| shcherbak | g_: conky | 00:00 |

| Agent_Smith | jpds: To re-enter play after being killed. | 00:01 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay, are you on a laptop or a desktop style computer? | 00:01 |
| r007 | Agent_Smith kill xinet.d and then stop ssh | 00:01 |
| Agent_Smith | jpds: lol ... like in counter strike | 00:01 |
| ElPasmo | puddles: ok, thanks a lot anyway... I'm in ubuntu and I can work perfect with unity broken :P | 00:01 |
| jpds | Agent_Smith: Exactly. | 00:01 |
| bombshell | Anyone here could help me with empathy? | 00:01 |
| Gnea | !ask | bombshell | 00:01 |
| ubottu | bombshell: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:01 |
| shcherbak | g_: with some effort imagemagick and gconf-tool would do | 00:01 |
| Agent_Smith | r007: I already undestand whats happing in my machine | 00:01 |
| puddles | g_: mmm, imagemagick renders into your background, tell nautilus background has changed? | 00:01 |
| Xborder | Gnea i'm on a dektop. and everything was fine yesterday. today cant launch the apps | 00:01 |
| Agent_Smith | r007: http://upstart.ubuntu.com | 00:01 |
| Xborder | *desktop | 00:01 |
| Agent_Smith | r007: jpds helps me | 00:01 |
| r007 | lol | 00:02 |
| Agent_Smith | r007: thanks for your help as well | 00:02 |
| puddles | g_: this means you have to use a local background in a file you can write into :-) | 00:02 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay. on the front of the desktop 'box' itself, do you have some small differently colored lights to tell you that the system is on? | 00:02 |
| TheBaws | hey guys | 00:02 |
| TheBaws | I need help putting the internet on my computer | 00:02 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | hey every1 | 00:02 |
| Agent_Smith | jpds: nowadays like in call of duty ... lol | 00:02 |
| Xborder | Gnea LED as in the light on the tower? yes i have that and it blinks as in "thinking" | 00:02 |
| TheBaws | On my ubuntu computer | 00:02 |
| Agent_Smith | jpds: thanks ... | 00:02 |
| Gnea | TheBaws: you'll need a *LOT* of hard drive space for that | 00:02 |
| _jesse_ | TheBaws: the whole internet!? you think it'll fit? | 00:02 |
| TheBaws | Its harder than windows | 00:02 |
| Agent_Smith | bye all | 00:03 |
| g_ | puddles: i thought all bgs had to be local? | 00:03 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | TheBaws: i cant do it either | 00:03 |
| jpds | Agent_Smith: No worries. | 00:03 |
| bombshell | Empathy, once I go offline, all the options are grayed out and I can't log back into my accounts? | 00:03 |
| blackshirt | TheBaws: what your troubles ? | 00:03 |
| TheBaws | I try to use the wireless internet | 00:03 |
| TheBaws | with the wireless card | 00:03 |
| TheBaws | but it says it can't | 00:03 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay, yes, those are the LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). there should be one for power, another for the hard drive (HD or HDD) - the blinking one is usually for the HDD | 00:03 |
| _jesse_ | TheBaws: do you mean wireless or broadband? | 00:04 |
| michael__ | what kind of wireless card do you have? | 00:04 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | TheBaws: wht you gotta do, is you gotta buy a full pro computer to run the internets | 00:04 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah the green one as in power and a red blinking one for cpu processing | 00:04 |
| shcherbak | g_: he ment extra (copy) file to edit and substitute. | 00:04 |
| TheBaws | I mean the wireless internets | 00:04 |
| _jesse_ | TheBaws: so you have a wireless router you are trying to connect to? | 00:04 |
| WorkingOnWise | what do I have to do to be able to set up my laptop for "offline imap" so I can read and delete main offline then sync back to gmail what I connect again, using evolution for the mail client? | 00:04 |
| TheBaws | yes | 00:05 |
| TheBaws | BTW this is on my PS3 | 00:05 |
| yagoo | TheBaws, does iwlist work? | 00:05 |
| _jesse_ | TheBaws: ubuntu on your bs3? | 00:05 |
| lacrymology | Does anybody know if there's a way for the USB drives to appear on a windows virtualmachine with virtual box? any other virtual machine will do too, but I'll have to reinstall, so I'd rather use virtualbox if it's possible | 00:05 |
| _jesse_ | *ps3 | 00:05 |
| TheBaws | yeh | 00:05 |
| _jesse_ | ah | 00:05 |
| _jesse_ | lol | 00:05 |
| TheBaws | I want the intenets on it | 00:05 |
| _jesse_ | TheBaws: I'm not sure how well they support that wireless card | 00:05 |
| Gnea | Xborder: actually, the red one is blinking to tell you that the HDD is processing information, which is sort of an extension of the CPU itself doing work, but not all the time, because the CPU has to do simple things like keeping track of time, which the HDD doesn't blink for, so the LED is only blinking when things like applications are launched, files are being saved, and when data is being moved in and out from RAM to SWAP and so forth | 00:05 |
| TheBaws | Ah. | 00:05 |
| TheBaws | maybe I need to use the cable internets | 00:06 |
| yagoo | lacrymology, not ubuntu related.. ask #vbox.. yes you can hook up physical usb drives to a vm guest | 00:06 |
| _jesse_ | TheBaws: I would suggest looking around http://psubuntu.com/ | 00:06 |
| lacrymology | yagoo: thanks | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lacrymology: you can share the mount point as a folder in teh config, or use the closed source version. i suggest you ask in #vbox as it is more specific to your issue | 00:06 |
| TheBaws | okay I will go to that site | 00:06 |
| Gnea | Xborder: So, when you attempt to launch an application, does the red LED blink more often than not? | 00:06 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | _jesse_: oi how do i make a computer be able to watch the tvs | 00:07 |
| _jesse_ | xx--ms-gulati-sn: with a tv tuner | 00:07 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | where do i buy one? | 00:07 |
| Xborder | Gnea not really. it keeps blinking at the same rate as before | 00:07 |
| _jesse_ | xx--ms-gulati-sn: I'd recommend newegg.com | 00:07 |
| TheBaws | I got one from the ebay | 00:07 |
| TheBaws | I bought the one with the lights on it | 00:07 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay. what version of Ubuntu do you have installed? | 00:07 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | i only have $40 | 00:07 |
| r007 | larcymlogy you can share it with the guest from the host iirc theres no way to assign a usb device unless its a hd | 00:07 |
| _jesse_ | xx--ms-gulati-sn: that should be enough | 00:08 |
| redfrog | How do you guys usually watch TV on Ubuntu? tvtime? | 00:08 |
| TheBaws | I use the remote | 00:08 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | ok | 00:08 |
| Gnea | redfrog: preferably with mythtv | 00:08 |
| Xborder | Gnea 10.10? dont know if thats what you need :\ | 00:08 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay, can you open a terminal? Applications->Accessories->Terminal | 00:09 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | How do i install windows 7 on a windows 95 computer?? | 00:09 |
| Xborder | Gnea had it installed from this iso ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386 | 00:09 |
| TheBaws | So guys I have the windows computer | 00:09 |

| Habstinat | Tried both the alternate installer and the regular one for 10.10 desktop x64. | 00:13 |
| ridin | TheBaws: well, there's directx8 for wine | 00:13 |
| ridin | TheBaws: if you're going to game, keep a dualboot with Windows | 00:13 |
| Habstinat | My computer just doesn't seem to recognize it. | 00:13 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | how to i play games on my computer?? | 00:14 |
| r007 | Ive used Linux since back in the days of having to build from source yeah it was a pain but ffs you cant call it now and say windows works better with all the package managers | 00:14 |
| ridin | xx--ms-gulati-sn: use the ubuntu software center. it should be in applications -> games | 00:14 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah but the only way i know how to set it up is going to my im accounts and since i have none yet set it up by putting my msn credentials the first time. yet when i go to system -> preferences-> im and voip accounts nothing happens. no "window" pops out | 00:14 |
| yagoo | xx--ms-gulati-sn, you have to donate 35 dollars.. then you can play games | 00:14 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | yagoo: ok | 00:14 |
| ridin | Habstinat: you probably already know this, have you tried the 32bit? | 00:15 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | whats your bank account | 00:15 |
| TheBaws | ah dual boot | 00:15 |
| ridin | xx--ms-gulati-sn: no. | 00:15 |
| TheBaws | woww | 00:15 |
| TheBaws | I like the 32 bits | 00:15 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | ridin: really | 00:15 |
| TheBaws | its better than the 16 | 00:15 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | do i pay you? | 00:15 |
| ridin | no, you pay on the ubuntu software center | 00:15 |
| ridin | open it in applications -> ubuntu software center | 00:15 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | ohhh | 00:15 |
| Gnea | Xborder: well, the keyring is separate from your online accounts | 00:15 |
| Pici | xx--ms-gulati-sn, TheBaws: stop. | 00:15 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | so i need a macintosh computer yeah? | 00:16 |

| TheBaws | just tell me who | 00:16 |
| Gnea | !guidelines | TheBaws | 00:16 |
| ubottu | TheBaws: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 00:16 |
| ridin | xx--ms-gulati-sn: because why would you even need it at the first place? | 00:16 |
| r007 | xx--ms-gulati-sn anything thats better than your windows :D | 00:16 |
| Habstinat | ridin: No, but my computer is 64bit (I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu on it right now, but it was with Wubi and I want to switch to a partition) and I want to have the operating system match. Why, does x32 tend to have better luck with this sort of thing? | 00:16 |

| ridin | Habstinat: i thought your processor is 32bit only | 00:17 |
| xx--ms-gulati-sn | r007: good idea | 00:17 |
| ridin | deinspanjer: applications -> terminal | 00:17 |
| Pici | r007: That sort of commentary isn't needed here either. | 00:17 |
| Gnea | TheBaws: this is #ubuntu, you really need to stay to topic. talking about anything to do with piracy is a no-no. | 00:17 |
| deinspanjer | I don't have an Ubuntu desktop handy at the moment. Could anyone tell me where it is in the menu hierarchy? i.e. Start | Tools | Terminal prompt | 00:17 |
| r007 | Pici sorry | 00:17 |

| ubottu | psusi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:30 |
| g_ | greg__: may as well enjoy lynx then or go out and get some sun | 00:30 |
| Lint01 | why GSTREAMER depends on CPP??? | 00:30 |
| mikha_ | <r007>the weird part i pinged gmail and in the same time opened firefox | 00:30 |
| shcherbak | greg__: thinking, most obvious would to try second connection | 00:31 |
| g_ | greg__: or you could wget everything, and then open it in firefox | 00:31 |
| mikha_ | and it did say internet time out | 00:31 |
| greg__ | haha its night and raining where I am, but thanks | 00:31 |
| Lint01 | and gksu, and buch of x apps... can someone explain? | 00:31 |
| greg__ | haha actually might be the best option | 00:31 |
| guillaume_ | Are you new Lint? | 00:31 |
| g_ | greg__: write a little script to do it | 00:31 |
| Xborder | Gnea applications->internet->Empathy, or by the clock theres an envelope. when i click it theres chat under it. pressing chat used to open empathy aswell | 00:31 |
| Lint01 | new to what? | 00:31 |
| jsec | Lint01: maybe because they have libraries that are dependent on CPP to process before the apps are compiled? | 00:31 |
| greg__ | I was just hoping there was some magic way to change the terms of a ssh connection while it was already open | 00:31 |
| r007 | mikha_ that is weird maybe a coincidence but looks like firefox was waiting for an icmp packet | 00:31 |
| guillaume_ | You got trouble with gksu thingy? | 00:32 |
| Xborder | Gnea now when i click either or those nothing happens :\ | 00:32 |
| snakesqzns | Steaming audio and opengl is jerky/stuttering on 10.10. See this video here at around 0:04 to see what I mean: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8054/adf.mp4 | 00:32 |
| Max | hi all | 00:32 |
| mikha_ | <r007>on chromium aswell :S | 00:32 |
| rootchord | If anyone would be awesome and help, here is my problem: i need to setup ubuntu to mount my external drive to "/media/Data" wether it is connected at boot or connected while it's already running. I can get it to do one way or the other but not both. ht closest i can get is by setting it to mount with fstab(so that it mounts IF its there at startup) and then running "mount -a" if i connect the drive after startup. anyone got a solut | 00:32 |
| guillaume_ | Hello :) | 00:32 |

| Habstinat | ridin: Well, my MD5 sum for the ISO is 1b9df87e588451d2ca4643a036020410 , which is right, just blanked my disk and will rewrite the standard installer to it slowly. | 00:32 |
| g_ | ohh, trying to download fedora iso with axel causes a segfault :( | 00:32 |
| Lint01 | rootchord, sudo udisks --mount /dev/xxx --mount-options ro,exec,nosuid | 00:33 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay, I usually just use the mail-icon next to the clock to get to mine | 00:33 |
| Gnea | Xborder: it says 'chat' so I just click on that | 00:33 |
| Guest69439 | got a small problem if some one can help the grub is not showing the xp partition | 00:34 |
| g_ | greg__: could you have somesort of loopback in firefox, which triggers a script to wget and get the file, then save it to /tmp ? | 00:34 |
| carandraug | hi! I had an ssh connectino to a server and for some reason it got disconnected. I would like to reconnect to it. Everywhere I look, people just say to use screen. I'm familiar with it but I was not using it and I really want to to reconnect to that ssh session. Is that possible? And if so, how? | 00:34 |
| rootchord | Lint01, when it's there on boot it gets set to /dev/sdB1 but if i connect it later it is /dev/sdC1 | 00:34 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah ok me too. but now nothing happens :\ i think because of the 3 defaults on the password and encription thing. maybe the 3 default are in conflict (again noob thinking maybe) | 00:34 |
| r007 | mikah_ what happens if you ping localhost? | 00:34 |
| Habstinat | ridin: 10.0x, using burnproof, not simulating before burning is good? | 00:34 |
| masen | carandraug: screen will only help you in the future | 00:35 |
| r007 | mikah_ while waiting for the browsert connection | 00:35 |
| masen | if you've already lost a session, that you weren't using screen with, it is lost | 00:35 |
| Gnea | Xborder: have you tried logging out, then logging in again? | 00:35 |
| acal | I need help... I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 for my 64BIT AMD system and when I install it works, but after the reboot it gives me this error: "Disk Boot Failure, Insert Boot Disk and Press Enter" | 00:35 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah, and restarting too | 00:35 |
| carandraug | masen, I know. Everywhere I look when I google it, they just say how to prevent. Couldn't manage to find a way to solve my problem yet | 00:35 |
| Gnea | Xborder: k, have you tried updating the software on the system? | 00:36 |
| tucemiux_mob | acal, sounds like you have a hardware problem with your hard drive, try reinstalling grub | 00:36 |
| masen | carandraug: i don't believe that it's possible | 00:36 |
| mikha_ | <r007>it keep pinging and it give me internet timed out | 00:36 |
| acal | I can boot into the live ubuntu (test it out before you install) which is what I'm on right now. | 00:36 |
| greg__ | I'm not sure how that would work, but idk I't probably not worth it, I think I'l just give in and give the westin my money | 00:36 |
| ElPasmo | acal have you any usb pendrive or external disk connected during boot? | 00:36 |
| carandraug | masen, damn. aptitude upgrade was running. And the session closed when I was at those ncurses interfaces upgrading GRUB | 00:37 |
| Lyman | i have a hewlett packard office jet g85 on a fresh 10.04 install, and it says the printer is online, but wont print, when trying to print self test page, i get CUPS server error, "client-error-document-format-not-supported" what can i do about this | 00:37 |
| tucemiux_mob | acal, the problem could also be that youre doing something funky when installing grub | 00:37 |
| acal | I have a usb mouse, PS2 keyboard | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | Habstinat: Make sure that you enable verifying the md5 of the disk after burning in whatever burning software you use. | 00:37 |
| ridin | Habstinat: 4x is recommended | 00:37 |
| acal | How am I doing something funky installing grub? How do I reinstall it, and will it fix it? | 00:37 |
| masen | carandraug: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure <pkg_name> | 00:37 |
| greg__ | oh shit I got a plan | 00:37 |
| ElPasmo | acal: I had the same problem once, and it was when I had a external usb HDD connected... | 00:37 |
| greg__ | how about netcat | 00:37 |
| CaneToad | any recommendations as to a good gui-based backup solution for ubuntu? | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | acal: How many hard drives do you have? | 00:38 |
| sorush20 | hi, I'm copying 227GB and at 13 min remaining I had to restart the computer. Now that I am trying to repeat the process I get an option to merge, however the speed is very slow less than 1mb per second. | 00:38 |
| r007 | mikah_ so theres no network issues this is weird | 00:38 |
| acal | I have one connected IDE and an optical drive SATA | 00:38 |
| mikha_ | r007 i kno :S | 00:38 |
| g_ | sorush20: it may be trying to locate where it was? | 00:38 |
| Xborder | Gnea not since it stoped working. msn empathy and ps3 media server and i havent noticed anything else not working. cant open system-> preferences-> instant messaging and voip either | 00:38 |
| shcherbak | greg__: or use wget -R | 00:38 |
| acal | is there a terminal command that I can verify the OS? | 00:38 |
| masen | carandruag: for instance: dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 00:38 |
| Gnea | Xborder: I don't understand - are those 3 different applications or 3 different accounts? | 00:38 |
| ridin | acal, the last time i reinstalled grub was installing it in the MBR, then making a menu.lst for grub | 00:39 |
| carandraug | masen, no. aptitude is still running. I still don't know if it will become a problem. It might. But before restart the computer and hope everything is okay, I was hoping to simply reconnect | 00:39 |
| r007 | mikah_ do you have lynx instaleed or can you use wget? | 00:39 |
| s093294 | I did put up a iptables prerouting forward, nothing else. If i make a request on eth1 ip the packages get forwarded, but on ppp0 ip they just get to the firewall and nothing more. Theres no drop polity, its all set to accept. | 00:39 |
| greg__ | yeah alright I'm gonna give it a shot, but I gotta exit out of the irc client | 00:39 |
| Jordan_U | acal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 | 00:39 |
| greg__ | thanks for your help | 00:39 |
| mikha_ | <r007> i will get lunx 1 sec | 00:39 |
| masen | carandraug: good luck with that mate, is the server distant? | 00:39 |
| tucemiux_mob | acal, I usually install to the master boot record, I dont know how you installed grub, it also sounds like it could be potentially a hard drive going bad, I would reinstall grub just to test | 00:39 |
| Habstinat | ridin: 10x was the slowest option given in the Ubuntu "burn to disk" tool. Jordan_U: There doesn't seem to be that option. I'll check the MD5s of each individual file once the burn is complete. | 00:40 |
| acal | okay let me test the script then I'll try the reinstall | 00:40 |
| ElPasmo | !grub | 00:40 |
| 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. | 00:40 |
| skelterjohn | question: in 10.4 I want to remove the "shutdown" item from the system menu for all users. how can I do this? | 00:40 |
| Xborder | Gnea Empathy is the msn client right? PS3 media server is an app to connect to your ps3 to stream contents, movies and stuff. and i cant go to the menu about my instant messaging and voip accounts | 00:40 |
| Castbound | guys iconfigured a new router as a switch, I have no problems to connect to it but the network icon is showing a red ! sign what does it mean? | 00:40 |
| carandraug | masen, nop. It's on my living room. I can try it when I get home | 00:40 |
| ridin | Habstinat: maybe the cd is another guess i had | 00:40 |
| snakesqzns | #ubuntu really needs tiered support channels... | 00:41 |
| Lyman | my printer was detected as soon as i plugged it in, however it wont let me print | 00:41 |
| Freeheart | I'm having a generalized problem and I'm wondering if anybody has solved it or has input on it. When I transmit recorded audio over my network, it cuts out regularly. Like 30% of the audio stream just drops. | 00:41 |
| Lint01 | have no idea | 00:42 |
| masen | Freeheart: wired or wireless? | 00:42 |
| Freeheart | First, I thought it was an issue with Skype, but found that Google Voice has the same issues, and then Ekiga using an entirely open protocol. | 00:42 |
| Castbound | guys iconfigured a new router as a switch, I have no problems to connect to it but the network icon is showing a red ! sign what does it mean? -- In addition to that I had a few problems to resolve some sites, like this irc channel, took me some secs to resolve | 00:42 |
| Freeheart | masen: Wireless. | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | Habstinat: You can also just run "md5sum /dev/cdrom". | 00:42 |
| Gnea | Xborder: I think you're a bit confused on the PS3 media server bit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer | 00:42 |
| masen | Freeheart: it could just be a straight up bandwidth issue...do you share the connection with others? | 00:43 |
| Freeheart | No, I am on a reasonable connection by myself. | 00:43 |

| Gnea | Xborder: and empathy is an all-in-one IM client, so it would handle MSN for you | 00:43 |
| Gnea | Xborder: it can also handle things like yahoo IM, google talk, icq, etc | 00:43 |
| Freeheart | Additionally, Skype-to-Skype works fine... it seems only to happen when the audio is SIP OR crossing a PSTN network. | 00:43 |
| rootchord | anyone got any ideas on this one? i have an fstab entry made for my external ntfs hdd using UUID. it mounts it where i want it to(/media/Data) if the drive is there at startup, but if i connect it afterwards it mounts it to /media/Data_ | 00:44 |
| yokomoto | i keep clickin peoples names by accident :/ | 00:44 |
| mdpatrick | I have a dynamic IP, but I want to be able to consistently get access to my ubuntu box via SSH... what's the best solution to use? | 00:44 |
| masen | rootchord: do you have a user option in fstab for that entry? | 00:44 |
| Gnea | Xborder: can you get to system->administration->system monitor? | 00:45 |
| tucemiux_mob | mdpatrick, static ip, next question | 00:45 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah and i have a problem lauching some applications and not others. the ones i cant lauch are empathy and ps3 media server. with that said, i cant enter the instant messaging and voip accounts menu (under System->Perferences->) either | 00:45 |
| acal | http://paste.ubuntu.com/533297/ | 00:45 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah it's open | 00:45 |
| r007 | mdpatrick write a shell script to send you the output of ifconfig | 00:46 |
| Freeheart | masen: Skype-to-skype works without the audio clipping. And I get great quality and latency under Windows using the same router and internet connection. | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | mdpatrick: dyndns is free (as in beer). | 00:46 |
| andrew_m | mdpatrick: look into dydns | 00:46 |
| masen | Freeheart: could be an audio codec issue | 00:46 |
| Robinux | guys on a laptop i don't know what cpu it has, if a usb ubuntu x64bit installer fails to load and says "Boot error" ... it must mean its a 32bit system? | 00:46 |
| Robinux | right? | 00:46 |
| masen | Freeheart: are you using 10.10? | 00:46 |
| snakesqzns | Freeheart, I have the same problem with shoutcast | 00:46 |
| rammyIRC | i want to make my laptop connected to ethernet to be a hotspot...so i connect my ipod touch to it | 00:46 |
| Freeheart | masen: It's the damndest thing. If it weren't so consistant across services (Skype, Google Voice and Ekiga) I would blame the networks. But something is affecting ALL of these. | 00:46 |
| rammyIRC | im using ubuntu 10.04 | 00:46 |
| snakesqzns | Freeheart, also, opengl stutters for me. I suspect it's a serious kernel issue | 00:46 |
| Gnea | Xborder: yes, I know, you've told me this many times now :) | 00:46 |
| Xborder | Gnea sorry lol | 00:47 |
| Gnea | Xborder: I'm trying to help you figure out why that is and try to fix it | 00:47 |
| shomon | has anyone managed to get sound working on hp g62's? | 00:47 |
| Freeheart | masen: Yes, 10.10. I've tested both i386 and AMD64 and both do the same. | 00:47 |
| Gnea | Xborder: np :) | 00:47 |
| mdpatrick | tucemiux_mob: duh dum cha | 00:47 |
| masen | Freeheart: stumped me | 00:47 |
| mdpatrick | Jordan_U, andrew_m: thanks! | 00:47 |
| tucemiux_mob | mdpatrick, :-) | 00:47 |
| snakesqzns | Freeheart, http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8054/adf.mp4 <- this is what opengl does on mine. Do you have any issues running 3d apps, like glgears? | 00:47 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah and i apreciate it but since i'm not english native i'm affraid of nothing going through lol | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | Robinux: No, you would get a different error (complaining specifically about needing 64 bit) if that were the (only) problem. | 00:48 |
| shomon | I'm about to upgrade my alsa using this upgrade script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 but how do I make sure it's the right thing in my case? | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | mdpatrick: You're welcome. | 00:48 |
| maco | shomon: you shouldnt need a script | 00:48 |
| tucemiux_mob | acal, I might be mistaken but this message is saying you installed grub in the wrong partition, I would try reinstalling grub: Unknown BootLoader on sda2 | 00:48 |
| maco | shomon: newer versions of alsa are packaged now | 00:48 |
| Freeheart | snakesqzns: Generally, I have no problems aside from the audio issues I'm describing. | 00:48 |
| shomon | how do I diagnose sound not working in lucid? | 00:48 |
| Gnea | Xborder: okay, with the system monitor open, you can see either graphically what the system load is doing (if it's high, that's not a good sign, and if it's got little ridges, it's not doing too much) or if it's showing a list of processes, you can see which ones are using the most CPU usage | 00:48 |
| maco | shomon: linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic assuming youre on 10.10 | 00:48 |
| acal | how do I reinstall grub? | 00:48 |
| Lyman | any thoughts or comments on my printing problem | 00:48 |
| shomon | yup, vanilla install | 00:49 |
| snakesqzns | Freeheart, so you can confirm no issues with opengl apps, or you haven't run any opengl apps? | 00:49 |
| maco | shomon: well try installing that package. it has newer drivers | 00:49 |
| Freeheart | snakesqzns: Using both the ATI Proprietary drive and the RadeonHD, I have seen no noticable stuttering. | 00:49 |
| snakesqzns | Freduardo_, do you have an i7? | 00:50 |
| Freeheart | Not where I couldn't pinpoint the specific cause (i.e. I was transfering a hundred gigs of files at the time) | 00:50 |
| snakesqzns | er, Freeheart | 00:50 |
| bamboochas | i have problem in setting staticly interface in /etc/network/interfaces: auto usb0 <endl> iface usb0 inet static <endl> address 10.9.0.74 <endl> netmask 255.0.0.0 <endl> network 10.9.0.0 <endl> broadcast 10.255.255.255 <endl> gateway 10.9.0.74 Doing: ifconfig usb0 10.9.0.74 broadcast 10.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0 up and route add default gw 10.9.0.75 work just fine XD what is wrong with my /etc/network/interfaces config ? | 00:50 |
| tucemiux_mob | bamboochas, use pastebin | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | acal: From that ouptuput it looks like grub is not the problem. Have you been able to boot any OS from that hard drive, attatched to this machine? Your BIOS may not be seeing the drive at all. | 00:50 |
| greg1785 | il y a quelqun ? | 00:50 |
| ehc | greg1785, bien sur | 00:50 |
| greg1785 | ha enfin lol | 00:51 |

| Robinux | ahh damn does the universal usb installer from pendrivelinux really offer | 00:52 |
| Robinux | md5 checking | 00:52 |
| greg1785 | pardon ? | 00:52 |
| Xborder | Gnea yeah as in task manager in windows. in cpu usage no problems there. it doesn't go above 8% on a process called mono. all the others processes are using 0% and sometimes the monitor itself uses 4% of the cpu. the ram being used is about 10% maximum | 00:52 |
| Robinux | if not then how do i do md5 checking | 00:52 |
| greg1785 | #chat-belgique | 00:53 |
| ehc | I want to run a command on every startup, but also after resuming from being suspended. Is there a way to do this? | 00:53 |
| Habstinat | Jordan_U: When I try to run that, after a couple minutes I get, "md5sum: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error | 00:53 |
| greg1785 | #charleroi | 00:53 |
| bamboochas | i have problem in setting staticly interface usb0 in /etc/network/interfaces: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=QG7wq63y Doing: ifconfig usb0 10.9.0.74 broadcast 10.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0 up and route add default gw 10.9.0.75 work just fine XD what is wrong with my /etc/network/interfaces config ? | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | Habstinat: That suggests that there is a problem with the CD or drive. | 00:53 |
| Habstinat | Jordan_U: Do you think burning on another computer would most likely fix it? | 00:54 |
| Lyman | could someone look at this and tell me if they see a problem, http://paste.ubuntu.com/533306/ | 00:54 |
| Lyman | the problem is that my printer was detected upon ubunutu 10.04 install, but i cant print to it, i think it could be a cups problem, i'm new to ubuntu, so any help is appreciated | 00:55 |
| mdpatrick | Jordan_U, andrew_m: How does it keep my IP up to date?? I registered | 00:55 |
| greg1785 | #hainaut | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | Habstinat: It depends on where the issue is. If it's a problem with the disk itself, no (unless you also use another disk). If it's a problem with the burning functionality of the CDROM drive, yes. If it's a problem with the *reading* functionality of the CDROM drive, no. | 00:56 |
| greg1785 | # hainaut | 00:56 |

| greg1785 | lol mici ;-) | 00:56 |
| acal | bios is showing my drive | 00:57 |
| Habstinat | Jordan_U: Any way I could narrow these options down, like performing tests to determine which of the three the problem lies with? | 00:57 |
| acal | So my drive is showing in bios.. it's a gigabyte board, IDE 100GB Drive, Radeon GPU, Amd Phenom II X4 920 | 00:58 |
| snakesqzns | why is ubuntu's kernel using 250 hz instead of 1000 hz?? | 00:58 |
| Lyman | yagoo, thanks for the tip\ | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | Habstinat: If you take a new CD, burn it on another computer, and try to boot it on anther computer, then you will no that the disk is good and burned correctly. Then just try booting it on the problematic machine and if it fails to boot it's a hardware problem on the problematic machine. | 00:59 |
| Ronaldlo | how can I find a PID via terminal? | 00:59 |
| Lyman | yagoo, i went there, but i don't see the obvious | 00:59 |
| Ronaldlo | ie, ssh compatible | 00:59 |
| yagoo | Lyman, what does that mean? | 01:00 |
| acal | I also scanned the drive with GSmart Control | 01:00 |
| Lyman | yagoo, i can't seem to print, the printer was detected upon fresh install of 10.04 | 01:00 |
| quizme | how do you find out how fast my processors are ? | 01:01 |
| Jordan_U | acal: This will only help if you have a broken BIOS, but try running "sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on" | 01:01 |
| yagoo | quizme, cat /proc/cpuinfo | 01:01 |
| quizme | yagoo thank you sir | 01:01 |
| yagoo | quizme, measuring processor performance is comparative though.. wikipedia has a geekness on "bogomips" | 01:02 |
| acal | Ran that and it said: "Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. " | 01:02 |
| quizme | yagoo in otherwords, it's not just the mhz that matters ? | 01:02 |
| bombshell | According to Gnome, my status being unable to change could be a Ubuntu issue | 01:02 |
| bombshell | in my empathy client | 01:03 |
| bombshell | They are telling me that Ubuntu uses it's own, Notification Applet | 01:03 |
| yagoo | quizme, you can only know how fast a machine performs something if it is benchmarked against another machine performing the same task | 01:03 |
| quizme | yagoo right... | 01:03 |
| joey_ | does any one know what is the easiest way to share an internet connection? | 01:03 |
| yagoo | quizme, mhz doesn't necessarily it will run the same task faster.. | 01:04 |

| blackplague1347 | I know this is blasphemy here, but let's say I want to switch back to windows...can I do it? Ubuntu occupies my entire HDD right now. | 01:13 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: sure.. wipe the drive clean and spend 3 hours installing windows | 01:13 |
| DrManhattan | blackplague1347, you just install windows again | 01:13 |
| quizme | blackplague1347: can't do it. you are one of us now. there is no going back. | 01:13 |
| DrManhattan | izinucs, it only takes about 15 minutes now | 01:13 |
| xangua | blackplague1347: just format the hd and install it | 01:14 |

| blackplague1347 | lol izinucs you make it sound so appealing | 01:14 |
| blackplague1347 | Do I need to re-format the HDD? I deleted all partitions from it with GParted once, but got an error upon attempting to install. | 01:15 |
| quizme | give me Unity3D on Ubuntu, or give me death. | 01:15 |
| izinucs | DrManhattan: on win 7? I haven't experienced that.. just reinstalling xp sp1 .. *way* to many updates | 01:16 |
| linuxien | quizme instal the cube its beter dan 3 d | 01:16 |
| ehc | Can I setup a process with upstart to run after the system resumes from being suspended? | 01:17 |
| DrManhattan | yea well, xp is almost a decade old. I bet if you tried to install a decade old distro of linux it would be a little hectic getting it up to date too | 01:17 |
| Ronaldlo | How do I find backgroud processes? | 01:17 |
| yagoo | Blackguard, where's the HD connected to? | 01:17 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: yea.. you can delete all the partitions then create one partition for the whole drive.. format it fat32 if you'd like | 01:17 |
| blackplague1347 | If I could just get The Sims 3 to work, I'd stick with it. Problem is, it doesn't. I've followed every step and solution I've seen online to get it to work with Wine, but it's just not happening, apparently. | 01:17 |
| bombshell | I finally figured out my issue, apparently the options are grayed (for those who did not know or wasn't informed) ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-me/+bug/452067 -- That you needed empathy to be running for those options to become available | 01:17 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: not familure with The Sims 3 but are some of the sims now opensource? | 01:18 |
| blackplague1347 | Not that I'm aware of. Either way, I went out and bought it so I'd prefer to be able to use it >_> | 01:18 |
| izinucs | DrManhattan: yep.. probably worse.. so 7 installs quick? | 01:18 |
| tbrock | hey guys, how do i reset a hostname after changing it, without rebooting | 01:18 |
| tbrock | on an older ubuntu | 01:18 |
| shcherbak | tbrock: /etc/hostname | 01:19 |
| tbrock | right but after its been edited | 01:20 |
| tbrock | i did that and updated hosts | 01:20 |
| shcherbak | type hostname and <enter> | 01:20 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: check this out.. you'll see it running.. and there is a link for instructions http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyberfux/3633126842/ | 01:20 |
| tbrock | it shows me the old hostname | 01:20 |
| tbrock | when i do that | 01:20 |
| shcherbak | hm? | 01:21 |
| === vito_ is now known as Guest20081 | ||
| blackplague1347 | M'kay izinucs. I'll have a look. | 01:22 |
| RogueShadow | From what I understand, if I fully backup my home folder, re-installing ubuntu entirely is going to change very little except fix anything broken right? | 01:22 |
| izinucs | tbrock: you have to restart networking I think ... | 01:22 |
| tbrock | ok | 01:22 |
| tbrock | i was googling and it said something about /etc/init.d/hostname.sh | 01:23 |
| tbrock | but i don't have that | 01:23 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: The playonlinux thing is what I did. Maybe it's because I'm not running "ubuntu" but something based off of and supposedly compatible with ubuntu? | 01:23 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: could be | 01:23 |

| izinucs | blackplague1347: in wine? probably with some file it saves.. if that's an issue then you uninstall wine and delete all the wine directories and the file will dissappear | 01:25 |
| shcherbak | tbrock: cat /etc/hostname and hostname should give same | 01:25 |
| tbrock | restarting networking didn't work | 01:25 |
| mdpatrick | I just made a config file in /etc... how do I set the permissions so any user can view it????? | 01:26 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: on windows it's a different issue.. a little harder. | 01:26 |
| tbrock | they aren't because i haven't rebooted yet | 01:26 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: Well, here's what I've done. I tried to run the Sims 3 in a virtual box. It was fine, except VB doesn't do accelerated graphics. So that's out. I tried it with Wine a couple different times, once with PlayOnLinux. No success. Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I'm up to 3 entries of that stupid code. | 01:27 |

| izinucs | blackplague1347: if your counting the vbox install don't. was linux running on the vbox install? | 01:28 |
| === murat is now known as QUICKLYWEB | ||
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: I was running Fedora 14 as my main OS and installed XP into VirtualBox. I was unware that it didn't support accelerated graphics and would be a waste of time, unfortunately. | 01:29 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: was the vbox install from the repos? if you get it direct from vbox then you have 2d & 3d accellerated graphics.. a little experimental but it's there. | 01:30 |
| blackplague1347 | Ahhh, let me check. Fedora is stingy with it's repos when it comes to certain things. | 01:31 |
| wasutton3-Kira | how would i go about finding the first character in a line from the command line? | 01:31 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: even on ubuntu the repo install is the ose version.. no usb support etc.. | 01:31 |
| cordoval_ | I have 2 txt files and do a diff but it says they are very different , but I can see they are not as different, is there any other command to compare them in a more smart way? | 01:32 |
| cordoval_ | diff text1.txt text2.txt | 01:32 |
| cordoval_ | gives a long file of ++++ and then ------ | 01:32 |
| cordoval_ | but they are almost identical | 01:32 |
| izinucs | cordoval_: spaces.. caps.. punctuation.. etc.. did you look at all that? | 01:33 |
| cordoval_ | not sure I understand you | 01:33 |
| cordoval_ | izinucs, which command | 01:33 |
| Solved | I was messing around with some of the grub settings, and now it looks awful and is barely legible. Is there anyway to reset grub or even uninstall and then reinstall again? | 01:33 |

| evon | I have a P4 2.0 512 ram with jaunty on it. Is this too slow to play a MKV file? | 01:34 |
| shcherbak | cordoval_: you can use loop grep and awk to have it done to each word. | 01:34 |
| izinucs | cordoval_: the diff command.. not sure what you ment by ++++ then ---- .. is that what the output is? | 01:34 |
| evon | I ask because it's really choppy | 01:34 |
| leoxagy13 | Hi All | 01:35 |
| Solved | hello | 01:35 |
| cordoval_ | hi all, I meant to say that when I do a diff it is a long file that comes out | 01:35 |
| Solved | I was messing around with some of the grub settings, and now it looks awful and is barely legible. Is there anyway to reset grub or even uninstall and then reinstall again? | 01:35 |
| cordoval_ | i want to realize just the small difference that it is there | 01:35 |
| cordoval_ | I just did 1 change | 01:35 |

| leoxagy13 | ? | 01:36 |
| bombshell | Natty is the next release? | 01:36 |
| izinucs | cordoval_: check out "man diff" for switches that will ignore caps, spaces, white space etc. | 01:36 |
| cordoval_ | oh! | 01:36 |
| leoxagy13 | how can I do that ? | 01:36 |
| cordoval_ | izinucs thanks | 01:36 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: pipe it to this... | awk --field-separator="" '{ print $1 }' | 01:36 |

| markodoom | having finally got ubuntu 10.10 netbook version installed and is now updating, while I wait, are there any probs with the wireless hardware on a samsung n220? | 01:39 |
| leoxagy13 | shcherbak: what is cron ? | 01:39 |
| The_Tick | it's a daemon that runs scheduled tasks basically | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | Solved: sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge grub-pc grub-common | 01:40 |
| shcherbak | leoxagy13: it let you run job/commands on time basis | 01:40 |
| izinucs | markodoom: oh yea.. it's horrible.. nothing but issues... no really.. you'll have to wait and see how it reacts. without knowing what the chipset is nobody can tell. | 01:40 |
| leoxagy13 | well, I need that the scrip runs before loggin in | 01:40 |

| blackplague1347 | izinucs: Okay, I just confirmed that my Ubuntu spinoff has the open source edition of VirtualBox. The non-OSE version should run my game? | 01:41 |
| markodoom | fingers crossed then izinucs | 01:41 |
| The_Tick | leoxagy13: on startup? | 01:41 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco i get an error with --field-separator | 01:41 |
| The_Tick | leoxagy13: because cron isn't for startup tasks | 01:41 |
| smt | put your Script into /etc/init.d | 01:41 |
| The_Tick | the at daemon is for that | 01:41 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: no idea.. just a thought.. you can uninstall the ose version and install the other.. the vm will still be there. | 01:41 |
| gary_inNYC | my webcam works, but is not being detected in skype at all | 01:41 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: what error? | 01:41 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco : awk: not an option: --field-seperator= | 01:42 |
| leoxagy13 | yes, on startup | 01:42 |
| shomon | hi sorry but this question got answered but scrolled out of my xchat buffer :( | 01:42 |
| leoxagy13 | 01:42 | |
| leoxagy13 | The_Tick: yes, on startup | 01:42 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: separator has 1 e and 2 a's | 01:42 |
| shomon | how do I get audio running on an hp g62? | 01:42 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: make sure you go to settings and tic the boxes for 2d & 3d | 01:42 |
| The_Tick | leoxagy13: look for information about the at daemon | 01:42 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: i copied that in and got the same error | 01:42 |
| shomon | running ubuntu 10.10 | 01:42 |
| leoxagy13 | "put your Script into /etc/init.d" I have the script there already | 01:43 |
| leoxagy13 | it's not working | 01:43 |
| leoxagy13 | the script recieves start as a parametter | 01:43 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: this time with separator spelled right it still errored? | 01:43 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: yes | 01:44 |
| leoxagy13 | it works great manualy, but not on startup | 01:44 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: if you "man awk" it says it's gawk, right? | 01:44 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: no it says mawk | 01:44 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: ahhh | 01:44 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: try -F "" instead of --field-separator="" | 01:45 |
| leoxagy13 | smt: it's on startup already | 01:45 |
| smt | is root owner of your script? | 01:45 |
| lucas-arg | trying to recordmydesktop with nvidia 260 drivers i see pixels in the video... tried to find an answer googlin but didnt fin one, any idea how to solve this? | 01:45 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F="" '{ print $1 }'" this command spits out the entire last line, instead of the first letter of the last line, which is what i want | 01:46 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: ok lemme play | 01:46 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: ok thank you | 01:47 |
| shcherbak | wasutton3-Kira: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F " " '{ print $1 }'" | 01:47 |
| maco | shcherbak: thatd split on spaces | 01:48 |
| shcherbak | wasutton3-Kira: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F "<your separator>" '{ print $1 }'" | 01:48 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: i wonder if this is a bug. the mawk manpage says if its an empty string itll spit on individual characters | 01:48 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: Guess that's what I'll do. Except I may use something than an Ubuntu spinoff, that way I have some idea of which version to get. I'm not sure if this is based off of 10.10 or 10.04, each of which has a specific VirtualBox version. | 01:48 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: Hmmm | 01:48 |
| maco | shcherbak, wasutton3-Kira: If FS = "", then mawk breaks the record into individual characters, and, similarly, split(s,A,"") places the individual characters of s into A. | 01:48 |
| markodoom | hmmmm, any tips for solving wireless not connecting? | 01:48 |
| wasutton3-Kira | hmmm | 01:48 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: try installing gawk and using the gawk command instead of the awk command? (right now awk is just pointing to /etc/alternatives/awk which points to mawk) | 01:49 |
| wasutton3-Kira | ok | 01:49 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco: nope same result with "tail --lines=1 test | gawk -F="" '{ print $1 }'" | 01:50 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: what are you running? | 01:50 |
| shcherbak | wasutton3-Kira: what do you want to do? and what how is formated file? | 01:50 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: wait remove that = | 01:50 |
| blackplague1347 | UberStudent 1.0 Cicero. | 01:51 |
| maco | wasutton3-Kira: its trying to use = as the field separator because you put -F= | 01:51 |
| wasutton3-Kira | maco : yep that did it | 01:51 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs, I've been distro-hopping for a couple months, so I have plenty of others I could use instead, however. | 01:51 |
| wasutton3-Kira | its going to be a file checkout for an attempt at a multiparallel pi calculation | 01:51 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: wow.. never heard of that one.. how'd you end up on that.. and why avoid a standard ubuntu install? | 01:52 |
| mcnellis | How much space does a typical Ubuntu server installation take? | 01:52 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs, the only thing is that I need a java browser plugin in order to access my school's internet. | 01:52 |
| Habstinat | ridin and Jordan_U: Was able to boot a different CD I burned on my Mac on a different computer, so the CD isn't the issue. Now comes the moment of truth I suppose... | 01:53 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: that's available.. try ubuntu in a vm and see if it works after installing sun-java6-jre | 01:53 |
| maco | mcnellis: there are 4GB in use on my server | 01:53 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: Yeah it's fairly new. I look at DistroWatch pretty often, so every now and then something interesting like that comes up. The main reason for avoiding standard Ubuntu was because last time I tried to install it, it would neither detect wireless connections, nor run java out of the box. | 01:53 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: Well, Java shouldn't be much of an issue at this point because I downloaded the .deb and RPM from the java website onto my external hard drive. It's there if I need to install it. | 01:54 |
| izinucs | blackplague1347: right.. wireless is one issue.. java another.. java you have to install but it is in the repos | 01:54 |
| mcnellis | maco: that's not a bare install though, is it? | 01:55 |
| shcherbak | mcnellis: 300mb | 01:55 |
| blackplague1347 | izinucs: Yeah. I can install it from the terminal with my external hard drive if need be, then get the latest version from the repos. | 01:55 |
| mcnellis | shcherbak: Sounds more likely... you sure it's that low though? I guess b/c it's server? | 01:56 |
| shcherbak | mcnellis: and could be less (perl) | 01:56 |
| s093294 | wheres a good place to get help with iptables? | 01:57 |
| shcherbak | mcnellis: there is alternate iso so it is easy to start | 01:57 |
| shcherbak | !alternate | 01:57 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 01:57 |

| bojangles | tecnico: thanks i'll check it out, is that gui-based? | 02:01 |

| Castbound | guys I have a red exclamation sign in my network icon after configuring an additional router as switch - I was checking the forum and didn't find anything, and indeed the exclamation mark is anoying | 02:03 |
| plainas | does the server version comes with apache, and such stuff installed or just the barebones? | 02:03 |
| bojangles | jrib: okay, this is dumb, but is it a pain if you don't have a static ip address? (do you have to change the ssh command?) | 02:03 |
| jrib | bojangles: yeah, that's probably a pain. You should use something like dyndns (that's what I do) | 02:04 |
| shcherbak | bojangles: with dynamic internet Ip you can use dyndns | 02:04 |
| jrib | plainas: you're given the option at install | 02:04 |
| theholder | Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Compaq Evo N1015v and now and then it goes to a blank screen with a flashing caps lock light | 02:04 |
| mcnellis | does Linux support blu ray players? | 02:04 |
| bojangles | jrib: okay, and that redirects a host name to the new IP or something? | 02:04 |
| Castbound | just tell me no one knows how to remove the exclamation mark and I'll go away | 02:04 |
| plainas | isn't there a smaller iso? | 02:05 |
| jrib | bojangles: you can get something like bojangles.dyndns.org and then just run ddclient (it's in the repositories) on your computer. That will keep bojangles.dyndns.org always pointing to your computer | 02:05 |
| jrib | plainas: there is... | 02:05 |
| jrib | !minimal | plainas | 02:05 |
| ubottu | plainas: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:05 |

| theholder | Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Compaq Evo N1015v and now and then it goes to a blank screen with a flashing caps lock light | 02:07 |
| earthmeLon | I am unable to mount to a server using SSHFS and Public Key Authentication. I currently have it set up for a number of server (and it works) but this server keeps disconnecting me. The logs show it starts my session and then closes my session. No errors. The client says "connection reset by peer" Any suggestions? | 02:07 |
| earthmeLon | SSH for the server using public key works perfectly. It's just sshfs that's acting bonkers | 02:08 |
| zetheroo1 | ubuntu installed on one of my laptops here seems to sync the time to the wrong zone via the Internet ... how do I change it to where I am? | 02:09 |
| ads | Just move your laptop into the correct timezone ;-) | 02:10 |
| Castbound | run cat /etc/timezone | 02:10 |
| Castbound | what's your time zone? | 02:11 |
| zetheroo1 | Sydney | 02:11 |
| tecnico | earthmeLon: just a very long shot.. make sure that your non-interactive shell login is not outputing anything to stdout. That'll make stuff like scp and rsync fail too. Most likely something echoed from your .bashrc or .tcshrc or .cshrc | 02:11 |
| zetheroo1 | and it's connecting to Adelaide which is 30min different | 02:11 |
| earthmeLon | ty Tecnico i will test | 02:12 |

| eemerica2s | hey guys I'm having a bit of trouble with my ipod touch. When I ran the live CD, i plugged my ipod in and it showed all the songs no problem. After installing it I plugged it in and every music player I tried (amarok, banshee, rythmbox, gtkpod) all day there are "0 songs" on my ipod, yet my ipod still shows a full list of songs and everything. any ideas? | 02:15 |

| smt | Installation gtkpod | 02:16 |
| eemerica2s | gtkpod sees it but claims there's no music on it | 02:16 |
| KeithChester | if i think that compiz is interfering with a video c++ program im trying to run (some open kinect stuff) how can i temporarily disable compiz without losing all of my settings? | 02:17 |

| jsec | Hi all. For some reason my laptop (10.04) keeps locking up once every day or two. I can't change tty levels, restart X, nothing. There's no mouse or keyboard input working, and the only option is to hard reboot. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I've had this setup since 10.04 came out, but this just started about a month ago. | 02:20 |
| evon | castbound does that actually exit the GUI completely or is it still in memory? | 02:21 |

| jsec | nits: varies. sometime's it chrome, sometimes empathy... once it was nothing more than a terminal. I've got a weird feeling that it usually happens right after a mouse click from the touchpad. | 02:23 |
| earthmeLon | tecnico Problem was I coppied Ubuntu SSHD_CONFIG into CentOS SSHD_CONFIG. NOT THE SAME | 02:23 |
| earthmeLon | lol | 02:23 |
| nits | jsec: oh... it happens sometimes for me as well but not every 2 days... maybe once a month or something like that... that's a bug in 10.04 | 02:24 |

| nits | the menu bar that has file, edit and stuff for terminal and nautilus and stuff is now in the indicator applet. How do i restore it to org state? | 02:24 |
| antihc3 | Anyone know if it is possable to restrict screen resolution when loading cd installer | 02:25 |
| tecnico | earthmeLon: but I thought you said that ssh'ing into the machine worked fine. Just that sshfs didn't so the only difference is that one is interactive and the other is not. The output on stdout on a non-interactive login craps out rsync, scp and other programs that don't expect output | 02:25 |
| === DrK_Xen is now known as Dr_K_Xen | ||
| earthmeLon | Well, when I changed the sshd_config file to the centos, it stopped printint out this weird message whenever I did ssh in successfully | 02:26 |

| B}Ronald_Reagan | How do you boot mac from a usb stick? Booting with c held down doesnt work, nor does option, nor does choosing a boot volume in the system prefs. | 02:30 |
| antihc3 | B}Ronald_Reagan, Hold the option key it will show aval. boot devices | 02:30 |
| WXZ | libglib2.0-0 (=2.24.0-0ubuntu4) but 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, how do I fix this? | 02:31 |

| rebirth | Could NOT find QtCore header" | 02:31 |
| B}Ronald_Reagan | Yea, didn't show the stick. | 02:31 |
| antihc3 | B}Ronald_Reagan, if Option does not work then sounds like the device may not be bootable or usb port is not working | 02:31 |
| B}Ronald_Reagan | ok, you confirmed my fears :) | 02:31 |
| antihc3 | B}Ronald_Reagan, you can also look in System pref | 02:32 |
| izinucs | bojangles: you typically can list new dns server in your router | 02:32 |
| antihc3 | B}Ronald_Reagan, ok helps if i read the full line sorry | 02:32 |
| B}Ronald_Reagan | haha, yep. Just about to quote myself ;) | 02:32 |
| B}Ronald_Reagan | I'll just burn a disk :P | 02:33 |
| mcurran | anyone have any suggestions for a USB that was not removed correctly from a Winblows XP laptop and now will not mount but is listed in lsusb. I've tried almost everything - ntfs -3g force, fdisk, modprobe usb_storage, etc. (device pops up in windows, and nautilus, but cannot open - WONT MOUNT!!!) | 02:33 |
| bojangles | izinucs: okay, so i wouldnt' have to install anything additional in ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| izinucs | bojangles: nope.. are you trying to use opendns servers? | 02:33 |
| Diamondcite | mcurran: Does it say something like wrong file system? | 02:33 |
| B}Ronald_Reagan | Thanks :D | 02:33 |
| nits | the menu bar that has file, edit and stuff for terminal and nautilus and stuff is now in the indicator applet. How do i restore it to org state? | 02:34 |
| bojangles | izinucs: i'm not sure what that is to be honest, i just want to be able to connect to my home computer from school | 02:34 |
| antihc3 | B}Ronald_Reagan, also note what you have on the boot media. I once tryed to boot my Mac to an AMD64 Disk that would only Kernel panic. (forgot it was AMD_64bit) | 02:34 |
| mcurran | no tail just says DIRECT ACCESS or [sdf] attached as SCSI device | 02:35 |
| izinucs | bojangles: ah.. that's not really dns.. that's ssh typically. You'll need port forwarding on the router to pass the ssh tunnel to the computer in your lan at home. | 02:35 |
| mcurran | just use dmz host or dns-server | 02:35 |
| bojangles | izinucs: don't i need dns if it's a dynamic ip address though? (in order to use ssh) | 02:35 |
| mcurran | yeah, you need static ip | 02:35 |
| WXZ | libglib2.0-0 (=2.24.0-0ubuntu4) but 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, what does this mean? | 02:36 |
| mcurran | not really static ip, but listed as static in router settings | 02:36 |
| Cyrano_De | bojangles: or dynamic DNS. | 02:36 |
| bojangles | so if i get a dyndns account and set up the router i should be okay? or is port-forwarding an additional step? | 02:37 |
| axisys | how do I find the rpm of a disk from the os ? | 02:37 |
| izinucs | bojangles: you can use dyndns.com to set that situation up. in your router there will normally be a place to put the credentials for dyndns.com.. dyndns gives you a web address like izinucs-isa.geek.com which will pass to your routers public ip address .. from there port fowarding handles the rest. | 02:37 |
| axisys | without taking the disk out of the laptop | 02:37 |

| Diamondcite | mcurran: Assuming your flashdrive in question is still intact, maybe you can use testdisk to seek out it's partitions and get to it's data. | 02:38 |
| xjiroo | axisys: you can't. | 02:38 |
| bojangles | izinucs: okay, is port forwarding tied into the router's dns stuff or is that just a separate setting? | 02:38 |
| Diamondcite | axisys: Isn't it fairly safe to assume it probably running among the common RPMs such as 5400? (or is it 4200?) | 02:39 |
| axisys | xjiroo: hmm.. | 02:39 |
| izinucs | bojangles: port forwarding is typically handled in the "gaming" section of routers.. but yes. It's two different settings in the router. | 02:39 |
| axisys | Diamondcite: is it actually on my x4150 .. it could 10K or 15K rpm | 02:39 |
| izinucs | bojangles: gotta run.. like your nick.. Sammy all the way !! :) | 02:39 |
| mcurran | not listed in testdisk | 02:39 |
| Diamondcite | axisys: Drives that spin that fast have quite a fast seek time usually... (looks up drives) | 02:40 |
| mcurran | I should call Microsoft and say you owe me a new USB thumbdrive | 02:40 |
| Diamondcite | mcurran: Testdisk can't even see the device? | 02:40 |

| yagoo | axisys, what's an x4150 all about? | 02:44 |
| mcurran | fat16 or 32 not sure, I used windows gay restore device defaults, so probably 16 | 02:44 |
| axisys | yagoo: sun hardware | 02:44 |
| yagoo | mcnellis, fat16 is restricted to 500 megs | 02:44 |
| yagoo | mcurran, ^ | 02:44 |
| mcurran | well it was 4 gigs and recognised at the time so must have been 32 | 02:45 |
| yagoo | mcurran, and fat32 is restricted to creating no filesize greater than 4 gigs | 02:45 |
| Diamondcite | axisys: Server class drives are somewhat harder to track down x.x | 02:45 |
| mcurran | I'm running bt4r1, so I'm going to try some of these digital forensics tools on them and see if I have any luck | 02:45 |
| ubuntu4shane | yagoo, are you sure fat32 wasn't 2GB? | 02:45 |
| yagoo | mcurran, a fat32 can have the filesystem size as 100 gigs.. but filesizes cannot exceed 4 gigs | 02:45 |
| WXZ | what does "depends * (=*) but * is going to be installed" mean? | 02:46 |
| mcurran | well it's a little besides the point anyways | 02:46 |
| yagoo | ubuntu4shane, 64kb can do 4 gigs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat32#FAT32 ) | 02:46 |

| ubuntu4shane | Infra`, I mean, java -jar file.jar | 02:52 |
| gksmithlcw | The netbook edition is lighter but the desktop edition should be fine. | 02:52 |

| Kesh | Another question: is it difficult to configure a wi-fi card? I have an old one, only has WEP (under win2000). I just dont want to spend 100 hours reading forums to make it work in Ubuntu. | 02:56 |
| yeats | joshdreamland: then that's a separate issue from your video issues - that message began in lucid as far as I know | 02:57 |
| ubuntu4shane | Kesh, my experiences are some work well (many) I haven't ran into bad ones, but I know there are some out there | 02:57 |
| ubuntu4shane | Kesh, perhaps if you know the brand or chipset, google it and see if linux users have problems with it | 02:58 |
| Kesh | ok, fair enough... the few forum posts that I have seen look intimidating.... | 02:58 |
| joshdreamland | yeats: I haven't seen it before. But yeah, I'll ignore it. So why's it dropping me into tty1 if all it's telling me is that message? | 02:58 |
| ubuntu4shane | Kesh, understood, can be very intimidating when jumping in at first. | 02:58 |
| antihc3 | anyone know if ubunut cd support vgacon install and where i can find some docs | 02:58 |
| Kesh | yes, already found some posts with people using exactly the same card... so I am not alone, thanks anyway | 02:58 |
| Kesh | this is a fantastic channel btw | 02:59 |
| yeats | joshdreamland: don't know about that - I just knew that the CPU message was not related :-) | 02:59 |
| yeats | joshdreamland: hopefully that saves you from chasing a red herring | 03:00 |
| joshdreamland | haha | 03:00 |
| joshdreamland | So I'm screwed, essentially. | 03:00 |

| Diamondcite | jcarlin aka Guest5192 went poof? | 03:00 |
| xangua | Lint01: install qt4-qtconfig | 03:01 |
| Kesh | oh...oh....one final and important question: I tried running Ubuntu on that laptop, from the CD.. It works but there is a red message that says something like "Base address not set....update your Bios or force something...."... what would that be in general terms? | 03:01 |
| joshdreamland | I don't know what else to say. Lucid worked fine, I updated via the Update Manager, now Maverick is broken | 03:01 |
| joshdreamland | Lucid is the only distro that could recover from blacklist.conf not listing agpgart and intel-agp (neither of which are loaded) | 03:01 |
| yeats | joshdreamland: there are regressions with nVidia cards - I have one, which is why I'm skipping Maverick | 03:02 |
| ubuntu4shane | Kesh, sounds like your BIOS is outdated and needs updated, oooor, the system time is not set right? I'm not sure | 03:02 |
| Lint01 | Kesh, i'd ignorethis | 03:02 |
| Kesh | it was the time then.... I remember the laptop had wrong time.... | 03:02 |
| joshdreamland | dang, they should really put that in bold print | 03:02 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, upgrades are tough, I upgraded, then I ended up wiping and doing a clean install. | 03:02 |
| === james_ is now known as jcarlin | ||
| Kesh | is that the cause? (the wrong time is because it was in a box for like a year) | 03:02 |
| joshdreamland | I'd rather not do that. Think I should wait for someone to fix the NVidia issues? | 03:03 |
| jcarlin | Diamoncite: anything? | 03:03 |
| leealis | does anyone know of any music programs that have support for iphone 4.1 os? | 03:03 |
| ubuntu4shane | Kesh, ahh, probably, especially if you connected to the web, it may have compared and realized it isn't 1960 :) | 03:03 |
| ubuntu4shane | !nick | kesh | 03:04 |
| ubottu | kesh: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. | 03:04 |

| aeMaeth | No where to go but forward | 03:05 |
| ish_ | hey guys i have a question about flash problems in firefox (ubuntu), where should I ask that? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu4shane | _jesse_, thanks! | 03:05 |
| Kesh | well...I couldnt connect to the network, because of the old wifi card (the router in our house uses wpa)....so there was no comparison... | 03:05 |
| xangua | ish_: flash sucks in linux, ask adobe¿ | 03:05 |
| ubuntu4shane | ish_, try here, and we will go from there. | 03:05 |
| ish_ | ok i have alot of tabs open with flash, and when I close one tab the flash apps in other windows just dissapear | 03:06 |
| tecnico | g_: you can match the guest's IP and set log rules on iptables | 03:06 |
| Kesh | thanks and good night ! | 03:07 |
| leealis | does anyone know of any music programs that have ios 4.1 supported? | 03:07 |
| g_ | tecnico: ? | 03:07 |
| joshdreamland | yeats: Thanks much. It says "fix released"... would that have already been in the update repository? I just installed today. | 03:07 |
| g_ | leealis: i think there's a music distro of debian or ubuntu, you could look out for that | 03:08 |
| leealis | i dont want to install a new distro when i already have this one all set up though | 03:08 |
| leealis | i know rhythmbox has support for ios 4 just not the 4.1 | 03:08 |
| tecnico | g_: the guest traffic has to be routed through some interface on the host. Just set rules on iptables to match the IP of the guest and LOG ( google iptables and ULOG) | 03:09 |
| g_ | tecnico: ahh i see, thanks! | 03:09 |

| joshdreamland | I actually just checked or I'd have mentioned it earlier. | 03:14 |

| digitalfiz | so i have this weird issue ive had since 9.10 i was wondering if there is a fix. its not a big deal just annoying. On my desktop my external drives show up and I have to tripple click them to open them double clicking doesnt work but all other icons i can just double click is there a reason or a setting i can change? | 03:16 |
| aeMaeth | snakesqzns, mine is an empty file | 03:16 |

| ubuntu4shane | snakesqzns, http://paste.ubuntu.com/533333/ | 03:17 |
| sexy_ | Hey guys, trying to start learning C++, what compiler do you guys recommend for linux? | 03:17 |
| antihc3 | g++ | 03:17 |
| izinucs | digitalfiz: perhaps the first two clicks mount the drive and the third opens it. | 03:17 |
| joshdreamland | how do you make grep give line number, again? :P | 03:17 |
| ubuntu4shane | snakesqzns, tecnico mine didn't have any usernames | 03:17 |
| sexy_ | Also, how the hell do I install tar.gz files? | 03:18 |
| aeMaeth | snakesqzns, http://pastebin.com/RWhkF7Pu | 03:18 |
| digitalfiz | izinucs, i thought that but its every time wether the drive is already mounted or not | 03:18 |
| yeats | joshdreamland: grep -c will count the lines returned, if that's what you mean | 03:18 |
| ubuntu4shane | !language | sexy_ | 03:18 |
| ubottu | sexy_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:18 |

| joshdreamland | yeats: I want the line number in the file | 03:18 |
| digitalfiz | izinucs, whats even more weird is if i double click then wait a sec then double click again it opens so im not sure what could be going on | 03:18 |

| joshdreamland | never mind | 03:19 |

| Faethin | Trying to set up berry4all to use my BB as a wireless modem. Anyone savvy on the subject? :) | 03:19 |
| joshdreamland | okay, there was no error whatever loading nvidia | 03:19 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, you have nvidia? | 03:20 |
| Sterist | anyone know what the focus of 11.04 is? | 03:20 |
| joshdreamland | nothing about this says fail | 03:20 |
| joshdreamland | ubuntu4shane: yes | 03:20 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, did you upgrade with proprietary drivers? | 03:20 |
| antihc3 | sexy_, you can Extract a tar.gz with tar xzvf file.tar.gz | 03:20 |
| joshdreamland | ubuntu4shane: I have nvidia-glx-173 installed | 03:20 |
| Faethin | The question is: There's this thing called the PPPD path which is by default /usr/bin/pppd. However, upon inspection using nautilus, I see that there's no such directory | 03:21 |
| blakkheim | antihc3: z isn't needed | 03:21 |
| Faethin | Where is pppd? | 03:21 |
| sexy_ | Ahh I see, thanks | 03:21 |
| Sterist | i.e. 10.04 = mostly compat, 10.10 = mostly cosmetic, 11.04 = ... ? | 03:21 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, I got dumpped to tty after upgrading with nvidia | 03:21 |
| sexy_ | Also, Im unable to install .exe with Wine.. | 03:21 |
| joshdreamland | ubuntu4shane: How'd you fix it? | 03:21 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, I don't remember now, but I messed around with installing xorg over and drivers or something | 03:21 |
| carlos | Hi all!!! | 03:22 |
| joshdreamland | using the livecd, ubuntu4shane | 03:22 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, I don't remember, but I did get it, I had to uninstall and re-install stuff | 03:22 |
| joshdreamland | s/$/? | 03:22 |
| antihc3 | blakkheim, ahh my bad fingers like the z for some reason when using tar | 03:22 |
| carlos | Hi have a serious problem | 03:22 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, no, all via command line, I just logged into the tty, and was hardwired, so that wasn't a problem | 03:22 |
| joshdreamland | ubuntu4shane: Did you do it all form tty, or did you have to use a livecd? | 03:22 |
| joshdreamland | ah | 03:22 |
| joshdreamland | lovely | 03:22 |
| joshdreamland | Did you uninstall and reinstall xorg? | 03:22 |
| carlos | Hi recently installed ubuntu with vista, have to much trouble so choose ubuntu over vista | 03:23 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, I'm pretty sure, also the nvidia drivers, I don't remember what all I did, but I 'hacked' away and got it | 03:23 |
| izinucs | joshdreamland: google ppa nvidia-vapau. in that page is a link to the PPA with the latest driver.. add the ppa as a repo and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade .. and you should have it installed if you tried to install the driver in System>Admin>hardware drivers. | 03:23 |
| carlos | now my ubuntu freeze to often | 03:23 |
| carlos | why is this | 03:23 |
| joshdreamland | izinucs: thanks, will try | 03:23 |
| izinucs | polterguist | 03:24 |
| ubuntu4shane | joshdreamland, I'm about 90% sure it was the xorg-nvidia stuff, I would search, but I"m on my dumb ATI laptop. :) | 03:24 |
| * antihc3 wonders if installing ubuntu on a HD then putting it into an appletv would work:D | 03:24 | |
| carlos | Hi recently installed ubuntu with vista, have to much trouble so choose ubuntu over vista now my ubuntu freeze to often why is this???? | 03:24 |
| Faethin | carlos: be more specific | 03:24 |
| carlos | ok | 03:24 |
| Faethin | carlos: Do you speak Spanish? | 03:25 |
| xangua | carlos: ubuntu with vista....do you mean "wubi" ¿¿ try a real install then | 03:25 |
| ubuntu4shane | antihc3, give it a try and post results somewhere, I have had luck with installing, and then moving hd to different system. :) | 03:25 |
| sexy_ | I installed ubuntu on Win 7 and having no troubles. | 03:25 |
| sexy_ | Ahh also, how can I access my files on Win 7? As I understand it since its on the same partition I dont have to mount anyhting | 03:25 |
| antihc3 | ubuntu4shane, will do. I have had great luck with ubunut and motherboard changes :D | 03:25 |
| Zorlin | !usage Zorlin | 03:26 |
| ubuntu4shane | antihc3, if it blows up, you didn't get that advice from me. :0 :) | 03:26 |
| Faethin | Excuse me, restating my question: The question is: There's this thing called the PPPD path which is supposedly by default /usr/bin/pppd. However, upon inspection using nautilus, I see that there's no such directory. Where is this pppd thing? | 03:27 |
| carlos | I have vista then I discovered Ubuntu, but have to much trouble with the dual boot loader so I choose Ubuntu over vista, now 3 of every 5 times Im using the pc the desktop just freeze and I have to turn off the pc with the power botton and some times its freeze in the bios screen in blue | 03:27 |
| entropy4 | sexy_, you installed ubuntu with wubi? | 03:27 |
| sexy_ | yes | 03:27 |
| joshdreamland | izinucs: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu-maverick-main? | 03:27 |
| Faethin | carlos: did you use Wubi? | 03:27 |
| entropy4 | sexy_ i think it mounts the windows partition under /host | 03:27 |
| carlos | I think so | 03:27 |
| sexy_ | How do I access /host? | 03:27 |
| ubuntu4shane | carlos that sounds like harddrive issues, or hardware issues, not so much software issues. | 03:27 |
| carlos | I can check the cd if u want to | 03:28 |
| izinucs | joshdreamland: hang on.. I'll look.. that like doesn't go anywhere. | 03:28 |
| sexy_ | nvm, got it | 03:28 |
| ubuntu4shane | carlos, if you don't like ubuntu, you can remove it, and use the space for windows. | 03:28 |
| Faethin | carlos: does it freeze while on Windows or while on Ubuntu? | 03:28 |
| ubuntu4shane | I'm off, night all. | 03:28 |
| carlos | I like to try that too, | 03:28 |
| carlos | but I removed vista from the pc | 03:29 |
| izinucs | joshdreamland: here's the direct link https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 03:29 |
| carlos | Vista is no longer in the PC | 03:29 |

| Faethin | carlos: what's your computer model? | 03:29 |
| carlos | Acer | 03:29 |
| sexy_ | Hmm, I cant access Documents and Settings from /host? | 03:29 |
| izinucs | joshdreamland: there's instruction on how to add that as one of your repositories.. | 03:30 |
| carlos | AX17000 | 03:30 |
| Faethin | carlos: yeah that sounds like a hardware problem | 03:30 |
| entropy4 | sexy_, Documents and Settings on Windows 7 is just a link to the Users folder if i remember correctly | 03:30 |
| carlos | any idea more specific | 03:30 |
| Faethin | carlos: does it freeze spontaneously or are you always doing something when it happens? | 03:30 |
| sexy_ | Oh right, my bad | 03:30 |
| entropy4 | if you are trying to find files under your Win77 user profile see /host/Users/your_name | 03:30 |
| kassah_ | is there a way in the netbook interface to add my own applications (installed within homedir)? | 03:30 |

| Habstinat | Here's what I know: My disk reader is broken at startup and I can't boot from a CD, period; my USB reader is only mostly broken because it can't get the official installer right at startup, but it can read the alternate installer until halfway through installing Ubuntu it gives me a fatal error about not having a kernel; and I know that my CD and USB were both burned correctly with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop (tried alternate installer | 03:34 |
| Faethin | carlos: well, get the system monitor running | 03:34 |
| carlos | check | 03:34 |
| Habstinat | I have a ThinkPad W700ds by the way, if it's an issue among those computers. | 03:35 |

| rsyring | Can someone help me figure out why getfacl doesn't show the same group permission that ls -l shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533335/ | 03:35 |

| rsyring | ls -l shows that group has rw_ but getfacl shows it has r-x | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Habstinat: do you check the ISOs you burn before you burn them? | 03:36 |
| carlos | when its freeze it just freeze, cant do anything move the mouse and I dont have the system monitor open when it does | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Habstinat: or before you move them to the USB? | 03:36 |

| swimb | ok thank you | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Habstinat: its part of the liveCD. When it starts to boot, press SPACEBAR and you can check the RAM | 03:39 |

| d3vi1d06 | quick question | 03:40 |
| Faethin | carlos: I can think of something but it's rather a wild guess | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Habstinat: its the same on the usb | 03:40 |
| Faethin | Try turning off the ACPI | 03:40 |
| carlos | it works | 03:40 |
| joshdreamland_ | izinucs: It's saying it's unchanged this time; I may have mistaken the last message it gave for an error. | 03:40 |
| sexy_ | Yup. I can open them all right, but I cant add to the library. Ehh the sound is disorted too. Im going to try a different program | 03:40 |
| d3vi1d06 | i installed ubuntu 10.10 studio. but i forgot to install a desktop | 03:41 |
| swimb | !compile | 03:41 |

| konza | hio | 03:41 |
| swimb | doh | 03:41 |
| Faethin | carlos: what, the ACPI? | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Habstinat: thats a weird ass bios you got, testing for OS on the right is pretty nice :) | 03:41 |
| joshdreamland_ | izinucs: It just says it's requesting the key, then says nothing's changed. Does that mean I'm in the clear? | 03:41 |
| carlos | the Tab-complete staff | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | d3vi1d06: studio comes with a desktop | 03:41 |
| d3vi1d06 | whats the command for getting a desktop? | 03:41 |
| carlos | what is the ACPI? | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | d3vi1d06: do you mean server? | 03:42 |
| izinucs | joshdreamland_: perhaps.. do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:42 |
| joshdreamland_ | k-o | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | carlos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface | 03:42 |
| d3vi1d06 | well im in a commandlin interface | 03:42 |
| joshdreamland_ | back when that's done | 03:42 |
| carlos | OK | 03:42 |
| d3vi1d06 | *command line | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | d3vi1d06: run: startx | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | d3vi1d06: you want the ubuntu studio desktop? | 03:42 |
| Faethin | carlos: hang on | 03:42 |
| Faethin | carlos: I assume you're using Ubuntu 10.10 | 03:42 |
| carlos | yes | 03:43 |
| MikeChelen | is ksensors gone in maverick? | 03:43 |
| sexy_ | Might the problem be that my music folder is hidden in windows? | 03:44 |
| Faethin | carlos: on the terminal type sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 03:44 |
| d3vi1d06 | not work | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sexy_: doesnt matter, linux will still see it | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sexy_: the hiddenness is a windows construct only, linux ignores those | 03:44 |
| d3vi1d06 | sorry im a complete n00b | 03:45 |
| IdleOne | d3vi1d06: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop | 03:45 |
| sexy_ | Yeah, but i thought that it might alter the file in a way that it gives errors when trying to import them in linux | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | d3vi1d06: ok then run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and read, what errors do you see towards the bottom | 03:45 |
| carlos | what is that | 03:45 |
| sexy_ | and there is a noticeable audio quality difference o.o | 03:45 |
| sexy_ | My 320 kbs sound worse then youtube videos | 03:45 |
| Faethin | carlos: it's the boot menu config | 03:46 |
| WXZ | how do I solve a "depends: * but is not going to be installed"? | 03:46 |
| d3vi1d06 | @idle | 03:46 |
| carlos | is a file I shouldnt edit | 03:46 |
| d3vi1d06 | @idle that seemed to work | 03:46 |
| Faethin | carlos: Locate a line that looks something like this: boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=61e3f741-5cf0-4ffb-875f-de8ca62f914c ro acpi=copy_dsdt quiet splash | 03:46 |
| yeats | WXZ: which package are you trying to install? | 03:46 |
| Faethin | carlos: you're only going to modify it a bit. And if it doesn't work, you can always revert it later. | 03:46 |
| WXZ | mono-devel | 03:47 |
| d3vi1d06 | wow this linux stuf is amazing | 03:47 |
| d3vi1d06 | i love it | 03:47 |
| yeats | WXZ: can you paste the full output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? | 03:47 |
| WXZ | yeats: Depends: mono-2.0-devel but it is not going to be installed | 03:47 |
| WXZ | that's the full output | 03:47 |
| d3vi1d06 | so much better than windows | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sexy_: try different settings in the app then, also dont have volume sliders at 100% | 03:47 |
| MikeChelen | how can you figure out which temperature sensors are what? | 03:48 |
| yeats | WXZ: okay - so what happens when you try to install that? | 03:48 |
| WXZ | another depends | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !sensors | MikeChelen | 03:48 |
| ubottu | MikeChelen: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 03:48 |
| WXZ | then when I try to install that, another depends | 03:48 |
| Habstinat | ActionParsnip: So what should I do...? | 03:48 |
| carlos | found it | 03:48 |
| WXZ | yeats: libc6 (=2.11.1-0ubuntu7) but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2 is to be installed | 03:48 |
| WXZ | that's where I get stuck | 03:49 |
| MikeChelen | ActionParsnip: thanks, have those installed already, difficult to interpret the results though | 03:49 |
| yeats | WXZ: ah... so where did you get this mono-devel? | 03:49 |
| WXZ | it's in synaptic | 03:49 |
| Faethin | carlos: okay, add the following at the of the line: "acpi=off" | 03:49 |
| WXZ | I have main, universe, multiverse | 03:49 |
| d3vi1d06 | well when i installed studio, i forgot to select a desktop to install | 03:49 |
| yeats | WXZ: 10.10? | 03:49 |
| Faethin | carlos: without the "" | 03:49 |
| WXZ | lucid | 03:49 |
| yeats | ok | 03:50 |
| carlos | at the very end | 03:50 |
| Faethin | carlos: yep | 03:50 |
| yeats | WXZ: have you tried changing mirrors? | 03:50 |
| d3vi1d06 | so when i booted, it booted to terminal | 03:50 |
| WXZ | you mean for the main repository? | 03:50 |
| WXZ | (the one that mono-devel is in) | 03:50 |
| d3vi1d06 | thanks guys and gals. | 03:51 |
| yeats | WXZ: right - System -> Adminstration -> Software Sources | 03:51 |
| carlos | now save | 03:51 |
| WXZ | yeats: ok | 03:51 |
| Faethin | carlos: yes | 03:51 |
| Faethin | carlos: reboot | 03:51 |
| Faethin | carlos: BEFORE YOU DO IT though. Have your livecd at hand | 03:51 |
| carlos | talk to u in a bit | 03:51 |
| carlos | got it | 03:51 |
| Faethin | carlos: also, here's the bad news | 03:51 |
| Faethin | carlos: wait a min | 03:52 |
| carlos | ok | 03:52 |
| WXZ | yeats: ? | 03:52 |
| Habstinat | So does anyone else here know an easyish way to install Ubuntu that doesn't involve flash drives or CDs? | 03:52 |
| Faethin | carlos: good news, you'll fix the freezing issue | 03:52 |
| yeats | WXZ: Download From -> Other... - then Select Best Server | 03:52 |
| sexy_ | Habstinat, you can install right from Windows | 03:52 |
| carlos | but | 03:52 |
| sexy_ | like any other .exe setup | 03:53 |
| WXZ | yeats; nice | 03:53 |
| MikeChelen | !wubi | Habstinat | 03:53 |
| ubottu | Habstinat: 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 | 03:53 |
| Faethin | carlos: bad news, you'll probably lose some functionalities, like controlling the sound volume. Also, watch out whenever you press the power button. | 03:53 |
| Faethin | carlos: just give it a try and if it works, let us know | 03:53 |
| carlos | should I back my files up | 03:54 |
| sexy_ | ahh rhymthbox is trying to import shit from somewhere on its own | 03:54 |
| Faethin | carlos: well, it's always a good idea to have a back-up, you didn't do anything but turning off some functionalities. The laptop should still work. | 03:54 |
| Habstinat | sexy_: MikeChelen: I'm on a Wubi'd install right now, but I want to switch to a partition. | 03:55 |
| carlos | is a desktop | 03:55 |
| WXZ | yeats: didn't help | 03:55 |
| Faethin | carlos: well, that | 03:55 |
| yeats | WXZ: ok - worth a try | 03:55 |
| Faethin | carlos: I need to leave for a minute. Be right back. | 03:55 |
| carlos | I dont have a back up of my files at this time | 03:55 |
| WXZ | it also did the same thing when I tried to run the same deb from launchpad | 03:55 |
| carlos | should I do it anyway | 03:56 |
| WXZ | said the same thing* | 03:56 |
| sexy_ | Habstinat, you're going to have to do an isntall off a boot. Whats the problem with CDs or flash drive? | 03:57 |
| === michael is now known as Guest30374 | ||
| konza | Has anyone used Flex in ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| sexy_ | Habstinat, there is actually another way. It allowed you to boot right into the setup on the next restart. Google. | 03:58 |
| toshiba_ | flex is what | 03:58 |
| yeats | WXZ: that would be expected if it's exactly the same deb | 03:58 |
| Guest30374 | Hi, Just installed a Qt application and now nautilus is using old x theme rather than GTK. Does anyone know how to resolve this? | 03:58 |
| Habstinat | sexy_: Extremely long story. Basically my CD reader is definitely broken and with a flash drive I can only get halfway in the alternate installer before I get a fatal error about having no kernel. | 03:58 |
| WXZ | yeats: so what now? | 03:58 |
| yeats | WXZ: can you paste the output of 'apt-cache policy libc6' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? | 03:58 |
| sorak | #fluxbox | 03:59 |
| sorak | whoops. :P | 03:59 |

| WXZ | yeats: it's actually libc6-dev | 04:00 |
| WXZ | not libc6 | 04:00 |

| sorak | what kind of device, gambit? | 04:06 |
| Gambit- | sorak, USB 2.0 webcams. | 04:07 |
| Habstinat | sexy_: How? SBM won't work because it requires a CD. We went over USBs. My computer doesn't have a floppy drive. I don't want to use Wubi. Installing from Linux won't work because it isn't on a partition. Don't have a cable for VMware installation. That only leaves network installation... | 04:07 |
| Faethin | carlos: you there? | 04:07 |
| Gambit- | I need to get 5 of them about 200 ft, and I'd like to do it without spending $600. | 04:07 |
| Gambit- | but if I could slap a PC at the remote end and forward the usb traffic over the network, that might be cheaper than buying two 4 port usb extenders. | 04:07 |
| joshdreamland | maybe the best thing for me right now is sleep. Ciao guys, thanks for the help. | 04:08 |
| yeats | WXZ: lucid-security and lucid-updates - you can enable them in Software Sources (Updates Tab) - don't know if that would have anything to do with your issue though | 04:08 |
| WXZ | yeats: it's worth a shot | 04:08 |
| carlos | yes | 04:09 |
| carlos | Im doing some homework | 04:09 |
| Cyrano_De | Gambit-: www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ | 04:09 |
| Gambit- | Cyrano_De, I don't think that does what you think it does. | 04:09 |
| Gambit- | Cyrano_De, I might be wrong about that, though. | 04:09 |
| carlos | I did not try it yet, Im not loosing any files right, because in case I have to reinstall Ill be screw | 04:10 |
| WXZ | yeats: succelsior | 04:10 |
| yeats | WXZ: it worked? | 04:10 |
| WXZ | yeats: yup | 04:10 |
| yeats | wow - okay | 04:11 |
| yeats | ;-) | 04:11 |
| Gambit- | no, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. | 04:11 |
| WXZ | I think it included dependencies | 04:11 |
| WXZ | that weren't in the main repo | 04:11 |
| Cyrano_De | Gambit-: Sorry you are correct the one I was looking for was http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ | 04:12 |
| yeats | WXZ: cool - well, I'm glad that worked for you | 04:12 |
| Gambit- | Cyrano_De, interesting! It looks a bit abandoned, but I wonder how well it's functional. | 04:12 |

| llolcats | hi does anyone know how i can stop wget from tryingto connect to 1.0.0.0 insted of the ip address of whatever host its trying to connect to | 04:15 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | hello i have a stupid qestion im using xfce4 and i cant seem to find a way to move my panels elements where i want, for example i cant find a way to move the "show desktop" button to the left, out of its default position. | 04:15 |
| blackplague1347 | Anyone know if it's possible to install into VirtualBox with just and .iso file? I'm getting low on cd's/dvds. | 04:16 |
| llolcats | isnt that the normal way to do it | 04:17 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | can anyone help me please? | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | blackplague1347: sure, vbox can mount ISOs in virtual cd drives. Make sure you MD5 test the ISO before use | 04:17 |
| blackplague1347 | llolcats, I always burn disc images to a cd or dvd and install it that way. | 04:18 |
| llolcats | seems like a waste of cds | 04:18 |
| llolcats | lol | 04:18 |
| blackplague1347 | ActionParsnip, is the virtual cd drive setup process a difficult one? I've never done it. | 04:18 |
| entropy4 | blackplague1347, yes, you can mount the iso in virtualbox... its faster that way too because hdd is faster than optical drive | 04:18 |
| blackplague1347 | llolcats, Basically. | 04:18 |
| entropy4 | you select the iso you want to boot from, it doesnt get any simpler.. | 04:18 |
| llolcats | in linux you can mount a iso file to a dirctory with out any additial software | 04:18 |
| llolcats | just with the dd and mount commands | 04:19 |
| decodedthought | <asdfasdfasdfasdf> you have to right click and unlock it | 04:19 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | decodedthought, ? | 04:19 |
| blackplague1347 | entropy4: Okay. I'll try that out. Now, perhaps. | 04:19 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | theres no unlock option anywhere | 04:19 |
| llolcats | I need to find a way to stop wget from trying to connect to 1.0.0.0 | 04:20 |

| Faethin | carlos: I'm sorry to say I can't think of anything else :( | 04:46 |
| carlos | what was the file again so I can see if the change was done | 04:47 |
| Faethin | carlos: sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 04:47 |
| carlos | I didnt save the file so its no your fault | 04:47 |
| Faethin | carlos: you didn't save it? | 04:47 |
| Faethin | carlos: so no change was applied? | 04:47 |
| misteralexander | what command do I use to find out what DRIVERS I already have installed and/or need for otherwise non-functioning devices? | 04:48 |
| Faethin | carlos: well, anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't be of further help | 04:48 |
| Faethin | carlos: I have to go now | 04:48 |
| Faethin | Bye alls! | 04:48 |
| pigiron | wasutton3-Kira: the "hexedit" command is one way. | 04:48 |
| llolcats | lsmod | 04:48 |
| wasutton3-Kira | pigiron: isnt that a gui? | 04:48 |
| llolcats | misteralexander: use lsmod to see what modules are loaded | 04:49 |
| wasutton3-Kira | nevermind thought it was something else | 04:49 |
| misteralexander | llolcats: ah ha. And I'd do "lsmod | grep "DEVICE" for the device I'm trying to troubleshoot, like "Keyboard" or "Touchpad" . . . yes? | 04:49 |
| llolcats | mmm | 04:49 |
| llolcats | well its not that clear | 04:50 |
| llolcats | coz the usally have wierd name | 04:50 |
| llolcats | like usb_hid or somthing | 04:50 |
| llolcats | i think there is a list of the module.o files in lib | 04:50 |
| misteralexander | llolcats: how do I specifically troubleshoot a laptop keyboard and touchpad under 10.10 that are non-functioning? | 04:51 |
| llolcats | whtch is a list of all thye avilible drivers | 04:51 |
| llolcats | or rather kernal modules | 04:51 |
| llolcats | well that problem is more likly todo with your xorg conf | 04:52 |
| llolcats | cd /etc/; find | grep -i xorg | 04:52 |
| misteralexander | I was under the impression that 10.10 doesn't have a static xorg.conf anymore . . . it's all been moved out of reach of an "Average User". | 04:52 |
| llolcats | really? | 04:52 |
| llolcats | nfi | 04:52 |
| wasutton3-Kira | pigiron: is there a way for me to automate the replacement of values? | 04:53 |
| llolcats | well that command i put should find it if its still in /etc/ somwhere | 04:53 |
| misteralexander | yeah, it's gone from 10.04 too. | 04:53 |
| pigiron | wasutton3-Kira: you could use the "tr" command... but you gotta be careful. | 04:53 |
| MrAnthrope | I installed StartUp-Manager which says in the Ubuntu Software Center description it can "Change settings for the bootloader and splash screen". The Help button says it accepts .so format for usplash themes. | 04:53 |
| misteralexander | you CAN have one, and the system will default to it, but by system intsall default . . . it's gone. | 04:53 |
| MrAnthrope | It does not however explain what to do with the .so file... | 04:54 |
| MrAnthrope | When I open the program it just has display size and an option to turn on and off boot splash and show text during boot. | 04:54 |
| Volkodav | I do not see anything wrong in my /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme | 04:54 |
| llolcats | misteralexander: you will probably need one that is slighly customised to your laptop | 04:55 |
| faction918 | Anyone have experence with forwarding port 80 through ssh? | 04:55 |
| misteralexander | llolcats: okay . . . urgh . . . I was trying to avoid that. Thanks! | 04:55 |
| MrAnthrope | I tried opening the .so file with StartUp-Manager but it says could not find application... | 04:55 |
| llolcats | misteralexander: i would reccomend searching google for one | 04:55 |
| Ebrahem | anyone is experienced with ndiswrapper? when I use the xp driver it freezes the entire system (maverick) | 04:56 |
| llolcats | i have found some really obscure ones | 04:56 |

| yitz_ | Is there some quick and easy way to set up a run-once-on-boot script? | 04:57 |
| sexy_ | When I save screenshots to desktop, they dont show up o>O | 04:57 |
| === cultMember is now known as aeMaeth | ||
| MrAnthrope | Well if no one knows what I'm talking about... does anyone at least know if there's an easy way to preview my boot and splash screens without having to keep restarting my computer? | 04:58 |
| sexy_ | And how can I get rid of the 32GB filesystem icon? | 04:58 |
| aeMaeth | my audio hardware keeps getting dropped in ubuntu 10.10 on an asus k60i laptop. in 10.04 when audio failed it would leave the option to disable and reenable the sound hardware, whereas now it just completely forgets it was there in the first place | 04:59 |
| Volkodav | anybody else has troubles adding/changing splash images in grub2 ? | 05:00 |
| faction918 | MrAnthrope, I never found a way :/ | 05:00 |
| WorkingOnWise | whats a simple way to revert back to gnome if unity does like my pen on my tablet pc? | 05:00 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm having trouble changing my splash screen but I don't know what grub2 is. | 05:00 |
| faction918 | MrAnthrope, do you know what grub is? | 05:00 |
| MrAnthrope | Nope. Just installed Linux. | 05:00 |
| faction918 | Grub controlls multiable OS's | 05:01 |
| faction918 | like if you have a dual boot machine... | 05:01 |
| faction918 | is that what your looking for? | 05:01 |
| MrAnthrope | I have a bunch of files and none of them have worked so far. The only thing that has worked was the thing I downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center. | 05:01 |
| faction918 | You want to change your splash screens? Like what you see at startup? (MrAnthrope) | 05:02 |
| ferris_ | MrAnthrope what are you trying to do? | 05:02 |
| Volkodav | even the ones from the package do not work for me on 2 boxes | 05:02 |
| Volkodav | both 64 bit | 05:02 |
| MrAnthrope | And it still didn't change that fugly low-res purple lens-flare crap when I go to log in. | 05:02 |
| MrAnthrope | Yeah what I see at start up. :) | 05:02 |
| MrAnthrope | That's called the splash screen right? | 05:02 |
| faction918 | that's what i call it, haha. hang on | 05:03 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 05:03 |
| Volkodav | console entries | 05:03 |
| MrAnthrope | I just want something simple and plain and not purple and fugly and low-res. | 05:03 |
| MrAnthrope | They really picked a horrible theme for LTS. | 05:03 |
| MrAnthrope | I almost stopped installing it because it was purple. | 05:03 |
| MrAnthrope | The first splash screen I tried was incredibly simple. Almost as simple as changing the background. | 05:04 |
| ferris_ | MrAnthrope install Ubuntu Tweaks | 05:05 |
| MrAnthrope | But these others aren't through that Software Center thing, they're jsut files. And they won't do anything. | 05:05 |
| Volkodav | Does not work for me | 05:05 |
| ferris_ | you can make the change from it | 05:05 |
| Volkodav | I pasted /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme | 05:05 |
| ferris_ | very easily | 05:05 |
| swim | hey, does anybody know where i can find a chan for lamp??? | 05:05 |
| rezolute | its funny when people let something like a splash screen embitter them. | 05:05 |
| MrAnthrope | What can I say I'm embittered :) | 05:05 |
| xinen007_ | hey | 05:06 |
| MrAnthrope | Ubuntu Tweaks isn't coming up in my Software Center search, ferris_ . | 05:06 |
| sexy_ | Is there anyway to "refresh" the desktop? | 05:06 |
| xinen007_ | sexy | 05:07 |
| MrAnthrope | Switch desktops? | 05:07 |
| sexy_ | No | 05:07 |
| sexy_ | My saved screenshots to the desktop arnt showing up | 05:07 |
| MrAnthrope | Like, switch to a second desktop then switch back. Won't that refresh it? | 05:07 |
| === jeremy is now known as Guest11571 | ||
| MrAnthrope | I think there's a hotkey to switch desks but I don't know it. | 05:07 |
| Volkodav | http://pastie.org/1304721 | 05:07 |
| lucent | I've packaged up a new cd ripping program that uses libcdio backend and has support for sample offsets, ala Exact Audio Copy ; who wants to rip some CDs and help test it? | 05:08 |
| Volkodav | the theme is here | 05:08 |
| ferris_ | MrAnthrope... I will paste a link... or you could search http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk | 05:08 |
| MrAnthrope | lol I'll search the link, thanks. | 05:08 |
| f3661 | join #dellstreak | 05:08 |
| faction918 | MrAnthrope, I left the conversation for a minute so I don't know where you left off; search a thing called plymouth. That is what ubunutu uses to display the screen during boot. This is different, however, form the grub splash (which you should not see unless you dual boot) and different from the logon screen. Here is a reference link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html | 05:09 |
| sexy_ | Mranthrope, nope that isn't working =/ | 05:10 |
| dmenear | Ubuntu just pushed a plymouth update... | 05:10 |
| sexy_ | Maybe it will fix itself after a restart | 05:10 |
| sexy_ | Anyway to take off the 32GB filesystem icon though? | 05:10 |
| ferris_ | MrAnthrope... search for "10 things to do after installing ubuntu" there will be two links one for each 10.4 and 10.10... they are different but both have great suggestions for noobs | 05:10 |
| wh1t5_ | Ubuntu Linux isn't meant for stupid people. | 05:10 |
| Ebrahem | is it possible to load a 32bit driver in 64bit OS? | 05:10 |
| MrAnthrope | Yeah the Plymouth thing I downloaded, also fugly. Though it worked! lol | 05:11 |
| dmenear | heh | 05:11 |
| MrAnthrope | Some ugly blue blob thing and it says UB and then black screen and then back to the purple low res lens flare of doom | 05:11 |
| MrAnthrope | OF DOOOOM | 05:11 |
| faction918 | haha | 05:11 |
| faction918 | like the Windows BSOD | 05:11 |
| MrAnthrope | I was actually just looking at "10 things to do..." :) | 05:12 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: nope | 05:12 |
| faction918 | Kubuntu is 'pretty' | 05:12 |
| MrAnthrope | I love things that are packaged in .deb | 05:13 |
| MrAnthrope | Why is everything not like this? | 05:13 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, if the 64bit driver freezes the pc, that means I should find an alternative driver, right? | 05:13 |
| lucent | How do I get something packaged in .deb included into Ubuntu? | 05:13 |
| ferris_ | yep... .deb is sweet | 05:13 |
| srini | i got initramfs error while booting... | 05:13 |
| ferris_ | but so is "sudo apt-get install -f..." | 05:14 |
| srini | how to solve this problem | 05:14 |
| MrAnthrope | I haven't had to open the terminal yet. I'm pretty impressed. | 05:14 |
| MrAnthrope | 10.04 is definitely the best version yet. | 05:14 |
| lucent | srini: get your system booted somehow, and then 'update-initramfs -k all -u' | 05:14 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: probably... *if* that's the problem. | 05:14 |
| sexy_ | So how can I get wine to work? | 05:15 |
| windowshasyou | sexy_: If you really have to ask that, you shouldn't be using linux. | 05:15 |
| misteralexander | windowshasyou: ROFL | 05:15 |
| lucent | windowshasyou: tsk tsk | 05:15 |
| ferris_ | did you install wine with synaptic? | 05:15 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, what do you mean? | 05:15 |
| MrAnthrope | I think it highly depends on what you are trying to install with Wine. Especially with games they usually have a tutorial on the Wine website. | 05:15 |
| sexy_ | Ehh we all need to start somewhere buddy... | 05:15 |
| sirninja | Does anybody know how to blacklist my wireless from automatically connecting to an AP? | 05:16 |
| sexy_ | Yes I think I installed it with synaptic | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 05:16 |
| misteralexander | sexy_: do you already have wine installed? | 05:16 |
| jisiko | hi guys | 05:16 |
| sexy_ | Yes, let me give you the error it gives me | 05:16 |
| jisiko | how do i install virtual machines | 05:16 |
| srini | lucent: can i use live cd? | 05:16 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: I don't know what your symptom is... are you getting a kernel "oops" when you modprobe a device driver? | 05:16 |
| Volkodav | Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304726 | 05:17 |
| misteralexander | sexy_: cd /usr/bin | 05:17 |
| misteralexander | sexy_: ls | grep wine | 05:17 |
| lucent | srini: sure, put your beer on it | 05:17 |
| WorkingOnWise | whats a simple way to revert back to gnome if unity does like my pen on my tablet pc? | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | jisiko: use virtualbox or vmware | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: That is not your /boot/grub/grub.cfg . | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | WorkingOnWise: log off, select the different desktop, log on | 05:17 |
| misteralexander | sexy_: You see anything wine come up? | 05:17 |
| Volkodav | oh ma bad wrong window | 05:17 |
| faction918 | jisiko: virtural box | 05:17 |
| sexy_ | I see Wine under Applications | 05:18 |
| misteralexander | okay | 05:18 |
| IsmAvatar | Why does my Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen? | 05:18 |
| srini | lucent: how to solve this problem.. should i install initrd? | 05:18 |
| sirninja | Does anybody know how to blacklist my wireless from automatically connecting to a certain access point? | 05:18 |
| misteralexander | lsmAvatar: Ubuntu hates you, that's why. | 05:18 |
| Spoofy | Hello! | 05:18 |
| jisiko | hahah | 05:19 |
| Spoofy | I have an issue that just came up recently. | 05:19 |
| lucent | srini: sorry I'm just not interested to spend the time to go through it with you, it is fixable though | 05:19 |
| WorkingOnWise | ActionParsnip, what is a keyboard only way to log off? Without a Super key also. | 05:19 |
| misteralexander | sirninja: you can blacklist the BSSID in your hosts file | 05:19 |
| srini | lucent: ok sir | 05:19 |
| sexy_ | Ahh ok, I think i got it working o.O | 05:19 |
| misteralexander | it won't connect to THAT AP. | 05:19 |
| lucent | \o/ sexy | 05:19 |
| sirninja | misteralexander: How exactly do I do that? | 05:19 |
| ferris_ | ok great | 05:19 |
| Spoofy | I had installed ubuntu, and then made another partition and then installed windows 7, however windows 7 removed ubuntu from my bootloader. I tried following guides online with the use of the ubuntu live CD, but it never worked out and I kept getting errors. | 05:19 |
| misteralexander | sirninja: hold on . . . I've got it, let me copy it. | 05:20 |
| Volkodav | Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304731 | 05:20 |
| lucent | Spoofy: was it an msdos or gpt disklabel? | 05:20 |
| i_is_broke | Spoofy: did you put windows on first partition? | 05:20 |
| lucent | msdos is "MBR" and gpt is mac osx, win7 | 05:20 |
| jisiko | how can i run other virtual operation systems as virtual machines? | 05:20 |
| Spoofy | No I put it on the second. | 05:20 |
| IsmAvatar | * Not starting jetty | 05:21 |
| jisiko | can any one help | 05:21 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper returns nothing | 05:21 |
| IsmAvatar | that's something it tells me at the boot screen. | 05:21 |
| lucent | !kvm | jisiko | 05:21 |
| ubottu | jisiko: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 05:21 |
| jisiko | i need to run linux 5.4 and probably some windows oses and virtual machines | 05:21 |
| Spoofy | I'm not too good with ubuntu, but I can manage a little. | 05:21 |
| i_is_broke | yeah but the virtualbox you get from their site gives you usb support does kvm? | 05:21 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, lshw shows the driver is mdiswrapper+netathuwx | 05:21 |
| Volkodav | Jordan_U: It only reads 2 lines from /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme for some reason | 05:22 |
| Ebrahem | ndiswrapper+netathuwx* | 05:22 |
| misteralexander | sirninja: it's all done in your /etc/hosts.deny file . . . google that & it'll walk you through it. | 05:22 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: argh! A ndiswrapper problem... you had problems the native driver? | 05:22 |
| Spoofy | So is anyone familiar with my issue? | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: Add GRUB_BACKGROUND=/usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga to /etc/default/grub. | 05:23 |
| misteralexander | sexy_: what was the problem? | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jisiko: there is no linux 5.4 | 05:23 |
| WXZ | I'm trying to write a bash script which compiles and runs a c# program | 05:23 |
| WXZ | how would I do that? | 05:23 |
| sirninja | misteralexander: I thought hosts.deny required ip addresses, it works with mac addresses as well? | 05:23 |
| lucent | ActionParsnip: he's from the distant future | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: Though since grub supports png also, and at a higher quality than that tga, I would recommend you use a png/jpeg image instead. | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: very distant indeed | 05:23 |
| Spoofy | WXZ did you install mono? | 05:23 |
| i_is_broke | Spoofy: im pretty sure win 7 has to be installed on the first partition but not 100% | 05:23 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, no native driver works with my usb, dlink dwa 126, the one i am using is windows' 64bit. | 05:23 |
| WXZ | Spoofy: yes | 05:23 |
| Volkodav | Let me try Jordan_U | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: it doesnt matter, it's all handled for you | 05:24 |
| Spoofy | Can I just switch the partitions with Gpartion on the ubuntu live CD? | 05:24 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip: then why did it remove ubuntu thebn? | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: not sure, i dont use windows | 05:24 |
| IsmAvatar | What is Jetty, and why do I have it installed such that it's printing messages at my boot screen? | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: but grub doesn't care where it is | 05:25 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip: haha me either...lol | 05:25 |
| Spoofy | WXZ, I'm not too good with bash, but I've compiled C# programs before using linux. | 05:25 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip: yeah i know grub dont, but windows does care where it is, and i think it is suppose to be like the first partition | 05:25 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: according to Wikipedia there are very few 64 bit Windows XP drivers available for use with ndiswrapper. | 05:25 |
| WXZ | Spoofy: I have to, I just want a faster way to do it other than going into terminal | 05:25 |
| Spoofy | Ah, I see. | 05:26 |
| WXZ | and then cding into the right directory | 05:26 |
| WXZ | then running gmcs, then running mono | 05:26 |
| Spoofy | Have you tried using monodevelop? | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | pigiron: use the vista 64bit drivers, should be ok | 05:26 |
| sirninja | misteralexander: And is that the best way to do this? I'm on a network with many access points and it just so happens the one closest to my room doesn't function properly, but it has the strongest signal here, so ubuntu defaults to that one | 05:26 |
| i_is_broke | Spoofy: its a lot easier if you install windows first as well. | 05:26 |
| Volkodav | Jordan_U: still does not work | 05:26 |
| Spoofy | Yeah, but I don't want to reinstall ubuntu :( It took me so long to get me the write setup heh | 05:26 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, if my usb vendor/device is listed in wireless.kernel.org, it should natively work right? | 05:26 |
| Volkodav | sudo update-grub does not see thew image | 05:27 |
| WXZ | Spoofy: yeah, I guess I'll stick to monodevelop | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: I believe nm can be told to ignore certain SSIDs | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: Can you pastebin your current /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 05:27 |
| Spoofy | Do you think it's the best if I install windows first? | 05:27 |
| === sonic is now known as sonicdh | ||
| i_is_broke | Spoofy: have you updated grub after installing windows.? | 05:27 |
| sonicdh | Hey guys, hows it going? | 05:27 |
| sirninja | ActionParsnip: Well, they all have the same ssid's it's the bssid's that are different | 05:27 |
| ferris_ | Spoofy... yes do install winblows first and then linux | 05:27 |
| misteralexander | sirninja: Hmm . . . I think I misunderstood your problem . . . I'm checking right now. | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Spoofy: if you do then the dual boot will be handled cleaner, install windows to only a portion of the drive space rather than the default 100% and you wont have to mess with resizing | 05:27 |
| pigiron | ActionParsnip: then Wikipedia is out of date... it says ndiswrapper doesn't support NDIS 6. | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | pigiron: update it then, it's a wiki | 05:28 |
| Balsaq | u are supposed to install w7 1st not ubuntu on a dual booter | 05:28 |
| Spoofy | Ah, darn. | 05:28 |
| i_is_broke | thanks i thought so | 05:28 |
| sonicdh | Is anyone else getting a 404 when trying to his the main i386 sources for makerick when you do an apt-get update? | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Balsaq: you can do it either, win first is just easier | 05:28 |
| Volkodav | Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304741 | 05:28 |
| sonicdh | *hit | 05:28 |
| pigiron | ActionParsnip: i guess you need to update it if you think it's wrong. | 05:28 |
| Balsaq | yes much easier | 05:28 |
| Balsaq | so he /she just need to install grub now right? | 05:29 |
| Spoofy | Is there anyway I can get to my ubuntu parition for now? Or must I just reinstall everything? | 05:29 |
| sonicdh | Anybody? | 05:29 |
| i_is_broke | Spoofy: try updating grub and see if it sees it. | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | pigiron: i dont edit wikipedia, or use ndiswrapper | 05:29 |
| sirninja | ActionParsnip: do you think wicd would have more options? | 05:29 |
| Spoofy | Do I just go to the ubuntu life CD and do sudo apt-get install grub? | 05:30 |
| pigiron | ActionParsnip: neither do I | 05:30 |
| Balsaq | i have seen documentation somewhere on installing or upgdating grub after the fact or repairing it after windows wrecks it | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: worth a try :) | 05:30 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: And your /etc/default/grub? | 05:30 |
| Volkodav | keep scrolling | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Balsaq: sure, but you can then boot to liveCD and put grub back in | 05:30 |
| Volkodav | it is in the same post Jordan_U | 05:30 |
| infid | i have dual monitors using 'twin view'. How can i make it so that both monitors' windows 'tabs' aren't all on one monitor? it clogs it up | 05:30 |
| Ebrahem | ActionParsnip, vista64bit drivers says "hardware present: no" in ndiswrapper | 05:30 |
| sexy_ | Ok one more thing | 05:31 |
| Balsaq | yes correct ActionParsnip | 05:31 |

| pigiron | Ebrahem: can you pastebin the output of "lsusb -v" while the wireless device is plugged in? | 05:31 |
| mcnuggets | How do I go about removing anything that has to do with Google from my system. Is there a wild card for removing anything with google in the name | 05:31 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, sure | 05:31 |
| lucent | mcnuggets: did you install using deb packages, or by "make install" / installer-ing random things | 05:32 |
| misteralexander | sirninja: I think I might over thinking this . . . you HAVE tried to use the built in GUI frontend for configuring your wireless, right? | 05:32 |
| mcnuggets | lucent: Neither. I just did an Dist upgrade with apt-get in Terminal and I seen a few headers or something with Google in the name. | 05:33 |
| misteralexander | sirninja: In that you can choose to deny or "Auto" connect and stuff like that. You can prefer a different network than just the one with the strongest bars. | 05:33 |
| Syco54645 | hello, i am unfamiliar with grub2, how would i add the boot option pci=routeirq to my grub.cfg? | 05:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Ebrahem: try win7 then | 05:34 |
| Volkodav | all files seem ok huh ? | 05:34 |
| Jordan_U | Volkodav: What is the output of "file /usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga"? | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Syco54645: you don't add it to grub.cfg, that file is generated | 05:34 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, http://pastebin.com/iDHBX6Pt | 05:34 |
| Syco54645 | ActionParsnip: i realize that but i would like to add that boot option. can you point me to where i get that information at? | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | Syco54645: /etc/default/grub | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Syco54645: you add it in the quotes with: quiet splash in /etc/default/grub you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub to get write access | 05:35 |
| Ebrahem | ActionParsnip, already did. now reading wireless.kernel.org and trying to figure how to install the combat-wireless river | 05:35 |

| AbhiJit | hello | 05:35 |
| lexvegas | mcnuggets, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to remove google sources. | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Syco54645: once you edit and save the file, run: sudo update-grub and it will put the settings in the grub.cfg file the right way | 05:35 |
| sirninja | misteralexander: That could work, but there are A LOT of access points here (college campus) and only 1 I know of that doesn't work | 05:35 |
| lexvegas | mcnuggets, just delete the lines with google in it | 05:35 |

| Syco54645 | ActionParsnip: thanks! | 05:36 |
| sirninja | misteralexander: Definitely a fix for when I'm here though, just have to look for a way to switch it out easily I guess | 05:36 |
| Ebrahem | ActionParsnip, usb wireless dlink dwa 126 | 05:36 |
| Syco54645 | hopefully this fixes the slow write to usb drives.... | 05:36 |
| mcnuggets | lexvegas: Good stuff. Not quite the answer I was looking for but it's a start. Thank you muchly | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Syco54645: it will also add to all subsequent kernels, grub legacy didnt do this and was a right pain | 05:37 |
| Syco54645 | ActionParsnip: yeah i can see how this is a nicer setup | 05:37 |
| banker247 | whats the difference between /etc/bash.bashrc and /home/username/.bashrc | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ebrahem: i'd sell it, or swap it with a windows user for one which works well with linux | 05:37 |
| lexvegas | mcnuggets, no problem | 05:37 |
| rezolute | does usb3 work properly in 10.10? | 05:37 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: thanks... I'm looking into it. | 05:37 |
| Syco54645 | saves me from having to edit menu.lst over and over again | 05:37 |
| misteralexander | sirninja -- LOL, just walk around & gather AP info . . . when Ubuntu gets a good list going, you can just prefer certain ones over others. | 05:39 |
| misteralexander | exit | 05:39 |
| sirninja | misteralexander? how do I prefer some over others if they have the same SSID? | 05:39 |
| AbhiJit | anyone using burg? does it bring load to boot time or boot process due to graphics? is it slow compared to normal grub? is it easy to configure? | 05:40 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: The VendorID:DeviceID is 07d1:3a10... so you have a Atheros AR9271 chipset... which should be supported since the 2.6.31 kernel... what's your kernel version? | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | AbhiJit: burg isnt supported here | 05:41 |
| AbhiJit | ActionParsnip, ok. where can i ask about it? | 05:42 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, uname -a shows Linux Ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic | 05:42 |

| ActionParsnip | cortexman: if you are behind a router an want access from the www you will need your router manual | 05:49 |
| IsmAvatar | ActionParsnip: maybe. I'll have to reboot to find out. But I was getting a bunch of messages appearing on the boot screen. A half dozen from VMWare, which I uninstalled since I dont' use it anymore. | 05:49 |

| ActionParsnip | cortexman: you stated you wanted to perform http redirects which sounded like you wanted to run a web facing server with you running apache | 05:51 |
| lexvegas | banker247, if you are on a desktop setting, choose logout from the power menu, if you are in a terminal type setting i believe exit is the command | 05:52 |

| MrAnthrope | Despite my outrage over the fact that I can't seem to change the fugly purple screen of doom I'm really digging Ubuntu 10.04 | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | clu3: when you boot to the CD you can tell the CD to test itself to see if the burn process was ok, on the same screen you can also test ram. When you start booting the CD pres SPACEBAR and the old school Ubuntu boot screen will show, you should check both | 06:01 |
| clu3 | Balsaq, thanks, that could be my case too | 06:01 |
| IsmAvatar | infid: I don't think that's what I'm looking for. At shutdown, I see a message printed that says "Asking all remaining processes to terminate", but I don't see that in dmesg. | 06:01 |

| ActionParsnip | !panelreset | A_New_Server | 06:13 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip, ? i dont follo | 06:13 |
| ubottu | A_New_Server: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: was the other system you want to copy TO a different PC? | 06:13 |
| Balsaq | needhelp1, maybe someone else can chime in but i think sometimes issues occur between files transferred between ext4 to ntfs | 06:13 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip, yeah | 06:13 |
| Sn4k3 | recording the screen with ffmpeg | 06:13 |
| Sn4k3 | help | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: ok how did you remove the drive from the first system? | 06:14 |
| Sn4k3 | theres no sound | 06:14 |
| Balsaq | needhelp1, i think files can be tranferred easier from ext4 to FAT | 06:14 |
| freakabcd | Jordan_U, there isn't anything out of the ordinary other than stuupid nouveau messages | 06:14 |
| needhelp1 | Sn4k3, can you use gtk record my desktop? ITS in the software center, its better | 06:14 |
| freakabcd | so i assume if i do a text mode install everything will be fast and spiffy | 06:14 |
| Sn4k3 | but theres a codec problem with that so... | 06:14 |
| A_New_Server | Thanks guys | 06:14 |
| freakabcd | i hate the nouveau drive with a passion now | 06:14 |
| freakabcd | driver | 06:14 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip, copied the files over and right click to safely remove the drive .. its usb | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | freakabcd: sure, you don't need to load a bulky x server to get installing :) | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: just checking you did the safe remove ;) | 06:15 |
| freakabcd | ActionParsnip, but its on a friend's machine. so i thought i'd show him a gui installer and such | 06:15 |
| freakabcd | install.py is eating 100% cpu according to top | 06:15 |
| freakabcd | machine itself is kinda crawling now. no idea when it will finish installing if ever! | 06:15 |
| sonicdh | okay, so I'm still getting the erros with updating. | 06:16 |
| sonicdh | here is a copy of the verbose. http://tinypaste.com/1caf23 | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: if you chkdsk the partition, it may help | 06:16 |
| bojangles | i'm getting a "./a.out permission denied error" when running off an ntfs partition...this didn't happen in previous ubuntu versions...does anyone have a solution? thanks | 06:16 |
| needhelp1 | ActionParsnip, since the external is nfts, and the other drive is nfts, there shouldnt be an issue there right, so its probablly permissions ? | 06:17 |
| swimb | im running a live cd and trying to build source from it but im out of space, how can i get more space? | 06:18 |
| IsmAvatar | Not really having a whole lot of luck here. I just want to find out what the text Ubuntu is outputting all over the boot screen where it shows the Ubuntu logo | 06:18 |
| IsmAvatar | and likewise for the shutdown screen | 06:18 |
| lucent | swimb: install ? | 06:18 |
| lucent | livecd is not meant to be an environment for compilation | 06:18 |
| swimb | ah ok | 06:19 |
| sonicdh | Actionparsnip, I'm still getting errors when updating. Here is a copy of the verbose. http://tinypaste.com/1caf23 | 06:19 |
| Balsaq | NTFS and other Windows fs types are very different from Linux native file systems. | 06:19 |
| A_New_Server | How do I get permission to add fonts to the font folder? | 06:20 |
| lucent | A_New_Server: you shouldn't have to do that | 06:20 |
| A_New_Server | It says I'm not the owner when I go to properties -> permissions and when I try to copy over the fonts it doesn't work | 06:21 |
| patsbin | any devs in here or anybody that can tell me when the new pidgin version is in the repos? Any workaround for the not working icq protocol atm? | 06:21 |
| lucent | A_New_Server: create a '.fonts' directory in your home directory, drop them in there | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | sonicdh: you should run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com $1 | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | sonicdh: you should run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9F | 06:21 |
| lucent | patsbin: er... probably not, but this one is easy to find out | 06:21 |
| joeyjones | any idea how to force the update manager to display the upgrade button to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04? | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | sonicdh: you have added a ppa withuot the key | 06:21 |
| A_New_Server | lucent, how do I know if it worked? | 06:22 |
| patsbin | lucent: pardon? | 06:22 |
| A_New_Server | Oh wait nevermind, I'm a retard | 06:22 |
| lucent | patsbin: 'dpkg -l pidgin' to show installed pidgin version, and then see if it matches the version released at Pidgin website http://pidgin.im | 06:22 |
| bojangles | has anyone run into problems running executables off of other partitions, etc. in 10.10? | 06:22 |
| sonicdh | actionparsnip: but I added those ages ago and this is the first time I've had this problem | 06:22 |
| MrAnthrope | 10.10 runs .exe files? | 06:22 |
| patsbin | lucent: I already know that there is a new version. | 06:23 |
| lucent | patsbin: have a look at http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ | 06:23 |
| lucent | it's right on the website | 06:23 |
| bojangles | sorry, it's an a.out file | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sonicdh: change server from the main server, it may help | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | MrAnthrope: sure if you install wine | 06:23 |
| bojangles | but it doesn't have execute permissions | 06:23 |
| MrAnthrope | lol | 06:23 |
| patsbin | lucent: Just wanted to know, if anybody know when the new version will be available in the repository. | 06:23 |
| lucent | it won't, patsbin | 06:24 |
| ActionParsnip | MrAnthrope: check the appdb for compatibility | 06:24 |
| lucent | also explained right on their website. | 06:24 |
| sonicdh | actionparsnip, here's the feedback from the code you asked me to run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9 | 06:24 |
| sonicdh | oops | 06:24 |
| === wjrcloud is now known as jediwjr | ||
| sonicdh | sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9 | 06:24 |
| sonicdh | gpg: "9FF820FA298C1C9" not a key ID: skipping | 06:25 |
| sonicdh | there | 06:25 |
| patsbin | lucent: so ubuntu is fine with a pidgin version with broken icq support atm? | 06:25 |
| lucent | patsbin: yeah, that's not a security vulnerability, use the PPA from the project website | 06:26 |
| Sn4k3 | Ubuntu 10.10 dosent work of live flashdrive? | 06:26 |
| bojangles | 10.10 won't allow me to change the executable permissions | 06:26 |
| patsbin | lucent: crazy shit. ubuntu sucks more and more every day | 06:26 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: did you try chmod? | 06:26 |
| * lucent sighs | 06:26 | |
| lucent | waste of my time luser | 06:26 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: yes, unfortunately | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Sn4k3: yes it does, its a great way to install to netbooks | 06:27 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: and so sudo chmod? | 06:27 |
| lucent | Sn4k3: I think Ubuntu 10.10 livecd ISO is difficult to get onto a USB flashdrive correctly | 06:27 |
| Sn4k3 | no i have a problem | 06:27 |
| Balsaq | Carplips: the tags you're describing are "file attributes" which AFAIK are supported only within the OS and application, not at the lower file system on the disk. | 06:27 |
| lucent | Sn4k3: it does work, just has some trouble because of conflicting versions of syslinux | 06:27 |
| Sn4k3 | ohh anyway to fix | 06:27 |
| Cyrano_De | Funny, more people would raise a stink if they changed software versions in the same release by default. | 06:27 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: yes, that didn't work either unfortunately | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: it's not there is 1-2-3 app from pendrielinux for windows or unetbootin for both ubuntu and windows | 06:27 |
| Sn4k3 | cuz i want install in my netbook | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: not hard in any way | 06:28 |
| lucent | Sn4k3: if it won't boot correctly, then well, I forgot how to fix it but there's something you can type if you did get a syslinux prompt, I think it's just "live" and enter | 06:28 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: what is output of ls -al a.out ? | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Sn4k3: did you MD5 test the ISO you have? | 06:28 |
| Sn4k3 | yea | 06:28 |
| Cyrano_De | People are given an easy route to move to a newer version and are still not happy. | 06:28 |
| bojangles | -rw------- 1 tom tom 17376 2010-11-17 01:18 a.out | 06:28 |
| lucent | ActionParsnip: syslinux is poofed, I've tried Unetbootin and the Ubuntu image creator, both do it wrong | 06:28 |
| Sn4k3 | and it says some ramzwap thing | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Sn4k3: and what OS are you making the live USB in? | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: tried pendrive linux 1-2-3 app? | 06:29 |
| Sn4k3 | ubuntu 10.10 | 06:29 |
| lucent | ActionParsnip: no, it was not suggested to me by Ubuntu docs to try pendrive linux 1-2-3 app | 06:29 |
| Sn4k3 | cuz my desktop runs it fine cuz i used a cd | 06:29 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: what is the output of sudo chmod +x a.out ? | 06:29 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: there's no out | 06:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: its a windows app and can downloaded the iso for you and MD5 test all in one, its nifty :) | 06:29 |
| lucent | ActionParsnip: I'll remember that next time I have access to Windows ? :) | 06:30 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: after trying that try ./a.out ,what is the output? | 06:30 |
| Cyrano_De | What would they be saying about Ubuntu if the newer version of pidgin were added mid release cycle and all of their contacts and logs got deleted.... | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: ok, if you have network access the run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install usb-creator usb-creator-gtk so its the latest one then use that | 06:30 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: bash: ./a.out: Permission denied | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lucent: nice | 06:30 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: try sh a.out | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bojangles: sudo chown $USER:$USER ./a.out then retry | 06:31 |
| lucent | it's been a decade now without Microsoft, pretty much wonder when something better than Ubuntu is going to come along so I can use that | 06:31 |
| bonez2046 | could I make a print server from an old ubuntu box.. so that I can share my parallel ported laser jet iii p on my LAN? | 06:31 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: does "ls /lib/firmware/ar7010*" produce a hit? | 06:31 |
| lucent | bonez2046: ah, you could. The LJ IIIP is a nice old printer for sure ;) | 06:32 |
| lucent | bonez2046: aren't your rubber rollers worn out and cracked yet though? | 06:32 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: we bought this one damned near 20 years ago .. still works great.. have repaired a few things on it | 06:32 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, no such file or directory | 06:32 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: I have replaced the clutch, the laser, and the rollers.. I think the top rollers are due for replacement | 06:32 |
| lucent | that thing is older than Office Space | 06:33 |
| lucent | LP LOAD LTR | 06:33 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: check out this web page... http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc | 06:33 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533368/ | 06:33 |
| bojangles | ActionParsnip: that didn't seem to do anything | 06:33 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: yeah.. I am installing 10.10 on an older deskpro.. hoping to plug this printer as well as a scanner into this box.. to act as my print and scan server | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bojangles: it changed the file ownership to your current user, you should now have access | 06:34 |
| lucent | bonez2046: usb-parallel adapter on your desktop machine might be more efficient | 06:34 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: I know I could buy a box from HP et al, that would give the printer an IP.. but this box is just sitting around.. | 06:35 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: what type of file is it? is it a compiled file actually? does gedit a.out shows any readable texts? | 06:35 |
| lucent | personally I wouldn't be able to justify the electricity | 06:35 |
| bojangles | ActionParsnip: a.out doesn't show up as executable though | 06:35 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: usb-parallel? is that a hardware device? | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bojangles: thn run: chmod +x a.out | 06:35 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: argh! I should have said "ls /lib/firmware/ar9271*" | 06:35 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: it's compiled f90 code | 06:35 |
| lucent | bonez2046: yeah it's parallel port on one side, and usb on the other, so you can plug old stuff into USB capable computer | 06:35 |
| lucent | instead of a print server though, just plug it in when you need it or what | 06:36 |
| bojangles | ActionParsnip: that still isn't changing anything | 06:36 |
| Gorroth | hi | 06:36 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: ... at least I think /lib/firmware is correct... I don't run Ubuntu. | 06:36 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: fortran? | 06:36 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: yes, sorry | 06:36 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: well, my wife and boys print to this printer.. on home LAN.. so I need to have it on.. but I guess they COULD send their jobs to it and then come down and switch the printer on | 06:36 |
| Gorroth | alright, i'm a bit confused here. how in the heck do i add a "Terminal" icon or something to the kubuntu netbook GUI? | 06:36 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, yes one hit, /lib/firmware/ar9271.fw | 06:36 |
| Gorroth | i found out how to add apps | 06:37 |
| Gorroth | but it's freakin' confusing | 06:37 |
| lucent | bonez2046: lights dim when you turn it on? ;) | 06:37 |
| bonez2046 | lucent: no, they are fine.. | 06:37 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: do you have a /var/log/messages file? | 06:37 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: try gfortran to compile, did you did so ? | 06:37 |
| lucent | I'm just kidding, wandering o/t | 06:38 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: yes, that's how i compiled it | 06:38 |
| linux_probe | printserver, or get a networkable printer :) | 06:38 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, yeah | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bojangles: is a.out in $HOME? | 06:38 |
| bojangles | ActionParsnip: no, it's on an ntfs partition where i store all my files | 06:38 |
| MrAnthrope | But why is the splash screen purple? This seems like a bad decision. | 06:38 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: k... what does it say after you "sudo modprobe -r ath9k_htc" and then "sudo modprobe ath9k_htc"? | 06:39 |
| bojangles | I'm assuming it will run on the linux partition, but it used to not have to be that way (pre-10.10) | 06:39 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: if it works in linux partition make it executable from a linux partition and copy or dd it back | 06:40 |
| bonez2046 | linux_probe: the purpose in setting up server is to NOT have to buy a new networked printer | 06:40 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, registered new interface driver ath9k_hif_usb | 06:40 |
| linux_probe | didnt see that part | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bojangles: ahhh, thats why. NTFS is too primitive to store UNIX permissions which is why you are getting issues. If you move it to an Ext3/4 etc partition, it will be fine | 06:40 |
| bonez2046 | linux_probe: no worry | 06:40 |
| doomgiver | hey guys, i cant get into the ##c++ channel | 06:40 |
| chid | did you registeR? | 06:41 |
| doomgiver | it says "cannot send to channel | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | doomgiver: i think you need to register | 06:41 |
| bojangles | ActionParsnip: this wasn't an issue until i upgraded though | 06:41 |
| doomgiver | i have to do it in EACH channel? | 06:41 |
| bojangles | i could run things off external hard drives too | 06:41 |
| lucent | ActionParsnip: I'd guess that it's set when you mount NTFS to disallow executing programs from that mountpoint? not the permissions issue | 06:41 |
| lucent | well it could be permissions are forced -x by default | 06:42 |

| Ebrahem | pigiron, nope | 06:44 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: i can set the permissions in my linux file system but i lose them when i copy it back to the ntfs partition | 06:44 |

| A_New_Server | I'm trying to put a globalmenu on Ubuntu and I found this link on google (http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu), for step 3, how do I know which one of those I am using | 06:44 |
| lucent | wrektjet: System | Perversions | Sound ; select webcam for input, quit skype, open skype, skype preferences and check everything out | 06:44 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: crap... I'm tapped out... I just can't see why it's not firing up. | 06:45 |
| lucent | lol @ bojangles | 06:45 |
| lucent | cracks me up | 06:45 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: after making it executable try copying it back with dd command | 06:46 |
| lucent | you people... doin' it wrong | 06:46 |
| lucent | the mount could be forcing default permissions mask | 06:46 |
| A_New_Server | How do I know if I'm using Karmic Koala, Jaunty Jackalope, Intrepid Ibex or Hardy Heron, also what are those? | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | A_New_Server: lsb_release -c will tell you | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | A_New_Server: the repo only has up to lucid on so is no use if you are using maverick | 06:48 |
| bojangles | pksadiq: i'm not sure how to use dd, but either way, i can't really keep copying a file back and forth...it just seems strange that upgrading would force people to migrate files? | 06:49 |
| A_New_Server | Hmm, having a bigger problem now, my terminal won't start | 06:49 |

| pksadiq | bojangles: after making it executable use the command dd if=/path/to/a.out of=/path/to/ntfs/a.out | 06:50 |
| lucent | CaneToad: thanks, it's been noted before, but yeah what a tricky problem | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | A_New_Server: many do :) | 06:50 |
| A_New_Server | It says I have lucid, which isn't a listed thing on step 3, is there a way to get around that or change my [whatever that is]? | 06:51 |
| pksadiq | bojangles: please not that if you use dd command in a rong way , it might mess up your partition | 06:51 |
| pksadiq | wrong* | 06:51 |
| pksadiq | note* | 06:51 |
| bojangles | okay, i'm probably not going to bother trying that then | 06:51 |

| lyj | does anyone know the screensaver in ubuntu? | 06:57 |
| jshmoe24 | @anyone, I tried to install a .deb package through the ubuntu software center but it stalled out and then I went to cancel it and it is just stuck on cancel. I have tried sudo apt-get remove <package name>, sudo dpkg --remove <package name> and it still isnt working | 06:57 |
| Sn4k3 | how to record your screen with FFmpeg ?? | 06:57 |
| lyj | I want to find the one with a green radar scanning | 06:57 |
| A_New_Server | Also another thing (HOPEFULLY THE LAST >.>), software sources blinks with what looks like the box that prompts for a password and then disappears right after, how can I get it to work? | 06:57 |
| A_New_Server | (I'm a complete noob :[ ) | 06:57 |
| jshmoe24 | Just stays stuck on cancel :( <-- sadface | 06:58 |
| shawnboy | MrAnthrope: When you see Grub, hit Esc, read what you have to push to get to command line. Then run "vbeinfo" to see what resolutions your computer will support in that mode. | 06:58 |

| MrAnthrope | I don't see any grubs. | 06:58 |

| jshmoe24 | will try and report back, appreciated | 06:59 |
| MrAnthrope | it just says UBUNTU . . . . . | 06:59 |
| A_New_Server | Do you have any idea on the other problem? It's odd that it's doing that just like the terminal was | 07:00 |
| shawnboy | MrAnthrope: I thought you meant Grub 2 wallpaper. nevermind. | 07:00 |

| A_New_Server | Actually, EVERYTHING is doing that now, do you think restarting would help or is there a better solution? (Or solution period, not sure if restarting would even work) | 07:00 |

| lucent | chris0626891: I don't understand why anyone uses KDE, nor have I had an application that forces me to use KDE, ever. so, uh take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:01 |

| ubottu | chris0626891: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:01 |
| wrektjet | lucent not sure what caused the issue. but thanks for putting me in the right spot. i was wasting lots of time in the multimedia selection | 07:02 |
| MrAnthrope | Does anyone know how to disable splash? | 07:02 |
| lucent | shawnboy: medibuntu is not bad, I'd say just take it one codec at a time, if you need support find and install support for it | 07:02 |
| lucent | wrektjet: no problem, glad you got it figured out | 07:02 |
| jshmoe24 | @ActionParSnip E: The package <packagenamehere> needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 07:02 |
| jshmoe24 | wierd huh | 07:03 |
| shawnboy | lucent: ok, so add support for mp3, flac, then chase down what packages are required for x.264, etc? | 07:03 |
| pksadiq | MrAnthrope: by splash do you mean that screen(Logo) at the ubuntu startup? | 07:03 |
| MrAnthrope | Yup. | 07:03 |
| MrAnthrope | The purple screen that says UBUNTU and is purple and has 5 flashing red/white dots on it. | 07:03 |
| MrAnthrope | I want it gone. | 07:03 |
| jshmoe24 | I've been using ubuntu for years and havn't seen this. I don't like the ubuntu software center it crashes too much | 07:03 |
| MrAnthrope | Did I mention it's purple? | 07:03 |
| shawnboy | lucent: I don't know what to look for when it comes to playing DVDs. honestly I don't remember what I installed to get it working in my previous releases. | 07:03 |
| Jordan_U | MrAnthrope: Hold shift during boot and select recovery mode from the grub menu. | 07:03 |
| MrAnthrope | Again about grubs. | 07:04 |
| MrAnthrope | I will try this thing you say. | 07:04 |
| pksadiq | MrAnthrope: just when your computer starts and boots press and hold SHIFT key and then press e and then remove the word quiet from there and press CTRL+X | 07:04 |
| jshmoe24 | @Actionparsnip, didn't work :( | 07:05 |

| wisevoyager | hello everyone! :D | 07:05 |
| jshmoe24 | in ubuntu software center it is right at the end of installing but I canceled and now it is just stuck there | 07:06 |
| jshmoe24 | Is there a way to force uninstall what has already been installed by the .deb? | 07:06 |
| pksadiq | jshmoe24: did you try sudo dpkg -r <package> ? | 07:07 |
| jshmoe24 | Im sure a reboot would do it but that would not teach me much :( | 07:07 |
| jshmoe24 | yes | 07:07 |
| jshmoe24 | @pksadiq, yes | 07:07 |
| jshmoe24 | its being stuburn | 07:07 |
| Maahes | will things that send notices via libnotify show up in the OSD notifier? | 07:08 |
| pksadiq | jshmoe24: did you try sudo dpkg -r --force-all <package> ? | 07:09 |
| jshmoe24 | let me try thx | 07:09 |
| Balsaq | MrAnthrope> did that fix work? | 07:09 |
| jshmoe24 | thank you soooo much worked :p | 07:09 |
| MrAnthrope | Hmm. Holding shift did nothing. It started up as usual. Big purple screen and all. | 07:10 |
| pksadiq | jshmoe24: Welcome | 07:10 |
| jshmoe24 | @pksadiq, Awesome man | 07:10 |
| Maahes | I personally like the old splash screens. | 07:10 |
| pksadiq | jshmoe24: not a man, but a guy ;) | 07:10 |
| MrAnthrope | I second Maahes. | 07:10 |
| Gorroth | okay, starting to get the hang of the netbook edition of kubuntu | 07:10 |
| Balsaq | i just want it too boot up like an ole DOS machine | 07:10 |
| jshmoe24 | :) | 07:10 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: did you say it's a DWA-126 ? | 07:11 |
| jshmoe24 | @pksadiq, Awesome guy | 07:11 |
| Gorroth | don't think i like it as much as the full desktop edition, but i see how it has its merits for this size screen | 07:11 |
| MrAnthrope | Is there a way to do that, balsaq? | 07:11 |
| Ebrahem | pigiron, yeah | 07:11 |
| Maahes | MrAnthrope: I believe there is a way to make grub use the old-style splash screens, but I have been too lazy to do it. | 07:11 |
| MrAnthrope | I don't know what grub means. | 07:11 |
| MrAnthrope | Is that the splash screen? | 07:11 |
| pksadiq | !grub2 | MrAnthrope | 07:11 |
| ubottu | MrAnthrope: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 07:11 |
| Maahes | MrAnthrope: Grub2 its the bootloader for ubuntu. It loads the splashscreen | 07:11 |
| Balsaq | MrAnthrope>prolly but i havent found it yet, it would be cool, all balck and white with numbers and letters flowing by like it was a test or something...old school. | 07:12 |
| * Maahes also really hates OSD, but I haven't found a guide for how to remove it. | 07:12 | |
| MrAnthrope | Yes. Instead of big fugly purple crap. | 07:12 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: This makes no sense... but I found this from russia... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php%3Ftopic%3D122845.0&ei=in3jTMfoMoWKlwffuYnkDA&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%252207d1:3a10%2522%2Bubuntu%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D | 07:12 |
| MrAnthrope | I'm about to uninstall. Or bake a pie. w/e | 07:12 |
| Balsaq | and then at the very end...a black and white password screen all official looking, then right to desktop. | 07:12 |
| Maahes | MrAnthrope: This isn't a make it go away permanently, but if you hit Esc while it loads, it goes away. | 07:12 |
| MrAnthrope | I figured that out when I dropped my beer bottle on my keyboard. | 07:13 |
| pksadiq | MrAnthrope: :D | 07:13 |
| MrAnthrope | I now have a shrine to the beer bottle for making the fugly purple splash screen of doom go away. | 07:13 |
| pigiron | Ebrahem: he got it working by downloading, and compiling a RaLink driver... Huh??? | 07:13 |
| Maahes | will things that send notices via libnotify show up in the OSD notifier? | 07:13 |
| MrAnthrope | So there's no terminal command to just make the splash screen go away? | 07:13 |

| Balsaq | there are so many cool things a computer can do while its booting to desktop, tests, info about hardware, sped tests...would look cool on the way up. | 07:14 |

| jshmoe24 | any ideas | 07:25 |
| jshmoe24 | I think dpkg is locked | 07:25 |
| pksadiq | jshmoe24: kill that app | 07:25 |

| ActionParsnip | nimbiotics: i'd ask in #winehq it may help | 07:42 |
| furi | chipmink, anyways, i couldn't reinstall if i wanted to, for some reason, my ubuntu livecd isn't starting up right. i'm on an xubuntu disc right now | 07:42 |
| nimbiotics | ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip | 07:43 |
| MrAnthrope | pksadiq gnome-splashscreen-manager is already the newest version. | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: have it unmaximized and stretch the app | 07:43 |
| Gurav | how can i see my linux files on windows partition ? in the same system | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: if its not ext2 or ext3 you can't | 07:43 |
| pksadiq | MrAnthrope: in terminal type sudo gnome-splashscreen-manager | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: if the linux partition is ext2 or ext3 then you can use www.fs-driver.org | 07:44 |
| JenniferB2 | ActionParsnip: not working :( | 07:44 |
| MrAnthrope | Oh yeah, this guy. | 07:44 |
| MrAnthrope | Doesn't work. | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: default in lucid and maverick is ext4 which isn't accessible | 07:44 |
| tirtavium | hhaha | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !dualhead | JenniferB2 | 07:45 |
| ubottu | JenniferB2: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 07:45 |
| MrAnthrope | Pie time. | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: this is entirely microsofts fault, the layouts for the filesystem is freely available to them yet its not in their OS. Uite funnily proprietary NTFS is fully readable and writable by linux despite the definitions been hidden | 07:46 |
| Gurav | thanks actionparsnip but i too feel linux is much far better then windows . in certain aspects | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: true and vice versa :) | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: the guys in ##windows may know something | 07:48 |
| pksadiq | Gurav: try http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ | 07:48 |
| chipmink | furi look at file sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.fonf | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | pksadiq: ext2/3 from what I'm reading there | 07:49 |
| chipmink | that will open xconfigure file in an editor | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | chipmink: gksudo for gedit. Sudo is not tobe used for gui apps | 07:50 |
| chipmink | oh | 07:50 |
| chipmink | works ok though | 07:50 |
| chipmink | what does it do? | 07:50 |
| chipmink | wrong that is | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | chipmink: running gui apps with sudo will change the ownership of .ICEauthority to root and the user will get issues | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !gksudo | chipmink | 07:51 |
| ubottu | chipmink: 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) | 07:51 |
| chipmink | thx | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | chipmink: in kde it's kdesu | 07:51 |
| chipmink | k | 07:52 |
| chipmink | i am iin gnome | 07:52 |
| Cyber_Beast | when I run "sudo apt-get update" .... terminal returns a message... Media change: please insert the disc labeled | 07:52 |
| Cyber_Beast | 'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)' | 07:52 |
| Cyber_Beast | in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter | 07:52 |
| Cyber_Beast | ... what's up with that? | 07:52 |
| FloodBot2 | Cyber_Beast: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:52 |
| Gurav | one thig more that is there any way that i can delete the files from linux and they can't be recoverd anyhow ? is this possible | 07:52 |
| APERSON | Cyber_Beast, you have the cd enabled in your software sources | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Beast: open software centre and untick the CD as a repo. Also please don't flood like that | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Beast: or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment the top line out by adding a hash symbol to the start of the line | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Beast: both do the same thing | 07:54 |
| pksadiq | ActionParsnip: did you mean about ext4 partition? | 07:54 |
| Cyber_Beast | ActionParsnip: I coudn't understand what to comment at the top of sources.list | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pksadiq: both fs-driver and the link you gave only provide access to ext2 and ext3. Lucid and maverick use ext4 by default | 07:55 |
| pksadiq | ActionParsnip: what about http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ | 07:55 |
| furi | chipmink, all it has is two input devices, being "generic keyboard" and "configured mouse" | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Beast: to comment, add a hash character: # ,to the line listing the cd as a repo, save the new file then run: sudo apt-get update ,and it should be smooth | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pksadiq: worth a try | 07:57 |
| chipmink | no monitor or screen declared | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyber_Beast: at it to the left of the line, the package system will ignore it and if needed you can re-add it | 07:58 |
| Gurav | one thig more that is there any way that i can delete the files from linux and they can't be recoverd anyhow ? is this possible | 07:58 |
| JenniferB2 | my meny has disappeared .. how can I restart it ? | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: you could use dd to output zeros to a partition or disk | 07:59 |
| furi | is there anyway to fix this boot problem i've been dealing with for the past week? when i try to boot, it just ends up stopping, with the last two lines being " * Setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". last time i used my comp, i installed an update, along with devilspie, and added a configuration file for gnome-terminal called DesktopTerminal. i purged devilspie, but that didn't fix anything. the original intention was to h | 07:59 |
| furi | ave a desktop terminal, but all i want now is for my computer to boot correctly, and nobody has managed to successfully help me fix this problem to date. | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !resetpanel | JenniferB2 | 07:59 |
| ubottu | JenniferB2: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 07:59 |
| JenniferB2 | defaults ? | 08:00 |
| JenniferB2 | i just want it back | 08:00 |
| JenniferB2 | it is not there | 08:00 |
| icarus-c | JenniferB2, run gnome-panel | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: if you right click the panel you can add what you wish | 08:00 |
| JenniferB2 | Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. | 08:01 |
| JenniferB2 | quit ? | 08:01 |
| furi | sudo killall gnome-panel | 08:01 |
| furi | gnome-panel | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | JenniferB2: press alt+f2 and run: killall gnome-panel ,then wait ;) | 08:01 |
| furi | or what ActionParsnip said | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | furi: it will restrat on its own :) | 08:01 |
| furi | ActionParsnip, yeah, kinda forgot | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | furi: got your back bro | 08:02 |
| icarus-c | or gnome-panel --replace | 08:02 |
| BlackCoffee | anyone here using linux mint?huh? | 08:04 |
| sosaited | That reminds me, my panel has been acting weird as well. After every restart, the Network Manager applet either goes to the left to my custom launchers, or extreme right. And when I open Multiget, its panel icon is never on the right where it should, it is on the left side. Is this some config problem or a bug? | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackCoffee: mint is offtopic here | 08:04 |
| BlackCoffee | yeah,i figured | 08:04 |
| BlackCoffee | but there's gotta be a couple of outsiders lurking around | 08:04 |

| ActionParsnip | !sound | shomon | 08:19 |
| ubottu | shomon: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 08:19 |

| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: windows 7 doesnt have any problem | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: try setting bios to failsafe defaults. I'd log a bug | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: windows is a different OS with different support | 08:22 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: ok :) thanks im going to install amd64 instead of pae would it work? | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: are there posts with users with the same asus thing having the same issue? | 08:24 |
| Gurav | Its only files dear like some spreedsheet and some documents or to the most the folder one | 08:24 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: i didnt find any | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: its a different kernel so worth a try I guess, it's free :) | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: installing the 64bit will require a free install, the pae will not | 08:25 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: yes, most of the users having the same thing would just use the amd64 | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: *fresh not free | 08:26 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: yes im going to try, i do depend on ubuntu for alot of work so i guess its worth a try | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: i'd also test ram. If it only works after being off a while it may be heat related | 08:27 |

| icarus-c | room, http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Threads.html#GStaticMutex | 08:28 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: i should too. someone said that bios is not powering certain devices due to powersave so when detecting those the kernel might hang | 08:28 |
| icarus-c | room, learn to google by the way | 08:28 |
| room | icarus-c: thank you | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: could disable acpi to see if it helps | 08:29 |
| chipmink | aside from delete gurav or erasing the files copy an different file onto that filename | 08:30 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: ok, testing should be scheduled i guess, since this only happens once a day when i boot the laptop for the first time plus i can bypass this hang if i stay on the grub menu for a long time like 10-12 seconds | 08:31 |
| chipmink | dont know if that will show in ext 3 logs though | 08:31 |
| Gurav | then chipmink any other alternative way to hide such stuffs | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: that lot should keep you busy for an hour or so ;) | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: you can put a period at the start of file and folder names to hide them | 08:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Callum__: is there a bug logged for it? | 08:33 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: btw have you ever heard of a similar problem? | 08:33 |
| Callum__ | ActionParsnip: no idea | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: np man | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | madurax86: not really no, sorry | 08:33 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: ok :) | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Callum__: worth checking the bugs first, it may be a known issue | 08:34 |
| Callum__ | okay | 08:34 |
| Gurav | actionparsnip can u tell me any illustration of guide to do so as i didnt understand your saying and chipmink i tried encrypted but that all are recoverable i need something unrecoverable after removing or deletion | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Callum__: there also may be a ppa with a later version which may help | 08:35 |
| Callum__ | okay | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | Callum__ | 08:35 |
| ubottu | Callum__: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: for example, to wipe /dev/sdd. Use: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd | 08:36 |
| Callum__ | it doesn't even try to connect, I press "reconnect" and a split second later it dies with that error | 08:36 |
| DASPRiD | or use shred /dev/sdd | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Gurav: and it will write the entire disk with 0s | 08:36 |
| pretender2010 | has anyone sucessfully installed convirt on ubuntu 10.04 or know of a good kvm gui front end web based gui | 08:36 |

| kazagistar | ok, someone explain to me why firefox is horrible | 08:45 |
| xuekan | !firefox | 08:46 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 | 08:46 |
| sosaited | kazagistar: Can you explain first why do you think firefox is horrible? | 08:46 |
| kazagistar | I need to load a page twice for it to load | 08:46 |
| madurax86 | ActionParsnip: i've updated it to version 210 but now 210 is not there at asus site, they now have only 209 | 08:46 |
| kazagistar | it is now, it never happened before | 08:46 |

| ActionParsnip | madurax86: could try the 209, backup the current one though | 08:46 |
| odb|fidel_ | kazagistar: try deleting your cache - could help solving the firefox issue | 08:47 |
| madurax86 | may be they found that 210 is faulty | 08:47 |
| sosaited | ActionParsnip: I have 62 tabs open up right now, and memory usage is ~200MB. In Chromium it gets to that with 15 tabs. | 08:47 |
| madurax86 | i'll try brb | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kazagistar: the browser is one process so a bad tab will kill the browser, chromium uses a process for each tab so you can kill tabs if they get stuck | 08:47 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: As far as I know, that is the normal behaviour/default view | 08:48 |
| xuekan | !ActionParsnip | 08:48 |

| kazagistar | yeah, I misspoke my question, I did not mean a troll, I have an actual problem | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sosaited: also we use chromium in. Lubuntu because it doesntchew ram | 08:50 |
| sosaited | kazagistar: Try adding Google SSL search addon to see if that is any better. Or backup your profile, and reinstall | 08:50 |

| jg_1979 | sosaited: sorry what do you mean with default view ? i change the view of columns . and after re-open gnome-system-monitor i can not see these columns :( this is not normal. i had not the same problem with other versions on ubuntu :( | 08:50 |
| kazagistar | sosaited: i'll try backup and reinstall, but it is also a problem with any link I click on | 08:50 |
| bazhang | palint240, support here; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | kazagistar: should have a backup anyway, if your data is important | 08:51 |

| sosaited | ActionParsnip: I personally have had no problems related to memory at least with Ff3+. And I have usually a crap load of site opened all the time | 08:52 |
| rautamiekka | What solution should I use to allow multiple people to remotely login to an Ubuntu machine and use its programs, like in Window$ 7 via Remote Desktop after telling the OS to permit that ? | 08:52 |
| rautamiekka | replicasex: Have you tried using 7-Zip or WinRAR on one of the packs to see if it's supported ? | 08:53 |
| pretender2010 | can anyone recommend a front end or web gui for kvm | 08:53 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: Do you always run it via terminal?. Did you tried running from the System > Administration > System Monitor if that saves it?. And btw when you exit it (when run from terminal), do you get some further text/warning? | 08:54 |
| replicasex | rautamiekka, winrar? Really? the default archive package manager seems to do fine I just want to do it all en masse | 08:54 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: no i always run from menus. but i just try to open it from terminal because i may see the erorrs from outputs ... | 08:55 |
| bank0 | pretender2010, !kvm | 08:55 |
| bank0 | there is a URL in that link that mentions one, pretender2010 | 08:55 |
| rautamiekka | replicasex: Well, any decompressor. Just used these two as likely ones supporting it. | 08:55 |
| pretender2010 | where's the link | 08:55 |
| bank0 | !kvm | 08:55 |
| ubottu | kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 08:55 |

| rocket16 | When I try to install 'Word of the day' applet for GNOME, I get a command "CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gnomewotdapplet' cvs co gnomewotdapplet " from http://gnomewotdapplet.sourceforge.net/releases.php . To install it, do we need to type the command in terminal? | 08:56 |
| rocket16 | When I type it, it returns an error, that connection is refused. | 08:57 |
| rocket16 | So, where can I find a similar applet? | 08:57 |
| rautamiekka | rocket16: I think you need CVS Client first. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=390190 | 09:00 |

| bank0 | rautamiekka, i was hoping someone would answer your question.. im interested too | 09:01 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: The only other solution I can think of that might work for you is to "Remove Completely" gnome-system-monitor from synaptic, and then install it again. | 09:02 |
| rocket16 | rautamiekka: I already have it installed. But thanks. | 09:02 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: is it dangerous to do that ? im think in g to re-install it ? | 09:03 |
| dfcnvt | nobody is responding in either #nvidia & #xorg .. I was wondering if any of you here may know what to do with xorg.conf right away... Here's the file. http://pastebin.com/vsX36qMk | 09:03 |
| dfcnvt | fyi, EDID is not support, only CRT monitor | 09:04 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: Oh no wait wait | 09:04 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: I just checked, it removes "ubuntu-desktop" with it. Which is a complete disaster. | 09:04 |
| rautamiekka | rocket16: I mean like a GUI version for easier/faster use. | 09:04 |
| rautamiekka | What solution should I use to allow multiple people to remotely login to an Ubuntu machine and use its programs, like in Window$ 7 via Remote Desktop after telling the OS to permit that ? | 09:05 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: At least if you restart your computer after that, before installing it back first. | 09:05 |
| dfcnvt | can you tell me what is wrong with this config? otherwise i'd be appreciated if this file is edited manually. | 09:05 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: but | 09:05 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: when you re-imnstall it doen not removes... | 09:05 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: so a reinstall is better, rather than complete removal (which removes the config filkes | 09:05 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: ah so yes. if it is not removes the config files i will tryit... | 09:06 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: Reinstall is, uninstall, and then install again. Won't affect ubuntu-desktop | 09:06 |
| MrsB | rautamiekka: x11 forwarding or vnc are probably easiest but if its across the internet it will be slow for either of them. You could use simple ssh if theyre happy with cli | 09:07 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: i just need to ask something else. i use gnome. but i don't use the panels. so i can not use also features like alt+f2 . is there any point for me to use gnome ? | 09:07 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: For future reference, never uninstall anything that says it HAS to remove ""ubuntu-desktop" too. OR if you do want to take the risk, don't restart your computer BEFORe you install "ubuntu-desktop" back again. I once did it, and I couldn't boot into my system. Had to recover by shrooting | 09:08 |
| rautamiekka | MrsB: It must be similar to Remote Desktop. It will be used across Net but that's not problem. | 09:08 |
| Guest49093 | MrsB, have you tried teamviewer | 09:08 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: im not going to try to re-install system monitor... | 09:09 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: gnome is not JUST about the panels and shortcuts. A lot other programs are dependent/made for gnome. | 09:09 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: so it is better for me to use fluxbox ... | 09:09 |
| MrsB | rautamiekka: if some of them are going to be windows or mac users then its probably best to stick with vnc, if theyre linux users then x11forwarding or vnc. There is a better one called nx (freenx) but I have never used it so can't report how much better/more difficult it is. | 09:10 |
| MrsB | Guest49093: nope, what is it? | 09:10 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: No don't be that cautious. Reinstall will be fine. I did it first on my system just now to confirm | 09:10 |
| rautamiekka | MrsB: Think most users, like me, would be Win users. I'll see about the NX. Ty, will report back later. | 09:11 |
| Guest49093 | MrsB, works like vnc??? google it | 09:11 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: no i will not try it. im waiting for rematsreys to backup my system. after that i can try to re-istall. | 09:11 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: remastersys new version... | 09:11 |
| sosaited | jg_1979: Fluxbox is just a Window Manager. Gnome is a desktop environment | 09:12 |
| jg_1979 | sosaited: anyway i did not had understand the differences desktop manager and window manager yet | 09:12 |
| MrsB | rautamiekka: you could also use virtual machines, using virtualbox you can enable vrdp whch uses the rdp protocol underneath the os. Its an option. | 09:12 |
| rautamiekka | MrsB: How would that differ from using NX for multi-user concurrent sessions ? | 09:13 |
| rautamiekka | And are you talking about installing Win or Linux into VirtualBox ? | 09:14 |
| === APERSON is now known as aperson | ||
| MrsB | rautamiekka: it would probably use more resources on the host. The vrdp is part of virtualbox so you can install any OS on top of it. You can manage the VM's remotely, starting, stopping etc | 09:15 |
| MrsB | rautamiekka: Im not sure how secure it would be to open it to the internet is the only thing, I would think you could set a login tho. I'll let you research it ;) | 09:16 |

| Guest49093 | i have an ubuntu server that can only receive certain data based on its static, public IP.. i need to use multiple (like two) ISPs to provide internet and i want that single PUBLIC IP to prevail, not change is it possible | 09:24 |
| rautamiekka | Rizzo_: Make a list of them and ask in the order you have them in the list. | 09:24 |
| rautamiekka | Rizzo_: No joke, that helps you keep your mind together if you really have much to ask. | 09:25 |

| aytekin | any idea? | 09:26 |
| chid | hi, with 10.10 does there exist a list of programs that integrate into the Mail icon, eg. empathy, pidgin, lifrea | 09:26 |
| Madpilot | aLeSD, installing off a CD or some other way? | 09:27 |
| Guest49093 | i have an ubuntu server that can only receive certain data based on its static, public IP.. i need to use multiple (like two) ISPs to provide internet and i want that single PUBLIC IP to prevail, not change is it possible | 09:27 |
| Guest49093 | any idea | 09:27 |
| Jordan_U | Guest49093: No, specifically what you have asked for is not likely possible using different ISPs. Why can't you use dynamic DNS rather than a static ip? Why do you have two ISPs? | 09:27 |
| aytekin | how can i detect whether mysql is installed on ubuntu | 09:28 |
| chid | aytekin: do you mean mysql or mysqld? | 09:28 |
| aytekin | mysql | 09:28 |
| aLeSD | Madpilot: do you know if with an usb hard-disk it works ? | 09:28 |
| chid | you could try locate mysql | 09:28 |
| Guest49093 | Jordan_U, for backup cos it has to be up and running at all times | 09:28 |
| chid | which is probably the silly way | 09:28 |
| rOOkie | hi | 09:29 |
| chid | can't you check your ubuntu software center? | 09:29 |
| Madpilot | aLeSD, it should, I haven't ever installed via USB key myself though. | 09:29 |
| Guest49093 | Jordan_U, sometime the internet around here are pretty slow | 09:29 |
| aLeSD | Madpilot the problem is that I haven't external cd on my netbook | 09:30 |
| aytekin | is there any kind of command line to detect if mysql is installed or not | 09:30 |
| aLeSD | Madpilot: is there anbother ways to install it by usb key ? | 09:30 |
| chid | aytekin: can't you just type mysql in the terminal? | 09:30 |

| dagon666 | Im trying to install apache via apt-get on a machine which doesnt have internet access. Is it possible to create only a list of dependencies for this package on this machine and use this list on other machine which has internet access to download all dependencies automatically ? | 09:34 |
| chid | dagon666: I believe it is, you can use apt-get download on the other machine | 09:34 |
| chid | oh, wait the machine without internet access doesn't have a list of dependencies does it? | 09:35 |
| mauro125 | how long does it usually take to install 10.10, there | 09:35 |
| mauro125 | theres no status bar | 09:35 |
| dagon666 | chid: how should I prepare the package list in the first place ? | 09:35 |
| chid | mauro125: when I installed it, it took forever, mainly because I was repartitioning my drive (and it took ~7min to get the parition table of my disk) | 09:36 |
| chid | dagon666: I'm not sure, I've never done it before | 09:36 |
| mauro125 | I gave 5gig to swap, and the rest for / | 09:36 |
| dagon666 | chid: :D | 09:36 |
| mauro125 | and clicked on allow to download updates and all that | 09:37 |
| chid | oh | 09:37 |
| chid | that took forever too | 09:37 |
| mauro125 | haha | 09:37 |

| chid | but the server it chose, the default, us.archives.ubuntu.com | 09:38 |

| mauro125 | i see | 09:38 |
| chid | au.archive.ubuntu.com < was super fast | 09:38 |
| chid | yeah, mauro125 it gave me like a 3hr estimated time to finish installing :O | 09:38 |
| mauro125 | there was no option to select server or did i somehow missed it | 09:39 |

| yao_ziyuan | does ubuntu still have fglrx? | 09:40 |

| SmokeyD | hey everyone, the compiz config settings manager shows 9 available mouse buttons I can select for the mouse actions for the different effects. But how do I know which button is which? | 09:48 |
| chid | DjAngo23: I'm not sure if there's a simple way (off the top of my head) to remove the encryption, but the 'obvious' way is to make a backup and repartition the home drive | 09:48 |
| chid | actually, that assumes that your home drive is a different partition | 09:49 |
| chid | sorry, I've never partition encryption on linux, but you'll probably need to somehow find out how your encryption is configured | 09:49 |
| chid | oh Linuxsapien, the tutorial uses notify-send | 09:50 |

| ExtremeDevilz | using Ubuntu Netbook love the new desktop design is it available for desktop ? | 10:35 |

| no--name | How do I run 32-bit version of Firefox or Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit? | 10:35 |
| uni4dfx | no--name why would you do that | 10:35 |
| jrib | uni4dfx: it tells you how to build the kernel, presumably warning you if you need to do any extra steps to apply patches | 10:35 |
| DASPRiD | ./firefox | 10:35 |

| ExtremeDevilz | using Ubuntu Netbook love the new desktop design is it available for desktop ? | 10:35 |
| no--name | uni4dfx: so I can use 32-bit flash | 10:36 |
| chid | ExtremeDevilz: you can just install the netbook edition on desktop | 10:36 |
| uni4dfx | no--name that's silly, install the 64bit flash instead | 10:36 |
| no--name | ExtremeDevilz: how do I open it? | 10:36 |
| no--name | uni4dfx: but it sucks though :P | 10:36 |
| sipior | Krishnandu: you would make a launcher icon that starts the terminal as "gnome-terminal -e <your program name>", for example. | 10:36 |
| uni4dfx | no--name not really | 10:36 |

| no--name | uni4dfx: thanks | 10:39 |
| chid | getch() ? | 10:39 |
| chid | getcharachter you mean | 10:39 |
| kazagistar | Krishnandu: I believe it is getchar() | 10:39 |
| sipior | Krishnandu: you'll need to include curses.h for getch. | 10:39 |
| ExtremeDevilz | Question : Netbook : Asus Netbook 1001PX unable to use function key thus cant access my volume key etc :( | 10:39 |
| Krishnandu | chid, I need to hold the terminal...it shows helloworld and goes away....how can I stop it on screen | 10:39 |
| ExtremeDevilz | this is urgent | 10:39 |
| chid | one sec | 10:40 |
| Krishnandu | sipior, If linux itself can solve my purpose I don't need that | 10:40 |
| kazagistar | Krishnandu: if you put getchar() at the end of your program you can have it wait for a input before exiting | 10:40 |
| Krishnandu | kazagistar, Hmm | 10:40 |
| ectospasm | Krishnandu: try running it from an actual terminal window | 10:40 |
| sipior | Krishnandu: try "man gets", and take your pick. | 10:40 |

| llutz_ | Krishnandu: use "xterm -hold -e yourcmd" | 10:41 |
| Krishnandu | sipior, Okies | 10:41 |
| Krishnandu | llutz_, I don't use xterm | 10:41 |
| chid | sorry can't figure it out at the moment | 10:41 |
| chid | I can't understand why it closes | 10:41 |
| Krishnandu | ectospasm, No I need to run it from GUI, actually the project I'll give to users they won't be using command line for me...so I need to make it for them | 10:42 |
| chid | Krishnandu: are you looking for something like, echo "hello world" pause | 10:42 |
| chid | on windows | 10:42 |
| ectospasm | Krishnandu: for troubleshooting though, run it from the terminal so you can see standard output | 10:42 |
| chid | where they type any key and it closes? | 10:42 |
| kazagistar | (that is exactly what getchar() does?) | 10:43 |
| ectospasm | Krishnandu: sounds like you need it to block waiting for input | 10:43 |
| chid | ok, so if you want that, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-pause-command.html | 10:43 |
| chid | so you can create a shell script with ./a.out; read -p "presss any key" | 10:44 |
| Krishnandu | ectospasm, Ya that did the job :) | 10:44 |
| zezelle | bonjour | 10:44 |
| Krishnandu | chid, actually I've C program, and I'd only give the client a.out file not the source code | 10:44 |
| chid | Ok, so are you looking for C help or bash help? | 10:45 |
| Krishnandu | chid, bash help actually :P | 10:45 |
| kazagistar | Krishnandu: you might wanna rename it :P | 10:45 |
| chid | ok | 10:45 |
| chid | for a second there I thought you were coding for windows | 10:45 |
| Krishnandu | kazagistar, of course I'd do that | 10:45 |
| netbr4in | get the ubuntu book for free | 10:45 |
| Stavros | how can i get my macbook right-click to work on 10.10? | 10:45 |
| netbr4in | in the website | 10:45 |
| Krishnandu | chid, lol no...I dumped it 6moths ago | 10:45 |
| ewook | Stavros: lol, you're running ubuntu on a macbook? | 10:46 |
| chid | So you want to create a bash script that runs your program displays the output and closes when they press something | 10:46 |
| Stavros | ewook: yes | 10:46 |
| Krishnandu | chid, Absolutely correct :) | 10:46 |
| chid | oh, I just (re)started using ubuntu a few days ago actually :D | 10:46 |
| ewook | Stavros: nice. but, with only that pad, I wouldn't think you could do right-clicks. I'm prolly in error of course. | 10:47 |
| Stavros | ewook: it worked fine before the upgrade | 10:47 |
| ectospasm | Stavros: does xev react when you right-click? | 10:47 |
| Stavros | ectospasm: what's xev? | 10:47 |
| Stavros | ectospasm: i have the synaptics config file, it's just not getting read | 10:48 |
| ectospasm | Stavros: X Event Viewer | 10:48 |
| ectospasm | Stavros: you can see whether X Windows is even registering the right-click events, which may guide you where to direct your troubleshooting | 10:48 |
| Krishnandu | chid, Well...Not ubuntu specific, user may run it on any distro | 10:48 |
| chid | yeah, I can't figure out the parameters of gnome-terminal | 10:49 |
| Stavros | ectospasm: it does react, but i'm not sure if it's reacting to the left-click | 10:49 |
| Stavros | ectospasm: the way i right-click is put two fingers on the touchpad and click the button | 10:49 |
| Stavros | so i'm not sure what button code 33 is | 10:49 |
| chid | hehe, Krishnandu | 10:49 |
| Krishnandu | chid, :) | 10:49 |
| chid | you can use xterm -e "./a.out |less" | 10:49 |

| chid | markodoom: that's strange, because it would seem like your drivers are working if they can detect the network and *attempt* to connect | 11:00 |
| ppdog | You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses. | 11:00 |

| Krishnandu | Hey guys this is not directly related ubuntu, but what are my scopes in GUI programming?? I mean in Windows we use Visual Studio(VB / C#), what should I learn in Linux?? | 11:36 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, gtk+ , qt, wxwidget.... etc | 11:38 |
| nikkon | Krishnandu, in world of open source | 11:38 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, and for the language, C, C++, python, ruby, perl, java ..... many | 11:39 |
| nikkon | only in BSD port colleciton of application is more than 25 000 | 11:39 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, gtk+ for GNOME, qt for KDE right?? | 11:39 |
| nikkon | just imagine that u cant modify src of all those stuff and play with it | 11:39 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, not exactly. but GNOME uses gtk+, and KDE uses Qt | 11:39 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, but doesn't mean that you can't build/use Qt apps on GNOME or Gtk+ apps on KDE | 11:40 |
| Krishnandu | okies...looks like thrilling...so what should I choose?? Anyone of them?? | 11:40 |
| Krishnandu | I'd like to use C | 11:40 |
| Krishnandu | which is better for n00b?? qt ot gtk+?? | 11:40 |
| Dracco | Hello folks. I have a question. I set up samba server on xubuntu and added a printer to share. Sadly, I have to type "sudo service smbd restart" each time I log in. Can I automate it somehow? If it was for me I wouldn't see a problem, but this is pc in a company I work for and they don't really like non-automated stuff. | 11:41 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, Gtk+ is written in C | 11:41 |
| kazagistar | Krishnandu: Qt, it is far better documented and object oriented | 11:41 |
| greemor | \join#1111 | 11:41 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, Qt written in C++ and it doesn't officially support C | 11:41 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, hmm....can't decide which one to use | 11:42 |
| icarus-c | gtk+ is object oriented too :( | 11:42 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, coin flips | 11:42 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, or think about the license | 11:42 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, No idea about license...I'm starting this 1st time....u suggest :P | 11:43 |
| Krishnandu | I'm comfortable in both C, C++ and Java...but don't know ruby, perl, but I learnt Python from online documentation | 11:43 |
| icarus-c | LGPL for gtk+ , Qt dual licensed - commercial & LGPL for open source | 11:43 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, that means if you want to use Qt to write closed source software, you have to buy a license from nokia | 11:44 |
| icarus-c | and i've heard it is expensive | 11:44 |
| icarus-c | correct me if i'm wrong | 11:44 |
| Krishnandu | you mean if I don't provide the source code if I use qt, i need to buy the license?? | 11:44 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, iirc yes | 11:45 |

| bursihido | i also tried recomplie vmware modules | 11:45 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, ok, so which is easier?? qt or gtk+?? Or wxwidgets?? | 11:45 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, http://qt.nokia.com/products/licensing/ | 11:45 |
| magentar | you can use the lgpl version for commercial products too | 11:46 |
| Krishnandu | hmm | 11:46 |
| magentar | they changed from gpl to lgpl when nokia overtook trolltech | 11:46 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, i'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that. and i haven't use wxwidget at all. but from my experience, both are good. but if you do C, gtk+ is probably the best option | 11:46 |
| Its-me-again | i am debating to install mint 10 or ubuntu maveric | 11:46 |
| magentar | commercial version is only for support | 11:46 |
| Fuh-zz | the only reason I knew of to install mint was the nonfree candy | 11:47 |
| Fuh-zz | you have the option to do so in Ubuntu 10.10 now | 11:47 |
| icarus-c | Its-me-again, simple, you ask here you install ubuntu, you ask in #linuxmint, you install mint | 11:47 |
| Krishnandu | ok.....so the thing I should look at docs and support?? qt or gtk+?? Which has better docs to learn for a complete n00b knowing C, C++, Java etc. and irc and other support if I stuck?? | 11:47 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, magentar ^^ | 11:48 |
| icarus-c | between, i think i've heard that mint is going debian instead | 11:48 |
| magentar | QT works better for crossplatform apps and has a richer feature set | 11:48 |
| magentar | gtk+ is more straight forward perhaps, simpler, fits best in GNOME | 11:48 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, both are equally fine in my opinion. but some say Qt is better documented, and sweeter for cross-platform dev | 11:48 |
| Krishnandu | okz...then let's start with qt... | 11:49 |
| theholder | Does anyone have any idea why Ubuntu 10.04 freezes on a Compaq Evo N1015V | 11:49 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, but as i say.... they are almost equally good | 11:49 |
| chid | any programs, theholder or is it just freezing? | 11:49 |
| ectospasm | theholder: could be a memory problem | 11:49 |
| theholder | it freezes to a blank screen with a flashing caps lock key | 11:50 |
| ectospasm | theholder: definitely a memory or memory controller problem. Try memtest86+ or mprime | 11:50 |
| bombshell | Maximum number of clients reached | 11:50 |
| chid | oh, I have a question about suspend and hibernate, are there any simple fixes/ways to troubleshoot the issue, it doesn't return back to the desktop on hibernate and suspend, just a black screen | 11:50 |
| bombshell | (chromium-browser:10549): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 11:50 |
| theholder | Thankis chid | 11:51 |
| bombshell | I'm having this issue when I try to open any app | 11:51 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, oh betwee. Qt convention is more like Java, and Gtk+ is more unix-style | 11:51 |
| Its-me-again | icarus-c: ok mint it is then | 11:51 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, Means?? | 11:51 |
| icarus-c | Krishnandu, i mean coding style/convention. if it matters | 11:51 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, Ohh... | 11:51 |
| theholder | chid: where do i run these from bash? | 11:51 |
| chid | what are you running? | 11:51 |
| bombshell | I have know idea for it reach maximum clients | 11:52 |
| chid | I was listing another problem | 11:52 |
| chid | that I haven't solved | 11:52 |
| theholder | ? | 11:52 |
| ectospasm | theholder: memtest86+ is a boot utility that tests RAM. You'll find it on the LiveCD | 11:52 |
| theholder | ok | 11:53 |
| theholder | thanks | 11:53 |
| ectospasm | theholder: mprime is a utility which you can use to stress test your system | 11:53 |
| ectospasm | theholder: http://www.mersenne.org/ | 11:53 |
| ectospasm | theholder: use that if memtest doesn't return any errors | 11:53 |
| ectospasm | theholder: be sure you let memtest run for at least one full pass; all errors will be listed in red, and shouldn't clear after a full pass is completed | 11:54 |
| ectospasm | ...although if you get enough errors it will scroll off the screen, theholder | 11:54 |
| chid | ectospasm: anything about hibernation/suspend resuming? | 11:54 |
| ectospasm | chid: sorry, I usually don't use those features. | 11:55 |
| chid | alright | 11:55 |
| ectospasm | chid: I've always heard those features are problematic, though they've gotten much better | 11:55 |
| chid | it wasn't problematic for me in the past | 11:55 |
| chid | but with 10.10 it broke | 11:55 |
| ectospasm | chid: it's my understanding that the underlying system must be well represented by Linux drivers | 11:55 |
| icarus-c | chid, what about them | 11:55 |
| chid | icarus-c: well I get a black screen when I resume | 11:56 |
| icarus-c | chid, what video driver | 11:56 |
| chid | icarus-c: how do I find out | 11:56 |
| theholder | Thanks for all your help chid and ectospasm | 11:57 |
| ubuntu | Hi guys | 11:57 |
| ubuntu | how to reload grub? | 11:57 |
| chid | you mean reinstall? | 11:57 |
| chid | Do you know if you're running grub or grub2? | 11:57 |
| ectospasm | ubuntu: you mean after you've made changes to the config? update-grub | 11:57 |
| icarus-c | chid, /var/log/Xorg.*.log should give you some clue | 11:57 |
| chid | http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2Fcommunity%2FRecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows&rct=j&q=windows%20reinstall%20ubuntu&ei=O8PjTJeWPM7IcZHY4fQL&usg=AFQjCNHW_iMjuSRvjNQIsiNTcFcjic1m5Q&sig2=7sRs0OTOIbpjo-1QBPsmWw&cad=rja | 11:57 |

| ubuntu | no i have installed XP | 11:58 |
| gccster | guys is it possible to create an installation image of my current installation so i can install again to other pcs? | 11:58 |
| chid | gccster: | 11:58 |
| chid | yes | 11:58 |
| gccster | how? | 11:58 |
| icarus-c | ubuntu, and WIndows overwritten the boot loader. and you want to install grub over it again right | 11:58 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, Can I design the interface like I do in VS in both qt and gtk+?? | 11:58 |
| chid | system-> administrator -> startupdiskcreator | 11:59 |

| hariom | Hi, I see that what ever I type on my ubuntu system is getting logged in .bash_history | 11:59 |
| hariom | how to stop that | 11:59 |
| chid | change a setting in .bashrc | 12:00 |
| Krishnandu | icarus-c, Okies...thanks...I'll check them both | 12:00 |
| icarus-c | ubuntu, <chid> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 12:00 |
| chid | I forget what it is | 12:00 |
| hariom | Even if I write an email it gets logged in .bash_history | 12:00 |
| chid | you can just set the size to 0 | 12:01 |
| chid | don't know what the param is, maybe MAX_SIZE or something | 12:01 |
| gccster | chid, theres no such option | 12:01 |
| Bruce_Wayne | While installing "BURG" i'm getting this screen... http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2328/screenshotr.jpg what should I do? | 12:01 |
| chid | why do you send emails from bash | 12:01 |
| sraue | hariom add a "space" before the first command you write | 12:01 |
| chid | export HISTSIZE=0 | 12:02 |
| chid | add that to your .bashrc | 12:02 |
| hariom | sraue: I didn't get what you mean | 12:02 |
| chid | uh icarus-c , I'm using [ 15.519] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, | 12:02 |
| bazhang | Bruce_Wayne, using burg from where? repos? | 12:03 |
| c0nv1ct | hariom, http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/SECURITY_Bash_History_Functions | 12:03 |
| chid | it's not an option | 12:03 |
| chid | it's a program | 12:03 |
| c0nv1ct | hariom, that may be of use to you, but sraue is correct, you can prepend a space to your command and it will skip the shell history | 12:03 |
| chid | c0nv1ct: I think he wants to disable all of them | 12:03 |
| chid | so histsize is the easiest way | 12:03 |
| Bruce_Wayne | bazhang: Yes, from repos. | 12:04 |
| icarus-c | hariom, you may export HISTFILE=0 or HISTFILE=/dev/null in bashrc . see man bash | 12:04 |
| bazhang | Bruce_Wayne, there is no 'burg' in the repos | 12:04 |
| Bruce_Wayne | I added ppa | 12:04 |
| chid | gccster: It's in System->Administration->StartUp Disk Creator | 12:04 |
| chid | maybe you have to find it in the repos and instlal it first | 12:04 |
| bazhang | Bruce_Wayne, perhaps you mean an unsupported 3rd party PPA | 12:04 |
| bazhang | Bruce_Wayne, in which case, you should contact the PPA maintainer as that has nothing to do with Ubuntu | 12:05 |
| hariom | icarus-c, chid, c0nv1ct: ok. Looking at that. But isn't it possible that commands I type on command line only gets logged. Not the other text I write in text files etc. | 12:05 |
| Bruce_Wayne | bazhang: I tried to follow this... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/get-animated-themed-icon-only-grub-menu-using-burg-now-simple-to-use/ | 12:05 |
| icarus-c | hariom, don't know what you are saying. but by default bash log last 500 lines you entered to bash prompt to ~/.bash_history | 12:06 |

| chid | what the heck | 12:08 |
| chid | how do you make it do that | 12:08 |
| chid | are you sending emails in terminal? | 12:08 |
| icarus-c | hariom, how you invoke the mail agent or messenger? | 12:08 |
| chid | echo "message" | sendmail myfriend@email ? | 12:08 |
| chid | I'd say D: | 12:08 |
| lapion | hariom, why do you think bash logs those ? | 12:09 |
| hariom | chid: nope. Yahoo email text I see on my command line when I press up arrow. | 12:09 |
| chid | yeah | 12:09 |
| chid | but that's not logged.. | 12:09 |
| hariom | yea logged. I can see that in cat ~/.bash_history | 12:09 |

| Bruce_Wayne | how can I know in which partition my current grub2 is installed? | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Bruce_Wayne: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' shows me what ones grub is installed on.. | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Bruce_Wayne: not sure if that shows grub2 and grub1 or just grub2 | 12:33 |
| jrib | pale: you should probably give some sort of example, I can't follow what you want | 12:33 |
| pale | Bruce_Wayne, df /boot | 12:33 |
| pale | jrib, ok, so i want to apped some text file to file user.reg | so my question is can sed be used to append text from one file to another if so please show example | 12:35 |
| Bruce_Wayne | pale: Thanks. That shows my where my ubuntu is installed.. Are you sure in the same partition grub should be installed? | 12:36 |
| cast | cat append.this.file >> to.this.file | 12:36 |

| Dr_Willis | cryptk: what video card/chipset? | 12:38 |
| cryptk | I have two screen side by side, ubuntu is using the left one as primary, I would like it to be the right one instead | 12:38 |

| Bruce_Wayne | pale: Do you know how to install "BURG"... cause I have to enter one command... at this screen.. http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2328/screenshotr.jpg | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | cryptk: For my laptop. I had to use the monitors tool in the system menu to set them up. I dont recall having to select which one was primary/secondary. | 12:40 |
| Bruce_Wayne | and I've been trying to find a solution what to enter there. | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Bruce_Wayne: theres a 'how to install burg' wiki/guides. and theres a 'burg' helper tool that can install and confifgure burg at the omgubuntu or webupd8 web site i saw last week | 12:40 |
| cryptk | yes, I was able to use that to have them not be mirrored, but it won't let me change the primary screen... it moved my panels, conky, everything to the left one, but I need it to all be on the right one | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Bruce_Wayne: the burg helper tool seemed to work very well. | 12:41 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, so I have a working side by side setup, just the wrong one is primary | 12:41 |

| cryptk | Dr_Willis, yep, and that is how I did it on my home computer, but my work laptop has dual screens now (well 3, but at work on the docking station I leave the laptop closed) | 12:43 |
| cryptk | hrm... guess I could just re-arrange my desk so i can use the left one as primary... hold one... | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | cryptk: could be the docking station is causing some default changes.. ive not used one of those. | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Bruce_Wayne: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/burg-manager-10-released-with-option-to.html | 12:45 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, it isn't that the primary screen changed, I just now added the second screen, wanted to use the right screen as the primary (because of how my desk was arranged, it made more sense) | 12:46 |

| goshawk | hi | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: could filssytem check the filesystem --> sudo fsck.xfs /dev/WHATEVERTHEDEVICEIS | 13:11 |
| goshawk | is there a ppa with a brand new 3.7 kernel with the autogrup sheduler patch applied ? | 13:11 |
| distant2 | can i install ubuntu on a new laptop which has a HDD that has never been formatted? | 13:11 |
| petan | distant2: yes | 13:12 |
| goshawk | distant2, of course | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | goshawk: i just saw a ppa search tool --> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/y-ppa-manager-easily-search-add-remove.html | 13:12 |
| ubuntu | If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem or | 13:12 |
| ubuntu | repair a damaged filesystem, see xfs_check(8) and xfs_repair(8). | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: i guess you use those commands instead of fsck.xfs | 13:12 |
| distant2 | petan, goshawk, your yes answers my 1st or 2nd question? | 13:12 |
| petan | distant2: for both | 13:12 |
| goshawk | both | 13:13 |
| distant2 | heh. ok. | 13:13 |
| goshawk | Dr_Willis, thanks it seems good | 13:13 |
| goshawk | but i'm wondering if anyone here already did it | 13:13 |
| ubuntu | this is what i gave fsck.xfs /dev/sda3 | 13:13 |
| goshawk | Dr_Willis, you know... this patch is going to fill a lot of topics all the linux world | 13:14 |
| gamerpro2000 | Hey guys, I have a bug report that I opened about a week ago. It hasn't had any activity and I've been updating it pretty much daily. Does anyone know how I can escalate it? | 13:14 |

| gamerpro2000 | webroasters, if you find out let me know. I've been trying to get someone to look at my bug report for over a week | 13:15 |

| jahbulon | <llutz> | 13:20 |
| llutz | jahbulon: read "man clive" | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: and did you use those xfs 'fix' commands that the fsck.xfs command mentioned to verify your XFS is all 'good' ? | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: has this system ever worked? | 13:21 |
| ubuntu | yeah | 13:21 |
| ubuntu | yes | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | if the xfs fix commands said ok.. try remounting the partition. | 13:21 |
| petan | ubuntu: what is your issue | 13:21 |
| ubuntu | yeah i mounted the partition | 13:22 |
| hariom | In need to disable Immediate-Configure in apt.conf but unable to find where is apt.conf? | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: so look on the partition? see if your files are in fact there? see if theres a /boot/ directory on the partition also. | 13:22 |
| hariom | Getting errors while apt-get and also a message to see Immediate-Configure. man page says to try with disabling this option | 13:22 |
| whytenoiz | hariom: find / -name "apt.conf" | 13:22 |
| llutz | hariom: configs are in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ | 13:22 |
| hariom | In which file to disapble this | 13:22 |
| ubuntu | yeah everything is fine | 13:23 |
| hariom | I don't have any apt.conf in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: so if you can now mount it.. it might boot properly. have you tried rebooting since youve done the 'fix' ? | 13:23 |
| llutz | hariom: just create a new file and add your option, if none of the existing files have the option already set | 13:23 |
| ubuntu | no | 13:23 |
| hariom | llutz: what is the format? | 13:24 |
| llutz | hariom: read "man apt.conf" | 13:25 |
| hariom | ok | 13:25 |
| ubuntu | Hi willis this is what i did http://pastebin.com/3YJFQ10N | 13:26 |
| ubuntu | do you think it will work now? | 13:26 |
| hariom | llutz: once added into apt.conf how to activate this settings? | 13:27 |
| hariom | I still get error while apt-get and it says to look for Immediate-Configure in man 5 apt.conf | 13:28 |
| hariom | In man page it says to disable it which I did by Get{Immediate-Configure "false"} | 13:28 |
| Kurdistan | hey guys I need help. this is my pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533452/ | 13:28 |

| gamerpro2000 | I wish someone would fix my bug :( | 13:29 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: tell me more mabout | 13:30 |
| Shinka | I'm using Audacious, by mistake I removed the upper menu (with File, View, et cetera) and I can't get it back ! I even tried reinstalling but to no avail. | 13:30 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/674112 | 13:30 |
| hariom | llutz: but I still get error | 13:30 |
| llutz | hariom: isn't it " APT::Immediate-Confifure "false" " | 13:30 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: There is extensive notes in there | 13:30 |
| llutz | Configure* | 13:31 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: try proprietary driver | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | Already did | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | Had more problems | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | Screens would randomly dire upon logout | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | *die | 13:31 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: seame problems? | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | Not the same | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | just more problems | 13:31 |
| FloodBot3 | gamerpro2000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:31 |
| gamerpro2000 | Had more problems with the proprietary driver than I did with the radeon driver | 13:32 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: all machines have same gc | 13:32 |
| gamerpro2000 | Correct | 13:32 |
| gamerpro2000 | I have 50 of them | 13:32 |
| gamerpro2000 | or more. I lose count. | 13:33 |
| gamerpro2000 | I didn't build them. The previous network administrator built these machines. I simply am taking over in day-to-day operations | 13:33 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: does it die after login | 13:34 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: with which driver? | 13:34 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: you said it happens with both of them | 13:34 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: I mean if it die only after you login to session | 13:34 |
| gamerpro2000 | Startup fails with the radeon driver causing the segmentation fault. | 13:34 |
| gamerpro2000 | Like, powering on and initializing the displays. However, the fglrx driver, machines would go to log out and the screen would go black. The screen would stay powered, but it wouldn't log out gracefully, forcing us to reboot the entire machine. | 13:35 |
| gamerpro2000 | Among other weird bugs, like freezing the whole machine upon logout and giving a "SOFT_LOCKUP" error | 13:36 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: you have configuration for fglrx but you load radeon | 13:36 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: What do you mean I have configuration for fglrx? | 13:36 |
| gamerpro2000 | Where are you seeing this? | 13:36 |
| petan | gamepro2000: that is proprietary driver, in xorg.conf | 13:36 |
| petan | gamepro2000: config is generated by autoconfig | 13:37 |
| petan | gamepro2000: I would purge fglrx and radeon out and make new installation of driver | 13:37 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: I load "radeon" and "glx" | 13:37 |
| hariom | llutz: I have tried this: $sudo apt-get -o APT::Get::Immediate-Configure="false" dist-upgrade | 13:37 |
| gamerpro2000 | Where are you seeing a propreitary driver being loaded? Can you give me a line? | 13:37 |
| coz_ | For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. | 13:37 |
| hariom | but I still get errors. No effect observed. | 13:38 |
| petan | gamepro2000: I see, but you have previously fglrx installed, they should not be installed both they conflict | 13:38 |
| llutz | hariom: try -o APT::Immediate-Configure="false" | 13:38 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: They are not. I used the uninstall script included with the driver package to remove it. Where are you seeing this? I need a line on the pastebin's. | 13:38 |
| bastardchild1982 | anybody know how to take off the extra stuff in the grub. i have ubuntu, and mint on here | 13:38 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: not loaded but xorg.conf was generated by ait-config | 13:38 |
| llutz | hariom: afaik "Immediate-Configure" is an own group like GET | 13:38 |
| Andria | Bonjjour | 13:39 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: Those are just identifiers. I just left them saying "aticonfig-0 whatever" | 13:39 |
| hariom | llutz: Still no effect observed and get same error | 13:39 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: They don't have any bearing on the drivers | 13:39 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: that mean you previously installed fglrx then this driver keep a lot of other binaries even if you switch it to radeon | 13:39 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, I got it! I made a small bash script, has an if statement checking the output of xrandr, if it says that the monitor is conencted then it runs xrandr --output HDMI1 --primary | 13:40 |
| llutz | hariom: no idea then, sorry | 13:40 |
| bastardchild1982 | grub help... | 13:40 |
| hariom | llutz: Actually by mistake I deleted /var/lib/dpkg directory | 13:40 |
| cryptk | put the same thing in /etc/gdm/Init/Default as well | 13:40 |
| hariom | and from then onwards getting this error. I have created dpkg/ status and updates/ | 13:40 |
| hariom | but getting same error | 13:41 |
| bastardchild1982 | i want to delete the safemode stuff in my grub | 13:41 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: I did previously have fglrx installed, but as I said I used the uninstall script included with the .deb that ATI provided to remove all traces of it. Then, to be sure, I ran sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx | 13:41 |
| cryptk | thing is, with it just in the /etc/gdm script it should stay that way, unless something changes it... but upon login it would go back wrong again... | 13:41 |
| gamerpro2000 | which didn't do anything, but I wanted to be sure nothing was left | 13:41 |

| gamerpro2000 | aim__ switch to russian | 13:41 |
| cryptk | tried putting it in a ~/.xprofile, and it would run the code (I checked by having it touch a file) but something would set it back wrong again afterwards | 13:41 |

| oshin | /dev/sda1 * 1 6079 48827392 83 Linux | 13:42 |
| c0nv1ct | bastardchild1982, i said where, /etc/default/grub | 13:42 |
| oshin | /dev/sda2 6079 12158 48828416 83 Linux | 13:42 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: one moment. It shouldn't do anything | 13:42 |
| oshin | 6079 == 6079, is that bad? | 13:42 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: aticonfig: command not found | 13:42 |
| c0nv1ct | bastardchild1982, it is a text file, open it as root with your favorite editor, add the line i mentioned to it and run `sudo update-grub2` | 13:43 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: hm, what if you install it and try it then, is it same segmentation fault | 13:43 |
| cryptk | anyone know what would be overriding my ~/.xprofile? | 13:44 |

| petan | gamerpro2000: that is last | 13:44 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: action done then it crashes | 13:44 |
| oshin | edz: wasn't there a dialog asking you to confirm you want to stick with it? | 13:45 |
| bastardchild1982 | ok i found it. now what do i do again | 13:45 |
| edz | i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? | 13:45 |
| edz | i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? | 13:45 |
| edz | yes | 13:45 |
| edz | sorry for posting again and again didnt think it was going through | 13:46 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: The segmentation fault started occurring when I switched to the radeon driver. Once I removed the fglrx driver, I switched the line for loading fglrx to loading radeon. Then I made a few changes to kdmrc and such to get the multiseat working and that's when startup began having issues. | 13:46 |
| edz | and it worked | 13:46 |
| edz | but | 13:46 |
| edz | it resets to none automatically | 13:46 |
| edz | ? | 13:46 |
| c0nv1ct | bastardchild1982, GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" <- add that as a new line at the end | 13:46 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: can you undo the changes to kdmrc | 13:46 |
| oshin | no idea then. | 13:46 |
| gamerpro2000 | petan: I already tried it. No avail. | 13:46 |
| edz | ok thank you | 13:47 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: switch to fglrx | 13:47 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: then do | 13:47 |
| edz | also, which is more stablme with ubuntu 10.10, ATI graphics or Nvidia? | 13:47 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: sudo aticonfig --initial | 13:47 |
| gamerpro2000 | edz: nvidia | 13:47 |
| doltox | Hi, i'm looking for some support with ubuntu, is there the right place ? | 13:47 |
| bastardchild1982 | it won't let me type in there | 13:47 |
| petan | gamerpro2000: it will generate xorg.conf | 13:47 |
| miguel000 | What can I do, to make my ubuntu also boot when I set AHCI mode (for my sata drive in the bios). Because it freezes during startup now. Only works in IDE mode. | 13:47 |
| oshin | nvidia is a bit buggy here.. but i doubt that ati is better. | 13:47 |
| miguel000 | anoyone any ideas? | 13:48 |
| miguel000 | or experiencing same problems? | 13:48 |
| edz | ok gamerpro thanks i have ATI which explains the lag in VLC i suppose and playback in general how can i be sure i have the latest drivers or is there a way i can know which exact settings to change in ATI catalyst? | 13:48 |
| oshin | edz: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5048310 | 13:48 |
| oshin | may that thread useful? using gconftool-2 | 13:48 |
| c0nv1ct | bastardchild1982, you must be doing something wrong then. open a terminal and type `sudoedit /etc/default/grub` and edit the file that way | 13:49 |
| oshin | edz: er, n/m | 13:49 |
| bastardchild1982 | i just installed this a sec ago. | 13:49 |

| blackshirt | hello | 14:41 |
| Krishnandu | c0nv1ct, I've that....now what should I need to compile gtk+ programming?? | 14:41 |
| c0nv1ct | Krishnandu, are you sure you mean "compile" because you should have what is necessary after installing that | 14:42 |
| sipior | Krishnandu: libgtk2.0-dev, libglib2.0-dev, &cet. | 14:42 |
| tripelb | basic question: I searched for a file. I found it. I want to open the "containing folder". HOW do I do this? | 14:42 |
| Krishnandu | c0nv1ct, It's not getting compiled, says gtk.h not found and some path problem with pkg-config | 14:43 |
| blackshirt | Krishnandu: install libgtk2.0-dev package | 14:43 |
| c0nv1ct | Krishnandu, ah, that is the key piece of information | 14:43 |
| Krishnandu | c0nv1ct, Blackguard Okies :) | 14:44 |
| wasutton3-lab | is there a little one liner that will remove the character \ from a file? | 14:44 |

| wasutton3-lab | llutz: Thank you, that worked perfectly | 14:47 |

| Krishnandu | blackshirt, well...I cudn't decide which one to take in account, gtk+ or qt | 14:48 |
| blackshirt | Krishnandu: feel free to choose one of them..if you comfort with c++ language, maybe qt better for you..but if you prefer C style, maybe gtk+ suite for you | 14:50 |
| Krishnandu | I'm more comfortable in C comparing to C++ | 14:50 |
| blackshirt | Krishnandu: i think you are better using GTK+..it was heavily developed in C-language | 14:51 |

| Krishnandu | blackshirt, Thanks...please one more help...as you said to use drag and drop feature I need glade, how to install it?? Once I read somewhere glade works better with Anjuta, I've it installed | 14:54 |
| blackshirt | hello floricienta | 14:54 |
| NetScr1be | Ubuntu 9.04 has frequent lock-ups w/ process status of poll_schedule_timeout | 14:54 |
| Krishnandu | blackshirt, Nothing, actually in my office I need to develop the windows app's in Linux too...they use VS2005 | 14:54 |
| wame | hi, is there a way to exclude a package from update / install in server mode ? i can do this under redhat with exclude in a conf file, but what about ubuntu ? | 14:55 |
| NetScr1be | the boards have a lot of questions but no answers on this topic | 14:55 |
| wame | without wahij or an external app | 14:55 |
| Krishnandu | blackshirt, I mean some client use linux, so we need to develop same app's in Linux too... | 14:55 |
| blackshirt | wame: yes, exactly..you can put a packages on hold | 14:55 |
| wame | blackshirt: dpkg or apt ? | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | !pinning | wame | 14:55 |
| ubottu | wame: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 14:55 |
| blackshirt | Krishnandu: you mean glade for interface builder ?? | 14:56 |
| wame | ubottu: well don't want to pin, for example i setup mysql with binary and not package | 14:56 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:56 |
| Krishnandu | blackshirt, yes...drag and drop gui tools?? | 14:56 |
| NetScr1be | is there a way to find poll-schedule_timeout in the source and get some info on it from there? | 14:56 |
| wame | and do not want someone else do a apt-get install mysql .... | 14:56 |
| NetScr1be | wame that sounds a lot like pinning | 14:57 |
| NetScr1be | install the version you want and lock it with apt | 14:57 |
| blackshirt | Krishnandu: i think you need glade, or glade-gnome | 14:57 |
| wame | apt-get install <package> Downloads <package> and all of its dependencies, and installs or upgrades them. This will also take a package off of hold if it was put on | 14:57 |
| Krishnandu | blackshirt, Okies...lemme see | 14:58 |
| NetScr1be | not if it's locked | 14:58 |
| wame | well it bypass hold :) | 14:58 |
| NetScr1be | hjold is not lock | 14:58 |
| NetScr1be | pinning/locking tells the system not change away from a certain version | 14:58 |

| gucki | hi. how can i make "apt-get -y ..." to not even ask for questions in post-install? | 15:54 |
| Magnum | samw: First, Have you tried the pulseaudio volume control ? and if you have FN-button + Sound volume up key ? | 15:54 |
| gucki | i need to fully automate and cant handle any dialogs in post-inst (like they show when you upgrade sshd). i'd simply assume yes everywhere | 15:55 |
| samw | zani: the Main-Class manifest attribute is what defines which part of the jar to run. it's inside the jar. if it fails, it means that the jar is not runnable or is not configured properly | 15:55 |
| samw | Magnum: the volume notifier works and is at full. is that the same thing as "pulseaudio volume control"? | 15:56 |
| samw | it goes up and down when i use fn+volume | 15:56 |
| samw | also, everything under "Sound Preferences" is cranked | 15:57 |

I'm trying to prohibit the network on eth2 reaching the box with samba so I added " interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.1/24 " and " bind interfaces only = yes " to the smb.conf file, but now no machines can see the sambashares... Anyone got a clue? | 16:08 |
| samw | BluesKaj: jesus.. there's a bot entry about this? how the hell did i miss it :( I'll check it out.. thanks | 16:08 |
| DonaldShimoda | hi, i have a new pc with amd phenom and ati video, any knows issues with 10.10? | 16:09 |
| Magnum | guillaume_: Arent the new ones better ? | 16:09 |
| guillaume_ | new ati drivers are good I think | 16:09 |
| guillaume_ | Phenos shouldn't be a problem | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | guillaume_, yes , most likely replaced with a newer driver , depending your card of course | 16:09 |
| DonaldShimoda | guillaume_, thanks | 16:09 |
| guillaume_ | Nps | 16:10 |
| DonaldShimoda | i will tell you later, get it in 2 hours! | 16:10 |
| dury | bbl I will check it out what's the error message | 16:10 |
| guillaume_ | You won't have trouble | 16:10 |
| guillaume_ | In the really worse case you'll have rare bugs but that's it | 16:10 |
| filosofixit | With the same setup, is it a problem to use the same netmask on two fhysical different networks? | 16:11 |
| vittorio__ | hello can somebody help me quickly with a litle problem with grub please ? | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | guillaume_, which nvidia card on which ubuntu version ? | 16:11 |
| A_New_Server | petan: Are you on? | 16:13 |
| Magnum | samw: Ah! Its one of those issues probably. You need to probe the alsa module with modulename=acer/fujitsu or something. I did that once before. Edited /etc/modprobe.conf but that could have been moved to somewhere like /etc/modprobe.d (I wish they stop changing all the paths so often as they do nowdays) | 16:13 |
| petan | A_New_Server: hm | 16:13 |
| guillaume_ | Kaj, I opened a private room | 16:13 |
| A_New_Server | petan: You were the one helping me before, right? | 16:13 |
| guillaume_ | << | 16:13 |
| petan | A_New_Server: it was me | 16:13 |
| ubuntuuser | Hi people | 16:14 |
| Magnum | samw: But its also facinating that playing music kills the driver. Thats a big bug. | 16:14 |
| tim167 | how do I upgrade from Hardy without erasing everything ? | 16:14 |
| filosofixit | Can someone with samba-skills please help me with this issue? = I have a router/samba-box with 3 NIC's (eth0=Internet, eth1/192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 = Local/Private network and eth2/192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0=Local/Public network. I'm trying to prohibit the network on eth2 reaching the box with samba so I added " interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.1/24 " and " bind interfaces only = yes " to the smb.conf file, but now no machines can see | 16:14 |
| filosofixit | the sambashares... Anyone got a clue? | 16:14 |
| A_New_Server | petan: Wooh, alright so last I recall you asked what my graphics card was and I told you, where go we from there? | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | guillaume_, is that an onboard ? | 16:14 |
| petan | A_New_Server: I suggested to reinstall and reconfigure fglrx, with aticonfig | 16:14 |
| bytesaber | NGEN | 16:14 |
| Magnum | samw: lspci ... check what driver it is if you have the time.. | 16:14 |
| chouchou | hello good morning all, pls I need someone who is good in english, I written an article, and I need help polishing it | 16:14 |

| petan | A_New_Server: reinstall only driver | 16:15 |
| ubuntuuser | it seems to be related to an incompatibility between the controller chip (VT6420) and the Western Digital Green Power disk | 16:15 |

| NetScr1be | I keep checking the boards (ubuntuforum mainly) and only find more people with the same issue | 16:17 |
| judgen | If ubuntu hangs when playing music, what might be the problem? | 16:17 |
| A_New_Server | How do I do that? I can't get on the OS | 16:17 |
| A_New_Server | petan: Or do I do it on my host? | 16:17 |
| petan | A_New_Server: press ctrl + alt f2 after bot | 16:17 |
| NetScr1be | Magnum, systems lags and hangs momentarily almost all processes have waiting channel status of poll_schedule_timeout | 16:18 |
| petan | A_New_Server: or what you mean you can't get | 16:18 |
| Pici | ubuntuuser: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates and perhaps #ubuntu-kernel if you're serious about helping it get in. | 16:18 |

| NetScr1be | 9.04 but extensive forum post reading shows it on many versions and multiple falvours | 16:19 |
| A_New_Server | petan: I'm at the dos (or command line or whatever it's called) and the GUI isn't loaded. How do I install it frmo there? | 16:19 |
| petan | A_New_Server: apt-get install fglrx | 16:19 |
| NetScr1be | don't know those cool version code names | 16:19 |
| halvor | hello | 16:19 |
| petan | A_New_Server: works? | 16:19 |
| Pici | !9.04 | NetScr1be | 16:19 |
| ubottu | NetScr1be: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 16:19 |
| NetScr1be | I'm running 9.04 on Asuss EEE 4g for 2 ywears | 16:19 |
| A_New_Server | petan: It says this package has unmet dependencies and it just keeps going on and on and on, it's like 100 lines and is going now as I type. | 16:20 |
| A_New_Server | petan: on and on listing things* | 16:20 |
| NetScr1be | upgrading beyond 9.04 fails on lack of disk space (4GB SSD only) | 16:20 |
| petan | A_New_Server: how many | 16:20 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:20 |
| petan | A_New_Server: just confirm and install | 16:21 |
| A_New_Server | It doesn't say, also how do I confirm? It just went back to ~$ | 16:21 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: Or use the gui to upgrade it. | 16:21 |
| petan | A_New_Server: you must do it as root | 16:21 |
| petan | A_New_Server: confirm with Y | 16:21 |
| A_New_Server | I did do it as root (it wouldn't let me do it without) | 16:22 |
| A_New_Server | y: command not found | 16:22 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: For some reason the older dists get updates that arent meant for them so that things dont work as expected. | 16:22 |
| A_New_Server | petan: doing apt-get -f install now, will that fix it? | 16:22 |
| Lufti | I've just upgraded a 10.04 Ubuntu to 10.10. No errors were displayed. But now, right after the installation, after a reboot the Ubuntu freezes at the loading screen (some seconds after the file system check has finished). After pressing a lot of key combinations I finally found myself in a terminal. I could not find any error messages in the log files I checked. Any Ideas? | 16:22 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: The odd part about that is that there is no investigation at all and no remedy as far from what i can tell. | 16:23 |
| petan | A_New_Server: what it say send me output | 16:23 |
| A_New_Server | Ok that fixed it actually, downloading now | 16:23 |
| petan | A_New_Server: in pm | 16:23 |
| NetScr1be | LOL sudo apt-get update returns Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com karmic/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic_partner_binary-i386_Packages) | 16:23 |
| NetScr1be | W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems | 16:23 |
| blackplague1347 | How do you pm? | 16:23 |
| A_New_Server | petan: I can't highlight it | 16:23 |
| A_New_Server | petan: It's downloading now though (the previous command you told me) | 16:23 |
| NetScr1be | Magnum I agreee about oddity | 16:23 |
| petan | A_New_Server: ok | 16:24 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: You need to fix your sources list :) | 16:24 |
| soee | whats the app name that i can use under windows to create usb live cd ? | 16:24 |
| NetScr1be | there's a bug open for it for a long time w/ no assignee and no updates from devs | 16:24 |
| A_New_Server | petan: Actually on second though I wouldn't be able to send it even if I could highlight, it's on vbox and I don't have the guest additions installed for this one | 16:24 |
| rusivi | Lufti: Try a live CD of 10.10, if you can get into the desktop may want to do a fresh install of 10.10 | 16:24 |
| A_New_Server | thought | 16:24 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: Yep, thats a shame i think. | 16:25 |
| Chiggins | Hey. If I wanted a minimal desktop for my ubuntu server install, what should i use? | 16:25 |
| sysRPL | hello | 16:25 |
| sysRPL | is this funny? http://fearsanity.us/palin/ | 16:25 |
| rusivi | NetScr1be: What bug # specifically? | 16:25 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: xfce | 16:25 |
| petan | sysRPL: this is ubuntu support | 16:26 |
| petan | A_New_Server: what it does | 16:26 |
| Ddorda | hey guysm how do i check apt-get upgrade packages list? | 16:26 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: But if you have a server thats not very old id still go for GNOME. Such a beauty. | 16:26 |
| Ddorda | Magnum: using a server with gnome?! | 16:26 |
| A_New_Server | petan: It seems sort of frozen, I see an underscore after 320kB/s 57s constantly blinking | 16:26 |
| A_New_Server | petan: And it's stuck on 22% | 16:27 |
| petan | that looks ok | 16:27 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - I'm just looking for something to test out my own Android build with the emulator... Only 1GB of RAM in this virtual machine | 16:27 |
| petan | does it transfer sth | 16:27 |
| rusivi | NetScr1be: Or do you have a link to the bug? | 16:27 |
| petan | A_New_Server: wait for it to install it | 16:27 |
| Magnum | Ddorda: Sure. I do that all around and its no problem securitywise. I get a good overlook of all my servers for its clearly woth it. | 16:27 |
| Ddorda | Chiggins: did you check fluxbox? | 16:27 |
| A_New_Server | petan: Ok | 16:27 |
| petan | A_New_Server: you said you have ati but you work on virtualbox | 16:28 |
| Chiggins | Ddorda - whats fluxbox | 16:28 |
| Ddorda | Magnum: well, it takes too much cpu IMHO | 16:28 |
| petan | A_New_Server: so you should not use ati driver | 16:28 |
| Ddorda | Chiggins: real light environment | 16:28 |
| petan | A_New_Server: just some universal vga driver | 16:28 |
| Magnum | Ddorda: Naah, a bit of ram, thats it. | 16:29 |
| Ddorda | Magnum: well check fluxbox ;) | 16:29 |
| Magnum | Ddorda: xorg only uses much cpu when logged in. | 16:29 |
| NetScr1be | hang on trying to fix sources.list | 16:29 |
| Magnum | Ddorda: xfce is also fast, but fluxbox can work. | 16:29 |
| experiMENTAL | hi. what is the best equivalent of windows movie maker on ubuntu? | 16:30 |
| Ddorda | Magnum: fxce is way slower than fluxbox | 16:30 |
| Magnum | Ddorda: I have tried most of the desktops and concluded that GNOME is where the X should be :) | 16:30 |
| Chiggins | Magnum / Ddorda - I just want something minimal. I'm going to just be SSHing in most of the time | 16:30 |
| llutz | Chiggins: use twm | 16:31 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: I suggest xfce in that case. But i dont know the progress of fluxbox to be fair. | 16:31 |
| BluesKaj | experiMENTAL, depends on what you want to do with video | 16:31 |
| coz_ | Chiggins, there is also lxde | 16:32 |

| NetScr1be | cr*p hang on | 16:32 |
| galendil | Hi everybody | 16:33 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Or you can just have xorg-libs, log in using: "ssh -X -l UserName HostName" and start the guis you need by using Xforwarding. | 16:33 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - How would that x forwarding stuff work? Never heard of that before | 16:33 |
| NetScr1be | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/488849 | 16:33 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Just start the application :) | 16:33 |
| experiMENTAL | BluesKaj: i want to cut flv file and create avi. | 16:33 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: You must log in with "ssh -X ..." | 16:34 |
| experiMENTAL | BluesKaj: and i want to add some subs. | 16:34 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - So that starts a GUI for me? Through the ssh connection? | 16:34 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Then you can start firefox or whatever on that computer but the graphics are forwarded to your local display. Very nice :) | 16:35 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Yes | 16:35 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - I'm using a Windows client, PuTTy... know if it'll work through that | 16:35 |
| DougEdgy | Chiggins: Just remember performance will be impacted ;) I used to use it at uni all the time, bleeding useful I can tell you | 16:35 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: The sshd server must be set to allow xforwarding but most are. If its not then edit sshd.conf and restart sshd | 16:36 |
| llutz | Chiggins: it works you just need a windows x-server like xming | 16:36 |
| DougEdgy | Chiggins: if your client ssh is putty you need to enable it under settings -> Connection-> SSH-> Tunnels | 16:36 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Yep, it even works for windows clients. Sweet eh ? :) | 16:36 |
| NetScr1be | magnum apt-get dist-upgrade is intended to upgrade kernel to latest version? | 16:37 |
| Magnum | no | 16:37 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: Thats a distribution upgrade | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | experiMENTAL, try Kino or Cinelerra | 16:38 |
| Chiggins | DougEdgy - What do I need to enable exactly | 16:38 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - What do i need to install on the server | 16:39 |
| Magnum | NetScr1be: Itll upgrade all your packages so that you get 10.04 or whatever. | 16:39 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Nothing except xorg-libs or the xorg-libraries | 16:40 |
| llutz | Magnum: it won't do that unless you change your sources.list. read "man apt-get" what it actually does | 16:40 |
| dans326 | I think I borked a samba share setup as the computer reports that the local folders aren't available and then wont move on after saying that it was terminated with status 32 at one point it gives me an option to skip by pressing s but that does nothing different for me any suggestions | 16:40 |
| experiMENTAL | BluesKaj: ty, ill try. | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | experiMENTAL, for video conversion ffmpeg in the command line is very effective | 16:40 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - Alright.. Just gotta figure out how to do this in putty | 16:41 |
| NetScr1be | magnum when I try to do this through the GUI it fails for lack of disk space | 16:41 |
| babaji | linux is open source right??? than why RHEL is charged?? | 16:41 |
| babaji | that means we can make our own linux modify it and charge for that distribution | 16:41 |
| llutz | babaji: stupid question, read what open source means and what not | 16:41 |
| llutz | babaji: read the GPL too | 16:42 |
| coz_ | experiMENTAL, in case you are not familiar with it a simple conversion with ffmpeg would be something like ffmpeg -i nameof.ogg nameof.avi for conversion from ogg to avi | 16:42 |
| babaji | @llutz sorry i am new to open source | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | babaji, not all linux severs are free RHEL is red hat enterprise software , that means it's proprietary and it costs | 16:42 |

| NetScr1be | magnum Asus EEE 4g only has 4GB SSD (/home on 8GB SD card) | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | juk_, tap water isn't free here , we get a water bill every month | 16:43 |
| goltoof | juk_: i'd never compare ubuntu to rhel as "tap vs coke" | 16:43 |
| Chiggins | DougEdgy -- In my putty its under Connection -> SSH -> X11 | 16:43 |
| samw | BluesKaj: Magnum: thanks for helping me track this down! one little line "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-2".. gotta love linux :) | 16:43 |
| babaji | if i take linux kernel change it according to my wishand bring new features than am i able to charge that distro? | 16:43 |
| experiMENTAL | BluesKaj, coz_ : thx | 16:44 |

| LoganJRuff | puddles, or that he wants to bring change to the kernel without actually taking steps to implement it. (Other than whispering in #ubuntu...) | 16:49 |
| foo23 | how can I encrypt files and folders without root or sudo permissions (should work on every system, like university systems)? everything I found (dm-crypt, truecrypt & Co need root for mount). | 16:49 |
| puddles | lucas_: you can tie a number of programs together to do that, but you're better off writing your own yeah? | 16:49 |
| Chinta | Just a quick one, anyone knows how to make Lucid (10.04) effectively recognise and use Creative's Zen Mozaic mp3 player? (amarok, gnomad2 and others failed to do so) | 16:49 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: There are several of those i think. | 16:49 |
| Asad-Ahmad | puddles: Thanks man. But that looks like its CLI.. | 16:49 |
| StaRetji | Folks, what could be causing this problem: The system is going down for reboot NOW! and it stays like that, I can still operate on my computer? | 16:49 |
| babaji | thank u everyone !!! :) | 16:49 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: If you have a linux client its ok by default. | 16:49 |
| andeeeuk | hey everyone | 16:50 |
| puddles | asad-ahmad: if you want pretty graphs you have to build it yourself with rrdtools and perhaps some php graph front ends. there are some nice ones | 16:50 |
| LoganJRuff | foo23, you're attempting to encrypt files you do not own? | 16:50 |
| LoganJRuff | Asad-Ahmad, cli is nothing to be scared of =) | 16:50 |
| Asad-Ahmad | puddles: Hmm. I will look into it. | 16:50 |
| puddles | asad-ahmad: assuming you collect data with rrdtools, you can chart with this nice php lib, http://pchart.sourceforge.net/ | 16:50 |
| andeeeuk | does any one know if there is a way to stop moving windows by pressing "alt+click"? | 16:50 |
| LoganJRuff | andeeeuk, System-> | 16:51 |
| Asad-Ahmad | LoganJRuff: I am all for CLI man, but for something of this sort, a minimial sort of GUI, like TCPView has, doesn't harm much | 16:51 |
| LoganJRuff | andeeeuk, System->Preferences->Windows | 16:51 |
| puddles | staretji: guess --- hung network mount points | 16:51 |
| ThisBeMyNick | It looks like screen eats the bell character/terminal beep? Does anyone know what is wrong? (10.04) | 16:51 |
| andeeeuk | excellent, thanks!! | 16:51 |
| LoganJRuff | andeeeuk, Always a pleasure. =) | 16:51 |
| andeeeuk | something soo simple | 16:52 |
| Magnum | LoganJRuff: He wants to encrypt but not need to "su -" to use the dm-crypt program im guessing.. | 16:52 |
| Asad-Ahmad | I basically want to see the outbound connections, because Firestarter doesn't have an option like Allow outbound traffic on specific programs when they ask for it. | 16:52 |
| lucas_ | puddles, how can i write my own then? | 16:52 |
| detrix | I have a external hard drive, that is HFS+ format. Having trouble writing to the drive. can read no problems. I have turned of journaling. what else do I need to do? | 16:52 |
| andeeeuk | just got photoshop cs4 working on ubuntu and really needed the alt key for stuff to work | 16:52 |
| lucas_ | windows does have some awsome software but i refuse to pay 600 dollars for a license:p | 16:52 |
| puddles | lucas_: study the source of camorama or some other video4linux client? | 16:52 |
| LoganJRuff | Magnum, yeah, I saw that, but the issue is that if he's encrypting files he's not the owner of he will always need root. | 16:52 |
| lucas_ | puddles, i have 0,0 experience with making software on linux :P | 16:53 |
| LoganJRuff | Unless he chowns them...? Which would be tedious? | 16:53 |
| Magnum | LoganJRuff: truecrypt <- non-free also i guess. So its a commercial. | 16:53 |
| Asad-Ahmad | I have used etherape, but that only shows the the hostnames, not the process using it | 16:53 |
| andeeeuk | is anyone needs to use photoshop on linux it works really well | 16:53 |
| puddles | lucas_: well dude, you can't have it both ways. if you have no experience writing software, PAY someone to do it (or buy license) | 16:53 |
| Asad-Ahmad | Magnum: Truecrypt is free AFAIK | 16:53 |
| foo23 | Magnum: even truecrypt needs root-perm to mount | 16:53 |
| Magnum | LoganJRuff: Entirely correct. | 16:53 |
| puddles | lucas_: otherwise, learn | 16:53 |
| foo23 | Magnum: and truecrypt is free | 16:53 |
| LoganJRuff | andeeeuk, most of us shoot for the non-free option (gimp or other) | 16:53 |
| ThisBeMyNick | truecrypt is open source, but not considered free due to a strange license. | 16:54 |
| Chiggins | Magnum - DougEdgy .. Sweet, it seems to be working. Thanks! | 16:54 |
| andeeeuk | LoganJRuff yeah i do like gimp and have used it a lot but simple love photoshop | 16:54 |
| LoganJRuff | andeeeuk, Cool =) But let's try to keep to topic, ok buddy? | 16:55 |
| foo23 | so anyone has a clue how i can encrypt folders/files without root or sudo permissions? | 16:55 |
| andeeeuk | LoganJRuff lol, yeah will do | 16:56 |
| LoganJRuff | foo23, as stated, unless you are the owner of the files in question then you will need to su, sudo, or chown them to encrypt them. | 16:56 |
| Magnum | Chiggins: Np | 16:56 |

| puddles | i've had troubles with truecrypt-generated fat file system ... linux doesn't like some fields in there (granted this was generated with older truecrypt) | 17:03 |
| puddles | asad-ahmad: LUKS does a fantastic job ... | 17:03 |
| foo23 | puddles: does luks work without root permission? | 17:03 |
| puddles | foo23: sure, plug a drive that's encrypted, enter the password, access the drive, easy | 17:04 |
| foo23 | puddles: yeah, but this wont work on other systems which don't have this plugin-feature | 17:04 |
| puddles | foo23: works on ubuntu, fedora and probably other distros. what's the point exactly? | 17:05 |
| foo23 | puddles: won't work with a copied container-file on servers. at least not the university ones | 17:05 |
| puddles | foo23: wait ... so ... let me think about this ... you want to use encrypted filesystem on a system you don't have root? | 17:06 |
| foo23 | puddles: i want to have folders encrypted on a system I don't have root. (yes, GPG, but no, thats not what I like to have) | 17:07 |
| Travis-42 | on 10.04, bluetooth says it is disabled, even when i click to turn it on. how can I get bluetooth working? | 17:07 |
| puddles | foo23: there's fundamentally broken use model right there. it's not your machine ... why do you want to use sensitive data on it? how do you know your data won't leak somewhere (swap file, swap partition, core dumps, etc.)? | 17:07 |
| StaRetji | puddles: thx for a tip, only choice I had was to unplug the cable :) I hope it is nothing serious | 17:08 |
| puddles | foo23: even the home directory ... you mount stuff, access stuff ... stuffs end up in thumbnails, history, shell history, etc. | 17:08 |
| foo23 | puddles: you never know if there is a bug in the system so someone has access to it. then even a full disk encryption at home doesnt work. | 17:09 |
| puddles | staretji: nah, usually not | 17:09 |
| babaji | how can i study about internal working of .deb | 17:09 |
| StaRetji | folks, I have plymouth theme on shutdown, but on boot, it shows up just a second before x is started | 17:09 |
| StaRetji | puddles: thx man | 17:09 |
| foo23 | puddles: the question is not if it makes sence or not. its about: is there a way which is not gpg | 17:09 |
| babaji | ? | 17:09 |
| dans326 | I think I borked a samba share setup as the computer reports that the local folders aren't available and then wont move on after saying that it was terminated with status 32 at one point it gives me an option to skip by pressing s but that does nothing different for me any suggestions | 17:09 |
| puddles | staretji: timing issues. your graphics subsystem takes too long to be ready, that by then ubuntu is ready to get into X so it's kind of pointless | 17:09 |
| foo23 | babaji: maybe mc is helpful for you | 17:10 |
| xl | hello? | 17:10 |

| oldIT781 | Ubuntu 10.10 makes my PSU whine, but 10.04 does not? Anyone know how to fix this? I recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 now i have this whine from my PSU. I have isolated my hard drive and its not my CPU fan either. The whine only happens sometimes. I have experimented by trying both the 10.04 and 10.10 OS test on flash drive and 10.10 gives me the whine. | 17:23 |
| mansoluvlucid | linuzo:HDMI sound is working fine for me.I'm on ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.:D:os | 17:23 |
| linuzo | mansoluvlucid, Whats the driver do you know off hand | 17:24 |
| puddles | oldit781: replace the fan? | 17:24 |
| linuzo | mansoluvlucid, ati? nvidia? | 17:24 |
| rusivi | MiMe: Then you need image recognition software, IDK of any that will fit your situation that is FOSS. | 17:24 |
| mansoluvlucid | nvidia | 17:24 |
| ikonia | xxploit: try this command - your permissions are all messed up. "sudo chmod -R 775 /media/oldhd" | 17:24 |
| xzaz | ikonia: any clue what is happening? | 17:24 |
| xzaz | ikonia: thanks for helping btw ;) | 17:25 |
| oldIT781 | puddles: I could do that but it was a 90$ psu .... id rather return the PSU. I dont understand WHY an upgrade would make a difference? Also, on Win 7 does not produce the whine. | 17:25 |
| ikonia | xzaz: just looks like a permissions issue, try that command and see what happens | 17:25 |
| xzaz | ikonia: thanks | 17:25 |
| linuzo | mansoluvlucid, Did you have to do anything to tweak it? I'm on fedora right now but can't seem to get audio for some reason | 17:25 |
| linuzo | shows the driver and everything | 17:25 |
| puddles | oldit781: i don't see how an os could make a psu whine, besides maybe the overall system runs a little hotter. but that's all i can think of. if your psu whines because the system runs hotter, well, hmm ... gee ... replace the psu? | 17:26 |
| MiMe | Is there any program for evaluating the result of multiple-choice exam I have taken from my students? (I have scanned the sheets already) it should be kinda simple I think, a sample sheet is here: http://s14.aks98.com/images/38709114708654976377.jpg | 17:26 |

| ikonia | MiMe: no | 17:26 |
| MiMe | ikonia: oh, thanks god :D | 17:26 |
| oldIT781 | puddles: Its odd because sometimes the whine goes away. For instance, the whine does not start until 10ish seconds after 10.10 has loaded the log on screen. | 17:27 |
| mansoluvlucid | linuzo:But in nvidia do have some gliches. Nouveau Driver is the best until nvidia is properly supported. | 17:27 |
| ikonia | oldIT781: sounds like a hardware failure/overload | 17:27 |
| dans326 | oldIT781: it could be that 10.10 casuses a heavier load on your system and increasing the power consumption and lowering availible power to the fan its like a belt in a car that only squeals when you run heater and AC (extra power usage makes alternator harder to turn and slightly worn belt slips) | 17:28 |
| bluethundr | is there an ubuntu specific version of the openssh source? I am attempting to patch it on 10.10 but dpkg is complaining about missing the debian/changelog | 17:28 |
| oldIT781 | dans326 and ikonia: is there a different requirement for 10.10? | 17:28 |
| mansoluvlucid | linuzo:nvida and Nouveau are video card drivers.It has nothing to do with audio. | 17:29 |
| oldIT781 | dans326 and ikonia: power requirement that is. | 17:29 |
| oldIT781 | I am using a Nexus 430w PSU. Fine for Win 7 and ubuntu 10.04 but not fine for 10.10? | 17:29 |

My videos are on a seperate ext3 partition, that I have mounted under /media/sda6/videos. I can not get mythbuntu to see the videos in that directory. Under mythbuntu 8 there was a file browse utility that would catalog the new videos, but... | 17:30 |

| dans326 | alternativly try changing the orientation of the machine itself .... | 17:32 |
| oldIT781 | dans326: yeah, i know my first was not DOA but it did not function properly. I sent it back and they confirmed it and sent me a new one. | 17:32 |
| ikonia | oldIT781: errr not really, not like that | 17:33 |
| NetScr1be | will apt-cdrom -d /media/usr install an upgrade from that disk? | 17:33 |
| dans326 | my 7.04 system's fan started screaming the other day I layed the machine down to fix it and it stopped ... so I left it on its side | 17:33 |
| dany_ | there is a ./configure script, I tried also: ./configure LIBS=-ldc1394 | 17:33 |
| ikonia | dany_: ok, so check your inlcudes, you may want to ask in ##c++ as it's not an ubuntu issue | 17:33 |
| oldIT781 | ikonia: yeah i figured so. it would have to be a hardware device. but i thought it may be worth asking. | 17:33 |
| NetScr1be | upon a subsequent apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:33 |
| dany_ | ikonia: I think it's a problem of that package | 17:34 |
| oldIT781 | ikonia: so to your understanding there is no significant power usage difference between 10.04 and 10.10? | 17:34 |
| dany_ | how can I see if I have that library installed? is there a way to find the path of that library? | 17:34 |
| NetScr1be | brb it's nap time for a certain little girl | 17:34 |

| tzanger | good afternoon. Fresh 64-bit install of 10.10 on a Toshiba U300 (core2, intel gfx) and suspend/hibernate both fail (gives me text-mode login screen but it's hung). 10.04 worked like a charm so it's something that's changed between revisions of Ubuntu | 17:42 |

| StaRetji | puddles: so it safe for me to remove it from /etc/init/ ? hehe | 17:45 |
| ikonia | dany_: it means it can't resolve the hostname | 17:46 |
| ikonia | oops | 17:46 |
| puddles | staretji: i suppose, or just short circuiting it (exit 0 near beginning) | 17:46 |
| ikonia | dans326: it means it can't resolve the host name | 17:46 |
| dans326 | yea I gathered that much ... but after it fails it hangs and wont finish booting so I can go in and make changes | 17:46 |
| dany_ | ikonia: if I want to install that library in /usr/include/ instead of the default prefix what should I do with the ./configure file? | 17:47 |

| dany_ | ikonia: I know | 17:53 |
| i_is_broke | Guest_234: try adding it to pidgin or any other messengers that support it. | 17:53 |
| ikonia | dany_: why did you not use the version out of the package manager ? | 17:53 |
| puddles | dany: i think you haven't investigated the "proper" way to do this | 17:53 |
| ikonia | dany_: you know what ? | 17:54 |
| ikonia | dany_: I asked why you are not using the version packaged from ubuntu ? | 17:54 |
| dany_ | puddles: the fact is that "my" project doesn't see the library if it is in /usr/local | 17:54 |
| puddles | dany: you can put stuff in /usr/local just fine and make whatever you want load that just fine, at most you just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and at worst you just force a preload with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libfoo.so | 17:54 |

| krunal | trying to see files and folders on a PC from ubuntu 10.10 | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | krunal: much better, technically a ping is a "connection" so give as much detail as you can in future. ;) | 18:23 |
| dans326 | so as it turns out the correct solution to my boot issue was to put my install disk in go into rescue mode and edit fstab with vi to remove the two shares I tried to set up | 18:23 |

| krunal | yes ActionParsnip | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | krunal: is it windows7? | 18:24 |
| krunal | ActionParsnip, i just did a ping test and it was successful. Yes windows 7 | 18:24 |
| banker247 | ie. can you just stick it onto a drive and untar it and have a fully functioning os? | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | krunal: do you have windows live messenger installed? | 18:24 |
| rudenstam | aah... I think I might know what the problem is.. 32bit vs. 64bit I read somewhere.. | 18:24 |
| krunal | ActionParsnip, on the windows 7 pc? no | 18:24 |

You'll find the hdd in /mnt or /media it will probably e in a directory with a long string of numbers and letters. From what I remember off the top of my head it is mount --bind /mnt/whateveritis/proc and similar for sys, then sudo chroot /mnt/whateveritis. Check this though! | 18:33 |

| bang0 | Hi. Fresh install of 10.10(64 bit). I keep reading the nVidia proprietary drivers are better than the ones offered by Ubuntu on first boot. Can someone suggest a good site(with a PPA perhaps) explaining how to install them? Thanks. | 19:09 |

| harsh | @rames thanks for ur help | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | A_New_Server: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-global-menu-common_.7.9-0ubuntu1 yadda yadda. (Complete the filename) | 19:10 |
| rames | harsh: foo.sh (your software) does not require source to be made available .... if you make changes to core linux stuff then you are modifying it so you have to make those mod's public | 19:10 |
| zani | I've been finding lots of problems since I got ubuntu :( I'm starting to get bored | 19:10 |
| red2kic | bang0: Have you experienced any issues? Because if you don't, it's generally recommended that you try to use your distribution's driver packages. | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | A_New_Server: you get the idea. There is a conflict of files so just tell dpkg to force and do it anyway. I suggest you contact the developer to let them know | 19:10 |
| bang0 | red2kic, understood. | 19:11 |
| rames | zani: how are you determining what video driver you are using? | 19:11 |
| pokoko222 | which editor to use for c++ in ubuntu? | 19:11 |
| pokoko222 | netbeans or eclipse? | 19:11 |
| erUSUL | !ide | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | pokoko222: either will do | 19:11 |
| zani | it's sticked on my tower.. | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | erUSUL: lookslike she's sleeping | 19:11 |

| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 19:12 |
| erUSUL | ... ouch ^.^ | 19:12 |
| harsh | @rames appreciate ur answer......! from where i can learn about the inner working of .deb | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | erUSUL: coffee. Always works ;) | 19:12 |

| red2kic | bang0: I'm not sure about PPA as I don't have problem with my drivers. You also can run the .bin directly from Nvidia website. Not that you need it, I think. | 19:12 |
| erUSUL | ActionParsnip: :D | 19:12 |
| rames | harsh: debian policy guide ... google some "debian new maintainer program" | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pokoko222: that list ubottu gave are all in the repo and can be used to code c++ | 19:13 |
| bang0 | red2kic, thanks 4 answering. Is it easy to "toggle" between the two drivers to cross-test which is superior? | 19:13 |
| pokoko222 | i need someone that dont take time to learn | 19:13 |
| rames | harsh: it will take quite a bit of work to get ~good~ at debian packages, but print out (on paper) a bunch of those guides / books and you will do fine | 19:13 |
| pokoko222 | ActionParsnip so netbeans or eclipse are the ones i think about | 19:13 |
| dekroning | i have a service, that needs to be start before X11 starts... how can i make sure it's started before x11 ? | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pokoko222: try a few, see which you find easiest to learn | 19:13 |
| pokoko222 | emacs and others i have no time to learn | 19:14 |
| rautamiekka | pokoko222: If you don't mind installing Wine and then Notepad++ on it, you could use that. I do every possible text editing on N++ where possible. | 19:14 |
| red2kic | bang0: That... I cannot answer. :X | 19:14 |

| puddles | phoul: you can easily set the governor / speed that way | 19:23 |
| A_New_Server | ActionParsnip, which config file? | 19:23 |
| rautamiekka | phoul: To use less energy when possible. | 19:23 |

| karthick87 | Is it possible to configure the unity application launcher's width, so it will be smaller... | 19:41 |
| puddles | thepub: so different wndow manager => different key bindings | 19:41 |
| _jesse_ | _Neytiri_: you want to reinstall gnome ? | 19:41 |

| shontaka | i can find it if i install windows but during ubuntu install it never detects my sata drive | 19:42 |
| dec3pti0n | I have done it in several debian boxes and doing the same on ubuntu but this crap just won't work | 19:42 |
| _jesse_ | _Neytiri_: :P so do you want to reinstall or restart? | 19:42 |
| bang0 | _Neytiri_, if you messed it up in your userspace, just make new userspace and move items to that | 19:42 |
| puddles | shontaka: what's the controller | 19:42 |
| _Neytiri_ | no i messed it up globally | 19:42 |
| bang0 | _Neytiri_, uh oh | 19:42 |
| ThePub | puddles: that isn't indicated at all! so how do I get these shortcuts to work again? | 19:42 |

| _Neytiri_ | i created a ney user and i cant get it to wokr e=itehr | 19:43 |

| Roasted_ | whats the difference between safely remove and unmount? | 20:10 |
| puddles | roasted_: unmount leaves the device logically attached to your system (so you can double-click and remount). safely removes takes it out of your system so you have to unplug/replug | 20:11 |

| alazyworkaholic | AivarasKilivlius: 2.6.35 .32 is 10.04 | 20:13 |
| puddles | roasted_: unmount won't return until it's finished writing buffers. so when unmount is done, you can remove | 20:13 |

| izinucs | lordthoron: actually .. if you load windows in Virtualbox ... | 20:27 |
| walt_ | what gives? | 20:27 |
| puddles | lordthoron: sort of. there's context tracker for gallium3d but that's not yet production ready | 20:27 |
| moon__ | sudo | 20:27 |
| velko | mikebot, it should already be there. but in the menu it might be called like "disk usage analyzer" for user friendlines | 20:27 |
| velko | mikebot, or just type it's name in a terminal | 20:27 |
| siddhion | clever, ahh yes. right you are. | 20:27 |

| bung | How do I remove something from the "Windows Network" place under "Network" in file manager? | 20:29 |
| bung | is that in a config file somewhere I can delete? | 20:30 |

| velko | mikebot, i don't know. i don't use it since a lot of year | 20:30 |
| puddles | bung: locate the offending computer. smash it to bits with a big hammer. there. removed from "Windows Network" | 20:30 |

| mikebot | velko: Oh, here's the most important question: baobab says that my personal folder (/michael) is only 1.7GB, and that 6GB is being used. | 20:31 |
| puddles | mikebot: you can also install windows via usb stick but it's more complicated. you have to do this via pre-execute environment | 20:31 |
| mikebot | velko: HOw else is that space being used? | 20:31 |

| ferris_ | BlaDe... what are you trying to do? | 20:32 |
| velko | mikebot, ask the tool to "scan the file system". for this you'll need to start it as root | 20:32 |
| puddles | mikebot: read up on Windows PE ... | 20:32 |
| BlaDe^ | I want to export my chart as a png | 20:32 |
| moon__ | open office is slow | 20:33 |
| mikebot | puddles: Windows PE, OK, thanks. | 20:33 |
| DasEi | mikebot: so got your answer | 20:33 |
| BlaDe^ | I read that you can do it using draw but I can't find draw in apt | 20:33 |
| BlaDe^ | I can't copy/paste it into gimp either | 20:33 |
| mikebot | velko: OK, did that thanks. | 20:33 |
| puddles | mikebot: it (PE) also comes in useful if you want to update a linux-only laptop's bios (which are windows-based) | 20:33 |
| BlaDe^ | and it says write error if I try and save the document as html (which I assume would save an image too) | 20:33 |
| puddles | mikebot: you'd make yourself a custom usb stick with windowsPE and use that to update your bios | 20:33 |
| mikebot | velko: root is only 4.5MB? | 20:33 |
| DasEi | BlaDe^: it shoould have an export-function (oo) | 20:34 |

| mikebot | puddles: IS there a way to do du -ksh and have the output saved into a text file instead of displayed? | 20:36 |

| puddles | clever: that's clever ... ahahaha ... but ... | 20:36 |
| velko | mikebot, yes. just append "> myfile.txt" to the end of your command and the output will be saved to myfile.txt in your current working directory | 20:37 |
| ferris_ | i have also tried the dpkg-reconfigure... but there is no setup screens. The last time I did this in Debian there were screens so I expect to see some of them in Ubuntu as well. | 20:37 |

| ThisBeMyNick | Terminal will not beep, when using screen. Like screen is eating the bell character. (Ubuntu 10.04) Has anyone got an idea? | 20:44 |
| velko | mikebot, and what makes you believe that more disk space is used? | 20:45 |
| velko | mikebot, you may try also "df -h" to see the usage in all your partitions | 20:45 |
| puddles | meowsus; what do you mean by "can't get past login screen"? | 20:46 |
| meowsus | puddles, i click my user and type my password, the screen flashes black and some text appears very quickly, then right back to the login screen | 20:46 |

| mikebot | velko: I'm supposed to have 6GB | 20:48 |
| velko | ThisBeMyNick, i think that screen just uses visual bell instead of sound | 20:48 |
| velko | mikebot, does "df -h" also say so? | 20:48 |
| meowsus | DasEi, trying now... nVidia | 20:48 |
| puddles | aeronius: "xrefresh" ? | 20:48 |
| mikebot | velko: Disk Usage Analyzer says: "Total filesystem capacity: 6.7 GB (used: 6.0 Gb available: 688.1 MB)" | 20:48 |
| Aeronius | should I type that in a terminal? | 20:49 |

| mikebot | velko: Also, of that apparently free 600MB, when I open a folder, the bottom of the folder states that there is only 340MB free. | 20:50 |
| distant2 | should i install ubuntu on the system (instead of live try) to make the usb modem internet work? | 20:50 |
| Nastya | hi there! | 20:50 |
| Aeronius | ok, I did it, it didn't say anything, and nothing happened as far as I can tell | 20:50 |
| meowsus | DasEi, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm didn't work, neither did sudo nvidia-xconfig | 20:50 |

| Aeronius | puddles: did you see that? | 20:52 |
| mikebot | puddles: Ah, I missed the 3GB | 20:52 |
| velko | mikebot, from the "du" output one can see that /usr takes 3GB, /home almost 2GB and /lib and /var combined one more. so what is the problem? | 20:52 |
| mikebot | puddles: What stuff is in usr/? | 20:52 |
| Nastya | I have a question. When my laptop is almost out of the battery I can see the message: "Your battery is critically low" and the two buttons: "OK" and "Cancel". What is the difference between these buttons in this case??? | 20:52 |
| puddles | mikebot: bins, libraries, icons, pictures, *stuff* :-) | 20:53 |
| meowsus | DasEi, I found an article online about making Ubuntu boot to CLI instead of gdm at boot, it said to run "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" that didn't work - it booted to the login screen where i'm having the issue. so i ran "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" but the problem didnt go away | 20:53 |

| mikebot | velko: Is there a way to open a folder as root? | 21:08 |
| mikebot | velko: Because I cannot delete those files | 21:08 |
| velko | mikebot, puddles gives you a command to not do it manually. but it does not hurt to delete them manually | 21:09 |
| velko | mikebot, yes you have to be root | 21:09 |
| puddles | (sudo apt-get clean) | 21:09 |
| velko | mikebot, just prepend sudo to puddles command | 21:09 |

| mikebot | bastidrazor: It's in /home/test | 21:14 |
| Maddeth | mikebot, ^ | 21:14 |
| elky | puddles, unfortunately it's offtopic for this channel. Chatter about who you sit next to on planes is more suited for the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. But do mind the swearing there too. | 21:14 |
| puddles | mikebot: exactly what it said, "directory not empty" so not deleting the directory as a way to prevent you from doing something you might regret. | 21:14 |
| mikebot | Nothign in /home/test could be impostant, right? | 21:14 |
| puddles | elky: ok | 21:14 |
| puddles | see ya in a bit | 21:14 |
| bastidrazor | mikebot: you're fine then. | 21:14 |
| Maddeth | rmdir only removes empty directories, rm -r recursivly removes the directory and its content mikebot | 21:14 |
| mikebot | Maddeth: Thanks. | 21:15 |
| mikebot | bastidrazor: Thank you. | 21:15 |
| LoganJRuff | mikebot, bastidrazor always remember that you can build a potentially dangerous command with "ls" appending the arguments (ls /path/to/argument) to see the results of your command before you actually execute it. | 21:15 |
| velko | mikebot, it's stuff put either by you in this directory or by someone who used this computer. i'ts not system related. the decision to prune it is all yours | 21:15 |
| * LoganJRuff won't run rm -r commands without checking the results using ls first... just to be safe. >_> | 21:15 | |

| ubottu | dataviruset: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:17 |
| dataviruset | i think there are several bug fixes :o | 21:18 |

| velko | goltoof, maybe you associated by mistake opening a "folder" with mplayer instead of "nautilus". maybe because you wanted all files in a folder played by mplayer. and it stuck that way | 21:21 |

| DasEi | !winedb | mert_74 | 21:57 |
| PeterNL | But I don't know what the default burning program is in the latest ubuntu versions... | 21:58 |
| Sheet | it has other files in it too that won't rtun with deevde | 21:58 |

| Jordan_U | noob-tux: Those files are only "suspicious", not neccisarily malware. I would use "debsums" to confirm that each of those files comes from a trusted package (and is unaltered). | 21:58 |
| Sheet | but are part of the dd | 21:58 |
| phoul | anyone know? | 21:58 |
| Sheet | I can't use Wine, it doesn't work | 21:58 |
| mert_74 | DasEi: ah don't tell me wine :) | 21:58 |
| phoul | I basically need to be able to remove this thing without it trying to remove a bunch of other stuff so i can reinstall the version that should be there | 21:58 |
| Sheet | It's taken more craps on me than any other program | 21:58 |
| DasEi | mert_74: would be interested in feedback;; why ? | 21:58 |
| PeterNL | Sheet: you just need to copy the files. You shouldn't have to care about the fact it is a video :) | 21:58 |
| Sheet | just copy it to dvd? | 21:58 |
| mert_74 | DasEi sorry what do you mean feedback ? | 21:59 |
| Sheet | like data dvd? | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | Sheet: If you made an image using dd, just burn that image. | 21:59 |
| bastidrazor | Sheet: devede can create an iso out of those files to be burnt. | 21:59 |
| Sheet | It won't work on devede, some of the files on there devede will not convert to | 21:59 |
| connermcd | I'm having trouble getting a script to run on startup... I have put it in /etc/init.d and run sudo update-rc.d <script> defaults | 21:59 |
| PeterNL | Sheet: yes, like a data dvd | 21:59 |
| Sheet | oh | 21:59 |
| phoul | is there a way to downgrade applications using apt | 21:59 |
| Sheet | I hope it works | 21:59 |
| DasEi | mert_74: good you wrong, tunapie is a linux app, o'course, was on the wrong way | 22:00 |
| DasEi | got | 22:00 |
| DasEi | hehe | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | Sheet: "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=file.iso" gives you an iso image you can burn with brasero/wodym/ any other burning program. | 22:00 |
| velko | phoul, use lower level package manager "dpkg --remove package" and reinstall the desired version. dpkg won't go after dependencies | 22:00 |
| connermcd | I'm having trouble getting a script to run on startup... I have put it in /etc/init.d and run sudo update-rc.d <script> defaults | 22:00 |
| Sheet | I can't convert it to an ISO is what i'm saying Jordan_U | 22:00 |
| Sheet | ... | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | Sheet: If you made the image with dd then it already *is* an iso. | 22:01 |
| g__ | if i have a partition incorrectly reporting free space (less than it should) should i reformat it? | 22:01 |
| dupondje- | Somebody is using evolution with LDAP ? | 22:01 |
| Sheet | I can't, once again make it with Devede | 22:01 |
| phoul | velko: that doesnt work | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | Sheet: How exactly did you use dd? | 22:01 |
| phoul | it says dependency problems prevent removal lol | 22:01 |
| Sheet | I didn't....... | 22:01 |
| Sheet | not with this. | 22:01 |
| ubuntuser | yoohoo.. i have a 16gb kinston datatraveler dt100 that is new and i saved some files on it but now linux and windows recognizes it but has no partition table.. | 22:01 |
| mert_74 | DasEi: i did not say that tunapie is not a linux program. already i use it ... tunapie is very good program ... i just give it an example. i need a program like tunapie but not for radios ofcorse for tv ... | 22:02 |
| ChogyDan | phoul: add --force-depends to the command | 22:02 |
| connermcd | I'm having trouble getting a script to run on startup... I have put it in /etc/init.d and run sudo update-rc.d <script> defaults | 22:02 |
| ChogyDan | phoul: then sudo apt-get install -f to reinstall it | 22:02 |
| Jordan_U | Sheet: Ahh, when you said "part of the dd" I thought you were talking about the utility "dd", not just a misspelling of "dvd" :) | 22:03 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: how about upstart? | 22:03 |
| Sheet | oh no | 22:03 |
| Scunizi | Sheet: is this a ripped DVD you're trying to burn with Devede? If so you might rip with handbreak instead and then burn with devede.. if it's something other than a DVD rip then use k3b to burn the image | 22:03 |
| phoul | thanks ChogyDan is there a way to sanity check the system after to make sure i didnt just break everything | 22:03 |
| Sheet | I'm not sure | 22:03 |
| Sheet | it's disk one of 4 Scunizi | 22:03 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan can you give me an example | 22:04 |
| Scunizi | Sheet: 1 of 4 what? dvd's? | 22:04 |
| Sheet | Yes | 22:04 |
| Sheet | It has a folder with multiple files | 22:04 |
| Sheet | only 3 types | 22:04 |
| mert_74 | DasEi: they send me e-mail. they don't send me any deb package or something... :( ohh we need open-source program ... | 22:04 |
| GS_ | I got a noobish question about software installation when you guys get a minute | 22:04 |
| Kyuusai-San | hello, anyone know of a mail client that can forward in ubuntu | 22:04 |
| ChogyDan | phoul: I guess so, the apt-get install -f command is already a sanity check | 22:04 |
| DasEi | mert_74: will do in short, pm me | 22:04 |
| Sheet | the videos wil work but not the writing part which is the most importiant of the screen play backround I THINK. | 22:04 |
| Kyuusai-San | dont say evolution or thunderbird cause they dont work | 22:04 |
| Kyuusai-San | for forwarding | 22:04 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: what do you want the script to start, after startup? | 22:04 |
| Jordan_U | Sheet: Try just burning a data DVD containing the VIDEO_TS (and any other files/directories). | 22:04 |
| Scunizi | Sheet: the best ripper I've seen is handbreak.. you can get it at handbreak.fr . | 22:04 |
| velko | GS_, just ask your question. if anybody can will answer | 22:05 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan sure | 22:05 |
| Sheet | Scunizi, | 22:05 |
| Sheet | Seems like a site with a bunch of ads | 22:05 |
| g__ | adblock+ ;) | 22:06 |
| Sheet | BUP, IFO, VOB are the file types. | 22:06 |
| Kyuusai-San | Sheet | 22:06 |
| Kyuusai-San | http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php | 22:06 |
| Scunizi | Sheet: this one? http://handbrake.fr/ | 22:06 |
| ubuntuser | i have a 16gb kinston datatraveler dt100 that is new and i saved some files on it but now linux and windows recognizes it but has no partition table.. i don't care abuot the info on the drive but just wast the drive to function properly | 22:06 |
| GS_ | right-o. so I installed the DNS query tool from the Ubuntu Software Center, and it doesn't put an icon in the applications menu. I tried to put one in manually in the menu editor, but I can't find it in there. I don't know how to make an entry manually, and the website that made the software was of absolutely no help | 22:06 |
| Sheet | http://handbreak.fr/ | 22:07 |
| Sheet | i was there | 22:07 |
| dekroning | Adobe AIR application ask for root privileges when updating them, even though they are in my home directory, anyone know a way around request for root password by adobe air installer? | 22:07 |
| Sheet | thanks | 22:07 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: what is the command you want to run? | 22:07 |
| coz_ | Sheet, also if you instaall ubuntutweak it comes with a handbrake ppa | 22:07 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan a script.... let's called it script.sh | 22:07 |
| coz_ | Sheet, or https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa | 22:07 |
| Sheet | It won't work with Ubuntu version 10.04 | 22:07 |
| Kyuusai-San | hello, anyone know of a mail client that can auto forward in ubuntu | 22:07 |
| Sheet | ? | 22:07 |
| Sheet | It won't work with Ubuntu version 10.04? | 22:07 |
| Scunizi | coz_: cool.. didn't know there was a ppa :) | 22:07 |
| distant2 | the ubuntu UI is very large (icons and text), how is it possible to reduce its size? | 22:08 |
| ubuntuser | how can i restore my flash drive to function properly | 22:08 |
| connermcd | Kyuusai-San why not auto forward server side? | 22:08 |
| coz_ | Scunizi, yeah :) but I prefer the ubuntutweak one for easy installation | 22:08 |
| Jordan_U | noob-tux: First run "dpkg -S /path/to/file" to find out what package the file came from. Then run "debsums packagename" to confirm that all of the files in that package are unaltered. | 22:08 |
| GS_ | I'm using the Gnome session on Ubutnu 10.04 netbook if that helps | 22:08 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: place this in a /etc/init/some_file.conf http://pastebin.com/qgQ7J96V | 22:08 |

| opc0de | hello how to know the default arguments of gcc on ubuntu ? please | 22:09 |
| ikonia | opc0de: what do you mean | 22:09 |
| Scunizi | distant2: do all you're upgrades first.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ... then go to System>Admin>Hardware Drivers and see if there is a driver waiting to be activated for your video card. | 22:09 |
| Sheet | coz_, all 7 packages from https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa ? | 22:09 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan ok, and then ? | 22:09 |
| ubuntuser | does anyone have any idea | 22:09 |
| Kyuusai-San | connermcd i cant do it server side as even though i have access to the email server its a debian mail server and our support company set it up and if i want to ask thell ask to charge for it cba | 22:09 |
| Jordan_U | distant2: System > Preferences > Appearance. Fonts tab. Details button. Resoltion (to change the DPI). | 22:09 |
| coz_ | Sheet, checking hold on | 22:09 |
| Kyuusai-San | just want it to forward from the client workstation | 22:09 |
| opc0de | ikonia ubuntu has set arguments of gcc in default how to know it ? | 22:10 |
| Unresolved | hii | 22:10 |
| ikonia | opc0de: there are no default arguments, you pass the arguments you need | 22:10 |
| coz_ | Sheet, here that link s hows only one package | 22:10 |
| opc0de | no ikonia | 22:10 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: then the script will run at startup | 22:10 |
| opc0de | for exemple -fstack-protector is set in default | 22:10 |
| Unresolved | is it normal for firestarter to open 5 firefox | 22:10 |
| coz_ | Sheet, or you could install ubuntutweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 22:10 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan I don't need to update-rc.d? | 22:10 |
| Unresolved | like 5 connections are on it | 22:10 |
| ikonia | opc0de: thats SSP which is set in a patch | 22:10 |
| opc0de | yes but it's in default | 22:11 |
| ikonia | opc0de: yes, because it's a patch, so you need to override it | 22:11 |
| Unresolved | how much connections in defualt ? | 22:11 |
| Unresolved | huh | 22:11 |
| Jordan_U | distant2: Though like Scunizi I would check if System > Adminstration > Hardware Drivers can get you a better resolution first. | 22:11 |
| opc0de | ... how to know the default argument of gcc set by the patch ? | 22:11 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: yeah, I wasn't trying to fix your problem, I was just telling you how I did it | 22:11 |
| Sheet | installing now coz | 22:12 |
| ikonia | opc0de: check the spec file | 22:12 |
| opc0de | where ? | 22:12 |
| Sheet | now what do I do? | 22:12 |
| ikonia | opc0de: in the source package spec file | 22:12 |
| stnick5 | Okay, so the other day I managed to fix the problem I had been getting with my Ubuntu and Windows 7 laptop. I was having trouble accessing the Windows 7 shares on the Ubuntu laptop, and I fixed it by uninstalling Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Messenger, which is how many people have fixed the problem according to what I found on Google. Today, it has randomly stopped working. I Thought it might be to do with the Games for Windows Live update that instal | 22:12 |
| stnick5 | led through Windows Update, so I uninstalled it. But it's not made any difference. Does anyone else have any suggestions? | 22:12 |
| Sheet | Installed it coz_ what do i do now? | 22:13 |
| stnick5 | The only other changes I've made to each laptop is by installing Mozilla Thunderbird and folding@home on both laptops | 22:13 |
| Sheet | thanks for your help btw | 22:13 |
| opc0de | can you tell me more sorry i'm from gentoo, where i can see the "spec file" ? | 22:13 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan what if the script has args? exec /path/script.sh start | 22:13 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan will that work? | 22:13 |
| coz_ | Sheet, you installed ubuntutweak? | 22:13 |
| Sheet | yes | 22:13 |
| Jordan_U | stnick5: If nobody here answers try #samba. | 22:14 |
| jhutchins_lt | Is there a way to get the bot to show the current kernels? | 22:14 |
| ikonia | opc0de: you don't set the spec file, it patches GCC at build time, you need to override the defaults, ubuntu doesn't work like gentoo with a defaults file | 22:14 |
| coz_ | Sheet, ok go to applications/system tools and open ubuntu tweak | 22:14 |
| vvanker | can someone help with network shares please? | 22:14 |

| Sheet | yeh, i think i did something wrongfirst | 22:19 |
| Sheet | after i left checked the box | 22:19 |
| jo__ | hey everyone, how can I run a script alongside a program by clicking the icon of the program? What command do I have to give in the gnome menu thingy for example thunderbird %u something something | 22:19 |
| Sheet | on handbrake, i cliked refreshed nd installed some crap | 22:19 |
| kish_ | how can i download a source package, compile it and install it ? | 22:20 |
| osteenbergen | vvanker and firestarter did work with the previous setup? | 22:20 |
| Sheet | than i did what you told me | 22:20 |
| vvanker | iptables --flush - no result | 22:20 |
| coz_ | Sheet, well the refresh shouldnt have done anything | 22:20 |
| Scunizi | labuser: dansguardian is one but good for only one computer unless it's setup as the machine everyone else goes through to get to the internet. OpenDNS.com also offers filtering with the only requirement that you change the DNS server references in your router.. and possibly on each windows machine if you have any. | 22:20 |
| vvanker | yeah - I just moved from direct paralell cabel to plugging it into router... | 22:20 |
| coz_ | Sheet, go back into ubuntutweak into source center and make sure you ticked the handbrake ubuntu packagess ppa | 22:20 |
| Dim3n | Hola ? | 22:20 |
| dekroning | is there away to turn of the security dialog asking in Ubuntu ? | 22:20 |
| Sheet | oh | 22:21 |
| osteenbergen | and you changed the rules in firestarter now the IPs have changed? | 22:21 |
| Sheet | i didn't even check that box | 22:21 |
| Scunizi | dekroning: ? you mean when it asks for a password? | 22:21 |
| Sheet | coz_, i didn't even check thatbox | 22:21 |
| dekroning | Scunizi: yes | 22:21 |
| Sheet | that box | 22:21 |
| Unresolved | every time i load a PAGE | 22:21 |
| Scunizi | dekroning: on boot or all the time? | 22:21 |
| Unresolved | i see 3 IP in firestarters | 22:21 |
| dekroning | Scunizi: i know it's a really bad idea | 22:21 |
| Unresolved | always the same | 22:21 |
| dekroning | Scunizi: all the time | 22:21 |
| Unresolved | i think i have spyware | 22:21 |
| coz_ | Sheet, hold on I am getting same error | 22:21 |
| vvanker | I uninstalled "gnome-network manager" "network manager" "firestarter"... | 22:21 |
| vvanker | and re0installed - no joy | 22:22 |
| Scunizi | dekroning: probably but I've never done it.. it's basically booting into admin mode | 22:22 |
| dekroning | Scunizi: yes indeed that is something i need, booting ubuntu into admin mode | 22:22 |
| osteenbergen | so firestarter is running default setup? or didn't you use the purge option while removing? | 22:22 |
| OneSoulLegion | Would anyone have experience getting Ubuntu server installed on an eeebox? | 22:23 |
| stnick5 | Do I need to register with nickserv before I can talk in #samba? | 22:23 |
| stnick5 | Dunno if anyone's hearing me in there or if I'm talking to myself | 22:23 |
| coz_ | Sheet, ok instead open synaptic pakcage manager and hit Search and type in handbrake | 22:23 |
| vvanker | complete removal + .cfg files > reinstalled | 22:23 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan that didn't work for me... I must be doing something wrong | 22:23 |
| tecnico | winXperts: 7 | 22:23 |
| osteenbergen | mkay | 22:23 |
| coz_ | Sheet, there you want to install handbrake-common and handbrake-gtk | 22:23 |
| Scunizi | dekroning: if you don't mind not having a gui then just use the rescue kernel on the grub menu.. it's root by default. other than that I'm not the one to guide you. | 22:23 |
| coz_ | Sheet, if you want the cli also tick that for installation | 22:23 |
| labuser | Scunizi: thanks that was very helpful. | 22:23 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan I have a file called /etc/init.d/test.conf with your start on started tty1 and exec /path/file.sh start | 22:24 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: hmmm, is the conf file +x, that might be it | 22:24 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan the test.conf has 755 permissions -rwxr-xr-x | 22:24 |
| ChogyDan | connermcd: oh, and I think it is /etc/init/ | 22:24 |
| dekroning | Scunizi: I actually need GUI, reason I need this admin mode, is because i'm on a touchscreen system, and I don't want Adobe AIR ask for Administartor password reach time my adobe air application needs an update | 22:24 |
| Sheet | coz_, I don't see it on the list | 22:24 |
| Scunizi | labuser: no problem.. I use opendns because I can control the Pr0n, instant messaging, social sites etc.. | 22:24 |
| coz_ | Sheet, are you in synaptic? | 22:24 |
| PeterNL | What does this mean? "[timestamp] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [apache2:PID]" | 22:24 |
| vvanker | Firestarter doesnt seem to be doing anything - it's not "blocking" connections | 22:25 |
| connermcd | ChogyDan ok I'll try that... thanks | 22:25 |
| Sheet | coz_, synaptic ? | 22:25 |
| jo__ | hey, what command do I have to use to start 2 programs when clicking on a gnome icon | 22:25 |
| dms_ | hello ))) | 22:25 |
| coz_ | Sheet, yes system/administration/synaptic pakcage manager | 22:25 |
| coz_ | Sheet, unless you are using KDE | 22:25 |
| Sheet | i now have that open | 22:26 |
| coz_ | Sheet, did that open? | 22:26 |
| Sheet | yes | 22:26 |
| Scunizi | jo__: I like that question.. perhaps <program 1> && <program 2> | 22:26 |
| coz_ | Sheet, ok hit the Search button and type in handbrake | 22:26 |
| mccoy | I'm a bit of a noob, but I just installed gnustep via sudo apt-get install gnustep "gnustep*" "libgnustep*" and I can't seem to start the program | 22:26 |
| coz_ | Sheet, you can install all three packages that show up | 22:26 |
| Sheet | highlight all 3 ? | 22:26 |
| jo__ | Scunizi: tried that, failed. | 22:26 |
| Sheet | now how do i install? | 22:27 |
| coz_ | Sheet, click the package and mark for installation | 22:27 |
| Sheet | done | 22:27 |
| coz_ | Sheet, ok now hit the Apply button | 22:27 |
| vvanker | anyone point me to networking and shares commands? | 22:27 |
| Scunizi | jo__: perhaps <program 1> & && <program 2> & .. you could try it from alt+f2 | 22:27 |
| osteenbergen | looking for it, long time ago :) | 22:27 |
| Scunizi | !samba | wank | 22:27 |
| ubottu | wank: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:28 |
| Sheet | ok thanks coz_ will let you know when they're done | 22:28 |
| distant2 | Jordan_U: thanks, changing DPI is what i needed. it's great. | 22:28 |
| coz_ | Sheet, ok | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | distant2: You're welcome. | 22:28 |
| Scunizi | vvanker: see ubottu link above.. your nick looks like it starts with a w and not 2 v's | 22:28 |
| vvanker | samba is installed and .cfg is set up | 22:28 |
| Scunizi | vvanker: user mode or share mode? | 22:29 |
| dekroning | Can root login to Gnome perhaps | 22:29 |
| dekroning | ? | 22:29 |
| Jordan_U | jo__: I would create a script which did what you want, and point the launcher to that script. | 22:29 |
| vvanker | share - for testing | 22:29 |
| vvanker | was working in user mode | 22:29 |
| OneSoulLegion | Anyone know how to get Ubuntu Server to install properly from a USB? | 22:29 |
| jo__ | Jordan_U good idea! | 22:30 |
| osteenbergen | vvanker: check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190542 maybe your solution ;) | 22:30 |
| Scunizi | vvanker: samba's been a pain for me in the last 2 releases.. always something.. perhaps in #samba they can give better guidance | 22:30 |
| vvanker | kk | 22:30 |
| Scunizi | OneSoulLegion: define "Properly" | 22:30 |
| mccoy | can anyone recommend a objective c ide? | 22:30 |
| Sheet | coz_, complete | 22:30 |
| OneSoulLegion | As in, having the installer not complain about a missing cd-rom drive? | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | OneSoulLegion: i was thinking the server edition couldent be put on a usb flash drive with unetbootin. | 22:31 |
| vvanker | <Scunizi> xx | 22:31 |
| Scunizi | vvanker: sorry | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | OneSoulLegion: but i do recall one guy doing it in here.. but i dont know what tool he used to make the usb. | 22:31 |
| DasEi | Dr_Willis: can | 22:31 |
| distant2 | Jordan_U: what about icons size, that doesn't change with the font size. they still big | 22:31 |
| vvanker | thanks ;) | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | OneSoulLegion: Are you using unetbootin or Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator"? | 22:31 |
| OneSoulLegion | Dr_Willis: That seems the be the case, certainly... but the machine I need it on doesn't have a cdrom. | 22:31 |
| SlackRat | everything since jaunty installed on a flash usb.......... | 22:31 |
| osteenbergen | mccoy, Eclipse with plugins used to work fine | 22:31 |
| SlackRat | for me anyways | 22:31 |
| OneSoulLegion | I've tried unetbootin and the usb creator that's in the image. | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | OneSoulLegion: It may be that its just Unetbootin that cant handle it properly. | 22:32 |
| distant2 | Jordan_U: my native resolution is 1366*768 and ubuntu is set on that. i don't think i can go beyond that resolution. | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | OneSoulLegion: theres making a grub2 setup on usb that boots that iso that might work. or some other tools at the pendrivelinux website that might work,. | 22:32 |
| Jordan_U | OneSoulLegion: While not ideal, you can contine with the install despite that error (it will just download all the packages from the internet during install). | 22:32 |
| OneSoulLegion | Jordan_U: I'd try that, but it also can't find the network adapters... | 22:33 |
| tarvid | Any reason Quicktime (mov) files render about 5 seconds per frame and mpg files do much better? | 22:33 |
| OneSoulLegion | Dr_Willis: I'll try to dig around the site a bit more. | 22:33 |
| DasEi | OneSoulLegion: I'm pretty sure it works, else use alternate (I just did lucid that way) and get the server-kernel later, if needed | 22:33 |
| mccoy | I've never tried this but I've heard of people using sudo dd if=(location of iso) of=(location of usb mounted) | 22:34 |
| Sheet | coz_, complete | 22:34 |
| OneSoulLegion | DasEi: I'll look into doing it that way. | 22:35 |
| DasEi | mccoy: that won't boot (grub,kaspar) | 22:35 |
| Travis-42 | can anyone point me to a good bluetooth troubleshooting doc? I can't get it to work in 10.04 or 10.10! | 22:35 |
| coz_ | Sheet, ok now open applications / sound and video and handbrake should be there | 22:35 |
| DasEi | mccoy: you can have the iso on cd and do a kickstart install | 22:35 |
| coz_ | Sheet, see it? | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | OneSoulLegion: theres #ubuntu-server (or was it #ubuntuserver) channekl also. | 22:35 |
| Sheet | yes | 22:36 |
| Sheet | thank you co | 22:36 |
| Sheet | coz_, | 22:36 |
| OneSoulLegion | Dr_Willis: Ah, thanks. I'll have a look in there. | 22:36 |
| vvanker | I need to work on this server now: If I set IP to manual and remove the gateway will this block the machine from the www??? | 22:36 |
| coz_ | Sheet, no problem | 22:36 |
| Sheet | i gotta write this down of how to work this | 22:36 |
| FloodBot4 | Sheet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:36 |
| Sheet | how to install | 22:36 |
| jo__ | what does the '%u' mean afther the command in the gnome-menu, for example thunderbird %u | 22:36 |
| PeterNL | I think it stands for URL | 22:36 |
| distant2 | Jordan_U: preferences of file management, for icon size! found it. | 22:36 |
| distant2 | with ubuntu, i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. ^^ | 22:37 |
| GeO` | hey there | 22:37 |
| PeterNL | In the acse of thuderbird, expect something like mailto:some@address.com?subject=someSubject&body=someText | 22:37 |
| coz_ | Sheet, it is already installed just click the shortcut in the menu and it should open | 22:37 |
| PeterNL | case* | 22:37 |
| Sir_Konrad | distant2, hope you love Ubuntu. ;) | 22:37 |
| GeO` | I got an issue, consider I'm a newbie with ubuntu | 22:37 |
| DasEi | GeO`: so ? | 22:38 |
| GeO` | my / partition is 70% filled up. I do a /service apache2 restart and it frees a lot of space, and it's then just 30% filled | 22:38 |
| odd11to67 | has anyone had any issues installing 10.10 involving their monitor? i run the install from the boot menu but the screen goes blank? | 22:38 |
| odd11to67 | any direction would be helpful | 22:38 |
| GeO` | how come ? | 22:38 |
| Travis-42 | I can't seem to enable bluetooth under 10.10 (I also tried 10.04). it works under Vista, XP, and seemed to work under 9.04. any ideas? | 22:38 |
| mun24 | I have asterisk process running and it process files in /var/run/asterisk folder, I am unable to connect to these process files, getting this error Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?) | 22:39 |
| mun24 | any clue | 22:39 |
| mun24 | it could be permission issue | 22:39 |
| DasEi | GeO`: strange, which size has has your root (df -h in terminal) ? | 22:39 |
| GeO` | 9.7G (the used partition) | 22:39 |
| GeO` | mounted on / | 22:39 |
| NetScr1be | trying to make a USB startup disk but the tool complains there is no free space | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | NetScr1be: be sure you select the sda1 partition (or whatver) in the list. not the 'sda' partition. | 22:40 |
| Travis-42 | anyone ever bought canonical's personal desktop support? I'm desperate. | 22:41 |
| DasEi | NetScr1be: which tool ? size of usb ? | 22:41 |
| lidbjork | Anyone besides me getting "Network error" when connecting to ICQ with Empathy? Is there a way to fix that? | 22:41 |
| GeO` | DasEi I ran that before and after a restart : du -hms /* | sort -nr | head | 22:41 |
| DasEi | GeO`: any massive databse on apache ? | 22:41 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, is the bluetooth driver installed? | 22:41 |
| DasEi | GeO`: any massive database* on apache ? | 22:42 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, as far as I know. what package should I need? | 22:42 |
| GeO` | DasEi : yes, ~800MB. The result of the command is there http://nopaste.info/bb415f712d.html | 22:42 |
| osteenbergen | System>Administration>Additional drivers | 22:42 |
| osteenbergen | it should list bluetooth if it needs a driver | 22:42 |
| NetScr1be | tool: usb-creator-gtk USB actually 2GB SD Card | 22:42 |
| GeO` | note that the result is the same before AND after | 22:42 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, no bluetooth is listed there | 22:42 |
| GeO` | tho a lot of space has been freed | 22:42 |
| GeO` | so it's driving me crazy :) | 22:42 |
| NetScr1be | Dr_Willis, I did that thanx | 22:42 |
| DasEi | NetScr1be: trash emptied after deletion ? | 22:43 |
| NetScr1be | formatted the card with the tool still no space | 22:43 |
| NetScr1be | whatdeletion? | 22:43 |
| NetScr1be | what deletion? | 22:43 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, okee and under System>Preferences>Bluetooth you checked the show bluetooth icon? | 22:43 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, yes. the bluetooth icon is showing. | 22:44 |
| DasEi | NetScr1be: I thought of if you just delete files from the usb, space is still "filled" unless you rm it (empty trash) well formatting should do the trick, try again with gparted | 22:44 |
| osteenbergen | and what status does it show? | 22:44 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, it is greyed out. in the preferences it says "bluetooth is disabled". click on "turn on bluetooth" does nothing | 22:45 |
| NetScr1be | deleted partition via fdisk | 22:45 |
| === FreshPrince is now known as baks | ||

| p3rror | is there anyone who have a wireless-n centrino 1000 card | 22:49 |
| p3rror | i can not make this working on my box | 22:50 |
| GeO` | DasEi you got an idea about my problem ? | 22:50 |
| odd11to67 | quit | 22:51 |
| DasEi | GeO`: not really, if all data is stored on the system, and you got least a 1GB free on / that should work | 22:51 |
| NetScr1be | DasEi, smae thing usb-creator-gtk claims there is no free space | 22:51 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, what does the command "hciconfig -a" return? | 22:51 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, it returns nothing | 22:52 |
| DasEi | NetScr1be: worked for me, but I'm using unetbootin for a long time, give it a try, quite similar | 22:52 |
| GeO` | DasEi well at the end of they day 100% of the space is taken | 22:52 |
| amellenico | Ciao a tutti | 22:52 |
| NetScr1be | DasEi, OK | 22:52 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, okee then it is a driver problem. What kind of bluetooth device do you have? | 22:52 |
| DasEi | GeO`: acces from elsewhere ? writeaccess ? | 22:53 |
| GeO` | I don't get what you mean sorry | 22:54 |

| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, it's a Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module | 22:54 |
| DasEi | GeO`: apache is a webserver, and if it fills up, apart from logs, can mean there is something/one writing to it | 22:54 |
| GeO` | but why this does not appear on the nopaste I gave you ? | 22:55 |
| GeO` | and also what would be this data and why are they gone when I restart apache | 22:55 |
| DasEi | GeO`: the paste just shows some output of missing files | 22:56 |
| NetScr1be | DasEi, unetbootin working now | 22:57 |
| NetScr1be | DasEi, <sigh> | 22:57 |
| GeO` | DasEi "1950 /var " is what all the apache stuff takes, isn't it ? | 22:57 |
| NetScr1be | DasEi, will open a bug on usb-creator-gtk | 22:57 |
| DasEi | NetScr1be: boot 'em all ;) | 22:58 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, does "lsusb| grep Bluetooth" show a device? | 22:58 |
| NetScr1be | DasEi, :) | 22:58 |
| DasEi | NetScr1be: logs mainly | 22:58 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, it says: Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) | 22:58 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, okee thats something :) I got the same chip | 23:00 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, heh :-) | 23:00 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, but no Bluetooth HCI device? | 23:00 |

| osteenbergen | Travis-42, try "rfkill list" | 23:03 |
| symbolic | Hello, I'm trying to use APTonCD to install packages (openbox etc.) on a server which is not connected to the internet yet. Using a DVD-RW to do it, but when "sudo apt-cdrom add"-ing the DVD-RW on the machine, it complains that it cannot find packages, because it isn't a debian disk or the wrong architecture... Is it the fact that it is a DVD-RW? Thanks | 23:04 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, comes up with "dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth" "soft blocked: no" "hard blocked: no" | 23:04 |
| Dwade09 | hey guys if i format my hard drive and make part of it ntfs, for windows how do i get the windows xp partition to show up in grub menu or for that matter get the grub menu to show up at all? | 23:05 |
| markrtoon | Hmm... | 23:06 |
| LoganJRuff | symbolic, I am unfamiliar with this issue - but DVD's and CD's are formatted to hold media differently, so I'd assume that might be the issue. | 23:06 |
| markrtoon | Basically, you're just trying to add a entry to the grub bootloader? | 23:06 |
| markrtoon | That's actually a quick easy google away. | 23:06 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, try "sudo service bluetooth status" | 23:07 |
| symbolic | @Logan, APTonCD allows you to select either CD or DVD to create the ISO, so i assume its possible to use DVD, is DVD-R architecture different from DVD-RW? | 23:07 |
| Dwade09 | thanks markrtoon i will look it up i didnt know what it was actually called. | 23:07 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, "bluetooth is not running" | 23:07 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, now try "sudo service bluetooth start" | 23:07 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, displays no messages, and the previous status command says the same things | 23:08 |
| LoganJRuff | symbolic, I am reading on this issue now using Google. DVD-R's and DVD-RW's are formatted to hold media similarly, with the difference being that - by default - RW's don't close on default so you can add more media later. This has created a known issue in stereos (CD's), etc. Do you have a DVD-R? That would definately be the safer option. | 23:09 |
| Hellz_Bellz | hello, ssh isnt lettimg me tunnel | 23:09 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, no message is correct.. but does either the applet or preference application shows that it is working? | 23:09 |
| Hellz_Bellz | i use the -L option and it just gives me the help text | 23:09 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, nope. stays the same | 23:09 |
| Dwade09 | markrtoon, is this the link i would follow? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 23:10 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, then we need to check the log files... | 23:10 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, System>Administration>Log file viewer | 23:10 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, and then the deamon.log | 23:11 |
| osteenbergen | daemon.log* | 23:11 |
| symbolic | Logan, Not at this time, but I will try that tomorrow. When I put the DVD-RW in this machine (the one i am writing you on), ubuntu recognizes it as a dvd with pacakges, that's why im confused it didn't work on the server | 23:11 |

| osteenbergen | Travis-42, it should list some bluetooth information on the bottom of the log | 23:12 |
| bastidrazor | symbolic: possibly, you're using 32bit debs when they should be 64 or vice versa | 23:12 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, in daemon.log I see nothing about bluetooth at the bottom, in the last 30 minutes only messages from networkmanager and dhclient | 23:12 |
| Dwade09 | markrtoon, nono, i want it to let me choose what to boot into, see i dont have windows installed there for no need for grub, if i install windows behind ubuntu i would need grub so is that a guide to follow to get my grub up? | 23:13 |
| symbolic | bastidrazor: aah, yes, let me check, good point | 23:13 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, run the start command again and in the left pane some files should turn bold that something happend | 23:13 |
| symbolic | what is a quick command i can use to see if the machine i am on has 64bit or 32bit ubuntu installed | 23:14 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, the only one that turns bold is auth.log about me using sudo | 23:14 |
| blackshirt | symbolic: uname -a | 23:15 |
| osteenbergen | Travis, great :| | 23:15 |
| markrtoon | Dwade09, AH! Now I get it, you can just install windows alongside ubuntu, and then you'll need to get a software called "EASYBCD" It runs in windows, that way you can add a boot entry in the windows bootloader, and you don't even have to mess with grub. | 23:15 |

| goltoof | symbolic: uname -a | 23:15 |
| bastidrazor | symbolic: uname -a .. look for x86_64 .. if you see that you're on 64bit if not then you are using 32bit | 23:15 |
| Dwade09 | markrtoon, i do not want to mess with easybsd i know about easybsd. | 23:16 |
| shawnboy | anyone know how to modify the OS title of the root Linux partition (handled by Grub 2 10_linux file)? | 23:16 |
| amellenico | Ciao a tutti | 23:16 |
| Guest30685 | can someone help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong in compiling this autoclicker? http://xautoclick.sourceforge.net/documentation.html is what I'm using to help me compile it. | 23:16 |
| shawnboy | I want it to say "Lucid Lynx" or "Maverick Meerkat" instead of Ubuntu Linux 2.6.32-25 | 23:16 |
| markrtoon | Hmm...Ok, then that guide should help ya out, just one question, why no easy bcd? | 23:17 |
| symbolic | thanks, i686, so 32bit, server is also 32 bit, so that's not it... | 23:17 |
| symbolic | bastidrazor et al: some background... basically i am creating this "APTonCD" dvd-rw on a 32 bit machine that has internet, picking packages from that system which i need on the server, then burning it and trying to load it as a repository on the server | 23:20 |
| osteenbergen | Travis-42, last hope try "sudo hciconfig hci0 reset" | 23:21 |

| Diverdude | If i want to set readaccess for everybody on a folder and all its files,do i then do cd thefolder and then chmod 777 . ? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | jhutchins_lt: open the package manager and search for "linux-image" it will show the packages | 23:22 |
| pietro10 | ok... | 23:22 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, it doesn't reappear and it says "Can't get device info: No such device". | 23:22 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, oh well :/ thanks for your help | 23:22 |
| shcherbak | Diverdude: yer 777, but you would rather want add specific group (better security) | 23:24 |
| Travis-42 | osteenbergen, I'm going to try some other things. thanks for your help | 23:25 |
| brentoids | I currently reboot my machine everytime my wifi card stops working. I've played with drivers, but no luck. Is there an easier method to simulate a reboot of the networking modules? | 23:25 |
| jhutchins_lt | ikonia: Yes, but the packages it shows will be for the distribution I'm actually running, not for ubuntu. | 23:25 |

| dutchgirl | i'm in need of assistance. I'm trying to get my ssh working again both boxes are 10.10. i cannot get the 2nd box to allow me to connect. as soon as it connects it kicks me off. can someone please help me. | 23:36 |
| shcherbak | dutchgirl: firewall? | 23:37 |
| dutchgirl | not that i know of unless its internal | 23:37 |
| pietro10_ | dutchgirl: how does it fail? | 23:37 |
| dutchgirl | i just finished installing | 23:37 |
| dutchgirl | mythbuntu prior to the reinstall the ssh worked great | 23:37 |
| dutchgirl | no, not so much | 23:38 |
| pietro10_ | or rather | 23:38 |
| dutchgirl | connection closed connection to host 192.168.3.4 was closed | 23:38 |
| pietro10_ | WHY DOES JACK WANT ME TO REMOVE PORTAUDIO | 23:38 |
| songer | pietro10_: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. | 23:38 |
| pietro10_ | seriously, I'm sick of seeing that | 23:38 |
| pietro10_ | ... | 23:39 |
| pietro10_ | unless jack can't work with portaudio? if that's the case than it's stupid | 23:39 |
| ikonia | pietro10_: I don't need to see your caps lock rant | 23:39 |
| pietro10_ | (my software uses portaudio) | 23:39 |
| dutchgirl | thats all it says | 23:39 |
| shcherbak | dutchgirl: can you run shh -vvvvvv <failing connection> and post it somewhere? | 23:39 |
| pietro10_ | bah, you can't say anything on freenode without people forgetting your original question... | 23:39 |
| dutchgirl | so, to remedy the situation i accidently deleatd the ssh info file in the folder to hope to start over | 23:40 |
| dutchgirl | and now im lost | 23:40 |
| AR_ | how do i make ubuntu not be slow as dongs | 23:40 |
| dutchgirl | ive tried searching on how to recreate and no luck | 23:40 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | for the SSH problem, I got the same trouble. My solution : Re-install from synaptic and then re-install (apt://openssh-server) ... then rebot... ^^ | 23:40 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | oups unistal | 23:41 |
| ikonia | AR_: you can start by explaining your question in a clear manner | 23:41 |
| shcherbak | dutchgirl: what file? | 23:41 |
| dutchgirl | so remove ssh reinstall then reboot right? | 23:41 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | don't "re-install" * Kick it | 23:41 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | and then re-install | 23:41 |
| dutchgirl | how do i kick it? | 23:41 |
| AR_ | ikonia, for instance, sometimes loading a website in a new tab in firefox takes forever, firefox starts to hang, etc | 23:41 |
| ikonia | AR_: is it just firefox, or other applications too ? | 23:42 |
| AR_ | ikonia, sometimes xchat also is pretty slow | 23:42 |
| AR_ | firefox is slowest though | 23:42 |
| ikonia | AR_: any non-internet applications ? | 23:42 |
| AR_ | it isnt internet related | 23:42 |
| ikonia | how do you know ? | 23:43 |
| osteenbergen | -h | 23:43 |
| AR_ | ikonia, because i know my internet | 23:43 |
| ohir | AR_: you may try to use adblock + noscript plugins. Turn on your ABE to block access to rogue sites | 23:43 |
| AR_ | it isnt the loading of the site that takes long | 23:43 |
| AR_ | it is switching tabs and stuff too | 23:43 |
| ikonia | AR_: how do you know ? | 23:43 |
| AR_ | because i fucking tried | 23:43 |
| ikonia | AR_: drop the language | 23:43 |
| AR_ | yes mom | 23:44 |
| ikonia | AR_: you tried what ?, hence why I'm asking what non-internet applications are lagging | 23:44 |
| AR_ | the whole system lags | 23:44 |
| ohir | AR_: how many GiG of RAM you have, how many tabs you open at once? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | AR_: that's not wha tyou said at the start | 23:44 |

| Aer | Hi, I was wondering if anyone here Can give me a hand im still new to this and havent had to do this yet but, im unsure of how to compile or whatever it is i need to do for a tar.gz program i have downloaded to get it installed | 23:47 |
| vincenzino | hello i've installed VirtualBox (not OSE) on maverick, but all usb devices grey, so i can't access to them | 23:47 |
| Aer | is there anyone who could walk me through or point me in the right direction to get started please :) | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | Aer: In most cases you don't want to install from a tar.gz. What are you trying to install specifically? | 23:48 |
| Aer | i downloaded qBittorent | 23:48 |
| Aer | it says its the source tarball on the download page | 23:48 |
| Aer | but i have no idea what to do with it :( | 23:49 |
| ohir | AR_: thats not a lot | 23:49 |
| ohir | AR_: and its a cause of your system being sluggish | 23:50 |
| ohir | AR_: you may either upgrade with next 512M of RAM or switch to much lighter xubuntu flavor | 23:50 |
| Aer | anyone mind giving me a hand with installing a source tarball program please ? | 23:51 |
| shcherbak | AR_: what version are you running? | 23:51 |
| ohir | AR_: for now you just should be careful how many apps (and ff tabs) you open at once | 23:51 |
| Aer | its my first time im not so sure what to do | 23:51 |
| ikonia | Aer: what do you want to install? | 23:52 |
| AR_ | shcherbak, 10.10 | 23:52 |
| cwillu_at_work | AR_, might try chromium, but if you're running short on ram (which you probably are with 512mb), you're going to be tight | 23:52 |
| ohir | Aer: after unpacking tarball you should find in created dir file named INSTALL or README | 23:52 |
| Aer | qbittorrent | 23:52 |
| ohir | Aer: there are detailed instructions how to configure/compile | 23:52 |
| === mtx_init is now known as jimmy_the_grunt | ||
| ikonia | Aer: that's in the ubuntu repos | 23:52 |
| Aer | i followed the readme but i ran into some errors | 23:53 |
| cwillu_at_work | AR_, if you keep lots of tabs open, take a look at the "bartab" firefox extension. It unloads tabs you haven't looked at in a while in a transparent way, which will help | 23:53 |
| Aer | the one in the ubuntu repos is outdated | 23:53 |

| Aer | i just prefer the software i use to be up to date :/ | 23:53 |
| jacknibb | hello. i need someones undivided attn. it's about wireless usb adapter | 23:53 |
| ohir | Aer: tar -zxf tarball.tgz will unpack it | 23:53 |
| ikonia | Aer: what's in the later version that you need or want | 23:53 |

| shcherbak | Aer: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-tarballs/ all in limited to 4 commands (if smooth) or dependency issues (thats why we use .deb) | 23:53 |
| boch | good night, can someone help me, i cant run any kind of binary that is not installed from the reps, neither run script this way: ./script.sh. I have to run them like this: bash script.sh. Neither tab completes my binaries or scripts, like it does not detects them as executables (it is not a permission issue, also tried everything) | 23:53 |
| jacknibb | any help will do | 23:54 |
| Aer | im not sure but like i said i just prefer the software i use to be up to date, they wouldnt make a new version if there was nothing better in it e.g. bug fix or better ui etc | 23:54 |
| ste | ciao | 23:54 |
| tucemiux | boch, chmod +x script.sh | 23:54 |
| ste | |list | 23:54 |
| ikonia | Aer: then you have no idea what you're saying if you want a later version for no rason | 23:54 |
| ikonia | reason | 23:54 |
| Aer | well its not for no reason really... they make upates for reasons ? | 23:54 |
| Aer | not cus they are bored | 23:54 |
| jacknibb | gotta start high. my internal wireless card went out. so i bought a wireless usb adapter, but don't know how to install it | 23:55 |
| shcherbak | AR_: You have very low spec for 10.10 (ram) use lighter software (links2 irrsi) | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Aer: I strongly suggest using the ubuntu version, it's stable and compiled for you, plus you won't have the pain of QT lib dependencies | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Aer: the updates could be for distros like redhat, which as your not using, won't matter as an example | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Aer: the people who package for ubuntu put time into using the best version for your distro, I suggest you trust them | 23:55 |
| AR_ | shcherbak, that's ridiculous for a linux system | 23:55 |
| jacknibb | any ideas | 23:55 |
| d3vi1d06 | aer: new versions could be beta, and unstable | 23:55 |
| ohir | Aer: brand new version of software can contain brand new bugs. So its wise to wait until more experienced users will find and report them ;) | 23:56 |
| AR_ | i thought 10.10 was going to save ubuntu | 23:56 |
| AR_ | i guess not | 23:56 |
| Aer | hmm but i was told in this chat before that the software in my "ubuntu software centre" never gets updated only when i upgrade my Ubuntu to the new distro then my software will be updated with it | 23:56 |
| MrDudle | uh that sounds wrong Aer | 23:56 |
| ohir | Aer: someone lied to you | 23:56 |
| ikonia | Aer: the version that is latest, may be incmpatible with ubuntu deps, so again, trust the packages, you've said you have no need for th later version beyond "you want it" | 23:56 |
| Percius | Can someone please explain to me exactly what happened with LIRC, and the new kernel. My device is detected by the new kernel, but I don't know how to program universal remote codes for it. | 23:56 |
| MrDudle | very very wrong | 23:56 |
| Aer | hmm ok | 23:56 |
| ohir | Aer: every day there are updated versions of software | 23:56 |
| Aer | quick question then if you dont mind ? | 23:57 |
| shcherbak | AR_: nope, just for some applications, i run ubuntu on weaker machines just fine | 23:57 |
| MrDudle | don't ask to ask just ask | 23:57 |
| ikonia | Aer: please. | 23:57 |
| Aer | becuase im confused about the software for ubuntu with these versions :s | 23:57 |
| jacknibb | how do i install the new wireless usb adapter | 23:57 |
| Spaztic_One | Hey, I need assistance connecting my 10.10.laptop with my winxp desktop via ethernet cable | 23:57 |
| MrDudle | aehow so? | 23:57 |
| MrDudle | Aer: how so* | 23:57 |
| ikonia | Aer: here to help, so go for it | 23:57 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | jackcr, I install many "usb wirless card", and allway, without reboot, Ubuntu detect the card and show my wirless netwrk... Check if you blacklisted some driver when you install your internal card or if you have NDiswarper installed :) | 23:57 |
| Aer | when i load up the ubuntu software centre | 23:57 |
| Aer | and if i install programs from there, will the programs i installed from there be updated with my update manager when new stable versions are released ? | 23:58 |
| jacknibb | but how | 23:58 |
| ikonia | Aer: when the ubuntu developers package updates/later versions, they will get updated on your system | 23:58 |
| jacknibb | my internal wireless just don't work, so i bought the usb | 23:58 |
| Aer | so i dont need to upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 10.10 to get newer software lists ? | 23:58 |
| Aer | *versions | 23:58 |
| goltoof | any way to get more visuals for mplayer? | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Aer: depends, some versions will not be back ported, others will, it's very much package dependant | 23:59 |
| ikonia | dependent | 23:59 |
| jacknibb | and where is this blacklist u mentioned | 23:59 |
