| bobstro | osmosis: administration->disk utility should do it | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | shodue: all images coming out of your camera other than RAW (or whatever extension they are using) are already processed in the camera.. RAW relies on you to post-process. As far as I know there is no conversion from say .jpg to RAW .. but there is the other way around | 01:03 |

| shodue | Scunizi, does that help at all? I can tell you the name of the program, but it's some basic script type program that a professor wrote | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | shodue: you should be able to strip all the exif and other extranious data from the pics | 01:07 |
| shodue | Scunizi, how do I do that? with a text editor? | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | shodue: I'm pretty sure that when they say you need a RAW file it's basically a .jpg with no info attached to it. A couple things come to mind.. Imagemagick might be able to do that. and digikam | 01:08 |

| Shanc | I am new to ubuntu and was wondering how the computer section works. Why don't the drives have assigned letters? How do I partition them? | 01:10 |
| shodue | Scunizi, that's exactly what it requires, raw image data w/o the header and stuff specifying file size, etc | 01:10 |
| phil_in_london | habs, try a right click on your icon in the upper left most of the screen, that gets you to menu editor, then look through the options for anything related to what you want that is NOT checked and check it. | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | shodue: and that's where the confusion lays. when you say RAW to a photographer it means something entirely different than your goal.. I'm looking now hang on. | 01:11 |
| Habs | phil_in_london: Thanks, I'll try that. | 01:11 |
| bobstro | Habs: also, right click on panel and select "add", make sure "notification area" is there. | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | shodue: yep.. imagemagick will do it. here's a link.. when you issue the command make sure you are in the directory containing the pics you want to strip.. also some cameras save .jpgs as .JPG .. caps make a diff on what the program will do | 01:13 |

| phil_in_london | habs, you should see all the programs/applications, only difference between those you see and those you don't are which ones are checked and which ones are not. | 01:16 |
| bobstro | Habs: what about preferences->network connections? does that come up? | 01:17 |
| phil_in_london | personally, I'm not a huge fan of the notification app, its a little flakey. | 01:17 |
| bobstro | Habs: it won't restore the handy icon, but you should be able to connect from there. | 01:17 |
| notworking | I have ubuntu 10.04 and a workspace switcher on the taskbar but when I go to another workspace and click on it, it doesnt go to that desktop | 01:17 |
| dreamer_ | dreamer1 | 01:17 |
| cyrus_ | Hello. | 01:17 |
| phil_in_london | notworking, do you actually have apps running on other desktops? | 01:18 |
| bobstro | Habs: is yours the only wireless in the area? do you have a hidden ssid? | 01:18 |
| Habs | Should I try removing and readding Notification Area? Preferences -> Network Connections does show up, but i don't know how to connect from there. | 01:18 |
| phil_in_london | Habs, if you have that option available to you, then definitely yes. | 01:18 |
| bobstro | Habs: probably can't hurt to remove and re-add. i just did that to test. | 01:18 |
| bobstro | Habs: what are details of your wireless setup? | 01:19 |
| notworking | phil_in_london I have the xchat on one and terminal on the other but I cant get to terminal or anyother desktop on the switcher | 01:19 |
| gnftoxic | Hey guys. Not so much of a ubuntu issue, more as package annoyance, and finding the right package. I compiled PHP (5.3.3) myself, and I'm having issues with libjpeg. Would anyone happen to know what package, or the lib directory, I would use for libjpeg? (note: I already installed libjpeg-dev) | 01:19 |
| bobstro | Habs: if you click the wireless tab, you should be able to step through it if you know the details. | 01:19 |
| Opettaja | Will my install of the Ubuntu 10.10 beta update to the release candidate if i run the update manager? | 01:19 |
| Habs | bobstro: There are 2 or three networks in my area, none of them are hidden or have any security. | 01:19 |
| phil_in_london | notworking, if you have one in one desktop and the other in the other desktop, how do you know its working or not? I'm a little confused by the reply. | 01:19 |
| seidos | Opettaja, you might to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 01:20 |
| seidos | want even | 01:20 |
| bobstro | Habs: oh... so not *your* wireless? :) if you know ssid, you should be able to connect via network connections. | 01:20 |
| Opettaja | Ty seidos | 01:20 |
| bobstro | Habs: might be worth removing and re-adding the notification area 1st | 01:21 |
| bobstro | Habs: it *did* work at one time, right? | 01:22 |
| notworking | phil_in_london Desktop switcher has by default 1 column and 4 desktop rows.. It is added to the taskbar and you can see all 4 desktops.. I have firefox open on desktop 1 with another tab to youtube. I opened terminal and moved it to desktop 2,, when I click on desktp 2 to get to the terminal, nothing happens.. but I can see the small window in the switvher showing me terminal is open.. I just cant get to it | 01:22 |
| Habs | bobstro: No, they're all my routers in my house. When I double click on the network in Network Connections, i just get to annedit screen. It workwd just yesterday. | 01:22 |
| phil_in_london | notworking, did you specifically place the terminal in a particular desktop? | 01:22 |
| Habs | Sorry for typos, on my phones touchscreen keyboard. | 01:22 |
| phil_in_london | terminal is a little different than most of the apps you're going to run. | 01:22 |
| notworking | phil_in_london Yes, terminal is on desktop 2 | 01:23 |
| phil_in_london | notworking, and yet it does not show? | 01:23 |
| Habs | bobstro: I don't see a remove button to remove Notification Area. | 01:23 |
| krabador | where is it http://static.blogo.it/ossblog/ubuntu1010rc.png | 01:24 |
| notworking | phil_in_london Yes, terminal is on desktop 2 and it only shows on the small switcher app in the taskbar.. but I cant go to that desktop 2 to use terminal | 01:24 |
| shodue | Scunizi, i don't think imagemagick did what I was trying to accomplish | 01:24 |
| bobstro | Habs: right-click on it. you might have to unlock it 1st. then remove. | 01:24 |
| lahwran | remind me - isn't there a command line program (possibly a gui too) that does something vaguely similar to pandora, in that it profiles music and attempts to guess similar music? | 01:25 |
| notworking | phil_in_london Left clicking on the desktop or workspace switcher doesn't work. I can add apps to any of the 4 desktops but cant get to them | 01:25 |
| lahwran | if anyone could remind me the name I would be grateful :) | 01:25 |
| Scunizi | shodue: why do you think that? | 01:25 |
| phil_in_london | notworking, how do you have the desktop setup? Particularily for visual effects, none, normal or extra? | 01:25 |
| notworking | phil_in_london Im not sure | 01:25 |
| bobstro | lahwran: not command line, but banshee has a plugin that is supposed to do something similar | 01:25 |
| Habs | bobstro: I don't get any right click menu when I right click "Notification Area" in the Add To Panel screen. | 01:25 |
| shodue | Scunizi, while it seems to have stripped the original file of some of that "EXIF" data. The modified image is opened in a normal image viewer. If it is truly raw, wouldn't i have to specify the file size in order for the image viewer to know how to orient it? | 01:26 |
| con-man | anyone know how to fix a broken pipe error when trying to connect Anope to ircd? | 01:26 |
| bobstro | Habs: no, sorry. in the live panel. there may be a vertical bar only showing. right-click that. if it's not there at all, just add a new one. | 01:26 |
| phil_in_london | notworking, right click the desktop, click Change Desktop Background, it will present a window with tabs at the top, click Visual Preferences, tell me what you've got set in there. | 01:26 |
| lahwran | bobstro: I swear there was a command line player tho .. argh, what was it!? | 01:27 |
| Habs | bobstro: Sorry, what's the live panel? | 01:27 |
| bobstro | Habs: the one with the clock and menu buttons | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | shodue: good question.. I don't know how that part works .. are these .jpgs you're working on? | 01:28 |
| notworking | phil_in_london Thanks my friend.. I got it with your help | 01:28 |

| dominicdinada | All of a sudden my Vbox wont start i have not used it in a week or so but trying to get it to start nothing happens, i removed it all via ubuntu software center, reinstalled the packages with vboxgtk and made sure my user had permissions and still nothing | 01:31 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: kernel-update in that week? | 01:31 |

| KillerKristin1 | what is the Ubuntu Non Support Channel? I forgot sorry | 01:32 |
| shodue | Scunizi, i will try that | 01:32 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: i do believe so. Even ran aptitude update/upgrade to check all items and nothing else updates | 01:32 |
| mushroomblue | I do not consent to the terms. | 01:32 |
| iceroot | !ot | KillerKristin1 | 01:32 |
| ubottu | KillerKristin1: #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! | 01:32 |
| Habs | bobstro: Alright. So I removed and readded the notification area, but all I get is my printer icon. | 01:32 |
| KillerKristin1 | thx iceroot | 01:32 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: vbox needed to build some moduls for the current kernel | 01:32 |
| FoolishOwl | Where are the settings for gnome-appearance-properties stored? I want to reset them to defaults. | 01:32 |
| bobstro | Habs: if you open a terminal and do 'ifconfig -a', does your wireless interface show up? | 01:33 |
| lahwran | will banshee rearrange my music collection? | 01:33 |
| krabador | where is it http://static.blogo.it/ossblog/ubuntu1010rc.png on maverick? | 01:33 |
| bobstro | lahwran: it can | 01:33 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: so let me get this right. opensource updates = no devels on the same page so everytime i update something else is going to break ? | 01:33 |
| iceroot | krabador: #ubuntu+1 | 01:33 |
| KillerKristin1 | I wonder if this is a support question or not? Is there a way to setup something similar to Active Directory on Ubuntu Server?? | 01:33 |
| joe_ed | :q! | 01:33 |
| Zearth | If I forward port 3306 and web(80) should a basic Ubuntu server installation have any problems serving a MySQL DB out to the net? | 01:33 |
| Zearth | is there some "duh!" that I missed? | 01:34 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: no, normally if you update the kernel, the vbox-kernel-moduls are also updated trough apt-get | 01:34 |
| lahwran | bobstro: how do I make sure it won't? | 01:34 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: this is about the 5th update in the recent month that has broken packages | 01:34 |
| sam555 | hello all! | 01:34 |
| iceroot | KillerKristin1: samba4 has AD-support, else you want samba3 + ldap | 01:34 |
| jinxzs | how to set gigolo to access shared documents in windows | 01:35 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: removing older libs because one package needs new libs but others dont | 01:35 |
| sam555 | how does one remote desktop into Ubuntu 9.04 when both users are logged out? | 01:35 |
| Zearth | ssh? | 01:35 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: its only a guess that the kernel-moduls are incorrect | 01:35 |
| jrib | sam555: did you install openssh-server? | 01:35 |
| Zearth | oh remote desktop nm | 01:35 |
| Zearth | vnc server? | 01:35 |
| Habs | bobstro: I get no interface, but I get a long list of stats. I wish I could paste them in here but I'm on my phone. They're broken up into eth0, lo, pan0, vboxnet0, and wlan0. | 01:35 |
| redblacktree | I am trying to configure a headless server, that I can make a remote desktop connection to. I can connect to the server with VNC, as long as I have a monitor plugged in, but if I boot without a monitor, I cannot connect. (the connection is refused) | 01:35 |
| bobstro | lahwran: there is an option to turn it on. | 01:35 |
| sam555 | jrib: no, i just used the remote desktop option | 01:35 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: i have the newest vbox from the website but have not installed yet :/ | 01:35 |
| lahwran | bobstro: where...? | 01:35 |
| bobstro | Habs: ok, wlan0 is a good sign. | 01:35 |
| jrib | sam555: you want vnc? | 01:35 |
| Zearth | why not just learn command line and use ssh? | 01:36 |
| Zearth | via putty | 01:36 |
| sam555 | Zearth: I use tightvnc to remote into Ubuntu which works fine when the user is signed in, but not when it's the log in screen | 01:36 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, you shouldn't need to forward 3306, unless you have some kind of funky setup going on there. | 01:36 |
| jrib | !vnc | sam555 | 01:36 |
| ubottu | sam555: 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 | 01:36 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: the vbox from the website is not managed by ubuntu | 01:36 |
| bobstro | lahwran: edit->preferences->general->update file and folder names | 01:36 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: only the free-version is managed by ubuntu and delievering always the correct kernel-moduls | 01:36 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: so in otherwords the package is "BROKEN" until further notice eh ? | 01:36 |
| lahwran | bobstro: oh goodie it's off :D | 01:36 |
| Zearth | Phil, so dont forward 3306 at therouter? | 01:36 |
| bobstro | lahwran: that will re-arrange files based on metadata in the files | 01:36 |
| Zearth | it can all go over 80? | 01:37 |
| bobstro | lahwran: yeah, i got bit once :) | 01:37 |
| redblacktree | jrib, Zearth: This is a home media server, so I want to use VNC so it's friendly for my wife, and so that we can run pandora and the like through web browsers | 01:37 |
| sam555 | jrib: I am using tightvnc right now, its just that the user needs to be signed in | 01:37 |
| Zearth | oh. ok redblack... I ended up using PS3 for that function | 01:37 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: at boot you should get a error-message telling you something about vbox-kernel-moduls. check if there are errors | 01:37 |
| redblacktree | Zearth: do you play pandora through your ps3? | 01:37 |
| jrib | sam555: that web page should offer you options | 01:37 |
| sam555 | jrib: ok, thanks! | 01:37 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, I manage mysql databases all the time, I've never had a need to do any forwarding for its port yet. Unless of course you've "laid down the law" on your router and nothing gets out unless permitted. | 01:38 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: good thing i got a mac, and doze backup on when these packages fail :( | 01:38 |
| Habs | bobstro: Should I give you the stats in wlan0? It will take a while to type. | 01:38 |
| bobstro | Habs: if wlan0 is showing up, you should be able to connect to an open network via the network connections if you know the ssid. | 01:38 |
| bobstro | Habs: no, it being there is a good sign. the interface is present. | 01:38 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: its never a good idea to have a mac (or apple-products) but having a backup is always a good idea :) | 01:38 |
| Zearth | well I thought it was either router problem or mysql server prob... can access the DB fine over LAN, just not outside | 01:38 |
| bobstro | Habs: it sounds like network manager applet isn't showing but it may appear once we get you connected. | 01:38 |
| jinxzs | anyone how to file share xubuntu-windows | 01:38 |
| Zearth | redblack, cant you use the browser in PS3 for that? | 01:39 |
| eiwoq | iceroot, envy is bad | 01:39 |
| iceroot | jinxzs: samba | 01:39 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: i guess it is good to have alternative when things over this way break is my point | 01:39 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, the only time you should need to manage 3306 is if the database is on your system "behind" the router, then by all means you will have to point 3306 to the box that has the mysql server. But if you are just trying to use a mysql client to get out, then not necessary. | 01:39 |
| FoolishOwl | How can I reset gnome-appearance-properties to its defaults? | 01:39 |
| Habs | The SSID of the network I want to connect to is Home AP. Is there any way to connect to it through the terminal? | 01:39 |
| redblacktree | Zearth: it hasn't worked for me. That browser (machine?) is really slow | 01:39 |
| jinxzs | yea i did install but i dont know what to do from there. | 01:39 |
| bobstro | Habs: read man page on iwconfig. | 01:39 |
| Zearth | redblack, there is a modification you can make on the PS to make inet traffic faster | 01:39 |
| redblacktree | Zearth: plus, I'd like to control it from my laptop, and not have to turn on the PS3, grab a controller, etc. | 01:39 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: brb checking the package failures @ bootup | 01:39 |
| Zearth | yeah I see | 01:39 |
| bobstro | Habs: so yes, it can be done, at least for an open or WEP setup. | 01:39 |
| bobstro | Habs: more difficult with WPA | 01:40 |
| iceroot | dominicdinada: starting vbox from terminal will also tel you the errors | 01:40 |
| Habs | bobstro: Ok. I'll read it now. | 01:40 |
| redblacktree | Zearth: that's interesting about faster internet on the PS3, I'll check that out | 01:40 |
| Zearth | ok Phil, yeah it is behind the router, and I need to access from the interwebs | 01:40 |
| bobstro | Habs: it's something like 'iwconfig wlan0 ssid "Your SSID" etc. | 01:40 |
| redblacktree | so... can anyone help me get my headless server to be connectable from VNC? | 01:40 |
| bobstro | Habs: read up on the scan option. that may help find one you can connect to. | 01:41 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, then yep, point 3306 to the machine with the mysql server. | 01:41 |
| redblacktree | after doing some googling, I ended up creating an xorg.conf file, but it doesn't seem to help | 01:41 |
| Zearth | ok I did, but I still get my 'or die' message | 01:41 |
| Zearth | hmmm | 01:41 |
| bobstro | Habs: you're a montreal fan? | 01:41 |
| redblacktree | again, with the xorg.conf, it works with the monitor plugged in, but not without. | 01:41 |
| OkThen | so... can anyone help me install drivers from the flash drive i used to install ubuntu? | 01:41 |
| cyrus_ | Is there anything more to compiling with G++ than just typing in "g++ filename"? | 01:41 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, have you added the "outside" user to your mysql user list and allowed that user to be "anywhere" ? This sounds like a user management issue to me. | 01:42 |
| Habs | bobstro: No, actually I made up this alias several years ago when I didn't even know who the Habs were, and it stuck :P | 01:42 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, I'd do some reading on users rights, any user is allowed access based on assigned priviledges, but also based on where they are coming from. | 01:43 |
| jinxzs | done install samba and smbfs what else i do to see and access file shared by windows? | 01:43 |
| phil_in_london | Zearth, find the user in your mysql database, and pump a bunch of * into its record, kind of like an irc ident record. | 01:43 |
| isaac | Question: I have a Fujitsu laptop, a6025. When I move the screen (at all) relative to the keyboard the image flips out, like a video cable is loose. When I do this it also causes any Linux I have tried so far (a lot) to either freeze up or reboot the computer instantly. | 01:43 |
| Andre_Gondim | is it possible to do cp -r /folder, but I don't want one of all folder | 01:44 |
| isaac | The question is, can a loose video cable cause Linux to flip out? | 01:44 |
| Pentium3 | Is there an easy way to set up my IR port and use it to recieve commands from a remote control to control Rhythmbox? My IR port is made by SMC. | 01:44 |
| iceroot | Andre_Gondim: imo cp dont have include, so you have to use cp with find | 01:46 |
| iceroot | Andre_Gondim: exclude | 01:46 |
| Habs | bobstro: The word "scan" isn't even in the man page for iwconfig. | 01:46 |
| redblacktree | oh, also, if I boot with monitor unplugged, and then plug the monitor in, it does not display anything | 01:47 |
| === murderertoy_ is now known as murderertoy | ||

| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: don't use vnc for headless server use something like nomachine, freenx or x2go, they don't need a monitor plugged in to start the x-session | 01:48 |
| demonspork | what is a good network usage monitor for Ubuntu? I would love if there was a good one that could keep daily/weekly/monthly usage stats as well as a live load monitor - even better if auto generates the report in HTML or something | 01:49 |
| demonspork | Say CLI only | 01:49 |
| isaac | So a working monitor IS required for Ubuntu to boot normal desktop properly? | 01:50 |
| dominicdinada | iceroot: nothing showing up so far as errors | 01:50 |
| bobstro | Habs: hmm.. it's been awhile since i used iwconfig, sorry. try just 'iwconfig wlan0 ap any' | 01:51 |
| bobstro | Habs: then do just 'iwconfig' and see if it shows as associated. | 01:51 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: that may be the best advice I've gotten yet | 01:51 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: will check it out | 01:51 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: do you have a favorite of the three? | 01:51 |
| bobstro | Habs: try 'iwlist wlan0 scan' | 01:52 |
| Habs | bobstro: Thanks a lot, it worked! | 01:52 |
| tovella | isaac: i would call that a hardware error more than anything else. | 01:52 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: also, why don't I see a console if I boot without monitor, and subsequently plug a monitor in? | 01:52 |
| bobstro | Habs: you're on? | 01:52 |
| bobstro | Habs: does applet show now? | 01:52 |
| jjgalvez__ | I've used nomachine, the free version allows two users to connect, and I am currently using x2go. I really like x2go, it feels really fast and so for I've not had any issues with it | 01:52 |
| Habs | bobstro: I can connect, but still no applet :( | 01:53 |
| bobstro | Habs: ok, well you're halfway there. did you get an ip address etc? | 01:53 |
| glaucous | How do I disable gnome-search-tool from indexing my files? | 01:53 |
| bobstro | Habs: google around for missing network manager in ubuntu. i think i've seen help on that. | 01:53 |
| phil_in_london | issac, unless you have another computer that you can either telnet to or ssh to it from. | 01:54 |
| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: have you tried switching tty screens after you've plugged the monitor in? try ctrl-alt-F1 and see if that brings up a screen | 01:54 |
| iConstruct | hello everyone | 01:56 |
| Polopanos | I unsuccessfully tried to get unbutu to send audio over HDMI on my nvidia video-card based laptop. Now I seem to have killed all sound output. It worked by default. How can I set everything back to what it was before? | 01:56 |
| phil_in_london | habs, go to the top of your screen, somewhere in the middle where no icons are, then right click, select Add to Panel. Add anything about Network or Notification. | 01:56 |
| Polopanos | nothing is muted in alsamixer | 01:56 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: that doesn't cause the console to appear, unfortunately. I was hopeful. :) I am going to try to connect via ssh | 01:57 |
| Polopanos | volume control shows that audio is being played with its equalizer, and I've tried all output sinks | 01:57 |
| dominicdinada | what the heck nothing on shutdown about vbox, nothing on bootup in any of the logs that suggest errors starting virtualbox daemon but the DANG thing wont run | 01:57 |
| iConstruct | i have a fairly noob question about sources.list. How come there is no 'deb' line added in sources.list for programs like picasa, openoffice etc? Is it because it's supported by ubuntu team? | 01:57 |
| === kai_62656 is now known as kracker[BDC] | ||
| Habs | phil_in_london: The only thing related to network or notification is the Notification Area, which is already added. | 01:57 |
| phil_in_london | habs, remove it, then go back and add it again. | 01:58 |
| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: interesting let me know if ssh works, it should work | 01:58 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: yeah, it didn't. Now, I'm wondering if It's booting at all | 01:58 |

| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: if ssh is not working, then yes I would think that something else is going in and your not booting up at all | 01:59 |
| navetz | i created this file in /etc/apache2/sites-avaliable : http://pastebin.com/ranbhfvV | 02:00 |
| Habs | phil_in_london: Already did that a while ago. The only thing that gets changed when i remove it is my printer icon and the three little lines, which come right back after i re-add it. | 02:00 |
| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: if your not hearing any "beeps" when it boots I would not think its a bios or hardware issue | 02:00 |
| navetz | it seems to be loading the site but when I go to the servername in my web broswer it crashes | 02:00 |
| iConstruct | i have a fairly noob question about sources.list. How come there is no 'deb' line added in sources.list for programs like picasa, openoffice etc? Is it because it's supported by ubuntu team? | 02:00 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: just looking at hard drive lights and such, it seems to do *something* | 02:00 |
| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: I think your going to have to plug in a monitor just to see it boot | 02:00 |
| phil_in_london | Habs, nothing that says NetworkManager Applet? | 02:01 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: yeah, I've got a monitor I can plug in | 02:01 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: and it does boot when I plug it in | 02:01 |
| jjgalvez__ | redblacktree: I've had drives that looked like they were doing stuff and in the end they had failed! | 02:01 |

| iConstruct | jjgalvez: So none of the restricted, universe, multiverse software installations automatically add it to sources.list correct? Just to confirm | 02:05 |
| redblacktree | jjgalvez__: no problem. The good thing about this situation is that if I FUBAR it, I don't care. I haven't done anything with the machine besides install Ubuntu and try to get a remote desktop to work. | 02:05 |

| Braber01 | um is it worth it to learn TC shell , the TC shell has a more familler syntax, however I know bash and am confortable with it | 02:06 |

| phil_in_london | habs, did you already have a network connections icon before? | 02:08 |
| phil_in_london | habs, is this wireless you're trying to connect with, sorry, wasn't paying really good attention earlier. | 02:08 |
| jjgalvez__ | iConstruct: I can see you and I've not using anything special to connect | 02:08 |

| sam555 | my situation: I'm using vpn to remote desktop from a client using winxp and remote into an ubuntu 9.04 desktop using tight vnc | 02:10 |
| Habs | phil_in_london: I am connecting to wireless, and no, I didn't have a network connections icon before, but it doesn't help much that I have one now because i cant connect to a network through it and I can access it from System -> Preferences. | 02:10 |
| sam555 | so everything works IF the user is signed in | 02:11 |
| phil_in_london | habs, use synaptec and install wicd | 02:11 |
| joe_ed | hi, i use ":g/\r/s\r//" to remove those pesky carriage returns. Is there an ubuntu command line equivalent for bash? | 02:11 |
| sam555 | however, when the ubuntu desktop that i'm remoting into just has the log in screen, i cannot remote in | 02:11 |
| sam555 | i was told to use openssh and I installed openssh server | 02:11 |

| Habs | phil_in_london: "Home AP". | 02:16 |

| chrysanthemum | How can I get grep to return a substring of a line? | 02:17 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: try sed | 02:17 |

| phil_in_london | habs, nic not nick, (N)etwork (I)nterface (C)ard. | 02:18 |
| phil_in_london | habs, generally, you can manage your wireless through the regular network manager, so, I have to assume that your particular nic requires some kind of driver. Is it onboard, built-in kind of deal? Laptop? | 02:18 |
| Habs | phil_in_london: So wcid seems to work. Still not getting the top icon though. I don't know my nic, but I know I was able to connect to this network a few days ago on Ubuntu. | 02:19 |
| Habs | On this very same laptop. | 02:19 |
| phil_in_london | Habs, okay, so, wicd can see it , so its a piece of hardware familiar to ubuntu, now we just gotta figure out how to get it back into the notification bar. | 02:20 |
| phil_in_london | habs, what other icons are currently in your notification bar? | 02:20 |
| phil_in_london | habs, one other thing, no more indistriminate deleting eh? | 02:20 |
| RxDx | i have a core2duo, should i install the amd64 version of ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| chrysanthemum | redblacktree: So lets say i have a string "--name [some name]" how can sed return [some name]? | 02:20 |
| kellnola | RxDx, yes of course | 02:21 |
| phil_in_london | grep -o "--...." | 02:21 |
| RxDx | kellnola, amd64 supports the intel archteture? | 02:21 |
| Habs | phil_in_london: Printer, time, Bluetooth, sound, messages, my user, and the shutoff controls. | 02:21 |
| Habs | I don't remember deleting anything. | 02:21 |
| kellnola | RxDx, they just say "AMD64" - it's all the same thing | 02:21 |
| phil_in_london | habs, wow! thats a busy notification panel. | 02:21 |
| RxDx | will flash run with no problems? | 02:21 |
| RxDx | and java too | 02:21 |
| kellnola | RxDx, yes, none at all | 02:22 |
| RxDx | ok :) thanks dude | 02:22 |
| kellnola | RxDx, both, yes | 02:22 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: try sed s/--name // | 02:22 |
| * crack05 is away (Gone) | 02:22 | |
| === crack05 is now known as CRACK05 | ||
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: that should work as long as you're not expecting the string "--name " in a name :) | 02:22 |
| chrysanthemum | redblacktree: I see what your doing there... But let's assume that the line is filled with other text before and after that, that can change | 02:23 |
| bastidrazor | ubottu: tell CRACK05 about away | 02:23 |
| ubottu | CRACK05, please see my private message | 02:23 |
| kellnola | RxDx, flash and java are in the repository already, just search for them after you install | 02:23 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: the portion of the command between slashes is a regular expression | 02:23 |
| phil_in_london | habs, you do have a network connections icon in your notification area right? and if so, if you right click it and click edit connections, do you have a Wireless tab? | 02:24 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: so, you're replacing whatever matches the regex on the left, with the string on the right. e.g. /myregex/myreplacement/ | 02:24 |
| chrysanthemum | redblacktree: Yes, im familiar with it from vim... Though never knew i was doing sed | 02:24 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: you were doing regular expressions, not sed | 02:25 |
| chrysanthemum | Right.... | 02:25 |
| chrysanthemum | So let's say the line is "some info some thing that can change --name [some name] some more stuff that can change" | 02:26 |
| Habs | phil_in_london: When I right click it i just see launch, properties, remove from panel, etc. | 02:26 |
| chrysanthemum | Im still not grasping how to get [some name] | 02:26 |
| phil_in_london | is [some name] a fixed length? | 02:26 |
| chrysanthemum | .. /.*--name// wouldn't work because the stuff after it is still there | 02:27 |
| chrysanthemum | phil_in_london: No... | 02:27 |
| saurabh | can someone help me out with default boot loader? i am newbie | 02:28 |
| phil_in_london | but the possibility that [ or ] may exist in the prefix or suffix is true right? | 02:28 |
| chrysanthemum | Lets assume they cant | 02:28 |
| chrysanthemum | Some name doesnt actually have [ or ] around it... Just spaces | 02:29 |
| phil_in_london | but then what would be the parameters for the extraction of the subscing. | 02:29 |
| phil_in_london | oh | 02:29 |
| phil_in_london | ok | 02:29 |
| chrysanthemum | But i know its always one word, thst folloes --name | 02:29 |
| chrysanthemum | A-z | 02:29 |
| phil_in_london | I'd grep for x characters, x being something larger than you'd ever expect and then search the string for a space and rip the left side off. | 02:29 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: try: sed s/.*?--name [\(.*?\)].*/\1/ | 02:29 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: I'm not sure if that's the proper way to make the .* lazy instead of greedy | 02:30 |
| redblacktree | chrysanthemum: so no guarantees.. | 02:30 |
| phil_in_london | or grep "--name ........................................................" and then mangle the string for the left side up until the space. | 02:30 |
| redblacktree | but what we're doing there is creating a group with the (escaped) parentheses, and then referencing the group with \1 | 02:30 |
| saurabh | irc.geekshed.net | 02:31 |

| Drik | how to do it? | 02:35 |
| TeslaTony | scribawf: You could install it via synaptic, or apt in the command line | 02:35 |
| scribawf | TelsaTony; when I get an update of kernal it just wont install but how to do it via apt-get? | 02:36 |
| kellnola | scribawf, huh? just do your regular updates and you will get the new kernels. Unless, you need some special one for some reason | 02:37 |
| TeslaTony | scribawf: Normally "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo apt-get install (whichever kernel it is you want)" | 02:37 |
| scribawf | TeslaTony; OK think that's the direction I want to go, TNX for the guidance | 02:38 |
| TeslaTony | scribawf: If it doesn't work, darken our doorstep again until it does | 02:39 |
| Drik | i have uberstudent cicero 1.0 installed as second system with windows 7. i need to start is as default selection from the grub boot loader menu. | 02:39 |

| ramon | hi all. im having trouble connecting to an AP with hidden SSID. Ubuntu just won't connect at all. I know its not a prolem with the AP or my hardware, because i get no problems with this when in Windows. | 02:51 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: on now its making sense, do you not have a wired connection? sometimes you have to use a wired connection to get things started, like downloading wireless drivers, which I don't think would be on the CD anyway | 02:51 |
| TeslaTony | scribawf: OK. So an older version. the latest kernel might not have been released for it. | 02:52 |
| OkThen | I have no wired connection, but I have a flash drive and I could use it to transfer drivers from windows to ubuntu | 02:52 |
| ramon | ive already downlaoded drivers and everything. it works fine with a BSSID. but not with hidden SSID | 02:52 |
| chrysanthemum | Ok... So here's another one... I now have a name.. And i want to cat a file that is name.txt ... | 02:52 |
| scribawf | TeslaTony: do you recommend to upgrade to 10.04, but a little nervous about that as had an instance on a machine and lost alot | 02:53 |
| jigar | hi everybody. I am still waiting for help on my /etc/event.d missing thing | 02:53 |
| chrysanthemum | How can I get echo "name" | ??? equivalent to cat name.txt | 02:53 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: ok then you are going to have to find the deb file for the driver you need and install that directly using dpkg | 02:53 |
| OkThen | i found the file | 02:54 |
| OkThen | but when i try to extract it it looks for it on the cd | 02:54 |
| phil_in_london | jigar, never heard of /etc/event.d perhaps you're talking about trapping events that plugging devices in cause? | 02:54 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: is is a deb? | 02:54 |
| TeslaTony | scribawf: If your current setup is working OK, I'd say just leave it be. If you have an external hard drive and can back everything up, going to 10.04 might not be bad | 02:54 |
| OkThen | when i press the 'extract' on the file in the flash drive, it looks for the file on the cd | 02:54 |
| OkThen | umm | 02:54 |
| OkThen | im not sure but i dont think so | 02:54 |
| ramon | anyone know how to get hidden SSIDs working? | 02:54 |
| rww | chrysanthemum: cat $(echo "name").txt | 02:54 |
| scribawf | TelsaTony: yup exactly my thoughts as well and indeed have an external HD to to that with or even using Clonezilla | 02:55 |
| chrysanthemum | rww: perfect thanks | 02:55 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: thats odd what exactly did you download? are you trying to use a linux driver or a windows driver? | 02:56 |

| OkThen | i didnt download anything but the original 10.04 netbook. I'm extracting the linux driver for my computer's wireless, but even off of the flash drive it keeps looking for the cd | 02:57 |
| === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke | ||
| Drik | grubcfg is read only in gedit, how to make it read-write access? | 02:58 |
| dlorag | OkThen: what wireless you using? | 02:58 |
| Drik | grub.cfg* | 02:58 |
| TeslaTony | scribawf: Something you might also try is double checking what kernels are available via synaptic. If you can't find it, you aren't going to update to it | 02:58 |
| dlorag | Drik: do sudo su then enter pass and edit it (I'd recommend nano though so it doesn't leave config files laying about) | 02:59 |
| Sterist | hellos, i just had my update manager tell me i have a broken package in the system, and to use "broken filter" to locate it. where do i find this "broken filter"? | 02:59 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: where are you extracting it from? the only thing on the install are all debs | 02:59 |
| OkThen | dell wireless 1390 | 02:59 |
| dlorag | Sterist: its in synaptic run that and under the options you will see fix broken | 02:59 |
| OkThen | Im extracting it from the 10.04 install flashdrive | 03:00 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: or rather how are you trying to install the wireless driver? | 03:00 |
| OkThen | by clicking on the package and pressing extract | 03:00 |
| Sterist | dlorag is it a simple process? | 03:00 |
| dlorag | OkThen: if you do lspci and find the line refering to your wireless would be more helpful and if its a usb plugin one try lsusb | 03:00 |
| OkThen | lspci? lsusb? | 03:01 |
| phil_in_london | list pci devices, list usb devices | 03:01 |
| dlorag | Sterist: very simple sudo su makes you root so you can edit system files then nano is a command line text editor you just arrowkey around editing stuff then ctrl + x when done to save. I assume your trying to add other systems to grub? | 03:01 |
| seidos | OkThen, terminal commands. | 03:01 |
| jjgalvez__ | OkThen: you don't hit extract it should install if you just double click it | 03:01 |
| OkThen | whenever i do it tries to find the install cd | 03:02 |
| OkThen | oh well I guess ill try again | 03:02 |
| jewalot | My rectum has fallen out. :( | 03:02 |
| phil_in_london | ha! | 03:02 |
| jjgalvez__ | jewalot: sorry to hear that | 03:02 |
| dlorag | jjgalvez__: did you tell him to autorun some wireless install cd?? | 03:02 |
| Sterist | dlorag i think you mixed me up with someone else.. i'm just trying to find and fix / remove whatever is broken | 03:02 |
| OkThen | thank you for helping <3 | 03:03 |
| jjgalvez__ | dlorag: nope, I've been trying to figure out what he has been doing to try to install this driver | 03:03 |
| dlorag | sterist: oh lol I'm sorry I thought you were drik yeah fix broken packages with synaptic | 03:03 |
| sam555 | is remote desktop tightvnc? | 03:03 |
| ramon | why can't ubuntu connect to hidden SSIDs, even though the feature seems almsot advertised. | 03:04 |
| sam555 | or do I have to install tightvnc? | 03:04 |
| dlorag | sterist: when your done selecting that option hit apply and it should work if not there a few other commands but most likely won't need those | 03:04 |
| Sterist | dlorag i checked the broken filter and nothing changes, even after reloading | 03:04 |

| dlorag | jjgalvez__: I know it sounds quite amazing hopefully he will write a post on his epic journey and all but seriously if we just new what wireless card he was using its probably already there in the system somewhere | 03:05 |

| dlorag | Drik: you know about root right? sudo su lets you access those privileges you can edit the system config files with nano go ahead and poke around the # in files means that option is blocked but you can remove those to enable things | 03:07 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, and you're setting the same kind of security layer as well? | 03:07 |
| Beiruty | any solution or should I wait the release? | 03:07 |
| matias | Hi guys | 03:07 |

| phil_in_london | ramon, you don't have mac filtering on the router do you? | 03:09 |
| ramon | no | 03:09 |
| x0rs_ha | If I do a search using aptitude and there is a capital A before the name of the package, does that mean it's already installed? | 03:09 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: "A" means that it's automatically installed as a dependency of some other package. "i" is the generic indicator for installed. | 03:10 |
| Drik | dlorag: i just did it by opening as "open as administartor", thanx for help | 03:10 |
| ramon | it wouldnt have anything to do with mac filtering. because running Win XP on the same laptop, it works fine and without problems. | 03:11 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, sorry, wasn't aware it was same system with dual boot, just trying to rule out options. | 03:11 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: the package i was looking at is build-essential, I heard it is a prerequisite if I want to compile programs with success... Anyone know what I need to do to install it? aptitude install doesn't work | 03:11 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: "sudo aptitude install build-essential" doesn't work? | 03:12 |
| dlorag | Drik: no prob when you do open as administrator the system runs gksudo to give you a visual authentication box to gain necessary privs | 03:12 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: nope | 03:12 |
| ramon | phil, its okay. im grateful you're trying to help. | 03:12 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: since it has an A on it, i'm thinking i am suppose to install something else to get it | 03:12 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: which error do you get? | 03:12 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: does it have an "i" next to that "A"? | 03:12 |
| x0rs_ha | no i | 03:13 |
| Beiruty | does upgrade to a wubi 10.04 work? | 03:13 |
| x0rs_ha | and no error, just says 0 packages to install and 0 installed | 03:13 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, if you change the router to broadcast its ssid, and create your connection, then change the router to hide it, does that make a difference? | 03:13 |
| infid | what's the 'daemon' user for in /etc/passwd? | 03:14 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: run "apt-cache policy build-essential", copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, link the page it creates here. | 03:14 |
| x0rs_ha | ok | 03:14 |
| ramon | i dont have permission to change router settings. it's a workplace network that im trying to connect to. | 03:14 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, is security wpa2 ? | 03:16 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: i;m sorry I see it now, says "build-essential is already newest version" and the output of that last file says it is installed | 03:16 |
| ramon | no. its wep | 03:16 |
| jjgalvez__ | By all have a good nite | 03:16 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: not sure why there is no i when I search it | 03:16 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: me either. but hey, problem solved. | 03:17 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, wep or dynamic wep? | 03:17 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: yep, thanks so much for the help | 03:17 |
| Beiruty | I am getting this error: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 03:17 |
| ramon | idk. all i have is an SSID and a key. | 03:18 |
| ramon | this is the first im hearing about dynamic wep, though | 03:18 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, there are wep 40/128, dynamic, and its variants on wep2 | 03:18 |
| phil_in_london | windows is very limited in its security layer, I'd have to assume its at best doing wep 128 | 03:18 |
| renedox | BinaryDigits: oh hai | 03:19 |
| renedox | :P | 03:19 |
| SuperMiguel | any of you guys running obuntu on a macbook pro? | 03:19 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, have you tried each of the security options available to you in ubuntu? | 03:19 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, keep the ssid, keep the wep, but check the security options, there are about 6 different versions of wep you can try. | 03:19 |
| dlorag | SuperMiguel: what is obuntu | 03:19 |
| SuperMiguel | ubuntu* | 03:20 |
| ramon | alright ill try those. the key is 10 characters long, if that helps | 03:20 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, my bet, its its wp2 enterprise, which will require you to also know if its TLS, LEAP, Tunneled TLS or Protected EAP. | 03:21 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, best bet, check all the parameters of the XP setup, it may not show them all, but get every bit you can out of the security settings there and match them as best you can. Alternatively it should only take you about 10 mins to run through all the possibilities with the Ubuntu settings. | 03:22 |
| x0rs_ha | should I upgrade my 10.04 to 10.10? or should I wait for official release? | 03:22 |
| rww | x0rs_ha: you should wait | 03:22 |
| x0rs_ha | rww: ok thanks | 03:22 |
| iConstruct | a little bit of help. I"m getting this error when running apt-get update | 03:23 |
| ramon | thanks phil. ill try that tomorrow, as im not in the vicinity of the AP to even test that. but why doesnt Ubuntu configure all that automatically, like in Windows? | 03:23 |
| iConstruct | Err http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/multiverse Translation-en_CA | 03:24 |
| iConstruct | for some reason it's not connecting | 03:24 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, it can't, there are many parameters that are set by the system administrator of your network. Its not a guessing kind of thing, as security shouldn't be. | 03:24 |
| iConstruct | and this translation-en_ca what the heck is this? | 03:24 |
| ramon | i guess you're right. Thanks again, Phil. | 03:25 |
| phil_in_london | ramon, just have a look through all the security settings on ubuntu, get a little familiar with it, and if you actually know the sys-admin ask them what they are using. | 03:25 |
| ramon | good night | 03:25 |
| phil_in_london | ciao | 03:25 |
| dlorag | ramon: sudo su then nano /etc/network/interfaces and put http://pastebin.com/XBQ2VjB5 | 03:25 |
| dlorag | ramon: then just do ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 for it to load proper dhcp info from router | 03:25 |
| ramon | the terminal is a scary place for a beginner like myself. but im tired. goodnight | 03:26 |
| dlorag | ramon: networkmanager is crap really I never bother with it, its just a frontend for that one config file and /etc/resolv.conf | 03:27 |
| iConstruct | anyone know how to register my nick name? | 03:32 |
| rww | ubottu: tell iConstruct about register | 03:32 |

| rusivi | phil_in_london: I'm interested as to why you may not like Windows, can you please mention what you do not like? | 03:45 |
| corinth | I'm running into trouble with a program on a CD - not being able to save "execute" permissions | 03:45 |
| dlorag | corinth: not a clue but if you do chmod +x on it then it will have executable permission | 03:45 |
| corinth | dlorag, see above | 03:45 |
| dlorag | corinth: some way to mount it with executable permissions then? | 03:45 |
| corinth | guess so, yeah | 03:45 |
| trj021782 | so is there anyone out there that can lend me a hand with compiling | 03:46 |
| phil_in_london | rusivi, I've been involved with every version since 1.0, and yes, there was a 1.0, it just didn't live long. I've watched the bloat get bigger. I spent an hour tonight downloading a 203mb file for my niece so that I could install a 1mb file contained within it that allowed her to print to an HP printer. I think thats completely out of control. | 03:46 |
| v12extremex | Hmm, ive read through various fourms and cnt find the problem. Different ones have told me to do different things. Ive deleaded the files associated and reinstalled. Whatever was in the update that i done seems to have caused this because it was working before in updated | 03:46 |
| phil_in_london | trj what are you compiling? | 03:46 |
| trj021782 | xorhack 2.0 | 03:46 |
| dlorag | corinth: what does mount -l say in regards to that device? | 03:47 |
| === Helmont is now known as Vash | ||

| phil_in_london | v12, if you're not too queasy about doing the install in manual mode, I'd suggest creating the partition yourself to ensure that the previous install is gone. Perhaps windows 7 has a disk manager facility that will allow you to do the same. But what it sounds like is that you have bits left over from the previous version. | 03:47 |
| phil_in_london | trj and this xorhack is it for x86 i686 arm mips ??? | 03:48 |
| rusivi | phil_in_london: Thank you for sharing this experience. Just wanted to mention I have an HP OfficeJet 5610v All-in-One and it has been auto-print/scan to paper/file since Ubuntu 9.10 (currently on 10.10 for beta testing). | 03:48 |

| dlorag | corinth: man I am really old school no clue about this I would just umount /dev/sr0 and mkdir a directory then mount /dev/sr0 directory that auto mount with hal has some trippy settings I suppose | 03:49 |
| v12extremex | Yes must be and ive ran a defrag, registry scan, and deleted all that i could. Ima try to create a new partition, i never have so i dnt exactly know how but let me mess with it and see | 03:49 |
| phil_in_london | rusivi, and I bet the install for it took minutes at the most right? my Photosmart C4250 took 1 1/2 minutes on Ubuntu, as I said earlier, 203mb and an hour later for Windows. | 03:49 |
| scgtrp | i installed kernel 2.6.35 from a PPA yesterday but now i can't get the corresponding headers because "linux-headers-2.6.35-13-generic: Depends: linux-headers-2.6.35-13 but it is not installable" - anyone know how to get around this? | 03:50 |
| phil_in_london | v12, in your control panel there is an administrator, disk managment, something to that effect that lets you manage partitions. see if you can find that. | 03:50 |
| v12extremex | lol im already on that | 03:50 |
| phil_in_london | v12, if you can find that, blow the f***er away | 03:50 |
| v12extremex | i right clicked on my hard and clicked shrink, but i dnt think that was right | 03:51 |
| phil_in_london | nah, thats the first thing that Ubuntu is going to do for you. | 03:51 |
| D3RGPS31 | woo, guess it was just a freak moment; fglrx drivers work fine now :3 | 03:51 |
| lahwran | is there a way to shut up banshee's alerts? | 03:51 |
| phil_in_london | v12, do you see the unused space? | 03:51 |
| lahwran | they're filling up my entire screen, see. | 03:51 |
| phil_in_london | v12, or do you see a defined partition that is not used by windows? | 03:51 |
| v12extremex | no, its stuck right now trying to shrink the hard drive, i need to wait till its finished | 03:51 |
| dlorag | lahwran: just installed banshee yesterday so not a clue probably under its settings. I mostly used exaile up until now though | 03:52 |
| trj021782 | 0..phil_in_london did you hear me i said it is PPC 64 | 03:52 |
| phil_in_london | v12, well, you could wait for that, and then create a partition in the unused space, format it (which would blow away all the data on it) and then delete the partition. | 03:52 |
| phil_in_london | try, sorry, no I didn't catch that. | 03:52 |
| dlorag | lahwran: mind me asking how are its syncing abilities with playlists and other devices? | 03:52 |
| phil_in_london | trj, you'll need a cross-compiler for ppc | 03:52 |
| trj021782 | can I apt-get that? | 03:53 |
| v12extremex | hopefully it dosent take too long | 03:53 |
| kellnola | scgtrp, obviously, the packager didn't take care of everything. Why do you need that kernel? | 03:53 |
| lahwran | dlorag: I've been using amarok ... and loving it ... but this has such a sweet auto-playlist feature .. | 03:53 |
| rusivi | phil_in_london: The Ubuntu installer/updating is far faster (by a full day) then Vista/XP. Quite a few months ago a relative of mine was working for a Fortune 500 company and I wanted to introduce her to Ubuntu on a Dell 1515 laptop. I tried 9.04/9.10 but the Broadcom wifi would not work so I literally spent an entire day baby-sitting her Vista computer until it was fully installed/updated and had all the programs she was accustomed wit | 03:53 |
| rusivi | h. In hindsight that was a great opportunity to bug it but I was not familiar enough with Ubuntu as I am now. | 03:53 |
| scgtrp | kellnola: it contains a patch which makes acpi work on my laptop | 03:53 |
| trj021782 | Phil it is important to point out that this code was written speciffically for my hardware | 03:54 |
| phil_in_london | rusivi, I hear ya...its almost excruciating at times. | 03:54 |
| phil_in_london | trj, you are running your ubuntu on the ppc? | 03:54 |
| dlorag | rusivi: b43 fwcutter and that wl driver sta thing from broadcom are two alternatives to test b43 being most used just requiring firmware cut from the broadcom release | 03:54 |
| trj021782 | phil - ubuntu on a PPC based PS3 | 03:54 |
| v12extremex | Hmm, would inserting wubildr into the ubuntu partition instead of my main hard drive work? | 03:54 |
| phil_in_london | v12, I have no idea what wubilder is. | 03:55 |
| rusivi | dlorag: I briefly tried fwcutter but was not patient enough as I am now. | 03:55 |
| phil_in_london | trj, do a search on your computer for c++ or gcc | 03:55 |
| v12extremex | Its the file that isnt found at startup | 03:55 |
| rusivi | dlorag: Thank you for mentioning that. | 03:55 |
| v12extremex | the reason i cnt boot into ubuntu | 03:55 |
| dlorag | lahwran: have you tried songbird yet? It seems like a total nuke and the kitchen sink in one but if your really into music maybe | 03:55 |
| === Vaan is now known as Luffy | ||
| phil_in_london | v12, as I say, I don't know, I've never heard of that file before. | 03:55 |
| === Luffy is now known as Zenogias | ||
| trj021782 | Phil - OK be back after a bit | 03:56 |
| v12extremex | it may not be exactly like that | 03:56 |
| lahwran | dlorag: does it have a song similarity feature/ | 03:56 |
| v12extremex | its something along that spelling | 03:56 |
| === Zenogias is now known as Kenshin | ||
| === Kenshin is now known as Shishio | ||
| v12extremex | So should i make a new partition, or format the one ubuntu is currently installed on? | 03:56 |
| phil_in_london | v12, actually ,it should be exactly like one of those | 03:56 |
| sumosu | my audio just crashed. is there a command to restart it? (mint9/ubuntu 10.4) | 03:57 |
| phil_in_london | v12, you seemed to have a problem as a result of having installed a demo system right? | 03:57 |
| trj021782 | Phil - 72 filles with c++ in them | 03:57 |
| phil_in_london | v12, and from what you can see, does that partition still exist? | 03:57 |
| v12extremex | nvm, ubuntu isnt installed, i just forgot to unmount it from my drive | 03:57 |
| phil_in_london | trj, any file that is just c++ not c++* , but just c++ ? | 03:58 |
| dlorag | rusivi: if you don't find enough info I usually use a few other distro help guides arch,gentoo,slackware. just remember the names and the lspci entry for the card | 03:58 |

| phil_in_london | trj, this program you are trying to install, did you extract it to its own folder? | 03:59 |
| trj021782 | phil - yes, in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/ | 03:59 |
| === Helmont is now known as Gosu | ||
| phil_in_london | trj, use a terminal and navigate yourself to that folder. | 03:59 |
| phil_in_london | trj, then type ./configure | 03:59 |
| v12extremex | Idk what a demo system is, i cant get it fully installed anymore seeing as how i need to reboot to complete installation. | 03:59 |
| v12extremex | Ima try to reinstall it, format the partition that appears, the reinstall it again | 03:59 |
| phil_in_london | v12, I thought you said you installed an ubuntu demo? | 04:00 |
| === Gosu is now known as Zenogias | ||
| adante | noob qn but what is the difference between vi and vim | 04:00 |
| rusivi | dlorag: Thank you. | 04:00 |

| === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke | ||
| v12extremex | I have the beta iso and the latest stable iso | 04:00 |
| scgtrp | kellnola: is there any other way to get the headers, at least temporarily until 10.10 comes out (presumably with new kernel)? | 04:01 |
| phil_in_london | v12, and did you get this same problem by installing the stable iso as well? | 04:01 |
| rusivi | dlorag: ty | 04:01 |
| dlorag | rusivi: that known pci device chart should come in handy picking which driver you need | 04:01 |
| v12extremex | Yes i did | 04:01 |
| phil_in_london | v12, how are you installing, within Windows? | 04:01 |
| scgtrp | (can i just extract the vanilla kernel somewhere and point things at that or is ubuntu's kernel patched too much?) | 04:01 |
| v12extremex | With Wubi | 04:01 |
| phil_in_london | wtf is wubi? | 04:01 |
| trj021782 | Phil - no such file or directory | 04:01 |
| v12extremex | Idk, i mount the iso and wubi pops up and i just install it | 04:01 |
| phil_in_london | v12, nope, not the way to do it. | 04:01 |
| rusivi | phil_in_london: It allows for dual-booting of Ubuntu/Windows on the same HDD | 04:02 |
| kellnola | so, is xmms completely gone? there is no longer a gui at all? | 04:02 |
| phil_in_london | v12, does your computer allow you to boot from cd? | 04:02 |
| v12extremex | Yes it does | 04:02 |
| phil_in_london | v12, insert cd, reboot computer, allow it to boot from cd. | 04:02 |
| v12extremex | So i suppose i shall burn it to a blank cd and continue from there | 04:02 |
| phil_in_london | yes sir. | 04:02 |
| braxton | Hi I have a printer connected to a pc that's directly connected to my wireless router which this laptop is receiving internet access from. Is there a way I can access that printer? | 04:02 |

| kellnola | braxton, yes, cups | 04:03 |
| braxton | kellnola: Shall I google it? | 04:03 |
| kellnola | braxton, lpstat -a -h <pc name> | 04:03 |
| phil_in_london | plovs, I've managed without it, and without v12's problems, I'll still with the old farts method. | 04:03 |
| phil_in_london | thanks tho. | 04:03 |
| v12extremex | anyone know a quick and easy iso burner program to download? | 04:03 |

| phil_in_london | braxton, that is if your mask is 192.168.0 | 04:05 |
| braxton | phil_in_london: Thanks. | 04:05 |
| braxton | kellnola: No, I've never used anything called CUPS, consciously. | 04:06 |
| kellnola | braxton, wait, are both of these linux? | 04:06 |

| braxton | kellnola: Yes, indee. | 04:06 |
| braxton | *indeed | 04:06 |
| phil_in_london | braxton to confirm, type ifconfig in a terminal, that will tell you your ip address, if it begins with 192.168.0 then thats your subnet, if it begins with 192.168.1. then .... etc. | 04:06 |

| trj021782 | Phil - IT JUST WORKED!!! I have no idea why this time was successful and the others were not but it worked - I am off to hack my PS3 thanks for eveything | 04:06 |
| braxton | phil_in_london: I know how to find my IP, thank you. :3 | 04:06 |
| drbutt | i have this funky problem with the audio ports on my laptop. if i plug-in speakers/headphones all the way in the port i get no sound. but, if i put them 3/4 in they work perfectly (sometimes i have to fiddle with them like the wire is loose_ | 04:06 |
| braxton | kellnola: alright. | 04:06 |
| phil_in_london | k braxton. | 04:07 |
| kellnola | braxton, ifconfig at a terminal will tell you your ip address | 04:07 |
| braxton | trj021782: What did you do? | 04:07 |
| drbutt | any ideas why, i guess is what i'm getting at | 04:07 |
| braxton | kellnola: I am looking for the name of another computer on my network, I'm fully capable of finding my own. | 04:07 |
| trj021782 | Braxton - i finnally compiled something in linux - and not just anything but the software to allow me to hack my PS3 and dump the hypervisor | 04:07 |
| braxton | kellnola: I could easily perform it on that one, but I thought it may be useful if I knew how to do this anyway. | 04:08 |
| phil_in_london | drbutt, check the connections that you are plugging into the audio ports, do they have 2 black lines on them or 3? | 04:08 |
| braxton | trj021782: Wow! Good job. What exactly did that entail? | 04:08 |
| drbutt | 2 | 04:08 |
| phil_in_london | hmm, so thats stereo, got a ruler handy? are them 3.5mm long or 2.5mm long? | 04:08 |
| trj021782 | su root - make - make install - I tried this 2 or 3 times previously but for some reason it worked this time | 04:08 |
| braxton | trj021782: I meant the code, haha. | 04:09 |
| drbutt | 2.5 | 04:09 |
| trj021782 | oh I do not know - it was source downloaded from the authors website | 04:09 |
| braxton | trj021782: Was this a problem with the new firmware update Sony issued disallowing linux? | 04:09 |
| drbutt | i mean it's not a big deal, just an odd issue i guess | 04:09 |
| phil_in_london | drbutt, when you say you get sound when they are 3/4 of the way in , is it stereo or mono? | 04:10 |
| drbutt | stero | 04:10 |
| phil_in_london | you sure? | 04:10 |
| trj021782 | braxton - not for me, i am in linux on my PS3 right now - I never updated past 3.15 (the last firware to allow the OtherOS feature) | 04:10 |
| === MiNdCaNdY is now known as Zenogias | ||
| braxton | trj021782: I'm envious, I was almost contemplating doing that but now it seems nearly impossible without undue effort. | 04:11 |

| trj021782 | this hack will however remove ALL the restrictions imposed by sony about what can be done in linux | 04:11 |
| phil_in_london | trj, as I understand it, the PS3 is really kick a$$ with linux on it. | 04:11 |

| thedayturns | it's been showing me the five dots for like 5 minutes, but it's not making any noise or giving any sign of life | 04:49 |
| ndevastator | thedayturns, depends on your system, and typically it does take some time | 04:49 |
| AlbertoP | thedayturns: no it is not supposed to | 04:49 |
| CowboyTech | many singlr cores take tenish minutes | 04:49 |
| thedayturns | ten minutes? | 04:49 |
| thedayturns | well, im on a dual core | 04:49 |
| thedayturns | but i guess i can hold out for a few more | 04:49 |
| thedayturns | i'm just antsy i guess. i hope i didnt lose all my data :( | 04:49 |

| CowboyTech | not here brianski | 05:02 |
| brianski | also apt-check --human-readable tells me "15 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates." | 05:02 |
| brianski | CowboyTech: have you upgraded avahi-* yet? | 05:02 |

| enetic | hey.. im having problems mounting my harddisk.. i accedentially plugged it out when i was using it, and now i cant mount it.. | 05:05 |
| brianski | enetic: did you fsck the partitions on it yet? | 05:06 |
| enetic | brianski, i dont know what you mean.. im sorry | 05:06 |
| brianski | enetic: open a command line window | 05:06 |
| enetic | brianski, yes, and then ? | 05:06 |
| brianski | enetic: then sudo fsck /dev/sdc3 or what have you | 05:06 |
| TheMusicGuy | When I am asked "Are you sure you want to logout? [Logout] [Cancel]" and I click "logout," nothing happens. No notices, no hard drive activity, no hangups...it just acts as if I had hit "cancel." | 05:07 |
| trism | johntramp: you can use inotify to monitor files for changes, either directly in some code, or you could use inotifywait from the inotify-tools package to write a shell script to loop, waiting for changes to a file, then execute your command | 05:08 |
| TheMusicGuy | Sometimes it does work--like when I just recently logged in--but if I try to logout after I've been logged in for a long time, nothing happens. | 05:08 |
| Roush427r | AlbertoP: ok, so what do I do now | 05:08 |
| johntramp | cheers trism , i will look into that | 05:08 |
| enetic | nothing came up brianski .. i dropped it on the floor too.. can that have something to do with it? | 05:08 |
| AlbertoP | Roush427r: no idea | 05:08 |
| pedestrianentran | when I plug in usb devices, they aren't always detected automatically.... Only when I reboot. Is there any command I can use to mount a device automatically? | 05:09 |
| brianski | enetic: can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l ? | 05:09 |
| TheMusicGuy | pedestrianentran, are you talking about a storage device? If so, then check out mount. | 05:09 |
| brianski | pedestrianentran: sure - sudo mount /dev/sdXN, where X is a letter and N is a number corresponding to the device and partition thereon | 05:10 |
| DBoyz | hi there | 05:10 |
| DBoyz | i need help with ubuntu | 05:10 |
| DBoyz | i tried installing ubuntu | 05:10 |
| DBoyz | but i had blackscreen problem | 05:10 |
| DBoyz | so i used an external monitor | 05:10 |
| thedayturns | i'm getting "no init found. try passing init= bootarg" and my computer will not start up. I'm not sure what to do... | 05:10 |
| pedestrianentran | brianski: is there anyway without knowing X or N? The system used to do this automatically until I upgraded to latest release of ubuntu | 05:10 |
| wgrant | brianski: There are no lucid-security sources there. | 05:10 |
| DBoyz | now that i installed ubuntu | 05:11 |
| wgrant | brianski: Enable security updates in System->Administration->Software Sources. | 05:11 |
| pedestrianentran | brianski: it works automatically when I reboot | 05:11 |
| brianski | wgrant: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse | 05:11 |
| brianski | ? | 05:11 |
| enetic | brianski, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vDKSBXeA | 05:11 |
| DBoyz | what can i to not depend on external monitor | 05:11 |
| wgrant | brianski: lucid-updates != lucid-security | 05:11 |
| DBoyz | anyone help me? | 05:11 |
| brianski | oh sheep | 05:11 |
| brianski | how the heck did that happen? | 05:11 |
| wgrant | brianski: Security updates are copied to updates later, but they won't show up as security updates. | 05:12 |
| TheMusicGuy | pedestrianentran, there are always a lot of problems with upgrades (at lease any time I've ever tried it). I end up having to do a clean install each time to prevent those sort of issues. | 05:12 |
| * DBoyz waits for help | 05:12 | |
| BumOnBoat | on the new netbook edition, how can I add stuff to the launchbar? | 05:12 |
| TheMusicGuy | DBoyz, more info needed. What sort of system do you have? Laptop I'm assuming? What sort of graphics card? | 05:13 |
| wgrant | BumOnBoat: You mean the Ubuntu 10.10 Release Candidate? | 05:13 |
| BumOnBoat | yes | 05:13 |
| DBoyz | hang on, TheMusicGuy | 05:13 |
| pedestrianentran | TheMusicGuy: Yeah I guess i should have done that. But everything else works fine. Surely there is a way of making the system automatically check for connected devices... usb mass storage or cameras etc. It works automatically if I reboot and sporadically at other times. | 05:13 |
| wgrant | BumOnBoat: See #ubuntu+1 for Ubuntu 10.10 pre-release support. | 05:13 |
| brianski | wgrant: thanks, that fixed it alright | 05:13 |
| brianski | yikes | 05:13 |
| * brianski apt-get installs chkrootkit | 05:13 | |
| BumOnBoat | ok | 05:13 |
| wgrant | brianski: Don't worry -- updates are copied from -security to -updates an hour or two after they are published, so you won't be behind much. | 05:14 |
| brianski | wgrant: that quick? why? | 05:14 |
| brianski | wgrant: where can i read more? | 05:14 |
| wgrant | brianski: Because security.ubuntu.com isn't mirrored. | 05:14 |
| DBoyz | Lenovo V360 Laptop | 05:14 |
| BumOnBoat | join #ubuntu+1 | 05:14 |
| wgrant | brianski: So we copy it onto the mirrors as quickly as possible. | 05:14 |
| DBoyz | Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD | 05:14 |
| brianski | wgrant: i thought that was a "security feature" ? | 05:14 |
| DBoyz | thats my display adapter | 05:15 |
| TheMusicGuy | pedestrianentran, I think automounting is handeled by HAL. Beyond that I don't know what to tell you...anytime this issue has come up for me I just reinstalled. | 05:15 |
| wgrant | brianski: Every Ubuntu machine points at security.ubuntu.com so they know about security updates ASAP, even if their mirror is slow to update. | 05:15 |
| johntramp | trism: inotifywait is exactly what i am after. cheers | 05:15 |
| wgrant | brianski: But most machines point at up-to-date mirrors, so they'll download from there instead. | 05:15 |
| wgrant | brianski: This is what stops the security.ubuntu.com DC from melting :) | 05:15 |
| brianski | wgrant: is it possible that new installs don't include security by default, or is it more likely i clobbered my sources.list ? | 05:16 |
| brianski | i suppose someone else would have noticed that before... | 05:16 |
| brianski | wgrant: anyhow thanks for your help | 05:16 |
| wgrant | brianski: You must have changed it. | 05:16 |
| TheMusicGuy | DBoyz, for starters, you may need to check the documentation for the X intel drivers. Most likely you need to change the X server config file to use the internal monitor by default. I'm not familiar with how that works for the Intel drivers myself. | 05:17 |
| brianski | wgrant: yeah i think i did. i don't like how the lines take up so much space, so i usually reformat them at some point. and then i probably copied from my server to my laptop or vice versa :-/ | 05:17 |
| ad_ | I'm trying to figure out how to change the refresh rate of my screen to 48Hz (from 50Hz) any suggestions? | 05:17 |
| wgrant | brianski: Yeah, the default sources.list is a bit verbose. | 05:18 |
| wgrant | ad_: Why would you want to do that? | 05:18 |
| wgrant | ad_: What sort of screen is it? | 05:18 |
| DBoyz | [12:17:21] <TheMusicGuy> DBoyz, for starters, you may need to check the documentation for the X intel drivers. Most likely you need to change the X server config file to use the internal monitor by default. I'm not familiar with how that works for the Intel drivers myself. <-- wow... can someone explain that to me? | 05:19 |
| * DBoyz ish new to ubuntu | 05:19 | |
| ad_ | Because when you playback content at 24fps, you can't really get perfectly smooth playback unless the rates are synchronized | 05:19 |
| wgrant | DBoyz: Does your internal screen turn on at all? | 05:19 |
| DBoyz | yup | 05:19 |
| DBoyz | it does | 05:19 |
| chadbumb | In case you didn't know: | 05:19 |
| DBoyz | i could turn it on and off | 05:20 |
| DBoyz | so obviously its turned on | 05:20 |
| wgrant | DBoyz: It display an image? | 05:20 |
| chadbumb | The linux kernel was created by a far-left Finnish nationalist by the name of Linus Torvalds. He has stolen code from the then-propreitary operating system which is known by MINIX 3. The creator of MINIX 3, a socialist sympathiser by the name of Andrew Tennanbaum has denied this ever happening, but has secretly received compensation from the wildly succesful Linux kernel. This puts many home users, system administrators, and oems on | 05:20 |
| DBoyz | it displays NOTHING after i boot ubuntu | 05:20 |
| chadbumb | nforce legal action at any time, crippling many industries in capitalist economies. This threat cannot be taken more seriously | 05:21 |
| wgrant | DBoyz: But you're able to log in fine witht he external monitor? | 05:21 |
| DBoyz | no | 05:21 |
| DBoyz | i couldn't see anything without the external monitor | 05:21 |
| DBoyz | only blackscreen | 05:21 |
| TheMusicGuy | DBoyz, if you can access your system through the external monitor, see if you can change you screen settings using tool in Gnome Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Monitor | 05:22 |
| TheMusicGuy | (wow, that was terrible english on my part) | 05:22 |
| DBoyz | gnome menu as in the menu asking for recovery mode and etc.? | 05:23 |

| terminalvelocity | how do i capture drivers for wireshark with lucid | 06:03 |
| blakkheim | "capture drivers"? | 06:03 |
| DBoyz | Symptoms: This class of bug occurs right before the GDM login screen would normally display. The BIOS boot screen, grub screen, and the "Ubuntu" usplash screen all display more or less correctly. There is perhaps a slight flicker as the video card changes modes, and then the screen just never comes back. It is either blank (no backlight or indication that the leds or crt phosphors are lit up) | 06:04 |
| DBoyz | or black (the monitor is on and displaying video, it's just 100% pure black). Often you can still login in by entering your username/password, hear the login sounds, etc. <-- yup this is what happening to me | 06:04 |
| DBoyz | but i cannot see the ubuntu splash screen too | 06:04 |
| dwxreaper | terminalvelocity: you might need libpcap | 06:04 |
| terminalvelocity | blakkheim: the program "wireshark" requires capture enabling | 06:04 |
| blakkheim | terminalvelocity: i know how wireshark works, but your sentence didn't make sensse | 06:05 |
| blakkheim | -s | 06:05 |
| terminalvelocity | dwxreaper: libpcap is available in the synaptic? | 06:05 |
| DBoyz | Workaround A: VESA Driver <-- how do i do this? | 06:06 |
| wgrant | terminalvelocity: What is message you get? | 06:06 |
| DBoyz | somebody teach me? | 06:06 |
| wgrant | DBoyz: If you can't see the purple boot splash screen, it's a different issue. | 06:06 |
| DBoyz | oh ok | 06:06 |
| terminalvelocity | blakkheim: the setup is asking me to enable capture drivers | 06:06 |

| === root__ is now known as kiss1 | ||

| wgrant | zack`ubuntu: Ubuntu 10.10's kernel should allow you to select between them. But does it not have an option in the BIOS? | 06:12 |
| wgrant | My T400 (about 18 months old) has a BIOS option for it, and it works fine. | 06:12 |

| wgrant | zack`ubuntu: In Ubuntu 10.10 there should be, yes. | 06:15 |
| zack`ubuntu | err i have no idea what version im running, lol | 06:15 |
| zack`ubuntu | i just got ubuntu like 4 weeks ago, so im assuming its the latest. | 06:15 |
| wgrant | zack`ubuntu: The latest is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. 10.10 will be released in a week. | 06:15 |
| zack`ubuntu | oh, so i have to wait a week then before i can do it | 06:15 |
| terminalvelocity | wgrant yes exactly, and in the setup instructions part 1 is says somthing about capture support and capture driver enabled | 06:15 |
| wgrant | terminalvelocity: Ah. Your user account doesn't have access to the raw network devices. You need to run it with gksudo. Hit Alt+F2, then run "gksudo wireshark" | 06:16 |
| wgrant | Enter your password, and it should work. | 06:16 |
| zack`ubuntu | wgrant: so i just need to wait till 10.10 is released? | 06:17 |

| Andorin | So the left side of my screen extends past the edge of my monitor by a few pixels... running 64-bit 10.04 in 1440x900 resolution. Anyone know why it's doing this? | 06:23 |
| Ryen | Andorin: If your monitor is older, then the geometry could be messed up. | 06:24 |
| Andorin | Ryen: Nope, just a few-years-old flatscreen | 06:25 |

| Ryen | Andorin: Have you tried your "Auto" mode? | 06:25 |
| Andorin | Oh, also, when I switch to something like 1280x1024, the left side is fine. | 06:25 |
| greppy | terminalvelocity: I think if you put gksudo in front of the command, it should pop up and ask for your password to then run it as root. | 06:25 |
| Andorin | Actually, hrm. I fixed it with the position adjustment control on the monitor itself. Sorry for the uncharacteristically stupid question xD | 06:26 |

| zeeble | does aptitude install xfce4 install the whole xfce environment? | 06:28 |
| icarus-c | terminalvelocity, like press Alt-F2, enter "gksudo gparted" | 06:28 |
| bazhang | zeeble, xubuntu-desktop does | 06:28 |
| TanLizxxx | hello,my transmission(2.04).all of the torrents are stuck at "Tracker did not respond" | 06:28 |
| erfolg | zeeble: you can install xubuntu-desktop | 06:28 |
| zeeble | bazhang: oh. i want to stay with the normal gnome, but have xfce4 as an alternative. i'll just install the packages manually | 06:29 |
| zeeble | after aptitude search xfce | 06:29 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: That's probably a problem with the torrent, not Transmission. | 06:29 |
| bazhang | zeeble, you can choose between them (ie kubuntu-desktop , xubuntu, lubuntu etc) at the login window | 06:29 |
| erfolg | zeeble: Install xubuntu-desktop and you can switch back and forth. | 06:29 |
| TanLizxxx | it work well about 10 days ago.and i changed nothing. | 06:30 |
| terminalvelocity | icarus-c: we are talking about wireshark....I am in no need of new partitions or formatting | 06:30 |
| zeeble | bazhang: ah, okay. | 06:30 |
| zeeble | what's "lubuntu"? | 06:30 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: No,maybe not. | 06:30 |
| bazhang | zeeble, lxde and openbox | 06:30 |
| erfolg | zeeble: lxde | 06:30 |
| zeeble | bazhang: oh | 06:30 |
| icarus-c | terminalvelocity, that was just an example, you are smart enough to run "gksudo wireshark" instead right :) | 06:30 |
| cromag | it is lighter than gnome and KDE right ? | 06:30 |
| zeeble | thanks, let me install xubuntuthen | 06:30 |
| zeeble | everything's lighter than gnome and kde | 06:31 |
| zeeble | :) | 06:31 |
| cromag | ;) | 06:31 |
| erfolg | zeeble: fluxbox is nice too | 06:31 |
| bazhang | cromag, lubuntu? yes very much so | 06:31 |
| erfolg | zeeble: takes a lot of configuring though. | 06:31 |
| cromag | and xubuntu ? - lighter than lubunto or maybe same ? | 06:31 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: I download some torrent to test.The deluge , ktorrent and vuze all work well but transmission.PS:It's private torrent. | 06:31 |
| bazhang | cromag, not really. closer to gnome | 06:31 |
| cromag | oh dang | 06:32 |
| zeeble | erfolg: heh. i'll stick with the normal ubuntu.. my cousin like xfce | 06:32 |
| icarus-c | terminalvelocity, or you could edit the "Exec=" line in "wireshark.desktop" (probably in /usr/share/applications/ ) | 06:32 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: It's probably the torrent itself. Try downloading a Ubuntu torrent and see what it does then. | 06:32 |
| zeeble | xubuntu is light, cromag .. xfce, windowmaker and fluxbox were nice | 06:32 |
| icarus-c | terminalvelocity, but such change will be reverted everytime you update/reinstall wireshark | 06:32 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: OK. | 06:33 |
| zeeble | TanLizxxx: if all of them share the same tracker, then it is a tracker issue. the error is "tracker did not respond" | 06:33 |

| erfolg | TanLizxxx: well it still has to have a working tracker for you to seed. | 06:37 |
| erfolg | klaypigeon: what's your problem? | 06:37 |
| bazhang | klaypigeon, ask a question please | 06:37 |
| icarus-c | klaypigeon, why don't you simply ask first and worry later | 06:38 |
| terminalvelocity | greppy: i put gksudo before the command and it works for wireshark but not etherape.....what is the deal? | 06:38 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: are you trying to run etherape as root? | 06:38 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: The same torrent.Deluge can link to the tracker well but transmission just encounter a tracker "tracker did not error" | 06:39 |
| klaypigeon | Hi. Well I am trying to install ubuntu side by side, but it does not recognize any OS being there and I am not prepared to risk losing my Win7 64. Any ideas how to get the installer to recognize Win7 64? | 06:39 |
| icarus-c | TanLizxxx, dig into transmission settings in that case | 06:39 |
| icarus-c | like proxy and stuff | 06:39 |
| erfolg | klaypigeon: are you using 1 harddrive or 2? | 06:39 |
| klaypigeon | 1 | 06:39 |
| Tashia | I'm just wondering, is there anyway to convert mkfs.ext3 to a mac binary? | 06:39 |
| icarus-c | Tashia, probably not | 06:40 |
| terminalvelocity | erfolg : i have had success running etherape only while logged in as root. | 06:40 |
| zeeble | Klaypigeon:it recognises Win 7 64 bit just fine. i've been dual booting my laptop for a long time | 06:40 |
| klaypigeon | its a 1TB sata with 150GB unallocated | 06:40 |
| erfolg | klaypigeon: it should pick it up then. try it again and see if it recognizes it. | 06:40 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: etherape needs to be run as root to work correctly. | 06:40 |
| terminalvelocity | erfolg: i would prefer to log in as user and run etherape only as root | 06:40 |
| Tashia | icarus-c, What utility in mac can do the functions that mkfs can? | 06:40 |
| klaypigeon | hmm, Ive tried 4 times. It keeps telling me "No OS installations found" | 06:40 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: there should be an "etherape-as root" program somewhere. | 06:41 |
| icarus-c | Tashia, why dont you ask in #mac | 06:41 |
| icarus-c | Tashia, but i don't think mac osx got ext3 driver | 06:41 |
| Tashia | ok, Thanks i'll go try asking in another channel | 06:41 |
| greppy | Tashia: Disk Utility | 06:41 |
| TanLizxxx | icarus-c: I have tried to initialize the setting of transmission and tried another version.Nothing work. | 06:41 |
| zeeble | klaypigeon: not sure how you are trying to install. i installed to a 8GB root, 10GB /home , 5G /opt and some 4G as swap. and share ntfs partitions for storing data. it detected 64 bit win 7 just fine after install. | 06:42 |
| greppy | Tashia: but it will only make FAT or HFS file systems | 06:42 |
| Tashia | greppy, I dont want to use disk utility. I want to use a CLI program | 06:42 |
| terminalvelocity | erfolg: i have the etherape as root program but it only works while logged in as root. I tried putting gksudo in front of the run command but it doesnt work | 06:42 |
| klaypigeon | so you think I should just install and hope for the best? sounds risky | 06:43 |
| greppy | Tashia: not sure then... lemme see if I can find something real quick | 06:43 |
| icarus-c | Tashia, google suggest "newfs" instead | 06:43 |
| greppy | ... or that. | 06:43 |
| icarus-c | Tashia, in contrast to mkfs for linux | 06:43 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: login as your normal user, then under internet > etherape as root works for me. just tried it. | 06:44 |
| icarus-c | Tashia, OSX is more like BSD after all. | 06:44 |
| icarus-c | anyway off topic | 06:44 |

| icarus-c | klaypigeon, you better use manual disk partitioning instead | 06:45 |
| Cityscape | Is 8 MB graphics enough for Ubuntu? | 06:45 |
| klaypigeon | If it doesnt recognize Win7 during installation how will the boot loader get configured? | 06:45 |
| zeeble | klaypigeon: no. dont go that way. make sure you have unpartitioned space on your disk. install ubuntu to the unpartitioned space - partitioning during the install process. | 06:45 |
| cuddlefish_XO | Cityscape: Probably not. Xubuntu or Lubuntu might, though. | 06:45 |
| icarus-c | Cityscape, without GUI, yes of course | 06:45 |
| cuddlefish_XO | !xubuntu > Cityscape | 06:46 |
| ubottu | Cityscape, please see my private message | 06:46 |
| icarus-c | klaypigeon, configure the boot loader yourself? | 06:46 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: the command it uses is "su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/etherape" | 06:46 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: so try making a launcher w/ that command. | 06:47 |
| erfolg | and see if it works | 06:47 |
| Cityscape | icarus-c: I want to run it with GUI. XP runs fine with 2 MB but Vista needs 64, I was wondering what Ubuntu required. | 06:47 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: icarus-c: I am downloading the ubuntu torrent and the torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 error is also "tracker did not respond " | 06:47 |
| klaypigeon | icarus . not sure I am smart enough to configure the boot loader. | 06:47 |

| icarus-c | Cityscape, i have never read anything mention graphics memory requirement for anything about linux | 06:50 |
| icarus-c | Cityscape, why don't you try with a livecd and see | 06:50 |
| Cityscape | bazhang: it only says 1024 by 768. most graphics cards can do that. | 06:50 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: Yes,just iptables.I always used it and the transmission worked well once.I have tried that delete the EXP of iptables and the transmission also did not work. | 06:51 |
| icarus-c | Cityscape, but i bet ubuntu will work fine if windows runs | 06:51 |
| klaypigeon | oh man, I just know this is gonna screw my win7 installation and I am going to go back to hating linux | 06:51 |
| bazhang | Cityscape, then try the live cd as suggested | 06:51 |
| erfolg | klaypigeon: scaredy cat | 06:51 |
| MOP | Hello? | 06:51 |
| klaypigeon | yup | 06:51 |
| erfolg | klaypigeon: just get rid of windows altogether. you'll be better off. | 06:51 |
| xfact | Hello | 06:51 |
| Cityscape | icarus-c: I guess i will. I have a 64 MB card to but the 8 MB is the only one with a Linux driver. | 06:52 |
| klaypigeon | ya right, try playing cod4 in wine | 06:52 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: no clue. that's pretty strange though. | 06:52 |
| Cityscape | icarus-c: XP runs fine. | 06:52 |
| erfolg | klaypigeon: l2 virtualbox it | 06:52 |
| icarus-c | klaypigeon, probably something unusual with your windows setup, therefore ubuntu's installer can't identify your windows isntall | 06:52 |
| Tryptych | its time to invest $10 in a used graphic card. | 06:52 |
| xfact | Any one can tell me how to get the latest stable version of GIMP in Lucid Lynx? (e.g. via PPA) | 06:52 |
| klaypigeon | could be | 06:52 |
| Cityscape | Well, good night all. | 06:52 |
| icarus-c | Cityscape, um... linux should got the driver anyway | 06:52 |
| MOP | I got UNR installed. Got java and flash and chrome installed | 06:53 |
| erfolg | xfact: google gimp ppa. once you find it it'll have instructions on how to install it. | 06:53 |
| MOP | what else should I do? | 06:53 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: yes.After googling,there is just a post https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10401 | 06:53 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: hmm. seems like it's a transmission problem. | 06:54 |
| terminalvelocity | erfolg: made the launcher and it no longer gives an error message but does not work | 06:55 |
| klaypigeon | i better do some more research | 06:55 |
| erfolg | does it give you a prompt for administrator pw? | 06:55 |
| klaypigeon | thanks, lata | 06:55 |
| terminalvelocity | erfolg: no | 06:56 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: And one of my friends encountered the error,too.He said he tried every solution he can thought but did not work. | 06:56 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: for some reason it's not getting root properly. try running that command in terminal and observe the output. | 06:57 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg:Eventually,he reinstall his ubuntu then the transmission can work now. | 06:57 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: see if you can find an older version to install. | 06:57 |
| erfolg | is there a reason not to use ext4 or btrfs for a /boot partition? | 06:58 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: I have tried 1.76 1.92 version.The same result. | 06:58 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: I guess try using something besides transmission until they have a fix. I hate that b/c i like transmission. | 06:59 |

| erfolg | TanLizxxx: i know my transmission says at times that it has errors but it still downloads anyhow at good speeds. | 07:04 |
| erfolg | terminalvelocity: try running it by logging into terminal as root and running the command then see what it does. | 07:05 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: but,i just add a new torrent.if the tracker really did not respond,how can transmission get other peers? | 07:06 |

| steve_ | look it up | 07:07 |
| steve_ | and peer exchange | 07:07 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: it's strange but i've had torrents that wouldn't download at first b/c of errors. then i'd let them sit there for awhile and they'd download anyhow. | 07:07 |
| TanLizxxx | steve_: Should that. | 07:08 |
| steve_ | is that a statement? | 07:08 |
| ratdog | hi, how can i resore the volume control applet | 07:08 |
| steve_ | dht and the peer exchange have outdated trackers for about 2 years now | 07:08 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: THX | 07:09 |
| TanLizxxx | steve_:I mean,you are right i guess.Maybe the transmission use DHT to find other peers. | 07:10 |
| greppy | ratdog: right click on the panel and select "add to panel" | 07:10 |
| ratdog | hi, how can i restore the volume control applet on panel | 07:11 |
| ratdog | the option isnt there | 07:11 |

| TanLizxxx | erfolg: I guess the problem is my computer's setting. | 07:11 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: possibly. how old is your install? | 07:12 |
| ratdog | vulumr control isnt listed in the applet list | 07:12 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: the version is 10.04.Maybe in May. | 07:12 |
| erfolg | ratdog: it's part of indicator applet | 07:13 |
| ratdog | aww | 07:13 |
| greppy | Kartagis: why not do "rm /var/www/drupal/webrary.net/sites/default/today.xml && http://www.tcmb.gov.tr/kurlar/today.xml -o /var/www/drupal/webrary.net/sites/default/today.xml" | 07:13 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: If it were me I'd just reinstall. But i reinstall a lot. | 07:13 |
| greppy | Kartagis: sorry, should be -O not -o | 07:15 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg: hehe....I used to reinstall a lot.This time is very long for me to use it.Maybe,it is need indeed to reinstall now. | 07:15 |
| Kartagis | greppy let me try that | 07:15 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: the only reason it's needed to reinstall is if your settings get messed up or you REALLY hat your partition scheme or something though. | 07:15 |
| greppy | Kartagis: actually, you should be able to use just the wget commaond, it will overwrite the existing file, no need to delete it. | 07:16 |

| TanLizxxx | erfolg: the first reason always | 07:17 |
| philmikehock | Anyone familiar with xubuntu specifically? | 07:17 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: pretty much | 07:17 |
| ratdog | ine thing i dnt gtwhy oesp | 07:18 |
| philmikehock | I am running xubuntu on 384mb of ram on a 1ghz p3 processor, to my understand it should be running rather smooth but it is not. | 07:18 |
| erfolg | ratdog: this is an english language channel | 07:18 |
| philmikehock | What could be the reason why it is so slow? | 07:18 |
| greppy | Kartagis: I just tested it, and using -O overwrote the file, did not create a today.xml.1 | 07:18 |
| philmikehock | I mean literally, I just clicked to open the calculator and it took 3 seconds. | 07:19 |
| philmikehock | Maybe 4. | 07:19 |
| ratdog | ine thing i dnt gtwhy does gnome&kde work together on on awsome deskop\ | 07:19 |
| philmikehock | Is that normal? | 07:19 |
| shai | How can I have my Ubuntu not boot into X and instead, boot into console? | 07:19 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: 1 ghz is going to be slow with that little ram. | 07:19 |
| === mue__ is now known as mue | ||
| philmikehock | Really? Would 512mb make it run smoother? And should it be taking that long to open up a simple program? | 07:19 |

| philmikehock | Was that a yup ratdog? | 07:20 |
| tigertv69 | hey guys | 07:21 |
| tigertv69 | can anoyone help me with lftp | 07:21 |
| Aemaeth | when my computer updates to .25 from xubuntu it boots into a gnu grub ubuntu screen | 07:21 |
| tigertv69 | i want to basically know the command to transfer a folder from one server to my local server.. and do it in multipart (split files up to transfer faster)?? | 07:21 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: more ram makes a difference. i'm not sure how much that would help though. 512 is decent with the p4 i've got in one of my computers but it's like 2.1 not 1 ghz. so it's going to be slow. | 07:22 |
| Aemaeth | tigertv69, you can split the files easily using rar (read man rar), and sftp can do a command line transfer | 07:22 |
| TanLizxxx | erfolg:i am trying to uninstall transmission completely.If that dose not work.hehe....reinstall the ubutnu in a few days.THX for helping. | 07:22 |
| erfolg | TanLizxxx: good luck. | 07:22 |
| philmikehock | Hmm so try 512mb but do not hope for it to be any smoother? | 07:22 |
| philmikehock | Also, I've been reading about the sudo nautilus command on ubuntu but whenever I try it in terminal nothing comes up. Is nautilus not in xubuntu? | 07:23 |
| ratdog | put the gnomr an KDE team in a cage for a week " tellthem they have a week to create a new schell based on gnome&kde. bet, ti bt dam goog,, | 07:23 |
| philmikehock | And is there a xbuntu alternative? | 07:23 |
| bazhang | ratdog, what? | 07:23 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: p3 is going to be slow. | 07:23 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: i believe xubuntu uses thunar | 07:23 |
| ratdog | put them 2 toghther | 07:24 |
| philmikehock | What is the command to open it? | 07:24 |
| bazhang | ratdog, stop that. | 07:24 |
| Aemaeth | philmikehock, thunar | 07:24 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: as root? | 07:24 |
| philmikehock | Yes. | 07:24 |
| philmikehock | As root. | 07:24 |
| Aemaeth | sudo thunar? | 07:24 |

| bazhang | sweb, no | 07:31 |
| bazhang | sweb, #ubuntu+1 for maverick discussion | 07:32 |
| Aemaeth | philmikehock, yes, i guess it's only a problem with my specific hardware then, very odd, i guess i can't upgrade :( | 07:32 |
| Kartagis | greppy I've also looked in messages, no sign of it running | 07:32 |
| erfolg | Aemaeth: what happened to your grub? | 07:32 |
| philmikehock | Well, I would not know then aemath, I installed xubuntu on a clean hard drive so I guess no need to use grub. | 07:32 |
| Aemaeth | erfolg, i did a clean install of xubuntu, then when it restarted it boots into a very strange grub shell | 07:33 |
| philmikehock | But I am getting error messages before I even updated say no terminal and a blank screen. | 07:33 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: you've got grub installed. | 07:33 |
| philmikehock | Oh? I thought it was only for dual booting. | 07:33 |
| erfolg | Aemaeth: try reinstalling grub from a live cd. | 07:33 |
| tigertv69 | hey guys | 07:33 |
| coz_ | hey guys... i have noticed something ...on ubuntu lucid the mouse cursor will..without warning jump to the upper left of the screen ...it is consistent but not predicatble...however on edubuntu lucid this never occurs...is this somehow connected with touch scren implimentation and tell me there is a way to disable touch screen if it is the case :) | 07:33 |
| philmikehock | In that case I am getting errors but it boots into xubuntu after turning on/off a few times but that was before I even updated. | 07:34 |
| greppy | Kartagis: which users crontab are you putting that in? | 07:34 |
| erfolg | philmikehock: no. grub is still installed no matter what. | 07:34 |
| Aemaeth | erfolg, correction, i updated then restarted. and and update is what killed my system which is why i did clean install, because i got to this point and nothing worked :( | 07:34 |

| Dynetrekk | greppy: not "mount man" I trust. thanks | 07:39 |

| tigertv69 | anyone help me with ubuntu ftp | 07:41 |
| erfolg | Aemaeth: not sure what the command is to start exactly but that shouldn't come up. most likely happened b/c grub didn't update properly during the kernel upgrade. try reinstalling and updating grub from a live cd. i've had to do it before. | 07:41 |

| megacool | thanks so much | 08:25 |
| trj021782 | Vardan - No they are both x86 architecture, it would be a big difference if it were PPC | 08:25 |
| Dravekx | I want to install ubuntu on my laptop, but not sure if I should get 10.10 or 10.04. Is the RC stable? | 08:25 |
| Vardan | so ia64 is for PPC? | 08:26 |
| psycho_oreos | no | 08:26 |
| greppy | Vardan: ia64 is for the intel itanium line of processors | 08:26 |
| megacool | are the keyboard shortcuts to the desktop areas? | 08:26 |

| UweBollsFunder | Blue1: obviously I meant to thank you, not myself | 08:35 |
| UweBollsFunder | what are the differences between Ubuntu Server and Debian? From what I know of Ubuntu, it's Debian with a focus on desktop usage and services. In a server version, what still makes it different? | 08:36 |
| greppy | UweBollsFunder: the packages and the versions | 08:37 |
| greppy | UweBollsFunder: also, if you use one of the LTS versions, it will be maintained longer than a typical debian version | 08:38 |

| Osmosis | do you understand | 09:09 |
| pLr | Osmosis: enlish trouble? | 09:09 |
| Osmosis | what is enlish? | 09:10 |
| pLr | Osmosis: you can try ssh server dpkg -i filename | 09:10 |
| Osmosis | no, is not a human who do this, is a ruby script that i create to install this software atumaticly for scale servers | 09:11 |
| twermund | spidersteps: do the applications not work, or do the packages just not install? | 09:11 |

| Osmosis | is better than puppet but yeah is the same concept | 09:11 |
| twermund | spidersteps, are you suing Synaptic or Software Center? | 09:12 |
| spidersteps | what..? | 09:12 |
| pLr | Osmosis: you can use dpkg to install .deb files in your ruby script | 09:12 |
| twermund | hah, what program did you use to install WINE etc | 09:12 |
| pLr | Osmosis: what is your problem? | 09:12 |
| Osmosis | already do | 09:12 |
| spidersteps | synaptic, i think :S | 09:13 |
| Osmosis | ok imagine when you install an aplication that in the middle of the aplication, a color screen apears and you need to accept the disclamer, and another things | 09:13 |
| Osmosis | you need a human that tab into the ok button and follow with the instalatiob | 09:13 |
| Osmosis | but in my case is a script in a mainframe that send a bootstrap to another nodes to install remotely this software | 09:14 |
| Osmosis | a syslog | 09:14 |
| greppy | Osmosis: I think you may be better served asking this in a chef channel or mailing list. | 09:14 |

| cmyk | I use the netbook 10.04.1 edition | 09:25 |
| mick02 | Dems was jokes nias ... that's not my password at all! | 09:26 |
| je | who can tell me how can i see my friend list? I am using xchat. | 09:26 |
| cmyk | jeez, this is like really basic: I install software, and should be prompted where to I'd like to put the start icon or whatever. Instead it just puts it somewhere and doesn't tell you about it. | 09:26 |
| greppy | cmyk: is it not under applications? | 09:27 |
| cmyk | there is no applications thing | 09:27 |
| cmyk | it's the netbook desktop | 09:27 |
| bodwick | hello, recent update broke may kde, i can't install any kde dependant app, please help! | 09:27 |
| cmyk | it's divided into categories and you have to guess where it put it in, but this time it didn't put it anywhere. no start icon for acro | 09:28 |
| cmyk | this is ridiculous | 09:28 |
| zaidka | hi. since maverick RC, im not able to connect to Google Talk in Empathy. someone help me please? | 09:30 |
| bodwick | hello, recent update broke may kde, i can't install any kde dependant app, please help! | 09:30 |
| twermund | CMYK: sorry about the wait, it should be under "office" in the leftmost sidebar | 09:31 |
| cmyk | nope, it's not twermund | 09:31 |
| cmyk | it's nowhere to be found, albeit it says it's installed in the package manger | 09:32 |
| tensorpudding | zaidka: maverick is supported in #ubuntu+1 | 09:32 |
| cmyk | I'm going postal in a second. | 09:32 |
| zaidka | tensorpudding: thanks. will ask thee | 09:32 |
| cmyk | why must this be so friggin hard? | 09:32 |
| cmyk | can't it just work? | 09:33 |
| twermund | I just tried to recreate your scenario | 09:33 |
| twermund | definitely showing up for me under office.. | 09:33 |
| bodwick | hello, recent update broke may kde, i can't install any kde dependant app, please help! | 09:33 |
| twermund | are you using Unity? | 09:33 |
| cmyk | maybe it's because I have the swiss german lang setting and the german version of acro | 09:33 |
| tensorpudding | cmyk: most packages install an icon in the GNOME menu somewhere, are you sure you don't see it? | 09:33 |
| cmyk | tensorpudding: I don't even have a gnome menu | 09:34 |
| tensorpudding | oh, netbook edition | 09:34 |
| cmyk | I just have this useless netbook desktop | 09:34 |
| tensorpudding | i'm not sure how that one handles it | 09:34 |
| cmyk | right :) | 09:34 |
| cmyk | jeez, easypeasy my ass | 09:34 |
| twermund | do you have any other applications open presently, or are you just looking at the selection screen? | 09:34 |
| cmyk | twermund: you talking to me? | 09:35 |
| tensorpudding | there is a gnome menu | 09:35 |
| cmyk | oh | 09:35 |
| ljsoftnet | can i apply my metacity theme Clearlooks-compact to AWN "Yet Another Menu Applet"? | 09:35 |
| twermund | cmyk: yup | 09:35 |
| rurufufuss | guys, is there a list somewhere of non-compatible nvidia cards for ubuntu lucid? | 09:35 |
| tensorpudding | it just looks different | 09:35 |
| cmyk | i have the file browser and the software center open | 09:35 |
| rurufufuss | or, even better, list of compatible cards | 09:35 |
| twermund | cmyk: did you click the top-leftmost icon on your desktop? | 09:35 |
| Kartagis | I'm trying to add a news server account to thunderbird. the address is news.sabanciuniv.edu but as soon as I type u at the end, the Next button is grayed out. any thoughts? | 09:35 |
| cmyk | twermund: in the top left menu I got the citrus logo from easypeasy, you mean that? | 09:36 |
| twermund | cmyk: yup | 09:36 |
| cmyk | yeah, of course I clicked that | 09:36 |
| cmyk | it shows you the netbook desktop | 09:37 |
| tensorpudding | actually now that i think of it, i don't think acrobat reader puts an icon in that menu | 09:37 |
| cmyk | it's not in any of those categories | 09:37 |
| tensorpudding | they don't put evince there either | 09:37 |
| tensorpudding | try opening a PDF file | 09:38 |
| twermund | cmyk: have you tried uninstalling it and then re installing it? | 09:38 |
| cmyk | okay I'll rephrase my question: How do I get the Icon into the netbook desktop, the genius installed didn't put it there? | 09:38 |
| cmyk | ups... my typing sucks today | 09:38 |
| tensorpudding | it should be listed as one of the choices for Open With... | 09:38 |
| cmyk | i'll try. makes no sense tho | 09:38 |
| twermund | meh, sounds like it just had a hiccup when adding it to the NBR desktop | 09:39 |
| ljsoftnet | can i apply my Clearlooks-compact control theme to AWN "Yet Another Menu Applet"? | 09:39 |
| greppy | cmyk: I haven't used the netbook version, but can you right click on the desktop and hit create launcher? | 09:39 |
| cmyk | oh, it seems to more hickups than anything else. | 09:39 |
| twermund | cmyk: yeah, next week they are rolling out Unity which makes a lot more sense. | 09:39 |
| tensorpudding | ah! evince is put on Graphics | 09:39 |
| cmyk | evince is incapable | 09:40 |
| tensorpudding | and there is a launcher created but it is not shown by default | 09:40 |
| tensorpudding | so maybe acrobat reader gets the same treatment | 09:40 |
| cmyk | look, i cannot right click the darn desktop or whatever you call that flash-piece of garb | 09:41 |
| cmyk | I can just change the background, lol | 09:41 |
| beny | hello | 09:41 |
| tensorpudding | Is there an "Edit Menu" option when you right-click the easy-peasy menu? | 09:41 |
| kwork | can you use ext4 has boot partition? | 09:41 |
| kwork | as* | 09:41 |
| tensorpudding | you can | 09:42 |
| cmyk | tensorpudding: nope | 09:42 |
| tensorpudding | but if you have a separate boot partition there isn't really any point | 09:42 |
| kwork | tensorpudding my worry is will grub be able to handle it nothing else actualy | 09:42 |
| kwork | but i guess grub doesnot care what filesystem it is | 09:43 |
| beny | is ther any tools from bt that i can use for network monitoring?? i'm a newbie for backtrack.. | 09:43 |
| tensorpudding | kwork: when you install with no separate boot partition, grub works fine, so i'm thinking that grub can work with all the common linux filesystems | 09:45 |
| cmyk | a channel full of linux buff can't tell me how to start acrobat once it's installed? | 09:45 |
| tensorpudding | i didn't think that easypeasy was officially supported in here | 09:45 |
| shyamgai | cmyk: Have you tried gnome-open <pdf-file>? | 09:45 |
| cmyk | "Super-fast and great-looking, Ubuntu is a secure, intuitive operating system that powers desktops, servers, netbooks and laptops." < riiight | 09:46 |
| shyamgai | Assuming you are running gnome desktop. | 09:46 |
| tensorpudding | more likely that not gnome-open would open it using evince | 09:46 |
| cmyk | tensorpudding: it's the same as the ubuntu netbook | 09:46 |
| cmyk | it's looks exactly the same except for the darn citrus icon | 09:46 |
| tensorpudding | Is it? It has its own website. | 09:46 |
| cmyk | it is | 09:47 |
| cmyk | i had problem installing both versions since, they left out to tell you that you have to set you hd bios settings to IDE compatible mode | 09:47 |
| cmyk | otherwise the installed on the usb flash wouldn't even see the hd | 09:48 |
| tensorpudding | they probably can't anticipate all hardware variations | 09:49 |
| cmyk | that was pretty basic | 09:49 |
| cmyk | very basic | 09:49 |
| cmyk | ha, uninstall, reinstall, and the launch icon is in office | 09:50 |
| cmyk | magic | 09:50 |
| tensorpudding | that is werid | 09:50 |
| twermund | :D | 09:50 |
| tensorpudding | weird* | 09:50 |
| twermund | nice to hear | 09:50 |
| cmyk | oh and restart, don't forge that | 09:50 |
| twermund | ha, stuff happens | 09:50 |
| tensorpudding | i'm glad i never have to use the menu | 09:51 |
| cmyk | my nerves had enough linux for the day, I'll go back to free bsd | 09:51 |

| Falsette | So, would you guys consider Ubuntu a good place to start for someone who has only worked with Windows and Mac OS's? | 09:51 |
| kwork | Falsette for sure | 09:52 |
| tensorpudding | Ubuntu isn't just a training wheels distro, it is useful for gurus too. | 09:52 |
| twermund | Falsette: unless you want all the bells of whistles of OS X mixed with Ubuntu http://http://pinguy-os.sourceforge.net/ | 09:53 |
| cmyk | Falsette: stay with mac os for god's sake! | 09:53 |
| Leroy | Falsette: go dark, scrap it all. forget what you know. | 09:54 |
| cmyk | hehe | 09:54 |
| plovs | Falsette i use osx and ubuntu and ubntu isa nice place to start, it is a linux distro that mostly just works, and if not it is easy to find help to make things work | 09:54 |

| tensorpudding | oxidkor: if there is no ./configure file, you might need to run autoconf first. | 09:56 |
| oxidkor | tensorpudding: how could I do that? | 09:56 |
| tensorpudding | oxidkor: This isn't the channel for "i need to compile X from source plz help" kinds of questions | 09:56 |
| venky10 | Hi. I need some help with grub.cfg. I'm using Lucid with stock kernel (2.6.32) on VirtualBox. I downloaded, compiled and installed 2.6.36 kernel. I generated initrd image as well and updated grub. When I select the new kernel upon starup, it throws up a few errors saying that 'init' is not available and drops to the initramfs prompt.

| cdwillis | i accidentally formatted my home partition on my new install and switched from fat32 to ext4, is any of my data recoverable? | 10:26 |
| cdwillis | *ntfs to ext4, sorry | 10:26 |
| BinaryMan | okay, so I turned on my laptop after putting it into hibernate. I have a LUKS+LVM2 partition on my laptop. It kept dropping me to a busybox shell after booting. | 10:27 |
| carlotolinero | it seems that im having difficulties in empathy specially i cant see all your names. who is online or whos im gonna gp private chat with. any suggestion? | 10:27 |
| xuekan | cdwillis:yes,it's recoverable. | 10:27 |
| ikonia | cdwillis: no - it's not | 10:27 |
| amikrop | Ububegin: ok, so how do I downgrade the kernel? | 10:27 |
| BinaryMan | so I booted from a 10.04, unlocked the LUKS partition, and proceeded to mount my lvm2 volume. | 10:27 |
| BinaryMan | and the livecd couldn't. originally, it didn't recognize the volume as ext4 | 10:28 |
| cdwillis | ikonia: i figured that changing the file system type would prevent any recovery, thanks | 10:28 |

| BinaryMan | and when it was done and I could mount the volume. | 10:28 |
| Ububegin | amikrop: beats me dude.. I cant even get past the Acer boot screen... Think I will ask the tech guys on Monday... They have all gone back... | 10:28 |

| BinaryMan | every single file and folder on my computer was renamed to the inode number it corresponded to and stuck in the lost+found folder. | 10:29 |
| BinaryMan | halp pl0x! | 10:29 |
| carlotolinero | any one not busy today :P | 10:29 |
| Ububegin | amikrop: cant u change the grub.. so that the default bootup uses the older kernel.. | 10:29 |
| amikrop | Ububegin: how? | 10:29 |
| Ububegin | amikrop: use LiveCD.. and access the HD | 10:30 |
| teolicy | Hi. I've just a double disk failure on my home server (mdadm/RAID5). I didn't touch anything, for fear of worsening the case, other than stopping anything I could think of that was writing to the filesystem. | 10:30 |
| carlotolinero | pls respond to my msg so that i know that you guys aare recieving my chars :) | 10:31 |
| teolicy | If someone has the relevant mdadm-fu and would like to help (I'm no newbie myself), I'd be happy for your suggestions on what to do now. | 10:31 |
| teolicy | dmesg is, as expected, full of errors re sdd/sdc. | 10:31 |
| Ububegin | amikrop: It shld work, i suppose.. What do u think ? | 10:31 |
| BinaryMan | teolicy: 2+ disk failures on RAID5? you screwed. | 10:31 |
| carlotolinero | pls respond. :( | 10:31 |
| amikrop | Ububegin: yes. thanks | 10:31 |
| seidos | carlotolinero, i see you. | 10:32 |
| dwarder | with this .fonts.conf http://pastebin.com/remP9ECY i have this sort of fonts in my Firefox http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4951/fflinux.png . Is it possible to change my .fonts.conf so that this fonts look like this http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/570/ffwindows.png | 10:32 |
| carlotolinero | thanks. thought im still hving problems. | 10:32 |
| teolicy | BinaryMan: Yes, well, two disks failing EXACTLY at the same time is a bit weird, no? How about it's just an interface problem, and I reboot the server and everything will be fine? | 10:32 |
| teolicy | (these are brand new less than one month old 2TB WD's) | 10:32 |
| BinaryMan | teolicty: my LUKS+LVM2 decided to die on me tonight. after running fsck, everything has been moved into /lost+found | 10:32 |
| tensorpudding | gah | 10:32 |
| tensorpudding | amikrop keeps parting just as i'm about to talk to him | 10:33 |
| seidos | carlotolinero, just ask your question. | 10:33 |
| xev | can I boot to console only? without getting to ubuntu login? | 10:33 |
| BinaryMan | teolicy: if it's not actual drive failures, try rebooting. | 10:33 |
| carlotolinero | seidos: hey bro im having difficulties here at empathy. seems i cant view yournames | 10:33 |
| jrib | xev: why? | 10:33 |
| tensorpudding | xev: you can disable gdm from starting | 10:33 |
| teolicy | BinaryMan: I'm still working under the assumption it's not really drive failures, it's just that I don't want to lose useful things I may have in my buffer cache right now. | 10:33 |
| banksy | #mythtv | 10:33 |
| BinaryMan | teolicy: i'm booted in via a live CD and i'll probably be in here all night backing up everything up to my external hard drive. | 10:33 |
| seidos | carlotolinero, you can try another irc client. perhaps xchat will work for you. | 10:33 |
| bazhang | !nox | xev | 10:33 |
| ubottu | xev: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 10:33 |
| teolicy | For example, maybe a dumpe2fs now would be useful. | 10:33 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody..is there any alternative to gnome do? I see that latest release is 1 year old | 10:33 |
| BinaryMan | teolicy: can you force a reboot? that should properly clear the buffer cache, but let me double check before you do. | 10:34 |
| teolicy | BinaryMan: This is a 4x2TB RAID... I /can't/ back it up... Not enough media! | 10:34 |
| teolicy | BinaryMan: I probably WANT what's in the buffer cache... ugh... never mind. | 10:34 |
| === om26er_ is now known as om26er | ||
| xev | tensorpudding, how do i add list in grub menu..? | 10:34 |
| BinaryMan | sucks doesn't it? | 10:34 |
| carlotolinero | thanks seidos. i think a have change my client. thanks for your suggestions | 10:35 |
| seidos | carlotolinero, good luck | 10:35 |
| Resnik | anyone got some spare time to help me with iptables? | 10:35 |
| tensorpudding | xev: did you check that link that was given to you? | 10:35 |
| xev | yes | 10:35 |
| jrib | Resnik: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 10:35 |
| xev | tensorpudding, so i'm using GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=text | 10:36 |
| BinaryMan | teolicy: yes, and it should be written first. | 10:36 |
| Test17 | hey i have a printer i need to share to windows clients frmo ubuntu | 10:36 |
| teolicy | BinaryMan: Exactly, I want the data there. | 10:36 |
| xev | but I what i want is .. different menu.. 1 for normal and another one is for console | 10:37 |
| Test17 | i can see it in 'available printers' in cups but im not sure where to go from here | 10:37 |
| tensorpudding | xev: i'm not sure how you'd do that | 10:37 |
| tensorpudding | xev: probably need to read the grub 2 docs | 10:38 |
| xev | ohh | 10:38 |
| xev | yes.. I'm using grub2 | 10:38 |
| xev | /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=text | 10:38 |
| xev | update-grub | 10:38 |
| xev | but what i want now.. is add another menu | 10:39 |
| carlotolinero | whats the best client for now? :) im still new to ubuntu | 10:39 |
| glebihan | xev: you can do that by editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom and putting your custom grub entry there | 10:39 |
| virtudelivros_ | olá bom dia a todos | 10:40 |
| xev | glebihan, ok.. thanks :) | 10:40 |
| virtudelivros_ | se algm puder me ajudar por favor não consigo fazer upgrade no ubuntu 10.10 | 10:40 |
| jrib | !pt | virtudelivros_ | 10:40 |
| ubottu | virtudelivros_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 10:40 |
| glebihan | xev: you'll need to run grub-update again afterwards | 10:40 |
| xev | glebihan, it's possible to add a new menu with some services stop? | 10:42 |
| xev | because what I need is.. 1 for normal boot.. and another is for console. | 10:42 |
| Resnik | i would like to set in iptables that i can connect from work on port 3389 to my ubuntu server, and that would be redirected to my home ip on port 61000, how can i do that? | 10:42 |
| glebihan | xev: grub does not control the services that start, however the "text" option you mentioned earlier should take you to the console | 10:42 |
| xev | glebihan, because everytime I log to console i need to kill networkmanager to use my wireless.. | 10:44 |
| DrHack | hello all... | 10:44 |
| Test17 | when i try to add a printer shared it says on my windows pc 'the server does not have the correct printer driver installed' | 10:44 |
| carlotolinero | DrHack: Hello | 10:44 |
| xev | so, i think if anyway to automaticly stop the networkmanager service "if I log to console" and start when I log back to GDM | 10:44 |
| DrHack | i need to install the c headers for my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system. | 10:44 |
| DrHack | the result of uname -a is: Linux 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.028stab068.5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 15 19:26:36 MSK 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 10:45 |
| bogdomania | cheers guys.. any ideea why i get this while trying to start nautilus manually? symbol lookup error: nautilus: undefined symbol: g_application_get_type | 10:45 |
| glebihan | xev: I guess you could edit /etc/init/network-manager.conf and add an option to prevent ir from starting if the text option is passed to the kernel | 10:45 |
| xev | glebihan, ok..thanks.. i'm going to try it.. | 10:46 |
| glebihan | xev: maybe it's /etc/init.d/network-manager that needs to be edited | 10:47 |
| carlotolinero | @everyone: whats your irc client? suggestions please. im using empathy. | 10:48 |
| xev | carlotolinero, irssi = terminal, and xchat | 10:48 |
| DrHack | anyone? | 10:48 |
| lorenzocabrini | carlotolinero: irssi | 10:48 |
| greppy | carlotolinero: irssi | 10:49 |
| teolicy | Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I realized what happened: last night I added a disk to the server, I forgot to re-attach the powerline to ALL the fans (it's a 14 disk server...). I friggin cooked m data! | 10:49 |
| teolicy | OMG, I can't believe this happened to me. | 10:49 |
| carlotolinero | xev;lorenzocabrini;greppy: thanks. ill switch to that client | 10:50 |
| xev | carlotolinero, good luck :) | 10:50 |
| knolls | teolicy: that's terrible... | 10:50 |
| greppy | carlotolinero: you may want to take a look at http://irssi.org | 10:50 |
| teolicy | knolls: thanks for the sympathy... :-( | 10:50 |
| DrHack | is anyone able to give me a hand? | 10:51 |
| carlotolinero | greppy:thanks! | 10:51 |
| knolls | teolicy: i was sitting here praying this old external drive will keep my 100gb of music safe, and you just lost the whole fleet- was enough of it backed up? | 10:51 |
| dwarder | does visual tool exist to manage .fonts.conf? | 10:52 |
| dwarder | gui tool | 10:52 |
| jrib | dwarder: system -> preferences -> appearance -> ... -> fonts | 10:53 |
| dwarder | jrib: it doesn't apply for firefox, but .fonts.conf does | 10:53 |
| jrib | dwarder: are you sure? | 10:53 |
| dwarder | jrib: absolutely | 10:53 |
| jrib | dwarder: I am pretty sure it does... | 10:53 |
| jrib | dwarder: note you need to restart apps after making changes probably | 10:54 |
| dwarder | jrib: are you able to set firefox not to use AA at all? | 10:54 |
| jrib | dwarder: if you have a .fonts.conf it may override settings as well | 10:54 |
| dwarder | jrib: with this .fonts.conf http://pastebin.com/remP9ECY i have this sort of fonts in my Firefox http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4951/fflinux.png . Is it possible to change my .fonts.conf so that this fonts look like this http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/570/ffwindows.png | 10:55 |
| Rohanc | hai | 10:55 |
| jrib | dwarder: I don't know | 10:55 |
| g4tsu | Hi | 10:56 |
| Rohanc | can anyone help me to update to latest version of inkscape? I've 0.47.0.. i want to update it to 0.48.0 | 10:56 |
| g4tsu | Could somebody tells me if remastersys keeps root data ? | 10:56 |
| teolicy | knolls: The reason I changed a disk in my server was to setup my cool new disaster recovery server with the critical data... | 10:56 |
| teolicy | (after the old disaster recovery server, a Pentium III with two PATA 250GB disks, died) | 10:57 |
| teolicy | I so can't believe this happened. | 10:57 |
| teolicy | I'm cooling it down now, I hope I'll be able to get the data out. | 10:57 |
| teolicy | My wife and I just came back from a long trip, I have 100GB of photos on that server! | 10:57 |
| DrHack | is anyone able to give me a hand? | 10:58 |
| knolls | teolicy: i know first hand that either i'm lucky, or hard drives can get pretty hot without it being as dangerous as i've read online | 10:58 |
| sid | when i try to boot ubuntu 10.04 it gives message mount of filesystem failed CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and retry | 10:58 |
| sid | snd gives prompt | 10:58 |
| teolicy | As it happens, I used to work for a SAN startup which was acquired by IBM. I wasn't in the area of the disks (more software), but in a small company, you hear things. | 11:00 |
| teolicy | Heat /is/ as bad as they make it out to be, and luck has a lot to do with everything when it comes to mechanical HDDs. | 11:00 |
| teolicy | Reducing 5 degrees from your HDD can really make it live longer. 10 degrees far longer. | 11:00 |
| knolls | well i am lucky then | 11:00 |
| knolls | oh | 11:01 |
| teolicy | If you disks are at 40, they're too hot. I BROUGHT MINE TO 70. Ouch. | 11:01 |
| knolls | i should add a fan somewhere in this case | 11:01 |
| teolicy | (celsius, of course) | 11:01 |

| aubrey | Anyway to speed up scrolling and graphics in Xubuntu ? | 11:01 |
| aubrey | esp. scrolling in web browser. | 11:01 |
| SmokeyD | hey everyone, is there a keyboard shortcut or command or something I could use to display all non-minimized windows side by side? | 11:01 |
| carlotolinero | i downloaded the IRSSI but it seems icant see the client. can any one help me out(im new here sorry) | 11:01 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: you should be able to get it by adding ppa:ricotz/ppa to your software sources | 11:02 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: btw did you solve your issues yesterday ? | 11:02 |
| knolls | teolicy: i guess i'll fix something tomorrow | 11:02 |
| knolls | night :] | 11:02 |
| knolls | good luck teolicy | 11:02 |
| aubrey | how can a dual core w. nvidia 512mb gpx feel sluggish with xubuntu ? its weird ... | 11:02 |
| Dragon64 | do you have the nvidia drivers loaded? | 11:03 |
| teolicy | Cheers, good night. | 11:03 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: thanks buddy, yes I did sort out yesterday's issue.. I dont know really how I did it.. rebooted the system and then it asked me to update some files | 11:03 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: how did u find that ppa of inkscape? i can't get one from launchpad.net | 11:04 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: it was mentioned on inkscape's page on launchpad | 11:04 |
| Dragon64 | aubrey -- u have the nvidia drivers loaded? | 11:05 |
| Dragon64 | may seem sluggish without it | 11:05 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: "Other versions of 'inkscape' in untrusted archives." on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape | 11:05 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, yes i have | 11:05 |
| aubrey | 256.53 version | 11:06 |
| Dragon64 | the ubuntu supplied one, or from the nvidia site, it freq makes a difference | 11:06 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, freq. what/how ? | 11:06 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: similarly I want to know the ppa of gimp app? is this the correct page of inkscape on launchpad? - https://launchpad.net/inkscape | 11:06 |
| Dragon64 | seems to me there are also some options in nvidia setup that can make a huge difference, one sec | 11:06 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, much appreciated, i compared to Windows XP and Windows 7 on this same machine, and the difference in speed is huge | 11:07 |
| Dragon64 | im sure | 11:07 |
| aubrey | both ubuntu and xubuntu | 11:07 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, so the linux nvidia drivers are inferior to the windows ? | 11:08 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: I'm really confused, where did u find the PPA? I couldn't see either here - https://launchpad.net/inkscape or here - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape | 11:08 |
| Dragon64 | did you use ones from nvidia site, or supplied drivers? | 11:08 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: there doesn't seem to be a ppa for gimp | 11:09 |
| aubrey | i use the propertiary drivers | 11:09 |
| aubrey | so it must be nvidia | 11:09 |
| Dragon64 | k | 11:09 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, wait, i used synaptic to install them | 11:09 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, i didnt manually download from nvidia | 11:09 |
| dwarder | does gui tool exist to manage .fonts.conf | 11:09 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: at the bottom of the page on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape click on "Other versions of 'inkscape' in untrusted archives. " | 11:09 |
| Dragon64 | ok there ya go | 11:10 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, ok, how do you mean ? | 11:10 |
| Dragon64 | first off uninstall them, then get the driver from nvidia | 11:10 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, ok | 11:10 |
| Dragon64 | makes a world of difference | 11:10 |
| carlotolinero | ok nga e | 11:10 |
| carlotolinero | oooops wrong send | 11:10 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, its difficult to install them prop. nvidia drivers manually ? | 11:10 |
| Dragon64 | also i see a bunch of complaints on google about slow nvidia performance, should be able to get some help there | 11:11 |
| Dragon64 | nope | 11:11 |
| Dragon64 | usually its a .bin file | 11:11 |
| abe3k | hello, anyone having an issue with gnome-screensaver when lock screen is active ? | 11:11 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: oh yes found gimp ppa: ppa:grumbel/gimp | 11:11 |
| Dragon64 | set the properties so it will be executeable | 11:11 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, ok, double click i guess .. | 11:11 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: thank you I got it now.. so I have to check " https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ " instead of https://launchpad.net/ to find a ppa right? | 11:11 |
| Dragon64 | and then kick it off | 11:11 |
| aubrey | Dragon64, thanks for your help ! | 11:11 |
| Dragon64 | np | 11:11 |
| jrib | Dragon64: the nvidia drivers the Hardware Drivers program provides are the same as the drivers from nvidia | 11:12 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: well usually to find a ppa, I either go to a project's page or make a search for "packagename ppa" on launchpad | 11:12 |
| matclayton | Does anyone know how to upgrade apache to the latest version 2.2.16 on ubuntu 9.10? its not available in apt and the configure/make/install setup puts everything in strange places | 11:12 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: ok.. hmm.. so it is not enough to search "packagename" on launchpad? that's all i did so far... | 11:13 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: better to add the "ppa" keyword | 11:13 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Is there a decent file explorer? | 11:14 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: nautilus? | 11:14 |
| JoeCoolDesk | No, a decent one. | 11:14 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: obviously, you need to be more specific as to why you think nautilus isn't decent... | 11:15 |
| greppy | JoeCoolDesk: what features make a file manager "decent" to you? | 11:15 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: and thanks for input on this.. and one more thing I've installed ubuntu on my windows 7 machine using wubi .. i'm really getting black screens now and then.. do u think installing inside windows 7 is the main problem? | 11:15 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Something that can keep up with Win7 or OS X, instead of XP | 11:15 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: "specific" | 11:15 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: I wouldn't know, I've never used wubi... maybe somebody else would be more helpful on this | 11:16 |
| JoeCoolDesk | More organization options, libraries, etc. | 11:16 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Better interface | 11:16 |
| JoeCoolDesk | More integrated networking | 11:16 |
| abe3k | heres the solution for the lock screen issue http://quinnmadson.blogspot.com/2010/07/gnome-screensaver-missing-lock-screen.html | 11:16 |
| zetheroo | what is the command to take ownership of all folders and subfolders and files in a directory? | 11:17 |
| jrib | zetheroo: what directory? | 11:17 |
| greppy | zetheroo: chown -R username:usergroup directory | 11:17 |
| jrib | zetheroo: changing ownership recursively on the wrong files can break your system | 11:17 |
| zetheroo | jrib: directories on my second hard drive | 11:18 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: no problem, hey I got another doubt on packages - at the bottom of the page - https://launchpad.net/inkscape i see different packages named squeeze, maverick, lucid, karmic,lenny etc.. which one do i have to choose? | 11:18 |
| zetheroo | jrib: nothing that I should not have ownership to :) | 11:18 |
| zetheroo | greppy: is that the best way to change everything on a hard drive in one go? | 11:19 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: I guess you're running lucid (10.04) so choose lucid packages, if unsure use the "lsb_release -a" command and check the Codename | 11:19 |
| greppy | zetheroo: pretty much, yeah. | 11:20 |
| greppy | zetheroo: 'man chown' will give you some more info on the command | 11:20 |
| zetheroo | greppy: would I do sudo chown -R username:usergroup /media/main ... "main" being where my hdd is mounted!? | 11:20 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Because honestly, jrib, Nautalis is stuck in 2004. | 11:20 |
| greppy | zetheroo: yeah | 11:20 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: k | 11:20 |
| JoeCoolDesk | R | 11:20 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: yes indeed I'm running Lucid, so according to this page - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape I'm running the latest version | 11:21 |
| JoeCoolDesk | So how are there any decent file managers out? | 11:21 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: you still haven't told us exactly what you are looking for... | 11:22 |
| JoeCoolDesk | I just did. | 11:22 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: yes you are running the latest official build of inkscape for lucid... that's why you need to use ppas if you want a more recent version | 11:22 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: no, you just make general statements. I have no clue what you are looking for | 11:22 |
| JoeCoolDesk | jrib, More organization options, libraries, Better interface,m etc. In general more like Win7 | 11:22 |
| prodigel | hi all. I have a strange problem: suddenly my laptop pad scroll doesn't work. I did a software update earlier but I doubt that has affected it. Can I test my pad functionalities somehow? | 11:22 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: I read this | 11:23 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: another way would be to compile the sources of the latest version | 11:23 |
| greppy | JoeCoolDesk: have you looked at the plugins available for nautilus? | 11:23 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: unlike windows - this ubuntu releases are so confusing to me .. why is that official inkscape website didn't state any of this? So actually u mean PPA's are not supported by official developments? | 11:23 |
| JoeCoolDesk | No, greppy. | 11:23 |
| lorenzocabrini | JoeCoolDesk: I don't know how the Win7 file works, but zsh, mc and rox-filer all work fine for me... | 11:24 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: well this is mentioned on inkscape's page because it's the way things work for most packages | 11:24 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Jrib, That's because I like to leave options open, I';m not discounting anything if it can make up for it. Use your opinions/ judgment | 11:24 |
| Nirkus | hi! interesting question (ubuntu): how do i tell ubuntu to bring up an interface with IPv6 autoconfiguration only using /etc/network/interfaces? | 11:24 |
| greppy | JoeCoolDesk: apt-cache search nautilus may be able to get you pointed in the direction you want to go | 11:24 |
| Nirkus | (ubuntu 10.04) | 11:24 |
| tgywa | Hi ...how to list SASL as a trusted mechanism ? | 11:25 |
| jrib | JoeCoolDesk: I just use a shell for file management | 11:25 |
| Rohanc | glebihan: Yes, I tried and failed to compile the sources of latest version, I've download .bz2 file of latest inkscape 0.48.0 and extracted to my downloads folder and failed at commands in terminal | 11:25 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: and you're right, ppa stands for "Personal package archive" and they're not officially supported | 11:25 |
| Nirkus | or do i need to leave it out of /etc/network/interface so networkmanager takes over? | 11:25 |

| Rohanc | jrib: so just leave it alone in latest stable version at 0.47 for Ubuntu Lucid? than trying to update to 0.48 ? | 11:58 |
| glebihan | Rohanc: this should provide all the needed libraries | 11:58 |
| jrib | Rohanc: yes... unless you have some really good reason not to. And in that case you, should probably see if inkscape has a repository setup somewhere | 11:58 |

| david00 | Hi. I have a remote server running Hardy, it has a network card which was not supported by Hardy. Last time I ran dist-upgrade the kernel module for the network card, which was manually installed before, was not there after rebooting into the new kernel. This meant I had to call the hosting company. Is there any way to tell which cards (PCI IDs) are supported by an update before installing it? | 12:08 |
| dwarder | anyone has better non untilised looking fonts than mine http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4951/fflinux.png | 12:09 |
| david00 | l | 12:13 |
| david00 | oops ;) | 12:13 |
| david00 | how come this channel is so quiet? My question used to scroll off the screen 2 seconds after I typed it | 12:14 |
| greppy | david00: it's been pretty consistant this morning. | 12:14 |
| magnetron | david00: any manually compiled kernel modules will be invalid when you upgrade the kernel | 12:14 |
| sburjan | hello. i have a hard question. Can someone tell me why OpenOffice that comes with Ubuntu doesn;t have it's own Environment variable ? like office.home .. where is the binary ? | 12:14 |
| magnetron | david00: either you recompile manually after each kernel update, or you set up DKMS to do this automatically | 12:15 |
| sim642 | Whats with the countdown scripts not working on Ubuntu site? The images dont show up (and on my site either). | 12:15 |
| david00 | magnetron: yes, that's what happened before. I think support for this card might be backported to the new ubuntu kernel releases, though. | 12:15 |
| david00 | magnetron: So I want to find out if it *has* been backported or not before upgrading. | 12:15 |
| ravenheart | Hi, i bought a new mouse today, a razer imperator, but my computer wont start if the mouse is plugged, if i plug it later, there is no problem... what is going wrong? | 12:16 |
| magnetron | david00: each kernel update in ubuntu has a changelog attached to it, i usually read it in the update manager | 12:16 |
| magnetron | david00: i think you could just grep for your chipset name | 12:16 |
| tensorpudding | sburjan: The binary is probably in /usr/bin/ooffice | 12:16 |
| david00 | magnetron: cheers. are modules generally contained in linux-ubuntu-modules package? | 12:16 |
| tensorpudding | sburjan: actually, that file is a script which runs /usr/lib/openoffice/programs/soffice | 12:17 |
| sburjan | yes, but if a program wants to start OO server, using System.getProperty("office.home") will fail. because there is no ENV var | 12:17 |
| ljsoftnet | can i change the Avant Window Manager > "Yet Another Menu Applet" look?, just wanted to go for a compact one | 12:18 |
| magnetron | david00: no, many are contained in the current linux-image package | 12:18 |
| tensorpudding | sburjan: Is setting this environment variable supposed to be portable? | 12:18 |
| sburjan | well.. it would be utopic to have an universal env var of OO on all OSes | 12:19 |
| sburjan | this will ensure a greater portability from platform to platform | 12:19 |
| david00 | cheers magnetron :) | 12:19 |
| magnetron | david00: do you know which chipset/driver name applies to your network card? | 12:20 |
| sburjan | now I don;t know if this is a Ubuntu thing, or OO installer doesnt create this | 12:20 |
| bazhang | sburjan, perhaps try #openoffice.org as well | 12:20 |
| tensorpudding | sburjan: Generally speaking, the binary should be in PATH | 12:20 |
| vinnie_ | is there a log file somewhere that i can check to see exactly what time my computer was rebooted? I came home 10 minutes ago to a rebooted machine. | 12:20 |
| greppy | vinnie_: you could check /var/log/messages | 12:21 |
| david00 | magnetron, yes, it's intel e1000e | 12:21 |
| sburjan | tensorpudding: I have only 3 lines in PATH, none related to Open Office | 12:21 |
| ravenheart | anyone an idea for me? | 12:21 |
| vinnie_ | greppy: what exact text should i look for? | 12:21 |
| greppy | vinnie_: look for services starting | 12:22 |
| tensorpudding | sburjan: They don't have OpenOffice in the name, but there is a script which runs OpenOffice in /usr/bin, which is always in $PATH | 12:22 |

| giannis | hello! i installed ubuntu with encypted Home directory but now it can't perfom auto login. is that a problem? | 12:29 |
| gaelfx | cptblod: you might try some googlefu on the old "HDMI audio out NVidia Ubuntu" tune | 12:29 |
| greppy | giannis: what's the point of an encrypted home dir if you have auto login? | 12:29 |
| gaelfx | but I'm not getting my hopes up, personally | 12:29 |
| cptblod | well, i've seen others getting it to work? | 12:30 |
| mukk0boy | hi. i have a problem which my laptop, i've installed ubuntu in my compaq and now the wi-fi switch buttom doesn't respond anymore. | 12:30 |
| SexyNexy | anyone good with theming here? | 12:30 |
| iceroot | greppy: encrypted / for that you have to enter a passwort on boot | 12:31 |
| magnetron | ravenheart: i've seen some BIOS trying to use the mouse as a boot device if you have enabled "boot from USB" in the bios | 12:31 |
| gaelfx | cptblod: you have a url for that? it might be doable by uninstalling pulse and installing the lastest ALSA, I know they were working on it | 12:31 |
| ilovefaeries | hello | 12:31 |
| magnetron | ravenheart: which will obviously not work :D | 12:31 |
| giannis | greppy: i don't want to be stolen data from other ways...like hdd stolen or within internet. but only me i use the desktop. is there any solution to have autologin? | 12:32 |
| gaelfx | cptblod: by the way, I don't suppose you have VDPAU working on your box? | 12:32 |
| greppy | iceroot: right, but why try to do that and have auto login, it kind of defeats the purpose. | 12:32 |
| greppy | giannis: if someone steals the hdd, and you have autologin, they just have to plug it in to a computer | 12:32 |
| ravenheart | magnetron: on the other hand my last mouse was usb too | 12:33 |
| magnetron | ravenheart: yeah it depends on the mouse | 12:33 |
| magnetron | ravenheart: kind of a lottery when the BIOS will fuck up | 12:33 |
| cptblod | actually, vdpau is working fine | 12:33 |
| giannis | greppy: yes you are right :) can someone steal my data within the internet? | 12:34 |
| oCean | magnetron: watch the language here | 12:34 |
| iceroot | greppy: the auto-login-feature is on encrypted /home | 12:34 |
| cptblod | never had any issues with vdpau really gaelfx | 12:34 |
| gaelfx | cptblod: did you use PPA for that? | 12:34 |
| magnetron | oCean: yeah i just rememebered this was a family establishment | 12:34 |
| oCean | magnetron: thanks | 12:34 |
| iceroot | greppy: just because the key is not stored on /home, auto-login is working, so if you steal the hdd, auto-login is not working because its crypted on /home | 12:34 |
| greppy | giannis: if they get access to your computer, yes. | 12:34 |
| cptblod | i installed libvdpau1 & libdvdpau-dev gaelfx from terminal | 12:34 |
| giannis | greppy: so i might be protected from that now right? and last question..is the home dir slower (about speeds) at read/write? if yes how slower? | 12:35 |
| greppy | giannis: there is going to be some overhead from enabling encryption, I don't have details on how much, sorry. | 12:36 |

The problem is I'd like to know whether a given character exists in the selected font. So I'd like that Gucharmap displays only the characters available in the font | 12:55 |

| sipior | Mixxit: you'll want to use the latest LTS release; i.e., Lucid. | 12:57 |
| Mixxit | apache | 12:57 |
| jwfoxjr | Mixxit: Lucid is LTS so that's what I would on it | 12:57 |
| oCean | Mixxit: maybe #ubuntu-server channel could offer better help, but the 10.04 is latest LTS release | 12:57 |
| Mixxit | lts means lucid? | 12:57 |
| Mixxit | it doesn't say the version numbers next to them just the name | 12:58 |
| Koreets | good day to all! | 12:58 |
| Babbleback | Mixxit, Lucid is the name for that release | 12:58 |
| Mixxit | thank you! | 12:58 |
| jwfoxjr | Mixxit: no Lucid is an LTS Release - meaning it'll be supported for 3 years I think | 12:58 |
| oCean | Babbleback: the login message is from the update-motd.d files. Check this command to see if there are updates availble: /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable | 12:58 |
| jbl | dwarder: libgtk2.0-dev | 12:58 |
| * jwfoxjr can never remember how long LTS releases are supported | 12:58 | |
| oCean | Mixxit: jwfoxjr LTS is 5 years supported for server (3 for desktop) | 12:58 |
| Babbleback | oCean, why would it state there are updates available if i run the update and upgrade afterwards and still give the same notification? | 12:59 |
| jwfoxjr | oCean: thanks for the heads up. | 12:59 |
| oCean | Babbleback: Please run the command I showed and see if *that* command says there are updates available | 12:59 |
| reeniginEesreveR | whats the easiest way of mounting a unix drive on a windows machine? | 12:59 |

| rileyp | share the dir with samba and away you go | 13:00 |
| dwarder | jbl: thank you | 13:00 |

| Babbleback | oCean, , yet i've rebooted so shouldn't those message be updated then? same message is returned by apt-check | 13:01 |
| oCean | Babbleback: yes it should. If apt-check is returning, then the system really thinks there are updates available. So you either did not upgrade, or there are new packages available | 13:02 |
| reeniginEesreveR | rileyp, whats the easiest way of settings up samba? :S | 13:02 |

| imaginois | hi i need some help with opensc more specifically working with cardreader omnikey 6121 | 13:03 |

| Xtazy | ok dwarder | 13:04 |
| oCean | jwfoxjr: you might have a source for downloads for which you don't have a key, I think you can use the --allow-unauthenticated, but you have to lookup the manpage for that | 13:05 |

| jwfoxjr | oCean: looks like its a problem with the US Servers. Changed to "Main Server" in Software Sources | 13:09 |
| oCean | jwfoxjr: ah, okay | 13:09 |
| oCean | jwfoxjr: in software sources, you can go to the authentication tab and install keys I think | 13:10 |
| Xtazy | jwfoxjr : Did they fix the boot problem after updating ubuntu 10.04 in wubi? Can I now install the updates without having the same problem again ? | 13:10 |
| Goodi | would anyone know when/if the sun-java6 packages will be available for Maverick? | 13:11 |
| jwfoxjr | oCean: yeah you can, but the reason it was failing was that it wasn't able to pull the update information from one of the US servers. it must be down. | 13:11 |
| jwfoxjr | Xtazy: I don't know - I don't use wubi. :( | 13:11 |

| glebihan | adzy: well if you need the old ones, the simplest way is to uninstall them (I'd recommend keeping 2 kernels though) | 13:15 |
| oCean | adzy: when the purge of the kernel packages is done, the menu entries will be removed also | 13:15 |
| adzy | oCean: there are 3 kernels listed there and 3 recovery modes | 13:16 |

| etheretic | Turboz: Indeed. :) In a nutshell; it used to work, now it doesn't. | 14:11 |
| adhok_hk | kishon, have you installed the proprietary driver for your video card? | 14:11 |
| Turboz | clab_: gaussview is compiled for iX86 instead of what you should have: x86-64bits | 14:11 |
| Turboz | etheretic: And you see what error ? | 14:12 |
| etheretic | Turboz: The connection works partly - p2p and irc works, web/amule doesn't. | 14:12 |
| kishon | i have not installed any drivers as such.. is there a way to know the video card present in my system??? | 14:12 |
| clab_ | Turboz: how to get that X86-64 bit libXft file | 14:13 |
| Turboz | clab_: gaussview 64 bits you mean ?.. :) | 14:13 |
| clab_ | yes | 14:13 |
| adhok_hk | go to system > administrative, and the third or fourth option down should be hardware drivers | 14:13 |
| clab_ | Turboz: yes | 14:13 |
| Turboz | etheretic: So youre not running a DNS-server ? | 14:13 |
| etheretic | Turboz: I run the link monitor applet. The two sites monitored are mostly "unable to resolve" | 14:14 |
| Turboz | clab_: I havnt used or seen that application. Perhaps google can be used ? | 14:14 |
| Turboz | etheretic: So youre not running a DNS-server ? | 14:14 |
| etheretic | Turboz: I hope not! It's a common notebook. | 14:15 |
| Turboz | y/n ? | 14:15 |
| erdnase | Excuse me, do you guys know of any trending analysis programs? | 14:15 |
| kishon | it shows "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 14:15 |
| clab_ | Turboz: So according to you we cant run gaussview in 64 bit verson as it is for 32-bit verson. Am I right? | 14:15 |
| adhok_hk | kishon: and going to System > preferences > monitors and clicking on the detect monitors option isn't showing the second monitor for you? | 14:16 |
| Turboz | Ok, so then you need to figure out why something isnt resolving properly. DNS-Guru would rather be some guy with good skills on a DNS-server. But ok.. | 14:16 |

| Turboz | etheretic: Next time you have a problem, please state the problem in the initial question. | 14:19 |
| etheretic | Turboz: After many attempts, irc finally connected. Transmission (p2p) works partly. | 14:20 |
| Turboz | etheretic: Could be a simple isp routing problem. Kinda common unfortunately | 14:21 |
| Turboz | etheretic: Sometimes they even do battle that way and blaiming it on the other isp etc. | 14:22 |
| etheretic | Turboz: Did - the symptom is a flakey wifi connection. The diagnosis is botched dns config. Need a cure. : | 14:22 |
| arinya | In the dialog of save as ..., for example, gedit, the left panel is the place for "Places". I just found that pressing backspace will remove bookmark created in nautilus. Is it a feature or bug? How do you think? | 14:22 |
| Turboz | etheretic: I cant stand wifi, its insecure and works like crap (Goes for windows too). | 14:22 |
| geekwanabe | what would the error "GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Maximum number of X display failures reached: Check X server log for errors." mean ? | 14:23 |
| etheretic | Turboz: Sadly there is only one open ap I can use here - othervise I could try another with a differen isp. | 14:23 |
| Turboz | etheretic: Try some of those ether crackers on your own wifi and see if it takes more then 10 minutes to get into :) | 14:23 |
| Turboz | Aha... totally open ? | 14:24 |
| etheretic | Turboz: Well, wifi is what I've got... | 14:24 |

| Leman_Russ | Thanks a lot | 14:26 |
| Turboz | etheretic: Net1 is nice ;) | 14:26 |
| darksbane | Braber01: the obvious security risk with telnet is that everything transmitted is plaintext, including your username and password. | 14:26 |

| Gadgetwizard | fearless | 14:27 |
| Braber01 | darksbane: are there any other security risks? | 14:27 |

| Turboz | etheretic: I see, hmm... is the signal low ... maybe you can get an external antenna for the wifi card in the comp ? | 14:28 |

| etheretic | Turboz: I'll try again with the usb stick install. If it works, it's my config somehow. | 14:30 |
| ukine_work | Braber01, install http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ or regular openssh if you're on ubuntu at home | 14:30 |

| abstrakt | ok, so I need to take some metrics on server performance... first I simluate some traffic with e.g. ab and or linklint, and then I take performance reasings with `time curl -o /dev/null http://www.website.com/` ...should I just grep/preg parse the output of time? and average the numbers? seems like there should be some combination of utilities or options I can do this with already | 14:58 |
| Turboz | etheretic: "19" is wrong, you meant to say 192 ? | 14:58 |
| irk | magnetron: just a heads up that ping itself has the -I option also, however when I tried it out it didn't seem to work - still pinging from the primary iface. we got the arp cache cleared tho so we're good | 14:58 |
| icarus-c | agentgasmask, but you can't use gcc's "native" autodetection | 14:58 |
| aeon-ltd | zanus: right click on the panel, add to panel | 14:58 |

| Turboz | etheretic: "traceroute www.sunet.se" Paste the screenshot | 14:59 |
| agentgasmask | icarus-c: I think the term "cpu optimize" for google will do nicely! :) | 14:59 |

| moetunes | mintsauce: dpkg has the -f option to fix - does that work? | 15:00 |
| agentgasmask | icarus-c: could you use the "native" command on the other machine just to dump the options to use on the compile machine? | 15:00 |

| linelevel | Hi. I'm running Karmic. I use the built-in vino server for VNC access to my Ubuntu box. The problem is that it doesn't update--whatever the VNC client window shows when the session starts is all it shows. I can verify that the client is sending input correctly, but the server is not sending the screen updates. How can I troubleshoot this problem? | 16:36 |

| bilalakhtar | sorry | 16:57 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, oh thats very sad. | 16:57 |

| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: you know the doc root? | 16:58 |
| sh00ter | localhost/hello.html works fine | 16:58 |

| * AbhiJit prays for rapha | 16:58 | |
| rapha | oCean: bilalakhtar: sorry, but I bet you can imagine that this is kind of emotional. | 16:58 |
| sh00ter | u mean DocumentRoot value in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 16:58 |
| sh00ter | ? | 16:58 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: yes | 16:59 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, try test disk see if you can recover it | 16:59 |
| oCean | rapha: you can come here if you have calmed down | 16:59 |
| sh00ter | yes, its /var/www | 16:59 |
| urna | backups are for fags, real men upload their stuff on some ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it | 16:59 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: okay, so run sudo a2enmod php5 | 16:59 |
| rapha | bobstro: Of a minority of things, yes, but 1TB is really a lot and I didn't have the money to buy a second disk yet. | 16:59 |
| Ekips | rapha: Tried to recover? | 16:59 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: and then sudo service apache2 restart | 16:59 |
| sh00ter | sudo a2enmode php5 | 16:59 |
| sh00ter | sudo: a2enmode: command not found | 16:59 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: its a2enmod, not a2enmodE | 16:59 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, you shoulndt ever think of using your main imp data disk to be as experiment disk | 16:59 |
| rapha | AbhiJit: Ekips: that's what I want to do, but before I resort to things like TestDisk (for which you need a second disk of the same size) I want to see if there is no way to figure out where the original ReiserFS partition started... | 17:00 |
| Ekips | Ah, I was gonna suggest testdisk yeah | 17:00 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, ohh that i dunno | 17:00 |
| sh00ter | bilalakhtar: gimme a min | 17:00 |
| sh00ter | doing it | 17:00 |
| rapha | AbhiJit: what does "imp" mean? (and I didn't want to 'experiment', I just wanted to put Ubuntu on it) | 17:00 |
| nothingspecial | rapha: Do not write to that disk whatever you do, cleanly unmount it right away | 17:00 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, imp= important | 17:01 |
| rapha | nothingspecial: I'm afraid I freaked out once I realized what was happening and kill -9'd the mkfs.vfat process. | 17:01 |
| rapha | AbhiJit: oh okay, yeah | 17:01 |
| nothingspecial | rapha: Have a look at testdisk or photorec | 17:01 |
| Ekips | Heh | 17:01 |
| rapha | nothingspecial: do you know if these can find partitions, too? I thought they could only find files? | 17:01 |
| Ekips | Yeah, I don't know another tool either (because it works so damn well) | 17:01 |
| Ekips | Nono, testdisk finds partitions | 17:01 |
| Ekips | http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 17:02 |
| rapha | aaah perfect | 17:02 |
| rapha | then i'll try it right away | 17:02 |
| Ekips | "TestDisk is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions" | 17:02 |
| sh00ter | bilalakhtar: lol, wat was the problem ? | 17:02 |
| nothingspecial | rapha: You may be able to pay to get it all back, listen, all hard drives will fail in the end, eventually, you must have backups. But I guess you know that dnow | 17:02 |
| sh00ter | it works now | 17:02 |
| sh00ter | :) | 17:02 |
| rapha | just have to hope mkfs.vfat didn't do a very thorough job | 17:02 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: worked? | 17:02 |
| sh00ter | i didnt understand the problem tho | 17:03 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: It was a very very simple problem: The mod_php5 module wasn't loading | 17:03 |
| sh00ter | :( i am a ubuntu n00b, really need to leanr, new to ubuntu | 17:03 |
| rapha | nothingspecial: yes I was planning on buying the same disk again, but I'm still saving up money for that | 17:03 |
| bilalakhtar | since it was disabled :) | 17:03 |
| Ekips | nothingspecial: I don't think they charge for another edition of those tools | 17:03 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: You just enabled it | 17:03 |
| sh00ter | but it said | 17:03 |
| Fishscene | sh00ter: Welcome to Ubuntu. | 17:03 |
| sh00ter | Module php5 already enabled | 17:03 |
| sh00ter | Fishscene: thx :) | 17:03 |
| nothingspecial | Ekips: I meant there are companies that do it, if they don`t work | 17:03 |
| sh00ter | do i need to install phpmyadmin now ? | 17:04 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: probably you didn't restart the server since you installed libapache2-mod-php5 | 17:04 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: you can, if you wish | 17:04 |
| sh00ter | sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin? | 17:04 |
| Ekips | Oh yeah nothingspecial, true, data recovery by pro's is very exspensive business :) | 17:04 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: yes ^^ | 17:04 |
| sh00ter | :) | 17:04 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: Its a good bundle, though its not necessary | 17:04 |
| rapha | nothingspecial: Ekips: AbhiJit: TestDisk is searching for it now... will take a couple hours it looks like. | 17:04 |
| sh00ter | now let me bug u guys with loads of questions heh | 17:04 |
| sh00ter | wats taskel? | 17:04 |
| Ekips | bilalakhtar: Well, "good" if you don't forget to disable your setup.php *cough* | 17:05 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, dear | 17:05 |
| sh00ter | and y not sudo apt-get install lamp-server but sudo taksel install lamp-server ? | 17:05 |
| sh00ter | taskel* | 17:05 |
| nothingspecial | rapha: When you do get another disk, don`t have it connected to the same computer, not even in the same room. In a different building if possible | 17:05 |
| bilalakhtar | sh00ter: lamp-server is a task, not a pckage | 17:05 |
| rapha | oh already found a lot of partitions | 17:05 |
| bilalakhtar | *package | 17:05 |
| AbhiJit | rapha, first read testdisk documentation carefully. if used in wrong direction testdisk can ruin your that 1tb hdd so that you will not be able to recover data from it afterwords | 17:05 |
| bilalakhtar | Ekips: Installing it from the ubuntu package is completely safe | 17:05 |
| Ekips | Ah, ok bilalakhtar | 17:05 |
| sh00ter | that means it already there in my ubuntu installation ? | 17:06 |

| Dr_Willis | joanet: if its like the ntfs-3g filesystem - you may need to use the proper 'uid/gid/fmask/dmask' options | 17:10 |

Also the keyboard doesn't react (mouse works) and I have to alt+tab out of wine. I'm running on Open Source drivers (Edge I think they're called) with my radeon x1650 pro. If there are | 17:18 |

| Dr_Willis | MagPulse: what filesystem is the USB? You have your / partition thats ext4. if you ran blkid whild the HD is unplugged.. then it cant be giving any info about the USB HD. | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | MagPulse: try commenting out that last line.. save file, then reboot.. see if it works.. | 17:30 |
| MagPulse | Dr_Willis, actually, I have an idea. I'll restart, write down the thing mount address that doesn't load and comment it out and see iff it works. | 17:30 |

| Zearth | locally I can see data from it on a website hosted on the same machine, and I can get port 80 traffic over the LAN, just not able to access the mysql DB directly | 17:51 |
| mkanyicy | AbhiJit, ok thanks. | 17:52 |
| mkanyicy | Zearth, what are you using to access your DB? | 17:54 |
| Zearth | its a PHP script | 17:54 |
| docsy | got the uptodate version dajhorn, cheers! | 17:55 |
| Zearth | I just get my 'or die' message | 17:55 |
| meco | i just downloaded the latest version of Opera, but it insists on being opened with "gnome-open" which I don't have and which Synaptic doesn't recognize. What should I do? | 17:55 |
| mkanyicy | Zearth, what is the die message? | 17:55 |
| Zearth | well it could be anything, but I have it as 'could not connect to database' | 17:56 |
| rooks | meco, hmm.. gnomeopen is something that comes by default with ubuntu | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: you dowloaded a .deb? or a .tar.gz ? i belive theres some ppa/repos that have opera in them also. | 17:56 |
| Zearth | rather, unable to select... | 17:56 |
| RippleEffect | How do I activate WLAN on my old Toshiba Sattelite notebook? I use Gnome. | 17:57 |
| rooks | meco, there is a official opera ubuntu source | 17:57 |
| Zearth | its really annoying, but I think my issue is with mysql, but I have enabled the user of this DB to access it from all sources. | 17:57 |
| meco | Dr_Willis: I downloaded a .deb | 17:57 |
| mkanyicy | Zearth, did you try 'or die(mysql_error())' instead? | 17:57 |
| Zearth | I thought it was an iptables block, but even with firestarter, i forced 3306 open... still no cigar | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: try 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb' | 17:58 |
| Zearth | ok, good idea, let me see what it prints | 17:58 |
| rooks | meco https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser#Install via repository (recommended) | 17:58 |
| meco | rooks: What do you mean the url via repository? | 17:59 |
| rooks | meco, when you install via adding an oera repository, it will be automatically checked for upgrades | 17:59 |

| === max is now known as Guest97340 | ||
| meco | Dr_Willis/rooks: OK, I'll see whichever way works :-) | 18:01 |

| sandking | hi | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: i noticed that Ubuntu-tweak has a check box to enable the opera repo. :) thats how i normally add it. | 18:02 |

| sandking | xangua: thx | 18:03 |
| sandking | i just was curious how it would work on my kindle :] | 18:04 |
| mkanyicy | Zearth, are you using something like: $db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("database_name",$db) or die(mysql_error()); on your php script? | 18:04 |
| AbhiJit | max__, yes | 18:04 |

| max__ | thanks, AbhiJit. I just installed Ubuntu (first linux attempt), and I set up a Fat32 partition to be shared w XP dual boot | 18:05 |
| AbhiJit | !manual | max__ | 18:06 |
| ubottu | max__: 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/ | 18:06 |
| max__ | I cant access the Fat32 partition | 18:06 |
| max__ | i've looked on the manual | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: Linux can read/write to ntfs now a days rather well. :) no need for fat32 really. | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: You made a new fat32 partition? You did format it? | 18:07 |
| max__ | ubuntu did not give the option to make the partition ntfs | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: you could of formated it from windows... | 18:07 |
| max__ | yes, made and formatted when installing | 18:08 |
| max__ | when installing ubuntu | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: did you give it a mount point? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | when doing the install? | 18:08 |
| max__ | i'm not sure | 18:08 |
| max__ | what should the mount point have been? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: whatever you wanted.... | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: it dosent show up under the 'computer' icon? | 18:08 |
| max__ | no | 18:08 |
| max__ | only the xp partition | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: you could install/run the ntfs-config tool. it will scan and add a proper entry to the fstab i belive for it. | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | max__: also check the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to see what partition the fat32 is.. | 18:09 |
| DemoOn | umm, ive problem, i dont see my Panel, only desktop, how can i get my panel back? I just restarted pc and i cant see panel with applications, clock etc. | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | 18:10 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | DemoOn: it would be odd that the panel crashed and dident restart.. | 18:10 |
| DemoOn | how can i get terminal? | 18:10 |
| meco | Dr_Willis: What is Ubuntu-tweak? | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | DemoOn: you are not using 2 monitors are you? Ive had the panel jump monitors befor. | 18:11 |
| DemoOn | Dr_Willis: nop, only one | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: a handy little unsupported 3rd party tool. | 18:11 |

| theTroy | Ubuntu 10.04.1 - My video replay is EXTREMELY slow, to the extent of a slideshow. Even with ogv/theora codecs, it is still extremely slow. Similar issue with flash players, whenever I fullscreen them, they become unresponsive and playing at .5 fps. Everything was fine for 9.10 ubuntu. | 18:12 |
| theTroy | Nvidia video card, proprietary drivers installed* | 18:12 |
| Fishscene | dludldin: Using the regular installer, you should be able to select your device/partition and install normally. | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | DemoOn: alt-f2 normally does it if you have no icons | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | DemoOn: alt-f2 'gnome-terminal' for a gnome terminal | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | theTroy: what nvidia card? whats the rest of the system specs. | 18:13 |

| pzero | how do you kill a process that isn't ending after kill -9? | 18:17 |
| researcher123 | I have just installed Lynx.How to create root password now | 18:17 |
| ilovefairuz | blink: what application are you using to open it | 18:17 |
| pzero | researcher123, "passwd" | 18:17 |
| blink | ilovefairuz: gedit | 18:17 |
| glebihan | pzero: are you sure it is not ending and respawning ? | 18:17 |
| researcher123 | pzero Can u give me the command to be used | 18:18 |
| mkanyicy | researcher123, you should not create a root password! | 18:18 |
| pzero | glebihan 32152 pts/0 00:13:40 transmission <defunct> (how can i tell if it's respawning?) | 18:18 |
| llutz_ | !root > researcher123 | 18:18 |
| ubottu | researcher123, please see my private message | 18:18 |
| glebihan | !root | researcher123 | 18:18 |
| ubottu | researcher123: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:18 |
| ilovefairuz | blink: in gedit's open dialog there's a select box to pick the encoding of the file .. try "windows 1256" | 18:19 |
| llutz_ | researcher123: theres no reason to set a root-password, its not supported here | 18:19 |
| researcher123 | llutz but I want to set root password.Whats the way to do that | 18:19 |
| glebihan | pzero: the <defunct> info indicates that the process has ended and is waiting for its parent to kill it | 18:19 |
| glebihan | pzero: you won't be able to kill it | 18:20 |
| llutz_ | researcher123: what part of " not supported here" you don't understand? | 18:20 |
| pzero | how can i find it's parent? | 18:20 |
| LjL | researcher123: i'm sure you can google and find out | 18:20 |
| researcher123 | ok | 18:20 |
| researcher123 | thanks | 18:20 |
| glebihan | pzero: ps -ef should give you the id of the parent process | 18:20 |
| blink | ilovefairuz: i can't find it | 18:20 |
| glebihan | pzero: PPID column | 18:21 |
| pzero | ppid is "1", something makes me uncomfortable about killing that... | 18:22 |
| glebihan | pzero: process with pid 1 is init, so you're right, don't kill it ;) | 18:22 |
| pzero | so how do i end this process? | 18:23 |
| blink | ilovefairuz: i actually found that in Openoffice Word Writer. as for gedit, it's not there! | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis | kill #1 = reboot time.. i seem to recall.. | 18:23 |
| glebihan | pzero: why do you absolutely want to kill it (you won't able to anyway) | 18:23 |
| ilovefairuz | blink: one moment, i'm installing gedit | 18:23 |
| pzero | because i cant re-open the program | 18:23 |
| ehcah | I'm having trouble with imon lcd displaying properly on my external case LCD. I think it may have something to do with fact that my imon.pl file is located in the /root directory. Can any, or a specific user be assigned permission to access that particular file, or would they require access to the /root directory? | 18:24 |
| pzero | i want to run transmission, i dont want to reboot, and it crashed earlier leaving me with a defunct password and no parent. Is there really nothing I can do except reboot? | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ehcah: you could link it somewhere else. or set the proper chmod on /root/ and the file to let others execute it.. | 18:25 |
| glebihan | pzero: that's odd, a process in defunct state should have freed all its resources... something must have wrong | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | never seen transmission crash that badly. | 18:25 |
| guntbert | pzero: don't mix up pid and ppid though - ppid is the parent's id | 18:26 |
| glebihan | pzero: I don't think you have any other solution than reboot... | 18:26 |
| ehcah | Ok, so if I move the file to a universally accessible directory, that should work? | 18:26 |
| Dr_Willis | pzero: perhaps log out/back in. may kick it in the hdead.. | 18:26 |
| glebihan | Dr_Willis: neither have I | 18:26 |
| ilovefairuz | blink: click character enconding > add or remove > then select "arabic (windows 1256)" and press add.. after you finish adding, select it in the open dialog | 18:26 |
| wolfric_ | when i try to change panel main menu to key windows via "keyboard shortcuts" it doesn't move. It's as if it doesn't detect me pressing the windows key. If i select the option to change the key and press another key it works | 18:26 |
| guntbert | pzero: if you want to kill transmission don't kill its parent | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfric_: the windows key is special i recall people trying to get the menu to popup with Just the windows key befor.. im not sure if its doable.. now alt-win Might do it.. I have other uses for my win key. :) | 18:27 |

| tarik_kpl | roygbiv: i just know that i ahev to install appa-german package something like that... | 18:32 |
| pzero | theos: sudo apt-cache search weather | 18:32 |
| ehcah | Dr_Willis: Would "chmod 755 *.pl" give everyone access to my imon.pl file or, will they still be limited due to it's /root/imon.pl location? | 18:32 |
| blink | ilovefairuz: i've added all the Arabic encoders and none of them worked. | 18:32 |
| roygbiv | tarik_kpl, try #ubuntu-de | 18:32 |

| mzuverink | looking to use two monitors, each showing dif virt screens, anyone got and idea? | 18:34 |
| guntbert | pzero: for a kill you need the pid and not the ppid - even a defunct process should have a pid | 18:34 |
| pzero | guntbert, killing the pid doesn't do anything | 18:34 |
| guntbert | pzero: how did you try to kill it? | 18:35 |
| glebihan | guntbert: there's no way to kill a defunct process | 18:35 |
| llutz_ | pzero: you cannot kill a dead man like a defunct process, its already dead | 18:35 |
| gaelfx | kill -9? | 18:35 |
| blink | ilovefairuz: i gtg. it is working perfect for OpenOffice atm, we'll see what we can do later. Thanks for the help dude. | 18:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ehcah: a directory has to have right permissions also - so they can access stuff in the dir. | 18:35 |
| ilovefairuz | blink: did you select the encoding after adding it? | 18:36 |
| blink | ilovefairuz: yes i did. nothing changed. | 18:36 |
| guntbert | glebihan: defunct == zombie? then his htop is telling rubbish - a zombie cannot use cpu time | 18:36 |
| ilovefairuz | blink: ok, and you're welcome | 18:36 |

| gaelfx | amaurea: it seems like any of the dev packages would be unnecessary and possibly not useful | 18:59 |
| blackhawk0042 | I have an issue where ubuntu crashes and I think its the gnome panel | 18:59 |
| FusionX | cowlvin1: tell us the exact errors | 19:00 |
| amaurea | gaelfx: the libcurl4-openssl-dev package contained curl.h, so things work now | 19:00 |
| daniela | is there any console program that can read my hd drive temp? | 19:00 |
| amaurea | gaelfx: you generally need -dev packages to get header files, don't you? | 19:00 |
| llutz_ | daniela: hddtemp | 19:00 |
| gaelfx | or there's that :D | 19:00 |
| daniela | llutz_: thx, hdparm isn't able to do so, right? | 19:01 |
| gaelfx | amaurea: actually, I thought for headers there was usually a separate repo | 19:01 |
| dwarder | please suggest me a normal font viewer for ubuntu | 19:01 |
| amaurea | gaelfx: or did I misunderstand what you meant? | 19:01 |
| dwarder | ? | 19:01 |
| llutz_ | daniela: afaik no | 19:01 |
| gaelfx | amaurea: I dunno, the whole thing seems kinda moot now, since you got what you were looking for | 19:01 |
| amaurea | gaelfx: ok. Thanks anyway, thoughy | 19:01 |
| amaurea | -y | 19:02 |

| blackhawk0042 | Can some one help me out? everything crashes except for the background and right before it all crashes it shows gnome panel using all CPU usage. | 19:03 |

| i_is_broke | blackhawk0042: have you tried resetting gnome panel? | 19:04 |
| sharperguy | ^oh and does anyone have a link on how todo it? | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | dwarder: theres a font preview tool in the repos i thought.. actually I though the file manager also shows a little thumbnail | 19:04 |
| blackhawk0042 | no, but it does it after about 5-10 minutes after restarting the computer | 19:04 |
| djemi | hello | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | blackhawk0042: as a test. try making a new user, and see if they also crash. | 19:05 |
| cowlvin1 | gnome menu doesn't appear unless i do gnome-panel. Alt-F1 gives me part of menu. no usable mode message on bootup. Also unknown terminal message on bootup. tried all fixes i could find on the net. many of the menu items I can access return messages claiming package is missing. no problem with actual installation. have done four full installs. no other os on machine which is an old HP Pavillion 6730. desktop iconsappear sometimes and other times they | 19:05 |
| blackhawk0042 | ok, I will give that a shot | 19:05 |

| Dr_Willis | djzn: there is a limit to the # of arguments a single bash line can be also.. | 19:09 |
| djzn | Dr_Willis: the echo coomand returns all files and subdirs inside this directory | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | djzn: how many have spaces in the names also.. that often causes issues for me. | 19:09 |

| wbadger | oxidkor, do you want to "cd" to the last directory you were? | 19:28 |

| Dagda | dywi, and how to lanch it with the correct user ? (when my server start, he must do all that automatic). I must connect to ssh user@ipserver and found my "screen -rD" directly ... i think imust start the soft into the server with an user ... no ?

| senti | X-Sleepy-X: thnx | 19:33 |
| CkhiKuzad | Alket, i've tried to do that thousands of times. the best idea is to download the iso, put it on a thumb drive, and burn it with your burner, or go to a friends house, or the library, or your school, and burn it. | 19:33 |

| X-Sleepy-X | st33l: typo? http://www.minitheatre.org/ | 20:05 |
| st33l | no no | 20:05 |
| st33l | the page used to load all of a sudden it doesnt | 20:05 |
| oxidkor | carandraug: let's say our top directory is /home - so when we want to go into our Downloads directory - we do "cd /home/username/Downloads and here we are in Downloads folder... so when we do "cd ../ we go upper level of the directory which is username because we go up - if we do cd ../../ then we are in home folder so we go up everytime we say "cd ../etc... but for example when I hit the home directory again I might want to go back to down level like /Do | 20:05 |
| oxidkor | wnloads again for instance so "cd ../../ makes us go to upper level back on top of our home directory - my question is how can we go the reverse (going down to Download directory for instance without writing the whole path name (like "cd -" command) | 20:06 |
| IdleOne | clear your browser cache and try again | 20:06 |
| oxidkor | I hope I made myself clear | 20:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | you typed mintheatre.org before and perhaps you meant minitheatre.org | 20:06 |
| st33l | i did that on chrome didnt work | 20:06 |
| Dr_Willis | santi1: proberly not. Theres some sites other then the cups one that has 'drivers' but ive rarely had to check them out | 20:06 |

| === yarr is now known as ubuntu3292 | ||

| Seeker` | ubuntu3292: yes | 20:20 |
| markharmer | I want to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04. The documentation says I must go to System - Administration - Software Properties where I will find an Update tab. Help - I don't have "Software Properties". - | 20:20 |
| Ken8521 | zanus, that's a long way to do it... are you just trying to make a menu entry, so you can call it up when you need it? | 20:20 |
| ubuntu3292 | seeker` thanks, I figured that just wanted to make sure | 20:20 |
| Seeker` | ubuntu3292: the RC probably won't be far off the finished version, if at all | 20:20 |

| Viliny_on_N900 | im pending on trying to clear the cmos but if anyone has any good ideas it would be welcome. sitting on a train bored | 20:21 |
| krany | zanus, to work as root in a terminal for more than one command just type: sudo su | 20:22 |
| Ken8521 | zanus, well, sudo nano etc.. you'd have to create a shortcut for each one of them, | 20:22 |

| krany | Glebelg, why? | 20:23 |
| glebihan | zanus: sudo -i will open a root login shell | 20:23 |
| santi1 | krany: I only have to install Gutenprint an then? | 20:23 |
| Ken8521 | zanus, i agree w/ glebihan | 20:23 |

| Bennit | Hi, can you update packages (like virtualbox) to newer versions than the default one in the repositories? | 21:24 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Bennit: perhaps if they have a repository or i you compile from source or install a deb file... | 21:25 |
| guntbert | Richiie: that is true, but I don't want files lying around I cannot use anyway, and you don't know where else in your system there files from that manual install | 21:25 |
| al__ | is there a way to update compiz from the command line? | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Bennit: sure if you can find a ppa with it, or deb | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | Bennit | 21:25 |

| ActionParsnip | !anyone | Somelauw | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Somelauw: 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? | 21:26 |

| Bennit | ActionParsnip: apt-get upgrade says packages have been kept back (the ones I'd like to upgrade to a newer version) | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Bennit: it means the packages are there but the dependancies they need are not ready, so they get kept back | 21:31 |

| st__ | how can I zero unused diskspace in Ubuntu? | 21:36 |
| epp | al__, Its the way gnome handles the display of windows | 21:36 |

| tigertv69 | hey guys i have somewhat an easy qquestion.... Ok basically i have an ubuntu server and a windows machine... The ubuntu server uses a paid vpn provider so all the data being tunneled is secure... i want to setup chrome on my non server(my desktop gui) to tunnel through my server.. SO basically all the internet on my computer here is just through that computer | 21:36 |
| epp | al__, you can get the compiz icon and turn it off quickly | 21:37 |
| st__ | definitely there should be some tool as it's standard security masere | 21:37 |
| tigertv69 | is there a setting i can setup in chrome to do taht and what do i need to do on my ubutu server to get that to work?? | 21:37 |
| epp | al__, switch between window managers quickly | 21:37 |
| tigertv69 | (just my chrome browser) all my other browsers will be my normal internet | 21:37 |
| ikonia | st__: unused space should be blank anyway | 21:37 |
| tigertv69 | ?? | 21:37 |

| navetz | my laptop runs fairly hot | 21:39 |
| epp | navetz, dust it out | 21:39 |

| navetz | epp: it is very clean. Just bought it recently | 21:39 |
| guntbert | alech: therefore you should use "$dir" ... instead | 21:39 |
| ikonia | st__: rm removes reference pointers to the file | 21:39 |

| sje46 | /server usually connects you to a server. So I guess she was trying to get us to the server with the domain "MEMO" | 21:45 |
| st__ | i've just read man and it says rm just calls unlink. then i ask again: is there a tool to zero out unused space on volume | 21:45 |
| sje46 | which doesn't make any sense | 21:45 |
| TrinityX | HELLO | 21:46 |
| Jon-- | st__: Try google. Should be easy to find | 21:46 |
| RJ_F1 | st__ there are many tools that can "shred" free space. but I cant think of any that are 4 linux. | 21:46 |

| Braber | fruitwerks: courier? | 21:48 |
| aleixosk | Ken8521, it's asking for the wireless password. It tries to connect and asks again after a while. | 21:48 |
| fruitwerks | umm so after about a week or two, NFS takes a dump, and restarting nfs-kernel-server, rpc and portmap in any combination doesn't fix it, I have to reboot | 21:48 |
| st__ | whuch is a proper way to terminate running X login manager? | 21:48 |
| fruitwerks | any ideas? | 21:48 |
| Ken8521 | aleixosk, well, i'll state the obvious, have you selected the right ESSID and is your password correct | 21:48 |
| Jon-- | I am SSHd into a system with X11 forwarding, how do I run VLC with an x interface so it can be forwarded over the wire? | 21:49 |

| tigertv69 | i want to download an entire directory | 21:51 |
| tigertv69 | but like i want to have multiple transfers going at once.. (not just one file per time)?? | 21:51 |
| mtx_init | aar you can do something like du -a *.png | 21:51 |
| aleixosk | Ken8521, yes, I know it's my network. The first time I just clicked "OK" and it reconnected again, but now it keeps asking. It only happens with my PC. | 21:51 |
| mtx_init | tigertv69: filezilla can do that | 21:51 |
| guntbert | st__: did you see the link about secure deleting? | 21:52 |
| tigertv69 | on ubuntu | 21:52 |
| tigertv69 | filezilla works | 21:52 |
| tigertv69 | i dont have a gui? | 21:52 |
| st__ | guntbert, yes | 21:52 |
| MyWay | does somebody know if the soundcard Asus Xonar DG works with ubutu? | 21:52 |
| aar | mtx_init, that lists the memory for each file but doesn't give a summary (i.e. a total calculation) | 21:52 |
| guntbert | !enter | tigertv69 | 21:52 |
| ubottu | tigertv69: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:52 |

| ubuntu_mad | hi all | 21:52 |
| ubuntu_mad | any idea how long i will wait for a bug report to be looked at/fixed? | 21:52 |
| Ken8521 | aleixosk, i dunno, maybe your password got fubar'd?.. try deleting your network, and re-enter everything manuall? | 21:53 |
| mtx_init | aar, Im not aware of any app that does what you want, you would likely need to pipe them together | 21:53 |
| guntbert | ubuntu_mad: not really predictable unless you do it yourself :-) | 21:53 |
| aar | mtx_init, ok thx | 21:54 |
| Ken8521 | ubuntu_mad, depends on priority, etc... could be a while, could be tonight | 21:54 |

| Ken8521 | aleixosk, well, there's a lot of wireless pci cards | 21:59 |

| tigertv69 | how do i start x (i forgot | 21:59 |
| sje46 | startx | 21:59 |
| bomber | it says it as a boot msg | 21:59 |

| Ken8521 | aleixosk, i dunno, i don't mess w/ broadcom.. to big a pain | 22:00 |
| bomber | once i login its fine... i have to do alt-f1 to get to a login | 22:00 |
| bomber | nope | 22:00 |
| sje46 | bomber: I'm a little confused as to what the problem is | 22:00 |
| sje46 | is it preventing you from doing anything? Or is it just an annoyance? | 22:01 |
| bomber | well it hangs there... i have to manually press alt-f1 | 22:01 |
| aleixosk | Ken8521, ok, I get it... | 22:01 |
| bomber | so it does hang | 22:01 |
| MyWay | does somebody know if the soundcard Asus Xonar DG works with ubutu? Or an alternative with internal spdif for hdmi | 22:01 |
| sje46 | bomber: so you have to go to the virtual terminal to go to the gui. What do you do after you're in VT1? | 22:02 |

| brianfreud | This seems a newbie Q, but I'm blocking... Using gnome-search-tool, with the regexp match, .*ogg|.*flac|.*mp3 will give me all ogg/etc in that dir. But how can I negate that? ie, get everything *but* ogg, mp3, and flac? | 22:08 |

| afeijo | I want to test my site if it is properly configured by named and httpd | 22:41 |
| afeijo | I forgot the cmd | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | afeijo: whats the url? | 22:41 |

| ikonia | afeijo: hit the site using the DNS name | 22:42 |

| afeijo | ikonia: I use drupal and multisite, that wouldnt work | 22:42 |

| ikonia | afeijo: then that is nothing to do with ubuntu | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | afeijo: looks fine | 22:43 |
| ikonia | afeijo: so you visit the right URL in your browser | 22:43 |
| st__ | mac9416, dpkg -s PACKAGE | grep 'Essential' | 22:43 |

| tigertv69 | what | 22:44 |
| tigertv69 | ActionParsnip sorry i am back i just installed Xming.. i have no idea how to set it up.. i have putty installed also | 22:44 |
| mac9416 | st__, is there an apt-cache tool? The package I'm looking at isn't installed. | 22:44 |
| tigertv69 | so how do i login with ssh? | 22:44 |
| afeijo | ActionParsnip: that is my main site, not the new one... argh | 22:44 |
| ikonia | afeijo: shows a page where you talk about a "cool game" | 22:44 |
| ikonia | afeijo: join #drupal for drupal support | 22:45 |
| afeijo | if I remove the mysql db it show as offline as it should, so it is not apache or named config | 22:45 |
| davidfetter | hello | 22:45 |
| afeijo | ikonia: ok thanks | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tigertv69: you need to tell putty to allow x forwarding or put the binary in the windows directory and run it with: putty -X user@server | 22:45 |
| st__ | mac9416, apt-cache show PACKAGE | grep 'Priority' | 22:45 |
| tigertv69 | ok one sec i will uninstall and install xming hold on | 22:45 |
| davidfetter | i'm on 10.04. i'd like to get x to start at boot time, but i don't see anything like an /etc/inittab where i'd do that | 22:45 |
| davidfetter | what am i missing here? | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tigertv69: why, its already installed.... | 22:45 |
| tigertv69 | ok one sec | 22:45 |
| mac9416 | st__, muchas gracias. | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | davidfetter: by default it does | 22:46 |
| tigertv69 | ok do i want to install normal Putty or portable putty? | 22:46 |
| davidfetter | clearly i did something that wasn't quite right | 22:46 |
| st__ | why half of ubuntu desktop depends on libthai? | 22:46 |
| davidfetter | this is in vmware workstation | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | tigertv69: you want putty.exe | 22:46 |
| davidfetter | what might i have done wrong? | 22:46 |
| tigertv69 | so portable putty? | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tigertv69: whatever that one is, yes. Whack it in %WINDIR% | 22:47 |
| tigertv69 | do i want to put it in the Xming directory | 22:47 |
| tigertv69 | or do i want to put it into the /programfiles directory? | 22:47 |
| * davidfetter happy to do a reinstall if needed, as he hasn't started using any of it | 22:48 | |
| ActionParsnip | tigertv69: no, you just need to have xming running to give windows an x server for apps to stick to | 22:48 |
| tigertv69 | ok so that does not matter | 22:48 |
| tigertv69 | alrighty i will turn on xming right now .,. just click the icon correct? no setup stuff? | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tigertv69: the default settings are fine | 22:49 |
| tigertv69 | ok i just turned on xming and im launching putty.. login normally or configure stuff on putty ActionParsnip | 22:49 |

| oxymoron | LjL: Identify by nickserv or what do you mean? | 23:07 |
| LjL | oxymoron: yes, nickserv. you only get sent to #ubuntu-unregged if you're not identified to nickserv at the time you attempt to join #ubuntu | 23:07 |

| oxymoron | LjL: Hmm no it seems not. But it seems your boot is to fast or slow I dont know which. I am identified in my client at the same time I join almost which make boot doesnt get along ... | 23:08 |
| rww | oxymoron: you should set your client to wait a couple of seconds after identifying before autojoining. | 23:09 |
| LjL | oxymoron: the bot doesn't really have to do with it, whether you join #ubuntu-unregged or not is only dependent on freenode. try inserting a delay perhaps, if you can? also, do you know you can identify to nickserv by using your nickserv password as the server password? (that should also make it happen a little bit faster) | 23:09 |
| oxymoron | rww: How to change that then? Cannot you guys change bot to me more flexible? :D | 23:09 |
| LjL | oxymoron: no, as i said, it's not a matter of bots. | 23:09 |
| rww | oxymoron: it's not the bot doing it, it's freenode, and the problem is with your client's expectations. | 23:09 |
| rww | oxymoron: as for how to do it, depends on the client. | 23:09 |

| ZykoticK9 | tigertv69, first filezilla is a GUI app i believe so you need to be in X, second and this is more important - DO NOT RUN GUI APPS AS ROOT | 23:28 |
