best iTunes alternative on Ubuntu? I've tried gtkpod. | 17:02 |
| Emanon | Artemis3: the res once im booted is fine i just have the wrong res DURING boot | 17:03 |
| royalty | hey, I'm new to upstart. I've defined a custom job as found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/494825/ I'd like to specify the user to run the program (styx.python ...) - is this possible with the exec stanza? | 17:03 |
| Emanon | like on my encryption passphrase screen | 17:03 |
| mbeierl | An_Ony_Moose: my bamboo is in a drawer at home now, I apologize for getting hopes up, but I have not looked at it in a couple of months now... | 17:03 |
| Emanon | and such | 17:03 |
| An_Ony_Moose | mbeierl, no problem :) | 17:03 |
| Paddy_NI | hey Emanon check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480905 | 17:03 |
| Artemis3 | Emanon, can you just set your monitor to stretch it? its not like it really matters... | 17:03 |
| mwilliams12201 | I ran ifconfig command in root terminal, here is the pastebin URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/494824/ | 17:03 |
| Emanon | no i can't and if i could it does kind of matter i can enter passphrase fine as it is now but it looks crappy | 17:04 |
| warflyr | mwilliams12201; try typing # dhclient eth0 | 17:04 |
| jcrawford | is there any way to get the trackpad on a macbook pro to work with Ubuntu? I mean two fingers to scroll down the pages etc. | 17:04 |
| warflyr | assuming yo uhave your cable connected | 17:04 |
| Artemis3 | Emanon, ah, you mean at login? thats not framebuffer but GDM, check xorg.conf | 17:04 |
| mbeierl | Emanon: sorry - just jumping in late here: you've got an extremely low resolution during plymouth and that's when it's asking for the passphrase? | 17:05 |
| Emanon | yes mbeierl | 17:05 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, the Nomodeset option have you tried that? | 17:05 |
| Emanon | and no Artemis3 not at login at hard disk decrypt | 17:05 |
| mgolisch | jcrawford: does it work at all for you? its totaly unusable for me, it jumps around and right/left click doesnt realy work reliably, i resorted to just hook up my magic mouse instead of using the touchpad | 17:05 |
| aeon-ltd | jcrawford: depends what version on MBP but its possible https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook%20Aluminum#Trackpad | 17:05 |
| Emanon | ill give it a try Paddy_NI | 17:05 |
| aeon-ltd | jcrawford: thats for the aluminium version | 17:05 |
| mwilliams12201 | I would have to go into other room to connect caable | 17:06 |
| mbeierl | Emanon: and that started when you went nvidia proprietary. Same here and I read / saw / ? somewhere about the resolution during boot being way off after nvidia proprietary and for the life of me cannot find where | 17:06 |
| Artemis3 | Emanon, ah get it... if all else fails, you can always disable fb removing the vga= line so you can at least see the prompt ^^' | 17:06 |
| mwilliams12201 | afk | 17:06 |
| mbeierl | I just keep ignoring it as I don't boot often | 17:06 |
| Emanon | well ive found some fixes that involve editing grub configs but they dont work for me | 17:06 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, the Nomodeset one seems simple | 17:07 |
| Emanon | i can see the prompt just fine and i dont need to i can type my passphrase fine it just looks like it came out of my butt | 17:07 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, according to that forum post | 17:07 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, lol | 17:07 |
| Paddy_NI | that's a fancy gfx card | 17:07 |
| mbeierl | Emanon: it might be this puppy: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html | 17:08 |
| Emanon | Paddy_NI: you know if i can do that in the grub configs instead of at boot? | 17:08 |
| Emanon | tried that one mbeierl | 17:08 |
| tktiddle | Hmmm Ive mounted a ftp folder on my machine but I cant paly any media off it, should I be able to play mp3s off a ftp mounted file system? | 17:08 |
| Emanon | and the comment it links to at the bottom too | 17:08 |
| mbeierl | Emanon: and this? http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ | 17:08 |
| juk | hi, I writing gmail check daemon it stores password in random openssl generated encrypted file, the problem is when it restarts we don't know in which algo pass file ecnrypted, so can't decrypt, any ideas? | 17:08 |
| Paddy_NI | hmm EmanonI dont really know but I would imagine that ultimately it would have to be done in a grub config file so that it will stick and you do not have to do it each time you boot | 17:08 |
| * Booby www.gaul.co ==>> free nulled script for you... | 17:09 | |
| jcrawford | ah i found it in the pref pane under mouse | 17:09 |
| jcrawford | seems to work just fine for me | 17:09 |
| jcrawford | does not jump around for me but i have a MBP 3,1 | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Emanon: check /etc/default/grub | 17:09 |
| Paddy_NI | cheers Dr_Willis | 17:09 |
| Emanon | anyone know if i can just turn off the prop driver during boot since the non prop worked just fine for this part i just need the prop for compiz and whatnot? | 17:10 |
| warflyr | Emanon, easiest way, assuming its a module, is to move the module out of the modules folder | 17:10 |
| aeon-ltd | Emanon: i gotta say, the open source drivers aren't much different if not crapper than the proprietry ones for both nvidia and ati | 17:10 |
| Emanon | this part http://paste.ubuntu.com/494832/ ? | 17:11 |
| jcrawford | oh yea thats another question since I have rEFIt doing my bootloading how can i get rid of the grub bootloader? | 17:11 |

| Artemis3 | Emanon, you mean edited /etc/default/grub then grub-update and didn't work? | 17:12 |
| Emanon | it just didnt change anything | 17:12 |
| jcrawford | mgolisch, yes exactly how do i do that? | 17:12 |
| warflyr | jcrawford yeah theres a way to prevent modules from autoloading; i dont remember, /etc/modprobe or something | 17:12 |
| Emanon | it still works precicely how crappy it worked before | 17:12 |
| tishammer | when i boot my latest ubuntu, i don't see that grub menu. i'd like to boot with the newly installed linux-rt | 17:12 |
| Emanon | i didnt lose any functionality (other than what i lost by installing the prop driver) | 17:12 |

| juk | hi, I'm writing gmail check daemon it stores password in random openssl generated encrypted file, the problem is when it restarts we don't know in which algo pass file was ecnrypted, so can't decrypt, any ideas? | 17:13 |
| mgolisch | jcrawford: what ubuntu do you use? | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Emanon: you did run 'sudo update-grub' after altering the file? (i forget to do that sometimes) | 17:13 |
| jcrawford | 10.04 | 17:13 |
| Emanon | yes Dr_Willis | 17:13 |
| jcrawford | i just checked for /boot/grub/menu.lst but that file does not exist | 17:13 |
| Paddy_NI | jcrawford, thats old grub | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: check the grub2 docs. :) its /boot/grub/grub.cfg now. and you dont edit that file by hand. | 17:14 |
| jcrawford | ah ok thanks Dr_Willis | 17:14 |
| Booby | www.gaul.co pls join to my forum | 17:14 |
| Artemis3 | hey jcrawford just edit /etc/default/grub then sudo grub-update | 17:14 |
| pfifo | A time traveler just appeared in my front yard, he had a copy of 19.04 LiveCD on him, anyone want? | 17:14 |
| mgolisch | change GRUB_TIMEOUT | 17:15 |
| mgolisch | think the default is 10 | 17:15 |
| bobstro | pfifo: is everything still brown? | 17:15 |
| Emanon | Here is my current /etc/default/grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/494835/ | 17:15 |
| Emanon | And here is my /etc/grub.d/00_header http://paste.ubuntu.com/494837/ | 17:15 |
| Artemis3 | its 30 ^^' | 17:15 |
| Emanon | in case anyone wants to review precicely what is going on in there | 17:16 |
| Artemis3 | but it will usually hide if there are no other OSes | 17:16 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, I still say do the Nomodeset option | 17:16 |
| HACKhalo2 | ok, quick question | 17:16 |
| pfifo | bobstro, its built in AI read my mind and made everything my favorite color | 17:16 |
| HACKhalo2 | where is xorg.conf located at? | 17:16 |
| karlo | how to put LMMS full screen | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Emanon: im not even sure what yout original problem is/was :) | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | HACKhalo2: IF it exists - /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:16 |
| HACKhalo2 | thank you | 17:17 |
| Paddy_NI | HACKhalo2, xorg.conf is depreciated it is most likely not on your system | 17:17 |
| Emanon | encryption passphrase entry screen at boot is wrong resolution after installing nvidia proprietary driver Dr_Willis | 17:17 |
| Verminator | what is all this "NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ! ALL HAIL THE AUTISTIC LORD OF FREENODE!!" about? | 17:17 |
| Emanon | trolls Verminator | 17:17 |
| HACKhalo2 | I just found my old ubuntu 9.10 install and the ATi drivers cause my system to hang | 17:17 |
| bobstro | pfifo: that wouldn't be ubuntu then. you should not be able to change any colors or appearance features. | 17:17 |
| Artemis3 | Emanon, how about commenting out thet VGA option which doesnt work, and maybe try 1024x768 at that GFXMODE line, just too see if it improve things? | 17:17 |
| Emanon | in grub or 00_header? | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Emanon: thats a plymouth issue i belive. Ive seen dozens of possible fix's for it.. but never really looked into them. | 17:18 |
| Verminator | Emanon, thx, this msg appears rather frequently, whats the deal, do these folks not get banned or do they just keep getting new accounts or what? | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Emanon: you proberly dont need to edit the 00_header file at all. just set the proepr stuff in /etc/default/grub | 17:18 |
| Emanon | no idea Verminator | 17:19 |
| tishammer | !grub | 17:19 |
| ubottu | 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. | 17:19 |

| Verminator | Emanon, thx again | 17:19 |
| tishammer | !grub2 | 17:19 |
| Emanon | i have edited the 00_header hehe so i might as well edit it back if it does nothing | 17:19 |
| Artemis3 | Emanon, /etc/default/grub then sudo grub-update as normal, the other one is overwritten i believe | 17:19 |
| Paddy_NI | Emanon, Have you seen this http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml | 17:19 |

| Dr_Willis | Emanon: on a good note. ive not seen near the issues with nvidia and plymouth in 10.10 :) | 17:22 |
| jcrawford | seems configuring grub will take quite a bit of time, i will work on this later :) | 17:22 |
| jcrawford | for now I will live with the grub menu and hitting enter twice lol | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: set the timeout to be like 2 sec. | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | :) and go get a soda | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: i got a weird old machine.. it takes it like 120 sec to get to the GRUB menu from powerup.. not sure what the deal is.. could be the 8 hard drives... | 17:24 |

| Dr_Willis | tahts the same box that Grub menu dosent work unless i use a ps2 keyboard. | 17:24 |
| Paddy_NI | Dr_Willis, well I guess these things take time to settle in.. just look at how pulseaudio was :-/ | 17:24 |
| th0r | CT1: aptoncd | 17:25 |
| jcrawford | i would rather hide it but hiding it wont work since the probe will find other OS's i will have to modify files in order to hide it like i want: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 | 17:25 |
| Fraxtil | How can I change ubuntu server's terminal resolution? It's 80x24 chars now, but that looks terrible on a 1024x768 monitor | 17:25 |

| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: you can disable the os_probe script and just make your own custome entries in the 40_custome | 17:25 |
| mbeierl | Paddy_NI: thanks - That's the howto I recall reading and have been trying to find again! | 17:26 |
| warflyr | Fraxtil its a boot command you can specify in grub/lilo | 17:26 |
| CT1 | th0r: Thankyou. I'll get googling. Although I think I cleared the apt cache a week ago... :( | 17:26 |
| Paddy_NI | mbeierl, cool | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | jcrawford: i let it probe once.. then copied the proper lines from the grub.cfg into the 40_custome and altered them how i wanted. then disabled the osprober script. :) | 17:26 |
| th0r | CT1: and now you know why that may have not been the best idea <smile> | 17:26 |
| warflyr | Fraxtil vga=0x73 or something, i dont remember, its been a long time | 17:26 |

| SoulShadow | i still can't even get 10.10 to boot in a VM | 17:26 |
| SoulShadow | lol | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | I think the vga= option is no longer valid with grub2 | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Fraxtil: theres also the 'fbset' command that can change the framebuffer consoles settings on the fly. | 17:27 |
| Calinou | uhuh, epic fail of freenode bot | 17:27 |
| CT1 | th0r: Lesson learned. Thanks for the help. I'll read up and find some way to do it now you pointed me in the right direction. | 17:27 |

| Dr_Willis | personally i perfer the normal 'old fashoned' text mode. The framebuffer is a bit laggy. | 17:29 |
| warflyr | Fraxtil, what version of ubuntu? | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Fraxtil: on a server install it could be you need to load the framebuffer modules for your card | 17:30 |
| Paddy_NI | Dr_Willis, wish there was a simple way of enabling text mode | 17:30 |
| CT1 | Paddy_NI: Thanks. I'll read up on that. | 17:30 |

| Yautja_Cetanu | Dr_Willis: Thanks for responding! I was getting lonely. I've followed all the docs on ftp and got it installed but now I can only view files not edit or create new. I'm assuming its a simple permissions/security thing but the docs say nothing | 17:37 |
| ah544li | I have a ubuntu 10.04 image file, can my wubi installer install that one instead of downloading another iso image during installation? | 17:38 |
| atoi | If I want to install a .deb package, what's the best way to do that? Is there a way to do it with aptitude so everything is consistent? Should I just use apt? | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Yautja_Cetanu: they proberly assume you know the basics of linux permissins. :) | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | 17:38 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 17:38 |
| warflyr | DFM edit /etc/network/interfaces; add: auto eth0\n iface eth0 inet dhcp | 17:38 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | Dr_Willis: will read it and come back | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | atoi: sudo dpkg -i foo.deb, or 'sudo gdebi foo.deb' is what i normally do. | 17:38 |
| warflyr | DFM them /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:38 |
| atoi | k | 17:38 |
| Ben^ | Hey | 17:38 |
| atoi | the RabbitMQ server package on Lucid is woefully out of date. | 17:38 |
| atoi | so I have to manually install | 17:39 |
| Ben^ | Who here is familiar with the swappiness kernel tuning parameter ? | 17:39 |
| Emanon | incidentally i like swap files over partitions too, its nice to be able to manage that kind of thing on the fly | 17:39 |
| DFM | warflyr: I tried editing the interfaces as suggested but it didn't work and I did restart the interface after making the change. | 17:41 |
| Emanon | Ben^: http://n00bsonubuntu.com/ubuntu/swappiness ? | 17:41 |
| avinashhm | hi, on changing /etc/sudoers using sudo visudo , is there anyway i can get the changes working without rebooting ..?? | 17:41 |
| === Prof_BiG_BanG is now known as prof_away | ||
| avinashhm | any export command ?? | 17:41 |
| DFM | I will try the dhclient as suggested and get back to you. Thanks. | 17:41 |
| subspider | i don't have wpa enterprise option when creatting a wireless conection can someone help ?? | 17:41 |
| Paddy_NI | Dr_Willis, Emanon chat to you later got a bus to catch.. involuntary cricket pub quiz at 19:00.. I detest cricket :-( | 17:43 |
| Paddy_NI | bye | 17:43 |
| Emanon | bye bud good luck | 17:43 |
| Emanon | heading out myself bye all | 17:43 |
| Ben^ | Well, anyway - to those who are aware of swappiness you may be able to point me in the right direction: | 17:44 |
| Ben^ | I've been playing with my swappiness kernel param. I find it good for the most part to have it quite high - even at 100. However, one or two processes I would like to swap less and keep more in resident memory. | 17:44 |
| Ben^ | Is there any way to do that? Sort of like a renice for swappiness by process ? | 17:45 |
| azi` | i have pluged my monitor into my laptop to use them both now the taskbar/applications are shown only on the primary laptop window.. is there any way to make the "primary" window the one on the external monitor? | 17:45 |
| Artemis3 | Ben^, can't say much, since i love not using swap at all ^^ | 17:45 |
| fresonee | my tomcat can't startup,who know how to resolve it ? thanks | 17:46 |
| Soshi_Toru | Is this the correct place for ubuntu-install issues/qusetions? | 17:46 |
| th0r | azi`: that is usually a function key on the laptop | 17:46 |
| Ben^ | Artemis3, how much ram you got ? | 17:46 |
| Artemis3 | Soshi_Toru, yes ask away | 17:46 |
| azi` | th0r: right thank you | 17:46 |
| Artemis3 | Ben^, 2g on the netbook, 4g on the desktop | 17:46 |
| Ben^ | Lol, I'd never run with no swap on that little mem | 17:47 |
| pat|nG | hi! if i try to use the sudo apt-get upgrade does it mean that my 10.04 lucid will be change completely? into something 10.04.1? | 17:47 |
| Ben^ | Memory is mean't to be free ! | 17:47 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: the latest release is 10.04.1 yes. | 17:47 |
| pat|nG | is it stable now? | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: see what 'lsb_release -a' says | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: its proberly waht you are using anyway.. and never noticed it | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: 10.10 is the NEXT release due out in 25 days. its in beta testing | 17:48 |
| pat|nG | wow | 17:48 |
| pat|nG | i got it | 17:48 |
| pat|nG | i'm having more problems on this distro | 17:49 |
| pat|nG | wew | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | I seem to have less and less problems with every release. | 17:49 |
| pat|nG | mostly from this i just tried to install vlc...but i failed i can't get the updates | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: i just cheat and use 'ubuntu-tweak' and let it add the extra ppa repos i need for latest vlc and so forth. | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 17:50 |
| * Dr_Willis is lazy | 17:50 | |
| pat|nG | hahaha | 17:50 |
| pat|nG | i got the ubuntu-tweaks too | 17:50 |
| pat|nG | but i just want to learn installin usin terminals | 17:50 |
| pat|nG | hehehe | 17:50 |
| pat|nG | next time | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !info vlc | 17:50 |
| ubottu | vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.2 (lucid), package size 1598 kB, installed size 3792 kB | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc is in the universe repo. shouldebnt be too hard to install | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. I dont even see vlc in the ubuntu-tweak ppa listing any more.. there was a vlc ppa that shut down a few weeks back | 17:52 |
| Katsumi32 | or vlc 1.1.4 from ppa | 17:52 |
| pat|nG | do i have to check all of this? | 17:52 |
| Soshi_Toru | Computer is a Toshiba, slightly dated, currently running vista x32. I have attempted to install ubuntu 10.4 from both CD (tested used self-test on CD) and flash-drive install. in both cases, it goes to the ubuntu working red dots screens, then eventually to a black screen /w white _ cursor and sits forever. I do know that it will run ubuntu since the Wub installed copy works fine. | 17:52 |
| Soshi_Toru | any thoughts/ | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: check 'all of what' ? | 17:52 |
| pat|nG | the boxes from synaptic package manager? | 17:52 |
| zeleftikam | Need some help networking. Ubuntu 10.04 Server on a machine with a Realtek RTL8111DL Gigabit ethernet controller. The machine links up at 100 and not 1000. Help? | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: all what box's ? | 17:53 |
| aeon-ltd | Soshi_Toru: 32bit ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| Soshi_Toru | Aeon-ltd, yes | 17:53 |
| Katsumi32 | Soshi_Toru, this one is the best to create ubuntu live usb http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/using-lili.html | 17:53 |
| pat|nG | now it's ok | 17:54 |
| pat|nG | i installed it | 17:54 |
| Soshi_Toru | Katsumi32, I tried to say that, I did do that | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | I had issues with 'lili' :) | 17:54 |
| pat|nG | but getting the ppa errors | 17:54 |
| Soshi_Toru | Katsumi32: no change in symptoms | 17:54 |
| Katsumi32 | Soshi_Toru, did you use lili ? | 17:54 |
| pat|nG | does it still work even gettin the ppa errors? | 17:54 |
| aeon-ltd | Soshi_Toru: finished full install including boot loader? | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: it could be that ppa was the one that closed down. or some other ppa thats shut down. | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: did it install? if so it worked.. | 17:54 |
| pat|nG | yup | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: run 'vlc' and see if it works | 17:55 |
| pat|nG | done installing but gettin lots of failed due to the ppa down as u've said | 17:55 |
| pat|nG | hehe | 17:55 |
| pat|nG | i'll try | 17:55 |
| pipegeek | sriracha is delicious | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: ppa's are for specific apps normally | 17:55 |
| Soshi_Toru | aeon-ltd:I do not know, it went into what I would describe as a | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: its best to keep the # of ppa's used to a minimum. (and yes i must have 20+ added on my one machine) | 17:56 |
| Soshi_Toru | aeon-ltd:I do not know, it went into what I would describe as a working screen, going into the install, I don't believe it finishes | 17:56 |
| aeon-ltd | Soshi_Toru: hmm, how space dd you give ubuntu for its / partition? | 17:57 |
| pat|nG | i just installed it but i can't find the application of vlc | 17:57 |
| pat|nG | it's not there | 17:57 |
| pat|nG | wew | 17:57 |
| pat|nG | creepy | 17:57 |
| FloodBot3 | pat|nG: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: run it from a terminal... | 17:57 |
| frogmanbatfish | I have run lvextend to try to resize a partition. According to lvdisplay this seems to have worked, but du shows the old size still, even after a reboot. How can I fix that? | 17:57 |
| pipegeek | frogmanbatfish: you also need to grow the filesystem | 17:57 |
| frogmanbatfish | pipegeek: aha. how's that done? | 17:58 |
| pipegeek | you don't have to unmount it to do this if its' ext3 | 17:58 |
| frogmanbatfish | pipegeek: it's ext4 | 17:58 |
| pipegeek | just do: resize2fs /dev/mapper/blortvg-bleeplv | 17:58 |
| Soshi_Toru | aeon-ltd: the wubi partition is 30gb, but for the CD/USB installs I'm looking for a full just-unbutu computer, | 17:58 |
| pipegeek | frogmanbatfish: ext4 should work too. See my comment above; forgot to direct it to you. | 17:58 |
| Gintulis | o taip | 17:58 |
| frogmanbatfish | pipegeek: thanks! reading the man page now... | 17:59 |
| pipegeek | cool | 17:59 |
| pat|nG | oh forget it bro...i'm too lazy today for just vlc | 17:59 |
| pat|nG | grrr | 17:59 |
| dbu_ | Hi, I am trying to install the pae kernel to move my 64 bit server to 32 bit, but it is not available from apt-get? Does anyone know how to do this without reinstalling a 32bit version of ubuntu? | 18:00 |
| pipegeek | frogmanbatfish: if you run it without options, it'll automatically try to grow it to the size of the underlying device, which is what you want | 18:00 |
| vagvaf | hello people, how can i watch the text info of the booting process instead of the ubuntu screen? | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: too lazy to just type 'vlc' in a terminal ? :) | 18:00 |
| pipegeek | vagvaf: do Ctrl-Alt-F1 during boot | 18:00 |
| pipegeek | I b'lieve | 18:01 |
| Katsumi32 | pat|nG, if you want latest vlc with all libraries etc add this to software source ppa:lucid-bleed/lucidbleed-exp if you didnt try it yet | 18:01 |
| vagvaf | pipegeek: can i 'pause' the boot with pause/break key as well ? | 18:01 |
| pipegeek | or you can boot pass the option "nosplash" to the kernel at boot | 18:01 |
| zoopp | hey..can someone tell me if it's safe to remove network manager when using 'pppoeconf' to connect to internet? | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | there can be some nasty issues pop up with some PPA's :) so its best to be carefull. | 18:01 |
| xer00 | I opened a vimeo video i FF, and it froze. I shut down FF, but the sound is still playing! Wth ... what do I do now? | 18:01 |
| pipegeek | vagvaf: and I believe so, but I'm not sure how upstart reacts to that | 18:01 |
| pipegeek | haven't tried | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: it would be safest to leave it alone. | 18:02 |
| aeon-ltd | Soshi_Toru: md5 sum check the isos, use a fresh disk, or format the usb stick before writing | 18:02 |
| vagvaf | pipegeek: i'll tell you when i log in again :P | 18:02 |
| vagvaf | thanks | 18:02 |
| pipegeek | heh | 18:02 |
| pipegeek | np | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 18:02 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: the thing is ..the system i'm running Ubuntu from is very old..i've read somewhere if i uninstall it i might get a small boost | 18:02 |
| frogmanbatfish | pipegeek: cool, worked like a dream :-) | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: i doubt if you will. | 18:03 |
| frogmanbatfish | pipegeek: thanks again | 18:03 |
| tacomaster | does anyone know what package the command net-setup comes from? | 18:03 |
| === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux | ||
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: you would get more of a boost by using a minimal windoww manager, and a smaller file manager | 18:03 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: worst thing that can happen is to lose connection to internet right? | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: and how to you reinstall the program if you need to? | 18:03 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: i could download the packages and keep the safe somewhere..right? | 18:04 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: safe* | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: and you wouldent be sure you had them all downloaded untill you needed them... | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | You could paint yourself into a corner real fast. :) | 18:04 |
| Soshi_Toru | aeon-ltd; I did reburn and rewrite both the usb and the CD, I don't want to reformat the hdd yet prior to install since I don't have a copy of vista to install on it again if it goes wrong | 18:04 |
| hayward2010 | Hi. Can anyone explain how to install one of the login screens available from art.ubuntu.org , using Ubuntu 10.4 ? | 18:05 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: hmm maybe..isn't there a way to check dependencies ? | 18:05 |
| === kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC] | ||
| Dr_Willis | hayward2010: most of them are for the old GDM. be sure to see which ones specificy gdm2. and as far as i know theres Not a lot of 'themes' out for gdm2 yet | 18:06 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: i think i've read something about that somewhere | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: perhaps. Ive never had to worry about it. I did have lubuntu remove network-manager once and install wicd.. it broke networking.. and was a pain to get network-manager back on | 18:06 |
| hayward2010 | ah right, i understand that... so where can i see the gdm2 ones ? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | hayward2010: ive only seen like 4 of them. and they were some how used by a program i tried called 'epidermis' (like the medical word for skin) | 18:07 |
| hayward2010 | thanks Dr_Willis :) | 18:07 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: hmm..then i guess i'll leave it as it is for now and see what else i can optimize..to be honest i wouldn't really want to drop gnome | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: and whats the system specs? | 18:07 |
| pat|nG | Dr_Willis: omg....i just clean the kernels....is it ok? lmao! using the tweak? | 18:07 |
| zeleftikam | Need some help networking. Ubuntu 10.04 Server on a machine with a Realtek RTL8111DL Gigabit ethernet controller. The machine links up at 100 and not 1000. Ethtool reports that it is linked at 1000, however my router says it is linked at 100 and file transfers are slow. Help? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: you tell me.. is it ok? it sould have left the one you are using. | 18:08 |
| aeon-ltd | Soshi_Toru: ok ,sorry but i'm out of ideas :( | 18:08 |
| Soshi_Toru | Aeon-ltd; I'm not trying to be difficult, its just that I made sure to verify that the methods of install were unlikely to be the issue etc. I'm also very put off by the fact that the WUBI install works, but the others don't | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: i find the ubuntu-tweak cleaner feature safer the the 'ubuntu janitor' program :) | 18:08 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: some old single core athlon CPU that works at 2GHz, 512 mb DDR2 (667MHz i think), ATI Radeon 9250 PRO | 18:09 |
| HEYooo | hi all. i have a netbook running ubuntu, and i need to put windows xp on it. is there a way to install xp onto a flash drive in ubuntu from an iso? | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: some day you may want to text out Lubuntu if you want to maxamize speeds | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | HEYooo: i dont think XP can normally work from a flash drive.. | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | that would need a BIG flash drive also i think. :) | 18:10 |
| zeleftikam | HEYooo» i think your best bet is to find a USB cd-rom drive | 18:10 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: atm i'm using the default video driver supplied with ubuntu..you think i might get better rendering speed if i switch to the proprietary one? | 18:11 |
| Katsumi32 | Dr_Willis, it can u need just burn it to usb from installation cd | 18:11 |
| mgolisch | why not? aslong as it has a ide/scsi/sata interface there should be no problem | 18:11 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: checking now what Lubuntu is.. | 18:11 |
| mgolisch | it doenst want to install on removeable media though | 18:11 |
| ^Cheeky | hi, what is the term used , so i can install ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook using my LAN as my usb drive is not recodnised by the machine | 18:11 |
| HEYooo | ive gotten it to install on flash drive, but using a program only on windows to format the flash drive to bootable | 18:11 |
| jakegub | mgolisch, I was on earlier talking about ubuntu not recognizing my windows installation | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Katsumi32: huh? Burn an XP ISO file to a USB flash drive - Im not sure that works.. ive seen too many other hacks/guides/tools for windopws that say they do the task for it to be that simple. | 18:11 |
| pat|nG | Dr_Willis: is it safe to cleanup purge ppas? i got this warning message stating that im gonna be downgraded all my ppas something like that....do i have to click yes? | 18:12 |
| HEYooo | just wondering if theres anything like usb-creator on ubuntu that can do it | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: no idea. Ive never used the feature | 18:12 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: any progress? | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | pat|nG: you can always reinstall the stuff | 18:12 |
| Katsumi32 | Dr_Willis, i have done with win7 | 18:12 |
| jakegub | chkdsk found no errors | 18:12 |
| Soshi_Toru | @ pipegeek: ctrl/alt/f1 during boot will let you see the text, will that also allow me to see the text for the install to see what is going wrong? | 18:12 |
| jakegub | gksu gparted found no partition | 18:12 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: i would guess parted/the installer reads that fake mbr table on gpt partitions for some reason and thaty why it doenst show anything | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Katsumi32: but win7 is not XP. :) then again this is all not really ubuntu related.. so best to ask in #windows i guess | 18:12 |
| kulhas | hello, I want to run a program with a .so but I dont want to install the .so in my system | 18:12 |
| mgolisch | gpt disks | 18:12 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: is this a normal pc? or a mac? | 18:13 |
| jakegub | mgolisch yeah it said something about that | 18:13 |
| pipegeek | Soshi_Toru: I think so. IIRC, the installer itself is on console 5 (ctrl-alt-f5), and various useful things are on 1-4 | 18:13 |
| pipegeek | but I may be misremembering | 18:13 |
| jakegub | mgolish it is an acer aspire 1410 notebook/netbook | 18:13 |
| pipegeek | one of them is a terminal, one of them is syslog, etc | 18:13 |
| pipegeek | someone more familiar with the installer would know better | 18:14 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: LXDE..hmm i see..can i safely install it over gnome to give it a try? | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | zoopp: you can .. but it may try to install wicd and remove network-manager.. i had that issue a few months back. | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !info lubuntu-desktop | 18:14 |

| jakegub | mgolisch gparted gave this..... /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. | 18:14 |
| Soshi_Toru | Pipegeek: Thanks, I'll return hopefully with actual system text to facilite some help, but one last thing, is there an easier way to link people's names than retyping them each response? | 18:14 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: i'll do some research on it..thanks for pointing that out :) | 18:15 |
| pipegeek | Soshi_Toru: Some clients support tab-completion. I typed the first three letters of your name and hit "tab" to get the rest. | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Katsumi32: i think theres somthing fundamentally wrong with that statement.. but ive not needed to try it.. and i do recall lots of hacks/tools/ to do what you are clamign is a simple task.. but its OT for here.. | 18:15 |
| Soshi_Toru | pipegeek: Thanks | 18:15 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: i wonder whats the correct way to sync that fake mbr table with the gpt table, maybe there is a tool that can do this | 18:16 |
| mgolisch | on my mac refit offers that, no idea how do it with linux or windows though | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | night all.. | 18:16 |
| Chaorain | hey I have a quick question, I bought Recettear on Impulse, is it possible to install it on Linux? Impulse is listed under wine appdb as garbage | 18:17 |
| Pici | Chaorain: Best to ask in #winehq for application compatability issues. | 18:18 |
| jakegub | mgolisch: Is there a reason it happens? I had this same computer set up the same way on a smaller hard drive. I upgraded my drive and reinstalled windows and now Ubuntu isn't working. I'll do some searching for a tool, but it sounds like a low-level operation which doesn't usually lend itself to nice gui programs | 18:18 |
| Chaorain | Pici: ah thats what that channel was | 18:18 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: think there is a utility named gptsync | 18:18 |
| mgolisch | for linux | 18:18 |
| jakegub | mgolisch: Let me google that for me.... | 18:19 |
| zoopp | dr_willis: i'm reading LXDE wiki right now and I see now such thing as you mentioned, it might have been a past bug that could be fixed by now..i'll give it a try | 18:19 |
| pipegeek | Chaorain: I don't see any mention of it in cedega's game database :( winehq itself lists it as "silver", which iirc means "it'll probably mostly work" | 18:20 |
| jakegub | mgolisch: is there a way to install the gptsync while running on a liveCD | 18:21 |
| Chaorain | pipegeek: lol, I can run it from the windows partition | 18:22 |
| mak2 | hi everyone, i just wiped my /boot-partition with a careless "dd", long story short: it's no problem to reinstall grub but all the other things needed to boot are gone (initrd, etc). which packets do I have to (re)install to get them back? | 18:23 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: sure you just need internet on it, aslong as it supports your lan/wlan it should work | 18:23 |

| erUSUL | xm: hi | 18:26 |
| xm | no no options of turning it off? | 18:26 |
| aeon-ltd | xm: i'm not saying you have to conform, but seriously around 60% of ubuntu's security is that one password entry | 18:26 |
| xm | erUSUL: sound working fine:) | 18:26 |
| LunaVorax | Hello everyone | 18:26 |
| erUSUL | xm: glad to hear it :) | 18:26 |
| aeon-ltd | xm: you could log in as root, or edit the sudoers file to allow every command without password | 18:26 |
| john__ | >hi, is extending an internet connection from a full install ubuntu computer to a windows xp computer possible through a 1394 port?? | 18:27 |
| mgolisch | jakegub: yeah go to setting-systemsettings-software-sources or whatever its named in your language and enable universe repo there | 18:27 |
| LunaVorax | I got a little problem, the buble that used to show in the top corner of my screen when someone was signing in/off in my pidgin buddie list have disappeared | 18:27 |

| Glen_ | hello all I have a question. I have an emachines ET1810 I am wanting to set up Ubuntu on this machine. Should I put server on it and then virtualize to put desktop on it? | 18:27 |
| mgolisch | Glen_: what for? | 18:28 |
| xm | aeon-ltd: i tried something that i found on the net, but it didn't work. is it safe to do? | 18:28 |
| john__ | i was able to go from an xp to an xp | 18:28 |
| pipegeek | Glen_: ... if you want to | 18:28 |
| pat|nG | how can i make printscreen on my desktop? | 18:29 |
| Sith_Lord | Glen_: seems to be a waste unless you have an actual use for the server. if its just going to be a desktop machine install it as such | 18:29 |
| Glen_ | Im trying to learn Linux. and was wanting to set up the server for learning it and also being able to have the desktop | 18:29 |
| xm | aeon-ltd: so do you type that password every time when you have to do something? | 18:29 |
| jrib | pat|nG: press the printscreen button on your keyboard | 18:29 |
| aeon-ltd | xm: no for "everything" but for changing things not owned in you own ~/ home directory, yse | 18:30 |
| aeon-ltd | *yes | 18:30 |
| Glen_ | I am wanting to set up a fileserver also | 18:30 |
| aeon-ltd | *no not for | 18:30 |
| pipegeek | pat|nG: you can associate the printscreen button with gnome-screenshot | 18:30 |
| pat|nG | jrib: i just pressed it but it seems only my wallpaper was captured? i can't see my panel and my dock on it.... | 18:30 |
| aeon-ltd | !samba | Glen_ | 18:30 |
| ubottu | Glen_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 18:30 |
| pipegeek | pat|nG: using the "keyboard shortcuts" control panel | 18:30 |
| Sith_Lord | if you got the resources Glen_, install server on a different box altogether | 18:31 |
| himanshu | hey, I want to register in this irc. but as i read these instructions, i am a bit confused where i shd write these commands (in the ubuntu-unregged channel?). I did so, but didn't get any mail from them. | 18:31 |
| Pici | himanshu: Registration help is available in #freenode | 18:32 |
| xm | aeon-ltd: it's my netbook so i guess everything is owned by me:) would you be able to tell me how to do it? | 18:32 |
| pat|nG | pipegeek: how? | 18:32 |
| jrib | pat|nG: umm, should include panels and such afaik | 18:32 |
| xm | aeon-ltd: or point me in the right direction? | 18:32 |
| aeon-ltd | xm: do what? also what things do you have to type your password for? | 18:32 |
| Glen_ | k ty fo the info | 18:32 |
| pipegeek | pat|nG: open up the control panel; it should be pretty straightforward | 18:32 |
| xm | installing new software | 18:33 |
| aeon-ltd | xm: that doesn't sound like much | 18:33 |

| xm | aeon-ltd: i guess you're right, at least nobody will be able to mess things up. anyway i can't edit my panel. i can't remove icons from panel (ei.username and chat account) i don't use them. options are grayed out. would you know how to do it? | 18:35 |

| scanie | I was wondering if anyone could help me with my "little" problem... I have ubuntu installed on a SSD drive, but I have to select my storage drive at startup to boot Ubuntu from the SSD. This is because I first installed ubuntu on my storage drive before I decided to install it on the SSD.. | 18:49 |
| scanie | I get grub when i select the storage drive at startup and then grub starts ubuntu from my ssd | 18:49 |
| scanie | how can I get the SSD to automatically boot? | 18:50 |
| mgolisch | install grub on it? | 18:50 |
| pat|nG | it's the same thing bro :( | 18:50 |
| muhammed43 | hi | 18:50 |
| mgolisch | i think the reason is mainly that unless told otherwise the installer installs grub to the first disk allways | 18:50 |
| sandman | thnx....so basically i have to go out and get a cd and burn it onto CD as it won't load from USB device?? | 18:51 |
| aeon-ltd | muhammed43: hi | 18:51 |
| scanie | mgolisch: ok, i tried to install grub on the SSD's MBR but I got a nasty warning telling me that it wasnt so smart | 18:51 |

| BluesKaj | bobboau, so what is happening , are you trying to install printer as network printers for the other work stations, because that would probly be easiest to setup | 19:00 |
| qwert | erUSUL: Why to disable gui's? | 19:00 |
| erUSUL | qwert: append "text" to kernel options is one way ( in /etc/default/grub ) | 19:00 |
| qwert | erUSUL: But why? | 19:00 |
| bobboau | I'm trying to install the printers so that I can have the server print from some cron scripts | 19:01 |
| erUSUL | why what? | 19:01 |
| Pici | qwert: Because Ubuntu Server has no graphical interface. | 19:01 |
| qwert | erUSUL: Huh? | 19:01 |
| qwert | erUSUL: Ok | 19:01 |
| qwert | Pici: Ok | 19:02 |

| oddy | so i boot my system, nothing is playing any sound although volume is set maximum and mixers all seem to be working. i haven't got any error messages or complaints. | 19:32 |
| mgolisch | make sure none of the needed channels is muted(M under it) | 19:32 |
| mgolisch | in alsamixer | 19:32 |
| oddy | mgolisch: nope | 19:32 |
| erUSUL | oddy: maybe its just pa who died ? run « start-pulseaudio-x11 » | 19:32 |
| mgolisch | it shouldnt the client.conf tells client to autospawn pa if its not running | 19:33 |
| mgolisch | so unless pa fails to start this should not be a problem | 19:33 |
| oddy | erUSUL: thanks, i'll give that a shot hold on | 19:34 |
| oddy | aha | 19:34 |

| zylogz80 | I can't add a twitter account in Gwibber. Brand new install of Ubuntu 10.04, fully updated, nothing additional installed (except xchat.) I can add other accounts no problem. If I go to Edit > Accounts > Add > Twitter > Add > then there's no account sign in details, just a red Authorize button. I hit that and nothing happens.

| DrGrov | Good evening | 19:42 |
| DrGrov | Everyone knows about the shutdown problems I have had with Ubuntu 10.04 due to Update Manager messing around with my libraries. | 19:42 |
| monokrome | DrGrov: Shutdown problems? I've had some too... Ubuntu freezes up during shutdown | 19:43 |
| DrGrov | I would need to know how to see which updates Update Manager last put in since it again caused the same problem I had earlier. Now it is the same as before. Interestingly though the problem disappeared due to the 2nd last Update Manager updates but with the last one it is back that I can not choose the Shutdown option from the login screen. | 19:44 |
| DrGrov | I am 100% sure it is a update to some lib/app that makes this problem | 19:44 |
| Emanon | back all | 19:44 |
| Emanon | so on a swap note i have 3g ram what should i set my swap/swappiness to? | 19:44 |
| DrGrov | monokrome: You got the problem due to Update Manager updating some libs/apps you have installed? | 19:45 |
| Emanon | im at 1.5g/60 respectively now | 19:45 |
| === qwert is now known as Aqwert | ||

| DrGrov | I am seriously getting angry about this problem jumping up again. | 19:45 |
| hardwired | what does "uncomment" mean, does it mean "add a comment char so the line is inactive" or does it mean "remove the comment sign and make the line active"? | 19:45 |
| Emanon | make active hardwired | 19:46 |
| Pici | hardwired: un = remove | 19:46 |
| DrGrov | monokrome: That it has done for me as well. The problem now though is not the same since I can not even do a shutdown. Just perhaps every 4th or 5th time it gives me the shutdown option.... | 19:46 |
| hardwired | Emanon, Pici: thanks | 19:46 |
| Emanon | comment out= add # uncomment= remove # | 19:46 |
| DrGrov | So, how can I check what updates Update Manager last did for me? | 19:46 |

| DrGrov | Pici: thanks, will check now. | 19:47 |
| DrGrov | Pici: i found the latest updates Update Manager does in /var/log/apt/history.log | 19:49 |
| lestat | hi | 19:49 |
| DrGrov | Pici: Now the problem is that I am not 100% sure what causes the error... Everything was working back to normal when I upgrade the 10th this month. Perhaps I should do a pastebin about this? | 19:49 |
| Pici | DrGrov: That could help. | 19:49 |
| lestat | any idea where stored the svn credentials ? | 19:50 |
| lestat | +are | 19:50 |
| DrGrov | Pici: here is the pastebin... http://pastebin.ca/1942306 | 19:50 |
| DouglasK | In Ubuntu Server, how do I rerun the tool to add roles to the server (eg, LAMP server, Email server, etc)? | 19:51 |

| Pici | DrGrov: When did it stop working properly? | 19:52 |
| Out_Cold_ | wtf is up with the flood bots in #ubuntu-unregged? | 19:52 |
| DrGrov | Pici: It stopped working properly earlier than that but when I updated 10th which is the first in the pastebin everything started working out well. | 19:52 |
| jimmy51_ | looking for some advice. i have two 500 GB drives. one is mounted as /, one is mounted as /home. /home is full and i've barely used the other drive. | 19:52 |
| jimmy51_ | what should i do? | 19:53 |
| DrGrov | Pici: It has happened earlier as well but now when it happened I immidiately thought it was a lib issue. Not a kernel issue as I first thought... | 19:53 |
| DrGrov | Pici: I lose the sound as well and shutdown options in login screen and shutdown option when I log in. I lose also the suspend option when I get to the login screen at first boot. | 19:53 |
| pat|nG | is there any way to let my usb pendrive to be detected on my ubuntu 10.04? | 19:54 |
| Pici | DrGrov: Theres nothing in the updates for the 10th that look like they would affect that. | 19:54 |
| karmic-koala | i have a usb drive on PC1 , when I ssh to PC1 from PC2 I can't see that drive because I am not logged into PC1, this is not the case when I am logged into PC1 and PC1 is just 'locked' | 19:55 |
| DrGrov | Pici: No that is really weird. But I did about 25 reboots then and I always got the Suspend at login screen and working Shutdown... | 19:55 |
| karmic-koala | any ideas? | 19:55 |
| jimmy51_ | is there a common place to store documents that should be accessible by all users? | 19:55 |
| DouglasK | karmic-koala: : use scp to copy the files to / from the remote machne | 19:56 |
| Pici | DrGrov: Was it doing a fsck? | 19:56 |
| SBRi | I installed 10.04.1 using Wubi and it worked fine. When I switched to the highest desktop effects setting, ubuntu asked that i download a graphics card driver. After installing driver and restarting, ubuntu froze at the loading screen. Before this, though, the graphics card seemed to be working fine (nVidia GeForce 9500M) because the 1080 resolution was detected out-of-the-box. May anyone... | 19:57 |
| SBRi | ...please help me? | 19:57 |
| DrGrov | Pici: Ah... Perhaps a check up yes... Is it that check up that might mess it up? can I PM you, easier to follow the discussion. | 19:57 |
| Out_Cold_ | jimmy51_, you could always make one.. just set permissions and users/groups accordingly | 19:57 |
| DrGrov | Pici: It does a check up every now and then and usually very often. Every 30 boots or so. | 19:57 |
| jimmy51_ | Out_Cold_: ok. so there's no "best practice" location for that? | 19:57 |
| Emanon | thanks to whoever clued my into how to customize the panel clock its nice having it correct | 19:58 |
| Out_Cold_ | jimmy51_, depends.. I use /srv but others have used /var or /home/share or something along those lines | 19:58 |

| DouglasK | karmic-koala: you can set a password for root on PC1, then use scp with root on that PC.. some will see that as a security risk though. you may also need to enable "allow root login" in the sshd config file on PC1. | 20:01 |

| edbian | Dougal, Use the disk usage analyzer | 20:08 |
| DouglasK | karmic-koala: then you have either a path error or a permissions issue. at the prompt on the remote machine, type mount and see where the usb drive is mounted. | 20:08 |
| trojan_spike | Dougal, files are still on hard drive,, > .trash | 20:08 |

| Dougal | trojan_spike: where's the .trash directory? | 20:09 |
| warflyr | karmic-koala hmmmm, have you made sure the all permissions have at least 4 or 5? (755, 644 or something) | 20:10 |

| warflyr | karmic-koala you can browse as root? | 20:11 |
| DouglasK | karmic-koala: what's the mount point? | 20:11 |
| Emanon | and no one has the right NOT to be free hehe | 20:11 |
| karmic-koala | warflyr, nope | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | Emanon: free as in price is just something that happens as a result of software freedom, as well | 20:11 |
| warflyr | ahh | 20:11 |
| DouglasK | it should read like "/dev/sdb1 on /path" | 20:11 |
| Emanon | yes warflyr sudo nautilus | 20:11 |
| DouglasK | karmic-koala: it should read like "/dev/sdb1 on /path" | 20:11 |
| karmic-koala | DouglasK, yes, its /dev/sdb1 | 20:11 |
| karmic-koala | DouglasK, did a fdisk -l as root | 20:12 |
| DouglasK | karmic-koala: please type "mount" at the prompt, not fsck. we need to find the mount point. | 20:12 |
| karmic-koala | warflyr, this is very strange, i am not able to change directory to /media/external_drive even as root (sudo -i) | 20:12 |

| versuchsanstalt | is there an elegant way to sync evolution or kontact calendar data with the iphone? | 20:42 |
| edbian | Is there an Ubuntu net install¿ | 20:43 |
| LjL | edbian: i think so, but i'm not familiar with it. i am, however, more familiar with the Minimal CD, which is about 10 megs and gets pretty much everything from the net. | 20:43 |
| dzeremis | s | 20:45 |
| edbian | LjL, Yeah here's the thing. I have a netbook. No CD drive and I don't have a jump drive big enough for Ubuntu. I just tried unetbootin but the harddrive was mounted (cause that's how it works. And I couldn't install Ubuntu. | 20:45 |
| foul_owl | what is the apt command to check to see if a package is installed? | 20:45 |
| dzer | Hello all! | 20:45 |
| VikasSingh01 | which 1 is best for superuser priviledge sudo or su | 20:46 |
| VikasSingh01 | sudo or su which is best | 20:46 |
| tim__ | Im trying to setup a headless, wireless, ubuntu server. ATM the wired connection starts automatically at startup and i can ssh in fine. I have gnome running and i can connect to the wireless from here. How do I stup the wireless to automatically connect to a network on boot? | 20:46 |
| foul_owl | sudo if you are doing one command, su if you have to do a bunch of things as root | 20:46 |
| guntbert | NielsMkn: there are two applications for touchpad configuration in the repos, one is gsynaptics and the other is gpointing-device-settings, do you have one of them installed? | 20:46 |
| LjL | edbian: wait, what do you mean the harddrive was mounted? i assume you copied the CD to a USB stick using unetbootin, and then booted from it? | 20:47 |
| foul_owl | but the danger with su is you forget to change back to a normal user | 20:47 |
| foul_owl | so i just use sudo all the time | 20:47 |
| guntbert | !sudo | VikasSingh01 | 20:47 |
| ubottu | VikasSingh01: 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 | 20:47 |
| magnificats | I would like to turn off the OSD in gnome that's connected to certain things like pidgin incoming messages and network connectivity, but it's not immediately apparent where to do that. | 20:47 |
| edbian | LjL, No man. You can use unetbootin to boot an ISO on the harddrive of the machine. | 20:48 |
| trism | magnificats: in pidgin, you can turn it off or configure the messages in Tools/Plugins/libnotify | 20:48 |
| erUSUL | tim__: see how to do it via /etc/network/interfaces http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#wpasupplicant | 20:48 |
| edbian | LjL, If I could put Ubuntu on a live USB I'd do that. I don't have a stick big enough. | 20:48 |
| guntbert | foul_owl: VikasSingh01: su doesn't "work" on a standard ubuntu - use/recommend sudo -i instead if absolutely necessary | 20:49 |
| LjL | edbian: uhm, again though, you only really need a ~10mb stick for minimal. | 20:49 |
| magnificats | trism: ahh, thanks | 20:49 |
| edbian | LjL, Anyway, what happens is Ubuntu thinks the HDD is the cd (since it is a live CD iso) and it thinks it's mounted so it won't repartition the drive. | 20:49 |
| edbian | LjL, Oh! Duh! Brilliant | 20:49 |
| edbian | LjL, Thanks for that. forward palm | 20:49 |
| Emanon | and su will work if you sudo passwd root and make a root password first | 20:50 |
| LjL | edbian: of course you don't have all the fancy graphics of the live installer... but it always worked just fine for me. although if you don't have wired ethernet, i guess that might be problematic. | 20:50 |
| jrib | Emanon: su is a command, it works fine by default :/ | 20:50 |
| Emanon | yea you just cant su by default on ubuntu cause the root user has no password and it doesnt permit an empty password for su | 20:51 |
| Emanon | so adding a root pass through sudo allows you to su | 20:51 |
| guntbert | Emanon: don't recommend setting a root password - its not supported here | 20:51 |
| Parabola|work | hey, i'm getting "segmentation fault" when i try to SSH from one user account, its not an account that i can delete | 20:51 |
| jrib | Emanon: yeah, but su works fine, you can su someuser | 20:51 |
| dajhorn | tim__: If you're not using the Network Manager, then you need to read about the /etc/network/interfaces file and how it can call the wpa_supplicant. | 20:51 |
| Emanon | right you can su sideways just not up | 20:51 |
| lukus | Emo 'su -s' | 20:52 |
| lukus | Emanon, ^ | 20:52 |
| lukus | sorry .. 'sudo -s' | 20:52 |
| jrib | Emanon: most people that want to use "su" for some reason just don't know about "sudo -i" | 20:52 |
| edbian | LjL, Mmmm, yeah... | 20:52 |
| guntbert | Emanon: use sudo -i instead (if you *must*) | 20:52 |
| edbian | LjL, Thanks for the help! Sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes | 20:52 |
| lukus | guntbert, what's the difference between -i and -s? | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | lukus: envoirment set up | 20:53 |
| guntbert | lukus: they set the environment differently, -i is preferred because it creates a complete root environment | 20:53 |
| lukus | ah okay | 20:54 |
| Parabola|work | any ideas? | 20:54 |
| lukus | thx | 20:54 |
| Emanon | this is just like mandriva if you ask how to enable root login or something you get 50 responses saying dont and btw welcome to the operating system of "freedom" yes using root in any way any more than needed is a bad idea but i tired of the "don't you'll break" sentiment in anything even remotely user friendly | 20:54 |
| Emanon | like even fedora is hiding root access in some obscure poorly worded config file | 20:55 |

| Parabola|work | hcook: apt-get install -f ? | 20:57 |
| erUSUL | bove: what traffic? may be becouse iptables rules ? | 20:57 |
| guntbert | Emanon: what you do with your own system is your problem alone - we won't interfere beyond a warning, but if you seem to recommend it here you will get some "no" | 20:57 |
| erUSUL | unperson: if it is older chances are you will have to use the open source driver radeon | 20:57 |
| erUSUL | !runlevels | tim__ | 20:58 |
| ubottu | tim__: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 20:58 |
| guntbert | and Emanon we don't care about your schedule, so don't tell the channel :-) | 20:58 |
| unperson | erUSUL, So there's no analog of nvidia's legacy driver? | 20:58 |

| panfist | from this page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine, Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala, introduces a convenient new command for adding Launchpad PPA repositories via the command line: add-apt-repository. | 21:05 |
| Talon_ | I have ubuntu 10 and two monitors, i configured them to be seperate X sessions, rather than shared display stretching across both of them. now how can I have a browser running in each monitor? firefox won't let me launch another session if its already running in one or the other | 21:05 |
| panfist | is there a reason this isn't in the current version? | 21:05 |
| Vicfred | Hi, How do I send a message over the wlan? both computers are using linux | 21:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | question about drivers. Are there Ubuntu drivers for the WACOM Bamboo Pen / Touch tablets? | 21:06 |
| jrib | panfist: it is by default I beileve. It's part of python-software-properties | 21:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | Vicfred, define send a message over wlan | 21:06 |
| grumbly | My computer is an Asus K50J, with 2.6.32, the trackpad is recognized wrongly as a logitech PS/2 mouse... I have 2 finger vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll. With 2.6.34+ it works vertically and horizontally... but sometimes in the opposite direction i move it, sometimes it scrolls when I use one finger, | 21:07 |
| zex | How do I get ubuntu to boot in verbose mode starting with grub? | 21:07 |
| panfist | jrib i'm trying to do it and it says command not found | 21:07 |
| Emanon | think Vicfred means like net send in windows | 21:07 |
| ProNihilist | is there an easy way to get ubuntu to switch from speakers to usb headset to speakers as a headset is plugged in / out ? | 21:07 |
| jrib | panfist: well what did you install? | 21:07 |
| wuschelhase | My friend has got an issue with his [ INTEL wlan] after suspending his Laptop to Ram. | 21:07 |
| wuschelhase | He gets intresting Kernel-Errors like [kernel: [16095.805324] iwlagn 0000:04:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.] ... | 21:07 |
| Emanon | ProNihilist: earcandy | 21:07 |
| EvilPhoenix | Emanon, that's one command i'm unfamiliar wtih from Windows... what the heck is "netsend"? | 21:08 |
| ProNihilist | Emanon: thanks, I'll take a peak, do you know off hand if it's cool with OSS4? | 21:08 |
| EvilPhoenix | now my queston: question about drivers. Are there Ubuntu drivers for the WACOM Bamboo Pen / Touch tablets? | 21:08 |
| erUSUL | !wacom | 21:08 |
| Emanon | ProNihilist: it just manages audio events through pulse | 21:08 |
| Emanon | so if pulse plays nice with oss then yes | 21:08 |
| ProNihilist | Emanon: curses, I have uninstalled pulse at the moment, but I think it can play nice if I put it back, I'll give that a shot, thanks! | 21:09 |
| Emanon | might wanna tweak the defaults though it sometimes fades my audio out if i dont change things | 21:09 |
| pfifo | hey | 21:09 |
| DrGrov | Guys, can not be serious that no one else has that same issue as I do? | 21:09 |
| Emanon | EvilPhoenix: they took it out in vista i think | 21:10 |
| sjefen6 | How can I find out what actions that are assignable in "/etc/bluetooth/input.conf"? | 21:10 |
| grumbly | Any ideas on how to fix my mouse issues with 2.6.34/35? | 21:10 |
| EvilPhoenix | Emanon, still dont know what its supposed to do. My issue is about a WACOM drivers thing though, so.... x] | 21:10 |
| Emanon | net send <ip/hostname> "Message" and it pops up like a system notification (error or whatever) | 21:10 |
| EvilPhoenix | grumbly, define mouse issues | 21:10 |
| grumbly | My computer is an Asus K50J, with 2.6.32, the trackpad is recognized wrongly as a logitech PS/2 mouse... I have 2 finger vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll. With 2.6.34+ it works vertically and horizontally... but sometimes in the opposite direction i move it, sometimes it scrolls when I use one finger, | 21:10 |
| pfifo | how can i find the kernel's config? I used to see it in /proc somewhere | 21:10 |
| Vicfred | EvilPhoenix, Emanon, yes, like net send in windows | 21:11 |
| EvilPhoenix | grumbly, check mouse settings | 21:11 |
| kruhft | pfifo: /proc/config.gz | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | pfifo: /proc/config.gz or in /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 21:11 |
| PeterDrop | hello pple, iam in looking for docs about, how to start the computer and allow the user just use that program, nothing else | 21:11 |
| PeterDrop | somebody can apointme in some direction, please | 21:11 |
| grumbly | EvilPhoenix: I have... I dont know what it could be | 21:12 |
| pfifo | ahh there it is in /boot thanks | 21:12 |
| Emanon | used to use it for hilarious results at the alternative school i went to (net send <ip of stoner 3 computers over> "This program has commited an illegal operation, the police are on the way") | 21:12 |
| fedora_newb | does anyone know of a tutorial that keeps thunderbird running as a notification icon to receive emails instead of having it open all the time? | 21:12 |
| wuschelhase | My friend has got an issue with his [ INTEL wlan] after suspending his Laptop to Ram. | 21:12 |
| wuschelhase | He gets intresting Kernel-Errors like [kernel: [16095.805324] iwlagn 0000:04:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.] ... | 21:12 |
| kruhft | pfifo: oops, forgot this was #ubuntu... | 21:12 |
| wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww | How can I have it so when I put a file in a shared folder in samba in windows that I can have permissions for it in ubuntu? | 21:12 |
| grumbly | EvilPhoenix: It is an Elantech trackpad (or touchpad) and I know there are problems with the 2.6.32 kernel module... are there some other configs that I should look into? | 21:13 |
| erUSUL | wuschelhase: looks like the driver could not wake up the chip ... maybe reloading the driver helps | 21:13 |
| pfifo | !ubuntu | kruhft | 21:13 |
| ubottu | kruhft: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 21:13 |
| EvilPhoenix | grumbly, i'm uncertain at the moment, you might wait to ask others | 21:13 |
| Slart | fedora_newb: I use "mail-notification" instead.. but I think there are some tools that makes thunderbird minimize to the tray.. that should work | 21:13 |
| Emanon | and Vicfred sorry i dont know of an analogue on linux | 21:13 |
| EvilPhoenix | Emanon, i dont think there is one... | 21:13 |
| grumbly | EvilPhoenix: Ok. Thanks for your honesty | 21:14 |
| fedora_newb | Slart...mail-notification will notify me when I receive new email in thunderbird without it being opened? | 21:14 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: looking over your recent messages and the bug report you put up, my guess is that the people here don't have a clue what the issue is. I sure don't. | 21:14 |
| Emanon | sorry Vicfred guess you get to shout to the other room | 21:14 |
| kruhft | pfifo: i know i develop on it now...i just forget that they don't include things like /proc/config.gz like every other distro and kernel i've compiled | 21:14 |
| DHCPACK | Hey, a friend of mine was saving a text document onto his desktop (Ubuntu 8.04) and the system crashed, he rebooted and now everything on the desktop has gone. I don't have a clue about how I would go about recovering the files, does anyone have any suggestions? | 21:14 |
| geekphreak | howdy | 21:14 |
| Slart | fedora_newb: oh.. no, it will check different mail-boxes for you and display a notification when you get new mail, clicking the icon then starts thunderbird | 21:14 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Ok, no worries then. It just seems like many using 10.04 has this problem. | 21:14 |
| pfifo | How do the developers of ubuntu decide which kernel to use? Do they just drop paper slips in a hat and draw a version number at random? | 21:15 |
| Emanon | DHCPACK: you check the home folder? maybe desktop icons just turned off | 21:15 |
| geekphreak | guys anyone else faced issue with ubuntu, during chkrootkit scam /var/run/utmp shell open warning? | 21:15 |
| guntbert | !ot | pfifo | 21:15 |
| grumbly | Ok... So Mplayer wont load. Where are the relevant logs? | 21:15 |
| ubottu | pfifo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:15 |
| DHCPACK | Emanon: The icons haven't been turned off, we checked :/ | 21:15 |
| fedora_newb | Slart, but i have to have thunderbird opened for it to check? | 21:15 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Otherwise it is not such a big problem but it kind of annoys the living hell out me since I can not work at all with this issue hanging around. | 21:15 |
| pat|nG | what's the command to uninstall avant window navigator thru the terminal? | 21:15 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: just for my own enlightenment, can you give me a couple words describing the problem? Is this graphics? gdm? | 21:15 |
| Slart | pfifo: I think they have a "freeze date" and then they take whatever is working best at that moment and start testing | 21:15 |
| geekphreak | pat|nG: apt-get remove --purge app_name | 21:15 |
| pfifo | guntbert, How is that off topic? | 21:15 |
| erUSUL | DHCPACK: maybe everything is there still if he runs « nautilus ~/Desktop » does it see his fies ? | 21:16 |
| Slart | fedora_newb: nope.. mail-notification checks the mailboxes itself | 21:16 |
| erUSUL | files* | 21:16 |
| tim__ | how do i change default runlevel? | 21:16 |
| wuschelhase | erUSUL: He already got it off and tried to enable it again ... sudo modprobe -style | 21:16 |
| geekphreak | anyone else got chkroot kit warning off open shell and should i worry/ | 21:16 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: We're just trying that now :) | 21:16 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: It is a GDM problem. I do not get a shutdown/suspend option in GDM nor does the reboot work in GDM. When I log in I can not restart even though I have the option there. No shutdown when I logged in. The only way is to log out, drop down to terminal 1, log in and sudo reboot. | 21:16 |
| guntbert | pfifo: how was that a support question? this channel is not meant for discussing merely ubuntu related things | 21:16 |
| Emanon | seriously gunt youve been throwing that stuff around all day like a hall monitor | 21:17 |
| guntbert | !runlevel | tim__ | 21:17 |
| ubottu | tim__: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 21:17 |
| Exxon | hi | 21:17 |
| pfifo | Slart, working best how? do they run more then one testing or best as in what kernel.org recommends? | 21:17 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: That comes back empty :( | 21:17 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: now I see. What about trying an alternate DM, like Slim? | 21:17 |
| Emanon | you sure you used the right fricative to spell your name? | 21:17 |
| fedora_newb | Ok sounds like what I am wanting, thanks for the help Slart, do appreciate it | 21:17 |
| geekphreak | can anyone help please/ | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | wuschelhase: maybe putting the driver name in the MODULES variable in /etc/default/acpi-support ? | 21:17 |
| Slart | pfifo: I don't know the specifics.. try #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | DHCPACK: does he remember the name of any of the files ? | 21:17 |
| Slart | fedora_newb: you're welcome | 21:17 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: The strange thing is that it does work from time to time. But not so often. A week ago it worked flawlessly everything for about 150 boots until last night when the thing reappeared. | 21:17 |
| grumbly | Ok... So Mplayer wont load. What and Where are the relevant logs? | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | DHCPACK: « find ~/ -name '*partofname*' -print » | 21:18 |
| darrend | anyone able to tell me why my removable media provokes no response at all when plugged in?? | 21:18 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: okay, we'll have a go ^_^ | 21:18 |
| geekphreak | none helps | 21:18 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: you can bet with a bug like that it will take many manhours to resolve | 21:18 |
| Emanon | u check for it in partition manager darrend? | 21:18 |
| erUSUL | darrend: see the conf in nautilus preferences | 21:18 |
| Emanon | maybe it has a bad FS for no apparent reason | 21:18 |
| guntbert | !patience | geekphreak | 21:18 |
| ubottu | geekphreak: 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 | 21:18 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Yeah and the biggest problem is that I can not work at all when I have this problem.... | 21:18 |
| Slart | darrend: nothing in the syslog when you connect it? | 21:18 |
| geekphreak | guntbert: :) | 21:19 |
| Slart | darrend: try opening a terminal and running "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then connect/disconnect your external things | 21:19 |
| darrend | Slart: nope. After a reboot it works once (perfectly) then after unplugging and re-plugging, nothing. | 21:19 |
| geekphreak | guntbert: ever encountered chkrootkit warning of open shell? | 21:19 |
| NoTownKasper | System: Ubuntu 10.04, right out of the box with the exception of a few updates and firefox plugins...but the whole system is incredibly flaky on resolving hostnames. So far the only workaround I've found has been to completely re-configure my network settings, watch the new config fail even harder and then reset to original settings. Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it? | 21:19 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: if you have a single-user system, and only use the same type of session (like Gnome), how about bypassing GDM completely? | 21:19 |
| darrend | never see anything in the logs second time | 21:19 |
| darrend | Slart: ^^ | 21:19 |
| guntbert | geekphreak: no, sorry | 21:19 |
| kbot6789 | hi guys im looking for some help installing a game | 21:19 |
| erUSUL | !ipv6 | NoTownKasper | 21:20 |
| ubottu | NoTownKasper: For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 21:20 |
| Emanon | !details \ kbot6789 | 21:20 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:20 |
| erUSUL | NoTownKasper: try disabling ipv6 | 21:20 |
| Emanon | !details | kbot6789 | 21:20 |
| ubottu | kbot6789: 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 ..." | 21:20 |
| NoTownKasper | Thank you, but IPV6 is disabled. | 21:20 |
| NoTownKasper | :P | 21:20 |
| Slart | darrend: hmm.. might be something wrong with the external thing.. you usually get some kind of error message or something in the logs when you plug something in | 21:20 |
| fedora_newb | Slart, how do I add Thunderbird to the mailboxes? | 21:20 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Yes, that could be a solution. Though I am really feeling bad about this that the problem is a major problem which has to do with GDM but indirectly. | 21:20 |
| kbot6789 | i need some help installing a game called freecraft but i dont even know how to install anything in linux | 21:20 |
| darrend | Slart: I've tried restarting hald, acpid, udev and several kernel modules. No luck (and no syslog messages!) | 21:20 |
| Slart | fedora_newb: you don't add thunderbird.. you add the mail-accounts you want to check.. imap/pop or whatever it is | 21:21 |
| warflyr | kbot6789 look for the manual or faq for freecraft | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | darrend: should be "udisks" not hald in recent ubuntu | 21:21 |
| Emanon | kbot6789: in terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal type sudo apt-get install freecraft | 21:21 |
| Slart | fedora_newb: basically the same information you enter in the "Add account" wizard in thunderbird | 21:21 |
| kbot6789 | thare is not one sadly | 21:21 |
| darrend | erUSUL: ah.. is that a daemon? | 21:21 |
| * darrend checks.. | 21:21 | |
| kbot6789 | i'll try to figure it out | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | darrend: yes and a command | 21:21 |
| fedora_newb | Oh ok, thanks again Slart...lol... <--newb ... | 21:21 |
| NoTownKasper | erUSUL: I should point out, IPV6 is disabled and at the moment and my ability to connect to IRC is a lucky fluke, nothing else will resolve. I can't even open google. | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | darrend: pgrep -l udisk | 21:22 |
| kbot6789 | its a bin file i have no idea on how to install it | 21:22 |
| geekphreak | anyone else encountered chkrootkit warning? | 21:22 |
| erUSUL | NoTownKasper: tried using google or opendns DNS servers ? ( instead of what you are using now) | 21:22 |
| darrend | erUSUL: got it.. what's the command to restart it? There's no init.d for it.. | 21:22 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper may want to start trying some tracert, digs, nmaps, telnets, etc ;) | 21:22 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: what are you trying to install ? | 21:22 |
| erUSUL | darrend: no just to check that they are running | 21:22 |
| darrend | erUSUL: yes, they are | 21:23 |
| kbot6789 | a game called freecraft its a linux version i guese of starcraft | 21:23 |
| VikasSingh01 | we can use antivirus in ubuntu ? | 21:23 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: My main scare is that I keep losing some information like work email on the Webmail or something else since I need to reboot over and over again. | 21:23 |
| panfist | jrib re add-apt-repository, i don't think i installed anything that would modify apt... just apache, django, postgres, postfix, git, some other little crap | 21:23 |
| guntbert | !av | VikasSingh01 | 21:23 |
| ubottu | VikasSingh01: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 21:23 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: you shouldn't feel bad. Report it, work around it, forget it until next release. The world will keep spinning. | 21:23 |
| erUSUL | darrend: checked the nautilus preferences ? | 21:23 |
| kbot6789 | but its a bin file so i have no idea on how to install it | 21:23 |
| darrend | erUSUL: don't get that far.. the device never appears in /dev | 21:24 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Yeah but it is really really painful since I work on this machine. Everything I do I do on this machine. | 21:24 |
| kbot6789 | if i could i would throw the link up so you could see what im talking about | 21:24 |
| Emanon | kbot6789 freecraft was discontinued for copyright concerns the new version is called Stratagus | 21:24 |
| guntbert | kbot6789: where did you get it? ask them | 21:24 |
| VikasSingh01 | u mean its also a antivirus | 21:24 |
| NoTownKasper | erUSUL: yeah, I'm playing with firefox right now while talking to you guys, trying to see if I can get it to the ubuntu forums to make sure I really do have ipv6 disabled, and I tried switching to a couple DNS servers I keep reserved for just such situations...still nothing. Still incredibly flakey. Was working perfect yesterday...and today...it's like dialup on an early 90's cell phone. :P | 21:24 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: I just hate to see some webmails lost or some important work stuff lost due to a constant rebooting. | 21:24 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: We keep getting aborted messages :/ | 21:24 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: in a terminal, chmod +x filename.bin; ./filename.bin | 21:24 |
| kbot6789 | its just on a website | 21:24 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: but you should look for a .deb package | 21:24 |
| darrend | erUSUL: I'm running the udisks-daemon in foreground to see what happens (after killing existing process) | 21:24 |
| erUSUL | DHCPACK: did you run a fsck ( filesystem check ) on the partition ? | 21:24 |
| wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww | anyone have an idea on how i might open up a stream with vlc with autohotkey? | 21:24 |
| Emanon | kbot6789: http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/ | 21:25 |
| panfist | from this page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine, Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala, introduces a convenient new command for adding Launchpad PPA repositories via the command line: add-apt-repository. | 21:25 |
| panfist | is there a reason this isn't in the current version? | 21:25 |
| kbot6789 | ok ilove i'll try that real quick thank you | 21:25 |
| geekphreak | oh :( | 21:25 |
| panfist | or at least, why wouldn't it be in my version...i dont think i've done anything to modify the way apt behaves | 21:25 |
| wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww | i mean i know how to do it in linux its just vlc rtp://myip:port | 21:25 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: No, not yet, I'm going to guess we'll have to run that from a live disk or something? | 21:25 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: try this package first http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb | 21:25 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: I wouldn't put up with it. I'd rather type "startx" after logging in. But I'm sure it would be very simple to get that to work automatically too. | 21:26 |
| Emanon | oh there you go good one ilovefairuz | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | DHCPACK: you can do « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot | 21:26 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Yeah, I kind of hope it would work automatically. The problem seems to be related to consolekit somehow. | 21:26 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: alright, thankyou :) | 21:26 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: I think that's what threw me. I don't know what "consolekit" is at all. | 21:27 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: download it and this one too http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb .. and do the following in a terminal: sudo gdebi freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb | 21:27 |
| geekphreak | can anyone please help? | 21:27 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Me neither, trying to learn about it now. It is just gibberish for me LOL | 21:27 |
| warflyr | gdebi = dpkg install? | 21:27 |
| kbot6789 | ok i'll try it thanks | 21:27 |
| erUSUL | warflyr: yes | 21:27 |
| geekphreak | erUSUL: can you help? | 21:28 |
| ilovefairuz | warflyr: yes with resolved dependencies | 21:28 |
| DrGrov | Nobody got this issue then? "Active VT tracking can fail at startup" "Active VT tracking can fail at startup", https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/544139?comments=all | 21:28 |
| NoTownKasper | geekphreak: I've been here almost 15 minutes and haven't even seen you ask a question except "Can you help." | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | geekphreak: what is the problem/question ? | 21:29 |
| geekphreak | NoTownKasper: asked 3 times | 21:29 |
| warflyr | geekphreak often if you dont get a reply, your question was not good enough | 21:29 |
| darrend | erUSUL: nothing doing with udisks. Restarting the udisks-daemon makes no difference either :/ | 21:29 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: it is part of the fast user switching setup. not very relevant to your situation, if you're the only user! | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | darrend: :/ sorry | 21:30 |
| sjefen6 | How can I find out what actions that are assignable in "/etc/bluetooth/input.conf"? | 21:30 |
| geekphreak | erUSUL: i am getting warning errors with chkrootkit that shell is open, not rootkit was detected though, have you seen it before | 21:30 |
| darrend | erUSUL: np, thanks for the pointers | 21:30 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Yeah but it seems to strike at everytime. Now I do have my fiancee as a second user on the box too but she seldomly logs in. | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | geekphreak: sorry never used that software | 21:30 |

| erUSUL | !info arista | willeb | 21:31 |
| ubottu | willeb: arista (source: arista): multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3+repack-0ubuntu5 (lucid), package size 190 kB, installed size 1572 kB | 21:31 |
| geekphreak | kbot6789: are you running cli mode? | 21:32 |
| warflyr | geekphreak, try: sudo chrootkit & | 21:32 |

| shane2peru | virtual machine or vbox? What is easier and more useful? | 21:32 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: What is the PPA then? I see that there is a fix for this but I do not know how to install this fix. | 21:32 |
| VikasSingh01 | how people use linux ? | 21:32 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: i did try that, still got it | 21:32 |
| brime | I am having trouble installing ubuntu server; It gets to 75% and asks me to change media | 21:32 |
| warflyr | geekphreak, may also want to try: sudo nohup chrootkit | 21:32 |
| kbot6789 | no just xchatr i downloaded from ubuntu | 21:32 |
| NoTownKasper | erUSUL: Ok, after much poking and prodding at firefox I got it to the link you gave me, and checked. Yes, IPV6 is disabled. Further testing with spare DNS servers (two different ones.) is showing the same problem...though admittedly the DNS servers I'm using aren't supposed to be for public use. :P | 21:32 |
| iceroot | shane2peru: use vbox, its in the repos and very powerfull | 21:32 |
| VikasSingh01 | its urgent...... | 21:32 |
| VikasSingh01 | tell me | 21:32 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: I don't know what PPA you're referring to. Personally, I distrust them. | 21:32 |
| iceroot | VikasSingh01: you have a support question? | 21:33 |
| jrib | panfist: install the package I told you if you want that command. If you're using server instead of desktop, it's likely not installed by default | 21:33 |
| shane2peru | iceroot, I used it before, are there still tricks to setting up USB with vbox? | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | !linux | VikasSingh01 | 21:33 |
| ubottu | VikasSingh01: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 21:33 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: that command (sudo touch /forcefsck) didn't work :/ | 21:33 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Ok, It seems like there is some kind of fix for this but I just need to find the PPA to install and it should work. | 21:33 |
| geoffmcc | when people say you shouldnt install packages of certain things is that cause it may be outdated? | 21:33 |
| Emanon | VikasSingh01: repeat that in coherent english please? | 21:33 |
| erUSUL | DHCPACK: then use gparted from a livecd | 21:33 |
| DHCPACK | erUSUL: okay, though it would have to go like that.. | 21:34 |
| Emanon | (sudo touch /forcefsck)= raep? | 21:34 |
| NoTownKasper | BTW, that how-to should be updated...it's like 5 releases old. lol | 21:34 |
| ilovefairuz | geoffmcc: you generally should refrain from installing packages from unofficial repositories | 21:35 |
| warflyr | VikasSingh01 if youre seriously looking for an answer to "how people use linux?'; really your best answer is: 'same way they use any OS' | 21:35 |
| iceroot | shane2peru: yes, use the non-free version, the free version doesnt have usb-support | 21:35 |
| ilovefairuz | !manual | VikasSingh01 | 21:35 |
| DrGrov | How do I install PPA? | 21:35 |
| ubottu | VikasSingh01: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 21:35 |
| geoffmcc | ilovefairuz: one example would be i heard people say not to install ssh package- should be compiled from source | 21:35 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: thanks for help | 21:35 |
| NoTownKasper | geoffmcc: there's lots of reasons. It might be out-dated, it not be from a trustworthy developer, it could be poorly written to require non newbiefriendly interaction...lots of reasons. | 21:35 |
| warflyr | geekphreak did that work? | 21:35 |
| kbot6789 | hmm i did sudo said file not found | 21:35 |
| pat|nG | anyone? | 21:36 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: still getting it, no rootkit found though, rkhunter comes clean | 21:36 |
| pat|nG | i need to customize my desktop | 21:36 |
| geoffmcc | NoTownKasper: i just worried cause i could not get libssh2 to compile so i settled using libssh2-1-dev and libssh2-php | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | zex: as i said in bash; you have to use an interactive shell for repairing your system. there is no point of doing a script for it | 21:36 |
| Emanon | pat|nG: you and half the obviously blind desktop users | 21:36 |
| warflyr | geekphreak hmmm, well im not sure what else... good luck though | 21:36 |
| brime | hello, I am having a problem installing ubuntu server 9.10 and 10.4 | 21:36 |
| lucenut | Hi guys. I just installed medibuntu. | 21:36 |
| ilovefairuz | geoffmcc: you shouldn't compile from source unless you need to change build flags to add or remove specific features or when there are no packages available | 21:36 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: you think its a sign of getting hacked? | 21:36 |
| lucenut | I am trying to burn an avi to a dvd. | 21:36 |
| Emanon | what you need help with pat|nG | 21:36 |
| warflyr | geekphreak no | 21:37 |
| lucenut | Can someone tell me how. :-) | 21:37 |
| Emanon | lucenut: brasero | 21:37 |
| zex | erUSUL; Why not? | 21:37 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: ok thanks | 21:37 |
| DrGrov | jimcooncat: Should I try to get myself logged in automatically without using GDM? | 21:37 |
| Emanon | it has an option to make dvd and its preinstalled on ubuntu | 21:37 |
| NoTownKasper | pat|nG: Since you didn't really ask a question...let me point you in the direction of gnome-look.org. A great place to start customizing your Ubuntu desktop with wallpapers, themes and whatnot. | 21:37 |
| erUSUL | zex: not worth the hassle. do you plan to be rescuing your system from this same breakage everyday ?? or even once a month? | 21:38 |
| geoffmcc | ilovefairuz, NoTownKasper thank you | 21:38 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: I wouldn't go that far, especially with another user on the machine. I'd want a text-based login, and have it start my graphical session after login. | 21:38 |
| warflyr | jimcooncat $ sudo update-rc.d gdm none | 21:39 |
| lucenut | Wow, it looks like it's going to be simple with Brasero! Thanks. | 21:39 |
| jimcooncat | DrGrov: Or just replace GDM with something else | 21:39 |
| zex | erUSUL; I am building a catalog of scripts consisting of things I have done and learned. Partitally for reference. So many things that I have done, I have forgotten, but if I had a script for them I would be able to look them up if I ever had the problem again. | 21:40 |
| jimcooncat | warflyr: thanks for that, but it looks like DrGrov left the building. | 21:40 |
| NoTownKasper | Ok, to rehash: I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. IPv6 is disabled but I'm still having horrible troubles resolving hostnames, even with various DNS servers. It's at the point now that the internet is about 90% un-useable...I'm lucky I can get here. Any suggestions? | 21:40 |
| Emanon | you're welcome lucenut | 21:40 |
| zex | erUSUL; I realized that Is why it has been so difficult for me to fully understand and learn Linux; because I don't keep track of what I learn. | 21:41 |
| erUSUL | zex: just writte the steps you do with explanation in a text file | 21:41 |
| zex | ls | 21:41 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper make sure you dont have 2 default gateways | 21:41 |
| === martind_ is now known as martind | ||
| Emanon | zex: sudo apt-get install brain ? | 21:41 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: Excuse me? 'splain please? | 21:41 |
| iceroot | Emanon: we dont need that here. thank you | 21:42 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper, $ route -n; are there two gateways at the bottom with dest 0.0.0.0? | 21:42 |
| Emanon | oh i was being facetious and you know it | 21:42 |
| lucenut | Ah crap. When trying to burn an avi to DVD with Brasero it errors saying "All required applications and libraries are not installed. Please install the following manually and try again: mplex (GStreamer plugin)" | 21:42 |
| warflyr | lucenut: $sudo apt-get install mplex | 21:42 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: Nope, just the one. | 21:42 |
| Emanon | i told a guy a a pickaxe was the fastest way to safe mode a minute ago you think im serious? | 21:42 |
| trojan_spike | lucenut, dive DeveDe ago.. i think its one of the best | 21:42 |
| Emanon | he could install brainvisa i suppose | 21:43 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper; what happens if you tracepath 8.8.8.8? | 21:43 |
| trojan_spike | give (dive) | 21:43 |
| zex | Emanon; I have come to realize that it must be my fault that I am only who I am. That's ok I have gotten used to being myself. | 21:43 |
| Emanon | see iceroot valuble life lessons self empowerment and so forth | 21:43 |
| Emanon | your welcome | 21:43 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: Want the whole output? | 21:43 |
| digitalfiz | so whats a good business card making program for ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| Emanon | ;-) zex | 21:43 |
| geoffmcc | warflyr: sidenote - have u noticed google dns got way slower | 21:43 |
| warflyr | genewitch yeah ive noticed at times its slow or from certain locations | 21:44 |
| Emanon | digitalfiz: http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000428 ? | 21:44 |
| warflyr | s/genewitch/geoffb | 21:44 |
| geoffmcc | warflyr: i thik more people use now or something, used to be blazing fast | 21:45 |
| Emanon | digitalfiz: or http://thedailyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/01/glabels-business-card-and-label-creator.html perhaps | 21:45 |
| digitalfiz | thanks Emanon ill check them out | 21:45 |
| warflyr | geoffmcc im sure its activity is probably somewhat exponential | 21:45 |
| Emanon | no prob digitalfiz have fun | 21:45 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper, does it actually get to 8.8.8.8? | 21:46 |
| lucenut | I tried "$sudo apt-get install mplex" and it says "E: Could not open locl file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied) | 21:46 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: don't know, it gets about 5 hops down then starts getting a butt-load of "no reply"s. | 21:46 |
| Emanon | did you include that $? | 21:46 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper; try to tracepath yahoo.com; does it stop at the same place? | 21:47 |
| lucenut | Yes, I included the $. | 21:47 |
| lucenut | Was I supposed to? | 21:47 |
| Emanon | try without the $ | 21:47 |
| warflyr | i guess tracepath 69.147.125.65 since your dns doesnt work o.0 | 21:47 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: first 3 hops, fine, 4 and 5, no reply 6-12 fine, then nothing but no-replys... | 21:48 |
| Emanon | $ is not something you type in but if someone puts it in front of a command they are telling you to run the command as a regular user | 21:48 |
| lucenut | Now it read the package lists built dependency tree and read state info. But says "E: Couldn't find package mplex" | 21:48 |
| Emanon | # would denote running the command as root lucenut | 21:48 |
| lucenut | Ah, thanks. | 21:49 |
| Emanon | that means you did it right but it didnt have that package available for install | 21:49 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: oddly enough though, I tracepath'd yahoo.com and it sprung into action. :\ but my browser won't resolve much of anything. | 21:49 |
| wieshka | hey there - quick question ... i am now making my hdds for RAID 1 array from ubuntu live cd | 21:49 |
| wieshka | with gparted & mdadm | 21:49 |
| wieshka | i have to pslit /boot partition out of array | 21:49 |
| wieshka | or ubuntu & grub 2 will recognize it ? | 21:49 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper, oh, if its your browser causing the problem; im not sure, youll have to look at its logs and maybe check out its wiki or irc chan | 21:49 |
| Emanon | and if it makes you feel better lucenut i have a ton of repos and i dont have mplex either | 21:50 |
| Emanon | what did you need it for? | 21:50 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: Well, earlier it was everything. Pidgin, audacious, Evolution, nothing would resolve...I'm starting to think it's an external issue with my ISP... | 21:50 |
| Emanon | wieshka: /boot must be separate | 21:50 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: Except the other machines on the network never have troubles. :\ | 21:51 |
| wieshka | Emanon: so i need to create /boot on sda only or on sdb also ? | 21:51 |
| lucenut | OK, what's another way to burn a avi to a dvd besides Brasero? | 21:51 |
| wieshka | and what about swap ? | 21:51 |
| trojan_spike | wieshka, that can only be done with onboard or PCI raid card | 21:51 |
| Emanon | and wieshkayou know the ubuntu alt cd can make raids during the install you dont have to create it from a live disk like that | 21:51 |
| Ganesh_R | Hi Are there any ubuntu applications to access Exchange 2007? | 21:51 |
| wieshka | Ganesh_R: maybe thunderbird has exchange support ? | 21:51 |
| Emanon | oh thats why lucenut? just install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should take care of your format issues | 21:52 |
| wieshka | Emanon: really switch to alt install just for RAID1? | 21:52 |
| lucenut | How do I do that? | 21:52 |
| warflyr | Ganesh_R is firefox connecting to outlook web access an acceptable answer? :) | 21:52 |
| wieshka | i have mdadm | 21:52 |
| Emanon | wieshka: thats how i do it | 21:52 |
| wieshka | after that only i have to chroot and install grub 2 on booth disks | 21:52 |
| Emanon | wieshka: on a lil 500g R1 myself | 21:52 |
| Ganesh_R | @wieshka, it has 2003 support but doesnt work for me in 2007. Do you know if there are any seperate plugins for it | 21:52 |
| wieshka | Emanon: i am worng ? | 21:52 |
| ilovefairuz | lucenut: mplex is in 'mjpegtools' | 21:52 |
| Emanon | about what sorry i missed something wieshka | 21:53 |
| wieshka | Ganesh_R: sorry - i prefer zimbra - no problems with zimbra :) | 21:53 |
| warflyr | Ganesh_R, im pretty sure any application other than outlook or win mobile active sync uses OWA to connect to exchange; | 21:53 |
| wieshka | Emanon: lets make summary .... | 21:53 |
| Emanon | oh no making raids in alt disk requires no manual commands | 21:53 |
| Ganesh_R | @warflyr: Unfortunately not :( I use too much email to rely on OWA | 21:53 |
| wieshka | i should split both disks in two partitions | 21:53 |
| Emanon | no wieshka | 21:53 |
| wieshka | one for raid 1 array one for boot | 21:54 |
| lucenut | It shows I have mjpegtools installed. | 21:54 |
| Emanon | you just start the alt disk pick the raid option and tell it what 2 disks to use | 21:54 |
| Emanon | it will handle the rest | 21:54 |
| Emanon | just make sure you have a separate /boot partition defined | 21:54 |
| Ganesh_R | Evolution used to work fine till 2003. But MSFT rewrote their OWA client to make it difficult for applications to write web clients | 21:54 |
| wieshka | alt install has install as ubuntu-server ? | 21:54 |
| Ganesh_R | causing lot of heartache to new Ubuntu users like me :( | 21:54 |
| wieshka | type of install methodic | 21:54 |
| Emanon | alt install is a desktop install sorry wieshka | 21:55 |
| edbian | Can I fit Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a 1Gb usb drive? | 21:55 |
| wieshka | so ok - lets download alt install ... :) | 21:55 |
| Emanon | yes edbian | 21:55 |
| edbian | Emanon, Well excellent :) | 21:55 |
| ilovefairuz | lucenut: is that for brasero? then it's gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse | 21:56 |
| Ganesh_R | @edbian, yes 1GB is enough | 21:56 |
| Emanon | wieshka: its fairly simple if you're used to cli installs it should be a breeze | 21:56 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | lucenut | 21:56 |
| ubottu | lucenut: 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 :) | 21:56 |
| darrend | erUSUL: I think my problem is a USB hub issue.. the card reader is in the side of the monitor.. unplugging and re-plugging the USB lead from the monitor to the USB controller in the PC makes everything visible again | 21:56 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: ...Ok...deus ex machina, I swear. Everything is working fine now...but I'll probably be back here if the issue crops up again. Before I go though, ever hear about P2P programs causing troubles like this? Perhaps even to other machines on a network? | 21:56 |
| wieshka | Emanon: i prefer debian for servers - and debian has very nice graphical install for server version, but cli basicly is the same | 21:56 |
| Emanon | as one who has set up encrypted lvm raids on slackware the alt disk for ubu is a breeze wieshka | 21:56 |
| wieshka | so ok - i will switch to alt install | 21:56 |
| wieshka | but main question was - about splitting HDDs | 21:57 |
| kbot6789 | ilove you tossed me a link on a stratigy game creater do you still have the link ? | 21:57 |
| warflyr | NoTownKasper, p2p using excessive upload bandwidth can cause tons of problem up to the bottleneck | 21:57 |
| ilovefairuz | !tab | kbot6789 | 21:57 |
| ubottu | kbot6789: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:57 |
| wieshka | so i have to pslit it identically in two partitions | 21:57 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: i gave you links for the actual game | 21:57 |
| Ganesh_R | is there a sepreate support channel for newbies to linux? I can see this channel is quite large | 21:57 |
| wieshka | one as /boot outside of array | 21:57 |
| wieshka | and one for array | 21:57 |
| lucenut | @ilovefairuz The only gstreamer I see in the software center says it's already installed. | 21:57 |
| wieshka | i am correct ? | 21:57 |
| Emanon | oh yes sorry you're right there | 21:57 |
| lucenut | GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin | 21:58 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb | 21:58 |
| kbot6789 | ahh for some reason they would not work hmm | 21:58 |
| wieshka | after that i can make LVM 2 on raid array | 21:58 |
| Exxon | Ganesh_R, relax you will get used to it. :) | 21:58 |
| Emanon | id say give /boot no less than 64m (i give mine 256 just in case) | 21:58 |
| edbian | Ganesh_R, #ubuntu-beginners | 21:58 |
| NoTownKasper | warflyr: Thought so...whenever someone around here boots up eMule or one of it's clones...the whole network goes down for the rest of us...I thought it was connected to my issue for a while, until a couple days ago. Alright, thanks for the info and the assistance. As always, the Ubuntu support can't be beat. :P | 21:58 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: what error are you getting when you try to install them? | 21:58 |
| pat|nG | what is lucid lynx? how to i know if im using lucid lynx? | 21:58 |
| wieshka | 256 mb should be more then inaf | 21:58 |
| Emanon | and lvm will let you define your swap on a single raid instead of making a separate raid for swap wieshka | 21:58 |
| wieshka | Emanon: aha :) | 21:59 |
| ilovefairuz | lucenut: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse | 21:59 |
| Ganesh_R | @pat|ng - Lucid Lynx is Ubuntu 10.04 | 21:59 |
| kbot6789 | wrong architecture im running 64 bit | 21:59 |
| Emanon | wieshka: or you can do what i did dont make swap partition just make swap file | 21:59 |
| wieshka | Emanon: also the solution | 21:59 |
| * NoTownKasper has paid hundreds of dollars to "the other guys" for support that was never this helpfull...you guys rock. Adios. | 21:59 | |
| Emanon | since with swap file you can easily change swap size on the fly | 21:59 |
| kbot6789 | i donot know if thares a 64 bit version | 21:59 |
| Emanon | just swapoff dd to new size swapon | 21:59 |
| wieshka | Emanon: isnt swap as file performance hit ? | 21:59 |
| chadwin | hi guys!!!!! | 22:00 |
| Emanon | not very much if any anymore | 22:00 |
| Emanon | least what i heard | 22:00 |
| Emanon | !hi | chadwin | 22:00 |
| ubottu | chadwin: 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! | 22:00 |
| kbot6789 | i told you ilove i got no idea what im doing ju7st trying to find a decent game | 22:00 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: for 64bit: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb | 22:00 |
| Charbel | hi | 22:00 |
| wieshka | and one more question - how stable is ext4 ? or better choose ext3 for production ? | 22:00 |
| edbian | wieshka, ext4 is stable now. | 22:00 |
| Ganesh_R | Is there any way to decode AVI files to MP4 format in Linux. I use Handbrake on windows but they dont supply binaries for Linux | 22:00 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: when addressing someone, type the first few letters and press tab | 22:01 |
| Charbel | how can i install paltalk on ubuntu 10 | 22:01 |
| ilovefairuz | Ganesh_R: ffmpeg | 22:01 |
| kbot6789 | hmm | 22:01 |
| kbot6789 | /tmp/freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. | 22:01 |
| edbian | kbot6789, Do you have 64 bit arch? | 22:01 |
| Ganesh_R | ok i will try to install this using apt-get | 22:01 |
| edbian | kbot6789, How are you opening it? | 22:02 |
| Ganesh_R | hope its easy... | 22:02 |
| wieshka | hmmmmm i have one more problem. ..... i have feeling that alt disk will not recognize my network interface | 22:02 |
| edbian | Ganesh_R, apt-get is easy | 22:02 |
| Exxon | Ganesh_R, devede will be better option :) | 22:02 |

| kbot6789 | yeah i have 64 bit | 22:02 |
| edbian | kbot6789, Did the download complete? | 22:03 |
| wieshka | Ganesh_R: about ffmpeg: installing from apt-get you will not get H264 & VP8 support | 22:03 |
| kbot6789 | no | 22:03 |
| wieshka | so to gain better video quality you have to compile it | 22:03 |
| kbot6789 | yeah the download is on my desktop | 22:03 |
| Ganesh_R | Thanks Emanon, I am not sure of how to install from this location | 22:03 |
| edbian | kbot6789, Can the archive manager open it? | 22:03 |
| jocrawfo | hey guys is there a setting i have to change in Ubuntu to allow bluetooth devices to wake my system from sleeping? | 22:03 |
| ilovefairuz | Ganesh_R: ffmpeg is a command line tool, use http://www.miksoft.net/products/mmc_1.6.1_i386.deb if you want a graphical interface | 22:04 |
| jocrawfo | i ask because i installed ubuntu 10.04 on a macbook pro and want to use my external display | 22:04 |
| Emanon | oh sorry that was the full sources list entry | 22:04 |
| Charbel | hi, how can i install paltalk on ubuntu 10 ? | 22:04 |
| jocrawfo | but closing the lid puts the system to sleep >) | 22:04 |
| Emanon | just add everything from deb onward to sources.list | 22:04 |
| Ganesh_R | thanks ilovefairuz, i am installing this now | 22:04 |
| Emanon | that is with all warnings about ppas and whatnot | 22:04 |

| kbot6789 | no ed i tried it just extracts it | 22:04 |
| kbot6789 | i tried ark no luck | 22:05 |
| edbian | kbot6789, sudo dpkg -i <packageName>.deb | 22:05 |
| edbian | kbot6789, Should give more output about why it isn't working. If it works the package will be installed. | 22:05 |
| kbot6789 | ok | 22:05 |
| edbian | kbot6789, The fact that ark can open it means the file is fine. That's all ark is supposed to do. | 22:05 |
| edbian | kbot6789, yeah | 22:05 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: you should NOT extract deb packages, i gave you the command to install it, put them in your home directory and do: sudo gdebi freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb | 22:05 |

| FalsAlarm | which file do I edit to enable login and password authentication type? | 22:06 |
| kbot6789 | ok brb then | 22:06 |
| Ganesh_R | Charbel: I am not sure, but can you try this http://www.locohacker.net/Paltalk_Programs/Paltalk_Download/Gaim-pt_1.5.0_Paltalk_Linux_L197.html | 22:06 |
| Ganesh_R | its a Gaim plugin | 22:06 |
| jakegub | mgolisch: I'm back and gptsync is saying no GPT partition table present and the MBR partition table is invalid | 22:06 |
| edbian | Ganesh_R, gaim? Does that exist anymore? It's pidgin now | 22:07 |
| jocrawfo | anyone know? | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | 22:07 | |
| Charbel | Ganesh_R, thx i will check it | 22:07 |
| wieshka | Emanon: hmmm - then ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso is that what i have to install ? | 22:07 |
| Emanon | thats the one i use wieshka | 22:08 |
| wieshka | ok - looks good - becouse net install will not work on my motherboard | 22:08 |
| ilovefairuz | Charbel: did you try installing it using wine? | 22:08 |
| ilovefairuz | !wine | Charbel | 22:08 |
| ubottu | Charbel: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 22:08 |
| wieshka | iso size says, it has driver packages :) | 22:08 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: are you there still? | 22:09 |
| Charbel | ilovefairuz, i love her too hahaha no man i didn't try to install it using wine | 22:09 |
| Ganesh_R | Charbel: Some people say that paltalk on wine hangs a lot | 22:09 |
| wieshka | what is hat paltalk ? | 22:09 |
| wieshka | that | 22:09 |
| wieshka | what it stands for ? | 22:10 |
| Charbel | yes i read that while i was googling | 22:10 |
| Ganesh_R | wieshka: Its a kind of IM i think | 22:10 |
| kbot6789 | hmm says file not found | 22:10 |
| Emanon | yup the alt is the full install not networked | 22:10 |
| jakegub | So My ubuntu installation is not recognize my working Windows 7 partition. | 22:10 |
| uLinux | hello! | 22:11 |
| Emanon | !hi | uLinux | 22:11 |
| ubottu | uLinux: 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! | 22:11 |
| jakegub | I'm on a notebook with a single hard drive and space already partitioned out for my ubuntu installation | 22:11 |
| wieshka | Ganesh_R: looks like a software chatroullete.com :D | 22:11 |
| ilovefairuz | Charbel: haha, you should give it a try, the gnu/linux plugin is from 2005 and doesn't seem to be maintained any longer | 22:11 |
| geekphreak | good luck jake | 22:11 |
| Exxon | jakegub, did you use wubi for installation ? | 22:11 |
| uLinux | I'm gonna delete Windows XP partitio then how can I use that space on Ubuntu? | 22:11 |
| uLinux | partition | 22:11 |
| jakegub | No, using the ubuntu iso on a bootable USB | 22:11 |
| Charbel | hmmmm ok | 22:12 |
| Charbel | i will try both | 22:12 |
| kbot6789 | ilovefairuz, says file not found and i put it in home like you said | 22:12 |
| geekphreak | uLinux: dual boot, dont delete partitions :) | 22:12 |
| Emanon | uLinux: you have ubuntu are going to delete windows and want to expand ubuntu to fill the space? | 22:12 |
| FalsAlarm | how do I set a password for the default ubuntu user? | 22:12 |
| Charbel | ilovefairuz, ur lebanese right ? | 22:12 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: type 'ls' ... do you see the files? | 22:12 |
| asdfgh | hi | 22:12 |
| uLinux | Emanon: exactly | 22:12 |
| wieshka | uLinux: so you want to delete windows partition and use it in ubuntu ? | 22:12 |
| uLinux | yes | 22:12 |
| geekphreak | FalsAlarm: is home encrypted? | 22:12 |
| wieshka | !passwd | FalsAlarm | 22:12 |
| uLinux | I wont use Windows anymore | 22:12 |
| kbot6789 | ilovefairuz, yeah i see it | 22:13 |
| Emanon | uLinux: id say install ubuntu from scratch its safer but if you must expand the existing drive try it from a live disk | 22:13 |
| === benster is now known as _benster | ||
| Ganesh_R | uLinux: I wouldnt either after using Ubuntu, except that all my development happens on it :( | 22:13 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: pastebin the command you're using and the output of 'ls' | 22:13 |
| Emanon | just expand the ubuntu partition from the live disk's partition manager (gparted/wahtever) | 22:13 |
| ilovefairuz | !paste | kbot6789 | 22:13 |
| ubottu | kbot6789: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 22:13 |
| uLinux | Ganesh_R: I just used it for gaming | 22:13 |
| Emanon | but i still say do a fresh install | 22:13 |
| jakegub | Exxon: Gparted doesn't recognize the partitions, but Disk Utility does | 22:13 |
| FalsAlarm | FalsAlarm, i do not know if home is encrypted | 22:13 |
| uLinux | Emanon: i'd have to make backup of everything too much work | 22:14 |
| Ganesh_R | ya gaming support on Linux could be better i guess | 22:14 |
| kbot6789 | ilove sudo gdebi freecraft 1.18-2.2 amd64.deb fcmp 1.18.20030311-2 alldeb | 22:14 |
| VCoolio | uLinux: reformat the partition with gparted to eg. ext4, change the fstab line if you have it so it will be mounted right and done; you'll still have a separate partition but won't need a fresh install | 22:14 |
| geekphreak | FalsAlarm: do a df -h , see anything which says .Private ? | 22:14 |
| Emanon | ok then try your luck expanding it but just know you may lose everything anyways | 22:14 |
| Emanon | or use it as a separate partition i suppose | 22:14 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: why the missing dashes? '-' | 22:14 |
| Exxon | jakegub, Gparted should detect fat32 file system. | 22:14 |
| wieshka | Emanon: why extend if you can just mount it | 22:14 |
| FalsAlarm | geekphreak, no | 22:14 |
| wieshka | and forget about it | 22:15 |
| kbot6789 | ok let me try this again this computer hates me | 22:15 |
| Emanon | wieshka: cause i like continuous filesystems not multiple | 22:15 |
| jakegub | Exxon: Win7 is on NTFS though. I had this same setup before I upgraded my hard drive | 22:15 |
| Exxon | jakegub, Gparted should detect fat32 /NTFS | 22:15 |
| Emanon | (even if i separate / /usr and /home for obvious reasons) | 22:15 |
| geekphreak | FalsAlarm: then its not, just open your ubutnu deskop, click prefrences,then about me, change from there | 22:15 |
| wieshka | Emanon: isnt extending only for LVM enabled partitions ? | 22:15 |
| uLinux | I just want to delete Win Xp and then expand Ubuntu size | 22:15 |
| Ganesh_R | Is there a way to make applications start from the terminal? | 22:16 |
| wieshka | or single ext3/4 also support extend ? | 22:16 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: type the first few letters of the file name (like 'free') and press tab for auto-completion | 22:16 |
| Ganesh_R | Chrome doesnt start from the terminal. It says command not found | 22:16 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: as in? | 22:16 |
| Emanon | no wieshka you can expand other fs's its just not as sure to not screw everything up | 22:16 |
| FalsAlarm | geekphreak, i dont use a gui, just the CLI hehe | 22:16 |
| Emanon | lvm its a feature other fs's its a possibility | 22:16 |
| geekphreak | failure: passwd username , for command | 22:16 |
| jakegub | Exxon: Yeah, that's what I thought, but it doesn't. If I open Disk Utility it finds the drive and all three partitions on it. (100mb windows "swap", 200Gb Win7, and 50Gb unallocated) | 22:16 |
| jocrawfo | someone here must know this answer..... Is there a way to connect an external display to my macbook pro, close the lid and have the external display become the primary display? This is the result you get when running Windows/Mac so I am sure there is a way to do this in Ubuntu I am just not sure how. The closest I got was my laptop screen being on while the lid was closed but that will just burnout the lcd when the extern | 22:16 |
| jocrawfo | al is being used. I also have to mirror displays to use that method. | 22:16 |
| Ganesh_R | Firefox , pidgin can be started by typing the name in the terminal. But Chrome doesnt start like that. | 22:16 |
| VCoolio | Ganesh_R: try chrome-browser or something, type 'chrom' then hit tab to let it autocomplete, or 'apropos chrome' | 22:17 |
| jocrawfo | !external | 22:17 |
| Emanon | uLinux: then use a live disk's partition manager to do so | 22:17 |
| FalsAlarm | ok i got it, thanks geekphreak | 22:17 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: its chromium-browser on linux, use that | 22:17 |
| kbot6789 | on | 22:17 |
| axisys | how do I burn a iso inot a usb drive ? it is not ubuntu iso | 22:17 |
| wieshka | Ganesh_R: why you need to start chrome fro mterminal ? | 22:17 |
| Exxon | jakegub, use the unallocated as NTFS from windows and install ubuntu on that drive. | 22:17 |
| Emanon | axisys: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 22:17 |
| Ganesh_R | I like using the terminal more | 22:17 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 22:17 |
| warflyr | Emanon i was just pasting that lawl | 22:17 |
| warflyr | well actually | 22:18 |
| warflyr | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/ | 22:18 |
| axisys | Emanon: thanks.. let me check it out | 22:18 |
| jakegub | Exxon: You're saying boot back into windows (I'm on linux liveCD right now) and format the unallocated space as NTFS and re-run the installer? | 22:18 |
| kbot6789 | ilovefairuz, i think it locked up my bash | 22:18 |
| uLinux | Emanon: Ubuntu 10.04 cd= | 22:18 |
| uLinux | ? | 22:18 |
| wieshka | uLinux: how big is your ubuntu and windows aprtitions ? | 22:18 |
| geekphreak | hey warflyr :d | 22:18 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: meaning? | 22:18 |
| warflyr | hey | 22:18 |
| Emanon | i use the multiboot to make multi-iso toolkit thumbdrive for my computer repair work warflyr | 22:18 |
| Ganesh_R | geekphreak: It doesnt recognize my existing chrome install. Is that because i didnt install from ubuntu package repositoy? | 22:18 |
| Emanon | uLinux: that should work | 22:18 |
| kbot6789 | nevermind i see what you were doing | 22:18 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: i think i found the issue, not sure | 22:18 |
| Emanon | long as it's the live version | 22:18 |
| jocrawfo | anyone??? | 22:18 |
| warflyr | Emanon same here, ive got like 10 isos on it including ubuntu and win7 ;) | 22:18 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: got from google site? | 22:18 |
| uLinux | wieshka: windows partition is like 30 gb.. small and ubuntu is huge | 22:18 |

| Ganesh_R | geekphreak: yes. Is there a way to create a shortcut for it? | 22:19 |
| ubottu | kbot6789, please see my private message | 22:19 |
| Exxon | jakegub, so u are trying to dual boot, that what it is. :) | 22:19 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: dont use that, use chromium-brwser instead , it is same minus loopholes from google | 22:19 |
| axisys | Emanon: that one looks like a exe file | 22:19 |
| axisys | Emanon: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer-1.7.9.7.exe | 22:19 |
| axisys | i need one for ubuntu | 22:19 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: can i pm? | 22:19 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: and why are you pasting this? | 22:19 |
| jakegub | Exxon: Yeah, I forgot to mention that. This has worked for me in the past. The fact that Ubuntu doesn't see the partitions any more is the mystery | 22:19 |
| kbot6789 | because i thought you wanted me to | 22:20 |
| geekphreak | warflyr: i think i found the issue | 22:20 |
| uLinux | Emanon: but how do I use live cd if I have Ubuntu already installed | 22:20 |
| Ganesh_R | geekphreak: Leaving chrome apart, is there a way to move our applications to run directly from the terminal? | 22:20 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: i said type 'free' and press TAB (without pressing Enter) to autocomplete the file name | 22:20 |
| Emanon | axisys: yea it runs on windows (sorry) | 22:20 |
| geekphreak | after updating samba, error has gone, so i am guessing it was loophole | 22:20 |
| axisys | Emanon: yep.. need one for ubuntu | 22:20 |
| wieshka | Ganesh_R: just call them from terminal | 22:20 |
| kbot6789 | does not do anything | 22:21 |
| Emanon | uLinux: you dont have to install from the live disk just run it and resize the partition then go back to your system | 22:21 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: create an alias for full path | 22:21 |
| wieshka | in case of ssh you need to export DISPLAY="" with correct variable | 22:21 |
| ilovefairuz | kbot6789: pastebin the output of 'ls' | 22:21 |
| Ganesh_R | geekphreak: oh is there a command to do it? | 22:21 |
| Emanon | axisys: might try unetbootin | 22:21 |
| uLinux | Emanon: using gparted' | 22:21 |
| uLinux | ? | 22:21 |
| axisys | Emanon: k | 22:21 |
| Emanon | yes uLinux | 22:21 |
| uLinux | Emanon: but i cant install gparted and do it | 22:22 |
| uLinux | *can | 22:22 |
| Emanon | unetbootin should be in your repos axisys | 22:22 |
| uLinux | why do i need live cd | 22:22 |
| geekphreak | Ganesh_R: add alias chrome=/path in you $home/.bashrc | 22:22 |
| wieshka | uLinux: its becouse booting from live cd, your HDD stays unmounted, so you can use live cd gparted fully | 22:22 |
| Emanon | because you cant resize the disk you're on | 22:22 |
| Emanon | cause you're on it | 22:22 |
| uLinux | oh | 22:22 |
| Ganesh_R | ok i will try it. Thanks a lot guys!! 3AM here got to get some sleep | 22:22 |
| Emanon | it has to be unmounted to alter its size like that | 22:22 |
| geekphreak | i think warflyr left | 22:23 |
| uLinux | so I delete XP partition, boot from Live Cd and use gparted to fill the space | 22:23 |
| wieshka | you can just boot live cd | 22:23 |
| Emanon | you can delete the xp on the live disk too | 22:23 |
| Emanon | either way | 22:23 |
| wieshka | and delete xp from live disk | 22:23 |
| Emanon | but yes basically that uLinux | 22:24 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | wieshka | 22:24 |

| Somelauw | Should I install Silverlight on ubuntu? | 22:24 |
| Emanon | Somelauw: moonlight is the linux port | 22:24 |
| l337ingDisorder | Hi, can anyone give me a hand with vnc4server on ubuntu 10.04 ? I have it working, but when I connect it seems to create a new gnome-session instead of just connecting me to the already active session (ie, all the windows I have open don't show up, it looks like a fresh login) | 22:25 |
| uLinux | wieshka Emanon usually I use XP cd to delete XP partition I never did it using gparted where can I find a guide | 22:25 |
| wieshka | fuck, why unetbootin isnt ported to MAC OS X - now i have to find where to use it on | 22:25 |
| Somelauw | Emanon, does it work for all websites? | 22:25 |
| tim__ | Im trying to setup wpa_supplicant over ssh so I'm connected via eth0 but I want to get wlan0 working can some one help? http://pastebin.com/WWnTj3rg | 22:25 |
| jocrawfo | well i guess it's not possible to do outside of the Nvidia utility, just have to turn the internal display resolution to Off while i am connected to an external | 22:25 |
| Emanon | Somelauw: i dont know its in dev but i hear some good things | 22:26 |
| wieshka | uLinux: you will have to just delete partition, where win xp is installed | 22:26 |
| Somelauw | Does it work for?: http://collegerama.tudelft.nl/mediasite/SilverlightPlayer/Default.aspx? | 22:26 |
| jocrawfo | what a pain in the rear though, would be nice to have the internal display turn off when the lid closed bleh | 22:26 |
| Emanon | uLinux: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ | 22:26 |
| uLinux | wieshka: and then grub is fixed automatically too? | 22:26 |
| wieshka | uLinux: and you can save time - do it from gparted, not booting win xp disk also | 22:26 |
| uLinux | ye | 22:26 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | hey i need help... when i boot the ubuntu live cd it goes to a black screen | 22:26 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | and ive tryed wubi also | 22:27 |
| ilovefairuz | tim__: pgrep wpa_supplicant | 22:27 |
| antIP | Does anyone here use Rythmbox with Rockbox? | 22:27 |
| warflyr | thebotdied[ubunt when that hapens to me; i try a different ubuntu version o.0 | 22:27 |
| Roasted | any clues on how to get rid of video tearing? Nvidia 9600GT... | 22:27 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | well i dont want to be stuck on 9.04 | 22:27 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | that was the last i could run | 22:27 |
| l337ingDisorder | thebotdied[ubunt: you could try 10.10 beta | 22:27 |
| tim__ | ilovefairuz: theres two processes running | 22:28 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | is there a torrent for it? | 22:28 |
| l337ingDisorder | thebotdied[ubunt: the official 10.10 release will be out in a month | 22:28 |
| ilovefairuz | tim__: killall wpa_supplicant | 22:28 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | so thats a no | 22:28 |
| tim__ | ilovefairuz: yup | 22:28 |
| edbian | I installed ubuntu netbook edition to a USB drive but when I boot it one of the partitions on the HDD is mounted at /cdrom (I don't know why) and I try to unmount it with umount which won't work so I throw it the lazy flag and it finally lets me but when the installer starts in crashes every time! | 22:29 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | i like torrents cuz i can get a 1.6mb/s download easily | 22:29 |
| l337ingDisorder | thebotdied[ubunt: yeah there should be a torrent for it | 22:29 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | for 10.10beta? | 22:29 |
| l337ingDisorder | thebotdied[ubunt: another nice thing about torrents is built-in checksums so no possibility of data corruption during xfer | 22:29 |
| uLinux | wieshka: gparted will fill the space or just reformat the old xp partition? | 22:29 |
| thebotdied[ubunt | yep | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | thebotdied[ubunt: nice name | 22:30 |

| l337ingDisorder | (the extra bit was hiding under the covers) | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | thebotdied[ubunt: 9.04 is one of the best releases, it will run out of support at the end of next month, 10.10 final will come out on Sunday the 10th next month, and well if that won't work on your computer, I expect some other distro would, and probably not really a good idea for you to get 10.10 just yet | 22:32 |
| Emanon | not really uLinux thats why i suggested fresh install | 22:32 |
| ilovefairuz | tim__: that means it's running | 22:32 |
| Emanon | it usually works fine but occasionally resizing a partition can corrupt data on the partition | 22:32 |

| l337ingDisorder | nods | 22:34 |
| Emanon | l337ingDisorder: awesome handle dude | 22:34 |
| l337ingDisorder | (though this close to release time you can be pretty confident in its stability) | 22:34 |
| l337ingDisorder | Emanon: heheh thanks :) | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: not quite | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: also there was a Unity update recently that caused a white screen for example | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | pspfreak: if you want to get it a bit early, I would suggest the release candidate thats 30th September | 22:35 |
| Kaspi | greetings | 22:35 |
| l337ingDisorder | sebsebseb: fair enough.. in my experience the last month or two before releases, the betas have been quite stable (actually I have fairly run-of-the-mill hardware and generally even alpha releases are pretty stable on my gear) | 22:35 |
| Megazutten | hey | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: sounds about right really, but even so, not meant to recommend them to users that aren't that expereinced yet, and I get the impression that pspfreak is one of those | 22:36 |
| Emanon | afk a bit bbl | 22:36 |
| l337ingDisorder | sebsebseb: fair enuf, just noticed him saying he didn't want to be stuck with a <10 version | 22:37 |
| l337ingDisorder | ultimately though, there should be a reason the 10.04 disc boots black | 22:37 |
| warflyr | i used 8.0x beta up until a month ago o.0 | 22:37 |
| Galeo | Hi everyone. I'm kinda noob with IRC, so sorry for erveything if I don't get it fast enough. I'm looking for someone who could help me use Unetbootin on a IBM, so basically go from Windows to Linux with a USB stick. Can anyone tell me if I'm at the right place, and if yes, can anyone help me ? | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | pspfreak: 9.04 is awesome (except for a tiny little feature that I didn't like) | 22:37 |
| l337ingDisorder | I suspect it's due to the fact that the 10.04 release was the first to abandon the ANSI boot menu and just boot straight to gnome for the installer... | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | warflyr: 8.10 is a awesoem unsupported release, 8.04 is still good | 22:37 |
| edbian | I cannot unmount a partition on my hdd | 22:37 |
| aeon-ltd | Galeo: if you want ubuntu, yes its the right place | 22:38 |
| edbian | I tried to umount /dev/sda2 on my system. Can't unmount it. I tried fuser mount and killed the process. No luck. | 22:38 |
| pspfreak | hey you gave me the 64 bit version twise | 22:38 |
| Galeo | Yes, I do. ^^ | 22:38 |
| gpmidi_wrk | I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped.

Other than that there are no relivent logs. Nat policy: http://pastebin.com/yAE8cE24 | 22:38 |
| l337ingDisorder | Galeo: you can just install Ubuntu to the USB stick.. then you can put the stick in any windows pc and it should boot to linux | 22:38 |
| wieshka | sebsebseb: agree - i use 8.10 for vital production cases | 22:38 |
| l337ingDisorder | pspfreak: rofl sorry, just a sec | 22:38 |
| ilovefairuz | Galeo: what problems are you having when trying to use unetbootin ? | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: there you are recommending a development version, to someone who can't seem to find the correct version for their computer hmm | 22:39 |
| l337ingDisorder | pspfreak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 22:39 |
| pspfreak | thx | 22:39 |
| sebsebseb | pspfreak: Why don;'t you want to be on 9.04? | 22:39 |
| l337ingDisorder | that's a good point - 9.04 is pretty solid | 22:39 |
| sebsebseb | pspfreak: 9.04 is one of the best versions of Ubuntu | 22:39 |
| aeon-ltd | Galeo: unetbootin is pretty straight forward, plug in usb(make sure its empty or formatted), start unetbootin select ubuntu (32 or 64 bit) or you can download the iso you want and use it, select what letter the usb stick is and just start the process | 22:39 |
| rolandpish | How can I "safe" extract a wifi usb dongle? | 22:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | 9.10 was a bit of a let-down for me, i went back to 9.04 until 10.04 hit beta | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: yeah 9.10 was a let down for many | 22:40 |
| Galeo | ilovefairuz: well, it just doesn't recognize the program | 22:40 |
| edbian | Any help unmounting a device? | 22:40 |
| wieshka | edbian: what device ? | 22:40 |
| ilovefairuz | rolandpish: try: poff | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: try ##linux ? | 22:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | sebsebseb: actually 8.10 was a bit of a let-down too... I guess the ubu devs just do better work in the summer heheh | 22:40 |
| l337ingDisorder | werrr | 22:41 |
| l337ingDisorder | better work in the winter, that is | 22:41 |
| ilovefairuz | Galeo: what's the exact error you get? | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: no 8.10 is really the last properly good version of Ubuntu, but explaining why, would be off topic for in here | 22:41 |
| l337ingDisorder | (I guess the ubu devs just do better drugs in the summer heheheh) | 22:41 |
| dlublink | how do I determine the driver used for eth0 ? | 22:41 |

| rolandpish | ilovefairuz, thanks. As root or as a normal user? | 22:41 |
| pspfreak | :p | 22:41 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, I will | 22:41 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | edbian | 22:41 |
| ubottu | edbian: 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 ..." | 22:41 |
| h00k | Try to keep the conversation on topic of support, please :) | 22:41 |
| jocrawfo | someone here must know this answer..... Is there a way to connect an external display to my macbook pro, close the lid and have the external display become the primary display? This is the result you get when running Windows/Mac so I am sure there is a way to do this in Ubuntu I am just not sure how. The closest I got was my laptop screen being on while the lid was closed but that will just burnout the lcd when the extern | 22:41 |
| jocrawfo | al is being used. I also have to mirror displays to use that method. | 22:41 |
| wieshka | sebsebseb: l337ingDisorder heh i still have server with 6.04 running - and it works like a charm :) | 22:41 |
| Kaspi | rolandpish: view your devices at Places > Computer, click on the device you want to disconnect with the right mouse button and select "Disconnect" or something | 22:41 |
| wieshka | on of the servers, correction :) | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: 8.10 really was one of the best versions, shame about the no longer supported, as a result | 22:42 |
| jocrawfo | I turned the internal display off manually in the Nvidia configuration tool but that's a pain to do all the time | 22:42 |
| ilovefairuz | sebsebseb: Ubuntu IS GNU/Linux.. why are you directing people there? | 22:42 |
| gpmidi_wrk | I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped. I have interfaces up for each IP so it should be ARPing for the IPs. Tcpdumps show the SYN coming in but not leaving. Dmesg only shows rp_filter noise from a misconfigured device on a diff subnet. Other than that there are no relivent logs. Nat policy: http://pastebin.com/yAE8cE24 Ubuntu 10 | 22:42 |
| ilovefairuz | rolandpish: probably as root | 22:42 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, wieshka I have a netbook. I'm installing ubuntu netbook edition on it. When I boot up (from the usb drive) /dev/sda2 (my windows xp partition) is mounted at /cdrom. I can't unmount it. I tried using fusermount and killing the process. No such luck. The installer crashes everytime I think because of this issue. I am not new to linux. | 22:42 |
| Galeo | actually, what I have is the following : I tried putting off all starting devices except removable medias, cause it wouldn't let the USB start on its own. The prob is now that I just get a 1962: No operating system found. Press F1 to repeat boot sequence. I noticed there were a few problems with IBM's in general, but it's probably me | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | ilovefairuz: since he wasn't being answered here, plus I know him on here, so hes fine getting help in ##linux when this channel won't do it for him | 22:42 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: lol right on... I moved to CentOS for all my server deployments quite some time ago.. | 22:42 |
| rolandpish | Kaspi, I'm under xubuntu and I cannot find the "Computer" place. | 22:43 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: i have software running what depends on ubuntu 6.04 :) | 22:43 |
| wieshka | only reason | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | ilovefairuz: also Ubuntu is actsaully, becoming well quite unlike other distros at the moment that use Gnome, but thats completly off topic for this channel | 22:43 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: for server i prefer debian | 22:43 |
| aeon-ltd | Galeo: if you've got any other media it will boot from look up http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html | 22:43 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: what error message does umount report? | 22:43 |
| wieshka | edbian: sorry, no ideas | 22:44 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: well if yer gonna run ubu server 6.04 is a good distro, a lot closer to straight deb than any of the more recent distros | 22:44 |
| ilovefairuz | sebsebseb: you did not even ask for the details of the question | 22:44 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: and super-small memory footprint compared even to 8.04 | 22:44 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, /cdrom device is busy | 22:44 |
| Galeo | I'll read that, I try and I'm back aeon-ltd. Thx. ;) | 22:44 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, then it suggests lsof and fuser. | 22:44 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: as XEN domU it works perfectly :) | 22:44 |
| Kaspi | rolandpish: i don't know the xubuntu's interface, try looking for something similar | 22:45 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l; mount | 22:45 |
| maedox | edbian, lsof /cdrom | 22:45 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: yeah I have a couple colleagues who are 100% in the debian server camp.. All the servers I maintain are web application servers so CentOS seems to be the best option as it's pretty much centered around web hosting (gets package updates super fast, etc) | 22:45 |
| fedora_newb | I have hooked up another monitor to my laptop here and the screen for the laptop is all dark now...like realllyyy dim...anyone know how I can fix this? | 22:45 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: but for general-purpose servers deb seems to be a good standard for sure | 22:46 |
| jocrawfo | fedora_newb, try a fedora channel? | 22:46 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, I can't. This is on a different machine | 22:46 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: what i like in debian - the package will not be launched on repos if they will not be sure for 99% that it is stable | 22:46 |
| fedora_newb | Its ubuntu.... | 22:46 |
| jocrawfo | ;) | 22:46 |
| fedora_newb | I should change my nick...but too lazy lol | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: It's odd that your windows partition is mounted to /cdrom in the first place. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo blkid"? | 22:47 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: that tends to be the case with most distros.. CentOS is based on Red Hat so it has the benefit of commercial enterprises demanding faster updates through RHEL (which trickle down almost immediately to the CentOS world and the Fedora world) | 22:47 |
| edbian | maedox, lsof: two warning about tmpfs /cow and /home/ubuntu/.gvfs | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | fedora_newb: oh you started with Fedora? not really the best distro to start with, Ubuntu is good to start with, as well as a few others :) | 22:47 |
| rolandpish | Kaspi, ok, thanks a lot. I'll try first what ilovefairuz suggested, then look for that option. | 22:47 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: i am basicly running very very complicated web pages and somesoftware & scripts, so i even do not update, while i havent tested it on develope server | 22:47 |
| maedox | edbian, /home/ubuntu? are you on a live-cd? | 22:47 |
| wieshka | so fast updates isnt priority for me | 22:47 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, I can't pastebin anything. What do you want to know from mount? /dev/sda2 on /cdrom type fuseblk (standard options) | 22:47 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: that said, deb and centos are pretty equally-qualified as server environments :) | 22:47 |
| fedora_newb | sebsebseb...i started with ubuntu...but I played around with fedora a bit as well and thats when I started using irc | 22:48 |
| edbian | maedox, live usb. I said that | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | fedora_newb: oh ok | 22:48 |
| RockerBoy402 | Having problems with Ubuntu 9.10 and an Asus motherboard. Won't go to sleep after 30 minutes (as is set in power management) and when I do click the sleep button myself it sleeps and wakes right back up. Also, when computer is idle (or if I hit the sleep button) i have to rmmod b43 and modprobe b43 my wifi drivers...any advice? | 22:48 |
| maedox | edbian, ok, sorry. didn't notice. | 22:48 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: does it have internet access? sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and then: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit - .. and mount | pastebinit - | 22:48 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, Hang on a second | 22:48 |
| fedora_newb | anyone know how i can get the brightness back on my laptop screen though? The brightness level is all the way up on the laptop...so its an ubuntu thing | 22:48 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: yeah that's the awesome thing about cloud-based servers... for $11/mo you get a dedicated cloud server through rackspace.. then it's like 3 clicks to clone your server if you want to test any new dev project or updates... anything goes wrong, your main server is still untouched (don't even have to roll back snapshots) | 22:49 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: aha :) | 22:49 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, I'll get the target machine online and be right back. | 22:49 |
| sikilpaake | anybody know how to unzip something from a samba share? | 22:49 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: and rackspace has pre-built server images (equivalent to Amazon's AMI's) for Debian, Centos, RHEL, Ubuntu (a few versions), etc etc.. also windows servers (lord knows why) | 22:49 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: (heh that's my rackspace plug.. cause they're awesome) | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: I'm trying to figure out what device is being used to host your root fs. Normally with a unetbootin install that would be the flash drive (mounted to /cdrom) containing the squashfs image which would be mounted with unionfs for your actual root. | 22:50 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: all my virtual hosts are ~20-50 Gb size (external data storage) - so i just copy LVM partition and small edit in conf file - done - exact copy of develop server ready for tests | 22:50 |
| wieshka | ] | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: Why can't you use pastebin? | 22:50 |
| ilovefairuz | sikilpaake: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 22:50 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, I can now. | 22:50 |
| bfsd | I am trying to install the OTR plugin for pidgin, but i just don't get how to do it. I have downloaded pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz to download folder. Then i try "tar zxf pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz, but only get error message: "tar: pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory". What to do? | 22:50 |
| sikilpaake | ilovefairuz: thanks | 22:51 |
| b0tz | bfsd: i believe theres a .deb? | 22:51 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, ilovefairuz maedox What command do we want to see in a pasetbin? | 22:51 |
| pspfreak | im burning the iso now | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | b0tz: no you don't need a tar.gz its in the repo | 22:51 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: yea more or less the same process heheh.. LVM is the best thing since sliced bread... ;) | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | b0tz: then you enable the plugin in pidgin | 22:51 |
| b0tz | sebsebseb, i know, i alreaydh ave it installed | 22:51 |
| b0tz | bfsd is the one needin help | 22:51 |
| _Tristan | I've got lucid on a server and it won't connect to the network over ethernet. It doesn't even show an ethernet interface in /dev or ifconfig. What should I do? | 22:51 |
| edbian | command(s) | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: "mount" and "sudo blkid". | 22:52 |
| b0tz | bfsd: i think apt-get install pidgin-otr | 22:52 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: ofcorse seconf option is to use .img based vhosts, but it is a performace hit for I/O | 22:52 |
| rww | bfsd: install the "pidgin-otr" package from your preferred package manager (e.g.: sudo apt-get install pidgin-otr), then enable it from the plugins window. | 22:52 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: sudo fdisk -l; mount; sudo blkid; sudo lsof /cdrom | 22:52 |
| l337ingDisorder | _Tristan: it doesn't even show the 'lo' interface?? | 22:52 |
| _Tristan | l337ingDisorder: Yes | 22:52 |
| bfsd | thanks. will try | 22:52 |
| _Tristan | nothing else, though | 22:52 |
| wieshka | _Tristan: try manual mount | 22:53 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: I just have every web project separated on their own servers... then if one project starts chewing through bandwidth the audit trail is easy to follow | 22:53 |
| _Tristan | wieshka: sorry? What's that? | 22:53 |
| sikilpaake | ilovefairuz: i kind of want to do this sudo unzip "/home/verbatim/.gvfs/02_tuukulsuul on 192.168.1.103/03_web/wordpress-3.0.1.zip" -d /home/verbatim/Desktop/share/httpdocs/ | 22:53 |

| n0a1ias | hey guys i have a cableing question, anyone up for a pm on it? | 22:54 |
| l337ingDisorder | n0a1ias: best to ask in the chan | 22:55 |
| ilovefairuz | sikilpaake: cd to the directory ? | 22:55 |
| l337ingDisorder | n0a1ias: more chance of accurate reply, and more chance it can benefit someone else and save them having to ask the same question | 22:55 |
| erUSUL | !ask | n0a1ias | 22:55 |
| ubottu | n0a1ias: 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. :-) | 22:55 |

| sikilpaake | ilovefairuz: lemme try that | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | n0a1ias: so a hardware or networking issue? | 22:55 |

| n0a1ias | i have a plug, its like an RGB connector, and i need an adapter to Ethernet | 22:56 |
| wieshka | n0a1ias: isnt that serial ? | 22:57 |
| n0a1ias | i need to leave the male end of the plug alone | 22:57 |
| n0a1ias | and no its like this | 22:57 |
| n0a1ias | ... | 22:57 |
| erUSUL | n0a1ias: identify the connector first | 22:57 |

| edbian | ilovefairuz, Jordan_U weird isn't it? | 22:57 |
| l337ingDisorder | woah.. i've never heard of anyone patching rgb to ethernet... | 22:57 |
| l337ingDisorder | n0a1ias: what is this for? | 22:58 |
| n0a1ias | it carries video for a black and white security cam | 22:58 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, pid 371 is mount.ntfs btw | 22:58 |
| n0a1ias | im using the camera in an underwater ROV, and need the vesitility of ethernet | 22:58 |

| aeon-ltd | !who | Galeo | 22:58 |

| n0a1ias | http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/seafoxretrofit.html | 22:59 |
| n0a1ias | similiar to that | 22:59 |
| snake_ | How can I make it so my hard drive partitions show up on my desktop (like in mac os x) | 22:59 |
| n0a1ias | mount them, snake_ click places, then right click the partition and select mount | 22:59 |
| snake_ | uhh | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: See if you can umount /dev/sdb1. If you can I will be both less and more confused :) | 23:00 |
| snake_ | n0a1ias, no i mean my filesystem. | 23:00 |
| n0a1ias | oh, simply drag and drop snake_ | 23:01 |
| iter | n0a1ias: you have a composite signal out of the camera, and you want to run it to what exactly? | 23:01 |
| Exxon | hi | 23:01 |
| snake_ | n0a1ias, oh.. thx :) | 23:01 |
| n0a1ias | a computer, using his software | 23:01 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, Yep. NO problems there. | 23:01 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp no errors and it's in there. | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: *u*mount | 23:02 |
| iter | n0a1ias: and why not just use a composite video cable to a video ingest card on the computer ? | 23:02 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, /dev/sdb1 was never mounted until now. It is a 32 Mb flash drive. | 23:02 |
| n0a1ias | i don't have one, i already had the camera and im too broke to get one, hah | 23:02 |
| snake_ | nope didnt work. it won't allow me to drag / to the desktop (or make a link which is what i want) | 23:02 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: What USB drive did you boot from? | 23:03 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, O whoops. Pardon me. No it's not. It's the flash drive that I'm running ubunt ufrom | 23:03 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, sorry! | 23:03 |
| n0a1ias | try right clicking then copy | 23:03 |
| n0a1ias | try right clicking then copy snake_ | 23:03 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, Ok I umounted /dev/sdb1 | 23:03 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, The usb stick is now completely unmounted. | 23:03 |
| snake_ | n0a1ias, sorry but why would i want to copy the contents of my disk onto my desktop. | 23:04 |
| iter | n0a1ias: why not just run the composite video to a tv/monitor then? | 23:04 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, I'm assuming the OS I'm running now should crash? But it appears fine | 23:04 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, /dev/sda2 persists (course that's not a surprise right now). What is the point of unmounting the live USB? | 23:04 |
| n0a1ias | snake_, idk your the one who asked, and that would copy whatever partion link u selected | 23:04 |
| snake_ | n0a1ias, well i meant a link, sorry. | 23:05 |
| fedora_newb | Anyone know what it takes to brighten a laptop screen after connecting another monitor ? | 23:05 |
| n0a1ias | and iter his software is built on incorporating the video, | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | edbian: The point of umounting the USB is that it shouldn't be possible with the way unetbootin works, and it confirms that the current setup is actually reading a squashfs image from your windows partition rather than the flash drive. | 23:05 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, ! :) Brilliant! | 23:06 |
| iter | n0a1ias: getting composite video into a computer requires hardware | 23:06 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, You're the bestest. I actually was messing around with running the same image from unetbootin in windows. | 23:06 |
| iter | n0a1ias: you can't just magick it in there :) | 23:06 |
| n0a1ias | i can solder, but its such a thick cable, will it transfer to a single ethernet cable? | 23:06 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, I can now go back and prove to myself I'm running from the live USB (using the bios) | 23:06 |
| edbian | Jordan_U, I could kiss you! | 23:06 |
| n0a1ias | iter, nope, i skipped that class | 23:06 |
| edbian | It's so obvious now! | 23:06 |
| l337ingDisorder | n0a1ias: Check this: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Run-Composite-Video-Through-an-Ethernet-Jac/ | 23:07 |
| gpmidi_wrk | I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped. I have interfaces up for each IP so it should be ARPing for the IPs. Tcpdumps show the SYN coming in but not leaving. Dmesg only shows rp_filter noise from a misconfigured device on a diff subnet. Other than that there are no relivent logs. Nat policy: http://pastebin.com/yAE8cE24 Ubuntu 10 | 23:07 |
| n0a1ias | wow, thats an oddly specific link... | 23:07 |
| l337ingDisorder | n0a1ias: second hit from a google search for "composite to ethernet" | 23:08 |
| iter | l337ingDisorder: nice nick | 23:08 |
| * l337ingDisorder has mad google skills... as long as it's simple googling ;) | 23:08 | |
| l337ingDisorder | thanks iter :) | 23:08 |
| snake_ | How can I make it so my hard drive partitions show up on my desktop (like in mac os x) | 23:08 |
| * l337ingDisorder also has mad cooking skills as long as whatever I'm cooking comes out of a can | 23:08 | |
| iter | l337ingDisorder, n0a1ias: but once you have that video running over the cable what do you do with it | 23:09 |
| iter | not like you can just plug it into your NIC | 23:09 |
| n0a1ias | oh, i tryed that i thought... o well | 23:09 |
| n0a1ias | and http://www.homebuiltrovs.com/seafoxretrofit.html | 23:09 |
| jim | l337ingDisorder, you probably have mad learning skills too | 23:09 |
| n0a1ias | all the software is there iter | 23:09 |
| n0a1ias | also i looks like i can just solder the cable right to it. | 23:09 |
| bobstro | snake_: you mean just the icons for all drives? | 23:10 |
| n0a1ias | thanks | 23:10 |
| ZekeS | snake_: open then in Nautilus - they'll automount and the icons will show up | 23:10 |
| gartral | how do i add a new icon to UNRs desktop manually.? | 23:10 |
| l337ingDisorder | jim: I like to think so (well, when my 1337ing disorder isn't flaring up...) | 23:10 |
| iter | n0a1ias: sorry dude but video ingest requires some A->D conversion | 23:10 |
| snake_ | bobstro, yes. | 23:10 |
| edbian | I can't get it to clear that unetbootin image | 23:10 |
| iter | n0a1ias: what are you going to plug the other end of the rj45 into? | 23:10 |
| edbian | and I messed up the bootloader so I can't boot without a CD rom | 23:10 |
| n0a1ias | yea, its all on the sight | 23:10 |

| bfsd | I download python through "sudo apt-get install python" and get the message that i allready have the newst version. I have. But it's the newest 2. version. not 3.1 that i want. How do i download python 3.1.2? | 23:11 |
| n0a1ias | a computer, | 23:11 |
| gartral | how do i add a new icon to UNRs desktop manually? [this is typo fix | 23:11 |
| bobstro | snake_: only mounted, or all? | 23:11 |
| l337ingDisorder | bfsd: the version in the official repos isn't the newest version.. when you use apt-get it only compares your version to the official repo version. | 23:11 |
| l337ingDisorder | bfsd: hang on a sec.. | 23:12 |
| LjL | bfsd: sudo apt-get install python3 | 23:12 |
| l337ingDisorder | bfsd: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:12 |
| snake_ | bobstro, the hdd partitions i want to show up my desktop, are always mounted. becouses i edited my fstab so they auto mount. now i just want links on my deskttop. | 23:12 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: heh - video over ethernet .... last month i tested ethernet over office electricity - works pretty good :) | 23:12 |
| snake_ | bobstro, yes the mounted ones | 23:12 |
| bfsd | ubuntu netbook newest | 23:12 |
| Verminator | I'm having a lot of problems w/ ubuntu 10.04 (OO sluggish/locks up, didnt import macros, Empathy sometimes takes ~60%cpu, locks up, fullscreen games run at 100%cpu ad lock up the USB ports,monitor not detected correctly and so wont allow higher rez, etc). I'm trying to figure out if this is a pervasive ubuntu problem or if I messed up install or something? | 23:12 |
| bfsd | lingDIsorder, ljl thanks. will try. | 23:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: yea if you have clean lines that's an excellent way to avoid having to run cables and do wall-drops! X-10 was offering audio-over-electrical like a decade ago.. taht was pretty tight - plug your stereo into the wall, plug your speakers into the wall upstairs in the bedroom... | 23:13 |
| n0a1ias | but i might just have it go back to RYB at the top like u said, and use a generator, to power the moniter | 23:13 |
| gpmidi_wrk | Verminator: You probably need to install the graphics driver | 23:13 |
| bfsd | LjL how do i find what "repo" name it is for a program? | 23:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | bfsd: hmmm not sure about netbook but if it's the newest version then yea hopefully just apt-get install python3 should do it for ya | 23:13 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: mmmm, i am dreaming about video over electrisity - it will solve me lenty of problems | 23:14 |
| LjL | bfsd: "apt-cache search keywords" will help you find package names | 23:14 |
| ubudog | hi | 23:14 |
| rww | psh video over electricity. I use video over air. It is glorious. | 23:14 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: hmmm... that should be even easier to do than audio over electricy | 23:14 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: but yea rww is right, you can get wireless A/V sets now | 23:15 |
| Verminator | gpmidi_wrk, I was using an integrated vard w/ the nvidia driver, I recently upgraded to an invidia 6600LE and stillusing the nvidia driver. | 23:15 |
| gpmidi_wrk | electricty over air is even more fun...unless you have metal toilets | 23:15 |
| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: I don't think there's any full HDMI wireless a/v yet.. but won't be long | 23:15 |
| gpmidi_wrk | Verminator: all of those problems point to a lack of video accel (at least afaik). | 23:15 |
| aeon-ltd | gpmidi_wrk: lawl, faraday the toilets the new standard | 23:15 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: we have one guy at office who makes wireless a/v by him self - but it is SD only, max 480p | 23:15 |
| iter | n0a1ias: that guy uses a video ingest card for the video | 23:15 |
| l337ingDisorder | gpmidi_wrk: hahah yea I want a tesla coil on my roof | 23:15 |
| wieshka | i need at least 720p | 23:16 |
| bfsd | I am using ubuntu netbook. What are the main differences to common ubuntu? And why does ubntu give me an expected battery time of 3h while windows gives me well over 5? | 23:16 |

| l337ingDisorder | wieshka: yea that sounds about right | 23:16 |
| fedora_newb | any video wiz in here? | 23:16 |
| n0a1ias | oh, | 23:16 |
| gpmidi_wrk | Verminator: you have the non-free driver installed? | 23:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | root_: try #black-hats ;) | 23:16 |
| snake_ | root_, please tell me your not running xchat as root. | 23:16 |
| sslashes | i am running ubuntu 10.04; when i run "do-release-upgrade -d" to upgrade to maverick; i get the error "Can not run the upgrade. This usually is caused by a system were /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again."; problem is, i only have one partition - /tmp isn't mounted separate; full output available here: http://robfrawley.com/files/upgrade-out.txt; what is wrong? | 23:16 |
| aeon-ltd | bfsd: power consumption, unr is exactly the same as reg ubuntu but with a new gui (but still gnome) | 23:16 |
| root_ | yes i a | 23:16 |
| root_ | am | 23:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | oooooh | 23:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | what a target | 23:17 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: bascily all my linux work is around the video staff - so i have made plenty of experiments :) | 23:17 |
| snake_ | root_, oh, bt4 told me that was bad, i dont know why though. | 23:17 |
| Monotoko | root_....you fool | 23:17 |
| root_ | what? | 23:17 |
| snake_ | thats what i thought | 23:17 |
| Verminator | gpmidi_wrk, yes, the recomended prorpietary driver. | 23:17 |
| l337ingDisorder | snake_: it's because anyone who knows xchat exploits can now hack his system | 23:17 |
| aeon-ltd | root_: fail, for someone who intends to break encryption | 23:17 |
| fedora_newb | can anyone tell me how to get my monitor on my laptop brighter? Its really dim :( | 23:17 |
| gpmidi_wrk | Verminator: hmm, idk then, hopefully one of the other guys knows | 23:17 |
| l337ingDisorder | like... bad enough to run xchat as root, but to say so in a public channel... man oh man | 23:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | especially when looking for advice on hacking | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: This channel doesn't help with cracking wireless, also you shoudn't run IRC as root. | 23:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | too funny | 23:18 |
| snake_ | lol, its so obvious | 23:18 |
| aeon-ltd | l337ingDisorder: facepalms^10 | 23:18 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: does the laptop have a "function" (fn) key and possibly brightness + and - keys to go along with it? | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: uh what/ | 23:18 |
| Verminator | fedora_newb, yes usually a key combo on the laptop control brightness, usually specific to your laptop | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: why did that get sent to you? | 23:18 |
| Verminator | gpmidi_wrk, thx | 23:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | sebsebseb: I was wondering the same thing heheh | 23:18 |
| fedora_newb | sslashes, its all the way up | 23:18 |
| wieshka | heh, irc and exploits - sounds like a old times on windows :) | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: I guess since they left | 23:19 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: then how do you expect to brighten the display? if the backlight is as high as it can be, you are not going to get your display any brighter... | 23:19 |
| l337ingDisorder | man.. I'd love to see root_ hop into a channel where people would actually be willing to explain how to crack WPA, and mention that he's using xchat as root... rofl.. he'd be rooted faster than a dutch whore | 23:19 |
| sslashes | anyone know why do-release-upgrade is failing on me like this? | 23:19 |
| wieshka | l337ingDisorder: :D | 23:20 |
| fedora_newb | sslashes, well i hooked up another monitor to it and installed the nvidia driver...but now its darker than it was | 23:20 |
| fedora_newb | it was brighter earlier, now its just really dark... | 23:20 |
| maxwellscott | i'm getting "syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'" in line 7 .bashrc. lines 6-7 are: "if [[ -n "$PS1" ]]; then <br /> fi" any help? | 23:20 |
| snake_ | fedora_newb, is it them dcl lcds? | 23:20 |
| l337ingDisorder | root_: join #skript-kiddiez and tell them you're running xchat as root (and broadcast your IP to save them all a step too) | 23:20 |
| haywardgb | Hello peeps.. Anyone know how, using Ubuntu 10.04 , how to change the login screen.. and where to get the gdk2 screens ;) | 23:20 |
| fedora_newb | dcl lcd? not sure | 23:20 |
| aeon-ltd | sslashes: well i suppose at boot you could start without the noexec option | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | l337ingDisorder: maybe one of the many ignorant people, who use Backtrack 4 as a desktop OS, and so yeah root online for IRC. Yeah the type of people who don't reolize its for security penetration and such only, and just, because it was based on Ubuntu doesn't mean it should be used as a desktop OS. | 23:21 |
| fedora_newb | ^ snake_ | 23:21 |

| l337ingDisorder | haywardgb: Gnome menu -> System -> Administration -> Login screen | 23:21 |
| ZekeS | running irc as root? | 23:21 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: open up the nvidia control panel and change the brightness option then | 23:21 |
| snake_ | fedora_newb, oh, well if you dont see it anywhere on it then its not. | 23:21 |
| haywardgb | yeah, but it doesn't give you that option anymore.. :( | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | ZekeS: running IRC as root is a major security risk | 23:22 |
| fedora_newb | sslashes...didn't help...:/ | 23:22 |
| ZekeS | sebsebseb: i know | 23:22 |
| l337ingDisorder | ZekeS yea some kid came in a couple mins ago asking for help cracking WPA-PSK and he was using xchat as root | 23:22 |
| sslashes | aeon-ltd: my hosting provider is media temple and i am using the virtual linux (ve) setup - i don't have any control of boot options | 23:22 |
| fedora_newb | it changed on both of my displays, sslashes | 23:22 |
| ZekeS | It was a wtf reaction, tvtrope Flat What etc. | 23:22 |

| maxwellscott | awesome thank you :) | 23:26 |
| aeon-ltd | sslashes: dist-upgrade, but that only works on official releases | 23:26 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: the nvidia driver may have different brightness/contrast/gamma settings, so yeah - do you have 3d excelleration now? | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | jrib: oh your recommending root to be used in Ubuntu? for this kind of thing? interesting since your one of the o p s :D | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | maxwellscott: what is the purpose of that bash line? | 23:26 |
| l337ingDisorder | haywardgb: GLLUG isn't good enough for you? | 23:26 |
| MashTomato | jrib: aw, that sounds a little adventorous to me.. I guess I should just order a Ubuntu DVD from canonical (they're free for launchpad members, if I recall correctly) | 23:26 |
| gartral | haywardgb: just remember! always check your data for correctness! | 23:26 |
| l337ingDisorder | he's gone | 23:27 |
| === digitaltao is now known as digitaltao-food | ||
| jrib | MashTomato: well CDs are pretty cheap. The cd from canonical will take like 4-6 weeks. Even better, if you have a LoCo near you, they'll usually give you a disc | 23:27 |
| l337ingDisorder | hmmm... and so, too, should I be. | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: why do you want to re size it by the way? | 23:27 |
| sslashes | aeon-ltd: hmm... i'm stumped... i ran the upgrade on my laptop with no problem, but it just won't get past this point (see output here: robfrawley.com/files/upgrade-out.txt) on my server box | 23:27 |
| fedora_newb | sslashes, im not seeing no 3d acceleration in the nvidia control panel...but i did activate the current version ubuntu showed me | 23:27 |
| jrib | sebsebseb: hey I offered an alternative :) | 23:27 |
| MashTomato | jrib: yeah | 23:27 |
| maxwellscott | erUSUL: comment said it was to not do anything if running interactively; MashTomato's response seemed to fix it | 23:27 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: my /home is too small :P | 23:27 |
| wieshka | fuck .... i live in country where is one of the best network speeds globally - i even live in capital city, where optical cable connection isnt problem - but in my house - there is DSL only (10 mbit/sec) | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | jrib: well yeah, but you know the Big No Of Ubuntu, just like I do, don't use root :D use sudo instead, but yeah can't use sudo for everything root can do | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | !language | wieshka | 23:28 |
| ubottu | wieshka: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:28 |
| wieshka | sebsebseb: family friendly ? :) ok, anyway - sorry :) | 23:28 |
| gartral | wieshka: i wish i had 10 mbit/sec! | 23:29 |
| aeon-ltd | sslashes: can't you just wait for 10.10 to come out?, it may just be authentication error | 23:29 |
| aeon-ltd | sslashes: although you could try "mount -o remount exec /tmp" | 23:29 |
| === Eclectic is now known as Sovereign | ||
| aeon-ltd | sslashes: but thats just a guess | 23:29 |
| bobstro | wieshka: what would be 'normal' for your city? | 23:29 |
| guhcampos | I'm installing ubuntu with software raid, but it has been stuck for 20 minutes in formating /, at 33%... should I wait or try again? | 23:29 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: run "glxinfo|grep direct" in a terminal window; if it says "yes" you have direct rendering; if it says "no" you don't | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: if your going to do stuff with Linux partitions, it is the easiest to use a Live CD | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | maxwellscott: the line as written here does nothing. what i have in bashrc is « [ -z "$PS1" ] && return » | 23:30 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: yeah, i'm searching for a LoCo near my location, so I don't have to wait 4 weeks | 23:30 |
| dirijat | Could someone help me with the hyerogliphs in the terminal? I'm novice in Ubuntu (See details, please....http://paste.ubuntu.com/494968/) | 23:30 |
| MashTomato | that is, so I can order a DVD | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: that was an estimate | 23:30 |
| wieshka | gartral: yeah - but i pay ~30 $ for my internet - 10 mbit/sec, over the street they pay ~32$ for 50mb garanted, but mostly little bit under 100 mbit/sec | 23:30 |
| fedora_newb | sslashes: The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: it might only be like two or so weeks, if you order an offical CD | 23:30 |
| sslashes | aeon-ltd: thats whats crazy; I only have a root partition, and /tmp lives in that partition; /tmp isn't a separate partition | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: depending on where you are and such | 23:30 |
| === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather | ||
| MashTomato | yeah, I know, but you get the point :P | 23:30 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: install mesa-utils | 23:30 |
| sslashes | fedora_newb: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: why resize home anyway? | 23:30 |
| jrib | MashTomato: you can also just buy a blank cd, or buy the dvd from amazon which would be pretty fast. Where are you located? | 23:31 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: I answered before; because it's too small :P | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: ideally you would want a big /home ok so its to small? the seperate partition? and 12GB or so for / and yep maybe a bit of swap space as well | 23:31 |
| gartral | wieshka: im getting ripped off! im paying $45 usd for 7.5 mbit | 23:31 |

| fedora_newb | sslashes, ran the command and it says direct rendering yes | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: if you have a big enough USB stick, you could make a bootable Ubuntu USB | 23:31 |
| Brutus | what is the correct way to chmod a directory with everything underneath (files and folders) | 23:31 |
| wieshka | bobstro: in Latvia , Riga, there even are places, where you can get 500 mb/sec less then $80 | 23:31 |
| dirijat | OK, thanks. The Russians are sleeping..... | 23:32 |
| john20 | guys, on wich chat can i talk about wpa2-psk cracking? | 23:32 |
| jrib | Brutus: -R. Doing this in the wrong place (like most places outside your /home) is a great way to wreck your install though | 23:32 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: I remember trying that before; it didn't work, because my BIOS doesn't appear to recognize the USB port as possible bootable location, and I didn't quite feel like playing around in my BIOS settings | 23:32 |
| jrib | !permissions > Brutus | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Brutus, please see my private message | 23:32 |
| Brutus | i understand -R but i don't know how | 23:32 |
| fedora_newb | sslashes...is that suppose to help me? | 23:32 |
| jrib | Brutus: what directory? Why are you chmodding it? | 23:33 |
| Brutus | i'm trying to chmod directory ~/complete | 23:33 |
| jrib | Brutus: what syntax did you try? | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: oh well chagning the boot order in BIOS's tends to be pretty easy | 23:33 |
| jrib | !who | Brutus | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Brutus: 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 :) | 23:33 |
| wieshka | john20: ask google - but one thing i can say you - first of all it will take a long time, and you will have to have to wireless interfaces - one as active on as passive | 23:33 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: I do believe you, but I still don't want to, if I don't really have to :P | 23:33 |
| bfsd | can i change gui in netbook ubuntu to the reglar one or should i just get regular ubuntu? | 23:34 |
| Brutus | jrib: i'm trying to access directory's there, but i'm not able because i moved them from the root account to the local user account | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: lap top or desktop? | 23:34 |
| MashTomato | desktop | 23:34 |
| jrib | Brutus: so you want to change the owner? | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: on lap tops its like hit F12 and get a thing up for the boot order as a tempory change | 23:34 |
| Brutus | jrib: chmod 777 should do the trick, but i wan't to be able to do that | 23:34 |
| Brutus | jrib: chmod (what do i fill in after that) | 23:34 |
| jrib | Brutus: are you sure you don't want to change the OWNER instead of the permissions? | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: CD R's are rather cheap to buy these days | 23:34 |
| kad__ | o | 23:34 |
| Brutus | jrib: i need an easy way to do this every time | 23:35 |
| jrib | Brutus: why? | 23:35 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: so it's for desktop systems, but still- thanks for the help, I'm just grad me a DVD and do it the safe way :P | 23:35 |
| Brutus | jrib: because i'm going to do this on daily basis? | 23:35 |
| MashTomato | grab*, even | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: ok well have fun waiting for your offical CD, or whatever :D | 23:35 |
| Brutus | jrib: if changing ownership is easy then that could be the solution, otherwise chmod | 23:35 |
| noone | ubuntu doesnt detect my external usb hdd (doesnt appear on desktop). my usb port and the cable works. my os also detects other usb HDDs. might the problem be the mac journal formatting? | 23:35 |
| Brutus | jrib: but i'm unable to find out how to use the option. chmod: cannot access '777' : no such file or directory | 23:36 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: no, I'll grab me a DVD rom, and burn it with the DVD release of ubuntu :P | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | noone: could be. maybe you have to mount it manually | 23:36 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: although I usually order a branded DVD from ubuntu.. mostly for shits and giggles :P | 23:36 |
| jrib | Brutus: if you explained exactly what you are doing then maybe we could see if there was a better way to accomplish your goal. You likely just want to execute as your user: « sudo chown -R $USER: ~/complete ». That will change the owner and group of all files in ~/complete to $USER (which gets changed to whatever your username is) | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | MashTomato: as far as I know the DVD version and the CD version not much difference, except for the DVD version having much more langauges | 23:36 |
| MashTomato | yeah, the more localized, the better, eh? :D | 23:37 |
| noone | erUSUL, through /media? got usb to usb7, but every directory is empty | 23:37 |

Drivers seem to work fine, it can detect my access point. Connecting though just doesn't seem to work. I used to have Ubuntu I believe it was Karmic. I did a fresh install of Lubuntu Lucid. Could it be some problem with Lubuntu specifically? linux-firmware-nonfree is installed, and I have a kn | 23:37 |
| brophat | do i understand correctly that if I am on winblows, I can download an ubuntu installer that will install ubuntu for me while I am on winblows? | 23:38 |
| erUSUL | noone: first ehat device it got assingned? « dmesg | tail -n20 » just after plugin it should tell you | 23:38 |
| sunshard | I discovered that it started outputting on the external connector | 23:38 |
| _Techie_ | is it possible to decrease boot time by disabling processes in /etc/rcX.d/ ? | 23:38 |
| aeon-ltd | brophat: you can, its called wubi | 23:38 |
| Angel2600 | does the laptop manufacturer have display drivers spicificly for that laptop? | 23:38 |
| MashTomato | sebsebseb: yes :P | 23:38 |
| brophat | yeah wubi that is it. does wubi work if i am on winblows 7? | 23:38 |
| john20 | anyone can help in cracking wpa2-psk? | 23:38 |
| Brutus | jrib: ok i did it, now i can't do anything in that folder | 23:38 |
| aeon-ltd | _Techie_: yes but onlt up to a few seconds, plus iwouldn't mess around unless you knew what you're doing | 23:38 |
| jrib | Brutus: what are you trying to do exactly (and how)? | 23:38 |
| Brutus | jrib: i was able to access the foler i just chowned, no i can't do anything with that folder. n | 23:39 |
| aeon-ltd | brophat: yes, probably | 23:39 |
| sunshard | Angel2600: It's a Sony Vaio, and does not appear to have any specific releases. I'll check again to be sure | 23:39 |
| aeon-ltd | john20: so root_ your back? | 23:39 |
| Angel2600 | thats the problem. working on vios is always a bitch | 23:39 |
| Brutus | jrib: again: access the folders underneath it. belongs to root, just needs a chmod 777 to access it | 23:39 |
| wieshka | aeon-ltd: :D | 23:39 |
| DasEi | sunshard:you're right, give me a second, I'll look my lappy | 23:39 |
| _Techie_ | aeon-ltd, thanks, i know what im doing and its a completely minimal system, i only need X GDM and networking | 23:39 |
| brophat | aeon-ltd you think the ubuntu team has allready thought of that? and made wubi work on winblows 7? | 23:39 |
| jrib | Brutus: that's not an answer to my question. Anyway, what does « ls -ld ~/complete » return at the moment? | 23:39 |
| aeon-ltd | brophat: yes, but wubi still has bugs and is not as "refined" as the livecd | 23:40 |
| john20 | aeon-ltd: yeah, i made a new account, didn't know anything bad about beying _root | 23:40 |
| wieshka | huh - alt install of ubuntu desktop takes a while :) | 23:40 |
| brophat | ok | 23:40 |
| aeon-ltd | john20: why do you need to know how to break wpa-psk? | 23:40 |

| aeon-ltd | brophat: it installs inside windows, so you still get the windows boot loader, also speed restraints due to it being in windows | 23:41 |

| Brutus | drwxr--r-- 3 root root 4096 2010-09-05 19:27 crank | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | noone: if nothing new is printed to dmesg when the disk is plugged it looks like a hardware problem | 23:42 |
| Brutus | jrib: because i moved them as root | 23:43 |
| brophat | after it installsaeon-ltd so you mean i gotta run windows in order to run ubuntu | 23:43 |

| sebsebseb | uLinux: well you do have an IRC client, if you have Internet access on your Live CD, then you can install one into the live session | 23:48 |
| crazycracker210_ | you can mess i would help just not sur @Eric-L try google | 23:48 |

| frank__ | I'm looking for some input to solve this kind of problem (without having more windows open *g*). Like an alternative toolbar or some of the fancy mac os x switchers with tabbing/grouping. Does anyone of you has any recommendation? :) http://frank.0x711.de/what_a_mess.png | 23:49 |
| the_bot_died_las | come on i dont have all day...... | 23:49 |
| frank__ | s/withoug having more windows open/withoug having less windows open | 23:49 |
| DasEi | sunshard: section device, describing device0, nvidia | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: Does your Internet connection work, on the Ubuntu live session from the CD? | 23:49 |
| DasEi | sunshard: insert a line before EndSection, saying : | 23:50 |

| wieshka | !10.10 | the_bot_died_las | 23:50 |
| ubottu | the_bot_died_las: 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 | 23:50 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: oh by the looks of it you already have Ubuntu installed, well what you could do is, delete the WIndows partition, and re size your Ubuntu partition on the Live CD | 23:50 |
| uLinux | yes sebsebseb but I dont want to create a partition for /home like you said it's complicated | 23:50 |
| uLinux | yes sebsebseb | 23:50 |
| wieshka | the_bot_died_las: - so join mentioned channel and ask them | 23:50 |
| uLinux | im dual booting | 23:50 |
| DasEi | sunshard: Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" | 23:51 |
| the_bot_died_las | :( | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: making a /home is easy to set up before installing, after woulds can be done, but never done it myself, but not that hard. Also you don't really need a sepearte one, but can be useful. | 23:51 |
| Odemia | How can I stop a serial console on a device with a read only filesystem? | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: you could also remove Windows, and make a data partition there, just a data, not a /home | 23:51 |
| DasEi | sunshard: save xorg.conf | 23:51 |
| uLinux | sebsebseb: now if I wanted to change to another distro or reinstall ubuntu what would I do | 23:51 |
| uLinux | without losing files | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | Odemia: stop a serial console ? | 23:52 |
| Kendalja | whats the room for ubuntu 10.10 support? | 23:52 |
| tensorpudding | Kendalja: #ubuntu+1 | 23:52 |
| wieshka | uLinux: i have already explained you - it is pretty simple - you have to run live cd, to prevent mounting of HDD, after that run gparted, and delete windows partition, so you will get extra 30 Gb unallocated space ... after that you can resize partition of ubuntu at your own risk to get extra 30 Gb | 23:52 |
| sebsebseb | Kendalja: #ubuntu+1 | 23:52 |
| maco | Kendalja: #ubuntu+1 | 23:52 |
| DasEi | sunshard: oh wait, you're using vesa right now ?? | 23:53 |
| uLinux | wieshka: yes but theres is a 2mb of unallocated space | 23:53 |
| w1ld0ne | How do I auto connect to channels? | 23:53 |
| uLinux | i think it belongs to NTFS partition | 23:53 |
| sunshard | DasEi: No worries | 23:53 |
| frank__ | w1ld0ne: depends on your client | 23:53 |
| sunshard | DasEi: I'll autogenerate it again | 23:53 |
| wieshka | uLinux: after deleting 30 Gb partition you will have 30.002 Gb unallocated space :) | 23:53 |
| Odemia | erUSUL: getty is running on ttyS0 but I wan't to use it as a serial port. But I can't write to /etc/inittab | 23:53 |
| w1ld0ne | gnome xchat - don't see any option in preference | 23:53 |
| sunshard | DasEi: I'll make the changes and if I can actually read anything I'll see. | 23:53 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: yeah deleting Windows and resizing your Ubuntu partition, is probably the best thing for you to do at the moment, but there are other things that could be done instead as well. | 23:54 |
| DasEi | sunshard: you will have to log out, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, then insert that line, then restart gdm | 23:54 |
| frank__ | w1ld0ne: sry, irssi here | 23:54 |
| sunshard | yep | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | Odemia: i see; kill getty before using the port ? | 23:54 |
| DasEi | sunshard: also a modification to grub might be necessary, too tired for today | 23:54 |
| Odemia | erUSUL: init respawns it | 23:54 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: only thing with data, and no seperate /home is that, if you do the wrong thing when re installing, you would lose it. | 23:55 |
| uLinux | when the new Ubuntu version comes out how could I make a clean install without needing to make backup of everything | 23:55 |
| kad__ | heys need help i just update my ubtuntu and reboot!! now i can't log to graphic and in the logs when i type sudo get this: -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: cannot execute binary file | 23:55 |
| DasEi | sunshard: that mod in xorg basically switches to the internal LCD | 23:55 |
| frank__ | does anyone have a recommendation for an alternative gnome toolbar? | 23:55 |
| Odemia | erUSUL: "ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100" from inittab | 23:55 |
| demonspork | How do I add multiple IP addresses to my network port without interrupting connections on the already configured IP? I have 5 IP that I can use but only 1 is assigned and I would like to get the other 4 operational without any interruption to the already active IP connections | 23:55 |
| tensorpudding | uLinux: a clean install implies that all the old stuff is removed | 23:55 |
| tarzeau | frank__: you could well just use wmaker instead of gnome :) | 23:55 |
| frank__ | tarzeau: yeah, or kde ;P | 23:55 |
| sunshard | DasEi: Right, here's to hoping that it will be able to force correctly. It couldn't even find the LCD the last time :S | 23:55 |
| uLinux | tensorpudding: not if I had a /home in another partition like sebsebseb said? | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: Have you used gparted before or the manual install for Ubuntu? partition stuff makes more sense, when actsauly doing it, or trying to | 23:56 |
| sunshard | DasEi: See you in a bit, and thanks for the advice. Hope it works for this odd bit of hardware I'm running | 23:56 |
| DasEi | sunshard: I had that fun recently, too | 23:56 |
| tensorpudding | uLinux: that would allow you to save your personal files, yeah | 23:56 |
| iConfused | <3 pithos | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | Odemia: maybe you can use something like what livecd's use --> aufs ? | 23:56 |
| uLinux | well the easiest way would be be to use 2 hdd | 23:56 |
| uLinux | :P | 23:56 |
| Nate____ | I need some help with my HP Tx2z touch smart laptop and 10.04 broadcom drivers. | 23:57 |
| tensorpudding | uLinux: you'd reinstall normally, except being sure to tell it to mount your home partition, and telling it to not format said partition | 23:57 |
| Nate____ | Anyone think they can help out? | 23:57 |
| Nate____ | I'm on day 3 of trying to fix it.. haha | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: I think a Ubuntu / with /home as part of it, could have Ubuntu re installed, with /home staying how it is, as long as the partition isn't ticked for formatting | 23:57 |
| frank__ | btw, where's aptitude gone in 10.10? | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | frank__: its been removed from the default install | 23:57 |
| uLinux | hmm never tried that sebsebseb | 23:57 |
| iConfused | frank__, I think you could sudo apt-get install aptitude, though | 23:57 |
| uLinux | maybe when new Ubuntu version comes out I will try | 23:57 |
| Dulak | uLinux: putting /home onto it's own partition you can do a clean OS install and tell it not to format that partition and set it to mount to /home, which saves all the files in /home while giving you a clean install, it's how I upgrade my machines | 23:58 |
| xangua | frank__: sudo apt-get install aptitude ; from maverick go to #ubuntu+1 | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | uLinux: most expereinced Desktop Linux users, will do a seperate /home partition, since makes things easier in the long run :) | 23:58 |
| frank__ | sebsebseb: is there any reason why I shouldn't use it? I've been using aptitude for years now, I'm not even familiar with the apt-syntax (blame me, yeah ;) | 23:58 |
| Nate____ | Anyone else having Broadcom STA driver issues with 10.04? | 23:58 |
| sunshard | DasEi: | 23:58 |
| wieshka | sebsebseb: huh, glad i am running all on my workstations on LVM :) | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | frank__: you can use aptitude still if you install it yourself. not meant to mix apt-get and apttiude apparenatly by hte wya | 23:58 |
| sunshard | DasEi: Oh dear, no luck | 23:58 |
| demonspork | Galeo, it allows me to offer services such as websites on their own dedicated IP address. I can also have each IP listening on port 80 or any other port for that matter, this way I can run multiple of one thing and continue to use the default port by using a different IP for each instance of the program | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | frank__: and yeah aptitude is probably really the better out of the two | 23:59 |
| Doyle | Nate____: relax for a few minutes, then ask again if no one's answering | 23:59 |
| sunshard | DasEi: It now happily outputs 640 x 480 | 23:59 |
| ZekeS | frank__: aptitude and apt share commands for the most part. | 23:59 |
| ZekeS | <3 aptitude | 23:59 |
| sunshard | DasEi: It hurts the eyes, D: | 23:59 |
