| Rob235 | so is it a bad idea to use my home folder from 10.04 with 10.10? | 00:02 |
| grid_ | Alpha: does it have to do with 255.255.0.0 or /16 or something? i don't know how i enter the correct value | 00:02 |

| MindVirus | Dulak: No, to the "sudo" group. | 00:28 |
| glitchd | anyone have a clue as to what the heck is wrong with pidgin today? | 00:28 |
| ikonia | MindVirus: you have to be in the admin group to use sudo | 00:28 |
| Dulak | MindVirus: ummm admin | 00:28 |
| ikonia | MindVirus: no - the admin group in #ubuntu | 00:28 |
| Dulak | MindVirus: not sure what distro you are running, but in ubuntu the sudo group is called admin | 00:28 |
| MindVirus | Dulak: Oh, that makes sense. | 00:28 |
| MindVirus | ikonia: You know your stuff which is why that #ubuntu confused me. | 00:29 |

| MindVirus | Yeah, I was thinking Debian. Ignore me. | 00:29 |
| MindVirus | Unity is still slow. Come on people. | 00:29 |
| MindVirus | And it screws with my GTK theme. | 00:29 |
| bazhang | MindVirus, file a bug | 00:30 |
| glitchd | then when it has me enter the captcha it just acts like i entered the wrong letters | 00:30 |
| MindVirus | bazhang: Nobody's even attempted to help with my problem. I don't want to file a solved bug. | 00:30 |
| Maniac` | hello, got question related to linux-wireless, anyone could help me? | 00:30 |
| slidinghorn | !ask | Maniac` | 00:30 |
| ubottu | Maniac`: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:30 |
| Dulak | MindVirus: Yeah, you'll drop it, and go to a normal gnome desktop, with 1 panel. Unity still sucks. | 00:30 |
| MindVirus | Dulak: So, most people have problems with Unity. | 00:31 |
| rohan | why does nouveau with modesetting in maverick fail? are there any known workarounds? | 00:31 |
| Dulak | MindVirus: I don't know about most, but I hated it. | 00:31 |
| slidinghorn | wow...you are by far the rudest person I've ever seen come in here seeking help. Good luck. | 00:31 |
| rohan | and since i have to disable modesetting, nouveau doesn't work | 00:31 |
| MindVirus | slidinghorn: I assume you | 00:31 |
| rohan | !nouveau | 00:31 |
| ubottu | nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia | 00:31 |
| MindVirus | 're talking to me. I'm rude, and you're bad. | 00:31 |
| NeoCicak | gday.... i have a pdf that opens fine in acrobat reader (windows)... but when i try to open it in ubuntu, it asked for password.. has anyone had this problem before? | 00:31 |
| Diverdude | Dulak, if i want to make an svn user i probably should not give him admin rights right? | 00:32 |
| bazhang | MindVirus, slidinghorn lets move on please | 00:32 |
| graingert | NeoCicak, try using pdfcrack | 00:32 |
| MindVirus | Dulak: I'm thinking I may not be alone. | 00:32 |
| NeoCicak | graingert: i tried... and it failed | 00:32 |
| MindVirus | Shame because the concept is wonderful. | 00:32 |
| Dulak | Diverdude: no, to run an svn server as a svn user you don't want to add that user to admin | 00:32 |
| MindVirus | bazhang: Most other ops are less patient. | 00:32 |
| Gryllida | How do I know what driver I am using for video card? | 00:32 |
| graingert | NeoCicak, request an un-drmed copy or use nonfree acrord | 00:33 |
| magicianlord | graingert: control panel | 00:33 |
| Diverdude | Dulak, what group should the svn user be in? | 00:33 |
| NeoCicak | graingert: non free acrord? | 00:33 |
| glitchd | ughhhhhhhhhhh pidgin is working like crap! | 00:33 |
| graingert | acroread | 00:33 |
| graingert | !acroread | 00:33 |
| Dulak | Diverdude: usually their own group, when you add a new user svn it should create a group called svn as well automatically | 00:33 |
| Gryllida | glitchd: please be more specific, if you are looking for help. | 00:34 |
| MindVirus | That's funny. | 00:34 |

| graingert | U-b-u-n-t-u, it's like a service pack | 00:35 |
| bazhang | MindVirus, sure there is | 00:35 |

| usprey | hello anyone familiar with the infamous load/unload cycle bug on battery? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/59695 | 00:43 |
| aeon-ltd | metap0d: there is a option to install side by side with windows | 00:43 |
| === iRob is now known as N00Bnl | ||
| metap0d | aeon-ltd: I'd rather it be on a separate partition though ... that option tried to combine them side by side | 00:43 |
| metap0d | aeon-ltd: I'm just confused with how to set up my root, swap and home partitions because all the documentation on the web conflicts each other | 00:44 |
| anygivenname | Dulak: wicd settings has nothing to enable so that it gets connected at boot before password entry | 00:44 |
| evilson | pardon the injection here. ubuntu installer has come a long way. Its actually pretty impressive these days. | 00:44 |
| usprey | im unfamiliar with the issue but my new machine running 10.10, intended for battery usage seems heavily affected | 00:44 |
| aeon-ltd | metap0d: oh ok, do you plan to install any other linux distro, or do you plan to ever reinstall ubuntu? | 00:44 |
| evilson | even the recovery options for an "install gone wrong" have improved | 00:44 |
| Dulak | anygivenname: It happens like that automatically for any connection you enable for all users | 00:44 |
| metap0d | aeon-ltd: Ubuntu will be my first attempt working under Linux so I really don't know if I plan to or not .. it's best to assume I might | 00:45 |
| aeon-ltd | metap0d: ok, then you need 2 partitions, how much space did you give? | 00:45 |
| evilson | metap0d, if your just breaking into linux, ubuntu is a good way to get used to a good following and support. | 00:46 |
| metap0d | evilson: I was sold based on the vast amount of documentation alone : p | 00:46 |
| metap0d | aeon-ltd: I have 40.3gb of free space to work with | 00:46 |
| Guest87216 | any guides on how to install 64 bit ubuntu on core i5 laptop? | 00:47 |
| evilson | metap0d, I design and maintain very large networks and I need to be able to "speak" to the other systems natively very frequently. Ubuntu on a laptop or two allows that pretty much out of the box without a lot of "research" | 00:48 |
| anygivenname | Dulak: how do I totally remove wicd ? | 00:48 |
| evilson | metap0d, other linux are just fine as well but do require more time and knowledge | 00:48 |

| standaman | can anyone tell me what to do with a .tar.bz2 file after i extract it? i'm trying to install a wireless adapter on my desktop computer | 00:48 |
| aeon-ltd | metap0d: ok you need a / (root) partition and a /home partition, the root should be around 8+ or up to 15-16gb, its dependant on how much applications you plan to install (i'd say 12gb is fine) then the rest for /home (which will be your userspace containing your personal data including application settings for your user | 00:49 |
| anygivenname | Dulak: as after I installed it i did not select all accounts | 00:49 |
| anygivenname | so I need to do it all over again | 00:49 |

| anygivenname | purge did not do anything new | 01:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | momentum, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" for the current driver | 01:07 |
| anygivenname | it is like remove | 01:07 |
| anygivenname | both keep files that the new installation uses | 01:07 |
| Dulak | anygivenname: purge does a remove, then also cleans any config files left behind by remove | 01:07 |
| anygivenname | so it doesnt setup properly like I need | 01:08 |
| anygivenname | well i did purge | 01:08 |
| evilson | anygivenname, check it out. | 01:08 |
| anygivenname | but then install took 3 secs | 01:08 |
| evilson | you may find that you want it later right? | 01:08 |
| momentum | ZykoticK9: nice; thanks | 01:08 |
| evilson | it resides in -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60 Jan 3 2009 /usr/sbin/wicd sooooo | 01:08 |
| anygivenname | last time install tool atleast a minute & it got me the setup screen | 01:08 |
| evilson | chmod -x /usr/sbin/wicd and just keep it | 01:09 |
| evilson | you may want it | 01:09 |
| anygivenname | this time no setup screen & I could not add the 2nd account.... | 01:09 |
| anygivenname | even after i did purge...i found the app on the Applications list | 01:10 |
| fallore | i used usb-creator to make a bootable USB with a ubuntu 10.10 .iso file, but when i boot my comp with it plugged in it doesn't start. removable devices is the first priority in the boot list, so what could be the problem? | 01:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | fallore, i don't know if this still applies! but during alpha/beta for 10.10 if you created the USB in 10.04 it would fail... | 01:11 |
| Roasted | how can I change the default perms of a directory? For example, it seems that 755 is popular with new files/folders in linux. But I dont want that, I want 775 so ANYTHING created in that dir gets 775 perms. How can I do this? | 01:12 |
| anygivenname | what's chmod ? | 01:12 |
| Roasted | changes permissions via terminal | 01:12 |
| Roasted | sudo chmod 770 etc | 01:12 |
| evilson | fallore, there are other usb bootable "gui's" out there. | 01:12 |
| evilson | google is your friend? | 01:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, umask determines default permission | 01:12 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, hm. is the umask edit-able? | 01:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, it is - but i've never bothered, hopefully someone else has - or google ;) | 01:13 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, by chance do you know if umask can be edited on a per-folder basis, or is it system wide? | 01:13 |
| evilson | its funny to be in an ubuntu channel and still seeing people use sudo. Its perfectly acceptable I just hate sudo in a single user environment. | 01:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, umask is system (shell) wide | 01:13 |
| Roasted | not sure what's wrong with sudo | 01:13 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, bummer... | 01:13 |
| Roasted | I dont want system wide. I just want it for 1 folder. | 01:14 |
| Roasted | I guess I need windows-style openness with this share and it sucks when stuff is created in 755, requires me to have to reset perms just to keep working. | 01:14 |
| dli | Roasted, you want all current files/subfolder be 775 or the default permissions for future creating | 01:14 |
| Roasted | yes, of ONE specific folder | 01:14 |
| Roasted | NOT system wide | 01:14 |
| evilson | Roasted, not really. just kill the bits on it and you should be fine | 01:14 |
| BigWookie | Is there ANY way I can configure a Tri-Head with Radeon and one Graphic card? | 01:14 |
| Roasted | evilson, kill the.. bits? | 01:15 |
| muellisoft | Roasted: I guess you want to read about chmod. | 01:15 |
| === muellisoft is now known as Muelli | ||
| evilson | Roasted, its a folder right? give me the perms on the folder. | 01:15 |
| Roasted | Muelli, I know about chmod. | 01:15 |
| Roasted | Muelli, the problem is I want two users to read/write to the same folder. They both belong to a gruop, and the perms are 770 on the folder. | 01:16 |
| Roasted | But when they create nw stuff, it comes in as 755, sot he other user cant write - only read. It's extremely frustrating to have to redo perms every efw minutes of the day. | 01:16 |
| Muelli | Roasted: read about chmod and the sticky bit. | 01:16 |
| Roasted | evilson, I do that, but in sub directories below that, and below that, and below that, it doesnt apply. | 01:16 |
| iess | sgid | 01:16 |
| Roasted | iess, already did. | 01:16 |
| Roasted | but AGAIN - group ID doesnt matter if the perms are read only - I need RW. | 01:17 |
| dli | Roasted, I think you want ' chmod 2775 /path/to/foo' | 01:17 |
| Muelli | Roasted: ah. yeah. I think I get it. hm. *thinking* Dunno if such a thing is possible. | 01:17 |
| Roasted | wheres the 2 come into play? | 01:17 |
| UnholyTerror | Roasted, : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/applying-default-permissions-for-newly-created-files-within-a-specific-folder-605129/ | 01:17 |
| Roasted | Muelli, I'd be EXTREMELY disappointed in linux if its not possible. Sounds like such a "duhhh" thing. | 01:17 |
| evilson | Roasted, add an alias to their cd 'whatever_folder' to chmod -R 'whatever' and add it to root/.bashrc as an aslias to do just be done with it... thats a lame workaround but it will work | 01:18 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: are you talking about a samba share? | 01:18 |
| dli | Roasted, if you only cares about the current files/subfolders, 'chmod -R 0775 /path/to/foo' | 01:18 |
| Roasted | samba + local | 01:18 |
| Roasted | dli, I don't understand - why are the perms you're giving me 4 digit instead of 3. why 0775, 2775, etc?? | 01:18 |
| Muelli | Roasted: nah. It's not that common I'd say. But yeah, ACLs might actually help you. They are quite flexible. | 01:18 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: on samba it should be 'create mask = 775' in the con | 01:18 |
| __cool__ | f | 01:18 |
| evilson | Roasted, sorry bro not really thinking at the moment its date night with the wife and we already had a few drinks lol | 01:18 |
| LWSDesigns | yea group permissions would look like chmod -R 755 * or g+rw | 01:18 |
| mrafcho011 | PulseAudio is using up ~30% of my CPU when playing music. Anyone know whats going on? | 01:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, FYI you can't apply "unix" permissions to samba/windows drives... | 01:19 |
| blakkheim | mrafcho011: pulseaudio is a mess, i'd just get rid of it and use alsa | 01:19 |
| Roasted | its not a windows drive | 01:19 |
| Roasted | I have 4 drives in my system, each doing something different, so Im using a mixture of samba shares (shared to other machines on ext4 file systems here locally) as well as local shares with multiple users using this rig | 01:20 |
| dli | Roasted, the '2' in '2775' means setgid for folder, you can set '4775' to setuid, and '1775' to set sticky, the system default /tmp should be 1777, for example | 01:20 |
| evilson | Roasted, is it on a windows server or other than local machine? | 01:20 |
| UnholyTerror | Roasted, : looks like you need acl... | 01:20 |
| dli | Roasted, 'man chmod' for more | 01:20 |
| Muelli | Roasted: the link says it: smth like: setfacl -R -d -m g::rwx -m o::rx /music | 01:20 |
| evilson | ahh nvm you answered my question | 01:20 |
| mrafcho011 | blakkheim: Last time i tried getting rid of pulse, i ended up only being able to play one audio stream | 01:20 |
| evilson | are they in a samba group or local / pam style? | 01:20 |
| Roasted | yeah, Muelli that's confusing as fk. I'll look at it but -r -d - a w- a- d-s -d a-sdf a-s is a little blah to look at. | 01:20 |
| Muelli | Roasted: true. ACLs are not nice to handle. But you'll manage :) | 01:21 |
| Roasted | dli, are you saying with chmod 2775 I can sticky the 775 for ALL new files/folders created as 775? Or would that not do it? | 01:21 |
| evilson | Roasted, this is an interesting deal...keep talking | 01:21 |
| Roasted | Muelli, probably not. I'll probably just *OH BURN* use windows for the share that needs to be open to the 2 users. | 01:21 |
| evilson | did you create smb groups as well | 01:21 |
| Roasted | yep | 01:21 |
| evilson | does smb handle the folder | 01:21 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: and then there is 'force create mode' and 'directory mask' .... details in 'man smb.conf' :) if you want something that works locally too, ACLs is the way to go | 01:21 |
| dli | Roasted, yes, '2775' will do it for gid, if want uid be kept as well set it '6775', or even '7775' | 01:22 |
| Muelli | Roasted: well. if you're very desperate, you can set up a cronjob :-) | 01:22 |
| Roasted | _____cool - yeah, but thats SAMBA. I want to make it happen locally too. | 01:22 |
| __cool__ | dli: that only sets the group, not the writable bit | 01:22 |
| Roasted | Muelli, thats true too... | 01:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, as UnholyTerror mentioned, i think you need ACLs to accomplish that sort of permission scheme. (i've never used ACLs but understand that's what they do) Good luck man. | 01:22 |
| Roasted | Muelli, and just look it for every 10 seconds fo the day... | 01:22 |
| DaleBKooper | Can anyone tell me why my syslog and kern.log would suddenly fill with gigs of "hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92"? I see a related bluetooth kernel bug, but I've been using my bluetooth for a while with no trouble until yesterday. | 01:22 |
| Roasted | dli, going to test this now... | 01:22 |
| evilson | then change the samba.conf and put the perms in it as a directive. If someone untars a folder in there its going to use the standard uncompression for it | 01:22 |
| dli | Roasted, for example, the system /usr/src is set to '2775' by default | 01:23 |
| dli | __cool__, 775 sets write permission for group | 01:23 |
| Roasted | dli, didnt work | 01:23 |
| Roasted | perms still comes down as 755 | 01:23 |
| evilson | user and group dli | 01:23 |
| Roasted | what a stupid problem. | 01:24 |
| Roasted | I didnt think it would require friggen ACL's and other garbage to make this fly. | 01:24 |
| Muelli | Roasted: Well, it's not. It's not very easy to solve. You can't really trust a path. | 01:24 |
| phasma | greetings, all. I need a little help with something, if possible. Anybody here familiar with the DRM/KMS issue with the Intel 845? | 01:24 |
| Roasted | I was like oh simple perm problem I'll ask in the ubuntu chat tee hee :) | 01:24 |
| evilson | Roasted, its a samba share make your permissions in the samba directives, not the folder itself with chmod | 01:24 |
| Roasted | it should be easy to solve. | 01:24 |
| Roasted | it's such a simple problem. | 01:24 |
| Roasted | I just want new stuff to bring down the permissions of the parent folder | 01:24 |
| Roasted | and it doesnt | 01:24 |
| Roasted | "anything within this folder - data - bring perms" | 01:25 |
| dli | Roasted, because system default /etc/profile already sets 'umask 022', set 'umask 002' in your ~/.bashrc | 01:25 |
| Roasted | data = 770, therefore /data/lol = 770 too | 01:25 |
| Muelli | Roasted: it's not a very simple problem :-\ | 01:25 |
| Roasted | EASY! SIMPLE! Why is it so hard. | 01:25 |
| Roasted | Muelli, It's a very simple idea. It's a very stupid problem. | 01:25 |
| __cool__ | easy&simple is not the unix way :] | 01:25 |
| Roasted | no kidding | 01:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, you're trying to apply the way MS deals with permissions to a unix system... | 01:25 |
| Roasted | might as well set this share up on windoze | 01:25 |
| LWSDesigns | are you setting file permissions for groups in your samba config | 01:25 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, so what? | 01:25 |
| Muelli | Roasted: I agree. But technically it's not. What about soft and hardlinks? You can't ignore those. | 01:25 |
| dli | Roasted, it's simple, but probably not the way of simpleness you thought | 01:25 |
| Kai696 | Howdie folks I have a problem was previously unsolved maybe someone good with mounting and unmounting drives can help? USB External drive hangs when it's tried to be accessed | 01:25 |
| Roasted | sigh | 01:26 |
| Muelli | Roasted: but anyway, if you had a separate file system, it'd be easier. | 01:26 |
| Roasted | should post a bug report for this | 01:26 |
| Roasted | would make life so much easier | 01:26 |
| Muelli | Kai696: how do you know "it hangs"? | 01:26 |
| * evilson is outta here...date night is a good thing :) | 01:27 | |
| dli | Roasted, have you tried 'umask 002'? | 01:27 |
| Roasted | dli, umask changes the entire system though, right | 01:27 |
| Muelli | dli: the problem is *per folder* not system wide | 01:27 |
| LWSDesigns | yea roasted do you have in smb.conf + | 01:27 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: the problem is, there is no solution :[ ... think: you make a file in /a/b/c... inherit perms from /a oder /a/b or /c? why? | 01:27 |
| Roasted | I suppose I could bite the bullet and do 775 across the system | 01:27 |
| c3l | I changend my user login shell with chsh. but when staring a new termina, nothing bash is still what opens.. I specified zsh. why is this? | 01:27 |
| Roasted | after all if I create a file it comes in as me:me anyway | 01:28 |
| LWSDesigns | roasted whoops have in smb.conf create mask = 0755 and directory mask = etc | 01:28 |
| Kai696 | Muelli because it shows up in disk utility but i can't access it, and it's coming up as not being able to mount because it's busy | 01:28 |
| Roasted | so 775 wouldnt be that much of a burn, especially if "my" group is empty | 01:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, applying 775 to everything would be a BAD idea | 01:28 |
| Roasted | LWSDesigns, this isnt entirely about samba, its also local too. | 01:28 |
| gantrixx | Does anyone have any idea what this error message means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/518381/ MySQL won't start | 01:28 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, I dont mean applying 775 to everything - but having 775 across the board for NEW files. | 01:28 |
| Roasted | so if I create new stuff, its 775 instead of 755 | 01:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, research umasks | 01:29 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, that's what I'm talking about | 01:29 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: mixing local access with samba acces is not optimal anyway... locking comes to mind... | 01:29 |
| LWSDesigns | i agree but if the samba user doesn't have masks set then your hopeless to open the file locally | 01:29 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, if I set the system umask to 775, whats the harm? | 01:29 |
| phasma | greetings, all. I need a little help with something, if possible. Anybody here familiar with the DRM/KMS issue with the Intel 845? | 01:29 |
| Roasted | LWSDesigns, samba is working, Im talking about the local level right now in particular. | 01:29 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: but! you could try a local smbmount to another location and access via that | 01:29 |
| Roasted | such as what, cool? | 01:29 |
| Roasted | btw cool your name is impossible to tab | 01:30 |
| Dulak | Roasted: you know the reasonable thing would be to make a script that scans the folder(s) you want to affect for files that aren't 775 and changing them to 775, and running that from cron every 5 minutes or something. | 01:30 |
| blakkheim | __cool__: | 01:30 |
| blakkheim | worked for me | 01:30 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: here it works 'coo<tab>' | 01:30 |
| Roasted | Dulak, yeah, I suppose I could do that, but thats just such a half ass way of making things work. | 01:30 |
| Roasted | not here | 01:30 |
| Dulak | Roasted: not really, you only care about a few folders | 01:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, from umask i'm not really sure, but i though you where going to just recursively apply a 775 chmod and that wouldn't be to cool. FYI umask is recorded in a subtraction from what you want (or something, it's kinda backwards from normal) | 01:30 |
| Muelli | Roasted: you could as well think about a tiny FUSE to mount over your location. Or mount --bind another folder. Then you can influence those permission properties more easily | 01:31 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, yeah, I see that from what Im reading. I'm not talking about recursively barfing out 775. I'm just saying if I cahnge the umask to be 775, it would only effect new files/folders, whereas before it would be 755. | 01:31 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: i mean you samba-mount the share on the local machine to somthing like /mnt/loopy ... then all acces goes through samba and respects the samba mask | 01:31 |
| nucleus | how can i remove the lines when i minimize a window without compiz in gnome? | 01:31 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, with that being said, if I create a new folder/file, it comes in as me:me 755 anyway. so if it comes in as me:me 775, whats the harm if my group has no members? | 01:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, sounds fine to me (but i don't really know umask stuff) | 01:32 |
| Muelli | Roasted: I'm afraid your questions blows too many minds in here ;) Too much noise for you ;-) | 01:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, your group always has you ;) | 01:32 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, not by default. | 01:33 |
| === epicbig is now known as biagidp | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, LOL - i think that the home directories are world readable by default in Ubuntu is terrible! this is kinda related to that. | 01:33 |
| indio | Hi. I upgraded to Maverick Meerkat and my OpenOffice.org Impress sounds stopped working. Any hints? | 01:33 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, yeah they are - I set my home dir to 770... | 01:33 |
| Muelli | well ZykoticK9. default umask sets your permissions to 755. Hence all the files you create are world readable. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. | 01:33 |
| Roasted | Muelli, umask doesnt change existing permissions. | 01:34 |
| Roasted | it only chnages the default permissions for new files/folders. | 01:34 |
| Roadcrosser | I got java workin | 01:34 |
| Roadcrosser | yay | 01:34 |
| Muelli | Roasted: yes. And water freezes at 0 degrees celcius. | 01:34 |
| Roasted | k. point? | 01:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Muelli, i just found that fact out a little while ago! I consider it a "bug", but it's already been submitted (multiple times) - others disagree ;) | 01:35 |
| Muelli | Roasted: exactly. I don't get yours. | 01:35 |
| Roadcrosser | I have an applet but I don't know where to put it | 01:35 |
| Roasted | Muelli, you said umask means all files are world readable - but umask doesnt change existing permissions... so I fail to see why changing umask is a "oh crap" thing. unless that wasnt your intention? | 01:35 |
| RenatoSilva | how to make terminal's prompt colored? | 01:35 |
| Roadcrosser | so I created a directory for it | 01:36 |
| RenatoSilva | how to make terminal's prompt colored? gnome-terminal could have an option for that but it seems it doesnt | 01:36 |
| rahduke | 10.10 is badass, thanks to all! | 01:36 |
| Muelli | Roasted: read again. I've said: "Hence all the files you *create* are world readable." | 01:36 |
| Roasted | Muelli, ahhhhh hah! | 01:36 |
| valros | Could anyone tell me how I might batch re-encode mp3 files sans ffmpeg? | 01:36 |
| LWSDesigns | renatosilva you change your profile views in gnome | 01:36 |
| Muelli | RenatoSilva: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bash+color | 01:36 |
| Roasted | I wonder if I have to log out/back in to apply the new umask setting? | 01:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | valros, not really a great idea. lossy to lossy will mean lost quality. (it shouldn't be too hard to do though) | 01:37 |
| pelmen | hey guys, my GDM starts 3 minutes later after boot is complete, what could be the problem ? | 01:37 |
| dli | Roasted, if you don't want security, make 'umask 000' globally in /etc/profile, and 'chmod 2775 /path/to/foo' | 01:37 |
| __cool__ | Roasted: no | 01:37 |
| Roasted | I just set it to 002 (775) and it didnt work | 01:37 |
| Roasted | dli, I want security of course... | 01:37 |
| Muelli | Roasted: If you run "umask" in your running shell and wnat the umask in that very shell: no. | 01:37 |
| Roasted | Muelli, no I just edited /etc/profile via gksudo nautilus | 01:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, did you log out/in? | 01:38 |
| Roasted | and saw umask 022 at the bottom and changed it | 01:38 |
| valros | currently they are all "corrupt", missing a header | 01:38 |
| Muelli | Roasted: "source /etc/profile" | 01:38 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, no, that's what I was asking - do I need to? | 01:38 |
| indio | Hi. I upgraded to Maverick Meerkat and my OpenOffice.org Impress sounds stopped working. Any hints? | 01:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, yes | 01:38 |
| Roasted | brb | 01:38 |
| Muelli | Roasted: no, you don't. ZykoticK9 is wrong | 01:38 |
| Muelli | I mean, depends of course. | 01:38 |
| dli | Roasted, if you want security, don't change /etc/profile, make it '~/.bash_profile' | 01:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Muelli, technically you should be able to do it in real time as well (my bad) but loggin out/in is "easiest" | 01:39 |
| RenatoSilva | LWSDesigns: profile views? can I do that through ui or cmd line? | 01:39 |
| Roasted | who said ZykoticK9 was wrong? | 01:39 |
| tuyetmy | hi | 01:39 |
| tuyetmy | is there any software to identify any post modification of a scanned image ? | 01:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | tuyetmy, md5 the origional, then md5 the new image | 01:40 |
| Roasted | lol | 01:41 |
| Roasted | umask doesnt apply with samba | 01:41 |
| Roasted | how awesome is that | 01:41 |
| tuyetmy | ZykoticK9, my problem is a little bit confusing. I want to identify if the student actually changed their scanned transcripts by using any image modification software , | 01:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, i said a while ago you can't apply unix to windows/samba | 01:42 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, oh. | 01:42 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, so I need to adjust the mask settings in smb I take it. | 01:42 |
| dli | tuna-fish, or you mean exif viewer? I think shotwell(gnome) can view exif, try others also, gimp, gpicview, gqview | 01:42 |
| LWSDesigns | LOL | 01:42 |
| batbout | hi | 01:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, samba mount is handled in a non-linux way using fstab special stuff (that i don't know, cause i don't use anything windows anymore) | 01:43 |
| dli | tuyetmy, or you mean exif viewer? I think shotwell(gnome) can view exif, try others also, gimp, gpicview, gqview | 01:43 |
| batbout | i compiled a new kernel and now i'm having problems with grub | 01:43 |
| batbout | can someone help me plz ? | 01:43 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, I use samba just for versatility. I have a mac, my brother has a dual boot box, etc so having samba is nice for all 3 OSs. | 01:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | tuyetmy, not sure (sounds like you need a time machine) | 01:43 |
| UnholyTerror | Roasted, : you could try 'find' running from cron at 5 second intervals... lots of options. | 01:43 |

| nimbiotics | ZykoticK9, gaveen: Thanks! | 01:50 |
| Avery | U-b-u-n-t-u, yeah its pretty cool :) | 01:50 |
| phasma | greetings, all. I need a little help with something, if possible. Anybody here familiar with the DRM/KMS issue with the Intel 845? | 01:50 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Avery, there are enough upgrades to justify the upgrade? | 01:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | U-b-u-n-t-u, 10.04 is LTS, 10.10 isn't - something to consider 10.04 is the "stable" release for the next couple of years, or you can upgrade every 6 months. | 01:50 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | hehe | 01:50 |
| Avery | ah i forgot about stable vs. nonstable | 01:51 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | ZykoticK9, yeah I have considered that and the life of the release | 01:51 |
| dli | tuyetmy, yes, just check shotwell and gqview shows exif info | 01:51 |
| DaleBKooper | Can anyone tell me why my syslog and kern.log would suddenly fill with gigs of "hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92"? I see a related bluetooth kernel bug, but I've been using my bluetooth for a while with no trouble until yesterday. | 01:51 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, you still here | 01:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roadcrosser, yes | 01:52 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, tab fail :P | 01:52 |
| tuyetmy | dli, how to view exif info in dqview ? | 01:52 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, what does "Sticky" mean below Set user ID/Set group ID in Nautilus advanced settings? | 01:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, non-deleteable | 01:53 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, meaning even if a user has rwx perms, they cant delete anything? | 01:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, i "believe" so - but verify | 01:53 |
| dli | tuyetmy, gqview, choose View->Exif WIndow, it generates more numbers, to get it more human readable try: shotwell View->Exif Info | 01:53 |
| Roasted | I wonder if that would block samba users even with full perms from deleting | 01:53 |
| nimbiotics | For some reason, I cannot restore panel to their original status. Is there alternative way? <<gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel>>?? TIA! | 01:53 |
| Dulak | ZykoticK9: no immutable means non-deletable, sticky bit on a directory means only the file owner can delete it, regardless of group perms | 01:54 |
| Roasted | ZykoticK9, yeah thats what it is - tested it over samba. | 01:54 |
| dublisk | Hi, I am trying to connect with VPN, I went to System->Preferences->Network Connections->VPN and imported a .pcf file. Now how do I actually connect ? | 01:54 |

| the_file | is it possible to view jpegs in commandline?. | 01:55 |
| aeon-ltd | the_file: maybe with a framebuffer | 01:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | the_file, if you can find a working framebuffer and framebuffer image program (i have no ideas) good luck, sounds interesting. | 01:56 |
| uLinux | this is not true "System/Preferences/Login Window, and on the Users-tab you can configure which users are shown." | 01:56 |

| ZykoticK9 | uLinux, outdated | 01:57 |
| uLinux | ZykoticK9: so where can i change it now? | 01:57 |
| dli | the_file, I think mplayer works with framebuffer | 01:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | uLinux, i only know how to prevent them all from being displayed - i only have all or none. good luck. | 01:58 |
| tuyetmy | dli, shotwell : view => fullScreen ; just has that option | 01:58 |

| the_file | I have mplayer | 01:58 |
| dli | tuyetmy, have you imported your photos first in shotwell? | 01:58 |
| Roasted | I'm failing to see the point of "set user ID". Doesnt that set the owner of the folder as static to whatever is created within that folder? | 01:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | the_file, try something like "mplayer -vo aa FILE.avi" ;) | 01:59 |

| oxicarus | guys can you help me? i want a command to be executed ('php wp-mail.php') when my system sense that a certain user has new mail.. it does indeed execute the cmd, BUT the mail is also vanished so i can't fetch it over pop3 the very next instant :( is there any easy way to make the mail stick on pop3? | 02:01 |
| secoif | is there anything that can be done | 02:01 |
| dli | tuyetmy, I think shotwell arranges photos by date :) and display photo time at the left bottom corner | 02:02 |
| Diamondcite | I think kdm can do selective user hiding, not sure about gdm | 02:02 |
| dli | tuyetmy, if you see the modified time be later, it's a clear sign of manipulation, however, the time can be easily reset to whatever, if the user knows exif | 02:03 |

| tuyetmy | ok, thanks | 02:09 |
| Diamondcite | uLinux: I took a random guess as to what Ubuntu's dm is.. so I hope I have it right | 02:09 |
| Diamondcite | geneller: Do you know if your printer is supported? | 02:09 |
| dli | tuyetmy, try this one: sudo apt-get install mapivi , I think it's enough for forensic purposes | 02:10 |

| thechitowncubs | Diamondcite: no unfortunately. | 02:23 |

| uLinux | randy_: what problem? | 02:42 |
| randy_ | uLinux, umount the windows networking | 02:43 |
| randy_ | uLinux, can't mount the windows networking | 02:43 |
| Propel | how big are your /swap, /root and /home partitions? | 02:43 |
| Diamondcite | geneller: So you have the printer on first and then tried printer and it's still frozen? | 02:43 |
| geneller | Diamondcite: maybe some problem with printer? | 02:43 |
| geneller | yes | 02:44 |

| randy_ | uLinux, I had try this way,but can't mount | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | dany: i would think you would want at least 10gb for a system that does real 'work' | 02:45 |
| geneller | maybe some problems with printer? hardware problems maybe | 02:45 |
| uLinux | randy_: check the network settings | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | dany: but it would depend on what the server is doing. | 02:45 |
| dany | dr willis its only samba sabnzbdplus and transmission | 02:45 |
| Diamondcite | geneller: Try with different drivers? I have that happen with my printer every time hplip updates x.x I have a HP Photosmart 7450. | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | dany: point of samba is to 'share' files.. so you need file storage.. | 02:45 |
| dany | yes and that is where my 4 2 TB drives come in | 02:46 |
| dany | but i want to install the base system on an pata flash drive | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | dany: my / is about 10gb and its 80% full here on a fully loaded system | 02:46 |

| Dr_Willis | dany: why not just use a hard drive? :) | 02:47 |
| mdgmint | Anyone hear use fluxbox? How can I set a keybinding to open a file in leafpad? | 02:48 |
| Roadcrosser | But it says unable to access file | 02:48 |
| mdgmint | hear/here | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Roadcrosser: yes? so whats hard about that? open terminal, cd to where the gamefile is at.. run the command. | 02:48 |
| Roadcrosser | Is it because I made a directory for ir? | 02:48 |
| dany | because the 4 sata ports are for my data storage and the pata port is for the os i already have the hardware i only need an pata flash drive | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Roadcrosser: you have to be in the same directory.. | 02:48 |
| bazhang | Roadcrosser, with the redhat kernel? | 02:48 |
| Roadcrosser | .. | 02:48 |
| Roadcrosser | ? | 02:48 |
| Roadcrosser | hmm | 02:48 |
| Roadcrosser | How do I open the directory then? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Roadcrosser: 'cd' command is used in the terminal. If you dont know about 'cd' and other command line commands. I suggest a bash tutorial or 2 is worth reading | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !bash | 02:49 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:49 |

| dany | thank you for th advice ! very helpfull information | 02:50 |
| semitones | is it possible to have grub 'hidden' unless you press a button | 02:51 |
| semitones | say on a 3 second timeout | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: yes. thats the default if you only have windows on the OS. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | err. i mean no windows. only ubuntu :) | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | semitones | 02:51 |
| ubottu | semitones: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: its an ANNOYING default from a 'trouble shooting' point of view. | 02:51 |
| Roadcrosser | How many topics are in that bot? | 02:52 |
| ubuntunoobz | well playonlinux sucks.... | 02:52 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis, I dualboot :P I'm looking at the docs right now, so I was wondering if its possible to enable it on dualboot systems | 02:52 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis, if I need to troubleshoot I'll just switch it back | 02:52 |
| ubuntunoobz | let me find some games that run good in 1.3.5 | 02:52 |
| === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach | ||
| Dr_Willis | I just use the normal WINE ubuntunoobz i dont see much need for that Playonlinux | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres getting to be a lot of good native linux games out these days also. | 02:53 |
| randy_ | uLinux, no way to solve it? | 02:53 |
| moxi | hi | 02:53 |
| uLinux | randy_: dont know I dont use samba that much | 02:53 |
| Roadcrosser | (f) | 02:54 |
| uLinux | randy_: #samba | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux game site - i found the other day -> http://www.penguspy.com | 02:54 |
| ubuntunoobz | ok | 02:54 |
| uLinux | so can i just ctrl alt f1 and restart gdm from there? | 02:54 |
| moxi | do any one know how to setup pulseaudio server on windows? | 02:55 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis, the docs say that the hidden grub menu is disabled on multi-os machines... is it disabled until you re-enable it, or completely non-functional? | 02:55 |
| uLinux | moxi: ##windows | 02:55 |
| bazhang | moxi, try ##windows , this is ubuntu only | 02:55 |
| Roadcrosser | BTW whats the -Xms1024M thingy for? | 02:55 |
| coz_ | uLinux, yes log in then either restart gdm or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 02:55 |
| uLinux | coz_: ty | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Roadcrosser: some java option. 1024M looks like a memory size.. or buffer.. | 02:55 |
| Roadcrosser | oh | 02:56 |
| Roadcrosser | right | 02:56 |
| Roadcrosser | k | 02:56 |
| airtonix | moxi, you won't get any help in ##windows either, it's not actually a support channel | 02:56 |
| Roadcrosser | Infinite maps | 02:56 |
| Roadcrosser | Heh | 02:56 |
| coz_ | uLinux, that would be sudo restart gdm or log in then sudo -i password again then just restart gdm | 02:56 |
| uLinux | ye | 02:56 |
| scott-- | sorta Inf maps ;) | 02:56 |
| moxi | windows will be a client to the pluseaudio ubuntu server. | 02:56 |
| semitones | bazhang, I know for a fact that you are smart | 02:56 |
| uLinux | moxi: /join ##windows | 02:56 |
| ubuntunoobz | guys think my laptop can handle enemy territory quack wars? i got the disk lol | 02:57 |
| semitones | bazhang, can you have the hidden timeout on grub on dualboot machines? | 02:57 |
| airtonix | moxi, i tried to do what you want, best you can do is investigate the use of the esound server instead | 02:57 |
| bazhang | semitones, why not. | 02:57 |
| airtonix | moxi, you might need to use cygwin | 02:57 |
| Sterist | anyone know where i can find a list of 3rd party repositories to add ? | 02:57 |
| FatsDT | I am trying to stop unneeded programs. How do I prevent /usr/sbin/modem-manager from starting? | 02:57 |
| semitones | bazhang, from the docs: " | 02:57 |
| semitones | The hidden timeout option is available to single-OS computers - if multiple OS's are known to Grub 2, this option is bypassed." | 02:57 |
| bazhang | Sterist, thats offtopic here so no. try #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:58 |
| semitones | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#grub (/etc/default/grub) | 02:58 |
| Sterist | bazhang i would never have guessed it's off topic. sorry :P | 02:58 |
| Roadcrosser | Unable to access the jar file | 02:58 |
| Roadcrosser | Any reasons? | 02:58 |
| AbhiJit | good morning | 02:58 |
| ubuntunoobz | on the box my laptop is in the system requirements for enemy territory quake wars | 02:58 |
| ubuntunoobz | ill try to run it in wine | 02:58 |
| scott-- | Roadcrosser: you trying to play Minecraft? | 02:59 |
| Roadcrosser | RUn an MC server | 02:59 |
| scott-- | oo! | 02:59 |
| Roadcrosser | That's just it | 02:59 |
| Roadcrosser | Only It can't access it | 02:59 |
| scott-- | are the permissions set up? | 02:59 |
| semitones | bazhang, I basically want the computer to boot into Ubuntu very quickly unless I want to boot windows for some reason. Hence the hidden grub menu | 02:59 |
| Roadcrosser | What's tyhat mean? | 02:59 |
| airtonix | semitones, considered using burg instead ? | 03:00 |
| scott-- | you have to set the .jar file permission so it can be executed | 03:00 |
| uLinux | coz_: worked :) | 03:00 |
| semitones | airtonix, i've never heard of it... | 03:00 |
| coz_ | uLinux, very cool :) | 03:00 |
| Roadcrosser | How do I do that? | 03:00 |
| scott-- | if you're using regular ubuntu, you can right click on the file to set the permissions | 03:00 |
| semitones | but I like grub, everybody knows about it | 03:00 |
| FatsDT | how do I figure out what program is spawning /usr/sbin/modem-manager? `grep -r /etc/` didn't do it. | 03:01 |
| da844__ | Hey, anyone know where I can go to ask about the differences between 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| airtonix | semitones, if the goal is to remove the slightly frightening or ugly boot selection screen then i suggest you try burg to make it look sexy | 03:01 |
| coz_ | uLinux, that is actually the most proper way to restart gdm... it shuts down all applications properly | 03:01 |
| scott-- | pm me Road | 03:01 |
| coz_ | uLinux, rather proper way to restart X | 03:01 |
| semitones | airtonix, that does sound pretty cool, i'll look it up :) | 03:01 |
| thechitowncubs | da844__: ya right here. | 03:02 |
| airtonix | semitones, yeah google images has all the default themes on display if you search for "burg linux" | 03:02 |
| thechitowncubs | da844__: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 03:02 |
| uLinux | coz_: yeah you mean if i change nvidia settings i dont need to restart right ;) | 03:03 |
| airtonix | semitones, instructions here : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/get-animated-themed-icon-only-grub-menu-using-burg-now-simple-to-use/ | 03:03 |
| semitones | my main goal is to turn the computer on and immediately get to ubuntu, on a dual boot system | 03:03 |
| randy_ | I use this script http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/index.php?title=%E8%87%AA%E5%8A%A8%E6%8C%82%E8%BD%BDWindows%E5%88%86%E5%8C%BA&variant=zh-cn to mount ntfs,but wine said noexce,how to edit the script | 03:03 |
| Diamondcite | uLinux: Might depend on the setting. | 03:03 |
| uLinux | Diamondcite: yes. | 03:03 |
| uLinux | and to change Language is useful too | 03:04 |
| joe_ | anyone know how to flash phones | 03:04 |
| Sean93 | is it safer to run windows inside linux? | 03:05 |
| da844__ | thechitowncubs:: thanks. I have already researched that web page. It didn't really answer my question. I want to install and run ubuntu on a new computer. I would like to have a normal desktop along with sendmail, apache, etc... should I get desktop or server? | 03:05 |
| uLinux | Sean93: you can run it inside Virtualbox but it doesnt make Windows safer | 03:05 |
| thechitowncubs | da844__: is it a server or a desktop? | 03:05 |
| xangua | Sean93: if you think running windows inside a virtual machin in linux it will make it inmune to virus, it will not | 03:05 |
| Diamondcite | uLinux: Well linux does provide a very strong firewall atleast? | 03:05 |
| thechitowncubs | da844__: i see "normal desktop": use the desktop iso | 03:06 |
| Sean93 | just how unsafe is windows compared to linux? | 03:06 |
| da844__ | Well, it is a computer I built... | 03:06 |
| da844__ | Sean93:: good place for you to ask that question | 03:06 |
| Diamondcite | If someone who says yes to everything runs either system, then windows is stil worse than linux in most cases. | 03:06 |
| Sean93 | :P | 03:06 |
| Diamondcite | But Linux quickly fails to be as safe. | 03:06 |
| xbonesx | i have a device that uses novacom, is there a way to "cp" files or dir? | 03:06 |
| rantic | Anyone here have Audacious? | 03:07 |
| uLinux | Diamondcite: hm good point cause Linux gives Windows the internet access, hm it controls the connections, is that what you mean? | 03:07 |
| Diamondcite | rantic: I use audacious | 03:07 |
| joe_ | anyone know how to flash a phone | 03:07 |
| da844__ | thechitowncubs: that's what I thought, but I have 8BG of memory and would like to run the 64 bit version. but it is not the "recommended" one... | 03:07 |
| rantic | Diamondcite: I just installed it and misclicked ... turning the toolbar at the top off .. would you mind letting me know what the hotkey is for it? | 03:07 |
| Diamondcite | uLinux: Yes most of the time.. if not.. atleast it makes sure nothing outside can get to windows due to an NAT effect | 03:07 |
| uLinux | i see | 03:08 |
| Diamondcite | Toolbar ontop? | 03:08 |
| Alpha | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNboaWQ2QvE&NR=1 They had walked pretty fan, but now they had found their home. | 03:08 |

| dev3 | wget -d -r -O - https://mail.google.com | 03:08 |

| da844__ | 32 bit Ubuntu has the same memory limitation that 32 bit Windows has, right? I mean, if I have 8 gb of memory, it does not make sense to use 32bit, correct? | 03:10 |
| Roadcrosser | how do I access a directory using a terminal? | 03:10 |
| Alpha | 20 days from now you shall get a new antivirus frontend for clamav. It shall the be most used. | 03:11 |
| bazhang | da844__, using the PAE kernel ? | 03:11 |
| bazhang | Alpha, what? | 03:11 |
| xbonesx | anyone here even know what novacom is? | 03:11 |
| Diamondcite | Roadcrosser: use ls to show folders and files, use cd to change directories | 03:11 |
| da844__ | bazhang: I didn't install Ubunut yet. Trying to find the best one to download -> 32bit, 64bit, Desktop, Server... | 03:11 |
| bazhang | da844__, 64bit is fine | 03:12 |
| Alpha | bazhang: Hours and hours of work. | 03:12 |
| bazhang | Alpha, stay on topic here please. | 03:13 |
| test34 | da844__, I'd rather use 32bit even if your CPU is 64bit .. you could still encounter some compatibility issues if you choose 64bit version | 03:13 |
| da844__ | bazhang: Desktop or Server? I want to run the Gnome desktop and run services. Can you do that if you install the server version easily? | 03:13 |
| bazhang | da844__, desktop and install lamp then | 03:13 |
| Alpha | bazhang: If you say thanks please ? | 03:13 |
| Diamondcite | 64bit has driver issues with 3rd party drivers like (NO DRIVER) available... | 03:13 |
| da844__ | bazhang: Thanks! | 03:14 |
| Loshki | da844__: easier to install the desktop and add services, than vice-versa, though in principle they are equivalent... | 03:14 |
| Alpha | bazhang: Gratitude if you please. | 03:14 |
| bazhang | Alpha, please stay on topic here | 03:15 |
| da844__ | Diamondcite: But, what about the 8gb of memory? Does 32 bit Ubuntu have the same memory limitation that 32 bit Windows has? | 03:15 |
| Diamondcite | da844__: Yes it'll have limitations. | 03:15 |
| === seif_ is now known as seiflotfy | ||
| bazhang | da844__, install linux-generic-pae to get the pae kernel and override that | 03:15 |
| Alpha | bazhang: Alrighty then, in lack of a thank you. | 03:15 |
| Diamondcite | da844__: A possibility.. install on 64bit, if you have extra space try a multilib or a chroot enviroment with 32bit inside. | 03:16 |
| test34 | Diamondcite, or virtual OS | 03:16 |
| === guerrilha is now known as dtcrshr | ||
| Diamondcite | test34: I don't think a virtual OS would be able to use a 32bit only printer driver for a usb printer.. would it? | 03:16 |
| Loshki | da844__: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE | 03:17 |
| da844__ | Diamondcite: So, you are saying that 32 bit Ubuntu has the same limitation that Windows has? Or, are you saying 32bit Ubuntu can use all 8gb of memory if installed with pae? | 03:17 |
| bazhang | da844__, check the link above | 03:17 |
| da844__ | Thanks | 03:17 |
| test34 | Diamondcite, why not? I never tried it.. but I think it should work | 03:18 |
| Roadcrosser | I have a directory called mc but cd mc doesnt do anything | 03:18 |
| Roadcrosser | -bash: cd: mc: No such file or directory | 03:18 |
| Diamondcite | da844__: According to one person mentioned... a pae kernel does not have that issue | 03:18 |
| rantic | Roadcrosser: try ls -l mc does it display something similar to this? drwxr-xr-x | 03:19 |
| da844__ | Anyone ever use VMware workstation installed on a 64 Ubuntu desktop install? Does it work well? | 03:19 |
| Diamondcite | Roadcrosser: Try cd m<TAB> where <TAB> = hit tab key | 03:19 |
| Roadcrosser | ls: cannot access mc: No such file or directory | 03:19 |
| Roadcrosser | I'm using SSH on a VPS | 03:20 |
| Diamondcite | da844__: My VMWare was 32bit only.. try Virtualbox instead? | 03:20 |
| Roadcrosser | .. | 03:20 |
| Roadcrosser | So tabbing wouldnt work | 03:20 |
| Diamondcite | Why not? | 03:20 |
| Blazento | hello. I installed apache2-dev and apache2, and I download php 5.2 and attempted to compile from source with the following command: http://pastebin.com/A66sC7e4... When I run make, i get the following error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl" any ideas? | 03:20 |
| Diamondcite | SSH is still a shell | 03:20 |
| Roadcrosser | Tab doesnt work anyway | 03:20 |
| da844__ | Diamondcite: thanks | 03:20 |
| CarlFK | Diamondcite: cuz he can't "hit the tab key" of the remote box :) | 03:20 |
| Roadcrosser | I can | 03:20 |
| Roadcrosser | If I waste tons of money flying to Atlanta | 03:20 |

| Diamondcite | Err I wasn't supposed to answer? | 03:21 |
| bazhang | Dan_E, sound converter | 03:22 |
| Diamondcite | Dan_E: to mp3 cd I never tried.. have you looked into k3b for audio ripping to mp3? | 03:22 |
| Roadcrosser | :/ | 03:22 |
| Diamondcite | Roadcrosser: Okay then. how about "ls *" | 03:22 |
| rantic | bazzhang: Alright sorry about that | 03:22 |

| randy_ | it said 警告:“/etc/schroot/schroot.conf”中未定义chroots,but I read guid careful,it sure no happen | 03:24 |
| bazhang | rantic, keep in mind that weechat and irssi are cli , and irssi is often used in conjuction with screen | 03:24 |
| sakekasi | rantic try irssi | 03:24 |
| Dan_E | I am sorry .wav to .mp3 | 03:24 |
| Loshki | rantic: for quick, basic IRCstuff, I use chatzilla inside firefox. Very easy for newbies... | 03:25 |
| Diamondcite | randy_: try "chroot /path/to/new/root" | 03:25 |
| bazhang | Dan_E, sound converter should do that | 03:25 |
| cicatrix1 | screen is awesome but i haven't figured out how irssi is more interesting than everything else in screen? | 03:25 |
| Dan_E | will look, thanks | 03:25 |
| pksadiq | Dan_E: might be vlc will help you | 03:25 |
| Dan_E | k | 03:25 |
| randy_ | Diamondcite, I know this,but the guide said schroot will show the chroot list | 03:25 |
| Diamondcite | IRC Client: Each client has their ups and downs, xchat is good for file transfers such as DCC connections, irssi is text based and good for ssh + screen, chatzilla is overall good for new irc users but lacks functionality. | 03:26 |
| decusgeek | Dan_E: Or sox, the Swiss army knife of convertors | 03:26 |
| Loshki | Dan_E: 'lame' will convert wavs to mp3s. It's a CLI app... | 03:26 |

| Diamondcite | CarlFK: "file /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1" | 03:32 |
| Diamondcite | What does it say? | 03:32 |
| aegis | Is there anyway to set sshd_config to allow passwordauthention for 192.168.1.0/24 but any other IP would only allow publickey ? | 03:32 |

| Diamondcite | JohnTeddy: 10 minutes idle or 10 minutes active use? | 03:35 |
| arafatm_ | ajsie: aptitude search ruby | 03:35 |
| arafatm_ | there should be a ruby 1.9 package | 03:35 |
| JohnTeddy | Diamondcite: idle | 03:35 |
| maco | ajsie: "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" goes to the current devel version, which, by the way, is not yet even at alpha 1, so ... it breaks? you get to keep all 3 pieces | 03:35 |

| fazzil | hi all | 03:36 |
| pksadiq | fazzil: hi | 03:36 |
| Diamondcite | JohnTeddy: it has an affect too, but that's for shutting off the backlight. | 03:36 |
| * arafatm_ misses the good old days when an install disc was just that. no need to depend on a live cd to boot into | 03:37 | |
| fazzil | can i install equalizer in my 10.10 and how? | 03:37 |
| decusgeek | JohnTeddy: Check out Preferences->Power Management as well. | 03:37 |
| pksadiq | CarlFK: did you try sudo apt-get install libxcomposite1 | 03:38 |
| Roadcrosser | ANyone gonna help me?' | 03:38 |
| randy_ | Diamondcite, I try,but schroot -l still erro | 03:38 |
| CarlFK | pksadiq: no - should I? | 03:38 |
| pksadiq | CarlFK: yes | 03:38 |
| Eighteens | would someone mind looking at this ubuntu screen shot at http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs457.ash2/73001_450988613591_6723083591_5186610_7304950_n.jpg and politely tell me if they know what equalizer is at the bottom of the screen, where most people put the dock panel, it looks cool to me, but i can't tell what program that is | 03:38 |
| CarlFK | pksadiq: libxcomposite1 is already the newest version. | 03:38 |
| Diamondcite | Roadcrosser: Sorry too many things happening at once I'm losing track | 03:39 |
| pksadiq | CarlFK: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcomposite1 | 03:39 |
| Diamondcite | Eighteens: That looks more like visualizer for the new music player | 03:39 |
| k-rad | i've got issues with both google chrome and chromium. nuking the config file will allow it to start fine, it bugs me about the usually import from other browser, and the 2 other questions there, however when i get to a fully blown browser, it crashes and dies, and i can't get them to launch ever again | 03:40 |
| Diamondcite | Roadcrosser: Could you please state your current situation again I really can't remember. | 03:40 |
| Eighteens | Diamondcite, is that "new music player" you speak of standard in 10.10, or will i need to download that | 03:40 |
| Diamondcite | Eighteens: It's the default in 10.10 | 03:41 |
| CarlFK | pksadiq: http://dpaste.de/CKmb/ ended with "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /lib/libc-2.12.1.so.bak is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start." | 03:41 |
| ajsie | arafatm_: doesnt work .. i irun "aptitude nstall ruby1.9.1" but i still get version 1.8.7 in the IRB console | 03:41 |
| k-rad | you can set the default music player in any ubuntu to whatever you'd like | 03:41 |
| Eighteens | Diamondcite oh cool, i have 10.10, but so many new things i haven't seen it yet, only rythmbox | 03:41 |
| CarlFK | oh wait.. .bak was the copy I made beore I replaced... let me delete that | 03:41 |
| Diamondcite | Eighteens: Look around the setting in Rythymbox and see what you might find? | 03:41 |
| Eighteens | Diamondcite, thank you for the tip | 03:41 |
| CarlFK | what is the command to try and start | 03:42 |
| CarlFK | what is the command to try and start x? | 03:42 |
| dli | CarlFK, startx | 03:42 |
| rantic | CarlFK: startx | 03:42 |
| el_seano | startx | 03:42 |
| arafatm_ | ajsie: ok, couple of issues. 1) ruby is a link to ruby1.8 # ls -alh /usr/bin/ruby to verify | 03:43 |
| Diamondcite | CarlFK: /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:43 |
| arafatm_ | 2) if you really need both 1.8 and 1.9 then use rvm. not sure if there is a debian package for that | 03:43 |
| krogers0001 | what is rvm? | 03:43 |
| CarlFK | wee! X up. lets see if it will survive a reboot | 03:43 |
| Roadcrosser | :/ | 03:43 |
| arafatm_ | rvm = ruby version manager | 03:43 |
| Roadcrosser | I needa run an applet | 03:44 |
| arafatm_ | allows you to run multiple versions of ruby/gems | 03:44 |

| kexman_ | do i need to enabled any additional sources or something to see b43 at the Additional Driver | 03:45 |
| ajsie | arafatm_: yeah | 03:45 |
| ajsie | arafatm_: i just hate to install things not using aptitude =) | 03:45 |
| kexman_ | i dont want to use wl but b43 using broadcom wifi and wl isnt working too well | 03:45 |
| arafatm_ | ajsie: i recommend you don't use aptitude if you need gems. the packages in apt are pretty old | 03:46 |
| ajsie | arafatm_: okay | 03:46 |
| dli | kexman_, both b43 and wl work for me | 03:46 |
| Diamondcite | kexman_: you might need to enable restricted software sources first. | 03:46 |
| ajsie | arafatm_: aptitude packages are only for native libraries right? | 03:46 |
| ajsie | c++/c | 03:46 |
| uLinux | is there a way to remove "Ctrl+Alt+Del" from Indicator Applet Session? | 03:47 |
| kexman_ | Diamondcite: where ? how ? | 03:47 |
| === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| arafatm_ | ajsie: install ruby, irb, rdoc. then get the gems installer from rubygems.org. install that, install rvm, and go from there as to which ruby/gems versions you need | 03:47 |
| arafatm_ | ajsie: no. aptitude is for any application that has been packaged for use in an ubuntu system | 03:47 |

| === debug_ is now known as dbgnet | ||
| qwertyjustin | i just need info on which is which, via command line? | 04:23 |
| maco | vuln: well the correct thing to do would be to plug it into windows and run a chkdsk on it to fix the inconsistencies caused by not using "safely remove" -- if you dont mind the possibility that there is corruption from that, you can force ubuntu to mount it by adding "-o force" to the mount command | 04:23 |

| no--name | They said it was to do with the OS and not vmware. | 04:55 |

| obs3rv3r | virtu: oh so you were planning to have it over ? :) | 05:03 |
| Gnea | Guest78721: might need to check the packages themselves, they're typically in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 05:04 |
| virtu | Ubuntu recognizes it (WALKMAN drive) so I can delete the files, but it dont get free space after deleting... so my trouble is to transfer files | 05:04 |

| WonderBeyond | Can I change the height of Xchat's Input Entry? | 05:04 |
| virtu | obs3rv3r, there's no trash folder into WALKMAN | 05:05 |
| lduros | phasma: sounds like the files are going where it should (libreoffice source): By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under | 05:05 |
| lduros | `/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc | 05:05 |
| JoeMaverickSett | virtu: show hidden files will show it. | 05:06 |
| obs3rv3r | virtu: please re-verify there has to be a .Trash folder | 05:06 |
| phasma | lduros: if they go where you specify, they will be available globally anyway | 05:06 |
| obs3rv3r | Ctrl+H to see the hidden files/folders . | 05:06 |
| virtu | JoeMaverickSett and obs3rv3r ok... wait a second please | 05:06 |
| lduros | phasma: cool | 05:06 |
| virtu | JoeMaverickSett and obs3rv3r worked | 05:07 |

| DanaG | Though, doing that with the Pictures dir results in eog being "unable to find trash". | 05:14 |
| Aemaeth | purp1e, you just have to add an entry in a file so it knows to pick it up, if it doesn't automatically do that on install | 05:14 |
| dougb_freebsd | rusivi: dell optiplex 960 | 05:14 |
| madfox | purple if you have gparted its easy to set the mount point for your win partition | 05:14 |

| BallCrusher | BALLZHANG. Have you tied the knot around your dickhead ? | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | JWebb22: your VM manager should have dirsctions on that for you, usually you ave to select available usb devices to "connect" them. | 05:44 |

| Zeu5 | 2.6.32-25-generic | 05:57 |
| tech2077 | Zeu5, did you leave the headers | 05:58 |
| Zeu5 | i think i removed something like 4-5 kernel entries | 05:58 |
| Zeu5 | headers? tech2077 | 05:58 |
| Zeu5 | what is that? | 05:58 |
| tech2077 | the header packages | 05:58 |

| Zeu5 | thanks tech2077 | 05:59 |
| prov | llutz: I used cat /proc/crypto and the command you gave me and neither of them show anything new. | 05:59 |

| rohan | why does nouveau driver not support modeset in maverick? i only get a black screen on boot. is there any way to solve it? i want to use nouveau only, don't want to switch nvidia binary driver. thanks. | 06:10 |
| Krishnandu | rohith, :) | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | purp1e: did you md5 test the iso? | 06:10 |
| tech2077 | ActionParsnip, i don't believe it is a password problem, he still has the problem | 06:10 |
| SunmanXII | Hi. I'm having problems with an external sound card - my internal one got busted and i bought a usb one. However when I set the sound output preference to USB it gives me the following error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback." can anyone help? | 06:10 |
| tech2077 | i think it's a session problem | 06:10 |

| Guest12061 | Hey, does anyone know how to use a vim script and have your linux shell perform the tasks on it? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: boot to recovery root console and uninstall the nouveau driver. You will then use the nv driiver | 06:11 |
| rusivi | sofaking88: It is easier to uninstall the OSE version first before installing the PUEL version. You should be able to use the winxp VM created in OSE in the PUEL version but no guarantees. | 06:11 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: but nv driver is old and crappy right? | 06:11 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: i am now at recovery menu. please advise. i am going to go google for help at same time. thanks | 06:11 |
| Krishnandu | Guest12061, Write the script on vim and save it, and run it with sh <filename> | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | purp1e: you have downloaded a VERY sensitive piece of data over the web. You have no idea if the data is consistant or complete as you haven't tested it but you have being trying to use it. | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | purp1e | 06:12 |
| ubottu | purp1e: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:12 |

| kyle_l5l | I've just installed 10.10, and I'm not able to see the networkmamanger applet. If I start it in a console, it reports that it is embedded in the notification area. Sometimes I see a line show up and then disappear, but that's it. nm-applet works fine on some systems I've upgraded from 10.04. What's going on? | 06:13 |
| Guest12061 | I do save it as a PY file, but everytime I try to load it on the shell, I get an error message. In ornder for the shell to find the file, how do I save it? | 06:13 |
| purp1e | Sigh, Ill pass that one up, I do NOT want to install any more software that will only be used once on my computer, its useless, I can assure you I downloaded the torrent they say on their website | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: it'll give you a desktop. You can then install the proprietary. Crappy will do for now. Seeing as it works and nouveau doesn't i'd say the nv driver wasn't crappy in any way | 06:13 |
| tech2077 | kyle_l5l, have you tried to click on the line | 06:13 |
| tech2077 | it should show the network list | 06:13 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: sorry to intrude. do you have any idea? | 06:14 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: i don't want to install the proprietary.. the newest version doesn't work with my sony vaio cw. and you have a point, yes. | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest12061: file extensions mean nothing. That's what windows holds onto. If its a script, mark it as executable | 06:14 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: i am kinda worried that my data and everything is gone. | 06:14 |
| tech2077 | Zeu5, can you test su foo, replacing foo with you username | 06:14 |
| rusivi | purple: If you do not md5sum your isos before burning them, feel free not to ask for help about problems you find in Ubuntu afterwards. | 06:14 |
| Krishnandu | Guest12061, py files means you need to run it with python. BTW extension concept is not there in linux | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: then use nv for now, get updated full then install the latest nouveau | 06:14 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: you mean drop as root | 06:14 |
| tech2077 | Zeu5, your data's safe | 06:14 |
| SunmanXII | can anyone help with my external sound card problem? | 06:14 |
| Krishnandu | !ask | SunmanXII | 06:15 |
| tech2077 | Zeu5, if worst comes to worst, you can use a live cd to back up your data | 06:15 |
| ubottu | SunmanXII: 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. :-) | 06:15 |
| Zeu5 | i am su foo already. | 06:15 |
| Zeu5 | but i see a lot of messages | 06:15 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: latest nouveau from where? i am on xorg-edgers already :( | 06:15 |
| Guest12061 | Thank you for your help. I will go try that now. open source is the way of the future. | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | SunmanXII: try gjving details rather than asking the same uestion to ask which is silly | 06:15 |
| Zeu5 | and i canot copy paste its too many | 06:15 |
| kyle_l5l | tech2077, heh, ok, I tried that for about 10 minutes yesterday, but it didn't work. Today I got lucky and found the 1 pixel wide hotspot. It even works after the line disappears. Thanks...but now, why is the applet one pixel wide and invisible? | 06:15 |
| histo | !pastebin > Zeu5 | 06:15 |
| ubottu | Zeu5, please see my private message | 06:15 |

| tech2077 | Zeu5, does it show a promt with $ | 06:15 |
| SunmanXII | ActionParsnip: This was my question: I'm having problems with an external sound card - my internal one got busted and i bought a usb one. However when I set the sound output preference to USB it gives me the following error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback." can anyone help? | 06:16 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: yes | 06:16 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: before that, it was worse. | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | SunmanXII: just ask the channel. Don't aim it at me | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: so it was worse than zero desktop? | 06:16 |
| sofaking88 | rusivi: ok, thank you. I have another question, though. I set up a couple of folders in the "shared folders" option. How do I access them during the VM session? | 06:16 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: the prompt reads as foo@foo-desktop:/root$ | 06:16 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: earlier, i just booted into a black desktop.. | 06:16 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: now it sometimes works, but mostly causes kernel panics :P | 06:17 |
| tech2077 | Zeu5, type exit | 06:17 |
| rohan | i don't know what's good/or not | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: could try a different kernel | 06:17 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: now it is root@foo-desktop | 06:17 |
| Zeu5 | tech2077: now it is root@foo-desktop:~# | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: you may have to use "crappy" nv just to get a desktop | 06:18 |
| tech2077 | ok | 06:18 |

| ubottu | SunmanXII: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 06:20 |

| SeanInSeattle | Hey all. I've got some pretty strange behavior on Ubuntu 10.10. Basically, what's happening is when I log into my user account, "sean", is that it acts like it logs in for a second, and then just as soon as it should begin to show the normal desktop for that user it goes back to the login screen. Does anyone know where I should begin investigating? | 06:24 |

| mgiffels | Can I run two GTX 480s in SLI in Ubuntu and have it use them? Or is it a waste and I should just run Windows? | 06:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mgiffels: sure,as for waste, it depends what you use your system for | 06:29 |
| Krishnandu | mgiffels, Well....You can't decide ubuntu with your hardware. Better decide according to your task | 06:30 |
| Krishnandu | mgiffels, As ActionParsnip said if you intend to gaming sure it's a waste | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Krishnandu: when did I say that? | 06:30 |
| mgiffels | Well that's the thing...I had Windows 7 on it but it was pretty lame. I want to go back to linux and I know I can game in linux. But I want to know if Ubuntu will fully utilize the SLI like windows did. | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mgiffels: there are some great games for linux which will use it nicely | 06:31 |
| Krishnandu | ActionParsnip, lol I said it's waste if it's intend for gaming | 06:31 |
| mgiffels | Will it fully utilize the SLI though? | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Krishnandu: I thought sli was in the new nvidia driver... | 06:31 |
| Krishnandu | mgiffels, Ohh ya sure...it'll.... | 06:31 |
| Krishnandu | ActionParsnip, ya...right... | 06:32 |
| mgiffels | Is SLI even fully supported? | 06:32 |
| xtremox | i playing call of dutty 2 whit wine in ubuntu whit last nvidia driver :D | 06:32 |

| ActionParsnip | rusivi: grandtheftauto, need for speed,, theme park world | 06:34 |
| greezmunkey | ouyes: did that work for you? | 06:34 |
| Shifat | how do you change the sound theme in xubuntu | 06:34 |
| ouyes | greek, I think it will , I will try it latere | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mgiffels: you can shell out for cedega or crossoveroffice to get more compatibility but if you play a LOT of games then I recommend windows, its a better tool for the job | 06:35 |
| mgiffels | I can only run Windows if it has no idea what the internet is though. The thing loves to kill itself. | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Shifat: under sound options there's a theme section with some sound themes you can use | 06:35 |
| mgiffels | That and it's slow | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mgiffels: win7 isn't that slow, vista is really slow | 06:36 |
| mgiffels | Win7 was fine for the first 30 days or so. After that it started to slow down and get irritating | 06:36 |
| rusivi | ActionParsnip: Did you check Winehq? GTAVC -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1369 Need for Speed -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1903 Theme Park World -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7545 | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mgiffels: if you check the wine appdb you may find the games you like will work | 06:37 |
| greezmunkey | ouyes: yeah, the first rule you learn in university is that you don't necessarily have to know the answer, but you better be able to look it up. | 06:37 |
| Shifat | ActionParsnip: I tired that it was only No Sounds and Ubuntu in the menu | 06:37 |

| rusivi | ActionParsnip: Ok well based on WINE community members those games work. | 06:39 |
| rusivi | :D | 06:39 |
| ouyes | greezmunkey, it takes some time to find a proper article about my case in the google search | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rusivi: it was underground too, not hot persuit ;) | 06:39 |
| mgiffels | There's work and 'work' though rusivi | 06:39 |
| mgiffels | Should I run 64bit on my SLI system? Or will it not matter? | 06:39 |
| greezmunkey | ouyes: try this: ubuntu usb to rs232 | 06:39 |
| ouyes | greezmunkey, I am such stupid | 06:40 |
| rusivi | ActionParsnip / mgiffels: If you have a specific, detailed game complaint with WINE I'm all eyes. | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | rusivi: will dig the disks out. Mind you with me mentioning underground you can see how much I game ;) | 06:41 |

| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: that's fine. Did you set its password too? | 07:00 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: yes | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: ok, reboot and login as the new user | 07:01 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: if it works then its your profile, if not its the system | 07:01 |
| image_q | hi, I want to do a tail -f on a file and pipe it over to a php program that will email it to an office, I believe the correct way to do it is like this: tail -f some file | /usr/bin/php -q phpprogram.php | 07:01 |
| image_q | is that correct? | 07:01 |
| brokenda1apoint | anyway, have Ubuntu 10.04 on a x86 Acer Atom Netbook, Gnome desktop and I am now getting an odd sound. It seems to be random but only occurs when the netbook is online with FF open, is a "sigh" noise sort of like a ghost sound, any ideas? | 07:01 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: regardless of profile or system, can it be fixed without reinstall? | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: should be, yes | 07:02 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: its the sytem | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | brokenda1apoint: do any other apps make it occur? Or a different browser? | 07:02 |
| Zeu5 | cause the behavior is the same | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: dang | 07:03 |
| brokenda1apoint | other apps, no, FF is only browser | 07:03 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: i will never remove kernel again :( | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: not sure then dude. Id research but my web is painful on this POS | 07:03 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: oh no :( | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | brokenda1apoint: install another browser and is the obvious next step.... | 07:04 |
| Zeu5 | can i use root to reinstall the kernel? | 07:04 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: can i use root to reinstall the kernel? | 07:04 |
| dbgnet | image_q: that would not work because the -f flag will keep the program running until you kill it. so the email would never get sent. | 07:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: id find a web accessible system and research too | 07:04 |
| Phate | Help.... Preamp stuck at 20 | 07:04 |
| image_q | dbgnet: but wouldnt it call the program everytime and send the data for reading in through stdin? | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: sure if you have the debs. You may be able to run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop ,see if it helps | 07:05 |
| brokenda1apoint | ActionParsnip: ok will do | 07:05 |
| Crash1hd | can someone tell me how often a cron would run set to this */30 * * * * ??? | 07:05 |
| dbgnet | image_q: maybe a |while read var;do echo "$var"|php -q phpprogram.php;done would work instead to email each line output | 07:05 |
| maco | Crash1hd: every half hour | 07:05 |
| Crash1hd | maco, thanks :) | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: you may have to boot to livecd, chroot to the installed OS and sniff around | 07:05 |
| dbgnet | image_q: yes it would be only after a EOF is encountered. | 07:05 |
| Phate | Anybody have a clue on how to fix my preamp issue | 07:06 |
| dbgnet | image_q: correction, not EOF but rather pipe close signal | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Crash1hd: you can use gnome-schedule to setup jobs. It also shows the cron entry as you change options :) | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Phate: alsamixer in terminal and turn it down... | 07:07 |
| Zeu5 | actionparsnip: wat is chroot ? | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !chroot | zeu5 | 07:08 |
| ubottu | zeu5: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | Phate | 07:09 |
| ubottu | Phate: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Phate: is it a creative audigy card by any remote chance? | 07:10 |
| Phate | no | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Good | 07:11 |
| Phate | ActionParsnip:No | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Those links are all I have dude. I've never had a sound issue as all my sound chips are mid/low end and work 100% out of the box | 07:12 |
| Phate | ActionParsnip:Would it be better to replace ALCA altogether ? | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Phate: could switch to OSS, I'm no good at sound stuff | 07:12 |
| Phate | ok | 07:13 |
| Phate | Trying it out now | 07:13 |

| Zeu5 | please tell me what i can do to reinstall these kernels? | 07:18 |
| oscar | hi | 07:18 |
| BlackWeb | Could anyone help explain to me what a usenet account is | 07:23 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst show? | 07:23 |
| [dw]_ | lol zeu did you fix it | 07:24 |
| [dw]_ | whats the correct fix? hmm | 07:24 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet i am now at /boot/grub.. how do i view this menu.lst? i am now at terminal using root | 07:24 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: less menu.lst | 07:24 |
| SwedeMike | BlackWeb: you're wondering what usenet is? | 07:25 |
| battletadpoles | ProfFaolan: yooo | 07:25 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: look for the primary entry for your kernel and then look in the /boot folder for which vmlinuz files are left. | 07:25 |
| BlackWeb | ya, from what I understand is it, a service to download & upload information from a server | 07:25 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: i get a no such file or directory | 07:25 |
| [dw]_ | thats almost as bad as cd /; rm /temp * (been there, done that) | 07:25 |
| SwedeMike | BlackWeb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet | 07:25 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: do you use lilo? | 07:26 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: i am a newbie in ubuntu. i dunno wat is lilo | 07:26 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: in my /boot there is a only 1 vmlinuz which is vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic | 07:26 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: what does the output for ls -l /boot show? | 07:26 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: got it...k let me check something for a sec... | 07:27 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: oh btw, do you have a /boot/grub folder? | 07:28 |
| [dw]_ | cant you do a cd repair or reinstall | 07:28 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: it shows this http://paste.ubuntu.com/518538/ | 07:28 |
| Zeu5 | i am trying to avoid a reinstall. if possible | 07:29 |
| [dw]_ | what about boot from livecd then chroot | 07:29 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: type less /boot/grub/menu.lst and post the output | 07:29 |
| Zeu5 | lst is spelled with a letter l or the number 1? | 07:30 |
| Zeu5 | i tried both and both gave me no such file or directory | 07:30 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: el not one | 07:30 |
| Zeu5 | no such fileor directory dbgnet | 07:31 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: k... | 07:31 |
| Zeu5 | the computer that i am using to communicate is also on ubuntu. it too does not have the same file you are talking abt dbgnet | 07:31 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: what is in the /boot/grub folder...not sure why it would be there but not have the menu.lst file | 07:32 |
| zulgaban | hi there | 07:32 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: this working ubuntu also does not have menu.lst file so i am not sure abt this | 07:32 |
| maco | Zeu5: menu.lst is only for old grub | 07:33 |
| zulgaban | yes | 07:33 |
| maco | Zeu5: do you hav boot.cfg? | 07:33 |
| Zeu5 | maco: my grub i think is 1.98 something | 07:33 |
| maco | er... grub.cfg | 07:33 |
| Zeu5 | maco: where can i look for boot.cfg? | 07:33 |
| maco | yeah, 1.98 is essentially grub 2 | 07:33 |
| Zeu5 | okie where can i look for grub.cfg? | 07:33 |
| maco | same directory | 07:33 |
| maco | /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:34 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: going back to the original problem what does the screen look like when you boot it up and won't let you logon? | 07:34 |
| Zeu5 | maco: yesi have it | 07:34 |
| [dw]_ | sup zulga | 07:34 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: it looks normal | 07:34 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: ...but won't logon? | 07:34 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: i just get caught in an endless loop of login | 07:34 |
| Zeu5 | type password, screen refresh, back to login screen. repeat | 07:35 |
| Zeu5 | i am using gnome btw | 07:35 |
| maco | Zeu5: did you try a failsafe gnome session? its in the login screen optinos | 07:35 |
| Zeu5 | how do i get out of less /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 07:36 |
| maco | Zeu5: uhh what program did you open it with? | 07:36 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: try deleting the ~/.Xsession file maybe there is something in there that is preventing you from starting up cuz of it | 07:36 |
| Zeu5 | nvm i got out | 07:36 |
| [dw]_ | a reinsatll wont break anything willi t | 07:37 |

| SwedeMike | prov: http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=LUKS | 07:38 |
| [dw]_ | just move your home inside ? | 07:38 |
| [dw]_ | then update /etc/passwd with new dir | 07:38 |
| [dw]_ | should be ok | 07:38 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet how do i go to ~/.xsession? i try to autocomplete it using tab it didnt work | 07:38 |
| [dw]_ | prov: put a link from /home .. cd /home ln -s /newloc | 07:39 |
| [dw]_ | prov: thats how id hax it anyway but i make a mess :P | 07:39 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: must be a startup file somewhere else then... | 07:39 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: i am a newbie to ubuntu. please advise again. where can i find this startup file? | 07:40 |
| llutz_ | prov: look at the dmcrypt-wiki on http://saout.de (english) | 07:40 |
| pvl1 | do i have to use ubuntu users for samba? or can samba use its own DB? | 07:40 |
| pvl1 | Zeu5, are you logged in as root or as a user | 07:41 |
| prov | llutz_: I do not speak german. What does that STOP! thing say? Should I know before I proceed? | 07:41 |
| Zeu5 | pvl1: root | 07:42 |
| prov | llutz_: Oops, how do i get to the english? | 07:42 |
| Zeu5 | i went into recovery mode | 07:42 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: one moment. need to look for a few things to get you a good answer so we aren't exposing everything about your computer to everyone | 07:42 |
| pvl1 | thats why, to the best of my memory, root doesnt have a session file, but an actual user does | 07:42 |
| llutz_ | prov: below the STOP are links | 07:42 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: thank you very MUCH! | 07:42 |
| Zeu5 | pvl1: shd i then restart my laptop? | 07:43 |
| pvl1 | Zeu5, no thats not neccessary | 07:43 |
| Zeu5 | pvl1: in tat case i stay in recovery mode using root? | 07:43 |
| pvl1 | Zeu5, it should be located in /home/USERNAME/.xsession | 07:44 |
| pvl1 | Zeu5, username being the username in question, the one with which u log in | 07:44 |
| Zeu5 | i swear i will never remove kernels again. its just not worth it :( | 07:44 |
| pvl1 | Zeu5, sure, with root u can do *anything* | 07:44 |

| ectospasm | this is weird, rebooted my system, and nothing is in /boot... but here I am, booted into my system. | 07:51 |

| Zeu5 | by ~ you mean the /home/username i am having issues in yes? | 07:51 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet | 07:51 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: correct | 07:52 |
| Zeu5 | btw, ActionParsnip told me to create another user using root. and this other user had the exactt same problem | 07:52 |
| Zeu5 | so its not user specific issue i suspect? | 07:52 |
| [dw]_ | ecto: reboot and see what happens? :p | 07:52 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: can you logon as root? (i know it is not adviced but just to see if it works. | 07:53 |

| Zeu5 | to answer your last question dbgnet there are 8 files inside the folder you were talking abt | 07:53 |
| siavashserver | hi | 07:53 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet i am now in recovery mode as root | 07:53 |
| ifrit | hi all | 07:53 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: those 8 files, move them to a temporary folder of your choice (may just delete them later if this works) and then try logging on. | 07:54 |
| dbgnet | Zeu5: actually the logon as root you would want to try as a normal logon to see if it works, the recovery mode may not tell us anything about what's causing the problem | 07:54 |

| Diverdude | akfaew, a command like: $ svn import file:///home/ayman/svn/myproj will only work if i am in an shell on the server where the svn is installed right? | 08:17 |

| dark_ | i will now test installing 9.10 | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | timo_: Try switching to another tty then back. ctrl+alt+F1 then ctrl+alt+F7. If that doesn't recover things be sure to use sysrq magic to reboot cleanly rather than jsut pulling the plug. | 08:30 |
| dark_ | 10.4 sorry | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | timo_ | 08:30 |

| Jordan_U | dark_: It may be a problem with the CDROM drivers, in which case you can work around it by either using a program like unetbootin to boot from USB or install via the minimal install CD. | 08:31 |
| Roadcrosser | So can someone help me with this? | 08:32 |
| dark_ | i have a mac mini | 08:32 |
| [dw]_ | ifrit: firewall on game server ? | 08:32 |
| timo_ | Jordan_U, ctrl+alt+f1 gets me to a non-responsive terminal, but then ctrl+alt+f7 doesn't work anymore. Sysrq magic is a good idea. Maybe it'll come back from hibernation, but it doesn't fix the problem of needing to do this in the first place. | 08:32 |
| [dw]_ | ifrit: try a ping | 08:32 |
| ifrit | [dw_]: no | 08:32 |
| dark_ | mac mini can't boot from usb i guess | 08:33 |
| ifrit | i haven't firewall on server | 08:33 |
| dark_ | thank you for your help by the way | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | dark_: The minimal CD should work, though the installer is ugly as sin and you'll have to download most of the packages again. | 08:33 |
| dark_ | i will come again later to tell you what happened | 08:33 |
| [dw]_ | ifrit: nmap for windows? :p http://nmap.org/download.html probe it | 08:33 |
| [dw]_ | ifrit: or telnet | 08:34 |
| dark_ | i will try the ubunu 10.4 | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | !minimal | dark_ | 08:34 |
| ubottu | dark_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:34 |
| [dw]_ | ifrit: im out man g/l | 08:34 |

| Roadcrosser | How do I access directories then? | 08:40 |
| zico | anybody? | 08:41 |
| Roadcrosser | it's in the directory mc | 08:41 |
| Roadcrosser | cd mc didn't work | 08:41 |
| Jordan_U | zico: You can download the iso separately and put it in the same directory as the wubi executable, and it should use that rather than trying to download again. | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | Roadcrosser: ls -ld mc | 08:41 |
| glebihan | Roadcrosser: and where is that mc directory located ? | 08:41 |
| shadyabhi | Diverdude: chmod 777 ... | 08:42 |

| Jordan_U | acidflash: Everything in /tmp/ is deleted at boot. | 08:45 |

| deostroll | glebihan, k thx tht worked... | 08:48 |
| glebihan | deostroll: you're welcome | 08:48 |
| zico | one more thing after i place the ISO in the WUBI directory do i need to mount the file using say daemon tools? or will the installer take it auto? | 08:49 |
| kz6090 | piracy? | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | zico: The installer should use it automatically. | 08:49 |
| kz6090 | lol, btjunkie. got it. | 08:50 |
| zico | okie..but i guess the internet has to cut of fr it to take right? | 08:50 |
| Krishnandu | :p | 08:50 |
| Krishnandu | zico, if you don't want to update while installing | 08:51 |
| hacked_kernel | how to encrypt home folder after installation ? | 08:51 |
| llutz_ | hacked_kernel: use ecryptfs, theres a hwoto in the wiki (iirc) | 08:52 |
| kz6090 | Krishnandu, I'm drunk and was about to bitch: "I seed several distro torrents via Transmission! What's wrong with that?!" Man, I'm drunk. :) | 08:52 |
| zico | but i guess once the .exe file is run in windows platform it will point toward the internet for the ISO file | 08:53 |
| Krishnandu | zico, no...you are already downloading the iso file...just mount it...and double click on the cdrom icon for ubuntu. Read the docs to install it smoothly | 08:54 |
| extremedpupp | how do i remove grub1 from my primary hard drive hd0. I want grub2 to boot on hd2,0. | 08:54 |
| extremedpupp | grub1 is interfering | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | extremedpupp: Easiest thing to do is configure grub2 to install to both drives. | 08:55 |
| zico | krishnandu: can u share the link with me for the docs? | 08:55 |
| Krishnandu | zico, yes wait | 08:56 |
| Untouchab1e_ | hi all | 08:56 |
| extremedpupp | once i install grub2 to hd0, then what do i copy so it loads ubuntu 9.10 from hd2 ? | 08:56 |
| Untouchab1e_ | just installed Ubuntu 10.10 | 08:56 |
| Untouchab1e_ | and i get the error: out of disk when booting | 08:57 |
| Untouchab1e_ | throws me to the grub rescue | 08:57 |
| Untouchab1e_ | tried booting from the live CD, but I cant.. it just gives me the "out of disk" error | 08:57 |
| Untouchab1e_ | read through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Resolving%20an%20%22Unrecognized%20Device%20String%22%20%28Error%2011%29 | 08:57 |
| Untouchab1e_ | and it says | 08:57 |
| Untouchab1e_ | You may have a buggy bios and the location of your /boot/* files is not under the 1024 cylinder boundary. Create a small partition on the beginning of the disk, mount it as /mnt/b, cp -av /boot/* /mnt/b; umount /mnt/b; mount /dev/small_partition /boot; grub-install /dev/<device>. | 08:57 |
| Untouchab1e_ | not really the best | 08:57 |

| lancel | Hi, I'am trying to install 10.10 update but it fails: "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade". Anyone know about that? | 09:00 |
| extremedpupp | Do you think this will remove grub1 from hd0, without erasing my data on hd0,1 ?? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 count=1 bs=512 | 09:00 |
| zico | krishnandu: i'm actually working with selenium..so wanted to try an' OS as well..hope it goes well..:) | 09:00 |
| abhinav_singh | llutz_ what is purge? | 09:00 |
| llutz_ | abhinav_singh: man apt-get tells you about | 09:00 |
| extremedpupp | I mean this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512 | 09:00 |
| timo_ | Jordan_U, the bug is reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/665473 , Thanks for your help! | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | extremedpupp: NO. | 09:01 |
| Jordan_U | extremedpupp: That will also clobber the partition table. | 09:01 |
| zico | krishnendu: i guess the WUBI would work on winXP right? | 09:01 |
| Untouchab1e_ | any ideas? | 09:01 |
| Krishnandu | zico, It will. BTW if you want to try Ubuntu really, don't use wubi, install it by booting from it. | 09:01 |
| extremedpupp | jordan_U, ok. Well i'll take a look at installing grub2 to hd0 then. | 09:02 |
| m0t3jl | Hi, what monkey (:D) came up with the idea of suspending laptops every time their display is closed? I killed acpid, I killed hald-addon-acpi and I even disabled suspend in Xfce's power control, but I do not seem to be able to turn the automatic suspends off... Please help me ;) | 09:02 |
| Krishnandu | zico, Remember wubi installation doesn't goes well sometimes and you can have problem later with ubuntu if you choose to install with wubi. So if you really want to try Ubuntu install it by burning the image to a CD and booting from it. | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | extremedpupp: To install setup grub2 to install to both drives run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". | 09:02 |
| zico | krishnandu: u mean a full install? | 09:02 |
| Krishnandu | zico, Yes...wubi works on any win versions | 09:02 |
| zico | k.. | 09:03 |
| Krishnandu | zico, Yes... | 09:03 |
| extremedpupp | ok. | 09:03 |
| Jordan_U | extremedpupp: It will ask a few questions, for all but the install devices question leave it at the default value (which may be blank, that's normal). | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | extremedpupp: For the install devices select both drives and do *not* select any partitions. | 09:04 |
| zico | krishnandu: but i just want to check it out first..before i take the big leap u knoe.. | 09:04 |

| zico | krishnandu: software tester's concept..:) | 09:05 |
| Krishnandu | zico, well...installing with wubi also makes full install...that's just a way to install it under windows(or from windows) if you don't have HDD space to create seperate partitions and want to use it by installing on windows partitions free space. | 09:07 |
| Krishnandu | zico, so...either way you are performing a full installation. So wubi is nothing for testing...just a way to install | 09:07 |
| Diverdude | I have a ubuntu server with mysql, apache and php installed. I would like to install a wiki which also has latex capabilities. How do i get started with that? | 09:07 |
| Krishnandu | zico, if you want to test before installing, run it from live cd | 09:07 |

| llutz_ | Diverdude: read the documentation/install-instructions of the wiki-soft you're going to install | 09:09 |

| [dw]_ | any ideas about why when rendering videos with mp3 tracks theres a chirp at the beginning of each mp3 track? | 09:15 |
| electronics-cat | why don't you have anything to drink choose one making you better feeling | 09:16 |
| [dw]_ | happens in 2 softwares.. seems to be melt -> ffmpeg libs | 09:16 |
| ikonia | electronics-cat: ? | 09:16 |
| [dw]_ | 'cause the commandline ffmpeg works fine, but same commandline in kdenlive doesnt | 09:17 |
| electronics-cat | can i buy some cookies? | 09:17 |
| Chell | hey, ikonia, the other day a user named Roadcrosser came in, asking for support | 09:17 |
| * electronics-cat sits on ikonia | 09:17 | |
| Gnea | [dw]_: never tried avidemux? | 09:17 |
| * electronics-cat purrs | 09:17 | |
| bazhang | electronics-cat, stop that | 09:17 |
| Chell | he says that you banned him, for "<Roadcrosser> Just because they don't support the server install of ubuntu" | 09:17 |
| ikonia | meowbuntu I think | 09:17 |
| [dw]_ | Gnea: not for buntu.. i like kdenlive .. and built a vid :( | 09:17 |
| Jordan_U | momentum: There are various GUI front ends, if them I'd recommend "mascyma". | 09:17 |
| [dw]_ | Gnea: does it use melt? | 09:18 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: never had that problem using avidemux | 09:18 |
| coz_ | hey guys... just noticed on maverick /with scsi drives... it usually drops to busybox so I have to add rootdealy=40 to default/grub but on maverick this apparenlty is being ignored! anyone with a better solution? | 09:18 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: don't know melt | 09:18 |
| [dw]_ | Gnea: noone seems to have this problem | 09:18 |
| Chell | I've read the rules, and code of conduct, and there is nothing saying about able to be banned for having a branch of ubuntu. | 09:18 |
| coz_ | that was suppose to be rootdely=40 :) | 09:18 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: is it only chirping on the one system or does it chirp on other computers? | 09:18 |
| [dw]_ | upgrading to 10.10 then will be back to #kdenlive to bother them | 09:18 |
| Chell | unless there was another reason, in which you should say, why did you randomly ban him? | 09:18 |
| Jordan_U | Chell: People who are banned are rarely hones about why it happened. | 09:18 |
| [dw]_ | gnea: its in the render then in the file | 09:19 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: don't see how upgrading to 10.10 would solve it... | 09:19 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: well, that isn't what I asked, but w/e | 09:19 |
| [dw]_ | gnea; maybe a melt upgrade or somethin.. it interfaces with ffmpeg libs to encode | 09:19 |

| ubottu | Fizzle: 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 ..." | 09:21 |
| [dw]_ | gnea: i googled for a long time theres not much around | 09:21 |
| rww | helloren: Have you done sudo apt-get update recently? | 09:21 |
| Jordan_U | helloren: You probably need to enable the universe repository. | 09:21 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: maybe you need to use something that's tried and true | 09:21 |
| [dw]_ | gnea: melt appears to be very common and robust | 09:21 |
| Fizzle | Okay, so, I'm installing from a CD, and the installation goes fine; however, when it's verifying the installation, it says "no root file system defined" | 09:21 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: what's wrong with avidemux? | 09:21 |
| Fizzle | I'm trying to install 10.10 | 09:21 |
| helloren | how do i enable the universe repository? | 09:22 |
| Jordan_U | Fizzle: Is there a reason you're using manual partitioning? | 09:22 |
| [dw]_ | gnea: never used it as mentioned ill check it out | 09:22 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: did you define the /? | 09:22 |
| Fizzle | I have Windows 7, I've created a seperate partition though Windows disk manager | 09:22 |
| Gnea | [dw]_: I highly suggest you do instead of potentially screwing your system up | 09:22 |
| [dw]_ | gnea: nothin i cant handle im gonna hex edit the drivers.. jk | 09:23 |
| anygivenname | is there an app that would manage to have my PC connected to network before system log-in password has been entered ? | 09:23 |
| Fizzle | This also happens when I try installing from the USB stick as well, but there is nothing to choose from when it asks the allocated space. | 09:23 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: what I meant was, during installation, it goes through a partition editting phase where it asks you where you want / to be | 09:23 |
| Fizzle | Correct, but there are no options to choose from when it asks. | 09:23 |
| llutz_ | anygivenname: /etc/network/interfaces (ifupdown) | 09:23 |
| Gnea | llutz_: no. | 09:23 |
| llutz_ | Gnea: yes | 09:24 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: network manager can do that, just edit the connection and click on the box that says "allow anyone to connect" | 09:24 |
| Gnea | llutz_: NO. | 09:24 |
| Fizzle | I have a 100GB partition I've created just for Ubuntu through Windows disk manager. | 09:24 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: okay. you're also going to need a swap partition | 09:25 |
| Fizzle | How do I define the "/"? | 09:25 |
| oracle | i do not want to reboot my ubuntu server ;( | 09:25 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: it's part of the installation steps | 09:25 |
| Fizzle | What is swap partition? | 09:25 |
| Gnea | !swap | 09:25 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 09:25 |
| oracle | !ssl | 09:25 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: it's sort of like the page file in windows | 09:25 |
| helloren | the "sudo apt-get update" did not work i think, i got lots of lines that say "failed to fetch (url) Hash Sum mismatch" | 09:25 |
| spinningcompass | Fizzle: It's where polyamorous couples make out. | 09:25 |
| Fizzle | What part of the installation step is that? | 09:25 |
| oracle | gnea, it's exactly like that! | 09:25 |
| Gnea | !ot | spinningcompass | 09:25 |
| ubottu | spinningcompass: #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! | 09:25 |
| Zeu5 | dbgnet: are you still there? | 09:25 |
| Gnea | oracle: except that swap can be a partition or a file, but it's more efficient as a partition | 09:26 |
| oracle | gnea, just another example of windows sucking | 09:26 |
| helloren | lol | 09:26 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: does allowing connection to anyone means that system will acquire IP from network before system's startup password has been entered ?! | 09:26 |
| Gnea | moving right along... | 09:26 |
| oracle | hey, i dont keep track of kernel security updates and i hate rebooting what should i do?? | 09:26 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: that's how it works on my end | 09:27 |
| anygivenname | llutz_: what does /etc/network/interfaces do ? | 09:27 |
| helloren | oracle: reboot | 09:27 |
| oracle | 10:27:49 up 19 days, 13:42, 3 users, load average: 0.10, 0.10, 0.11 | 09:27 |
| llutz_ | anygivenname: configuring your network in an old fashion manner | 09:27 |
| oracle | i dont feel like it helloren | 09:27 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: the interfaces file is the old way of assigning IP's. once you do it, the easier GUI way is broken and will not work, at all, whatsoever. | 09:28 |
| llutz_ | anygivenname: easy and far away from any userspace-tools like nm | 09:28 |
| Fizzle | At the beginning of installation, I get to choose what drive I want to install it on...this is from the CD, then it installs, after rebooting, while it's verifying the installation, I get that "no root file system defined" message. | 09:28 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: unless, of course, you restore the interfaces file to its original configuration | 09:28 |
| [dw]_ | Fizzle: boot from cd and choose install grub ? | 09:28 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: so, you can either click on one box, or go through all of that hassle | 09:29 |
| anygivenname | I am not an expert in playing with ubuntu configs | 09:29 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| helloren | the "sudo apt-get update" did not work i think, i got lots of lines that say "failed to fetch (url) Hash Sum mismatch" | 09:29 |
| Fizzle | I'm installing through that WUBI thing. | 09:29 |
| oracle | in my case, i only need to reboot the kernel when a REMOTE exploit is patched | 09:29 |
| anygivenname | I will restart now & see if it got an IP while booting | 09:29 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: perhaps you should try 10.04, as it is our long-term release (meaning that we'll support it past next April) | 09:29 |
| lancel | Can I install Windows after installing Ubuntu, or should Windows be installed first? | 09:29 |
| Fizzle | But it takes over 2 hours when installing though the CD. | 09:29 |
| Gnea | !LTS | 09:30 |
| anygivenname | i have checked the allow connection to everyone | 09:30 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 09:30 |
| nikolaj_basher | hallo :D How can I change privileges for a folder and the contents with one command? | 09:30 |
| Gnea | lancel: either way works | 09:30 |
| Fizzle | Which is better? 10.10 or 10.04? | 09:30 |
| [dw]_ | nikolaj_basher: chmod -R | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | nikolaj_basher: man chmod, man chown | 09:30 |
| Gnea | Fizzle: well, 10.10 is more for people who know what they're doing and want to help improve things. 10.04 is a stable version. | 09:30 |
| nikolaj_basher | [dw]_, thanks | 09:30 |
| lancel | Gnea, good to know, I have now Ubuntu and I would like to install Windows for gaming | 09:31 |
| Gnea | lancel: just know that when you install windows, it will likely take your grub out, so you'll need to use the livecd to restore grub afterwards so you can dualboot properly | 09:31 |
| nikolaj_basher | Fizzle, I use 10.10 and I don't think it's works 100% yet. | 09:31 |
| Fizzle | Okay. | 09:31 |
| Gnea | !dualboot | lancel | 09:31 |
| ubottu | lancel: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 09:31 |
| lancel | Gnea, thanks! | 09:32 |
| Fizzle | I'm a Computer Science major and I still can't figure how to install 10.10. It just isn't recognizing my partitions or drives for that matter. | 09:32 |
| Gnea | lancel: cheers | 09:32 |

| Zeu5 | [dw]_ i can go to recovery mode and use startx and use my laptop as root so i dun think its an issue | 09:53 |
| bazhang | Gnea, you too please | 09:54 |
| blinkiz | anygivenname, Hi there. Why do you want to remove network-manager? | 09:54 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: you can get back to the GUI by pressing alt-f7 or alt-f8 | 09:54 |
| Gnea | bazhang: yeah sure | 09:54 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: ofcourse i dont know what irssi is :) | 09:54 |

| anygivenname | Gnea: how do I remove network-manager ? | 09:54 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: you're sure you have wicd installed? | 09:54 |
| anygivenname | blinkiz: i got wicd | 09:55 |
| [dw]_ | Zeu5: check the logs and stuff, and google, surely someone has had the same prob | 09:55 |
| [dw]_ | Zeu5: can only guess without more info | 09:55 |
| anygivenname | blinkiz: & network manager is working aswell | 09:55 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: sudo apt-get remove network-manager | 09:55 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: yes | 09:55 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: after that, make sure that wicd is handling the connection properly | 09:55 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: i have both icons on top | 09:55 |
| Zeu5 | i see. i have tried many times googling. and >2 people have helped me, but they cannot solve. | 09:56 |
| junk | @anygivenname I also use wicd. You just have to remove network-manager from synaptic | 09:56 |
| Zeu5 | i hope you dont mind, i will keep asking until i get someone more experienced to give me extensive help. | 09:56 |
| Zeu5 | hi all, i am stuck with this issue of not able to login to my user account for > 5 hours please help. i suspect either due to my removal of older kernels or something wrong with my PATH http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10014376#post10014376 | 09:56 |
| blinkiz | anygivenname, Did not know about wicd. Anyway, it seems nice. The only thing you need to do is sudo apt-get install wicd. According to homepage of wicd, this should uninstall network-manager. | 09:57 |
| [dw]_ | Zeu5: must be something in the log which noone on irc will find | 09:57 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: yeah, after I removed NM, its icon went away after I relogged in and the wicd icon is properly illuminated now and my connection is much more stable | 09:57 |
| [dw]_ | Zeu5: check /var/log/* | 09:58 |
| robban35 | anyone running backtrack 4 here? | 09:58 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: removed network manager | 09:58 |
| Gnea | blinkiz: normally, it does. somehow someone didn't get the current network manager package setup correctly | 09:58 |
| Zeu5 | i can access sys log | 09:58 |
| acidflash | how can one change the boot order of services in ubuntu 10.04 | 09:59 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: will restart & see if wicd now gets connected before log-in password is entered | 09:59 |
| Zeu5 | because i gain access as graphicak user in recovery mode | 09:59 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: okay | 09:59 |
| [dw]_ | Zeu5: so you mount the partition and browse it | 09:59 |
| blinkiz | Gnea, anygivenname : If it did not get removed, it should be as easy to just do "sudo apt-get remove network-manager" | 09:59 |
| Zeu5 | wat do i look out for [dw]_ | 09:59 |
| Gnea | acidflash: what for? | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | Zeu5: Log in and use "/usr/bin/nano ~/.profile" to remove your modification of $PATH. | 09:59 |
| crawler | Zeu5: see this post, it may or may not be of help to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-422523.html | 09:59 |
| Gnea | blinkiz: exactly | 09:59 |
| acidflash | Gnea: i set ulimits and the file that I want to have a high number of file descriptors loads before the ulimits is loaded (apparently) | 10:00 |
| [dw]_ | Zeu5: use 'tail' to read the bottom of the log files | 10:00 |
| acidflash | Gnea: so it loads with max 1024 FD's, I want it to load with 1M | 10:00 |
| Zeu5 | Jordan_U: thanks for reply. now in recovery mode as root. so i go to the /home/user to modify path? | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | Zeu5: Yes. | 10:00 |
| Gnea | !init | acidflash | 10:00 |
| ubottu | acidflash: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 10:00 |
| acidflash | Gnea: doesnt help much, I know how to add a script, I dont know how to paly with the ORDER of scripts | 10:01 |
| acidflash | Gnea: after I restart the program after the full boot completes, i get my 1M FD's | 10:01 |
| acidflash | Gnea: solution, i think is to start that program LAST | 10:01 |
| blinkiz | Gnea, Tell me, does wicd support ipv6? Am having small problems with network-manager because it does not support IPv6 Native | 10:01 |
| acidflash | apparently bum is x-windows? | 10:02 |
| Gnea | acidflash: I'm not following.... | 10:02 |
| acidflash | I am ubuntu server.. | 10:02 |
| acidflash | Gnea: ok let me try and explain in another manner | 10:02 |
| Gnea | you don't have an ubuntu desktop? | 10:02 |
| acidflash | Gnea: no | 10:02 |
| Gnea | acidflash: okay, I know what runlevels are | 10:03 |
| Gnea | I understand exactly what you're asking | 10:03 |
| danelu | does anyone knows how do I change the channel of my wireless card ? | 10:03 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: frustrating | 10:03 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: yeah, you'll need an X display somewhere | 10:03 |
| Gnea | unless... | 10:03 |
| [dw]_ | dany: iwconfig | 10:03 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: i restarted....then got the password small window.....at that time my pc was not connected to the network yet | 10:04 |
| acidflash | Gnea: I have a program called "acidflash".. it requires 1M file descriptors, the init script is already there for it, and it takes its file descriptors from the user its runnig on (ie, in ulimits the soft and hard file descriptors are 1M)... "acidflash" loads BEFORE ulimits... how do i change it so that "acidflash" is the last script to load... that way I get my 1M file descriptors without | 10:04 |
| acidflash | having to restart my program | 10:04 |
| Gnea | nope, bum is the only easy solution | 10:04 |
| ectospasm | hmmm, ubottu has a message about init, but no mention of upstart? | 10:04 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: it only connected after i put in the password & ofcourse hit enter | 10:04 |
| Gnea | acidflash: well, you could do it by hand using update-rc.d | 10:04 |
| acidflash | ok | 10:04 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: what's X display ? | 10:04 |
| danelu | [dw]_, already tried, but when i give iwlist wlan0 channel it's just the same, no change | 10:05 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: uh, that was meant for acidflash, not you | 10:05 |
| Gnea | too many a's lol | 10:05 |
| [dw]_ | danelu: your router broadcasts on a certain channel | 10:05 |
| llutz_ | acidflash: try starting it with a high number like S9x in /etc/rc2.d. it should be run by upstart very late then | 10:05 |
| Gnea | acidflash: yeah, you can do it with update-rc.d, but it's going to require that you read the manpage on it and some trial and error | 10:06 |
| Zeu5 | i solved it thanks Jordan_U | 10:06 |
| Gnea | llutz_: that's getting a little too complicated... | 10:06 |
| Zeu5 | thank u thank u | 10:06 |
| Zeu5 | u too [dw]_ | 10:06 |
| Jordan_U | Zeu5: You're welcome. | 10:06 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: is there any special settings needed on wicd ? | 10:06 |
| danelu | [dw]_, at the moment i have a mobile broadband connection, i don't connect on wireless | 10:06 |
| Zeu5 | can i ask another newbie question? if i want to add path where do i add? .profile or /etc/environment? | 10:06 |
| llutz_ | acidflash: sysv-rc-conf should help | 10:06 |
| [dw]_ | danelu: the transmitter decides the channel | 10:07 |
| acidflash | llutz_: ill try | 10:07 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: it ought to just work | 10:07 |
| Zeu5 | it says that .profile is not recommended https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables | 10:07 |
| Jordan_U | Zeu5: .profile is the correct place, you just did something wrong. | 10:07 |
| obiwan_ | hi people, i must be doing something wrong. i'm trying to make a live usb like hundred times before (without using the ubuntu app). i mount the iso, mount the usb (previously formated and partitioned to ext3), cp -a /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb , rename isolinux things to extlinux, install extlinux and umount. but when booting the disk, i get error. i've tried with many usbs. double checked the iso checksum (its a xubuntu lucid one). however, it work | 10:07 |
| Zeu5 | Jordan_U: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables says tat .profile not recommended can you clarify it for me? | 10:08 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: just trying to figure out how u knew ur pc was connected to the network & acquired IP before u entered the startup log-in & password | 10:08 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: it only asks for the password once | 10:08 |
| noob-tux | why is it that everytime i update i got this gpg? then do the sudo -i apt-get clean.....and the rest of the commands.....it's so annoying :( | 10:08 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: as i said, i switched to the console, logged in and checked the IP information | 10:09 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: afterward, i switched back to the GUI | 10:09 |
| Gnea | simple as that | 10:09 |
| llutz_ | acidflash: did you try to call your script from /etc/rc.local? it also should be run very late at boot-process | 10:09 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: u switched to the console before putting in the password on system startup ? | 10:09 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: of course | 10:09 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: well, i just logged out | 10:10 |
| Diverdude | phew...installing texlive-full sure takes some time! :) | 10:10 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: i didn't reboot the system, that would be silly | 10:10 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: no that's not the log out i am talking about ofcourse | 10:10 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: but that makes no sense, it doesn't need to be connected before I login for the first time | 10:10 |
| Gnea | there is not a single good reason why it should already be connected before the first login | 10:11 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest97554 | ||
| anygivenname | Gnea: i am talking about a Desktop that would power off if the electricity gets cut off & then it powers on when the electricity gets back....so what I need is that the system gets connected before the log-in password has been entered | 10:12 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: that's what servers are for | 10:12 |
| Guest97554 | hi, my VLC can't read VOB files anymore, what could be the problem? | 10:13 |
| Zeu5 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables says not recommended to use .profile to add new path environmental variables. can someone confirm for me please? i added at environment and got into loads of trouble. so i want to know where is the place to add Environemntal Variables at PATH once and for all. Thank you. | 10:13 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: so that when I log on to it remotely I can see the log-in screen & put in the password myself | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | Zeu5: The reason they appear to not recommend it is because it only works in certain circumstances, like when you're logging in via GDM or have no .bashrc. Since you *are* logging in with GDM, and they don't give any better solution for user specific modification of $PATH, I see no reason not to use .profile. | 10:13 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: well wicd should do that anyway, I don't see why it's not | 10:13 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: otherwise I have to remove the password option & that way the system will be have a security hole | 10:14 |
| Zeu5 | Jordan_U: what about if its a server on cloud computing? i am using ubuntu server image on amazon | 10:14 |
| Guest97554 | no VLC experts here? | 10:14 |
| Zeu5 | my personal ubuntu i add to .profile but for ubuntu server i had to add to bash.bashrc | 10:14 |
| opu | everytime i want to open my home folder from Top panel>>Places>>Home folder it is trying to open by using VLC... whats wrong with it? | 10:14 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: that is even more silly. why not just have your account login automatically on bootup and have it set a screensaver/lock right away? | 10:14 |

| Guest97554 | opu coincidentally I inserted a DVD just now and checked "always use VLC to open?" | 10:16 |
| Guest97554 | did you do that too maybe? | 10:16 |
| Zeu5 | Jordan_U: i have to go now. anyway thanks for the clarification . much appreciated. | 10:16 |
| Zeu5 | thank you as well [dw]_ | 10:16 |
| Jordan_U | Zeu5: You're welcome. | 10:16 |

| llutz_ | Gryllida: chgrp it to a group the user is in | 10:19 |
| Gnea | Gryllida: or cp it to /tmp | 10:19 |
| Gryllida | I want to chmod it | 10:20 |
| Gryllida | but do not know the syntax | 10:20 |
| Gryllida | a+r is read to all, a+w is write to all | 10:20 |
| opu | this doesnt solve my problem | 10:20 |

| Gnea | chmod 600 | 10:20 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: will test | 10:20 |
| Gryllida | not the one currently logged in, I'm root now, and want to add permissions to another user | 10:20 |

| Gryllida | o.o | 10:21 |
| ectospasm | Gryllida: what are the groups of that user? | 10:21 |
| Gnea | what? | 10:21 |
| Darkstep | I've tried searching for a guide or something like that, but I can't find a working one | 10:21 |
| bazhang | !purekde | Darkstep | 10:21 |
| ubottu | Darkstep: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 10:21 |
| Gryllida | I don't know, he's not sudo | 10:21 |

| Reno_ | So I'm doing ubuntu for the first time, what are mount points? | 10:21 |
| Darkstep | bazhang, exactly, the part which tells you how to remove ubuntu doesn't work | 10:21 |

| Gryllida | ectospasm, it outputs the username for that command | 10:21 |
| Gryllida | nothing more | 10:21 |
| Guest97554 | crawler at least now it says the title of the DVD but it still won't play it | 10:21 |
| ectospasm | Gryllida: then that user is only in that user's group | 10:22 |
| Gnea | Reno_: instead of drive letters, every device gets mounted somewhere on the filesystem | 10:22 |
| Gryllida | yes, and? | 10:22 |
| Diverdude | Is the mediawiki not in the ubuntu repository? | 10:22 |
| Gnea | Reno_: sort of like adding and removing a branch from a fake tree | 10:22 |
| llutz_ | Reno_: directories you can attach (mount) filesystem to | 10:22 |

| Reno_ | Gnea, so my root / is going on my largert, what are swap, boot, etc? | 10:23 |
| Gryllida | ectospasm, i just want to add permissions for that user to read and write a file, do i really need group for that? | 10:23 |
| aprilhare | hello. after upgrading to maverick i have found that the graphiccy stuff during startup and shutdown have disappeared. is that to be expected? | 10:23 |
| Gryllida | just 1 file | 10:23 |
| ectospasm | Gryllida: then do "chgrp <group> /path/to/dir" | 10:23 |
| crawler | Guest97554: also, libdvdread | 10:23 |
| ectospasm | Gryllida: then do "chgrp <group> /path/to/file" | 10:23 |
| Gryllida | >.> | 10:23 |
| Gnea | Reno_: well swap is swap, it's never a mountpoint, but boot is the /boot partition where bootup related files are kept | 10:23 |
| Gryllida | ectospasm, i am not sure that's what I'm looking for, but thanks | 10:23 |
| llutz_ | Gryllida: if only the user should read/write the file and he owns it, "chmod 600 file" | 10:23 |

| [dw]_ | Guest97554: could be better, could be worse | 10:26 |
| Gnea | Reno_: desktop or laptop? | 10:26 |
| Reno_ | desktop, I'm not going to hibernate it so I guess I'm fine with just / | 10:27 |
| Gnea | Reno_: then make a 4gig swap partition | 10:27 |
| llutz_ | Reno_: you always can add swap-files if you really need later | 10:27 |
| Gnea | swap partitions are much more efficient and faster | 10:27 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: nice option.....set it to 600 secs....which is the max | 10:27 |
| Guest97554 | Gnea sudo apt-get install install-css.sh or install css.sh won't work | 10:27 |
| Reno_ | is swap similar to page filing? | 10:27 |
| llutz_ | Gnea: that has been true, years ago | 10:28 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: huh? | 10:28 |
| Guest97554 | you guys are all highly gifted, aren't you? | 10:28 |
| Gnea | Guest97554: of course not, it should already be on the system | 10:28 |
| [dw]_ | Reno_: yup | 10:28 |
| zetheroo | trying to comment on the bug#1 in launchpad ... but page keeps timing out :P | 10:28 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: so no one can log-in after me for 600 secs | 10:28 |
| Gnea | llutz_: it still is true | 10:28 |
| Gnea | llutz_: with a swap file you're still chewing on inodes | 10:28 |
| Reno_ | <[dw]_>, page filing is slow in XP how is it any different in ubuntu? | 10:29 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: but there is no option of setting screensaver to work immediately after log-in....the minimum is 1 minute | 10:29 |
| [dw]_ | Reno_: its backup in case you load 100 videos on youtube and run out of ram | 10:29 |
| llutz_ | Gnea: the fs-overhead can be ignored on modern hardware. you might measure differences, but you won't "feel" them. swap is slow as hell in any way | 10:29 |
| [dw]_ | Reno_: you needi t | 10:29 |
| JoeMaverickSett | in which scenario should/would a user partition a disk to have separate / and /home and /boot? | 10:29 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: so let it go 1 minute. what's the chance someone else will be there? | 10:29 |
| [dw]_ | Reno_: if you are always swapping, get more ram | 10:29 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: it could simplify backups | 10:30 |
| Reno_ | dw, is there a prefered file type, NFTC or ext? | 10:30 |
| [dw]_ | Reno_: Linux Swap is a type i think | 10:30 |
| Gnea | llutz_: modern hardware still works with software the same way that older hardware did, that hasn't changed. | 10:30 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ectospasm: ah, okie. thanks. :) | 10:30 |
| llutz_ | Gnea: but the overall performance differs | 10:30 |
| anygivenname | Gnea: yeah right.....now my development phase is complete....I am ready to move this implementation to a new machine | 10:30 |
| [dw]_ | Reno_: goog ubuntu swap :) | 10:31 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: also, it could be easier to resize /home, but more difficult to resize / (or /boot) | 10:31 |
| blackbox | hi, i'm copying 1Tb to 1Tb over dd, it's REALLY slow, how do i make it faster? | 10:31 |
| blackbox | !ping | 10:31 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ectospasm: one more thing, how much should /boot have for it's partition? | 10:31 |
| ubottu | pong | 10:31 |
| Reno_ | googleing is difficult mang. | 10:31 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: I don't have /boot on its own partition anymore | 10:31 |
| [dw]_ | when you master it nothing can stop you | 10:31 |
| Gnea | llutz_: in this case, hard drives themselves haven't changed too much in that regard. you still have a filesystem sitting between the physical layer and the swapfile itself, the system itself needs to be aware of those changes. when it's a partition, the needs for those changes at the filesystem level are effectively not there. | 10:31 |
| llutz_ | Gnea: 15yrs ago i didn't have any drive transfering 80MB/s | 10:31 |
| juk | :q | 10:31 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ectospasm: ah, never mind then, thanks for answering though. ;) | 10:32 |
| Gnea | llutz_: it's just good practice to help users hard drives last longer | 10:32 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: what is your purpose to putting /boot on its own part? | 10:32 |
| Gnea | anygivenname: ok | 10:32 |
| blackbox | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/279109/ | 10:32 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: it's a throwback to previous incantations of GRUB and LILO that needed it | 10:32 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ectospasm: i've no purpose of such, i was just playing around with partition the other day and saw /boot.so, i was wondering. | 10:33 |
| Reno_ | Does it matter which partition I put Boot Loader on? | 10:33 |
| Gnea | llutz_: unless of course they're 1TB drives, in which case they're gonna fail one way or another simply due to the sheer design | 10:33 |
| anygivenname | I know it is not as easy as copying this HDD to the new HDD.....there must be additional work needed | 10:33 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: boot.so? | 10:33 |
| JoeMaverickSett | etotheipi: /boot | 10:33 |
| JoeMaverickSett | sorry, etotheipi. wrong tab. | 10:33 |
| JoeMaverickSett | ectospasm: /boot | 10:33 |
| ectospasm | JoeMaverickSett: I just had a problem where for some reason /etc/fstab had an entry for /boort | 10:34 |
| ectospasm | s/rt/t/ | 10:34 |
| llutz_ | JoeMaverickSett: you still need eytra /boot when using lvm or xfs or other filesystems, your bootmanager cannot handle | 10:34 |
| ectospasm | llutz_: you don't need a separate /boot for lvm | 10:34 |
| Gnea | !lvm | 10:35 |

| naftilos76 | Hi everyone, i was wondering whether anybody has tried sharing internet through a high power WiFi usb adapter widely available in ebay. Check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250715589729 . The only cretiria is that the adapter must support Master mode. If it does, then you can use it to transmit to long distances! Any experience with that? | 10:35 |

| john38 | how can i show a launcher application on desktop for program that requires me to start in terminal | 11:06 |

| joesin | I dont know what the hell he did, but it worked... | 11:06 |
| crawler | iExitus: goo dluck ;)_ | 11:06 |
| joesin | when I try... exceptions thrown | 11:06 |
| oddy | joesin: ah, well i'm already out of my depth. could take the error to the java channel? | 11:06 |
| oddy | john38: in the "new launcher" window just select "program in terminal" | 11:06 |
| joesin | his foo is better then I | 11:06 |
| nickmoeck | oddy: since your /home is on a separate partition, you could do a clean install of Lucid and just not format your /home. of course, all of your applications will need to be reinstalled | 11:07 |
| sresu | jpcl: What does <software-center> say in CLI? | 11:07 |
| john38 | oddy, you mean if i create launcher | 11:07 |
| oddy | john38:yeah | 11:07 |
| oddy | nickmoeck: is there anything special i need in ubiquity to do other than what you just said? | 11:07 |
| joesin | it lookes like kick off java... allocate 1024 something... 512 of another thing - have not googled cp - launch app in frame | 11:08 |

| ubottu | oddy to have all packages installed again later, use this to save the current state: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 11:08 |

| cousteau | that's what I wanted to know... thanks ikonia | 12:31 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: that's a problem with githubs server, probably devpts not mounted | 12:31 |

| Zeu5 | ikonia: no my server is a ubuntu server image on amazon. my git public repo is on projectlocker | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: so why are you sshing to github ? | 12:34 |
| crashev | anyone knows how to enforce ubuntu to use dhcpcd instead on dhclient ? | 12:34 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: to test if the problem was my server or projectlocker | 12:34 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: look at /dev/ptmx if you think the problem is your personal server | 12:34 |
| ubuntu | hi | 12:35 |
| atude | I have 238 running processes.... That doesn't make any sense since X isn't even open. | 12:35 |
| atude | is there a tool or script I can edit to control which services start up? | 12:35 |
| ubuntu | what is your really name | 12:35 |
| ubuntu | ? | 12:35 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: can i use sudo vi to look at the file? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: no | 12:36 |

| lucent | I've packaged up cdrtools, anyone interested? | 12:39 |
| Jordan_U | lapion: There are many things which give errors during the sandbox upgrade, as all the sandbox upgrade does is mount an aufs overlay over all system directories and none of the package scripts have been modified to deal with this overlay. | 12:39 |

| ikonia | Zeu5: as that would be what would cause your error, IF it was a problem with your local server | 12:39 |
| ikonia | destroyer: irc client | 12:39 |
| etheretic1 | preferrably gui. | 12:39 |

| JWar | I just installed the Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an EEEPC 1000H. The netbook is connected to a secondary monitor (tv). When I set the resolution to 1980x1080 the resolution changes, but the desktop is the incorrect size, causing black areas to the right and bottom. Does anyone know what is going on here? | 12:41 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia:i dont think amazon has anything to do with this because i use a community ubuntu image to install the OS | 12:42 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: depends how their virtual hardware is presented | 12:42 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: restart the sshd daemon to make sure it has picked up that /dev/ptmx is there | 12:43 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, doesn't seem like the ubuntuone client is much better than it was before. | 12:43 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: how do i restart sshd daemon? | 12:43 |
| Jordan_U | etheretic1: gnu ddrescue, which is the "gddrescue" package (not the "ddrescue" package which is similar but IMHO not as good). | 12:43 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: I suggest you take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com and learn the basics of controlling a server | 12:43 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: your going to struggle to take things forward | 12:44 |

| ubuntu | WHY | 12:47 |
| ectospasm | Does anyone know how to get workspace names working in maverick (10.10)? I keep trying to set the names in gconf-editor, and they're set, but I don't see them anywhere else. | 12:47 |
| ubuntu | GO TO HELL | 12:47 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: that /etc/fstab is wrong and missing several key entreies | 12:48 |
| fazzil1 | hi... | 12:48 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: that will explain the problem | 12:48 |
| ectospasm | tomgra: maybe boot your disk manufacturer's drive utility, and check to make sure the drive isn't bad | 12:48 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: is it safe for me to copy my own fstab and paste it into my own server? | 12:49 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: no | 12:49 |
| fazzil1 | can somebody tell me what is this : ubuntu@machine:/dev$ less /dev/ptmx | 12:49 |
| ectospasm | Zeu5: not a good idea | 12:49 |
| tomgra | I have tried that and the drive is fine. | 12:49 |
| tomgra | I have tried gparted too | 12:49 |
| ectospasm | tomgra: is your Ubuntu image OK? Did you check it with sha1sum before you burned it? | 12:50 |
| tomgra | Yes the cd has no errors | 12:50 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: looking at my own fstab, i also do not have /dev/pts so how is it i have no problems connecting to my git repo? | 12:50 |
| ectospasm | tomgra: that's not what I asked | 12:50 |
| etheretic1 | Jordan_U: is here a gui frontend to ddrescue? | 12:50 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: it's nothing to do with your git repo - you asked about the pty on channel 0 error | 12:50 |

| Zeu5 | ikonia: i sent a support request already. bt i like to check with you. since i did a git push from my laptop successfully to the public repo, is it still possible for the problem to be with the repo when i cannot do a git pull on my server? | 12:53 |
| juk__ | why wget hits and curl not same url | 12:53 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: the problem will either be your sever setup - or the git repo | 12:53 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: we've already discovered your server setup is missing key entries in /etc/fstab so it could well be that your server is not setup well | 12:54 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: i understand. i was wondering if you are able to help me to eliminate one of the possiblities. esp since i am using ubuntu server | 12:54 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: what are the missing key entries in fstab? | 12:54 |
| lucent | https://launchpad.net/~eshattow/+archive/cdrtools-stable | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: the git support team can walk you thorugh it | 12:54 |
| lucent | not that the person who asked for it is still here though | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: the entries are specific to your setup, so but your missing pts and shm for starters | 12:55 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: where did you get this ubuntu-server image ? | 12:55 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: i am also missing pts and shm in my ubuntu laptop but i can still do git push so why is this the case? | 12:55 |
| ady01 | hi guys - Anyone had any experience setting up an authentication server / domain controller before - done most it but now a bit stuck | 12:55 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: hang on, let me go dig out | 12:55 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: because that is NOT the problem with git | 12:55 |
| atude | I have another question. When gdm starts up, the gdm theme preference window ALWAYS opens and I have no way to automatically not have it open. Is there a way to stop this? | 12:55 |

| sresu | lucent: I don't know about it | 12:58 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: that is not an ubuntu official image | 12:58 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: it is not supported | 12:58 |
| sresu | lucent: What all things to llok for in <dmesg> output? | 12:58 |
| lucent | sresu: too bad if you actually needed help, and you're running a binary blob that is unsupported from fglrx ATI driver | 12:58 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: so in my perspective, i have to wait for projectlocker support to get back to me then? | 12:58 |
| sresu | lucent: I know nothing about fglrx | 12:58 |
| lucent | sresu: also, I would advise -against- running ext4 on anything important, just FYI | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: or alestic - but this channel can't support that image | 12:59 |
| sresu | lucent: What all things you check in dmesg output? | 12:59 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: correct me if i am wrong. i am a newbie. | 12:59 |
| Zeu5 | ubuntu is a linux distro hence allows you to make any changes as you please yes? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: yes it is | 13:00 |
| lucent | sresu: passwords, and credit card numbers mostly | 13:00 |
| lucent | thanks for posting these to me | 13:00 |
| bazhang | lucent, thats not helpful | 13:00 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: now chances are there could be someone out there who made some changes to their own downloaded ubuntu. can they seek help here? | 13:00 |
| sresu | I've no idea about going through dmesg, hence asked | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: correct, they have modified the install routine to make their own product based on ubuntu, contact them for support | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: that image alestic's personal image/configuration for ubuntu - they can support you | 13:01 |
| lucent | bazhang: would like to see you do better than I did, though. show me how it's done :) | 13:01 |
| sresu | !dmesg | 13:01 |
| ubottu | dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 13:01 |
| bazhang | lucent, thats not funny nor appropriate | 13:01 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: if i install ubuntu on my desktop and i made some changes, does that mean i cannot come here to seek help? cause based on your rationale i have to ask myself? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: no, as you can tell use the changes you've made | 13:02 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: can you tell me the changes the alestic image has ? | 13:02 |
| === qwerty is now known as Guest9971 | ||
| sresu | Yes, from where those additional lines start? How to recognise? | 13:02 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: i wish i could. | 13:02 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: so therefore we can't support it | 13:03 |
| spinningcompass | Zeu5: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I would always encourage Ubuntu users (or Linux users in general, really) to come here & ask for help. Although the channel is staffed by volunteers & therefore doesn't have a QA/QC mechanism (other than peer pressure), most people in here genuinely want to help you. | 13:03 |
| ikonia | spinningcompass: no, the policy of the channel is not to support non-official ubuntu images/installs | 13:03 |
| Zeu5 | spinningcompass: please do not misunderstand me. i am clarifying tat is all. | 13:03 |
| spinningcompass | ikonia: Does that mean I'm forbidden to offer to help Zeu5 if I find out he's running an unofficial image? | 13:04 |
| Zeu5 | spinningcompass: ikonia has been consistent and clear so far. | 13:04 |
| ikonia | spinningcompass: in this channel, yes | 13:04 |
| lucent | sresu: sorry baz must be busy, so the lines in dmesg are just information, there is not a certain error that always happens | 13:04 |
| spinningcompass | ikonia: Fair enough. Bye. | 13:04 |
| ikonia | bye | 13:04 |
| sresu | Oh.. Nothing. Thanks for considering my question. | 13:05 |

| fazzil1 | zeu5: what is ubuntu pastebin? | 13:05 |

| sresu | lucent: Thanks | 13:07 |
| lucent | sresu: if you looked at dmesg output and there was an error or a few errors, repeating quickly, then that would "fill up" the output and you would know quickly | 13:07 |

| ikonia | Uninewb: menu.lst does not exist in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 as it uses grub2 | 13:09 |
| bazhang | Uninewb, its not there anymore, its grub2 | 13:09 |
| lucent | also, Grub (original) had menu.lst, and PRUB (Grub2) has grub.conf | 13:09 |
| lucent | I think? | 13:09 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu it says in the link Canonical -Official Ubuntu AMIs | 13:09 |
| Uninewb | so i just need to press left shit during the boot? | 13:09 |
| lucent | ikonia: any configuration should be done in /etc/default/grub then re-run 'update-grub' | 13:09 |
| ikonia | lucent: looks good | 13:10 |
| lucent | Uninewb: that's what I've heard, it's not the same on my computer so I am not certain | 13:10 |

| === andrea is now known as Guest70318 | ||
| lucent | EM64T: have a look at 'amixer' ; the use is complicated, there is also 'alsamixer' | 13:19 |
| lucent | alsamixer is easy to use | 13:19 |
| EM64T | lucent thanks, no i need from term. | 13:19 |
| === ju is now known as fizzOuNet | ||
| EM64T | lucent amixer looks prommising | 13:20 |
| lucent | EM64T: the default device is PulseAudio control unless you specify a hardware device card -c0; alsamixer -c1 | 13:20 |
| lucent | that's the example | 13:20 |

| devp | ext4 is the latest right? | 13:23 |
| maedhros777 | well, bye | 13:23 |
| lucent | ext4 has problems, devp | 13:24 |
| ectospasm | devp: I haven't had any problems with ext4 | 13:24 |
| devp | oh | 13:24 |
| ady01 | ectospasm got the server already set up but want the clients to use the server to login not the local machine ! | 13:24 |
| lucent | see? it depends who you ask ;) | 13:24 |
| ectospasm | ady01: look into PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) | 13:24 |
| === EMMA is now known as emma | ||
| lucent | devp: if nothing is important, and you keep good backups, ext4 is interesting to try | 13:25 |
| devp | :P | 13:25 |
| ady01 | ectospasm already on the server buddy - just stuck making the local machines login using the information on the server | 13:25 |
| devp | lucent: nah this old laptop will just serve as a browsing machine for dad | 13:25 |
| devp | nothing serious | 13:25 |
| lucent | I don't see the benefit in doing ext4, then. | 13:26 |
| ectospasm | ady01: yes, set up PAM on the *clients* to use LDAP instead of local! | 13:26 |
| ady01 | ectospasm you may have a point there ectospasm | 13:26 |

| wisevoyager | @almis, thank you! I'll try it now. :D | 14:06 |
| Ifewalter_12 | You have to install proprietary drivers | 14:06 |

| Somelauw | Can you make evince open pdf's in firefox? | 14:10 |
| almis | desktop dissapear | 14:10 |
| Dice-Man | i'm a away | 14:10 |
| Ifewalter_12 | Thats a x-server problem | 14:10 |
| bloopletech | Ashkaar, it probably is - you may be able to configure it via gnome mouse preferences, but for advanced config you'll need to modify your xorg.conf | 14:10 |
| prov | jrib: Are you a forgiving person? | 14:10 |
| almis | So its better to not write the driver, right? | 14:11 |
| bloopletech | Somelauw, I'm not sure. Google chrome has built-in pdf reading in the latest dev channel releases | 14:11 |
| Ifewalter_12 | When ubuntu is bootin press esc | 14:11 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, the mouse preferences are disabled because it is not detected... and the xorg.conf is not available under 10.10 | 14:11 |
| Ifewalter_12 | Then goto fix x server. Prob last menu. The try rebooting | 14:12 |
| bloopletech | Ashkaar, I can assure you I have configured 2-finger scroll with an xorg conf under 10.10 | 14:12 |
| Ifewalter_12 | If it doesn't work next step will be to remove ur hardware from blacklist | 14:12 |
| bloopletech | But it not detecting your mouse... thinking | 14:12 |

| G__81 | i installed ubuntu 10.10 and then installed the nvidia drivers too but after installing when the system boots i see couple of messages being displayed on screen when the system boots, though everthing is fine but these messages come up on the screen when the Ubuntu 10.10 logo appears hence it breaks the boot up experience. Is this a known bug and is there a solution for it? | 14:16 |
| mr_boo | Legend28469, i tried sudo apt-get update | 14:16 |
| Legend28469 | that works in the grub cmd line thing? | 14:16 |
| mr_boo | Legend28469, but then an error came up and recommended me to do sudo dpkg --reconfigure | 14:16 |
| mr_boo | Legend28469, don't remember the syntax in the last one | 14:16 |

| mr_boo | aeon-ltd, i can't find any realtime kernels in synaptic | 14:22 |
| aeon-ltd | mr_boo: you didn;t read the news "The -preempt and -rt kernels are no longer being developed due to lack of support. Focus has instead turned to the -lowlatency and -realtime kernels, particularly for the the release of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. The long-term goal is to have -lowlatency in the official Ubuntu repositories, while maintaining -realtime in a dedicated PPA." | 14:23 |

| Ashkaar | bloopletech, the working maschine was upgraded from 10.04... maybe this is the difference? | 14:23 |
| bloopletech | Ashkaar, it might be - you might have installed some drivers for it under .04 that were kept when you upgraded | 14:24 |
| mr_boo | aeon-ltd, i interpret that as that 10.10 would have at least the -lowlatency and -realtime then | 14:24 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, is there any way to check this? | 14:24 |

| TopGear | hi | 14:32 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, a already tried this... there are no hints how to fix it when its not detected | 14:32 |
| TopGear | does someone know how to install the 96 nvidia drivers in 10.10? | 14:32 |
| bloopletech | Ashkaar, not even on the debugging page? it has some more detailed steps | 14:33 |
| dpac_ | hi guys, want to know how does cp -u check if the file being copied is newer? | 14:33 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, yes :( | 14:33 |
| bloopletech | Oh and also, the touchpad hasn't been disabled in the hardware or anything, right? | 14:33 |
| bloopletech | like in the bios or the hardware kill switch (if you have one) | 14:34 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, no in the bios there is no option for this, and also it works... only scrolling doesn't | 14:34 |
| bloopletech | oh right of course, sorry | 14:35 |
| TopGear | without ruining my X | 14:35 |
| bloopletech | well all I can say is that it appears to not be detecting it as a alps touchpad and falling back to an emulation mode for it, which is why the scrolling isn't working | 14:35 |
| bloopletech | I have a vague memory that I was in the same boat till I added an xorg config section for the touchpad | 14:36 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, I think this worked for 10.04... but not for 10.10 | 14:36 |
| gaberlunzie | TopGear: 10.10 is not compatible with nvidia-96 driver, according to the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#Graphics%20and%20Display ... i dont know of a workaround | 14:37 |
| bloopletech | Ashkaar, well that's the limit of the help I can provide | 14:37 |
| Ashkaar | bloopletech, ok. thank you for your time | 14:37 |
| TopGear | gaberlunzie, oh, that's why I couldn't make those dirvers work... sad... | 14:37 |
| Ashkaar | i'll try to reinstall 10.04 | 14:37 |
| gaberlunzie | TopGear: yea, both 96 and 173, unfortunately | 14:38 |
| shroomer82 | wow, how would 10.10 suddenl make nvidia drivers stop working? | 14:38 |
| bloopletech | shroomer82, they probably depend on different versions of xorg etc. | 14:38 |
| gaberlunzie | TopGear: it's a compatibility issue with Xorg 1.9 | 14:38 |
| megh | endhiran try installing WinFF | 14:38 |
| shroomer82 | oh...and i guess the ubuntu people just assumed its something nvidia should fix, and theyre not waiting up? | 14:39 |

| thevishy | !lxce | 14:44 |
| thevishy | !lfce | 14:44 |
| shroomer82 | bouboul-iv: yes but one thing i noticed is that the software center is slower in 10.10 than it was in 10.04 | 14:44 |
| bloopletech | dpac_, probably by comparing the mtime on the file | 14:44 |
| TopGear | gaberlunzie, I do have visual, but verry strange... as if nothing is rendered... bootscreen is not nice, and letters aren't readeble | 14:45 |
| mangojuice | @bloopletech : u'll just see the desktop wallpaper(root desktop) no icons of widgets or any underlying windows in pseudo transparency | 14:45 |
| dpac_ | bloopletech: Can I make it so that it compares size and overwrite if the size is different? Maybe using rsync? | 14:45 |
| bloopletech | dpac_, one sec | 14:46 |
| bloopletech | mangojuice, hmm that wiki article aeon-ltd reffered to looks promising | 14:46 |
| bloopletech | dpac_, are you going to have files with the same mtime but different contents? | 14:47 |
| mangojuice | @bloopletech : yea.. but i just want to to know if we can disable desktop composition for gnome-terminal which disables true transparency | 14:47 |
| bloopletech | mangojuice, why do you want to? | 14:47 |
| dpac_ | bloopletech: Yes, apparently come files are giving read errors on my drive and are only partially copied but they have same mtime. To fix that I gotta use size as differentiator so that it overwrites those files. | 14:47 |

| john___ | hello will someone please help me get ubuntu going on my toshiba m505, the gui is acting funny i think it might have to do with toshiba special keys | 15:18 |
| tomgra | no raid | 15:18 |

| aeon-ltd | tomgra: then i have no idea sorry | 15:18 |

| anygivenname | IIutz: do I add MaxAuthTries=3 ? | 15:19 |
| anygivenname | is it like this | 15:19 |
| rhorstkoetter | hi. I'd like to "net usersahre" my DVD drives across my LAN but problem is that they are mounted to /media/label | 15:19 |
| llutz | anygivenname: MaxAuthTries 3 | 15:19 |
| rhorstkoetter | thus there isn't a consistent mount point | 15:19 |
| anygivenname | IIutz: does sshd control the access to my system though network....right? | 15:20 |
| llutz | anygivenname: its the configuration for your openssh-server | 15:20 |
| rhorstkoetter | any ideas how to share the drives whatever label to inserted media has? | 15:20 |
| ganeshran | hi what I should give for last columns. Its some options field | 15:20 |
| rhorstkoetter | s/to/the | 15:20 |

| Valerio85 | hi everyone. i have installed kernel 2.6.36 to let my audio and led dimming of my Vaio works. Now i have to reinstall nvidia drivers but i can't go on because the compiler in use is gcc4.4 and the kernel compiler is 4.2. What can i do? | 15:21 |
| ganeshran | llutz: thanks :) I will restart and see if its getting mounted. | 15:21 |
| ganeshran | love IRC support :D | 15:21 |
| anygivenname | IIutz: pls explain more.....what I want to do it set 3 trials for trying to access my system remotely then it locks the access of the IP trying to fool the system......I was told ssh is the one I should amend settings for | 15:22 |
| tomgra | Does anyone know why I cannot do a clean install on a 1 TB drive? | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | I ran the alternat install due to my older HW not working on the live-cd , but now I get a grub.cfg hang and dpkg lock , during the updates install . If I run the dpkg unlock and configure -a commands apt just tries to generate grub.cfg again and returns to the hang. Of course when I reboot grub is gone | 15:23 |
| llutz | anygivenname: and sshd_config on your system is the place to configure this. other ways to obtain that could be fail2ban or denyhost | 15:23 |
| almis | hey guys anyone know how command cat work? | 15:23 |
| llutz | almis: it gices files out (to stdout) | 15:24 |
| __cool__ | almis: the budgie knows | 15:24 |
| llutz | gives | 15:24 |
| ganeshran | llutz: its working!!! yay!! | 15:24 |
| blackice87 | cat is a beautiful command | 15:24 |
| TANK8465 | lmao. man cat | 15:24 |
| llutz | ganeshran: if you need write-access, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 15:24 |
| llutz | cat is useless in most cases :) | 15:24 |
| almis | I must Use the command cat to display the file new_list.txt. | 15:24 |
| sresu | Can ssh work for my home and hostel in the same city? | 15:24 |
| llutz | almis: cat new_list.txt | 15:24 |
| anygivenname | IIutz: then setting MaxAuthTries 3 needs more info regarding baning the IP trying to connect | 15:24 |
| blackice87 | "cat new_list.txt" | 15:24 |
| anygivenname | IIutz: I mean additional command | 15:25 |
| almis | cat: new_list.txt: No such file or directory | 15:25 |
| llutz | anygivenname: look at fail2ban or denyhosts | 15:25 |
| almis | this message appear | 15:25 |
| llutz | almis: cat path/to/file | 15:25 |
| __cool__ | almis: then you can't because the file doesnt' exist. as cat: says | 15:25 |
| faim | hi | 15:25 |
| almis | its exist is on almis/opsys | 15:26 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | Might anyone have any idea why my package information keeps telling me it was last updated 19 days ago? | 15:26 |
| john___ | exit | 15:26 |
| __cool__ | almis: you may have to 'cd opsys' then or whatever | 15:26 |
| Valerio85 | hi everyone. i have installed kernel 2.6.36 to let my audio and led dimming of my Vaio works. Now i have to reinstall nvidia drivers but i can't go on because the compiler in use is gcc4.4 and the kernel compiler is 4.2. What can i do? | 15:26 |
| __cool__ | almis: before using the cat | 15:26 |
| almis | will try now | 15:26 |
| llutz | almis: cat almis/opsys/new_list.txt | 15:27 |
| __cool__ | almis: find out (with 'pwd') where you are. cd to the missing paht components | 15:27 |
| anygivenname | IIutz: ok I put MaxAuthTries 3 in the Authentication section in sshd_config.....where can I find denyhosts? | 15:27 |
| llutz | anygivenname: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page | 15:27 |
| llutz | anygivenname: both should be in the repos | 15:28 |
| almis | pwd say me that i here /home/almis/opsys | 15:28 |
| almis | and my file is there | 15:28 |
| almis | but when i use cat | 15:28 |
| almis | i have the same proglem | 15:28 |
| ganeshran | llutz: I gave the boot option as rw. Wont i get write access by default? | 15:28 |
| llutz | almis: ls *.txt | 15:28 |
| __cool__ | almis: you see it with ls? try 'ls -l *.txt', maybe it's some special file or so | 15:28 |
| almis | oh the problem is what .txt | 15:28 |
| almis | when i write | 15:28 |
| BluesKaj | Guess I'm in grub's dependency hell or it's equivalent. Maybe I have to regress to an older ubuntu on the desktop pc | 15:28 |
| almis | without it it work | 15:28 |
| llutz | ganeshran: only root will have rw | 15:29 |
| crashev | I did dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 and now both these partitions have the same UUID and the system went crazy - how to fix that ? | 15:29 |
| tudalex | guys | 15:29 |
| __cool__ | almis: probably you could have used 'cat new<TAB>' <- the tab key shows possible completions in the bash shell | 15:29 |
| ganeshran | llutz: I am able to edit files | 15:29 |
| tudalex | how can I extend a lvm? | 15:29 |
| ganeshran | ganeshran: What kind of write access do you mean? | 15:30 |
| thevishy | ganeshran, !sudo | 15:30 |
| almis | ok tnx | 15:30 |
| thevishy | thevishy, !google | 15:30 |

| thevishy | try to find software that are file renamers | 15:31 |
| thevishy | in windows there are many should be something in Linux also | 15:31 |

| psycho_oreos | Metalan, its in G mode, well what are you transferring/receiving anyway? | 16:02 |
| Metalan | Lots of big files | 16:02 |
| Licuadora | aeon-ltd, to use them in folders, or whatever | 16:02 |
| Metalan | Videos | 16:02 |
| Besogon | People, Don't you find that UNR10.10 greatly slow? | 16:02 |
| aeon-ltd | Licuadora: you mean as the folder thumbnail image? | 16:02 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: Could it be bad wireless drivers? | 16:02 |
| Licuadora | aeon-ltd, I don't know, maybe it is what I am looking for... | 16:02 |
| izinucs | Valerio85: load the previous kernel.. uninstall the nvidia drivers.. load the new kernel.. find the launchpad PPA with the latest nvidia drivers and let that install them for you. | 16:03 |
| psycho_oreos | capon, looks like from that dmesg output, the drive was detected half way.. it might be a dead drive or the connection was interrupted when detecting (and re-detection was not made) | 16:03 |
| aeon-ltd | Licuadora: do you mean to 'theme' all icons? | 16:03 |
| Licuadora | aeon-ltd, the thing is, I want to use those images as icons for some boring looking folders | 16:03 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, it might be but it could be numerous things.. anything from the protocol used to transfer the files to the drivers and other usual wireless issues | 16:03 |
| Licuadora | aeon-ltd, no theme icons, jpg or png images | 16:04 |
| capon | psycho_oreos, what could I do PS thanks anyway ;) | 16:04 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: This is from a shared folder in OS X, is that samba? | 16:04 |
| Licuadora | aeon-ltd, Like, I downloaded this emulator (NEBULA) and inside this folder there is a .exe image, I want to use that image instead of the folder | 16:04 |

| r0bert | as fas as i understand, the xurrent version of X wont work with the legacy nvidia driver | 16:05 |
| Licuadora | aeon-ltd, just go to propities and change, but I dont know where all those icons hide | 16:06 |
| wking | apr parameter is incorrect .It must specify install prefix,a build directory ,or an apr-config file . configure failed for srclib, | 16:06 |
| wking | Help me? | 16:06 |
| psycho_oreos | capon, I'd first retry connecting the USB first to see if there's any new messages.. and if the drive actually does work inside windows it might be some weird driver fault under linux (which is quite rare considering there's a mailing list I just read shows that it works, just the owner's hard disk is dead) I'd probably file a bug. If the drive is actually dead, there's no need to beat around a dead dog :) | 16:06 |
| IdleOne | Licuadora: /usr/share/icons | 16:06 |
| r0bert | aeon-ltd: that's not what i asked <. | 16:06 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, hmm it most likely would have been smbfs.. I'd check it through mount | 16:07 |

| lxderules | How would you go about making ubuntu boot from initrd in order to create a temporary ram filesystem structure that allowed mounting an encrypted root partition? | 16:08 |

| Sean93 | how do i install an iso from a .sh file? | 16:08 |
| john_____ | hello im using an m505 toshiba laptop and the wirless id not working on installed system but it seemed to have worked on the boot cd | 16:08 |
| Besogon | Why do I not hear any complaint about UNR and it's speed? All works fine exept for my? | 16:09 |
| Licuadora | Is there apackage that looks for all your icons in Ubuntu? | 16:09 |
| izinucs | Sean93: an iso is an image of a cd or whatever.. a .sh is typically a program or script | 16:09 |
| Licuadora | Like an Icone Finder? | 16:09 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, yeah it would have been roughly the same as smb.. never tried that but I can get around almost 8-9 times the speed of what you got using NFS and/or rsync between two computers over wireless G (both running linux) | 16:09 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: I'm getting like 1.5 mb/s if I connect my Ubuntu HTPC to my router via ethernet | 16:09 |
| john_____ | what command do i issue to see which wirless chip i have? | 16:10 |
| psycho_oreos | john_____, depends on how the device is connected.. either lspci or lsusb | 16:10 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: 2 mb/s actually | 16:10 |
| Sean93 | izinucs: i mounted the iso and inside there is a .sh file, how do i run it? | 16:10 |
| Segaja | hi, when my system tells me that there are updates available and i open the update-manager i can't install them, because nothing happens when i click on "Install Updates" | 16:10 |
| Segaja | ho can i fix that? | 16:10 |
| ExpDate | is possible to chose the apperance theme form terminal | 16:10 |
| ExpDate | ? | 16:10 |
| ExpDate | *is it? | 16:10 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, yeah that's quite a bad performance, it sounds like its an issue using cifs probably | 16:10 |
| aeon-ltd | Besogon: its not really a support problem, though i heard intel atom cpus have dropped in performance since 10.10 | 16:11 |
| izinucs | Sean93: sh <name of file.sh> | 16:11 |
| Sakara | I would like to allow non-root users to use "scanimage" I am having terrible trouble getting this to happen? | 16:11 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: How can I get the same speed using wireless? I can't connect this computer to my router all the time | 16:11 |
| john_____ | psycho_oreos: looks like its not listed in my lspci but its an internal wifi | 16:11 |
| tabaka | you can run .sh file by typing in terminal sudo ./(nameoffile).sh | 16:11 |
| lazarus_ | Package dependencies cannot be resolved | 16:11 |
| Sean93 | izinucs: just the name, or the location? | 16:11 |
| Eighteens | john_____: try sudo lshw -C network | 16:11 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, I'd try looking at other protocols for the file transfer between the two devices for starters | 16:11 |
| tabaka | location too of course | 16:12 |
| psycho_oreos | john_____, pastebin me your lspci output | 16:12 |
| Craig` | just inserted my bugs bunny lost in time game, which i plan to install with wine, but when i try double clicking the cd icon i get, `unable to mount location: internal error: no mount object for mounted volume' | 16:12 |
| john_____ | Eighteens: what is the -C? | 16:12 |
| izinucs | Sean93: tabaka also says ./<filename.sh> .. if you use sudo in front it will run as root.. maybe not what you want. | 16:12 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: I mean, get the wireless transfers as fast as if I connect my ubuntu box via ethernet | 16:12 |
| Metalan | 2mb/s is good enough | 16:12 |
| Besogon | aeon-ltd, uhh.... Why are they still naming UNR as UNR if it can't work on netbooks? | 16:13 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, you can't get wireless to go as fast as wired, but again you need to look at using alternative protocols like rsync for example | 16:13 |
| Eighteens | john class | 16:13 |
| john_____ | psycho_oreos: using the lshw i found that it may have been listed but both are realtek so i thought it was the eth0 | 16:13 |
| tabaka | u can run also by typing ./<filename.sh | 16:13 |
| IdleOne | Besogon: it works fine. | 16:13 |
| aeon-ltd | Besogon: it does, just not that great at the moment | 16:13 |
| Metalan | psycho_oreos: How hard is it to configure rsync? | 16:14 |
| psycho_oreos | john_____, I need lspci output | 16:14 |

| john_____ | Eighteens and psycho_oreos ok the lshw says the wifi chip is DISABLED | 16:14 |
| psycho_oreos | Metalan, shouldn't be too hard | 16:14 |

| psycho_oreos | Metalan, not really :) there's plenty of howtos.. if not I'd look at using other services/daemons.. there's plenty of ways for one to be able to setup transfers between two devices | 16:15 |

| Craig` | BluesKaj, so i found sr0, but then what do i do, double clicking = could not disable, no app for displaying block device files | 16:17 |
| john_____ | psycho_oreos: i think that might be the issue as its a toshiba and the hardware buttons were acting up i seem to have gotten most of them to work but looks like the Fn+wifi isnt responding | 16:17 |
| Licuadora | No such utility in Ubuntu? | 16:17 |
| psycho_oreos | john_____, well its really hard to say when you haven't really given me your lspci output.. and now I'll require dmesg output.. I suspect its acpi issue which is typical | 16:18 |

| yellabs | hello there | 16:31 |
| psycho_oreos | john_____, not really, because it seems like you're missing the firmware for the driver or the driver was not compiled with the firmware (either because the dev did not implement a firmware for it or it was not included, etc) | 16:31 |
| momerath | Hey everybody! | 16:32 |
| eaerth | Newa: alright, i ran it and everything is OK. | 16:32 |

| john_____ | psycho_oreos: i think the wireless was working on the boot cd but it may have been what was causeing the system to freeze ive been working on this laptop all night | 16:33 |

| eaerth | Ceno3x: how did you remove it without disrupting opengl? | 16:37 |

| BluesKaj | Ceno3x,, you can try, but I haven't had much luck unless I choose the nearest large center that has a weather station | 16:37 |
| IdleOne | Craig`: killall wine | 16:37 |
| fep | ChogyDan: can i do apt-get install kernel? without making trouble? | 16:37 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: i also have an ati card. | 16:37 |
| docsy | is it possible to format a harddrive from withing busybox? i boot up from a live cd but it fails to load the live image and drops into command line? | 16:37 |
| kaciol | hello | 16:37 |
| dan-myt | on laptop i add ip address give in host box but doesn't connect | 16:37 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, in xorg.conf . check the man page "man radeon" , i using the xorg-edgers ppa | 16:37 |
| sacarlson | dan-myt: remote desktop will only provide you an IP address if you are on the same local lan. sounds like you are now in the wan internet. for that you might need to have noip.com address setup to contact your remote pc | 16:38 |
| ChogyDan | fep: it is easier than what you've done so far. Just sudo apt-get remove linux-image whatever, and then make sure to reinstall that image before you reboot. Also, make sure linux-generic is installed too | 16:38 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: i'm also using xorg-edgers as well. | 16:38 |
| Ceno3x | BluesKaj, my city has a weather center lol it's on weather.com, I was hoping I could somehow use that code... I don't really know where ubuntu fetches the weather information | 16:38 |
| fep | ChogyDan: ill try to find a how to | 16:38 |

| nation | hey everyone | 16:39 |
| nation | i have a few questions | 16:39 |
| brontoeee | momerath, i had to install win7 yesterday...., i think ubuntu is curently the sexiest os in the marker (even with the compiz weirdness.....) | 16:39 |
| zolomon | Gaah! I've forgotten my password :( How can I reset it without having to reinstall my computer? :/ | 16:39 |
| IdleOne | nation: ask away | 16:39 |
| ChogyDan | fep: or maybe: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic | 16:39 |
| nation | first thing i need to do is bridge my wirless card to my lan card | 16:39 |
| IdleOne | !ics | nation | 16:39 |
| ubottu | nation: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 16:39 |
| nation | how do i go about bridging connections | 16:39 |
| momerath | brontoeee, I dunno about that. OSX is pretty slick. | 16:40 |
| Craig` | IdleOne, it's saying no proccesses called wine | 16:40 |
| ChogyDan | !password | zolomon | 16:40 |
| ubottu | zolomon: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 16:40 |

| docsy | is it possible to format a harddrive from within busybox? i boot up from a live cd but it fails to load the live image and drops into command line? | 16:40 |
| dan-myt | hello | 16:40 |
| nation | i tried firestarter i get some errors | 16:40 |
| brontoeee | momerath, ubuntu still wins (i'am actually an osx user as well) | 16:40 |
| ChogyDan | fep: oh yeah, pae | 16:40 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: uhmmm, i'm not exactly sure, i did it all through terminal with help from someone i met in here - they had experience with radeon and such and recommended using xorg-edgers to get my opengl to work better and it did, although now my screen is going black rather unpredictably... it was just from moving windows but earlier it happened jst from opening firefox. | 16:40 |
| tensorpudding | docsy: does it have fdisk/cfdisk? | 16:40 |
| momerath | brontoeee, lol I'll agree that its really good | 16:40 |
| zolomon | thanks ChogyDan h | 16:40 |
| fep | ChogyDan: ok, ill try that | 16:40 |
| Ceno3x | Craig, do this for instance "ps aux | grep .exe" assuming the process name of the game you want to kill ends in .exe | 16:40 |
| docsy | didnt have fdisk i'll check for cfdisk | 16:41 |
| momerath | brontoeee, I just gave up on installing OSX on this machine and went with Ubuntu. It was that or deal with Windows again. | 16:41 |
| brontoeee | momerath, oh, actually i have a real mac, but we are off topic now | 16:41 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, well check /etc/X11/xorgc.conf and see if has a line activating gallium | 16:41 |
| momerath | brontoeee, Same here. Sorry for the topic derail | 16:41 |
| docsy | no fdisk or cfdisk | 16:41 |
| docsy | guess i'll need to format it some other way | 16:41 |
| dan-myt | hello | 16:42 |
| tensorpudding | docsy: according to busybox.net it comes with fdisk, which can edit the partition tablet | 16:42 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, it should be something really intuitive with Gallium on it like "Gallium3d "On" " | 16:42 |
| tensorpudding | docsy: i think it depends on how busybox was configured; fdisk might have been disabled | 16:42 |
| docsy | anyway to enable from within busy box itself? | 16:42 |
| tensorpudding | docsy: it's something that is compiled in, so no | 16:42 |
| ExpDate | how to select/config ubuntu theme/apperance from terminal? | 16:43 |
| docsy | argh | 16:43 |
| docsy | ok | 16:43 |
| tensorpudding | docsy: which busybox are you running? | 16:43 |
| ExpDate | please answer that, at least answer is that possible? | 16:43 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: i have an Xwrapper.config but no xorg.config file... ;S | 16:43 |
| shark360 | hi all | 16:43 |
| * john_____ installed ndis and downloading drivers | 16:43 | |
| docsy | its 1.15.3 | 16:44 |
| docsy | @ tensorpudding | 16:44 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, oh boy. Well I don't know what you did on your system then, you are sure thought that gallium is indeed activated? | 16:44 |
| eaerth | yes, i ran compiz-check or whatever that was and it's there. | 16:45 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, compiz-check? what's that? | 16:45 |
| eaerth | no wait, nevermind, that wasn't what told me it was still on here, i did this - glxinfo|egrep "render|nGL" | 16:46 |
| john_____ | psycho_oreos: wait a second the realtek website has linux drivers listed http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=230&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2302 | 16:46 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on RS482 is what comes up, among other things. | 16:46 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, ah, I see | 16:47 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: and since the guy isn't online and seems to have gone away for a while i have no idea how to fix it... it was working rather great though other than the black screen - i can't figure out what would be causing it? | 16:47 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, well shoot, I don't know man, although i should remark the name of the file is xorg.conf and not xorg.config | 16:47 |
| n0wje | I have a deskjet 1430 printer installed and hplip 3.10.6 driver installed and it wont print. printer installed fine.but won't print. any ideas?I have 10.04 installed too. | 16:47 |
| tomgra | will any drive work in ubuntu? I have a 1 tb seagate that will not work and I am going to return it today because ubuntu cannot install on it. | 16:47 |
| momerath | brontoeee, Fixed! | 16:47 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: oh yeah, sorry, that was my bad. it's not there... | 16:48 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, well gallium isn't even near ready so it should be that... | 16:48 |

| Odd-rationale | Hello! I have a bash question. If i do 'echo {a..z}' I get all the letters from a to z. If I do 'echo {0..9}' I get all the digits. How can I get the alphanumeric together? {a..z0..9} does not work. Thanks! | 16:48 |
| brontoeee | momerath, what was it? | 16:48 |
| tomgra | Gangrel you need to setup SAMBA | 16:48 |
| Gangrel | tomgra thank you | 16:48 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: hmmm... i'm trying to remember what he told me to run in terminal that installed a file... it had something to do with pixel or something rather... | 16:48 |
| john_____ | psycho_oreos: how do you know its the se the lspci just says (rev1) | 16:49 |
| momerath | brontoeee, Had to use the CompizConfigSettingsManager. Go to General Options -> Display Settings. Check Sync to VBlank, Uncheck Detect Refresh Rate, set the Refresh Rate to whatever your monitor is set to. | 16:49 |
| lazarus__ | can i purge firefox from my system | 16:49 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, well dude I can tell you what you should do conceptually. Revert to the original x configuration, that means getting rid of xorg-edgers and whatever custom config you have, then install xorg-edgers on a clean slate if you so wanted | 16:50 |
| momerath | I also went into my xorg.conf and added Option "DynamicTwinView" "False" to my "Device" section | 16:50 |
| dagnachew | hello everyone | 16:50 |
| momerath | Everything looks great now | 16:50 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, since I don't know your custom config I'm afraid I can't help with getting rid of it | 16:50 |
| dagnachew | ani idea what is the name of this theme ? http://zork.net/~nick/screenshots/colorcomparison.png | 16:50 |
| momerath | brontoeee, The only problem now is that my theme is all messed up. | 16:50 |
| psycho_oreos | john_____, was a rough guess but some info maybe found here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers | 16:51 |
| nation | how can i use or get grsecurity or is this outdated | 16:51 |
| lazarus__ | can i purge firefox from my system | 16:51 |
| nation | or what is the most powerful firewall and AV for this | 16:51 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: shoot... i'd be more than willing to do that too. and likewise, i have no idea how it's configured since the dude is MIA........ | 16:51 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, and a tip for the future. Always keep a record of the things you do to your computer. Otherwise you end u like this, u did something you don't understand and it doesn't work. A reinstall is the simplest and it's rather silly to solve problems like that in linux | 16:51 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, *is the simples solution | 16:52 |
| brontoeee | momerath, ic | 16:52 |
| eaerth | Ceno3x: i actually did keep a record of it but for some reason that last bit of information is the only thing missing from it! ;S | 16:52 |
| grid__ | ey | 16:52 |
| Ceno3x | eaerth, lol it happens I guess, but try to be more thorough next time. and with such remarks I depart, bye and gl! | 16:53 |

| Guest55948 | ok | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest55948: may be easier to just track down some external speakers that also have a headphone jack built into them. Its possible the bug may get fixed in newer alsa versions.. but for a older pc. that might not be the case. | 17:03 |

| LDC | guys, i am on Ubuntu 10.10 with a 'normal' install which means the /home is in the same physical partiton as my OS install. I just formated a windows NTFS partition into ETX4. How do that I turn that whole EXT4 new partition into the /home/Downloads partition? | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you did a normal install? booted the cd. repartuitoned the disk? or did you use the 'install in windows' feature? | 17:10 |
| zico | tensorpudding: the system is taking up winXP as default but not getting option for ubuntu | 17:10 |
| Daniel2 | LDC, delete the original /home/yourname/Downloads then mount the new partition | 17:11 |
| tensorpudding | LDC: you can edit /etc/fstab to include an entry for /home/Downloads, that mounts that partition | 17:11 |
| tensorpudding | zico: are you booting from the drive that you installed Ubuntu on? | 17:11 |
| zico | DR_willis: install in windows | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC: mount it to /home/yourusername/downloads or whever. and chown it to be owned by the user. sudo chown username:username /home/whatever/downloads | 17:11 |
| LDC | tensorpudding: i don't konw what line to paste into fstab | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: thats known as a 'wubi' install.. You have 2 actual hard drives? or 1 drive with 2 partitions? | 17:11 |
| zico | Dr_willis: yes i have done a wubi install..i have 1 HDD with 4 partitions | 17:12 |
| tensorpudding | LDC: something like /dev/sdXY /home/Download ext4 defaults 0 1 | 17:13 |
| hippie | hi all | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: its possible wubi must be on C: - i dont use wubi. and i dont reccommend using wubi. | 17:13 |
| hippie | just a question, how do I reinstall a program threw command shell? 10x | 17:13 |
| tensorpudding | LDC: where X and Y are the letter for the disk, and the number of the partition on the disk | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC: its 'better' to use the UUID type entry in the fstab. instead of the /dev/sdXX type entry. but either can work. | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC: check the existing fstab and see the regular lines. yours should be similer. | 17:14 |
| zico | Dr_willis: actually the ISO file i dwnloaded individually via torrent, placed in E: drive, started install by mounting in demon tools.. | 17:14 |
| karlo94 | in firefox 4 I clicked Tabs on Top (View > Toolbars > Tabs on Top), and nothing happens.. | 17:14 |
| sofaking88 | I need help connecting to the internet on virtual box. It's not working for me :( | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you really should do a 'normal' install. if you want the best linux experience. | 17:15 |
| tripelb | zico and you cannot get to any of the wubi information unless you boot from that windows install. FYI | 17:15 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: will it connect to the local network? | 17:16 |
| zico | <tripelb> zico and you cannot get to any of the wubi information unless you boot from that windows install ///// plz elaborate!! | 17:16 |
| * ederaldo is using X-Sys v2.2.0 (http://dev.gentoo.org/~chainsaw/xsys) | 17:16 | |
| zico | Dr_willis: i guess for that i have to uninstall winXP.. | 17:17 |
| Killaklown | can someone please tell me... why da *uck is my sudoers file not working ... i'm trying to use NOPASSWD... just like in the man pages... but its still asking me for passwords when I use sudo :( | 17:17 |
| EddiX | zico: Agree with Dr_Willis, burn the ISO and boot from CD to install, that's the best and safest way. And no, you donät have to uninstall windows. | 17:17 |
| LDC1 | guys | 17:17 |
| LDC1 | i am sorry | 17:17 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: It did, but not anymore. Does installing guest additions have anything to do with it? | 17:17 |
| tensorpudding | LDC: it might be better to use the UUID of the partition, which can be found using 'sudo blkid /dev/sdXY' | 17:17 |
| LDC1 | can you type me once again what solution you gave me? | 17:17 |
| LDC1 | something happend to my chat client | 17:18 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: I bet you upgraded your kernel. if so you need to reinstall to compile the drivers for the new kernel | 17:18 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: first you need to figure out what the device id of the partition is, something like /dev/sda1 for for the first partition on the first hard disk | 17:18 |
| tripelb | zico, when Dr_Willis says that wubi must be on C: it means- nothing at all about the install disc. Yours was a on-a-HD liveCD. the wubi is the "Ubuntu folder". ((to clarify what I said, you have to boot from the HD that has Windows and the wubi but must boot into the wubi to access those files. Cant get there fro another Ubuntu insatll. That's gotten in my way. | 17:18 |
| zico | EddieX: I guess mounting the CD via daemon tools serves the same purpose right? | 17:18 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: My kernel? | 17:19 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: it should be shown in gparted or the disk utility | 17:19 |
| tripelb | Is there a program that will start an internet radiostation as an alarm. And with a certain volume on the station. Does this exist? (10.04) | 17:19 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: yes it requires custom drivers for each kernel you install | 17:19 |
| LDC1 | yup tensorpudding SDB1 | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you can install ubuntu alongside xp. You will need to reparittion the disk. | 17:19 |
| nicofs | I need help with my tv-card (Terratec Cinergy Hybrid XE). according to linuxtv.org it is supported - but it doesn't work. | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you do NOT do a full/normal isntall by using daemon tools. :) you burn the cd, or make a bootable flash drive. | 17:20 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: okay, now do 'sudo blkid /dev/sdb1', and that will give you the UUID | 17:20 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: did you upgrade like at 10.10 lately? | 17:20 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: Ahh so do I have to go to my manufactor's website and get them? | 17:20 |
| Killaklown | please help with sudoers someone | 17:20 |
| Killaklown | please | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: its possible you can remove your wubi install and reinstall it to the c: and it may work. | 17:20 |
| Killaklown | i'll pay someone to help me with this suoders problem | 17:20 |
| EddiX | zico: No, you have to boot from the installation CD in order to do a "normal" installation. | 17:20 |
| sofaking88 | saracarlson: Yeah, I did | 17:20 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: no it's just a reinstall to have it auto compile the new ones | 17:20 |
| momerath | So when did Ubuntu become so awesome and usable? | 17:20 |
| momerath | This thing is flying and not messing up | 17:21 |
| Killaklown | momerath: ===> there is the door... | 17:21 |
| Diamondcite | tripelb: I think audacious might have an alarm plugin. but it needs to already be running, another option is to try to make a cron job which start it daily. | 17:21 |
| momerath | Killaklown, I'm not being sarcastic! | 17:21 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: then you add a line "UUID=<the uuid given before> /home/Downloads ext4 noatime 0 1" to /etc/fstab | 17:21 |
| Killaklown | momerath: ok | 17:21 |
| Killaklown | momerath: u are welcome here brother | 17:21 |
| Killaklown | momerath: ur muslim right? | 17:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | momerath, What OS were you using before ? | 17:21 |
| Guest55948 | guys i think i found the chipset for my sound, i ran lshw and i found "MCP73 High Definition Audio" below Multimedia | 17:21 |
| momerath | I really mean it. I'm really impressed by how far its come | 17:21 |
| Killaklown | yeah | 17:21 |
| Guest55948 | that is what i need to search to find a solution for my problem ? | 17:21 |
| Killaklown | ubuntu rox man | 17:21 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: I did upgrade to 10.10, so what do I have to do? | 17:21 |
| momerath | I was using Win7 before this. It started slowing down and getting crappy so I replaced it. | 17:22 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: I am only guessing that you upgraded you kernel maybe look at uname -a and see what you now have installed | 17:22 |
| === OerHeks is now known as Oer | ||
| Guest55948 | anyone ? | 17:22 |
| lukyluciano | ciao a tutti | 17:22 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: you can do that using gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 17:22 |
| Diamondcite | Killaklown: the sudoers file is already configured or not configured yet? | 17:22 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: oh ok then I'm correct. then just go to synaptic find the installed virtualbox and click reinstall | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest55948: seems about right to me. | 17:22 |
| noob-tux | ubuntu 10.04 is a weird one! updating and getting error with badsig....following instruction on how to get rid of the gpg badsig error works fine....then 2minutes later after u get rid of the gpg badsig error doing sudo apt-get update ..... backs the gpg badsig error...is this a joke? from 9.10 it's the same bug we're facing....if only i'm a good programmer i might have fix this bug | 17:23 |
| Guest55948 | ok, thanks | 17:23 |
| zico | @Dr_willis/@tripelb: tnkz guyz fr da input..don't have a blankCD now..will try it out tomorrow..if you can share your emailID with me i can mail you guys if I face any issues.. | 17:23 |
| Killaklown | Diamondcite: already configured... i have ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL | 17:23 |
| Killaklown | for my user name | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you can use a flash drive and make a much faster to install from 'usb flash disk installer' | 17:23 |
| LDC1 | thanks tensorpudding | 17:23 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: or go to http://www.virtualbox.org/ and get the deb package from them and install that. they might have a new one that's better anyway | 17:23 |
| LDC1 | i will return after restarting my system tensorpudding | 17:23 |
| trojan_spike | Dr,, can u advise me on where to get to learn all of terminal commands plz.. | 17:23 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: before you do | 17:24 |
| zico | what is the minimum disk space required for a flas drive? | 17:24 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: make sure that the folder /home/Downloads exists | 17:24 |
| sofaking88 | I downloaded the latest version. Last night as a matter of fact | 17:24 |
| Quantum_Ion | trojan_spike, It takes a while to learn all the terminal commands | 17:24 |
| maedox | !terminal | trojan_spike | 17:24 |
| ubottu | trojan_spike: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 17:24 |
| alaing | hi i bought dlink usb wifi adaptor how do i connect to my wifi on ubuntu 10.04 | 17:24 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: otherwise there will be an error during boot because that filesystem won't mount | 17:24 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: I downloaded the latest version. Last night as a matter of fact | 17:24 |
| ziftex | Sinc my Canon EOS camera is not supported on other then Windows or Mac, And sugestions for opensource software for it ? | 17:24 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: ok then install it | 17:24 |
| Diamondcite | Killaklown: Try something like "Killaklown ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | 17:24 |
| LDC1 | tensorpudding: so i need to create a *Downloads* folder in my partition? | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | trojan_spike: bash tutorials, theres no site to cover them ALL. :) learn bash.. and then you will know the core of what commands you will use 90% of the time. | 17:25 |
| Killaklown | Diamondcite: ok | 17:25 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: no, in /home | 17:25 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: I did install it... | 17:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | ziftex, your camera may not be supported but the SSD card in the camera is so insert it into your computer to get the photos onto your computer | 17:25 |
| Diamondcite | Killaklown: Be sure to replace your nick with your own username | 17:25 |
| tensorpudding | LDC1: the partition that you're mounting will be placed in that folder, so the folder has to exist on whatever partition your /home is in | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you can install from a 1gb flashdrive i belive. | 17:25 |
| sacarlson | after the upgrade to 10.10? | 17:25 |
| Killaklown | Diamondcite: I owe u my right heart man | 17:25 |
| Killaklown | Diamondcite: thanks | 17:25 |
| sajish | hi | 17:26 |
| LDC1 | ok done | 17:26 |
| ziftex | Quantum_Ion, Well sure. Its not so much that. its more the raw image import, and working with them. | 17:26 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: Yeah, after 10.10 | 17:26 |
| zico | Dr_willis: i've got a 1GB Pen drive with me..plz advice what do i do with that..:) | 17:26 |
| LDC1 | do I have to delete my downlods folder form the original /home? | 17:26 |
| alaing | how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition | 17:26 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: after you upgraded to 10.10, you install the new version of virtualbox? | 17:26 |
| Diamondcite | Killaklown: Your welcome, but I think it's poor security, enjoy :) | 17:26 |
| Killaklown | Diamondcite: dude I love poor security | 17:26 |
| Killaklown | Diamondcite: and thanks | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: you are confuseing /home with /home/YOURUSERSNAME i think | 17:26 |
| sofaking88 | sarcarlson: Yeah, I did | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: yoru users Downloads directory is in /home/yourusersname/Downloads | 17:27 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: then maybe it's in the configuration of network devices | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: you could rename it to something else.. then make a new Downloads directory, and mount the filesystem there. | 17:27 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: Ok, what do I have to do? | 17:27 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: did you port the original installed systems into the new installed virtualbox? | 17:27 |
| sajish | how will i change the login screen ?? | 17:28 |
| thevishy | zico, just burn the ISO into the USB and chose boot option as USB and you are set to install | 17:28 |
| LDC1 | Dr_Willis: so i just add my username in the line command to fstab that tensorpudding gave me. right? | 17:28 |
| tensorpudding | Killaklown: it's not as big a problem if you never ever run any software that you don't trust, never run any internet-facing services, and never let anyone you don't know use your machine | 17:28 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: Yeah, I did. | 17:28 |
| Eagle | hi, I have ubuntu and vista on remote controlled machine. the thing is that ubuntu starting by default and if I restart computer, I will lost remote control of it. How can I change grub preference from vista? | 17:28 |
| wad | Hi folks. We're trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an eeePC netbook. On the third attempt. When we do an update, it breaks. It's a problem with the libc version: "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev: libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.12.1-0ubuntu8); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.12.1-0ubuntu6." I think it's the 3rd party box we checked. We're trying again without it checked. Question: How do I add this stuff later? | 17:28 |
| zico | thevishy: question how do you burn in a pendrive? an' can i format the pen drive after install is complete? | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: you could mount the thing to /media/Downloads then link to whever you want also.. | 17:29 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: I'm not sure but look in the config window in virtualbox before you start on the system you want to run and look at the network setings. I have mine set to bridge | 17:29 |
| alaing | how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition | 17:29 |
| evilbug | is 10.10 more efficient/less bloated than .04? | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | zico: you can erase it later. yes. use a tool like Unetbootin on windows to put the iso on a pendrive | 17:30 |
| thevishy | !makeiso | 17:30 |
| nicofs | I need help with my tv-card (Terratec Cinergy Hybrid XE). according to linuxtv.org it is supported - but it doesn't work. | 17:30 |
| thevishy | !iso | 17:30 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 17:30 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: I tried bridged as well, none of the options seem to work for me :( | 17:30 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: I think it defaults to nat that might be ok for you I'm not sure | 17:30 |
| LDC1 | Dr_Willis: here's what i have done. added *UUID=<the uuid given before> /home/lenin/Downloads ext4 noatime 0 1* to fstab. then created *home* iinside which *lenin* inside which *Downloads* in the next partition. seems fine? | 17:30 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: can you ping your local sever address from the virtualbox system? | 17:30 |
| thevishy | zico,http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBkQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FInstallation%2FFromUSBStick&rct=j&q=how%20to%20burn%20ubuntu%20iso%20to%20usb&ei=rQ3DTMXlHY64vgOsnuW-CA&usg=AFQjCNGAqxFwbchu0B2n2HkNDDrHttAp1A&cad=rja | 17:30 |

| momerath | Alright so I have a 32gb SSD that I've installed Ubuntu on. I have a 150gb drive that I want to install extra software and games to. How do I get Ubuntu to do that? I don't want it to just fill up the 32gb drive with everything. | 17:31 |
| * ab13 listening sabrina - she will be loved | 17:31 | |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: lookd about right. Move stuff out iof that Downloads directory befor you mount the filesystme to it. | 17:31 |
| Guest55948 | if i use pulse audio volume control and change the output devices port to "Anolog Headphones" the bar below for volume is jumping up and down indicating their is loud sound but there is no sound coming through the headphones.. anyone know how i can fix this please :( | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: rember that Case is imporntant also when setting up linux paths/dirs/names | 17:31 |
| LDC1 | isn't there anything i am supposed to do to delete the original *Downloads* folder Dr_Willis | 17:31 |
| brontoeee | momerath, 32gb is plenty for software as well | 17:31 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: How do I ping my local server address? | 17:31 |
| zico | thevisy/Dr_willis: checking out now.. | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: MOVE the stuff thats in it.. somewhere else.. BEFOR you mount that filesystem | 17:32 |
| Killaklown | anyone ever try sudo rm /etc/sudoers??? that will really make ur day :) | 17:32 |
| Killaklown | I just did that | 17:32 |
| Killaklown | fackkkkkkkk | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: filesystems mount 'TO' a directory. they appear as a direcory then. | 17:32 |
| momerath | brontoeee, You think so? I guess I'm used to Windows where everything that is installed takes up a massive amount of space. | 17:32 |
| LDC1 | test LDC1 | 17:32 |
| Licuadora | iF i INSTALL automake 1-2-3-4-5 and all different versions, Will I have any problems while compiling? | 17:32 |
| Quantum_Ion | Killaklown, Do you have rsync installed on your computer ? | 17:32 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: yeah | 17:32 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: I think why? | 17:33 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: the system you run the virtualbox run ifconfig to find the local address. and on your virtualbox try ping yourlocalhostaddress | 17:33 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: backup script? | 17:33 |
| Quantum_Ion | Killaklown, you should make a directory in /opt called /opt/dump | 17:33 |
| LDC1 | just out of curiosity about how IRC clients work. Does name highlight if i type your name in the end Dr_Willis? | 17:33 |
| Licuadora | Becuse I was reading that 1.9 may not work as good as 1.5 and so on | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: thats a feature of your (and mine) irc clients. | 17:33 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: I cant remember my root passwword either? | 17:33 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: lol | 17:33 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: omg | 17:33 |
| Diverdude | How do i give write and change permissions to the user which apache runs under for the directory /var/www/mediawiki/images/tmp ? | 17:33 |
| LDC1 | i am using pidgin. so does is matter where in the line your name is typed Dr_Willis? | 17:34 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: gonna have to boot live cd | 17:34 |
| Quantum_Ion | Killaklown, and dump your backup linux fiilesystem into /opt/dump | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: its a feature of the persons CLIENT if it does it or not. | 17:34 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: ok | 17:34 |
| brontoeee | momerath, yes, massive games usually come with some sort of custom installer, so that can be installed on your big drive | 17:34 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: also on your virtualbox you should take a look at route and ifconfig and /etc/resolve.conf | 17:34 |
| momerath | sweet mullets | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | LDC1: pidgin sort of sucks for irc in many ways | 17:34 |
| Diverdude | ? | 17:34 |
| LDC1 | anyays.. thanks for your help tensorpudding and Dr_Willis. i will be back soon:) | 17:34 |
| Quantum_Ion | rsync -r -t -v --progress /home /opt/dump/ | 17:35 |
| Diamondcite | Killaklown: I thought the default ubuntu installs don't have a root password.. | 17:35 |
| wildc4rd | afternoon all | 17:35 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: Ok I got "sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0" if that helps | 17:35 |
| thevishy | !root | 17:35 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 17:35 |
| Diamondcite | Quantum_Ion: Shouldn't he make sure he has enough free space first? | 17:35 |
| Quantum_Ion | Killaklown, try install grsync it might be easier apt-get install grsync | 17:35 |
| tensorpudding | Diamondcite: they don't, but you can re-enable it if you really want to | 17:35 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: ok that must be for ping? yes so the hardware simulation part is working | 17:36 |
| Quantum_Ion | Diamondcite, We assume he has enough free space on his system | 17:36 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: so maybe you just have the route or dns setup wrong | 17:36 |
| alaing | how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition | 17:37 |
| Quantum_Ion | Use rsync or grsync to copy your systems files | 17:37 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: if it's setup as bridge what is the dhcp server? | 17:37 |
| nicofs | I need help with my tv-card (Terratec Cinergy Hybrid XE). according to linuxtv.org it is supported - but it doesn't work. Any useful tv software would help as well. additionally I can't install xbmc. | 17:37 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: It's set up as NAT right now | 17:37 |
| alaing | how do i setup wifi on ubuntu 10.04 server edition. I used to have it setup but I've since replaced my wifi adaptor and now it cannot find my netwrok | 17:37 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: ok so what does route show? | 17:37 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: when you ping google.com what does it say? | 17:38 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: keep in mind I deleted my sudoers file so no sudo but I'll just reboot in a minute from recovery and fix it | 17:38 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: thanks | 17:38 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: What kind of wifi adapter is it? | 17:38 |
| Licuadora | I was just curios, if I install eg. Ver 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 of the same package will all of them have incompatibility issues? | 17:38 |
| Licuadora | like, crash? | 17:38 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: Do you know if it's a supported adapter? If not sure could you please provide it's model number and manufacturer? | 17:38 |
| alaing | usb dlink DWA-140 Usb adaptor | 17:38 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again. | 17:39 |
| * ab13 listening sabrina - out of reach | 17:39 | |
| alaing | Diamondcite: its a dlink DWA-140 | 17:39 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: Researching.. please standby. | 17:39 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: ok then maybe dns is setup wrong. what is the file at /etc/resolve.conf show | 17:39 |
| alaing | when i do iwconfig i can see wlan1 where my other one was wlan0 | 17:40 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: many thanks | 17:40 |
| gartral|d | alaing: on your phone? | 17:40 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: or maybe the route gateway is setup wrong. what did route show you? | 17:40 |
| alaing | gartral|d: nope its a usb adaptor and its connected to my pc | 17:40 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: The wlan number should not matter much unless you are using text config.. do you have network manager? Does that still work? | 17:40 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: cant reboot now, I almost finished download this torretn | 17:41 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: bout to watch this movie breh | 17:41 |
| Killaklown | Quantum_Ion: you know how us pirates do things.... arrrrrrr | 17:41 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: resolve.conf is a blank file.... :/ | 17:41 |

| alaing | Diamondcite: i dont have network manager but network connections? | 17:41 |
| sofaking88 | sarcarlson: How do I check the route gateway? | 17:42 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: well I don't think that would work. so what did route give you? maybe dhcp not giving you anything? | 17:42 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: Close enough, does it list any network? | 17:42 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: If on the command line does "nm-tool" list any networks? | 17:42 |
| kedare | Hello | 17:42 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: it only allows me to create | 17:42 |

| kedare | Do we still use update-rc.d to disable a service at start on upstart ? | 17:42 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: You are trying to connect to an access point right? Not hosting it instead? | 17:43 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: My dhcp is on automatic...? | 17:43 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: I'm trying to connect my pc to my router | 17:43 |
| alaing | let me try that command | 17:43 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: I don't know what automatic is so what did it give you? | 17:43 |
| ubuntu_noobie | just booted ubuntu installer 10.10 off a usb flash drive (amd64 iso) and I am trying to install | 17:44 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: I assume the system you are running has dhcp active | 17:44 |
| ubuntu_noobie | it hangs after I select forward on the 1st step (ensure its online, want to download updates and 3rd party)? | 17:44 |
| ubuntu_noobie | it just sits there with the thingy turning... any ideas? | 17:45 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: nm-tool shows me two networks both are not my network. My network is up and running as i can connect from two other machines running windows | 17:45 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: the dhcp is automatic on the host system(ubuntu) | 17:45 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: Did you set it to hidden (not broadcast SSID) ? | 17:45 |
| Killaklown | bout to watch a movie yall | 17:45 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: no its not hidden | 17:45 |
| Killaklown | was nice chatting | 17:45 |

| fcuk112 | guys, i've installed 10.10 on my joojoo - how do i install netbook edition? | 17:49 |

| sofaking88 | sacarlson: route...? then what...? | 17:51 |
| Protocol84 | try usring the other disk creator, formatting the drive first | 17:51 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, Audio device is made by NVidia usually closed source drivers Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1) | 17:51 |
| barbara_ | that bug ont eh link you gave me says there is no sound ? .... | 17:51 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: the gatway address? | 17:51 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: For the sake of arguement I'll state that inrange is about 1-2 meters from the wireless router. | 17:51 |
| barbara_ | my problem is i get sound in both speakers and headphones rather than the one | 17:51 |
| maltz | Hey guys, I just installed 10.10 and now when I attempt to join a chatroom on stickam the splash page where one would enter the password and/or be directed to the chatroom itself is devoid of text and I cannot enter a password nor hti the enter button, is this a flash problem?screenshot: http://bayimg.com/bAaOpaada | 17:51 |
| ubuntu_noobie | the hd is already formatted | 17:51 |
| ubuntu_noobie | it has gentoo on it | 17:51 |
| barbara_ | i can get sound but in the wrong place.... | 17:51 |
| anygivenname | Diamondcite: I have remote access enabled & I want to ban the parties who trying to access.....I have set sshd to 3 trials only | 17:52 |
| Diamondcite | barbara_: I used to have an option to 'duplicate' the sound output, but I can't remember if it was a bios option of a sound driver option. | 17:52 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: the defaut? default router 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 should look like this | 17:52 |
| sofaking88 | sacarlson: I type them in and command says it's not recognized :/ | 17:52 |
| barbara_ | oh :/ | 17:52 |
| barbara_ | but basically there is no fix for this ? | 17:52 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: i should be in range its sitting next to my other windows pc that is connected to my wifi and its only about 3metres away from the router | 17:52 |
| Diamondcite | anygivenname: I have some degree of trouble helping since while I do use fail2ban I have it on another distro and not ubuntu =/ | 17:53 |
| barbara_ | or no work around ? becuase i really dont want to have to go back to windows.. | 17:53 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: you get nothing back from the command $route ? | 17:53 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: the activity light on the usb adaptor is going crazy | 17:53 |
| Diamondcite | barbara_: I don't remember.. I never had this issues since my speakers can be turned off =/ | 17:53 |
| barbara_ | :( my speakers are built into monitor no on or off button | 17:54 |
| sacarlson | sofaking88: maybe you need to be super user? try sudo route | 17:54 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: That means it's doing something.. but what... | 17:54 |
| anygivenname | the issue with sshd is that it locks connection....so if hacker fails it locks connection....so when i try to connect it does not allow me | 17:54 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: Please note extension tables of strong metals can cause heavy inteference to an adapter. | 17:54 |

| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, This card that you have is manufactured by NVidia a closed source driver company for the most part so you might consider buying a new sound card if your issue is that bad | 17:56 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: ok it has popped up asing for the password again | 17:56 |
| brontoeee | psyt7, /me | 17:56 |
| barbara_ | buying a new anythign isnt an option for me though :/ | 17:56 |
| plouffe | barbara_, can you go to your sound controls and turn off speaker and turn on headphones? | 17:56 |
| Diamondcite | alaing: In everyway that sounds like it's physically out of range to me. | 17:56 |
| barbara_ | its either fix the problem, or put up with it or go abck to windows | 17:56 |
| barbara_ | ill take a look plouffe | 17:56 |
| anygivenname | Diamindcite: how do I do it | 17:57 |
| barbara_ | in the sound preferences plouffe ? | 17:57 |

| barbara_ | when i connect my headphones, the sound continues to play through my speakers whilst also playing through headphones at same time | 18:05 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: connects on the windows machine | 18:05 |
| barbara_ | i thought sound should stop playing in speakers when i plug headphones in the front headphone jack of my computer | 18:05 |
| barbara_ | it did on windows on this computer atleast | 18:05 |
| Quantum_Ion | okay barbara_ | 18:07 |
| crimsun | barbara_: right. Have you tried installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic and rebooting? | 18:07 |

| barbara_ | ok systems and sound im there | 18:07 |

| barbara_ | yup thats checked | 18:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, click on hardware | 18:09 |
| barbara_ | ok | 18:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, make sure you are using internal audio | 18:09 |
| barbara_ | i think so that is the one thats highlightwed when i open hardware | 18:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, 1 output/1input check that one | 18:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, test sound | 18:09 |
| barbara_ | these are the settings i already had tbh :( | 18:10 |
| barbara_ | but i can try again | 18:10 |
| ziftex | Hmm. Photoshop CS5 in wine seams near impossible. | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ziftex: I think the wine app database would agree with that statement. | 18:10 |

| Quantum_Ion | look at the bottom | 18:11 |
| barbara_ | ok | 18:11 |

| barbara_ | what profile should i try is Anolog stereo duplex doesnt work ? | 18:12 |
| barbara_ | *if | 18:12 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, Plug in your headset and test each setting in that area | 18:12 |
| barbara_ | ok | 18:13 |
| alaing | Diamondcite: no problem thanks you for the help so far. much appreciated | 18:13 |
| Ahmet | Quantum_Ion: i have the same problem with barbara_ , i tried every possible configuration in sound preferences. Nothing helps | 18:13 |
| barbara_ | im half way throught he profiles myself :( but so far they either give no sound or same problem as before :( | 18:14 |
| Skinie | hi rom | 18:14 |
| Skinie | hello | 18:15 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, you have sound but the issue of sound coming out of your headphones and computer speakers at the same time is a minor issue and can be solved by playing around with the configuration of your sound preferences/profile | 18:15 |
| barbara_ | Quantum_Ion, I just tried all the profile settings not one worked :( | 18:15 |
| barbara_ | i just tried the profiles though and neither fixed it | 18:16 |
| puwei | could I set one folder ,make all the "apt-get install xxx" files in that folder , so I can send that folder to other computer and then reinstall | 18:16 |

| barbara_ | and that package is ok to install on 10.04 LTS ? | 18:21 |

| barbara_ | ok, thanks | 18:23 |
| svchost1 | recommendations: i am going to be downloading ubuntu 10.10 for a virtualbox virtualmachine.. 64 bit or 32 bit? | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis | actually isent alsa installed by default? or did i miss somthing. | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis | svchost1: i doubt if you gain much by going 64. Unless you give the VM a LOT of ram. | 18:24 |
| barbara_ | i get this | 18:24 |
| barbara_ | alsa-base is already the newest version. | 18:24 |
| barbara_ | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 18:24 |
| barbara_ | from running your sudo command | 18:24 |
| barbara_ | ill try "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic" | 18:24 |
| svchost1 | but will it harm me to use 64? | 18:24 |
| m3asmi | Dr_Willis: my ubuntu deconnect only!!!! | 18:24 |
| barbara_ | using sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic gives me an error "E: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic" | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | svchost1: proberly not. But im not sure you can use a 64bit os in vbox in a 32bit host machine.. never tried. :) | 18:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | 32 bit = 32 straws vs 64 bit = 64 straws supposedly 64 bit is supposed to be faster | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | barbara_: yoy are using ubuntu 10.10 ? | 18:25 |
| xangua | barbara_: replace maverick with lucid...... | 18:25 |
| barbara_ | no im using 10.04 | 18:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | If you have more that 4GB of RAM memory then most likely you are on a 64 bit computer | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | barbara_: You may want to try a 10.10 live cd. and see if the problem is still in 10.10. | 18:25 |
| barbara_ | :/ | 18:25 |
| barbara_ | im begining to think linuyx is too much effort tbh | 18:26 |
| Dr_Willis | that would been the first thing i would of tried. :) | 18:26 |
| barbara_ | im not really up for downloading more stuff and trying | 18:26 |
| barbara_ | been working on this sound prob most the day | 18:26 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, it takes a while to learn Ubuntu Linux | 18:26 |
| Dr_Willis | barbara_: do what ever you want then.. | 18:26 |
| barbara_ | yes but | 18:26 |
| crimsun | barbara_: sorry, I assumed you were using maverick (10.10) and not lucid (10.04) | 18:26 |
| carlos28 | hello community | 18:26 |
| carlos28 | i have some problems with ubuntu maverick | 18:26 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, the bright side is you have sound | 18:26 |
| carlos28 | in the hibernation process, ubuntu freeze | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis | one of the main features of a new release is updated drivers and bug fix's . so its possible that in 10.10 the problem may not be there. | 18:27 |
| barbara_ | yes but sound that doesnt work properly :/ | 18:27 |
| crimsun | barbara_: we're all trying to help you get it working :) | 18:27 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, hey that's free software it is not perfect | 18:27 |
| carlos28 | is not completely stable yet, right? | 18:27 |
| * Dr_Willis notices that on this pc.. he dosent even have speakers hooked up.. | 18:27 | |
| barbara_ | i know and i appreciate that, thanks :) | 18:27 |
| jim__ | trying to get apache setup to run a server, how does it load? | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis | carlos28: depends on the MB/Bios/other things.. I dont find hibernate/suspend stable in windows7 either. | 18:27 |
| Protocol84 | -.- how do I add an .sh to the startup?? I have tried adding it in the startup application GUI, I have also tried adding it to the ~/.config/autostart and it will not run.... but the .sh works if I run it | 18:27 |
| barbara_ | but sorry if i seem a bit funny | 18:27 |
| barbara_ | but it can be frustrating when you have soemthing not working properly :( | 18:28 |
| Quantum_Ion | barbara_, With open source operating systems things may or may not work | 18:28 |
| ubuntunoobz | wow.. | 18:28 |
| Quantum_Ion | No guarantee | 18:28 |
| crimsun | barbara_: yes, but we're also spending our free time trying to assist you :) | 18:28 |
| barbara_ | i know, thanks :) | 18:28 |
| barbara_ | sorry if i seemed a little funny | 18:28 |
| ubuntunoobz | i try /join #winehq and all i get is the lag thing in the left corner going mad! | 18:28 |
| carlos28 | the last version doesnt crash in there | 18:28 |

| linuxtester | hello | 18:29 |
| k-rad | there is no way to choose from preset solid colors is there ? i'd like to try some new ones out for my background, though i hate picking up the pen and starting somewhere. i dig pastels, and dark blue/green. | 18:29 |
| barbara_ | ill thinka botu downloading a 10.10 live cd and giving it a go | 18:29 |
| barbara_ | *about | 18:29 |
| frankbro | What would one do if, after a kernel update, indicator applet is fuckign beyong belief? | 18:29 |
| k-rad | frankbro, correct your language, then it might fix itself | 18:29 |
| Dr_Willis | k-rad: i recall seeing web sites that have 'color sets' for web design. go to one of them. then your 'pen' can select the colors you like. | 18:30 |
| barbara_ | before i go though one last question if you dont mind, whats a good instant messaging client for linux which has webcam support when talking to people using MSN ? | 18:30 |
| k-rad | Dr_Willis, thank you Dr_Willis. | 18:30 |
| Quantum_Ion | frankbro, Elaborate on this 'indicator applet is fuckign beyong belief? | 18:30 |
| Ignatius881 | hello | 18:30 |
| frankbro | Well, the connection indicator is seperated from the other part of the indicator applet and can't be moved | 18:31 |
| frankbro | Most of the icons that would be grouped under the indicator applet are seperated and can't be individualy moved | 18:32 |
| Quantum_Ion | frankbro, glitchs happen try rebooting to clear up the mess ??? | 18:32 |
| frankbro | nor will they move if I move the whole indicator applet | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | like the mail and volume icons? | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. interesting | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps a reset of the panel. | 18:32 |
| frankbro | Yea, trash and workspace switcher moved too, but I fixed them | 18:33 |
| suprengr | hi folks, last night I unstalled 2 games (Nemiux and Beneath a Steel Sky). On restat Iall my window borders had disappeared. Solved by re-installing package ubuntu-desktop - no probs. On starting pooter this a.m. the borders had all gone again... solved in the same way and no problem since. I am, however, very curious as to what happened. Any ideas...? | 18:33 |
| Quantum_Ion | GTK/Gnome glitchs | 18:33 |
| Squarism | how does on get the result of last executed command? | 18:33 |
| suprengr | *restart | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | suprengr: restart compiz.. or install the fusion-icon tool and it can handle compiz crashing. | 18:33 |
| gnubu | where does ubuntu keep its package files? | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | suprengr: next time it does it try alt-f2 and 'compiz --replace' | 18:33 |
| suprengr | Dr_Willis: so a compiz problem then??? | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gnubu: there is a Cache of the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis | suprengr: sounds like compiz crashign to me. | 18:34 |
| Quantum_Ion | Squarism, type history | 18:34 |
| suprengr | Dr_Willis: cheers & thanks a lot. | 18:34 |
| Quantum_Ion | Squarism, assuming you are using bash ??? then typing history will bring up previous typed commands in the terminal | 18:35 |

| jerk | hey. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LL, can I know if there is a supported Bittorrent client? | 18:35 |
| ruedii | I'm running into a problem on Apt. Any time I try to install a package it reports "Segmentation faulty tree 0%" | 18:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. seems some of my nofify area icons are gone also. :0 volume and mail icon. :) | 18:36 |
| k-rad | Dr_Willis, thank you again :) | 18:36 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: theres dozens of Bittorrent clients you can use. Transmission is the default | 18:36 |
| gnubu | Dr_Willis: all I got under /var/cache/apt/archives is lock and /partial and partial is empty | 18:36 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: its rather 'basic' but it works | 18:36 |
| Metalan | Anyone here with experience with windows 7/ubuntu shares? | 18:36 |
| trojan_spike | suprengr, when i had the windows border problem it was cause by the reflexion in compiz settings.. might be the same with you.. | 18:36 |

| bonez2046 | I have scanned a 5 page document which I need to email out as a .pdf .. but I hit save and it just sits and doesn't save.. doesn't crash, just doesn't save.. this was scanned using gscan2pdf.. the scanning and post scan processing is great.. just wont save to .pdf | 18:36 |
| wad | Question: Installed Ubuntu 10.10, but didn't check the box to get the 3rd party stuff. Is there a way to get all that goodness, after the install? | 18:36 |
| Krishnandu | !anyone | Metalan | 18:37 |
| ubottu | Metalan: 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? | 18:37 |
| suprengr | trojan_spike: cheers... investigating now | 18:37 |
| ruedii | Question: I'm running into a problem on Apt. Any time I try to install a package it reports "Segmentation faulty tree 0%" How do I fix this? | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | wad: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will get most of them. | 18:37 |
| wad | Dr_Willis, thanks! | 18:37 |
| jerk | thanks, Dr_Willis. will try | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | wad: that little check box is SO handy. :) | 18:37 |
| bonez2046 | wad: what about 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' ? | 18:37 |
| gnubu | Dr_Willis: well this is a new install, must be why ;) | 18:37 |
| k-rad | is anyone aware if printing to modem fax can be done over a major voip provider ? | 18:37 |
| bonez2046 | Dr_Willis: beat me to it | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | gnubu: that makes sence. | 18:37 |
| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, open the documents in OpenOffice and covert the documents to PDF files in OpenOffice | 18:37 |
| Metalan | k. I'm having an issue trying to connect to my Win 7 share from Ubuntu. It keeps prompting me for my password but I believe I didn't set a password for samba shares | 18:38 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: ok, I will do that.....just frustrating that scan2pdf doesn't | 18:38 |
| Metalan | My homegroup password doesn't work either | 18:38 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: ok, I will do that.....just frustrating that scan2pdf doesn't 'work as advertised' | 18:38 |
| Metalan | (Also, thanks Krishnandu) | 18:38 |
| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, dude it is free software it is a gamble no guarantee it will work | 18:38 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: true.. thanks | 18:38 |
| wad | It would be handy if that checkbox included this information: "To perform this step later, run 'apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'" | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: you mean from Windows --> to Linux (shares) or Linux (using nautilus) to --> windows shares? | 18:38 |
| Metalan | Linux -> Windows share | 18:38 |
| Diverdude | ok...i created this .htaccess file: http://pastebin.com/b8kdpVbj and put it in the directory i want to protect. I added each of the 3 usernames to the password file using the htpasswd program. But when i try to browse to the folder it is still open. It does not require any password. How do i change that? how do i then enable password protection on the folder? | 18:38 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Well, if you have shared a folder/drive it should be accessible without any password | 18:38 |
| Metalan | That's the thing | 18:39 |
| LDC | hey guys. what is the safe way to update BIOS through 10.10 | 18:39 |
| Metalan | I can see the Windows 7 on the network page on nautilus | 18:39 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Ohh you need to configure it in share mode. | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: i often have to enter a share name manually. smb://servername/sharename or use the ip. instead of servername. | 18:39 |
| k-rad | LDC, preferrable not through linux itself, though it has been done before | 18:39 |
| LDC | so what should i do? k-rad | 18:39 |
| adsfih | is there a way to unify all the copypaste buffers together? I'm tired of selecting something in opera, pressing ^c and then realizing that shift-insert doesn't paste the same thing when I'm in vim. Java programs have their own copypaste buffer, X has its own, gnome/kde have their own - it's bloody annoying | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: I agree with Krishnandu - sounds like you need to set up windows share with some different settings. I tedn to just make a Public share. :) | 18:40 |
| Metalan | Dr_Willis: Tried the manual share name thing, same results. I believe they're already public, how can I check? | 18:40 |
| jerk | okay. I have a 500 GB HD, which is brand new. I installed Ubuntu from USB, and now on "Computer" I find only "File System", which is marked 430 GB. is this normal? can I still make partitions? | 18:40 |
| k-rad | my screen got wiped. see if there is a dos method and use a bootable freedos cd with the required files. are transfer freedos to a flash drive. very often the modern motherboard has flashing as a bios function itself | 18:40 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, smb.conf the share mode should be public / share | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: under windows.. they got that weird shareing 'properties/permissions' thing. :) ive rarely used it. | 18:41 |
| Ubuntu | hi | 18:41 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: ok, I have the 5 pages saved as .tiff file.. so openoffice will only open the first page, not all 5 pages.. | 18:41 |
| adsfih | and has anyone managed to get python-opencv to actually work? It's broken out of the box here (not on the path, then if you add it to the python path it fails loading cv_) | 18:41 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Well....did you configured smb.conf??? | 18:41 |
| Metalan | Dr_WIllis: It's set to "Everyone" allow everything | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: theres a swap partition, and so on see what 'sudo fdisk -l' says about the aprtition layout. | 18:41 |
| Metalan | Kishnandu: Is that on Linux? What do I need to do? | 18:41 |
| czz | eth0 won't show up sometimes until i reboot, what could be the issue? | 18:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: be sure the linux workgroup is the same as the windows workgroup also. (thats in /etc/samba/smb.conf) | 18:42 |
| gnubu | doing a fresh install of 10.10 in the window "Allocate drive space" it gives two choices: New Partition Table and Revert. What's the diff? | 18:42 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Thats the problem, You haven't yet configured your sharing configuration file. Config it. Use man smb.conf to understand it better | 18:42 |

| Krishnandu | Metalan, Lemme suggest you a nice way out. Understanding smb.conf is not hard but you need time to read the manual to get it's syntax. Better install system-config-samba and use it configure your smb.conf. Thats GUI :) | 18:44 |

| Dr_Willis | gnubu: then I start the installer after i got the disk setup. | 18:45 |
| trojan_spike | ethernet controller are one of the first things loaded, so strange it doesn't load.. Check forum with your laptop type to see if there is anything there.. | 18:46 |

| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, I am installing it on my system right now to check it out | 18:48 |

| Dr_Willis | jerk: there was a reason i mentioned 'pastebin' :) | 18:49 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: I don't want to share a Linux folder. I want to access a Windows folder from Linux. Do I configure it there? | 18:49 |
| jerk | damn | 18:49 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dr_Willis, His screen name should have given you a hint to what he was about to do | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: install the pastebinit command and do a 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' is the easy way | 18:50 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, lol...no....then why did you said Dr_Willis that you want sharing for Linux --> Windows ?? | 18:50 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: Seems to be a two-way misunderstanding. :) What do I need to access my windows share then? | 18:51 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: will try to do that :p ....meanwhile did you get what i pasted? | 18:51 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Uninstall system-config-samba and go to windows and share the windows folder/drive/whatever you want. Now come back to linux and see whether you can access the files or not | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: nope.. | 18:51 |
| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, What are you trying to scan ? | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: theres nice gui tools that show how your hard drives are partitioned also | 18:51 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: it's just a 5 page document.. it's already scanned, and I deskewed it.. got it all cleaned up in gscan2pdf. | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: system -> admin -> disk utility (i think) | 18:52 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: the issue is, I need to save it as a pdf.. | 18:52 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: okay.... | 18:52 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: Already did that. The problem is that Nautilus prompts me for my username/password. I tried with homegroup password and no password. Nothing | 18:52 |
| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, what did you write the document in ? | 18:52 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: and yet it wont save as pdf.. will save as every other format in gscan2pdf but not to pdf | 18:52 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: the document was a printed document sent to me in the mail, which I then scanned.. .. | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: i thought it wanted my windows users password.. Im not using homegroup stuff on windows7 at all. | 18:53 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: okay. apparently my HD is a single disk | 18:53 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Ya as far I think you didn't shared it publicly | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: a single partition? the default install setup makes at least a / and a Swap normally | 18:53 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, ya check what Dr_Willis suggested | 18:53 |
| Metalan | Dr_Willis: Me neither. I have no password on the Windows server. Krishnandu: Well, the permissions are set to "Everything" for "Everyone" on Windows | 18:53 |
| bonez2046 | Quantum_Ion: any ideas? | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: that may be the issue.. Ive had shares on windows NOT work properly unless i set up a user with a password. | 18:54 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Well, in my side it works fine with just share this folder | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: even when tryign to do everythign to everyone.. - i still had to give the user (my wife) a password , for them to actually work. | 18:55 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Overall check your Windows, it's an windows issue, everything is fine from Ubuntu side | 18:56 |
| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, you might want to try Simple Scan | 18:56 |
| Agent001 | Does ubuntu deflect viruses even after opening the file? | 18:57 |

| Metalan | Krishanndu, Dr_Willis: I added a Windows password and I used it to login to my share in Nautilus. Nothing. :( | 18:58 |
| Quantum_Ion | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:robert-ancell/simple-scan | 18:58 |
| jerk | am i back? | 18:58 |
| brontoeee | Agent001, windows viruses will not afect linux | 18:58 |
| songer | wnat do you want? , xangua | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: ive found each release of windows gets weirder and harder to get going with shares.. its hard to grouble shoot. :( | 18:59 |
| Krishnandu | Agent001, As I said there is no virus in Ubuntu so it will read the file as normal file. So no harm | 18:59 |
| Agent001 | wow.. linux = 1337 | 18:59 |
| svchost1 | anyone know where i can get a clean version of windows 95? lol | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: theres the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands that may give some info on what shares are seen. | 18:59 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: so, how do I create partitions now> | 18:59 |
| Sean93 | to get a games mouse to work the wine website says i have to "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." how do i do this? | 18:59 |
| netrat | please anybody just give me a tip of how to remove kernel-mode-setting from my ubuntu 10.04 :( | 18:59 |
| no--name | What if you use wine | 18:59 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Well...it works fine for me with Win XP. Dunno about Win Vista or Win 7 | 18:59 |
| no--name | Can Windows viruses run under wine? | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: i use gparted to make my partitions normally. or good old 'fdisk' and mkfs as needed. | 18:59 |
| netrat | is it inside some package? | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | no--name: some can. :) some malware can.. some just crash | 18:59 |
| miguel | ke onda | 18:59 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest54714 | ||
| Metalan | Dr_Willis: The network page on Nautilus finds the Windows server without issue | 19:00 |
| Krishnandu | no--name, what do you mean by virus?? If it's an .exe file yes it can | 19:00 |
| Metalan | All right, however... | 19:00 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: I'm scared of command line... | 19:00 |
| Metalan | I have Ubuntu dual booting on that machine | 19:00 |
| Metalan | I'll share those folders from there temporarily | 19:00 |
| Ignatius881 | I've a problem with Internet and Ndisgtk :S | 19:00 |
| sajish | hi | 19:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: get over it? | 19:00 |
| sajish | whenever i opened any drive it'll automatically showing the icon in desktop ??? how will i disable that one !! (ubuntu 10.10 x64) | 19:00 |
| Krishnandu | no--name, But lemme also say you, it won't harm ubuntu, coz ubuntu doesn't recognize .exe, so it's another normal file for ubuntu as like .txt files | 19:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: or use gparted i guess... | 19:00 |
| Metalan | What's the best protocol to use to share folders between two Ubuntu machines? | 19:01 |
| no--name | Krishnandu: but if it runs under wine? | 19:01 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: okay....how do I use this? | 19:01 |
| Quantum_Ion | bonez2046, I just ried Simple Scan it works much better than gsane2pdf | 19:01 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, lol.... | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: depends on how much data. and how often you are transfering stuff. | 19:01 |
| no--name | wine only runs .exe riles? | 19:01 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, You set up shares on windows and then booted to Ubuntu and access the shares??? | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | jerk: how can you use gparted? make a new partition, slide it to the size you want.. set its type.. be sure to hit apply when all done. | 19:01 |
| Pirolocito | no--name: wine handless anything you want | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !gparted | 19:02 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 19:02 |
| Metalan | Dr_Willis: Lots. Around 100GB today. I'd need to move about 2GB a week | 19:02 |
| no--name | Pirolocito: what about what you don't want :P | 19:02 |
| Pirolocito | no--name: even files that you want to open with wine software | 19:02 |
| Metalan | Krishnandu: Of course :P | 19:02 |
| Krishnandu | no--name, So what..?? Wine handles it differently. It's a virtual world. No contact with Ubuntu | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: scp is an easy way to do it.. but it can be slower.. but more flexiable in many ways | 19:02 |
| no--name | ok | 19:02 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, God...then how'll it work.... | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: i think NFS is fastest.. but harder to setup. | 19:02 |
| brontoeee | Metalan, i'd use ssh or good old ftp | 19:02 |
| no--name | Krishnandu: So the virus would only see the wine folder as teh hard drive? | 19:02 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Coz you already turned of the shares... | 19:02 |
| Metalan | No... what? | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | no--name: thats how wine works.. | 19:02 |
| Metalan | Ahhhh | 19:02 |
| Pirolocito | NFS is a pita | 19:02 |
| Metalan | No, no | 19:03 |
| no--name | right | 19:03 |
| ubuntunoobz | hey guys, does any1 know a laptop with a great nvidia card thats great with ubuntu,wine and is power full? | 19:03 |
| Metalan | Of course not, krishnandu | 19:03 |
| Krishnandu | no--name, Yes...wine's virtual folder....(or should I say virtual C drive) | 19:03 |
| no--name | yea | 19:03 |
| netrat | guys how can i remove this bloody kernel-mode-setting capability from my ubuntu installation? | 19:03 |
| Metalan | I booted into Ubuntu on the second machine | 19:03 |
| Metalan | Not the one with dual-boot. Come on, I'm not that dumb :) | 19:03 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Ohh then it's ok.. :) | 19:03 |
| no--name | So if wine ran viruses it would not effect ubuntu? | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | sajish: no need to msg me.. and theres gnome settings to 'hide/show' mounted shares.. Ubuntu-Tweak tool has a gui to set it.. not sure how to set it via the gconf editor/commands. | 19:03 |
| ubuntunoobz | hey guys, does any1 know a laptop with a great nvidia card thats great with ubuntu,wine and is power full? | 19:03 |
| frankbro | Is there a way to add entries to the indicator applet, like the network indicator and emesene | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: find a high end laptop with a good nvidia card. :) thats what i did. | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: it also cost me close to $1000 | 19:04 |
| Pirolocito | no--name: wine virus that erase all your info affect ubuntu | 19:04 |
| ubuntunoobz | oh ok i only got a bugget of like 300$ | 19:04 |
| jerk | Dr_Willis: many thanks, buddy. will try this. also i'll reappear here :p | 19:04 |
| Pirolocito | but just your user, that is for sure | 19:04 |
| mun__ | hi | 19:04 |
| Krishnandu | no--name, 1. Coz wine's drives are virtual, doesn't exist in real. 2. Ubuntu don't execute .exe files. It's like another .txt file to Ubuntu. | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: look for a low end nvidia system I guess... | 19:04 |
| sajish | Dr_Willis : got it | 19:04 |
| sajish | danks | 19:04 |
| brontoeee | ubuntunoobz, no way for that money | 19:04 |
| sajish | dhx | 19:04 |
| ubuntunoobz | this laptop came with intel 945gm or a nvidia ... | 19:04 |
| mun__ | does anyone know if lshw -c memory is supposed to show DDR3 RAM as DDR2 RAM? my laptop has a stick of DDR3, but it shows it's SODIMM DDR2. | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: but really for a bit more $$ you can get a LOT nicer system. I splurged this time.. beucase i got sick of the $300 range laptops | 19:04 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: he is talking about wine, no virtual machines | 19:05 |
| Pirolocito | no--name: wine uses linux files as usual | 19:05 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, I know...but how can I make him understand that wine's C:/ drive is another thing... | 19:05 |
| ubuntunoobz | well i got a dell d620 core due 1.8ghz with a 256 945gm chipset with 80 hd and 1gb ram | 19:05 |
| pulido | hii | 19:05 |
| ubuntunoobz | for 249$ | 19:05 |
| no--name | Oh well. | 19:05 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: drive c:/ on wine is just a shortcut to files on ubuntu | 19:05 |
| no--name | I don't even use wine :) | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: :) i got 2. 500GB hd's yes. this laptop is a Back-breaker.. heh | 19:06 |
| Sean93 | how do I "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." in wine?? | 19:06 |
| Pirolocito | no--name: got it? | 19:06 |
| ubuntunoobz | lol | 19:06 |
| cristian_ | hi everyone | 19:06 |
| ubuntunoobz | not bad for 249$ right? | 19:06 |
| Pirolocito | cristian_: hi | 19:06 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, Well...but that doesn't affect Ubuntu(I mean as in his terms with virus) | 19:06 |
| no--name | Pirolocito: yes | 19:06 |
| ubuntunoobz | i see thesegoing for 300$ lol | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: it has enough powar to run Crysis at high settings. :) | 19:06 |
| IdleOne | !ot | ubuntunoobz | 19:06 |
| cristian_ | im a new ubuntu user | 19:06 |
| ubottu | ubuntunoobz: #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! | 19:06 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: it affects only the user home | 19:06 |
| ubuntunoobz | your laptop or mine? | 19:06 |
| Krishnandu | no--name, Just remember one thing, Do whatever you want, Ubuntu is not going to affected with viruses | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: it pays to research whats out there. and fits your budget. | 19:07 |
| ubuntunoobz | i got u botted >.< | 19:07 |
| Altainia | hey, i don't know if anyone has experienced this b4, and i cant find answers elsewhere, but it seems whenever i highlight a URL in Firefox, be it in a web page or even highlight the url in the url bar, an annoying menu shows asking if I want to open the url in firefox, opera, mozilla or if i want to send the url. it uses the icons that came with my cairo-dock theme i'm using, but it only seems to happen in firefox and i can't find th | 19:07 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, Well...tats for Wine...not the Ubuntu.... | 19:07 |
| Pirolocito | no--name: wine is so similar to windows that it can run windows virus too | 19:07 |
| Sean93 | how do I "Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working." in wine?? | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | a rogue app in Wine could delete you users files , but not harm the whold system. (in theory) :) | 19:08 |
| magicianlord | Altainia: do you have add-ons installed for this? | 19:08 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, Ya it can...I said that...but it'll never affect Ubuntu... | 19:08 |
| ubuntunoobz | is the 945gm better then the ati mobility 9000? for ubuntu? | 19:08 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: ok, but for instance desktop on wine is from default your desktop on ubuntu /home/username/desktop | 19:08 |
| jerk | oh yeah...another question....Ubuntu soft center is great, but can it also provide the size of the ware i am about to download and install? | 19:08 |
| Altainia | magicianlord: no, not that i know of. No addons have changed that i'm aware of with the new ubuntu upgrade. | 19:08 |
| Quantum_Ion | I am looking for a Netbook that plays games like Call of Duty the best one I found so far is a Dell MX-11 at $800.00 US | 19:08 |
| Altainia | magicianlord: this problem didn't exist then. | 19:08 |
| acidflash | in ubunt 10.04 | 19:09 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, Ya....that's what Dr_Willis said.... :) It's not going to harmfull for the SYSTEM :) | 19:09 |
| acidflash | does sleep 0.01s work in bash/sh | 19:09 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: if your virus wipe desktop on windows it will wipe your files... | 19:09 |
| Hrimfaxi | Quantum_Ion - anything with ion video card should work fine | 19:09 |
| ubuntunoobz | can i run fear with this laptop in wine on ubuntu 10.10? | 19:09 |
| acidflash | or does it have to be sleep 1 | 19:09 |
| Pirolocito | system will stay just the same.... | 19:09 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, Sorry...I was talking about the system. As he said Ubuntu. | 19:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | Hrimfaxi, Not sure whether to get that Dell MX-11 netbook or an Android phone ? | 19:09 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: :) | 19:10 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, :) | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunoobz: does it run fear well on windows? wine can be slower.. but it depends on the game | 19:10 |
| ubuntunoobz | idk i got winxp on a dual boot and the games that load in wine just crashes on windows | 19:10 |
| * Krishnandu doesn't uses wine. It makes him thinking of running pirated apps. :P | 19:10 | |
| Hrimfaxi | Quantum_Ion - well, it really depends on what you use it for..if you're mainly in to social networking and stuff, the android phone would be better imo | 19:11 |
| Pirolocito | Krishnandu: heheheh, i run because i have to..... | 19:11 |
| Krishnandu | Pirolocito, :) | 19:11 |

| Dr_Willis | brontoeee: the /home/USERNAME/ directory is normally accesavble by wine apps as the 'c:/documents' directoruy or somthing like that. | 19:14 |
| Pirolocito | sudo apt-get install bsdgames -> better than everything | 19:14 |
| === KITTYLENIN is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||

| Ignatius881 | hello | 19:16 |
| servert_m | Is there any repo which can add all very stable release packages to updates for Ubuntu 10.04.1 ? (for example vlc 1.1+ will never add to Ubuntu 10.04.1 but i want to see VLC 1.1.4 or vlc 1.1.x after 6-7 months if it is stable enough . This is just an example but i want to do this for all packages for my system.) Is that possible ? Thanks! | 19:16 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Is there any way to set a package to never be removed once its installed. For example when I strip the system down to a base install with "sudo aptitude purge ~i ~pimportant+ ~pstandard+ ~prequired+"? I've tried aptitude hold on the packages and it didn't work. Would keep work or does that not get remembered permanently? Or is there another way? | 19:17 |
| Diamondcite | WINE My Documents: /home/dcite/drive_c/windows/profiles/USERNAME has symlinks inside it which points back to /home/USERNAME if you delete those it can no longer see your /home | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | servert_m: time to explore the world of PPA's :) | 19:17 |
| Metalan | So I'm now sharing a folder from an Ubuntu box | 19:17 |
| Metalan | How do I get the second Ubuntu box to see it? | 19:17 |
| Pirolocito | on nautilus do smb://IP_MACHINE/SHARE | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Metalan: gnomes connect to server qwizard.. or enter a path like smb://linuxboxname/sharename | 19:17 |
| Ignatius881 | I've problems to connect my PC to internet. Can anybody help me? :S | 19:17 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, You need samba server | 19:18 |
| Diamondcite | Ignatius881: How are you online right now? | 19:18 |
| Ignatius881 | in Windows Vista | 19:18 |
| Ignatius881 | but in Linux it doesn't work | 19:18 |
| Diamondcite | Ignatius881: What type if internet is this? DSL? Cable? Fios? | 19:18 |

| jerk | Dr_Willis: okay, GParted is trying to scare me now. it says it will delete ALL DATA if I try to make a new partition table in it. | 19:20 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, "Failed to mount Windows share" can mean problem with firewall....do you have samba added to firewall..?? | 19:20 |

| Sean93 | does anyone know how to edit the regestry in wine???? | 19:25 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Ubuntu --> Ubuntu?? | 19:25 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: Yep | 19:25 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: wine regedit | 19:26 |
| magicianlord | Is anyone here running Ubuntu or Debian? | 19:26 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, what does /etc/init.d/smb status returns?? | 19:26 |
| acidflash | !cron | 19:26 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 19:26 |
| Sean93 | Diamondcite: how would i"Use MouseWarpOverride->force in the registry to get it working."?? | 19:26 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: On the server or the client? | 19:26 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Server | 19:26 |
| rweng | hi, i want to install vim-ruby on 10.04 LTS, but its only a virtual package. do I have to isntall vim-gnome on my server so i have ruby support? | 19:26 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: I have never heard of it.. I don't know what that does. | 19:27 |
| brontoeee | Metalan, on one or both machines do : apt-get install ssh, then on client open nautilus and 'connect to server', enter user, pass and you are there | 19:27 |
| mdogancay | magicianlord, i am using ubuntu 10.04 lts now | 19:27 |
| Sean93 | Diamondcite: how would i use it though? do i just type it in? | 19:27 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: wine regedit starts a NORMAL regedit just like in windows. | 19:27 |
| brontoeee | Metalan, and server name or ip of course | 19:28 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: But I don't know if it'll have any effect on wine since I never heard of that function. | 19:28 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: What is that feature for? | 19:28 |
| Metalan | Krishnandu: "File or directory does not exist" | 19:28 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Then you didn't installed samba server | 19:28 |
| Sean93 | to fix the mouse in Postal 2 | 19:29 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Without the samba server you can't share that PC's folder with other PC's | 19:29 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: What happens mouse leaves window and stops working? | 19:29 |
| brontoeee | Krishnandu, what are you talking about? ubuntu to ubuntu? | 19:29 |
| mdogancay | Metalan, u use ftp server on any linux dist. | 19:29 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: Yeah. Thanks for all the help so far. I think I'm going to physically plug in the hard drive to the second machine and transfer the files this way, no worries. | 19:29 |
| Krishnandu | brontoeee, Yup...that he said | 19:29 |
| mdogancay | no need the samba for file sharing | 19:30 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Wait | 19:30 |
| Metalan | All right | 19:30 |
| brontoeee | exactly, samba is mess, the easy way is ssh | 19:30 |
| Sean93 | it only works in part of the screen unless i play in windowed mode but then i cant turn proerly | 19:30 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, If you have only two PC's and want to exchange data within them use SSH as brontoeee and Dr_Willis suggested | 19:30 |
| Metalan | k | 19:30 |
| Metalan | So | 19:31 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Think of samba only if you want to LAN them. | 19:31 |
| Metalan | sudo apt-get install ssh on both machines | 19:31 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, sudo apt-get install ssh on both the PC's. | 19:31 |
| mdogancay | hey guys you must to know, samba is not the only option for file shering | 19:31 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, And for Windows --> Ubuntu download and install putty for Windows | 19:31 |
| Sean93 | Diamondcite: it only works in part of the screen unless i play in windowed mode but then i cant turn proerly | 19:31 |
| Diamondcite | Sean93: Have you considered using winecfg to set "Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving their window" | 19:31 |
| mdogancay | u can ftp server in any linuz dist. | 19:32 |
| Krishnandu | !ssh | Metalan | 19:32 |
| ubottu | Metalan: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 19:32 |
| newbie_ | ciao | 19:32 |
| mdogancay | !vsftpd | 19:32 |
| Diamondcite | FTP: ssh or scp is a more secure way of transfering files between systems and is usally less effort | 19:32 |
| Krishnandu | mdogancay, FTP server are not secure | 19:32 |
| X-Sleepy-X | you can even mount a ssh share as a hard drive in windows with the right software... | 19:32 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: Thanks. Once I install that on both machines I can just connect using nautilus on the client machine, right? | 19:32 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, No...if you want nautilus you need to forward X. Otherwise use ssh <ip-add> from terminal and you'll end up with CLI. | 19:33 |
| mdogancay | ssh is not a secure way! | 19:33 |
| Krishnandu | mdogancay, lol :P | 19:33 |
| mdogancay | most hackers using ssh for accesing the linux systems | 19:34 |
| Sean93 | Diamondcite: that doesnt help. also, i'm not getting any sound | 19:34 |
| mdogancay | i know so much malware software for ssh hacking | 19:34 |
| shcherbak | mdogancay: hack me, please! | 19:34 |
| Krishnandu | mdogancay, Learn about SSH please....it's most secure mode of file transfer till now. | 19:34 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Metalan: install openssh-server and set up a SFTP server, then connect with nautilus... | 19:34 |
| getpwnam | anyone know why dillo is not in the repos? | 19:34 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: How do I figure out the server IP? | 19:34 |
| mdogancay | wait a moment | 19:35 |
| mdogancay | i will give some log about it | 19:35 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, You don't know your PC's IP?? Well use hostname then | 19:35 |
| Guest44128 | hi | 19:35 |
| brontoeee | Metalan, on server type ifconfig, it should give you the ip as well | 19:36 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mdogancay: all you need to do is to change the port for ssh and all attacks stop, atleast it did so for me | 19:36 |
| Metalan | Krishnandu: I'm connected to the server on the CLI. How do I transfer files now? | 19:36 |
| mdogancay | Oct 11 11:54:10 alphacore2x kernel: [14117.377676] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:18:f3:04:b1:1e:00:1c:a8:57:9d:37:08:00 SRC=174.143.168.57 DST=192.168.2.100 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=13617 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=33608 DPT=22 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 | 19:36 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mdogancay: also you can install fail2ban | 19:36 |
| Krishnandu | mdogancay, SSH can't be hacked....even with default config | 19:36 |
| Diverdude | How do i make a static ip-address on my ubuntu server v. 10.10? | 19:36 |
| mdogancay | this log line from my ufw log | 19:36 |
| brontoeee | Metalan, on one or both machines do : apt-get install ssh, then on client open nautilus and 'connect to server', enter user, pass and you are there | 19:37 |
| mdogancay | and ip address is a chines IP! | 19:37 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Diverdude: assign an ip to the server in the router | 19:37 |
| Metalan | Krishnandu: NVM, I connected using Nautilus. Awesomeness. thanks :) | 19:37 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, scp or better follow brontoeee if you want GUI | 19:37 |
| mdogancay | this ch guys doing so much attach to all world | 19:37 |
| Diverdude | X-Sleepy-X, using mac address? | 19:38 |
| Metalan | Wow, so slow. It's going at around 500kb/s :/ | 19:38 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Diverdude: yes | 19:38 |
| shcherbak | mdogancay: I have on average 5 visits per day on ssh, 10 on apache, no problem | 19:38 |
| Krishnandu | mdogancay, Well...they are just trying to connect. But SSH can't be hacked. As it can't be exloited. | 19:38 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Diverdude: probably under the LAN section on the router... | 19:38 |
| mdogancay | you know, i told you | 19:38 |
| Metalan | 51 hours left :l | 19:38 |
| Metalan | and that's like half of it | 19:39 |
| Metalan | I think physically connecting the hard drive is the best choice | 19:39 |
| isaias | hi, ive just installed ubuntu 10.10 but i cant find the compiz? | 19:39 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, It shouldn't take this much time...do you use Cat 5e cable?? | 19:39 |
| Metalan | Krishandu: Client is connected wirelessly | 19:39 |
| brontoeee | lmao | 19:39 |
| Diamondcite | mdogancay: For that issue.. move ssh to another port number and that gets rid of almost all automated bots ^_^ | 19:39 |
| mdogancay | i already did | 19:40 |
| mdogancay | thanx | 19:40 |
| Krishnandu | isaias, Right click on desktop > change desktop background > visual effect | 19:40 |
| Diverdude | X-Sleepy-X, it has to be assigned to mac address then...otherwise it does not make any sense | 19:40 |
| Diamondcite | mdogancay: And fail2ban gets rid of the rest :) | 19:40 |
| Krishnandu | Metalan, Ohh.... | 19:40 |
| * Krishnandu wishes good night to everyone :) | 19:40 | |
| rizkhan | hi, i have a corporate proxy which doesnt allow ssh outside the network, how can i access irssi which is running on another server | 19:41 |
| mdogancay | thanx for your info | 19:41 |
| mdogancay | good night | 19:41 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Diverdude: yes, when you're in the interface for your router you will most likely get the option to assign an already connected computer/network card to a certain internal ip by mac which also most likely will be provided.. | 19:41 |
| brontoeee | rizkhan, setup ssh on port 21 if you are not using ftp | 19:42 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Diverdude: either that or make the server always ask for a certain ip, but if that ip is already taken it won't work. | 19:42 |
| rizkhan | brontoeee: n how do I do that .. sorry too naive :P | 19:42 |
| rizkhan | brontoeee: /etc/ssh/sshd_config mofidication ? | 19:43 |
| brontoeee | rizkhan, on server you need to change ssh settings somewhere to listen to port 21 and restart ssh would be abtract :) | 19:43 |
| jo__ | hey, do you know what program you can use to insert a watermark in a pdf file? | 19:44 |
| shcherbak | rizkhan, netcat is good start to check proxy | 19:44 |
| brontoeee | *abstract | 19:44 |
| X-Sleepy-X | rizkhan: /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 19:45 |
| rizkhan | brontoeee: i dont have the access to this address .. as m using a free account on shellmix | 19:46 |
| MilitantPotato | how do I make changes to visudo stick? | 19:48 |
| rizkhan | X-Sleepy-X: i dont have access to this directory as m using a free account on shellmix.com | 19:49 |

| amerinese | Anyone know if there would be any issues with switching /usr/bin/python to point at /usr/bin/python2.7 ? | 19:56 |
| Gnea | amerinese: depends on how it's done, otherwise there shouldn't be | 19:57 |
| amerinese | on how it's done, i would just switch the symlink | 19:57 |
| amerinese | gnea: does that make sense? | 19:57 |
| amerinese | right now it points at /usr/bin/python2.6 | 19:58 |
| Gnea | amerinese: well, it depends which symlink you're referring to, exactly | 19:58 |
| amerinese | the symlink is /usr/bin/python | 19:58 |
| Gnea | amerinese: do you have an /etc/alternatives/python? | 19:58 |
| amerinese | no | 19:59 |
| Gnea | okay | 19:59 |
| amerinese | i don't know what that is | 19:59 |
| Muscovy | Is Ubuntu One down currently? | 20:00 |
| Gnea | it's a typical place for programs to be redirected when you want to switch between versions | 20:00 |
| Gnea | amerinese: however, I don't think that python incorporates that, so you should be fine linking /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2.7 | 20:00 |
| indrit | Hi all! I have newly installed UbuntuNetbookRemix and trying to get Skype work on it. Video is ok, but I cannot make microphone work, although other programs work ok with it... anyhelp? | 20:00 |

| pppeace | hello people, can someone help me with an archive mounter issue? | 20:01 |
| Gnea | pppeace: only if you explain what the problem is about | 20:01 |
| indrit | Gnea, Acer Aspire one D270 | 20:01 |
| rweng | so is there any way to add ruby support to the vim package? vim-ruby is not installable and i dont want to install gnome | 20:01 |
| pppeace | Gnea, i have an iso file that i'm trying to mount, so i right click it and click "open with archive manager". nothing at all happens | 20:01 |
| amerinese | so i guess hopefully any system scripts that really need 2.6 will point directly at 2.6 instead of /usr/bin/python | 20:02 |
| Gnea | pppeace: right, archive managers browse archives (like .zip .tar .tgz .tar.bz2 etc) | 20:02 |
| pppeace | Gnea, sorry i meant archive mounter | 20:03 |
| Gnea | pppeace: if your iso is mounted correctly, you can just browse to it with nautilus | 20:03 |
| Gnea | pppeace: an .iso isn't really an archive, it's an image | 20:03 |
| MilitantPotato | pppeace: sudo apt-get install gmountiso | 20:03 |
| magicianlord | apt-get install uqm uqm-voice | 20:03 |
| pppeace | militantpotato, will that enable to mount iso files? | 20:04 |

| MilitantPotato | pppeace: it's in synaptic also. | 20:04 |
| MilitantPotato | pppeace: that's specifically for mounting image files (ISO among others) | 20:04 |
| Guest44128 | is there an english version? | 20:04 |

| indrit | Gnea, but SoundRecorder works fine, does it means anything? | 20:08 |
| quiescens | rweng: what are you trying to do? | 20:08 |

| jstoone | Hey guys, I've got a school project where I'm programming through a parallel port (the one used for printers in the old times) but as my labtop doesn't have such a thing I've bought a transformer. USB to Parallel&Serial. My question is, Is there a terminal command which can tell me what port the USB is using? cause I'm programming in BASIC and I need to tell what address I'm sending the signal to. Thanks | 20:14 |

| wasutton3_ | any ideas what that might be? | 20:18 |
| Dreams | part | 20:18 |
| Putr | kai6961: vista/7 !== ubuntu | 20:18 |
| kai6961 | lol i was kidding Putr, but nice to see you again :D | 20:18 |
| rizkhan | guntbert: there is no work around ? can i runs a script on the server so that it runs it on say port 3000 and forward it to port 22 | 20:18 |
| guntbert | wasutton3: first question: did you check the integrity of the iso/CD? | 20:18 |
| MilitantPotato | jstoone: dmesg | grep usb if you did it awhile ago. sudo lsusb also would show it I'd think | 20:18 |
| Putr | :( | 20:18 |
| quiescens | rizkhan: are you trying to connect to a server that is running on a nonstandard port, that's just ssh -p (port) | 20:19 |
| guntbert | rizkhan: not without root rights | 20:19 |
| wasutton3_ | guntbert: yes, i got this error with two different downloads whos checksums checked out | 20:19 |
| quiescens | rizkhan: i think the others are assuming you want to change the server's port | 20:19 |
| citytaur | BIG UPS 4 dzragon !!! | 20:19 |
| dzragon | nps citytaur | 20:19 |
| guntbert | wasutton3: strange - can you launch it from the menu? | 20:20 |
| rizkhan | quiescens: since i dont have permissions, i cant run ssh on a different port .. and as guntbert said .. i cant vene forward that traffoc from that port to port 22 without root rights | 20:20 |
| Putr | kai6961: i dont see how that helps me with my openGL issue... all these problems.. i mite have rushed my move to linux... cuz i'll been doing is fixing crashes and stuff that dosent work | 20:20 |
| wasutton3_ | guntbert: no, it tries to start and then closes | 20:21 |
| tom_ | hello | 20:21 |
| rizkhan | that means i cant use irssi using free account shellmix.com in my office :( | 20:21 |
| Terrance | rizkhan: yes you can use another port for ssh | 20:21 |
| guntbert | rizkhan: are you trying to connect to a ssh-server? | 20:21 |
| kai6961 | Putr you using ubuntu? I never had a SINGLE issue with mine, I'm actually using it to fix windows LOL | 20:21 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: are you trying to CONNECT to a different port using the client or BIND the server to another port? | 20:21 |
| Datz | what is default encoding of tty terminal? | 20:21 |
| jstoone | MilitantPotato: http://pastebin.com/fkMSKhuF - This is what I got by using dmesg | 20:22 |
| Datz | I want to set it to use UTF-8 | 20:22 |
| DrManhattan | kai6961, you couldn't fix a thing. You dont know diddly about windoze | 20:22 |
| rizkhan | ilovefairuz: either way.. either run server on different port , or route traffic from that port to port 22 without having root rights | 20:22 |
| MilitantPotato | jstoone: so /dev/usb0 yea? did you try sudo lsub ? | 20:23 |
| kai6961 | DrManHatten I do, but i don't know about my motherboard, | 20:23 |
| bushi | \list | 20:23 |
| * quiescens blinks. | 20:23 | |
| kai6961 | so assuming someone doesn't know anything about windows because they don't know about their motherboard is moot | 20:23 |
| guntbert | wasutton3: really strange - I have to admit I haven't seen that before, so no idea, sorry - did you check the CD itself (from the boot menu) too? | 20:23 |
| DrManhattan | kai - you don't even know how to download drivers for your hardware. | 20:23 |
| kai6961 | I do :| why said i didn't? | 20:23 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: why do you need to connect to the server on a different port? but you can do it with SSH tunneling, IF the server will let you open a port but most likely it won't because of the firewall | 20:23 |
| wasutton3_ | it is really strange, its actually a liveusb | 20:24 |
| bushi | salve | 20:24 |
| bushi | !list | 20:24 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 20:24 |
| kai6961 | I wanted SPECIFIC ones though, so I could go out and get drivers, but since I'm here asking why x64 xp won't install I figured i'd follow step by step | 20:24 |
| quiescens | i still don't understand what they are trying to do | 20:24 |
| rizkhan | ilovefairuz: coz i am unable to ssh to port 22 when m in office behind proxy, i could use port 443 as its open in firewall, but i cant run the ssh server on port 443 as i dont have root rights | 20:25 |
| kai6961 | @ DrManhattan | 20:25 |
| rypervenche | How can I find the version of a program that I have using the terminal? | 20:25 |
| kai6961 | Besides, you never fixed my problem, or even gave advice on it, so how can you comment on it ? | 20:25 |
| DrManhattan | kai - it wont install b/c you don't know what you're doing. | 20:25 |
| jstoone | MilitantPotato: http://treoo2.pastebin.com/zYaXNBZA - This is what I got from sudo lsusb - but what part of it is the address of the usb? | 20:25 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: then there's no way to connect to the server unless you tunnel through a third machine | 20:26 |
| guntbert | rypervenche: usually <progname> -V or <progname> --version | 20:26 |
| rypervenche | guntbert: Thank you. | 20:26 |
| LjL | DrManhattan, kai6961: i suggest if you have to argue, you do that in private. here, instead, why don't you restate your Ubuntu issue in detail if you have one? | 20:26 |
| quiescens | rypervenche: alternatively apt-cache policy (package name) can tell you what version of a package is installed | 20:26 |
| kai6961 | LjL I'm using PlayonLinux and i can't seem to open Nlite as per the steps in a forum to get x64 XP on my box working | 20:27 |
| DrManhattan | ljl I am not arguing. | 20:27 |
| MichealH | DrManhattan: Please remember that we are volenteers providing help. | 20:27 |
| kai6961 | DrManhatten, yes you are , so stop argueing | 20:27 |
| MichealH | We are doing this in our free time :) | 20:28 |
| kai6961 | :d MichaelH <3 | 20:28 |
| DrManhattan | Michael - and I appreciate it. As I said before, I'm not arguing. In fact, Im placing kai on ignore now. | 20:28 |
| dzragon | hehe, sounds exactly like that monty python sketch | 20:28 |
| kai6961 | hahaha | 20:28 |
| kai6961 | He loves me | 20:28 |
| dzragon | buying an argument and arguing on his free time ^_^ | 20:28 |
| LjL | kai6961: ok, i don't know what playonline is, what nlite is, and what you mean by x64 XP (Windows XP?). maybe i'm just clueless about your problem but maybe it would help to state it more clearly. weren't you saying something about WINE? | 20:28 |
| kai6961 | PlayOnLinux ** WINE type application | 20:29 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: if you have a web account, you can install a "web shell" that will let you execute simple commands on the server, but it can't run sophisticated applications that using a windowing toolkit like terminal irc clients | 20:29 |
| DrManhattan | LjL he means 64 bit windows xp | 20:29 |
| DrManhattan | an operating system generally meant only for the systems it was distributed with | 20:29 |
| MichealH | kai6961: WINE stands for WINEIs Not an Emulator | 20:29 |
| androidbruce | if I replace my motherboard,ram and cpu could I still use the same installation I have on my hard drive? or would i have to reinstall? | 20:29 |
| kai6961 | MicahelH, the more you know eh? all I know is it runs windows applications, and it's failing to run a windows application; Nlite | 20:29 |
| MichealH | androidbruce: You will have the same install | 20:29 |
| kai6961 | Something constructive please next time | 20:29 |
| _Sketch_ | Can anyone recommend a WiFi USB Dongle? And also of note: The Cisco Linksys AE1000 does not work out of the box. | 20:29 |
| ilovefairuz | androidbruce: yes you can, this is not windows! | 20:29 |
| * cyphase is is about to install 10.10 after almost 57 days of his computer being on | 20:30 | |
| androidbruce | ilovefairuz, ha! | 20:30 |
| MichealH | kai6961: Some programs may have issues | 20:30 |
| androidbruce | MichealH, ilovefairuz so ubuntu will recognize the new hardware and give me the performance upgrade I'm installing? | 20:30 |
| LjL | kai6961: so anyway did you try the chmod +x thing? | 20:30 |
| kai6961 | it's not encountering an error though it just doesn't load :( | 20:30 |
| MichealH | kai6961: Constructive? | 20:30 |
| Diehard | ffffuuuu | 20:30 |
| kai6961 | ljL didn't know about the click button inside prop to run as executable | 20:30 |
| ilovefairuz | androidbruce: yes, the vast majority of drivers are included by default | 20:30 |
| MichealH | androidbruce: Yup | 20:30 |
| androidbruce | ilovefairuz, MichealH SICK!! | 20:31 |
| Diehard | empathy sucks, kopete crashes all the time, pidgin the same .. what the hell to use? | 20:31 |
| MichealH | androidbruce: ?? | 20:31 |
| ilovefairuz | androidbruce: you may need to activate the driver for the video or wlan card | 20:31 |
| androidbruce | ilovefairuz, MichealH im fairly new linux user. I swore off winfail 8 months ago | 20:31 |
| shcherbak | androidbruce: just put more attention on graphic cart if it is nVidia or Ati | 20:31 |
| androidbruce | MichealH, 'sick' is an american expression meaning, awesome | 20:31 |
| wasutton3_ | i am trying to move my working ubuntu installation to a new hard drive (since the old one has lots of bad sectors), what would the best way to go about doing this? | 20:31 |
| androidbruce | shcherbak, im keeping same video | 20:31 |
| MilitantPotato | jstoone: looks like /dev/ttyUSB0 | 20:31 |
| Diehard | wasutton3_: image it with ghost | 20:32 |
| androidbruce | !dd | 20:32 |
| shcherbak | androidbruce: so no problem | 20:32 |
| Mathrys83 | so i have 3 hd's in my box. at first i just had windows. then i dual installed maverick, now i cant boot into windows. the drive is still there and listed as sda, where my linux drives are sdb1 how can i get my dual boot to work, boot managers i have tried dont show sda as a bootable drive | 20:32 |
| MichealH | Diehard: What you said could be interpreted as flaimebait. Could you please explain it a bit nicer? | 20:32 |
| androidbruce | wasutton3, you can dd from one drive to another | 20:32 |
| rizkhan | ilovefairuz: did u reply to me .. i got disconnected | 20:32 |
| MichealH | Diehard: Im talking about your question BTW | 20:33 |
| Diehard | MichealH: do you mean the first statement or the 2nd? | 20:33 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: if you have a web account, you can install a "web shell" that will let you execute simple commands on the server, but it can't run sophisticated applications that using a windowing toolkit like terminal irc clients | 20:33 |
| Diehard | MichealH: oh .. yea | 20:33 |
| androidbruce | wasutton3, boot into a live environment and dd the old drive to the new, assuming it reads the "bad sectors" | 20:33 |
| wasutton3_ | Diehard: are you referring to a specific command or the commercial product norton ghost? | 20:33 |
| Diehard | MichealH: sry .. but .. can't choose the right client | 20:33 |
| MichealH | Diehard: For what? | 20:33 |
| wasutton3_ | androidbruce: thats what i was avioiding, because dd will copy the bad sectors | 20:33 |
| Diehard | wasutton3_: I use ghost32 (the very old one) from my bartpe bootable cd | 20:33 |
| MichealH | IRC? Chat? | 20:33 |
| hardwarehank | quick question. I run mdadm with my raid5. I reinstalled recently, and as soon as I installed mdadm, my RAID showed up. The only problem is it mounted it here: /media/e7db5f68-ec20-43a6-813a-95631cbb398f/. Is there a way to make that less ugly? | 20:34 |
| Diehard | MichealH: icq, jabber .. I used empathy, but I miss many features like ignore and etc. | 20:34 |
| rizkhan | ilovefairuz: the basic issue is to use irssi | 20:34 |
| r1k0 | I recently got a sony vaio vpcz13m9e/b with its dynamic hybrid graphic system. Does ubuntu have support for such hardware? | 20:34 |
| rizkhan | ilovefairuz: but i guess its not possible :( | 20:34 |
| MichealH | Hmm... | 20:34 |
| Diehard | MichealH: so I decided to move to kopete .. but It always freezes after closing chat window | 20:34 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: try finding a web-based IRC client and install it | 20:34 |
| guntbert | r1k0: best you try with a live CD | 20:34 |
| r1k0 | guntbert: ok | 20:34 |
| Diehard | MichealH: really dunno why .. the same problem with pidgin | 20:34 |
| rizkhan | ilovefairuz: ok, thanks! | 20:35 |
| ilovefairuz | rizkhan: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=ajax+irc+client | 20:35 |

| MichealH | Diehard: I cant seem to know any more clients other than those | 20:35 |
| Diehard | MichealH: for irc I use screen + irssi on one of my servers .. | 20:35 |
| MichealH | Diehard: Me too (But I use a shell) | 20:35 |
| Diehard | MichealH: and thats the problem :/ .. dont want to jump to wine because of this | 20:35 |
| MilitantPotato | jstoone: no, sorr | 20:36 |

| Diehard | MichealH: I'm thinking about icq & jabber in irssi .. I used to have icq like this, but it was really like a stick in my ass .. | 20:36 |

| Mathrys83 | zico when you installed it had you make two different passwords. one is account. the other is internet keyring | 20:37 |
| jstoone | guntbert: I know just had to ask (: | 20:37 |
| toxictux | zico, normaly there is no root pass on ubuntu you need to type the pass of your account | 20:37 |
| leshaste | I have a wireless usb device and I was wondering if I can use it as an access point. lsusb lists it as us 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter. How can I find this out? | 20:37 |
| hardwarehank | zico: boot into single user mode, run passwd, set the root password, profit. | 20:38 |

| naynay | Can some one please tell me how to boot to bash, i've set init to run level 3, and i've removed gdm from rc.c, but it still boots to Gnome. | 20:38 |
| guntbert | !runlevel | naynay | 20:39 |
| ubottu | naynay: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 20:39 |
| magicianlord | how do you boot to terminal? | 20:39 |
| hardwarehank | maintenance mode in grub | 20:39 |
| jstoone | Why do all my make commands ending with errors? here's the logg http://treoo2.pastebin.com/8xDs7jjW | 20:39 |
| zico | hardwarehank:how do we boot in single user mode? | 20:39 |
| guntbert | naynay: but you can switch to a virtual terminla with <ctrl><alt>F1 any time | 20:39 |
| hardwarehank | if it's not there, just append single to the kernel params | 20:39 |
| leshaste | ilovefairuz: hmm... that doesn't seem to tell you http://pastebin.ca/1971214 | 20:39 |
| hardwarehank | zico: append single to the kernel params | 20:40 |
| naynay | !upstart? | 20:40 |

| ilovefairuz | leshaste: pastebin all: sudo lshw | 20:40 |
| Mathrys83 | magicianlord are you asking about a graphical console or a terminal console. graphical can be set when you log in looking at the bottom of the screen before you accept your password | 20:40 |
| zico | hardwarehank: bro..i'm new to ubuntu..u have to guide me really slow!!..plz explain in detail | 20:40 |
| robin0800 | zico: the password should be the same one you used to log in | 20:40 |
| The_Mesolithic | Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. | 20:41 |
| LjL | naynay, i don't really know how that's done with upstart (i'm still running an old version of ubuntu), but i imagine you could always uninstall gdm | 20:41 |
| zico | robin0800: itz nt acceptin' dat.. | 20:41 |
| zico | tried it already | 20:41 |
| hardwarehank | zico: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+single+user+mode | 20:41 |

| robin0800 | zico: caps lock on? | 20:41 |
| magicianlord | im talkiing about booting into bash | 20:41 |
| Mathrys83 | and zico something to keep in mind, is that linux os's are extremely case sensitive | 20:41 |
| zico | robin0800: nopezie!! | 20:42 |
| amastronardi | following this instruction to automate the stop and start when notebook move from AC to battery as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome#Folding%20on%20a%20Notebook | 20:42 |
| leshaste | ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/Qj1CvWCz | 20:42 |
| amastronardi | however, in maverick /etc/acpi/battery.d/fah.sh doesn't exist | 20:42 |
| hardwarehank | quick question. I run mdadm with my raid5. I reinstalled recently, and as soon as I installed mdadm, my RAID showed up. The only problem is it mounted it here: /media/e7db5f68-ec20-43a6-813a-95631cbb398f/. Is there a way to make that less ugly? | 20:42 |
| naynay | magicianlord: 10.10? or oler? | 20:42 |
| The_Mesolithic | Sometimes I use the alt-number keys to use clis. Does anyone know how I could alter their appearance? Colour and terminal size, that kind of thing. | 20:42 |
| robin0800 | zico: log out and then back in | 20:42 |
| zico | robin0800: done that awready.. | 20:43 |
| hardwarehank | The_Mesolithic: I think inittab defines that. Or /etc/profile | 20:43 |
| jstoone | guntbert: well the website told me just to say "make install" at the root of the dir.. | 20:43 |
| amastronardi | shall I change /etc/acpi/events/ac and /etc/acpi/events/battery files? | 20:43 |
| The_Mesolithic | Thanks for your help hardwarehank. | 20:43 |
| magicianlord | naynay: 1010 | 20:43 |

| hellslinger | anyone know how to get ssh working? | 20:44 |
| naynay | magicianlord: Okay, we're both working on the same thing. So if i figure it out i'll tell you. | 20:44 |
| naynay | hellslinger: server or client? | 20:44 |
| guntbert | jstoone: usually there is ./configure, then make then sudo make install | 20:44 |

| vigge_sWe | Will support for high-dpi mouses be added in afuture release? A razer mouse with 3500 dpi is pretty much unusable | 20:52 |
| hardwarehank | robin0800: nice I didn't know that | 20:53 |
| Datz | vigge_sWe: probably more of a kernel thing | 20:53 |
| Swian | funny my wife has a razer mouse on her machine and its fine | 20:53 |
| vigge_sWe | on lowest mouse sensitivity in ubuntu, if you blow on the mouse, the pointer would go all across the screen (nah not really, but almost lol) | 20:53 |
| Bou | hi all | 20:53 |
| vigge_sWe | or actually, it does lolol | 20:53 |
| Bou | I have a sound problem under ubuntu 10.10 on my laptot | 20:54 |
| Bou | : / | 20:54 |
| Swian | laptop? | 20:54 |
| Bou | laptop | 20:54 |
| Bou | yeah | 20:54 |
| Swian | ok :P | 20:54 |
| alexander_m | hallo | 20:54 |
| Bou | i've been reading the forums etc.. about sound troubleshooting | 20:54 |
| Bou | but nothing works | 20:54 |
| v_v | Bou: what's the problem | 20:55 |
| Bou | i don't have sound | 20:55 |
| Datz | vigge_sWe: is it a mouse sensitivity issue? Did the mouse come with a driver separate? | 20:55 |
| Bou | but my card seems properly installed | 20:55 |
| Bou | pulseaudio seems to work.. alsamixer shows proper levels etc | 20:55 |
| hardwarehank | Bou: install pavucontrol and mess with all the settings | 20:55 |
| quiescens | vigge_swe: you can just manually set a lower sensitivity as a workaround | 20:55 |
| Bou | already installed alsamixer | 20:55 |
| v_v | Bou: do you have an earphone ? plug it in and see if it sings | 20:55 |
| earthshade | ubottu: Hey man | 20:55 |
| robin0800 | hardwarehank: yes their is if you edit etc/default/grub you can use /dev/sda or turn off uuid | 20:55 |
| pankaj | somebody please tell me how to install driver for nvidia 9800gt in ubuntu 10.04 plzzzzzzz | 20:56 |
| Bou | no sound on the jack output | 20:56 |
| leshaste | how do I see if hostapd is in backports or proposed for lynx? | 20:56 |
| MichealH | earthshade: Are you just trying to trigger the bot? | 20:56 |
| jstoone | guntbert: I've now installed build-essentials and automake and checkinstall | 20:56 |
| earthshade | MichealH: Ni | 20:56 |
| MichealH | earthshade: Okay | 20:56 |
| hardwarehank | robin0800: are you talking about my mdadm problem? | 20:57 |
| pankaj | somebody please tell me how to install driver for nvidia 9800gt in ubuntu 10.04 plzzzzzzz | 20:57 |
| v_v | Bou: i once got the question , and i just sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and add one line at the end 'options snd-hda-intel model=laptop' | 20:57 |
| robin0800 | hardwarehank: yes | 20:57 |
| dstaubsauger | pankaj: a) talk normally. b) press Alt+F2. enter "jockey-gtk" press enter | 20:57 |
| Skinie | i do no | 20:57 |
| Bou | will try that | 20:57 |
| vigge_sWe | Datz: nah no driver, but it's at 3500 dpi, and it seems like the lowest sensitivity in ubuntu barely do anything, there is a command thought that fixes it for this session though, I think | 20:57 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Enable the restricted repository and install nvidia-utils? | 20:57 |
| hardwarehank | robin0800: well, it's not a boot device - it's not even listed in /etc/fstab | 20:57 |
| vigge_sWe | but I have to run it at every login | 20:57 |
| Swian | pankaj should be able to go into administration additional drivers | 20:57 |
| Swian | I have that same card | 20:57 |
| pankaj | how to go in there "administration additional drivers" | 20:58 |
| Swian | system menu | 20:58 |
| naynay | this upstart bull is enough to make me ditch ubuntu... | 20:58 |
| robin0800 | hardwarehank: is it in media? | 20:58 |
| Swian | administration -> addition drivers | 20:58 |
| Bou | is it normal that i have nothing in alsa-base ? | 20:58 |
| naynay | magicianlord: This worked for me. http://fooninja.net/2010/07/29/text-boot-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04-disabling-gdm/ | 20:58 |
| pankaj | ok | 20:58 |
| vigge_sWe | http://patrickmylund.com/blog/lowering-gaming-mouse-sensitivity-in-ubuntu-9-10/ that one I think | 20:59 |
| hardwarehank | robin0800: I couldn't care less that grub does. But i can't figure out where to change the mount point for my raid because I have no idea what service is mounting it | 20:59 |
| Diamondcite | Swian: He doesn't need to activate more repos first? | 20:59 |
| guntbert | jstoone: did it work now? | 20:59 |
| zico | hardwarehank: i tried the way u said..but in the editor the edit "sinlge" is not accepting..its taking me to the next line.. | 20:59 |
| v_v | Bou: it depends. | 20:59 |
| jstoone | guntbert: still same darn error scheme.. | 20:59 |
| v_v | Bou: my sound card is the intel series | 20:59 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, i didnt find administration additional drivers | 20:59 |
| hardwarehank | zico: you pressed e, typed " single", then hit enter, then hit b and it didn't work? | 20:59 |
| v_v | Bou: maybe you can goole it. | 20:59 |
| hardwarehank | robin0800: yeah its in media under the guid. | 21:00 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Please run Applications -> Software Center | 21:00 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, ok | 21:00 |
| Bou | I will do it, but what should i do after adding the line in alsa-base ? save and reboot ? | 21:00 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, then? | 21:00 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Edit -> Software Sources | 21:00 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Provide your login password | 21:00 |

| Bou | dunno what to do | 21:06 |
| Bou | : ( | 21:06 |
| naynay | magicianlord: It worked on mine no problem, albeit i think its redicilious that i have to mess with grub simply to boot to bash. | 21:06 |
| v_v | Bou: maybe you can tell the model of your laptop and search it in google | 21:06 |
| FloodBot3 | Bou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:06 |

| Bou | i tried but nothing interesting | 21:06 |
| pppeace_ | can't mount iso files, any help? i kinda half-mounted a file but now i can't unmount it without a root-pw (which i don't have). also, when i run the program it tells me to insert the cd :s | 21:06 |
| LDC | Diamondcite: it is NTFS, was used by windows for two years u ntil i realised windows is doing it a lot of damage and moved to linux a few weeks back | 21:06 |
| jstoone | michaelxq: well you choose .APT from the drop down menu and then choose "software-center" and OK then it'll install all by it self (: | 21:06 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, its there | 21:06 |

| pankaj | Diamondcite, waiting for other software manager to quit.. what is this? | 21:07 |
| muSchneider | after upgrade, my chrome is showing this message: Your preferences can not be read. How can i sove it ? | 21:07 |

| LDC | not since.. just past few days it's starting going invisible. a few rare times it did show and then disappear again when trying to copy files or access the huge collectin of music through music player | 21:07 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, right now | 21:08 |
| pppeace_ | can't mount iso files, any help? i kinda half-mounted a file but now i can't unmount it without a root-pw (which i don't have). also, when i run the program it tells me to insert the cd even though it shows as mounted in nautilus(hence why i called it half-mounted) | 21:08 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: More than 1 is running? Is synaptic running? | 21:08 |
| g3d | also, how can I completely disable cpufreq scaling? I tried to set a higher frequency but it's stuck in 800MHz whatever I do... | 21:08 |
| Diamondcite | LDC: That's really concerning.. is the drive still in good shape? | 21:08 |
| alexander_m | @pppeace_ have you tried turning it off an on? | 21:08 |
| g3d | can I maybe get rid of the kernel module for frequency scaling? | 21:08 |
| LDC | robin0800: i don't get the option to check file system | 21:08 |
| pppeace_ | alexander_m turning what off and on? | 21:09 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, sorry buddy, its updating something | 21:09 |
| LDC | Diamondcite: yes it is. i read something online about fsck. could that help? | 21:09 |
| alexander_m | the pc | 21:09 |
| zico | hardwarehank: i enteren the GNU GRUB..but after i entered single..hit enter..but b then was again taking me to the next line..nothin' was being accepted | 21:09 |
| Diamondcite | robin0800: Isn't it a bad idea to check NTFS inside linux? | 21:09 |
| DanaG | Say, cellwriter doesn't do "extended input events" well for me... so I can't use the tablet's eraser. | 21:09 |
| pppeace_ | alexander_m well yeah i have, that unmounts the file, but it still gets me no further | 21:09 |
| Diamondcite | LDC: fsck is for linux file systems NOT windows based ones. | 21:09 |
| LDC | oh ok. | 21:09 |
| Kalidarn | if i reinstall grub2 for some reason say i installed windows, and obviously the UUIDs in grub.conf are wrong how do i fix this? | 21:09 |
| ph33r | anyone around ? | 21:09 |
| pppeace_ | alexander_m since if i mount it again it's just the same problem again | 21:09 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Please wait for it to finish, It'll instal eventually? | 21:09 |
| jstoone | guntbert: great now it's installed I'll try to compile now. | 21:10 |
| Kalidarn | grub-update actually requirs me to boot the OS, i can't do it from a livecd | 21:10 |
| muSchneider | How can i roolback the chrome upgrade ? | 21:10 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, thankyou bro | 21:10 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: While you are at it... look for jockey | 21:10 |
| Kalidarn | can i edit grub.cfg for the time being then run update-grub when i am in my environment? | 21:10 |
| robin0800 | LDC: I do under mount is check file system note you cannot check a mounted drive | 21:10 |
| alkisg | Kalidarn: tune2fs -U <olduuid> | 21:10 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Do you see "Additional Drivers (jockey-gtk) ? | 21:10 |
| alkisg | Kalidarn: this way you don't have to edit grub/fstab | 21:10 |
| Kalidarn | alkisg: ah okay | 21:10 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, what is jockey? | 21:10 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, i am newbie to this | 21:11 |
| LDC | it's not mounted robin0800 i mean. i don't even have the drive n the list to mount it :S | 21:11 |
| Kalidarn | alkisg: i didn't think that it was possible ;) | 21:11 |
| DanaG | How is KDE with tablet PCs? | 21:11 |
| DanaG | Is there a pen input system? | 21:11 |
| jstoone | guntbert: do I need to reboot or relog or something? | 21:11 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: jockey-gtk seems to be Ubuntu's method of finding drivers which needs additional licenses to operate. | 21:11 |
| pppeace_ | alexander_m any ideas? | 21:11 |
| robin0800 | LDC: I thought you said you could see it | 21:11 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, ok | 21:11 |
| acyc | hard disc operations are getting increasingly slower and sometimes the system hangs for several seconds as it tries to write/read something to/from the hard disk. how can I figure out what the problem is? | 21:11 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Or just things which aren't free I was sure it would be already installed by default... | 21:12 |
| guntbert | jstoone: no ... installing the package should suffice - do you still get errors? | 21:12 |
| LDC | robin0800: only in the disk utility my friend. or very rarely in the PLACES list | 21:12 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: Tell me, what is the first thing you see under "System -> Administration" | 21:12 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, its already installed | 21:12 |

| robin0800 | LDC if you can see you can check it | 21:15 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: After nvidia-current finshes installing(it was in-progress) please run that utility? | 21:15 |

| Diamondcite | LDC: If the drive is actually still working, it can see inside even if NTFS is a little damaged. | 21:19 |
| jstoone | guntbert: ah, I see, that's why I did it more than once (: | 21:19 |
| robin0800 | Diamondcite: it works here it reports windows partition is clean and that ntfs | 21:19 |
| acyc | ilovefairuz: installed and started. what should I watch for, specifically? | 21:19 |
| jstoone | guntbert: but do you see any difference in the errors? | 21:19 |
| ilovefairuz | acyc: should tell you what processes are writing to the disk and which ones are the most active | 21:20 |
| Diamondcite | robin0800: I really never knew the ntfs-3g driver could do that.. always thought linux was read-write only. Sorry about that my mistake | 21:20 |
| Kalidarn | alkisg: :) now my gpt partitions are correctly aligned i should get some mad performance out of my ssd 2.... woooh about 3 second boot instead of 10 | 21:20 |
| alkisg | Kalidarn: lucky guy :) | 21:20 |
| Kalidarn | alkisg: they've come down in price ;) | 21:20 |
| hasek79 | is there a way to edit my sound theme? | 21:21 |
| DraZoro | I am trying to build clients offline for ltsp server I encored this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/518902/ | 21:21 |
| nikitis | I'm trying to make tightvncserver load on boot. I have a headless machine and need it to load up before having a user log in. | 21:21 |
| robin0800 | Diamondcite: I guess that is what its using | 21:22 |
| LDC | i'll be sure to try that. thanks Diamondcite | 21:22 |
| zico | any idea what is the root passwrd by default in ubuntu? | 21:22 |
| ilovefairuz | !root | zico | 21:22 |
| ubottu | zico: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:22 |
| Diamondcite | pankaj: http://wiki.ubuntu.com might be of your interest? | 21:22 |
| Diamondcite | LDC: But please read up on the documentation before using testdisk it's a powerful app with consequences if you use it wrong. | 21:22 |
| robin0800 | zico: you have been told there isn't one | 21:22 |
| pankaj | Diamondcite, thanks | 21:22 |
| guntbert | jstoone: looking | 21:23 |
| alkisg | DraZoro: #ltsp would be more appropriate for ltsp questions | 21:23 |
| LDC | ok Diamondcite :) | 21:23 |

| hasek79 | i cant change each sound it just has 3 choices | 21:24 |
| crawler | hasek79: you can try /usr/share/sounds, and replace them with sounds of your own..they might need to be the same name/file type. | 21:24 |
| hasek79 | ok | 21:24 |
| robin0800 | zico: I find that hard to believe if you used that password to log in | 21:24 |
| g3d | how can I prevent a module from being loaded on startup? | 21:24 |
| crawler | hasek79: you will need root access to move files to that directory | 21:25 |

| Diamondcite | zico: Do you have a login password? | 21:25 |
| Diamondcite | zico: Or just direct to desktop/hit enter? | 21:25 |
| zico | robin0800: trusst me on that one..i have actually rebooted my system round 5 times now..an' i have logged in with the same passwrod all the time | 21:25 |
| Diamondcite | zico: so what does "sudo ls" do for you? | 21:26 |
| zico | Diamondcite: where do i type the sudo command? | 21:26 |
| robin0800 | zico: well sudo should also take it then | 21:26 |
| Diamondcite | zico: This is assuming caps lock/numlock isn't interfereing? | 21:26 |
| guntbert | jstoone: sorry, it seems I mislead you, the package I asked you to install only has gnome-config.h not an executable gnome-config -- please ask the developers of your program where to get "gnome-config" (it is reported "not found" in line 112) | 21:26 |

| nicole | hey folks | 21:41 |
| nicole | was trying out 10.10 | 21:41 |
| nicole | but when I added a new user the theming has changed | 21:42 |
| madjoe | hi! I receive an error during before an update of Firefox for Karmic | 21:42 |
| madjoe | it says: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xulrunner-1.9.2/xulrunner-1.9.2_1.9.2.12~hg20101015r34683+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~karmic_amd64.deb | 21:42 |
| madjoe | 404 Not Found | 21:42 |
| nicole | looks a bit antiquated and will not change theme at all | 21:42 |
| nicole | does it require a reboot after adding a new user | 21:42 |
| hardwarehank | nicole: shouldnt... | 21:43 |
| ubuntu | how come nobody is willing/able to help me fix that automount problem | 21:43 |
| nicole | well then I'm not sure what the deal is let me try and create another user to see if the same thing happens | 21:43 |
| robin0800 | nicole: did you log out and then back in as the new user? | 21:43 |
| maedox | nicole: do you use 64-bit version and an nvidia gfx card? | 21:44 |
| nicole | yes I did | 21:44 |
| nicole | yes I do | 21:44 |
| nicole | well not a gfx but a gt330 | 21:44 |
| maedox | let me find the fix for you, one moment. | 21:44 |
| nicole | I am running 64 bit with nvidia | 21:44 |
| nicole | ok maedox thank you very much | 21:45 |

| rammyIRC | anyone | 21:46 |
| rammyIRC | ? | 21:46 |
| maedox | nicole: the login screen will look bad, but after login it's fine :) | 21:46 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: what raid level, how many devices | 21:46 |
| madjoe | hi! I receive an error during before an update of Firefox for Karmic: Failed to fetch a file... | 21:47 |
| whatisthe | raid 6 with 13 1tb drives | 21:47 |
| amarcolino | rammyIRC, could you repeat your question please | 21:47 |
| ubuntu | I got a problem with ubuntu 10.04 sd-automount | 21:47 |
| rammyIRC | i want to mount my windows partion | 21:47 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: hmm your math is correct | 21:47 |
| nicole | why would the log in screen look bad maedox | 21:47 |
| rammyIRC | im trying but no much help | 21:47 |
| maedox | madjoe: it's a third party repository, we can't really help you, but try sudo apt-get update and then try again to update the file. | 21:47 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: fdisk sees 11tb, but when i format it it only seems to create a 10tb volume | 21:48 |
| madjoe | maedox: thanks m8 | 21:48 |
| amarcolino | rammyIRC, ubuntu picks up ntfs partition you just have to click/mount the drive | 21:48 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: ohhh what filesystem? | 21:48 |
| maedox | nicole: because the work-around disables theming on the login screen. | 21:48 |
| viewer | i have some videos i pulled off my camcorder at DV AVI quality, what can I use to get them into a format i can put on youtube? | 21:48 |
| nicole | so maedox how do you reenable theming after applying fix | 21:48 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: i'm trying to set it up with lvm | 21:48 |
| rammyIRC | i see my hard drive 250 gb | 21:48 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: you still have to have a filesystem | 21:48 |
| rammyIRC | but when i click and mount it | 21:49 |
| nicole | is this an issue with 32 bit system as well? | 21:49 |
| rammyIRC | i dont know what is the mount point | 21:49 |
| rammyIRC | ? | 21:49 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: i'm formatting it as a linux lvm partition | 21:49 |
| Dekker3D | Hey all | 21:49 |
| rammyIRC | i dont know where to go and browse | 21:49 |
| ubuntu | WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME!? | 21:49 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: and then probably ext4 once lvm is set up | 21:49 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: so you have it partitioned as lvm and what tool is reporting 10tb? | 21:50 |
| rammyIRC | any ideas | 21:50 |
| Dekker3D | Ahh, so mibbit was blocked. Right. I had some trouble getting fdisk and gparted to recognize my hdd and ssd drive | 21:50 |
| rammyIRC | ?? | 21:50 |
| amarcolino | rammyIRC, the mount point would be /media however if you're doing it through nautilus you don't need to go their as it would have it on the left side as a hd | 21:50 |
| maedox | nicole: if you want to revert, just do the opposite of the fix: sudo mv /usr/share/gdm/nostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/ | 21:50 |
| ubuntu | I want help with that damn automount | 21:50 |
| rammyIRC | okay i will check | 21:50 |
| Spearman | ciao! | 21:50 |
| Spearman | :) | 21:50 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: keep in mind ext4 only supports 16 TiB currently so if you grow in the future you'll have to remember that | 21:51 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: gparted only sees 10tb and if i run pvcreate it creates a 10tb pv size | 21:51 |
| ubuntu | thanks | 21:51 |
| amarcolino | rammyIRC, is the partition actually mounted you can sudo fidsk -l to check which drive partition is your windows | 21:51 |
| Dekker3D | Though, not even my bios will recognize them, it seems. Nvm what I said. | 21:51 |
| guntbert | !patience | ubuntu | 21:51 |
| ubottu | ubuntu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 21:51 |
| madjoe | maedox: funny thing... I had to type TWICE: sudo apt-get update and then my update really worked... weird | 21:51 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: use fdisk to make the partition, then use mkfs.ext4 on it instead of lvm. why do you want lvm? | 21:51 |
| maedox | madjoe: odd indeed. maybe some cache somewhere needed convincing :D | 21:51 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: ok thanks for the info, i don't plan on expanding much in the future but if i need to i can change the filesystem | 21:51 |
| madjoe | :) | 21:52 |
| alzie | viewer transmageddon in the software centre looks like it will fill your need | 21:52 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: also, watch the amount of space it reserves for the super-user - it's usually 5% | 21:52 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: fdisk won't work because it doesn't support gpt partition tables, i want to use lvm so i can resize virtual partitions easily | 21:52 |
| Steven_Krebs | cheers there | 21:52 |
| rammyIRC | amarcolino: i did use tht to se the partions | 21:52 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: hmm I see - does ext4 currently support resizing well? | 21:53 |
| rammyIRC | but i dont know how to mount the partitions into the linux | 21:53 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: why does it reserve space for a non-os array? i believe it does | 21:54 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: it's just the default settings for mkfs on ext filesystems - I have no idea why it does | 21:54 |

| === Guest41606 is now known as lucky10 | ||
| amarcolino | rammyIRC, if the partition aint mounted you can always do it manually through - sudo mkdir /media/windows | sudo mount /dev/sd* (drive which belongs to your windows) most of the times you wont need to use the -t option for the file format unless needed | 21:54 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/gdisk.8.html | 21:54 |
| hardwarehank | gdisk - GUID partition table (GPT) manipulator for Linux and Unix | 21:54 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: maybe that will work | 21:55 |
| ssd7 | Hi all. I'm having some problems with sound. Suddenly, my sound stops working after login. | 21:55 |
| nicole | maedox, is it the same for the 32 bit install | 21:55 |
| nicole | ? | 21:55 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: i already installed gdisk, ill see if i can format the array again with it | 21:55 |
| guntbert | ubuntu: open a terminal, type tail -f /var/log/syslog and plug your usb device - you should see what is happening | 21:56 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: k. I have a feeling it's an LVM issue. I've formatted similar sized partitions and had no problems, but I never bother with lvm. | 21:56 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: i don't think it's an lvm issue since gparted only sees 10tb of space as well | 21:58 |

| WXZ | sudo apt-get package ppa://something.something lucid main | 21:58 |
| viewer | alzie, thanks transmageddon looks sweet | 21:59 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: oh i see | 21:59 |
| zygomatik | hi all | 21:59 |
| maedox | WXZ: you have to add the ppa as a source (sudo add-apt-repository ppa-link), then install the package as usual. | 21:59 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: can you get a raw number of megabytes or gigabytes it's seeing? | 21:59 |
| WXZ | ok, just making sure that's the only way | 21:59 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: also, later, make sure you look into what block size to use when formatting | 22:00 |
| gnubu | when my netbook screen goes to sleep I have to use my password to get back in. How do I stop that and just go back by touching the mouse? | 22:00 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: I can't go back now and I regret it | 22:00 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: gparted sees 10.00TiB of raw data, fdisk sees 11000.0 GB | 22:00 |

| zygomatik | any suggestions ? | 22:01 |
| === Putr is now known as Putr|Away | ||
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: I think i have mine set to 128k and 256 would be better for my files apparently. | 22:02 |
| robin0800 | gnubu: its in screensavers god knows why thou | 22:02 |
| zygomatik | any help would be *greatly* appreciated | 22:02 |
| hardwarehank | whatisthe: depends on avg filesize - lots of small files need lower block size, bigger is better for bigger files | 22:02 |
| furi | okay, i fixed that configure problem | 22:03 |
| furi | HOWEVER | 22:03 |
| furi | it's now talking about openrm, which i can't find in synaptic | 22:04 |
| amarcolino | zygomatik, not sure this will help try to fsck the root partition if you can access recovery mode and apt-get -f upgrade might help | 22:04 |
| zygomatik | i can't access recovery mode | 22:04 |
| zygomatik | I would need some help with grub shell | 22:05 |
| zygomatik | why cant i find the setup command ? | 22:05 |

| nicole | it worked perfectly | 22:05 |
| zygomatik | and also the kernel command ? | 22:05 |
| zygomatik | grub is no more like it used to be | 22:05 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: k this is primarily for media so a larger block size would be ideal, i'll try and reformat the raw volume with the hardware controllers menu and see if that helps | 22:05 |
| maedox | nicole: I'm here. Great. :D | 22:05 |

| zygomatik | robin0800: what is shift ? | 22:06 |
| gnubu | zygomatik: have you tried useing a boot recovery cd/usb? | 22:06 |
| nicole | and ubuntu software center just said they are not for this architecture | 22:06 |
| robin0800 | zygomatik: the keyboard key | 22:07 |

| robin0800 | zygomatik: that's how you see the recovery menu | 22:08 |
| amarcolino | zygomatik, when the system is booting hold shift on the keyboard and the grub prompt will appear/ be displayed | 22:08 |
| guntbert | zygomatik: he probably wanted to tell you that you need to press the(left) <shift> key to get the grub menu at boot | 22:08 |
| gnubu | how do I change desktop settings on 10.10 netbook edition? | 22:09 |
| zygomatik | robin0800: so you're not taking about the recovery-mode entry in the boot section from grub ? | 22:09 |
| Ward| | those flash pages that need access to the microphone and webcam only show "linux microphone" and that is not working | 22:09 |
| Ward| | any ideas? | 22:09 |
| robin0800 | zygomatik: yes I am | 22:09 |
| zygomatik | amarcolino, robin0800 thanks for the hint | 22:10 |
| zygomatik | i actually did that | 22:10 |
| zygomatik | and now i'm in the grub shell | 22:10 |
| revmns | just a quick question. I have googled and read forum - could not find an answer. Themes will not load on login - default gnome theme only. this only happens on my account - wife account does not do this. | 22:10 |
| zygomatik | ... | 22:10 |
| whatisthe | hardwarehank: thanks for the help :) | 22:10 |
| RenatoSilva | how to make a command line script run when logging in but showing the terminal window? | 22:10 |
| zygomatik | recovery mode does not work it kernel panics the same | 22:10 |
| maedox | nicole: not sure what frostwire is for, but you really don't need adobe reader on ubuntu. In general installing ia32-libs might help you to run 32-bit apps on 64-bit edition. Can't help you with Boxee, but you can try to search for a boxee ppa to install from. | 22:11 |
| robin0800 | zygomatik: use an alternate disk then | 22:11 |
| === Molly is now known as Guest68219 | ||
| nicole | ok so is there a way of installing 32 bit apps on 64 bit system like on win | 22:11 |
| Guest68219 | Quick question: I've made a custom application launcher for Minecraft on the GNOME panel, however, for the command, I can't remember the thing you're supposed to type in before the path (some sort of java command). Does anyone know what it is? | 22:11 |
| Rashid | Question: Does anyone know of any step-by-step documentation for setting up a video streaming server on Ubuntu? (using Icecast2 and Ices2, only) | 22:11 |
| Guest68219 | Nevermind | 22:12 |
| zygomatik | robin0800: ok point taken, but where are the standard grub commands setup and kernel gone ? | 22:12 |
| Guest68219 | lol got it figured out lol | 22:12 |

| === eric is now known as Guest23820 | ||
| robin0800 | zygomatik: well its hosed at present so that's probably part of why its not working | 22:14 |
| migsx | anyone know how to do this? 1. Edit /etc/default/grub to include GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop" | 22:14 |
| ubuntu | I know what it is | 22:14 |
| nicole | maedox ? is there a way of installing 32 bit apps on 64 bit architecture | 22:15 |
| ubuntu | seems like a worn out usb socket | 22:15 |
| zygomatik | robin0800: well the grub shell seems to be working | 22:15 |
| zygomatik | robin0800: i even can browse the fs of my hard disk from it | 22:15 |
| Noob42 | hi | 22:15 |
| Dekker3D | Hey, what is the best partition type for Ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| robin0800 | zygomatik: have you net access? | 22:16 |
| Noob42 | 4 | 22:16 |
| nicole | Dekker3D, do you mean filesystem | 22:16 |
| Dekker3D | Yeah | 22:16 |
| zygomatik | robin0800: yes I have | 22:16 |
| nicole | ext4 imo | 22:16 |
| DannyG | hey guys | 22:17 |
| robin0800 | zygomatik: do sudo aptitude update | 22:17 |
| X-Sleepy-X | migsx: open the terminal and enter: sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.backup | 22:17 |
| amarcolino | Dekker3D, depends on you, it varies for everyone and their systems | 22:17 |
| DannyG | how easy is it to install Alsa drivers? | 22:17 |
| revmns | ubuntu 10.10 clean install. Will not load any theme on boot but when I open appearance or keyboard it sets the right theme. only does this on root account. any ideas. | 22:17 |
| X-Sleepy-X | migsx: Then enter: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub | 22:17 |
| CIAonLSD | anyone here familiar with ubuntu studio? | 22:18 |
| Dekker3D | Alright. Ext4 it is. Thanks, nicole | 22:18 |
| nicole | you're welcome | 22:18 |
| maedox | nicole: yes, but you might have to compile them yourself. ia32-libs can work. But I'm not really that experienced with that, so you should look up some guide or see if someone else in here knows. | 22:18 |
| X-Sleepy-X | migsx: Then add i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line. | 22:18 |
| seidos | DannyG, updated alsa drivers are fairly easy to install. it's reverting back that i'm not sure how to do. is something not working in your sound system? | 22:18 |
| nicole | interesting | 22:18 |
| zygomatik | i got disconnected | 22:19 |
| nicole | well i'm not that competent in Linux as of yet , just a simple win admin | 22:19 |
| X-Sleepy-X | misnix: Save and exit, then enter in the terminal: sudo update-grub | 22:19 |
| Jordan_U | nicole: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 | 22:19 |

| MatBoy | ikonia: yes I know, but why better than the rest | 22:38 |
| ikonia | amarcolino scroll up he's not got port forwarding on his router, he set it up using windows, not windows firewall | 22:38 |
| Somelauw | When I run aptitude and select minesweeper it says: Ouch! Got SIGABRT, dying.. | 22:39 |
| Condorito | ShaiTan is the name of my dog (Lol)... | 22:39 |
| amarcolino | ikonia, sorry, didn't read that just saw the last message | 22:39 |
| ikonia | amarcolino: it's not a problem, just didn't want him wasting his time if he's not got the basics setup | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | Bobshayd: Ethernet drivers rarely fail with linux, so it's probably a configuration problem. Beyond that there's not enough information to really give anything more in the way of advice. | 22:40 |
| amarcolino | ikonia, no problem | 22:40 |
| Condorito | Okay, ufw. was able to bring the firewall down through it earlier. Can it also be used to make exceptions (without disabling the firewall). Any links on how to? Thnx... | 22:40 |

| amarcolino | is there a way in xchat to isolate a particular users comment without having to keep scrolling to find every instance | 22:42 |
| msr | Somelauw, your machine is fucked. SIGABRT is used when an assert fails in the underying libraries, if wikipedia is to be belived | 22:42 |

| Jordan_U | Bobshayd: Whatever it is will probably be fairly apparent once you have access to the machine. Issues with ethernet connections just don't tend to be very hard to diagnose, and it really isn't worth trying to "prepare" for. Just go home, and on the off chance it isn't obvious come back here. | 22:47 |

| k5673 | Hello. I'm having a issue with vmbuilder under lucid. When trying to build a lucid vm, no matter if using archive.ubuntu.com or iso option, vmbuilder always fails to install grub. It says ['chroot', '/tmp/tmpa5EOR4', 'apt-get', '--force-yes', '-y', 'install', 'grub'] Package grub not found. Is not the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/610652 bug. | 22:53 |
| preston | thevishy, usually have to download proprietary drivers to make my wireless card work and it says that I have no proprietary driver in use. | 22:53 |

| RE90 | also, my grub files are blank | 22:54 |
| Jordan_U | k5673: I've never used vmbuilder before but it should be installing "grub-pc" rather than "grub". | 22:54 |
| thevishy | preston, oh . so its not coming under the default drivers ? | 22:54 |
| mezzoforte | svchost: put it from vbox to your hard drive | 22:55 |
| thevishy | you have no propreitary drivers in use . you have to download it then right ? | 22:55 |
| k5673 | Jordan_U: so i can try to change that line in the /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder/plugins/ubuntu/dapper.py | 22:55 |
| preston | thevishy, yes thats why it seems like it wont recognize my wifi card, am I right? | 22:55 |
| thevishy | thevishy, yeah which is ur wireless card ? new ? | 22:56 |

| aborticide | ikonia: i just want to load kernels in it, i dont want to run ubuntu in it | 23:39 |

| Genscher | hey - is there any way to get the ubuntu 10.04 Netbook remix UI for Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix? I just installed 10.10 and cannot show the Ui to anyone wihout facing comments like "Linux looks like in the 90'th" again.... | 23:39 |
| aborticide | ikonia: there's gotta be a way | 23:40 |
| aborticide | ikonia: you need rootfs and initramfs, and not much else | 23:40 |
| ikonia | aborticide: no there hasn't | 23:40 |
| aborticide | ikonia: you don't need an OS | 23:40 |
| ikonia | aborticide: there is no OS to hold the condiguration files to tell it how to boot | 23:40 |
| aborticide | you need the barebones precursor | 23:40 |
| ikonia | aborticide: at a super highlevel you don't need an OS, but that won't really prove anything or test anthing as it won't complete the boot cycle | 23:41 |

| Tommo | hopeless8009 - can you not download the ISO from Ubuntu website and make a boot USB using 'Startup Disc Creator' ? | 23:42 |
| aborticide | ikonia: yes it will | 23:42 |
| aborticide | ikonia: you're incorrect | 23:42 |
| ikonia | aborticide: good luck then, because I'm not | 23:42 |
| aborticide | ikonia: most of the OS stuff is on the root partition | 23:42 |
| Ghosty | ke1, why are you telling me this | 23:42 |
| aborticide | ikonia: installing an OS gives me 99% of what i don't need it | 23:42 |
| hopeless8009 | Tommo: I have the ISO but i dont know how to make a boot USB out of it | 23:43 |
| aborticide | ikonia: i just need to see if the kernel will not say "cannot mount root FS or unknown block (8,49), tried ext2/3 ntfs, etc ." | 23:43 |
| ikonia | aborticide: yes, it is, then good luck as this is no longer an ubuntu issue | 23:43 |
| ke1 | Ghosty...sorry, guess you were talking to someone else | 23:43 |
| aborticide | Oh you mean installing vbox in ubuntu is not an ubuntu issue? | 23:43 |
| Ghosty | LOL | 23:43 |
| ikonia | aborticide: you've been told how to instal vbox under ubuntu | 23:43 |
| aborticide | i guess this functionality doesn't come 'out-of-the-box' like other great tools such as 'ls' and 'mkdir' | 23:43 |
| ikonia | aborticide: you already have it installed | 23:43 |
| swordz | Hi. I upgraded to 10.10 the weekend it came out, and since then there's quite a few things that haven't worked 100%. | 23:44 |
| aborticide | ikonia: its giving errors | 23:44 |
| ikonia | aborticide: no it's not, the front end is | 23:44 |
| ikonia | aborticide: you don't have to use the front end, | 23:44 |
| Tommo | hopeless8009: Do you have a version of Ubuntu on your system already? If so go System > Administration > Startup Disc Creator | 23:44 |
| swordz | Anything from my wireless dongle doesn't work on the newest kernel, to it sometimes thinks my mouse has double clicked | 23:44 |
| sb | shcherbak: Hrm, it seems I would need to run mpd with cigwin under windows | 23:44 |
| hopeless8009 | Tommo ok i did that | 23:45 |
| danelu | hey, i get this when i use aireplay-ng : - mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 1 - can i change the channel there ? please help | 23:45 |

| retrospectacus | ke1: suggestion: use a pastebin and show us the error | 23:47 |
| Tommo | hopeless8009: OK, you would need to reboot the computer with the USB in. When you get to CMOS screen (first screen) press F12, ESC, etc to change boot order to USB. | 23:47 |

| Dekker3D | Hey all. I'm installing Ubuntu. Now it's at "ready when you are" with no buttons to press to show that I am, indeed, ready. | 23:49 |
| Tommo | hopeless8009: good luck. | 23:50 |
| Dekker3D | The forward button is grayed out. What do I do now? | 23:50 |
| acyc | hi. hard disc operations are getting increasingly slower and sometimes the system hangs for several seconds as it tries to write/read something to/from the hard disk. how can I figure out what the problem is? | 23:50 |
| thevishy | acyc, type free check if the RAM is good | 23:51 |
| danelu | mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 1 - anybody knows how to fix this ? | 23:51 |
| deac0n | anyway to make sure I can get my laptop monitor to turn off after a certian time frame of no use, I have set it to blank screen in power management but nothing happens | 23:51 |
| thevishy | acyc, most cases high processing or ram are the problem | 23:51 |
| === istok_ is now known as chmod | ||
| Dekker3D | Can anyone help me with my problem? | 23:52 |
| acyc | thevishy: I have 8 GB of RAM, system monitor says only 20% are used. however, "free" shows this: http://pastebin.ca/1971327 | 23:53 |

| alphos | hi, is there any way the prepacked liveUSBcreator can be used to create a space bigger than 4 Gio on a live USB (16 Gio) ? or would a "full install" be the only way to have that ? | 23:53 |
| acyc | thevishy: why does it show that only few mb are left, while system monitor indicates that I have 80% left. | 23:53 |
| lahwran | I just made a location launcher on my desktop, pointing to the root of my drive. now I want to change it's icon to the "hard drive" icon, and to do this I need to know where that icon is. anyone know? | 23:54 |
| Dekker3D | Aw man. It hates the fact that I have capitals in my username, and didn't give any hint like other distros and previous versions did... That sucks. Anyway, fixed now. | 23:54 |
| thevishy | the second line is correct , it says you have 6 GB free . So it doesnt seem to be RAM | 23:54 |
| lahwran | Dekker3D: report it | 23:54 |
| thevishy | how much is your processor ? | 23:54 |
| lahwran | thevishy: $30 | 23:54 |
| acyc | thevishy: quad core with each core having 3 GHz | 23:55 |
| thevishy | is it overloaded | 23:55 |
| acyc | thevishy: and it's mostly simple file copying where it hangs. and I can't see if it's overloaded since almost every window turns grey. | 23:55 |
| Dekker3D | I'm thinking about reporting it, lahwran. Where should I do that? | 23:55 |
| acyc | thevishy: could it be that the hard drive is failing? | 23:55 |
| thevishy | did you have the problem with other OS you installed ? | 23:56 |
| acyc | I haven't installed another OS. | 23:56 |

| sms_ | Ok, in Transmission, "open folder" opens up the movie player aswell. Where could I find the configuration files for this? It's driving me nuts : | | 23:56 |
| andai | i'm shrinking a fat32 partition in GPARTED. It is taking forever. Is it actually moving the file data around? | 23:56 |
| acyc | sms_: #transmission might be of more help | 23:56 |
| lahwran | andai: DO NOT STOP IT!!! | 23:56 |
| thevishy | that is possible , you can do a fsck | 23:56 |
| Dekker3D | Ah. And what package should I refer to? Itś in the installer | 23:56 |
| lahwran | Dekker3D: ubiquity | 23:56 |
| andai | lahwran: Yeah, i know better than that. But wtf is it doing to my files? :P | 23:56 |
| Dekker3D | Alright | 23:56 |
| basix- | do i have to install 64bit ubuntu if my laptop has an AMD64 x2 processor? | 23:57 |
| lahwran | andai: yes, it's basically defragging it so it all fits in the size it's going to resize it to | 23:57 |
| andai | ahh thought so. thanks :P | 23:57 |
| Dekker3D | Will do when it's rebooted | 23:57 |
| sms_ | acyc, nah, because the places menu opens up the movie player instead of the folder too | 23:57 |
| thevishy | usually i have faced this problem coz of RAM or Processor overload . otherwise the machine has been fine | 23:57 |
| andai | lahwran: Although... it's a flashdisk... so it shouldn't be fragmented to begin with | 23:57 |
| cast | basix-: no, but i would. | 23:57 |
| andai | lol | 23:57 |
| lahwran | andai: heh, that's not how it works., | 23:57 |
| acyc | thevishy: I see. | 23:57 |
| nemo229 | hi | 23:57 |
| alzie | basix- no you do not, but there are not many issues with 64 so I'd go with it | 23:57 |
| acyc | thevishy: fsck warns me that I cannot run it because it'd cause serious damage!? | 23:57 |
| basix- | cast, when i try to boot the installer usb it gives me an error vesamenu.32: not a COM32R image | 23:57 |
| nemo229 | i'm new to ubuntu and my wireless is so slow on my netbook :l help please | 23:57 |
| thevishy | !fsck | 23:58 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:58 |
| Dekker3D | Also, can I make "dead keys" smarter? I want it to give " on "+space, ë on "+e and "k on "+k | 23:58 |
| lahwran | andai: join #ubuntu-offtopic - I wanna tell you about fragmentation :) | 23:58 |
| cast | basix-: dunno what that means, can you do a text mode install? | 23:58 |
| cast | basix-: oh...i'm not in#debian, nvm :) | 23:58 |
| Dekker3D | The dead keys are one of my pet peeves about Linux. They never work the way I want them to. | 23:58 |
| lahwran | cast: O.o | 23:58 |
| thevishy | acyc, ok then dont do it . just keep a terminal open and tail -f /var/log/messages - this log is the system log and you can get lots of information there. | 23:59 |
| lahwran | Dekker3D: dead keys? | 23:59 |
| nemo229 | help i have slow wireless speed on ubuntu netbook edition 10.10 please | 23:59 |

| acyc | thevishy: thanks | 23:59 |
| thevishy | you can try posting in forums they mighjt know what the error means | 23:59 |

| jon__ | Sorry bout the name | 23:59 |
| Steven_Krebs | as far as I can see dead keys are either dead or always active. the behaviour for ^ like the first press will use it as a dead key while the second double prints it seems not implemented | 23:59 |
| jon__ | will get a unique one. | 23:59 |
