rocketspoena, yeah, there should be something somewhere called additonal drivers.00:00
rocketsDulak, thanks man. On netbook its called Additional Drivers.00:01
rocketspoena, yaeh, dulak is right, It's called additonal drivesr on netbook.00:01

squirrel2How can I find the location of a program that i use in terminal (ie. if I type, 'adb', a program is run, but where is it stored?)00:02
rocketspoena, yeah it looks like you have an atheros wifi.00:03
trismsquirrel2: which programname00:03
webbensquirrel2: which adb00:03
poenauh oh00:03
rocketsWhat happens if you hit the keyboard shortcut to start wifi? Maybe you turned it off :-P00:03
webbensquirrel2: Note the referent might be a symlink not a binary00:03
poenaer not sure i have one, sec00:03
rocketspoena, usually fn-something00:03
poenais having atheros wifi = bad?00:03
rocketspoena, no, it's part of the stock kernel. usually works great.00:03
KM0201poena, no..my experience, they work out of the box00:03
rocketsIntel is best for Linux though.00:03
poenayay :)00:04
squirrel2trism: It's Android Debug Bridge. But I'm asking generally really, how can I find where the binary is?00:04
KM0201poena, which atheros does the machine have00:04
LucidGuyWindows7 update seems to have messed up my grub2.  Suggestions how to reinstall/repair my previous grub2 and both OS options?00:04

KM0201rockets, that one works out of the box(i have it on 2 laptops)... it's worked out of the box since... 9.0400:05
poenai hit the Fn-Wifi but it doesnt seem to do anything00:05
poenalet me check the BIOS00:05
rocketsKM0201, thus, I asked him to check if he accidentally turned his wifi off.00:05
shnoozican i run live 910 toram?00:05
KM0201rockets, what version of ubuntu is he using?...00:05
rocketsshnoozi, I could be wrong, but I don't remember any ubuntu live cd supporting toram00:05

poenaKM: yes I am running 10.1000:06
Dulakshnoozi: you have to burn a custom livecd to boot to ram, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM00:07
Askorockets: one question, lets say that im using 10.10 and there comes a 20.20 version...do i need to format or update manager will take care of it?00:07
KM0201hmm, unusual00:07

poenais it possible to not use this side panel in 10.10 and only have the top icon bar?00:09
=== subay^^ is now known as gubus
rocketspoena, heh it's alright. My dad constantly hits the "Wifi Off" switch on his laptop, and always calls me on the phone to fix it, and its always the same problem :-P00:09
rocketspoena, you mean on netbook edition?00:10
poenaja00:10
rocketspoena, no, but in the next version (11.04), you're going to be able to set the sidebar to autohide.00:10
* KM0201 hates NBR.. installs normal gnome on his netbook.00:10
RudyValenciaIs it safe to remove Compiz if I'm using a laptop with a slow nVidia card (GeForce4 Go 440)?00:10
poenawhy the heck would they make a 'wifi off' button00:10
rocketspoena, try to get used t oit.00:10
rocketspoena, save battery when you don't need wifi.00:10
KM0201poena, all laptops have them to my knowledge00:10
poenareally?00:10
rocketsKM0201, mine doesn00:10
poenaheh wow00:10
poenaidk i would never use my laptop if it wasn't connected00:10
rocketsKM0201, mine doesnt have a physical one, and the software one doesnt work in ubuntu00:10
poenawell unless im playing music or streaming00:10
KM0201poena, really.. my laptop and my netbooks all do.00:11
Dulakpoena: when you logout, you can choose a plain gnome session instead of unity, then rework the panels how you like, that's what I ended up doing on my netbook.00:11

sinisterstufok I'm back again, is it possible to do an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 using chroot environment, all the packages have allready been downloaded00:11
rocketsThe problem with my dad's wifi off button is that its touch sensitive. So easy to hit by accident.00:11
poenacan't disable in the BIOS?00:11
RudyValenciaIs it safe to remove Compiz if I'm using a laptop with a slow nVidia card (GeForce4 Go 440)?00:11
rocketspoena, possibly?00:11
Dulakpoena: logout, click your name in the list, at the bottom there will be a session dropdown, just choose gnome there instead of unity00:11
rocketsRudyValencia, you don't need to remove it. You can just disable it.00:11

shadeswhat's wrong?00:14
volcom7205alright I have a toshiba satellite model l655-s5072 and i have ubuntu 10.04 installed. The problem is that it doesnt recognize my battery. It always says im on ac power and doesnt offer battery power options in the power management menu. ne ideas??00:14
rocketsshades, thats because it's up to date relative to the package in the ubuntu repository.00:14
Xpistos__cool__: that worked thanks00:14
rocketsshades, ubuntu repositories don't magically update to the latest version of software. it has to be compiled by a dev, and then added to the repository.00:14
Xpistoscd ..00:14

Dulakpoena: not sure I never used that netbook interface, I booted into it the first time, and realized it didn't really make things better, so I use gnome, with 1 panel, and docbarx in that panel, instead of the normal netbook interface00:16

patrykim Poladn00:17
rocketsDulak, I love the netbook interface. Gives me more vertical screen space.00:17
shadesrockets: old version doesn't have --direct or -d00:17
shadeswhich is more reliable00:17
shaunoJDPerry: my understanding (completely untested) is that it should work as far as any other ipod does.  anything phone-specific (or hardware-specific, like updating firmware, etc), you're outta luck00:18
nm5tfanyone having problems after upgrading from 10.04LTS to 10.10???00:18
shaunoJDPerry: I think the 'out of luck' bit extends as far as applications too (since you can't add anything that isn't signed)00:19
Dulakrockets: you can get more using 1 panel in gnome actually, it's the maximus window management program that strips your windows and force maximizes them that gives you that extra space, not the unity interface.  Unity is more space than gnome with a single panel.00:19
JDPerrysee that is what i thought, but its not even mounting00:19

allquixoticA friend with a Windows laptop wants to install Ubuntu to a USB HDD, putting GRUB on the USB HDD and not touching any bits whatsoever on the internal HDD.

What is the most painless set of instructions I can provide for installing Ubuntu 10.10 to the USB HDD in this case?01:14
Sean93nothing happens when i run fdisk -l01:15
eyesofibadIt puts me in busybox01:15
digitalstimulusSean93, try rebooting and press your bios entry key, Usually Del, F2, F1, or something similar01:15

sporkboyn207go, I'm working with the same thing. I've found that with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it boots into vesa mode just fine (after I installed xserver-xorg-video-vesa)01:48
poenasudo iwconfig sees my wireless card, but its not picking up via gui01:49
xphlakhello01:49
arvut__luig1: unless you can find a way to bind it to something else then I suggest looking into the programming of your keyboard driver and se if you can modify it. I wouldn't bother tho as help can be useful if you get stuck01:49

dijonyummyi'm trying to partition my hd for dual boot. i'm thinking its okay to give a bit more to my windows 7 partition, because i can easily mount and access file on it when linux is booted, but not the other way around. is that what you guys think and do?01:49

astropirateyonahw, i'm running regular old ubunut but i wanted to try KDE also so i installed that as well.   and it doesn't matter if i install something or remove it always gets in the way and i can't do anything02:06
WFeatherDoes anyone know if it is possible to put the Unity Overlay/Interface on a regular Ubuntu 10.10 install? Also Can you disable just the touch feature and use the digitizer on a Tablet PC?02:07
izinucsdijonyummy: no.. you shouldn't do that.. if you need windows access make /home ext3 and then install the ext3 driver in windows02:07
nikolaizinucs, or he could just have some middle fat32/ntfs partition02:07
gdawgrancidGot a couple of problems I've been having for a while.  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and the internet seems to cut out every now and then for a few minutes.  This has happened at 3 different locations, including my school campus, and has happened when connected to a wireless network or with an ethernet cable02:07
yonahwastropirate: I would try what izinucs mentioned02:07
astropirateyonahw, and i tried what  you wrote in one line and it just gave me the same error02:07
astropiratewoops sorry izinucs said that not you :p02:07
izinucsnikola: yes.. preferably ntfs over fat32.. at least then he'll have journaling02:08
dijonyummyis there a good free ext3 driver for windows 702:08
Blue1izinucs: i have found it never a good idea to let windows play with any linux fs.02:08
astropiratei tried it and it gave me the same error. the brocken package got in the way02:08
izinucsdijonyummy: not sure about 7 but xp sure.. google02:08
PaulNMyonahw: I've been doing that. For some reason xterm will open, but I can't type in it.  So i had to go to another console and write a simple script to start matacity, which fails.02:08
gdawgrancidAlso, I've sometimes had a problem where I'm typing something and the text highlights itself and everything I try typing after that will pretty much just erase itself.  It stops if I click a few times on some other part of the screen, but its getting pretty annoying at this point02:08
Blue1izinucs: and you can create samba shares, it's what I do.02:08
yonahwastropirate: I am certainly no expert but I think your problem stems from Ubuntu assuming you are running kubuntu since you are running kde. Have you tried apt under gnome?02:08

ilovefairuzRichiie: aren't they on the same networking sharing the same external IP address? no it won't "crash" the second, you just need to configure router to open ports for each one03:04

gregoruHow come the alternate CD works when installing/partitioning encrypted LVM drives on some laptops but it refuses to work and hangs at 73 "base system install" on my fattop?05:54
bluelfActionParsnip,  I dint knew. Typing stuff is much easier..next time i will try server commands first .. thanks05:54
ActionParsnipelias_: for me you can type act then press tab ;)05:54
Quan-Time_never had a problem before. which is worrying05:54

kamaleshsileni:  Yes05:59
TaevHey Im trying to get rid of unnecessary processes, and there are a few Im not sure what they do, is Account Information Resolver (winbind) important?06:00
Quan-Time_Khedron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/514815/06:00
ActionParsnipTaev: if you use wine you need winbind06:00
KhedronQuan-Time_: yip ath9k :/06:01
gregoruencrypted LVM and almost exactly the same configuration of the drives, but the regular computer for some odd reason hangs at 73% of the base system install.06:01
pi3chtried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451241 and now I got persian support in terminal. Cheers.06:01
JimmioTaev: May I ask why you want to get rid of unnecessary processes..? Most just sit there doing nothing anyway xP06:01
Taevwhat about CPU Frequency Manager (Powernowd)06:01
ActionParsnipJimmio: uses less resources :)06:01
gregoruBeen trying this for 7 times now I think.06:01
Quan-Time_Khedron: so what does that mean ?06:01
ActionParsnipJimmio: more secure06:01
RudyValenciahm, is Getdeb down?06:01
TaevExactly ActionParsnip06:01
RudyValenciaI can't go to it06:01
Taevso what about CPU Frequency Manager (powernowd)06:01
JimmioOh boy.. this audio issue is getting on my nerves. Where are the pulse config files located?06:02
KhedronQuan-Time_: well, frankly the cards are crap and the drivers are hit and miss at the moment, I gave up waiting and changed them, but that was a year ago, let me check now if it's been resolved06:02
ActionParsnipJimmio: ~/.pulse*06:02
Taevwhat about Power Management (apmd) ?06:02
Taevis that important?06:02
Quan-Time_Khedron: ah.. its all comming back to me.. 10.04 was quite stable tho.. weird06:03
JimmioH.. hmm.. Utility to change settings..? ahaha..06:03
ActionParsnipTaev: http://guvnr.com/pc/ubuntu-disable-services/  has a list 20% of the way down06:04
JimmioNo simple config files anymore.06:04
KhedronQuan-Time_: the drivers are in kernel now but, some are a lot better than others06:04
Quan-Time_ah ok06:04
ActionParsnipTaev: you can remove brltty if you don't use braille :)06:04
KhedronQuan-Time_: I got better results by compiling the cvs code but thats a pain06:04
Quan-Time_Khedron: cvs *shudder*06:04
gregoruI tryed to google the issue I am having but no useful results other than people giving up is the result.06:04
KhedronQuan-Time_: do you get problems like dropping out if you try and download a large file? that was mostly where it broke for me06:04
Khedronyeah lol06:05
Taevok 2nd question, I dual boot, and I deleted this file on my Windows HD, and now when ever i try to boot to it, Grub gives me an error06:05
TaevError 15 file something is missing06:05
Quan-Time_Khedron: its really random. sometimes its PERFECT.. saying that, i do have a torrent running, and tis contsantly dropping.. could be the issue06:05
Taevif I reinstalled grub, do you think that would fix that problem?06:05
Quan-Time_multiple port connecitons kill it06:05
KhedronQuan-Time_: that would be doing it06:05
KhedronQuan-Time_: do a dmesg | grep phy06:05
Quan-Time_ugh lame.06:05
KhedronI had 1000s of errors of those, something about associating06:06
gregoruQuan-Time_, do you have some useful advice for my encrypted LVM install ?06:06
JimmioI'll brb.06:06
Quan-Time_Khedron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/514817/06:06
Quan-Time_gregoru: nope sorry.. when i reburnt on different brand DVD, it worked fine..06:07
Quan-Time_tried a few times to sort it out, never could06:07
Quan-Time_but it did freeze for some reason..06:07
KhedronQuan-Time_: hmm maybe its not turned on, you can load the module with verbose logging to show errors, its been a while since I did it, but the ath drivers really are horrible06:07
gregoruSo even if the CD I burnt it to worked fine for a couple of laptops I should reburn it to get it working for my regular computer ?06:07
gregoruOr try that is.06:08
Quan-Time_Khedron: i have a cable in atm. i COULD try to do it with no cable on wifi, but ill probably time out06:08
tioxI now know why I never had a side by side option to begin with.06:08
Quan-Time_gregoru: its how i did it.. some dvdroms hate certain brand media.. its crap, but its life06:08
KhedronQuan-Time_: the bugs are upstream at http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k06:08
tioxThe hard drive on the other PC I was using was 19.9 gigabytes.06:08
tioxThat's right, the hard drive was that small.06:09
gregoruI see how that could be the problem.06:09
Khedronthere really is very little you can do, other than go round and round to find a driver that works best06:09
tioxI am now installing on a different machine and I got a side by side option.06:09
gregoruAnybody had any problems when doing a full drive encryption ?06:09
Khedrongregoru: no, working fine on two laptops here06:09
Quan-Time_Khedron: cheers for the help.. ill head off and start diggin around the net and see what i can come up with.. thanx again !!06:09
KhedronQuan-Time_: if its a full blown laptop, often the card is underneath a flap, easy to get to06:10
sprockets2000guys I just installed ubuntu on a notebook of mine, I have no network so is there a place I can just download the b43 STA OR the other driver and copy it over preferably in .deb format06:10
Khedronoften easier to just buy a totally supported mini pci06:10
gregoruSame here, working fine on 2 of my laptops but refuses to even install on my regular fatcomp.06:10
tioxsprockets2000: First see if a network exists at all.06:10
Khedrongregoru: you using the alternative cd?06:10
gregoruyes06:10
tioxIf you are receiving nothing or no wifi, then you're at the mercy of these guys.06:11
Khedroncan it install without encryption, aka not a modulenot being loaded?06:11
gregorualternate CD on one laptop and USB install on a EEE netbook both worked, the regular fatlap stuck at 73% of the base install :/06:11
xixorhowdy y'all06:11
Khedronahh, at 73% unlikely to be a module then06:11
KhedronI have had freezing problems once or twice on my server, often just doing it again often works06:12
gregorucrap cant remember exactly what it said where it stuck.06:12
sprockets2000well i know I have a network but I need the driver06:12
gregorulike updating apt sources or something similar.06:12
sprockets2000and since is propritary I guess this os cant provide it with the instll disk06:12
Khedrongregoru: have you tried just doing it again? pita but often it's just a glitch06:13
gregoruupdating the list of available sources.06:13
gregoruIve tried it 7 times on my fatcomp so far.06:13
Khedronalways sticks at the same point?06:13
gregoru6.5 hours trying so far :D06:13
gregoruyes06:14
gregoru73% of base system install06:14
gregorusaying updating the list of available sources.06:14
Eighteensgregoru, mine was sticking at 73% of base install also, i re-recorded the iso at a slower speed, and it worked after that06:14
gregoruEighteens how come mine worked fine installing at a laptop 3 times in a row :)06:15
gregoruthats the weird part.06:15
smerdykohi chan, I was wondering if someone could help me mount what is ostensibly a failed drive06:15
gregoruSame exact disc and setup06:15
Khedronthe optical drive might not like it so much06:15
smerdykoI have it plugged into an enclosure, and it's not making the death sound it was when I pulled it out of my lappy, but I need to get some data off of it06:15
Khedronit's why I mostly use a usb key, skips all of that06:15
gregoruI have one single disc of a different brand left to try burning it to :)06:16
gregoruat slowest possible rate and see what happens06:16
Khedrongregoru: it shouldn't crash it, but is your network on there being identified properly?06:17
gregoruYes Khedron06:17
gregoruIt identifes properly and no problems.'06:17
KhedronI would suggest possibly trying the network install then06:17
_Neytiri_i am haveing a issue with my network interface06:17
gregoruTried removing the cable for the network still stuck at 73%06:18
gregorunetwork install ?06:18
Khedronyeah, there is an alternative install and a network install06:18
_Neytiri_its a gbic interface but its running at 100m the switch is gbic the cable is a good cat6 cable06:18
Khedronthe network install lets you do all the encryption etc, but pulls all packages from the net like the original debian06:18
gregoruhm,m06:19
William_hi06:19
Khedrongregoru: sec see if I can find it, as it's pretty buried06:19
gregoruShould work well on 100mbit but did not see that install iso06:19
Khedronno it's hidden06:20
gregoruThe boring this is the install probably works on the non "alternate" CD06:20
gregoruI had 10.04 installed without any problems on the regular installdisc.06:20

SeanInSeattleHey all.  I've installed apache 2.3.8 and installed from source.  I wasn't aware that it wouldn't put apache into the same directory that ubuntu would normally install it to when installing from the dpkg in the repos.  It seems to have installed it to /usr/local/apache2.  I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to move that whole directory into /etc/ to match ubuntu style?06:25
Khedronmore...configurable06:25
gregoruHow fast was that ?06:25
Khedronfaster than dban06:26
Khedrondban often doesn't put the drive into dma and stuff06:26
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, /etc is for configurations, not apache installs06:26
SeanInSeattlec8nv1ct:  ok.  so its fine to have it live where it was placed originally?06:27
Khedrongregoru: with modern drives you rarely need more than 3 passes and a zeroing anyhow06:27
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, i dont think it really matters where the binaries/libs are, symlink any configs to /etc/apache2 if you need to06:27
MemnochxxShould upgrading a wubi installation generally be avoided?06:28
gregoru3 passes= 1 run I presume including a zeroing06:28
gregoruanyhow is that netboot like 13M ?06:28
Khedronit is06:28
gregorugoodie06:28
KhedronI use it on a pxe install06:28
SeanInSeattlec8nv1ct:  When its installed from source, do I need to manually add the apache directory to my path?06:28
gregoruOnly have a burning optic left :P06:28
Khedronso I just boot from the network and install them from that06:29
GryllidaHello! What is this distribution prominent for? It has read/write ntfs preinstalled, gnome (like many others), linux kernel (like many others), what else?06:29
Khedronsame with knoppix06:29
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, why does it need to be in your path?06:29
gregorumini.iso ? is that it ?06:29
Khedronthe mini.iso is to burn yes06:29
SeanInSeattlec8nv1ct:  I don't know.  I'm just learning some of this sys admin stuff.06:29
gregoruthis will be interesting :)06:29
Khedronthe other files are to network boot06:29
xixoryo, so, I can browse to an smb share on a windows computer using the KDE file browser dolphin, I can copy files, etc, but I cannot stream the files when I open them with vlc, what gives?06:30
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, you might want to stick to managed packages until you learn some more then and avoid compiling by hand06:30
Khedrongregoru: if you're on a fast network, its faster to do it that way lol06:30
SeanInSeattlec8nv1ct:  The only way that I'm going to learn this stuff is by doing it.  Not by shying away from it.06:30
gregoru100mbit in/out is that still faster than a ALT.iso ?06:30
Khedronyes06:31
Khedronway faster06:31
Khedronyour network will be faster than cdrom access speeds06:31
SeanInSeattlec8nv1ct:  So, as I understand you, it doesn't matter if the apache2 directory is on the system path, yes?06:31
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, true, but by doing what you did, you shifted the responsibility of maintaining the package on to yourself.  are you capable of keeping up with security patches yourself?06:31
gymophettI have Ubuntu as the host OS, and Windows XP as guest OS in Virtualbox. I insert my SD card, and the card doesn't pop up in the windows xp virtual machine. how do i make it do so?06:31
gregoruCant remember how fast a 52x cd reads would have answered myself if I knew :P06:31
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, learn to swim in the shallow end ;)06:31
SeanInSeattlec8nv1ct:  Yes, I don't want my server to be upgrading automagically. :)06:31
Khedrongregoru: not 100meg ;)06:31
Khedroncourse, depends on the mirror used06:32
gregoruMy sata writes at 140mb/s I think06:32
c0nv1ctSeanInSeattle, you choose when to run `apt-get upgrade`06:32
Khedronshould be way faster than the alt cd then06:32

Dr_Williskamalesh:  many laptops have a special FN-Somthing key that toggles the internal display and external.  Or are you wantuing to use both at the same time?06:34
kamaleshDr_Willis:  but it doesnt work in Ubuntu :)06:34
tioxMmmkay, I wanna ask.06:35
kamaleshDr_Willis: Oh sorry, the OS is Ubuntu 10.10 64bit06:35
Dr_Williskamalesh:  mine do.  but its proberly chipset specific. I dont use ATI. I only have nvidia box's06:35
tioxWhy in the installer are we forced to begin with lower case?06:35
Dr_Willistiox:  claify what you are asking...06:35
AbhiJiti installed the dropbox nautilis addon. but where it goes? cant find it06:35
Memnochxxtiox your username? because it has to be lower case.06:35
tioxI just received an error when I wanted to begin my username with a capital letter.06:36
tioxBut why? What's the significance?06:36
AbhiJitnvm06:36
kamaleshDr_Willis: The screens work fine, i can change the screen back to my laptop screen, but in my ATI Catalyst Control center, the primary display is the external monitor06:36
Dr_Willisbecause in linux Case is siginificant.  MixxEdCaSe does not get maped  to lowercase equilivents like it does in other OS's06:36
Memnochxxthat can't be the reason Dr_Willis06:37
Dr_Williskamalesh:  for my nvidia stuff. theres a check box to make this display the primary.  No idea on ati.06:37
Dr_WillisMemnochxx:  why not..06:37
MemnochxxBecause that's no reason to disallow lower case if case is significant.06:37
Dr_Williscould be grandfathered in stuff also.. could also be to dissalow 2 users like Bill and bill getting confused.06:37
mtx_initin firefox aboutconfig what does this mean distribution.canonical.bookmarksProcessed;true06:38
tioxmtx_init: Might mean bookmarks from another OS.06:38
Dr_Willistry adding a user with adduser command with Different Cases  see if it works,06:38
kamaleshDr_Willis:  Hm, Ok :)06:38

`3ShadesSo my hard drive is filling up and I want to use a USB drive I bought for installing things onto. My problem is every time I use the synaptic package manager or apt-get it puts things directly onto my main drive, can I adjust this or use a command to change this?06:40
Dr_WillisEveryone was making a big deal about the font in beta.. Now that its actually out. You dont hear much about it.06:40
tioxSame thing that happens to lots of things.06:40
Dr_Willis`3Shades:  not really.  How much space are you using for / anyway? You can move some directories to other partitions and free up some space.06:41
JoeMaverickSettAbhiJit: i know the repo.06:41
AbhiJitDr_Willis, i need it to tpye the indian rupee symbol06:41

Dr_Willis`3Shades:  users wine/home dir are not the kind of 'programs' we are refering to.06:44

jebadiahey guys u just installed a nvidia video card and set it up to have a second desktop t=restarted to get it all ready and now umbuntu boots to a console instead of a desktop know wjhats up06:47
Dr_WillisThis is comming from someone that has 8+GB in his wallpaper directory06:47
`3Shadestiox, but I need it ... trust me lol06:47
`3ShadesA lot of my stuff is you need this lib and it's dependancies are this.. ect.06:47
tioxI am running Ubuntu off a 8GB USB drive because I want to, some time in the future get Windows working on it again.06:47
tioxThen after that, I plan on buying a Ubuntu laptop with wwhatever money I can scrape up.06:47
tioxPreinstalled, so I know everything works.06:48
chrissaveryJoeMaverickSett: read up on the mount command. You can mount a partition wherever you need. Then you can make it permanent in the /etc.fstab file. man mount, man fstab06:48
Dr_Willis`3Shades:  normal stuff from the package manager system. I find it hard to belive you have used that to fill up  most of a 60gb HD.. now take like 4 windows games in the wine dir.. I can see THAT taking up most of a 60gb HD.06:48
`3ShadesI think this is a feature for updates...06:48
Dr_Willis`3Shades:  theres alwways the apt-cache directory you can clear out to free up a few GB.06:48

tioxBecause I might want to dump it too, but I want to be sure of it's purpose.06:51
`3Shadesyeah I have virtual boxes from dos 4.0 to windows vista ultimate installed... heh.. *sheepish look*06:51
Dr_Willistiox:  /var/cache/apt/archives/ has a cache of most all yoru .deb files the package manager has downloaded.06:51
Dr_Willistiox:  ive seen it get a few GB large befor.06:51
tioxWell them, if I remove these, say i don't want a program anymore, will it then not uninstall?06:51
`3ShadesI even got a copy of windows 2.0 oh yeah lol06:51
`3Shadesit's a shell to run word lol06:52
tioxBecause I assume apt-cache is just an uninstall dir.06:52

barbsevenI have a macbook pro 5,5; I love ubuntu and am getting ready to make the switch to ubuntu again, but I have tried it once before, everything does work after some playing around, but one issue i have with it is, the wireless takes forever to connect, like 5 minutes, its the airport extreme. ubuntu supplies the B43 and STA broadcom driver. but these don't work very well, and when my download speed is topping out the wireless 07:34

ImAlivehey check this out, though i have the official maverick release, terminal reported, Distribution: Ubuntu maverick --------->(development branch)      "whats all that about" ?08:29

ActionParsnipTy08:30
ImAlivegoodness grashesh08:30
jackie89... Are you going to sleep?08:30
ActionParsnipOn a bus home so I have time :)08:30
GneaActionParsnip: nice08:30
ActionParsnipThen definately sleep08:30
jackie89Oh, I'm so happy!  I got confused when rebooting.08:30
GneaImAlive: may I pm?08:31
ActionParsnipjackie89: as soon as the system starts to power on(before anything loads) hold the shift key08:31
ActionParsnipGnea: andchat ftw :)08:31
jackie89When I hit shift, it gave me two choices:  F2 for Set Up, F12 for boot options.  When I picked F2, It had 'main', 'advanced', 'security', 'boot', and 'exit' tabs.08:31
GneaActionParsnip: wish I could get that...my phone's been dumbed down so much in the past year ;(08:32
ActionParsnipjackie89: you don't press anything except shift08:32
jackie89And when i hit F12 it froze until i hit 'enter', then i couldn't move my mouse around08:32
jackie89But i didn't... i even waited but 'shift' acted like a freeze until it gave me those two options.08:32
jackie89Should i have just held shift until something came up?08:32
ActionParsnipGnea: getting a desire next possibly. I like a qwerty kboard08:32
ActionParsnipjackie89: yes, let that stuff sit08:33
jackie89Ohhhhh, i see.08:33

olivierDoes someone know how to print on a shared printer without being logged in on the server ?08:33
strikerSearching ... was discovered that changed the option to change GDM Themes from the ubuntu 4.10 version .... also discovered how to change login screen ... but do not install the downloaded packages of these sites. is there some way to unpack the tar.gz file and manually install themes ?????08:33
ActionParsnipGnea: this guy is driving crazy fast. If I gotta jet then jackie89's hostname is different to the one in /etc/hosts and sudo fails etcetc08:34
Gneaolivier: yeah, setup samba to control sharing through cups08:34
GneaActionParsnip: oh man, that's crazy talk lol08:35
ActionParsnipGnea: yep so off to root recovery :(08:35
olivierGnea: I do not use windows pcs on my home network, it's pure cups printing. So far, I can't print unless someone is logged in on the server who shares the printer08:35
nastjust so i got this right....an incorrect hosts entry can stop the OS from booting? :<08:35
Dr_Willisnast:  never noticed the issue..  It can cause other issues however..08:35
ActionParsnipnast: stops sudo working. It should still boot afaik08:35
Gneaolivier: then you clearly missed the point. it doesn't matter if there are any windows pc's or not.08:36
strikerhi all thanks for nothing !08:36
nastahh. thats curious [i'm a su kinda person]08:36
* Gnea looks oddly at striker 08:36
eric_does anyone know of a way to incorporate the ubuntu folder sync in ubuntu 9.04 and 10.10 with a local server instead of ubuntu one?08:36
ActionParsnipnast: systems use loopback to talk to ports on the same system. If it uses "localhost" instead of the 127.0.0.1 IP, it will fail due to dns lookup08:37
Dr_Willisstriker:  the old gdm themes dont work with the n ewer gdm. and as far as i know theres not many themes out for the gdm2 yet. you could installt he old gdm if you wanted to08:37
ActionParsnipstriker: the login screen is visible for around 3 seconds. Why care so much?08:37
olivierGnea: You mean, there's no way to do that without samba printer sharing ? cups can't enable printing without a user being logged in ?? sounds odd08:37
Dr_Willisstriker:  theres other alternatives to GDM2 also you may want.08:37
Dr_WillisThe change from gdm1 to gdm2 came about.. Hmm..  like a year ago? i think.08:38

nastif sudoers has ALL as the host in the field for that user, would it still need /etc/hosts or dns?08:40

greenmang0is it possible to specify user's password on command line using sudo?08:40

Gneaolivier: of course, there's also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu08:41

nasti would have thought it would getuid(), check /etc/sudoers, do hostname lookups if needed due to use of hostnames in file, then setuid ()and exec(), or something08:42
Gnea_Techie_: why not the bottom left or right corner?08:43
greenmang0ActionParsnip: no... that's not i am asking ... i don't want sudo to prompt for password... let's say i want to get root access .. i will fire "sudo su -" .. but this will prompt me for my password ... instead i want to specify passsword on command line only so that without prompting  for password i will get root access08:43

raz_is it better to install PAE on my 32bit ubuntu or install the 64bit edition, so i can have available all 8gb of ram?08:44
Gneagreenmang0: sudo -i would be better than sudo su08:44
_Techie_Gnea, its not to hide the cursor, its to allow me to use a Xterm without a window manage if i need to08:44
_Techie_Gnea, when i use xinit to load another X session with an Xterm, i cant input unless the pointer is ontop of the terminal08:45
ActionParsnipgreenmang0: use: sudo -i ,and you will get a root console. Doingwhat you propose will severely reduce system security08:45
greenmang0Gnea: but it also prompts for a password08:45
Dr_Willisgreenmang0:  putting the password in the command line can be a security risk. (i belive that other users mightbe able to see the command line/programs running  somehow) So  what you are wanting to do I think requires a bit of a work around.08:45
ActionParsnipraz_: pae can access 12gb ram. Depends on what the system will be used for08:45
Gnea_Techie_: actually, what you're asking for is for the xterm to keep the focus, not for the mouse cursor to be anywhere specific (yes, there is a difference)08:45
greenmang0Dr_Willis: I am not concerned about security at present.. the machine won't be online either08:46
Gneagreenmang0: of course it does08:46
greenmang0Gnea: i want to get rid of prompt08:46
_Techie_Gnea, either would work, just ive been manually shifting the pointer ontop of the term, so that s naturally what i asked08:46
Dr_Willisdosent matter if You are concerned with security or not. :) its what the designers of the os/programs were concerned with.08:46

=== lab is now known as yohan14
raz_Actionparnsnip: is is my home pc, i just wanted to know which option is better08:48
Gnea_Techie_: understandable, and I've actually ran that scenario before but didn't care bout the mouse because it's always there, so perhaps there's an .Xclients setting for xterm  to gain the focus...08:48
greenmang0_Techie_: but that will make changes system wide... i just want to use this feature in bash script...08:48
Gneaeventually I just wrote my own xsession :)08:48
ActionParsnipraz_: if you intend to encode audio and video then 64bit will help. If you have a lexmark printer then 32bit will allow you to use it due to half ass support08:49
_Techie_greenmang0, then you could have the script run as an isolated user08:49

dagon666nast: whats the differences between symbolic and hardlink ? I dont think I ever made a "hard" link09:00
Dr_Willishard link is identical to the file name originally,09:00
Dr_WillisYou cant tell any differance btween the original and the 'link'09:01
dagon666Dr_Willis: is it "copy" equivalent ?09:01
Dr_Willisdagon666:  no.09:02
jackie89Hi again. :]09:02
Dr_Willisdagon666:  it IS the same file...  its not a copy09:02
Dr_Willisexact same data on the disk.. same sector/location/whatever.. just has 2 filenames in differnet parts of the file tree.09:02
tedgegreenmang0: echo "<password>" | sudo -S <command>09:02
dagon666whats the purpose ? arent symbolic links enough ?09:03
jackie89Darn, he did leave. :[  Okay, i'm having issues with rebooting, which either means that i'm missing something or something just isn't right within my computer... Probably the former of my assumptions.  I restarted and kept holding shift even before anything loaded and kept that key pressed for fifteen minutes... Nothing happened.09:03
`3ShadesDr_Willis, note made09:03
Dr_Willisdagon666:  symbolic links are not the same.. they are 'shortcuts' to a file..09:03
Dr_Willisdagon666:  hard links are the same file.. theres no way to tell its a shortcut.. because its not.09:03
`3Shadesisn't a hard link the same as mounting something basically09:03
Dr_Willis`3Shades:  No...09:04
Dr_Willisa 'hardlink' is a differnt name for the same file. its a filesystem feature.09:04
`3ShadesGOtcha09:04
* Dr_Willis is rembering his old old old using linux/linux kernel book.09:04
dagon666Dr_Willis: I understant that if I remove a hardlink it will remove a file or only a hardlink to it ?09:04
nickhtpMen, don't be using those symbolic link shiznits, IMHO. Go try actively mounting with vmware or nfs.09:04
Dr_Willisdagon666:  a file is only removed after ALL 'hardlinks' to it are removed.09:04
dagon666Dr_Willis: ok, I understand now09:05
nasti'm a bit fuzzy on hardlinks, so there's still only one inode for said file? if so where are the permissions data for the second link stored?09:05
`3Shadesdon't mention books to me right now .. the US postal service decided to loose about 250$ worth of my books in the mail. the lady even said, they are just books probably don't need to insure them..09:05
Dr_WillisI recall thios from some Lnux book i had ages ago that hammered this home. :) the author thought it was critical to know.09:05
jackie89If anybody could help me with my problem, i'd be more than appreciative... If not, i understand.  Is there anybody available who would be able to help me?09:06
Dr_Willishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link09:06
greenmang0tedge: thanks!!!09:06
`3ShadesThe box made it but the books were gone ... and the box looks like they freak'n fork lift went right through it, so I figure the guy messed up the books and threw them away just to cover his ass.09:07
greenmang0tedge: actually after -S i was trying "su -" this command and it was giving me "stdin: is not a tty" error09:07
jackie89Or is there maybe a channel for newbies who really don't know what they're doing?09:07
greenmang0tedge: but i tried some other command and it worked09:07
CountDuckulahard/soft links here too --> http://linuxgazette.net/105/pitcher.html09:07

`3Shadesjackie89, I'm sure there are a few in here that know what they are doing, just ask your question and someone should get to you if your nice :)09:08

jackie89I want to set up my wireless connection but my computer doesn't seem to recognize itself, so I was recommended to reboot and select recovery mode, but when i did that i held 'shift' for fifteen minutes and the option to select recovery mode never showed up.09:10
greenmang0tedge: yeah :)09:11
jackie89Does anybody know what to do in that situation?09:11
nastdid you really hold shift for 15 minutes?09:11
nastjust curious, seems a long time. do you have a livecd handy?09:11
nickhtpoh that09:11
arvut15 mins sounds abit extreme. what exactly is wrong with your wifi?09:11
nickhtpwho's running that09:12
psycho_oreosjackie89, what do you mean the computer doesn't recognise itself, do you mean its not just the wifi that isn't working there are other issues?09:12
jackie89What's a livecd, nast?  And yes, i did. @.@  I got really handy in turning pages with my chin though, since i pressed both 'shifts'09:12
jackie89psycho_oreos - i think there are other issues.  The filename doesn't match up with something else... This is what i was told, anyway.09:12
nastjackie89: can you tell us what grep localhost /etc/hosts says, and what cat /etc/hostname says :)09:13
arvutwhy would you press shift in the first place?09:13
lucentcould not find the any key09:13
myschakreporting bug: when I try to use midnight commander mc it won't work because of "TERM environment variable needs set." Any tips? /cheers09:13

* `3Shades thinks jackie89 was talking to someone that knew something about windows.. 09:13
nibbler_hi. i just installed a new 10.10 on my netbook. first it offered me two options for proprietary drivers for the wireless. i chose one, and this does not work. now i dont get the otherone offered anymore (broadcom STA vs broadcom b43(?)) - any hints?09:14
psycho_oreosjackie89, hmm for starters, dmesg output into pastebin (do not paste here) would be very handy09:14
jackie89nast:  I'm so sorry, i can't understand your question... What's a grep?  And when i typed in cat /etc/hostname it said "Jaclyn"09:14

nastjackie89: and when you type 'grep -i jaclyn /etc/hosts'?09:15
nickhtpjackie89: quirky, eh09:15
psycho_oreosjackie89, yes `dmesg' is a program that you type in console. You copy and paste the entire output into pastebin and send me the pastebinned link09:15

arvutaltho, it is one way to learn =)09:16
nastarvut: presuming they can copy and paste, or transcribe without screwing up, seems a good idea09:16
nastarvut: the alternative is nasty09:16
jackie89psycho_oreos:  I'm not sure i have that program.  @.@09:16
arvutnast: seems to work =)09:16
psycho_oreosplus the command line tools are more prompt and direct rather than clicking this, clicking that, etc etc.. takes forever to get around sometimes09:17
nastarvut: if your buffer extends far enough backwards, ActionParsnip was helping jackie89 fix its hostname setup09:17
* `3Shades gets helped a lot and prefers command line help over gui help and I'm a gui person.. 09:17
psycho_oreosjackie89, sure you do, at the command prompt (where you type grep -i jaclyn.ph.cox.net /etc/hosts as per before) you type in dmesg09:17
nibbler_lucent, what is even more disturbing, the additional drivers say that the broadcom-sta driver is used, but aptitude says:  p   broadcom-sta-common - maybe ill try manually install this09:18
jackie89psycho_oreos - Before or after i type in the grep-etc?09:18

nibbler_lucent, generaly i guess i can find both drivers in the apt repro, so i'll try there.09:19
psycho_oreosjackie89, it doesn't matter when, you can do it now (which is after grep -i) as long as you get a prompt (where you get a solid white block cursor or a blinking one)09:19

nasti believe the plan was to get sudo working via editing /etc/hosts, then worry about wifi09:20
jackie89i did '/dmesg' at the beginning09:20
psycho_oreosjackie89, no no.. that's not from dmesg.. but before you do that again.. make sure you use pastebin.. do not.. I must repeat.. do not paste it in here or you'll get silenced09:20
nasthence the rebooting the host, and holding down shift to get into some kind of ubuntu recovery mode09:20

psycho_oreoshobomo, afaik its handled by ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_config but its a nasty hack imo.. normally it should start in logged in user's home directory.. there might be something wrong inside /etc/passwd file09:37
lucentCountDuckula: the syslinux is a mess on 10.x Ubuntu release ISOs09:37

psycho_oreoslolcat93, you can use `sudo fdisk -l'09:47
Dr_Willishobomo:  gnome-terminal has a working-directory option. aparenetly xterm dosent  - but this  can work -->    xterm -hold -e "cd $HOME/documents && /bin/bash" &09:47

lucentbytesaber: Ubuntu uses 'upstart' others use sysvinit09:47
lucentit's going to be different09:48
bytesaberlucent, well that's odd.  there's gotta be a distro "norm" location for saving a iptables-save to wherever it wants it for when you reboot09:48
nastbytesaber: debian used to have a iptables-save, but it was discouraged, and people should use shorewall or other such things09:48
lucentif there is I don't know about it and you're going to have just as much luck searching Google as I will :)09:48
psycho_oreoslolcat93, that's weird, normally it should prompt for your login's passwd and then from root access print out the contents of `fdisk -l'.. hmm another issue might be /dev not mounted or missing.. check mount09:48

Dr_Willis!firewall | somaye09:55
ubottusomaye: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.09:55
bytesaberDr_Willis, it just seems like such a thing that should be standardized by now.  Debian never figured it out, figure ubuntu didn't suffer the same09:55

FDFlockIt certainly *was* nice, I agree :)09:57
psycho_oreosjackie189, yeah way too long.. hmm try rebooting and only hold down for maybe 5 seconds.. but as soon as you see when to hit shift button09:57
psycho_oreosjackie189, lemme check how to access recovery mode or at least grub2's boot menu.. there has to be a way09:57
nibbler_FDFlock, and its still in the repositories09:58
bytesaberto make little scripts to load your firewall at boot time on your own as the ubuntu forum suggets, just seems so late 90's.   Linux is far more mature than this.09:58

lucentI'm partial to the monkey style09:59

jackie189Nice!  i need a bigger computer, but i love this one... It's periwinkle. :]10:00
lucentthe F2/F12 prompt is not software, it's the Dell BIOS, so that's too early, try again and wait an extra second or two10:01
psycho_oreosjackie189, hmm I think you've pressed shift a bit too early.. remember there's two screens before you'll actually load linux.. first is the BIOS screen which I'm sure would be something like hitting a key to enter into BIOS or setup and the other is to access boot menu.. but shortly after that you should see another prompt that may say press `this' to access menu10:01
jackie189lucent:  I've waited on 'shift' for over fifteen minutes. :/10:01

psycho_oreosjackie189, though you've held down too early and too long :)10:01
jackie189hmm... okay.10:01
ABJayojemand,  English only10:01
jackie189So after the bios screen, then i hit 'shift' psycho_oreos?10:02
Jordan_Ujackie189: You should probably just boot from a liveCD at this point (if you have one).10:02
lucentjackie189: it's okay, computer is not exactly telling you when to press these keys, so it's kind of a guess work10:02
psycho_oreosjackie189, remember, F2 and F12 goes back to what lucent and I said, its not Grub2 loading.. that's Dell's BIOS10:02
lucentI reboot and bang on the keyboard like a monkey at random intervals until I find the one that works10:02
lucentif it doesn't work, reboot and try again10:02
jackie189Jordan_U:  What's a liveCD?10:02
lucentthat's Monkey Style ;)10:02
jackie189psycho_oreos:  Okay. I'll do that. :D10:02
jackie189lucent:  LOL!  I'll try that too!10:02
psycho_oreosjackie189, liveCD is a disk you boot up with to be able to for example fix your linux setup, or windows or to install for example ubuntu10:03
jackie189psycho_oreos:  I don't even have a CD drive on this thing... Too small. :[10:03
jackie189Okay, i'll reboot10:03
Jordan_Ujackie189: How did you install Ubuntu?10:03
lucentprobably with mind bullets.10:03
psycho_oreosjackie189, though I'm willing to think netbooks don't have optical drives to begin with, they have USB ports however so you'll need something like unetbootin on flash usb drive and to set dell mini to boot from there10:03

lucentthough I don't know I'd probably throw it out the window at that point, just me though. Don't let that get you down ;)10:07
psycho_oreosjackie89, not quite but usually when ubuntu loads up you should see ubuntu logo with the words ubuntu and a small little bar going left and right before it starts filling up the bar10:08
lucentjackie89: from the link " 1. Boot the mini 9 while pressing ESC every second /  2. When you see the "MBR 2FA:" prompt or similar, the boot process is stopped. /  3. Press ENTER and ESC very fast one after the other."10:08
psycho_oreoslucent, heh I'm reading through the grub2 documentation, I don't really have much clue beyond that10:08

jackie189One second and i'll scroll up, psycho_oreos.10:29
sidhu4788hello , i am using kubuntu 10.4 . I am facing a problem i have to set desktop resolution every time i login.10:30
nibbler_martijn_, what exactly do you want to do? you can use strace to trace it in the first place10:30
psycho_oreosjackie189, err no need, just do "cat /etc/sudoers| grep admin"10:30
jackie189"#Members of the admin group may gain root privileges %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL", psycho_oreos.10:30
nibbler_sidhu4788, no idea how you would set a default, but at least if u figure out the command to do that you could add this to your startup session configuration10:31
psycho_oreosjackie189, that's weird.. it is definitely allowing you to access sudo mode.. I can't see why it wasn't working before10:31
psycho_oreosjackie189, hmm you were able to login to your own account right?10:31
vikithakarPlease help - Problem: Recently installed Ubuntu 10.10, When I click on Places > Home Folder , it opens Appearence preferences10:32
martijn_nibbler_, I'm trying to use gdb to get a stacktrace from rhythmbox (as described on the wiki). The weird thing is, rhythmbox doesn't crash like it does without the debugger, but does get frozen.10:33
sidhu4788nibbler_: can you give me a quick hint i have tried  xrandr in rc.local10:33
martijn_the wiki tells me to hit ctrl-C in gdm, and get a stacktrace10:33
martijn_but ctrl-c renders gdm unresponsive10:33
jackie189psycho_oreos:  I can't type in anything because I typed in the 'visu' stuff to see if there was any admin info.10:33
nibbler_sidhu4788, rc.local might not be appropiate, go to the startup-session programs in your gnome-session (preferences or administration menu, dont know)10:33
stavrosg_Jigal: any luck yet?10:34
psycho_oreosjackie189, ok so you're back into that visudo thing.. hit Esc once and type in this ":q!"10:34
nibbler_martijn_, sorry, no idea.10:34

jackie189psycho_oreos:  Yes, but it didn't ask for my password.10:35
Jigalstavrosg_, its causing me trouble with phpunit10:35
martijn_I can ask gdb for a stacktrace while rhythmbox is frozen. Would that be any good? (I'm still missing some debug symbols there, but I suppose I can install those too)10:35
psycho_oreosjackie189, that was whenever you bootup?10:35

Jigalstavrosg_, yes but then i installed it again using apt-get10:37
psycho_oreosjackie189, and it never prompted password? if so I think its definitely a good idea to set a passwd for your user account now whilst you have root access10:37
stavrosg_hmm10:38

psycho_oreosKadmium, so it must be ##c because #c is for official C programming support channel (which doesn't exist on freenode only the about channel)10:52

lucentady01: that's a bit of an advanced question for this channel, to be brief11:12
psycho_oreosjackie189, from now on you should be able to use wireless, but again for the meantime you'll need to disable wired because ubuntu will get confused over which connection to use first11:12

oxicarusguys! say i have my dynamic (isp's) ip hooked at a dyndns hostname.. i have ubuntu.. which packages would i need to apt-get to be able to eg. logon to hotmail and send mail to localuseronmysystem@mylittlemachine.mine.nu and have it working? plus which ports will i need to open (if any?) in the firewall of my ubuntu machine?11:30
v_vhi. i have an experience on ubuntu. it's really great except one little problem. that's is, it's a little slower than some distro like debian. ubuntu can drive all the hardware work fine, so, the kernel is not the best for an specified machine, anyway to make it faster without making an kernel by myself ?11:30
Dr_Willisv_v:  how are you benchmarking that  problem?11:31
lucentrek: good.  One more command can tell about this device, 'sudo sfdisk -l'11:31

tonymahoonhey guys i have a media server running 9.10, the only way i can restart it is if i have a monitor connected to it, can i make it run at another run level/wahtever the ubuntu equivalent is?11:33
v_vDr_Willis, oh,maybe you don't think so.11:33
tonymahoonie it doesn't boot without a monitor plugged in, how can i change it to boot without a monitor11:33
lucenttonymahoon: it may be the keyboard, as a fact, and not the monitor11:34
tonymahoonlucent: nah it's definitely the monitor11:34
cryptodiralucent: toshiba with amd components, backlit keyboard works on boot-up until the splash screen.... then dies. the question is, what aspect of ubuntu is causing this?11:34
lucenttonymahoon: have you actually confirmed it is the monitor? okay11:34
Dr_Willisv_v:  if you are going to be doing a lot of work trying to tweak things. You dhould have some decent test to prove its gotten better/worse/not the same.11:34
Dr_Willistonymahoon:  it should still boot.. You could disable teh GDM service i guess..11:35

oxicaruserUSUL: if port 25 is blocked (seems that way), is there any alternative solution (ie. 2nd port mta's n such try) or is local mail delivery all i will be able to do? :/11:36
tonymahoonlucent: well i remote shell into the server, do a reboot, then i can't access it via ssh, because it doesn't boot. plug in the monitor, hit reset, and it boots and i can ssh in11:37
Dr_Willispartitionproblem:  so One of those linux partitions is supposed to be a NTFS?11:37
lucenttonymahoon: sounds dodgy.11:37
tonymahoonDr_Willis: i'm talking to you now via irssi on the server ssh'd in11:37
Dr_WillisMy headless servers never had that issue.. :)  ssh should start even if X is not starting. So all i can suggest is try disabling GDM service. and perhaps use th 'text' mode option. so X and Plymouth never get started up11:38
tonymahoonlucent: i'm pretty sure it happened because i upgraded from server and put the gnome desktop on it. now it tries to boot to that run level, but it fails because there's no monitor11:38

v_vDr_Willis, yes, you are right. maybe what you want is some data .. im not professional. im sorry i don't know how to prove it clearly. as a user, it's just an experience, most of the time, debian doesn't let me wait as long as ubuntu does. thank you. any suggestion to make it better ?11:38

Dr_WillisHmm.. seems every update to the kernel or Somthing.. breaks grub on my laptop. BUT i can boot this flash drive i got setup. it somehow got the  grub menu that lets me then boot the hard drive.. that works to get me back to my system12:56
Dr_Willisbut im not sure whats breaking grub.12:56

dhiry2kDr_Willis, i beleive its grub package problem12:57
Dr_Willisgrub2. i boot the flash drive which SOMEHOW got grub on it that can boot the hard drive. as if i tas booting from teh HD.12:57
penguin42Dr_Willis: Hang on, are you saying it keeps reinstalling grub to the flash drive instead of the hard drive?12:57
Dr_WillisIm still not sure how that flash drive is doing that I tell bios to boot the flash.. it shows the same grub  menu as the HD. :)12:57
Dr_Willispenguin42:  i can remove the flash drive after the system boots. and rerun update-grub and that has fixed it in the past.12:58
Dr_Willisso figure that out. :)12:58

Dr_Willisi wonder if its some issue because i got grub on one HD.. but the actual linux install is on a different HD.13:00

g00seI installed amd64 meerkat yesterday, attempting dual boot. I got to a point where the installer said something to the effect that it had detected Vista (it's Win 7 but hey) and that it'd probably be OK to put grub2 into the MBR, which was fine by me, since i'd created a 1GB partition for this. Only thing is when i boot the box, there's no boot menu and it goes straight to Windows. Why? The partition table: http://paste.ubuntu.c13:19
chu_ubiquitous1980: I don't know if Ubuntu likes it, but you can do some googling for inittab and change the run-level if I remember.13:19

ZykoticK9chu_, just FYI - but runlevels in Ubuntu mean almost nothing -- see !runlevels factoid for more info ;)13:21
ubiquitous1980how is it, that update-rc.d does not prevent the starting of Xorg, how have they managed to get around this usual behaviour?13:21
izinucsg00se: do you have more than one drive? if so then most likely grub got installed on the wrong one by accident.. if that's the case just install grub to the other or change the boot order of the drives in the bios13:21
g00seizinucs: No13:21

etheretic1Is there a program which compares the contents of several harddisks? Preferably gui.13:50
MysteriousManIs there any documentation for 'apt-pkg' ?13:50
izinucsmrk_: perhaps because you're trying to use FF 2.0.. some of the libraries might be depreciated.. try a more recent version.13:51
ubuntulxdeaaI'd like to know where I can find a compilation with all the linux static builds (tar.gz) that usually work in ubuntu, for instance like filezilla.tgz13:51
izinucsubuntulxdeaa: packages.ubuntu.com maybe13:51
panoshi there I need help with some problem i ve got with the installation13:51

ubottupanos: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)13:52
ubuntulxdeaaizinucs: aren't those .deb files?13:52
izinucsMysteriousMan: try man apt-pkg13:52
mrk_izzinucs:  it happened after upgrading to ubuntu 10.4, i can't think it is depreciated as is that FF 2.013:52
izinucsubuntulxdeaa: I thought source was there too.13:52
MysteriousManizinucs: No manual entry for apt-pkg13:53
MysteriousManIt is a massive C++ library13:53
izinucsmrk_: then I have no idea13:53
MysteriousManAnd it seems to be undocumented13:53
ubuntulxdeaaizinucs: are you considering the difference between a .tgz file that's a source file (which needs to be compilled) and a static build BINARY .tgz that just works out-of-the-box so to speak?13:53
izinucsMysteriousMan: if it's installed it should have a man page or info page.. if it's not installed then it won't13:54
domcodmrk_: #13 directs you to 247040. there #12 and #25 state possible workarounds.13:54

ubuntulxdeaaizinucs: thanks anyway, I'll look13:55
izinucszeroGravity: if it doesn't show it then maybe you don't have one other than the local host address.. does that machine connect to the internet?13:55
mrk_domcod: i'm very ignorant, what are the numbers you refer to?13:55
MysteriousManapt-get has documentation13:55
MysteriousManbut not apt-pkg13:55
g00seizinucs: The boot partition is now ext3. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2, dual boot could be as easy as sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdebian-installer4;sudo os-prober;sudo update-grub Surely it can't be that easy ;) ?13:55

panosFor some reason ubuntu cannot recognise my otherwise fine 40Gb ATA 100 WD hdd connected as Primary Master but can see my older 30GB IBM as primary slave. I want to install on WD. I also got SATA RAID where MS windows is installed. This is recognised13:55

burghello. everytime i try to install ubuntu, it freezes just after i can see the wallpaper (before appearing language & welcome window), no matter if i try to install from cd or usb, 32bit or 64bit. i have asus x50gl notebook, nvidia geforce 8200, 3gbram ddr2, core2duo t5800 2ghz13:58
izinucszeroGravity: if you in a vbox guest then point your mouse to the bottom right of the window at the network icon.. a little info window should flash and let you know what the ip is.. if the vbox guest session is set for NAT it will be on a different subnet then the rest of your lan.. set it to bridged for the same subnet.13:58

ubottupenthief: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.  For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub214:00
burgDr_Willis, how do i use that?14:00
izinucsDr_Willis: do you put that on the kernel line at boot?14:01
Dr_Willisburg:   at the boot menu, hit a keuy. then hit F6 i think for extra options.14:01
burgDr_Willis, after it boots, it shows a loading page (with some dots), then that purple wallpaper and that`s all14:01
onaoghbrobinson, open up a console, "tail -f dmesg" and then plug in the drive, see what shows up in dmesg14:01
Dr_Willisizinucs:  installer has a menu to do it. Or edit the grub/boot menu line and add it to the end 'nomodeset'14:01
burgDr_Willis, ubuntu doesn`t ask me anything14:01
Dr_Willisburg:  at the booting screens. first one has a man/image at the bottom.. hit space or some other key.. that takes you to the options14:02

izinucsrileyp: yes.. but use a PPA to install.14:03
X-Sleepy-Xburg: try the alternate and you might get the menus Dr_Willis are talking about14:03
Dr_Willisburg:  for desktops cd's i Must use nomodeset on my 8800 and 360m nvidia card systems. alternative installer cd was text based. so it installed. but i had to use nomodeset to get it to boot to X the first time.  OR i can install the nvidia-current package from teh console when it boots the first time.14:04
rileypso theyre good for mythtv vidpau and xbmc etc14:04
Dr_WillisX-Sleepy-X:  they are on the desktop  and alt cd's i recall.14:04
Dr_WillisWhats Weird. is that lubuntu - did NOT need the nomodeset option.. not sure why.14:04
X-Sleepy-XDr_Willis: Ok.14:04
penthiefOK thanks. I'm not sure why we need to generate a grub config. It seems like an unnecessary level of indirection (read: complication).14:04
izinucsrileyp: installing nvidia driver use to be straight forward prior to 9.04.. it's since changed due to the neuvoue driver....14:04
Dr_Williscould be that Lubntu is not using Plymouth?14:04

izinucsruby_on_tails1: restart FF after that14:43

tensorpuddinganoman273: there's tons of articles on the Internet about distros, but this channel is not really a good place to discuss that14:44
tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: permissions?14:44

centos-user-aztensorpudding: yeah permissions14:44
tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: which ones?14:44
DarkSkullto me?14:45
ForgeAusizinucs at least it doesn't feel like linux with KDE slapped on top... feels far more... integrated14:45
centos-user-aztensorpudding: i can't edit a file without sudo14:45
tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: chmod is used for editing them in general, but given the discussion we just had, i'm going to guess you want to change the permissions of the /var/www folder14:45
DarkSkullyou know?14:45
ruby_on_tails1izinucs: still shows additional plugins required14:45
izinucsForgeAus: true..14:45

tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: which might not be a good plan for security reasons14:45

centos-user-aztensorpudding: clear but here are some problems i can't create any folder inside any folder only with sudo i can14:46
ForgeAusI'd doubt if Debian really does the integration thing either...14:46

tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: in Linux by default folders under /usr, /var etc. are not writable by regular users, for security reasons.14:47

tensorpuddingmamece2: exaile's in the software center14:49

centos-user-aztensorpudding: for fast learning any linux dist what should i do?14:49
Sean93yes14:49
mamece2tensorpudding that is not the last version, thats 0.3.2 , in the web page theres a 0.3.314:50
fewbooWhen I right click on a folder I do not have the encryption option14:50
izinucsSean93: root "/" 8-12 gigs .... swap 1gig or 2x ram (if you want hibernate/sleep) .. the rest for /home14:50
tensorpuddingmamece2: it's likely that 0.3.3 isn't packaged for Ubuntu yet.14:50
mamece2tensorpudding i would like to dl the last version, do u know how can i do that?14:51
tensorpuddingmamece2: you can install it by hand from their site, but that's rarely a fun time14:51
Sean93izinucs: i made them that size, but i made them all primary partitions, is that ok?14:51
nikolacentos-user-az, there is no fast learning..14:51

tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: if you want to learn in general about permissions and that kind of stuff, there's tons of books out there, and guides on the internet14:51
centos-user-aznikola: i know but than ever i meant so14:51
izinucsSean93: sure.. if you're not going to use all the space on the drive then you can only have 3 primary partitions and the 4th *must* be extended.. then you'll be able to add more if needed.14:52
nepalinuxI am so much bored with my ubuntu freezing at boot time.. :( ..was expecting some help from guys here :(...the boot just stucks at "xxxxx pages non-shared"...I can't figure out where the problem is...14:52
kacohello14:52
Sean93izinucs: i'm confused14:52
Sean93i thought i only need 3 partitions14:53
izinucsSean93: that's all I mentioned.. but if you have windows then you need 4 total.. 1 for windows and 3 for ubuntu14:53
Sean93and the ubuntu ones should all be primary?14:53
izinucsSean93: if you use the entire drive then you're good to go.. all can be primary partitions..14:53
tensorpuddingcentos-user-az: i'm trying to think of a good one in general, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SystemAdministration might be good14:53

burgwhen i try to create partitions for ubuntu, i create the first one from the free space, and after that the remaining free space is marked as unusable and i can`t create any more partitons. how to fix that?14:59
centos-user-aznepallinux: i have created it in the webserver's htdocs directory so it's right but it can't read it14:59
nepalinuxI am not an expert in this regard but httpd.conf defines the root folder, isn't it? is it having the correct config?15:00
Techathyburg:  just a thought but would you be making a 4th primary partition?15:00
mamece2how can i reinstall internet controllers? this is very much slow and when i run a live cd internets normal15:00
onaoghburg, how many total paritions are there on the hard drive, what is the size of partition you made, and how much is left on free space15:00
centos-user-aznepallinux: yeah i've also changed that file to use php but okkk may be i've typed wrong mime-type for using php which mime type should be used do you know?15:01
onaoghmamece2, how u are certain that it is the network stacks that is slowing your internet ?15:01
burgTechathy, onaogh : i have on this hdd c:, d: and e: for windows (having about 215 gb from my 250gb hdd), and 30+ free gb15:01
lelamalhi all, I want to unsubscribe from bug #1, but I can't. everytime I get an error: "The following errors were encountered: * Server error, please contact an administrator. OOPS ID:OOPS-1751K1229". who should I contact?15:02
onaoghburg, you can't have more than 4 primary partitions, so if the first 3 is primary, u can create 1  more primary, and then a logical container and more partitions inside it15:02
nepalinuxcentos-user-az: I don't think its due to MIME mismatch... if it can't access index.php, it means there's no index.php file in the root folder15:03
nepalinuxwhat's your absolute path?15:04
burgonaogh, how can i check if those are primary? those are windows partitions. i had those before, with ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10. but back then the ubuntu installer created the linux partitions automatically15:04
Russelciao15:04
Russelubu ci sei?15:04
xiamxthere's a software that let you set many kinds of notification/alert for new mail, new rss, website update... can anyone remind me its name?15:05
TechathyAssuming the first 3 are primary partitions you have to make the 4th primary partition a logical partition container & then make the linux partitions (5 up) in that15:05
onaoghburg, ubuntu setup can create required partitions automatecally on the free space, if you go with that option u should have no problem15:05
centos-user-azthx everyone who helped me15:05
nepalinuxcentos-user-az: you made it work?15:05
burgonaogh: i can`t find that option in ubuntu 10.1015:05
mamece2grghaestjstrjiskotidtiytijrujsrujstrustruhfxguj15:06
centos-user-aznepallinux: I'll try to solve it, now eating time :)15:06
onaoghburg, i think it is there when u start "Install" from live session15:06
TechathyHow you'd do that will depend on the way you install, as install server manually using parted I can't help with the specifics15:06
onaoghmamece2, ?15:06
Techathyas I install sory15:07
burgonaogh: if i start install from live session, i can see that option?15:07
onaoghyes, as you go through the setup process, it will question you on where would u like to install ubuntu15:07
onaoghjust make sure you have some free space for it (un partitioned space)15:08
mamece2see?? something is happening15:08
onaoghmamece2, ?15:08
burgi did that before, my options were: along other os, erase hdd or manually add partitions15:08
jiohdiI am having a problem running gadmin-proFTPd ... first it told me that there were no cert.pem or key.pem files... I generated those using openssl but now it tell me that it wants a passphrase and passphrase does not match and wrong passphrase... help15:08
burgonaogh: and i have more than 30gb of free space15:08
onaoghburg, and the third option. there are 3 options, erase whole hdd, install along side with another OS, and choose manually (advanced)15:09
onaoghburg, u choose along with other OS15:09
jiohdiburg, if you unformate that 30gb, the system will find it and ask if you want to put it there15:10
onaoghburg, i can also use choose partitions manually if u select third option15:10

tensorpuddingthe 2x RAM rule is not very useful anymore15:25
ActionParsnipSean93: 10Gb /, 1xRAM amount for swap and 10Gb for /home, you can save extra data in your windows partition if you like15:25

enriqueafit is not suposed that the swap part it is used if the ram is full??15:27
yapsolThen shrink the partition with GParted live.15:27
ActionParsnipSean93: if you install windows first but leave space unpartitioned (default is 100% for windows), you can avoid the whole resize debarkle15:27
napsterActionParsnip: But the question remains, how can I resolve the dependency while install for a package on my home folder (the package is not in the archive, but the deps are in the repos)15:27
yapsolMake it about 10GB bigger than XP. This will leave you some room to add other software.15:27

onaoghburg, again send me a snapshot in mediafire15:27
ActionParsnipyapsol: why bother resizing when you can simply make the windows partition smaller than the available space, reduces data corruption risk15:27
yapsolAnd if it is not enough, you can resize with GParted again, as long as you don't use LVM and/or encryption on Ubuntu.15:28

Invoking /etc/rc.local in this order: 1) losetup, in order to create a loopback device from a file 2) cryptsetup, in order to create a mapped encrypted device 3) mount, in order to mount such device into /tmp.

ubuntulxdeaaActionParsnip: of course, there's the "solution" of removing all references to /tmp or /dev/loop0 from "fstab" and invoke a complete mount command from rc.local, but that doesn't solve my doubts about the system creating /tmp at / before rc.local is invoked15:54

what_thef_everthanks yapsol, I will check this out now16:03
yapsolyes, debian kFreeBSD I think.16:03
ubuntulxdeaafewboo: does such Debian distro have a different rc.d structure (i.e. more similar to Arch's init scripts)?16:03
=== Quincy is now known as testing
what_thef_everubuntulxdeaa, I never intended on updating it. I was compiling an application call Audacious and it said I needed the Glib library, so I downloaded the source of Glib 2.26 and ./configure, make, make install, and then my system was stuffed.16:04
=== testing is now known as Quincy
fewbooThere is also nexenta.  The new release just came out and it has opensolaris kernel with debian programs16:04
ubuntulxdeaawhat_thef_ever: I see. The old problem of breaking one's own system due to not abiding exclusively to apt-get install usage16:04
icarus-cwhat_thef_ever, ubuntu ships adacious too16:04
what_thef_everI was not aware of this16:05
what_thef_everIm new16:05
icarus-cwhat_thef_ever, seriously, avoid ./configure && make && make install16:05
what_thef_everReally?16:05
icarus-cit breaks stuff16:05
what_thef_evericarus why is that?16:05
what_thef_everoh I see.16:05
ubuntulxdeaawhat_thef_ever: you may avoid several headaches if you reinstall your system and abide by "sudo apt-get install"16:05
what_thef_everSo my problem is common?16:05
magedragon25anyone here familiar with vmware server?16:05
shubbarms wireless optical 700 should work with ubuntu?16:06
ubuntulxdeaawhat_thef_ever: yeah, most people have broken their system either by that or dpkg -i16:06
icarus-cwhat_thef_ever, it would proudly overwrite system components. and not notifying package manager, you may likely have no way to trace it/remove it16:06
what_thef_everthe system does not require a re-install. I don't think.16:06
aureliociao a tutti16:06
icarus-cubuntulxdeaa, dpkg -i is still fine16:06
ubuntulxdeaawhat_thef_ever: the moment you don't "limit" yourself to your distro's repositories, you have to accept the risk of breaking your system, which is fine, but one has to accept it as inevitable16:06

icarus-cwhat_thef_ever, apititude search libglib216:11
ubuntulxdeaawhat_thef_ever: I'd follow the "sudo apt-get install glib" route, but I cannot guarantee this would work. Also, consider invoking "sudo apt-get remove glib" (or libglib2 or whatever) before. There's also the option --fix-missing (to apt-get) but again I have barely tried all this16:11

icarus-cwhat_thef_ever, why is linux involved :P16:14
ubuntulxdeaawhat_thef_ever: ubuntu is not a good distro in order to compile things, from my viewpoint (and this point is to some extent supported by the fact that build-essential and the C compilers don't come with the standard installation). My advice, if you want to try things other than the repositories would be to download static binaries: these are .tgz as well, but they don't need compilation, they work out of the box once unta16:14

rreckmarco32: what kind of help?18:36
edbianb3rz3rk3r, I think you have the wireless interface configured in your /etc/network/interfaces file.  This usually tells nm-applet to ignore that interface.  it would explain why the "network is down" and why the card works but won't let you do anything.18:36
b3rz3rk3redbian, the only thing in that file is : auto lo iface lo inet loopback18:36

edbianFIReun, The point of 64bit is to allows the use of more than 32.Gb of ram.  Besides general stability (the 64 bit software is not as well tested) there is not advantage to 32 bit19:03
pollywogI suddenly lost sound yesterday in Lucid.  How do I begin diagnosing this problem?  I have not uninstalled anything19:04
GerwinPilif12p: So you can try Shotwell if you want to, but can keep using F-Spot if you don't like it.19:04
qwertyjustinonaogh: is gufw the official ubuntu firewall?19:04
magicianlordedbian: it's also faster19:04
FIReunedbian: I read that the PAE stuff in a 32bit system to allow for ~4G and greater ram adds a slight overhead penalty19:04
edbianFIReun, yes19:04
Pilif12pcan i remove one of them?19:04
edbianmagicianlord, 64bit is slightly faster19:04
FIReunedbian: and so for a low power system to begin with, 64bit seems the most efficient choice19:04
_doswell_is there a date that "ubuntu !).!) will come out as a update on "ubuntu 10.04?19:04
edbianPilif12p, You can remove any package you like! :)19:04
onaoghqwertyjustin, gufw is the front end to ufw, yes, ufw is built in ubuntu, but by default it is disabled, check whether it is enabled or no19:05
magicianlordyes. if you have a 64-bit processor, install 64-bit ubuntu.19:05

edbianpollywog, dmesg is a good place to start looking for general problems of any kind.19:06
pollywogrunning from a console does not show errors19:06

theshadowMy friend is getting this exact bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430620 which wouldn't be an issue except that each time it happens the whole laptop locks up and has to be rebooted. It happens at least two or three times a week which is just a bit annoying. Does anyone have any workarounds for the time being?19:06
Gerwinpollywog: You could start by checking dmesg and the logs in /var/log/messages19:06
ChogyDank-rad: I think the kernel is set19:06
k-radmagicianlord, i've never understood the hype over such low powered processors19:06

zteamdoswell:launch the update-manager and go to setting and change it to regular distrubutions19:07
FIReunmagicianlord: granted, that was in may, but I havnt found any follow up to prove its a non issue now.19:07
zteamdoswell:and it should offer you to upgrade19:07
onaoghdeadroot, $JAVA_HOME undefined ?19:07
deadrootit is defined19:07
magicianlordFIReun: what issue is it exactly?19:07
theshadowedbian: exactly how old? this bug appears to have been ocuring since 2009... that would be quite a rollback.19:07
deadrootit used to work fine on previous runs19:08
onaoghdeadroot, #bash19:08
pollywogI am going to try rebooting with the older kernel and see if that fixes sound19:08
edbiantheshadow, That is old but you asked for a work around.19:08
deadrootthe only real difference that i am aware of is that i'm now building it in "sudo screen"19:08
k-radthose atom processors that you see everywhere, one wouldn't run gnome on it eh ?19:08
FIReunmagicianlord: whats the question?19:08
edbiank-rad, I run gnome on one.19:08
deadrootonaogh: okay. thanks :)19:08
edbiank-rad, I run Ubuntu netbook edition but I've run normal ubuntu on it with no problems.19:09
k-radedbian, their appeal is solely their low price ?19:09
aaron11onaogh, would installing the older version work?19:09
theshadowedbian: well I'm not entirely sure rolling back three releases is a useful work around. At that point they might as well go back to windows.19:09
k-radi guess netbooks can't be custom built, well can, but rarely done19:09
edbiank-rad, They are weaker, get less hot, and are cheaper.  They're not so slow that they can't run linux though.  Ubuntu could run on a pII or pI.  Puppy Linux could run on some really old sh*t19:09
FIReunk-rad: depends on the system19:09
vozmemI cannot load cpufreq_userspace in ubuntu 10.10, helpppppppppppppp19:10
FIReunpuppy linux stinks like it too19:10
edbiantheshadow, Yeah I understand.  Good luck finding something! (rolling back the kernel does not necessarily mean rolling back the entire release btw)19:10
vozmemI cannot load cpufreq_userspace module in ubuntu 10.10, helpppppppppppppp19:10
magicianlordwhat is your issue with the new kernel? I19:10
FIReunmagicianlord: just what is stated in the phoronix article19:10
vozmemI cannot load cpufreq_userspace module in ubuntu 10.1019:10
magicianlordIIm' running it on three systems Ubuntu and other distro, and it's good19:10
magicianlordi didnt read that19:11
onaoghdeadroot, can u send me the script ?19:11
vozmemI want to use that module with cpupowerd19:11
crimsunvozmem: that's because it doesn't exist for 10.1019:11
k-radi'm using docky, and the only reason i choose docky was because i read somehow it was tied to gnome-do.  i've not begun to learn gnome-do, and am not happy it disappears until i call for it, though i'll learn that shortcut soon enough.  is there a definitely ubuntu dock that clearly beats them all ?19:11
vozmemI try to install but it forms non-exist19:11

magicianlordyeah19:19
magicianlordif you are going for ubuntu, go with 10.1019:19
magicianlordthe newer software is worth it19:19
k-radbugaloo, you can also set that to 127.0.0.1 and use dnsmasq for cached dns lookups19:19
magicianlordalthough ubuntu is a secondary 'trial' distro for me19:20
bugalook-rad, ??19:20

FFForeverdeadroot, yeah.19:22
FIReunk-rad: I had issues with setting up dual monitors, 10.04 "just worked"19:22
k-radFFForever, the maverick user guide is really helpful for things like that19:22
k-radFIReun, ATI or Nvidia ?19:22
deadrootah. that would require editing the sources.list to enable the restricted stuff19:22
FIReunk-rad: ATI19:22
FIReunI wish apt had a "downgrade" option19:22
deadrootFFForever: i am not sure if you should follow my advice then19:22
FFForeveronaogh, I have provided by ubuntu, canonical partners, for purchase, google19:23

I did this because I didn't want to see ugly plymouth and for some other uninportant reasons which can be overlooked now.

augdawgChogyDan : it says that it failed to update the repository information. it also tells me t check my internet connection, but it is working fine.20:11
ddilingerdrjo: it could rm -rf / if the person who wrote the script told it to20:11
ChogyDanaugdawg: but none of those repos are vital20:11
avoZykoticK9, So I thought too, but I think that one line changing text to graphical must do something more.20:11
drjoddilinger: yeah i understand, but the usual behavior?20:11
avotwbd, Nope. Not that file20:11
ddilingerdrjo: typical behavior various by project, some projects generate makefiles throughout the directory structure20:12
augdawgi dont know what it is either. it did that yesterday also.20:12
ddilingerdrjo: typically a make distclean will cleanup anything created by a ./configure20:12

augdawgokay thanks ChogyDan20:13
drjoddilinger: i deleted the whole folder20:13
k-radmrk, say you have 2gb of ram.  then do something like 2500 for swap.  then do a / partition make it ext4 and and choose the 10000 value, the last partition you'd make it will have the rest of the space right there in front of your face, take up the rest of the hard drive space and put /home on it.  you can then choose any release of ubuntu you want, but only keep your valuables and config files in /home/mrk   any reinstalls you can reformat the root part20:13
k-radition which is /.  do not ever format /home   once you do that, you'll have all your config settings and valuables (that you'll only want to backup in the event of hard drive failure) right there in /home use ext4 for / and /home just on reinstall only format / and never /home20:13
avoZykoticK9, BINGO! That's the file!20:13
avoZykoticK9, It is set to "text"20:13
awnekIs there an ubuntu cloud channel?20:13
epaphusHello. Why is is that ubuntu reports RAM usage as significantly lower in System ->  Administration -> System Monitor... then it does with the free command..???  mayor difference !20:13
avoZykoticK9, What's the "normal" setting?20:13
ZykoticK9avo, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"20:14
mrk_k-rad: it sounds like you are suggesting a fresh installation20:14
ddilingermrk_: and the reason you do that is because in an afternoon you can replace the root partition with a re-install, and all your user data is still intact and un-touched, without even having to think about it20:14
k-radmrk_, now save what i just wrote to some time of document saver, and start backing up files20:14
ddilingermrk_: or if you maybee bought an SSD to replace the main drive, same thing you can replace the root partition without affecting user data20:14
avoZykoticK9, Yup. Just found it on the grub 2 ubuntu page. Thanks so much! I'll let you know how it goes!20:14
k-radmrk_, only after you've backed up your data. but yes.  never choose ubuntu to use the entire drive  that might only be for drunken kicks on a drive you'd never wan't to retain for the future20:15
mrk_k-rad: and ddilinger,  i don't need to save user data20:15
twbdepaphus, maybe one of the two includes disk cache and the other not20:15
ddilingermrk_: everyone wants to preserve user data, even if they think they dont20:15
happyfaceI'm trying to help someone remotely but the remote desktop isn't configuring UPnP on the other line. What can I do?20:15
ddilingermrk_: otherwise, throw an rm -rf /home/* into /etc/cron.daily20:15
k-radmrk_, you'll not only be preserving your user data but also your gnome config settings20:16
mrk_ddilinger, belive me, i can start afresh20:16
rocklobster_217upnp is to share media if im not mistaken20:16
k-radmrk_, backup your valuables anyway, if you have any20:16
mrk_k-rad: ok...but gnome is the problem20:16
ddilingermrk_: if you want a system thats hard to fix, be my guest20:16
mrk_k-rad: i think its the xulrunner20:16
twbdepaphus, look at the 2nd line of free: it says without cache (while the first lines includes cache as "used"), and returns the same amount as the System Monitor (use "free -m" to see in  megabytes)20:17

Ray2 Ubuntu Lucid..On booting the following errors...No suitable mode found..unknown command terminal..How do I correct this error20:17
twbdepaphus, you're welcome20:17
mrk_ddilinger; i wish i understood you better...i'm very ignorant20:17
k-radmrk_, your not ignorant perhaps you are young or a slow learner20:18
k-radmrk_, these things take time20:18
mrk_k-rad: i'm not young haha..but new to linux20:18
ddilingermrk_: say you mess up something and wreck something, if /home is a seperate partition you can replace the root partition in an hour or two and have it just like it was before you broke anything20:18
ddilingermrk_: if its not a seperate partition, you have to juggle data arround20:18
=== tricode is now known as `3Shades
k-radmrk_, fine.  your not young.  your also not ignorant.  :)20:19
ddilingermrk_: if your like me and have multi TB of data, juggling data arround to re-install an OS is not a choice :)20:19
mrk_ddilinger: i see what you mean, is that an option provided during an installation?20:19
ddilingermrk_: it used to be standard, things may have changed though20:19

mrk_ddilinger, and k-rad , i live and learn120:20
k-radmrk_, there are free ubuntu ebooks if you can find them, relatively new, only cost money if you want the paperback20:20
epaphustwbd, i thought the disk cache was something the actual hard disk had.. didnt take advantage of RAM.. in any case that isnt real ram usage right?20:20
ddilingermrk_: i typically skip the automatic partitioner and do it by hand, 2x ram as swap space, 10 or 20G for root, and the rest for /home20:20
rocklobster_217ddilinger: what other folders would you suggest separating from main installation, I usually have /usr/local on its own20:20

mrk_ddilinger, ; my pc is dreadfully old20:21
rocklobster_217k-rad: can you advise on a good ubuntu e-book20:21
k-radmrk_, do 2500 for swap, then 10000 for / make that ext 4, format it every reinstall, then the rest of the space on /home, ext4 also, and NEVER format.  thats the sin against the holy ghost20:21

`3ShadesCan anyone help me with ISPconfig 2?20:22
ddilingerrocklobster_217: some people do /usr/local, i dont personally install anything into /usr/local so i dont bother.  If you do plan to have custom installed software there it will solve juggling data issues should you have need to re-install the root partition.  Also if your applications in /usr/local can generate lots of data keeping /usr/local on a seperate partition will stop filling up that from breaking anything else20:22
k-radrocklobster_217, i could actually provide them if i had a server i could drop them off at20:22
twbdepaphus, both exist. The disk has some amount of cache that is indeed called the disk cache, which you get when you buy a harddisk.  The disk cache I was talking about is a different one (maybe the term "disk cache" is not the best choice of me), it's when Linux reads a file from disk, that it keeps it's content in memory (RAM). The next time the file is read it can be read faster (Linux can just fetch the content from RAM).20:22

ddilingermagicianlord: yup, frame that spare 2gb and put it on the wall next to the PC :)20:29
k-radthe answer you gave20:29
twbdmagicianlord, most users need more RAM just too run gnome+openoffice+firefox+some other programs at the same time, people who need less ram usually know rather good what they're doing and which software to choose (e.g. openbox/icewm/xfce... instead of gnome, etc) or they just swap20:29

k-radthats for when memory needs get to be too high then it'll dig into hard drive allocated swap20:32
ddilingerbreeee: swap space keeps programs running when you run out of real memory :)20:32
ddilingerbreeee: how much memory in your machine?20:33
breeeeDo you advise that? .. oh. Uh. I think RAM 2GB20:33
mobasherbreeee=}} virutal memeory20:33
twbdepaphus, yep, so the frist line counts the disk cache as used ram. So when copying a file, the content of that file stays in ram and is thus counted as used.  As soon as some software needs more ram and all ram is used by software and disk cache, that ram that is used for disk cache will be given to the software that asks for more ram.20:33

tofixvvcephei, nop ... thanks20:35
okapi14hi all20:35
Skaperenepaphus: depends on how much RAM compare to how much VM is needed ... if sum(VM) < RAM ... sure, no swap needed (and in fact my server is configured that way)20:35

epaphusikonia, ddilinger .. right but if swap is always 2x RAM.. then.. if I have 2GB of RAM, and SWAP is 4.. then isnt it just smart to have 6GB of ram and not have swap?20:36
okapi14Have a problem with my mouse not responding to the click unless I use ctrl+shift key. How can I disable it?20:36
ddilingerDanaG1: depends on how badly its into swap, if you leave firefox and chrome and odesk and other things open, but only use one at a time, the application currently running will be fast20:36
ikoniaepaphus: swap is not always 2 x ram20:36
ddilingerDanaG1: swapping from the browser to openoffice would likely incur a pause while loading from swap20:36
ikoniaepaphus: ram is not always available, and using ram for "sleeping" processes is a waste, hence swapping out to disk is good20:36

k-radi know i'm not running a mac and i don't want to be running a mac but there are many that have the bottom dock much like OSX, i'm not trying to emulate osx, but rather, find the best option from those who have tinkered with all of them.  i'd rather get it right the first time then go through each one by one and test them myself20:37
Jordan_Uepaphus: It also means that if something crazy happens and you're running out of RAM fast, you have more time before the OOM killer kicks in and starts killing processes.20:38
ddilingerepaphus: the extra memory is more of a buffer zone.  The swap isn't fast but it will keep your computer from going crazy20:38
ddilingerepaphus: otherwise, say some random website causes a memory leak in firefox, and now firefox is using 2GB of ram on your 2GB machine, with swap you can kill firefox, without swap the kernel will randomly kill programs20:39
banddmagicianlord: under permissions tab is says "Permissions of drive could not be detertmined"20:39
epaphusddilinger, Jordan_U .. so in a db server.. its best to have swap BUT monitor that it should really almost never be used.20:39

mobasherSkaperen=}} sure if your hardware is supported in the newer versions then you can get rid of it...are you running it all from stick or physical drive ?20:45
ddilingerepaphus: run it a second time, it will run super fast, because dd thinks its reading /dev/sda but the kernel is feeding it straight out of memory cache20:45
Skaperenmobasher: these images are for raw dd-ing to USB flash drives ... in lieu of using ISOs (but they work as ISOs, too)20:45
baxterubuntuhey guys i have a dv6000 and when i disable the touchpad on laptop the keyboard stops working. so does menus and right click. it was same on 10.04.1 i read its the synaptics touchpad driver any ideas20:46
Tuxon86#chanlist20:46
christozddilinger, there is no touchpad key unfortunately20:46
baxterubuntufor laptop20:46
epaphusddilinger, and in your specific case.. you would benefit from 8GB of ram specially if your db is smaller then 8GB of ram... right? so do you maintain proportion between your ram and the size of your db?20:46
SteelPangolinSkaperen: are you talking about the netbook remix images for 10.04? I've had no luck getting those things to work when dded to USB sticks20:46
baxterubuntudo ddisable. mouse20:46
ddilingerepaphus: the ammount of ram on a db server should hopefully enough to be able to keep all hot data in memory20:47
mobasherSkaperen=}} so u have been running it on flash drive...well if want try the new 10.04 it's pretty good...alot of new features20:47
breeee:D 10.0420:47
baxterubuntuand use a usb mouse. if i bump the enable key for for touchpad then disable it keybord stops working20:47
ddilingerepaphus: hot data, being everything that is read on a regular basis.  You dont need enough memory to store the mostly-unused parts of the db20:47
SkaperenSteelPangolin: no ... I'm talking about dd-able images I have made from the original .iso ... for desktop, and more recently also for netbook, editions20:47
guntbert!enter | baxterubuntu20:47
ubottubaxterubuntu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!20:47
epaphusddilinger, cool.t nx.20:47
SkaperenSteelPangolin: the way I make these images, they work both as dd-able to flash drive AND cdrecord-able to CDr/DVDr20:48
casrmtI know the kernel works with 4GB of ram in the x86 release of mav but should I run the 64bit release if I plan on upgrading to 8GB shortly?20:48

I'm trying to setup pulseaudio so i can play audio from my PC, and be able to switch it over to the media center PC.  I've checked 'Enable network access to local sound' along with 'Allow other machines in LAN' and 'Don't require authentication'  and restarted pulseaudio on my mediacenter, On my  PC the mediacenter doesn't show up in padevchooser as an option for output.  If i manually set 20:50
mobasherSkaperen=}} well best thing to do is have virtualbox installed and you can play with in that instead of horsing around with the acutal OS on your PC...it's pretty cool check it out20:50
SkaperenSteelPangolin: when dd-ing, be sure to dd to the whole drive (of course, it erases everything)20:50
SteelPangolinSkaperen: the first 9.x series image i used came as a dd-able file and worked fine. I was pretty disappointed when the 10.x images didn't work.20:51

Swiananyone know a good app for converting a dvd to an avi or mpg20:52
SteelPangolinSwian: handbrake20:52
Swianthanks20:53
basix-is there a good picture/video editing program for ubuntu? i am looking for something to compare with what mac offers20:53
vvcepheiRingZer0: that's a microsoft commercial20:53
angevelondagon666, this means that my network shares are either a different drive entirley or to there at all, well i have dugg around google and ubuntu help for hours, and i cant find a good command to help me match my uuid to the correct volume name, so i know witch drive is witch20:53
SteelPangolinSwian: also, DVDs are already in a kind of MPEG format (MPEG-2 with some junk bolted on)20:53
coz_anyonw know how to increase the value  of   ulimit -l20:53
xanguabasix-: gimp, krita, openshot, etc20:53
dagon666angevelon: example: sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep -i uuid20:53
vvcepheithey took those quotes from their own focus groups, hired people to read them, and posted it to youtube20:53
SteelPangolinSwian: you might want to look into .mkv, which handbrake also does, if you want to capture menus, subtitles, etc.20:53
Swianyeah, I've learned about that format recently20:54
ZykoticK9SteelPangolin, Swian I love Handbrake but it doesn't do AVI or MPEG output anymore20:54
dagon666angevelon: there was even a shorter one but I dont remember right now20:54
codydbgthello20:54
Swian.mkv is fine20:54

SteelPangolinbasix-: Mac OS X has an image editor?20:55
magicianlordwhen trying to play sound from multiple apps20:55
angevelondaggon666, very cool thanks, so this will tell me what the sda name of a uuid is, or what the uuid of an sda name is? and once i get that matched, how do i know what the actual partition volume name is?20:55
* Skaperen will be looking for some software to go the OTHER way on DVDs ... to convert his own videos into DVDs ... eventually (maybe next month or two)20:55

SteelPangolinSkaperen: that's fun on a bun, especially if you're re-encoding video compressed with a modern codec back to MPEG-220:56
basix-ddilinger, hm.. actually the one i'm thinking of by mac is more like $10020:56
duffydack'devede'20:56
dagon666angevelon: you can ommit the grep in this command and you'll get full partition info including its volume label20:56
=== mono is now known as Monomium
angevelondagon666, i think i should tell further about how i am trying to correct this problem, i would like to have each drive(by uuid) mount to its specific partition volume name in fstab on every reboot20:56
codydbgtcan any here me20:57
ddilingerbasix-: if you would actually say a program name maybee people wouldk now what you want20:57
SkaperenSteelPangolin: my "videos" are actually time-lapse photos in PNG ... so pretty straight encoding20:57
SteelPangolinbasix-, ddilinger: so  basix- you're looking for something more like iLife than Final Cut?20:57

ZykoticK9Skaperen, to create DVD Video disks I've personally had the most luck with DeVeDe (it's in default repo)20:59
SkaperenSteelPangolin: but It's the whole DVD/BluRay authoring, menu making, etc ... that I will be looking for (once these photos are made)20:59
SteelPangolini have a question related to basix-'s but with a narrower scope, specifically raster image editing - is there somthing like the Paint.NET project for Windows, but for Ubuntu? Maybe a cutdown version of the GIMP with a less awful UI?20:59

rockhopperWhat is the best virtualisation software for using in ubuntu?21:29
guntbert!best | RockerBoy40221:29
ubottuRockerBoy402: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.21:29
guntbertrockhopper: ^^21:30
maxpower_hah21:30
ehcahSteelPangolin: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/515222/21:30

SteelPangolinrockhopper: and budget21:30
altinSteelPangolin do u know  why ubuntu 10.10 doesnt boot from live CD at some computers, even in good ones ??21:30
maxpower_why? what is the lightest virtualization?21:30
Jordan_Ucodydbgt: You are on an irc network, freenode, which contains many support channels. Currently you are in the #ubuntu channel on freenode, if you type "/join ##windows" you will join the windows support channel on freenode.21:30
rockhopperSteelPangolin, I'm thinking of running it on a dedicated atom processor based computer.21:30
maxpower_I had a few problems with 10.10 install/live CD as well21:30
SteelPangolinmaxpower_: it's a matter of processor features21:30

ubottuPsuedoreality: #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!21:31
SteelPangolinrockhopper: i don't think Atoms come with Intel's virtualization extensions, so you're going to notice major slowdowns. I might be wrong about this on pine trail but I think Intel likes to keep Atom segmented into the consumer market, so no VT-x21:31
maxpower_oh, ok. thanks..I thought that maybe there were some virtualization that sucks more cycles than necessary21:31

_jesse_gkffcks: I try -s 0 and it says there are 0 sizes21:40

SteelPangolinvdubhack: and modification dates, etc.21:40
hobomoi originally had this working in gnome-terminal using the following command -> gnome-terminal --tab -t gameServer1.py -e "python /media/F5B6-D9E4/pythongame/newapp/gameServer1.py & sleep 1" --tab -t newclient.py -e "python /media/F5B6-D9E4/pythongame/newapp/newclient.py"21:41

SteelPangolinvdubhack: as long as you have the -n option, rsync will not delete anything. Actually, I'm not sure it can delete anything without the --delete flag normally21:41

Jordan_Uprusik: First try to use testdisk to detect what filesystems are actually on the disk and create a valid partition table. If the partition table is your only problem then you should be able to mount the partitions at that point and just copy the data over.

coz_erUSUL,   also I tried setting user to audio group  apparenlty   not well22:57

twinkie_addictkhalidmian, if you did reboot youl be aout of failsafe22:58

SteelPangolinbasix-: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/live/ if you want to easily evaluate it23:35
ddilingermatthewg42: something with a while statement,  while pidof something;do true;done maybee23:35
basix-ok, thanks SteelPangolin23:35
SteelPangolinbasix-: those should have drivers for most of the hardware XBMC can talk to23:35
ddilingermatthewg42: dont use that code directly though, a small sleep is in order, maybee some redirection to cleanup pidof output, but the idea should work23:35
erUSULetheretic3: fdupes ? i think there is a gui for it23:36
matthewg42ddlinger:  thanks.  Yeah I've done stuff like this many times in shell scripts - was just wondering if anyone else ever thought to make a tool for it to abbreviate their scripting.23:36
ddilingermatthewg42: shrug, could make it a shell function and have it imported23:37

techtronictrism: sorry can you reapeat your last comment23:38
ddilingermatthewg42: but generally, no i havn't heard of a standalone tool that does it.  Couldn't be that hard to strip down the pidof code and release a new tool though :)23:39
etheretic3erUSUL: may be - just synaptic'ed it. looks like cli, but i'll install and see.23:39
trismtechtronic: instead try: gnome-terminal -x bash -c 'command; bash'; might be what you are looking for23:39

iderikHello, is it possible to make a full format and install ubuntu without any external hdd? :/23:40
erUSULetheretic3: http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/23:40
matthewg42ddilinger: well it's certainly easy to wrap it up in a tiny perl script.  The script I wrote uses pgrep and grabs all pids for a given name, and wait for them to terminate.  I should add options to filter bu UID and so on.23:41

matthewg42ddilinger: I also wrote a much more flexiable fwait which watches files.  Checks for 0 size or non-existence or existence or permission change (what it waits for depends on command  line options).  I find it useful.23:41
