| DiEgoR | hello there, could anybody hit me with a link how to set up a new user in Ubuntu, that would only have access to his home directory? Thnks! | 00:03 |
| maheanuu_ | everything was fine until I did the upgrade and tried to get back into my download files and as soon as I hit the Home folder it brings up the media player | 00:03 |
| jsec | Anyone have any experience with Creative X-Fi sound drivers? | 00:04 |
| GanonKiller | Diegor: click system-administration-users and groups | 00:04 |
| obengdako | GanonKiller: it DiEgoR, | 00:04 |
| GanonKiller | obengdako: i dont care | 00:05 |
| asdfjasdfjasdf | Hey guys, is it possible to take the empty space and move it to the partition on the far left here? http://i.imgur.com/XVILW.png | 00:05 |
| DiEgoR | GanonKiller> I know but my experience is, this user gets access to anything on the machine. | 00:05 |
| talcite | hey guys. I'm trying to backup my system to an external drive using rsync, but I keep getting an error about 30 seconds into the transfer | 00:05 |
| obengdako | GanonKiller: anyway i also don't really care but i was hoping it would reach diegor, but your suggestion is cool | 00:06 |
| DiEgoR | <obengdako>thanks, I see this anyway :-) | 00:06 |
| talcite | The error I'm getting is pastebinned here: http://pastebin.com/nvu16QJA | 00:06 |
| GanonKiller | Diegor: change the group that the user is in | 00:06 |
| obengdako | GanonKiller, how would the new user be completely masked from the entire filesystem | 00:06 |
| obengdako | GanonKiller, i get it if the user has no privileges and stuff it would work | 00:07 |
| ronbomb | does anyone of anygood accouting programs that could possibly replace quickbooks? | 00:07 |
| GanonKiller | obendago: the user is built-in.. like root | 00:07 |
| obengdako | DiEgoR: thanks | 00:08 |
| Guest34696 | does anyone know how to tether a motorola tundra? | 00:08 |

| Bilz | GanonKiller, got it to mount the iso by creating the directory /media/cdrom0 | 00:08 |
| GanonKiller | obengdako: make sure to delete the rights of the user(s) in all groups | 00:08 |
| obengdako | GanonKiller: i see | 00:09 |
| DiEgoR | <GanonKiller> so, in a nutshell what group should I put this user in? | 00:09 |
| GanonKiller | Bilz: now install network manager from terminal | 00:09 |
| melon | HELP Please: I am running 10.10-64bit and I installed Python 2.7 from source on the Python home page. And now I am having all kinds of things not work, is there any way for me to uninstall python 2.7 and point everything back to python 2.6.5 (thats still installed) | 00:09 |
| ronbomb | thanks jsec | 00:09 |
| DiEgoR | and what privileges should I remove? | 00:09 |
| GanonKiller | Diegor: what permissions do you wish to give that user? | 00:09 |
| Bilz | GanonKiller, aint working now | 00:10 |
| Bilz | i dont know what to do | 00:10 |
| GanonKiller | Bilz... you didnt have to create the directory | 00:10 |
| DiEgoR | <GanonKiller> pretty much anything in the hardware space, but only to be able to see own files. | 00:10 |
| Bilz | GanonKiller, it wasnt working otherwise | 00:10 |
| Bilz | not it says failed to mount '/dev/sr0' to /media/apt/' | 00:11 |
| GanonKiller | Bilz: were you able to play cd's? | 00:11 |
| vocx | melon, dummy, the easy way is to remove the entire python2.7 structure but first do this "file /usr/bin/python" | 00:11 |
| cablop | bilz what are you trying to do? | 00:11 |
| Bilz | now* when i try to sudp apt-cdrom add | 00:11 |
| Bilz | GanonKiller, yes | 00:11 |
| Bilz | cablop, i removed network manager and cant get internet access | 00:11 |
| Bilz | and wish to reinstall | 00:11 |
| Bilz | trying to connect through command line isnt working | 00:11 |
| Bilz | but i was having problems with the net before removing network manager | 00:12 |
| maco | Bilz: configuring /etc/network/interfaces and using "ifup" isnt working? | 00:12 |
| melon | vocx, doing now | 00:12 |
| obengdako | Bilz, try ifconfig too | 00:12 |
| Bilz | maco, havent tried that, dont know it. I just want my network manager back :'( | 00:12 |
| Bilz | obengdako, tried that | 00:12 |
| maco | Bilz: check "man 5 interfaces" for how to use that file | 00:13 |
| obengdako | Bilz sudo that | 00:13 |
| obengdako | with interface name | 00:13 |
| melon | vocx, it said : /usr/bin/python: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/python' | 00:13 |
| cablop | bilz what is the problem with sudo apt-get cdrom? | 00:13 |
| GanonKiller | Bilz: well have make the USB ubuntu drive mount to cd type.. thats the only to update from cd.. unless you make a new mount | 00:13 |
| vocx | melon, now "file /etc/alternatives/python" | 00:14 |
| cablop | bilz or you could rename the cdrom0 mount point and create a symlink while adding the usb | 00:14 |
| Bilz | so when i was trying sudo apt-cdrom add it was telling me it could not mount the cd to /media/apt | 00:15 |
| omnydevi | when i install the nvidia hardware driver, on reboot the video doesn't turn on. it isn't anything, just black, and i have to reinstall. i cannot boot into anything. is there a way to see if it works now without having to reinstall the OS if it doesn't work? | 00:15 |
| Bilz | so then i mounted the iso directly to /media/apt and did sudo apt-cdrom add which seemed to work | 00:15 |
| cablop | bilz, but a simplier way could be to copy the cdrom iso and mount it | 00:15 |
| Bilz | then tried to install network-manager but "package network manager is not available, but is referred to bye another package..." | 00:15 |
| melon | vocx, it said: " /etc/alternatives/python: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/python2.6' " | 00:16 |
| Bilz | is there is not asimple installation file i can download onto my usb stick | 00:16 |
| ashiswin | i'm using ubuntu 10.10 When i get to the logon screen to type the password, i cannot type anything. Even when i use the on-screen keyboard, nothing appears. therefore, i am unable to log on. Why? | 00:16 |
| peacememories | hi, guys | 00:16 |
| cablop | bilz, you need to edit the sources list, then sudo apt-get update | 00:16 |
| cablop | then install the network manager | 00:17 |
| cablop | i think if you do this through the synaptics package manager would be easier | 00:17 |
| ashiswin | i really need help. I need my computer for my exam later! | 00:17 |
| ashiswin | i'm using ubuntu 10.10 When i get to the logon screen to type the password, i cannot type anything. Even when i use the on-screen keyboard, nothing appears. therefore, i am unable to log on. Why? | 00:17 |
| Bilz | same problem | 00:18 |
| Onepamopa | video card driver issue ? | 00:18 |
| vocx | melon, mmm that can't be right. My /usr/bin/python points directly to /usr/bin/python2.6 | 00:18 |
| Bilz | why cant i just download an installation file for it? | 00:18 |
| peacememories | maybe someone here knows the reason or even a solution to my problem: | 00:18 |
| Onepamopa | ashiswin did u try to kill the gui and restart it ? | 00:18 |
| GanonKiller | geez.... i stil cant find the drivers for my GPS Card | 00:18 |
| peacememories | first of all, my problem occurs only on linux but on every linux I've tried so far | 00:19 |
| onryo | peace_memories valium helps | 00:19 |
| obengdako | ashiswin, what exactly is the case? | 00:19 |
| ashiswin | well | 00:19 |
| DiEgoR | <GanonKiller> any ideas what could I do? I am fine with command line et al. but there should be very simple solution and I am just not groking it. | 00:19 |
| maheanuu_ | Ok I am not seeing Sound or Video on my Main Menu any longer... Perhaps it has been hosed by the upgrade | 00:19 |
| datta | in ubuntu, I am losing focus on processing.org every time go on another window | 00:19 |
| hazard | The Ubuntu Remix I installed on my friends HP netbook earlier was working fine on my wireless, once we activated the driver. When he brought it back this evening for sound troubles, the wireless wasn't working, and when I try to activate the driver I get an error saying installArchive() failed. | 00:19 |
| datta | I think this is a problem with java, did anyone else face this? | 00:19 |
| peacememories | it's a bit strange: when i don't move my mouse, the laptop seems to kinda fall asleep O.o | 00:19 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, i'm using ubuntu 10.10 When i get to the logon screen to type the password, i cannot type anything. Even when i use the on-screen keyboard, nothing appears. therefore, i am unable to log on. I | 00:19 |
| melon | vocx, yet if i type "python" it brings me to 2.7 & many pyGTK apps stopped working (PlayOnLInux, Screenlets, etc.) | 00:19 |
| GanonKiller | diegor: are you running 'chmod' ? | 00:19 |
| ashiswin | I'm not sure why this happens though. it even can detect that i have caps lock on obengdako. but i cannot type anything else | 00:20 |
| datta | if not, is there any other alternative for processing.org programming, with executable .pde files? | 00:20 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin: goto tty2.. and see if you can login | 00:20 |
| obengdako | ashiswin, switch to a virtual terminal and see if your keyboard works there? | 00:20 |
| melon | vocx, so I tried reinstalling pyGTK from source and now I can not get to the software center or update packages I get a error: " Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/software-center" (Permission denied) " | 00:20 |
| ashiswin | how do i do that Ganon | 00:20 |
| dominicdinada | how to open mysql/mysql admin ports for local network traffic only as i am trying to remotely admin mysql and always get errors, using programs such as mysql workbench i am able to connect via SSH for table management but unable to run admin level functions | 00:21 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin: ctrl+alt+f2 | 00:21 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, when i start in recovery mode and use the terminal it works. but at the logon screen i can't even press ctrl-alt-f1 to open the terminal | 00:21 |
| Guest34696 | 34696 | 00:21 |
| DiEgoR | <GanonKiller> sure. The reason I am asking this question here is that I believe there should be a really simple 2 step solution. I mean this is probably the most generic task on a multiuser system - set up new user with a restricted access? So maybe this is why I can not google it. | 00:21 |
| ashiswin | Ganon, at the logon screen i cannot press ctrl-alt-anything. it doesnt detect | 00:21 |
| obengdako | ashiswin, does the caps indicator come on? | 00:22 |
| vocx | melon, did you install python 2.7 or pyGTK from source? Or both? The original is still 2.6.5 right? | 00:22 |
| hazard | Does anybody know how to resolve this installArchive() failure in the context of wireless drivers? | 00:22 |
| datta | anyone used processing.org in ubuntu? | 00:22 |
| ashiswin | yes obendako | 00:22 |
| ashiswin | obengdako* | 00:22 |

| hazard | ubottu: I did already. | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:23 |
| ashiswin | laptop obengdako and GanonKiller | 00:23 |
| cablop | lol | 00:23 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:23 |
| bahadunn | I wonder if the same bugs from 2 releases ago will be fixed this time | 00:23 |
| mtx_init | ^Mike: Download something like the Ultimate Boot CD and run prime 95 on the computer. if it runs for an hour or two fine then it is likely not hardware and could possibly memory but also likely a system error | 00:23 |
| obengdako | ashiswin you cannot do ctrl-alt-F1 even now? | 00:23 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin.... your keyboard contact may be loose | 00:24 |
| Gilmore | ubottu: what gives? | 00:24 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:24 |
| ashiswin | i'm using windows now obengdako. its a dualboot | 00:24 |
| melon | vocx, I installed both from source first 2.7 then many apps were nto working sending me pygtk errors and such so I installed gyGTK from source (latest) and now I can not get to software center, about gnome and a few other things. And yes python 2.6.5 is still intact did not uninstall it | 00:24 |
| Gilmore | ubottu: what are you? | 00:24 |
| bahadunn | Gilmore: a bot? | 00:24 |
| bahadunn | ubottu: hi | 00:24 |
| Gilmore | overload | 00:24 |
| obengdako | ashiswin then do reboot in recovery mode and start gdm and see if any error message or so comes up | 00:24 |
| datta | !processing.org | 00:24 |
| ashiswin | how do you start gdm obengdako? | 00:25 |
| obengdako | i hope rebooting does not send you offline from this discussion | 00:25 |
| mtx_init | ^Mike: in my experience it tends to usually be a stick of memory going bad. This will do a lot of math on your computer to text it | 00:25 |
| vocx | melon, where is the folder with the source code? Perhaps you can go into it and do "sudo make uninstall" | 00:25 |
| ashiswin | it does obengdako | 00:25 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin... you have to restart to linux... & change your session to recovery mode | 00:25 |
| obengdako | when you are in recovery mode or so i think it would ask you to continue in recovery or do normal boot | 00:25 |
| melon | vocx, they are both on my desktop. so try sudo make uninstall? | 00:25 |
| ^Mike | mtx_init: k, will do | 00:26 |
| ashiswin | which do i do obengdako? | 00:26 |
| obengdako | then i think you should just run sudo gdm | 00:26 |

| ashiswin | and obengdako, it will send me offline, cos its a dualboot | 00:26 |
| ashiswin | ok | 00:26 |
| ashiswin | i'll be back in a while | 00:26 |
| hazard | Bugger all. I can't even find the basics in this Remix. | 00:26 |
| obengdako | there have been some revision in the way gdm now is started but i'm sure that should work | 00:26 |
| GanonKiller | any of you have exp with GPS cards in ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| obengdako | ashiswin have you used any ubuntu version prior to this? | 00:27 |
| dominicdinada | obengdako: hes gone he left to reboot | 00:27 |
| GanonKiller | this gps card is driving me nuts | 00:27 |
| vdubhack | any one know why a fresh install of 10.10 64bit would use up a ton of HD space on a standard install? I installed on a 390GB drive and after install and adding nothing else the drive had 337GB free? | 00:28 |
| obengdako | dominicdinada, i didn't even realise he quit | 00:28 |
| vocx | melon, yes, get inside pyGTK 2.7 first and then Python 2.7 | 00:28 |
| vocx | melon, that is, going backwards | 00:28 |
| GanonKiller | vdubhack.... i think your freespace size is too big | 00:28 |
| melon | vocx, okay doing now | 00:28 |
| vdubhack | GannonKiller: What do you mean by that? This didnt happen when I did 10.04 | 00:29 |
| GanonKiller | vdubhack: check your sizing margins | 00:29 |
| anheuser | is it normal to have both 2.6.32-24 and 23 in the grub boot? | 00:29 |
| JeffJassky_ | Hey, guys. I'm a very first time ubuntu user. Actually - i haven't even used it yet. I'm attempting to set up a USB stick to boot from (using my Macbook Pro). I've set up the disk sucessfully (I believe) however it's not showing up as an option to boot from. I get my internal disk partitions - just no USB stick. I know USB booting is enabled because I can boot from usb hard disks without problems. Anyone have any tips i might try? | 00:30 |
| anheuser | 25 and 24 i mean | 00:30 |
| bahadunn | anheuser: why not? | 00:30 |
| vdubhack | GannonKiller: So your saying a 64bit install should use over 60GB of HD space for just the install? Even windows doesnt go over 2GB | 00:30 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, it didnt work. it started up the logon screen again and i still couldnt type | 00:30 |
| anheuser | should i remove 24? or it doesnt matter | 00:30 |
| bahadunn | vdubhack: that sounds incorrect | 00:30 |
| obengdako | ashiswin i'm not sure | 00:31 |
| jasshans | iei | 00:31 |
| bahadunn | vdubhack: I have 64bit and my default install was 4GB or so | 00:31 |
| ashiswin | GannonKiller, any ideas? | 00:31 |
| bahadunn | it's about 8GB now but I have added software | 00:31 |
| obengdako | i asked if you have used any ubuntu version before? | 00:31 |
| vdubhack | Well my drive was 390GB and after the install looking at the file system says 337.2GB free | 00:31 |
| ashiswin | oh, obengdako i have been using from 8.10 | 00:31 |

| kkerwin | Hi. How do I concatenate multiple rar files into a single ISO image? | 00:31 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin: can you type in windows? | 00:32 |
| ashiswin | but recently the hdd died and so i reinstalled from 10.04 and did an upgrade | 00:32 |
| bahadunn | vdubhack: what does df -h say in a commandline? | 00:32 |
| ashiswin | yea GanonKiller, i'm using it now to chat | 00:32 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin: then it could be that your layout is wrong | 00:33 |
| vdubhack | says it started with a smaller size than 390 says it was 358? | 00:33 |
| obengdako | ashiswin, i'm really not sure what the problem is what have been your last actions on the ubuntu before this problem? | 00:33 |
| cablop | vdubhack: be sure you are comparing GB against GB and not agains GiB | 00:33 |
| melon | vocx, it seemed to work fine on pyGTK doing python 2.7 now | 00:33 |
| cablop | vdubhack: it seems that one tool is reporting you GB and you are reading it now in GiB | 00:33 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, i was having problems with wine. so i downgraded some packages to install wine. and now when i started it up again this morning, this happened | 00:34 |
| pepee | hi, my system freezes randomly. the keyboard don't respond after the freeze | 00:34 |
| obengdako | GanonKiller, he says there is no activity if the layout is wrong at least different characters would be displayed i'm not sure about the layout but he could give it a shot | 00:34 |
| vdubhack | cablop: weird makes sense but weird | 00:34 |
| vocx | melon, Okay, I guess it takes some to compile and install eh? I've never done it myself. It's bad to try to upgrade Python, which is a critical component of the system. | 00:34 |
| vdubhack | I knew was too soon for 10.10 :P | 00:34 |
| sbircio77 | ciao | 00:34 |
| JeffJassky_ | Anyone have any tips for me? my issue is posted above. | 00:35 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, i did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" and selected the stuff i needed. is there one for the gdm? cos even the on-screen keyboard cannot type anything | 00:35 |
| cablop | vdubhack: also it depends on the filesystem you are using... i got a 1TB disk reported as 940 GB or so, and formated in ext3 format and lost more GB reserved for filesystem... then 890 GB usable, LOL | 00:35 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin... i think you kbd gonfigure in corrupt | 00:36 |
| melon | vocx, does ntot ake to long for pyGTK i was reading over everything making sure nothing carzy happend. & when I tried to uninstall python 2.7 I got: " make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop. " | 00:36 |
| vdubhack | cablop: Thanks so do you think I should just leave it and not try and reinstall and reset the partitions? | 00:36 |
| ashiswin | whats that GanonKiller? | 00:36 |
| GanonKiller | i mean configure | 00:37 |
| melon | vocx, not take* | 00:37 |
| cablop | vdubhack: what filesystem are you using on it? ext3 eats a lot for itself | 00:37 |
| ashiswin | how do i fix it GanonKiller | 00:37 |
| vdubhack | ext4 | 00:37 |
| vdubhack | actually the ext4 JFS | 00:37 |
| cablop | vdubhack: but don't worry, any filesystem as long as you add files starts to eat more disk to save the extra info | 00:37 |
| JediMaster | anyone know why running ubuntu server (10.10) on a micro$oft hyper-v VM makes the text scroll up the page at one line per second, making using the terminal almost impossible to use? I've got an almost identical VM setup pretty much the same way and it doesn't do the same thing, it responds quickly without any issues | 00:37 |
| cablop | vdubhack: maybe this is the reason... | 00:37 |
| Dulak | cablop: ext fses reserve 5% of inodes for root only use, so you don't crash and burn from a user filling up a disk, it's tunable | 00:38 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, any ideas how to fix kbd configure? | 00:38 |
| vdubhack | cablop: Maybe I just never payed close enough attention until now since its a brand new laptop | 00:38 |
| obengdako | JeffJassky, how did you write to the usb | 00:38 |
| pepee | my system freezes randomly. and the keyboard and mouse won't respond after that | 00:38 |
| ashiswin | or do i need to reinstall from scratch? | 00:38 |
| vocx | melon, mmm... did you follow a guide to install Python, or just downloaded from python.org and hit make | 00:39 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin... somewhere along the line your KBD came corrupt | 00:39 |
| obengdako | ashiswin not sure about that idea though | 00:39 |
| JeffJassky_ | I'm attempting to set up a USB stick to boot from (using my Macbook Pro). I've set up the disk sucessfully (I believe) however it's not showing up as an option to boot from. I get my internal disk partitions - just no USB stick. Sorry,I know this is a noob question. Then again, I'm an ubuntu noob | 00:39 |
| ashiswin | GanonKiller, does that mean i need to reinstall? | 00:39 |
| vdubhack | Thanks everyone :) | 00:40 |
| cablop | JediMaster: same operative system? i mean same ubuntu? lucid deals with hardware in a new way, making it slower in virtualbox... you need to disable ioapic or acpi or both to make it run... welll acceptable | 00:40 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin... more or less | 00:40 |
| ashiswin | ok then | 00:40 |
| ashiswin | thanks obengdako and GanonKiller | 00:40 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin.. what version of ubuntu install are you using? | 00:40 |
| JediMaster | cablop yes, but just upgraded from lucid to maverick | 00:41 |
| obengdako | ashiswin it may come to that but once your terminal responds in recovery mode i guess you should boot in recovery mode and continue in recovery mode and try to reconfigure gdm | 00:41 |
| melon | vocx, did the standered "./configure; make; sudo make instal"l (not all in one line though) | 00:41 |
| mobasher | how do i check the contents of the iso without burning it ? | 00:41 |
| JediMaster | cablop, how do I disable those? | 00:41 |
| ashiswin | obengdako, terminal works in recovery mode | 00:41 |
| melon | mobasher, archieve manger or mount it | 00:41 |
| ashiswin | so how do i reconfigure gdm obengdako? | 00:42 |
| mobasher | melon=>> archive manager doesn't open it i tried | 00:42 |
| vocx | melon, usually the is a make uninstall. Well. Okay, so "python -V" gives 2.7? | 00:42 |
| obengdako | so probably do your sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm or so | 00:42 |
| ideshikyouske | Ohaiyo mi na | 00:42 |
| cablop | JediMaster: it depends on the ubuntu version and virtualbox you are using, also i recomment to not to use multiple cores in the vm and so on | 00:42 |
| ashiswin | that will work obengdako? | 00:42 |
| RdWings19 | got a samba share question... looked online but getting a permission error | 00:42 |
| ashiswin | ok i'll try | 00:42 |
| ashiswin | i'll be back in a while | 00:42 |
| GanonKiller | ashiswin: it wont help w/o input | 00:42 |
| ideshikyouske | umm. how do you connnect wirelessly with backtrack 4 R1 linux? | 00:43 |
| cablop | I LOVE THAT KRUSADER PIECO OF SOFTWARE!!! | 00:43 |
| songer | cablop: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. | 00:43 |
| JediMaster | cablop: hyper-v I'm afraid, that was the only difference, that one had 4 cores set and the one that works fine had 1, set both to 1 and rebooted everyhing and still not fixed | 00:43 |
| cablop | Piece | 00:43 |
| melon | vocx, "Python 2.7" | 00:43 |
| obengdako | it might not sure what the root of your problem is | 00:43 |

| pepee | aubrey616, what problems? | 00:48 |
| dutt | think i've fucked up my grub when trying to install burg. now i've got a grub-rescue prompt. how do i restore grub? kubuntu 10.10 installed through Wubi from Win7 | 00:49 |
| aubrey616 | pepee: throughput , low signal | 00:49 |
| RdWings19 | how do i permanently mount a share that I have connected to in Nautilus? | 00:49 |
| cwhaleyjr | hell all i have a upgrade question i am doing some offline upgrades using the alt cd but im not finding one for the netbook edition any ideas? | 00:49 |
| pepee | aubrey616, ah | 00:49 |
| pepee | my system freezes randomly. and the keyboard and mouse won't respond after that. please, someone help me | 00:49 |
| vocx | melon, perhaps recreating the simlink to python 2.6 like "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python" | 00:49 |
| cablop | dutt check in win7 if wubi has a repair option in the software manager | 00:50 |
| cbleslie | miasma: left click on the "sound icon", select "Sound Preferances..." A dialoug will open. Click on the output tab. You should be able to choose your output device. | 00:50 |
| pepee | dutt, you have to repair the mbr | 00:50 |
| peter__ | tyyty | 00:50 |
| trojan | dutt, can u get into ubuntu? | 00:50 |
| cablop | duttt nothing else comes to my mind... | 00:50 |
| dutt | calbon: i can't boot at all | 00:50 |
| dutt | since i have a rescue prompt it seems i could do _somthing_ | 00:50 |
| pepee | dutt, just install grub from a livecd | 00:50 |
| cablop | pepee is a wubi ubuntu... | 00:50 |
| dutt | my external cd-drive is in sweden, i'm in sydney... | 00:51 |
| pepee | ahh | 00:51 |
| miasma | cbleslie: i was just asking because i had disabled pulseaudio completely. haven't had need for it, but now i've seen how win7 automatically switches audio output device when hdmi cable is plugged in | 00:51 |
| pepee | dutt, try reading a grub manual or something | 00:51 |
| miasma | would be nice to have that | 00:51 |
| JeffJassky_ | Trying to make a bootable USB stick.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffjassky/5095242250/ does that look about right? | 00:51 |
| dutt | mkay | 00:51 |
| cablop | miasma my netbook auto do that, but dunno if it is pulse or hardware | 00:51 |
| cbleslie | miasma: Might want to enable pulse? | 00:51 |
| melon | vocx, Okay it went through error free | 00:51 |
| miasma | cablop: maybe yea. i just heard it doesn't work nicely with multichannel audio | 00:52 |
| cbleslie | miasma: It should "just work" with pulse installed. | 00:52 |
| pepee | the last time I tried repairing grub from that grub cnsole, I couldn't do anything :( | 00:52 |
| GanonKiller | dutt... that is a bug | 00:52 |
| aubrey616 | heh, another question, when switching desktop , the 2nd desktop makes my monitor emit a high pitched noise, wtf is that ? | 00:52 |
| vocx | melon, of course, those removing recreating didn't do much. Now just "python -V" should give you the previous 2.6.5 | 00:52 |
| cbleslie | miasma: Beyond that, I got nothing. Somone else might know better than I. | 00:52 |
| obengdako | JeffJassky, so if you are 100% sure that it is bootable then get you macbook pro bios to see the usb stick | 00:52 |
| miasma | cbleslie: ok, thanks =) | 00:52 |
| dutt | I have booted into ubuntu and used it so everything is there, i just need to restore grub somehow | 00:52 |
| mobasher | !grub | dutt | 00:53 |
| ubottu | dutt: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 00:53 |
| miasma | cbleslie: you also use the nvidia hdmi output? | 00:53 |
| GanonKiller | dutt... wubi has a bug with grub install | 00:53 |
| cbleslie | aubrey616: Too high a Hz? | 00:53 |
| coolwhipdefuser | aubrey616: is it a CRT or LCD/Plasma? | 00:53 |
| melon | vocx, damn it still says "Python 2.7" | 00:53 |
| JeffJassky_ | obengdako - I'm not 100% sure. In fact the only reason I suspect it is.. is because I followed the directions on the ubuntu site to create a bootable usb stick. | 00:53 |
| dutt | GanonKiller: it worked fine, until i tried to install burg instead to get a nicer os selector | 00:53 |
| cwhaleyjr | i need to do a offline upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10 but its the netbook edition and i cant find a alt cd for that would the desktop-alt make me loose my netbook optimizations? | 00:53 |
| trojan | dutt, boot on live OS,, then with partition mounted run,, sudo apt-get remove grub | 00:53 |
| obengdako | in mac? | 00:53 |
| JeffJassky_ | correct | 00:53 |
| vocx | melon, you are running this in the terminal, or idle or something? | 00:54 |
| dutt | trojan: my external cd-drive is in sweden, i'm in sydney | 00:54 |
| lduros | hello, i'm looking for a nice color set/profile for the gnome terminal -- does anybody know where I can find one? Thx | 00:54 |
| GanonKiller | dutt: i think it was a bad install with burg | 00:54 |
| vocx | melon, "file /usr/bin/python" "file /usr/bin/python2.6" "file /usr/bin/python2.7" | 00:54 |
| obengdako | have you tried using the usb stick in another machine to see if it is bootable? | 00:54 |
| trojan | aww ... ur flucked then? | 00:54 |
| obengdako | JeffJassky | 00:54 |
| JeffJassky_ | using terminal. convert the image to an iso, Unmount, format the drive as the iso, etc. No I have not. I do not have another machine available at the moment. | 00:54 |
| dutt | GanonKiller: yes seems like it | 00:55 |
| aubrey616 | coolwhipdefuser: its a LCD, and the hz is correct 60hz | 00:55 |
| melon | vocx. lol yes in the standered terminal | 00:55 |
| trojan | mmm,, u could try re-installing wubi | 00:55 |
| GanonKiller | just reinstall grub through tty2 | 00:55 |
| dutt | if i can just get into ubuntu or windows somehow i can remove it | 00:55 |
| dutt | tty2? | 00:55 |
| trojan | how are u on this? | 00:56 |
| pepee | dutt, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594052 | 00:56 |
| obengdako | Jeffjassky_, then it's a dilemma | 00:56 |
| JeffJassky_ | The stick is PNY brand if that makes any difference.. | 00:56 |
| vocx | melon, type "which python" and "echo $PATH" | 00:56 |
| trojan | dutt, online now.. how? | 00:56 |
| dutt | pepee: thanks, reading...bbl | 00:56 |
| GanonKiller | dutt: since you cant get into linux... i recommened re-installing linux | 00:56 |
| dutt | trojan: friends computer | 00:56 |
| pepee | np | 00:56 |
| bahadunn | does ubuntu 10.10 have a software sources in the administration? | 00:56 |
| Kerrick | How do I remove the "Hibernate" option from GNOME menus (like the one in the upper right hand corner)? It takes an inordinate amount of time to hibernate and resume on my laptop, and I never use the option, but I sometimes accidentally hit it when trying to suspend, and then waste 5 minutes while it goes through the hibernate and wake process. | 00:56 |
| aubrey616 | coolwhipdefuser: you know what it is, its when i open up a terminal and increase the size, It's the terminal/text that produces the high pitched noise | 00:56 |
| obengdako | but if you are certain that you've booted usb devices before then just follow the instructions again and make the usb bootable and retry | 00:57 |
| trojan | put ur hard-drive into it,, or use firends disk-drive | 00:57 |
| GanonKiller | aubrey616.. try turning down the wave or pcm volume | 00:57 |

| Megabyte | Hello? | 00:58 |

| pepee | trojan, laptop. don't really know what the problem is | 00:58 |

| Guest34696 | 34696 | 00:59 |
| coolwhipdefuser | aubrey616: does it happen when the terminal is just sitting there, or only when you are performing an operation? | 00:59 |

| cablop | ajsie su | 01:02 |
| mobasher | ajsie=>> su username | 01:02 |
| GanonKiller | ajsie: you have to exit the current user | 01:02 |
| vocx | melon, rename that piece of cr*#/& "sudo mv /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.7" and then you should be able to "python -V" and 2.6.5 | 01:02 |
| mernillio | Im to fat .. am i the only one? | 01:02 |

| ajsie | root | 01:04 |
| coolwhipdefuser | dutt: not sure what type of computer you're on, but on boot when you hit F8 do you get any other menu options? | 01:04 |
| ajsie | but i know the password is correct cause i can log in as root entirely | 01:04 |
| cablop | ajsie ah! then sudo -i | 01:04 |
| dutt | LG P300, i'll try that. brb | 01:04 |
| obengdako | ajsie then let me guess this is a relatively new install | 01:04 |
| cablop | ajsie: not recommended, but... anyway i se it not too much, but it is | 01:04 |
| ajsie | obengdako: yeah | 01:04 |
| vocx | melon, what? again "which python" please | 01:04 |
| ajsie | ubuntu 10.10 | 01:04 |
| ajsie | they have some more security? | 01:04 |
| trojan | x86 is for ram etc,, depends on how much u have | 01:04 |
| cablop | ajsie try sudo -i this drop you in root shell | 01:05 |
| mernillio | besides trojan being the fatso here! And me being a little overweight. Who ells joins the club of fat ubuntians? :-D | 01:05 |
| coolwhipdefuser | dutt: if you could get into a windows cmd window, just run a fixmbr and you could get back into windows | 01:05 |
| obengdako | ajsie open system>administration>users and group | 01:05 |
| ajsie | cablop: "not in the sudoers file" | 01:05 |
| trojan | plus the update manager will use the best options for the system youre using. | 01:05 |
| vocx | melon, actually "which -a python" please that lists all pythons found in the PATH | 01:05 |
| ajsie | obengdako: im in the terminal | 01:05 |
| cablop | mernillio: i'm not fat, but out of shape | 01:05 |
| ajsie | ubuntu server 10.10 | 01:05 |
| trojan | lol | 01:05 |
| obengdako | ajsie no not in terminal in gnome | 01:05 |
| cablop | ajsie then your user is not an administrator | 01:05 |
| trojan | alrite tubbsy | 01:05 |
| ajsie | but im root also .. how do i set him as a admin? | 01:06 |
| ajsie | with same privelegies as root | 01:06 |
| mernillio | cablop: oki, i dont know if that is a good thing :-( | 01:06 |
| Pentium3 | My touchpad has started working rather erratically, could I get some help? It was fine this morning and I booted it up after school and it jumps all around the place. | 01:06 |

| cablop | are you root? ajsie ? | 01:06 |

| ajsie | cablop: both .. i have 2 terminals | 01:06 |
| GanonKiller | mernillio... what are driving at? ... this is a ubuntu help room not an FA room | 01:06 |
| ajsie | one root, the other usual user | 01:06 |
| melon | vocx, "which -a python" returned: "/usr/bin/python" | 01:06 |
| cwhaleyjr1 | Pentium3 mine does that when it needs cleaned. | 01:06 |
| cablop | mernillio: well, if i tense the abdominals i look nice, otherwise just like any other old geek XD | 01:06 |
| vocx | melon, so please run "python -V" | 01:06 |
| Zyclops | hey is there anyway to ensure that all files under a directory become group writable by default if they are created? | 01:06 |
| coolwhipdefuser | dutt: do you have any sort of optical drive on another computer? i think you can build a USB stick of either Windows or Ubuntu if you have a drive | 01:07 |
| Pentium3 | cwhaleyjr1: any suggestions on how? | 01:07 |
| obengdako | ajsie what else could your problem be this would be solved if you do as i've said | 01:07 |
| cablop | ajsie mmmm weird | 01:07 |
| melon | vocx, it says: "bash: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory" | 01:07 |

| maheanuu | What a day, just finished an upgrade from Studio 10.04 to Ubuntu 10.10 LTS 64 bit and now my menu files are acting up when I go to menu then to places and then to home folder, I find that movie player is trying to open the page | 01:07 |

| vocx | melon, noooooooo, why??? I don't get it. | 01:08 |
| lduros | anybody knows any color profiles for gnome terminal? | 01:08 |
| JeffJassky_ | obengdako: that's showing my available startup disks | 01:08 |
| coolwhipdefuser | Pentium3: Is your computer/touchpad really hot when that starts happening? some do that when overheated, as they cannot "feel" your input | 01:08 |
| lduros | something that could be downloaded or reproduced easily? | 01:08 |
| ajsie | obengdako: i have to know what commands to use .. not very familiar with linux =) | 01:08 |
| melon | vocx, just a though why shouldn't't I just reinstall;l python 2.6.5 *pyGTK through package manager? | 01:08 |
| vocx | melon, can you access the package manager now? | 01:08 |
| trojan | maheanuu, sound like association files to the right software etc | 01:08 |
| mobasher | melon=>> python 2.6 usually comes installed | 01:09 |
| melon | vocx, yes | 01:09 |
| pepee | no one is getting a frozen system after some hours? | 01:09 |
| Cloacker | what is the location of the mount options in ubuntu. Hint: I don't not mean /etc/fstab! | 01:09 |
| obengdako | ajsie what linux version are you using are you in gnome? | 01:09 |
| Cloacker | what is the location of the mount options in ubuntu. Hint: I do not mean /etc/fstab! | 01:09 |
| melon | vocx, just tried yet I do not know if it will let me install them yet though | 01:09 |
| Cloacker | what is the location of the mount options in ubuntu 10.10. Hint: I do not mean /etc/fstab! | 01:09 |
| ajsie | obengdako: no .. ubuntu server 10.10 | 01:09 |
| ajsie | no gnome | 01:09 |
| trojan | any1 use water cooling?? mainly need to control fan// | 01:09 |
| cablop | ajsie if the other user is administrator you can use sudo -i... at least in ubuntu 10.04 you can | 01:09 |
| === th0r1 is now known as th0r | ||
| Pentium3 | coolwhipdefuser: no, just booted it. | 01:09 |
| durt | Cloacker, /etc/mtab | 01:09 |
| vocx | melon, I feel there is something missing. There is no other python in your path, but when you can from the terminal, it still behaves weird. | 01:09 |
| melon | mobasher, yes I know we are trying to get my python to look at 2.6.5 not 2.7 (which I installed from source) | 01:10 |
| mobasher | melon=>> ohh ok | 01:10 |
| sec2x | hello | 01:10 |
| zvacet | ajsie: do you want to add user to admin group | 01:10 |
| maheanuu | Trojan, I think the same, but I am not finding anything out of order, I knew that when I rid myself of the kernal that was in the Ubuntu Studio I would be in a world of hurt, but didn't know how much damage this was going to cause | 01:10 |
| ajsie | zvacet: yeah .. or log in as root instead | 01:10 |
| Cloacker | durt: Isn't /etc/mtab overwritten afte reboot? | 01:10 |
| obengdako | ajsie now it is clear | 01:10 |
| sec2x | how can i check if the wireless network i'm on is using tkip or aes? | 01:11 |
| ajsie | the problem is i can only log in as a regular user in Shellinabox | 01:11 |
| Pentium3 | I have tried cleaning it | 01:11 |

| vocx | melon, perhaps try "sudo rm /etc/alternatives/python" which was a result earlier. And then again "python -V" | 01:11 |
| ajsie | could someone guide me how to do it | 01:11 |
| zvacet | just a sec | 01:12 |
| durt | Cloaker, mount and other commands write to mtab. | 01:12 |
| bfinch | can someone lead me to the correct instructions for compiling using a XXX-1.debian.tar.gz, a XXX-1.dsc, and a XXX.orig.tar.gz ?? | 01:12 |
| cablop | ajsie you need an admin or root to be able to join you to admin group and also root group | 01:12 |
| GanonKiller | i cant stand using aptitude | 01:12 |
| jackie89 | Does anybody know why my computer freezes within ten minutes ever since i got my wireless setup? Has this happened to anybody else? I've checked the linux forums and haven't really found anything, though my computer freezes even faster when i try to use the internet | 01:12 |
| ajsie | cablop: yeah i have a root acccess in the other shell | 01:12 |
| ajsie | so i can do root stuff | 01:12 |
| vocx | melon, if you want to use locate, use "sudo updatedb" and then "locate python" | 01:12 |
| ajsie | so what shuold i do? | 01:12 |
| maheanuu | I am trying to get away from the studio packaghe trojan.... That was the reason for my upgrade | 01:12 |
| Megabyte | Can anyone help me exporting my key to launchpad, please? | 01:12 |
| obengdako | ajsie i think all they are saying is login as root then add the said user to the root and sudo group | 01:13 |
| cablop | wait if you have another root... then why d youneed that user to be admin too? | 01:13 |
| cablop | lol | 01:13 |
| trojan | ooooohh,, | 01:13 |
| melon | vocx, python -V returned: "Python 2.6.6" =D | 01:13 |
| ajsie | obengdako: yeah .. could you be more specific? | 01:13 |
| maheanuu | I found that the studio package was well above my knowledge level at this time and was trying to get back to normal | 01:13 |
| dborba | having a bit of problem with gnome-do after 10.10 upgrade. before i used to be able to run "gksu synaptic" & get synaptic. now it does nothing & i have to start gksu & then start synaptic from it. anyone know how i might be able to fix that? | 01:13 |
| bfinch | maybe not ? | 01:13 |
| ajsie | im not familiar with linux | 01:13 |
| cablop | ajsie i'm not an avid shell user... so dunno the commands... but google for group and user management in LINUX and you get how | 01:13 |
| vocx | melon, after or before "rm /etc/alternatives/python" | 01:13 |
| ascheel | Quick question: Is wubi a VM? How does it handle connecting to existing ext* drives? | 01:13 |
| onryo | Anybody know how to Tor X-chat? | 01:13 |
| zvacet | ajsie, sudo -i and you wil be root then adduser<username> admin | 01:13 |
| obengdako | are you in terminal now? | 01:13 |
| melon | vocx, after | 01:14 |
| Cloacker | durt: Ok, i searching for a not temporary location. Something like fstab but this isn't anymore used by Ubuntu. Ubuntu does somehow know how to mount by clicking with the mouse on the drive symbols. And that's the place where i need to change something | 01:14 |
| ajsie | zvacet: sudo -i doesnt work .. it says "user not in sudoers file" | 01:14 |
| trojan | re-install the basic ubuntu,, and remove studio.. (risky tho,, | 01:14 |
| zvacet | ajsie, of course <username> is your username | 01:14 |
| ajsie | but i can add the user from the root shell i guess | 01:14 |
| cablop | ascheel: simple, it is not a VM, just the system is in a virtual unit... a block device | 01:14 |
| obengdako | ajsie so just do all as root | 01:14 |
| vocx | melon, so. We are good, I guess. Are your programs messed up? | 01:14 |
| ajsie | zvacet: i already have the user | 01:14 |
| bfinch | nm again..... i guess this channel is not a really good place for such questions... my fault... | 01:14 |
| bfinch | see ya | 01:14 |
| obengdako | login then root the passwd then do the said commands | 01:14 |
| zvacet | ajsie, then try it | 01:14 |
| ajsie | is there a way to change the privelies? | 01:14 |
| ajsie | on an existing account | 01:15 |

| maheanuu | i have been totally off of windows for over 6 months, and am enjoying the new OS, but the learning curve is quite steep especially when you have no one within a 150 mile radius to talk to about Linux | 01:15 |
| durt | Cloaker, I was unaware that fstab was no longer used where did you read/hear that? | 01:15 |
| onryo | You having problems with VMware with the new kernel 2.6.35? | 01:15 |
| === TheDreamer is now known as Youri | ||
| obengdako | yes that's exactly what we're saying | 01:15 |
| jackie89 | Hiya, majnoon, Hufspa, and Sickler. :] | 01:15 |
| Sickler | can someone help me change windows to the default grub boot | 01:15 |
| jackie89 | Hiya, n0a1ias. | 01:15 |
| maheanuu | My closest Linux user is in Papeete and he doesn't speak english | 01:15 |
| ascheel | cablop: so if I want a true Linux environment, I need to run a VM or just dual-boot? | 01:15 |
| obengdako | add to an existing user | 01:15 |
| trojan | ajsie, use the users and groups// in / administration | 01:15 |
| Cloacker | durt: fstab is a static configuration, it doesn'T work very well with ubuntus new dynamic way of mounting partitions. | 01:15 |
| bsmith093 | can i mount the ubuntu iso from within a currently running partiton and install it to another partition | 01:15 |
| zvacet | ajsie, you want existing account to be your admin ? | 01:15 |
| vocx | maheanuu, lol, are you in the north pole? | 01:16 |
| melon | vocx, well it let me open ubuntu software center let me chack to see if it will install | 01:16 |
| jackie89 | Hiya, local_. :] | 01:16 |
| onryo | VMware cant deal with the new kernel but there is a patch that will fix that. | 01:16 |
| ajsie | zvacet: i have an existing account that is not admin , want it to be admin | 01:16 |
| maheanuu | an my french is not bad for local talk but is not up to the technicial level | 01:16 |
| cablop | ascheel: wubi is dual boot | 01:16 |
| maheanuu | No In Tahiti | 01:16 |
| ascheel | cablop: so wubi doesn't run INSIDE of Windows? | 01:16 |
| zvacet | adduser username admin | 01:16 |
| trojan | ajsie, u will need to admin password | 01:16 |
| cablop | ascheel: no, it does not | 01:16 |
| ascheel | cablop: thanks. :) YOu've answered my questions well! | 01:16 |
| jackie89 | Does anybody else have an issue with ubuntu where you set up the wireless connection, then the day after your mouse begins to stop working and your screen freezes, no matter how many times you reboot or try to restore the system via grub menu? | 01:16 |
| onryo | The name of the patch is vsock_fix_2.6.35.sh | 01:17 |
| cablop | ascheel: if you want to run both use virtualbox | 01:17 |
| zvacet | trojan, he can add password later | 01:17 |
| maheanuu | I am the only person in the leeward isles who is running linux | 01:17 |
| Cloacker | durt: if i edit my fstab the old way, like setting umask things, all this worls, but i can't mount or unmount the drive by clicking the drive symbol anymore. But the latter is very helpful with fat partitions and multiuser environment | 01:17 |
| ascheel | cablop: doing so. I thought wubi was another vm type solution, that's all | 01:17 |
| onryo | for VMware on 10.10 or any 2.6.35 sys | 01:17 |
| trojan | not if he is in a basic A/C | 01:17 |
| melon | vocx, everything seems to be working I just have to test to Updates and then it will be fixed =D | 01:17 |
| n0a1ias | hey im new to backtrack, just got networking up for the first time (not in root) (nothing on computer, so don't even try to hack me) and trying to enable multiple monitors | 01:17 |

| jackie89 | Hiya, marc. :] | 01:17 |
| onryo | I am in a vm right now =) | 01:17 |
| cablop | ascheel: depending in how powerful is your machine and what is your main focus, use either lin inside win or win inside lin... second is nice except if you need graphic design or games | 01:17 |
| === marc is now known as Guest65895 | ||
| n0a1ias | but i cant find it? | 01:18 |
| Sickler | can someone help me change windows to the default grub boot | 01:18 |

| vocx | melon, according to my logs, you own me money!!! | 01:19 |
| zvacet | jackie89, just ask | 01:19 |
| onryo | Just google my name Onryo and BackTrack | 01:19 |
| cablop | ascheel: if you use virtualbox and have an spare disk you can install the linux in a real disk... ah, stop there, except if you use latest vista sp or win7... | 01:19 |
| melon | vocx if I may ask though, how did we fix it? There was someone on the forums that had the same issue as myself and I would like to post how to fix it, or I can link you | 01:19 |
| ascheel | cablop: Win7, so I'm ok with that. | 01:19 |
| melon | vocx, put it on my tab =D | 01:19 |

| [thor] | isn't it more of a rodent? | 01:21 |
| jackie89 | zvacet - i feel a little embarassed... i don't know much about anything, and even after wonderful people here yesterday night helped me get wireless connection after a year of not knowing how to do it, my computer is still acting up. | 01:21 |
| onryo | You need the wifi to work in BackTrack /etc/init.d/wicd/ start | 01:21 |
| vocx | melon, I recall in the programming subforum, there may be a guide somewhere buried there, explaining how to setup different versions of Python without borking your system. Basically, we removed the "links", so the original python takes precedence. | 01:21 |
| maheanuu | I am wondering if I should go back to 9.04 then do all the upgrades? | 01:21 |
| onryo | Then go into the menu and find the wicd gui | 01:22 |
| onryo | and you will see your wifi | 01:22 |
| irule | is videchat with a windows/msn messenger using friend still a thing of science fiction? :s | 01:22 |

| zvacet | jackie89, sorry I don´t know anything about wireless because I don´t have one | 01:22 |
| ajsie | yeah | 01:22 |
| ajsie | now it worked | 01:22 |
| GanonKiller | irule: no | 01:22 |
| cablop | ascheel: cygwin is not a hack, is a kernel compiled to run inside windows, has a lot of packages, more likely the redhat way... andlinux is a full ubuntu running on top of a colinux kernel, colinux kernel is a linux kernel compiled to run as a windows service... so guess... | 01:22 |
| ajsie | had to run "visudo" | 01:22 |
| irule | how? | 01:22 |
| zvacet | ajsie, good | 01:22 |
| ajsie | i think ubuntu 10.10 has added strict root security | 01:22 |
| onryo | it is not bad. | 01:23 |
| ajsie | in 10.4 i didnt have to do this | 01:23 |
| psusi | cablop, no, it isn't a kernel. It is a set of libraries that emulate posix on windows... like the inverse of wine | 01:23 |
| jackie89 | zvacet - It's okay. Thank you very much anyhow. :] Do you know if there's a channel on here that can help me though? I don't want to try anybody's patience. | 01:23 |
| GanonKiller | i updated from 10.04 | 01:23 |
| irule | GanonKiller msn what client works? | 01:23 |
| cablop | nope psusi, go chek their own page | 01:23 |
| tech_ | jackie what do you need help with? | 01:23 |
| ajsie | is it good to always be root? | 01:23 |
| durt | Cloacker, errr sorry no, I've never used fstab except for nfs mounts. | 01:23 |
| GanonKiller | irule... use GYachE | 01:23 |
| zvacet | jackie89, you are on the right place just be patient and someone will help you | 01:23 |
| cablop | i hate ubuntu restricting the root access the windows way | 01:23 |

| obengdako | ajsie thanks for the feedback and knowledge and never knew of visudo but now i do | 01:24 |
| onryo | The reason your VM is not working is | 01:24 |
| onryo | The structure element sk->sk_sleep has been replaced in 2.6.35 with a function call, sk_sleep(sk). So to fix VMCI sockets, we have to patch the vsock.tar tarball to use the new kernel syntax for sk_sleep. | 01:24 |
| tech_ | did you have enough boot space when you installed ubuntu? | 01:24 |
| dan_ | #ubuntubrasil-orkut | 01:24 |
| vocx | melon, It is probable that you need to do something like "./configure --prefix=/usr/local --suffix=2.7" or something, before compiling and installing. That should give you a separate python, under a different name, so it doesn't clash with the standard python. | 01:24 |
| tech_ | or have you dule booted it | 01:24 |
| silentz0r | hello, I have a problem with compositing on Kubuntu 10.10 | 01:24 |
| ajsie | obengdako: yeah .. play with the shell its the beauty of ubuntu | 01:24 |
| psusi | cablop, what about it do you think contradicts what I said? | 01:24 |
| Cloacker | durt: ok. i will search on another place | 01:24 |
| aubrey616 | Anyone experience problems with Atheros Wireless, driver ath9k ? | 01:25 |
| jackie89 | tech_ : I never downloaded it, the computer came with linux ubuntu on it. | 01:25 |
| tech_ | hmm | 01:25 |
| silentz0r | I am using nvidia geforce GT 320M Driver version 260.19.06. Basically I cannot enable/disable desktop effects, and when i mouseover the window manipulation buttons they start "flickering" between the actual button and my desktop | 01:25 |
| cablop | that you've said andlinux does not use a kernel but libraries and so on | 01:25 |
| cablop | anyway lol | 01:25 |
| GanonKiller | aubrey616: search for atheros in synaptic | 01:25 |
| tech_ | have you tryed deleted the ubuntu os on there and re installing? | 01:25 |
| Dulak | ajsie: use sudo -i to get a root shell, do stuff, then drop back to a normal user. If you login as root all the time you are bound to run the wrong command that as a normal user wouldn't hose your system but because you were root, you get to reinstall and lost your data to boot. | 01:25 |
| cablop | well andlinux seems to be abandoned | 01:25 |
| psusi | cablop, no, I said nothing about Linux... I said cygwin does not have a kernel.. it is a library that runs on windows, which has its own kernel | 01:26 |
| jackie89 | tech_ : I have no idea how to do that, could you walk me through it? | 01:26 |
| n0a1ias | why are all the default website bookmarks in spanish | 01:26 |
| onryo | The structure element sk->sk_sleep has been replaced in 2.6.35 with a function call, sk_sleep(sk). So to fix VMCI sockets, we have to patch | 01:26 |
| tech_ | yeah private me | 01:26 |
| aubrey616 | GanonKiller, ok | 01:26 |
| ajsie | Dulak: what is the difference between sudo -i and sudo su? | 01:26 |

| melon | vocx ah okay, later I will try that in a VM | 01:26 |
| jackie89 | tech_ : Thanks. :] | 01:26 |
| cablop | psusi ah, right, but a full cygwin is a full linux | 01:26 |
| onryo | You need to patch the VM | 01:26 |
| zvacet | ajsie, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113282 | 01:27 |
| ezhangin | anyone else having bluetooth issues in 10.10? | 01:27 |
| onryo | both VMware, Xen and V.box all have this prob. | 01:27 |
| psusi | cablop, no... Linux is a kernel that implements posix apis... cygwin emulates posix apis on top of windows so you can compile posix applications to run on windows | 01:27 |
| obengdako | tech_ i don't think that would be a good solution reinstalling the whole system | 01:27 |
| aubrey616 | GanonKiller, no drivers for my atheros in synaptic, its a kernel thing i think | 01:27 |
| GanonKiller | ezhangin.. no | 01:27 |
| lduros | is there a way to get the width and height of a png image from the shell? | 01:27 |
| ajsie | love this channel .. so much traffic =) | 01:27 |
| aubrey616 | ganadist, lsmodule shows ath9k | 01:27 |
| ajsie | must be the biggest linux channel | 01:27 |
| aubrey616 | GanonKiller, i meant | 01:27 |
| dan_ | oi | 01:27 |
| Dulak | ajsie: one is correct, one is not. sudo -i gives you an interactive root shell, sudo su gives you 2 shells, 1 for sudo, one for su | 01:27 |
| dan_ | alguem me ajuda? | 01:27 |
| onryo | try lsmod | 01:27 |
| cablop | psusi... ammm, right... but i downloaded a big cygwin distro years ago... i think cygwin reffers to both things | 01:27 |
| silentz0r | back, i dc'd | 01:28 |
| psusi | cablop, cygwin refers to www.cygwin.com | 01:28 |
| ezhangin | in 10.04 I had a apple mouse/keyboard (don't ask lol they were free) synced just fine, but in 10.10 as soon as one of them attempts to connect the bluetooth panel icon disappears (?!?) and neither the mouse or keyboard work | 01:28 |
| Dulak | ajsie: also you get the proper login environment for root when you do sudo -i | 01:28 |
| silentz0r | please paste your answer if you replied to me! | 01:28 |
| ajsie | Dulak: proper login env? | 01:28 |
| dan_ | http://www.scriptkitties.com/tclplugin/ | 01:28 |
| onryo | If your are using BackTrack is is very easy to see your driver just type "airmon" | 01:29 |
| Dulak | ajsie: yes the environment will be setup as if you had logged in as root, rather than just giving you root with your normal user environment like su would | 01:29 |
| silentz0r | anyone? | 01:29 |
| onryo | yeah whats up silentz0r | 01:30 |
| aubrey616 | GanonKiller, any other ideas for solving my Atheros wireless problems ? | 01:30 |
| silentz0r | onryo: I have a problem with desktop effects | 01:30 |
| onryo | silentz0r can you tell me the OS and the prob? | 01:31 |
| silentz0r | using Nvidia Gefore GT320 M 260.19.06, Kubuntu 10.10 | 01:31 |
| GanonKiller | aubrey... usually modprobe works | 01:31 |
| silentz0r | basically no desktop effects work, plus the window borders act a bit funny | 01:31 |
| Barridus | is Gwibber totally broken in Maverick for Twitter, or is it just me | 01:31 |
| silentz0r | when i move windows or mouseover the manipulation buttons (maximize, minimize and close), they flicker | 01:31 |
| ajsie | Dulak: oh I see | 01:31 |
| onryo | silentzor nice card for the money with cuda to sport | 01:31 |
| ajsie | good point! | 01:31 |
| aubrey616 | GanonKiller, well, modprobe doesnt help if the driver (module) is corrupt/broken | 01:31 |

| dutt | matts45acp: it helps if you write what the actual problem is | 01:32 |
| onryo | silentz0r what you might want to do is use sudo apt-add-respository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 01:33 |
| silentz0r | onryo: I can also see a splash screen when i turn on my laptop | 01:33 |
| ezhangin | you would think my mouse/keyboard would work from version to version | 01:33 |
| ezhangin | HTPCs are no fun with wired keyboards | 01:33 |
| cablop | silentz0r: check if you are using a propietary driver for your pc, install compiz fusion icon, open it, right click it and mark unmark loose binding or indirect rendering, but check before if your graphic card support them | 01:33 |
| onryo | silentzor you are using the bleeding edge drivers. You are going to need the newer x.server | 01:33 |
| GanonKiller | aubrey616: try looking at http://madwifi.org | 01:34 |
| silentz0r | onryo btw i am using kubuntu, not ubuntu | 01:34 |

| xangua | onryo: why use a non-native torrent app if threre are a lot for linux¿ | 02:00 |
| Dulak | Kevin147: it was worth a shot, no idea how to fix it, for me it fixed itself with the bios update. | 02:00 |
| === Nicolas is now known as S | ||
| Kevin147 | Dulak: Oh ok :/. I wish I had a way | 02:00 |
| silentz0r | onryo: still need your help mate with the x.server, if possible | 02:00 |
| xangua | _KAaMiLa_: download it, double clic | 02:00 |

| onryo | somebody asked about kexec ppc | 02:01 |
| Slipknot6669 | Anyone? How do I get the oss drivers and disable alsa drivers? | 02:01 |
| onryo | what was the Q? | 02:01 |
| romulusbanda | yeah, onryo, its me | 02:01 |
| Dulak | xangua: utorrent is the best client you can get, truly it's amazing software, even if it is written for a crappy OS | 02:01 |
| onryo | what do you need to know? | 02:01 |
| ilovefairuz | Maahes: wrong syntax again, let's assume you want to check the sizes of the files in the folder /home/username/stuff then do: cd /home/username/stuff; df -a | sort -nr | 02:01 |
| romulusbanda | hwo do I build kexec with uImage support | 02:02 |
| romulusbanda | I think probably needs liz support | 02:02 |

| Moxie_Marlinspik | silentz0r you are using the x-swat now and still have a problem? Are you using the 260 Nvidia drivers? | 02:07 |
| Maahes_ | also....why are libraries kept in /var/ anyways? I have 300mb in var and most of it is /var/lib | 02:07 |
| Moxie_Marlinspik | or the 256? | 02:07 |
| silentz0r | i was using 260 before when i checked, let me recheck now | 02:07 |

| silentz0r | And as i said, when i move windows around or mouseover the window manipulation buttons, they flicker | 02:09 |
| silentz0r | plus, when i browse System Settings -> Desktop Effects, everything is grey and i can't enable Desktop Effects | 02:10 |

| Onryo | silentz0r are you in a VM? | 02:10 |
| vocx | melon, yes! I remember now. The trick was to use "make altinstall" like alternative install instead of just "make install" See here: http://www.python-forum.org/pythonforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10977 First post is informative, more info in that same thread, and last post shows altinstall | 02:10 |
| silentz0r | onryo: nope | 02:10 |
| melon | vocx, does this work for other programs as well? | 02:11 |
| Wh1TEhAT | 10.3 oR ?? | 02:11 |
| Chaos2358 | hey vocx you in here? | 02:11 |
| Onryo | silentzor thinking.... hmmmm you do have kernel 2.6.35 right? | 02:11 |
| MonthOLDpickle | Hey the best way to install wine is sudo apt-get install wine | 02:11 |
| Onryo | uname -a | 02:12 |
| MonthOLDpickle | correct? | 02:12 |
| xangua | yes MonthOLDpickle | 02:12 |
| silentz0r | yep | 02:12 |
| ilovefairuz | MonthOLDpickle: there's no "best" way, it's the only way, unless you compile from source | 02:12 |
| Onryo | silentz0r what card does it say you have if you do a sudo lshw | 02:13 |
| vocx | melon, no, "make" is not magic, it depends on a file called "Makefile". Inspecting this file tells you about its options, but is hard to "read" or understand for newbies. | 02:13 |
| silentz0r | Onryo: The correct graphics card appears | 02:14 |
| Onryo | silentzor and your kernel ? | 02:14 |
| Onryo | what ver is it ? | 02:15 |
| Onryo | Just type uname -a | 02:15 |
| silentz0r | Onryo: I did, it's 2.6.35-22 | 02:15 |
| MonthOLDpickle | now how to I use wine? | 02:15 |
| Kubuntu-KDE | hi all | 02:15 |
| Kubuntu-KDE | i have a problem with kubuntu 10.10 | 02:15 |

| Onryo | Now this is weird... | 02:15 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | Kubuntu-KDE | 02:15 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu-KDE: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:15 |
| melon | vocx, I believe that just by poking around them some times. But couldn't you just ctrl-F and look for it? | 02:16 |
| ilovefairuz | MonthOLDpickle: wine filename.exe | 02:16 |
| silentz0r | Onryo: I am using KDE (Kubuntu), not gnome, just FYI | 02:16 |

| indystorm | hi all | 02:17 |
| robd | Hey guys | 02:17 |

| silentz0r | Onryo: Just compizconfig-settings-manager? Not all of compiz? | 02:18 |
| Kubuntu-KDE | what should i do? | 02:18 |
| ilovefairuz | robd: i'm good, thank you, please join #ubuntu-offtopic for side discussions | 02:18 |
| vocx | melon, yes, although, sometimes, a "rule" such as "altinstall" could be just a fictitious rule to call other rules under the hood, so it gets complicated. But sure, inspect other Makefiles, the more you learn the better. | 02:18 |
| Onryo | Well compiz might be a good idea too lol | 02:18 |

| TeruFSX | wabz get used to it | 02:35 |

| TeruFSX | are they asking for keyring access? | 02:38 |

| ilovefairuz | wabz: wait until ** | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Cityscape: you could alwyas compile from source I guess. also. | 02:39 |

| proberos | are people using this system for Freedom ? they spend all their life in front of computer to understand the system... what a freedom... | 02:40 |
| TeruFSX | proberos are they asking for your keyring password? | 02:40 |
| speckmade | I got a problem with the installation of the proprietary firmware-shit for a Broadcom b43 wifi card here: the computer in question has no internet connection, so I downloaded necessary stuff on another and copied it over. The installation from that worked out fine - till the firmware installer tries to download an archive from openwrt.org - where he is obviously bound to fail. I downloaded the archive in question but it is getting ignored so fa | 02:40 |
| proberos | admin password... | 02:40 |
| ilovefairuz | proberos: good luck somewhere else then | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Demand a refund. :) | 02:41 |
| TeruFSX | proberos does it say what application is asking for it? | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen the keyring password dialog pop up from time to time. but never the admin password... | 02:42 |
| proberos | for example package manager | 02:42 |
| coolwhipdefuser | proberos: you can change the amount of time that sudo elevates your privileges | 02:42 |
| unsober | any xchat users here? | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | proberos: package manager will want the admin users password yes.. that makes sence. | 02:42 |
| TeruFSX | proberos but this occurs basically nonstop, correct | 02:43 |
| Maahes_ | haha, running updates will remove all the rest of the space I have on the thumb drive | 02:43 |
| Stevethepirate | No cars go. | 02:43 |
| Stevethepirate | Whoops, wrong window. | 02:43 |
| ilovefairuz | proberos: that's called security, unless you want any browser exploit to be able to install software on your machine | 02:43 |
| proberos | TeruFSX: that doesnt occur nonstop, ı dont memorise it all most of actions require password | 02:44 |
| TeruFSX | so basically your issue is that it asks you for the password when you try to install updates | 02:44 |
| TeruFSX | and you can't memorize it? | 02:45 |
| TeruFSX | proberos do you know your password? | 02:45 |
| proberos | yes | 02:46 |
| TeruFSX | is it overly long? | 02:46 |
| proberos | I shortened it | 02:46 |
| TeruFSX | okay | 02:46 |
| TeruFSX | so what OS did you use before ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| proberos | windows 7 | 02:47 |
| Nautilus | anyone know where I can change the 8M php/http upload limit? | 02:47 |
| TeruFSX | ah, okay | 02:47 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: php.ini? | 02:47 |
| arex\ | /etc/php.ini | 02:47 |
| TeruFSX | on ubuntu you have to enter your password basically for anything that would trigger UAC under 7 | 02:47 |
| Nautilus | arex\: ah in etc, thanks | 02:47 |
| TeruFSX | it's just a bit of a design decision | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Then ya got the apps that use a 'unlock' button that let you view settings.. but only enter the pass to change them. Some older apps require to be started with 'root' rights. | 02:48 |
| blakkheim | you can add exceptions so you don't have to type the pw as much | 02:48 |
| proberos | what is UAC ? | 02:48 |
| Nautilus | arex\: hm, is there not one by default? | 02:49 |
| xenogia | just wondering is there anyway to make the update manager automatically pop up after a sudo apt-get update? | 02:49 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: yes | 02:49 |
| TeruFSX | proberos when doing some things, windows 7 normally asks for your permission | 02:49 |
| TeruFSX | it's possible to turn it off though | 02:49 |
| Nautilus | arex\: yes, there is no php.ini by default? <g> | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | xenogia: Ive seen it pop up automatically here befor. But it may be somthing related to the update manager only checking every so often for updated | 02:49 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: there should be one :P | 02:49 |
| TeruFSX | ubuntu and Windows 7 basically would ask for permission for the same things | 02:49 |
| Nautilus | ah ok, hm | 02:49 |
| xenogia | Dr_Willis: That is what I thought. Just wish I could figure out how.. hahaha | 02:50 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: check /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | xenogia: you could just make a script that does 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and not even need update manager. | 02:50 |
| proberos | thats right but it doesnt want you to enter your password you just click yes and it continues | 02:50 |
| Nautilus | arex\: aha! thanks | 02:50 |
| TeruFSX | yes I know | 02:50 |
| xenogia | TeruFSX: The only way I could think of getting around it is to be a root user all the time which is dangerous | 02:51 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: np, anything to avoid working on this buttfucking javascript application | 02:51 |
| TeruFSX | it's just that Ubuntu, like Mac OS X, asks for your password | 02:51 |
| blakkheim | like mac os x? how? | 02:51 |
| quiescens | usually i only find myself entering a password when I have locked the screen or when I install things, and its not like I install new things every day | 02:51 |
| TeruFSX | stuff requiring admin permissions in Mac OS X will ask for a password | 02:51 |
| TeruFSX | and updates always do at the very least | 02:52 |
| blakkheim | TeruFSX: updates don't always, actually | 02:52 |
| blakkheim | it's fairly rare to need to enter your admin pw for updates on os x | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall there being a way to auto-update in ubuntu. but never use the feature. | 02:52 |
| vocx | melon, good luck. See you. Your name makes me hungry. | 02:52 |
| proberos | okay, then second question, I want to use linux and stay Capitalist is it possible ? | 02:52 |
| proberos | : ) | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | proberos: be a bit more specific. | 02:53 |
| lanparty | in need of good soft to convert mp4,wmv,avi to dvd | 02:53 |
| melon | vocx, lol Okay cya later | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | lanparty: to make dvd 'video' disks from video files. i tend to use devede | 02:53 |
| proberos | nothing, I cancelled the login screen Thats nice thanks | 02:53 |
| proberos | good bye | 02:53 |
| jags | hi, I accidentally changed my compiz from loose binding to indirect rendering, I can only login in gnome-safemode, how do I change it back? | 02:54 |
| lanparty | Dr_Willis - i just try install and unable to find package | 02:54 |
| jags | I only see the option to change it in the fusion-icon but I can't load that in gnome-safemode | 02:54 |
| Nautilus | arex\: I see "post_max_size = 8M" and "upload_max_filesize = 16M". My UI is showing 8M max, though looking at that I would think it would be 16. Do I change the former one, both? I want probably 32M | 02:54 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: when you say that your UI is showing 8M max, what are you referring to? | 02:55 |
| speckmade | can somebody help with firmware installation for a b43 Broadcom wifi card? | 02:55 |
| lanparty | should i follow this tuto -> http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-convert-AVI-to-DVD-54418.shtml | 02:55 |
| Nautilus | arex\: drupal (CMS) | 02:56 |
| blakkheim | speckmade: it might be easier just to get a better wifi card | 02:56 |
| arex\ | Nautilus: Try changing 8M to 32M and see if that is updated in Drupal :) | 02:56 |
| arex\ | (remember to restart apache) | 02:56 |
| Nautilus | do i restart apache? oh ok ;) | 02:56 |
| arex\ | :D | 02:56 |
| jags | I had alot of trouble, with my b43 even though I found the correct firmware it was blacklisted initially, so I had to change that and it worked fine | 02:56 |
| Dulak | he's psychic! | 02:57 |
| speckmade | blakkheim: oh - but it's just making the firmware installer find a file... | 02:57 |
| arex\ | if i were psychic i wouldn't be working on this horrible application | 02:57 |
| speckmade | blakkheim: and I'm quite satisfied with a similar card, I must say... | 02:57 |
| speckmade | blakkheim: and I don't want to tell my friend to buy a new card to install Ubuntu... | 02:58 |
| speckmade | blakkheim: when it's just that file... | 02:59 |

| Aer | In my Wine config it shows me it is version 1.1.42 but i know the latest stable release is 1.2 the problem is my ubuntu update doesnt give me the option to upgrade wine to 1.2 | 03:02 |
| Gentoon | How can I make Thunderbird Integrated into the notifier instead of evolution (Garbage) | 03:02 |
| Gentoon | ? | 03:02 |
| Aer | and if i use "sudo "sudo apt-get install wine1.2" i get "wine1.2 is already the newest version." but the wine iim using is 1.1.42 any help on how to solve this please ? :( | 03:03 |
| blakkheim | Aer: ubuntu uses old packages | 03:03 |
| unsober | heres a question; since mac is a unix based system, is it as powerful as linux? | 03:03 |
| UnderSampled | Hello | 03:03 |
| Aer | how do i get ubuntu to update to the newer ones ? | 03:03 |
| blakkheim | unsober: depends on what you need it to do, i would say yes | 03:03 |
| TeruFSX | Aer go to www.winehq.com | 03:03 |
| UnderSampled | my legacy grub installation is corrupted | 03:03 |
| Aer | i did | 03:03 |
| TeruFSX | and download the Ubuntu packages given there | 03:03 |
| blakkheim | Aer: you have to compile it yourself or find a deb | 03:03 |
| Gentoon | Also, is it a big problem to do sudo passwd and use a root login in a terminal for administrative tasks instead of using sudo? | 03:03 |
| TeruFSX | Aer install wine1.3 | 03:03 |
| Aer | im not sure what to do in though im new to linux | 03:03 |
| Aer | i dotn want 1.3 its beta | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Aer: theres ppa's for newer wines also. | 03:04 |
| Aer | i want the stable 1.2 | 03:04 |

| TeruFSX | Try just installing wine, Aer | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Aer: why does it really matter? | 03:04 |
| Gentoon | blakkheim: Why? | 03:04 |
| Dulak | Gentoon: sudo -i gives you a root shell without having to set a root password | 03:04 |
| Aer | because newer wine has bug fixes | 03:04 |
| blakkheim | Gentoon: they do things the ubuntu way, not the linux way. i try to help people who ask about that specific issue and i get kicked | 03:04 |
| Dulak | Gentoon: there is no reason to unlock root for login, it's just an attack vector that you don't need | 03:04 |
| Aer | if i uninstall wine and reinstall a new one will my windows programs i installed still be there and work with newer wine ? | 03:05 |
| Aer | or will i have to reinstall them all ? | 03:05 |
| TeruFSX | Aer they should | 03:05 |

| Dulak | Gentoon: then yer dumb | 03:05 |
| Aer | if i manually install the new 1.2 version though will it be added into the ubuntu updater and offer me to upgrade to 1.3 when its finished beta and becomes stable ? | 03:05 |
| Gentoon | yer? | 03:05 |
| unsober | Java is a pain in the behind to install in Ubuntu. There's guides online. Google "java install ubuntu 10.04" | 03:05 |
| blakkheim | Aer: no | 03:05 |
| Aer | hmm :( | 03:06 |
| blakkheim | Aer: if you want up to date packages, ubuntu isn't the right distro | 03:06 |
| Aer | how can i make my ubuntu updater always offer me the latest stable release of wine | 03:06 |
| Gentoon | Anyways, unlocking the root account does not break anything right? | 03:06 |

| Licuadora | Is htere a way to burn a LiveCd ISO with all the packages upgraded? | 03:07 |
| blakkheim | Licuadora: try the minimal iso | 03:08 |
| Aer | TeruFSX did you get 1.2.1 using ubuntu update manager or did you install it yourself ? | 03:08 |
| Gentoon | Dulak: That is not what I am asking? It is my computer.. I can do whatever I wish with it (besides violate the GPL) I am asking if unlocking the root account will break anything. | 03:08 |

| Aer | got no idea though, im still new to this to lol | 03:25 |
| EUdirektivet | dude my 65 year old dad, taught me to use MS-DOS back in the days, but this linux stuff is quite harder | 03:26 |
| pepone | hi, were can i set LD_LIBRARY_PATH | 03:26 |
| mayenife | hey all | 03:26 |
| mayenife | quick ? | 03:26 |
| EUdirektivet | hi2u | 03:26 |
| Aer | yeah it is lol | 03:26 |
| ilovefairuz | pepone: you shouldn't but it's in ~/.profile | 03:26 |
| maco | EUdirektivet: because unlike dos its actually useful ;-) | 03:26 |
| Dulak | EUdirektivet: it's just different, it takes more upfront to learn but once you do it's incredibly stable. | 03:27 |
| mayenife | how do you move the launcher to the bottom in 10.10? | 03:27 |
| Aer | i mean i went to college and uni doing computer courses... all on windows i start with linux... im a freaking nub xD | 03:27 |
| maco | it has multitasking! and multiple users! | 03:27 |
| FalseLobster | Specifically, I'm currently trying to reinstall the ATI drivers for my system and this is what I'm getting: http://pastebin.com/ySVZdNJi | 03:27 |
| pepone | ilovefairuz: i want to set it for apache , as i need it for a custom php extension | 03:27 |
| ilovefairuz | mayenife: did you try drag and drop? | 03:27 |
| mayenife | yes. | 03:27 |
| EUdirektivet | well, ms-dos was stable too, but then u had unix also with WOW networks support! :D | 03:27 |
| FalseLobster | ... anyone ? | 03:28 |
| Dulak | pepone: you'll have to set it for the apache user, not your normal user | 03:28 |
| EUdirektivet | could not get on the internets with dos ;) | 03:28 |
| maco | Aer: eh computer courses at schools seem to either be "how to use word" (if non-comp-sci) or "how to program in java" (if comp-sci)... they expect you to already know how to use whatever os you intend to use | 03:28 |
| mayenife | its not dragging | 03:28 |
| FalseLobster | maco: I think that depends on where you go, but that has some truth to it | 03:28 |
| ilovefairuz | pepone: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_env.html | 03:29 |
| pepone | ilovefairuz: there is not a place to set it for all user | 03:29 |
| maco | FalseLobster: yeah it might be s/java/pascal/ or s/java/cobol/ at some places :P | 03:29 |
| EUdirektivet | I was on a Java course but the taught us to use unix terminal the first week so we could stand a chance doing anything lolz | 03:29 |
| maco | EUdirektivet: the terminal should be pretty much the same on here then | 03:29 |
| EUdirektivet | we ran everything remotely then | 03:29 |
| Aer | hmm maybe mac | 03:29 |
| Aer | hmm maybe maco | 03:30 |
| ilovefairuz | pepone: /etc/profile | 03:30 |
| ilovefairuz | that's for all users | 03:30 |
| Aer | sorry it sent twice | 03:30 |
| pepone | ilovefairuz: thanks | 03:30 |
| Aer | i mean we did a bit on comp architecture etc of computers | 03:30 |
| Dulak | pepone: http://www.easysoft.com/support/kb/kb00636.html | 03:30 |
| Aer | but also we done servers and we had to know about using windows server etc | 03:30 |
| Dulak | pepone: you don't want to set it for every user, it could cause issues | 03:30 |
| maco | Aer: yeah, but comp arch (at least at my school) is about CPUs, not how to use an OS | 03:30 |
| rodrigo79 | cara, o que houve com esse maldito CU-buntu 10.10 que regrediu no suporte ao fakeraid ?? | 03:31 |
| maco | Aer: oh? was this an IT degree, not comp sci? there's no server requirement in my school | 03:31 |

| EUdirektivet | oh cool maco. do you learn how to program asm code directly to the processor then? | 03:31 |
| xangua | blakkheim: that's portuguese | 03:31 |
| xangua | i believe :S | 03:31 |

| maco | we have an /optional/ sysadmin class where the expectation is that you can use linux from the command line and just need to learn advanced topics (however most of the students know nothing, so it ends up being boring for students who meet the requirements) | 03:31 |

| unsober | what would be the best, easiest way to setup a webserver on Ubuntu? using LAMP? or setup each package individually? | 03:32 |

| FalseLobster | ATI 4850... it used to work fine (my sound also stopped working) | 03:34 |
| === riku_ is now known as rikulu | ||
| blakkheim | FalseLobster: ati has pretty bad linux support | 03:34 |
| FalseLobster | Yes, but it used to work fine | 03:34 |
| FalseLobster | It's a live usb, so I'm suspecting that when I booted to a different machine recently | 03:35 |
| Dulak | pepone: that's not exactly portable, but whatever works I suppose | 03:35 |
| FalseLobster | it got the drivers mixed up or something | 03:35 |
| FalseLobster | I've tried to reinstall the ATI driver | 03:35 |
| === GanonKiller is now known as Rikku | ||

| ilovefairuz | Ryen: that's not offtopic | 03:38 |
| jags | FalseLobster, don't use fglrx, the opensource driver is pretty good | 03:38 |
| FalseLobster | jags: which one is that? | 03:38 |
| Aer | does anyone know if i can do this. If ihave a program installed but i download the install file for the newer version. Can I just install the new version without removing the old version and it will just go over the previous version and i will have the new version working as it should ? | 03:38 |
| jags | FalseLobster, I'll find the latest ppa | 03:38 |
| Ryen | ilovefairuz: How is that a technical problem. He is polling. I can also say the 'poll' trigger on him. Please read the topic before commenting. | 03:38 |
| Dulak | Aer: is it a deb? | 03:39 |
| ilovefairuz | Aer: what exactly did you install? and usually newer versions of packages override the old ones, you'll need to reinstall them if so | 03:39 |
| ilovefairuz | Ryen: I know the topic pretty well, he's just asking for alternative WMs | 03:39 |
| Aer | yeah if its a .deb Dulak was wondering if i need to uninstall old version first | 03:39 |
| Aer | ilovefairuz, it was wine, i have my problem solved though i managed to get it to work in the update manager | 03:40 |
| misterB | Can anyone here tell me how to set default permissions on files uploaded to my ubuntu ftp server? | 03:40 |
| Aer | i was just wondering if it would work with the deb file without uninstalling | 03:40 |
| Dulak | Aer: nope you can just install it, but try like this first: dpkg -i --dry-run package.deb | 03:40 |
| Aer | ok thanks Dulak :) | 03:40 |
| Dulak | Aer: that will show you if there are any dependency problems, if it looks good drop the --dry-run and install for real | 03:40 |
| Aer | do you mind if i ask what the "--dry-run" is for ? or am i gonna have to google ? :P | 03:40 |
| Aer | ahh ok | 03:41 |
| Aer | so the dry run kinda tests it ? | 03:41 |
| ilovefairuz | Aer: you don't have to google, use 'man' | 03:41 |
| Dulak | Aer: it shows you what would happen if you install, without actually doing the final bits | 03:41 |
| Aer | ok thanks ilovefairuz :) | 03:41 |
| Aer | ohh nice Dulak, thats handy to know :D | 03:41 |
| FalseLobster | jags: so with the open source one I wouldn't need the Catalyst Control Center, either... ? | 03:41 |
| jags | no | 03:42 |
| jags | FalsAlarm, no* | 03:42 |
| EUdirektivet | yah aer im teaching ms-office, but sometimes VBA | 03:42 |
| Aer | nice :) | 03:42 |
| EUdirektivet | just found out i can do the same in open office :) | 03:42 |

| EUdirektivet | can program with same lang there yay | 03:42 |
| Aer | nice :D | 03:42 |
| hartkrisp | hi, have a problem installing, and i have determined it must be hardware related. i've tried installing via usb and cd, and also just installing via wubi inside windows. whenever i get the the gui, the screen is offset and overlapping(sorry, that is the best way i can describe it) i'm on an hp laptop, with the amd tl-60 and the 7150m graphics adapter. i've had ubuntu on this machine before, | 03:43 |
| hartkrisp | but i believe it was 9.04 | 03:43 |
| rodrigo79 | How do I install ubuntu 10.10 on a intel fakeraid partition? I can't get grub to boot it | 03:43 |
| jags | FalsAlarm, you'll want to completely uninstall fglrx if you have any packages, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 03:44 |
| jags | FalseLobster, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa* | 03:45 |
| step21 | hartkrisp, how have you dtermined this? actually that it worked in previous ubuntu versions or on windows is evidence it is not hardware related | 03:45 |
| FalseLobster | jags: I'm getting all these errors trying to remove the fglrx packages | 03:45 |
| jags | FalsAlarm, are you using synaptic? | 03:46 |
| misterB | Can anyone here tell me how to set default permissions on files uploaded to my ubuntu ftp server? | 03:46 |
| yariel | hello | 03:46 |
| hartkrisp | well, i shouldn't have said determined, this was just my conclusion based on atempts with both usb and cd installations. | 03:46 |
| jags | FalseLobster, are you using synaptic* | 03:46 |
| FalseLobster | jags: Should I be using that over the Ubuntu Software Center ? | 03:46 |
| jags | FalseLobster, either one | 03:46 |
| blakkheim | FalseLobster: use aptitude | 03:46 |
| a1fa | whats the best openvpn client for ubuntu | 03:47 |
| jags | FalseLobster, synaptic has more info i think | 03:47 |
| Aer | but im logging out now , need sleep thanks for all your help tonight guys :) | 03:47 |
| EUdirektivet | nite:) | 03:47 |
| Aer | :) | 03:48 |
| step21 | hartkrisp, well, as longs as you know for sure that older versions or windows etc. also have this problem I'm pretty sure it's not the hardware. especially with this kind of error. you are not using an external screen on the laptop, are you? | 03:48 |
| hartkrisp | no, there are no external devices on the compter | 03:48 |
| FalseLobster | jags: I'm trying the removal through synaptic this time, thanks for the help | 03:49 |
| step21 | hartkrisp, if you can do anything, did you try setting a new resolution? | 03:49 |
| kachingo | Hi, I'm having troubled with my wired networking, for some reason although my wireless works fine and wlan0 exists, eth0 does not exist. I can't find the device listed anywhere. It has definitely worked previously | 03:50 |
| Integrity_ | kachingo: whats the problem ? | 03:50 |
| rodrigo79 | how the hell the ubuntu 10.10 setup doesn't install the "dmraid" package???? Jesus titty Christ!!! | 03:50 |
| step21 | kachingo, cable plugged in right? | 03:50 |
| hartkrisp | well, i'm sitting on a working windows 7 install right now, i have yet to be able to install. when the gui boots for install i have the same problem, as with trying a live boot. so all i have intalled right now is through the wubi install inside windows. | 03:50 |
| kachingo | yeah cable's plugged in but light doesn't show on ethernet switch | 03:51 |
| step21 | hartkrisp, what if you install an earlier version that works and then upgrade? | 03:51 |
| step21 | would be easiest i thionk | 03:51 |
| hartkrisp | ok, i will try that and check back. thank you. | 03:51 |

| a1fa | Kaizen: i dont want the console tool.. i want the a gui client | 03:55 |
| kk9822 | can aby one help me in makina active x run | 03:55 |
| step21 | it will show everything, not just console | 03:55 |
| kk9822 | any | 03:56 |
| step21 | also, all guis use the console client | 03:56 |
| Kaizen | a1fa there are some in software centre but they still require manual config | 03:56 |
| kk9822 | in fire fox | 03:56 |
| ilovefairuz | kk9822: it won't | 03:56 |
| kachingo | Integrity_: Sorry, to clarify: I have two NICs, a wireless card and a regular wired ethernet NIC. They both used to work fine, but I haven't used a wired connection in a while and when I tried to today the wired NIC doesn't seem to exist anymore, there is no eth0 interface and I can't even find the device at all | 03:57 |
| kk9822 | some softwares get stuck | 03:58 |
| kk9822 | without it | 03:58 |
| kk9822 | why | 03:58 |
| Integrity_ | kachingo: check all your physical connections , are all lights on , is the card fastened tightly ? | 03:58 |
| manuel_ | i just downloaded libreoffice, how do i install the program? | 03:58 |
| ilovefairuz | kk9822: because this is a gnu/linux system, not windows | 03:58 |
| AbhiJit | manuel_, #libreoffice | 03:59 |
| ilovefairuz | kk9822: use web applications that don't use active x | 03:59 |
| manuel_ | ok thanks | 03:59 |
| kk9822 | i understand that like i am doing share trading so when i tryto connect to anglebroking.com | 04:00 |
| kk9822 | it says activex is blocked hence the application wont work what do i do | 04:00 |
| blakkheim | kk9822: active x does not work on linux, you can't use it | 04:00 |
| kachingo | Integrity_: the card in question is integrated into the motherboard. I have tried two network cables. The lights on the ethernet switch and the mobo do not register the cable being connected. Is it possible for this to be caused by the OS? | 04:00 |
| ilovefairuz | kk9822: you can try using IE on WINE, it may run your activex stuff but no guarantees | 04:01 |
| ilovefairuz | kk9822: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ | 04:01 |
| kk9822 | these are online platformbased software so it is imp that popups are allowed in firefox | 04:01 |
| ilovefairuz | kk9822: are you even reading what we write? stop repeating the same questions | 04:02 |
| kk9822 | yes i m sorry | 04:03 |

| sayo_ | holy crap did someone mention my name earlier or something | 05:14 |
| fcn | quiescens, nothing because they all are greyed out. nothing to choose or do there | 05:14 |
| ilovefairuz | tianpuxian: what are you trying to accomplish? compiling something? | 05:14 |
| Guest25477 | yapsol, I mounted them all to a file named storage. So I guess if I fsck this folder it will scan all of them huh | 05:14 |
| kmyst | i did a dist-upgrade to maverick and my disk is encrypted...i'm getting some cryptsetup: evms_deactivate errormsg...anybody have a fix for this?? | 05:15 |
| yapsol | fsck doesn't work this way | 05:15 |
| Guest25477 | darn | 05:15 |
| earthshade | There are no wireless networks listen in the top right! That's the problem. | 05:15 |
| dontput | ilovefairuz, i think theres no messages... | 05:15 |
| Guest25477 | yapsol, so do i need to target them with the name specified in /dev | 05:15 |
| yapsol | do this: type echo /dev/[hs]d[abcd][0-9] | 05:15 |
| earthshade | Me? | 05:15 |
| dontput | ilovefairuz, or should i wait little longer? | 05:16 |
| yapsol | no, to Guest25477 - this will list all the drives | 05:16 |
| ilovefairuz | earthshade: from a terminal, paste the output of: sudo lshw -C network | 05:16 |
| ilovefairuz | !terminal | earthshade | 05:16 |
| ubottu | earthshade: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

| earthshade | ilovefairuz: I cant copy and paste... Im on my iPhone so if I ran it on my computer I couldn't use the Internet since the problem is that im not connected | 05:17 |
| ilovefairuz | dontput: no, a few moments should be enough, if there's nothing there, check the global key shortcuts in system > preferences | 05:17 |
| quiescens | fcn: i'm wondering why its grayed out, ordinarily it lets you click it and then if it fails it will say so instead | 05:18 |
| ilovefairuz | earthshade: then just tell what chipset is there and what driver is loaded, also check if there's anything blocked in: rfkill list | 05:18 |
| Guest25477 | yapsol, thanks that is a neat little command | 05:18 |
| earthshade | Ok one sex | 05:18 |
| yapsol | When you type this at a terminal, echo /dev/[hs]d[abcd][0-9] all your partitions will be listed. One of them will be the swap | 05:18 |
| earthshade | Sec | 05:18 |

| quiescens | fcn: i see, one moment | 05:20 |
| rww | King_Troopa: It's not. The increments you have are a property of your CPU. | 05:21 |
| dontput | ilovefairuz, i actually disable all shortcut keys with ALT keys. I now remember when i modified the lock screen. into ALT+Return. and the next morning erros is present. | 05:21 |
| yapsol | Guest25477, it should be fsck /dev/partition | 05:21 |
| earthshade | ilovefairuz: Wlan no such device | 05:21 |
| Guest25477 | yapsol, thank you for your help | 05:21 |
| quiescens | fcn: could you do "apt-cache policy compiz" | 05:21 |
| yapsol | you need to repeat the command for all your partitions | 05:21 |
| King_Troopa | rww the windows 7 installation can do 100 different increments... so how can that be true? | 05:21 |
| Sayo | hi folks. i need to put an iso image onto a usb drive and make it bootable. anyone suggest a super awesome program or how to even go about looking for one? | 05:21 |
| ilovefairuz | earthshade: does your wireless device show in lshw -C network? it should tell you the interface name too | 05:22 |
| xangua | Sayo: unetbootin | 05:22 |
| Guest25477 | yeah I read that, so i just need to man up and come back after a couple minutes for each one | 05:22 |
| yapsol | Guest25477, i don't remember, but you may need to use sudo | 05:22 |
| fcn | quiescens, http://pastebin.com/s8cQSWpD | 05:22 |
| yapsol | sudo fsck /dev/partition | 05:22 |
| rww | King_Troopa: As far as I know, there's no CPU that can step in speed to 100 different increments. Unless there's something going on I'm not familiar with, I'd guess most of those don't do much. | 05:22 |
| earthshade | Is that L shw or i shw ilovefairuz ? | 05:22 |
| dontput | earthshade, Your WiFI connection is built-in ready during installation you dont need to do anything. just plug it during fresh install. | 05:22 |
| Guest25477 | yes thank you. | 05:22 |

| earthshade | dontput: There is nothing listed... No networks | 05:22 |
| earthshade | Ok cool thanks | 05:23 |
| quiescens | fcn: okay, looks like the visual effects stuff isn't installed for some reason, do "sudo apt-get install compiz" and then try it again | 05:23 |
| Guest25477 | yapsol, take care and thanks for the help again | 05:23 |
| Sayo | xangua: really? like if i had any sort of 'meant to be ran at startup' cd, not just a linux distro, it'll make the usb drive bootable like a cd? | 05:23 |

| EeePC_woes | khedron : I did check that before I bought my netbook. And It was running perfectly fine for the first few weeks i had it | 06:02 |
| earthshade | ilovefairuz: Is there a way to see the ubuntu desktop folder from xp? | 06:02 |
| ilovefairuz | duolos: to have the command executed in the background, add & | 06:02 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: possibly a new bug, try the 10.04 release? | 06:03 |
| EeePC_woes | dominicdinada : I think that might be a good idea. I've already put up a post asking for help on this issue, if that doesn't help I might ask if someone who lives nearby will help | 06:03 |
| duolos | ilovefairuz, I'm sorry, this is my first bash script... so I'd do: &gedit 2> /dev/null ? | 06:03 |
| ilovefairuz | earthshade: hmm dont think there are ext4 drivers for windows so no | 06:03 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: It seems like you really know your stuff like the other helpful people here! i can't offer you anything in exchange, but would you be willing to maybe help me out? If i could transfer edible cookies via IRC, i totally would. ;~; | 06:03 |
| ilovefairuz | duolos: & is at the very end | 06:03 |
| earthshade | Ok | 06:03 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: You're very kind. How may I help? | 06:03 |
| dominicdinada | or go into a pc shop and offer them 50$ to get you dual booted | 06:03 |
| duolos | ilovefairuz, gedit 2> /dev/null &? | 06:03 |
| ilovefairuz | duolos: yes | 06:04 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : I was running NBR 10.04 when this happened. It was running fine, until I ran out of juice while an update was installing | 06:04 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Wow! Thank you so much! Okay, here's my question | 06:04 |
| jackie89 | Do you know why my built-in touchpad mouse keeps slowing to a stop and then freezes my display every ten minutes or so? I can't even manage to install my updates like histo suggested, so I'd really appreciate any suggestions or input people could grant me! Thanks for reading this, anyhow. | 06:04 |
| duolos | ilovefairuz, thank you. | 06:04 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: do you still have it installed and can you get to a terminal? | 06:05 |
| dominicdinada | EeePC_woes: ummmmm with any PC windows, mac, linux u should always make sure ur fully charged or plugged in, this is totally your fauly | 06:05 |
| livingdaylight | just upgraded to 10.10 and panel seems broken. Where is the clock gone? | 06:05 |
| dominicdinada | fault* | 06:05 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Does it happen in conjunction with internet access, especially wlan (wifi)? | 06:05 |
| EeePC_woes | dominicdinada : I agree I just got complacent with the phenomenal battery life on this thing | 06:05 |
| dojohnso | hey all, i'm back. bcbc2 was right. copying over the c:\wubildr file did the trick and i can boot up with 10.10 with no issue :) | 06:06 |
| dojohnso | thanks for all your support! | 06:06 |
| dominicdinada | EeePC_woes: worst come to worst start over, problem solved | 06:06 |
| bcbc2 | dojohnso: cool | 06:06 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Yes! I just got my wireless connection going on Saturday night with the help of psychotic oreo and lucent, and now it's acting up like never before... I might've done something wrong with their support and instructions. i feel terrible for messing this up. | 06:06 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: if you can get to a terminal on it, try sudo aptitude reinstall udev | 06:06 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : Nope, It just flashes a line of text on the screen when I power up: "udevadm trigger is not allowed while udev is unconfigured" | 06:06 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Bug # 603982 (I'm not making this up) :) | 06:06 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/603982 <--- does this match your experience? | 06:06 |

| mbrochh | Hello all | 06:07 |
| mbrochh | I just installed IE7 with playonlinux | 06:07 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: I might have to force restart my computer if it freezes, would you still be here? | 06:07 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Yes. I have no life. | 06:07 |
| mbrochh | it seems to work, but I cant see any GUY | 06:07 |
| mbrochh | it looks like a popup window opening the wine website | 06:07 |

| EeePC_woes | dominicdinada : I don't mind starting over, I have all my data backed up. But how? I can't boot into a liveUSB to do a wipe and install | 06:08 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron ; So what are my other options? | 06:09 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: I urge you to try 10.04, then 10.10 later; 10.10 was a problem for me. It forced me to reinstall the grub boot loader, for instance. | 06:09 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : You mean to try the 10.04 on a liveUSB instead of 10.10? | 06:09 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: good question, what model was your netbook? | 06:09 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: Yes. It's possible that the issue is distro-specific. | 06:09 |
| EeePC_woes | 1005HAB | 06:09 |

| Khedron | EeePC_woes: well other ppla re having the problem too, lemme read the thread see if there's a fix | 06:11 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : but i've tried with the 10.04 liveUSB too, and I know that distro doesn't have any problems, since it was working fine | 06:11 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: What I hear you saying is, you've used 10.04 w/o problems, but 10.10 is giving you problems. Have I heard you correctly? | 06:11 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238771 | 06:12 |
| Khedron | try post 3 | 06:12 |
| Khedron | spinningcompass: might be right, may be a grub messup | 06:12 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: At the risk of insulting your intelligence, I would encourage you to stick with 10.04 until 10.10's bugs have been ironed out. Why jeopardize your system's stability? Stick with 10.04. :) | 06:13 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : someone on reddit linked me to this thread http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567147 | 06:13 |
| rusivi | spinningcompass: Agreed. | 06:13 |
| Reverend_Ruff | I concur with spinningcompass | 06:13 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : I was using 10.04 without problems, until now. I've tried booting into a liveUSB with both 10.04 and 10.10 | 06:14 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : I don't mind doing a clean wipe, but I'm not sure how | 06:14 |
| Reverend_Ruff | 10.04 is giving you issues via liveusb? | 06:14 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: Interesting. What I'm hearing is that 10.04's LiveUSB *now* misbehaves whereas before it was working fine. | 06:14 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: it seems the init is not being updated on a kernel update, as both threads are saying the same thing really | 06:14 |
| Khedron | that wouldn't explain why the live cd does it though | 06:15 |
| Khedron | unless it's some weird kernel bug | 06:15 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : not just the liveUSB, the install on the EeePC itself is acting up. I was trying to use the liveUSB to do clean wipe and install on the Eee, but the same error persists | 06:15 |
| earthshade | ilovefairuz: Sudo: ndiswrapper: command not found | 06:16 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: Interesting. In that case, I would urge you to try another Linux distro - say, Red Hat or SuSE or even Debian - to see if you get the same problem. | 06:16 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : Yes, That seems to be the consensus in the threads | 06:16 |
| Khedron | rpm distro's eww :P | 06:16 |
| flintwestwood | does anyone here have a pogoplugdevice? and if so, are you still running the default OS on it? | 06:17 |

| uLinux | does somebody know how to use wpa-psk in Wicd Network Manager? | 06:17 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : Yes, I think for now that's the best option. unfortunately, my other computer is a mac (insert n00b jokes here) and i'm not sure how to go about creating a liveUSB for one of those distros on a mac. Any helpful links? | 06:17 |
| Roasted | nevermind | 06:17 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: I'm *on* a Mac right now. :) I won't make jokes at your expense. :) Yes, there are plenty of USB-based (or USB-friendly) distros. brb, I'll find a few | 06:18 |
| uLinux | !wicd | 06:18 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: hmm, does unetbootin work on mac? *looks* | 06:18 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : doesn't look like it | 06:18 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: DSL, Puppy, Mandriva Flash, ... | 06:18 |
| Khedron | no | 06:18 |
| Khedron | lol | 06:18 |
| Khedron | ok I know nothing about macs other than it's unix based, so dd will at least work | 06:19 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : Any recommendations? which of those am I most likely to find support / documentation for ? | 06:19 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : Yes, dd works, I used it when making the 10.10 liveUSB (following instructions from the ubuntu support site) | 06:20 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: most distros have an image you can dd to a usb stick | 06:20 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. Do you have an external CD drive? | 06:20 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: See Khedron's comment. (I concur w/ him/her.) | 06:21 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : Nope, but I'm getting the feeling that would be awise investment | 06:21 |
| spinningcompass | EeePC_woes: Amen! For all we know, the problem is with your USB port. ;) | 06:21 |
| Khedron | spinningcompass: him ;) but the nick is a bit ambiguous lol | 06:22 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : so I should just follow the same instructions as posted here: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download ? | 06:22 |
| spinningcompass | Khedron: English loves her sexist pronouns. :) It gives lawyers extra work... | 06:22 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: mostly yes, but every distro has different ways, but if you can find an image you can dd it | 06:23 |
| maco | spinningcompass: i just use "hir" | 06:23 |
| EeePC_woes | spinningcompass : hopefully not, I've tried all three | 06:23 |
| spinningcompass | maco: How's that working out for you? | 06:23 |
| maco | spinningcompass: havent had much problem with it. textual people can read it as a typo of whichever they prefer (him or her) and folks who know about gender neutral pronouns get a smile out of it | 06:24 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : OK, here goes nothing, i'm going to try dd on a different distro | 06:24 |
| maco | spinningcompass: plus it doesnt assume everyone fits the gender binary | 06:24 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: I suggest debian if you're fine with a command line | 06:24 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : I'm fine in as much as I can follow clear instructions | 06:25 |
| spinningcompass | maco: I'm from the generation before gender became a non-binary issue. Fortunately for me, I don't have to worry about such things. I'll merely die in 40-50 years and let my grandchildren figure it out. | 06:25 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: well debian should be fine then, you can install a desktop out of the box (gnome) but you will have to add your own software after, but it's apt based | 06:25 |
| * spinningcompass buys a parrot to sit on Khedron's shoulder & squawk, "I concur!" at opportune moments | 06:26 | |
| Khedron | lol | 06:26 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : OK, debian it is | 06:26 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : Any particular version you recommend? | 06:27 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: go for unstable, trust me, it's more stable than ubuntu lol | 06:27 |
| Khedron | its called squeeze | 06:27 |
| blakkheim | squeeze is testing | 06:27 |
| blakkheim | not unstable | 06:27 |
| SoulShadow | squeeze is the next debian | 06:27 |
| Khedron | blakkheim: yeah that's what I meant :| not sid | 06:27 |
| jackie89 | Hello again! | 06:28 |
| spinningcompass | word up, home skillet. | 06:29 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : So I just grab the iso image off this link? http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ | 06:29 |
| Khedron | no that's stable, etch | 06:29 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Okay, yup, that's almost exactly the same type of problem I'm having. | 06:29 |
| Khedron | sec | 06:29 |
| rww | Khedron: current stable version of Debian is lenny ;P | 06:30 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: In the short term, install a nifty little mobile mouse - you know, the kind that has a retractible USB cable. | 06:30 |
| Khedron | rww: blah | 06:30 |
| floppydrive | I've run in to problems when trying to run software not downloaded from the ubuntu repository | 06:30 |
| rww | lenny is stable, squeeze is testing-but-probably-stable-soon, sid is unstable. This Debian user recommends squeeze, though officially one's supposed to recommend stable always ;) | 06:30 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: If I were you, I would also request that the bug be reopened. | 06:30 |

| unnikalathil | is there any difference in sound quality between windows and Ubuntu ? | 06:31 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: I'm afraid i don't have one of those... Can i skip the short term and see if i can remove the bug? I have no idea what to do with online ones... | 06:31 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: If you boot with an older kernel, does the problem still occur? | 06:31 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: I'm hoping you have some older kernels installed, which you can use via the GRUB boot loader. | 06:31 |
| blakkheim | unnikalathil: yes | 06:31 |
| unnikalathil | which is better? | 06:31 |
| floppydrive | apparently, Ubuntu policy states that a certain bit should be set to mark a program executable, and I foresee that this bit will possibly NEVER be set in windows programs, rendering it impossible to run them even under Wine. What to do? | 06:31 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: You lost me at 'kernel', what is that? | 06:31 |
| Khedron | rww: was meant to go stable a while ago, but i'm not exactly surprised it didn't lol | 06:32 |
| Krishnandu | unnikalathil, I found Ubuntu better | 06:32 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Oh nuts. Um, when your computer first starts to boot, it'll give you a funky-looking screen w/ 'GRUB' at the top. Yes? | 06:32 |
| Oxwivi | unnikalathil: I noticed that increasing the volume over two bars at Ubuntu distorts the sound, but this could be an isolated case. | 06:32 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : Thanks, I guess I'll go give this a shot now, though something tells me I'll be back here soon | 06:32 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Or does it go straight to a pretty "booting" screen with a spinning dial or perhaps four little horizontal dots that change color as time pases | 06:32 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Oh yeah! I learned how to pull that up Saturday! Do you want me to access it? | 06:32 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: lol | 06:33 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Are you running Ubuntu 10.10? | 06:33 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: It goes straight to the spinning dial... But if i hit shift multiple times then click 'Enter Esc' really quick, it'll go for me. | 06:33 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: No, i'm running 8.04 | 06:33 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Ah. OK. Ubuntu 8.04... and did this touchpad bug recently crop up? | 06:34 |
| jackie89 | At least... i think i am. Should i do that cat command again? | 06:34 |
| Oxwivi | I use 10.10, I want to know how to change the Samba options like -F, -D, etc. | 06:34 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Yes. When i got my wireless up and running, it happened the day after. | 06:34 |
| Demael | Hello all | 06:34 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Which was today. | 06:34 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: ok... so, until recently you were connecting to the Internet via Ethernet, yes? | 06:34 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: ...and recently, you got your wifi up & running, and *that* was when the trackpad started going nuts. Yes? | 06:35 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron ; So I'm going to get that debian.iso, convert it to .img using hdiutil in mac's terminal and then follow the same dd instructions as I did to mke the ubuntu liveUSB, right? | 06:35 |

| spinningcompass | Oxwivi: Sure, I'll do my best. i installed samba on ubuntu yesterday. I'm not an expert but I'll do what i can. What's up? | 06:37 |
| Khedron | it's more linux specific though | 06:37 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: When i tried to install updates using the manager, my screen froze... Then i rebooted and tried again, same results. | 06:37 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: eeep. That's bad. (Sorry, you probably figured that out already) :) | 06:37 |
| tacotron | is there something wrong with firefox? i JUST installed 10.10 x64, and im tyring to change my personas on firefox but they wont change, it attemps to change the skin but it doesnt, it just stays one color | 06:38 |
| UnderOath | heller | 06:38 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Try this. I can't remember the key combo but I think it is Ctrl-Alt-F1. That will get you to a command line --- no GUI, just a command line. If you get nervous, press Alt-(left cursor) a couple of times to get back to the GUI. | 06:38 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : Thanks, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any mac specific information on there. I think I should get a dual boot with windows going on my mac to start with, it'll probably make dealing with the Eee a bit easier | 06:39 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Okay... What's GUI? | 06:39 |
| Khedron | spinningcompass: ctrl alt and f7 | 06:39 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: GUI = Graphical User Interface. It's a fancy way of saying, "the screen that you look at every day, which has icons and windows and pointers and stuff." | 06:39 |
| Khedron | EeePC_woes: maybe, or install linux on it ;) | 06:40 |
| jackie89 | Ohhh, i see | 06:40 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: GUI as opposed to command line. Command line basically means, "stuff where you type & get feedback;" it's all text-based, rather than based on graphics. | 06:40 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Thank you! i got it... Just a black screen, and it asked for my login and password. | 06:40 |
| jackie89 | What's next? | 06:40 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Yes, and if you get nervous, press Alt-<left arrow> a few times to get back here. | 06:40 |
| jackie89 | Okay... Thank you so much again. :] i really appreciate all your effort | 06:40 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: ... After logging in, type 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. The first time, it'll ask you or your password again. Enter it. Then say 'OK' a few times. Follow the on-screen prompts. | 06:41 |
| Khedron | spinningcompass: is that gnome specific? i've always used f7 | 06:41 |
| EeePC_woes | khedron : believe me, I'm all for Linux. But I'll have to wait until i've gained a little more competence and don't have to come running to an irc everytime my computer doesn't feel like booting up | 06:41 |
| spinningcompass | Khedron: It's all the same really. It was F1 thru F6 for a while , but different distros have different numbers of CLIs running at once. | 06:41 |

| UnderOath | Google never has pron | 06:48 |
| nits | blakkheim: can u gimme a command pls | 06:48 |
| spinningcompass | ah, ok | 06:48 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: it should already run at startup if you have the server installed | 06:48 |
| ejv | nits: that issue is kind of outside the realm of support that is offered here, have you tried #ffmpeg ? | 06:48 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: OK, now, this isn't a trick question, but... do you ever use VirtualBox? | 06:48 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: I don't think so. | 06:48 |
| UnderOath | I look up "ass" in google inmages and see nothing but the back of ppls pants | 06:48 |
| floppydrive | spinningcompass: very true | 06:48 |
| Khedron | UnderOath: put &safe=off in your url | 06:49 |
| Khedron | ;P | 06:49 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: What's virtualbox? | 06:49 |
| Oxwivi | Kheldron: I installed the system-config-samba as well, and for some reason, I can't share my printer without running it first. | 06:49 |
| nits | ejv: oh ok.... | 06:49 |
| Ubuntu-LinuX | hello guys....can i ask something here? especially to those linux experts... | 06:49 |
| ejv | !offtopic | UnderOath | 06:49 |
| ubottu | UnderOath: #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! | 06:49 |
| Oxwivi | *running it | 06:49 |
| ejv | !ask | Ubuntu-LinuX | 06:49 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu-LinuX: 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. :-) | 06:49 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: I don't have a printer, but that might be related to cups? | 06:49 |
| Khedron | no idea really | 06:49 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: It's something you don't really need, but that is causing you problems. It's a tool for enabling you to run an OS inside your OS. | 06:50 |
| floppydrive | Ubuntu-LinuX: pop the question! :) | 06:50 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Ohhh, okay... How do i get rid of it, then> | 06:50 |
| jackie89 | ?* | 06:50 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Try... --> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 06:50 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: We can think about printers later, do you know how to change options? | 06:50 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: If that fails, I'll tell you how to remove virtualbox, but i would prefer to fix it. :) | 06:50 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: what options do you want to change | 06:50 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: Samba's options. It's -F by default, I want it -D. | 06:51 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "command not found" | 06:51 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: I meant the opposite. | 06:51 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: how about.... sudo apt-get remove virtualbox* | 06:51 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: Default is -D, I want it -F. | 06:51 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: With the asteric? | 06:52 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Yes | 06:52 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: ok which version are you on, as samba changed recently | 06:52 |
| jackie89 | Or whatever the star is? | 06:52 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: 10.10, to run Samba, the command is smbd. I found the options with man smbd. | 06:52 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "E: Couldn't find package virtualbox* | 06:52 |
| jackie89 | " | 06:52 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: yes, they removed the init script, it uses service now | 06:53 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: kill any samba you currently have running | 06:53 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: killall? | 06:54 |
| Khedron | sure | 06:54 |
| UnderOath | kill all humans | 06:54 |
| Oxwivi | :D | 06:54 |
| Khedron | lol | 06:54 |
| jackie89 | Is that seriously a command in linux? o.O; | 06:54 |
| FyreFoX | hi, using rdesktop to a windows7 machine the cursor is very laggy, but to a xp machine it works fine. maverick 64bit | 06:55 |
| Khedron | jackie89: killall? or all humans lol | 06:55 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: Operation not permitted, use sudo? | 06:55 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: yes | 06:55 |
| jackie89 | The second... | 06:55 |
| FyreFoX | is this normal or expected | 06:55 |
| jackie89 | That was probably a very stupid question. :/ | 06:55 |
| UnderOath | activation: Muslim: Achmed: "AYAYAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAY1" | 06:55 |
| Khedron | jackie89: no :) | 06:55 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Try 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 06:55 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: so you've been starting samba manually? | 06:55 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: No output, I guess it was succesfull. | 06:55 |

| Oxwivi | Khedron: Yes, through the Terminal. | 06:56 |
| floppydrive | jackie89: killall is a command to terminate processes. "killall humans" would be possible if you had a program running called "humans" :) | 06:56 |

| jackie89 | UnderOath: omg! i totally got that joke! i love jeff dunhammmmm | 06:56 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: right I have an idea what it might be thenn, as recently samba in ubuntu went from being an init script to an upstart one | 06:56 |
| jackie89 | Lol, floppydrive. | 06:56 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: do this, sudo service smbd start | 06:56 |

| ubottu | UnderOath: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 06:56 |
| elky | UnderOath, do you plan on behaving any time soon? | 06:56 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: Oops, no I didn't start it manually, but I can't get the printer on network without running the GUI. | 06:57 |
| rww | UnderOath: Please consider reading the link from ubottu before you dig a deeper hole for yourself :\ | 06:57 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: The Ubuntu system shows up on Windows, but when I run GUI the printer appears. | 06:57 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "Setting up update-manager (1:0.87.30netbook0belmont2)... | 06:57 |
| jackie89 | Done! :D | 06:57 |
| Khedron | Oxwivi: you've lost me, what GUI? your desktop? | 06:57 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Ok, now 'sudo apt-get update' | 06:57 |
| UnderOath | The Jeff Dunham show doent come on often does it? | 06:58 |
| Oxwivi | Khedron: GUI of system-config-samba, and to make matters worse I'm gonna be sharing the printer with Windows XP, Vista AND 7! | 06:58 |
| Agent001 | Is it possible to make ubuntu run faster? | 06:58 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Looks like it worked! i'm not getting any error messages! | 06:58 |
| spinningcompass | Agent001: Yes. Buy a bigger whip. | 06:58 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Next, 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 06:58 |
| UnderOath | did u just kick me? | 06:58 |
| bazhang | UnderOath, keep it civil and on topic | 06:59 |
| UnderOath | UR A MEANIE | 06:59 |
| Madpilot | UnderOath, have you read the Guidelines URL the bot supplied you with? Go do so. | 06:59 |
| UnderOath | .; | 06:59 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "After this operation, 94.2kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? | 06:59 |
| * spinningcompass hugs UnderOath in a manly, very platonic way. "There, there. Come read this book about preemptive multitasking in the Linux kernel." | 06:59 | |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Yes, you do. :) | 07:00 |
| jackie89 | "* | 07:00 |
| jackie89 | :D | 07:00 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: It's nice to be asked, though, isn't it? Computers so often assume they know what we want. It's good to feel involved , even if we're not in control. It's a bit like marriage. | 07:00 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i wouldn't know about that, haha... Though sometimes i feel like a housewife. O.o; At least i love to cook. | 07:00 |
| nits | exit | 07:01 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: After you've typed 'sudo apt-get upgrade', the computer will ask if you want to upgrade all sorts of things. | 07:01 |
| floppydrive | Agent001: it's definitely possible. I recommend looking for that topic in the forums, as well as googling it. There's quite a few optimizations that can be done. | 07:01 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: If you've backed up your data, say yes. If you haven't, I urge you back it up...and then say yes. | 07:01 |
| Agent001 | Thanks, I'm already on my search | 07:01 |
| floppydrive | Agent001: if you're willing to trade the gnome good looks for speed you should check out Lubuntu | 07:02 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Or, if you're feeling 'dangerous', there's the option of upgrading your entire distro to the latest (10.10). I wouldn't recommend it, but you can if you want to. It's a last resort if the "upgrading within 8.04" idea fails. | 07:02 |
| jackie89 | So i type 'sudo apt-get upgrade' agaon, spinningcompass? It hasn't asked me to upgrade anything... And oh no, i'm not feeling dangerous. ;~; | 07:02 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Linux scares me. | 07:02 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: I know the feeling. The more I learn about it, the more it scares me. | 07:03 |
| jackie89 | again* | 07:03 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: What I hear you saying is that you've run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' but you've not been asked to upgrade anything. Have I heard you correctly? | 07:03 |
| suigeneris | Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libmp3lame. <--- what package do I need for this? | 07:03 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i thought i ran an upgrade... Should i run it again just to make sure? | 07:04 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Well, there's "update", which downloads the list of all the upgrades available, and there's "upgrade", which installs them. | 07:04 |
| _ramo | hi | 07:04 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Have you run "update" *and* "upgrade"? | 07:04 |
| spinningcompass | suigeneris: ffmpeg probably | 07:04 |
| spinningcompass | suigeneris: Any relation to ejusdem generis? | 07:05 |
| _ramo | is there any audio player suggested for ubuntu 10.04 where i can liste to online radios? | 07:05 |
| suigeneris | ejusdem? | 07:05 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i ran it again, here's the line i got. "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded" | 07:05 |
| spinningcompass | suigeneris: http://legalperspectives.blogspot.com/2010/03/ejusdem-generis-doctrine-understood.html | 07:05 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: OK. It sounds as if there are no recent upgrades available for 8.04, which doesn't surprise me. | 07:06 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: To fix this problem, you might have to upgrade your distro. :-/ I'm sorry. I hope I'm wrong. | 07:06 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i don't want more bugs... i just want to access my wireless again without the hassle of freezing. :[ | 07:06 |
| suigeneris | spinningcompass no, suigeneris means "one of its kind" in Latin | 07:06 |
| spinningcompass | suigeneris: I know what it means. :) | 07:06 |
| suigeneris | spinningcompass I got ffmpeg and it's the same | 07:07 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: But you did say 'might', is there a way i can do this without upgrading? | 07:07 |
| spinningcompass | suigeneris: sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev libfaad-dev libx264-dev libfaac-dev | 07:08 |
| spinningcompass | suigeneris: ...and look up 'ejusdem generis' ;) | 07:08 |
| bazhang | libmp3lame0 suigeneris this one? | 07:08 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: It sounds like a bug in the kernel. You could upgrade individual packages, such as the kernel, to see if that would fix the problem. | 07:08 |
| bazhang | spinningcompass, lets get back on topic please | 07:09 |
| suigeneris | bazhang I have that | 07:09 |
| bazhang | suigeneris, what are you trying to do, please clarify | 07:09 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: How do i do that? | 07:09 |
| suigeneris | bazhang encode using mencoder, | 07:09 |
| jackie89 | 'sudo apt-get update kernal'? | 07:09 |
| spinningcompass | bazhang: Thank you. | 07:09 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: I'll try to find you a more recent source for 8.04-friendly kernel packages. brb | 07:10 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Thank you so much! | 07:10 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Glad to help (or try at least). | 07:10 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: OK. 8.04 = Hardy Heron. There's a backports page for kernels. *If* the kernel is the problem, then adding this package repository & upgrading your kernel might fix the problem. | 07:11 |
| Diverdude | What ever became of the "google wave project" ? Was that just a big flop or what? | 07:11 |
| bazhang | !ot | Diverdude | 07:11 |
| ubottu | Diverdude: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:11 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: YAY! Okay... Hardy Heron! That's a cute name. :D How do i update it? | 07:12 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: sudo echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:13 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: and then, run 'sudo apt-get update', followed by 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. The idea is to find backports (packages containing more recent updates), then install them. | 07:13 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: This isn't ideal, because the backports aren't officially supported by Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu). Still, it's less trouble than upgrading to the latest Ubuntu distro (which would come with its own set of problems anyway). | 07:14 |
| dongs | hi. | 07:14 |
| spinningcompass | ho. | 07:14 |
| dongs | [ 2843.380000] dvb_core: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module | 07:14 |
| dongs | what is this. | 07:14 |
| spinningcompass | dongs: Are you using MythTV? | 07:14 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied. | 07:14 |
| jackie89 | " | 07:14 |
| dongs | no. | 07:15 |
| dongs | i want to know what causes this and how to fix it. | 07:15 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Ah. Try 'sudo bash' first. Then echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:15 |
| napster | How can I start x applications of a remote machine using ssh? | 07:15 |
| spinningcompass | dongs: Are you using a tv tuner? | 07:15 |
| dongs | i will be, once the module loads. | 07:15 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "sudo: unable to resolve host jaclyn" | 07:16 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: wow, ok.. um... su -l root | 07:16 |
| suigeneris | napster forward x port, then ssh with -X switch | 07:16 |
| spinningcompass | dongs: OK. You're having trouble getting the tv tuner to work. Right? | 07:16 |
| suigeneris | bazhang I em trying to encode using mencoder | 07:17 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: It gave me a whole ton of options... Should i type them all out on pastebin? | 07:17 |
| dongs | spinningcompass: no, im having trouble with that exact error message. I want to know what causes it and how to fix. | 07:17 |
| napster | suigeneris: That will display the app on my local machine right? | 07:17 |
| bazhang | suigeneris, a video? I use handbrake for that | 07:17 |
| spinningcompass | dongs: Define 'having trouble'. | 07:17 |
| greezmunkey | napster: check out the -X option of the ssh command, there's a bit to it, but it is doable | 07:17 |
| dongs | spinningcompass: the module does not load. | 07:17 |
| spinningcompass | dongs: OK, you're being a jerk & therefore I'm not interested in helping you. Bye. | 07:17 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: No, it's OK. You can use 'su -l root' instead. | 07:17 |
| Flynsarmy | oh my god people. i've got a story for you. my google language changed itself to chr somehow. english didn't appear in the options on that language for some reason. i frist had to change my language to 'Elmer Fudd' in the search settings before it'd let me change back to english | 07:18 |
| suigeneris | bazhang I could never figure out correct character set for that while subtitle embedding | 07:18 |
| greezmunkey | napster: additionally, for search purposes, it is called X11 Forwarding | 07:18 |
| dongs | spinningcompass: ? i answered you EXACTLY what my problem is. inserting the module gives that error in dmesg. now if you dont KNOW how to solve this, you can say that. | 07:18 |
| napster | greenmang0: suigeneris OK, thank you | 07:18 |
| greenmang0 | napster: ? | 07:19 |
| suigeneris | he meant greezmunkey | 07:19 |
| suigeneris | he's a tab-o victim | 07:19 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Ohhhh, that's an 'L', i thought it was a '1'! i'm sorry. :[ Okay... it didn't do anything. Just put me back in the next command line. | 07:19 |
| napster | greenmang0: sorry :-) | 07:19 |
| greezmunkey | suigeneris: heh, I see you bet me to the punch with that response, I am no typist :) | 07:20 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: OK. That's good. Now, type .... .... echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:20 |
| greenmang0 | napster: np :) | 07:20 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: With the sudo? | 07:20 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: without | 07:20 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: sir yes, sir! :D Thanks. | 07:20 |
| ravibn | I am getting an error with "sudo setcap cap_net_admin=ei /usr/bin/qemu-system-*" while trying to install KVM | 07:21 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: ... Should i have not included the '....'s> | 07:22 |
| jackie89 | ?* | 07:22 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: no, please exclude the dots. I'm sorry. i should have put something like -------> :) | 07:22 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i'm sorry, lol, okay, lemme retype it. :D i need to ask these things prior. | 07:22 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: FYI, you're adding a package repository to your list of package repositories. A repository (in this context) is a place from which your Linux distribution downloads the latest upgrades. Ubuntu doesn't include backports (think "retrofitted") by default, but you're making it include them. | 07:23 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Crumbmuffins you're smart about this stuff, it's intimidating. @.@ | 07:24 |
| peepsalot | why is it when i ping google.com, it seems to pause for a very long interval between pings? but if i try yahoo for example the interval is much shorter. (the latencies are roughly the same however) | 07:24 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Okay! It didn't do anything, it just got me back to the command line after. | 07:24 |
| peepsalot | does ubuntu throttle pings to some sites? | 07:24 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Good. Now, type ------> apt-get update | 07:24 |
| greezmunkey | Haven't been around much lately, hows 10.10 going overall? Pretty smooth, or lots of upgrade issues? | 07:25 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: You've added the repository of backports. Now, you're telling your package manager, "Hey dude, I've added a new repository. Please examine its contents." | 07:25 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Then apt-get upgrade? | 07:25 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Yes. Exactly. | 07:25 |
| napster | greezmunkey: suigeneris Actually I don't mean X forwarding. I need the application displayed on the remote machine itself | 07:25 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "E: Some index files failed to doanload, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." | 07:25 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: *groan* | 07:26 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i'm sorry... i really am. | 07:26 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: No, I'm sorry. :) Everything I told you was correct *except* for the repository. I've clearly given you the wrong one. brb | 07:26 |
| fazzil | why kubuntu still appear when i log off, i remove it before? | 07:26 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Thank you! :D | 07:26 |
| greezmunkey | napster: so, you want like a remote desktop similar to VNC? where the local screen shows what you are doing from a remote location. Like for showing someone something? | 07:27 |
| napster | greezmunkey: Exactly | 07:27 |
| Ubuntu-LinuX | is anybody here can give the step by step on how to do dual booting. i have installed windows xp in my master hdd i want to install ubuntu in separate disk. | 07:27 |
| greezmunkey | napster: you can do that via ssh as well, check out vino. | 07:28 |
| napster | greezmunkey: Ok, let me see | 07:28 |
| Damascene | Hi, I've opened a port for rtorrent and I find there is root user using it | 07:29 |
| greezmunkey | napster: you will need a decent network connection for it to be of much use though :( | 07:29 |
| Damascene | http://fpaste.org/6356/ | 07:29 |
| Damascene | port is 62535 | 07:30 |
| napster | greezmunkey: But actually, I just wanted to start bittorrent client on my PC in my room from my laptop, before I go to sleep :-( Why there should be much network usage | 07:30 |
| napster | ? | 07:30 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse <-- was this the line you added? | 07:30 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i believe so. | 07:31 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: i can't scroll up. :[ | 07:31 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: I bet I missed some of that out. :-/ Please double-check. I *think * only suggested multiverse & missed the other words out. | 07:31 |
| greezmunkey | napster: you can do all of that with X11 forwarding, seriously. | 07:31 |
| jackie89 | Oh! i can scroll up! One moment | 07:31 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Type 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' and see what the last line says, please. | 07:31 |
| napster | greezmunkey: Can you get me a link please? | 07:31 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Okay. :] | 07:31 |
| greezmunkey | napster: lemme look... | 07:32 |
| napster | greezmunkey: I was unable to find something useful on google... | 07:32 |
| napster | :( | 07:32 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "deb http://archive.ubuntu hardy-backsports main universe multiverse restricted" | 07:32 |
| jackie89 | omg... i typed in backsports. i'm so sorry! | 07:33 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: It's OK, it's easy to fix | 07:33 |
| suigeneris | napster use vnc then | 07:33 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Type 'pico /etc/apt/sources.list' and modify the line to read thus:- | 07:33 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse | 07:33 |

| peepsalot | when i ping google there is a 5 second interval between pings(though the latency it returns is normal ~30ms), while i can ping other sites at 1s intervals. any ideas why this would happen | 07:34 |
| tman | hi um i got this comp off a friend its a compaq presario 58W130. it has times where it will randomly restart? any thoughts. | 07:34 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "su: pico: command not found." | 07:34 |
| booi | peepsalot, reverse dns slow/notworking | 07:35 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: Oh, wow! i haven't been married yet, but i'm only 21... So i've got time. :D | 07:35 |
| greezmunkey | napster: that's just it, there's a bunch of howto's there. The best thing you can do is to start going through them until you find something that works for you. You probably want to use Transmission (program) it's a command line version that you can easily control remotely. | 07:35 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: OK, try 'nano /etc/apt/souces.list' | 07:35 |
| booi | peepsalot, ping -n google.com | 07:35 |
| rredd4 | i don't see a hash for ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso, at this web site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes what is the md5? | 07:35 |
| napster | greezmunkey: I'm already using transmission | 07:35 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: sources or souces? | 07:35 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: sources ( wait, what? lol ) | 07:36 |
| Damascene | my problem similar to this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nethogs/+question/113880 | 07:36 |
| booi | rredd4, does vanilla ubuntu have a dvd iso? thought it was cd only | 07:36 |
| Khedron | pico? | 07:36 |
| spinningcompass | oh wait... I typed souces | 07:36 |
| Khedron | never heard that word in a while | 07:36 |
| peepsalot | booi, hmm, ping -n works well. what is the difference? is there something wrong with my connection or is that normal? | 07:36 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: LOL... i wanted to make sure. :D | 07:36 |
| fazzil | how to install my ubuntu? | 07:36 |
| greezmunkey | napster: so your lappy...is it windows or buntu? | 07:36 |
| booi | peepsalot, it's "normal" as in something isn't working but reverse dns isn't that important. | 07:36 |
| fazzil | uninstall i mean | 07:36 |
| napster | greenmang0: buntu | 07:36 |
| rredd4 | booi ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso <-- it says dvd | 07:37 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: "su: nano: command not found" | 07:37 |
| rredd4 | booi need md5 for tht | 07:37 |
| greenmang0 | napster: now what ? | 07:37 |
| rredd4 | that | 07:37 |
| nargies555 | ANYWAY to do VNC to ubuntu (even on latest ubuntu) if compiz fusion effects are turned on? | 07:37 |
| greezmunkey | napster: can you ssh into your desktop already? | 07:37 |
| napster | greezmunkey: yes | 07:37 |
| peepsalot | booi, does your reverse dns work on google? | 07:37 |
| booi | peepsalot, yes but google has many ips. | 07:38 |
| greezmunkey | napster: heck, you're halfway there :) Are you familiar with screen? | 07:38 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: OK. ----> apt-get install nano | 07:38 |
| booi | peepsalot, depends if the transit provider they go through has set it up correctly | 07:38 |
| napster | greenmang0: Actually I press TAB after typing 'gree'... thats why.... sorry... | 07:38 |
| napster | greezmunkey: screen? no! | 07:38 |
| rredd4 | booi what is vanilla? | 07:38 |
| peepsalot | booi, if i change my nameserver would that possibly fix it? | 07:38 |
| greenmang0 | napster: hmmm | 07:38 |
| booi | peepsalot, maybe. | 07:38 |
| booi | rredd4, like, not edubuntu or kubuntu | 07:39 |
| booi | or server or alternate | 07:39 |
| jackie89 | spinningcompass: And now do the 'nano /etc/apt/sources.list' command? | 07:39 |
| peepsalot | so i guess this doesn't really affect most other internet communication though? | 07:39 |
| rredd4 | booi it is just regular live dvd | 07:39 |
| greezmunkey | napster: that's step one. Download and install screen on your desktop and play with it. It allows you to remote in and resume a running session on your desktop, thereby allowing you to connect, check or modify a program, disconnect, then connect again later, and so on... | 07:40 |
| peepsalot | i'm not sure what reverse dns would be used for | 07:40 |
| spinningcompass | jackie89: Yes, and amend the last line; make it read ---> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse | 07:40 |
| napster | greezmunkey: Oh! Thats cool | 07:40 |

| rredd4 | what is the md5 checksum for ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso? i don't see it on the hash web page | 07:47 |

| spinningcompass | jackie89: As you were. Please copy & paste the last line of /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin or similar. | 07:47 |

| ehsantux | yes of course | 08:02 |
| Khedron | ehsantux: sorry, I don't know then | 08:02 |
| hopeless8009 | ok quick question is there an easy way to share a internet connection form one computer wireless with a computer that cant pic up signal off the Acess point | 08:03 |
| ezra-s | why is telepathy the official messenger in Ubuntu? It is crap still | 08:03 |

| crawler | you mean empathy? | 08:04 |
| ezra-s | yes | 08:04 |
| ezra-s | sorry about that | 08:04 |
| ezra-s | keep confusing the names | 08:04 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: That only changed to the default quite recently from Pidgin. Pidgin big :) | 08:05 |
| Damascene | I'm so embarrassed with brasero. I've been asked to copy a CD and it took 2hours | 08:05 |
| Damascene | what should I tell my boss? | 08:05 |
| ezra-s | sebsebseb, I think they made it official like two ubuntu releases ago | 08:05 |
| crawler | ezra-s: it's a long read, but here's a breakdown of why: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmpathyVsPidginUsability | 08:05 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: yeah since 9.10 if I remember correctly, also Ubuntu isn't the only distro where Empathy became the default, I think most Desktop Linux distros are doing Empathy by default now, but Pidgin is still better for many people :) | 08:06 |
| ezra-s | I retried empathy again, now they got the "away, busy, etc." colors right at last, but now you can't even manage groups | 08:06 |
| ezra-s | crawler, thx for the link, checking | 08:06 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: sudo apt-get install pidgin | 08:06 |
| ezra-s | pidgin is great | 08:06 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: Empathy can do more, than just im, but most of us don't need those features, just im, so Pidgin :) | 08:07 |
| ezra-s | sebsebseb, I already have it, just came to do a bit of harmless whining about empathy :) | 08:07 |
| meanieface | what about finch? :) | 08:07 |
| ezra-s | empathy can do more? I can't see that, checking the link first... | 08:07 |
| Damascene | pidgin is a waste of time and full of bugs and it deserved what it get | 08:08 |
| devunt | !irc | 08:08 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 08:08 |
| ezra-s | the link is very outdated | 08:09 |
| sebsebseb | Damascene: I disagree and its way better than Kopete for example | 08:09 |
| sebsebseb | devunt: Kopete is weird when I try that | 08:09 |
| ezra-s | Damascene, but empathy is still too young and lacks features, how come I can't even manage contact groups | 08:09 |
| devunt | sebsebseb: ? | 08:09 |
| sebsebseb | devunt: What? | 08:09 |
| crawler | Damascene: about your question, i think if you disable the image chacksum plugin in brasero, it might go faster | 08:10 |
| ezra-s | and for bugs, I use pidgin with sametime, msn and gmail with no problems at all | 08:10 |
| devunt | aa, sorry. | 08:10 |
| Damascene | I think it grew in few months more than pidgin do in a years | 08:10 |
| Damascene | * in years | 08:10 |
| ezra-s | Damascene, well, if it still lacks the basic features a messenger should have.. | 08:10 |
| sebsebseb | devunt: oh I see so I messaged you by mistake instead of Damascene | 08:11 |
| Damascene | I think pidgin should not come back in 3 years at least | 08:11 |
| devunt | :P | 08:11 |

| Icky | using a thinkpad with ati graphics. when i install the restricted drivers via the 'additional drivers' option, upon reboot i just get a blank screen. same thing happens in fedora. any ideas? | 08:13 |
| crawler | at least the topic is somewhat relevant... | 08:13 |
| Byro | hey quick question... is there an easy way to add pidgin to the chat drop-down so it will show up alongside empathy? Seems like I could do this in 10.04 by installing additional packages. | 08:13 |
| sebsebseb | crawler: no its a debate, which one is better | 08:13 |
| Byro | I'm on 10.10 32-bit | 08:13 |
| sebsebseb | crawler: why is this one maybe better than this one, for this person | 08:13 |
| crawler | i said "somewhat" | 08:14 |
| sebsebseb | crawler: Empathy sucks, because.... Pidgin is better, becuase.... Thats the kind of convo it is | 08:14 |
| crawler | ehem | 08:14 |
| ezra-s | has empathy its own irc channel? | 08:15 |
| johnathan | good morning ladies and gents | 08:15 |
| Byro | oh sorry.. answered my own question by setting up Pidgin... nevermind... (newbie) | 08:15 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: maybe on the Gnome IRC network | 08:15 |
| ezra-s | sebsebseb, I based my whining is usage, you dummy ;P | 08:15 |
| ezra-s | it's not, just because it's better | 08:15 |
| ezra-s | which is the gnome irc network? do you know? | 08:16 |
| johnathan | Is there a program that one can use to get files back after deleting a ubuntu server edition installation? | 08:16 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: right, and when I whine in here about features I don't like in Ubuntu based on useage of the distro for years, I am probably still being off topic really :D | 08:16 |
| ezra-s | hehehe, I said "my bad" I won't whine here about it any more ;) | 08:16 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: irc.gnome.org or something I think | 08:16 |
| ezra-s | thank you man, and sorry to bug ;) | 08:16 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: no its okish, I am just not that intrested in the Empathy vs Pidgin stuff | 08:17 |
| ezra-s | I would like to use it empathy really but, at work I need something fully featured | 08:17 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: Pidgin is good, Epathy can be good, and they don't both do the same stuff, Empathy can do more | 08:18 |
| ezra-s | that's why I am puzzled it is the official thing | 08:18 |
| === Tanvir is now known as Tanvir|Busy | ||
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: Pidgin is just a instant messaging and IRC program, Empathy can do more than that, theres even a remote connect feature with Empathy | 08:18 |

| bethebunny | Hey, so what's up with the new GDM? Was the ability to theme logins just removed? | 08:19 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: sure a bit like that, but maybe it uses its own thing instead of VNC | 08:19 |
| sebsebseb | ezra-s: loasd of remote connect programs these days, even addon/s for Skype | 08:19 |

| bethebunny | I seem to remember that gnome 2.8 'upgraded' GDM to fix a half-decade old security vulnerability, and that this 'upgrade' broke theming, but I find it hard to believe that it was shoved into the repos without thoughts of breaking backwards compatabilities. | 08:22 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: yep you can't theme the newer versiosn of GDM like the old | 08:22 |
| TeChHousE_ | Hello everyone | 08:23 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: can change background and thats about it | 08:23 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: with the newer versions, however there are good alternative llog in screens as well, KDM, LXDM, Slim, and maybe even XDM | 08:23 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: also unfortunatly unlike well at least one distro I know about, can't easilly have the old version of GDM in Ubuntu | 08:24 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: I will probably need to look into those, although I assume my existing login themes will not work out of the box :P | 08:24 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: yep | 08:24 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: which version are you currently on? | 08:24 |
| meiye | hi | 08:24 |
| meiye | abc | 08:24 |
| sebsebseb | meiye: defg | 08:25 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: 10.04; waiting till I have a free weekend to upgrade :P | 08:25 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: if your on 10.04, then you got GDM 2? | 08:25 |
| TeChHousE_ | wondering if someone will help me install Propellerhead Reason 5 (Music Production Software) on my HP Compaq 6730B Laptop which has the new Ubuntu 10.10-netbook-i386 installed on it | 08:25 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: its since 9.10, that Ubuntu has been using the newer GDM that can't be themed like the old one | 08:26 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: gdm version is 2.30.2 atm | 08:26 |
| chu_ | Hey guys, a little nagging issue. This ubuntu software update tool stays around in my task bar, even after I have downloaded and installed the updates. Is this a known issue, or am I the only unlucky person? | 08:26 |
| AlphaPlayer2 | Hi guys! | 08:26 |
| ejv | TeChHousE_: does Reason 5 have a linux build? | 08:26 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: just like its since 9.10, that ith as been using for well many of us, is the sucky version of Grub, yep Grub 2, old one :) | 08:26 |
| TeChHousE_ | no | 08:26 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: Yeah, I haven't really bothered checking on my laptop recently, so I just noticed it, but I had manually upgraded on my gentoo box earlier and it broke all my stuff x.x | 08:27 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: well then your not already using the old themes | 08:27 |
| ejv | TeChHousE_: hmmm... have you read reports of others getting it to work under Ubuntu? | 08:27 |
| TeChHousE_ | i had it installed on the version of ubuntu before this version and it worked fine | 08:27 |
| TeChHousE_ | yes | 08:27 |
| TeChHousE_ | 1 person has | 08:27 |
| TeChHousE_ | the problem i have | 08:27 |
| ejv | TeChHousE_: oh ok, well i've never had to install it, sorry heheh, i'll google for some dpkg packages see if i come across anything | 08:28 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: No, but it's a problem for the lab that I admin and have a custom gdm theme for, that we're just starting to upgrade | 08:28 |
| kenneth | hi | 08:28 |
| TeChHousE_ | is that it installs but then asks for the disk | 08:28 |
| kenneth | how to disable auto connect? | 08:28 |
| kenneth | in the gnome xchat thingie | 08:28 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: well make a background that is similar to the theme, or maybe even switch to a distro where you can use the old GDM without a load of issues | 08:28 |
| TeChHousE_ | i insert the disk into the drive and it doesnt move any further | 08:28 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: in fact if you figure ito ut, you can have the old GDM in Ubuntu, but it isn't as simple as just installing selecting it and using | 08:29 |
| willvarfar | crawler: don't remove liferea or evolution! just got locked out of ubuntu, now in windows again | 08:29 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: Yeah, trying to convince the main admin to switch to gentoo, but he's scared :/ | 08:29 |
| obsidieth | whats this about 10.10 pegging processors with older acpi instructions | 08:29 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: what kind of lab? | 08:29 |
| TeChHousE_ | thanks ejv... for looking on google for me | 08:29 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: however your on 10.04, so your not meant to have the old GDM | 08:30 |
| willvarfar | so, if you uninstall evolution and/or liferea - I did both, so I don't know if its one or the other - then when you restart gnome you have no desktop menu at all, and no internet or anything; just your background picture; couldn't work out how to undo the damage, my ubuntu is broken | 08:30 |
| chu_ | Is there anyway to turn the ubuntu software update tool off? | 08:30 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: also if your already on 10.04, and with the old screen, why not stay on that version? Its long term support | 08:30 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: A handful of random ubuntu boxes and a couple servers for the local ACM | 08:30 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: They're not at 10.04, actually >.> | 08:30 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: 10.10 offers little advantage over 10.04, except for Unity, which is for the netbook edition, but can run on a desktp as well, that was fun for me to try on desktop, with Lubuntu and such :) | 08:31 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: which version of Ubuntu? | 08:31 |
| crawler | hmm. liferea didn't come installed by default in 10.10...sorry to hear that. but this link solved the issue for me: http://superuser.com/questions/73200/remove-or-add-entry-in-indicator-applet-ubuntu-gnome | 08:31 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: 9.04? | 08:31 |
| crawler | willvarfar: see above | 08:31 |
| TeChHousE_ | Can someone help me with installation problem | 08:31 |
| willwork4foo | hi all.... I am seeing a really odd issue on Ubuntu 10.10 (Desktop) - dhcp-assigned addressing is not working for my wired connection, but it is fine on my wifi | 08:32 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: Yup. XDM theming doesn't look too bad; I might have to try porting them, or just making a new one | 08:32 |
| willwork4foo | I can't see what the issue is, gnome's network manager has nothing configured | 08:32 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: ah ha so your thinking about this now since the great (except for a feature that really got at me by default) 9.04 release is about to go end of life? | 08:32 |
| crawler | willvarfar: only empathy and evolution were in the indicator applet. but copying those files from /usr/share/blah-blah-blah worked fine. just had to log out and back in | 08:32 |
| TeChHousE_ | Can someone help me with installation problem | 08:33 |
| Ghostly | i'm trying to edit the windows 7 bootmgr in ubuntu but it doesn't recognise the file, any thing i need to install to be able to edit it? | 08:33 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: 8.04 the previous LTS is supported untill April next year on the desktop, and that has yep the old GDM | 08:33 |
| TeChHousE_ | wondering if someone will help me install Propellerhead Reason 5 (Music Production Software) on my HP Compaq 6730B Laptop which has the new Ubuntu 10.10-netbook-i386 installed on it | 08:33 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: plus now its on like 8.04.4 so should be quite stable | 08:33 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: Yeah, but the login theme is a lot less important than a number of other features; we *try* to keep on the cutting edge to inspire our members ;) | 08:34 |
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: such as? | 08:34 |
| richardcavell | Hey gang. Up until now I have always virtualised ubuntu within my Mac. However, I've decided to splash out and buy a second computer dedicated to ubuntu. I'm thinking a really cheap desktop, custom built < $500 including monitor. Intel Core 2 Duo or i3, 4 Gigs RAM, cheapest nvidia graphics card available. Anything I should look out for in terms of hardware incompatibility? | 08:35 |
| === willvarfar_ is now known as willvarfar | ||
| sebsebseb | bethebunny: most other distros are more cutting edge than Ubuntu, I guess | 08:35 |
| Khedron | richardcavell: wifi and gfx | 08:35 |
| chu_ | richardcavell: there's a post on UF about hardware compatability. I don't know if anyone has it memorized, but could be a good place to check | 08:35 |
| FridgeOfLOL | Hi, I'm considering upgrading to 10.10 from 10.4 but i'm worried it won't run as good/as stable as 10.4 is running on my old laptop | 08:35 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: Yeah, unfortunately that's becoming the case | 08:36 |
| Khedron | richardcavell: although most are generally supported these days | 08:36 |
| richardcavell | I'm thinking if I stick with Intel / Nvidia and common parts, I can't go wrong | 08:36 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: A few years ago Ubuntu was remarkable for its disregard for backwards compatability and bleeding edge repos, but more and more we're needing to try to hack in debian repositories to get the packages we need | 08:36 |
| sebsebseb | FridgeOfLOL: how old is the lap top? | 08:36 |
| FridgeOfLOL | about 5 years old but i recently upgraded the ram and hard drive | 08:37 |

| johnathan | Is there a program that one can use to get files back after deleting a ubuntu server edition installation? | 08:37 |
| Khedron | richardcavell: won't be many problems you can't sort on older/cheaper hardware | 08:37 |
| willvarfar | richardcavell: you describe my machine I'm running ubuntu on; only problem area I've had is cheap wifi sticks | 08:37 |
| Khedron | richardcavell: stick to say intel wifi cards etc, and you won't have any | 08:37 |
| richardcavell | I'm not going to run wifi on it. It will be wired. | 08:37 |

| Khedron | richardcavell: doubt you'll have any problems then | 08:38 |
| bethebunny | sebsebseb: Anyway, thanks for the help. I really hope that eventually the theming comes back to GDM, because there's a huge wealth of existing and really cool themes online. | 08:38 |
| Khedron | richardcavell: some bleeding edge graphics cards can be tetchy, but in that kind of box I doubt you would be buying a graphics card the same price ;) | 08:38 |
| richardcavell | ok thanks. Like I said I'm not going to give ubuntu an i7 and 10 Gigs of RAM and a Crysis 3-compatible gfx card. I just want to do coding and GIMP | 08:38 |
| FridgeOfLOL | 1 GB + 512mb RAM, 300 GB HD, Ubuntu 10.4 is running very well | 08:39 |
| DJones | TeChHousE_: Just looking at that software, I can only see Windows & MacOS versions listed on their website, if its just those versions and not a native linux version, you may be able to get it working using wine. If thats what you're looking to get installed, you would be better asking in the #winehq channel, they would be better able to help with installing the windows version | 08:39 |
| Khedron | richardcavell: can't see you having a problem then | 08:39 |
| FridgeOfLOL | But i'm worried 10.10 will be slow, buggy and stuff since it's so new | 08:39 |
| richardcavell | cool. Well tomorrow I'm going to have a dedicated ubuntu machine. | 08:39 |
| chu_ | Is there anyway to turn the ubuntu software update tool off? | 08:39 |
| TeChHousE_ | i used winehq on the previous version of ubuntu | 08:39 |
| TeChHousE_ | and it worked fine | 08:39 |
| chu_ | FridgeOfLOL: Is there anything that is included with 10.10 you need? Basically, why do you want to upgrade if 10.04 works (and is LTS)? | 08:40 |
| TeChHousE_ | the problem is that it is asking for the disk | 08:40 |
| TeChHousE_ | i put the disk in and it doesnt do anything | 08:40 |
| TeChHousE_ | it doesnt recognise the disk? | 08:41 |
| FridgeOfLOL | 10.4 has everything i need, | 08:41 |
| DJones | TeChHousE_: I think you're more likely to get a response in winehq then, I've not heard of the software before, hopefully they'll be able to better help you | 08:41 |
| FridgeOfLOL | i'll think i'll just stay with 10.4 | 08:41 |
| chu_ | FridgeOfLOL: I'd stay with 10.04 (I am). But I have had bad experiences with upgrading in the past, it could work, but you know the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" :) | 08:42 |
| chu_ | Plus, I really don't know what 10.10 has done differently. | 08:42 |
| TeChHousE_ | oh maybe i dont have the same version of winehq | 08:42 |
| TeChHousE_ | let me check | 08:42 |
| TeChHousE_ | ive been battling with this for 5 days now | 08:42 |

| mikebeecham | hi guys, I wonder if anyone can help. I lost the sound on my profile last night after messing with the sound preferences, and now I cannot get my sound back. Other accounts are fine though | 09:06 |
| Tribaal | I'm looking to configure the "new slapd", with dynamic configuration (via LDAP itself), does anybody have pointers regarding this? I can't find any satisfying docs out there... | 09:07 |
| vehsarc | is there text mode tool in ubuntu to manage startup/bootup services ? | 09:08 |

| Tribaal | _NinjA, SimpleAuthentication - I can bind with my LDAP well (on the user-define side of the schema), I just cnanot figure out how to actually configure the system (say, force SSL connections or configure ACL) | 09:10 |
| boghog | hello | 09:11 |
| boghog | I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.10, and every time I use a multimedia key on my keyboard (like volume up or down) my mouse button1 stops working (other buttons still work) | 09:11 |
| boghog | anyone know what's up with that? | 09:11 |
| boghog | i'm 100% sure it's not a hardware problem | 09:11 |
| boghog | welll, 99.9% | 09:11 |
| boghog | it happens on other machines as well and with completely different mice | 09:11 |
| boghog | all was fine with 10.04 | 09:12 |
| _NinjA | Tribaal: I think for a pre configured ACL you will need a good authenticator script as far as force SSL between Domains I would say Another Uniux bSD server of some sort | 09:12 |
| Rehnquist | i'm running 10.10 and i've installed Krusader. only problem: no matter what i do, i can't turn off the sounds in it, as they are the sounds from KDE. any ideas? | 09:12 |
| _NinjA | Tribaal: great question | 09:13 |
| Tribaal | _NinjA, you misread my question I believe. I'm looking for a guide on how to configure Slapd using the new dynamic configuration system (that is, the slapd daemon is now configured via LDAP, I need to know how) | 09:13 |
| Tribaal | _NinjA, I could configure the "old" slapd.conf based slapd just fine :) | 09:14 |

| scherbe | Damascene: that's funny, I'm missing 'safe graphics mode' in my 10.10 cd | 09:20 |
| maco | fep: you couldnt just hit enter or ctrl+c to get back to a prompt? | 09:20 |
| fep | maco: when i hit ctrl+c i close the program | 09:20 |
| fep | i dont want the shell to "bind" to the process | 09:20 |
| jbl | fep: have a look at the "nohup" command | 09:21 |
| fep | hmm | 09:21 |
| maco | fep: nohup means "no hangup" -- no hangup signal is sent when the shell is closed. but.. did you remember the "&" at the end? | 09:21 |
| Damascene | scherbe, I have not tried 10.10 yet | 09:21 |
| maco | fep: that is necessary to make it background so it doesnt receive the ctrl+c | 09:21 |
| maco | fep: otherwise you hit ctrl+z and type "bg" -- but thats basic job control | 09:21 |
| fep | sorry | 09:22 |
| fep | it did work | 09:22 |
| fep | thanks :) | 09:22 |
| scherbe | who has tried ubuntu 10.10 and knows how to get in the 'safe grafics mode'? (if there is one) | 09:22 |
| maco | fep: probably want to learn about job control if you dont know already... you can almost always have more than one thing running in one shell...just run them in the background | 09:22 |
| Damascene | I think if I preferred the newest I'll go with fedora. but Ubuntu stability is better. | 09:22 |
| Damascene | * better on my laptop | 09:22 |
| fep | maco: right, like a screen function with a irc client? | 09:22 |
| maco | fep: but background things run without nohup will close on shell exit | 09:22 |
| chilli0 | Hello, Is there anyway to make rhytmbox delete a file, even with out a trash folder? | 09:23 |
| fep | maco: i see, but nohup should be more than enough =) | 09:23 |
| maco | fep: well you need nohup AND background if you want to keep using the shell | 09:23 |
| maco | nohup alone keeps the shell from killing it. background lets you keep using the shell while it runs | 09:23 |
| homecable | when i wget a file why am i geting thos A's like that ? âlinux-2.6.35.7.tar.bz2â | 09:23 |
| fep | maco: it worked fine with nohup prog & , and ctrl+c, and still use the shell | 09:23 |
| antIP | Quick Question: If I want to install Flash 10.2 for 64-bit (in 10.10) should I uninstall Adobe Flash Player plugin installer 10.1.85.3Ubuntu1 first? | 09:24 |
| fep | but ctrl+z and "bg" is a good advice if it doesnt | 09:24 |
| fep | =) | 09:24 |
| maco | fep: "&" is shorthand for background | 09:24 |
| fep | ahh | 09:24 |
| fep | =] | 09:24 |
| maco | fep: if you put & at the end of a command it automatically backgrounds, whereas ctrl+z + bg are for doing it later | 09:24 |
| fep | learning every day | 09:24 |
| fep | ok, thanks, sounds logical | 09:25 |

| mikebeecham | I lost my sound last night...but it's ok in other accounts. When I type pulseaudio -k the sound comes back | 09:30 |
| mikebeecham | I guess PulseAudio is the culprit? | 09:31 |
| mikebeecham | and how can I fix? | 09:31 |
| Balsaq | maybe reinstall it? | 09:31 |
| Krishnandu | 09:31 | |
| bratkartoffel | balsaq, this isn't windows, i guess reinstalling won't fix it :D | 09:31 |
| mikebeecham | Balsaq, were you talking to me? | 09:32 |
| Balsaq | yes | 09:32 |
| mikebeecham | hmmm | 09:32 |
| mikebeecham | how would I do that? | 09:32 |
| atomzhang | reinstall the driver? | 09:32 |
| mikebeecham | synaptic and search for everything related to pulseaudio? | 09:32 |
| Balsaq | i would uncheck it in synapptic and reboot then recheck it and the nreboot | 09:33 |
| mikebeecham | if I uncheck it, wont it be removed from synaptic? | 09:33 |
| Balsaq | i did that before and it worked mikebeecham | 09:33 |
| bratkartoffel | mikebeecham: i'd remove the .pulse* files in your home directory and see if that works | 09:33 |

| popey | ubuntu: you might be able to coerce it in the bios | 09:37 |
| popolon | hi | 09:37 |
| ubuntu | no the bios is fine for arch linux and older version of ubuntu... | 09:38 |
| popolon | Does someone already managed to burn a CD or DVD with Brasero ? K3b works well, but I know nobody that had a working cd with Brasero ??? | 09:38 |
| ubuntu | besides, there is nothing in the reader so why would it mount it ? | 09:38 |
| ubuntu | sorry, detect it | 09:39 |
| popolon | Is the problem resolved in 10.10 ? | 09:39 |
| Krishnandu | popolon, It works for me....already burned almost 5CD's and 15DVD's and working fine... | 09:39 |
| popolon | Is there a verification now ? | 09:39 |
| popolon | ok, nice to read at lest one person that managed to use it ! | 09:39 |
| DJClean | is there a way to change the boot order of the init scripts somehow? | 09:40 |
| popolon | Krishnandu, do you burn on 10.10 or previous release of Ubuntu ? | 09:40 |
| popolon | I don't understand why for there is no verification mode | 09:40 |
| Krishnandu | popolon, Ya when I first burned a CD with it, it didn't worked...and after that I began to sue k3b, but surprisingly one day I tried it Brasero again and it worked..!! | 09:40 |
| Krishnandu | popolon, Lucid Lynx | 09:41 |
| mikebeecham | Balsaq, interestingly...I removed pulseaudio from synaptic and my sound came back | 09:41 |
| mikebeecham | without logging out | 09:41 |
| popolon | Ok, after a wrong update to maverick, I downgraded to lucid (didn't have iso of 10.10) and tried to burn with brasero, this definitivly failed | 09:41 |
| erraton | hi | 09:42 |
| popolon | I started again, with the same RW CD, and k3b, that worked fine at first time | 09:42 |
| jey | hi, my install of 10.10 keeps dropping my ssh connections to it after a while and doesn't let me reconnect for about a minute. any idea why? | 09:42 |
| Balsaq | mikebeecham, maybe the onboard sound has better driver support | 09:42 |
| mikebeecham | bratkartoffel, I did delete the .pulse folder from my home directory, but this did nothing | 09:42 |
| popolon | mikebeecham, this could be related to a .pulseaudio file/directory | 09:42 |
| mikebeecham | Balsaq, popolon so what should I do really? attempt to reinstall the driver or leave as is now I have sound? | 09:43 |
| popolon | there was a bug with this when upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 or from 9.10 to 10.04, don't remember exactly | 09:43 |
| bratkartoffel | mikebeecham: did you logout/login after you removed the .pulse* files? | 09:43 |

| popolon | Krishnandu, that's sad to have it by default, lot of people will think linux/ubuntu doesn't work | 09:44 |
| mikebeecham | Balsaq, well, the sound is back, so HOW it's managed I guess is irrelevant | 09:44 |
| mikebeecham | I wont even go into the problem I have with having just accidentally removed my network applet...since that was a nob move on my part!! | 09:45 |
| mikebeecham | *sigh* I'm very accident prone today, it would seem! | 09:45 |
| Balsaq | mikebeecham, it buys u time to research it more thoroughly | 09:45 |
| Krishnandu | popolon, Well, by default it works fine I think.....dunno i didn't tried after upgrading....actually I didn't upgraded yet...I'll upgrade after 2-3months...after getting the common bugs fixed | 09:45 |

| rohith | or package | 10:33 |
| rohith | ? | 10:33 |
| gp5st | ilovefairuz: i know it's older, but:( | 10:33 |
| hipitihop | I have ubuntu 10.04 which is LTS, any good reasons not to upgrade to 10.10 | 10:34 |
| rohith | @tianpuxian see http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ | 10:34 |
| gaberlunzie | rohith: i can't only do a hard shutdown/reboot in maverick, otherwise the system hangs when i try logging out or do a soft shutdown/reboot thru the menu | 10:34 |
| coz_ | Tuplad, sorry about that... I am having hardware issues...power supply going bad...I am not going to be able to stick around | 10:35 |
| gaberlunzie | rohith: the same applies when i attempt to switch or logout from a guest acct to my main acct | 10:35 |
| Tuplad | coz_: no problems, thanks for your time! | 10:35 |
| rohith | @hipitihop my system was hanging freezing randomly in 10.10 i have a lenovo laptop with intel graphics and core2duo processor | 10:35 |

| rohith | see man shutdown in terminal | 10:36 |
| === air_ is now known as vamadir | ||
| ectospasm | D'oh. I've been laboring under the misapprehension that I had focus follows mouse enabled. That explains why it wasn't working (-; | 10:36 |

| hipitihop | rohith, I see, I have a Dell studio XPS laptop | 10:37 |
| gaberlunzie | rohith: i would try it (sudo shutdown -h now) but it not proper, wouldn't u agree? | 10:37 |
| gp5st | so what's the best way to get it? use an old repo? | 10:37 |
| gaberlunzie | rohith: btw, i can force a shut down using the magic keys too | 10:37 |
| gp5st | it = libstdc++.so.5 | 10:37 |
| ectospasm | vamadir: have you played around with padevchooser, to see if you can separate the insertion event from the muting reaction? | 10:37 |
| hipitihop | ilovefairuz, thanks, reading | 10:38 |
| rohith | ohh .. try to see logs and figure out whats wrong | 10:38 |
| bobthemilkman | gp5st: I just got that file by using sudo apt-get install libstdc++-5 | 10:38 |
| rohith | i am not exactly sure about wer to look | 10:38 |
| ectospasm | gaberlunzie: how is "sudo shutdown -h" improper? | 10:38 |
| bobthemilkman | At least, icc no longer complains about not finding it. | 10:38 |
| gaberlunzie | ectospasm: because it means the menu shutdown isnt working .... it's a bug or something | 10:38 |
| gaberlunzie | ectospasm: everything "should" be working properly | 10:39 |

TIA. Please walk me through it. | 10:39 |
| vamadir | <ectospasm> i try record sound. All working but when i plug the earphones mic stop working | 10:39 |
| ectospasm | gaberlunzie: there are many ways to skin a cat. It's a problem with the GNOME panel or something | 10:39 |
| bobthemilkman | gp5st: Oh sorry, libstdc++5 | 10:39 |
| bobthemilkman | I'm in 10.10, but it should be in both repos. | 10:39 |
| ectospasm | vamadir: did you see if there's a related setting in padevchooser? | 10:39 |
| gaberlunzie | ectospasm: i'm trying to find a fix rather than a workaround | 10:40 |
| jackie89 | Oh boy | 10:40 |
| anjoe | can i upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 using CD? | 10:40 |
| * jackie89 whimpers and thumps her head | 10:40 | |
| * tripelb laffs at "bobthemilkman"'s nick. | 10:40 | |
| bobthemilkman | anjoe: It would be much easier to upgrade over the internet. | 10:40 |
| vamadir | <ectospasm> padevchooser??? | 10:40 |
| ectospasm | gaberlunzie: did you log out and log back in? | 10:40 |
| rohith | anjoe:use alternative installation disk to upgrade not regular cd | 10:40 |
| gp5st | bobthemilkman: http://pastebin.org/307462 | 10:40 |
| bobthemilkman | Is there a particular reason why you would want to not do that? | 10:41 |
| iceroot | anjoe: only with the alternate-cd | 10:41 |
| ectospasm | vamadir: aptitude -y install padevchooser, then launch it with Alt+F2 | 10:41 |
| gaberlunzie | ectospasm: i cant log out either ... hangs just like the shutdown/reboot attempts | 10:41 |
| iceroot | bobthemilkman: e.g. no internet-connection on the pc which needs the upgrade or slow internet connection or traffic-costs and so on | 10:41 |
| jackie89 | Does anybody know why after updating my ubuntu to 10.10 i can no longer access my web browser? It's the "Could not launch menu item. Failed to execute child process 'abrowser' (No such file or directory). I'm so sorry to bother again, but it'd be wonderful if somebody could help me out. | 10:41 |
| zetheroo | I am finding Ubuntu One a bit of a muddle | 10:41 |
| bobthemilkman | gp5st: By any chance, are you attempting to install icc? | 10:41 |
| anjoe | bobthemilkman: what if no internet connection? | 10:42 |
| ectospasm | gaberlunzie: enable CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE (under Preferences/Keyboard/Layout), hit it, and log back in. See if problem persists | 10:42 |
| bobthemilkman | anjoe: How are you talking to me? | 10:42 |
| tripelb | PS I'm the girl who wants to repartition the drive. I've got gparted up and ready. I am 'smart' enough to get a hand with something so potentially troubling. Lets just do it. I need to move all my data so it can be accessed by XP or Ubu. | 10:42 |
| gp5st | bobthemilkman: use, not install:( | 10:42 |
| gp5st | it worked before the upgrade and i guess we just havn't compiled anything since | 10:42 |

| anjoe | bobthemilkman: actually i want to upgrade another system . not this one | 10:43 |
| phretor | can an upstart script "start another_script FOO=value" ? | 10:43 |
| tripelb | jackie89: just cause it says that dont believe it. have you ever | 10:43 |
| gp5st | bobthemilkman: thanks | 10:43 |
| Krishnandu | BTW what do you guys suggest..?? Is it recommended to upgrade now or after a month..?? | 10:43 |
| bobthemilkman | anjoe: You don't have any ethernet cables or wireless cards? | 10:43 |

TIA. Please walk me through it. | 10:44 |
| bobthemilkman | gp5st: I'm actually trying to install icc myself. I literally installed that package on my 10.10 system about 15 seconds before you asking about it. | 10:44 |
| anjoe | iceroot: whats an alternate cd? | 10:44 |
| tripelb | ectospasm: there it is | 10:44 |
| Krishnandu | anjoe, look at the download page | 10:44 |
| rohith | anjoe : u can find it in ubuntu download servers its non gui based installation cd that doesnt have live desktop | 10:44 |
| iceroot | !alternate | anjoe | 10:44 |
| ubottu | anjoe: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 10:44 |
| Krishnandu | anjoe, without live desktop and the gui | 10:44 |
| gp5st | bobthemilkman: what sucks is that i only really need ifort because i can't get this one prog to compile with gcc, but i've never had luck mixing compilers | 10:44 |
| tripelb | jackie89: have you ever been able to run the browser. Are you running from an install. What version of Ubuntu? What browser? | 10:44 |
| ectospasm | Krishnandu: that depends, do you need new features, or you want something that's rock solid? Stick with 10.04 if you need LTS, otherwise use 10.10 | 10:44 |
| jackie89 | psycho_oreos! Oh my goodness, you're online. :D | 10:45 |
| tripelb | ectospasm: did you see my question? | 10:45 |
| rohith | anjoe : u can use it to upgrade,what you need to do is boot ubuntu for which system you want to upgrade and insert cd it will automatically asked to add cd to synaptic package manager | 10:45 |
| ectospasm | tripelb: resize the 1TB part to be just the size you want, then create new partition(s) on free space. Pretty simple with gparted. | 10:45 |
| ectospasm | tripelb: do you have a backup, just in case? | 10:45 |
| bobthemilkman | gp5st: I've had the exact same problem with gfortran. I resolved it by installing gcc-3.4. I'm now installing icc/ifort because I want my code to run faster. | 10:45 |
| FunnyFridge | Anyone know what i should do | 10:46 |
| thevishy | how to edit grub ? | 10:46 |
| jackie89 | tripelb: I'm running a newly 10.10 ubuntu and firefox browser. i was able to access it by wire and before i got assistance getting my wireless running, but ran into a bug that forced me to upgrade to 10.10. Now i can't access it. | 10:46 |
| psycho_oreos | jackie89, hello there | 10:46 |
| rohith | and after cd is added to respo you just need to type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:46 |
| bobthemilkman | gcc-3.4, I had to install from source. Although, you could find an old version from the 6.X repos, I suppose. | 10:46 |
| mikebeecham | hi guys...I've been trying to get my sound working (pulseaudio corrupted). I now have my sound working, but no longer have the volume applet on my taskbar, although indicator applet is working. Can anyone help? | 10:46 |
| jackie89 | tripelb: And thank you so much for taking interest and asking questions, i really appreciate the help. :D | 10:46 |
| Krishnandu | ectospasm, Well, I don;t need LTS, I asked that coz I see many peoples experienced a perfect Ubuntu got screwed after upgrading, so I was thinking of upgrading after a month after the bugs gets fixed. | 10:46 |
| thevishy | i have 2 problems , 1) the broadband doesnt come automatically and 2) i need to edit the grub to check if I can tweak it to make the gnome-desktop working | 10:46 |
| tripelb | Help please. I just booted from a live cd. I have an 1T HD with a big extended partition which contains a big partition-ext4-/dev/sdb5 and is 81G full. -- What I want to do is to break that up -NOT messing up the Ubuntu install on that partition!- and partition ALL the rest as NTFS so it can be read by XP or Ubu. TIA. Please walk me through it. ---- PS I've got gparted up and ready. I am 'smart' enough to get a hand with something so po | 10:46 |
| bobthemilkman | Anyway, if you ever want to give up on making ifort/icc work, it's another possibility you might want to look into. Just a bit of knowledge for you. | 10:46 |
| gp5st | bobthemilkman: it's not even faster it's just at all. so i dpkg -i that deb file and i get the same thing; did it work for you? | 10:46 |

| rohith | ectospasm: thanks | 10:48 |
| tripelb | jackie89: I'm not expert but I would reinstall. Or just install chrome. BUT before you do go to terminal and do this > killall -9 firefox and try again. | 10:48 |
| ectospasm | Krishnandu: I've never had any problems with upgrading | 10:48 |
| Krishnandu | rohith, just type first 2-3chars and press tab. | 10:48 |
| ectospasm | Krishnandu: but YMMV | 10:48 |
| bobthemilkman | gp5st: Actually, I downloaded 2 packages. First I downloaded libstdc++6-4.5-dev and then libstdc++5. It made the icc installation program quit complaining about not finding libstdc++.so.5. | 10:48 |

| ectospasm | tripelb: do you have a backup, just in case? | 10:49 |
| psycho_oreos | jackie89, it might be issue with some files.. maybe libraries or something.. either way upgrading ubuntu installs are never the best idea as they are hardly ever clean upgrades. To solve that issue would be quite daunting imo.. lots of possibilities, etc | 10:49 |

| tripelb | People -- is there a way for jackie89 to attempt to start firefox from terminal? it could be the gui is at fault. | 10:59 |
| tripelb | jackie89: Ubuntu is a project. It's not ready for prime time. But... it's a worthwhile project!!! | 10:59 |
| wisevoyager | Hi everybody! I'd like to ask anyone here who will have help me.., | 10:59 |
| rohith | tripelb: just type firefox in terminal it will open firefox | 11:00 |
| Krishnandu | !ask | wisevoyager | 11:00 |
| ubottu | wisevoyager: 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. :-) | 11:00 |
| Rehnquist | i'm running 10.10 and i've installed Krusader. only problem: no matter what i do, i can't turn off the sounds in it, as they are the sounds from KDE. any ideas? | 11:00 |
| wisevoyager | I'm looking for better sound manager for my ubuntu lucid lynx, plse give any suggestion. Thx | 11:00 |
| thevishy | hi all , the problem is that I am not getting GUI ...so I was thinking of trying noapic and noasci in the GRUB how do UI go about this ?? | 11:00 |
| ALLCAPSTOILET | th0r what do you mean bring up the vm | 11:01 |
| wisevoyager | Thank you, obutu | 11:01 |
| thevishy | why does the default ubuntu take me to boot option page ? it just tries to load the OS without going to GRUB! | 11:01 |
| jackie89 | rohith: Thank you! | 11:01 |
| gaberlunzie | ectospasm: worked good ... any way to map that solution to the logout option of the shutdown menu? | 11:01 |
| ectospasm | tripelb: not ready for prime time? My 92 year old grandfather uses Ubuntu. Can't say he'd have a clue what to do with Windows. At least Ubuntu doesn't *require* constant administration. Can't say the same for Windows. and she's gone | 11:01 |

| saboteur | hi, i'm having trouble with my NSLU2 running out of memory when installing ubuntu, it gets to the bit where it detects the disks then OOM kills my installer session | 11:39 |
| peto_ | hola | 11:39 |
| darkharmonics | saboteur try the alt installer | 11:40 |
| CameronH | k so i dont know where else to go, does anyone have any experience with ripbot264? | 11:40 |
| saboteur | darkharmonics: it's ARM platform, so it has only one... :/ | 11:40 |
| Krishnandu | isn't simply reloging will solve the JackStoner 's problem?? | 11:40 |
| JackStoner | Krishnandu, havent tried that...will do now | 11:41 |
| * JackStoner stepped out | 11:41 | |
| darkharmonics | saboteur sorry clueless on arm. Can you get to the live desktop? Maybe you can kill some processes there and make some memory | 11:43 |
| darkharmonics | It would seem to me that its more lightweight before it boots that far though | 11:44 |
| sCOTTo | Greeting Gentlemen, can someone tell me the best way of Sharing files on my network? I have MAcintosh computers on my network and the occasional Windows Machine. | 11:45 |
| darkharmonics | saboteur. I red that there is another chan that might have some help : #ubuntu-arm on freenode | 11:45 |
| Krishnandu | sCOTTo, Samba | 11:46 |
| darkharmonics | sCOTTo if you right-click a folder and enable sharing it will turn on samba | 11:46 |
| darkharmonics | you can set a username/password from the command line | 11:46 |
| JackStoner | Krishnandu, ending the session didnt help, had to reboot | 11:46 |
| sCOTTo | gents... smb is not THAT easy is it ? | 11:47 |
| sCOTTo | I need it to share without hitting me for passwords etc ;) | 11:47 |
| saboteur | darkharmonics: thanks i'll check it out | 11:47 |
| ectospasm | sCOTTo: I think that's a tall order | 11:47 |
| Krishnandu | JackStoner, Anyway enjoy :) | 11:47 |
| ectospasm | ...not to mention insecure | 11:47 |
| darkharmonics | You should really leave password on man | 11:47 |
| JackStoner | Krishnandu, ya...i guess | 11:47 |
| sCOTTo | its an internal network | 11:47 |
| sCOTTo | it will be fine. | 11:47 |
| darkharmonics | even internally | 11:47 |
| sCOTTo | it is not for anything to do with the FBI or CIA ;) | 11:48 |
| darkharmonics | just set automatica authentication on the clients | 11:48 |
| ectospasm | Win7 can't even access a read-only share open to guest without a password (or I haven't figured out how to do it. | 11:48 |
| sCOTTo | it will hold Graphics files... | 11:48 |
| Krishnandu | sCOTTo, Well, you can share files even without username and password. Look at Wiki to configure samba | 11:48 |
| Diverdude | I have a webserver with a dir on http://www.myhomeserver.com/media which i want to enumate from my client terminal. How do i do that? | 11:48 |
| sCOTTo | ok thanks | 11:48 |
| sCOTTo | guys :D | 11:48 |
| ectospasm | Diverdude: enumate? | 11:48 |
| Diverdude | enumerate | 11:48 |
| eeeris | i have a problem logging in, though i supply the correct username and password, i cant get in straight on dektop. the login screen just keep on coming back. how can i fix it? anybody? btw, i'm using lucid. | 11:48 |
| ectospasm | Diverdude: what do you mean "enumerate"? Count the files? | 11:49 |
| Krishnandu | sCOTTo, If you're afraid then just use ftp server, and mount the directories to ftp path. But that'll be really daunting task and insecure. | 11:49 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris try a terminal to make sure its not a username/password thing | 11:49 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, to list the files | 11:49 |
| sCOTTo | I will be back NEXT time I need to speak to my Intellectually Superiors ;) | 11:49 |
| ectospasm | sCOTTo: there's always NFS | 11:49 |
| sCOTTo | thanks again | 11:49 |
| sCOTTo | NFS | 11:49 |
| sCOTTo | tell me about that ? | 11:49 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal | 11:49 |
| FloodBot3 | sCOTTo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:49 |
| sCOTTo | ectospasm: | 11:49 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, i have 10 imagefiles in that dir, and i want to list them in my terminal | 11:50 |
| ectospasm | sCOTTo: Network File System, MUCH better than SMB/CIFS IMO | 11:50 |
| ectospasm | ...much more straightforward to set up. | 11:50 |
| darkharmonics | i didnt think NFS works for windows/mac shares | 11:50 |
| darkharmonics | maybe im clueless :P | 11:50 |
| sCOTTo | brb - LOUD baby cursing the world ;) | 11:51 |
| ectospasm | darkharmonics: it'll work with Mac (Mac OS X is more UNIX than Linux), probably with Winblows too, just need third-party stuff for it. | 11:51 |

| ectospasm | thevishy: that's a matter of taste | 11:52 |
| eeeris | <darkharmonics> eeeris ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal-yes, i did, i can log in using the terminal. | 11:52 |
| Zonetti | There is a way to insert 'sudo halt now' in terminal without asking for root password? Or send the password also by command? | 11:52 |
| thevishy | yeah it is ectospasm but black and pink is a matter of taste ? :P | 11:52 |
| Diverdude | i can use wget to retrieve a files from web, but how do i list files on the web? | 11:52 |
| ectospasm | Diverdude: you have some other protocol access to the webserver? | 11:53 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris ok did you have a custom video driver or Xorg.conf file? | 11:53 |

| andrzej_kacz | sooo | 11:54 |
| ectospasm | Diverdude: is it your web server? | 11:54 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, yes it is | 11:54 |
| andrzej_kacz | ikonia: Do you know where is full ubuntu theme located to be used on another distro with gnome ? | 11:54 |
| ectospasm | Diverdude: how do you upload files to it? | 11:54 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, and i can list the files in mozilla by just entering the address | 11:54 |
| fep | doesnt ubuntu unpack .rar extensions by default? | 11:54 |
| ectospasm | Diverdude: oh, then use wget | 11:54 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, i do that when i am at home | 11:54 |
| ikonia | andrzej_kacz: what ? | 11:54 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, but does wget also list files? | 11:54 |
| andrzej_kacz | ikonia: i would use ubuntu look & feel on another distro | 11:55 |
| isilion | ck Felix00 | 11:55 |
| ectospasm | if plugging in http://address.to.your.site.net/blah/blah/blah gives you a list of files, then passing that same URL to wget will give you a file with the listing. | 11:55 |
| ikonia | andrzej_kacz: get the them and install it then ? | 11:55 |

| Zonetti | There is a way to insert 'sudo halt now' in terminal without asking for root password? Or send the password also by command? | 11:56 |
| Diverdude | ectospasm, ??? | 11:56 |
| andrzej_kacz | ikonia: looking for theme..cant find it | 11:56 |
| ectospasm | Zonetti: sudo won't ask the root password | 11:56 |
| ectospasm | Zonetti: sudo will ask your nonroot user password | 11:56 |
| ectospasm | Zonetti: by default you don't set a root password in Ubuntu | 11:56 |
| Felix00 | please help me learn BASH! Something's wrong in the sintax of these if's ---> http://pastebin.org/309440 | 11:57 |
| Zonetti | ectospasm, even so, there is a way to send the password together? | 11:57 |
| eeeris | <darkharmonics> : gee, where can i find that file? sorry im a newbie.. | 11:58 |
| ectospasm | Zonetti: you can edit the sudoers file not require a password for that command. man sudoers for details. | 11:58 |
| eeeris | <darkharmonics> : gee, where can i find that file? sorry im a newbie.. | 11:58 |
| Zonetti | ectospasm, ok.. thnx | 11:58 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris sorry i was just asking basically what you think you did | 11:59 |
| ectospasm | Felix00: Nothing looks wrong there. | 11:59 |
| ectospasm | Felix00: what does it do or not do? | 11:59 |
| Felix00 | it does not execute ectospasm | 11:59 |
| Felix00 | it reads "age" and tells if equal, lesser or greaterthan 18 | 11:59 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris usually when that happens to me im playing with video drivers or cusotmizing the session | 11:59 |
| ectospasm | Felix00: you should probably use numeric comparison operators, not string | 12:00 |
| Felix00 | ./bash.sh: line 4: [1: command not found | 12:00 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris one thing you can try to generically fix your problem is to reinstall gnome-desktop | 12:00 |
| Felix00 | same for each if | 12:00 |
| thevishy | is it possible to just download and not install ? | 12:00 |
| darkharmonics | eeeris you could also try the failsafe gnome session from the login window to get in and then remove any startup items that you added | 12:01 |
| james296 | can anyone tell me how to properly display album art within nautilus from music I have saved in my music folder? | 12:01 |

| ubottu | anshrpr: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 12:35 |
| prabhu | c0nv1ct:A bot is a malicious program which has several purposes. | 12:35 |
| prabhu | They are usually told what to do by a botnet admin although many of the features now are automated. | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | tphive: You may want to lean some linuix basics first . Theres some sort of OEM feature for installers to use that can let you customize some things. Or remaster your own. ive not really seen a way to make it ask on first bootup for a username and so forth. | 12:35 |
| ectospasm | tphive: that's rather old, but it should help | 12:35 |
| c0nv1ct | prabhu, i know what a bot is | 12:36 |

| thegladiator | interesting and If its during upgrade like kernel etc is there a chance of screwing up ? | 12:38 |

| thegladiator | Yeah XP usually looks rough and tough with Power , after the file system scan everything works as usual . but Ubuntu seems a bit more non tolerant to such things . | 12:41 |

| ectospasm | that should be plenty powerful | 12:42 |

| ectospasm | I dunno the CPU, but this ancient Dell Latitude only has 256 MB RAM | 12:42 |
| tphive | Dr_Willis: I'd love to learn more linux, but I'm a Windows 7 user, and I purchased a broken netbook with a 8GB SSD with Lupus Linux with intent on reselling, and after fixing it and using it a little, I didn't want to subject the future owner to the POS distro. lol And I've had some good experiences with Ubuntu Live on occasion, so just decided on that.

| thegladiator | Gibs : does it run off the mill ? | 12:44 |
| thegladiator | GibbsNet, what are those advantage ? | 12:45 |
| jerome | yeah! | 12:45 |
| GibbsNet | She doesn't have to use menus etc. Just learn the Firefox and Evolution icons ;) | 12:45 |

| ikonia | no problem | 12:47 |
| ikonia | thegladiator: correct | 12:47 |
| GibbsNet | thegladiator: Install what you want :) | 12:47 |
| thegladiator | right :P i bought a netbook too will install on it desktop edition ! | 12:48 |

| tphive | For a normal user on a netbook with 512MB RAM and 8GB SDD, using no CLI or anything advanced, what version/distro would people actually recommend? For optimum performance and ease of use. | 12:51 |
| thegladiator | I would suggest netbook edition | 12:51 |
| tphive | That's what I thought, but I've been seeing alot of bashing on it. | 12:51 |
| thegladiator | or Alternate Distro | 12:52 |
| slidinghorn | anshrpr: ubottu is just a bot that we activated to ask you for more information. I'll look for something that might help... | 12:52 |
| thegladiator | no netbook is fine I suppose for the configs you have | 12:52 |
| tphive | What is Alternate? | 12:52 |
| thegladiator | alternate distro is also worth a try | 12:52 |
| reqem | Hi, my terminal won't won't open. What can I do to fix this? [10.10] | 12:52 |
| thegladiator | !alternate | 12:52 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 12:52 |
| thegladiator | requem what errror do u get | 12:53 |
| anshrpr | ok thnx | 12:53 |
| tphive | So... Alternate is command line ONLY? lol? Not quite what I'm looking for. | 12:53 |
| tphive | OOOOH. | 12:53 |
| tphive | No that's just for installation... | 12:53 |
| reqem | thegladiator, it looks like its about to open or maybe does for a split second and then crashes. | 12:53 |
| thegladiator | No during installation its command line ! You can install ubuntu-desktop | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas | 12:53 |
| reqem | thegladiator, this is a brand new installation btw. | 12:53 |
| slidinghorn | reqem: how are you trying to open it, and what happens when you try? | 12:54 |
| Pici | tphive: The Alternate install is still step-by-step, its not commands. | 12:54 |
| thegladiator | Yeah I would suggest try alterate 8 GB is too small but u can adjust | 12:54 |
| reqem | slidinghorn, i've tried both the keyboard shortcut and the application menu. | 12:54 |
| tphive | So what advantage does Alternate have over Desktop installation then? It is still installing the same OS, right? | 12:54 |
| thegladiator | It doesnt go heavy during installation and hence supports many hardwares | 12:54 |
| thegladiator | it uses basic command line type installation without much graphics etc | 12:55 |
| Pici | tphive: Its handy when the hardware may not work out of the box with the live environment. I personally think its faster too, but thats just my opinion. I usually use the alternate to install. | 12:55 |
| tphive | Mkay, but if the hardware is fully compatible, then there's really no advantage, except perhaaaps 'feeling' faster. | 12:56 |
| reqem | slidinghorn, oh and it just opens for a millisecond and then appears to crash. | 12:56 |
| thegladiator | reqem, if you are upto to try to kill the X session using ctrl alt backspace or f1 or something and then try the terminal from there | 12:56 |
| thegladiator | i mean you will reach non gui mode ( exit from here ) | 12:56 |
| lazarus_ | http://pastebin.com/BY18VuYW why dosent this work | 12:57 |
| GibbsNet | requem: Never heard of that before! Have you been playing around with permissions? | 12:57 |
| Pici | tphive: I mean the install is faster, not the resulting OS | 12:57 |
| tphive | Pici: Ah, I see, thanks for the help. I think I'll try using UNE for a bit, and if it just doesn't suit, I'll use desktop. | 12:59 |

The one my group is doing will have on office with only about 5 computers. I've thought about having a separate machine with Linux to work as a firewall/file server/web server/email server.

| sipior | StaRetji1: chapter 16 is probably most relevant for this question | 14:05 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: it checks if it is newer (wget) and downloads if it is newer, but I don't know how to inform bash script for further action | 14:06 |
| furi_wuff | guys, i just went into sound preferences, and after going into hardware and changing the device to change settings for the input isn't appearing in the input tab anymore. i tried selecting the previous thing but even then the input is gone. | 14:06 |
| ispirto | how can i open ubuntu in command line? | 14:06 |
| Kull | ispirto: uninstall GDM | 14:06 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: It's pretty likely that it's not possible in general to determine how old the file is without downloading it | 14:06 |
| WilliamHerry | open ubuntu? | 14:06 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: if wget -N http://www.my.com/.check; then "rest of the script simple doesn't work | 14:06 |
| ispirto | Kull, without uninstalling GDM? | 14:06 |
| a2z | ispirto: log in with recovery mode | 14:06 |
| marco32 | ispirto....on grub2 tape e and then replace quite splash with nomodeset | 14:06 |
| oskar- | ispirto: sudo chvt 1 | 14:07 |
| ispirto | marco32, a2z, it boots the ubuntu automatically, how can i see the grub window while booting? | 14:07 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: it doesn't download the file if it is not newer, however, the rest of the script doesn't know what to do next | 14:07 |
| a2z | ispirto: press shift | 14:07 |
| marco32 | press shift key | 14:07 |
| marco32 | anyhelp with vgaswitcheroo? | 14:07 |
| Kull | ispirto: hit ctrl+alt+f1 after the GDM screen loads to go directly to console | 14:07 |
| ispirto | ok thank you, let me try | 14:07 |
| ispirto | i'm trying to recovering the x server | 14:08 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: what is it that wget -N does? | 14:08 |
| ispirto | all i need to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, right? | 14:08 |
| Kull | ispirto: oh, use recovery mode | 14:08 |
| Kull | ispirto: we dont know what your problem is, so we cant answer that | 14:08 |
| ispirto | Kull, i've installed another graphic card, then i can't see the login screen anymore | 14:09 |
| === GNu is now known as Guest55546 | ||
| ispirto | it shows the screen when loading, but then it closes the monitor | 14:09 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: presumably you can provide an option to wget to specify the local filename, right? | 14:09 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: wget -N downloads the file only if it is newer than the one you have (it looks timestamp_) | 14:09 |
| CiSense | Genea, I have Maverick installed with Wubi in a 8GB folder on an NTFS partition and I need to use the space, is thier a way to automount thje partition or even specific folders when openned? | 14:09 |
| Kull | ispirto: login with recovery mode, uninstall the driver and reinstall your driver. Then run that dpkg command you mentioned. Reboot. | 14:09 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: then i guess the only timestamp you need to worry about is the local copy | 14:09 |
| Danyhenriquez | hello | 14:10 |
| ispirto | Kull, how can i uninstall a restricted driver? | 14:10 |
| Danyhenriquez | anyone here that can help a ubuntu server beginner out? | 14:10 |
| Kull | ispirto: sudo apt-get remove nameofthedriverpackage | 14:10 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: well, my brain doesn't have enough RAM to figure out this :D | 14:10 |
| amal029 | what's the difference between christian-ubuntu and ubuntu? | 14:10 |
| ispirto | Kull, the issue is i don't know what the driver name is :) | 14:10 |
| Kull | amal029: one is for people with imaginary friends. | 14:10 |
| tensorpudding | amal029: probably only branding and preloaded software | 14:10 |
| === andrzejek is now known as eter | ||
| === eter is now known as eter_surfer | ||
| amal029 | you ubuntu is for people with imginary friends? | 14:11 |
| Kull | ispirto: probably xserver-xorg-video-nameofdriver | 14:11 |
| ispirto | Kull, it's ATI driver | 14:11 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: stat can check the atime of the local copy | 14:11 |
| furi_wuff | guys, i just went into sound preferences, and after going into hardware and changing the device to change settings for the input isn't appearing in the input tab anymore. i tried selecting the previous thing but even then the input is gone. | 14:11 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: basically, I though that bash can check if file is newer and download it (which wget does), but if it is not exit the script. Obviously, wget can't do what I want, so I have to think fo workaround | 14:11 |
| Kull | amal029: Christian Ubuntu is for Christian Theists who believe that Yeshua was God. | 14:11 |
| Kull | Ubuntu is for Humans. | 14:12 |
| Danyhenriquez | im a real beginnner and i need some help regarding Ebox 2.0.5 + ubuntu server 10.04+ samba | 14:12 |
| amal029 | what the hell is Yeshua? | 14:12 |
| JackStoner | Kull, who's yeshua?? :D | 14:12 |
| nikola | amal029, ubuntu is free software, so if you want to use it to make lordoftheringsbuntu you can, under gpl | 14:12 |
| Kull | JackStoner: The name of the human for of the God of Christianity. | 14:12 |
| Kull | human form* | 14:12 |
| sipior | Kull amal029: gentlemen, pub rules here: no religion, no politics. | 14:12 |
| sebsebseb | amal029: Christian Edition is an unoffical version of Ubuntu | 14:12 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: wget -N will check the local copy for its atime, and compare it with the http server atime, and choose to download on that basis, right? | 14:12 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: hm, dunno, I can show you what script does in pm if you are willing to have a look | 14:13 |
| JackStoner | Kull, do you know anything about christianity?? | 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | amal029: There is even an unoffical Satanic edition, and an unoffical muslim edition, and so on | 14:13 |
| nikola | sebsebseb, link? | 14:13 |
| amal029 | Anyways, I was thinking of starting a new ubuntu edition, sex-bunny, anyone interested in joining? | 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | nikola: to what? | 14:13 |
| nikola | for satanic, not muslim | 14:13 |
| JackStoner | nikola, try distrowatch.com | 14:13 |
| Kull | JackStoner: of course I do, I am a theology major in Near Eastern mythology. | 14:13 |
| nikola | :D | 14:13 |
| amal029 | sex-bunny motto: All porn, all the time, howzaattt! | 14:14 |
| Kull | JackStoner: His name was not "Jesus" and he probably never even heard that word in his life. | 14:14 |
| tensorpudding | take the Yeshua discussion to #theology | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, sure is a crappy driver running on nVidia 8400gs ... the cursor is jerky , glxgears only does 124 fps in full scrn...wonder where all the support for nvidia went | 14:14 |
| JackStoner | Kull, ofcourse coz they didnt speak english then | 14:14 |
| sebsebseb | amal029: sort of funny maybe for some, but your also trolling the channel right now hmm | 14:14 |
| Kull | JackStoner: "Jesus" is not an English word. | 14:14 |
| JackStoner | anyways, this is ubuntu support channel | 14:14 |
| Danyhenriquez | @ jackstoner | 14:15 |
| Danyhenriquez | please help:P | 14:15 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: so essentially wget -N will update the local copy's atimes if there is an update, and do nothing otherwise | 14:15 |
| the_german | Kull: no it is not it is greek for "Stop Thinking" ;-) | 14:15 |
| JackStoner | ! ask | Danyhenriquez | 14:15 |
| ubottu | Danyhenriquez: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:15 |

| === hhlp is now known as os390 | ||
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: correct | 14:16 |
| nikola | JackStoner, he made the question before | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: so you can use stat to check the atimes on the local copy | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: right? | 14:16 |
| Danyhenriquez | well im running ubuntu server with ebox in VMware Workstation. I have setup samba and i can read write to the shares on the computer the VM is ruinning on, but i cannot get it to work on my computer downstaires it gives a windows code 0x80004005 | 14:16 |
| JackStoner | nikola, sorry i didnt see it, what was it about?? Sorry Danyhenriquez | 14:16 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: don't know, even if I do that, what next | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: though i guess you need some standard of comparison | 14:16 |

| veridiux | anyone have any idea what could be wrong? | 14:17 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: does wget -N return an different error code if it doesn't update? | 14:17 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: basicaly, it's playlist, it has to be downloaded and overwriteen only if it is newer (changed) | 14:17 |
| nikola | ok, technically, its not question . so Danyhenriquez ask what exact problem you hve | 14:18 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: it will just say, file not newer, not downloading, something like that, let me check | 14:18 |
| sipior | veridiux: wireless connection? | 14:18 |
| Danyhenriquez | well can anyone help me out why the windows downstaires cannot even see the shares? | 14:18 |

| _joey | how do I convert ithmb to jpeg or png files? ithmb are images captured on iphone camera | 14:19 |
| _joey | thanks | 14:19 |
| Danyhenriquez | i know it is a long explanation and a lot could be wrong | 14:19 |
| sipior | veridiux: what sort of card? | 14:19 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: stat -c '%y' <file> will return the last modification time | 14:19 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: Server file no newer than local file `.tvcheck' -- not retrieving. | 14:20 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: you probably need to keep a file locally that says when the last sync was | 14:20 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: or wait, nevermind | 14:21 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: hm, this would be tougher than I though. I really appreciate your effort mante | 14:21 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: use "stat -c '%y' .tvcheck" and save the result to a variable, then do wget -N | 14:21 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: and then do stat -c '%y' .tvcheck again, and compare | 14:21 |
| veridiux | sipior, how can i find out? its a on board realtek but i'm not sure what one | 14:21 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: if the file is replaced, it will have updated the modification time, and the results will be different | 14:22 |
| sipior | veridiux: "lspci" | 14:22 |
| StaRetji1 | tensorpudding: this way to much for me, I don't have that knowledge | 14:22 |
| oskar- | Danyhenriquez: check, if the machines are on the same ip network, if shares are accessible by IP, if host firewalls are open for ports 137-139, 445 tcp and udp | 14:22 |
| Danyhenriquez | thnx oskar ill check | 14:22 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: try it out | 14:23 |
| veridiux | sipior, RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02) | 14:23 |
| tensorpudding | StaRetji1: you know how to use variables right? | 14:23 |

| defrysk | amit, you can set the brightness there in case of using a battery | 15:30 |
| amit | defrysk, I tried it | 15:30 |
| i3 | pici | 15:30 |
| unsober | okay, can someone clue me in? I found this in my 3rd party sourc list, and I have no idea what software this might be for. http://ppa.launchpad.net/ssakar/ppa/ubuntu | 15:30 |
| amit | but its not working | 15:30 |
| unsober | any clue at all?! | 15:30 |

| Pici | i3: For what? | 15:30 |
| unsober | i'm a newbie and don't know if i should delete that entry or not | 15:31 |
| i3 | to show my pc sys info on xchat | 15:31 |
| i3 | pici | 15:31 |
| amit | defrysk, I have checked option in gnome power manager to reduce screen brightness but its not workin | 15:31 |
| Pici | i3: #xchat would be a better place to ask then. | 15:31 |
| leif | My laptop (Sony Vaio VPC EB11FM) won't resume from a suspend. It suspends fine, but when I wake it up...the thing boots up as if I had shut it off. Does anyone know what might be causing it, or should I send a bug report? (If so, what program should I use with ubuntu-bug?, thanks). | 15:31 |

| defrysk | amit, then try the brightness applet | 15:34 |
| Leif | shcherbak, Hmm...but do you have to shut it off? (Mine doesn't even complain...it just starts up happily as if I had hit the shut down button rather than the suspend one). | 15:34 |
| unsober | sebsebseb: i added it for something i needed weeks ago, and i do not know what it is there for now. | 15:34 |

| Arsanerit | Hi. Can I force a process and all it's children to run on one core only? I'm running tests for a python package (pytables), and the test hangs in a line related to inter-process communication, (/usr/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/queues.py self._recv()). It happens on multiple machines with similar, but not identical, configurations, but it does not happen on all machines. The machines where it hangs have some history of problems with software ... | 15:34 |
| Arsanerit | ... running on multiple processors. I'd like to see if the same thing happens when I use only one core. Can I do that? I don't have root. | 15:35 |
| defrysk | amit, then you have an issue | 15:35 |
| amit | yes | 15:35 |
| defrysk | maybe check the bugs and file it | 15:35 |

| xunilresu | Anyone know how install nginx, php and mysql in ubuntu 10.04 | 15:36 |
| xunilresu | ? | 15:36 |
| shcherbak | leif: I decided to live with no suspend option, there is whole bunch of threads for sony in launchpad, pity that most of them low level. | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !lamp | xunilresu | 15:36 |
| ubottu | xunilresu: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:36 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: I don't know the answer to either question... | 15:36 |
| andrew__ | question: am new to ubuntu and linix as a hole , installed ubuntu 10.04 easy as pie. Installed a LAMP stack . runs local ok , but i need to change the system to listern on port 8080. Proble , cant change any of the files as they are set to root. | 15:36 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: system > administration > synaptic package manager | 15:36 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: you're da man! as always:) | 15:36 |
| sebsebseb | ubottu: search for it, read description | 15:37 |
| ubottu | Found: | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL: i try :) | 15:37 |
| tensorpudding | xunilresu: sudo aptitude install nginx php5 mysql, probably | 15:37 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: search for it read description | 15:37 |
| marduk | Arsanerit: what question? | 15:37 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: and you do well succeeding ;) | 15:37 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: or maybe its already in the repo | 15:37 |
| shcherbak | leif: There is way to load manualy modules as fix | 15:37 |
| sebsebseb | !info ssakar | 15:37 |
| ubottu | Package ssakar does not exist in maverick | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | andrew__: you can edit any file if you run: sudo nano file or gksudo gedit file | 15:37 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: I don't know if I have cpu affinity enabled; I don't know if I have the appropiate tools. I suspect I don't have either and I will need help from my sysop in this case. | 15:37 |
| tensorpudding | xunilresu: mysql-server-5.1 looks like the trick | 15:37 |
| Thelz | Hello. Can I get write access on a Network Share when running Ubuntu Desktop from the CD? | 15:37 |

| sebsebseb | unsober: search for it in Synatpic read description | 15:38 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: search for the name of the program | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Deathspike: which version of windows? | 15:38 |
| remoteCTRL | ActionParsnip: hehehe one for all! | 15:38 |
| tensorpudding | xunilresu: which part fails? | 15:38 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: I can do one step back though. | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Deathspike: there are transform packs to make your OS look like windows, if you like | 15:38 |
| Leif | shcherbak, Thanks | 15:38 |
| Deathspike | ActionParsnip: I'm used to the Windows 7 look and absolutely love it, so Ubuntu looks a bit pale in comparison. | 15:38 |
| defrysk | amit, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 15:38 |
| tensorpudding | xunilresu: and presumably you have Lucid installed? | 15:39 |
| dajhorn | xunilresu: Linode has an IRC chanel on the oftc.net server. You might want to ask there. | 15:39 |
| Arsanerit | What might cause inter-process-communication to hang? | 15:39 |
| tensorpudding | xunilresu: does nginx start? can you see the default nginx page? | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Deathspike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcnr5-w47NE | 15:39 |
| Deathspike | ActionParsnip: I don't want to imiate Windows, just something that looks more slick/buisiness-like with brigher colors than any of the standards. Do you know anything? :) | 15:39 |

| Braber01 | I've asked in the LaTeX and I can't find a Lyx MLA Template with \documentclass[letterpaper]{article} can sombody point me in the right dirction? | 15:39 |

| sebsebseb | unsober: you installed a ppa, and you don't even know what it is for? | 15:41 |

| unsober | sebsebseb: I'm sure I knew exactly what it was for at the time of installing, I just don't remember. I just recently upgraded to 10.10, so I was going through source list | 15:41 |
| jiffe1 | tensorpudding: does it provide a full desktop though or so I just open windows by running commands on commandline? | 15:41 |
| tensorpudding | jiffe1: it's not like remote desktop though; you can't use it to control programs already running | 15:42 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: I'm running the tests for a python package (pytables) test and each time the test hangs in a test called BloscSubprocess.test_multiprocess on a line of code where the child-process tries to receive some data from its parent (in a function that is part of the Python multiprocess module). The same code runs fine on a different machine. | 15:42 |
| tensorpudding | jiffe1: the latter | 15:42 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: sudo apt-get purge name of program | 15:42 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: that will remove it properly if its installed | 15:42 |
| Shenril | hi everybody | 15:42 |
| defrysk | Deathspike, if you want to go to the dark side bit in doubt : http://linuxtrends.com/making-ubuntu-look-like-windows-7/ | 15:42 |
| sebsebseb | unsober: and then you can also remove the ppa entry | 15:42 |
| xunilresu | tensorpudding: when i try to access virtual host, taht defined in that tutorials.. | 15:42 |
| jiffe1 | tensorpudding: yeah I'm looking for something that I can get going menu driven | 15:42 |
| dajhorn | xilo: Add this line to your dhcp configuration file: prepend domain-search "example.com"; -- You can prepend or override most DHCP options like this. | 15:42 |
| defrysk | Deathspike, i tried that one and its spooky | 15:42 |
| tensorpudding | jiffe1: X11 forwarding basically allows you to run the application on the Linux machine, but the X11 bits get forwarded to the X11 server on the Windows machine | 15:42 |
| Shenril | is it me or is there a problem with the maverick source list? | 15:42 |
| j0nr | any ideas how to get wifi back? | 15:42 |
| Deathspike | defrysk: Spooky? :P | 15:42 |
| xilo | dajhorn: where is the dhcp config file | 15:42 |
| xunilresu | tensorpudding: yes, its start, i do ps aux, it's running | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jiffe1: using x forwarding is great, its kinda structured like citrix | 15:43 |
| tensorpudding | xunilresu: just making sure, but you replaced the default informatino in the tutorial with your own domain name right? | 15:43 |
| marduk | Arsanerit: i see.. python multiprocess means multiple processes not necessarily multiple processors.. so i'm not sure that cpu affinity will make a difference | 15:43 |
| defrysk | spooky as in not sure is i'm still sane when i saw the transition | 15:43 |
| uLinux | How can I downgrade a package? | 15:43 |
| Thelz | Anyone know how to give myself write access on a network share when running Ubuntu Desktop from the CD? | 15:43 |
| rohith | j0nr: what is ur problem dude? | 15:43 |
| dajhorn | xilo: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 15:43 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: I am not sure either, that's why I want to test it. | 15:43 |
| jiffe1 | tensorpudding: I couldn't use that to create a gnome desktop locally I suppose? | 15:43 |
| joe85 | I still cannot get this JDK to install. | 15:43 |
| joe85 | I am apparently missing a jinfo file. | 15:43 |
| Deathspike | defrysk: Well I don't like to make a Windows close, but I feel that so many themes lack any kind of elegance or decent color usage >.> | 15:43 |
| tensorpudding | jiffe1: if you want to do something like logging into GNOME from on the Windows machine, there's XDMCP | 15:43 |
| Deathspike | clone* | 15:44 |
| pksadiq | !java | joe85 | 15:44 |
| ubottu | joe85: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 15:44 |
| tensorpudding | jiffe1: I'm pretty sure that GDM no longer supports XDMCP though | 15:44 |
| defrysk | Deathspike, then you have to do some themeing ; | 15:44 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: I want to find out whether this problem is in hardware, kernel or software. If limiting it to one CPU would solve it, that means the problem would be somewhere in the multiprocessing code, in the kernel? (dunno) | 15:44 |
| xilo | dajhorn: ok thanks | 15:44 |
| xunilresu | yup | 15:44 |
| Deathspike | defrysk: I'm a programmer not an artist, so 100% impossible :D | 15:44 |
| dajhorn | xilo: Welcome. | 15:44 |
| j0nr | rohith: just upgraded to 10,10 and have no wifi | 15:44 |
| marduk | you can downgrade gdm and get xdmcp or use a real dm | 15:44 |
| rohith | tensorpudding: yeah u r right its simple and effective you can use xming in windows | 15:44 |
| xunilresu | tensorpudding: yup | 15:44 |
| j0nr | rohith: got a wifi symbol with red '!' | 15:44 |
| rohith | which wifi card do u use lspci | 15:45 |
| Shenril | is it me or is there a problem with the maverick source list? | 15:45 |
| defrysk | joe85, imo you have to copy the unpacked jdk folder to /usr/lib | 15:45 |
| aeon-ltd | Shenril: no, shoudln't be | 15:45 |
| Sarim | Is there any person who will help me | 15:45 |
| Sarim | ? | 15:45 |
| rohith | j0nr: which wificard do u use use lspci to know | 15:45 |
| jiffe1 | tensorpudding: yeah it doesn't look like anything is listening on port 177 | 15:45 |
| Sarim | I need some help | 15:45 |
| joe85 | defrysk, I did do that. But when I run sudo update-java-alternatives -s foldername | 15:45 |
| rohith | Sarim: just ask ur doubt no need of intro :) | 15:45 |
| j0nr | rohith: if it helps it was working fine with all previous versions | 15:45 |
| joe85 | it gives me an error stating it cannot find the jinfo file | 15:45 |
| defrysk | joe85, and then set you path in ~/.bashrc | 15:45 |
| pksadiq | Deathspike: programme? , Best style is ALT + CTRL + F1 :) | 15:45 |
| pksadiq | Deathspike: programmer ?* | 15:46 |
| defrysk | joe85, like PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/java/home | 15:46 |
| Arsanerit | marduk: How would you troubleshoot such an issue? Reproducable on one machine, but not on another. How to find out whether it's in hardware, software or kernel? | 15:46 |
| rohith | j0nr: It should be fixed by reinstalling driver | 15:46 |
| defrysk | joe85, but thats ages ago since i did that | 15:46 |
| Deathspike | Yes sure let's try that! :P | 15:46 |
| defrysk | so do some research | 15:46 |
| pksadiq | !help | Sarim | 15:47 |
| ubottu | Sarim: 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. :-) | 15:47 |
| xunilresu | tensorpudding: it is wrong ?, because i already changed all | 15:47 |

| anshrpr | someone help | 15:47 |

| ActionParsnip | !remaster | Thelz | 15:48 |
| ubottu | Thelz: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 15:48 |
| pksadiq | Thelz: write access to where? | 15:48 |
| rohith | Thelz: what write access do u need? | 15:48 |
| joe85 | defrysk, I added PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.5.0_22/ | 15:48 |
| Thelz | I need write access to a network share, so I can move the files off this harddisk | 15:48 |
| joe85 | and it makes no difference, it still trys to compile with 1.6 | 15:48 |
| unsober | What's the difference between Desktop/Server Ubuntu? is Server just more lightweight with LAMP pre-installed? | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Thelz: then change the mount options, or you can use: gksudo nautilus and get access there | 15:48 |
| Thelz | I got a harddisk with Ubuntu Server + Samba File Server on it from a computer that broke down, and I'm trying to move the files off | 15:49 |
| anshrpr | rohith : The bluetooth device is on but i can't send or recieve files. And also can't find my device from other bluetooth devices.. | 15:49 |
| Thelz | ActionParsnip: I'll try that... | 15:49 |
| dajhorn | unsober: Pretty much. You can go back and forth if you need to. | 15:49 |
| enigma1919 | hello world | 15:49 |
| unsober | back and forth? how so? | 15:49 |
| joe85 | Does anyone know how to install Java JDK 5 on Ubuntu? | 15:49 |
| Deathspike | unsober: Desktop has a lot of tools and server is really only a console with the essentials. You can download desktop stuff on server or configure desktop to be more like server whenever u want tho. | 15:49 |
| unsober | Deathspike: I see, that makes sense | 15:49 |
| rohith | anshrpr: right click on icon and click preference | 15:49 |
| Thelz | thanks ActionParsnip, that seems to cut it | 15:50 |
| defrysk | joe85, totally against safety regulations you could try http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/sun-java5-jdk/download | 15:50 |
| rohith | anshrpr: then tick make my computer visible now u will be able to find device from other pc | 15:50 |
| defrysk | joe85, at yor own risk! | 15:50 |
| tensorpudding | jiffe1: I recommend checking out FreeNX, it's a lot better than VNC | 15:50 |
| anshrpr | rohith : icon says bluetooth is on. but is disabled in preferences window | 15:50 |
| rohith | anshrpr: or other mobile to recieve file on the same window click recieve files | 15:50 |

| Abhijit | !lamp | unsober | 16:33 |
| ubottu | unsober: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:33 |

| Omarman | Howdy... has anybody else noticed that Rhythmbox loads a lot slower after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10? | 16:34 |
| Dawgmatix | no, not really okapi, but it always pays to be conservative when doing upgrades | 16:34 |
| xilo | rule of upgrading OS: don't upgrade, do clean install | 16:35 |
| xilo | goes for all OS | 16:35 |
| okapi14 | Dawgmatix: sounds good! I will....Did you try the new ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| oinkmaster42 | quit | 16:35 |
| Dawgmatix | yes | 16:35 |
| Dawgmatix | i did | 16:35 |
| unsober | Omarman: I do sense a sluggier bootup, but while it's running isn't much different for me | 16:35 |
| ravenheart | I WNAT TO UPGRADE ! i need my Software and dont wanna reconfigure everything | 16:35 |
| okapi14 | Dawgmatix: do you like it? | 16:35 |
| Dawgmatix | its the same as the old ubuntu | 16:36 |
| Dawgmatix | (for what i am doing) | 16:36 |
| Omarman | unsober, once it's running it works great... the load time is what bugs me... I guess I'll just leave it running all the time | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Then upgrade... of course its not that hard to backup any custome configs... | 16:36 |
| okapi14 | Dawgmatix: I heard it is supose to be faster.. | 16:36 |
| Dawgmatix | :) | 16:36 |
| Dawgmatix | i didnt notice any difference | 16:37 |
| Dawgmatix | in speed | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | boots up so fast.. i dont notice it either. :) | 16:37 |
| Dawgmatix | i use a raid card which inits slowly, so the linux part of the boot sequence is actually not noticeable as compared to the raid card init | 16:37 |

| a7i3n | 3 gb actually... | 16:53 |
| BichoGRILO | 32 bits machine also recognize 3gb | 16:53 |
| laosland | natively, but there is a trick that linux uses to access well above 4 Gigs | 16:54 |
| a7i3n | does this trick work in a VM? | 16:54 |
| bcurtiswx_ | so if i have an intel 64 bit machine, what architecture do I want for the install? | 16:54 |
| sipior | laosland: not just linux :-) | 16:54 |
| kamiikoneko | bcurtiswx: it technically depends on the architecture but yeah, you're looking at 3 without any workarounds | 16:54 |
| Dr_Willis | bcurtiswx_: may as well use 64bit OS for your 64bit hardware.. Unless you have some reason to need 32bit. | 16:54 |

| Dr_Willis | bcurtiswx_: 64bit OS uses that 'amd64' name because amd had it first I guess. | 16:55 |

| duncan-nz | how do I find out which package includes an mpeg-4 encoder? | 17:14 |

| thegladiator | yeah I know the command line need an applet though to keep check on temp | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | eric_: So compuiz should be working.. try installing and running the 'ccsm' or 'simple' ccsm tool/gui and enable some effects. | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !ccsm | 17:25 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 17:25 |

| Dr_Willis | How i made grub2 (in 10.10) boot various ISO files --> http://pastebin.com/jwwM6mPL | 18:00 |
| snipe | does ubuntu 10.04 have some sort of built in firewall? | 18:00 |
| Ichat | Danyhenriquez: - how do you meen the zentyal samba module? | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | snipe | 18:01 |
| ubottu | snipe: 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. | 18:01 |
| thegladiator | Dr_Willis, So this ISO where is it stored ? How does it act as Rescue ? | 18:01 |
| Danyhenriquez | i added therepos from zentyal website >http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Document/Documentation/InstallationGuide and then sudo apt-get install samba | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | thegladiator: i keep it on my /boot/ partition. it could be anywhere. grub2 has the feature to load/boot an ISO file. | 18:01 |
| ^Mike | Is there an ubuntu package for perl5.12? | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | thegladiator: i select it in the grub menu. and its as if i booted from a cd/ or flash drive | 18:01 |
| thegladiator | thats great actually . something like what I want | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all.. bbl | 18:02 |
| Ichat | Danyhenriquez: - zentyal uses a complete setup ... and functions best if you install it enterly - it than wont (ask your for the ldap cuz its already there | 18:03 |
| thegladiator | ok fine . I will contact u later I need info on how to install it | 18:03 |
| lolcat | Can grub2 boot a cd? | 18:03 |
| Danyhenriquez | @ ichat : so it is best to use the sudo apt-get install ebox-all command ? | 18:03 |
| lolcat | I can't see any diffrence between 10.10 and 10.04 | 18:04 |
| xilo | the theme | 18:04 |
| lolcat | Black and purple on both | 18:04 |
| aeon-ltd | unity gui | 18:04 |
| Ichat | Danyhenriquez: no not relly you should install the zentyal core module login and do theres from there | 18:04 |
| lolcat | Maybe a diffrent background image? | 18:04 |
| Danyhenriquez | @ ichat :ow and the install the software from within zentyal ? | 18:05 |

| creichen | Hi! Are nvidia drivers included in Ubuntu kernel packages, or do I need a separate package? (If so, what is it called?) | 18:22 |
| aeon-ltd | !nvidia | creichen | 18:23 |
| ubottu | creichen: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:23 |
| sipior | ZykoticK9: both reference a common library, which (by default) chooses the backend as "su" or "sudo" based upon the invocation. | 18:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | creichen, nvidia is separate -- use System / Admin / Hardware and install the recommended nvidia driver from there | 18:23 |

| Pici | MSPHTOILET: The packages to install for the update. | 18:37 |
| Dulak | msphtoilet: most of it is package lists, lists of software packages, and versions, so it knows about updates and the like | 18:37 |
| MSPHTOILET | What would have happened if i had unchecked the option that says something about downloading stuff? | 18:37 |
| Dulak | MSPHTOILET: it's part of the package manager and update manager processes | 18:37 |
| cristian_c | I have Epson BX300F | 18:37 |

| Licuadora | domi007> You mean the Python files? | 19:53 |
| Makkar | and when I installed win7, I intentionally left an 80gb partition available to install ubuntu to | 19:53 |
| yapsol | domi007: i see. do you have windows installed? | 19:53 |
| goltoof | yapsol: on a vm, yes. why? | 19:53 |
| sarinide | When someone has a chance I have a question regarding expanding my ubuntu "partition" after installing via Wubi | 19:53 |
| tarzeau | Makkar: and what's the question really? | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Makkar: ok then use the win7 tool to resize its own partitions to leave free space, yo can then install ubuntu to the free space, make sure your backups are sufficiently up to date in case of catastrophe | 19:53 |
| CbdGuest48925 | hello | 19:53 |
| CbdGuest48925 | hello there | 19:54 |
| Makkar | well I downloaded the 10.10 amd64 iso and put it on my 4gb pendrive, it boots from it fine, but when I go to select the partition, the 80gb partition I left available doesnt show up | 19:54 |
| domi007 | yapsol: my Hardy runs in VBox, it does work good, but in my chroot (which is in my hardy) doesn't | 19:54 |
| sarinide | hello to everyone btw | 19:54 |

| ActionParsnip | Linux_Lover: you may have to reboot, the install of wicd should automagically remove network manager | 19:54 |
| CbdGuest48925 | is there anyone to help me | 19:54 |
| CbdGuest48925 | is there anyone to help me | 19:54 |

| mayenife | yes | 19:55 |
| Gregory | hi. i installed 10.10 and used separate / and /home partitions, both formatted as ext4. The installation was successful but on reboot. ubuntu says that it cannot mount /home. I tried skipping but get nautilas errors and I get a blank desktop after login. Any reasons why the /home partition is not mounted at startup? | 19:55 |
| sarinide | Anyone to help resize my ubuntu partition after installing with wubi? | 19:55 |
| Makkar | no.. it came right from ubuntu.com.. didnt think there would be a problem with it.. heh it works.. just doesnt show me that 80gb partition I left available... it does however show up when I go into the disk utility.. even tried formatting it and mounting it, but it mounts it as a media drive or somethin.. | 19:55 |
| robehend1 | alpha: throw in a external drive, and then sudo rysnc -avru /home /media/*name of external drive* | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mayenife: can you type my name at the start of sentances aimed at me like i am to you | 19:55 |
| domi007 | yapsol: that's why I said it does work perfectly everywhere except in my virtual hardy's chroot hardy | 19:55 |
| thibaud | Hi, I've got choppy sound on my fresh 10.10 install. I've tried googling for it without success. Any idea where I could find a solution ? | 19:55 |
| robehend1 | alpha: then youll be back | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mayenife: use tab to complet the nick | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mayenife: ok what of the gnome panel? | 19:56 |

| yapsol | domi007: i didn't notice it, sorry. i have no idea of what's happening then. | 19:56 |
| yossarian | hi guys, i'd really like some help. i'm using 10.10 and i've installed Krusader, everything runs fine BUT i can't disable the sounds in it because it's a native KDE application | 19:56 |
| alpha-aquilae | robehend1: i will not loose the programs i installed using apt? | 19:56 |
| domi007 | yapsol: thanks anyway | 19:56 |
| pepee | robehend1, try this http://www.shell-fu.org/lister.php?id=54 | 19:56 |
| robehend1 | alpha: you will | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: is the client windows based? | 19:56 |
| mayenife | ActionParsnip: I would like the panel moved from the left to the bottom | 19:56 |

| alpha-aquilae | robehend1: but i don't want to | 19:57 |

| domi007 | sarinide: fire up a livecd, open partition manager and bang | 19:58 |
| tiox | Anyone got a fix? | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | robehend1: it has to be -X not -x -x means STOP X forwarding | 19:58 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu..... interesting how many people here are assuming everyone is using windows | 19:58 |
| yapsol | sarinide: or partedmagic.com | 19:58 |
| tiox | Oh also... | 19:58 |
| domi007 | sarinide: but I am not sure if it is possible at all | 19:59 |
| robehend1 | ActionParsnip: My bad, thankee. | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: i don't thats why I asked | 19:59 |
| tiox | Oh... I thought gparted couldn't be opened up unless you were under root terminal? | 19:59 |
| sarinide | ok thanks i will look at both options | 19:59 |
| mayenife | ActionParsnip: i right clicked. it doesnt respond to right click | 19:59 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: j/k | 19:59 |
| Makkar | using wubi, can I install to a partition with that ? | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: ok then you have an X server, I assume the system is a desktop system? | 19:59 |
| robehend1 | tiox: Gparted will open, but wont be able to save, unless your through root | 19:59 |
| grendal_prime | ActionParsnip, grrrr i think it was simply that i need to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? | 19:59 |
| grendal_prime | would that make sence? | 19:59 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 10.04, desktop system | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mayenife: if you use the netbook remix, i believe it doesnt support that | 20:00 |
| tiox | Now about the ACPI error... brightness change on unplug works before the OS is booted. | 20:00 |

| mayenife | ActionParsnip: ok i am. What else is limited on the netbook version? | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: ok let me websearch, the default in openssh-server is to allow x forwarding | 20:00 |
| Gregory | hi. i installed 10.10 and used separate / and /home partitions, both formatted as ext4. The installation was successful but on reboot. ubuntu says that it cannot mount /home. I tried skipping but get nautilas errors and I get a blank desktop wallpaper after login. Any reasons why the /home partition is not mounted at startup? | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: ok what command did you use to connect to the server? | 20:01 |
| tiox | domi007: I just burn a new image from Ubuntu. | 20:01 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: I see, can't be done with plain old ssh? | 20:01 |
| tiox | Rather, burn contents. | 20:01 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: ssh | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: yes it can, you just need extra options | 20:01 |
| aeon-ltd | Gregory: check your /etc/fstab file if its mounted at boot | 20:01 |
| domi007 | tiox: how? did you use remastersys? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: you need to use: ssh -X username@servername | 20:01 |
| Kartagis | !info gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-mp3-partner | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: the important bit is the -X , which turns on X forwarding for the client | 20:02 |
| tiox | No, from within a ubuntu installation, I just put a CD in and popped the image on burn:/// | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Package gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-mp3-partner does not exist in maverick | 20:02 |

| Makkar | so my answer is still to resize my windows partition to make room ? I already set aside an 80gb partition for ubuntu.. but ubuntu isnt seeing it.. it only sees 3 partitions.. my c d and e partitions... | 20:02 |
| Kartagis | Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libmp3lame. <--- how do I fix this? | 20:02 |
| Kartagis | I have lame | 20:03 |

| tiox | Not that hard. :P | 20:03 |

| Wizzard7 | Hi, I was in here lat week with a problem related to videos playing too fast (Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64). Just by chance, when I changed the default audio output device, the problem went awat. How weird is that? :) | 20:06 |
| domi007 | bye everyone, good luck Licuadora | 20:06 |
| GauravButola | i | 20:06 |
| Wizzard7 | sorry for the typos | 20:06 |
| drcode | hi all | 20:06 |
| Licuadora | domino_ thx | 20:06 |
| drcode | I have some qustions | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: its -X not -x | 20:06 |
| Makkar | ok so I just unallocated the 80gb partition I had.. so there is plenty of space for ubuntu to install to, but that partition is a logical partition on a raid array.. ubuntu isnt seeing it | 20:06 |
| drcode | from other ssh to ubuntu can I see what happend in the console it self/ | 20:07 |
| VonLipwig | Hi, quick question. Is there a way to make the bottom panel sit on the right and not look broken? | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: -x means: Disables X11 forwarding | 20:07 |
| smallfoot- | Wizzard7, the audio output device might have been equipped with a flux capacitor which distorted time time-space continuum | 20:07 |
| drcode | I mean console only | 20:07 |
| Wizzard7 | yeah, that's it LOL | 20:07 |
| aeon-ltd | Gregory: ok, try 'ctrl-alt-f1(or 2,3 etc) till you get into a vt | 20:07 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: ah | 20:07 |
| yapsol | smallfoot-: mostly because configuration files change locations often. use slackware or linux from scratch if this annoys you. | 20:07 |
| yossarian | hi guys, i'd really like some help. i'm using 10.10 and i've installed Krusader, everything runs fine BUT i can't disable the sounds in it because it's a native KDE application | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: linux is VERY VERY case sensitive, so when people give you commands, do NOT change any case | 20:07 |
| Wizzard7 | actually, the device was an old Soundblaster card... that's probably why.... | 20:07 |
| Gregory | aeon-ltd: ok | 20:07 |
| yapsol | smallfoot-: often in ubuntu | 20:07 |
| Wizzard7 | I know have a Turtle Beach card, all is well... | 20:08 |
| Makkar | why isnt ubuntu seeing the unallocated space ??? | 20:08 |
| smallfoot- | yapsol, slackware and lfs are for nerds, its not userfriendly, i just want "something that works" | 20:08 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: I'm aware of that, one reason why I love it... works now, thanks | 20:08 |
| ejv | Makkar: what does fdisk say ? | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: np man :) | 20:08 |
| yapsol | smallfoot-: i know. therefore you need to live with the problems. install the latest version of your software and you will be fine. | 20:09 |
| yossarian | help? :( | 20:09 |
| yossarian | i'll buy beers :P | 20:09 |

| yapsol | smallfoot-: sometimes you get some glitches with ubuntu, ok, i concede that. but having package management saves a lot of time | 20:10 |
| yossarian | ok, you're right | 20:10 |
| yossarian | i'll ask :) | 20:10 |
| yossarian | is there any other tool other than kcontrol? | 20:10 |

| ejv | i would fire up the livecd and use fdisk to do the partitioning | 20:12 |

| nocturna | Does anyone have a Soundblaster Audigy SE sound card? I'm thinking of getting one..but am curious if it has out-of-box support with Ubuntu? I currently have a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme and can't get it to work on ANY distro. | 20:19 |
| Makkar | if I use wubi, will it be any different ? | 20:19 |
| |GaiJin| | SuShemSu, I don't know really... but check it | 20:19 |
| === tschundeee_ is now known as tschundeee | ||
| ejv | i doubt it | 20:20 |
| Makkar | or do you suggest I just unraid my shit ? | 20:20 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i see it ran /scripts/ local-premount local-bottom init-bottom and no more | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Makkar: you can but it's not a great longterm solution | 20:20 |
| grendal_prime | ! nvidia 96 | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: i'd boot to liveCD and do a full test | 20:20 |
| xilo | ugh i might just install visio in wine... | 20:20 |
| Makkar | I do alot of gaming that is the only reason I have the raid setup in the first place... but I doubt it really effects my load times that much | 20:20 |
| FlukeThePenguin | hmm | 20:20 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: cause weirdly i can enable numlock and switch ttys | 20:20 |
| ejv | Makkar: I'm a fan of mdadm to manage my software raids; that way I don't have to reboot into the BIOS to see what's going on. | 20:20 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: also if i press ctrl+alt+del it starts the reboot process | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Makkar: ok, what mac are you installing with, there may be known issues with the hardware | 20:21 |
| FlukeThePenguin | !guidelines | 20:21 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 20:21 |
| Makkar | nah I wasnt using a mac.. was trying to install os x on my core i7.. and there was hardware issues.. | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Makkar: install mac OS on non-mac OS is against the license | 20:21 |
| dogmatic69 | hi all ive been having lots of problems with installing things | 20:22 |
| Makkar | yeah so is driving over the speed limit =oP | 20:22 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: how to perform a full test therE? | 20:22 |
| xilo | ActionParsnip: but it's not illegal | 20:22 |
| dogmatic69 | the shell just stops and then i have to kill it | 20:22 |
| === marc is now known as Guest2579 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Makkar: discussion of illegal activities is against the channel rules | 20:22 |
| ejv | he's trying to install ubuntu, not macosx. | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xilo: it is | 20:23 |
| cablop | Makkar, what is your issue exactly? | 20:23 |
| xilo | ActionParsnip: no it's not... recent US law made it legal | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: just clearing the mac thing up :) | 20:23 |
| grendal_prime | ActionParsnip, aparently there is no version of this for powerpc | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xilo: you assume s/he is from the US.... | 20:23 |
| ejv | i've already directed him to the unsupported ubuntu fakeraid guide, in his hands now ;) | 20:23 |
| regeya | ... regardless of the legality, xilo, obviously OS X != Ubuntu, which means it's OT | 20:23 |
| Makkar | some of my partitions arent showing up in ubuntu... apparently ubuntu doesnt support my software raid.. | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal_prime: no version of what? | 20:23 |
| Makkar | nah im just gonna unraid my drives and do it the ol fashion way | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Makkar: if you run: sudo lshw | less you can see your controller and then use the info to find guides | 20:24 |
| cablop | Makkar: this is something different, it depends what did you to create that raid | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | softraid sucks hard | 20:24 |
| Makkar | the mobo raid controller bios | 20:24 |
| FlukeThePenguin | bootloader didn't install ... how do i remedy that? | 20:24 |
| BEAST_MODE | what is soft raid ? | 20:24 |
| dogmatic69 | i had 3 different errors, 1)There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software ... in software center 2) E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource.... 3) cant remember it now | 20:24 |
| cablop | if the raid was created using the fakeraid onboard thing you need drivers... but cause they're almost intel... guess... they're windows only | 20:24 |
| k-rad | could anyone lend me a hand ? i'd like to get google chrome to launch again. there was on specific config file i nuked, and it allowed it to launch again (don't ask me what it was) however, it'd just bail out and cease spawning from then on out. its actually the stable version of google chrome | 20:25 |
| Makkar | well it sucks ass for your type of stuff.. it doesnt suck ass for throughput on my drives when gaming.. heh | 20:25 |
| goltoof | any simple way to get vnc to work over ssh? | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | BEAST_MODE: its where you use software to create an array, rather than a nice piece of dedicated hardware and dedicated cache | 20:25 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i'm on the live cd now... how to perform the full test? | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | goltoof | 20:25 |
| ubottu | goltoof: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 20:25 |
| ejv | you get better performance in some cases using the linux software raid, versus the mobo fake raid... | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: sudo parted -l will show the partitions | 20:25 |
| k-rad | how many minutes should i set my timer for before reasking ? | 20:26 |
| Makkar | yeah well considering 99% of my games wont run on linux, that doesnt really do me any good =oP | 20:26 |
| BEAST_MODE | ActionParsnip: instead of using your hardware in the Bios I see | 20:26 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: but won't manage them | 20:26 |
| cablop | sorry ActionParsnip | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: you can then run: sudo fsck -a /dev/partition-name | 20:26 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: thanks, i've scoured through forums and all sorts of pages, have yet to solid step-by-step | 20:26 |
| k-rad | does maverick support radeonhd, if so, what package facilitates that ? | 20:27 |
| sledges | hello | 20:27 |
| cablop | Makkar: install Disk Utility and see if you can reach those raids | 20:27 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: ok, on it | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: why are you VNCing? What do you do on the remote system? | 20:27 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i think the partition is marked as clean... so fsck took less than one second to say system is ok | 20:28 |
| robehend1 | Anyone know how I can change default permissions for home folders? Want them to be 775, not 753 | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: how big is the partition? | 20:28 |
| PKGS | Question: At the menu bar where it says "Applications", how can i rename this? | 20:28 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: good question, only answer I have now is "so I can" :) | 20:28 |
| FlukeThePenguin | anyone know where to find info on how to "fix" my ubuntu 10.10 "bootloader will not install" problem? | 20:29 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: 28GB in a PATA disk | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: yeah should be fairly quick :) | 20:29 |
| Gosha | I had this plugin activated in compiz that let me drag my mouse to the bottom corner of the screen and then all running programs on all desktops would show up in a nice grid. But I can't find it again. Does anyone know of it? | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: adding extra services makes your system less secure | 20:29 |
| SuShemSu | ty for the help guyz] | 20:29 |
| robehend1 | Any ideas on changing default home directory permissions? | 20:30 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip: VNC over ssh is less secure? | 20:30 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i runned it before... no way... :( | 20:30 |
| cylob | does anyone know software which will search through all my pdf ebooks at once and display the results nicely? | 20:31 |
| PKGS | Anyone? | 20:31 |
| robehend1 | PKGS: right click, edit menus, build your own menus with your own names | 20:31 |
| goltoof | PKGS: why? | 20:31 |
| |GaiJin| | Anyone know of a fix to the bug that makes yous internet speed slower? I am on a 20mbit broadband, but only get like 150kb/sek downloads... | 20:31 |
| robehend1 | |GaiJin|: Rebooted the router/switch, etc? or is it down to the one unit only | 20:32 |
| PKGS | goltoof: I just want to rename it to Apps instead of Applications. | 20:32 |
| xilo | |GaiJin|: what are you trying to download from? | 20:32 |
| Gosha | Oh there it is; scale. | 20:32 |
| |GaiJin| | robehend1, I've rebooter router and modem. and it is everything from apt's to newzbin, to normal browsing | 20:33 |
| yapsol | |GaiJin|: so your animu isn't downloading fast enough, heh | 20:33 |
| BEAST_MODE | oR meh need a job | 20:33 |
| robehend1 | |GaiJin|: is it only this unit, or all units on the network? | 20:33 |
| mrb_ | |gaijin|: If you're referring to the "TcpAckFrequency" registry fix in windows, there's no need or equivalence in Ubuntu for it. | 20:33 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i'm reading the boot.log... it is stopped at setting sensors limits... | 20:33 |
| |GaiJin| | only this unit | 20:34 |
| |GaiJin| | others are smooth | 20:34 |
| robehend1 | |GaiJin|: Try setting your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, see if for some reason it doesnt like the DNS | 20:34 |
| xilo | are you downloading anything on the other machines | 20:34 |
| mw2 | anyone else having problems connecting to security.ubuntu.com:80? | 20:34 |
| mw2 | telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out | 20:35 |

| === mehdi is now known as bayar | ||
| mrb_ | mw2: nope. I can see the page without problems | 20:35 |

| |GaiJin| | arg... what is the command to set the DNS? | 20:36 |
| xilo | link working for me too | 20:37 |
| robehend1 | can do it through Network manager, if your on gui. lemme look what config it is | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: then have a search around that, see if you can disable it | 20:37 |
| PKGS | Question: How do i change the default font for ubuntu, looks like arial black, I want to change it to a different font? | 20:38 |
| robehend1 | PKGS: Under preferences, appearance, font tab | 20:39 |
| Travis-42 | How can I create a software RAID 1 setup with two identical drives, after I've installed Ubuntu (the instructions seem to be only for during install)? | 20:39 |

| cylob | whats the best pdf reader for linux? im looking for functionality that allows me to search thru all my pdfs at once | 20:40 |
| k-rad | could anyone lend me a hand ? i'd like to get google chrome to launch again. there was on specific config file i nuked, and it allowed it to launch again (don't ask me what it was) however, it'd just bail out and cease spawning from then on out. its actually the stable version of google chrome | 20:40 |
| robehend1 | cylob: sounds like you'd need a database for that, to keep track of all the pdfs. | 20:40 |
| cablop | maybe i lost a hard disk... | 20:40 |
| PKGS | http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs40/i/2009/037/5/3/Mira_by_sen7.png - What font are they using that font is so awesome | 20:40 |
| goltoof | PKGS: sometimes depends on the application. ie, you can customize your terminal appearance | 20:40 |
| cylob | robehend1: acrobat for windows does it supposedly | 20:40 |

| anandaruchira | but sound and mike are not coming thru. When I click on the sound icon, no device/ driver appears. What do I do. I am completely new, installed Ubuntu today. I don't understand how to do or use “suku” - it's all over my head for now. I was a slightly above average user of windows | 20:40 |

| yossarian | thank you all, my problem was solved :) | 20:40 |
| datacrusher | how do i record a dvd with k3b if i already got the vogs | 20:41 |
| goltoof | PKGS: that is awesome :) | 20:41 |
| robehend1 | cylob: Acrobat does alot of things, supposedly ;) | 20:41 |
| anandaruchira | thanks in the meantime... can you help | 20:41 |
| datacrusher | vobs? do i create a data dvd and insert the folders, or do i insert the.vob into the folders _ts? i got an error "couldnt determine full size of file" | 20:41 |
| yossarian | i have another question, tho. i used ntfs-config to automount some ntfs drives during boot. i dunno what i did, but now i can't turn it off - even if i do, the drives still automount. where can i find the config files for it? | 20:41 |
| mrb_ | there's a built-in PDF/XPS reader in Windows which enables it to read the text-content and search in them. Not dependent on adobe reader.... I wonder if Nautilus has a module/addon to enable that.. | 20:41 |
| ikonia | datacrusher: what ar eyou trying to do ? | 20:41 |
| robehend1 | yossarian: sounds like they are in /etc/fstab, take a look | 20:41 |
| PKGS | goltoof: Isn't my desktop. Though i have the theme and conky for it all. | 20:41 |
| mrb_ | wb |Gaijin| | 20:42 |

| |GaiJin| | crazy question... might steam do something like this? | 20:42 |
| sava | seems that there is an update of the kernel on 10.04 | 20:42 |
| mrb_ | |gaijin|: steam can yank your crank, yes. | 20:42 |
| PKGS | I been searching for ages, though cant find :( | 20:42 |
| robehend1 | |GaiJin|: Steam..on linux? Does not compute | 20:42 |
| |GaiJin| | through wine | 20:42 |
| robehend1 | PKGS: Try out http://www.dafont.com | 20:42 |
| martez89 | hey, i got my ubuntu 64bit on sda1 and an extended partition on sda2. Within that extended partition there is a linux swap on sda5 and another one on sda7. Also there is a 32bit ubuntu on sda6. Can I remove one linux swap? | 20:43 |
| robehend1 | |GaiJin|: Hmm, last time I tried it in wine it was a nightmare | 20:43 |
| savanah | exit | 20:43 |
| yossarian | robehend1, can i simply delete entries from here? | 20:43 |
| ikonia | martez89: they can share 1 swap, sure | 20:43 |
| nickbp | hi, shotwell automatically loads when i plug in my phone over usb. how can i disable this? | 20:43 |
| yossarian | i'll back it up first :> | 20:43 |

| seagullarity | what is a reliable motherboard brand? | 20:43 |
| anandaruchira | hi. thanks for helping my system testing finds my sound device: 0 [VT82xx]: HDA-Intel - HDA VIA VT82xx | 20:43 |
| anandaruchira | HDA VIA VT82xx at 0xfebfc000 irq 17. but sound and mike are not coming thru. When I click on the sound icon, no device/ driver appears. | 20:43 |
| goltoof | the ones i already made? | 20:43 |
| martez89 | ikonia, how big does a swap has to be? | 20:43 |
| smallfoot- | seagullarity, ASUS, Gigabyte | 20:43 |
| Aut0ExeC | hi guys | 20:43 |
| robehend1 | yossarian: As long as your only deleting the ones that are ntfs..if you screw up Fstab, it can dismount your main filesystem. | 20:43 |
| seagullarity | thanks | 20:43 |
| Aut0ExeC | cant get my sudoers NOPASSWD to stick | 20:44 |
| robehend1 | yossarian: make sure you know what is what, use Fdisk -l to check | 20:44 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | goltoof: there's no such thing as a reliable motherboard manufacturer | 20:44 |
| Aut0ExeC | whats up with that? | 20:44 |
| === bullgard4_ is now known as bullgard4 | ||
| ikonia | martez89: it doesn't have a specific size, it should be at least the size of your ram, if not bigger | 20:44 |
| nickbp | goltoof: best way to do that is to look at user reviews | 20:44 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | maybe that's just because I only read reviews for gaming motherboards, though. | 20:44 |
| smallfoot- | seagullarity, they should have 2+ oz of copper on the PCB and japanese capacitors | 20:44 |
| yapsol | i might cite intel as one of the good motherboard manufacturers | 20:44 |
| mrb_ | martez89: if you ensure that you've changed swap-partitions on the 32-bit system to the same as the 64-bit.. sure.. | 20:44 |
| yossarian | robehend1, will do, thank you. i see that there's also the labels of each ntfs volume here so it's not much of a hassle. thanks :) | 20:44 |
| goltoof | nickbp: ? for aliases? | 20:44 |
| yapsol | you can always look for motherboards for servers | 20:45 |
| martez89 | mrb, how do I do that? | 20:45 |
| seagullarity | I'm shopping for a server board | 20:45 |
| nickbp | it automatically starts because my phone has photos on it, i would rather it didnt | 20:45 |
| yapsol | these ones are more reliable | 20:45 |
| seagullarity | something that can do IPMI | 20:45 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | yapsol: I had a 965 express MB that would lose half it's speed when you went from 2GB of ram to 4GB | 20:45 |
| robehend1 | Anyone know how to share ubuntu home folders *before* they are created? | 20:45 |
| yapsol | tyan, perhaps? | 20:45 |
| Aut0ExeC | cant get my sudoers NOPASSWD to stick. can someone please assist | 20:45 |
| nickbp | basically ubuntu has implemented windows's autorun | 20:45 |
| Aut0ExeC | robehend1: inheritance maybe? | 20:45 |
| seagullarity | is there any reason a motherboard shouldn't be compatible with linux (kubuntu 8,10 to be exact) | 20:45 |
| Muboz | Hello everyone, i have been having some trouble with my internet lately since I moved to 10.10. | 20:45 |
| ikonia | Aut0ExeC: get it to stick, does it work at all ? | 20:45 |
| ChrisBuchholz | Hey guys. How can i reset my gnome-terminal? | 20:45 |
| nickbp | and i'd like to turn it off | 20:45 |
| martez89 | mrb_, how do I do that? i forgot the _ | 20:45 |
| ikonia | seagullarity: yes, chipset, controllers, | 20:45 |
| mrb_ | martez89: "swapon" | 20:45 |
| seagullarity | the memory controller can be part of the OS | 20:46 |
| mrb_ | martez89: that's the name of the command | 20:46 |
| seagullarity | I know that's one issue | 20:46 |
| mrb_ | martez89: be sure to read the man-pages :) | 20:46 |
| robehend1 | Aut0ExeC: How can I set that up? I have home set to share em out, and went into /etc/adduser.conf to make sure the config is right | 20:46 |
| ikonia | seagullarity: it's not part of the OS - I'm talking about the hardware | 20:46 |
| ikonia | seagullarity: not all hardware has linux support | 20:46 |
| seagullarity | yea | 20:46 |
| yapsol | yes, look for tyan server motherboards. http://www.tyan.com/ | 20:46 |
| seagullarity | I can't find a list of chipset support for kubuntu 8.10 | 20:46 |
| robehend1 | Aut0ExeC: Basically, I want to be able to make the home folders on Ubuntu before the user logs in, through Active Directory. Gotta love heteroegenious envrioments | 20:46 |
| smallfoot- | seagullarity, 8.10 is old | 20:46 |
| ikonia | !hcl > seagullarity | 20:46 |
| ubottu | seagullarity, please see my private message | 20:46 |
| ikonia | 8.10 is unsupported | 20:47 |
| goltoof | i'm just trying to figure out where all the alias rules are at so i can manage them | 20:47 |
| martez89 | mrb_, i used swapon with gparted | 20:47 |
| Aut0ExeC | robehend1: modify your skeliton profile I guess | 20:47 |
| seagullarity | ubottu, thank you | 20:47 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 20:47 |
| sava | Aut0ExeC: maybe with likewise open but I dunno | 20:47 |
| Muboz | my internet on ubuntu seems to be limited to about 7Mbits/s but if i run the test on a windows machines, and or rather a vm inside the ubuntu system, it goes to the max it can which is 25/25 | 20:47 |
| goltoof | sagullarity: ubottu isn't real | 20:47 |
| juk | how to make screen go black when I lockit? I disabled auto locking | 20:48 |
| |GaiJin| | what in wine/steam can "strangle" your wireless connection? | 20:48 |
| nickbp | oh hey apparently theres a registry setting for it | 20:48 |
| sava | Muboz: see my post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1533664 the part of rwin :-) | 20:48 |
| robehend1 | Aut0ExeC: Got it, as long as I make the user names the same, it works nicely. So windows can make the files first, as long as the username is the same | 20:48 |
| nickbp | |GaiJin|: if youre refreshing servers, each server query opens a socket, some routers are poorly designed so that old sockets arent cleaned up quickly | 20:48 |
| martez89 | the current swap size is 11.25. isnt that way too big? | 20:49 |
| Aut0ExeC | robehend1: dude you have windows server integrated with linux clients? | 20:49 |
| mrb_ | martez89: how much memory do you have ? | 20:49 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | |GaiJin|: check your 'connection speed' setting in steam settings | 20:49 |
| robehend1 | Aut0ExeC: Sadly, y es. Ubuntu is authenticating via likewise, and now I'm sharing the ubuntu home folders as the windows mounted drives | 20:49 |
| juk | how to put display on sleep when locked? | 20:49 |
| goltoof | what file manages aliases? anyone? | 20:49 |

| Diverdude | is it possible to see a trace of the route the network goes when a certain webpage is downloaded? I mean a list of all switches/hubs etc. the packages went through? | 20:49 |
| Aut0ExeC | robehend1: lol... love it.. | 20:49 |
| martez89 | mrb_, 3.6gb | 20:49 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | if you set it lower than your bandwidth, the master server won't send any faster than it thinks your connection can handle. | 20:50 |
| robehend1 | Aut0ExeC: Also running LTSP on the ubuntu box, for thin clients, hence needing to make it work | 20:50 |
| Aut0ExeC | Diverdude: ever heard of traceroute? | 20:50 |
| Aut0ExeC | robehend1: ok o k | 20:50 |
| Aut0ExeC | robehend1: nice | 20:50 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | the reason it doesn't is because some dsl modem/routers will reset if they get a flood of UPD packets | 20:50 |
| mrb_ | martez89: then yes, it's a bit overkill. | 20:50 |
| goltoof | Diverdude: yes, but keep in mind they might be using tor | 20:50 |
| Diverdude | goltoof, what is tor? | 20:50 |
| Aut0ExeC | goltoof: noone uses tor anymore.... come on | 20:51 |
| flodin | how come UNE 10.10 has unison v2.32 Visa alla resultat från ubuntu.com » | 20:51 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | my crappy actiontec will do that if I set my connection speed too high :/ | 20:51 |
| Diverdude | Aut0ExeC, no, never heard of it | 20:51 |

| evident | i already upgraded the distro with do-release-upgrade, which worked... but now I want to make normal updates... | 20:54 |
| mrb_ | after having done a do-release-upgrade, did you do apt-get update? | 20:54 |

| aaron01 | What is the syntax for allowing a user to passwordless sudo for a single command, but prompt for password on all others? | 20:55 |

| evident | Aut0ExeC, i called apt-get update first, of course | 20:55 |
| Aut0ExeC | evident: why not use the upgrade manageR? | 20:55 |
| yapsol | read the wikipedia article on tor, and look for another solution if you need to | 20:55 |
| Aut0ExeC | evident: GUI? | 20:55 |

| goltoof | goltoof: tor is pretty safe, so long as you're not leaking information | 20:57 |
| yapsol | however, this would depend on the vpn provider being trustful | 20:57 |
| regeya | as an old debian user, I have to say: use the update manager. don't dist-upgrade, don't safe-upgrade, jsut use the update manager. | 20:58 |

| DCGstudios | E8newallm, fresh install, problem solved. | 21:08 |
| jemadux | AndrewMC: not working i have tried | 21:08 |

| jemadux | andreMC i have lucid | 21:08 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | I mean, I know that option exists in ubuntu server. not totally sure about ubuntu desktop | 21:08 |
| jemadux | andrewMC i got lucid | 21:08 |
| E8newallm | After a while, it goes weird | 21:08 |
| k-rad | essentially what i need is, have one folder on my desktop called "central" then in it have folders whos folder names were actually date stamps. inside those date stamps would be all things saved to my desktop for that day. under the folder whos name is date stamped would be a number of folders by which files were sorted by their extension. the folder names, would be the extension, except in caps. i'd be willing to trade a KWORL | 21:09 |

| DCGstudios | Aut0ExeC, okay ill take a look, any idea how it determines the song? | 21:10 |
| xilo | if there's no info in the song, you'd have to use a program that would compare audio | 21:10 |
| xilo | like one of those iphone apps | 21:10 |
| Aut0ExeC | DCGstudios: oh wait... it wont determine the song for you | 21:10 |
| Aut0ExeC | DCGstudios: you will have to type it in | 21:10 |
| Aut0ExeC | DCGstudios: but its cli | 21:10 |
| DCGstudios | Aut0ExeC, hmm, so i type the name in, and it will classify the title and author? | 21:10 |

| Aut0ExeC | lordofthenoobs: are people still using ndiswrapper ? | 21:20 |
| Aut0ExeC | lordofthenoobs: not sure... | 21:21 |
| DCGstudios | LjL, so musicbrains or Tunatic is better? | 21:21 |
| Aut0ExeC | lordofthenoobs: i used it a long time ago | 21:21 |
| iheartubuntu | big question... ATI or nVidia? Im looking to get a 512mb video card. Not sure which to get. Ive stuck with nvidia for a few years now, but is ATI just plug and play now? | 21:21 |
| lordofthenoobs | im not sure | 21:21 |
| Aut0ExeC | lordofthenoobs: thats always a nice option :) | 21:21 |
| lordofthenoobs | ty though at least its something i can look into | 21:21 |
| LjL | DCGstudios: err, Tunatic is Windows-only, Musicbrainz is available on Ubuntu. that was my point. | 21:21 |
| DCGstudios | LjL, ah okay | 21:21 |
| minimec | lordofthenoobs: open a console --> gnome-terminal. iwconfig gives you some info, if the card is recognized. lspci or lsusb will give you some info about your card. | 21:21 |
| semitones | hello yalls | 21:22 |
| DCGstudios | LjL, any idea how effective this musicbrainz is? these files are litterly blank information wise, the only data in them is the music itself. | 21:22 |
| Aut0ExeC | minimec: iwconfig wont give anything if no card detected bro | 21:22 |
| lordofthenoobs | i dont have that laptop infront of me but ty as well minimec | 21:23 |
| minimec | Aut0ExeC: That's exactly wht we want to find out ... ;) | 21:23 |
| semitones | is there a way I can put my display to sleep instantly? Via keyboard shortcuts or hot corners or something like that? | 21:23 |
| Aut0ExeC | minimec: bingo... 3 heads are better than 2 my friend :) | 21:23 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, you can lock screen from the session manager on the top right of your screen, by the shutdown. | 21:23 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, tjat | 21:24 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, i guess its ctrl + alt + L | 21:24 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, tjat | 21:24 |
| semitones | arg sorry | 21:24 |
| FloodBot3 | semitones: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:24 |
| smallfoot- | in windows its winkey+L | 21:24 |
| smallfoot- | why doesnt ubuntu use WinKey? | 21:24 |
| DCGstudios | becuase its not windows | 21:24 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, i'm not trying to lock the screen though, I'm just trying to turn off the display to save some battery | 21:24 |
| minimec | lordofthenoobs: Is that a integrated wifi card on that laptop? | 21:24 |
| steevo | Does anyone trust gnome shell yet | 21:24 |
| xilo | all keyboards except fancy custom ones comes with winkey | 21:25 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, you can open up gnome-power-manager probably | 21:25 |
| xilo | no reason not to use it | 21:25 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, are you on a laptop | 21:25 |
| lordofthenoobs | im not THAT technically savvy so i couldnt tell you | 21:25 |
| Aut0ExeC | minimec: lol thats a yes | 21:25 |
| lordofthenoobs | that laptop is at my friends house with a hardline to the internet since i cant use the wifi | 21:25 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, yes. There are helpful options there, but nothing like a keyboard shortcut or hotcorner that will turn the display off at my command | 21:25 |
| minimec | Aut0ExeC: Definitly ;) | 21:25 |
| Aut0ExeC | :) | 21:25 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, personally my laptop has brightness buttons on the function keys | 21:25 |
| LjL | DCGstudios: i don't really know, as back when i was using Musicbrainz, they had a different fingerprinting technology. i can only say it's geared towards identifying audio files like MP3s at relatively high quality | 21:25 |
| DCGstudios | LjL, yea these are downloading as MP4 in HQ | 21:26 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, so does mine, but those dim the display. I want to turn it completely off. Can ubuntu do that? | 21:26 |
| === _derp_ is now known as Vogue | ||
| semitones | and not after 5 minutes. now | 21:26 |
| xilo | semitones: closing the lid will do it | 21:26 |
| xilo | :P | 21:26 |
| Aut0ExeC | semitones: happens by itself | 21:27 |
| Aut0ExeC | after 5 mins | 21:27 |
| Aut0ExeC | :) | 21:27 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, if you turn the brightness all the way off, thats going to be the majority of your battery useage. | 21:27 |
| semitones | xido, lol :P it does yeah, but it also keeps the laptop from cooling through the keyboard | 21:27 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, the blacklight itself takes up more power then the actual display | 21:27 |
| xilo | semitones: ctrl+alt+l | 21:27 |
| xilo | locks the computer and turns off monitor | 21:27 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, it doesn't go all the way off, it goes dim but not completely off | 21:27 |
| lordofthenoobs | Ill get back on here when im at that laptop. ty both for your assistance | 21:27 |
| semitones | xilo, is there a way of doing it without locking? | 21:28 |
| Aut0ExeC | xilo: brilliant... I didnt knwo that | 21:28 |
| xilo | i dunno | 21:28 |
| karma_police_ | is anyone else having problems updating 10.10? | 21:28 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, well there is a way by editing a value somewhere in /proc depending on your video card | 21:28 |
| DCGstudios | semitones, im not sure id go that method unless your fairly advanced | 21:28 |
| semitones | yeah that seems like overkill | 21:28 |

| karma_police_ | 10.10 is too damn buggy | 21:35 |

| karma_police_ | gaiJin are you having poblems with the update server also? | 21:36 |
| karma_police_ | indian has no problem.. seems there aren't any arrows left | 21:36 |
| DCGstudios | lol | 21:36 |
| DCGstudios | the repo is fine, its your connection. | 21:37 |
| DCGstudios | just DL an iso and go that method | 21:37 |

| JeffJassky | any tips on how I can reformat this to FAT? | 21:38 |

| DCGstudios | karma_police_, 2nd time, what are you updating | 21:39 |
| karma_police_ | update manager.. security updates. linux headers | 21:39 |
| DCGstudios | karma_police_, have you checked your sources | 21:39 |
| karma_police_ | they are all checked... main, universe, restricted | 21:40 |
| DCGstudios | karma_police_, if your connection is really the problem, then post the output of ifconfig and iwconfig in pastebin | 21:40 |
| semitones | DCGstudios, Aut0ExeC, xilo, the command is xset dpms force standby :D :D :D :D :D | 21:40 |

| takamarou | HI all, I installed the madwifi drivers on my laptop (Running 10.04, fully patched) and got them up and running. After testing them for a few days I decided the ath5k drivers worked better. I did some research and one article said to just do a make uninstall in the madwifi directory.. Now I've rebooted and have no wifi at all. How do I reenable the ath5k drivers? Thanks. | 21:53 |
| DCGstudios | no hes in OSX with a USB mounted | 21:53 |
| Aut0ExeC | oh ok | 21:53 |

| Aut0ExeC | :) | 21:54 |
| Verminator | PKGS: assuming you just use the iso as a liveCD, no persistance, I assume all you need is ~700MB free on the USB, is this a correct assumption? | 21:54 |
| MichealH | takamarou: I imaging uninatalling them too then reinstalling | 21:54 |
| KaiForce | nm, just re-read the thread and I'm not sure wth I was talking about.... | 21:54 |

| JeffJassky | aut0exec, so I did sudo diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk3 and it mounted sucessfully. However - still no changed in my "erase" tab | 21:56 |
| takamarou | MichaelH, I never uninstalled ath5k, to my knowledge, so it should already be here I would think | 21:56 |
| takamarou | Michael, yeah I've got one. I just thought the files would already have been on my system | 21:56 |
| Aut0ExeC | hmmm | 21:57 |
| MichealH | takamarou: It may just need reconfiguring so reinstalling it from a .deb downloaded from annother computer will do | 21:57 |
| Aut0ExeC | thats crazy bro | 21:57 |

| tphive | Mkay, so I used UNE a bit last night on an Acer Aspire One 110, 1.6Ghz, 512MB RAM, 8GB SSD. The SSD is an early gen, which is quite slow. After actually using the OS for a bit, it was UNGODLY slow, and the way the HDD light was ticking away, RAM hardly used, CPU moderately so, I'm pretty sure it was the SSD capping it. So question is, is there a way to optimize UNE or desktop version for slow | 22:38 |
| tphive | SSDs? Or is there a distro that someone would suggest for this purpose? Keep in mind I'd like to keep it like ubuntu where it's very very user friendly and asthetically pleasing. Suggestions? | 22:38 |

| mage3070 | shoot | 22:39 |

| WhatTheFoo | i have no other operating system | 22:40 |
| xmad | pr0xy: If you did a fresh install the drivers should be working for your new kernel. | 22:40 |

| xilo | lilkuz2005: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 22:42 |
| nothingspecial | Anyone know what has happened to autopackage? | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Scottie: well think about it. I can't possibly know the EXACT path to setup.exe can I, so we use /path/to so that YOU can put the path and file in | 22:43 |
| xmad | pr0xy: And check if it's fixed | 22:43 |
| Blue1 | tphive: those changes will speed up linux considerably, but remember to shutdown completely when you are done. | 22:43 |
| Scottie | ActionParsnip: I do get it though, just didn't think about it before I did it. | 22:43 |
| bcbc2 | lilkuz2005: problems is lvpm hasn't been updated since ubuntu 8.04 | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Scottie: thats it, i suggest you think more :) | 22:43 |
| Scottie | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help, all the same. | 22:43 |
| xilo | tbh i'd rather install in a virtual machine if you're just going to use wubi | 22:44 |
| Devvy | I'm a bit of a new Ubuntu user here. Could someone please tell me the Terminal sudo or su command to change the super user password? I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 if that helps. Thanks. | 22:44 |
| pr0xy | xmad, how do I restart the x server? | 22:44 |
| bcbc2 | lilkuz2005: if all your data is in home you can use the script from the wubi guide to create a separate home.disk | 22:44 |
| tphive | Blue1: After installation I take it? Instead of letting it reboot? | 22:44 |
| xmad | pr0xy: ctrl+alt+space | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !nooot | Devvy | 22:45 |
| xmad | pr0xy: or backspace I forgot | 22:45 |
| area51pilot | rusivi: Thx for the link | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !noroot | Devvy | 22:45 |
| Blue1 | tphive: any time you use it. ext2 is non journaled and by carefully shutting down, you won't corrupt the filesystem | 22:45 |
| ubottu | Devvy: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 22:45 |
| bcbc2 | lilkuz2005: if you back up the root.disk first, then - if it doesn't pan out - you can revert back to the original | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Devvy: if you want a root terminal, run: sudo -i | 22:45 |
| Blue1 | tphive: also NO SWAP SPACE | 22:45 |
| tphive | Blue1: ahh, so does that mean no sleep mode? :\ | 22:45 |
| Devvy | Okay, Parsnip. Thanks. | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Devvy: 9.04 dies on the 23rd October, so you may want to consider upgrading to Karmic | 22:46 |
| detrix42 | Hello all. Is there a way to find out if my eth0 is running at 10BaseT or 100BaseT...I have a new mother board, and my router showing 10BaseT, I want to confirm this with a linux utility if one exists. | 22:46 |
| lilkuz2005 | is there any way to just take all my settings like my icons and themes and a few txt files and reinstall ubuntu with a larger filesize then put all of my settings back ? | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | detrix42: sudo lshw -C network | 22:46 |
| pr0xy | xmad ctrl+alt+backspace isn't working can I restart the computer? | 22:46 |
| xmad | pr0xy: Yea that will do too haha | 22:46 |
| detrix42 | ActionParsnip: Thanx | 22:46 |
| Devvy | Yes. I was thinking about that, but I didn't know it stopped being supported on the 23rd. I'll update right away. When I update, do I have the option of transferring all my files and drivers? | 22:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | xmad, FYI for recent Ubuntu versions the restart X hotkey (by default) is Alt+SysRq+k | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | pr0xy: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntukubuntu-10-04lucid-lynx.html | 22:47 |
| xmad | ZykoticK9: oh, thanks for the tip =) | 22:47 |
| Blue1 | tphive: it means no sleep mode, remember we are going for performance here, and swapping to ssd is VERY slow (YMMV applies) | 22:48 |
| hazard | I just installed Ubuntu on an olod box I have here, and couldn't get better than 640x800 resolution. It says there is an Nvidia driver that I could activate, but doing that didn't seem to help, and in fact made it worse in a way. | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | hazard: what nvidia chip and what release? | 22:48 |
| hazard | When I did the Nvidia one, i had to use their app to adjust things, but when I clicked on things the position of the app would slide back and forth. | 22:48 |
| Blue1 | hazard: this might help: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=325 | 22:49 |
| hazard | ActionParsnip: If I'm looking at the right part, GeForce FX 5200? | 22:49 |
| tphive | Blue1: Don't know what YMMV is. :P And is there any way to allow sleep? O.o Because on a netbook sleep is very very useful. | 22:49 |
| Blue1 | tphive: Your Mileage May Vary | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | hazard: yes, what is the output of: lsb_release -c | 22:50 |
| pokoko222 | what does ls --full i dont get it | 22:50 |
| Devvy | Do I get the option of transfering files when I upgrade? | 22:50 |
| detrix42 | hazard: you have to anticipate where the button will be when it shits | 22:50 |
| smallfoot- | plymouth doesnt show boot up screen!! | 22:50 |
| hazard | lsb_release -c | 22:50 |
| hazard | Oops. Wrong term. | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Devvy: the data will be unchanged | 22:50 |
| hazard | Codename: Karmic | 22:50 |
| tphive | Blue1: Ah, and the other part? | 22:50 |
| oskar- | pokoko222: seems a shortcut for --full-time, see manpage | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | smallfoot-: http://jurajsplayground.com/2010/04/02/fixing-plymouth-in-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx-server/ | 22:51 |
| Devvy | Thanks for the help. See you later everyone. | 22:51 |
| hazard | detrix42: That sounds right, that is exactly what I had to do. | 22:51 |
| froggyman | is it possible to turn my current Ubuntu installation (on my internal HDD) into a bootable flash drive? | 22:51 |
| Blue1 | tphive: swapping may be fast or slow on your system, it varies. | 22:51 |
| pokoko222 | oskar i did saw it but what is full time? | 22:51 |
| detrix42 | I have an FX5500 | 22:51 |
| hazard | ActionParsnip: Codename: Karmic | 22:51 |
| Blue1 | froggyman: yes | 22:51 |
| bcbc2 | lilkuz2005: you can always back up your data and settings and reinstall. The resize is designed to do all this in a single step. But as I mentioned, has some tricky bits. | 22:51 |
| coz_ | hazard, lsb_release -a will give a bit more info | 22:51 |
| froggyman | Blue1, how would I do that then? Do you have any guides for that? | 22:51 |
| Blue1 | froggyman: here's the recipe: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=51 | 22:51 |
| hazard | ActionParsnip: Though, that's a bad answer. I just remembered that I rebooted the liveCD when my efforts caused my monitor to say that the input was no supported. | 22:52 |
| tphive | Blue1: So having a swap partition is what would allow for sleep? | 22:52 |
| gosha1 | Can I start X-programs in a screen-fashion. So they keep running even if I close down my X-Session.. And then somehow reattach them when I start a new one? | 22:52 |
| froggyman | Blue1, thanks! | 22:52 |
| detrix42 | hazard: but once I finally got a flatscreen, it auto-detected the resolution properly, now I have no problems with it | 22:52 |
| oskar- | pokoko222: ls will output the time, a file has changed, with more precision | 22:52 |
| lilkuz2005 | bcb2 can you show me a tutorial on how to do this im n a rush to get to the rest room right now lol no joke but ill be right back | 22:52 |
| hazard | detrix42: That's what this is. It's a bit older, but it's a 19" Acer flat panel. | 22:52 |
| Blue1 | tphive: yes, but expect it to be quite slow. I use my usb flash adhoc, but in your situation, you probably aren't doing that. all I can say is try it. like I said, YMMV applies | 22:53 |
| detrix42 | hazard: hmmmm. | 22:53 |
| Blue1 | tphive: how much ram? | 22:53 |
| Blue1 | froggyman: welcome | 22:53 |
| hazard | detrix42: Though the Nvidia app listed it as a CRT. Which is also the problem I had with my laptop (all video working) when I tried to connect my 40" Panasonic Viera to it a couple of days ago. | 22:53 |
| tphive | Blue1 512MB. | 22:53 |
| Blue1 | tphive: as a rule of thumb, make the swap 1.5 x ram so 768 M | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hazard: seems supported by the 173 driver | 22:54 |
| pr0xy | Why doesn't the bottom bar stretch all the way across the screen? | 22:54 |
| hazard | ActionParsnip: That's what the "additional drivers" section told me too. | 22:54 |
| froggyman | Blue1, actually I think that isn't quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to basically copy my current installation onto a flashdrive, so all of my current packages will be on the flash drive | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hazard: ok then do you have nvidia-glx-173 installed/ | 22:55 |
| hazard | ActionParsnip: But after activating it, and rebooting, it was still 640x800 with no greater option. (one lesser option) | 22:55 |
| sdf34 | hello all | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hazard: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then restart X | the system | 22:55 |
| darkkrai | Virtual packages like 'google-chrome' can't be removed, how do I fix this? | 22:55 |
| lastent | Hi, have you get a iPod Sixth generation to work with ubuntu? | 22:55 |
| tphive | Blue1: Mkay, by nature how often is a swap used, and for what? Because obviously since it is an SSD, keeping the number of writes to a minimum is something to take note of. But of course sleep on a netbook is also very important too. | 22:55 |
| hazard | ActionParsnip: Ok. I'll try that as soon as I can get back into it. Back later. Thanks for the help. | 22:56 |
| Blue1 | froggyman: dunno if dd would work -- I suppse if the flash drive were the size of your partition, it would. most flash drives aren't much more then 16G without getting uber expensive | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: also, use ext2 will reduce writes | 22:56 |
| sdf34 | I have ubuntu 10.10, after some time my layout swither start to work very strange. It's switching the keyboard layout while i'm typing! So the final text becomes a mess. And i have to restart my computer to fix this problem, any idea please? | 22:56 |
| Blue1 | ActionParsnip: yeah tht's in the recipe | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: cool | 22:56 |
| teija | hey | 22:56 |
| teija | can anyone help with an ubuntu problem ? | 22:56 |
| froggyman | Blue1, well I do have a 16GB flash drive that I could use | 22:56 |
| detrix42 | hazard: I believe I fixed my issue buy manually editing the xorg.config file. I had to put in the vertical refresh and horizontal scan rate. | 22:56 |
| Blue1 | teija: depends on the problem | 22:57 |
| xmad | !ask | 22:57 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:57 |
| Android_Nerd914 | does anyone know the command to get my password i forgot it and can identify my self any help please | 22:57 |
| Android_Nerd914 | cant* | 22:57 |
| xmad | !anyone | 22:57 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:57 |
| nikola | sdf34, try to remove any aditional keyboard layouts you have | 22:57 |
| detrix42 | hazard: once I did that, the nvidia configuration utility worked. | 22:57 |
| nikola | teija, just ask | 22:57 |
| sdf34 | I cant | 22:57 |
| teija | all games on my ubuntu is really slow next to nonplayeable.. is there something i need to download ? | 22:58 |
| hazard | detrix42: On an LCD? I've never been able to find those numbers for LCDs before. I had kind of assumed that was only for CRT. | 22:58 |
| teija | meaning facebook games and so on | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Android_Nerd914, no way to retrieve password, simply log into Recovery mode and use the root account to change your users password. | 22:58 |
| wei` | exit | 22:58 |
| darkkrai | teija, you might need a 3d driver | 22:58 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | teija: flash games? are you using a 64-bit version of ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| minimec | Android_Nerd914: Boot in recovery mode and choose the root console... then 'passwd "youruser"' Change the password | 22:58 |
| Blue1 | froggyman: in order for dd to work, the destination size must be at least equal to the source size - so if your hard drive partition is less then or equal to 16G your gtg, otherwise, I'd recommend my recipe. you can rsync up the /home/ directory to the usb drive | 22:58 |
| teija | no 32 bit | 22:58 |
| nikola | sdf34, system - preferences - keyboard | 22:58 |
| teija | i dont have any 3d drivers i know of | 22:58 |
| detrix42 | hazard: no once I got my LCD I did not have any problems. \ | 22:58 |
| darkkrai | well, you need 3d acceleration | 22:59 |
| galoisfield | Android_Nerd914: u can use sudo su command and reset ur password | 22:59 |
| ubugeek | Hallo Rolli | 22:59 |
| nikola | teija - system, administration - aditional drivers | 22:59 |
| darkkrai | or else the computer tries to emulate it | 22:59 |
| darkkrai | thus, the slowness | 22:59 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | darkkrai: probably not for facebook games? | 22:59 |
| bcbc2 | lilkuz2005: I don't have a tutorial. As I said, if you use lvpm it will resize but it uninstalls grub-pc. So backup root.disk before using. Then afterwards, reinstall grub-pc making sure not to install the bootloader to /dev/sda. Then update /etc/fstab to be ext3 (since lvpm will create the new root.disk using ext3). | 22:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | darkditch, there is no 3d accelerated Flash for linux :( | 22:59 |
| Rolli | hallo an alle | 22:59 |
| darkkrai | I had that problem, anything moving was really slow | 22:59 |
| xmad | pr0xy: Did it work? | 22:59 |
| froggyman | Blue1, okay. I think I'll give your recipe a try and then rsync it | 22:59 |
| hazard | detrix42: Yeah. I don't have any CRTs left. Got rid of the last one a couple of years ago. | 22:59 |
| pr0xy | I think it did, xmad. | 22:59 |
| Blue1 | ZykoticK9: flash works quirkily in firefox on 64 bit. works fine however, in opera and chrome | 22:59 |
| bcbc2 | lilkuz2005: if it was me, I'd just backup my data and reinstall. Or migrate to a partition | 22:59 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | installing vdpau helps a little bit with certain 2D stuff that many 3D cards support | 23:00 |
| xmad | pr0xy: Nice | 23:00 |
| Blue1 | froggyman: let me know how it goes, leave me some feedback. | 23:00 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | err... I think. | 23:00 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | wait, maybe vdpau is just for video playback | 23:00 |
| darkkrai | Virtual packages like 'google-chrome' can't be removed, how do I fix this? | 23:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Inflatab1eSoulm8, vdpau is video output not used by any browser (as far as I'm aware) | 23:00 |
| weboide | Hello, I am getting kernel panics very often and randomly.. and I would like to know how I can get some debug info or log dump? | 23:01 |
| Blue1 | okay peach out for a bit | 23:01 |
| sdf34 | it's working now, thanks | 23:01 |
| detrix42 | hazard: was just a thought, that I had that problem. you may have to find a setting in the xorg.conf file to manually set???? | 23:01 |
| Blue1 | peace even | 23:01 |
| xmad | Probably his drivers are messed up | 23:01 |
| ChrisBuchholz | Hey guys. Did any big change get made between the release candidate and finale of maverick? | 23:01 |
| bodybag | hey.... | 23:02 |
| Android_Nerd914 | how do i get my password i forget it and need to indentify my nickname | 23:02 |
| froggyman | Blue1, alright. I think I'm going to just use the Startup Disk manager though that is built in so I don't have to rebooot | 23:02 |
| hazard | detrix42: After I get to where I can see it at all again, I'll try the link you already dropped, then come back if I've still failed. | 23:02 |
| Android_Nerd914 | anyone please? | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Android_Nerd914, OH IRC password you mean! | 23:02 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | Android_Nerd914: did you try the freenode website? | 23:02 |
| Android_Nerd914 | yes ZykoticK9 | 23:02 |
| Android_Nerd914 | im new to irc | 23:02 |
| Inflatab1eSoulm8 | there's probably also a nickserv/whateverserv command to have your password reset and emailed to you | 23:03 |
| detrix42 | hazard: ok, but I did not drop a link, must have been someone else. cheers | 23:03 |

| masai471 | and then use the ubuntu install to create a partition for edubuntu to be installed in, will it still use the windows boot loader? I am going abut this in a very round about way | 23:19 |
| masai471 | run wubi.exe in the drop down box? | 23:19 |
| cablop | lindows... just add ACL support for the disk, and then setup ACL permisions and defauls without changing the default behavior | 23:19 |

| bcbc2 | masai471: I meant if you run wubi.exe, which versions show up inthe dropdown box | 23:19 |

| ikonia | Magnetro: it's not a script language, it gives you the command you need to use in the error message | 23:50 |
| Magnetro | And we all know all they have to do ism "click, click, click" | 23:50 |
| Benkinooby | StaRetji, where is that file located? | 23:50 |
| bryhoyt | I've already asked this, but here it is without my life story ;-) Does grub-reboot need to write something persistent to the root FS, or can I run it from a readonly FS? | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: it's not in 10.04 | 23:50 |
| StaRetji | Benkinooby: /boot/grub/menu.lst but only with old grub. Well, thx for trying | 23:51 |
| ikonia | StaRetji: can you please stop asking | 23:51 |
| Magnetro | Tried what the message said Ikonia.. | 23:51 |
| StaRetji | ikonia: What is your problem? I need menu.lst so that I can edit it. I really don't understand you? | 23:52 |
| Benkinooby | StaRetji, this is where i was looking first becuase it always used to be there.... sorry. but still that file has to be around | 23:52 |
| ikonia | StaRetji: 1.) your problem is not supported here 2.) other peoples menus.lst won't work for you - you've been told multiple times, stop asking. what's "your" problem that you can't accept this | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | StaRetji: if you are using grub2, not only does the file not exist but you must edit grub differently | 23:52 |
| StaRetji | Benkinooby: no worries, thx man | 23:52 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: it's not in 10.04 | 23:52 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: he's using neogrub on windows, hence not supported | 23:52 |
| Magnetro | Ikonia what does dpkg, mean? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: sounds flashy, i gotcha :) | 23:53 |
| ikonia | Magnetro: dpkg is the package managment tool | 23:53 |
| Magnetro | Thanks. | 23:53 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, hm thank you. maybe i should give 10.10 a try. my 10.04 is alrdy a bit messed up ;) i only have one system, and un know "never touch a running system " ;) | 23:53 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, are you on 10.10 | 23:54 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: not at this exact moment, but I am using it | 23:54 |
| madjoe | hey guys! what's stockwine? | 23:54 |
| ikonia | madjoe: nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:54 |
| madjoe | ikonia: lol are you sure? | 23:55 |
| ikonia | madjoe: try #winehq | 23:55 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, ok. but the upstart should work the same way i guess. just that i don't have the job dependcies all that nice... | 23:55 |
| madjoe | ok, thanks | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | What program do you use to convert/edit a .3GP cell video? | 23:55 |
| === LjL is now known as lorep | ||
| ikonia | Benkinooby: it's a later implimentation | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | madjoe: I think you mean "stock wine", usually refers to a clean unchanged install of wine | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: convert to what? | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: let's say.. just about anything else.. nothing specific in mind but I want to edit it and then have a choice on the output format | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: ffmpeg -i clip.3gp -f avi -vcodec xvid -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 file.avi will convert it to avi | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | nice | 23:56 |
| madjoe | ActionParsnip: someone wrote on his status something like this: Ubuntu 10.04 + StockWine + rFactor = WIN (so I'm trying to figure out whats StackWine and rFactor) | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | madjoe: never heard of it, could ask in #winehq | 23:57 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, thank you. wow you are super busy with answering all that questions. i appreciate that. would you recommend be to use 10.10 as my productive system (laptop for studies)? i know you cant give any warranties or so, but just from your experience. | 23:57 |
| madjoe | ActionParsnip: thanks | 23:57 |
| KB1JWQ | Benkinooby: Sure. | 23:57 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: seems fine to me | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Benkinooby: Lucid is supported longer due to being LTS | 23:58 |
| Benkinooby | ActionParsnip, are LTS also more stable? | 23:58 |
| aeon-ltd | Benkinooby: yes, but not 'much' more | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Benkinooby: more effort goes into making them stabler, so i'd say yes. | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Benkinooby: its also more mature than maverick as it's only been out 9 days | 23:59 |
| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: what package is xvid in? | 23:59 |
| aeon-ltd | Benkinooby: its just that because its lts, only packages are updated, and nothing but bug fixes happens to the 'core' of ubuntu during the lts period | 23:59 |
