| corbis | hi all | 00:40 |
| corbis | anyone here able to help with a quick Free-NX question? | 00:40 |
| stlsaint | corbis: shhot maybe some one can help | 00:48 |
| corbis | cool | 00:51 |
| corbis | well i have nxserver setup on a centos box | 00:51 |
| corbis | and my user can connect, but when they connect, it opens the session as user nx, instead of as the user | 00:51 |
| corbis | so when they go to open a terminal, etc, they get an NX shell | 00:52 |
| corbis | and not their shell | 00:52 |
| corbis | they also have no access to the files that user owns, etc | 00:52 |
| corbis | i know this is ubuntu channel | 00:52 |
| corbis | but it should be similar right | 00:52 |
| stlsaint | corbis: you talking ssh? | 01:00 |
| corbis | stlsaint | 01:02 |
| corbis | im talking freenx | 01:02 |
| stlsaint | how does the user connect? | 01:03 |
| corbis | well i connect using nx client which technically should be using ssh pass through on there mote system | 01:05 |
| stlsaint | corbis: is the user created on the nxserver? or are you using: ssh <username>@nxserver ? | 01:07 |
| corbis | yes the user is created | 01:08 |
| corbis | are you familiar with what nxserver is? | 01:08 |
| corbis | its a way to connect to your desktop like VNC | 01:08 |
| corbis | turns your Unix box into a terminal server for Gnome sessions | 01:08 |
| stlsaint | corbis: no i have never used nxserver before | 01:08 |
| stlsaint | corbis: is there a freenx or nx channel you could join to ask for help | 01:09 |

| thebwt | corbis: never used nx before, but I can try to help. How are you specifiying a remote user? If the syntax is like ssh, then you need to specifiy a username. if it only has a connect entry then 'username@nx-hist-ip.com' should be used. if you simply connect to the ip then it may be giving you a default user (nx in this case). | 01:48 |
| bgs100 | thewrath: ah cool | 01:48 |

| pedro3005 | bgs100, I wonder what would happen if segfault segfaulted | 01:49 |
| bgs100 | pedro3005: hm? | 01:49 |
| pedro3005 | bgs100, well, there must be some code that displays the oh-so-nice "segmentation fault". it'd be cool if THAT segfaulted | 01:50 |
| bgs100 | pedro3005: Ah, lol. | 01:50 |
| bgs100 | Yes it would. | 01:50 |
| bgs100 | Well maybe not cool for the user | 01:50 |
| bgs100 | :p | 01:50 |
| pedro3005 | the universe would probably explode | 01:51 |
| bgs100 | pedro3005: No; the segfaulting segfault case is caught as a primitive exception, but then the catching program divides by zero, causing an *im*plode | 01:52 |
| stlsaint | bgs100: +1 | 02:05 |

| hxcjonnysniper | so i upgraded thinking it would be better. and honestly its slower. and i still cant get on the internet via ethernet! =D NOT. | 03:10 |

| hxcjonnysniper | no one on this fucking chat support can do anything for me and no one will answer my forum questions. | 03:11 |
| stlsaint | hxcjonnysniper: well yelling and cussing at folks isnt going to get anyone to want to help fix your issue | 03:12 |
| stlsaint | hxcjonnysniper: you could be dealing with bad drivers, need kernel update and or a malfunctioning card | 03:13 |

| hxcjonnysniper | oh i know. but i dont know how many times ive done a ping today. im very aggravated. | 03:13 |
| hxcjonnysniper | my drivers are fine. i think they need driver updates but i cant find them. can you help me with that? | 03:14 |
| stlsaint | have you looked in your hardware menu? | 03:14 |
| stlsaint | System>Admin>Hardware | 03:14 |
| stlsaint | actually it will be in additional drivers | 03:17 |
| hxcjonnysniper | no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 03:18 |
| stlsaint | hxcjonnysniper: well if you know the card is good that you will end up coming down to it being a driver issue | 03:19 |
| stlsaint | hxcjonnysniper: then you will need to see what the driver is and start looking for bugs/patches/updates to driver | 03:19 |
| hxcjonnysniper | so it would be a driver issue? | 03:19 |
| stlsaint | hxcjonnysniper:run command: | 03:20 |

| stlsaint | dangit | 03:21 |

| hxcjonnysniper | yeah! | 03:22 |
| hxcjonnysniper | i got it. =p | 03:22 |
| hxcjonnysniper | lol. | 03:22 |
| stlsaint | alright you will need to see your driver with the lspci command so: | 03:22 |
| stlsaint | lspci <pipe> grep Ethernet | 03:23 |
| hxcjonnysniper | okay | 03:24 |
| hxcjonnysniper | now what? | 03:27 |
| stlsaint | hxcjonnysniper: with that driver info you will need to either look on launchpad or use google to see if there are some bugs with this and the 10.10 kernel. | 03:28 |
| stlsaint | im sorry but i will be unable to help as i must leave | 03:28 |

| johnny77 | Is anyone running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook. I have to be honest and not loving the changes. I can't seem to do what I want/need? | 03:47 |
| nhandler | paultag: Didn't you just install it? Or did you go back to Debian? | 03:48 |
| paultag | nhandler, yeah I did | 03:48 |
| paultag | johnny77, yeah I'm not liking it either | 03:48 |
| paultag | johnny77, the new WM is really buggy, can't enable visual effects and hard to use | 03:49 |
| paultag | johnny77, I'd downgrade to the old netbook-launcher if it's starting to get in your way ( but still in 10.10 ) | 03:49 |
| paultag | nhandler, sorry that was a bad answer. I still have UNE | 03:49 |
| paultag | Mutter is wayyyyyyyyyy too alpha for my taste | 03:49 |
| johnny77 | WM? Only recently started using Ubuntu. | 03:49 |
| paultag | Oh, sorry | 03:50 |
| johnny77 | how would I down grade? | 03:50 |
| paultag | johnny77, not sure yet. I was going to write up instructions in the morning. I think you should be able to install netbook-launcher from software sources. If you need to use the computer now, there is an option to change your session at the login menu. It's on the bottom bar. It's a drop(up) menu that says "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" right now | 03:51 |
| paultag | johnny77, change that to Ubuntu Desktop and login. That should be a temporary fix until I can help more | 03:51 |
| johnny77 | is the desktop more like the old netbook? I really liked the favorite menu in the old netbook. Is that is desktop? | 03:52 |
| paultag | johnny77, I'm afraid not. I'll write you up instructions. If check back Friday, I should have a better answer for you. I only installed it yesterday | 03:54 |
| paultag | If you * check back | 03:54 |
| johnny77 | no problem, I just installed it and was like gasp. The old menu I picked up real easy... I'll check back later. | 03:55 |
| paultag | johnny77, yeah man, I feel your pain | 03:58 |
| paultag | johnny77, sorry bout that. Ubuntu is usually better then this :) | 03:58 |
| johnny77 | it's ok. Actually I was so impressed with the last one, I'll give it some mistakes. Heck, I've been using Windows a good 15 years and still have to and they've made some mistakes. | 03:59 |
| paultag | :) | 04:04 |
| paultag | johnny77, I'll write it up after my midterms in the morning | 04:04 |
| paultag | ( if I get to it ;) ) | 04:04 |
| johnny77 | no problem, take your time. I'll come back on here later & try to catch you. I have to go... Thanks for your help. | 04:05 |

| LeMoiLib | Hello, does anyone can help me set up Sweave to run with Kile editor??? | 15:59 |
| LeMoiLib | How do I copy a script file in /usr/local/bin ??? I try using the GUI but the access is denied, how can I allow the access as the administrator? | 16:05 |
| hobgoblin | if you are ok with the command line then sudo cp path/original path/new | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | if not use root filemanager - but as I have no idea what distro or desktop environment you are using that would need a guess | 16:07 |
| hobgoblin | as far as sweave and kile go - I've never heard of either - but a quick search on google got https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-October/176615.html | 16:07 |
| LeMoiLib | I'm using Ubuntu | 16:12 |
| LeMoiLib | Lucid 10.04 | 16:12 |
| hobgoblin | gksudo nautilus /usr/local | 16:14 |
| hobgoblin | will open nautilus as root in that location - be careful - don't start deleting things while you are root | 16:14 |
| LeMoiLib | ok | 16:15 |
| hobgoblin | it will want your password | 16:15 |
| LeMoiLib | I type the password | 16:16 |
| LeMoiLib | now? | 16:16 |
| hobgoblin | when you run the command it will want the password | 16:17 |
| bioterror | remember to give that file rights to be executed | 16:19 |
| LeMoiLib | Actually a frame pop up with the password request and I typed it! Then the commend line is showing the normal prompt with my name | 16:19 |
| bioterror | sudo chmod +x /path/to/file | 16:19 |
| LeMoiLib | Bioterror is file the name of the file I want to copy there??? | 16:20 |
| bioterror | yes | 16:20 |
| LeMoiLib | But why nothing happen with the previous commend hobgoblin sugested? | 16:20 |
| bioterror | hmm | 16:21 |
| LeMoiLib | what is path? | 16:22 |
| LeMoiLib | is it the generic name | 16:22 |
| LeMoiLib | or where I want the script to go? | 16:22 |
| bioterror | usually own scripts and binaies goes to /usr/local/bin/ | 16:23 |
| LeMoiLib | Bioterror remember we are beginners here????:'( | 16:23 |
| LeMoiLib | so be very precise | 16:23 |
| LeMoiLib | retype the full command with the actual details | 16:24 |
| bioterror | okay | 16:24 |
| LeMoiLib | not generic names!!! | 16:24 |
| bioterror | where do you have that file of yours | 16:24 |
| bioterror | and whats its name | 16:25 |
| LeMoiLib | in my download file in my document in my home I think | 16:25 |
| bioterror | it might take a while from me to answer becouse of 3G connection | 16:25 |
| LeMoiLib | Thank for trying.... | 16:25 |
| aveilleux | bioterror: What's up? I might be able to lend a hand | 16:26 |
| bioterror | cd Documents | 16:26 |
| bioterror | sudo cp your.file /usr/local/bin/ | 16:26 |
| bioterror | sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/your.file | 16:27 |
| LeMoiLib | I'm lost!!!! which one do you want me to type, | 16:27 |
| LeMoiLib | ? | 16:27 |
| bioterror | all of those | 16:27 |
| LeMoiLib | ok doing it.... | 16:28 |
| LeMoiLib | sorry, is your in your.file meant for my name? | 16:29 |
| bioterror | you can use tab -key to fill the words | 16:29 |
| bioterror | you dont have type every char | 16:29 |
| LeMoiLib | I got this: sudo cp your.file/usr/local/bin/ | 16:30 |
| LeMoiLib | cp: missing destination file operand after `your.file/usr/local/bin/' | 16:30 |
| LeMoiLib | Try `cp --help' for more information. | 16:30 |
| bioterror | lemoilib, i am sorry, but you havent told me your files name | 16:30 |
| bioterror | /usr/local/bin is a place on your hard drive | 16:31 |
| hobgoblin | and you need a space between the source and destination names | 16:31 |
| bioterror | it needs to be separated | 16:31 |
| LeMoiLib | Let me start over again: I downloaded the file in /home/LeMoilib/Download which is Sweave.sh a script file for Sweave and I'm suppose to copy it to /usr/local/bin | 16:34 |
| bioterror | okay | 16:34 |
| bioterror | in terminal | 16:34 |
| bioterror | cd | 16:34 |
| bioterror | cd Download | 16:34 |
| LeMoiLib | done | 16:34 |
| bioterror | sudo cp Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin | 16:35 |

| bioterror | LeMoiLib, continue with the sudo cp -line | 16:38 |
| LeMoiLib | ok | 16:38 |
| Bodsda | hey hobgoblin | 16:38 |

| LeMoiLib | cp-line: command not found | 16:39 |
| hobgoblin | Bodsda: you good I hope :) | 16:39 |
| basil | upgrade frm cd 9.10 to 10.4 | 16:39 |
| Bodsda | hobgoblin: yep, me and my new addition to the family :) | 16:39 |
| hobgoblin | woohoo - I'll not tell you horror stories | 16:40 |
| aveilleux | basil, You mean 10.04 (the numbers are significant) | 16:40 |
| basil | yes | 16:40 |
| aveilleux | basil, Do you mean upgrade your installation? You should be able to do that through the update manager (System > Administration > Update Manager) | 16:40 |
| Bodsda | basil: ensure that you have the cd software source enabled in synaptic or /etc/apt/sources.lst | 16:40 |
| Bodsda | hobgoblin: :) | 16:41 |
| basil | but my internet is slow | 16:41 |
| hobgoblin | then you can use the alternate cd | 16:41 |
| basil | i want upgrade frm cd | 16:41 |
| basil | yes i have the cd | 16:41 |
| hobgoblin | basil - you have to use the alternate cd NOT the normal desktop one | 16:42 |
| Bodsda | basil: in Synaptic Package Manager in the sources section, ensure that the cd source is enabled. Launch Synaptic > Settings Menu > Software Sources > Tick the CD box at the bottom | 16:42 |
| LeMoiLib | bioterror I need to go for 30 min, please write all the step from the beginning if you can. Thank you trying guys! | 16:42 |
| basil | yes i ticked but not working | 16:43 |
| bioterror | lemoilib, see ya when u get back | 16:43 |
| bioterror | im myself jumping off from the train | 16:43 |
| Bodsda | basil: If that box is ticked, and a genuine cd is mounted, then the package managers will automatically get packages from the cd. | 16:44 |
| basil | tell me the step by step plz | 16:45 |
| Bodsda | basil: in the terminal, enter sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:47 |
| hobgoblin | basil: you can also from the Alt+F2 run dialogue do gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" | 16:47 |
| hobgoblin | but that is all in the links I gave you | 16:48 |
| basil | if u can do via remote desktop | 16:49 |
| hobgoblin | I won't | 16:50 |
| aveilleux | basil, The point here is that we are helping you, not doing it for you | 16:51 |

| basil | no my question | 17:01 |
| paultag | basil, can you please stop spamming, I understand you're in need of help, but please | 17:01 |
| paultag | basil, it's quite annoying. I'd rather not ban you | 17:02 |
| johnny77 | paultag: am I too early? | 17:02 |
| paultag | basil, and for installing from source? | 17:02 |
| paultag | johnny77, a wee bit. I was just about to do it now. Someone told me I need to backport, but I think you're right on time | 17:02 |

| paultag | johnny77, awesome, thanks | 17:05 |
| johnny77 | paultag: the people in this chat room have been awesome in helping me get started with Ubuntu. Least I could do it help back. | 17:06 |
| paultag | johnny77, It's how I started off with the team :) | 17:06 |
| Mohan_chml | paultag: Ohai :) | 17:08 |
| paultag | Hey Mohan_chml | 17:08 |
| Mohan_chml | sup paultag ? | 17:09 |
| paultag | Mohan_chml, just starting to work out how to get rid of Mutter in UNE | 17:09 |
| paultag | Mohan_chml, for both myself and johnny77 here | 17:09 |
| Mohan_chml | ah..! | 17:09 |
| LeMoiLib | Hello again, I was been help but needed to go somewhere: this is my problem again: Let me start over again: I downloaded the file in /home/LeMoilib/Download which is Sweave.sh a script file for Sweave and I'm suppose to copy it to /usr/local/bin | 17:09 |
| paultag | it's how you say... "Dumb as hell" | 17:09 |
| Mohan_chml | LOL :P | 17:10 |
| paultag | LeMoiLib, sudo cp /home/LeMoilib/Download/Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin | 17:10 |
| Mohan_chml | paultag: I am tired after having my dinner :) | 17:10 |
| paultag | LeMoiLib, might also need a chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh as well | 17:10 |
| hobgoblin | paultag: Downloads | 17:10 |
| paultag | LeMoiLib, and to run it, run "Sweave.sh" | 17:11 |
| paultag | hobgoblin, +1 | 17:11 |
| LeMoiLib | Hello I was being help but needed to got, I'm back. This was my problem: I downloaded the file in /home/LeMoilib/Download which is Sweave.sh a script file for Sweave and I'm supposed to copy it to /usr/local/bin but don't know how to access it because it's locked. | 17:11 |
| Mohan_chml | basil: Beware of the official channels where you will be banned for such kind of activities. Do not spam the channel please | 17:11 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: please read replies you get | 17:11 |
| basil | debian package download website | 17:13 |
| basil | tell me | 17:13 |
| paultag | gah, johnny77, it's been marked crap | 17:14 |
| paultag | johnny77, I'm going to backport it | 17:14 |
| LeMoiLib | I'm reading sorry | 17:14 |
| thebwt | basil: what are you trying to install? | 17:14 |
| basil | suggest me a good website for debian packages | 17:15 |
| thebwt | there is no such thing | 17:15 |
| Mohan_chml | basil: Please try to explain what you want, in a single line. or it will be counted as spamming and there is a possibility for bans | 17:15 |
| johnny77 | paultag: what has been marked crap? and what does that mean? Sorry don't mean to bother, but just curious want to understand. | 17:15 |
| paultag | johnny77, oh sorry, I'm using slang terms that I use in my head | 17:15 |
| hobgoblin | paultag: always a bad move | 17:15 |
| Mohan_chml | basil: there are official repositories which will be already added to synaptic package manager | 17:16 |
| paultag | johnny77, it's been marked "oldlib", and is a "transitional package", meaning that it does not install anything, it's a fake package to let people upgrade | 17:16 |
| paultag | johnny77, they're making people use Unity. So, what I'm going to do is back-port it to my PPA | 17:16 |
| LeMoiLib | paultag when do I put the +x.... command in your first suggestion? | 17:16 |
| paultag | johnny77, and you can install it from me :) | 17:16 |
| paultag | LeMoiLib, sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh | 17:16 |
| basil | how to install a package with out internet | 17:16 |
| Mohan_chml | basil: What package you want to install?? we can provide you the directories to download in accordance with the project you need | 17:17 |
| thebwt | basil: `sudo apt-get download <package-name>` | 17:17 |
| Mohan_chml | wb mathay :) | 17:17 |

| hobgoblin | they are married mathay | 17:18 |
| paultag | mathay, oh you know. straight chilling | 17:18 |
| mathay | hobgoblin: I don't know what to say. I had no idea. | 17:18 |
| Mohan_chml | mathay: Its 22:00 here. finished my dinner and headed back to the machine =] and you? | 17:18 |
| Mohan_chml | lol hi | 17:18 |
| johnny77 | paultag: Are you saying 10.10 is kinda a fake upgrade so that we use Unity? What is Unity? | 17:18 |
| Mohan_chml | hobgoblin: * | 17:18 |
| paultag | mathay, DANGER ZONE | 17:18 |
| LeMoiLib | cp: target `+x/usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh' is not a directory | 17:18 |
| paultag | mathay, DANGER ZONE | 17:18 |
| paultag | mathay, DANGER ZONE | 17:18 |
| mathay | paultag: nice, nice. We convinced Magill to cancel lab today. | 17:18 |
| paultag | mathay, that's awesome | 17:19 |
| paultag | johnny77, yeah. Unity is that new crappy interface | 17:19 |
| mathay | Mohan_chml: not much. I just got out of class. | 17:19 |
| thebwt | -team? | 17:19 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: you must use commands as they are given - the spaces are important | 17:20 |
| LeMoiLib | I typed: sudo cp /home/LeMoilib/Download/Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh as well then enter | 17:20 |
| paultag | johnny77, sorry, this will be a moment. Stick around ( and help out if you get bored ) | 17:20 |
| paultag | johnny77, I'll keep you updated | 17:20 |
| johnny77 | paultag: I'm not sure how much I can help. I've only had Ubuntu a couple weeks. | 17:21 |
| aveilleux | LeMoiLib, You have to use the carriage return | 17:21 |
| paultag | johnny77, You never know ;) | 17:21 |
| aveilleux | LeMoiLib, The commands are separate, not the same line | 17:21 |
| LeMoiLib | I asked about that!!!!! | 17:22 |
| LeMoiLib | trying again | 17:22 |
| LeMoiLib | ... | 17:22 |
| JoeMaverickSett | LeMoiLib: try doing it step by step, first: sudo cp /home/LeMoilib/Downloads/Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin | 17:22 |
| JoeMaverickSett | then comes the sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh | 17:22 |
| LeMoiLib | I typed : sudo cp /home/LeMoilib/Downloads/Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin and got | 17:25 |
| LeMoiLib | :cp: missing destination file operand after | 17:25 |
| Matthew_ | Oh hello | 17:26 |
| paultag | Matthew_, heyya | 17:26 |
| LeMoiLib | /home/LeMoilib/Downloads/Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin and got | 17:26 |
| paultag | Matthew_, what's up | 17:26 |
| Matthew_ | Hey hey | 17:26 |
| Matthew_ | Okay, I am using the new 10.10 release. | 17:26 |
| Mohan_chml | Hola Matthew_ and you can stay on #ubuntu-beginners-team too :) | 17:26 |
| Matthew_ | On a ThinkPad x200 | 17:26 |
| Matthew_ | I'm new to IRC chat as well... you can stay logged in to multiple chats at once? | 17:26 |
| hobgoblin | Matthew_: yep | 17:27 |
| Mohan_chml | yes and shoot the query Matthew_ =] | 17:27 |
| Matthew_ | I am trying to access the ThinkPad ACPI options that everybody seems to be talking about, something about setting Fancontrol options to 1, so that the fan interface can work properly | 17:27 |
| Matthew_ | I understand that ThinkPad ACPI modules have been integrated directly into Ubuntu since 2007, 2008 or so... | 17:27 |
| Matthew_ | ? | 17:27 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: can you please close and open the terminal - then run this command and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com | 17:28 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: cat .bash_history | 17:28 |
| LeMoiLib | ok | 17:29 |
| Matthew_ | I cannot seem to find at all the ThinkPad ACPI files in 10.10, they don't appear to exist? | 17:29 |
| paultag | johnny77, Testing my new build now. | 17:31 |
| johnny77 | paultag: ok, thank you. | 17:31 |
| Willex | hey people | 17:31 |
| hobgoblin | hi Willex | 17:32 |
| Mohan_chml | Matthew_: give us a minute. I think 10.10 has ACPI but I am not on it currently | 17:32 |
| Willex | is there a way you can like "flip the panel upside down" :S? | 17:32 |
| hobgoblin | not as far as I know | 17:33 |
| Willex | I mean, I deleted the lower panel and took the upper one down and now I'm using elementary theme which looks like it was designed to be on top | 17:34 |
| Willex | it looks right when I place it back up again but I don't like it there :/ | 17:34 |
| Willex | if I create a new panel it just looks the same | 17:35 |
| LeMoiLib | hobgoblin I did what you asked | 17:35 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: what is the new url? did you put a name in the name box and enter? | 17:35 |
| LeMoiLib | what are you asking? | 17:36 |
| paultag | johnny77, had a slight FTBFS setback, but I think It's almost OK now. | 17:37 |
| LeMoiLib | this is the url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/513243/ | 17:37 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: you are still not putting the spaces in - last command you ran was sudo cp /home/anselme/Downloads/Sweave.sh/usr/local/bin | 17:38 |
| hobgoblin | there must be a space between the .sh and /usr | 17:39 |
| LeMoiLib | I see, trying..... | 17:39 |
| hobgoblin | what is saying is that you have not put in the destination and it is also trying to copy a file called Sweave.sh/usr/local/bin | 17:40 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: also if the file is actually called sweave.sh then you must use s not S | 17:40 |
| LeMoiLib | ok the prompt is showing again | 17:40 |
| bioterror | filesystems used by *nix's are Case Sensitive | 17:41 |
| LeMoiLib | yes got the name right | 17:42 |
| bioterror | you can have files "diamond" and "Diamond" and even "DiaMonD" and every file is different from each other, LeMoiLib | 17:42 |
| LeMoiLib | yes understand | 17:42 |
| LeMoiLib | after that the prompt is showing now | 17:43 |
| hobgoblin | cool then the file has been copied | 17:44 |
| LeMoiLib | don't I need the chmod +x thing???? | 17:45 |
| LeMoiLib | going to check.... | 17:45 |
| hobgoblin | yes you will need that | 17:46 |
| johnny77 | Can ubuntu (setup on a dual boot with windows) write to the windows partition? Is there a way to automatically mount said partition. | 17:46 |
| hobgoblin | yes | 17:47 |
| LeMoiLib | hodgoblin the file is not there | 17:47 |
| LeMoiLib | is the yes for me? | 17:47 |
| LeMoiLib | Chmod +x??????? | 17:47 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: do you want a GUI method or an edit a file by hand solution ? | 17:48 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: the yes was not for you but the yes you will need that was | 17:48 |
| LeMoiLib | ok | 17:48 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: do this in the terminal | 17:49 |
| johnny77 | hobgoblin: Being new to ubuntu I'd feel better with a GUI if possible. | 17:49 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: ok - try the software centre first - look for pysdm and install - if it is not in software centre then use synaptic | 17:50 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: I'll get a link too | 17:50 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872197 | 17:51 |
| LeMoiLib | Thobgoblin thiss is the output: cp: cannot stat `chmod': No such file or directory | 17:51 |
| LeMoiLib | cp: cannot stat `+x': No such file or directory | 17:51 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: have you changed to the directory ? | 17:52 |
| LeMoiLib | what do yu mean? | 17:52 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: try cd /urs/local/bin then do the chmod | 17:52 |
| LeMoiLib | this is after /home/.... | 17:53 |
| LeMoiLib | then follows with what you are suggesting?? | 17:53 |
| hobgoblin | if you have n | 17:53 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: what does you prompt say please? mine is ~$ | 17:54 |
| LeMoiLib | mine also | 17:55 |
| johnny77 | hobgoblin: the link had this disclaimer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/513258/ Isn't that all I want? | 17:55 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: you can use that if you wish | 17:56 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: cd /usr/local/bin | 17:56 |
| hobgoblin | then do the chmod | 17:56 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: please read lines addressed to you - I have already told you this | 17:56 |
| LeMoiLib | sorry, you know it not easy to follow while trying also!!!!! | 17:57 |
| johnny77 | hobgoblin: It doesn't matter to me. If I do something I like to understand why. If one is better I want to use that. I'm just new and am questioning a lot of things... hope I'm not too frustrating. pysdm is installed. | 17:58 |
| paultag | johnny77, yeah, just a while more. I have to rewrite a bit of code to make it work | 17:58 |
| LeMoiLib | is there a space between +x and /usr/loca... | 17:58 |
| LeMoiLib | ? | 17:58 |
| johnny77 | paultag: NP. hobgoblin here is helping me with another issue. | 17:59 |
| JoeMaverickSett | LeMoiLib: yes | 18:00 |
| LeMoiLib | chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/bin': Operation not permitted | 18:00 |
| LeMoiLib | the output!!! | 18:00 |
| JoeMaverickSett | LeMoiLib: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh | 18:01 |
| JoeMaverickSett | not the /usr/local/bin | 18:01 |
| LeMoiLib | chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh': Operation not permitted | 18:02 |
| Bizurke | LeMoiLib, make sure you're putting "sudo" before the command | 18:02 |
| LeMoiLib | no problem this time, the cp is pointing | 18:03 |
| LeMoiLib | is the file copied? | 18:03 |
| LeMoiLib | checking...... | 18:03 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: yea I understand - I will always answer - they bioth do the same thing - as does editing the file by hand - if you want to know what happens when either do their job - look at the file that gets edited - cat /etc/fstab - it also does the creating of the necessary folders for the drive to be mounted to | 18:04 |
| LeMoiLib | No file in bin named Sweave.sh | 18:05 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: use the up arrow to back track through your commands and see where it was sent to | 18:05 |
| hobgoblin | LeMoiLib: if you still can't see it do this sudo updatedb &&locate Sweave.sh | 18:06 |
| LeMoiLib | Thank guys it show it there in usr/local/bin | 18:09 |
| LeMoiLib | Thank very much all for your time and dedication | 18:10 |
| hobgoblin | welcome | 18:10 |
| LeMoiLib | Hope I become *nix proficient very soon | 18:10 |
| LeMoiLib | Take care all | 18:10 |
| johnny77 | hobgoblin: I followed the guide. Thank you. I got it set as it said, but have not tested it because I don't want to reboot right now. | 18:13 |
| hobgoblin | johnny77: you can see if it works with sudo mount -a unless the drive is already mounted | 18:13 |
| johnny77 | hobgoblin: It's mounted. does that mean it worked? And it will auto mount at startup right? | 18:14 |
| hobgoblin | if it was not mounted and is now then yes :) | 18:16 |
| johnny77 | hobgoblin: ok thanks. Is there a way to autoconnect to a network? | 18:17 |
| hobgoblin | no idea - mine connects to ethernet and I never use wireless - I expect so though | 18:18 |
| paultag | johnny77, backporting this is a bitch. There are a lot of bits I'm having to rewrite | 18:19 |
| johnny77 | paultag: NP. I just really glad you can write them. I guess I could eventually get used to Unity, but wow it's messed up. | 18:20 |
| paultag | johnny77, Give it some time | 18:20 |
| paultag | johnny77, I need to head to class, I'll hack on this later. Follow my blog, I'll post there. That or email me or something | 18:21 |
| johnny77 | paultag: ok, np | 18:21 |

| === Mongoose is now known as bioterror | ||
| jurgen | question, if I update my xubuntu distro (have 9.10 now on server) do i need to save any files from the OS before in order for my data array to still build/work in the new distro (os isnt on array) | 19:14 |
| jurgen | using mdadm for array | 19:14 |
| tronyx | did you do any special OS configs for the array to work? | 19:16 |
| tronyx | or configuration files, etc | 19:16 |
| jurgen | i think i once edited /etc/mdadm.conf | 19:18 |
| tronyx | i'd save that file just ot be safe | 19:18 |
| tronyx | and after the update, diff the file that's there against the one you saved | 19:18 |
| tronyx | look for changes, effects of changes, etc. | 19:18 |
| tronyx | and of course, make sure anything critical is already backed up :) | 19:19 |
| jurgen | alright, does new distro have mdadm on it or will i need to apt-get it | 19:19 |
| tronyx | jesus this channel has a lot of people in it | 19:19 |
| jurgen | i cant backup 4TB thats why T.T | 19:19 |
| tronyx | yea that could be tricky | 19:19 |
| tronyx | is it RAID 5 or what? | 19:19 |
| jurgen | yes | 19:20 |
| jurgen | ive partitioned it and put ext3 on em | 19:20 |
| tronyx | i'd back up the configs or changes you made pertaining to the RAID setup and diff the configs before you reboot | 19:20 |
| jurgen | only config I can think of is /etc/mdadm | 19:21 |
| tronyx | worst case scenario ( i think )_ is that even if the box comes up and the array is broken, your data will sitll be on the disks | 19:21 |
| tronyx | assuming the integrity of the disks is ok | 19:21 |
| tronyx | drives, etc. | 19:21 |
| tronyx | done any research to see if your raid stuff has known issues under the new version? | 19:22 |
| jurgen | no all those technical logs make me dizzy | 19:23 |
| tronyx | then update and hope for the best :) | 19:23 |
| tronyx | and back up your configs | 19:23 |
| jurgen | does mdadm have a HQ I can suicide bomb if it goes bad? | 19:24 |
| jurgen | or look for help maybe :p | 19:24 |
| tronyx | looks like you would need to suicide bomb a dude named neil brown | 19:25 |
| tronyx | lol | 19:25 |
| tronyx | beyond that i can't help you much | 19:25 |
| jurgen | thanks m8 ill look into mdadm bugs on 10.4 first then | 19:25 |
| tronyx | np np | 19:28 |

| paultag | Oh he's not here | 19:32 |
| tronyx | oh not much, work and stuff | 19:32 |
| tronyx | you? | 19:32 |
| tronyx | disappointed about medal of honor, anticipating black ops | 19:33 |
| paultag | tronyx, not much, not much. Working on packaging up the fastest app I've ever written | 19:33 |
| tronyx | what does it do paultag? | 19:33 |
| paultag | tronyx, 4 hours to write it from scratch. 6 to release the first stable. 24 to package into a deb. | 19:34 |
| paultag | tronyx, it's an XDG compatible autostart daemon for Fluxbox | 19:34 |
| tronyx | very cool | 19:34 |
| tronyx | what did you write it in? | 19:34 |
| tronyx | !tronyx | 19:34 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'tronyx' not found | 19:34 |
| tronyx | does that bot still work? guess not | 19:34 |
| paultag | tronyx, c++ | 19:35 |
| paultag | tronyx, it's not votebot anymore :( | 19:35 |
| tronyx | lame | 19:35 |
| tronyx | votebot was my homeboy | 19:35 |
| tronyx | or homebot i guess one would say | 19:35 |
| paultag | heyo | 19:36 |
| tronyx | i wish steam ran on linux | 19:40 |
| mathay | tronyx: does it not run well in wine? | 19:46 |
| tronyx | eh you take big performance hits when you run games like that in wine | 19:49 |
| aveilleux | mathay, tronyx: Which game? | 19:49 |
| tronyx | bad company 2 | 19:50 |
| mathay | tronyx: gotchya. What game are you trying to run? | 19:50 |
| mathay | Ahh. | 19:50 |
| mathay | I never played that. I keep forgetting Steam incorporates more games than just Half-Life mods. | 19:50 |
| tronyx | i'm hooked on BC2 lately | 19:50 |
| tronyx | MoH was a huge letdown apparently so i didn't even bother getting it | 19:51 |
| tronyx | and now black ops looks amazing | 19:51 |
| tronyx | but modern warfare 2 had a lot of flaws, so we'll see what they do with black ops | 19:51 |
| mathay | That stinks that they don't run well in wine. | 19:52 |
| aveilleux | mathay: Well, it's to be expected if it uses a lot of processing power, especially on the GPU. Linux graphics drivers tend to be, sadly, subpar. | 19:53 |
| tronyx | very true | 19:53 |
| paultag | mathay, tell bridie to play better | 20:00 |
| aveilleux | dimbos_: Why do you want to recompile the kernel? | 20:07 |
| dimbos_ | i made some changes and i want to test them | 20:08 |
| aveilleux | dimbos_: I assume you're a developer, then, and you know what you're doing. In that case, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 20:09 |
| dimbos_ | <aveilleux>, thanx a lot! | 20:11 |
| aveilleux | dimbos_: No problem | 20:11 |
| locke | so, i just started in linux today, and my amarok won't play anything | 20:48 |
| locke | any advice, anyone? | 20:48 |
| ehcah | Does anyone if know if there is a PST import tool for either Evolution or Thunderbird? | 20:48 |
| aveilleux | locke: Define "anything". Also I assume you're using Kubuntu. | 20:49 |
| hobgoblin | locke: if you are in ubuntu install libxine1-ffmpeg | 20:50 |
| locke | yeah, it won't play anything, streams from the internet, music from my flashdrive, etc | 20:50 |
| locke | tried that guy already | 20:50 |
| hobgoblin | locke: what version of buntu ? | 20:50 |
| locke | 10.04, i think | 20:51 |
| hobgoblin | is it kubuntu or ubuntu? | 20:52 |
| locke | kubuntu | 20:52 |
| hobgoblin | but you could run it from the terminal and see what you get there - might well show an error | 20:53 |
| locke | how do i do that? | 20:53 |
| bioterror | locke, alt+f2 and type "konsole" without "" | 20:56 |
| bioterror | and when it opens you a terminal, you can type "amarok" | 20:56 |
| bioterror | without"" ;) | 20:56 |
| locke | it opens alright, no errors or anything | 20:58 |
| locke | still won't play though | 20:58 |
| aveilleux | locke: Is it echoing any errors to the console? | 20:59 |
| locke | i wish i knew what that meant, how do i check? | 20:59 |
| locke | feel free to bail when my ineptitude starts to irritate you haha | 20:59 |
| aveilleux | locke: Look at the terminal you opened Amarok from..? | 21:00 |
| locke | ...right | 21:00 |
| hobgoblin | try and play something and see if the konsole says anything | 21:01 |
| locke | demux_wavpack: (open_wv_file:127) open_wv_file: non-seekable inputs aren't supported yet. | 21:02 |
| tronyx | and there you have your problem | 21:03 |
| tronyx | strange question, but have you tried using VLC locke? | 21:03 |
| tronyx | i believe that it can repair and play items that might be non-seekable | 21:04 |
| locke | ahhh yeah, i thought it sounded familiar | 21:04 |
| tronyx | sudo apt-get install vlc | 21:04 |
| locke | i'm trying to get my amarok to play music though | 21:04 |
| tronyx | all MP3s? | 21:05 |
| tronyx | sounds like it's a problem with the file itself rather than the player, but i say that based solely on the verbose error | 21:05 |
| tronyx | amarok is claiming that the track is non-seekable, and amarok itself doesn't support that type of file | 21:05 |
| locke | yeah, i was just doing something dumb, all better | 21:06 |
| locke | thanks for the VLC though, that'll come in handy | 21:06 |
| tronyx | happens all the time, glad it's fixed | 21:06 |
| locke | thanks to you too, hobgoblin | 21:06 |

| bioterror | I know something about conky | 22:09 |
| channel9news | well, i found a good how-to on lifehacker.com, but i'm running kubuntu off of a tiny partition of my harddrive | 22:10 |
| channel9news | and i don't think it installed, cuz i don't have one of the files | 22:10 |
| bioterror | http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/59/my-conky-config/ that discussion is full of conky.cfg's | 22:12 |
| bioterror | just for your pleasure | 22:12 |
| bioterror | but I warn you, more you put stuff on your conky, more it will eat CPU | 22:12 |
| bioterror | my 1.6GHz Pentium M laptop went from fast to slow when I added different kind of bars | 22:12 |
| channel9news | awesome, thanks man | 22:13 |
| slim | hey anybody know where i can get the kubuntu compiler file? my didn't install correctly | 22:23 |
| bioterror | could you be more specific | 22:23 |
| slim | i tried sudo apt-get install gcc | 22:23 |
| slim | and got | 22:23 |
| slim | Package gcc is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source | 22:23 |
| bioterror | what does it say? | 22:24 |
| slim | E: Package gcc has no installation candidate | 22:24 |
| bioterror | sudo apt-get install gcc-4.5 | 22:24 |

| bioterror | Get:2 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main gcc-4.4 i386 4.4.4-14ubuntu5 [3,074kB] | 22:26 |
| bioterror | I got it | 22:26 |
| bioterror | just by typing sudo apt-get install gcc | 22:27 |
| bioterror | is your repository okay? | 22:27 |
| slim | its running now | 22:28 |
| slim | i hadn't updated haha | 22:28 |
| slim | hence, my presence in this particular forum | 22:28 |
| bioterror | you made me to install gcc, maybe I should compile something now :D | 22:28 |

| james102 | hi all, I'm currently on my buddy's computer because I am installing ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, and it won't let me proceed with the installation past the "Who Are You" page | 23:13 |
| james102 | I have filled out every field, but the Forward button is still greyed out | 23:13 |
| bioterror | could the installer be crashed | 23:13 |
| bioterror | I've heard it might happen | 23:13 |
| james102 | I don't think so, because I can go back all the way to the time zone selection and edit those pages | 23:13 |
| bioterror | okay | 23:14 |
| james102 | At the bottom it says "Getting the time from a network time server" | 23:15 |
| ElvisTheKing | Hi i am new in Ubuntu. Kdevelop is the place to start? | 23:15 |
