| xzj | hello, I just installed ubuntu from the alternate installer, but towards the end (after installing and creating my primary user), root was giving that user permission to do things but the install froze. I shut down and restarted and boot works fine, but this user doesn't have a desktop, doesnt have permission to execute anything, etc... is there a command that will give this user control of his own home? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | icy_: then how do you know it was consistent or complete????? | 00:07 |
| ahaney3 | galusr and you want it to run those commands every night at 12:02? | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | icy_ | 00:08 |
| ubottu | icy_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:08 |
| icy_ | because it boots from the image, i see the application | 00:08 |
| allowoverride | PhantomString: yes it is | 00:08 |
| icy_ | it just fails on detect CD step | 00:08 |
| galusr | Well I'm just using the current time to test. Once I get it working I plan to run it @ 4am. | 00:08 |
| icy_ | and other ppl have had the problem | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | icy_: the ISO may possibly be faulty, MD5 test would have shown this | 00:08 |
| galusr | ahaney3: Well I'm just using the current time to test. Once I get it working I plan to run it @ 4am. | 00:08 |
| sie | I tried to download the ubuntu iso, and I dd'ed it onto /dev/sdb1(flash drive). It ain't working — why? | 00:08 |
| galusr | ahaney3: Daily. | 00:09 |
| ahaney3 | galusr, might I suggest setting the crontab file to run every minute and see if it will do that properly? that way you know it's not a time related error? | 00:09 |
| icy_ | Even though it is from official ubuntu site? I have used the same method on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 without fail. | 00:09 |

| nothingspecial | Benkinooby: Use byobu | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !sensor | n0a1ias | 00:10 |
| ahaney3 | also, I believe you have to restart crontab after changes, sudo /etc/init.d/crontab restart | 00:10 |
| galusr | ahaney3: Yes I have tried that. I have been modifying it and setting it to run then at the next minute to test. Strangely the echo command is creating the log file but not writing the text into the file. | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !sensors | 00:10 |

Now, firstly stick was installed on Intel gpu and everything works well including OpenGL. Then I took out USB stick and plugged into Nvidia GPU pc and installed drivers for nvidia, everything works well including OpenGL. So, I'plugged back to Intel gpu PC and now OpenGL doesn't work. | 00:47 |

| roasted | Eventyret, still getting errors | 01:00 |
| roasted | Eventyret, I can get mail, just cant send it | 01:00 |
| coxn | what they cannot do is successfully get things like the automatic prompts for password when updates are available to work | 01:00 |
| coxn | or, for example, when firefox prompts for the install of flash | 01:01 |
| id10t | coxn, is your sudoers file default still? | 01:01 |

| coxn | id10t: I don't need to if people are going to initiate things; they can just use gksudo | 01:15 |
| replicasex | Eventyret, huge issues with it freezing the system especially when playing video. I had heard a lot of people had this problem so I went back to 10.04. | 01:15 |
| coxn | id10t: the issue is that when they are prompted by any interface to elevate their privs where they didn't start explicitly with gksudo | 01:15 |
| replicasex | Evelynn, essentially the problems made the system unusable. | 01:15 |
| coxn | id10t: for example, when they are prompted for updates. Or when they click on the software center from the application menu | 01:16 |

| roasted | Eventyret, my issue was I had a stuck email in my outbox causing the error, not the actual server settings. I had it right all along. Man. I suck. :( | 01:30 |
| roasted | Eventyret, mucho thanks for the help tho man! | 01:30 |
| Tweedle | when i try to type "su" my password fails, so i am VERY confused | 01:30 |
| dougb_freebsd | don't use su | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | Tweedle | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Tweedle: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

| drmp420 | is it normal for my laptop to run hotter with ubuntu 10.10 as opposed to win 7? | 01:32 |
| taofd | anyone here with extensive experience with fans? I'm having fan surging problems and it's super annoying :( | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | drmp420: you could try installing the 'powertop' stuff - that may give you some tweaks to reduce its power and heat. | 01:33 |
| bob3000 | #teste | 01:33 |
| hiexpo | everything that uses 10.04 and later like ubuntu , caine and deft will not boot from usb > what is the problem here ? | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | drmp420: its possible that win7 has some better drivers/optmized things to let it throttle down the cpu better on win7. | 01:33 |
| replicasex | Does anyone know if Kubuntu uses the same version of xorg as Ubuntu? | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | replicasex: yes - it should. | 01:34 |
| Solved | In my bootloader, there is the same things repeated over and over | 01:34 |
| Solved | how come? | 01:34 |
| replicasex | Dr_Willis, sigh :( | 01:34 |

| drmp420 | thanks dr | 01:34 |
| Solved | I dual boot, and there is one choice for windows XP, yet 6 for Ubuntu | 01:34 |
| Solved | (10.04_ | 01:34 |
| ejv | zaery: sudo kill -15 30703 or kill -9 30703 | 01:34 |
| zaery | thanks! | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | replicasex: there are some PPA's out for newer versions of Xorg. but ive never needed touse it. | 01:34 |
| myeyespy | How do I add a source like "lp:panflute" to my download sources? | 01:35 |
| dougb_freebsd | Solved: you have a lot of old kernels. Try moving the older ones out of the way, then regenerating grub.cfg | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Solved: 3 differnt kernel versions, with a recovery option for each... | 01:35 |
| nUOVO | hi all! | 01:35 |
| juliohm | how to host a software to Ubuntu software center? | 01:35 |
| replicasex | Dr_Willis, the problem is that apparently my system's nvidia card/driver isn't very compatible with it. | 01:35 |
| Solved | Dr_willis: what do you mean by kernels | 01:35 |
| replicasex | Dr_Willis, it's frustrating. | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !kernel | 01:35 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 01:35 |
| nUOVO | I need to configure q4wine but it doesn't fine /usr/lib/wine | 01:35 |
| nUOVO | why? | 01:35 |
| ejv | zaery: there is a difference btw, learn it! 15 sends a TERM signal, 9 sends a KILL signal. | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !info q4wine | 01:36 |
| ubottu | q4wine (source: q4wine): Qt4 GUI for wine (W.I.N.E). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.118-4 (maverick), package size 1258 kB, installed size 3368 kB | 01:36 |
| nUOVO | ubottu: ok, but I installed that | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:36 |
| dougb_freebsd | Solved: no offense, but if you don't understand what a kernel is, you might want to just leave things alone :) | 01:36 |
| zaery | ejv: good to know | 01:36 |
| Solved | dougb_freebsd: how do I move the old ones out of the way? | 01:36 |
| nUOVO | ubottu: cute bot! :D | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:36 |
| hiexpo | hmm | 01:36 |
| Tweedle | would my root password be the same as the one i set during the install? | 01:36 |
| Solved | Tweedle: most likely | 01:36 |
| drmp420 | yes | 01:36 |
| Solved | it should be | 01:37 |
| edbian | !root | 01:37 |
| 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 | 01:37 |
| dougb_freebsd | Tweedle: don't think in terms of a "root password" | 01:37 |
| plainas | ok, so i want write a script that assigns a global keybind to another script | 01:37 |
| nUOVO | so any1 here can please tell me where is /usr/lib/wine in Ubuntu? q4wine needs that | 01:37 |
| edbian | Tweedle, There isn't a root password by default in Ubuntu | 01:37 |
| plainas | from what i've red there's no clean way of soind this as it requires some hackery... maybe somone could point me the _easiest_? | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | nUOVO i notice here on a 64bit install i have --> /usr/lib32/wine/ | 01:37 |
| beaver | I need help getting a wireless connection to my Laptop | 01:37 |
| nUOVO | Dr_Willis: oh because I have amd64 also! | 01:37 |
| nUOVO | let me see | 01:37 |
| Solved | Is there any way to change the names of the partition options in the boot loader? | 01:37 |
| metaphaze | How does 'sudo' worked compared to escalating priveledges with issuing 'su root'? | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Tweedle: There is no root password by default. the initial user has sudo rights.. the sudo password is that password. | 01:38 |
| nUOVO | ta-daaan!!! :D | 01:38 |
| nUOVO | ty | 01:38 |
| Solved | metaphaze: sudo will ask for your password, su will not. | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | metaphaze: its better to use sudo -s, or sudo -i, as needed. | 01:38 |
| drmp420 | hey drwillis ran powertop | 01:38 |
| * replicasex is sad over the whole ordeal | 01:38 | |
| Solved | metaphaze: su = Superuser | 01:38 |
| drmp420 | now what should i look for | 01:38 |
| dougb_freebsd | sudo allows you to do everything that you would normally be able to do as root, but one command at a time | 01:38 |
| metaphaze | Solved, if I am logged in as metaphaze, and what to su to Dr_Willis or jane, or root, it will ask me for the the usr's password. | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | metaphaze: the initial 'enviroment' may differ in those cases also. | 01:38 |
| nUOVO | oh, when I press alt+f2 what should i digit to get terminal? | 01:38 |
| metaphaze | when I sudo it allows me to run admin tasks as my user, by asking my password. | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | metaphaze: thats how it works. :) | 01:39 |
| metaphaze | But metaphaze is not root, is he? | 01:39 |
| Solved | ??? | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | but by defualt theres no root password. so you cant su to root. | 01:39 |
| roasted | man | 01:39 |
| metaphaze | su = set user id, not super user | 01:39 |
| roasted | is evolution slow, or does it just take a while to heat up? | 01:39 |
| metaphaze | you can su any account | 01:39 |
| hiexpo | everything that uses 10.04 and later like ubuntu , caine and deft will not boot from usn whats the problem here did something change | 01:39 |
| Solved | Dr_Willis: how do I get rid of the older kernels in the bootloader? | 01:39 |
| xangua | nUOVO: you could just hit Control+Alt+T | 01:39 |
| metaphaze | that you know the password to, so it is not super user | 01:39 |
| Solved | do I need them? | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Solved: use the package manager and remove them. is one way. | 01:39 |
| hiexpo | ^usb | 01:39 |
| nUOVO | xangua: ty | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Solved: they dont hurt anything. the newest should be the default. | 01:40 |
| gryllida | why do the repos contain an ancient version of znc, which works as a web proxy and enyone using that znc can connect here and get booted off the server with the proxy scanner? who and when is going to update the znc in the repo with a newer version? | 01:40 |
| metaphaze | Dr_Willis, that sounds not a security flaw, can I set a root password, diff then my user acct? | 01:40 |
| Solved | Dr_Willis, I prefer to use the terminal | 01:40 |
| Solved | Dr_Willis: is there a specific command I can use? | 01:40 |
| nUOVO | and can someone give me some docs with story about in Ubuntu there's *only* sudo and not su? | 01:40 |
| con-man | how do you open a root terminal without typing "sudo su" | 01:40 |
| Solved | sudo apt-get remove ( )? | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Solved: sudo apt-get remove whatever | 01:40 |
| beaver | Can someone help me i can not connect to my wireless internet i am currently connected throughmy neighbors ethernet | 01:40 |
| plainas | nuovo, there's su too | 01:40 |
| nUOVO | it doesn't ask for root pwd during install | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | con-man: use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' | 01:40 |
| Solved | yes but how do I know what to replace "whatever" with | 01:41 |
| nUOVO | i know that | 01:41 |
| metaphaze | nUOVO, apparently there is no root account... | 01:41 |
| dougb_freebsd | Solved: If you make a mistake with your grub configuration you can render your system unbootable ... if you don't really understand what you're doing, your best bet is to leave it alone | 01:41 |
| con-man | Dr_Willis, what is this difference exactly? | 01:41 |
| metaphaze | This is confusing me too | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | metaphaze: Huh? not having a root password is not a security flaw. its a security enhancement accordding the the info on the topic ive read. | 01:41 |
| Solved | dougb_freebsd: I am willing to take the risk in order to learn | 01:41 |
| nUOVO | metaphaze: and why it doesn't ask during install? | 01:41 |
| Solved | If you tell me the correct commands, I will not make the mistake | 01:41 |
| plainas | root doesn't come enabled by default, you'll have to sudo -s then passwd to set a password for the actuall root user | 01:41 |
| rdw200169 | Dr_Willis is right, sudo > root | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | con-man: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 01:41 |
| metaphaze | Dr_Willis, so who is root then? The creator of the enviroment? The first account installed? | 01:42 |
| Solved | is there a command to get rid of older (useless) kernels? | 01:42 |
| rdw200169 | !sudo | 01:42 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | metaphaze: there is the root account.. but by default its basically 'locked down' | 01:42 |
| ejv | Solved: rm /boot/<kernel> | 01:42 |
| plainas | root is the system administrator, with maximum privileges | 01:42 |
| metaphaze | Dr_Willis, sounds good, but dangerous if the user uses less then secure passwords, or other issues. | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Solved: see what versions yu got installed. use the proper 'sudo apt-get remove XXXXXXX' command to remove them. | 01:42 |
| ejv | omg enough about root and sudo, take it to offtopic already... | 01:42 |
| * ejv facepalms | 01:42 | |
| Solved | Dr_Willis: how do I determine which kernel's I have installed, that is my question | 01:43 |
| dougb_freebsd | working as root and working with sudo are completely different perspectives .... the ubuntu way is to use sudo, so if you're running ubuntu don't worry about root ... simple :) | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | Solved | 01:43 |
| ubottu | Solved: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 01:43 |
| hiexpo | in system tools there is a root terminal in 9.10 but later editions i do not know | 01:43 |
| ejv | Solved: ls /boot | pastebinit | 01:43 |
| con-man | Dr_Willis, cheers, that helped | 01:43 |
| symptom | Solved, dpkg | grep kernel | 01:43 |
| ejv | or yea dpkg | 01:44 |
| dougb_freebsd | I'm running 10.10, is there a way to downgrade grub to the version that came with 10.04? | 01:44 |
| symptom | Solved, sorry it is 'dpkg -l | grep kernel | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | dougb_freebsd: you mean to use the older grub 1, or the version of grub2 that was with 10.04? | 01:44 |
| Eventyret | night IdleOne roasted | 01:44 |
| dougb_freebsd | Dr_Willis: grub2 from 10.04 | 01:44 |
| drmp420 | dr_willis ran powertop it keeps make reference to usb and bluetooth interfaces running recommend to disable | 01:44 |
| drmp420 | thanks for the heads up | 01:44 |
| dougb_freebsd | the version in 10.10 has a regression in regards to booting multiple freebsd partitions on the same disk | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | drmp420: powertop can give a lot of hints and info. overwhelming in some cases. | 01:45 |
| Solved | ejv: http://pastebin.com/chnaC7nf | 01:45 |
| drmp420 | its telling me to run as root | 01:45 |

| Solved | ejv: http://pastebin.com/XwgXuSjx | 01:47 |
| drmp420 | mrnelson got a service tag? | 01:48 |
| ejv | Solved: ok, so you're using 2.6.32-25, so if you're satisfied with the kernel and it's stable for you, use apt-get remove to wipe out 2.6.32-21 and 2.6.32-24 | 01:48 |
| symptom | Solved, also need to purge them | 01:49 |
| Solved | ejv: so I type sudo apt-get remove 2.6.32-21? | 01:49 |
| Solved | symptom: how do I do that? | 01:49 |

Any help? | 01:53 |
| xangua | ubuntu4shane: you can configure it in the energy preferences | 01:53 |
| ejv | Solved: i doubt dpkg scrubs your bootloader clean, you may have to manually go in and remove the old kernel entries yourself then run a `grub-update` | 01:53 |
| ubuntu4shane | xangua, well, sometimes it shows up, and sometimes it doesn't | 01:54 |
| Gnea | con-man: ubuntu doesn't use device names to mount, it detects UUID | 01:54 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:55 |
| dougb_freebsd | con-man: what kind of files are you going to be storing? | 01:55 |
| Gnea | Solved: I'm not following... what options? | 01:55 |
| mrnelson1986_ | zaery, oh i see, i missed that part | 01:55 |
| ejv | Solved: to update grub, sudo nano -wc /etc/default/grub | 01:56 |
| mrnelson1986_ | zaery, can you use the "kill" command? | 01:56 |
| Solved | Gnea: in linux bootloader | 01:56 |
| con-man | dougb_freebsd, media mostly, its currently NTFS | 01:56 |
| zaery | dougb_freebsd: thank you very much, it worked :) | 01:56 |

| mrnelson1986_ | beaver, sorry i don't know how to fix | 01:56 |
| dougb_freebsd | con-man: then blakkheim is right, ntfs is fine ... if you run into problems with accessing that from linux, I've had very good luck with fat32 | 01:56 |

| Gnea | hiexpo: good evening | 01:57 |
| Solved | Gnea: like I want to rename the ntfs partition to Windows XP | 01:57 |
| ejv | Solved: sorry grub2 shifted some config files around, sudo nano -wc /boot/grub/grub.cfg is where it's located | 01:57 |
| Gnea | Solved: show me the line that specifically says "ntfs partition" | 01:57 |
| ejv | Solved: stay with me, we'll get there, run that command ;) | 01:57 |
| Gnea | ejv: not sure where you're going with this... | 01:58 |
| StaRetji1 | Folks, can someone help me out making nvidia card work with nouveau drivers. Thank you | 01:58 |
| Solved | ejv: k i ran it | 01:58 |
| StaRetji1 | I can't bring X | 01:58 |
| Solved | ejv it says DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE | 01:58 |
| Gnea | ejv: let's make sure that that's what he needs to do first :) | 01:58 |
| ejv | he wants to simplify the display name in the bootloader | 01:58 |
| rinku_kokiri | you could unmount it, rename it, then mount it | 01:58 |
| rinku_kokiri | all with gparted | 01:58 |
| Gnea | ejv: he didn't specifically say that. | 01:59 |
| Gnea | Solved: or did you? | 01:59 |
| dougb_freebsd | ejv: it's not a good idea to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly, it is likely to get wiped out by some automated process | 01:59 |
| ejv | dougb_freebsd: i do it all the time, should be fine for some minor display changes | 01:59 |
| dougb_freebsd | ejv: I didn't say "impossible" I said "bad idea" :) | 01:59 |
| Solved | At the moment, I believe ejv is helping me to scrub clean the remains of the older kernels, but yes Gnea, that is also something I wish to do | 02:00 |
| rinku_kokiri | <Solved> Gnea: like I want to rename the ntfs partition to Windows XP << looks like he wants to rename a partition.. nothing to do with grub | 02:00 |
| drmp420 | how can i tell if bluetooth interface is disabled? | 02:00 |
| dougb_freebsd | ... especially for a new user who doesn't quite understand what's going on | 02:00 |
| ejv | rinku_kokiri: i think his terminology is just off that's all | 02:00 |
| rinku_kokiri | ejv, i think he want's to rename a partition, from what I read | 02:00 |
| rinku_kokiri | and editing grub won't do that | 02:01 |
| ejv | Solved: in that file you can edit the menu entries and remove them, if anyone knows a prettir tool speak up | 02:01 |
| ejv | prettier* | 02:01 |
| Gnea | Solved: okay, I wasn't sure, because you seemed to be focusing on one thing rather than another | 02:01 |

| ejv | ejv++ | 02:01 |
| ejv | ;) | 02:01 |
| Solved | ejv: so I run that command and then what? | 02:02 |
| dougb_freebsd | ejv: if he was successful in removing the old kernels, 'sudo update-grub' would be a better way to start then editing the grub.cfg directly | 02:02 |
| replicasex | you know, installing different desktop environments -- that's generally a bad idea, yeah? I've heard it leads to significant instability. | 02:02 |
| ejv | Solved: if you're worried, back out of the file (ctrl+x) and sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.bkup, then go in and make changes | 02:02 |
| nimbiotics | what are the restricted multimedia packages and where do I find them?? TIA! | 02:03 |
| ejv | dougb_freebsd seems to be an authority on this, so if you removed the old kernels like i instructed before using apt-get remove, run update-grub and see if that removes the old ones, then we can go in and change the silly names | 02:03 |
| ejv | Solved: ^ | 02:03 |

| plainas | how to i set a global keybind using a script | 02:05 |
| Solved | ok I need to get some rest | 02:05 |
| ejv | Solved: ok cool, now make the backup using this "sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.bkup" as precaution, now re-open via "sudo nano -wc /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and you'll see each loadable kernel has a menuentry, feel free to simplify them, be aware of syntax | 02:05 |
| dougb_freebsd | CJO232: define "essence" | 02:06 |
| rinku_kokiri | CJO232, that's a loaded question | 02:06 |

| dougb_freebsd | yes, it has | 02:08 |
| taofd | i'm having fan troubles, anyone here free? | 02:09 |
| rinku_kokiri | so how can you revert to a grub we currently use dougb_freebsd | 02:09 |

| dougb_freebsd | they are different | 02:09 |
| arrrghhh | rinku_kokiri, lol i'm not leaving ftp open... | 02:09 |
| dougb_freebsd | taofd: just ask your question | 02:09 |
| rinku_kokiri | arrrghhh, usb? | 02:10 |
| arrrghhh | rinku_kokiri, this is assuming i have physical access to the server at all times...? | 02:10 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, my fan keeps constantly surging (high/low) i've tried several fan control apps, but nothing seems to work, not even the bios options... | 02:10 |
| N00bsauce | Running 10.10. Off hand anybody know how to stop independent sound settings for flash? While watching a youtube if I hardware mute or software mute it totally ignores system sound levels and can only be controlled from the youtubes interface | 02:10 |
| dougb_freebsd | taofd: when you say "constantly," what do you mean? IOW, how often does it cycle? | 02:10 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, like high/low every 2 seconds | 02:11 |

| rinku_kokiri | arrrghhh, don't change your keys? | 02:11 |
| dougb_freebsd | taofd: does it do that in other operating systems? | 02:11 |
| rdw200169 | N00bsauce: thats more a pulseaudio thing... if you want to effect alsa, use alsamixer | 02:11 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, i havent had a chance to reinstall 7 yet, but it does this during bios load and grub boot screen | 02:11 |
| rinku_kokiri | so i have this problem... sound stops working on a clean install | 02:12 |
| arrrghhh | rinku_kokiri, yea no problem. i just don't have it setup currently, i was using password logins because it was easy... but it appears to keep hackers at bay it's best to use passwordless logins. | 02:12 |
| rinku_kokiri | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5bdd28390974852316ce0b1f5aa619894bc13b18 | 02:12 |
| dougb_freebsd | taofd: if it's doing it during BIOS load that sounds like a hardware problem .... or, possibly a buggy BIOS, I would check with your manufacturer and see if there is a newer version | 02:12 |
| N00bsauce | rdw200169, ack, afraid of that | 02:12 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, i have the latest bios version, and apparently there are a few others experiencing thsi problem -___-; i suspect its hardware | 02:13 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, i was just wondering if the linux kernel had control over fans | 02:13 |

| === zhang is now known as Guest76722 | ||
| dougb_freebsd | taofd: even if you have the newest version installed, try installing win7 then flashing the bios again ... the problem you describe could theoretically be caused by a bad acpi table entry, which would theoretically be fixed by re-flashing ... you might also try flashing to an older version of BIOS if that is a possibility | 02:14 |
| === Guest76722 is now known as zhang_ | ||
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, there is only the initial bios available at this time T__T | 02:15 |
| CJO232 | I am told on the gparted site I need to give my master boot record and the ntfs boot record? Whats the ntfs br and are there more than one mbr for each partion ( or logical drive) containing a diff. os? | 02:15 |
| dougb_freebsd | taofd: ah, then it is almost certainly a bug ... try reflashing, and if that does not work, poke your manufacturer | 02:16 |
| rdw200169 | rinku_kokiri, N00bsauce, one of the things about pulseaudio, is that it sometimes has problems finding the correct sound card... you *can* force pulseaudio to directly use a certain card by using a different means of finding modules. I.E., I edited my /home/<user>/.pulse/default.pa file to include "load-module module-udev-detect" and now my pulseaudio installation actually finds my HDA... | 02:16 |
| rdw200169 | ...Intel sound card | 02:16 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, okay yeah, i'm going to try to reflash once i install 7, and if not this netbook is only 3 days old so... | 02:16 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, thx for the help though, you've been more helpful than any of the answers i've received the past 2 days :) | 02:16 |
| dougb_freebsd | glad to help | 02:16 |
| dougb_freebsd | ... sorry it wasn't better news | 02:16 |
| rinku_kokiri | rdw200169, i forced it to use my creative hw... still represents a problem though.. waiting for it to surface again | 02:16 |
| CJO232 | "The MBR is first of what could be many partition sectors, each one containing a four entry partition table." (http://www.ata-atapi.com/hiwmbr.html) makes itr sound like each sector can have 4 partitions and each can have a mbr | 02:17 |
| sofaking88 | Hey everyone, I need some help. I have an inspiron 8500 and I can't connect wirelessly to the internet. What should I do? | 02:17 |
| sofaking88 | It has a brodcom wireless adapter, or something like that | 02:17 |
| rdw200169 | rinku_kokiri: N00bsauce also, running pulseaudio from the command line may help diagnose exactly what problems pulseaudio is encountering with using your soundcards | 02:18 |
| A1kmm | Is anyone else here had problems with using GDM as an XDMCP after upgrading from Lucid to Maverick? | 02:18 |

| rinku_kokiri | also, i CAN play two medias at the same time, and adjust both independantly (one being adobe flash.. youtube) | 02:18 |

| rinku_kokiri | more info... get multiple error windows referring to pa_stream_cork failed | 02:20 |
| rdw200169 | N00bsauce: i used to hate pulseaudio until i finally figured out how to use the configuration files to my advantage... took a little bit of 'getting my school on' though, at pulseaudio.org etc... | 02:21 |
| sofaking88 | octopus: I think so. I connected to the ethernet cord, and went through an update. I had something pop up asking me to activate the wireless driver, so I did, but it didn't do anything. | 02:21 |
| taofd | dougb_freebsd, just out of curiosity though, do you know how fan control usually works? I know that hardware wise, the fan will kick in at certain temperatures, but I also know that software policies influence fan speeds as well... | 02:22 |

| snoot | where do I go | 02:38 |
| apporc | Hi,man. Who can tell something about ubuntu's automount windows filesystem. It is that , when you \ | 02:38 |
| apporc | left click one disk icon , it is then mounted for you. | 02:38 |
| nimbiotics | dougb_freebsd: what I'm trying you to understand is that all FIVE persons whose phone calls I need to record have signed a waiver for me. On top of that, we do follow a certain protocol before I can actually start recording the call | 02:38 |
| PCChris | I have an autorun.sh on an eSATA drive that I would like to run when I plug it in...how would I go about automounting the drive? | 02:38 |
| debianman | ok, i come back soon | 02:38 |
| snoot | ruhroh | 02:38 |
| dougb_freebsd | nimbiotics: ok, good luck with that | 02:38 |
| DL | Hola? | 02:39 |
| rinku_kokiri | dougb_freebsd, and it only usually requires ONE PARTY to know the call is being recorded | 02:39 |
| snoot | hola | 02:40 |
| dougb_freebsd | rinku_kokiri: In the United States that is not correct, but IANAL, and this isn't the legal advice channel | 02:40 |
| rinku_kokiri | Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. Be aware that you will sometimes hear these referred to inaccurately as “two-party consent” laws. If there are more than two people involved in the conversation, all must consent to the taping. | 02:40 |
| dougb_freebsd | I was just giving nimbiotics one possible explanation of why no one was answering his question :) | 02:40 |
| dmsuperman | Is there a tool to re-analyze an mp3 and set the header data for the lenght? | 02:40 |
| rinku_kokiri | Federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. | 02:40 |

| lyj | Hello everyone | 02:41 |
| rinku_kokiri | so unless you have statutes thaat conflict with that... | 02:41 |
| lyj | My ubuntu 9.04 has no sound, anyone can help me? | 02:41 |
| blakkheim | lyj: no, because 9.04 is unsupported | 02:41 |
| Nahledge | I was installing aircrack-ng and told I have to add it to the PATH. what does that mean | 02:42 |
| lyj | The laptop become silent when I install ubuntu 9.04 | 02:42 |
| apporc | When I click the disk icon , the ntfs-disk is then automounted .But I am not satisfied with the options about that disk .How can change that myself | 02:42 |
| blakkheim | Nahledge: you shouldn't be using aircrack-ng if you don't know what $PATH is | 02:42 |
| rinku_kokiri | dougb_freebsd, and actually, michigan has an ALL PARTY law that a judge ruled invalid: one Michigan Court has ruled that a participant in a private conversation may record it without violating the statute because the statutory term "eavesdrop" refers only to overhearing or recording the private conversations of others. | 02:42 |
| Nahledge | I dont know what anything is. I only installed ubuntu to use it | 02:42 |
| blakkheim | lyj: you need to install a supported version such as 10.04 or 10.10 | 02:42 |
| Flannel | dougb_freebsd, rinku_kokiri: Please take this to #ubuntu-oftopic, thanks | 02:42 |
| dougb_freebsd | rinku_kokiri: seriously, way OT, and I'm done discussing it | 02:43 |
| Flannel | er, #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:43 |
| lyj | That was totally a disaster to install a new version.... | 02:43 |
| Nahledge | blakkheim: can you explain what it means to add to path brieefly. I plan on only using nix for aircrack-ng | 02:44 |
| fracasaurio | Hola | 02:44 |
| fracasaurio | Ubuntu no me monta el cd automaticamente | 02:44 |

| ubottu | fracasaurio, please see my private message | 02:44 |
| blackchook | #el-lnx ellnx | 02:44 |
| fracasaurio | sorry | 02:44 |
| lyj | 9.04 release with the sound can't work !! | 02:45 |
| blakkheim | lyj: i told you 9.04 is unsupported, no one here can help you with it | 02:45 |
| rinku_kokiri | so i think that gstreamer thing fixed my sound problem | 02:45 |
| rinku_kokiri | haven't had it disconnect on me since i uninstalled | 02:45 |
| lyj | why does it release then... | 02:46 |
| blakkheim | !9.04 | lyj | 02:46 |
| ubottu | lyj: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 02:46 |

| rinku_kokiri | wast3land, how's this... share the root of the drive | 02:49 |
| rinku_kokiri | then mount that | 02:49 |

| replicasex | say I wanted to try the latest kde out -- would installing and uninstalling the kubuntu-desktop be a very poor way to do this? | 02:51 |
| vdubhack | replicasex: No thats fine you can have multiple desktops I do for when gnome goes crazy | 02:51 |
| roasted | I also delete 3 emails from my evolution, hit refresh, AND THEY COME BACK. What in the world? | 02:51 |
| replicasex | vdubhack, I've been warned anecdotally by a few people for possible instability .. any merit to that? | 02:52 |
| rinku_kokiri | replicasex, is your drive corrupted? memory failing integrity checks? | 02:52 |
| vdubhack | replicasex: I havent yet seen that | 02:52 |
| replicasex | rinku_kokiri, no no just wanted to give kde a try -- i was going to use a vm but kubuntu wouldn't play with the gues installtions | 02:53 |
| Pavlz | 233 packages updated | 02:53 |
| vdubhack | replicasex: the ubuntu wikis even say you can have multiple desktops, though the one I use multiples on though I only use for basic uses and backup | 02:53 |

| tibman | yep... | 03:19 |
| zakwilson | tibman: I'm guessing the Windows installer puts a bootloader in the MBR, but not the partition, right? | 03:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | tibman, does booting into ubuntu and running "sudo update-grub2" find/correct your windows install? | 03:19 |

| Genieliu | atari2600a: sorry,i dont know how to add files to iso.Maybe you should ask somebody else | 03:46 |
| xangua | roasted: using pop¿ | 03:46 |
| roasted | imap, with gmail xangua | 03:46 |
| hesham | jayd3e: yes you can as long as the kernels are the same version, make sure you copy the firmware as well (/usr/lib/firmware or /lib/firmware) | 03:46 |
| jayd3e | hesham: how would I go about transfering the drivers? and exactly what directories would I have to transfer | 03:47 |
| xangua | roasted: then just drag them to the trash directory instead of deleting it using the evolution menu | 03:48 |
| roasted | xangua, is that a serious suggestion | 03:49 |
| BadAnthems | Around The World - Dune Greatest Hits (Utmost nice music) | 03:49 |
| hesham | jayd3e: you should transfer the kernel modules for the RT wlan, which driver are you using? the rt2860sta? | 03:49 |
| jayd3e | yah | 03:50 |
| hesham | then its the rt2860sta.ko file in /lib/modules/`uname -r` folder | 03:51 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Always copy | 03:51 |
| Nahledge | how do i find the mac address of an access point? | 03:51 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, always copy? | 03:51 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: You should not need to ask me that. | 03:51 |
| BadAnthems | Move along now | 03:51 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, well, I am. | 03:51 |
| Sickler | can someone tell me what the channel is for xbmc as all my plugins have errors when i run them | 03:51 |
| BadAnthems | :) | 03:51 |
| hesham | Nahledge: iwconfig | 03:51 |
| roasted | I'm sorry. Is this a support channel? | 03:52 |
| jayd3e | hasham: in this path /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers | 03:52 |
| Nahledge | its showing me my own wireless device... is there anyything i have to append to that? | 03:52 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Always copy important stuff before you remove it. To move means no inbetween storage mostly. | 03:53 |
| hesham | jayd3e: yes its somewhere in there, use "find -name rt*sta*" to find the exact location | 03:53 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, I'm not trying to copy anything. I jsut want my emails deleted when I select delete. I don't want them re-emailed to me 20 seconds after I intentionally delete them. | 03:53 |
| hesham | Nahledge: no, in the output there should be Access Point: xx:xx:xx... | 03:53 |
| genupulas | i wanna install "gaim" Im | 03:53 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: They are in your mailserver queu ? | 03:54 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, I use evolution at work, and I dont have this issue. I just decided to use evolution at home because I like the extra functionality but I can't seem to figure out why I just get my emails back that I delete. | 03:54 |
| BadAnthems | queue | 03:54 |
| genupulas | but it was replaced by pidgin how can i get "gaim" | 03:54 |
| hesham | genupulas: install pidgin its the new gaim | 03:54 |
| Nahledge | Okay let me rephrase this. The only thing I know how to find is the SSID (I think its called this) in this case its Anges1. | 03:54 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, well, I'm using gmail with imap. I don't have anything in my gmail web interface at the moment... | 03:54 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, not sure if that answers your question. | 03:54 |
| xangua | genupulas: pidgin is formelly gaim...... | 03:54 |
| Nahledge | Knowing nothing of linux, and starting at this point. | 03:54 |
| Nahledge | Where do i go from there | 03:54 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, however, it says I have 1 email in my inbox, yet when I click on inbox, it says empty. lol? | 03:54 |
| jayd3e | hashem: do i want the one in /net/wireless or in /staging? | 03:55 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Set your Evolution email client to not delete emails and somehow the database pulls what you already have maybe ? | 03:55 |
| hesham | Nahledge: maybe you should mention the main problem, are you trying to connect to a wireless network and having issues? | 03:55 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: From the pop server | 03:55 |
| hesham | jayd3e: /net/wireless | 03:55 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, by pop you mean imap? mine is set up as imap. | 03:55 |
| jayd3e | hashem: and also is that really the only driver I need, because I went through a whole process of installing a driver and it embedded a number of files in my system> | 03:55 |
| Nahledge | No I'm trying to figure out the mac address or any information on it in general. In order to use aircrack-ng | 03:55 |
| jayd3e | hashem: were all of those files only necessary to create that one file? | 03:56 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: you always have a pop/imap server | 03:56 |
| genupulas | xangua, when i am going to connect with gtalk it not getting connect and showing ssl error and connecting with other yahoo,msn etc only the problme with gtalk account | 03:56 |
| genupulas | xangua, username and paswd fine for that from me | 03:56 |
| hesham | Nahledge: oh, so you're not connected to it already, then use iwlist scan | 03:56 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Put and get. This is what email is about. Some also have push, but thats hardly good securitywise | 03:57 |
| genupulas | xangua, but when i deleted already added acnt and adding it again then it will for that session only | 03:57 |
| xangua | genupulas: no problems here using the latest pidgin 2.7.5 | 03:57 |
| genupulas | xangua, ok | 03:57 |
| genupulas | xangua, let me check my version | 03:58 |
| genupulas | its 2.7.3 | 03:58 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, hm, I see. I dont know, its just confusing me as to why this is happening. I dont have this with thunderbird on the same email acts.... | 03:59 |
| genupulas | xangua, is it possible update specific pkg | 03:59 |
| xangua | never had problems with that version either genupulas, you could try #pidgin but i don't think there are too many people alive at this hour | 03:59 |
| jayd3e | hashem: and also is that really the only driver I need, because I went through a whole process of installing a driver and it embedded a number of files in my system> | 03:59 |
| jayd3e | hashem: were all of those files only necessary to create that one file? | 03:59 |
| genupulas | let me xangua | 04:00 |
| xangua | genupulas: yes, you can update pidgin following the instructions at pidgin.im | 04:00 |
| hesham | jayd3e: most likely yes this is the only file you need. there should be no harm trying to load the module and checking the dmesg output, if anything else is required it would show you there | 04:00 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Same isp's in between the mailserver/pop server ? | 04:01 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, same everything. same dang computer. | 04:01 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, I can open thunderbird, works fine. same two gmail accts, imap, setup, etc. | 04:01 |
| icek | Can someone direct me to a good OSX theme? | 04:01 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, I mimiced the same setup to evolution when I began to adapt to it tonight | 04:01 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, but like I said I have this issue... | 04:01 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: You have forgotten something. What it is i cannot tell :) | 04:02 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, um.. | 04:02 |
| roasted | I'd be really, really happy if you'd tell me. | 04:02 |
| jayd3e | hashem: one more question, shouldn't the two installs be acting the same as far as my wireless goes? does the server install not have a module installed tht it needs? | 04:02 |
| roasted | seeing as though this is a support channel and I'm quite frustrated, to be completely honest with you. | 04:02 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Trust me, youve forgotten a tiny detail somewhere in your setup. Go over it again!. | 04:03 |
| hesham | jayd3e: rtsta module need compilation, it can't be included the default installation due to license issues | 04:03 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, Ive been over my setup about 40 times. | 04:03 |
| roasted | seriously... can you just give me an indication on what you are referring to. | 04:03 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Ah, a deadlock. Remove the new email client. Erase this email clients settings in your home directory: "ls -la" | 04:04 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, you think thunderbird's settings being existent (even though thunderbird isnt running) could result in that happening with evolution?? | 04:04 |
| jayd3e | hesham: right but I went through the same exact process to install rtsta module in my Ubuntu-Desktop install as I did with the server and yet somehow I got results on one and not the other. It is important to note, that on my Server Edition install, wlan0 never changed to ra0 after compilation; however it did on the Ubuntu-Desktop install | 04:05 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: No, the new email client's settings | 04:05 |
| CodeWar | while building the ubuntu kernel using instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ... doing make mrclean takes out the debian/ directory | 04:05 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, the "new" email client is evolution. You want me to wipe evolution's settings? | 04:05 |
| CodeWar | any idea whats the best way to bring it back | 04:05 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Yes, and evolution. Then install it and begin again. | 04:05 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, and evolution - you mean and thunderbird? :P | 04:06 |
| wrektjet | hello. is there a program that can tell me the wattage my comp is using? | 04:06 |
| mzuverink | nessus in any repos? | 04:06 |
| BadAnthems | roasted: Just evo. It should work, i trust you. | 04:06 |
| hesham | jayd3e: well it seems the built-in modules were not blacklisted, you tried rebooting the server? or if that's not possible then try modprobe -r (any old modules) and reload rtsta | 04:07 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, hm, thats strange because I JUST set up evolution... | 04:07 |
| roasted | BadAnthems, but Im trying with both tbird and evo removed, then setting up evo again. | 04:07 |

| Briceman | rww: Right! ? | 04:41 |
| c3l | phananh: using ssh throuhg putty or cygwin or similar works, but you might be looking for a more native solution | 04:41 |
| roasted | poohstix, I don't think it's a NEW email, I think it's the old email due to the time stamps being the same. | 04:41 |
| poohstix | roasted: How are you deleting, then? | 04:41 |
| roasted | poohstix, I select them and hit delete, or I right click them and select delete message - both do the same thing. | 04:42 |

| rotrot | starn: me too. i simply paste the url in the pls to the commandline. works | 04:58 |
| MagusOTB_ | You can start it from the cli... Are you talking about like framebuffer CLI? | 04:58 |

| starn | MagusOTB_: yes i mean as in no Xserver. command line interface like moc and mplayer. and few others. | 05:03 |
| Chaos2358 | hey guys i just upgraded through update manager from 10.04 to 10.10 and cant find software sources among many other small problems can anyone work with me to try and resolve a few? | 05:04 |

| MagusOTB_ | starn: no. but if you're manly enough to be using framebuffer movie players, can't you use sed to convert a pls file into a shell script that will invoke several mplayer instances in sequence? | 05:04 |
| hesham | roasted: you are not running any other client at the same time? mobile client, another computer etc? | 05:04 |
| roasted | hesham, nope. :( | 05:04 |

| taofd | snarkster, do you actually use it for production work? i feel that the way layers are organized and some of the other UI features is kind of awkward :( | 05:05 |
| starn | MagusOTB_: i'm just getting into this CLI stuff and i'm loving it so far. | 05:05 |
| hesham | roasted: you see when you delete IMAP messages in evo it doesn't remove them just marks them for deletion, and finally deleted when you empty trash. it seems some other client is unmarking them in the meantime | 05:05 |
| rww | maco: your pastry hat's showing | 05:05 |
| maco | taofd: um im not professional, but MyPaint is *excellent* -- if you have a tablet. i do brush calligraphy with it, but its got watercolour and oil simulations as well | 05:05 |
| maco | rww: oh right i was gonna remove some old +q's | 05:05 |
| roasted | hesham, what if I switch from imap to pop? | 05:05 |
| taofd | maco, okay i'll take a look at it | 05:05 |
| snarkster | taofd: actually my artist friend who is sitting on the couch across from me uses it daily.. I turned him onto ubuntu and he hasnt looked back | 05:05 |
| hesham | roasted: it should delete directly from the server when using POP | 05:06 |
| === zipp0 is now known as zipchick | ||
| roasted | hesham, so if I switch to pop, technically the issue would be sorta resolved. right? | 05:06 |
| hesham | roasted: yes | 05:06 |
| roasted | hesham, the only downside is, if I leave my client open, I cant hit my inbox with messages that evo would have already intercepted. right? | 05:06 |
| poohstix | roasted: careful -- pop has a subset of the features of imap. You might be disappointed. | 05:07 |
| maco | roasted: right | 05:07 |
| snarkster | taofd: there is a learning curve but it is free | 05:07 |
| roasted | poohstix, I really dont see what "features" I would be missing out on. I just want my email to send/receive/delete :P | 05:07 |
| poohstix | roasted: :-) Got it. | 05:07 |
| maco | roasted: you should be able to set which dir to use for Trash, no? | 05:07 |
| roasted | maco, I think so... I think I saw that option... let me check quick. | 05:08 |
| hesham | roasted: you will not be able to use server side folders with POP, only Inbox, no sent items etc. | 05:08 |
| maco | roasted: then set it to use your webmail's Trash dir, so it moves deleted messages there, that way when you empty trash on webmail or expunge in evolution, itll be the same thing | 05:08 |
| snarkster | taofd: can we talk private for a sec.. I wanna send you a link to my friends deviant art page. | 05:08 |
| taofd | snarkster, sure thx | 05:08 |
| roasted | maco, ehh I have a thing here for drafts and sent, but not trash. ehh. | 05:08 |
| maco | roasted: oh boo. i wonder if that was why i switched to KMail... | 05:08 |
| poohstix | roasted: Which provider? | 05:09 |
| roasted | maco, I really, really like evolution. I just. want. to. delete. my. email. :( | 05:09 |
| roasted | maco, I dont have this problem with evo at work, and I use imap at work... | 05:09 |
| roasted | poohstix, comcast is my ISP, gmail is the email I'm using. | 05:09 |
| dougb_freebsd | So on my network issues, the network manager icon is showing in the upper right of my screen, but it says it's not running | 05:09 |
| maco | roasted: the "expunge" option (ctrl+e iirc) should force the delete...but if its using a local trash instead of remote im not sure how well thatd work | 05:10 |
| dougb_freebsd | and the app is enabled in the startup list | 05:10 |
| roasted | maco, hm, do you know how to tell which one its deleting to? | 05:10 |
| dougb_freebsd | In order to get this connection to autostart again I had to edit /etc/network/interfaces | 05:10 |
| maco | *sigh* i think this is telling me what the next patch i should write is... make-evo-trash-configurable.patch | 05:10 |
| maco | roasted: well if theres no config optino for what dir to use as trash, then it only has a local one :-/ | 05:10 |
| rww | switch-all-ubuntu-users-to-mutt.patch | 05:11 |
| poohstix | roasted: (Sorry for following -- not a gmail user) So you're using IMAP to gmail, which is fetching mail from comcast? Rather than accessing comcast imap directly? | 05:11 |
| roasted | maco, why isnt this an issue for me at work then? Granted Im using exchange and not gmail, but I'm still using imap... | 05:11 |
| hesham | roasted: gmail delete does not work with evo | 05:11 |
| roasted | hesham, whaaaaaat. | 05:11 |
| hesham | roasted: http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/gmail-with-evolution-and-trash-bin-how.html | 05:11 |
| dougb_freebsd | gmail's implementation of imap does not follow the specs | 05:12 |
| roasted | so maybe Ill just use pop | 05:13 |
| maco | yeah, that was *definitely* why i went to KMail... | 05:13 |
| maco | cuz i'm a gmail user | 05:13 |
| roasted | I only used imap cuz I was told to use it | 05:13 |
| roasted | maco, so kmail handles the gmail thing better? | 05:13 |
| maco | yes | 05:13 |
| roasted | maco, that whole K thing scares me tho... | 05:13 |
| dougb_freebsd | personally I'm quite fond of tbird 3, it's what tbird was trying to be all along | 05:13 |
| hesham | roasted: i guess its better to switch to thunderbird/kmail/zimbra desktop instead of evo+pop | 05:13 |
| maco | you tell it "use [GMail]/Trash as trash" and then it *does* and everything is lovely | 05:13 |
| roasted | I've tried KDE so many times and been let down... well... every single time... | 05:13 |
| maco | roasted: you can use kde apps within gnome :P amarok is very popular! | 05:14 |
| rww | maco: mail clients doing what you want? what is this heresy | 05:14 |
| roasted | dougb_freebsd, I like tbird a lot, but I want a calendar integrated with my client - and dont even bring up the lightning extension... many headaches there. | 05:14 |
| maco | and when you reach the point of "this gnome app doesnt have the configuration option i want" ... well, thats the point where kde apps start looking good ;-) | 05:14 |
| roasted | maco, yeahhhh I know. I just try to stay as gnome-pure as possible. come to think of it that sounds kind of stupid, but hey.. is what it is :P | 05:14 |
| maco | roasted: i used to do the same because qt3 was ugly and didnt know how to match theme with the gnome desktop. qt4 can look native though | 05:15 |
| roasted | hesham, this link is also from 2009 ya know... I wonder if theres been a patch? Then again, if it still aint working, I guess not :P | 05:15 |
| roasted | maco, yeah.. I dont know.. gnome looks normal and presentable to me. I just dont like anything at all about kde apps or kde in general. font choices, size, etc, its all off to me. | 05:15 |
| hesham | roasted: i don't think there is a patch, if there is you would see the option to selece the trash folder alongside sent items and drafts in your evo settings | 05:16 |
| roasted | if I go with pop with gmail, what EXACTLY would I be missing out on? | 05:16 |
| maco | there isnt a patch | 05:16 |
| maco | i was just saying i probably ought to write one | 05:16 |
| hesham | roasted: POP has no folder support, no support to save sent items or drafts on server | 05:16 |
| === gantry is now known as gantrixx | ||
| poohstix | roasted: iirc, IMAP pulls down headers without needing to pull down mail body. With POP it's all or nothing. | 05:17 |
| roasted | hesham, wait, did you read the last entry on that link? | 05:17 |
| poohstix | roasted: aha! | 05:17 |
| dougb_freebsd | I'm running 10.10, and the version of grub2 that's installed has a regression. I'd like to downgrade grub2 to the version that was in 10.04, how can I do that? | 05:17 |

| roasted | they came back anyway | 05:18 |
| roasted | seriously. how has this bug lasted this long in evo. | 05:18 |
| hesham | roasted: its not an evo bug, its a gmail issue, gmail does not adhere to IMAP specifications | 05:19 |
| gantrixx | A weird thing happened when I rebooted. It didn't boot up into gdm | 05:19 |
| roasted | hesham, oh. so how can kmail get away with it? | 05:19 |
| gbear14275 | hey guys, I just extended the root lv of a headless machine I have but when I run df it doesn't seem to reflect the new room. Did I do something wrong? | 05:19 |
| gantrixx | Is there a way to start the GDM/GNOME environment by the command line? | 05:19 |
| maco | poohstix: there's also dimap. i <3 dimap. it pulls everything down and caches locally so you have a copy like with pop, but it has all the nice folder support and everything. perfect mirroring of webmail and local maile. | 05:19 |
| roasted | poohstix, whats the downside of "all or nothing?" | 05:19 |
| maco | 05:19 | |
| hesham | roasted: other clients have created workarounds for such issues, but again not in accordance with IMAP specs | 05:19 |
| and | d.net | 05:19 |
| maco | roasted: kmail gets away with it by having an option to pick a different dir to use as trash | 05:20 |
| Guest39599 | I would like to stop the "extra" folders being created when creating a new user (in /home/newuser/ directory). Does anyone know where I should be looking? (it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the skel dir...) | 05:20 |
| roasted | maco, ahh... | 05:20 |
| roasted | hesham, what is IMAP+ | 05:20 |
| poohstix | roasted: main downside is bandwidth. If you've got lots, no downside. I still live in a 2400 baud world in my tiny little brain, sometimes. | 05:20 |

| cryptodira | hello.... has anyone solved the backlit keyboard failure at bootup for amd64 in 10.04 on a toshiba satellite?? | 05:29 |
| dougb_freebsd | I'm running 10.10, and the version of grub2 that's installed has a regression. I'd like to downgrade grub2 to the version that was in 10.04, how can I do that? | 05:29 |
| hesham | gbear14275: :) | 05:30 |
| xangua | and manually import the jey Chaos2358 pff i am just to lazy to do all that; so i preffer to use the add-apt comand | 05:30 |
| xangua | manually import the KEY* | 05:30 |
| hesham | dougb_freebsd: 10.04 has grub2 AFAIK | 05:31 |
| Chaos2358 | xangua ok i am confused here. there used to be "software sources" in system>admin in 10.04 10.10 doesnt have. i understrand how to do the add-apt but it helps to know what i already have | 05:31 |
| dougb_freebsd | yes, but it's a different version of grub2 | 05:31 |
| xangua | Chaos2358: edit the menu and mark it | 05:31 |
| hesham | dougb_freebsd: sorry didn't get the question at first | 05:31 |
| dougb_freebsd | hesham: no one seems to :) | 05:31 |
| Chaos2358 | xangua didnt see it | 05:31 |
| xangua | Chaos2358: you can also acces to it from the software center and synaptic | 05:31 |
| Chaos2358 | system>pref>main menu correct to gelect? it isnt there | 05:32 |
| roasted | hesham, do you know with pop and gmail if theres a way to have TWO separate inboxes for each of my accts? I just set them up to evo with pop and I have 1 inbox :( | 05:32 |
| hesham | dougb_freebsd: well as grub usually doesn't have many dependencies, i guess a download and dpkg -i of the old grub deb package should do the trick, i would keep a recovery cd handy though | 05:32 |
| dougb_freebsd | hesham: already have that one :0 | 05:33 |
| akshu1 | ubuntu 10.10 does wine has almost all support , because i am getting error as fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) | 05:33 |
| hesham | roasted: pop downloads email to local inbox only | 05:33 |
| dougb_freebsd | hesham: what you're saying makes sense, but what I need help with is A) determining the version I'm looking for, B) finding it, and C) the proper dpkg commands ... I'm new to linux :) | 05:33 |
| roasted | hesham, I understand that. I just want two inboxes for each of my accounts. I had this in thunderbird... | 05:33 |
| xangua | Chaos2358: when i said edit the menu, i mean to say EDIT the menu (right clic> edit) and search it in the administration section, enable it | 05:34 |
| hesham | akshu1: wine is a work in progress | 05:34 |
| dougb_freebsd | roasted: so use thunderbird :) | 05:34 |
| dougb_freebsd | oh wait .. | 05:34 |
| hesham | dougb_freebsd: the version in 10.04 is 1.98-1ubuntu8 | 05:34 |
| collabra | poohstix, I'm really trying to infer why you would want me to man resolv.conf,.... any insight you could give me would be appreciated. | 05:34 |
| roasted | dougb_freebsd, I'd love to. if their lightning extension didnt suck. | 05:34 |
| Chaos2358 | xangua ok that does the same as system>prefs>main menu and it isnt there. | 05:34 |
| hesham | dougb_freebsd: and you can get it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 05:34 |
| akshu1 | hesham, after googling i saw many pepole gets error as ActieX cant create a object | 05:34 |
| akshu1 | runtime error | 05:34 |
| hesham | akshu1: wine is a work in progress, it does not run all windows software, you can get better help in #wine | 05:35 |
| collabra | poohstix, You have me essentially clueless at the moment. | 05:36 |
| poohstix | collabra: There are probably more "modern" ways to do it, but entering a line "nameserver 1.2.3.4" (where 1.2.3.4 is your dns server IP) should universally update DNS resolution. | 05:36 |
| Chaos2358 | xangua nvm i got it | 05:36 |
| Chaos2358 | xangua sorry its late and my eyes are on strike | 05:36 |
| akshu1 | hesham, on #winehq no response nothing is going there | 05:36 |
| baphomet | can anyone help me solve an issue i am having with UNE? | 05:37 |
| Tweedle | i cant get my sound to work in stereo | 05:37 |
| collabra | poohstix, okay,... do i have a problem resolving DNS updates? | 05:37 |
| hesham | akshu1: well then try at a later time, or post a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org/ | 05:37 |
| baphomet | i can duplicate the issue on my other laptop running ubuntu desktop | 05:38 |
| collabra | poohstix, or did you mistake me with someone else? | 05:38 |
| hesham | !ask > baphomet | 05:38 |
| ubottu | baphomet, please see my private message | 05:38 |
| poohstix | collabra: I probably goofed. Sorry -- first day with xchat. | 05:39 |
| collabra | np,... and no worries poohstix | 05:39 |
| dougb_freebsd | hesham: ok, I've downloaded the files ... now how do I use dpkg to delete the newer version of grub and then install the ones I downloaded? | 05:39 |
| collabra | poohstix, :) | 05:39 |
| hesham | dougb_freebsd: dpkg -i filename.deb | 05:40 |

| ramas | ok here it is | 06:07 |
| ramas | I dont know why it doesnt seem to be an issue with dns resolution | 06:07 |

| sunit | yes, I can , hesham. | 06:27 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: flash and firefox doesn't work correctly and you might have the 32 bit plugin and 64 bit plugin (flash) both installed at the same time. removing the 32 bit plugin did NOT resolve the issue with firefox. | 06:27 |
| ramas | blue1: Ok will do, I think Ive tried, Im actually writing from the lap itself it works pretty fine is just this issue, and I could live with it... the thing that made me mad was when I opened an account at livestream | 06:27 |

| aaron11 | dw-, ive been asking this 4 hours | 06:28 |
| sunit | hesham , so I need to add differnt jar file to run as services | 06:29 |
| Blue1 | ramas: afaik no open ticket - this did NOT resolve the issue, but it;s def. a problem | 06:29 |
| hesham | sunit: you can run as many jar files as you want on startup by adding them to /etc/rc.local | 06:29 |
| ramas | blue1: afaik??? | 06:29 |
| Blue1 | ramas: as far as I know | 06:30 |
| dw- | aaron11: maybe this will help http://google.com/search?q=netbeans+install+modules | 06:30 |
| hanasaki | Blue1: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 File: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so | 06:30 |
| dw- | aaron11: searching is the best skill | 06:30 |
| sunit | hesham , How shall I add jar file to /etc/rc.local ? | 06:30 |
| dw- | aaron11: that and thinking :p | 06:30 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: yeah that's the 32 bit guy | 06:30 |
| nicark | sad | 06:31 |
| hesham | sunit: no need to add the jar file, just add the line java -jar /path to your jar file | 06:31 |
| dw- | aaron11: g/l bro | 06:31 |
| nicark | qwerty | 06:31 |
| ramas | blue1: oooh no open ticket where? in bugs in ubuntu? I opened 2 tickets at livestream, they stopped at me having a firewall and all and they couldnt give any answer. | 06:31 |
| hanasaki | Blue1: then umm ubuntu installed what it shouldn't? | 06:31 |
| sunit | yes, I understand , hesham. | 06:31 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: well - -no. ubuntu refuses to use an alpha or beta anything even though the 64 bit alpha is WAY more stable then ther blessed 32 bit plugin. But ubuntu use the 32 bit flash plugin in a 64 bit environment -- it works crappily. | 06:32 |
| sunit | but , hesham , should I add all the path of jar file to rc.local ? | 06:32 |
| hesham | sunit: yes | 06:33 |
| hanasaki | Blue1: hmm would think what you say would be reaosn enough to package something more stable | 06:33 |
| hanasaki | Blue1: I am getting the same issue even with flash uninstalled | 06:33 |
| sunit | ok, and all the jar will run as service . I am correct , hesham ? | 06:33 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: blame mark shuttleworth - owner/ceo of ubuntu | 06:33 |
| hanasaki | lol | 06:34 |
| hesham | Blue1: there is no more a 64-bit flash player from adobe | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: yup you will - firefox just don't work for crap on a 64 bit system flash or no flash - again no issues with chrome or opera | 06:34 |
| hesham | sunit: well they will just start on system boot | 06:34 |
| xangua | there is a ppa for the new experimental 64bit plugin hesham Blue1 https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash | 06:34 |
| hanasaki | Blue1: funny thing is that firefox and flash are not running. and still the issue | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | xangua: I am using the beta flashplugin works fine - just not with firefox | 06:35 |

| fermulator | has anyone experienced slow transfer rates when transferring via "rsync" over samba mounts? | 06:36 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: will it's not stable in ubuntu on a 64 bit platform - it works peachy on a 32 bit system though | 06:36 |
| fermulator | I have a file server. From my desktop, if I browse via GUI to smb://servername, and copy/paste, i'll get 12Mbps easy (max for 100Mbps NIC) | 06:36 |
| fermulator | also, i have the samba share mounted in /mnt/myserver, same speeds there | 06:36 |
| hanasaki | thanks Blue1 | 06:36 |
| DimaV | xangua: sorry, i copied in the wrong spot | 06:36 |
| fermulator | but if i use rsync to copy over that samba mount, it's really slow ... < 3MB/s.... | 06:36 |
| hanasaki | later all | 06:36 |
| DimaV | xangua: what i tried was 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa | 06:36 |
| fermulator | using a command like: "rsync -avhEA --progress --delete --include-from=~/scripts/sync_files.list /mnt/myserver/share/* /mnt/storage/destDir" | 06:36 |

| vgold | hi DL | 06:40 |
| ubuntu_lols | well i sure dont recall doing so, unless it is done by default? | 06:41 |
| ubuntu_lols | i remember in the netbook edition of 10.10 it asked if i wanted encrypted | 06:41 |
| ben_q | the install setup would've asked you | 06:41 |
| vgold | ubuntu_lols can you explain this little problem in ubuntu for me? | 06:41 |
| === IllminatOFF is now known as Illuminatus | ||

| coconutz | no | 06:44 |
| coconutz | how i do that? | 06:45 |

| vgold | what do you need? | 06:49 |
| vgold | ramas can you talk now? | 06:49 |
| ramas | vgold: Issue with a vostro v13 and weird annoying disconnections while using livestream media, seem to be related to ipv6 or something although I have disabled it from several howtos | 06:50 |
| hesham | ramas: are you using wired or wireless? can you run some tests like tracepath -n www.google.com | 06:50 |
| ramas | vgold: running lucid, but it started happening on karmic, vostro came preloaded with jaunty in it didnt have any issues | 06:50 |
| vgold | what error does the disconnection gives? | 06:51 |
| ramas | hesham: It exhibits the SAME behaviour either by wireless or wired, everywhere, not only my router | 06:51 |
| ramas | vgold: on livestream no error, thats what has made it really difficult to fix, it just says disconnected in the chats, the streams, NEVER start and in the webcaster or livestudio app in flash I never pass from the authenticating please wait message | 06:52 |
| vgold | Yes, you re right, I get tired of this kind of problem with ubuntu, also here to get a solution but tht kind of yours is something tht will need some little more attention | 06:52 |
| vgold | okay, do this, try to apt-get update it and lets see what message it will pop up with | 06:53 |
| ramas | vgold: I think is related to the fact that if I open a ssh, ftp or other service connection it takes some 22 secs to open the connection, from there it works fine no issues | 06:53 |
| ramas | vgold: my system is up 2 date u want me to try anyway? | 06:53 |
| vgold | well, if it work on port 22 you shouldn't border about it anymore then. Go ahead and use it | 06:54 |
| vgold | just to give it a try | 06:54 |
| ramas | vgold: just did it fetched all in 11secs ... Reading package lists... done | 06:54 |
| vgold | I do that sometimes | 06:54 |
| ramas | vgold:I have an open window of chrome on livestream, no luck the chat tries to connect then it goes to disconnected, the stream never starts | 06:55 |
| ramas | vgold: I could live with this, all else works flawlessly is just that due to my job we opened a livestream account and Is irritating to be unable to admin or see the streams from my main laptop | 06:56 |
| karthick87 | how to run bash script simply by double clicking it | 06:56 |
| vgold | the problem is with the chat, try maybe you can update the chat it self separately or look for it in the directory if you can | 06:56 |
| ramas | vgold: any more ideas? when the lap is freshly installed I had to disable.ipv6 resolution on firefox because it was taking eons for each link, chrome didnt need anything but both exhinbit the livestream issue, dont know if it is related | 06:57 |
| vgold | can you talk with me from yahoo instant messenger, I can sort this problem for you nightly? | 06:58 |

| b14ck | Hi guys. I have a simple question. I've got ubuntu-one synced with two computers right now (using 10.10). However, I just realized that on my primary system ubuntu-one isn't syncing my files any longer. It says that it is when I go to system->prefs->ubuntuone, but it won't sync them and I see no indication that it is when I'm in my file manager looking at my folders. Any idea if this is a bug or if I've somehow messed it up? | 07:46 |
| Ceaze | airtonix, OK | 07:47 |
| === cong061 is now known as cong06 | ||
| OsamaK | cyrux, if someone knows the answer, they probably will try to help you. | 07:47 |
| Ceaze | airtonix, I tried Ubuntu but it has many errors, and I am fed up of them | 07:47 |
| Ceaze | airtonix, I think version 10.04 is better than maverick 10.10 | 07:47 |
| airtonix | Ceaze, the only difference between what you call a "version" (which is actually called a flavour".... is the desktop environment... (and you can have all the Desktop Environments install on the same computer) | 07:47 |
| b14ck | I also realized that when I right-click folders in my home folder, I no longer have the 'synchronize with ubuntuone' optino. | 07:48 |
| b14ck | It disappeared from my right-click menu all together. | 07:48 |
| cong06 | I'm trying to collect data from a whiptail radiobutton. How do I set a variable? Which variable is being set? I know the data goes to STDERR, but enclosing the command: v=`whiptail --radiobutton ...` doesn't work. | 07:48 |
| cyrux | ok .. here is the deal , i have a wubi partition on my windows machine. i was getting low on space , so i decided to increase the partition using a shell script. | 07:48 |
| Ceaze | airtonix, 10.04 and 10.10 has same desktop environment I think?? | 07:48 |
| airtonix | Ceaze, if it is Ubuntu then yes. | 07:48 |

| dvaske | hi i'm having problems with scp command, when running it in verbose mode I can see it issues the command: command scp -v -r -t -- , but those last to dashes confuses the receiving server, how can I configure those? | 08:57 |
| histo | paranoid_ndroid: wifi is slow | 08:57 |
| histo | dvaske: what's with the last two dashes? | 08:57 |
| === devil__ is now known as Mohan_chml | ||
| dvaske | histo, I dont know where they are comming from, support guys just said that it was them that was confusing their server | 08:59 |
| histo | dvaske: do you have them in your command? | 09:01 |
| histo | dvaske: get rid of the -t | 09:01 |
| dvaske | no the command I type in is: "scp -r -v * asolsson@server:/path/to/" | 09:02 |
| paranoid_ndroid | histo it should be 54Mbps | 09:02 |
| histo | paranoid_ndroid: yeah what sort of speeds are you getting? | 09:03 |
| histo | dvaske: that's odd. You could try it the other way and ssee what hapens | 09:03 |
| histo | dvaske: ex: log in the remote machine and request the file from your machine. | 09:03 |
| paranoid_ndroid | less than 1Mbps | 09:04 |
| dvaske | histo, I'll try, but I'm not sure I can log in on remote machine | 09:04 |
| histo | dvaske: you have to be able to push files to it | 09:05 |
| histo | dvaske: ssh needs to be installed on asolssson@server <<< otherwise you can't copy files that way | 09:06 |
| OerHeks | !resetpanels | 09:06 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 09:06 |
| dvaske | histo, yeah, but I think they have closed the login | 09:07 |
| dvaske | histo, and I'm able to scp the files i need from another internal server in our company, just not from my laptop, and the only difference seems to be those two dashes in the scp command | 09:08 |
| dvaske | histo, So I just tried the channel to see if anybody perhaps had a quick answer ;-) | 09:08 |
| histo | dvaske: but their saying the 2 dashes are there you're not putting them in right? | 09:09 |
| histo | dvaske: and I don't know how'd they block ssh but allow scp | 09:09 |
| OerHeks | :-) | 09:09 |
| histo | dvaske: nvm that can be done. Try sftp maybe for the time being | 09:09 |
| dvaske | histo, right, I'm not putting the two dashes, but they appear in the output when running with -v. | 09:10 |
| histo | dvaske: I don't know that's wierd I would try sftp see if you can get in that way | 09:10 |
| dvaske | histo, I dont know how they've closen ssh access either, but I'll give sftp a try - thanks for your help! | 09:11 |
| histo | dvaske: I can confirm that scp works so it's some sort of problem with their setup not ubuntu or scp | 09:11 |
| dvaske | histo, yea' I can also push the files to some other server, with scp, and from that push them again to the correct location, but pretty cumbersome... | 09:13 |
| OerHeks | !resetpanels | 09:14 |
| histo | dvaske: yeah then I would suspect the problem is the with the config of the server you are having the issue with. | 09:14 |

| shashwat | Is there any alternative to Adobe Flash Professional? | 09:21 |
| shomon | if you mean for creating flash, there are loads of programming libraries that do this, shashwat | 09:22 |
| shomon | or you could use SVG or silverlight/moonlight I guess | 09:22 |
| tavasti | anybody having suggestions for firewall. Environment is OpenVZ virtual machine, and shorewall or arno-iptables-firewall don't work | 09:22 |
| shashwat | shomon can you tell me a few | 09:22 |
| histo | !firewall | tavasti | 09:23 |
| ubottu | tavasti: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 09:23 |
| shomon | main one was in php a few years ago. I've never used it, so a web search of "php flash library" | 09:23 |
| Jonathan_ | So, histo, is it still possible to download the package NIS? :I | 09:23 |
| shomon | might be good, or change php for whatever language you prefer | 09:23 |
| tavasti | histo, ok, thanks, I'll try that | 09:23 |
| histo | !info nis | Jonathan_ | 09:23 |
| ubottu | Jonathan_: nis (source: nis): clients and daemons for the Network Information Service (NIS). In component universe, is extra. Version 3.17-31 (maverick), package size 191 kB, installed size 796 kB | 09:23 |
| histo | Jonathan_: yes it's in universe make sure that is enabled | 09:24 |
| Axsuul | omg how long does it take for sudo do-release-upgrade | 09:24 |
| histo | Axsuul: if you are upgrading versions you can expect to download about 600+MB | 09:24 |
| shomon | I used a cool svg/javascript library that did some cool animations, but it depends what you want to do really. html5 shows video, as does silverlight, and svg does vector animation and graphics... | 09:24 |
| shomon | raphaeljs.com/ is the link for that last one. | 09:25 |

| nicola_pav | hello. I am looking for a tftp client on ubuntu | 09:26 |
| chouchou | I can't see that option in eclipse | 09:26 |

| shomon | anjuta is a good one, chouchou | 09:27 |
| nicola_pav | is there a way to do that? | 09:27 |
| chouchou | I have bluefish installed but can't see the coding aspect | 09:27 |
| chouchou | shomon, hehe, who is anjuta ? | 09:27 |
| chouchou | what is the url ? | 09:27 |
| shomon | but I just use gedit, vim and gftp or filezillla... | 09:27 |
| shomon | ah, google is your friend... but you can just install it from ubuntu too... | 09:27 |

| dw- | logicpath: if you read the site it says dont do it | 11:42 |
| logicpath | in a way that it would replace the old one, but keep my data in place, is this possible? | 11:42 |
| logicpath | dw-: ah, okay hmmm | 11:42 |
| dw- | logicpath: it says do each update individually | 11:42 |
| Eventyret | logicpath: you want to update or just test 10.10 ? | 11:42 |
| root | fdsg | 11:43 |
| logicpath | oh, yes i read that, that i shouldn't jump upgrades. but no I mean i already have ubuntu 10.10 on a cd right now, can't i install it on top of the one i have installed now? (ubuntu 9.04) | 11:43 |
| h_2_2121 | BlaDe^, That's weird, I guess you could try looking at rhythmbox log files | 11:43 |
| dw- | if you wanted to overwrite it it would leave a bunch of unncessary crap | 11:44 |

| steal | jrib, I have create the user with the commandline adduser! it is a system user because he can't login he is a database user | 12:09 |
| Travis-42 | greppy: cron won't use my user's information? that might be the problem then | 12:09 |

| histo | !anyone | sirlark | 12:46 |
| ubottu | sirlark: 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? | 12:46 |
| benpowers23 | incarus, i used your cmd, but it did nothing | 12:46 |
| greppy | Goldline: actually, it sounds more like your question is general network related, please see my PM. | 12:46 |
| izinucs | tphive: I was wondering about the setup.. nice to know. | 12:46 |
| Incarus | benpower23, whats your username= | 12:46 |
| Incarus | ? | 12:46 |
| benpowers23 | ben | 12:46 |
| paolob | Hi guys! since maverick I cannot change the wallpaper any more. Whatever image I select in the background properties, the wallpaper doesn't change. Any hint? thank you! | 12:46 |
| benpowers23 | incarus, ben | 12:47 |
| Incarus | benpower23, so type "ps -u root" and look for "dpkg" or something smiliar and kill that process with "sudo kill NUMBER" | 12:47 |
| tphive | izinucs: a handy function, that 'theoretically' works. lol Nothing successful here yet though. | 12:47 |
| sirlark | histo: I've got a server; tftpf, nfs-server, dnsmasq all running. My client machine boots off PXE, loads the initramfs, but can't mount the NFS root because it can't find eth0. | 12:47 |
| sirlark | I've added the appropriate network card modules to the modules list for the initramfs | 12:48 |

| tphive | the full DVD download of Ubuntu, what does that include that the smaller CD sized versions don't? IT is just languages? | 12:50 |

| tphive | jrib: any idea if it has functional OEM features that the others for some reason don't? | 12:51 |
| 36DAARLV5 | so, the new adobe flash plugin that came today (10.1.102.64-1) crashes in fullscreen in FireFox (3.6.12)on hardy (8.04.4 lts). any ideas ? or should i just try to install an older flash until they decide to actually test it ? | 12:51 |
| hvipen | iknow - tried firestarter and guarddog - doesn't meet my needs | 12:51 |
| jrib | tphive: I don't know. You tried the alternate cd? | 12:51 |

| jrib | ozfalcon: using passwords? | 12:52 |
| Incarus | tphive, you should choose "Innstall Ubuntu" and then "OEM-Installation" | 12:52 |
| tphive | jrib: I did, :( No luck there either. Tried UNE, Desktop, and Alt so far. | 12:52 |

| tphive | Thanks for the help guys, haven't quite solved the issue yet, but I'll come back to it later. | 13:04 |
| FlyOnZeWall | yoshie, should be fine, I'm using a brand new nvidia card and I've had no trouble at all | 13:04 |
| Incarus | tphive, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/oem-config | 13:04 |
| mrnelson1986 | yoshie, i have a nvidia GT 330M and it takes some finagling but by using the "nomodeset" option you can get a GUI to show and finish your install until you can install the proprietary nvidia drivers...nouveau does not work on the 200-300M series I think | 13:04 |
| Aijse | karthick87, sorry suposed to be karthick87 | 13:04 |
| yoshie | Flyonzewall: ok but is that the gt 240 ? | 13:04 |
| Aijse | karthick87, ps aux|grep thunderbird | 13:05 |
| Incarus | yoshie, installation in low graphic mode should work, because it doens't use the nvidia driver / (nouveau?) | 13:05 |
| Incarus | doesn't.. | 13:05 |
| benpowers23 | incarus, i killed em all but dpkg refuses to die | 13:05 |
| yoshie | Incarus: ok so whats the command for low graphics? | 13:06 |
| karthick87 | which is the process no here "karthick 3221 0.0 0.0 3320 800 pts/0 S+ 06:36 0:00 grep --color=auto thunderbird | 13:06 |
| mrnelson1986 | yoshie, nomodeset added to the boot line of the live cd will let you set up and install, also adding nomodeset to the boot line of the actual installation will let you get to a gui | 13:06 |
| karthick87 | " | 13:06 |
| Incarus | benpowers23, pls paste again (new paste ;) ) | 13:06 |
| mrnelson1986 | nomodeset is the command (added to the quiet splash line of the boot line) yoshie | 13:06 |
| Incarus | yoshie, I think you can choose that when booting the cd | 13:06 |
| mrnelson1986 | yoshie, also you may be able to do it by hitting F6 and choosing nomodeset | 13:07 |
| FlyOnZeWall | is there some channel regarding tablet pc issues and ubuntu? | 13:07 |

| hvipen | iknow but im stuck | 13:09 |
| Aijse | karthick87, Than there are no processes running that belong to thunderbird. THe one you found now was the proces of the grep command I told you to use. I dont know howcome it acts like there is a window open in this case | 13:09 |
| tphive | Incarus mkay, best lead so far, thanks | 13:09 |
| Incarus | benpowers23, "sudo killall -s TERM dpkg" and "sudo killall -s KILL dpkg", should work. | 13:09 |

| Incarus | brad, I would recommend VirtualBox too. | 13:12 |
| brad | virtualbox it is then, thanks guys :-) | 13:12 |
| Aijse | karthick87, Ask again, include the fact you found no proces of thunderbird running and restarting didnt fix it. I dont understand whas wrong | 13:13 |

| ZykoticK9 | brad, if you want it for a server install, then perhaps VMware or KVM might be better actually.... good luck man (VirtualBox doesn't have an "easy" way to start VMs on boot, and I believe that VMware or KVM does) | 13:14 |
| brad | ahh, thanks ZykoticK9 | 13:15 |
| kephu | hi | 13:15 |
| rooks | brad, theres normal headless vm support of vm | 13:15 |
| rooks | brad, in virtualbox | 13:16 |
| ozfalcon | I have created a new user on a headless server. But can't login as new user. Auth.log says PAM: user unknown.... how do I fix this? | 13:16 |
| rooks | brad, i forgot its name, but its there, vboxremote or sth like that | 13:16 |
| histo | ozfalcon: did you give the newuser a passwd and assign them any groups? | 13:16 |
| kephu | can anyone tell me how do I keep grub from pausing to mince my cdrom every time I boot? I mean, it's not like it does anything with it, there's no menu.lst items that tell it to "hey do something with the cdrom drive okay awesome" | 13:16 |
| brad | rooks: thanks, will look at both | 13:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | ozfalcon, you can verify the user exists or doesn't by using "cat /etc/password | grep YOURNEWUSERNAME" - and yes, using "sudo passwd NEWUSERNAME" will set a password. | 13:17 |
| ozfalcon | histo, yes to both. sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash -U -p password sentinal | 13:17 |
| rooks | brad, the commoand for virtualbox headless is: vboxheadless, it comes along normal virtualbox-ose package, tho im sure its in virtualbox-puel | 13:17 |
| histo | kephu: grub shouldn't be looking at the cdrom your bios mostlikely is | 13:17 |
| ozfalcon | ZykoticK9, User exists in /etc/passwd | 13:18 |
| roberto_ | brasil | 13:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | ozfalcon, using adduser instead of useradd is a lot easier BTW | 13:18 |
| histo | ozfalcon: seconds adduser | 13:18 |
| roberto_ | ajuda aqui | 13:18 |
| kephu | histo, it happens when grub kicks in, not sooner. And the moment I pop the CD open, grub goes from "okay grub is loading" to "here's your menu kind sir make your selection now yes" | 13:18 |

| Incarus | roberto_ it is an english channel | 13:20 |
| kephu | histo, I assume so. I'm using whatever the default in 10.10 is | 13:20 |
| mexx | i'm trying to install x11 on a 10.04 server and it hangs while Unpacking libxfixes3 | 13:20 |
| ozfalcon | ok. Using "adduser" worked and enabled ssh via that (new) user. Thanks. | 13:21 |
| histo | kephu: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 13:21 |
| jamesstanley | How do you change the text colour of the Gnome clock? In the guest session it is fine, but on my account if I use the Ambiance theme the clock is black-on-black and the theme can't really be used | 13:22 |
| Sembiance | My computer was not powered off correctly (power loss). Now when booting I'm just starting at the Ubuntu logo. Is there a Key Combination I can press to view a console log of what it is doing right now? | 13:22 |
| Sembiance | I'd like to see the boot process. My guess is it's doing a disk check or something | 13:22 |
| histo | Sembiance: you can hold the shift key to get a grub menu | 13:22 |
| jamesstanley | Sembiance: i would try f2, ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2 in that order | 13:22 |
| kephu | histo, I could, but it's completely unmodified | 13:22 |
| histo | Sembiance: then you should be able to boot to recovery mode | 13:23 |
| Incarus | Sembiane, are you using kde? | 13:23 |
| mexx | Sembiance: or boot in recovery mode | 13:23 |
| histo | kephu: well it should have your menu entries in it. | 13:23 |
| kephu | histo, also, this is not exclusive to ubuntu, this happens every time I get my linux on | 13:23 |
| histo | kephu: make sure there is nothing related to cdrom. I would double check your bios boot sequence | 13:23 |
| Sembiance | Incarus: no, not using KDE, but not at that point yet. | 13:24 |
| Sembiance | Still at the ubuntu menu with 5 red dots that are not changing heh | 13:24 |
| kephu | histo, searching for "cd" in grub.cfg yields nothing | 13:24 |
| Sembiance | jamesstanley: tried those, none of them worked | 13:24 |

| mohanohi | no sound app in system>preference | 13:24 |
| histo | kephu: no anything that isn't a uuid for a boot option etc.. | 13:24 |
| jamesstanley | mohanohi: is the volume turned up? that was my problem, it came with it defaulted to 9% volume | 13:24 |
| histo | Sembiance: yeah or you can try hitting ctrl+alt+f1 through F6 | 13:25 |
| gnomefreak | kephu: you maybe want to try #linux if we can not help you here, but if it is not just Ubuntu that would be a better place IMHO | 13:25 |
| mohanohi | jamesstanley: yes it is, i checked it through alsomixer | 13:25 |
| kephu | also, it's not that it tries to BOOT from CD-rom. What happens is this: grub outputs its plain "grub is loading", THEN minces the cd, then, after it's done with that, it loads the menu | 13:25 |
| mohanohi | jamesstanley: i mean alsamixer | 13:25 |
| tgywa | where can I download Ubuntu emergency boot disk ? for Ubuntu 10.04 + 64 bit server? | 13:25 |

| mohanohi | dli: i mean after installing pulseaudio? | 13:48 |
| Incarus | nijan, not sure about that. that page doesnt work for me. sure that it is not caused by the page itself? | 13:48 |
| PhantomString | lyj: change your /etc/profile to have export HISTSIZE=whatever | 13:48 |
| quiescens | xukun: its just that you were asking for 1863.02G and it probably had 1863.019G or something | 13:48 |
| PhantomString | hosedsystem: One sec | 13:48 |
| dli | mohanohi, no need, just do "pulseaudio --start;pavucontrol" | 13:48 |

| lyj_ | Er... So where is it set? | 13:49 |
| lyj_ | which file sets the default value? | 13:49 |
| hosedsystem | PhantomString: I guess that's expected behaviour when installation fails right somewhere in the middle | 13:50 |
| mohanohi | dli: ok i opened pavucontrol, the sound was muted..... thank you very much.. now its working!!!! | 13:50 |
| lyj_ | which file sets the default value? | 13:51 |
| hosedsystem | PhantomString: but it did fail for no apparent reason, the 10.04 was a pretty vanilla installation, I followed the upgrade path directly. | 13:51 |
| PhantomString | lyj: you can create a .bash_profile in your home directory and then just put in that file "export HISTSIZE=20000" or whatever number and then type source .bash_profile | 13:51 |
| lyj_ | I just want to know where is the default value set... | 13:51 |

| kv102t | norton ghost, clonezilla etc.. | 13:56 |

| Flynsarmy | There's an infurating bug in 10.10 where on startup the notification area applet won't be sitting at the far right of the top panel - it'll be like 2 inches left. and when i try to 'move' it (unlocked) it wont move any further right even though there's nothing there. it'llmove left but not any further right. Anyone else experiencing this? | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Flynsarmy: not seen it do that. | 14:23 |

| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: what desktop? | 14:24 |
| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip: gnome | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: are there seperators there? It's hardly infuriating either | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | mkotwd: i'd ask in #pascal or #delphi | 14:25 |

| Dr_Willis | http://www.taoyue.com/tutorials/pascal/contents.html | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: if you right click in the gap and select remove, does it vanish? | 14:26 |
| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip: if i right click in the gap it offers 'add to panel' there is no remove option - there's nothing there. | 14:26 |

| chadi | I installed cntlm, and it auto starts on boot, then i installed bum and unchecked cntlm, it stills attempts to load. How can I prevent it from loading? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynsarmy: no, this isn't windows | 14:28 |
| Flynsarmy | ActionParsnip: haha touche | 14:28 |
| Somelauw | When printing my colors are fucked up. Is it likely to be linux or is my printer broken? | 14:28 |

| Somelauw | When printing my colors are messed up. Is it likely to be linux or is my printer broken? | 14:29 |
| Somelauw | Better? | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | chadi: bum handles SysV type init processses. but not the newer upstart ones perhaps.. (bum is rather old) - If its ran by upstart. there will be an init scrpt for cntlm in /etc/init/ you could rename to disable it. | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: ive had drivers mess up the colors. | 14:29 |
| Goldline | Greppy ur here | 14:29 |

| ZanQdo | it hangs on Verifying DMI Pool Data ........................ Update Success | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: did you MD5 test the ISO before transferring it? | 14:30 |
| Somelauw | Yes, it was autoconfigured. Printing black/white works fine, but colors are printed very ugly. | 14:30 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: no | 14:30 |
| chadi | Dr_Willis, there's no cntlm entry in /etc/init/ | 14:30 |
| ZanQdo | how | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: ahhhh thats not an ubuntu issue. | 14:30 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: no? | 14:30 |
| ZanQdo | its the bios? | 14:30 |
| noname_ | Empathy doesn't work with hotmail account for me .any help | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | chadi: check the old sysv dirs then perhaps. Ive no idea what cntlm even is. | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: power off the system, take the power cable out of the back and let it site for half an hour | 14:31 |
| Alinn | PhantomString: rusivi: Thanks a lot :) | 14:31 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: ok | 14:31 |

| spiekey | is there a intrepid repo archive somewhere? | 14:33 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 14:33 |
| camer0n_ | ActionParsnip, does this need to be setup? i tried using it last night and it didn't work | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | !eol > spiekey | 14:33 |
| ubottu | spiekey, please see my private message | 14:33 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, i wouldn't have any idea what either of those mean... i just want to be able to send an email :S | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | spiekey: old-releases.ubuntu.com iirc | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | camer0n_: not sure, i'm only aware of it. It will need access to a mail server | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | chadi: the sysv scripts these days for the most part are Upstart scripts/links to them. Most services/tools are converting to Upstart methods, so its worth learning. | 14:34 |
| Sorensen | hello ppl. I got some problem with grub. Anyone want to helt me? | 14:34 |
| Sorensen | help* | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Sorensen: state the issue to the channel.. | 14:34 |
| chadi | Dr_Willis, where are they exactly? | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | leafwiz: run: sudo lshw -C network you can search for guides based on the product line | 14:34 |
| hal | ok forget searchmonkey - can anyone recommend a good GUI for find/grep? | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | hal: why do you need a gui, find and grep are easy to use | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | chadi: upstart uses /etc/init Sysv - uses the /etc/rc* type dirs. | 14:34 |
| hal | ActionParsnip: because I prefer to point and click rather than type a long-winded command | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | search the package manager tool? see if it has any allready there? | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | hal: find is in Aplications>Accesories>Search | 14:35 |
| Jovaro | how can I stop ubuntu from autostarting X on startup? | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Jovaro: disable the GDM service in /etc/init/ | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hal: you will need to type the search strings so its not point and click even with a gui, you could write a script then write a python gui. much quicker and far easier to just use terminal | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Jovaro: or use the kernel 'text' option at boot time. | 14:36 |
| chadi | Dr_Willis, and I assume that the numbers represent the priority, right? | 14:36 |
| hal | for example, find ./ -type f -exec grep -Hi 'this phrase' \{\} \; do you know a better way ActionParsnip ? | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hal: what are you searching for, the command isn't long at all | 14:36 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, can you use something like gmail/hotmail/etc with sSMTP? just having a read of it at the moment | 14:36 |
| erUSUL | Jovaro: add text to boot options in /etc/default/grub ? run « sudo update-grub » | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | chadi: for sysv? its the order they are ran in yes. | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !sysv | 14:36 |
| erUSUL | camer0n_: i know gmail works; the others should work too | 14:36 |
| hal | erUSUL: the native search does not search all files | 14:37 |
| chadi | Dr_Willis, thank you very much :-)\ | 14:37 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: it doesnt match but I remember md5sum had problems with 32 bit vs 64 bit testing? | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hal: if you use it a lot, you can put the command in a script and replace the search and grep strings with $1 and $2 | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | camer0n_: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/ <<<< | 14:37 |
| Jovaro | I don't have gdm | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: no, if the md4 doesn't match, the image is bad | 14:37 |
| Jovaro | so I try the text alternative, thanks! | 14:38 |
| ZanQdo | ok | 14:38 |
| replicasex | ActionParsnip, any idea if I can install Unity without UNBR? | 14:38 |
| erUSUL | Jovaro: kdm xdm or whatever you use | 14:38 |
| Jovaro | none of those, maybe that is why it crashes | 14:38 |
| hal | event then you have to move up and down directories, and escape non alpha characters, which is also slower than a gui | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | replicasex: you can install the netbook-destop package. | 14:38 |
| Jovaro | I just use fluxbox | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | replicasex: sure, just install it and the deps will be used. te default WM is mutter which is a little slower than compiz | 14:38 |
| hal | ActionParsnip: ^^^ *even then... | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Jovaro: fluxbox rocks | 14:38 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, thanks, ssmtp seems like it will be good to use... just hope it doesn't use too much ram.... | 14:38 |
| delinquentme | whats the line command to go with sudo that just gives you temp superuser options ... is it " sudo -i"? | 14:39 |
| replicasex | Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip yeah I just had a bad experience installing kubuntu dekstop environ and having it be horribly messy to remove -- how easy would it be to remove Unity/UNBR? | 14:39 |
| Jovaro | ActionParsnip, I don't know about that, but it works great for my mythtv-box | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hal: true, is it something you use a lot? | 14:39 |
| erUSUL | delinquentme: yes | 14:39 |
| hal | yes, a lot ActionParsnip | 14:39 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell > delinquentme | 14:39 |
| ubottu | delinquentme, please see my private message | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | replicasex: if you emove unity and mutter, it should then mark the rest for removal afaik | 14:39 |
| replicasex | ActionParsnip, I'm assuming the install isn't as extensive as a KDE install as it doesn't have to pull in so many libs and so on. | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | replicasex: thats an issue of how the meta-packages work.. the netbook stuff added a new meni entry to gnome for the Netbook interfaec.. is all i saw it do. | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | hal: wow, hmm, let me search: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grepgui/ | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | replicasex: not near as cluttered as if you would have kubuntu and ubuntu both installed. | 14:40 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: awesome, using a download manager this time | 14:40 |
| delinquentme | erUSUL, and how do i escape from that mode? | 14:40 |
| ZanQdo | thank you man | 14:41 |
| replicasex | Dr_Willis, good cuz that was a bloody nightmare :p | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | delinquentme: run "exit" | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: using torrents adds extra checking and can help, MD5 still needs doing | 14:41 |
| Sorensen | Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on sdd? When i restart it just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse > | 14:41 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: oks | 14:41 |
| delinquentme | thanks! | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | delinquentme: or do "crtl +D" ( the same thing you will do to exit any other shell ) | 14:41 |
| makkura | I recently installed Ubuntu server edition 10.10 and set up shorewall last night. Now I find that I can no longer _edit_ files. I can create and remove them but cannot edit them even when using sudo, varrying directories. I've never heard of such a thing so wondering what thoughts people might have on it. | 14:41 |

| ActionParsnip | makkura: could make a note of ownership too then make root the owner, or your user etc | 14:43 |

| makkura | erUSUL: Editing via nano it lets me edit and it looks fine. When I exit and save it asks what name to save it as and then drops back into the editor. If there is an error, I dont' see it (but I am vnced into a system that then connects to the server via ssh so it may not stay on screen long enough). | 14:43 |
| x-Nihil | Oh. So that's how they go in. | 14:43 |
| x-Nihil | Hello. | 14:43 |
| noname_ | yes there are many ppl have the same prblems , but some of them fixed the problem ..but i used the guid and no result | 14:43 |
| makkura | I tried editing the file with ruby and it echos the file after it is done and it looks correct. Cating the file after that and it is unchanged. | 14:44 |
| sjm | cherva, did you use linux software raid rather than the motherboard "fakeraid"? | 14:44 |
| noname_ | <Dr_Willis>:yes there are many ppl have the same prblems , but some of them fixed the problem ..but i used the guid and no result | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | makkura: the error should appear in the nano modeline | 14:44 |
| x-Nihil | Can anyone tell me some pointers on what keyboard shortcuts to assign? I don't want any conflicting shortcuts in play. | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sjm: may have used good hardware raid too | 14:44 |
| cherva | sjm, yes that one from the "manual partitioning" in the setup | 14:45 |
| makkura | ActionParsnip: ownship of the file to be edited is root and i'm editing using sudo nano .. Editing a file without sudo in my /home has the same effect with me as the owner. | 14:45 |
| Jovaro | erUSUL, just adding text at bootup didn't make a difference... I used nosplash instead of splash but I still get the splash screen after a while and it switched to tty7 instead of sticking to tty1... | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | makkura: or you can try to add a comment line to a file « echo "#this is a comment" >> /etc/whateverfile » | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut > x-Nihil | 14:45 |
| ubottu | x-Nihil, please see my private message | 14:45 |
| makkura | I'll double check nano and try that as well. | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | makkura: is the partition healthy? | 14:45 |
| sjm | cherva, did you put grub on each drive? | 14:45 |
| sjm | cherva, raid 1, 5, 10? | 14:46 |
| Sorensen | Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on my 4th hdd? When i boot from the disc, just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse > | 14:46 |
| makkura | I installed just two days ago and saw no signs of problems before that. I haven't checked specifically, however. What's the best way to go about checking? | 14:46 |
| === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 | ||

| Sorensen | sorry if you feel that im spamming, but i really dont know how to solve this :( | 14:46 |
| replicasex | ActionParsnip, what would you say the preferred way of getting Unity/UNBR? The software center? | 14:46 |
| x-Nihil | Oh, I do know how to set shortcuts, but so far when I set them up other programs also use them as shortcuts, and problems occur. | 14:47 |

| replicasex | I don't really want the unbr itself, just Unity -- is that possible? | 14:47 |
| sjm | erUSUL, why is software raid called "fakeraid" here. There is a difference. | 14:48 |
| sjm | cherva, not sure here. I haven | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | replicasex: any package manager is fine | 14:48 |
| sjm | cherva, not sure here. I haven't worked much with raid 5. | 14:48 |
| sachael | hi, I'm looking for a gnome program that automatically records time spent on a project by tracking the active window | 14:48 |
| erUSUL | sjm: no here fakeraid is bios raid ;P | 14:49 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, ssmtp works great! thanks | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | camer0n_: no problem | 14:49 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, just have to work it into a script now :P | 14:49 |
| roni | hi everybody .. i need a little help with iptables .. | 14:49 |
| replicasex | ActionParsnip, ok, I'll install the ubuntu-netbook package and see how it goes. I'd rather just get unity itself but that seems impossible | 14:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sachael: theres that zeigiest thing that can sort of do that.. but i think it does more then just that. :) I never use it myself. but it seems neat | 14:50 |
| sjm | Sorensen, can't find the specific drive UUID to boot from. Look for information on UUID. | 14:50 |
| erUSUL | sjm: but if you want to tweak the wording of the factoid you can propose a change | 14:50 |
| roni | i got 3 ip in a server ... 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.3 | 14:50 |
| Sorensen | sjm. Please tell me so an idiot understand. Im very new in linux | 14:50 |
| roni | i need to block all the access to ip 192.168.0.3 , and allow the access just for the ip 192.168.0.10 | 14:50 |
| gondoi | is there a guide somewhere on creating seed files for automated install? | 14:50 |
| sachael | Dr_Willis, thanks for the pointer, will look into it. | 14:51 |
| sjm | erUSUL, that's my definition, but the links you pointed ubottu to, seemed to equate the two (at least the titles) | 14:51 |
| roni | is there a way to do that ? | 14:51 |
| erUSUL | sjm: yes i see that For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto can lead to ambiguity. as i said you can propose a better wording | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !iptables | roni | 14:51 |
| ubottu | roni: 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. | 14:51 |
| x-Nihil | Can anyone help? | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | sachael: gnome activity journal seems to be the gui to it. | 14:52 |
| sjm | roni. yes, with iptables firewall you can only allow that ip | 14:52 |

| ActionParsnip | MAAAAD: echo "Text I want to write" | sudo tee /path/to/file | 14:53 |
| Chaos2358 | xangua that link you gave me last night for gyachi isnt updated for maverick yet | 14:53 |
| Madwill | anybody know the implication of using something like an LPGL licensed framework into an application | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | makkura: with sudo you need « echo "something" | tee -a /etc/something » | 14:53 |
| Dr_Willis | echo "foo" | sudo tee /root/somefile | 14:53 |
| makkura | erUSUL: nano leaves the text up to save the file rather than show and error.. it stays until i resize the window to for a refresh (damn putty :P) | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | Madwill: LGPL allows linking to closed source software | 14:53 |
| petan | x-Nihil: just ask | 14:53 |
| Madwill | Thanks | 14:54 |
| makkura | ahh my bad on usage then, just a moment | 14:54 |
| x-Nihil | I want to know what keyboard shortcuts I can set up without setting conflicting shortcuts with other programs. | 14:54 |
| petan | x-Nihil: you can display current shortcuts in your keyboard settings | 14:55 |
| sjm | erUSUL, I'd suggest "for motherboard raid" or "for bios ("hardware") raid" rather than "for software raid" | 14:55 |
| camer0n_ | how do you declare a string variable in bash? i have been using "x=10" for numbers... but can you use "email=email@address.com"? | 14:55 |
| petan | x-Nihil: also do not use ctrl+alt+del ctrl+alt+fX ctrl+alt+backspace | 14:56 |
| greppy | camer0n_: email='something' | 14:56 |

| erUSUL | camer0n_: email="email@address.com" | 14:56 |
| NoiseEee | what happend to interpid-updates? | 14:56 |
| x-Nihil | Ah. Thanks. Is Alt-fX fine? | 14:56 |
| erUSUL | makkura: then there is no problem that i can see | 14:56 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, tried that... it's kinda screwing up :P | 14:56 |
| camer0n_ | greppy, will try the single quotes | 14:56 |

| erUSUL | camer0n_: how is failing? give example | 14:57 |
| petan | x-Nihil: I do not recommend that as long it is chortcut for switching between tty's but should be disabled in X server mode | 14:57 |

| camer0n_ | erUSUL, i was trying to do the command: "ssmtp $email < msg.txt" | 14:58 |
| NoiseEee | ActionParsnip: odd, i didnt think my install was that old :\ how to tell what version of ubuntu im running | 14:58 |
| x-Nihil | Also, does anyone have any sort of link to a tutorial on the usage of OpenOffice Formula? | 14:58 |
| makkura | erUSUL: double checking the ruby snippet i tried using.. may just be a problem over the chained connections vnc->putty then | 14:58 |
| Dr_Willis | !version | 14:58 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 14:58 |
| camer0n_ | greppy, what do you mean by "expand variables"? | 14:58 |
| luis_hasbon | I was wondering if any of you has have problems or issues with sound in ubuntu maverick? | 14:58 |
| greppy | camer0n_: if var="testing" and you have var2="${var} again" var2 would be 'testing again' | 14:59 |
| camer0n_ | can't kill script :S | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | luis_hasbon, did you just upgrade? | 14:59 |

| erUSUL | camer0n_: ssmtp -s "nothing here" "$email" < msg.txt | 15:00 |
| camer0n_ | greppy, how do you kill a script that won't stop with CTRL+C? | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | camer0n_: should work | 15:00 |
| luis_hasbon | <BluesKaj>: I made a fresh cd install | 15:00 |

| Dr_Willis | camer0n_: some scropt You made? or what exactly? | 15:00 |
| sjm | ActionParsnip, what does "No LSB modules are available" from that command mean? | 15:00 |
| Chell | camer0n_, kill from terminal | 15:00 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, awesome. will do that... | 15:00 |
| NoiseEee | thanks Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip | 15:00 |
| Dr_Willis | sjm: means you forgot the -a | 15:00 |
| luis_hasbon | BluesKaj: I made a fresh cd install, do i ned to upgrade? I already mde an update | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sjm: the rest will tell you the release | 15:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !lsb | 15:01 |
| ubottu | The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas. | 15:01 |
| * Dr_Willis has no idea what lsb modules are... | 15:01 | |
| camer0n_ | Dr_Willis, yeah... just something i have been trying to get working. simple script. | 15:01 |
| sjm | ActionParsnip, no, I put in the "-a" and still got it. | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | camer0n_: check that the configuration is ok; it may be stuck in the authentification with gmail servers etc. | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: me neither, i dont think its important for support either so I havent dug into it | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sjm: me too but it still gives the release name | 15:02 |
| sjm | ActionParsnip, yes, I was just curious about the message. (I usually just use "cat /etc/issue") | 15:02 |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, i have a loop with a sleep command... i think that is the issue. will comment that out with testing :P | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | luis_hasbon, check alsamixer in the terminal..for some reason the ctrls are either mutd or turned down after upgrades | 15:03 |
| * Chell is happy ssh is universal. Even under Haiku you can still run your favorite Ubuntu apps ;) | 15:03 | |
| camer0n_ | erUSUL, maybe i do not :S | 15:03 |
| rigved | hi everyone | 15:03 |
| luis_hasbon | BluesKaj: it says alsamixer cant be open, cant find the file or directory | 15:04 |
| sjm | erUSUL, did you see my suggestion for the ubottu wording above? to whom do I make the suggestion? | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | camer0n_: try #bash; you may want to paste the script so we can take a look | 15:04 |
| rigved | i want to watch some videos which require silverlight. which package should i install? i am using ubuntu 10.04 AMD64. | 15:04 |

| mibbed | I have a problem with a dual boot | 15:41 |
| open_your_eyes | Pici: lol, i'm not joking at all | 15:41 |
| mibbed | I installed ubuntu on a second HDD | 15:41 |
| mibbed | with windows 7 on the first | 15:41 |
| mibbed | and intended it to be swapped over to my other machine | 15:41 |
| llac | Good evening! | 15:41 |
| mibbed | which has no disc drive or network connection | 15:42 |
| mibbed | but now the boot loader is messed up and I can't get into windows | 15:42 |

| llac | hi rick97 | 15:42 |
| mibbed | can't find any instructions that are specific to this, so I wondered if anyone here could help | 15:42 |
| goltoof | is there a way to see progress when copying one dir to another with cli | 15:42 |
| ubuntuser | привет | 15:42 |
| rick97 | please let me know the steps to install quake terminal on ubuntu 10.04 | 15:42 |
| ubuntuser | I an new user of Ubuntu | 15:43 |
| ubuntuser | I am* | 15:43 |
| open_your_eyes | is it possible to turn current system into vm at runtime? | 15:43 |
| open_your_eyes | without losing connection? | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mibbed: you need an install CD or network connection to install os-probrer then run: sudo os-prober | 15:43 |
| open_your_eyes | so i could then install ubuntu 10.10 on another vm | 15:43 |
| ubuntuser | in this moment i read the book"ubuntu for dummies" | 15:43 |
| open_your_eyes | and after checking i could make this 10.10 main os | 15:44 |
| mibbed | actionParsnip: and this will fix it? | 15:44 |
| goltoof | I'm copying a huge directory to a backup drive... it's just been sitting there, i'm sure it's working but it'd be nice to see the progress, next time i do this | 15:44 |
| rigved | open_your_eyes: install a emulator (like qemu). then install ubuntu 10.10 in it and then try the system if it works (connect to the vm) | 15:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mibbed: pretty much | 15:44 |
| open_your_eyes | rigved: is it possible to do remotely? | 15:44 |
| mibbed | ActionParsnip: great, thanks :D | 15:44 |

| open_your_eyes | what is it? | 15:45 |
| ubuntuser | and in this moment I read the post of IRChat in ubuntu | 15:45 |
| open_your_eyes | can vmware run in console-only server? | 15:45 |
| rigved | open_your_eyes: yes | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | open_your_eyes: the server can, yes | 15:45 |
| open_your_eyes | hmm, there is 18Mb free | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | open_your_eyes: theres a dedicated OS for it called ESX | 15:45 |

| ubuntuser | hello! | 15:47 |
| mibbed | ActionParsnip: I didn't get any output, did it work? | 15:47 |
| jovaro | either use synaptic or with the terminal: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 15:47 |
| ubuntuser | answer me please | 15:47 |

| om26er | ubuntuser, yes | 15:47 |
| llac | ubuntuser: yes, it works | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mibbed: ok now run: sudo update-grub | 15:48 |
| rigved | noob-tux: to remove and delete configuration files also, try - sudo apt-get purge <package> | 15:48 |
| Grav | om26er: ok gonna check it now, thanks | 15:48 |

| mibbed | should it work now? | 15:48 |
| ks3 | open_your_eyes, I wasn't aware Latvia had nuclear weapons | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mibbed: do you see windows in the list of output? | 15:48 |
| morgancurrie | hey guys, while trying to deploy an update to my webapp today, i got some errors about apt-get update failing, and it seems like the repo for Intrepid is down/gone. any info? | 15:48 |
| zackmax | is unity only for netbooks or desktops too? | 15:48 |
| open_your_eyes | ks3: its an USA satellite | 15:49 |
| mibbed | no, only linux, memtest 86 and initrd | 15:49 |
| open_your_eyes | my location is for political cover | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | open_your_eyes: so you are asking casual users in an IRCchat for this sort of thing? | 15:49 |
| open_your_eyes | so i'm very scared to update ubuntu there.. | 15:49 |
| mibbed | the other drive is mounted, if that effect anything | 15:49 |
| open_your_eyes | but it must be done.. | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: good move | 15:50 |
| diegoviola | hi | 15:50 |
| diegoviola | ubuntu will use wayland from now on? | 15:50 |
| diegoviola | in further versions | 15:50 |
| diegoviola | 11.x | 15:50 |
| RichGuk | Hey, I have a openssh chroot question :) | 15:50 |
| zackmax | is wayland/unity only for netbooks bcuz its lighter or it can used on desktops with just as much power as gnome? | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | diegoviola: its not in the maverick repo | 15:51 |
| Pici | diegoviola: #ubuntu+1 would be a better place to discuss. #ubuntu is for supported releases only, and only support at that. | 15:51 |
| mibbed | ActionParsnip: so if it isn't showing, do I need to unmount the drive it's on or something? | 15:51 |
| diegoviola | yes, but i would like to know if ubuntu will replace xorg with wayland | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zackmax: you can use any WM / DE you can get your hands on, there is no such thing as "only" for netbooks | 15:51 |

| llac | RichGuk: ask your question | 15:51 |
| rigved | open_your_eyes: then don't, if it concerns national security. what's more important, human lives or the fact that the battery doesn't charge fully | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | mibbed: no, you just need more work. Usually os-prober inds bootable OSes | 15:52 |
| mattprokes | anyone develop with java ROO before? | 15:52 |
| morgancurrie | I'm getting the following error when I run "apt-get update" on my server: Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages - 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.30 80] | 15:52 |
| zackmax | ActionParsnip: I see.. but the news is that X/Gnome are being ditched.. so I was wondering if that's only for netbooks or for desktops as well | 15:52 |
| llac | mattprokes: what is java ROO? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | morgancurrie: intrepid is dead | 15:52 |
| mibbed | This is a problem :/ | 15:52 |
| RichGuk | llac: I did have it working fine, then I think some permissions got changed so it wasn't picking up the key, I fixed that but now it won't copy files over with scp, it just hangs and doesn't quit, or copy. The user has no shell, if I use sftp I can connect and put files fine though. | 15:52 |
| RichGuk | llac: I'll gist the debug of server/client | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | zackmax: depends on needs and tastes, X can be ditched if you can do without it | 15:53 |
| RichGuk | and sshd_config | 15:53 |
| mattprokes | llac: sorry, spring ROO | 15:53 |
| zackmax | I see... thanks | 15:53 |
| morgancurrie | ActionParsnip: I was able to get updates a few days ago. Did this just officially happen? | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | zackmax: you can install any desktop on any type of system, the installer doesnt detect hardware and report "not running a netbook" and stop, it doesn't care | 15:53 |

| Pici | wzj: Take a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community | 15:56 |
| mibbed | ActionParsnip: All the things it finds are in its own file system, if that changes anything. Is there any way I can get windows to boot without using grub? | 15:56 |
| RichGuk | llac: https://gist.github.com/f39bfa170c1569eeaafe | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | mibbed: if the OS is on a seperate drive you can simply switch in BIOS. If you boot to windows CD and reinstate the windows boot loader then boot to ubuntu live CD and reinstate grub it should pickup the windows boot | 15:57 |
| rigved | how can i make the low-level graphics mode (desktop effects diabled) of ubuntu my default (so that grub boots into it when i start)? | 15:58 |
| rigved | i have a old compaq laptop, so it does not support the gnome de with the normal desktop effects enabled. | 15:58 |
| mibbed | ActionParsnip: excellent, I'll try that. Thanks | 15:58 |

| mike_deb_h | alot | 16:10 |
| goltoof | like? :) | 16:10 |
| mike_deb_h | 1GKSUDO | 16:10 |
| tao | sudo is temporary? | 16:10 |
| mike_deb_h | !sudo | 16:10 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 16:10 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | goltoof: sudo is for a single command | 16:11 |
| mike_deb_h | !gksudo | 16:11 |
| ubottu | 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) | 16:11 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | goltoof: su logs you in as that user | 16:11 |
| mike_deb_h | sudo will hold priv for 10 minutes in that open window | 16:11 |
| goltoof | right i use sudo all the time but not su | 16:11 |
| goltoof | can i get just one example of su use? | 16:11 |
| noob-tux | how can i play a dvd file in dvd disc? i used vlc and i got errors... | 16:11 |
| ks3 | goltoof, With sudo, you only need to know your own password. With su, you need to password of the user you're trying to run commands as. | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: stick to sudo and you'll have fewer issues | 16:12 |

| Tuxiscool | Hello, I'm attempting to write a software installer, and looking for some opinions. Do people here think, if such an installation program was launched as a non-root user, software installed by the program should be installed in their /home directory (one they had access to) by default? Or would you think it should always query for root access and default to [a subdirectory of] /usr/local/? Note that this installer is meant to act as a | 16:35 |
| Tuxiscool | centralised system, so it will keep track of all the software it installs (were the user wanting to uninstall it later). | 16:35 |
| ikonia | Nertil: error coe 127 is "command not found" | 16:35 |

| === fc is now known as Guest32999 | ||
| ikonia | dreinull: what do you want to upgrade to ? | 16:36 |
| === Guest32999 is now known as fc_ | ||
| ikonia | Nertil: I'd suggest looking at the $PATH in your script | 16:36 |
| dreinull | the latest, ikonia. I usually upgrade via aptitude everyday | 16:36 |
| dreinull | but it doesnt affect my kernel obviously. | 16:36 |
| Nertil | fixing it now | 16:36 |
| jure_ | ever since I've upgraded to 10.10, I'm noticing "ghosting" -- menu elements remain after clicking somewhere else -- what can I do to fix this? | 16:36 |
| ikonia | dreinull: ok, so upgrade them via aptitude to the latest 8.04 packaged kernel | 16:36 |
| hiems | Tuxiscool: for example, if I recall well, Google Earth's installer targets the home directory if launched as non root user | 16:37 |
| Pici | dreinull: 2.6.28 doesn't even appear to be in the 8.04 repositories. The maximum version there is 2.6.24. | 16:37 |
| dreinull | ikonia: I don't get the option to upgrade. And when they are upgraded they don't automatically get booted. | 16:37 |
| ikonia | dreinull: kernel upgrades are not auto boot, you still have to reboot them | 16:37 |
| dreinull | ikonia: no, not auto boot, but grub | 16:38 |
| Nertil | */5 * * * * /var/script/CCcamCheck.sh | 16:38 |
| Nertil | this is how look my line in crontab -e | 16:38 |
| dreinull | in my /boot folder I have vmlinuz-2.6.28-19-generic installed | 16:38 |
| ikonia | dreinull: they will get put to the top of the grub menu, which is what you want | 16:38 |
| ikonia | dreinull: from what Pici has said that's not a valid 8.04 kernel | 16:38 |
| patapra | hi, what does it mean when, after saving a file, it has # before and after it ? | 16:39 |
| dreinull | maybe I'm on 8.10 :) | 16:39 |
| Tuxiscool | hiems: As long as the option is there for both I guess it's fine? Installing to /home by default would only be a waste, I guess, if there are lots of users on a single machine, and how typical is that for the average desktop machine? | 16:39 |
| ikonia | dreinull: 8.10 is not supported any more, so there will be no more updates | 16:39 |
| Pici | dreinull: 8.10 didn't have that kernel version either, 9.04 did. And 9.04 just reached its end of life. | 16:39 |

| dreinull | anyway, I do have these other kernels in my /boot dir. So all I do is change the file name in my grub? | 16:42 |

| AnirbanHazra | how can I check whether curl is properly installed on my server or not ? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | AnirbanHazra: I've told you | 16:44 |
| cfedde | using netcat and tar to transfer hierarchy between systems. Would either of those tools have limitations on the total ammount of data that they can transfer? | 16:44 |
| dschuett | ikonia - well i know that but i don't tell it to backup those TWO sepecific directories just /var/www | 16:44 |
| ikonia | dschuett: it's a log rotate error, not rsync | 16:44 |

| dschuett | ikonia: any idea on how to get rid of it? | 16:44 |

| blue_anna | could anyone with Maverick verify that gconf2 is at version 2.31.91 please? | 16:46 |
| ikonia | Tr3LoS: mounting a disk is nothing to do with it "loading" | 16:46 |
| ikonia | Tr3LoS: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 16:46 |
| Tr3LoS | 10.10 maverick | 16:46 |
| ikonia | Tr3LoS: what do you mean by "windows won't load" | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | !info gconf2 | 16:47 |

| ngirard | Hi all. How would you recommand me to perform an apt-get dist-upgrade on a remote machine via ssh ? Using screen ? | 16:49 |
| ikonia | ngirard: exactly as you've just said | 16:50 |
| kamsky | ikonia, syntax its ok, the problem is that it doesnt prints ls output | 16:50 |
| dschuett | ikonia: i have never messed with logrotate? - i'm not even sure how it works or what to do to fix this | 16:50 |
| ikonia | kamsky: syntax isn't ok, do "at now ls" | 16:50 |
| ikonia | kamsky: it will fail | 16:50 |
| dli | ngirard, yes, using screen will be good | 16:50 |
| kamsky | ikonia: $ at now ls | 16:50 |
| kamsky | syntax error. Last token seen: l | 16:50 |
| kamsky | Garbled time | 16:50 |
| dli | ngirard, also, do-release-upgrade | 16:50 |

| ikonia | kamsky: there you go, synatx is wrong | 16:51 |
| mibbed | Hi | 16:51 |
| mibbed | I was here about 30 minutes ago | 16:51 |
| cfedde | echo ls | at now # should work. | 16:51 |
| ngirard | Hi ikonia, dli. Thanks. So, err, something like screen $SHELL, then in the shell session I'd just perform the apt-get ? | 16:51 |
| mibbed | ubuntu's install medded up my windows and now I can't boot it | 16:51 |
| kamsky | ikonia, mysintax is ok.. | 16:51 |
| mibbed | messed*, and nothing suggested has worked | 16:51 |
| mibbed | anyone have experience with anything like this? | 16:51 |
| dli | ngirard, in screen, do-release-upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:51 |
| mibbed | because this is bad | 16:52 |
| ikonia | kamsky: then why does at now ls not work | 16:52 |
| kamsky | cfedde, the problem is that it doesnt work, if instead ls i write... touch proof, it creates the file | 16:52 |
| ngirard | dli: thanks again, didn't know about do-release-upgrade | 16:52 |
| cfedde | kamsky: what do you expect it to do? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | mibbed: ubuntu doesn't touch your windows OS | 16:53 |
| blue_anna | !dualboot > mibbed | 16:53 |
| ubottu | mibbed, please see my private message | 16:53 |
| kamsky | cfedde, see output of ls | 16:53 |
| cfedde | kamsky: it sends the results as email | 16:53 |
| mibbed | ikonia: I know, but it does touch the boot loader | 16:53 |
| kamsky | cfedde, email?¿? i want it on screen | 16:53 |
| ikonia | mibbed: no - it doesn't, it just chainloads with grub | 16:53 |
| ikonia | mibbed: what is the issue with booting windows, what problem ? | 16:53 |
| mibbed | ikonia well in that case, grub is corrupted | 16:53 |
| ikonia | mibbed: why is grub corrupted | 16:53 |
| ikonia | mibbed: explain | 16:54 |
| mibbed | because I get told the device isn't found, then get some kind of serial | 16:54 |
| mibbed | and grub rescue starts | 16:54 |
| mibbed | whenever I try and boot windows, but ubuntu works fine | 16:54 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| ngirard | dli: the trick is, i've already performed a s/lucid/maverick/g on my sources.list ; should i go one step backward ? | 16:54 |
| ikonia | mibbed: so grub is referncing a device for your winows disk that doesn't exist, you need to change your grub.cfg to point at the correct device | 16:54 |
| ikonia | mibbed: it's not corrupt, it's not touched windows, it's just looking at the wrong device | 16:55 |
| kamsky | cfedde, some idea?¿ | 16:55 |
| mibbed | ikonia: ahah, how would I do that? | 16:55 |

| ActionParsnip | dreinull: i personally always clean install, less pain | 17:07 |

| goltoof | Out_Cold, try a different viewer... some are better than others, some are total crap | 17:09 |
| ikonia | pksadiq: don't update firmware using wine, and if you don't have a tool to do it, you can't do it | 17:09 |

| ngirard | eurythmia: thanks for pointing out tmux | 17:10 |

| mibbed | Out_Cold : aha | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Chaos2358: gyache can do voice with yahoo | 17:11 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia in the new empathy it has the options for it | 17:11 |
| Out_Cold | mibbed, have you been on the ubuntu grub pages? | 17:11 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: load optimized defaults? | 17:11 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: doesn't mean it works/supported | 17:11 |

| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 17:11 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold: yep | 17:11 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia that sucks | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: there will be an option to clear DMI data | 17:11 |
| jovaro | ActionParsnip, it works fine on a regular screen, but on the tv it flickers like crazy... | 17:12 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold: not the former though, I'll look there | 17:12 |
| mibbed | thanks | 17:12 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: check if it is supported, I dont think it is, that doesn't mean I'm correct | 17:12 |
| jovaro | and I use it on the tv.... | 17:12 |
| Out_Cold | mibbed in a terminal run grub -v or grub --version | 17:12 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia how do i see if it is supported? | 17:12 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip:cant see it | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jovaro: you may need to set different refresh rate then | 17:12 |
| mibbed | uh oh | 17:13 |

| Out_Cold | sorry grub2 | 17:13 |
| jovaro | ActionParsnip, how do I do that? It is all before X is started so no use changing stuff in xorg.conf right? | 17:13 |
| mibbed | oh, ok :D | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: ok then the only other way I know is to disconnect all power and pull the watch battery out of the motherboard, don't do this unless you are ok with hardware | 17:13 |
| Out_Cold | gru'-tab' | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jovaro: you can use the framebuffer driver with extra config | 17:13 |

| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: then check the USB consistency once it starts to boot | 17:14 |
| Out_Cold | mibbed, if you a brand new to linux, tab is great for avoiding spelling errors and viewing choices. if you are typing in a terminal just pause once in a while even in mid word and hit tab key | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: or a different port | 17:14 |
| jovaro | ActionParsnip, I'll go read that, thanks! | 17:15 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: doesn't look like it's supported | 17:15 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: usb never boots | 17:15 |
| ZanQdo | ActionParsnip: but it does on a different pc | 17:15 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold thanks, this looks great | 17:15 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia it says audio video chat supported | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ZanQdo: then try setting different usb options in bios, as well as make sure you have the latest bios | 17:15 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: where ? | 17:15 |
| Out_Cold | mibbed, get a version #? I can't send you a link for the wrong grub... They are terribly different | 17:16 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia Audio and Video calls | 17:16 |
| Chaos2358 | Does Empathy support audio and video chat? | 17:16 |
| Chaos2358 | Yes. Empathy should be compatible with any client which implement Jingle and supports ICE and the corresponding XEPs properly. | 17:16 |

| arrrghhh | hey all need some startup script help. i built a script in init.d, added it with update-rc.d. everything is fine, but it seems the script didn't start as expected. what logs can i look in to see why it failed? | 17:16 |
| Out_Cold | no - lol | 17:16 |
| mibbed | trying out grub2, propos grub2, etc | 17:16 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: yes, and does yagoo use ice/ or ICE and a valid XEP ? | 17:16 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: yahoo is a propriatary protocol | 17:17 |
| UTF | i can use it as it is... but sometimes I hear a few clicks n' pops | 17:17 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia ok now you are speaking chinese to me lol | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: yahoo seems to use sip for voice chat, so voice chat may work | 17:17 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia neither work | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: ok, so it says it works with supported protocols, which are SIP/XMMP/Gtalk, | 17:17 |
| Out_Cold | oh ya... sorry mibbed... do grub-in(tab) -v | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: yahoo is a propitary protocol, the voice chat appears to be based on sip, so "may" work | 17:17 |
| mibbed | ahah, thanks | 17:17 |
| Chaos2358 | i dont get how it will tell me which of my contacts have webcams and if they are on but wont connect to them | 17:18 |
| mibbed | grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 | 17:18 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia^ | 17:18 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: because the client will advertise the hardware capabilities (especially if they are using official yahoo client) to the server, however you need the correct protocol to connect to them | 17:19 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | which cvs client is best on linux? i know of cervisia and tkcvs? you guys like any in particular? i miss tortoisesvn | 17:19 |
| ikonia | AndroidLoverInSF: there isn't a "best" it's personal prefernce, try them out | 17:19 |
| Chaos2358 | ikonia ok i got it now and im assuming there is no way to edit these protocols to actually support it is there? | 17:19 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: no | 17:19 |
| ikonia | Chaos2358: yahoo own it | 17:20 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold is that what you needed? | 17:20 |

| mibbed | Out_Cold uhm, forgotten how to do this. Though it was sudo grub.cfg but that isn't working | 17:27 |

| Out_Cold | mibbed, you can use 'nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg' or 'gedit /boot/grub/grubcfg' | 17:28 |

| vbwe | and if i want to make it bigger | 17:38 |
| vbwe | i need to reinstall | 17:38 |
| Out_Cold | for a production machine, it can be anything | 17:38 |
| Out_Cold | vbwe, no | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | vbwe: you'll need about 6Gb for the OS and enough space to be comfortable, then as much space as youo want for user data | 17:38 |
| rinku_kokiri | why did i get thrown into ubuntu-unregged | 17:38 |
| Pici | rinku_kokiri: I'd guess because you're unregistered/unidentified. | 17:39 |
| rinku_kokiri | that would be incorrect | 17:39 |
| rinku_kokiri | because i've been regged for months | 17:39 |

| Pici | rinku_kokiri: You aren't identified currently. | 17:39 |

| ActionParsnip | vbwe: you can dualboot with ubuntu, if thats what you mean? | 17:45 |
| rinku_kokiri | xangua, because of a disconnect issue i was having, now the sound doesn't stop randomly (unless adobe crashes) but rather, my volume control will quit working (i have to manually adjust it from the sound preferences window) and when i turn my vol all the way down, it unfades my sound from the back, putting it full center, killing my eardrums | 17:45 |
| Out_Cold | vbwe, i doubt they allow you to use thier loader to dual boot | 17:46 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold sounds like fun | 17:46 |
| vbwe | i mean | 17:46 |
| Out_Cold | mibbed, depends on what cranks your gears :p | 17:46 |
| vbwe | if i start my pc up | 17:46 |

| mibbed | Out_Cold indeed . just updated grub after adding my windows partition to the folder, but it isn't showing windows still | 17:48 |
| mibbed | should it be? | 17:48 |
| rinku_kokiri | mkquist, that doesn't solve why when i adjust the volume, it changes my fade settings | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rofl0r: you mean 'sudo apt-get update', then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 17:48 |
| arvut | I had to do « sudo killall vlc » to quit them all | 17:48 |
| Out_Cold | did you follow the link with the uuids? | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut: i doubt if sudo was needed | 17:48 |
| rofl0r | Dr_Willis, no, after update immediately the update manager popped up | 17:48 |
| arvut | did it anyway, and it sure killed them | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rofl0r: yep. thats often how ti works. | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | arvut: you only need sudo if the process is not owned by your user | 17:49 |
| rinku_kokiri | mkquist, and i doubt that setting would fix any of my problems | 17:49 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold disregard that, it shows up when I try cat boot/grub/grub.cfg | 17:49 |
| === cmhamill is now known as shapoopy | ||
| Out_Cold | what shows up? | 17:49 |
| arvut | the problem is however, how could new VLC's pop up like that, playing a file that is stored on my external drive, and continue to do so even when I disconnected it? | 17:49 |
| rinku_kokiri | mkquist, cause i change it, i have NO sound... great fix | 17:49 |
| scott_ino2 | my screen blanks out for a 1-2seconds every 10-20 minutes(not screensaver related), don't think it's a hardware issue, anybody else experiencing this? | 17:50 |
| mkquist | rinku_kokiri: lol | 17:50 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold, Ichat,trojan_spike , Thanks! | 17:50 |
| sereal | how can I launch a command with -e in xterm and have it go into the background (like typing a command with & at the end of it ) | 17:50 |
| mibbed | Out_Cold I meant the windows 7 option, but it doesn't matter anymore | 17:50 |
| rinku_kokiri | I just wish canonical would TEST their os before releasing it | 17:50 |
| rinku_kokiri | ^^sarcasm | 17:50 |
| mibbed | hopefully won't be back later | 17:50 |
| arvut | scott_ino2: what monitor and graphics card do you have? | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | sereal: -e 'command &' perhaps? or make a script that does the command & and launch that instead | 17:51 |
| rinku_kokiri | I mean why leave in a problematic codec THROUGH 2 VERSIONS? | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: i suggest you read your EULA | 17:51 |
| rinku_kokiri | instead of fixing the problem, the "fix" is to uninstall? | 17:51 |
| scott_ino2 | arvut, acer monitor(can get you model if needed, using DVI) and ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3300 Graphics using the open source driver | 17:52 |
| vbwe | Mark partition as active what does that mean?? | 17:52 |
| arvut | k, I have some screen blackouts every now and then but its hw related to the monitor I have (hp w19b) | 17:52 |
| rinku_kokiri | ActionParsnip, this eula?? where? | 17:53 |
| arvut | they normally last for less than a second tho | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !eula | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !eula | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 17:53 |
| rinku_kokiri | that worked | 17:53 |
| rinku_kokiri | lol | 17:53 |
| chmod | !eula | 17:53 |
| chmod | it did. | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: basically the OS is open source, there is no SLA or integrity | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: if it breaks you get both pieces | 17:54 |
| arvut | scott_ino2: try scroogling your monitors model name, with something like "screen blackout" in the search | 17:54 |
| rinku_kokiri | is there a "thou shalt not complain" clause? | 17:54 |
| arvut | might give you a good answer | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: obviously devs strive for good results and such but there is no pressure on anyone involved to fix or do anything | 17:54 |
| rinku_kokiri | hence why my bug reports usually sit for 6-12 mos before being answered | 17:55 |
| scott_ino2 | arvut, thanks will do, was just wondering if it was a known thing | 17:55 |
| arvut | first approach is always to find out if others have had the same problem as you do | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: you can complain and log bugs but if they get attended or not is down to the devs etc | 17:55 |
| allure | !eula | 17:55 |
| vbwe | Mark partition as active what does that mean?? | 17:55 |
| Pici | allure: There is no !eula | 17:55 |
| rinku_kokiri | i kno, i'm just a bit annoyed that my sound had to be fixed out of the box | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vbwe: its a partition 'flag' | 17:55 |
| mibbed | that lasted | 17:55 |
| allure | ic | 17:55 |
| rinku_kokiri | what happened to "it just works" | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: they could just abandon the project if they wanted | 17:55 |
| vbwe | what does it mean? | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vbwe: normally windows has to boot from the 'active' partition. not sure if thats a limittaiin in vista/win7 or not. | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rinku_kokiri: in many cases it does | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | vbwe: its a flag that tells the bios to 'boot this partition first' or somthing like that.. not used much any more. | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vbwe: the active partition is the one looked on for boot info after the MBR is read | 17:56 |
| vbwe | oops i changed it to a wrong one | 17:56 |
| vbwe | and cant flag C: as active anymore | 17:57 |
| arvut | why is my aptitude (currently running an install run with new updates) not responding to ^C? it has been stuck at Unpacking replacement libasound2 ... for awhile now | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | with grub - i dont think the active partition matters.. not sure if it matters with win7 any more either | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | vbwe: c drive doesn't mean anything in linux | 17:57 |
| vbwe | i have windows 7 | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | vbwe: still means nothing, windows incorrectly names partitions, drives | 17:57 |
| vbwe | ah ke | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | vbwe: the windows partition will not be the active one, the linux one will and grub will then boot the windows partition | 17:58 |
| Buttons840 | there is a command which can be used to easily remove or add services to init - i've forgotten what this command was, but it was like config-init or init-config as best i can remember (though I'm obviously wrong since i can't find it)? | 17:58 |
| vbwe | ah i read the dual boot ubuntu but dont understand | 17:58 |
| vbwe | do i need to install somethnig? | 17:58 |
| jfroebe | Buttons840: update-rc.d IIRC | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | vbwe: the ubuntu install will install grub for you and handle the dual boot | 17:59 |
| chmod | Buttons840, update-rc.d service default | 17:59 |
| vbwe | ah oke | 17:59 |
| Buttons840 | jfroebe: yes, thank you | 17:59 |
| vbwe | i will now boot pc | 17:59 |
| vbwe | and install ubuntu | 17:59 |
| rinku_kokiri | so there's no fix to the problem | 17:59 |
| Buttons840 | is there a command which will list what services are currently enabled, or do i just need to look at the init directories? | 18:00 |
| noob-tux | is there a way i could change cdrom0 to a preferred name i want to be named on the device? if so...how? thanx | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | noob-tux: /dev/cdrom is just a link to the actual device. You could proberly make a link of your own name if you wanted. | 18:00 |
| trojan_spike | noob-tux, right click / properities / basic / name < | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | noob-tux: i dont see what you gain by having other names... | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: +1 | 18:01 |
| noob-tux | thanx | 18:01 |
| trojan_spike | oh,, it doesnt let you,, soz.. | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | noob-tux: the name is moot, you moust the device or use the given name as what you wish, you don't gain by a different name | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/moot | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | or did i get that backwards | 18:02 |
| trojan_spike | sys hardware | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: looks good to me :) | 18:02 |

| ActionParsnip | seeker60: what browser is currently used? | 18:05 |
| geoffmcc | seeker60: most browsers have import and export of favorites built right in | 18:05 |
| erUSUL | seeker60: $HOME/Music ? internet favorites; export them as html in windows ( firefox ) import them in the linux firefox | 18:05 |

| ActionParsnip | phuzion: just run: groups | 18:07 |

| goltoof | DR_Willis, i think my drive got corrupted somehow so I wanted to reformat. my problem is the livecd gives me errors and so does usb stick but different errors. idk if it's something on the HD that's keeping them from booting but it's weird. | 18:24 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: that way if dont detect a bootable img on usb will boot right to OS | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | goltoof: check dmesg output.. if it mentions IO errrs./. thats bad.. | 18:25 |
| goltoof | figured a proper reformat ahead of time would help | 18:25 |
| vbwe | or CD as second | 18:25 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: right- i forgot about cd - dont do much booting of cds once installed though, so i usually keep that off | 18:26 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: but it to your liking | 18:26 |
| goltoof | Dr_Willis, I backed up all my stuff with knoppix so i'm doing ok. now that it's all backed up i'll try to install and go from there | 18:26 |
| vbwe | oke thnx | 18:26 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: anytime | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis | goltoof: format it and watch dmesg output for any errors I guess. | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis | goltoof: perhaps try some other disk scan/verify tools also | 18:27 |
| vbwe | lol just made L: drive in win7 but in ubuntu it says dev/sda1 sdb lol dont know which one is the right one:P | 18:27 |
| goltoof | Dr_Willis, like what? | 18:27 |
| goltoof | Dr_Willis, I got some i/o errors... can't paste since it's on another machine | 18:28 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: if your dual booting it usually notices the win partion-- are u using 10.10? | 18:28 |
| nijan | Hello, this is a really weird problem, To connect to the internet i have to authenticate through this page: https://auth3.unipi.it/auth/perfigo_weblogin.jsp?cm=ws32vklm Using linux, no matter the browser or the distro, it idles forever and wont load nor return any errors. thanks a lot | 18:28 |

| TaunoT | I have installed Ubuntu on Win 7 which has 2 partitions, ubuntu has been installed on the second one and win 7 download folder is located at the partition that ubuntu is on. How do i reach it? | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | goltoof: i thought theres some sort of 'verify the disk' option in the boot menus. that would verify the files.. unless of course its so badly messed up that dont even work | 18:46 |
| xangua | rigved: there is !lubuntu for low resources | 18:46 |
| geoffmcc | goltoof: if disk not working and u made usb boot off image - my $ on bad image | 18:46 |
| trashbird1240 | Everything was working fine, then I restarted | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: i think theres some confusuin on what you are trying to do.. If you want a minimal desktop for a low end system. try the 'lubuntu-desktop' Its very handy. | 18:47 |
| rigved | xangua: ok. i'll check that. | 18:47 |
| trashbird1240 | After I enter my password and hit enter, the screen blanks and then returns me to the login screen (greeter) | 18:47 |
| vbwe | wow takes long | 18:47 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: just said ok -- to you saying u were uploading to let u know i still here | 18:47 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: if you want to use gnome, then you can disable compiz. that will disable the eyecandy. but still need more resources then lubuntu | 18:47 |
| goltoof | geoffmcc, yes, i just realized that | 18:47 |
| ace_steel | \exit | 18:48 |

| Dr_Willis | rigved: so disable compiz.. | 18:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: set desktop effects to 'none' or use 'metacity --replace' | 18:48 |

| blakkheim | rony_: cd | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !terminal | rony_ | 18:50 |
| ubottu | rony_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 18:50 |

| TaunoT | I have installed Ubuntu on Win 7 which has 2 partitions, ubuntu has been installed on the second one and win 7 download folder is located at the partition that ubuntu is on. How do i reach it? | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | rony_: spend a few min reading some command line tutorials.. the go for it. | 18:51 |
| philinux | TaunoT: Is this wubi? | 18:51 |
| TaunoT | yes | 18:51 |
| geoffmcc | TaunoT: windows does a pretty good job at hiding the ubuntu partition , i would boot into ubuntu put files on usb and then go windiows and change download folder to where should be in windows | 18:51 |
| philinux | TaunoT: Then there should be a menu at boot up to choose either OS | 18:52 |
| geoffmcc | TaunoT: sorry didnt see the wubi- that might be different | 18:52 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all! | 18:52 |
| vbwe | did the image work geoffmcc | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | WUBI can access the windows drives.. i was thinking it was allready setup that way. but i forget where. :) i recall looking this up on the wubi wiki pages for a guyy in here once. | 18:52 |
| rony_ | what is the command for explore my drive? | 18:52 |
| TaunoT | oh | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !wubi | 18:52 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 18:52 |
| TaunoT | currently i'm on ubuntu | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rony_: clarify what you mean by 'explore' | 18:52 |
| blakkheim | rony_: i just told you | 18:53 |

| vbwe | http://img836.imageshack.us/i/imageebt.jpg/ << wil it select here my extra partition of 20 gb that i created in win 7 | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | rony_: you need to be more clear. 'open the drive' has several meanings... | 18:54 |
| rigved | Dr_Willis: wait. there a problem with that. i cannot boot using the normal mode because my laptop does not support the default desktop effects. so everytime i have to boot into recovery mode, and run in the failsafe graphics mode - the only option i can select is run in low-end graphics mode only for this session only (that's low-end graphics mode with desktop effects disabled). so there is no way to set the graphics mode to "no desktop effects". i'l try me | 18:54 |
| rigved | tacity --replace. | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | rony_: if you mean 'start the gui file manager at a set location' the command is 'nautilus' | 18:54 |
| geoffmcc | vbwe: seem my pm | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: use the alt-cd to install if you wanted to not use the gui installer. | 18:55 |
| TaunoT | philinux: What i'm trying to do , is use contents of windows 7 download folder while running ubuntu (wubi). | 18:55 |
| blakkheim | TaunoT: just do a real install, don't bother with wubi | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: i dont know wht 'default' desktop effects you mean. Unless the thing has a issue with X due to its drivers. | 18:55 |
| sir_tyrion | Hi I did `sudo passwd` to change my password but the new pass doesn't unlock my gnome-keyring?!? Only my old password unlocks teh keyring | 18:55 |

| blakkheim | !repeat | sir_tyrion | 18:56 |
| ubottu | sir_tyrion: 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/ | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | rigved: and your video card is what exactly? | 18:56 |
| philinux | TaunoT: The Windows partition where you installed Wubi is available as /host within Ubuntu (places > computer > file system > host) All the other partitions will be available under places > removable media | 18:56 |
| TaunoT | Oh, wubi is not as good as clean install? | 18:56 |
| vbwe | with 10.10 install which device do i need to select for boot loader installation, windows 7 loader?? | 18:56 |

| eurythmia | deepinferno: the general answer is that it appears to be the hexidecimal representation of 15 bytes. | 19:13 |

| vbwe | Dr_Willis http://img836.imageshack.us/i/imageebt.jpg/ is this the way to select that partition ? | 19:13 |

| goltoof | petan, what should i check? | 19:38 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: It might have something to do with the fact that your drive does not have a partition table, which is rather odd and likely not tested very much. | 19:38 |
| petan | goltoof check if you have permision to mount drives | 19:38 |
| JohnHeikkila | killerkristin1: So do I need to reboot or restart my wireless for the changes to take place? | 19:38 |

| JohnHeikkila | killerkristin1: Yeah, I've tried all the if- and iwconfig commands | 19:40 |
| Scunizi | fizzlefish: install smbfs/cifs first as a test | 19:40 |
| petan | goltoof: check if there is permission to mount | 19:40 |
| ANTRat | ls -lrt | 19:40 |
| fadein | bleu_: let me understand you: when you ran "gnome-session" from the recovery console, it logged you into gnome? | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | petan: But it certainly does not have a partition table, which may break some assumptions made by the auto mounter. | 19:41 |
| petan | Jordan_U: why do you think that | 19:41 |
| goltoof | petan, i'm the only user.. not clear where to check for mount perms | 19:41 |
| killerkristin1 | JohnHeikkila: I am not sure then sorry | 19:41 |
| bleu_ | fadein: i exited the terminal, loged in under safe mode | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: It's possible to make a partition after the fact without reformatting the drive completely, but not easy. | 19:41 |
| petan | goltoof: open your account and then groups or permission then look there | 19:41 |
| gianni | j #ubuntu-it | 19:42 |
| bleu_ | fadein: and in that file you are asking about the part where exec is it says gnome desktop | 19:42 |
| fadein | bleu_: yeah, that's the name of the program that the login screen should run after it checks your password | 19:42 |
| goltoof | petan, yes, looking.. not clear... but still looking :) | 19:42 |
| petan | Jordan_U: why you think it does not have partition? it is unneccessary auto mount works for drives like that | 19:42 |
| fadein | bleu_: so I'm just asking you to run it manually to see if it gives an error message in the recovery console | 19:42 |
| Jordan_U | petan: He does not have any sdb1, only sdb. And since he can mount "sdb" directly it means that he has no partition table, just a filesystem starting at the beginning of the drive. | 19:43 |
| bleu_ | fadein: oh | 19:43 |
| fadein | bleu_: otherwise, if it's erroring out, it's probably just throwing the output away | 19:43 |
| bleu_ | let me try to run that from the terminal | 19:43 |
| petan | Jordan_U: it is flash drive those are formated like that it is ok | 19:43 |
| goltoof | petan, maybe i should check with cli instead | 19:44 |
| petan | goltoof: if you open user panel and open your account what is there | 19:44 |
| petan | goltoof: some tab like permission do you see it | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | petan: Some flash drives are formatted this way, but most aren't (and I personally think none should be). While the automounter should still work reliably in this case I wouldn't be surprised if this case isn't tested very often. | 19:44 |

| Herpaderp | Hello. I have been using my ext. hdd for a year or two now, but this just happened. It is named 'Elements' and now when it connects it appears as 'Elements_', while there is an entry for 'Elements' that is unreadable in my /media folder. How do I fix this issue? | 20:03 |
| fadein | bleu_: what directory is it trying to read? did you try to create that directory to see if that appeases it? | 20:04 |
| lwizardl | metaphaze, yeah its a design i want for my linux cctv setup | 20:04 |
| fadein | bleu_: about your 2nd question - I don't know what you're talking about... sorry | 20:04 |
| bleu_ | fadein: var/pd0 or something | 20:04 |
| vbwe | can someone help me how i can change the grud list | 20:04 |

| CaneToad | does anybody know how to use skype with a usb phone on ubuntu with pulse audio | 20:05 |
| metaphaze | not the way I wanted to but it worked | 20:05 |
| bleu_ | fadein: it shows the device but it doesnt seem to connect | 20:05 |
| fadein | bleu_: Actually, you may want to sudo apt-get install fluxbox, or blackbox, just to get a working desktop in the meantime | 20:05 |
| Jordan_U | vbwe: Add something like GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" to /etc/default/grub, change the timeout to what you want in the same file, then run "sudo update-grub". | 20:05 |
| bleu_ | fadein: dont i need internet to get them? | 20:06 |
| fadein | bleu_: You are correct. I understand now. | 20:06 |

| vbwe | but cant fix problem | 20:16 |
| lock | hmmm | 20:16 |

| sylvar | How very weird. When I connect to the work VPN, I can no longer get to Gmail... but other Google services (docs, calendar) work fine. This appears to affect Chrome and Firefox, so I'm guessing it's happening below the app level. | 20:16 |

| enyc | [ok] | 20:18 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: If you had deleted Windows 7' boot partition data and not the partition itself you might had no problem at all. Now partition numbers maybe have changed and that might be the problem | 20:18 |
| Jordan_U | vbwe: Can you boot a liveCD and run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? | 20:18 |

| Bink_ | hey, is anyone here familiar with burg? (boot loader based on grub) | 20:32 |
| Jordan_U | Bink_: BURG is not supported here. | 20:32 |
| guntbert | Bink_: I don't think it is supported here - but I may err | 20:33 |
| Bink_ | Jordan_U, well that's not very nice :| | 20:33 |
| Bink_ | er well, kind of sick with working on it anyways.. guess i'll do with the ugly grub. | 20:33 |
| anadon | how do I switch to the programming channel? | 20:33 |
| rigved | Bink_: it's actually because ubuntu does not use burg by default | 20:34 |
| rigved | anadon: are you using empathy? | 20:34 |
| anadon | yup | 20:34 |
| LogicallyDashing | I have two mice; one is a trackball. I would like to configure the trackball so that it scrolls the document, like the ball in Apple's Mighty Mouse, letting the regular mouse act as normal. How do I do this? | 20:34 |
| Jordan_U | Bink_: You can use themes with grub2, and could before BURG existed. | 20:34 |
| anadon | I also have xchat, not not on it | 20:34 |
| rigved | anadon: click on room > join | 20:35 |
| Bink_ | Jordan_U, the theme support on grub2 is quite poor.. and other people seem to have no problem with burg | 20:35 |
| rigved | anadon: then type ##programming | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | Bink_: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/ | 20:35 |
| anadon | can't find anything labeled room | 20:35 |
| Bink_ | rigved, as i said, others seem to have no problem with it | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | Bink_: BURG is a one person fork of GRUB2, and so it can't reasonably be included or supported by Ubuntu. | 20:36 |
| rigved | i have ubuntu 10.04. how do i make grub2 load into recovery mode by default (instead of loading into the normal mode)? | 20:36 |

| adrian15 | vbwe: So you want to recover the linux partiton ? You should use gpart then. You can find it at system rescue cd if I remember ok | 20:47 |
| trimatrix | back up and reinstall ubuntu it has happened to me before but my default language was spanish and i couldnt read the error | 20:47 |
| vbwe | adrian15 system rescue cd??? | 20:47 |
| harrymuffin | is there another way other than do-release-upgrade? | 20:47 |
| harrymuffin | this is on a pretty busy production server | 20:47 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: If the partitions have not been modified you can also recover windows 7 boot partition with gpart | 20:47 |
| harrymuffin | that is about 4,000 miles away from me | 20:48 |
| vbwe | how | 20:48 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: Yes, system rescue cd, I suppose you might also find the tool in ubuntu rescue remix | 20:48 |
| vbwe | gpart in try ubuntu wont start | 20:48 |

| vbwe | ? | 20:49 |
| samosa | right now im using my phone to tether wifi internet connection | 20:49 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: No, no, the ubuntu live usb is ok. In a console type apt-get install gpart | 20:49 |
| vbwe | terminal ? | 20:50 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: With the sudo command of course: sudo apt-get install gpart . Then you will have to use sudo gpart. | 20:50 |
| acstewart | Anyone else having issues with apt-get in Intrepid? Shows 404s, and it looks like archive.ubuntu.com is missing intrepid package info. | 20:50 |

| blakkheim | !intrepid | acstewart | 20:50 |
| ubottu | acstewart: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 20:50 |
| acstewart | harrymuffin: cool. | 20:50 |
| vbwe | package is not avaible | 20:50 |
| blakkheim | acstewart: it is not supported anymore | 20:50 |
| vbwe | package gpart is not avaible | 20:50 |
| vbwe | package 'gpart' has no installation candidate | 20:51 |
| blakkheim | vbwe: gparted | 20:51 |
| harrymuffin | acstewart: change your /etc/apt/sources-list to use this server/format: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse | 20:51 |
| vbwe | gparted is already the newest version | 20:51 |
| harrymuffin | mutagen :P | 20:51 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: Ignore blakkheim's gparted recommendation. You need gpart. I will try to search for the ubuntu repository where it is, maybe universe | 20:51 |
| y-pwn | my favorite release after 10.10 and 10.04 is hardy heron | 20:52 |
| trimatrix | whats the difference between hardy and gusty? | 20:52 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: You need to enable the universe repository. There are supposed to be several easy howtos on how to do that in ubuntu. After that sudo apt-get install part. And then sudo gpart . | 20:52 |
| acstewart | harrymuffin: Thanks, that'll help :) | 20:53 |
| vbwe | how do i enable it? | 20:53 |
| odt | is there an alternative for wicd for managing wireless without running X? | 20:53 |
| adrian15 | !add-repository | 20:53 |
| blakkheim | odt: wicd has an ncurses interface that doesn't need X | 20:54 |
| odt | but it uses python | 20:54 |
| odt | and that's too much memory on my old laptop | 20:54 |
| vbwe | ok | 20:54 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: Google for add ubuntu repository | 20:54 |
| vbwe | what do i need to add | 20:55 |
| vbwe | try doesnt have software sources | 20:57 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: | 20:57 |
| ianm_ | in 10.04 the synaptics touchpad Y cursor speed is much higher than X when using multiple screens, it's as if the cursor moves a % of the total screen X/Y, instead of a number of pixels, is this fixed in 10.10? | 20:57 |
| kv102t | anyone got a EasyCAP AV USB2.0 working ?? | 20:57 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: (Sorry). Try something like gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list and try comment an universe line or something like this | 20:58 |
| adrian15 | vbwe: It might be even easier than using Synaptic or Software Sources I suppose | 20:58 |
| ianm_ | er I mean X movement much faster than Y, when the screens are side by side | 20:58 |

| Belial` | n0a1ias, system, administration, additional drivers. if fglrx isn't listed there, then ati's proprietary linux driver doesn't support your card anymore. in which case you're already using the open source radeon drivers. | 21:11 |

| vbwe | im installing unetbootin | 21:39 |
| n0a1ias | lol notk0 | 21:39 |
| vbwe | im installing unetbootin afterwards do i need to boot my pc with usb? | 21:39 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: I'm not sure about the script for reinstalling all your programs, but the programs you've grabbed already will be in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory if you want to back them up for quick reinstall later. | 21:39 |
| Flannel | goltoof: you're already in the admin group. | 21:39 |
| uLinux | n0a1ias: i think you can do that using Synaptic | 21:39 |
| Flannel | goltoof: You need to use sudo to mount | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | vbwe: If you can already boot the machine in question and "Try Ubuntu" then you do not need unetbootin at all. | 21:40 |

| goltoof | Flannel, and startup disk creator won't let me do anything with the disk that i sudo mounted | 21:43 |
| bazhang | habs, /join #channel | 21:43 |
| Flannel | goltoof: Are you doing this on the command line? or in a GUI? | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | Flannel: My guess is that the problem is that that disk in question has no partition table, it simply has a filesystem spanning the entire drive. | 21:43 |
| anadon_Aeroheart | why'd my status thing for this look like a warning? | 21:43 |

| n0a1ias | http://imgur.com/MJgNG littlegirl | 21:44 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: Looking... | 21:44 |
| goltoof | Flannel, I'm fine with making the startup disk with cli if anyone knows how.... i'm sick of being stuck on this | 21:44 |
| Flannel | goltoof: GNOME does its own thing with USB drives, which is why they mount automagically when you plug them in. | 21:44 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: I doubt that Startup Disk Creator supports not having a partition table. | 21:45 |
| goltoof | Flannel, but you can see them in cl too.... now i can see in cl, have to mount manually | 21:45 |
| goltoof | Jordan_U, i want to reformat the disk... startup disk creator gives me "No authority" when attempting to reformat | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: "sudo umount /dev/sdb" | 21:46 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: Try putting sh and a space in front of ati............run <--- I didn't type out the whole thing. (: | 21:46 |
| goltoof | Jordan_U, k.. | 21:46 |
| arvut | what do one do when apt and all other updaters fail cause there is a lock on something dpkg related? | 21:47 |

| progre55 | hi guys. how do you create an "extended" partition while installing ubuntu? I have 4 primary windows partitions, and as that's the max number of partitions, I'm deleting one of the recovery partitions. Then everywhere I read, they say you need to create an extended partition and that it can include swap in it.. but which options is that? | 21:48 |
| n0a1ias | i love you littlegirl | 21:48 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: LOL. (: | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | n0a1ias: To install ATI drivers use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 21:48 |
| goltoof | Jordan_U, what would i do next to reformat a disk after i unmount it... remount it.... god i want to get this done already! | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | n0a1ias: Do *not* try to install them manually. | 21:48 |
| arvut | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 21:48 |
| n0a1ias | Jordan_U that wasn't working | 21:48 |
| arvut | is this solvable without a reboot? | 21:48 |
| littlegirl | Jordan_U: n0a1ias is having an odd error when trying to install them graphically. | 21:48 |
| progre55 | n0a1ias: that's a bad idea.. | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: Unmount it, then start Startup Disk Creator again. | 21:48 |
| ElNota | arvut: Yes, close Synaptic, Update-manager, or any apt-get process | 21:49 |
| arvut | ElNota: they are not running | 21:49 |
| littlegirl | Jordan_U: This is the error n0a1ias gets: http://i.imgur.com/zK0gy.png | 21:49 |
| ElNota | ar0nic: Check it in System-monitor | 21:49 |
| arvut | it all started when I forcequit aptitude as it was not responding to ^c or ^z | 21:50 |
| goltoof | Jordan_U, device busy when trying to unmount | 21:50 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: But your initial problem hasn't been solved, so you'll still want to track that down and fix it. (: | 21:50 |
| n0a1ias | yea, googleing now | 21:50 |
| arvut | I was running an install run and it kinda hanged up on "Unpacking Replacement libasound2" | 21:50 |
| n0a1ias | but at least i have not shitty resolution littlegirl | 21:51 |
| guntbert | !language | n0a1ias | 21:51 |
| ubottu | n0a1ias: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:51 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: The best I was able to find out with Google so far is that you should pick the correct resolution, but that won't solve an issue with all text files, and you had it automatically detecting, which should have worked. | 21:51 |
| n0a1ias | my B, guntbert | 21:51 |
| arvut | the !aptfix doesnt work either | 21:52 |
| n0a1ias | yea, maybe i should just download all the resolutions i can? | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: Make sure there aren't any terminals open that are cd'd to a directory on the drive. | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | goltoof: Or any files open from that drive. | 21:52 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: I don't think you need to. You should just be able to define them in the config file, shouldn't you? I'm not familiar with ATI, though, since I use NVIDIA. (: | 21:52 |
| arvut | goltoof: or any programs writing data to it ;) | 21:53 |
| n0a1ias | ok ill give it a shot, thanks littlegirl | 21:53 |
| goltoof | i don't know if there are any ubuntu forum admins here, but seiously why do you bother showing posts back from 2006? do you realize those are almost always the first things to show up in google and how frustrating it makes googling? | 21:53 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: Good luck. Setting up video is never a completely gentle thing, but it sounds like you're well on your way. (: | 21:53 |
| progre55 | so, anybody knows how to create an "extended partition"? | 21:53 |
| arvut | how is that relevant to this channel? | 21:53 |
| n0a1ias | also, i have to ask, are you actually a little girl? littlegirl | 21:54 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: No, I'm a gull grown woman. (: | 21:54 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: Full, that is. (: | 21:54 |

| littlegirl | guntbert perhaps you can help me with my support request. | 21:56 |
| arvut | is it perhaps in some nautilus config file? | 21:56 |
| Grant_EH | not entirely sure but think it is most likely somewhere in gconf | 21:57 |

| Grant_EH | Nope, been peeking in the Nautilus conf schemas but nothing there about context menu | 22:05 |
| guntbert | arvut: then try with fuser | 22:05 |
| arvut | what does that do? | 22:05 |
| littlegirl | n0a1ias: Is it another file? If so, unless it has special instructions (from wherever you got it). then you should be able to run it the same way you ran the other one, by putting sh and a space in front of the complete file name. (: | 22:05 |

| ubottu | Nertil: 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 | 22:15 |

| sjm | n0a1ias, you can type in the first few letters and then <tab> and it will complete as much as it can of the command | 22:29 |
| n0a1ias | also, i redid the command with a 10 instad of a 9 | 22:29 |

| Lin | Do partition in windows first??? | 22:38 |
| edbian | Lin It's likely that the NTFS partition has errors on it. If so then the system refuses to resize it. Try running chkdsk in windows first. | 22:38 |

| ZykoticK9 | FreddyStrauss, I'd recommend you open a terminal and try running "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo-apt-get upgrade" and see if that is successful - running those 2 commands will update your system. If you get an error message, perhaps posting it to Pastebin would be helpful. | 22:45 |

| SorayaUbuntu | ZykoticK9, thanks,i read a little about it but didnt mention that part,it did says that will not remove configurations yn home | 22:48 |

| Eventyret | VirusTB: TestDisk | 22:49 |
| vbwe | why install-mbr package is not in ubuntu! | 22:49 |
| ubunrtwgold | how install dvb-t firmware in fedora core | 22:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | SorayaUbuntu, that's why i used the /etc for the example, as you correctly state - it won't touch home directory stuff. | 22:49 |
| VirusTB | VirusTB: Mac? for a mac? | 22:49 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 22:49 |
| ubunrtwgold | my card no works sucks | 22:50 |
| ubunrtwgold | linuix no good for dvb cards | 22:50 |
| arvut | hmm, I'm havig problems moving windows across my 6 desktops (using compiz with a nice hexagonal sphere) | 22:50 |
| jiohdi | truecrypt seems to be saying it encrypts an entire volume, will it work for individual files? | 22:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubunrtwgold, if you are using fedora you should visit their support channel(s) - this is ubuntu only support | 22:51 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: well i droped it :( and it seems that the disc doesnt eben spin anymore :S | 22:51 |
| arvut | it works to move them clockwise all the way around, but not counterclockwise | 22:51 |
| goltoof | jihodi, why bother? tar | 22:51 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: oh >< | 22:51 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: internal or external drive ? | 22:51 |
| jiohdi | goltoof: tar? | 22:51 |
| ubunrtwgold | zykotick9 not i know yes or not | 22:51 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: :S its not my HDD thats the worse part | 22:51 |
| littlegirl | Akuma_s: The more pages I read in those results, the worse it looks. Even if that drive is behaving normally right now, I would assume it's about to fail and make sure you have it backed up and a replacement ready. ): | 22:51 |
| Akuma_s | littlegirl, I have 3 partitions in the same HDD with... | 22:52 |
| littlegirl | Akuma_s: Are they backed up? | 22:52 |
| ubunrtwgold | help | 22:52 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: ts an external 120GB, connects via USB | 22:52 |

| ubunrtwgold | not work | 22:52 |

| ubunrtwgold | help me | 22:53 |
| ubunrtwgold | bad sof | 22:53 |
| Akuma_s | Thanks anyway for the support littlegirl | 22:53 |
| Akuma_s | I will try that | 22:53 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: what do u mean?... its USB, ithink its not SSD because its size is 120GB | 22:53 |
| Eventyret | ubunrtwgold: ? What you need ? | 22:53 |
| littlegirl | Akuma_s: I wish it had been better news, but better safe than sorry. Then once you have it backed up you can try stuff and maybe rescue it. (: | 22:53 |
| goltoof | jihodi, or aescrypt. or truecrypt is fine but you can encrypt with tar also | 22:54 |
| ubunrtwgold | work my card! | 22:54 |

| littlegirl | ubunrtwgold: http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php | 22:57 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: well it doesnt sound like the disc is spinning, and when i plug it in, it doensmt mount automatically | 22:57 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: pen??0_o | 22:57 |
| sjm | is it group writable? then put yourself (admin) in the www-data group and you should be able to manage the file. | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | FreddyStrauss, i have no idea man - we don't have much to work on with just an "operation failed" message, that could be anything. Could you pastebin the output from a terminal window? It would help the channel | 22:57 |
| edbian | igor85, Ask in the Debian channel on irc.oftc.net | 22:57 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: well get a USB pen and boot up a livecd ? | 22:57 |
| sjm | peepz, is it group writable? then put yourself (admin) in the www-data group and you should be able to manage the file. | 22:58 |
| igor85 | thank you | 22:58 |
| peepz | sjm: oh so I can put admin in the www-data group? i didnt know that was possible..how can I do that? | 22:58 |

| HaPK_PerCar | I'm having problems with sound on my laptop... sound come right on the speakers, but nothing for headphones, even if I plug them in! I installed the alsa drivers backports to solve this, but now it won't work! I recently made an update and installed my ethernet card driver... | 23:03 |

| littlegirl | ubunrtwgold: How about this one: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/59-ubuntu-xbmc | 23:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | FreddyStrauss, my recommendation is close USC open a terminal and try running "sudo apt-get -f install" to try and fix and broken/failed installation attempts. | 23:04 |
| ubunrtwgold | thanks littlegirl | 23:04 |
| arvut | why is aptitude not doing anything after "Unpacking replacement libasound2 ..."? | 23:04 |
| FreddyStrauss | <ZykoticK9> but the installation WORKS, it is just that it tells me it didnt, but it always works... | 23:04 |
| FreddyStrauss | so there is a bug | 23:04 |
| littlegirl | ubunrtwgold: I'm not sure it will work, but it's one of the pages I found when I put the name of your card in. (: | 23:04 |
| arvut | it seems to have stopped working | 23:04 |
| ubunrtwgold | ok | 23:05 |
| ubunrtwgold | i looking it | 23:05 |
| plob | sjm> thank you | 23:05 |
| peepz | sjm: I ran your command..I still cant set the permissions :* | 23:06 |
| peepz | :( | 23:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | peepz, did you log out and back in (required for group changes) | 23:06 |
| peepz | oh let me try | 23:07 |
| peepz | actually i set that being logged on as root | 23:07 |
| peepz | and after that I logged in as admin | 23:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | peepz, from a terminal you can check with the "groups" command | 23:07 |
| RussR | I need help! I accidently formatted a windows external HD with ubuntu. Is there any way to recover the data or un-format the drive? | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | RussR: What did you do precisely? | 23:08 |
| peepz | oh..I am in the www-data group! | 23:08 |
| HaPK_PerCar | please people, I have problems with sound... it won't come out through my headphones | 23:08 |
| ubunrtwgold | russr super boot grub is solution | 23:08 |
| peepz | hold on..www-data does not have permissions to change file permission right? it shouldt have? | 23:08 |
| RussR | Jordan, I was installing ubuntu on what I thought was a new HD but unfortunately I had an ext plugged in and it installed there instead | 23:09 |
| peepz | sjm im confused..i just want to have the ability to change the permissions on my home folder files that are of owner www-data:www-data | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | RussR: There is no way to "unformat" then. You may be able to recover some files with photorec. | 23:10 |
| ubunrtwgold | i was intalling 3 OS in hd thanks a supergrubdisk i saved | 23:10 |
| RussR | I did that, however it renamed all the files | 23:10 |
| captkirk | peepz: only the owner of a file can change the permissions | 23:10 |
| peepz | yes..so back to my initial qustion:) | 23:11 |
| RussR | is there a way torecover data and keep the original file names? | 23:11 |
| peepz | captkirk: when applications running on my web server downloads files on its own the ownership gets set to www-data:www-data .. how can I force it to be set to admin:www-data? | 23:11 |
| ubunrtwgold | normally mater boot firs partition needs windows :) | 23:11 |
| ubunrtwgold | with reload | 23:11 |
| Jordan_U | RussR: No. | 23:11 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: an live cd, hw do i instal an RC client | 23:11 |

| SkiingPenguins | how can i install ubuntu to a usb drive and partition it so that i have some space that windows can access? | 23:12 |
| RussR | I did get EnCase Forensic and it would do it, but now being a linux drive it does not see the drive | 23:12 |
| starn | can anyone help me with this i'm using mutt http://pastebin.com/iFpPALBH | 23:13 |
| captkirk | peepz: I don't know if you can, since ownership can only be changed root | 23:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | SkiingPenguins, carefully ;) - FYI the last step of install has an "advanced" (or similar wording) that allows you to install grub onto the USB instead of the first HD (may be important!) Best of luck. | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | SkiingPenguins: How big is the drive, and do you plan to use it as a full install (installing new applications, keeping up to date, etc) or just as a basic live system? | 23:13 |
| VirusTB | how do i install an IRC client from terminal on a live CD? | 23:14 |
| arvut | how long should it take to install libasound2? | 23:14 |
| Flannel | VirusTB: which IRC client? | 23:14 |

| SkiingPenguins | Jordan_U: it is an 8gb, and i would like a full install | 23:14 |
| peepz | then how do web servers work? how can they download plugins through wordpress and then login through ftp and change permissions..it has to be possible | 23:15 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: or use irssi xD | 23:15 |
| captkirk | peepz: Not unless y ou have something running as root which does the chown'ing | 23:15 |
| ubunrtwgold | russr you are fuck | 23:15 |

| xeno | Cannot ^C out of Ping. Someone please bug this! | 23:32 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: that must suck :(, i appreciate your help thus far :) (but please dont leave me here ) | 23:32 |
| arvut | gah!! why is aptitude not working? | 23:32 |
| surdle | Im using ciscoannyconnecto to connect to an ssl vpn. The client says I supposedly have a new ip, but when I go to ipchicken.com it shows my old ip. Does this mean the vpn isnt working or is it normal to have your same public ip,? thanks | 23:32 |
| arvut | its been more or less idle for an hour now | 23:32 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: i wont :) - Besides you got plenty of others that mgiht be of any assistance :P | 23:33 |
| arvut | xeno: and I cannot ^C out of aptitude | 23:33 |
| IdleOne | arvut: try a sudo apt-get -f install | 23:34 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: thats true. but i got your full attention already .... cd @ 58% burnt | 23:34 |
| IdleOne | arvut: after killing aptitude that is. | 23:34 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: fine il go read some news xD Lemme know when its ready then =D | 23:34 |
| arvut | IdleOne: how would I do that when aptitude is running but not responding to ^C? | 23:34 |
| arvut | right | 23:34 |
| myk_robinson | Is there a way to get banshee to refresh the video library? | 23:34 |
| arvut | heard ^z is another way to close it, but that doesn't work either | 23:35 |
| arvut | I could forcequit it like I did earlier and delete the lock | 23:35 |
| IdleOne | arvut: there ya go | 23:36 |
| surdle | Im using ciscoannyconnecto to connect to an ssl vpn. The client says I supposedly have a new ip, but when I go to ipchicken.com it shows my old ip. Does this mean the vpn isnt working or is it normal to have your same public ip,? thanks | 23:36 |
| arvut | I don't see it as a valid solution tho, I wanna know why it's acting this way | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | surdle: That means the VPN is not being used. | 23:36 |

| IdleOne | arvut: don't know why but I guess there is a package it is trying to install and it is stuck somewhere | 23:36 |
| arvut | might be, is there a log I can view with error details? | 23:37 |
| arvut | I need more tea | 23:37 |

| xim_ | are their any keyloggers for ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| arvut | how is that supportrelated? | 23:38 |
| edbian | xim_, Of course. | 23:39 |
| IsleVegan | i am having some kind of password disparity on a new install of ubuntu server 10.10 | 23:39 |
| IsleVegan | i installed ubuntu-desktop on top | 23:39 |
| IsleVegan | but synaptic doesn't like the password i used | 23:39 |
| edbian | xim_, Can they be installed on your system without your knowledge (almost definitely not) | 23:40 |
| IsleVegan | even though it works in other areas | 23:40 |
| qpop | Hi all | 23:40 |
| Some_Person | IsleVegan: Synaptic doesn't use a password. Do you mean that sudo isn't accepting your password? | 23:40 |
| plainas | ok, so i have this 6 year old laptop on which i want to install ubuntu server edition or maybe Lubuntu, problem is, once i pick the language and choose 'install' it loads the graphical installer.. which for some reason does not get properly diplayed in the screen i am using | 23:40 |
| xim_ | edbian, i am looking for one to intentionally install do you know of a good one, with legit install/removability (ie not an infection) | 23:40 |
| plainas | i got told in this very irc chanel that ubuntu server edition comes with a text base installer | 23:41 |
| plainas | *based | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | plainas: How much RAM do you have? | 23:41 |
| edbian | xim_, I do not. Search synaptic for "keylogger" | 23:41 |
| plainas | 512 | 23:41 |
| edbian | xim_, A keylogger is just a keyboard driver that also records the keystrokes. | 23:41 |
| Some_Person | plainas: The ubuntu alternate CD also uses a text-based installer, but it installs the normal desktop version | 23:41 |
| maco | xim_: if you want a definitely-removable keylogger, why not get a hardware one? just unplug it when you're done | 23:41 |
| xim_ | edbian, yeah tried that, no dice. i am a writer and this morning i lost text in a crashed browser window for the very last time | 23:42 |
| xim_ | maco, i have seen those, would love one but they are pricey | 23:42 |
| IdleOne | plainas: the server cd does use a text install, why you are getting a graphical install I don't know | 23:42 |
| edbian | xim_, Ha, very clever idea. | 23:42 |
| plainas | ok... the question is: server edition, is it possible to install in text mode? | 23:42 |
| plainas | (windows xp runs perfectly on this computer) | 23:42 |

| arvut | IdleOne: no errors in the log actually, just the same rubbish I got in the terminal | 23:43 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: 99% and failure oO ? | 23:43 |
| IdleOne | arvut: try sudo apt-get -f install see what happens | 23:43 |
| IsleVegan | when i try to go into synaptic from the System menu, it does not like my password. when i go from the command line sudo synaptic, it accepts the password | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | plainas: If you are seeing a graphical installer then you are not booting from the server CD. | 23:43 |
| maco | xim_: i would do the writing in a normal application instead of browser and save often | 23:43 |
| Some_Person | plainas: Are you sure you're using the server install CD? It shouldn't have a graphical installer | 23:43 |
| maco | xim_: if it was a blog thing, i like blogilo for that | 23:43 |

| BlueMatt | is there a way to change the encoding quality of rhythmbox when it encodes for an ipod from terrible sounding 113k/s mp3 to something better say 320? | 23:44 |
| edbian | xim_, What you need is a more stable distro IMHO. | 23:44 |

| Gunni | i have a machine running ubuntu server 10.04 should i /can i upgrade it to 10.10? | 23:44 |
| IdleOne | Gunni: do you need to? | 23:44 |
| arvut | IdleOne: seems to get stuck at the same line :( I'm doomed!! | 23:44 |
| sosaited | I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on Dell Inspiron via USB. I made the USB with Unetboot in via alternate ISo. After language selection it gives a cd error. I tried editing the boot command to include cdrom-detect/try-usb=true but it didnt work | 23:44 |
| Gunni | need, not neccecarely but isnt the newest better? | 23:44 |
| IdleOne | arvut: what is it you are trying to install in the first place? | 23:44 |
| sxdemon | hey, there is a problem when I try to use ubuntu 10.04 32bit live CD.....pc screen goes black after loading the UI, no more signal and cpu fans goes on heavy duty. It always do that. Any idea? | 23:44 |
| plainas | mmmm i'm not sure where the border is set... but for example... the language selection... how does it looks like in server edition? | 23:44 |
| arvut | just updates | 23:45 |
| edbian | Gunni, Not always. The older versions are supported for a while (which basically means they get security patches) If anything older is more stable and more (or equally) secure. | 23:45 |
| IdleOne | Gunni: not always. 10.04 server will be supported another 3.5 years or so. | 23:45 |
| plainas | also, now that i think about it... it does say have all the options of server instalations on the menu | 23:45 |
| VirusTB | Eventyret: restartting | 23:45 |
| Gunni | oh well i'll keep this one then | 23:45 |
| plainas | then when i choose for example "instal ubuntu server edition" the screen gets all messed up and i can't see anything | 23:45 |
| Eventyret | VirusTB: Alright =) | 23:46 |
| arvut | it gets stuck at "Unpacking replacement libasound2 ..." everytime I try to update (there is obviously some new update to this lib | 23:46 |
| xim_ | obviously typing in a more stable program is better, but i type in all kinds of programs for different things, not just one. also this particular time it wasnt actually a crash i closed the wrong browser tab, but a keylogger like i used to be l337 with when i was 10 would be a quick solution to a keyboard buffer | 23:46 |
| IdleOne | Gunni: you can upgrade if you want to but I don't see a reason to, 10.04 still has a lot of life left to it | 23:46 |
| Gunni | yeah but i am just configuring it before going live, thought about upgrading before it did | 23:46 |

| tonsofpcs | w1n5ton: reformat would make sure... | 23:47 |
| arvut | w1n5ton: vnc & ssh | 23:47 |
| Gunni | k will do | 23:47 |
| tonsofpcs | err, wessel ^^ | 23:47 |
| tonsofpcs | w1n5ton: that wasn't for you, sorry | 23:47 |
| w1n5ton | vnc? | 23:47 |
| edbian | w1n5ton, using ssh and port-forwarding | 23:47 |
| arvut | !info vnc | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Package vnc does not exist in maverick | 23:47 |
| tonsofpcs | w1n5ton: VNC + ssh with port forwarding is :) | 23:47 |

| wessel | tonsofpcs, I never reinstalled something before on linux | 23:48 |
| tonsofpcs | wessel: me neither | 23:48 |
| wessel | I have only used sudo apt get install my file | 23:48 |
| IdleOne | arvut: try purging libasound2 then reinstalling it | 23:48 |
| tonsofpcs | wessel: you could dpkg reconfigure [blah] | 23:48 |
| tonsofpcs | vnc is not secure, ssh is. You make VNC secure by creating a secure shell (ssh) tunnel, then run the vnc over it, rather than exposing vnc to the outside world | 23:49 |
| Tylerjd | fireygod: is the DVD getting mounted? | 23:49 |
| wessel | well my eclipse is behaving weird, I would like to make a clean install, so I'm sure I can rule out any settings that I changed | 23:49 |
| arvut | IdleOne: maybe I should just deselect that package and see if it updates the rest (15 other updates that is) | 23:49 |
| IdleOne | arvut: yup, try that | 23:49 |
| wessel | ah so the the command to reinstall is called reconfigure! :D | 23:49 |
| fierygod | Tylerjd: no it will not mount, either with or without a disk | 23:49 |
| tonsofpcs | wessel: apt-get remove [blah], apt-get clean, apt-get install [blah] iirc, but that doesn't guarantee settings reset. dpkg reconfigure resets settings (if the package was made right) | 23:50 |
| Bilz | hello, i seem to have broken the touchpad mouse on my laptop. i turned it off and now it won't turn back on again, even after a restart. ideas? ubuntu 10.04 | 23:50 |

| fierygod | Over the last week and a half since installing 10.04 I have been using the terminal almost nonstop lol | 23:51 |
| IdleOne | arvut: rm the lock file | 23:51 |
| edbian | arvut, You have another instance of the package manager running | 23:51 |
| edbian | fierygod, I am not on my machine without having a terminal open | 23:51 |
| IdleOne | or what edbian said | 23:51 |
| edbian | w1n5ton, First install ssh and get that working. Then worry about vnc. | 23:52 |
| edbian | w1n5ton, sudo apt-get install openssh-server (on the server) | 23:52 |
| sharkbyte | hello | 23:52 |
| arvut | nope, killed it and removed the lock at /var/lib/dpkg/lock as I did earlier | 23:52 |
| edbian | w1n5ton, Additionally, set up ssh on your LAN first, the worry about connecting over the internet. | 23:52 |
