| ZykoticK9 | raulegastelo2, if you want nvidia to generate a new one, simply copy your xorg.conf to a safe place, then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and reboot to get nvidia's best attempt at figuring stuff out ;) | 00:02 |

| jimisrvrox | ZykoticK9: ok but there has to be a way that I can get X-Windows over ssh | 00:04 |
| nerdy_kid | john38: ok, it is usually better to use the version in the repos, so open up a terminal and run sudo apt-get install fglrx-amd-cccle. | 00:04 |
| Nayr | it fixes anything :D | 00:05 |

Any idea why fdisk sees the table properly, but gparted and the ubuntu installer only see 1 big blank drive? | 00:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | jimisrvrox, a buddy of mine sshed into his machine with X forwarding then started a local vnc connection. doubt it was rocket fast. good luck man. X forwarding is pretty cool, if you're using linux/unix clients. | 00:06 |
| raulegastelo2 | yes with tand with out the magic word | 00:06 |
| meatbun | i turned off update manager. it still pops out. how to fix it? | 00:06 |
| jimisrvrox | ZykoticK9: yeah Im using all Linux clients... | 00:06 |
| Sonic132 | raulegastelo2: Do it again with sudo before it. Then login and maybe whatever your trying to do will work. | 00:06 |
| nerdy_kid | john38: "sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle" without quotes should work. | 00:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | jimisrvrox, they just run the apps you need and not the whole interface... | 00:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | s/they/then | 00:06 |
| raulegastelo2 | Sonic, I did it with sudo and still it says permision denied | 00:07 |

| SpudDogg | Nayr, this problem is really bugging me | 00:14 |
| nerdy_kid | john38: ok, one more thing. do "sudo apt-get install fglrx" that _should_ be installed already, but I want to make sure | 00:14 |
| SpudDogg | ZykoticK9, again. thanks for nothing. i am a little on edge because of this problem i've never had before. please just ignore me. | 00:14 |
| jimisrvrox | ZykoticK9: ok well like I said Ive got me a special project going..Ive got two boxes host A with PCLOS on it and thus far ive got it to where I can SSH into my headless Ubuntu machine, but Id like to be able to SSH into my ubuntu machine from another local machine on my net say my laptop problem being is at my other machines I cant ping the eth0 on my Ubuntu box | 00:14 |
| Nayr | SpudDogg, I really have no idea, im sorry :( | 00:15 |
| mgwalk | or how do I check what is loaded on boot? | 00:15 |

| jimisrvrox | ZykoticK9: well Im guessing maybe because my Ubuntu machine is on a different net... | 00:16 |
| john38 | nerdy_kid, yeah i got another pc how do i use recovery mod | 00:16 |
| jimisrvrox | within my net but on a subnet | 00:16 |

| corrytonapple | Anyone? Is there a app for more features of Power Control? | 00:17 |

| LjL | sebsebseb: he was offtopic, but why do you assume if one uses ubuntu to watch a movie, it must be pirated? :( | 00:18 |
| john38 | nerdy_kid, ? | 00:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | jimisrvrox, that's more a routing issue i think - and i'm certainly not familiar enough with your network setup to make suggestions on that! but ya, until you can figure out the ping connection failure, i doubt ssh will work. best of luck man. | 00:18 |
| shcherbak | bruteforce_allti: only if you run script as superuser or via sudo | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | LjL: well that movie is out in the cinema here, not out on DVD yet, and probably counteries like USA as well | 00:18 |
| nerdy_kid | john38: now you need to make sure that "blacklist fglrx" is not in the file, and you need to add "blacklist radeon" to the end of the file. Then save it. | 00:19 |
| maco | shcherbak: well the command includes sudo so if ze enters hir password when it asks, thatd do it too | 00:19 |
| LjL | sebsebseb: oh... i see | 00:19 |
| shcherbak | bruteforce_allti: normally you do not run scripts with sudo | 00:19 |
| shcherbak | maco: you right | 00:19 |
| john38 | nerdy_kid, blacklist fglrx is not there | 00:20 |
| jimisrvrox | ZykoticK9: ok well setup is host A on PCLOS with wlan0 net connection and eth0 connected to Ubuntu eth0 via Xovr cable. Can ssh from pclos to ubuntu but do not have a net connection on ubuntu and I figure could be because there might not be ip_forwarding to the ubuntu box therefore cannot ping from other machines | 00:21 |
| john38 | nerdy_kid, i just typed blacklist radeon to the end of file | 00:21 |

| ZykoticK9 | jimisrvrox, sorry man - i have no idea - not that into networking with actual computers ;) good luck man, maybe someone else has a suggestion. | 00:21 |
| nerdy_kid | john38: now, what we have done is disabled the opensource driver. Just make sure you can use your other pc incase this one decides not to login. | 00:21 |

| blackshirt | no, issuing sudo telinit 1 | 01:00 |
| john38 | blackshirt, how and what do i do | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | John38: and then try install your ati installer, maybe firstly you have completely removed your opensource ati driver | 01:01 |
| john38 | blackshirt, i am not programmer | 01:01 |
| Garandir | Anyone know how/if I can change the default extraction folder in Archive Manager/File Roller? | 01:01 |
| blackshirt | john38: i'm not too :) | 01:02 |
| blackshirt | john38: telinit 1 to enter single mode | 01:02 |
| john38 | blackshirt, ? what is that | 01:02 |
| blackshirt | it will stoping your network service, x server and multiuser system | 01:03 |
| xidica | john38: single user mode is just that, only one user can be logged in, no network started, x server, etc | 01:03 |
| john38 | blackshirt, im not asking what that is im asking what to do where do i type | 01:03 |
| blackshirt | john38: exactly like xidica said | 01:03 |
| SpudDogg | Someone please help! I'm trying to install ubuntu, but the installer is not recognizing my partitions. sda1 has windows installed, sda2 and sda3 are both blank ext3 partitions and sda4 is swap. The installer sees the entire disk as blank space, but fdisk sees it properly. Anyone please help? | 01:03 |
| xidica | SpudDugg: please paste the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda | 01:04 |
| john38 | blackshirt, explain? | 01:04 |
| xidica | SpudDugg: also, have you created the partitions properly | 01:04 |
| blackshirt | john32: in your terminal.. | 01:04 |
| xidica | john38: login to terminal as your user and 'sudo su -' up to root, then do 'telinit 1' | 01:04 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: i used fdisk to create them, they should be fine. pasting the output. 1 sec | 01:04 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, message me instead so you don't get booted for pasting | 01:05 |
| xidica | well looks like john38 figured out how to go to single user mode ;) | 01:05 |

| xidica | SpudDogg, does fdisk give you a warning that you should be using parted or anything? | 01:06 |

| SpudDogg | xidica: yes it does. sorry, what do you mean what type of drive? sata? | 01:08 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, yes, what model and SATA/USB or what | 01:08 |
| honeypot | anyone can help with pdo_mysql plz | 01:08 |
| blackshirt | john: you have reboot it ? | 01:08 |
| Swian | ProfessorBacon what model microwave | 01:08 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: its a maxtor diamondmax something SATA 500GB | 01:09 |
| john38 | blackshirt, i typed sudo telinit 1 | 01:09 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, and what is the exact error? when you're in the installer it doesn't see the drive, or it doesn't see the partitions? you've followed something like http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9059/dual-boot-your-pre-installed-windows-7-computer-with-ubuntu/ ? | 01:09 |
| john38 | blackshirt, then it booted and froze | 01:09 |
| furi | my mouse input is gone after canceling an "input sha" command in a terminal. what is "sha"? frets on fire reccommended i use that command, but i got spooked after entering the command thinking it was the wrong place to put it, so i did ctrl+Z. how can i restore the mouse? | 01:09 |
| ProfessorBacon | Swian: Panasonic NNSD767B | 01:09 |
| blackshirt | john: it will drop you to single root mode | 01:10 |
| furi | sorry, i mean import sha | 01:10 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: i should also mention that i've had several ubuntu installs on this disk before, just not it starts giving me problems. it sees the drive, not the partitions. im sure i could re-make the partition layout, but i dont really want to screw up that windows install | 01:10 |
| Swian | Sorry ProfessorBacon, you'll need to go Fedora for that model | 01:10 |
| ProfessorBacon | blast! | 01:10 |
| ProfessorBacon | not fedora | 01:10 |
| john38 | blackshirt, yes but it froze | 01:10 |
| john38 | blackshirt, splash screen | 01:10 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, I'd say boot up into a liveCD, remove the linux partitions, use 'w' to write the changes to the drive ... then recreate them manually | 01:10 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, make sure you have your windows data backed up of course | 01:11 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: thats how i created them in the first palce | 01:11 |
| SpudDogg | place | 01:11 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, did you try manually mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdbX or whatever | 01:11 |
| furi | adding on to my issue, trying to use "import sha" again returns that the mouse is currently being used. also, the mouse is replaced by a + and i can't do anything except move it around. | 01:11 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, and manually mkfs'ing them and mkfs.swap on the swap partition? | 01:11 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: trying that now | 01:11 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, yeah may give that a shot, you using 10.4 or 10.10? | 01:11 |
| john38 | blackshirt, am i in single mode now | 01:12 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: 10.10 | 01:12 |
| cousteau`irssi | Is it possible to make the volume icon show a tooltip with the volume level? | 01:13 |
| john38 | blackshirt, ?? | 01:13 |
| blackshirt | john38: ok...install your ati driver installer, i assumed you have completely remove opensource ati driver | 01:13 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, my guess is if you do the fdisk with a proper 'w' after and it writes the partition table properly the installer should see it no problem | 01:13 |
| uLinux | im trying to "apply" this patch http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.irc.irssi.devel/317 and it's showing fatal: "corrupt patch at line 61" | 01:13 |
| furi | my mouse input is gone after canceling an "import sha" command in a terminal. what is "sha"? frets on fire reccommended i use that command, but i got spooked after entering the command thinking it was the wrong place to put it, so i did ctrl+Z. how can i restore the mouse? the cursor is replaced by a + and all i can do is move the mouse, clicking does nothing. | 01:13 |
| john38 | blackshirt, how do i make sure | 01:13 |
| marien | s | 01:14 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: yea, i think im going to have to re-make the partition table and re-install windows, thats all | 01:14 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: wish i could just do away with windows, but my wife isn't having it lol | 01:14 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, The windows re-install may not be necessary, likely you just need to delete the linux partitions, write it .... and then recreate the linux partitions and write it | 01:14 |
| blackshirt | opensource driver for ati video card is on xserver-xorg-video-ati packages, you must remove it before | 01:14 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, alternatively you could pick up a 500GB external USB drive and just install Ubuntu on that like I have | 01:14 |
| john38 | blackshirt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/524191/ | 01:15 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: i have drives laying around but have more ideas for them | 01:15 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: thanks man. just gonna dump it and start over | 01:15 |
| john38 | blackshirt, im running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid | 01:15 |
| blackshirt | john38: is your system 32 or 64 bit ?? | 01:16 |
| furi | my mouse input is gone after canceling an "import sha" command in a terminal. what is "sha"? frets on fire reccommended i use that command, but i got spooked after entering the command thinking it was the wrong place to put it, so i did ctrl+Z. how can i restore the mouse? the cursor is replaced by a + and all i can do is move the mouse, clicking does nothing. | 01:16 |
| john38 | blackshirt, what do i do now http://paste.ubuntu.com/524192/ | 01:16 |

| dmizer | in evolution calendar, the weekend is compressed to one day even though the "compress weekends in month view" is disabled in preferences. | 01:17 |
| xidica | SpudDogg, so it's working now? | 01:17 |
| blackshirt | john32: i think you get a wrong driver version, you should download 32 bit driver | 01:17 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: yea, dumped the partions and remade them all | 01:18 |
| john38 | blackshirt, it is | 01:18 |
| furi | xidica: import sha is in there | 01:18 |
| SpudDogg | xidica: i'll just reinstall windows for the wife, then fix grub afterwards | 01:18 |
| blackshirt | current ati driver installer is for 64 bit system | 01:18 |
| xidica | furi, have you tried a kill -9 on the 'import' process? | 01:18 |
| xidica | furi, you suspended it, you need to either resume it or kill it | 01:18 |
| furi | xidica: oh. | 01:18 |
| xidica | furi, it's probably holding a lock on your mouse or something | 01:18 |
| furi | xidica: alright, will try kill | 01:19 |
| xidica | furi, if that doesn't work ctrl-alt-f1 and get root and restart gdm | 01:19 |
| john38 | blackshirt, which ubuntu should i choose ubuntu/9.04 ....etc?? | 01:19 |
| furi | xidica: idk what number the ID is though | 01:19 |
| himanshu | john38: new one | 01:19 |
| himanshu | 10.04 | 01:19 |
| furi | xidica: there's one 5 digit number and two 4 digit ones on grep | 01:19 |
| xidica | furi, ps aux | grep import | awk '{print $2}' | 01:19 |
| xidica | that should give you the PID | 01:20 |
| blackshirt | No...if your ubuntu system installed is 32 bit, you should use 32 bit ati driver too | 01:20 |
| furi | xidica: okay, thanks, it's working again | 01:21 |
| himanshu | blackshirt: 10.04 doesn't support 32 bit ? | 01:21 |

| honeypot | anybody knows how to solve this | 01:21 |
| honeypot | it's noted as solved but I'm having same issue | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | EricThibault: if you have an ubuntu question here is the place to ask, there in #ubuntu-ops but it's not a support channel | 01:22 |

| honeypot | ok test34, anybody knows how to get pdo_mysql driver installed? | 01:23 |
| cousteau`irssi | john38: no, it has generated a package | 01:23 |
| john38 | so now i just gotta install them | 01:23 |
| cousteau`irssi | john38: what are you doing exactly? | 01:24 |
| EricThibault | @ActionParsnip : It's not a question about the Ubuntu products, it's about something else! ^^ | 01:24 |
| test34 | honeypot, sudo apt-get install php5-mysql ? | 01:24 |
| EricThibault | Are you an admin? | 01:24 |
| john38 | cousteau`irssi, installing ati propietary driver | 01:24 |
| Tm0 | Anyone have the long command that installs everything for a VPS on hand? | 01:24 |
| test34 | EricThibault, just ask if it's about #ubuntu | 01:24 |
| honeypot | I installed both of them separetely but just got pdo and not pdo_mysql | 01:25 |
| john38 | cousteau`irssi, these were the only options for installation http://paste.ubuntu.com/524194/ | 01:25 |
| blackshirt | himanshu: 10.04 is a just ubuntu release...its difference with 32 and 64 bit meaning | 01:25 |
| john38 | cousteau`irssi, i chose ubuntu/9.04 | 01:25 |
| UnholyTerror | Ok, Administration->Users and Groups doesn't appear to do anything. | 01:25 |
| test34 | honeypot, this is one package, not 2 (MySQL module for php5) | 01:25 |
| cousteau`irssi | john38: well... I'm not sure how it works, but if after seeing that nothing happens, you just double-click the resulting .deb to install it | 01:25 |
| honeypot | ok test34, I'll get back to you thanks | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | UnholyTerror: if you launch it with gksudo, you can modify any user | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | UnholyTerror: assuming the user launching it is a memeber of the admin group | 01:26 |
| john38 | cousteau`irssi, im getting errro later version already install or availabel in software channel | 01:26 |
| blackshirt | john38: are you still there ?? | 01:26 |
| queso | I just received an older, used hard drive from a friend -- it appears to work fine but I'd like to run a thorough check on it. What program could/should I use for this? | 01:26 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, settings don't seem to work... | 01:27 |
| Tm0 | Anyone have the long command that installs everything for a VPS on hand? | 01:27 |
| john38 | blackshirt, yeah | 01:27 |
| cousteau`irssi | john38: then better install that one | 01:27 |
| john38 | blackshirt, i got these option which one should i choose http://paste.ubuntu.com/524194/ | 01:27 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, I want to restrict a user from using the internet but no matter what, a connection is established and the user can browse. | 01:27 |
| blackshirt | john32: maybe you should download ati driver again | 01:28 |
| john38 | cousteau`irssi, i thougt proprietary drivers were diffrent not open | 01:28 |
| jjcm | Tm0: Kinda ambiguous | 01:28 |
| cousteau`irssi | john38: there are proprietary drivers on repositories | 01:28 |
| Tm0 | jjcm, the ubuntu version of this sudo yum -y install php php-cli php-mysql mysql mysql-server httpd httpd-manual bind | 01:28 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, I am making changes as root (unlock) as I am the admin. | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | UnholyTerror: you can edit the menu so it runs wih gksudo so its automatically unlocked | 01:29 |
| john38 | cousteau`irssi, what is ati repos | 01:30 |
| john38 | blackshirt, ?? | 01:30 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, is that going to be different than unlocking it? The changes I make are there... just not following the rules. | 01:30 |
| jjcm | Tm0: aptitude install php5 php5-cli php-mysql mysql-server apache2 libapache2-modphp5 bind9 | 01:30 |
| jjcm | Tm0: should do it | 01:31 |
| jjcm | Tm0: alternately, there's a lamp package IIRC | 01:31 |
| Tm0 | jjcm, thanks so much bro! And where is this lamp package? | 01:31 |
| blackshirt | john38: your system not there ?? | 01:31 |

| olskolirc | machine* | 01:34 |
| mitchs | RetroGamer, lol | 01:34 |
| Licuadora | Ok, | 01:35 |
| olskolirc | ok i get it | 01:35 |
| Licuadora | hello | 01:35 |
| bencc | what java package do I need if I'm getting: Unable to find a javac compiler | 01:35 |
| jjcm | bencc: jdk | 01:35 |
| blackshirt | john38: ok, wait | 01:36 |
| jjcm | bencc: default-jdk will be the most typical choice | 01:36 |
| Linus_Asus | Hi I would like to know if there's a way to choose what the installation will install, is there a way to modify the image of ubuntu before to start install? | 01:36 |
| jjcm | bencc: but you have a myriad of choices | 01:36 |
| bencc | thanks | 01:36 |
| Tm0 | Is webmin in the repos? | 01:36 |
| bencc | jjcm: trying default-jdk | 01:36 |
| Licuadora | So i decided to Reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 cause i did not have any WIFI signal, now I can't install from the live CD for some strange reason - it just stays in "when you are ready..." Anyway, maybe some one here would like to read a log and tell me if ubuntu has a bug or something? | 01:37 |
| Licuadora | IF, you tell me where can I find that LOG | 01:37 |
| jjcm | bencc: If you already have one installed though, you can run "sudo updatedb && locate javac | grep bin" | 01:37 |
| PJSingh5000 | bencc: have you tried JDK from Sun? | 01:37 |
| ns_tech1 | what is the command to install GTK 2.x? | 01:37 |
| jjcm | bencc: then just make sure that the bin files are in your PATH | 01:37 |
| Tm0 | Is there any webmin or any webmin type product in the repos? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | 01:37 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 01:37 |
| jjcm | Tm0: Like a plesk kinda thing? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !ebox | 01:38 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 01:38 |
| Tm0 | jjcm, mhm, but in the repos prefered. | 01:38 |
| jjcm | Yea can't help you there Tm0 | 01:38 |
| xidica | olskolirc, what exactly is it you are trying to do again? | 01:39 |
| Tm0 | jjcm, then i must run a .deb file? | 01:39 |
| jjcm | Tm0: Not sure, I just dont know of any web admin products (Or rather, I haven't used any so I cant recommend one) | 01:39 |
| himanshu | !ebox | 01:40 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 01:40 |
| Tm0 | I mean like i have to wget and run the .deb right? | 01:40 |
| jjcm | Tm0: for what? | 01:40 |
| Tm0 | For any webmin or plesk | 01:40 |
| jjcm | Tm0: Check what ActionParsnip just alerted - webmin is no longer supported in debian/ubuntu | 01:41 |
| blackshirt | john38: before you ever install drivers ati ?? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Tm0: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/4-ubuntu/1213-install-webmin-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat | 01:41 |
| jjcm | Tm0: maybe google for "webmin alternative ubuntu" | 01:41 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, settings do not take effect. I cannot drop or prevent the user from accessing wireless or ethernet connections. | 01:41 |
| anonymous_1 | help! i cant open non-installed binaries! | 01:41 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: what's the issue with them? | 01:42 |
| Tm0 | Thanks Jccm thanks | 01:42 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm they just dont work, in terminal it says 'command not found' | 01:42 |
| olskolirc | xidica, i installed harden-remoteaudit and i can't find it no where not in the menu or the command line where is it | 01:42 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, shouldn't that prevent internet/lan access? | 01:42 |
| john38 | blackshirt, ??what | 01:42 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm i tried to sh on them and it gives me many syntax errors and error dumps | 01:42 |
| === tatiana is now known as Guest40941 | ||
| ActionParsnip | UnholyTerror: not sure, i've not done such a thing | 01:43 |
| blackshirt | previously, you ever install previous version ati driver ?? | 01:43 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: what about straight up ./ to run them anonymous_1? | 01:43 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, I gotta try some other things... thanks. | 01:43 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm didnt tried that, im not a linux wizard, brb | 01:43 |
| john38 | blackshirt, no this is first time i try to install proprietary other than open | 01:43 |
| xidica | olskolirc, this is probably a question better asked in #nessus ... are you sure nessusd is configured and running? | 01:43 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: if the name of the binary is "foo", just do ./foo | 01:44 |
| john38 | blackshirt, how do i make sure i dont have any open source | 01:44 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: while you're in the directory that they're contained in | 01:44 |
| olskolirc | oh i have to have that too? | 01:44 |
| olskolirc | ok brb | 01:44 |
| jjcm | john38: You can't not have any open source code if you're installing linux. | 01:44 |
| john38 | jjcm, not talking to you | 01:45 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm it does not work | 01:45 |
| john38 | i mean open source drivers for ati | 01:45 |
| Guest40941 | PLEASE HELP. I had my ubuntu system installed in my 80 gb drive. i think i might have deleted all the information when i issued the comman "gzip -dc boot.img.gz >/dev/sda", it was supposed to be sdb (a usb drive) not sda, and i believe sda was the 80gb drive.}. | 01:45 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: what's the output? | 01:45 |
| blackshirt | if you have purging it, i think it completely removed | 01:45 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm first it says i have no permission, with sudo it says that command cant be found | 01:45 |
| jjcm | Guest40941: nicely done. | 01:45 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: Yeah, you blew a giant hole in something. :-) | 01:46 |
| john38 | blackshirt, yes but how do i make sure | 01:46 |
| KB1JWQ | It's a good thing you've got a robust backup policy in place and can restore from backups though! A lot of people with insufficient experience and bad administrative habits would not be in such a good position. | 01:46 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: ^^ | 01:46 |
| john38 | blackshirt, that everything is gone | 01:46 |
| SingAlong | hi all | 01:46 |
| anonymous_1 | hi | 01:46 |
| RetroGamer | anyone here good with iptables? | 01:46 |
| xidica | RetroGamer, yes | 01:46 |
| SingAlong | is it possible to create an ISO install image of the current state of my system? (the extra packages installed + the base install) | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !iptables | RetroGamer | 01:47 |
| ubottu | RetroGamer: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 01:47 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: Sounds like the permissions aren't set right on it. What's "ls -l FILENAME" say about it (where filename is the name of the program you're trying to run)? | 01:47 |
| RetroGamer | ActionParsnip, thank you...but its more complex than that...let me get my rules into pastebin | 01:47 |
| blackshirt | you can try search in /usr/bin directory, still aticonfig reside on that directory | 01:47 |
| SingAlong | anyone? | 01:47 |
| Guest40941 | <jjcm>, <KB1JWQ> , so its done? no way to revover? | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | RetroGamer: thats all i know, i use a router which is enouugh for me | 01:47 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: Sure, restore from backup. | 01:47 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm yes, filename is what i try to run, in this case these are game binaries, gotta get you that ls -l in a sec | 01:47 |
| john38 | blackshirt, i got a Intel 865G 9600xt agp | 01:48 |
| Tm0 | <ActionParsnip> i still get errors even after running that. | 01:48 |
| Linus_Asus | well I think I got my answer is Ubuntu Studio, is it stable as much as the regular ubuntu | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest40941: restore from backup | 01:48 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: Other than that, you're boned. | 01:48 |
| blackshirt | you have dual vga card on your system ?? | 01:48 |
| john38 | blackshirt, i installed ubuntu through onboard VGA xtreme graphics 2 | 01:48 |
| Guest40941 | <KB1JWQ>, sorry for my ignoracne, but how? could yo point me out in some direction? | 01:48 |
| jjcm | Guest40941: You overwrote the information directly. | 01:48 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm for openttd (x64 binary), it is -rw------- | 01:48 |
| Guest40941 | jjcm, :S | 01:48 |
| jjcm | Guest40941: Unless you have that info backed up elsewhere, it's gone. Forever. | 01:48 |
| john38 | blackshirt, then i plugged in agp card after that | 01:48 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: You take the separate removable media (maybe another drive, maybe an FTP server), and restore it. If you don't have backups, you just learned a very painful lesson. | 01:49 |
| john38 | blackshirt, should i reinstall through AGP card | 01:49 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm the problem is that a lot of libs do that on me, mostly games | 01:49 |
| RetroGamer | xidica, http://pastebin.com/MPq2fr5S i'm trying to block port 80 on all users except the one with userid 6000 (squid) | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: people love learning the value of backups the hardest way possible | 01:49 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm bins* | 01:49 |
| Guest40941 | KB1JWQ, yes I did | 01:49 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: That being said, depending on how big boot.img is when it's decompressed, you MIGHT be able to use something like testdisk or foremost to scrape data off of it. | 01:49 |
| Guest40941 | thanks anyway | 01:49 |
| jjcm | Guest40941: There are some experimental/theoretical techniques for trying to find out the previous value of a bit on a magnetic media, but it requires an electron microscope | 01:49 |
| jjcm | Guest40941: and you have to do it by hand | 01:49 |
| fishscene | !ftp > fishscene | 01:49 |
| ubottu | fishscene, please see my private message | 01:49 |
| jjcm | Guest40941: bit by bit | 01:49 |
| Guest40941 | well the boot im wasnt too big | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest40941: look into foremost | 01:49 |
| xidica | RetroGamer, this is quite easy one sec | 01:49 |
| RetroGamer | xidica, awesome thank you | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest40941: your backups are the most reliable way to get the data back | 01:50 |
| KB1JWQ | Guest40941: Then you should pull the drive, get a working system up, and then use testdisk to attempt recovery of as much as you can. | 01:50 |
| blackshirt | john38: maybe you have to removed your another graphic card driver, deactivated your card through your bios and then try reinstall your ati driver.. | 01:50 |
| jjcm | ActionParsnip: We've all done it | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: nope, ive always had backups since the beginning | 01:50 |
| jjcm | ActionParsnip: I was foolish enough to give one of my clients root on one of their servers once. | 01:50 |
| RetroGamer | jjcm, thats clearly gonna end badly... | 01:51 |
| jjcm | ActionParsnip: I figured, "Hey, it's their servers, they wont shoot themselves in the foot" | 01:51 |
| RetroGamer | heh | 01:51 |
| anonymous_1 | lol | 01:51 |
| jjcm | ActionParsnip: They wanted to see if the "rm -rf /" command was real. | 01:51 |
| jjcm | I kid you not. | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: yeah but give users enough rope to hang themselves and.... | 01:51 |
| RetroGamer | LOL | 01:51 |
| john38 | blackshirt, you mean go into Bios and disable onboard VGA?? | 01:51 |
| jjcm | That was what he told me on the phone. | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: you are kidding...? | 01:51 |
| jjcm | Nope. | 01:51 |
| RetroGamer | ohhhh god...thats just funny | 01:51 |
| anonymous_1 | rm -rf? what does it do? | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: damn! | 01:51 |
| anonymous_1 | not a linux wizard btw | 01:52 |
| john38 | blackshirt, and reinstall only through AGP card | 01:52 |
| RetroGamer | anonymous_1, wipes out all directories and files | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | anonymous_1: there are videos online, go see | 01:52 |
| himanshu | i have bunch of /dec/sd[1-5], while i don't have any external disk. Why is it like that? | 01:52 |
| jjcm | ActionParsnip: recursively deletes everything in the folder / (the root folder) | 01:52 |
| jjcm | er | 01:52 |
| anonymous_1 | OH WOW | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: ;) | 01:52 |
| anonymous_1 | this is a cool command | 01:52 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: recursively deletes everything in the folder / | 01:52 |
| fishscene | rm -rf completely and forcibly erases your entire directory | 01:52 |
| anonymous_1 | like ED's Windows Optimizer 2009 | 01:52 |
| === m00se is now known as e9dek304ks03d | ||
| jjcm | sorry, tabpwned there ActionParsnip | 01:52 |
| anonymous_1 | except that EDWO2009 deletes system32 | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: np man | 01:52 |
| blackshirt | john32: you can try that.. | 01:53 |
| john38 | blackshirt, thats the problem i can't completly disable Onboard VGA just change boot priority | 01:53 |
| Guest40941 | ok, tahnks, gonna go cry for the term paper that i have to rewrite from scratch for tomorrow at 7 | 01:53 |
| Guest40941 | by | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | john38: you can in bios | 01:54 |
| anonymous_1 | so jjcm, do you have any idea what could be the reason of my problem? | 01:54 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: what was the output of ls -l? | 01:54 |
| anonymous_1 | -rw------- | 01:54 |
| john38 | blackshirt, only options are INTEL_VGA ,,AGP/INTEL_VGA,,,AGP/PCI,,,,PCI/AGP or pci | 01:54 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: that's why | 01:54 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: so ls -l shows you the permission patterns of the file | 01:54 |
| john38 | blackshirt, i dont see disable anywhere just priority | 01:55 |
| himanshu | which one of the /dev/sd1-5 is the hard disk? | 01:55 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: ignore the first digit, it's the following 9 that are important | 01:55 |
| blackshirt | ok..john..it's doesnt matter | 01:55 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm ive seen such on ftp servers, what is the desired pattern? | 01:55 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: they're in 3 groups - owner, group, and everyone else. | 01:55 |
| blackshirt | with...maybe you just change your priority | 01:55 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, it's weird, I can enable/disable 'Admin rights', enable/disable 'Configure Printers', but nothing has an effect on 'connect to wireless/ethernet networks' | 01:55 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: so the first group, the owner group, has rw- set | 01:55 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: that means that he can read, write, but not execute. | 01:56 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: if it were able to be executed, it'd show up as rwx | 01:56 |
| === nick_ is now known as Guest64287 | ||
| john38 | blackshirt, maybe i should pick AGP/PCI where apg is picked first | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | UnholyTerror: you could make the nm-applet only executable by a certain group and add the users you want to have access in that group | 01:56 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: full permissions is -rwxrwxrwx, meaning anyone can read,write, and execute | 01:56 |
| anonymous_1 | right | 01:56 |
| blackshirt | john32: what is your ati series do you have, ati radeon ?? | 01:56 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: so to change it you use the command chmod | 01:56 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm but that would be dangerous to give rights to 3rd group, right? | 01:56 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: i prefer to just set the changes to the exact state that I want it to be in | 01:56 |
| john38 | blackshirt, Ati Radeon 9600xt 128mb 4x/8x agp | 01:57 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: Generally, yes. | 01:57 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: I'd toss in there a 755 | 01:57 |
| anonymous_1 | okay | 01:57 |
| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, Just wondering if anyone can duplicate this? | 01:57 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: that means that only the owner (you) can rewrite the program | 01:57 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: but anyone can run it | 01:57 |
| Guest23749 | can anyone help me? i have pluged in my canon xti and it is not appearing in ubuntu | 02:00 |

| dbdii407 | I have a question. I have to CD-Rs available at this time, I was wondering if I could just copy the contents of the .iso into my secondary hard drive and boot it from there? | 02:01 |
| blackshirt | what a complete message when your tyr execute the ati installer, ?? | 02:01 |
| dbdii407 | i have no* | 02:01 |

| UnholyTerror | ActionParsnip, yet here I am? | 02:01 |
| Tm0 | Guest23749 does the camera seem mounted like it does when it is pluged into windows? | 02:01 |
| maco | dbdii407: i dont think you can do that, but if you have 2 computers you can PXE boot from the ISO | 02:01 |
| Guest23749 | the camera says busy and then the screen goes blank | 02:01 |
| dbdii407 | maco, I only have on | 02:01 |
| dbdii407 | maco, I only have one* | 02:01 |
| xidica | dbdii407, No...Maco is correct you could PXE boot the ISO, or burn the ISO, or use a USB stick to make a bootable USB out of the ISO | 02:02 |
| xidica | dbdii407, best recommendation at that point is to make a bootable USB thumbdrive from the ISO | 02:02 |
| dbdii407 | I dont think I can boot from USB | 02:02 |
| xidica | dbdii407, BIOS doesn't support it? | 02:02 |
| dbdii407 | No | 02:02 |
| maco | xidica: get a friend to help then? | 02:02 |

| Dr_Quantum | +b *@* | 02:03 |
| xidica | Magnavox, all relative imho | 02:03 |
| jjcm | Magnavox: a platter based drive? | 02:03 |
| Magnavox | jjcm, yes. | 02:03 |
| jjcm | Magnavox: They'll typically measure the drive life in MTBF | 02:04 |
| ev0_ | So apparently I fail | 02:04 |
| jjcm | Magnavox: I guess you could divide that by the time it takes to fully write a drive | 02:04 |
| Magnavox | okay this drive was showing 55,000 load cycles...just curious | 02:04 |
| jjcm | Magnavox: then you'll get that load cycle | 02:04 |

| ubottu | Guest41476: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:14 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: what's the name of the file? | 02:14 |
| anonymous_1 | like quake3 for instance | 02:14 |
| histo | anonymous_1: okay so chmod +x nameoffile | 02:14 |
| histo | anonymous_1: then ./nameoffile | 02:14 |
| jimisrvrox | Anybody good with diagnosing errors with VLC player? Ive got some pastebin that I would like some assistance with.. | 02:14 |
| anonymous_1 | why not the entire drive? something wrong with that? | 02:14 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: Yea, for two reasons | 02:14 |
| histo | anonymous_1: yes that would be bad. +x just makes the game executable | 02:14 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: 1.) you didnt do it recursivley, which means it only affected the root of the drive | 02:15 |
| akshu1 | hi i am searching for a virtual keyboard for girefox as well chrome | 02:15 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: and 2.) never set permissions globally like that | 02:15 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: it's bad practice | 02:15 |
| histo | anonymous_1: each file can have r - read w - write x - execute | 02:15 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: only give permissions to what you need to have permissions | 02:15 |
| akshu1 | how to install virtual keyboard of web broweser | 02:15 |
| histo | akshu1: isn't there one in accesiblity options? | 02:15 |
| anonymous_1 | but then id end up having to give permissions too often | 02:15 |
| anonymous_1 | >windows uac | 02:15 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: Only when you install something. | 02:16 |
| akshu1 | histo, no | 02:16 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: which you'd need to do anyway | 02:16 |
| histo | akshu1: system > preferences > assistive technologies? | 02:16 |
| histo | akshu1: I know there is a onscreen keyboard built it hold up | 02:16 |
| connermcd | akshu1 it's called onBoard... you may have to enable universal access by editing your Applications menu with right click | 02:16 |
| maco | connermcd: it can be found in the assistive technologies popup as histo said | 02:17 |
| tripelb | I want to be able to do "print selection" specifically for printing a web page. I used chrome and it'didnt work. AFAIK open(slow)office is the same. -- tired of printing extra pages. | 02:17 |
| maco | there's a button to choose which accessibility apps are used | 02:17 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: only run "chmod 755" on the file of the game itself. | 02:17 |
| tripelb | 10.04 | 02:17 |
| jjcm | anonymous_1: then just run it with ./quake3 or wahtever and you'll be fine. | 02:17 |
| Guest41476 | ive got a problem with wine and microsoft office 2007 i cant click on the message box to enter a cd key | 02:18 |

| yagoo | Guest2056, excuse me did you say you need help to run M$office? get out man.. microsoft is bashful. | 02:21 |
| histo | Guest41476: I would ask in the wine channel | 02:21 |
| histo | Guest41476: /j #winehq | 02:22 |
| jjcm | yagoo: sometimes you need ms office to read things other peeps send you | 02:22 |
| datta | connermcd: all right, will try that | 02:22 |
| histo | jjcm: thats what openoffice is for | 02:22 |
| icesword | what's the lowest hardware requirements for running ubuntu 10.10? | 02:22 |
| anonymous_1 | @jjcm chmod said nothing | 02:22 |
| Guest41476 | yagoo: we are taught how to use exel at uni | 02:22 |

| Guest41476 | its has difrent function though | 02:23 |
| histo | Guest41476: I would joine the #winehq channel and ask them they have more experience. | 02:23 |
| jjcm | Guest41476: Only use MS Office if you have clients/customers that require compatibility | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !appdb | Guest41476 | 02:23 |

| jjcm | Guest41476: the functions should be pretty transferable, some of the syntax may differ though | 02:23 |

| ActionParsnip | histo: anytime | 02:24 |
| Guest41476 | i tried to join #winehq but i was the only person in there lol | 02:24 |
| connermcd | datta not saying that dvd::rip is bad... I just like acidrip better and can help you with it | 02:24 |
| yagoo | histo, doesn't matter.. then he'll cry about wine not working for him.. and he'll come back asking for "microsoft" help | 02:24 |

| earthshade | Anyone know how to manually install drivers in terminal? | 02:25 |
| datta | connermcd: all right, i have no clue on how to use this, how do you use it? | 02:25 |
| histo | earthshade: which drivers? | 02:25 |
| xidica | earthshade, depends on what drivers | 02:25 |
| jjcm | earthshade: from source? | 02:25 |
| jimisrvrox | connermcd: hey im foolin around with dvd::rip right now so does acidrip give you title menus and shit too? because it doesnt seem to me like dvdrip does.. | 02:25 |
| datta | there is no preview that is coming up | 02:25 |
| icesword | actionparsnip, hardware requirement of 10.10, cpu? ram? do you know? | 02:25 |
| histo | !requirements | icesword | 02:26 |
| ubottu | icesword: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 02:26 |
| connermcd | jimisrvrox datta the preview is on a tab, it shows all the titles but you usually need to preview to make sure its the right one | 02:26 |
| earthshade | Drivers for canon pixma ip1700 printer... I was told to use the drivers for ip2200 | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | icesword: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 02:26 |
| histo | earthshade: what in cups? | 02:26 |
| earthshade | ? | 02:26 |
| histo | earthshade: opena browser and go to localhost:631 | 02:26 |
| connermcd | jimisrvrox you know... making sure its not the commentary etc.... when I burn TV show DVDs its usually the first titles lined up | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: are there no drivers for it on the canon site? | 02:26 |
| icesword | just tell me | 02:26 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: Only for 2200 | 02:27 |
| connermcd | datta you need to select the title you wanna rip (load to get titles) | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | icesword: its on that page | 02:27 |
| datta | connermcd: well nothing comes up even when i did select it | 02:27 |
| jjcm | Guest41476: did you check the permissions on /dev/shm? | 02:27 |
| histo | icesword: is there a reason you can't look at that page? | 02:27 |
| connermcd | datta did you load the DVD on the first tab? | 02:27 |
| datta | yes | 02:27 |
| earthshade | Cups 1.4.3 | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: i'd go for it, you can always remove the driver if its bad | 02:27 |
| connermcd | datta you have to load the DVD and select a title to preview it | 02:27 |
| Guest41476 | yea | 02:27 |
| histo | icesword: we cna't paste the page in here it's to long | 02:27 |
| jimisrvrox | connermcd: well I ripped a dvd and I got all vob's and no menu's like I want..with dvd::rip..but Im guessing acidrip might be easier to navigate? | 02:27 |
| Guest41476 | i think it says read only | 02:28 |
| histo | earthshade: open a web browser and navigate to localhost:631 then config your printer | 02:28 |
| Guest41476 | can i change it somehow? | 02:28 |
| datta | connermcd: i have loaded it, it says the time | 02:28 |
| jjcm | Guest41476: Run that command that it told you to run in the error message | 02:28 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: Yeah I just don't know how to install it... Im still learning this linux stuff | 02:28 |
| datta | connermcd: there is no codec that i can select from or anything | 02:28 |
| icesword | just cpu and ram require | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: they usually give debs or archives of debs | 02:28 |
| jjcm | Guest41476: sudo chmod 777 /dev/shm | 02:28 |
| connermcd | jimisrvrox it rips to .avi or .mpg not vobs... it doesn't use menus though like the actual DVD | 02:28 |
| histo | icesword: Why can't you click the link? | 02:28 |
| Guest41476 | chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/shm': Read-only file system | 02:28 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: No like im a noob | 02:28 |
| connermcd | datta you may need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras... libdvdcss2 | 02:29 |
| earthshade | histo: How to Config? | 02:29 |
| Guest41476 | and then i get same error as before | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: what file does the site give you? | 02:29 |
| connermcd | datta have you installed the restricted extras? | 02:29 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: One sec | 02:29 |
| datta | connermcd: have to check that | 02:29 |
| histo | earthshade: don't pay attention to my suggestioni if you found drivers from somewhere | 02:29 |
| earthshade | histo: Ok | 02:29 |
| Stevethepirate | ActionParsnip: Random aside; do you ever reddit? | 02:30 |
| blaxnux | hello. :) please help me. How can I configure compiz without using compizconfig setting manager? | 02:30 |
| jjcm | Guest41476: why is your filesystem mounted as read only? | 02:30 |
| connermcd | blaxnux why don't you want to use the setting manager? | 02:30 |
| histo | blaxnux: I think there is ccsm light or someting | 02:30 |
| Guest41476 | jjcm: wouldnt have a clue can i change it? | 02:31 |
| blaxnux | I can't update. my internet is not unlimited | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Stevethepirate: reddit? what's that? | 02:31 |
| SingAlong | is it possible to create an ISO install image of the current state of my system? (the extra packages installed + the base install) | 02:31 |
| histo | blaxnux: http://digg.com/news/technology/How_To_to_configure_Compiz | 02:31 |
| datta | connermcd: still you cannot choose codecs | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: you can customise the install ISO, i know that much | 02:32 |
| jjcm | ActionParsnip: It's a social news aggregator. | 02:32 |
| histo | blaxnux: basically use gconf-editor and config | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | blaxnux: you can use simple-ccsm | 02:32 |
| SingAlong | ActionParsnip: the pages on the wiki is too old. | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jjcm: i see, thanks | 02:32 |
| SingAlong | ActionParsnip: ya thats exactly what I need :) | 02:32 |
| blaxnux | Is there is a way to configure it using only terminal and gedit? | 02:32 |
| histo | ActionParsnip: he can't install any packages | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: for what? | 02:32 |
| connermcd | datta can you play the DVD? | 02:32 |
| SingAlong | ActionParsnip: forking a distro :) | 02:32 |
| histo | blaxnux: no but you can use gconf-editor which is installed | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !remaster | SingAlong | 02:32 |
| ubottu | SingAlong: 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 | 02:32 |
| jjcm | Guest41476: It's probably your underlying issue - I gotta take off though. Best of luck with it! | 02:33 |
| datta | connermcd: well no but when i ripped it with dvd:rip it ripped even though i could not see it | 02:33 |
| blaxnux | oh, I see. thank you very much. :) | 02:33 |
| histo | blaxnux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/ConfiguringCompiz Follow these directions plugins are in compiz > genereal > etc.... | 02:33 |
| datta | connermcd: the problem with that was that it does not transcode to any format | 02:33 |
| Guest41476 | jjcm:thanks for help cya | 02:33 |
| SingAlong | ActionParsnip: thanks | 02:33 |
| histo | blaxnux: just hit alt+f2 and run gconf-editor | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: what pages are too old.....? | 02:33 |
| dbowlby | Hello all | 02:33 |

| Stevethepirate | ActionParsnip: :) | 02:33 |
| econdudeawesome | Hi all. What are the strengths of ubuntu over fedora? | 02:34 |
| jjcm | Stevethepirate: Did you just migrate over to reddit? | 02:34 |
| connermcd | datta I mean can you play the DVD like in VLC or whatever | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest41476: you cant change that thing, its a block device, you need to set mount options to modify how you can access it and by whom | 02:34 |
| connermcd | datta can you watch it | 02:34 |
| datta | connermcd: no | 02:34 |
| dbowlby | econdudeawesome - I would say it's a matter of taste | 02:34 |
| Stevethepirate | No, I was just browsing /r/linux and wondered if many people in here use reddit. | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: what is too old, you never said | 02:34 |
| dbowlby | econdudeawesome - try them both and decide for yourself :) | 02:35 |
| connermcd | datta well the reason it wouldn't transcode and the reason acidrip isn't working is because you can't read it | 02:35 |
| Guest41476 | actionparnip: how do i set mount options? | 02:35 |
| datta | connermcd: then i have to use handbrake to convert it | 02:35 |
| jimisrvrox | hey connermcd are you good with diagnosing Xorg errors? I was playing my DVD via ssh and I would get: Xlib: extension "SYNC" missing on display "localhost:11.0". Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display "localhost:11.0". | 02:35 |
| meatbun | i turned off update manager. it still pops out. how to fix it? | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !mount | Guest41476 | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Guest41476: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 02:35 |
| SingAlong | ActionParsnip: the page on the wiki for customizing install ISO. but no worries that was another page that google directed me to. the ones you just refered me to are awesome | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest41476: also, use TAB to complete nicks | 02:35 |
| connermcd | datta sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:35 |
| bouncing | So this is going to sound weird, but since installing Kubuntu-desktop, whenever I boot up, it crashes. In recovery mode, it crashes while it waits for mountall; in normal mode without the splash and quiet options, it crashes once the login screen appears (mouse pointer frozen, keyboard unresponsive); on older kernels, it crashes at various stages of booting, each different. | 02:36 |
| earthshade | Ok so I downloaded the drivers for ip2200 from the canon site... It is a .tgz file... How do I install? | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: hardy is still fully supported on both desktop and server | 02:36 |
| datta | connermcd: it's installed | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: right click it and extract it | 02:36 |
| SingAlong | ActionParsnip: oh | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: and the method you use will be exactly the same | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | SingAlong: yuo will chroot into the CD and add / remove stuff, so the method being old is moot | 02:37 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: Ok now what? | 02:37 |
| bouncing | also, how do I get a list of installed packages on a partition that's mounted (not on the running system)? | 02:37 |
| connermcd | datta sudo apt-get install vlc xine mplayer libdvdread3 | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: you will have a folder, enter it and have a look around, you wil have debs you can install | 02:37 |
| connermcd | datta then try to play it in VLC | 02:37 |
| connermcd | jimisrvrox sorry can't help ya there | 02:38 |
| datta | connermcd: all right will try that | 02:38 |
| dbowlby | I have ubuntu server 10.10 running on my box. I told it to install the virtualization components. So far it works great, I love it. My only concern is that my hosts are on their own network. I'm cool with this, but I really want to have the server to act as a gateway to the virtualized servers. | 02:38 |
| dbowlby | There is documentation on host only and bridged connections, but I can't find anything on port forwarding to the virtualized hosts. | 02:38 |
| tony__ | hello | 02:38 |
| connermcd | datta then install the CSS library... sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh | 02:39 |
| Licuadora | Hello | 02:39 |
| datta | connermcd: no does not work, dvdrip seems to copy the vob files fairly well without transcoding them | 02:39 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: See but im a noob to the point where I don't knowhow to install them if I find them | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dbowlby: make the guest systems us a bridged interface and they will appear on teh LAN just like a physical PC and will be in the DHCP list in the router config page | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: use your eyes, you can see the file extensions | 02:39 |
| datta | connermcd: maybe because the dvd is protected or something | 02:40 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: I don't know how to install them!!!!!! | 02:40 |
| dbowlby | ActionParsnip, I'm not wanting to eat up IP addreses on my network. I like it to be seperate. I want the host server to port forward to the internal hosts | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: if yuo bang the "I'm a noob, I know nothing" drum you will never get any more proficient with the OS | 02:40 |
| connermcd | datta ah you need these codecs -> sudo apt-get libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3 libdvdcss2 | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: double click them!!!!!! | 02:40 |
| earthshade | Oic | 02:40 |
| connermcd | datta oops... sudo apt-get install | 02:40 |
| earthshade | Lol | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dbowlby: are you using a home lan? | 02:40 |
| rigved | hi everyone | 02:41 |
| earthshade | So im looking for deb files | 02:41 |
| dbowlby | ActoinParsnip, yes | 02:41 |
| Licuadora | How can I find out what happen to my system? I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu, but then got stuck in the "Who are you" section, so i cancel it, and now, when i try to boot normally, it asks me for a boot CD, but I can't install from the liveCD even though it has no errors, What can i do | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: yes, there may be a readme in the files too. I dont have the data so cannot tell you exactly | 02:41 |
| dbowlby | ActionParsnip, I like the design of having the VM host front the ports | 02:41 |
| earthshade | Um every file is .rpm it seems | 02:41 |
| rigved | when i try to install remastersys, apt-get asks me to remove grub-pc. is this fine or will it cause some problem with my system? | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dbowlby: do you anticipate having 254 PCs? | 02:42 |
| rigved | i'm using ubuntu 10.04 | 02:42 |
| datta | connermcd: everything is installed | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: then you have the redhat driver | 02:42 |
| earthshade | What's redhat? | 02:42 |
| dbowlby | ActionParsnip, I see where you are going, but I only want one IP per physical box | 02:42 |
| connermcd | datta k try playing it in VLC again | 02:42 |
| nimbiotics | Is there a WYSIWYG tool to create web pages in ubuntu, something for a total noob? TIA! | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dbowlby: thats what will happen, the other IPs will be for the software systems | 02:42 |
| datta | connermcd: seems like it will not work, as if it is a dvd you cannot rip. tried it before on windows did not work | 02:42 |
| earthshade | ActionParsnip: What's redhat? | 02:43 |
| histo | nimbiotics: there are plenty of them. If you search the software center you will get many results | 02:43 |
| rigved | !redhat | earthshade | 02:43 |
| ubottu | earthshade: Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 02:43 |
| datta | connermcd: it says there is nothing on the cd/dvd drive | 02:43 |

| ActionParsnip | dbowlby: the host won't have multiple IPs, it will just be the same port for the next hop to then hit the virtual systems | 02:43 |

| akshu1 | i have installed gok but in accestive technolgies not showing gok option for enable | 02:44 |
| dbowlby | ActionParsnip, I understand the dynamics of virtualization. I'm wanting to forward ports from the eth0 of the host to the various virtual boxes on that host. The idea is to have a single IP to reference and based on port it goes to the appropriate host | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Diamondcite: sure, its in the config of the virtual system | 02:45 |
| dbowlby | ActionParsnip, similar to the nat options in vmware | 02:45 |
| bonhoffer | anyone know how to make a cron task run at 5am 12pm and 7pm? | 02:45 |

| ActionParsnip | MikeW: why not use something like vmware or virtualbox | 03:22 |
| ndroftheline | and it displays boot text fine | 03:23 |
| Guest89746 | will bvi edit the memory of a process? | 03:23 |
| ndroftheline | but then when it gets to a text login prompt it starts freaking out | 03:23 |
| Guest89746 | What program that is prewritten can I use to change the memory of a process? | 03:23 |
| === fc is now known as Guest40177 | ||
| ndroftheline | so i want to play with my resolution | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeW: you could install the desktop on the server once its installed, you may need some boot options to make it fly | 03:23 |
| Guest89746 | I know it's possible to write a program to do it... so which function? | 03:23 |
| Guest89746 | you have to understand that I'm not a linux programmer... | 03:23 |
| ndroftheline | it used to be under /etc/X11/xorg.conf but now i don't know what to do | 03:23 |
| ndroftheline | anybody? | 03:23 |
| MikeW | ActionParsnip: Because Vmware Server doesn't run at the same time as Hyper-V, and I got ubuntu 10.10 desktop working amazingly well under vmware server, but it works less well with all my Windows VMs | 03:23 |
| sosaited | Where can I find latest stable and unstable Glib libraries for Ubuntu Lucid? I have a beta version of Tracker installed, but it says that "Journal rotating" is not enabled because Glib version installed doesn't support it | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeW: sounds like a poor config ubuntu then | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeW: all I can suggest is log a bug | 03:24 |
| regeya | say, I have a machine with a builtin intel g31 card running ubuntu 10.10. When I fire up firefox or chromium, X crashes. | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | regeya: log back in and read /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:25 |
| bullgard4 | CaneToad: This obtains: "restart. restart: FRejected send message, 1 matched rules, type = "method call", "sender = ":1.54 "(uid=1000, pid=1936 comm=restart) interface= com.ubuntu.Upstart0-6.Job" | 03:25 |

| STF | hi i need to know, is there a possibility to rune a wine windowed program without emulate a complete a desktop | 03:26 |
| CaneToad | STF: yes, but depends on the program | 03:27 |
| spvensko_ | hi, what's the program that can be used to download podcasts and free video media? | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | STF: sure, just run winecfg and disable the virtual desktop option, some apps need it though | 03:27 |
| regeya | ActionParsnip: looking through here...hm. nothing really jumps out at me. Bummer. | 03:27 |
| bullgard4 | CaneToad: My problem is a different one. Please re-read what I asked at the outset. My problem is that a cold start does not obtain network access. | 03:27 |
| * regeya goes googling some more... | 03:27 | |
| spvensko_ | i can't remember the name, it's short, ~4 letters... | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | regeya: i suggest virtualbox, its opensource so can be improved by community etc | 03:28 |
| STF | thx i forgot these option | 03:28 |

| spvensko_ | ZykoticK9, exactly! thanks! :) | 03:28 |
| regeya | ActionParsnip: I'm a bit sleep deprived right now; I'm trying to figure out how that'll help with a Firefox problem. My guess would be an issue with Flash's hw accel | 03:29 |
| CaneToad | bullgard4: I found with Lucid that obtaining network access after a start was flakey...sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't...dhclient eth0 always fixed it though | 03:29 |
| STF | another thing does someone of a expieriences with direct connect hubs in a local network? | 03:29 |
| STF | another thing does someone of you have a expieriences with direct connect hubs in a local network? | 03:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | regeya, to my knowledge there is no accelerated flash under linux | 03:29 |
| bullgard4 | CaneToad: Where did you read that? | 03:29 |
| CaneToad | bullgard4: I didn't read it, I experienced it | 03:30 |
| dli | ZykoticK9, not stable yet, but try lightspark plugin | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | STF: can you expand on "direct connect hubs"? | 03:30 |
| bullgard4 | CaneToad: Ah, I see. Thank you for your information. | 03:30 |
| STF | actionParsnip: i run a adchpp hub on my ubuntuserver | 03:31 |

| lucasicf | hi i'm new in programming (2 years), how can i contribute to opensource gnu/linux apps? | 03:33 |
| dli | ZykoticK9, lightspark is based on GLSL and LLVM for hardware acceleration, should be better than adobe binary | 03:34 |

| beinghuman | I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 because 8.10 didn't work | 03:36 |
| beinghuman | and I'm trying to do this without a keyboard | 03:36 |
| beinghuman | 8.10 would count down and choose english before it installed so this wasn't an issue | 03:36 |
| beinghuman | but 10.10 just sits there and waits on keyboard input before starting installation | 03:36 |
| beinghuman | I'm out of options and I have to do this without a keyboard. Options? | 03:37 |
| maco | beinghuman: it wont react to mouse either? | 03:37 |
| Jygga | hmm should i really tr to put ubuntu on this G4 powerbook? | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | maco: I have a mouse | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | and it responds | 03:37 |
| Jygga | i foresee brainhurts | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | the problem is I physically don't have a keyboard to hook up to it | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | and I need this done tonight | 03:37 |
| blackshirt | stew: | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | right now it's on the language select screen | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | just sitting there. | 03:37 |
| maco | beinghuman: and you cant select the language with the mouse? | 03:37 |
| beinghuman | presumably waiting on keyboard input but I have no keyboard | 03:38 |
| beinghuman | maco no | 03:38 |
| STF | actionParsnip: wow, which router type of linksys do you use? | 03:38 |
| beinghuman | there is cursor but the light is on, on the mouse | 03:38 |
| dli | beinghuman, get a livecd with auto-network, and sshd up | 03:38 |
| beinghuman | there is no curor* | 03:38 |
| beinghuman | I thought this was a live cd | 03:38 |
| maco | beinghuman: uh oh :-/ more accessibility fail :( | 03:38 |
| beinghuman | yeah I think so | 03:39 |
| maco | beinghuman: it is... dli's suggestion doesnt make sense to me either | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | STF: a wireless one | 03:39 |
| beinghuman | it doesn't make sense to me because I can't sshd up when the live cd just sits and waits for keyboard input for language select | 03:39 |
| STF | actionParsnip: wow, i ask i use wrt45gl (wireless too) with ddwrt soft | 03:40 |
| bullgard4 | Cold-starting my Lucid Ubuntu computer does no longer obtain network access. '~$ route' is empty. The green link LED is on though. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' brings back network access but no Avahi. To fix this, what should I look for in dmesg? | 03:40 |
| dli | bullgard4, can you run a network-manager? | 03:40 |
| Jp | why does ubuntu 10.10 show i have 3 hdd's? | 03:41 |
| beinghuman | maco: I feel like I'm out of options here. I got 8.10 installed but *nothing* worked | 03:41 |
| beinghuman | because it wouldn't validate the password | 03:41 |
| bullgard4 | dli: Do you mean if I have installed the program NetworkManager and can start it? | 03:41 |
| dli | Jp, fdisk -l , ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ | 03:41 |
| beinghuman | I don't know why but that's how it was. So I'm trying with 10.10 | 03:41 |
| blackshirt | Jp: what exactly hd you have | 03:41 |
| beinghuman | I mean the password would validate but nothing that required admin access would work, period. | 03:42 |
| AbhiJit | after installing eclipse my ubuntu becomes slow. is it true? should i remove eclipse? | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | STF: if you hook up a wired hub or switch to it then it will give more ethernet ports on the same subnet | 03:42 |
| beinghuman | maco: this was the server edition. I'll try with the desktop edition and see if that happens. | 03:42 |
| dli | bullgard4, network managers can auto-reconnect for you, try either n-m (from gnome), or wicd | 03:42 |
| beinghuman | I'm running out of CDs though | 03:42 |
| Jp | i only have 2 but it shows file system, 80gb reserve, and 80 gb reserve | 03:42 |
| lk | hello,I want to ask that can i use "cat" like this "cat file1 file 2 > file3" | 03:42 |
| maco | beinghuman: oh, server edition is not a live cd | 03:42 |
| maco | beinghuman: there is no way whatsoever to use a mouse with the server edition | 03:43 |
| beinghuman | bah | 03:43 |
| beinghuman | okay then | 03:43 |
| maco | it is a command line based installer | 03:43 |
| bullgard4 | dli: What does that help me? The problem is that networking does not start automatically after a cold start. It used to start automaticalle. | 03:43 |
| beinghuman | i'll stick with desktop edition | 03:43 |
| STF | actionparsnip: what do you try to explain me? | 03:43 |
| bullgard4 | s/automaticalle/automatically/ | 03:43 |
| blackshirt | Jp: paste your output fdisk -l | 03:43 |
| beinghuman | i'll get the server when I can get a keyboard access | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | STF: from your first lot of text it sounded like you wanted to hook up more PCs to your router | 03:43 |
| beinghuman | thanks, maco. I figured that had to be the case | 03:43 |

| hylian | hello, i have ubuntu 10.10, and want to record my desktop, both video and audio, and i have googled it but really haven't come up with anything, and recorditnow does not want to work, can someone make another suggestion? | 03:46 |
| blackshirt | where you know the hard drive is detected | 03:46 |
| yagoo | bullgard4, if you can set the network connectivity to "auto" for system via any graphical means, then you can look into using the interfaces file.. the network icon on the desktop allows separate user network settings (meaning the network starts when the user logs on graphicaly) | 03:46 |
| Jp | do i paste it all here | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | blackshirt: run: sudo fdisk -l | 03:46 |
| jaco123 | ActionParsnip, hey cool ill try that | 03:46 |
| blackshirt | no, use pastebin | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Jp: use a pastebin | 03:46 |
| yagoo | bullgard4, (if you can't set/if u can) | 03:47 |
| Jp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/524242/ | 03:47 |
| rigved | AbhiJit: that may not be the case, something else might be causing the problem. check system monitor for which applications are using the maximum amount of resources | 03:47 |
| Jp | blackshirt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524242/ | 03:47 |
| blackshirt | Jp: it was detected, two hardisk, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb... | 03:47 |

| lk | dli,thanks | 03:49 |
| STF | actionsparsnip: we talk at cross-purposes, i ask for support of direct connect hubs, dchub like uhub, or ynhub | 03:49 |
| rigved | AbhiJit: start eclipse and then check system monitor. is eclipse using too much resources? | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jaco123: then i'd see where else the browser holds settings. Did you recently reinstall with a seperate /home partition or restore data from backup etc | 03:49 |
| hylian | does anyone have a suggestion for a tool to record both the video and audio of my desktop in ubuntu 10.10? (recorditnow does not work.) | 03:49 |
| AbhiJit | rigved, dunno | 03:49 |
| kmyst | hylian: istanbul | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | STF: this is ubuntu support, not direct hub (or whatever) support | 03:49 |

| hylian | rigved, the first thing i said was that recorditnow does not work, but thanks anywayz. | 03:50 |
| jaco123 | ActionParsnip, no i havent reinstaled ubuntu since i first put it on and have never loaded a backup where might i find info one where that browser holds setings? | 03:51 |
| blackshirt | Jp: it's not a problem...maybe you can umount it | 03:51 |
| hylian | rigved, i didnt see the differecne untill it was too late, thanx | 03:51 |
| Jp | blackshirt: never mind i got it its a 100mb partition of the second drive | 03:51 |
| STF | actionparsnip: i know what the topic but it was a try cause you do not realy find any usefull support in web | 03:51 |

| AbhiJit | filezilla fishscene ? | 03:55 |
| fishscene | That's for connecting to an FTP server.. unless I'm missing something | 03:55 |
| blackshirt | you have placed home directory on separated partitions ?? | 03:55 |
| rigved | when i use synaptic, some packages have a green box (no tick inside them). will these packages be automatically installed or do i have to mark them (mark for re-install) to install them? | 03:55 |

| vzee-labs | blackshirt: no on the same directory however df -h shows only 4GB usage out of the 30GB where has all the other space gone? | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vzee-labs: close as many apps as you can and install bleachbit, avoid options which say they will take a long time and also watch the browser settings or it'll clean settings you want | 03:56 |
| Jp | vzee-labs: are you dual-booting? | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | user88: beryl doesn't exist now, its compiz-fusion now | 03:56 |
| fishscene | Correction. Filezilla *does* have a server side. But it's for Windows-only? | 03:56 |
| vzee-labs | jp : yes it was a wubi installation | 03:57 |
| dli | vzee-labs, a quick tweak would be "mkdir -p /host/home;rsync -avxAH /home/* /host/home/;mount -o bind /host/home /home" | 03:57 |

| lastent | Hi, I'm learning Chinese an I want to write some characters in ubuntu, is it posible to do this | 03:57 |
| lastent | ? | 03:57 |
| vzee-labs | dli: ok trying | 03:57 |
| vzee-labs | ActionParsnip, ok trying | 03:58 |
| yagoo | lastent, i bet its possible.. but wrong channel.. | 03:58 |
| Jp | vzee-labs: under wubi you select what size you want the ubuntu partition to be, you must have put something like 3gb and its filling up fast | 03:58 |
| dli | lastent, you may install scim ibus, apt-cache search scim|grep -i chinese, etc. | 03:58 |
| yagoo | lastent, what's wrong with romanji? | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vzee-labs: also if you remove old kernels you can claw back ~120Mb per kernel | 03:58 |
| yagoo | lastent, yeah.. the scim named packages .. there's a whole list of them | 03:58 |
| Jp | actionparsnip: vzee-labs used wubi and did dual boot i think he/she might have selected a low space amount and not the full 30gb or 15gb per partition | 03:59 |
| lastent | yaaar, what is romanji? | 03:59 |
| vzee-labs | Jp: I think I gave the entire disk size of 30GB | 03:59 |
| dli | lastent, and ubuntu provides you a program im-switch (in preferences, input method switch) | 03:59 |
| Jp | zvee-labs: do you need windows at all? | 03:59 |
| maco | lastent: romaji is writing japanese words using roman characters | 03:59 |
| === bullgard4_ is now known as bullgard4 | ||

| Brownbear | unable to use my webcam when using ubuntu 10.10 | 04:00 |
| dli | vzee-labs, in long run, I don't like the very limited size of rootfs, you may have to redesign how you are going use the disk | 04:00 |
| vzee-labs | Jp: yes other at home use it | 04:00 |
| Brownbear | dell s1440-022b studio | 04:00 |
| vzee-labs | dli: ok | 04:00 |
| Brownbear | how do I get to make the webcam functional under ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| Jp | vzee-labs: the others will help you i don't really like dual-booting ubuntu and windows. | 04:01 |
| yagoo | maco, all the asian languages basically have roman character expression | 04:01 |
| bullgard4 | lastent: Yes, it is. | 04:01 |
| Jp | plus i have no experience there either | 04:01 |
| dli | Brownbear, it should be auto, you may test it with mplayer: mplayer tv:// | 04:01 |
| maco | yagoo: yeah, but they use different names for it ;-) | 04:01 |
| xangua | !webcam | 04:01 |
| xangua | Brownbear: is it supported¿ | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 04:01 |
| yagoo | maco, otherwise it'd be impossible to use modern computers... | 04:01 |
| Brownbear | thanks ubottu | 04:02 |
| dli | yagoo, chinese is not based on alphabetic | 04:02 |
| maco | yagoo: and roman characters do /not/ tell what a word means in any way. in japanese, hashi means chopsticks or bridge, and nori means glue or seaweed. its the kanji that tells the difference. same in chinese... ma means horse or mother or scold, depending on the hanzi | 04:02 |
| fishscene | This is driving me nuts. Does *anyone* make a decent FTP server for Ubuntu?? | 04:02 |
| yagoo | dli, no chinese is written with romaji (latin based characters).. and of course the other (hieroglyphs) | 04:02 |
| blakkheim | fishscene: vsftpd | 04:03 |
| ndroftheline | how do i pass a vga=xxx parameter to the kernel using grub2 | 04:03 |
| fishscene | blakkheim: that's the most promising of any I've tried, but you CAN NOT change the communication port from port 20 | 04:03 |
| maco | yagoo: chinese is normally written with hanzi. pinyin (chinese do *not* call it romaji! that is a japanese word!!!!) is used as a way of telling the computer to narrow down the list to 20 or so hanzi so you can input the correct character | 04:03 |
| yagoo | ndroftheline, choose edit bootline, (it says to hit e).. than choose line and append | 04:03 |
| dli | yagoo, japanese is a phonetic language, even if it took chinese characters from china | 04:03 |
| ndroftheline | yagoo: sure but that'll only work for that particular boot | 04:03 |
| ndroftheline | yagoo: i'd like it to be persistent | 04:04 |
| yagoo | maco, i'm not debating this with you. I didn't invent this. | 04:04 |
| yagoo | lol | 04:04 |
| fishscene | For whatever reason, I can change the control port (port 21), but after I connect, vsftp won't send me a list of contents and disconnects me | 04:04 |
| dli | maco, if you do: apt-cache search scim|grep -i chinese, you can see many encoding methods for chinese | 04:04 |
| === greenQ is now known as superbenjo | ||
| maco | dli: yeah i know there's more than just pinyin for chinese, but its the most common. | 04:05 |
| maco | for mandarin, at least | 04:05 |
| ndroftheline | can anybody help me with my display resolution problem | 04:05 |
| maco | taiwanese would use something else, i think, since they use bopomofo | 04:05 |
| ndroftheline | i'm trying to pass a vga=xxx argument to the kernel | 04:05 |
| ndroftheline | can't figure out how to make it stick with grub2 | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | fishscene: sftp is more secure, ftp is really bad for security. If you are only using it for lan access then its fine but over www it will not be a good choice | 04:05 |
| Brownbear | xangua: yet to find out. just installing UVC. will update in a short while | 04:05 |
| dli | maco, hard to say which one is the "common" :) since chinese is not phonetic, people are free to use whatever encoding for computers | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ndroftheline: add it in /etc/default/grub | 04:06 |
| maco | dli: and by the way, i dont see "many" with that command...i see only "scim-chinese" :P | 04:06 |
| maco | and the scim-tables-zh which is the data set for scim-chinese | 04:06 |
| fishscene | ActionParsnip: I need something that will use FTP protocol (I don't care about web access) that give the user full access to their homefolder. | 04:06 |
| adrock2 | are there any known issues with the printing subsystem with manual duplex in maverick? | 04:06 |
| maco | dli: pinyin is what is taught in schools though, isnt it? | 04:06 |
| ndroftheline | actionparsnip under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or what | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | fishscene: samba will do it, you will need to run: smbpasswd -a username as they will need to authenticate as themselves for access to their $HOME | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ndroftheline: in the quotes with: quiet splash | 04:07 |
| fishscene | Samba can host an FTP server? | 04:07 |
| ndroftheline | oic | 04:07 |
| ndroftheline | kewl | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ndroftheline: then save the new file and run: sudo update-grub | 04:07 |
| dli | maco, this one might be better: apt-cache search ibus-table | 04:07 |
| ndroftheline | ActionParsnip yes indeed thanks! | 04:07 |
| radhruin | Applications are freezing up quite frequently on my machine (they appear "greyed out"). I notice the following: Load average is very high (over 4 on a 4cpu system), but actual CPU use is low. Very little io is happening (according to iotop). | 04:08 |
| radhruin | The processes that are frozen are "uninterruptable" and have wait channels like "do_get_write_access" and "blkdev_issue_flush", so seems to be waiting on io. Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem further? Sounsd like a hardware issue but SMART shows this drive as healthy... | 04:08 |
| adrock2 | what does vmstat look like? | 04:09 |
| dli | radhruin, what about "free -m" | 04:09 |
| fishscene | Like I said, vsftp seemed to be the perfect solution, but there seems to be no way to make it work through NAT if you change the port from port 21. (Yes, I forwarded the ports correctly) | 04:09 |
| Brownbear | xangua, dli: installed GUVCViewer, working good. thanks for the heads up. | 04:09 |
| maco | dli: wowza. i never looked through all them before because i speak japanese not chinese (just know enough about chinese to know the difference ;-) ) but dang. though...hehe there's a LaTeX one in there | 04:09 |
| AbhiJit | what is unity? | 04:09 |
| dli | maco, no, pinyin is only for PR China(maybe singapore), but not in taiwan | 04:10 |
| fishscene | Is there a vsftp channel or something? | 04:10 |
| AbhiJit | is unity == gnome == kde (i.e. all are de)? | 04:10 |
| maco | dli: i thought i said that in taiwan they probably use somethig diffrent... | 04:10 |
| yagoo | dli,maco, romance romance.. romanization with love people. | 04:10 |
| rigved | !info unity | AbhiJit | 04:10 |
| ubottu | AbhiJit: unity (source: unity): Unity Interface for Ubuntu Netbook Edition. In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.46-0ubuntu5 (maverick), package size 125 kB, installed size 484 kB | 04:10 |
| maco | AbhiJit: gnome and kde are both DEs. unity is just a shell | 04:10 |
| AbhiJit | rigved, maco ok | 04:10 |
| maco | AbhiJit: the difference is unity doesnt have a whole new set of default aps | 04:10 |
| radhruin | dli, adrock2: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=y5vz08k6 | 04:11 |
| AbhiJit | maco, so in naaty we will have unity on to of gnome? | 04:11 |
| dli | maco, Chinese is the only major language which is not phonetic nowadays, that's why the confusion | 04:11 |
| ndroftheline | ActionParsnip why can't i tab your name? i see that the vga=773 is now in the kernel argument but it hasn't affected my console resolution. | 04:11 |
| yagoo | fishscene, ftp uses 2 ports.. maybe vsftp uses two ports as well.. I know for a ftp server to work properly behind a NAT server.. the NAT server has to support it | 04:11 |
| maco | AbhiJit: yep | 04:11 |
| AbhiJit | maco, ok | 04:11 |
| zenmower | is there away to completely uninstall gnome | 04:11 |
| zenmower | and just leave the command line | 04:11 |
| radhruin | dli/adrock2: the drive also has 12gb or so free space remaining. | 04:11 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: it's not a usb disk is it? | 04:12 |
| maco | dli: japanese isnt really either... reading japanese thats written entirely in hiragana is *horrendously* painful. they dont have spaces! hard to find where words break if you dont use all the kanji you can | 04:12 |
| radhruin | adrock2: no sir. | 04:12 |
| xangua | !purekde | zenmower | 04:12 |
| ubottu | zenmower: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 04:12 |
| adrock2 | sata? | 04:12 |
| dli | radhruin, memory usuage seems to be ok to me, what about cpu usage? top | 04:12 |
| maco | dli: and there are a *ton* of homophones in japanese just like in chinese | 04:12 |
| xangua | !minimal | 04:12 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:12 |
| radhruin | adrock2: yes, WD velociraptor that, up until this point, was blazing fast :) | 04:12 |
| xangua | zenmower: you maybe would be more interested in minimal | 04:12 |
| zenmower | yeah i dont want kde either | 04:12 |
| AbhiJit | maco, where is unity web site? | 04:12 |
| zenmower | i just want bash | 04:12 |
| maco | AbhiJit: i dont think it has a separate one | 04:12 |
| ndroftheline | !vga | 04:12 |
| fishscene | yagoo. Correct. By default, it uses port 20 and 21 (20 = comms port) (21= control port). If I forward JUST port 21 to the server, it works. I don't need to do anything for port 20. If I change the control port to say, 201 and forward port 201 to my server, I can connect and get my directory just fine. But the List command never gets a response from the server and I'm disconnected. | 04:12 |
| yagoo | maco dli, if the world was perfect there'd be like three languages.. Latin, Asian and African.. and maybe one or two more... | 04:12 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: run 'vmstat 1' and let it go for a while, then paste | 04:13 |
| maco | zenmower: follow the purekde directions minus the "install kde" part :P | 04:13 |
| zenmower | k | 04:13 |
| zenmower | thanks | 04:13 |
| radhruin | dli: top shows no processes soaking up CPU, but as I mentioned, when apps are freezing up, the load average spikes. This is likely because hte processes are waiting on IO and I think this inflates load average? | 04:13 |
| maco | yagoo: thatd be no fun | 04:13 |
| AbhiJit | hmm | 04:13 |
| yagoo | maco, dli, but sounds like you two want to create new languages.. comeon!! | 04:13 |
| radhruin | adrock2: what's a while? :) | 04:13 |
| dli | maco, I'm chinese, but this is a ubuntu channel :( | 04:13 |
| adrock2 | ionno 30s... until you seem something freeze up | 04:13 |
| maco | yagoo: hmm you're reminding me i havent studied any african languages, just romance, slavic, asian, and visual... | 04:13 |
| adrock2 | er, see | 04:13 |
| Basic_binary | would anybody know what theme is being used in this screenshot? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Glade_Screenshot_2.png | 04:14 |
| Loshki | fishscene: #vsftpd appears to exist. How lucky is that? | 04:14 |
| adrock2 | try to capture vmstat output while it's acting screwy | 04:14 |
| realeyes | hey guys | 04:14 |
| adrock2 | and you looked at the kernel messages with dmesg, yes? | 04:14 |
| realeyes | i need help with my grub screen | 04:14 |
| fishscene | aha! I tried vsftp earlier... rofl. Thanks Loshki. :D | 04:14 |
| dli | radhruin, like updatedb, trackerd, or a busy server | 04:14 |
| realeyes | it wont show ver. 10.10 because i upgraded w/o a CD | 04:14 |
| realeyes | do I need to re-install from live CD? | 04:15 |
| yagoo | maco, dli for yuo two -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto lol | 04:15 |
| yagoo | maco, dli neutrality please! hahaha | 04:15 |
| maco | yagoo: not enough people speak it. being able to speak many languages seems more useful | 04:15 |
| dli | yagoo, no interest in that, already speaking the language of the most popular choice, no reason the switch to one of the least | 04:15 |
| yagoo | maco, actually impressively mentioned in wiki is alot speak it.. it is used internationally with certain organizations | 04:16 |
| earthshade | I give up ubuntu, you win | 04:16 |
| radhruin | dli: I have trackerd disabled, but top does not show anything taking large amounts of cpu. | 04:16 |
| sakekasi | is there an easy way to list all the dependencies of a metapackage recursively? | 04:16 |
| blackshirt | apt-cache depends | 04:16 |
| sakekasi | thanks blackshirt | 04:16 |
| blackshirt | sakekasi: you're welcome | 04:17 |
| earthshade | Does wubi use 10.10? | 04:17 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Hey all | 04:17 |
| D3luSi0n4L | can someone help me real quick | 04:17 |
| dli | radhruin, get some benchmarking tools, try the difference between normal login, and single user | 04:17 |
| sakekasi | is there any way to change that into a script to remove all said depends blackshirt? | 04:17 |
| earthshade | Ubuntu is destroying my life | 04:17 |
| yagoo | fishscene, sftp is so much easier.. but somewhat slower of course.. (just port forwarding with NAT router simply works) | 04:17 |
| blackshirt | earthsade: are you using wubi to dual booting linux and windows ?? | 04:17 |
| earthshade | blackshirt: Mhm | 04:18 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my hp laptop but I don't wanna get rid of my restore partition. So I select specific partition but i don't know what i should choose to format it to? | 04:18 |
| D3luSi0n4L | it gives me a long list | 04:18 |
| radhruin | adrock2: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=fGkxXYw4. Right around when the headers were printed a second time, pidgin froze up. | 04:18 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ntfs, FAT32 Journal, or something, etc etc | 04:18 |
| fishscene | yagoo, would that be ssh FTP? | 04:18 |
| blackshirt | earthsade: i wouldn't recommend that ... | 04:18 |
| * sakekasi wants to install ubuntu netbook but also easily remove it. | 04:19 | |
| yagoo | fishscene, sftp runs under ssh.. yeah.. so by default its port 22 | 04:19 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: anything in dmesg output? | 04:19 |
| D3luSi0n4L | anyone please? | 04:19 |
| dli | D3luSi0n4L, you can resize your existing partition, shrink the one with most free space | 04:19 |
| circlez | D3luSi0n4L: don't format your recovery partition. Format the partition you want ubuntu on to ext4 | 04:19 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ya but how during installation? | 04:19 |
| blackshirt | sakekasi: you mean, convert output to script ?? | 04:19 |
| D3luSi0n4L | if i choose "Select Partition" | 04:19 |
| fishscene | yagoo: If it will work with a regular ftp client, then I'll look into it | 04:19 |
| D3luSi0n4L | it gives me a screen with my 3 partitions | 04:19 |
| D3luSi0n4L | one my primary windows one | 04:19 |
| D3luSi0n4L | other 2 are HP parittions | 04:20 |
| sakekasi | blackshirt: I want to install ubuntu-netbook but have a command that I can copy-paste into terminal to remove the whole thing with all dependencies. | 04:20 |
| D3luSi0n4L | when I double click the primary windows one | 04:20 |
| D3luSi0n4L | i have to choose which format I want it? | 04:20 |
| radhruin | adrock2: /var/log/dmesg or someplace else? | 04:20 |
| D3luSi0n4L | or something | 04:20 |
| bullgard4 | yagoo, dli, CaneToad My bug seemed to be caused by a huge distant-upgrade in combination with a hard-disk error. -- Thank you for commenting. | 04:20 |
| D3luSi0n4L | it won't let me choose " format partition" unless I choose one from the list | 04:20 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, you want ubuntu natively on the HD? then do this- 1-backup data 2-chkdsk/defrag from within windows 3-use ubuntu installer&CustomPartition--(3: resize the Fat or ntfs partition, then make the ext3 or ext4 partition etc) | 04:20 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: just type dmesg, it'll spit out the most recent messages | 04:20 |
| radhruin | mm k | 04:20 |
| circlez | dmesg | 04:21 |
| D3luSi0n4L | woah im lost, sorry yagoo im new to this disk crap | 04:21 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Personal Message me? | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: the partition you make will need to be extended, as you can ONLY have 4 primary partitions on a disk | 04:21 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: also, have a gander at /var/log/messages and look for where the driver for the drive spits out messages. it might be falling back to some weird slow/compatibility mode | 04:21 |
| yagoo | fishscene, you need an sftp client.. btw if u dont want users to having to install sftp clients.. u can simply use a java-sshsftp front end from a webbrowser.. | 04:21 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Ok | 04:22 |
| * sakekasi was afk until now | 04:22 | |
| radhruin | adrock2: Checked that already, it's good. | 04:22 |
| rodolfo | hi, do you know what package do i need to use a sony camera? | 04:22 |
| radhruin | adrock2: I tailed /var/log/dmesg, found nothing, but typing dmesg shows recent messages that seem relevant. Give me a second. | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: you can then make logical partitions on the extended partition. I assume the others are primary | 04:22 |
| yagoo | fishscene, konqueror, nautilus and filezilla support sftp | 04:22 |
| fishscene | ah. excellent | 04:22 |
| ndroftheline | grub2 makes it effin impossible to change my framebuffer resolution. anybody have a fix? | 04:22 |
| D3luSi0n4L | so i should make another partition in windows, install ubuntu to that partition, then format the windows partition from linux, then merge my linux and formely windows now empty partitions together? | 04:22 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: if you're having disk problems, the file may lag the message buffer that is printed by dmesg | 04:22 |
| circlez | D3luSi0n4L: no | 04:23 |
| radhruin | adrock2: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=vzqPbfGv | 04:23 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, just do the first two steps at least.. the #2 i mention will speed up any resize on the ntfs or fat partition (ntfs or fat filesystems is used by windows)(ext3 or ext4 is used by linux( | 04:23 |
| RoC_MasterMind | anybody else playing with btrfs and get "btrfs: unable to remove the only writeable device" in their kernel log when removing a drive from a multi-drive btrfs? | 04:23 |
| dli | D3luSi0n4L, if you don't want to keep windows, choose to format the windows partition, otherwise, shrink it | 04:23 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ahh ok | 04:23 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: yeah, that's bad. | 04:23 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I wanna get rid of windows | 04:23 |
| radhruin | adrock2: looks like a hardware problem eh? I'll try reseating the cable but otherwise... :( | 04:24 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, yah but back it up .. if the resize gets screwed up u can lose alot of data | 04:24 |
| D3luSi0n4L | i dont have any data | 04:24 |
| blackshirt | sakekashi: just purging, you will remove dependencies to | 04:24 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: reseat the cable, maybe try a different cable or different port. | 04:24 |
| dli | RoC_MasterMind, sometimes, you have to add a new one before you can remove | 04:24 |
| radhruin | adrock2: I bet it's the cable. No way it could be this bad but SMART isn't complaining... | 04:24 |
| blackshirt | sakekashi: just purging, you will remove dependencies too | 04:24 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Its a brand new laptop | 04:24 |
| D3luSi0n4L | absolutely no data | 04:24 |
| RoC_MasterMind | dli, but....I have plenty of free space! | 04:24 |
| circlez | D3luSi0n4L: Than just delete the windows part. Keep the two back up ones incase Linux doesn't work out for you. | 04:24 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok but how do i got about deleting the windows part? | 04:24 |
| dli | RoC_MasterMind, try to add a new one and try again still | 04:25 |
| radhruin | adrock2: great ideas. Thank you for your help! I learned something new: just type dmesg instead of tailing the log :) I owe you a beer! | 04:25 |
| RoC_MasterMind | doh | 04:25 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, nah keep the windows part.. if u need an emergency access for anything (eg: bios upgrade or need a network working) | 04:25 |
| sakekasi | how do I change the default login session for ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| D3luSi0n4L | yagoo | 04:25 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: if you press CTRL+ALT+T you can run: sudo fdisk -l and show the partition names, what are they called | 04:25 |
| adrock2 | radhruin: good luck! | 04:25 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I'm installing linux for a couple of days then im going back t owindows with a fresh start | 04:25 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Action I'm in windows right now | 04:25 |
| blackshirt | sakekashi: on option screen at login window | 04:25 |
| D3luSi0n4L | my wifi doesn't work in Linux without drivers | 04:25 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, i know that's good.. but you'll learn how to fix the boot loaders too :p | 04:26 |
| sakekasi | blackshirt ok thanks | 04:26 |
| sosaited | Where can I find latest release of Glib for Lucid? | 04:26 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ..? | 04:26 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, nmind :)... | 04:26 |
| madav | can someone please tell, is there any application in the ubuntu which uses the phonet protocol? | 04:26 |
| rodolfo | hi, do anyone know what package do i need to use a sony camera? | 04:26 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok look so i click "choose partition" | 04:27 |
| yagoo | madav, never heard of that.. wtf is that? | 04:27 |
| D3luSi0n4L | i double click it | 04:27 |
| D3luSi0n4L | then it gives me a new windows "Edit Partition" | 04:27 |
| zenmower | That worked great | 04:27 |
| dli | rodolfo, I suggestion shotwell from gnome | 04:27 |
| zenmower | Thanks | 04:27 |
| D3luSi0n4L | in their what format should i choose? by default its set to "do nothing" or something similar | 04:27 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, how powerful is that laptop btw? (if it's powerful enough.. u can easily abuse virtualbox or vmware) | 04:27 |
| rodolfo | yes | 04:27 |
| rodolfo | but there is an error when i connect the camera | 04:28 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, or on any other machine pwoerful enough (toying around with vbox is very safe) | 04:28 |
| D3luSi0n4L | yagoo I'm sending the laptop in for repairs and the windows I'm running is not legit I just want Linux on and then im gonna buy windows when it gets back | 04:28 |
| madav | yagoo, i dono about wtf, phonet is the protocol developed by the nokia, the source can be found in the net/phonet | 04:28 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Ive used linux before | 04:28 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, lol.. you're ditiching linux in 3-4 days .. why install it then? | 04:28 |
| D3luSi0n4L | and this laptop is fine Dualcore, 4gb ram, 17.3" led screen etc etc | 04:28 |
| D3luSi0n4L | well if the time comes and I'm used to it im gonna reinstall a legit copy of windows | 04:29 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, lol | 04:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I also have linux on my old laptop | 04:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | but that old laptop is slow as bawls | 04:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | 512mb ram, single core, etc | 04:29 |
| yagoo | anyone wants to help D3luSi0n4L ditch his linux for windows in 3-4 days? be my guest hehehe | 04:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | yagoo | 04:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I'm going to keep it but thats another day | 04:29 |
| circlez | D3luSi0n4L: Damn Small Linux will turn the old laptop into something useable. | 04:29 |
| madav | yagoo, i wanted to study how that protocol works, what is the best way to do that, can you please help | 04:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | circlez: lol I know you should of seen XP on it =) | 04:30 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, actually u can make a reserve partition for the windows... | 04:30 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ..... | 04:30 |
| yagoo | nmind.. | 04:30 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, your laptop is in repairs.. ok | 04:30 |

| D3luSi0n4L | lemme clarify just incase anyones confused | 04:30 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Im on my new laptop I want to boot into linux from the disk, then choose the primary partition, format this one partition and install linux on this one partition | 04:31 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I dont wanna touch the other partitions | 04:31 |
| carlos | Hola ubuntureros | 04:31 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest72718 | ||
| circlez | greetings | 04:31 |

| D3luSi0n4L | when i goto choose my partition though, with windows on it it won't let me format it without choosing a format | 04:32 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, how many partitions are there again? | 04:32 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, you'll need a swap partition too | 04:32 |
| === Guest72718 is now known as CharlieBrown | ||
| D3luSi0n4L | ?? | 04:32 |
| D3luSi0n4L | wtf I never knew this was sooo damn complicated | 04:32 |
| circlez | D3luSi0n4L: ext3. Don't worry about swap for the few days | 04:32 |
| circlez | D3luSi0n4L: use ext3 | 04:32 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok ty circlez | 04:32 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, minimal # partitions for linux would be two. One for "/" and the other for memory-swap.. | 04:32 |
| sosaited | D3luSi0n4L: ext3 or ext4 is fine | 04:32 |
| D3luSi0n4L | that was all I need lol | 04:32 |
| D3luSi0n4L | is there a difference sosaited ? | 04:33 |
| D3luSi0n4L | if it makes a difference its a 320gb 7200rpm drive | 04:33 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, yeah, u can choose the default install and have the whole HD wiped out.. it'll do the swap partition automatically.. | 04:33 |
| circlez | yagoo: Does ubuntu require a swap? I've used other distros without a swap. | 04:33 |
| D3luSi0n4L | i mean between ext3 & 4 | 04:33 |
| sosaited | D3luSi0n4L: Yeah a few. Like ext4 supports File Creation timestamps .. ext3 doesn't. | 04:33 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok so which should I do? | 04:33 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, i believe it chooses ext4 .. but dont worry about that... | 04:33 |
| D3luSi0n4L | or would you recommend? | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: ext4 is default, i'd go for that | 04:34 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok ty | 04:34 |
| yagoo | D3luSi0n4L, doesnt really matter.. ext4 is made for futuristic =>1TB drives.. | 04:34 |
| sosaited | D3luSi0n4L: If this is your first time with Ubuntu BUT you have a laptop with no problems of power failures or improper shutdowns, ext4 | 04:34 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ill be back if this works! | 04:34 |
| circlez | Hello #ubuntu. How do I give additional users sudo powers? | 04:35 |
| sosaited | D3luSi0n4L: Format the primary partition, and then create an ext4 root ( / ) on it, and a smaller (2.5x or more your RAM) Swap one | 04:35 |

| ilovefairuz1 | circlez: sudo EDITOR=nano visudo | 04:35 |
| blackshirt | sosaited: you can add it to the admin user.. | 04:35 |
| blakkheim | lol EDITOR=nano | 04:36 |
| bastid_raZor | circlez: add them to the admin groups .... in a terminal type: sudo adduser username admin ..change username to the user you want with sudo | 04:36 |
| sosaited | So, where do I get latest releases of Glib then? | 04:36 |
| circlez | bastid_raZor: Can the adduser command be used even when it is not a new user? | 04:36 |

| bastid_raZor | circlez: yes | 04:37 |
| ilovefairuz1 | sosaited: what are you trying to accomplish? | 04:37 |

| sosaited | ilovefairuz1: I have been hitting my head with Tracker trying to index my 1.9TB of data, but for one reason or another I cant seem to succeed. Now I have found out that the reason it is slow when resuming crawling after a restart is because It cant enable "Journal tracking" because Glib version I have doesn't support it | 04:38 |
| dli | rodolfo, some cameras allow mass storage mode, while some don't | 04:39 |
| rodolfo | i know | 04:39 |
| sosaited | ilovefairuz1: I have tracker 0.9.27. Compiled it. | 04:39 |
| rodolfo | but ive got an error | 04:39 |
| dli | rodolfo, shotwell, digikam are the easiest way | 04:39 |
| ilovefairuz1 | sosaited: and what version of glib supports such journal tracking? | 04:40 |
| sosaited | ilovefairuz1: I think >2.14 | 04:40 |
| rodolfo | it says Could not open the device (null) from (null) | 04:41 |
| kadgar | Hi, I installed ubuntu 10.10 on an external hard drive using macbook pro. I used super grub2 disk and booted in, for some reason I have to hold down enter when I select use usb *experimental and then it shows the ubuntu install. However, it freezes when I see the ubuntu install so I can't boot in :( anyone have any ideas??? | 04:41 |
| === ilovefairuz1 is now known as ilovefairuz | ||
| rodolfo | and it is on mass storage mode | 04:41 |
| dli | rodolfo, is your camera on and with computer mode | 04:41 |
| rodolfo | yes | 04:41 |
| circlez | kadgar: esata or usb2.0? | 04:42 |
| dli | rodolfo, any file manager should read it then, try: nautilus --no-desktop | 04:42 |
| kadgar | usb 2.0 | 04:42 |
| rodolfo | ok | 04:42 |
| kwamaking | anyone have any problems with internal speakers and headphones simultaneously playing audio | 04:42 |
| circlez | kadgar: no ideas | 04:43 |
| dli | kwamaking, it may not be possible due to hardware | 04:43 |
| sosaited | ilovefairuz: Or maybe it is >2.4 :s . I am trying to find out on #tracker at gimpnet. But no one is replying there for now. | 04:43 |
| kwamaking | dli i've got a strange jack, it doesn't disable the internal speakers when i insert the headphones | 04:44 |
| rodolfo | it says ** (nautilus:5674): WARNING **: Failed to get the current CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '5674' | 04:44 |
| kadgar | Hmm, well its kinda weird too because if I press use usb experimental and press enter it freezes right away but when I hold on enter it gets to screen where it shows available oses and then freezes | 04:44 |
| kwamaking | it does in windows, and earlier versions of ubuntu | 04:44 |
| kwamaking | however it doesn't in 10.10 | 04:44 |
| rodolfo | (nautilus:5674): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed | 04:44 |

| === ubuntu is now known as magn3tic | ||
| magn3tic | what impact is there to me putting grub on a drive other than /dev/sda? | 04:45 |
| kadgar | is there something besides super grub2 disk i could use to boot into external drive on a mac book pro? | 04:45 |
| magn3tic | I'm installing ubuntu to /dev/sdc so is it safe to put grub there? Will my computer know to look there? | 04:45 |
| xidica | magn3tic, as long as you tell the bios to look there to boot it should be fine | 04:46 |
| dli | magn3tic, you may choose which disk to boot in bios | 04:46 |
| kwamaking | any suggestions dli ? | 04:46 |
| yagoo | bye and be nice :) | 04:46 |
| circlez | kadgar: look into lilo | 04:46 |
| dli | kwamaking, no idea :(maybe, pulseaudio knows better | 04:46 |
| magn3tic | xidica: dli: do most bioses allow you to choose the drive? | 04:46 |
| Ninja | anyone know of a linux game similar to rock band? | 04:46 |
| magn3tic | I guess I really don't care about NTLDR that much, I should just blow it away. | 04:47 |
| Ninja | or guitar hero | 04:47 |
| dli | magn3tic, usually, they allow you to decide the order for booting | 04:47 |
| xidica | magn3tic, certainly...just go to the boot options and make sure USB boot is enabled and set the order you want | 04:47 |

| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: awesome, which kernel should I choose from the download site? | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: the kernel which wil come down with updates | 05:27 |
| magik- | When first installing ubuntu i see a flash/logo screen and then it drops to the terminal.. basically: can not mount /dev/loop0 (Busy Box v1.15.3 | 05:27 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: im a little confused, should i just download the latest? Theres like 4 then 1 RC | 05:27 |
| magik- | there isn't any solutions on the forums | 05:27 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/ | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: those aren't kernels | 05:28 |
| New0 | metaphaze someone also give me that: | 05:29 |
| New0 | http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz | 05:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: my bad man, like i said im new to this, i mean release | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: grab the one with the highest version number | 05:29 |
| Nikkk | Hello ! can someone help me with my problem i'm encountering ??? I've installed ubuntu 10.04 recently, the function keys for altering brightness in Lenovo Y450 are not working...How do i fix it ? :( | 05:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: ok but not the RC correct? | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: you should keep the source after too as you will need to recompile after each new kernel | 05:29 |
| New0 | but the Q: how much time can it be done ? | 05:29 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: umm source? you mean the link to the site? | 05:30 |
| phirestalker | ok what is with bug buddy, I know I have installed all the dbg packages I can find and it still says it can't gather enough information???? | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | D3luSi0n4L: the thing you download from the site is the source code for your wireless driver, it is going to be compiled against your kernel, so when you get another it will need redoing | 05:31 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok | 05:31 |
| phirestalker | I guess the gnome bug system is just not as advanced as the kde bug system as the kde one will give you all the details of the errors so you can see what it couldn't find in symbols and install them, there is no details button for bug "buddy" | 05:32 |
| phirestalker | what a dark day when kde is better than gnome | 05:32 |
| quibbler | Nikkk-> have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594551 | 05:32 |
| Balsaq | kde is better? i didnt know that? | 05:32 |
| Cairo | thanks | 05:32 |
| phirestalker | kde is better when programs who try to do too much ahem... Evolution crash and gnome can't give you the details you need | 05:33 |
| Balsaq | oh great | 05:33 |
| Balsaq | i just added ubuntu to 4 of my gd computers | 05:34 |
| Balsaq | i always thought gnome was king int he world of linux | 05:34 |
| phirestalker | I'll tell you what user friendly is... NOT having to install separate packages for debugging symbols, I mean you don't see windows asking for that when reporting crashes | 05:35 |
| snuxoll | phirestalker: why waste disk space? | 05:35 |
| phirestalker | because it isn't a waste when shit crashes so much | 05:35 |
| snuxoll | phirestalker: the installation disc is cramped as is, do you want us to require DVD's just to cram debugging symbols in? | 05:35 |
| IdleOne | !language | phirestalker | 05:35 |
| ubottu | phirestalker: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 05:35 |
| sigjuice | is there a way to tell bash to skip all startup file initialization (/etc/profile, ~/.bashrc etc)? | 05:36 |
| phirestalker | snuxoll, sure nowadays with all the fast internet and cheap dvds why not? | 05:36 |
| sigjuice | btw, I was looking for bash-dbgsym or similar and can't seem to find it. | 05:37 |
| metaphaze | phirestalker, because I live in Wyoming | 05:37 |
| snuxoll | phirestalker: not everybody has fast internet or a DVD burner | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sigjuice: you could have a script to run: source ~/.nothing; commands and have ~/.nothing as a blank file, after the comamnds make the script run: source ~/.bashrc | 05:37 |
| Balsaq | maybe ubuntu could aslo offer a diagnostic disk separate to those who enjoy a lil extra bloat? | 05:37 |
| Balsaq | put all kinds of stuff-utilities on it. debugging software and everything! | 05:38 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi guys, my gnome applications menu is empty...if I click on edit menu nothing happens | 05:38 |
| phirestalker | well either bug buddy is retarded or the gnome-dbg meta package doesn't depend on enough, how do I find out what dbg packages I need to install in the new "user friendly" bug buddy world? | 05:39 |
| Balsaq | dhruvasagar, i would do a repair installation | 05:39 |
| snuxoll | phirestalker: the -dbg package for whatever is being crashtastic? | 05:39 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: repair installation ? how ? | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dhruvasagar: if you run: alacarte in terminal, do you get output? | 05:39 |
| phirestalker | snuxoll, ya I have that installed, oh it's evolution by the way | 05:39 |
| phirestalker | snuxoll, my guess is that it is some library that evolution depends on, but as much as evolution TRIES to do, I could be looking through thousands of libraries | 05:40 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: while doing the installation directions | 05:40 |
| phirestalker | snuxoll, you see my dilemma? | 05:40 |
| dhruvasagar | ActionParsnip: yes I do get some output http://paste.ubuntu.com/524266/ | 05:40 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ActionParsnip: i did the sudo make install, it went through its process now it was "INSTALL" a bunch of items then ti went to "FATAL" and id a bunch of a things, now its not moving? | 05:41 |
| Balsaq | sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop i dunno maybe like that? | 05:41 |
| D3luSi0n4L | nvm ill btb | 05:41 |
| D3luSi0n4L | brb | 05:41 |
| sigjuice | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure I follow. I am trying to get an interactive bash shell that has completely skipped /etc/profile and the like. | 05:41 |
| Balsaq | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 05:41 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: was that for me ? that sounds quote stupid to me | 05:41 |
| Balsaq | While booting, Ubuntu provides a way to go into boot menu just like any other operating system and in the menu it provides an option to boot into recovery mode. | 05:42 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: yes I am aware of that | 05:42 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: I am not sure if you are talking to me... | 05:42 |
| Balsaq | dhruvasagar, di u ever have a good installation to begin with? | 05:42 |
| sigjuice | ActionParsnip: nevermind. I think I figured it out. I need bash --noprofile | 05:43 |
| dhruvasagar | ActionParsnip: there is an error, does it help you in identifying what's wrong ? | 05:43 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: of course | 05:43 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: I have been upgrading since ubuntu 8.04 on this very machine, never had to re-install | 05:44 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: I am on 10.04 right now | 05:44 |
| knightwise | good morning | 05:44 |
| knightwise | i havee a problem when i insert a usb key | 05:44 |
| dhruvasagar | knightwise: very good morning :) | 05:44 |
| phirestalker | dhruvasagar, lucky you, I have to reinstall when I build my new system so I can start on 64 bit :P | 05:45 |
| Balsaq | dhruvasagar, i noticed some strange behavior when i installed 10.04, and i ended up sticking in ext 3 and for me the oddities disappeared ...coincidence..dunno. | 05:45 |
| dhruvasagar | phirestalker: I have been on 64 bit since the beginning | 05:45 |
| knightwise | the default entry for the device name ( in /media/ ) is borked up to "test.txt" instead of the drives name | 05:45 |
| knightwise | any ideas how i can fix that ? | 05:45 |
| knightwise | good morning dhruvasagar | 05:45 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: hmmm I am on ext4... | 05:45 |
| phirestalker | oh my god!!! you killed kenny!! | 05:46 |
| phirestalker | you b*$tards | 05:46 |
| Balsaq | on certain computers, depending on what u are doing, ext 4 has had some issues. | 05:46 |
| knightwise | exit | 05:46 |
| phirestalker | sorry couldn't help myself :| | 05:46 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: ok, although I have a difficult time believing that the menu problem has got anything to do with it | 05:46 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: I was having perfectly good menu, I think my system crashed because of some memory issue in the middle of when I was editing the menu | 05:47 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: its kinda clear to me that the config file or whatever the menu uses must have gotten corrupted then | 05:47 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: I am trying to get some help fixing it | 05:47 |
| Balsaq | mine was crashing during updates and noone could help me | 05:48 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: that's unfortunate | 05:48 |
| Balsaq | so i did some reading and did wut i had to do | 05:48 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: but how can I migrate to ext3 without destroying my data ? | 05:48 |
| redfox | #ubuntu-br | 05:48 |
| Balsaq | back it up | 05:48 |

| === redfox is now known as Guest27780 | ||
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: I will consider doing that sometime soon perhaps | 05:49 |
| Balsaq | funny thing is i had the same issue with xubuntu 1004 | 05:49 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: same issue ? | 05:49 |
| Balsaq | it would get seemngly deep inti the updates.... | 05:49 |
| bl01zk | is Ubuntu 10.10 worth updating too/ | 05:49 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: ahh ok | 05:49 |
| almoxarife | Balsaq: my facebook is broke, should I go back to ext3? | 05:50 |
| dhruvasagar | bl01zk: definitely | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | and then after hours i would ssat wtf is this? | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | and noone knew | 05:50 |
| Silivrenion | Need some help... I have a laptop hooked up to an external monitor. At night, I shut off the external, and close my laptop screen (the residual light annoys me)... apparently ubuntu thinks that it should change my monitor configuration to use one monitor when I do this. How do I get it to not change configurations automatically? | 05:50 |
| dhruvasagar | almoxarife: what do you mean your facebook is broke ? | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | so i would be forced to crash it myself | 05:50 |
| netjunk | can scp copy a remote folder to the localhost?? | 05:50 |
| phirestalker | bl01zk, if you have nvidia then YES for sure | 05:50 |
| Stormx2 | phirestalker, why is 10.10 good for nvidia users? | 05:50 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: you should check out your monitors preferences | 05:50 |
| dhruvasagar | Balsaq: hmm | 05:51 |
| Silivrenion | laptop monitors don't turn off.. they keep powered on | 05:51 |
| dhruvasagar | phirestalker: I have nvidia, am I missing something ? :), I wanna know too | 05:51 |
| phirestalker | Stormx2, because the previous drivers sucked, in that they didn't handle vdpau very well at least for me and some other issues | 05:51 |
| Silivrenion | my regular monitor would power off if I needed it to, but the laptop panel just stays brightly lit | 05:51 |
| rdw200169 | netjunk: yes. | 05:51 |
| Silivrenion | thats why i need the monitors configuration to not change if i close the lid | 05:52 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: you mean when you close the lid of your laptop, it still stays on ? | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | netjunk: sure | 05:52 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: you need to check your power management preferences then | 05:52 |
| Silivrenion | if i close the lid of my laptop, monitor resolutions are reconfigured to use single display | 05:52 |
| Silivrenion | i want to prevent that reconfiguration | 05:52 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: you can make your computer either go on stand-by or hibernate when you close the lid...I am sure you should be able to figure out which suits you best | 05:53 |
| netjunk | thanks | 05:53 |
| Silivrenion | no, no | 05:53 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: hmm | 05:53 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: reading | 05:53 |
| Silivrenion | k | 05:53 |
| Balsaq | now when i stuffed 10.04 in my new i7 using wubi...it didnt do any of this wacky stuff....runs beautiful, but my older stuff seems to want it on ext 3? | 05:53 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: do you use nvidia ? | 05:53 |
| Silivrenion | no | 05:53 |
| phirestalker | alright all I'm out, unfortunately I have to work tomorrow | 05:53 |
| Balsaq | 10-4 boss | 05:54 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: please check System -> Preferences -> Monitors | 05:54 |
| Silivrenion | checking for? | 05:54 |
| sresu | Upgrading to Meerkat affects fonts and display? | 05:54 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: it will be a lot easier if you just open it :) | 05:55 |
| Silivrenion | it's open.. what is your suggestion? | 05:55 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: are both your monitors connected right now ? | 05:55 |
| Silivrenion | yes | 05:55 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: you should be able to see both the monitors configurations | 05:55 |
| Silivrenion | yes | 05:56 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: ur problem is the fact that the resolution gets changed after you close the lid, am I right ? | 05:56 |
| Silivrenion | yes.. the Laptop display is turned "off" in monitor preferences, causing the external monitor to take "Same Image on All Monitors" mode | 05:57 |
| Silivrenion | when i open back up the lid of the laptop, I have to reconfigure my monitor settings again | 05:57 |
| Silivrenion | (and that's a pain) | 05:58 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: doesn't just using the switch to monitor button do that for you ? | 05:58 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: or are you trying to use both the monitors at the same time ? | 05:58 |
| Silivrenion | i use both at the same time, or none at all | 05:58 |
| Silivrenion | i never switch.. it's not a "docked" configuration | 05:58 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: I use nvidia so its a little difficult for me to explain, but x display configuration allows me to control the way I want to use multiple monitors | 05:59 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: can you show me a screen shot of your monitor prefs ? | 05:59 |
| Silivrenion | sure, one moment | 05:59 |
| WXZ | how do I automatically lock my screen after a certain amount of time | 05:59 |
| blackshirt | you can configure it through screensaver properties | 06:00 |
| WXZ | don't have preferences > screensaver | 06:00 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: check power management | 06:00 |
| nebz | Hi all... i need some suggestions ... my network looks like this Internet ---> Router ---> eth0 - ubuntu server eth1 ---> client machine..... i want the client to be on the same net as the server so i did use brctl (brctl addbr bridge0, brctl addif bridge0 eth0 eth1) and bridge seems to work fine to reach the internet... but i cant ping the server from client and vice versa.... any tips/suggestion are welcome :) | 06:01 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: although you should have preferences -> screensaver too | 06:01 |
| Silivrenion | dhruvasagar, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71284/Screenshot.png | 06:01 |
| WXZ | doesn't seem to be anything related to lock screen | 06:01 |
| WXZ | in power manager | 06:01 |
| WXZ | management* | 06:01 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: Put computer to sleep when inactive for ... | 06:02 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: under Actions | 06:02 |
| WXZ | ok, testing it now | 06:03 |
| rdw200169 | nebz: easy! just give the bridge0 interface an ip on the subnet | 06:03 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: what is it set to ? | 06:03 |
| WXZ | 1 minute | 06:03 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: checking | 06:03 |
| rdw200169 | nebz: if you want the server to surf the net, just assign the gateway/dns to bridge0 as well | 06:04 |
| _vaibhav_ | Am not able to run netbook edition on Vbox on Ubuntu 10.04 it says No required Driver Detected for Unity... What should I do to fix it?? | 06:04 |
| WXZ | that doesn't really lock it :s | 06:04 |
| WXZ | it just turns off the display | 06:04 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: hmm | 06:05 |
| john38 | Yep | 06:05 |
| WXZ | is it put computer to sleep, or put display | 06:05 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: and you don't have System -> Preferences -> Screensaver ? are you sure ? | 06:05 |
| WXZ | no dhruvasagar | 06:05 |
| WXZ | I think it's because I did it from a minimal install | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: run: lspci | grep -i vga | 06:06 |
| WXZ | "put computer to sleep" | 06:06 |
| WXZ | would that work? | 06:06 |
| john38 | Damn Intel 865G crappy chipset | 06:06 |
| WXZ | ok, I have to wait 10 minutes *sigh* | 06:06 |
| JoeMaverickSett | WXZ: try installing gnome-screensaver from synaptics? | 06:07 |
| Silivrenion | dhruvasagar, I found that xset dpms force off is a workaround that will turn off the monitors nicely | 06:07 |
| _vaibhav_ | ActionParsnip: Gives:- 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 06:07 |
| Silivrenion | it doesn't fix the reconfiguration problem, but it does mean i won't have to close the laptop screen | 06:07 |
| john38 | is there such thing as defective AGP slots | 06:07 |
| dhruvasagar | Silivrenion: hmm | 06:07 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: I think it should be display to sleep | 06:08 |
| nebz | rdw200169: im not sure how to do it... i mean my router gives my server eth0 and ip with dhcp, and when bridged my client get an ip from router to, should i manualy give the bridge0 and ip? or can it be from router dchp to? | 06:08 |
| WXZ | I installed screensaver dhruvasagar | 06:08 |
| john38 | theres only so much driver scrutinizing you do | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Silivrenion: dhruvasagar: add this in xorg.conf and it'll never sleep: http://pastebin.com/15maVDvq | 06:08 |
| WXZ | so let's wait a minute | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: oh one of those :( | 06:08 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: ok | 06:08 |
| dhruvasagar | ActionParsnip: cool | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: i've only seen them work with xorg.conf files personally | 06:09 |
| Silivrenion | ActionParsnip, i'm not trying to prevent sleeping.. i'm trying to prevent monitor reconfiguration when the lid is closed | 06:09 |
| dhruvasagar | ActionParsnip: although did you get to look at my problem about the menu ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/524266/ | 06:09 |
| rdw200169 | nebz: considering that your server is a relatively 'static' device, you're gonna want to give it a static IP address. let me suggest the second IP in the subnet, like 192.168.0.2, that way, you can remember it... in the future, i suppose you're gonna want to do more with your server than just run it like a expensive switch! | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dhruvasagar: are you the owner of all of your $HOME | 06:10 |
| WXZ | woo, success | 06:11 |
| rdw200169 | nebz: regardless, you can assign bridge0 to receive dhcp instead of eth0. reference /etc/network/interfaces and read the man file on the interfaces file | 06:11 |
| _vaibhav_ | ActionParsnip: so How I can make it work?? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rdw200169: having servers at the top end of the network is a good idea as DHCP pools start at the bottom and work up, fewer IP conflicts :) | 06:11 |
| dhruvasagar | ActionParsnip: I am the only user of this laptop...yes I am the owner of $HOME | 06:11 |
| dhruvasagar | WXZ: I am glad :) | 06:12 |
| nebz | rdw200169: ok thx, i think i will change my router settings and set static ip on the server as it seems better | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: search for sample xorg.conf files based on that chip description you gave, you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access# | 06:12 |
| rdw200169 | ActionParsnip: well, if it were me, i would just use the server as the router, and run dhcp from it... NAT on the server is much better for me, but i know what i'm doing to prevent firewall/security issues | 06:12 |
| _vaibhav_ | ActionParsnip: Ahh... Thanks.. :) | 06:12 |
| john38 | Has anybody else here had weak splash screen with 10.10 maverick weird shutdown | 06:13 |
| john38 | why does that happen | 06:13 |
| rdw200169 | nebz: once you can ping the server, i suggest you go to town and install some fancy web servers and monitoring software just to get comfortable with the things you can do with a server, like set up a ftp server, etc... :) | 06:13 |
| Silivrenion | now here's the question.. I want to run the monitor shutoff command on one computer, and have another ubuntu computer also run it from that press... is it possible to script up the ssh connection that would cause that to happen? | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | rdw200169: i'd rather have a hard device doing routing so if the server goes down or needs a reboot it doesn't take the LAN with it | 06:14 |
| dhruvasagar | ActionParsnip: ... | 06:15 |
| rdw200169 | ActionParsnip: and i would completely agree with you if i could afford routers fancier than the servers i can afford! | 06:15 |
| JackyChao | hello | 06:16 |
| kuatto | hey guys, running ubuntu here and I noticed somthing weird. running `lsof | grep TCP` I noticed "evince" the pdf viewr had a bunch of tcp connectinos open. is this normal? | 06:16 |
| _vaibhav_ | ActionParsnip: In my Vbox, am getting 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter. | 06:17 |
| nebz | rdw200169: hehe ya, well i know what to do.. im planing to set it up as a nas with torrent and more, but my linux skills are kinda rusty, not been using linux in awhile, i just wanted to bridge my main client machine becouse i wanted to use the giga card with the server for faster transfer, but soon i think i go buy a new router :) so i can skip the bridge and connect everything throu the router instead | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: thats because the video is virtualized | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: install the guest additions and you will be ok | 06:17 |
| _vaibhav_ | Okie... Thanks Let me try out by xorg.conf... | 06:18 |
| rdw200169 | nebz: well, once you've got an ip on bridge0 you should have no problems with those file transfers! | 06:19 |
| ActionParsnip | _vaibhav_: once you install the guest additions, you wont need xorg.conf in the virtual system | 06:19 |
| _vaibhav_ | ActionParsnip: yup! | 06:21 |
| New0 | have a few prob with ubuntu if u can help i will be glad | 06:22 |

| seidos | what's a good dock to use? i tried conky and couldn't get it working | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dhruvasagar: if you run: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER it will ensure you are the owner | 06:26 |

| seidos | trying to set up a panel-less wm environment, but i'll probably end up going back to standard gnome | 06:36 |
| New0 | *instead | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | I found most all of the 'docks' too limiting.. the latest AWN had some nice features however. | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | I still liked how WindowMaker handled it years ago. Simple 'warf' apps you ran and built your own dock basically. | 06:38 |
| mkquist | Dr_Willis: just curious on that... how are they limiting?... no flame, just curious | 06:38 |
| circlez | seidos: fluxbox is a great wm to go without a panel. With .fluxbox/keys you can set up keyboard shortcuts to all your favorite apps! | 06:38 |
| New0 | vm=virtual mechine ? | 06:39 |
| andycc | New0, yes. | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | circlez: totally, fluxbox rocks | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | mkquist: for most of them You have to work 'their' way and use their applets. seems Dock #1 always has some feature Id like in dock #2's, and then dock #4 has a really cool way of doing other things that 1 and 2 need to steal.. (err.. borow) | 06:40 |
| n2diy | anybody using gEDA for PCB fabricating? | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive ran without a panel for years. :) Us old timers rember the old days. | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | I just use guake to launch stuff, then ALT+TAB to switch between, much easier and fewer used resources | 06:41 |
| mkquist | Dr_Willis: ok, i think i see what ur getting at, but, I still have to say I'm happy with cairo tho... i see the 'their way' thing tho... | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: amen (although not such an old timer as some ;D) | 06:41 |
| cr0ss | Hey, this is a newby question. I've done crontab -e. How do I save and exit? | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | cr0ss: what editor are you using? | 06:43 |
| cr0ss | I don't recognize it | 06:43 |
| cr0ss | could be vi | 06:43 |
| cr0ss | What ever it is, it doesn't respond to CTRL+x or CTRL+O | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cr0ss: i'm not personally conversant with vi, maybe someone else can advise. if you run: export EDITOR=nano you can use nano, which is much friendlier | 06:44 |
| cr0ss | Oh... | 06:44 |
| cr0ss | nope | 06:45 |
| CaneToad | cr0ss: press ESC capital Z then capital Z | 06:45 |
| cr0ss | didn't work | 06:45 |
| cr0ss | nothing | 06:45 |
| sosaited | why don't you use gedit | 06:45 |
| cr0ss | freakin' weird stuff | 06:45 |
| cr0ss | Cause I'm not using a GUI | 06:45 |
| CaneToad | cr0ss: maybe press control D ??? | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | vi --> <esc> :wq also | 06:45 |
| cr0ss | That's delete | 06:45 |
| cr0ss | haha | 06:46 |
| cr0ss | neither | 06:46 |
| cr0ss | wtf is this thing!? | 06:46 |
| CaneToad | if it is emacs, then control X then control C | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea what editor you areusing then. :) | 06:46 |
| cr0ss | ooo | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | hit escape a few dozen times, then try :help | 06:46 |
| cr0ss | What's ^KD? | 06:46 |
| cr0ss | that's the command | 06:47 |
| cr0ss | that's the stupidest shit I've seen | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ^ = ctrl key. | 06:47 |
| maco | !language | cr0ss | 06:47 |
| ubottu | cr0ss: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:47 |
| CaneToad | ^KD is control K then d | 06:47 |
| cr0ss | Yea, but what editor would have that? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I found some consoel based editor ages ago that was basically like the old dos edit. with menus.. but i forget its name.. | 06:48 |
| cr0ss | shit is a swear? | 06:48 |
| cr0ss | my lil niece says it... | 06:48 |
| maco | cr0ss: yes | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | nano uses the ctrl-stuff all the time. | 06:48 |
| cr0ss | Welcome to the <CENCORED> inet... | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | nano has the ctrl-coded at the bottom of the screen.. its just that beginners often dont realize theat ^ = ctrl. | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | cr0ss: get over it. | 06:48 |
| cr0ss | What you talk bout willis? | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | In nano --> ^O WriteOut | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | in vi - <esc>:wq | 06:49 |
| Dr_Willis | in emacs... I forget.. :) | 06:49 |
| CaneToad | Dr_Willis: ^X ^C in emacs | 06:49 |
| CaneToad | so cr0ss, try control O control X | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mcedit - F2 | 06:50 |
| cr0ss | GAR! | 06:50 |
| cr0ss | Is there a way to edit this in nano? | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even recall what you are editing... | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cr0ss: nano to exit and save use CTRL+X, Y, ENTER | 06:50 |
| andycc | cr0ss, nano is not exactly known for its customizability. | 06:50 |
| sosaited | If you were creating a new one, it gives an option to chose the editor | 06:50 |
| quiescens | o.O | 06:51 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: crontab | 06:51 |
| quiescens | how can people make something so complicated | 06:51 |
| tracker | does anyone know what is the best book for learning python? | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | andycc: maybe but it doesnt have all that command mode, input mode confusion when you just want to add a few lines to a text file | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | tracker: theres dozens of them out there. For total beginners - most of them cover the same topics. | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | tracker: you proberly want a book that you wont outgrow in 5 days. :) | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | crontab -e | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | crontab -e --> asks what default editor to use here. | 06:52 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: He said he used that command.. Yeah I said that as well. that he can use nano by selecting it from the option | 06:52 |
| najirah | pablo | 06:52 |
| CaneToad | crontab -e doesn't ask here | 06:52 |
| CaneToad | cr0ss: what editor are you familiar with? | 06:53 |
| Dr_Willis | nano is the default for crontab -e, if you just hit enter after it asks. | 06:53 |
| cr0ss | Sorry, I figured it out:) | 06:53 |
| Dr_Willis | the 'select-editor' command changes your default editor. | 06:53 |
| andycc | EDITOR=vi crontab -e | 06:53 |
| sosaited | DOes anyone know of a list of laptops Ubuntu 10.10 supports without a problem? I am trying to get someone to migrate to Linux, but as I can't be there to set it up for her, I need to make sure she wont have big problems with it | 06:53 |
| cr0ss | env EDITOR=nano crontab -e | 06:53 |
| cr0ss | used that | 06:53 |
| cr0ss | worked pretty well | 06:53 |
| sosaited | cr0ss: Nice. | 06:53 |
| blakkheim | lol nano | 06:53 |
| cr0ss | Merci buckets | 06:54 |
| cr0ss | nano ftw baby | 06:54 |
| CaneToad | sosaited: I'm running 10.10 on Dell Vostro 1710 | 06:54 |
| cr0ss | nano > * for doing minor edits | 06:54 |
| CaneToad | 17" notebook | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | nano needs replaced... badly... | 06:54 |
| quiescens | cr0ss: for future reference, you can probably run "select-editor" to set your default | 06:54 |
| najirah | hy | 06:54 |
| SwedeMike | sosaited: I've never seen such a list. | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | cr0ss: nano is super easy :) | 06:54 |
| andycc | sosaited: http://linuxhcl.com/ | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: there are some sites that sell Linux preinstalled laptops.. theres so many laptops out.. the best you can proberly do is find linux laptop reviews and look for ones with the fewest probpeklsm | 06:54 |
| sosaited | CaneToad: I need to find about Dell Inspiron 1564. Apparently people had problems with 10.04, but I cant find much about 10.10 | 06:55 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: even then.. its always possible theres some bug/quirk/issues with the next OS releases | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | cr0ss: you can add the export ni ~/.bashrc and it will always be set | 06:55 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: small bugs I will be able to fix/work around via RDP. but people couldn't even boot on <10.04 on that laptop | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | cr0ss: ni == in | 06:55 |
| andycc | cr0ss: or ~/.zshrc if you use zsh, which I wholeheartedly recommend. | 06:56 |
| cutout | I have a machine, when it start the memory check gives 16 GB, but on ubuntu when I check with free -m command I get only about 4GB of RAM, how can this happen? | 06:56 |
| sosaited | andycc: Thanks . I'll look that | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: you are using 32bit kernel | 06:56 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: with the move to plymouth. for my Nvidia machines I have to use the 'nomodeset' option to get a working GUI to install from. and boot from, Untill i get the nvidia-drivers installed. | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: install the pae kernel to access the rest | 06:56 |
| cutout | ActionParsnip: how can I tell? | 06:56 |
| andycc | cutout: or the 64-bit version of Ubuntu if it's a 64-bit machine. | 06:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I suggest the 64bit version of ubuntu. | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: uname -r i686 == 32bit, x86_64 == 64bit | 06:57 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: I think Dell used to sell a lot of laptops with preinstalled Ubuntu, but apparently they discontinued that? | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | andycc: not always, most 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS | 06:57 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: theres other sites that still do. System76 i recall is one. | 06:57 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: i think dell still does.. but havent looked into them, | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: if you install linux-image-generic-pae then you wil be able to access all the ram using extra software addressing# | 06:58 |
| giulia | hello | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: 32bit PAE kernel can access 64Gb RAM | 06:59 |
| canadacow | hi | 06:59 |
| giulia | I am annoyed with a window problem | 06:59 |
| giulia | I don't have the focus any more | 06:59 |
| peturi | How can I configure Ubuntu 10.10 to show the network-manager gnome applet to all users? | 06:59 |
| giulia | any idea on how can I solve my problem ? | 06:59 |
| peturi | Usually it only shows up for the first user who logs on. | 06:59 |
| cutout | ActionParsnip: the macjine is 64-bit but It has ubuntu 32-bit, is it possible to install the package you sayed? will fix the problem? or do I have to reinstall ubuntu 64? | 06:59 |
| giulia | peturi, someone will tell you better than me | 06:59 |
| giulia | but you have to put it in the /usr/share directory | 07:00 |
| peturi | okay | 07:00 |
| SwedeMike | cutout: pae kernel will give you access to all memory. | 07:00 |
| Dr_Willis | cutout: the pae kernel on 32bit os -> lets you access all the ram. but if you ever reinstall. Youmay want to use the 64bit version of the OS. | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: if you install the pae linux image you can address all the ram | 07:00 |
| cutout | Thanks ALL, do I just "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae" | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cutout: after running: sudo apt-get update ,yes | 07:01 |
| cutout | ActionParsnip: OK thanks | 07:02 |
| reeniginEesreveR | what is hardened-c++ ? | 07:02 |
| giulia | well, should I quit Compiz Fusion ? | 07:02 |
| giulia | I am annoyed with not having the focus for my windows | 07:02 |
| === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu | ||
| giulia | I mean, when I don't have my windows in the task bar | 07:03 |
| giulia | I have to click on Esc to fix it | 07:03 |
| giulia | but it comes back | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | You may want to try running without compiz going. alt-f2 -> 'metacity --replace' and see if the system works better.. | 07:04 |
| sosaited | Is it better to install 64-bit or 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10 on Core i3 processor? | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: i always use 64bit OS on sysmtes that are 64bit. | 07:04 |
| giulia | great Doctor :) | 07:05 |
| andycc | sosaited: I'd say 64-bit, but I think you'll have problems with Flash. | 07:05 |
| giulia | you solved my problem :) | 07:05 |
| giulia | can I offer you a rose ? | 07:05 |
| cephalopod | random question: does anyone know about irssi config? | 07:05 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: I just read on forums that its better to install 32-bit if you dont have AMD processor. Though that might have been just one mans experience/opinion | 07:05 |
| sosaited | andycc: Its not me who has to install, someone else who isn't that experienced in computers. But I can RDP in to set up/fix some stuff. | 07:06 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: ive used 64bit on amd and intel.. - with no real issues for quite some time now. | 07:06 |
| sosaited | andycc: The flash problems are fixable? | 07:06 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: Hmm. Notebook or desktop? | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: Yes :) both.. | 07:07 |
| andycc | sosaited, http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/install-64-bit-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-904/ | 07:07 |
| andycc | maybe that helps | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: i have 1 machine now that 32bit. thats the netbook... | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | 3+ Desktops, 3+ Laptops all 64bit | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | The theres that little bitty netbook. | 07:07 |
| cephalopod | random question: does anyone know about irssi config? | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | cephalopod: irssi homepage has loads of docs. I havent used irssi much since ive switched to 'weechat' | 07:08 |
| sosaited | andycc: Thanks andy. I hope though that maverick wont have much problem | 07:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I much perfer weechat to irssi these days | 07:08 |
| cephalopod | that might just be the solution | 07:08 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: Hmm. Not even Hibernate/suspend or ACPI problems on Laptops? | 07:08 |
| cephalopod | thanks | 07:08 |
| rww | cephalopod: try #irssi | 07:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: i rarely use that feature. I rarely use that feature under windows either.. It can be problamatic depending on your hardware setup. I notice it did work on my new X505 laptop the other day.. but i rarely use it. | 07:09 |
| sosaited | hmm. ACPI is such a BS thing. I recently chanaged one bit in my BIOS, and both my karmic and lucid wouldn't let me browese, and XP wont even boot. Then I changed it back, and also enabled ACPI 2.0 and Lucid gave a /dev/null error at startup but it is working anyway | 07:11 |
| WillWill56 | I installed apache2 and it came with no modules, but the default apache2.conf file tries to use features from the mod_access module (which isn't installed or built into the binary). Is this meant to happen or am I doing something wrong? | 07:13 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: DId you ever need to use ia32-libs to use some 32-bit apps? | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: Proberly have. but they got installed automatically for flash i belive. | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: so ive never had to worry about it. | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: i can only think of a few programs there were 32bit only. and that was some old apps. | 07:22 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: They work fine ? | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | 'they' as in what? I cant recall any specific issues with anything ive had with 64bit - in perhaps the last 2+ years... | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | zsnes = 32bit only - the only app i can even recall thats been affected. :) | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | and theres other 64bit snes emulators out. | 07:26 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: You use something else instead of zsnes now? or compiled it with ia32-libs ? I have absolutely no experience with 64-bit so I need to be prepared when I'll need to set up one for someone else. Especially when you are trying to prove that Ubuntu is better than Windows .:) | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: I imagine you could install the 64bit version of Ubuntu.. and just go... i doubt if you will encounter any issues. | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless you just hae to have zsnes.. :) | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had more 64 vs 32bit issues in windows.. then i have in linux. | 07:29 |
| obsidieth | if you ignore flash, 64bit is glorious | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | I believe there's a 64bit build of zsnes on getdeb/playdeb | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont really have any flash issues in 64bit either. | 07:30 |
| circlez | for the record: steam also is 32bit only. Need the 32bit libs to compile it. | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | obsidieth: there's a 64bit flash ppa | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: that would mean they redid their assembly code. :) or some how did some tricks to it. | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: not sure, worth a looksee | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | compile steam? I just used wine to install steam. or am i missing somthing... | 07:31 |
| obsidieth | it was a pain last i tried, but that was some time ago. | 07:31 |
| circlez | dedicated server | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | There are 64bit versions of flash. but ive not tried them. because ive not needed to. | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | obsidieth: means you can ditch nspluginwrapper :) | 07:31 |
| obsidieth | the last i saw there was a beta that got pulled | 07:32 |
| obsidieth | what happened after that? | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | obsidieth: its back :) | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | I think its 10.1 too | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Not sure | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Like many people said.. 'its not dead... just taking a break' :) | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: I'm currently dead but have 4 days of break now :) | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | for now the biggest issue i have with anything in linux, is NetFlix not supporting it for their streams. :( | 07:33 |

| suigeneris | I have a weird problem. I have a 500 gb usb hdd, and it has like 450 gb of data in it. however, windows sees this as 9gb while ubuntu sees the correct size. any thoughts how I can fix this? | 08:36 |
| linuxrules | sorry greppy | 08:36 |
| greppy | linuxrules: which wiki? | 08:36 |
| linuxrules | just the main one | 08:36 |
| greppy | ... wiki.ubuntu.com? | 08:37 |
| linuxrules | is it wiki or me? | 08:37 |

| vadi01 | suigeneris, ubuntu is never wrong :))) windows brrrrrr | 08:37 |

| progre55 | hi guys. I've been getting "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." messages on jaunty. googling didnt help, cant seem to fix the problem. Any suggestions, please? btw, this started when I tried to install some packages from the karmic repos. | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | progre55: its a warning - so shouldent affect programs. | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !locale | 08:41 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 08:41 |
| greppy | progre55: give "sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8" a shot, see if that helps :) | 08:41 |
| progre55 | Dr_Willis: I know, but it's really annoying.. | 08:41 |
| progre55 | greppy: thanks, let me try that | 08:41 |
| EvaLuaTe | hello world | 08:42 |
| EvaLuaTe | is there a tool to see the current upload/download speed? | 08:43 |
| progre55 | greppy: well, it says they are up-to-date, and the problem still exists. | 08:43 |
| EvaLuaTe | I don't mean something like speedtest.net, to test the maximum upload/download speed, but rather something that will show the _current_ speeds at which I'm downloading/uploading... | 08:44 |
| shomon | hi, I would like to resolve a problem with updates I've had for ages: | 08:44 |
| joeArpaio | EvaLuaTe, system monitor | 08:44 |
| shomon | I have a wee orange triangle that says my stuff is outdated, caused by network problems | 08:44 |
| shomon | but when I click it, it says it's all up to date... | 08:44 |
| h4x0rbOy | Is Ubuntu better than Suse for a linux beginner ??? | 08:44 |
| shomon | so is it up to date or not, and how do I find out for sure? | 08:45 |
| EvaLuaTe | joeArpaio, wow, thanks, didn't know the system monitor would do that. Now, is there a way to see this for individual processes (as in, what process currently uses the most bandwith or something like that)? | 08:46 |
| suigeneris | can I drag several icons in panel at once? | 08:47 |
| joeArpaio | EvaLuaTe, not too familiar, but you can do a search for bandwidth in synaptic or run "apt-cache search bandwidth | more" in a terminal | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | suigeneris: as in add several launchers to the pannel at once? or what exactly? Try it and see if you can.. | 08:48 |
| EvaLuaTe | joeArpaio, ok, thanks again :) | 08:49 |
| sugoruyo | hi all, i have a network consisting entirely of ubuntu server machines and would like to be able to talk to them on the lan using hostnames instead of IPs could anybody point me to some docs or howtos on that? | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | shomon: try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then and watch what it suggests. 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 08:49 |
| MagusOTB | What's a good graphical (s)FTP client? | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: if they are all static ip's you could edit the hosts file on each one. thats teh simpilist way. | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | MagusOTB: the gnome file manager can do ftp. | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | MagusOTB: theres many other ftp clients out there. Or use the fuseftp stuff and mout a remote ftp server as a local directory. | 08:50 |
| MagusOTB | how do I do it with nautilus? | 08:51 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: that's exactly the approach i wanted to avoid | 08:51 |
| === dr_jimmy is now known as hw | ||
| MagusOTB | oh hey, found it | 08:51 |
| shomon | thanks Dr_Willis | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: then you need to look into setting up a dns/bind server.. id rather edit hosts file. | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: how big a network anyway? | 08:51 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: 4 machines | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Hosts file would be rather trival then. If you set them all to static ip's or set your dhcp server to always assign the same ip to each box. | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | thats how my homelan is setup. | 08:52 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: hosts file is probably easiest, but it's a testbed and configuration is still quite fluid | 08:52 |
| n2diy | should a joystick show up under lshw? | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | router always gives pc #1 - 192.168.1.101 and so on. | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: perhaps under lsubb | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: perhaps under lsusb | 08:53 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: they all have static IPs but i'd rather have one place to change name resolution rather than have to go through 4 hosts files | 08:53 |
| amarcolino | can anyone provide any good guides/links for password policy based on /etc/pam.d/common-password, password character length and password protection... those lines? | 08:53 |
| h4x0rbOy | "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomainlocalhost machineNAME" | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: you can sync the hosts file with scp and a script. | 08:53 |
| n2diy | Dr_Willis: I gameport joystick? | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: or other ways... | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: an actual OLD 'game port' type controller? They still exist? :) | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: you may need to load the proper modules for the gamepad in that case. | 08:54 |
| sugoruyo | yeah the problem is the hosts file also includes a lot of other stuff like loopbacks | 08:55 |
| h4x0rbOy | Hi. I have my medical cannabis card, I'm medicated :D | 08:55 |
| sugoruyo | which pertain only to the local machine | 08:55 |
| n2diy | Dr_Willis: yep, didn't show up with lsusb, roger on the modules. | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I just append the new machiens to the end of my hosts file. I rarely touch the stuff above it. | 08:55 |
| n2diy | anybody using gEDA for PCB fabricating? | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | network manager might alter your hosts also.. so that may be an issue | 08:56 |
| sugoruyo | if i can have a separate hosts file included somehow i could put into an NFS mount or something to simplify things but i'd rather not go into ediing startup scripts and the like | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: how often are these things going to be changeing? You could always make up a script that scans the network and gets the hostnames :) | 08:57 |
| Anarhist | hi, i have a question, i've just installed the new ubuntu and there's one very important feature which is missing. i use to press F2 and only the name (not extension) would be highlighted | 08:57 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: maybe on a weekly basis for now | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Anarhist: i recall someone else mentioning that rename bug also... | 08:57 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: how would i go about scanning the network and getting hostnames? | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Anarhist: not seen any fix/settings for it. | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: i basically can use 'findsmb' and get a hosts file (with a little editing) but all my machines have samba going. | 08:58 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: smb is a no-go here | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | and my hostnames are the same as my netbios names | 08:58 |
| Anarhist | Dr_Willis, thanks | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I think nmap can scan and get similer info also.. | 08:59 |
| llutz-n | sugoruyo: do you have a router/dns-server in your network? just add the hostnames to routers /etc/hosts or its dns-config then | 08:59 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: no use for it in my case, i'm setting up a linux only thing, not even GUIs | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | sugoruyo: sounds like you need to learn some more advanced topics then. :) | 08:59 |
| sugoruyo | llutz-n: no access to the router it's part of a larger network where i have no say on such things | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive never ran a dns server on my systems. | 08:59 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: problem is a dns would be total overkill for 4 machines | 09:00 |
| === CraHan[zZz] is now known as CraHan | ||
| llutz-n | sugoruyo: things like dnsmasq are easy to setup and make live much easier | 09:00 |
| llutz-n | life | 09:01 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis: if testing goes well i might deploy on hundred of VMs and dozens of physical hosts where a dns server would be reasonable | 09:01 |
| sugoruyo | llutz-n: what's dnsmasq's function? | 09:01 |
| h4x0rbOy | sugoruyo: Please consider DD-WRT on a embedded device on layer 3. | 09:01 |
| llutz-n | sugoruyo: dns-caching dns-proxy | 09:02 |
| Salvo | giorno a tutti | 09:02 |
| sugoruyo | h4x0rbOy: why would i do that? | 09:02 |
| sugoruyo | llutz-n: looking up dnsmasq on WP & Google seems like the right sort of thing | 09:03 |
| MagusOTB | because dnsmasq has a config file structure that takes 10 seconds to set up properly and will respond to DNS requests based on /etc/hosts on the server. It's pretty convenient. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: speaking of joysticks USB atari 2600 joystick --> http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/retro-gaming/2600/ | 09:03 |
| suigeneris | Dr_Willis no, my menu had been lost and I added it again, therefore all the icons were shifted to the right. now I need to move all of them to left | 09:04 |
| h4x0rbOy | sugoruyo: Cause DD-WRT supports DNSMasq. | 09:04 |
| MagusOTB | it can also serve DHCP as I remember. | 09:04 |
| loltph | Anyone know of any Ati drivers for 10.10 maverick? | 09:04 |
| sugoruyo | h4x0rbOy: ok, but i have 4 machines that are always on so why not setup dnsmasq on one of them rather than go get a device to run dd-wrt on? | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | loltph: it depends on your ati chipset. (i dont use ati) | 09:05 |
| loltph | x2100 | 09:05 |
| sugoruyo | MagusOTB: sounds exactly like what i'm looking for, i looked at bind but it seems too much for my current needs | 09:05 |
| blemish | maybe I'm asking this in the wrong channel | 09:06 |
| sporedi | when i tryed to login to my vnc server it only ask for host and passwd it did not ask for username how do i fix this issuse | 09:06 |
| blemish | but if I want to send a reply to a particular ubuntu bug | 09:06 |
| blemish | which address do I send to? | 09:06 |
| llutz-n | sugoruyo: bind would do too but its overkill for your setup | 09:06 |
| loltph | Dr_Willis: ATI RADEON XPRESS 1150 Chipset, for a hp nx6325 | 09:07 |
| lorenzo_ | join_#ubuntu-it | 09:07 |
| sugoruyo | llutz-n: yeah that's what i just realized, i'd seen dnsmasq mentioned before but i didn't know what it did | 09:07 |
| n2diy | Dr_Willis: ok, that page looks like it is going to time out? anyway, lsmod shows the game module is loaded, so I have to look a little deeper here. | 09:07 |
| lorenzo_ | join #ubuntu-it | 09:07 |
| sugoruyo | llutz-n: do you know were i can find a proper howto for dnsmasq on ubuntu? | 09:08 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: for my old gamepads. I had to load teh moduile for the port. THEN load the module for the actual controller. | 09:08 |
| Dr_Willis | n2diy: actually it may be just manually loading the modile for hte gamepad may load both.. | 09:08 |
| llutz-n | sugoruyo: no not really, but just have a look at the config-file, its well commented and should make configuring easy | 09:09 |

| cast | TheSarge: ok? | 09:40 |
| TheSarge | I see no way to switch color modes in the gui? | 09:40 |
| TheSarge | Not in the Monitors section | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | TheSarge: virtualbiox is special. You did install tejh guest addations? | 09:41 |
| TheSarge | Does anyone know where I can change to 32 bit color? | 09:41 |
| rigved | !find wifi | samosa | 09:41 |
| ubottu | samosa: Found: plasma-widget-wifi, wifi-radar | 09:41 |
| TheSarge | Dr_Willis: never had to before? | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | I was thiniking 32bit color is 24bit + some sort of alpha settings. | 09:41 |
| TheSarge | No its is millions more colors lol | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | TheSarge: I always install teh guest addations for vbox - it enables a lot of features. | 09:41 |

| TheSarge | So does anyone know how to switch color modes? | 09:42 |
| TheSarge | nondraj: I do not need what? | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | the 'color depth' on my system is 24bit. from what the nvidia drivers say. | 09:42 |
| rigved | samosa: have you tried wifi-radar? | 09:42 |
| TheSarge | No one knows a way to switch this lol? In the old days you would edit Xorg.conf or Xfree86.conf? | 09:43 |
| nondraj | TheSarge: yes | 09:43 |
| TheSarge | Yes what? | 09:43 |
| banksy | Just done 10.04 > 10.10 ubuntu upgrade, running startx brings up a black screen with a functioning mouse cursor but nothing else. Prior to upgrade it would load xfce desktop. Any idea which log to look in to debug? | 09:43 |
| nondraj | TheSarge: you still can modify xorg conf for few things | 09:44 |
| nondraj | banksy: hal | 09:44 |
| TheSarge | Ok but I am asking how to change the color depth with the GUI... | 09:44 |
| cast | banksy: what happens if you put your WM in ~/.xinitrc? :) | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | TheSarge: i think you are confused as to what 24bit vs 32bit colors mean. | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271008 | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | 24-bit Truecolor uses 8 bits to represent red, 8 bits to represent blue, and 8 bits to represent green. 28 = 256 levels of each of these three colors can therefore be combined to give a total of 16,777,216 mixed colors (256 x 256 x 256). Twenty-four-bit color is referred to as "millions of colors" on Macintosh systems. | 09:44 |
| suigeneris | why doesn't karmic have a php5-mcrypt? | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | n reality, 32-bit color actually refers to 24-bit color (Truecolor) with an additional 8 bits either as empty padding space or to represent an alpha channel. | 09:45 |
| samosa | Not working for me, idk why :/ how do I get wifi radar? | 09:45 |
| nondraj | samosa: compile it from source | 09:46 |
| banksy | cast: you lost me there! just googling .xinitrc | 09:46 |
| cast | banksy: well, mine has '/usr/bin/e16 | 09:46 |
| irvken | how can I identify my processor? | 09:46 |
| cast | ' | 09:46 |
| samosa | are you being serious? :p | 09:46 |
| cast | irvken: less /proc/cpuinfo | 09:46 |
| bindi | irvken: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 09:46 |
| TheSarge | Dr_Willis: lol no I am not... They are color depths.. it starts at 8bit then 16 then 24, then 32. each one adding more colors.. | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | irvken: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 09:46 |
| rigved | samosa: or you can install it from Software Center | 09:46 |
| TheSarge | In windows it is a simple drop down next to your resolution.. | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | TheSarge: good luck then.. every time ive ever seen someone ask about 32bit colors. they are confusing the terms. | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth#32-bit_color | 09:47 |
| irvken | what happened to system > preferences > hardware in 10.04 ? | 09:47 |
| TheSarge | lol yes go read it | 09:47 |
| TheSarge | you are the one confused lol | 09:47 |
| irvken | is there an equivalent | 09:47 |
| TheSarge | Have you ever changed your color depth in windows? | 09:48 |
| samosa | Is only way to download is from software center, no mirrors? | 09:48 |
| TheSarge | Or even in linux by editing Xorg.conf in the video modes section? | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | TheSarge: yes. and the windows box here can do 24bit - the term 32 they have used referrs to 24bit + the alpha channels. | 09:48 |
| * TheSarge sighs | 09:48 | |
| amarcolino | Dr_Willis, will try that, I saw /bin/null but that was for gutsy I think it got replaced by false but will test it | 09:49 |
| nondraj | Dr_Willis: he wants +8 bit alpha channels implied ! | 09:49 |
| TheSarge | Nevermind lol I figured out how to do it lol | 09:49 |
| amagee | hey if i buy a laptop with a vga out and an hdmi out, and i want to use the laptop screen and two external screens, all simultaneously, is there anything i need to watch out for? | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | amarcolino: i think there may be a more proper way to do it.. | 09:49 |
| dancek | TheSarge, so is your current color depth 24bit? | 09:49 |
| TheSarge | nondraj: At least someone understands lol | 09:49 |
| irvken | how can I find how much ram I have? | 09:49 |
| TheSarge | dancek: Yes. | 09:49 |
| amarcolino | Dr_Willis, any suggestions are always welcome | 09:50 |
| nondraj | irvken: free -m and do math ! | 09:50 |
| banksy | cast: can't find ~/.xinitrc, only have .xscreensaver (-getimage.cache) and .xsession-errors (+.old) | 09:50 |
| cast | banksy: one makes it. | 09:50 |
| === alex_ is now known as Gormatjoff | ||
| amarcolino | Dr_Willis, what I am doing is removing sheel access from /etc/passwd I don't see the need for those accounts to have them on this specific server | 09:50 |
| nondraj | irvken: meminfo is the way to go | 09:50 |
| rigved | samosa: you can visit their website and download it from there: http://wifi-radar.berlios.de/ | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | nondraj: ive have the +8 alpha here. and its called 24bit as far as i can tell under all the tools. | 09:51 |
| siji | Hi All | 09:52 |
| TheSarge | Wow virtual box is retarded.. it likes to jump to my focused workspace everytime the screen changes wtf. | 09:52 |
| nondraj | Dr_Willis: i agree | 09:52 |
| dancek | TheSarge, I'm quite sure there's no difference between using 24bit vs. 32bit colors in Xorg. Most drivers use 32bit [eg. 8bit padding] with the display adapter regardless of Xorg color depth, and I don't know of a way to utilize the extra 8bits as an alpha channel. | 09:52 |
| nondraj | TheSarge: thats feature | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | nondraj: I was thinking the +8 alpha is actually handled by the software some how. but I guess it dosent matter much. | 09:52 |
| TheSarge | To get 32 bit mode you just have to create an Xorg.conf | 09:52 |
| siji | How to enable Multitouch feature of ubuntu 10.10 with Accer Multitouch monitor | 09:52 |
| dancek | TheSarge, if you can provide a source proving me wrong, I'd be glad to hear it. | 09:53 |
| nondraj | Dr_Willis: i agree that was irony from my side :) | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | nondraj: as long as its calling it 32bit i guess hes happy... | 09:53 |
| dr0id | I installed the lamp-server , but now when I type php in the command line it says -bash: php: command not found , why so ? | 09:53 |
| rigved | does qemu have support for creating a shared folder between the host OS and the virtual OS? something like virtualbox has... | 09:53 |
| banksy | cast: that .xession-errors file has a fair bit in it, such as x-window-manager: fatal IO error 11 (resource temporarily unavailabe) on x server :0.0 | 09:53 |
| jiohdi | I overloaded PAN newsreader... now its locked up... how do I remove its data so it will start fresh, or how do I uninstall all of it so it does not leave any data behind for the reinstall? | 09:53 |
| nondraj | dr0id: thats not proper name | 09:53 |
| TheSarge | dancek: All I know is my virtualbox was all messed up as far as the colors untill I added the new mode in my Xorg.conf to run 32bit | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: not that ive noticed. You could set up samba in the virtual enviroment. | 09:53 |
| n2diy | I just built a test box, and I'm trying to move /home to it with gftp, but gftp isn't coping recursively, and isn't creating missing directories, ideas? | 09:53 |
| dr0id | nondraj: ? | 09:54 |
| banksy | cast: is the creation of .xinitrc at all 10.04>10.10 related or just part of debugging? | 09:54 |
| rigved | Dr_Willis: thanx | 09:54 |
| irvken | the right (and easiest) answer was "install sysinfo" | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: if you have a .xinitrc there used tobe a gdm menu item that would run that as a custome entry instead of a normal desktop | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | jiohdi: look in your users home dirs for the pan info. and remove/rename it perhaps. | 09:55 |
| nondraj | irvken: not right :P | 09:55 |
| dr0id | I installed the lamp-server , but now when I type php in the command line it says -bash: php: command not found , why so ? | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jiohdi: removing a package by the package manager. does NOT NOT NOT touch the users settings/data in their home dir. | 09:55 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis: I don't have a .xinitrc | 09:55 |
| dancek | TheSarge, that's very strange but i see your point. I can't really help, I've always had success with virtualized Ubuntu/Debian out of the box... | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: so make one? :) | 09:55 |
| nondraj | n2diy: scp | 09:55 |
| jiohdi | Dr_Willis: right, which is a problem | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: example .xinitrc - 2 lines.. --> xterm & exec windowmanageryoulike | 09:55 |
| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis, llutz-n: thanks for the info on dnsmasq, just got a chance to set it up and it works like a charm | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jiohdi: start exploreing Ive not used pan in years. | 09:55 |
| llutz-n | sugoruyo: life can be so easy :) | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | jiohdi: perhaps .pan :) | 09:56 |
| TheSarge | dancek: I am running linux, windows in the virtual box. | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | guest addations in virtual box may of fixed it also.. | 09:56 |
| sugoruyo | llutz-n: :D if you know what you're looking for or where to ask what does what you want done ;) | 09:56 |
| dr0id | I installed the lamp-server , but now when I type php in the command line it says -bash: php: command not found , why so ? | 09:56 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis - I use xfce (default on mythbuntu), so is line 2 going to be /usr/bin/xfwm4 ? | 09:57 |
| jiohdi | Dr_Willis: it was one file in .pan2 called tasks.nzb | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: no idea what xfce uses. but that looks about right | 09:57 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis: that first line includes the ampersand doesn't it? | 09:58 |

| suigeneris | llutz I see that karmic has no php5-mcrypt | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: i got the xterm & in there as a 'failsafe' in case the window manager fails. :) | 09:59 |
| rigved | if i chroot into an unpacked filesystem (like squashfs) and then if i add/remove programs in it using the package manager, will this also affect my host system? | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: otherwise the X server can startup. then exist. if the wm dosent start. | 10:00 |
| nondraj | dr0id: you can run it as scripts defining absolute path | 10:00 |
| dr0id | but it should'nt say command not found | 10:00 |

| Dr_Willis | red2kic: empty your trash :) | 10:07 |

| phasma | banksy: apt-cache showpkg xubuntu-desktop :p | 10:12 |
| phasma | it installs a LOT | 10:12 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis: Whatever mythtbuntu comes with (9.04>10.04>10.10), which is probably xfce and gnome | 10:13 |
| pal3rid3r | Well I'll try you guys later on today... | 10:13 |
| StaRetji1 | Ubuntu was booting and in between I had power loss. Now, Grub offers me prompt, but actually never times out? Wtf? I mean, shouldn't it autoboot after 30 seconds or something? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: i imagine mythbuntu comes with a LIMITED set of tools from xubuntu | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: not the full xubuntu-desktop | 10:14 |
| StaRetji1 | I don't have keyboard as it is HTPC, but I will get it. The thing is, I want to avoid this next time, I would just like to autoboot after some timeout.\ | 10:14 |
| banksy | phasma: yes that was a few screens worth! I said no the xubuntu option. Will try and find more targeted packages to reinstall - Any ideas? | 10:15 |
| StaRetji1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/524353/ | 10:15 |
| karthick87 | Which is the best video editing software for ubuntu..? | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | StaRetji1: never seen that happen. unless grub got messed up. perhaps reinstall grub. check its /etc/default/grub file also. | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | karthick87: depends on your needs. | 10:17 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis / phasma: is there an apt-get command to get apt to audit what I have, versus what 10.10 mythbuntu should have? During my past view days with no window manager, I have removed gdm*, and nvidia*, and who knows what else | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop should pull in what mythbuntu uses. | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: the use of the XXXX-desktop packages. is a bit of a kludge in many ways. It makes it easy to isntall lots of things.. but harder to keep track of the things needed for whatver desktop. | 10:18 |
| karthick87 | Dr_Willis, I want to remove all the voice tracks from the video and insert new one..What software would you recommend | 10:19 |
| n2diy | ok, I have /home synced between this box and my test box, but not all my apps made the trip, should I load them manually with synaptic, or can I rsync some other directories to do the same thing? | 10:19 |
| phasma | banksy: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mythbuntu-desktop should pull any missing deps back in | 10:19 |
| phasma | assume that is what you meant? | 10:20 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis: nice one, some of the 22Mb of packages listed include xfce4-session, xfce-utils, xorg - they sound important! | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis | karthick87: i rarely do that type of editng. theres a few video editor tools out for that. Check the package manager tools. Ive not used any of them | 10:21 |
| karthick87 | Oke | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis | karthick87: if you jsut want to replace the soundtrack with a differnt one. and no other changes. then ffmpeg/mencoder/winff can proberly do it also | 10:22 |
| banksy | Dr_Willis / phasma : what should I do with my custom .xinitrc after the packages are installed? | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | banksy: to do what exactly? | 10:22 |
| phasma | banksy: Just back it up and copyover once the install completes | 10:22 |

| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: you could login the 2nd user i guess via vnc, or somthing.. and start the ubuntuone service for them. (never tried) | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | figure out how to sync ubuntuone via command line and you could proberly set up several accounts. | 10:29 |

| abhi_ | blackshirt: how to install it? | 10:48 |

| blackshirt | apt-get udpate | 10:48 |
| abhi_ | is this an independent desktop like KDE? | 10:48 |

| salbito | no network | 10:51 |

| simon_ | yes | 10:52 |
| stupididea | any idea how to rebuild filelist for a package? | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | simon_: grub2 configs are supposed to auto detect that and add proper entries to the grub menus. | 10:52 |
| salbito | essentiall this is my situation….screen is broken only enough to see max 5 lines at bottom of terminal. so i need to install build-essential to build my network drivers where there i can do everything from ssh | 10:52 |
| blackshirt | stupididea: i don't know exactly what your problem, but i try figure it out.. can you update your database with apt-get update ?? | 10:52 |
| sosaited | Dr_Willis: Do you know where can I enable PCM recording in Ubuntu Lucid? | 10:53 |
| drdnght | IRC sure is getting wired | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | sosaited: not really. ive rarely messed with recording. Proberly some pulse config tools | 10:53 |
| sosaited | I wanted to record what is being played on my system... | 10:53 |

| simon_ | does that mean that is possible? because i had some problems with booting with grub with the LTS Version on my acer notebook. my friend solved it but the system works not very fine. so i want to test Maverick meerkat. | 10:55 |
| blackshirt | ok, salbito.. on debian-like system, deb packages resides on under /pool directory..on your disc too | 10:55 |
| stupididea | blackshirt, aptitude update is done 30sec ago ;) | 10:55 |
| salbito | blackshirt: thank you | 10:56 |
| blackshirt | stupididea: look at /var/cache/apt/archives directory, and remove packages causes trouble..aka libc6-i686 | 10:56 |

| karthick1987 | How to remap a key..? | 10:57 |
| drdnght | seconding karthick1987 request | 10:57 |
| drdnght | howto find inuptkey and then remap it | 10:58 |
| drdnght | kinda like autohotkey for linux | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | drdnght: what key are you refering to ? | 10:58 |
| drdnght | some touchpads have 3 buttons, left, middle, right | 10:58 |
| drdnght | issue here is, the middle acts like it's the left one aswell | 10:59 |
| karthick1987 | you can find inputkey using xev xommand but how to remap the key..? | 10:59 |
| M1 | By the way, what are the other Ubuntu IRC channels (if any)? | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | drdnght: mouse keys would be differnt then from keyboard keys. | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | you are awanting to reorder the mouse buttons? switch 2 and 3 or somthing? | 11:00 |
| drdnght | yea, due some reason xev displays my left mouse button exactly the same ass the middle mouse button | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | That sounds like an odd bug in the drivers for the touchpad. or X is useign the wrng /dev/input device | 11:00 |
| drdnght | thought so aswell | 11:00 |
| drdnght | the kicker is, when I plug an usb mouse in, the middle mouse button (on my touchpad) works just fine | 11:01 |
| stupididea | blackshirt, i cannot remove the package ... it also causes the error | 11:01 |
| drdnght | so perhaps a reconfigure of the input devices would work? | 11:01 |
| blackshirt | stupididea: you must root access to remove that..it reside on system file | 11:01 |
| stupididea | blackshirt, whoami: root | 11:02 |

| Dwade09 | can someone help me on the sound? everytime i want to turn it up or down i have to left click the sound icon at top near the clock, then hit sound preferences then i have to move the output volume bar up or down, i cant just left click the sound icon at the top near the clock and drag the volume bar up or down it wont work how can i fix that? | 11:03 |
| Sabri_ | I'm using XChat-Gnome. | 11:03 |
| blackshirt | why you cannot remove packages ??? | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | karthick1987: Hmm.. that might get harder.. does it also not work on the Console? ie: its definatly a hardware issue? and not a config issue? | 11:05 |

| Dr_Willis | Dwade09: theres the old gnome-mixer-applet (i think) tool that can give you an alterantive icon up there that may work better. | 11:07 |

| Dr_Willis | DarkStar1: the next ubuntu release dosent seem it will use it by default :) so no idea. | 11:53 |
| tr3nton | Dr_Willis: I didn't think there were any intentions to use it by default? | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: Its still early.. they could change their minds 100 times in the next 5 mo... | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | I will mention that KDE in 10,10 - has gotten VERy good. | 11:55 |
| tr3nton | Dr_Willis: ah yes. fair point! Just thought they seemed very committed to unity, they I couldn't see that they would change their minds back | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: like they did with the 'move buttons to the left for no real reason at this time' :) | 11:57 |
| tr3nton | :D | 11:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: the next release will be.... interesting. | 11:57 |
| tr3nton | yeah | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | but for now we have to watch the ubuntu guys and the gnome guys make snide comments at each other. :) | 11:58 |

| DarkStar1 | sebsebseb: Where'd you find that info? | 12:00 |
| daincredibleholg | rigved, yes - but the name indicates that it is the "traditional" bsd source, isn't it? | 12:01 |
| sebsebseb | DarkStar1: and Ubuntu will be the only distro that will be using Unity instead of Gnome Shell next year it seems | 12:01 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Dr_Willis, gnome is dead - long live gnome. But seriously, the interface would probably work very well for touch screens (i like it on my netbook, not so wild about it on my desktop) | 12:01 |
| bumblebee | .blender | 12:01 |
| TimothyA | I have a question; where does the weather gadget in ubuntu get its information from? | 12:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9_: touch screens.. another thing i see pop up, then fade away... | 12:01 |
| bumblebee | !blender | 12:01 |
| ubottu | blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro | 12:01 |
| sebsebseb | DarkStar1: Gnome Shell will be in the repo like it is now though, but may as well use other distros, if not going to use Unity, thats what I think :) | 12:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9_: wife dident like the touch screens when whe was in teh store last week.. | 12:01 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Dr_Willis, honestly, i've never tried any computer-touch screen devices - not an area of interest for me really | 12:02 |
| tr3nton | so its going to be effectively the same as the netbook edition? | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9_: if they made Farmville easier to play - they would take over the market in a week.. :) | 12:02 |
| sebsebseb | DarkStar1: you can get that kind of info from the Gnome site I guess, but I know since I get told stuff on IRC and read stuff on the web :) | 12:02 |
| DarkStar1 | I love to eat oily food and touch screen... So sexy :) | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: its suposed tobe changed for desktops... | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: so similer.. but differnt. | 12:03 |
| sebsebseb | tr3nton: it will change for the desktop version, even use Compiz instead of Mutter | 12:03 |
| tr3nton | oh.. so netbook doesn't use compiz? | 12:03 |
| alloosh | hello, since I upgraded to 10.10 the spell check in firefox and thunderbird is not working, am I missing something? | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: in 10.10 its using mutter. | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !info mutter | 12:03 |
| ubottu | mutter (source: mutter): lightweight GTK+ window manager. In component main, is extra. Version 2.31.5-0ubuntu9 (maverick), package size 297 kB, installed size 816 kB | 12:03 |
| DarkStar1 | Gotta bounce peeps. catch ya later | 12:04 |
| tr3nton | will there be a desktop? from memory, the netbook doesn't really have one... i.e. minimze all apps to see the desktop | 12:04 |
| Dr_Willis | tr3nton: not in the normal sence.. No. | 12:04 |
| Dr_Willis | theres been an anti-desktop (place junk accumulates) movement for some time now. :) | 12:05 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: uhmm? | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | 'junk dwarer' vs desktop. :) | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | its scary when i see people with 200+ icons on their desktops. | 12:05 |
| tr3nton | sounds ghey | 12:05 |
| tr3nton | lol | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Desktop is not that good an idea in many ways. it just gets to be a Junk yard. | 12:05 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: yeah loads of icons on the desktop is so Windows | 12:06 |
| tr3nton | but you get to see the pertty wallpaper! | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | but its not a wall.. its a desktop... | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | take a picture of the wall behind your pc/monitor. and set that as your wallpaper.. make it look like you got 'x-ray' monitor | 12:07 |
| tr3nton | yeah on my actual desktop I also have 200+ post-it notes to mimick the computers desktop | 12:07 |

| ubottu | MangledBody: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 12:41 |
| StaRetji1 | theadmin: hm, but is it before you actually boot ubuntu? | 12:41 |
| theadmin | StaRetji1: It's a grub option, so. | 12:42 |
| salbito | how can i install build-essential with all of its dependencies right off the server install disc? | 12:42 |
| StaRetji1 | theadmin: I mean, I guess when I boot proper driver is selected (ie intel) | 12:42 |
| MangledBody | jrib: OK... | 12:42 |
| kresp0 | MrsB, i'll try and then i'll back here | 12:42 |
| kresp0 | thank you | 12:42 |
| MrsB | good luck | 12:42 |
| theadmin | StaRetji1: I guess it's sorta like Gentoo's "nox" option which disables GUIs, and is a grub parameter as well %) | 12:42 |
| jrib | salbito: do you know how to use apt? | 12:42 |
| kresp0 | MrsB: ap: not found | 12:43 |
| salbito | yes i know how to use apt | 12:43 |
| kresp0 | ahh, ok | 12:43 |
| kresp0 | iwconfig ap | 12:43 |
| salbito | are you saying just go to command line after install and run it from there? | 12:43 |
| jrib | salbito: if you want to install build-essential, install build-essential, yes | 12:43 |
| h4writer | theadmin, hmmm it did all sorts of things. Gonna restart now to check if it worked | 12:44 |
| MrsB | kresp0: man iwconfig shows you some examples | 12:44 |
| StaRetji1 | theadmin: I'm confused, should I remove it, leave it. If it doesn't affect my intel950gma driver it's ok, but if force ubuntu to use vesafb, that sux :/ | 12:44 |
| theadmin | StaRetji1: Remove it then | 12:44 |
| flh | 请教：ubuntu 10.4最小安装，再xorg,fluxbox,如何直接登录？只修改/etc/init/tty1.conf 及/usr/bin/autologin 失败了？ | 12:44 |

| jrib | salbito: oh you said "without network" later (try to keep things on one line and address me if you're replying to me). Is the build-essential package on the cd? I don't know if this is the case. In that case, just add the cd as a repository and then use apt | 12:45 |

| mapd | hey is there a way for grub to generate a new .cfg | 13:00 |
| mapd | ? | 13:01 |
| theadmin | coder2: Did the message look like "? Kernel panic: NOT SYNCING! \n System halted." | 13:01 |

| mapd | theadmin but "msdos" | 13:07 |
| mapd | ? | 13:07 |
| Propel | it seems as though it only works under windows and mac | 13:07 |
| Propel | not sure if wine can handle th einstallation process | 13:07 |
| theadmin | Propel: Oh. This ain't gonna work with these drivers... Wine wouldn't cut it | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Propel: thate proberly because the linux drivers and tools for it are in the package manager... | 13:07 |
| theadmin | mapd: Well, you have a MBR partition table, right? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Propel: theres no need to use the cd. | 13:07 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Propel: i've a hp all-in-one f2410 deskjet but it works without that need to install from cd. | 13:07 |

| Propel | nope | 13:08 |
| Tagren | heh | 13:08 |
| airtonix | Propel, then save the doom and gloom till it fails | 13:08 |

| Propel | ight. good to know joemavericksett | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | HP stuff is normally decently well supported. | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Canon - HOWEVER.. is often a pain. | 13:09 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: it's Just the Ubuntu Server CD | 13:09 |
| airtonix | Propel, i often find my life is much happier if i spend less time worrying about trivial matters | 13:09 |
| theadmin | mapd: Hm. Well, try replacing that with "hd(0,5)" if you want. | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: you could use the dd command.. 'dd if=/dev/sr0 of=ServerCD.iso' | 13:09 |
| Propel | airtonix, i should heed that advice :( | 13:09 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: I'm just asking whether this is a bug? | 13:09 |
| brontosaurusrex | is there a parental control mechanizem in existance, the one that requires just some clicks? | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: no idea. Ive never tried it that way. :) | 13:09 |
| airtonix | Propel, indeed, it takes more energy to frown. | 13:09 |
| theadmin | brontosaurusrex: What do you want it to do? %) | 13:09 |
| brontosaurusrex | due to kids | 13:10 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: Could you please try it now? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | brontosaurusrex: to controll what exactly? | 13:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis, porn | 13:10 |
| airtonix | Propel, that aside, does the printer have a lan port ? or is it just usb ? | 13:10 |
| Propel | willis, works just as it was on windows? | 13:10 |
| Propel | usb and power | 13:10 |
| theadmin | brontosaurusrex: pfftcht. Use hphosts. | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Propel: I find printing works better on Ubuntu then in windows. | 13:10 |
| Propel | ha! nice :) | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Propel: 128mb driver install on windows for a printer.. vs.. about a 1mb diwnload on linux.... | 13:11 |

| brontosaurusrex | theadmin, the list of ips? isnt there something a bit more inteligent? or is that really the way to do it? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | miha: normally by use of the diff command on your code. | 13:12 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: did you check? please | 13:12 |
| miha | sure, i have two .java files, how to make patch? | 13:12 |
| miha | :) | 13:12 |
| theadmin | brontosaurusrex: Not exactly. It just points all those domains to 127.0.0.1... Actually, I'd make that 0.0.0.0, but that's just me :D | 13:13 |

| * mapd hates grub2 | 13:13 | |
| mapd | any way to delete old kernel and such? | 13:14 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: I mean, at the time you just select the copy disc option, minimize that and open any other nautilus window and check whether you can select files/ folders there, that's all | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: it let me make a copy to /home/willis/brasseri.iso just fine | 13:14 |

| coder2 | help | 13:17 |
| theadmin | brontosaurusrex: Gosh :/ If these people want this porn, let em view it %) All in all I'm not sure there is a system for this. | 13:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | theadmin, seems to be google based | 13:17 |
| zubin71 | B-r00t: tried that, lemme check again.. thanks! | 13:17 |
| Daniel___ | So no one have any suggestion on what todo? :/ | 13:17 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: After you select Copy disc By right clicking, don't select The copy button , but just minimize that, then test | 13:17 |

| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: looks like nautilus is using some sort of lock/modal dialog. correct. File manager is 'waiting' untill you dismiss/continue the copy dialog one way or another. | 13:18 |
| coconutz | any ideas? | 13:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | llutz, of course... | 13:18 |

| minh | I tried to give the host and guest machines static ip-addresses for eth0... | 13:20 |
| minh | So i'm able to log in via ssh...but after the first command the connection freezes | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy | 13:22 |
| dli | minh, what's the guest os? | 13:22 |
| minh | After the freeze I have to kill the entire terminal session...once setting up the host's static ip AGAIN, it'll work for another single command...and will freeze again | 13:22 |
| pksadiq | !guestos | 13:23 |
| minh | dli: both ubuntu | 13:23 |
| dli | minh, what's the host NIC interface to be paired with guest? | 13:24 |
| minh | dli: what's NIC? | 13:24 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: checked for the bug at Launchpad? | 13:24 |
| dli | minh, network interface | 13:25 |
| minh | dli: I do set static IPs for eth0 on both sides | 13:25 |
| Samuel | hello | 13:25 |
| commodoor | Hi is it possible to encrypt usb stick in Ubuntu, and when it mounts it auto decrypts it. The stick is Ext3 ??? | 13:25 |
| airtonix | minh, no they mean : are you in bridge or NAT mode ? | 13:25 |
| minh | dli: e.g. ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.1/16 on host...and ifconfig 10.1.1.2/16 on guest | 13:25 |
| dli | minh, I suppose the host side eth0 is a hardware device | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Propel: I dont have a fancy HP printer. but i thought the hplip tools managed all that stuff. | 13:25 |
| theadmin | commodoor: See www.truecrypt.com - a great encryption software. But, you'll have to format it. | 13:26 |
| Propel | hplip, from ubuntu? | 13:26 |
| Samuel | i have downloaded nvidia kernel + glx but when i edit xorg.conf it fails to restart X | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: that could be the way that copy image script is working. not sure if its a normal naugilus feature or a scruiot | 13:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Propel: hplip from synaptics package manager. | 13:26 |
| minh | airtonix, dli: oh, I set virutalbox to use bridged interface...and once again: I DOES WORK for a single command...I AM logged into the virutalmachine via ssh SUCCESSFULLY...but it'll freeze after the first command | 13:26 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: feature? :D | 13:26 |
| airtonix | minh, so you are having the virtualbox using a NAT mode network ? | 13:26 |
| airtonix | minh, or not... | 13:26 |
| Samuel | to i only add "Driver nvidia" in xorg.conf? | 13:26 |
| Samuel | do* | 13:26 |
| minh | arcsky, dli: in fact, I AM ABLE to do a ls and see the output | 13:26 |
| ks3 | minh, I take it you've disabled / uninstalled NetworkManager? | 13:27 |
| b0ot | I'm trying to get my ubuntu desktop online. I have a wireless connection on a windows xp laptop, is there a way to share it over its lan port to get wirelss | 13:27 |
| minh | airtonix: no, bridged interface (eth0) | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | pksadiq: could be the script has to lock things down. | 13:27 |
| commodoor | theadmin, formating isn't the issue but does it auto decrypts on mount? | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | Samuel, how are you editing xorg.conf ..nvidia requires the command nvidia-xconfig | 13:27 |
| minh | ks3: no, network manager is enabled | 13:27 |
| theadmin | commodoor: How do you imangine it auto-decrypting without entering the password you encrypted with xD | 13:27 |
| pksadiq | Dr_Willis: I think, that's a bug, Billgate :D | 13:27 |
| Samuel | Blue, i never used that last time | 13:27 |
| ks3 | minh, Is it possible that after you set your IP manually, Network Manager is trying to assign via DHCP? | 13:27 |
| Propel | ohh ok. got it, joemavericksett | 13:27 |
| minh | ks3: perhaps...I think the problem is on the host-os since it'll work for ANOTHER command when resetting the host's static ip | 13:28 |
| theadmin | commodoor: But, I think I can provide a udev rule for this %) altough... I doubt udev can interact with x... hm, how would we request the password *thinks* | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | Samuel, well if your going use xorg.conf then it's probly required | 13:28 |
| Samuel | BluesKaj, should i download nvidia-xconf aswell? | 13:28 |
| jbwiv__ | how does one tell what /dev/sd* device a usb drive has been mapped to? | 13:28 |
| commodoor | theadmin, haha that the key is stored in ubuntu, like cryptfs when you login it decrypts | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | no Samuel , just run sudo nvidia-xconfig in the terminal | 13:29 |
| airtonix | jbwiv__, without using something palimpset ? | 13:29 |
| commodoor | theadmin, a password prompt wouldn't be a problem | 13:29 |
| airtonix | like* | 13:29 |
| iceroot | jbwiv__: dmesg is telling that, also fdisk -l would show it | 13:29 |
| jbwiv__ | airtonix, I'm not familiar with palimpset | 13:29 |
| Samuel | it gets an error | 13:29 |
| airtonix | jbwiv__, it's called Disk Utility in the gnome menus | 13:30 |
| jbwiv__ | iceroot: I'll look at dmesg. the problem with fdisk -l is that I have a lot of drives and it's a lot to sort through | 13:30 |
| jbwiv__ | airtonix, ah, gotcha. yeah, I was looking for a command-line way | 13:30 |
| airtonix | jbwiv__, cat /etc/mtab | 13:30 |
| cmyrland | Okay, I'm in dire need of help. I want to play Fallout New Vegas, but I simply cannot get the game to run. I've made a step-by-step list with what I've done, so if somebody could take a look at it and perhaps giveme some advice I'd appreciate it very much. Complete list of proceedings: http://pastebin.com/DiqH64Qx And yes, I've asked over at winehq too :) | 13:30 |

| sipior | cmyrland: as far as advice: run it in windows. seriously, life's too short. | 13:31 |
| jbwiv__ | airtonix, well, it's not mounted. I have auto_mount disabled. I'm doing a forensic recovery on the disk (or trying, at least) | 13:31 |
| theadmin | cmyrland: Go to #winehq | 13:31 |
| cmyrland | sipior, okay, if you'll buy Windows for me I will. | 13:32 |
| minh | ks3: so I did /etc/init.d/network-manager stop on the host...I still freezes after each single command...but when resetting the static IP on the host (while the ssh-session is running) it will accept another command...and then freeze again until resetting the static IP on the host once again | 13:32 |
| airtonix | jbwiv__, well it will only be "mapped" if its mounted | 13:32 |
| airtonix | cmyrland, don't hold your breath. | 13:32 |
| sipior | cmyrland: have fun wasting your time. | 13:32 |
| rusivi | cmyrland: Check out winehq app database, which notes it works good in newest WINE dev -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21692 | 13:33 |
| cmyrland | theadmin, I'm already there. | 13:33 |
| mapd | what does insmod ntfs do? | 13:33 |
| dli | minh, I'm quite confused, because the default virtualbox setting doesn't require you to set host side eth0, can you disable it, and clean up all 10.* network in "route" | 13:33 |
| rusivi | sipior: One should use Windows if they like viruses on their computer ;) | 13:34 |
| airtonix | rusivi, its all lies. | 13:34 |
| cmyrland | rusivi, If you read my pastebin post you'll see that I've searched through both the Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas threads to get it running. | 13:34 |
| theadmin | jbwiv__: Keep trying, look trought the output produced by: "udevinfo -a -p /dev/sd*" | 13:34 |
| sipior | rusivi: your opinion is of no interest to me. | 13:34 |
| jbwiv__ | airtonix, actually, it'll be assigned a /dev/sd* letter without being mounted | 13:34 |
| theadmin | jbwiv__: Find some stuff with SUBSYSTEMS=="usb". | 13:34 |
| theadmin | jbwiv__: Should be it | 13:35 |
| minh | dli: thank you...give me a second | 13:35 |
| shadow98 | http://pastebin.com/uivn0WVF this is syslog from me trying to start heartbeat | 13:35 |
| jbwiv__ | theadmin, udevinfo doesn't appear to be installed on my system. let me check apt | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | minh, I suggest you add all the LAN IPs in /etc/hosts.allow , add a line , portmap , then underneath list the Ips like this , ALL:192.168.x.x | 13:35 |
| sipior | rusivi: sorry, that came across harsher than intended :-) | 13:35 |
| dli | minh, but it doesn't explain why you could still login and run one command at all | 13:35 |
| jbwiv__ | theadmin, are you sure it's udevinfo? apt-file search shows no results | 13:35 |
| rusivi | sipior: np | 13:35 |
| llutz | !find udevinfo | 13:36 |
| ubottu | File udevinfo found in libhd-doc | 13:36 |
| llutz | jbwiv__: ^^ unikely | 13:36 |
| theadmin | hm. | 13:36 |
| tgywa | Hi | 13:36 |
| tgywa | How can I remove packages installed from source code? | 13:36 |
| theadmin | tgywa: Find where you installed them, remove. | 13:36 |
| theadmin | tgywa: All I can suggest... they can be in all kinds of places )% | 13:37 |
| theadmin | %)* | 13:37 |
| jbwiv__ | theadmin, let me update apt-file and see if that changes | 13:37 |
| airtonix | cmyrland, why are you using sudo to edit fallout.ini ? | 13:37 |
| theadmin | jbwiv__: Well, I don't know much about ubuntu. There might be another way, let some ubuntu user guide you | 13:37 |
| jbwiv__ | tgywa, you can use checkinstall to created dpkg's from source tarballs if you haven't installed them yet. makes them easy to uninstall | 13:37 |
| jbwiv__ | theadmin, ok, thanks | 13:37 |
| evelyette | hi | 13:39 |
| evelyette | I just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 iso livecd install | 13:40 |
| mapd | is there a way to hide "e" and "b" options where it says the msg | 13:40 |
| mapd | ? | 13:40 |
| evelyette | but the X server is very small ... how can I change that ? | 13:40 |
| evelyette | there's no randr or something | 13:40 |
| mapd | ive seen a grub where does options didnt work | 13:40 |
| dli | evelyette, apt-get install x11-xserver-utils | 13:42 |
| mr_boo_ltp | did you guys know that linux is only 1.3% of the operating systems used out there | 13:43 |
| mr_boo_ltp | i was really shocked | 13:43 |
| evelyette | dli, ok, and what then? | 13:43 |
| evelyette | dli, it says: unable to locate package | 13:43 |
| mr_boo_ltp | i would've expected around 10% | 13:44 |
| dli | evelyette, check your sources.list, or Sources in software center | 13:44 |

| dli | minh, now, do you have access to the guest from other boxes within the LAN? | 13:48 |
| minh | BluesKaj, dli, airtonix: despite the connection being ULTRA slow | 13:48 |
| Pici | anygivenname: What about it? | 13:48 |
| minh | dli: I have no resources to test that at the moment, sorry | 13:48 |
| minh | dli: the connection is SOOOOOO slow even though it's "local". | 13:49 |
| anygivenname | Pici: it sends me a daily mail with logs.....power went off during today's send time....i want to see the log on the machine | 13:50 |
| dli | minh, I run qemu-kvm in gentoo, the host to guest scp gives me about 100KB/s, and ping time is about 9ms | 13:50 |
| BluesKaj | minh, are running wubi or VB or some such | 13:50 |
| awanti | hi, I am using AMD dual core CPU and i have 3 Gb of RAM. Running Ubuntu 10.10. My question is i am not able to utilize fully of my 3Gb RAM. I have tested many ways (running more application on my pc) but its utilizing maximum 800-980 MB of RAM. So plz. help me how do i Utilize every Hardware resource on from my pc. | 13:50 |
| minh | BluesKaj: VirtualBox | 13:51 |
| Devilz_108 | awanti, Is it the 64bits? | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | awanti, run free -m , in the terminal | 13:51 |
| awanti | its 32 bit | 13:51 |
| minh | dli: pingtime 0.600ms | 13:51 |
| dli | awanti, I suppose system is using all it needs | 13:52 |
| Devilz_108 | awanti, You might need the 64 bits but also Ubuntu is not a RAM hugger so 800-980 is enough for it | 13:52 |
| Pici | anygivenname: It generates it when it does the send. Just run it again manually. | 13:52 |
| dli | minh, let me try another guest, the 9ms is from HURD | 13:52 |
| anygivenname | Pici: how? | 13:52 |
| Devilz_108 | awanti, It shouldn't be using the 3GB full time | 13:52 |
| awanti | ok but when i am running any VM-WARE so still its is using maximum 980 MB of ram | 13:53 |
| Devilz_108 | That what it needs | 13:53 |
| Devilz_108 | If it needs more than that it will take don't worry ;) | 13:53 |
| Devilz_108 | If the programs are working well and less RAM is being used then that's good for you and for your PC awanti :) | 13:54 |
| suigeneris | I installed compizconfig-settings-manager, but I still don't have a System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. any thoughts? | 13:54 |
| minh | dli: so the speed is ok for commandline stuff....but X-forwarding is unbearable | 13:54 |
| llutz | anygivenname: sudo /usr/sbin/logwatch --mailto you@foo.bar | 13:54 |
| nemptor | i would just like to know how to check if i have a dsp installed? | 13:55 |
| awanti | Because, when i am running vm ware my pc gets slow... its not utilizing my ram... why? i don't understand!!! | 13:55 |
| dli | awanti, if you really want to see all RAM used up, you may run fork bomb as user (not as root): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb | 13:55 |
| Devilz_108 | It might be something with VMWare | 13:55 |

| fgh | im looking for a very basic and simple email-client for X/ubuntu/gnome. anyone could help? | 13:57 |
| anygivenname | llutz: asked for pw then blinking..... | 13:58 |
| DJones | fgh: The common email clients for ubuntu are Evolution or Thunderbird, I've not used anything outside of those | 13:59 |
| dli | fgh, evolution is too complex? | 13:59 |
| nemptor | hello anyone | 13:59 |
| uLinux | hello | 13:59 |
| ping__luce | hi. How can I check if this video capture card: kmc-8800 (http://www.allproducts.com/manufacture98/ankotech/product2.html) is supported by v4l2 and can be used on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 13:59 |
| fgh | dli: for my old man, yes :) | 14:00 |
| anygivenname | llutz: greeeeeaaaaat thanks....received mail | 14:00 |
| nemptor | can you help me with gtick? ulinux | 14:00 |
| llutz | fgh: gui-clients are all bloated, try claws-mail | 14:00 |
| realcooluser | I really just have gone to web-only for email, and forgone clients altogether (outside of browser) it's good for users, they only have to learn gmail once (or whichever service) and they can sit at any computer and get their mail | 14:00 |
| dli | fgh, I found thunderbird simple enough | 14:00 |
| llutz | fgh: or better: xterm -e mutt | 14:00 |
| dli | fgh, or just gmail | 14:00 |
| nemptor | uLinux: can you help me with gtick? | 14:01 |
| dli | fgh, my mother-in-law uses gmail/firefox to send out unbearable amount of junk, I suppose it's simple enough too | 14:01 |
| cmyrland | airtonix, sorry I had to go help my gf with some cooking ;) I'm using sudo because nautilus showed a small lock-symbol on the file and I wanted to make sure that I had write permission on the file. | 14:02 |
| dean_ | Hi there peeps anyone like to help a noob? | 14:02 |
| fgh | dli: gmail/firefox is what im about to replace with something simplier. maybe there isnt anything | 14:03 |

| anygivenname | vnc viewer | 14:06 |
| airtonix | anygivenname, define "different" | 14:06 |
| Devilz_108 | dean_, Adobe Reader isn't available for Linux as I know | 14:06 |
| cmyrland | airtonix, I can't see any errors concerning that. Maybe I should try changing permissions. However the game normally just has to read the ini-file, doesn't it? | 14:06 |
| iceroot | Devilz_108: of course it is | 14:06 |
| dean_ | its on software centre Devilz_108 | 14:06 |
| cmyrland | Devilz_108, yes it is. It's in the partner repositories | 14:06 |

| erUSUL | !ide | commodoor | 14:07 |
| ubottu | commodoor: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 14:07 |
| iceroot | dean_: enable the partner-repo and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread" | 14:07 |
| airtonix | cmyrland, i would of thought that it would need to make changes to that based on what you modify in the settings (ingame) | 14:07 |
| iceroot | !partner | dean_ | 14:07 |
| ubottu | dean_: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 14:07 |
| maco | commodoor: ive been using and liking KDevelop for C++ | 14:07 |
| gryllida | commodoor, qt creator | 14:07 |
| dean_ | you have confused me ubottu lol | 14:07 |
| airtonix | commodoor, KDevelop comes pretty close but you will only be able to use QT4 widget set for guis. | 14:07 |
| maco | gryllida: can Qt Creator be made to know about KDE libs? that worry is whats got me using KDevelop | 14:08 |
| StaRetji1 | HELP http://pastebin.com/WRCfiizj Nvidia drivers instal | 14:08 |
| cmyrland | airtonix, I can change graphics settings etc and they are remembered betwwen sessions, so I think the game has another file for that | 14:08 |
| StaRetji1 | I really don't know how to make nvidia drivers to work | 14:08 |
| maco | airtonix: KDevelop doesnt have the GUI stuff built in. you're thinking of Designer-Qt4, maybe? | 14:08 |
| dean_ | or is there a linux pdf reader? | 14:08 |
| anygivenname | airtonix: icons on panel are not the same | 14:08 |
| maco | dean_: evince is the default pdf reader in ubuntu | 14:08 |
| maco | dean_: okular in kubuntu | 14:08 |
| airtonix | maco, isn't Kdevelop the over-arching name for the four programs that put it all together ? | 14:08 |
| maxice | pdf can be read by default on ubuntu | 14:09 |
| maco | airtonix: no, its the IDE piece | 14:09 |
| gryllida | how do i delete user with his usersettings and ~ content? | 14:09 |
| commodoor | thnx guys, i'm using eclipse but not for c++ now i want to learn it but all the tuts that i have are for visual c++ now i don't have win | 14:09 |
| StaRetji1 | Anyone? | 14:09 |
| iceroot | gryllida: userdel -r username | 14:09 |
| maco | airtonix: at least, if you run the "kdevelop" command the only thing thats launched is the codey / debuggy bit | 14:09 |
| gryllida | ok iceroot | 14:09 |
| dean_ | I have ubuntu but no evince? | 14:09 |
| Sabri | dean_: on my system, evince was installed by default... It works just fine for viewing PDFs. | 14:09 |
| airtonix | dean_, what makes you think that ? | 14:09 |
| maxice | @dean seems so | 14:09 |
| mrpotato | algun español | 14:10 |
| maco | dean_: it is called "document viewer" in menus and in the title bar | 14:10 |
| Pici | !es | mrpotato | 14:10 |
| ubottu | mrpotato: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 14:10 |

| YuviPanda | i'm trying to install ubuntu (netbook edition) on a dual core desktop (don't want to download again) | 14:10 |
| dean_ | its not in my packages airtonix its my first day using ubuntu so I apologise if I am getting it wrong | 14:10 |
| Anomie2 | Can anyone help with sites-enabeld/apache2 ? My servers IP is directing to one of my domains instead of to my /var/www listing | 14:10 |
| YuviPanda | i'm trying to create ext3 partitions in free space (created by removing ntfs partitions from xp) | 14:10 |
| YuviPanda | and | 14:10 |
| airtonix | dean_, have a look in your menus... or double click a pdf file (i think you'll find that it is installed ) | 14:10 |
| YuviPanda | and i'm getting | 14:11 |
| maxice | @dean try systems>preferences>main menu | 14:11 |
| dean_ | fair enough airtonix thats great can I just ask if there is a equivalent to winrar? | 14:11 |
| YuviPanda | The ext3 file system creation in partition #6 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) failed | 14:11 |
| YuviPanda | i tried ext4, ext3 - all same issues | 14:11 |
| maxice | and see if u can find it in that list and enable the menu item | 14:11 |
| airtonix | dean_, ? right click on a rar file. | 14:11 |
| dean_ | or an equivalent to winrar? | 14:11 |
| nemptor_ | anybody who can help me with my problem with gtick | 14:11 |
| Devilz_108 | dean_, You can extract most of the archieves but to the rar files you have to download something | 14:11 |
| Devilz_108 | Give me a minute | 14:11 |
| maco | commodoor: i definitely recommend looking at Qt if you're looking for an easy-to-use C++-based toolkit that'll work on Linux, Mac, and Windows | 14:11 |
| Pici | !rar | dean_ | 14:12 |
| ubottu | dean_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 14:12 |
| airtonix | dean you might need to install p7zip-full | 14:12 |
| maco | commodoor: ive used its python bindings before, but last week i wrote my first C++ patch with it. was relatively painless | 14:12 |
| commodoor | thnx maco will look into it | 14:12 |
| nemptor_ | please anyone here who can help? | 14:12 |
| Devilz_108 | Yes as ubottu said that what I was looking for the "unrar-free" software | 14:12 |
| airtonix | !anyone | nemptor_ | 14:12 |
| ubottu | nemptor_: 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? | 14:12 |
| Devilz_108 | You can find it in Synaptic | 14:12 |
| dean_ | p7zipfull I've heard of 7 zip actually | 14:12 |
| commodoor | kdevelop looks great but i don't want to use KDE apps in ubuntu | 14:13 |
| maxice | @nemptor | 14:13 |
| airtonix | dean_, on windows it's actually better than winrar | 14:13 |
| nemptor_ | i already asked questions | 14:13 |
| christopher_ | Anyone know about grub? | 14:13 |
| nemptor_ | nobody seems to listen | 14:13 |
| maxice | @nemptor tell me | 14:13 |
| christopher_ | Anyone know about grub? and how to configure it? | 14:13 |
| airtonix | clear | 14:13 |
| nemptor_ | i already asked if anyone who can help me with gtick | 14:13 |
| RabidGoblin | hey, i have an hp laptop, and my trackpad is completely not responsive with my user. before i log in, works fine. log in as guest, works fine. I think it may have happened after i touched the button to disable the trackpad, it always acts up when i do that. Usually a reboot will set things back to normal, but this time i cant get any response out of it | 14:13 |
| christopher_ | Anyone know about grub? and how to configure it? | 14:13 |
| airtonix | !repeat | 14:13 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | nemptor_: we have to figure out the gtick problem ourselves or are you going to describe it? | 14:13 |

| maxice | @naptor dont know what it is but i'll try to help by installing it myself | 14:14 |
| christopher_ | Im stuck with grub I have lost my windows partiton and need to reconfigure it | 14:14 |
| iceroot | shibuindie: that is normal | 14:14 |
| Devilz_108 | It's becuase 32 bit shibuindie | 14:14 |
| dean_ | I am installing 7zip now I assume this is the program? | 14:14 |
| ks3 | shibuindie, Most 32 bit systems won't detect a full 4GB | 14:14 |
| Mohan_chml | christopher_, What was your issue? for what you want to configure? what happened? | 14:14 |
| shibuindie | previously it was detecting properly as 3.9 but after a reinstall it shows only 3.4 | 14:14 |
| hateball | shibuindie: You'd have to use a PAE kernel on 32-bit | 14:14 |
| airtonix | dean it should provide archive manager the ability to deal with a wide range of compressed files | 14:14 |
| Mohan_chml | christopher_, you re-installed Ubuntu? | 14:14 |
| shibuindie | oh.. | 14:14 |
| dean_ | ok thanks airtonix | 14:15 |
| christopher_ | I had windows 7, created a partition for lubuntu. now on the grub bootloader i have lost windows 7. | 14:15 |

| iceroot | !best | dean_ | 14:16 |
| ubottu | dean_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:16 |

| erUSUL | nemptor_: but you installed jackd? | 14:22 |

| exebat | Hi is there anyone here that is awesome in networking that can help me by answering some questions? | 14:22 |
| Devilz_108 | Mostly the upload xibalban | 14:22 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, if you are using lucid or later it could be your path variable is not set properly | 14:23 |
| xibalban | But, as I quit deluge and try to browse using firefox, it slows down. | 14:23 |

| nemptor_ | already tried that but still have the same problem | 14:28 |
| xibalban | No, my internet rocks always but I cannot browse | 14:28 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: perl an wget are installed by default. | 14:28 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: the others you will have to search in synaptic | 14:29 |
| Devilz_108 | That looks weird to me xibalban , do you have another PC or operating system to test from there if the internet works fine? | 14:29 |
| AbhiJit | erUSUL, they are in synaptic. i need terminal way | 14:29 |
| uLinux | AbhiJit: sudo apt-get install <program> <program> <..> | 14:29 |
| Sabri | !vnc | 14:29 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 14:29 |
| uLinux | AbhiJit: you just need to know the package names | 14:29 |
| xibalban | It works great when I download packages using apt-get, it rocks when I use Deluge but it simply wouldn't browse using ANY browser | 14:29 |
| nemptor_ | erUSUL: does not work with me | 14:29 |
| AbhiJit | uLinux, that is what i am asking | 14:30 |
| Devilz_108 | xibalban, Check in the browser settings of Firefox/Chrome for some Proxy settings | 14:30 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: apt-cache search perl | grep '-perl' | 14:30 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, then aptitude should work as well | 14:30 |
| xibalban | Yes, I have Vista dual booted with Maverick, and browsing is a breeze on it. | 14:30 |
| Devilz_108 | xibalban, Otherwise it might be a problem with the Internet Service Provide so you might need to call them | 14:30 |
| uLinux | AbhiJit: IRC and SMTP are not programs.. but protocols | 14:30 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: apt-cache search perl | grep '\-perl' | 14:30 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, did you try the complete command i gave you? | 14:30 |
| Devilz_108 | What do you mean by "Breeze" you mean it's working fine in Vista? | 14:30 |
| shibuindie | yes | 14:31 |
| nemptor_ | erUSUL: do you know how can check why is jackd denies permission to gtick? | 14:31 |
| shibuindie | i copied and pasted it | 14:31 |
| xibalban | Yes, it rocks it is super fast | 14:31 |
| erUSUL | nemptor_: sorry is all i can help with this. you may want to ask in #ubuntustudio. jackd is specialiced for pro audio ) software | 14:31 |
| nemptor_ | erUSUL: do you know how to can check why is jackd denies permission to gtick? | 14:31 |
| ayush | why can't evolution handle mails with 5 or 6 jpg attachments? My computer hangs everytime I try to open such a mail. | 14:31 |
| n3rV3 | xibalban, depends on your torrent speed as well | 14:31 |
| Devilz_108 | xibalban, Then it must be something in the settings in Ubuntu I'm smelling some Proxy settings or bad settings somewhere. | 14:31 |
| nemptor_ | erUSUL: ok thanks | 14:31 |
| AbhiJit | uLinux, erUSUL ok | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | xibalban, which browsers are you trying ? | 14:31 |
| erUSUL | nemptor_: is not denying anything, gtick is an old program that does not support jackd | 14:31 |
| Devilz_108 | n3rV3, He said the internet is slow even if Deluge is not running | 14:31 |
| xibalban | I've checked and compared preferences in firefox with Vista and it's the same for Ubuntu maverick. No proxy used. | 14:32 |
| Devilz_108 | BluesKaj, He tried several browsers Chrome , FF .. | 14:32 |
| n3rV3 | as far as i remember he said torrents were running | 14:32 |
| n3rV3 | nothing else | 14:32 |

| datta | please does anyone know how to encode videos? | 14:36 |
| Rabbitbunny | datta: transcode? | 14:37 |
| Dcite | datta: I think there is alot more to video encoding than just a bitrate... | 14:37 |
| datta | Rabbitbunny: yes | 14:37 |
| xibalban | @BluesKaj, I've installed loads of applications using apt-get which downloads packages off the internet. It provides the download speed average as 200 kBps | 14:37 |
| n3rV3 | datta, vlc does it, for more options use ffmpeg | 14:38 |
| xibalban | ..also, bit torrent works great (I use Deluge) with about the same speed. | 14:38 |

| Dcite | xibalban: First your ping sucks.. second only wanted to know if it pinged.. third, I think you DNS provider maybe down or bad... | 14:53 |
| xibalban | Sorry, that must have flooded. | 14:53 |
| Sabri | dajhorn, unfortunately, preferences is only two checkboxes. | 14:53 |
| xibalban | Yes, it worked | 14:53 |
| dwayne | I used to disable ubuntu desktop gdm by moving /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm to /etc/rc.2/K30gdm, but it doesn't exist in 10.04. How should I disable gdm ? | 14:54 |
| dajhorn | Sabri: Which client are you using? | 14:54 |
| xibalban | I'm a bit relieved! | 14:54 |
| xibalban | @Dcite, how do I correct my DNS? | 14:55 |
| niewod | Hello | 14:55 |
| Sabri | dajhorn, the in-built Remote Desktop Viewer for GNOME. | 14:55 |
| xibalban | The IP and DNS are set to automatic | 14:55 |
| karthick87 | suigeneris: It shows the following http://paste.ubuntu.com/524464/ | 14:55 |
| Dcite | xibalban: I can give you a temporary measure... | 14:55 |
| thefeds | D-Bus fails to install on 10.10 | 14:55 |
| xibalban | @I'd be grateful, please! | 14:56 |
| thefeds | Why | 14:56 |
| thefeds | ? | 14:56 |
| Dcite | xibalban: Since I don't know anything about wvdial, I can only say.. replace the dns completely.. | 14:56 |
| trism | dwayne: it is started by upstart in 10.04, moving /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled should have a similar effect, or you can edit the file and add "and never" to the start on line, so you can still start it manually | 14:56 |
| suigeneris | karthick87 you are the only real user | 14:56 |
| xibalban | ...and how do I go about doing it? | 14:56 |
| niewod | I have tried to find PDF version "Ubuntu Installation Guide" for 10.4 from some time without sucess. Any ideas wher to go? Google is not very helpful | 14:57 |
| Dcite | xibalban: sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf | 14:57 |
| karthick87 | suigeneris: it says that i have users syslog,usbmux,saned,karthick and guest | 14:57 |
| dwayne | trism, thanks! | 14:57 |
| k4r4mb4 | can anyone help me with creating for loop? | 14:57 |
| dajhorn | Sabri: The "Depth Color" pulldown menu is available in the "Connect" dialog. If you're using a bookmark, then you might need to recreate it. | 14:57 |
| Pici | k4r4mb4: In bash? Scripting help is more on-topic in #bash | 14:57 |
| Dcite | xibalban: If that works, you'll be using google's DNS service. | 14:57 |
| blackshirt | k4r4mba: what you need... ?? | 14:57 |
| k4r4mb4 | in windows :( | 14:57 |

| dobak | hi | 14:57 |
| xibalban | @Dcite, permission denied | 14:58 |
| Dr_Willis | karthick87: sane = the scanner subsystem, syslog = the system Logger. | 14:58 |
| suigeneris | karthick87 ask someone else, I'm kinda busy now | 14:58 |
| dobak | hi | 14:58 |
| Pici | k4r4mb4: Well this is #ubuntu, if you're looking for Windows support, use ##windows | 14:58 |
| Dcite | xibalban: sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf | 14:58 |
| k4r4mb4 | they know nithing about windows cmd usage there | 14:58 |
| jpds | !gksudo | Dcite | 14:58 |
| ubottu | Dcite: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:58 |
| NickyL | I am having trouble with my wired connection. I have a wireless router plugged into a wired router. My laptop works fine, but my desktop stopped working a few minutes ago | 14:58 |

| k4r4mb4 | coz for is a command from dos | 14:59 |
| Dcite | jpds: Err oops, thankyou for pointing out. | 14:59 |
| k4r4mb4 | and you are more knowledgable people.that's why i ask here | 14:59 |

| shibuindie | n3rV3: Hi..after rebooting there is option to log into generic-pae, but it gets stuck at plymouth splash screen and no progress | 15:00 |
| shibuindie | n3rV3: Can boot into generic-pae-recovery | 15:01 |
| xibalban | @Dcite, changed and saved | 15:01 |
| Dcite | xibalban: Then please do try and ping yahoo.com again and see if it works. | 15:01 |
| Sabri | Slow as dirt, though. | 15:02 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, do you have a graphics card on your system? | 15:02 |
| shibuindie | yes | 15:02 |
| shibuindie | Nvidia GTS250 | 15:02 |
| Sabri | Thanks, wireless-b. | 15:02 |
| n3rV3 | ahh | 15:02 |

| shibuindie | oh..ok | 15:03 |

| xibalban | 14 packets transmitted, 4 received, 71% packet loss, time 42567ms | 15:03 |
| Dcite | xibalban: The last time you pinged you had a 4 second latency.. your 3G is not the fastest ^_^ | 15:03 |
| shibuindie | so I should log into recovery mode of generic-pae and install graphics drivers? | 15:03 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, this time as you can access only the recovery option you will have to do it from there | 15:03 |
| CharlieSu | Is there a way to do automated Ubuntu installs? Is it done w/ the alternate CD? Could someone send me a URL w/ the most recent 10.04 documentation on doing this? I have similar hardware and want to just pop in a CD that does partioning and package installation | 15:03 |
| shibuindie | ok thats fine..I will try | 15:03 |
| Da_Wrecka | Does anyone know of a text editor that can open a 23MB XML file without locking up? | 15:03 |
| shibuindie | logging out | 15:04 |
| shibuindie | will be back | 15:04 |
| shibuindie | thanks | 15:04 |
| maco | Da_Wrecka: maybe vi? | 15:04 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, wait | 15:04 |
| NickyL | can anyone help me set up a wired network connection in ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| shibuindie | yes | 15:04 |
| Da_Wrecka | maco: Maybe... I'm trying nano right now, but it looks like it's locked up too. | 15:04 |
| n3rV3 | are you familiar with the terminal (text prompt) | 15:04 |
| Sabri | Isenn, a guide for doing what with php5 on ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| xibalban | @Dcite, I agree. But, I should be able to browse as good as in Vista. | 15:04 |
| datta | using avidemux, what is the best option to keep quality but change file size? | 15:04 |
| Isenn | Sabri: Installing php 5.2 on ubuntu 10.10. | 15:04 |
| shibuindie | I just started with linux last week :-( | 15:05 |
| xibalban | Shall I fire up firefox and test | 15:05 |
| n3rV3 | Da_Wrecka, will take some time bu tthe file will open | 15:05 |
| Isenn | Sabri: 5.3 comes with ubuntu 10.10.. but i need 5.2 for my projects | 15:05 |
| Dcite | xibalban: Firefox should be caching some of the DNS names and start the conections sooner after it remembers a few of them. | 15:05 |
| Sabri | Isenn, I see, I see... No, I don't know anything about that, sorry. I just use what it gives me. xD | 15:05 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, well wait give me a few mins | 15:05 |
| shibuindie | but I try my best to use terminal whenever possible | 15:05 |
| shibuindie | ok | 15:05 |
| shibuindie | sure | 15:05 |
| Da_Wrecka | I've tried Abiword, gedit, Wine Notepad, Notepad++ via Wine, and on the Windows machine I've tried Notepad, Notepad++, Wordpad, even Winword... Wordpad opened it successfully. Everything else hung. I even left gedit for at least an hour and it was still hung after all that time. | 15:06 |
| maco | Da_Wrecka: something you can do is use "split" to break it into manageable size files then "cat" to reassemble when you're done | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | xibalban, is using irc on 3g the same as texting or are you charged for use as a cellphone call | 15:06 |
| datta | does anyone know using avidemux, what is the best option to keep quality but change file size? | 15:06 |
| Da_Wrecka | That could work I suppose. Be a royal pain in the ass, but I suppose it would work. | 15:06 |
| jrib | Da_Wrecka: 23mb isn't that much tbh... | 15:06 |
| Da_Wrecka | jrib: And yet, it's still enough to make every text editor I've tried bar one hang when opening it. | 15:06 |
| xibalban | I'll clear all cache and restart firefox. What say Dcite? | 15:06 |
| jrib | Da_Wrecka: try vim, disable syntax highlighting etc. | 15:07 |
| Dcite | Da_Wrecka: Maybe vi or vim? Assuming you don't have everything on ONE line. | 15:07 |
| Sabri | Where can I ask about the best text-editor for Ubuntu? I want to provide a list of features I want. | 15:07 |
| Dcite | xibalban: cache clearing should not be needed. | 15:07 |
| xibalban | @BluesKaj, well I've subscribed to an unlimited data plan. Hence, no charges per message! | 15:07 |
| datta | does anyone know using avidemux, what is the best option to keep quality but change file size? | 15:07 |
| Hatrix76 | I was used to the IOSTAT command and at some debian installations the iostat utility give ma all information in one line, as in (vmstat 1) ... but now on lucid iostat gives me statistics vertically, it's so hard to read changes if you do a iostat 1 ... is there a way to change the format to be on one line again? I did not find anything in the man pages .... or is this a new iostat? | 15:07 |
| Da_Wrecka | nano seems to have hung too. | 15:08 |
| blackshirt | Sabri: you mean just editor or something other with complet feature ?? | 15:08 |
| Da_Wrecka | Killed nano, trying vi | 15:08 |
| Da_Wrecka | okay, vi seems to have loaded it... Apparently the whole XML file IS on one line. (machine-generated, not manual) | 15:09 |
| jrib | Da_Wrecka: the real question is why you are editing it with a text editor | 15:09 |
| Da_Wrecka | vi's loaded it, but it's really sluggish | 15:09 |
| xibalban | I searched for Ubuntu using Google toolbar. It says at the status bar (at the bottom), "looking up google.com" and stays there forever | 15:09 |
| Da_Wrecka | jrib: Because I wanted to check its contents and, if applicable, do a find-and-replace. | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | xibalban, that's not what I mean , perhaps your network is filtering web-browsing because your router appears as a text source rather than a browser sources to the 3G network ...does that make sense ? | 15:10 |
| david506 | Can I use certificate signing on my SSH server to avoid having to remember my server's fingerprint ? | 15:10 |
| jrib | Da_Wrecka: why don't you use some xml library in your favorite language or something like xmlstarlet? | 15:11 |
| xibalban | ...somewhat! But, hey I can now see the google search results. Let me try a link! | 15:11 |
| Da_Wrecka | xmlstarlet? Not heard of that before. | 15:11 |
| Sabri | blackshirt, I just want a text editor, but I want it to have code folding, syntax highlighting, snippets and a project drawer or project pane. Heh... essentially, I want TextMate. | 15:11 |
| xibalban | Ubuntu homepage it is, waiting.... | 15:11 |
| tgywa | How can I get the list of uniq entriies with two different files | 15:11 |
| david506 | Sabri wants vim | 15:12 |
| h_2_2121 | Sabri, have you tried geany? | 15:12 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, well here are some commands | 15:12 |
| Hatrix76 | Sabri: I hear you, TextMate *sigh* | 15:12 |
| n3rV3 | apt-get install linux-headers* | 15:12 |
| Sabri | See... my MacBook took a water spill... | 15:12 |
| n3rV3 | apt-get install nvidia* | 15:12 |
| n3rV3 | and it could work | 15:12 |
| shibuindie | in the terminal window? | 15:13 |
| Hatrix76 | Sabri: that's saddening, really, I feel with you | 15:13 |
| shibuindie | should i log into recovery mode of pae? | 15:13 |
| blackshirt | Sabri: maybe emacs/xemacs..it's not just editor..but fully feature editor.. | 15:13 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, yes | 15:13 |
| jrib | tgywa: some combination of cat, sort, and unique? | 15:13 |
| Sabri | So far, vim, xemacs and geanny are things I should look at? | 15:13 |
| xibalban | Alas, it hangs around at "connecting to ubuntu.com" at the status bar | 15:13 |
| shibuindie | ok..will try it out | 15:13 |
| Hatrix76 | blackshirt: emacs ... tz, Sabri is better of with vi than emacs | 15:13 |
| shibuindie | will be back | 15:13 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, prepend sudo to those commands | 15:13 |
| shibuindie | ok | 15:13 |
| === eth is now known as Guest98719 | ||
| shibuindie | n3rV3: why is there a star after the commands? | 15:14 |
| xibalban | @Dcite, thanks for your assistance. We could al least get to something. At least a page was displayed, though late! | 15:14 |
| Hatrix76 | Sabri: If you are comming from TextMate, It will be hard to move to something like xemacs, gvim (graphical vim) .... they are all really different! | 15:14 |
| n3rV3 | hi all do we get networking enabled by default in recovery mode | 15:14 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, that is so that it autocompletes with viable options | 15:15 |
| blackshirt | i don't think so... emacs is written by Richard Matthew Stallman aka RMS, GNu Hacker.. | 15:15 |
| shibuindie | ok..fine fine | 15:15 |
| shibuindie | :-) | 15:15 |
| xibalban | @Dcite, I remember you stating that this would be a temporary workaround. What ought I do to resolve it permanently? Talk to my ISP, maybe? | 15:15 |
| n3rV3 | shibuindie, one more thing | 15:16 |
| === Elaine is now known as Guest43319 | ||
| Hatrix76 | blackshirt: and your point being? | 15:16 |
| Sabri | Hatrix76, blackshirt, I just need those basic features. Tabs, project view, code folding, syntax highlights, and snippets. | 15:16 |
| n3rV3 | it would be better if you boot into you older kernel and then try those commands out | 15:16 |
| User88 | need help with grafix drivers :s | 15:16 |
| n3rV3 | it would be easier | 15:16 |
| User88 | nvidia-xconfig doesnt work, screen just goes into power save | 15:17 |
| blackshirt | Sabri: maybe you need IDE, | 15:17 |
| Hatrix76 | Sabri, take a look at this: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/features.html it should have everything you need and it's more in the look and feel to TextMate than emacs or (g)Vim | 15:18 |
| shibuindie | ok | 15:18 |

| Hatrix76 | (althought personally I am a huge vim fan for over the last 10 years ...) it's the best way of editing a textfile for me, because how you control it makes so much sense to me, but I would not recommend it for someone used to TextMate | 15:19 |

I can't delete it with nautilus either because nautilus crashs everytime I open the dir :D Any suggestions what to do to rename or delete this file? -.- | 15:21 |
| Hatrix76 | NickyL: I guess you have a harddrive problem dpkg seems to be trying to read off your disk and the disk can't deliver, that's probably the cause of the D state | 15:21 |

| BlueMatt | elzoog: it depends on what you are trying to do: if you want a simple desktop vm solution try vmware player or virtualbox (free and opensource), if you want server vms kvm is a pretty popular solution but vmware also has options for them | 16:55 |
| duffydack | elzoog, is it too much to activate it again? also look in appdb on winehq.org for info about wether your program works. | 16:56 |
| crashanddie | Anyone using PJSIP, or more specifically, PJSUA on Ubuntu 10.10? For some reason it doesn't detect my soundcard. | 16:56 |
| elzoog | Duffy: Yes it's too much to activate it again. I can only activate it for 3 computers. I also don't want to deactivate it for actual windows, activate it again in kvm only to find out I don't like how it runs in kvm. | 16:57 |
| BlueMatt | elzoog: whether you use wine of a vm with a raw disk, you will almost certainly have to reactive, as the vm has very different hardware from your native computer even if it is the same files | 16:58 |
| elzoog | bluematt: If the vm is actually using my already existing windows, then it's already activated | 16:59 |
| BlueMatt | elzoog: it depends on the program, it is possible, but most programs will check your hardware to make sure it is the same computer | 16:59 |
| jpentland | Hey. I've manged to mess up my grub configuration. How do I just get ubuntu to reconfigure it all in the same way it did when I first installed? Bear in mind i'll need to do this through chroot on a live cd. | 17:00 |
| delirus | is anyone else having a problem with the buggy beta nvidia drivers in 10.10? | 17:00 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: mount the root filesystem, mount /proc and /dev (not sure if proc is required, but dev is), chroot to the mounted filesystem and call grub-install /dev/devicename probably /dev/sda | 17:02 |
| Dwade09 | ok guys i got my folder shared and i got it set into vbox's shared settings permanent and i still can not get the folder to show up | 17:02 |

| dajhorn | delirus: Yes, Maverick shipped with dud drivers. | 17:03 |
| dajhorn | delirus: Get the stable release from x-swat. | 17:03 |
| * delirus googles x-swat | 17:03 | |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: I tried that but grub is telling me that filessystems don't exist. Its the actual config of grub i need to regenerate because I removed me /boot partition. I can't seem to figure out the new system either after menu.lst was removed | 17:03 |
| chrowe | Looking for a cheap UPS solution that will power on a Ubuntu system | 17:03 |
| Tr3LoS | Hello people, I have a major problem with grub. I tried to make it show every time I boot the OS I want to run and now it says only grub rescue | 17:04 |
| dajhorn | delirus: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 17:04 |
| Tr3LoS | Now I am running with Live CD | 17:04 |
| delirus | ty! :D | 17:04 |
| delirus | you've saved me! | 17:04 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland, then you need to create a new /boot partition, mount your root filesystem, then root/dev root/proc and root/boot then grub-setup... | 17:04 |
| dajhorn | delirus: Upgrading from the beta drivers in Maverick reduced my CPU time in X11-land by 90%. | 17:04 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: what version are you using, still grub1? | 17:05 |
| delirus | cpu time? | 17:05 |
| Dwade09 | ok guys i got my folder shared and i got it set into vbox's shared settings permanent and i still can not get the folder to show up in my windows xp setting. | 17:05 |
| dajhorn | delirus: The nvidia driver that shipped in Maverick consistently eats 30% cpu time on my computers. | 17:05 |
| dajhorn | delirus: The stable driver in x-updates idles normally. | 17:06 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: whatever comes with the new ubuntu. I installed from scratch. The problem I was having is that I came from archlinux and had a 32mb /boot which wasn't large enough to acommodate ubuntu's kernel images. I wanted to remove the /boot partition and just have it as a folder within / | 17:06 |
| delirus | oh | 17:06 |
| delirus | wow | 17:06 |
| delirus | I'm not getting that | 17:06 |

| Tr3LoS | can any1 help me with the grub question I did? :) | 17:06 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: oh ok, do you have a /boot folder in your root filesystem? | 17:06 |
| raidghost | What laptop manufactory should not be choosen when bying laptop? | 17:07 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: Yeah, I just copied the contents of the old /boot partition | 17:07 |
| ganeshran | Hi is there some compatibility issue in Digichat and Ubuntu ? | 17:07 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: can you post the commands you have executed and the output of each on paste.ubuntu.com | 17:08 |
| ganeshran | Its a java based chat which works well in Firefox on windows. But on Linux I face issues like the chat window doesnt close and sometimes the whole chat goes blank | 17:08 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: All I did was copy /boot to /boot-old, delete the partition. Rename /boot-old to /boot. Then I chrooted and ran grub-install a couple of times. | 17:09 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: try reinstalling the current kernel, as it should automatically reconfigure grub to ubuntu's default | 17:10 |
| Dwade09 | ok guys i installed samba and i set the folder up to be shared but in vbox using xp i do not see the folder. | 17:11 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: Ok, how do I do that? | 17:11 |

| _bt | hi | 17:12 |
| kubanc | has anybody ever installed simprocess on ubuntu? | 17:12 |
| _bt | how do you mount an audio cd from an iso in ubuntu? | 17:12 |
| blackshirt | Tr3loS: hello..what the matter with your grub ?? | 17:12 |
| blackshirt | _bt: what you mean ?? | 17:12 |
| jpentland | _bt: You can mount any iso with 'sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop diskname.iso /path/to/dir' | 17:13 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6. and press tab a couple of times and enter the lastest one (on a 10.10 desktop you probably want linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic) | 17:13 |
| Zendule | hello | 17:13 |
| blackshirt | hello Zendule | 17:13 |
| Tr3LoS | thank god, I was trying to follow some guides so I can make it when booting to show which OS to run (XP, linux) and now I restarted and it just said: sudo rescue> and waited for instruction | 17:13 |
| nave_ | hi evrybody | 17:14 |
| trans | hello everyone, by mistake I have formatted the partition with grub, now I have booted up from live cd, how to install grub | 17:14 |
| murbani | can i install apache2 mysql and run a cold fusion app on ubuntu | 17:14 |
| === rickh_ is now known as rickh | ||
| jpentland | BlueMatt: It's saying it needs to download the package but can't because it can't access the network from within chroot :/ | 17:17 |
| BlueMatt | trans: try mounting all your filesystems to a folder ie /media/root/ including a /media/root/proc and /media/root/dev partition and call sudo grub-setup /dev/drive usually grub-setup /dev/sda | 17:17 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: if you have /dev/ and /proc mounted and your computer can access the network, network should work fine | 17:17 |
| Tr3LoS | blackshirt can it be fixed? | 17:18 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: Not sure why it doesn't work then. I have done that. It says 'no address associated with hostname' | 17:18 |
| trans | BlueMatt: I'm new to Linux, don't understand could u give commands | 17:18 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: can you ping 8.8.8.8 or ping your routers ip | 17:18 |
| Tr3LoS | ... | 17:19 |
| jpentland | jpentland: ah I can ping my router but dns is completely non-existant | 17:19 |
| Tr3LoS | Where can I get help about Grub rescue? | 17:19 |
| BlueMatt | trans: sure, im assuming you only have one drive/your root filsystem is on your first hard drive, can you give the list of partitions and their original mount points by calling ls /dev/sd* and pasting it on paste.ubuntu.com | 17:19 |
| najwa_ | Tr3LoS: yes, exactly.. there are many problem like you | 17:19 |
| _bt | jpentland: you cannot mount audio cd's this way | 17:20 |
| _bt | they need presenting as a device surely | 17:20 |
| najwa_ | Tr3lOS: is your system dual booting windows and linux ?? | 17:20 |
| Tr3LoS | najwa I know, just Blackshirt asked what is my problem and he is not in chat now | 17:20 |
| dpackard | Hi all, anyone out there with experienced with tftpd-hpa ?? | 17:20 |
| Tr3LoS | Yes I have windows an linux | 17:20 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: can you boot to a livecd and mount your root filesystems, chroot and call grub-setup? | 17:21 |
| Tr3LoS | I am now booting with livecd | 17:21 |
| jpentland | _bt: It might depend what app you're using. I know vlc will play it if you just point it at the location you mounted it | 17:21 |
| _bt | jpentland: it doesn't mount cos there is no filesystem?? | 17:21 |
| najwa_ | Tr3loS: boot with your livecd and enter to rescue mode, or if there option to reinstall grub, choose it | 17:21 |
| trans | BlueMatt: I called that command, it showing non of the partions as mounted | 17:21 |
| freeday | how to view files on my USB on ubuntu server, im using VMware? | 17:22 |
| Tr3LoS | I am now with livecd, without livecd nothing opens. It only says "grub rescue>" and it waits for a commant | 17:22 |
| BlueMatt | trans: yes none of them will be mounted on the livecd unless they are mounted manually, I just wanted to see the drives you have so that i can help you with the mount /dev/sd... /media/root/... command | 17:22 |
| TendencyDriven | What's with the #ubuntu-unregged channel? ;O I'm registered... | 17:23 |
| jpentland | _bt: I've not heard of that error before. All I can say is make sure you specified the right file and a valid mountpoint and that you included it '-o loop' option | 17:23 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: the livecd should boot fine even if grub is completeley messed up, are you sure you have your bios set to boot the cd before the harddrive | 17:23 |
| Pici | TendencyDriven: You aren't identified. | 17:23 |
| TendencyDriven | Anyone have any experience with the customisation back MacBuntu? | 17:23 |
| manhunter | what's the command to unrar a file | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | manhunter: unrar can do that.. | 17:24 |
| Tr3LoS | yes, the livecd boots fine.. If I have no livecd inside it just says "grub rescue>" and it doesnt open windows or linux | 17:24 |
| BlackToW3x | its unrar | 17:24 |
| manhunter | Dr_Willis: yes,what's the full command?unrar -e ? | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | syntax may be unrar -e foo.rar (or x) | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | manhunter: try unrar --help or man unrar | 17:24 |
| Jef91 | Anyone know what the package for fspot is called in 10.04? | 17:25 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: ok can you boot the livecd and open a terminal and mount your root filesystems the chroot and call grub-setup, if you need more detailed instructions please ask? | 17:25 |
| trans | BlueMatt: I have mounted the partions as at /media, now what to do? | 17:26 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: ahh, resolvc.conf was empty because networkmanager wasn't running to fill it in | 17:26 |
| Tr3LoS | blueMatt if you can give me some more directions how to mount through terminal would be wonderful :) I am now running with livecd | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | 17:26 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 17:26 |
| BlueMatt | trans: once you have your root, boot mounted and have a proc and dev mounted call sudo chroot /media | 17:26 |
| NativeAngels | what is the lightest version of ubuntu for using on old hardware, but with wireless support | 17:27 |
| tensorpudding | lubuntu, maybe? | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | NativeAngels: any of them should have wireless support. | 17:28 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: what you need to know is where your root filesystem is and any other filesystems that you may need (only really neccessary if you have a seperate /boot partition) they should be in the form /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 /dev/sd3... | 17:28 |
| tensorpudding | how weak is the hardware? | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | NativeAngels: Lubuntu - smallest with a 'full' desktop./ | 17:28 |
| NativeAngels | its a old dell latitude | 17:28 |
| Sean93 | what should i suse to backup my system? CLI preferred | 17:28 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: you can find out what there is by calling ls /dev/sd* | 17:28 |
| BlackToW3x | Tr3Los first creat a an empty folder with "mkdir test" then mount your partition with "mount /dev/sda* test" change the * with the number of your hard disk to see wich number type this "fdisk -l" | 17:28 |
| Sean93 | use** | 17:28 |
| tensorpudding | NativeAngels: you might be able to run plain-old Ubuntu on it if it has 256 MB of RAM or more | 17:29 |
| NativeAngels | have tried xubunu but its sluggish | 17:29 |
| BlackToW3x | Tr3Los just type this "fdisk -l" | 17:30 |
| freeday | when I enable USB on VMware, ubuntu server detect: [1546.000858] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through. How do I able to view files on my USB through this? | 17:30 |
| Tr3LoS | I did it BlackToW3x | 17:30 |
| Tr3LoS | linux is on /dev/sda1 and windows on /dev/sda2 | 17:31 |
| BlackToW3x | Tr3Los what did you get as result ?? | 17:31 |
| Tr3LoS | sda3 and 4 are extended and swap | 17:31 |
| BlackToW3x | Tr3Los good | 17:31 |
| BlackToW3x | now | 17:31 |
| BlackToW3x | which one you want to mount ? | 17:31 |
| BlackToW3x | windows ?? | 17:32 |
| Tr3LoS | I want to make dualboot | 17:32 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: call mkdir test mount /dev/sda1 /test then call mount --bind /proc test/proc and mount --bind /dev test/dev | 17:32 |
| Tr3LoS | so that it asks everytime which os to choose | 17:32 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: sorry that should be mkdir test; mount /dev/sda1 test | 17:33 |
| Tr3LoS | mount: only root can do it | 17:33 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: place a sudo in front of each mount command | 17:33 |
| neek__ | not only | 17:33 |
| Tr3LoS | right :P | 17:33 |
| Sean93 | what should i use to backup my system? CLI preferred | 17:33 |
| Tr3LoS | according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /home/ubuntu/test | 17:33 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: good that just means that it already succeeded earlier, so just continue | 17:34 |
| neek__ | what can i do for install DNS | 17:34 |
| Tr3LoS | mount --bind /dev test/dev returns nothing | 17:34 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: thereafter you should be able to call "sudo chroot test" and get a root prompt on your root filsystem | 17:34 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: if mount returns nothing it succeeded | 17:35 |
| Tr3LoS | ok I got root | 17:35 |
| m_fulder | hey | 17:35 |
| m_fulder | how can I check who is connected to my network? I.e. all the used local IPs? | 17:35 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: ensure everything is good my calling ls /dev and ls /proc to ensure it all mounted well | 17:35 |
| ClvrRt_ | join #python | 17:35 |
| llutz | m_fulder: sudo lsof -i | 17:36 |
| qsma | CO tam?? | 17:36 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: they should just return a lot of files | 17:36 |
| Cedara | Question regarding MKV and Totem: I had it recently that Totem suddenly ended playing an mkv file. When I reopened it, set it shortly before that bit and replayed there, it went fine. Freakish error or where should I look to as the why? | 17:36 |
| Tr3LoS | ls /proc returns nothing | 17:36 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: Ok I've reinstalled the kernel, but at generating grub.cfg I gave me "Cannot find list of partitions" :/ | 17:36 |
| Tr3LoS | ls /dev returns a lot of files :) | 17:36 |
| NickyL1 | My network connection stopped working on my computer. The router works fine, since I'm connected to it on a different computer. I rebooted the whole system, and I did ifconfig, and everything seems fine. When I try to access the d-link router, I can not open the IP address | 17:37 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: good now we will install grub | 17:37 |
| Tr3LoS | great :D | 17:38 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: try grub-mkdevicemap | 17:38 |
| warpi | hello! do anyone know why my usb device dont show up under /dev ? | 17:38 |
| coraxx | rusivi: hi there ... did you see my update to the PDF/Evince bug report ? | 17:38 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: ok. Thanks for this btw | 17:38 |
| m_fulder | llutz, that command only shows my own IP and some of the ports Ive opened? | 17:38 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: call "grub-setup /dev/sda" | 17:38 |
| rusivi | coraxx: not yet, what is the bug number? | 17:39 |
| Tr3LoS | ok It returned nothing | 17:39 |
| llutz | m_fulder: + the tcp-connections | 17:39 |
| coraxx | 667752 | 17:39 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: Ran apt-get again and it gave me the same message | 17:39 |
| _Neytiri_ | how do i create a fake netwrok interface so i can connect with vm's running onthe mahcine and have that local only | 17:39 |
| andrew__ | can anyone tell me where to find drivers for ati 9200se? | 17:39 |
| m_fulder | llutz, I wanted to see all the computers local IP connected to my router (LAN) | 17:39 |
| nwebie454 | i built a new ubuntu kernel and installed the debs for uimage & headers. For the installed kernel : /lib/modules/2.6.36-1-generic/build is missing . google says kernel-smp-devel package is missing. how do i generate this if i building from sources? | 17:40 |
| coraxx | warpi: only when a module is loaded for the USB device will you see it in devices. | 17:40 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: ok now im not sure about that it should have given some diagnostic info, let me check really quick | 17:40 |
| Tr3LoS | should I quit root maybe? | 17:40 |
| DiogenesW | servus | 17:40 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: no, let me check what it returns on my system | 17:41 |
| Tr3LoS | ok | 17:41 |
| coraxx | rusivi: the bug no. is 667752 | 17:41 |
| llutz | m_fulder: sudo nmap -sP 192.168.10.0/24 or whatever your network is | 17:41 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: no it should return no output, but it doesnt do quite what i thought it did, so i need to recheck and figure out exactly which command you need | 17:43 |
| Lars_G | Is there any way I can set a skeleton resolv.conf so no matter what entries the dhcp adds nameserver 127.0.0.1 will always be the first? | 17:43 |
| Tr3LoS | ok dude, I will be waiting. Thanks a lot for your help | 17:43 |
| vigge_sWe | hi | 17:44 |
| Lars_G | Tr3LoS: What you're trying to do? | 17:44 |
| jpentland | BlueMatt: Ok it booted despite that error. Thanks for the help | 17:44 |
| andrej_ | hi. can anybody help me? my new headphones dont works on my Ubuntu 10.04 after I plug them. my notebook ASUS F3KA. thank you | 17:44 |
| warpi | coraxx, hi! i made a "diff" now before and after plugging in the device. and after plugging in the usb device i get "hidraw0" and "hidraw1"... how come there is no ttyUSB0 for example? | 17:44 |
| vigge_sWe | I am dualbooting with ubuntu and win7 and I had to reinstall win7 today, but that disabled GRUB so I can't boot into ubuntu anymore, how could I fix this? | 17:44 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: ok well you should be able to reinstall with a new config with grub-install --recheck /dev/sda | 17:44 |
| andrew__ | anyone know where I can get drivers for ati 9200se? | 17:45 |
| Tr3LoS | I am trying to dualboot my PC (win,linux) because it says at booting grub rescue and I cant open neither OS | 17:45 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: ok, can you try grub-install --recheck /dev/sda | 17:45 |
| coraxx | warpi: I think it's because the ttyUSB dev. is for the serial-module ... when USB "acts" like a regular serial cable | 17:46 |
| Tr3LoS | BlueMatt: "Installation finished. No error reported." | 17:46 |
| hovefirse | Hi folks! I just plugged in my wireless networking USB-adapter, and now I'm struggling to activate it. "sudo ifdown wlan1" gives me "ifdown: interface wlan1 not configured" and "sudo ifup wlan1" gives me "Ignoring unknown interface wlan1=wlan1." The drivers seem to be in place...now what?! | 17:46 |
| BlueMatt | jpentland: yea grub-install --recheck will regenerate the device map and should fix the error if you want the grub error to go away | 17:46 |
| coraxx | warpi: if the usb-device you are attaching is not a serial (COM-port) device, then that might explain it | 17:47 |
| warpi | coraxx, ok... because, this device have been showing up as ttyUSB0 before i installed ubuntu 10.10 i think... | 17:47 |
| sipior | Lars_G: yep, you want to set the "prepend domain-name-servers" option in dhclient. have a look at the dhclient.conf manpage (the example file at the end specifically adds localhost to the resolv.conf) | 17:47 |
| coraxx | warpi: what kindda device is it ? (is it a composite device ? -meaning 2 in 1) | 17:48 |
| rusivi | coraxx: Good work, just checked out the example pdf, it demos the error your referring to, I'll mark the bug as confirmed and we'll take it from there. | 17:48 |
| Lars_G | sipior: thank you sir | 17:48 |
| warpi | coraxx, its a cheap usb temperature device | 17:49 |
| warpi | http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/temper-tools | 17:49 |
| goltoof | gnome-panel bug, recently the area to toggle workspace moved over to the left side... any way to move it back over to the right? dragging etc does nothing | 17:49 |
| MrsB | vigge_sWe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 17:49 |
| coraxx | rusivi: thanx :-) | 17:49 |
| sipior | Lars_G: no trouble. actually, looking through the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file on my system, i note that the line appears in the file already: you should just have to uncomment it. | 17:49 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3LoS: now call update-grub and it should check for your windows partitions and if it lists Windows as found, you should be good to reboot and try it | 17:49 |
| ikhider | Greetings all, I have a video camera and a still camera. I want to do video conferencing. Do I still need to buy a webcam? | 17:50 |
| Tr3LoS | BlueMatt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524566/ | 17:50 |
| coraxx | warpi: ok ...so if the previsous Ubuntu (linux kernel) couldn't identify the USB method of connecting, it probably assumed SERIAL ...and the later version might have figured out the real method ..the raw-thingy. | 17:50 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: could you have forgotten to call "mount --bind /proc test/proc" before you called chroot. if so just call "exit" the "mount --bind /proc test/proc" then sudo chroot test again | 17:51 |

| Dusty_ | I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. | 17:52 |
| goltoof | Dusty_ why not 10.10? | 17:52 |
| Dusty_ | the intel driver loaded and worked great for me on my gma 950 chipset | 17:52 |
| Dusty_ | but now its not loading :( | 17:52 |
| Dusty_ | because 10.10 did not load my intel driver | 17:52 |
| Dusty_ | so I installed 9.04, which did | 17:52 |
| Tr3LoS | BlueMatt: It shows me the same again | 17:52 |
| Dusty_ | not 10.04 is not loading my intel driver again | 17:52 |
| Dusty_ | now* | 17:53 |
| aidang | Big reinstall 10.04 to 10.10 a few days ago | 17:53 |
| vince2678 | hi! | 17:53 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: that seems very odd, when you call "mount" after chroot does it show any errors? | 17:53 |
| ikhider | Greetings all, I have a video camera and a still camera. I want to do video conferencing. Do I still need to buy a webcam? | 17:53 |
| Dusty_ | does anyone know why my Intel driver isnt loading anymore? D: | 17:53 |
| goltoof | so either way you go intel driver won't load... i'd focus getting it loading in 10.10 | 17:53 |
| ikhider | How can I video conference with a video camera? | 17:53 |
| Dusty_ | I think im going to downgrade to 9.10. 10.x just seems to suck hard | 17:53 |
| ikhider | The video cam has both firewire and usb connector | 17:54 |
| goltoof | ikhider skype | 17:54 |
| Tr3LoS | BlueMatt: mount: mount point test/proc does not exist | 17:54 |
| ikhider | goltoof, Yes, but how? | 17:54 |
| Dusty_ | I camped in this IRC channel for a few days, and no one was able to figure out why Intel wasn't load, Goltoof | 17:54 |
| ikhider | goltoof, How do I get ubuntu to recognize the video camera | 17:54 |
| Sean93 | " You can even remove every single file of a Linux system while it is running with one command." what is the command? | 17:54 |
| goltoof | Dusty_ if you don't configure it properly,, yes it will suck hard | 17:54 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: are you still within the root chroot prompt | 17:54 |
| goltoof | ikhider sudo apt-get install skype | 17:54 |
| Dusty_ | I'm not exactly a linux genius, but I know how to configure X.org. There's something *wrong* with it | 17:55 |
| ikhider | goltoof, Yes, I have it. But the computer does not yet recognise the video camera | 17:55 |
| vince2678 | if you have a webcam and want to login using face recognition, go to http://code.google.com/p/pam-face-authentication/ | 17:55 |
| goltoof | ikhider, what kind of camera? if it doesn't include drivers you'll need to snoop around for an installer package | 17:55 |
| Tr3LoS | yes | 17:55 |
| ikhider | goltoof, I have a panasonic video camera | 17:55 |
| Nach0z | hello hello. How would I use ubuntu terminal to show me how many computers are connected to the LAN that the computer's on at that moment? | 17:55 |
| Tr3LoS | BlueMatt: I had exited, mounted and then root again | 17:55 |
| opers_alert | gnaa here | 17:55 |
| goltoof | ikhider, model | 17:55 |
| opers_alert | sup | 17:55 |
| Dusty_ | goltoof: How do I tell what Driver linux has loaded? | 17:56 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3Los: ok if you call cat /proc/uptime do you get two numbers? | 17:56 |

| ActionParsnip | vince2678: if you run: sudo lshw | less you can see what modules drive what :) | 17:57 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3LoS: and you still get the error when you try to call update-grub? | 17:57 |
| Dusty_ | uhhh... it looks like its loading i915 drivers >_> | 17:57 |
| Sabri | Your homework is due in less than twelve hours. Now is not a good time to set up Evolution with a six year old Gmail account that you've never pruned. | 17:57 |

| Sean93 | " You can even remove every single file of a Linux system while it is running with one command." what is the command? | 17:57 |
| Tr3LoS | yup | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Sean93: don't | 17:58 |
| Pelo | afternoon folks, I heed a little help with sudoers I need to run the shutdown command without root or sudo | 17:58 |
| vince2678 | Intel graphics are troublesome : I cant play Runescape High Def. online | 17:58 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3LoS: and can you call just "mount" and get a list of mounted filesystems or an error? | 17:58 |
| Tr3LoS | BlueMatt: when I time mount on root it gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524569/ | 17:58 |
| goltoof | Sean93, alt+f4 | 17:58 |
| Sean93 | goltoof: orly?? | 17:58 |
| Sean93 | ActionParsnip: why not?? | 17:58 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3LoS: good can you try calling "update-grub" again? | 17:58 |
| Dusty_ | say Goltoof, do you know why it might be loading i915 drivers and not intel? I have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf... | 17:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Pelo: me neither | 17:59 |
| vince2678 | does anyone use ubuntu with BTRFS? | 17:59 |
| BlueMatt | Tr3LoS: from within the chroot what does cat /proc/mounts give? | 17:59 |
| Sean93 | ActionParsnip: I'm just curious | 17:59 |
| anonymous_1 | I can't run my binaries, ubuntu 10.10 amd64 gives me msg "there is no application installed for executable files" | 17:59 |
| Kartagis | !find glxinfo | 18:00 |
| ubottu | File glxinfo found in libgtkglext1-dev, mesa-utils, xmanpages-ja | 18:00 |
| alex_ | ok. i was reading something on newegg about people complaining about SSD's compatibility. though it seems to me like they just didn't know what they were doing. i didn't realize a piece of hardware could be so sensitive about what type of filesystem is on it | 18:00 |

| ActionParsnip | Nach0z: use nmap | 18:01 |
| anonymous_1 | @besogon what does that mean? | 18:01 |
| vince2678 | alex: Windows will mess up Linux MBR and might delete Linux partitions | 18:02 |

| anonymous_1 | @vince2678 it doesn't, AROS does it | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Nach0z: easier is to look in your routers dhcp client list | 18:02 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip, any a specific command to view that with nmap? | 18:02 |
| Tr3LoS | Is it ok now? | 18:02 |
| === vince2678 is now known as anon | ||
| besogon | anonymous_1: For instance, txt files should be opened by gedit. There should be mime type for that. Purely binare files don't need it. They starts if they can | 18:03 |

| BlueMatt | Tr3LoS: im not sure, i dont think so as it didnt find your windows partition/ie currently only ubuntu will be bootable | 18:04 |
| Nach0z | @actionparsnip Nmap is showing me open ports, not which computers are on the network. | 18:04 |

| Tr3LoS_ | Found Microsoft Windows XP Professional on /dev/sda2 | 18:08 |
| besogon | anonymous_1: very strange situation. I have never heard about such things. May be there have to be special binaries for amd64... Anyway. imho if you have right permission for the file you can start it. If you sill can't start it it's bad binary file. you can't do anything else but run it with Virtual Box or wine | 18:09 |

| goltoof | even with purge it doesn't even close gnome-panel | 18:39 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, yes? | 18:39 |
| sivakumar | goltoof, what are u suppose to say | 18:39 |
| trans | hello everyone, I have deleted the partion which has all the info regarding grub n patition table, now I cant install grub to another partition as there is no partion table | 18:39 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, ? | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: lock or unlock what? | 18:40 |

| sivakumar | goltoof, what is u r problem | 18:40 |
| trans | so what should I do to install partition table with exsiting patitions | 18:40 |
| ironfroggy_ | trans: the partition table is not in any partition. thats kind of the point. | 18:40 |
| shomon | I get this weird message on my local webserver (just installed, to try some php5 stuff) - Download ... which is a PHTML file. How do I fix this? | 18:40 |
| ironfroggy_ | what did you do exactly? or, rather, how? | 18:40 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip, the workspace toggler... can't drag when unlocked | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: if you right click items in the panel you can unlock then move them. If you are using the netbook remix then this is disabled | 18:40 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, i have absolutely no idea what you're talking about | 18:40 |
| ikhider | okay, what is a good linux friendly webcam to buy? | 18:40 |
| trans | ironfroggy_ I had grub at /dev/sda6, it was needless for me, so I deleted n tried to reformat as ext4, | 18:41 |
| goltoof | ActionParsnip, yes it's unlocked but i still can't drag, i doubt i'm using netbook this is my desktop | 18:41 |
| vigge_sWe | could you send the upgrade links again, fixed grub now? | 18:41 |
| trans | now I restarted my sys, it showed no grub | 18:41 |
| ironfroggy_ | trans: so you removed grub, not your partition table. what boots at the MBR right now? | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: you need to unlock the other items so it can move | 18:42 |
| sivakumar | goltoof, sorry ...i have seen that you want your gnome panel back is it right or wrong | 18:42 |
| LanceP | hey there, quick question, i have an ar5b93 wifi card and it doesnt work with ubuntu because a package is missing. last time i was here someone suggested the package but i cant remember it now. any help would be greatly appreciated. | 18:42 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, yes, i would like my gnome-panel back :) | 18:42 |
| trans | I have logged in through live cd ironfroggy_ | 18:42 |
| LanceP | oh and also as far as i remember i think the package had something to do with backend util or something like that but i could be totally wrong | 18:42 |
| ikhider | I have a video cam that appears to have a webcam option--but my Linux system fails to recognise it | 18:42 |
| ikhider | thus, what is a good linux friendly webcam to buy? | 18:42 |

| nothingspecial | vigge_sWe: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 18:43 |
| sivakumar | goltoof, then open terminal and type this command.....gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel | 18:43 |
| vigge_sWe | thanks | 18:43 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, will this reset my icons? | 18:43 |

| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: wait, i gave you the link with the how to, it says to edit the file. did you not edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ?? | 18:46 |
| vigge_sWe | ZykoticK9: well that link says I can upgrade directly from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 from the update manager? | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sivakumar: no i was agreeing. start from a clean slate | 18:46 |
| vigge_sWe | ActionParsnip: it didn't tell me that | 18:46 |

| ActionParsnip | vigge_sWe: i copied it from the page myself so I KNOW it's there | 18:47 |
| jrib | wikidjeff: use a port higher than 1024 then | 18:47 |
| wikidjeff | jrib: this is for an assignment which specifically calls for port 80 | 18:47 |

| ikhider | Maybe I have to buy another webcam? | 18:50 |
| wikidjeff | jrib: ok, I guess I'll just try using a higher port and then switching it to 80 when I submit the assignment | 18:50 |

| ZykoticK9 | thevishy, isn't libmoon part of silverlight? i'm not sure... | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | seeker7: what is the output of: lsb_release -c ? | 18:52 |
| beinghuman | found it | 18:52 |
| commodoor | ok nobody knows about "wpa_supplicant[1263]: Association request to the driver failed" | 18:52 |
| thevishy | No it comes with chromium loading | 18:52 |
| seeker7 | when we turn on it auto goes to desktop | 18:53 |

| ActionParsnip | seeker7: ok run: lsb_release -c what is output? | 18:53 |
| seeker7 | ActionParsnip: sorry computer is not availabel at this moment | 18:54 |
| thevishy | ZykoticK9, sees like it is and that chrome doesnt seem to support it wel enought or something there si some bug registeree with th issyue | 18:54 |
| sivakumar | anyone know about how to set drapes to run on start up | 18:54 |
| beinghuman | okay so in the live CD I'm trying to put fix the grub MBR | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | seeker7: well when it becomes available, you need to run it. We need the output | 18:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | thevishy, i had the same segfault with 10.04LTS and Firefox (a while ago), i resolved by removing silverlight "sudo apt-get remove moonlight-plugin-mozilla" you can see my page on http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/quick-fixes | 18:54 |
| beinghuman | and when I do sudo grub | 18:54 |
| beinghuman | it says it's not there | 18:54 |
| slipp3d | ZykoticK9, yes libmoon is part of moonlight | 18:54 |
| thevishy | thanks ZykoticK9 so i cant use silverlight is it ? | 18:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | slipp3d, sorry, yes "moonlight" | 18:54 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, system > prefs > startup apps ... add drapes | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | beinghuman: http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/how-to-restore-grub-using-the-ubuntu-live-cd/ there are literally thousands of guides for this online | 18:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | thevishy, ? i played with it 6+ months ago, not sure what current support/functionality is... | 18:55 |
| beinghuman | thanks | 18:55 |
| sivakumar | goltoof, i had done this but is still not working | 18:55 |
| thevishy | now chrome comes fine when I uninstall that , so Icant use silverlight ? | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I can only think of a few sites that use silverlight/moonlight. | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | thevishy: maybe there is a bug between the two? did you check | 18:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | thevishy, is it chrome or chromium - not that it makes a difference, i'm just curious. | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: what site were you trying to use? | 18:56 |
| seeker7 | ActionParsnip: at boot it give screen with normal boot or restore to defaults boot the minilaptop has no cd drive on it | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | seeker7: you dont need a CD, nor did I ever mention one | 18:56 |
| beinghuman | ActionParsnip: i dude | 18:56 |
| beinghuman | I just said sudo grub | 18:57 |
| beinghuman | says grub doesn't exist | 18:57 |
| goltoof | sivakumar, can't even open drapes, sorry | 18:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | thevishy, actually, are you also running 64bit? i was, again just curious. | 18:57 |
| beinghuman | and you sent me a link where the first command is sudo grub | 18:57 |
| ikhider | ZykoticK9, So basically if I get another brand it should work out of the box | 18:57 |
| trans | ironfroggy_ I tried to reinstall grub at /dev/sd7, I got error msg "probing devices to guess Bios, /dev/sda8 not found" | 18:57 |
| sivakumar | i have problem on wine un-installer even after removing any windows software it is not removing from the wine application .......is there any sollutiion | 18:57 |

| beinghuman | nice job | 18:57 |

| ikhider | As listed in the wiki | 18:57 |
| trans | any idea? | 18:57 |
| ubuntu | why would bash say a program doesnt exist even though it does? | 18:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | ikhider, i don't know. was your webcam not listed? | 18:57 |
| ubuntu | ls file, shows file ./file file doesnt exist | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | sivakumar: you mean from the wine MENU? | 18:57 |
| goltoof | ubuntu, shouldn't you already know this? ;) | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | beinghuman: no, there are TONNE of guides as well as videos, if you try websearching a little first you wil learn more about the OS | 18:57 |
| slipp3d | anyone know why my bluetooth would have an issue with connecting my headset? | 18:57 |
| ubuntu | never encountered this before | 18:57 |
| ikhider | ZykoticK9, It is a video cam with a webcam option. The wiki lists webcams exclusively | 18:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubuntu, are you running 64bit? | 18:57 |
| sivakumar | Dr_Willis, yes | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: is it in $PATH? | 18:58 |
| ubuntu | let me check proc/cpu | 18:58 |
| ubuntu | Xeon system | 18:58 |
| thevishy | I installed silverlight pluggin when I was using FF , now thought of trying Chromium=browser ( NOT Chrome ) and it says libmoon trying to load but segmentation fault and browser terminates ....so removed the plugin for silverlight ... hence is it possible to use silverlight now ? | 18:58 |
| goltoof | slipp3d, is bluetooth enabled? | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | sivakumar: those are in one of your users home dirs hidden directories. You can delete the proper .desktop files. or try using alcarte to edit the menus and remove them | 18:58 |
| slipp3d | goltoof, yes bluetooth is enabled | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | thevishy: i'd see if there is a known issue | 18:58 |
| thevishy | 32 bit and its an old compueter | 18:58 |
| ubuntu | not in $PATH but I'm manually specifying cd /home/me/path; ./program | 18:58 |
| thevishy | ActionParsnip, there is a bug registered | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: ok is the file marked as executable? | 18:58 |
| ubuntu | yup | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | thevishy: then its a known issue, watch the bug to see if it gets resolved | 18:59 |
| ubuntu | chmod +x file | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: and does your user have execute access? | 18:59 |
| thevishy | Right thanks | 18:59 |
| ubuntu | it's root | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: you do have the Case Correct? | 18:59 |
| ubuntu | yup using tab to autofill | 19:00 |
| === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 | ||
| ubuntu | ./c (tab) auto fill | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: can you give the output of the command please | 19:00 |
| ubuntu | have a site you prefer? | 19:00 |
| ikhider | I just don't want to buy something else and find out that it does not work either | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | ubuntu | 19:00 |
| ubottu | ubuntu: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 19:00 |
| ubuntu | one sec | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: any pastebin will do | 19:00 |
| sivakumar | Dr_Willis, is there any command relating to this | 19:01 |
| ikhider | So I will get one of the wiki items and hope it works. It would have been nice if my videocam with the webcam option worked | 19:01 |
| r1k0 | how come when I do apt-cache search sources I get a bunch of results that don't match 'sources'? | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | sivakumar: use the alcarte program. or explore yoru users home dir and find the wine related .desktop files and remove them. | 19:01 |
| ubuntu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/524602/ | 19:01 |
| ubuntu | I'm testing out a Amazone EC2 machine btw :) | 19:02 |
| ubuntu | running irssi from it now actually | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sivakumar: look in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged too | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sivakumar: they seem to be in .local/share/applications also.. | 19:02 |
| slipp3d | does anyone know where I can go to reset all of the bluetooth options | 19:03 |
| slipp3d | I'm thinking that I have a broken config or package | 19:03 |
| goltoof | ikhider, good list here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | slipp3d: options the user set woule bein their home dir somewhere.. system wide would be in /etc/ somewhere. | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: why are you messing with user commands as root, can you give the output of: groups fics it will be ok to paste here as it's one line | 19:03 |
| ubuntu | not user fics | 19:04 |
| ubuntu | I jsut created that directory in /home | 19:04 |
| ubuntu | could go anywhere, I prob shove in /opt | 19:04 |
| goltoof | slipp3d, search and remove everything bluetooth in synaptic, then you can reinstall | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: can you give the output of: file; /home/fics/chessd/bin/chessd; uname -a thanks | 19:05 |
| glaucous | Do anyone know what nolapic_timer does in practice? Using this is the only way to make my boot not semi-hang multiple times (fixed by pushing power button). But it also seems to make some applications weird, such as qjoypad (emulates mouse/keys), gets unsmooth mouse. | 19:07 |

| snuxoll | wells: hi | 19:08 |
| ubuntu | the program was built on a 32bit system could that be the problem? | 19:08 |
| ubuntu | if so I thought 64bit could run 32bit apps | 19:08 |
| snuxoll | ubuntu: you need the 32bit libraries installed | 19:08 |
| snuxoll | ubuntu: also, what app is this? | 19:09 |
| ubuntu | chess server | 19:09 |
| ubuntu | custom code | 19:09 |
| ubuntu | apt-cache searching now for 32bit guessing libc? | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: the binary is 32bit and your OS is 64bit | 19:10 |
| snuxoll | ubuntu: install ia32-libs | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: you need ia32-libs it won't do it OOTB | 19:10 |
| ubuntu | kk tyvm installing now | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: for maximum compatibility, use a chroot | 19:10 |

| Steve[cug] | afternnon everyone.....I seem to be having an issue and woudl like to request some help. I just performed an apt-get dist-upgrade on a server to upgrade the kernel so that I can reboot it. The server crashed midway through the upgrade and I was forced to perform a hard-reboot. after the reboot I was unable to boot the server (it looked like the kernel would start up but nothing else). | 20:05 |
| dajhorn | StaRetji1: You may have clobbered your GL libraries by installing from the upstream .run file. If you have time, then uninstall and try again from the Ubuntu repository. | 20:05 |
| Steve[cug] | as a result I booted from the CD and ran in recovery mode to finish installation of the packages in question. After that the kernel looked like it was successfully upgraded to current and all of the other packages as well, however once i reboot I have the same issue as before. | 20:05 |
| Steve[cug] | here is a pastebin of the packages that I upgraded: http://pastebin.com/Ya9BVW5r | 20:06 |

| dajhorn | StaRetji1: That is probably the problem. Library mismatch. | 20:08 |
| tensorpudding | aussa: unrar-free is the free version, you can use it for extracting rar | 20:08 |
| dajhorn | StaRetji1: Reboot after the uninstall so that DKMS isn't surprised by an unexpected nvidia.ko module. | 20:08 |
| epictetus | can I ask my question again? i was running into the nvidia-restricted-driver can't-resume-from-suspend issue, i am finding tons and tons about this online but it's a matter of finding too many answers (many of them old) | 20:09 |
| aussa | tensorpudding: "We are sorry, Akr closed unexpectedly" :S, now what? hahahahaa | 20:09 |
| dajhorn | Steve[cug]: At power on, hold the right shift key to get the grub menu (or push <esc> if prompted) and boot the system into an older kernel. If that works, then reinstall the new kernel. You probably have a busted initrd. | 20:09 |

| Seafish | hi | 20:45 |
| guntbert | lourense: if I understand correctly you want to check if the files are identical - how about you run md5sum on them? | 20:45 |
| alkisg | lourense: try md5sum file | 20:46 |
| lourense | guntbert...will do thanks.. | 20:46 |
| Maahes | Will the new ubuntu notification system wrap growl or libnotify notifications? | 20:46 |
| lourense | guntbert...I have done md5sum and the results are identical... | 20:50 |
| guntbert | lourense: then the files should really be identical... | 20:50 |
| lourense | guntbert..the only difference I can see is when I use FILE..on the one server it shows DATA and one the other it shows PostgreSQL custom database dump - v1.10-0... | 20:51 |
| MohammadAG | Sigh, BCM4353 (broadcom) has such shitty drivers on linux | 20:51 |
| lourense | guntbert...the file is a Postgres backup... | 20:51 |
| guntbert | lourense: by default md5sum checks in text mode, with -b you can tell it to check in binary mode (see man md5sum) | 20:52 |
| lourense | guntbert...thank you...will check that... | 20:52 |
| guntbert | lourense: that difference might be because of file having another database - you could check that by sending the file back to the old server (different place) and running md5sum and file again | 20:53 |

| gNewPower | Hi, | 20:55 |
| gNewPower | I have a Venus USB2.0 webcam which used to work perfectly with Ubuntu 10.04. Now, since the upgrade to 10.10 the Sound Preferences menu "sees" the webcam under "Hardware" but does not "see" it in the "Input" tab and I cannot select it. Thus I now still have video, but no sound is recorded when I try to use the camera. Can you help please? Thanks! | 20:55 |

| duffydack | davi, both, ans some extra bits | 20:56 |

| guntbert | Jordan_U: thx for the reminder | 20:56 |
| xangua | you could try ubuntu-restricted-extras or xubuntu-restricted-extras but i don't know if that will install extra dependencies davi ; there is also #lubuntu if you want to ask there | 20:56 |

| cousteau | I'm a bit bugged because hitting F2 on a file on nautilus selects the whole file name including the extension, it didn't before and that was cool | 20:56 |

| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||
| Jordan_U | lourense: file uses a database to map that for instance a file beginning with "#!" as the first two bytes is a shell script. Some systems have a more extensive database than others. | 20:57 |
| xangua | duffydack: not using maverith, use the lubuntu-restricted-extras davi | 20:57 |
| duffydack | which is what I assumed..I`d bet (u)(k)(l)ubuntu-restricted-extras are the same metapackage for standard codecs and stuff. | 20:57 |
| xangua | maverock* | 20:57 |

| tangodown40 | i have a little problem here -- yesterday, I installed kubuntu-desktop in addition to my ubuntu-desktop. But shortly after, I decided to remove it and just stick with Ubuntu-desktop. Now, for some reason, whenever I use a browser the fonts are rendered differently from the rest of the desktop. Is there a way to fix this? | 21:12 |
| QTip | @goltoof, no problem, thanks for you help anyway | 21:13 |

| dean_ | Hi could someone help me with my firewall? | 21:21 |

| Raydiation | hi how can i set the network domain of my pc? e.g. workgroup | 21:22 |

| Aedolon | ActionParsnip: No, I'll do that now. | 21:24 |
| delirus_ | ActionParsnip: already done... but now I have the default ones from 10.10, and the exact same problem | 21:24 |
| Gugagoes | Someone aobut Toshiba headphone jack? | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rikmor18: your question is a hardware question and not ubuntu so is offtopic, ask in ##hardware | 21:24 |
| dewyface | if i find errors what can i do | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: do you use a router? | 21:25 |
| f00bar80 | vnstat -i ra0 returns => ra0: Not enough data available yet., any comment ? | 21:25 |

| tangodown40 | i have a little problem here -- yesterday, I installed kubuntu-desktop in addition to my ubuntu-desktop. But shortly after, I decided to remove it and just stick with Ubuntu-desktop. Now, for some reason, whenever I use a browser the fonts are rendered differently from the rest of the desktop. Is there a way to fix this? | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dewyface: try removing RAM til you isolate the bad stick, then replace. If you only have one stick then replace it | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: then look into port forwarding there | 21:25 |
| dewyface | i dont think its the ram, everything was running fine before hand i think tahts a bit extreme | 21:25 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, did you already reinstall ubuntu-desktop? | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: if your ISP throttles torrents then tis will affect you and you will need to use a proxy | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dewyface: its not extreme at all, its a simple test using a well respected ram tester. How is it extreme? | 21:26 |
| zmitya | hi Gents | 21:26 |

| dewyface | ActionaParsnip: Everything was working fine on debian though:| | 21:27 |
| tangodown40 | ubuntu-desktop was already installed, but after removing kubuntu-desktop I reformatted the / partition and installed ubuntu again. | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dewyface: well there will be a time when it works and a time when it doesn't, you may have just passed that time | 21:27 |
| Notorious_ | I'm having some trouble to install my ubuntu, I made a bootable pen-drive and with this pen-drive I've already installed ubuntu in one machine, but in this machine when the Install window appears both mouse and keyboard stucks, no matter what mouse is or keyboard | 21:27 |
| dewyface | ActionParsnip: ok cheers buddy im gonna do it hahah | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: if you forward the port in the router which you are using with your torrent client on the same port, it can help | 21:28 |
| dean_ | Earlier I was getting fast speeds but now its slowed down but on Bittornado its showing a yellow light which means I dont have a incoming connection | 21:28 |
| goltoof | if you're dealing with a fresh install then what you did before has nothing to do with your problem, less you formatted the partition improperly | 21:28 |
| Notorious_ | can someone help me? | 21:29 |
| Notorious_ | :x | 21:29 |
| Lars__ | yes i @notor | 21:29 |
| tangodown40 | goltoof: I didn't format /home, so whatever was on there is still there | 21:29 |

| dlublink | I want to encrypt a file using a public key that I have from ssh, but I don't want to import the key or make a key ring. I just want to reference the file directly. How would I do this É | 21:29 |

| f00bar80 | any comment ? | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: have you tested the USB health? Did you test the RAM? | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | f00bar80: on what? | 21:29 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, then your problem most likely is in /home, eh? | 21:29 |
| f00bar80 | ActionParsnip, vnstat -i ra0 returns => ra0: Not enough data available yet., any comment ? | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | f00bar80: what are you trying to achieve? | 21:30 |
| tangodown40 | goltoof: Yeah, but I already deleted any leftover KDE files | 21:30 |
| dean_ | I think maybe I will stick with windows seems alot of hassle with Ubuntu | 21:30 |
| f00bar80 | ActionParsnip, monitor my monthly bandwidth | 21:30 |
| Lars__ | windows buh ubuntu ya | 21:30 |
| delirus_ | dean_ go for gentoo. much simpler than ubuntu :p | 21:31 |
| meowsus | Is it possible to download a .deb package from the repositories to my desktop as opposed to using apt-get install? | 21:31 |
| Notorious_ | I'm using windows fine, but it's only when the Install window appears in the installation boot, before it the mouse can move properly, but in the exact moment when the "Install" window appears asking me for language and option both stucks | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | f00bar80: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html | 21:31 |
| dean_ | gentoo how is it easier delirus_ | 21:31 |
| delirus_ | heh | 21:31 |
| delirus_ | was a joke | 21:31 |
| goltoof | please clarify, if you purge ubuntu-desktop and isntall kubuntu-desktop... that's only going to change your desktop interface? it's nothing like a fresh install | 21:31 |
| Lars__ | delirus_: dpkg -i name.deb | 21:31 |
| fcuk112 | if i want to cp files with only extensions xxx, yyy and zzz, how do i do this? | 21:31 |
| delirus_ | (but a true one) | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: try these boot options: i8024.reset i8024.nomux=1 irqpoll | 21:32 |
| f00bar80 | ActionParsnip, i want it to append bandwidth usage , not to reset on every new session/connection | 21:32 |
| cousteau | meowsus: you can use packages.ubuntu.com, or use synaptic to generate a downloader script to download from another ubuntu | 21:32 |
| meowsus | ah | 21:32 |
| meowsus | Thanks cousteau | 21:32 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip, where to put this? | 21:32 |
| aeon-ltd | fcuk112: wildcards, cp *.yyy | 21:32 |
| Lars__ | delirus_: dpkg -i name.deb | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | Notorious_ | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Notorious_: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 21:33 |
| Notorious_ | Ty | 21:33 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, it is possible that the browser is using the stylesheet left over from kubuntu. That's what it sounds like. | 21:33 |
| dean_ | So is there an easy way to configure router to allow incoming ports? | 21:33 |
| tangodown40 | goltoof: I had both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed - ubuntu-desktop was never removed from my computer, only kubuntu-desktop. | 21:33 |
| felipellrocha | hey. i got a headless ubuntu server running virtualbox... i wanted that my host os to show in the monitor whenever i plugged a monitor to it.... not ubuntu... is it possible? | 21:33 |
| umut | any vim geeks aroun? | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | umut: try in #vim | 21:34 |
| Gugagoes | Man! Please! Someone know how to fix the headphone jack for Toshiba L655? | 21:34 |
| damian- | felipellrocha, from what you just said Ubuntu was your host.. | 21:34 |
| felipellrocha | yeah | 21:34 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, i suggest you sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop then | 21:34 |
| Sabri | !patience | Gugagoes | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Gugagoes: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 21:34 |
| umut | ActionParsnip: thx | 21:34 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri: How do I remove that stylesheet? | 21:34 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: yeah. pretty much | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Gugagoes: is audio coming out of both when you plug in a headphone set | 21:34 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, and reinstall | 21:34 |
| damian- | then you mean show your guest when a screen is plugged in? | 21:34 |
| JayPhill89 | is there a folder that has all the installed applications listed | 21:35 |
| damian- | felipellrocha, if you're running a headless ubuntu host without gui, you can't show the guest at all (because there's no gui to display it) | 21:35 |
| tangodown40 | goltoof, Will anything happen to my files / programs by doing that? | 21:35 |
| fcuk112 | aeon-ltd, i want to do something like cp *.[xxx|yyy|zzz] how do i do that? | 21:35 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, no | 21:35 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: so id have to install a gui for it to work? | 21:36 |
| Gugagoes | ActionParnship: There is no audio on both. | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | JayPhill89: you can make one with: dpkg -l > ~/Desktop/applist.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/applist.txt | 21:36 |
| dean_ | Ok I think as I am being ignored I was informed incorrect that ubuntu chat was friendly | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Gugagoes: ok let me see | 21:36 |
| tangodown40 | goltoof: And that'll also remove the leftover KDE stylesheet(s)? | 21:36 |
| Gugagoes | Thanks. | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: I ave you direction, use it | 21:36 |
| damian- | felipellrocha, correct. i don't know why you'd want/need that anyway unless you're having networking issues. virtualbox allows you to RDP to the guest system, not just the guest os | 21:36 |
| JayPhill89 | thanks ActionParsnip | 21:36 |
| goltoof | tangent3, not sure, but it won't cause any damage to reinstall, for sure | 21:36 |
| dean_ | I am a noob ActionParsnip I have no idea it looks difficult | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: its nothing to do with Ubuntu, its networking | 21:37 |
| guntbert | dean_: try ##networking | 21:37 |
| dean_ | I dont have this problem with windows though ActionParsnip it dont affect my speeds | 21:37 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: because i just got this new computer that i want to run the server 24/7. and sometimes i might need to use it for presentations, for which id like to have win7... | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: find your router manual and look how to port forward, if you flick around in your torrent client you will see the port used, port forward that port using TCP to the IP addrress of the system. I recommend you use a static IP so DHCP lease expiration doesnt sever the link | 21:38 |
| damian- | dean_, it's a very hard question to answer anyway, it depends on your router / network setup. look at your routers manual, there should be a part in there on how to forward ports | 21:38 |
| aeon-ltd | fcuk112: i would assume (i'd test on some copied or dummy files first though), cp *.{xxx,yyy,zzz} | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: if you sit in here and bang the "i'm a noob" drum you will ALWAYS be a noob, if you research some and ook around you will learn a great deal and get as good as I am sure you are at some other oprating systems you have used for ages | 21:39 |
| damian- | felipellrocha, i don't quite understand .. you have your server (ubuntu) running a vm (win7) and now you have a new computer, or? | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dean_: you dont run the sam client in windows so it works differently | 21:39 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: sry. yeah. the new computer is the computer running ubuntu + win7-vm... | 21:40 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, What browser is it again? Firefox? | 21:40 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip, is this valid for 10.10 setup? coz I don't saw anything like that when I installed on the other machine | 21:40 |
| fcuk112 | aeon-ltd, cool that worked, thank you! | 21:40 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: and i am constantly ssh-ing into it... | 21:40 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri: Firefox, chromium, google chrome, and some programs | 21:40 |
| skism | so I'm the guy with wubi problems installing xubuntu | 21:40 |
| skism | mainly maverick wouldn't work | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Gugagoes: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh thanks | 21:41 |
| damian- | felipellrocha, ah. then yeah you need your host os (ubuntu) to be running a gui | 21:41 |
| skism | lucid didn't, barfed graphical garbage even in safest graphics | 21:41 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, Have you tried resetting your theme? | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: is the system identical? | 21:41 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: alright! thz man! | 21:41 |
| skism | maverick even game me pretty plymouth | 21:41 |
| JayPhill89 | is there a fast way to switch between GNOME and Unity | 21:41 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri: my firefox theme? | 21:41 |
| damian- | felipellrocha, i MAY be wrong, there COULD be a way to passthrough a device (such as a video card) straight to the guest os, but i'v enever seen it / used it | 21:42 |
| adrian_kx | hi ppl | 21:42 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, No, your Ubuntu theme. | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | JayPhill89: press ALT+F2 and run: mutter --replace then run whatever it takes to get the unity bar | 21:42 |
| adrian_kx | anyone tryed to use ati catalyst with 2.6.36 kernel? | 21:42 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip, how so? | 21:42 |
| adrian_kx | or isnt supported by ati yet | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: in every way. | 21:42 |
| Notorious_ | dunno :/ | 21:42 |
| f00bar80 | ActionParsnip, which one monitor that i can use to know toTal internet traffic usage per month ? | 21:42 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip, but there's no menu like this | 21:43 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri, well, I did change it to something else, but it didn't affect the fonts. | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: if the systems in hardware are identical then they will act the same, if one has a different motherboard then it will directly impact the install process and be different | 21:43 |
| zkam | f00bar80, mac or windows? | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | f00bar80: not sure dude | 21:43 |
| f00bar80 | zkam, ubuntu | 21:43 |
| zkam | oh can't help you there f00bar80 | 21:43 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: aah. thatd be the perfect solution | 21:43 |
| felipellrocha | damian-: ima take a look into it...! thz man! | 21:44 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip are you meaning from the machine i've installed earlier? | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | f00bar80: you could use snmp to monitor sent packets and once a month take a reading then reset the counter | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: yes | 21:44 |
| JayPhill89 | ActionParsnip: mutter --replace acted like it was working but the screen that came up again was still Unity | 21:44 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, is it just your browsers messed up, or is it system wide? | 21:44 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip, no they're differente | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | JayPhill89: unity ises mutter as it's WM, it will be compiz in natty | 21:44 |
| Notorious_ | different* | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: then thats why its acting different | 21:45 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, Try changing the fonts to something else and then changing them to you preference. Tell me if that makes a difference. | 21:45 |
| f00bar80 | ActionParsnip :( | 21:45 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip, but it was not supposed to act like this, this is very strange | 21:45 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri, it's system wide, plus the buttons are also affected. | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | f00bar80: thats all i can recommend, using snmp is simple | 21:45 |
| docmur | my sound cards not showing up in the sound app so I when I dmesg I get http://pastebin.com/dBYE4pKA | 21:45 |
| X-Sleepy-X | does ubuntu make use of an already existing swap partition located under the same partition table as the intended installation partition during the installation procedure? | 21:45 |
| docmur | but I don't know what it means | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Notorious_: the hardware is different and may not work with zero options, so you may need some switches and stuff to make the kernel talk to the hardware right | 21:46 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, That's what I'm thinking. Try changing the font and then changing it back. See if that makes a difference. | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Sleepy-X: i believe so | 21:46 |

| boxbeatsy | hi, does anybody know why i am getting a white box at the top left of my screen when i'm using wine? | 21:47 |
| Sabri | tangodown40, Did you update any programs (firefox, for example) while under Kubuntu? | 21:48 |
| kona680 | hello | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Sleepy-X: you can use: top to see whats chewing the RAM, launch a terminal via CTRL+ALT+T and see whats going on | 21:48 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri, In fact, in Firefox a lot of the words are in a different language (i changed the fonts back to Ubuntu) | 21:48 |
| tangodown40 | Sabri, No I did not update any programs. | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | boxbeatsy: what app are you running, oris it all apps? | 21:48 |

| Sabri | tangodown40, You have me stumped. Of course, my understanding of Ubuntu is more limited... | 21:49 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip and how to set this special options that you told me? I don't see any menu like that from the wiki article | 21:49 |

| lopeze | Hey. I'm attempting to install StarCraft II and how to's tell me to follow these commands to unhide the necessary install files. sudo umount /media/SC2-L100-D1 sudo mount -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/sr0 /mnt cd /mnt . From there I'd use wine to install it but it hangs and as such I need to copy the CD's contents but I don't know how to. Anyone know how to transfer the data to the desktop? | 21:51 |
| X-Sleepy-X | danktamagachi: the only thing i noticed in a previos version of kubuntu was that the network manager didn't find any hidden wireless network but i guess there is a way around that... | 21:51 |
| pthakkar | #join virtualbox | 21:51 |
| Firartix | i am seriously disappointed by the way you can't open anything :| | 21:51 |
| goltoof | tangodown40, reinstall ubuntu-desktop... your previous kubuntu install must have compromised your settings. reinstalling should reset your settings | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Sleepy-X: could use wicd, its DE independant | 21:51 |
| coz_ | Firartix, not sure .... I have not use netbook much... did you try opening a terminal and nautilus as the command? | 21:51 |

| nameless` | hi there | 22:16 |
| GeekMan | hello all, i run ubuntu 9.10 I'm planning on upgrading my desktop to the latest version of ubuntu. first i have a few questions to ask. 1. my update manager tells me i need to update to 10.04.1 LTS, but if i remebered right with one of the distros LTS usually wont be upgradeable after you upgrade the release version. I'm not sure about this though I might be going crazy about that. plus the update is older. Also I would agree that do | 22:16 |
| GeekMan | ing a fresh install is the best way to upgrade but it is time consuming in a way. 2 what is the benfits of a fresh install as to a upgrade. 3. the update to 10.04 is old so would a update still be an option or is it going to cause problems with the kernels and what not. anyways opinions are appreciated | 22:16 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: steven@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -c | 22:16 |
| Sonic132 | Codename:maverick | 22:16 |
| GeekMan | :P sry for the large post | 22:16 |
| nameless` | my question is not at all related to ubuntu, but since there is a lot of people here i'm looking for an alternative to the ipod 160go, is there anyone i can speak with in private about that ? | 22:16 |

| nothingspecial | nameless`: Archos then, but like I say /j ubuntu-offtopic | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: you may have to tell apt-get to pull down the debs only then use dpkg to force install them to make the packages square, this kinda of thing is one of the huge weaknesses in package based distros | 22:22 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: My acquintance also said that this is an Alpha version of Maverick. | 22:22 |

| nothingspecial | zombiej: Yes, but this is unsupported here, I believe | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: time to learn | 22:23 |
| Cairo | what's the best IRC client for ubuntu? | 22:24 |
| zombiej | ahh ok im a noob wasnt sure | 22:24 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: I haven't gotten it fully upgraded. I did get some of them though before it went into broken package hell. | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | guampa: ok thats good | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: is this a clean install? | 22:24 |
| nothingspecial | zombiej: No problem | 22:24 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: It all started when I got the nvidia-current driver. Then I had a broken package that mentioned it. So I deleted them both and now I have another broken package. | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Cairo: there is no best app for anything | 22:25 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: No...not quite. But close. | 22:25 |
| coz_ | Cairo, I use xchat and I know many that use irssi | 22:25 |

| D4rkCl0ud | hi | 22:25 |
| guampa | Cairo: KVirc is good imo | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: apt-get has a switch to download only, debs are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives | 22:25 |
| D4rkCl0ud | who can help me? i cant install apts | 22:25 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu doesn't have anything similar to system file checker (sfc)? | 22:25 |
| Notorious_ | ActionParsnip you ask me if I am installing or if it's already installed, I answered that I'm installing the ubuntu, and when I boot with the installation pen-drive, in the "Install" screen, where it asks my language, etc, my mouse and my keyboard (hardware) stucks | 22:26 |
| Notorious_ | asked* | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Cairo: you are using an OS advocating freedom and choice, yet you wander in here for some strangers to tell you what to like and use? Smacks of microsoft don't you think?? | 22:26 |
| Sonic132 | ActionParsnip: How would downloading it only help? | 22:26 |
| Cairo | just a bit | 22:26 |
| Cairo | buy Empathy is horrible | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonic132: because it won't install so you need dpkg's --force-all option to push the package in and make things square again | 22:26 |
| Cairo | for me at any rate | 22:26 |

| GeekMan | ill just back up also when im backing up the files for the other users will they be encrypted in anyway | 22:28 |
| coz_ | Sonic132, generally apt-get downloads .deb packages and installs them | 22:28 |

| nothingspecial | duffydack: just -d will do | 22:29 |
| duffydack | sudo ifdown eth0 (ety0 for example) | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: sudo ifdown interfacename | 22:30 |
| duffydack | nothingspecial, oh,cool. | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | or: sudo service networking stop | 22:30 |
| dli | Solved, easier with n-m, like /etc/init.d/network-manager down | 22:30 |
| nothingspecial | Solved: sudo service networking stop ..... I think, then change stop to start | 22:30 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: and how do I get it to work again? | 22:30 |
| * duffydack doesn't use networkin manager :0 | 22:31 | |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: sudo ifup interfacename or sudo service networking start | 22:31 |

| guampa | maybe he is connecting via wlan / ppp / usb | 22:33 |
| duffydack | could also use synaptic to generate download script | 22:33 |
| Sonic132 | I'm trying to reinstall my nvidia drivers and any other upgrades Ubuntu sees fit to grace my presence with. | 22:33 |
| Solved | llutz: what is command to make it work again | 22:33 |
| llutz | ifdown/ifup won't work when using networkmanager, because they aren't configured in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:34 |
| llutz | Solved: sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 22:34 |

| Jordan_U | Sonic132: No, only do it if you actually have a problem. | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | Sonic132: You can check the SMART status via System > Administration > Disk Utility. And run fsck by running "sudo touch /forcefsck" then rebooting. | 22:54 |
| Sonic132 | Thanks...I copied that down. So I'll remember. | 22:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jordan_U, <slightlyOTbut> do you happen to know if the /forcefsck would work on another distro? say Fedora? | 22:55 |
| docmur | that post has to do with building the new driver, but the old driver worked this morning | 22:56 |
| docmur | so sometime from then till now in a reboot the card stopped working in Ubunut | 22:56 |
| nothingspecial | bug | 22:56 |
| docmur | well I may as well compile my own kernel then and do it correctly unlike the one that is bundled with Ubuntu | 22:57 |
| docmur | they clearly built the sound card in as a module | 22:57 |
| docmur | which is a very wrong concept | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | docmur, if Ubuntu was to build EVERYTHING into the kernel - it would be use, and a waste for most people. Modularity makes sense. | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | s/use/huge | 22:58 |
| docmur | modularity never makes sense, I've built my kernel for years when I used Gentoo and never ever had driver issues, as soon as I start using modules the drivers go to shit and I'm left with a broken system. If everything is built into the kernel then you'll have everything when you need it, so what give up the extra space and just move on it's not a big deal | 23:00 |

| sachael | are the cool black popups in ubuntu from a normal gnome theme or some ubuntu magic? does anyone know a similar theme with kde-styled popups? | 23:06 |

| ZykoticK9 | evelyette, not sure why you're getting a segfault (probably not a good sign) BUT use "sudo -i" if you REALLY need a root prompt (you probably don't) | 23:06 |
| sachael | obsidieth: I guess I could. I'm wondering if there is a gnome theme that integrates with kde, popups including | 23:07 |

| gh0stwheel | sachael, im pretty sure kde has its own popup notifications | 23:08 |

| obsidieth | evelyette: can you su to other users | 23:08 |
| evelyette | obsidieth, no | 23:08 |
| sachael | gh0stwheel: sorry, I'm talking about the tooltip popups, they are black as well | 23:08 |
| obsidieth | how strange | 23:08 |
| obsidieth | does the md5hash of your su binary match what it should | 23:09 |
| sachael | gh0stwheel: kde has these cool blue rounded tooltips as well | 23:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | evelyette, your not really suppose to run that command anyways - i'm kinda glad it's segfaulting. best of luck though - root shell is almost never required, if you need it you're probably doing something incorrectly. | 23:09 |
| obsidieth | is there really a functional difference between sudo su and sudo -i. | 23:09 |
| evelyette | ZykoticK9, no I'm not, I just don't want to type sudo always | 23:09 |

| mlq | gh0stwheel: that does not matter - it is just a virtualbox :) | 23:12 |
| Sir_Konrad | mlq, I recommend going to 10.04 if you need LTS | 23:13 |
| blackshirt | mlq: with a lot of attention sure | 23:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | evelyette, that's what excellent about ubuntu actually - it is very much a departure from the regular "unix" way of thinking about "linux" ;) sorry i'm OT. | 23:13 |
| rypervenche | I'm having problem with something in a shell script that I made to play a video game. I have it "killall ibus-daemon" since the game can't play with it on, then I run the java game, and afterward I have it set to "ibus-daemon --xim &" then "disown". This works when I run it in a terminal and when I double click on the .sh file and choose "run". However when I run it from a launcher or double click on it then choose "Run in terminal" it does execute "ib | 23:13 |
| rypervenche | us-daemon" once I close the game. Any help? | 23:13 |
| martianlobster | aeon-ltd: i just tried it out, it installed without any fuirther work | 23:13 |
| obsidieth | probably be bumpy. | 23:13 |
| aeon-ltd | martianlobster: good :) | 23:13 |
| martianlobster | ye :) | 23:13 |
| mlq | Sir_Konrad: so an upgrad to 10.04 is easily doable? | 23:13 |
| obsidieth | sudo's benefits dont lie in dump you into a root shell, theres more to it. | 23:13 |
| Sir_Konrad | mlq, Doable? Yes, but I seriously recommend formatting. | 23:13 |
| banisterfiend | ok | 23:13 |
| swim | I just installed 10.04 and for some reason when I have number lock on, the right half of the letters part of my keyboard does number and wierd stuff.. i've ran 10.04 on a computer exactly like this before and never had issues.. can somebody help?? | 23:14 |
| banisterfiend | can someone give me an exact command to type to locate the tcl.h file somewhere on my system? (sorry not experinced with linux) | 23:14 |
| Sir_Konrad | mlq, it's a disaster if you skip versions like that. | 23:14 |

| jimisrvrox | id like I know how I could start Vino through ssh...right now im using TightVNC and its just not working at all..I can get a connection to my ubuntu box but I cant click on anything or move anything at all.. | 23:14 |
| guampa | evelyette: you can just "sudo -s" if you want to stay root | 23:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | banisterfiend, it might not be there! Try "locate tcl.h" - my system doesn't find it! | 23:15 |
| mlq | blackshirt: ok, i guess i will give it a shot - is there, besides adding the new sources, something i should care about? | 23:15 |
| clincher | how do you make a partition active? | 23:15 |
| Sir_Konrad | blackshirt, I wouldn't do that... | 23:15 |
| banisterfiend | ZykoticK9: how do i refresh the locate database? | 23:15 |
| Sir_Konrad | good luck mlq. | 23:15 |
| mlq | Sir_Konrad: it is just a virtualbox image, i did a snapshot :) | 23:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | banisterfiend, better yet - do a full search "find / -name tcl.h 2>/dev/null" | 23:15 |
| Sir_Konrad | mlq, oh LOL! I thought you must have been dealing with a server or something. XD | 23:16 |

| guampa | i'm having issues with virtualbox "host" adapters, the second adapter just disappears on each reboot, and i have to recreate it from the UI | 23:17 |
| guampa | it still shows up in VirtualBox.xml though | 23:17 |
| Sir_Konrad | guampa, sure it's not a VBOX issue? | 23:18 |
| Sir_Konrad | guampa, did you install the Additions properly? | 23:18 |
| teemo | im not seeing a boot screen, while ubuntu is booting, is that normal? Is it an option? | 23:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | banisterfiend, no tcl.h on my system. you could try installing the dev version of tcl (i don't have any knowledge of tcl really, don't use it myself) | 23:18 |

| tgywa | Is there anyone here ... familier with ...checkinstall | 23:19 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | tgywa: hi | 23:19 |
| guampa | Sir_Konrad: as to the additions, they relate to a guest instance, the host adapters are global to virtualbox (the second host nic goes away without even starting a vm) | 23:19 |

| Sir_Konrad | hmm... ok guampa, you seem to know a good bit more about VBOX then I do. :P | 23:20 |
| guampa | i', asking in #vbox too, i still can't determine it's a vbox or ubuntu issue, still trying | 23:20 |
| blackshirt | lucas_: it was for live system ?? | 23:20 |

| blackshirt | lucas_: yes, it was greats filesytem available for linux..but i have no experience with it | 23:25 |

| Sir_Konrad | mlq, but seriously, you'd be replacing 50% of the system just doing that. | 23:26 |
| mlq | Sir_Konrad: thats what i checked right now, the deps are qute huge | 23:27 |

| Sir_Konrad | mlq, are you doing this just for fun? :P | 23:27 |
| mlq | Sir_Konrad: yes | 23:28 |
| duffydack | clincher, or could use the Disk Utility. fdisk and 'a' to mark bootable anyhow. | 23:28 |
| Sir_Konrad | mlq, ok. ;) | 23:29 |
| clincher | duffydack: ah, didnt know "bootable" meant active | 23:30 |

| swim | 10.04, my keyboard isn't working right when NUM LOCK is on | 23:32 |
| Sir_Konrad | mlq, seems like a lot of trouble to do. When I get that itch to do something I usually get involved with either helping with Ubuntu or take a small distro (aka Puppy) and turning it into a full fledged desktop OS. | 23:32 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, turn NUMLOCK off. | 23:32 |
| duffydack | Jef91, host key and Fx | 23:32 |
| swim | are you serious | 23:32 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, um... yes. What kind of keyboard? | 23:33 |
| Jef91 | diffydack Fx? | 23:33 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, desktop or laptop? | 23:33 |
| Jef91 | duffydack Fx? | 23:33 |
| Diamondcite | swim: Laptop? Desktop? Keyboard with an actual number pad? | 23:33 |
| swim | laptop | 23:33 |
| duffydack | F(number) | 23:33 |
| swim | yeah, it's got a standard keyboard setup | 23:33 |
| Jef91 | thanks duffydack | 23:33 |
| Diamondcite | swim: So it has the number pad on the side? | 23:33 |
| Diamondcite | swim: If so how does it 'not work' with numlock? | 23:34 |
| duffydack | Jef91, host as in the host key assigned to vbox. | 23:34 |
| duffydack | Jef91, right ctrl by def. | 23:34 |
| swim | Diamondcite: yes, numbers on the side | 23:34 |
| Sir_Konrad | Diamondcite, I doubt. Sounds like an X issue. | 23:34 |
| swim | Diamondcite: when num lock is on, the letters display numbers and funny characters | 23:34 |
| Diamondcite | Sir_Konrad: I'm more wondering if his keyboard was mis-detected and assumed the wrong key layout.. | 23:34 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, so a letter will display a number? | 23:35 |
| swim | i'm changed the layout to a few other things since i noticed this and none of the other layouts work either | 23:35 |
| avo | hey guys, im not even kidding, but my spacebar is not registering as a space in ubuntu lucid. (I'm typing this because I have a space copied to my clip board..) Ubuntu recognizes the spacebar, the text entry boxes in GTK flash for a bitwhen i hit them. How can I fix this? | 23:35 |
| swim | Sir_Konrad the letters on the right half of the keyboard will all display number and astericks and whatnot | 23:35 |
| avo | Woah, this is interesting, if i do shift-space it works..! | 23:35 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, a lot of laptop use the letter section of the keyboard as a keypad. | 23:36 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, check those keys. They probably have little numbers on them. | 23:36 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | NickyL1: I had the same problem but with a modem HUAWEI E156B | 23:37 |
| Sir_Konrad | actually one of my laptops has that... :\ | 23:37 |
| swim | I actually just replaced a computer just like this, same model, with this one, the previous one I had ran both 10.04 and 10.10 without any problems like this | 23:37 |
| NickyL1 | _16BitSubsystem_ how did you fix the problem? | 23:37 |
| swim | no numbers, my last computers motherboard had went out so i replaced it with exact same model, old one never had this issue... | 23:38 |
| Sir_Konrad | swim, check your BIOS then. Maybe you applied keyboard settings there. | 23:38 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | avo: maybe the problem is in your keyboard | 23:38 |
| avo | _16BitSoft_, Like a hardware thing? | 23:38 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | avo: yeah | 23:38 |
| swim | hmmm.. i'm not familiar with how to do that on ubuntu.. is there a bios update app in ubuntu??? | 23:38 |
| avo | _16BitSoft_, Certainly not, it only happens in GTK interfaces.. e,g, gnome-do isn't affected | 23:39 |
| Fito | friends: I have a problem with Function Keys..FN+Fx (suspend, volume works. Other like brigth control , wifi control doesn't) | 23:39 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | NickyL1: I couldn't | 23:39 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | NickyL1: sorry | 23:39 |

| Sir_Konrad | swim, it'll tell you which to press. ;) | 23:39 |

| scotly1234 | cruz: thank you. I can take most of the credit for the nice and easy. | 23:52 |
| cruz | I use to use Mandrake, and Suse. thanks scotly1234 | 23:52 |
| scotly1234 | cruz: Yeah, Suse used to be the nicest looking distro (IMHO) and easiest to use, but Ubuntu quickly caught up in looks and usability. | 23:53 |

| mlq | Sir_Konrad: ok, i guess i will give it another try tomorrow - i know build a newer apt version, but the checksums are failing :\ | 23:54 |
| scotly1234 | Spacemonkeyadb: Debian? debian who? | 23:54 |
| cruz | Yeah, I remember when Ubuntu had to be compiled and the copied to a CD if I remember right. That was my first experience with it and didn't like it | 23:54 |

| obsidieth | cruz: what are you su'ing to | 23:57 |
| Jordan_U | !noroot | cruz | 23:57 |
| ubottu | cruz: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 23:57 |
| blakkheim | cruz: watch out asking that here, they will get mad | 23:57 |
| Ninja | cause they're all too complicated | 23:57 |
| scotly1234 | Spacemonkeyadb: I was kidding. | 23:57 |
| cruz | ok my mistake | 23:57 |
| dmoore | #swarm | 23:57 |
| obsidieth | having a root password is fine | 23:57 |
| rypervenche | You just need to know what you're doing. | 23:57 |
| obsidieth | !root | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:58 |
| Scunizi | cruz: if you need extended root access use sudo -i ... don't forget to "exit" before closing the terminal | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | obsidieth: It is not supported here. | 23:58 |
| obsidieth | i didnt say it was supported here. | 23:58 |
| Spacemonkeyadb | @scott...I thought so. | 23:58 |
| Ninja | to make a root password, first get to a root shell (easy, just "sudo bash") and then type "passwd" and set a root password | 23:59 |
| cruz | got it guys, thanks for the info | 23:59 |
| obsidieth | just for the love of god, dont set it as a misc female name or a 'password'. | 23:59 |
