| OerHeks | steves maybe the superblock is damaged, you said it had problems allready ? | 00:00 |
| synackfin | Flannel: thanks, and what apt-cache command do I use to find a package that provides a certain file? i.e. if I want file "foo.so" | 00:00 |
| steves | Yes - I believe it is . Is my data necessarily hosed? | 00:01 |
| mgolisch | synackfin: you use apt-file | 00:01 |
| joesin | hello all... | 00:01 |
| soreau | turtle_: Most development tools are not installed by default on ubuntu. Did you know there is a script to build compiz 0.9 and takes care of all deps and plugins for you? | 00:01 |
| steves | This is from a home system, but the last backup is about 2 mo old. | 00:01 |
| turtle_ | soreau: I was not! will check for it now | 00:02 |
| mgolisch | steves: do both not work? | 00:02 |
| synackfin | mgolisch: thanks | 00:02 |
| mgolisch | steves: if it was raid mirror you should be able to bring it back online with only one drive | 00:02 |

| steves | I've tried powering starting the system up with either one of the drives (raid1) by them selves and then doing a "mdam --assemble --detail /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1" and I get errors | 00:04 |
| joesin | can anyone hear me? | 00:04 |
| mgolisch | steves: and sdb1 is the correct device? | 00:04 |

| heretic121 | hiexpo, could you help with a sis mirage/xorg problem? | 00:05 |
| fruitwerks | anyone know what would cause slowness with nfs exports to windows clients? it's tolerable usually, but it's been horrible today, I even restarted the whole machine | 00:06 |
| steves | There are 3 physical devices. sda has the Ubuntu (swap and /). /proc/devstat lists sda sdb and sdc | 00:06 |
| hiexpo | heretic121, sorry no | 00:06 |
| synackfin | I ran apt-file search libmpfr.so, and it didn't find any results -- does ubuntu have mpfr? | 00:06 |
| heretic121 | mkay, thanks anyway | 00:06 |
| hiexpo | np | 00:06 |
| mgolisch | synackfin: did you do apt-file update before? | 00:06 |
| heretic121 | know anybody that might be able to? | 00:06 |
| joesin | @kthomas: :P | 00:06 |
| turtle_ | soreau: is this to the same effect as this? http://santiance.com/2010/07/compile-compiz-0-9-0-in-ubuntu/ | 00:06 |
| synackfin | mgolisch: yep I did | 00:07 |
| hiexpo | just ask and wait if someone knows they will most likely answer | 00:07 |
| synackfin | mgolisch: it can find other packages, if I do apt-file search libc.so, it finds packages | 00:07 |
| synackfin | mgolisch: but libmpfr.so returns nothing | 00:07 |
| heretic121 | hiexpo, lol I tried that a few times | 00:07 |
| sisterdelirious | hey people. i'm on lucid lynx and I'm trying to get my HP printer (on 001:005) which is alread set to "share" on the network, to be able to accept print jobs from my OS X 10.6.4 mac. The Mac sees it on the network, but creates a separate printer instance on the ubuntu machine and then sends print jobs to the queue that never actually print. Any ideas would be appreciated! | 00:07 |
| mgolisch | synackfin: ubuntu probably doenst have that then | 00:07 |
| soreau | turtle_: No it is not. He has a very old snapshot of the script there | 00:07 |
| heretic121 | oh well, just going to have to shoot randomly at the dark and hope for the best | 00:08 |
| heretic121 | thanks for sparing your time, hiexpo | 00:08 |
| hiexpo | heretic121, no prob | 00:08 |
| steves | mgolisch: /dev/diskstats lists sdb and sdc which are not listed in the mount | 00:08 |
| koshari | Can "Print Screen" keyboard command send directly to a printer? | 00:09 |
| mgolisch | steves: sudo fdisk -l , that should make it easy to detect which is the correct disks | 00:09 |
| heretic121 | koshari, you might be able to with a keyboard shortcut and a bash script | 00:09 |
| jrib | koshari: well you can bind the key to some sequence of command that does that, sure why not | 00:09 |
| jrib | s | 00:09 |
| heretic121 | but I have no idea how you would | 00:09 |
| steves | mgolisch: that command lists sdb1 and sdc1 as my raid devices. | 00:11 |

| psusi | steves, if one of the drives has failed, why did you move it? | 00:15 |
| steves | mgolisch - /dev/md0 assembled from 1 drive - need all 2 to start it (use --run to insist). | 00:15 |

| === jacob_ is now known as jacobjwheeler | ||
| steves | psusi - because when the system died _it_ crashed totally - taking out the OS on sda too. I rebuilt the OS | 00:16 |
| psusi | steves, and what happened to the two disks in the raid? are they working? | 00:16 |
| DARUDE | i guess i'll wait my turn :) | 00:16 |
| steves | psusi: sdb died. | 00:17 |
| psusi | steves, ok... then activate it manually with --run like it said | 00:17 |

| === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy | ||
| DARUDE | thank you | 00:20 |
| DARUDE | first of all | 00:20 |
| DARUDE | I need to know what version of ubuntu to download. | 00:20 |
| DARUDE | ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso | 00:21 |
| coafcv | DARUDE: do you have a 64 bit processor? | 00:21 |
| DARUDE | I am a bit confused but it seems only appropriate to go for the AMD one | 00:21 |
| psusi | DARUDE, if you have a recent 64 bit processor, then sure, go for 64 bit | 00:22 |
| DARUDE | since Aspire 5000 laptop cpu is AMD Durion | 00:22 |
| xbonesx | how do you get the 3d cube to work with compiz, i tried to check the attributes for it but it didnt do it | 00:22 |
| xbonesx | ? | 00:22 |
| heretic121 | DARUDE, is it a 64 bit processor? | 00:22 |
| psusi | Duron? I think that's like 6 year old 32bit processor? | 00:22 |
| DARUDE | sorry | 00:22 |
| DARUDE | AMD Turion 64 mobile technology | 00:22 |
| DARUDE | Turion | 00:22 |
| DARUDE | My bad | 00:22 |
| psusi | ahh | 00:22 |
| FloodBot1 | DARUDE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:22 |
| psusi | then yea, go for the 64bit | 00:22 |
| coafcv | DARUDE: yes, then go with amd64 | 00:22 |
| coafcv | DARUDE: do you want full disk encryption? | 00:23 |
| DARUDE | so this yes? ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 00:23 |
| turtle_ | xbonesx: enabled 'extra' under system->appearence->visual effects ? | 00:23 |
| psusi | DARUDE, yes | 00:23 |
| DARUDE | thank you | 00:23 |
| howard | im running a core i3 64 bit, what version do i use ? | 00:23 |
| psusi | howard, same one | 00:23 |
| heretic121 | anyone here free to work out a sis mirage/xorg problem? | 00:23 |
| DARUDE | coafcv, what's full disk encryption | 00:23 |
| howard | im still confused about the whole amd intel thing | 00:23 |
| soreau | xbonesx: ask in #compiz | 00:23 |
| coafcv | DARUDE: never mind, use the desktop version. | 00:23 |
| DARUDE | oh :) | 00:24 |
| coafcv | howard: AMD first came up with the existing 64 bit standard, that's why it's called AMD64 | 00:24 |
| coafcv | howard: intel supports it too | 00:24 |
| psusi | howard, Intel decided to make a non backwards compatible 64 bit system... amd decided to make one that was backwards compatible... amd won | 00:24 |
| coafcv | heh | 00:24 |
| psusi | howard, so now Intel is using amd's system | 00:24 |
| heretic121 | lol | 00:24 |
| howard | will the 64 bit version work for my core i3 | 00:24 |
| heretic121 | yes | 00:24 |
| coafcv | yes | 00:24 |
| AndrewMC | howard: yes | 00:24 |
| \DSAFEW\ | scuse me, would someone which gnome-terminal's path for me please? | 00:25 |
| howard | will it run better? | 00:25 |
| coafcv | than what? | 00:25 |
| heretic121 | i368 will work with a 32 bit amd processor | 00:25 |
| DARUDE | Also one more thing, I just want to address an issue that I am aware of for that laptop model. The wireless will not work off the bat, anyone have any idea of what I should do first? | 00:25 |
| mgolisch | \DSAFEW\: which gnome-terminal will tell you | 00:25 |
| howard | then the 32 bit version on the same maching | 00:25 |
| \DSAFEW\ | mgolisch, I don't have ubuntu | 00:25 |
| DARUDE | Something about ndiswrapper | 00:25 |
| heretic121 | and amd64 will work with a 64 bit intel processor | 00:25 |
| AndrewMC | DARUDE: System> Administration> Hardware Drivers | 00:25 |
| howard | thank you | 00:26 |
| mgolisch | \DSAFEW\: its /usr/bin/gnome-terminal but what do you need that for? | 00:26 |
| coafcv | howard: the 64 bit version allows to access more than 4 GB of RAM. | 00:26 |
| AndrewMC | DARUDE: install/enable anything listed there | 00:26 |
| \DSAFEW\ | mgolisch, thanks! | 00:26 |
| \DSAFEW\ | mgolisch, someone wants to find it in firefox in order to get the terminal maybe | 00:26 |
| DARUDE | AndrewMC, alright | 00:27 |
| DARUDE | Btw, what speed do I burn the Ubuntu@ | 00:27 |
| AndrewMC | DARUDE: the slowest | 00:27 |
| coafcv | one your cd burner and disk can handle? | 00:27 |
| AndrewMC | DARUDE: you always burn ISO at the slowest possible speed... reduces the likelihood of errors | 00:28 |

| kurtis | Hey guys, I'm using Debian but I think a lot of the same knowledge should apply. I'm trying to view/mount and access my other hard drives using Gnome/Nautilus. As root, this works fine. As a normal user, I can't even see them. The folders created by root (/media/...) are only accessible by root. What should I do? | 00:34 |

| Mathuin | What's the new hotness with regard to Ubuntu Netbook Remix? I want to update my EeePC's. | 00:36 |
| \DSAFEW\ | kurtis, add "users" to the fstab options? | 00:36 |
| \DSAFEW\ | kurtis, or maybe change perms on something, not sure about the permissions in your setup | 00:37 |
| kurtis | \DSAFEW\: I'm looking in the fstab right now and I don't see any option for users. As far as permissions go, other than changing the mount-point folder permissions, I really don't know what permissions nautilus uses for this process | 00:38 |
| === douglas is now known as speedrunnerG55 | ||
| iflema | Mathuin: netbook remix is 9.10 Karmic Koala and earlier, youll need netbok edition..... :P | 00:38 |
| heretic121 | kurtis, are you using fstab for mounting? | 00:39 |
| SoulShadow | lmao iflema: semantics much? | 00:39 |
| speedrunnerG55 | hey guys | 00:39 |
| \DSAFEW\ | kurtis, well it's not there if you have to add it; put it in the options field, with noauto,noatime,etc | 00:39 |
| Mathuin | I knew netbook remix was the old stuff, I didn't know what was the new stuff. Is netbook edition the new stuff? | 00:39 |
| kurtis | heretix121: Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't believe it is fstab because it doesn't occur upon bootup. I'm just trying to use nautilus to view and mount my other hard drives | 00:39 |
| heretic121 | mkay, I know what you mean | 00:39 |
| kurtis | \DSAFEW\: ahh okay, I'll take a look at the fstab manual. Thanks for that info | 00:39 |
| heretic121 | are you mounting it using root, and nautilus? | 00:40 |
| m0ej0e | Hello all, any idea why my removable media does not show any space cleared on it once I have deleted items off it? | 00:40 |
| \DSAFEW\ | kurtis, yeah, are you trying to mount it by surfing nautilus to the mount point with a user account? | 00:40 |
| heretic121 | because iirc you can mount a drive using nautilus, even as a normal user | 00:40 |
| iflema | Mathuin: the new stuff will be released in early October... the 10.04 Lucid netbook version is not much different to UNR. | 00:40 |
| Mathuin | iflema: thanks for the update. is there a beta, or is it worth waiting for early October? | 00:41 |
| heretic121 | brb, grabbing another can of Strongbow and a cig | 00:41 |

| iflema | Mathuin: 10.10 Maverick suport is in #ubuntu+1 and its not ready yet but the there is a beta an it is usable... | 00:42 |
| m0ej0e | \DSAFEW\: There are 2 items, 1 USB key the other an external HDD. | 00:42 |
| Mathuin | iflema: excellent. thanks for the pointers! | 00:42 |
| kurtis | heretic121, \DSAFEW\: Well, basically when I open 'Computer' from Gnome, it opens Nautilus. As root user, I am able to see my hard drives and mount/unmount them. As a regular user, I don't see them at all. I'm not sure what Nautilus uses to get the listing of hard drives and what it uses to (auto)mount them. | 00:42 |
| \DSAFEW\ | m0ej0e, oh I see, disregard the cdrao thing then | 00:43 |
| heretic121 | mkay, kurtis do you use root to mount them before checking as a normal user? | 00:43 |
| \DSAFEW\ | m0ej0e, perhaps you're mounting them in onionfs or something? IDK, how do you check for available space? | 00:43 |
| Blue1 | \DSAFEW\: df | 00:44 |
| kurtis | heretix121: Yeah, in this case I did. I logged in as root. It mounted them. I logged out and logged back in as my normal user. They are still mounted. Good thinking. | 00:44 |
| m0ej0e | \DSAFEW\: I attempt to add more items to the drive and am prompted that there is a lack of free space. | 00:44 |

| Blue1 | manlymatt83: tht's preciesly why I got a sansa fuse. | 00:45 |
| \DSAFEW\ | m0ej0e, are you deleting things in a program, or with the shell? perhaps it's getting moved to the internal Trash folder on that drive | 00:45 |
| Mathuin | manlymatt83: I have a second generation that works with banshee and a first generation that just recently stopped working with everything. Have you tried banshee? | 00:46 |
| DeadEvilBoy | I always receive 407 error | 00:46 |
| DeadEvilBoy | I already tryed ntlmaps | 00:46 |
| DeadEvilBoy | but the error persists | 00:46 |
| m0ej0e | \DSAFEW\: I was deleting through GUI, not to sure if that is what you meant by 'program'. | 00:46 |
| DeadEvilBoy | so I tried in firefox | 00:46 |
| DeadEvilBoy | and it asks for login | 00:46 |
| DeadEvilBoy | that's why doesn't work on apt-get | 00:47 |
| m0ej0e | \DSAFEW\: when I navigate to the drive VIA CLI I do not see anything there. | 00:47 |
| DeadEvilBoy | is there anyway? | 00:47 |
| manlymatt83 | I can try banshee... but apparently the file format changed | 00:47 |
| kurtis | heretic121: So do you happen to have any idea on how I can get my other hard drives to pop up when I click "Computer" as a normal user? So I don't have to navigate the filesystem every time I want to access my other hard drives? | 00:47 |

| Fishy | is there anyway to get more than 30GB on the windows installer | 01:03 |
| phirestalker | or better yet how to disable it totally inadequate internal error reporting and let it fall to apport? | 01:03 |
| edbian | Fishy, It depends on the size of your harddrive. Do you mean wubi? | 01:04 |
| Fishy | edbian, yes | 01:05 |
| Fishy | also second question you cant wubi netbook remix can you | 01:05 |
| manlymatt83 | Looks like banshee doesn't support the latest ipod shuffle =( | 01:06 |
| LinuxPhreak | Fishy: if your having trouble with WUBI and your feeling advertous you may want to try BEeN GRUBed from Source Forge | 01:06 |
| Fishy | LinuxPhreak, im not having trouble just wanted to know if i could partition more than 30GB for it on install.. | 01:07 |
| LinuxPhreak | BEeN GRUBed partitions the Hard Drive instead of installing inside of the Windows partition like WUBI does | 01:08 |
| alzie | fishy; wubi does not create a partition, it runs in memory. You still can access the hard drives tho. | 01:08 |
| edbian | LinuxPhreak, How is that different from a typical Linux install? | 01:08 |
| _MrRocket_ | 10 moar gb | 01:09 |
| Fishy | LinuxPhreak, can i install netbook remix with BEeN GRUBed? | 01:09 |
| edbian | Fishy, You are only limited by your hdd size. It is possible and likely that you only have 30 gb free. | 01:09 |
| frugi | hi, im trying to install gnome-shell in my 10.10 install but i cant figure out the repo to add, ive already added ppa:ricotz/testing, but it dosent contain gnome-shell for some reason | 01:09 |
| etzerd | hello all | 01:09 |
| LinuxPhreak | No disk is needed. Just download the .exe and it will fetch files from the internet | 01:09 |
| Fishy | edbian, i have like 1.5TB free.. in the install it had a drop down for harddrive size.. couldnt select higher than 30 | 01:09 |
| _MrRocket_ | yeah | 01:09 |
| edbian | Fishy, Ubuntu Netbook edition is just a set of packages installed on top of Ubuntu. Any Ubuntu install (wubi or otherwise) can become netbook edition by installing a couple packages | 01:09 |
| Fishy | when i load ubuntu it says my local disk is only 30gb | 01:09 |
| etzerd | is anybody here tried the verson 10.10 yet? | 01:10 |
| NOMADICUS | I messed this up rather extensively. | 01:10 |
| edbian | Fishy, Perhaps there is some limit by wubi? I suggest installing formally rather than wrestle with Wubi. It can be a bare. | 01:10 |
| Mathuin | etzerd: apparently discussion of 10.10 is happening in #ubuntu+1 | 01:10 |
| m0ej0e | Fishy: I think WUBI has a file saize limit of 30 gigs | 01:10 |
| histo | etzerd: yes and discussion about it is in #ubuntu+1 | 01:10 |
| etzerd | thanks | 01:10 |

| Fishy | etzerd, whats wrong with 10.10? | 01:11 |
| etzerd | it suppose to come with the new Gnome but it doesn't seem sooo. | 01:11 |
| edbian | Fishy, It's still in Beta | 01:11 |

| Fishy | edbian, i never have much luck trying to dual boot systems.. wubi would pretty well.. ill try BEeN GRUBed | 01:11 |
| etzerd | Fishy: nothing. I just intalled today and I' trying to get some feed back should I continue using or not | 01:12 |
| edbian | Fishy, Sure. I can almost guarantee that dual booting is easy :) I don't know what BEen GRUBed is. Have fun with it! | 01:12 |
| IdleOne | etzerd: get the feedback in #ubuntu+1 | 01:12 |
| Fishy | edbian, i tried it twice.. both times neither OS would load lol | 01:12 |
| edbian | Fishy, mmm, perhaps you did something wrong? ;) | 01:13 |
| heretic121 | Fishy, are you doing this with a laptop? | 01:13 |
| Fishy | edbian, i can garuntee i did | 01:13 |

| Fishy | heretic121, no with desktop but i have a netbook i want to try to dual boot w7 and netbook remix with | 01:13 |

| etzerd | can I install ubuntu in my iPad? | 01:14 |
| heretic121 | okay, if you're going to dual boot on a laptop/netbook make sure all your hardware has no problems with linux xD | 01:14 |
| edbian | manlymatt83, Ubuntu 10.04 is great. Switch to it. | 01:14 |
| manlymatt83 | edbian: What about 10.10? | 01:14 |
| heretic121 | dual boot on a desktop is easy, if you make it so | 01:14 |
| Fishy | heretic121, i had ubuntu on it before but never dual booted | 01:14 |
| edbian | etzerd, The arch isn't supported. | 01:14 |

| xbonesx | anyone know how to disable the keyring for connecting to wireless connections? | 01:15 |
| _MrRocket_ | get 10, slap the iso on cd and run the install in windows option, then you will have a dual boot option, its pretty sweet | 01:15 |
| edbian | etzerd, You can probably get some linux to run on it. But Ubuntu only supports ppc, iX86, and amd64 | 01:16 |
| etzerd | thanks edbian | 01:16 |
| edbian | etzerd, Debian for example supports many more arch. I'm not sure what arch the ipad is. Some proprietary thing made by apple. | 01:16 |
| edbian | etzerd, Sure no problem. | 01:16 |
| etzerd | edbian: I just install the version 10.10 do you think it is safe to use it or downgrade to 10.4? | 01:17 |

| steves | Hopefully one additional question - I was able to assemble one of the two drives into an array, backed up the data, zero'ed out the partion table for the defective drive and then added the drive back into the array to recreate an array of two drives. When I cat the mdstat file I don't see synchronization only what I would expect for two fully synchronized drives. Why wouldn't I? | 01:22 |
| xbonesx | anyone know where program data is stored for wine installed programs? | 01:22 |
| edbian | TeslaTony, It should not matter that they're both installed. | 01:22 |

| TeslaTony | edbian: Assuming I don't shoot myself first. BTW, are the settings for both stored in the same locations? | 01:26 |
| snowveil | xbonesx, what file are you looking for specifically? | 01:26 |
| Monotoko | KyleHughes, for that you would need more than wget...you would need a full script and im not even sure if bash likes csv's | 01:26 |
| edbian | TeslaTony, Sorry, both of what? Both operating systems? | 01:26 |
| KyleHughes | It doesn't have to stay as a CSV | 01:27 |

| saikat | bash doesn't seem to like the ! point | 01:29 |
| edbian | TeslaTony, Well if you have 2 separate installs. 1 Ubuntu and 1 Netbook Edition then they will be on completely different partitions. Unless you're sharing the /home partition. All settings for all apps are in /home/userName/.<appName> Many packages make up gnome and many other packages make up netbook edition. Each package will have it's own .folder or .file. Additionally many settings are stored in gconf-editor. | 01:29 |
| DeadEvilBoy | why does network proxy authentication doesn't assume user and password? | 01:29 |
| snowveil | saikat, maybe put an escape before it? ( a backslash) | 01:30 |

| Monotoko | DARUDE, memtest86+ | 01:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | DARUDE, i believe there is a memory check on the ubuntu livecd, believe it's memtest | 01:35 |
| DARUDE | oh | 01:35 |
| OerHeks | jups it is an install option :-) | 01:36 |
| Licuadora | What's memtest for anyway? | 01:36 |
| Licuadora | It just keeps scanning something for... hours | 01:36 |
| Monotoko | Licuadora, it tests your memory | 01:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | DARUDE, FYI it takes a long time, leave it running overnight perhaps (might not rule out overheating though) | 01:36 |
| xbonesx | snowveil: i also have teamviewer installed and it has its own (wine) folder at /home/<username>/.teamviewer and within that there is a executable file located in the normal windows DIR but if i go into the /home/<username>/.flashfxp there's no executable file in the program files DIR | 01:36 |
| Monotoko | makes sure its all alright....and it took me days once | 01:36 |
| Licuadora | But it tests memory for Hours!! How long does it really takes? | 01:37 |
| DARUDE | it would probobly freeze before it finishes.. | 01:37 |
| OerHeks | full memtest can take up to 24 hrs, for professional use. | 01:37 |
| DARUDE | withouth any errors | 01:37 |
| DARUDE | maybe | 01:37 |
| Licuadora | I allways cancel it half an hour later | 01:37 |
| _MrRocket_ | damn ubuntu is pretty nice with a badass video card :D | 01:37 |
| snowveil_ | xbonesx, do you know the name of the executable? | 01:38 |

| DeadEvilBoy | but I checked firefox and it still asks for user and pass | 01:41 |
| xbonesx | snowveil_: found it before you even sent me that command line lol | 01:41 |
| DeadEvilBoy | that's why when I do apt-get it doesn't work | 01:41 |
| xbonesx | snowveil_: but TY :) | 01:41 |
| DeadEvilBoy | how can I solve that? | 01:41 |
| snowveil_ | no problem...don't fear the terminal...it's your friend :) | 01:41 |
| _MrRocket_ | you need to create a root account | 01:41 |
| DeadEvilBoy | mrRocket_.. is it for me? | 01:42 |
| _MrRocket_ | yes | 01:42 |
| xbonesx | snowveil_: oh i dont already learned how to use "vi" | 01:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | DeadEvilBoy, you need to find out if apt-get can be configured to use your proxy, i have no idea (use "sudo -i" if you REALLY need root) | 01:42 |
| xbonesx | snowveil_: and a bunch of other commands | 01:42 |
| DeadEvilBoy | I already did it as root | 01:42 |
| DeadEvilBoy | and it doesn't work | 01:42 |
| _MrRocket_ | huh strange maybe you need to get your os updates? | 01:42 |
| Cityscape | Hi all. I am reinstalling Ubuntu. I would like to do 10.10. Is it stable enough for desktop use now? | 01:43 |
| DeadEvilBoy | I can do it out of the proxy | 01:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | !doesntwork | DeadEvilBoy | 01:43 |
| ubottu | DeadEvilBoy: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 01:43 |
| _MrRocket_ | cityscape it seems to be | 01:43 |
| DeadEvilBoy | but in this proxy.. I can only use web | 01:43 |
| wasnik | hi guys alsa does not detect my soundcards please help | 01:43 |
| Monotoko | Cityscape, depends on your desktop but i would say so | 01:43 |
| DeadEvilBoy | because it always asks for credentials user and pass | 01:43 |
| DeadEvilBoy | and using apt-get it will no ask user or pass | 01:43 |
| Monotoko | DeadEvilBoy, have you tried googling? | 01:44 |
| DeadEvilBoy | yes | 01:44 |
| DeadEvilBoy | already tried NTLMaps | 01:44 |

| Monotoko | Cityscape, yes I would | 01:46 |
| Monotoko | Cityscape, run it from livecd first to make sure it likes all of your hardware | 01:46 |

| DeadEvilBoy | you see the point? | 01:49 |
| DeadEvilBoy | if you do it right... and put the system settings in firefox | 01:49 |
| DeadEvilBoy | it would open automatically my standard webpage | 01:49 |

| barqers | Hello everyone. I was just curious about Ubuntu one. Is there a way that I can find out my specific file path to upload files directly from my windows computer as well? | 01:51 |
| Monotoko | might be a bug if your sure your doing it right | 01:51 |
| DeadEvilBoy | yes... it shouldn't.. I have red... and they say that it is an ISA server | 01:51 |
| DeadEvilBoy | so I should use NTLMaps | 01:51 |
| quietone | i want to connect via my phone using bluetooth. What packages do I need? Just a bit confused by the docs... | 01:51 |
| barqers | specifically I run microsoft office onenote at work and would like to upload to my ubuntu one server in order to obtain them back home on my ubuntu machine. anyone know how? | 01:51 |
| DeadEvilBoy | but even though, it asks for user and pass again | 01:51 |
| _MrRocket_ | reset ff to defaults and allow login? | 01:51 |
| _MrRocket_ | i'm not sure | 01:52 |

| _MrRocket_ | anyone up to cross-compiling a doom source engine to winblows? :D | 01:53 |
| Cityscape | Monotoko: okay I'm downloading 10.10 now. One more question though, will I easily be able to upgrade to the RC when it comes out and from the RC to the final version? Will I have more bugs like this or is it the same as installing the final version? | 01:54 |
| OerHeks | barqers, you can login online and add your files | 01:54 |
| OerHeks | no windows client yet :( | 01:55 |
| Monotoko | Cityscape, it will be simple...itl just be a regular update package | 01:55 |
| Monotoko | wasnik, you appear to not have an audio device | 01:56 |
| Cityscape | Monotoko: okay when I get to the final version will be as stable as if I had just installed th final version without previously using the beta? | 01:56 |
| wasnik | Montoko, i know, that is what i was sayin alsa does not detecy my devices | 01:56 |
| barqers | OerHeks, microsoft office onenote automatically updates though as you time, so I was hoping for real-time updating of the files, however i don't know if that's posible | 01:56 |
| wasnik | Montoko, i have a conexant hd audio card | 01:56 |
| Monotoko | Cityscape, yepp it should be, i downloaded the RC of 10.04 and upgraded fine, still on this machine now | 01:57 |
| Monotoko | wasnik, even if alsa wasnt picking it up, you would still expect it to appear in lspci | 01:57 |

| PiranhaP | Do we have any APT configuration experts or embedded developers in here? I want to build a minimal root filesystem for an embedded device, but neither debootstrap nor multistrap seem to fit the bill. I'm trying to use apt directly using Dir:: parameters and the like, but I can't find a way to make debconf (dpkg-preconfigure) respect my alternate root directory. Does anybody have any advice? | 02:09 |
| enbloc | n0a1ias: you need either the device or the mountpoint, not the volume label. man umount | 02:09 |

| ouyes | hi all good evening | 02:42 |
| nogo | i just ignored wubi and removed the ooo at the beginning | 02:42 |

| Ed_Money | in CompizConfig Settings Manager, what is "Button2"? | 02:42 |
| callgary | IdleOne: webcam works with cheese. neet effects too. | 02:43 |
| soreau | Ed_Money: scroll click | 02:44 |
| nogo | can compiz work well with only mesa? | 02:44 |
| Ed_Money | soreau: scroll click? | 02:44 |
| nogo | (no?) | 02:44 |
| callgary | IdleOne: what about my canon LiDe 90 scanner. I don't it either?? | 02:44 |
| soreau | Ed_Money: if you don't have scroll button, left+right click at the same time typically emulates middle click | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | callgary: I never had luck with Canon | 02:45 |
| callgary | do usb scanners work?? | 02:45 |
| nogo | i am surprised canon is still alive | 02:45 |
| callgary | Does Skype work on ubuntu | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | callgary: my usb scanners work fine.. and skype works fine here also | 02:46 |
| nogo | you are lucky | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | actually - i have 4+ PC's with no issues with skype. and all my HP scanners have worked... | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | only Problameatuic hardqware ive had is the Cannon Printer. | 02:47 |
| nogo | i don't use them at all, so i have no problems too | 02:47 |
| ranthi | is skype in synaptic? | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !skype | 02:48 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 02:48 |
| callgary | Dr_Willis: how do I check my scanner / install it?? | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | its avail at unofficial PPA's i think. or other repos. | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | callgary: plug it in. run the scanner software.. | 02:48 |
| ranthi | k, cool | 02:48 |
| ranthi | never really tinkered with it alot but heard it was pretty good | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | thats all ive ever had to do for mine. For teh HP all in one Gizmo - i might of had to install teh HPLIP software | 02:49 |
| callgary | It says no scanner is installed?? | 02:49 |
| seekr | Hi. any GRUB wizards here? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !sane | 02:49 |
| ubottu | Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | callgary: check the SANE homepage to see if its supported | 02:49 |
| IdleOne | it's Canon, probably not | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I plan on never buying Canon Hardware again. | 02:50 |
| ranthi | never say never | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I will never buy ATI again eitehr. :) | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | and Iomega is also on my Dont buy list. | 02:51 |
| ranthi | last iomega thing i bought was a zip drive...FOREVER ago | 02:51 |
| nogo | ati is better than matorx | 02:51 |
| nogo | it's not going to be an orphan | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Matrox used to be a 'big' name, now its a 'whatever happened to ....' | 02:52 |
| nogo | you should know that if you are a old man | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ATI is going to lose its 'name' later this year. So If the news articals are correct. there will be no ATI by next year. | 02:53 |
| cakeep | test | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | cakeep: 3+2=? | 02:53 |

| DAGr8 | Im havin problemn runnin this from (shell busybox or bash) it wont work : find /sdcard/mydirectory -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -exec echo bla bla .. it seem find is poorly implemented all I want it to do is echo something if directory is NOT empty , without using find maybe ? | 02:54 |
| ranthi | since this is only the third time i been on irc..what does the red text mean? | 02:54 |
| Blue1 | DAGr8: locate maybe? | 02:54 |
| DAGr8 | ranthi depends on your settings :P | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ranthi: i dont see any red text... | 02:54 |
| nogo | i don't see any message is red | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ranthi: could be your irc client flagging lines with your Nick in them | 02:54 |
| ranthi | mine shows up red..heh..is that a pm or? | 02:54 |
| IdleOne | have you noticed it is only red when your nick is in the text? | 02:55 |
| ranthi | OH..could be | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Logical eh. :) | 02:55 |

| hipitihop | I'm runnig lucid on dell laptop and also have firmware-tools and firmware-addon-dell installed. can someone pls point me at guide to allow me to update to latest firmware | 02:55 |
| DAGr8 | blue1 thanks will try that , but really dont casre about locating nor find I really just want it to check lik e in 'english' it would be : if directory is empty echo directory is empty >> "$MAIN_MENU_FILE" | 02:56 |
| IdleOne | hipitihop: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:56 |
| LucidGuy | Apache question. Looking to secure an entire site/directory. I already have AuthType Basic in place but not satisfied with the login not being secure. Any recommendations? | 02:56 |
| IdleOne | if it offers updates then install them | 02:56 |
| === AndrewMC is now known as SpockVulcan | ||
| Lateral_October | Lucidguy you'll want to look at a server side scripting engine then | 02:57 |
| cakeep | hmmmm | 02:57 |
| hipitihop | IdeleOne, so there are no additional steps for me to take ? it just happens as part of normal updatemanager updates ? i.e. if there is newer firmware available, it just get downloaded and installed ? | 02:57 |
| LucidGuy | Lateral_October, hmm, yes I wonder if I can tackle that. | 02:57 |
| IdleOne | hipitihop: correct | 02:57 |
| martyb | I installed ubuntu for netbooks on my eepc, it doesnt have wireless lan driver support. Is there a way to download the drivers from my windows machine and put them on my netbook with a usb stick (my internet is wireless so difficult to DL) | 02:58 |
| hipitihop | IdleOne, too easy, how can I tell what bios I have ? | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | reboot, go into bios, look around. I have no idea. | 02:58 |
| Lateral_October | Lucidguy I found a few solutions that offered an almost drop in with no config solution. Not sure anymore what they are, I've coded my own out recently | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | martyb: it will be easier to just run a wire to the thing, and use the hardware-drivers tool. | 02:59 |
| steves | I didn't have the following problem with 9.10 but do with 10.4. I create a raid1 array (md0) using --create, then I created the mdadm.conf file for that array, checked and to make sure that the raid array sync'ed and then rebooted. After the reboot I don't see the array in proc/mdstat. What might I be doing wrong? | 02:59 |
| martyb | Dr_Willis: ok thanks. i figured id do that if i...oh he left | 02:59 |
| heretic121 | LucidGuy, I tend to code my own solutions for that sort of thing | 02:59 |
| hipitihop | IdleOne, ok thanks | 02:59 |
| sisterdelirious | hi guys. a software update on lucid lynx went wrong and now my system won't boot fromthe hard drive. I am on the installatiobn cd right now. Disk utility shows I am able to mount the HD and the file system tests clean. How do I rescue my existing installation? | 02:59 |
| sisterdelirious | (I am a newbie. by the way) | 03:00 |
| Lateral_October | Lucidguy the most you're probably gonna get for a drop in place on top of your curent code is php. | 03:00 |
| LucidGuy | heretic121, Can i do it with php alone? | 03:00 |
| heretic121 | LucidGuy, it's possible | 03:00 |
| LucidGuy | Lateral_October, can I do it without mysql? | 03:00 |
| nogo | sisterdelirious: i think the lynx has nothing to do with the booting process | 03:01 |
| heretic121 | LucidGuy, you should be able to | 03:01 |
| sisterdelirious | nogo: the bios (its a dell) goes fine. IT's after the handoff to ubuntu that the screen goes blank. | 03:01 |
| Lateral_October | Lucidguy you can, you'd have to store session information. You could use a flat text file for passwords but then you'd have to modify that file each time you want to add a password | 03:01 |
| ouyes | I do not know it is the channel for asking this question, is there a text based lan chat tool? | 03:01 |
| Ed_Money | with Compiz, what menu is it to resize a window to be half the screen size, on either right left top or bottom of screen? | 03:02 |
| LucidGuy | thanks, looking into it now. Lots of instructions using mysql. | 03:02 |
| Lateral_October | Lucidguy honestly though, id recommend leraning sql. Its pretty much essential for any web app | 03:02 |
| soreau | Ed_Money: #compiz | 03:02 |
| heretic121 | ouyes, use an ircd? you config it right and you're sorted | 03:02 |
| CkhiKuzad | ouyes, talk is possible to install, It has roots in Unix. | 03:02 |
| heretic121 | LucidGuy, it is possible without mysql | 03:03 |
| CkhiKuzad | No idea if it will work very well on LAN. | 03:03 |
| ranthi | what you trying to do without mysql? | 03:03 |
| heretic121 | but honestly, there was a time when I didn't use it | 03:03 |
| sisterdelirious | is there a way to run a software update from a live cd where the system getting upodated is the HD, not the CD? | 03:03 |
| heretic121 | then I had to learn it to complete a project I was on | 03:03 |
| Renderspec | is there software that monitors file activity in real time? | 03:03 |
| hiexpo | hello ouyes | 03:03 |
| ouyes | hiexpo, hi | 03:03 |
| heretic121 | and it's astonishingly easy to learn | 03:03 |
| Lateral_October | Renderspec man tail | 03:03 |
| Lateral_October | Sql is quite, quite easy. I've actually just started looking into rails. Loving it too | 03:04 |
| heretic121 | Lateral_October, would you recommend learning it? | 03:05 |
| ranthi | writing code is easy..writing good code...now that is what alot of people have problems with | 03:05 |
| heretic121 | I'm kinda stuck in my ways with PHP and MySQL | 03:05 |
| heretic121 | ranthi, well said sir | 03:05 |
| Lateral_October | Heretic121 I was stuck there too... however I just rewrote an app that I handcoded in php and mysql. Original app took me about a month. Just did a rewrite with ruby on rails in a weekend | 03:06 |

| IdleOne | WebDawg: to answer your question try asking in #openoffice.org | 03:12 |

| hipitihop | IdleOne, runnung 'sudo dmidecode' The bios is A05 from 12/12/2008 so it seems the update is not automatic, yet .. is there anything I need to do apart from having the firmware-tools and firmware-addon-dell packages installed ? | 03:16 |
| Lateral_October | Gl @ the interview heretic121 | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | hipitihop: sorry dude, I have no idea about updating bios but I don't think the OS handles that. I could be wrong | 03:17 |
| foul_owl | dlink dsb-c110. SOL? | 03:18 |
| Lateral_October | It can flash it with dells. Honestly though, id recommend the floppy method anyday | 03:18 |
| heretic121 | Lateral_October, cheers dude. It's for a web development job xD | 03:18 |
| heretic121 | the hopeful employer said he wanted an "informal chat" | 03:19 |
| hipitihop | Lateral_October, was that aimed at me ? | 03:19 |
| Lateral_October | There ya go heretic121 get some diversity in there | 03:19 |
| Lateral_October | Hipitihop yea, sorry | 03:19 |
| Lateral_October | Hipitihop not sure if it works through linux, haven't needed to update my bios recently. Buit I know they have a m$ utility to write the new flash from the os, then reboot and reflash | 03:20 |
| hipitihop | Lateral_October, why would you recommend the floppy method ? btw, I have no floppy but probably can make a usb stick and boot from that. | 03:20 |
| trans | hello everyone | 03:20 |
| heretic121 | Lateral_October, yep :D I love web development and the lowest he looking to pay is £8 per hour :) | 03:20 |
| trans | I want to connect my nokia phone as modem and browse web by establishing dail up connection,can I do out of the box or need extra package for 10.04 | 03:21 |
| Lateral_October | Hipitihop more stable imho. Heretic121 if he's gonna go that low it'll be good for gettin your foot in the door. But web devel is worth so much more than 8 | 03:21 |
| heretic121 | Lateral_October, it probably is worth more but I suck at selling myself and I've never earnt £8 per hour before xD Closest I've ever gotten is about £7 per hour and that was with extras xD | 03:23 |
| barqers | OerHeks, Sorry I forgot to reply! I meant to thank you for the link to tomboy! ty :) | 03:23 |

| fdfd | i belive the fn key works because other function key combinations like volume work | 03:41 |
| Anom01y | I have to unplug the power cord to reboot the computer.. | 03:41 |
| Anom01y | because the power button doesnt even work. | 03:41 |
| edbian | Anom01y, If you hold the button down it should work. Like after 15 seconds. | 03:42 |
| edbian | Anom01y, Additionally, next time you freeze up try alt + sysRq + k | 03:42 |
| Sterist | is anyone using an ASUS K50 NOTEBOOK? | 03:42 |
| Anom01y | what is that for ? | 03:42 |
| foul_owl | where can i get asm/semaphore.h | 03:42 |
| antIP | edbian: Dude. I've been using Windows since 3.1 for workgroups. The last couple of years I've downloaded and installed Ubuntu along side windows. I had a couple of things holding me back from going 100% Linux. Well I've overcome those obstacles now, and for the first time in decades I'm going totally Linux (no dual boot with windows) tonight. I'm getting pizza and bear and I'm going to wipe windows off my laptop and desktop. Don't need it, don't want it. Thanks | 03:42 |
| antIP | to guys like you helping people like me out. Thanks. | 03:42 |

| foul_owl | antIP: that rules | 03:43 |
| edbian | antIP, Just because of something I did? I'm thrilled and honored :) Thank you! | 03:43 |
| antIP | edbian: I meant to say pizza and beer ;) | 03:43 |
| edbian | antIP, bear is less fun | 03:43 |
| antIP | edbian: well, because of guys like you. I've been in and out of this channel under different names for 2 years. Thanks to all the helpful people here I'm absolutely convinced that I don't need windows anymore. And that's coming from a graphic designer/web developer and podcaster. Linux and FOSS does it all!! | 03:44 |
| Khalexus | Hey there. Anyone out there who might be able to walk me through installing ubunto netbook 10.04 alongside Windows 7? Stuck at steps 4 and 5 in the installation - I don't want to erase Win7, but I can't seem to manually select a partition in step 5 without the message "no root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." - if someone wants to open a private window | 03:44 |

| tensorpudding | foul_owl: it's not in /usr/include/asm, are you sure you have it | 03:51 |
| foul_owl | tensorpudding: i didn't compile my kernel though. not sure if that matters | 03:51 |
| tank_ | ranthi: i can't connect to a wireless access point, wireless manager just says disconnected | 03:51 |
| foul_owl | tensorpudding: gspca can't build, can't find that file | 03:52 |
| tensorpudding | foul_owl: there is a strong possibility that it is deprecated then | 03:52 |

| caixianzhe | how to restart | 03:56 |
| foul_owl | thanks, i might do that. right now i am looking at easycam2, trying to find repos for that | 03:56 |

| gstarx90 | Anom01y, jockey-gtk couldn't find any | 03:57 |
| ranthi | tank, get the windows driver and copy it into linux and use the ndiswrapper utility to start it | 03:57 |
| tensorpudding | foul_owl: a search on kernel trap reveals that it seems to be deprecated in favor of linux/semaphore.h as of 2008 | 03:57 |
| Anom01y | gstarx90, so I am not using any then ? | 03:57 |
| gstarx90 | Anom01y, no | 03:57 |
| wildblue | Looking for some info on installing fonts. If anyone is familiar with it, I'd be grateful for a fool-proof method. | 03:58 |
| Anom01y | gstarx90, ok so how do I get drivers working for this then ? | 03:58 |
| tensorpudding | foul_owl: it might be possible to patch the files by replacing all instances of the old asm/semaphore.h with the new linux/semaphore.h and have it work | 03:58 |
| Anom01y | gstarx90, I am wondering if this could be why the computer is freezing randomly.. | 03:58 |
| gstarx90 | Anom01y, graphics card? | 03:58 |
| Anom01y | it freezes but I can still move the mouse cursor around the screen, however I can't click anything. | 03:59 |

| gstarx90 | Anom01y, i've had problems with that with my harddrive long ago, but you can try getting the drivers for your graphics card | 03:59 |
| Anom01y | ok what command do I use to determine the graphics card ? | 04:00 |

| brishu_ | hey folks, I know this is incredibly dangerous,but is there a way i can make it so that I don't need a password to enable sudo? I only need it temporarily | 04:07 |
| ruien | Does anyone know if it is possible to allow non-root users to chown files they own, with authentication? (i.e. prompted for the password of the user which is receiving file ownership) This would avoid suid exploits but allow users to chown files between accounts they have access to. Thanks in advance! | 04:08 |
| tensorpudding | brishu_: check out /etc/sudoers | 04:08 |
| brishu_ | thank you, I will | 04:09 |
| thune3 | brishu_: i would recommend getting a root shell with "sudo -i" for periods where you *must* have root for a stretch without entering passord. be careful, etc. | 04:09 |
| tensorpudding | brishu_: specifically, man sudoers | 04:09 |
| rww | brishu_: 1) use "sudo visudo" to edit the sudoers file, don't just edit it in a text editor, 2) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo , under "Remove Password Prompt For sudo" | 04:09 |

| thune3 | H2OyJaBoN: no, it is only automatic within the ubuntu setup for ubuntu kernel upgrades, you would have to figure out how to invoke it manually for your custom kernel after installing the modules to /lib/ | 04:48 |
| H2OyJaBoN | thune3: ahh I see, I'll check it out. thanks ;)! | 04:49 |
| thune3 | earthling_: that looks fine. i'm getting more confues. Did you try rebooting, i would prefer to debug on another boot, since something seems inconsistent. | 04:50 |
| RyanT5000 | i'm having some trouble getting an mdadm raid5 array to come up on boot; furthermore, when i assemble the array using mdadm -A --scan, it only finds 2 out or 3 drives, but when i assemble ("start") it with palimpsest (Disk Utility), it works just fine | 04:51 |
| RyanT5000 | has anyone else encountered this kind of mdadm trouble? | 04:51 |
| earthling_ | thune3, I logged out and back in, does rebooting affect the hardware differently? I hadn't rebooted in a long while, I just do log out/log in when I install new programs and updates | 04:53 |
| martyb | Question: how do i update my kernal, im told by the internet thats what i need to get my wireless working on my eeePC with ubuntu 10.4(netbook) | 04:54 |
| martyb | i ran the device updates and it installed a lot of stuff but still doesnt see any wireless networks. Also, it should just show an available wireless netowrk shouldnt it? i dont have to configure anything? | 04:55 |
| theixle | martyb: I'm very shocked that anything with your kernel has to do with your wireless | 04:55 |
| AbhiJit | !kernel | martian | 04:55 |
| ubottu | martian: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 04:55 |

| theixle | martyb: how is your wireless network set up? | 04:56 |
| martyb | i just have a netgear wireless router with a home network | 04:56 |
| ubuntu | Hello I am new to ubuntu, and running it from usb, if i install some package it is removed after restart of computer | 04:56 |
| theixle | martyb: do you have any computers directly connected to the router? | 04:56 |
| thune3 | earthling_: sound setup is done through boot scripts, you would need a complete reboot (there are other ways though) to get sound reset. | 04:56 |
| AndrewMC | ubuntu: Yes | 04:56 |
| martyb | just my netbook because the wireless isnt up | 04:57 |

| ouyes | whosjose, just maxsimum | 04:57 |
| theixle | martyb: If your wireless network was set up properly (on the router) then your ubuntu machine should find it easily | 04:57 |
| whosjose | ouyes: I've tried but I get an error:( | 04:57 |
| theixle | martyb: I would investigate your wireless network settings on the router | 04:57 |
| martyb | oh ok | 04:58 |
| martyb | it works on my windows machine | 04:58 |
| ubuntu | I am running ubuntu from usb | 04:58 |

| theixle | martyb: Well if other machines are finding the wifi network, it's not a problem in the router. I have to run so I can't help any further with what's going on with your particular network app. Sorry. | 05:05 |

| repoman1022 | well i guess nobody in the ubuntu world wants to help a new user | 05:29 |

| theixle | nice to see martyb is still getting help :) | 05:40 |
| whosjose | DARUDE: i also believe youtube needs java installed but unsure. | 05:40 |
| jacqdevilla | How to go into my disc tree from a live CD : even with my pw, it blocks ! | 05:40 |
| DARUDE | ok i just did | 05:40 |
| DARUDE | sudo apt-get update | 05:40 |
| Asigottech | misterB: been there done that :D you need your key though | 05:40 |
| Acidphase | gkfcsk: Best bet is go into synaptic and look at the package history, and rather than "uninstall" try to change to a earlier version | 05:40 |
| xangua | whosjose: youtube needs java......... O_o | 05:41 |
| misterB | Asigottech: got that | 05:41 |
| DARUDE | whosjose and xangua thank you for your help guys | 05:41 |
| DARUDE | I appreciate it | 05:41 |
| martyb | hehe | 05:41 |
| FunkyDude | 3-cheers for linux, yippee | 05:41 |
| gkfcsk | xangua: whosjose youtube needs flash not java... | 05:41 |
| martyb | well | 05:41 |
| DARUDE | and martyb. | 05:41 |
| martyb | i updated the kernal but still cant see any wireless netowkrs | 05:41 |
| martyb | where would i even see the wireless network?? | 05:41 |
| misterB | Asigottech: you can use the ecryptfs tools to reconsruct it using your pwd. I've done that much before | 05:41 |
| ZoneOUT83 | thune3, Sorry I ran into an old friend on this server lol you still there? | 05:41 |
| Asigottech | misterB: cool as then, got some links in my email will dig them out | 05:42 |
| DARUDE | But if Adobe Flash player sucks on ubuntu | 05:42 |
| DARUDE | What do get to awtch fullscreened youtube videos | 05:42 |
| whosjose | gkfcsk: before you needed both of them installed for better viewing... | 05:42 |
| DARUDE | without lag | 05:42 |
| jacqdevilla | Other question ; in which file is stored all the installed items ? | 05:42 |
| martyb | if theres a wireless network around me, where do i detect it on my laptop ubuntu 10.4 netbook | 05:42 |
| whosjose | DARUDE: are you watching a HD video ? | 05:42 |
| ZoneOUT83 | thune3, Well whenever I install a new program with the package manager I want it to start using the new drive from now on, how do I set that up? | 05:42 |
| Asigottech | misterB: same routine then with the ones in lost and found, just copy them somewhere and work on them there | 05:42 |
| theixle | martyb: this gives the basics to connecting to a wireless network https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/wireless-connecting.html | 05:43 |

| at05gt | theixle: its the basic clock app that comes with ubuntu, any idea where the error logs would be? | 05:46 |

| martyb | it works! | 05:48 |
| `3Shades | I guess I'm back to: Anyone know how to change where your programs from your package manager gets installed? | 05:48 |
| AbhiJit | martyb, uname -r | 05:48 |
| nogo | iirc, ubuntu doesn't install rkhunter by default, maybe linux mint does | 05:48 |
| misterB | Asigottech: I could probably make a fair guess as to which one was my .Private directory though. Are there any other key files that matter? | 05:48 |
| martyb | thankyou AbhiJit | 05:48 |

| maco | synackfin: you can use a journaled filesystem within lvm, such as ext3 or ext4 | 05:49 |
| AbhiJit | martyb, np | 05:49 |
| whosjose | I wonder, perhaps is the error that im getting because I'm on linux? I'm trying to switch back to windows as my main OS. | 05:49 |

| Rena1 | can anyone suggest a easy way to virtually upload windows xp on my ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| tensorpudding | Rena1: What do you mean by "virtually upload" | 05:58 |
| Chippy | I don't understand some of this. | 05:58 |
| Chippy | well_laid_lawn: what is a suid binary and why would they be hidden? | 05:58 |
| Rena1 | i want to run xp with my ubuntu ... i dont want to have only one os | 05:58 |
| misterB | Rena1: get image of your xp using clonezilla; create virtual machine and restore image to it. | 05:58 |
| misterB | Rena1: or just install it on a virtual machine | 05:58 |
| headstrong | Rena1: install kvm and start to rock and roll | 05:59 |
| RyanT5000 | does anyone here use mdadm on lucid? | 05:59 |
| headstrong | Rena1: i have done it. | 05:59 |
| tensorpudding | Rena1: You want to run XP inside Ubuntu, or run them side by side? | 05:59 |
| Chippy | I'm just going to reinstall windows... | 05:59 |
| Chippy | I don't understand any of this. | 05:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | Chippy: a binary is is an executable file like windows .exe files and a setuid binary changes the permissions the file is run under - so it is like root ran it | 05:59 |

| Chippy | but why are they on my computer? | 06:00 |
| Chippy | who put them there and how? | 06:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | Chippy: you prob allowed the rootkit to install when you changed your user to roots id | 06:00 |
| Rena1 | which ever is easier chippy | 06:00 |
| Rena1 | i think side by side? | 06:00 |
| Chippy | but how did i get the rootkit? | 06:00 |
| Chippy | sounds like a virus to me | 06:00 |
| misterB | Rena1: side-by-side implies you're going to restart your computer to switch from one to the other. | 06:00 |
| Chippy | ubuntu isn't supposed to have those | 06:00 |
| bobstro | Chippy: it sounds like you bypassed one of the primary protections. | 06:00 |
| Rena1 | ohhh. .. | 06:01 |
| whosjose | headstrong: no the old laptop I have has ubuntu and i'm giving it to her, she doesn't understand ubuntu to much so im trying to get it back over to windows. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316401 | 06:01 |

| wasnik | hi guys ubuntu is not detecing my soundcards, both on aplay -l as well as lspci and lshw | 06:01 |
| bobstro | Chippy: well, when you do something that requires admin privileges. that's not everything. | 06:01 |
| bobstro | Chippy: so i think that's the answer to your question. | 06:01 |
| Chippy | it's a lot of things. | 06:01 |
| headstrong | whosjose: your mom is smart | 06:01 |
| whosjose | headstrong: no shes not | 06:02 |
| headstrong | haha | 06:02 |
| misterB | Rena1: if you want to run windows at the same time as ubuntu, you're going to have to run one of them in a virtual machine. | 06:02 |
| whosjose | headstrong: at least not with computers | 06:02 |
| tensorpudding | Rena1: Virtualization allows you to run Windows inside Ubuntu, like a program, but it is resource intensive | 06:02 |
| headstrong | whosjose: don't judge your mom, she has her reasons | 06:02 |
| bobstro | Chippy: that's just like making a windows user admin. | 06:02 |
| whosjose | headstrong: she was able to freeze my comp which i have NEVER done in the past 5months | 06:02 |
| tensorpudding | Rena1: If you have new hardware that supports virtualization extensions you can get better performance | 06:02 |
| Chippy | I didn't know there was any other user than Administrator in Windows. | 06:02 |
| whosjose | headstrong: i know what im talking about, why can't noone come up with a solution! | 06:03 |
| Rena1 | misterB: Is there a place for stupid people .... that can help you go through step by step on this? cus i really love ubuntu.. but my daughters school has to have xp and i only need that some times not always ... | 06:03 |
| bobstro | Chippy: well, there is! that was the big new security feature set they introduced. | 06:03 |
| abstrusenick | can i ask question partially related to ruby here? | 06:03 |
| at05gt | anybody know the app name of the gnome panel clock? | 06:04 |
| bobstro | Chippy: did you open up servers or such to the internet? | 06:04 |
| headstrong | ubuntu is the best. like redhat/mandrake in old good days | 06:04 |
| at05gt | that comes with Ubuntu? | 06:04 |
| ziroday | at05gt: gnome-panel? | 06:04 |
| Chippy | just ssh, but my friend told me to do it and that it was safe. | 06:04 |
| misterB | Rena1: not that I know of... how old is your computer? | 06:04 |
| tensorpudding | They introduced multiple accounts in Windows in NT didn't they? | 06:04 |
| Rena1 | ohhh so i need the xp disks.. that is the problem.. because i lost them... and i dont know how to burn them (just downloaded ubuntu today) | 06:04 |
| at05gt | ziroday: thats the panel itself i need the app name of the clock | 06:04 |
| tensorpudding | That's not really a big new security feature... | 06:04 |
| bobstro | Chippy: hmm. depends on how well you protect it. | 06:04 |
| wasnik | hi guys ubuntu is not detecing my soundcards, both on aplay -l as well as lspci and lshw | 06:04 |
| Chippy | what do you mean, protect it? | 06:05 |
| bobstro | tensorpudding: the requirement to allow certain things. | 06:05 |
| ziroday | at05gt: its a gnome-panel applet, there is no separate executable/package | 06:05 |
| tensorpudding | oh, you mean UAC? | 06:05 |
| bobstro | Chippy: well, if you didn't use good passwords and such. | 06:05 |
| Chippy | i told him my password because he said he needed it | 06:05 |
| tensorpudding | I guess that's new. | 06:05 |
| bobstro | tensorpudding: yes, taht stuff. | 06:05 |
| misterB | Rena1: do you have xp installed on any computers you're not using? | 06:05 |
| bobstro | tensorpudding: which is roughly analogous to the features in ubuntu. | 06:05 |
| Rena1 | not that old | 06:05 |
| headstrong | Chippy: i paste my passwords onto the monitor | 06:05 |
| misterB | Rena1: I guess you'd say this is the step-by-step place. | 06:06 |
| Rena1 | nope just vista .... OH can i down load visa? | 06:06 |
| bobstro | Chippy: you could also have restricted it, used non-default ports or done other things. if you've got weak security, then opening a door like ssh is not a good idea. | 06:06 |
| tensorpudding | Rena1: If you don't have the XP disks, there is not much you can do to getting XP back on your machine short of obtaining new ones, legally or illegally. | 06:06 |
| bobstro | Chippy: my point is that you can do similarly unfortunate things using windows is all. | 06:06 |
| quiescens | if you gave an administrator level password to someone else then it might not even have been you that broke things | 06:06 |
| Chippy | i thought ubuntu was supposed to be secure, and that I didn't have to do anything | 06:07 |
| at05gt | ziroday: but if i shut down gnome panel to fix it i lose all my bars dont i? | 06:07 |
| bobstro | Chippy: it's like seatbelts. you can BE secure. | 06:07 |
| Chippy | apparently, I was wrong. | 06:07 |
| wasnik | hi guys ubuntu is not detecing my soundcards, both on aplay -l as well as lspci and lshw please help | 06:07 |
| misterB | Rena1, tensorpudding: If you don't have the disks, but you have windows installed on a computer, you're not out of luck. You can grab an image using clonezilla, but it's a little involved. | 06:07 |
| ziroday | at05gt: what exactly is wrong? | 06:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | Chippy: you can make it very insecure | 06:07 |
| bobstro | Chippy: as opposed to other OS that allow users to unknowingly let bad stuff in. | 06:07 |
| quiescens | chippy: if you didn't do anything but keep it up to date it may well have been secure, it doesn't stay secure once you start giving away passwords and changing default security protocols | 06:07 |
| Rena1 | i had xp about 4 hours ago lol .. then i installed ubuntu? you think i still get it? | 06:07 |
| bobstro | Chippy: you basically turned off the protection setting uid to 0. | 06:08 |
| tensorpudding | Chippy: Your brand new car can be very safe, but if you remove the airbags and don't wear a seatbelt you neglect a lot of the safety | 06:08 |
| at05gt | ziroday: the clock on the bar is frozen to 2 hours ago | 06:08 |
| Chippy | Alright, I'm bored of wasting your time. Everything I've said is a lie and I'm administrator of a few Debian and FreeBSD servers. I had fun distracting you from real problems. | 06:08 |
| Chippy | Bye. | 06:08 |

| at05gt | ziroday: wont i lose my bars? | 06:08 |
| bobstro | yeah, i hope he didn't... nah. | 06:08 |

| at05gt | i have no option to lock the actual bars | 06:10 |
| at05gt | just the items on them | 06:10 |
| ziroday | at05gt: correct | 06:12 |
| FunkyDude | wow, that was easy to install AMP | 06:12 |
| at05gt | ziroday: ya im not talking about the items switching places, when i log in the actual bars are not in the same place as when i logged out | 06:12 |
| at05gt | ziroday: i have 3 running an i have them in a specific order | 06:12 |

| masen | the issue affects multiple applications trying to claim the soundcard at once and not going thru alsa | 06:30 |

| wunjo | ubottu | 06:33 |
| wunjo | Here are the small details | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | nuuuubi: then i'd reinstall lxde. It should add | 06:33 |
| nuuuubi | ok... | 06:34 |
| nuuuubi | o' | 06:34 |
| nuuuubi | i;ll install xfce just in case | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nuuuubi: its how you switch de. You can switch wm in the session at will | 06:34 |

| FunkyDude | nevermind, i was looking at the config for mysql, not phpmyadmin oO | 06:35 |
| ibawt | whats the diff between primary and logical partitions? | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | nuuuubi: you can switch wm like this: openbox --replace ,just change openbox (default wm in lxde) to what you like. Its why you see all those: compiz --replace ,commands around | 06:35 |
| jeand | en francais | 06:36 |

| FunkyDude | newbie question #23, how do i open a file that's read-only (owner is root)? | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ibawt: if you need more you have 3 pimary and one extended. You can then make a tonne of logical partitions in the extended | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: use sudo, just like any other root stuff like that | 06:37 |
| === pooky_ is now known as pooky | ||
| ibawt | ok | 06:38 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, thanks, but how do i open the file with sudo? it's a text file | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: so for a text file: gksudo gedit file | 06:38 |
| === ibrahim is now known as ibrahim-kasem | ||
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: if you are thinking about modifying grub.cfg (which this smells like) then dont | 06:39 |
| ibawt | i just set up my installation and have 128mb swap + 3.5GB root + another primary partition for home | 06:39 |
| === T0mF00lery is now known as redrocket | ||
| FunkyDude | no, i need to modify a config file in phpmyadmin | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ibawt: why such a small swap? Do you only have 64mb ram? | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: cool :) | 06:39 |
| ibawt | ActionParsnip: because I have no idea what im doing T_T | 06:40 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, gksudo gedit file is file the filepath + filename to my file? | 06:40 |
| ibawt | 4gbs of ram | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: you can use absolute or relevant paths, its all the same | 06:41 |
| RyanT5000 | so, it looks like mdadm is failing on boot because it scans right after the first disk comes online | 06:41 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, am i'm suppose to run that command in terminal? | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ibawt: for swap its relevant to your ram amount. If you have 2Gb ram or more then make swap the same amount. If you have less than 2gb ram then set the swap size to double your ram amount | 06:42 |
| RyanT5000 | is there a way to make it wait for all the disks to come up, or to rescan after each disk, or something like that? | 06:42 |
| ibawt | ok | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: or ALT+F2 promt. You can even just use: gksudo gedit ,then open the file from within gedit | 06:42 |
| RyanT5000 | i could add a sleep command to mdadm's init script, but that seems like a very silly approach | 06:42 |
| ibawt | i can't get ubuntu to install properly anyway I keep getting a grub-install error at 93 percent | 06:43 |
| Pertheria | Hey, quick quick question.. if I were to actually install the 10.10 beta, when it comes release, will i just be able to use the software center to do a full update to get beta to full? | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | RyanT5000: if it works then i'd roll with it | 06:43 |
| Pertheria | or will i have to reinstall | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pertheria: you will upgrade seamlessly | 06:43 |
| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: yeah; it just seems like there should be a better way :P | 06:43 |
| sandGorgon | anybody know if there is a postgresql-9 ppa for ubuntu ? | 06:43 |
| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: from looking at dmesg, it appears that just a few seconds will do it | 06:43 |
| Pertheria | ActionParsnip - Thank you sir :) | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pertheria: on release day you'll get the updates for the day and you will have the rc | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | RyanT5000: nice, some take ages (old scsi used to wait 15 secs) | 06:44 |
| abstrusenick | is there any similar command like top on ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrusenick: yes, top is in ubuntu too | 06:45 |
| abstrusenick | i had problem with top | 06:45 |
| Acidphase | lo | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | sandGorgon | 06:45 |

| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: hm; now i just have to figure out how to add a delay | 06:45 |
| abstrusenick | is there any other that is similar? | 06:45 |
| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: i guess i need to delay the loading of the md kernel module? | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sandGorgon: tried searching launchpad (see link) | 06:45 |
| abstrusenick | i would prefer non interactive ones | 06:45 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, when i do that ALT+F2 and run gksudo gedit, it creates a new document instead of opening the one i want | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrusenick: ps -ef | less ,would do it | 06:46 |
| abstrusenick | ActionParsnip: i actually need the info for cpu and memory | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: no file is saved though. Its like opening and text editor. Use the file menu to open the file | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrusenick: free -m ,will show ram use | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrusenick: if you read: man top ,you can make it only output 1 iteration and stop | 06:47 |
| sandGorgon | ActionParsnip, all right.. gonna search. thanks | 06:47 |
| abstrusenick | ActionParsnip: yeah i did use -n 1, but when i run the command from ruby, i can't get the output | 06:47 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, oh i see, ok its like it runs a gedit instance as the root user, thank you :) | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrusenick: not used ruby. Maybe someone else can help in that respect. Or ask in a ruby channel | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: gksudo for gui apps like gedit. Sudo ONLY for commands which stay in terminal | 06:49 |
| quiescens | abstrusenick: top -bn1 | 06:49 |
| abstrusenick | quiescens: what is -b for? | 06:50 |
| abstrusenick | batch? | 06:50 |
| RyanT5000 | ok, so it looks like i need to add the boot option "raid=noautodetect" | 06:50 |
| RyanT5000 | how do i do that? | 06:50 |
| quiescens | technically batch | 06:50 |
| abstrusenick | what does it do differerntly? | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | RyanT5000: add it in the quotes with quiet splash in /etc/default/grub ,save the file then run: sudo update-grub | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | RyanT5000: same with all boot options ; | 06:51 |
| quiescens | mostly just means it will avoid things like control characters or trying to read input or using stderr where possible | 06:51 |
| ibrahim-kasem | !ultimateedition | 06:51 |
| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: so, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" "raid=noautodetect" | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !ultimate | ibrahim-kasem | 06:51 |
| ubottu | ibrahim-kasem: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition | 06:51 |
| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: is that right? or do i concatenate the strings | 06:52 |
| quiescens | abstrusenick: it will also list every process rather than assuming that it has to try to fit on a screen | 06:52 |
| wasnik | ubuntu is not recognizin my soundcards lspci, lshw, aplay -l dont show it. my soundcard is conexant hd audio please help | 06:52 |
| abstrusenick | quiescens: are u familiar with ruby on rails? | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | RyanT5000: the quotes should be all on, not seperate so it will be ="quiet splash raid=noautodetect" | 06:52 |
| RyanT5000 | ActionParsnip: ok, great; thanks | 06:52 |
| haro | hi, polkitd is taking 50% of CPU time , and eating RAM at a steady pace , after an hour and a half the system is swaping and trashing all the RAM . I know this has happend to ather folks in ubuntu 10.04. Is there a known solution ? | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | wasnik | 06:53 |
| ubottu | wasnik: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 06:53 |

| DARUDE | hey | 06:53 |
| DARUDE | does anyone know how to install the Packages that are 'marked' in the Synaptiac Package Manager | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: was simply triggering ubottu. She has some cool links to fix sound | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | DARUDE: marked as what? | 06:54 |
| cpf_ | Hi guys, how do I enable coredumping with a own-written daemon? | 06:54 |
| haro | ActionParsnip: yes. The bug is reported in April this year. Has a solution been found ? | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | DARUDE: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,sounds logical to me | 06:54 |
| wasnik | ActionParsnip: went through those links before, nothiing helped. My soundcard is not gettin deteced | 06:54 |
| DARUDE | ActionParsnip | 06:54 |
| DARUDE | marked to install | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | haro: if its still open then no | 06:55 |
| DARUDE | no id ont want to remove it | 06:55 |
| DARUDE | I want to install it | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | DARUDE: click apply updates (I think its a green tick) | 06:55 |
| DARUDE | I can't find the button on that Synaptic Package Manager | 06:55 |
| DARUDE | The apply button is grayed | 06:55 |
| quiescens | abstrusenick: not really | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: use alsamixer to ensure all channels are unmuted and cranked | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | DARUDE: did you run it with gksudo? | 06:56 |
| DARUDE | no | 06:56 |
| DARUDE | i ran it with sudo | 06:56 |
| wasnik | Actionparsnip, i getr alsamixer, no such mixer. also if no soundcards are even detected its a problem with ubuntu rather than alsa right | 06:56 |
| daniel_ | irc.all4y.net | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: is you sound chip onboard or a proper sound card? | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | DARUDE: sudo isn't to be used for gui apps | 06:57 |
| wasnik | actionparsnip, its an onboard chip | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: is your system a branded system or homebrew? | 06:58 |
| wasnik | Actionparsnip, what is the difference. well its a compaq presario | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: is it a laptop? | 06:58 |
| wasnik | Actionparsnip, yes its a laptop | 06:58 |
| DARUDE | ah that worked great | 06:58 |
| DARUDE | than you ActionParsnip | 06:58 |
| Firefishe | wasnik: 2100 series? | 06:59 |
| wasnik | Firefishe, no f755us | 06:59 |
| Ko0LAiD | anyone know cURL here? | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: you may need to add an option in /etc/modprobe.d in one of the alsa file to add the module option: option=compaq ,or similar | 06:59 |
| Firefishe | nm then | 06:59 |
| === pooky_ is now known as pooky | ||
| ActionParsnip | DARUDE: gksudo for gui apps. Sudo ONLY for commands staying in terminal | 07:00 |
| DARUDE | that will be noted | 07:00 |
| DARUDE | thank you very much for that | 07:00 |
| wasnik | Actionparsnip, which alsa file | 07:00 |
| FunkyDude | how do i create a new folder? (or directory) | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: any will do. You system need to tell the sound system stuff. You add it in those files | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: mkdir foldername | 07:02 |
| wasnik | Actionparsnip, so i add a line 'option=compaq' in say alsa-base.conf | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: if the parent folder is owned by root, use; sudo mkdir foldername | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: read the other lines, you'll see the syntax. I suggest you websearch for guides for your particular model to see if there is a guide for it and what exactly needs to be used | 07:03 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, am I going to have to do that every time I want to create a folder or file in my www directory? | 07:04 |
| wasnik | ActionParsnip, I did search online for compaq laptops, i didnt find anything linux related | 07:04 |
| FunkyDude | should i enable the "sharing service" for that folder | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: if you add your user to the owning group, you will get that access and should mean you avoid having to use sudo. Keeps your site safer too | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: not just compaq, the exact model you have | 07:05 |
| wasnik | ActionParsnip, I didnt get any linux documentation on that | 07:05 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, so should I install the "Sharing Service" and add my user to access the folder? | 07:06 |
| bobstro | Ko0LAiD: i've used it, but not regularly for awhile. | 07:07 |
| bobstro | Ko0LAiD: what are you trying to do? | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: I believe the data is goup owned by www-data group | 07:07 |
| FunkyDude | no, it just says root | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: the you would have seen the line: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: this page has a few options for compaq systems you could try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568 | 07:09 |
| FunkyDude | is "sharing" the folder something to do with network sharing? | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: ok then if you run: gksudo nauttilus ,you can do it all in gui. Be VERY careful with the app. It has great power | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: yes "sharing" means samba share the folder | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | wasnik: after you change the line you will need to save the file and reboot. If there's no sound, re-edit and try the next one | 07:11 |
| uncle_ben | i must be overlooking something. what's the best mount command for giving one user (not every user) rw access to an external drive? | 07:11 |

| CasualWalker | ActionParsnip : NVIDIA GeForce G 210M with 512MB of VRAM | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | uncle_ben: I believe it does. Try adding uid=1000,rw and your user will have full rw access(also remove the defaults option) | 07:17 |

| ubottu | CasualWalker: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:17 |
| uncle_ben | ActionParsnip, ok, i'll try...thanks | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | CasualWalker: if your monitor isn't reporting info when asked you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,then restart x | 07:19 |
| CasualWalker | whats that command ActionParsnip.. do i need to get that output from terminal? | 07:19 |
| FunkyDude | i need to somehow get full access to the www folder, it's owner and group is set to "root" | 07:19 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: have you ever seen or heard of Ubuntu freaking an entire system out on bootup? I mean, I just bought a new system and am trying to get setup on it, so when I go to bootup the livecd (using usb jumpdrive), the bootup process initializes the video, the screen blanks, it seems to try to find the video res mode, then fails | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: what file manager do you use? | 07:19 |
| CasualWalker | ActionParsnip : i guess i tried that command.. well let me try once again before you | 07:19 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: and by 'fail', I mean that the only way out of it is via sysrq+b | 07:19 |
| FunkyDude | file manager? I'm just using the regular interface that came with Ubuntu to browse the folders | 07:19 |
| Gnea | other than reset and power-off | 07:20 |

| CasualWalker | what should i search in the ubuntu software centre ? | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | CasualWalker: there is a hardware installer in the system -> admin menu. Have you seen that? | 07:22 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: specifically, using 10.04 32bit or 64bit on a zotac geforce 9300 microatx motherboard with a geforce 9300 video card. oddly enough, I can bring backtrack to boot into a full gui, but anything ubuntu-based? heh.. | 07:22 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: looking | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: I believe backtrack have bundled the nvidia drivers in | 07:22 |
| CasualWalker | ActionParsnip : nop.. i am not getting that menu. | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: most times that link works. You may have to blacklist nouveau on the bootoption | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | CasualWalker: ok then: gksudo jockey-gtk ,should launch it | 07:24 |
| wrenny | whats a good AV scanner for Ubuntu or is one needed? | 07:25 |

| Gambit- | how do you determine what user groups a process is running under? | 07:32 |
| uncle_ben | even sudo mount -v -t ntfs-3g -o users,rw is giving me permission denied when i try copying to the mounted drive | 07:32 |
| FunkyDude | ActionParsnip, thanks I got it, i wasn't putting the full filepath in sudo chown user /var/www | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Gambit-: ps -ef | grep name | 07:32 |
| nikolam | Does anyone have opinion on SWAP: Should Swapping on swap partitions would be faster if Swap partition is made on top of Software RAID0 MD device OR should (If user have 2HDDs on desktop) each HDD have swap partition and get Linux to use both of swap partitions separately on both of disks as it pleased. What would be faster RAID0 soft. or separate swaps on 2 disks? | 07:32 |
| Gambit- | *takes a look* | 07:32 |
| Gambit- | ActionParsnip, who is no longer here, I believe that is incorrect - that just shows one process. | 07:33 |
| Gambit- | er, id | 07:33 |
| whosjose | Is there anyway to repartition without the live CD? | 07:34 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Hi, how can i see what user groups am i in? | 07:34 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, ps --group blah | 07:34 |
| uncle_ben | nikolam, i have two swaps on two seperate disks. swapon -s shows a priority of -1 for the first disk and -2 for the second...i've heard you can set the same priority for both swap partitions and the linux kernel will interleave between the two for faster file operations | 07:34 |
| uncle_ben | but i wonder if that assuming the same hard drives with the same RPMs | 07:35 |
| whosjose | ibrahim-kasem: System -> Administration -> Users & Groups | 07:35 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, no, I want to find the list of all the groups a process is running within. For example, when I run 'id' as a user, I get a list of groups that I am a member of. I would like to see that list for a given process. | 07:35 |
| Gambit- | Sorry, the term process group is overloaded. | 07:35 |
| DARUDE | oh my | 07:36 |
| ibrahim-kasem | whosjose: And how can I see what are the groups the my user is in? | 07:36 |
| DARUDE | i ran the ,'sensors' command in terminal | 07:36 |
| DARUDE | and it shows 99degrees | 07:36 |
| DARUDE | and climbing | 07:36 |
| whosjose | ibrahim-kasem: You click on manage groups | 07:37 |
| DARUDE | heatsink fan problem it seems? | 07:37 |
| whosjose | ibrahim-kasem: The group name should be the username. | 07:37 |
| ibrahim-kasem | whosjose: It was right under my nose, thank you. | 07:37 |
| nikolam | uncle_ben, I need some confirmation about swap priority but my thinkng about setting them equally was exactly like yours. | 07:37 |
| uncle_ben | nikolam, yeah, but i haven't changed it to the same priority yet because i don't have any answer on whether it's critical that both drives are of the same speed...i don't have I/O errors and data corruption | 07:38 |
| Acidphase | Is there a way to make a image of my current install with all it's settings eg (themes grub settings etc) ? | 07:40 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, ps -eo %G%c # %c shows command, %G show group name | 07:41 |
| wrenny | whats a good AV scanner for Ubuntu or is one needed? | 07:41 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, so ps -eo %G%c|grep "command_name" show get what you want | 07:42 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, for details, see "man ps" | 07:42 |
| DARUDE | im going to replace the Thermal paste of this laptop | 07:42 |
| DARUDE | Hopefully this will fix it | 07:42 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, Linux itself doesn't need anti-virus | 07:42 |
| nikolam | uncle_ben, yeah. In my case they are 2 identical drives and partitions on them. I used to use md radi0 on them and later I changed, since someone was talking that using them as-is on partitions should be faster. I see now that only first is a bit used and second is not. Ok. back to googling :) | 07:42 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, but look at clamav if you are looking for anti-virus to run on Linux and eliminate possible windows virus relying on your system | 07:43 |
| Acidphase | mem[Physical: 7.8GB, 88.1% free - Swap: 22.9GB, 100.0% free] | 07:43 |
| tensorpudding | wrenny: there are antivirus programs available for Linux, but i think they mostly deal with viruses that could infect Windows machines | 07:44 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, There should be a long list of groups, though, not a single group. | 07:44 |
| === a is now known as kermit | ||
| icarus-c | Gambit-, what do you mean... each process can only run by a SINGLE user & his primary group | 07:44 |
| tensorpudding | wrenny: this isn't to say that linux isn't vulnerable to trojans, malware and exploits | 07:45 |
| Acidphase | whats the best way to make a image of my current install with all it's settings eg (themes grub settings etc) ? | 07:45 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, Oh interesting; what if there's a permission from a secondary group that the process needs? | 07:45 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, why would it need that. is it file permisison that you are asking | 07:46 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, yup | 07:46 |
| FunkyDude | does anyone know how i can run VIM after installing it from the Synaptic Package? | 07:46 |
| Crash1hd | When I loginto my ubuntu install I get You have new mail in /var/mail/user <-- how do I access or forward this mail to my inbox? | 07:47 |
| tensorpudding | FunkyDude: open a terminal, type vim | 07:47 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, file permission depends on the file it is accessing. as far as i know, the process can access whatever the user has permission to | 07:47 |
| quiescens | funkydude: if all you installed is vim, then you type vim in a terminal and it will run inside that terminal | 07:47 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, that includes all the groups the user belong to | 07:48 |
| wrenny | yea I was just surfing and I got this google pop up say the site was infected | 07:48 |
| wrenny | in FF in Ubuntu | 07:48 |
| tensorpudding | FunkyDude: there is a package called GVim that provides a graphical terminal frontend with special menus and stuff | 07:48 |
| quiescens | if you want the graphical variant you're looking at installing vim-gnome package | 07:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | Crash1hd: in a terminal type mail | 07:48 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, so the process has access to all the groups the user belongs to - at the point in time that the process is created, correct? So how would I get that list? | 07:48 |
| FunkyDude | neither VIM or GVim seems to come up when i start typing in the ALT+F2 dialog | 07:49 |
| wrenny | but- I am using Ubuntu in Vbox | 07:49 |
| tensorpudding | wrenny: Exploits involving browsers might possibly be cross-platform | 07:49 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, run command "groups" as the user who run that process | 07:49 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, that only tells me what groups the user has from the point in time that that shell was started - not the same thing. | 07:49 |
| Crash1hd | well_laid_lawn, ok is there a way to get it to auto forward to my gmail? | 07:49 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, what you want to do actually | 07:50 |
| wrenny | have you even gotten a trojan or anything in Ubuntu? | 07:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | Crash1hd: not that I know - I think you would need to set up sendmail for that | 07:50 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, there is possibility to have trojan / worm on Linux. but i haven't know of any case of infection yet. except in experiment | 07:50 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, at this point it's actually somewhat academic :) but there's a gap in time that a process can have group memberships that aren't reflected in the memberships the user may have at some point in the future. I'm curious if it's possible to determine what those memberships are for the process, rather than looking at what is /now/ the memberships. | 07:50 |
| Crash1hd | well_laid_lawn, ahh ok :) | 07:50 |
| wrenny | there are a huge amount of website now that all you have to do is go to the site and it infects you, or is that only Windows browsers? | 07:50 |
| iflema | FunkyDude: try just vi in a terminal (alt+f2 gnome-terminal), if you cant start it i suggest doing some homework ;) | 07:51 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, no idea about that. i don't know the technical detail of how process works in Linux | 07:52 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, no worries :) | 07:52 |
| Gambit- | icarus-c, thanks for the well meaning suggestions, though! | 07:52 |
| icarus-c | Gambit-, you're welcome | 07:52 |
| Acidphase | whats the best way to make a image of my current install with all it's settings eg (themes grub settings etc) ? | 07:52 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, that's why we have NoScript addon in firefox :) | 07:53 |
| wrenny | does Firefox in Ubuntu use activeX at all? | 07:53 |
| Acidphase | or even a backup for that matter | 07:53 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, no. ActiveX is a Windows crap | 07:53 |
| === quiesense is now known as quiescens | ||
| icarus-c | wrenny, but i don't think firefox on Windows uses ActiveX anyway | 07:53 |
| wrenny | yea but from what you said would NoScript even be needed for FF in Ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, besides, the worst exploit to firefox or whatever application should only affect the user who run the application. | 07:54 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, as long as you don't run application as root, your system wouldn't be affected | 07:54 |
| quiescens | of course, for most users, that may as well be the whole system | 07:54 |
| FunkyDude | iflema, vi in the terminal shows me the info about vim, but not how to launch files in it | 07:54 |
| tensorpudding | unless it uses some privilege escalation exploit | 07:54 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, but that doesn't imply you would be immune to trojan or worm. | 07:55 |
| tensorpudding | but those aren't cross-platform, it would require something specifically tooled to linux vulnerabilities which are not always available in a given version | 07:55 |
| icarus-c | quiescens, yea.. especially when all your file is deleted by malicious program | 07:55 |
| iflema | FunkyDude: vi [path/to/file] try nano [/path/to/file] | 07:55 |
| wrenny | im reading a website shows a bunch of alternative to ActiveX for Ubuntu | 07:55 |
| quiescens | people should take any precautions they are comfortable with taking | 07:55 |
| cjjnjust | hello | 07:56 |
| icarus-c | that's why i run web browser as another unimportant user account when i do pr0n or whatever nasty thing | 07:56 |
| FunkyDude | is there a way to just right click/open with VIM? | 07:56 |
| cjjnjust | hello is there any soft can view the .chm file | 07:56 |
| quiescens | the whole "oh people should switch away from windows to mac/linux because there are fewer virus issues" thing is silly, it only takes one to ruin a user's data | 07:56 |
| Grayback | whom to PM for support? | 07:57 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, because you don't really need activex to get things done :) | 07:57 |
| quiescens | funkydude: if you want the graphical variant, you need to install the vim-gnome package | 07:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | cjjnjust: I use xchm for that | 07:57 |
| tensorpudding | it only takes one to ruin a user's data, true | 07:57 |
| wrenny | i was just gonna ask | 07:57 |
| wrenny | I though activeX was needed for some websites | 07:57 |
| icarus-c | wrenny, yea IE only website | 07:57 |
| cjjnjust | well_laid_lawn, thanks, i try now | 07:57 |
| iflema | FunkyDude: install gvim... do you know what vi can do to your sanity? try gedit in the accessories menu?? | 07:57 |
| tensorpudding | there are probably some websites that still require activeX | 07:57 |
| tensorpudding | but in this day and age, when something like 20% of the market uses something other than IE, that's becoming very rare | 07:58 |
| wrenny | well I'm running Ubuntu in Vbox so | 07:58 |
| Rickardo1 | I need to run FSCK on my Ubuntu Server 10.04 .. but when I run the cd I got only options for reinstall. how can I get a shell? | 07:58 |
| wrenny | its basically sandboxed from the Host Win7 | 07:58 |
| wrenny | i guess | 07:58 |
| tensorpudding | moreover, IE has embraced web standards and interoperability | 07:58 |
| quibbler | cijnjust | 07:58 |
| FunkyDude | i wanted to try VIM b/c it doesnt look like gedit has quickkeys for things like commenting out lines and such | 07:58 |
| wrenny | im noob to Nix and Vbox | 07:58 |
| quibbler | chmsee | 07:58 |
| icarus-c | Rickardo1, you should boot the livecd by "Try ubuntu without installation" | 07:59 |
| icarus-c | or something like that | 07:59 |
| iflema | FunkyDude: nano has a lot ofshortcuts to (re)learn =) | 07:59 |

| quiescens | ultimately just being "less likely" shouldn't be a good enough reason not to be careful | 08:00 |

| d1337r | hi there, help please, i have a problem | 08:00 |
| wrenny | would you guys still recommend installing NoScript for FF within Ubuntu though? | 08:00 |
| d1337r | i have ubuntu 10.04 on sda1, and had to install windows 7 on sda2 | 08:00 |
| tensorpudding | for security reasons, not really | 08:00 |
| d1337r | how do I restore grub so I can boot ubuntu again? | 08:01 |
| tensorpudding | noscript is nice to remove the annoying parts of webpages though | 08:01 |
| d1337r | right now i am in parted magic livecd\ | 08:01 |
| tensorpudding | like random redirects, popups, flash advertisements | 08:01 |
| wrenny | true | 08:01 |
| tensorpudding | on the other hand, most sites nowadays use javascript to some extent | 08:01 |
| tensorpudding | so you'll probably end up whitelisting often | 08:01 |

| MissingPerson | i'm in nautilus, and yes it is a usb drive | 08:23 |

| icarus-c | wrenny_, drag the window around, resize it as your discretion | 08:25 |
| crazytrain | i am surprised by wubi.exe, on a linux cd | 08:26 |
| Grayback | huh? | 08:26 |
| icarus-c | crazytrain, it is for installing ubuntu inside Windows | 08:26 |
| crazytrain | i thought it's a virus | 08:26 |

| wrenny_ | whats another good IRC client that might tile many windows | 08:30 |
| wrenny_ | like mIRC | 08:30 |
| icarus-c | why you keep missing mIRC... | 08:30 |
| wrenny_ | i need the auto tile feature | 08:30 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: USB HDD | 08:30 |
| Blue1 | wrenny_: i am lazy and use pidgin. | 08:30 |
| MissingPerson | an external USB HDD | 08:31 |
| wrenny_ | that might work Blue1 | 08:31 |
| === crazytrain is now known as shotinthedark | ||
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Alright.. | 08:31 |
| wrenny_ | I've only used Pidgin on a U3 device | 08:31 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Well if you plug in a usb hard disk, it should mount automatically | 08:32 |
| wrenny_ | but its cool cuz it does all the IM stuff too | 08:32 |
| Blue1 | wrenny_: wow I hate messy userid -- anyway, the trick with pidgin, if you are on deferent networks (like freenode, efnet, undernet, etc) you have to use different nicks on each network | 08:32 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: the problem is that when i do, it doesn't. | 08:32 |
| wrenny_ | no biggy | 08:32 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Ya I get that. Then manuanl mount is required | 08:32 |
| Blue1 | wrenny_: indeed not a biggie, but it took me awhile to figure that out. | 08:32 |
| sinisterstuf | anyone know the purpose of the different files in .evolution/mail/local ? | 08:32 |
| wrenny_ | i just cant stand clicking back and forth on channels to see whats going on all over the place | 08:33 |
| Blue1 | sinisterstuf: sorry I use thunderbird - dunno -- maybe...the inbox/sent box files? | 08:33 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: What does this say in terminal - lsusb | 08:33 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: and "sudo fdisk -l" | 08:34 |
| sinisterstuf | Blue1, thunderbird has the same structure as evolution | 08:34 |
| Blue1 | wrenny_: no need it places them side by side, and turns red if there is activity on the channel, or blue if you are specifically mention. | 08:34 |
| Blue1 | sinisterstuf: prolly that then | 08:34 |
| wrenny_ | na | 08:34 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5Cp9ebLN | 08:34 |
| wrenny_ | i need tiling | 08:34 |
| sinisterstuf | I'd like to know what the different files are for, .cmeta .ibex .index .data .sbd | 08:35 |
| === shotinthedark is now known as duhast | ||
| Blue1 | wrenny_: not sure what tiling is but it is very easy to go from one tab to the other. | 08:35 |
| wrenny_ | i dont get whats so hard for Xchat not to have it as a feature | 08:35 |
| iflema | wrenny_: almost all clients play a sound for hightlighted words and havesome form of indication of activity in the list of rooms.... tilling irssi or weechat setup once and save | 08:35 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: and "sudo fdisk -l" .. | 08:35 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/eKfps68h | 08:35 |
| icarus-c | wrenny_, alternatively you could let Window Manager to do the tiling | 08:35 |
| wrenny_ | yea then the channels would be constantly dinging, NO | 08:35 |
| sweetpi | wrenny: alt+1,2,3, etc will switch tabs in xchat, and they change blue if someone said your name, red otherwise | 08:35 |
| duhast | how can you tile all windows if you have joint in 100 channels? | 08:36 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Have you tried any other usb drives simple ones? | 08:36 |

| MissingPerson | Aqaz: Only USB drive i have besides the card reader i mentioned. | 08:36 |
| iflema | duhast: that is just silly! | 08:36 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Does that work? | 08:37 |
| wrenny_ | i normally have liek 1/2 dozen channel open | 08:37 |
| icarus-c | station, System -> Administration -> Users and Group | 08:37 |
| Blue1 | station: easy way System/Adminstration/User and Groups | 08:37 |
| icarus-c | station, or use "usermod" command | 08:37 |
| wrenny_ | im mIRC i can click 1 button and see all channels at once | 08:37 |
| station | icarus-c: thank you | 08:37 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Are there any things peculiar when you insert the USB HDD in dmesg? | 08:37 |
| Blue1 | wrenny_: mirc works fine under wine | 08:38 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: no on card reader | 08:38 |
| icarus-c | wrenny_, well... just so you know you could run mirc with wine on linux | 08:38 |
| maedox | station, they are all wrong. you can't change your login id. | 08:38 |
| wrenny_ | hm | 08:38 |
| wrenny_ | i ned that then | 08:38 |
| wrenny_ | need | 08:38 |
| Gadena | Ëè | 08:38 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: Lastly, see what dmesg says after plugging the drive | 08:38 |
| icarus-c | wrenny_, but most of us don't work that way (detaching windows and fill the whole screen) | 08:38 |
| wrenny_ | anyone wanna help me get Wine installed. Total Noob here | 08:39 |

| nathan312 | Well, I can't reinstall it lol. Netbooks don't have CD drives | 08:49 |

I recently did some terminal command to make the windows key basically open up applications menu. here's the link: http://lifehacker.com/5625725/open-the-gnome-applications-menu-with-the-windows-key. And now when I boot up, it flashes my wallpaper, then a blank white screen, then my wallpaper again with an "X" as the cursor and back and forth | 08:56 |
| nathan312 | repeatedly...any idea ? | 08:56 |
| nathan312 | thanks blue1 | 08:56 |

| icarus-c | Xae, Windows version of Flash is known to be faster than the Linux/Mac OS X version | 08:56 |
| nathan312 | Could anyone help me with the problem I just said to Blue1? | 08:56 |
| Xae | icarus-c, flash aint an issue anymore.. | 08:57 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: postitive, i formatted it myself, and double-checked and confirmed it to be reiserfs when i was doing backup from livecd to reinstall karmic | 08:57 |
| Xae | now just my damn slow system :/ | 08:57 |
| icarus-c | Xae, what is it now | 08:57 |
| Xae | ubuntu 10.04 had to be forced on my laptop (e.g. old video card...) | 08:57 |
| Blue1Away | nathan312: what's the last thing you did? | 08:57 |
| icarus-c | Xae, what kind of slow? graphics? cpu? memory? (i doubt the later 2 though) | 08:57 |
| icarus-c | Xae, what video card do you have and what video driver you are using | 08:58 |
| Xae | icarus-c, slow start of apps, etc. | 08:58 |
| nathan312 | Blue1: I ran that script from the link I posted... | 08:58 |
| Blue1Away | Xae: ran into problem with intel 82815 chipset | 08:58 |

| maitrey | Hi to all. I've switched of my computer and it told me that I am currently downloading from rapidshare, which I do not. I have doubt whether is not someone connected to my computer (ubuntu 9,04). Can someone suggest how to check on it? I have the Firestarter firewall on, and it has a lot of Microsoft in the colon service, thats also something I don't understand.Please help. | 08:58 |
| Xae | icarus-c, dunno, it's an intel card, Toshiba Satellite L10-154 | 08:58 |
| Xae | Celeron M @ 1.40 Ghz | 08:58 |
| Xae | and 1,5 GB RAM | 08:58 |
| Blue1Away | nathan312: I am not the gconf guru. | 08:59 |
| nathan312 | Blue1: sorry, just trying to get some help here... | 08:59 |
| Blue1Away | night folks | 08:59 |
| icarus-c | Blue1Away, you could use GUI gconf-editor | 08:59 |
| nathan312 | icarus-c: can you help me with that problem? | 08:59 |
| Esat | how can i change installed software's language? | 09:00 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: It occurred only after update. Have you tried option to repair broken packages from recovery mode? Else have you tried using livecd and then seeing if it works? | 09:00 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: it works perfectly fine in livecd, as that's how i wound up backing up my documents before reinstalling | 09:01 |
| xid | are there ports blocked on initial install of a 10.04 server ec2 snapshop? | 09:01 |
| kjelle | in general shell commands, what does the prefixed {} mean? | 09:01 |
| kjelle | e.g. xargs ./script.sh {} | 09:01 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: lspci -v | grep HCI | 09:02 |
| kjelle | e.g find . -name '*.zip' -exec ./unzip.sh '{}' \; | 09:02 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, it should be set just set as "<Super>" | 09:02 |
| nathan312 | Is there a way to Re-Do (Possibly re-install) Ubuntu Netbook Remix? I'm having a problem with it. It boots up with an "X" as the cursor and flashes b/w my wallpaper and white screen constantly | 09:02 |
| Blue1Away | nathan312: you can always remove the gconf files: rm -r .gconf* -- and start over. | 09:02 |
| nathan312 | Blue1: what does that even do? | 09:02 |
| quiescens | kjelle: {} means nothing by itself, but for xargs it is the part that will be replaced and for find it happens to be the part that gets replaced by the filenames | 09:02 |
| Esat | how can i change installed software's language? | 09:03 |
| xid | seems like a port is blockd | 09:03 |

| NOMADICUS | I am trying to install VirtualBox 3.2, but it appears as though I have some sort of dependency problem. Here are the results: This is the message I get when I try to install 3.2: http://pastebin.com/tKreGACF. But all the dependencies appear to be current. How can I troubleshoot this? | 09:03 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: I've only last optin left of modprobe, hold on I'll get back after confirming on it .. | 09:03 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: ok, I'll be here | 09:03 |
| rxd | When you install ubuntu using wubi.exe to a hard drive does ubuntu filesystem resides on a partition ext3/ext4 or ubuntu files being installed on an ntfs partition inside a directory | 09:03 |
| maedox | kjelle, it's a way to tell the argument after -exec which files to work with. inside {} is the matches from the find command. | 09:04 |
| kjelle | quiescens: that made no sense to me, i will try to read more about {} for xars | 09:04 |
| kjelle | *xargs | 09:04 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, um right. "Super_L" | 09:04 |
| kjelle | maedox: okey. | 09:04 |
| slavik1 | kjelle: it makes perfect sense :) | 09:04 |
| kjelle | so '{}' will be the list that find . -name '*.zip' puts out? | 09:04 |
| maedox | yes | 09:04 |
| nathan312 | icarus-c: what? | 09:04 |
| quiescens | kjelle: basically | 09:05 |
| kjelle | could i do then, like: find /etc/init.d/ -name 'courier-*' -exec '{}' stop \; ? | 09:05 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, hold on | 09:05 |
| slavik1 | kjelle: think of '{}' as the variable name of whatever the input is | 09:05 |
| maedox | do this to see it in action: find . -exec ls {} \; | 09:05 |
| kjelle | to stop all my 5 courier inits | 09:05 |
| Xae | icarus-c, Intel Corporation 82852/855GM | 09:05 |
| slavik1 | no single quotes | 09:05 |
| slavik1 | but yes | 09:05 |
| kjelle | okey | 09:05 |
| nathan312 | icarus: ok | 09:05 |
| kjelle | as my ls /etc/init.d/ | awk { .. } | xargs sudo sh -c '$0 stop' is a bit too noobish :) im looking for ways to do it quicker, more smooth. | 09:06 |
| jitenderdogra | hello. i need help on printer installation in ubuntu. can anybody help me? | 09:06 |
| Aqaz | rxd: I've not used wubi before for installation, so I cannot comment on that. But I guess this may help - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 09:06 |
| slavik1 | kjelle: that is horrible :P | 09:06 |
| kjelle | slavik1: yes. piping stuff. sudo find /etc/init.d/ -name "courier-*" -exec '{}' stop \; worked nice :) | 09:07 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu "Super_L" | 09:07 |
| Linuxsapien | where can I get help on using a kernel for my dual core 64bit AMD please? | 09:07 |
| Esat | how can i change installed software's language? | 09:07 |
| slavik1 | kjelle: there is no pipe there :P | 09:07 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, and you confirm you are using metacity? not compiz or whatever? | 09:07 |
| kjelle | slavik1: so true, my former command contained pipes (ls .. | awk | xargs) | 09:07 |
| slavik1 | Esat: change the gnome session language :) | 09:07 |
| DARUDE | blue1 you still here? | 09:07 |
| DARUDE | sweetpi hey | 09:07 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, besides, default use Alt-F1 to open up the menu | 09:07 |
| Xae | icarus-c, something is keeping my cpu @ 99,9% | 09:07 |
| slavik1 | kjelle: there is a cleaner way to pipe that :) | 09:07 |
| jitenderdogra | icarus-c, can you help me with an installation of a network printer in ubuntu 10.04? | 09:08 |
| kjelle | slavik1: yepp | 09:08 |
| DARUDE | can the Northbridge ont he laptop also cause the system to freeze? | 09:08 |
| icarus-c | Xae, run "top" command and see what it is | 09:08 |
| tensorpudding | Xae: try opening top and seeing what it is | 09:08 |
| jitenderdogra | the model is xerox workcenter 5230 | 09:08 |
| nathan312 | icarus: I just did what Blue1 said, rm -r .gconf and I logged out and back into UNBR and it's back to normal! | 09:08 |
| tensorpudding | Xae: or if you can, the gnome system monitor | 09:08 |
| Esat | slacker_nl, : i just want to change a software not all the system | 09:08 |
| slavik1 | ls /etc/init.d | xargs -t -n 1 -i /etc/init.d/{} stop | 09:08 |
| slavik1 | :) | 09:08 |
| nathan312 | icarus: yeah, I learned the hard way to NOT be lazy lol | 09:08 |
| taky | does anyone have world of warcraft running with cedega ? | 09:08 |
| slavik1 | Esat: never seen it done, try google :), unless in the program's settings | 09:08 |
| slavik1 | taky: for cedega support, see #cedega | 09:09 |
| Linuxsapien | where can I get help on using a kernel for my dual core 64bit AMD please? | 09:09 |
| Rickardo1 | when using Live CD to repair ubuntu server filesystem with FSCK, shall I start the desktop or how do I do it? | 09:09 |
| slavik1 | !ask | Linuxsapien | 09:09 |
| ubottu | Linuxsapien: 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. :-) | 09:09 |
| Xae | top says alot, but not 99,9% load.. | 09:09 |
| taky | i don't need support, just wondering if anyone else is running it | 09:09 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: yes if something is overheating it can cause it to freeze. seems odd that bumping it causes it to lock up though | 09:09 |
| taky | thanks though :) | 09:09 |
| Linuxsapien | slavik1 I never asked to ask ffs | 09:09 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: you can use the x86_64 or i686 kernels for it, depending on whether you want a 64-bit operating system | 09:09 |
| slavik1 | taky: wine for the win :D | 09:09 |
| DARUDE | sweetpi, wait, what? | 09:09 |
| taky | slavik1, you just have it running in wine? | 09:09 |
| DARUDE | you think bumping it can cause system instability? | 09:10 |
| nathan312 | Thank you icarus-c and Blue1! night all | 09:10 |
| DARUDE | northbridge | 09:10 |
| slavik1 | Linuxsapien: sorry, the idea was more along the lines of "what exactly are you trying to achieve" | 09:10 |
| slavik1 | taky: since win 9.4x or so | 09:10 |
| Linuxsapien | i wish to move away from the generic | 09:10 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: you said you shook the laptop and it froze, right? | 09:10 |
| slavik1 | since vanilla, through BC | 09:10 |
| slavik1 | to wotlk | 09:10 |
| DARUDE | yeah sometimes | 09:10 |
| DARUDE | but it also freezes | 09:10 |
| DARUDE | at random | 09:10 |
| slavik1 | and cataclysm when that comes out | 09:10 |
| Esat | how can i change installed software's language? | 09:10 |
| DARUDE | without even touching it | 09:10 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: there is nothing wrong with generic? | 09:10 |
| FloodBot1 | DARUDE: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:10 |
| taky | slavik1, impressive, im sure you had to debug the shit out of it | 09:10 |
| slavik1 | taky: what's that? | 09:11 |
| Linuxsapien | tensorpudding am I getting the full potential of the CPU with generic though? | 09:11 |
| slavik1 | taky: worked out of the box, same with SC2 :D | 09:11 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: Ubuntu recommends you use the kernels provided through packages, since it is easier to upgrade that way | 09:11 |
| icarus-c | jitenderdogra, i would try to start with http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+<PRINTER_MODEL> | 09:11 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, wtf... i can't believe he told you to rm -r .gconf... | 09:11 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, that would remove all your preference settings | 09:11 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: yeah, i wasnt saying you bumped the north bridge :p | 09:11 |
| icarus-c | nathan312, it is just as simple as gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu "Super_L" | 09:11 |
| FloodBot1 | icarus-c: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:11 |
| taky | slavik1, wow, to get it to run just in wine without the help of any other software | 09:11 |
| DARUDE | i am at my wits | 09:11 |
| Xae | icarus-c, http://pastebin.com/BLxs5iUe | 09:11 |
| DARUDE | trying to figure out whats causing the system freezes | 09:11 |
| slavik1 | taky: WoW is listed as platinum on appdb for a reason :) | 09:11 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: You might get better performance using a custom kernel, and some people do use them | 09:11 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: check temps and run memtest, maybe run a hdd diagnostic | 09:12 |
| slavik1 | taky: my only problem was compiling 32bit wine on a 64bit system, but I have a script in place for that, now. | 09:12 |
| DARUDE | memtest seems to get very hot | 09:12 |
| Linuxsapien | tensorpudding would I just google for custom kernel information then? | 09:12 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: but that's not the way that is supported | 09:12 |
| DARUDE | im afraid it was easily 100 degrees | 09:12 |
| DARUDE | during that test | 09:12 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: maybe ask in #linux | 09:12 |
| taky | slavik1, updating it with cedega now, haven't played since i got to 2700 and quit for the season | 09:12 |
| slavik1 | taky: never played arenas much | 09:12 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: you could always compile your own kernel from the official sources, and configure it by hand | 09:12 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: 100c? or 100f? | 09:12 |
| DARUDE | northbridge | 09:12 |
| slavik1 | but my rogue does put out 10k-14k dps :D | 09:12 |
| DARUDE | C | 09:12 |
| taky | :D | 09:13 |
| taky | i played lock | 09:13 |
| slavik1 | taky: nice | 09:13 |
| zackk | battlegroup? | 09:13 |
| slavik1 | I hit 14k on saurfang :) | 09:13 |
| icarus-c | Xae, the top seems fine | 09:13 |
| taky | ooo | 09:13 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: the cpu would have shut off at that temp | 09:13 |
| slavik1 | in tier 10 gear | 09:13 |
| crawling | my new rig is hard to over 40c | 09:13 |
| Xae | icarus-c, 80%.. | 09:13 |
| Linuxsapien | tensorpudding are those sources on linux.com or somewhere? | 09:13 |
| slavik1 | never took down the king though :( | 09:13 |
| DARUDE | it does | 09:13 |
| icarus-c | Xae, i suppose it is just Flash or a complex webpage | 09:13 |
| DARUDE | sometimes | 09:13 |
| DARUDE | other times im worried it would explode | 09:13 |
| DARUDE | and kill me | 09:13 |
| taky | zackk, on nightfall | 09:13 |
| Xae | icarus-c, even without flash, ubuntu is slow as hall | 09:13 |
| Xae | hell* | 09:13 |
| icarus-c | Xae, don't forget it is just a Celeron M @1.4Ghz.. | 09:13 |
| crawling | my cpu is a junk, only 3.7ghz | 09:14 |
| DARUDE | Should I try to replace the Thermal Grease for the Northbridge also? | 09:14 |
| slavik1 | taky: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Medivh&cn=Fstab if you care | 09:14 |
| taky | zackk, slavik1 http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kel%27Thuzad&cn=Botnet | 09:14 |
| Xae | icarus-c, my laptop used to run way faster on linux | 09:14 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: kernel.org, i believe | 09:14 |
| taky | slavik1, hahaa | 09:14 |
| Xae | when i had 9.04 it was at least 3x as fast | 09:14 |
| Linuxsapien | thank you for your help tensorpudding | 09:14 |
| icarus-c | Xae, look at the CPU usage. it is 52% chromium, 12% X (graphics) 11% pulseaudio(audio) | 09:14 |
| slavik1 | lol | 09:14 |
| taky | slavik1, i used to play rogue, i swore i wouldn't play a class without stealth again just for the 'cool' factor of people not being able to see you | 09:14 |
| sweetpi | DARUDE: i doubt that would happen.. cpus have sensors that will shut them off at around 75c to prevent damage | 09:14 |
| tensorpudding | Linuxsapien: just be aware that it's not supported by ubuntu's help, and you'll need to acquaint yourself with grub2's way of adding kernels to the boot menu | 09:15 |
| jitenderdogra | need help with printer installation. can somebody help me? | 09:15 |
| icarus-c | Xae, moreover, with Linux even 100% cpu wouldn't feel slow | 09:15 |
| quiescens | I don't think its been 75c for a number of years | 09:15 |
| DARUDE | well this still doesn't change the fact that its overheating | 09:15 |
| Esat | how can i change installed software's language? For example, i want to change openoffice.org software's language | 09:15 |
| Xae | icarus-c, linux is slow as hell :| | 09:15 |
| slavik1 | at some point, you could boil water on a CPU, not so anymore :( | 09:15 |
| DARUDE | I am actually confused if this is actually the Northbridge hsf or the gpu's hsf | 09:15 |
| Xae | i first see a white box, where the app loads | 09:15 |
| slavik1 | Esat: try forums/google | 09:15 |
| Xae | it takes 3-7 seconds for terminal to work | 09:16 |
| slavik1 | Esat: what you are asking for is "unorthodox" ... | 09:16 |
| taky | does anyone know if its possible to create my own linux installation disc, so that all the software on my machine doesn't need to be reinstalled/reconfigured on another machine (ie a laptop) | 09:16 |
| Xae | even longer if i count opening it along with it | 09:16 |
| slavik1 | Esat: although you might have to make a script for it | 09:16 |
| jitenderdogra | need help with printer installation. can somebody help me? | 09:16 |
| slavik1 | taky: dude, google, there are distros specifically for that :) | 09:16 |
| slavik1 | jitenderdogra: is it an HP printer? | 09:16 |
| DARUDE | here's the pic of the inside my laptop | 09:16 |
| DARUDE | http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/9152/snc10152mi1.jpg | 09:16 |
| Esat | slavik1, i want to find its language file on hard disk | 09:16 |
| DARUDE | not my pic but that is what it looks like | 09:17 |
| Esat | but i don t know where it is | 09:17 |
| === crawling is now known as jerkitout | ||
| taky | slavik1, i want to install over leapard on my mbp :) | 09:17 |
| jitenderdogra | slavik1: no. it is a network printer. xerox workcenter 5230 | 09:17 |
| ikar | hi! is it possible to make a shortcut-application to start up java-class-files in ubuntu? | 09:17 |
| slavik1 | jitenderdogra: should work, have you tried to discover it? (find the IP of the printer) | 09:17 |
| slavik1 | ikar: huh? | 09:17 |
| slavik1 | java MyClass.class | 09:17 |
| tensorpudding | taky: OSX Leopard? | 09:18 |
| tensorpudding | taky: that's not a Linux distro... | 09:18 |
| taky | tensorpudding, yeah | 09:18 |
| taky | tensorpudding, i know, i am going to replace it with ubunut | 09:18 |
| taky | tensorpudding, ubuntu* | 09:18 |
| slavik1 | tensorpudding: he wants to build a CD/DVD before installing | 09:18 |
| ikar | slavik1, i meant if i could make a dobbelclick-icon to startup a class-file.. | 09:18 |
| slavik1 | taky: only system I am guessing? | 09:18 |
| tensorpudding | taky: sorry read that as "install leopard" instead of "install over leopard" | 09:18 |
| jerkitout | taky, good luck, if you won't damage your hdds | 09:18 |
| taky | slavik1, what do you mean? | 09:19 |
| taky | tensorpudding, np hehe | 09:19 |
| slavik1 | ikar: right click on the file, go to properties, open with, find java there, or type in the command | 09:19 |
| taky | jerkitout, what do you mean? | 09:19 |
| slavik1 | if you're using gnome, otherwise I have no clue | 09:19 |
| jerkitout | taky, just do it, you will know | 09:19 |
| taky | jerkitout, i would rather you tell me ;) | 09:19 |
| ikar | slavik1, ok, thanks for the info :) | 09:19 |
| DARUDE | sweetpi so is that the block for the GPU? | 09:19 |
| slavik1 | ikar: won't change the icon though, besides, why not run it in a terminal? | 09:19 |
| slavik1 | ikar: as in: java MyClass.class? | 09:20 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: As I said about modprobe, I'm not sure about its operation on ubuntu and it may be termed non-ubuntu approach. So I guess you shall try installing "autofs" from synaptic (which I think is safer than modprobe) and restart system and see if it mounts. You can easily remove autofs from package. | 09:20 |
| MissingPerson | ok Aqaz, I'll give that a shot | 09:20 |
| uLinux | im trying to install gparted but "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." | 09:21 |
| Aqaz | uLinux: Use synpatic to install Gparted | 09:21 |
| ikar | slavik1, i wanted to share a easy way for the ones who don't use terminal | 09:21 |
| ikar | f.eks windows-people | 09:22 |
| uLinux | Aqaz: when using livecd i can installer from soft center | 09:22 |
| uLinux | :p | 09:22 |
| jitenderdogra | slavik1: i know the ip and the general way of installation. however, there is a small problem, it looks for a postscript filter that does not exist | 09:22 |
| Aqaz | uLinux: It would be advisable to use synaptic for gparted. | 09:22 |
| uLinux | Aqaz: it says the software is not authenticated | 09:23 |
| jitenderdogra | slavik1: you still there? there was a message of someone with your ip leaving. | 09:23 |
| Aqaz | uLinux: Synaptic? or Software centre? | 09:23 |
| uLinux | cant be authenticated | 09:23 |
| uLinux | synaptic | 09:23 |
| Aqaz | uLinux: sudo apt-get update and then try | 09:24 |
| maedox | *reload button in synaptic does that. | 09:24 |
| jitenderdogra | can somebody help me with a network printer installation? the postscript filter in the ppd file taken from installation cd does not exist. | 09:24 |

| maedox | jitenderdogra, did you check the manufacturer website for an updated driver? | 09:25 |

| airtonix | MissingPerson, you might like to make your /home on a separate partition this time round so that clean is not so imposing | 09:45 |
| airtonix | clean isntall* | 09:45 |

| maedox | uLinux, try adding the commands to a script, make it executable and run that instead. | 09:45 |
| raddy | Can someone help me recovering a grub boot problem. | 09:45 |
| candyman | MissingPerson: you just have to edit the fstab file | 09:45 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | raddy | 09:45 |
| ubottu | raddy: 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 ..." | 09:45 |

| raddy | When i run ls command in grub2, /boot partition is not showing up. | 09:46 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, i assume you know the easy way to specify that home goes on a separate partition during clean install ? | 09:46 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: As I said very rarely upgrades gives problems, I'm still not able to understans why its not mounting though | 09:46 |
| MissingPerson | candyman: well, i can get lsusb to detect my drive being plugged in, but fdisk -l only shows my interna | 09:46 |
| rwhr | maedox: Places > Computer > Network > and then dragged and dropped the NAS onto the "Places" on the left of the screen (under desktop, file system, network, etc) | 09:46 |
| uLinux | ilovefairuz: ok thanks | 09:46 |
| ilovefairuz | raddy: did you use wubi to install? and what's the output of 'ls' ? | 09:46 |
| uLinux | maedox: the script works | 09:46 |
| maedox | uLinux, nice :) | 09:46 |
| uLinux | maedox: the thing is that i need to click one more time :P to run in terminal | 09:47 |
| Aqaz | airtonix: Is it advisable to use modprobe to allow system to recognize USB HDD? | 09:47 |
| uLinux | because of nautilus settings i guess | 09:47 |
| rwhr | maedox: so now when I open it up, I get "smb://x.x.x.x/" on the location bar. | 09:47 |
| wez^ | can anyone help me? | 09:47 |
| airtonix | Aqaz, i'm not sure why you need to | 09:48 |
| MissingPerson | airtonix: have no clue on how to specify. | 09:48 |
| ikonia | wez^: that's not possible | 09:48 |
| raddy | ilovefairuz : I didn't use wubi, the OS was worked perfectly even after updating it to 10.04 from 8.04x, the list contains all the folders except /boot/ | 09:48 |
| maedox | rwhr, that might not be enough for the backup apps. Nautilus reads smb:// just fine, but those apps probably cant. you need to mound it with cifs. | 09:48 |
| ilovefairuz | Aqaz: modprobe just loads more modules into the kernel | 09:48 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | wez^ | 09:48 |
| ubottu | wez^: 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 ..." | 09:48 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: What? About /home partition? | 09:48 |
| wez^ | how can i set my ubuntu to it's original default settings? | 09:48 |
| pcda-knight | i cant get any hdmi audio on ubuntu 10.4.1 and nvidia ion2 with latest 256.x, anyone know what to do? | 09:49 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, the stage where you choose how the drive will be partitioned, choose advanced and then you create a partition (a large one) and say that this partition will mount at /home... | 09:49 |
| rwhr | maedox: cifs? (noob here) | 09:49 |
| MissingPerson | Aqaz: precisely. I want to make my /home partition as big as possible but worry about running out of space on root so i just leave it as one partition | 09:49 |
| maedox | rwhr, add to /etc/fstab as root: //NAS-IP_or_hostname/mount-pointcifsuid=user,credentials=/home/user/.credentials.cifs 0 0 | 09:49 |
| MissingPerson | airtonix: how big would you suggest to make root? | 09:49 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, then next time you do clean isntall, go the same route partitions > advanced : you should see the existing large partition which you just need to say that it will mount at /home (and not to format it) | 09:49 |
| maedox | add username=user and password=yourpass on two lines to the .credentials.cifs file mentioned. | 09:50 |
| ilovefairuz | raddy: did you have /boot on another partition or is it on root? | 09:50 |
| ikonia | wez^: you can't | 09:50 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, through my five years, i've found that it depends on what you do with your machines, generally i recommend that you put aside 15gb (since there are some sections on the root that get used for some large files if you dont put those directories on their own partition also) | 09:50 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: airtonix will help you on this .. | 09:51 |
| raddy | ilovefairuz : Most probably in another partition. but even then won't ls command reveal it? | 09:51 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, but if you run a dev server (mysql, apache, etc etc) then you will want to think about putting /var on its own partition also (with about 30gb for it ) | 09:51 |
| uLinux | maedox: i can executables and stuff from scripts but cant from shortcuts (one click) because of that child error thing | 09:51 |
| uLinux | run | 09:51 |
| maedox | MissingPerson, Ubuntu uses just a few GB on clean install, so anything from 10-20GB is fine. | 09:51 |
| MissingPerson | airtonix: mainly i use it for desktop work, word processing, graphics, video editing, gaming (wine), and web browsing | 09:51 |
| maedox | uLinux, I see, I'll check if it works for me. | 09:52 |
| volpetto | uffa, me sa che co sto disco da 1 tera mi hanno dato na sola, gia non va | 09:52 |
| volpetto | piu bene | 09:52 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, you should be ok with : swap (2gb) / (15gb) /home (the rest) | 09:52 |
| uLinux | maedox: tks | 09:52 |
| ilovefairuz | raddy: 'ls' out depends on how is it use, it could list partitions or the contents of a specific partition. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command%20Line%20and%20Rescue%20Mode | 09:52 |
| MissingPerson | airtonix: and that would leave enough space for multiple DEs? I switch from Gnome/*box/KDE occasionally? | 09:53 |
| Aqaz | airtonix: Would you mind coming on pm? | 09:53 |
| ilovefairuz | raddy: output ** | 09:53 |
| maedox | uLinux, it seems to work for me. what I did was make a script with #!/bin/bash on top then two lines with one command on each. Make it executable, then add it as the command for a launcher. | 09:54 |
| rwhr | maedox: Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.. | 09:54 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, default gnome only install is happy with 5gb if you know exactly what you need to install. if you want more DE and you think you might start installing just about every thing , then you really want enough space for the entire repo (which is around 20-30gb) | 09:54 |
| MissingPerson | so if i just did 23GB i would be pretty safe? | 09:54 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, reason why i mention 15gb is that over a long period of time, log files, and deb files etc build up | 09:54 |
| airtonix | MissingPerson, 23gb should be good. | 09:55 |
| MissingPerson | awesome, i think you guys saved a lot of headaches | 09:55 |
| uLinux | maedox: i'll try | 09:55 |
| uLinux | maedox: do i need to put .sh extension? | 09:56 |
| maedox | uLinux, you don't have to | 09:56 |
| Aqaz | :) | 09:56 |
| MissingPerson | maedox airtonix Aqaz: thanks for all the help tonight | 09:56 |
| bobstro | MissingPerson: the only caution is that /tmp can fill up if you're doing things like copying dvds. | 09:57 |
| airtonix | ^ | 09:57 |
| bobstro | airtonix: do you give /tmp its own partition as well? | 09:57 |
| airtonix | bobstro, no i just wipe it evert so often | 09:57 |
| airtonix | every* | 09:57 |
| Aqaz | airtonix: Its not required though for desktop | 09:57 |
| MissingPerson | airtonix: command to do that? | 09:58 |
| bobstro | airtonix: i just got bit once with a smaller (20 G or so) / when /tmp filled up. | 09:58 |

| tiger_rawrr | any way to fix that | 10:05 |
| Aqaz | MissingPerson: If it's a dual boot system, I put /boot on sda2 and windows on sda1. The partitions that I have left empty are usually small about 256MB, just in case I ever needed to make another /boot for a second linux. Again, this is just my choice, you can have pretty much any partitioning layout you like. If there are no constraints, you can just allow ubuntu installer to automatically partition your system | 10:06 |

| === z is now known as Guest97904 | ||
| maedox | uLinux, I'd say /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. nautilus-scripts will show up in the context menu under 'Scripts'. If you put symlinks (ln -s /path/to/script.sh /usr/bin/script) in /usr/bin you can execute them without full path. I usually put everythin in ~/scripts and then add that to my path. That way I don't have to worry about losing them if I have to reinstall. (I always save my home folder.) | 10:17 |

| thune3 | ping__luce: disabling compiz Pref->appearence->effects on server sometimes fixes this issue | 10:22 |
| maedox | uLinux, yes. | 10:22 |
| rwhr | maedox: I've found th file and have copied it to my desktop so that I could edit it, but how do I put it back into the /etc as the file there is read only. | 10:22 |
| pentarex | airtonix: yeah thats nice but i am with older ubuntu | 10:22 |
| pentarex | deena: sorry dont know | 10:22 |
| airtonix | pentarex, then it's init.d | 10:23 |
| maedox | rwhr, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 10:23 |
| uLinux | maedox: btw im gonna reinstall (just finnishing the backups) when partitioning manually you first do the swap, then / then /home? | 10:23 |
| maedox | rwhr, that will edit it in place as root, so be careful not to mess with the other lines. ;) | 10:23 |

| Aqaz | deena: What are you exactly trying to do? | 10:23 |
| uLinux | im gonna make logical partitions on sda1 dunno if it's good | 10:24 |
| airtonix | pentarex, basically : sysv-rc-conf | 10:24 |
| maedox | uLinux, yes, that should work. | 10:24 |
| Aqaz | pentarex: Would you elaborate on that? | 10:24 |

| uLinux | maedox: check this installation test of 8gb http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/5917/lucidrunningvirtualboxo.png is it suppose to look like that? | 10:24 |

| ping__luce | thune3: I'm in compizconfig. but I don't find pref->appearance | 10:25 |
| rwhr | maedox: so should this take effect immediately, if so, I have done something wrong.. | 10:25 |
| maedox | uLinux, that's a very tight fit with only 8 GB, but the setup looks fine. | 10:25 |
| thune3 | ping__luce: i meant the System->Preferences-Appearence Effects tab, from the desktop | 10:25 |
| uLinux | maedox: i used virtualbox :p | 10:25 |
| delarue | pentarex; I didn't understand what is wrong; your script should be executable; if you did the cron job right that should be fine... | 10:25 |
| Spyzer | hi all | 10:26 |
| tarma_12 | can i use the second disk as resume of the first one (on ext4) ? (i have to enlarge the virtualbox s disk space but it can not :( so i add the second virtual disk additional, but now i can not use it ) | 10:26 |
| uLinux | maedox: i dont get those unallocated spaces of 1mb | 10:26 |
| uLinux | is it normal | 10:26 |
| rwhr | maedox: do I just add it at the bottom of the file? | 10:26 |
| pentarex | delarue: nope it wont move the files in the other folders at all | 10:26 |
| maedox | rwhr, when you're done you do a sudo mount -a in a terminal. Let me know if you get any errors. | 10:26 |
| maedox | rwhr, yes. | 10:26 |
| Spyzer | i have too many kernel entries in my grab, apt-get doesn't remove the older ones for me. So now how do i remove them?? | 10:26 |
| Spyzer | *grab grub | 10:26 |
| Spyzer | oops | 10:26 |
| ping__luce | thune3: great! thanks! | 10:26 |
| maedox | uLinux, doesn't matter, they are not needed. | 10:26 |
| delarue | pentarex; make sure that your script is starting in the directory that you think it's starting in or make sure that you use the full filenames | 10:26 |
| delarue | there should be some error log output. | 10:27 |
| Aqaz | deena: Are you trying to play mpeg-4 ? | 10:27 |
| thune3 | ping__luce: please let me know if it makes a difference | 10:27 |
| Peax | pentarex: Are you using environment variables in your move-script? | 10:27 |
| delarue | as you've done it; cron will probably send that by mail. | 10:27 |
| deena | yes | 10:27 |
| ping__luce | thune3: yes, it worked | 10:27 |
| Spyzer | ?? | 10:27 |
| Peax | pentarex: From what I can recall cron does not read your .bashrc for example | 10:27 |
| delarue | pentarex: normally better to capture the output from a cron job explicitly where you can see what goes wrong. | 10:27 |
| uLinux | maedox: 2 unused MB :( | 10:27 |
| pentarex | Peax: my script locatation is in /home/pentarex/logscript.sh | 10:27 |
| pentarex | but when i type echo $PATH | 10:28 |
| Aqaz | deena: That you can play using softwares like MEncoder, Transcode and Avidemux | 10:28 |
| pentarex | /home is not in this section | 10:28 |
| Aqaz | deena: And vlc | 10:28 |

| user | I am installing alternate, how long does the wipe process at the end of the installation take for 320GB full disk space with only ubuntu on it (questionmark) | 10:28 |
| Aqaz | deena: Its a video codec for mozilla. One of the plugins usually takes care of this | 10:29 |
| maedox | uLinux, you mean you get 2 MB instead of 1 unallocated in between the partitions? Don't worry about it. It won't matter. | 10:29 |
| Aqaz | deena: What does the webpage say? | 10:30 |
| tarma_12 | can i use the second disk as resume of the first one (on ext4) ? (i have to enlarge the virtualbox s disk space but it can not :( so i add the second virtual disk additional, but now i can not use it ) | 10:30 |

| deena | http://watch-movies.net.in/watch-hd.php?name=the-karate-kid-2010 | 10:30 |
| Aqaz | deena: I mean what does mozilla say when you open the webpage? | 10:30 |
| deena | xvid needs to install | 10:30 |
| pentarex | delarue: No entry for crontab in section 5 of the manual | 10:30 |
| uLinux | The Karate Kid (2010) | 10:30 |
| uLinux | "Install the XviD video codec to watch MPEG-4 encoded movies." | 10:30 |
| duffydack | sounds like a scam to me | 10:31 |
| duffydack | gives a link to an exe | 10:31 |
| uLinux | btw the movie is copyrighted lol | 10:31 |
| rwhr | maedox: No errors, but also no apparent results :( | 10:31 |
| Spyzer | no one is even gonna reply to me?? | 10:31 |
| maedox | rwhr, anything shown is the output of mount? (without the -a) | 10:31 |
| maedox | rwhr, is = in* | 10:32 |
| duffydack | Spyzer, sudo apt-get autoremove --purge | 10:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | Spyzer: tried removing them in synaptic? | 10:32 |
| ping__luce | thune3: I have two monitors (displays: 0 and 1) and unfortunately your solution works only on display 0. On display I have the same problem | 10:32 |
| deena | aqaz-- did you try that link? | 10:32 |
| delarue | petarex; something wrong there; on my 10.04 "dpkg --listfiles cron | grep man5/" gives "/usr/share/man/man5/crontab.5.gz" | 10:32 |
| Spyzer | humm i did try autoremove but not with the --purge | 10:32 |
| uLinux | Spyzer: i use Ubuntu Tweak to remove old kernels | 10:32 |
| uLinux | it works fien | 10:32 |
| Spyzer | maybe it will work this time | 10:32 |
| Aqaz | deena: Hold on please.. got your problem | 10:32 |
| Peax | pentarex: is logscript.sh trying to run something in your /home/$USER/bin directory? | 10:32 |
| deena | ok | 10:32 |
| Spyzer | okay three solns. now thanks a lot guys | 10:32 |
| Spyzer | :) | 10:32 |
| uLinux | Spyzer: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 10:33 |
| duffydack | Spyzer, if that does work, as well_laid_lawn said, run synaptic and search for 2.6.32 and select the older versions and remove. | 10:33 |
| Peax | pentarex: Because I think by default cron jobs run with just /bin:/usr/bin in their $PATH | 10:33 |
| rwhr | maedox: 15 lines worth without the "-a" | 10:33 |
| duffydack | sorry , meant if that DOESNT work. | 10:33 |
| thune3 | ping__luce: i don't have any ideas for that one | 10:34 |
| maedox | Peax, pentarex, you can see the PATH at the top of /etc/crontab. | 10:34 |
| Aqaz | deena: The file format of the video is flv but the webpage doesn't allow it to open other than xvid/grabiod which are for windows | 10:34 |

| airtonix | imoan, i would start with the obvious : man movabletype, then i would try the /usr/share/docs folder | 10:40 |
| airtonix | imoan, then i would move onto google, and find the authors website | 10:41 |
| userHome | anyone knows about the ubuntu alternate installation process guys please | 10:41 |
| X_ | userHome, yah? | 10:41 |
| airtonix | imoan, yuo might also like to check apt-cache search movable | grep type | grep doc | 10:41 |
| imoan | airtonix: I have done all of the above thanks. | 10:41 |
| deena | ok thanks for your help aqaz | 10:41 |
| airtonix | imoan, also, it's just a php application served through apache yes ? | 10:42 |
| imoan | airtonix: I can see the setup and know the files installed ( dpkg -L ) but simply do not know how the thing starts up or a install script for localised site settings | 10:42 |
| userHome | X_: I am almost finished installing it, now i am at ''wipe swap partition 23 percent ready of installation'', but it takes forever and i think it might hang | 10:42 |
| lubuntu_userrrr | Hi. Why is ubuntu_one dependant on erlang rather than developed without this dependance? | 10:42 |

| lubuntu_userrrr | jrib: I just wondered why the developers made such an architectural decission? | 10:44 |

| userHome | X_: How long does that usually take for 320GB, as I am waiting since many hours, 4 hours maybe. Yes all encrytion lvm install guided | 10:44 |

| userHome | X_: yes i chose it | 10:44 |
| X_ | userHome, i dislike the encrypt function, because it a) takes a HUGE amount of time b) fails mounting my encryted swap @ boot.. | 10:45 |

| userHome | X_: Could I just stop the installation by turning off the pc maybe | 10:47 |
| X_ | userHome, i suggest using TrueCrypt drive encryption.. | 10:47 |
| X_ | userHome, you could re-run the install. | 10:47 |
| jrib | lubuntu_userrrr: I guess you want https://one.ubuntu.com/support/ | 10:47 |
| X_ | maybe it even boots without having to re-install. | 10:47 |
| jrib | lubuntu_userrrr: #ubuntuone apparently exists | 10:48 |
| lubuntu_userrrr | jrib: 10x, i'll try #ubuntuone | 10:48 |

| tarma_12 | can i copy all files to another hdd and boot Ubuntu from the other hdd ? | 10:48 |
| Kaco | tarma_12: yes you can, but you need to install bootloader on that disk | 10:49 |
| jrib | randy2009: try « ssh localhost » on the server; try with a fresh new user; check sshd log | 10:49 |
| Kaco | tarma_12: grub for example, and configure it to find the kernel, etc. | 10:49 |
| X_ | userHome, i honestly don't know.. | 10:49 |
| tarma_12 | Kaco: how to install ? | 10:50 |

| duffydack | tarma_12, ah remastersys, thats ok then. | 10:52 |
| tarma_12 | duffydack: i have no free space to create the iso file (rematersys s file). thats why i make a bigger disk new. and i will copy the files there. after that i will use remastersys. | 10:54 |
| duffydack | tarma_12, use the other disk to put the iso on? | 10:55 |
| tarma_12 | duffydack: rematsreyss can do that ? | 10:56 |
| tarma_12 | duffydack: i mean it has a default directory .. :( | 10:56 |
| duffydack | ah yes, it uses home doesnt it.. | 10:57 |
| duffydack | well, if you copy files, use cp -av and install grub to it, update-grub and fix fstab | 10:57 |

| tarma_12 | duffydack: i see that i can not copy the files even i am root.. some files gives error. | 10:58 |

| YankDownUnder | meeeeeeeee, Check the power-saver settings for the display. | 11:57 |
| maedox | tevoda, because you have several config files with <VirtualHost *:80> you have to add ServerName to them with different hostnames. I would recommend you read up on Apache guides. There's too much for me to explain here. | 11:57 |
| rafaek | maedox: have any method to detected if is a hardware issue? | 11:57 |

| maedox | neekers, yes, that would have been in the log file. | 12:18 |
| rafaek | maedox: is better i do that in physical pc? | 12:18 |
| maedox | rafaek, it might be, because VNC will setup X in a different way and it might confuse the hardware drivers thingy. Not sure though. | 12:19 |
| neekers | maedox: my problem is that i'm trying to run that script as user nick | 12:19 |
| maedox | neekers, I know, I'm just adding to the confusion. :P | 12:20 |

| Ubuwhat | how do i make my scanner to work? | 12:21 |
| maedox | neekers, feel free to explain what the script does, and we might be able to remedy it. permission denied is usually easy to fix. If you add echo "some explanation" to the script you can see what fails. | 12:21 |
| maedox | neekers, what I mean by echo, is add it before commands, so that you know which one fails. | 12:22 |

| maedox | neekers, you probably won't be allowed to connect to mysql as root when logged in as user nick. | 12:24 |
| maedox | neekers, if that's not the problem then you are not allowed to delete the sql file on the last line. | 12:24 |
| neekers | ./backup_db.sh: line 3: wordpress-09-20-10.sql: Permission denied | 12:25 |

| neekers | and this is in my home directory | 12:32 |
| tevoda | cause when I sudo everything is written under my user | 12:32 |
| m00t | neekers: check the permissions on the folder | 12:32 |

| tevoda | apache error and access | 12:33 |
| Anomie2 | whats the command to search within files in ubuntu again? | 12:33 |
| maedox | neekers, it might be because dirs higher up are not readable or traversablel (x) by nick. | 12:33 |
| leyus | why is ubuntu crashed and what is GNU GRUB and how can I fix it? | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Anomie2: 'grep' for text files | 12:33 |
| airtonix | neekers, one thing. the username might show it as yours but thats just 'dumbly' soruced from the UID, so if this file (or partition) was from a previous or other liux OS then the UID might be referring to another user | 12:33 |
| neekers | m00t: thank you, i think you just got it, that dir has root as the owner... | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub | leyus | 12:33 |
| ubottu | leyus: 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. | 12:33 |

| kurumin | not not | 12:35 |
| maedox | neekers, on a side note, I would keep the older backups for a while just in case and not delete the old ones every day. Use gzip to compress them or consider adding an entry under /etc/logrotate.d/. Also find . -mtime 1 is yesterday. | 12:35 |

| Dr_Willis | AbhiJit: but the users may get teh same 'uid/gid' if you are not carefull. so that can be an issue. | 12:36 |
| neekers | maedox: maybe i'll keep 2 days worth, I am ftp-ing the backups to a remote machine and i also have daily and weekly backups on the server | 12:36 |

| Lantizia | Anyone know a media player that'll integrate with a gnome or kde panel? (and not just a single icon - I mean play/pause/stop/etc) | 12:36 |
| AbhiJit | Dr_Willis, ok | 12:37 |
| maedox | neekers, alright. good :) | 12:37 |
| AbhiJit | Lantizia, rythmbox? | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | AbhiJit: i would add teh same users (2 for example) in the same order to both os's and rember to not login as user 1 on os2, and so forth | 12:37 |
| AbhiJit | Dr_Willis, i see yah will remember that | 12:38 |
| cjjnjust | Lantizia, audacious | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Lantizia: i was looking for some panel cntrolls the other day.. i though i had some ages ago.. but cant seem to find what had them. perhaps teh gnome-look page may have some media controll panel applets | 12:38 |
| Lantizia | cjjnjust, I just downloaded 2.4 of that - can't see where you enable it though :S | 12:38 |

| fruitwerks | hey all, I have a few questions - first off I am used to Gentoo and switching VT's. I notice when i do this in Ubuntu, I loose my gui - well it logs me out, is there any way I can disable the default ubuntu loading screen and the login gui? I would rather start with a console and login to startx | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: You shoudl be able to get to the consoles.. whats your video card? | 12:39 |
| cjjnjust | Lantizia, i use 2.3, and it works fine | 12:39 |
| fruitwerks | Dr_Willis it's a i915 | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: you can use the 'text' option in /etc/default/grub to make GDM not start , disable plymouth, and go straight to a console. | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: could vbe some odd driver issue with the consoles/framebuffer consoles. that text option 'might' fix it. | 12:40 |
| juk | fruitwerks:go system>admining>login screen | 12:40 |
| fruitwerks | - I can get to the consoles, but I can't ever get back to my gui session, I can only ever find the (gui) login | 12:40 |

| aruljohn | how to run keylogger in terminal | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | aruljohn: what keylogger from where? | 12:41 |

| euptc | Is there a way to have 2 Settings for Windows Placements? 1 for your Regular screen and another for your Large screen??? | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | euptc: like a set of saved 'profiles' for compiz settings? Not seen any such thing. | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | euptc: theres proberly a way to do it by setting the settings, backing up the config files, and copy/restore them with a script. but that may get ugly | 12:45 |
| fruitwerks | hmm so plymouth is the login manager? | 12:45 |
| euptc | though compiz saves windows placements? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: GDM is the Login manager. | 12:46 |
| wez^ | i need a proxy for my lucid...i'm in arab country....all ISP's here are blocking most sites | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: Plymouth gives the fancy eye candy befor the login. | 12:46 |
| fruitwerks | thought so, what is plymouth? | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | that you see for just a few seconds.. and causes so much issues to so many people.. :) | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | and on logout. you see the little dots animation | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | or was that just on shutdown. | 12:46 |
| fruitwerks | oh, that works fine, but leads to my opther question - I like to see what is going on, all the init stuff - I really miss that | 12:47 |
| Parsec300 | Hi people, I'm having trouble keeping virtual users login working on PureFTPd on a 10.04 server (terminal only) install. Does anybody here know how to troubleshoot this? I've been working through several tutorials, but it didn't work....wel, it worked once. After that I keep getting authentication errors | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: try that 'text' option i mentioned earlier. | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | fruitwerks: it aparently has been decided that 'good looks' is more impornatnat then being informed. :) | 12:47 |
| abhinav_singh | i am having a php script ...i am having some php scripts as cron scripts and i know how to run them....i run those scripts at evry 4 hours......but now i am having a new type of script...and i want to run it as cron script and it should start at time which is multiple of 15 minutes like 9:00,10:15 .... and after starting it should run at every 15 minutes...please tell me how to write it in crontab | 12:48 |
| fruitwerks | it's in there, but I won't be rebooting until I do a dist-upgrade or if the power ges out for more than 100 minutes :) | 12:48 |
| miyamoto | i am trying to install ubuntu side by wind windows7 so while am installing side by side option is not there so what sud i do | 12:48 |
| fruitwerks | ok and gdm is not in any runlevels, will the text option fix that too? | 12:49 |
| AbhiJit | miyamoto, try this- first make a free space enough to install ubuntu from windows. then see if ubuntu install option shows install side by side | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | miyamoto: i noticed on my new laptop. windows 7 was allready taking up 4 primary partitions. I had to resize the windows HD from within windows and reorganize some things. :( you may want to pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for the channel to look at. | 12:49 |
| airtonix | ^ | 12:49 |
| maedox | abhinav_singh, do you want it to run every 15 minutes? | 12:49 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, miyamoto, can only have 4 logical partitions on a drive from memory ? | 12:50 |
| nothingspecial | miyamoyo: are you sure it`s not there, it should have 3 options, side by side, whole disk or manual. Which isntll method are you using? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: 4 primary partitions, one of shich can be an extended, that holds logicals (a large # of logicals is allowed) | 12:50 |
| === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening | ||
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, did you have 4 logicals or primary ? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: it had 4 primaries. | 12:51 |
| miyamoto | AbhiJit: where to make space ....is it in c drive | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: luckly that laptop also had space for a 2nd hd. :) so once i moved over a linux HD.. it worked great. | 12:51 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, interesting, does windows 7 do that by default ? or is that only with store bought isntalls ? | 12:51 |
| AbhiJit | miyamoto, from windows just shrik some volume which has extra space. | 12:51 |
| blink | i am using a Nintendo game emulator but the FPS is getting very low! why is that? | 12:51 |
| nothingspecial | miyamoto: whereever there is space. Defrag and backup first | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: win7 has some sort of /boot partition, and its normal install (so thats 2 primary) then there was a System Recovery Partition, and i forget what the 4th was... | 12:52 |

| wez^ | is there any program that bypass the blocked sites? | 12:52 |
| airtonix | wez^, tor ? | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: I think the win7 default is to have at least 2 primaries one for its boot, and one for its main install. | 12:52 |
| fruitwerks | ^^ is correct | 12:53 |
| miyamoto | AbhiJit: will there b any prob if i install by wubi | 12:53 |

| fruitwerks | hmm.. guess I'll reboot.. I'm stuck on a magenta screen on all vt's | 12:54 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, but for machines bought from a store, they will more than likely have 4 primary? (this will trip many new users trying to isntall ubuntu dual boot) | 12:54 |

| Dr_Willis | wez^: you proberly installed some tor 'toggle' addon for firefox. | 12:57 |

| geirha | double2: assuming that command takes two arguments, first being source file, second being destination file | 13:00 |
| maedox | double2, find . -type f -exec command {} \; will take all files and don't care about extension, geirha's might be better depending on the ppm2jpg behaviour. | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | and hope theres no spaces in the file names. :) that always causes issues for me. | 13:01 |

I find a tip on how to insall it trough command line, worked just fine. My question is (has a linux newbie), what type of files are compatible with ubuntu ? Thanks | 13:35 |
| fruitwerks | yeah, you know, mount host:/dir X: | 13:35 |
| fruitwerks | Shwaiil - stick with .deb | 13:35 |
| sipior | fruitwerks: i'm asking about the NFS options used. specifically, hard or soft mounts? | 13:35 |
| pozic | How can I say that on a certain folder I don't want to be notified of new messages in Thunderbird? | 13:36 |

| Shwaiil | fruitwerks, thanks for the .deb tip. so, .deb is a executable ? I'm seeing that is easier to do stuff trough the terminal :X | 13:40 |
| sipior | fruitwerks: you might consider adding "soft" to the mount options, maybe specifying a larger value for "retrans" (five or so should be good) | 13:40 |
| Shwaiil | Q: Whats the best alternative to mIrc or hydraIrc for linux ubuntu ? xchat...kind a sucks | 13:42 |
| neil_d | hi I am having trouble with nfs.. I have set the server to share two partitions in the /etc/exports file (/media/backup,/media/movies) in that order.. On the client I can mount the /media/backup export fine... but when I go to mount the /media/movies export. I get the /media/backup directory instead :( any ideas on why? | 13:42 |
| maedox | Shwaiil, .deb is an installable package. | 13:42 |
| fruitwerks | there is BitchX GTK | 13:42 |
| coz_ | Shwaiil, look here http://www.linuxalt.com/ | 13:43 |
| coz_ | Shwaiil, I am not sure how updated that is however | 13:43 |
| fruitwerks | or just run mirc under wine :) | 13:43 |
| cuange | 这所那里阿 | 13:43 |
| neekers | cool | 13:43 |

| === DoubleString is now known as ZNC_DoubleString | ||
| Shwaiil | coz_ yeah, for now I'm sticking with xchat, but mirc and hydrairc are better | 13:47 |
| Pici | fruitwerks: use -r, since somedir is a directory, not a single file and you may need to drop the . at the end too. | 13:47 |
| bviktor_ | Shwaiil, whats your problem with xchat? | 13:48 |
| fruitwerks | -r.. hmm ok, I tried -R :) | 13:48 |
| coz_ | Shwaiil, well you might be able to run either or both of those through wine as mentioned | 13:48 |
| fruitwerks | thanks Pici :D | 13:48 |
| maedox | neil_d, do you mount it manually or you have entries in fstab? | 13:49 |

| bviktor | aha | 13:50 |
| neil_d | maedox: I am mounting /media/movies manually atm, because I do that to test before putting it in the /etc/fstab file... the command I am using is "mount -t nfs bigone.lan:/media/movies/ /media/movies/" | 13:51 |

| adminewb | recent updates to ubuntu 32 bit x86 would appear to be much less responsive: there are now frequent spells of several seconds of keybd / mouse loss of events (can't determine that anything about user load on system is a factor); someone familiar with similar reports in a time frame of the last couple months? | 14:31 |
| michaeldanko | finance | 14:31 |
| michaeldanko | hello all | 14:31 |
| sipior | kad__: "sudo usermod -L --expiredate 1 <username>" should do it. | 14:31 |
| solenzo | BluesKaj: nothing like the disk was never plugged | 14:31 |
| neil_d | kad__: do you want to stop all login or just gnome> | 14:31 |
| kad__ | neil_d, no just gnone | 14:31 |
| airtonix | kad__, isn't there an option for this in the user and groups application ? | 14:32 |

| xbonesx | sipior: talking about that guy... | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | sipior, frustration sometimes makes ppl say nasty stuff | 14:34 |
| sipior | BluesKaj: that doesn't make him any less of a twit. | 14:34 |

| sipior | xbonesx: i'm not very interested in your opinion. | 14:34 |

| airtonix | kad__, i believe it's labeled : "remvoe X login" | 14:35 |
| airtonix | kad__, "X" as in the "X11 server" | 14:35 |
| letas | hey somehow my server permissions got screwed up and all the files were changed to my username? Anyway to fix this - I tried recovering with root and it just tells me that file is read only and I can't sudo :S | 14:36 |
| airtonix | kad__, nvm i am thinking of xdmcp | 14:39 |
| kad__ | airtonix, no there's no "X Login" i check it now | 14:39 |
| xbonesx | sipior: you said "what a lovely person" I was agreeing by saying that it was completely uncalled for. ???? | 14:39 |
| xbonesx | sipior: w/e tho | 14:40 |
| kad__ | airtonix, do u think good way to : chmod o-rx /etc/gdm !! | 14:40 |
| airtonix | kad__, login as that user and then run : gksudo gdmsetup | 14:40 |
| kad__ | ok | 14:41 |
| sipior | xbonesx: fair enough. you might try using complete sentences, which have the salutary effect of reducing the likelihood of such misunderstandings :-) | 14:41 |
| airtonix | kad__, gah thats been reduced in lucid | 14:41 |
| kad__ | airtonix, done | 14:41 |
| Tweaky | hi. having problem with update manager. here is the error if anyone could help http://paste.ubuntu.com/497009/ | 14:41 |
| kad__ | airtonix, there only found login in automatically or show the screen for choosing who will log in | 14:42 |
| xbonesx | sipior: your right, originally what i typed made it appear as tho i was saying that whay you had said was uncalled for... which is not what i was trying to say at all lol | 14:42 |
| xbonesx | what* | 14:42 |
| stygian | how do i disable my touchpad? | 14:42 |

| AbhiJit | stygian, system>preferences>touchpad | 14:43 |
| stygian | no such thing exists | 14:43 |
| xbonesx | same here | 14:43 |
| AbhiJit | stygian, intsall it from software center | 14:43 |
| stygian | install what? | 14:43 |
| airtonix | kad__, it used to have a "users" section to configure for each user. | 14:43 |
| _manuels_ | Hi guys! | 14:44 |
| duffydack | stygian, can also try the gpointing-device-settings package to disable fully. | 14:44 |

| Shwaiil | Q: How does people know the right name to place on terminal command line, when trying to install a given program ? Let's say "sudo apt-get install xchat", how do I know if xchat is correct, or x-chat, or even x_chat ? Is there a repository or something ? Thanks | 14:45 |

| _manuels_ | I have a question about patching a kernel module. I found information that one should use module-assistant, but that one does not list my module (usbhid)? | 14:45 |
| stygian | i gotta install a package to turn an input device off? couldnt I just do it through xorg.conf? | 14:45 |
| AbhiJit | stygian, that i dunno. | 14:45 |
| sipior | Shwaiil: first thing to try is "apt-cache search <string>", which will return a list of packages that you can filter through grep, as necessary. | 14:46 |
| kad__ | airtonix, so it won't work out ? | 14:46 |
| xbonesx | AbhiJit: thank you so much, when i type on the keyboard my palm would touch the pad sending my cursor off from where i was typing screwing me up | 14:46 |
| matteo1990 | Hi, i have installed Ubuntu and i have removed from grub quiet and splash options, i have added nomodeset because i got blanck screen. Now i am stucked here, any tips? http://pastebin.com/CP1eZPjz | 14:46 |
| AbhiJit | xbonesx, i think in that case the button on touchpad is better way to turn it on/off | 14:47 |
| * duffydack sighs | 14:47 | |
| Nevstah | hi guys, not strictly a ubuntu question but i dont know where else to ask.. does anyone know how to set a specific MTU value accross an entire LAN? without chenging it on *every* desktop etc individually? | 14:47 |
| yeqiu | ? | 14:47 |
| sipior | Nevstah: generally SNMP is used for that sort of thing | 14:47 |
| AbhiJit | Nevstah, ##hardware chanenl may help? | 14:47 |
| Nevstah | thanks! :) | 14:48 |
| skumara | when i do sudo apt-get update , i get this error. http://pastebin.com/rPuhWa8F checkout the last 4 lines. what causes this error? | 14:48 |
| airtonix | kad__, im pretty sure it's possible | 14:48 |
| _manuels_ | Anyone knows how to use module-assistant? | 14:49 |
| AbhiJit | stygian, no offence but in that same login why you need to install an os in your computer in order to use computer? again just a comment no offence | 14:49 |
| xbonesx | AbhiJit: i just un-ticked all of the settings in touchpad and rendered it useless | 14:49 |
| kad__ | airtonix, how ? i search alot on google | 14:49 |
| matteo1990 | Hi, i have installed Ubuntu and i have removed from grub quiet and splash options, i have added nomodeset because i got blanck screen. Now i am stucked here, any tips? http://pastebin.com/CP1eZPjz | 14:49 |
| AbhiJit | xbonesx, there is only one setting - disable touchpad that will be enough | 14:49 |
| wez^ | what's the command to uninstall a program thru terminal? | 14:49 |
| AbhiJit | wez^, sudo apt-get remove <package> | 14:49 |
| xbonesx | naw my buttons still worked i belive i check again tho | 14:49 |
| kad__ | airtonix, i found this "sysv-rc-conf" , gonna test it now | 14:50 |
| airtonix | kad__, i think you ought to have a look at a program in the repos that lets you customise the /etc/skel graphically through nested x window | 14:50 |
| AbhiJit | xbonesx, why you are not using the button on touchpad to turn it off? | 14:50 |
| airtonix | kad__, sysv-rc-conf is for configuring the init.d boot scripts. | 14:50 |
| xbonesx | AbhiJit: doesn't have one... | 14:50 |
| AbhiJit | xbonesx, :o :o :o | 14:51 |
| xbonesx | AbhiJit: i have a xps m1530 | 14:51 |
| AbhiJit | xbonesx, hmm | 14:51 |
| kad__ | airtonix, ah ok | 14:51 |

| blackdoggy | can aybody tell me how to get the base system ubuntu back | 14:53 |
| maedox | ei8ht, your config may get confused about the new mac. Do you use a static IP setup? | 14:53 |
| airtonix | kad__, i think the PolicyKit project is supposed to deal with this, i'm not sure. | 14:53 |
| ei8ht | dynamic ip | 14:53 |
| duaneb | I have a *NEW* question: does the server install force you to install all the files included on the cd? | 14:53 |
| ei8ht | dhcp auto | 14:53 |
| duaneb | or does it install the base system and optional packages? | 14:53 |
| etheretic | anyone have a god reason why there is no #ubuntu-network channel? | 14:54 |
| blackdoggy | my system is being so slow and i need to get the base system so that i can keep th etrack of what i have dome | 14:54 |
| etheretic | o | 14:54 |
| BluesKaj | blackdoggy, pls explain what's wrong | 14:54 |
| AbhiJit | etherealite, you can ask your question here | 14:54 |
| tanxiong | 人很多亚 | 14:54 |
| duaneb | Because I currently have a setup where I deboostrap a minimal ubuntu system onto a harddrive | 14:54 |
| duaneb | and finish the installation with a chroot | 14:54 |
| blackdoggy | blueskaj i am having couple of issues... there is 20ish second of delay after log in screen | 14:54 |
| duaneb | which is less than optimal | 14:54 |
| peaces | are there any problems with putting a normal user in the www-data group | 14:55 |
| etheretic | or #ubuntu-wifi for that matter... | 14:55 |

| wez^ | thnx | 14:57 |
| etheretic | sipior: a big % of q's in this 1000-user+ channel are nw related, and drown in the static. nw issues are usually desktop, not server-related. see the logic? | 14:57 |
| factorz | does it need to be saved with a specific encoding, i used utf-8 iirc | 14:57 |
| sipior | etheretic: i do not. i am also not the person to whom you should be lodging complaints. | 14:57 |
| maedox | factorz, you shot it? you can't sudo anymore? :D su and input the root password, or reboot to recovery to fix it. | 14:57 |
| blackdoggy | BluesKaj, i have done lots of installation and unstall process is that a cause? | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | blackdoggy, have tried to look at your processes with system monitor to see waht's hogging your cpu or memory? | 14:58 |

| BluesKaj | blackdoggy, sudo apt-get autoremove , as well | 15:02 |
| AbhiJit | wez^, i already told you. its not a tor. what you installed is just a supplement to tor. you install first the tor | 15:02 |
| wez^ | even the grub the polipo file to change the configuration | 15:02 |

| vesp | hey guys got a quick question | 15:11 |
| blackdoggy | BluesKaj, thanx for ur time... will give that a go. | 15:11 |
| Venkat | What do I do to get this card working on Ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| kad__ | airtonix, sorry last question, do u know where i can allow certain users to access ssh ? | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | rayvtirx, ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 will bring yo to a tty prompt , without X | 15:12 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: Im assuming this is a software support channel ;) so yeah, logically. when I press key x, letter y is sent to the computer | 15:12 |
| airtonix | kad__, same place, read /etc/security/access.conf | 15:12 |
| kad__ | airtonix, ok th | 15:12 |
| cionick | excuse for going to channel ubuntu italy? | 15:12 |
| kad__ | x | 15:12 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, write your own driver!!!! :P | 15:12 |
| vesp | is it possible to uninstall all that crap from the live cd, if so how should i go about doing that? package manager? | 15:12 |

| xbonesx | what the back track chaneel? | 15:13 |
| xbonesx | channel? | 15:13 |
| AbhiJit | dinoh_acharie, dunno then | 15:13 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: how? :O could I just copy the layout I want to modify, and make the changes and install it as a new layout? | 15:13 |
| AbhiJit | !backtrack | xbonesx | 15:13 |
| ubottu | xbonesx: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 15:13 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, you need to have driver programming knowledge for that! | 15:13 |
| dinoh_acharie | guys i need some real help in here | 15:13 |
| matteo1990 | Hi, i have installed Ubuntu and i have removed from grub quiet and splash options, i have added nomodeset because i got blanck screen. Now i am stucked here, any tips? http://pastebin.com/CP1eZPjz | 15:14 |

| Venkat | I have a | 15:14 |

| rayvtirx | ok thanks bueskaj will i be able to stop it running in the firstplace tho? | 15:14 |
| undecim | dinoh_acharie: Can you give us the full text of the error? Or maybe snap a photo of it? | 15:15 |
| Venkat | I have a Radeon HD 4650 AGP card that is not working. Ubuntu does not load. Monitor goes to power save. Have to come to the tty prompt using the rescue mode from g | 15:15 |
| Venkat | rub | 15:15 |
| vesp | @geirha - I just want it sorta like gentoo, migrated over from there i hate how this looks, i dont want to get into the kernal, so should i go in the software package manager and unstill everything ? | 15:15 |
| Venkat | What do I need to do? | 15:15 |
| kad__ | airtonix, thx i read and i add at the : ssd_config: AllowGroups where to define users allow to log in | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | dinoh_acharie, is your computer more than 4yrs old ? | 15:15 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: theres no other way? im using the colemak layout, love it. but I also have to type in swedish quite alot sometimes, åäö is on alt gr + q, w and ;. so I want to remap the local characters a bit (putting them on ";", "[" and "'". and letting those punctuation characters be on alt gr + their original button) | 15:16 |
| dinoh_acharie | well that acutallu happens just during boot or even b4 entering boot so screenshot is immpossible | 15:16 |
| factorz | vesp, i had a similar problem with openSuse | 15:16 |
| julien__ | le channel francais svp ? | 15:16 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, dunno ##hardware people might help | 15:16 |
| Pici | !fr | julien__ | 15:16 |
| ubottu | julien__: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 15:16 |
| geirha | vesp: You don't want X? If so, uninstalling xorg might do what you want. | 15:16 |
| factorz | i installed vesa drivers from command prompt which worked | 15:16 |
| philinux | Venkat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7431520 | 15:17 |
| undecim | dinoh_acharie: I meant a camera photo, like with your phone if you have a camera phone. Full text of the error is good too, though | 15:17 |
| factorz | and then i could install drivers, nvidia tho | 15:17 |
| undecim | vesp: Have you already installed your system, or are you trying to remove from the CD itself? | 15:17 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: I know colemak isnt made for swedish, but it works great, and I write a lot in english too so its a great layout for both languagus, besides the local charactesr. But this is a software question! :) | 15:17 |
| dinoh_acharie | no just one line it says init too long then it freezes | 15:17 |
| geirha | vesp: Mentioning gentoo doesn't really help, because I don't know how your gentoo system was set up and what packages you had installed. | 15:17 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, yah you need to edit the source code of the layout. i dunno any other way i am a not expert! | 15:18 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: its gpl :) | 15:18 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, hmm | 15:18 |
| Venkat | Thanks Philinux. However, I still have to get into Ubuntu to do so! | 15:19 |
| Venkat | Downloaded the ATI, Radeon, Prop ATI drivers. | 15:19 |
| vesp | @undecim i already installed it , i just dont want anything but wireless/term/firefox. thats it because i want to custom my box up a bit | 15:19 |
| Neur0man | I have a question: I am trying Ubuntu live (USB Stick) - but after the boot menu and the Ubuntu logo my monitor suddenly turns black (no signal). I have a Ati Radeon HD 5770 with a Dell TFT Display. Help? | 15:19 |
| philinux | Venkat: maybe easier to use recovery mode from grub. | 15:20 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: actually, its even in the puplic domain I see now | 15:20 |
| Schmorgluck | heya, and gaaah, hearing about ATI drivers makes me depressed again | 15:20 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, ok | 15:20 |
| dinoh_acharie | yes BluesKaj its more than 4 yrs old | 15:20 |
| vesp | @geirha yea i understand what your say, i had everything pretty much paneled, very open and just the basic stuff, aircrack, firefox, termial, c++/perl scripts | 15:21 |

| lgp171188 | I use Firefox and Chrome on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I am unable to view the Hindi text in the browsers? What should I do to be able to view them? I installed the package - 'language-support-hi'. But no progress | 15:22 |
| factorz | btw, i cant use 'su' in ubuntu, right_ | 15:22 |
| factorz | ? | 15:22 |
| undecim | vesp: Well, if you got to a virtual console, you can run "sudo aptitude" and get a curses package management interface. You can select "installed packages". Press underscore (_) to purge them, then select what packages you want to keep by adding them by hovering over them and pressing plus (+). Start with the ubuntu-minimal package, the install wireless-tools, wicd or network-manager, firefox, xorg, etc..., then press g to see a summary of what will b | 15:22 |
| AbhiJit | !su | factorz | 15:22 |
| ubottu | factorz: 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 | 15:22 |

| BluesKaj | dinoh_acharie, I had the same peoblem so I used the alternate installcd from the kubuntu.org download page and it recognized my hardware , but it requires more attention to options and choices on your part during the install, but it worked on my 5 yr old compaq desktop | 15:23 |

| AdvoWork | does ubuntu 10.04 have a default msn type thing? i think I have one running, but cant do anything with it, or see contact list? | 15:24 |
| Neur0man | no one? | 15:24 |
| AbhiJit | Schmorgluck, ##hardware | 15:24 |
| dinoh_acharie | BluesKaj: what was the error u got? | 15:25 |
| Schmorgluck | AbhiJit, thanks, but I meant hardware support under Ubuntu, or GNU/Linux at large | 15:25 |
| AbhiJit | !ask | Schmorgluck | 15:26 |
| ubottu | Schmorgluck: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:26 |
| Schmorgluck | AbhiJit, sorry for the poor form | 15:26 |
| dajhorn | AdvoWork: The default chat application, Empathy, can connect to MSN. | 15:26 |
| Sgeo | Can non-Empathy clients interact with the desktop environment the way Empathy does? | 15:27 |

| Sgeo | Status getting set via the.. thingy, etc? | 15:27 |
| hcook | howdy | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | dinoh_acharie, no error , the lice cd would just hang at the install with the little dots going on and off for ages without any change...it's a hardware recognition problem on older pcs | 15:27 |
| MalMen | nobody use Huawai E618 here ? | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | 'live cd | 15:27 |
| * Sgeo far prefers XChat (and grargh) XChat-GNOME over Empathy for IRC | 15:27 | |
| AbhiJit | c3l, can you please document your this experience in ubuntu forum? so that other like you will get directions in future? | 15:27 |
| Schmorgluck | is there a specific chan about hardware support under GNU/Linux around here? | 15:27 |
| c3l | AbhiJit: sounds like a good idea | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | Schmorgluck, no but you can ask here | 15:28 |
| Venkat | Philinux: I download the driver and install it using the rescue login? | 15:28 |
| AbhiJit | c3l, yah and dnot forget to give me the link i wll download it. be exact and detailed | 15:28 |
| Pici | Schmorgluck: If its Ubuntu you can ask here, otherwise ##linux | 15:28 |
| philinux | Venkat: that should do it | 15:28 |
| dinoh_acharie | BluesKaj: my error is slightly different here i SUCESSFULLY installed the os after reboot just one simple line INIT TOO LONG | 15:29 |
| Venkat | ok. Let me try now. Have to log out. Thanks for the help. | 15:29 |
| philinux | Venkat: choose the option with networking | 15:29 |
| Venkat | Got it. ! | 15:29 |
| Schmorgluck | is there a way to have an ATI Radeon IGP320M graphic chipset to be fully supported under recent versions of Ubuntu? | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | dinoh_acharie, then what's the problem ? | 15:30 |
| Schmorgluck | and if not, should I downgrade to an older version of Ubuntu or just quit for a more customizable distro | 15:30 |
| AbhiJit | !ati | Schmorgluck | 15:31 |
| ubottu | Schmorgluck: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 15:31 |

| Neur0man | I have a question: I am trying Ubuntu live (USB Stick) - but after the boot menu and the Ubuntu logo my monitor suddenly turns black (no signal). I have a Ati Radeon HD 5770 with a Dell TFT Display. Help? | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | dinoh_acharie, then that's not a" successful install " , if it doesn't boot | 15:33 |
| Schmorgluck | What I'm wondering is how I can have my hardware supported as well as it was just a few months ago | 15:34 |
| devkorcvince | is monit preinstalled on ubuntuserver 10.04 | 15:34 |
| limonata | Hello Gnote users! Can you see a linked word underlined & clickable in Gnote? In my experience with Gnote versions 0.6.2 and 0.7.2 linked words appear as ordinary words. It takes away benefits of linking. | 15:35 |
| dinoh_acharie | BluesKaj: well it says so installed sucessfully wid full of energy then after reboot its enthusiasm just goes poof! | 15:35 |
| Schmorgluck | downgrading to an older version of Ubuntu is kinda tedious, so I'd like to be sure it's the best solution for me | 15:36 |
| mustangsal66 | Anyone else get hosed by the new Kernel (10.04)? I reboot the box every Friday... Came in this morning and it asked to update the Kernel... reboot... I see the red Ubuntu logo... then nothing | 15:36 |
| Schmorgluck | mustangsal66, not to sound snotty, but I think you should look up the definition of "kernel" | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | dinoh_acharie, well, it doesn't matter what the error is , you need to install with a cd that works | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | Schmorgluck, I'm not familiar with that ati card , new or old or ? | 15:38 |
| Schmorgluck | BluesKaj, pretty old | 15:39 |
| Verdi1 | hi. I have an old PCI modem. What can I do with it? Can I connect my phone line to it and use my pc as a phone? | 15:39 |
| Verdi1 | Or can I dial up to have internet access? | 15:39 |
| panfist | i was wondering if there was a mechanism in place to use upstream versions of officially supported packages? for example, the default image viewer "eye of gnome" has better support for svg graphics in a new version that i want | 15:39 |
| limonata | Verdi1: Yes, you can do both. | 15:40 |
| Schmorgluck | BluesKaj, but perhaps I'm being too laconic? It's 2002 hardware at the latest. | 15:40 |
| sipior | mustangsal66: what happens if you hit "escape" during boot. what are the last displayed messages before the thing hangs? | 15:41 |
| Verdi1 | limonata: but I don't have any connection / dialup details from my phone provider. | 15:41 |
| mustangsal66 | Schmorgluck: Ok... Let me be more specific... Anyone get hosed after updating the five files (some of which have the word kernel in the name). | 15:42 |
| Schmorgluck | oh, I see what you mean, mustangsal66. Never happened to me though | 15:42 |
| mustangsal66 | sipior: Nothing happens... I get the red Ubuntu splash screen with the square dots... then it goes blank | 15:42 |
| Schmorgluck | have you got Grub? | 15:42 |
| limonata | Verdi1: I think you might not need those details | 15:43 |
| Verdi1 | I have this Vodafone 3G modem with built in software for Win. So far, I wasn't able to use it with Ubuntu 10.04. I choose everything right in Network Connections | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | Schmorgluck, like I advised about another older pc , use the alternate-install cd , it recognizes older HW much better then the livec cd. | 15:43 |
| Schmorgluck | mustangsal66, have you got grub? | 15:44 |
| Schmorgluck | BluesKaj, I'll try to look that way, then | 15:44 |
| mustangsal66 | Schmorgluck yeah... was hoping someone had seen this and knew a quick fix... digging in now... thanks though | 15:44 |
| === spinningcompass_ is now known as spinningcompass | ||
| Schmorgluck | mustangsal66, what I'm saying is not exactly a fix, but if you can boot with an older version of the kernel thank's to grub, that would be a clue towards your actual proble | 15:46 |
| Schmorgluck | *problem | 15:46 |
| AdvoWork | dajhorn, ive got pidgin running and something else :S but ive been told pidgin is depracted | 15:47 |
| Schmorgluck | BluesKaj, what I find especially unnerving is that my gear worked perfectly with older versions of Ubuntu up until Lucid Lynx | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | Schmorgluck, yes I agree , I was disappointed in the lucid live cd assuming nobody would have HW older than 3 yrs | 15:48 |
| mandric | does anyone happen to know if the debian package for supervisor on sid is compatible with ubuntu karmic? | 15:49 |
| panfist | i was wondering if there was a mechanism in place to use upstream versions of officially supported packages? for example, the default image viewer "eye of gnome" has better support for svg graphics in a new version that i want | 15:49 |
| Schmorgluck | BluesKaj, come to think of it, I've had to reinstall from zero because of a display issue, instead of just upgrading from Karmic Koala, which maybe would have spared me such a trouble | 15:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | 10.04 won't boot gives the error init too long ? | 15:49 |
| Jonta | Right, there's pptview for *.ppt-files. Equivalent for *.doc-files? | 15:49 |

| well_laid_lawn | there's abiword-light as well | 15:50 |
| Jonta | Hm, *tries* | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | Schmorgluck, I upgraded from karmic , but had to do the alternate install due to my old ati card drivernot working after a reboot | 15:53 |
| Schmorgluck | BluesKaj, that must be what happened to me: after a reboot, the login display was just a mess of random pixels | 15:55 |
| pcda-knight | how do i create a launcher for an .sh file? | 15:55 |
| KyleHughes | ... Apache and the PHP mod randomly installed themselves? :S | 15:56 |

| sipior | permalac: have you verified that the library libapr-1.so.0 matches the apache binary in word length? | 16:03 |
| Schmorgluck | and you should find an entry to create a launcher | 16:03 |
| mbroeker | permalac, ldconfig searches for all the required libraries in your build path and has found libapr1 in home/proyectos/uima/uimacpp/lib/libapr-1.so.0 | 16:03 |
| sipior | permalac: you haven't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH anywhere, have you? | 16:03 |

| BluesKaj | Schmorgluck, there are no guarantees , but experience with my own 5yr old desktop and other ppl asking for help with their older stuff has helped me form that opinion | 16:04 |
| permalac | it's my coworker, he must set that for some reason and havent reboot until I got in | 16:04 |
| pcda-knight | Schmorgluck: well, it works when i do sh pvz.sh in terminal, but other than that, i dont know | 16:04 |
| mbroeker | permalac, reorder your ldconfig search path OR, what's better, remove /home/... from your ldconfig search path and set this search path for your app only with LD_LIBRARY_PATH | 16:04 |
| permalac | LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set | 16:04 |

| Schmorgluck | pcda-knight, one of the ways to solve your problem is to enter, in your command line interface, "chmod +x <the name of your script>" | 16:06 |
| pcda-knight | okay, that's fine by me Schmorgluck | 16:06 |
| rolandpish | I created a new user but only want him for ssh/ftp etc. How can I disable the graphic environment for this user? | 16:06 |
| Schmorgluck | pcda-knight, for your information, the "chmod" command is for changing the user modes of a file | 16:07 |
| Crankygeek | Mbroeker: Hello | 16:09 |
| Schmorgluck | pcda-knight, actually, look up the "chmod" manpage, and then have a look at the notion of user rights in unix-like systems | 16:09 |
| mbroeker | hey Crankygeek | 16:09 |
| Mocs | Hi... I am having problems with installation of vsftp. I did the apt-get and it WAS working, but on reboot I get "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" | 16:10 |
| mbroeker | as the "admin" of your primary domain, i have to ask why we had a server downtime at weekend :) | 16:10 |
| Mocs | I did a netstat and I don't see it listening... | 16:10 |
| Crankygeek | Mbroeker: what have you been up to? | 16:11 |
| Mocs | ANY help will be mucho appreciated | 16:11 |
| Crankygeek | Mbroeker: open a private chat... | 16:11 |

| Skaag | Hey | 16:14 |
| Skaag | I'm stuck with two packages that won't install due to a conflict with another package | 16:14 |
| Kurlon | Morning all, question RE USN-988-1: It lists updated kernel versions for most releases save for 8.10... anyone know if there will be an updated kernel package for those of us still on 8.10 or should I start working on a custom kernel for in house use now? | 16:14 |
| Skaag | but now I want to remove them and it forces me to apt-get -f install but apt-get -f install fails | 16:14 |
| imanc | why does my wireless keep disconnecting? | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | pp__, better to ask in #ubuntu+1 , it's the maverick chat | 16:15 |
| Schmorgluck | Skaag, apt-get purge, maybe? | 16:15 |
| imanc | has anyone encountered similar issues/ | 16:15 |
| Schmorgluck | Skaag, no, wait, my advice is probably bocus | 16:15 |
| Schmorgluck | *bogus | 16:15 |
| padeBoi | can someone help me to install WMWare? I have issue with running the .bundle file | 16:15 |
| sipior | Kurlon: i think you'll be stuck with custom kernel, as 8.10 is out of support to my knowledge. | 16:15 |
| Acidphase | could be allot of reasons but wireless is known for that , (esp for like irc and stuff) | 16:15 |
| Pici | Kurlon: 8.10 reached end of life on april 30th, it will not get any more updates. | 16:16 |
| IdleOne | Skaag: do sudo dpkg -reconfigure -a | 16:16 |
| pp__ | iceroot , BluesKaj : yeah, thanks | 16:16 |
| Asigottech | padeBoi: whats wMWare ? vartion of VMware ? | 16:16 |
| Kurlon | That's what I figured, but thought I'd ask just to make sure. Thanks for the verification guys! | 16:16 |
| Schmorgluck | Skaag, try apt-get clean | 16:16 |
| imanc | damn | 16:16 |
| padeBoi | Asigottech :VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.i386 | 16:16 |
| brunner | Hi folks. | 16:16 |
| Asigottech | padeBoi: what system do you want to run on it ? | 16:17 |
| Mocs | having an issue with a recent install of vsftpd. On install and config, was able to connect to the machine just fine. On reboot, I get ""No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" I tried a restart, but I don't see it listening on netstat... any ideas? | 16:17 |
| Acidphase | imanc: Depends on your router, NIC, how far you are from the router and bandwidth etc... | 16:17 |
| sipior | Mocs: may simply be that the daemon did not come up at boot. try starting it manually. | 16:17 |
| padeBoi | I have 2.6.31-22-generic | 16:17 |
| Asigottech | padeBoi: should be as simple as sudo ./VMware-Player-3.1.1-282343.i386 but if your running a linux guest on it use virtualbox | 16:18 |
| brunner | I have a thinkpad with a docking station. It works with my external monitor -- I'm using it now. However, my external monitor's resolution is reduced to my laptop's resolution, because the display settings are set to "Mirror". How can I make my external display use its native resolution? | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | sudo dpkg --configure -aSkaag, try, sudo dpkg --clear-avail , if that doesn't work try, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 16:18 |
| Mocs | sipior: I did the "/etc/init.d/vsftpd start" | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 16:18 |
| sipior | Mocs: did it return anything? | 16:18 |
| Asigottech | brunner: prefrences - monitors + do not use mirror | 16:19 |
| sipior | Mocs: also, you started it using sudo, right? | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | Skaag,lemme rephrase that try, sudo dpkg --clear-avail , if that doesn't work try, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 16:19 |
| Skaag | won't dpkg --configure -a ask me a million questions about ALL my installed packages?! | 16:19 |
| tjubaluba | how to get all but the first line from a file? | 16:19 |
| tjubaluba | ...using some nice bash command | 16:19 |
| brunner | Asigottech, when I do that, and disable my thinkpad's internal display, neither displays work. they both go black. | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | Skaag, not unless they're broken | 16:20 |
| SquidNewb | Dear All, I have just installed server 10.04.1 with webmin and squid. I aim to make this a proxy server. It has one nic. How do I indicate the LAN side and ADSL_Modem_Router side? | 16:20 |
| Skaag | I have a conflict between two packages, that both update the same file | 16:20 |
| Skaag | how will that help | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | !webmin | SquidNewb | 16:21 |
| ubottu | SquidNewb: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 16:21 |
| unimatrix9 | would freenas be an good way to backup multi systems on a network? | 16:21 |
| SquidNewb | ubottu: Is it trivial to set the LAN and WAN interfaces? | 16:21 |

| Skaag | BluesKaj: there isn't "my way", i'm asking for help, but the responses I get make no sense, which means probably I did not ask my question correctly | 16:24 |
| Skaag | and nobody understood me ;-) | 16:24 |
| Skaag | I will try to explain better.. I started installing the Percona binaries of MySQL Server, for Ubuntu. But in the middle of installation, a conflict was discovered with mysql-server-core-5.1, since both packages contain some man file. now I can't remove the old one, and can't install the new one. | 16:25 |
| Skaag | I needed to remove mysql-server-core-5.1 prior to installing percona | 16:25 |

| airtonix | logic? on the internet? | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | Skaag, well if the responses make no sense then you obviously think the solution lies elsewhere , but if you're not willing to try suggestions then perhaps you can explain to us why they won't work | 16:26 |
| IdleOne | Skaag: what does apt-get purge mysql-server-core-5.1 give you? | 16:27 |
| Skaag | BluesKaj: this is not a reconfiguration issue.... that's for sure. | 16:27 |
| dajhorn | Skaag: First, try to remove your entire MySQL stack with `apt-get autoremove`, and if that doesn't work, then you'll need to read on how to use `dpkg --force`. | 16:27 |
| Skaag | I need to somehow cancel the pending install | 16:27 |
| adminewb | Acidphase, seems your father had not much occasion to resort to tech manuals | 16:27 |
| brunner | Asigottech, Sorry, I was forced to restart when I tried disabling my laptop's internal display. | 16:28 |

| adminewb | recent updates to ubuntu 32 bit x86 would appear to be much less responsive: there are now frequent spells of several seconds of keybd / mouse loss of events (can't determine that anything about user load on system is a factor); someone familiar with similar reports in a time frame of the last few months? | 16:35 |
| xiaclo | does anyone know how to fix "there was an error creating a child process for this terminal" for gnome-terminal? | 16:35 |

| adminewb | sinman seems as if your device may be new enough that no one's put it on the support page | 16:50 |
| brunner | it says screen not found, or something along those lines | 16:50 |
| cyx | ass | 16:51 |

| ubottu | cyx, please see my private message | 16:53 |

| cyx | OK | 16:53 |
| sinman | adminewb: the thing when i was dual booting ubuntu & ubuntu studio had it working, until I redone my computer and just running ubuntu, this is when I', having troubling with it | 16:54 |

| wez^ | andycc: if u have to choose...between the two...which one will u choose then? | 16:54 |
| Pici | wez^: The Ubuntu version numbers are the Year.Month of their release. As you can see, 10.10 is in the future. | 16:54 |
| andycc | wez^: well, I'm on a production system, so 10.04 as it's stable | 16:54 |
| Dr_Willis | wez^: 10.10 due out in a few weeks.. (24 days?) | 16:55 |
| adminewb | sinman, are you saying when you uninstalled studio ubuntu, the other installation broke? | 16:55 |
| wez^ | i bet 10.04 is better...for it is LTS compared to beta 10.10 | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | wez^: it all depends on your needs. | 16:55 |
| andycc | wez^: lts doesn't really matter if you're a home user | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | wez^: theres newer versions of 'stuff' in 10.10 | 16:55 |
| sinman | adminewb: yes | 16:55 |
| etheretic | 10.10 is the version which is bugless and perfect in every respect. No need for further updates. | 16:55 |

| fred2040_ | AbhiJit, ty I will try | 17:04 |
| sinman | adminewb: it didn't matter how many times i reinstalled both os, those deleted files still kept shoing in the trash can and couldn't be removed, so thats the reason for the slow format | 17:04 |
| ubuntu | actually i can see 4 partition plus one unallocated | 17:04 |
| hurin | jrib: cause i'm coding an application that's working on my computer but that does fail on this prod server | 17:04 |
| adminewb | sinman, so you managed to get through the partitioning of the disk to restore its file systems as they were before reformat? | 17:04 |

| aBaldrich | fred2040_: there's nice info in ubuntuforums, check it out its neatly explained | 17:05 |

| fred2040_ | ok | 17:05 |

| jrib | hurin: ah, well how did you install pdo? I don't see it in the repositories | 17:06 |
| sinman | adminewb: since i done the slow format it took care of the problem, I didn't see those files after the reinstallation | 17:06 |

| area51pilot | why can I connect to a WPA secured network but not a WEP secured network? ongoing issue! | 17:08 |
| sinman | adminewb: thought about doing that, but I decided since it was late like around midnight that night and getting tired, i just do a slow format anf goto bed | 17:08 |
| adminewb | ok | 17:08 |
| hurin | jrib: i install it with this : pecl install pdo_mysql | 17:09 |
| sinman | adminewb: because i figure it would take awhile for a 1TB HDD | 17:09 |
| fred2040_ | why ubuntu is only for nerds? | 17:09 |
| adminewb | sinman makes sense | 17:09 |
| jrib | fred2040_: do you have an ubuntu *support* question? Other questions are offtopic here | 17:09 |
| KyleHughes | Ubuntu isn't only for nerds =] | 17:09 |
| KyleHughes | I know one person who isn't :| | 17:10 |
| jrib | hurin: ah, well I don't know much about pecl. Maybe try ##php? | 17:10 |
| jpMocs | KyleHugnes: yeah, but most nerds are for Ubuntu! :) | 17:10 |
| jpMocs | KyleHughes: myself included | 17:10 |
| KyleHughes | jpMocs: =D Same! | 17:10 |
| sinman | adminewb: well I'll figure this out later, got get going, got ocouple doctor's appointments i need to get ready to go them | 17:10 |
| area51pilot | why can I connect to a WPA secured network but not one that is WEP secured? | 17:11 |
| hurin | ok, will try this way, but i do think that my problem is quite simple to solve in fact, i just wanna reinstall my PDODrivers, keeping the rest of my apache config the same | 17:11 |
| sinman | adminewb: thanxs for the help | 17:11 |
| adminewb | sinman so anyway did you have to redo your same ndiswrapper config on the new formatted installation, same as on old? | 17:11 |
| andycc | area51pilot: I think it's a known problem with some wireless cards | 17:11 |
| adminewb | ok good luck | 17:11 |
| jrib | hurin: it's a pecl usage question isn't it? | 17:11 |
| hurin | not at all, pecl is just the way i install my pdo | 17:11 |
| hurin | but u're maybe right jrib, i'll check it on php | 17:12 |
| area51pilot | andycc: Yeah, I had the same issue in both 10.04 and 10.10 | 17:12 |
| sinman | adminewb: yes, I use the synaptic then went to system> adminstratation> windows wireless drivers to put in the drivers | 17:12 |
| area51pilot | andycc: broadcomm adapter | 17:13 |
| area51pilot | :P | 17:13 |
| area51pilot | ubuntu 10.10 channel? | 17:13 |
| andycc | area51pilot: are you using the adaptor with ndiswrapper or with native drivers? | 17:14 |
| IdleOne | area51pilot: #ubuntu+1 | 17:14 |
| sinman | well gotta run, be back later today to get this wireless issue resolve. Have fun everyone | 17:15 |

| wez^ | hi! i had installed macbuntu theme....and i'm comfy with this one....and i had also installed apps like compiz and cairo dock...but for compiz i bet that's the one i used for the 3D desktop so i have to keep it and for cairo dock im not sure with it...is it ok if i'll remove it? nothing will bother me then after removing? unsure here wew | 17:36 |
| manlymatt83 | andycc: upgrading from 9.04 to 10.04? I wanted to do a clean install. | 17:37 |
| manlymatt83 | I suppose I could try 10.10 beta right? | 17:37 |
| andycc | wez^: just remove cairo dock | 17:37 |
| CymorWork | The favorites get saved in the /home/user/.gconf/apps/netbook-launcher/favorites/ when the user logs in, but creating that file structure in /etc/skel doesn't seem to make a difference | 17:37 |
| manlymatt83 | and just update to 10.10 real once it is released | 17:37 |
| t11m | andycc: that would require taking this live webserver offline and no one is gonna be happy if i do that | 17:37 |
| wez^ | andycc thanx! | 17:37 |
| andycc | manlymatt83: you can do that too... | 17:37 |

| sje46 | andycc: I used su... | 17:53 |
| sje46 | mint ubunt | 17:53 |

| icarus-c | cablop, press "alt-f2" enter "X :1" | 17:58 |
| icarus-c | (the first X session should be :0 | 17:58 |
| cablop | but can i log in it with same user? | 17:58 |
| icarus-c | cablop, you don't need to login | 17:58 |
| cablop | i mean two gui sessions with the same account | 17:58 |
| icarus-c | just switch to that | 17:58 |
| cablop | oh | 17:58 |
| icarus-c | cablop, and you may want to start a Window manager there too | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | running gnome twice as teh same user.. used to cause issues... not sure if its all better these days | 17:59 |
| IdleOne | icarus-c: how do you switch to that second X session? | 17:59 |
| cablop | well, what i want is to have a fully compized session and a light one for video playback | 17:59 |
| icarus-c | cablop, say "env DISPLAY=:1 metacity" | 17:59 |
| cablop | i can have the second session with xfce or kde, not gnome | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: thats a little over the top. :) | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: yes you could use some otehr desktop. | 18:00 |
| icarus-c | IdleOne, ctrl-alt-F7 (,F8,F9...etc) | 18:00 |
| IdleOne | thanks | 18:00 |
| icarus-c | cablop, meh i have never tried to start another Desktop Environment session but | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | I see a Switch From user... thing here.. you could make a user called 'VideoPlayer' that just launches a video player. :) | 18:00 |
| sje46 | IdleOne: if that doesn't work, do "chvt 7" | 18:00 |
| manlymatt83 | philinux: thanks, I will try that | 18:00 |
| icarus-c | cablop, i usually just start a X server and run 3D game there | 18:00 |
| manlymatt83 | andycc: I didn't. But looks like 10.10 beta is working fine for me. Should I run with installing that, or should I use the workaround and put 10.04 on? | 18:01 |
| cablop | dr_willis maybe it'll work | 18:01 |
| manlymatt83 | It's an older laptop (T42).... only 2 GB RAM | 18:01 |
| cablop | the downside... i'll need to give extra permissions to that videoplayer user | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: unless you got a VERY low end system.. i dont see much to gain by all this. | 18:01 |
| aeon-ltd | manlymatt83: only 2gb of ram?!!?!?!??!?! | 18:01 |
| aeon-ltd | manlymatt83: dude 2gb is a lot | 18:02 |
| cablop | well, one is a... somehow old pc... the board was high end... at that time, but that was almost 7 or more years ago XD | 18:02 |
| pksadiq | only 2 GB RAM ?!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 18:02 |
| andycc | manlymatt83: go with 10.10 if you like it and can handle beta-quality software (which is actually stabler than vista) | 18:02 |
| mdg | 2 GB of ram ?!?! | 18:02 |
| aeon-ltd | pksadiq: thanks for the +1 | 18:02 |
| aeon-ltd | mdg: thanks for the +1 | 18:02 |
| pksadiq | I had a 64 MB RAM system with 5GB HDD a few months Back | 18:02 |
| cablop | the other PC is a netbook, and i saw that video playback in a netbook is not that good if you have compiz, but compiz disabled and that's ok | 18:02 |
| Dulak | 10.10 has a lot of updates on the run up to release so be ready for that as well | 18:02 |
| mdg | aeon-ltd: np | 18:02 |

| manlymatt83 | okay | 18:03 |
| icarus-c | DrLuke, compiling as root is a bad idea | 18:04 |
| DrLuke | why | 18:04 |
| linux | Dr_Willis: Error of "Network Management disabled". I am unable to connect to internet.. | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: i found it easier to reencode the video on the main pc.. for my netbook. :) | 18:04 |
| icarus-c | make install without use of package is also a bad idea | 18:04 |
| somutpop | sudo ./UBUNTUCLEANER.SH this code works from termianl. but when i make a launcher by slecting "application terminal" the same code is not working. can someone help me please ? | 18:04 |
| cablop | well... my main pc is the ne with that old technology... | 18:04 |
| icarus-c | DrLuke, apparently the build script or stuff could do malicious stuff other than just compilation : ) | 18:04 |
| aeon-ltd | somutpop: because you can't emulate sudo without a terminal, use gksudo instead | 18:04 |
| cablop | athlon xp 32bits just one core... no hyperthreading even... | 18:04 |
| J_P | How I to do for generate x.org.conf in ubuntu 10.4? | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: make the launcher run somthing like 'gksudo xterm -e /path/to/cleaner.sh' perhaps... | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: unless it has a gui. :) then ya dont need the xterm -e bit,.. but you proberly want the full path | 18:05 |
| icarus-c | J_P, Xorg -configure | 18:05 |
| somutpop | aeon-ltd: i change it with gksudo. now it asks password but is not working. | 18:05 |

| TomassoSK | Haloo I need some info about framebuffer and nvidia in lucid, thx | 18:06 |
| cablop | is there any high high end netbook nowadays? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: try full path to the script.. | 18:06 |
| icarus-c | TomassoSK, what you need to know | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: thats a bit of a contridiction in terms. :) | 18:06 |
| J_P | icarus-c: ok | 18:06 |
| cablop | haha | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: some of the new ones with the ion cpu/chipset i hear are a bit faster then the old atoms | 18:06 |
| Dulak | cablop: that's an oxymoron, a high end netbook wouldn't be a netbook | 18:07 |
| cablop | well, ok, a small pc but with nice hardware | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: they have that.. but then $$$ is the issue | 18:07 |

| icarus-c | DrLuke, anyway, it seems that you are missing some python headers | 18:07 |
| somutpop | Dr_Willis: 'gksudo xterm -e /path/to/cleaner.sh' is not working. the script doen not have any gui. | 18:07 |
| TomassoSK | icarus-c: I have no screen when I am booting llinux kernel in lucid, I have nvidia drivers | 18:08 |
| Dulak | aeon-ltd: not by anyone's terms it would be a notebook, or a laptop, not a netbook. | 18:08 |
| aeon-ltd | somutpop: err, then how do you know its been run? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: theres some option to xterm to make it launch a terminal with a command. it may not be -e | 18:08 |
| DrLuke | I installed python2.6-dev over synaptic | 18:08 |
| sigmonsays | Just wow. dkms sucks. The external tree module builds just fine but dkms still fails. What a pile | 18:08 |
| icarus-c | DrLuke, it is looking for python2.4 :) | 18:08 |
| P_Kable | hi, anyone with raid5 conf here ? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | xterm -e 'vim' | 18:08 |
| icarus-c | DrLuke, "6: conf.h:21:30: error: python2.4/Python.h: No such file or directory" | 18:08 |
| DrLuke | icarus-c , ok, so, I need to install 2.4 then somehow? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: you did uyse the actual path? and the proper name for the script? | 18:08 |
| firewalker22 | ahoy hoy- anybody out there know how to enable Mcrypt? ? ? ? | 18:09 |
| icarus-c | DrLuke, well.. i wouldn't bother with pulling ancient crap to the system. maybe i would try editing the source code to make it work with python 2.6 too | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | this works --> xterm -e 'watch free' | 18:09 |
| DrLuke | icarus-c, I'm sorry, but it's my first day on linux :P | 18:10 |

| icarus-c | DrLuke, Airpwn itself seems to be an ancient software too | 18:10 |
| DrLuke | icarus-c, that's because it hasn't been updates in a year or so | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: you have to quote the command to pass to gksudo.. ie: ----> gksudo 'xterm -e 'watch free'' | 18:10 |

| somutpop | Dr_Willis: you write me something that i can not understand :) | 18:11 |
| DrLuke | ok then I'll use aircrack | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: right click on the desktop, add launcher, and tell it the command to run | 18:11 |
| TomassoSK | icarus-c: I need to know if there is vesafb in kernel as default, or why I have console in high resolution only after inittab starts not at boot. | 18:12 |
| DrLuke | is it a good idea to remove all the packets I had to install for airpwn first? | 18:12 |
| andycc | DrLuke: aircrack-ng* | 18:12 |

| freebsd_fan | what do i do with the .run file? | 18:12 |
| somutpop | Dr_Willis: what is watch free ? | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: so replace 'watch free' what '/path/to/whatever/your/scrptis.sh' | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: an example... | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | somutpop: try it and see.. | 18:13 |
| somutpop | Dr_Willis: gksudo xterm ./UBUNTUCLEANER.SH or gksudo xterm -e ./UBUNTUCLEANER.SH is not working. | 18:13 |

| Dr_Willis | somutpop: you MUST quote the things.. thats the whole trick. | 18:13 |
| TomassoSK | icarus-c: Yes I am using nvidia drivers from nvidia.com version 173.14.27. | 18:13 |

| trism | Shwaiil: I don't see any option to confirm on sending to the trash, but if you enable the delete option in nautilus, it will ask you to confirm, but then it won't send it to the trash, it will really delete it when you say yes (permanently), in which case you can use shift-delete as suggested, and it will ask for confirmation (as long as you also have the confirm-trash option enabled) | 18:52 |

| xzenome | thanks | 19:33 |
| cablop | i want to be able to manage usage and restrictions, somehow like in windows, if a user has access, but it is in a group with a restriction, then the restriction has priority and the user can't access | 19:33 |

| Milosz | hello | 19:35 |
| coafcv | hi. I have a weird problem. Ubuntu detects that I have a printer, asks me if I want to download a proprietary plug-in for this, and although the plug-in installation "fails", the printer still works. however, at every restart Ubuntu tries to reinstall the plug-in, how can I stop that? | 19:35 |
| J_P | are there a option to upgrade via one 10.4 cd? | 19:35 |
| Milosz | how can I enable X remote logins on 10.04? | 19:35 |
| leonardo | use startx | 19:36 |
| Milosz | gdmsetup seems to have been "crippled" (reduced in functionality) since previous releases | 19:36 |
| leonardo | or init 3 and start | 19:36 |
| Milosz | leonardo, startx? | 19:36 |
| root_ | hi | 19:36 |
| Milosz | I want XDMCP login | 19:36 |
| leonardo | Milosz yes startx start the "X" system | 19:36 |
| root_ | How was xp in backtrack 4 | 19:36 |

| koltroll | Hey guys. I'm going to create a little server using VPS.. I can choose OS myself. Should I go for 32bit or 64bit? I'm not sure why I should choose one over another. | 19:36 |
| koltroll | Are there any downpoints going for 64bit ? | 19:37 |
| Milosz | leonardo, I know what startx is, I need XDMCP login from one box to another | 19:37 |
| wez^ | wow | 19:37 |
| wez^ | i got a conky working with no sweat | 19:37 |
| maco | Milosz: i dont think the new version of gdm support xdmcp | 19:37 |
| Milosz | wow great :/ | 19:37 |
| leonardo | Milosz ok sorry i read someone | 19:37 |
| duckx0r | what would cause my gnome settings to not be saved after every log in? I am using kubuntu with ubuntu-desktop installed | 19:37 |
| maco | Milosz: its not just gdmsetup that changed. gdm was rewritten and not all of the old functionality is there | 19:37 |
| wez^ | wait ill share the link bt it only works on ubuntu lucid distro.... | 19:37 |
| Milosz | maco, ok, thanks for the info, but do you know where to look if I still want to enable XDMCP? | 19:38 |
| wez^ | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/conkywizard-gui-to-set-up-conky.html | 19:38 |
| maco | Milosz: kdm may support it | 19:38 |
| Milosz | I don't know *all* that much about X configuration | 19:38 |
| Milosz | ok that's good | 19:38 |
| Roasted_ | is anybody experienced with gadmin samba? It seems when I add a user, nothing happens. Little confused... | 19:38 |
| Milosz | the box is without a monitor at the moment anyway | 19:38 |
| leonardo | conky wizar don´t start in kernel 2.6.31 i have a very problem.. | 19:38 |
| Name141 | erUSUL: I setup the secured folder, however how do I make a user so that I can login to it? | 19:38 |
| Milosz | so it doesn't really matter what login manager I use | 19:38 |
| leonardo | all use 31 ugrade to 32 and this start | 19:38 |
| maco | Milosz: im not sure if theres even an intention of putting it back in gdm. its a security hazard anyway | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | Name141: really dunno; i do not work with samba much | 19:38 |

| ohad | I'm having a bit of a problem. I have an R60 thinkpad and I'm using lucid (10.04), and the machine keeps getting hot, and when I'm watching flash/youtube sometimes in full-screen it can get extremely hot. it never happened under winxp. I couldn't find an answer in any forum. can someone help me or direct me to somewhere I could get help? | 19:42 |
| ohad | I have radeon mobility x1400 | 19:42 |
| Kottizen | ohad: Do you use Compiz? | 19:42 |
| ohad | yes I do | 19:42 |
| aeon-ltd | ohad: disable it before using flash | 19:42 |
| coafcv | hi. I have a weird problem. Ubuntu detects that I have a printer, asks me if I want to download a proprietary plug-in for this, and although the plug-in installation "fails", the printer still works. however, at every restart Ubuntu tries to reinstall the plug-in, how can I stop that? | 19:42 |
| aeon-ltd | ohad: compositing and flash do not mix well for most gpus and cpus | 19:42 |
| ohad | really? compiz is what's doing it? hmmm | 19:43 |
| Kottizen | ohad: Yes, probably. | 19:43 |
| aeon-ltd | ohad: also compiz takes a lot of resources to run so cutting back would probably increase battery life by a few mins | 19:43 |
| Flare183 | ohad: Yup, compiz and flash love to heat up your computer pretty quickly | 19:43 |
| Roasted_ | is anybody experienced with gadmin samba? It seems when I add a user, nothing happens. Little confused... | 19:44 |
| mdsky | Gnome: Is there an easy way (that means i don't want to add them manually) to start all currently running programs on the next startup? (like XChat, Skype, Licq et cetera) | 19:44 |
| aeon-ltd | mdsky: theres a save session somewhere, its one of metacity's features iirc | 19:45 |
| ohad | ok, I disabled compiz and I'm checking again to see what happens | 19:45 |
| xangua | go to the Options tab in Star apps and set it to 'reminder' | 19:46 |
| mdsky | aeon-ltd, yea - I think I've seen this options some days ago, but can't remember where. | 19:46 |
| xangua | start* | 19:46 |
| VirusTB | if i got to computers with the same MAC asddress is thatna issue? | 19:46 |
| Roasted_ | nobody has touched gadmin samba???? | 19:46 |
| Roasted_ | VirusTB, that's impossible. | 19:46 |
| Flare183 | Roasted_: I have, but I don't like it | 19:46 |
| Roasted_ | every MAC address is unique. There are no two alike. | 19:46 |
| erUSUL | VirusTB: thay can not be in the same network | 19:46 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: yes, the router messes up | 19:46 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, may I ask why you didnt like it? | 19:46 |
| Ninjara | I went from fully accessing my ~ to | 19:46 |
| Ninjara | ..sorry. | 19:46 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: my advice, don't spoof mac addresses | 19:46 |
| Flare183 | Roasted_: Because It never applies the changes to the config file | 19:46 |
| VirusTB | Roasted_: well if i spoof an MAC address then it isnt unique now is it :P | 19:46 |
| Roasted_ | VirusTB, spoofing is completely different, now isn't it? | 19:47 |
| Flare183 | Roasted_: Well, that's just my experience. So yeah | 19:47 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: ok how about to spoof the mac address but turn off one of the computers? | 19:47 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, hm, I see. Do you by chance use another gui for samba instead? Looking around to see what's out there. | 19:47 |
| Ninjara | I went from fully accessing my ~ to 'access denied' in the middle of a session. all files and the folder obviously belong to the user, but literally out of thin air the system stopped giving me access to my own files. anyone have a clue what this might be caused by? | 19:47 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, I'm trying to add a user in the gadmin samba setup, and it just doesn't add the user. I hit apply. Nothing happens. Kind of frustrated since such a simple step isn't working. | 19:47 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: you can't, just turn off the other pc | 19:47 |
| Flare183 | Roasted_: I know of something that's not really a GUI Application, its more of a web based interface for Samba | 19:48 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, ahh yeah... boxee or something? | 19:48 |
| Flare183 | !swat | Roasted_ | 19:48 |
| ubottu | Roasted_: 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. | 19:48 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: filesystem errors made the partition remount read only ? | 19:48 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, I thought SWAT died. | 19:48 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: if you have 2 pcs with the same mac addr on the same network, it won't work. one has to be removed or its mac addr needs to change | 19:48 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: well i need to get on my own damn network, but my landlord messed up the thing! only my Macbook wifi MAC address can access the network, my Netbook cant! so he only added ONE computer. roas | 19:48 |
| VirusTB | Roasted_: see above | 19:48 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: nope. if i start a root-shell i can poke around freely, and i've seen no errors in the logs or such. | 19:49 |
| Roasted_ | VirusTB, doesn't sound like it's your network if someone else is administering it :P | 19:49 |
| Ninjara | I even went root and chown'ed and chmod'ed the entire dir for my user recursively just to be sure, but i still get access denied to files that belong to the user... | 19:49 |
| mdsky | Ahhh found it, thanks to all that tried to help! | 19:49 |
| Flare183 | Roasted_: Not that I know of :/ | 19:49 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: just wondering who the hell uses mac address filtering anymore? its pointless and just causes problems, and as said before spoofing is relatively easy to learn | 19:49 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, thanks for your help boss. | 19:50 |
| Ninjara | i did manage to make a backup using the rootshell, but i'd really like to know wth. caused it before i do a re-install. | 19:50 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: well things rarely happen "out of thing air" ... anything unusual on your setup? separate home? which filesystem? | 19:50 |
| seekwill | aeon-ltd: Can you get the MAC address out from the air? | 19:50 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, crap, boxee wasnt what I was thinking of. boxee is the xbmc program. | 19:50 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: well my landlord thinks is usefull, i live in a student house with 12 people, and we got in total like 15 laptops, and 7 desktops :S | 19:50 |
| aeon-ltd | seekwill: heh, not that easy | 19:51 |
| Roasted_ | gahhh I forget the name.. | 19:51 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: ext4, homefolder on the same partition as everything else. i say "out of thin air" because i was in the middle of a kde-session when it just.. stopped giving me access, so it pretty much seemed that way :p | 19:51 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: i alone got 3 laptops, Archos tablet, 2 desktops and a n iphone :P | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: did you launched some graphical program with sudo ? | 19:51 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: ok, but why can;t you just ask your landlord to add more addresses? | 19:51 |
| seekwill | aeon-ltd: Just wondering how easy it is to spoof if you don't know the MAC in the first place. I'm not sure about the tech details about wifi though | 19:51 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: nope, definitely not. was just a plain user session with file manager and a few chats running. | 19:52 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: because the idiot left for vacation, and his wife doenst know a damn thing | 19:52 |
| seekwill | VirusTB: Many wifi AP's can spoof a mac address | 19:52 |
| ironfoot495 | Hello I need some help with www-data not allowing permissions to mysql? | 19:52 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: so what are the permissions owner of your home partition now? | 19:52 |
| ironfoot495 | I could really use some help with this! | 19:53 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: heh, you really should be asking how to brute force attack a router :), but really just find the mac addr of your macbook and spoof that | 19:53 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: they're owned by 'user' and the whole /home/user is 'drw----' | 19:53 |
| Roasted_ | Flare183, for what its worth it was "ebox" - not boxee :P | 19:53 |
| Flare183 | Roasted_: Lol Alright | 19:53 |
| Penguinista | I was wondering, is this some-kind of Gnome drawback or something else, why I cannot install two applications at the same time? | 19:53 |
| VirusTB | seekwill: aeon-ltd haha thats a job for next month, | 19:53 |
| aeon-ltd | Penguinista: you can, sudo apt-get install appno1 appno2 | 19:54 |
| Flare183 | Penguinista: Nope its a apt-get security thing | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: chmod 755 $HOME | 19:54 |
| Name141 | erUSUL: I think I found it. I needed to do ' smbpasswd -a user ' | 19:54 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: well here;s the issue now, does Wifi and LAN mac addresses make a difference?... like can u spoof my macbook MAC address (wifi) on my dekstop (wired) and it would work? | 19:54 |
| wolf | !list | 19:54 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 19:54 |
| Penguinista | aeon-ltd: I am talking mate, I mean in a GUI way! | 19:55 |
| Penguinista | Flare183: apt-get security thing? How? | 19:55 |
| aeon-ltd | Penguinista: yeah, its a db.lck file thing, synaptics is only allowed one per session | 19:55 |
| trism | Penguinista: Synaptic can do that as well...the Software Center could if they added some sort of install queue but they want to keep it simple | 19:55 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: I have to be root even to make the slightest change to $HOME, but it doesn't make a difference either way. | 19:55 |
| Flare183 | Penguinista: Its a fail safe, to where no one can install two conflicting packages at the same time | 19:56 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: yeah it should work, routers don't assaign protocols to addresses i don't think | 19:56 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: "sudo chmod 755 $HOME" then | 19:56 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: I did 'chown user:user /home/user -R; chmod u+rw /home/user -R' earlier too, doesn't change anything. | 19:56 |
| trism | Penguinista: may be a nice feature suggestion for the future though | 19:56 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: chmod does not give any error? | 19:57 |
| VirusTB | aeon-ltd: ok i will give it a shot later on, just need to see how to spoof MAC address on Win 7 now | 19:57 |
| Penguinista | trism, yeah. I guess, It could save some time. | 19:57 |
| aeon-ltd | VirusTB: ok, good luck with that :) | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | VirusTB: in XP you could edit the registry and do it ;) | 19:57 |
| Warlord711 | is there a software cpu fan control supporting DFI boards ? | 19:57 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip: and in Win 7? you cant? | 19:58 |
| janisozaur | how can I get a color of single pixel on screen? | 19:58 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: that's the strange thing - no, it doesn't. i can even successfully 'chmod u+rw /home/user' as 'user' without an error, but still get permission denied.. | 19:58 |
| ovy | trism, and another nice feature for gnome may be for the panels when u set the transparency to actually be transparent, not false transparent as it is now | 19:58 |
| Penguinista | Also, after using Linux for a while, I have face one more critical issue. | 19:58 |
| VirusTB | janisozaur: a pixel? | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | VirusTB: not used it. I'm sure the kids in ##windows will know | 19:58 |
| janisozaur | VirusTB, yes, a pixel | 19:58 |
| VirusTB | janisozaur: what are you tryna do? :S please rephrase | 19:58 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip: :P ok on it right now :P Gracias Senor | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: you can chmod but that does not change the permissions? | 19:59 |
| Penguinista | if a single file is more then 2.4 GB, it never copied/moved. | 19:59 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: correct. | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | janisozaur: you could use imagemagick to capture the pixel (maybe) to an image then ask imagemagick or mogrify to analyse the colour levels | 19:59 |
| Penguinista | Why does linux fails at it? | 19:59 |
| janisozaur | VirusTB, I have a screen, that I see in front of me. there is one very specific (arbitrary) pixel in this screen, that I'd like to know its color value (#RRGGBB). | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Penguinista: copied from what file system to what filesystem? | 19:59 |
| sebuba | does anyone know how to get the line number in the file of duplicates with the following command? cat url | uniq -c | awk '{print $1 }' | 20:00 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: and like i said, the permissions are correct, the owner is correct, everything should work, and it did, then in the middle of a session making no administrative or filesystem-related changes it just flat stopped permitting access. | 20:00 |
| Ninjara | i'm puzzled as hell | 20:00 |
| janisozaur | ActionParsnip, more realtime? | 20:00 |
| real_name | what is ubuntu's equivalent to Windows Image Viewer? gpicview doesn't fit, since it cannot be used in order to print pictures | 20:00 |
| Flare183 | real_name: eog | 20:00 |
| Flare183 | real_name: or you can install gthumb | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | janisozaur: make a script and make it loop | 20:00 |
| VirusTB | janisozaur: id say screen print? the screen and use a color tool in GIMP | 20:00 |
| real_name | Flare183: thanks, I will look :) | 20:00 |
| sspc | hi, need some help with ubuntu 10.04 64 bit synaptic package problem | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !details | sspc | 20:01 |
| ubottu | sspc: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 20:01 |
| geoffmcc | VirusTB: if your still lookin- in win7 its under properties/advanced in network card - if dont support it then a reg thing | 20:01 |
| sspc | I got this error: " The package picasa needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." | 20:01 |
| janisozaur | ActionParsnip, I've got other uses for my cpu than burning it :P | 20:01 |
| Penguinista | ActionParsnip: I have a video file of format Mpeg [size 3.5 GB] I tried to copy it from my usb, but it fails after 2.4 GB. | 20:01 |
| janisozaur | VirusTB, and how about something in realtime? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | janisozaur: set a high nice value then, or have a sleep time between cycles | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Penguinista: all that is moot | 20:02 |
| === jeremy_ is now known as Guest59390 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Penguinista: what filesystem are you copying from and what filesystem are you copying to? | 20:02 |
| VirusTB | janisozaur: oh then that i dont know :( sorry im not a pro like the rest of these guys :) | 20:02 |
| VirusTB | geoffmcc: wow.... lol, how do i get thre? :S | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | Ninjara: :/ i'm at a lost. | 20:02 |
| waaade | does anyone here have any experience with Ubuntu server using RAID? | 20:02 |
| VirusTB | geoffmcc: right click? | 20:02 |
| Ninjara | erUSUL: :/ me too | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | waaade: hardware or software raid? | 20:03 |
| janisozaur | ActionParsnip, I'd rather like to have a solution rather than sort-of fix that would work once and the time not. It is possible, there are tools that run on wine, I'm looking for native counterpart | 20:03 |
| geoffmcc | VirusTB: network and sharing / change adapter settings, right click on adapter, then properties, then click on configure | 20:03 |
| coafcv | hi. ubuntu detects my printer, tries to install a plug-in for it, says the installation failed, but the printer works. thing is, the "do you want to install the plug-in"-window pops up at every restart and it bothers me a bit. anyway I can suppress that? | 20:03 |
| Penguinista | ActionParsnip: I am copying from my 4GB USB, I have no idea about its filesystem. I tried with windows and it have no issues. Then I tried with fedora, It got stucked exactly at 2.4 again.. | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | janisozaur: if one doesn't exist you can make your own. A "native counterpart" will essentially do the same thing | 20:03 |

| Ninjara | erUSUL: not a bad idea.. | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Penguinista: its not a shortcoming of linux at all, if you use fat32 the max filesize is 4gb. Which is why its not so good for storing dvd isos of 4.7gb | 20:05 |

| ActionParsnip | Penguinista: you can find out with: sudo parted -l | 20:06 |

| sspc | How should I fix the installation problem? | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Penguinista: maybe your usbs need a special boot option to play nice. Maybe linux needs a later bios. Don't forget that hardware companies support windows a lot more than linux in most cases | 20:08 |

| andycc | it's a metapackage | 20:27 |
| sir_robert007 | yeah i did that already | 20:27 |
| andycc | meaning it doesn't actually contain the Lubuntu desktop | 20:27 |
| erUSUL | Twist: the icon. click on it. it should show you nearby networks | 20:28 |

| LordHawke | haytham-med, Say I had a netbook that doesn't have an optical drive and I wanted to instal Netbook Remix.

| benjamin_ | Hey guys! I have a quick question about grub 2. I recently installed ubuntu 10.04 of a fakeraid (ich10r) and have it working. I used grub though to get it working. I since then have installed grub 2, but haven't written it to the mbr. My question is will it work properly? It won't run immediately when I chainload into it from Grub, but if I set root from (hd0,0) to (hd0,2) which is where my linux is, it'll start just fine. when I do upg | 20:42 |
| benjamin_ | rade-from-grub-legacy will this be a problem? or is there a way to change it so that when I do run upgrade-from-grub-legacy it'll be set to "root (hd0,2)"? | 20:42 |

| ubottu | ChrisPitzer: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 20:55 |

| erUSUL | CharlieSu: no; i doubt it gets in 10.10 either | 21:01 |
| erUSUL | !latest | CharlieSu | 21:01 |
| ubottu | CharlieSu: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:01 |
| Pici | CharlieSu: Not in the official repos, but one of our developers is packaging it in a ppa until it hits backports. See http://www.piware.de/?p=391 for links and details. | 21:02 |

| sadiq_ | hi ..I installed some wireless drivers and now when I run apt-get upgrade it wants to upgrade my headers and kernel...will I loose my drivers if I say yes? | 21:12 |
| duckx0r | jrib, is there a specific file i should be looking at? | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | sadiq_: depends on how you installed them | 21:13 |
| jrib | duckx0r: run gconf-editor and explore, that would be my guess as to where you can change it | 21:13 |
| gAmoO | c3l: from the website of the software | 21:13 |
| sadiq_ | erUSUL, downloaded a tar configured, make'd and I copied the resulting .ko file using gksu nautillus | 21:14 |
| duckx0r | jrib, are all the settings stored in ~/.gconf ? | 21:14 |
| corey | hi everyone | 21:14 |
| lepine | Is anyone having authentication issues for MSN using empthy on Lucid? | 21:14 |
| lepine | I haven' | 21:14 |
| jrib | duckx0r: the easier route is to just create a custom keyboard shortcut and have it run the command you want. ~/.gconf isn't really relevant to what I said. You shouldn't interact with gconf by editing files | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | sadiq_: you probably would have to redo the steps with the new kernel... | 21:14 |
| lepine | t been able to connect all day | 21:14 |
| corey | lepine the server is currently down | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | sadiq_: what driver did you installed? | 21:14 |
| c3l | gAmoO: thats never a good idea. you should _always_ install stuff via the repositories. sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client | 21:14 |

| corey | not even on my windows systems | 21:15 |
| duckx0r | jrib, ok thanks | 21:15 |
| sadiq_ | erUSUL, some driver from the ralink website...need more details? | 21:15 |
| corey | i just researched it a few hours ago and saw a yahoo thread where others were having issues too and it was server related | 21:15 |

| resno | newI: what are you thinking of doing? | 21:15 |
| corey | yeah i tried amsn emesen and msn | 21:15 |
| WrathZA | hi guys, naybody feel like helping a recent windows convert with a i915 VGA issue? | 21:15 |
| WrathZA | *anybody | 21:16 |
| erUSUL | sadiq_: no; are you sure the card did not worked with the default drivers? | 21:16 |
| newI | resno: what do you mean? i just want both XP and Ubuntu on ther | 21:16 |
| corey | wrath whats the problem | 21:16 |
| WrathZA | Kills X after about 15 secs :( | 21:16 |
| lepine | Oh well, I guess that answers my question. thanks | 21:16 |
| resno | newI: your choices are: dual boot or make it a guest on another os. | 21:16 |
| corey | yw =) | 21:16 |
| WrathZA | completly unresponsive, requires reset to revive | 21:16 |
| newI | resno: yes im aware. but neither are working. | 21:16 |
| WrathZA | box not dead though, can SSH in | 21:16 |
| ChesterX | newI: I suggest you try ubuntu through wubi | 21:16 |
| Flare183 | !enter | WrathZA | 21:16 |
| ubottu | WrathZA: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:16 |
| corey | im not a pro at ubuntu but id try a new driver | 21:16 |
| resno | newI: err, missed one. why not install on seperate drives? | 21:17 |
| sadiq_ | erUSUL, the card worked...needed to get rid of several annoying spam messages in the logs amongst other things... wireless was crappy also before | 21:17 |
| WrathZA | ok, got you. | 21:17 |
| newI | ChesterX: problem is the 1st drive (which XP insists on installing) is only 8gb, cant do both | 21:17 |
| corey | actually wrath hang on i might have a solution for you | 21:17 |
| newI | resno: XP insists on installing on first drive, 8GB. installed UNR on 2nd drive, and grub gives me a "geom error" when booting up, thats it | 21:17 |
| gAmoO | c3l: || E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 21:17 |
| gAmoO | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 21:17 |
| gAmoO | || | 21:17 |
| corey | the other day i was having that issue and i had a radeon driver stuck in my xconfig file i removed the line and it worked after that | 21:17 |
| jrib | duckx0r: gnome-settings-daemon source seems to just execute "gcalctool" | 21:18 |
| resno | gAmoO: you likely have a packagement open | 21:18 |
| adac | Suddenly my server was not reachable anymoe so i did a hard reboot. Where can I see what was wrong? | 21:18 |
| erUSUL | sadiq_: well as i said; you will have to recompile the driver for the new kernel | 21:18 |
| corey | im not sure if thats your problem but you might check to make sure the driver is right in xconfig | 21:18 |
| Flare183 | gAmoO: you've got apt-get, dpkg, or synaptic already open | 21:18 |
| quiescens | newi: if you are able to, you might be able to get away with windows on the first drive plus a smallish partition for /boot while leaving the rest on the second drive | 21:18 |
| resno | adac: you can check the logs /var/log/ | 21:18 |
| corey | anyone using meerkat 10.10? | 21:19 |
| sadiq_ | erUSUL, is there a way to stop the kernel and headers from upgrading themselves? | 21:19 |
| jrib | !10.10 | corey | 21:19 |
| ubottu | corey: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is NOT released and NOT Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 21:19 |
| WrathZA | corey: xorg.conf? | 21:19 |
| newI | quiescens: i tried that. it seems the problem is both OSs want to be installed on the primary hard drive, which is only 8gb big. | 21:19 |
| gAmoO | Flare183: well, I don't know. just tell me what to do to run this software | 21:19 |
| === zkriesse is now known as zkriesse_away | ||
| corey | yeah jrib i need help with it mines not contacting kded | 21:19 |
| duckx0r | jrib, so if i create another shortcut in gconf-editor will it overwrite the current one? | 21:19 |
| corey | yeah wrath | 21:19 |
| jrib | corey: help in #ubuntu+1 | 21:19 |
| corey | ok thank you | 21:20 |
| newI | quiescens: i had ubuntu installed on the first drive, worked fine, had XP installed on first drive, worked fine, its when they are both on there that it wont boot up | 21:20 |
| === diego is now known as Guest75482 | ||
| jrib | duckx0r: not sure what you want to overwrite. Just create a new key binding for the calculator key on your keyboard and have it call whatever command you want | 21:20 |
| xbonesx | how do you search your file system using the terminal? | 21:20 |
| alzie | newI; I think you can tell the WUBI installer to put wubi on second hard drive | 21:21 |
| c3l | gAmoO: that means your package manager is busy doing something else. are you updating something or similarly? you could try searching for teamspeak in the ubuntu software center or whats it called. first of all you should remove the version you installed from the web, and then install from the repository. If you need to run teamspeak now, try launching it from the terminal, it should be just teamspeak or similar, maybe ... | 21:21 |
| quiescens | newi: i don't know then, i know linux can run from a second drive, i just don't know how well ubuntu's installer handles it | 21:21 |
| c3l | ... teamspeak-client. or launch it via alt+F2 and type teamspeak in there | 21:21 |
| Guest75482 | xbonesx: find | 21:21 |
| xbonesx | for searching for a specific file? | 21:21 |
| WrathZA | It's weird, I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file only a xorg.conf.failsafe? | 21:21 |
| Guest75482 | find directory -name '*part*' for example | 21:21 |
| gAmoO | c3l: yes, updating :o | 21:21 |
| newI | alzie: that might work. | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | jhuliana: tar vzc directorio | ssh ususario@host 'cat > /path/destino/fichero.tar.gz' | 21:21 |
| Guest75482 | find directory -name yourfile.txt | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | sorry wrong chan | 21:21 |
| alzie | newI: on the wubi set up screen at asks where to set it up doesn't it? | 21:21 |
| c3l | gAmoO: ah that explains it, the packape manager cannot preform more than one task at a time | 21:22 |
| adac | resno: this is a snippet of /var/log/messages: http://pastie.org/1170739 any idea what was going on? | 21:22 |
| squarism | can one use wireshark for other computers on a network if they are using wireless | 21:22 |
| newI | alzie: yes, youre right. does that mean the drive has to be formatted to ex4? | 21:22 |
| xbonesx | Guest75482: what if i want to search the entire system? | 21:22 |
| duckx0r | jrib, what is the keybinding for the calculator key? i.e. what do I type in gconf-editor for the keyboard shortcut? | 21:22 |
| Guest75482 | c3l: aptitude is kinda sucky, you can use cupt to download in parallel ... still can only install one at a time | 21:22 |
| sadiq_ | xbonesx, find / -name yourfile.txt | 21:23 |
| alzie | newI: no, wubi will still only be using a virtual drive and will use the second drive for storage | 21:23 |
| Guest75482 | xbonesx: find / -name yourfile.txt | 21:23 |
| mdg | xbonesx: find / -name yourfile.txt | 21:23 |
| jrib | duckx0r: if you really want to use gconf-editor for some strange reason, copy what your current calculator key shortcut uses. It's probably easier to use compiz setting manager to make the shortcut though as you can just press the key you want | 21:23 |
| Dulak | Guest37232: aptitude does the best job of resolving dependencies of all the package tools, in my experience, please define 'sucky' | 21:23 |
| xbonesx | TY its doing its thing | 21:24 |
| bill | Having some issues getting mousepad to work. Can anyone help? | 21:24 |
| c3l | Guest75482: if bandwidth is a problem sure, but i got 10 mb/s downstream :) | 21:24 |
| jrib | bill: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 21:24 |
| Guest75482 | Dulak: sucky == no multithreading, still better for dependencies than cupt :) | 21:24 |
| duckx0r | jrib, the current calculator key shortcut isn't in the gconf-editor, and I'm using metacity, not compiz | 21:24 |
| Guest75482 | basically, if you update once a month, you have to download about a GB and install one by one | 21:24 |
| Guest75482 | when you could be installing 10 things at a time maybe | 21:25 |
| xbonesx | is their a way to search parts of file names, for instance im not sure if their are other characters involved in the file name but im looking for one that may contain the word conky in it | 21:25 |
| WrathZA | corey? xconfig? | 21:25 |
| paddy_ | What is the most popular tex/latex editor for ubuntu | 21:25 |
| bill | Why doesn't my mousepad work? | 21:25 |
| sadiq_ | xbonesx, find / -name *yourfile*.txt | 21:25 |
| Guest75482 | grep -R yourtext / | 21:25 |
| jrib | duckx0r: the key is likely XF86Calculator, but just use the keybinding program that gnome comes with to create a keybinding for some arbitrary action and use the information in gconf for that keybinding to help you create the new one | 21:25 |
| sadiq_ | bill, mousepad is the cloth that sits beneath the mouse right? | 21:25 |
| Guest75482 | oh, the word inside the filename is what sadiq_ said | 21:26 |
| xangua | there was a guy the other day using "lyx" paddy_ | 21:26 |
| bill | sorry, touch pad on laptop | 21:26 |
| paddy_ | xangua i am installing it now, are there anyothers that are good | 21:26 |
| Dulak | Guest37232: well since you are i/o bound for installs multi-threaded won't make anything faster really and adds the overhead of making sure 2 threads don't try to install the same package at the same time so I don't understand why it sucks for doing things one at a time, and in order | 21:26 |
| manlymatt83 | I really wish I could get 10.04 working. I'm trying to install it and it just keeps hanging at the splash screen. | 21:26 |
| manlymatt83 | I already wiped, but it would be a shame to have to go back to 9.10 | 21:27 |
| Dulak | Guest37232: not to mention dependencies have got to be insane when you move to multiple threads | 21:27 |
| tensorpudding | paddy_: lyx isn't really a latex editor | 21:27 |
| IdleOne | manlymatt83: try the Alternate install CD | 21:27 |
| c3l | manlymatt83: when at the splash screen, can you enter any of the consoles? ctrl+alt+1 | 21:27 |
| IdleOne | !alternate > manlymatt83 | 21:27 |
| ubottu | manlymatt83, please see my private message | 21:27 |
| duckx0r | jrib, ahhh.... I didn't see the "Add" button at the bottom. That would have saved me a lot of time :P Thanks! | 21:27 |
| WrathZA | manlymatt, you using an intel onboard VGA? | 21:28 |
| xbonesx | has anyone installed conky, downloaded the conkywizard and figured out how to use it (http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/conkywizard-gui-to-set-up-conky.html) | 21:28 |
| paddy_ | tensorpudding why not, is there one you can recomend? | 21:28 |
| Guest75482 | Dulak: for example, you could be installing package A while downloading package B if A does not depends on anything you dont have already | 21:28 |
| squarism | are there any other consumer routers than linksys WRT54GL that uses an accessible linux? | 21:28 |
| jrib | duckx0r: that must be new, I didn't even know about that | 21:28 |
| paddy_ | xbone conkey is great | 21:28 |
| Guest75482 | Dulak: aptitude will first download (one file at a time) , then install (in a correct order) one package at a time | 21:28 |
| tensorpudding | paddy_: lyx uses latex for formatting the finished work, but it doesn't require latex knowledge to use | 21:28 |
| manlymatt83 | c3l: I can indeed. If I hit escape I can even get to the terminals. It isn't locking up, just hanging. | 21:29 |
| Guest75482 | (sometimes downloading 10 files at a time is faster even from the same server, cause you ISP could be limiting by connection :)) | 21:29 |
| paddy_ | tensorpudding good but you can edit the latex code eaely? | 21:29 |
| Dulak | Guest37232: that's the insanity, all that extra crap to keep the deps straight kinda mitigates the bonus imo. Though the downloading could be done asynchronously I agree | 21:29 |
| bill | Ever since my last restart, the touchpad on my laptop hasn't worked. However, I can use an external mouse. How can I get the touchpad to work again? | 21:29 |
| tensorpudding | paddy_: you might be able to | 21:29 |
| manlymatt83 | WrathZA: It's a T42. I know it's onboard video, so yes, I think it is intel. | 21:29 |

| nanomachine | where can i get it? | 21:30 |
| paddy_ | tensorpudding what do you use | 21:30 |

| Penguinista | I have a question about, physical security. Is there a option to remove reboot/shutdown on the login screen? As, If I locked the system, other cannot just switch user and do a reboot/shutdown? | 21:31 |
| lepine | Penguinista: isn't that already the case when the machine is locked? | 21:32 |
| WrathZA | yeah, same issue. Have you got SSH server running? I can remote into my box, but X is toast | 21:32 |

| lepine | It isn't though, when no one has logged in | 21:32 |

| IdleOne | manlymatt83: yes | 21:34 |
| WrathZA | can anybody help me with my X config? | 21:34 |
| IdleOne | manlymatt83: the only difference is that it is not a live version, so you won't see the Try Ubuntu without installing | 21:34 |
| IdleOne | and the installer itself is text based but simple to follow | 21:35 |
| lepine | IdleOne: it does come with more than that, raid for example, iirc | 21:35 |
| IdleOne | lepine: yeah, has more options. I am not familiar with them all. | 21:35 |
| IdleOne | I should of said the Main diffrence instead of the only one | 21:36 |

| Somelauw | So are even things like javascript and flash completely safe? | 21:44 |
| tensorpudding | Somelauw: Linux has some rootkits available for it, but they are almost always obtained by running questionable software as root. You can test for them using something like rkhunter | 21:44 |
| Somelauw | What about cookies collecting personal details? | 21:44 |
| diego__ | it will still use the power supply and not the battery if connected ... but it won't charge the battery :S | 21:44 |

| iConfused | jags, cd into the directory the source was in | 21:47 |
| mobal | hi | 21:47 |
| iConfused | sudo make uninstall | 21:47 |
| jrib | DARUDE: ~ means /home/YOUR_USERNAME usually. Directories that start with a '.' like ".mozilla" are hidden by default. You can show hidden directories in nautilus by either pressing ctrl-h or going to view → show hidden files. If you do not have a ~/.mozilla/plugins, create it | 21:47 |

| tensorpudding | Somelauw: So long as you keep your machine up-to-date, don't enable network services you don't need, and don't run programs that you don't trust, you should probably never have a security issue. | 21:47 |
| uLinux | I have 2gb of RAM. Is it fine to use 2gb for swap? i dont want to use 4GB! | 21:47 |
| Dulak | jags: if that gives an error you have to do it manually, which sucks | 21:47 |
| jrib | mobal: you set it during install | 21:48 |
| uLinux | !swao | 21:48 |
| Somelauw | How is root acces regulated? If one program requires root access and I permit it, does that enable root access globally or does that just give the current program root access? | 21:48 |
| uLinux | !swap | 21:48 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 21:48 |
| mobal | yes i set | 21:48 |
| MichealH | Do DARUDE Insttead of "nick <enter> I need help" try nick: "I need help" or just !tab | 21:48 |
| mobal | but now i want to change it | 21:48 |

| tensorpudding | uLinux: Yes. | 21:48 |
| ubottu | DARUDE, please see my private message | 21:48 |
| jrib | mobal: do you know it? | 21:48 |
| mobal | yes | 21:48 |
| jrib | mobal: Do what it says at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset but skip the parts to skip authentication obviously | 21:48 |
| uLinux | tensorpudding: i have 1tb hdd but it's just i dont want to use like 4gb.. currently i have 5.6 with defaul installation | 21:49 |
| Dulak | uLinux: if you want to suspend, have more than your ram in swap, but it only has to be a little bigger than the amount of ram | 21:49 |

| syntaxman | is root on lvm part of the default lucid installation? | 21:50 |
| jrib | WrathZA: you're asking a strange question: where is something that does not exist? | 21:50 |

| jrib | WrathZA: better idea is to tell us why you are looking for it :) | 21:50 |
| MichealH | NS_tech: Go ahead :) | 21:50 |
| WrathZA | jrib: where is the configuration file then? | 21:50 |
| MichealH | WrathZA: You have to create it | 21:50 |
| jrib | WrathZA: most things are configured "on the fly" by X nowadays | 21:50 |

| mgmuscari | syntaxman: from wikipedia: "The installers for the ... and Ubuntu distributions are LVM-aware and can install a bootable system with a root filesystem on a logical volume." confirmed. | 21:55 |

| mgmuscari | syntaxman: looks like the installer will take care of it for you, you're good to go | 21:56 |
| jrib | Dempf: don't know maybe you can tweak some compiz setting, try #compiz | 21:56 |
| mgmuscari | crohakon: you can directly mount it using the mount utility using -o loop i think | 21:56 |
| mgmuscari | crohakon: mount -o loop image.iso mountpoint | 21:57 |

| uLinux | Is 30GB good enough for filesystem? | 21:57 |
| ljsoftnet | uLinux yes | 21:58 |
| jeremy_passarell | What size is your Hard Drive? | 21:58 |
| uLinux | 1TB | 21:58 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: it depends. what filesystem are you talking about? | 21:59 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: ext4 | 21:59 |
| uLinux | the /root | 21:59 |
| uLinux | etc except /home | 21:59 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: are you creating separate partitions for other things? | 21:59 |
| mgmuscari | hmm | 21:59 |
| jeremy_passarell | are you trying to install Ubuntu? | 21:59 |
| mgmuscari | 30 is probably fine but if you see yourself installing a lot of extra packages, or having things running that write a lot of information into /var you might want to go bigger | 22:00 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: yes im gonna reinstall 2.1gb swap maybe 30gb for / and left space for /home | 22:00 |
| Dulak | uLinux: 30g is exactly what I use for / on my systems, it's enough for most stuff, but it really depends on where you are gonna use the space | 22:00 |
| NS_tech | i was trying to install limewire and when the package manager ran it came up with an error. it said to fix it, type sudo apt-get install -f. i did and got this error: http://pastebin.com/HHL3LfqY | 22:00 |
| Monotoko | Right...cross platform question. I am wanting to stream the audio output from my Windows XP gaming computer to my Ubuntu netbook (which is plugged into the stereo)...how would I go about it? | 22:00 |
| jeremy_passarell | uh, you should use the entire hard drive | 22:00 |
| uLinux | Dulak: /tmp (temporary?) folder is important right | 22:00 |
| gapw | ubuntu-xen-desktop : Depends: xen-tools but it is not installable | 22:01 |
| gapw | :( | 22:01 |
| uLinux | Dulak: sometimes I convert videos | 22:01 |
| Dulak | uLinux: yes but it's autocleaned after 72 hours iirc | 22:01 |
| mgmuscari | Monotoko: the easiest way would likely be by installing pulseaudio on your windows pc, and setting it up on both machines to be able to use TCP | 22:01 |
| gapw | Package xen-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another sourceHowever the following packages replace it: bash-completion | 22:02 |
| mgmuscari | Monotoko: the audio is probably going to be rather choppy, especially over wifi... you may want to consider setting up some QoS rules on your router to improve performance | 22:02 |
| gapw | why package broken? | 22:02 |
| MaximLevitsky | mgmuscari: don't agree | 22:02 |
| Dulak | uLinux: you can split anything off to a dedicated partition to match your use, so /tmp can be it's own partition, or /var/www could be it's own partition if that's where you need space | 22:02 |
| uLinux | Dulak: im thinking of using logical partitions. is it ok or should i use some primary? | 22:02 |
| mgmuscari | MaximLevitsky: on which point | 22:02 |
| MaximLevitsky | mgmuscari: over wifi here pa works very well | 22:02 |
| MaximLevitsky | mgmuscari: although its not usuable for some reason in SDL games | 22:03 |
| mgmuscari | MaximLevitsky: i've had some problems with it but then again my audio streams have been fully duplexed 96kHz | 22:03 |
| Dulak | uLinux: 30g is pretty good for a base size, and primary partitions are preferred, though it will work fine either way | 22:03 |
| MaximLevitsky | mgmuscari: lag of 1~2 seconds | 22:03 |
| uLinux | Dulak: can I resize all the logical after? | 22:03 |
| uLinux | Dulak: if I need more space for / or other partition | 22:03 |
| Dulak | uLinux: it's not the easiest thing to resize partitions but it's possible | 22:04 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: yes, but back everything up first... | 22:04 |
| uLinux | Dulak: ok so im goin for 2.1 swap 30gb / and left space for /home | 22:04 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: yes i did backup it took many hours lol | 22:04 |

I can't use the wifi network (WPA-ENTERPRISE PEAP/MSCHAPv2 and WPA-ENTERPRISE TTLS) on my univerity and am forced to resort to windows 7 (which I rather not)? | 22:09 |
| Milosz | area51pilot, to what kind of authentication do you have set your AP exactly? | 22:09 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: if you're worried about logs and stuff filling it up, you can create a separate partition for /var, or make a cron job to clear log files | 22:09 |
| Dulak | uLinux: it's up to you, I've done installs in partitions as small as 6g before, you just have to know where you are gonna use space. Better too much than not enough, imo | 22:09 |
| uLinux | Dulak: yes but if im using only 6gb .. 30gb is too much. maybe 15 or 20gb would be enough for the future | 22:09 |
| Milosz | area51pilot, I mean, when using WEP | 22:09 |

| area51pilot | milosz: i can connect to WPA/WPA2 fine, but never WEP | 22:11 |
| uLinux | Dulak: well for me i prefer to have a lot of space for /home so i can save a lot of stuff (videos etc | 22:11 |

| mgmuscari | HisDudeness: it won't break the hard disk, but you could bork the partition table, and you could very well lose the data on the ntfs partition | 22:14 |

| === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le | ||
| mgmuscari | HisDudeness: fyi, because of the way NTFS works, there will pretty much always be some annoying metadata exactly halfway through the partition, so when you resize you'll likely only be able to half it. defragmenting from windows and then resizing again will move the metadata and allow you to shrink by half again... | 22:15 |

| mgmuscari | HisDudeness: could take hours | 22:16 |

| uLinux | mgmuscari: what is /usr for? | 22:17 |
| tensorpudding | resizing partitions is not really simple | 22:17 |
| remfarkas | it is, with gparted | 22:17 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: sharable, read only data | 22:17 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: user programs and stuff go in there | 22:17 |

| uLinux | mgmuscari: so when you reinstall you dont lose that stuff right? i thought i was used only in /home | 22:18 |
| tensorpudding | I think that "user system resources" is a backronym for usr | 22:18 |

| mgmuscari | uLinux: try running man hier | 22:20 |
| balhux | hi there | 22:20 |
| remfarkas | checking it wont start gdm | 22:20 |
| balhux | somebody knows a channel to program with jogl, java and opengl? | 22:20 |
| remfarkas | i have downloaded it from official mirror | 22:20 |
| mgmuscari | balhux, start in #java | 22:20 |
| balhux | thnks | 22:21 |
| area51pilot | Milosz: I will have to restart in linux | 22:21 |
| emperium | remfarkas you have 9.10 installed? | 22:21 |
| Dulak | uLinux: user facing apps like the browser, email client. etc all use /home. Daemons like database servers and web servers, etc do not use /home | 22:21 |
| area51pilot | Milosz: Currently in Win 7 because I needed an inet connection | 22:21 |
| remfarkas | yes, atm i am using a 9.10 version which is installed on a 4gb sd card | 22:21 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: Dulak: iirc tomcat uses /var, and /etc for example | 22:22 |
| Milosz | area51pilot, allright | 22:22 |
| emperium | remfarkas try this --> sudo apt-get install update-manager-core | 22:22 |
| remfarkas | those are working fine but i have downloaded xubuntu, ubuntu and ubuntu netbook edition, they just dont start normally | 22:22 |
| Dulak | uLinux: for a workstation machine /home is enough to keep your personal settings, on a server you'd have configs in /etc, variable data in /var, and binaries under /usr you'd be looking at | 22:22 |
| DonSlice | 5~5~ | 22:22 |
| emperium | remfarkas then --> # | 22:22 |
| emperium | edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal | 22:22 |
| mgmuscari | Dulak++ | 22:22 |
| remfarkas | i want to know why the 10.04 live cds arent working | 22:22 |
| emperium | try 10.04.1 | 22:23 |
| remfarkas | there is not even an option at the start to choose language | 22:23 |
| emperium | probably is an cdplayer error | 22:23 |
| emperium | try to run it from a pen | 22:23 |
| mgmuscari | hmmm no karma bot in here, eh? | 22:23 |
| koltroll | Hey guys. I'm setting up a simple lamp server with ubuntu. I have my wwwroot in /var/www. I'm know going to add a user I can use for ftp so that I'll get down into /var/www. Is it anything I should think on when I create the user that's going to be used for FTP ? | 22:24 |

| DARUDE | Anyone here familiar with GLX-Dock 2.2 | 22:28 |
| rbastic | Hello, when I watch auth.log using the Log File Viewer, I am seeing "Successful su for rbastic by root" over and over again and it keeps popping up.. This doesn't happen on a similar 10.04 machine I have. Anyone familiar? | 22:28 |
| rbastic | Sorry, not popping up, but updating text box | 22:29 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: i say allocate 20G for /, 25G if you're really paranoid, and you're golden | 22:29 |
| mgolisch | rbastic: probably a cronjob | 22:29 |
| rbastic | That runs every 5-6 seconds? | 22:30 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: okay | 22:30 |
| rbastic | What does + ??? root:rbastic mean | 22:30 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: btw why do you use a partition for /boto | 22:30 |
| uLinux | */boot | 22:30 |
| mgolisch | uLinux: why not? maybe / is on a raid device or lvm | 22:31 |
| rbastic | here's whaty syslog looks like: http://pastebin.com/BFP0WnTz | 22:31 |
| Dulak | uLinux: it's a carry over from old boot loaders that couldn't boot a kernel that was physically beyond tho 1024th cylinder, but it is useful for raid setups where you want to be able to boot a kernel regardless of the state of the raid array | 22:31 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: habit | 22:32 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: one thing it's easier to keep my bootloader if i reinstall | 22:32 |
| emperium | please http://img689.imageshack.us/i/screenshotds.png/ what can I do the fix this | 22:33 |
| mgmuscari | just throw the new kernel image in there and modify the configuration | 22:33 |
| mgolisch | rbastic: some program that runs as root starts something as your user | 22:33 |
| DonSlice | When I right click on a panel, I only get "About Panels" and "Help." | 22:33 |
| mgmuscari | i chainload other OS's | 22:33 |
| DonSlice | Can someone help? | 22:33 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: im using 22mb in /boot | 22:33 |
| DonSlice | Furthermore, it looks like I can't right click my Menus at all | 22:33 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: yeah my boot is usually like 200mb | 22:34 |
| mgmuscari | right now i'm using 85 | 22:34 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: im gonna install manually because i want to upgrade Ubuntu in the future | 22:34 |
| rbastic | mgolisch, I compared my crontab to my desktop machine's crontab and they are identical. | 22:34 |
| uLinux | using clean installation | 22:34 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: i stopped upgrading after 9.10, heh | 22:35 |
| DARUDE | So no one here used GLX-Dock? | 22:35 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: so.. will i be fine with just a partition for / and another one for /home? | 22:35 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: yep | 22:35 |
| LeronT | Hello, I just started ubuntu, can someone tell me how to install a .tar.bz2 package? | 22:35 |
| mgmuscari | LeronT: that's not a package, that's a compressed archive. like a zip file | 22:36 |
| alzie | LeronT: what are you wanting to install | 22:36 |
| LeronT | alzie: cinelerra | 22:36 |
| mgmuscari | LeronT: you'll want to download the .deb installer package for whatever it is you're installing | 22:36 |
| rbastic | This is in auth.log, sorry. Not syslog. | 22:37 |
| LeronT | mgmuscari: there was no .deb option on the page, it only downloaded this. | 22:37 |
| Pertheria | Hey, whats a good flac music player for ubuntu 10.10?.. all the ones i try either dont add songs to playlist ( rythmbox ), or treat my samba share as a stream ( amarok ) | 22:37 |
| tensorpudding | Is there no GUI tools for configuring System V's rc scripts? | 22:38 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | LeronT, find a file README.TXT inside this archive | 22:38 |
| rbastic | You know what.. I run asus_oled on this laptop as a driver. What are the odds that's what's su'ing to display all my system info every 5 seconds? ;) | 22:38 |
| zeld | hi all... i'm just installing ubuntu on eepc from usb stick | 22:38 |
| DonSlice | Pertheria: Check out moc. It's simplistic, but it works. | 22:38 |
| mgmuscari | LeronT: i highly recommend against attempting to install from the .tar.bz2 | 22:39 |
| dragonfly | I'm trying to setup netbook remix with an openvpn client. I've got the config loaded/saved, but when I try to connect it doesn't prompt for the certificate password and gives the "no valid vpn secrets" message | 22:39 |
| zeld | but... he try to install it from the network.... and i do not understand.. | 22:39 |
| DonSlice | Pertheria: Then run moc with mocp | 22:39 |
| LeronT | rafaelsoaresbr: thanks, I was looking for the readme, but couldn't find it. XD Then I remembered there's a search option | 22:39 |
| mgolisch | rbastic: if its something started as root that might be | 22:39 |
| zeld | i prepared the usb stick by using unetbootin | 22:39 |
| Pertheria | thanks donslice | 22:39 |
| alzie | LeronT: http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu has the download and instructions | 22:39 |
| DonSlice | When I right click on a panel, I only get "About Panels" and "Help," and I cannot right click my Menus... Any help on this? | 22:39 |
| mgmuscari | lol... about 10 more seconds of looking would've led him to that link | 22:39 |
| mgmuscari | alzie: i was about to send that too | 22:39 |
| Resnik | anyone got some spare time, to help me with squid configuration please? | 22:39 |
| sxndave | LeronT: http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu | 22:39 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | LeronT, you may have to install some dependencies like gcc or tcl. so you should read that file. | 22:40 |
| rbastic | mgolisch, yes, i am quite silly. running the oled driver is what's su'ing every 5 seconds or so. i just stopped it and the log stops filling | 22:40 |
| janisozaur | how do I list symbols in .a library? | 22:40 |
| rbastic | would've been much friendlier of it to report the program accurately though... maybe that is worth fixing | 22:40 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: gonna make the partitions all logical like Ubuntu automatic install does | 22:41 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: all of my linux partitions are logical | 22:42 |
| Proumbro | can anyone here direct me to some documentation concerning process management in linux, I am trying to learn more about preemption, deadlock, etc... | 22:42 |
| Dulak | all of mine are primary, either way works | 22:42 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: really do not see the connection between preemption, deadlock, and process management ... | 22:43 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL: kinda new to this, taking a class on OS systems and comparing their processing capabilities | 22:44 |
| Proumbro | right now we are studying how the Os prioritizes processes to avoid deadlock | 22:44 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: first link on google: http://oreilly.com/catalog/linuxkernel/chapter/ch10.html | 22:44 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: so you want to learn how the scheduler works? | 22:44 |
| aBaldrich | hey a quick question, how do I resize my main partition? I want to create a separate /home partition before testing 10.10 | 22:44 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I was hoping there was something in Lucid I could explore and tinker with | 22:44 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: fyi processes can still deadlock despite any priority given to them by the scheduler | 22:45 |
| jarlg | what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? I recall aptitude was more preffered before? | 22:45 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I know this :) I am trying to distinguish the differences between Windows Linux and OSX | 22:46 |
| emperium | whit whom was I talking to? | 22:46 |
| VCoolio | jarlg: different handling of dependencies when uninstalling; aptitude has an ncurses interface | 22:46 |
| emperium | my connection quits | 22:46 |
| jarlg | VCoolio: So basically, stick to one of them? | 22:46 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: e.g. if one process X obtains a lock on resource A, and process Y obtains a lock on resource B, then X attempts to get a lock on B, and Y attempts to get a lock on A | 22:46 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: difference in process scheduling? | 22:46 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: yeah like how the prioritize and such | 22:46 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: another thing i dont get.. they sell hdds saying 1TB but the actual size is not that so how can I know the real size i can use? | 22:47 |
| VCoolio | jarlg: doesn't matter in this case, but if you use apt-get you need 'apt-get autoremove' to get rid of unneeded dependencies | 22:47 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: heh, yeah, that's a pretty lame marketing tactic they use | 22:47 |
| uLinux | they use bits? | 22:47 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I really want to dig into Lucid and look at settings such as the time slice associated with preemption | 22:47 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: they usually mean 1,000,000,000,000 bytes... but 1TB is actually a lot more than that | 22:48 |
| uLinux | suckers lol | 22:48 |
| rbastic | Proumbro, there are different kernel schedulers depending on what version of lucid you use. | 22:48 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: 1) Lucid is a distribution of Ubuntu - what you want is the Linux kernel | 22:48 |
| Dulak | uLinux: they use base 10 instead of base 2, so they say a gig is 1000 megs when it's supposed to be 1024 megs | 22:48 |
| rbastic | Proumbro, iirc Ubuntu Studio runs a pre-emptive kernel patch | 22:48 |
| uLinux | ohh | 22:48 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: 2) i forgot what 2 was going to be | 22:48 |
| aBaldrich | Proumbro: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-scheduler/ this is a great article | 22:49 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: http://kernel.org/ | 22:49 |
| mgmuscari | have a peek | 22:49 |
| volodya | does anybody know how exactly the encrypted directory is mounted during login -- i.e. what component actually runs the 'mount' command? | 22:49 |
| area51pilot | why is it I can boot a Knoppix stick and be able to connect to any (WEP/WPA/WPA2) netowrk on any machine but trying to connect using WEP from 10.04 or 10.10 is No Joy | 22:49 |
| RBecker | If no one is answering in #ubuntu+1 should I ask here? Maybe someone could help? | 22:49 |
| erUSUL | rbastic: Proumbro studio runs a realtime version of the kernel,. the normal kernel supports preemt | 22:49 |
| area51pilot | frustrating! | 22:49 |
| uLinux | so 1TB to them is 931gb to us | 22:49 |
| mgmuscari | uLinux: you got it | 22:50 |
| rbastic | erUSUL, ah yes, i stand corrected | 22:50 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I know, but I want to get to the Linux kernel inside my Lucid machine to toy with it a bit and look at the settings | 22:50 |
| Proumbro | aBaldrich: yeah I've looked at that already :) | 22:50 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I've looked at that too, and kernelnewbies.org | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: less /proc/sched_debug ;P | 22:51 |
| fred2040 | Hi, a little question.. in my home server I installed x11vnc server and open a port in firewall ... then, I tried to access from my pc with default remote connection in ubuntu.... but I Cant | 22:51 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL: ah like that, I am looking for the files associated with the scheduler and such | 22:52 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: sudo apt-get install fakeroot kernel-wedge build-essential makedumpfile kernel-package; sudo apt-get build-dep linux | 22:52 |
| RBecker | fred2040: did you change the IP address to the correct one and setup x11vnc on the host? | 22:53 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I'm not a pro at this and I don't want to start building my own kernel :) | 22:53 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: you don't need to build it - but it can be helpful to read the source code | 22:53 |
| mgmuscari | i'm trying to figure out the exec system call right now, and reading the kernel source has been the most helpful tactic so far | 22:53 |
| mgmuscari | that and using strace | 22:53 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: I saw that earlier and thought about it (and may go back to it) but was afraid of doing something awesome to kill my laptop | 22:54 |
| mgmuscari | best bet then is to just download the kernel source from kernel.org and poke around inside | 22:54 |
| uLinux | mgmuscari: gonna reinstall later | 22:55 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: alright, that was what I was thinking, but I wanted to mae sure that Lucid didn't have something built into it where you can observe | 22:55 |
| juboba | why the spam check? | 22:55 |
| juboba | lol | 22:55 |
| Proumbro | the processes going on and their priorities | 22:55 |

| nathan312 | Can someone help me quick with Wine? I want to install Office 2007 on my netbook through Wine. I have the whole cd files on my USB flash stick and then I change directories to it (I copied the file to the actual HDD) and then in terminal type: wine setup.exe. It just comes up with a bunch of errors. ANY help??? | 22:55 |
| juboba | How do I restore the position of the Notitify-OSD on Lucid? | 22:55 |
| subichan | excuse me, how do i mount an usb hdd ? i'm a newbie | 22:55 |
| mgmuscari | Proumbro: top is probably the closest you'll get to observing that in "real time" | 22:55 |
| rbastic | nathan312, can you use pastebin.com to paste your errors ? | 22:56 |
| juboba | subichan: just plug it in | 22:56 |
| mgmuscari | context switches occur many times per second | 22:56 |
| rbastic | nathan312, or some other means | 22:56 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: what is top? | 22:56 |
| nathan312 | I'm currently on my PC with my netbook beside me. Is there anyway I can do that?? | 22:56 |
| mgmuscari | open a gnome-terminal and execute top | 22:56 |
| juboba | Proumbro: Tablo of Processes | 22:56 |
| subichan | juboba: it's dead, it sees it when i plug it but i can't mount it to access the data through guy, i wanna try with terminal but i don't know a thing | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | htop is nicer | 22:57 |
| subichan | i thought i'd find it in /dev | 22:57 |
| rbastic | hrm, does ubuntu come with a standard GUI-based task killer at this point? or is there one out there that people here tend to like? | 22:57 |
| mgmuscari | ooh, i like htop. thanks, erUSUL | 22:57 |
| Proumbro | mgmuscari: essentially a read-only task manager | 22:57 |
| rbastic | i can get around np on the CLI (for 'top' and 'killall'/'kill -9') but from an end user perspective it'd be nice to have... i've got one convert friend who likes ubuntu but hates CLI | 22:57 |
| Proumbro | htop? | 22:57 |
| juboba | How do I restore the position of the Notitify-OSD on Lucid? | 22:58 |
| Dulak | rbastic: there is a panel app that lets you kill processes from the panel | 22:58 |
| juboba | subichan: what does dmesg say? | 22:58 |
| xangua | juboba: try this http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/patched-notifyosd-updates-option-to.html | 22:58 |
| tensorpudding | rbastic: you can stop processes using the system monitor | 22:58 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: give me one sec for pastebin.com | 22:59 |
| subichan | fat directory bread failed, i/o error, etc etc | 22:59 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: not read only. you can kill processes from (h)top | 22:59 |
| subichan | lots of errors, juboba | 22:59 |
| Dulak | rbastic: right click a panel, choose add to panel, and choose 'Force Quit' from the list, then you can click that button, then click a misbehaving window to force it to die | 22:59 |
| tensorpudding | rbastic: it is rather similar to windows task manager | 22:59 |
| juboba | subichan: maybe it has a corrupt file system | 22:59 |
| juboba | How do I restore the position of the Notitify-OSD on Lucid? | 22:59 |
| juboba | does anybody know? | 22:59 |
| rbastic | System Monitor is more what I had in mind for an "End User" | 23:00 |
| juboba | ohh thanks xangua | 23:00 |
| rbastic | So I can tell him to just kill "npviewer.bin" once in a while if things seem to be chugging slowly | 23:00 |
| subichan | juboba: i'm afraid a virus on vista killed the filesystem.. but i need to at least make an image of the hdd | 23:00 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL: yeah im dling htop now I was talking about regular top | 23:01 |
| rbastic | subichan, have you tried booting into safe mode w/ networking? | 23:01 |
| subichan | rbastic: nope. what does that involve and how would it help me? | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: the same. press "k" enter pid to kill | 23:02 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL: you can also change the priorities from htop?? O_O | 23:02 |
| rbastic | subichan, if the viruses aren't too bad, you may be able to network the two boxes together and boot into Safe Mode w/ Networking via pressing F8 at boot-time... I used this to FTP the files off an old infected machine recently. | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: nice value? "man top" tells me r lets you renice a task | 23:03 |
| juboba | subichan: unplug the drive, replug it and do: dmesg | tail | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: you have to be the "owner" or root of course | 23:03 |
| rbastic | (ubuntu to windows, so no risk of cross-platform viruses really:) ) | 23:03 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL: yeah the nice value, I'll have to look at the README more, but I think this is what I wanted thx very much | 23:04 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: pastebin.com/MhAaMmk7 | 23:04 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: that's the errors I am getting | 23:04 |
| Milos_SD | that FloodBot has some bug... it wanted me to type a word that is on a image, but I didn't even opened the image... and it let me in :S | 23:04 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: see « man schedtool » | 23:04 |
| Milos_SD | and I didn't typed the word | 23:04 |
| Milos_SD | :) | 23:04 |
| rbastic | nathan312, I'm no WINE expert, but my best guess is you need to 'cabextract' those DLLs into somewhere convenient. | 23:05 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: um, i'm a newb lol, what does that mean? | 23:05 |
| subichan | juboba: a bunch of lines like this but with different numbers: [ 1890.696676] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 119224 | 23:05 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL: what was that? | 23:05 |
| rbastic | nathan312, sec, I'm googling :p | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | Proumbro: what? | 23:06 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: ok lol thanks | 23:06 |
| juboba | subichan: first create a /mnt/tmp dir or other. Then: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp | 23:06 |
| rbastic | nathan312, you need to install http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks | 23:06 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: ok lemme do that quick | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | !info winetricks | nathan312 | 23:06 |
| rbastic | nathan312, then probably run 'winetricks msxml3' and 'wine /path/to/setup.exe' at a Terminal | 23:06 |
| ubottu | nathan312: Package winetricks does not exist in lucid | 23:06 |
| rbastic | nathan312, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4992 | 23:07 |
| Proumbro | erUSUL nvm thanks for your help lol | 23:07 |
| nathan312 | ubottu: that mean i cannot run office 07 thru wine on my netbook/ | 23:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:07 |
| nathan312 | ? | 23:07 |
| Heretic121 | er... | 23:07 |
| nathan312 | erUSUL: what? | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | nathan312: you have to get winetricks from somewhere else. i have the it in the wine ppa | 23:07 |
| Heretic121 | why do you need office 07? | 23:07 |
| Heretic121 | you could also just use OpenOffice | 23:08 |
| nathan312 | erUSUL: i have no clue what that means...I'm a newb at this | 23:08 |
| mgmuscari | later all | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | nathan312: a ppa is a third party repositorie of software ... | 23:08 |
| nathan312 | Heretic: i know, I have used openoffice, I just dont' like the powerpoint version of it. I like MS version of it much more | 23:08 |
| nathan312 | erusul: ok | 23:08 |
| Dulak | nathan312: you can use native app OpenOffice to read and write Office 07 docs/spreadsheets etc | 23:08 |

| nathan312 | erusul: ok thanks lol | 23:21 |
| mattgyver | ohad, not too sure. Ive seen this kind of layout a few times and it deffinately looks like gnome-do im not sure what theme they are using though | 23:21 |
| rbastic | i pointed him at the winehq.org app support page, there's a whole other slew of instructions he needs to follow potentially | 23:21 |
| eduardo | is there a way to remove a program other than the terminal? | 23:21 |
| mattgyver | ohad, unless im an idiot and its just avant window navigator (which i use) with a custom theme | 23:21 |

| erUSUL | nathan312: anyway; you now have a nwer version of wine. maybe now it works with any tinkering... | 23:22 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: oh great lol | 23:22 |
| rbastic | nathan312, yes, it looked quite arduous. i just installed msxml3 easily enough after following erUSUL's injstructions for installing winetricks | 23:22 |
| rbastic | literally just 'winetricks msxml3' from the command line and an installer will pop up. So that's probably step 1. | 23:22 |
| nathan312 | ok cool, thanks | 23:23 |
| eduardo | Rbastic, i got it uninstalled now and the problem is still there :/ | 23:23 |
| nunya | i only recently switch to ubuntu a few months ago and used this very same disc to install on both my laptop and on my desktop. | 23:23 |
| jrib | nunya: did it ask you for a password then...? | 23:23 |
| overflow0x | can i change the "black square rectangle" that forms while "minimizing" window in GNOME? | 23:23 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: that code you gave me just gave me a SLEW of errors lol | 23:23 |
| rbastic | 'winetricks msxml3' ? | 23:24 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: yes | 23:24 |
| rbastic | eduardo, I don't know. Sounds like you changed something still or haven't uninstalled *everything*. You might be able to restore your original X config file if you're lucky. | 23:24 |
| VCoolio | overflow0x: you can set visual effects to something better than 'none' and the animation will improve much if your videocard is ok with it | 23:25 |
| rbastic | eduardo, i can help you look to see what backup X config files you have, that's easy enough. | 23:25 |
| eduardo | rbastic, that would be great! | 23:25 |
| rbastic | nathan312, you shouldn't have any problems installing msxml3 if you have wine and everything else installed | 23:25 |
| nathan312 | rbastic: i did what you guys told me lol...umm...lemme look | 23:25 |
| ohad | one more thing, I installed conky, but I can't find it in the menu, and if I go to terminal and type conky, it loads but I have to have the terminal open all the time and I can't even move the conky screen. what am I doing wrong? | 23:25 |
| rbastic | eduardo, get a Terminal open again and type: cd /etc/X11 | 23:26 |
| rbastic | eduardo, then type ls | 23:26 |
| VCoolio | ohad: you need to create a nifty config file, then run that; also 'nohup conky &' will enable to close the terminal | 23:26 |
| eduardo | hmm, says no such directory when i do cd /etc/x11 | 23:26 |
| nunya | no, and when it boots it takes a long time to get to this aformentioned login screen, if i hit the ecs key i can see the terminal and it looks like ubuntu is trying to install but sudo or something is not allowing it to saying unknown user or something like that | 23:26 |
| overflow0x | VCoolio, when i enable effects i get buggy graphics e.g. VLC and totem quits sometimes as soon as i start a video, also i get black color instead of menu buttons, which goes away when i hover mouse on it | 23:26 |
| rbastic | eduardo, capital X | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | eduardo: is capital X | 23:27 |
| eduardo | rbastic woops! haha sorry | 23:27 |
| rbastic | no worries | 23:27 |
| rbastic | once you see :/etc/X11$ at the end of your command prompt | 23:27 |
| jrib | nunya: do what I first told you | 23:27 |
| rbastic | type 'ls' (no quotes) | 23:27 |
| eduardo | ok, got it | 23:27 |
| VCoolio | overflow0x: then the answer is no, you can't change the rectangle; metacity is very basic; with visual effects you have compiz as window manager which is much more customizable | 23:27 |
| rbastic | you should be looking for the existence of files like xorg.conf.backup, xorg.conf-backup-100908194324 (example numbers, yours will vary), xorg.conf-failsafe ... etc. | 23:28 |
| jrib | nunya: i.e. reburn the disc and verify the integrity of the cd afterwards | 23:28 |
| jrib | !verify > nunya | 23:28 |
