| Talon_ | I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, and gnome as my gui, I have two monitors and they are configured to be seperate X sessions. if I move my mouse from one to the other, focus is lost on the other monitor without clicking or anything, this makes any application be it a flash video in a browser or vlc player exit full screen so I can't work in one and watch a video fullscreen on the other.. is there | 00:07 |

| agentgasmask | Hi guys, is there a way to have a sound play on each keystroke, like a clicking sound? | 00:09 |
| ppq | unperson, you can make Xorg generate a xorg.conf (no capital x in the filename!) for you. then you just have to modify few things. to check if x uses the file, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for output about the settings you made in xorg.conf | 00:09 |
| undecim | etherealite: man intramfs-tools | 00:09 |
| unperson | ppq, Okay, thanks. | 00:09 |
| undecim | etherealite: I know a little bit on the subject myself. Enough that I created my own hook to add a binary to my own initramfs, so let me know if you get stuck. | 00:10 |

| rww | dzeremis: 1) ubottu is a bot. my message was telling ubottu to give you the factoid that it did. 2) presumably, the characters you're missing are the ones before gconftool and after panel; the part you need is what's inside them, not them themselves. | 01:22 |

| Jordan_U | xbonesx: "invisible partition"? | 02:33 |
| slinger | crucialhoax, change boot device? | 02:34 |

| crucialhoax | slinger, It doesnt matter, it hits bios then goes straight to that.. | 02:34 |
| brandon__ | In Karmic for Intel Graphics and Lucid for ATI and NVIDIA, the logic for setting up monitor resolutions moved from the X server to the kernel, however in some cases the quirks or other specialized logic in the X server has not been copied over. | 02:34 |
| brandon__ | does that mean that xorg.conf might be confusing ubuntu? | 02:34 |
| slinger | can you get into the bios config? | 02:34 |

| ometzit | i was about to use universal usb installer | 02:38 |
| ometzit | when i notice it asked for the iso | 02:38 |
| crucialhoax | Jordan_U, There is not a netboot option in the bios. this particular bios is very unconfigurable | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | ometzit: Try Super GRUB2 Disk, it's less than 2 megabytes and will allow you to boot 10.04. | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | crucialhoax: Is there room for both cards? (on the off chance it won't complain if it can recognise the broken one). | 02:40 |

| ometzit2 | sorry, kicked me out. i'll try with super grub | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | ometzit: Be sure you use Super GRUB2 Disk rather than Super GRUB Disk based on grub legacy. | 02:42 |
| ometzit2 | thanks for the heads up | 02:42 |

| ectospasm | NickT: does it show in lsusb? Start there. | 02:56 |
| slinger | Icehole, its easy to fix that corona source code to get it compiled you just need to add "#include <memory.h>" to the two files it complains about src/OpenTGA.cpp and src/Convert.cpp | 02:56 |

| Icehole | I've found a better mapper. | 02:58 |
| ectospasm | NickT: open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal). Type 'lsusb' | 02:58 |

| tensorpudding | ometzit2: those are two different kernels | 03:25 |
| tensorpudding | when you install a new kernel, the old one is kept | 03:25 |
| F0XX | tensorpudding: is that just incase the new kernal is buggy? | 03:26 |
| tensorpudding | I'm not sure if that is the reason, but it would make sense | 03:26 |
| F0XX | ok | 03:26 |
| tensorpudding | If you replace the kernel without a backup, and it for some reason can't boot on your machine, then you are in trouble. | 03:27 |
| pksadiq | how to search inside man files? | 03:28 |
| tensorpudding | pksadiq: / | 03:28 |
| tensorpudding | pksadiq: then type the search term | 03:29 |
| ElbNerd | rww: cool, thanks a lot, all tests on my host are "Relay access denied" | 03:29 |
| Drone | man man to figure it out | 03:29 |
| pksadiq | let me try | 03:29 |
| tensorpudding | pksadiq: and hit enter | 03:29 |
| RBecker | Hi there, is there a way to make either apt, aptitude, or some command line program force install a previous version and prevent upgrades? | 03:29 |
| tensorpudding | pksadiq: you can use n and p to cycle through matches | 03:29 |
| tensorpudding | pksadiq: err, just n | 03:29 |
| pksadiq | k | 03:30 |
| xomp | any reasons why I get this error when trying to untar this file? gzip: stdin: not in gzip format | 03:31 |
| xomp | I'm using tar xzvf Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz | 03:31 |
| pksadiq | and so how to list files with certain size | 03:32 |
| blakkheim | xomp: try with just tar xvf | 03:32 |
| pksadiq | ? | 03:32 |
| xomp | same error blakkheim | 03:32 |
| metal1633 | #timekpr | 03:32 |
| blakkheim | xomp: gunzip it maybe? | 03:32 |
| icarus-c | xomp, try "file Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz" | 03:32 |
| icarus-c | xomp, likely that the file is corrupted | 03:32 |
| icarus-c | xomp, or not a gz at all | 03:33 |
| pksadiq | best I feel is 7z | 03:33 |
| xomp | icarus-c, strange, Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz: HTML document text | 03:33 |
| icarus-c | lol | 03:33 |
| blakkheim | lol | 03:33 |
| xomp | I don't get it lol, so now .tar.gz == .html, .txt? | 03:33 |
| icarus-c | so unreal | 03:33 |
| RBecker | It's Unreal. That's your problem | 03:33 |
| icarus-c | xomp, maybe you downloaded a wrong file | 03:34 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | hello, does anyone know if ATI's DVI2HDMI Adapter sends sound and image together? | 03:34 |
| xomp | icarus-c, I did this wget http://unrealircd.icedslash.com/Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz" | 03:34 |
| tensorpudding | It's likely that you downloaded an HTML document instead of the actual archive. | 03:34 |
| tensorpudding | xomp: that link is a redirect to a website | 03:34 |
| icarus-c | some downloda website take you to a page called "your_file.blah" but in fact, it is a webpage that handle download ticket and stuff | 03:34 |
| RBecker | rafaelsoaresbr: since DVI is video only, unless it has an audio input then it won't | 03:34 |
| objorn | What are the default permissions for my home folder and how do I restore them? | 03:34 |
| xomp | ah so they've changed it.. bah! | 03:34 |
| tensorpudding | xomp: most likely wget didn't follow it, and grabbed the page | 03:34 |
| xomp | +1 for wget heh | 03:35 |
| icarus-c | xomp, yea.. open the website with a web browser, you will see the REAL download button there | 03:35 |
| xomp | thanks icarus-c :) | 03:35 |
| === douglas is now known as speedrunnerG55 | ||
| icarus-c | xomp, http://unrealircd.icedslash.com/Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz just redirect you to http://www.unrealircd.com/downloads.php with some special data i suppose | 03:35 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | RBecker: I think since HD2XXX Series it sends. is there anyone here using this adapter? | 03:36 |
| ometzit2 | i need some help, i'm trying to run grub-setup -d /dev/sda5 (where is installed linux) but it doesnt work it say no device especified | 03:37 |
| icarus-c | objorn, 700 for folders, 600 for files | 03:37 |
| RBecker | rafaelsoaresbr: I don't use it so I wouldn't know | 03:37 |
| RBecker | But either way, DVI is video only, no audio | 03:37 |
| RBecker | So as I said, it should send audio but only if the adapter has DVI and audio inputs | 03:38 |
| RBecker | err, audio outputs in your case | 03:38 |
| RBecker | since you're going HDMI > DVI not DVI > HDMI | 03:38 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | I knowm, but you may know that Catalyst includes an HDMI device. | 03:39 |
| RBecker | I don't, I'm not an ATI user | 03:39 |
| thune3 | objorn: actually the default would be 755 for home and subfolders and 644 for files, but there are reasons you may want 700 and 600 | 03:40 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | okay | 03:40 |
| RBecker | I'm an NVIDIA user, but right now I'm screwed over because in Ubuntu 10.10 there's a driver issue between the NVIDIA driver and the X server version in that release | 03:40 |

| ectospasm | jinxzs: see #xubuntu | 03:41 |

| jinxzs | how to go there? i am so new in this | 03:42 |
| tman482 | Drone: ifconfig -a in a term, under eth0 or wlan0, or otherwise, depending on your setup | 03:42 |
| ectospasm | jinxzs: /join #xubuntu | 03:42 |

| Gnea | objorn: what are they currently set to? | 03:43 |
| objorn | I've tried sudo chmod -R u+rw /home/safar no luck | 03:43 |
| objorn | Gnea, I don't know how to tell | 03:43 |
| RBecker | ls -la | 03:44 |
| Gnea | objorn: type this: ls -ld /home/safar | 03:44 |
| RBecker | or -ld | 03:44 |
| etherealite | Why are dvds in mplay and vlc all scrambled looking? | 03:44 |
| RBecker | -la will give it to you in drwrwxrwx format | 03:44 |
| pksadiq | use sudo chwon | 03:44 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | objorn: man chmod | 03:44 |
| objorn | drw-rw-r-- 142 safar safar 1228 | 03:44 |
| Gnea | objorn: okay, it needs the execute bit set - this is a bit saner: sudo chmod 4711 /home/safar | 03:45 |
| jrib | objorn: why are your permissions messed up to begin with? | 03:45 |
| rww | etherealite: probably because you haven't done https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 03:45 |
| objorn | Thank you Gnea | 03:45 |
| Gnea | cheers | 03:45 |
| jrib | Gnea: why setuid? | 03:46 |
| rww | no good reason that I can think of :\ | 03:46 |
| pksadiq | are you all using irssi or something else ? | 03:47 |
| Gnea | to make sure that any file that gets created there is owned by him | 03:47 |
| jrib | Gnea: setuid doesn't do that | 03:47 |
| Gnea | really? | 03:47 |
| jrib | Gnea: yep, setuid on directories is ignored on linux | 03:48 |
| Gnea | since when? | 03:48 |
| rww | forever | 03:48 |
| jrib | Gnea: forever? | 03:48 |
| Gnea | ... | 03:48 |
| Gnea | well, nothing wrong with 711, and 4711 isn't even a security risk | 03:49 |
| Gnea | so if it's ignored, it won't hurt anything | 03:49 |
| rww | so like I said, "no good reason that I can think of" | 03:50 |
| etherealite | rww works great now, thanks! | 03:50 |
| Gnea | just because you can't think of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist :) | 03:50 |
| * Gnea googles | 03:50 | |
| rww | Umm. I think we just showed that it doesn't exist :\ | 03:50 |
| Gnea | I'm pretty sure we didn't | 03:51 |
| Gnea | a discussion without anything to back it up is pretty much null and void... | 03:51 |
| Gnea | I've never seen linux ignore it | 03:51 |
| IdleOne | and offtopic for this channel | 03:51 |
| rww | I guess you're not good at admitting mistakes. I'll go find something better to do :) | 03:51 |
| jrib | Gnea: meh, just try it in your terminal | 03:51 |
| === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy | ||
| Gnea | IdleOne: it has to do with making sure we don't mislead the user, I'd say it's quite relevent. | 03:52 |
| Skipp_Debian | Gnea: define "without anything to back it up" | 03:52 |
| Gnea | jrib: I just did, and it set the bit. | 03:53 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: granted. | 03:53 |
| Braber01 | Hi | 03:53 |
| jrib | Gnea: the claim is that setuid on a directory does not cause files created in the directory to have the same owner as the directory | 03:53 |
| F0XX | Braber01: hello | 03:54 |
| Gnea | jrib: okay, that part, yes, I am wrong about - sorry. | 03:54 |
| Braber01 | I have a question about a possible compressed file corruption. | 03:54 |
| jrib | Gnea: but you say files have setuid inherited or did I misread? I didn't know about that | 03:54 |
| rahduke | so i have my home partition on a seperate partition and i just did a fresh install, how do i restore the backed up user? | 03:55 |
| jrib | Braber01: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 03:55 |
| Gnea | jrib: no, I did say that, I just wasn't thinking it through correctly - there's a good reason for it, but that reason would be offtopic, and I wouldn't have a problem entertaining it via PM at some point | 03:55 |
| jrib | rahduke: did you create the user with the same uid and username? | 03:55 |
| rahduke | jribb: no i learned my lesson last time i tried that... | 03:55 |
| Braber01 | I was working on a Java project in /home/ben/Workspace/* I used the zip util then mv the file to ~ them e-mailed them to a windows machine where did my file get corrupt? | 03:55 |
| rahduke | jrib: when i tried that last time it screwed everything up and i hadda start over | 03:56 |
| jrib | rahduke: heh, that would be the easy way. Anyway, what's your current setup? You want to create a new user or what? | 03:56 |
| rahduke | jrib: that messed me up last time, i dont think that works | 03:56 |
| jrib | Braber01: go check if you can unzip your file before the e-mail part? | 03:56 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, if you have use a separate partition for /home, and assuming that you didn't mess it up, you could restore everything simply by mounting that back to /home, and chown if needed | 03:56 |
| jrib | rahduke: ok, what's your current situation? | 03:56 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: techincally im not using a seperate parition for home, I'm just using a seperate parition for my old user name... | 03:57 |
| === ascott_ is now known as ascott_nb | ||
| Braber01 | oh so that's what i did wrong oh well, it doesn't matter now, I re-started the project and it didn't take me any time at all though | 03:57 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, you mean like use another partition for /home/rahduke ? | 03:58 |
| rahduke | jrib: my SSD died (after 6 months!!!) and now im just installed 10.04 on a seperate 500gb HD, my user home folder is on my other 1.5tb drive | 03:58 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: yes | 03:58 |
| rahduke | exactly | 03:58 |
| jrib | rahduke: after you leave this channel today, do you want to use a separate partition as your /home? | 03:58 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, so mount that partition back to /home/rahduke && chown -R rahduke:rahduke /home/rahduke | 03:59 |
| pksadiq | I haven't yet succeeded in changing the tty resolution !tty isn't pretty helping atleast for me, hoping for help | 03:59 |
| rahduke | jrib: yea man I want to restore my old folder /home/rahduke, when i opened home on my previous installation i would see all of my stuff on the 1.5tb drive | 03:59 |
| Braber01 | I will be back got to take mai pills :( | 03:59 |
| jrib | rahduke: ok. What user did you create during install? | 04:00 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: do i need to create a new user? | 04:00 |
| rahduke | jrib: a random name | 04:00 |
| rahduke | bill | 04:00 |
| jrib | rahduke: do you care about this bill account? | 04:00 |
| rahduke | not even a little | 04:00 |
| eppa | hey, so why would apt-get upgrade be holding back landscape-common? | 04:01 |
| rahduke | i did this once before but it was like a year ago... i have no recollection of what i did | 04:01 |
| jrib | rahduke: create the "rahduke" user, add him to the "admin" group, chown your files on the separate /home partition that should belong to rahduke to have the proper ownership (by uid), edit your fstab, restart | 04:01 |
| Gnea | jrib: there was a time when the setuid meant something in a multi-user environment. it seems that, yes, it has been merged or deprecated. | 04:01 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, ok what is your current user name, and the its $HOME path ? | 04:01 |
| jrib | Gnea: yeah, some systems use it as you said. I think for example on freebsd it's possible to have it behave like you described | 04:02 |
| rahduke | jrib: my fstab should be something like /dev/sda1/rahduke /home ext3 bla bla bla ? | 04:02 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, no... but /dev/sda1 /home/rahduke | 04:02 |

| Guest97781 | Hi How can i change the buttons on the window border to the other side thanks | 04:03 |
| Braber01 | my school has telnet, I could telnet to my home cpu, then get on here... should I? | 04:03 |
| jrib | !controls | Guest97781 | 04:03 |
| ubottu | Guest97781: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 04:03 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: i have to mount my 1.5tb drive and then also add a line for my home folder move? | 04:03 |
| jrib | Braber01: you shouldn't use telnet; use ssh | 04:03 |
| Guest97781 | !controls | 04:03 |
| Braber01 | from a windows machine *shudder* | 04:03 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, um.. you confuse me | 04:03 |
| Chiggins | Hey, how would I run a program through the terminal, and keep it running, but be able to still go back to the terminal | 04:03 |
| Gnea | jrib: this is actually good news - it means that someone else can own a file or directory within someone's home directory and not be able to delete it | 04:03 |
| Guest97781 | jrib ? | 04:04 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: lol i think i confused myself... | 04:04 |
| jrib | Guest97781: read what ubottu said | 04:04 |
| Braber01 | jrib: I know to use ssh however windows doesn't have ssh I don't think | 04:04 |
| icarus-c | Chiggins, you mean even after you close the terminal? | 04:04 |
| jrib | Braber01: use putty on windows | 04:04 |
| Gnea | Braber01: putty works great | 04:04 |
| Drone | putty | 04:04 |
| Guest97781 | jrib it didnt say anything | 04:04 |
| Braber01 | don't think I can download stuff on college computers though | 04:04 |
| jrib | Guest97781: yes, it did. He said it in the channel right after I said "!controls | Guest97781" | 04:04 |
| Chiggins | icarus-c - like, if i type in 'gedit', Gedit starts, but then i can continue to type commands and other programs into the same terminal | 04:05 |
| Gnea | Braber01: sure you can, it doesn't need admin rights to run | 04:05 |
| Drone | is it stupid when I rdesktop into my W7 machine and then putty back into my original machine? lol doh! | 04:05 |
| Guest97781 | jrib oh i thought that was a person ok | 04:05 |
| Guest97781 | jrib well for some reason it moved them to the right side with this one theme i want them on the left | 04:05 |
| Eisenheim | br ? | 04:05 |
| Braber01 | yeah the school, has to approve all downloaded softare on thier campus computers | 04:05 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: so i created an fstab entry" /dev/sdb1 /media/bigdrive ext3 defaults,relatime 0 2" | 04:05 |
| pksadiq | how to give an output of a command to input of other command ? | 04:06 |
| jrib | Guest97781: I imagine the instructions would be similar | 04:06 |
| icarus-c | Chiggins, after you run gedit, click back to the terminal, press "ctrl-z", then enter command "bg". now gedit has been backgrounded, you could run another program | 04:06 |
| Gnea | well that sucks, we pretty much have free reign here | 04:06 |
| jrib | pksadiq: command1 | command2 | 04:06 |
| Braber01 | I don't think putty would be one of them... | 04:06 |
| Primedeath | Hiya. I Was wondering how I am able to get my CPU fan working in Linux. | 04:06 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: that mounts my 1.5tb drive at boot, now i want to mount /media/bigdrive/rahduke2 to / home?? | 04:06 |
| Primedeath | For some reason it doesn't want to turn on. | 04:06 |
| pksadiq | but vim | find | grep as is not working | 04:06 |
| pksadiq | that's an example | 04:06 |
| jrib | Braber01: you don't have to install putty, you can just run the exe. But in any case, ask your administrator if you can use putty (or securecrt) | 04:07 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, um.... where you want to mount your 1.5tb drive and what's that /media/bigdrive/rahduke2 ? | 04:07 |
| Braber01 | just wondering who here is using irssi? | 04:07 |
| jrib | pksadiq: you should ask your real question... | 04:07 |
| pksadiq | ok | 04:07 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: well i made an fsstab line "/dev/sdb1 /media/bigdrive ext3 defaults,relatime 0 2" so thats mounting my 1.5tb at /media/bigdrive | 04:07 |
| Braber01 | who irssi | 04:08 |
| Braber01 | nope didn't work | 04:08 |
| pksadiq | I need to open a text file in vim which is found by using find command, so how to? | 04:08 |
| Guest97781 | jrib root@curtis-laptop:~# $ gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "close,minimize,maximize:" | 04:08 |
| Guest97781 | $: command not found | 04:08 |
| icarus-c | pksadiq, find -exec | 04:08 |
| pksadiq | almost all colleges and schools use proxies | 04:09 |
| jrib | Guest97781: first of all, why are you root? | 04:09 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: then at the root of that drive i have a folder called rahduke2 (my old username) so i want to make antother entry saying rahduke2 loads in the home folder | 04:09 |
| pksadiq | icarus-c: let me try | 04:09 |
| Guest97781 | jrib well when i run codes i always go in root lol thats not a good idea? | 04:09 |
| jrib | Guest97781: nope | 04:09 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: maybe i should just mount my 1.5drive to /home | 04:09 |
| icarus-c | pksadiq, like find . -name "blah.txt" -exec vim {} \; | 04:09 |
| Guest97781 | jrib ok | 04:09 |
| Braber01 | frist rule of Linux NEVER EVER WORK AS ROOT unless you KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING | 04:10 |
| Primedeath | Anyone know how to get my CPU fans working? It doesn't seem to want to work in Linux. | 04:10 |
| Gnea | second rule, most commands are in lowercase | 04:10 |
| jrib | Guest97781: now notice, when you were root you had a "#" sign in your prompt. As a regular user, what do you see in place of the "#"? | 04:10 |

| Guest97781 | ) | 04:10 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, i don't really know what you want to do... don't you want to keep the old user's files? | 04:10 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: yes | 04:10 |
| kaizen | can anyone tell me what's wrong with this script plz? i get missing operand error at expr http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/500104/ | 04:11 |
| rahduke | icarus-c: i just wanna restore the home folder, get my conky working like it did, be able to save to the same folders etc etc | 04:11 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, you could like... mount that 1.5tb drive to /home, mkdir /home/rahduke2 (old username), then mount the old user home partition to /home/rahduke2 | 04:11 |
| jrib | kaizen: what's the actual error? | 04:11 |
| icarus-c | rahduke, that means you have 1.5tb mounted to /home, then old user home partition mounted on top of it to /home/rahduke2 | 04:12 |
| kaizen | jrib expr: missing operand | 04:12 |
| Braber01 | well good night | 04:12 |
| Guest97781 | jrib says my name then laptop | 04:12 |
| jrib | kaizen: pastebin exactly what you are running and the full output | 04:12 |

| kaizen | jrib weird i ran same script again and it worked this time | 04:13 |
| jrib | Guest97781: I'm not asking about the output. At your normal prompt, what do you see after "curtis-laptop". You see some symbols? | 04:13 |
| kaizen | jrib thanks anyway | 04:13 |
| mikeru | like, bluray players DVD upscaling | 04:13 |

| Guest97781 | jrib ~$ | 04:13 |
| jrib | Guest97781: yeah, notice the $ is in the command you copied? That's just to show you you run it in a shell. You don't copy the $ | 04:14 |

| RBecker | yes | 04:15 |
| HexLaTor | thanks guys ! | 04:15 |
| RBecker | Guest97781: it shows what kind of prompt it is, either root or regular | 04:15 |
| HexLaTor | gd night ;) | 04:15 |
| pksadiq | how to use find -exec command , have to execute /usr/bin/vim | 04:15 |
| RBecker | $ is a regular user prompt, # is a root prompt | 04:16 |
| Guest97781 | jrib ok i got it working thanks | 04:16 |
| Guest97781 | RBecker, Thats good to know thanks | 04:16 |
| RBecker | yup | 04:16 |
| jrib | pksadiq: did you check « man find ». A few -exec examples are in there | 04:16 |
| casa | Ubuntu-es have a big problem, the server banned me for five times, when i dont do anything wrong | 04:16 |
| pksadiq | I can't follow :( | 04:17 |
| casa | uBOT-fr is the bot that banned me | 04:17 |
| jrib | pksadiq: why do you want to do this? | 04:17 |
| jrib | casa: try #ubuntu-irc | 04:17 |
| casa | its the same? | 04:18 |
| casa | jrib its the same? | 04:18 |
| jrib | casa: that's where you can get help from admins in #ubuntu-es (I think) | 04:18 |
| casa | aaaa ok | 04:18 |
| casa | thanks | 04:18 |
| pksadiq | I need to find a file using find | grep command and open that file in vim | 04:19 |
| jrib | pksadiq: yes, I know. find does that and its man page has plenty of examples using -exec. I'm asking why you want to do this at all? | 04:19 |
| giamp | #crunchbag | 04:19 |
| * pksadiq I'm confused | 04:20 | |
| Bred_RJ | why dont you use locate instead of find? | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | I'm just looking to have my adsl home ubuntu 10.04 system be the dns server for my godaddy.com registered web address using dynamic updated no-ip pointing to it. Am I using outdated info for BIND 9.7.0-P1? I keep getting update failed: NOTAUTH(BADKEY) with nsupdate -v -k $KEYFILE when I do send | 04:21 |
| pksadiq | locate is not searching in /media | 04:21 |
| Bred_RJ | try sudo updatedb && sudo locate /media | 04:21 |
| pksadiq | let me try | 04:23 |
| tazz | How do i increase apt's Cache-Limit ? | 04:26 |
| Gnea | tazz: add more hd space | 04:27 |
| Bred_RJ | is /var in another partition? | 04:28 |
| RBecker | not by default | 04:28 |
| Bred_RJ | i know | 04:28 |
| travisgriggs | is it likely that there will be an update for 10.04 to move cairo up to 1.10? | 04:32 |
| KB1JWQ | Nope. Maybe 10.10. | 04:32 |
| icarus-c | BrendenB, you need to edit updatedb.conf and add /media before hand | 04:33 |
| icarus-c | (i mean remove /media from exlude) | 04:33 |
| icarus-c | remove /media from $PRUNEPATHS to be precise | 04:34 |
| === I_want_ely is now known as the1994 | ||
| tazz | Gnea, interestingly thats not the solution. | 04:36 |
| tazz | Getting "E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room" when using apt-get or aptitude? Put the following line into your /etc/apt/apt.conf: APT::Cache-Limit "12582912"; If that file doesn't exist, create it, or put the line in a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ If you still get the same error, increase the value. Alternatively, delete entries within /etc/apt/sources.list that you don't actually need. | 04:36 |
| Gnea | tazz: o.O okay, I misunderstood what you were asking... weird, never seen that before | 04:37 |

| billy | Ryen: some clown put 3 byte quotes in what should be ascii | 04:51 |

| mark4444 | I don't have a USB stick but I have an external hard drive that I'm using to store all my files from the hard drive. Right now I've got XP and Ubuntu installed but I want to drop XP can I run the installation from my external hard drive instead of a USB stick?? | 04:58 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:59 |
| AbhiJit | mark4444, yes just make a small seperate 2 gb partition in extern hdd and install ubuntu iso there and from there you can install ubuntu | 04:59 |
| === PentiumMMX is now known as Pentium3 | ||

| mark4444 | that's good | 05:00 |
| cyberpun1 | I was thinking to hide the taskbar .. umm how to do that ? | 05:00 |
| Ryen | cyberpun1: Do you mean delete the last gnome-panel? | 05:00 |
| cyberpun1 | yea .. I guess | 05:00 |
| the1994 | mark4444, Just remember to resize your current partition instead of creating a new one over what you have.. | 05:00 |
| cyberpun1 | that menu and everything | 05:01 |
| i_is_broke | just right click on it, go to prop. and tell it to auto hide | 05:01 |
| AbhiJit | mark4444, look we are storing ubuntu iso in completley seperate partition. so that will not touch the files on other partitions. so no problem. just be sure to makr this 2gb partitions so that while in the process you will not harm the other partition and its data | 05:01 |
| cyberpun1 | just wana hide | 05:01 |
| cyberpun1 | dnt wana delete | 05:01 |
| bazhang | cyberpun1, right click properties | 05:01 |
| Ryen | cyberpun1: Right click it, goto properties, and select hide. | 05:01 |
| cyberpun1 | done .. | 05:01 |
| AbhiJit | mark4444, as you may know that 2gb partitions shold be fat32 | 05:01 |

| cyberpun1 | and also I need one more thing | 05:02 |
| Ryen | cyberpun1: No problem. | 05:02 |
| cyberpun1 | how to hide the desktop icons | 05:02 |
| mark4444 | also when I first installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix I couldn't use the wifi so we had to get a wired connection and get the drivers updated or whatever, two things showed up STA and something starting with a B I think. I updated just the STA and I can connect with the wifi but the icon up top always has an exclamation point, is there anything I need to do about that? | 05:02 |
| Ryen | cyberpun1: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ | 05:02 |
| Ryen | Same idea, just click 'show desktop icons' | 05:03 |

| delinquentme | use of sudo apt-get etc IS using synaptic right? | 05:04 |
| Ryen | cyberpun1: Open gconf-editor, goto apps>nautilus>prefrences, and uncheck show_desktop | 05:04 |
| AbhiJit | wihch is the default command line text editor ship with ubuntu? | 05:04 |
| maco | delinquentme: other way round. synaptic is a front end for apt-get | 05:04 |
| maco | AbhiJit: nano | 05:04 |
| AbhiJit | e.g. vim is not there by defualt so which one is there? | 05:04 |
| the1994 | i know nano is there | 05:04 |
| delinquentme | maco! | 05:04 |
| delinquentme | ha i KNOW YOU! | 05:04 |
| delinquentme | thanks! | 05:05 |
| Roasted | Problem - I can log in to Ubuntu, but if I lock my screen and try to log back in it says incorrect password. I'm using the same password... | 05:05 |
| AbhiJit | maco, ok and is this nano better than vim? | 05:05 |
| maco | delinquentme: and yet i'm still willing to answer questions for you... | 05:05 |
| Ryen | AbhiJit: Not in my opinion, I installed VIM. | 05:05 |
| Gnea | maco, delinquentme: actually, synaptic is a gui frontend for dpkg, as apt-get is a commandline frontend for dpkg | 05:05 |
| AbhiJit | Ryen, mm | 05:05 |
| tman482 | Roasted: Do you hit a key to stop the screensaver and get the password box? | 05:05 |
| maco | AbhiJit: it wears its manpage on the bottom two rows of the screen, making it easier for normal users than vim which results in "i couldnt figure out how to exit, so i hit the power button" ;-) | 05:05 |
| Roasted | tman482, yes. | 05:06 |
| Roasted | tman482, but it says wrong pw | 05:06 |
| AbhiJit | maco, :D | 05:06 |
| Roasted | tman482, yet I know its right. | 05:06 |
| maco | Gnea: does synaptic not use libapt? | 05:06 |
| Ryen | Roasted: Are you using it in a virtual machine? | 05:06 |
| Roasted | tman482, I copied the etc shadow, group, and passwd file from my old install to import users/groups. | 05:06 |
| Roasted | I think thats where it went wrong | 05:06 |
| Roasted | no its a native install | 05:06 |
| Roasted | I just dont know how to fix it | 05:06 |
| delinquentme | haha well maco im trying to get rails 3 running | 05:06 |
| tman482 | Roasted: Try resetting your password in the term normal like. | 05:07 |
| mark4444 | also got another problem: whenever I remove the power cord whether from the wall or the actual computer i lose the wifi connection everything gets bogged down and sometimes I get sent to the login screen and sometimes it just shuts down. | 05:07 |
| Roasted | I reset it in the gui already | 05:07 |
| Ryen | Roasted: https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee-coders/msg00805.html | 05:07 |
| tman482 | Roasted: Try it once in the terminal just for good luck. Also, does the root password unlock the screen, for any strange reason? | 05:07 |
| Gnea | maco: it does, but so does apt-get | 05:07 |
| Roasted | tman482, there is no root password in ubuntu | 05:07 |
| maco | Gnea: fair enough | 05:07 |
| Roasted | tman482, just the user password that gets elevated priv | 05:08 |
| Ryen | Roasted: Try the link I sent you. | 05:08 |
| Gnea | maco: good call | 05:08 |
| tman482 | Roasted: Ah, right. Hmm. Try resetting it via the terminal, and check out Ryen's link. | 05:08 |
| Roasted | Ryen, I just did, but I cannot lock my screen to try it in case it fails just yet. Im in the middle of a project but Ill try it in a few minutes when Im able to | 05:09 |
| Roasted | thanks guys! | 05:09 |

| linuxuz3r | hi | 05:10 |
| linuxuz3r | whats a good source version control? | 05:10 |
| Gnea | linuxuz3r: svn, git | 05:11 |
| maco | linuxuz3r: something distributed! git, hg, or bzr ... svn & cvs require net access to use so theyre annoying | 05:11 |
| mark4444 | i'm reading a How To on partitioning an external hard drive and it says once you start the partition all data will be lost, so I guess I should have partitioned before I transferred all my files | 05:11 |
| Gnea | linuxuz3r: depends what you need it to do | 05:11 |
| linuxuz3r | Gnea: its only for school | 05:11 |
| Gnea | linuxuz3r: well, it depends what they'll be doing and how they'll be doing it | 05:12 |
| thune3 | mark4444: maybe look at /var/log/syslog working backwards. Maybe see if you can find events related to the power change. | 05:12 |
| Gnea | linuxuz3r: #linux might be a good place to ask about it | 05:12 |
| maco | linuxuz3r: i use bzr to keep from losing my homework. its easier than git so unless you have something huge enough to warrant git (which i doubt is the case with homework) ... | 05:12 |
| linuxuz3r | ok thanks | 05:13 |

| Roasted | slooksterpsv, you serious? | 05:32 |
| Roasted | thats it? | 05:32 |
| Ryen | lubun2: Haha, just looked off of a website, tried it myself and epic fail, let me do some more research. | 05:32 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted - yes | 05:32 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, *crosses fingers* | 05:32 |
| bullgard4 | What's the use to start the IBus daemon? | 05:33 |
| Roasted__ | slooksterpsv, no dice. | 05:33 |
| Roasted__ | on laptop now | 05:33 |
| Roasted__ | desktop is rebooting | 05:33 |
| st__ | bullgard4, it powers your IME | 05:33 |
| Roasted__ | this is probably *the* most annoying ubuntu issue Ive ever ran across | 05:33 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted__: where was it, I just read about this a day or two ago | 05:33 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted__: what version of ubuntu? what kernel? what bits (32-bit 64-bit?)? | 05:33 |
| Roasted__ | 10.04 64 bit | 05:33 |
| Roasted__ | latest kernel | 05:33 |
| slooksterpsv | I'm using the same, so your kernel is 2.6.32.24 | 05:34 |
| bullgard4 | st__: Can you tell me please what do you mean by IME. There are so many IME acronyms. | 05:34 |
| multipass | yo i have ubuntu, and i wanna try out the KDE, im wondering which package to get--kubuntu-desktop or kde? | 05:34 |
| st__ | bullgard4, input method editor, app for typing in weeboo crap | 05:34 |
| Flannel | multipass: kubuntu-desktop, yes. | 05:35 |
| jdsfojidf | I have 2 OS' installed. W7 and Ubuntu. Can I increase Ubuntu's partition to completely remove windows 7 and use that space without losing any personal data on my ubuntu partition? | 05:35 |
| ldunn[laptop] | jdsfojidf, yes | 05:36 |
| jdsfojidf | Excellent. Do you know of a particular program you'd recommend to do this? | 05:36 |
| ldunn[laptop] | GParted, you'll have to do it from a livecd | 05:37 |
| st__ | jdsfojidf, you don't have much choice | 05:37 |
| R136a1 | Ryen, it didn't work. still having the same issue | 05:37 |
| multipass | Flannel: so kubuntu-desktop will let you choose kde or gnome at login? | 05:37 |
| jdsfojidf | I see, thanks. Guess I need to buy some more blank DVD's. Thanks for the help. | 05:37 |
| xangua | jdsfojidf: and is't always a good idea to make a copy of your data before modify partitions | 05:37 |
| Flannel | multipass: yep | 05:37 |
| lubun2 | R136a1, beca there is no such thing as apt-get package | 05:37 |
| lubun2 | *bec | 05:37 |
| multipass | Flannel: cool thanks | 05:37 |
| R136a1 | lubun2, i reinstalled apt and gnome-terminal | 05:38 |
| st__ | anyone use the samba client in ubuntu? | 05:38 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted_ - question how much disk space is free on the hard drive? | 05:39 |
| lubun2 | R136a1, so what is the err message? | 05:39 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, about 700gb. | 05:39 |
| lubun2 | multipass, if you want to try KDE, it's better to try the Kubuntu live cd | 05:39 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, I had a 500gb drive and upgraded to a 1TB drive | 05:39 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, I copied my etc /passwd group and shadow file from my old install. | 05:39 |
| multipass | why is that, lubun2 | 05:40 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted: ok... umm.. why, if I may ask | 05:40 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, I didnt see an issue with it, as it was directed by numerous people here to back up my users and reimport them, but then this issue came about | 05:40 |
| bullgard4 | st__: Synaptic Lucid: "IBus - a new input method framework using dbus: IBus is an Intelligent Input Bus. It is a new input framework for Linux OS. It provides a full-featured and user-friendly input method user interface. It also may help developers to develop input methods easily." -- What are "input methods"? And what are they used for? | 05:40 |
| R136a1 | lubun2, there is no error message, i am just not having autocompletion for package names in gnome-terminal or terminator after typing "sudo apt-get install xc" and press tab,for exampl | 05:40 |
| crucialhoax | If a card reader in a laptop doesnt function, what package should I file the bug under? | 05:40 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, my system has a bunch of family members on it through samba, so I wanted to transfer them instead of readding them since linux uses UID numbers per account | 05:40 |
| multipass | lubun2: i have tried it many times, i want to get used to it though. | 05:40 |
| st__ | bullgard4, for typing in japanese crap | 05:40 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, so if I readd them, suddenly if 1002 was curtis before, it could be tyler this time, screwing up perms BIGTIME | 05:40 |
| multipass | lubun2: i am just wondering which is the full package that wont miss anything | 05:41 |
| bullgard4 | st__: Only Japanese? | 05:41 |
| slooksterpsv | ok and your user is still the correct uid | 05:41 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, so I wanted to retain the user vs UID, so I backed them up as was directed by many here. then I jsut imported them via gksudo nautilus on my new install | 05:41 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, should be. I was the first user on both systems. | 05:41 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, what if I just delete my acct and re-add it? | 05:41 |
| st__ | bullgard4, chines, korean etc everything that cannot be done just bu keyboard alone | 05:41 |
| Demerzel_ | evening folks | 05:41 |
| slooksterpsv | that may work, I would just rename your user folder so it doesn't delete it | 05:41 |
| Demerzel_ | anyone here using libpam-mount with gdm on ubuntu? | 05:41 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, I have a backup drive even if it does. Ive been burned enough times already :P | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | st__: What are the additional tools needed beyond a keyboard for this purpose? | 05:42 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted, ok perfect then =P I do the same; so yeah try that, could be something faulty with your user in the passwd file | 05:42 |
| lubun2 | multipass, np..juts thought live cd is best for trying | 05:42 |
| st__ | bullgard4, corresponding IME installed | 05:43 |
| multipass | why does gnome have so much more support vs kde? | 05:43 |
| lubun2 | R136a1, you said it as if apt-get is the problem..shud be command completion | 05:43 |
| Ryen | multipass: It is the default install, it is used more. | 05:43 |
| st__ | is it possible to log in to ubuntu using login on other computer? | 05:43 |
| the1994 | is anyone else having slow downloads through apt-get but other downloads, like in firefox, aren't slow? | 05:43 |
| multipass | is it better at anything in particular? | 05:43 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted: yeah I just tried to add a user to my passwd file and it failed, so I'm going to try and su into the user and change its password | 05:44 |
| bullgard4 | st__: I do not understand. Can you say your last message in other words, please? | 05:44 |
| R136a1 | lubun2, you mean bash-completion package? | 05:45 |
| st__ | bullgard4, you need to install keyboard layout for desired language. but instead of the layout it will install the utility called inpu method editor. it will be used to enter characters from desired language | 05:45 |
| lubun2 | R136a1, yes | 05:45 |
| spridel | i need to disable the proprietary driver... best to do tholace | 05:46 |
| Jinxzs | what is lighter lxde or xfce something | 05:46 |
| bullgard4 | st__: Understood. Thank you very much for your help. | 05:46 |
| st__ | Jinxzs, lxde, but it is unusable crap | 05:47 |
| Roasted_ | slooksterpsv, no dice. | 05:47 |
| Jinxzs | so this is better xfce -xubuntu | 05:48 |

| slooksterpsv | Hi B4ckB0ne | 05:59 |
| whereami | ahhhh, the kernel remounted my root partition read-only... | 05:59 |

| st__ | whereami, run fsck and reboot | 06:00 |
| slooksterpsv | B4ckBOne what version of Ubuntu, what kind of computer? | 06:00 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, the /etc/shadow file needs 640 perms. I had that. I didnt take notice tha my work laptop (10.04 64 bit) was root:shadow, whereas my desktop was root:root. | 06:00 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, when I copied the files over, I was in gksudo nautilus, so it assigned root:root. Doh! | 06:00 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, just chown'd to root:shadow and bingo bango - worked. | 06:00 |
| whereami | st__, I think it's a sata driver issue. the disk is really slow, and I'm seeing errors in dmesg. | 06:01 |

| slooksterpsv | B4ckBOne is it 32-bit or 64-bit? and can you see any wireless networks at all? connect? etc. | 06:01 |
| Roasted | slooksterpsv, its something I should have picked up on, but when I ran ls -l in the /etc dir, EVERYTHING Was root:root EXCEPT shadow. I didnt even notice even tho it should have stuck out. | 06:01 |
| spridel | how do i disable proprietary drivers and the lhelpt and support says i should have a harware selection in admistration and I do not | 06:01 |
| st__ | /etc/shadow should have 000 permissions | 06:01 |
| Roasted | seeing everything root:root made me not even question it. I was so fixed on figuring out is rw-r----- was 640 perms or not :P | 06:01 |
| B4ckBOne | slooksterpsv, 32bit - it has a broadcom chipset and i installed the sta drivers | 06:01 |
| Roasted | no it should have 640 perms | 06:01 |
| Roasted | fresh install has a 640 perm on that file | 06:02 |
| slooksterpsv | Roasted - wow awesome | 06:02 |

| R136a1 | my keyboard doesn't have a Home or End keys, how do i map a key combination to this keys? | 06:21 |
| Doyle | etherealite: boot the system in recovery mode, run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' then follow the instructions | 06:22 |
| rizzuh | R136a1, your keyboard sucks. | 06:22 |
| R136a1 | rizzuh, indeed | 06:22 |
| Doyle | R136a1: spend $10 and get a new one | 06:23 |
| headstrong | $3 is enough | 06:23 |
| R136a1 | Doyle, so there is no alternative? | 06:23 |
| tman482 | R136a1: Use x keybindings or another config. Google it. | 06:24 |
| R136a1 | tman482, thank you very much! | 06:24 |
| R136a1 | :) | 06:24 |
| tman482 | np | 06:24 |
| Doyle | Ah, here's one. Ubuntu doesn't recognize all the keys when 3 or more are pressed at teh same time, is there a fix for this? Multiple keyboards tried. | 06:26 |
| tman482 | Doyle: Context? | 06:26 |
| chalcedony | btw i_is_broke i got it by moving my 2nd mouse around | 06:26 |
| etherealite | Doyle ok, i'm starting up in recovery mode, but I never chome to a run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' screen | 06:26 |
| st__ | reid_ which part of 'no such file or directory' you don't comprehend? | 06:27 |
| einstein_ | hi all | 06:27 |
| Cerebr0 | How would I go about syncing a folder (my music) on my laptop running ubuntu 10.04 to a folder located on an external HD plugged into a desktop running win xp over a wireless network? | 06:27 |
| Doyle | tman482: Say I'm hitting the opening cord for Killers - When You Were Young on expert mode in Frets of fire, it doesn't work with 3 keys pressed at once | 06:27 |
| Doyle | etherealite: chroot /mnt... isn't a screen, it's a command you need to enter | 06:28 |
| tman482 | Doyle: Hmm, honestly not sure how that would work in a gnome setup, but with other wms or plain X you could do per-application keybindings. It might just not be picking up that because it sees no binds. | 06:28 |
| tman482 | Doyle: Might be a quick google away though... ie: gnome keybindings, at least to test. | 06:29 |
| Doyle | tman482: you've given me an idea, maybe there's an existing binding gettin in the way | 06:29 |
| Doyle | tman482: thanks | 06:29 |
| tman482 | Doyle: Aye, that too. Np. | 06:29 |
| etherealite | Doyle Once i boot into rescue mode it gives me te option of "opening" a shell in my root partition, or opening a shell in the installer env and mounting your root partition, which option do i take? | 06:29 |

| shafiq | This is a hardware related question, but just bought a new laptop -- any idea what kind of hardrive it may have. are they typically SATA? | 06:30 |
| etherealite | Doyle, ok, the /mnt dir is empty in this env. What now? | 06:31 |
| Doyle | shafiq: if it's recent, last 6 months or say, it'll be sata, and possibly sata ssd | 06:31 |
| Cerebr0 | It could be stat or ssd | 06:31 |
| Random832 | shafiq: yeah and 2.5" - which i think is a different connector | 06:31 |
| Doyle | etherealite: run the command | 06:31 |
| Cerebr0 | if its large like 500gb I'd say its sata | 06:32 |
| etherealite | Doyle I can't chroot into a dir that doesn't exist. | 06:32 |
| Doyle | laptops use mini sata connectors, recent laptops will all come with 2.5" hard drives, the only question is wethr it's ssd or mechanical | 06:32 |
| shafiq | Doyle , Random832, Cerebr0 : just checked the device manager in Windows and it says ATA --- does that sound right? | 06:32 |
| Doyle | etherealite: ah, i see what you're saying, empty, ok. | 06:33 |
| etherealite | Doyle maybe you ment for me to enter the installer env. | 06:33 |
| NOMADICUS | How can I read hfs+ file system? | 06:33 |
| Cerebr0 | Typically if it is a SSD (solid state drive) it would be small like 80gb - 256 gb | 06:33 |
| Doyle | etherealite: have a look at the /etc/fstab file, whats in there? Use pastebin if you want. pastebin.com | 06:34 |
| jaytea | moderately large channel | 06:34 |
| sweetpi | !info hfsplus | NOMADICUS | 06:35 |
| ubottu | NOMADICUS: hfsplus (source: hfsplus): Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.4-12build3 (lucid), package size 45 kB, installed size 260 kB | 06:35 |
| Cerebr0 | Is anyone here familiar with any software that allows you to sync a folder to back it up like my music folder to a external HD over a network? | 06:35 |
| NOMADICUS | sweetpi: Thanks. | 06:35 |
| tensorpudding | NOMADICUS: There is read capability, but no write | 06:35 |
| NOMADICUS | tensorpudding: Ok. | 06:35 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | hello, how to reset gnome painel? | 06:35 |
| Doyle | Cerebr0: any kind of backup software should be able to do it for you. Install some, play around. | 06:36 |
| tensorpudding | !panelreset | rafaelsoaresbr | 06:36 |
| ubottu | rafaelsoaresbr: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 06:36 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | tensorpudding, thanks | 06:37 |
| Cerebr0 | Ok, the issue i think i may have is that the HD is connected to a XP desktop on the network, I can access the folder and manually back up my music on to it, just looking for software to do it for me when I modify it or add more | 06:37 |
| shafiq | Do you guys think there is a big difference, performance wise, of a 5400rpm versus a 7200rpm SATA laptop hard drive? | 06:38 |
| Doyle | Cerebr0: yea, there's backup software that can do that, just install some, find something that works. It's like trying a bunch of different mp3 players till you find one you like. | 06:38 |
| etherealite | Doyle http://pastie.org/1180615 | 06:38 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | how to edit gnome menus? choose app, etc... | 06:39 |
| NOMADICUS | Is is possible to use dd to clone a hfx+ into an ext3 iso? | 06:39 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: not much difference ... 5400 should be quieter and more power efficient though | 06:39 |
| etherealite | Cerebr0 unison | 06:39 |
| shafiq | Demerzel_: hmm, bc it seems that on a desktop computer, a 7200 is a big difference over a 5400 | 06:40 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: it isn't much of a difference there either imo | 06:41 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: you can always "speed up" 5400 drives by arranging them in a RAID array | 06:41 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: which is why you'll typically find 5400 drives in homegrown NAS setups | 06:41 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: 7200 or higher (10k, 15k) are used mainly for high I/O throughput scenarios e.g. very heavily used database or video processing etc | 06:42 |
| gr8m8 | or desktops | 06:42 |
| etherealite | Doyle you still here? | 06:42 |
| === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy | ||
| Doyle | etherealite: yea, do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and pastebin that also | 06:43 |
| Demerzel_ | gr8m8: a desktop is a high I/O throughput scenario? :-) | 06:43 |
| adzy | Hello, Can anyone help me with mounting issue with addons for VirtualBox! Plz | 06:44 |
| gr8m8 | Demerzel_: all my desktops use 7200 rpm disks | 06:44 |
| Demerzel_ | gr8m8: that doesn't change the fact that by default a desktop isn't a high I/O throughput scenario | 06:45 |
| shafiq | Demerzel_: you need at least two drives to set up RAID, correct? | 06:45 |
| Demerzel_ | gr8m8: if you use your desktop for high I/O applications then that's a different story. Most desktops aren't used for such applications | 06:45 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: yes | 06:45 |
| gr8m8 | Demerzel_: you win I don't care | 06:46 |
| shafiq | Demerzel_: cool, thanks dude. any idea what happend to #hardware ? | 06:46 |
| Demerzel_ | gr8m8: awesome! Where's my medal? | 06:46 |
| gr8m8 | Demerzel_: you'd need a chest first ;] heh | 06:46 |
| Demerzel_ | shafiq: no idea ... i didn't even know it existed, let alone that it's gone | 06:47 |
| etherealite | Doyle fidsk isn't going to help, the volumes are incrypted through luks, and then parsed through LVM. | 06:47 |
| Demerzel_ | gr8m8: sweet! sounds like i win treasure! | 06:47 |
| * Demerzel_ prepares chest | 06:47 | |
| shafiq | Demerzel_: lol cool. late dude | 06:47 |
| etherealite | Doyle I can give you my /dev/mapper output if youd like | 06:47 |
| multipass | how do i set up the login to let me choose KDE or Gnome? | 06:47 |

| rizzuh_ | I installed Ruby 1.9.2-p0 system-wide using RVM on Ubuntu Server 10.04 system-wide. I selected it as default, however running "ruby -v" after a restart still shows 1.8.7. How can I set 1.9.2 as default? | 06:49 |
| === rizzuh_ is now known as rizzu | ||
| === rizzu is now known as rizzuh | ||
| etherealite | Doyle new pastie for you http://pastie.org/1180623 | 06:51 |
| Doyle | etherealite: ok, how about this. If you haven't already run 'sudo apt-get install initrd-tools' then run 'sudo mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic'. You'll want to verify the kernel path and version. Just a 'locate initrd' and it'll spit out about 10 results, one of them will be it. | 06:52 |
| Doyle | etherealite: your comment about the encryption told me what I needed to know. just do the mkinitrd stuff. | 06:54 |
| === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy | ||
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: you installed rvm in /usr/local/rvm? | 06:54 |
| etherealite | Doyle I'm chroot inside my root partition why do i need to apt-get initrd-tools? | 06:55 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, yeah | 06:55 |
| Doyle | etherealite: if you don't have the initrd tools you won't have mkinitrd installed. | 06:55 |
| Takieda | every time I boot, the grub bootloader comes up and shows me a dozen different instances of Ubuntu (slightly different version numbers). Seems to add new instances every time I update the system and it requires a system restart... it now fills the screen... how can I remove the extra old boot options that I really no longer need? | 06:55 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: what's the output of rvm list | 06:56 |
| Cerebr0 | Takieda you can uninstall old ones in the package manager | 06:56 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, ruby-1.9.2-p0 [ x86-64 ] | 06:56 |
| Demerzel_ | Takieda: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 06:56 |
| Demerzel_ | Takieda: and then aptitude purge the older linux-image packages | 06:57 |
| Geoffrey2 | in looking at .xsession-errors, one of the first lines tells me it's setting IM through im-switch, followed by a Start IM message..what is IM? | 06:57 |
| Doyle | Takieda: run 'uname -r' to find the kernel version you're currently using, then us ethe package manager to remove the others. Don't remove hte one you use... | 06:57 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: is there a => next to one of them? | 06:58 |
| etherealite | Doyle is the package initramfs-tools? | 06:58 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: er .. next to 1.9.2 ? | 06:58 |
| adzy | can anyone help with virtualbox guest addons? how do i make it fullscreen | 06:58 |
| adzy | ? | 06:58 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, yes | 06:58 |
| Doyle | etherealite: it may be | 06:58 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: does "which ruby" point to system ruby still? | 06:59 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, yeah, /usr/bin/ruby | 06:59 |
| Doyle | etherealite: no, it's not | 06:59 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, which is 1.8.7 | 07:00 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: what's the output of "type rvm | head -n1" ? | 07:00 |
| etherealite | Doyle cant find a package by that name even after an update. | 07:00 |
| Takieda | thanks Cerebr0, Demerzel_, and Doyle... fixing them no :) | 07:01 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, rvm is hashed (/usr/local/bin/rvm) | 07:01 |
| Takieda | now, rather. | 07:01 |
| Doyle | etherealite: looks like that package is 'outdated' give me a sec | 07:01 |
| Doyle | etherealite: yea, initramfs-tools is the new one | 07:02 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: hmmm i've not used a system-wide rvm install before so i'm not sure where this would go | 07:02 |
| etherealite | yup thats what i got, and update-initramfs ain't workin. | 07:02 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: but you need to ensure rvm is a function by adding the following to the end of your profile | 07:02 |
| etherealite | Doyle /boot is empty | 07:03 |
| dasnbob | any thoughts on adding 32 bit driver not in repositories for a brother printer have 10.04 64bit sys | 07:03 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" | 07:03 |
| Takieda | I'm left with linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic and linux-image-generic. is it safe to get rid of the second one? | 07:03 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, yeah, that's for user-wide install though. | 07:03 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: that's for a local install | 07:03 |
| MTecknology | Are there any light weight alternatives to gnome-power-manager? It seems needlessly fat. Just to install it will take up 47 new packages which include usb and networking libraries | 07:03 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, but rvm works; you'd have needed to add that if rvm wasn't recognized | 07:03 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: i'd check if your /etc/rvmrc seems fine and also ensure you're in the rvm group | 07:03 |
| Doyle | etherealite: if 'ls /boot' doesn't dislpay anything you'll have to install a new kernel | 07:04 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: true | 07:04 |
| Doyle | etherealite: that'll fix your problem | 07:04 |
| Demerzel_ | Takieda: if you're down to those two then don't delete any more | 07:04 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, well /etc/rvmrc only checks if there's a local install and aborts if there is | 07:04 |
| rizzuh | Demerzel_, so the local one runs, not the system-wide | 07:04 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: k | 07:05 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: i'm fresh out of ideas :-) | 07:05 |
| rizzuh | :| | 07:05 |
| etherealite | Doyle can i do this with apt? | 07:05 |
| rizzuh | 1.8.7 would be fine if it wasn't so damn slow :( | 07:05 |
| Demerzel_ | rizzuh: but jan is typically in #rvm if you need answers from the horses mouth | 07:05 |
| Takieda | Demerzel_, thanks muchly :) | 07:05 |
| Takieda | reboot should look a LOT cleaner now :) | 07:05 |
| Doyle | etherealite: yea, I know apt-get used to be able to do it, haven't done it in a while. give me a sec | 07:05 |
| Doyle | etherealite: waht does 'uname -r' spit out? | 07:06 |
| etherealite | Doyle 2.6.32-21-generic | 07:06 |
| Takieda | is there anything apt-get can do that aptitude can't? | 07:06 |

| Doyle | etherealite: ok, we're going to go to install 2.6.32-24-generic if it's available. Do a 'apt-cache search linux-image' it should list linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic | 07:08 |
| st__ | Samba in ubuntu messes up with my login/password so that it rejects by Windows server,,, any ideas why? | 07:09 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy - ok, and you can't get the guest additions to install on that? | 07:09 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, I tried installing addons but nothing happened | 07:09 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, yea | 07:09 |
| Doyle | etherealite: if it does run 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic' if not just pick a nice looking image, or the same as you have now. | 07:09 |

| adzy | slooksterpsv, but i did download some file on my ubuntu drive even tho i installed thru virtual box | 07:10 |

| adzy | slooksterpsv, and i have them mounted on the virtualbox | 07:11 |
| Demerzel_ | dasnbob: see if you can find a ppd file for your printer - that'll let cups recognize your printer. I know brother typically provides ppd files | 07:11 |
| adzy | but dont know what to do | 07:11 |

| dasnbob | Istalled the driver on 64 bit sys on my desktop using command line ..... spoon fed , forgot how | 07:11 |
| Takieda | trolls... what to do. | 07:11 |
| adzy | nope | 07:11 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, nope | 07:12 |
| dasnbob | oh a ppd looking now | 07:12 |
| rusivi | wish he told us why it sux, then we could fix it! | 07:12 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, there is a .iso file on ubuntu drive | 07:12 |
| Doyle | haha | 07:12 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, right you mount the iso in virtualbox while backtrack is running so it mounts the cdrom | 07:12 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, i did that | 07:13 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, are you running VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run or VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run? | 07:13 |
| * fhmdgxs faint | 07:13 | |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, i cant run either cause i cant find those files. | 07:13 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy - oh ok, do this open a terminal and type in: ls /media - what is the output there? | 07:14 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, when i mount it i cant find it in the /media/cdrom/ directory | 07:14 |
| etherealite | Doyle no effect. | 07:14 |
| st__ | rusivi, probably he meant that only redhat actually does something for linux, other distros just wanking around stealing to garb more support pie money | 07:14 |
| Doyle | etherealite: nooooo. Anything in /boot folder? | 07:14 |
| Doyle | etherealite: it did the kernel install right? | 07:14 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, when i ls is shows nothing... thats what i dont get | 07:14 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, it'll have a different name lik VBOXADDITIONS or something like that, if nothing is in /media, do this sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media | 07:14 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, then cd /media && sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run | 07:15 |
| Mba7eth | how can i know how many monitors attached on my GPU ??? Is that possible ? | 07:15 |

| dasnbob | mfc495cw | 07:18 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, it said mount device doesnt exit | 07:18 |

| rusivi | adzy: give me a sec I'll get you direct command line | 07:19 |
| adzy | ok thanks | 07:19 |
| adzy | this is driving me crazy :D | 07:19 |
| slooksterpsv | ahh that's why: adzy, try sudo mount /dev/hdc /media | 07:19 |
| dasnbob | the 465cn is in the extras pkg in the repositories but don't work on the 495cw | 07:19 |

| Eryn_1983_FL | i got nosound out of it.. | 07:20 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | is there some switch i go to throw in the os? | 07:20 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy: df showed the install cd was mounted as /dev/hdc - so yeah that's why we'll do sudo mount /dev/hdc /media - instead of mount /dev/sr0 | 07:20 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | i checked my alsmixer and i didnt see any | 07:20 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only | 07:20 |
| slooksterpsv | rusivi: yes it is lol, Linux hates mounting vbox cdroms | 07:20 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, perfect! | 07:20 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | i wanted to use headphones | 07:20 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, now do cd /media && sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run | 07:21 |

| adzy | slooksterps, WHOOOOOOO its doing something :D | 07:22 |
| slooksterpsv | rusivi - lol | 07:22 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, yay *crossing fingers* | 07:22 |
| adzy | slooksterps, its building now :D thanks guys :D | 07:22 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy - yw =D | 07:22 |
| slooksterpsv | rusivi, maybe you know this, does kvm have guest additions or that or no? | 07:23 |
| adzy | slooksterps, so when its done, do i reboot? then how to i change settings so it will run and proper fullscreen? | 07:23 |
| xscroll | in other words, I have to power off the machine and turn it on again just to boot | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | adzy: if they work right. it should automatically do that. | 07:23 |
| adzy | slooksterps, it worked ... i reboot the vb now :D | 07:23 |
| gr8m8 | xscroll: is it a default install ? | 07:23 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, yes it should tell you to reboot, there's a few different things you can do, under Machine you can have it resize the screen when you resize the window, run fullscreen, or even have it run in "seamless" mode | 07:24 |
| xscroll | gr8m8: yes | 07:24 |
| gr8m8 | xscroll: that's strange then | 07:24 |
| Doyle | etherealite: very strange. do a 'locate linux-image' just for fun | 07:24 |
| gr8m8 | did I spell strange wrong? - looks wrong | 07:25 |
| slooksterpsv | gr8m8 - nope strange is right | 07:25 |
| gr8m8 | thnx slooksterpsv | 07:25 |
| adzy | slooksterps, it worked!!!!!!!!! Thanks heaps guys!!!!!!!!! | 07:25 |

| adzy | slooksterps, I hope i do too :D how do u know that mount command was it in a doc or anything? | 07:26 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv I'll have to check that out, i'm in beta atm for Maverick may give it a go | 07:27 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, nope used df to find where the cdrom was mounted on installation (hdc), and just used that logic to mount it that way | 07:27 |
| etherealite | Doyle looks like it went to nowhere, all i see is /usr/share/doc/linux-iamge-2.6blah-generic | 07:27 |
| xscroll | gr8m8: blah. guess I will just copy the boot files off, format as ext2 | 07:27 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, ubuntu uses /dev/sr0, I've used a distro where it was /dev/cdrom it varies | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | adzy: virtualbox just added teh vbox.iso to a device that needed to be mounted like any other 'real' filesystem. | 07:27 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv: what I like though is the option to go full command line | 07:27 |
| gr8m8 | xscroll: has your system done a filesystem check ? - the full one at 30 boots/ | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | adzy: /dev/cdrom should be a link to /dev/sr0, also /dev/dvd is proberly a link to /dev/sr0 as qwell | 07:27 |
| Doyle | etherealite: can you reinstall? | 07:28 |
| Doyle | etherealite: fresh? | 07:28 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv: one thing I hated about Windows, could not command line half the stuff I thought would be way easier had to play hungry, hungry clicker | 07:28 |
| slooksterpsv | rusivi, I've been learning some of the vbox command line args, which is neat, but I don't think it'd work in a vm server (e.g. Ubuntu server running vms for other computers) | 07:28 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, ok thanks for the tip :) i only had ubuntu for about a week so still getting the hang of it :D | 07:28 |
| slooksterpsv | adzy, Ubuntus great to start, vm some others and see how they work, Fedora is nice, but gstreamer hates me in Fedora | 07:28 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv: you would have to use Oracle's biz class VBox for that kind of stuff | 07:28 |
| Mba7eth | how can i know how many monitors attached on my GPU ??? Is that possible ? | 07:29 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv: or vmware | 07:29 |
| etherealite | Doyle I can, but i'd eventually like to figiure out how to recover from this stuff when i'm running an encrypted root dir. | 07:29 |
| gr8m8 | xscroll: you could try sudo shutdown -rF now to make it do that | 07:29 |
| adzy | slooksterpsv, lol yea ill try a few others soon :D | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Mba7eth: how many conectors does it have ? | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Mba7eth: and whats the chipset? | 07:29 |
| Mba7eth | two | 07:29 |
| slooksterpsv | rusivi, yeah Windows cli sucks, but I know a few commands to do a few things, not very much it's all vbscript and that; well I meant for personal use here at home | 07:29 |
| Mba7eth | nvidia GTX295 | 07:29 |
| rxd1 | can someone point me to squashfs4+lzma support in lucid | 07:30 |
| st__ | rusivi, you can install bash in windows if you prefer it | 07:30 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv: nice, yeah I'm not patient enough to do it the "windows" way, I'd rather just do a google search and blamo got what I want | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Mba7eth: check the nvidia-xconfig command, it proberly has some 'info' about whats connected. | 07:30 |
| etherealite | Doyle ok, i ran update-initramfs and ove got a kernel img in /boot | 07:30 |
| Mba7eth | Dr_Willis, thanks | 07:30 |
| Mba7eth | Dr_Willis, i'll look into it | 07:30 |
| Mba7eth | :) | 07:30 |
| slooksterpsv | st__ uh... I don't like Windows, but that would be cool, I'm so sick of eulas that are so restricting | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Mba7eth: backup your xorg.conf first.. that command likes to change it | 07:30 |
| chiluk | or Mba7eth do System-> Administration -> Nvidia X Server Settings and use that. | 07:31 |
| etherealite | Doyle I've gotten an image in there before but it never works | 07:31 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| rusivi | st_ I do hit the terminal a lot for a ton of things in ubuntu/linux | 07:31 |
| st__ | slooksterpsv, I would sign any eula to get my network working | 07:31 |
| rusivi | st_ I'm not afraid of it at all | 07:31 |
| chiluk | Dr_willis MBa7eth I think the gui is easier to use. | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Mba7eth: nvidia-settings -> X config for the nvidia stuff. nvidia-xconfig a Text based tool for the settings | 07:31 |
| slooksterpsv | st__ mmm... Ubuntu makes my network work better hehe =P | 07:31 |
| rusivi | st_ just don't like the lack of options and easy customization with Windows | 07:31 |
| rusivi | everything is a production | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | chiluk: I imagine he wanted a cli way to remote figure it out.. if he was there at the desktop.. he could look and see the # of monitors plugged in. :) | 07:32 |
| rusivi | Not trying to trash windows, I still use it for a lot of neat things | 07:32 |
| slooksterpsv | rusivi I keep a terminal open just cause I like to do things in terminal, move files, mount images, even surf the net sometimes (using Lynx) | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | rusivi: and those things get fewer and fewer every day. :) | 07:32 |
| chiluk | yeah I guess... or he could be using x forwarding through ssh. | 07:32 |
| Doyle | well, try this... under 'unknown command initrd' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 let me know if it works, but I have doubts | 07:32 |
| Doyle | etherealite: well, try this... under 'unknown command initrd' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 let me know if it works, but I have doubts | 07:32 |
| chiluk | or any number of other things. | 07:32 |
| slooksterpsv | Dr_Willis - true, I've found my cool things to do in ubuntu than Windows, networking, programming, gaming, etc. | 07:33 |
| slooksterpsv | *more not my | 07:33 |
| chiluk | wow this channel is busy tonight. | 07:33 |
| rusivi | Dr_Willis hehe Windows has a lot of catching up to do in terms of bringing easy of customization to the end-user | 07:33 |
| rusivi | easy = ease | 07:33 |
| rocket16 | Me Menu is not supporting Broadcasting. Wen I click "Broadcast", Gwibber doesn't load. | 07:33 |
| st__ | what gcc is better: 3.4, 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4? | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | st__: depends on your needs.. | 07:34 |
| chiluk | bigger # = better ALWAYS! | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gcc2010 :) | 07:34 |
| Doyle | chiluk: that's what I'm thinking, at least until it's followed by _beta | 07:34 |
| rusivi | slooksterpsv yeah I just re-discovered my terminal is a pretty good internet browser :p | 07:34 |
| chiluk | especially when talking about watts! and MHZ and ... | 07:34 |
| slooksterpsv | chiluk - haha so Windows ME was better than 98 cause ME is bigger than 98? lol had to say that | 07:34 |
| chiluk | YES! | 07:34 |
| st__ | slooksterpsv, it was | 07:35 |
| slooksterpsv | chiluk haha | 07:35 |
| rxd1 | linux won't run my autocad, autocivil and 3d max which windows does | 07:35 |
| rocket16 | Gwibber doesn't start from Notification applet or Me Menu. Any solution? | 07:35 |
| chiluk | in all seriousness most gcc's have worked fine for me...and unless you are looking for some specific feature | 07:35 |
| chiluk | just install what installs by default with the gcc packags. | 07:35 |
| st__ | rxd1, blender >> 3dmax | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rxd1: i saw a Professional cad program for linux that just got released last week. | 07:35 |
| slooksterpsv | st__ lol | 07:35 |
| Geoffrey2 | every time Gnome starts up, gconf-sanity-check-2 has a coronary, exiting status, I believe it's 256...anyone know of a solution for this? | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/bricscad-comes-to-linux-cad-comes-of-age | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive not used auto cad in ages - no idea how BrisCad Stacks up | 07:37 |
| Doyle | haha, I LOLed the first time I got the sanity-check error from a computer | 07:37 |
| slooksterpsv | haha my Ubuntu is insane | 07:37 |
| chiluk | Geoffrey2 try searching launchpad | 07:37 |
| chiluk | Geoffrey2 launchpad.net that is .. | 07:37 |
| Nek | Hi all ! | 07:37 |
| slooksterpsv | hi Nek | 07:38 |
| Nek | I have a little problem | 07:38 |
| Nek | =/ | 07:38 |
| Nek | http://pastebin.com/nbJesUrK | 07:38 |
| rxd1 | Bricscad License keys can be purchased for around £365.00 <- this is not linux...linux suppose to be free hehe | 07:38 |
| Nek | Can you help me ? | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rxd1: err.. not really. | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 07:38 |
| chiluk | nek you don't need to sudo when you are already root. | 07:38 |
| Nek | I'm with Dr_Willis (see Mandriva) | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | But My cad needs are minimal.. qcad does what i need | 07:39 |
| chiluk | Nek try gpg -a --export 89DF5277 | apt-key add - | 07:39 |
| rxd1 | Dr_Willis: its good to see i can't get rid of windows soon | 07:39 |
| chiluk | since you are already root. | 07:39 |
| st__ | Dr_Willis, does qcad do dwgs? | 07:39 |
| Doyle | everytime you sudo from root Neo hacks your computer | 07:39 |
| Nek | lol ! thanks chiluk | 07:39 |
| rxd1 | qcad lacks many usefull things in cad | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | rxd1: do what you want. You want to get rid of windows.. but you want to do it for 'free' .. good luck | 07:39 |
| slooksterpsv | sudo as root should still work | 07:39 |
| Nek | I'm sorry for coming with a little probleme like that -_- | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | st__: no idea. I dont need that feature | 07:39 |
| chiluk | nek ... any time. | 07:39 |
| chiluk | unless sudo isn't installed. | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | qcad does what I need... :) your needs are not the same as mine. | 07:40 |
| slooksterpsv | I can remove sudo? lol | 07:40 |
| slooksterpsv | Dr_Willis not necessarily they could be :P | 07:40 |
| chiluk | it doesn't exist on many embedded distros. | 07:40 |
| chiluk | I don't quite know what he's running' | 07:40 |
| st__ | slooksterpsv, yes, but don't forget to enable root acc first | 07:40 |
| slooksterpsv | chiluk st__ :O | 07:40 |
| slooksterpsv | ok will do =P | 07:40 |
| rxd1 | autocad in not merely drafting or drawing, it has its programming side like lisp with bricscad hope i can be done by shell scripting | 07:41 |
| chiluk | or sudo might just not be in his path.. | 07:41 |
| dasnbob | Demerezel see you have returned ...any news on the printer prb? | 07:41 |
| KayAteChef | I just updated ubuntu and now X and sound are fiddled up D; | 07:41 |
| st__ | plus, qcad is QT app! | 07:41 |
| slooksterpsv | KayAteChef - how so? | 07:41 |
| chiluk | so anyone know how to make empathy not tell me when people connect and disconnect? I haven't decided if I'll keep empathy for irc yet... | 07:41 |
| KayAteChef | no sound | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | st__: so... | 07:42 |
| KayAteChef | and display settings are wrong | 07:42 |
| st__ | so it will have several hundreds of megabytes of dependencies... | 07:42 |
| slooksterpsv | KayAteChef, what kind of computer? sound card? video card? Ubuntu version? 32-bit or 64-bit? lol | 07:42 |
| quietone | how do I ensure my cron job starts at 2am when daylights savings starts tomorrow morning at 2am? | 07:42 |
| chiluk | quietone compromise with 2:01 am? | 07:43 |
| chiluk | oh man do we gain or lose time? | 07:43 |
| Doyle | etherealite: I'm out, good luck. Msg me if you find a solution. | 07:43 |
| etherealite | Doyle will do thanx! | 07:43 |
| shayne | doyle : sorry i had to run some people home. do you know what i have to do to get the phone working as mass storage unit? | 07:43 |
| quietone | chiluk, there won't be a 2:01! we will be springing ahead. 2am -> 3am. | 07:44 |
| chiluk | 1:59 then! | 07:44 |
| st__ | shayne, usually you just plug it in and use as flash media | 07:44 |
| chiluk | yuck I need to get to sleep then. | 07:44 |
| slooksterpsv | where is daylight savings time happening at? I don't think ours is until nov. (u.s.) | 07:45 |
| quietone | chiluk, yes, 1:59 would work. Are there solutions so that I don't have to tweak crontab twice a yr. | 07:45 |
| shayne | st__ it used to work as that but know it does not show up anywhere, as soon as i updated the ubuntu it just stopped working | 07:45 |
| * Acido- is away, unf [l/][p/] | 07:45 | |
| Dr_Willis | !dst | 07:45 |
| rww | quietone: cron contains special coding to deal with daylight saving time. Search for "daylight" on http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man8/cron.8.html (or on man cron) | 07:46 |
| quietone | slooksterpsv, Aotearoa/New Zealand | 07:46 |
| rww | !away > Acido- | 07:46 |
| ubottu | Acido-, please see my private message | 07:46 |
| slooksterpsv | oh ok thanks quietone | 07:46 |
| rww | quietone: basically, if you're skipping from 2am to 3am, anything that would have been run in that hour is run shortly after the time change. | 07:46 |
| * slooksterpsv waves hi to everyone. =D | 07:47 | |
| Random832 | rww: if you set someone to run every hour, does it run it twice at 3 [and not at all at the 2/2 the other end of the year], or does it just do it hourly? | 07:48 |
| thune3 | quietone: the cron manpage clearly explains how "time changes" are handled. setting a cron @ 2am will run @3am (in the spring forward case). | 07:48 |
| rww | slooksterpsv: Yes, US is in November. Congress screwed around with our DST dates to make them even further from everyone else's :\ | 07:48 |
| Random832 | *something | 07:48 |
| slooksterpsv | rww oic | 07:48 |
| dasnbob | wouldn't set the clock to synch with public clocks during install take care of Daylight savings switches | 07:49 |
| rww | Random832: See the manpage. If it's set to run at a specific time once a day, it'll be run at 3. If it uses wildcards, it'll be run the next time it would normally be run. | 07:49 |
| Random832 | ah | 07:49 |
| Random832 | what is "@hourly"? - the manpage talks about this but makes no other references to @stuff | 07:49 |
| rww | dasnbob: Due to the way that ntp and Linux handle time, that isn't an issue. Syncing will not cause problems. | 07:49 |
| rww | Random832: It's the same as 1 * * ... * commandhere. The wikipedia page on cron has a nice table. | 07:50 |
| dasnbob | still haven't installed the .386 drivers for my printer on a 64 bit sys ..... | 07:50 |
| rww | Random832: sorry, 0, not 1 | 07:50 |
| KayAteChef | slooksterpsv: I was trying to pastebin the details and I ran apt-get install pastebinit but had to do sudo dpkg --configure -a | 07:50 |
| KayAteChef | and now it is configuring everything under the sun | 07:50 |
| KayAteChef | holy snapping crocodiles | 07:50 |
| p1oooop | hey | 07:50 |
| quietone | thune3, yes, I should have read the man page first. | 07:51 |
| p1oooop | do they ubuntu repos. have NAIM? | 07:51 |
| slooksterpsv | KateAteChef lol | 07:51 |
| apctr | hello friends, there is any tool in ubuntu which can be used foe multimedia editing,mixing and other features | 07:51 |
| rxd1 | yeah bricscad can load lsp file ....:) | 07:51 |
| etherealite | join #irssi | 07:51 |
| gdb | Random832: You may be reading the wrong man page. Read this one $ man 5 crontab | 07:51 |
| p1oooop | apctr: I'm sure there is... | 07:51 |
| p1oooop | etherealite: I'm using IRSSI... | 07:51 |
| p1oooop | does it have a plugin for AIM? | 07:51 |
| slooksterpsv | apctr - music, video or both? or other? | 07:51 |
| etherealite | p1oooop FTW! | 07:51 |
| rww | !bitlbee | p1oooop | 07:51 |
| rww | ... what. I swear ubottu had a bitlbee factoid o.O | 07:52 |
| p1oooop | also, how do I disable alt + "arrow key" TTY switching? | 07:52 |
| apctr | slooksterpsv: all kind of multimedia content..image,animation,audio,video a...... | 07:52 |
| Random832 | ah | 07:52 |
| KayAteChef | http://pastebin.com/PHiLLKdQ | 07:52 |
| etherealite | p1oooop you know how I can make it so that i get a notification when my friends are on this server? | 07:52 |
| Random832 | thnks gdb | 07:52 |
| p1oooop | etherealite: hmmmmm...... nope. | 07:52 |
| apctr | p1oooop: can u provide me some info abour it | 07:52 |
| gdb | Random832: Sure thing! The default is crontab(1) which is the user command, while crontab(5) contains the crontab file format. :) | 07:52 |
| slooksterpsv | apctr - there's tons, mixxx is good for audio, kdenlive is good for video, gimp and xara are good for graphics | 07:52 |
| p1oooop | apctr: sorry, I haven't been on ubuntu for a long time :P | 07:53 |
| p1oooop | I'm going to hardcore terminal ;) | 07:53 |
| apctr | slooksterpsv: Is there any package like flash cs4....where we can code about multimedia feature.... | 07:54 |
| slooksterpsv | KayAteChef ok gimme a sec to look through this lol | 07:54 |
| p1oooop | etherealite: I think supybot can do something about that... make a python script that interfaces with a music player | 07:54 |
| etherealite | p1oooop hmm, should I just script a standalone python bot, meaning not integrated into IRSII? Cuz IRSSI is all perl and perl is all suck | 07:55 |
| Syria | How can i shutdown the computer using terminal? | 07:55 |
| etherealite | Syria sudo shutdown | 07:55 |
| KayAteChef | or sudo telinit 0 | 07:55 |
| Syria | etherealite: Try `shutdown --help' for more information. | 07:56 |
| p1oooop | etherealite: hehe, perl | 07:56 |
| p1oooop | :P | 07:56 |
| p1oooop | perl = WTF is this!!! | 07:56 |
| p1oooop | PHP = WTF IS THIS STUFF!!!! perl + C++? | 07:56 |
| p1oooop | C++ = wow, this is hardcore | 07:57 |
| gr8m8 | man nice could be clearer - if I add nice -n 10 in front of a command that should make it back off if I open another app? | 07:57 |
| slooksterpsv | KayAteChef - did you upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| p1oooop | C = damn hardcore, ASM = HARDCORE PROGRAMMING TO THE MAX! | 07:57 |
| rww | !ot | 07:57 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:57 |
| rww | !wtf | 07:57 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:57 |
| etherealite | p1oooop Perl is an text extraction language, emphasis on extraction. Everything else is gross. | 07:57 |
| KayAteChef | slooksterpsv: nope | 07:57 |
| p1oooop | rww: sorry. | 07:57 |
| dynemo | I was helping someone out and I had temporarily installed ubuntu on their system. Now he wants Win XP, but since it was an ext4 file system I used the boot disk to format the mounted drives into NTFS, but I screwed up. I told it to designate it as empty (0x00) and that process hung for an hour or so before I shut it down. Now it's unbootable. What should I do sensei?. | 07:57 |
| p1oooop | dynemo: use the disk, luke! | 07:58 |
| gr8m8 | dynemo: use the xp disk to set the partition to ntfs maybe | 07:58 |
| slooksterpsv | KayAteChef - do you have pulseaudio installed? | 07:58 |
| KayAteChef | yes slooksterpsv I reckon I do | 07:59 |
| p1oooop | gr8m8: that works LOL! | 07:59 |
| dynemo | ploop: Can't it says no native filesystem | 07:59 |
| slooksterpsv | KayAteChef - open a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol | 07:59 |
| p1oooop | dynemo: what about the ubuntu disk? | 07:59 |
| p1oooop | did you rip out the disk drive or something? | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: sounds like the pc is not booting from the optical drive | 08:00 |
| dynemo | ploop: I put in the ubuntu disk and after waiting for a looong time and right now it shows initramfs | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: or its having issues reading the disks. | 08:00 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: It is | 08:00 |
| dynemo | Nope | 08:00 |
| dynemo | I am running the ubuntu live disk right now | 08:00 |
| p1oooop | dynemo: 0.o | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: check the 'sudo fdisk -l' partitioning layout. and see what the disk partitions are.. delete them all.. boot windows disk.. let it remake them | 08:00 |
| dynemo | and it isn't showing a native filesystem hence the installer won't work it has instead put me on the initramfs | 08:00 |
| dynemo | not found | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: sounds more and more like you are having some hardware issues... whats 'not found' ? | 08:01 |
| thune3 | gr8m8: right, nice value is a measure of how yeilding it is (positive nice is lower priority). I've grown fond of "chrt -i 0 command" to set some tasks to idle priority, where they only get spare cycles. | 08:01 |
| dynemo | Like I said I told it to overwrite the file system to empty | 08:01 |
| scriptwarlock | anyone knows how to deal with low graphic in lucid? can't login to gdm | 08:01 |
| dynemo | and I screwed up the process | 08:01 |
| p1oooop | etherealite: I guess that's why it was used as the first "php" | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: it should not matter.. the windows install disks can repartition a totally empty/blank/unpartioned disk. Or should be able to at least. | 08:02 |
| dynemo | There are no other hardware issues as I fixed the system fromma keyboard error and checked it. | 08:02 |
| gr8m8 | thune3: thnx :] | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: are these windows 'recovery' disks? or actual windows 'disks' | 08:02 |
| dynemo | The windows installer hangs | 08:02 |
| dynemo | Actual disks | 08:02 |
| dynemo | I know I am dumb but I ain't that dumb | 08:02 |
| gr8m8 | so the mbr is borked | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: fdisk -l says what exactly? disk not found? | 08:03 |
| Syria | i have installed a new plymouth theme, how can i restore the original one? | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: you could 'zero' the drive with dd. but thats a bit extreme | 08:03 |
| dynemo | /bin/sh: sudo : not found | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: dont use sudo then. :) | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | you are root allready | 08:03 |
| etherealite | p1oooop Well, sadly it rocked php for a long time as a programming language, PHP Sucked BIG TIME until recently when now it just plain sucks. | 08:03 |
| dynemo | I have backed up the data by the way | 08:03 |
| rxd1 | he's on busybox | 08:04 |
| dynemo | I was helping someone out and I had temporarily installed ubuntu on their system. Now he wants Win XP, but since it was an ext4 file system I used the boot disk to format the mounted drives into NTFS, but I screwed up. I told it to designate it as empty (0x00) and that process hung for an hour or so before I shut it down. Now it's unbootable. Will super grub solve this? | 08:04 |
| dynemo | Thank you. and zeroing the drive ain't an issue | 08:04 |
| dynemo | Sorry about that | 08:04 |
| scriptwarlock | anyone knows how to deal with low graphic in lucid? can't login to gdm | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: ive used dd to zero disks and windows has seen/partitoned/formated them just fine. | 08:04 |

| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: and your video card/chipset is? | 08:05 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: I have backed up the data and it's okay. The problem with me is that I have partially zeroed it | 08:05 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: intel i965 | 08:05 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: built-in | 08:05 |
| Jordan_U | dynemo: Why do you want to zero the drive? | 08:05 |
| gdb | dynemo: $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | 08:05 |
| st__ | dynemo, just boot from xp disk and recreate partitions | 08:05 |
| apctr | hello friends, there is any tool in ubuntu which can be used foe multimedia editing,mixing and other features | 08:06 |
| gdb | dynemo: If that's what you're looking to do (blow away the partition information). | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: shouldent matter. let it zero for 10 sec.. or a few min.. | 08:06 |

| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: you may want t check the forums. Ive no expreience with that intel card. if you have a existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf you may want to rename it. so X can try to use the defaults | 08:07 |
| apctr | st__: can you help me?? | 08:07 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: found no xorg.conf in lucid | 08:07 |

| st__ | apctr, no | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: ive no other ideas then. some Intel video cards got issues.... | 08:08 |

| KayAteChef | ok slooksterpsv we have sound | 08:09 |
| i_is_broke | scriptwarlock: you might try the i810 video driver. thats what i had to do with my i945gz | 08:09 |
| slooksterpsv | KateAteChef - Woot! that's good =D | 08:10 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: you mean downgrade? | 08:10 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: i mean install that one? | 08:10 |
| === jillsmitt_ is now known as jillsmitt | ||
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: try i_is_broke :) not me.. :) i have no intel stuff any more. | 08:10 |
| i_is_broke | or can you still do that now with the no xorg.conf giles | 08:10 |
| i_is_broke | oops files | 08:11 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: heheh no problem ill find a way for this | 08:11 |
| gr8m8 | scriptwarlock: have you read the X log? | 08:11 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: yeah and its kinda weird after some updates | 08:11 |

| slooksterpsv | I'm 5 for 7 of helping fix issues =D not bad imo | 08:11 |
| blakkheim | dasnbob: cd | 08:12 |

| uncle_ben | i need to install an ati rage 128 card on an older box...which driver should i choose between r128-dri and the xf86-video-r128? | 08:12 |
| quietone | How to I get a beep via bash? echo -e "\a" isn't working. | 08:12 |
| st__ | are xf86-* | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | quietone: enable the pcspkr module. its blacklisted by default | 08:13 |
| st__ | still in ubuntu? | 08:13 |
| slooksterpsv | uh... I just got a popup | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | quietone: or perhaps try the 'beep' command. | 08:13 |
| dasnbob | ok so for desktop it would be cd/desktop ? | 08:13 |
| slooksterpsv | dasnbob cd /Desktop | 08:13 |
| dasnbob | thank you :) | 08:14 |
| slooksterpsv | dasnbob type in ls to list all files and directories, ls | 08:14 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: i saw here lucid is using fbdev | 08:14 |
| slooksterpsv | *all visible lol ls -a shows all files and directories | 08:14 |
| ElPasmo | Hi all, I'm having problems with audio in Ubuntu, although my audio system it's correct (I tried in Windows and it was working before upgrading Ubuntu) now it's not recognized. Here is my system report: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4e90bd4282b4e210de4b7f227cd970662e62354c | 08:14 |
| multipass | blakkheim: movie player? | 08:14 |
| Jordan_U | quietone: That's more complicated than it should be at the moment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/486154 | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | quietone: there was a bug ages ago in X that also made that not work. | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: fbdev is used by the console for purty looks.. but not by X last i checked. | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | quietone: Easiest option is to disable compiz and use metacity instead, less invasive option is to unblacklist pcspkr and use the "beep" command. | 08:15 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - try this, press ALT+F2 and type in gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 08:15 |
| dasnbob | isn't working ....hmmm | 08:15 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - then type in the following at the very end (on it's own new line): options snd-hda-intel model=auto | 08:16 |
| slooksterpsv | save and see if that works | 08:16 |
| blakkheim | multipass: yes it is | 08:16 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - save then reboot and let us know if that worked - sorry | 08:16 |
| multipass | cool thx | 08:16 |
| slooksterpsv | dasnbob - cd Desktop | 08:16 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: got really hard time for this low graphic mode with intel... np for nvidia | 08:17 |

| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: try a meercat live cd and see. | 08:18 |
| dasnbob | hmmm pkg is on desktop and getting mssg can not find | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: Well, they outsourced the hardware work also. Which is why they couldn't write proper drivers themselves ("trade secrets"). | 08:18 |
| deryl | hah had to check for a second. started typing out the ban for him and realized that I'm on the freenode channel not mine on efnet | 08:18 |
| slooksterpsv | dasnbob what package? is it .deb, .tar.gz, .sh, .run, other | 08:18 |

| batshwa | hi, everybody. i am planning to clean-install the up-to-date ubuntu over ubuntu 8.04 on a dual-boot machine (having now xp and ubuntu). is there any danger of messing up grub after a clean install? | 08:18 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: yeah.. but for a mooment i'll just use this kind of account "root" wew too scary | 08:19 |
| dasnbob | try to install a 32 bit printer driver pkg on a 64 bit sys 10.04 | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | batshwa: Not really. | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: you can login to the console and use 'startx' as a normal user. see if the res changes on the desktop | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: it could be some odd quirk that GDM is using the wrong res | 08:19 |
| quietone | Dr_Willis, Jordan_U, thx. | 08:19 |
| slooksterpsv | dasnbob what kind of file is it? an archive a deb file other??? | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | quietone: You're welcome. | 08:19 |
| batshwa | Jordan_U: so i will not have to configure it by hand or something like that? | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: go to console. 'sudo service gdm stop' 'startx' | 08:19 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis : The windows disk isn't booting | 08:20 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: yeah thats the suspect i guess thats why cant login to normal user it just flicker and then display low grph | 08:20 |

| slooksterpsv | dasnbob - type in sudo dpkg -i ./mfc495<tab key> | 08:22 |

| slooksterpsv | elpasmo ok let's see... | 08:22 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis : I know the master boot record, but it isn't working on either of the two. | 08:22 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis : It's bizarre what I've done. | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: sounds like there deeper issues going on.. could be some boot record protection in the bios also. | 08:23 |
| Gandalf | also my home folder is encrypted, is this going to cause any extra problems? | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: if you used dd to zero the drive.. anything you have done has been undone. | 08:23 |
| st__ | uncle_ben, those are components of the same thing | 08:23 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: In the past few days I had installed Ubuntu on the system twice (the keyboard had shorted out and I was trying to learn stuff) | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: unless theres some MBR feature in th bios that is stopping the dd from working properly | 08:24 |
| dynemo | Dr_WIllis: I don't know how to dd | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: we mentioned it earluier.. 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2048' or similer command... | 08:24 |
| slooksterpsv | elpasmo what does cat /proc/asound/version | 08:24 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: As far as I know it's not possible for the BIOS to prevent access to a drive. | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | writes all zeros to the HD.. | 08:24 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: no luck just flickers.. can i create another user and delete the login normal acount? using this root account | 08:24 |
| slooksterpsv | *output so type in a terminal: cat /proc/asound/version | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Jordan_U: ive seen some sort of Bios AV protextion in the past that can goof things up. buti always make sure its off. | 08:25 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis : Okay this is getting bizarre the windows setup screen just came up after I did a reboot | 08:25 |

| elpasmo | Compiled on Aug 18 2010 for kernel 2.6.32-24-generic-pae (SMP). | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: you can make a new user. no need to delete the other. | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: its very likely NOT a 'user' setting issue | 08:25 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: I tried that. It have an error | 08:25 |
| slooksterpsv | elpasmo are you trying to do hdmi audio or regular? | 08:25 |
| dasnbob | need to force install somehow | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: if it boots sometimes, and not others.. well.. thats signs of deeper problems. May want to open the case/check all wires and clean the disks/dust out the drives | 08:26 |
| dasnbob | package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) | 08:26 |
| elpasmo | slooksterpsv: mmm I'm just trying any of them... | 08:26 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: yeah but the problem is when booting it loads the normal user even it was set to not have a login password | 08:26 |
| slooksterpsv | dasnbob - sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i ./mfc<tab> | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: go to the console, 'sudo service gdm stop' | 08:26 |
| elpasmo | slooksterpsv: But I really didn't understand your question... | 08:26 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: and then? | 08:26 |
| slooksterpsv | elpasmo, hdmi or 3.5mm jack lol | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: make a new user 'sudo adduser billgates' , logout, login as 'billgates' and try 'startx' then | 08:27 |
| slooksterpsv | elpasmo or integrated speakers | 08:27 |
| elpasmo | USB headphones | 08:27 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: the interesting thing is that I was pressing [enter] whenever I encountered the windows, boot from CD screen. This time I pressed the arrow keys. It worked. | 08:27 |
| Gandalf | Hi again, when i try and chroot in, i get "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt | 08:27 |
| dasnbob | thank you :) | 08:27 |
| Gandalf | chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error | 08:27 |
| Gandalf | " | 08:27 |
| elpasmo | slooksterpsv: anyway, sound preferences doesn't recognize any soundcard... so I think there is no way any of them could work right now | 08:27 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: room number? | 08:28 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: hek billgates wont give his room number | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: 'think' :) dont just follow what people blindly say... | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: hit enter a dozen times.. | 08:28 |

| Dr_Willis | dynemo: You got flakey hardware.. would be my #1 bet. | 08:34 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: Yes it is. I came home and my wife told me that maybe she did something to the computer. She opened my secondary drive and went to a directory and right clicked on the movie and opened it with VLC. She had checked the "remember" option when she opened with VLC. But I don't know how that would have caused this problem. | 08:34 |

| st__ | it's called smbfs or like | 08:35 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: any ideas? | 08:35 |
| Cerebr0 | I'm new to this whole Evolution IRC chat earlier I used it and seen a list of everyone in the chat room on the right hand side, now I don't see it any ideas? | 08:36 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: Maybe I've got a flaky human.... :) Thank you for helping me out | 08:36 |
| dpac_ | Dr_Willis: True. | 08:36 |
| antIP | dpac - Dr_Willis: something is clearly wrong with Nautilus, can I just restart it? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: she prioberluy right clicked on the directory and used open with.. and vlc rembereed that. | 08:36 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: Can I ask you something? How can I master system level stuff? | 08:36 |
| dpac_ | antIP: right clicking a folder doesn't work either?? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: killall nautilus then 'nautilus' | 08:36 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: Yeah, that's what I figured, but she claims she didn't. Either way, how can I fix it? | 08:37 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: oh, thanks. | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: read, read, read.. any books you find.. any articals you find.. hit the bargin bins at teh bookstores for admin and other type books.. | 08:37 |
| st__ | so much for "mime types" and other hype | 08:37 |
| dpac_ | antIP: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936044 | 08:37 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: Hm. Do you know python by the way? | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: i rarely use python. | 08:37 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: Ah. What do you code in? | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I rarely code more then a few bash scripts, or a few perl things | 08:38 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: Why not? Don't you enjoy it? | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: you shoudl be able to set folders to defauklt to opening with natilus, or i think the new version of 'ubuntu-tweak' has a nice gui way to reset all the gnome settings back to defaults | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: if you dont have a need... why should i? | 08:39 |
| miststlkr | st__: Thanks, got me on the direction.. I noticed that smbfs wasn't installed. I did that and changed the fstab to use the IP address rather than the resolved hostname and it works that way... it's a start, and with static IPs set, I suppose it should work just fine | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: I code what i need to do.. to get done what i need to do. | 08:40 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: the world doesn't need books and paintings either, does it? | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: you just stated that you needed books to learn to code.. so aparenatly YOU need books. | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a large enough collection of books that i havent needed to buy any in some time. | 08:40 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: No what I meant was books like Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain or gabriel gracia marquez | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a collectionof scripts ive made over teh years that do all i need. | 08:41 |
| antIP | dpac: Here's the problem with those instructions. They say to right click in Nautilus and select Properties, and then click on the "open with..." tab. But there is no "open with..." tab in properties in nautilus. | 08:41 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: Well there's you're problem. If all you use is shell and perl it's no wonder you never code for fun ;) | 08:41 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo you here? | 08:41 |
| ElPasmo | Welcome back slooksterpsv I'm still following the guide you gave me | 08:41 |
| slooksterpsv | whats the link to that again - ElPasmo - and how far are you? | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Jordan_U: the most compelx coding i did this year was making a nautilus script to let me right click on an AVI -> and convert it to .3gpp :) | 08:41 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: what I meant was getting back that old joy of making something that works. Why don't you make something beautiful? Art? | 08:41 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound and I'm rebooting right now for compiling OSS4 from source https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound#Building%20from%20Source | 08:42 |
| Dr_Willis | dynemo: i have my collection of Icons i play with. | 08:42 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo, why from source? | 08:42 |
| dpac_ | antIP: Just right click a folder and you'll see open with application. Click that. | 08:42 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: I'm in ubuntu-tweak. How would I ga about reseting all the the gnome settings backs to defaults? | 08:42 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo, lol they had debs instead of compiling from source =P | 08:42 |
| grigoriades | does anybody know how to find the new installed applications? | 08:42 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: look in its features.. I saw somthing about resetting them in there | 08:42 |
| === steve__ is now known as subied | ||
| miststlkr | Dr_Willis: st__: thanks for the help; this is working at the moment: "//192.168.1.**/videos /home/miststlkr/Videos/htpc smbfs username=****,password=**** 0 0 " | 08:43 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: dunno, ok, i'll try the debs | 08:43 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - 32-bit or 64-bit? and we'll need to go into terminal to install the deb | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: theres a filetype manager feature also. i notice. (rarely used that) | 08:43 |
| dpac_ | antIP: You'll see 'File Browser ' in the list of application you can open the folder with. Select that, click on remember this application | 08:43 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: 32 | 08:43 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: But I have to reboot I think | 08:44 |
| antIP | dpac: Yes, that makes sense, but I can't find nautilus in the list of apps to open with. Another issue is that that will only change the open with settings for directories. How will I go about changing the open with settints for media? | 08:44 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - you will before we can install OSS | 08:44 |
| dynemo | Dr_Willis: What do you mean by that? | 08:44 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: I have the deb ready: oss-linux-4.2-2003_i386 So, now I'll reboot, won't I? | 08:44 |
| dpac_ | antIP: You mean all the files open with VLC, even the documents? | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: under Filetype manager - my 'folder' is set to use 'open folder' | 08:44 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - yeah, then we'll install the deb, reboot again and test | 08:45 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: I'm sorry, Ubuntu tweak doesn't seem to handle File Types like directories or media, it only seems to handle Audio, Test, Images, Video, and Applications. | 08:45 |
| antIP | dpac: Only directories and Media open in VLC | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: you may need a newer verison of Ubuntu-tweak | 08:46 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: In installed this version like 4 days ago. | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.6 | 08:46 |
| ElPasmo | Hi slooksterpsv, I'm installing right now the deb | 08:46 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo yay! =D | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: theres the stable and 'testing' versions | 08:46 |
| dpac_ | antIP: Do the same for media. | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: mine definatly has a feature to reset the gnome settings.. and a filetype manager | 08:47 |
| === pins is now known as pinpoint | ||
| antIP | Dr_Willis: If I open Nautilus through the terminal the GUI works fine - everything opens as it should. BUT, if I go to the start menu > places > media, or directory it opens with VLC | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | filetype manager -> all -> folder. -----> open folder | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: yes.. sounds like the 'folder' default app is set to 'vlc' not 'open folder' | 08:48 |
| ElPasmo | It's installed, should I proceed with the "Configuring Applications to Use OSS" section or should I test it before slooksterpsv ? | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: i can also 'shift right click on a folder' -> open with -> from the list. select 'open folder' | 08:48 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis I installed whatever was in the Synaptic Package Manager. | 08:49 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - test first | 08:49 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: I don't have a "folder" option in Ubuntu Tweak under File Type Manager. | 08:49 |
| ElPasmo | Sound recorder failed... the error tell me that maybe I lack required plugins (I'm translating from spanish) | 08:50 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: Sound recorder failed... the error tell me that maybe I lack required plugins (I'm translating from spanish) | 08:50 |
| nimrod10 | !openvpn | 08:50 |
| ubottu | OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: then either try the other way i just mentined.. or explore ubuntu tweak some more. Its definatly in there. | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: but your versiion may be old compared to mine | 08:50 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - ok lets try to configure the applications section now | 08:50 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: I'm sorry, I found Folder it was under the "Everything" option. | 08:51 |
| AnxiousNut | how do i return to a precess from the command line using precess id number? | 08:51 |
| grigoriades | ειναι κανεις ελληνας εδω? | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: thats why i mentioned the 'all' thing earlier. :) | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | filetype manager -> all -> folder. -----> open folder | 08:51 |
| gr8m8 | grigoriades: english pls :] | 08:51 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: Oh, I'm sorry. The channel is moving to fast, and I've got both of you guys talking with me so I missed it. | 08:52 |
| grigoriades | ok sorry | 08:52 |

| antIP | Dr_Willis: It looks like Mount Point is also set to VLC | 08:52 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: When I try gstreamer-properties the test button doesn't do ·"$%"·% :( | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: its open folder here... also :) | 08:53 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - ok lets revert back, here's an easier guide | 08:53 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo: down at the bottom: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-oss4-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-for-better-sound-quality.html | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: you can sort by 'asscited application' and see what all vlc is set to... | 08:53 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: I'm on it, and by the way, thanks a lot :) | 08:53 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: What is strange is that when I clicked on "Edit" to edit what Mount Point is associated with it was set to Folder, not VLC. I had to set it to VLC and then set it back again before it would take. | 08:53 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - you're welcome... hmmmm | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc is set to be the default for 'avi' and 'wmv' here. thats all | 08:54 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: wait, I don't have ~/.asoundrc It was an optional step in the previous guide... maybe that's the problem? | 08:55 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo you create it, but if we're not hearing anything we'll cancel/skip | 08:55 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: All of the File Types associated with VLC are NOT acciated with VLC when I hit "Edit". They're all set as "Folder". I have to set them to VLC and then set them back to "Folder" to make them associate with folder. Isn't that strange. This is clearly a bug. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a bug with Ubuntu Tweak. | 08:55 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: ok I'll try to create it right now, give me a sec | 08:55 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: What is AFP Server, and FTP Server supposed to open with? "Folder"? That's what they were set to. The only two options i have are Folder and VLC | 08:56 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: I'll reboot, brb | 08:57 |
| dpac_ | antIP: Your system seems messed up. Somehow use this system for 15 days and clean install maverick | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: all set to folder here.. | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: i have a whole 2 items set to vlc.. | 08:57 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: All of the other associates seem to be correct.\ | 08:57 |
| === mue__ is now known as mue | ||
| Dr_Willis | antIP: log out/back in and see if they work.. theres other ways to totally 'reset' the gnome settings also. | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: this Ubuntu-tweak has a 'desktop recovery' option on the left. that seems to have the feature | 08:58 |
| seestern | !hallo | 08:58 |
| antIP | dpac: Dr_Willis: Thanks for checking that for me. I want to make sure that they open to the correct application. | 08:58 |

| zeigmir | Hallo Welt! | 08:59 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: no joy, I'm reversing back | 08:59 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - dang :( | 08:59 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: Yeah, Desktop Recover doesn't have a back up yet, so I don't think it would do me any good. Maybe I should do a back up. | 08:59 |

| seestern | .hallo | 09:00 |
| zeigmir | Hallo Welt! | 09:00 |
| AnxiousNut | is there a command that works like Ctrl+Z in the command line? | 09:00 |
| gr8m8 | AnxiousNut: like undo? | 09:01 |
| gr8m8 | nope | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: she told folders to open with vlc. :) Ive wanted vlc to do that befor.. so ive done the exact same thing. | 09:01 |
| AnxiousNut | gr8m8, In the command line Ctrl+Z makes the process works in the background, like when adding an '&' at the end of a command | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: the DesktopRecvery feature here.. definatly has a 'backup' feaure. or it can reset back to defaults. or one of your backups | 09:02 |
| bazhang | seestern, remove it now please | 09:02 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: I notice that .ISO doesn't have an association option in Ubuntu Tweak. That's what my wife was opening - and ISO. | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: show her how she can drag/drop a file onto the vlc window to play it. :) | 09:02 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: Yes, it has a back up feature, but I haven't used it yet. | 09:02 |
| gr8m8 | AnxiousNut: so you are asking if there is something like & ? | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | antIP: then you can use it to reset back to defaults... | 09:02 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: Yes, I'll have to do that. Thanks. | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | I just toyed with it.. and reset my desktop back to defaults..... Doh.. :) | 09:03 |
| AnxiousNut | gr8m8, & is written before the command gets executed, ctrl+z works while the command is being executed! | 09:03 |
| antIP | Dr_Willis: I just changed most of the video formats to associate with VLC. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. that 'reset' feature of Ubuntu-tweak is handy. | 09:04 |
| seestern | .hallo | 09:04 |
| bazhang | seestern, ? | 09:04 |
| rww | yay unsupported third-party programs. what could go wrong. | 09:04 |
| gr8m8 | kick 'em | 09:04 |
| bazhang | seestern, have a support question? | 09:04 |
| kmyst | hi i was wondering if anybody might be able to help with a wireless issue on 10.04...everything works great but wireless recently quit working correctly...it drops connection in a few minute of bootup...this doesn't happen if i use a backup from 3 months ago | 09:05 |

| gr8m8 | AnxiousNut: I don't get it - did you answer your own question | 09:05 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo what kind of a computer is it? | 09:05 |
| bazhang | seestern, this is a support channel; do you have a support question? | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | rww: reminds me of the time i had computer janitor remove all my kernels.. :) | 09:05 |
| rww | Dr_Willis: computer-janitor shouldn't be in the repositories, in my opinion, much less the default installation | 09:06 |
| rww | horrible UI | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | rww: yep. i agree there. | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | rww: i think they fixed that bug at least... | 09:06 |
| AnxiousNut | gr8m8, lol no! What i need is a command that does what Ctrl+Z does, not a key binding! | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | AnxiousNut: you want to 'suspend' a gui app thats running some how? | 09:07 |
| gr8m8 | AnxiousNut: how would you apply it to a running app? - in another tewrminal? | 09:07 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: Just finished reversing, I'll reboot now, It's a new computer, just bought it with an intel processor and 4Gb RAM, what information do you exactly need? | 09:07 |
| gr8m8 | AnxiousNut: how would you apply it to a running app? - in another terminal? | 09:07 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - make/model (e.g. Dell 1550 or...) | 09:08 |
| fhmdgxs | gr8m8 what? | 09:08 |
| AnxiousNut | Dr_Willis, not a gui, but yea, from the same terminal! | 09:08 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: I bought the componentes and build it myself, the motherboard is a gigabit, and the audio it's integrated. | 09:08 |
| st__ | AnxiousNut, you was already give an answer | 09:08 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - ok | 09:08 |
| gr8m8 | fhmdgxs: what what? | 09:09 |
| ElPasmo | I'll reboot now slooksterpsv, brb | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | AnxiousNut: check the job control section of the bash docs perhaps.. ive never needed to suspend program B thats running on a different terminal.. | 09:09 |
| AnxiousNut | st__, no actually i didnt want to say that it isnt what i was searching for! So i thanked you over there anyways! | 09:09 |
| fhmdgxs | gr8m8 u question i can't see full question because i just came in | 09:09 |
| * fhmdgxs anyone can tell me a linux network programming irc channel? | 09:10 | |
| grigoriades | i just installed the "wine" on my pc how can i find it? | 09:11 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: I'm here, as I said before, when I first installed ubuntu 10.04 the audio worked, I think it was a kernel update who broke my audio. But I can't be sure | 09:11 |
| AnxiousNut | Dr_Willis, gr8m8, st__: you know, starting the first command in the background and connect to it through pid would be the best answer! Thanks for the help | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | grigoriades: via command line, or rgjht click on an .exe and tell it to open with the wine windows loader | 09:11 |
| gr8m8 | fhmdgxs: there's #networking iirc | 09:12 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: In theory, now I'm just where I began. When I open the volume control I don't have any device listed at the Hardware tab. | 09:12 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo, during boot you can revert to the old kernel 2.6.32.21 by hold shift when before grub loads (if the only os) and select the old kernel | 09:12 |
| fhmdgxs | grigoriades gnome-applications-it's in one menuitem | 09:12 |
| gr8m8 | fhmdgxs: there's ##networking iirc | 09:12 |
| grigoriades | Dr_Willis: thank you | 09:12 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: should I try now? | 09:12 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo, yeah do you need to use the new kernel atm? | 09:12 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: as a matter of fact no, I'll try right now, brb | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !lock | 09:13 |

| slooksterpsv | hey I have an issue with my mouse, on both systems actually; if I click and hold down the mouse button, it'll actually quit the mouse click, tried multiple mice and same thing, so at random I'll click some items | 09:14 |
| sharkzz | hello guys.. | 09:14 |

| sharkzz | somebody help..my localhost cant display.. | 09:14 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - any luck? | 09:14 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: I've only one kernel listed in my GRUB menu: 2.6-32-24 (If I remember it well) | 09:14 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo dang it must've removed the old kernel then... | 09:15 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: that kernel and the recovery mode... | 09:15 |
| slooksterpsv | any guru's on sound in here? | 09:15 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: should I try in a more especific channel? any one pulseaudio related? | 09:15 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo I'm out of ideas | 09:15 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo yeah, I'd open another chat window, and maybe someone here knows something I don't | 09:16 |
| ElPasmo | slooksterpsv: thanks a lot anyway, you have been very kind :) | 09:16 |
| juk | hi, just build nexuiz, from apt source, but game wont start it looks for some data files, i did build-dep nexuiz-data, what's wrong? | 09:16 |
| slooksterpsv | ElPasmo - you're welcome, I'm off to bed | 09:16 |
| slooksterpsv | Gnight All =D | 09:16 |

| juk | Dr_Willis, yes | 09:17 |
| juk | bazhang: i got it, build, game wont start :( | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | juk: check where the data is installed to.. could be your version is looking in differnt place. or different version #s | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | I would think you need to rebuild the data package and isntall it also.. but ive not tried that :) | 09:17 |
| bazhang | juk, why compile when you can install from repos | 09:18 |

| ElPasmo | Hi all, I have problems with my sound in Ubuntu 10.04, when I first installed all worked fine, but after an upgrade my sound system it's not recognized. I've tried to switch to OSS with no joy. Here is some information about my computer: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4e90bd4282b4e210de4b7f227cd970662e62354c | 09:19 |
| Balsaq | if i join bugzilla will that give me an affilliaion so i can get a proper cloak? | 09:19 |
| juk | Dr_Willis, how do I list files installed by build-dep for nexuiz-data | 09:20 |

| juk | nothing | 09:20 |
| st__ | grigoriades, also chmod it's desktop file to be executable | 09:20 |
| Balsaq | bugzilla is part of ubuntu i thought | 09:20 |
| rww | Balsaq: nope | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | juk: build-dep as far as i know just isntalls the extra things needed to compile the package.. | 09:20 |
| bazhang | Balsaq, its not | 09:21 |
| Balsaq | what os do they look for bugs in | 09:21 |
| rww | Balsaq: Ubuntu only gives out ubuntu/member/* cloaks, and you need to go through Ubuntu membership for that. and even then, that's offtopic for this channel :) | 09:21 |
| bullgard4 | What DEB program package provides the Ubuntu Installer? | 09:21 |
| juk | Dr_Willis, so why im still in dependency problem? | 09:21 |

| Dr_Willis | happysnappy: try disabling compuiz and see if it goes away... | 09:28 |
| happysnappy | how do I disable it? | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | because i know of no OTHER way to get that type of a effect other then via compiz | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-f2 -> metacity --replace perhaps.. | 09:28 |

| st__ | Cerebr0, from which company? | 09:37 |
| hariom | Hi, I have done a small project which requires Python, Lucene, Java Ant, Apache, Django to install in a system before running. Now I want to learn how to write a script which can setup the system requirements for this small project? Pls point me to some documents, tutorials or software. | 09:37 |
| gdb | hariom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages | 09:39 |
| hariom | Script should be able to fetch required software from ubuntu repository and install it. Many software come with such a facility like ./configure, make make install or ./install etc. | 09:39 |
| hariom | gdb: looking at that link. Thanks | 09:40 |
| gdb | hariom: Of course! The basic idea is to create a package that contains no software, but is dependent on the packages you want to install. | 09:40 |
| Leman_Russ | bazhang, it says it is there but is unknown | 09:40 |
| bazhang | Leman_Russ, paste.ubuntu.com with the output please | 09:41 |
| Leman_Russ | OK, I will have to log out and log back in as ubuntu. Thanks | 09:41 |
| FusionX | i requested only 2 CDs from ubuntu but i got all the 4 CDs, thanks alot!! | 09:42 |

| bazhang | geass_, support question? | 09:43 |
| FusionX | https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ | 09:43 |
| hariom | gdb: so meta packages can create a required environment to run the small project. I already have ubuntu on my machine but I don't want to download or apt-get each and every software one by one. One simple script and everything is done. Beside this, there are few packages which are not there in Ubuntu repository I guess. How to auto install them? | 09:44 |

| juk | Dr_Willis, went smooth, mv /var/cache/apt ~/.apt-cahe/; ln -s ~/.apt-cache/apt /var/cache/apt | 09:46 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: still no luck for the gdm but anyway have to try meerkat maybe it goes well with intel. | 09:47 |
| juk | Dr_Willis, how do you like my desktop? | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: normal desktop works. but gdm dosent? | 09:51 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: literaly wont startx | 09:52 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: only root can do. | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: and root has a low res desktop? or normal res? | 09:53 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: normal smooth and clean | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: that points to a permissions issue.. not a driver issue then | 09:53 |
| Xeross | Hey | 09:53 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: i mean the root has smooth reso | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: and whats the erorrs that a user gets when they do 'startx' ? | 09:54 |
| Xeross | By default the networking on my ubuntu install is disabled when I login, any way to make them automatically be enabled when I login (Networking and Wireless) | 09:54 |
| Xeross | ? | 09:54 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: it just flicker | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Wired networking is enabled by default here when i login... | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | as for wireless.. once i connect the first time. it asks for a keyring passwod (that i can leave blank) and it will auto-reconnect to my wireless also once i login. | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | scriptwarlock: there should be some error messages in the console. | 09:55 |
| ceme_zer | which packages i have to install to support new formats to compress and extract for File-roller ? But i do not want to install any program with GUI or command-line or something, i just want to support new formats (all archive formats if possible) with file-roller. (Ubuntu 10.04) | 09:55 |
| Xeross | Dr_Willis: Every time I login I have to enable wireless, sometimes also normal networking | 09:55 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: and then low graphics... lemme see the xlogs of some user account | 09:55 |
| Xeross | Dr_Willis: Dunno if that's because I | 09:55 |
| Xeross | Dr_Willis: 'm on a laptop | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ceme_zer: most archive tools for linux dont have a gui. they are backends to the various 'front ends' like filerioller. | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ceme_zer: install the binaries for the formats you want, rar, 7zip, zip, what otheres might you need? | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !zip | 09:56 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 09:56 |

| grigoriades | does anybody know how to apply subtitles on a movie? | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ceme_zer: look in the package manager. theres several 7zip related packages | 09:57 |

| sunny_ | Hey guys I m looking for smallest distro from debian | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: smallest to do what exactly? | 10:09 |
| karlo | I'm not shure if it is from debian, but tinycore is great (10 mb) | 10:09 |
| bazhang | !minimal | sunny_ | 10:09 |
| ubottu | sunny_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 10:09 |
| sunny_ | i dont want live | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Tinycore is not Debian based. :) its about as small as ive seen however. | 10:09 |
| bazhang | sunny_, for debian try #debian | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: tinycore can be installed to hd.. | 10:09 |
| sunny_ | but at least installable | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: most disrtos can be installed to hd. | 10:09 |
| bazhang | sunny_, this is ubuntu support not debian | 10:10 |
| karlo | tinycore! :D | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: so we are back to 'what' you want the disrto to do. theres several minimal ubuntu options out. | 10:10 |
| st__ | tinycore is useless, however | 10:10 |
| sunny_ | bazhang:isn't it same | 10:10 |
| bazhang | sunny_, no of course not | 10:10 |
| sunny_ | its almost based on that so wht is the difference | 10:11 |
| gr8m8 | !debian | 10:11 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | tinycore is very usefull for the teasks its designed for however.. | 10:11 |
| st__ | sunny_, it is the same, ubuntu just steals debian sid packages and put it some custom wallpapers | 10:11 |
| bazhang | sunny_, its offtopic here, thats the difference | 10:11 |
| bazhang | st__, wrong | 10:11 |
| scriptwarlock | Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/500212/ | 10:11 |
| gr8m8 | st__: that's more than uncharitable | 10:12 |
| sunny_ | sorry guys..Thanks Dr_wills | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | gr8m8: and basically becomming Trollish | 10:12 |
| gr8m8 | yep | 10:12 |
| st__ | bazhang, then why if I patch something in Ubuntu it's getting shoved upstream and left for rot? | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: If you tell us what you need to do.. we may be able to suggest a ubuntu answer. | 10:12 |
| bazhang | st__, dont comment if you have nothing useful to say | 10:12 |
| sunny_ | i want a minimal cd which atleast install GUI nd basic apps | 10:13 |
| sunny_ | and of course it should be related to *buntu | 10:13 |
| bazhang | sunny_, alternate installer then | 10:13 |
| bazhang | or minimal with lubuntu-core | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: you could always do a server install , and install what you want. or use some of the remaster tools/features to set up yur own. | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: and the whole point of going 'minimal' is to acomplish what exactly? | 10:14 |
| sunny_ | Thanks guys ...i will go for lubuntu | 10:14 |
| sunny_ | less disk space and fast enough | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: you have an old system or somthing? | 10:14 |
| AntonioBlob | hi, where should i set a varable? | 10:14 |
| st__ | sunny_, beware however that lubuntu misses most tools for even basic tasks | 10:14 |
| sunny_ | old laptop | 10:15 |
| AntonioBlob | envornment varable | 10:15 |
| bazhang | st_that is simply not so. | 10:15 |
| gr8m8 | AntonioBlob: in .bashrc normally | 10:15 |
| sunny_ | st__, does it miss drivers?? | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | AntonioBlob: what variavble are you refering to? | 10:15 |
| st__ | sunny_, no, I mean GUI configuring tools | 10:15 |
| bazhang | st__, please stop spreading misinformation | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | sunny_: kernel and drivers should be the same for mosta ll ubuntu variants | 10:16 |
| AntonioBlob | it's a long directory | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | AntonioBlob: Huh? | 10:16 |
| sunny_ | dr_wills..yeah it should be same for all derivatives | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | export foo='/some/long/path' | 10:16 |
| AntonioBlob | Dr_Willis yes, but i need to add permanently | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | AntonioBlob: user specific? system wide? see .bashrc or the /etc/profile or related dirs. | 10:17 |
| erdnase | what's the offtopic ubuntu channel again? | 10:18 |
| AntonioBlob | i read here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables, is suggested to put into /etc/envoronment | 10:18 |

| guitar-maniac | Dr_Willis: There's just text, "the suorce is available from the following locations" and then addresses. | 10:53 |
| guitar-maniac | oh there is a .deb package. Thanks! | 10:53 |
| gr8m8 | noobster987: a reboot? | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | guitar-maniac: theres PPA/repos for it | 10:53 |

| guitar-maniac | Dr_Willis: thanks! I'll follow those, thanks! | 10:54 |
| noobster987 | gr8m8: it repops only some devices. for example, wine now complains it could not find /dev/cdrom. whats the most original way to repopulate? i even tried MAKEDEV generic, but it did not do a cdrom (and i want to know the most automatic and original way) | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | guitar-maniac: thats only needed if you need the latest version of wine | 10:54 |
| guitar-maniac | Dr_Willis: yea i am going for the latest stable (1,2) version. | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | guitar-maniac: the urls also point to --> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa for the PPA of the latest | 10:56 |
| gr8m8 | noobster987: I wouldn't know the official way but tried touch /dev/cdrom ? | 10:57 |
| killown | after upgrade ubuntu for kubuntu and downgrade for ubuntu its displaying ugly fonts, do anyone know how fix it? | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | /dev/cdrom should b3e a link to the real device ie: /dev/sr0 | 10:57 |
| noobster987 | gr8m8: i did ln -s scd0 cdrom | 10:58 |
| noobster987 | eject works | 10:58 |
| gr8m8 | k | 10:58 |
| noobster987 | but nautilus does not see a changed cd neither wine | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | $ ls -l /dev/cdrom | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-09-25 05:17 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 | 10:58 |
| noobster987 | cd 1 worked, i wanted to change, and cdrom vanished | 10:58 |
| gr8m8 | noobster987: seems Dr_Willis might know | 10:58 |
| karlo | its good question from guitar-maniac, and I wanna know how to add new urls's for update specific programs to update manager :D | 10:58 |
| st__ | killown, ubuntu<->kubuntu is not an up|downgrade | 10:59 |
| gr8m8 | noobster987: /dev/sr0 not /dev/scd0 | 10:59 |
| guitar-maniac | That's a bit of mystery to me too :D Wuold like to learn it myself too. | 10:59 |
| noobster987 | Dr_Willis: i did it by hand already. but do you know what ubuntus original way is? i mean, after u install, it is populated. how to get to this state? | 10:59 |
| frankcardinal | hola a todo el munno | 10:59 |
| st__ | killown, launch appearance settings and set antialiasing & hinting | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | noobster987: never really seen whats setting up the links. /dev/ is populated by udev i think as needed | 11:00 |
| killown | st__, the problem is with google-chrome fonts | 11:00 |
| killown | pages showing ugly fonts | 11:00 |
| killown | but the system fonts is not problem | 11:00 |
| st__ | killown, use chrome tech support then | 11:01 |
| gr8m8 | Dr_Willis: I thoughtr the reboot would have set up the /dev files/dirs for him too | 11:01 |
| noobster987 | Dr_Willis: it is to some part populated, yes. but for example, cdrom is a standardlink which wont pe autopopulated. and exactly the mechanism how ubuntu does original population is what i want to know. but if you dont know. ;) | 11:01 |

| Dr_Willis | the old old old way is the mknod way | 11:02 |
| noobster987 | gr8m8: i already did. but my question changed to how ubuntu does it. when i install ubuntu, i dont neet to ln -s u know. :) | 11:03 |

| Dr_Willis | or was that the old way? they have a newer way? it seems it changes every 2 releases | 11:03 |

| gr8m8 | woot ##electronics - where all the chicks hang out ! | 11:24 |
| ppq | noobster987, just curious, why not dd? it's the simplest thing | 11:24 |
| ppq | noobster987, you can use burning suites such as k3b or brasero | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | noobster987: use cat/cp..... proberly can be done with other tools... depends on what you are wanting exactly | 11:25 |
| killown | I am having a issue with the ubuntu fonts, all system is showing nice fonts but in any web browser page its showing ugly fonts, note: I am using antialiasing & hinting, can anyone help me? http://img638.imageshack.us/i/capturadetelahq.png/ | 11:25 |
| mikeplus64 | Does anyone here have an Asus USB-BT21? If so, does it work on Linux? ( http://ru.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=Jedm35IuGStC8wd6 , it's a USB bluetooth adapter-thing ) | 11:26 |
| noobster987 | ppq: just to get an impression of alternatives ;) | 11:26 |
| noobster987 | but thx | 11:26 |
| noobster987 | ppq: but for dd i have to input blocksize. how can i find out original one? | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | noobster987: thats not what the dd blocksize option does.. | 11:28 |
| ppq | noobster987, its not so important what you select for bs=. it's just a speed thing | 11:28 |
| llutz | noobster987: bs is optional, not needed | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | bs=2048, or similer.. for speed.. actually it may default to 1024 now. ive heard others that say its changed. | 11:29 |
| llutz | noobster987: "cat /dev/sr0 >foo.iso" easiest thing | 11:29 |
| llutz | Dr_Willis: default bs=512 | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | llutz: guess thate better then 1 | 11:30 |
| ppq | noobster987, when you're copying from a dvd-/cdrom, the device itself is the speed limiting instance, i think setting bs= wont be necessary. if you're copying from a hard disk, bs= is important - then use bs=10M for example (fastest for me) | 11:30 |
| noobster987 | i read that if you dont input blocksoze and volume size, the md5 could differ from original iso that was burned | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | noobster987: due to empty/null at the end.. thats possible i guess.. but ive rarely checked the md5sum against a downloaded iso.. but against the origianl disk. | 11:31 |
| === liamsm1thuk is now known as liamsmithuk | ||
| Dr_Willis | noobster987: the md5sum of a ubuntu cd i got from shippit Did differ from the iso download md5sum. proberly due to padding at the end,. | 11:31 |

| BlaDe^ | Hi guys, since upgrading to 10.04 (Like last time) after a while my wifi drops and keeps asking for a password to connect. The only way to get it back on is a reboot | 12:51 |
| pp__ | sabgenton, i had just installed mono and then i got some problem with monodoc-browser or something when trying to update via update-manager. so i tried restarting and i got this shit. then i apt-get removed that monodoc-whatever and carried on with the update. update worked like a charm and i restarted again but i still have this crap | 12:51 |
| BlaDe^ | to me it SEEMS temperature related? Because on a cold boot it lasts a lot longer, and if I simply reboot after it has gone off it doesn't last very long. But it has always worked great on 9.10 | 12:52 |
| Taggnostr | thune3, do you suggest to edit xorg.conf manually with 1680x1050 and try to restart X? | 12:52 |

| thune3 | Taggnostr: for this test, probably moving xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old and restarting X or rebooting. | 12:53 |

| rxd1 | http://picasaweb.google.com/rexterd/Linux#5520819693419938354 | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: dont use the close button. use the 'exit' command. | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: 'metacity --replace &' then 'exit' | 13:11 |
| andycc | iceman_: metacity --replace & disown" | 13:11 |

| blade | hey any1 know how to install a new font in openoffice?? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | mreh: ubuntus window manager is either metacity or compiz. dependng on if you are using the special effects. | 13:12 |
| andycc | blade: double-click the ttf file and click "install" | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | mreh: you could use others if you wanted. | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !fonts | 13:12 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 13:12 |
| andycc | blade: openoffice uses Ubuntu's fonts. | 13:12 |
| iceman_ | andycc, Dr_Willis, neither command does anything at all | 13:12 |
| mreh | Dr_Willis: I'm thinking of substituting in xmonad | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: exit should keep metacity running, and not stop it when you 'exit' the terminal. | 13:12 |
| uLinux | What is this connection with avocado.canonical.com? | 13:12 |
| blade | Thnx i ll check it out.. :) | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: or install/use the 'fusion-icon' program. to handle it | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !info fusion-icon | 13:13 |
| ubottu | fusion-icon (source: fusion-icon): tray icon to launch and manage Compiz Fusion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.0-2 (lucid), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB | 13:13 |

| blade | i needed to install kannada font in2 my openoffice.. so installed the same font from synaptic.. but cant find it in the dropdown menu in office.. | 13:15 |

| andycc | blade: try restarting openoffice, see if that works. | 13:15 |
| Qwert | andycc: How is Koffice? | 13:15 |

| beginner | lots of people talking about lots of different things | 13:26 |
| andycc | beginner: okay... | 13:26 |
| jrib | iceman_: ask your actual question | 13:26 |
| andycc | iceman_: why is metacity broken in the first place? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? | 13:27 |
| jrib | beginner: read only your highlights and highlight who you are talking to | 13:27 |
| beginner | is there a way to filter? | 13:27 |
| andycc | enetic: sorry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 13:27 |
| cjjnjust | jrib, i use command :reg, and find no * register | 13:27 |
| edgewalker001 | Further question, I'm new at using IRC, how do I highlight? | 13:27 |
| beginner | to see only typing ment to me? | 13:27 |
| jrib | cjjnjust: for example, to copy the current line to the "* register: "*yy | 13:28 |
| andycc | edgewalker001: type your target's name | 13:28 |
| enetic | andycc, thanks.. ill take a look at it :) | 13:28 |
| edgewalker001 | Thanks | 13:28 |
| iceman_ | jrib metacity, it doesn't load on startup. i've tried un- and reinstalling. i can run it in terminal but it only works with terminal open. when i close that terminal everything goes to clusterfuck and if i open a terminal again, i can't type anything in that terminal. i have to restart | 13:28 |
| robotti^ | mäaah | 13:28 |
| bazhang | iceman_, language please | 13:28 |
| andycc | enetic: I suggest you try removing it and reinstalling. | 13:28 |
| jrib | iceman_: metacity & disown see if stays when you log back in | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: I imagine you are set to use compiz by default. Try installing the 'fusion-icon' program and run it. and use that to select 'metacity' | 13:29 |
| cjjnjust | jrib, my vim have no * register, | 13:29 |
| iceman_ | jrib when you say metcaity & disown, is that a command? including the "&"? im an utter noob, you have to be more concise | 13:29 |
| enetic | thanks.. | 13:29 |
| jrib | cjjnjust: are you using ubuntu? | 13:29 |
| jgb | cjjnjust: if you want to copy a complete text file from the command line: xsel -b < filename.txt | 13:29 |
| beginner | how to highlight? | 13:29 |
| andycc | iceman_: yes | 13:29 |
| enetic | andycc, thanks.. ill try.. ill log of now, and get back later.. thanks for the help | 13:29 |
| beginner | ax person | 13:29 |
| cjjnjust | jrib, yes. | 13:29 |
| jrib | iceman_: yes « metacity & disown » is a command | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: so the commands we all gave earlier were total gibberish to you. :) | 13:29 |
| andycc | beginner: type your target's name and then your message | 13:29 |
| jrib | cjjnjust: what vim are you using? | 13:29 |
| andycc | beginner: like I do right now. | 13:29 |
| iceman_ | dr_willis sudo apt-get install fusion-icon? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | cjjnjust: the default vim is a 'tiny' version with a lot of features missing | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: yes. | 13:30 |
| beginner | have no clue | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | iceman_: fusion icon is a very handy tool that can restart metacity/compiz if it crashes and lets you set other things. | 13:30 |
| cjjnjust | version 7.2.330 | 13:30 |
| beginner | i can see you'r typing in red, but how do you sdo that? | 13:30 |

| Guest15324 | im trying to install ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run but it will not work | 13:34 |
| andycc | beginner: is Ekiga installed? Just run it from the menu (applications > internet > ekiga, I assume) | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest15324: the ati drivers from the repos dont work for you? | 13:34 |

| Avt_ | no Dr | 13:35 |
| beginner | andycc: <am running it now > | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Avt_: you need to 'chmod +x whatever.run' then 'sudo ./whatever.run' and most likely you need to do this from the CONSOLE, and stop X/GDM first.. (sudo service gdm stop) | 13:35 |

| Dr_Willis | Avt_: thats all i know on using the ati.run installer.. i dont use ati any more. They break to many things | 13:36 |
| dr0id | guys installed ubuntu (gnome) on my friends PC, but can't see any drives | 13:36 |
| beginner | andyc: < it takes ages to run. this normal? was so from the very first time i used it > | 13:36 |
| jrib | m1r: add "set -x" as the second line of /var/lib/dpkg/info/red5*.prerm or whatever | 13:36 |
| Avt_ | so run will work? | 13:36 |
| andycc | beginner: possibly. I never used Ekiga. | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | dr0id: you mean internal, and external/usb NTFS filesystems? | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Avt_: you 'run' a whatever.run file... | 13:36 |
| obengdako | andycc: does it work | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Avt_: ./whatever.run if its executable. | 13:37 |
| dr0id | Dr_Willis: yes | 13:37 |
| obengdako | obengdako: hem | 13:37 |
| cjjnjust | jrib, I 'm not in tiny vim. | 13:37 |
| andycc | obengdako: yes, it works. | 13:37 |
| andycc | obengdako: if you're talking about highlighting, that is. | 13:37 |
| obengdako | but mine is not highlighted | 13:37 |
| beginner | andycc: < still loading or whatever. it has some issue with my router also > | 13:37 |
| jrib | cjjnjust: so back to my original question, which one are you in? | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | dr0id: install/run the ntfs-config tool. it should let you add proper fstab entries for them. But they 'should' show up under the Places -> computer -> location | 13:37 |
| andycc | obengdako: you can't highlight your own messages. | 13:37 |
| andycc | obengdako: not in all clients. | 13:37 |
| dr0id | Dr_Willis: they don't :( | 13:37 |
| obengdako | using empathy | 13:38 |
| dr0id | they showed in Demo | 13:38 |
| cjjnjust | vim 7.2.330, is that not a full one ? | 13:38 |
| obengdako | andycc: what client are you using? | 13:38 |
| Avt_ | Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version | 13:38 |
| Avt_ | default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.31-22-generic; make sure that the version is being | 13:38 |
| Avt_ | correctly set by --iscurrentdistro | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | dr0id: if windows dident properly shutdown they can be flagged as 'dirty' and they wont automount also.. Try the ntfs-config tool. and theres factoids on otjher ways to access them | 13:38 |
| andycc | obengdako: pidgin, but I don't think #ubuntu is the right place to talk about that. | 13:38 |

| cjjnjust | usr/vim/vim.basic | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Avt_: ati likes to break things.. i dont use ati.. they updated things.. and now they seem to not work with ubuntu properly. | 13:40 |
| andycc | EckoO: try asking in #eclipse. | 13:40 |
| beginner | andycc:< says: no incoming sound will be played because of sth> | 13:40 |
| cjjnjust | jrib, usr/bin/vim.basic. | 13:40 |
| beginner | andycc: < and there we go again - no sound > | 13:40 |
| andycc | cjjnjust: that's vim-tiny, I think. | 13:40 |
| Avt_ | :( | 13:40 |
| dr0id | Dr_Willis: thanks! | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | the full vim seems to use the binary 'vim-basic' here. | 13:41 |
| jrib | cjjnjust: I'm using vim.gtk | 13:41 |
| beginner | just before there was a soundcard, via something and now only dummy output > | 13:41 |
| jrib | cjjnjust: there's also vim.gnome | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dr0id: the ntfs-3g homepage/faq is worth reading some time if ysing ntfs a lot. | 13:41 |
| andycc | beginner: I think you're better off asking for Ekiga support somewhere else. | 13:41 |
| andycc | beginner: look at http://ekiga.org/community. | 13:41 |
| beginner | andycc: < just before there was a soundcard VIA something, now only dummy output > | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder how much differance is in vim.gtk and vim.gnome | 13:42 |
| cjjnjust | I remember i have download the full package. Is the vim.basic really a tiny version??? | 13:42 |
| andycc | beginner: join #ekiga on the irc.gnome.org server. | 13:42 |
| beginner | andycc: i'm looking for a nice voip clien for ubuntu. any suggestion? > | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | cjjnjust: vim-tiny is the tiny version | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | cjjnjust: vim-basic seems to be the 'full' version. but its possible theres some vim-uber-enhanced out there.. buit ive never seen it | 13:43 |
| MadCowzGaming | Hey guy, I have a question. I want to use my USB RockBand Microphone for PS3 (made by Logitech) on my system, On windows it was plug and play but i can not seem to figure it out on ubuntu. Thanks! | 13:43 |
| m1r | jrib, in red5.prerm was "set -e" i changed it to "set -x" but still same error | 13:44 |
| jrib | m1r: I didn't say to change it. Try what I said, then pastebin the result the full error output | 13:44 |
| obengdako | andycc: sorry i got disconnected, what client are you using? | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | MadCowzGaming: for my usb mic. I plugged it in and selected it in --> $ gstreamer-properties | 13:44 |
| Somelauw | How does the clipboard work in ubuntu (I already know how it works in windows) | 13:44 |
| Somelauw | ? | 13:44 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, plugin the mic , then run lsusb in the terminal , to see if it's listed | 13:44 |
| andycc | beginner: seriously though, why do you need voip? With who do you want to talk on voip? I suggest you use Pidgin with a Jabber/Yahoo account for chatting. | 13:44 |
| beginner | andycc: < ok. thanks anyway.> | 13:44 |
| MadCowzGaming | Thanks, I will try that and get back to you. | 13:45 |
| jrib | Somelauw: works the same except there are two of them (one accessed by highlighting and middleclicking) | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: theres 2 of them. a selection 'buffer' that you can select and middle click. then theres the windows-like select/copy/paste type buffer | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: the clipboard managers can even sync the 2 if you wanted to | 13:45 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, Yes it is listed. | 13:45 |

| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: theres proberly a dozen 'clipboard manager' programs out... | 13:47 |
| Somelauw | But does pasting happen immediately or is it loaded from the program | 13:47 |
| MadCowzGaming | Dr_Willis, Where can i find $gstreamer-properties? Sorry i am new to Ubuntu. | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: there is a clipboard buffer. then a 'selection' buffer. | 13:47 |
| Somelauw | What happens to formatting when pasting to a flat text editor. | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | MadCowzGaming: its a command you type... i dont know where its at in the menus | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: a text editor would use the clipboard.. try it and see... | 13:48 |
| MadCowzGaming | Dr_Willis, In Terminal? | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: selection buffer. normally used in terminals | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | MadCowzGaming: yes... | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | MadCowzGaming: command is 'gstreamer-properties' | 13:48 |

| ubottu | judgepg: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 15:27 |
| nozes | read error, help | 15:27 |
| judgepg | erUSUL: and ubottu: thank you both. To give some additional insight. I have sshfs that mounts a remote folder. I then download bittorrents to that remote folder. That's when it starts using up all the memory quiet quickly | 15:29 |
| linelevel | Hi guys. I have a file that I can't write to. I try `ls -l` shows this file with question marks for its owner, group, and permissions. Any attempt to `sudo chown` `sudo chmod` or `sudo rm` the file results in "Input/output error". Every other file on this drive works fine. Any suggestions? | 15:29 |
| erUSUL | judgepg: as i said it filesystem caching. sshfs as fuse filesystem ( in userspace) may use more memory | 15:30 |

| judgepg | erUSUL: think you hit the nail on the head there. What do you suggest (perhaps some cron job that might free up memory once in a while, if that makes any sense) | 15:31 |
| judgepg | erUSUL: When all the memory and swap gets used up, the vm becomes unusuable | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | judgepg: why do you want to free the memory? memory is there to be used. | 15:32 |

| bihari_ | whats wrong? | 15:33 |
| exarkun | dpkg: /etc/ssl/certs/ipop3d.pem not found. | 15:33 |
| jrib | exarkun: then it doesn't belong to a package. Maybe it's created by one | 15:33 |
| judgepg | erUSUL: Yep, it's swapping after the physical memory is all used up. Have any recommendations? Seems like sshfs is doing some dirty work. | 15:33 |
| exarkun | jrib: I'm sure there is sublime joy to be found in understanding the distinction between "created by" and "responsible for". However, I just want to know if there's anything I can uninstall to get rid of it, or if I should just delete it. | 15:34 |

| damiankw | Quick question, I have a script which creates a process that randomly creates files (there's no way in the script to track these files), but the script runs under root - I need to be able to have priveledges on that file to have global wrx .. any ideas? | 15:41 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, I have also deleted the wrong version so now i am running what came on the disk. | 15:41 |
| grigoriades | no upgrade. I want to know how to get updates (securities, ect) | 15:41 |
| xangua | sudo apt-get update grigoriades | 15:42 |
| jrib | damiankw: honestly, you should reconsider the design. But use umask | 15:42 |
| linelevel | jrib, I unmounted the drive and ran ntfsfix (from the ntfs-3g suite), and that didn't turn up any errors. | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, deleted the driver , how ? | 15:42 |
| linelevel | jrib, I don't have a copy of windows to run the windows chkdisk | 15:42 |
| jrib | linelevel: why even both with ntfs then | 15:43 |
| linelevel | jrib, I used to dual boot, but i overwrote that patition months ago | 15:43 |
| damiankw | i've looked into umask, but it doesn't seem to keep the mask over more than a day or so, is that how it's designed to work? | 15:43 |
| MadCowzGaming | idk, i ran a code in teminal so now i am back on w/e came on the disk | 15:43 |
| linelevel | partition | 15:43 |
| jrib | damiankw: something else probably changes the umask? What's the script for? | 15:43 |
| === maco2 is now known as maco | ||
| linelevel | jrib, well ok, i can try booting from a windows boot CD. i'll be back to update you guys. | 15:44 |
| jezi22 | guys is SiS card supported in 9.10?.. | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, what commands did you run , sudo aptitude remocve saiddriver ? | 15:44 |
| damiankw | it's a downloader, grabs files from a website when available and dumps them into this directory | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | err remove | 15:44 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, cd /usr/share/ati | 15:45 |
| MadCowzGaming | sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh | 15:45 |
| azunyaa-roku | How to show special caracters like : œ in smplayer ? | 15:45 |
| sinman | how can i take a screen shot of the plymouth boot screen when my computer is starting | 15:45 |
| jrib | damiankw: why can't you just chmod them? | 15:45 |
| azunyaa-roku | I'm talking about subtitles | 15:45 |
| Xeross | Is it possible to have live updating windows during resizing ? | 15:45 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, I do not guess that deleted the ATI Driver just fglrx, Can i install on top of the old driver? | 15:46 |
| elijah | What is the command I run again to delete all the downloaded package files? | 15:46 |
| jrib | elijah: apt-get clean | 15:46 |
| elijah | something clean? | 15:46 |
| elijah | jrib: thx | 15:46 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, ok install the correct driver , but you must remove the old ati driver first | 15:47 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, How? | 15:47 |
| damiankw | jrib, unless i run another process to check for new additions to the directory, there's no way to track which files come down (with the method i'm using) | 15:47 |
| damiankw | sometimes it can grab a few hundred files at a time also | 15:47 |
| Xeross | damiankw: What are you trying to do ? | 15:47 |
| jrib | damiankw: #bash can probably help you come up with a better solution | 15:47 |
| sinman | jrib: would you know how i can increase the colors in plymnouth from the default 4 colors | 15:47 |
| saji89 | elijah: I think you may need to use sudo apt-get clean | 15:47 |
| elijah | saji89: Yeah, that was it! | 15:48 |
| saji89 | elijah: cool. | 15:48 |
| grigoriades | what is sudo apt-get | 15:48 |
| AbhiJit | !manual | grigoriades | 15:48 |
| ubottu | grigoriades: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 15:48 |
| damiankw | Xeross, essentially make an entire folder read/write to everyone, even when a user dumps a new file in there - as umask does | 15:48 |
| OneMillionDollar | do you guys have problem with audio and video in ubuntu ? | 15:48 |
| maco | grigoriades: sudo is like "simon says" for the computer..tells it to do something as admin. apt-get is the program that installs, removes, upgrades, etc. packages | 15:49 |
| lee-x | how would you install wxpython on python2.7? | 15:49 |
| elijah | If there are any devs in here - Journaled HFS+ Write support would be nice to have by default in 10.10 | 15:49 |
| Xeross | damiankw: So why cant you use the mask in there | 15:49 |
| saji89 | OneMillionDollar: I don't have problems. | 15:49 |
| OneMillionDollar | it seems like ubuntu is not as good as windows when it comes to media playing | 15:49 |
| saji89 | #ubuntu+1 | 15:49 |
| maco | elijah: wayyyyyyyyyyy too late to ask for that now, 2 weeks before release | 15:49 |
| grigoriades | maco: thank you maco | 15:49 |
| skalka | hi, I was just wondering if plymouth will ever work with nvidia proprietary drivers, with Maverick Beta is still impossible to have a decent splash screen | 15:49 |
| OneMillionDollar | sometime when listen to internet radio the player will hang | 15:49 |
| maco | elijah: does such support exist in linux but is simply not included by default? if so, send an email to ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com | 15:50 |
| nozes | http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6117/img2705i.jpg helpppppp | 15:50 |
| saji89 | elijah: The channel to talk of meerkat is #ubuntu+1 | 15:50 |
| maco | elijah: you can at least raise the topic for 11.04 | 15:50 |
| elijah | maco: Well, suposedly it was fixed a while ago but it doesn't work, and that is why I am asking now, since it is only 2 weeks before release. There is still time! | 15:50 |
| === Guest72507 is now known as linelevel | ||
| linelevel | jrib, windows chkdisk solved it :) | 15:50 |
| maco | elijah: bug number? | 15:50 |
| Neo-Claw | hello :) I've found an old Acer Travelmate 530 and want to give it to my mom, so she can learn how to use the internet. But I can't get the 10.04.01 livecd to boot. Can someone help me out with this? | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, when you installed the ati driver , there should have been a readme file in the folder that was generated , there should be instructions in the readme file how to uninstall/remove the .run driver | 15:50 |
| judgepg | OneMillionDollar: Do you have the ubuntu restricted package for the codecs? | 15:51 |
| xangua | !lubuntu | 15:51 |
| xangua | Neo-Claw: depend how old is it, maybe lubuntu will fit | 15:51 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 15:51 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, Ok i will see if i cant find it | 15:51 |
| damiankw | Xeross, how do you mean use the mask? | 15:51 |
| elijah | maco: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5878/ | 15:51 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Hmm one second I'm not familiar with the masks | 15:51 |
| maco | elijah: but no bug report about it being broken? if there's no bug report, it's not on anyone's radar... | 15:51 |
| Neo-Claw | ooh, I'll take a look at it :) the laptop is pretty old.. it's with 512mb ram, dvd-r and floppy drive | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | Neo-Claw, how old is the travelmate ? | 15:52 |
| xbonesx | erUSUL: seems like the dell 1505 works a lot better to be honest... | 15:52 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Yeah using the umask would be tricky, so you'd basically need something that chmods the file when it gets created right ? | 15:52 |
| elijah | maco: This was my first step before a bug report :) | 15:52 |
| xbonesx | at least with my laptop anywas | 15:52 |
| elijah | maco: Where do I make a bug report again? | 15:52 |
| horseatingweeds | When you open an ftp connection with Nautilus, can you edit and save files on a remove server as if they're local? | 15:53 |
| damiankw | yeah, Xeross .. but this would have to be a completely different process to what i'm using currently | 15:53 |
| dsdeiz | heya anyone knows how to set a width for conky? i tried setting maximum_width although it didn't seem to have any effect | 15:53 |
| maco | elijah: brainstorm fuels some of the discussion at UDS, but all UDS decisions become blueprints eventually when they're being implemented to track progress. thats more for features though. bugs are reported in bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 15:53 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Hmm, well there's a python package that can monitor a filesystem, and then you can just write a function that chmods | 15:53 |
| sinman | what is conky? | 15:54 |
| Xeross | damiankw: So I guess you could run that script as root and let it chmod everything, that's how I would do it | 15:54 |
| dsdeiz | i have this for my config.. http://pastebin.com/5CTfHJVs | 15:54 |
| maco | elijah: i think youd want: ubuntu-bug hfsplus | 15:54 |
| damiankw | mm, i'm trying not to venture into another language to solve the issues - the system at the moment is built on php | 15:54 |
| lee-x | i need help, how do you install wxpython on python2.7? | 15:54 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Another option is looping over the directory checking for differences every X seconds, but that's less efficient | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | Neo-Claw, the live-cd doesn't recognize HW much over 4-5 yrs old, try the alternate-install cd instead , it has better HW recognition and options | 15:55 |
| damiankw | yeah i know, especially when the directory size is ~300gb worth of ~10mb files | 15:55 |
| Neo-Claw | sweet :) | 15:55 |
| Neo-Claw | thanks BluesKaj | 15:55 |
| === saji89 is now known as opensorcerer | ||
| elijah | maco: I am at the site but not following what you mean by ubuntu-bug hfsplus? | 15:55 |
| Xeross | damiankw: So how do the users edit these files ? | 15:55 |
| maco | elijah: to file a bug including all info about the package, you can run the "ubuntu-bug hfsplus" command | 15:55 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Or create them | 15:56 |
| damiankw | a cron script downloads the files from a website every night, the users access the files through nfs | 15:56 |
| === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy | ||
| Xeross | damiankw: And the cron script cant chmod them appropriatly ? | 15:57 |
| damiankw | it COULD, but it wouldn't be very efficient | 15:57 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Why not, it would only chmod the ones it writes, and it only chmods them when needed | 15:57 |
| elijah | maco: Wow, that is pretty sweet! Okay, so I see the idea as being implemented in April 10' so that means it was not in 10.04 and should be in 10.10 right? So if that is correct then I should boot into 10.10 and do the bug report from there? | 15:57 |
| damiankw | to give you a better understanding, the cron grabs an RSS feed, then wget -r's entire folders - so there's no set amount of time it will take for that folder to dwonload | 15:58 |
| maco | elijah: yep | 15:58 |
| damiankw | so within a few seconds the cron script starts / stops and sets wget to download | 15:58 |
| elijah | maco: Thanks for your guidance! | 15:58 |
| damiankw | so the script would have to check if wget is still running, THEN modify accordingly | 15:58 |
| moshe | Hi | 15:58 |
| damiankw | that's why i'm after something like umask that actually works :P | 15:58 |
| damiankw | as like i said before, umask works perfect and does exactly what i want .. however it only works for a few hours and then it doesn't | 15:59 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, Ok, It is completly uninstall using info from ATI website. When i try to run the file i get "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and on the ubuntu site it says "XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4" Does 10.04 support these drivers? | 15:59 |
| snlemons | In 10.4 when I do ctrl-alt-left, it properly switches me between desktops, but it won't wrap from desktop1 to desktop4. It always used to. Is there a way to change that back? | 15:59 |
| maco | snlemons: you need to have desktop effects enabled to wrap | 15:59 |
| Xeross | damiankw: From waht I understand the umask gets set on a process, so if we set the umask of the wget that should work right ? | 15:59 |
| === JonathanD is now known as Guest3407 | ||
| snlemons | maco: By which you mean System->Prefs->Appearance->Visual Effects, or something else? | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, check that your archecture is the same as the driver 64 or 32 bit | 16:00 |
| maco | snlemons: exactly | 16:00 |
| damiankw | oh, iv'e been setting umask to dir - it could be synchonising to the login i'm using and if that gets disconnceted it stops? | 16:00 |
| snlemons | maco: I have them on Normal. Do I actually have to switch to Extra just to be able to loop between my desktops? | 16:01 |
| === Guest3407 is now known as JonathanD | ||
| maco | snlemons: hmm no normal should be enough. "none" definitely wouldnt be though (because metacity doesn't wrap and compiz does) | 16:01 |
| Xeross | damiankw: According to the wiki page the umask is lost when the process terminates/the user logs out | 16:01 |
| damiankw | ohhhh, i've been using it wrong. i get how it works now | 16:02 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, Oh i see, The guys over at ATI got the links backwards. 32-bit links to 64 and 64-bit links to 32. | 16:02 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Just out of curiosity how are you using it ? | 16:02 |
| snlemons | maco: Weird. Did metacity wrap in the past? I feel like I was able to wrap before compiz even existed. | 16:02 |
| damiankw | i was setting it in a directory from my user, testing .. worked. then when the cron came along .. it didn't :P | 16:02 |
| maco | snlemons: lack of wrapping in metacity was one reason i switched to compiz in 2006... | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | MadCowzGaming, you running 64 bit ubuntu ? | 16:03 |
| damiankw | if i set the umask under the user running the cron, it SHOULD pick up that envariable for the cron, correct? | 16:03 |
| adilalpman | hi | 16:03 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Well the cron is a bash script or ? | 16:03 |
| MadCowzGaming | BluesKaj, No the guys over at AMD messed up on there site lol | 16:03 |
| adilalpman | i have a problem with my 3g usb modem on my kubuntu 10.04 | 16:04 |
| damiankw | it's a php script | 16:04 |
| adilalpman | can anybody help me? | 16:04 |
| snlemons | maco: Huh. Maybe I'm remembering when I was on something KDE-based or something. | 16:04 |
| Xeross | damiankw: And the PHP script calls wget ? | 16:04 |
| snlemons | Is there not a place where I can select the specific effects I want or change settings for my virtual desktops any more? | 16:04 |
| maco | snlemons: compizconfig-settings-manager needs to be installed for that | 16:04 |
| damiankw | Xeross, that's right | 16:04 |
| Xeross | damiankw: So you're using the system() call to run the wget | 16:05 |
| Milkehh | think somebody can help me set up my 802.11bgn card? | 16:06 |
| damiankw | actually, i can't even remember this shizzle it's been so long, gimme 2secs | 16:06 |
| brittany | Milkehh: lspci | 16:06 |
| juk | anyone on ubuntu playing games? | 16:06 |
| brittany | Milkehh: Tell us which card you have... | 16:06 |
| snlemons | maco: Excellent. Easy enough. Does it also allow me to change settings about my virtual desktops, or only address the compiz part of the question? | 16:06 |
| Milkehh | brittany: it doesn't feel like showing up | 16:06 |
| Xeross | damiankw: Ok, you would just add a call to the umask before calling wget, I'd say try if that works | 16:06 |
| Xeross | juk: Well I am trying to :P | 16:06 |
| brittany | Milkehh: We can't help you then. | 16:06 |
| Milkehh | brittany: but according to my laptop, I have an 'Acer Nplify' | 16:06 |
| maco | snlemons: compiz handles virtual desktops when you have effects enabled. it's a full window manager | 16:06 |
| Leeee | I need help with a wireless card too. Its RTL8188CE and i cant get it wot work with ubuntu | 16:07 |
| damiankw | yeah, that should be easy enough. cron runs php script; php script system()'s a bash script, bash script runs wget | 16:07 |
| damiankw | :P | 16:07 |
| Milkehh | brittany: does acer nplify narrow it down enough? | 16:07 |
| brittany | Milkehh: Open a terminal and type lspci and look for it in the output. | 16:07 |
| snlemons | maco: Excellent. Thanks. | 16:07 |

| elijah | Xeross: I ran sudo apt-get clean, is that what you mean? | 16:14 |
| MadCowzGaming | I guess 10.04 doesn't support my drivers... Because they will not install, keep getting "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" | 16:14 |
| Xeross | elijah: Yeah and I don't know if you run aptitude but it also has a clean function (Might clean the same thing though) | 16:14 |

| NTQ | At the moment I do it the following way: ssh -L 54321:localhost:54321 username@ssh-server | 18:59 |

| slooksterpsv | wac_ - somewhat, I can figure it out if needed | 19:01 |
| === th1_ is now known as techhelper1 | ||
| _frijole | jrib: nice, I think that did it. Thanks! I've been on OSX too long... | 19:01 |
| slooksterpsv | LordDragon - mine does it sometimes if I have a lot going on, usually you need to update your graphics or if the graphics are set to high effects, change it back tonormal | 19:02 |
| NTQ | win7 64 bits just emulates the 32 bit programs. | 19:02 |
| wac_ | slooksterpsv: well I am trying to teach myself and I am having a little trouble I got basic script making down but I cannot seem to figure out the if/else/fi command | 19:02 |

| karlo | what video editor you recommended? (OpenShot or kdenlive) | 19:02 |
| jrib | karlo: use the one you like best, there's also kino and pitivi | 19:03 |
| slooksterpsv | wac_ - so how do you want the if script to work, I should ask | 19:03 |
| LordDragon | slooksterpsv, they are at the mid setting, the one that ubuntu 10.04 defaults to. and it tears even in a fresh installation when nothing is running. and i am using the proprietary latest drivers for my nvidia card | 19:03 |
| wac_ | if/then/else or something | 19:03 |
| wac_ | haha yea | 19:03 |
| DrJuano | NTQ, is there any possibility to do so on an Ubuntu 64 bits? | 19:03 |
| NTQ | DrJuano: a 32 bit program can not use libraries compiled for 64 bit. So you have to install 32 bit libraries on ubuntu to make such programs work. | 19:03 |
| Nirra | PM me who can help me to install phpsysinfo.. | 19:03 |
| slooksterpsv | LordDragon - hmmm... what kind of NVidia card (I'm an ati guy lol) | 19:03 |

| NTQ | ubottu: I know these commands and I am able to establish the desired connection, but I want to automate it. | 19:10 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:10 |
| jrib | sachin: it runs files, it doesn't save them | 19:10 |
| Guest22379 | where to give this command | 19:10 |
| NTQ | ^^ | 19:10 |
| jrib | wac_: spacing in []. #bash can help you more | 19:10 |
| juk | !details | NTQ | 19:10 |
| ubottu | NTQ: 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 ..." | 19:10 |
| wac_ | man didnt know there was a bash channel thanx buddy | 19:11 |
| Guest22379 | jrib:where to give this command? | 19:11 |
| NTQ | At the moment I do it the following way: ssh -L 54321:localhost:54321 username@ssh-server | 19:11 |
| NTQ | On the ssh-server then: ssh -L 54321:localhost:22 username@targetserver | 19:11 |
| NTQ | And then I am able to establish a sftp connection if I use "localhost" as the server's name and the port "54321" | 19:11 |
| NTQ | Is it possible to automate this with a bash script and without authentification certificates, but still with password input? VPN don't come into consideration. | 19:11 |
| FloodBot1 | NTQ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:11 |
| sachin | ya thts right but before running files it must b save somewhwer na | 19:11 |
| jrib | sachin: ok, so save it somewhere presumably with a text editor | 19:12 |
| agentgasmask | Are there any dangers to leaving the irc channel connected for an extended amount of time (viruses and things)? | 19:12 |
| NTQ | Guest22379: open a terminal, the write "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" , copy the output and use http://paste.ubuntu.com to give us the result | 19:12 |
| dagon666 | any idea where I can find alternative ppa for elegant-gnome ? ppa:elegant-gnome/ppa - seems to be not available (I get 404 no found, during update) | 19:12 |
| sachin | ok......... | 19:12 |
| juk | !bash | NTQ | 19:13 |
| ubottu | NTQ: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:13 |
| NTQ | is juk also a bot? | 19:13 |

| slooksterpsv | LordDragon - is it an external or internal? | 19:38 |
| Emass | oh okey, do you might know how i would do that? | 19:39 |
| LordDragon | internal. the drive has only 1 partition and the device assigned to it is /dev/sdd1 | 19:39 |
| maedox | Emass: Open Synaptic and enable the Multiverse repository. | 19:39 |

| sm | g'day all. I want to configure my netbook to send mail via authenticated smtp to my mail provider. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer recommends postfix but #postfix recommends a null mail client like ssmtp, esmtp, nullmailer.

| slooksterpsv | LordDragon - it won't actually mount as write, but you can change that to ro | 19:43 |

| LordDragon | lorddragon@ubuntu:/media$ sudo mount -ro /dev/sdd1 mediadrive -t hfsplus | 19:45 |

| slooksterpsv | LordDragon - that won't work, where mediadrive is, we need it to be a directory like /media | 19:45 |
| Emass | thanks for the help! both sites are working now :) | 19:45 |
| Ryen | delinquentme: How are you trying to edit your sources file? | 19:46 |

| delinquentme | trying to add mongoDB .. w this line deb http://downloads.mongodb.org/distros/ubuntu 10.4 10gen | 19:46 |

| Ryen | delinquentme: In terminal type in 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' | 19:47 |
| LordDragon | slooksterpsv, does -t hfplus need to be first? is the -ro flag correct? | 19:47 |
| Ryen | delinquentme: It shouold be "unlocked" | 19:47 |

| === Guest51435 is now known as Tricia | ||
| Gnea | hiexpo: maybe, did you try a previous kernel? | 20:49 |
| banished | ubuntu: ah, your hard drive is ok, SQUASHFS error means that your ubuntu image is damaged | 20:49 |
| Gnea | justine777w: aaaaah - that could be one part of the solution, I was referring to the other link. one sec | 20:50 |
| banished | moshe: but why busybox then? | 20:50 |
| Daniel1 | fubarru: Where you saw that message? | 20:50 |
| fubarru | in BIOS | 20:50 |
| fubarru | attempting to boot the USB stick | 20:50 |
| hiexpo | nah Gnea fixing to chage to gentoo anyways / > just was wondering | 20:50 |
| moshe | Because grub lads the kernel and it gets me into this shell | 20:50 |
| Gnea | justine777w: yeah, get i386 | 20:50 |
| Braber01 | Every time I try to compile the packages It says I have to install some other things, and where can I find these packages | 20:50 |
| ubuntu | :D that one is from ubuntu servers, where can i find one thats working?? or just download again that one and check crc? | 20:50 |
| justine777w | gnea: then after that. do what it says at the end of the paragraph? | 20:51 |
| cozziemoto | Braber01, ` which package is this? | 20:51 |
| banished | moshe: ah, then there is something wrong - are you instaling from the CD? | 20:51 |

| ubottu | Braber01: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 20:51 |
| Braber01 | not sure | 20:51 |
| Gnea | justine777w: yeah, the libstd++ is just one part of it, then you'll need the actual driver itself | 20:51 |
| fubarru | daniel1: what can I do | 20:51 |
| cozziemoto | Braber01, well first thing to try is to sudo apt-get build-dep nameofpackage | 20:51 |
| justine777w | okay but which one under north america do i choose? http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libstdc++5/download | 20:51 |
| Daniel1 | fubarru: Is evident. You don't have the User Interface Manager | 20:51 |
| moshe | USB which indopied the whole iso into and grubed it | 20:52 |
| banished | ubuntu: check the md5 hash, maybe your download was aborted early | 20:52 |
| Gnea | justine777w: whichever one delivers | 20:52 |
| cozziemoto | Braber01, if it is sourced in the repository it will install the dependencies | 20:52 |
| Daniel1 | fubarru: Can you tell me the content of that usb? | 20:52 |

| jeltsch | Any idea why this happened and how to get it back? | 20:52 |
| Gnea | justine777w: they're all good, so they should all work. if one is being slow, cancel and try another | 20:52 |
| Daniel1 | deviantp: what? | 20:52 |
| cozziemoto | Braber01, however if it is not....then the read out in the terminal should give you an idea of what dependecies are needed and you can get those via synaptic package manger | 20:52 |
| jeltsch | I mean the icon in the top bar to control the volume. ;-) | 20:53 |
| justine777w | gnea: i already had that installed | 20:53 |

| deviantp | Daniel1, : sorry i thought you asked for the model of card as well | 20:53 |

| xangua | !panels | or reset panels jeltsch | 20:54 |

| Dr_Willis | cemc: logout and at the gdm screen tell it to use the one entry that uses .xsession (i forget what its called) that should save that as the default in the .dmrc file so its used every time | 20:58 |
| jrib | cemc: make it .xsession your default before using autologin I guess. Or just logout and then do change your preference | 20:58 |
| banished | deviantp: is it an n only network? | 20:58 |
| deviantp | i know its a wiki and there can be mistakes, but still | 20:58 |

| moshe | Daniel1: My bios is fine it's a new computer | 21:00 |
| aroman | xangua, :) Because over at #macosx they are convinced that Ubuntu can't talk to the Mac SMC and therefore can't manage the processor properly causing damage and death.. | 21:00 |

| ubottu | root_: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 21:05 |
| fubarru | why does ubuntu.com recommend it then | 21:05 |
| moshe | Jordan_U: grub loads the kernel which is in Casper then it yells something about the root device and gives me busybox shell | 21:05 |
| xangua | root_: not a good idea being as root | 21:05 |

| Gnea | justine777w: I'm not sure then.. you said there's an error_log, which I thought was error.log, so I figured you knew what you're doing on your end with the real file | 21:07 |

| justine777w | gnea: no I am sorry. I do not know what I am doing. | 21:08 |
| ruro_ | Gnea: also hardware address | 21:08 |
| Name141 | To wipe the hard drive, I'd have to install wipe on the live CD ? Or could I use wipe -r /dev/hda while booted? | 21:08 |
| kneaux | banished, do you work with more than four? | 21:08 |
| Gnea | ruro_: pretty sure it's the ip address | 21:08 |
| moshe | Jordan_U: what I did is i loaded up pclinux then mounted the iso and cp -a * to USB | 21:08 |
| Name141 | Or whatever switches fallowing | 21:08 |
| Name141 | following | 21:08 |
| Daniel1 | Name141: That's impossible. | 21:08 |
| banished | kneaux: what issues do you have with more than four? | 21:09 |
| Name141 | Daniel1: OK. so I need to boot via the LiveCD then ? | 21:09 |
| Gnea | justine777w: alright, let's try again then. what is the output of this: ls -l /var/log/cups/error_log | 21:09 |
| Name141 | Then install wipe afterwords | 21:09 |
| kneaux | banished, it won't let me | 21:09 |

| Jordan_U | moshe: Then you'll need to provide a root= kernel argument so that the initramfs doesn't look for its files on /dev/cdrom. | 21:09 |

| banished | kneaux: but I just noticed the same | 21:10 |
| kneaux | isn't it? | 21:10 |
| Name141 | happyface: something like shred -xuvz /dev/hda | 21:10 |
| kneaux | it used to work | 21:10 |
| Name141 | ? | 21:10 |
| moshe | Jordan_U: When i give root arg it crashes | 21:10 |
| Gnea | justine777w: okay, it is 2518 bytes, which means it has text in it. however, it does not have world-read permissions, so we need to make sure that you can read it. what is the output of the id command? | 21:10 |
| Daniel1 | Name141: If you want to do a low level format, you can do it from the live CD | 21:10 |
| kneaux | banished, i think you were allowed to in jaunty | 21:10 |
| banished | kneaux: maybe ask in #gnome what they might have thought… | 21:10 |

| moshe | Jordan_U: I dont have any other iso nor internet connection | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | moshe: Rather than extracting the whole contents of the iso, extract just the kernel and initrd, then copy the iso itself to the drive (if it's not there already). | 21:12 |
| justine777w | gnea: no problem..I am just glad it is working. | 21:12 |

| Gnea | justine777w: :) | 21:12 |
| ruro_ | Gnea: my objective is to disable broadcasting | 21:13 |
| Gnea | ruro_: yes, but WHY? | 21:13 |
| Name141 | Seems I'm having trouble due to rain. | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | moshe: Then pass the kernel parameter "iso-scan/filename=/path/to/ubuntu.iso" | 21:13 |
| banished | moshe: have you tried boot options like noacpi? there should be a list if you press shift on boot | 21:13 |
| ruro_ | Gnea: because I fear for my security | 21:13 |
| Name141 | happyface: so that'd work ? | 21:13 |
| IamReck | k | 21:13 |
| guntbert | Daniel1: the dd command you gave is in no way a "low level format" ... | 21:13 |
| Gnea | ruro_: then: sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 21:13 |
| Gnea | ruro_: seriously. | 21:13 |
| Daniel1 | guntbert: and how is a low level format!? | 21:14 |
| Gnea | ruro_: if you fear that much for your security, disconnect it from the network altogether. | 21:14 |
| banished | ruro_: how would broadcasting affect your security? | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | Daniel1: usually you need specialized tools from the hd manufacturere to do a proper "low level" format | 21:14 |
| moshe | Jordan_U: What path shoukd i give since it wont mountanything | 21:14 |
| ruro_ | banished: broacasting sends packets to every individual on the network | 21:14 |
| Gnea | ruro_: because BROADCAST is a basic, required function for network layers to operate. | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | moshe: Do you only have the one external drive or do you also have an extra flash drive or something else? If you only have one drive you may have some problems installing to the partition containing the iso you're booting from. | 21:14 |
| Gnea | ruro_: it only sends meaningless data, not personal data. | 21:15 |
| guntbert | Daniel1: no done at all - harddisks hide their inner structure nowadays :-) (may I PM you?) | 21:15 |
| guntbert | *not | 21:15 |
| Daniel1 | erUSUL: Ok. | 21:15 |
| Jordan_U | moshe: The path relative to the root of the partition. It will mount and search all partitions for a file with that path. | 21:15 |
| Gnea | ruro_: all a broadcast is saying is "hi, I'm on the network" so that it is able to talk to other computers on a whim | 21:15 |
| Shiny_ | gnea or something: How make it if its overheat? | 21:15 |
| ruro_ | Gnea: what about multicast | 21:15 |

| ubottu | Psyclone: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ | 22:08 |

| xbonesx | Does anyone know what emerald is? I noticed that one of my themes came with a emerald folder? | 22:09 |
| ppq | xbonesx, it's a fancy windows manager | 22:09 |
| Jordan_U | moshe: Ok, "sudo apt-get install gdisk" and "sudo gdisk /dev/sda". I'm betting you have an msdos (also know as "mbr") partition table and a GUID partition table (GPT). | 22:09 |

| mamece2 | what the difference between UNE and desktop edition? anyone | 22:10 |
| banished | lenneth: dmesg | pastebinit | 22:10 |
| xbonesx | ppq: ah so i need to use gstyle to install or can i manually isntall those files myself? | 22:10 |
| duffydack | elijah, the default mouse properties doesnt disable it truly. | 22:10 |
| ppq | xbonesx, when you dont use emerald you dont need an emerald theme | 22:10 |
| KabukiOrigin | xbonesx: Just looked up gstyle - neat. It's probably fine. Check it after a restart and make sure it's clean, then forget about it. | 22:10 |
| ilovefairuz | kneaux: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts .. manipulate this gconf key and you would still have all other gnome settings including per window layouts | 22:11 |
| ppq | mamece2, the netbook edition is better when you have a low resolution, for example 1024x600 | 22:11 |
| kneaux | ilovefairuz, you're a lifesaver | 22:11 |
| moshe | There is no package disk? | 22:11 |

| ppq | mamece2, in the standard ubuntu desktop there are some dialogues that are too big to fit on such a little resolution | 22:12 |
| ilovefairuz | !info gdisk | moshe | 22:12 |
| xbonesx | ppq: so emerald is something that can be activated using compiz? | 22:12 |

| banished | xbonesx: you can use emerald as an alternative to your gnome decorator when using compiz, but it's not there by default | 22:13 |
| ppq | xbonesx, it has to be installed first. do you know what a windows manager does? | 22:13 |
| mamece2 | ppq, so the change is only in the resolution? i've got a regular laptop, could desktop run normally in a regular size laptop? i just dont like the tabs, it looks childish | 22:13 |

| mamece2 | ppq, ok theres the problem i already did a partition and installed UNE, if i install the desktop version will i lose everything ive done in UNE? | 22:14 |
| ppq | mamece2, it's good for notebooks too. the "desktop" thing is just to make clear that it is a live-cd | 22:14 |
| kneaux | ilovefairuz, how do you edit the keys from the command line | 22:14 |
| xbonesx | ppq: ya ive been messing with the themes, i downloaded some packages from gnome art .com and opened them and started studying the xml files, learning how it sets up the themes... is that what you asking? | 22:15 |
| Zarred | Hi guys, Can I ask a quick kinda weird question? | 22:15 |
| ppq | mamece2, you can simply switch the interface. just install ubuntu-desktop package | 22:15 |
| blue_anna | banished, that does tell me the kernel driver, but is there any guarantee that it is the Xorg driver as well? | 22:15 |

| banished | xbonesx: yes | 22:16 |
| banished | !emerald | xbonesx | 22:16 |
| ubottu | xbonesx: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 22:16 |
| ppq | mamece2, for later there's also an applet that helps switching between the normal ubuntu and the netbook interface | 22:16 |

| ubottu | rodrigoValdivia: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 22:41 |
| intrader | rodrigoValdivia, algo se le ofrece? | 22:41 |
| sweetpi | mkanyicy: echo "foo" >&2 | 22:41 |
| lenneth | Now, a question to you all. I have remote viewing setup on my Ubuntu box. Whenever I try to realvnc into it, its REALLY laggy. This box has great processing power, so I dont think thats the issue. | 22:41 |
| ppq | dk12548, i meant fdisk -l where l is a small L | 22:41 |
| d_v | god damned Windows froze... anyway, I have a question... what version of Ubuntu you propose to install on the old box (Celeron566/256MB/4GB)? | 22:41 |
| dk12548 | oh | 22:42 |
| rodrigoValdivia | si | 22:42 |
| mkanyicy | sweetpi, that does not work | 22:42 |
| savanah_14 | banished I will try it; but its not an image its just .avi file Its a cheer competition and I know its probably dumb to you guys but important to me but thank you for your help | 22:42 |

| savanah_14 | Hey thankyou everyone | 22:43 |
| dk12548 | hello | 22:44 |
| === Mortchek_ is now known as Mortchek | ||
| ppq | dk12548, you installed ubuntu on a seperate partition | 22:44 |
| ppq | dk12548, not on the windows partition | 22:44 |
| dk12548 | is it so :-[ | 22:44 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: you still here? | 22:45 |
| sweetpi | mkanyicy: what makes you think it didnt work? | 22:45 |
| mkanyicy | sweetpi, echo blah >&2 2> /dev/null was not silent | 22:45 |
| lenneth | Now, a question to you all. I have remote viewing setup on my Ubuntu box. Whenever I try to realvnc into it, its REALLY laggy. This box has great processing power, so I dont think thats the issue. <-- any ideas? | 22:45 |
| dk12548 | ppq how can i figure it ? i dont know how to read a ubuntu partition table | 22:45 |
| banished | lenneth: the network bandwith is probably the issue | 22:46 |
| enyawix | anyone have issue with the install cd not booting? I checked the md5sum | 22:46 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: yes, let me recap - you have three machines, a, b, and c...A cannot connect to b and c, right | 22:46 |
| ppq | dk12548, sda1-sda10 are the partitions on your disk | 22:46 |
| lenneth | banished: the machine is next to my foot | 22:46 |
| lenneth | banished its connected over LAN | 22:46 |
| dk12548 | ppq: ok | 22:46 |
| dk12548 | ppq: and how can i figure out that window is not on the same partition | 22:47 |
| Veliouras | hello, i just installed 10.10 on a netbook but i do not have a menu and i can not work with programs, i just see a photo on my desktop. help please | 22:47 |
| ppq | dk12548, it just isn't. simply because it's impossible to install ubuntu and windows on the same partition. | 22:47 |
| bazhang | Veliouras, #ubuntu+1 for that | 22:47 |
| mkanyicy | sweetpi, so that means that 'echo blah >&2' goes to stdin only | 22:47 |
| greezmunkey | lenneth: vnc is slow, but you can reduce what is sent over the network like removing wall papers, changing how it polls objects, etc. play with it to get the best performance. | 22:47 |
| Veliouras | ok thanks | 22:47 |
| goodmami | hi, should a standard maverick install include translations for en_gb, en_au, en_za, etc.. I think I only selected "English" and set my timezone to a US zone. | 22:48 |
| dk12548 | ppq: i understand but still a problem, i want to install ubuntu once again by deleting all this one | 22:48 |
| bazhang | goodmami, #ubuntu+1 for maverick | 22:48 |
| bfrank | hi everyone, what would cause a ubuntu machine to not get an ipv4 address? | 22:48 |
| goodmami | bazhang: oh right, sorry about that | 22:48 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: B is the samba host (vm). A (vm) cannot connect to B. C (vm) can connect to B | 22:48 |
| dk12548 | ppq:so how can i know which partiotion to delete to remove whole ubuntu? | 22:49 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: Sorry, MachineC is a physical machine and can connect to B (vm that is hosting the Samba shares) | 22:49 |
| ppq | dk12548, just have a look ok what you nopasted | 22:49 |
| nervous | hi | 22:49 |
| ppq | dk12548, http://paste.ubuntu.com/500590/ sda9 and sda10 are your linux partitions | 22:49 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: did you create a samba user on B for A? | 22:50 |
| dk12548 | ppq: i am looking at it, now how can i delete sda 9 and sda 10? | 22:50 |
| xilo | anyone know an alternative to agnclient | 22:50 |
| jham | popcorn | 22:50 |
| dk12548 | ppq: u know there is no sda on windows. it shows only 6 partition there | 22:51 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: I created a generic samba user. See this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ | 22:51 |
| ppq | dk12548, if you want to re-install ubuntu, you should boot the ubuntu cd (or usb) and do the partitioning by ourself. you just have to set sda9 to be mounted as / and sda10 as swap | 22:51 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: then I connect from the client machine as: smbclient -L IP_address -U samba_user | 22:52 |
| dk12548 | do it delete this ubuntu? | 22:52 |
| dk12548 | ppq: can't i install 10.10 version? | 22:53 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: copy the error again please | 22:53 |
| ppq | dk12548, it will ask if you want to format the selected partitions - just say yes | 22:53 |
| dk12548 | oh | 22:53 |
| ppq | dk12548, of course you can but you should stick to 10.04 until 10.10 is released. per definition its not stable yet | 22:53 |
| upgradeFail | good Idea, I'll google the failed upgrade. | 22:53 |
| intrader | ppq, a related question - I have a Thinkpad where I installed ubuntu in the ntfs partition - how does this work? | 22:54 |
| savanah_14 | while i am waiting on devede to download does anyone want to chat | 22:54 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: smbclient -L ip_address -U user | 22:54 |

| [zaf]-Coral | Hi ladies/gentleman, I am wanting to know how the aptitude scoring works | 22:54 |
| astrojp | Is there something like Textmate on Ubuntu? I already use Vim atm. | 22:54 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: Sorry, double post. | 22:54 |
| dk12548 | ppq:i know they will be much stabler than this one, it has become a pain in the ass for me:( | 22:54 |
| ppq | intrader, it's not possible. please nopaste your 'sudo fdisk -l' too | 22:55 |
| dk12548 | i performed lots of experiments on this one | 22:55 |
| ppq | dk12548, a fresh install of 10.04 will be fine | 22:55 |
| d_v | no more icechat... | 22:56 |
| dk12548 | ppq: so i have to chose custum installation during the install isnt it? | 22:56 |
| d_v | this this is piece of crap :/ | 22:56 |
| ppq | dk12548, do you use the graphical installer= | 22:56 |
| dk12548 | ppq: yes | 22:56 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: Have a look at the the output when I add some debugging to the connect: http://pastebin.com/ryeL4HTX | 22:56 |
| Cassull | intrader: it's impossible to install ubuntu under windows without even wubi ;) | 22:56 |
| d_v | ok, one more time, I hope the last one, since I'm on a debian server, so nothing should freeze now... | 22:57 |
| [zaf]-Coral | Anybody ? Does any1 know how the aptitude scoring works | 22:57 |
| intrader | ppq, I will do so - the starting point for the install was XP - then the install installed grub and I currently can boot either OS | 22:57 |
| [zaf]-Coral | other than positive is good and negative is bad in general | 22:57 |
| mkanyicy | astrojp, what is textmate? | 22:57 |
| dk12548 | i dont know how to install using a command line interface | 22:57 |
| ppq | dk12548, at some point during the installation progress (i'm sure it's after you selected your language) it will present you a fance window with a recommended partitioning | 22:57 |
| d_v | what version of Ubuntu should I install on an old box with Celeron 566, 256MB RAM and 4GB HDD? | 22:57 |
| ppq | dk12548, at that point you can say "no, i do it by myself" | 22:57 |
| _DGM_ | d_v: maybe 7 or something.. though i'd look for a lighter distribution | 22:58 |
| astrojp | mkanyicy: textmate is an text editor for macs. | 22:58 |
| dk12548 | ppq: thanks bro for that info. i will try to do it:) | 22:58 |
| ppq | intrader, ubuntu-installer created another partition for ubuntu. it's NOT the same your windows is on :) | 22:58 |
| ppq | dk12548, np | 22:58 |
| upgradeFail | Nice to know that ubuntu upgrades fail just as hard as windows upgrades. if not worse. | 22:59 |
| mkanyicy | astrojp, ok, there is gedit if you are using gnome, kate if you are using kubuntu or mousepad if you are using xubuntu | 22:59 |
| ppq | dk12548, you confused me with that ubuntu-and-windows-one-partition-thung | 22:59 |
| dk12548 | ppq: also isnt there a way to reinstall all the system files of ubuntu | 22:59 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: can you ping the macine you are trying to connect to? | 22:59 |
| d_v | I though about it, DGM, but it'll be a comp for an older person for web browsing only, and I need something pretty easy and straight-forward... | 22:59 |
| dk12548 | ppq: i mean without formatting | 22:59 |
| d_v | I tried to install 7.10, but it gavce me the finger :/ | 22:59 |
| astrojp | I think I found something (http://redcareditor.com/) but it needs Java. I don't have Java on here, what's the easiest way to install it on Ubuntu. | 23:00 |
| mkanyicy | astrojp, kate has advanced features, gnome isnt bad either, mousepad is fast and simple | 23:00 |
| dk12548 | ppq: cause i know formatting is not the slolution i can have this problem once again in the near futerre | 23:00 |
| dk12548 | future | 23:00 |
| Cassull | d_v: lubuntu 10.10 | 23:00 |
| guntbert | savanah_14: this channel is for support conversations only - but there is #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 23:00 |
| savanah_14 | thanks guntbert | 23:00 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: yup, no problems. I've disabled firewall, and I've commented out anything in hosts.allow and hosts.deny | 23:00 |
| Zarred | Has anyone ran into the Hard drive light always being on problem in Ubuntu 10.04? | 23:01 |
| ppq | dk12548, no, because the config and everything remains | 23:01 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: yup = yes I can ping the IP, and I can also ssh into it so the services are fine | 23:01 |
| ppq | dk12548, and that's what's messed up | 23:01 |
| d_v | Cassull: are you sure it will work on a crap like that? it's really old box, at least 10y old... | 23:01 |
| xilo | anyone know an alternative to agnclient | 23:01 |
| RondoRaven | hi what file do I edit to keep acpi=off from being removed despite changing kernels or upgrading? | 23:01 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: let me check my smb.conf... | 23:01 |
| dk12548 | ppq: but then i would say windows is far more better than linux :(( | 23:01 |
| |multipass| | are there any problems with KDE is GNOME better at some things? | 23:02 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: kind of you, thanks | 23:02 |
| ppq | dk12548, this is your opinion. :) | 23:02 |
| kazagistar | I have a netbook with no CD drive... can I use an SD card instead of a usb flash drive as the installation medium? | 23:02 |
| ppq | you can like whatever you want | 23:02 |
| Cassull | d_v: np, lubuntu is a realy economicall distri | 23:02 |
| dk12548 | ppq: yeah | 23:02 |
| _DGM_ | kazagistar: yes you can :) i can confirm it works fine | 23:02 |

| Psyclone | i am having trouble reading a file off of a dvd, it says cannot read from resource, what do i do? | 23:02 |
| d_v | ok, thanks a lot, Cass, I'll try that right away | 23:02 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: while I do that, check in /var/log/samba - see if there is an entry for the machine that is trying to connect... | 23:03 |
| Cassull | d_v: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu | 23:03 |
| matt_sm | anybody know how i can install the drivers for my alps touchpad? | 23:03 |
| _DGM_ | kazagistar: as long as the netbook wants to boot from sd its fine. However.. it might spam you with a lot of "cant read" stuff.. you can safely ignore it or disable "floppy disk emulation" in the bios.. either way it will install just fine | 23:03 |
| kazagistar | _DGM_: Ok, I will try it then, thanks | 23:03 |
| Cassull | d_v: np, you are welcome | 23:03 |
| dk12548 | i think i should go for fedora rather than ubuntu :( | 23:03 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: I will do that. Also, here is the [global] section of smb.conf on my machine if it helps: http://pastebin.com/VEsuQuLs | 23:03 |
| d_v | great, that's just what I needed :) | 23:03 |
| ppq | dk12548, ubuntu isn't designed for risky experiments, it's rather designed to be stable once it's configured correctly | 23:03 |
| dk12548 | but i want to do experiment to learn | 23:04 |
| d_v | thanks again, and have a great day/evening/night ;) | 23:04 |
| ppq | dk12548, fedora is more bleeding-edge but also not so stable. ok, if you want to learn- and if you have *lots* of time - LFS is for you :) | 23:04 |
| dk12548 | ppq: u know i installed kdm and since then the problem started | 23:05 |
| dk12548 | what is LFS? | 23:05 |

| nOStahl | how many cycles of a new laptop battery before the power meter outputs the true capacity? | 23:06 |
| ppq | intrader, oh, ok, then you installed with wubi. this means that you have a file in windows that contains an ext4 filesystem. ubuntu is installed on it. this means: ubuntu and windows on the same partition but not in the same filesystem | 23:07 |
| carlosg | the sound in a pavilion dv6000 is crash | 23:07 |
| carlosg | someone has the same problem? | 23:07 |
| intrader | ppq, df shows a /host system on /dev/sda1 | 23:07 |
| dk12548 | ppq: isnt it possible that i extract all files from the iso of ubuntu and just replace is in somewhere | 23:07 |
| c0rrupt0r | Anyone know if there is an Alternative to Jackd ? | 23:07 |
| ppq | dk12548, no, it's not, this will totally break your system | 23:08 |
| intrader | ppq, it looks like ubuntu is using ntfs | 23:08 |
| sweetpi | mkanyicy: you should have said what you wanted to do.. "command &>/dev/null" will do what you want | 23:08 |
| ppq | intrader, type 'mount' - there you see what's the filesystem of / | 23:08 |
| dk12548 | ppq: u told me to keep my sda9 as / and sda as swap would the installed ask me that? | 23:09 |
| dk12548 | installer * | 23:09 |
| intrader | ppq, /host/ubuntu/disks/too.disk on / type ext3 ----> not ntfs - stand corrected | 23:09 |
| dk12548 | anyways thanks for the help ppq | 23:10 |

| dk12548 | see ya | 23:10 |
| ppq | dk12548, you have to enter the partitioning programm during installation as i said. np | 23:10 |
| [zaf]-Coral | anybody ? | 23:10 |

| [zaf]-Coral | 1359 peeps ... nobody know anything about apt scoring ? | 23:11 |
| mkanyicy | sweetpi, what i want to do is to echo text to stderr output without to stdout. stderr is 2> and stdout is 1> or just > so if I silence 2> by /dev/null, then I should not get anything printed on terminal | 23:11 |
| ppq | intrader, np | 23:11 |
| guntbert | !patience | [zaf]-Coral | 23:11 |

| [zaf]-Coral | guntbert, 5 min or so between my q's .. I think that is pretty reasonable considering the amount of peeps in the chan .. questions get lost easily | 23:12 |
| ppq | enyawix, 10.04.1 is just an updated 10.04 | 23:12 |
| mkanyicy | sweetpi, so, any ideas now? | 23:12 |
| sweetpi | mkanyicy: I think your test case is just wrong. "echo foo 1>&2>&2>/dev/null | 23:12 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: let me try making a few changes accordingly. Unfortunately, not much luck with adding hosts allow yet | 23:12 |
| moshe | Jordan_U: cant you hold it won't loadup again trying to fix | 23:13 |
| guntbert | [zaf]-Coral: make it more towards 10 minutes and drop the " 1359 peeps ... nobody know " attitude :-) | 23:13 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: you restarted samba after editing, right?? | 23:13 |
| sweetpi | mkanyicy: which would be the same as &>/dev/null | 23:13 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: I sure hope. service smbd restart. I think in 10.04, it uses upstart, so I couldn't run /etc/init.d/samba restart | 23:14 |
| greezmunkey | judgepg: either should work | 23:14 |
| xbonesx | anyone familiar with emerald and would be willing to help me out... | 23:15 |
| c0rrupt0r | Is there any Alternative instead of using Jackd? | 23:15 |
| intrader | Anyone, GtkPerf slow or fast? on my Dell/Inspiron 8200 has gotten much slower in ubuntu 10.04- on thinkpad on 9.04, I get 23.75 | 23:15 |

| greezmunkey | judgepg: download and install wireshark into the VM samba host, see if you can run that against the virtual NIC to see what is going on "on the wire" That may give a clue as well. | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | mkanyicy: sweetpi is correct, to be a valid test you need to run the command in a subshell, like "(echo test >&2) 2> /dev/null" | 23:16 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: I will do that next. I suspect it may have something to do with it being a virtualbox vm | 23:16 |
| judgepg | greezmunkey: seems strange that physical machines can get in, but a vm cannot. It's using a bridged IP from the host | 23:17 |
| * gnubu test | 23:17 | |
| mkanyicy | sweetpi, Jordan_U thanks a lot good people, and Jordan_U that test case confirmed it all ... IT WORKS! | 23:17 |

| slooksterpsv | how is it crashing then? | 23:31 |
| SteveThing | slooksterpsv, it just hard locks when "processing triggers for python-support" | 23:31 |
| slooksterpsv | SteveThing so you can't do anything on the computer? | 23:31 |
| SteveThing | slooksterpsv, correct | 23:31 |

| SteveThing | slooksterpsv, thank you. I will try again... Is there any way to force a checksum after package download? | 23:35 |
| TheBlownFuse | its invite only sgeo | 23:35 |

| Sgeo | Register? | 23:35 |

| Sgeo | Well, to ##freebsd | 23:36 |
| SteveThing | slooksterpsv, hmm, that would be a nice feature to have | 23:36 |
| slooksterpsv | SteveThing - there is sudo apt-get check - which checks for broken dependencies | 23:36 |

| slooksterpsv | SteveThing - now try to install it again sudo apt-get install gns3 | 23:37 |

| moshe | How much swap should i set for reg use? | 23:43 |

| gnubu | I'm on a 10.04 pc which I just started up after not using it for a long time. I need to download lots of updates but my dialup modem is too slow. Is there a way to create a list I can take to the wifi place and download just the files on a usb stick w/ wget? | 23:43 |
| MashPotato | elijah: whereever I like? :D but I guess you mean where you host it. I've been using github, and it's pretty much the best you'd get | 23:43 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: you need to be even more specific then that.. it depends on what your'e trying to compile | 23:44 |
| MashPotato | mooshimuushi: what exactly are you trying to build? | 23:44 |
| ortsvorsteher | !swap | moshe | 23:44 |
| ubottu | moshe: 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 | 23:44 |
| mooshimuushi | wormux-0.8 | 23:44 |
| elijah | MashPotato: No, I mean best practice on your local computer | 23:44 |
| xbonesx | what do i type to get rid of installed packages that arent needed anymore, but not get rid of the packages that were downloaded and stored in /var/ directory? | 23:44 |
| moshe | i know what swap is, i have 4gb which is alot... so set swap to 4gb? | 23:44 |
| MashPotato | elijah: cd /your/local/directory; touch foo; git init; git add foo; # voila? | 23:44 |
| marios | can anyone help me with airodump ? | 23:45 |
| ppq | moshe, does your ram usage ever went above 2gb? | 23:45 |
| ortsvorsteher | moshe, yes, i think 4GB of swap will be enough. | 23:45 |
| moshe | yes it went over 2gb | 23:45 |
| elijah | MashPotato: Like, somebody was showing me how to install the Android SDK and we put it in /opt/Android and same with the JDK etc. | 23:45 |
| MashPotato | mooshimuushi: wormux is in the repositories, why do you try to build it manually? | 23:45 |
| moshe | sometimes i get over 70% mem usage | 23:45 |
| ppq | moshe, ok then you probably will need full 4gb swap | 23:45 |
| MashPotato | elijah: yes, but what's the problem? | 23:45 |
| _DGM_ | moshe: as long as you dont reach 100 you're fine really | 23:46 |
| MashPotato | mooshimuushi: sudo aptitude install wormux | 23:46 |
| elijah | MashPotato: Somebody else asked a while back and someone said something about putting it outside teh home directory and sym linking it, not sure why but maybe something to do with updates | 23:46 |
| mooshimuushi | MashPotato: Right now the internet is capped. So I got it unmetered (normal download speed) from Internode (My ISP). | 23:46 |
| elijah | MashPotato: I was just wanting to know the best practice | 23:46 |
| xbonesx | does anyone know how to get rid of packages that are installed but not need anymore because of the removal of programs? | 23:46 |
| MashPotato | elijah: can't really agree, my android-sdk and ndk reside in $HOME/opt instead of /opt, and it works quite well | 23:46 |

| trel | or even where to find acroread? | 23:50 |
| MashPotato | mooshimuushi: right, the code is pretty much broken, if wormux uses a bugtracker, try to report it as a bug | 23:50 |
| trel | I mean the plugin version for firefox? | 23:50 |
| xbonesx | trijntje: will that remove the packages from the /var/cache/apt/archive folder? | 23:50 |
| ppq | trel, i guess it's in canonical's partner reoisitory | 23:50 |
| moshe | ppq it did work for me before = | 23:50 |
| trel | ppq, how do I enable the partner repo? | 23:50 |
| xbonesx | cuz i still want to keep the downloaded packages just remove them from the system... | 23:51 |
| elijah | MashPotato: Thanks for the education | 23:51 |
| mooshimuushi | MashPotato: So it isn't my computers fault. It's the file that I downloaded? | 23:51 |

| ppq | moshe, ok, nevermind. newer games wont work | 23:51 |
| BLZbubba | "Handling stopped event" | 23:51 |
| BLZbubba | and then the boot process freezes | 23:51 |
| moshe | ppq yeah newer games wont work. | 23:51 |
| trijntje | xbonesx, I dont know, I only know it removes packages that were installed as dependencies of other packages | 23:51 |
| MashPotato | elijah: are you being sarcastic? I thought it was pretty obvious, but I don't mind to tell people what they like to know :P | 23:51 |
| MashPotato | mooshimuushi: yes, it's the fault of wormux, not yours | 23:52 |
| ppq | trel, put this in your /etc/apt/sources.list in a new line: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner | 23:52 |
| ppq | trel, then run 'sudo apt-get update' and search for acroread again | 23:52 |

| Dice-Man | slooksterpsv, i want the basics about compiling different sources | 23:53 |
| Member15 | -.- | 23:53 |
| slooksterpsv | Dice-Man do you have a specific item that you're compiling? | 23:53 |
| Dice-Man | oh no | 23:53 |
| Member15 | lord envoy | 23:53 |
| Dice-Man | i want "general basics" | 23:54 |
| slooksterpsv | Dice-Man like how to compile this or that, if you download the source? | 23:54 |
| _DGM_ | ./configure make && make install | 23:54 |
| mooshimuushi | Isn't there a website for installing things? | 23:54 |
| Dice-Man | slooksterpsv, yep | 23:54 |
| _DGM_ | but you can generally just read the README file that comes with it for compile instructions | 23:54 |
| mooshimuushi | Something Monkeyblog? | 23:54 |
| _DGM_ | theres no generic way of doing it.. there is make, automake, cmake, custom scripts etc. etc. | 23:54 |
| Dice-Man | hum ok | 23:54 |
| Dice-Man | compiling is not tough stuff | 23:55 |
| slooksterpsv | Dice-Man - _DGM_'s got it that's how you do it - if it doesn't have the configure or makefile or that you have to play it by ear | 23:55 |
| _DGM_ | it really depends on the language used, and the developer itself.. for example compiling second life is totally different from anything i've seen before | 23:55 |
| ppq | often you can use checkinstall instead ok make install, this will install the program in a cleaner way | 23:55 |
| ppq | (you can remove it with dpkg -r or even apt-get later) | 23:56 |
| _DGM_ | i dont make install 90% of the time unless i have to. It keeps my system a lot cleaner | 23:56 |
| slooksterpsv | python is easy, you don't compile python scripts really, just python filename.py | 23:56 |

| _DGM_ | maybe it didnt get a chance to flush the disk cache.. and then it didnt actually write it | 23:58 |

| Dmitriy | yes | 23:58 |
| trel | ppq, that's a good idea.. .thanks for the suggestion! | 23:58 |
| cellardoor-jorna | because linux can read NTFS and just popped a file on there | 23:58 |
| cellardoor-jorna | thats it then | 23:58 |
| cellardoor-jorna | saved in wrong location | 23:58 |
