| kapu | chroot? interesting | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| GentooGeoff | You'd have to chroot from a livecd | 00:00 |
| kapu | chroot from openbsd experience | 00:00 |
| Felip0n | i need help to | 00:01 |
| kapu | do mean chroot jail? | 00:01 |
| kapu | pr a different chroot? | 00:01 |
| GentooGeoff | chroot jail | 00:01 |
| GentooGeoff | But I'm not going to get into how to do it as I suggest re-installing | 00:01 |
| kapu | yeah reinstall prob better | 00:01 |

| zdea | anyone here an xrdp fan? | 00:02 |
| kapu | as in remote desktop to m$ from nix? | 00:03 |
| zdea | no as in remote desktop to nix from m$ or nix | 00:03 |
| kapu | o | 00:03 |
| zdea | xrdp is a package that allows you to make linux an rdp terminal server | 00:03 |
| Felip0n | how i know the mod used by a device? | 00:04 |
| kapu | i use ssh | 00:04 |
| GentooGeoff | Felip0n: What? | 00:04 |
| zdea | i do as well | 00:04 |
| kapu | o | 00:04 |
| aguitel | i have 64 bits system but installed 32 bits os ,anyway to install 64 bits with no formating my system ? | 00:05 |
| Felip0n | i need know what is the mod used by kernel to use a modem | 00:05 |
| zdea | ssh is great including x11 tunneling but I believe the rdp protocol is faster and gives you the full desktop, it also lets you run gui applications and leave them running when you disconnect, unlike ssh/tunneling | 00:05 |
| GentooGeoff | Felip0n: Does it work on a livecd? | 00:05 |
| cappicard | hey folks. I do java gui development but I cannot debug Java swing apps due to "AllowDeactivateGrabs" being removed from jaunty! | 00:06 |
| cappicard | for xorg | 00:06 |
| Felip0n | Yes, Work in live cd and installed, but the problem is: i have to unplugg the usb modem and plug again | 00:06 |
| GentooGeoff | Felip0n: Boot into a livecd and while it is working, do "sudo lspci -k" | 00:07 |
| GentooGeoff | Then find which kernel driver it is using, boot back into your installation and load it in your kernel | 00:07 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, i have set up an php file which does phpinfo(); | 00:07 |
| twinkie_addict | desided to go with wubi and get netbook edition | 00:07 |
| pw-toxic | when i search for mysql it says that mysql is installed ;( | 00:07 |
| GentooGeoff | pw-toxic: Because it is installed. | 00:08 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, so phpmyadmin hates me? | 00:08 |
| GentooGeoff | The phpinfo page will show you how apache was installed, not what is currently loaded. | 00:08 |
| Felip0n | ok, im gonna try. Recent i do but don't list the usb conection | 00:08 |
| GentooGeoff | pw-toxic: Pastebin your php.ini page | 00:09 |
| mkquist | anyone used lirc to control xbmc or the like? | 00:09 |
| GentooGeoff | If you can't find the php.ini do, "php -i |grep php.ini" | 00:10 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, http://pastebin.com/zzviwxfv | 00:11 |
| Felip0n | GentooGeoff: i'm using rigth know Ubuntu installed and the modem works, but the coomand don't list a usb modem | 00:11 |

| konraddo | hi, can somebody help with installing broadcom 4131 on xubuntu? | 00:16 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, yeah but how do i know where i can find mysql.so and why doesnt it get instaled when i do apt-get install php5-mysql? ;( | 00:16 |
| konraddo | i really need help :( | 00:16 |
| zdea | shcherbak: yes... true...? my question was about xrdp though | 00:16 |
| white_magic | is it possible to do a multiple pattern replacement with sed? Example: sed -e 's/\(1\) \(SOMETHING\) \(2\)/(ONE) (SOMETHING-ELSE) (TWO)/g' ? As in, if it finds '1' in a line, it will replace with 'ONE', if it finds other matches, it will replace those as well, but it won't be such that it looks specifically to replace '1 SOMETHING 2' with 'ONE SOMETHING-ELSE TWO' | 00:16 |
| GentooGeoff | pw-toxic: sudo updatedb; sudo locate mysql.so | 00:16 |
| shcherbak | zdea, sorry just jumped in. | 00:17 |
| zdea | lol, no problem, I don't supposed you have used xrdp before? | 00:17 |
| GentooGeoff | white_magic: Pipe it into an array and run it through a loop with various if statements I suppose | 00:18 |
| GentooGeoff | That question would be better asked at either #bash or #sed though | 00:18 |
| ariel_ | hello folks, I have an issue with 10.10. I have upgraded my 10.04 and it was working with flash sites and players. After the upgrade I only get a black screen when it goes to play any flash player items. I have done google search but can't seem to find a fix. | 00:18 |
| konraddo | damn, seems like nobody knows how to install drivers to this stupid card | 00:18 |
| white_magic | ok | 00:18 |
| Felip0n | GentooGeoff: well, i have to unplug the modem once start ubuntu and plug again to make it work | 00:18 |
| pluhngz | ok, i just installed 10.10, but no sound........no wires changed etc? installed on a seperate partition besides windows 7........sound still works in 7.......but if i plug in my headsets.....the sound works fine, so why isnt sound working in my 5.1 speakers (Audigy 2 sound card), you would think that this would work out of the box | 00:19 |
| GentooGeoff | Felip0n: Sounds like you have a bad module starting up at boot time, then when you unplug it/plug it in udev loads the correct module | 00:19 |
| aeon-ltd | konraddo: ok, i assume its not supported by the kernel from stock, have you tried looking for a module for the card? if none exists try to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper | 00:20 |
| GentooGeoff | So when you start up do an lsmod to see what's loaded, then blacklist it and load the correct one | 00:20 |
| konraddo | yes, my friend instructed me how to compile the module | 00:20 |
| konraddo | and i did it, but it didn't work | 00:20 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, updatedb still running ;( is this normal? | 00:20 |
| GentooGeoff | Yeah, it takes a while if it hasn't run in a while | 00:21 |
| aeon-ltd | konraddo: (stupid question) but did you load it? | 00:21 |
| konraddo | yes | 00:21 |
| aeon-ltd | konraddo: using modprobe? | 00:21 |
| konraddo | yes | 00:21 |
| GentooGeoff | konraddo: Does dmesg show it? | 00:21 |
| GentooGeoff | When you plug it in | 00:21 |
| konraddo | it's built inside my netbook | 00:21 |
| iskin | What would be a good way to resize a window (chromium) from the command line? | 00:21 |
| aeon-ltd | konraddo: was this the linux driver you compiled or was it the windows in ndiswrapper one? | 00:21 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, i have never run it... does it create indexes of all my hard drives? I have 5-6 TB on this machine full of very many small files | 00:21 |
| konraddo | it was linux driver | 00:21 |
| GentooGeoff | Yes it does pw-toxic, it doesn't take that long though | 00:22 |
| GentooGeoff | konraddo: Well, does dmesg show it? | 00:22 |
| VCoolio | iskin: wmctrl may suit you | 00:22 |
| iskin | VCollio: thanks | 00:22 |
| pluhngz | Why isn't sound working out of the box on my 5.1 speakers?(Audigy 2 card), but if i plug in my usb headsets, sound works fine through them. I rebooted and use my Windows 7, and sound works fine through 5.1 speakers. You would think that out of the box, a simple 5.1 setup, and audigy 2 would work with 10.10, with no extra "tweaking" | 00:22 |
| konraddo | GentooGeoff: i'll check | 00:22 |
| aeon-ltd | konraddo: after trying GentooGeoff's idea, try the ndiswrapper method | 00:22 |
| konraddo | ok | 00:22 |
| aeon-ltd | pluhngz: check alsamixer | 00:23 |
| Felip0n | tnx, im gonna try blacklist the mod. | 00:23 |
| GentooGeoff | no problem | 00:23 |
| konraddo | i'll check the DVD included to my netbook, because i googled for windows drivers for this card and didn't found even windows drivers for this stupid card :P | 00:23 |
| GentooGeoff | konraddo: What is it? | 00:24 |
| konraddo | broadcom 4131 :F | 00:24 |

| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, I have created a file which executes mysql_connect() with valid data of my mysql server and it seems to work.. so it looks like this problem is phpmyadmin related ;( | 00:26 |

| ljsoftnet | Nayr yeah me too | 00:27 |
| GentooGeoff | pw-toxic: And you loaded the correct mysql.so file, uncommented it, and restarted apache? | 00:27 |
| ljsoftnet | Nayr whats the graphics card on it? | 00:28 |
| pw-toxic | GentooGeoff, no.. updatedb is still running.. i kept php.ini as is | 00:28 |
| VCoolio | BobH: if you have and want to make use of more than 3Gb RAM you need 64-bit; otherwise, not really according to what I read lately, but it doesn't hurt, some stuff is a bit faster | 00:28 |
| TSK | Thus far, I've discovered that XBMC, Boxee, and Blender all crash since the Maverick upgrade on my box. | 00:28 |
| GentooGeoff | pw-toxic: Try using using extension: mysql.so | 00:28 |

| konraddo | no | 00:33 |
| GentooGeoff | Felip0n: You can make changes to the kernel when Ubuntu is running, yes. But you have to rebuild the kernel and boot into it for the changes to take affect | 00:34 |

| Rob235 | first is how do you make xchat perform a server command on server join | 00:38 |
| Nayr | chrome is way lighter than firefox | 00:38 |
| magnet44 | it will feel lighter | 00:38 |
| GentooGeoff | It's not Nayr | 00:39 |

| magnet44 | Are you surprised that people think it's lighter? | 00:40 |
| Rob235 | thats to save the transcript | 00:40 |
| magnet44 | That's so much FUD it's not even remotely humours | 00:40 |

| Rob235 | ok well after you hit edit what do you do | 00:41 |
| Rob235 | i dont see perform commands or anything like that | 00:41 |
| magnet44 | GentooGeoff, agreed - its easily using 3-4x the memory in windows at lesat | 00:41 |

| Rob235 | which should i use | 00:49 |

| GentooGeoff | There is no best application for anything, it's all your preference | 00:49 |

| Scunizi | pluhngz: you need the libdvdcss(something) to play commercial dvd's. the medibuntu repos have it. | 00:50 |
| Scunizi | !medibuntu | pluhngz | 00:50 |
| ubottu | pluhngz: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 00:50 |

| pluhngz | im doing those 2 commands on that site | 00:52 |
| Dwade09 | GentooGeoff, isnt there a app that does it now? | 00:52 |
| GentooGeoff | Possibly, I wouldn't know. I've never used any other application for it. Never had a need to | 00:52 |
| Nayr | im gonna get epiphany | 00:53 |
| Dwade09 | i dont know how to do the fstab im just learning ubuntu | 00:53 |
| Phail_Quail | Dwade09: That's the joy of Linux - learning by doing. =) | 00:53 |
| Nayr | Is there any other window manager that would help, because ubuntu netbook edition is running really slow | 00:54 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab Dwade09 | 00:54 |
| Dwade09 | yes i know Phail_Quail but could someone lead me in the right direction for setting ntfs up with read/write usign fstab? | 00:54 |
| pluhngz | scunizi, i typed those 2 commands | 00:54 |
| pluhngz | what package i have to install now | 00:54 |
| pluhngz | to watch dvd's in vlc | 00:54 |
| Dwade09 | thank you bazhang | 00:54 |

| GentooGeoff | Dwade09: ^ | 00:54 |
| pluhngz | I did the two commands from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 00:54 |
| smacktalk | I'm having trouble installing tomahawk the ips tester | 00:54 |
| bastidrazor | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions Dwade09 | 00:55 |
| mbroeker | Naynay, compared to what? | 00:55 |
| Phail_Quail | bazhang: thanks for posting that. I'm in irssi running off an arch cd and can't look things up to post here. >_> | 00:55 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, what two commands | 00:55 |
| Dwade09 | also i cant seem to make my mouse use two finger scroll its a touchpad | 00:55 |
| bazhang | Phail_Quail, might want to learn the ubottu factoids for future reference | 00:55 |
| Nayr | mbroeker, the default with ubuntu netbook edition | 00:55 |
| pluhngz | bazhang, its safe, from the url | 00:55 |
| pluhngz | so i can get medibuntu setup | 00:55 |
| Phail_Quail | bazhang: !fstab, right? | 00:55 |
| pluhngz | theres a command now to install libdvdcss2 | 00:55 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, what two commands please say exactly | 00:55 |
| mbroeker | Naynay, the default netbook edition of ubuntu is slower than ... | 00:56 |
| pluhngz | sudo apt-get --yes install app-install-data-medibuntu apport-hooks-medibuntu | 00:56 |
| bazhang | Phail_Quail, /msg ubottu factoid to try some out | 00:56 |
| Phail_Quail | bazhang: thanks | 00:56 |
| pluhngz | and sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update | 00:56 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, you could just download the deb of libdvdcss2 and double click on it | 00:56 |
| pluhngz | so now i have useless bloat? | 00:57 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, also install ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 00:57 |
| Dwade09 | bastidrazor, i did yours and its not letting me do anything in it i see the partition but it is greyed out for all items | 00:57 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, no, just no need for the repo, an addition to your sources.list is hardly bloat | 00:57 |
| oliver602 | just did an strace on gs for a one page print job and the output log was 662Mb long. is that normal? | 00:57 |
| Nayr | holy...I just got an error that said I have 0 bytes disk space left... | 00:58 |
| bastidrazor | Dwade09: how are you trying to edit fstab? with vim or nano or gedit? | 00:58 |
| Phail_Quail | Nayr: pastebin it | 00:58 |
| Dwade09 | bastidrazor, with that link u gave me for the program | 00:58 |
| Phail_Quail | bastidrazor: he claimed to be new to Linux, so probably nano or gedit. | 00:58 |
| pluhngz | bazhang, that extras installed alot | 00:59 |
| Nayr | Phail_Quail, sorry i dont get your meaning | 00:59 |
| Phail_Quail | Nayr: please read my private message | 01:00 |
| konraddo | hmmm, so i would like to try to install ndiswrapper drivers for this stupid broadcom :F | 01:00 |
| konraddo | can sb help me with that? : ) | 01:00 |
| bastidrazor | Dwade09: gksudo gedit and then your password? | 01:00 |
| pluhngz | ok | 01:00 |
| pluhngz | i can now play dvd's | 01:00 |
| pluhngz | in vlc, thanks | 01:00 |
| pluhngz | why did i have to go through ALL that | 01:00 |
| FloodBot1 | pluhngz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:00 |
| pluhngz | just to watch a dvd? | 01:00 |
| Dwade09 | ok i got it going now bastidrazor thank you, i didnt run it as admin | 01:01 |
| UnholyTerror | drm | 01:01 |
| hoangwy | hello | 01:01 |
| pluhngz | but why in windows you dont have to do that? | 01:01 |
| pluhngz | Ubuntu is trying to become mass market | 01:01 |
| pluhngz | "mass market" doesnt know how to do all those steps | 01:01 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, copyright restrictions; because windows pays the licensing fees | 01:01 |
| Phail_Quail | pluhngz: most of the codecs to playback DVD's are proprietary and as such we do not include them. We believe in using software that is "free as in beer" | 01:01 |
| UnholyTerror | because they pay | 01:01 |
| magnet44 | Is it possible to just change the handles that gnome-panel uses for the applets/widgets? | 01:01 |
| bastidrazor | Dwade09: not a problem. it takes a bit of time to get used to linux. https://help.ubuntu.com is the best place for howto's on nearly anything. | 01:02 |
| Phail_Quail | Dwade09: just stick with it. It's a bit of a steep learning curve at the very first, but in about two weeks you'll hit a point where you're like "Oh!" and then it's all downhill there. (On learning linux...) | 01:03 |
| pluhngz | so if im now able to watch dvd's by installing | 01:03 |
| pluhngz | these various packages | 01:03 |
| pluhngz | this is illegal then, because i install it? | 01:04 |
| pluhngz | why not simply bundle libdvdcss2 w/ 10.10? | 01:04 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, is it working? | 01:04 |
| Dwade09 | bastidrazor, and Phail_Quail thank you so much. | 01:04 |
| Phail_Quail | pluhngz: Nothing in the repos is illegal. That'd be illegal. =P | 01:04 |
| pluhngz | yes, but if it was a free side download, whats point in not bundling it with 10.10 | 01:04 |
| Dwade09 | mind one more thing bugging me? | 01:04 |
| blackshirt | pluhngz: what you mean with ilegals ?? | 01:04 |
| bastidrazor | Dwade09: best of luck | 01:04 |
| bazhang | pluhngz, lets discuss the legalities in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 01:04 |
| Dwade09 | how do i set my mouse with two finger scrolling? | 01:04 |
| blackshirt | please, read a licence come with the packages | 01:05 |
| Dwade09 | its a touchpad | 01:05 |
| nimbiotics | Hello all. While trying to copy some very large files (around 4Gb each) to a FAT32 usb drive, I keep geting this message: "Error splicing file: File too large". How can I copy these files? TIA! | 01:05 |
| pluhngz | how can i test 5.1 configure? with audigy 2 | 01:05 |
| blakkheim | nimbiotics: you can't put a 4gb file on fat32 | 01:05 |
| pluhngz | my dvd's are only playing through front left/right speaker | 01:05 |
| pluhngz | and subwoofer | 01:05 |
| pluhngz | middle, and back left/right arent doing sound | 01:05 |

| nimbiotics | blakkheim: Ok, Thanks | 01:05 |
| sniperjo | how do i stop vlc from playing a video through ssh, but on its actual screen | 01:05 |
| blackshirt | nimbiotics: i think its a problem with fat32 partition with large file support | 01:05 |
| bastidrazor | sniperjo: killall vlc | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | I have never been able to play Riddick even with libdvdcss2 installed... | 01:07 |
| nimbiotics | blackshirt: Thanks | 01:07 |
| UnholyTerror | some just don't work | 01:07 |
| sniperjo | blaatmeister_: surely thats just going to kill it, i want it to play on the actual screen, not the remote through ssh | 01:07 |
| qwd | How can I do audio/video calls between Ubuntu 10.04 and Debian Squeeze? We both have empathy 2.30 and telepathy-gabble but sound is very bad and video doesn't work at all. Does something else work better? | 01:08 |
| bastidrazor | sniperjo: ah, i misread. | 01:08 |
| endeavormac | I was under the impression that if I had Lucid, apt-get dist-upgrade should bring me to maverick? | 01:09 |
| blakkheim | endeavormac: sudo do-release-upgrade | 01:09 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | endeavormac | 01:09 |
| ubottu | endeavormac: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 01:09 |
| Flannel | endeavormac: No, dist-upgrade doesn't do that (it can, but there's other things you need to do beforehand) | 01:09 |
| yokomoto | endeavormac, you may need to enable 'normal releases' in the software sources instead of 'long term releases' | 01:09 |
| endeavormac | ok thaks | 01:09 |
| Mahjongg | hello, can I see information about the monitor in /proc ? | 01:10 |

| shcherbak | gunevict or xpra? | 01:10 |
| yokomoto | is there an alternative to 'RedShift' that works with 10.10 ? | 01:11 |
| syzygy | I needed to log onto a wifi site and a little window opened for the password for the site which I entered. Then it asked me for my keyring password. What is that? I gave my user password but it didn't work. What to do? | 01:11 |
| syzygy | BTW, running 10.10 netbook edition | 01:12 |
| Scunizi | syzygy: user password is first then the password of the protected wifi connection | 01:12 |
| Scunizi | typically... anyway | 01:12 |
| syzygy | Scunizi: if first asked for the site passwd, then some sort of keyring passwd. I already entered my passwd to login. | 01:13 |
| Scunizi | syzygy: might be that it's not using the right type of encryption.. ie wep vs wpa .. then there's different types of wpa | 01:14 |
| yokomoto | are you using your home network or a public network? | 01:14 |
| yokomoto | for example, some libraries allow you to connect to their wireless, but ask for a keyring once you try to browse; to keep out leechers. | 01:15 |
| syzygy | yokomoto: if that's for me, I was using a network at a local bike shop. The owner gave me the passwd. | 01:15 |
| yokomoto | syzygy, are you trying to connect to the wireless or login to a website (already connected) ? | 01:15 |
| syzygy | I have no problem with "open" wifi such as the library or McDonalds | 01:15 |
| syzygy | yokomoto: I was not already connected | 01:16 |
| yokomoto | Did you enable 'Passphrase' for the password option or 'Wep' or 'Wpa' ? The password might not be the correct type. | 01:18 |
| Nayr | Phail_Quail I know why it's doing that | 01:19 |
| Nayr | im booting from a flashdrive | 01:19 |
| dancek | syzygy, chances are the wireless network had WPA2 encryption and your wifi card/driver doesn't support it | 01:19 |
| Vero2 | join/ubuntu.es | 01:20 |
| pluhngz | my dvd's are only playing through front left/right, and sub woofer, but not front middle, and back/left/right speakers..........games play through all 5...is this because the dvd' doesnt have sound for those channels, or is the soundcard not fully configured for 5.1? | 01:20 |
| tacomaster | i just wanted to say i switched from 10.04 to 10.10 and i am amazed by the changes like my usb wireless is auto detected alot more as well 8-) very happy | 01:20 |
| syzygy | yokomoto: dunno. All I know is that I opened my netbook and started it and logged onto my OS, then clicked the wireless icon and it gave me a list of sites and I clicked the appropriate one and it asked for the WPA password which I gave and hit continue and then it asked for my "keyring" passwd. | 01:21 |
| === ahmed is now known as Guest74167 | ||
| yokomoto | syzygy, Oh. That I believe is the gnome password save thing | 01:21 |
| yokomoto | syzygy, similar to when Firefox asks if you'd like to save your password when you login somewhere | 01:22 |
| cimenta | hi, I installed pureFTPd and I want it to start when my comp boots. probably using init.d how can I do that? The right way :-) | 01:22 |
| syzygy | yokomoto: Ok, well where can I find or make the gnome passwd? | 01:22 |
| Dsbeerf | Hello someone can tell me how i can change the hostname of my box i have a vps on ubuntu i change /etc/hostname and also /etc/hosts but every reboot it rechange to vps412 and also when i check hostname is back to the orignal one and hosts too | 01:23 |
| yokomoto | syzygy, try using your login password for your user account | 01:23 |
| zatan | Hi, my TOUCHPAD is not working , is anybody know how to fix this issues ? | 01:23 |
| syzygy | yokomoto: it didn't accept it | 01:23 |
| compaq | what the heck, I can't play encrypted dvd's. It say can't read resource. I think I used to be able to, but since one of the update I did, I can't now. And I followed all the guides, to installed restricted, or libdvdread script, and medibuntu, but still can't read encrypted dvd's | 01:24 |
| yokomoto | syzygy, did you ever create one at one point? maybe the first time you connected to a wireless connection | 01:24 |
| yokomoto | that the user account i was talking about was your computer login password not the website | 01:25 |
| sergeant_ | how do i install the netbook remix as an option under ubuntu 10.10 | 01:26 |
| shcherbak | syzygy: remove keyring files from home | 01:26 |
| oliver602 | syzygy: if you have forgotten your keyring password, you can delete your keyring if you go to System -> Preferences -> Encryption and passwords. you'll loose any saved passwords. | 01:26 |
| sergeant_ | do i type like sudo apt-get install netbook-remix or something like that? | 01:26 |
| syzygy | oliver602: I didn't forget. I never made one. | 01:26 |

| sergeant_ | How would I go about installing the netbook remix on a preexisting ubuntu 10.10 install? | 01:46 |
| sergeant_ | sudo apt-get install netbook-remix? | 01:46 |
| smalls | Can someone help me with an rsyslog question | 01:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | sergeant_, "sudo apt-get install unity" | 01:46 |
| rallias | sergeant_ Try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook | 01:46 |
| sergeant_ | which is it? | 01:46 |
| rallias | sergeant_ try them all. | 01:46 |
| sergeant_ | ok | 01:46 |
| v3nd3tta`` | rallias: as it seems you want to install phpbb3 on a ubuntu web server trhough ssh... first try to extract the tar.gz archieve (tar --help might help, tar -xzf) and then "cd /var/www" "ln -s /home/rallias/phpbb3 phpbb3" | 01:47 |
| rookie2010 | can someone help me with audio drivers for ubuntu server | 01:47 |
| rallias | v3nd3tta``: I have it installed, but my web server only has 65 kb of space left. | 01:47 |
| HiskiBoy1 | yes sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook is correct | 01:47 |
| v3nd3tta`` | uh | 01:48 |
| sergeant_ | whoops i did the install unity | 01:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | sergeant_, don't worry that's all you need - just log out to GDM and log back in as Netbook edition ;) | 01:48 |
| rallias | sergeant_ its ok. Unity is a different package, which ubuntu-netbook is dependent. Saves you time in the medium run. | 01:48 |
| sergeant_ | sic | 01:48 |
| HiskiBoy1 | but unity notebok remix sux | 01:49 |
| rallias | ZykoticK9: Are you sure? I thought that ubuntu-netbook had different set of programs that sudo apt-get install unity doesn't install. | 01:49 |
| sergeant_ | i want to try it | 01:49 |
| v3nd3tta`` | if you have it in /home/rallias/phpbb3 installed try "cd /var/www" and "ln -s /home/rallias/phpbb3 phpbb3 | 01:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | HiskiBoy1, Unity replaces Gnome in next verion! | 01:49 |
| sergeant_ | yikes im not so sure about that | 01:49 |
| sergeant_ | gnome is cool too | 01:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | rallias, ok that's true in a way - default chromium instead of firefox | 01:49 |
| sergeant_ | that will be awesome | 01:50 |
| sergeant_ | i love chrome and i hate having to get it myself | 01:50 |
| shcherbak | Ubuntu is going be gnome-based with no gnome ;) | 01:50 |
| HiskiBoy1 | ok | 01:50 |
| rallias | ZykoticK9: So now I'm discouraged from using unity because I cannot use chromium (always crashes on me in ubuntu) | 01:50 |
| rallias | Is it possible to install gnome on windows 7? | 01:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | rallias, report a bug if it's actually chromium (and not chrome) | 01:51 |

| NightCore | how i edit the file ? | 01:56 |
| NightCore | i edit that file vim /etc/defaults/locale | 01:56 |
| NightCore | and want to save | 01:56 |
| Kage | NightCore: a text editor vim is one, but nano is better if you have never used vim | 01:56 |
| Kage | NightCore: vim can be frustrating for new users | 01:56 |
| power | any girl here? | 01:56 |
| KimLaRoux | no | 01:56 |
| KimLaRoux | Kage, and nano can be frustrating to long-time users of vim XD | 01:57 |

| Kage | KimLaRoux: but explaining insert and command mode | 01:57 |
| Kage | NightCore: it should be installed | 01:57 |
| FFForever | dli, it stutters/static when I play urandom | 01:58 |
| Kage | NightCore: also, you'll likely have to include sudo as that file is owned by root | 01:58 |
| Kage | NightCore: sudo nano /etc/defaults/locale | 01:58 |
| NightCore | ok its work.. how i save ? | 01:58 |
| paranormal-rash- | it seems as if my ubuntu one will not connect to account via internet, there's no where to sign in on application | 01:59 |

| Kage | NightCore: ... | 02:00 |
| xangua | urthmover: 9.04 is no longer suported, better upgrade to a recente version. you can invert colors with a compiz plugin | 02:00 |
| dli | FFForever, and it's so even without pulse? | 02:00 |
| NightCore | hmm sorry my english bad | 02:00 |
| Kage | NightCore: I doubt it exists but you could try #ubuntu-he | 02:00 |
| urthmover | xangua: ok thanks I'll dig around the compiz stuff and find something that will work | 02:01 |
| Kage | nope, doesn't exist | 02:01 |
| Kage | NightCore: :\ | 02:01 |
| Kage | NightCore: try editing the file with a gui editor, should be easier to use | 02:01 |

| PJSingh5000 | I'm pretty impressed with the tight integration of apps in the Gnome version. | 02:14 |
| RobertSaganek2 | Hey does anyone here use AA 2.5 Assist | 02:15 |
| rww | ubottu: crossposting | RobertSaganek2 | 02:15 |
| ubottu | RobertSaganek2: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. | 02:15 |
| KimLaRoux | what's so impressive about it? | 02:15 |
| jrr | the magic trackpad multitouch demo is way cool, but how can I actually use this thing as a mouse? | 02:16 |
| john38 | How do i install rpm files using --force -debian switch when im off X-server | 02:16 |
| john38 | ??? | 02:16 |
| deadman_ | is there any way u can run ubontu on a powerbook g4 | 02:16 |
| PJSingh5000 | For one think, I actually like the software center. Not as powerful as synaptic, but very user friednly. | 02:16 |
| jrr | deadman_: ubuntu dropped ppc a while ago iirc | 02:17 |
| jrr | several distros still maintain it | 02:17 |
| rww | ubottu: ppc | deadman_ | 02:17 |
| ubottu | deadman_: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 02:17 |
| AbhiJit | !rpm | john38 | 02:17 |
| ubottu | john38: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 02:17 |
| KimLaRoux | they changed a few things in kpackagekit in 10.10, finaly for the better | 02:17 |
| deadman_ | k thanks | 02:17 |
| KimLaRoux | it still lacks too many features though | 02:17 |
| john38 | AbhiJit, i need to install a linux driver but i have to disable x-server | 02:18 |
| john38 | AbhiJit, how do i install in virtual terminal using alien? | 02:18 |
| chrometiger | can anyone tell me how to fix 10.10 so that I can use gpsbabel to get tracks off my garmin etrex legend | 02:18 |
| AbhiJit | john38, dunno may be see man alien | 02:19 |

| ubuntu | hi guys, i have just created a ubuntu 10.10 live cd and each time i start up i get the prompt to install ubuntu or try ubuntu. i always want to 'try' ubuntu and use it as a live cd, so is there any way to skip this screen automatically and go straight to the desktop? | 02:20 |
| john38 | Can anybody help me use the Alien converting software | 02:20 |
| PJSingh5000 | I know that if you have a full install of Ubuntu, you can create a "Start Up" Disk. See if your Live CD version has this option. | 02:21 |
| john38 | I need to install a linux driver but i have to disable X-server , How do i install in virtual terminal using alien???? | 02:22 |
| PJSingh5000 | The option is available from System | Administration | Start Up Disk Creator. | 02:22 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: when I created the usb i ticked 'use as startup disk' but still get the prompt to install. i remember using live cds from around 8.04 that didn't always prompt you to install. | 02:22 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: that's the utility i used. | 02:22 |
| PJSingh5000 | Hummm. Here's another suggestion, then... | 02:22 |
| PJSingh5000 | Are you able to use a USB stick to boot off of? If so, you can install Ubuntu to the USB stick. | 02:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ok so Im trying to figure out why aptoncd disks are not able to install packages. I can mount the iso to a folder and add it as a source and it works fine. So the disc formating is just fine I ruled that out. I created the missing cdrom mount point in fstab so at least the mounting is consistent. One question I have is that the sources.list shows something like "deb cdrom:[APTonCD for ubuntu lucid - i386 (2010-10-30 20:24) CD1]/ /" but i | 02:23 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: yes, i'm currently running live off a usb disk. are you saying to boot off a live cd and choose the usb disk as the install destination> | 02:24 |
| ubuntu | *? | 02:24 |
| PJSingh5000 | That is exactly what I am proposing. | 02:24 |
| john38 | Can somebody help me i extraced a tar.gz file and its a bunch of files not a RPM file????? | 02:25 |
| PJSingh5000 | It will show up as a disk during the install process. (Probably sdb). | 02:25 |
| jrr | john38: are you being serious? | 02:25 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: okay, i'll give that a go in the future. when i tried to install it on my laptop, this version of setup was slightly different and wouldn't let me manually resize partitions on my harddrive to fit ubuntu in. is this still possible? | 02:26 |
| john38 | jrr, yeah im not expert | 02:26 |
| === deepakk is now known as dkannan | ||
| john38 | jrr, is the tar.gz a rpm :) | 02:26 |
| jrr | .tar.gz is a "tarball", kind of like a windows zip | 02:26 |
| Gloch | john means u will have to compile it first and configure it | 02:26 |
| jrr | tar appends all the files into one "tape archive"; gzip compresses | 02:26 |
| john38 | so where is rpm file | 02:27 |
| jrr | when downloading application packages, tarballs usually contain source code you need to compile yourself | 02:27 |
| Gloch | best off looking for a rpm version of whatever it is youre after | 02:27 |
| jrr | rpm is an installer format used by other linux distributions | 02:27 |
| pksadiq | am I not in the ubuntu channel, is this redhat or fedorachannel ? :D | 02:27 |
| jrr | ubuntu does not use rpm, it uses apt | 02:27 |
| PJSingh5000 | I haven't recently tried to resize partitions during an install process. If you install to a USB stick, I don't think you would need to resize the USB partitions, would you? | 02:27 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: what are you trying to accomplish? | 02:27 |
| Gloch | ya | 02:27 |
| rww | pksadiq: This isn't #archlinux? Everything makes sense now! | 02:27 |

| pksadiq | rww: Hmmm | 02:28 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: no, not on the usb disk, i mean when installing to my laptop HDD. i would like to put ubuntu on there, but the ubuntu setup won't let me resize or move any partition. it seems very limited in comparison to previous installers. | 02:28 |
| dli | ubuntu, can you run gparted before installer? | 02:29 |
| PJSingh5000 | ubuntu: you can resize the partitions from within Ubuntu. | 02:29 |
| ChrazRitt | i have a problem with grub, i need to fully remove it from my computer because it's broken, and i don't recall how, can anyone help me with this please? | 02:29 |
| shakir | join #ubuntu | 02:29 |
| PJSingh5000 | You can install partition manager and resize the partitions, since you have Ubuntu installed. | 02:30 |
| KimLaRoux | ChrazRitt, why not just fix grub? | 02:30 |
| rww | shakir: you're already here. | 02:30 |
| ChrazRitt | because i don't know how | 02:30 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, well i downloaded this tar.gz file, I need to install a Linux video driver but i have to disable or stop X-server in virtual, the readme.txt told me to extract with tar -zxvf then type "rpm -i dri-intel-3.4.3006.20051209.i386.rpm but then it told me to use --force-debian switch i didnt know how to do it | 02:30 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: thanks for your help so far, i'll try that now. i am a windows user so i'm not familiar with many of the ubuntu programs/options. where do you set your current location? my time is set to 2:30am (and NTP synchronised) but it is 2:30pm where i am. i am assuming the current installation does not know i'm in Australia. | 02:30 |
| PJSingh5000 | sudo apt-get install gparted | 02:30 |
| ChrazRitt | right now i can't boot to anything on the hdd | 02:31 |
| ilovefairuz | !grub2 | ChrazRitt, read the section about reinstalling grub | 02:31 |
| ubottu | ChrazRitt, read the section about reinstalling grub: 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 | 02:31 |

| shakir | Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed , how to fix ? | 02:31 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, i think it told me to install rpm using alien | 02:31 |
| PJSingh5000 | ubuntu, I used to be a Windows user a looong time ago. You've get tused to all of this, and you'll find you won't need to use Windows at all. | 02:31 |
| ChrazRitt | would that be found online? | 02:31 |
| PJSingh5000 | One thing: COPY YOUR DATA SOMEWHERE ELSE BEFORE YOU TRY PARTITIONING!!! | 02:32 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: why do you need to use an external package instead of the shipped drivers? | 02:32 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, huh | 02:32 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: why do you need to install an external driver? | 02:33 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, the open source drivers arent enough i need to install proprietary drivers | 02:33 |
| ChrazRitt | ubottu, is that in docs that are found online? | 02:33 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:33 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: what's the output of: sudo lshw -C display | 02:33 |
| PJSingh5000 | Also, the KDE partition manager is very user friendly. Install it from Ubuntu Software Center, of simply type in a command line: sudo apt-get install partitionmanager | 02:33 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: i am finding ubuntu easier and easier to use, but there is still some software that is windows only (such as itunes (which i despise) but need for my iphone) | 02:33 |
| shakir | Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed , how to fix ? | 02:33 |
| ilovefairuz | ChrazRitt: click the links that ubottu gave you | 02:33 |
| pksadiq | !ipod | 02:33 |

| ChrazRitt | link isn't working | 02:34 |
| PJSingh5000 | Actually, there are ways to manage your itunes files from Ubuntu, but I am not very much into that. I'm sure you'll find solutions out there. | 02:34 |

| ilovefairuz | lighta: describe in details, all on one line | 02:41 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: correction: part of the kernel now ** | 02:41 |
| PJSingh5000 | I remember gparted being a bit buggy when I used it a couple of years ago. partitionmanager (also available from Ubuntu Software Center) was much better for me. However, you might lose data due to user error, not due to the software. | 02:41 |
| NightCore | how i do a shortcut ? i dont see the option when i click right click | 02:41 |
| PJSingh5000 | (I've had this happen to me a few times). | 02:41 |
| ilovefairuz | NightCore: select "Add to Panel", then Launcher | 02:42 |
| ilovefairuz | or Custom Launcher, if you prefer | 02:42 |

| NightCore | ilovefairuez : i dont have add to panel | 02:42 |
| ubuntu | PJSingh5000: okay, i'm familiar with gparted but will take your advice and experience and install partitionmanager to complete the task. | 02:42 |
| ilovefairuz | lighta: what's the output of: sudo lshw -C display and what ubuntu version are you running? | 02:43 |

| Sean93 | how would i run firefox as read only, so that it doesnt write any data to disk?? | 02:45 |

| m3wt | I mean, flash will always write those pesky flash cookies. | 02:45 |
| pksadiq | Sean93: might be Tools > start private browsing does that | 02:46 |
| Sean93 | m3wt: i don't have to run it from read only media? | 02:46 |
| ilovefairuz | NightCore: it's a temporary shortcut, will be removed when you umount the partition, but you can hide it using: gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible -t bool false | 02:46 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, i converted to .deb file using alien and installed it | 02:46 |
| PJSingh5000 | Sean93: there is also a setting, if you type "about:config" in your FireFox address bar. I don't remember the exact value that you need to change. | 02:46 |

| Sean93 | m3wt: secure my browser | 02:47 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, why | 02:47 |
| m3wt | from what? | 02:47 |
| Sean93 | m3wt: leaking data | 02:48 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: you've ignored what i told you, there are NO proprietary drivers for this chip, the ones on intel site are just old precompiled binaries | 02:48 |
| m3wt | it will do that regardless. | 02:48 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : the command gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible -t bool false dont work | 02:48 |
| m3wt | Sean93: https://panopticlick.eff.org/ | 02:49 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, it first started when i plugged in a radeon X1600 pro AGP 8x card, monitor started flickering at startup i was almost impossible to work when loaded | 02:49 |
| Sean93 | so, if i went online and tyoed in my credit card details there iis no chance of anyone intercepting them? | 02:49 |
| moviefan33 | Hello | 02:49 |
| ilovefairuz | NightCore: be more descriptive, did you get an error? | 02:49 |
| Humashoom | Hello. Is there anybody that can help me install Wine version 1.2.1? I've tried the winehq channel and nobody responded. | 02:49 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, i guess card is to much for system | 02:49 |
| PJSingh5000 | pradeep: you should edit the file called ".profile" in your home directory. | 02:49 |
| jrib | Sean93: this channel is for ubuntu support only | 02:49 |
| m3wt | Sean93: find and install https everywhere. | 02:49 |

| blahdeblah | Anyone got a copy of 64-bit lucid handy? I'd like to check something out. The coreutils package on my machine, which includes really important core functionality like /bin/cat, /usr/bin/md5sum, etc., was updated on 22 Oct, yet i can't find any security notice about such an update in the mailing list archives. Did anyone see anything to the effect that there was a required upgrade for it? | 02:50 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: the drivers for this chipset are buggy, you should have looked for a workaround and/or reported a bug | 02:50 |
| m3wt | Sean93, you might have better luck in #firefox | 02:50 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : ah dont error but its work dude thanks ! | 02:50 |
| PJSingh5000 | in the file, at the end, type CLASSPATH=<what ever you want> | 02:50 |
| Sean93 | i origionally came on to find out how to mount a device as read only in ubuntu | 02:50 |
| jrib | Sean93: ok, not sure how that's related to credit card numbers on the internet | 02:50 |
| PJSingh5000 | under that type: export CLASSPATH | 02:50 |
| PJSingh5000 | then save .profile | 02:50 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, should i return card and get a lower profile one | 02:51 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : you know how i design my desktop like this ? http://www.taranfx.com/wp-content/uploads/ubuntu-10.10.jpg | 02:51 |
| Humashoom | ubottu: I've already read and followed the website several times. I've installed and uninstalled versions 1.2 and 1.3 several times. But I can't seen to install version 1.2.1 | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:51 |
| PJSingh5000 | (notice that .profile is a hidden file and has a "." in front of it. | 02:51 |
| john38 | ilovefairuz, i think card uses GDDR2 | 02:51 |
| m3wt | Sean93: mount -r ? | 02:51 |
| Sean93 | jrib: i meant my browser writing it to my harddrisk | 02:51 |

| ubottu | NightCore, please see my private message | 02:51 |
| PJSingh5000 | Finally, log our and log back in. Your CLASSPATH will be set as you specified. | 02:51 |
| jrib | Sean93: ask your actual question | 02:51 |
| jrib | Humashoom: why do you want that particular version? | 02:51 |
| NightCore | ok | 02:51 |
| Humashoom | For a game. | 02:52 |
| Sean93 | how do i mount a device as read only?? | 02:52 |
| PJSingh5000 | pradeep: You might also want to do the same with JAVA_HOME | 02:52 |
| NightCore | sorry | 02:52 |
| ilovefairuz | Sean93: in private browsing mode, almost NO data will be written to the hard disk, no need to mount the driver as read only | 02:52 |
| Sean93 | ilovefairuz: almost?? | 02:52 |
| Humashoom | I'm getting a message from Wine "***Finished***" when I run the game and then nothing. | 02:52 |
| |alucard| | can anybody help me.. in accessing my usb webcam?? | 02:52 |
| jrib | Sean93: pass the "ro" option to mount, but I am guessing you actually mean to ask/accomplish something else | 02:52 |
| pksadiq | Sean93: make that folder ~/.mozilla/firefox as Readonly | 02:53 |
| ilovefairuz | Sean93: yes, except for SSL/TLS signatures, no data is ever written | 02:53 |
| m3wt | Sean93: not writing data to your harddrive isn't going to stop a man in the middle sniffing your session. | 02:53 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : why i see all the extension files ? (example: movie1.avi) | 02:53 |
| Humashoom | It was suggested that I need version 1.2.1 of Wine. | 02:53 |

| Sean93 | can i just make the firefox folder read only instead of the whole device?? firefox wont be able to write anywhere? | 02:54 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: '??' meaning what? | 02:54 |
| Humashoom | Ubottu: Ok. | 02:54 |
| lighta | ilovefairuz, maybe you didn't see so, xubuntu 10.04 is my distri and here is lshw result http://paste.ubuntu.com/523041/ | 02:54 |

| john38 | ilovefairuz, one quick question if i decide to install windows will i have same problem with X1600pro | 02:56 |
| NightCore | why i see all the extension files ? (example: movie1.avi) | 02:56 |
| |alucard| | ilovefairuz: what?.. | 02:56 |
| ilovefairuz | john38: no idea, ask in #windows | 02:56 |
| jrib | I answer questions that 1) are ubuntu related and 2) are actual questions | 02:56 |
| Sean93 | jrib: you have confused me | 02:56 |
| ilovefairuz | |alucard|: open a terminal, type: lsusb and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com | 02:56 |

| pksadiq | Sean93: try sudo chmod -w ~/.mozilla/firefox | 02:57 |
| jrib | Sean93: by asking you why you want to make it so firefox doesn't write anywhere? | 02:57 |
| ilovefairuz | jrib: he already said why | 02:57 |
| Sean93 | jrib: i enjoy making things more secure | 02:57 |
| jrib | ilovefairuz: his reply was "why not" | 02:57 |
| Sean93 | jrib: happy?? | 02:57 |
| jrib | Sean93: this doesn't make things more secure | 02:58 |
| pksadiq | Sean93: but this code only only blocks firefox to write to cache | 02:58 |
| Sean93 | jrib:and how do you come to that conclusion? | 02:58 |
| NightCore | 2 Questions : | why i see all the extension files ? (example: movie1.avi) | | How i make to trash shortkey in desktop ?" | 02:58 |
| ilovefairuz | jrib: he mentioned concerns with his credit card data | 02:58 |
| jrib | ilovefairuz: i am not omnicient | 02:58 |
| jrib | Humashoom: checked the wine ppa? Otherwise you likely have to compile if you need that particular version. Did you check appdb? | 02:59 |
| PJSingh5000 | Sean93 if you are concerned about security of your FireFox files cached to disk... | 03:00 |
| PJSingh5000 | in the URL (Navigation Bar), type: about:config | 03:00 |
| Humashoom | Jrib: I removed the wine ppa as per instructions for prepairing to install 1.2.1 | 03:00 |
| jrib | Sean93: do you just want firefox to not save the form history where you enter your credit card info? | 03:00 |
| PJSingh5000 | Sean93: then search for browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl | 03:01 |
| PJSingh5000 | Sean93: then set this to true. | 03:01 |
| PJSingh5000 | Your files saved on disk should be encrypted. | 03:01 |

| |alucard| | how can i access my USB webcam in pidgin chat | 03:02 |
| Sean93 | jrib: no, i want it to be impossible to use forensic analisis to recover my card data | 03:02 |
| Humashoom | Jrib: I can install the ppa and install wine as stated on winehq's website. But when I check the version it's 1.2, not 1.2.1 | 03:02 |
| cable-summers | do i need to download anything to autorun a disc? | 03:02 |
| PJSingh5000 | Sean93: But to be honest, the suggestion someone made earlier about using the "Private Browsing" feature fro mthe Tools menus is the best /easiest approach. | 03:02 |
| jrib | Sean93: so you just want firefox to not save the form history where you enter your credit card info? Where else would firefox keep your credit card data? | 03:02 |

| Phail_Quail | Licuadora: it's USB? | 03:22 |
| Licuadora | I have a CompactFlash reader | 03:22 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: maybe the reader needs a driver | 03:23 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : i didnt ask it | 03:23 |

| NightCore | ilovefairuz : ah yes | 03:24 |
| aut0tek | pksadiq: what? | 03:24 |
| Phail_Quail | oliver602: if you have to ask, you're probably not ready for it. | 03:24 |
| Licuadora | goku1, I think so, it is a CANON memory card | 03:24 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : change passhrase caching settings in 'seahorse' ? | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Licuadora: reboot and login with the card out, the plug it in, wait 10 seconds then run: dmesg | tail; mount; sudo fdisk -l use http://pastebin.com to give the output. Thanks | 03:24 |
| NightCore | sorry i cant understand | 03:24 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: ntfs marked dirty dont auto mount | 03:24 |
| oliver602 | i want to look at it in a virtual machine | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | oliver602: there is an alpha out next month | 03:25 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: you should be able to maount it manuly as read only | 03:25 |
| IdleOne | oliver602: no not yet. #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 | 03:25 |
| oliver602 | ok thanks | 03:25 |

| titan-ark | hi! I am using 10.04 on an HPdv4t and I have noticed my battery back up is much lower when compared to my win 7 boot, and also it is generally warmer (toasting while charging and using some more resources like virtual box, etc) | 03:26 |
| Licuadora | goku1, Are those commands gonna format my memory card? because I have some important pictures there | 03:26 |
| jean_ | ol | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | titan-ark: are there bugs logged for it? | 03:26 |
| pksadiq | aut0tek: there is some error in the file | 03:26 |
| Licuadora | goku1, I thought fdisk was a partition tool | 03:26 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: no just mount it as read only eg mount /dev/sdb /media/memerycard | 03:26 |
| titan-ark | ActionParsnip, I was unable to find anything | 03:26 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : what now ? | 03:26 |
| pksadiq | aut0tek: patebin the file content | 03:26 |
| Sereph | ive got both editor and visual set to vim but visudo brings up nano, any ideas | 03:27 |
| jrib | pksadiq: you're assuming it's a posix-compliant shell script | 03:27 |
| aut0tek | pksadiq: I'd believe that if it didn't run in 10.04 just fine. :( | 03:27 |
| titan-ark | ActionParsnip, I am not a pro using Ubuntu, so I could be looking in the wrong places | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | titan-ark: then i'd create a bug for acpi thenm | 03:27 |
| Licuadora | let me try it then | 03:27 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: you can use fdisk to see where in dev it is fdish -l | 03:27 |
| Licuadora | thx | 03:27 |
| goku1 | fdisk | 03:27 |

| ilovefairuz | NightCore: Edit > Preferences | 03:28 |
| titan-ark | ActionParsnip, Okay, thank you | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | titan-ark: you'l find hp have worked with microsoft so they can use cheapo software heat monitors rather than nice hardware ones and not made it so Linux plays nice in some way | 03:28 |
| Licuadora | osmodivs@Djiin:~$ fdisk -l | 03:28 |
| Licuadora | osmodivs@Djiin:~$ | 03:28 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : ok.. what now ? | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Licuadora: fdisk needs sudo | 03:28 |
| polyfaux | might I ask the best way to get rid of a geom error on an EEEPC 901 | 03:28 |
| Sereph | Licuadora: sudo fdisk -l | 03:28 |
| pksadiq | jrib: What? | 03:28 |
| ilovefairuz | NightCore: passphrase caching tab | 03:29 |
| jrib | pksadiq: we have to guess what "adb" is because aut0tek does not tell us | 03:29 |
| titan-ark | ActionParsnip, lol yes! i am sick of my laptop, been giving me problems within 3 months | 03:29 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: eg sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/card the second commands need to be to a folder | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | polyfaux: note the precise error and websearch for it | 03:29 |
| Dwade09 | how do i get my internal ip address? | 03:29 |
| jrib | Dwade09: ifconfig | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Dwade09: ifconfig | 03:29 |
| edbian | Dwade09, ip addr | 03:29 |
| Dwade09 | thanks guys | 03:29 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: ifyou dont see the card with fdisk then ubuntu is not seeing the card | 03:29 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : passparhge caching tab ? i have only 2 tabs | 03:29 |
| pksadiq | jrib: He might say, if he needs it seriously | 03:29 |
| Licuadora | goku1, that was i said | 03:30 |
| NightCore | ilovefairuz : its the first tab or second? | 03:30 |
| aut0tek | Hey, cool guy, if you don't wanna help, don't. But when you needed a pastebin for 2 lines, explaining the filetype is the least of my issues with you | 03:30 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: well does fdisk -l see it | 03:30 |
| Licuadora | nope | 03:30 |
| polyfaux | that is the problem i tried to install 10.10 netbook on my 901 now all i get is a blank screen with geom error on the top | 03:30 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: it shod say /dev/sd something and the sector sizes | 03:30 |
| jrib | aut0tek: I don't need the filetype. I need to know what "adb" is. I have to ask you things like 5 times before you answer them, I'm not sure why | 03:30 |
| serenity | anyone an idea how to fix my grub? http://pastebin.ca/1977735 | 03:31 |
| aut0tek | jrib: if you scroll up, I've told you. twice. | 03:31 |
| ceh421 | i multiboot ubuntu, opensuse and win7, grub (installed durring ubuntu install) used to load all fine, still loads windows and ubuntu fine but said error file not found, you must load kernel first when i try to boot ubuntu, any quick fix for this? | 03:31 |
| Licuadora | goku1, Well, there is sda1/sda2/sda5 | 03:31 |
| ceh421 | im sorry, i mean when i try to boot opensuse | 03:31 |
| pksadiq | aut0tek: be calm, from a file without extension, How can we identify? | 03:31 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: it will list all your other drives the memery card probly being the smallest | 03:31 |
| Chris____ | I've got a problem during install. | 03:32 |
| pksadiq | aut0tek: I asked to pastebin the file content, it might be more than a few lines | 03:32 |
| titan-ark | ActionParsnip, I tried ubuntu-bug acpi and in the report section i saw Package: acpi (not installed)!!! what does that mean??? | 03:32 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: that system dule boot or multi hardrive | 03:32 |
| jrib | aut0tek: all you've said is it's some sort of binary file. The easier you make it for us to help you, the more likely we can help you... | 03:32 |
| Licuadora | goku1, first one: LINUX, second: EXTENDED third: LINUX SWAP | 03:32 |
| Chris____ | I was trying to install Ubuntu, but forgot to mount the partition for the windows files to /windows. | 03:32 |
| Licuadora | goku1, first one: LINUX, second: EXTENDED third: LINUX SWAP/SOLARIS | 03:33 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: lol you didnt need to extend it for 2 partation but whatever | 03:33 |
| edbian | Chris____, Oh yeah... ? | 03:33 |
| jrib | aut0tek: maybe I can rephrase it for you. How would I get this "adb" myself? | 03:33 |
| Chris____ | Then, when the screen hung and wouldn't let me finish the install (it just hung on "ready when you are"), I hit back, and now it's completely stuck. | 03:33 |
| === GMACK is now known as Big_Poppa_Ken | ||
| goku1 | Licuadora: then the issue is your card not being saw at all | 03:33 |
| Chris____ | It just keeps saying that it's operating on something and doesn't seem to do anything. | 03:33 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: you make shure your card reader is working | 03:34 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: use lspci | 03:34 |
| Licuadora | goku1, Well, i dont even know what's the deal with extended and swap and solaris stuff | 03:34 |
| alzie | ceh421 I don't think open suse supports grub2 | 03:34 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: see if its in the list | 03:34 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: the card reader | 03:34 |
| ceh421 | alzie, it worked a few times... but then just stopped yesterday | 03:35 |
| shadow98 | anybody on that has experience with csync | 03:36 |
| jrib | shadow98: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 03:36 |
| Chris____ | What should I do so that I can get my computer's functionality back? | 03:36 |
| Licuadora | goku1, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d0NS0gvb | 03:36 |
| Licuadora | goku1, I can't tell | 03:36 |
| alzie | ceh421 do you still get a listing for suse on your grub menu? | 03:37 |
| aut0tek | jrib: Like I said, if I have to pastebin 2 lines for you... I doubt I'm gonna meet your other demands prior to helping. helping someone usually doesn't come with a set of rules, but you can be an assbag all you want. it's a binary executable that bash isn't running for some reason... that's about all the information that could possibly be required to help. May God help you become satisfied with your life, as you obviously aren't | 03:37 |
| aut0tek | currently, and feel the need to make ppl jump through hoops just for you to address their questions like you're a celebrity. Pfft. please. bye. | 03:37 |
| shadow98 | im trying to use csync and im trying to use local ip name for one of the host...with out FQDN...in csync docs it says to use -N hostname from command line option..but im not seeing that as an option | 03:37 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: i dont see it | 03:37 |
| serenity | depmod wants to update grub, but it can't. Details here: http://pastebin.ca/1977735 | 03:37 |
| ceh421 | alzie: yes, the listing is still there | 03:37 |
| Licuadora | damn | 03:38 |
| ceh421 | alzie: when i select suse, it gives me the 'error: file not found, you must load the kernel first" | 03:38 |
| Chris____ | Can anyone help me? | 03:38 |
| goku1 | Licuadora: looks like the card reader isnt being saw | 03:38 |

| Kalidarn | like say some random comes in the channel speaking panish | 03:40 |

| andresmh | ActionParsnip, alright, I will check that. I just want to mention that the first error I got was "unknown keyword in configuration file" which I fixed by removing the word "ui" from the file /syslinux/syslinux.cfg | 03:43 |

| ActionParsnip | andresmh: again, could be a corrupt file due to a bad ISO | 03:43 |
| andresmh | ActionParsnip, um,I find it weird that the link you sent about checking MD5 has instruction for Win. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. | 03:44 |
| goku1 | heh | 03:44 |
| Chris____ | Can someone please help me? I tried to install ubuntu, but forgot to mount the partitioned C drive to be used by windows to /windows. In addition, when the installation process wouldn't let me continue (the forward button was greyed out even when the text said "ready when you are") I hit the back button and now it's not doing anything. Please help. | 03:44 |
| AbhiJit | Chris____, you dont do anything with windows partitions. you just leave it as it is. | 03:44 |
| NightCore | how i install unity in desktop version ? | 03:44 |
| AbhiJit | i never heard anythingl ike /windows | 03:45 |
| Chris____ | Ok, so why did the install just stop? | 03:45 |
| andresmh | ActionParsnip, I found how to check md5 in Ubuntu :) But I'd suggest changing the bot's response to md5 | 03:45 |
| goku1 | Chris____: no space? | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | andresmh: you can do that yourself | 03:45 |
| goku1 | Chris____: do you ean you have to resize windows | 03:45 |
| Chris____ | There should have been plenty of space. I split a 310 GB hard drive in half. | 03:45 |
| alzie | ceh421 sorry I was searching. There seems to be some issue wth grub2 and suse, open suse is still using grub. I found a reference to chain loading grub from grub2 to launch suse as a work around. | 03:46 |
| goku1 | Chris____: oh you fotget to make a mount point if your using advanced its / | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | andresmh: you can say: /msg ubottu !md5 is descriptionhere and the new text will be reviewed by the ops etc | 03:46 |
| goku1 | Chris____: for linux | 03:46 |
| Chris____ | No, I remembered to do that for the root partition. | 03:46 |
| Chris____ | I set everything up the way I should have, but it wouldn't let me finish the install. | 03:46 |
| goku1 | Chris____: formated as ext4 and so on? | 03:47 |
| Chris____ | I formatted as ext3. | 03:47 |
| goku1 | k | 03:47 |

| jla | Hi. I started a 10.10 upgrade more than a few hours ago and it's stuck. On the screen a message about update-grub is in the background behind the upgrade details showing some grub hook processing, and from a virtual console I've found 40+ thousand entries in /tmp/orbit-<myuser>/ and growing. | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest97835: yes, but I have no way of knowing the EXACT path, so I was kinda relying on you to be the smar one and CHANGE the command to the actual path and filename of the file | 04:30 |
| hiexpo | Guest97835, is it a cd rom? | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest97835: hence 'think about it...' | 04:30 |
| abhifx | ActionParsnip: thats the open dns.. no no no... you see its working in rekonq browser too. but not in firefox and other gnome apps | 04:31 |
| abhishek | pleae | 04:32 |

| ActionParsnip | goku1: no idea :) | 04:34 |
| goku1 | Dwade09: try using nfts tools version of chkdsk and see if it unflages the drive it works sometimes | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Dwade09: then you 'll need a friends PC. If you dont use windows then why use NTFS? | 04:34 |
| goku1 | Dwade09: anything you do a unclean shutdown ntfs gets flaged or make a new partation | 04:34 |
| abhishek | am i not audible !!!!!!!1 | 04:35 |
| Dwade09 | if i remove everything on it, format to ext2 or what ever will it work then? | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Dwade09: I suggest you use the safetly unmount feature on the partition in future instead of just ripping it out, this sort of activity is exactly what would cause your issue | 04:35 |
| goku1 | Dwade09: yep but windows whont ever see it | 04:35 |
| Dwade09 | thats fine, | 04:35 |
| abhifx | ActionParsnip: thank you very much. | 04:35 |

| abhishek | anybody please.................... | 04:40 |

| goku1 | Dwade09: just dont have the vm and the drive you wanna fix on the same partation | 04:41 |
| goku1 | yagoo: yes | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | john38: there is no restricted modules package | 04:42 |

| hpz | hey is it safe to upgrade to 10.10 from 9.10 or do i need to do 10.04 first? | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | chuxxsss: can you expand on 'removal blacklist files' | 04:43 |
| john38 | ActionParsnip, here is what im supposed to do | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | hpz: you need to upgrade to lucid first | 04:44 |
| abhishek | when i use open source ati driver, then the boot splash screen loads fine. But when i load the proprietry one then it doesn't. How to handle this? | 04:44 |
| abhishek | also Can i somehow load the ati drivers but use only the CPU for rendering the GUI ? | 04:44 |
| abhifx | ActionParsnip: even the applets in awn doesnt work, so does the screenlets. dont know what is the actual issue. i will restart after installing the updates. lets see | 04:44 |
| abhishek | please tell anyone | 04:44 |
| PJSingh5000 | abishek: have you tried passing parameter vga=XXX to the kerner at boot time? vga=785 is 640×480; vga=788 is 800×600; vga=791 is 1024×768; vga=794 is 1280×1024 | 04:44 |

| hiexpo | hpz, fresh install easier | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | abhishek: the driver will be used to make the x server you see, so no | 04:45 |
| hpz | hiexpo, considered that | 04:45 |
| abhishek | okay and what about the splash screen | 04:45 |
| abhishek | ActionParsnip: ?? | 04:45 |
| chuxxsss | System cannot remove skype-common for upgrade as I wanted to keep it before and it is in a blacklist not to be removed. | 04:45 |
| abhishek | ActionParsnip: when i use open source ati driver, then the boot splash screen loads fine. But when i load the proprietry one then it doesn't. How to handle this? | 04:46 |
| abhishek | ActionParsnip: Right in the boot time can't we tell the Xserver to not use ati but load the drivers ??? | 04:46 |
| PJSingh5000 | abishek: the splash screen may not be displaying because the resolution is not right. Specifying the correct resolution in the boot options might help. | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | john38: that guide is circa 2007, I can tell as Gutsy was the last release to have the menu driven interface when: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg was ran, it doesn't apply now. Just remove the packages and install the packages as it says, should be fine | 04:47 |
| Sayo | hello. i have recently lost all contact with my windows partition, and when clicking it's icon in file manager, it says it can't find it's mount point. I'm on UNR, the latest release. | 04:47 |
| Sayo | Anyone have any idea how to manually find it to re-mount it? | 04:47 |
| DragonKeeper | possible to host 2 websites on the same server ??? | 04:47 |
| Sayo | and/or ideas how this could have happened so i can prevent it in the future :O | 04:47 |
| abhishek | ActionParsinp: In xorg.conf we have things like device section and all so can't we tell the XServer to not use ati and still be able to load the drivers | 04:48 |
| abhishek | ? | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | abhishek: if you use proprietary drivers then that guide I gave will make the boot use the fb driver and give any res it your display can do under such a basic driver (its pretty good though) and will give a splash. When X loads it will load the proprietary driver :) | 04:48 |
| john38 | ActionParsnip, after sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is there a box that comes up asking me what to do | 04:48 |
| john38 | ActionParsnip, ? | 04:48 |
| abhishek | ActionParsnip: sorry i didn't get any guide here | 04:48 |
| abhishek | ? | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | john38: no, the OS doesn't do that now | 04:48 |

| john38 | ActionParsnip, come back to prompt | 04:49 |
| alesan | sometimes the refhres of one page takes seconds | 04:49 |
| alesan | do you know a faster vnc client? | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | john38: it won't it will just reset the settings to failsafe a little, ready for booting the gui | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | alesan: vinagre is part of a stock install | 04:50 |

| alesan | what is? | 04:50 |
| john38 | ActionParsnip, oh im just trying to fix the flickering i get at boot and maximize windows scrolling performance | 04:50 |

| chuxxsss | ActionParsnip System cannot remove skype-common for upgrade as I wanted to keep it before and it is in a blacklist not to be removed. | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | chuxxsss: just remove it, you can reinstall it when you are on the other side | 04:53 |
| chuxxsss | Will not let me remove it | 04:53 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: wouldn't you simply clear your password from your account? | 04:53 |

| ActionParsnip | john38: not sure, if you remove all the ati and radeo drivers (or blacklist them) you will force the OS to use vesa and it will show an x server | 04:55 |
| PJSingh5000 | raraziel: so, in the tool bar of the contact list, you click on Edit | Accounts. Then select your account, anc click o nthe little "broom" icon next to the password? | 04:55 |

| PJSingh5000 | raziel: my icon may be different from yours. In any case, there is a little icon next to the password. That is supposed to clear the password. | 04:59 |
| raziel | PJSIngh5000: i see the icon and its clear my password.. but i cant save my settings when i clear my password | 05:00 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: You should simply be able to click the "Close" button, and your changes are saved. Is the close button not active? | 05:01 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: I also have an "Apply" button. This is active if I clear my password. | 05:01 |

| moviefan33 | hi guys | 05:10 |
| xiven | Has there been a lot of new applications and tools to ubuntu in the past few months? | 05:10 |
| pksadiq | !find coverxp | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Package/file coverxp does not exist in maverick | 05:11 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: (yes, it looks like it had worked for me; I had to re-enter my password on the Administration screen, however, to reconnect. Empathy did not prompt me for a password). | 05:11 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, was gonna tell you that because there is something wrong with the boot loader and only way i could make it boot live was use the ubuntu live usb creator or reconfig the file useing unet bootin but glad ya got it | 05:11 |
| aytekin | hello folks | 05:11 |
| xiven | It's been noticed that open source has taken off pretty nicely, however, I'm curious how it has affected Ubuntu specifically. | 05:11 |
| moviefan33 | its only for windows :( | 05:11 |
| raziel | so what to do register to jabber? | 05:11 |
| pksadiq | moviefan33: What is it for? | 05:12 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: I register to googletalk. | 05:12 |
| moviefan33 | its for printing dvd case covers | 05:12 |
| yagoo | xiven, ooooo ubuntu feels the love... that's how specific it is.. | 05:12 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: ubuntu 9.10's live usb creator didn't create a working maverick liveusb. I had to download Unetbootin. | 05:12 |
| blackshirt | i am using google talk too | 05:12 |
| * moviefan33 loves open source | 05:12 | |
| aytekin | i ve quest for adding list of itunes podcast list to rhytmbox media player | 05:13 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, and it worken no problem no errors ? | 05:13 |
| PJSingh5000 | blackshirt: raziel wants to remove his password from Empathy, and have Empathy prompt him for it each time he tries to connect. Do you know how to do this? | 05:13 |
| xiven | Hmm. Well, unfortunately I haven't been able to see first hand, as even after installing the latest K/Ubuntu release, my wireless isn't able to access the internet. It can see a wireless network or two, but can't seem to connect. | 05:14 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: correct, now I'm on the liveusb as we speak. But I'm saddened to find a regression bug i reported *1 year ago* in Karmic still affecting Maverick. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/409819 | 05:14 |
| smalls | Looking for a hand in 10.10 netbook remix. | 05:14 |
| aytekin | getting all itunes podcast what would i have to do | 05:15 |
| PJSingh5000 | xiven: I read a review about Ubuntu 10.10 where the author complained about this very issue. When he moved just a few feet away from the wireless access point, he lost he connection. | 05:15 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: the only reason why I wanted to upgrade to Maverick was to get to use my laptop's microphone again... but apparently not | 05:15 |
| goku1 | dont bother with remixes | 05:15 |
| blackshirt | i'm not use empathy for chat like app, but use pidgin.. i love pidgin, it's great..sorry, i have a little knowledge about thats :0 | 05:15 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, oh ok ya the pulse audio thing still not solved | 05:15 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: quite disappointing. | 05:15 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: i'm considering going back to windows, i'm getting tired of all these little things not working | 05:15 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, ya i have stayed back and still running 9.10 | 05:16 |
| goku1 | andresmh: lol guess you got 10.10 running | 05:16 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: did you try System | Preferences | Passwords and Encryption Key | 05:16 |
| andresmh | also, i bet the builtin webcam still doesn't work (also a bug i reported a year ago) | 05:16 |
| moviefan33 | i hope this time i can stay with linux. keep going back to windows over little things. | 05:16 |
| xiven | That may be, however, with previous versions I was still unable to connect. Prior to installing the new release, I could get "connected", but I still couldn't access anything. | 05:16 |
| blackshirt | andreshm: ??? | 05:16 |
| raziel | P5JSingh5000 : what i need to do in password and encryption key | 05:16 |
| andresmh | goku1: yeah, i got it running, but sadly all the *regression* bugs i reported a year ago are still there | 05:17 |
| blackshirt | xiven : access what ?? | 05:17 |
| raziel | P5JSingh5000 : there is any remote computer and try to help me please ? | 05:17 |
| andresmh | blackshirt: what "??"? | 05:17 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: there is a "Passwords" tab. In my setup, I see my google account listed. I wonder if you can simply delete your jabber entry? | 05:17 |
| huntz23 | blackshirt: thanks for the help and I think I may have figured out a work around | 05:18 |
| raziel | i dont have jabber | 05:18 |
| raziel | i have icq and msn | 05:18 |
| xiven | I cannot access the internet with ubuntu using my LinkSys WUSB100 "Pen Drive" Wireless Adapter | 05:18 |
| raziel | hmm one sec i check | 05:18 |
| PJSingh5000 | razie: so do you see an entry for icq or msn ? | 05:18 |
| raziel | hmm i remove everything :O | 05:18 |
| blackshirt | hi huntz23.. | 05:18 |
| goku1 | xiven: the wusb linxsys need to use nidswrapper | 05:18 |
| raziel | i think i see icq | 05:18 |
| hiexpo | xiven, what version | 05:18 |
| raziel | what now ? | 05:18 |
| andresmh | how do I tell launchpad that this bug is still active in Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/409819 | 05:18 |
| moviefan33 | HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone! | 05:19 |
| xiven | I tried that, didn't seem to work that way either. | 05:19 |
| IanWizard | Is there any way to make nautilus sort folders case-insensitive, so that flies a, B, c, and D will show up in that order, rather than B, D, a, c | 05:19 |
| goku1 | xiven: thers 2 revs to the wusb make shure you got the right driver | 05:19 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: I would guess that removes your password. May be you need to restart your Empathy to pick-up that change? | 05:19 |

| moviefan33 | when i google disc-cover it says it's for Mac. | 05:25 |
| raziel | BRB , i just login from win7 | 05:25 |
| greezmunkey | I need a dumber computer...this one keeps kickin my tail in chess :( | 05:25 |
| andresmh | blackshirt: basically, i think it should show two devices for sound input, "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" (which I believe is the jack where you can connect a mic) and another one for the mic that is on the chasis of the laptop | 05:25 |
| PJSingh5000 | raziel: Great! What was the fix? | 05:25 |
| blackshirt | andreshmh: all of them not functioning | 05:29 |
| andresmh | blackshirt: last time I checked (6 months ago), connecting an external mic to the jack worked. I don't have one at hand to test now though. | 05:30 |
| nano_ | vv | 05:30 |
| andresmh | blackshirt: do you know what's the command to send more info to launchpad to update that bug? | 05:31 |
| john38 | ActionParsnip, well everything is working fine now even in DVI i did do some adjustments but im still not sure what i did ...could be loose VGA cables, that fact that i changed Onboard Video priority from AGP/INTE_VGA to AGP/PCI or the config with sudo could it be also Video card overheating?? | 05:31 |

| yahyai-0 | See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization i have use this one and i can't change or make text.plymouth!! | 05:34 |
| ravi_ | hi i am not able to store image field could check it this models.py http://pastie.org/1261417 | 05:34 |
| bazhang | yahyai-0, you want a different plymouth theme? | 05:34 |
| andresmh | blackshirt: yup, found it and updated https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/409819 | 05:34 |
| john38 | Does DVI interface draw more heat from Video Card??? | 05:35 |
| john38 | than VGA | 05:35 |
| bazhang | john38, try in ##hardware | 05:35 |
| imran | I have created a new standard user in my ubuntu box but the user can see all dir/files above his home dir. | 05:36 |
| andresmh | blackshirt: too bad linux still hasn't figured out how to deal with hardware nicely. Perhaps it's the manufacturer's fault but still.. you'd think 3 year old hardware would work out of the box. | 05:36 |
| yahyai-0 | i have edit all plymouth theme but i can't change the ubuntu-text-theme !! is there any way to edit it?? | 05:36 |
| imran | is it possible that we can put a standard user in jail environment ? | 05:36 |
| bazhang | yahyai-0, you want to edit the default theme? | 05:36 |
| blackshirt | andreshmh: i don't think so.. | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | andresmh: depends on support by the company, the legacy failsafe stuff will make some stuff work in a fashion but its still bad support by manufacturers | 05:37 |
| yahyai-0 | yes | 05:37 |
| yahyai-0 | <bazhang> yes | 05:37 |
| andresmh | ActionParsnip: perhaps 2011 will be the year of the linux desktop :P | 05:37 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, is is manufactures fault but they are getting better at making them workable for linux | 05:37 |
| linuxuz3r | hello | 05:37 |
| andresmh | now I'm going to see if Maverick can talk to my laptop's webcam (it hasn't worked since 9.10) | 05:38 |
| linuxuz3r | can i still use gnome if unity is the default desktop environment for ubuntu | 05:38 |
| len | I'm trying to use a Netgear WPN511 pcmcia card with a thinkpad 600. The problem is that the card only shows when I type lspci some of the time. When it shows up the ath5k drivers load and work fine, when they the card does load the drivers don't load because they think there is no card. | 05:38 |
| imran | is it possible ? | 05:39 |
| andresmh | wow, my webcam works!!! | 05:39 |
| andresmh | there is hope | 05:39 |
| andresmh | the quality is terrible though | 05:39 |
| len | Funny thing is that the best way to "trick" the system into registering the card is to pull it out plug a wired pcmcia card in, pull it out, then plug the wifi card in. | 05:39 |
| andresmh | oh, i jinxed it, now it crashed | 05:39 |
| linuxuz3r | guys | 05:39 |
| linuxuz3r | can i still use gnome if unity is the default desktop environment for ubuntu?????????????????? | 05:39 |
| len | I can't figure out what the problem is. | 05:40 |
| yahyai-0 | brb | 05:40 |
| pksadiq | /whois | 05:40 |
| len | The card is fine. It works on another system. The slot is fine too, because it works with other pcmcia cards. | 05:40 |
| bazhang | linuxuz3r, in the next version? or now | 05:40 |
| hiexpo | len the arheros card worls fine outta the box | 05:41 |
| linuxuz3r | bazhang, in the next version | 05:41 |

| JayDawg69 | ps auwx | mail -s 'Test!' jfdowd001@hotmail.com | 05:41 |
| len | It does with my other systems, but not with the Thinkpad 600. | 05:41 |
| linuxuz3r | bazhang, thanks | 05:41 |
| len | It only works once in a while. | 05:41 |
| john38 | My screen blanks out at bootup | 05:42 |
| linuxuz3r | bazhang, what about now does the distro comes with unity? | 05:42 |
| andresmh | what is the recommended app to test a laptop webcam? cheese? | 05:42 |
| len | When the drivers load they work fine. but aren't going to load if the card is not showing up in lspci | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | john38: didn't i give you a guide to add a boot option? | 05:42 |
| john38 | ActionParsnip, sorry | 05:43 |

| andresmh | is there a way to configure Empathy so that when a new IM arrives I can open it using a keyboard shortcut rather than having to click the envelope icon of the Indicator Applet? | 05:53 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, why you use empathy | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | andresmh: if you just minimize the window you can use ALT_TAB | 05:55 |

| hiexpo | andresmh, > pidgin | 05:55 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: well, i wanted to give it a try since it's the default IM client with 10.10. | 05:55 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: but your comment is making me reconsider pidgin :) | 05:56 |
| juicy_ | ubuntu help | 05:56 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, i use pidgin have 7 messangers running at once all in one | 05:56 |
| juicy_ | #irc.freenode.net. | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | andresmh: default doesn't mean anything | 05:56 |
| andresmh | ActionParsnip: the problem with that approach is that it relies on having to use tabbed windows inside Empathy and then I need to switch to the right tab corresponding to the new message | 05:57 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: what do you mean with "7 messsengers"? | 05:57 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: 7 accounts on different IM networks? | 05:58 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, i have yahoo < 2 of them facebook myspace msn twitter etc | 05:58 |
| andresmh | hiexpo: I see. Does pidgin play well with the Indicator Applet? | 05:59 |
| hiexpo | yes | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | yes | 05:59 |

| ActionParsnip | andresmh: you can tell the client not to do that in prefs | 06:02 |
| andresmh | ActionParsnip: but does it still open the new window on the background? let me install Pidgin and test | 06:03 |
| sabrehagen | thanks ActionParsnip | 06:03 |
| hiexpo | andresmh, so of the services are harder than others to set up but they work great google each client you want to use in pidgin > etc so say you wanna you facebook google use facebook in pidgin etc | 06:03 |

| gaurav__ | ya that i have updated but still nothing seems works right | 06:15 |
| hiexpo | gaurav__, you may have to reboot in most cases | 06:16 |
| airtonix | andresmh, also my conversations with individual contacts in empathy are in separate windows. | 06:16 |

| hiexpo | gaurav__, what visual effects are you trying yo achieve > compiz ? | 06:20 |
| yahyai-0 | sorry !! i search all websites but without luck | 06:21 |
| andresmh | airtonix | 06:22 |
| ActionParsnip | yahyai-0: you could grab the deb for the boot splash, extract it in a folder and see what it contains to maybe find out how to edit it. | 06:22 |
| yahyai-0 | i will try it ,, thanks | 06:22 |
| airtonix | andresmh, it seems to me that using a hotkey to speed this process up would involve you being stuck with one contact ? | 06:22 |
| andresmh | airtonix: in pidgin, on 9.04, I set up a keyboard shortcut to open new messages, it would be the equivalent event of double clicking on the notification icon on the GNOME panel. It would just open the window | 06:23 |
| === kid__ is now known as kid__zZz | ||
| airtonix | andresmh, yes. but with which contact ? the one you used last ? | 06:23 |
| Tesssa | have a second 500gb HD ubuntu gnome recognises and i can store files ok it but xubuntu doesn't recognise it any ideas why that is | 06:23 |
| andresmh | airtonix: no, it would open the latest message from whatever contact it came from | 06:23 |
| andresmh | airtonix: each contact would have its own window. I would close it after answering and whenver a new message arrived, I would open it by pressing some keys. | 06:24 |
| andresmh | airtonix: it was beautifully efficient | 06:25 |

| smt | how do i manage to allow user www-data access to /dev/dvd | 06:39 |
| chilli0 | greezmunkey, I have wireshark. But no clue how to analyse the data... | 06:39 |
| slipp3d | I have a question about UID... I have a need to change the local UID to 500 for my user | 06:39 |
| slipp3d | what would be the easiest way to do that? | 06:39 |
| andresmh | slipp3d: it is kinda dangerous to change that but you can try by editing /etc/passwd | 06:40 |
| andresmh | sudo vi /etc/passwd | 06:40 |
| valentino7238408 | ciao a tutti | 06:40 |

| mod | (10.10) I have been unable to print graphics from the image viewer or gimp. I've tracked to down to apparently the new verison of libcairo2 being broken, but i've followed a few different sets of instructions on reverting to this older version and nothing is working | 06:43 |
| mod | anyone else dealt with this? | 06:43 |
| nemptor | hello anyone here who can help me with my pci tv tuner | 06:43 |
| hiexpo | welp night all | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nemptor: run: lspci and the chip will be identified, you can then websearch for guides based on the chip and the make / model of the card | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mod: is there a bug logged? | 06:44 |
| pksadiq | !bttv | nemptor | 06:44 |
| nemptor | is a saa7130 chip | 06:45 |
| pksadiq | nemptor: use sudo modprobe bttv | 06:45 |
| nemptor | ok w8 | 06:46 |
| nemptor | no bbtv found | 06:46 |
| greezmunkey | chilli0: facepalm well deserved :) | 06:46 |
| Exploiter | hey guys, going to run the gnome-shell --replace command, how will i be able to switch back to current gnome after going to gnome-shell ?? | 06:46 |

| nemptor | pksadiq: my tv tuner is a saa7134 chip i already searched and followed instructions in google but still having problems with it to work with tvtime | 06:47 |

| ActionParsnip | nemptor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=769435 looks like you need to make a file in /etc/modprobe.d (name it as you wish, just end the file with .conf) and add the modprobe options your card needs | 06:50 |
| Exploiter | dawm all noobs here | 06:50 |

| aknagi | Hi there. I'm running linux mint 9 which is built on Lucid. - I want to upgrade my libnotify packages to the Maverick Meerkat version to see if it fixes a problem I have. Should I compile from source, or is there a way to point aptitude at the correct repositories with /etc/apt/sources.list to just upgade the packages I need? | 06:52 |
| pksadiq | nemptor: xawtv , mythtv etc | 06:52 |
| nemptor | ok will install it first | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | aknagi: mint isnt supported here | 06:52 |
| aknagi | No one on mint knows, I hoped someone here would know. | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | aknagi: Mint is offtopic here | 06:54 |
| yahyai-0_ | hi | 06:56 |
| yahyai-0_ | hi | 06:56 |
| ljsoftnet | is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150? | 06:58 |
| n3rV3 | ljsoftnet, aren't the intel drivers already included? | 07:01 |
| linuxuz3r | i cant imagine ubuntu would be so quiet this time around | 07:01 |
| ljsoftnet | n3rv3 when i lspci it say N10 family integrated graphics controller | 07:02 |
| padhu | aknagi: just add ubuntu repo in resources and also gpg, then try it. I think Mint 10 will release soon | 07:03 |
| padhu | aknagi: if you are new to linux, then just wait for few days and stick with mint repo for safe | 07:05 |
| aknagi | Thanks padhu. | 07:07 |
| padhu | aknagi: yw :-) | 07:07 |
| aknagi | :) | 07:08 |
| sabrehagen | hi guys, how easy is it to have two different linux installs (e.g. arch and ubuntu) that access the same data partition. will there be issues with permission and owners when accessing the same data files from different installs? | 07:09 |
| tylerluigi | Hi i need help to update my bios in ubuntu so my netbook will reconize my new ram chip i am having troblws using ez-flash so is there any other way in linux | 07:09 |
| n3rV3 | ljsoftnet, i have no idea about that | 07:11 |
| tylerluigi | Hi i need help to update my bios in ubuntu so my netbook will reconize my new ram chip i am having troblws using ez-flash so is there any other way in linux | 07:11 |
| ljsoftnet | is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150? | 07:12 |
| padhu | sabrehagen: create one more partition with vfat file system and add it on /etc/fstab of both OS | 07:12 |
| sabrehagen | padhu: i'm not familiar with vfat. is it a derivative of fat or fat32? | 07:13 |
| aknagi | I have never heard of a bios upgrade fixing that problem, but consider using a pen drive running dos. All manufacturery provide a dos flash utility, but none to my knoweldge provide a linux util. | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ljsoftnet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1413295 | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tylerluigi: you can boot to dos and upgrade the BIOS using that | 07:14 |
| padhu | sabrehagen: Filesystem will not the consistency if both are linux. vfat16 or vfat32. | 07:15 |
| sabrehagen | padhu: is vfat accessable by windows? | 07:16 |
| tylerluigi | ActionParsnip, thats what i thought but how do you boot to dos | 07:17 |
| padhu | sabrehagen: what are the OSes you are using? | 07:17 |
| sabrehagen | padhu: basically windows 7 and archlinux and ubuntu 10.10 | 07:17 |
| ljsoftnet | ActionParsnip should i go for the ppa? | 07:18 |
| padhu | sabrehagen: great. What is the windows filesystem type? | 07:18 |
| padhu | sabrehagen: NTFS? | 07:18 |
| sabrehagen | padhu: yes, ntfs. | 07:19 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: Pen drive. mydigitallife has tutorials for every common bios. | 07:19 |
| padhu | then Ubuntu can handle it, but i am not sure about arhlinux. | 07:20 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, My netbook wont reconize my usb drives is ez flash my bios sees them but not ez flash but i want to know how to do it in dos ActionParsnip | 07:20 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: If you're image wont flash with EZ flash, it probably won't flash in DOS. Double check every letter of your motherboard model to ensure you have the right image. | 07:21 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, ive tripled check my ez flash doesne tsee my usb drive not the rom | 07:22 |
| padhu | tylerluigi: what is the result of sudo fdisk -l | 07:22 |
| Prabz | hi, how to set up a system wide proxy for my ubuntu maverick? | 07:23 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: Ah, I see. My Digital Life has tutorials on creating DOS bootable USBs for every common bios, but I would try different pen drives / usb slots first. | 07:24 |
| === elky is now known as elkybirthday | ||
| aknagi | tylerluigi: Also ensure your pen drive is not formatted to ext2. | 07:25 |

| huaziliang | 有没有说中文的 | 07:27 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: OK - consider makeing a bootable DOS pen using the info at My Digital Life. Also , tru and learn how to not overwritethe bootblock. If you can lay your hands on a usb floppy, that migh come in handy. | 07:28 |
| CkhiKuzad | !jp | huaziliang | 07:28 |

| ubottu | huaziliang: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 07:28 |
| CkhiKuzad | I hope that was the right language. | 07:28 |
| yahyai-0 | is this working (((# string /lib/plymouth/ubuntu-text.so | tee ubuntu-text.txt then change ubuntu name to distro name , and save it with .so extension))) to edit ubuntu-plymouth-text?????? | 07:28 |
| lea123 | Hello I am newbie to Linux I think I got waylaid since I'd been to the Ubuntu download page to download Ubuntu. What I found is that I have downloaded the 10.10 version and apparently it doesn't seem to be a stable version. What are my options now ? | 07:29 |
| betts | does anyone use bt4? | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | CkhiKuzad: No, it was chinese. Google translate can tell you fairly reliably :) | 07:29 |
| CkhiKuzad | Jordan_U, ah, my mistake ^^;; | 07:29 |
| lea123 | I hope someone can share their experience with me. | 07:29 |
| betts | what is the topic | 07:29 |
| CkhiKuzad | lea123, I would recommend getting Ubuntu 10.04 | 07:29 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| tylerluigi | aknagi, so do i then make a dos usb and put the bupdater from asus in the usb | 07:29 |
| betts | what experience? | 07:30 |
| lea123 | BTW I would like to to the most stable release of Ubuntu ? | 07:30 |
| CkhiKuzad | it's a long term support, so you wont have to upgrade the desktop version for a few years | 07:30 |
| tylerluigi | betts, ive used it befor | 07:30 |
| lea123 | I meant know | 07:30 |
| AbhiJit | !lts | lea123 | 07:30 |
| ubottu | lea123: 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) | 07:30 |
| AbhiJit | !lucid | lea123 | 07:30 |
| ubottu | lea123: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | 07:30 |
| CkhiKuzad | so lea123 10.04 is the most stable one for now. | 07:30 |
| betts | it does not display chinese properly | 07:30 |
| betts | i need help | 07:30 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: Yes - you will need to get a dos image and use the 'dd' command to write it to your pen drive. | 07:31 |
| betts | how many space it need to install | 07:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | betts, this is the ubuntu support channel, not the backtrack one. | 07:31 |
| betts | i am sorry | 07:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | try #backtrack or #bt4 or even #backtrack4 | 07:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | its alright. | 07:31 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi whats a dd command cant i just use isk utility | 07:31 |
| betts | ok, lets talk about ubuntu | 07:32 |
| bazhang | betts, #backtrack-linux | 07:32 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, disk* | 07:32 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: You will probably then 'mount' it and use 'cp' to copy over the bios image and bpudater. | 07:32 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: You need to use dd to ensure the boot code gets copied. | 07:32 |
| betts | 3ku | 07:32 |
| padhu | tylerluigi: isk utility? | 07:32 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, cant i just drag it on | 07:32 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: no | 07:33 |
| betts | bazhang | 07:33 |
| tylerluigi | padhi disk utility ro format usb | 07:33 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, why | 07:33 |
| carutsu_ | hello, I'm sshing into a machine, after log in I can use X.org applications just fine, but then I have to chroot into something, after that I no longer can use X applications (they can't connect to X), any clues on how to solve this? | 07:33 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: You need to use dd to ensure the boot code gets copied. | 07:33 |
| padhu | tylerluigi: dd command is best and easy | 07:33 |
| carutsu_ | (tried using xhost +machinename-from-which-i'm-sshing) | 07:34 |
| tylerluigi | padnagi aknagi so is there i guide you guys can give me to do this | 07:34 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: Ah, I see. My Digital Life has tutorials on creating DOS bootable USBs for every common bios... | 07:34 |
| lea123_ | Thank you everyone how I believe this information has to be on the download page | 07:34 |
| fresh_user | Hello, can some 1 help me with 1 DHCP problem? | 07:34 |
| padhu | carutsu_: try ssh -X | 07:34 |
| Diehard | fresh_user: dont ask to ask pls | 07:35 |
| CkhiKuzad | fresh_user, dont ask to ask, but i might be able to help. | 07:35 |
| Prabz | AbhiJit: I'm set the proxy in Preferences>network Proxy, still i'm not able to authenticate packages using apt-key | 07:35 |
| carutsu_ | padhu: tried, as I said before the chrooting I can use X apps | 07:35 |
| carutsu_ | padhu: tried Y too | 07:35 |
| betts | how to fast ubuntu while surffing on net | 07:35 |
| AbhiJit | Prabz, dunno | 07:35 |
| bazhang | betts, you are using backtrack | 07:35 |
| pksadiq | betts: do you have a very slow internet? | 07:36 |
| fresh_user | Can I make 2 different subnets in 1 dhcp.conf ( 1 for unknown and 1 for known MAC addresses )? | 07:36 |
| === lea123_ is now known as lea123 | ||
| CkhiKuzad | and i believe he might be trolling now, with how he switched his grammar skills, bazhang | 07:36 |
| xcited | how easy would it be to get the Ubuntu server to act like a NAS? Like FreeNAS? | 07:36 |
| betts | not , it does not work properly | 07:36 |
| xcited | Basically serve cifs. | 07:36 |
| Prabz | hi, I'm not able to authenticate packages using apt-key. I know it's a proxy issue, any idea how to configure apt-key to use a custom proxy? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | betts, this is not the proper support channel for you | 07:36 |
| betts | yes , it is like a woniu | 07:36 |
| bazhang | betts, #backtrack-linux | 07:36 |
| fresh_user | some 1 for my dhcp question? =) | 07:37 |
| aknagi | fresh_user: It is usual to have 1 DHCP server for 1 subnet, unless you use a dhcp relay agent. | 07:37 |
| yahyai-0 | <Prabz> add setting to /etc/apt/apt.conf and also on synaptic | 07:37 |
| padhu | carutsu_:then try with ssh tunnel with dedicated port number | 07:37 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, padhu im having a hard time finding a guide could one of you give me a link | 07:38 |
| betts | 3ku | 07:38 |
| carutsu_ | padhu: can you please elaborate? | 07:38 |
| aemaeth | xcited, the wiki says it uses samba for cifs, so probably as easy as setting up samba, or whatever method you're using for transfer | 07:38 |
| fresh_user | aknagi: so if i wana to use uknown and known MACs, I must use 1 subnet ( example: range IP 1-100 and 100-200 )? | 07:39 |
| lea123 | Thank you everyone how I believe this information has to be on the download page ? | 07:39 |
| lea123 | Thank you everyone how I believe this information has to be on the download page ? | 07:39 |

| AbhiJit | lea123, wait | 07:41 |
| aknagi | betts: It's not a trick message. | 07:41 |
| pksadiq | !amd64 | 07:41 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 07:41 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, 1st see if u have 64 bit cpu http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-how-to-find-if-processor-is-64-bit-or-not/ | 07:41 |

| tylerluigi | aknagi, so im having problem on what i need to use to flash my bios useing dos plz help | 07:41 |
| lea123 | ABhiJit : I have don't Linux installed as of now and the page you recommended has Linux commands I suppose | 07:43 |
| meway | hello I have a process that wont close | 07:43 |
| meway | or force quit | 07:43 |
| meway | when I do killall | 07:43 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, you can run the comand from ubuntu live cd | 07:43 |
| tylerluigi | can anyone help me to flash my bios useing dos | 07:43 |
| CkhiKuzad | meway, you can do killall into a terminal, if that's what you're asking | 07:43 |
| meway | sorry for hitting enter so many times lol I have ubuntu 9.10 and I can't end this process | 07:43 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, anyway now your option is to go to maufacture site & chech | 07:43 |
| CkhiKuzad | it's better to use top or htop to view the processes, and kill it based on its pid | 07:44 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, no the problem is that thats not work | 07:44 |
| lea123 | AbhiJIT My question is what Ubuntu OS I need to download ? | 07:44 |
| CkhiKuzad | meway, what process are you trying to kill? | 07:44 |
| lea123 | I know it might work from a Live CD ,, | 07:44 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, no | 07:44 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, mhm? explain me how to use? | 07:44 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, mana < stupid game client | 07:44 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, you asked if you should download 64 bit os or not | 07:44 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, mana has much issues with fps limiter I think | 07:45 |
| CkhiKuzad | well meway, open a terminal and type top | 07:45 |
| AbhiJit | <lea123> If I have AMD Turion processor should I download the 64 bit version? | 07:45 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, what am I looking at? | 07:45 |
| CkhiKuzad | you should see something that has mana in its name, when you do, remember its PID | 07:45 |
| CkhiKuzad | look in the COMMAND column | 07:45 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: If you are new to Linux, consider useing one of the tutorials at My Digital Life from a Windows box. I can't find a tutorial for Linux, but the rough steps are outlined in my previous replys. 1) Get DOS bootable image 2) dd to pen drive 3) Mount pen drive 4) copy dos bios update util and bios image 5) set usb to bootable in bios 6) reboot to dos from pen drive 7) flash, having learnt what "not overwriting bootbl | 07:46 |
| aknagi | ock" means. | 07:46 |
| CkhiKuzad | one should say mana, remember it's PID, like i said. | 07:46 |
| fresh_user | aknagi: so if i wana to use uknown and known MACs, I must use 1 subnet ( example: range IP 1-100 and 100-200 )? | 07:46 |
| triple-08 | aku mau mgechat | 07:46 |
| CkhiKuzad | once you are sure you remembered it exactly, hold control and press C. | 07:46 |
| meway | ok | 07:46 |
| meway | and than? | 07:46 |
| triple-08 | ngechat pake warna apa ya?..... | 07:47 |
| CkhiKuzad | then when you are back in your normal shell, type kill [the PID from mana] | 07:47 |
| CkhiKuzad | dont use the brackets though | 07:47 |

| AbhiJit | anvo, what happpen? | 07:47 |
| CkhiKuzad | meway, it should have worked, did it work? | 07:47 |
| tylerluigi | aknagi, you mean do this in a virtual windows box | 07:48 |
| anvo | Abhijeet_, well, the webcam works with cheese and Ekiga, but not with Skype! | 07:48 |
| triple-08 | warna buntung itu tetangga saya | 07:48 |
| meway | no | 07:48 |
| AbhiJit | :/ | 07:48 |
| aknagi | fresh_user: Yes - I believe so (unless you use a relay agent). The reason is because DHCP negotiations happen with Layer 2 broadcast messages, with care not routed across subnets/ | 07:48 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, it did not | 07:48 |
| anvo | Actually, the webcam works under "test" in Skype... | 07:48 |
| CkhiKuzad | hmm, odd. alright meway, you need htop. | 07:48 |

| aknagi | tylerluigi: That's a good idea. I meant any windows machine though. | 07:49 |
| pksadiq | anvo: k | 07:49 |

| meway | CkhiKuzad, installing | 07:49 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, in normal case you for 32 bit os. but you can go for 64 bit os only if you have 64 bit cpu. and to check if your cpu is 64 bit i told you the spteps. if dont want to folow them just for for regular 32 bit os. | 07:50 |
| anvo | Also, the webcam is shown in the output of "lsusb". | 07:50 |
| pksadiq | anvo: try LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype in terminal | 07:50 |
| meway | ok im in htop | 07:50 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, | 07:50 |
| aknagi | tylerluigi: Great. That'll do. | 07:50 |
| anvo | I tried that, too, pksadiq! | 07:50 |
| CkhiKuzad | alright, hit F3, meway | 07:50 |
| anvo | Didn't work! | 07:50 |
| lea123 | AbhiJIT I don;t have Linux live CD as yet and the commands are in Linux ... | 07:51 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, this panel is pretty self explanitory | 07:51 |
| Prabz | hi, I'm not able to authenticate packages using apt-key. I know it's a proxy issue, any idea how to configure apt-key to use a custom proxy? which conf file do I need to add the proxy to? | 07:51 |
| AbhiJit | anvo, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams | 07:51 |
| meway | explanatory * | 07:51 |
| anvo | Abhijeet_, I'll check! | 07:51 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, thanks much :) | 07:51 |
| AbhiJit | lea123, go for 32 bit os | 07:51 |
| CkhiKuzad | alright, but another thing i have found useful meway | 07:51 |
| pksadiq | anvo: what does ls -a /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1* show? | 07:51 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, ok htop not working | 07:52 |
| meway | and mana is eating 93 cpu WTF | 07:52 |
| CkhiKuzad | alright meway, when you hit F9, press 9 after hitting it, then hit enter. | 07:52 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, woot thanks :D | 07:53 |
| anvo | pksadiq, just a sec | 07:53 |
| rigved | hi everyone | 07:53 |
| AbhiJit | hello rigel | 07:53 |
| AbhiJit | hi rigved | 07:53 |
| anvo | pksadiq, no such file or directory | 07:54 |
| CkhiKuzad | no problem n.n my knowledge of basic terminal programs and how to kill an unruly program is very useful to some people | 07:54 |
| rigved | empathy on ubuntu allows to connect to IRC. why does empathy on debian lenny not have this option? | 07:54 |
| AbhiJit | rigved, #debian | 07:54 |
| meway | CkhiKuzad, indeed | 07:54 |
| pksadiq | anvo: that means there is no such file ! | 07:54 |
| anvo | pksadiq, sorry, i misstyped | 07:54 |
| pksadiq | anvo: k | 07:54 |
| AbhiJit | anvo, do not type. copy paste | 07:54 |
| anvo | it says vl41compat.so | 07:54 |
| rigved | AbhiJit: i have asked on #debian. Still no reply | 07:55 |
| CkhiKuzad | rigved, #debian's a lot slower of a channel. | 07:55 |
| rigved | AbhiJit: i have ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and debian lenny on my laptop | 07:55 |
| AbhiJit | rigved, this channel is for ubuntu only | 07:55 |
| AbhiJit | rigved, try their forums mailing list etc. | 07:55 |
| CkhiKuzad | rigved, if IRC channels were movies, #Ubuntu would be a parody action movie with thousands of explosions, and #debian would be a decent movie with very few explosions, just a lot of people not talking until someone gets back and checks for new questions. | 07:56 |
| anvo | Needless to say, I have this webcam working fine until recently... I haven't used it though for some months, until yesterday when I discovered it won't work with skype... | 07:56 |
| rigved | CkhiKuzad: yes i know | 07:56 |
| rigved | AbhiJit: i will try that | 07:57 |
| * CkhiKuzad is done typing for a bit. | 07:57 | |
| AbhiJit | CkhiKuzad, lol mg :D :D | 07:57 |
| anvo | And it is in the list of wecams in the ubuntu's wiki.. | 07:57 |
| anvo | Working webcams, I mean... | 07:57 |
| AbhiJit | anvo, is it in the 'just work's list? | 07:57 |
| pksadiq | anvo: does the test in skype works? | 07:58 |
| anvo | Abhijeet, no, "Fiddle to get working"... | 07:58 |
| AbhiJit | anvo, then do the fiddling!!! :P | 07:59 |
| WhiteStarEOF | Got a head-scratcher here. I'm trying to get tftpd-hpa running as seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer here and in other places. The instructions seem to be the same, but it doesn't seem to work. It starts without issue, just trying to tftp anything times out. Nothing in the messages file. I even tried throwing gibberish in to /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, and it never complained on startup. Thoughts and opinions? | 07:59 |
| has564 | hi everyone | 07:59 |
| CkhiKuzad | 'ello has564 | 07:59 |

| CkhiKuzad | Dont ask to ask. | 08:00 |
| phasma | heh | 08:00 |
| anvo | The people of easycam2 stopped working with it, aren't they...? | 08:00 |
| nedhead | With Ubuntu Server 10.10 x86, when I connect (SFTP) it restricts me to my home directory. Where do I need to look to authorize me full control over /var/www? Thanks! | 08:00 |
| AbhiJit | nedhead, #ubuntu-server | 08:00 |
| pksadiq | anvo: does it works with cheese, vlc etc? | 08:00 |
| nedhead | Thanks! | 08:01 |
| CkhiKuzad | sorry, I cant help that much has564 i need to take a desk-nap. | 08:01 |
| anvo | pksadiq, yes | 08:01 |
| pksadiq | anvo: does the "test" in skype options makes the camera work? | 08:01 |
| WhiteStarEOF | Oooohhh ubuntu-server chat. My boggle probably fits better there. | 08:01 |
| anvo | pksadiq, yes it does! | 08:01 |
| * CkhiKuzad is away: desk-nap | 08:02 | |
| pksadiq | anvo: have you checked the " Enable Skype Video"? | 08:02 |
| anvo | pksadiq, sure thing...! | 08:02 |
| Superman_ | how can i install ubuntu with my windows installation | 08:02 |
| xorwhy | My battery life is much better in 10.10. Anyone know why? | 08:02 |
| anvo | Is anybody available to webcam chat with me to test my cam under skype? | 08:03 |
| CkhiKuzad | Superman_, you can use Wubi if you want to just test it? | 08:03 |
| pksadiq | anvo: if still it doesn't works, you will have to open camera in cheese, and share the your screen in skype, no any other ideas as far as I know | 08:03 |
| CkhiKuzad | or if you want, you can burn/buy/shipit an Ubuntu LiveCD for testing, or installing | 08:03 |
| pksadiq | anvo: your skype name? | 08:04 |
| anvo | pksadiq, "share my screen with skype"? | 08:04 |
| Superman_ | what is wubi install | 08:04 |
| anvo | pksadiq, "fragos.george". | 08:04 |
| Superman_ | and how one can install it | 08:04 |
| CkhiKuzad | !wubi | Superman_ | 08:04 |

| madhan | hi | 08:05 |
| CkhiKuzad | Hello madhan | 08:05 |
| Superman_ | and how much disk space it requires or if it can make system slower | 08:05 |
| madhan | hi ckhikuzad how are you? | 08:05 |
| kismet | hi my sudo apt-get update gives me ERR: Failed too fetch http://.... | 08:05 |
| CkhiKuzad | it takes about 5 gigabytes fully installed Superman_, and it wont slow it down. | 08:06 |
| has564 | I keep getting disconnected.. | 08:06 |
| has564 | ahh | 08:06 |
| anvo | I've tried to install "gspca" and the "ov51x-jpeg" drivers, too, with no effect! | 08:06 |
| has564 | im stuck on grub> screen after updating to ubuntu 10.10 | 08:06 |
| xorwhy | CkhiKuzad: Are you saying fully installed ubuntu takes that much space? | 08:06 |
| Superman_ | I have a very early version of ubuntu. can i use that cd to have wubi installation | 08:06 |
| Superman_ | ? | 08:06 |
| CkhiKuzad | Superman_, how early? | 08:07 |
| Superman_ | about 2 years | 08:07 |
| CkhiKuzad | and xorwhy It is a full fledged OS, like Mac or Windows. both of those OSes take space in the gigabyte ranges | 08:07 |
| xorwhy | CkhiKuzad: I have my ubuntu install down to 1.8GB | 08:07 |
| CkhiKuzad | and Superman_ two years ago or two years from when it came out? | 08:07 |
| Superman_ | two years ago | 08:08 |
| xorwhy | CkhiKuzad: I removed stuff and also found that the space required for ext4 increasees as the partition size increases, so i decreased that. It's rather snappy now. | 08:08 |
| CkhiKuzad | interesting xorwhy | 08:08 |
| has564_ | this is getting really annoying.. | 08:09 |
| has564_ | i keep disconnecting | 08:09 |
| has564_ | how do i get off this grub> screen | 08:09 |
| has564_ | after updating it is stuck on it | 08:09 |
| has564_ | anyone know why? | 08:10 |

| has564_ | bud i would do that | 08:11 |
| has564_ | however the problem is | 08:11 |
| has564_ | i got some files on my netbook | 08:12 |
| has564_ | that i didnt back up | 08:12 |

| orl | Hello! | 08:12 |
| orl | Could someone give me the channel for Ubuntu with Mac Intel | 08:12 |
| Gnea | !mac | 08:12 |
| has564_ | so I need to get those files. Thats why im asking if anyone can help me in resolving this problem | 08:12 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 08:12 |
| orl | I just can't get the system booting. | 08:12 |
| has564_ | it was working perfectly | 08:12 |
| has564_ | on ubuntu 10.04 | 08:12 |
| has564_ | but updating to 10.10 | 08:13 |
| has564_ | it boots into grub | 08:13 |
| psycho_oreos | !enter | has564_ | 08:13 |
| Gnea | 10.10 isn't the stable release that 10.04 is | 08:13 |
| ubottu | has564_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:13 |
| xorwhy | lol @ !enter, that's new. I like it. | 08:13 |
| has564_ | lol my bad | 08:13 |
| orl | has564: I've been reading this through and through | 08:14 |
| tango | i think maybe there is someway to fix the grub | 08:14 |
| has564_ | im just panicking right now. | 08:14 |
| phasma | what is the matter with your grub? | 08:14 |
| Gnea | orl: have you read the URL that ubottu mentioned? | 08:14 |
| gorgonzola | has564_ you end up with a grub console, or you are stuck in the grub menu? | 08:14 |
| orl | Gnea: yes | 08:14 |
| orl | Gnea: I've been reading this through and through | 08:14 |
| psycho_oreos | has564_, the only reason why you're getting grub prompt or `grub> ' is because the grub config file is missing, under 9.10 and above you will be using grub2 which I believe is grub.cfg that is missing | 08:15 |
| Gnea | orl: k, so you've determined that 10.04 will, indeed, work on your mac? | 08:15 |
| orl | Gnea: yes. | 08:15 |
| orl | It's a quite old MacTel. | 08:15 |
| Gnea | orl: alright, and you've checked the support forums? | 08:16 |
| phasma | a broken grub? Ouch. Best bet would to be boot into a livecd that uses grub2, chroot and run an os-detect and install-grub | 08:16 |
| orl | Gnea: several times, but didn't post anything myself. | 08:16 |
| phasma | unless you wanna play with fixing it manually, heh | 08:16 |
| orl | Gnea: actually, there are two things weird: 1. I cannot set /dev/sda5 (/) as bootable in gparted. 2. I remember about something like EFI needs the partition to be one of the four first to be bootable, am I wrong? | 08:16 |
| Gnea | orl: okay, I suggest this then: make a post there, be as detailed as you can possibly get, then once you've done that, post the URL here | 08:16 |
| orl | Gnea: OK, yes. | 08:17 |
| has564 | Anyone, can u boot ubuntu from grub>? | 08:17 |
| has564 | wait what exactly is grub>? | 08:17 |
| Gnea | orl: I don't own a mac and haven't done this, so I can't say for sure. | 08:17 |
| phasma | grub is the GRand Unified Bootloader. It loads your operating systems | 08:17 |
| Gnea | orl: there are some mac people around, but they might be asleep at the moment | 08:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub | 08:17 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 08:17 |
| gorgonzola | has564 grub is the bootloader. if you end up with the grub console instead of the menu, it means there is a problem in your grub configuration. don't panic, you have not lost any idata | 08:18 |
| psycho_oreos | yes but its not easy.. its grub prompt which is a little similar to bash shell but its only for locating disks and appropriate kernel, etc for booting | 08:18 |
| gorgonzola | has564 and fixing grub is tedious, but not too complicated. | 08:18 |
| has564 | okay then what does it mean when i select ubuntu netbook when my netbook boots up it goes into this grub screen | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Grub is worth learning about. - its a handy tool. and can do some amazing things. | 08:18 |
| has564 | Can I boot ubuntu from this? | 08:18 |
| phasma | yes | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | has564: you proberly want to boot a live cd,. and follow the guides given to 'reinstall grub' | 08:18 |
| has564 | i dont have a live CD | 08:19 |
| has564 | I used wubi | 08:19 |
| orl | Gnea: OK, thanks. I thought there were a specific Mac Ubuntu channel (remember to have using it several years ago, but it was perhaps Debian's one) | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | has564: wubi? well - No idea on that then. I definaltly do NOT recommend Wubi. I just see to many people with Too many issues with Wubi. | 08:19 |
| gorgonzola | has564 check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB 2 | 08:19 |
| Gnea | orl: you might have been thinking about the #debian-ppc channel, back when macs used PowerPC | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | I would be very Happy if Wubi was removed as an option... I just see to many people use it.. then have issues. | 08:20 |
| has564 | wubi worked fine for me | 08:20 |
| has564 | on ubuntu 10.04 | 08:20 |
| * Gnea looks oddly at Dr_Willis | 08:20 | |
| has564 | but after using the update manager, to update to 10,10, i ran into this grub screen | 08:20 |
| gorgonzola | has564 sorry, never used wubi, so i have no idea how it handles grub and partitioning... | 08:21 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: I object! | 08:21 |
| phasma | wubi is an awesome tool. Granted, I prefer a clean install, but in the right circumstances, it can be awesome | 08:21 |
| psycho_oreos | I stopped supporting people using wubi, far too many complications and its far, far more ideal if one went with the old style of linux instal/setup.. to dual/multiboot as opposed to something like wubi | 08:21 |
| Gnea | wubi works fine, but when it gets messed up, it isn't easy to fix, but it's not impossible | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | phasma: and it can slam into a brick wall :) | 08:21 |
| psycho_oreos | s/instal/install/ | 08:21 |
| gorgonzola | wubi is a technical wonder, but from the user's point of view, a clean install is preferable in 99% of the cases. | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: yep. thats the big issue. THings are always great with anything - untill you have a problem. | 08:21 |
| * Gnea has been using wubi on this netbook for quite awhile now | 08:22 | |
| phasma | Dr_Willis: I agree, but at the same time feel it has accomplished a lot | 08:22 |
| has564 | To be honest I didnt run into this problem using wubi. I ran into it after updating to 10.10 | 08:22 |
| === alex_ is now known as alex_under12 | ||
| has564 | i used update package manager | 08:22 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: I had a problem a few weeks ago, managed to get it fixed in a couple days. it was windows fault. | 08:22 |
| psycho_oreos | maybe those who are in favour of continuing to use wubi should assist has564 :) | 08:22 |
| gorgonzola | has564, so, you upgraded to 10.10 from a wubi installation? | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | I toyed with these variants that ran Ubuntu In a virtual machine in windows. and made the ubuntu apps appear on the windows desktop. :) that was a neat trick also. but it all depends on your needs. | 08:22 |
| === alex_under12 is now known as alex_under | ||
| has564 | no I did not, I used the package manager in ubuntu 10.04 | 08:23 |
| Gnea | but yeah, when I can, I'll be changing it to a native install for dualboot | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: most people wont blame windows. they will blame Ubuntu. | 08:23 |
| Gnea | I just don't have the time right now | 08:23 |
| tango | has564 after you have fixed things suggest you look at Backintime to backup your home directory to a second drive | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | I did see some guides on converting a Wubi to a Normal Install. | 08:23 |
| gorgonzola | has564 then how does wubi come into the picture? | 08:23 |
| orl | Gnea: that's true, I was installing both MacIntel and PowerMac by that time. | 08:23 |
| has564 | someone mentioned using live CD. I said I used wubi to originally install ubuntu 10.04 | 08:23 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: NTFS went screwy at some point, likely due to a problem with read/write across the fuse block. since microsoft refuses to release the spec on ntfs, it's windows fault. | 08:24 |
| psycho_oreos | Dr_Willis, that's the typical attitude of windows users :) they always find something to blame.. and when they see wubi as an option instead of dualboot/multiboot, they'll use that until it breaks then they wonder why :) | 08:24 |
| has564 | someone mentioned using live CD to fix my problem | 08:24 |
| gorgonzola | has564: the easiest way to fix grub is what a live cd. | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | So much of programing and system design is 'planing on failure' | 08:24 |
| Gnea | yes | 08:24 |
| phasma | has564: yes, I did. It will be the easiest way to fix this | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even know where to begin to fix a grub issue with a wubi setip. | 08:24 |
| has564 | wait so if I select "Ubuntu Netbook" from startup, and it runs into this grub> screen, it means my grub is broken? | 08:24 |
| gorgonzola | has564 the alternative means using the grub console to find out where your drives are, and telling it to install itself into the correct boot | 08:24 |
| Gnea | and knowing how to recover from failure can be quite a chore, but once you get used to it, it's not so much of a big deal anymore | 08:25 |
| gorgonzola | where are you selecting ubuntu netbook? | 08:25 |
| has564 | right when my netbook boots up | 08:25 |
| phasma | Dr_Willis: Although complicated, livecd, mount /boot and chroot into it then run os-detect and install-grub will fix it | 08:25 |
| has564 | i get Windows 7 and Ubuntu netbook gorgonzola | 08:25 |
| gorgonzola | has564, well that's grub, isnt't it? | 08:25 |
| mosty | is there a standard way to prevent update-grub from being run? | 08:25 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: easy - look in the directory where the files are kept in the windows system. most of the time, you won't be able to see all that's there. | 08:25 |
| Gnea | that's when you have to reboot to fsck the drive properly | 08:26 |
| has564 | gorgonzola I have no idea, but when I select ubuntu netbook it goes into this GNU GRUB version 1.98 screen | 08:26 |
| === DJones is now known as DJones_HD | ||
| gorgonzola | has564: is this the menu whete you slect ubuntu netbook? http://tipsfromgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/GRUB.jpg | 08:26 |
| Gnea | once that's done, you can find it in the recovery folder in c:\, move the files back over, re-init grub a few times, and it'll work | 08:26 |
| phasma | has564: That is what -should- happen | 08:26 |
| === DJones_HD is now known as DJones | ||
| has564 | gorgonzola no, thats not theo ne | 08:27 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: like I said, it's a pain, but not impossible | 08:27 |
| has564 | gorgonzola its the one before it | 08:27 |
| Varazir | Hello, I have 2 users, on I use for XBMC ( turned off pulseadio ) is there a way I can make that user allway's start xbmc in full screen ? | 08:27 |
| gorgonzola | has564 oh. so you select ubuntu netbook and land on that menu? | 08:27 |
| Varazir | when I switch to that user | 08:27 |
| phasma | has564: Maybe a redundant question, but you have waited for grub to load automatically, right? It should do it after ten seconds | 08:27 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: not to mention, there are some ubuntuforum posts regarding it, so plenty of information is out there for it | 08:27 |
| has564 | gorgonzola yes | 08:28 |

| raven_ | "Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." any ideas?? | 08:28 |
| phasma | raven_: lspci|grep eth0 - does that show anything? | 08:28 |
| has564 | gorgonzola any idea why its doing that? | 08:29 |
| gorgonzola | has564: ok. i'm assuming that what you are doing is that you are selecting ubuntu netbook from the windows bootloader, and then land on the grub menu. | 08:29 |
| cnf | is there a way to make the notifications clickable? | 08:29 |
| raven_ | phasma no but ifconfig shows eth0 | 08:29 |
| === CkhiKuzad is now known as CkhiKuzadAFKNapt | ||
| has564 | gorgonzola yes I select Ubuntu Netbook, and then land on the grub> screen with a blinking cursor | 08:29 |
| === CkhiKuzadAFKNapt is now known as CkhiKuzadAFK-Nap | ||
| phasma | raven_: lspci|grep Ethernet? | 08:30 |
| gorgonzola | has564: normally, you would use grub as boot loader. ie, you turn on the pc, and the bios handles control to grub, who in turn shows the menu i showed you. there you select the system that you want to boot, and then the system boots. i'm trying to determine where is the problem that you have. | 08:30 |
| phasma | raven_: sorry, still waking up, heh | 08:30 |
| cnf | having them disappear on hover is quite anoying | 08:30 |
| gorgonzola | has564, yes, i understand that. what i don;t understand is whether you are selecting ubuntu netbook *in* the grub menu, or somewhere else. | 08:31 |
| gorgonzola | has564 if it's in another bootloader, it sounds like your problem is that the grub menu is not properly configured, hence it does not work. | 08:31 |
| has564 | gorgonzola okay I will tell you exactly what happens. I start my netbook, it goes into this screen with a title called "Windows Boot Manager" where I have two OSes. 'Windows 7' and 'Ubuntu Netbook' | 08:32 |
| raven_ | phasma, yes it shows the controller | 08:32 |
| gorgonzola | has564 ok. and then? | 08:32 |
| has564 | gorgonzola when I select Ubuntu Netbook, it goes into that GNU GRUB screen, however all I see there is grub> with a blinking cursor | 08:32 |
| has564 | gorgonzola before I updated to 10.10, I would see a menue similar to the one u showed me | 08:33 |
| gorgonzola | has564: ok, your grub configuration is fubared. | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | I wish the Ubuntu Installer had an Option to 'make a rescue grub flash drive' - I made one for my Pc's and its SO handy at times. | 08:33 |
| has564 | gorgonzola okay. And that means... | 08:33 |
| gorgonzola | has564 as someone else mentioned here, it is probably because of the change from grub to grub2, and the fact that you are using the windows bootloader. | 08:33 |
| gorgonzola | has564 that means that you need to fix it. you have two options. | 08:34 |
| has564 | gorgonzola well is there a fix? Atleast to recover my files? | 08:34 |
| gorgonzola | has564 the easiest one, is to get a live cd and fix it from there. | 08:34 |
| phasma | raven_: sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 08:34 |
| gorgonzola | has564: your files are ok, don;t worry about that. | 08:34 |
| phasma | raven_: Does that bring it up? | 08:34 |
| has564 | gorgonzola hmm a live CD,,,what is the other option | 08:35 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: that's a pretty good idea... | 08:35 |
| gorgonzola | has564 the other option, is to fix it from within grub. that is not so easy... but since you are using the windows bootloader, it's probably better. | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: yea.. whats funny is . for my usb-flash recovery.. i sort of made it by accident. :) i did a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and saw it had options for the HD's and for the flash drive. So i put it on all 3 :) | 08:36 |
| gorgonzola | has564: now, above all, don't panic! your files should be happily stord in that hard drive... it's just that grub doesn't know where the kernel is... nothing should have been deleted. | 08:36 |
| zetheroo1 | I have something I want to do but I am not too sure it's possible without hours and hours of work involved ... :) ... In short I want to share TV coming into one computer onto the local network! wdyt? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | has564: basically in the grub 'terminal' you would ahve to enter the proper commands that are normally in the grub menu/config to boot the proper entry. Figuring out those commands is the harder part. | 08:36 |
| has564 | gorgonzola okay that is good news to me. How do I fix this grub? | 08:36 |
| cnf | ok, if that doesn't work, can i just replace notifyOSD with something that does work sanely? | 08:37 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: awesome :) | 08:37 |
| has564 | Dr_Willis hmm, but its not really a dead end though right..? | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | has564: you Could boot a live cd. I think and access the files from your 'wubi' install with a few commands also.. You May want to backup them up to some other location. | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | has564: not really a dead end. You lost the 'key' to the house.. but theres other ways in. :) and the stuff in the closet is still there... | 08:38 |
| raven | phasma, ? | 08:38 |
| Le-Saint | Hello | 08:38 |
| has564 | Dr_Willis that explained very nicely. So the house hasnt been burned down I see. | 08:38 |
| Le-Saint | Someone please tell me why can't I send messages in the Linux-fr chanel ?? | 08:38 |
| phasma | raven: sudo ifconfig eth0 up - does that work? | 08:38 |
| Gnea | has564: have you checked the windows fs to make sure the disk files are in place? | 08:38 |
| raven | phasma, oh yes it works | 08:38 |
| has564 | Gnea have I what...? | 08:38 |
| raven | but what was that? | 08:38 |
| llutz_ | Dr_Willis: there's super-grub disk as a more universal tool (can be used from flash-drive too) | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | has564: theres some mention of this issue in the forums it seems.. (i just googled for it) --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9932369&postcount=5 | 08:39 |

| Dr_Willis | Tuplad: sdf is the whold drive.. sdf1 is a filesystem. You proberly never want to fsck sdf :) | 09:06 |

| shuvam | no no i want to know how to use it because i dont know any command | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | shuvam: 'sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME' is to install stuff.. | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | shuvam: apt-cache search PATTERN to look for speciic programs/tools/patterns | 09:18 |
| Waffle | how do i load the modules | 09:18 |
| pksadiq | shuvam: let me private chat? ;) | 09:18 |
| shuvam | plz tell me some site or something by which i can learn how to use the terminal | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Waffle: sudo modprobe modulename but what module.. depends on your video card. | 09:19 |

| shuvam | thanks bro..... | 09:19 |
| Waffle | Dr_Willis, what modules do i need? | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Waffle: You may have to read up on the Framebuffer site given above. I tend to disable the framebuffer. and any boot time eyecandy. | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive no idea what moduiles are needed for the various cards. | 09:20 |
| shuvam | plz tell me something more about using the ubuntu.....coz have used only XP | 09:20 |
| Waffle | framebuffer site? | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Waffle: the older splashy docs all mention configuring the framebuffer.. but they also are for the older GRUB.. that syntax has changed with grub2 also. | 09:21 |
| shuvam | i dont know anything about that | 09:21 |

| peter__ | I want to set up a home VPN server. I have a laptop both wired and wirelessly connected to a router. Is the right approach to bridge the wlan0 and eth0? Will I be able to remotely connect with this set up? | 09:24 |
| pksadiq | Waffle: did you check the tinyurl link they gave? | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Framebuffer setup has changed in 10.10 since earlier releases also. So it may take some research. | 09:24 |
| ikonia | peter__: you had no need to bridge if both are connected to the router | 09:24 |
| Waffle | pksadiq, just did | 09:25 |
| blackshirt | Waffle: maybe you need installing libdirectfb :) | 09:26 |

| Dr_Willis | I dont see much need for splashy any more. but its time for me to head to work. | 09:26 |
| pksadiq | Waffle: and also did you try http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ubuntu at that site | 09:27 |
| peter__ | Ok | 09:27 |
| cnf | damnit! why won't the damned keychain unlock itself on login? | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: the packages and notes there are like 2+ yrs old. | 09:28 |
| tje_ | Can someone tell me which package I'd need to install from Maverick to end up with the 'md' (RAID) kernel module? | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | cnf: you can set the keyrng password to be blank and use 'unsafe storage' and it can auto-unlock. | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | work time for me. bye all. | 09:28 |
| tje_ | I have the raid0.ko, raid1.ko, etc.... But no md module anywhere under /lib/modules | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !keyring | 09:28 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: I'm 20+ years old ;) | 09:28 |
| cnf | and why does it ask for my password _twice_? | 09:29 |

| marel | Why can't I cd into a Skype4Py-1.0.32.0 folder ? It says "bash: cd: Skype4Py-1.0.32.0: Permission denied" | 09:30 |
| pksadiq | marel: try sudo | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | tje_: its fix in the kernel, no module | 09:30 |
| tje_ | pksadiq, Great, thanks for the suggestion. | 09:30 |
| tje_ | pksadiq, I found the md-crypt, which should do what I want as I had intended to crypto the RAID1 as well. | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | grep CONFIG_MD /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | tje_: ^^ | 09:31 |
| tje_ | CONFIG_MD=y | 09:31 |
| marel | pksadiq, sudo: cd: command not found | 09:31 |
| tje_ | So I guess I don't need the module. | 09:31 |
| tje_ | Muchos gracias | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | marel: sudo cd is pointless | 09:31 |
| marel | llutz, how do I cd into that directory than ? | 09:32 |
| llutz_ | marel: "sudo -i" and cd then | 09:32 |
| DasEi | marel: or own that dir to the standard user | 09:34 |
| pksadiq | marel: follow llutz_ , I thought it's cp | 09:34 |

| ikonia | mash_: bt4 is supported in the channel #backtrack-linux | 09:40 |
| llutz_ | azlon: 1st serial should be /dev/ttyS0, maybe you have to set parameter using setserial before you can use it | 09:40 |

| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: dude do you happen to know how to turn off this pesky password complexity check? | 09:48 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: which one (sorry wasn't paying attention) | 09:48 |
| teemo | i have no sound on youtube in firefox, though its works fine on google chrome, i searched a bit, tried some of the solution, but to no avail, is this a common problem? | 09:48 |
| Waffle | blackshirt, its lucic | 09:48 |
| Waffle | lucid | 09:48 |
| kalkin | l | 09:48 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: like the minimum requirements, lenght, and characters contained... | 09:49 |
| blackshirt | ok.. you have try reinstall it ?? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: for the default login/password ? | 09:49 |
| blackshirt | i mean splashy package ? | 09:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: yepp? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: try lchage | 09:49 |
| llutz_ | azlon: sure your cable is ok? | 09:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: with an "l" infront? never seen that one... | 09:49 |
| Euthanatos | how can i set boot to console login (no x)? | 09:50 |
| azlon | llutz_: i think so... :| i guess i can bring another cable home from work tonight... | 09:50 |
| azlon | llutz_: thanks | 09:50 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: hopefully it's still valid, yes, an "l" (ell) | 09:50 |
| blackshirt | output your install process | 09:50 |
| llutz_ | azlon: iirc the cisco should response when you press <enter> | 09:50 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: the rest of the policy stuff is in pam | 09:50 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: i am afraid there is no such thing as lchange here...:/ | 09:51 |
| ikonia | lchage | 09:51 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: lchage not change | 09:51 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: yepp that is what i am looking for but apparently no such thing... | 09:51 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: look at /etc/pam.d/common-password | 09:51 |
| azlon | llutz_: is there any way to issue a ping-like command to see if i have connectivity to the console port? | 09:51 |
| llutz_ | azlon: nope | 09:52 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: the command was "chage" not "lchage" they have dumped the "l" | 09:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: i did; setting min=4 max=4 sould disable complexity check for passwords longer than 4 digits but it doesnt seem to have any effect... | 09:52 |
| === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu | ||
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: it should do, | 09:53 |
| azlon | llutz_: ok, one last question... i am using a console cable that has RJ45 connectors at each end. on the PC i have a serial to RJ45 adapter that came with the cable (they came with the switch). is there any way to use a NIC as an interface to the console port and just remove the whole serial connection? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: check out this https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html | 09:53 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: chage doesnt offer the option as far as i kan see | 09:53 |
| llutz_ | azlon: i odn't know sorry | 09:53 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: didn't know if it did, bit rusty on that | 09:54 |
| azlon | llutz_: ok, thanks | 09:54 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: it's controlled in pam | 09:54 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: thats what i read but the setting appears to be inefficient... | 09:54 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: I can't test it as I don't have a box here, but it should work, I've used it to increase password complexity in the past | 09:54 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: you may need to log a bug if it's not working | 09:54 |
| remoteCTRL1 | geezus how do they say? who finds a bug may keep it :D | 09:55 |
| Waffle | how did i get it to install again? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: you've got to push it if you log it | 09:56 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: so you're of the opinion that this is not being overridden by some ubuntu proprietary setting but that there is something wrong then? | 09:56 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hehe PUSH THE TEMPO! | 09:56 |
| Waffle | how did i get it to install again? | 09:56 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: if you set it to min=4 max=4 it should be minimum password legnth of 4, and don't check for entropy for passwords 4 chars or above | 09:56 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: that is what i understood but it doestn take effect... :/ | 09:57 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: all right dude you were of great assistance as always, will file a bug report in this case :) | 09:57 |
| Waffle | how did i get splashy to install again | 09:57 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ikonia: thanks alot:) | 09:57 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL1: no problem | 09:57 |
| blackshirt | Waffle: you can firstly purge it, aptitude purge splashy | 09:58 |
| blackshirt | Waffle: and then install again, aptitude install splashy | 09:58 |
| blackshirt | Waffle; or, something more simple apt-get install --reinstall splashy | 09:59 |

| pksadiq | mosty: might be, but if need to disable, that might be the best way | 10:02 |
| Flannel | mosty: Well, a round-about way of doing it, is to disable automatic kernel upgrades (by removing the appropriate metapackage) | 10:02 |
| Euthanatos | DasEi, hmm...why would i be missing that? | 10:02 |

| DasEi | Euthanatos: can't find the item ? | 10:03 |

| DasEi | Euthanatos: elde install it, if it's missing | 10:05 |
| DasEi | else* | 10:05 |
| Flannel | mosty: I think you're heading at this the wrong way. I imagine GRUB2 could ultimately accomplish what you're hoping to do (each OS has its own area in the grub menu, that wouldn't affect the others) without doing esoteric things | 10:05 |

| Flannel | mosty: I'm thinking (I haven't used GRUB2 a whole lot) that you gut 10_linux, and then add all your custom ones in whatever ordering you want. Then 10_linux wouldn't do it's auto-search (for the 'current' OS), and your other entries would be there, one file per OS, with manual entries. | 10:09 |
| mosty | flannel: say grub is upgraded in install 1, so update-grub is run with install 2 last in the list at boot. then what happens if grub is upgraded in install 2- the list is changed again | 10:09 |

| Flannel | mosty: that seems like it would accomplish what you're after. And, you might be able to yank the stuff out of 10_linux, make it install-specific, and throw it into your custom ones, and make it so you don't need to manually update them. | 10:10 |

| jrib | anygivenname: did you look at /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf? | 11:15 |
| home-alone | I am taliking about Xununtu not ubuntu ..Puppy is ugly by the way | 11:15 |
| DasEi | home-alone: a PIII ? speed/ram ? | 11:15 |
| MindVirus | jrib: When I do that it is telling me GROUP timidity exists... | 11:15 |

| ikonia | useradd and it's complaining about a group ? that doesn't make any sense, just add the user to the group | 11:19 |
| jrib | MindVirus: did you create a timidity user /before/ trying to install timidity? | 11:19 |
| Nethead777 | dasei i now see dev/sda1 dev/sda2 dev/sda3 | 11:19 |

| ikonia | anygivenname: re-installing fail2ban gave you that exact error ? | 11:22 |
| Nethead777 | dasei show linux not root for sda1 also has * boot checked sda2 is extended | 11:22 |
| anygivenname | ikonia: maybe not exact....but an error | 11:22 |
| jrib | MindVirus: purge timidity stuff, delete the timidity group, pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/timidity-daemon.postinst | 11:22 |
| ikonia | anygivenname: right, so be exact when you say things like that | 11:23 |
| DasEi | Nethead777: filesystem crypted ? | 11:23 |
| Nethead777 | dasei should not be | 11:23 |
| ikonia | anygivenname: I don't know why you are having all these problems with fail2ban everytime I've set it up, it works fine | 11:23 |
| ikonia | anygivenname: I would suggest removing all your fail2ban packages, removing all the configs, re-installing and trying again | 11:23 |
| DasEi | Nethead777: so sda1 will be root then | 11:23 |
| user1a | :-( | 11:23 |
| anygivenname | how do I remove it completely ? | 11:23 |
| Nethead777 | dasei ok? | 11:23 |
| ikonia | anygivenname: open the package manager, search for the package and click remove and purge | 11:24 |

| home-alone | c u | 11:26 |
| jrib | meco: youtube tries to be too smart. If you visit other flash sites like badgerbadgerbadger.com or something, you'll get a yellow bar at the top of firefox you can use. Or you can just use synaptic to install flashplugin-installer | 11:26 |
| UnholyTerror | mary__, go back into synaptics, find the package you installed and select properties. That will tell where everything is installed. | 11:26 |
| DasEi | Nethead777: should be in another shell, ls showing your harddrive | 11:27 |
| meco | jrib: No, I got that yellow bar at the top at YouTube. | 11:27 |
| jrib | meco: ok, then use that | 11:27 |
| meco | ok | 11:27 |
| jrib | MindVirus: maybe I made a typo? There should be a postinstall file for timidity-daemon in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 11:27 |

| teemo | the time in ubuntu GUI (top, right corner) is in 24 hours, and i would like it 12 hours, how can i change it? Right-clicking the applet -> Preferences doesn't show me a setting to do this | 12:39 |
| th_ | teemo, lol. you are in the right place :) | 12:39 |
| th_ | teemo, just look for a "clock format" | 12:40 |
| th_ | teemo, and buy new glasses :P | 12:40 |
| JoeMaverickSett | teemo: after that General tab > time format. :) | 12:40 |

| teemo | th_: there is no clock format, under Clock Preferences, there are 3 tabs General, Locations, Weather | 12:41 |
| th_ | teemo, its in general | 12:41 |
| teemo | a button at the bottom, for time settings | 12:41 |
| bullgard4 | BlueEagle: This is my guess too. I take it as »index list«. | 12:41 |

| BlueEagle | What I cannot fathom is why Ubuntu insists on downloading all files before starting the installation when doing a system upgrade. It should be possible to know the dependency structure and perform installation of some components while the others are being downloaded. In most cases the downloads take as much or more time than the actual installation. | 12:45 |

| BlueEagle | venilsurya: Which terminal are you using? | 12:49 |
| scotsguy | well get aps to load in wine | 12:49 |
| venilsurya | BlueEagle: The default one for Elinks in Ubuntu - xterm I think | 12:49 |
| UnholyTerror | type: gconf-editor | 12:49 |
| teemo | ok | 12:50 |
| BlueEagle | venilsurya: Well you can start any terminal emulator and run elinks in that. For setting fonts in xterm you would need something like http://www.google.no/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=xterm+font+size&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 12:50 |

| besogon | Does anybody work hand and glove with udev? I have a warning message at boot time: udev[81] bla-bla-bla | 13:03 |
| delabencomo | zonova: what do you want to preload | 13:03 |

| jnnii | anyone here using vpn with gnome network manager? | 13:05 |
| jnnii | There was a problem launching the authentication dialog for VPN connection type 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc'. Contact your system administrator. | 13:05 |
| cdavis | jnnii: yes I have used pptp | 13:05 |
| th_ | hi all. does anybody have a clue why gparted doesnt recognize my partitions. disk is running nice and i can see those partitions in "disk utility". im trying to do a 64bit installation without losing my XP and my /home partition(they are on that disk) | 13:05 |
| jnnii | cdavis, how do you have gnome keyring setup? | 13:06 |
| delabencomo | zonova: is it a deb file | 13:06 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: do u have it set to max retries & then ban IP ? | 13:06 |

| besogon | jnnii: vpnc is only for Cisco VPN protocol. MS VPN is called as PPTP | 13:07 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: yes | 13:07 |
| zonova | No, i dont think the game is a deb file | 13:07 |
| jnnii | yes, i am trying to get it to work with cisco | 13:07 |
| th_ | BlueEagle, just pure PATA | 13:07 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: & it does so in reality ? | 13:07 |
| zonova | But it does run on linux | 13:07 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: yes, it works fairly well | 13:07 |
| jnnii | morons at work didn't let me install software on their laptops so I got my own.. | 13:08 |
| delabencomo | zonova: how do you install it? | 13:08 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: Since the blacklist wasn't persistent I added swatch to watch log files and create blacklist for shorewall to load during each reboot | 13:08 |
| jnnii | I used to have it work with Kvpnc..now with the netbook gnome works better ; | 13:08 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: I have LogWatch | 13:08 |
| jnnii | i import the pcf profile from a working profile | 13:09 |
| zonova | You dont need to install it, i think. I just copied the folder on to my desktop, and clicked on the icon for the game, and it auto started.. It is written in Java | 13:09 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: what isn't working right? | 13:09 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: u tested it urself with a wrong password log-in from another machine on a different network ? | 13:09 |
| jnnii | the problem I think is that network manager does not triger the keyring | 13:09 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: I don't specifically remember testing it myself but I watched the logs and watched it blacklist ips | 13:10 |
| jnnii | with KDE I had to setup a password before i could actually use kvpnc | 13:10 |
| zonova | delabencomo : sorry if im not answering correctly. Im new with ubuntu, so i don't know all that much. | 13:10 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: it allows infinite number of log-in attempts although I set it to 3....it does not ban the IP.....& it does not report to auth.log | 13:11 |
| adac | How can i make an iptables command persistent, so that it is executed after a reboot? | 13:11 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, yes you can do it but you've got some learning to do... | 13:11 |
| delabencomo | zonova: i would extract the iso insert the app somewhare and make an iso | 13:11 |
| BlueEagle | th_: Does the disk show but there are no defined partitions in it or are the partitions shown not correct? | 13:11 |
| jnnii | there is another note popping up at the wireless networkk applet that say that that there are no available secrets | 13:11 |
| th_ | BlueEagle, it shows disc fine but not partitions. | 13:12 |

| anygivenname | no | 13:14 |

| vivien_m | Hi. The hard drive of my laptop is making noice every 3 or 5 seconds. It is like it was writing a file every 5 seconds. In "iotop", I see that kjournald is often active, maybe it is this daemon that activates the HD? The noice is a bit annoying, and I fear that it hurts the HD. Anything to do against that restless HD? | 13:18 |

| anygivenname | cdavis: ok | 13:18 |

| cdavis | anygivenname: You also know that invalid ssh attempts to 127.0.0.1 will probaly be ignored? | 13:19 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, ok, so don't worry about the dvd until after you accomplished the changes. make a copy of the .iso first and work on the copy | 13:19 |

| ikonia | anygivenname: 127.0.0.1 is the local host, the one I've told you to NOT test from many times | 13:22 |
| BlueEagle | th_: There is a package called testdisk in the repos. I recomend you read up on that and see if it can find something fishy in your partition table. | 13:22 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: Can you log in incorrectly 4 times and let me see the log files after that? You need to try to ssh from a different system | 13:22 |
| camer0n_ | peter__, it shouldn't really be hard. I am currently connected to via ssh at the moment as the machine is on my current network | 13:22 |
| ikonia | anygivenname: 127.0.0.1 is the machine that's currently running fail2ban and fail2ban will ignore and tests from | 13:22 |
| th_ | BlueEagle, yes i thought that too and installed testdisk. but didnt do anything with it because i dont wanna lose my data :( | 13:22 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, no, that's only the first thing you do to install some utilities. it's not after every command | 13:22 |
| camer0n_ | peter__, but if i leave home and try go connect, i get the error | 13:22 |
| BlueEagle | th_: In any case this is a good a time as any to take a full backup of your data. :D | 13:22 |

| peter__ | suggests your router isn't set up properly. | 13:23 |
| th_ | BlueEagle, my /home is backupped regulalry :) | 13:23 |
| BlueEagle | th_: It is ALWAYS a good idea to have a backup in any case as harddisks do never last forever. | 13:23 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, you can install those from synaptic if you want and skip that first step. | 13:23 |

| zonova | UnholyTerror : well, something in that language is after every instruction. What exactly is it? | 13:24 |
| peter__ | and you set the router to forward port 22 to that ip? | 13:24 |
| wkf5566 | How to do after extracting | 13:24 |
| cfedde | ady01: I've not seen that particular error and so I'm not going to be much more help. Sorry and good luck figuring it out. | 13:24 |
| BlueEagle | th_: With luck you will not have to. However the alternative is not doing anything. | 13:24 |
| vivien_m | dli: yes, only kjournald. Sometimes kj2d or something like that, but rare. | 13:24 |
| ady01 | cfedde thank you anyway | 13:24 |

| UnholyTerror | zonova, show me where it repeats | 13:25 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: done....http://paste.ubuntu.com/523257/ | 13:26 |
| dli | vivien_m, some notorious programs(maybe rest in peace): tracker/fam | 13:26 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: this is auth.log | 13:26 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: do u want fail2ban.log | 13:26 |
| peter__ | Has anyone got firesheep running under ubuntu? | 13:26 |
| vivien_m | dli: I checked on my desktop computer, and no kjournald. | 13:27 |
| zonova | UnholyTerror : How exactly does that install something? It's not repeating, but im talking about the overall language that it is in. I have no idea what it is. | 13:27 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: yes please | 13:27 |
| dli | vivien_m, kjournald is a kernel thread for ext[34] fs | 13:27 |
| BlueEagle | th_: What I did when I discontinued using dmraid was to clear the entire partition table and ran testdisk to restore the partitions. This (finally) cleared the raid settings that had been written by the SW raid setup. | 13:27 |
| BlueEagle | th_: I did not loose any data from that operation. However I DID make a complete backup before attempting this. | 13:27 |
| zonova | UnholyTerror : just in case this helps with anything, im running vista right now | 13:28 |

| pluhngz | how do i have a list of usernames in a chat room show up on right or left side of xchat window? in 10.10ub | 13:28 |
| vivien_m | dli: yes, my desktop is under ext4 as well, but kjournald does not show every 5 or 10 seconds in iotop (while it does on my laptop). | 13:28 |
| orl | anyone using Ubuntu with a Mac Intel here? | 13:28 |
| anygivenname | cdavis: fail2ban.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/523258/ | 13:28 |
| th_ | BlueEagle, did you do something like this: http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/09/23/solved-unknown-filesystem-in-gparted-in-ubuntu/ | 13:28 |
| vivien_m | dli: ps aux |grep famd or tracker returns nothing. | 13:28 |
| dli | vivien_m, I don't see kjournald in iotop on my ext4 system, I suppose it's not the fs to blame, but some programs. try to catch with 'top' watch for 'D' status | 13:28 |
| djamel | orl, i do | 13:28 |
| orl | djamel: cool. | 13:28 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, they are programs on your computer... sudo apt-get install installs programs from the repositories. | 13:28 |
| dli | vivien_m, good, at least you don't have tracker/fam | 13:29 |
| orl | djamel: I would need some precisions about EFI, rEFIt, MBR, and so on. | 13:29 |
| djamel | orl, i use rEFIT | 13:29 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, dude, are you kidding me? | 13:29 |
| pluhngz | how do i have a list of usernames in a chat room show up on right or left side of xchat window? in 10.10ub | 13:29 |
| BlueEagle | peter__: According to http://codebutler.github.com/firesheep/ Linux is not supported. | 13:29 |
| pluhngz | #xchat = 100% afk | 13:29 |
| orl | djamel: for some reason, my installation just can't boot (before or after grub, it depends) | 13:29 |
| vivien_m | dli: 'D' does not work under top | 13:29 |
| besogon | Does anybody work hand and glove with udev? I have a warning message at boot time: udev[81] bla-bla-bla | 13:29 |
| orl | djamel: OK, can we chat, something like 5 minutes in private? | 13:29 |
| anygivenname | ikonia: i never connect incorrectly on the same machine....simply cause I never actually power it off.....I only put on the password after screensaver | 13:29 |
| djamel | orl, it's better for me so i can have 3 boot options | 13:29 |
| zonova | UnholyTerror : >.< | 13:29 |
| djamel | orl, yes | 13:29 |
| zonova | UnholyTerror : i should have mentioned that earlier | 13:29 |

| xananax_ | Hello | 13:30 |
| glaucous | in Multimedia System Selector you can set the alsasink device, which I believe has something to do with gstreamer. Where exactly is this setting stored? | 13:30 |

| UnholyTerror | zonova, you can't do this from Vista | 13:30 |

| camer0n_ | how do you edit iptables via ssh if you were editing the rules for ssh in iptables and locked yourself out? | 13:30 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, you need to be in linux and in a terminal. | 13:30 |
| zonova | UnholyTerror : ohh, ok. So i have to bot up ubuntu on my computer, and the folow the instructions | 13:30 |

| ppirate | xananax_ no go :-( | 13:31 |
| UnholyTerror | zonova, yes. | 13:31 |
| AbhiJit | ppirate, you have to register your nick name | 13:31 |
| zonova | UnholyTerror : Oh, i get it now. That stuff it all for the terminal.... wow im slow xD | 13:31 |
| besogon | wkf5566: Do you know something about Windows? | 13:31 |
| ppirate | AbhiJit, ok, I'll look into this | 13:31 |
| vivien_m | dli: No status 'D' appears on the page. | 13:31 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: Try this (unless you already are) ssh to your host and type wrong password. Disconnect. ssh to host again and try bad password. Disconnect. ssh to host again and type bad password, disconnect. Now when you ssh you should not get a prompt. | 13:31 |
| pluhngz | is there a way in Xchat to have that the user list embedded on left side, or right side like in mirc etc? | 13:32 |
| xananax_ | ppirate, Ah, it does not work for #java in particular: the channel is invite only | 13:32 |
| cdavis | anygivenname: I am thinking that ssh and typing password wrong three times only constitutes one failed login attempt | 13:32 |

| xananax_ | Boradcom drivers problem...I have tried so many tutorials that I can't keep track of what I did anymore. My problem now is that after each restart, restricted drivers tells me my SATA are activated but not currently in use, and I can't use wireless. The only workaround is to deactivate them, run the "bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb" found on the install CD, and re-activate them | 13:34 |
| dli | vivien_m, it should be kernel cpufreq control :( | 13:34 |
| xananax_ | Any idea on what I should do? | 13:34 |
| galadude | Hi, I have a netbook with a danish keyboard, how can I make a backslash? | 13:34 |
| LjL | galadude: probably altGr + the key right of 0 | 13:35 |
| vivien_m | dli: ok so it probably not that. And what about events/0 ? | 13:35 |

| pluhngz | oops | 13:36 |
| noobuntu | what is the difference between openjdk and sun-java6-jre packages ? | 13:36 |
| pluhngz | uhhh, wtf is smp on my system output? | 13:36 |
| vivien_m | dli: sometimes, I also have scsi_eh_0 and hald-addon-stor | 13:36 |
| pluhngz | i have Core 2 quad 9300 | 13:37 |
| dli | vivien_m, if you run out of ideas, try other fs. not many good choices though: jfs(a little bit old nowadays), xfs(old, and heard about data losses), btrfs(too new, not considered stable yet), reiserfs(reiser rests in prison) | 13:37 |
| ikonia | pluhngz: easy on the language please. | 13:37 |
| galadude | LjL, I've tried that but i get this charater"±" | 13:37 |
| pluhngz | ikonia, it just means wagging the float | 13:37 |
| LjL | galadude: i guess then it's different from the swedish layout. | 13:37 |
| pluhngz | its how we question things in timbuktoo | 13:37 |
| besogon | galadude: you should chose the correct keyboard type in keyboard settings. If you want to make your own buttons use xmodmap and acpid | 13:37 |
| dli | vivien_m, yes, hald is bad, hope you could remove hal some day | 13:37 |
| ikonia | pluhngz: don't mess around, we all know what it means, please just keep it out of the channel | 13:37 |
| pluhngz | ok so that being said: | 13:38 |
| pluhngz | xchat 2.8.8 Linux 2.6.35-22-generic [x86_64/2.00GHz/SMP] | 13:38 |

| MaxDamage | iptables -A INPUT -s 173.0.0.0/20 -j DROP | 13:38 |
| MaxDamage | does this look good? ^ | 13:38 |
| ikonia | pluhngz: because multicore is smp | 13:38 |
| llutz | pluhngz: smp = symmetric multiprocessing | 13:38 |
| galadude | besogon, I've tried chosing the correct layout, but it doesn't have my computer as an option. I'll try useing xmodmap or acpid. Thankyou | 13:38 |
| xananax_ | galadude, alt+f2, type gnome-keyboard-properties and enter, then go to "layouts>add" and you must be able to see the layout there | 13:39 |
| pluhngz | wonder how the /sv command detected that | 13:39 |
| bullgard4 | pluhngz: smp is a way to let ccperate several processors in the kernel of the operating system. | 13:39 |
| bullgard4 | s/ccperate/cooperate/ | 13:39 |
| galadude | LjL, it's usually the same, but ubuntu doesn't have the correct layout for my computer | 13:39 |
| vivien_m | dli: thanks for the help anyway. I will make other tests, like killing X and removing as many services as possible. | 13:39 |
| dli | vivien_m, I currently use btrfs on my laptop, kinda of workaround | 13:40 |
| xananax_ | So no one can guide me a bit through my broadcom wireless drivers woes? Is there a dedicated forum or something? | 13:40 |
| dli | xananax_, b43 or wl? | 13:40 |
| xananax_ | dli: B43 | 13:40 |
| jv__ | Guys, About VPNC in the network manager applet | 13:40 |
| dli | xananax_, b43 is good, but uses too much cpu | 13:40 |
| jv__ | I installed KVPNC | 13:40 |
| xananax_ | dli, then what should I do? | 13:41 |
| bullgard4 | xananax_: You better try to get it working and report the error messages which you obtained. | 13:41 |
| dli | xananax_, all the trouble from broadcom :( | 13:41 |
| jv__ | connected right away after I imported the cisco .pcf profile | 13:41 |
| xananax_ | bullgard4, I get it working, the problem is I have to go through the procedure again after each reboot | 13:41 |
| xananax_ | bullgard4: after each restart, restricted drivers tells me my SATA are activated but not currently in use, and I can't use wireless. The only workaround is to deactivate them, run the "bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb" found on the install CD, and re-activate them | 13:42 |
| jv__ | when i first opened KVPNC it asked me sudo pw because it was going to change things | 13:42 |
| bullgard4 | xananax_: I am vonvinced that this reflects in the dmesg. | 13:42 |
| vivien_m | I have a simple question about X: how do you stop it? and restart it? I use xdm. Ctrl+C seems to restart X, but I am not sure (maybe just xdm is restarted). | 13:42 |
| galadude | xananax, I can't, everything is correct except that there's a ± instead of a backslash | 13:42 |
| jv__ | then kwallet popped up and i chose cancel to not use it | 13:42 |
| xananax_ | bullgard4, let me check | 13:42 |
| brigada | Please for change the chat in languaje Spanish im no speak in english thank you very much | 13:42 |

| bullgard4 | xananax_: My advice: Look for this error message in Launchpad. If you do not find it there, report an errror there. | 13:43 |
| rusivi | !es | brigada | 13:43 |

| ikonia | Latsni: you setup a username and password when you install it | 13:43 |
| jv__ | there was something on thenet about it on how to use vpnc without the gnome network applet but I don't have time now to fiddle with scripts | 13:43 |
| xananax_ | galadude then you can remap your key: xmodmap -e "keycode [UR_KEYCODE]=[NEW KEY]" | 13:43 |
| vivien_m | I tried to stop X with "sudo service x11-common stop" or same with xdm, but X is not stopped. :-( How to stop X? | 13:43 |
| dli | xananax_, sorry I'm in hurry, but couldn't find a good how from ubuntu, try the debian wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx | 13:43 |
| xananax_ | galadude, but I can't remember how to get a keycode | 13:44 |
| galadude | xananax, thankyou, I'll try that now | 13:44 |
| camer0n_ | hey, how do you delete all iptables rules? | 13:44 |
| jjkola | hello | 13:44 |
| xananax_ | bullgard4, dli, thanks, I'll see what I can do with that info and report back | 13:44 |
| jv__ | if someone asks about vpn with gnome network manager applet to cisco, tell them to install kvpnc ;) | 13:44 |
| Latsni | ikonia: i didn't install it .. i run the livecd and i didn't set a password there :/ | 13:44 |
| LjL | Latsni: try "ubuntu"/blank | 13:45 |
| brigada | Muchas gracias ubottu | 13:45 |
| jjkola | should I report version string localization (bash) as a bug as it breaks some scripts which assume that the version string is in English? | 13:45 |
| Latsni | LjL: thanks that works | 13:46 |
| BlueEagle | jjkola: I would instead bug report the script which makes such a horrid assumption. | 13:47 |
| chrometiger | Can anyone tell me how to fix 10.10 so that I can use gpsbabel to transfer my data from unit to hdd | 13:47 |
| BlueEagle | jjkola: It is my opinion that a script that relies on a spesific localisation be used sets such localisation prior to executing the program that makes the localised reply. | 13:48 |
| xananax_ | bullgard4, sorry, I am kind of linux noob (i code and use server stuff but I have been running ubuntu only since a few weeks) the dump from dmesg is huge, how do I filter it to show errors only? | 13:48 |
| BlueEagle | xananax_: grep is a nice tool | 13:48 |
| galadude | xananax, I've found a place where I can get the keycodes, but how do I make it ALT+key? | 13:48 |
| BlueEagle | xananax_: try: dmesg|grep error | 13:49 |
| jjkola | BlueEagle: how can the script then determine the version if the version string can be anything? | 13:49 |
| xananax_ | galadude: sorry, can't help much more than that, I am new to all this. It just happened that I had to change a key so I looked for that, but I can't tell you more. Maybe google for xmodmap | 13:50 |
| xananax_ | BlueEagle, thanks | 13:50 |
| kumar | how can i open a password protected drive in ubuntu | 13:50 |

| jrib | jake_: popcon.ubuntu.com? Don't know if there's a way to do it in the software | 13:52 |
| xananax_ | bullgard4, ok, trying that now | 13:52 |
| chrometiger | Can anyone tell me how to fix 10.10 so that I can use gpsbabel to transfer my data from unit to hdd | 13:52 |
| jake_ | jrib: thanks. Thery should really think abouting adding it right into the software, like in Mint | 13:53 |
| llutz | chrometiger:what error? | 13:53 |
| bullgard4 | chrometiger: What is "unit"? | 13:53 |
| jrib | jake_: maybe brainstorm.ubuntu.com to suggest that? | 13:53 |
| chrometiger | one sec | 13:53 |
| BlueEagle | jjkola: I am not sure about this but try: LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" bash --version | 13:54 |
| Pici | jake_: Ratings are planned to be added to the software center in the next release of Ubuntu. | 13:54 |

| Pici | jake_: Thats the plan. | 13:55 |
| BlueEagle | jjkola: w00t!?! That must be the best guess ever. :D You're welcome. | 13:55 |
| mrenouf_ | Esigolo, the Phoronix Test Suite? | 13:56 |
| jake_ | Pici: eh... I guess change is always good. | 13:56 |

| llutz | chrometiger:sorry "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" add a line "blacklist garmin_gps" if it not exists. without quotes | 13:59 |
| mrenouf_ | Esigolo, my guess is some of the tests failed with compiler errors. I guess some do work. I will keep trying. getting the GUI to work (php-gtk was tough, found http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/misc/php5-gtk-lucid/ though) | 14:00 |

| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:06 |
| === leif_ is now known as Leif | ||
| Imok | Is there any way to install Ubuntu on my PC without having to burn a disc? | 14:06 |
| === Guest32159 is now known as Canadian_Pirate | ||
| BlueEagle | blackshirt: Got any reference to the fact that ndiswrapper can interfere with the sata drivers? | 14:07 |
| IdleOne | !usb | Imok | 14:07 |
| ubottu | Imok: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 14:07 |
| Imok | I have no USB at this time | 14:07 |
| IdleOne | !wubi | Imok | 14:07 |
| ubottu | Imok: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

| BlueEagle | Imok: You can mount the ISO image in windows and run a Wubi install. | 14:07 |
| anygivenname | how do I enable remote desktop sharing service ? | 14:08 |
| Esigolo | mrenouf, Gz in fact I had the same problem usualy i`m on linux windows just to use the Microsoft Visio | 14:08 |
| Imok | Wubi install Ubuntu in Windows? | 14:08 |
| IdleOne | Imok: yes | 14:08 |
| Canadian_Pirate | Can you make a symbolic link over two partitions? | 14:09 |
| Imok | I just want to install on a partition | 14:09 |
| salbito | hello. i have ubuntu server and i wanted to ask if its possible to block out access to the server through mac address filtering | 14:09 |
| sebsebseb | Hi | 14:09 |
| BlueEagle | Imok: Then you need either a USB drive or a CD. | 14:09 |
| IdleOne | Imok: your options are to burn a CD, do a USB install or Wubi. | 14:10 |
| mrenouf_ | Canadian_Pirate, yes | 14:10 |
| test34 | salbito, http://www.bing.com/search?q=iptables+mac+filtering | 14:10 |
| Imok | IdleOne: Ok, thank you | 14:10 |
| Canadian_Pirate | mrenouf How? | 14:10 |
| pluhngz | test34 | 14:10 |
| pluhngz | you just sin'd | 14:10 |
| Canadian_Pirate | mrenouf_ How? | 14:10 |
| anygivenname | how do I enable remote desktop sharing service ? | 14:10 |
| pluhngz | dont ever post bing.com in here, google is the only allowed search engine on free node | 14:10 |
| mrenouf_ | Canadian_Pirate, ln -s /target/location /link/location | 14:10 |
| pluhngz | or you get sue'd | 14:10 |
| Canadian_Pirate | mrenouf_ Thanks | 14:11 |
| mrenouf_ | Canadian_Pirate, you need the '-s' for symbolic | 14:11 |
| IdleOne | pluhngz: no it isn't and please stay on topic. | 14:11 |
| mrenouf_ | Canadian_Pirate, otherwise it's hard link, which must be within the same filesystem | 14:11 |
| test34 | pluhngz, shh | 14:11 |
| aeon-ltd | pluhngz: please quit the trolling, anyone can use whatever they like | 14:11 |
| Canadian_Pirate | mrenouf_ Thank you. I needed that | 14:11 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: install rdesktop and configure it from the menu | 14:14 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: or use the free ultravnc, though not in the repos, also great compression and ssh | 14:15 |
| ciphergoth | I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. I have a CD/DVD drive. When I put a CD in, I'm prompted to run Rhythmbox, but when I put a DVD in, nothing happens. | 14:15 |
| Licuadora | Hello | 14:15 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: vnc is already built in here | 14:15 |
| fredrik_ | need to install dvd.support | 14:15 |
| besogon | MaxDamage:" iptables -A INPUT -s 173.0.0.0/20 -j DROP" it is correct. | 14:15 |
| MaxDamage | besogon, thanks. | 14:16 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: ultravnc ? | 14:16 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: but VNC does not work with fail2ban | 14:16 |
| MaxDamage | besogon, though, a user from that IP range is still able to connect to my server. | 14:16 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: can't find a package with that name | 14:16 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: I mean fail2ban does not recognize its authentication | 14:16 |
| ciphergoth | I have Medibuntu set up and libdvdcss2 installed. | 14:16 |
| fredrik_ | I'm having trouble with winetricks. returning a merror message and aborting. Anyone care to help? | 14:16 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: the vnc from the repos works but isn't as far developed then the one from the "outside | 14:17 |
| fredrik_ | sent you a pm with link | 14:17 |
| miskewitsch | linaleon | 14:17 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth | 14:17 |
| Licuadora | What could be wrong in my CompactFlash memory card? I can seee my pictures in the camera, but not in Ubuntu, i even did a scan with ClamTK Antivirus, and it got stuck, now when I try to search for files i get this in the terminal: FAT: filesystem error (dev sdb1) fat_get_cluster:invalid acces to FAT invalid cluster chain | 14:17 |
| miskewitsch | linaleon | 14:17 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: Win PC is unable to communicate with Ubuntu's remote desktop sharing service | 14:18 |
| besogon | MaxDamage: I haven't much experience with iptables. But let me look it again | 14:18 |
| glaucous | Is it possible to use find, to find all symbolic links inside a directory? | 14:18 |
| fredrik_ | have you got a mediaplayer compatible with libdvdcss2? | 14:18 |
| miskewitsch | alimaral | 14:18 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: rdesktop works with xp here, same ultravnc | 14:18 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, have you got a mediplayer compatible with libdvdcss2? | 14:19 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: isn't Totem compatible with libdvdcss2? | 14:19 |
| dli | Licuadora, how do you read the CF card? what hardware/software | 14:19 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, Totem-xine | 14:19 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: ports and passwords must be set, and firewall open (can do by hostkey) | 14:19 |
| ciphergoth | I have ubuntu-restricted-addons and ubuntu-restricted-extras installed already | 14:19 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, guess that means you'll need to install xine as well as totem, to be able to play dvds in totem | 14:19 |
| Licuadora | dli: I have a memory card reader, but I do not know the brand, and I use, i think is called NAUTILUS to open the folders, and then GIMP | 14:20 |
| ciphergoth | totem-xine is marked as transitional onto totem | 14:20 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: how do I set them ? | 14:20 |
| dli | Licuadora, and your camera doesn't support usb? | 14:20 |
| Licuadora | dli: yes | 14:20 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, come again? | 14:21 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: you install the client on each side and then call the gui; you want a rdesktop or is ssh enough, too ? | 14:21 |
| Licuadora | dli, Ah, so you wahnt me to plug the USB instead of the CF | 14:21 |
| dli | Licuadora, right | 14:21 |
| Licuadora | hm... | 14:21 |
| pluhngz | ahhhh this is nice, didnt know Google Chrome existed for linux, easy to install for 64bit/10.10 as well. Bye Bye firefox...lulz | 14:21 |
| eigar | how do I get taskbar/running-icon for vim.gnome? - it only show the default "no icon" icon. | 14:21 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: totem-xine says in its description it's a transitional package, and its only dependency is totem. | 14:21 |
| cmyrland | has anyone here successfully installed Fallout New Vegas yet? I'm trying to get some help over at #winehq, but it seems they're all sleeping | 14:21 |
| dli | Licuadora, and turn on the camera to computer mode | 14:21 |
| Licuadora | dli: So what do you think is wrong with my CF memory card? | 14:22 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, yes, have you got it installed? | 14:22 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: I want ssh | 14:22 |
| pluhngz | google chrome even makes firefox look like its full of useless bloat everywhere............ | 14:22 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: yes | 14:22 |
| ciphergoth | it's part of the standard desktop | 14:22 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, and it will not play dvds? | 14:22 |
| ciphergoth | but I just also tried gxine, no joy there either | 14:22 |
| dli | Licuadora, better not to go low level, which may work though with some tweak | 14:22 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: k, no problem , too | 14:22 |
| eigar | vim.svg is in /usr/share/pixmap | 14:22 |
| Stevethepirate | Anyone mind linking the 10.04 -> 10.10 update linky? | 14:22 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, well, hang on, I'll see if I'll get dvd running on this system | 14:22 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: sudo apt-get install ssh | 14:23 |
| Oxy_ | sup' | 14:23 |
| Licuadora | dli, I'll try the USB | 14:23 |
| eigar | have tried to add vim.gnome.svg vim.png vim.gnome.png and so on | 14:23 |
| Licuadora | dli, thx | 14:23 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, there... | 14:23 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: The xine engine failed to start. | 14:23 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: I have both | 14:23 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: No input plugin was found. | 14:23 |
| ciphergoth | Maybe the file does not exist or cannot be accessed, or there is an error in the URL. | 14:23 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: set passwordauthentication to yes | 14:23 |
| ciphergoth | Read error from: | 14:23 |
| eigar | gnome-icon-theme is up to date | 14:23 |
| ciphergoth | /dev/dvd | 14:23 |
| FloodBot4 | ciphergoth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:23 |
| ciphergoth | that's from gxine | 14:23 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: I mean I have ssh | 14:23 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: on the win pc install putty | 14:24 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: that's it | 14:24 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, what graphics card do you use? | 14:24 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: I'll check, but it's very hard to see how that could have to do with "Read error from: /dev/dvd" | 14:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | hello everyone | 14:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | what is the best irc client for ubuntu | 14:25 |
| ciphergoth | fredrik_: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) | 14:25 |
| besogon | MaxDamage:" iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 173.0.0.0/20 -j DROP" | 14:25 |
| GentooGeoff | There is no best phoenix_firebrd | 14:25 |
| besogon | MaxDamage: try this | 14:25 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: you're aware of the difference ssh / rdesktop ? the former gives you shell access (and X too, if needed) , while the next needs much more bandwith but then you see what is done on the other box | 14:26 |
| phoenix_firebrd | a good one atleast | 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | phoenix_firebrd: Konversation, Xchat, or for the termianl irssi or weechat | 14:26 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, ah, you're having read errors from you'r dvd. that's beyond my level of expertice. just wanted to know if hardware mpeg2-accellearation was enabled on your system. It seems you have a problem unrelated to dvd-support | 14:26 |
| MaxDamage | besogon, I think I already got it. I used CSF to deny the range for me. I think it worked. | 14:26 |
| LjL | phoenix_firebrd: try asking bestbot in #ubuntu-bots | 14:26 |
| ciphergoth | phoenix_firebrd: empathy has irc support and ships with the standard desktop | 14:26 |
| MaxDamage | besogon, #netfilter said my syntax is good. | 14:26 |
| phoenix_firebrd | seb which one are you using currently | 14:26 |
| ciphergoth | what's really odd is that CDs work fine | 14:26 |
| fredrik_ | ciphergoth, have you tried installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 14:26 |
| fredrik_ | I'm having trouble with winetricks. returning a merror message and aborting. Anyone care to help? | 14:26 |
| sebsebseb | phoenix_firebrd: Konversation is the IRC client I tend to use in Linux distros :) even in Gnome, yes its a KDE app | 14:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | right now i am using empathy, i am not satisfied with it | 14:27 |
| besogon | MaxDamage: I hope you don't use NetworkManager as it badly works with iptbles as I heard. | 14:27 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: how do I enable ssh access so I can access it from the Win PC thru Remote Desktop Sharing ? | 14:27 |
| eigar | irssi is good. | 14:27 |
| ciphergoth | ciphergoth: I have ubuntu-restricted-addons and ubuntu-restricted-extras installed already | 14:27 |
| prauscher | ohai - i had an idea i wanted to talk about | 14:27 |
| DasEi | ciphergoth: install vlc and then right-click dvd > properties > openwith, set as default | 14:27 |
| fredrik_ | DasEi, thanks | 14:27 |
| sebsebseb | eigar: maybe not the best one by a long way for most newbies though | 14:27 |
| prauscher | how about an post-installation-wizart? | 14:27 |
| MaxDamage | besogon, that's ConfigServer Firewall. I merely have to edit a file and restart it. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. :) | 14:28 |
| prauscher | *wizard | 14:28 |
| ciphergoth | DasEi: even lsdvd says "Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss." | 14:28 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: you want, these are two pairs of shoes | 14:28 |
| phoenix_firebrd | ok . then i will try the kde ones | 14:28 |
| prauscher | helping the user to dive in his new system | 14:28 |
| racha | Hello to all can anyone explain me how to setup my 5.1 ? | 14:28 |
| besogon | :) | 14:28 |
| eigar | sebsebseb: no, perhaps, depends on time disp I guess ... :P | 14:28 |
| prauscher | allowing do configure his desktop (basic-gnome-settings etc) | 14:28 |
| prauscher | hmm? | 14:28 |
| sebsebseb | eigar: disp ???? | 14:28 |
| DasEi | ciphergoth: there are some dvd's can't be played | 14:28 |
| dli | ciphergoth, what about /dev/sr0 | 14:28 |
| GentooGeoff | ciphergoth: Why are you trying to open /dev/dvd | 14:28 |
| prauscher | or: shall i present this idea anywhere else - any mailinglist? | 14:28 |
| ciphergoth | DasEi: I've deliberatly chosen the oldest DVD on my shelves | 14:29 |
| jenda | ahoj, mam nove ubuntu a mam ikony minimalizace-maximalizace a zavreni vlevo, jak je presunu do prava? | 14:29 |
| eigar | sebsebseb: disp.. eh forgot the english word for it. "having lot of time" | 14:29 |
| DasEi | ciphergoth: try to open with vlc, /dev/sr0 for one dvdrom, mostly | 14:29 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: on the Win PC, VNC viewer is able to connect to the Ubuntu machine immediately however the Remote Desktop Sharing is not connecting at all | 14:29 |
| eigar | dispencebale? | 14:29 |
| jenda | hello, I've new ubuntu and icons (minimasi, maximalise and close window) are on the left side. How can I move it to the right side? | 14:29 |
| eigar | no | 14:29 |
| eigar | dispenceable,..? | 14:30 |
| ciphergoth | DasEi: /dev/dvd is a soft link to /dev/sr0 | 14:30 |
| GentooGeoff | You should be mounting the dvd, not playing it directly from /dev | 14:30 |
| eigar | how about KVIrc? | 14:30 |
| ciphergoth | GentooGeoff: I ran "lsdvd" | 14:30 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: the rdesktop is for sharing between ubuntuboxes, I gues, else need a pair of vnc's | 14:30 |
| dagnachew | hi all | 14:30 |
| dagnachew | anyone using snort ? | 14:31 |
| eigar | have used KVIrc on win XP | 14:31 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: ssh by putty, rd by advanced vnc like tight, better ultravnc | 14:31 |
| jenda | How can I move icons for minimalisation-maximalisation-close window from left to right? (newest distribution of ubuuntu) thx. | 14:31 |
| ciphergoth | DasEi: with the commandline "vlc dvd://" | 14:31 |
| ciphergoth | I get DVDRead cannot open source: /dev/dvd | 14:32 |
| eigar | putty + screen is a winner | 14:32 |
| DasEi | ciphergoth: just vlc > open media > /dev/sr0 | 14:32 |
| === Dwade09_ is now known as Dwade09 | ||
| dagnachew | anyone using snort ? | 14:32 |
| ciphergoth | DasEi: there isn't an "open media" menu option - things like "open file" or "open disk" | 14:32 |
| anygivenname | DasEi: then why does the Remote Desktop Connection on Win PC is unable to connect to the Ubuntu machine ? | 14:32 |
| eigar | dagnachew: not for some years now. And then only on windows... | 14:33 |
| Canadian_Pirate | Has anyone had issues with Conky and Ubuntu Netbook 10.10? My conky just does not show up with window_type override. | 14:33 |
| ciphergoth | DasEi: if I "open disk" I get the same error with /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/dvd | 14:33 |
| DasEi | ciphergoth: open disk ;-) | 14:33 |
| dark3lf | Hello, do you guys know a simple program to fetch my mails via terminal ? | 14:33 |
| Stevethepirate | dark3lf: mutt | 14:33 |
| === Jaffles is now known as KsM | ||
| dagnachew | ok eigar | 14:33 |
| eigar | dark3lf: as in client? | 14:33 |
| Stevethepirate | He clearly means client. Surely? | 14:34 |
| eigar | alpine is very easy (at least compared to mutt) | 14:34 |
| MancSelecta | Can anyone help me workout why "wakeonlan" works from command line but not as a startup program please? | 14:34 |
| dark3lf | Stevethepirate, interesting thanx | 14:34 |
| DasEi | anygivenname: because of chance they where not designed to work together, like one keytype on the one side and another locktype on the other | 14:34 |
| ciphergoth | and libdvdread is saying the same things: "Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss." | 14:34 |
| dark3lf | cigar, what you mean client ? | 14:34 |
| dli | ciphergoth, mplayer -dvd-device /dev/sr0 dvd:// | 14:35 |
| dark3lf | cigar, I just want to retreive my mails on the server of my mail provider | 14:35 |
| ciphergoth | dli: why do you think that will work where all the others will fail? | 14:35 |
| ciphergoth | dli: I've tried totem, xine, vlc so far | 14:35 |
| ciphergoth | what's different about mplayer? | 14:35 |
| dli | ciphergoth, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing then | 14:36 |
| ciphergoth | surely the problem is at a lower level than this? | 14:36 |
| eigar | chitragupt: I have nothing but good experience with mplayer | 14:36 |
| eigar | when all else fails | 14:36 |
| ciphergoth | My guess is that if "lsdvd" doesn't work, nothing will work | 14:36 |
| === Oxy_ is now known as Oxy` | ||
| eigar | or - then i use mplayer as main player both for dvd, music, video and streams | 14:37 |
| ciphergoth | OK here we go with a fourth client then | 14:37 |
| scotty^_ | G'day everyone - launchpad bug #624742 was declined for Maverick. Can we nominate it for Natty please? | 14:37 |
| Eltu | Having Ubuntu Wiki troubles. "This list does not work, unless you have entered a valid email address!" - how do I enter a valid email address, then? | 14:37 |
| chrometiger | lol How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? | 14:38 |
| eigar | chitragupt: SMPlayer is a frontend GUI for mplayer btw | 14:38 |
| chrometiger | how should i know | 14:38 |
| ciphergoth | OK mplayer also uses libdvdread | 14:38 |
| ciphergoth | so I see the same message a fourth time: libdvdread: Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss. | 14:38 |
| eigar | think it has a lot of config done | 14:38 |

| llutz | chrometiger: SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev" | 14:40 |
| DasEi | scriptha: same, you once own the files on usb and the ones of the mountdir properly, and then be set | 14:40 |
| chrometiger | k gimme a min | 14:40 |
| llutz | chrometiger: and run sudo udevadm control --reload-rules after that | 14:40 |
| DasEi | scriptha: this is persistent at next re-plug | 14:40 |
| llutz | chrometiger: unplug your garmin before, test after udevadm command | 14:40 |
| scriptha | right, thanks | 14:41 |

| dlublink | wait, never mine. wine1.0 is still available, so I am running "apt-get install wine1.0" | 14:44 |
| dli | TripMine, apt-get build-dep foo, cd /usr/src;apt-get -b source foo | 14:44 |
| TripMine | dli, does that allow me to modify debian/rules | 14:45 |
| TripMine | ? | 14:45 |
| iksik | hello | 14:45 |
| DasEi | Pelo: sudo apt-get clean does the cache, but you only install again what you actually hit | 14:45 |
| iksik | any one is using INTEL GMA4500 under ubuntu mabe? | 14:45 |
| dli | TripMine, you can run debian/rules binary then | 14:46 |
| DasEi | Pelo: youst from being d/l ed it want install itself again | 14:46 |
| chrometiger | llutz: didn't work gpsbabel just hangs, oh well guess i'll have to stick with booting up windows to transfer tracks then coping to linux | 14:46 |
| TripMine | dli, what is the command for that? | 14:46 |
| Guest195 | can someone help me put windows XP on a logical partition? It will only install on a primary partition, so I copied its initial setup files onto a flash disk, reformated my drive to make it logical again (in an extended container) and I put the files back. How do I get it to boot, can someone help me configure grub, or if i install ubuntu in a seperate logical partition will it automatically configure grub for me? | 14:46 |
| biberao | hi | 14:46 |
| DasEi | Pelo: youst from being d/l ed it won't * install itself again, darn hehe | 14:46 |
| TripMine | dli, sorry for the lame questions, I have never gone this route before | 14:46 |
| Jeruvy | Guest195, thats the only way to install it, and you should be asking this in ##windows | 14:47 |
| Pelo | DasEi, I had a ppa which I removed , I don'T want to install from the ppa again , I want to make sure the cache is clean so I nstall the package from the regular repos | 14:47 |
| scotty^_ | I'm not familiar with edubuntu's menu layout. Try opening a terminal with ALT-F1, Down-arrow, Right-arrow, Down-arrow x6. If that works you can use xrandr -s to change the resolution and xrandr -r to change the refresh rate (if necessary). | 14:47 |
| DasEi | Pelo: sudo apt-get clean | 14:47 |
| Guest195 | Sorry Jeruvy! | 14:47 |
| Pelo | DasEi, thanks | 14:47 |
| llutz | chrometiger: what was your gpsbabel command exactly? | 14:47 |
| DasEi | Pelo: next time add a --purge to the apt-get remove, that kills config, too | 14:48 |
| scriptha | DasEi changes to permissions are not persistent. It's FAT by the way | 14:48 |
| Dwade09 | hey guys i had k3b installed i done sudo apt-get remove k3b but its still showing and i can still launch it how do i get rid of it totally? | 14:49 |
| Pelo | DasEi, that part I knew , I was jsut worried about the cache | 14:49 |
| DasEi | scriptha: where is the usb mounted ? | 14:49 |
| scriptha | /media | 14:49 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - I'm not familiar with edubuntu's menu layout. Try opening a terminal with ALT-F1, Down-arrow, Right-arrow, Down-arrow x6. If that works you can use xrandr -s to change the resolution and xrandr -r to change the refresh rate (if necessary). | 14:49 |
| Uraken | scotty: tried every combo in xrandr with no luck i must be typing something wrong but it will not change | 14:49 |
| DasEi | scriptha: media/what ? | 14:49 |
| chrometiger | im using the gebabbel frontend | 14:49 |
| scriptha | /media/stick | 14:49 |
| Pelo | thanks again , later | 14:50 |
| scotty^_ | hmm | 14:50 |
| DasEi | scriptha: as regular user : sudo chown -R $USER /media/stick , with the stick being mounted | 14:50 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - what is the output of xrandr ---prop? Use the pastebin. | 14:51 |
| scotty^_ | oops | 14:51 |
| biberao | is there a way to revert ubuntu to the first installation | 14:51 |
| biberao | ? | 14:51 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - what is the output of xrandr --prop? Use the pastebin. | 14:51 |
| DasEi | scriptha: and you're right, fat doesn't know permissions | 14:51 |
| Uraken | xrandr tells me i am currently running 1152 x 864 | 14:51 |
| DasEi | biberao: like what ? first distro or just basic pakets ? | 14:52 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - Do you remember what you were running before? Or what your panel's native resolution is? | 14:52 |
| Mrokii | hello. Where does xlsfonts get the fonts from (where are they located)? And can I add other fonts to it? | 14:52 |
| TripMine | dli, Streaming encoder support:(+FLAC) (-LAME) (+Ogg Vorbis) (-TwoLAME) (+WAVE) | 14:52 |
| scotty^_ | G'day everyone - launchpad bug #624742 was declined for Maverick. Can we nominate it for Natty please? | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | !fonts | 14:52 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 14:52 |
| Uraken | sorry my mistake my current res is 1152x86 i would like to make it 1024x768 | 14:53 |
| biberao | like ive seen an option on grub after doing a ctrl+g (in another distro) and it reverts the install to when it came on pc | 14:53 |
| TripMine | dli, can you instruct me how to compile the mpd after I modify the debian/rules ? | 14:53 |
| iksik | any one? ;) | 14:53 |
| UbuntAlex | i have a question/issue that may be more of a hardware than software issue... | 14:53 |
| Uraken | sorry my mistake my current res is 1152x864 i would like to make it 1024x768 | 14:53 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - 1152x86? or 1152x864? | 14:53 |
| Uraken | :) | 14:54 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - What happens when you issue the command xrandr -s 1024x768 ? | 14:54 |
| scotty^_ | Go ahead UbuntAlex | 14:54 |
| DasEi | biberao: no, there is no such function, but if you remove ubuntu-desktop, x and gdm,autoremove then can start up-- fresh install would be much faster, though | 14:54 |
| ciphergoth | if I use a CD instead of a DVD, regionset says "ERROR: Region code could not be set!" | 14:55 |
| Uraken | it changes to exactly what i want :: you little dancer scotty thanks mate | 14:55 |
| biberao | DasEi though it can made possible on grub right | 14:55 |
| UbuntAlex | ok let's try this again. i haven't used x-chat in months. | 14:55 |
| biberao | maybe im going to ask on their channel | 14:55 |
| scotty^_ | Uraken - no problem mate. | 14:55 |
| DasEi | biberao: no, wrong approach | 14:55 |
| Uraken | now if you could just stay about for my next 4000 questions that would be great :) lol just joking thanks again | 14:56 |
| UbuntAlex | what sort of hardware problem could be causing my AMD Phenom II X4 to lock up while installing ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7? | 14:56 |
| DasEi | biberao: you could generate a paketlist when setup is done, and then another after some usage, which you could then diff and use for deinstallation | 14:56 |
| biberao | DasEi any tutorial about that? | 14:56 |
| DasEi | !clone | 14:57 |
| ubottu | 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 | 14:57 |
| blue112 | Hi here | 14:57 |
| UbuntAlex | :/ | 14:57 |
| blue112 | How can I fix glx on my ubuntu ? It segfaults when I try to run glxinfo or glxgears :/ | 14:57 |
| DasEi | info diff | biberao | 14:57 |
| DasEi | !info diff | biberao | 14:58 |
| ubottu | biberao: diff (source: diffutils): dummy transitional package for diff -> diffutils. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.0-1 (maverick), package size 6 kB, installed size 36 kB | 14:58 |
| DasEi | biberao: so could have two snapshots which you can use for reinstalling later | 14:58 |
| scotty^_ | UbuntAlex - The first 3 that come to mind would be badly seated RAM module/badly seated graphics card, bad RAM modules (use grub's memtest86+ to check this), or PC getting too hot. | 14:59 |
| biberao | but the distro o mean does without many touch | 14:59 |
| biberao | :P | 14:59 |
| TripMine | dli, can anyone instruct me how to compile the mpd after I modify the debian/rules ? | 14:59 |
| biberao | i might check it better thanks | 14:59 |
| UbuntAlex | RAM passed memtest | 14:59 |
| TripMine | can anyone instruct me how to compile the mpd after I modify the debian/rules ? | 14:59 |
| linuxguy101 | test | 14:59 |

| linuxguy101 | DasEi: I suffer from log in lag apparently | 15:00 |
| ravenreturns | Hey guys need massive help | 15:00 |
| rusivi | UbuntuAlex: If your Wubi installing Ubuntu into Windows 7 and encounter problems, it may not be a hardware issue, but a software/Wubi issue. | 15:00 |
| AbhiJit | ravenreturns, ask | 15:01 |
| scotty^_ | blue112 - you should check for an existing bug for that and if you don't find one you should use ubuntu-bug to file a new bug. What make and model is your graphics adaptor? | 15:01 |
| ravenreturns | Anybody pretty familiar with launchpad? | 15:01 |
| nze | hi, i was wondering if FreeNX does session sharing? | 15:01 |
| nze | i need to remotely help a friend set up a server box and was wondering what solution to go with (nx, tightvnc, vino..?) | 15:01 |
| biberao | DasEi about fsck if i wanted to do it now what would be the best way to do it? It says i cant do it with the partition mounted | 15:01 |
| scotty^_ | And what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 15:01 |
| blue112 | scotty^_, it's an ATI, HD 4300 | 15:01 |
| pluhngz | oh btw, ever since i installed Ubuntu 10.10 parallel to windows 7, 2 diff partitions, whenever ubuntu starts up, it shows all these sdb errors, and the first time i went back into windows 7 after i went into ubuntu 10.10 on the new partition, it had to do those checks that lasted 3 minutes | 15:01 |
| blue112 | I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 | 15:01 |
| UbuntAlex | it's a hardware issue | 15:01 |
| pluhngz | is there something in the 10.10 installer that makes windows think | 15:01 |
| pluhngz | there is corruption issues? | 15:01 |
| DasEi | biberao: use a live cd | 15:01 |
| blue112 | And I'm using opensource driver | 15:01 |
| pluhngz | if you do a parallel install? | 15:01 |
| UbuntAlex | it happened before, thought it was my mobo | 15:02 |
| UbuntAlex | RMA'd. ran fine for 2 days straight. then happened again after running flashpoint. | 15:02 |
| biberao | DasEi but it says do fsck manually there has to be a way to not use a livecd | 15:02 |
| UbuntAlex | sometimes it doesn't even get through the BIOS post message. | 15:02 |
| * scotty^_ is fairly familiar with launchpad | 15:02 | |
| scriptha | DasEi, sudo chown -R $USER /media/stick as the user who mounted it? | 15:02 |
| JackDB | Hey, guys. I have a 2 partion Windows 7 and I would like to know what's the best way to install 10.10. | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | UbuntAlex, you think there are others in your virginia neighborhood using Ubuntu | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | right now also? | 15:03 |
| AbhiJit | :'( | 15:03 |
| UbuntAlex | god no, i live on the southside of richmond | 15:03 |
| AbhiJit | !pm | ravenreturns | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | jackdb, i installed 10.10 on a parallel install | 15:03 |
| ubottu | ravenreturns: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 15:03 |
| ciphergoth | JackDB: is one partition much bigger than the other? | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | 1 650gig hD | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | 350 for 10.10, 300 for 7 | 15:03 |
| DasEi | biberao: you can set it to come after the next 1-2 boots, or run it manually in readonlymode and preenoption, but best is to start from live or usbstick and have it clean | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | and whenever ubuntu boots up it gives weird hard drive errors that it fixes w/ checks | 15:03 |
| pluhngz | windows did that 1 time as well, but subsequent times it doesnt | 15:04 |
| dobak | cam i use this chat room i my live stream? | 15:04 |
| pluhngz | each OS thinks the partitions are corrupted | 15:04 |
| UbuntAlex | i've been told it *could* be a defective PSU, as it happens at idle, load, whenever. | 15:04 |
| biberao | back | 15:04 |
| pluhngz | after parallel install | 15:04 |
| JackDB | @ciphegoth main is 100 gb, secondary is 200gb | 15:04 |
| abhijeet | hi guys. I am facing one problem while trying to boot the ubuntu 10.10 on sony viao laptop | 15:04 |
| biberao | DasEi if you answered i couldnt see it | 15:04 |
| DasEi | biberao: you can set it to come after the next 1-2 boots, or run it manually in readonlymode and preenoption, but best is to start from live or usbstick and have it clean | 15:04 |
| ciphergoth | is there lots of free space on the secondary partition? | 15:04 |
| abhijeet | after some time of booting the screen is becoming black then there is no response. | 15:05 |
| JackDB | yeah, just install windows a couple of days ago | 15:05 |
| ravenreturns | Ok apologies | 15:05 |
| JackDB | installed | 15:05 |
| pluhngz | jackDB, i just installed Steam on ubuntu using wine | 15:05 |
| pluhngz | in 10.10 | 15:05 |
| ravenreturns | Is there anybody out there that can solve my launchpad problem? | 15:05 |
| pluhngz | but gaming performance in wine/steam is crap | 15:05 |
| JackDB | Ok | 15:05 |
| pluhngz | win7 is superior for games on steam | 15:05 |
| biberao | ok thanks DasEi | 15:05 |
| abhijeet | My viao laptop has nvidia graphics.. can anyone tell me how can I resolve it | 15:05 |
| ciphergoth | JackDB: then just put in the install DVD for the latest Ubuntu desktop release, and it'll talk you through shrinking that big partition | 15:05 |
| DasEi | scriptha:just enter $USER in terminal to see what it does | 15:05 |
| scotty^_ | UbuntAlex - what is Flashpoint? | 15:05 |
| UbuntAlex | it's a game. | 15:06 |
| ciphergoth | OK, so here's what I've established: all the DVD playback software under Ubuntu (totem, xine, vlc, mplayer) uses libdvdread, so if lsdvd doesn't work, nothing will work. | 15:06 |
| scriptha | DasEi will this be persistent though? | 15:06 |
| pluhngz | scotty^ , steganography is a form of covert channels | 15:06 |
| pluhngz | but giving different responses on tuple outputs is polyinstantiation in a bella-lapdula environment | 15:06 |
| DasEi | scriptha: yes, changes the ownership of that dir and subdirs | 15:06 |
| ciphergoth | lsdvd complains "Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss." (as do all those players) | 15:06 |
| Dwade09 | what program can i use to see whats on my hard drive, like gives me a visual of every file and folder on my hard drive where it looks like a diagram of a pie or something close to it? | 15:06 |
| UbuntAlex | in hindsight, it might be as simple as my CPU overheating. it's a phenom 2 X4 with the stock cooling. after i put it all back together i used arctic silver 5 on the CPU | 15:07 |
| JackDB | via Wubi? I would like a normal install. my q is do I have to shrink the secondary partiotion? | 15:07 |
| ciphergoth | even though I have libdvdcss installed (and in fact have reinstalled it | 15:07 |
| pluhngz | ciphergoth | 15:07 |
| abhijeet | can anyone help me out?? | 15:07 |
| ciphergoth | What should my next step be? | 15:07 |
| DasEi | Dwade09: baobab is such a tool | 15:07 |
| pluhngz | i couldnt play regular dvd's yesterday after installing | 15:07 |
| ravenreturns | Is it that I am being very naive that no one is answering my question :@ | 15:07 |
| pluhngz | 10.10, but i did some steps that made it work now | 15:07 |
| pluhngz | I followed this site: | 15:07 |
| pluhngz | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 15:07 |
| scriptha | DasEi even when the usb storage is removed and inserted on a Windows box and then back in the Ubuntu one? | 15:07 |
| ciphergoth | pluhngz: I have medibuntu set up and I've installed libdvdcss2 and ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:07 |
| DasEi | Dwade09: located in the metapackage gnome-utils | 15:08 |
| pluhngz | dunno, it works for me now | 15:08 |
| scotty^_ | UbuntAlex - A defective PSU is a possibility given the problem seems to happen so early sometimes, although it would be unlikely on a new machine. | 15:08 |
| Dwade09 | thank you DasEi | 15:08 |
| DasEi | scriptha: yes, the dir remains on the hd still, sure | 15:08 |
| pluhngz | how long u have 10.10 before u install medibuntu | 15:08 |
| pluhngz | lots of random bloat? | 15:08 |
| pluhngz | or right after clean install | 15:08 |
| UbuntAlex | i have a 550W OCZ Fatal1ty modular, but i could try and see if the 550W BFG i got with my six hundred resolves the problem | 15:08 |
| scotty^_ | ravenreturns - what is the launchpad problem? | 15:08 |
| cbush15 | Hi | 15:08 |
| cbush15 | Does anyone no command for xline? | 15:09 |
| pluhngz | ubuntalex, it is nice seeing people refer to "Fatal1ty" | 15:09 |
| swim | ubuntu 10.10, my screen will flash on and off for about a minute, then when it stops flashing; there's no mouse/cursor pointer.. | 15:09 |
| pluhngz | when they speak of gaming hardware | 15:09 |
| pluhngz | me/fatal1ty were qw/dm teammates 10 years ago in quake1 | 15:09 |
| pluhngz | 4on4 dm3.bsp the abandoned base | 15:09 |

| Dwade09 | DasEi, isnt compize already installed ? or do i have to install it? im wanting to make it when i move the mouse to the corner of the screen it changes desktops | 15:11 |
| UbuntAlex | i hope it's just the PSU | 15:11 |
| unperson | I'm trying to upload some images to Facebook on my lucid (10.04) machine, and so far I'm not having much luck. I'm hoping someone here has done this recently and can tell me how to do it successfully. | 15:11 |

| Dwade09 | thank you again DasEi | 15:12 |
| UbuntAlex | this is quite disheartening as i thought i had resolved it and ordered a 64GB SSD. but now i need to still resolve it. | 15:12 |
| scotty^_ | pluhngz - You may be interested to know that Wine 1.3.5 has improved Shader Model 4 support - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODY4Mw | 15:12 |
| scotty^_ | The latest Wine release is 1.3.6 | 15:12 |

| unperson | xangua, I hit the "upload photos" button and got a window with a "select photos" button. When I select that button it just brings up some local file browser window. When I select files in that nothing seems to happen. | 15:13 |
| scriptha | then how do I share it across users llutz? mount permissions? | 15:14 |
| llutz | scriptha: man mount (options umask, uid, gid) | 15:14 |
| unperson | xangua, Okay, every odd. I'm trying it again and this time it worked. No idea what the difference was. | 15:15 |
| scriptha | I want the automounter (Nautilus?) to do it automatically llutz | 15:15 |
| unperson | xangua, Maybe things were bogged down on their end before and I just didn't wait long enough. | 15:15 |
| llutz | scriptha: no idea how that is done, i guess a udev-rule would do | 15:15 |
| stnick5 | If I update from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, will I have to back up all my files? | 15:15 |
| stnick5 | OR will they be left alone? | 15:15 |

| trojan_spike | but could do ,, jus on the safe side | 15:16 |
| paranormal-rash- | on 10.10, my screen will randomly start flashing on and off for about 1 minute, then when it stops there is no mouse/cursor pointer visible, the mouse still works, but you can't see it.. upon restart everything works fine... | 15:16 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Hello, I'm here looking for someone who has successfully been able to install packages from a repo disc created with APTonCD. I need this feature badly for an offline machine and so far it doesn't work. I'm running Lucid LTS. | 15:39 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, What did you say? | 15:39 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, I said that the wireless light is on, and that would it list it under iwconfig if I had hit the kill switch? | 15:40 |
| IdleOne | cbush15: same answer as before. you have to check the documentation or maybe there is a forum but this is not a Ubuntu issue. | 15:40 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, No. Usually when you flip the kill switch it's like the card doesn't even exist. | 15:40 |
| cbush15 | yes i know how to | 15:40 |
| cbush15 | here /gline hostname | 15:40 |
| thestudent | no that`s not what I mean,I d`like to know who is connected to my network(example:phone) not the active connections of a computer | 15:40 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, I just done another iwlist scan and I get this "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy " | 15:41 |
| TendencyDriven | Look, no pastebin xD | 15:41 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, I'm trying to think why it wouldn't be working. Let's try this. What module does your card use? | 15:41 |
| anirudhr | thestudent, Wireshark. | 15:41 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, I don't know, how would I find this out? | 15:41 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Well that's a better sign. At least it's 'doing something' | 15:41 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, sudo lspci -k will list all hardware and what each device uses. It will list them as a kernel driver | 15:41 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, It's a built-in card on a HP Compaq C700 laptop. | 15:41 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, use lspci -k | 15:41 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, two seconds | 15:42 |
| apporc | I can't login to windows desktop. When i input my password and enter, it just does nothing and return the login windows again. | 15:42 |
| thestudent | but wireshark is just showing the current connections of the computer,what packages are going and not who is connected...i`m not an expert so maybe you can explain... | 15:42 |
| cbush15 | thanks for your help IdleOne | 15:42 |
| anirudhr | ciphergoth, I still don't get why LCDd was running, though. | 15:42 |
| apporc | Can anyone give some help. | 15:43 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, I think it is ath5k | 15:43 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ok Ill try this question...When I go to System, Admin, Software Sources, and try to add a repo disc from there and it fails even though there is a repo disc present, what mount location is it looking for the disk? I'm thinking this may be the issue is that my disks arent mounted to the correct location. | 15:43 |
| anirudhr | apporc, This is the wrong forum. Try ##windows. | 15:43 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Yeah that is one. Confirm it by running lsmod | grep ath5k | 15:43 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, It's there, want the complete output from the lsmod | grep ath5k? | 15:43 |
| apporc | I am sorry .but my system is ubuntu.I can't login to windows desktop. When i input my password and enter, it just does nothing and return the login windows again. | 15:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Is it /cdrom or /media/cdrom0 or /media/cdrom etc? | 15:44 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, lsmod lists all the modules in use in the system right now. It is a lot so we use | grep ath5k to list only the lines that have ath5k in them. | 15:44 |
| anirudhr | thestudent, You have a bunch of people connected to the wireless network created by your router and you want to see who is connected, right? If you log in to your router, you most probably can see that. | 15:44 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, I don't need to see it. I trust you. | 15:44 |
| apporc | There are something wrong with my system . So I can't use IRC normally. | 15:44 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, Ok ;-) | 15:44 |
| xtjacob | hello, I'm trying to compile cinelerra, but i'm missing the libx264 libraries and i've already installed libx264-98 and libx264-dev. What packaged is needed? | 15:44 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Try sudo modprobe -r ath5k wait like 5 seconds then sudo modprobe ath5k. | 15:44 |
| PJSingh5000 | apporc: Are you saying you can't log into Microsoft Windows, or you can't log into the Ubuntu Desktop? | 15:44 |
| anirudhr | apporc, Do you mean to say that you can't graphically log in to Ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| JoeyJo0 | Hey, does anyone know some good CLI-based games? | 15:45 |
| JoeyJo0 | for Ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| TendencyDriven | JoeyJo0, Zork? :) | 15:45 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, That will remove the module and reload it. It's sort of akin to restarting the device. This is how you work with drivers in Linux. | 15:45 |
| JoeyJo0 | TendencyDriven: I am deeply ashamed that I didn't think of that one myself. | 15:45 |
| TendencyDriven | JoeyJo0, xD | 15:46 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, Ok, done that. | 15:46 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, According to the connection manager, wireless has been disabled. | 15:46 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, And it is better? does the iwlist scan command work? | 15:46 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, network manager might take a second to recognize it again | 15:46 |
| apporc_ | Hello man . | 15:46 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Also, you might have to recheck that little box "enable wireless networks" | 15:46 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, I just done another iwconfig, it's the same as before. Also done a iwlist scan and instead of it's busy it says "Network is down" | 15:47 |
| apporc_ | I am back. I use ubuntu. I can't login to my X windows system. | 15:47 |
| thestudent | indeed but I d`like to know how I can see that list without the router...it must be some other way | 15:47 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Did you do modprobe ath5k as well? It sounds like you didn't. Just want to make sure. | 15:47 |
| TendencyDriven | I did, should I do it again? | 15:47 |

| TendencyDriven | edbian, It's the same output as before on both of those commands. | 15:48 |
| edbian | cdavis, Yes because wubi doesn't actually repartition the harddrive. It creates a file inside windows | 15:49 |

| edbian | TendencyDriven, Not yet. Look in dmesg | 15:50 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Check the network manager applet periodically. | 15:50 |
| edbian | TendencyDriven, Did you have to switch the "enable wireless" check box? Do you even have one in network manager's menu? | 15:50 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, I done 'dmesg' and at the bottom is http://pastebin.com/W0ruu6pa | 15:51 |
| TendencyDriven | edbian, there is a "Enable wireless" but it is grayed out and unclickable | 15:51 |

| subichan | hi there. i'm on ubuntu 10.4 and i got the tcl package installed.. i've tried to compile a program that requires tcl support. well when i "make" it can't find some files. on the instructions it's told that one should set TCL_INCLUDE and TCL_LIBRARY variables to something specific but i don't have a clue as to what should be written.. besides, TCL_LIBRARY equals -ltcl in the given file already. what should I do? I'm new to this, of course. Thanks | 16:08 |

| titan_USC | PJSingh5000: I did. When I installed my drivers after a fresh install of 10.10 my term began to be transparent. I went to Edit->Profile Preferences->Background to set my image. When I do that, the term stays transparent and I see through the image. If I turn up the transparency to 100%, the background color from Colors tab, will cover the background image | 16:16 |

| PJSingh5000 | If it's a compiz issue, you can add exceptions but it depends on which compiz feature you are using. In "Opacity" there is a Window specific setting where you can add rules. | 16:21 |

| PJSingh5000 | ghostnik11: you can experiment with this before your install. It will only work for your current session. To make it permanent, you will have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf with these values. But first see if you can get your resolution change to actually work. | 16:33 |

When you try this after install, run xrandr and see what is says is the name of your display. If it is "default," then I think you need to use "default" instead of "VGA1" | 16:40 |

| PJSingh5000 | ghostnik11: "default" is just a name. Mine was "VGA1". If you attach other screens xrandr will list the names for those as well. My guess is that since you are using live CD, it is using "default" as a name. I never tried running xrandr from a live CD, so I don't know what it prints out as the display's name. | 16:44 |

| duffydack | CHC, need to resize your windows partition to make free unpartioned space | 16:44 |
| smalls | (10.10 Netbook) Can someone tell me how to 'enable' the desktop so i can place and view files on it, right click for menu, etc? (not nautilus, but the actual desktop) Thank you. | 16:44 |
| GoldenFish4U | andeeeuk, Unity is based on Mutter (the new toolkit for Gnome) which is kinda lame. They're recoding Unity so it uses Compiz, which will make it faster :) | 16:44 |
| andeeeuk | yeah unity is not fantastic but 10.04 is going to ship with it :s | 16:44 |
| CHC | duffydack: i did that, the installer doesn't detect any partitions at all though | 16:45 |
| kensanata | Can I use an Ubuntu 10.10 CD to upgrade my existing system? (I found that I can download a powerpc .iso even if the software upgrade doesn't work) | 16:45 |
| andeeeuk | <GoldenFish4U> ok, i didnt realise that | 16:45 |
| PJSingh5000 | ghostnik11: There's always the optimistic chance that after install, Ubuntu will correctly recognize your screen's size. | 16:45 |
| GoldenFish4U | yw :) | 16:45 |
| andeeeuk | i gues thats why it is v slow | 16:45 |
| duffydack | CHC, odd... SATA controller I assume? any raid setups? | 16:45 |
| andeeeuk | jus weird that its soo quick until you opem any application | 16:45 |
| GoldenFish4U | yeah, and as far as the desktop Unity is concerned, they got a lot of stuff to tweak lol | 16:45 |
| CHC | duffydack: no, and i can mount tyhe filesystem, etc | 16:46 |
| GoldenFish4U | andeeeuk, I advise you to fall back to stock Gnome or so | 16:46 |
| andeeeuk | <GoldenFish4U> lol, yeah | 16:46 |

| ghostnik11 | pjsingh5000: okay i will start installation know will be back as soon as its done to let you know what happens and will run xrandr after install and get output, thanks for the help so far | 16:46 |
| duffydack | CHC, could choose 'try ubuntu' and then partition it with Disk Utility, then run installer.. or try the alternate installer cd | 16:47 |

| noric | I am in ubuntu crisis mode. I upgraded to 10.10 and it completely broke the way I work. The new UI (unity, mutter, I dont even know what it is called) completely broke the way I work. My compiz hotkeys are gone. My multiple desktops are gone. The netbook slowed to a complete crawl. I couldn't even find system settings in the menus for awhile. How do I completely revert back to my old gnome / metacity / compiz UI? Thanks. | 16:48 |
| titan_USC | How would you set the login popup to transparent? | 16:48 |
| noric | If Ubuntu keeps raping the UI every 6 months, we're not exactly catering to the technical users who know what they want | 16:49 |
| kensanata | freddy_dude: Something like sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop maybe? Followed by sudo apt-get autoremove... But I'm sure there are more informed people than. :) | 16:49 |
| kensanata | freddy_dude: All I ever did was use this to switch to xubuntu-desktop... | 16:50 |
| tuttifrutti | Hi folks! I'm trying to setup my wireless network in terminal mode (gdm disabled) but I keep banging my head against the wall. Any expert here who would like to have a look at what I'm doing? | 16:50 |

| duffydack | tuttifrutti, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238387 | 16:50 |
| noric | How do I revert my UI back to how it was with 10.04? I can't find much about this online, which is surprising giving how bloody annoying the new icon thing is. | 16:50 |
| ganstadred | sup | 16:51 |
| kensanata | noric: Maybe you can install some other foo-desktop package? | 16:51 |
| GButola | noric: are you using unity | 16:51 |
| Licuadora | Is it posible to use a SLR camera as a webcam? | 16:51 |
| kensanata | noric: And then pick the appropriate one at the login screen. | 16:51 |
| CHC | duffydack: this is what i mean: http://i54.tinypic.com/in4cup.png | 16:51 |
| noric | GButola, yes I believe I am using unity | 16:52 |
| CHC | its like that in gparted aswell but not disk utility though | 16:52 |
| tensa_zangetsu | Licuadora: in most cases as far as i know: NO | 16:52 |
| noric | kensanata, OK. Which would be the vanilla metacity / human theme / with compiz shortcuts I was using? | 16:52 |
| CHC | and the device is right | 16:52 |
| Licuadora | hm... | 16:52 |
| duffydack | CHC, Hmm. What does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda reveal | 16:52 |
| GButola | noric: then why not install gnome and you'd b able to choose it while loging in | 16:52 |
| kensanata | noric: I think you can run sudo tasksel to get a list? | 16:52 |
| duffydack | CHC, probably the same :( grab the alternate installer and give that a go. | 16:53 |
| Licuadora | anyway... | 16:53 |
| tensa_zangetsu | Licuadora: depends on whether the camera supports the feature of being usable as a webcam - if it does then maybe - such a device would most probably come with webcam drivers | 16:53 |
| CHC | ah, GUID partition table is why | 16:53 |
| kensanata | noric: Effectively that would amount to the same thing as what GButola is saying, I think. | 16:53 |
| GButola | noric: you cannot remove the left side dock as of now | 16:53 |
| GButola | unity is not cusomizable | 16:53 |

| duffydack | CHC, ah. | 16:54 |
| CHC | does anyone know a way to convert it? | 16:54 |
| duffydack | CHC, you used windows to resize it then? | 16:54 |
| CHC | yes | 16:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Anyone here able to get APTonCD created repo discs to work in Lucid and actually have installed packages from the disc? | 16:54 |
| Dwade09 | is there a gui to peerblocker? or one like it for ubuntu. | 16:54 |
| duffydack | CHC, no longer a windows expert, I think thats what it does to the partition when you resize it. No idea how to convert it. Maybe resize it back to original? guessing | 16:55 |
| noric | GButola, kensanata, OK, tasksel only permits selection of "desktop environment" which is what I have right now. What are the exact packages to get rid of unity and restore my old gnome? | 16:55 |
| CHC | duffydack: i found this if you're curious http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282793, thanks though it probably would have taken me some time to find out why its like that | 16:55 |
| tuttifrutti | duffydack: Thx, bud, I'll check it out | 16:55 |
| Unhandled_Except | how can i know the extention of one file. | 16:56 |

| noric | GauravButola, p gnome-desktop-environment - The GNOME Desktop Environment | 16:56 |

| kensanata | noric: Sounds good... :) | 16:57 |
| Unhandled_Except | tensa_zangetsu: yeah | 16:57 |

| hypatia | Eventyret: actually, i kid - those are probably different versions of the same file | 17:24 |
| trism | deostroll: the ubuntu desktop version should, because it comes with gwibber by default, which depends on python-webkit and python-gtk2 | 17:24 |
| eurythmia | I'm trying to set up mediatomb as a upnp server for my ps3 (because it now handles on-the fly transcoding), but the media partition on my ubuntu box is fat32 (owned by root:plugdev) ... whenever I try to browse to this in the mediatomb web UI to add it I get the following message pop up " could not list directory /var/data : Permission denied" ... I've tried to run "sudo chown -R username:group" on both /var/ | 17:24 |
| eurythmia | data (which is where the data partition is mounted) and on /var/data/*, but chown reports that the operation is not permitted (I assume that this is because it's fat32 and doesn't support standard unix perms). Is there any way to get mediatomb to see this without blasting away the partition and re-doing it in ext2/3/4 (or other *nix fs) ? | 17:24 |
| ndroftheline | what open-source disk imaging solution sholud i use to make a backup image on a secondary partition | 17:24 |
| Eventyret | hypatia: 1 format | 17:24 |
| eurythmia | also: I'm running lucid. | 17:24 |
| hypatia | ndroftheline: ghost-style whole disk image, or are you more concerned with backing up files? | 17:25 |
| ndroftheline | hypatia: the former | 17:25 |
| hypatia | ndroftheline: check out partimage, or possibly just dd | 17:25 |
| ndroftheline | #partimage | 17:26 |
| eurythmia | ndroftheline, I would not listen to either of those two, and go for G4L (ghost4linux) | 17:26 |
| ndroftheline | damn what's the command for giving basic information | 17:26 |
| hypatia | ndroftheline: http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page | 17:26 |
| hypatia | !info partimage | 17:26 |
| timo | eurythmia: IIRC you can set permissions and user/group ownership for fat32 partitions in /etc/fstab | 17:26 |
| ubottu | partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.8-1 (maverick), package size 276 kB, installed size 968 kB | 17:26 |

| nicehcname | Hi, how can I chmod a file so everyone can read it, but no one (not even root) can write to it? | 17:26 |
| monday | ndroftheline: just dd if=/dev/sda of=/somefile.img | 17:26 |
| tekk | no ideas guys? | 17:27 |
| eurythmia | timo, sounds good, I'll see what I can find out about that. | 17:27 |
| hypatia | Eventyret: that one's up to you... but have a look at "meld", it's an awesome gui merge tool | 17:27 |
| monday | ndroftheline: its free | 17:27 |
| ndroftheline | monday: yeah i'm familiar with the dd option | 17:27 |
| ndroftheline | monday: i'd rather have something with a gui if possible | 17:27 |
| Eventyret | hypatia: il check it out, thanks again :D | 17:27 |
| PJSingh5000 | Kartagis: I just remembered! Windows can't see disks larger than a certain amount. The way around this is to partition your 500 GB into 2 or four FAT 32 partitions. Then Windows will see all the partitions totalling to 500gb. But BE CAREFUL as you partition so you don't lose your data! | 17:27 |
| ndroftheline | i'll check out G4L and partimage | 17:27 |
| hypatia | good luck, ndroftheline :) | 17:28 |
| monday | ndroftheline: I think I used partimage with knoppix | 17:28 |

| hblount | hypatia: damn. can i still "install" ubuntu on a usb drive? so i can save files and settings on it | 17:29 |

| monday | Eventyret: did that kernel patch fix your issue? | 17:36 |
| enyc | I am puzzled by ubunt 10.04 and grub2 with LVM disks -- changing the 'root=' argument on linux command line from grub2 menu isn't taking effect | 17:37 |
| monday | Eventyret: I was wondering about that for awhile. | 17:37 |
| enyc | e.g. changing 'root=/dev/mapper/root-0' to 'root=/dev/mapper/root-1' isn't taking effect despite also changitg the fstab on root-1 (root-1 is a clone of root-0) | 17:37 |
| Eventyret | monday: nope it still is a issue with the kernel i think | 17:38 |
| enyc | Do I need to change something tnhat gets embedded in the inird or something? | 17:38 |

| glaucous | When partitioning. If I'm just going to have Linux and some storage on a drive, is there a reason to create primary partitions at all? Couldn't I just create one Extended, and then use Logical? | 18:46 |
| Monotoko | how do I stop outgoing traffic through port 80? | 18:47 |
| EDinATL2 | primary partitions make it easy to recover data | 18:47 |

| MetaPhaze | Trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my system. I have TWO controllers for SATA storage. Intel controller is set to RAID with 2 SATA drives. Marvell controller is set to IDE with one drive. Trying to install ubuntu to SATA drive on Marvell controller that is set to IDE. Ubuntu can not find that drive, only sees the RAID volume on the Intel controller. Any ideas? | 18:49 |

| lea123 | Hi I just wanted to know if the dual boot of Ubuntu over Windows Vista gives any problems as such. i was watching a video on google and it says partioning the disk wouldn't always work.. | 18:49 |
| smalls | monotoko -- iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -p tcp --sport 80 -j DROP ^there | 18:49 |
| EDinATL2 | one time I think I had an issue with a drive because it was done as /sdb and not /sdb1 | 18:49 |
| Monotoko | smalls...hehe thanks :D | 18:49 |
| smalls | monotoko with the -I you have to specify where to insert... the 1 after OUTPUT makes it the first rule =) | 18:49 |
| glaucous | EDinATL2, I'm going to partition, of course. But I don't seen a reason to use PRIMARY partitions when you can use LOGICAL? As far as I know its only Windows that requires primary. | 18:50 |
| lea123 | Is everyone using a pure Ubuntu machine or has a dual boot option with windows ? | 18:50 |
| Monotoko | smalls...i assume output means outgoing traffic? | 18:50 |
| EDinATL2 | logicals are less clean | 18:50 |
| EDinATL2 | don't do logical unless you have to | 18:50 |
| lea123 | Could anybody help me with their experiences | 18:50 |
| EDinATL2 | it's only a way to give you more than 4 partitions | 18:50 |
| Monotoko | lea123, im dual booting | 18:50 |

| wixo | leal32, i have windows on sdb, sda is ubuntu of course | 18:51 |
| Nom | lol | 18:51 |
| EDinATL2 | if you need to recover data, it's much harder to deal with logical partitions | 18:51 |
| smalls | monotoko, type "iptables -nvL" and you can see your rules. you have INPUT, OUTPUT, and FORWARD. you can also add custom chains. Might I give you a suggestion for your rules? | 18:51 |

| lea123 | OK Phail_Quail then in that case how do I go about repartioning ? thru VISTA DISK Management | 19:13 |
| MetaPhaze | ok i guess ill reboot and look for this gparted tool | 19:13 |
| MkS2ExE | I have tried too make a fresh install but I got same error | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: under windows there may be a way to resize your D: leaving part of the Disk at the end unallocated. the ubuntu installer can then use the unallocated space. | 19:13 |
| linear4 | lea123, When you install ubuntu it will ask you to partition. Windows Vista can't partition to anything other than like NTFS and FAT I think. | 19:13 |
| wolfric_ | if i take read permissions off "other" off sshd_config, should sshd still work? It's under nogroup and the file's group is root however it still seems to work when i stop and start it back up again. | 19:13 |
| Phail_Quail | lea123, you don't use Windows anything. | 19:13 |

| HohoGo | Hello there! I've just downloaded the last release 10.10 and I discovered that it doesn't work correctly with my wireless card. The wi-fi router is 6/7m far and signal is good. 2.6.32-25 works correctly and it connects successfully. By 2.6.35 it tries to connect, but it isn't able to do it: to made the laptop connected i have to come with it near the router and then, i can come back to the original position an surf the net. Can you solv | 19:14 |

| Tayne | thequebecguy: What do you mean won't let you advance? | 19:20 |
| gdr86 | can someone help me | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: OR if you resize the windows partitions somehow. Ubuntu can easially use the unallocated space. | 19:20 |
| thequebecguy | I fill out the page but the forword button is still grey | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: befor letting Ubuntu resize. You should defrag the windows drives. and make backups of course. | 19:20 |
| HohoGo | Dr_Willis there's nothing about my wireless card: it doesn't work when i'm a bit far from the router but linux recognizes it... with 10.04's kernel even if i'm 6m far from router i am able to connect, with 10.10 it finds wi-fi connection but it can't connect from that position | 19:20 |
| dborba | hey - anyone know how to get beep to work on a shell? | 19:21 |

| Tayne | thequebecguy: Something must not be filled out correctly. Make sure your username is in lowercase? | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: the installer can resize the D: and make linux partitions.. so 'yes' it will get repartioned... | 19:21 |
| thequebecguy | Thanks | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: You dont install linux to NTFS/vfat some how or another. proper linux partitions will need to be made. The installer can do this. Or you can do it and help the installer out. | 19:22 |
| Licuadora | Now, everytime I restart it, the Network manager wont detect any signal, it is working in my Netbook though | 19:22 |
| lea123 | Dr_Willis : What if I don't require any further partion I am happy to allocate 125 GB to Ubuntu | 19:22 |
| alex_mayorga | Hi! Looks like I have bug 476866 can someone help me to enable two finger scrolling? | 19:23 |
| mrnelson1986 | lea123, it is best to have a seperate /home partition so if you need to fresh install your ubuntu distribution to a new version then you don't lose all of your files and settings | 19:23 |
| lea123 | Dr_Willis Are you saying the ubuntu installer would still need to be given the original partions 125 each so that it partitions in the linux format | 19:24 |

| happyhessian | quick regex question: how would i search for strings that begin with word ABC and end with word XYZ with anything in the middle? | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: you can tell the installer to make partitiosn whatever size you want. | 19:25 |
| creature | The system is still "live", in that I can switch between VTs and it responds to caps lock, etc. | 19:25 |
| dborba | happyhessian, ^ABC.*XYZ$ | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: thus the use of my term 'resize' several times. :) it can resuize the 125 down to say.. 60, and give the rest to Ubuntu | 19:26 |
| lea123 | Dr_Willis I understand that , but do I need to re-partion it in linux is my question for the same sizes thats the thing that I am trying to understand | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: you are sort of making this way too hard. The installer can do this all for you basically. You may want to change the sizes to suite your needs. | 19:26 |
| dborba | happyhessian, in the future do go to an appropriate channel though... #regex is a good place for regex help | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: the installer WILL repartiion the drive. via resizeing the windows partition. | 19:27 |

| gdr86 | mmm...i try now... | 19:29 |
| lea123 | Dr_Willis . Thats the thing I don't want to make it smaller I am happy to give it all the 125 GB it has in C and D. Do you see my point ? | 19:29 |
| lea123 | I meant I don't want to resize D at all | 19:29 |
| mrnelson1986 | lea123, you want to eliminate your windows partition? | 19:29 |
| lea123 | NO I don't want to eliminate it | 19:29 |
| mrnelson1986 | lea123, you have a C: with the OS (windows) on it already, and a D: with space that you want to use for linux? | 19:30 |

| Muscovy | Is there a way to make the Update Manager install all updates on its own? | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: then tell the installer to use all of D: | 19:31 |

| blade | Muscovy : do you want to automate the update process? | 19:31 |
| HohoGo | no one answered me :( bye bye | 19:31 |
| Muscovy | blade: yes | 19:31 |
| lea123 | I will go with the former option asking Linux to use all of D | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: if you are using all 125gb of D: to linux.. you are deleteing D: basically | 19:32 |
| lea123 | How ?? | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: you want to save the data on d:? | 19:32 |
| jameswv | none of my ./ files will run it just gives me No such file or directory | 19:32 |
| lea123 | data as in ? | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | lea123: the use of the term D: is not a linxu term.. you will NOt see the linux drives under windows.. they dont use C: D: letters. | 19:32 |

| Dr_Willis | lea123: data as in files on D: now... | 19:32 |

| jameswv | nope | 19:33 |
| jameswv | everything is here | 19:33 |
| mrnelson1986 | lea123, you will want ot move whatever is on the D: partition to your C: partition so you don't lose your data (if any), second step is to boot into the live cd, use an application called gParted under administration-->system and delete the partition D: using gParted, third step is to install ubuntu and tell it to install side by side with existing OS | 19:33 |
| jameswv | it makes no sense | 19:33 |

| mrnelson1986 | Megabyte, it should be under the bullets & numbering options --> Outline (tab) | 19:42 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, your window manager might have crashed, did you try running metacity or metacity --replace? | 19:42 |
| vigge_sWe | dborba: I can't as only xchat's textarea has focus | 19:42 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, press alt+f2 and type in metacity | 19:42 |
| Tayne | vigge_sWe: Logout and back in, or reboot | 19:42 |
| vigge_sWe | no matter how much I try to select another text area, this one is always focused | 19:42 |
| mrnelson1986 | know how to automatically connect to wifi? like before login so that if I reboot a cpu from teamviewer i will be able to connect via ssh and login? using ubuntu 10.10 | 19:43 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, alt+f2 should auto focus its input line | 19:43 |
| vigge_sWe | the alt key seems disabled for some reason... alt+f2 does nothing at all | 19:43 |
| blade | Muscovy : go to system->administration->software sources | 19:43 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, wtf :\ | 19:43 |
| MetaPhaze | Subsystem1: I did what you said not working | 19:43 |
| Muscovy | blade: it's open | 19:43 |
| blade | select update tab and select download all updates in background | 19:43 |
| MetaPhaze | Subsystem1: I am running Ubuntu on the USB drive, but using gparted will not show the device I want to install to | 19:43 |
| vigge_sWe | yeah I know, I think there are some poltergeist in my computer lolol | 19:44 |
| Muscovy | Ok. | 19:44 |
| Tayne | vigge_sWe: Ctrl+Alt+Del. Reboot | 19:44 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, if you're keys are gone you really gotta log back in or reboot... | 19:44 |
| magicianlord | what's better: lucid or maverick? | 19:44 |
| vigge_sWe | hmm I'll wait for the render to complete first, don't wanna lose 2 hours of rendered work lol | 19:44 |
| Tayne | magicianlord: Depends, do you want Long-Term-Support? | 19:44 |
| Subsystem1 | MetaPhaze: let's chat in a private conversation. | 19:44 |
| magicianlord | Tayne: lts is only 6 months longer than any other release, so no, it doesnt matter | 19:45 |
| === Lenin_Cat is now known as EqualQuality | ||
| Tayne | magicianlord: Then just go with the latest release | 19:45 |
| magicianlord | word. | 19:45 |
| === EqualQuality is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| mrnelson1986 | magicianlord, the only difference is that LTS is a bit more stable, and is designed more for production machines...there are fewer developmental updates to make your machine unstable | 19:46 |
| Megabyte | mrnelson1986: In the meanwhile I am trying to get my hands on lotus symphony and libreoffice | 19:46 |
| mrnelson1986 | magicianlord, maverick will have "newer" apps but may cause your machine to be unstable | 19:46 |
| magicianlord | mrnelson1986: why | 19:46 |
| Megabyte | mrnelson1986: Would you consider libreoffice technically better than OO at this point? | 19:46 |
| JackStoner | Megabyte, interested in symphony?? | 19:47 |
| magicianlord | is libreoffice available in the repo | 19:47 |
| mrnelson1986 | Megabyte, there is almost no difference at this point, it is only in beta and no big changes other than bug-fixes have been done | 19:47 |
| JackStoner | its a bit slow in starting | 19:47 |
| Megabyte | JackStoner: Anything free that will allow me to write decent documentation | 19:47 |
| Megabyte | JackStoner: Can I talk to you in private? | 19:47 |
| JackStoner | Megabyte, i suggest OO for now | 19:47 |
| mrnelson1986 | magicianlord, it is only available in .deb as a beta as far as i know at this time. | 19:47 |
| shadertest | just use vim and latex | 19:47 |
| JackStoner | sure thing | 19:48 |
| Tayne | lol VIM | 19:48 |
| vigge_sWe | dborba: terminal will autoexecute commands if there are more than one line of commands, right? | 19:48 |
| mrnelson1986 | Does anyone know how to automatically connect to wifi? like before login so that if I reboot a cpu from teamviewer i will be able to connect via ssh and login? using ubuntu 10.10 | 19:48 |
| thomas_s1h | what's the easiest way to set 16bit mode when there is no xorg.conf to begin with? (16bit to standard) | 19:48 |
| brubelsabs | IS there a way to replace the background (for printing) of a pdf? Tried pdftk (background,stamp) and also convert (-background white).. Any ideas? | 19:49 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, nope | 19:49 |
| marina | hello | 19:49 |
| eduardo_ | hi marina | 19:49 |
| magicianlord | mrnelson1986: what? 10.10 is stable | 19:49 |
| gbear14275 | quick question... lubuntu vs xubuntu... which is more efficient? I'm going to try and do an install today on a friends 7 year old laptop... wasn't sure which to go with | 19:49 |
| magicianlord | the only problem is that i cant install nvidia drivers offline or proper codecs | 19:49 |
| Gato_negro | hi my pc use edubuntu 10.04, i dont have xorg.conf. is it normal? | 19:49 |
| marina | where jockey stores firmware and driver when it downloads them? | 19:49 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, if you type in a command, press return, another command, press return - it will execute the second command when the first one is done if thats what you mean | 19:50 |
| brubelsabs | Gato_negro: yes | 19:50 |
| Spencer_ | help plz | 19:50 |
| maco | magicianlord: mrnelson1986 was referring to libreoffice i think | 19:50 |
| dborba | vigge_sWe, if they are on the same line you need to separate them with a ; or && to execute both as a single process | 19:50 |
| erUSUL | marina: /lib/modules/ and /lib/firmware/ | 19:50 |
| marina | oh tank you | 19:50 |
| MatBoy | nice !! reinstall of ubuntu made everything work normallu | 19:50 |
| Tayne | gbear14275: Lubuntu is lightweight, but buggier | 19:50 |
| MatBoy | *normally | 19:50 |
| mrnelson1986 | magicianlord, 10.10 is stable, but there are applications you can install that are slightly buggier than their LTS counterparts | 19:51 |
| magicianlord | maco: thanks | 19:51 |
| Tayne | gbear14275: Does it have to be a *buntu? | 19:51 |
| vigge_sWe | Well I remember when I used to follow some tutorials where there were more than one command, say 4 commands on newlines, I could just copy them and paste them and they would run without me having to press enter | 19:51 |
| === Pinna is now known as Gangster | ||
| vigge_sWe | but I might remember wrong | 19:51 |
| magicianlord | mrnelson1986: vlc or firefox? | 19:51 |
| brubelsabs | anyone? | 19:51 |
| gbear14275 | tayne, first time linux user... figured something more noob related would be a good choice | 19:51 |
| gbear14275 | mint and puppy might be options too | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | vigge_sWe: becouse you copied the newline char too | 19:51 |
| gbear14275 | wish the new mint was out already | 19:51 |
| vigge_sWe | so if I copy that metacity --replace and a newline char, it would run on paste? | 19:52 |
| Tayne | gbear14275: I would try xubuntu, it's still lightweight and will run fine, and is less buggy. | 19:52 |
| vigge_sWe | because I can paste commands, but I can't press enter | 19:52 |
| gbear14275 | Tayne: what were you thinking !buntu wise? | 19:52 |
| Gato_negro | I want play some games, my video card drivers are active im not using them, how active them? | 19:52 |
| erUSUL | Gato_negro: system>admin...>hardware drivers | 19:52 |
| Tayne | gbear14275: Xubuntu. Remember to let him know he can try them all though. | 19:53 |
| alberto | The thing is I can't completely control vlc with my remote, because not every command in .lircrc works. | 19:53 |
| === sub_ is now known as Guest68257 | ||
| mrnelson1986 | magicianlord, i'm not sure, it's just what i've read: that maverick is for more experimental apps and the LTS is for commercial machines and designed to be more stable, many apps won't add their latest features to the LTS until they are proven 100% stable | 19:53 |
| brubelsabs | bye, then :/ | 19:53 |
| gbear14275 | yeah, but for a new user... wouldn't know how to do that | 19:53 |
| gbear14275 | just introduced him to the idea of alternative OS's last week | 19:53 |
| Tayne | gbear14275: Do you have some experience installing? | 19:53 |
| MetaPhaze | Need some helping installing Ubuntu, Ubuntu can not find the drive I have connected to Marvell adapter | 19:54 |
| glaucous | Thinking about reformating most of my partitions. Right now I have / on SSD, and /home on HDD. Think I'll set /boot, / and /home on SSD, and /var on HDD. The thing about /home is that I have mostly configs, and no real storage there (movies, music on HDD). /home on SSD would then make sense? | 19:54 |
| vigge_sWe | yay | 19:54 |
| vigge_sWe | I fixed it | 19:54 |
| gbear14275 | Tayne: I've done installs... what skillsets are you thinking of? dual/triple boot? | 19:54 |
| Gato_negro | i cant use muy video card drivers, they are actived but not im not using them | 19:54 |
| Tayne | gbear14275: H/O let me PM you. | 19:55 |
| vigge_sWe | copied the command into this textfield, added a newline char, and pasted it in the terminal | 19:55 |
| vigge_sWe | it worked :D | 19:55 |

| Nattgew | smalls: do they not show up in the search? | 20:01 |

| ubuntu_wtf | on two different machines | 20:02 |
| magicianlord | brb | 20:02 |
| mrnelson1986 | smalls, you can install the desktop version and add the unity interface on top of it if you need the netbook interface | 20:02 |
| Nattgew | smalls: if all else fails, you should be able to find the installation in ~.wine | 20:02 |

| MetaPhaze | I saw a bunch of bug reports on Marvell adapters, but it is fixed...or so it says back with 9.04 | 20:03 |

| anygivenname | how do I restore the network manager & language icons onto the panel ? | 20:05 |
| micha100 | Nattgew not a one. I click sync to libraby from my iphone(mobile device) and it does nothing. | 20:05 |
| coz_ | anygivenname, try nm-applet --sm-disable | 20:05 |
| smalls | mrnelson1986 haven't checked yet. i just grabbed the netbook version because I assumed it worked better with it. | 20:06 |
| blade_ | anygivenname : right click on panel -> add to panel | 20:06 |
| Nattgew | micha100: you can try running rhythmbox from a terminal and seeing if it gives an error | 20:06 |

| FunkyDude | thanks MetaPhaze | 20:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | smalls, i noticed that "notepad" from wine shows up in my Applications and Search results under Unity. Perhaps logging out and back in "might" resolve your wine installed applications showing up (or maybe it won't help at all - then i'd recommend making shortcuts/launchers somewhere) Best of luck. | 20:07 |

| lydgate | i just updated from 9.10 to 10.10 and had some problems with grub, so i went into livecd chroot and upgraded to grub2. got it to boot, but it didn't like my /boot line's uuid, so i had to switch back to /dev/sda format. now in the OS it's still missing a uuid for /boot | 20:08 |
| lydgate | why is this? uuidd -r also gives an error | 20:08 |
| coz_ | FunkyDude, just type clear in the terminal hit enter | 20:08 |

| teadict | so I know it's pretty natural and heard this happens but never stroke me until now so I'm asking 'cuz I have no clue: when booting, the dots in 10.04 hang and the only thing I can do is press the power button (and the system hangs) | 20:11 |
| XaeroX | compilation is stuck on 99% for past 25 minutes of the test version of Alienware Linux based off Ubuntu | 20:11 |
| sdwrage | My distro is 10.10 for the problem above | 20:11 |
| teadict | *and the system halts | 20:11 |
| Subsystem1 | this is very dissapointing | 20:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | lydgate, check the current UUIDs with the command "sudo blkid" and compare to the error message from grub you are getting. i bet they don't match (i've seen some uuid-voodoo before with changing ids) | 20:12 |
| Elise | I was running Ubuntu on my old Toshiba Satellite. But my computer broke in at least 2 ways. I miss Ubuntu. | 20:12 |
| ubuntu_wtf | blade_: ill give it a shot | 20:13 |

| Nattgew | teadict: at boot can you choose safe mode? | 20:13 |
| Elise | I live and work near Stanford in California. | 20:13 |
| magicianlord | can you just replace /dev/sda with uuids adn re3boot? | 20:13 |
| teadict | Nattgew: recovery mode? yes I can | 20:13 |
| sdwrage | Can anyone help me with my issue above? | 20:13 |
| teadict | Nattgew: you have a workaround for this in there? | 20:14 |
| MetaPhaze | sdwrage I would google the hardware in question | 20:14 |
| bogart | I upgraded my netbook (Aspire One 250) to 10.10 and X windows has stopped working since the upgrade. "no screens found". any idea how to fix this? | 20:14 |
| XaeroX | Fuck i told them we should have based it off of Mandriva! | 20:14 |
| sdwrage | MetaPhaze, I always try that first | 20:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | magicianlord, if you're talking about lydgate's issue, technically yes - you can use the old /dev/sdX# instead of the UUID | 20:14 |
| Nattgew | teadict: not sure, it might help to figure out what's hanging it | 20:14 |
| Elise | My Toshiba won't even turn on. The power cord works. The power cord's light comes on. | 20:14 |
| teadict | Nattgew: will try | 20:14 |
| sdwrage | Google -> Forums -> IRC | 20:14 |
| magicianlord | ZykoticK9: my fstab has sda1 and sda2. should i replace both lines with uuid=xxxx ? | 20:15 |
| sdwrage | MetaPhaze, would be a lot easier if the manufacturer would give the actual model of touchpad -_- | 20:15 |
| Elise | Hello out there. I am new to IRC. | 20:15 |

| Tayne | Elise: welcome to the wonderful world of IRC | 20:16 |
| teadict | Nattgew: well, nothing failed or threw errors in the bootscroll, I got the text login | 20:16 |
| lydgate | ZykoticK9: yes, there's a missing UUID, no /dev/sda1 (which is /boot) | 20:16 |
| MetaPhaze | sdwrage I understand, would love to help, as soon as I can get me issues resolved :) | 20:16 |
| lydgate | ZykoticK9: so i switched fstab to use /dev/sda1. but i must say i'm curious why it has no uuid | 20:16 |
| MetaPhaze | may not have drivers though for your touchpad | 20:16 |

| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: thanks.. that did half of what I wanted.. It just says driver=nvidia but not the version of the driver.. | 20:30 |
| bogart | ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll give that a try. | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Scunizi: nvidia-settings will tell you that | 20:30 |

| Scunizi | ActionParsnip: AH! should have figured that one out on my own. | 20:31 |
| gbear14275 | ActionParsnip: something that will work with the specs... its a pentium II with 128 mb | 20:31 |

| neomorphy | who has little time to explain me something? prv me | 20:31 |
| MetaPhaze | if your running a PII with 128mb of RAM you need to look for another distro | 20:32 |
| MetaPhaze | I suggest slackware | 20:32 |
| Scunizi | ZykoticK9: true.. I've added the nvidia-vdpau PPA which has the 25x driver.. unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to update to it for some reason. | 20:32 |
| MetaPhaze | Ubuntu is a "Desktop Replacement" for Windows, requires better hardware | 20:32 |
| MetaPhaze | if not just don't install xserver and use term only | 20:32 |

| ActionParsnip | MetaPhaze: XP on 256Mb will be slow, Lubuntu on 256Mb will run great | 20:34 |
| Scunizi | ZykoticK9: nope.. 10.04 Kubuntu.. I did get the new driver to work on my 10.10 Ubuntu box with a little wrangling.. | 20:34 |
| MetaPhaze | XP for Legacy PC's | 20:34 |
| MetaPhaze | it is not WinXP | 20:34 |

| MetaPhaze | ActionParsnip: can you get me in touch with someone who may know? | 20:41 |
| Scunizi | KatronixSerf: you may not be able to because most router can see that you've left the network to dyndns and came back again.. they think it's spoofing or something similar.. however you might be able to ssh -X into a box outside your lan and run FF as a test.. or call a buddy. | 20:41 |

| timo | Monotoko: yes, but your rule says to drop packets that are going out from port 80 on your network | 21:04 |
| timo | Monotoko: not going out to port 80 | 21:04 |

| hblount | CrimsonIdol: i have been messing around trying to make a usb to boot a mac laptop with but it doesnt work with mac. so i got what i guess is mac/powerpc version iso but startup disc creator is not reading it | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hblount: did you md5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 21:05 |
| hblount | ActionParsnip: i dont know how sorry im noob | 21:06 |

| scotsguy | can i do upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 i did a upgrade from 8 first or will i need do clean install | 21:07 |
| hblount | ActionParsnip: startup disc creator can read another iso i got that i tried but i guess its not mac version because i used it and it didnt work on mac laptop but it did on my laptop and pc. so i got what i guess is mac version but cant seem to make startup disc with it | 21:07 |

| swordz | Hi. I upgraded to 10.10 when it came out. My computer never worked properly since, in particular the wireless didn't connect with the newest kernel (35-22) so I was always booting into 32-25, which was annoying. I finally decided to re-install from scratch this weekend, and most of the problems have gone. | 21:11 |
| swordz | EXCEPT for the wireless problem | 21:11 |
| Scunizi | galadude: imagemagick is lightweight but cli only... Eye of Gnome is built in and works fine.. if you have a lot of pics then I recommend trying digikam as your cataloging software, editing, touchup etc.. when shooting RAW then Darktable for initial non-distructive processing . | 21:11 |
| rivenathos | galadude: This is with Ubuntu 10.10 with Shotwell installed. | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeXr0: thats what a touchpad is, just a mouse attached to the system... | 21:12 |
| swordz | I'm currently using the same wireless dongle on my laptop, ubuntu 10.10, no problem | 21:12 |
| swordz | So what could the problem be? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | swordz: then you are using lucid still if you use 32-25 kernel | 21:13 |
| FunkyDude | cheese works, funny name for an app | 21:13 |
| ZeXr0 | ActionParsnip: Well it seems that Ubuntu didn't detect mytouchpad properly, and sees it as a Logitech USB mouse... I'll reboot and see if it makes any difference | 21:13 |
| scotsguy | any point my to 10.10 download iver tried a few geting error when machine it due to restart after install | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: it what people say when you take a picture..."say cheese!" etc | 21:13 |
| swordz | ActionParsnip: Except it looks and says it's 10.10 | 21:13 |
| CanadianPirate | Does anyone know if the psmouse bug is fixed in 2.6.36? | 21:13 |
| swordz | The point remains though | 21:13 |
| Scunizi | FunkyDude: cheese will also give you the "address" of the cam.. then with that you can also view and record with vlc.. | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | swordz: if you run: lsb_release -c it should say Lucid | 21:13 |
| hblount | ActionParsnip: md5 matches. its not like the odds are that it is corrupt. so what can be the problem? | 21:13 |
| Scunizi | FunkyDude: sometimes the address is simply /dev/video0 | 21:14 |
| swordz | because I did a full re-install, I now don't have the 32-25 kernel, so that's no longer possible | 21:14 |
| FunkyDude | but does cheese install drivers? i'm actually trying to use a flash app with my webcam | 21:14 |
| swordz | Lucid isn't the problem, I want to get Maverik working | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hblount: boot to the USB and run the USB consistency check. "odds" arent acceptable in computers, the image needs to be 100% perfect | 21:14 |
| pfweb | got it: find -type l -xtype d | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | FunkyDude: i believe it installs some | 21:14 |

| MetaPhaze | ActionParsnip: negative | 22:27 |
| guntbert | wage: disable the one ppa you removed/readded | 22:27 |
| MorpheusXNL | can anyone tell me where to put manually downloaded software | 22:27 |
| houdini | CrimsonIdol: I also though so, but Ubuntu try to install it every regulary update | 22:27 |
| Hadi | How to list all the drivers that i can mount | 22:27 |
| datta | how can i set the output of the file? | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | MorpheusXNL: i put mine in /opt but it can go anywhere outside of /opt | 22:27 |
| datta | i do not know at all how to rip a vcd | 22:27 |
| nothingspecial | MorpheusXNL In your $PATH | 22:28 |
| LOGAN | is there an easy way to make personal live CD with apps like Pidgin,VLC, Firefox, etc. and uses Gnome to have the more wellknown apps? | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !remaster | LOGAN | 22:28 |
| ubottu | LOGAN: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 22:28 |
| CrimsonIdol | houdini, hmmmf! | 22:28 |
| MorpheusXNL | actionparnship is this a default location? | 22:28 |
| MorpheusXNL | nothingspecial what is my $path | 22:28 |
| LOGAN | because more and more it seems Ubuntu is dropping apps I know and also use on Windows in vafour of more unknown to me apps | 22:28 |
| Hadi | How to list the drivers that i can mount on ubuntu | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | MorpheusXNL: there is no default, as long as the binary is in $PATH it wil be universaly launchable | 22:29 |
| nothingspecial | MorpheusXNL: type echo $PATH | 22:29 |
| dominicdinada | btw chromium was working so i dumped it and going to google-chrome-stable | 22:29 |
| Hadi | How to list the drivers that i can mount on ubuntu | 22:29 |
| Hadi | How to list the drivers that i can mount on ubuntu | 22:29 |
| houdini | CrimsonIdol: 1 moment, I'll show u | 22:29 |
| wage | guntbert: that is not the latest version, its got a bunch of bugs that are now fixed in 0.7.0 | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | LOGAN: the link ubottu gave shows how you can customize the iso | 22:29 |
| MorpheusXNL | actionparnship when i echo $path i don get /opt in that list | 22:30 |
| LOGAN | ActionParsnip: thanks, I wish ubuntu would keep the more wellknown apps instead of changing to the new ones | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | LOGAN: its the nature of the beast, if you install with minimal instead, you can install what you want | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | MorpheusXNL: use tab to complete nicks dude | 22:30 |
| MetaPhaze | ActionParsnip: is there anyway to give ubuntu installer a flag to attempt to install to /dev/sdd ? | 22:30 |
| guntbert | wage: sorry, apparently that ppa brings in new dependencies without resolving them properly - with ppas you are mostly on your own... | 22:31 |
| dominicdinada | sweet chrome kept all my bookmarks, plugins etc just not stored passwords | 22:31 |
| MorpheusXNL | ActionParsnip: sorry man | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MorpheusXNL: if you install the app there then create a symlink from one of the folders in PATH to the binary in /opt | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: google-chrome is a different binary, so you currently have both installed | 22:31 |
| LOGAN | well installing as live to use to show friends is a hassle. else they see apps they use on Windows and are more interested than the more unknown apps | 22:31 |
| wage | guntbert: ok, i was hoping there'd be a simple way to install python-gnome2-desktop to fix it or something | 22:31 |
| S0NAR | greetings all | 22:31 |
| MorpheusXNL | ActionParsnip: will try that thank you | 22:31 |
| nothingspecial | MorpheusXNL: MorpheusXNL You can put them where you like, but if you want to run them from anywhere, you have to put them in a directory in your path or add the directory they are in to your path | 22:31 |
| LOGAN | they ask me where is pidgin, where is vlc | 22:32 |
| guntbert | wage: ask the author of that ppa where to get it - probably another ppa :-)) | 22:32 |
| wage | guntbert: ok thanks | 22:32 |
| S0NAR | anyone know the command to find out what the ethernet driver version is for my network card? | 22:32 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: no i dumped chromium, but 10.10 right after it was released killed the libmoon dependancies both chrome/chromium depend on and it would fail to start | 22:32 |
| guntbert | wage: no problem :) | 22:32 |
| LOGAN | maybe I should find another live cd which omits all apps, just have the OS | 22:32 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: google for Christ's sakes | 22:33 |
| dominicdinada | testing out kate | 22:33 |
| nothingspecial | LOGAN: minimal iso, then install what you want | 22:33 |
| houdini | CrimsonIdol: Here it is, I make screenshot: http://rghost.ru/3107542/image.png. Actually what's mean this sign "!" in synaptic? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | LOGAN: like I said, the minimal ISO does that | 22:33 |
| S0NAR | MetaPhaze yeah, I thought of that one already. | 22:33 |
| S0NAR | no luck | 22:34 |
| S0NAR | thanks for the non-answer | 22:34 |
| LOGAN | and in the future, can one then also easily ditch Unity and get Gnome? or is there a Gubuntu | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | houdini: click a package and see what the bottom part says | 22:34 |
| dominicdinada | sigh kate is still busted | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: use a different editor, there is more than kate | 22:34 |
| nothingspecial | LOGAN: One can ditch and install whatever they like | 22:34 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: yes but imho it is the best linux editor | 22:35 |
| houdini | ActionParsnip: it says nothing more, then package description. By the way do you know how to disable openjdk update? | 22:35 |
| dominicdinada | if not might as well wine notepad++ | 22:35 |
| djs | Anyone know how 10.04 or 10.10 runs on PowerPC Apple Powerbook G4? I had issues with trackpad sensitivity on a similar machine years ago with an earlier Ubuntu. | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: well its bust so currently not | 22:35 |
| LOGAN | nothingspecial: yeah but don't forget starting live CD its difficult to show friends | 22:36 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: just on network files | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | houdini: if you run: dpkg -l | grep java what is output, use http://pastebin.com to give the output | 22:36 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: lshw | 22:36 |
| MetaPhaze | May I suggest Using Linux by QUE? | 22:36 |
| LOGAN | hmm instructions to make custom CD seems like work for programmers, lol | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | LOGAN: well if you think about what you are doing, its not going to be a walk in the park | 22:37 |
| dominicdinada | djs: try the live CD | 22:37 |
| nothingspecial | LOGAN: But fun, if you like that sort of thing | 22:37 |
| LOGAN | ActionParsnip: well I see its not for me. I stick to 3D modeling | 22:37 |
| dominicdinada | djs: that way you make no changes till you test drive the app | 22:38 |
| houdini | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/ZXjHNFQj it seems I still have openjdk | 22:38 |
| LOGAN | thanks for the suggestions. maybe I can find another solution | 22:39 |
| S0NAR | MetaPhaze thanks man | 22:39 |
| MetaPhaze | NEED HELP: How can I tell Ubuntu to install to a drive the installer does not see, but Ubuntu livecd sees under gpart? | 22:39 |
| LOGAN | I probably will have to look for something else when Unity will become standard | 22:39 |
| houdini | ActionParsnip: do you think remove this openjdk pachages is a good idea? | 22:40 |
| galadude | so medibutu stops you from using certain codecs? how can i disable it? | 22:41 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: no problem bro | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | houdini: if you dont need it, i believe openoffice uses it | 22:41 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: seriously though if you want to understand your OS I strongly suggest Using LInux by QUE | 22:41 |
| MetaPhaze | Now can anyone help me? | 22:41 |
| houdini | ActionParsnip: openoffice it written in c++, it use java only for macros (as I remember) | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | houdini: the packages with rc instead of ii are removed but the config is still around | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | houdini: its still a dep in the packages | 22:42 |
| S0NAR | MetaPhaze I'll look into that for sure. Love the QUE line of books. | 22:42 |
| MetaPhaze | I read the 4th gen book like 10 years ago, was good then, I can only imagine the volume they have now | 22:42 |
| houdini | ActionParsnip: Will thx for help, I think I just leave them as is. Thx again | 22:43 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: since Linux is almost all CLI based | 22:43 |
| MetaPhaze | I STRONGLY suggest a book ;) | 22:43 |
| MetaPhaze | makes customizing kernels to your needs easy | 22:43 |
| delabencomo | LOGAN: put the apps u want on a usb stick | 22:43 |
| anygivenname | anyone into fail2ban? | 22:44 |
| MetaPhaze | Where can I find installing Ubuntu ADVANCED help? | 22:44 |
| hacker_kid | a google search turned up nothing, ubuntu is not detecting various removable storage devices, mp3 players, ebook readers, sd cards, all of which it detected and mounted as external hard drives in the past, any clues, im currently running 10.10 but had the same problem with 10.04 | 22:44 |
| greppy | anygivenname: what's the problem? | 22:44 |
| LOGAN | delabencomo: I hope there's a way for stand allone apps from usb stick that can share data with their windows counterparts to become platform independent | 22:44 |
| S0NAR | yeah, right on! I'm just getting back into Linux. Haven't played with it in 7yrs. It used to be that I couldn't get my Wireless card recognized not it's my ethernet. I'll get it sorted eventually tho. | 22:45 |
| greppy | hacker_kid: do any usb storage devices work? do they show up in the output of a dmesg? | 22:45 |
| anygivenname | guntbert: I found those error on the fail2ban.log after a system restart http://paste.ubuntu.com/523510/ | 22:45 |
| delabencomo | LOGAN: i would also put a swap partition on the usb live works better with it | 22:45 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: everytime I deal with linux i run in to the same issues | 22:45 |
| anygivenname | greppy: I found those error on the fail2ban.log after a system restart http://paste.ubuntu.com/523510/ | 22:45 |
| hacker_kid | greppy, thumb drives are still working and | 22:45 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: the first time I used linux was on RH5.1 and I had to write my own device driver for my modem ;) | 22:45 |
| hacker_kid | greppy, some of my external sd card readers still work, dmesg doesnt log anything when the devices are connected | 22:46 |
| MetaPhaze | just had to "hack" a device driver in order to get Ubuntu to see one of my SATA controllers, but still can't install to the drive that GPART can now see... | 22:46 |
| MetaPhaze | This more or less seems to be a kiddie channel | 22:46 |
| plouffe | my flash has gone nuts, the plugin keeps crashing or it just goes blank. Any known issues? | 22:46 |
| LOGAN | delabencomo: I actually meant on linux you start the linux version, on windows that version and all settings and data keep synced, so it doesn't matter what host PC has as OS | 22:46 |
| S0NAR | MetaPhaze the good old days eh.. hah | 22:47 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: What file system is on the drive? | 22:47 |
| LOGAN | on Windows an USB stick partition is almost not possible (I do have a stick that has 2 though) | 22:47 |
| greppy | anygivenname: that is... bizarre. | 22:47 |
| MetaPhaze | Yeah I should just go to the landfill and go steal an old AMD 450Mhz system :) | 22:47 |
| S0NAR | hah | 22:47 |
| plouffe | I can't find a flashplugin in the .mozilla folder. How can I findout what flash plugin FF is using? | 22:47 |
| delabencomo | LOGAN: use the usb along with the cd live | 22:48 |
| MetaPhaze | nothingspecial: the drive wasn't anything, I just built a partition structer in hopes to get Ubuntu to see the drive | 22:48 |
| plouffe | .macromedia I mean | 22:48 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: Try formatting it | 22:48 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: most fun I ever had was running RH5.x on an old AMD 450 (new at the time) and writing my own device drivers to get my modem to work so I could connect to the World Wide Web LOL! | 22:48 |
| MetaPhaze | nothingspecial: I did, 6GB linux-swap part, ext4 / partition, and ext4 /home partition | 22:49 |
| MetaPhaze | Ubuntu installer still doesn't see it | 22:49 |
| MetaPhaze | I'm wondering if this is an ubuntu issue, and I should just try Debian or Slackware | 22:49 |
| S0NAR | MetaPhaze I wish I got into Linux more back then I'd be better off today. | 22:50 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: as things move so fast, you just end up leaving Linux for the most part. It takes so long for Linux to catch up to features created in new releases of Windows | 22:50 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: Sounds like a bug, sorry for the missunderstanding. I have been able to install it to any drive i like on multiple machines. | 22:50 |
| glaucous | Do I need to mount /boot at startup in fstab? | 22:51 |
| MetaPhaze | S0NAR: Linux still can't play half of the "new release" video games...vid drivers are a year or so behind | 22:51 |
| Sir_Konrad | what app do you guys recommend for desktop gadgets? | 22:51 |
| MetaPhaze | nothingspecial: I can't see this drive, it took work to get it to even show up in GPART | 22:51 |
| guntbert | anygivenname: sorry, I have really no experience with fail2ban, please ask the channel again | 22:51 |
| greppy | MetaPhaze: that has more to do with the game developers than the OS. Try playing many of the games on OS X and you will have similar issues. | 22:51 |
| AudioTeknikk | hooolaaa.. long time since i have been here in.. im having trouble getting a wireless connection with a presario CQ60 laptop. I have followed the troubleshooting guide in the help files with no luck. The wireless seems to be installed correctly but no network is showing up in the network manager even though im siting right beside the router and my widows computer connects fine. | 22:51 |
| MetaPhaze | greppy: It has everything to do with userbase, Why make a Linux port when 5% of the buying population uses it? Just doesn't make sense | 22:51 |
| wgwinn | having an issue with the 10.04 LTS 32-bit install disc only showing a blank box with all buttons disabled for 'Prepare partitions', immediately after the 'set keyboard screen, on a 500gb sata hard drive. doesnt matter if the drives unformatted, partitionless, partitioned, it simply doesnt show up there; but the 250gb drive that used to be in the machine does show up fine. Any suggestions on the possible cause? | 22:52 |
| MetaPhaze | greppy: The only reason Quake was ported, was because of the userbase trying to accomplish something, and IDsoftware decided to jump in | 22:52 |
| Sir_Konrad | brb... | 22:52 |
| AudioTeknikk | if i try to add hidden network some alternatives show up strangely.. but they do not appear in the regular list in NM | 22:53 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: Try the alternate install or minimal iso | 22:53 |
| greppy | anygivenname: I'd start by double checking all of your config files for fail2ban, make sure they are right. try and stop and start of fail2ban to see if it duplicates. | 22:53 |
| d3vdil | is there any why to improve the typography on ubuntu ? | 22:53 |
| MetaPhaze | nothingspecial: c'mon now! if the default install won't see the drive, then the minimal or alt. wont see it with the complete driver list | 22:53 |
| d3vdil | way* | 22:53 |
| MetaPhaze | took me 3 hrs customizing driver to get the drive reconized in GPART so it should show up in Ubuntu install | 22:54 |
| irule | hey guys, how may I hide a backup partition from nautilus places and so forth? thanks | 22:54 |
| aeon-ltd | d3vdil: change fonts? | 22:54 |
| Pici | MetaPhaze: The alternate CD is needed to install on a RAID or LVM volume. | 22:54 |
| d3vdil | aeon-ltd: but must of them are so ugly | 22:54 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: ^^ | 22:54 |
| MorpheusXNL | ActionParsnip: i have put the folder in /usr/local/bin which is in my path but it does not recognize the command thunderbird when i run it | 22:54 |
| wgwinn | thing is, when i partitioned the drive in centos, i could mount and use them fine in the ubuntu live cd. .. So i'm thinking it cant be jsut a simple 'dont have chipset drivers' issue | 22:54 |
| MetaPhaze | Pici I don't want to install on a RAID VOLUME or LVM Volume | 22:55 |
| d3vdil | aeon-ltd: espeacialy if you compare windows7 with ubuntu | 22:55 |
| MetaPhaze | That is where Win7 is, I want to install on a SATA driver on a another controller | 22:55 |
| _ting_ | hi | 22:55 |
| _ting_ | I have some question about ubuntu for netbook | 22:55 |
| sweed | i get blank screen on every other boot (xubuntu maverick), any ideas? | 22:55 |
| _ting_ | i just downloaded it and burned in a CD | 22:56 |
| _ting_ | the point is when i run it as liveCD i cannot see the unity interface | 22:56 |
| Pici | MetaPhaze: Well the fact is that the Alt CD supports a wider range of hardware than the regular Live CD. You'd have more luck using that. | 22:56 |
| MetaPhaze | Pici, its no longer a hardware issue if I can see the controller and drive in GPART | 22:57 |
| MetaPhaze | I live in Wyoming, an NO that is not in California. I have Satellite Internet so I can't keep downloading distros | 22:57 |
| qwd | Ubuntu 10.04. How do you edit a bookmark in nautilus? My friend has my sftp server in the places list but can't find anywhere to edit the entry and change the ip address. | 22:58 |
| MetaPhaze | I should have started with Debian, or Slackware ... | 22:58 |
| Pici | qwd: Open a nautilus window and modify the bookmarks there. | 22:58 |
| MorpheusXNL | anyone, i put thunderbird folder in my path environment but when i type thunderbird it tells me not installed. | 22:58 |
| MetaPhaze | Does Ubuntu have a dev channel? | 22:59 |
| Pici | MetaPhaze: Thats the only advice I can give you at this point. | 22:59 |
| Pici | MetaPhaze: It does, but its not a support channel. | 22:59 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: Me too | 22:59 |
| MetaPhaze | Ubuntu seems like kiddie-special linux distro | 22:59 |
| gantrixx | so Ubuntu is switching to the Unity Desktop starting in 11.04 | 22:59 |
| AudioTeknikk | wireless network problem here! anyone please? | 23:00 |
| nothingspecial | MetaPhaze: So install Gentoo | 23:00 |
| gantrixx | I assume that they will offer GNOME but it won't be the default | 23:00 |
| Pici | !unity | gantrixx | 23:00 |
| ubottu | gantrixx: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity | 23:00 |
| MetaPhaze | If Alt.Ubuntu can fix the problems, I should be able to accomplish the same thing from Ubuntu standard install by loading proper device drivers which don't seem to be available | 23:00 |
| MetaPhaze | I can recompile a kernel\ | 23:00 |
| linear4 | shadertest :| | 23:01 |
| MetaPhaze | What is so distracting is 99% of the questions posted in this chan can be answered by a simple Google! search | 23:01 |
| Pici | MetaPhaze: The alternate CD is distributed separately for a reason. If you could do everything the same as on the Live CD, then there would be no reason for it. I'm not saying that it will definitely solve your problem, but it has a better chance. | 23:01 |
| greppy | !ot | 23:01 |
| ubottu | #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! | 23:01 |
| MACscr | i have a 1gb usb thumb drive that i want to throw an iso on so that i can install linux on a system that has no cdrom drive. Recommendations? Im trying unetbootin right now, but it doesnt seem to see my usb drive | 23:02 |
| MetaPhaze | Pici I understand, but knowing how linux works, I should be able to load a device driver fromt he Alt.CD into the kernel on the standard CD and resolve my issue | 23:02 |
| nothingspecial | MACscr: If you have ubuntu already, try usb-creator-gtk | 23:02 |
| Pici | MetaPhaze: Sure, try it. But if you already have the alternate CD, whats the problem with booting off of it? | 23:03 |
| MACscr | nothingspecial: yeah, im on ubuntu right now, but thats not the os im trying to install on this other system if that makes a diff | 23:03 |
| nothingspecial | MACscr: don`t know | 23:03 |

| ubuntu | Hi | 23:10 |
| Monotoko | macossex, i was just about to ask how to quit ;P | 23:10 |
| raziel_ | aaditya : thats your defaulte theme or you change it ? | 23:10 |
| macossex | hahaha | 23:10 |
| aaditya | raziel_: that little bar next to the tray is a result of gnome settings daemon not functioning as expect. This is default. | 23:10 |
| aaditya | raziel_: I've run into this before, but I can't recall how to fix this. | 23:10 |
| macossex | @aaditya maybe if you tried changing the theme? | 23:11 |
| aaditya | macossex: tried that, failed. | 23:11 |
| macossex | have you searched the ubuntu forums | 23:11 |
| aaditya | macossex: could you link me to a relevant post? | 23:11 |
| macossex | w8. i'll search for one | 23:11 |

| MorpheusXNL | greppy: even netbeans which in installed via packagemanager won't run if i type netbeans at my terminal | 23:13 |
| macossex | @aaditya before i search can you type this one terminal: "killall gnome-panel" (without the quotes) | 23:13 |
| sweed | i get blank screen on every other boot (xubuntu maverick), any ideas? | 23:13 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: it is in my path | 23:13 |

| MorpheusXNL | greppy: in this case thunderbird | 23:14 |
| greppy | MorpheusXNL: what is the first line of the script? | 23:14 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: let me check | 23:14 |
| dijonyummy | oh so its like the special key per os, like windows key for start menu, or apple key for apple? i see. thanks! it works, cool looking | 23:14 |
| Sean93 | how do i check what packages are installed in Ubuntu including ones that have been installed from .debs? | 23:15 |
| dijonyummy | compiz ring app switcher looks nice, i wonder if mac's can do that? | 23:15 |
| greppy | Sean93: dpkg -l | 23:15 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: #!/bin/sh | 23:15 |
| velko | Sean93, dpkg --get-selections | 23:15 |
| greppy | MorpheusXNL: does /bin/sh exist? (it should unless things are really broken.) | 23:16 |
| shadertest | ls -l /var/db/pkg/* | 23:16 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: exists | 23:16 |
| macossex | @aaditya did you try it? | 23:16 |
| greppy | MorpheusXNL: then you got me... do you get an error, or does it just return to a prompt? | 23:16 |
| MorpheusXNL | it tells me thunderbird is not installed and i need to apt-get it. while i put everything there by hand | 23:17 |
| macossex | when you get a new message on evolution does the envelope of the messaging menu turn green? | 23:17 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: just put my extracted thunderbird folder in /usr/local/bin | 23:18 |
| f_mulder | hey | 23:18 |
| f_mulder | I get the error message : libz.so.1 => not found" ... how do I solve this?? | 23:18 |
| macossex | anyone? | 23:18 |
| greppy | MorpheusXNL: wait... you just extracted the folder to /usr/local/bin? is /usr/local/bin/thunderbird a directory? | 23:18 |

| Jiwe | yes | 23:20 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: yes it is | 23:20 |
| grid_ | Jiwe: do you connecto to \\<ipadress\ or \\ubuntuname\ ? | 23:21 |
| greppy | MorpheusXNL: that's not the way to install thunderbird, I would suggest instead using 'sudo apt-get install thunderbird' | 23:21 |
| MorpheusXNL | greppy: i understand but i wanted to learn how to do it manually | 23:21 |
| Jiwe | What you mean? smbclient //windows7ip/ ? | 23:21 |
| shadertest | correct way: emerge -av thunderbird | 23:22 |
| MorpheusXNL | i can run thunderbird but i think i need to make a symlink file in the root of /usr/local/bin for path to find it | 23:22 |
| macossex | anyone here using evolution? | 23:22 |
| greppy | MorpheusXNL: then there should be a README file or install document in the folder. | 23:22 |
| glaucous | Could someone pastebin the original sources.list for maverick? Mine got corrupted. | 23:22 |
| grid_ | Jiwe: you shouldnt use the ip for the connection to the share, instead you must use just the name of your sambaserver, like \\workgroup\ | 23:22 |
| greppy | shadertest: wrong distro. | 23:22 |
| grid_ | in you smb.conf there is workgroup = name | 23:22 |
| macossex | noone? | 23:23 |
| f_mulder | veewsol, okey thanks will try that out | 23:23 |
| Dulak | MorpheusXNL: it won't work from the path the way you tried to install it, you need the thunderbird executable file in the folder on your path. The package puts a thunderbird script on the path that runs the binary executable for you, to get around the issue you ran into | 23:23 |
| Devilz_108 | Hey all:) | 23:23 |
| edbian | Devilz_108, whatup? | 23:24 |
| Devilz_108 | edbian, I got a little problem | 23:24 |
| f_mulder | velko, I get the message that I already have zlib1g installed on my comp .. | 23:24 |
| edbian | Devilz_108, What is it? | 23:24 |
| Dulak | MorpheusXNL: you could stick a script in /usr/local/bin called thunderbird that just runs /usr/local/bin/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin or whatever the executable is called | 23:24 |
| Devilz_108 | It seems that Ubuntu 10.10 isn't supporting my shitty graphics card | 23:24 |

| velko | f_mulder, well this symbolic link is installed as part of this package. if reinstalling the package does not work for your purpose i have no further advice for you | 23:27 |

| macossex | when you get a new message on evolution does the envelope on the top panel turn green? | 23:29 |
| Dulak | MorpheusXNL: I don't know, I installed thunderbird from a package and it just works. I was just suggesting a possible solution. The real solution is to delete that folder and use apt-get to install it the most correct way, but you don't want to hear that. | 23:29 |
| MorpheusXNL | Dulak | 23:29 |
| MorpheusXNL | Dulak: no this is a little challenge for me | 23:29 |
| macossex | when you get a new message on evolution does the envelope on the top panel turn green? | 23:30 |
| macossex | maybe i have to enable something? | 23:31 |
| macossex | anyone? | 23:32 |
| Dulak | MorpheusXNL: it's not a very good challenge, you learn to do what the packages were designed to avoid, a lot of filesystem work. I don't see how it will help you much. except show you how NOT to install stuff in the future. | 23:32 |
| tortoise | I'm getting a "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" message when I boot into ubuntu, can anyuone help me out? | 23:32 |
| tortoise | I literally have no idea what the problem could be | 23:33 |
| Devilz_108 | tortoise, What is your video card? | 23:33 |
| velko | macossex, what kind of question is this? does yours turn green? or do you wish it to turn green? what do you want to enable? | 23:33 |
| tortoise | I don't know the full model, but it's an ATI radeon, and I'm on 10.04 | 23:33 |
| edbian | tortoise, The problem is almost definitely your graphics driver. Have you set the resolution to something else? | 23:33 |
| tortoise | no | 23:33 |
| tortoise | I haven't changed anything with the graphics | 23:33 |
| macossex | @velko no it doesn't. that's why i'm asking | 23:34 |
| macossex | i don't know what the problem is | 23:34 |
| edbian | tortoise, you can use sudo lspci -k to view what driver the system has for your system. | 23:34 |
| velko | macossex, so enable something and the problem might go away | 23:34 |

| ndroftheline | any ideas on what might be wrong? | 23:35 |
| macossex | @do you know what i should enable? | 23:35 |
| tortoise | edbian, alright, let me check real quick | 23:35 |
| velko | macossex, do you know what the problem is? you just told me that you don't... | 23:35 |
| ndroftheline | how do i find out if there's an alternate drive for my dvdrw? | 23:35 |
| macossex | @velko of course i don't. if i knew i would have fixed it | 23:36 |

| MACscr | anyone in here used unetbootin? | 23:36 |
| aeon-ltd | MACscr: yes. | 23:37 |
| edbian | Devilz_108, I missed it. Lemme scroll back up and read. | 23:37 |
| aeon-ltd | !anyone | MACscr | 23:37 |
| ubottu | MACscr: 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? | 23:37 |
| ndroftheline | MACscr heck yes | 23:37 |
| Devilz_108 | edbian, Okay mate thanks | 23:37 |
| ndroftheline | i need to find a better driver for my dvd drive, where do i look | 23:37 |
| edbian | Devilz_108, I don't have an nvidia card. I've never gotten one working before. | 23:37 |
| Devilz_108 | The weird thing is that the video card works perfect in 10.04 but in 10.10 it doesn't work at all after the upgrade and the restart I get to a Terminal Screen , it seems that Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't support my video card | 23:38 |
| MACscr | aeon-ltd: well it was kind of an off topic question, thus why i started it that way. Anyway. I have a usb thumb drive (/dev/sde) that i have formated as fat32 (/dev/sde1). Which "device" should i select when creating the boot usb drive in Unetbootin | 23:38 |
| tortoise | edbian, Is there a command that will show just the graphics card? | 23:38 |
| edbian | Devilz_108, They probably are using a newer graphics driver (and are definitely using a newer kernel). | 23:38 |
| tortoise | The list is too long and I can't scroll up? | 23:38 |
| jtaylor3 | I'm trying to install drivers for a WMP54GS Broadcom BCM4318 14e4:4318 PCI wireless card. I have tried the ones with the windows install CD and some more that were listed on sourceforge. I have gotten through the Ndiswrapper instructions on help.ubuntu and when I try use 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' I get 'WARNING: All congif files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in... | 23:39 |
| jtaylor3 | ...a future release.' I get the same error again below that but 'ndiswrapper | 23:39 |
| jtaylor3 | instead of blascklist | 23:39 |
| edbian | tortoise, You can use grep to filter the output. sudo lspci -k | grep -A 3 -B 3 radeon | 23:39 |
| MACscr | i think i selected /dev/sde the first time and i think it error-ed out with "BOOTMGR is missing" | 23:39 |
| Devilz_108 | edbian, Whatever thanks mate I should be back to my main PC in few days and ditch this oldy , this one is really laggy | 23:39 |
| aeon-ltd | MACscr: /dev/sde, since your referring to the whole thumb drive | 23:39 |
| edbian | Devilz_108, Good luck! | 23:39 |
| MACscr | aeon-ltd: yeah, thats what i though, but then something is screwed up, not sure what | 23:39 |
| retfar | MACscr: yes u trying to boot xp from the usb | 23:40 |
| ndroftheline | MACscr sometimes i get bad writes from unetbootin in linux. for some reason in my experience the windows version makes a better one | 23:40 |
| MACscr | retfar: no, im trying to install nexenta on a server that has no cdrom drive | 23:40 |
| MACscr | i dont have windows. Ubuntu is my main os | 23:40 |

| Leijon7 | hello, got problems with graphics drivers, for both of my pcs | 23:41 |
| edbian | tortoise, pastebin lspci -k for me? | 23:41 |
| Devilz_108 | What is hte problem Leijon7 | 23:41 |
| tortoise | kk | 23:41 |
| Leijon7 | one is ATI Radeon 9200, the other one is nVidia Geforce 4 | 23:41 |
| Devilz_108 | Ubuntu 10.10 Leijon7 ? | 23:42 |
| Leijon7 | on both is the most irritating problem that i can't enable open GL | 23:42 |
| Leijon7 | yes, on the ATI | 23:42 |
| tortoise | edbian, actually, I'm on a different computer.. | 23:42 |
| retfar | MACscr: u running nexenta now | 23:42 |
| Devilz_108 | It must be something related to the drivers Leijon7 | 23:42 |
| dijonyummy | is there a way in terminal to quickly select a "word"/"phrase" like in intellij it you can press ctl-w and it selects a word, press again, then selects a bigger scope, like a phrase? | 23:42 |
| MACscr | retfar: nope. The server has debian on it now | 23:43 |
| edbian | tortoise, Then you're gonna have to read it! :) sudo lspci -k You can scroll back if you're cli only with shift pgup and shift pagedn | 23:43 |
| edbian | tortoise, If you're graphical you can tell your xterm to save more lines. | 23:43 |

| Leijon7 | the one with nVidia ran perfect, until i tried to install 10.10, then i could not manage to get the drivers to work when i reinstaled 10.04 | 23:43 |
| edbian | tortoise, However sudo lspci -k is not THAT big. | 23:43 |
| niteshade | need some help | 23:44 |
| tortoise | edbian, alright give me just a second | 23:44 |
| Devilz_108 | Leijon7, It seems we have a similar problems I'm here using 10.04 and Geforce 2 MX and I've upgraded then to 10.10 and then Ubuntu stopped working at all after I boot I just get into Terminal screen so I'm back to 10.04 and updating at the moment | 23:44 |
| Leijon7 | Devilz: yes, it is related to the drivers on both | 23:44 |
| Leijon7 | like me. only i didn't manage to get the nvidia drivers work after reinstall. | 23:45 |
| Devilz_108 | Weird you had them working before true? | 23:45 |
| MorpheusXNL | Dulak: i installed it via apt-get and still can not figure it out it is all over the system | 23:45 |
| Leijon7 | yes | 23:45 |

| Leijon7 | on the Nvidia, enabled but not in use....... | 23:47 |
| Devilz_108 | jtaylor3, It seems that no one got that wireless card here at the moment you can try to google your wireless card name and add Ubuntu driver in the end or post in the forum about it | 23:47 |
| Devilz_108 | Leijon7, Enable it | 23:47 |
| Devilz_108 | I mean activate it/use it | 23:48 |

| niteshade | i was afraid of that | 23:52 |
| Devilz_108 | MACscr, " For Ubuntu 10.10 there seems to be some problems with booting from USB. Best is to use a USB stick made with the latest Unetbootin (or a CD), not the version of Unetbootin found in 10.04. " | 23:52 |
