| mooshimuushi | Dice-Man: There are other style/types of installing. | 00:00 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: thats not so weird.. synaptic is slow as hell.. i use aptitude all the time or just apt-get | 00:00 |
| Dmitriy | windows acts up | 00:00 |
| falling-feather | hey how do i run linuxdc++ in rooihub | 00:00 |

| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: Synaptics is slow? True. I have had some times where it is slow. | 00:01 |
| cellardoor-jorna | Dmitriy: odd, would it be any trouble to re-download and just try again? | 00:01 |
| rww | zo7o: type /join #ubuntu-es | 00:01 |

| kazagistar | I started using UNetBootIn to copy a live cd to a SD card in windows, and it has been running for an hour and is not done... is this normal? | 00:02 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: But I don't really understand the apt-get concept. | 00:02 |
| Dmitriy | is it permissions that interfere? | 00:02 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: whats not to understand about it? | 00:02 |
| zo7o | GRACIAS AHORA SI | 00:02 |
| rww | zo7o: This channel is English-only and not-all-caps-only. | 00:02 |

| ethana2 | I'm trying to share a wifi network between ubuntu machines over a crossover cable; I did what I was supposed to do and it failed | 00:03 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: say your'e trying to install vim.. then you just do sudo apt-get install vim .. whats not to understand | 00:03 |
| Braber01 | um I just switched Keyboards to my g15, and each time I try to use the programmer dvorak or the altGrtn International I can't input anything | 00:03 |
| ethana2 | is ICS hosed in lucid? | 00:03 |
| cellardoor | Dmitriy: right click the file, and click the properties button, then have a look at 'Permissions' should not do this for everything but set each of the 3 boxes to 'Read and Write' if it lets you | 00:03 |
| Dmitriy | ok will try | 00:03 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: But how do you know the name of the file you want to install. It could be different. | 00:03 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: and you can even use tab to search.. so if you type apt-get install vi <TAB><TAB> it will show you all posibilities | 00:03 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: NOW THAT IS USEFUL! | 00:03 |
| unkmar | how can a such horrible failure to upgrade in an LTS release persist for 6 months after the release? | 00:04 |
| gnubu | I need to install 224M of updates but dialup is too slow here. Can I "fetch" these files somewhere else onto a usb stick and bring them back to my PC? | 00:04 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: and then there is good ol' aptitude.. where you can just search by pressing / | 00:04 |
| cellardoor | mooshimuushi: also works for listing and finding files :) | 00:04 |

| lahwran | hey all, I'm in the process of reinstalling a system, I told gparted to resize a heavily-used ext3 partition from about 18Gb to about 9GB, and it had about 8.9GB used - it's taken 5 hours so far - this is to be expected, correct? | 00:15 |
| lahwran | !ask | mightygame | 00:15 |
| ubottu | mightygame: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:15 |
| mightygame | HOW DO I MAKE INDICATOR APPLET IN PANEL TRANSPARENT? | 00:16 |
| mightygame | Using MacBuntu-10.04 theme | 00:16 |
| lahwran | caps | mightygame | 00:16 |
| mkanyicy | lahwran, do not dare to cancel the operation! | 00:16 |
| lahwran | !caps | mightygame | 00:16 |
| ubottu | mightygame: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 00:16 |
| lahwran | mkanyicy: I figured as much | 00:16 |
| mightygame | okay | 00:16 |
| mightygame | sorry | 00:16 |
| rww | lahwran: yes, it's expected | 00:16 |
| mightygame | lahwran: read my question? | 00:16 |
| Dmitriy | you mean that indicator in the top right? | 00:16 |
| mightygame | yes | 00:17 |
| lahwran | lahwran: I know what it's doing, I just didn't expect it to take /this long/ to rearrange the drive | 00:17 |
| rww | lahwran: presumably, it decided to move the partition too. that happens annoyingly often. | 00:17 |
| Dmitriy | i got rid of it | 00:17 |
| mkanyicy | lahwran, I was impatient sometime ago and cancelled the operation and lost most of my data | 00:17 |
| cellardoor | dimago: I am really sorry but I cant see how to do it :/ wait a few moments to see if anyone else gets back to you, then ask again | 00:17 |
| lahwran | wtf I completed my own nick | 00:17 |
| lahwran | mkanyicy: well, I know better than /that/, I just didn't expect it to take /quite/ this long | 00:17 |
| mkanyicy | lahwran, leave it to run overnight, go somewhere and forget about it and let it do to its own thing | 00:17 |
| zuke | anyone to offer some help with adding a mandriva menu entry to grub? | 00:17 |
| mightygame | waiting for answer. | 00:17 |

| Esat | What can i do to edit .class files? | 00:18 |
| tenshinoneko_ | Hello ^^ Anyone knows how to enable Ad-Hoc as Wireless B only? | 00:18 |
| ppq | lahwran, probably this wont work because after resizing only about 100mb will be free. by default, ext3 partitions have 5% reserved space in case the fs is full ans nothing can be deleted. i don't know what happens now when you resize it to such a small size that there are no 5% free space left | 00:18 |
| cellardoor | mightygame: agreed, these people are volunteers, not a call centre | 00:18 |
| lahwran | ppq: gparted will have counted that as used space, unless it's total crap | 00:18 |
| trism | mightygame: would help but don't understand your problem, when I set my panel to transparent, so is the indicator applet | 00:19 |
| lahwran | ppq: and so it wouldn't have let me resize it below the limit that would do that | 00:19 |
| dimago | cellardoor: thanks for trying | 00:19 |
| mightygame | trism: I'm using MacBuntu | 00:19 |
| cellardoor | dimago: anything else thats a problem go ahead and ask, you may have more luck :) | 00:19 |
| mightygame | only my panel turns transparent | 00:19 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | alright, hi people my dvd drive stopped working anyone got any hints? | 00:19 |
| mightygame | nothing else. | 00:19 |
| ppq | lahwran, i hope so | 00:20 |
| lahwran | ppq: also, I gave it about 200MB of buffer space | 00:20 |
| lahwran | just out of habit | 00:20 |
| dugger5688 | AfterHoursCanadi: Try another drive, or boot into a liveCD environment. If it's not working out of the BIOS go buy a new one. | 00:20 |
| Dmitriy | check if there is a plasticky odor | 00:21 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | well it shows itself in bios | 00:21 |
| mightygame | okay | 00:21 |

| mightygame | thanks guys | 00:21 |
| dimago | cellardoor: although I am new to the os I'm feeling my way around, it's a cool sys | 00:21 |

| cellardoor | dugger5688: when that sounds specific to that, probably a fault with that rather tahn ubuntu, so veerything else works? | 00:23 |
| _DGM_ | infoverload: why not use clam? its part of ubuntu | 00:23 |
| Dmitriy | why do you need avg for ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| _DGM_ | if you even really do need a virusscanner at all | 00:23 |
| infoverload | Dmitriy: it's safer isn't it? | 00:23 |
| cellardoor | dugger5688: well* | 00:23 |
| c_ozzie | so, i accidentally did safe removal on a flash drive and now need to remount it, without physical access or rebooting. is it possible? | 00:23 |
| Dmitriy | its not necesary | 00:23 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | so were saying its more then likely my dvd drive thats faulty? | 00:23 |
| _DGM_ | infoverload: if you like scanning for windows virusses on linux.. sure | 00:23 |
| mooshimuushi | yo :D | 00:24 |
| Esat | how can i edit .class files? | 00:24 |
| dugger5688 | AfterHoursCanadi: My first step would be to just grab an Ubuntu liveCD (or any really) and see if the drive works at all. | 00:24 |
| tenshinoneko_ | Hello ^^ Anyone knows how to enable Ad-Hoc as Wireless B only? | 00:24 |

| infoverload | _DGM_: I guess so, but I was just reading this: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/does-ubuntu-linux-really-need-antivirus-software/ | 00:24 |
| cellardoor | c_ozzie: sure, ever used the 'mount' command in a terminal? | 00:24 |
| Dmitriy | i use ubuntu for well over 4 years and still no viruses and no avg | 00:24 |
| dugger5688 | More than likely it's a dead drive, DVD drives are cheap (in price and quality often) | 00:24 |
| unkmar | c_ozzie: if using linux. sure, you can remount. | 00:24 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | ill try that, I don't know where it is but I tried running my windows CD's and it doesn't run off of that | 00:24 |
| cellardoor | unkmar: he means eject | 00:24 |
| moshe | Jordan_U: error no such device b2..... Grub rescue > | 00:24 |
| c_ozzie | unkmar: no, ubuntu 10.04 | 00:24 |
| infoverload | _DGM_: Clam, eh? | 00:24 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | even in boot | 00:24 |
| c_ozzie | it was /dev/sdk, but that device no longer exists | 00:24 |
| infoverload | Dimitriy: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/does-ubuntu-linux-really-need-antivirus-software/ | 00:24 |
| _DGM_ | infoverload: yes i use it on my servers | 00:24 |
| mooshimuushi | :D | 00:25 |
| cellardoor | c_ozzie: mount /dev/sdk /mnt | 00:25 |
| dugger5688 | AfterHoursCanadi, it's dead. Just buy a new one, you can find them for less than $20 | 00:25 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | and I tried a fresh harddrive and put the dvd drive as first boot and master yet still it just shows " unable to find startup disk" | 00:25 |
| cellardoor | c_ozzie: maybe with 'sudo' preceeding that text when you enter the command | 00:25 |
| tim | clamav is great if you don't require on-access scanning | 00:25 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | yea I know I just wanted to make sure first. thanks | 00:25 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | so its not just me who thinks its the dvd drive thats gone now. thanks | 00:26 |
| Dmitriy | i download stuff all the time...i dont use antivirus software on ubuntu | 00:26 |
| AfterHoursCanadi | ill go get one tomorrow | 00:26 |
| unkmar | c_ozzie: if you don't know which /dev it is. sudo fdisk -l It will likely be one of the last items listed. "mount" will tell you what is currently mounted and where. | 00:26 |
| _DGM_ | but again.. why do you need that.. i mean.. the chances of you getting something are reaaaaaaally small. I dont even use an anti virus on windows. Just use your head | 00:26 |
| moshe | Anyway to boot with grub rescue? | 00:26 |
| dugger5688 | You only really need anti virus in Ubuntu if you're dealing with windows users on ur network. That's why an ubuntu fileserver is ideal, keeps windows PCs from talking to eachother. | 00:27 |
| Dmitriy | use firestarter | 00:27 |
| mooshimuushi | This might be an impossible question, but eh. | 00:27 |
| cellardoor | dugger5688: or clam AV | 00:27 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: thats not a question | 00:27 |
| _DGM_ | xD | 00:27 |

| obunto | what part of the installation is left unencrypted after a full disk encryption install using the alternate install CD? | 00:28 |
| Dmitriy | download and use ubuntu servr edition then you wont have to worry about windows on your network | 00:28 |
| _DGM_ | damn i locked myself out from my server.. great | 00:28 |
| mooshimuushi | Not the boot up. Where you wait for the line to go back and fro. | 00:28 |

| mooshimuushi | What if you want to change it into a MAC looking grub/boot up. | 00:30 |
| _DGM_ | but my suggestion would be to not mess with that stuff unless you know what you're doing.. or if you have a live cd at hand to fix anything that might preventyou from booting at all | 00:30 |

| tim | crevox, that makes a block for block copy | 00:31 |

| mooshimuushi | Blinking cursors? | 00:32 |
| c_ozzie | it was mounted on /dev/sdk, I then right clicked it and did "Safely Remove Drive", dd if=usb.img of=/dev/sdk, and it returns "no medium found" | 00:32 |
| erik_ | no | 00:32 |
| Bynw | Dmitriy, i don't believe so | 00:32 |
| mooshimuushi | Wow. I hate to change my cursor. | 00:32 |
| erik_ | the monitor goes into sleep mode | 00:33 |
| mooshimuushi | It takes a long time for me to change my cursor :D | 00:33 |
| tim | c_ozzie, well, what did you expect? | 00:33 |
| erik_ | something to do with new slpash screen | 00:33 |
| divadgnol67 | eric > try booting nofb or something like that. not sure use unix not linux | 00:33 |
| unkmar | tim: he expected the usb.img to magically work. | 00:33 |
| erik_ | why unix | 00:34 |
| mooshimuushi | Sorry if I'm wrong. Can we ask about games in this server? | 00:34 |
| divadgnol67 | why not? | 00:34 |
| Roush427r | Hey, I have a Toshiba Satellite A25 with Ubuntu Lucid on it, and when it turns on, the fans start running really fast and loud and nothing comes on the screen. | 00:34 |
| tim | c_ozzie, if you removed the drive, the expected result would be that you would not be able to write to it | 00:34 |
| erik_ | i want ubuntu | 00:34 |
| Dmitriy | erik, try changing the resolution of the boot screen and use white text on black screen | 00:34 |
| dugger5688 | mooshimuushi: if it's in ubuntu, sure! | 00:34 |
| Roush427r | Can that be a hardware problem? | 00:34 |
| erik_ | how is that done | 00:34 |
| mooshimuushi | Ok then :D | 00:34 |
| divadgnol67 | eric >no problem, what video card do you have | 00:34 |
| erik_ | intel onbaord | 00:35 |
| * unkmar looks around for a fairy, unicorn, and leprachaun. I'll use a Pot to cook up the fairy, unicorn, and leprachaun for a charming stew. | 00:35 | |
| mooshimuushi | Anyone know any good mmorpg games? (for ubuntu of course :D) | 00:35 |
| tim | erik_, the regular ubuntu install CD can be booted into a live system | 00:35 |
| _DGM_ | wow works fine on ubuntu | 00:35 |
| Dmitriy | erik, go to system>startup applications | 00:35 |
| _DGM_ | its all you need really | 00:35 |
| divadgnol67 | great idea tim. eric have you tried the live cd? | 00:35 |
| mooshimuushi | WoW? | 00:35 |
| _DGM_ | yea | 00:35 |
| erik_ | ok | 00:35 |
| aroman | mooshimuushi, Well RuneScape is cross-platform and Guild Wars (Windows) runs perfectly (it's like THE most compatible WINE game). | 00:35 |
| brad_ | does anyone know why I have to run dhclient manually on a friend of mine's ubuntu machine to get it to get an ip address? | 00:36 |
| c_ozzie | tim: the drive is still physically connected to the comptuer, and i'm 40 miles away, i hit the safe remove on accident and need to know if it's possible to force ubuntu to re-detect the drive | 00:36 |
| Rotham | anyone have an idea how much memory do you need to run photoshop cs4 in winXP (inside Vbox) | 00:36 |
| erik_ | it installs then on reboot has the problem | 00:36 |
| mooshimuushi | WoW, Guild Wars and Runescape. | 00:36 |
| Dmitriy | erik, advanced>bootloader menu resolution to something small like 640X480 | 00:36 |
| ehcah | How bad will the performance of a 10.4 desktop running off of a 16GB Sandisk Cruzer pen drive? | 00:36 |
| _DGM_ | aroman: wow runs just as good on wine. blizzard spend a lot of time to make that happen | 00:36 |
| unkmar | brad_: wired or wirelesss? | 00:36 |
| cellardoor | mooshimuushi: WoW | 00:36 |
| divadgnol67 | eric, can you boot another linux and give us the output of dmesg | 00:36 |
| brad_ | wired | 00:36 |
| cellardoor | mooshimuushi: will run under linux fine :) | 00:36 |
| erik_ | how im not newbie | 00:36 |
| tim | ehcah, bearable, probably | 00:36 |
| aroman | _DGM_, Actually? Why not release a Linux native client..? | 00:36 |
| _DGM_ | actually a lot of games run fine under wine nowadays if not just a little slow | 00:36 |
| ehcah | just bearable? | 00:36 |
| unkmar | brad_: did you connect the wire before or after booting? | 00:36 |
| mooshimuushi | cellardoor: roger :D | 00:36 |
| brad_ | before booting | 00:37 |
| brad_ | rebooting has no effect | 00:37 |
| _DGM_ | aroman: because then they have to change platform specific code.. this saves them time and has the same effect | 00:37 |
| mooshimuushi | WoW, I have to find a private server. | 00:37 |
| divadgnol67 | sorry! ubuntu should be a great place to start. I like tim's idea about booting into the live enviroment | 00:37 |
| _DGM_ | nooo play on the real ones man | 00:37 |
| mooshimuushi | Runescape...I gave up. | 00:37 |
| _DGM_ | private servers suck so bad | 00:37 |
| aroman | _DGM_, Intesting. I didn't know that. But I've never played wow :) | 00:37 |
| mooshimuushi | Guild Wars? | 00:37 |
| cellardoor | mooshimuushi: you need to run it with WINE though | 00:37 |
| mooshimuushi | Private Servers are free :D | 00:37 |
| unkmar | brad_: I assume gnome with its network manager? Is network enabled and not set to a static IP? | 00:37 |
| aroman | mooshimuushi, I've played GW before, it's fun. | 00:37 |
| brad_ | correct | 00:38 |
| brad_ | set to use dhcp for ipv4 | 00:38 |
| erik_ | look im new to linux | 00:38 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: they're also crappy, buggy and missing a lot of stuff | 00:38 |
| mooshimuushi | cellardoor: Got it all under control :D | 00:38 |
| Roush427r | Hey, I have a Toshiba Satellite A25 with Ubuntu Lucid on it, and when it turns on, the fans start running really fast and loud and nothing comes on the screen. Can that be a hardware problem? | 00:38 |
| moshe | Why I cant see the grub menu and os just loads? | 00:38 |
| erik_ | alot of what yur saying is foreign | 00:38 |
| mooshimuushi | aroman: Thank you for the heads up. I'll check it right now. | 00:38 |
| aroman | moshe, Have you set your grub to do that? | 00:38 |
| aroman | mooshimuushi, Yup :) | 00:38 |
| erik_ | im on linux now | 00:38 |
| unkmar | moshe: grub timeout is really short? | 00:38 |
| bazhang | erik_, what version of ubuntu | 00:38 |
| tim | Roush427r, there is no video at all, ever? | 00:38 |
| rww | moshe: hold down shift at boot | 00:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | moshe, you can hold down the shift key as computer starts to get the grub2 menu | 00:39 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: I like to talk for most asians within this world...it's FREE XDD | 00:39 |
| divadgnol67 | eric > what did you do reboot? | 00:39 |
| Bynw | here is what happens in cheese when i goto record video. the cheese window goes black for a few moments then i get to see a still image of whatever was in front of the webcam and when i click stop recording ... cheese locks up and has to be forced quit. i do get an .ogv file 0 bytes in size saved | 00:39 |
| moshe | aroman: No I did not touch anything | 00:39 |
| Roush427r | tim: correct. I think there is by chance it overheated | 00:39 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: i know.. but it doesnt give you the game experience at all :P its soo different.. its not fun at all | 00:39 |
| tim | Roush427r, yeah, sounds like your laptop is broken | 00:39 |
| nimbiotics | how do i make sudo privileges permanent for the life of the terminal session? TIA! | 00:39 |
| aroman | moshe, Did you install updates? Has this always been like this? Details :) | 00:39 |
| * unkmar decides installing debian will eliminate his Ubuntu upgrade problem. | 00:39 | |
| misteralexander | I formatted my external HDD using gparted and now I don't have permissions on the new filesystem . . . i have to sudo everything in terminal to do anything on the drive . . . any idea? | 00:39 |
| aroman | nimbiotics, Look into root sudo | 00:39 |
| erik_ | ubuntu 9.04 | 00:39 |
| _DGM_ | misteralexander: use chown | 00:39 |
| tim | nimbiotics, edit the sudoers file to enable the "admin" group for NOPASSWD and add your user to the admin group | 00:40 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: Private Server does make it easier to level up. (well...most private servers) | 00:40 |
| bazhang | erik_, you got the intel bug for that? | 00:40 |
| tenshinoneko_ | Hello ^^ Anyone knows how to enable Ad-Hoc as Wireless B only? | 00:40 |
| Roush427r | tim: Damn... oh well it's practically a dinosaur. It still has a floppy drive in it... | 00:40 |
| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: yea and then what :P you stand around ? | 00:40 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: So I guess your statement is true :D | 00:40 |
| moshe | aroman: I just installed ubuntu | 00:40 |
| aroman | tim, That's super insecure. | 00:40 |
| nimbiotics | tim: thanks | 00:40 |
| erik_ | not on 9.04 | 00:40 |
| mooshimuushi | _DGM_: True, True. | 00:40 |
| tim | aroman, I know | 00:40 |
| misteralexander | _DGM: in terminal, as root, navigate to the drive /media/drive and then "chown 777" ??? | 00:40 |
| divadgnol67 | huh? you had to backwards. oh well, whatever works, right? | 00:40 |
| bazhang | mooshimuushi, _DGM_ please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:40 |
| erik_ | only when i try to install 9.10 or 10.04 | 00:40 |
| unkmar | oh, and my 6.06 will NEVER be upgraded. | 00:40 |
| moshe | aroman: root arg has a wrong device in it and the system won't load | 00:41 |
| mooshimuushi | bazhang: Ahaha, Sorry ^^" | 00:41 |
| _DGM_ | misteralexander: no.. chown changes user owner. Say if your username is john, you can sudo chown -R john:john /path/to/your/media | 00:41 |
| divadgnol67 | eric > go into a terminal and enter dmesg and past the output and I will see if i can help | 00:41 |
| tim | nimbiotics, alternatively, you can just do "sudo su -" and you will have a root terminal until such time as you close it (more secure) | 00:41 |
| rww | unkmar: enjoy your lack of security updates | 00:41 |
| bazhang | tim, sudo -i NOT sudo su | 00:41 |

| _DGM_ | mooshimuushi: woot! xD | 00:42 |
| tim | bazhang, either works | 00:42 |
| mooshimuushi | Ok, Guild Wars is looking up. WoW is also looking up :D | 00:42 |
| bazhang | tim, no | 00:42 |

| bazhang | mooshimuushi, _DGM_ please | 00:42 |
| unkmar | rww: I'll enjoy the fact that the thing WORKS. where as my upgraded 8.04 to 10.04 does NOT. | 00:42 |

| erik_ | when i installed ubuntu 9.10 i rebooted then the monitor goes black an just sits there can someone please help | 01:02 |
| Braber01 | I was getting fustrated :'( | 01:02 |
| cellardoor | Braber01: the G15 is that gaming keyboard with the little display at the top right? | 01:02 |
| Braber01 | yes it has the display at the top | 01:02 |
| divadgnol67 | erik > got it, here is the link to a step by step resolution https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes | 01:02 |
| _DGM_ | cellardoor: yes and no. Funny thing is there are 2 versions. The older original one with an lcd that got taken off the market. The current g15 doesnt have an lcd | 01:02 |
| Braber01 | I have the one with the lcd | 01:03 |
| cellardoor | Braber01: drivers for that keyboard have not yet come out on linux, so unless you research into ndiswrapper which i dont htink is even for keyboard drivers, you cant change the layouts, sorry :( | 01:03 |
| _DGM_ | looking at it now.. there are actually 3 versions | 01:03 |
| _DGM_ | jeez.. | 01:03 |
| cellardoor | _DGM_: can you help him | 01:03 |
| _DGM_ | the new one is orange apparently | 01:03 |
| _DGM_ | whats his problem? | 01:03 |
| Braber01 | okay thank you cellardoor | 01:03 |
| cellardoor | _DGM_: layout changing, on the keyboard, but i think that would entail needing drivers, which he most likely doesnt have, he has gone now anyway :P | 01:04 |
| zaftig | nevermind. Thanks for your help... | 01:04 |
| _DGM_ | layout changing? that doesnt sound like a problem specific to the g15 to me | 01:04 |
| cellardoor | _DGM_: i was confused by it too :/ | 01:04 |
| _DGM_ | i dont even have my g15 installed right now.. i just put it on US and it has always worked fine | 01:05 |
| oldschooller | verd, the same IP ! This is not my own server. By the way - when I go to subdomain.example.com and watch http headers in Firefox I get HTTP/1.1 302 Found and location to some page on example.com/some/page | 01:05 |

| _DGM_ | you can tell because i'm typing on here ;) | 01:05 |
| unkmar | upgrade to 10.04 from 8.04 failed !!!!!!!!!! http://pastebin.com/bRf8GK1T | 01:05 |
| _DGM_ | unkmar: just do a clean install if you're going to upgrade that far | 01:06 |
| unkmar | _DGM_: that far? LTS to LTS. | 01:06 |
| Dice-Man | aw | 01:06 |
| verd | oldschooller, subdomain still points to the first VDS's ip? | 01:06 |
| _DGM_ | 8 to 10.. is huge | 01:06 |
| Dice-Man | yep | 01:07 |
| WinstonSmith | i did that te other day with a headless server 8.04 to 10.04 | 01:07 |
| Dice-Man | unkmar, you better format the / partition | 01:07 |
| papertigers | elit3m1ke: I hated the trackpad under 10.04, did you find a way of making it ignore your thumb when using it? | 01:07 |
| unkmar | _DGM_: that is the freaking point of holding out. LTS to LTS. not half baked versions in between. | 01:07 |
| Dice-Man | and install via a livecd | 01:07 |
| WinstonSmith | worked fine just my vbox coughed a bit :P | 01:07 |
| unkmar | /ignore Dice-Man | 01:07 |
| _DGM_ | unkmar: yea i never really got the point of that unless you're a company that needs the long term support. either way.. big upgrades like that tend to fail a lot. its just how it is | 01:08 |
| unkmar | I don't listen to induhviduals. | 01:08 |
| Dice-Man | unkmar, boa i was not kidding | 01:08 |
| Dice-Man | i'm not a pro | 01:08 |
| oldschooller | verd, Yeah! A-record added in CP doesn't work and I have strange redirect but I can't see any redirects in CP | 01:08 |
| tim | unkmar, that is quite a step from 8 to 10 but it should have worked | 01:08 |
| TELL0 | hello | 01:09 |
| _DGM_ | hello tello | 01:09 |
| unkmar | _DGM_: tend to fail? heh, so do the little upgrades. I held out for nearly 6 months. those things are suppose to be guaranteed to go smoothly. Not barf in your face. Kernel Panic. | 01:09 |
| TELL0 | how can I set a login sound? | 01:09 |
| WinstonSmith | canonical say explicitly that you CAN upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 | 01:09 |
| tim | unkmar, kernel panic? well, that's a deeper issue than the upgrade | 01:09 |
| _DGM_ | a driver module that didnt update? | 01:10 |
| cellardoor | unkmar: nothing is guarenteed with linux, most double-distribution upgrades are risky since so much changes | 01:10 |
| verd | oldschooller, #dig subdomain.example.com @ns.server | 01:10 |
| tim | _DGM_, huh? they're part of the kernel package | 01:10 |
| cellardoor | unkmar: but bugs get ironed out in further upgrades | 01:10 |
| _DGM_ | but whats the actual problem.. i mean you can just backup your stuff, install 10.04 and continue enjoying it | 01:10 |
| no_u01 | how do i change from wlan0 to wlan1 ? Xx | 01:10 |
| TELL0 | I make an alternate install of ubuntu and I'm setting things up manually, but I cannot set de login sound. I already chose it on sound preferences, but how can I play at startup? | 01:11 |
| elit3m1ke | no_u01 try this im not sure if it will work but, sudo ifconfig wlan0 down, then sudo ifconfig wlan1 up | 01:11 |
| c_ozzie | trying again: I accidentally hit "Safely Remove Drive" on a flash drive that's connected to a computer I'm VNC'd into and am 40 miles away from. The flash drive is still plugged in to the computer. Aside from rebooting, is there any way to get Ubuntu to re-detect the flash drive? It still shows up in "Computer", but double clicking it does nothing, and when I try to dd to it, I get "no media found". It doesn't show up in fdisk -l, an | 01:12 |
| Sivik | ok, i added a user and trying to ftp to that user. it says my password is incorrect | 01:12 |
| tim | c_ozzie, you could try unloading and reloading the usb_storage driver | 01:12 |
| Sivik | even though I just set the password for passwd <user> | 01:12 |
| cellardoor | c_ozzie: did you try 'sudo mount /dev/sdk /mnt'? | 01:12 |
| Sivik | what am I don't wrong | 01:12 |
| _DGM_ | Sivik: is that user allowed to access ftp? | 01:13 |
| no_u0 | elit3m1ke: it just reenabled wlan0 when i said wlan1 up xD | 01:13 |
| Sivik | does that mean I need to add it to the ftp group? | 01:14 |
| _DGM_ | ye | 01:14 |
| c_ozzie | tim: you mean just rmmod and then modprobe it? didn't work | 01:14 |
| elit3m1ke | try just doing the first command and see if it works | 01:14 |
| c_ozzie | cellardoor: fails with "/dev/sdk: unknown device" | 01:14 |
| Sivik | hey _DGM_, none of my users are part of the ftp group but other users can connect to ftp without any issues. I just created the user | 01:14 |
| tim | c_ozzie, well, it would be "sdk1" or whatever | 01:14 |
| Licuadora | JOIN #BLENDER | 01:14 |
| tim | Sivik, what do the logs on the server say? | 01:15 |
| verd | no_u0, is your wlan1 presented in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules? | 01:15 |
| sjefen6 | how do I make the grub menu appaiar during regular boot (like F8 for windows) | 01:15 |
| Sivik | i will look at it in a few | 01:15 |
| Licuadora | Hi. | 01:15 |
| oldschooller | verd, shows the same "old" IP... Maybe I should add subdomain not via CP of VDS but via CP of domain registrar ? And maybe there's some docs in the Net where I can learn about relations between registrars and hosting providers? | 01:15 |
| cellardoor | sjefen6: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 01:16 |
| Jordan_U | sjefen6: Hold shift during boot. | 01:16 |
| Licuadora | this is a test render, but how do I avoid... those, lines is the walls? | 01:16 |
| cellardoor | sjefen6: as sudo or root | 01:16 |
| Licuadora | https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9041618/LA%20CASA.png | 01:16 |
| tim | cellardoor, there is no menu.lst in 10.04 | 01:16 |
| Jinxzs | xubuntu i cant see the network how to set it up, there is a file i want to transfer | 01:16 |
| cellardoor | Licuadora: this is not an ubuntu topic, please move to #blender | 01:16 |
| Licuadora | Oh, sorry, wrong channel | 01:16 |
| cellardoor | tim: wow I need to keep up :( where is it now then | 01:16 |
| sjefen6 | shift did it, thanks Jordan_U :D | 01:17 |
| Dice-Man | Licuadora, they are cool guy there ! | 01:17 |
| no_u0 | verd: yes | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | sjefen6: You're welcome :) | 01:17 |
| no_u0 | verd: i see it in ifconfig also | 01:17 |
| jonathan | Hi! Is there any way, currently, to avoid this annoying problem: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24412/ | 01:17 |
| no_u0 | verd: http://pastie.org/1181809 | 01:17 |
| tim | cellardoor, I have been upgrading in place since 2006 or so, so I didn't notice either, until I installed 10.04 fresh the other day. There are lots of configuration changes, grub is one ... I'm still trying to figure out how it is supposed to be done | 01:17 |
| cellardoor | tim: hasnt a lot of stuff been moved into /usr/, i have noticed that | 01:18 |
| devzero | hey, I'm having a problem that is beyond my capabilities and I'm looking for some ideas | 01:18 |
| verd | oldschooller, it depends on what ns servers domain example.com is served by, if it's registrar's ns, A record can be added via registrar's CP | 01:18 |
| tim | cellardoor, "stuff" ? like what? | 01:18 |
| devzero | I have a thinkpad T23 laptop with a fresh 10.04 install on it | 01:19 |
| jrib | !enter | devzero | 01:19 |
| ubottu | devzero: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:19 |
| obunto | does anyone know what part of the installation is left unencrypted after a full disk encryption install using the alternate install CD? | 01:19 |
| cellardoor | tim: just general config files similar to importance and use as menu.lst, cant remember what off the top of my head | 01:19 |
| unkmar | _DGM_: the actual problem is: the system will now be down for days. I don't have time to be waste FIXING what shouldn't be broke. | 01:19 |
| devzero | and I have 5 (yes 5 NICs I'm trying) and they all are able to send out DHCP requests, the DHCP server sends responses, but none of hte NICs in the laptop see the response packets | 01:19 |
| devzero | 2 are wifi, 2 are wired plus the built-in ethernet | 01:20 |
| devzero | dhcp fails for all of them | 01:20 |
| verd | no_u0, comment entry for pci device if you don't need it and rename wlan1 to wlan0 | 01:20 |
| unkmar | and I am tempted to leave the system down for month or longer. Not worth my time. | 01:20 |
| devzero | but I'm seeing the entries in the DHCP server | 01:20 |
| devzero | any ideas? | 01:21 |
| jrib | devzero: please stop pressing enter. Collect your thoughts and ask a detailed question on a single line | 01:21 |
| jrib | unkmar: what is your ubuntu support question? | 01:21 |
| c_ozzie | tim: there is no sdk1, only sdk. thanks anyways | 01:21 |
| devzero | I have a thinkpad t23 with a fresh 10.04 install. no matter what NIC I use (wifi or wired), it's failing to get an IP address or see any incoming packets. the DHCP server sees the DHCP requests from the laptop and sends responses, but the laptop isn't seeing them. some of the NICs list RX errors, others just don't see packets, any clue what this could be? | 01:22 |
| trelayne | hey all, anyone know how to turn off the auto screen lock? | 01:23 |
| bazhang | trelayne, screensaver settings | 01:23 |
| tim | c_ozzie, then it probably doesn't have a file system on it. Are you sure? | 01:23 |
| elit3m1ke | system, preferences, screensaver | 01:23 |
| trelayne | thank you bazhang | 01:23 |
| jonathan | Wait, so _no one_ here has multiple monitors with different vertical resolution to horizontal res. ratios? | 01:23 |
| jonathan | Does that mean I am the only one encountering this problem? :( | 01:24 |
| tim | jonathan, what is the problem? is it nvidia? | 01:24 |
| tim | or ati, or ... ? | 01:24 |
| jonathan | tim: Well, X11 seems to think there is space under my shorter monitor that does not exist. :) | 01:24 |
| jonathan | tim: I end up with dead space that I can move my mouse into, but which is completely undesirable. | 01:24 |
| === brad_ is now known as bfrank | ||
| jonathan | tim: It becomes harder to navigate to buttons on the bottom of the screen in maximized applications, for example. | 01:25 |
| tim | jonathan, and your xorg.conf has the right settings for both? | 01:25 |
| jonathan | tim: My mouse can also get "lost" in the void | 01:25 |
| jonathan | tim: I don't know if there is a correct way to set it up. :) | 01:25 |
| jonathan | tim: I believe I specified a virtual monitor spanning both monitors, blah | 01:25 |
| ppq | c_ozzie, lsusb re-initializes usb devices, tried this? | 01:25 |
| tim | which driver are you using? I mean what sort of card? | 01:25 |
| jonathan | tim: an ATI one | 01:25 |
| devzero | I have a thinkpad t23 with a fresh 10.04 install. no matter what NIC I use (wifi or wired), it's failing to get an IP address or see any incoming packets. the DHCP server sees the DHCP requests from the laptop and sends responses, but the laptop isn't seeing them. some of the NICs list RX errors, others just don't see packets, any clue what this could be? -- I've tried 2 different pcmcia wifi cards, 1 usb wifi card, 1 usb ethernet car | 01:25 |
| tim | jonathan, are they both DMI? Is one of them VGA? | 01:26 |
| jonathan | tim: HDMI, you mean? Both are VGA. | 01:26 |
| elijah | Can I use scp to recursively copy a directory and exclude" one folder from the tree? | 01:27 |
| firstly | devzero: try the double-check onfigurasi from DHCP server | 01:28 |
| crispexi | hi. i can't get grub to work. i've tried everything. | 01:28 |
| ppq | elijah, i dont think so (i'm not sure) but rsync definitely can exclude things. run rsync through ssh to make it secure | 01:28 |
| joebillxxx | #twot;ove | 01:28 |
| Hypnosekroete | someone knows a good commandline network monitor for linux ? :o i need this tool monitoring traffic for each application | 01:28 |
| edbian | Hypnosekroete, iftop | 01:28 |
| elijah | ppq: Can rsync pull from a web server to my local? | 01:28 |
| devzero | firstly: thanks, it appears to work with all of my other machines, and I'm seeing the correct DHCP behavior in tcpdump | 01:28 |
| edbian | elijah, Use wget to pull from webservers | 01:29 |
| Hypnosekroete | thx edbian | 01:29 |
| Hypnosekroete | :D | 01:29 |
| Monkey_Dust | hi - in my login screen, is there any way I can position the input box? Hints & tips anyone? | 01:29 |
| joebillxxx | hi how do i go to another chatroom? ..no offence of coarse im just new to this | 01:29 |
| elijah | edbian: Can it login to the server too? | 01:29 |
| bazhang | joebillxxx, /join #channel | 01:29 |
| joebillxxx | ok ill try that | 01:29 |
| tim | elijah, if there is no scp switch for exclude, you could always do something like "scp -r `ls some_directory | grep -v unwanted_directory` " | 01:30 |
| ppq | elijah, when there's a sshd on the server, rsync works | 01:30 |
| elijah | ppq: I don't have sshd on my webserver :( | 01:30 |
| joebillxxx | ok didnt work i think i need a new server too | 01:31 |
| edbian | elijah, That's much more complicated. You have to write a program to do that for you. It's hard. | 01:31 |
| ppq | elijah, when you are able to use scp, you do | 01:31 |
| tim | elijah, well then trying to scp to it would not work either | 01:31 |
| joebillxxx | trying to go to twitlive for that podcast show | 01:31 |
| edbian | elijah, How do you log into the server if you don't have ssh? | 01:31 |
| === doyle is now known as Doyle | ||
| elijah | tim: I can scp no prob, but when I ran the sshd command it said command not found | 01:31 |
| edbian | elijah, If you can log in to the server don't use wget. I'll let tim and ppq help you | 01:32 |
| firstly | devzero: I usually do pengecakkan through the terminal by typing dhclient nameinterface | 01:32 |
| edbian | elijah, ssh not sshd | 01:32 |
| joebillxxx | ill go check what server its on .. | 01:32 |
| elijah | edbian: Gotcha, I have ssh | 01:32 |
| tim | elijah, sshd is started from an init script unless you're debugging or something | 01:32 |
| tim | it probably wasn't in your path | 01:32 |
| sweetpi | joebillxxx: twit is on irc.twit.tv | 01:33 |
| elijah | tim: So the scp route you listed above should work? | 01:33 |
| sweetpi | oh well | 01:33 |
| devzero | firstly: yeah, I'm running dhclient from the terminal too, on some of the NICs I see 0 RX packets despite seeing it leave the server via tcpdump, on other nics I see 0 received, but I see incrementing RX errors everytime a response is sent | 01:33 |
| edbian | elijah, sshd (ssh daemon) it's the ssh server | 01:33 |
| tim | elijah, yes, but rsync is better | 01:33 |
| elijah | edbian: Gotcha | 01:33 |
| jonathan | So does anyone else have a solution for this "dead-space" problem with multiple monitors? | 01:33 |
| elijah | tim: How would I use rsync then? | 01:34 |
| edbian | elijah, man rsync ;) | 01:34 |
| elijah | I sort of get the concept, use rsync and run it through ssh to make it secure like scp but rsync has more power | 01:35 |
| devzero | firstly: it looks like there's some kernel networking setting that is wacked out that would cause rx'ed frames from multiple drivers to get corrupted | 01:35 |
| elijah | How would I run it though SSH though? | 01:35 |
| edbian | elijah, It is supported natively in the app. rsync user@host:/path/to/target /path/to/local/folder | 01:35 |
| RondoRaven | can anybody recommend a current guide on setting up an external monitor with resolution better than 1024x768? | 01:36 |
| firstly | devzero: I do not think like that, if the correct configuration meets these demands can try it with 2 pc | 01:36 |
| RondoRaven | I have a fresh install after repeatedly borking my system with no success | 01:37 |
| elijah | edbian: Nice | 01:37 |
| edbian | elijah, Linux is great huh? | 01:38 |
| devzero | firstly: what do you mean? a crossover cable? I am pretty sure the cable and switch are working correctly - I tested them with a different computer and they work fine | 01:38 |
| elijah | edbian: yeah, pretty amazing! | 01:38 |
| ppq | elijah, for ssh, you have to specify it: rsync -e ssh and then the rest | 01:38 |
| devzero | firstly: and this happens on both wifi and ethernet | 01:38 |
| edbian | elijah, Perhaps he's right^^ | 01:38 |
| KGF2009 | Holy crap. This has to be the biggest channel I have -ever- been in. | 01:38 |
| edbian | KGF2009, ha ha :) | 01:38 |
| elijah | KGF2009: I think you are right, about 3 years ago it was still at around 900 | 01:39 |
| KGF2009 | I've never been in a channel above 300, and now BOOM, 1200. | 01:39 |
| edbian | KGF2009, Usually it's closer to 1500 | 01:39 |
| dtcrshr | KGF2009, thats the way we do it | 01:39 |
| firstly | devzero: if in another computer worked fine then it could be concluded | 01:40 |
| KGF2009 | Took forever for irssi to get the namelist. | 01:40 |
| AnthonyFer12 | good night | 01:41 |
| ppq | elijah, you probably also like to use --exclude=/foo/bar option | 01:41 |
| AnthonyFer12 | can somebody tell me how to install networkmanager.. the newest version | 01:41 |
| ppq | but ok you can read for ourself :) going to sleep now. | 01:42 |
| ppq | +y | 01:42 |
| edbian | AnthonyFer12, It's installed by default I believe | 01:42 |
| elijah | ppq: Haha, I was just going to ask if that was the right command, rsync man page is a monster | 01:42 |
| AnthonyFer12 | really how can you tell_ | 01:42 |
| firstly | devzero: if the computer is working at what other networks to function properly? | 01:42 |
| AnthonyFer12 | ? | 01:42 |
| ppq | elijah, it's long but imho it's very good. in opposite to most manpages | 01:42 |
| edbian | AnthonyFer12, It's the little networking applet on the gnome-panel. | 01:42 |
| elijah | ppq: Yeah, I suppose I will appreciate the power as I grow | 01:43 |
| teen4God | hi there i installed ubuntu on my laptop, but my headphone jack isn't working | 01:43 |
| wst | :)) | 01:43 |
| AnthonyFer12 | yeah I see it there... its version 0.7.0.100 I need the new version 0.8.1 | 01:43 |
| elijah | teen4God: Open the terminal and type alsamixer | 01:43 |
| AnthonyFer12 | seems that correct a bug with using broadband internet with one of these USB flash keys | 01:44 |
| teen4God | ok | 01:44 |
| elijah | ppq: Would it matter if the -e ssh came before or after the --exclude=/foo/bar ?? | 01:44 |
| edbian | elijah, nope | 01:44 |
| elijah | teen4God: Do you have a mixer screen? | 01:44 |
| elijah | edbian: thx | 01:45 |
| ppq | elijah, the order of the options is not so important | 01:45 |
| teen4God | yea | 01:45 |
| ppq | have to leave now, good luck, elijah | 01:45 |
| elijah | ppq: adios | 01:45 |
| RondoRaven | does anybody here use an external monitor? | 01:46 |
| teen4God | elijah I go the screen and my headphone setting is the same as my speaker which works | 01:46 |
| Guest74945 | hello | 01:46 |
| KGF2009 | RondoRaven: Define external? | 01:46 |
| firenx | well then, just booted 10.04 LTS and i get nothing on the screen :( | 01:46 |
| wst | how cani set eth0 to to be default? | 01:46 |
| firenx | off the livecd/install disc | 01:46 |
| edbian | Guest74945, hello | 01:46 |
| RondoRaven | KGF2009: plugged into laptop by VGA | 01:47 |
| quag | Which package installs crontab (for crontab -e)? | 01:47 |
| elijah | edbian: Would this be right? rsync -e ssh --exclude=/foo/bar elijah@remoteserver.com:/foo | 01:47 |
| === Guest63777 is now known as napster | ||
| edbian | quag, crontab is installed by default | 01:47 |
| I_want_ely | RondoRaven, i have a desktop so i guess you could call it an external monitor | 01:47 |
| quag | edbian: hmmm... that's what I thought. | 01:47 |
| quag | edbian: but it is missing :( | 01:47 |
| elijah | teen4God: That is as far as i can help you, as long as your headphone jack level is up that is a good 1st step | 01:47 |
| edbian | elijah, You need a destination | 01:47 |
| === napster is now known as Guest42629 | ||
| Guest74945 | okay... i am installing vmware server on ubuntu 10.04 x64 and i keep getting the same error can anyone help me? | 01:47 |
| KGF2009 | wst: Right click on your connections, go to Edit Connections, select eth0 and click edit, and check 'Connect Automatically'. | 01:47 |
| edbian | quag, Then I'm not sure what package it's in. crontab ? | 01:47 |

| RondoRaven | OK then let's call it auxilliary? | 01:48 |
| Guest74945 | okay... i am installing vmware server on ubuntu 10.04 x64 and i keep getting the same error can anyone help me? | 01:48 |
| quag | edbian: actually, it may be that cron isn't installed at all | 01:48 |
| edbian | elijah, Yeah. | 01:48 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | hey! | 01:48 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | wats up | 01:48 |
| Name141 | Are all of the *buntu's about the same installed? | 01:48 |
| Name141 | in terms of disk space | 01:49 |
| Guest74945 | okay... i am installing vmware server on ubuntu 10.04 x64 and i keep getting the same error can anyone help me? | 01:49 |
| edbian | Name141, yeah | 01:49 |
| KGF2009 | RondoRaven: Sure. What's your issue? | 01:49 |
| wst | using inteface eth0 | 01:49 |
| wst | ERROR: libnet_select_device(): none(): can't find interface eth0 | 01:49 |
| RondoRaven | KGF2009: well 1024x1068 is not a very useful resolution | 01:49 |
| wst | how can i pass on eth0? | 01:49 |
| Name141 | edbian: would xfce (xubuntu) run 'that much better' than Gnome on old hardware? | 01:50 |
| RondoRaven | KGF: 1024x1068 | 01:50 |
| c_ozzie | Guest74945: what is the error? | 01:50 |
| === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke | ||
| KGF2009 | RondoRaven: System -> Preferences -> Monitors; I think you can set a resolution per monitor there. | 01:50 |
| gartral | i cant launch firefox. i simply get "Bus Error" then returned to prompt, can anyone advise? | 01:50 |
| RondoRaven | KGF2009: 1024x768 (flustered) | 01:50 |
| edbian | Name141, In my opinion they run the same. | 01:50 |
| Guest74945 | does anyone here understand how to fix the "unable to install vmmon module"" error in ubuntu 10.04 x64 | 01:50 |
| Name141 | edbian: I'm thinking I might as well install Ubuntu since I have the ubuntu disk. | 01:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Name141, check out lubuntu if you want a light weight *buntu. Xfce isn't mush lighter then Gnome. | 01:50 |
| KGF2009 | wst: Then I'm not sure how to help. What are you connected to now? | 01:51 |
| Name141 | ZykoticK9: is that an 'offical' dist ? | 01:51 |
| Guest74945 | does anyone here understand how to fix the "unable to install vmmon module"" error in ubuntu 10.04 x64 | 01:51 |
| bazhang | !repeat | Guest74945 | 01:51 |
| ubottu | Guest74945: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com | 01:51 |
| RondoRaven | KGF2009: yes but attempts to alter VGA monitor resolution do not stick, res does not change | 01:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Name141, no, not yet - it lacks some "tools" to get "official" status | 01:51 |
| Guest74945 | ok....thx | 01:52 |
| Name141 | ZykoticK9: Ok. But will I be able to upgrade distros and use ubuntu's repos and stuff without formatting when a new LTS comes out? | 01:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | Name141, you might be interested in http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 | 01:52 |
| wst | KGF2009 i-m connected to eth1 but i want to connect on eth0 | 01:52 |
| elijah | edbian: I am getting a permission denied error | 01:52 |
| wst | to change it | 01:52 |
| KGF2009 | wst: If eth1 is working fine, why change it? | 01:52 |
| edbian | elijah, user@host is correct? | 01:52 |
| KGF2009 | wst: You can't connect to eth0 is no connection is bound there. | 01:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Name141, i don't personally upgrade distros every - i always fresh install, so i'm not the right person to ask | 01:53 |
| elijah | edbian: Yeah but I think the path was wrong so it may have been going to a non-existent or taken acct. | 01:53 |
| edbian | elijah, Likely. lemme see the command again? | 01:54 |
| edbian | elijah, Usually it'll say though "path does not exist on host" or something like that. | 01:54 |
| RondoRaven | KGF2009: using default driver and Monitor Settings allows me to turn them off and on but res change does not actually happen unless I change to resolution supported by the laptop screen... 1024x768 or 800x600... | 01:56 |
| elijah | edbian: K, it is working now, but it says stdin: is not a tty skipping directory /foo | 01:56 |
| edbian | elijah, Do you have a /foo folder? Do you have /foo in the rsync command? | 01:57 |
| Sivik | upon conenction of ftp with vsftpd with a new user, i get an error about lo: disabled privacy extensions | 01:57 |

| bp0 | are application versions frozen with ubuntu versions? | 02:05 |
| bp0 | for instance, will there ever be xchat 2.8.8 or GIMP 2.6.10 in ubuntu 10.04? | 02:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | bp0, package versions are NOT updated during an ubuntu version. it's not a rolling release at all. | 02:05 |
| bp0 | that isnt some ppa | 02:05 |
| Daekdroom | bp0, no | 02:05 |
| bp0 | what is LTS then? | 02:05 |
| Daekdroom | bp0, sometimes they may get to backports.. | 02:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | !lts | bp0 | 02:05 |
| ubottu | bp0: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 02:05 |
| Daekdroom | LTS means it'll get security updates. | 02:06 |
| bp0 | but not application updates? | 02:06 |
| Daekdroom | Precisely | 02:06 |
| slooksterpsv | whats with the ! (not symbol is how I read it) | 02:06 |
| bp0 | why aren't applications always in their own independent repos then? | 02:06 |
| maco | slooksterpsv: bot commands | 02:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | slooksterpsv, it calls the bot, ubottu | 02:06 |
| bp0 | why do they have to be frozen with ubuntu releases | 02:06 |
| maco | bp0: stability | 02:06 |
| matt531320 | is anybody here having problems with slow wifi in lucid? | 02:07 |
| Daekdroom | bp0, it's much harder to keep the whole system working alright if you keep updating | 02:07 |
| icarus-c | bp0, independent repo for EACH app?! there are like tens of thousands | 02:07 |
| slooksterpsv | oh ok, I was like huh The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (not lucid) lol | 02:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | bp0, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 02:07 |
| edbian | bp0, There are other distros that work that way. | 02:07 |
| bp0 | but applications don't release updates to their old versions | 02:07 |
| bp0 | they just release new versions | 02:07 |
| slooksterpsv | matt531320 - nope | 02:07 |
| c1rcuit | clear | 02:07 |
| icarus-c | bp0, if you want that, you want a rolling release distro | 02:07 |
| maco | bp0: not true for all upstreams | 02:07 |
| bp0 | so if there is a major flaw, it just wont be fixed? | 02:07 |
| rww | !sru | 02:07 |
| qcjn2 | hi, i ve got problem, with a network printer. It works from computer 192.168.0.100 that is distant, but not from computer 192.168.0.102 (this is the computer where the computer the printer is plugged) | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 02:07 |
| maco | bp0: many maintain older versions, and we cherry pick patches to fix issues | 02:08 |
| jrib | bp0: the security part is cherry-picked | 02:08 |
| icarus-c | bp0, ubuntu does backport major bug fixes/security fix to old version | 02:08 |
| bp0 | it seems completely artificial to freeze applications with the os release | 02:08 |
| qcjn2 | when i restart the server computer, i have to restart cupsys | 02:08 |
| slooksterpsv | is this info in a wiki somewhere, cause there's some questions I've had in regards to this (what bp0 is asking) | 02:08 |
| Daekdroom | bp0, most distributions do that. I don't get you. | 02:08 |
| maco | slooksterpsv: yes, see the wiki page ubottu just linked.... | 02:09 |
| bp0 | well, that is my point about the independent repos, why do applicaitons havbe to be distributed as part of ubuntu | 02:09 |
| bp0 | why does ubuntu have to do anything at all | 02:09 |
| edbian | bp0, That's what many distros do. If you were on the daily build of every app the distro would be a complete nightmare. | 02:09 |
| slooksterpsv | maco oh ok thank you =D | 02:09 |
| icarus-c | bp0, hence, you may find an security fix in foo-2.6.10 that is backported to ubuntu's foo-2.6.8 | 02:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | bp0, this isn't the place to "debate" issues, time-based release system is how Ubuntu does it (which is sorta "end-of-story" on the matter ;) | 02:09 |
| maco | bp0: because trusting random third parties is how you get pwned? | 02:09 |
| bp0 | let the application devs release their own | 02:09 |
| slooksterpsv | what's a good rolling distrobution then thats ubuntu based? | 02:09 |
| rww | there isn't one | 02:09 |
| maco | slooksterpsv: there arent any ubuntu-based rolling distros | 02:09 |
| icarus-c | bp0, look. what you are thinking is Rolling release model | 02:09 |
| Daekdroom | No rolling release distribution is based on ubuntu | 02:09 |
| edbian | slooksterpsv, There is no such thing. | 02:09 |
| maco | slooksterpsv: debian unstable is rolling and uses debs, but as the name impllies... | 02:09 |
| qcjn2 | and can't see localhost:631 <-- connexion error | 02:10 |
| edbian | slooksterpsv, but Ubuntu is based on Debian. So that is probably a pretty good answer ^^ | 02:10 |
| gartral | slooksterpsv: there are no debian-based rolling distros, if you like the idea of a rolling distro, look into sabayon | 02:10 |
| trevor | If I have a makefile and I export a variable, then call a shell script is there which alters that variable how can I get the value passed back from the shell script to the makefile | 02:10 |
| bp0 | icarus-c, i'm thinking Windows or Mac OS model where the applications are independent from the OS, and you can run newer versions on old OS versions | 02:10 |
| x0rs | anyone know where the gnomenu config file is? | 02:10 |
| bazhang | !ot | bp0 | 02:10 |
| ubottu | bp0: #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! | 02:10 |
| x0rs | I want to completely uninstall it and all it's old settings | 02:10 |
| slooksterpsv | edbian gartral maco - what's a linux distro that is rolling release model? | 02:10 |
| elijah | edbian: Would using the scp method still work? | 02:10 |
| maco | bp0: and look how well windows is doing on the malware front... | 02:10 |
| edbian | slooksterpsv, arch | 02:10 |
| bazhang | bp0, please take this elsewhere | 02:10 |
| acu | what is the best book on Network Administration in Enterprise ? | 02:10 |
| gartral | slooksterpsv: SABAYON | 02:10 |
| maco | slooksterpsv: debian unstable, arch, gentoo, slackware... | 02:10 |
| edbian | elijah, scp works if you have ssh access. | 02:10 |
| icarus-c | bp0, some rolling release distro are gentoo, arch linux | 02:11 |
| slooksterpsv | edbian, really arch is? ok.... did not know that - sabayon is neat | 02:11 |
| bp0 | elsewhere where? | 02:11 |
| edbian | slooksterpsv, yeah but this is offtopic | 02:11 |
| bp0 | what, this is the channel to talk about ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| elijah | edbian: I do, but I want to exclude a folder, tim said earlier that this may work "scp -r `ls some_directory | grep -v unwanted_directory` " | 02:11 |
| bazhang | bp0, #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:11 |
| edbian | elijah, IDK | 02:11 |
| bp0 | ... ubuntu is the topic | 02:11 |
| maco | bp0: its the channel for ubuntu *tech support* | 02:11 |
| slooksterpsv | edbian - oh well, just had a question regarding it in regards to the discussion we've had on ubuntu | 02:11 |
| gartral | maco: debian-unstable is not concidered a real rolling distro, as the primary starting bases are named and code-locked | 02:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | !hi | bp0 | 02:11 |
| bazhang | bp0, not debate finer points of release models | 02:11 |
| ubottu | bp0: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 02:11 |
| edbian | elijah, Looks like that would work | 02:11 |
| maco | bp0: you've left the realm of tech support | 02:11 |
| modulexploited | i tried compiling an application and got an error with jvm http://pastebin.com/3a7kDhBN | 02:11 |
| icarus-c | bp0, yea app are independent from the OS on WIndows/Mac OS X, but ubuntu build the OS & the app as a whole | 02:11 |
| bazhang | icarus-c, please lets get back on topic | 02:12 |
| bp0 | well anyway, you end up with all these PPAs for things so you can run fixed apps on your 10.04 | 02:12 |
| bp0 | thats not better | 02:12 |
| bazhang | bp0, wrong channel for it | 02:12 |
| maco | bp0: if you know of patches for existing bugs, please link to them in the bug reports and subscribe the sponsors too | 02:12 |
| edbian | bp0, If you don't like the packages / version that Ubuntu selects than it really isn't a good distro for you. | 02:12 |
| maco | *team | 02:12 |
| icarus-c | bp0, as said earlier, fixes are usually backported. but feature update are not | 02:12 |
| bp0 | edbian, its not about selection, the new versions didnt exist when 10.04 was released... now they do, abut they can never be updated | 02:13 |
| elijah | What is the command to list all drives and their available capacities again? | 02:13 |
| bp0 | because there is an artificial link between os releases and app releases | 02:13 |
| edbian | bp0, They will be updated in the next version. | 02:13 |
| maco | elijah: df -h | 02:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | elijah, "sudo fdisk -l" or "mount" | 02:13 |
| gartral | icarus-c: the ONLY thing i dont agree with that philosphy on is games, games are updaed, and servers wont accept connections from older clients, and that causes mass breakage all too quikly | 02:13 |
| edbian | bp0, This is offtopic. Unless you don't get how it works. This channel isn't for debating if Ubuntu is making all the right choices. | 02:13 |
| maco | gartral: and that is SRUable, aiui | 02:14 |
| elijah | maco: thx | 02:14 |
| elijah | df | 02:14 |
| unkmar | jrib: It is not important now. I'm ready for bed. And since the simple fix is to overlay install. (sounds like a windows solution) >:( I will probably will replace it with Debian. | 02:14 |
| jrib | unkmar: k | 02:14 |
| edbian | unkmar, Debian FTW | 02:14 |
| Sivik | if i add a drive to a already created directory with information in said directory, will it just add space or over take it? | 02:15 |
| jrib | Sivik: what do you mean by "add a drive to a already created directory"? | 02:16 |
| edbian | Sivik, do you mean mounting a drive in that folder? | 02:16 |
| Sivik | yes, sorry | 02:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sivik, if you mount something to a directory with content, the content is just "hidden" it's still there if you unmount | 02:16 |
| Sivik | alright | 02:16 |
| Sivik | as long as the files will still be there, i don't care | 02:16 |
| Sivik | thats what I was thinking. just wanted to verify | 02:16 |
| unkmar | jrib: I get a kernel panic, it s likely because of missmatch files due to the failed upgrade. so an overlay install makes most sense. So I might as well get closer to the trunk rather than further on the branch like that friend of mine that thinks Mint linux is a good idea. He would probably love DreamLinux. | 02:16 |
| jrib | unkmar: k, I don't really care what your plans are. But if you have some sort of support question, just ask it | 02:17 |

| raygalinato | Hi, could someone just clarify something for me? I just want to know whether the driver installed for my nVidia card from Hardware Drivers is the "nouveau" driver or not. | 02:19 |
| slooksterpsv | ... ok I have a question now, I don't know if it would be offtopic or not, as it's related to Linux Distros in general | 02:20 |
| edbian | raygalinato, lsmod | grep nouveau will show if the nouveau driver is being used on your system. | 02:20 |
| Sivik | raygalinato, what card? | 02:20 |
| dean22 | i cannot connect wirelessly to my router.. if my laptop is on battery, wireless energy saving mode.. any way to resolve it | 02:20 |

| edbian | elijah, Then you're all set? | 02:21 |

| mamece2 | what about security issues? like virus or another individual gettin in my files? | 02:27 |
| bazhang | !virus > mamece2 | 02:27 |
| ubottu | mamece2, please see my private message | 02:27 |
| unkmar | mamece2: lol. Um, I suggest almost anything over windows. But that is rather price choosing decision on my part. Along with amount of support available. | 02:27 |
| slooksterpsv | what does !virus > mamece2 | 02:27 |
| slooksterpsv | mean | 02:27 |
| edbian | mamece2, Basically not an issue for linux. It is designed differently and is therefore more secure. Plus it has the added bonus of being a portion small market share and therefore a lousy target for attackers. | 02:27 |
| mamece2 | sorry for the virus question, im not a troll | 02:27 |
| edbian | slooksterpsv, It tells the bot to talk directly to mamece2 | 02:28 |
| bazhang | it directs the factoid to him slooksterpsv | 02:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | !virus > slooksterpsv it sends a private bot message | 02:28 |
| ubottu | slooksterpsv, please see my private message | 02:28 |
| unkmar | mamece2: don't get me wrong, their is plenty of windows support. And plenty of windows viruses, and plenty of people to pay. | 02:28 |
| edbian | mamece2, No worries. Completely valid question | 02:28 |
| bazhang | mamece2, what version of ubuntu are you using | 02:28 |
| mamece2 | i installed 10.04 UNE | 02:28 |
| slooksterpsv | sorry, still new to IRC trying to figure how what you guys do in the IRC chat and all that, besides the support questions | 02:28 |
| bazhang | mamece2, okay, any issues? please have a read of the manual | 02:28 |
| bazhang | !manual | mamece2 | 02:28 |
| ubottu | mamece2: 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/ | 02:28 |
| mamece2 | but i find the OS very annoying, i want a desktop one, not childish tab. ppq told me how to change to desktop version | 02:28 |

| slooksterpsv | ok when I have high disk activity applications on my computer freeze up | 02:29 |

| Jordan_U | blippity: A wubi installation will install grub, but setup to be loaded from ntldr/BCD. Grub does not replace the windows bootloader in the mbr with a wubi install. | 03:12 |

| blippity | even if wubi install is not full install? | 03:13 |
| goddard | approximately s/? | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | blippity: Could you rephrase the question? | 03:13 |
| MooshiMuushi | ZykoticK9, Preference --> Main Menu | 03:14 |
| blippity | wubi installer offers two options: full install w/o dedicated partition, and an install within windows on dedicated windows partition | 03:14 |
| blippity | following me? | 03:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard the s/ is substitute, so s/foo/too is substitute foo for too | 03:14 |
| MooshiMuushi | ZykoticK9, From there. I allowed the program to be opened through terminal, but in a flash, it turns off. | 03:14 |
| goddard | gotcha | 03:15 |
| blippity | so if i install ubuntu within windows without a dedicated partition being created, would it install grub | 03:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | MooshiMuushi, what does the script do? -- to trouble shoot you might want to uncheck the terminal, and use the "gnome-terminal -e /path..." to see the output/error | 03:16 |
| unkmar | MooshiMuushi: the add a line or 2 to the script. the last line could be read. That will cause a pause. | 03:16 |
| blippity | i ask because grub hates my hardware | 03:16 |
| Jordan_U | blippity: Yes, but not in the normal sense. Again, it will *not* replace windows' bootloader so a problem with grub will not prevent windows from booting. | 03:17 |

| xnixan | Hi, i have ubuntu box as firewall with eth0 192.168.0.0/24 connected to internal net work and eth1 172.16.1.0/24 to the internet router i need to allow only 4 hosts to have full access to internal and external connections and the rest of internal network will only be able to access those 4 internal hosts, would you mind telling me what are the rules to be applied? | 03:19 |
| blippity | if i did the install within windows, how hard would it be to then remove grub cleanly? | 03:19 |
| blippity | simple fixmbr command? | 03:20 |
| blippity | or would that not be necessary? | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | blippity: fixmbr would not be needed as wubi will not touch the mbr. | 03:20 |
| MooshiMuushi | Give me a second ZykoticK9 and unkmar :D | 03:20 |
| blippity | so where does grub happen in the boot process? | 03:21 |

| MooshiMuushi | Wish...if it was free. | 03:23 |
| Circs | MooshiMuushi, What about minecraft classic? | 03:24 |
| rww | blippity: The GRUB setup used in Wubi (the install-from-Windows option) is chained from Windows' bootloader. So the BIOS passes off to Windows, which then passes off to GRUB. | 03:25 |
| blippity | thanks! | 03:25 |
| Jordan_U | blippity: Wubi creates a file (I think named g2ldr.img) which ntldr/BCD then chainlaods. | 03:25 |
| Circs | Well I have a more common question too: I would like to have my Ubuntu desktop hooked up to my surround sound system and I need to have optical audio out to accomplish this. Do I have to replace my motherboard to get this? | 03:26 |
| blippity | i have an asus g73j. had to do a low level format to remove grub last time, so i'm curious as to grub uninstall afterwards | 03:26 |
| spur | Circs: no, there are many PCI sound cards availalbe. | 03:26 |
| rww | blippity: Wubi has an entry in Windows' Add/Remove Programs that should do that. If not, there's a tool called EasyBCD that can remove the entry from Windows' bootloader. | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | blippity: It doesn't make sense for removing grub to require a low level format. | 03:27 |
| Circs | spur, Yes, I've been looking through but many of them seem to have problems with optical output and ubuntu. Feeling a bit lost. | 03:27 |
| blippity | apparently there is a known hardware issues with asus machines that causes issues with grub | 03:27 |
| MooshiMuushi | Circs, Classic? Never tried. | 03:27 |
| blippity | or so i have been told | 03:27 |
| spur | rww: That is WindowsXP. Windows 7 has Programs and Features. | 03:27 |
| Circs | MooshiMuushi, It meets your free requirement | 03:27 |
| Circs | MooshiMuushi, It is Java based it seems and I was wondering how it runs. I *think* you can play it in browser | 03:28 |
| MooshiMuushi | Circs, I'm quite sure you can. | 03:29 |

| Circs | MooshiMuushi, I became quite addicted to it at my friend's house and would most certainly not like to go MS to get a game. | 03:30 |
| Emanon-iPhone | Ok on issuance of any apt get command I get "segmentation faulty tree" how do I fix this? | 03:31 |
| MooshiMuushi | Circs, Go to MS? You can buy it and download it. | 03:31 |
| titan-ark | hi does anyone have an idea of using lucid ona VBox? I needed some help here | 03:31 |
| Circs | MooshiMuushi, I think I stated that poorly. I would not like to have to go spend money on Windows to be able to play the game | 03:32 |
| bazhang | MooshiMuushi, Circs please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:32 |
| titan-ark | full screen giving me trouble | 03:32 |

| MooshiMuushi | bazhang, ahh caught again... | 03:32 |
| MooshiMuushi | :D | 03:32 |
| bazhang | Circs, well beyond that now | 03:32 |
| Gnea | Circs: tried wine or cedega? | 03:32 |
| Emanon-iPhone | Anyone? Im on my iPhone at a clients house so any quick help would be good | 03:32 |
| rww | It's Java-based. You shouldn't need WINE or Cedega... | 03:33 |
| Gnea | Emanon-iPhone: have you checked the heat of the hardware in the case? | 03:33 |
| titan-ark | Jordan_U: I installed it and the guest additions, but in full screen mode, the lower part of the screen is not visible | 03:33 |
| Gnea | rww: oh, missed that part. yeah, not sure why anyone would need windows for it... | 03:33 |
| titan-ark | Jordan_U: is it cos am using a 14" notebook? the screen is too small? | 03:34 |
| spur | titan-ark: know it ain't. the resolution is too low. | 03:34 |
| titan-ark | spur: ah okay, thx... lemme try pumping it up | 03:34 |
| Circs | rww, Basically I was looking for someone who has actually run at least the free version in Linux because on forums and such I only see problems people have had. I'm wondering if it just works well enough people don't mention it or if just very few people have played it in Linux. | 03:35 |
| spur | inches are irrelavent. It is pixels by pixels that is important. | 03:35 |
| Emanon-iPhone | Gnea: well It doesn't do it except on an apt command everything else works fine | 03:35 |
| Gnea | Emanon-iPhone: if time is so short, why not check it? | 03:36 |
| spur | Emanon-iPhone: have you tested apt-cache? | 03:36 |
| titan-ark | spur: hmmm true :P n00b me | 03:36 |
| Gnea | Emanon-iPhone: hm, maybe that isn't it... | 03:36 |
| Circs | rww, I would try it but my netbook basically dies when I give it a shot and no other hardware is in running shape right now. | 03:36 |
| Gnea | Emanon-iPhone: are there any .bin files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? | 03:36 |
| Emanon-iPhone | Spur explain please | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | Emanon-iPhone: Can you pastebin the exact error message? | 03:37 |
| Gnea | Emanon-iPhone: if there are any, they should be removed | 03:37 |
| Gnea | Jordan_U: he's on a phone | 03:38 |
| spur | Emanon-iPhone: you said apt. both apt-get and aptitude require root. apt-cache does not. | 03:38 |
| spur | Emanon-iPhone: apt-cache search gnome | 03:38 |

| titan-ark | spur: so basically, on a 1152*864 resolution i get the right side fully but lose the bottom part and in the 1360*768 I lose the right part but get the bottom part | 03:44 |
| Gnea | Jordan_U: did you check that url i posted? | 03:44 |
| spur | titan-ark: ok, I think the video drivers for the vbox video card are restricted to certain resolutions. They may all be of the 3:4 category. such as 800x600, 640x480 and 1024x768 variety. | 03:44 |
| spur | titan-ark: I suspect yoru laptop is of the 16:9 or 16:10 variety. | 03:44 |
| titan-ark | spur: yup you nailed it | 03:45 |

| spur | martin___: maybe the wire is in a now dead port. OR, the wire is bad, OR the wire is cross-over instread of straight-thru/path. | 04:24 |
| mobasher | edbian=}} not sure...what i did...i'm confuesed... | 04:24 |
| mobasher | edbian=}} i think i changed httpd.conf to put ServerName localhost | 04:24 |
| mobasher | edbian=}} now i removed it force-reload the conf and tired to start but no luck | 04:25 |
| spur | martin___: OR that port is a cross-over/uplink or switched to be so. | 04:25 |
| edbian | mobasher, Maybe it's just easier to purge and start over. If you sudo apt-get purge apache2 and then sudo apt-get install apache2 it will completely remove apache and the config files and then install it fresh. That way you can work from a fresh start and follow a guide. | 04:25 |
| martin___ | spur: I just obtained an IP using this wire on another machine. | 04:25 |
| mobasher | edbian=}} yea that would be a good idea..that's not going to hurt the mysql configuration ? | 04:25 |
| edbian | mobasher, This is a good guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html | 04:25 |
| rww | RJ_F1: You're already in #ubuntu, removed from the exploit quarantine, and having no problems. You don't need testing ;P | 04:26 |
| spur | martin___: okay, so we now know that the magic can flow through that wire when connected to that portal. | 04:26 |
| martin___ | spur: I am going over the router config once more (it cannot hurt to review it again) | 04:27 |
| Izinucs | martin___: martin___ you could try " sudo ifdown " .. then "sudo ifup" to force the network card to disconnect and reconnect asking for a dhcp address from the router.. if that doesn't work it might be one of those quirky issues with network-manager .. wicd might work better as it does for me on my desktop. | 04:27 |
| spur | martin___: what Izinucs says assumes that /etc/network/interfaces is set: "iface eth1 inet dhcp" | 04:29 |
| spur | martin___: which is the default setting. | 04:29 |
| spur | martin___: I'm wondering why it shows as eth1 instead of eth0. But, I'm being picky. | 04:30 |
| spur | martin___: you have firewire in that system? | 04:30 |
| Izinucs | spur: martin___ my interfaces file which is stock and using network-manager is http://pastebin.com/kBapA9vL | 04:31 |
| archer | the log is too long. whose apache? | 04:32 |
| Izinucs | It's also wireless.... | 04:32 |
| treize | How can one find out what commands gnome runs when we click hibernate on the top right menu? I know how to hibernate "sudo pm-hibernate" and I know how to enable the screensaver lock "gnome-screensaver-command -a -l". I need to know the commands to double check the quirks settings in pm-hibernate. Any help is appreciated. | 04:32 |
| spur | archer: apache is web server. | 04:33 |
| archer | moe | 04:35 |
| archer | apache should "listen *:80" | 04:35 |
| archer | instead of 0.0.0.0:80 | 04:35 |
| spur | archer: 0.0.0.0:80 will be localhost only. | 04:36 |
| archer | really? i don't think so | 04:36 |
| firenx | anyone seen this? when i press the left shift key in gnome (10.04) the shutdown dialog comes up.. | 04:36 |
| archer | in win32 it is usually okay to bind all available address | 04:36 |
| sync3times | spur, 0.0.0.0 is everyone | 04:36 |
| spur | oh, okay, so that is one I learned today. | 04:37 |
| meeeeeeeee | my ubuntu installation keep showing black screen and thn this screen starts blinking with verticle white and black strips at the top 1/3rd of the screen....nothing works after tht and i have to restart the system | 04:37 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I installed the non-free nvidia driver 256.44 and Im trying to get screen cloneing to work with my new 27" LCD TV/Monitor. Is there a trick to this? | 04:37 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, nvidia-settings will be your best best | 04:37 |
| juanpaps | hola | 04:37 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: install nvidia-settings.. after install you'll find it in system>preference or Admin | 04:38 |
| spur | meeeeeeeee: bad video card? | 04:38 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, its probably already installed | 04:38 |
| jfeole | meeeeeeeee: maybe incorrect screen resolution? | 04:38 |
| archer | mobasher ? | 04:39 |
| martin__ | Is this normal ifdown eth1 -> Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1 | 04:39 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Yeah thats what Im using and when I try and set it up I save my xconfig file and everything. Blank on the second monitor. Main screen on login doesnt show the user list but I can hit enter and type my password and login but I cant see what it looks like other than the purple background. Does that help determine what my problem is? | 04:39 |
| rww | martin__: assuming you didn't set up eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces (which most people don't, because they use network manager instead), yes. | 04:39 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I set it to twinview | 04:40 |
| archer | mobasher : you need to "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" . and try *:80 instead of 0.0.0.0:80 if fails | 04:40 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | in lucid its "sudo service apache2 start" | 04:40 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, good | 04:40 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sync3times: I get nothing on monitor two though. So not good. hehe | 04:41 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, it wont take effect until X restarts | 04:41 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sync3times: Yeah I rebooted even. | 04:41 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: after installing the nvidia driver did you reboot or just restart X? or nothing? | 04:41 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | rebooted | 04:42 |
| Izinucs | sync3times: with the binary driver you have to reboot because it makes kernel mod changes. | 04:42 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, so in nvidia-settings you see both monitors and you have them set to twinview and clone? | 04:42 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: did you install the driver after downloading from nvidia's site or from the ppa that's setup to make it *much* easier? | 04:43 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sync3times:Oh wait I see there are both options and I dont know what the difference is. Configuration: Twinview. Position:Left, Right, Top, Bottom, Clone. | 04:43 |
| typemore | how can I play midi files on ubuntu? | 04:43 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Izinucs: downloaded it and installed it. | 04:43 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | .run file | 04:44 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, good, I do that too | 04:44 |
| spur | typemore: I'm not sure, will vlc play midi files? | 04:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Do I need to set each monitor to its own x screen? Then just select Clone for position? | 04:44 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 to be sure the driver is loading | 04:45 |
| === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy | ||
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: I tried that with no success at all.. it's much different in this release when compared to past releases.. I suggest uninstalling the driver then listing the ppa in your sources file.. update and install the driver from synaptic.. reboot.. and viola! It'll work. | 04:45 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, no, Twinview, and set the position to be clones | 04:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ok | 04:45 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 04:45 |
| sync3times | What do you see on the dead monitor? | 04:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sync3times:Clone on both? | 04:45 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, yeah, I think. I usually edit the file. But it sounds right | 04:46 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sync3times: the tv is getting no signal at all. | 04:46 |
| martin__ | eth1 (wired) just bound to an address which is not on my network... through avahi-autoipd... what is going on??? | 04:46 |
| archer | i never make fglrx work for my maverick 64-bits. any idea? | 04:46 |
| sync3times | LinuxGuy2009, make sure that the HorizRefresh does not say ~30 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:47 |
| spur | martin__: do you have firewire on that system? | 04:47 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: wait.. is the installed driver actaully working.. ?? if so leave it be. | 04:47 |
| fishcooker | i want to allow ff to automatically reloading, how to do that | 04:47 |
| martin__ | spur: no | 04:47 |
| fishcooker | ? | 04:47 |
| spur | martin__: pastebin ifconfig -a | 04:47 |
| bazhang | archer, #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 | 04:47 |
| archer | oh. | 04:48 |
| spur | martin__: I still find it odd that you have eth1 not eth0. | 04:48 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: I thought I was responding to a question from a different nick.. sorry.. to make changes in nvidia-settings stick you should run it from terminal with sudo.. it will then write an xorg.conf file if you want it to. | 04:48 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| spur | or gksudo if ubuntu is still using that. | 04:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Izinucs: Yeah i did "gksudo nvidia-settings. Do I want to merge with the old file or untick that option? | 04:50 |
| bazhang | spur, it is | 04:50 |
| martin__ | spur: dmesg says udev renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 | 04:51 |
| Izinucs | LinuxGuy2009: did you have a previous file? | 04:51 |
| spur | LinuxGuy2009: how about you backup the old file. | 04:51 |
| martin__ | spur: and I cannot pastebin, the network is not working on the ubuntu box yet. | 04:52 |
| spur | LinuxGuy2009: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old | 04:52 |
| === sailerboy is now known as zz_sailerboy | ||
| LinuxGuy2009 | Im gonna try seperate xscreens and see if that works at all. brbr | 04:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | brb | 04:52 |
| spur | martin__: of course, dain bramage over here. | 04:52 |
| spur | martin__: so eth1 is the only device listed. | 04:52 |
| martin__ | spur: eth1, eth1:avahi, lo and wlan0 (wlan0 needs wpa supplicant which I think is even more complex to setup) | 04:53 |
| archer | is it possible to rename wlan0 -> eth2 ? | 04:53 |
| Izinucs | martin__: when you right mouse click the network icon up by the clock is "networking enabled" checked? if you choose edit connections does it show eth0 or eth1? | 04:53 |
| x0rs | If I really want to delve deeply into linux, is there any reason I should choose one window manager over another? (ie gnome vs kde vs other)? | 04:53 |
| spur | martin__: usually, yes but, I have a homemade script that has worked wonderfully, but it isn't the GUI way. :/ | 04:54 |
| Izinucs | x0rs: the underlying systems are the same ... basically .. then it come down to which interface you like the best.. I use gnome on the lappy and kde on the desktop. | 04:55 |
| spur | x0rs: and I'm using openbox on my lappy. | 04:55 |
| x0rs | Izinucs: thanks a lot | 04:55 |
| _genuser_ | Hello People | 04:56 |
| _genuser_ | anyone know what the install file is on teh livecd? | 04:56 |
| spur | x0rs: i have heard that some people have stayed away from KDE because of QT and nearly religious/political type reasons. something about the licenseing. | 04:56 |
| Izinucs | _genuser_: you cold boot to the live cd and when the gui comes up you'll see it there. | 04:57 |
| spur | _genuser_: um, from Windows? | 04:57 |
| x0rs | spur: Oh, I see... what is QT? | 04:57 |
| === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy | ||
| _genuser_ | basically I have xubuntu liveCD. that's the only one that boots. I want to install kubuntu. | 04:57 |
| tensorpudding | there used to be an issue regarding the QPL that Qt used, but it was dual-licensed with the LGPL years ago | 04:57 |
| _genuser_ | so I'm downloading the iso file. | 04:57 |
| Izinucs | x0rs: no problem with the licensing.. perhaps in the past but qt is all opensource now. | 04:57 |
| spur | x0rs: there are 2 main GUI development kits. qt and tc/tkl. | 04:57 |
| _genuser_ | and this laptop do not have a burner. | 04:57 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I feel like a retard I got the dual display working just fine, I had the VGA port selected on the TV instead of the HDMI port. Doh! | 04:57 |
| meeeeeeeee | <spur> , <jfeole> xp installation on the same system but different partition works fine | 04:57 |
| x0rs | Izinucs: excellent, thank you | 04:57 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | good morning peeps | 04:58 |
| martin__ | Izinucs: yes it is enabled... but I did not know this button existed, I'll try to get things working from there instead of the command line | 04:58 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | what does gnome in the netbook adition call to lock the screen? cuase it isnt working... | 04:58 |
| Andre_Gondim | where I may find xorg.conf file? | 04:58 |
| tensorpudding | Andre_Gondim: it doesn't exist by default anymore | 04:59 |
| Izinucs | martin__: with network-manager installed cli changes are near impossible to get to stick. | 04:59 |
| spur | Andre_Gondim: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:59 |
| spur | Andre_Gondim: but you might want to restate you question in another way. | 04:59 |
| Andre_Gondim | tensorpudding, and who may I change it? if doesn't exist? | 04:59 |
| Fezzler | I bet this get asked a billion time. How do I get YouTube videos to play in Firefox | 04:59 |
| Andre_Gondim | tensorpudding, and how may I change it? if doesn't exist? | 05:00 |
| tensorpudding | Andre_Gondim: you can create your own /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:00 |
| Izinucs | martin__: network-manager seems to take over even after manually editing interfaces and resolv.conf.. so get a static ip I had to uninstall --purge and manually set it up or use wicd to gui configure it. | 05:00 |
| spur | Fezzler: install Flash from Adobe. | 05:00 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | download flash? | 05:00 |
| Fezzler | spur: which version? | 05:00 |
| tensorpudding | Andre_Gondim: but if it does not exist, X tries to do some autoconfiguration, which often works | 05:00 |
| Fezzler | tar? | 05:00 |
| MooshiMuushi | Stupid theora. | 05:01 |
| Izinucs | Fezzler: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree will do the trick.. then restart FF | 05:01 |
| Andre_Gondim | ok | 05:01 |
| spur | Fezzler: it'll list one for Ubuntu that is a .deb file. 2 of them, I think. depends on which version of Ubuntu you are running. | 05:01 |
| _genuser_ | Izinucs: using xubuntu livecd but downloading kubuntu ISO file to use. | 05:01 |
| spur | yeah, I forget, ubuntu is a little better with the non-free stuff than debian. | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: Do you have a flash drive? | 05:02 |
| MooshiMuushi | Question. Using the "apt-get" method on downloading things. What if you want to download more then one at once? E.g sudo apt-get install theora-bin, libtheora-dbg? Is that correct? | 05:02 |
| tensorpudding | MooshiMuushi: No comma, just spaces | 05:03 |
| MooshiMuushi | tensorpudding, so...sudo apr-get install theora-bin theora-dbg? | 05:03 |
| Izinucs | MooshiMuushi: yes. but apt-get :) | 05:03 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: basically the livecd running and the iso downloading. I thought I'd mount the iso as cdrom and run the installer. | 05:04 |
| tensorpudding | MooshiMuushi: Read the manual page on apt-get | 05:04 |
| MooshiMuushi | Izinucs, Ahaha thanks :D | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: It doesn't work that way unforunately. | 05:04 |
| zain | Hey | 05:04 |
| MooshiMuushi | tensorpudding, Ok then. | 05:04 |
| spur | _genuser_: doesn't work that way. :( | 05:04 |
| === zain is now known as Zain | ||
| MooshiMuushi | Thank you tensorpudding and Izinucs :) | 05:04 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: oh, it won't install even if you manually run the installer? | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: You'll need to boot from the kubuntu iso to install kubuntu (or install Xubuntu then install kubuntu-desktop). | 05:05 |
| gartral | WOW HOW ANNOYING | 05:05 |
| gartral | ok | 05:05 |

| braden_ | Could somebody help me? | 05:05 |
| Zain | I have Ubuntu 10.04 | 05:05 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: *but*, you can boot from the kubuntu iso without burning it to a CD. | 05:05 |
| Zain | how do I upgrade ? | 05:05 |
| Izinucs | braden_: just ask a question.. if someone knows the answer they will | 05:05 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: ok, how would one go about that? | 05:05 |

| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: so how do I boot from kubuntu iso without burning to cd? | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: There are a few ways. If you have a flash drive, the easiest is to use the boot disk utility that comes on the Xubuntu CD (I don't know where it is in the menus for Xubuntu though). | 05:08 |
| tensorpudding | FarOutInFernley: This depends on what you have configured Update Manager to do | 05:08 |
| Izinucs | FarOutInFernley: 10.04 will be supported for 3 years.. 10.10 for 18 months.. but yes.. there is a way to upgrade. | 05:08 |
| archer | firefox on ... version? | 05:08 |
| FarOutInFernley | let me look into that | 05:08 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: sorry, you were typing the response. :) | 05:08 |
| spur | _genuser_: there are ways around burning an iso but they require many times more time and generally aren't worth the effort. | 05:08 |
| meeeeeeeee | my ubuntu installation keep showing black screen and thn this screen starts blinking with verticle white and black strips at the top 1/3rd of the screen....nothing works after tht and i have to restart the system | 05:08 |

| Fezzler | I've installed Flash like 3 times now and still no YouTube in Firefox | 05:09 |
| Izinucs | meeeeeeeee: is your monitor a crt or lcd? | 05:09 |
| rww | braden_: open gedit from Applications -> Accessories, go to File -> Open, browse to /etc/apt/, and open sources.list. Select all, copy, paste into http://paste.ubuntu.com/. | 05:09 |
| spur | meeeeeeeee: what kind of monitor do you ahve? | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: You're welcome. In Gnome the utility is System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator. It's probably something similar on Xubuntu. | 05:09 |
| meeeeeeeee | <Izinucs> monitor is not lcd n type of video card i dont know | 05:10 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: gotta be in there in xfce. :) | 05:10 |
| Cage | anybody use Kubuntu10.04 | 05:10 |
| martin__ | Izinucs: I got wlan0 to connect with the GUI you indicated... I can ping and ssh by IP, but not by name, and only within my network. Although the nameservers are written in /etc/resolv.conf | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: I'm sure it is, I just don't know where it is in the menus. | 05:11 |
| spur | meeeeeeeee: can you boot to a cli? a recovery console? | 05:11 |
| Izinucs | meeeeeeeee: most likely the system hasn't picked up the correct resolution and frequency of the monitor.. xrandr controls that.. | 05:11 |
| Izinucs | martin__: with wicd? .. should also work for wired connections.. did you uninstall network-manager? | 05:11 |
| meeeeeeeee | <Izinucs>,<spur> i am very new to linux n ubuntu...so please explain | 05:12 |
| spur | martin__: are you referring to internal hostnames that you can't ping by? | 05:12 |
| braden_ | i give up xD im not made for this haha | 05:12 |
| _genuser_ | braden_: giving up on what? | 05:13 |
| _genuser_ | on ubuntu? | 05:13 |
| braden_ | everything | 05:13 |
| braden_ | yeah pretty much | 05:13 |
| martin__ | Izinucs: I used the button next to the time to get wlan0 and WPA to work | 05:13 |
| _genuser_ | it shouldn't be that bad. | 05:13 |
| spur | I'm trying to figure out what braden_ was looking for. | 05:13 |
| _genuser_ | ubuntu is one of the easiest distro to use. | 05:13 |
| co1n | braden_, you just have to edit a config file | 05:14 |
| braden_ | not for me xD | 05:14 |

| _genuser_ | blakkheim: I think so. last time I installed via ubuntu, it was messed up. | 05:15 |

| E-Dracon | hey, can someone here help me with the desktop installer for Ubuntu? | 05:16 |
| co1n | braden_, because of your error, you may not update anything ? | 05:16 |

| ubottu | E-Dracon: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:16 |
| meeeeeeeee | changing th video card is not an option here | 05:16 |
| co1n | braden_, can you manage to edit the file named sources.list | 05:16 |
| martin__ | how do I invoke the network manager from the command line? | 05:16 |
| co1n | braden_, located at /etc/apt/ | 05:16 |
| braden_ | i dont know how | 05:17 |
| braden_ | im so new to linux and ubuntu | 05:17 |
| braden_ | i used windows | 05:17 |
| E-Dracon | The Ubuntu desktop installer isnt working for me, it brings me straight to an error stating "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR2." | 05:17 |
| Izinucs | martin__: so you don't have a valid ip address yet.. just connected to the router.. open the interface and disconnect the wireless and then reconnect | 05:17 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: did you try putting a disk in the drive? | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | E-Dracon: When do you get that error? | 05:18 |
| E-Dracon | it's the desktop installer | 05:18 |
| E-Dracon | it's the only thing that appears when I open wubi.exe | 05:18 |
| E-Dracon | I've downloaded it twice | 05:19 |
| co1n | braden_, see this link http://paste.ubuntu.com/500756/ | 05:19 |
| braden_ | okay | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | E-Dracon: Try rebooting with the Ubuntu CD in the CD drive. It's the more common way to install Ubuntu. | 05:19 |
| co1n | braden_, open a terminal and try these commands, one line at a time | 05:19 |
| johnwell | good noon everyone! | 05:19 |
| E-Dracon | I have no blank disks or USBs or SD cards available | 05:19 |
| E-Dracon | that is why I'm using the desktop installer | 05:19 |
| Izinucs | martin__: when you uninstalled the network-manager did you also use the purge option? .. if not.. then sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager .. wicd and network-manager don't play well together. | 05:20 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: I've never used Wubi, never had windows, but I will try to help | 05:20 |
| mawst | Anyone happen to know where the Q3 installer installs q3 too? I don't see a menu entry or anything. | 05:20 |
| steal | !help | 05:20 |

| gartral | hello all, i need to sort out this bus error that firefox is giving me.. i dont know how to extract any useful info, and i cant get onto ubuntu.com to download a new iso to test.. | 05:20 |
| spur | E-Dracon: do you have a virtual CD-ROM such as umm... daemon tools ? | 05:20 |
| martin__ | Izinucs: the ip looks valid, and the DNS servers are listed | 05:20 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: so you've downloaded the windows desktop installer of 10.04 0r 10.10? | 05:20 |
| Jordan_U | spur: That won't help. | 05:20 |
| spur | eh, I had never tried it. | 05:21 |
| Izinucs | martin__: if you didn't purge nm do that.. then restart the networking | 05:21 |

| braden_ | i got that | 05:21 |
| E-Dracon | Whatever one is currently on the Ubuntu.com website is what I downloaded | 05:21 |
| braden_ | sorry | 05:21 |
| braden_ | didnt mean to | 05:21 |
| co1n | braden_, don't ast code here ^^ | 05:21 |
| gartral | E-Dracon: they're all up there | 05:21 |
| braden_ | okay | 05:21 |
| noisewaterphd | they are both on the website | 05:21 |
| E-Dracon | the one right here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer | 05:21 |
| martin__ | Izinucs: I did not uninstall the network manager. I think it was never installed in the first place. This is a mythbuntu iso I used. | 05:21 |
| noisewaterphd | but I assume you mean the main download page, which i think is still 10.04 | 05:22 |
| braden_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/500757/ | 05:22 |
| braden_ | i get that | 05:22 |
| Izinucs | martin__: ah.. they do have a default install but I don't know what it is.. mythbuntu can be different.. thus some confusion here when trying to troubleshoot.. | 05:22 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: how much hard drive space do you have remaining? | 05:23 |
| co1n | braden_, what was the command that you used to get that ? gedit one ? | 05:23 |
| E-Dracon | 416GB | 05:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | braden_, could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file? you seem to have an "rm" in there, that shouldn't be. | 05:23 |
| E-Dracon | noisewaterphd: 416GB | 05:24 |
| noisewaterphd | E-dracon: when do you get the error? I think you need more hard drive space to run WUBI | 05:24 |
| martin__ | okay, I do have the nm, it is running as the NetworkManager program | 05:24 |
| E-Dracon | I get it at the moment I open wubi.exe | 05:24 |
| unkmar | more than 416G? | 05:24 |
| braden_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/500758/ | 05:24 |
| braden_ | got that | 05:24 |
| Izinucs | martin__: if that's there and you installed wicd there will be issues. | 05:25 |
| braden_ | iv tried installing it with that line | 05:25 |
| E-Dracon | and 416GB is almost half a TB | 05:25 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: if I'm not mistaken, wubi is going to download all of the install disk and create a virtual drive on you machine, reboot and install from it. I think you need 700mb | 05:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | braden_, what distro/version are you using? | 05:25 |
| noisewaterphd | or so, you know like cd sizesish | 05:25 |
| braden_ | Xubuntu | 05:25 |
| E-Dracon | I have 416GB that is 416000MB | 05:25 |
| E-Dracon | approx | 05:25 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: oh GB | 05:25 |
| Cage | E-Dracon:wubi install is easy to op. | 05:26 |
| co1n | braden_, try less /etc/apt/sources.list (less should be installed) | 05:26 |
| E-Dracon | and doesnt work for me | 05:26 |
| martin__ | Izinucs: I do not have wicd (find / -name "*wicd*" returns nothing) | 05:26 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: so you get the error as soon as you start up wubi? | 05:26 |
| E-Dracon | yp | 05:26 |
| Cage | you just need chose a Local Disk to install it | 05:26 |
| E-Dracon | technically Wubi doesnt even open | 05:26 |
| E-Dracon | just the error | 05:26 |
| Cage | which Disk you chosed ,C?or D? | 05:27 |
| E-Dracon | I don't even get to that screen | 05:27 |
| steal | hi all how can I translate command output in english to ask for help ???? | 05:27 |
| Izinucs | martin__: ok.. then it's only nm .. at this point I'm stuck.. not sure what else to suggest. | 05:27 |
| E-Dracon | only an error pops up | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | E-Dracon: Supposedly if you click paste the error enough it should eventually work. | 05:28 |
| llutz | steal LANG=C <your command> | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | E-Dracon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/365881 | 05:28 |
| Cage | o ,I see,use a deamon tool to load your ISO | 05:28 |
| E-Dracon | what ISO | 05:28 |
| braden_ | could you put that into one of those paste bins?.... | 05:28 |
| E-Dracon | I have an EXE | 05:28 |
| braden_ | god i feel stupid | 05:28 |
| steal | thanks llutz | 05:28 |
| unkmar | E-Dracon: wubi has to have SOMETHING to install. it is the installer, it needs data. | 05:29 |
| Cage | o,you have download a ubuntu ISO.just like a OS cd | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | unkmar: Wubi will download the iso for him. | 05:29 |
| unkmar | how big is that .EXE file? | 05:29 |
| Cage | only a wubi.exe cant install ubuntu | 05:29 |
| kaizen | what's the install command for zlib i thought it was apt-get install zlib-dev | 05:29 |
| noisewaterphd | E-Dracon: eject any empty discs, or put something, anything in to your empty optical drives | 05:29 |
| noisewaterphd | or just click through the error and it will move to the next drive | 05:30 |
| co1n | braden_, just type in a terminal : less /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:30 |
| unkmar | kaizen: wouldn't -dev mean you plan to modify source code? | 05:30 |
| noisewaterphd | but it will do it a lot during the install, so I'd make anything empty, not empty | 05:30 |
| noisewaterphd | unkmar: the downloadable Wubi is small, it downloads the files during the install | 05:30 |
| gartral_ | unkmar: it more means you can download sourcecode | 05:30 |
| Izinucs | noisewaterphd: liblz-dev | 05:31 |
| kaizen | unkmar no i am trying to build another source and it requires zlib | 05:31 |
| E-Dracon | hey... clicking it 500 times worked | 05:31 |
| kaizen | unkmar: configure: error: Zlib header (zlib.h) not found. Tor requires zlib to build. | 05:31 |
| unkmar | zlibc ?? | 05:32 |
| rww | kaizen: Why are you building tor? the tor project provides a repository for Ubuntu | 05:32 |
| _genuser_ | lol, hte xubuntu install can't find a single disk | 05:32 |

| Jordan_U | _genuser_: Has the drive ever been used as part of a RAID array? | 05:33 |

| kaizen | llutz: thanks | 05:34 |
| Izinucs | xim_: sudo apt-get install -f .. might fix it. | 05:34 |
| co1n | braden_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/500765/ | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: The Ubuntu installer ignores drives that have RAID metadata that it can't understand, as if it *is* part of an array then writing to just one drive would be very bad. | 05:35 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: no, it's brand new. I just tried it with ubuntu installer and it was working fine. Only reason it's stopped was that CD wasn't readable. | 05:35 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: but with xubuntu installer, it comes up blank. | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: Odd. Same Ubuntu release (10.04.1)? | 05:36 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: same. both 8.0 installer. | 05:36 |
| braden_ | there is a lot going on now | 05:37 |
| braden_ | odd characters | 05:37 |
| _genuser_ | ok rebooting | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | _genuser_: Why are you installing 8.04 rather than 10.04.1 ? | 05:37 |
| _genuser_ | Jordan_U: lol, 'coz 8.0 is the only one I have on CD burnt. | 05:37 |
| rww | Ubuntu version numbers are year.month. Presumably, you mean 8.04. | 05:37 |
| xim_ | Izinucs, when I do that the main message is Setting up ntop (3:3.3-11ubuntu1) ... | 05:38 |
| xim_ | dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script: Exec format error | 05:38 |
| _genuser_ | rww: right, adding that .04 really means a whole lot more now and has fixed the installer issue. thank you the pedantic bs | 05:38 |
| Izinucs | xim_: sorry.. that was my only suggestion.. someone else will have to pic it pu | 05:38 |

| LordDragon | hey all | 05:43 |
| Winkiller | Hola | 05:43 |
| LordDragon | i am trying to install the full mplayer, along with gui, and all the codecs. what packages do i need to install? | 05:43 |
| redbeans | what up | 05:43 |
| Pentium3 | Hello. | 05:44 |
| Sn0wman | probably mplayer and the gstreamer good bad ugly packages | 05:44 |
| Pentium3 | Why doesn't Ubuntu come with the gstreamer packages, so people who dont have internet can play MP3's? | 05:46 |
| rww | Pentium3: legal reasons | 05:46 |
| Pentium3 | rww: ahh, k. | 05:46 |
| Izinucs | Pentium3: the mp3 codec is a paid codec.. | 05:46 |
| Sn0wman | This might be a stupid question but how is it "paid" | 05:47 |
| Pentium3 | Izinucs: thanks, I was just curious, cause a year ago that was a pain in my neck, I didnt have internet then. | 05:47 |
| Pentium3 | Had to lug the pc to a friends.. | 05:47 |
| Sn0wman | I can download the gstreamer codec and it plays mp3 fine. I didn'thave to pay antying | 05:48 |
| LordDragon | is mplayer the best video player for ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| LordDragon | it seems pretty basic | 05:48 |
| Sn0wman | I like vlc | 05:48 |
| roccity_ | LordDragon, I might recommend vlc | 05:48 |
| Sn0wman | it's basic but supports freakin everything | 05:48 |
| Sn0wman | -I man vlc not mplayer | 05:48 |
| Sn0wman | mean* | 05:48 |
| Izinucs | Sn0wman: of course not.. that's because the right gstreamer codec *will* play mp3's .. but it may not be legal in some countries to use. | 05:49 |
| rww | software patents, and all that | 05:49 |
| LordDragon | roccity_, i heard that the new vlc isnt in the normal repos for ubuntu 10.04 | 05:49 |
| Sn0wman | ? I just installed it via repos | 05:49 |
| LordDragon | sn0wflake, yeah its the old version though right? | 05:49 |
| roccity_ | LordDragon, it should be in multiverse I think | 05:50 |
| LordDragon | their website says: | 05:50 |
| LordDragon | Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS | 05:50 |
| LordDragon | VLC version 1.0.6 in Ubuntu 10.04 is out-of-date. We recommend you install VLC 1.1.x manually. If you wish to install VLC 1.0.6 anyway, please refer to the instructions above for Ubuntu 10.10. Note that there will be some bugs; you are on your own. | 05:50 |
| FloodBot1 | LordDragon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:50 |
| roccity_ | LordDragon, it might not be the snapshot but it would be the latest stable I think | 05:50 |
| LordDragon | sorry FloodBot1 | 05:50 |
| Sn0wman | oh yah. I guess it is the old version | 05:51 |
| LordDragon | im looking for 1.1.x | 05:51 |
| LordDragon | anyone know a place for that? | 05:51 |
| Sn0wman | lzinucs: how can it be illegal to use in some countries? how can you patent a codec? | 05:52 |
| Winkiller | My Ati gfx card problem : I installed ati prop. Driver on ubuntu studio 10.04 but it didnt spotted the mobility radeon 5450 (on my dell ins. 1564). I tried to install the ati drivers on the live dvd but one of the packages wont install. What to do?? | 05:52 |
| LaithBSoul-kun | the current vlc has no gpu acceleration support but the latest version does but upgrading it at this time would break a lot of things | 05:52 |
| Izinucs | Sn0wman: there's lots on the web about that.. lots of codecs are patented.. | 05:52 |
| Jordan_U | Sn0wman: U.S. (and other) patent law is absurd. | 05:52 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: the mpeg-consortium holds the rights on mp3. every dev using that in his software has to license/pay it | 05:52 |
| rww | Sn0wman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues | 05:52 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: fortunately some don't ... | 05:53 |
| roccity_ | LordDragon, you could always check the backports and proposed repos | 05:53 |
| Sn0wman | but if you're not a dev'ing with it, you can just use it for playback for free? | 05:53 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: yes | 05:54 |
| === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu | ||
| Jordan_U | Sn0wman: Not in certain countries, no. | 05:54 |
| rww | Sn0wman: "Many organizations have claimed ownership of patents related to MP3 ***decoding*** or encoding." | 05:54 |
| knolls | how do i enable ubuntu to recognize my Fn key as an actual key instead of whatever else it does? I don't have a mod4 key for fluxbox and i want one, any ideas? | 05:54 |
| LaithBSoul-kun | roccity updating vlc will break a lot of other things | 05:54 |
| Sn0wman | lol so if you move to a certain country, it could be illegal to listen to some of ur music? | 05:54 |
| geminoid | Audacity can play Mp3 and you can save mp3 with LAME plugin | 05:54 |
| LordDragon | hey how can i found what version the vlc is before apt-get ing it ? | 05:55 |
| Jordan_U | Sn0wman: Yes. Like I said, it's patently absurd. | 05:55 |
| Sn0wman | just type in vlc into the terminal | 05:55 |
| rww | playing the music isn't the problem. distributing codecs that play music, without a patent license, is. | 05:55 |
| Sn0wman | the first thing that comes up is the version | 05:55 |
| LordDragon | sn0wflake, i have installed any vlc yet. | 05:55 |
| Winkiller | Ahem | 05:55 |
| llutz | software patents are generally absurd | 05:55 |
| LordDragon | i want to make sure the one its going to install, is the newest one from the new repo i added | 05:55 |
| rww | ("music" being music in MP3) | 05:56 |
| rww | LordDragon: apt-cache policy vlc | 05:56 |
| rww | you want the "Candidate" line | 05:56 |
| roccity_ | LordDragon, if you really want the latest then you could compile from source | 05:56 |
| Pentium3 | So ogg and flac are free, which is why Ubuntu can play them without downloading codecs? | 05:56 |
| Sn0wman | LordDragon:Like roccity_ said, I would compile from source | 05:56 |
| rww | Pentium3: yes | 05:57 |
| Pentium3 | rww: k thanks | 05:57 |

| LaithBSoul-kun | LordDragon don't try to update vlc trust me it will break all other programs that use the gstreamer codecs | 05:58 |

| martin__ | could my network problems be related to ipv6? Is ipv6 on by default in ubuntu? | 06:00 |

| roccity_ | LordDragon, not necessarily | 06:00 |
| Sn0wman | Only thing is the fglrx drivers for my ATI 4870 breaks everything | 06:01 |
| Winkiller | Hola. Will soneI installed ati prop. Driver on ubuntu studio 10.04 but it didnt spotted the mobility radeon 5450 (on my dell ins. 1564). I tried to install the ati drivers on the live dvd but one of the packages wont install. | 06:01 |
| Sn0wman | Winkiller: what package and did you update the repos? | 06:02 |
| AbhiJit | hi | 06:02 |
| Sn0wman | hi | 06:03 |
| co1n | I have a Jaunty 9.04 server version used as a web server (Apache, php etc) with several sites on it, 9.04 end of support is next month, how safe is a dist-upgrade ? | 06:03 |
| Winkiller | Nah. Dont have ne access on laptop | 06:03 |
| roccity_ | co1n, would still recommend backing up and fresh install | 06:04 |
| Sn0wman | Winkiller: well you have to have internet to install packages... | 06:04 |
| Avt_ | hi guys, im looking for an ATI rpm driver, can someone please help me? | 06:04 |
| Winkiller | It was one of the fglrx packs on the setup dvd forgot its not live | 06:04 |

| Avt_ | to deb | 06:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | !alien | Avt_ | 06:05 |
| ubottu | Avt_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 06:05 |
| roccity_ | Avt_, if you are using Ubuntu then you can try the hardware driver menu item | 06:05 |

| Sn0wman | Avt: why not just download from the site and install from terminal? or download from restricted drivers? | 06:06 |
| Avt_ | I looked | 06:06 |
| Sn0wman | Winkiller: so are you good now? | 06:06 |
| frankbro | Is it possible to have diffent workspace in different screen on a dual screen setup ? | 06:06 |
| Avt_ | im on radion saphire x800 gto | 06:06 |
| roccity_ | Avt_, then you would have to compile the module yourself and load it | 06:06 |
| Sn0wman | or you should be able to install the fglrx package in synaptic | 06:07 |
| Avt_ | how | 06:07 |
| LordDragon | thanks guys | 06:07 |
| LordDragon | :) | 06:07 |
| LordDragon | one more question | 06:07 |
| Sn0wman | Avt_: are you asking me how? | 06:07 |
| Avt_ | snowman I will look | 06:07 |
| LordDragon | where is the gnome setting file that contains the setting for "maxnumber of UID to display at login screen" ? | 06:07 |
| steal | pls help me with the fglrx problem I just UPGRADED my version from karmic to lucid and I get this error... now updated with divert --list output and with fglrx.postrm content... what can I do??? I need to format and reinstal from beginning? but I have a problem for this beacause my personal folder are encrypted and I have lost the key so If I format the root I don't know if I can recuperate all my data.... and I can't run the lastest updated kernel | 06:07 |
| LordDragon | i heard it was gdm.conf | 06:07 |
| rww | Avt_: That card uses a R480 chipset, which isn't supported by any version of fglrx that's compatible with current versions of Xorg. | 06:07 |
| LordDragon | but i cant find any such file | 06:07 |
| Avt_ | I dont think I stuttered | 06:07 |
| rww | hence the Hardware Drivers window not offering it. | 06:08 |
| steal | the updated pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu.com/500778/ | 06:08 |
| Sn0wman | Avt_: well don't be rude. I wasn't sure who you were asking and what you were asking about | 06:08 |
| rww | and by "not supported by", I mean that it won't work at all, not just that we don't support it | 06:08 |
| Avt_ | so I need to google compile ati | 06:08 |
| rww | Basically, you're stuck with the free software driver, which should have been activated automatically. | 06:08 |
| Avt_ | really? that sucks | 06:09 |
| linze | morning | 06:09 |
| Avt_ | cant compile it? | 06:09 |
| rww | Avt_: nope | 06:09 |
| rww | Avt_: ATI dropped support for the card from fglrx, so you're basically screwed as far as fglrx goes. | 06:09 |
| Avt_ | ok ty | 06:09 |
| xim_ | I just installed iplist, for some reason I had to go in and manual remove the .p2p from the update files for it to read them, do I also have to remove it from the allow.p2p files that arent .gz? | 06:10 |
| xim_ | *.php not p2p | 06:11 |
| xim_ | nevermind i was confused | 06:11 |
| ryyzyy | Could some one point me to a casual chat related to open source shit | 06:14 |

| Avt_ | Sn0wman thankyou for your help and sorry about the comment | 06:17 |
| Sn0wman | Anyone know why when I'm connected to the repo server and doing huge updates of like 200MB of stuff, my download slowly rises up and then drops to 0 and repeats? It looks like a lauching ramp | 06:17 |
| Sn0wman | Avt_: np man | 06:17 |
| roccity_ | is there a way to stop rhythmbox from downloading episodes automatically? I would rather download them manually | 06:18 |
| Sn0wman | I have like 16Mbps (not MBps) which is like 1.2MBps so it should be flying but it gets up to 300kBps and then drops to 0 | 06:18 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: have you tried a different mirror? | 06:19 |
| AbhiJit | abhijain, :D | 06:20 |
| Emanon | hey all is there anyway i can get a graphical login over ssh in ubuntu 10.04? like i login remotely and have a gui instead of cli? | 06:21 |
| abhijain | AbhiJit: hello | 06:21 |
| Gryllida | Emanon: use vnc | 06:21 |
| Gryllida | !vnc | 06:21 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 06:21 |
| Sn0wman | llutz:as in changing the "download from" in Settings -> repository? | 06:22 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: sounds like, i prefer to modify my sources.list | 06:22 |
| Emanon | reading now Gryllida thanks | 06:23 |
| Sn0wman | llutz: yah but how do you know what to change it to? | 06:23 |
| Gryllida | Emanon: ok | 06:23 |
| Gryllida | Emanon: take in mind that is is bandwidth comsuming, if you don't have much of good internet, cli would do. | 06:24 |
| Sn0wman | llutz: this is my sources.list http://pastebin.com/UkTE0mtr | 06:24 |
| Emanon | i meant to a second user like not login to screenshare but as a completely separate graphical users | 06:25 |
| Emanon | err user* that last time | 06:25 |
| martin__ | should I disable ipv6? I don't use it and it seems to cause networking issues. | 06:26 |
| Emanon | i can screenshare just fine but can i do 2 separate graphical logins, say my normal user on all the time then login to my root remotely or whatever? | 06:26 |
| Emanon | and still retain graphical login on both | 06:27 |
| Gryllida | vnc can do that | 06:27 |
| Emanon | ok cool | 06:27 |
| adamonline451 | Hello everyone! I just got a software RAID 5 array set up, and am looking to use it as a /home mount only. I'll be removing my RAID 0 main drive and reinstalling Ubuntu on one of those physical drives. My question is, will this RAID 5 array be safe after a new installation, and how can I set it up so I can set it as my /home partition during install? | 06:28 |
| Shabbypenguin | um so i have a problem... my desktop menus are missing | 06:29 |
| Shabbypenguin | so can anyone help? | 06:31 |
| Badger32d | adamonline451 - raid 5 is not good for running an OS off of | 06:31 |
| Sn0wman | llutz: so are not sure where to find the alternate mirrors? | 06:31 |
| Badger32d | for a backup, its good - but not your main drive | 06:31 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: look at the wiki, there should be a list. i don't have www here, cannot point you to one, sry | 06:32 |
| adamonline451 | Badger32d: No, my intent is to run the OS off a single physical/virtual drive, with three other drives in RAID 5 as the /home partition :) Does that sound better? | 06:32 |
| Badger32d | adam - my bad - just saw that. | 06:32 |
| adamonline451 | Badger32d: No problem :) | 06:32 |
| Badger32d | yeah.... but /home still has alot of stuff running from it... Not a bad thought though... I dont see the issue, it will just read and write a little slower | 06:32 |
| Sn0wman | llutz: hey it's np. I was just wondering if you happened to know off the top of your head | 06:33 |
| adamonline451 | Badger32d: Would you happen to know if I would be able to restore the array with a new installation of Ubuntu? Or better yet, be able to assign it as my /home partition during the new installation? | 06:33 |
| Badger32d | you can set it as /home if it is a hardware RAID | 06:33 |
| braden_ | its saying cant open file to write | 06:34 |
| llutz | Sn0wman: i'm actually not even running ubuntu, so "no" again ;) | 06:34 |
| sadiq_ | can anyone tell me how to get the text message under my volume control when I hover my mouse over it? | 06:34 |
| martin__ | my network interfaces are getting ipv6 addresses. how do I get rid of ipv6? | 06:34 |
| braden_ | i need to fix my source.list | 06:34 |
| Badger32d | I've actually done similar, but raid0 | 06:34 |
| adamonline451 | Badger32d: Crud, I had a feeling... Do you know if it's non-trivial to change your /home directory after an installation? | 06:34 |
| Sn0wman | llutz: well thanks anyway :-) | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | adamonline451: its not too hard to move /home/ to another partittiion/filesystem/drive | 06:35 |
| braden_ | Someone help? | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | braden_: how did you breake it? whats wrong with it? | 06:35 |
| Badger32d | hmm, probably not... Depends on what is installed though adamonline 451 | 06:35 |
| adamonline451 | Badger32d: I actually managed to get the install I'm on right now running on a RAID 0 fake raid! Took me forever, haha... Which is why I want to migrate to the single main drive... | 06:35 |
| Emanon | Gryllida: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom doesnt exist any clues? | 06:35 |
| llutz | !ipv6 > martin__ | 06:35 |
| ubottu | martin__, please see my private message | 06:35 |
| braden_ | two lines that arent needed | 06:35 |
| braden_ | i have the right one now just cant save | 06:35 |
| braden_ | it gives me that pop up message | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | braden_: you are editing that file as root? | 06:36 |
| braden_ | i believe so.... | 06:36 |
| braden_ | im very new to all this | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | braden_: its a system file. so you have to do 'gksudo EDITOR /file' | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | braden_: then you proberly are not editing it as root | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:37 |
| Emanon | or anyone else can answer too i just figured Gryllida was being helpfull hehe | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Emanon: make the file if it dosent exist. | 06:37 |
| Gryllida | Emanon: apt-get install gdm | 06:38 |
| Emanon | okidoke | 06:38 |
| adamonline451 | Dr_Willis: Thank you, that sounds good :) | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres lots of 'extra' config files that are that way | 06:38 |
| Emanon | its installed Gryllida that file just doesnt exist | 06:38 |
| Gryllida | make it | 06:38 |
| Emanon | okidoke | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Now the Syntax for that file... no idea. I have one here from my 'backups' but it may be for the old gdm. | 06:39 |
| braden_ | its saying i have 115921 lines........ | 06:39 |
| co1n | braden_, in your sources.list file ? | 06:39 |
| braden_ | yes | 06:39 |

| ubuntu__ | what should i do to fix this | 06:39 |
| co1n | braden_, that's defenitly not normal, should be less than a hundred lines | 06:40 |

| ubuntu__ | anyone could help me configure vpn connection? | 06:41 |
| co1n | anyone has a default sources.list file for xubuntu ? ( for braden_ ) or know where to find one ? | 06:42 |
| ubuntu__ | !vpn | 06:42 |
| ubottu | For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 06:42 |
| braden_ | i ahve one | 06:42 |
| braden_ | have* | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | braden_: what was the command you used to edit your sources.list exactly? and you could pastebin your sources.list also | 06:43 |
| AbhiJit | co1n, you can ask in #xubuntu | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I wouldent think xubuntu's sources.list would differ from teh ubuntu one. | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | im on 10.10 right now. so that one is different. :) | 06:45 |
| rww | xubuntu and ubuntu have the same sources.list | 06:45 |
| jenva | what is the best free alternative to ultraedit? | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jenva: and ultraedit is what? | 06:45 |
| rww | 10.10 and 10.04 have the same sources.list if you replace "maverick" with "lucid" | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | and what makes it so special? | 06:45 |
| ubuntu__ | !vpn | 06:46 |
| AbhiJit | co1n, you can thank here too | 06:46 |
| AbhiJit | !pm > co1n | 06:46 |
| ubottu | co1n, please see my private message | 06:46 |
| Dulak | jenva: gedit has quite a few plugins that make it a better editor than you'd think | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to use geany as my text editor of choice. | 06:46 |

| x0rs | Anyone recommend one theme manager over another? metacity, compiz, beryl? | 06:47 |
| martin__ | all these return 1 after reboot (cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/disable_ipv6) but I still have an ipv6 default route with ip -6 r | 06:47 |
| AbhiJit | !best | x0rs | 06:47 |
| ubottu | x0rs: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:47 |
| Blue1 | x0rs: the one that works for you. I tend to use metacity, but it's a pref. thing. | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | x0rs: you mean a 'window manager' ? | 06:47 |
| martin__ | and I still cannot ping outside my LAN | 06:47 |
| ubuntu__ | when i try to configure pptp it keeps ticking eap why? | 06:48 |
| x0rs | dr_willis: yes | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | x0rs: beryl is gone... ate up by compiz.. | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | x0rs: if you want eye candy - use compiz | 06:48 |
| x0rs | dr_willis: i see metacity is already installed by default. how do i switch to compiz? | 06:48 |
| x0rs | excellent | 06:48 |
| jenva | dulak: yes i think with multi-edit thanks | 06:48 |
| martin__ | but I can ssh to another host, and ping the world from there | 06:48 |
| x0rs | is it easy to install? | 06:48 |
| RondoRaven | does anybody know why resolutions in grandr would not apply successfully if they are over 1024x768, but OK if under? | 06:48 |
| Blue1 | martin__: can you pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | x0rs: compiz is installed by default | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | x0rs: if your drivers are set up right.. you are using it now | 06:49 |
| x0rs | oh ok i see | 06:49 |
| Blue1 | Dr_Willis: compiz is broken in 10.10 atm, prolly due to partial upgrade. | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Blue1: it seems to be working here. I just did a dist-upgrade. | 06:50 |
| DudeAdam | Hello | 06:50 |
| Blue1 | Dr_Willis: okay let me try again. I have an nvidia card. | 06:50 |

| martin__ | Blue1: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/267424/ | 06:51 |
| Sn0wman | RondoRaven: If you want to go over that, I'm pretty sure you need to install the restricted driver for your card | 06:52 |
| Sn0wman | RondoRaven: or follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 | 06:52 |
| Syria | Hi, I can't see the sound controls on the upper gnome panel suddenly lost it, how can I restore it? | 06:52 |
| RondoRaven | thanks but i need to disable acpi apic and lapic to boot and so all the nvidia drivers bork my system | 06:53 |
| Sn0wman | Syria: you should right click on the bar -> add to panel -> add indicator applet | 06:53 |
| Sn0wman | RondoRaven: well then I guess you'll have to try to add the reso manually like in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | Syria | 06:54 |
| ubottu | Syria: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Syria: that command the bot gave is worth jotting down. In case you ever want to do a total reset of the panels. :) | 06:55 |

| jenva | btrfs will be include in grub2 in ubuntu 10.10? | 06:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Blue1: you havent updated today then? :) | 06:55 |
| jenva | anybody know | 06:55 |
| Blue1 | Dr_Willis: no I didn't think they did anything on weekends. | 06:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jenva: ask in #ubuntu+1 and ive not noticed.. | 06:55 |
| RondoRaven | Sn0wman: any advice how to generate a xorg.conf file based on what can be detected? | 06:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jenva: i think btrfs full support has been pushed back to the next release.. but it could be a feature of grub2.. not sure how to even check | 06:56 |
| RondoRaven | Sn0wman: in case of a blank one like I have | 06:56 |
| rww | jenva: no, you need to have /boot on a non-btrfs partition | 06:56 |
| Leman_Russ | How do I run a .jar file in Linux? | 06:56 |
| rww | or at least, you did as of a couple of weeks ago | 06:56 |

| llutz | Leman_Russ: java -jar foo.jar | 06:56 |
| Dr_Willis | theres no /boot/grub/btrfs.mod :) | 06:57 |
| Sn0wman | RondoRaven: yah I knew I saw it in a post. "If you prefer fiddling with xorg.conf you can generate one with: sudo Xorg -configure" | 06:57 |
| MooshiMuushi | Leman_Russ, sudo apt-get install java6-sdk | 06:58 |
| RondoRaven | Sn0wman: sounds like a good clue. thanks! | 06:58 |
| rww | !java | 06:58 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 06:58 |
| Syria | Hi, How can I share my wireless connection with my wifi mobile? | 06:58 |
| rww | !partner | 06:58 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 06:58 |
| Sn0wman | RondoRaven: but I'm pretty sure you'll have to stop gdm and X first with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 06:58 |
| MooshiMuushi | Is there a way to install FreeBSD applications/games on Ubuntu? | 06:59 |

| blakkheim | qweqweqwe: ssh | 07:04 |
| denysonique | qweqweqwe, openvpn, ssh, nm to connect to it | 07:04 |

| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 07:04 |
| denysonique | !gnash | 07:04 |
| ubottu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 07:04 |
| Badger32d | gnash is ok, but it is *not* for common usage - still got some kinks to work out | 07:05 |
| Syria | Badger32d: Dr.willis I mean which one is better, Adobe, gnash or something else. | 07:05 |
| denysonique | Badger32d, its fine for displaying ads ;) | 07:05 |
| MooshiMuushi | Dr_Willis, Thank you. I know that already. Question! Is there a way to convert FreeBSD programs to Ubuntu compatible? | 07:05 |
| Badger32d | adobe is best. Yes, from a oss view, I like gnash but flash is still the best overall. :) | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | MooshiMuushi: if they are written right.. they should compile.. | 07:05 |
| ryan__ | eh | 07:05 |
| atxq_ | hey | 07:06 |

| MooshiMuushi | Dr_Willis, Written write? What if they were written to be installed on FreeBSD. Is there a way to "convert" it over to Ubuntu? | 07:08 |
| atxq_ | I am getting tired of typing the same cmd in the terminal. is there a way to "save" them so I can select from a list, or something like this? | 07:08 |
| Blue1 | coz_: it worked fine in 10.04 | 07:08 |
| AbhiJit | atxq_, terminal log is saved some where you can open that file or you can just to arrow up or arrow down | 07:08 |
| coz_ | Blue1, do you recall the driver version you had on 10.04? | 07:08 |
| Blue1 | coz_: iirc 195 | 07:08 |
| Badger32d | denysonique: flash is like high fructose corn syrup. its everywhere and its killing us... :) | 07:09 |
| Badger32d | ;) | 07:09 |
| coz_ | Blue1, ok that should be fine.... when you try to start compiz what happens? | 07:09 |
| Blue1 | coz_: let me get error again hang | 07:09 |
| atxq_ | log file? seems like it would be better to just type the cmd in the terminal. the arrow option sometimes takes to long to find the cmd I want to use | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | MooshiMuushi: yes.. You can write code that works on both os's if you follow the proper standards... or you could not follow the standards and have to work at porting the code over... theres no magical 'convert this bad code to work on linux' command | 07:09 |
| atxq_ | be easier if I can enter a cmd and save it to a list or something | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | actually i seem to recall ages ago Linux being able to run 'bsd' binaries.. but ive never tried. | 07:10 |
| atxq_ | can I disable "repeat" cmd from being saved in the terminal? | 07:10 |
| === kickGebjgd is now known as loveGebjgd | ||
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: theres a bash/history setting for that. | 07:11 |
| atxq_ | what does the setting do exactly? | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: bash's history feature has a lot of very nice features taht get overlooked | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: it can be set to show/log/ or hide 'duplicate' commands | 07:11 |
| atxq_ | awesome | 07:12 |
| atxq_ | sounds promising already | 07:12 |
| MooshiMuushi | Dr_Willis, Ok. Thank you for the information :) | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.catonmat.net/blog/the-definitive-guide-to-bash-command-line-history/#download | 07:12 |
| Blue1 | coz_: destop effects could not be enabled. | 07:12 |
| atxq_ | the duplication of cmd is starting to get annoying | 07:12 |
| coz_ | Blue1, ok open a terminal and copy paste this command compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp & disown | 07:12 |
| coz_ | Blue1, pastebin the errors if any | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: Its setable.. read up on bash/bash history. I thought not showing dupes. was the default.. its set that way here at least. | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | wow the 'bash history cheat sheet' is 2 pages.. :) | 07:13 |
| atxq_ | where are these options located? | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | .bashrc most likely | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | theres several plaes to set bash settings | 07:14 |
| === loveGebjgd is now known as Chrysanthemum | ||
| atxq_ | duplication of cmd are everywhere on my cli; one instance is enough I would think | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | .bashrc has the setting right there near the top i see... | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | # don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | # ... or force ignoredups and ignorespace | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:ignorespace | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ignorespace --> put a space at the front of the command.. and the history wont 'log' that command. | 07:15 |
| atxq_ | Dr_Willis, thanks for the link | 07:15 |
| === Chrysanthemum is now known as AppreciateChrysa | ||
| Blue1 | !pastbin | blue1 | 07:16 |
| coz_ | Blue1, go to pastebin.com paste the errors then submit and paste the link it gives you here | 07:17 |
| atxq_ | I am here at the .bashrc | 07:17 |
| Blue1 | coz_: yes trying to find the url didn't remember. | 07:17 |
| atxq_ | would never think of this on my own | 07:17 |
| coz_ | Blue1, www.pastebin.com | 07:17 |
| thune3 | atxq_: if i remember correctly: sometimes the ignoredups gets in the way of using up-arrow->enter to repeat previous command. this is also annoying. | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: You woudl never think of checking a programs config files? :) | 07:18 |
| Blue1 | coz_: I have never seen this pastebin before give me a few | 07:18 |
| coz_ | ok | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | thune3: yes.. it does do that.. and i find it annoying | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | id rather have the dupes. | 07:18 |
| Blue1 | coz_: http://pastebin.com/PSY7Vzsb | 07:18 |
| atxq_ | not for bash I guess | 07:18 |
| coz_ | Blue1, did you just install the nvidia driver? | 07:19 |
| atxq_ | listen, so its HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:ignorespace | 07:19 |
| Blue1 | coz_: no it won;t let me. | 07:19 |
| coz_ | Blue1, ah ok | 07:19 |
| Blue1 | coz_: I will try again. | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: thats the line here.. its there by default. | 07:19 |
| atxq_ | I would like just one instance of a cmd | 07:19 |
| coz_ | Blue1, so the driver wont install? | 07:19 |
| coz_ | Blue1, is this card agp or pci? | 07:20 |
| atxq_ | I do not want to see ls like 10 times in the history; just once. is this possible? | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: all that does is make it not log if you ran (for example) ls 3 times in a row | 07:20 |
| Blue1 | coz_: I am not seeing any option to install the driver period. | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: one use for history is to generate 'scripts' so its not going to hide every time you ran 'ls' if it was done 20 commands back | 07:21 |
| Blue1 | coz_: agp | 07:21 |
| atxq_ | in a row I understand; I want it only once in the whole history | 07:21 |
| coz_ | Blue1, under system/administration/hardware drivers | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: thats not how it works | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | and that could really be annoying for some cases | 07:21 |
| Blue1 | coz_: nope it has additional drivers, but NO hardware drivers | 07:21 |
| atxq_ | I want just one instance of every cmd that I use, is this possible? | 07:22 |
| coz_ | Blue1, which nvidia drivers are listed there? | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: thats not how it works | 07:22 |
| atxq_ | in all my history, I would like just to see cd .. once | 07:22 |
| Blue1 | coz_: none | 07:22 |
| atxq_ | okay | 07:22 |
| dw_ | wewt | 07:23 |
| coz_ | Blue1, is this a clean install of ubuntu lucid or an upgrade? | 07:23 |
| atxq_ | so if I add a script to .bashrc to not log repeated cmd, that would work? | 07:23 |
| atxq_ | thinking that maybe I can search the history first, and if cmd logged, it would not log it again | 07:24 |
| Blue11 | coz_: clean install | 07:24 |
| coz_ | Blue11, just for my confort please run this command and pastebin the out glxinfo | grep -i render | 07:24 |

| Dr_Willis | atxq_: bashrc gets read at startup... once.. not sure what you are trying to acomplish | 07:26 |
| atxq_ | I just do not want to log duplicate cmd | 07:27 |
| === eddie is now known as Guest63634 | ||
| well_laid_lawn | atxq_: set a cronjob to do cat .bash_history | sort | uniq > .bash_history_trimmed and use that to find previous commands | 07:27 |
| atxq_ | I hate it when I do not feel like typying and have to arrow key like 20 times to get to what I want to do | 07:28 |

| Blue11 | coz_: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) | 07:28 |

| sweetpi | atxq_: use tab completion or write a script | 07:29 |
| AbhiJit | atxq_, and dont forget to give me that program! :P | 07:29 |
| coz_ | Blue11, mm ok do me a favor open system/administration/ and take a screenshot of that menu upload to picpaste.com | 07:29 |
| atxq_ | I am already thinking about this right now, but maybe with Perl | 07:29 |
| atxq_ | this option should have been implimented already in bash by now; the "do not log duplication" option | 07:30 |
| Blue11 | coz_: print screen doesn't work....let me try something else brb | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: Your feature would make how i use history.. somewhat useless.. but Im still not clear on how you are working with the history. | 07:31 |
| coz_ | Blue11, yes Applicatons/accessories take screenshot set to 3 or 4 seconds | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | atxq_: you can use !### to rerun some specific command thats high up in the history | 07:31 |
| Janhouse | I can't change permissions (chmod) of fat16 formated sd card mounted on my computer. How can I make it writable by other users if chmod isn't working on it? | 07:31 |
| thune3 | atxq_: 'history | grep something' and the copy paste w/mouse is a pattern I use 10 times a day | 07:31 |
| Blue11 | coz_: no go | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I tedn to do a history > foo.sh to make scripts :) | 07:32 |
| rww | coz_: Pressing printscreen while menus are open won't do anything. It's a fun not-going-to-be-fixed bug. | 07:32 |
| sweetpi | atxq_: iirc the reason ive never used ignore dups is if you do: "cd /; ls; cd /tmp/foo; <evil_cmd>; cd /; ls; <up arrow><enter>" your not going to like the results. someone correct me if im wrong | 07:33 |
| coz_ | rww, right which is why i asked him to set take a screenshot to about 3 seconds | 07:33 |
| Blue11 | coz_: private message ok? | 07:33 |
| coz_ | Blue11, sure | 07:33 |
| atxq_ | I use history so I do not have to type stuff all the type; it is easier to arrow key it, but after seeing duplicated cmd in the history it gets annoying having to wait like a minute to get to the last instance when you used a cmd | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont seem to have any issues 'waiting' for history.. Not sure how you are working at the command line... | 07:36 |
| atxq_ | just saying that there are certain moments when it would be nice to elimante duplications I guess; make life easier when you using the cli all the time | 07:36 |
| atxq_ | right? | 07:36 |
| llutz | atxq_: ctrl-r speeds that up | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Check the history docs. it may have the magical feature you are wanting... | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | reading those urls/guides i googled eralier.. taught me a few new things just now | 07:37 |
| === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees | ||

| Dulak | ctrl-r at the cli gives you a reverse search, easier than hitting the arrow more than a couple times | 07:38 |
| ManDay | Why are all the INFO pages on Ubuntu just the MAN pages?! That's very annoying! | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: not all of them are. | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: just many programers decide to cut/paste them that way. instead of making a real info page | 07:39 |
| ManDay | Dr_Willis: Many however. Why would someone do that?! | 07:39 |
| atxq_ | its all about preferences | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: because they were told 'make an info and a man page' | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: ive seen many man pages taht are just 'command --help' output also | 07:40 |
| atxq_ | preferences and options | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: or man pages that say 'see the info whatever' page | 07:40 |
| ManDay | Dr_Willis: See man ld - there it says for more information refer to the info page! But the info page (at least on ubuntu) is just the man page - doesnt make any sense | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | many people dont even know there are info pages. :) | 07:41 |
| rww | ManDay: The info pages are licensed under GFDL, which is incompatible with Debian's Free Software Guidelines, so they split them off into separate packages. | 07:41 |
| ManDay | So is that an ubuntu thing or just a problem of the specific app?! cant imagine that ld and the other GNU tools do that kind of crap to the user | 07:41 |
| llutz | devs don't write documentation, majority of users won't ever read :( | 07:41 |
| rww | I think, anyway. | 07:41 |
| ManDay | rww: So the info ld is SOMEWHERE - just not already installed on ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| ManDay | rww: what would be the according package? | 07:42 |
| sweetpi | atxq_: looks like I was wrong, seems ignoredups only ignores commands you have repeated, so if you do "cd /; ls; ls; ls;" it will only log "cd /; ls" | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | manpages-dev - Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development | 07:42 |
| ManDay | Dr_Willis: well the MAN pages I do have | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont see any infopages-dev :) | 07:42 |

| ManDay | indeed | 07:46 |

| Dr_Willis | the info pages and man pages do seem different... | 07:47 |

| ManDay | its amazing that throughout all the man pages i haven't found a single reference to the sytax AS expects - i can only find hints on the internet | 07:47 |
| ManDay | Dr_Willis: read however, that the info page has the exact same sentence in it | 07:47 |

| AbhiJit | duckie, apt-cache search ethtool | 08:27 |
| llutz | duckie: without internet, you will have to download the deb from another pc and copy it | 08:27 |

| nikolam | HI. Anyone knows how do I make bug on Launchpad for a package that is NOT installed on local system (I want to post a bug to a program team about PPA repo not available) | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | so the bug is that the program refers to a PPA thats down? | 08:42 |
| nikolam | Dr_Willis, yes | 08:44 |
| ectospasm | nikolam: are you sure it just isn't that you haven't added the PPA? | 08:44 |
| nikolam | Bug is exactly that. your pPa is down. | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | what program is this? thats dosent really sound like a 'bug' if the PPA comes back up... its fixed.. | 08:44 |
| ectospasm | you should probably contact the maintainer of the PPA directly | 08:45 |
| nikolam | it is: http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu | 08:45 |
| ross_ | test | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ive found the whole NX/Freenx stuff so confuseing to setup. :) i managed to do it once.. but i think tha twas luck. | 08:45 |
| ectospasm | Dr_Willis: I didn't have a problem with it last time. | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | pasrt of the issue i had was the docs/wiki pages seem to be 1/2 updated... I did manage to get 'somthing' working. but im not sure if it was freenx, or that other nx. (what was it called?) this was 4 mo ago i last tried. | 08:47 |
| nikolam | sources list : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/500824/ Error message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/500823/ | 08:47 |
| nikolam | thing is I actually get freenx on the list insisde synaptic now. only when refreshing repository lists, I get error | 08:49 |
| duckie | its now giving me eth0:avahi in ifconfig but no DHCP even if I manually assign | 08:50 |

| nikolam | rww, Aha. one more freenx. let me delete that? | 08:52 |
| rww | nikolam: does it have /user/ somewhere in it? | 08:52 |
| raven | evolution loads mails again and again also if they are deleted on server - what is going on here?? | 08:52 |
| nikolam | rww does not have user but have 4 freenx files | 08:53 |
| rww | nikolam: yeah, I'm guessing one or more of the files has lines in it that involve "http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/freenx-team/". Those need deleting. | 08:53 |
| rww | (the "/user" part shouldn't be there, and it looks like you have the right lines in sources.list) | 08:54 |

| Without | interm of reducing I/O | 10:06 |
| vinok | VegasMike, is there a firewall device in between? | 10:06 |
| VegasMike | I opened port 5900 and forwarded on my router | 10:06 |
| dugger5688_ | VegasMike: My first guess would be that the VNC server is set to deny non-local connections. | 10:07 |
| vinok | VegasMike, first thing to check, in the target machine check if the IP you are using right now is included in the VNC config | 10:07 |
| ShredMaster | Httrack needs proxy. How to do it? I cannot download.. | 10:08 |
| vinok | VegasMike, 2nd dont port forward the port, just make it open (forwarding a port will just mean youll only able to connect to 1 specific host) | 10:08 |

| dvrvm | hi. upstart jobs: is there any way i can make a "task" type job do something on receiving a stop trigger? | 10:11 |
| cryptopsy | erUSUL: how | 10:11 |
| vinok | VegasMike, try later when the target is on, just check the config. add the IP you have that is outside the subnet (which is by default VNC only allows) then check the firewall in between the 2 devices | 10:11 |
| VegasMike | Vinok, Can I ping you as a test? | 10:11 |
| sweetpi | VegasMike: pings are usually dropped at the router, and if the computer hosting vnc is off.. well there is your connection problem :) | 10:11 |
| erUSUL | cryptopsy: just open one of the places there and you will be in the explorere | 10:11 |
| llutz | vagastorm:add a line like"UUID=1234-4321-xx noneswapsw0 0" to /etc/fstab, get swaps UUID from blkid | 10:12 |
| cryptopsy | erUSUL: how can i copy things to /cdrom, its mounted as readonly | 10:12 |
| vinok | VegasMike, it will fail.. i blocked the pinging outside my subnet | 10:12 |
| cryptopsy | i can't umount it to remount it as rw | 10:12 |
| erUSUL | cryptopsy: a cdrom is by definition a read only medium ... | 10:12 |
| VegasMike | Remote pc has failed packets when I know he's on | 10:12 |
| cryptopsy | erUSUL: no its not a cdrom | 10:13 |
| cryptopsy | erUSUL: its called /cdrom but its the location from where ubuntu live is running | 10:13 |
| erUSUL | cryptopsy: what filesystem is it then? | 10:13 |
| vinok | VegasMike, and one more thing the safest and recommended way is connect to VPN on your network, add the private IP you assign in th VNC config. I really dont recommend connecting with your public IP into internal networks - very unsafe | 10:13 |
| VegasMike | Thanks to sweetpi and vinok | 10:13 |

| JJ_the_noob | like .. mounting a usb memory stick.. | 10:55 |
| Gryllida | Weezer: internet okay? | 10:55 |
| JJ_the_noob | have to get back to that later | 10:55 |
| _genuser_ | finally kubuntu without burning new cd | 10:56 |
| llutz | pmjp: whats wrong with plain ubuntu? gnome performs reasonable here on a aao531 | 10:56 |
| zadarmo3 | Weezer: It smells like you have Broadcom 43xxx | 10:56 |
| pmjp | seems some program windows are too big | 10:56 |
| Weezer | i got broadcom | 10:57 |
| headstrong | pmjp: too big? | 10:57 |
| pmjp | like easytag | 10:57 |
| Weezer | but in karmic before just putting the cable i can access to my network....i can see pc's around me | 10:57 |
| pmjp | half the window is cut | 10:57 |
| pmjp | besides that I had no problem with regular ubuntu | 10:57 |
| Sterist | can someone explain the purpose that the "root-system" package serves? | 10:58 |
| headstrong | pmjp: you have to figure out the best dpi for the resolution you are using | 10:58 |
| trijntje | !info root-system | 10:58 |
| ubottu | root-system (source: root-system): Meta package to install all ROOT packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.18.00-2.3ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 26 kB, installed size 72 kB | 10:58 |
| pmjp | I definately a gnome user | 10:58 |
| pmjp | my screen is 1024- 600 | 10:58 |
| headstrong | pmjp: then you can adjust your fonts | 10:58 |
| pmjp | I see | 10:59 |
| pmjp | I guess I will go back to regular ubuntu | 10:59 |
| pmjp | I miss a bottom bar lol | 10:59 |
| TiK | i use docky | 10:59 |
| headstrong | pmjp: when you use the correct dpi settings, your fonts will be displayed clearly | 10:59 |
| TiK | and window selector | 10:59 |
| TiK | no bottom bar | 10:59 |
| rww | Sterist: Have you read the long description? (available at http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/root-system ) | 11:00 |
| pmjp | Im glad I found a mirror site for big[ond | 11:01 |
| ZaxEZ | did u just say bigpond ;\ | 11:01 |
| headstrong | pmjp: i won't go to any chinese mirrors | 11:01 |
| Sterist | rww yes but i'm not sure exactly what it would be used for | 11:01 |
| Weezer | anyone? | 11:01 |
| headstrong | pmjp: and use their 'local' repos | 11:01 |
| Sterist | rww does it optimize file management or something? | 11:02 |
| mcsmurf | heh I just wanted to ask why "update-grub" gives me "grub-probe: error: Cannot restore the original directory", but I already found out :) | 11:02 |
| rww | Sterist: no, it's a scientific library for dealing with large datasets for experiments or whatever | 11:02 |
| === neutrino is now known as tar- | ||
| rww | or you could /part. that works too. | 11:02 |
| mcsmurf | I had to cd to another folder where I had read/write permissions (used "sudo" for update-grub) | 11:02 |
| pmjp | yeah no worries I got the netbook version no limit taken | 11:02 |
| mcsmurf | ok, so now Google knows about this, too ;) | 11:03 |
| pmjp | aarnet | 11:03 |
| gotwig | hi, a quick quest. . when i backed up my /var/cache/apt/archives , so I can install it on an ubuntu offline machine, what command i have to input to install the programms and libraries(deb files) correctly? (dpkg -i *.deb?) | 11:03 |
| Sterist | rww i accidently left the room, missed your response if any | 11:04 |
| pmjp | definitely not going back to windows | 11:04 |
| rww | Sterist: no, it's a scientific library for dealing with large datasets for experiments or whatever | 11:04 |
| gotwig | long time ago i used dpkg -i *deb and all the dependencies breaked me my apt system | 11:04 |
| pmjp | damn friends trying to lure me back | 11:04 |
| rww | In other words, if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it :\ | 11:04 |
| pmjp | well said rww | 11:05 |
| gotwig | has anyone a clue? | 11:05 |
| ppq | gotwig, tried 'sudo apt-get -f install'? | 11:05 |
| Sterist | lol | 11:05 |
| gotwig | ppq: no, so apt-get -f install installs debs? | 11:05 |
| Sterist | okay | 11:05 |
| bakarat | i'm probably doing something stupid, but cron does not seem to be running as it should. the service "cron" is running, but whatever i have defined in crontab does not get executed? "* * * * * date > /tmp/test" is defined for testing, but nothing happens. I did a "sudo service cron restart" and at that point all my defined scripts were executed, but after that they stop again | 11:05 |
| ppq | gotwig, if it's necessary to fix your problem, it may do so | 11:05 |
| pmjp | well I am going to go take care guys see ya later | 11:06 |
| gotwig | and whats with the dependencies from the programms, they have to installed first | 11:06 |
| ikonia | bakarat: * * * * * is not a good way to test | 11:06 |
| bakarat | ikonia, how's that? | 11:06 |
| llutz | bakarat: */2 * * * * ... | 11:06 |
| SlagX | ciao | 11:06 |
| Sterist | anyone know of a GUI for printers? for ink level / print progress etc? drivers work fine but all forms of status are stealth | 11:07 |
| headstrong | bonjour | 11:07 |
| ppq | gotwig, what program are we talking about? do you have .debs for it and its dependencies (all in the same folder)? | 11:07 |
| rom1v | for checking MD5SUMS.gpg signature, where is the public key ? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | bakarat: running every minute of every day - that would re-write your /tmp/test file every minute | 11:07 |
| bakarat | ikonia, yes, just for testing | 11:07 |
| rww | bakarat: standard cron diagnosis step: check you have a blank line at the end of your crontab | 11:07 |
| bakarat | ikonia, the shortest time possible to test :P cba to wait too long | 11:07 |
| gotwig | ppq: i talk about all the debs, my online ubuntu system has, i want on my offline system, so I want to put them all on the ubuntu cd | 11:07 |
| theos | hello all!! my laptop is suffering from sound problems. all of a sudden the sound stops working. right now also sound isnt working. anything we can do about it? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | bakarat: then why are you doing >/tmp/test rather than >>/tmp/test | 11:07 |
| bakarat | rww, yup, multiple, is that bad or good? :P | 11:07 |
| rww | good | 11:07 |
| bakarat | ikonia, cause i'm printing the timestamp, i just want to see it get updated | 11:08 |
| Sterist | gotwig standby i know the perfect app for you | 11:08 |
| ikonia | bakarat: and if you do >> you will see it | 11:08 |
| Sterist | just need to find it... i just saw it | 11:08 |
| ikonia | bakarat: also - use full path to the date command | 11:08 |
| mcsmurf | Sterist: some printer manufacturers have special tools for that, so it depends | 11:08 |
| gotwig | Sterist: keryx? | 11:08 |
| Sterist | gotwig i dont think so, 1sec | 11:08 |
| mcsmurf | like HP has hp-toolbox and such | 11:08 |
| bakarat | ikonia, ok | 11:08 |
| ppq | gotwig, well, then you installed them the wrong way on your online system. just copy your /var/cache/apt/archives folder over to the other machine als install things using 'sudo apt-get install foo'. | 11:08 |
| ppq | gotwig, this way, the .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives will be used for install | 11:09 |
| Sterist | gotwig APTonCD | 11:09 |
| ppq | gotwig, err, on your offline system, i meant in the first sentence | 11:09 |
| Sterist | burns packages to disks to be installed by disk | 11:09 |
| bakarat | btw where does cron output to? i read somewhere /var/log/messages ? | 11:09 |
| Sterist | so you can put on an offline pc | 11:09 |
| bakarat | i mean crontab updates and the like | 11:09 |
| gotwig | Sterist: wow, thanks :D i want look for it | 11:09 |
| gotwig | "will" :D | 11:09 |
| mats | hi folks, i have a question. does anyone know how can i find out PID of a "file operations" ? | 11:09 |
| headstrong | mats: lsof? | 11:10 |
| neekers | i run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade once a month, but i wanted to know if there is a recommended way to do it automatically? | 11:10 |
| Sterist | gotwig i havent used it so i dont know exactly how it works but based on the screenshot it looks fairly straight-forward | 11:11 |
| headstrong | mats: are you tring to tweak your ubuntu for less disk io? | 11:11 |
| TiK | neekers: crontab | 11:11 |
| theos | neekers, try the "update manager" | 11:11 |
| AbhiJit | !cron | neekers | 11:11 |
| ubottu | neekers: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 11:11 |
| gotwig | i knew it from linuxmint I think | 11:11 |
| neekers | TiK: how often would you do it? | 11:11 |
| headstrong | mats: my disk io is near to zero | 11:11 |
| TiK | i dunno | 11:11 |
| naxa | how can I encrypt my home dir on my ext4 fs if I previously didn't choose to? | 11:12 |
| TiK | i just do the GUI about once a week | 11:12 |
| neekers | i have a number of things running in cron now | 11:12 |
| Sterist | naxa i think you had to do that at install | 11:12 |
| theos | neekers, do you want to download updates automatically? update manager can do it for you afaik | 11:12 |
| Sterist | naxa ubuntu's install | 11:12 |
| neekers | theos: it's my ubuntu server, no gui, is that available? | 11:12 |
| gotwig | does aptoncd work for dvds to? | 11:13 |
| gotwig | "too" | 11:13 |
| headstrong | theos: why do you use synaptic? | 11:13 |
| headstrong | theos: s/do/don't | 11:13 |
| Sterist | gotwig only one way to find out :) | 11:13 |
| theos | headstrong, well update manager is specially for automatic updating | 11:13 |
| gotwig | but cd images can be burned on dvd or? | 11:13 |
| headstrong | theos: my synaptic shows me these info too | 11:14 |
| naxa | Sterist, is there no other way?! | 11:14 |
| Sterist | gotwig yes they can | 11:14 |
| gotwig | good :) | 11:14 |
| gotwig | whats with blueray :) ? | 11:14 |
| vivien_m | Which terminal emulator do you advice? urxvt, xterm, etc.? in combination with screen or tmux. | 11:14 |
| Sterist | naxa no idea, but it would make sense if it somehow wasnt possible after the install or otherwise timely | 11:14 |
| theos | hello all!! my laptop is suffering from sound problems. all of a sudden the sound stops working. right now also sound isnt working. anything we can do about it? | 11:15 |
| neekers | when i run update and upgrade, i ususally get asked if i want to install, is there a way to set it up so that the prompt is silenced? man update? | 11:15 |
| naxa | Sterist, i see. anyway, how does that would make sense? | 11:15 |
| Sterist | gotwig is there even a bluray app for ubuntu lol | 11:15 |
| neekers | man apt-get i should say | 11:15 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: is there any reason to use urxvt again? when you are on utf-8 locale | 11:15 |
| naxa | *would...do | 11:15 |
| gotwig | aptoncd gets grey :/ | 11:15 |
| Sterist | naxa because everything on that installation would have to be altered in order to be "encrypted" understand? | 11:16 |
| coz_ | neekers, that prompt is there for you to review what is going to be installed... you may want to keep that alive | 11:16 |
| mats | headstrong: no, i wanna make a script which will "tell" me when my copying is done.. | 11:16 |
| gotwig | now it gets white | 11:16 |
| gotwig | ok thanks for help | 11:16 |
| gotwig | i think so it will work | 11:16 |
| naxa | Sterist, i see but I guess that's what computers are for! :) | 11:16 |
| naxa | Sterist, thank you for the answers | 11:16 |
| vivien_m | headstrong: no idea! This is why I ask. Maybe urxvt brings useful features that xterm does not have? | 11:16 |
| Sterist | naxa no prob, just type "encrypt home" in the software center. see what you get | 11:17 |
| neekers | coz_: if i have to be there when upgrade runs, i could just as well put in my gmail calendar to run it weekly, would that be better than putting it into cron? | 11:17 |
| naxa | Sterist, http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html i think that's what I need | 11:17 |
| naxa | it was linked in the community docs | 11:18 |
| vivien_m | headstrong: I would be curious to get some experience feedback from people having played both with xterm and urxvt. | 11:18 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: in fact, i use gnome-terminal again on ubuntu | 11:18 |
| Sterist | aah | 11:18 |
| neekers | coz_: to run it manually weekly that is | 11:18 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: gnome-terminal + my own elite fonts = the best for irc | 11:18 |
| vivien_m | headstrong: Ok! I do not use KDE or Gnome. So this is urxvt + tmux here :) | 11:19 |
| gotwig | aptoncd does do an extra cd or? | 11:19 |
| m4rtin | naxa: I haven't read the whole of the thread, but just as a warning: encrypted home dirs have a filename character limit of 144 as opposed to 255, which was a blocker for me | 11:19 |
| coz_ | neekers, well... my suggestion ,even though it is possible to run unattended... i forget the procedure... I would still be present when the dist-upgrade is running or even the upgrade... personally i want to know ecactly what is being updated/upgrade/dist-upgraded before it actually installs | 11:19 |
| m4rtin | (by thread, I mean conversation) | 11:19 |
| === JOEL is now known as Guest59772 | ||
| coz_ | neekers, it is up to you however | 11:19 |
| gotwig | i want that the packages are on the ubuntu cd | 11:19 |
| === Guest59772 is now known as t0ze | ||
| gotwig | :( | 11:19 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: you are right if you are a bsd fan | 11:19 |
| Sterist | gotwig ? | 11:20 |
| neekers | ok, thanks | 11:20 |
| vivien_m | headstrong: no BSD fan! Why that reference? | 11:20 |
| gotwig | i want burn one ubuntu cd, and the packages should be on the ubuntu cd too (ubuntu dvd) | 11:20 |
| naxa | m4rtin, uh really? wow I didn't know. thank you! | 11:20 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: bsd can't run gnome or kde in the past | 11:20 |
| Sterist | gotwig so what's the problem lol | 11:20 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: so i can know where you come from | 11:21 |
| gotwig | it looks like aptoncd does one cd , only for the packages , withhout ubuntu | 11:21 |
| neekers | should i be running dist-upgrade instead of upgrade? | 11:21 |
| vivien_m | headstrong: I use awesome, a tiling window manager. Before that, I used Openbox, before Fluxbox and before KDE. ;-) | 11:21 |
| Sterist | gotwig are you trying to make a custom ubuntu installation or just some apps? | 11:21 |
| naxa | m4rtin, considering that I don't understand how is it possible in 2010 that filename length couldn't be extended if needed to, let's say, 500-3k characters, this make me to think over again. | 11:21 |
| headstrong | vivien_m: they are good choices on bsd | 11:21 |
| gotwig | some apps | 11:21 |
| Sterist | then you have the right app to do that :) | 11:22 |
| t0ze | Hello! Is there someone that can help me with this; how can know the folder path of one shared folder in other pc. | 11:22 |
| headstrong | t0ze: it's in your menu | 11:22 |
| gotwig | :/ | 11:23 |
| Almindor | you know, IMO ubuntu should add a "rolling release but just for certain end-apps" repository which would offer latest stable releases of just end applications (games, browsers etc.) which can still be compiled with current libs in the stable repository | 11:23 |
| t0ze | i have a desktop with a HD with 3 partitions. I can mount that partitions in here (notebook) but i want to automaticlly mount that partitions. | 11:23 |
| headstrong | t0ze: maybe you have to edit the menu and enable this item | 11:23 |
| Sterist | gotwig i just downloaded APTonCD. just install whatever you want to burn, then when you click "create" it will appear on the list | 11:23 |
| m4rtin | naxa: it might not be a problem on your setup (there's a good reason for filename length being limited to prevent overhead), but I had some longer filenames that weren't happy inside the crypto mountpoint | 11:23 |
| gotwig | i am not new to linux but thats complex :/ the definitions are not so good | 11:23 |
| Weezer | erUSUL u there? | 11:23 |
| gotwig | so one aptoncd is one ubuntu install cd? | 11:24 |
| headstrong | gotwig: it's for offline installation, iirc | 11:24 |
| Sterist | gotwig it's an app install cd for ubuntu | 11:24 |
| gotwig | so i have to burn one seperate ubuntu install cd? | 11:25 |
| Sterist | gotwig now we're going back a few questions :P are you trying to install ubuntu or just apps? | 11:25 |
| headstrong | gotwig: this is ironic. my need is always less than a default cd | 11:25 |
| naxa | m4rtin, I can always use a txt file to map the long filenames to the short ones, considering that there are usually very few of them. They should implement it in the fs, i think. You could have, for example, 255 pieces of longer-than-255-character filenames. that's not an overhead, and would help in many problems like this. | 11:25 |
| gotwig | install ubuntu with aps | 11:26 |
| gotwig | "apps" | 11:26 |
| Sterist | gotwig okay then, 1sec | 11:26 |
| gotwig | but i have many dvds | 11:26 |
| gotwig | so f*** off ^^ | 11:26 |
| headstrong | lol | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | Weezer yes | 11:26 |
| gotwig | i do not have much time | 11:26 |
| Sterist | gotwig what you need then is Ubuntu Customization Kit | 11:27 |
| Sterist | search that in software center | 11:27 |
| gotwig | jeah i used it | 11:27 |
| gotwig | and it doesnt work | 11:27 |
| gotwig | already done a bug report for that | 11:27 |
| Sterist | hrmms | 11:27 |
| gotwig | i now make a folder called archives on the ubuntu cd and burn it | 11:27 |
| m4rtin | naxa: you could do this, but, in the file allocation table, it is far more efficient to have fixed size blocks for allocation as you can then seek to the correct location without having to read through the list. | 11:28 |
| gotwig | then i install with sudo apt-get -f install | 11:28 |
| t0ze | i have made a print screen so i can explain better here it is http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/417/screenshottmy.png how do i know that mount point ? | 11:28 |
| Sterist | gotwig then just do a standard install and then use a APTonCD .... cd | 11:28 |
| Weezer | erUSUL where are u? | 11:28 |
| erUSUL | Weezer: at home in a chair ;P | 11:28 |
| headstrong | the bomber is on the way... | 11:29 |
| naxa | m4rtin, that's while it would be an extension. the filetable would work as usual, and in the end, you would have to search your way through a small number of filenames what are longer. opposed to tens of thousands of files with a short name, this time maybe won't make the whole thing take significantly longer. | 11:29 |
| valadares | how i connect my computer on a wireless internet from ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| naxa | i mean: opposed to many short names, there would be a very few of the long names. | 11:30 |

| d3v0 | any ideas? | 11:46 |

| Midler | ikonia: ofcourse iam using sudo when i mount/umount | 11:47 |
| Midler | for the owner, it mounts as it should | 11:47 |

| javier__ | is there an emulation of driver robot for linux? | 11:54 |
| Midler | lets take the ntfs one first. If i want it to be mounted automaticly at boot. Having admin rwx and group share ro, i should mount it like: group=share,uid=admin,auto,umask=037 | 11:55 |
| Takis | "/j #ubuntu-gr" | 11:55 |
| ppq | Takis, without "" ;) | 11:55 |
| erUSUL | Midler: group=share? uid takes a numeric value afaik | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Weezer: samba and windows networking gets flakier every year.. try entering the smb://ip#/share type address or smb://servername/share by hand and see iof they are seen | 11:55 |
| Midler | (ive already set the right permissions on the filessystems using chmod -R 740, even if thats not how it works with ntfs) | 11:55 |
| Midler | erUSUL: what doyou mean? | 11:56 |
| Midler | uid only? | 11:56 |
| oracle | my newly installed 10.04 froze as i was uninstalling a bunch of stuff using synaptic | 11:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Midler: uid and gid are #'s not names.. | 11:56 |
| oracle | the lts version has worked flawlessly in the past | 11:56 |
| oracle | something wrong? i can see a mouse pointer but nothing else | 11:56 |
| Midler | gid=13337 and uid= aha | 11:56 |
| oracle | and moving this pointer works too | 11:56 |
| erUSUL | Midler: first for ntfs-3g group=share is not a valid option and second uid=admin is not valid either you have to put the numeric uid | 11:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Midler: check the ntfs-3g homepage/Faq for all the examples of options for the fstab entries for it also. | 11:57 |
| oracle | should i force a REBOOT | 11:57 |
| ppq | oracle, what packages did you remove | 11:57 |
| Dr_Willis | oracle: ssh in and restart the gdm service perhaps. | 11:57 |
| oracle | ppq, everything i didnt like | 11:57 |
| ubuntu | How do I get permission to write do partitions from LiveCD? | 11:57 |
| oracle | should i kill the gdm | 11:57 |
| Midler | Dr_Willis: so i changed it | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: you can access them as root once they are mounted and have full permissions | 11:58 |
| oracle | dr_willis, sshd doesnt come configured in the fresh installs | 11:58 |
| theos | headstrong, i had internet trouble. now its stable i think. you asked me about my mobo. i have a quanta mobo. | 11:58 |

| Dr_Willis | oracle: you proberly would of removed it anyway if it did... | 11:58 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: They are mounted but I can only read from them, not write? :S | 11:58 |

| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: Havent been such problem with earlier LiveCD. | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: try accessing them as the root user. check output of the 'mount' command also. | 11:58 |
| oracle | dont know what to do! | 11:58 |
| erUSUL | javier__: what is "driver robot" ? | 11:59 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: Isnt I root user then? | 11:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: no you are not 'root' user when logged into the livd cd desktop. | 11:59 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: What I want is that Ktorrent can write data to them ... | 11:59 |
| javier__ | is an application which allows the system detect which drivers it needs | 11:59 |
| Midler | For my ntfs, the options are now: auto,umask=037,utf8,gid=1337,uid=1000 | 11:59 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: Thats stupid to not being root when using LiveCD. I only use LiveCD just because having full access. | 11:59 |
| theos | headstrong, now i restarted my laptop and the sound returned. but not for long.. | 11:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: you need to mount them so that the user can write to them, what filesystem are these anyway? Ntfs? ext2/3/4? | 11:59 |
| erUSUL | javier__: System>Admin...>hardware drivers | 11:59 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: ext4 | 12:00 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: They are mounted | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: you are failing to understand the basics I think.. for ext4 the Filesystem has its own permissions and ownership on them. thats a security feature | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: you need to use the proper chown command to make them owned by the user thats the default on the live cd. | 12:00 |
| javier__ | but it is only for unblocking privative drivers, no for searching them | 12:00 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis: Alright, well how do I get access on ubuntu user from LiveCD then? | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: if it was NTFS you would have to go about it a differnt way. | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !chown | 12:01 |

| Midler | my test user in gruop share still cant see the hd | 12:01 |

| ppq | barberan, easiest way: get a ubuntu "desktop-cd" and try ubuntu without installing | 12:05 |
| Midler | for the ntfs* | 12:05 |
| erUSUL | Midler: sorry "set" 027 | 12:05 |
| Oxymoron | Dr_Willis: I NEED to ... ************************************* computer world if not possible. | 12:05 |
| erUSUL | Midler: 137 makes no sense you need x for dirs | 12:05 |
| Midler | 037 was my umask | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Midler: or you can set fmask and dmask separatly | 12:06 |
| barberan | ppq, so with the help of "desktop-cd" I'll be able to test even wi-fi, and so on? I mean... does simulate full system? and is it opssible that "It works" on a cd version but fails during the usage from the fully-installed system.. | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Midler: with 037 still holds you need +x to dirs | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Midler: with 037 still holds you need +x for dirs | 12:06 |
| Midler | erUSUL: ok | 12:06 |
| ppq | barberan, no, it does not simulate a full system. it actually is a full system :) | 12:07 |

| erUSUL | !addingfs | Midler | 12:10 |
| ubottu | Midler: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Oxymoron: linux can access ntfs just fine.. | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Oxymoron: the ext2/3 support ive seen in windows.. has had issues in the past.. i dont trust them | 12:10 |
| erUSUL | c3l: from ss manpage « ss -o state established '( dport = :ssh or sport = :ssh )' » | 12:10 |
| erUSUL | c3l: yes; i do not understand it either ;P | 12:11 |
| Midler | erUSUL: Hmm, but allowing all to mount, and then setting permissions should work? | 12:11 |
| Oxymoron | jrib: It make sense when I need Winblows and Linux on one single computer ... I need to access exts from Windows and NTFS from Linux ... | 12:11 |
| c3l | erUSUL: cool, it was quite spammy, but it seems to show what I want. however, it doesnt show what process is responsible for which connection, is that possible to see? | 12:11 |
| erUSUL | Midler: yes | 12:11 |
| erUSUL | c3l: try adding -p | 12:11 |
| Oxymoron | Dr_Willis: Yeah I know, well I just need read support and not write support on ext* in Winblows | 12:12 |
| Midler | so having options auto,user should allow everyone to mount, but only the ones with permissions will have read/write access to it? | 12:12 |
| jrib | Oxymoron: why? Just have one partition that you share between OSes. Use the ntfs one for example | 12:12 |
| erUSUL | Midler: in ext* filesystem? | 12:12 |
| Midler | ext4 | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Oxymoron: time to hit google and the various download sites then.. there Might be some tools that can do it.. i havent checked in the last 5+mo | 12:12 |
| c3l | erUSUL: hm, didnt really work, but thanks anyways, now I know what manpages to read at least :> | 12:13 |
| Oxymoron | jrib: Well I need several and I always had trouble with NTFS in Linux ... and Ext trouble in Windows ... thats uhm more paradoxal then my nick xD | 12:13 |
| jrib | Oxymoron: several why? | 12:13 |
| t0ze | i have made a print screen so i can explain better here it is http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/417/screenshottmy.png how do i know that mount point ? | 12:13 |

| Oxymoron | jrib: For instance ONE partition for downloads, one for music collection, one for documents and so on. | 12:14 |
| jrib | Oxymoron: ok, well use several ntfs partitions then? For sharing data, ntfs is fine | 12:14 |
| jrib | Oxymoron: although honestly, having so many partitions is a pain | 12:14 |
| Oxymoron | jrib: So if one partition fucks up I dont loose everything. | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Oxymoron: if one hard drive dies.. you can lose all partitions.. :) | 12:14 |

| jrib | www2: a2enmod rewrite? | 12:15 |
| mineur | consider a software raid for data storage, and use lvm on top of that to create your partitions | 12:15 |
| Midler | erUSUL: yes, i understood that, and i have set the right permissions to. What iam wondering is, if user,auto should be enought for owner/group to mount it or not? | 12:15 |
| t0ze | if i have a computer with ip 192.168.1.66 how do i access to that pc, on ubuntu ? | 12:16 |
| www2 | all ready done | 12:16 |
| Oxymoron | Dr_Willis: Yes, but usually I dont store all partitions on one drive ... And I do backups to my external drive as well. | 12:16 |
| Midler | or if its enought with auto to mount it at boot | 12:16 |
| erUSUL | Midler: auto means mount by root at boot time. user means that a normal user canmount it. are pretty mach mutually exclusive | 12:16 |
| mineur | t0ze: what do you mean with access it? | 12:16 |
| jrib | t0ze: how is your screenshot related to your access question? | 12:16 |
| www2 | @jrib all ready done | 12:16 |
| jrib | www2: that's it. reload/restart apache | 12:17 |
| Midler | erUSUL: so if its mounted by root, the permissions is still there when mounted (permissions set by chmod)? | 12:17 |
| t0ze | that screen shot is the folder i want to access, that is a partition in my desktop | 12:17 |
| erUSUL | Midler: correct | 12:17 |

| JohnJack | When I load up ubuntu, i get up to the logo screen and then it blacks out. if i press a key then it shows mount failures in /sys, /dev and /proc in /root/sys root/dev and root/proc | 13:08 |
| icarus-c | xok, and yes you should kill the patch process if still running | 13:08 |
| JohnJack | so i can only get into the shell. | 13:08 |
| icarus-c | ganeshran, yes | 13:08 |
| xok | icarus-c: yeah, I've guessed that.. :-D | 13:08 |

| icarus-c | xok, in the diff | 13:13 |
| xok | icarus-c: I've removed that, but still the same... | 13:13 |
| icarus-c | xok, don't remove those numbers they are the whole point of the diff, they are used to locate where should be changed | 13:13 |
| gaveen | ganeshran, yes you can re-size the Windows partition and allocate some for the Ubuntu one | 13:14 |
| ganeshran | cool thanks gaveen :D | 13:14 |
| xok | icarus-c: prints out this: patch: **** `<' expected at line 4 of patch | 13:14 |
| ganeshran | that will solve my problem. dont like to mount my ntfs partitions everytime | 13:14 |
| icarus-c | xok, i don't think i know how to fix it then. since i don't have Ubiquity and not sure about the diff (like does it even work/valid) | 13:14 |
| gaveen | ganeshran, Just be careful when shrinking to leave enough space for existing data | 13:15 |
| ganeshran | YAY!! Apache works like a charm | 13:16 |
| icarus-c | xok, but what i know is, if you want to apply a diff, you would do "patch original.file the.diff" | 13:16 |
| gopodge | xok : Can you pastebin the entire install.py file? | 13:16 |

| flecharota | AbhiJit, thanks | 13:41 |
| d3v0 | could someone explain to me why pptpd will not start ? | 13:42 |
| bazhang | xok, it's the alternate CD debian-installer (ncurses-based install only) | 13:42 |
| bazhang | !alternate | xok | 13:42 |
| ubottu | xok: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 13:42 |
| xok | bazhang: nope, I haven't tried that... | 13:42 |

| willinja | lol i tought proftpd my mistake d3v0 | 13:43 |

| gopodge | bazhang: So xok could use the alternate CD to avoid Ubiquity? | 13:43 |
| bazhang | gopodge, yes | 13:43 |
| d3v0 | but my phone will only work pptp , tl2p and ipsec | 13:43 |
| gopodge | xok: Looks like that is your answer. | 13:43 |
| xok | any chance to install from live cd with that "alernate installer"?... | 13:43 |
| d3v0 | openvnc only has ssl | 13:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | boba: that doesn't look good - the ubuntu ffmpeg has severe limitations at compile time - you might need to rebuild it | 13:43 |
| bazhang | xok, no its a different iso | 13:43 |

| mealstrom | how to detect program which eats hot-keys like F2? | 13:45 |
| bazhang | xok, it is | 13:45 |
| mealstrom | *like alt+f2 | 13:45 |
| xok | I think I could easily lauch it from command line... | 13:45 |
| gopodge | xok : it is an installer that doesn't use a GUI to install.. this will overcome your problem with ubiquity.. | 13:45 |
| icarus-c | mealstrom, that is handled by the window manager | 13:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | boba: I've never seen that error and don't know what it means - pointless repeating it.. | 13:46 |
| boba | well_laid_lawn: ok, thanks anyway | 13:46 |
| mealstrom | icarus-c: yeap. but some program or daemon also eats alt+f2 and do the same like - ctrl + alt + f2 -> so ive got | 13:47 |
| mealstrom | console screen and run-command at X-server in gnome :( | 13:47 |
| xok | I will suggest other users not to use ubuntu... | 13:47 |

| icarus-c | mealstrom, ctrl-alt-f[1-12] is handled by kernel or X i would imagine | 13:49 |
| mealstrom | or where config file is stored | 13:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | boba: grab it from ffmpegs site and build it with the options you need | 13:49 |

| icarus-c | mealstrom, anyway, if you want to setup keyboard shortcut and define action/command to run when pressed, you consult the Window Manager that you are using | 13:49 |
| icarus-c | mealstrom, like Metacity by GNOME default | 13:50 |
| mealstrom | icarus-c: and ive got alt+F[1-12] do same as ctrl+alt+F[1-12] . | 13:50 |

| jrib | !lamp > maverick | 14:26 |
| ubottu | maverick, please see my private message | 14:26 |
| ehcah | ppq: Give yourself a pat on the back! The remote works to do everything now including turning the box on and off! THANK YOU! :) | 14:26 |
| dns53 | theos you could probably use gst-launch and plug together a tone generator and pipe it to your speakers, but i could not tell you the command of the top of my head | 14:26 |
| VCoolio | azi`: no, it should be a file in ~/.mozilla/firefox/something.default/ | 14:26 |
| ppq | ehcah, wow, nice, congratulations :) *pat* | 14:27 |
| theos | dns53, so you mean there is no such command or is it? | 14:27 |
| Empero- | AbhiJit, it seems to freeze at random. even when there is active usage of the mouse | 14:27 |
| ehcah | Next problem. BT Logitech keyboard/mouse... One at at time... :) | 14:27 |
| ubu | fuck cant contact any | 14:27 |
| VCoolio | azi`: file is called bookmarks.html, copy it over if you still have it | 14:27 |
| Empero- | this makes it impossible to do any work | 14:27 |
| === arie_ is now known as chmistry | ||
| theos | dns53, its a built in subwoofer in my laptop actually | 14:28 |
| azi` | VCoolio: thanks. do you see any other reason why my bookmarks aren't displayed? | 14:28 |
| VCoolio | azi`: only if you have a different version of firefox now that uses ~/.mozilla/firefox-3.7/ for example instead of just firefox | 14:29 |

| ubu | hi hi | 14:31 |
| grigoriades | ok guys i found irc channels list but how can i add them on my network list? | 14:31 |
| RedNifre | Hi. | 14:31 |
| Emass | hello! | 14:31 |
| vinnyparker | Hi, how do I chante the user's image from login screen? | 14:32 |
| ubu | hhello guy | 14:32 |
| angelete2 | anyone knows any channel for ]project-open[ ? | 14:32 |
| RedNifre | Is it possible to set my Desktop to show my home directory? | 14:32 |
| VCoolio | FusionX: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 14:32 |
| biesbjerg | Hi guys, I'm trying to setup a firewall on my ubuntu server 10.04 (Using UFW), but I can't seem to get it to block access to SAMBA. Anyone up for giving me a helping hand? | 14:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | vinnyparker, System / Preferences / About Me - click the icon in top left | 14:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | vinnyparker, oh - from login screen, doubt it can be done | 14:33 |
| biesbjerg | it's weird, because DENY should be default action (My apache install isn't accessable unless I add a rule for it, but for some reason SAMBA always is?) | 14:33 |
| ppq | RedNifre, yes, it is possible, in gnome it's a gconf setting iirc | 14:33 |
| Emass | is there any way to kill fullscreen applications with a perticular keybind? | 14:33 |
| xok | hmmm... | 14:34 |
| me2 | anybody know how to network vista business with ubuntu 10.04? | 14:34 |
| ppq | RedNifre, look for nautilus | 14:34 |
| VCoolio | ppq: in gconf-editor, check apps > nautilus | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 14:34 |
| xok | I needed to just create file named "filesystem.size"... | 14:34 |
| MegaHack | Есть кто русский?) | 14:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | xok, "touch filename.size" | 14:34 |
| juk | !ru | MegaHack | 14:35 |
| ppq | RedNifre, VCoolio said it | 14:35 |
| ubottu | MegaHack: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 14:35 |
| xok | ZykoticK9: wow, I can't believe, you are so clever.. :-D | 14:35 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg sudo ufw deny samba | 14:35 |
| juk | !lol | xok | 14:35 |
| ubottu | xok: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 14:35 |
| VCoolio | Emass: create a keybinding for xkill, then use the keybinding and click, might work; else ctrl+alt+f1, kill from console, ctrl+alt+f7 to get back | 14:35 |
| === zyz is now known as Guest28733 | ||
| xok | juk: please point me where I have used LOL or OMG?:... | 14:36 |
| biesbjerg | dns53: I want to allow samba, but only to local network - I guess I figured I should get default DENY ALL to work first? | 14:36 |
| biesbjerg | dns53: Wow, even with ufw deny Samba, it's accessable.. | 14:36 |
| robisinho | Dr_Willis, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "foo" && sudo dhclient wlan0 -- that's how :) | 14:36 |
| biesbjerg | dns53: (I did ufw enable to refresh rules) | 14:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | VCoolio, i would guess that any fullscreen application will probably seat keyboard's focus, making any keybinding very difficult (or impossible). Emass | 14:37 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg how do you have you have your network setup? your internet goes directly to your server ? | 14:37 |
| progre55 | hi guys. Is it okay to do-release-upgrade a server over ssh? from karmic to lucid | 14:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | VCoolio, s/seat/steal | 14:37 |
| biesbjerg | dns53: I connect to the server via VPN | 14:37 |
| pksadiq | I have a doubt about website, which is the channel for the question to be asked? | 14:37 |
| knittl | hi. font is broken for menu entries in help application here | 14:37 |
| biesbjerg | dns53: But the big question right now is why ufw deny Samba didn't work :s | 14:37 |
| knittl | ideas? | 14:38 |
| juk | !details | pksadiq | 14:38 |
| ubottu | pksadiq: 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 ..." | 14:38 |

| ubottu | xok: #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! | 14:39 |
| pksadiq | i mean which is the channel to ask doubts about website related doubts, can I ask it here? | 14:39 |
| knittl | looks like it's missing utf8 chars | 14:39 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg so the server is remote to you and you do not want samba to be used on the internet side but through your vpn? | 14:40 |
| juk | !topic | pksadiq | 14:40 |
| ubottu | pksadiq: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 14:40 |
| biesbjerg | dns53: Exactly, spot on :-) | 14:40 |
| Emass | ZykoticK9, oh that's too bad. I'm trying to install team fortress 2 through wine and each time i try, the screen freezes and i need to shut down the comp | 14:41 |
| Emass | ah well | 14:41 |
| pksadiq | !Help | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:42 |
| Emass | thanks for the help then :) | 14:42 |
| VCoolio | Emass: shut down/reboot shouldn't be necessary, try virtual console like I said | 14:42 |
| me__ | going wrong | 14:42 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg so you should be able to do it, i'm not sure if you can use ufw to set up that sort of rule | 14:44 |
| Pksadiq_ | Too bad, my network wont allow me to even ask a question . Very very slow connection :( | 14:46 |
| robisinho | how can I reinstall the whole xorg subsystem? is there anything like sudo apt-get install --autoreinstall ? or something to reinstall all the dependant packages ? | 14:46 |
| juk | robisinho: apt-get remove/install | 14:47 |
| IdleOne | robinbowes: sudo apt-get -f install will try to fix any broken packages | 14:47 |
| robisinho | juk, if I do it seperately, Ill have to know what to reinstall, because it will remove all the dependant packages | 14:47 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html ufw allow samba from your_vpn_address ? | 14:47 |
| robinbowes | IdleOne: wrong nick! | 14:48 |
| robisinho | IdleOne, its not broken per se, its that a config file somewhere (noone can seem to find where) is broken and my keyboard input doesnt work. so I need to wipe the configs mostly | 14:48 |
| IdleOne | robinbowes: indeed, sorry :) | 14:48 |
| ehcah | ppc: are you still there? | 14:48 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg is there a special reason why you are using samba instead of something like nfs? | 14:49 |
| ehcah | typo: ppq. | 14:49 |
| ehcah | sorry | 14:49 |
| uLinux | hi. What is /dev/sg0? | 14:49 |

I am trying to use my wlan0 as a gateway (internet directly in eth0) - I saw this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-335465.html and there is one package missing - ipmasq. Is it possible to find a solution that is as "easy" as this one? | 14:52 |
| IdleOne | taomaster: the package manager will offer to upgrade when 10.10 is released. more info/support in #ubuntu+1 | 14:52 |

| aeon-ltd | theos: is it 'bass'-ey? | 15:04 |
| theos | juk, erm my hp laptop has a subwoofer under it . | 15:05 |
| robisinho | does aptitude provide a rollback functionality? | 15:05 |
| idle_task | How do you uninstall older kernels at the command line, given that I also use the kernel ppa (needed for btrfs support)? | 15:05 |
| dns53 | biesbjerg my guess is you need to allow your local address range on the server ufw allow samba from 192.168.0.0/16 or ufw allow samba from 10.0.0.0/16 | 15:05 |
| robisinho | my system was working before installing a package. now, not even removing that package fixes the problem | 15:05 |
| aeon-ltd | robisinho: downgrading? not sure but apt definately can | 15:05 |
| theos | aeon-ltd, its a subwoofer. yeah kinda bassy thing | 15:05 |

| BluesKaj | theos,, subwoofer has vibrations ...is the bottom vibrating ? | 15:06 |
| idle_task | It is not at all what I was talking about | 15:06 |
| Poul|Raider | Anyone with same setup eth0 = lan eth1 = wan, NAT enable and portforwarding examples and have a firewall script using iptables that they know works | 15:06 |
| AbhiJit | idle_task, why dont you uninstall from synaptic? | 15:06 |
| theos | BluesKaj, no its not vibrating | 15:06 |
| aeon-ltd | theos: it may sound stupid but pick it up ~(while playing something) and listen | 15:07 |
| idle_task | AbhiJit: I could, of course, but I happen to like the command line :p | 15:07 |
| theos | i want to test it by only playing sound through the subwoofer and not speakers | 15:07 |

| AKPP | youtube sound problem, i know it's an easy fix but i can't find it online, maybe i'm blind. halp pls :) | 15:08 |
| theos | BluesKaj, any command which only enables subwoofer and disables other speakers? | 15:08 |
| DaveCave | looking for anyone who has sucessfully installed ubuntu on a new Xbox 360 | 15:08 |
| juk | AKPP: you sure it's only youtube | 15:08 |
| aeon-ltd | theos: ok i'm not sure if ALSA even has this support, but open up a terminal run alsamixer, then mute (using up and down arrow keys or the m key) all outputs but the subwoofer | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | theos, dunno | 15:09 |
| jascotty2 | for anyone who knows about 10.10: I just upgraded to the beta release, and now I get something like '/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 error, returns 32512', and the login screen won't show.. | 15:09 |

| juk | 10.10 | jascotty2 | 15:09 |
| AKPP | juk, well it's everything that requires a plugin online, all videos etc. so no, not just youtube, i'm just generalizing. but everything outside of firefox plays sounds when it's supposed to | 15:09 |

| Jinux | theos, It won't be labelled "subwoofer" It'll just be "rear center output" or something like that | 15:11 |

| uLinux | Disk Utility shows a message: "WARNING: The partition is misaligned by 1024 bytes. This may result in very poor performance. Repartitioning is suggested." I know this is a 1MB of unallocated space created when I installed Ubuntu... does this really affects performance? | 15:12 |
| juk | !aptitude | AKPP | 15:13 |
| ubottu | AKPP: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 15:13 |

| obunto | onBoard onscreen keyboard keeps on getting stuck on keys and typing out 5-10 (roughly) more than its supposed to. What can I do to stop this or fix this? | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | theos, a so called subwoofer on a laptop is a misnomer anyway , the LFs are usually restrictebd by the size and design of the sub , so a nice full low freq can be heard but not real low stuuf alike a real sub | 15:18 |
| juk | AKPP: you said it's ok, outside of ff | 15:18 |
| deena | whenever i login into my desktop all external disks are getting mounted and opened.. | 15:18 |

| xbonesx | ZykoticK9: yes i have the net but i dont install using a cd i install using a bootable usb for ubuntu and i need to be able to install packages from it on a computer without the net | 16:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | elit3m1ke, oh man, i haven't done the display stuff for a while - i think it uses :1 for display numbers somehow. sorry. xmessage i haven't played with. | 16:13 |

| elit3m1ke | ZykoticK9 okies thanks anyway | 16:13 |
| headstrong | Stealth__: is it a log file something and it's still used by an app or daemon? | 16:13 |
| headstrong | Stealth__: in other word, it's opened and locked | 16:14 |
| Stealth__ | headstrong, I am not sure. It was a textfile I downloaded of the internet, and basically I tried to delete it using nautluis in sudo which is supposidly a bad idea | 16:14 |
| Stealth__ | The trash file is hidden somewhere but I dont know where | 16:14 |
| zamba | how do i purge all removed packages>? | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | Stealth__, alt+f2 , type trash | 16:15 |
| xbonesx | is archive mounter the same as mounting it as if it was a cd? | 16:15 |
| Stealth__ | ok | 16:15 |
| headstrong | Stealth__: you can use a console to do that | 16:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | xbonesx, i'd suggest following one of juk's suggestion :) best of luck man. | 16:15 |
| Stealth__ | headstrong, i tried searching for files over 3gig, a film on my windows 7 partition came up but that was all | 16:15 |
| IdleOne | !trash | Stealth__ | 16:15 |
| ubottu | Stealth__: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 16:15 |
| Stealth__ | Error stating file '/home/stealth/trash': No such file or direct | 16:16 |
| headstrong | lol | 16:16 |
| IdleOne | Stealth__: cd ~/.local/share/Trash | 16:16 |
| Stealth__ | idleOne i looked there and the file is not there that I deleted | 16:16 |
| headstrong | Stealth__: maybe you need a offline fsck now | 16:17 |
| Stealth__ | I deleted it from sudo nautilus not the normal file browser if thats any help? | 16:17 |
| Stealth__ | headstrong whats that? | 16:17 |
| IdleOne | I think that deleted the file for good | 16:17 |
| headstrong | Stealth__: boot off a livecd then fsck your partition | 16:17 |
| Stealth__ | What does that do headstrong? | 16:17 |

| Stealth__ | what does that do zykoticK9? | 16:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | du = disk usage, shows how much space | 16:18 |

| DarkSector | Stealth__, nevermind | 16:45 |
| undecim | ehcah: I don't think either one is necessarily better. For HTPC I would use suspend tho. It will still use some electricity, but it will come back a lot faster | 16:45 |
| Wage | ppq: it's just the startup script for firefox, the launcher works after firefox has already been ran once, any idea why? | 16:45 |
| ppq | ehcah, a htpc should be available quickly so i'd use suspend-to-ram. but only if you use this htpc often. to save energy when you use it not so often, use suspend to disk | 16:46 |
| undecim | ehcah: If you are leaving on vaction or something though, hibernate would be better for your utility bill. | 16:46 |
| ehcah | For some reason, I figured use of RAM would be safer.... | 16:46 |

| ppq | Wage, no, sry. but why do you need a script to run firefox? | 16:47 |

| Bodsda | Hi - I seem to have accidentally uninstalled a lot of packages... My system is in a semi-bootable state, I have to manually startx and dont seem to have half of my gnome desktop installed. When I reinstall apps like firefox, or anything else that I used to have, it goes straight to the 'selecting previously deselected package' section without downloading. This suggests to me that everything is on the system, just not installed. Has anyone got any ideas ho | 16:56 |
| ehcah | yes. | 16:56 |
| ehcah | echo USB2 | sudo tee > /proc/acpi/wakeup | 16:56 |
| linux_hacks | robisinho: thanks | 16:57 |
| linux_hacks | it works | 16:57 |
| headstrong | ehcah: but they don't work cause of your asus bios's acpi '2.0'? | 16:57 |
| ehcah | Ok. I would have thought the OS would have saved my config changes? Is that file dynamic, and based on BIOS? | 16:57 |

| magnuso | Hi! I could use some assistance! :-) I have a Ubuntu Server 10.04 installation and today when i turned the computer on it did not boot... Is there some sort of recovery disc? Or repair console available? | 17:01 |

| Bodsda | magnuso: depends what you mean by 'did not boot' - could you elaborate a bit? | 17:02 |

| Bodsda | magnuso: does it get as far as GRUB? | 17:04 |
| egunay | After enabling ip_forward for ettercap and after a restart my wireless card couldn't connect to my network. I disabled it right away but still nothing. what possible causes there might be? | 17:04 |

| magnuso | I´ll try! 5 secs | 17:05 |
| Bodsda | magnuso: check your bios disk boot order, try switching it around. it sounds like it is trying to boot a device with no boot loader maybe | 17:05 |

| rsr | I have a macbook pro. I am not a programmer but would like to help the development of ubuntu on this hardware. How can I get involved? | 17:10 |
| undecim | magnuso: Well, the right shift trick should have brought up a menu. If we can't get to that menu, we have no control over the boot process, so we need a linux live CD of some sort | 17:11 |

| mobasher | Monona=}} when i purged the package it didn't remove the configurations ? is that normal ? | 17:30 |
| magnuso | undecim: yes.... FSB and memory voltage... Changing them back was the first i tried with no luck | 17:30 |
| rob_p | egunay1: Anyway, I didn't want you to go spining your wheels on the wrong path. Good luck though. | 17:30 |
| joesin | i am trying to learn more about ssh, vpn and such, and cannot get x11 forwarded... | 17:31 |
| undecim | magnuso: Perhaps reset your entire BIOS back to factory? | 17:31 |
| joesin | if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. | 17:31 |

| egunay1 | rob_p: indeed, at least now i can stop trying to disable ip_forward | 17:31 |

| mneimne | does the live cd come with a http and mysql server in 10.04?? | 17:32 |
| cf0531 | heya | 17:33 |
| joesin | cheap workaround is placing usb in the host, sharing it out, and grabbing the data from there | 17:33 |
| joesin | why do you need usb directly connected to vp? | 17:33 |
| rob_p | egunay1: You can see the status of that parameter by doing, "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" in a terminal. If it returns, "0", it's disabled. If it returns, "1", it's enabled. | 17:33 |

| joesin | theres gotta be another trick... | 17:34 |
| st__ | mneimne, of course not | 17:34 |
| undecim | mneimne: You can install http server on ubuntu desktop | 17:34 |
| joesin | ooh... | 17:34 |
| maedox | mneimne: no, but you can start a very simple one with python. No MySQL included. | 17:34 |
| bcurren | does ubuntu log when the server ip address is updated? if so, what log would it be in? | 17:34 |
| joesin | i might be really clever... | 17:34 |
| joesin | not sure yet... | 17:34 |
| magnuso | undecim: OK!! :-) Fantastic! I´m back online! :-) Wonder what set it off?! But thank you very much for the assistance! | 17:35 |
| mneimne | maedox, i want apache+mysql are they found in the repos? | 17:35 |
| undecim | magnuso: No problem | 17:35 |
| joesin | so lets say you set up to proxy to the ip provided by the usb nic on the host... | 17:35 |
| joesin | brige the network | 17:35 |
| maedox | mneimne: yes they are in the repos | 17:35 |
| Licuadora | If i upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 bte, will i`ll be ablo to upgrade to final version without a problem? | 17:35 |
| joesin | is that a good idea to those who know more then me? | 17:35 |
| boo_boo | yeah joesin | 17:36 |
| Licuadora | I mean, no kernel problems or something like thta? | 17:36 |
| joesin | so in my little mind, this is how I think it should work | 17:36 |
| joesin | oh... and I was wrong | 17:36 |
| juk | undecim: thanks | 17:36 |
| joesin | you actually want net, so you get a similar ip as your host | 17:36 |
| maedox | Licuadora: normally beta to final will go by without issues. It's normally done seamlessly without intervention. | 17:37 |
| joesin | i meant NAT* | 17:37 |
| mneimne | whats the life time of each ubuntu version? | 17:37 |
| endhiran | undecim:yes my graphics card memory is 128 mb and processor is amd 64 athlon with speed 1.80 Mhz. is it suitabe? | 17:37 |
| joesin | to you get you ip through dns | 17:37 |
| boo_boo | no joesin just access through usb not from host like independent VM | 17:37 |
| undecim | endhiran: Should be. Maybe you just have the animation speed set to slow? | 17:37 |
| joesin | no, thats not what I mean, and i dont think if I get your meant would work.. | 17:38 |
| WXZ | where is the information for gnome panels stored? | 17:38 |
| joesin | this is what I am saying... | 17:38 |
| WXZ | so that I don't have to redo everything manually when I reinstall | 17:38 |
| joesin | so your host has a nic and its own ip | 17:38 |
| NuckChorris | test | 17:38 |
| maedox | mneimne: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 17:38 |
| undecim | endhiran: Try turning off desktop effects (System -> Preferences -> Appearance; Visual Effects tab) | 17:38 |
| joesin | config usb to be on the same network. | 17:38 |
| joesin | so now you have two nics on the same box.. | 17:38 |
| joesin | different ips, | 17:38 |
| boo_boo | oh i see like bridge wlan0 to host | 17:39 |
| tle_ | I'm having an issue with amd64-mingw32mscv-gcc It keeps telling me that it can't find -lgcc Does anyone know a fix for this? | 17:39 |
| undecim | endhiran: I've found that desktop effects slow down some apps like GIMP and inkscape. Seems like the transitions would have a similar problem. | 17:39 |
| joesin | then on the vm, you should get a nat IP | 17:39 |
| joesin | but that with hit the wired network | 17:39 |
| maedox | WXZ: in you home folder under .gnome2, .config, .gconf | 17:39 |
| boo_boo | yeah ill give that ago | 17:39 |
| WXZ | under 3 diff. folders? | 17:39 |
| joesin | proxy to the ip of your usb, and thats your new gateway | 17:39 |
| joesin | yea, but dont bridge... | 17:40 |
| WXZ | I just need the locations of the panel apps :s | 17:40 |
| endhiran | undecim:no didn't give any effects to desktop | 17:40 |
| joesin | you will get a 10 ip intead of your nat 192 | 17:40 |
| joesin | try it, let me know how that works out | 17:40 |
| qing | hello | 17:40 |

| qing | where is people? | 17:40 |
| joesin | can someone help me with free nx over ssh ? | 17:40 |
| maedox | WXZ: I'm not exactly sure which one you need from those. All settings are stored in your home folder, so backing that up saves you a lot of config after reinstall if that's what you're after. | 17:40 |

| boo_boo | ok ill look that up thanks llutz | 18:15 |
| Dulak | xbonesx: but it does work | 18:15 |
| xbonesx | Dulak: the current way i have it setup yes... but if i ever reinstall was just wondering if that driver worked, not a big deal lol | 18:16 |

| MashPotato | Stealth__: don't even try to delete the files manually, you can seriously screw up your system that way | 18:45 |
| joesin | JohnHeikkila: cheers for the quick response... will try now | 18:45 |
| BusinessGu | i'm using the Ubuntu Netbook Distro (just installed this week) I think it is 10.04, dunno how to find out in system | 18:45 |
| aeon-ltd | xbonesx: ok, might just be incompatible drivers from the liveCD | 18:45 |
| joesin | xander: thank you as well... | 18:45 |
| Stealth__ | MashPotato, I am planning on doing it from a live CD | 18:45 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: same thing, use gparted | 18:45 |
| Stealth__ | Thats just the picture of my partitions so you know how it looks | 18:45 |
| Stealth__ | I am going to boot from a liveCD, run gparted, format everything from sda4 downwards, and install a fresh copy of ubuntu on it | 18:45 |
| JohnHeikkila | BusinessGu: Yes, I think it's 10.04. You should try using Synaptic instead of the Software Center | 18:46 |
| antivirtel | how can I make sure, that my Minolta DI152 printer isnt supported by ubuntu? I havent found driver, but some other way? | 18:46 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: it allows you to format/delete them, so just use that option | 18:46 |
| xander | joesin example gksu firefox will ask for su password b4 running | 18:46 |
| xbonesx | aeon-ltd: what i was thinking... is their anyway i could make a custom live cd with the preinstalled drivers? | 18:46 |

| Stealth__ | Yeah MashPotato , i am going to delete them and put ubuntu on the partition that is left. my question is will it hurt my windows 7 install? | 18:46 |
| xbonesx | aeon-ltd: can i get the from the synaptic? | 18:46 |
| JohnHeikkila | kaspir: What is your problem? | 18:46 |
| xbonesx | t* | 18:46 |
| aeon-ltd | xbonesx: no its a website | 18:46 |
| xander | kaspir whats the problem | 18:46 |
| xbonesx | that* | 18:46 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: not as long as you don't touch the windows7 partition | 18:46 |
| Stealth__ | So everything from sda4 and downwards should be deleted if I want to get rid of ubuntu from my system, then I go to install and put ubuntu on the empty space? | 18:47 |
| Stealth__ | I know the files from my ubuntu installs will be deleted but thats good | 18:47 |
| xbonesx | aeon-ltd: is in-cooperating a display driver very hard to do? | 18:47 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: that is, sda1, sda2 and sda3 | 18:47 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: yes | 18:47 |
| kaspir | JohnHeikkila: The window borders are transparent and some windows (like the terminal) are a yellow green and displays no text | 18:47 |
| Stealth__ | MashPotato, last question, will i need 2gb of space to create swap? | 18:47 |
| aeon-ltd | xbonesx: no it should just be one package, also if you;ve got another gpu just use that until the install finish | 18:48 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: one gb will do, I guess | 18:48 |
| Stealth__ | I got a gig of ram on this netbook so 2gb of swap is the correct amount right? | 18:48 |
| JohnHeikkila | Install 'fusion-icon' then run it by pressing ALT+F2 and typing 'fusion-icon' | 18:48 |
| MashPotato | !swap | Stealth__ | 18:48 |
| ubottu | Stealth__: 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 | 18:48 |

| xbonesx | aeon-ltd: thought about that as well but unfortunately this a slimline hp desktop, very small pc case, no room for extra pci's | 18:48 |
| xangua | BusinessGu: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installed | 18:48 |
| jivesh | i am new to irc | 18:49 |
| JohnHeikkila | kaspir: Then, right-click the icon and "Select Window Manager". Tell us which window manager is on use | 18:49 |
| JohnHeikkila | jivesh: And? | 18:49 |
| Stealth__ | mashPotato, what COULD go wrong with my computer if i delete these partitions | 18:49 |
| jivesh | can someone tell me about it | 18:49 |
| Stealth__ | I meen if it does not touch my windows 7 partition that contains 99% of my important files I am fine | 18:49 |
| jrib | BusinessGu: that's probably net related to flash. Pastebin the actual error though | 18:49 |

| xbonesx | aeon-ltd: when is it to release and is it recommended to switch considering 10.04 is LTS? | 18:52 |
| MashPotato | Stealth__: yes, but the installer will take care of most things, just make sure that you __DONT__ erase the whole disk, because that obviously also remove windows7 | 18:52 |
| Stealth__ | Yeah mash, I am generally careful | 18:52 |
| x0rs | Anyone know where I can find my "Session" options in Ubuntu 10? | 18:52 |

| BluesKaj | Stealth__, for / , 10g is enough , then create a separate /home partition , ext4 as well. Then the next time you want to upgrade with a clean install , you can install the OS to / and your /home partiton with all your data will be untouched and saved | 18:56 |

| xander | try it again right click on desktop select create launcher create launcer example in dialog box add gksu in front of firefox then gnome will ask for su password to statr | 19:14 |
| blue_anna | if you dont have an xorg.conf how do you configure x? | 19:14 |
| Guest20242 | JohnHeikki and everybody else thanks alot. Now I know the message is no big deal. | 19:14 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: you can create one if you really need it | 19:15 |
| xander | or if launcher already exist just right click and select properties | 19:15 |
| joesin | JohnHeikkila: yeah buddy... thank you! | 19:15 |
| NeoLeoSeo | Anyone? | 19:15 |
| blue_anna | erUSUL, how can I create one based on the current configuration? is there a way to dump the current config? | 19:15 |
| JohnHeikkila | joesin: No problem ;) | 19:15 |
| NeoLeoSeo | .... | 19:15 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: try « sudo xorg -configure :1 » | 19:16 |
| blue_anna | erUSUL, I have gallium working on my machine now :) | 19:16 |
| blue_anna | erUSUL, thank you | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: iirc it leaves it in /root/ or in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:16 |
| shcherbak | NeoLoeSeo: i had to reinstall gdm, after installing kdm to fix | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: congrats | 19:16 |
| NeoLeoSeo | ok | 19:16 |
| JohnHeikkila | blue_anna: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:16 |
| NeoLeoSeo | i'll try that | 19:16 |
| peace | shcherbak: ya | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: xorg is with capital X sorry ( Xorg ) | 19:16 |
| shcherbak | NeoLoeSeo: but, you would need to check x configuration first, it can be trivial | 19:17 |
| navetz | Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out? | 19:18 |
| peace | shcherbak: r u there | 19:18 |
| blue_anna | erUSUL, I got a hella interesting result from that: http://nopaste.dk/p2472 | 19:18 |
| xander | personly if your really screwed just delete xorg.conf found in /etc/X11/ reboot | 19:19 |
| shcherbak | peace: remove temp from firefox and try opera (browser of choice) | 19:19 |
| JohnHeikkila | blue_anna: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:19 |
| Dexter | Evening. I'm looking to mount my reiserfs on startup in 10.04.1. Can someone help me with this? | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | navetz, open alsamixer and make sure the mic ctrl is unmuted and turned up | 19:19 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: :( it died ..... maybe the xorg.conf survived ? --> Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new" | 19:19 |
| xander | or dpkg -reconfig xorg is a good option too | 19:19 |
| x0rs | Anyone know of a good application that will relpace the Alt-F2 command line? I removed gnome-panel from my /usr/bin and now my alt-f2 doesn't work and would like some sort of replacement | 19:20 |
| xander | as john stated | 19:20 |
| JohnHeikkila | No, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:20 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: alt+f2 is not a command line, it's like a quick-launch | 19:20 |
| Weezer | is there any application that i can make stick animation in ubuntu? like the kung fu stick in youtube? | 19:20 |
| erUSUL | blue_anna: if it does not work with the :1 trick you may have to stop/shutdown X/gdm and do it without X running | 19:20 |
| blue_anna | JohnHeikkila, when I do that, what should be the result? | 19:21 |
| shcherbak | x0rs: bash-run is nice sctipt, harder with shortcuts | 19:21 |
| x0rs | JohnHeikkila: gotcha, do you know of a good quick-launch app that will replace gnome-panel? | 19:21 |
| blue_anna | erUSUL, I did get the config but I worry it might not have generated all of it since it crashed | 19:21 |
| JohnHeikkila | blue_anna: Same as the cmd you tried before. Reconfigure Xorg. | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | xOrphenochx, alt+f2 is the run command and use it with an editor or file manager | 19:21 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: Well, DockbarX | 19:21 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: Cairo dock | 19:21 |
| x0rs | oh nice | 19:21 |
| m3asmi | how can I logout from my session from terminal | 19:22 |
| blue_anna | well that files not changed, I guess thats a good thing | 19:22 |
| x0rs | JohnHeikkila: I already use AWM, do those docks add a panel? All I need is an Alt-F2 launcher | 19:22 |
| Guest20242 | xOrs: awn is light compare to cairo dock | 19:22 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: Cairo dock is like Mac's | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | oops sorry xOrphenochx , wrong nick | 19:22 |
| pradeep | is there a terminal chat client that support all basic IMs | 19:22 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: the Alt+F2 launcher comes from Compiz. <sudo apt-get install compiz fusion-icon> | 19:22 |
| st_iron | hi | 19:23 |
| x0rs | JohnHeikkila: nice thank you | 19:23 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: then Applications-->System tools->Compiz Fusion Icon | 19:23 |
| x0rs | nice | 19:23 |
| shcherbak | i do not thinks x0rs still have menu | 19:23 |
| st_iron | i would like to ask some question about the ubuntu horde3 installation -> i have to make a horde3 webmail tomorrow | 19:23 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: That will pop up an icon in the notification area. Right-click it and Select Window Manager as Compiz | 19:23 |
| st_iron | i have a postfix+courier server with mysql backend | 19:24 |
| x0rs | shcherbak: yes I do... I am using AWM as my panel | 19:24 |
| st_iron | could i use horde on this combo? now i have roundcube webmail | 19:24 |
| xangua | pradeep: finch, it uses libpurple like pidgin (and both use the same directory configuration) | 19:24 |
| shcherbak | ups.. good then | 19:24 |
| Guest20242 | dear ubuntu brother/sisters I will leave. take care. | 19:24 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: AWM, eh? You need to put the notification area / indicator applet there | 19:25 |
| soreau | JohnHeikkila: For the record, compiz doesnt provide alt+f2 run dialog. gnome-panel provides it, though it wont work without a decorator running | 19:25 |
| JohnHeikkila | x0rs: I am using gnome-panel and AWM | 19:25 |
| soreau | or metacity | 19:25 |
| Weezer | is there any application that i can make stick animation in ubuntu? like the kung fu stick in youtube? | 19:25 |
| JohnHeikkila | soreau: Okay. Can you explain why cant I use alt+f2 when I have set the window manager as openbox from fusion icon :S | 19:25 |
| ed__ | can anybody assist me with uninstalling project open from ubuntu? I have a borked installation and it has gone to hell and want to start fromt he top | 19:25 |

| x0rs | JohnHeikkila: I have notification area, and it seems I am already using Compiz... it's already selected, but no Alt-F2 launcher still | 19:26 |

| soreau | x0rs: yes, try enabling Gnome Compatibility plugin in ccsm | 19:28 |
| soreau | x0rs: and check for alt+f2 there | 19:28 |

| _L30_ | anyway will look into that thanks soreau trism | 19:32 |
| === benjamin_ is now known as BenjiProd | ||
| x0rs | soreau: Ahh, found the option... but enabling it doesn't make it work... it works when i turn gnome-panel back on, but I not when I disable it... It seems that launcher is tied to the panel somehow | 19:33 |
| soreau | x0rs: As I told the other fellow that has since left, the alt+f2 run dialog is provided by gnome-panel, not compiz | 19:34 |
| boing | hi | 19:35 |
| x0rs | soreau: oh gotcha, well that makes sense then. Any recomendations for a launcher that can run via Alt-F2 that doesn't require me to have a redundant panel on my desktop? | 19:35 |
| Ryen | x0rs: You can try 'kupfer' it runs a dialog with CTRL+SPACE. | 19:36 |
| xangua | x0rs: try kupfer | 19:36 |
| x0rs | Ryen: thanks a lot | 19:36 |
| x0rs | cool | 19:36 |
| xangua | you can also change the key combination | 19:36 |
| Ryen | x0rs: I use Kupfer on my gnome desktop. | 19:36 |
| xbonesx | is there a way to install .dmg file on ubuntu, i know its a mac os x installer type, but still? | 19:37 |
| madsy | Anyone knows if there are Linux drivers for the Steinberg CI 2 USB audio controller? | 19:37 |
| x0rs | ryen: excellent, installing it as we speak | 19:37 |
| Ryen | x0rs: just as xangua said, you can change it to what ever you want under preferences. | 19:37 |
| xbonesx | mac os x has some of the same concepts in design, was just wondering? | 19:37 |

| boing | problem installing 10.4 I have 2 hdd ssd + 500 sata, i partition 100g for linux from the sata when I try to install i do not see the 100g's | 19:38 |
| xbonesx | erUSUL: well the download im getting says that it is considered a .bin file, can i extract and re-compile so that it can be ran in ubuntu? | 19:38 |
| x0rs | Is kupfer similar to gnome-do? | 19:39 |
| Lollipop56 | hi I'd like to format my iPod, what should I choose? MBR, GUID or APM? | 19:39 |
| Ryen | x0rs: Yes. | 19:39 |
| x0rs | ok cool | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | xbonesx: do not think it ncludes source code; also a simple recompile wont work anyway. a dmg file is actually a disk image. you can mount it in linux systems and look at wat is inside nothing more afaik | 19:39 |
| Ryen | x0rs: Actually very similar, but kupfer is now becoming more advanced than gnome-do. I made the switch about 3 months ago. | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | xbonesx: http://baghira.sourceforge.net/dmg.htm | 19:39 |
| x0rs | Ryen: nice, thanks for the recommendation.. This should solve my problem perfectly | 19:40 |

| Centigonal | Hello, there | 19:57 |
| Centigonal | I'm not usually one to barge into a channel asking for help, but I am a little desperate and more than a little angry right now. | 19:58 |
| erUSUL | !ask | Centigonal | 19:58 |
| ubottu | Centigonal: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:58 |
| slow-motion | hi | 19:58 |
| Dulak | martez89: the default intel driver ubuntu autodetects, not had any issues with video that made me look at it | 19:59 |
| Fezzler | xangua>> Still no video. Firefox issue? Firefox says "Adobe Flash has crashed" | 19:59 |
| Fezzler | xangua>> ...at YouTube | 19:59 |
| Centigonal | So I have a netbook with a broken screen I'm converting into a lttle home server. I grabbed the ubuntu server iso, took the hdd out of the netbook, plugged into the desktop, and got to installing | 19:59 |
| xangua | Fezzler: no idea, are you using a 64bit OS¿ | 20:00 |
| Fezzler | xangua>> No | 20:00 |
| Centigonal | Long story short, the netbook still has a few issues, and a 1.5tb drive filled with important information on my desktop is invisible to windows. | 20:00 |
| surfer | I have a ? regarding installation with a ATI Radeon HD 5770 video card. Install starts and then, I get no signal thru video card. | 20:00 |
| Centigonal | I know I did not mae any errors partitioning | 20:01 |
| surfer | any way of patching the install to include a driver for video card? | 20:01 |
| martez89 | Dulak: ok because i read somewhere it only happened with open source drivers. do you have any problems after BIOS update? | 20:01 |
| Centigonal | The only thing that likely could have happened was that, wen I told the installer to install to /dev/sdc, it somehow installed GRUB to the 1.5tb drive. | 20:01 |
| miststlkr | According to my system monitor, my RAM runs around 27% in use for programs and the rest completely for cache. This keeps casing programs to freeze up on me, is there a way to force cache dump perhaps? | 20:01 |
| Dulak | martez89: nope, updated the bios and my netbook runs cooler now | 20:01 |
| Centigonal | So, what to do? | 20:02 |
| Fezzler | Does anyone have ability to help me get video (YouTube) working in Firefox via Ubuntu? | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | Centigonal: installing grub to a drive shouldn't make it invisible to windows. | 20:02 |
| navetz | Hi I have a envy 15 laptop and I can't get the microphone working with skype (or anything else). Can someone help me out? | 20:02 |
| Centigonal | odd | 20:03 |
| Centigonal | It's actually invisible to the point that not even the partitioner built into windows recognizes it | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | Centigonal: can you view it from linux? what does « sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdx » about the partition table? what about gparted ? | 20:03 |
| miststlkr | Fezzler: I went to the adobe site and installed using their .DEB debian package option. | 20:03 |
| martez89 | Dulak: did you update the BIOS from ubuntu? | 20:03 |
| Fezzler | misteralexander>> And it works? | 20:04 |
| Fezzler | miststlkr>> and it works? | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | Centigonal: if the pt is indeed corrupt you can try using testdisk ( either from windows or linux ) or gpart ( this one is only aviable in linux ) | 20:04 |
| Dulak | martez89: no I booted freedos, I have a freedos setup in my grub menu for running dos stuff | 20:04 |
| Centigonal | Hm, that might take a little while to try... | 20:04 |
| mbroeker | miststlkr, try this in terminal: sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=30 | 20:05 |
| martez89 | Dulak: like this? http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/07/flashing-bios.html | 20:05 |
| jfeole | surfer: so u get video initially? | 20:05 |
| miststlkr | fezzler: It does. I know on my other system, for fun, I added an adobe repository to the synaptic list in the PPA's, but I'm on my way out the door apparently and don't remember offhand hgow. Lookup "Adobe PPA Ubuntu" may do the trick | 20:05 |
| VCoolio | miststlkr: bleachbit can dump cache, but it says it's experimental; I tried it once, it worked | 20:06 |
| miststlkr | mbroeker: k.. what'd I just do? | 20:06 |
| Dulak | martez89: sort of, that one is for the acer linux, not ubuntu | 20:06 |
| antonello | #ubuntu.it | 20:06 |
| surfer | jfeole: yes, up to GUI, then nothing | 20:06 |
| antonello | buonasera | 20:07 |
| antonello | a tutti | 20:07 |

| ManDay | 1.) my reply to erUSUL was already given - proc does not have any mention | 20:18 |

| xbonesx | guntbert: correct | 20:28 |
| Dulak | xbonesx: not sure what to tell you, the livecd isn't the best OS-on-cd out there, it's just designed to be a preview and diag tool, not a constantly running OS. Look at slax if that's what you need. | 20:28 |

| edbian | Bingo, What are you trying to do exactly? | 20:29 |
| xbonesx | Dulak: no i dont want to make a habit out of it, just downloaded packages for that pc without having to install the os, that way i could make a custimized live cd with preinstalled drivers and such | 20:29 |
| edbian | Bingo, cron will run any program for you but you won't see the stdout output. Just the effects of the program. (if it writes a file, has a gui, etc etc) | 20:30 |
| Dulak | xbonesx: yeah, that does suck, if you logout yer kinda screwed for sudo access | 20:30 |

| Dulak | csmith1994: psd is a proprietary format, you won't get a perfect open on it no matter what you do | 20:34 |
| edbian | Bingo, then just write a cron-job for gnome-terminal to start. | 20:34 |
| Dulak | xbonesx: we call that pebkac... | 20:34 |
| csmith1994 | Dulak is there a converter from psd to xcf? or what is the latest version of photoshop that can be emulated under WINE? | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | cryptic0: define "doesn't work" ? existing from the grub promt does not imply that the boot process will continue witout problems | 20:35 |
| Dulak | csmith1994: cs4 works under wine, and I'm not aware of a good converter | 20:35 |
| cryptic0 | erUSUL: exit returns me to the same grub> prompt and control+d doesn't do anything | 20:35 |

| VCoolio | !checkinstall | bgy | 20:42 |
| ubottu | bgy: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

| shafiq | Can anyone give me any tips on installing themes into Ubuntu? I'm using the Theme installer, but it just doesn't seem to work. | 20:52 |
| VCoolio | shafiq: if it's a .tar.gz, drag into that window, else extract manually into ~/.themes | 20:53 |
| Licuadora | There is something call "fontypon" let me try that one | 20:53 |
| Licuadora | *fontypyhton | 20:54 |
| shafiq | VCoolio: it's weird because it seems when I do either of those, they still don't show up in the theme manager. latest ubuntu is gtk 2.x, correct? | 20:54 |
| Agent001 | Yeah you're right. The default ubuntu theme is better | 20:54 |
| edbian | shafiq, You download a .tar or .tar.gz Take the file, drag it into the fonts chooser window. You get no feedback usually except the theme appears in there. Installing themes IMHO is terribly done in all of linux. You can also place the .tar.gz files somewhere (possible in ~/.themes) I don't rememeber where though | 20:54 |
| joesin | after installing myphpadmin how do I log into it? | 20:54 |
| VCoolio | shafiq: correct; what did you download? have a link? | 20:54 |

| joesin | that is what I meant | 20:55 |
| lolcat | I only have internett in a virtual machine, ubuntu cant connect. How do I figure out what is wrong? | 20:55 |

| shafiq | *what's = once | 20:57 |
| lolcat | How can I check if the cable is connected? | 20:57 |
| lolcat | Ubuntu says Im not on the network, but I know that is impossible | 20:57 |
| VCoolio | shafiq: if it only contains gtk2 and no metacity, or if it lacks an index.theme file, you find it only there, if it's complete, it shows up in the main window | 20:57 |
| shafiq | VCoolio: what is metacity? | 20:58 |
| VCoolio | shafiq: window borders | 20:58 |
| VCoolio | shafiq: metacity is default window manager (or with compiz, window decorator) which includes borders and title bar; gtk2 is widgets, controls, menus | 20:59 |

| edbian | cryptic0, The reason you're in the grub menu at all is because grub can't find your operating systems. It is likely that it is miss configured. You can't get out of it easily because getting out of it easily would imply getting into the OS. That is the job of grub in the first place. To make getting into your OS easy. | 21:00 |

| cryptic0 | edbian: isn't there an easy way to just reinstall grub, or even lilo? I like lilo much better | 21:02 |
| enterusername | anyone? | 21:02 |
| enterusername | is there no way to control what order upstart starts its services? | 21:02 |
| enterusername | why would you change to upstart then :( | 21:02 |
| VCoolio | enterusername: not sure; you could hack the samba startup script to wait for cups, it's all bash so not too complicated | 21:02 |
| nurv | I have samba up and running on my ubuntu machine, but my windows computer doesnt see it | 21:02 |
| edbian | cryptic0, I don't know how to install lilo. You can re-install grub using a live CD and the grub-install command. Read the man page for grub-install on the live CD | 21:03 |

| VCoolio | nurv: do you have a folder that you shared? are you in the same workgroup as the windows machine? | 21:03 |
| shafiq | VCoolio: okay, thanks man. i think i got it. and to install an icon theme pack, do i just extract that one to a certain dir, or is there a manager for that, too? | 21:04 |
| enterusername | eruSUL: So how do you tell upstart to start cups after samba though? Like with init.d i could say S99 for last and S1 for first | 21:04 |
| nurv | VCoolio: i setup the windows computer to the same host/domain as the samba | 21:04 |
| VCoolio | shafiq: same way as themes, just use ~/.icons | 21:04 |
| enterusername | eruSUL: Could i turn off the samba in upstart and start samba scripts from within the cups script? | 21:04 |
| VCoolio | nurv: and other way round? do you see windows box from inside ubuntu? | 21:04 |

| edbian | megamindstorm101, I can help you get that driver working if you'd like. It is likely though you will see no difference. | 21:25 |

| Dulak | mobasher: did you install the package named libapache2-mod-php5? | 21:26 |

| Dulak | mobasher: change the name of the file so it ends in .php, not .html | 21:31 |

| Bingo | @VCoolio - empty line...nothing at all.. | 21:31 |

| mobasher | Dulak=}} believe it not some people made me reinstall the apache 4 times for that lmao | 21:32 |
| wesselch1 | little help :-) | 21:33 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: if you had vi(m), hit :q! to exit; then add the line << EDITOR=nano >> to ~/.bashrc to use nano in situations like this and restart the terminal | 21:33 |
| Dulak | mobasher: hah, well luckily I was here then or you might have had to do it again | 21:33 |
| rifter | maybe I really did break myself. I don't think anyone wants to touch that one, and I don't blame them :D | 21:33 |

| n8w | unkmar: ok thx,i thought that ive read somewhere that i chould not touch the cfg file | 21:37 |
| n8w | *should not | 21:37 |
| wpecker | I can install the plugin by installing sun-java6-plugin package but I don't want to do it since it breaks firefox settings, is there another way? | 21:37 |
| unkmar | n8w: certain locations in the .cfg aren't suppose to be messed with. | 21:38 |
| mobasher | Dulak=}} no worries it's cool man..it's done..thanks i appreciate your help | 21:38 |

| wpecker | (duffydack): it installs some extra stuff, I suspect they cause it | 21:40 |
| === root is now known as Guest22273 | ||

| n8w | unkmar: so i can safely remove some of the OS entries rite? | 21:40 |
| wpecker | (duffydack): it installs extra ubufox, firefox-branding and firefox packages if I recall correctly | 21:41 |

| coal | thanks | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_mad: all I can suggest is remove the package then reinstall it | 21:45 |
| cryptic0 | I just reinstalled grub2 and after rebooting, I am trying to update it's menu. But I get an error: can't find a device for / (is /dev mounted?) | 21:45 |
| ubuntu_mad | ActionParsnip: did that via nvidia purge and then installed again | 21:46 |
| wpecker | I tried copying /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | wpecker: you need to symlink it | 21:46 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: ok, add that to .bashrc and see if that solves it (restart terminal or 'source ~/.bashrc') | 21:46 |
| wpecker | I tried copying /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ but then it crashes whenever I open a java applet | 21:47 |
| NAJI | hello | 21:47 |
| wpecker | (ActionParsnip): sorry I symlinked it not copied | 21:47 |
| gnutun | hay all; my "hardware drivers" doesn't show the driver for my ATI card, even though it did just ten minutes ago ... how can i get it back? | 21:47 |
| misteralexander | NAJI: hey | 21:47 |
| Bingo | .bashrc | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | wpecker: cool | 21:47 |
| Bingo | ok | 21:47 |
| duffydack | wpecker, if you are using a newer firefox than whats in the repo, why not try a ppa? | 21:47 |
| NAJI | i got a problem with internet, i live in area with very slow net protocol, i can chat on irc but i cannot surf the web | 21:47 |
| n8w | unkmar: ive got one more question...when i remove some entries from grub.cfg n do sudo update-grub,they will appear in there again | 21:48 |
| duffydack | and keep the package manager happy | 21:48 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: you could also add to ~/.profile, that's read only on login, .bashrc every time you start a new shell | 21:48 |
| misteralexander | NA | 21:48 |
| misteralexander | NAJI: sucks! LOL, sorry. | 21:48 |
| ubuntu_mad | ActionParsnip: any other ideas or should i wait for the bug to be answered? | 21:48 |

| unkmar | n8w: probably, unless you remove the kernels that the update is detecting. | 21:49 |
| NAJI | any idea what i can do??? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_mad: could try a PPA with a later driver, theres a 256 driver if your nvidia chip is fairly recent | 21:49 |
| Bingo | @VCoolio - what's the permanent solution ? | 21:49 |
| Bingo | @VCoolio - Also, although the cronjob is setup, | 21:49 |

| Roush427r | Ok... let me try this again, Does anybody know how to get a sidebar for Ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| duffydack | wpecker, not sure if that works I dont use firefox, but there is that and a daily ppa, its best to use a ppa rather than a tarball. | 21:52 |
| fadumpt | Can anyone tell me the ubuntu club channel? | 21:52 |

| ubottu | jeand: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 21:53 |
| wpecker | (duffydack): because that's why I didn't use apt-get in the first place, | 21:53 |
| NAJI | webdwo: i hope it will be fetched!! | 21:53 |
| duffydack | wpecker, shouldnt it just use what language you have installed? what language do you need | 21:54 |
| ubuntu_mad | ActionParsnip: Gforce 6800 but let me confirm | 21:54 |

| misteralexander | wpecker: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 | 21:54 |

| ilker | hello i have been trying to connect internet for a week. what is the simple way? does wicd work? | 21:57 |

| NAJI | webdo: hahaha!! so you checked that out!! thanks | 21:58 |
| wedwo | NAJI, maybe try late at night when net traffic is slow | 21:58 |
| ilker | btw, manual configuration, static IP. | 21:58 |
| NAJI | webdo: any trick to do with firefox?? | 21:58 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: also the script is supposed to delete itself, maybe that's not possible; try '/bin/touch /home/nikhil/Temp/ItWorks.txt' | 21:58 |
| NAJI | webdo: this net is dead slow, nobody uses it!!! | 21:58 |
| nothingspecial | ilker: not if your connection is not working anyway | 21:58 |
| NAJI | webdo: gprs!!! | 21:59 |
| Powerwork | guys i have multiple virtual hosts and static pages are served with nginx. On the server itself the domains of these virtual hosts work fine. But from elsewhere I run into this error "your browser does not support frames." http://dpaste.com/248872/ Is that a firewall problem? | 22:00 |
| ilker | nothingspecial: not working for a week, there is no patience for me | 22:00 |
| nothingspecial | ilker: what is your network interface? sudo lshw -C network | 22:00 |
| neekers | is anyone here familiar with denyhosts? | 22:00 |
| wedwo | NAJI, gprs is wireless - don't you have some way to use ethernet? | 22:00 |
| Powerwork | sorry multiple apache virtual hosts | 22:00 |

| ilker | nothingspecial: i gave this command, what do you wanna know? there is a lot of thing. | 22:02 |
| Bingo | @VCoolio - I'm not trying to delete the cron.sh file as well....I'm just trying to delete a particular folder "Temp" that I've created for this very purpose. | 22:02 |
| wpecker | (jfeole): no errors, when I open the applet | 22:02 |
| wpecker | nothing appears in the terminal | 22:02 |
| jfeole | so it dies when ya try and open an applet? | 22:02 |
| wpecker | no it doesn't work at all | 22:02 |
| nothingspecial | ilker: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:03 |
| neekers | the denyhosts faq says to configure cron like this -> 0,20,40 * * * * python PATH_TO_DENYHOSTS/denyhosts.py -c PATH_TO_DENYHOSTS_CONFIG/denyhosts.cfg but there ins't a denyhosts.py, there is a deny_hosts.py in /usr/share/denyhosts/DenyHosts/ | 22:03 |
| wpecker | the site says I don't have java | 22:03 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: ah, ok, sorry, thought that .sh was in the Temp folder; ok then; what line in crontab do you have? | 22:03 |
| ilker | nothingspecial: i cannot do that, i am on another computer | 22:03 |
| wedwo | Naji, I see - unless you know someone in the government or maybe university who can burn you repository CD I know of no way to slim down your bandwidth | 22:03 |
| wpecker | (jfeole): it used to crash before but now nothing | 22:03 |
| ubuntu-newbie | Any idea why Empathy's File Transfer doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.04 ? Not for Google Talk or MSN. Tried both. MSN just grays out the choice and Google Talk gives an error. Can't receive | 22:03 |
| ubuntu-newbie | files either. People get some errors on Google Talk like "He isn't using a valid client" or something. | 22:03 |
| wpecker | (jfeole): maybe I'm using the wrong .so file? | 22:03 |
| Bingo | I've created a file cron.sh under $HOME/Desktop with it's content as "rm -r $HOME/Desktop/Temp" | 22:03 |
| Daniel | ubuntu-newbie: I have the same problem. But in Ubuntu 9.10. | 22:04 |
| NAJI | webdo: i can take my laptop and travel 50 km to connect via ethernet!! but, I have work here | 22:04 |
| Bingo | crontab -e has " Mins hours * * * $HOME/Desktop/cron.sh | 22:04 |
| nothingspecial | ilker: Need to know the card. Got to go anyway. Someone will know. Cheers | 22:05 |
| ubuntu-newbie | Daniel: I think Empathy's site said they'd support file transfers, but I'd like to know what's wrong. It's a pity you have the same problem :( | 22:05 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: cron is very stupid; try /home/username instead of $HOME | 22:05 |
| Bingo | @VCoolio - So, as far as I understand, it must delete the TEMP directory created on the desktop... | 22:05 |
| NAJI | wedwo: and i need net for many purposes, including surfing the web!!! is there anything i can do with firefox to surf the web | 22:05 |
| Bingo | hehe | 22:05 |
| NAJI | ??? | 22:05 |
| Bingo | All right boss ! I'll try that as well :D | 22:06 |
| Daniel | ubuntu-newbie: yeah | 22:06 |
| NAJI | wedwo: even it goona be slow, it is better than nothing | 22:06 |
| ilker | nothingspecial: NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe for eth0 | 22:06 |
| Powerwork | guys why do i get such a different ping results? http://dpaste.com/249289/ | 22:06 |
| Powerwork | is that a hostname issue? | 22:06 |
| Powerwork | firewall issue? | 22:06 |
| Daniel | how can i change my user color? | 22:06 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: also check the cron log in /var/log (you need 'sudo nano /var/log/crond.log' ) for errors | 22:07 |
| ubuntu-newbie | btw is there any way to delete only some history items / recent file history in Ubuntu? I don't mean the whole history and I don't mean Firefox. | 22:07 |
| NAJI | wedwo: can't use filezilla ftp client!!! dead net!!! | 22:07 |
| ubuntu-newbie | I mean if I have alot of useful stuff in my recent files history and some that aren't that useful. I want the unuseful stuff out | 22:07 |
| ubuntu-newbie | it takes space | 22:07 |
| NAJI | wedwo: google did open a search page!!!!!!! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!! | 22:08 |
| Andreas | hello | 22:09 |
| Andreas | kaneis ellinas | 22:09 |
| silasdavis | on ubuntu 10.10 where is sshd configured | 22:09 |
| Andreas | ? | 22:09 |
| VCoolio | Bingo: maybe you even need to tell cron what the shell is: /bin/sh /home/user/Desktop/cron.sh , don't despair, it will do as you say some day ;) , but with this I'm pretty much out of options | 22:10 |
| wpecker | I solved the plugin problem by linking /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so file to firefox/plugins directory, thanks to all who helped. | 22:10 |
| llutz | silasdavis: #ubuntu+1 /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 22:10 |
| silasdavis | llutz: I'm trying to assist someone, is is normal for that file to be empty on a fresh ubuntu install? | 22:10 |
| silasdavis | also on typing sudo service sshd start, my friend gets 'service not found' | 22:11 |
| llutz | silasdavis: i'm not sure if openssh-server is installed by default. but 10.10-support is on #ubuntu+1 | 22:11 |
| Bingo | Apparently, ya ! replacement of $HOME went in vain..so, I'll try the last suggestion...Fingers crossed...;) | 22:11 |
| maedox | silasdavis: it's called ssh from lucid and on. sshd_config should not be empty. | 22:11 |
| rolo | what is ubuntu system's windowing library called? | 22:12 |
| jfeole | ssh is NOT installed by default | 22:12 |
| ilker | so how do i download wicd .deb package for 64 bit systems? | 22:13 |
| silasdavis | I have got him to install ssh-server, and in fact it is running, I need to change the port, but I am concerned that sshd_config | 22:13 |
| jrib | ilker: wicd is in the repositories | 22:14 |

| mpalakis | does anyone know why i cant wach video with vlc? | 22:16 |
| jrib | ilker: wicd won't run on windows. If you want to install it on ubuntu, just go to the computer with ubuntu and install it there | 22:16 |

| mpalakis | ok, wait | 22:18 |

| mpalakis | ok unkmar | 22:30 |
| mpalakis | it plays now | 22:30 |
| unkmar | mpalakis: so the problem is the GUI interface. You can try -I skin instead of ncurses and see if that works as well. | 22:30 |
| mpalakis | it playd with vlc -I ncurses | 22:31 |
| Daniel | Acidphase: OK | 22:31 |
| unkmar | mpalakis: correct, -I ncurses is NOT a GUI interface. it is a console interface. skin is one of the GUI interfaces available. | 22:31 |
| PropaneNightmare | How to do I get onto facebook on Gwibber? | 22:32 |
| mpalakis | it plays with -I skin too | 22:33 |
| VCoolio | unkmar: at least I don't, I use ncmpcpp | 22:33 |
| unkmar | mpalakis: http://wiki.videolan.org/Interfaces | 22:33 |

| DaveCave | everything really | 23:23 |
| tacomaster | Ryen, so do i need to put the action flag and the keybind flag or just type whats in the patebin? | 23:23 |
| DaveCave | never had VLC tell me no before | 23:23 |
| correnos | Chotaz: yeah, should support anything you throw at it | 23:23 |

| supercom32 | Is there a way to resize the Ubuntu desktop without changing the screen resolution? Ie, your trying to make black bars around your desktop? | 23:27 |
| tacomaster | Ryen, it says php and other web scripts are not allowed | 23:27 |
| tacomaster | Ryen, just use pastebin? | 23:27 |
| Ryen | tacomaster: Sure. | 23:28 |
| DaveCave | i would like to beable to play PC games on it temporarily | 23:28 |
| correnos | heh | 23:28 |
| thanis1200 | can someone type me in private message i would like toa ask something about my ubuntu desktop | 23:28 |
| tacomaster | Ryen, http://pastebin.com/qWB7B8xs | 23:28 |
| correnos | DaveCave: good luck. If you manage to do it, I'd be amazed. | 23:29 |
| VCoolio | thanis1200: better ask here; more likely to get accurate response | 23:29 |
| bcurtiswx | where do I put the new 64 bit flashplugin ? | 23:29 |
| dendrite | o/ anyone know a good link to figure out how to set a default soundcard in 10.04 (using audiophile m2496) | 23:29 |
| thanis1200 | is it software or hardware problem because my system monitor says that im running on 99-100% of CPU and im not doing anythin special at all | 23:30 |
| correnos | bcurtiswx: .mozilla/plugins | 23:30 |
| DaveCave | correnos: ha you think microsoft would atleast allow windows on it | 23:30 |
| dendrite | or at least last time what i did was set a default soundcard in /etc/environment. but i forgot the option to set that | 23:30 |
| VCoolio | thanis1200: run 'top' in a terminal and see what process is using most cpu | 23:30 |
| correnos | DaveCave: but then you'd have some measure of freedom on the console, including *gasp* open source windows programs | 23:30 |
| maco | thanis1200: i'd check that with "uptime" or "top" since the system monitor /itself/ is known to drive up cpu usage | 23:30 |
| correnos | DaveCave: and we can't have that, no no | 23:30 |
| thanis1200 | the gnome GUI | 23:31 |
| DaveCave | correnos: oh noes the world would end.... just like linux is taking over the world | 23:31 |
| maco | thanis1200: yes, the gnome gui for system monitor uses a ton of cpu so anytime you look at it, it shows the cpu being in high usage | 23:31 |
| correnos | DaveCave: seriously though, I don't think they'd ever allow windows on for the simple reason that there would be a platform for mucking with xbox system files | 23:31 |
| thanis1200 | no i mean the problem is that when i`ve installed ubuntu everything was fine but since i`ve made some updates i think i`ve messed up something bad | 23:32 |
| dendrite | or another question: does anyone know how to safely remove all pulseaudio without breaking ubuntu? | 23:32 |
| Ryen | tacomaster: See my PM. | 23:32 |
| offby1 | Is there a way to report a bug that doesn't require me to spend half an hour doing the debugging? I'd like to write three prose sentences in a web form, and be done with it. | 23:32 |
| DaveCave | correnos: dunno why, its not all that great... most xbox games are made for PC anyway ha | 23:33 |
| correnos | DaveCave:some enterprising kid in their basement figures out how to bypass copy protection on their games or something like that | 23:33 |
| offby1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs is apparently designed to discourage me from reporting a bug at all. | 23:33 |
| correnos | DaveCave: xbox probably uses ntfs anyhow | 23:33 |
| offby1 | ubuntu-bug keeps exiting, telling me to figure out the affected package, or something. | 23:33 |
| correnos | DaveCave: nice front door left wide open | 23:33 |
| webpigeon | offby1, ubuntu-bug <program name> ? | 23:33 |
| offby1 | Didn't there used to be a page where I'd describe the bug in one sentence, and it'd then do a search for existing bugs, and let me pick one if it was relevant, or else let me create a new one? | 23:33 |
| DaveCave | correnos: yea i bet it does, they tried so hard encrypting there HDDVD Ram disks and that was cracked in days lol | 23:34 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: it keeps exiting without doing aything | 23:34 |
| webpigeon | offby1, ah sorry, i was trying to find the command | 23:34 |
| correnos | DaveCave: what would be cool: a chroot-like environment where windows and xbox os could be running simultaneously | 23:34 |
| cryptic0 | what do I need to do to get my broadcom wifi working on ubuntu 10.04? Dell Inspiron 1505 | 23:34 |
| DaveCave | correnos: the 360 couldnt handle it, it is supprisingly under powered | 23:34 |
| webpigeon | offby1, and the one sentiance process you decibe i belive is ubuntu-bug | 23:35 |
| mark7845 | Conky crashes with the following error: *** glibc detected *** conky: double free or corruption. Anyone know why and what i can do to fix it? | 23:35 |
| correnos | DaveCave: I know, but on windows systems with enough power it would be good | 23:35 |
| masterx2 | sudo apt-get purge glibc* | 23:35 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: but it keeps telling me to first figure out the package. I have no idea what the relevant package is, and don't care. | 23:35 |
| offby1 | I just want to report the problem. | 23:35 |
| webpigeon | offby1, what is the program with the problem? | 23:36 |
| webpigeon | maybe i can find the package for you :) | 23:36 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: if I knew that, I'd know the package!! | 23:36 |
| === nanomachine is now known as Evoken | ||
| mark7845 | masterx2, what will that do? | 23:36 |
| offby1 | I know how to use dlocate. | 23:36 |

| === Evoken is now known as RobotCow | ||
| webpigeon | offby1, well can you decibe the issue your having? | 23:36 |
| correnos | DaveCave: enough that it could run on any x86 system? | 23:36 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: thanks. | 23:36 |
| DaveCave | correnos: i bet 1/2 at least considering its mostly a windows media computer | 23:36 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: It's very simple: every time I log in, Ubuntu plays the godawful "greeting" sound. I thought I'd disabled that in some settings panel, as well as via gconf-editor, but it keeps playing. | 23:37 |
| correnos | DaveCave: I dual boot Arch linux, Windows 7 and Xbox... wait what? | 23:37 |
| webpigeon | offby1, what about using apport-bug ? | 23:37 |
| correnos | tri-boot, but whatev | 23:37 |
| masterx2 | <mark7845> this delete glibc | 23:37 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: I'll try that. | 23:37 |
| DaveCave | correnos: lol.... be weird to try and trouble shoot windows 7 with Xbox os | 23:37 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: apport-bug appears to be identical to ubuntu-bug. I assume the latter invokes the former. | 23:37 |
| DaveCave | correnos: most def something that would end up happening | 23:38 |
| webpigeon | offby1, you can always file it against ubuntu, the bug team should then be able to tag the correct package | 23:38 |
| offby1 | webpigeon: that sounds fine. How do I go about doing that? | 23:38 |
| adamonline45 | Hello! I had a software RAID 5 array set up as /home, but I reinstalled Ubuntu (on a separate drive) and now the RAID is not usable.
