| Aer | hmm ok, becuase I use a program called "emesene" and the latest stable version of that is 1.6.3 it had a major bug fix fromt he previous version 1.6.1 apparently | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Aer | but in my ubuntu software list i only get the old one 1.6.1 | 00:00 |
| MrDudle | Aer: if the developer of the software doesn't update it | 00:00 |
| Aer | i had to download the new version manually | 00:00 |
| nimbiotics | hello all. I installed java under wine in order to play spades on yahoo but as soon as I go to yahoo firefox just freezes. Am I doing something wrong? is this possible to do? TIA | 00:00 |
| MrDudle | and submit the new one to the repos | 00:00 |
| MrDudle | it wont' show up as new | 00:00 |
| ikonia | Aer: possibly because it's not been packaged or wont be packaged, what is the bug fix ? | 00:00 |
| Aer | there was a bug in the old version where the transfer speeds of sending files was limited to 5kb/s | 00:00 |
| Aer | the new version fixed that so you could send/receive files at faster speeds | 00:01 |
| * MrDudle giggles | 00:01 | |
| MrDudle | Aer: the developer probably didn't repackage it for the repos | 00:01 |
| ikonia | Aer: if you look on the new version on their website, they call it "unstable" for ubuntu, so it won't be packaged unless it's stable | 00:01 |
| MrDudle | so only the 1.6.1 is there | 00:01 |
| Aer | i thought 2.0 was unstable ? | 00:01 |
| william | Does anyone know what you put in for port number when you are trying to setup a new IRC connection? | 00:01 |
| Aer | the beta one | 00:01 |
| ikonia | !info emsene | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Package emsene does not exist in maverick | 00:01 |
| ikonia | Aer: !info emesene | 00:01 |
| ikonia | oops | 00:01 |
| MrDudle | william: 6667 is common | 00:02 |
| ikonia | !info emesene | 00:02 |
| ubottu | emesene (source: emesene): platform independent MSN Messenger client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.3-1 (maverick), package size 2647 kB, installed size 7904 kB | 00:02 |
| ikonia | !info emesene | 00:02 |
| ikonia | Aer: in ubuntu 10.10 1.6.3 is released | 00:02 |
| Percius | Anyone available to explain how to use the new kernel drivers instead of LIRC? | 00:02 |
| Aer | hmm so howcome that version isnt available as an update on my 10.04 system ? :s is it becuase the developer hasnt repacjaged it for 10.04 only for 10.10 ? | 00:03 |
| ikonia | Percius: drivers are "drivers" lirc is control software, they are different things | 00:03 |
| ikonia | Percius: using one "instead" of the other doesn't seem right | 00:03 |
| Aer | sorry if im getting annoying but im still new to linux | 00:03 |
| ikonia | Aer: it's not been backported, | 00:03 |
| Aer | ahh ok | 00:03 |
| IdleOne | it's not been backported, yet | 00:03 |
| ikonia | Aer: it maybe, it may not be, log a request for it on launchpad.net | 00:03 |
| MrDudle | Aer: is all good better you ask and get the right info then not ask and give out bad info | 00:03 |
| Aer | so the software in my ubuntu software centre depends on the developers if when they make a new version they package it for 10.04 as well as 10.10 ? | 00:04 |
| Percius | Ikonia, as I understand it in the new kernel there is a module to replace the LIRC module built in. It makes the devices show up as Xinput, My ir receiver does indeed show up as that, but I don;t know how to set the scan codes | 00:04 |
| Aer | becuase i dont think ive seen one update for any of my software apart from firefox yet lol | 00:04 |
| ikonia | Percius: you may be right, but that's not how I understood it | 00:04 |
| Aer | unless i do manually | 00:04 |
| ikonia | Aer: correct | 00:04 |
| Aer | hmm ok, thanks starting to understand a bit more now :) | 00:05 |
| ikonia | Aer: it depends on what gets updated/when | 00:05 |
| Percius | Ikonia, I have been trying to understand it. Everyone says somthing different and I cant get anything to work | 00:05 |
| Aer | yeah | 00:05 |
| Percius | I had it working on the old module just fine | 00:05 |
| Spaztic_One_ | Also, I get "failed to retrieve share list from server" when trying to access other computers on my wlan. | 00:05 |
| Aer | i was under the impression i had to upgrade my distro each time a new one was available to get new software versions lol | 00:05 |
| LjL | Aer: eh, it's more or less like that | 00:06 |
| Aer | huh :s i was just told it wasnt lol XD | 00:06 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | Percius, you can force a "downgrade installation" if the older was working fine.. in synaptic | 00:06 |
| konni | hello people .. I have one question .. I'm running 10.04 LTS ony me server with kernel 2.6.32-35 64 bit.. I'm looking for a safe way to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35 without compiling it myself .. | 00:06 |
| konni | I know about the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa PPA .. but I'm not sure that it contains the server edition of the kernel | 00:06 |
| LjL | Aer: Ubuntu doesn't update packages to bring you new features (versions). it updates them to bring serious bug and security fixes, though. then there is backports, which provides unsupported updates for a select number of things. | 00:06 |
| konni | can anyone tell me if adding the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa PPA to my sources list will upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35 server version or will i get the standard desktop version of the kernel ? | 00:06 |
| ikonia | konni: why do you need to upgrade | 00:06 |
| shcherbak | Aer: you dont have to but with EOL you will lose official support | 00:07 |
| Percius | LeGrand, I can use 10.04 and not have issues, but I am trying to figure out the new kernel mode. | 00:07 |
| T0X|C | is my Atari 520ST ubuntu compatible? | 00:07 |
| Aer | hmm LjL, so your saying my software in my Ubuntu Software centre will only get updated if there is a fix for a serious security bug ? | 00:07 |
| konni | because my dvb-t TV card does only work with the 2.6.35 kernel which i use to broadcast tv channels via mumudvb to my network | 00:07 |
| ikonia | T0X|C: please don't be silly | 00:07 |
| Aer | shcherbak, EOL ? :s | 00:08 |
| shcherbak | end of life | 00:08 |
| Aer | oh | 00:08 |
| Aer | 10.04 is still going though it has 3 yrs support right ? | 00:08 |
| LjL | Aer: yes, although i guess it's possible (don't quote me on this) for particularly high-profile packages such as Firefox to get updates if the high sphere deem it worth it. but generally speaking, unless there's a backport, you aren't getting a new version of things. | 00:08 |
| Aer | oh :( thats what bothers me lol i cant get automatic updates :( | 00:08 |
| LeGrand_22Qc | Percius, oh ok. Then I can't help... ^^ | 00:08 |
| Aer | unles si do it manually | 00:09 |
| ikonia | konni: what card is it ? | 00:09 |
| LjL | Aer, most of the time though, latest does not equal better. | 00:09 |
| konni | HVR-1700 pci-ex | 00:09 |
| Percius | LeGrand, Thanks for trying. My ir card is detected so I would like to "Do it right" | 00:09 |
| shcherbak | Aer: nope, you have to find new repos. what wersion? | 00:09 |
| Aer | true, but i like keeping my software i use up to date lol using ht elatest stable releases :P | 00:09 |
| shcherbak | *version* | 00:09 |
| konni | the tuning functionality is broken with the current kernel .. but works on my desktop machine running 10.10 | 00:10 |
| Aer | version of what shcherbak ? | 00:10 |
| Aer | my ubuntu distro or ? | 00:10 |
| ikonia | konni: I'm showing support in 2.6.29 | 00:10 |
| 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) | 00:10 |
| emerson_ | how shall I install the compile for pascal? | 00:10 |
| shcherbak | ubuntu, Aer | 00:10 |
| Aer | im using 10.04 LTS | 00:10 |
| LjL | Aer: then you might want to pick a so-called "rolling release" distribution, one where there aren't big releases every 6 months as such, but everything gets updated smoothly. of course, you will pay that in terms of stability. | 00:10 |
| Aer | im sure i read 10.04 LTS will be supported for 3 yrs | 00:10 |
| LjL | Aer: yes, LTS does mean that | 00:10 |
| LjL | Aer: it will receive security and bug fixes for 3 years - 5 for the server packages | 00:11 |
| Spaztic_One_ | More specifically, I only get the "failed to retrieve share list from server" when attempting to connect to my desktop, but not the other one on the network (mother's, not the one I want) Why is this? I assume it has something to do with my desktop being windows... Also, for when my wifi is getting interference and slowing down, would someone help me set up for a direct connection via ethernet? | 00:11 |
| djGentoo | Can anyone tell me what files are in their /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d? I'm trying to figure out how to fix my boot sequence. | 00:11 |
| Aer | LjL i tried one of them on my laptop the other day, tried arch linux, didnt go well lol XD im not good enough with linux yet :( i got it all up and running perfect but couldnt get my wireless workign on it :/ | 00:11 |
| shcherbak | Aer: I am not sure our discussion serve the purpose... | 00:11 |
| konni | yes .. but after alot of investigation and googling around .. ppl are saying the kernel 2.6.32 breaks the tuning functionality on the card | 00:11 |
| Aer | huh ? | 00:11 |
| LjL | Aer: then i suggest you stay on Ubuntu for a while if it works well enough for you, and at least for the time being, forget about having the latest stuff. later on you can switch to something else better suited to your tastes. | 00:11 |
| konni | ikonia: and I've verified it works with 10.10. on my other machine | 00:12 |
| shcherbak | boch: $PATH? | 00:12 |
| Aer | yeah i switched my laptop back to ubuntu after 2 days of not being able to get my wireless working lol | 00:12 |
| boch | shcherbak, neither, even i call with absolute path and says permission denied | 00:12 |
| ikonia | konni: I'd upgrade the release then | 00:12 |
| LjL | Aer: keep in mind that if at some point you really want the latest version of something important, there usually are unofficial, unsupported and possibly broken repositories (mostly PPA, "personal package archives" on launchpad) with that software. | 00:12 |
| Aer | i dont mind not being able to update my programs automatically so much its just a little annoying when i dont know how to do it manually becuase im unsure of what to do with the source tarball sometimes :/ | 00:12 |
| konni | although my other machine is running 32 bit instead of 64 bit .. but i'm pretty sure its a kernel issue .. as with the hvr-3000 and hvr-4000 cards | 00:13 |
| Aer | yeah ive used a PPA and its worked good for me so far :) used a PPA for my nvidia graphics card driver | 00:13 |
| LjL | Aer: it's best not to touch the source tarballs at all if possible, but rather hunt for packages. often enough those do exist. | 00:13 |
| shcherbak | boch: chmod 744 <giveuserrighttoexecute> | 00:13 |
| iRabbit | How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? | 00:13 |
| Aer | hmm liek a .deb file ? instead of a tarball ? | 00:13 |
| LjL | Aer: actually, using a PPA for the graphics driver is often a terrible idea :P i'd stick to the default ones. | 00:13 |
| ikonia | Aer: I really would not be using ppa's for things like nvidia | 00:13 |
| Aer | oh ok XD | 00:13 |
| konni | ikonia: I'd really want to stick with a LTS release on that server .. is there no other option upgrading the kernel than to update my server to 10.10. ? | 00:14 |
| LjL | Aer: a .deb file will do, but you need to pay attention that it's actually a .deb file for your Ubuntu version (and not for another version, or for Debian, as that can cause trouble) | 00:14 |
| Aer | in my defence i didnt know, i havent long been tryign to make the switch from windows to linux | 00:14 |
| Aer | ohh ok | 00:14 |
| ikonia | konni: I wouldn't due to headers/abi personally | 00:14 |
| LjL | Aer, generally speaking, as long as you get third-party packages for *end-user software*, that doesn't tend to cause trouble, but you should leave libraries, drivers and things like that alone. | 00:14 |
| boch | fseratti@pensacola:~$ chmod 744 test.sh | 00:14 |
| boch | fseratti@pensacola:~$ ./test.sh | 00:14 |
| boch | bash: ./test.sh: Permission denied | 00:14 |
| boch | fseratti@pensacola:~$ | 00:14 |
| FloodBot4 | boch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:15 |
| Aer | ok | 00:15 |
| ikonia | boch: use sudo | 00:15 |
| ikonia | boch: I suggest you read https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics of using ubuntu | 00:15 |
| konni | ikonia: i c .. when can one expect the 2.6.35 kernel to be available via the upstream channel ? | 00:15 |
| ikonia | konni: I wouldn't expect it at all | 00:15 |
| konni | damn | 00:15 |
| Aer | thanks for all the info though guys :) and sorry if ive annoyed anyone with noob questions xD still not sure of certain things with linux :P I will get it right one day ;D | 00:15 |
| iRabbit | Hello, How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? | 00:16 |
| streamex | Guys, did anyone experienced ICQ issues in Empathy? Please PM me. | 00:16 |
| nimbiotics | hello all. I installed java under wine in order to play spades on yahoo but as soon as I go to yahoo firefox just freezes. Am I doing something wrong? is this possible to do? TIA | 00:16 |
| LjL | boch: if you want to make test.sh executable for someone else than its owner, 744 won't do. who's the owner? "ls -l test.sh" will tell you | 00:16 |
| boch | ikonia, i use linux for more than 8 years, this is weird, reminds me when broking libc and binary files werent detected as well. this is a fresh ubuntu 10.10 installation | 00:16 |
| boch | LjL, im the owner | 00:17 |
| shcherbak | but bash test.sh works? | 00:17 |
| ikonia | check the shebang | 00:17 |
| konni | ikonia: here is my post on the forums .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1623304 ..unfortunately i have not received any reply .( | 00:17 |
| Aer | although i got one last question if its ok it jumps back to my original question, about installing a tarball, i downloaded it for the new version of qbittorrent and i read the readme file and it says i need to do ./configure but i get a message "Verifying Qt 4 build environment ... fail" | 00:18 |
| Aer | Reason: Unable to find the 'qmake' tool for Qt 4 | 00:18 |
| ikonia | Aer: I wouldn't do it | 00:18 |
| Aer | hmm ok :( | 00:18 |
| ikonia | Aer: if you've listened to what's been said you are making a bad call | 00:18 |
| LBaroudi | hello everyone | 00:18 |
| ikonia | Aer: you have no reason to get the "later" version beyond it having a bigger number | 00:19 |
| ikonia | Aer: you've aready said you are new and don't know what you're doing, so why not follow advice ? | 00:19 |
| shcherbak | boch: does sh test.sh works? | 00:19 |
| LjL | Aer, do you really absolutely need the latest version of qbittorrent? | 00:19 |
| Aer | im gonna follow it, i was just curious becuase when i last tried to do it thats wher ei got stopped | 00:19 |
| Aer | im just curious why that happens xD | 00:19 |
| LBaroudi | have anyone tried compiling ubuntu from src code ? I need hint plz | 00:20 |
| LoganJRuff | LjL, everyone knows the shiny new thing is the one that should be in the repos =P | 00:20 |
| totem | hi, i need bring back my grub2 for ubuntu10.10 64 bit. please give me the link for that. | 00:20 |
| LjL | Aer, you probably needed to install qt4-qmake | 00:20 |
| boch | shcherbak, works pretty fine | 00:20 |
| djGentoo | Can anyone tell me what files are in their /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d? I'm trying to figure out how to fix my boot sequence. It hangs after a certain phase, and I'm trying to think of what happens after it. | 00:20 |
| Aer | and would like to know how to do this type of stuff for future reference i can use linux fine with gui but id like to know how to do all the command line stuff in terminal to :P | 00:20 |
| Aer | hmm ok | 00:20 |
| boch | shcherbak, this is weid, because even tab completion wont complete the script name, despite i have rights to execute... | 00:20 |
| ikonia | Aer: you shouldn't beed to know | 00:20 |
| iRabbit | How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? | 00:20 |
| ikonia | Aer: there is very little reason to compile software | 00:20 |
| Aer | ill leave it for now though and use the easy one from the software centre lol | 00:20 |
| LjL | LBaroudi, the *whole* of Ubuntu from source code? why on *earth* would you do that? | 00:20 |
| streamex | DID ANYONE SOLVE ICQ ISSUE IN EMPATHY CLIENT? | 00:21 |

| LjL | songer, no bots/scripts here please | 00:21 |
| LoganJRuff | !caps | streamex also try #empathy | 00:21 |
| ubottu | streamex also try #empathy: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 00:21 |
| shcherbak | boch: hm, first think comes to me is bashrc, but.... | 00:21 |
| LBaroudi | LJ I just love it and want to do that deep | 00:21 |
| Aer | hmm but im an IT guy lol XD i can use windows np and do all the advanced stuff etc went to college and uni etc and now looking for a job in computers but i have seen a few good jobs working with linux but i need to get better with it before i even think about applying to a job using linux lol | 00:21 |
| LoganJRuff | LBaroudi, you love Ubuntu so much you want to compile the whole thing from source? | 00:22 |
| LjL | LBaroudi: well this is probably not the best channel to ask that anyway, try #ubuntu-offtopic or something | 00:22 |
| Aer | so ive installed ubuntu and trying to get as good on linux as i am with windows :P | 00:22 |
| LoganJRuff | o.O | 00:22 |
| streamex | ikonia, at least NOW you noticed. | 00:22 |
| iRabbit | How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? | 00:22 |
| ikonia | Aer: then you will soon learn that you don't have to compile stuff | 00:22 |
| i_is_broke | does wine run ie? | 00:22 |
| ikonia | streamex: yes, but I'm ignoring the question due to your caps | 00:22 |
| Aer | hmm ok | 00:22 |
| boch | shcherbak, should not be, i should be able to exec any binary, with relative or absolute path | 00:22 |
| LoganJRuff | Aer, why would you settle for only a level of Windows competency when there's so much more potential here? | 00:22 |
| LBaroudi | lol thank you guys I wana do that because its there why not trying it | 00:22 |
| Aer | huh ? what you mean LoganJRuff ? :s | 00:23 |
| streamex | ikonia, i asked before with lower case. nobody noticed. | 00:23 |
| LoganJRuff | LBaroudi, the source code isn't really there for that... | 00:23 |
| ikonia | streamex: they did, - they just didn't know the answer, | 00:23 |
| iRabbit | How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? | 00:23 |
| LBaroudi | wow why is it for then dear ? | 00:23 |
| ikonia | iRabbit: stop asking every 5 seconds, try #winehq if you're not getting the answer you want | 00:23 |
| Aer | ikonia you dont think compiling stuff would be needed in a work environment then ? | 00:23 |
| LoganJRuff | Aer, There's a lot more potential in a *nix box than a windows box. Why settle only for a level of competency comparable to Windows when you can do so much more? | 00:23 |
| LBaroudi | i mean what else can someone do with src code | 00:23 |
| ikonia | Aer: no | 00:23 |
| LjL | THIS IS A TEST | 00:23 |
| streamex | ikonia, i asked if somebody solved the issue of ICQ protocol in empathy, the answer is YES or NO. | 00:23 |
| songer | LjL: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. | 00:23 |
| LjL | ikonia: ^ | 00:23 |
| iRabbit | ikonia: Thank you | 00:23 |
| Aer | ok | 00:24 |
| streamex | ikonia, i dont think it's hard to type 2 or 3 letters | 00:24 |
| LoganJRuff | LBaroudi, it's there for reference, patching, etc. | 00:24 |
| ikonia | streamex: 1400 people typing "no" - not good | 00:24 |
| neiliob1973 | need advice...looking to buy hi-def camcorder...must be able to stream in Ubuntu | 00:24 |
| ikonia | streamex: if someone knows, they will type the letters | 00:24 |
| ikonia | neiliob1973: look for one with linux support then | 00:24 |
| Aer | hmm cus i know pretty much what i need with windows now for a decent to good job in computers using windows | 00:24 |
| LBaroudi | logan thanks but it can also be for it cant it ? i am surprized no one can compile it | 00:25 |
| LoganJRuff | You either reference it when building packages, patches, etc or you compile bits of it at a time to suit specific needs. No one just grabs the lot of it and compiles the whole thing into a working system just for giggles. | 00:25 |
| Aer | but im trying to get a job nearer to my gf so we can move in together but most of the IT jobs round there are linux based, the good ones atleast so im trying to get as pro with linux as i am with windows | 00:25 |
| ikonia | Aer: this channels just for support, try to keep to that topic please. | 00:25 |
| Aer | just think it would be good career wise to be pro with more than one operating system | 00:25 |
| neiliob1973 | ikonia, how profound...do u know of a brand that does? | 00:25 |
| * LjL points Aer to #ubuntu-offtopic :P | 00:25 | |
| emerson_ | how do I install free pascal? | 00:25 |
| Aer | sorry >.< was just answerign soemoens question | 00:25 |
| ikonia | neiliob1973: no | 00:25 |
| LoganJRuff | LBaroudi, we're not saying "No one can compile it", it can be there for that too - but it's impractical and a waste of a good hacker's time. Why not express your love for Ubuntu by helping out building packages, patches, working on pre-release candidates, etc? | 00:25 |
| LjL | emerson_: sudo apt-get install fp-compiler | 00:26 |
| streamex | ikonia, nvm | 00:26 |
| streamex | ikonia, thx anyway | 00:26 |
| der | hola | 00:26 |
| LjL | emerson_: or perhaps you want fp-ide. try "apt-cache search free pascal" for a list of related packages | 00:26 |

| LBaroudi | logan when i go from code I can do something then I even donet know how to compile not at all | 00:27 |
| LoganJRuff | Aer, always a pleasure! Welcome to Linux, Ubuntu, and the FOSS movement. =) | 00:27 |
| emerson_ | LjL: Thanks .... | 00:27 |
| nimbiotics | hello all. I installed java under wine in order to play spades on yahoo but as soon as I go to yahoo firefox just freezes. Am I doing something wrong? is this possible to do? TIA | 00:27 |
| iRabbit | what is the Linux equivalent command for "tracert"? | 00:27 |
| LoganJRuff | LBaroudi, what's your first language? | 00:27 |
| Aer | 'free open source software' right ? ;D | 00:27 |
| LjL | iRabbit: i think "tracepath" is the one installed by default these days | 00:28 |

| BedMan | iRabbit: fsck | 00:31 |
| LoganJRuff | Aer, we don't believe in "n00b" questions here. If you don't know the answer, then it's not a stupid question. =D | 00:31 |
| iRabbit | BedMan: Thank you very much | 00:31 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, did you want a command-line tool or a point and click tool? and did you want to check the filesystem, or check the disk itself? | 00:31 |
| Aer | lol ok :D thanks :P | 00:31 |
| cwillu | (fsck only checks the filesystem) | 00:31 |
| Aer | cya :) | 00:31 |
| LoganJRuff | cwillu, fsck doesn't check my monitor status ? *gasp* =O | 00:31 |
| LoganJRuff | Later Aer | 00:31 |
| iRabbit | cwillu: whatever the windows equivalent to a full scan disk is | 00:31 |
| cwillu | LoganJRuff, scandisk does both disk and filesystem | 00:32 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, system menu -> administration -> disk utility | 00:32 |
| A_New_Server | How can I get my bars at the top and bottom to go back to the default? | 00:32 |

| LoganJRuff | cwillu, I was joking. =P | 00:32 |
| LjL | !info dv4l | neiliob1973, perhaps this program could be of help | 00:32 |

| ubottu | A_New_Server: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:32 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, sec then | 00:32 |
| jrib | toonacid: is /etc/services what you want? Your question could be interpreted in a few different ways... | 00:32 |
| iRabbit | cwillu: thank you | 00:33 |
| LoganJRuff | !panels | A_New_Server | 00:33 |
| ubottu | A_New_Server: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:33 |
| toonacid | jrib: I think that's what I was looking for actually, thanks for the hint! :) | 00:33 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, smartctl will tell you the drive's SMART info, and allow you to tell it to run extra checks and so forth | 00:33 |
| A_New_Server | Thanks bastidrazor | 00:33 |
| bastidrazor | A_New_Server: you're welcome. | 00:33 |
| LBaroudi | lol logan I like it thanks | 00:33 |
| iRabbit | cwillu: so sudo smartctl | 00:34 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, man smartctl will give the docs on it (you might want to look at the disk utility at the same time, just to understand some of it) | 00:34 |
| iRabbit | cwillu: alright, I'll check it out, thanks again | 00:34 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, also, the apropos command is useful for finding out commands to try, at least for stuff that's installed by default | 00:34 |
| cwillu | </done> | 00:34 |
| cwillu | <notdone :p> | 00:35 |
| LBaroudi | logan I also want to take other src and add it to ubuntu like firewall I dont want to install other distibutio in my place other than ubuntu | 00:35 |
| LoganJRuff | How does the apropos command work? I just learned of it today | 00:35 |
| neiliob1973 | THNX, guys! | 00:35 |
| jrib | LoganJRuff: how to use it you mean? | 00:36 |
| LoganJRuff | LBaroudi, do you know how to code? | 00:36 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, smart will tell you about any read/write errors that the drive has corrected or experienced, which the operating system wouldn't otherwise even notice. It can often tell you lots of additional stuff, max temperature the drive has reached, number of times the drive has done an emergency drivehead park (i.e., from a sudden impact), etc | 00:36 |
| LoganJRuff | jrib, yes - I checked the man page, but I'm a bit too dumb for it. Just a quick overview? | 00:36 |
| boch | jrib, you are a genius, thank you very much | 00:36 |
| cwillu | LoganJRuff, "apropos smart" as an example | 00:36 |
| jrib | boch: no problem | 00:36 |
| LoganJRuff | cwillu, yeah, and then I see an output I am not sure of? | 00:36 |
| nimbiotics | xangua: what is the other plugin you metioned? | 00:37 |
| LoganJRuff | [logan@Lachance ~]$ apropos smart | 00:37 |
| LoganJRuff | page_revoke (3) - Revocation methods There are two revocation method for... | 00:37 |
| LoganJRuff | scdaemon (1) - Smartcard daemon for the GnuPG system | 00:37 |
| jrib | LoganJRuff: I really only know what the first two sentences of its description in the man page says | 00:37 |
| cwillu | LoganJRuff, "man scdaemon" will give you that man page | 00:37 |
| xangua | nimbiotics: that one, like flash | 00:37 |
| cwillu | LoganJRuff, "man 1 scdaemon" if there was more than one | 00:37 |
| xangua | can't remembeer how is called, only works in windows nim | 00:37 |
| xangua | nimbiotics: * | 00:37 |
| LoganJRuff | So if I am looking for a command and am unsure of it's name, I can apropos <something> and it will return an applicable string...? | 00:37 |
| cwillu | LoganJRuff, apropos only searches the description, not the entire manpage though, so it's not quite a google search :p | 00:37 |
| nimbiotics | xangua: i have no idea what u r talking about :/ | 00:38 |

| kish | is this linux remote desktop as bad as windows remote desktop? | 00:44 |
| cwillu | kish, worse :p | 00:44 |
| iRabbit | cwillu: copy from the C drive... pasted in in the .wine dosdevices c: users Public Games | 00:44 |
| kish | so 100% cpu usage expected cwillu | 00:45 |
| cwillu | kish, that shouldn't happen on either | 00:45 |
| kish | it did | 00:45 |
| kish | how is it worse? | 00:45 |
| iRabbit | cwillu: there is not enough space on the destination. Try to remove files to make space. 6.9GB avail 29.1 GB required | 00:45 |
| cwillu | kish, x remoting is terribly sensitive to network latency, and vnc is terribly bandwidth inefficient | 00:45 |
| cwillu | nx is good, but a pain to get steup | 00:46 |
| cwillu | setup | 00:46 |
| Dwade09 | ok guy i got wine installed and i got my disk in the cd drive i done wine /media/name of disk via tab and i get wine invalid handle, how can i get wine to install my sims3 disk? | 00:46 |
| kish | i thought nx was just remote x | 00:46 |
| kish | not vnc like | 00:46 |
| cwillu | iRabbit, in a terminal, run these commands: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit; df -h | pastebinit" | 00:46 |

| Nayr | asdf. | 00:47 |
| alex87 | hey guys, can i have two server_names for a server config? | 00:47 |
| cwillu | kish, nx inserts a proxy between them, and uses a completely different protocol over the network, in order to eliminate as many round-trips as possible | 00:47 |
| jrib | alex87: if you are talking about apache, #httpd is probably your best bet | 00:48 |
| kish | ah | 00:48 |
| cwillu | kish, i.e., x remoting is only happening to the local nx server or client, and something completely is happening between the close and far sides | 00:48 |
| alex87 | jrib, thanks... wrong channel | 00:48 |

| cwillu | kish, make what? | 00:49 |

| freakabcd | hi all | 01:28 |
| xuekan | hi ubottu | 01:28 |
| divided | hiexpo: all removed | 01:29 |
| freakabcd | is there a way to upgrade to gcc-4.5 or gcc-4.6 and update every package in the process? | 01:29 |
| freakabcd | because right now if i select gcc-4.5 it installs only 4.5 (and some of its deps) leaving 4.4 in place :( | 01:29 |
| hiexpo | ok open terminal and type iwconfig | 01:29 |
| freakabcd | also, if i try to remove gcc-4.4 it tries to remove a lot of packages | 01:30 |
| Scunizi | where are the mount points for an external USB HD found? they're not in /media | 01:30 |
| dogarrhea1 | i'm trying to do a masquerade nat thingy on openvpn + ubuntu. I hear modifying iptables is dangerous sooooo how is this done? | 01:30 |
| divided | hiexpo: wlan0 not showing now, but it was when i had the other stuff installed | 01:30 |
| yeats | Scunizi: an external drive should show up in /media | 01:31 |
| hiexpo | divided, may need to reboot now | 01:31 |

| A_New_Server | What are some good RPGs that aren't resource-intensive | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | yeats: I'll poke around | 01:31 |
| dogarrhea1 | and what would i do if i accidentally modify my iptables in a way that prevents me from accessing my ubuntu server ... | 01:31 |
| mysteriousdarren | how weak for resources do u mean? | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | yeats: nope... not there. | 01:32 |
| hiexpo | ok one sec | 01:32 |
| A_New_Server | 1 GB is what I'd like the max it uses be, but I have 2 GB of RAM | 01:32 |
| A_New_Server | Dual core processor | 01:33 |
| BlueBomber | A_New_Server: I don't know that much about RPGs in Unix, but I know there are emulators available for Unix. | 01:33 |
| dogarrhea1 | i have been wodnering about these extra cores and programming. | 01:33 |
| BlueBomber | Unix + Linux, should say :) | 01:33 |
| dogarrhea1 | how much extra work do you have to do when programming to take advantage of these extra cores | 01:33 |
| dogarrhea1 | you didn't really have to think about it much a while ago and then all of a sudden you do.. | 01:34 |
| A_New_Server | That's high level stuff, dogarrhea1 | 01:34 |
| dogarrhea1 | i know but there's 'threaded' programming | 01:34 |
| A_New_Server | Not sure if this is right, but from what I can tell you just open up threads | 01:34 |
| A_New_Server | That call to the different processors | 01:34 |
| hiexpo | divided, it has an antenna right | 01:34 |
| dogarrhea1 | soooo you basically have to do a lot of work | 01:34 |
| dogarrhea1 | and whenever new hardware comes out like a hex core | 01:34 |
| divided | hiexpo: ues | 01:34 |
| divided | *yes | 01:34 |
| dogarrhea1 | you gotta refactor your code a LOT? | 01:35 |
| divided | hiexpo: but it's kinda busted (still works tho) | 01:35 |
| dogarrhea1 | and write a different version for each different processor? | 01:35 |
| hiexpo | ok | 01:35 |
| dogarrhea1 | seems like a pain in the ass | 01:35 |
| === eminem is now known as Guest36980 | ||
| A_New_Server | Yup | 01:35 |
| BlueBomber | dogarrhea1: It depends on how focused your code was on being specifically dual-core as opposed to being generally parallelizable. | 01:35 |
| Guest36980 | hello. would someone please help. i'm stuck with getting wireless on my laptop | 01:36 |
| hiexpo | divided, what ver ubuntu u on | 01:36 |
| divided | 10.04 | 01:36 |
| dogarrhea1 | so you're saying it basically depends on the problem | 01:36 |
| dogarrhea1 | if it's paralellizable or not.... | 01:36 |
| A_New_Server | BlueBomber, you said you don't know that much about RPGs, does that mean you know of any good ones that won't dump on my resources? :] | 01:36 |
| sexy_ | Has anyone used subsonic? | 01:37 |
| === Guest36980 is now known as ummmmm | ||
| dogarrhea1 | or cast in a light that shows its parallelization.. BUT that begs the question, if not all problems are parallelizable, why are they continuning to put even more cores and more cores | 01:37 |
| BlueBomber | I'm saying porting existing code effectively depends on your original design. Designing something from square one for more cores is different. | 01:37 |
| blind | hey what can i use to scan a folder full of text files for a certain phrase? | 01:37 |
| ummmmm | i can't get wireless to work | 01:38 |
| mysteriousdarren | well try some rpgs out? | 01:38 |
| hiexpo | divided, looks like there is a bug i am searching it | 01:38 |
| A_New_Server | Also, idc if it's multiplayer, I mainly want single player | 01:38 |
| BlueBomber | blind: you scanning file names or file contents? | 01:38 |
| dogarrhea1 | parallel computing is still kind of "new" in "computer science" (if youc an call it a science) | 01:38 |
| A_New_Server | I have an xbox for MMO :] | 01:38 |
| blind | BlueBomber: contents | 01:38 |
| BlueBomber | I use grep with file globbing. | 01:38 |
| blind | file globbing? | 01:38 |
| dogarrhea1 | is there anything in ubuntu that optimizes for cores if you don't even think about coding simultaneous tasks? | 01:38 |
| divided | hiexpo: thanks, I might have to run soon, so if you find anything, msg me, i'll be on | 01:38 |
| BlueBomber | Yeah, e.g. *.jpg | 01:38 |
| blind | oh | 01:38 |
| divided | hiexpo: i'll be on a little later | 01:38 |
| BlueBomber | Or *.odt, etc. | 01:39 |
| blind | i always forget how powerful grep is | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dogarrhea1: the kernel manages core stuff | 01:40 |
| hiexpo | divided, what comes up in iwconfig no rausb | 01:40 |
| humanMeat | oops got disconnected | 01:40 |
| humanMeat | actionparsnip, I always hear "if you're not doing encoding, multicores dont' do anything" | 01:40 |
| divided | hiexpo: what is no rausb | 01:40 |
| humanMeat | if it's justa bout encoding, it would seem that multicore stuff is kind of useless for desktop | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | humanMeat: i'd say SQL benefitted from multicore | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | humanMeat: sql != encoding | 01:41 |
| freakabcd | guys discussing parallelisation, please read up on Amdahl's law | 01:41 |
| divided | hiexpo: right now, iwconfig shows lo no wireless connections, eth0 no wireless connections | 01:41 |
| divided | hiexpo: no wlan0 | 01:41 |
| humanMeat | a lot of problems can't be parallelized anyways sooo | 01:41 |
| ummmmm | i got nothing on wireless | 01:41 |
| hiexpo | divided, pastebin the output for me | 01:42 |
| divided__ | hiexpo: sorry, got booted | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | humanMeat: true but in some cases the benefit may be negligible | 01:42 |
| divided__ | hiexpo: so not showing wlan0 in iwconfig | 01:43 |
| BlueBomber | Parallelization is a good thing! But we aren't yet at the stage that our processors can recognize inherent code parallelism and take advantage of it. Explicit parallelization has a tendenncy to intimidate, unless it's uber-obvious, e.g., in encoding/sql. | 01:43 |
| humanMeat | so intel and amd are ripping us off | 01:43 |
| hiexpo | no prob i said pastebin the output for me of iwconfig | 01:43 |
| humanMeat | "hex core i-920 for 1000$ gogogogo" | 01:43 |
| tiox | I hope that I don't get the runaround here, as for the past few days I have been researching for a solid way to install some of the "Experimental" compiz fusion plugins. | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | humanMeat: i dont have a motherboard newer than year 2000, so it probably wont fly here | 01:44 |
| tiox | I want the screensaver plugin. Anyone wanna help me out with what to do, what to get etc? | 01:44 |
| BlueBomber | tiox: I've installed freewins and wizard and a bunch of experimental ones. | 01:45 |
| JoshJ | Question: If I have a 64-bit intel processor, should I use the i386 install disk or the amd64 install disc? I'd prefer 64-bit if possible, but I don't want to run into intel/amd issues. | 01:45 |
| tiox | BlueBomber, what guide did you use? | 01:45 |
| tiox | BTW, running 10.10 here. | 01:45 |
| BlueBomber | There's a script out there that someone wrote. IIRC you won't find packages until they're out of experimental phase. | 01:45 |
| divided__ | hiexpo: pastebin.com/3eqtAE67 | 01:45 |
| BlueBomber | I'm still on 10.04. Lemme see if I can link you, tiox. | 01:45 |
| divided__ | hiexpo: i have to run but i'll be back in around 30 | 01:45 |
| freakabcd | JoshJ, there are no intel/amd issues. amd64 is the right iso | 01:46 |
| mtvx | Could not initialize Xv output | 01:46 |
| divided__ | hiexpo: thanks for the help, i'll bbl | 01:46 |
| JoshJ | freakabcd, thank you | 01:46 |
| freakabcd | intel licenses some (most?) of the 64-bit technology from amd | 01:46 |
| mtvx | does anyone know what's all about | 01:46 |
| freakabcd | because their own 64-bit platform Itanium was like the Titanic! | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mtvx: is that in mplayer | 01:46 |

| van7hu | has anyone installed dosbox(with debugger) successfully under IA-64 ? | 01:47 |

| ActionParsnip | van7hu: i see, have you tried #dosbox | 01:49 |
| mtvx | ActionParnsnip: where do I do that? xorg.conf? | 01:49 |

| Oakk | Thank you. | 02:06 |
| BlueBomber | Oakk: we can try! | 02:06 |
| edbian | Oakk, yes | 02:06 |
| maxyjj | i mean plugins | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Some_Person: it will be, when pulseaudio starts it makes the folder | 02:06 |
| Oakk | I created an install cd, I rebooted with the cd loading up ok | 02:06 |
| edbian | maxyjj, sudo apt-get install ccsm (it's a huge config program to set all the different plugins) | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Some_Person: i'd use /home/sam/.pulse* to get the cookie too ;) | 02:06 |
| Some_Person | ActionParsnip: I need to delete it after it creates it | 02:07 |
| Oakk | and half way during the boot up process it takes me to shell prompt and gives the error 'can not mount' | 02:07 |
| Some_Person | ActionParsnip: Only the folder seems to matter | 02:07 |
| Oakk | I can reboot into it again and get you a detailed error msg if necessary | 02:07 |
| maxyjj | i got the ccsm but there not much plugins | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Some_Person: not going to happen, the folder holds the settings. If it is running then the settings have been applied, then you will delete them which does nothing | 02:07 |
| Some_Person | ActionParsnip: In case you're wondering, this is a working temporary fix to bug #644644 . It works if I manually delete it after logging in | 02:08 |
| edbian | maxyjj, Search "compiz" in synaptic. There are a couple packages called plugins-extra and plugins-unsupported or soemthing. | 02:08 |
| lccsc | #ubunhk | 02:08 |
| _jesse_ | lccsc: type '/join #ubuntu-hk' into the message box | 02:08 |

| ActionParsnip | Some_Person: 20 seconds at a guess | 02:10 |
| maxyjj | its ubuntu i got | 02:10 |
| Oakk | Am I not giving you guys enough information? Should I get you the full detailed error message? | 02:10 |

| DavidJHeinrich1 | I'm partitioning and formatting a 2TB hard drive in Ubuntu...is there any reason why I should make multiple partitions instead of one big one? | 02:12 |

| DavidJHeinrich1 | edbian: for my main HD with my OS on it, /home is on a separate partition...I"m talking about a separate hard drive just for backing up data | 02:13 |
| edbian | DavidJHeinrich1, I see no reason not to. | 02:13 |
| edbian | DavidJHeinrich1, In that case. | 02:13 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | edbian: ok, thanks | 02:14 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | edbian: and is ext4 fine as a filesystem for backing up? | 02:14 |
| edbian | DavidJHeinrich1, It's not that it's good at backing up data. It's appropriate for the size of the disk. | 02:14 |
| edbian | DavidJHeinrich1, short answer: yes | 02:14 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | edbian: k, thanks | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | DavidJHeinrich1: if you want to split your data up then sure why not, could backup certain media to a certain partition if you like | 02:14 |

| DavidJHeinrich1 | sweet...so after I format and backup data to it, I can take it out and put it in my safe | 02:18 |
| teneerf | tiox: I'm trying to get better at bash, so I would rather figure out what I am doing wrong. | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: also close as many apps as you can so the files aren't locked | 02:18 |
| tiox | tiox: I was talking about installation to get the extra compiz pligins. | 02:19 |
| coz_ | tiox, you want the extra experimental plugins you mean? | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: oh, thought you were on about bleachbit ;) | 02:19 |
| tiox | No, I simply suggested BleachBit. | 02:19 |
| tiox | Since someone asked how he could remove all the thumbnail files. | 02:20 |

| DragonKeeper | how do i get my xbox 360 controller + mic to work in ubuntu 10.04 | 02:21 |
| tiox | teneerf: Why learn how to do something trivial a program can do for you, aside from in the instance when you're on a machne you';re not allowed to install extra programs on? | 02:21 |
| tiox | machine* | 02:21 |
| teneerf | Because I want a better understanding of what's under my linuz hood. | 02:21 |
| teneerf | I am able to find all the Thumbs using find /home -iname "thu*.db" but now I want to take the results and move them to a folder. | 02:22 |
| antihc3 | ok i am not seeing an option on ubuntu 10.10 to not install the bootloader!!!! | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: if you learn CLI you can make scripts to do complex operations which most likely won't be available in a gui app | 02:22 |
| divided | having problems with wireless usb adapter in ubuntu 10.04 - can anyone help? | 02:23 |
| xrdodrx | DragonKeeper, for what? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: also allows you to use your system as you like via ssh remotely :) | 02:23 |
| Oakk | Ok this is the exact error message I am getting during install when booting from cd. Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs on //filesystem.squashfs | 02:23 |
| tiox | Eh? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | divided: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you should see the wireless chip and can websearch for it to find guides, failing that run: lsusb , and search for the 8 character hex id | 02:23 |
| * tiox doesn't forget, there's many ways to do one thing in Linux | 02:23 | |
| DragonKeeper | xrdodrx i want to be able use my control in games but mainly just want the headset to work so i can skype and stuff | 02:24 |
| teneerf | ActionParsnip can you help me with the rest of the script? | 02:24 |
| divided | ActionParsnip: i tried a guide using ndiswrapper and it didn't work | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | teneerf: what script? | 02:24 |
| Oakk | Anyone have any idea what it can be? | 02:24 |
| xrdodrx | DragonKeeper, hmm, the headset might be possible...but I've never heard of anyone using an xbox controller w/ubuntu. | 02:24 |
| divided | ActionParsnip: my comp will recognize the adapter but I can't ping my router | 02:25 |
| trojan_spike | DragonKeeper, There will be alot of stuff on that in the forum.. For other gamers and skype people.. best bet would be there | 02:25 |
| teneerf | ActionParsnip Maybe I should have said command, I just want to find and move the thumbs to a folder of my choosing. | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | divided: does the wireless niterface have an IP? | 02:25 |
| DragonKeeper | okies | 02:25 |
| divided | ActionParsnip: yes, static | 02:26 |
| xrdodrx | DragonKeeper, I think it's an interesting concept, actually :o | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | divided: if you run: sudo iwlist scan , do you see access points? | 02:26 |

| DragonKeeper | xrdodrx i used to use it on my windows machine perfect but havnt found a ubuntu solution for the mic yet | 02:27 |
| Oakk | "Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs" | 02:27 |
| xrdodrx | electrofreak, why on earth would you want to do that? o_O | 02:27 |
| Oakk | Anyone know what can be causing that? | 02:27 |
| xrdodrx | DragonKeeper, cool. sorry for being so misinformed u.u | 02:27 |
| trojan_spike | electrofreak, i dont get completely rid of mine,, handy to have,, although u can put it on auto-hide,, under what ever youre using as task-bar? | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | teneerf: find . -iname "Thumb*" -exec mv {} ~/Desktop \; looks ok to me, change what's in the quotes as you wish and change ~/Desktop if you dont want them moving there, change mv to cp if you want to copy | 02:28 |
| electrofreak | xrdodrx, awn | 02:28 |
| DragonKeeper | xrdodrx ty anyway | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | divided: then the wireless interface isnt working, setting an IP will not simply make the device work, you need drivers | 02:28 |

| aoude | hey does anyone know anything about terminal and python? | 02:36 |

| sp4z | aoude, what do you want to know? | 02:37 |
| electrofreak | xrdodrx, ok. unset key doesn't seem to do anything | 02:37 |
| xrdodrx | electrofreak, does the "delete" key on the keyboard do anything? | 02:38 |
| BlueBomber | aoude: Yes, a bit about both Python and GNOME-terminal. | 02:38 |
| electrofreak | no. I'll look at the config file itself | 02:38 |

| ActionParsnip | teneerf: its dead handy. You can make scripts and scripts which run collebctions of scripts etc | 03:25 |
| pdg1 | gogeta1 : yeah, but one is 21mb | 03:26 |
| teneerf | ActionParsnip: yes, exactly!! | 03:26 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: well windows will be the largest and safe to resize | 03:26 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: well if you have 3 you should hve windoes recover and express gate | 03:27 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1:express gate will be like 1gb maybe less | 03:27 |
| __machine | how can i get a later version of a particular package (znc) from backports or something into 8.04 lts? | 03:28 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: the safest bet would be to make a recovery dvd in case you did nuke it | 03:29 |
| pdg1 | gogeta1 : i have 4. 80GB -windows, 15GB -recovery?, 54.03GB -unsure, and 21MB -notsure | 03:29 |
| CensoredBiscuit | What would make the clock in gnome lock up but yet the system time still be correct? | 03:29 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: well recover whont be 54gb thats for shure | 03:30 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: if you have a c and d drive in windows its a storage partation weard for 1 drive thow | 03:30 |
| icarus-c | CensoredBiscuit, clock applet just show your system time. itself is not supervising the system time nor hardware clock | 03:31 |
| CensoredBiscuit | what would make the clock applet lock up? | 03:31 |
| icarus-c | CensoredBiscuit, crashes? bugs? | 03:31 |
| CensoredBiscuit | hmmm... hmmm... | 03:32 |
| pdg1 | gogeta1 : i was going to consult the manual... but it was pretty useless | 03:32 |
| icarus-c | CensoredBiscuit, you may restart the panel or kill the locked up clock applet and let gnome panel reload it | 03:32 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: as i said if you show 2 drives in windows 54gb is probly stoage | 03:32 |
| gogeta1 | storage | 03:32 |
| Chr|s | Clean Install of ubuntu 10.10 unable to add Facebook account to Gwibber | 03:33 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: just odd they did that for windows on a defult install | 03:35 |
| pdg1 | gogeta1: sounds like sda2 is my best bet | 03:35 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: well as i said 15gb is more then likely the recovery | 03:36 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: the rest are os | 03:36 |
| * tiox wonders what happened to bluebomber | 03:37 | |
| Chr|s | anyone have any idea how I can fix Gwibber o.0 | 03:37 |
| phrix | Chr|s, whats wrong?? | 03:37 |
| Chr|s | phrix: unable to add any accounts | 03:38 |
| gogeta1 | pdg1: the 24mb is likely the padding for the drive in case of failed sectors | 03:38 |
| neil_d | I have a mdadm raid1 device mounted as /mnt/filesystem, setup in /etc/fstab... can bind mount /var/ to a directory in /mnt/filesystem? is the mount program cleaver enough to know it must mount the /mnt/filesystem first before the bind mount? | 03:39 |

| yuz | hmm | 03:40 |
| phrix | Chr|s, have you updated it?? | 03:40 |
| gogeta1 | robojake: you can make anything you whant the question is to gebrel | 03:40 |

| ChogyDan | robojake: why do you want to remove the install icon? Is this just a live install? or an installer? | 03:44 |
| neil_d | Some_Person: you could use a cron script... | 03:44 |
| === rbniknej is now known as jenkinbr | ||
| Some_Person | neil_d: What's a cron script? | 03:45 |
| icarus-c | Chr|s, it is a bit tricky. i just tried it, you have to authorize twice | 03:45 |

| ChogyDan | robojake: is this just for you? If so, it might be easier to create a persistent live install, and just customize it | 03:48 |
| Raikia_ | does anyone know what "Too many connections" means on ubuntu startup (before the login screen)? | 03:48 |
| neil_d | Some_Person: maybe run a script from the "Startup Applications" with the first command being "sleep"... the "sleep" command waits around for some time before exiting | 03:48 |
| Some_Person | neil_d: How long would I need to wait for pulseaudio to load and recreate ~/.pulse ? | 03:49 |
| neil_d | Some_Person: I don't know... but I would it should do it quickly... try "sleep 5" for a 5 second delay... otherwise you could put the script in a loop (with a "sleep 1" in it) until the directory does appear then delete it and exit | 03:51 |

| ranjan | Hi all, how to copy files starting with a . using cp? | 03:58 |
| Raikia | ranjan: I believe you can escape the . | 03:59 |
| ChogyDan | Some_Person: on, maybe you could make an upstart script with something like start on started pulseaudio /n exec /bin/sleep 30 /n exec rm the_file | 03:59 |
| Raikia | for example, if you have a file ".bash_history" | 03:59 |
| ChogyDan | Some_Person: s/on/ok/ | 03:59 |

| ChogyDan | Some_Person: if you need syntax help to test that idea, let me know | 04:01 |
| ranjan | Raikia, ok i have a folder called "hello" and another one called "hai" | 04:01 |

| ranjan | Raikia, the question was silly i think | 04:02 |
| Raikia | ah, ok :-) | 04:02 |
| ranjan | Raikia, Exploiter, a cp -vrf hello/ hai/ will do the trick | 04:02 |

| aboleth | Hello, I use Ubuntu 10.04 and it has been working decently until earlier today. I wasn't doing anything particularly unusual and I noticed both Banshee and Pidgin seemed to have froze. I tried to bring up several things to end the programs, but nothing would work. After several minutes a few new messages seemed to have appeared in Pidgin, but right after that it froze again. I decided it wasn't worth waiting and just pressed the off switch on my PC. When | 04:23 |
| aboleth | I tried to load Ubuntu again after turning it back on it told me I had errors with my hard drive. I then restarted again and went into recovery mode. After it was done running everything it put me at a prompt. I didn't know what to do so I just restarted it again. This time I didn't get the GRUB screen and instead got some kind of emergency GRUB mode or something. About the only thing that I suspect this could come from is that I've known that I had some | 04:23 |
| aboleth | problems with the drive's sectors and stuff and I would get prompted about it before I logged in, but I never felt like waiting for it and didn't bother to fix it. Now on a livecd my drive isn't even detected and I'm not sure what do. Can anyone help me? | 04:23 |

| shelll | aboleth: can you do: ls /dev/sd* and tell us what devices show up. Assuming you have only 1 drive in this PC, it should be /dev/sda device. What you'll need to do is run fsck on your hard drive partitions to fix them without them being mounted. | 04:28 |

| sl33k__ | like my install is in C: | 04:29 |

| aboleth | i forgot that you didn't mount the disks to use it | 04:30 |
| _Beast | look what if the world depended on this | 04:30 |
| Raikia | If your install is in C:, then increasing the size will decrease the amount you can use in C | 04:30 |

| sl33k__ | Raikia: if i want it to dspread it to another hdd? | 04:31 |
| aboleth | Could this be a zero-length partition? | 04:31 |
| al_nz1 | 9.04 | 04:31 |
| shelll | aboleth: Ah. So as long as those partitions aren't mounted in your live environment, you should be able to do fsck -p /dev/sda1 ... the -p means automatic repair (no questions). | 04:31 |

| aboleth | Could this be a zero-length partition? | 04:36 |
| nathanny | ok | 04:36 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: anyways yes you can make 2 hdds 1 large fs if you whant | 04:36 |
| snarkster | is there a software switch for laptops with no actually physical switch | 04:36 |
| shelll | aboleth: you'll need to specify the partition number .. so fsck -f /dev/sda1 | 04:36 |
| snarkster | network switch.. sheesh, i need to goto bed | 04:36 |
| shelll | and then work your way up to the last partition | 04:36 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: but only the alt install has that option included | 04:36 |
| r3sno | thanks maco. i didn know where to find that thing | 04:37 |
| izinucs | snarkster: you want to turn off the network? | 04:37 |
| snarkster | no turn it on. | 04:37 |
| aboleth | shelll: hmm i found something a bit more interesting for sda2 | 04:37 |
| sl33k__ | gogetal: alt install? | 04:37 |
| r3sno | ive got my wifi setup and configured. but on reboot its resets and i have to do it again. should i use a cron to set it up at reboot? | 04:37 |
| izinucs | snarkster: ifup .. | 04:37 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: yea the text installer the live cd does not include lvm | 04:37 |
| snarkster | ive got a thinkpad with no physical switch but no network | 04:37 |
| snarkster | ok thanx | 04:37 |
| aboleth | shelll: http://pastebin.com/JxEPB6yy | 04:37 |
| shelll | aboleth: Hmm. What happened. Did sda1 fsck successfully? | 04:37 |
| shelll | aboleth: Okay. Checking. | 04:38 |
| izinucs | snarkster: wireless? | 04:38 |
| sl33k__ | gogetal: wubi installed mine? | 04:38 |
| aboleth | shelll: no that one got the same error as earlier | 04:38 |
| snarkster | yes | 04:38 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: oh then you need what he said | 04:38 |
| snarkster | it detects the network but will not connect.. strange | 04:38 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: to convert it over | 04:38 |
| aboleth | you know i'm a bit surprised how much i like the new font, since i'm on a 10.10 livecd right now | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | r3sno: what step/s do you need to take? | 04:38 |
| izinucs | snarkster: there should be an icon up by the clock for the network.. tic mark for on or off.. and for setting up wireless.. depending on your chipset. | 04:38 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: but at this time the program does not work on lucid | 04:39 |
| shelll | aboleth: Hmm can you paste df -Th please. | 04:39 |
| snarkster | i see the icon | 04:39 |
| snarkster | it shows the network names but will not connect to the network | 04:39 |
| sl33k__ | gogetal: he said to give parameter /home which is in current fs, but i want to include other fs? | 04:39 |
| snarkster | thought it was off in some degree | 04:39 |
| sl33k__ | so if i put in? | 04:39 |
| izinucs | snarkster: left click,,,, right click.. play there. | 04:39 |
| snarkster | thank you | 04:40 |

| gogeta1 | sl33k__: lets see if i can find a guide im shure its been done without a fancy gui | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | r3sno: then make a script to do what you need and have it be ran in /etc/rc.local this will be ran as root so omit any sudo | 04:40 |
| shelll | aboleth: e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda2 | 04:41 |

| shelll | aboleth: I wonder why it keeps trying to fsck /dev/sda2 as if it were an ext2 file system, hmmm. So sda1 went fine? If so, try to fsck -f /dev/sda3 (next partition) | 04:44 |
| sl33k__ | 700 mb download n i am on 512k | 04:44 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: well you whant to go nativ install rite | 04:44 |
| shelll | aboleth: Maybe /dev/sda2 is swap? | 04:45 |
| Luija1006 | is there a native program for ubuntu that emulates a webcam? | 04:45 |
| aboleth | shelll: sda1 didn't go fine, it gave the same error as earlier | 04:45 |

| linuxn00b | so there's nothing I can do...? Anyone? | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Luija1006: how would you emulate a webcam, you need a camera to look at you / whatever. how would it work? | 04:46 |
| Luija1006 | i mean | 04:46 |
| Luija1006 | a program that you select part of your screen, or a picture or a video | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxn00b: can you give the output of: lsb_release -c | 04:46 |
| gogeta1 | sl33k__: so you whant to rezise you ubi image? | 04:46 |
| gogeta1 | wubi | 04:46 |
| Luija1006 | and then you select the virtual camara to act like a webcam | 04:46 |
| aboleth | Luija1006: skype can do that | 04:46 |
| linuxn00b | ActionParsnip: How do I do that? | 04:47 |

| sl33k__ | gogetal: ya | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxn00b: it's a terminal command | 04:48 |

| gogeta1 | sl33k__: genrely only real install can we risize the fs and so on | 04:51 |
| shelll | aboleth: correct. | 04:52 |
| linuxn00b | ChogyDan: Nothing happens :/ | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | snakesqzns: looks fine to me | 04:52 |
| Raikia | Yeah, snakesqzns, looks fine to me | 04:52 |
| aboleth | shelll: http://pastebin.com/Vi1QGiqC | 04:52 |
| ChogyDan | linuxn00b: do you get an error when software center doesn't work? | 04:52 |
| sl33k__ | gogetal: ok then will it add other fs? | 04:52 |
| linuxn00b | But just out of curiousity, any way I can roll back to ubuntu from mint, or should I ask somewhere else | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ChogyDan: user is running mint which isnt supported here | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxn00b: yes, via a clean install | 04:53 |
| linuxn00b | ChogyDan: No, I click it, and says it's starting up for a few seconds, but nothing happens | 04:53 |

| red2kic | MACscr: ~/.mozilla | 04:54 |
| linuxn00b | ActionParsnip: How do I start a clean install? | 04:54 |
| MACscr | red2kic: yeah, i have that folder, but cant seem to locate the passwords | 04:55 |
| snakesqzns | ActionParsnip, Raikia look harder, it should be smooth | 04:55 |
| ghindo | What is the ettiquite for nominating a bug for a future release? | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxn00b: grab an Ubuntu CD and boot to it, wipe out the Mint install (make sure you r backups of what you need are sufficiently recent) then install ubuntu | 04:56 |
| red2kic | MACscr: You want to ask in Firefox IRC channel. I usually move over ~/.mozilla -- as it save everything. Be it passwords, extensions, or whatever. | 04:56 |
| ChogyDan | ghindo: there is a button on launchpad, but you could also find someone can fix the bug, and make sure they are aware of it | 04:56 |
| Ronaldlo | I have a iMac G4. I installed the alternate community port for ppc. Yet at the boot screen it never loads past two dots. | 04:57 |
| Ronaldlo | Any thing I could do? | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: does your memory test as healthy? | 04:57 |
| linuxn00b | ActionParsnip: Ahh damn. My ubuntu install disk is at a friend's house. I'll just wait for that. Thank you. | 04:57 |
| ghindo | ChogyDan: I see the button, but I'm kind of unclear as to what nominating a bug entails. Does it just mean "please fix this bug before x release?" | 04:57 |
| Ronaldlo | How do I test? | 04:58 |
| aurilliance | My netbook with ubuntu 10.10 suspends every time I pull the AC cord out. Anyone know how to fix this? | 04:58 |
| shelll | aboleth: hmm so its always complaining about superblocks not being read. It looks like the superblock will need to be specified with fsck.ext3 -b <superblock #> /dev/sd* ... so I'm not sure if this will work in the live-cd, but you can try: /sbin/mkfs.ext2 /tmp/foo ... it will then tell you /tmp/foo is not a block special device would you like to proceed, you'll say 'y' ... this will tell you the number of 'blocks' ... let me know if thi | 04:59 |
| ChogyDan | ghindo: it gets added to the release someone's queue, if it looks like the bug can be fixed, then then they will make sure to include it in the release. You really need to have someone who can fix the bug connected before nomination will mean much, AFAIK | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | snakesqzns: if you are nitpicking a tiny handful of frames then maybe but theres no issue there dude | 04:59 |
| aboleth | shelll: what is the exact command i put in? | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: hold shift at boot, select memtest | 05:00 |
| Ronaldlo | ok :) | 05:01 |
| ghindo | ChogyDan: Ah, thank you! | 05:01 |

| ish_ | hey guys i had a question about X11 forwarding. I am doing it via ssh and it is sooooo slow. Can you guys recommend a faster solution? | 05:09 |
| shelll | aboleth: you did mention the drives were over 5 years old? | 05:09 |
| aboleth | gogeta1: it seems to work well enough for the emergency grub thing to come on | 05:09 |

| aboleth | gogeta1: if i can somehow get this to work, should i copy everything to another hd? | 05:10 |

| === alex__ is now known as dogarrhea | ||

| aboleth | shelll: how would i do that? | 05:10 |
| ish_ | ActionParsnip, does this appear red to you? | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ish_: i see, hmm. could try freenx over ssh tunnel (unless you only acces over LAN) then freenx is fine) | 05:11 |
| gogeta1 | aboleth: you can try doing sudo touch /forcefsck reboot and hope it can recover | 05:11 |
| shelll | gogeta1: the problem is that fsck won't even let aboleth enter in a superblock number like e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sda1 | 05:11 |
| shelll | ActionParsnip: Okay. | 05:11 |

| gogeta1 | aboleth: lol you try sudo super-grub2 | 05:14 |
| gogeta1 | uups | 05:14 |
| shelll | I'm looking at grub2's emergency mode and it is rather confusing. I only know how to do this with grub-legacy. | 05:14 |
| aboleth | gogeta1: i DID get that earlier, before i went into recovery mode and it ran some stuff, then i couldn't get back in | 05:14 |
| En | i can't set papper size on epson lx300+ | 05:14 |

| Xenocide21 | the people of ##linux | 05:17 |
| Raikia | yay supertux2 | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Xenocide21: most use openbox & fluxbox, they are super light (lighter than xfce in some cases) | 05:17 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/8fTrVkwr there seems to be more than that, but that's all that fit on the terminal | 05:17 |
| Xenocide21 | ahh excellent | 05:17 |
| gogeta1 | Xenocide21: puppy | 05:17 |
| aboleth | Luija1006: skype seems to do that | 05:17 |

| midhun | ny one | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ysk: find debs or a repowith the old version on and pull down the debs, remove compiz you have now, install old compiz then pin the version. I dont recommend you do this at all, its a big hack | 05:18 |
| gogeta1 | Xenocide21: puppy linux would be good small fast | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Xenocide21: LUbuntu should run on it just dandy :) | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Almost certainly a hardware problem with the drive. | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Xenocide21: if you like the Ubuntu vibe that is | 05:19 |
| gogeta1 | ActionParsnip: on a 233mhz barly | 05:19 |
| Xenocide21 | i feel terrible using up a whole CD for such a small iso though :( and no USB boot options | 05:19 |
| gogeta1 | ActionParsnip: he should check lucidpuppy its uses lucid packages | 05:19 |
| Xenocide21 | i tried xubuntu | 05:19 |
| Xenocide21 | it ran like shit | 05:19 |
| Xenocide21 | pardon my french | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: How important is the data on the drive, and do you have another hard drive large enough to hold a complete image of the drive? | 05:19 |
| gogeta1 | Xenocide21: give lucidpuppy a go | 05:19 |
| Xenocide21 | alrighty | 05:20 |
| gogeta1 | Xenocide21: its built for weak machines | 05:20 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: it's pretty important to me, it has several things i really don't want to lose, and i might be able to store most of it on an usb hd on my desk | 05:20 |
| Xenocide21 | yeah windows would just be atrocious on 233 | 05:20 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: the other hd is fairly old too though... and i don't really have any money for a new one | 05:20 |
| Xenocide21 | it has few uses as it is on a fast computer | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | gogeta1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/MaverickMeerkat | 05:20 |

| monokrome | Thanks anyway | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: First, take any really important data from your working drive and back it up to somewhere like Ubuntu one. You really don't want to depend on a single drive for important data. | 05:23 |

| gogeta1 | aboleth: no the offer a free version | 05:24 |
| aboleth | though i'd consider getting a job for this | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | midhun: did you upgrade to Lucid first? | 05:25 |
| gogeta1 | they | 05:25 |
| aboleth | hmm maybe i'll try that sometime | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: You get 2 GiB free. Not much, but enough for what tend to be the most important files (documents). | 05:25 |

| aboleth | gogeta1: adrive? | 05:26 |
| gogeta1 | aboleth: not of sites offer online storage | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | midhun: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub | 05:27 |
| miststlkr | I've got a regex question if here is anyone bold enough to flex their bash-fu for me? | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: As for recovering the data from your failing hard drive I would recommend using "ddrescue" from the "gddrescue" pacakge (not "dd_rescue" from the "ddrescue" pacakge). | 05:27 |
| gogeta1 | aboleth: http://www.adrive.com/ | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | miststlkr: have you asked in #bash ? | 05:27 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: how could i do that from a livecd? | 05:27 |

| gogeta1 | free | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | administrator_: i personally recommend Urban Terror which plays like counterstrike, and penumbra which is a paid game but the demo is free and awesome | 05:28 |
| aboleth | gogeta1: oh wow, all for free, that sounds very helpful | 05:28 |
| aboleth | gogeta1: i almost definitely will use that now | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Either install gddrescue from Applications > Ubuntu Software Center or run "sudo software-properties -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gddrescue" | 05:28 |
| gogeta1 | aboleth: well ubuntu 1 can auto sync | 05:29 |
| Ronaldlo | Urban Terror is fun, as well as AssaultCube :) | 05:29 |
| aboleth | tremulous is a favorite game of mine | 05:29 |
| gogeta1 | aboleth: but if you need more then 2 gb pay or use a alt | 05:29 |
| aboleth | i like dungeon crawl and battle for wesnoth a lot too | 05:29 |
| aboleth | gogeta1: why is that? | 05:29 |

| gogeta1 | that | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | wliao: Just install it the same way you would to an internal hard drive. | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CodeWar: on googlecode there is gdevilspie which is a python gui to it, as devilspi uses conf files only | 05:32 |
| dujiajiyi | 好阿 | 05:32 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: yea it installs fine but it like to put grub on your primary dive | 05:32 |

| wliao | note: i have no CD.. | 05:33 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: never mind he said that bugs fixed | 05:33 |

| YiamiYo | http://nullkey.ath.cx/projects/glc/ | 05:34 |
| r3sno | ActionParsnip: can i not turn network interfaces on and off from rc.local? | 05:34 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: it can't seem to find gddrescue | 05:35 |
| gogeta1 | aboleth: but thers a huge list on free and paid net storage out there | 05:35 |
| Ronaldlo | So ActionParsnip: Nothing happens when holding down shift. Though it did advance farther on the splash screen. I am right on that it should take shorter than 10 minutes to boot, right? | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | r3sno: sure you can use ifup and ifdown. You can also stop and start ALL networking if needed | 05:35 |
| wliao | gogeta1, i copied the iso to my portable hd, and booted from it. | 05:35 |
| r3sno | ActionParsnip: i am using ifconfig eth0 down, and after boot its still up | 05:35 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: that mgith be tricky | 05:35 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Did you run "sudo update-grub"? | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: thats how its done in grub2 | 05:36 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: i dont think you can install on the same media your booting from | 05:36 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: no | 05:36 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub | 05:36 |
| aboleth | /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 05:36 |
| Ronaldlo | I doubt its getting to grub2, although I'm not sure what that is. It goes from yaboot, to splash | 05:36 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Sorry, did you run "sudo apt-get update"? | 05:36 |
| Ronaldlo | could I do this off of an alt cd? | 05:36 |
| wliao | gogeta1, yep, so , i'm just wondering is there an easier way. | 05:37 |
| YiamiYo | i'm on a 64bit ubuntu 10.10 | 05:37 |
| YiamiYo | http://pastebin.com/x8k9ZDg9 | 05:37 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: shure out it on a diffrent boot media | 05:37 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: yeah i'm pretty sure i did | 05:37 |
| gogeta1 | put | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Was there any error? | 05:37 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: anything will do sd card pen drive burned cd | 05:37 |
| YiamiYo | anyone know about glc?or any other opengl capture software for linux? | 05:37 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: i'll just show you the output | 05:37 |
| wliao | gogeta1, i got no other media at hand. i tried to boot from my computer hd/ | 05:38 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: that would blow upp the os if you did that heh | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: if you have the liveCD you can test there too | 05:38 |
| humanMeat | so a gateway of 0.0.0.0 means what again? | 05:38 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/N2zHCsSL | 05:38 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: acully it might still be possable | 05:39 |
| wliao | gogeta1, my computer is on fedora. | 05:39 |
| Ronaldlo | I guess I'll have to find a way to get a liveCD. We are talking about community 10.10 ppc port? | 05:39 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: acully thats a good thing you can boot the isi with grub | 05:39 |
| wliao | gogeta1, i know how to modify the grub boot config. | 05:39 |

| r3sno | ActionParsnip: although its hardly stable as id like. :-\ needs a bit more tweaking i guess | 05:41 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: if your installing to the ext i dont think that would interfear with lvm | 05:41 |
| wliao | gogeta1, i don't know where to put the iso. | 05:41 |
| midhun | jordan i've snd u the details | 05:42 |
| CodeWar | ActionParsnip, devilspie .. does it understand regex in application name? | 05:42 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: if you use grub to boot a iso file it shouldent even care where its at | 05:42 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: as long as you give it the path to the iso | 05:42 |
| pbt | . | 05:42 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: so what do i do with gddrescue? | 05:43 |
| wliao | gogeta1, i don't understand. | 05:43 |
| Ronaldlo | ActionParsnip: I realized that the load goes farther when holding down shift. Any other keys I can hold to get it to the very end ;) | 05:43 |
| wliao | gogeta1, grub seems unable to know LVM. | 05:43 |
| gogeta1 | wliao: go to doller store pick up a cdrw lol | 05:43 |

| cache_surplus | its like 27 gigs of data | 05:50 |
| domenico__ | i | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: no, backup data you want and regularly | 05:50 |
| CodeWar | naah devilspie is frankly too complicated for something simple .. what would be good to have is "gnome-launch-app appname --geometry ".." " | 05:51 |
| tristan_ | seems gparted is conflicting with something else.. dont really know... sounds like a partition is busy in the kernel.. but i dont know why.. | 05:51 |
| cache_surplus | ic foremost is a backup util... thanks. oh and i back up data, dont rub it in dude | 05:51 |
| ninjai | !dj | 05:51 |
| cache_surplus | im asking for the fix without any data back'd up. not everyone is privy to backing up data | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: no, foremost reads drives raw and can restore data | 05:52 |
| cache_surplus | im reading this now https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 05:53 |
| tristan_ | why cant i get the installer to just take control of my disk and install to it... i already formatted it | 05:53 |
| cache_surplus | ddrescue | 05:54 |
| tristan_ | i try to format it again and it says disk is busy.. but the light isnt on and i dont have anything on it | 05:55 |
| cache_surplus | is there a way to go into the trash file on a mounted usb harddrive? and if so, i need to manually pull trash data, as i have NOT emptied trash. where is the data stored when i removed/deleted the file using smb network nautilus window? | 05:56 |
| === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees | ||
| tristan_ | also i formatted it blank and disk utility shows a 23 GB ubuntu partion and gparted shows weird partitions | 05:56 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: ok i plugged it in | 05:56 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: is foremost a gui tool? | 05:56 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: though i don't seem to have quite enough space on this one | 05:57 |
| cache_surplus | i'd like the cmdline prog as well | 05:57 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: i might need to use my dad's one | 05:57 |
| cache_surplus | ddrescue? | 05:57 |
| tristan_ | i tried sudo apt-get install fdisk but its not correct | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: no, its a terminal app but its pretty awesome at getting data back | 05:57 |
| cache_surplus | why do i need to boot to livecd? | 05:57 |
| Guest17503 | hello people | 05:58 |
| cache_surplus | i see no where in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery stating recovery from a trash file | 05:58 |
| cache_surplus | trash dir | 05:58 |
| Guest17503 | hello people, any idea how i get composite on my desktop | 05:59 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: for the image does it only count space used or the entire capacity of the drive? | 05:59 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: The entire capacity. | 06:00 |
| cache_surplus | can i just mount a dir on another physcial drive, then run foremost? | 06:00 |
| cache_surplus | without using a livecd? | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: it wont specifically say about trash, it just reads the partition or disk and extracts whatever it finds, you will need a partition mounted as writable to spit the data out to | 06:00 |
| Guest17503 | am i getting out here ? | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: no, the partition must be unmounted | 06:00 |
| cache_surplus | so cant i jump to single user mode - and umount the drive in -ro mode? | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest17503: run: lspci | grep -i vga websearch for the output for guides | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: foremost expects it unmounted afair | 06:01 |
| Guest17503 | can anyone hear me ? sorry im new to this | 06:01 |
| cache_surplus | understood now... also, i only want to recover specific files, jpeg jpg files | 06:02 |
| cache_surplus | will foremost work with specified file types? | 06:02 |
| cache_surplus | or a specific dir that i deleted? | 06:02 |
| Guest17503 | any type of acknoledgement would be a help | 06:02 |
| arrrghhh | Guest17503, what do you need? | 06:03 |
| Guest17503 | that will do, just testing this irssi client thanks ! | 06:03 |
| ysk | i how to check that what are the repos which should be in system and what should be removed? | 06:03 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: ok i have the external hd set up and it has enough space now | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest17503: np | 06:04 |
| arrrghhh | ActionParsnip, what did you do :P | 06:04 |
| Guest17503 | so can anyone help with how to get cooliris in firefox working with gforce420mx graphics | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Ok, is the partition you're going to store the image on mounted? | 06:05 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: yes | 06:05 |
| cache_surplus | thanks ActionParsnip, now is there another way anyone? to recover jpeg files from a usb external drive that is mounted? | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"? | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | arrrghhh: no idea but it worked :) | 06:05 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: unmount it and remount? | 06:05 |
| arrrghhh | lol i just responded to his question and i guess that was enough hahaha | 06:06 |
| Guest17503 | use >>>> testdisk from the terminal, make sure the dis is unmounted that ur gonna work on | 06:06 |
| racip_ | gh | 06:06 |
| cache_surplus | thanks ActionParsnip, now is there another way anyone? to recover jpeg files from a usb external drive that is mounted? manually.... actually the amount of data was 27 gigs from a smb network share when deleted... how does ubuntu/linux remove large amount of data... i still see a few pictures in there, that i simply mv | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: No, just run "mount" (or just confirm that nothing on sda is mounted and tell me what the mountpoint is for the partition you're recovering to). | 06:07 |

| aurilliance | My netbook with ubuntu 10.10 suspends every time I pull the AC cord out. Anyone know how to fix this? | 06:07 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/YD5jN1Ff | 06:08 |
| Guest17503 | how about typing gksudo palimpsest in the terminal | 06:08 |
| Guest17503 | that will suffice for all ur mounting needs | 06:08 |
| Guest17503 | or unmounting,formatrting, resizeing | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | aurilliance: what make / model netbook? You could add this to your repeated ask too | 06:09 |
| aurilliance | Gigabyte t1028x netbook. | 06:10 |
| aurilliance | I think the problem is that it's interpreting the "pull plug out" event as a scree close event, and the screen close is set to suspend. | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | aurilliance: have you used these boot options: elevator=noop i8042.noloop=1 | 06:11 |

| Quantum_Ion | Is there anyway to get rsync to back up root / | 06:15 |
| Padhu | I couldn't save when using photoscape through wine on Ubuntu 10.04? | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: ddrescue is like dd but it doesnt quit when it gets in trouble, you can make an image of a failing drive, then fsck it to see if you can recover data. the drive is data, you just need foremost to recover the data | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | aurilliance: i suggest you make a note of that someplace so you can set it if you need to reinstall | 06:16 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: ic, yah its not a failing drive though... looks like your cutting and pasting lol | 06:17 |
| cache_surplus | thanks though | 06:17 |

| aurilliance | ActionParsnip, I'm gonna add it to my blog post ;) | 06:17 |

| shawnboy | Anyone know how to change name of root Linux Grub menu item? | 06:18 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: well its rare for ext3/4 to ourright fail unless its at the hardware level my frend | 06:18 |
| cache_surplus | can i create an image, then run foremost on it? | 06:18 |
| limecat | shawn: grub 1 or 2 | 06:18 |
| shawnboy | 2 | 06:18 |
| Ronaldlo | ActionParsnip: Do you do this as a job? Or are you just really really cool anyhow? ;) | 06:18 |
| cache_surplus | i never said its a failed drive lol... i said i deleted data on accident | 06:18 |
| limecat | i only know grub1, sorry | 06:18 |
| cache_surplus | a lot of data | 06:18 |
| cache_surplus | 27 gigs | 06:18 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: oh its gone forever then | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: if you like, you will need enough storage to hold a full image of the disk or partition you are using, then the same again to output to | 06:18 |
| shawnboy | limecat: thanks anyway. | 06:18 |
| cache_surplus | gogeta1: if you explain why its gone for ever, i might believe you | 06:19 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: linux zeros on delete | 06:19 |
| yyang_ | 大家好 | 06:19 |
| maco | gogeta1: not exactly | 06:19 |
| limecat | gogeta1: are you sure? I thought it was simply an issue of how it deletes | 06:19 |
| cache_surplus | i disagree... i have files in there that were recovered already manually | 06:19 |
| gogeta1 | limecat: yea zeroing | 06:19 |
| limecat | pretty sure that would be a phenomenal performance hit to zero everything on delete, im pretty sure it IS in rare circumstances to recover | 06:19 |
| maco | gogeta1, limecat, cache_surplus: on ext3&4, the *pointer* to the data is zeroed. the data is intact. on ext2 the pointer wasnt even cleared | 06:20 |
| shawnboy | gogeta1: I didn't know Linux did that. That's why there are utils like secure delete. | 06:20 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: yea sometime you can get off the jurnel but mostly its destoryed | 06:20 |
| maco | *unless* you set the "secure" delete flag on your filesystem (this is NOT the default) | 06:20 |
| acjoven | How does one configure cron jobs to log output to /var/mail/username? | 06:20 |
| Four2zero | hello everyone, im trying to get a ftp server up and running for user access, lan works fine but external users cant connect and im running Proftpd | 06:20 |
| Ronaldlo | Ports? | 06:20 |
| cache_surplus | gogeta1: i believe that may be true, unless the .Trash-1000 file only holds pointer files not real data | 06:20 |
| Four2zero | ports forwarded properly | 06:20 |
| gogeta1 | shawnboy: well furensics can recover enough of a zero the secure delete add multi overwrights | 06:20 |
| Ronaldlo | er, ports, are they forwarded? | 06:20 |
| Ronaldlo | ahkay ;) | 06:20 |
| maco | gogeta1: you're wrong | 06:20 |
| maco | gogeta1: you're mixing up the list of pointers to data and the actual data | 06:21 |
| limecat | maco: so iirc it IS possible with specialized tools (ie testdisk) to recover files by scanning deleted sectors | 06:21 |
| maco | limecat: yes | 06:21 |
| limecat | thats what i thought | 06:21 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: well trash doesent zro untill you empty why they added it | 06:21 |
| cache_surplus | is the files in .Trash-1000 only pointer files? | 06:21 |
| Ronaldlo | Four2zero: I hang around an opensource game. People try to set up servers, and dont realize that they need to set up ports. First thing that came to mind. | 06:21 |
| maco | cache_surplus: no those are copies of the files | 06:21 |
| Four2zero | is there some settings that needs to be tweaked in proftpd.conf | 06:21 |
| cache_surplus | i have never emptied the trash since deletion of those files | 06:21 |
| limecat | cache_surplus, if you want to recover, ive heard testdisk is a pretty good tool if you know what kind of data | 06:21 |
| cache_surplus | jpeg pics | 06:21 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: lucky you they should still be there | 06:21 |
| Four2zero | Ronaldlo i understand. | 06:21 |

| shawnboy | multiple choice: 1) How Do I Change Grub 2 Root Linux Menu Item? or 2) how do I move /home to separate partition and why would I want to? | 06:22 |
| Four2zero | i use port 2121 tcp/udp | 06:22 |
| cache_surplus | i deleted them using a smb share window in nautilus from this client | 06:22 |
| maco | cache_surplus: magicrescue may also work | 06:22 |
| limecat | cache_surplus, what was the other end? what Filesystem, OS, etc? | 06:22 |
| cache_surplus | linux to linux | 06:23 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: they still should be the the trash folder then | 06:23 |
| xiong | Um, I have a strange problem. I right-clicked a link in Chrome; instead of opening right away, there was some disk cache activity; I let up on the mouse button.

| cache_surplus | ok, the file that holds the data or pointers is .Trash-1000 correct? | 06:23 |
| cache_surplus | its a usb drive external, and i see that dir in there | 06:23 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: should be as easy as opning it file | 06:23 |
| cache_surplus | du -sh .Trash-1000 shows 555megs | 06:24 |
| limecat | browse it' | 06:24 |
| cache_surplus | not 27gigs | 06:24 |
| maco | cache_surplus: .Trash things are just folders that stuff gets moved to if you use the gui to "move to trash" rather than the command line to "rm" | 06:24 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: outch it migh have done a rm on the samba | 06:24 |
| cache_surplus | maco: agreed | 06:24 |
| cache_surplus | thats what i asked earlier about smb | 06:24 |
| cache_surplus | i wonder if it deleted the data differently than it would with nautilist | 06:25 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: well i do knoe how linuc deletes recover isnt easy | 06:25 |
| MrAnthrope | No change. | 06:25 |

| limecat | cache_surplus, if this is an unknown, and youre unsure if it was actually deleted... | 06:25 |

| ilab | aboleth: are you trying to recover a deleted file? | 06:26 |
| limecat | shawnboy, /home can be put on a seperate partition for a few reasons | 06:26 |
| cache_surplus | im unsure as to how smb deletes | 06:26 |
| cache_surplus | if it rm's or mv's to trash | 06:26 |
| aboleth | ilab: i'm recovering a corrupt disk | 06:26 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: well if its deleted on a ntfs drive it acully gets move to a trash folder on c: | 06:26 |
| limecat | shawnboy, one reason is if you want it on a separate drive for space issues...another is if you want to use different filesystems (a risky but fast one for /, a reliable one for data) | 06:26 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Ok. My guess is that you used the wrong path when you ran ddrescue and so it hasn't been writing to the external drive. | 06:26 |
| rypervenche | I have a custom IME for typing in a dialect of Chinese, it is made for scim and it has a bin file for the tables and a png for the icon. Can I install it on ibus instead since that's what I use? | 06:26 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Instead it's been writing the image to the live filesystem, which stores changes in RAM. | 06:27 |
| limecat | shawnboy, a third is for doing OS reinstalls-- many Linuxes will want to wipe /, but if your home is on a seperate partition you can keep your data easily | 06:27 |
| cache_surplus | there is no C: drive here, this is ext4 on both boxes | 06:27 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: a sepret one being ntfs tools cant relly delete from ntfs | 06:27 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: i checked the directory in nautilus before it screwed up and i saw both files right where i expected | 06:27 |
| shawnboy | limecat: do you know if it's possible to do after installation the other way? (I like reason #3) | 06:27 |
| xiong | Changing screen resolution wiped the ghost box to a gray rectangle with a nice shaded drop shadow. But the box is persistent. | 06:27 |
| gogeta1 | cache_surplus: yea 4 times harder heh even cops hate nix fs | 06:28 |
| limecat | gogeta1, AFAIK when you delete from an NTFS share it is gone gone (that is marked deleted on FS) | 06:28 |
| cache_surplus | its mounted as a usb drive that linux recognized, and i have it in fstab to mount after reboots | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Odd. Stop ddrescue now and run "sync". | 06:28 |
| aboleth | ok i stopped it now | 06:28 |
| gogeta1 | limecat: nope they go in a trahs folder on c: | 06:28 |
| gogeta1 | trash | 06:28 |
| limecat | you can restore from shadow copies but its NOT in recycle bin-- imagine what a file server's recycle bin would look like.... | 06:28 |
| gogeta1 | limecat: you have to delete that folder to | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Because it uses a log file you'll be able to continue where you left off (but only if you pass the log file to ddrescue properly next time you run it). | 06:28 |
| limecat | gogeta1, can you clarify where and what that folder would be called? I have never seen nor heard of this.... | 06:29 |

| ActionParsnip | BillyMays: its one reason i hate and do not use it | 06:32 |
| limecat | kaushal, you want a good mouse? any of logitechs ;) what do you want to use it for? | 06:33 |
| shawnboy | goodnight all | 06:33 |
| BillyMays | ActionParsnip what do you use? | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: If everything seems to be frozen then do *not* pull the plug. Use sysrq magic instead. | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | aboleth | 06:33 |
| ubottu | aboleth: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 06:33 |
| maco | i do like logitech mice...they have the right feel | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyMays: chromium daily build and arora | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyMays: could try the mozilla ppa for a later version | 06:33 |
| limecat | ubottu, didnt they disable sysrq in 10.04? | 06:33 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:33 |
| limecat | think you have to manually enable it | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyMays: could also try firefox 4 if you are feeling brave | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | limecat: No, they disabled ctrl+alt+backspace. | 06:34 |
| limecat | doh | 06:34 |
| kaushal | limecat: good mouse | 06:34 |
| limecat | kaushal, a "good mouse" to me is the G9, which is a gamers mouse. If you want a good cheap one i can guarentee will work in ubuntu, browse newegg-- every mouse there will work. one sec and ill find the one i like | 06:35 |
| BillyMays | ActionParsnip lol, alright. I think i'll leave v4 alone | 06:35 |
| kaushal | limecat: waiting for your input | 06:36 |
| limecat | one sec | 06:36 |
| red2kic | A mouse without scroll wheel should works fine too. | 06:36 |
| limecat | kaushal, i cant google it ATM (only irc access), but model number is m-bck135 | 06:37 |
| limecat | its a logitech | 06:37 |
| red2kic | kaushal: My mouse -- http://tinyurl.com/37urfc | 06:37 |
| limecat | the one i posted cost me about $10, and its a fantastic laser mouse | 06:38 |
| wrektjet | not every mouse. i have a razor and only some buttons work | 06:38 |

| Spaztic_One_ | Trying to get a share that is accessible to a windows box... following what the help system says, but I've kinda hit a wall. It says to select "Windows networks (SMB)" as the share type, but only "Unix Networks (NFS)" is in the drop down list. also worth noting is that the linux computer can access the windows box no problem | 06:40 |
| wrektjet | limecat your g11 keyboard? | 06:40 |
| limecat | wrektjet, no all 11 keys on my g9 mouse. I also got the g15 kb working, i forget what prog i used | 06:40 |
| limecat | somethin like "g15progs" or "g15utils" | 06:41 |
| limecat | Spaztic_One, i might be wrong but i think you have to install something first | 06:42 |
| wrektjet | hmm ill try tom i made a note. ive never actually gotten my g11 fully functioning | 06:42 |
| wrektjet | some keys yes | 06:42 |
| Shvonder | People, what is better opened in Open office doc or docx? | 06:42 |
| limecat | this was like 2 years ago, so i dont remember well. For the side keys, i used "xev" (built in command) to find the keymap codes. I forget where i input them | 06:43 |
| limecat | xev will show you what the computer "hears" when you press a key | 06:43 |
| Spaztic_One_ | limecat, as far as I am aware, both the standard shares-admin and nautilus are installed. now whether the problem is that they both are, I don't know ,but I wouldn't think it is. | 06:43 |

| wrektjet | limecat yes i spent loooong time on that and i ended up using kb shirtcuts in the end. one day i will get back to it. meanwhile i pretty much use the other extra keys and buttons for games in windows | 06:44 |

| ninjai | Someone pleaseeeeeee help me. In ubuntu, how can I verify the PGP signature of a string of text? | 06:49 |
| Spaztic_One | I am also getting this error in windows: <network name and folder> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the admin--blah blah blah /n Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. | 06:53 |
| Spaztic_One | Why is it saying that I am conncected twice, or trying to connect twice | 06:53 |
| rypervenche | Is it possible to install into ibus an IME that is normally made for scim, which consists of only a bin file and a png ? | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One: what OS is the server, what OS is the client? | 06:55 |
| Spaztic_One | in this case, I am trying to access my mav meercat laptop with win xp SP3 | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One: ok is samba installed and running? how did you share the folder? | 06:56 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ActionParsnip: as far as I know, yes. and I have attempted to share using the context menu (right click) and setting it to share, as well as opening a terminal and running shares-admin | 06:58 |
| Spaztic_One_ | (also as a small note, Spaztic_One and Spaztic_One_ are both me, former being the one on the windows box, and with the underscore on the laptop) | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: ok so if you run: smbtree on ubuntu, do you see the shares on the server | 06:59 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ActionParsnip: I do, unless my laptop is supposed to be listed as well. (which I don't think being that it isn't SMB?) | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: if it has shares on it then it will | 07:04 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ActionParsnip: Also, I today got my laptop to access the windows machine. I had it working before, but it suddenly stopped. I figured out the problem for that, firestarter (firewall program) was blocking the incoming traffic from the other compter on my LAN | 07:04 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ah, well, my laptop is not being listed | 07:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: if you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER you can then authenticate as your user, using the password you set. | 07:04 |
| Spaztic_One_ | I do, and thats when I get the error on windows | 07:05 |
| Spaztic_One_ | saying that I cannot be logged in twice or some such rubbish | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: do you get prompted for authentication? | 07:06 |

| vladius | hello, guys | 07:07 |
| vladius | just wanted to ask a small question. is there a way to sell software on USC? | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: that's good, ok then use your username in Ubuntu, i suggest you set your samba pass to the same as your ubuntu pass | 07:07 |
| vladius | I have a small logic game available for both 32bit and 64bit ubuntu and would like to sell it | 07:08 |
| vladius | There is a game called Brukkon currently in USC | 07:08 |
| vladius | A paid application | 07:08 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ActionParsnip: still doesn't seem to work, even when the password is the same | 07:08 |
| Spaztic_One_ | do I need to type username, or username@comptername | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: does the samba account have read access to the share? | 07:09 |
| vladius | USC - Ubuntu Software Center | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: i dont use the right click nautilus thing, i use smb.conf personally so am not sure how the gui apps etc administer stuff | 07:09 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ActionParsnip: I am uncertain as to how to check that | 07:10 |
| Spaztic_One_ | also, I have no problem editing files with no gui | 07:10 |
| Spaztic_One_ | unless they are lengthly and convoluted | 07:10 |
| rypervenche | Can I use an IME meant for scim (it's only a .bin and .png) and use it on ibus? | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: i can give my my smb.conf if you like | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: http://pastebin.com/SbfWjhve | 07:12 |
| Spaztic_One_ | if you think that would help? | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: i have 3 shares, Leanne can only access downloads and her own stuff wheras I can access all :D | 07:12 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ActionParsnip: oh, that one. I edited the workgroup manually earlier today | 07:12 |
| Spaztic_One_ | ... if only I could remember where that was xD | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaztic_One_: if you edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the shares at the bottomi (rest of the file is vanilla) then restart samba, the shares should be ok and security defined as to who can access what. I suggest you backup your smb.conf as a rollback path | 07:13 |
| Spaztic_One_ | name in the bracket is the name that will appear on the network? | 07:16 |

| Ronaldlo | I can boot floppy :) | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | erikyyy: if you run: sudo fdisk -l ,do you see the partition? | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: head over to the pendrivelinux site. The image is there | 07:41 |
| erikyyy | ActionParsnip: no, i only see /dev/vda1,2,5 which is my virtual harddrive | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | erikyyy: then your kvm isn't right. The OS can't mount a partition it cannot see | 07:42 |

| ActionParsnip | n2diy: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you can see the ethernet controller chip and websearch for guides | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: isn't grub == grub ? | 07:44 |
| erikyyy | ActionParsnip: well. but on lsusb it shows up: | 07:44 |
| n2diy | ActionParsnip: ifconfig shows eth0, even its ipv6 address, but no ipv address? | 07:45 |
| erikyyy | ActionParsnip: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c76:0005 JMTek, LLC. Transcent Flash disk | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | erikyyy: ok then unplug the device, wait a few seconds then reattatch and wait a few seconds. Then run: dmesg | tail. -n 20 ,should give clues | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: No, PPC is a completely different CPU architecture and firmware. You can build grub2 for PPC/OpenFirmware but X86/BIOS versions of grub can't boot a PPC/OpenFirmware machine. | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | n2diy: try: sudo dhclient3 eth0 | 07:46 |
| erikyyy | ActionParsnip: if i unplug it, it won'T show up in lsusb again. only when plugged in from system start | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: ahh, I thought itdbe noarch | 07:46 |
| Ronaldlo | so pendrivelinux is no go? | 07:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Could install minimal, that'll fit on a CD | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Then install the ubuntu-desktop (assuming you like gnome) | 07:54 |
| ubuXubu | use synaptic | 07:54 |
| Ronaldlo | Eject the disk? | 07:54 |
| Aeronius | disk has been gone a long time | 07:55 |
| azbr00 | Ronaldlo: The most annoying thing about Xubuntu on my mac is the cooling fans are going full-nois the whole time... can't think with that noise going on.,.. | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeronius: run software-centre. And remove the cd as a repo in there | 07:55 |
| ubuXubu | Aeronius, update thru synaptic pkg mgr | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: could use the minimal ppc iso, then install lubuntu-desktop for super lightness :) | 07:56 |
| Aeronius | ActionParsnip: thanks | 07:56 |
| Aeronius | ubuXubu: you mean sudo apt-get update? | 07:57 |
| ubuXubu | no | 07:57 |
| Ronaldlo | minimal ppc iso? | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !minimal | Ronaldlo | 07:57 |
| ubottu | Ronaldlo: 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 | 07:57 |
| Ronaldlo | !Alternate CD | 07:57 |
| 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 | 07:57 |
| ubuXubu | Aeronius, i think ActionParsnip answer is best but use synaptic to update machine | 07:57 |
| Ronaldlo | !LiveCD | 07:58 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 07:58 |
| Aeronius | thanks for deferring, but you meant go to system>administration>synaptic? | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: there's 32bit ppc minimal. And 64bit ppc minimal. Result! | 07:58 |
| Ronaldlo | Link? :D | 07:59 |
| ubuXubu | aer | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: use the one ubottu gave | 07:59 |
| ubuXubu | Aeronius, when you update do you first go to synptic or do you simply use update mgr | 07:59 |
| === Peer is now known as Guest56695 | ||

| Aeronius | I think | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeronius: I believe you can install server with the alternate | 08:00 |

| Ronaldlo | Hm, should I stick with 10.10? Or should I try something else? | 08:02 |
| ubuXubu | Aeronius, in synaptic you will handle updating and then when you choose update mgr it will say already up to date | 08:02 |
| Aeronius | Ronaldlo: you mean server vs alternate? well, I looked at ubuntu.com, and they're different, I thought they were the same thing as of 10.04... but I guess my info is either old or wrong | 08:02 |
| erikyyy | which component is responsible for automounting a usb stick?i.e. how can i stop that behaviour? | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Ronaldlo: experiment with different distros if you like, each has advantages | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | Ronaldlo: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-powerpc.iso | 08:03 |
| Aeronius | I'm running update manager first | 08:03 |
| Aeronius | clicked install updates, let's see if it gives me any CD grief, but apparently not, it's downloading instead of looking for the cd. Thanks!!! | 08:04 |
| Ronaldlo | Jordan_U: I have that already. | 08:04 |
| ubuXubu | Aeronius, ok | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | Aeronius: They both use the same installer, and can both install either desktop or server. The difference is that the "Alternate" install CD contains all of the packages needed for ubuntu-desktop on the CD so you don't need to download them during install, and the "Server" install CD contains all the pacakges needed for ubuntu-server. | 08:04 |
| Ronaldlo | That is what has been giving me grief | 08:04 |
| azbr00 | Ronaldlo: As I said, you can also go over and look at yellowdog if you want | 08:05 |
| Aeronius | I see, in any case, I was wrong about that | 08:05 |

| najwa | JiveTurkeh: what your problem ? | 08:06 |
| Ronaldlo | azbr00: I think I'll do that Jordan_U: The liveCD is 710, I need that for a memory test. The alternate is what I used because it was smaller. | 08:06 |
| najwa | Ronaldlo: alternate and live cd different on internal installer come with them | 08:07 |

| yaramazgeyik | can i ask a question | 08:32 |
| solidrock | i mean if the user login on his account he won't be able to browse the filesystem | 08:32 |
| solidrock | yes | 08:32 |
| === dZoNi is now known as hahaha | ||

| solidrock | y? | 08:33 |
| yaramazgeyik | i hahe canon mp250 printer, and i find this printer's software for linux, but i cant install it :( | 08:33 |
| gaten | solidrock: you can do that if they use ssh | 08:33 |
| solidrock | if the cd on terminal he won't be able to view filesystem | 08:33 |
| Kevindeuxieme | you want to keep people from looking outside /home/name ? | 08:33 |
| solidrock | yes | 08:33 |
| solidrock | precisely | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | solidrock: you can chroot to change the root folder so if you have the liveCD iso you can manipulate it and chroot to that and the commands ran will affect the data on the ISO | 08:33 |
| solidrock | without liveCd | 08:34 |
| gaten | you would have to recreate whatever the user needs to run his or her seesion inside the chroot | 08:34 |
| gaten | or include, rather | 08:34 |
| yaramazgeyik | :/ | 08:34 |
| solidrock | yeah, i'm looking for some way that they won't be able to see or browse outside /home/user directory | 08:35 |
| gaten | well, they kind of have to | 08:35 |
| gaten | for instance, all of the commands they use are outside of /home | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | solidrock: they will need read access to stuff so they can access and run apps | 08:35 |
| yaramazgeyik | anyone help me | 08:35 |
| gaten | yaramazgeyik: what do you mean you cant install it. it wont run? | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | yaramazgeyik: been on the canon site to see if they have a driver? | 08:36 |
| solidrock | i mean interlink to the apps yes they can but viewing or cd outside home directory should be restricted | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | yaramazgeyik: they do make some drivers and only 32bit | 08:36 |
| gaten | solidrock: that wont be easy. and is probably overkill | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | solidrock: as they have read access they can cd all over. I'm not sure how you'd stop that | 08:37 |
| yaramazgeyik | yes it wont run | 08:37 |
| manuel_ | someone help me with installing mythtv, im trying to unzip the .bz2 file and ./configure the file but it says "./configure: 2158: cannot create config.ep: Permission denied" | 08:38 |

| gaten | well, to cd into a directory you need rx perms, but yes | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | manuel_: mythtv is in the repo. Why not use that? | 08:38 |
| gaten | manuel_: sounds like you need to be root. or sudo | 08:38 |

| bang0 | or run a live distro and mount it, take what you need? | 08:46 |
| donkeybong | bang8 any programs you recommend to do that? | 08:47 |
| yaramazgeyik | what is the .spec*format | 08:47 |

| nyaa | gaten aha, I was reading on wikipedia and it said in version 2.0 they added support for multiple files, so that could have been done with a module but would just be much slower? | 08:49 |

| gaten | nyaa: keep asking and googling; that's how you learn | 08:54 |
| nyaa | gaten; ok, then why is a big kernel bad? does it take memory that has a limit in size? | 08:55 |
| gaten | nyaa: if you want to stream line your kernel, the best thing you could do is *remove* the stuff you don't need | 08:55 |
| _Beast | then install winbind | 08:55 |
| bang0 | donkeybong, its tricky, i can kinda help.. I have ubuntu host and win7 vm...opposite of you | 08:55 |
| bang0 | donkeybong, but in the vbox .pdf user manual it does explain how to mount the share with your situation, ive done it before :) | 08:55 |
| gaten | nyaa: "bad" is kind of relative. most people wont' notice the difference. but if you stream line your kernel for your system and remove stuff it doesn't need, it will be smaller in memory | 08:56 |
| _Beast | i hoping ,y fstab is not screed | 08:57 |
| nyaa | gaten: what I don't get is how it being smaller in memory makes it more efficient aside from saving a few k, or heck even if it were a few megs, of space | 08:57 |
| gaten | there are a bunch of kernel optimization guides out there, google for some. experiment, building your own kernel is good for your soul :p | 08:57 |
| przemek_ | _Beast, I used the mode optionse but the mounted share still has not executable files | 08:58 |
| nyaa | does having more in it mean it has to poll for more things in terms of time sharing? that would make a lot of sense to this | 08:58 |
| bang0 | gaten, i am sorta terrified of it, but i will be building a vm for that reason :P | 08:58 |
| gaten | bang0: that's waht vms are for | 08:58 |
| _Beast | hnnn | 08:59 |
| gaten | nyaa: honestly i dont know enough about kernel arch. to answer that truthfully | 08:59 |
| nyaa | gaten: hey, an honest answer is always the best one | 08:59 |
| gaten | as far as how it goes about allocated resources to "unused" portions of code | 08:59 |
| donkeybong | bang8 it is getting late for me, I think I may just use the other computer in the house that is running WinXP as an intermediate between the host and guest, just give it full access from both of my ends, will take time but it should work, thanks again for the help, I'll also try looking up that pdf | 08:59 |
| gaten | however, a piece of code with megs of unused functions is slower than a piece of code without them | 09:00 |
| bang0 | donkeybong, be stubborn and do it the way i suggested, it is worth knowing how to do.. anyway goodnite | 09:00 |
| gaten | we're not really talking seconds here, in most cases. this is computer time, ms and ns | 09:00 |
| sling-shot | Hi | 09:02 |
| phusion__ | Hey guys. does anyone know why my startup scripts that I've created with update-rc.d name defaults wont start upon reboot? | 09:02 |
| phusion__ | nothing fancy happening | 09:02 |
| gaten | do they start with an 'S' | 09:03 |
| przemek_ | does anybody know how to mount smb with exec permissions for files? | 09:03 |
| phusion__ | gaten: some of them are K20 some S20 | 09:03 |
| phusion__ | in this particular case it's for an nginx server (not installed via apt.. my own startup file). but whats interesting is snmpd wont start either and it was installed with apt | 09:04 |
| sling-shot | Hi | 09:04 |
| gaten | did you enable them w/ update0rc? | 09:04 |
| phusion__ | no, I didn't. what is that? I always thought it was update-rc.d script defaults | 09:05 |
| phusion__ | this seemed to work without issue in debian | 09:05 |
| bang0 | Hi sling-shot | 09:05 |
| gaten | oh yes, thats what i mean | 09:05 |
| phusion__ | yea, thats how it was done. | 09:05 |
| sling-shot | Sorry for the double post :-) | 09:06 |
| nyaa | gaten: I think I figured it out. The kernel goes into ram, but not always into the processor's cache, it gets called in like anything else. So, if it is larger, there is a greater chance of part of it being needed in cache that is not already there, or of the parts that are there being so large that they cause the cache to fill up faster. | 09:06 |
| gaten | phusion__: im assuming you checked the rc.d dirs to make sure the scripts were present, and had executable perms? | 09:06 |
| phusion__ | gaten: yes | 09:06 |
| phusion__ | like i said - even after apt-get install snmpd snmpd doesnt start upon boot and its already in there | 09:07 |

| gaten | so rename to like S80 or something | 09:09 |
| gaten | and K80, don't forget them | 09:09 |
| phusion__ | rename? shouldnt i do it with update-rc.d | 09:10 |
| gaten | phusion__: probably. otherwise you'd have to go into each run level and rename them | 09:10 |

| cube | hi, what's the best option to display some text on screen, on top of all other windows, I found sth called aosd_cat but I cannot display anything with it | 09:34 |
| nyaa | cube: could you be a bit more specific? do you mean like a notification? | 09:35 |
| bullgard4 | ftg2: You say, I should not worry about templates. But I am the user whom you mentioned. So you really mean that Update Manager itself will answer these questions in the templates? | 09:35 |
| === argh is now known as Guest63601 | ||
| ftg2 | bullgard4: no. it will ask you the questions, if there are any | 09:36 |
| cube | nyaa: well yes, but not a popup, but a text that will show on top of all other windows | 09:36 |
| nyaa | cube: compiz has options for window management (as I'm sure other things do too) that allow you to put windows as "always on top". You could do that with Conky if you wanted a message or say processor stats/etc all above everything, and then make the window transparent so you can see through it | 09:36 |
| halpp | Hi everyone, I'm trying to mount my fat32 drive with execute permissions so I can run programs from it. There is no prior entry in fstab, how would I do this? | 09:37 |

| halpp | It's external and gets automatically mounted right now, only without execute permissions | 09:37 |
| Alpha | hello, can anyone have a look at this: http://pastebin.com/vQWijG5x | 09:37 |
| nyaa | cube: if you wanted just one constant piece of text you could probably just make a window transparent, but conky lets you do much more, and is made for that sort of purpose | 09:38 |

| bullgard4 | ftg2: Update Manager in the past often told me: "Extracting templates from packages" but it never asked me any of the template questions. How come? | 09:39 |
| ftg2 | bullgard4: what i meant was, you don't really have to worry about what they do. its all done automatically. only real reason to get into the details of templates is if you are creating your own package | 09:39 |
| ftg2 | bullgard4: i suspect it always extracts templates, and that they are empty 90% of the time | 09:39 |

| linuxdog | I am using Ubuntu 10.10 | 10:57 |
| halpp | Hi. I can't give my FAT32-formatted USB drives any execute permissions, and no scripts run unless I sudo it first. Any dependencies in the script (i.e. java) get broken... what can I do to change this? | 10:57 |
| linuxdog | the problem is: the headphone does not work | 10:57 |
| danms | blue_mushroom: what, now I have to learn about mount points and groups? | 10:57 |
| danms | blue_mushroom,: jk :) | 10:58 |
| linuxdog | the PC I am using Dell E5410 | 10:58 |
| JackStoner | halpp: what happens when you give it permissions?? | 10:58 |
| blue_mushroom | Heh :D at least that's what I did in a similar situation danms :) | 10:58 |
| danms | blue_mushroom: thanks for the pointers, I'll try to figure it out | 10:58 |

| Bruce_Wayne | halpp: how about `chmod -R 744 *` | 10:58 |
| halpp | JackStoner: It used to be nothing - I still had to sudo to run. Now I can't get the identified to match up because when I change it in fstab the drive changes to a different letter / number combination. | 10:59 |
| blueghost | ubuntu support the full qt4.7 library yet? not complete until the lack of a few. On whether the qt4.7 in ubuntu does not fully support? | 10:59 |
| JackStoner | halpp: can u read/write to the drive?? | 10:59 |
| halpp | Yes, I can | 11:00 |
| halpp | I just can't execute | 11:00 |
| halpp | One moment while I try Bruce's solution | 11:00 |
| JackStoner | halpp: chmod +x * works?? | 11:00 |
| JackStoner | ok | 11:00 |

| subone | Does anyone know of a way to refresh Nautilus from a script? I added a script to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts which toggles the default emblem so I can track which files I've attended to (watched videos, etc...), but I don't see the result until I manually refresh the window. I'm wondering if I can refresh this window problematically. | 11:01 |

| nyaa | does sudo apt-get install gnome-do count as cloud computing? | 11:05 |
| blueghost | When I first installed ubuntu 10.10, qt4.7 not contain some of the underlying multimedia modules, and a few others. | 11:05 |
| c0nv1ct | nyaa, no | 11:05 |
| nyaa | why not? | 11:05 |
| Bruce_Wayne | nyaa: No | 11:05 |
| Tellmarch | is it new that firefox uses a lot of processes? | 11:05 |
| c0nv1ct | nyaa, look up the definition of cloud computing and find out | 11:05 |
| c0nv1ct | Tellmarch, kinda, they split off the plugin process | 11:06 |
| nyaa | when looking it up, I found this "Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition." | 11:06 |
| c0nv1ct | Tellmarch, this was quite a few months ago though | 11:06 |
| Tellmarch | hmm, ok | 11:06 |
| c0nv1ct | nyaa, that isnt a definition, learn what it actually means first | 11:06 |
| DragonKeeper | everytime i try to login to msn using pidgin after this new update (ubuntu 10.04) i get an error SSL Certificate Error "The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid." anyone know how to fix this ? | 11:07 |
| Tellmarch | DragonKeeper, mv .purple/certificates .purple/certificates.old | 11:07 |
| Tellmarch | and restart pidgin | 11:07 |
| Tellmarch | and wait (few minutes) | 11:07 |
| nyaa | It gives the point that the word has multiple definitions, but given your response I won't waste more time. | 11:08 |
| DragonKeeper | tellmarch ok ill try | 11:08 |
| c0nv1ct | nyaa, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing | 11:08 |
| halpp | Lol Tellmarch guess what. They messed with the certificates again | 11:09 |
| Tellmarch | i'm still connected ! :p | 11:10 |
| jpartogi | does anyone use ruby cassandra driver here? | 11:13 |
| DragonKeeper | Tellmarch ok it didnt work the way u said but i did move them to another folder and then let pidgin generate a new login file then moved the other 3 from the old to new folder works perfect :) | 11:13 |

| jrib | Superbest: pipe to less (command | 11:59 |
| jrib | Superbest: pipe to less (command --help | less) | 11:59 |

| erUSUL | iram: i do not have that device either. so it is not essential to the system. just a warning. | 12:02 |
| jrib | jaapvisser: 10.10 is not LTS | 12:02 |
| iszak | Superbest, it's probably more extensive. | 12:03 |
| Superbest | ah ok | 12:03 |
| Superbest | anyway, | 12:03 |
| jaapvisser | owe it's 10.04 i see.. | 12:03 |
| iszak | jaapvisser, most LTS back port bug fixes so if there's an update in a newer version it should be back ported. | 12:03 |
| Superbest | anyway, | less does what I want | 12:03 |
| Superbest | I needed something for ls output etc as well anyway | 12:03 |

| tabasko | Superbest, if you want cli irc, irssi is better :) | 12:05 |
| iram | erUSUL: Do you have any idea how i can troubleshoot the bootup sequence ? | 12:05 |
| halpp | I mounted it via fstab instead of just plugging and playing because I needed execute permissions | 12:05 |
| Superbest | tabasko, no I just want to run the gui xchat as a different user | 12:05 |
| halpp | Here is the fstab entry, if it's any help | 12:05 |
| halpp | LABEL=Elements/media/Elementsvfatdefaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=10000 | 12:05 |
| Superbest | tabasko, apparently I shouldn't use irc as root, but backtrack logs me in as root by default | 12:05 |
| jaapvisser | will look into it trying to get SNI working 1 ip multiple SSL hosts. | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | iram: you can try editting /boot/grub/grub.cfg and removing quiet and splash from the kernel line you use to boot | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | iram: then reboot and see what messages you get | 12:06 |
| lapion | halpp directories need execute permissions to be opened | 12:06 |
| danrrico_ | I can not see my panels, what can I do do?? just installed 10.10 yest and panels are not working | 12:06 |
| iram | erUSUL:thanks good idea i will try this and come back to you hopefully from my linux bos ;) | 12:06 |
| halpp | Don't they have it? :X | 12:07 |
| tabasko | Superbest man xchat ? That sounds like that that xchat cant have access to work | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | iram: the lines are something similar to « linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-26-generic root=UUID=rendom-string-here ro quiet splash » | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | iram: remove the trailing quiet and splash | 12:07 |
| Superbest | tabasko, yeah I figured out how to do it from the gui, but how do I do it from cli? | 12:07 |
| tabasko | Superbest, its trying to make .congig file in your home, which is root but you dont have access to it as normal user | 12:07 |
| tabasko | umm | 12:08 |
| lapion | halpp depends on your umask.. | 12:08 |
| Superbest | tabasko I am not trying to run it as root, I first su to another user, then do xchat | 12:08 |
| lapion | do ls -l and see if they have x.. | 12:08 |
| halpp | My fstab entry for the drive is there.. am I missing something? | 12:08 |
| danrrico_ | the panels are not working and just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 yest. What can I do?? | 12:08 |
| danrrico_ | need help!!!! | 12:09 |
| halpp | Oooh. I can't even go inside o_O | 12:09 |
| iram | erUSUL: Oh but the recovery mode is already without spash and quiet | 12:09 |
| erUSUL | iram: yes; you did not see anything wrong while booting into it? | 12:10 |
| tabasko | Superbest, xserver running by root? | 12:10 |
| Superbest | tabasko, yes, probably superbest (the user I made) isn't running xserver | 12:11 |
| tabasko | if you have logged in as root and started xserver, no another user can use it | 12:11 |
| tabasko | yeah | 12:11 |
| Superbest | tabasko, so how do I fix that? | 12:11 |
| iram | erUSUL: just says that filesystem is clean and then gets to login screen and stays hung up there | 12:12 |
| jaapvisser | !info openssl lucid | jaapvisser | 12:12 |

| tabasko | I dont know if you can use roots xserver, btw why you are running xserver by root? | 12:12 |
| halpp | Aha, my umask was the wrong value | 12:12 |
| halpp | :D | 12:12 |
| danrrico_ | any one know how to help me with the panels that are not working?? | 12:12 |
| Superbest | tabasko, backtrack logs in as root by default | 12:12 |
| danrrico_ | any one???????????? | 12:13 |
| blackshirt | !reset | 12:14 |
| tabasko | Superbest, hey, try gksu | 12:14 |
| blackshirt | !reset-panel | 12:14 |
| danrrico_ | how do I reset the panel?? | 12:14 |
| erUSUL | iram: :/ using « sysrq + t » will dump a trace to console but probably would b e useless to users like us ... | 12:14 |
| tabasko | Superbest, I dont have tried it by myself, but maybe it can give you access to use roots x | 12:14 |
| DJones | !panels | danrrico_ | 12:15 |
| ubottu | danrrico_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:15 |
| iram | erUSUL: i rebooted with alt sysrq didn't know i could get a trace gonna try it | 12:15 |
| tabasko | Superbest, gksu -u superbest xchat | 12:15 |
| Superbest | tabasko, still complains about protocol | 12:15 |
| Superbest | tabasko, what protocol is it anyway? maybe it's easier if I just make the config file | 12:16 |
| danrrico_ | DJones_: ubottu gave me a code but did not work i dont hink | 12:16 |
| iram | erUSUL: do you have any idea why i can't even boot with older linux kernels that were known to work? i have noticed that once before that after installing a new kernel the old one won't boot (hang) this is not what is supposed to happen | 12:16 |
| erUSUL | iram: maybe is some userspace ( vital ) the one that hangs up... init; login. etc... who knows | 12:17 |
| DJones | danrrico_: Sorry, I knew of the prompt to get ubottu to give the info, its not something I've used myself | 12:17 |
| tabasko | Superbest, most easiest would be that you log in as your regular user of course. protocol what it is complaining about is xserver | 12:17 |
| iram | erUSUL: thanks for your help | 12:18 |
| tabasko | Superbest, isnt there way to config gdm or other login manager it is using to log in as user? | 12:18 |
| danrrico_ | DJones_: should just reboot and reset 10.10?? because its not working all that right | 12:18 |
| Superbest | tabasko, might be but I don't want to do that. For one I'd need to hop back and forth between users then | 12:18 |
| DJones | danrrico_: I would have expected that you'd need to restart X or reboot after running that command | 12:18 |
| Superbest | tabasko, and in any case I'd like to figure out what is wrong with this way | 12:19 |
| danrrico_ | DJones_: what do u mean restart X or reboot?? | 12:19 |
| r4d1x | how long would it take partman to deal with 3 1tb drives on install? | 12:19 |
| DJones | danrrico_: I would just restart the computer so that any changes to the desktop can be picked up when it restarts | 12:20 |
| Superbest | tabasko, normally when backtrack boots, I am logged in as root and I get just command line, then type startx and kde launches | 12:20 |
| Superbest | perhaps that is relveant | 12:20 |

| Nat_ | I have problem to install kde on ubuntu!! Can you help me ?? | 12:21 |
| Superbest | tabasko, I tried to startx after doing su but... oh | 12:21 |
| Superbest | tabasko, "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." | 12:21 |
| blackshirt | Nat_: just install kubuntu-desktop packages will bring kde desktop to your linux | 12:21 |
| Superbest | tabasko, so how do I authorize users to run the X server? | 12:22 |
| Nat_ | blackshirt, I've tried but there is a problem with dependences... | 12:22 |
| tabasko | Superbest, yeah, user doesnt belong to group which jas permission to run it :) | 12:22 |
| distant2 | i'm installing ubuntu but using the advanced partitioner so that i can choose ext3 filesystem. can someone tell me how many partitions i have to make? i don't really know. i have 250 GB of HDD space. | 12:22 |
| Superbest | tabasko, so how do I mess with permissions? | 12:23 |

| edson1234 | How do I enable my wireless? It says Wireless Disabled. I accidentally switch of the wireless switch on my laptop. I already switched it back but it won't let me use my wireless. | 12:25 |
| brian_ | edson1234 which version? | 12:25 |
| Lambert | âñåì ïðèâåò | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | edson1234: ive had some odd laptops where i had to boot to wndows.. turn on the wireless. then boot back to linux. | 12:26 |
| Superbest | tabasko, there's a bunch of stuff there along with "superbest" and "root" | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | edson1234: some bug in the drivers i think. | 12:26 |
| Superbest | tabasko, anyway, what is my group-name supposed to be? | 12:26 |
| danrrico | ok, reset the computer and panels still not working right, what can I do to fix it?? | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanels | 12:27 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:27 |
| brian_ | edson1234: I have that with my eee and 10.10 | 12:27 |
| karthick87 | My Trash bin is not opening. It just shows the "loading" mouse cursor forever. Any idea what can be wrong? | 12:27 |

| Superbest | hmph... why won't they just dump this stuff on the default backtrack desktop? | 12:33 |

| tuxnani | can someone tell me about connecting beetel modem in ubuntu 10.10 | 13:22 |
| devyll | if someone gets a hold of my hdd | 13:22 |
| c0nv1ct | devyll, do you need it to be crossplatform? | 13:22 |
| J_P | Dr_Willis: I set +s in mount.cifs (that is default in 9.4) | 13:22 |
| devyll | c0nv1ct, yes | 13:22 |
| osmosis_paul | someone know? how to get the process of one application that is running? | 13:22 |
| devyll | c0nv1ct, if possible on a fat32 volume | 13:22 |
| c0nv1ct | devyll, you might like truecrypt then, both portable and crossplatform | 13:22 |
| J_P | Dr_Willis: but is note default +s in 10.4. Maybe a bug? | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | J_P: that could be considred a security issue. but its your pc. :) | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | J_P: i would imagine it was done on purpose. | 13:23 |
| c0nv1ct | devyll, you can just do an encrypted container too, no need to encrypt an entire volume just for some docs | 13:23 |
| J_P | Dr_Willis: because now normal user can mount points :-) | 13:23 |

| pietro10 | Why does installing jack to run some synths on the Ubuntu Software Center want me to remove portuadio-v19-devel? I need it for my own software. | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | J_P: access teh share via the nautilus file manager, then it should be in .gvfs/ or i just save somewhere and drag it over.. or if i want to get 'fancy' i use that samba-fuse tool so i have a 'Network' Directory that updates automatically with all the windows machines/shares. | 13:28 |

| StealthB | Hey people, I got a problem. When I try to launch gparted, I get the error described here. I need to format my USB stick to get it to work I think, but is there any way I can format a read only USb stick without gparted? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/617885 | 13:29 |

| StealthB | I just need something to format the USB drive with | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | oops that was for inoob_ :) | 13:30 |
| c0nv1ct | StealthB, mkfs from the command line will format whatever you need | 13:30 |
| inoob_ | but i forgot the email | 13:30 |
| inoob_ | it is on a ubuntu machine | 13:30 |
| flo_ | ? | 13:30 |
| inoob_ | i no how to recover on windows | 13:31 |
| pietro10 | StealthB: does the drive show up on the desktop? If so you can just right click and hit Format | 13:31 |
| inoob_ | not ubuntu | 13:31 |
| Benkinooby | oh, sorry wrong channel ops | 13:31 |
| StealthB | pietro10, its read only. I messed it up after using unetbootin | 13:31 |

| nebula | Does this work under ubuntu pograma 10.10 phoronix-test-suite | 13:31 |
| J_P | Dr_Willis: I will to try that.. Bu I would like something easy, like as a mount point after mounted with cmd line.. | 13:31 |
| juk | StealthB: you asked what you can use to format usb stick with, i meant that | 13:32 |
| c0nv1ct | StealthB, depends on what filesystem you want and the device path of the usb drive | 13:32 |
| flo_ | Dr_Whillis: what? | 13:32 |
| StealthB | c0nv1ct, just any file-system really, FAT32 would be nice | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | J_P: some would say using nautilus is easy.. | 13:32 |
| StealthB | juk, how do I do it though? | 13:32 |
| c0nv1ct | StealthB, `dmesg | tail` right after you insert the drive should tell you the device path | 13:32 |
| juk | !fdisk | StealthB | 13:32 |

| juk | c0nv1ct: he will need that after formating i believe | 13:34 |
| c0nv1ct | juk, no | 13:34 |
| StealthB | juk, I know how to partion and format stuff normally | 13:34 |
| J_P | Dr_Willis: yes, nautilus is very easy. problem is to use applications to sabe inside networks using nautilus mounted.. | 13:34 |
| StealthB | just gpartted does not want to play nice | 13:34 |
| juk | c0nv1ct: wow, ok | 13:34 |

| w3bcrawler | anyone know how to make a link to a shared network folder? the option is grayed out when i right-click on the folder in Nautilus | 13:53 |
| StealthB | THe worst that can happen is I will format my drive | 13:53 |
| StealthB | and reinstall Ubuntu | 13:53 |
| basyirstar | do you know how to compile? | 13:53 |
| StealthB | right? | 13:53 |
| c0nv1ct | StealthB, if it wont boot, then reinstall might be the fastest and simplest way to recover | 13:53 |
| g[r]eek | iceroot, berefeira: is this virtualbox like vmware (except open source) | 13:54 |
| StealthB | If I get the grub menu then yeah | 13:54 |
| StealthB | Anyway, thanks for the help man | 13:54 |
| iceroot | g[r]eek: yes | 13:54 |
| c0nv1ct | StealthB, no problem, good luck | 13:54 |
| StealthB | And away I go D= | 13:54 |

| nchand | StealthB: ouch | 13:55 |
| g[r]eek | iceroot: ok thanks | 13:55 |
| StealthB | lol nchand | 13:55 |
| pietro10 | ubottu is a bot | 13:55 |
| ubottu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information. | 13:55 |
| StealthB | We all make mistakes sometimes | 13:55 |
| pietro10 | there is no use telling it everything | 13:55 |
| StealthB | And it comes with ubuntu I suppose | 13:55 |
| StealthB | thank god I made backups =D | 13:55 |
| pietro10 | basyirstar: what exactly are you trying to install? | 13:55 |
| pietro10 | er, compile? | 13:56 |
| w3bcrawler | anyone know how to make a link to a shared network folder? the option is grayed out when i right-click on the folder in Nautilus | 13:56 |
| bullgard4 | Are the lines of the text file /boot/config-2.6.32-25-generic »kernel options«? For example, "CONFIG_X86=y". Or what are »kernel options«? | 13:56 |
| yaramazgeyik | can i ask a question | 13:56 |
| pietro10 | yes | 13:56 |
| iceroot | !ask | yaramazgeyik | 13:56 |
| ubottu | yaramazgeyik: 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. :-) | 13:56 |
| w3bcrawler | you just did.\ | 13:56 |
| sipior | bullgard4: those are the options used in building the referenced kernel | 13:57 |
| sipior | bullgard4: kernel options can also refer to options passed to the kernel at boot. | 13:57 |
| yaramazgeyik | i cant find my compiz settings for , i change display look up, because if i rolate my desktop, ı see inside | 13:57 |
| basyirstar | i want to compile driver patcher | 13:57 |
| bullgard4 | sipior: My question was: "What are kernel options?" Can you answer this question? | 13:57 |
| llutz_ | bullgard4: cat /proc/cmdline shows actually used kernel-options | 13:58 |
| hariom | Anybody to solve this? I am getting error while updating my system through apt-get (Ubuntu 10.04). I get this error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend per-base for liblocale-gettext-perl, probably a dependency cycle. | 13:58 |
| sipior | bullgard4: i think i just did. | 13:58 |
| pietro10 | basyirstar: this is a C/C++ program? | 13:58 |
| x404x | hm when i mount -o -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 i get special device ntfs not exist is it called something else ? | 13:58 |
| LordHawke | Anyone know BASH if for checking whether or not a filename begins with '.' (period)? | 13:59 |
| yaramazgeyik | ****i cant find my compiz settings for , i change display look up, because if i rolate my desktop, ı see inside | 13:59 |
| llutz_ | x404x: you have to specify options when using -o and your command misses a mountpoint | 13:59 |
| x404x | ah what more options i need ? | 13:59 |
| LordHawke | if [ ${filename} =(=) ".*"] | 13:59 |
| LordHawke | doesn't work. | 13:59 |
| llutz_ | x404x: like: mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/point | 14:00 |
| llutz_ | !ntfs > x404x | 14:00 |
| x404x | ok i try, thanx | 14:00 |
| ubottu | x404x, please see my private message | 14:00 |
| LordHawke | I've tried with various combinations of equals signs and quotations. | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 14:00 |
| pietro10 | [08:59] <LordHawke> if [ ${filename} =(=) ".*"] | 14:00 |
| pietro10 | wait, I'm looking at the test manpage and that doesn't show up | 14:01 |
| pietro10 | is that a feature of some builtin test in bash? | 14:01 |
| joe_9 | is there something like KDevelop for Gnome? | 14:01 |
| LordHawke | It's just 'if' | 14:01 |
| trans | hello everyone, just screwed up alsa, how to reinstall it? | 14:01 |
| dingurt | anjuta? | 14:01 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: [ is an alias for the test command | 14:01 |
| LordHawke | Exactly. | 14:01 |
| bullgard4 | llutz_: And how are called the settings in the file /boot/config-2.6.32-25-generic? | 14:02 |
| nebula | run for ubuntu 10.10 ?? phoronix-test-suite | 14:02 |
| pietro10 | meh | 14:02 |
| pietro10 | it appears bash DOES have a builtin test | 14:02 |
| LordHawke | Trying to test if the variable is equal to ".*" when it begins with a period. | 14:02 |
| llutz_ | bullgard4: that is the kernel-config used to build that specific kernel | 14:02 |
| JackStoner | trans: perhaps install alsa-utils | 14:02 |
| furi | since i am having boot problems apparently nobody has resolved, should i just simply reinstall after grabbing any files that appear a necessity to me? | 14:02 |
| pietro10 | so anyway: | 14:03 |
| pietro10 | Is there a particular way I should install JACK to run these synths? Just choosing JACK in Synaptic wants me to remove portuadio which I use in the software I write... | 14:03 |
| trans | JackStoner is that command sufficient? | 14:03 |
| bullgard4 | sipior, llutz_ Thank you for your help. | 14:03 |
| LordHawke | How would I test to see if a filename begins with a period? | 14:03 |
| trans | " sudo apt-get install alsa-utils" | 14:04 |
| hariom | Any help in this? I am getting error while updating my system through apt-get (Ubuntu 10.04). I get this error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend per-base for liblocale-gettext-perl, probably a dependency cycle. | 14:04 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: didn't you just say how yourself? | 14:04 |
| kubanc | if the led is not ON on usb key when i plug it into USB, and also the command sudo fdisk -l didnt found any plugged external device? IS perhaps the usb key dead? | 14:04 |
| LordHawke | That doesn't work. | 14:04 |
| LordHawke | It always tests false. | 14:05 |
| Dakota_ | just ordered the free ubuntu cd | 14:05 |
| LordHawke | I think it has to deal with the usage of the asterisk. | 14:05 |
| Adm | Hello, I am trying to create a backup of a user login profile, and would like some info how how to do such a thing, on command line ubuntu | 14:05 |
| pietro10 | it's because test doesn't do regexp | 14:05 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: let me see if there's another way | 14:05 |
| LordHawke | pietro10: Thank you. | 14:06 |
| mattva01 | kubanc: yes it's likely the hardware is not working | 14:07 |
| mattva01 | or there is not a correct usb host driver | 14:07 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: try [[ filename =~ '\.*' ]] | 14:07 |
| pietro10 | er | 14:08 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: try [[ filename =~ '^\.*' ]] | 14:08 |
| kubanc | mattva01, so, the only solution to copy the files on "dead" usb is to excange flash memory of the faulty usb key with a working key ( which is the same model) | 14:08 |
| hanhanjack | hello | 14:08 |
| blackshirt | hello | 14:08 |
| furi | i'm reinstalling, and i need to know where the firefox add-ons and configuration files are. can someone tell me? | 14:08 |
| pietro10 | wait that doesn't work | 14:09 |
| pietro10 | what... | 14:09 |
| mattva01 | kubanc: have you tried on a different computer? | 14:09 |
| pietro10 | oh wait yeah | 14:09 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: try [[ filename =~ '^\.' ]] <-- DO THIS | 14:09 |

| pietro10 | it's not working | 14:10 |
| FloodBot3 | pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:10 |
| furi | spaceman, thanks | 14:10 |
| kubanc | mattva01, yes i have, and also on different OS.... | 14:10 |
| hariom | How to solve this problem while doing apt-get installs E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libattr1' | 14:10 |
| Adm | can anyone help me with some command line ubuntu? | 14:11 |
| LordHawke | pietro10, this is the current. It always tests false. http://paste.ubuntu.com/533867/ | 14:11 |
| mattva01 | kubanc:then yeah, you may be out of luck unless you are sure the flash memory is good | 14:12 |
| hroi | If I execute umount some media /media/myusb as the regular user, I get "umount: only root can unmount /dev/sda1 from /" | 14:12 |

| hroi | is this a bug? | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | !ask | Adm | 14:13 |
| ubottu | Adm: 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. :-) | 14:13 |
| LordHawke | I started making it like a command line tool just because I'm dealing with the file itself right now. I will later be just cutting the text out. | 14:13 |
| pietro10 | LordHawke: because test doesn't have regexps | 14:13 |
| pietro10 | the extended test [[ does | 14:13 |
| pietro10 | look it up on google because I can't get it to work | 14:13 |
| pietro10 | just remember that it's a regexp, not a file matching expression | 14:13 |
| pietro10 | so it would be ^\. | 14:13 |
| hanhanjack | i am a student . | 14:14 |
| pietro10 | or something to that extent | 14:14 |
| hroi | ahh there is a space in there, somefolder / | 14:14 |
| pietro10 | hanhanjack: ? | 14:14 |
| hanhanjack | are you ? | 14:14 |
| pietro10 | hanhanjack: no what was your question | 14:14 |

| BluesKaj | odd that my other pc would upgrade the new nvidia kernel source driver without the new kernel , had to ssh into it and replace the sources.list with the list from this pc which did install a new kernel and new nvidia kernel source driver, but why didn't it do so in the first place ? | 14:18 |
| mattva01 | frxstrem: i'm assuming he's looking for windows computers though | 14:18 |
| AdvoWork | mattgyver, ive got knmap, any idea, is it just 192.168.0.00/255? | 14:18 |

| atxq | I know samba manages connection to window machines, but never seen anything about samba authenticating users on the network | 14:21 |
| atxq | anyone know how to use ubuntu to authenticate users on the network? | 14:22 |
| frxstrem | Adm: the user profiles are located in /home/ | 14:22 |
| mattva01 | Adm: check the hidden files in their home directory ("ls -la /home/<user> will show them with a dot before their name) most of them are user profile settings | 14:22 |
| Adm | and by backing them up i can restore them at a later time ? | 14:22 |
| === toberg is now known as Jaberw0cky | ||
| juk | atxq: what's that | 14:22 |
| frxstrem | Adm: yes, you can just copy them back and it would probably work for most of it | 14:22 |

| geboy | hi whatsup | 14:55 |
| AbhiJit | hello | 14:56 |
| lijunle | my 'update-grub2' can not find my XP. can someone help me ? | 14:56 |
| AbhiJit | is there any communication software specifically for mathematics? so that we can write in real world math? e.g. right now in xchat i need to write as 1/(s+2) but i want to write it in real world format for some reason. | 14:57 |
| AbhiJit | help???? | 14:57 |
| stuartpb | How can I reprogram the behavior of the caps lock key? I want it to unlock on release unless holding lshift | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: google wave ? supported MAthML iirc. but it went the way of the dodo | 14:58 |
| tecnico | AbhiJit: I think kopete has LaTeX support | 14:58 |
| AbhiJit | erUSUL, what is mathml iirc? | 14:58 |
| karthee | lijunle: were you using grub2 or legacy grub previously ?? | 14:58 |
| basyirstar1 | sorry | 14:58 |
| AbhiJit | tecnico, ok wll look at it | 14:58 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: MathML is html for math notation ; iirc == if i recall correctly | 14:59 |
| AbhiJit | ohh ok | 14:59 |
| AbhiJit | erUSUL, is mathml is communication software like xchat? | 14:59 |
| tecnico | its a markup language | 15:00 |
| basyirstar1 | can help me compile software? | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | AbhiJit: no; maybe there are IM clients that support MathML ( if kopete can support LaTeX ... ) | 15:00 |
| Krishnandu | basyirstar1, what software?? | 15:00 |
| basyirstar1 | driver | 15:00 |
| Chr|s | anyone install the latest teamspeak for linux? | 15:00 |
| Chr|s | Im trying to figure out how to install a .run file | 15:00 |
| Krishnandu | basyirstar1, Chances are you have got a README / INSTALL file with your driver....read that... | 15:01 |
| rocket16 | Chr|s: Have you tried using "./run" command in terminal? | 15:01 |
| AbhiJit | erUSUL, yah | 15:01 |
| basyirstar1 | there is no readme or / install | 15:01 |
| Krishnandu | basyirstar1, BTW compiling from source involves ./configure, make, make install generally | 15:01 |
| Krishnandu | basyirstar1, What driver are you trying to compile?? From source right?? | 15:02 |
| lock | basyirstar1: try ./configure | 15:02 |
| tecnico | !compile | 15:02 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 15:02 |
| lijunle | <karthee>grub2 | 15:02 |
| basyirstar1 | wait | 15:02 |
| Chr|s | rocket16: no, Im using terminal now heh | 15:02 |
| rocket16 | Chr|s: Just enter terminal and bring it to the directory where the file is. Then make .run executable and use ./.run (assuming /run to be the name). | 15:02 |
| lock | basyirstar1: then after that, 'make' | 15:02 |
| Krishnandu | basyirstar1, Yes | 15:02 |
| lock | basyirstar1: or, 'make install' | 15:02 |
| Krishnandu | basyirstar1, make then make check and make install | 15:02 |
| rocket16 | lock: basyirstar1: It should be "sudo make install", as "make install" needs administrative rights.. | 15:03 |
| lijunle | karthee: grub2 so not to edit grub.cfg? | 15:03 |
| Krishnandu | rocket16, Yes...sudo make install ofcourse :) | 15:03 |
| basyirstar1 | i know... | 15:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | !checkinstall | basyirstar1 | 15:03 |
| ubottu | basyirstar1: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 15:03 |

| edbian | stuartpb, The only way I see how is to change the driver. | 15:43 |
| stuartpb | edbian: what would be involved in doing that? | 15:44 |
| edbian | stuartpb, Your keyboard has a 'layout' which is (i believe) built into the driver. The layout is basically a lookup table. | 15:44 |
| pietro10 | maco: here's the thing: I want to run some software synths I found on the USC, but programs I write use portuadio | 15:45 |
| proxx | suartb lookup at xmodmap | 15:45 |
| maco | pietro10: because the jackd package pulls in jack2 by default and portaudio19-dev needs jackd1 | 15:45 |
| edbian | stuartpb, 1 learn programming, 2 learn systems programming, 3 get the source for your keyboard driver, 4 understand that source, 5 make the changes necessary (this is probably the easy part) | 15:45 |
| edbian | stuartpb, recompile / use your editing driver. | 15:45 |
| dury | be back pretty soon | 15:45 |
| stuartpb | i already did 1 and 2, where can I get 3 | 15:45 |
| dury | byeeeee :) | 15:45 |

| pietro10 | maco: so would it be safe to try jackd1 and hope it works? | 15:46 |
| maco | pietro10: yep | 15:46 |
| dury | geboy: cheers :) | 15:46 |
| pietro10 | ok thanks; trying | 15:46 |
| edbian | stuartpb, oh excellent! :) Figuring out the driver is a bit complicated. Is the keyboard listed in lspci? enable the source repos if they're not already. | 15:46 |

| maco | Adm: "sudo visudo" will open a text editor | 15:51 |
| edbian | stuartpb, Yeah I as afraid of that. Perhaps we can just find it by guessing smartly in lsmod. | 15:51 |

| Adm | which commands | 15:52 |
| edbian | stuartpb, hmmmmm | 15:52 |
| goltoof | Adm: first take a look at man visudo | 15:53 |
| edbian | stuartpb, I'm just gonna google it. Likely that one driver handles all keyboards since they're identical by now anyway. | 15:53 |

| pyghassen | maco, I need this one | 15:54 |
| maco | Adm: the bit lower down about %admin also implies you could just add the user to the admin group | 15:54 |

| lucas_ | Hi, i installed windows 7 on a second hdd, but now grub wont find it, how can i fix this, i already did update-grub | 16:25 |

| === mike_ is now known as Guest62129 | ||
| coz_ | lucas_, you installed windows 7 after you had ubuntu installed ...yes? | 16:25 |
| rezolute | I thought nvidia was supposed to always be a better choice in the linux world? the radeon 4xxx series are well supported? | 16:26 |
| lucas_ | coz_ i will explain my current situation, i had 1 drive with windows and linux, got a new hdd and installed windows on it. ( had to disable my old hdd due to not completing setup otherwise ) | 16:26 |
| lucas_ | and now i do sudo apt-get update-grub | 16:26 |
| lucas_ | but it only finds 1 windows | 16:26 |
| lucas_ | the old one | 16:26 |
| goltoof | every time i click anywhere in Places menu it opens mplayer, which in turn tries to open a few thousand files in /home.... thoughts? | 16:26 |
| lucas_ | while i need to boot the new one | 16:26 |
| erUSUL | rezolute: radeons have free ( as in freedom ) drivers. for some of us that's a big plus ;P. the nvidia should be well supported too | 16:26 |

| Roasted | asddf123, on what exactly? | 16:57 |
| AmberJ | Anyone? | 16:57 |
| greenIT | can any1 say me if i can use a canonscan lide 100 (not 110) with ubuntu? | 16:57 |
| goltoof | !anyone | 16:57 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:57 |
| asddf123 | Roasted: with ubuntu. probably. with a system like gentoo where you compile everything so that it is hardware specific - then no. as the hardware most likely would not be the same. | 16:57 |
| iFith | Okay, what's the magic that makes gnome generate desktop icons for some partitions "540GB Filesystem" and not for others? | 16:57 |
| sumitkv2 | i installed ubutu 10.10 alongside windows xp using wubi...but now when i boot into ubuntu i get a GRUB> prompt,,,,what to do? | 16:58 |
| Roasted | asddf123, so if I stick with your "average" linux distro, like fedora, opensuse, ubuntu, debian, etc., I SHOULD be okay? | 16:58 |
| fixer_33 | witam | 16:58 |
| lock | ikonia: im not going to stop as long as someone is trying to address the issue | 16:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted: the kernel is modular, so it will detect the hardware and load whats needed | 16:58 |
| studiotoys | hello | 16:58 |
| histo | greenIT: did you try the live cd and see if it works? | 16:58 |
| Roasted | ikonia, gotcha. thanks! | 16:58 |
| lock | this is just as much a ubuntu issue as it is BT4 | 16:58 |
| aboleth | hi it's me again | 16:58 |
| histo | greenIT: it mostly depends on if sane has support for it yet | 16:58 |
| asddf123 | ikonia: but what if the HD doesn't have the appropriate drivers etc | 16:58 |
| ikonia | asddf123: then it won't boot | 16:59 |
| Flyingwatermelon | what the term for uninstalling something on *nix | 16:59 |
| histo | greenIT: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html | 16:59 |
| ikonia | asddf123: but then it wouldn't have booted with any distro if the hardware is unsupported | 16:59 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: could you help me put the image on the external hd without it screwing up like last time? | 16:59 |
| greenIT | histo: i don't have a canonscan scanner, i am just thinking about getting one and wanted to know if i can scan with ubuntu | 16:59 |
| asddf123 | ikonia: what if ikonia a user compiled the kernel for a specific system. in that situation obviously the setup wouldn't work on a different PC. eg; gentoo | 16:59 |
| histo | greenIT: looks like it's unsupported with sane. canon has horrible linux support | 16:59 |
| goltoof | Flyingwatermelon: sudo apt-get remove --purge [package] | 16:59 |
| studiotoys | im trying to create a r00 archive with rar, could someone please help with this command rar a -vn m0 md15000 rarfile rarfile.avi | 17:00 |
| ikonia | asddf123: errrr then it won't work, as it's to a specific system, obviously | 17:00 |
| histo | greenIT: if you check out the link I just sent it lists manufacturers and scanners and whether they are supported or not. | 17:00 |
| greenIT | histo: thx, for know i have a lexmark all-in-one and it is unsupported too^^ | 17:00 |
| Flyingwatermelon | goltoof why does it put icons on my desktop when i open something? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | asddf123: you can move gentoo around, if the kernel is built modular | 17:00 |
| goltoof | Flyingwatermelon: define something | 17:00 |
| iFith | greenIT: I've had good luck with Epson scanners in the past, but definately check out the SANE hardware support before you buy :) | 17:00 |
| zani | my pc crashes when booting, is there anyone here who wants to help me? | 17:00 |
| greenIT | ifith: thx :) | 17:00 |
| Flyingwatermelon | goltoof i open partition_1 and an icon of partition_1 is placed on my desktop | 17:01 |
| greenIT | cya | 17:01 |
| asddf123 | ikonia: well yeah my point was just that: it depends. with an ubuntu distro it should be fine, but if it is compiled specifically, no. | 17:01 |
| ikonia | asddf123: thats just common sense, ANY distro will boot on any machine, unless you build it for a specific machine only, | 17:01 |
| goltoof | Flyingwatermelon: opening/mounting a partition one puts an icon on the desktop, the icon will disappear when the partition is removed | 17:01 |
| Agent001 | I need help becoming a professional linux user | 17:01 |
| asddf123 | ikonia: but by default in gentoo do you not have to compile the kernel for a specific machine? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Agent001: this is a support channel for ubuntu issue | 17:02 |
| goltoof | Flyingwatermelon: ie, whenever you plug in a thumb drive | 17:02 |
| Agent001 | It is an ubuntu issue | 17:02 |
| ikonia | asddf123: no, you can compile the kernel how you want, lets take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue | 17:02 |
| networks | you can get professional training thru canoical | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Agent001: then ask | 17:02 |

| histo | sumitkv2: have you tried asking in the forums? | 17:03 |
| networks | i haven't compiled a kernel manually since slackare 3.4 | 17:03 |
| ikonia | Agent001: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, just use the distro and learn | 17:03 |
| networks | or maybe slack 4 | 17:03 |
| goltoof | Agent001: use ubuntu | 17:03 |
| networks | ubuntu is great | 17:03 |
| networks | but i feel fedora is better with RAID | 17:03 |
| sumitkv2 | histo, yeah!!!not much help there!! | 17:03 |

| Flyingwatermelon | rocket16, just did that but i dont see a meter | 17:14 |
| goltoof | clu3: the battery indicator should appear by default, especially if you just installed. gnome-panel has somewhat of a buggy history, and stuff disappears for no good reason.. | 17:14 |
| tijuanense | Sad but true! | 17:14 |
| clu3 | rocket16, it just shows an icon that looks like like a thunder. not a percentage can be seen | 17:14 |

| andycc | kitrana: I don't think you can do that with cairo dock, but you can keep a panel open on autohide | 17:52 |
| erUSUL | Strangebrew: it does support usb3; about the pcmia card bit... i dunno. | 17:52 |
| kitrana | andycc yeah except the panel thing ruins my nice look and covers the close button every time i need it, which is only for one damned thing now | 17:53 |

| thegodlikehobo | How could I disable the "restart required" circular-blue-arrow-icon in the gnome panel? | 17:59 |
| Milos_SD | Hi | 17:59 |
| === michaelc is now known as callahan | ||
| ZykoticK9 | thegodlikehobo, 10.04 and 10.10 use a different notification - power turn red (so one way would be to upgrade) | 18:00 |
| Milos_SD | I installed compiz 0.9.2 from Unity PPA, but I don't know how to start it. Fusion-icon doesn't work, and from Appearance -> Visual Effects it says it can't start it | 18:00 |
| stefanos | how to install the Nvidia96 drivers for ubuntu 10.10? | 18:00 |
| aeon-ltd | Milos_SD: compiz --replace | 18:00 |
| thegodlikehobo | ZykoticK9: I got rid of the power icon redness by rm'ing /var/run/reboot-required, but the blue arrow seems to be controlled my something else. | 18:01 |
| goltoof | thegodlikehobo: personally i like knowing when it's good to restart my system ^_^ | 18:01 |
| thegodlikehobo | goltoof: well, in this case i don't need to :p | 18:01 |
| Milos_SD | aeon-ltd, that doesn't work :) | 18:01 |
| goltoof | thegodlikehobo: oic | 18:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | thegodlikehobo, sorry i have no idea - i haven't see that blue one for a long time. best of luck man. | 18:01 |
| sirdustin | hi | 18:01 |
| raskol | I am using multiple repositories. Is there a way to see which repository a specific package is coming from? | 18:01 |
| abdelkhalak | when i type the command, fdisk -l, i get this error message: | 18:02 |
| abdelkhalak | <abdelkhalak> Warning: Partition 6 does not end on cylinder boundary. any idea? | 18:02 |
| thegodlikehobo | ZykoticK9: might have something to do with me using the old-style update notifications (orange synaptic icon in tray) so I'll look into that. thanks. | 18:02 |
| sirdustin | how do i get a usb flash drive to work with ubuntu | 18:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | raskol, "apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME" and see the link provided | 18:02 |
| sirdustin | like out it on there ? | 18:02 |

| JediMaster | hi all, quick question, what is the hd-media version of the ubuntu installer? and how is it different from the live image? | 18:04 |
| majid | Is there any Ubuntu user who experienced mouse freezing during the work? I'm going crazy! How can I solve this huge problem? | 18:05 |
| willemb | Hi. I just installed lucid, installed nvidia drivers, upgraded to meerkat, uninstalled the nvidia driver, could not re-install it with jockey, replaced the fx5200 with a radeon 9800 and jockey still does not present me with any drivers. what can I do? | 18:05 |
| liberalstoner | ok here is my issue (new to linux) I got Dev c++ for windows but non of my source codes will run in linux | 18:05 |
| IsmAvatar | surprise, C++ sometimes needs rewriting for a different OS. | 18:05 |
| lock | if i delete the partitions on which ubuntu resides, will that screw up the windows boot? | 18:05 |
| lock | or will ntldr resume its duties? | 18:06 |
| lock | *original place as the sole bootloader | 18:06 |
| lock | !grub | 18:06 |
| 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. | 18:06 |
| raskol | lock: if windows loader is the first bootloader it comes across it will continue to work, if it doesn't look for where windows loader is (or finds another loader first, like a GRUB that has no /boot partition to load) it will not be nice | 18:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | lock, you should ask in ##windows how to reinstall the windows boot loader, after removing the linux partition(s) | 18:07 |
| IsmAvatar | liberalstoner: you might try asking your C/++ questions on ##c or ##c++ or ##c++-basic | 18:07 |
| sirdustin | yeah but i get the iso in there but it seems that i need to compile (9.10) does ubuntu(10.04 and 10.10) any better i am not very good at compileing | 18:07 |
| liberalstoner | even if i type out the code it doesn't run? does linux not surrport iostream? | 18:07 |
| goltoof | lol | 18:07 |
| MarkSS | I have a padlock on a folder. What does that mean? | 18:07 |
| v0lksman | I did an update this morning that required a reboot...after reboot Compiz will not load. A) how do I find out what packages were upgraded? and b) any docs on troubleshooting compiz/nvidia? | 18:08 |
| clu3_ | hi all, im trying out this fnfxd for toshiba laptop daemin, and it says this error: "Please make sure that your kernel has enabled the Toshiba option in the ACPI section" | 18:08 |
| clu3_ | what should i do? | 18:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | MarkSS, the lock says you can't write to it (i believe) | 18:08 |
| willemb | let me put that another way: which driver should I be using on a radeon 9800 pro? | 18:08 |
| lock | ahh, so if i del linux partition, ntldr wont automatically be found and ran? | 18:08 |
| majid | Is there any Ubuntu user who experienced mouse freezing during the work? I'm going crazy! How can I solve this huge problem? | 18:08 |
| MarkSS | How do I write to it? It belongs to root. It won't let me delete it, copy it or anything | 18:08 |
| willemb | majid: your keyboard keeps on working? | 18:08 |
| stefanos | how can i install this driver? | 18:08 |
| stefanos | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-96.43.19-driver.html | 18:09 |
| majid | willemb , Yes. It works. | 18:09 |
| goltoof | majid: it's a sign you should use terminal more often ;) | 18:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | MarkSS, in a terminal, "sudo chown YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSENAME FolderName" | 18:09 |
| DK | lol | 18:09 |
| willemb | majid: there should be a clue about what is wrong in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages. maybe even in the output of 'dmesg' | 18:09 |
| stefanos | any help? | 18:09 |
| Flyingwatermelon | what do i do to remove old versions from grub? | 18:10 |
| v0lksman | Flyingwatermelon, try Ubuntu Tweak | 18:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Flyingwatermelon, use Ubuntu Software Center to remove the old images (search for linux-image) - it's a good idea to keep 2, current and a known working | 18:10 |
| v0lksman | or just remove the packages manually | 18:10 |
| DK | stefanos have you tried using additional drivers under Admin menu? | 18:11 |
| MarkSS | If one Ubuntu partition is compromised, is it possible for the "bad person" to reach across into another partition from that one and access stuff? | 18:11 |
| stefanos | y | 18:11 |
| stefanos | but this version on this site is unbugged | 18:11 |
| stefanos | thats why i want to use it | 18:11 |
| Flyingwatermelon | ZykoticK9, how do i know which is the most current ? | 18:12 |
| clu3_ | someone pls tell me what "Please make sure that your kernel has enabled the Toshiba option in the ACPI section" means? | 18:12 |
| DK | stefanos: I'm not sure which version I got but it was under additional drivers. Haven't tried the manual load. | 18:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | Flyingwatermelon, the highest number (i'd write down what you currently have listed in Grub2 menu) | 18:13 |
| FattyJoe | hi all, I need help with the xbox360 controller, can you help me? | 18:13 |
| erUSUL | clu3_: grep TOSHIBA /boot/config* --> /boot/config-2.6.32-25-generic:CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m <<< looks like it does | 18:13 |
| goltoof | FattyJoe: can't see how that is on topic, but.. | 18:13 |
| majid | willemb , I couldn't find any thing there! | 18:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | stefanos, i'm under the impression that the new Xorg version requires updated Nvidia drivers (so i don't think 96 version will work) BUT I certainly could be wrong on this. | 18:13 |
| Flyingwatermelon | ZykoticK9, how can i tell what will show up on the grub menu? | 18:14 |
| FattyJoe | goltoof: the malfunction i think depends to xorg input, so i ask here, if i'm wrong tell me where ask that :) | 18:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Flyingwatermelon, after uninstalling a kernel version - the installer should automatically run grub-update and remove it from grub list | 18:14 |
| goltoof | FattyJoe: oh, i thought you meant the physical controller | 18:14 |
| goltoof | lol | 18:15 |
| clu3_ | erUSUL, so should i just change that to =y to have it enabled? | 18:15 |
| lock | i thought the same thing | 18:15 |
| FattyJoe | nono, the gamepad works fine, but ubuntu 10.10 seems to have a bug | 18:15 |
| Flyingwatermelon | ZykoticK9, how can I check without restarting? | 18:15 |
| erUSUL | clu3_: no; that just tell you that the ubuntu kernel does indeed have it enabled ( as (M)odule == loadable driver ) | 18:15 |
| FattyJoe | the gamepad "take the control" of the mouse and i can't use it | 18:15 |
| willemb | majid: if you unplug it and put it back, does it work again? | 18:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | Flyingwatermelon, I don't know. | 18:15 |
| erUSUL | clu3_: so you do not have to make anything. unless perhaps make sure it is loaded « lsmod | grep toshiba » | 18:16 |
| dwxreaper | how come in gnome when I click places>computer or desktop or home | 18:16 |

I hard reset and then had vertical blank lines on the POST screen and the OS. I rebooted into Windows and saw different behavior where screen looked about like it was on a closed circuit camera.

It came in a .bz2 and I opened it up and grabbed the folder out of it and then click on the bot. I am worried it could be something bad. Can't see the code.

| Cygn | IsmAvatar: i think the whole thing is acceptable... windows boot's fine, would be just a nice cosmetic thing | 18:34 |
| red2kic | ahtmly2k: That was for you -- Try HIDEMYASS link. | 18:34 |
| IsmAvatar | Cygn: I don't understand what you said. | 18:35 |
| DragonKeeper | mkquist its ok but still relevant is you know how to get the 360 wired headset to work | 18:35 |
| Boo99039 | what is the topic | 18:36 |
| red2kic | Boo99039: Type /topic | 18:36 |
| Cygn | ismAvatar: When i start "Legacy OS" , i get Grub where i can choose windows 7 and everything works fine... but it would have been a nicer way, if i could choose everything out of refit | 18:36 |
| Pici | Boo99039: This is the official Ubuntu support channel. | 18:36 |
| Boo99039 | ok | 18:36 |
| IsmAvatar | Cygn: What program does the first partition choosing? The one that shows Legacy OS? | 18:37 |
| Boo99039 | what is parameter | 18:37 |
| _jesse_ | Boo99039: stop | 18:37 |
| myrkraverk | Repeating myself: Is there any way to change the keybinding of the shutdown button from meta-s to something else? | 18:37 |
| myrkraverk | My alt and meta keys are different. | 18:37 |
| Cygn | IsmAvatar: rEFit | 18:37 |
| noob | hi, i've got a problem with booting ubuntu 10.10, the installation went good, but it cannot boot and hangs with a black screen with a white underscore flicking on and off. It's the only OS installed on the disk. | 18:37 |
| kittkatt | Is anyone out there using a PCE-N13 wireless card for their wifi? | 18:37 |
| tje2 | Not sure yet, but it looks like it is part of libstdc++ | 18:37 |
| Pici | myrkraverk: Do you see that as an entry in System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts? | 18:37 |
| tje2 | Keeping my fingers crossed. | 18:37 |
| myrkraverk | Pici:: No. | 18:37 |
| kerryhatcher | Hello, I'm having an issue with a text file. It is located at http://netbluehosting.com/sites/default/files/nano2010.txt . gEdit won't open it at all | 18:38 |
| Cygn | IsmAvatar: interesting, booting "Legacy OS" has exactly the same effekt like booting Unix, Grub is shown | 18:38 |
| IsmAvatar | Cygn: I don't know if you can replace rEFit with Grub perhaps, but you might have more luck asking on a rEFit support channel. | 18:38 |
| Cygn | IsmAvatar: There isn't one :( | 18:38 |
| _jesse_ | kerryhatcher: that is a binary file | 18:38 |
| _jesse_ | kerryhatcher: not a text file | 18:38 |
| IsmAvatar | Cygn: mailing list, etc? | 18:38 |
| kerryhatcher | it is a text file. It was written using FocusWriter and has opened with gedit before | 18:39 |
| _jesse_ | kerryhatcher: what is focuswriter? | 18:39 |
| leealis | hello everyone | 18:39 |
| IsmAvatar | Cygn: maybe try asking these guys to see if they know how to replace rEFit with grub | 18:39 |
| leealis | im having the hardest time trying to blacklist my intel video card | 18:39 |
| rocket16 | Hi lee | 18:39 |
| coz_ | leealis, why are you trying to blacklist the video card? | 18:39 |
| IsmAvatar | Cygn: otherwise, that's the best I can help. | 18:39 |
| kerryhatcher | It is a simple text editor for Writers who use linux. Kinda like scrivner on mac. http://gottcode.org/focuswriter/ | 18:40 |
| leealis | because i have 2 | 18:40 |
| Cygn | IsmAvatar: Its an idea i will try my luck , thank you very much | 18:40 |
| leealis | i have the intel and nvidia | 18:40 |
| my_haz | Using Skype in Intrepid, i could talk into my laptop's speakers and use them as a mic (headphones as headphones), in Meerkat i the speakers only work to make noise not as a microphone, how do i make the laptop speakers work as a microphone? | 18:40 |
| leealis | plug your speakers into the microphone slot | 18:40 |
| coz_ | leealis, oh ok then the best thing to do is to remove the nvidia driver and use the intel card but let me check online just in case hold on | 18:40 |
| _jesse_ | kerryhatcher: that is definitely not a valid text file | 18:40 |
| _jesse_ | kerryhatcher: maybe it was corrupted | 18:40 |
| leealis | yes sir! | 18:40 |
| my_haz | leealis: i i am talking about the built in speakers | 18:40 |
| leealis | ohhh | 18:40 |
| leealis | i see | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | leealis, are you trying to use a different card like apci rather than an onboard? if so set pci card as default in your BIOS | 18:40 |
| leealis | i dont have that option in my bios | 18:41 |
| coz_ | leealis, is the nvidia card onboard or pcie or agp? | 18:41 |
| noob | hi, i've got a problem with booting ubuntu 10.10, the installation went good, but it cannot boot and hangs with a black screen with a white underscore flicking on and off. It's the only OS installed on the disk. anyone ? | 18:41 |
| kerryhatcher | That is what I'm thinking. Any ideas on how to recover it. It was 33,000 words. Seams like a text file would be the easiest thing to recover. Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624617 | 18:41 |
| ste | server devilirc | 18:41 |
| kerryhatcher | Thanks for the help BTW | 18:41 |
| leealis | umm. well its a laptop so they're both on board i guess | 18:41 |
| === szymon_ is now known as jeff__ | ||
| coz_ | leealis, ok yes ,, I have seen this before hold on | 18:42 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: Seems like you're trying to defeat the purpose of FocusWriter by bringing up so-called clutter interfaces. :( | 18:42 |
| kerryhatcher | huh? | 18:42 |
| ste | join #aquilone | 18:42 |
| _jesse_ | kerryhatcher: I don't have any experience recovering files on ubuntu; looks like some others are helping you in the thread though | 18:42 |
| HaPK_PerCar | pidgin is giving me problems... when I try to log in with my Windows Live account it says that it couldn't authenticate... the username and the password are right, and I can connect with Empathy. any ideas? | 18:42 |
| Slartibart | Can anyone explain what playbin is? I get an error about that when I try to start GnoMenu on 10.04. When I tried it on my 9.10 livecd it did work though, so is it possible that I need to reinstall something(checked updates)? If so how do I find out what to reinstall? | 18:42 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: Can't you open it with FocusWriter though? | 18:43 |
| kerryhatcher | The last few lines of the file are there but everything else is gibberish, same result with vim and cat | 18:43 |
| === sebner_ is now known as sebner | ||

| padhu | HaPK_PerCar: check port number and disable using of gnome proxy | 18:43 |
| leealis | okay lol take your time | 18:44 |
| IsmAvatar | Hey guys, I'm wondering why I'm getting messages appearing during the boot screen with the dots? For instance, one of them said "Staring winbind daemon winbind" but I couldn't find a log of that message in /var/logs or dmesg. | 18:44 |
| HaPK_PerCar | padhu, port number is 1863, is that right? | 18:44 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: I see. You lost the file. I would think. | 18:45 |
| noob | hi, i've got a problem with booting ubuntu 10.10, the installation went good, but it cannot boot and hangs with a black screen with a white underscore flicking on and off. It's the only OS installed on the disk. anyone ? | 18:45 |
| coz_ | leealis, in the bios ..there should be a setting to disable one or the other video chipset...did you check there??? | 18:45 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: Those last sentences are probably the latest additions to the now-corrupted file. I'm saying what I'm thinking. | 18:46 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: when it hangs, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. That should get you into a terminal. | 18:46 |
| padhu | HaPK_PerCar: 6667 | 18:46 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: If so, maybe something wrong with the video driver. | 18:46 |
| mjkent | i need someone who is pretty pro with bash: how can i inject keystrokes into it?(running latest ubuntu server build) | 18:46 |
| coz_ | leealis, out of curiosity in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 18:46 |
| leealis | yes i did check there. when i go into my bios the only option it has is it says. VGA. and under the VGA is says hybrid works only in windows | 18:46 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: You could try and contact Graeme Gott -- The developer for FocusWriter. If he added something that cause it -- that could be the culprit. Good luck. | 18:47 |
| leealis | type that in | 18:47 |
| leealis | ? | 18:47 |
| coz_ | leealis, mmm ok hold on | 18:47 |
| Pici | mjkent: Using 'expect'? You may want to ask in #bash though for the real gurus. | 18:47 |
| leealis | ok | 18:47 |
| kerryhatcher | red2kic: that would make sense. Here is what happend: Girlfriend is writing in FocusWriter, GF saves file, GF closes FW, GF does a hard power off cuz she didn't know that was a bad thing to do. | 18:47 |
| mjkent | Pici: thanks, i'll look into that and switch over to #bash on freenode | 18:47 |
| leealis | coz_: i typed in that vga and it still says my intel is being used | 18:47 |
| kerryhatcher | Reboots and bam | 18:48 |
| mjkent | join #bash | 18:48 |
| triorieel | I have my desktop effects enabled but they are not doing anything. could this be because there is an 'ON' key I don't know about? having 2 video cards? or something else? | 18:48 |
| noob | IsmAvatar, ok. i will reboot, press ctrl+alt+f1 and if i get in a terminal it would be something with the video driver... if that is the case, would it be a good thing to test if i can boot without the card and use the onboard chip instead ? if it doesnt work, how can i get the right driver(s) for it from the terminal ? | 18:49 |
| Cygn | oh crap | 18:49 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: Instruct your girlfriend not to do that again. NO MORE HARD POWER. Teach her to shut down properly. | 18:49 |
| Cygn | no ubuntu is missing :( | 18:49 |
| Cygn | now | 18:49 |
| goltoof | language! | 18:49 |
| red2kic | kerryhatcher: But as for the file -- well. I only can hope she did not type far enough. | 18:49 |
| coz_ | leealis, mm as I thought ,,, and has I have suggested in the past... use the intel card and remove the nvidia driver... again ..is there a reason you dont want to use the intel video??? | 18:49 |
| leealis | i just wanted to experiment with some games through wine and see how the fps stacked up | 18:50 |
| kerryhatcher | red2kick: O I did.... | 18:50 |
| goltoof | how do i limit a user to one directory and all subdirs with rwx? | 18:50 |
| leealis | how do i purge the nvidia now | 18:51 |
| coz_ | leealis, ah understood... off hand I cant think of anyway of blacklisting the intel onboard video over the nvidia onboard,,, there most certainly should be a way of doing this... ah try the ##linux channel to see if they can deal with issue and let me know if they come up with a solution | 18:51 |
| leealis | i know the command but what is nvidia called | 18:51 |
| leealis | ok | 18:51 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: It can't hurt to try the onboard chip instead. Once in the terminal, you can use apt-get to install some software that might help you along, like "link" which is a cli web browser, and then a cli irc client, like irssi or weechat or bitchx or epic - so you can talk to us from there if you'd like. | 18:52 |
| coz_ | leealis, in the mean time I will keep seraching | 18:52 |
| leealis | okay | 18:52 |
| leealis | so to remove the nvidia what file is it called? | 18:52 |
| rougeleaf | I have tried to extract a file, and once its complete the folder is empty | 18:52 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: I'm not very good with installing video drivers, though, so once you're there, it'd be best to ask someone else on this cahnnel | 18:52 |
| IsmAvatar | channel* | 18:53 |
| andycc | noob: use irssi for irc, elinks for web browsing on the console. | 18:53 |

| noob | IsmAvatar, i have read about it i guess, sounds familiar but i cannot remember anything of it so i guess not | 18:54 |
| geboy | how to take of all the hash lines in a file and how to batch commands in terminal? | 18:54 |
| geboy | hello | 18:54 |
| rougeleaf | are there any size restrictions? | 18:55 |
| abdelkhalak | help | 18:55 |
| bash_ | geboy, use sed | 18:55 |
| abdelkhalak | when i type the command, fdisk -l, i get this error message: | 18:55 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: it's used to install programs, so you don't need to go to the program's website, download it, and install it or anything. You just use apt-get and magic happens. | 18:55 |

| goltoof | rougeleaf: not that i know of | 18:56 |
| lockersnatch | spope: well, this is a journaling filesystem | 18:56 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: you'll want to use it to install a web browser and an irc client that you can use from the command line. To do this, `sudo apt-get install irssi elinks` without quotes. It'll ask for your password and then it'll ask if you're sure you want to install (hit the Y key and press enter). | 18:56 |
| noob | IsmAvatar, i am reading about it now, i should type 'apt-get install irssi' right ? | 18:56 |
| rougeleaf | How does one do a check sum of a file? | 18:57 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: prepend with `sudo ` because apt-get requires root priviledges | 18:57 |
| lockersnatch | spope: maybe it is the FS updating its DB | 18:57 |
| tje2 | rougeleaf, man md5sum | 18:57 |
| aeon-ltd | !md4 | rougeleaf | 18:57 |
| tje2 | or man sha1sum | 18:57 |

| lockersnatch | woah now | 18:58 |
| aeon-ltd | !ru | waal | 18:58 |
| spope | lockersnatch, what do you mean FD updating in DB? | 18:59 |
| noob | IsmAvatar, allright, i think i understand it, so i need to type sudo before it because of priviledges and in your example it will install the irc client and a browser (irssi and elinks) right ? | 18:59 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: once they are installed, you should then be able to simply type `irssi` to get your irc client running, and it should ask you for the stuff you need to get you to this channel. You can use tty2 to multitask with the web browser while you're still in IRC. To do this, hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open tty2. Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to tty1 with your irc client again. | 18:59 |
| spope | what is a good way of diagnosing slowness and why its happening? | 18:59 |
| bash_ | geboy, hashed lines you mean lines that start with # ? | 18:59 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: correct | 18:59 |
| bash_ | geboy, you want to remove comments | 18:59 |
| lockersnatch | spope: it might be the filesystem updating its database of existing files | 18:59 |
| geboy | bash_: yes, absolutely correct | 18:59 |
| noob | IsmAvatar, allright, i hope i'll be back here in about 10 minutes saying it worked, or that im in the terminal ;) | 19:00 |
| lockersnatch | spope: because this is a journaling filesystem | 19:00 |
| noob | IsmAvatar, thanks :) | 19:00 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: sorry, tty2 means `terminal 2`. Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6 are your 6 ttys. | 19:00 |
| geboy | bash: i want to clean some conf files | 19:00 |
| goltoof | spope: top | 19:00 |
| verbeck | anyone know when the forum will be back? | 19:00 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: good luck. We can help you more when you come back. | 19:01 |
| noob | IsmAvatar, should i try all six of them if the f1 doesnt work then ? | 19:01 |
| lockersnatch | spope: yes, what goltoof said, run 'top' and you can see a live view of processes currently running on your system | 19:01 |
| bash_ | sed -i -e '/^#/d' your_file | 19:01 |
| Pici | verbeck: They're working now. | 19:01 |
| lockersnatch | spope: very similar to 'task manager' in windows | 19:01 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: No. If F1 doesn't work, none of them will, and you have a problem deeper than a display driver. | 19:01 |
| bash_ | geboy, sed -i -e '/^#/d' your_file | 19:01 |
| IsmAvatar | noob: although it won't hurt to try the other 5 | 19:01 |
| bash_ | geboy, will remove all lines that start with # | 19:02 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: are you here yet, i'm trying to figure out gddrescue on my own and it looks quite daunting. i would really appreciate your help | 19:02 |

| noob | IsmAvatar, lets hope it's not a deep problem since i am a total newbie, anyways, thanks. i'm giving it a shot | 19:02 |
| verbeck | Pici: thanx | 19:02 |
| geboy | bash_: thanks alot | 19:03 |

| sumitkv2 | i installed ubuntu 10.10 inside windows Xp....but when i boot into it....i end up with a prompt... GRUB> ......what is wrong....??please help!! | 19:03 |
| goltoof | lockersnatch: well you can't right click and kill a process.. takes a little more elbow grease | 19:03 |
| spope | <lockersnatch, im using top now, its always apache, mysql and kjournal2 right at the top, but how do I confirm one of them is not working improplerly, oppsed to the machine just being slow? | 19:04 |
| lockersnatch | goltoof: i think you're splitting hairs, i was just trying to make an analogy that might be easier for windows users to understand | 19:04 |
| goltoof | spope: are you using apache? | 19:04 |
| IsmAvatar | Hey guys, I'm wondering why I'm getting messages appearing during the boot screen with the dots? For instance, one of them said "Staring winbind daemon winbind" but I couldn't find a log of that message in /var/logs or dmesg. | 19:04 |
| MikeHoncho | You installed it inside of Windows XP, what does that mean? VMWare? | 19:05 |
| lockersnatch | MikeHoncho: virtual machine ware | 19:05 |
| spope | goltoof, yes its a lamp box | 19:05 |
| MikeHoncho | lockersnatch : I know what VMWare is. I was asking the guy who said he installed Ubuntu inside of XP. | 19:06 |
| goltoof | !relax | lockersnatch ... i was only referencing the fact that windows task manager is gui, ubuntu tools are mostly cli.. and in turn more powerful | 19:06 |
| erUSUL | IsmAvatar: messages from the init system are susually lost/ not logged anywhere | 19:06 |
| jk_ | MikeHoncho, or more likely using wubi | 19:06 |
| lockersnatch | oh im cool man, was just trying to keep it simple for him | 19:06 |
| goltoof | spope: update apache/mysql etc, make sure you're not doing anything that might be taxing it | 19:07 |
| IsmAvatar | erUSUL: then what use are they? Why do they bother appearing there? They go by so fast that I can't read more than 1 of them. | 19:07 |
| spope | ive already run apt upgrade | 19:07 |
| erUSUL | IsmAvatar: well a ubuntu system with splash should not show them | 19:07 |
| spope | its running the same software another VM is running, but the other box isn't as slow | 19:07 |
| lockersnatch | spope: have you googled what kjournal2 is and what it does? | 19:08 |
| mansoluvlucid | sumitkv2:what you used for installing ubuntu 10.04 inside Windows XP ? Is it a wubi installation? | 19:08 |
| spope | yea, its a kernel level filesystem process | 19:08 |
| sumitkv2 | mansoluvlucid, yeah!!!wubi it is! | 19:08 |
| goltoof | spope: why would be running it on two machines? | 19:08 |
| IsmAvatar | erUSUL: It... kinda does have a splash. It's a purple screen with the word "Ubuntu" in the middle and 4 dots below it, but it looks like it's just text. Primped down a bit from the 10.04 splash screen... | 19:09 |
| spope | production and dev | 19:09 |
| spope | I have two VMs, one is production (which is running fast), and the dev box is running really slow | 19:10 |
| goltoof | spope, no idea :) | 19:10 |
| spope | me either, all I can think of is there are more databases on the dev box and its casuing memory issues with mysql | 19:11 |
| spope | hitting the swap file a lot | 19:11 |
| goltoof | spope: that could be very likely.. sounds like bad db admin | 19:11 |
| jk_ | spope, are they on the same host? If so, they're probably competing for resources. While VMs are great, they do ultimitely depend on the host hardware, and that's a very finite resource. | 19:11 |
| goltoof | spope: you might try your luck in #mysql | 19:11 |

| bmw | hi all, I'm a linux newbie... and I ran into a real problem! I ahve been backing up linux for the last few months with Clonezilla... now my boss wants me to install re-install our setup onto a new server with a different processor, raid system etc... and I'm getting a gazillion errors...!! linux doesn't like all these changes... is there an old school method to use (TAR ??) | 20:24 |
| bmw | instead of a disk image, would this TAR method of backup and restore work? or is that just used for data files and not OS files... like will it resore my mysql installation, php stuff etc... or just the data files | 20:24 |
| arp | question, I have a src package that I need to make a custom change to, so I want to change the version. where in the src is the version set? I've tried changing debian/control, tried dpkg-buildpackage -vVERSION, there seems to be something overriding it. | 20:25 |

| bmw | doesn't support ext4 | 20:30 |
| bmw | :( | 20:30 |
| Pici | bmw: tar is just a file archiving tool. It would be like making zip files of different paths on your server, it would still be a manual task of figuring out what you needed to backup. | 20:30 |
| bmw | Pici: thats what i had thought :( | 20:30 |
| joshy_ | heh! I'm looking for a way to optimize my apt/sources.lst. Is there a tool for finding the best mirror? | 20:31 |

| lockersnatch | bmw: what r u trying to backup? | 20:31 |
| qzio | which is the best ssh key to use, rsa or dsa? | 20:31 |
| joshy_ | <joshy_> hmmm... apt-spy is no longer in the Ubuntu repository for releases newer than feisty. | 20:32 |
| bmw | Pici: I found this website, but not sure if this TAr command would backup everything http://www.aboutdebian.com/tar-backup.htm | 20:32 |
| Aut0ExeC | joshy_: apt-fast | 20:32 |
| Aut0ExeC | joshy_: its super fast bro | 20:32 |
| Aut0ExeC | :) | 20:32 |

| aboleth | Jordan_U: so what should i do now? | 20:59 |
| aboleth | hi | 20:59 |
| Jordan_U | Aeronius: It's very unlikely that 9.10 will get a newer major version of the kernel. | 20:59 |
| Nix82 | GeekyAdam: Try ps -ef | grep 15984 | 20:59 |
| Guest7479 | How can i find out what kernel module is loaded for a particular subsystem. I know i can use ismod and modinfo etc, but what i really want is a terminal command (or set of) to get the loaded module for say audio or video? Whats the best method? Can anyone help? | 20:59 |

| aksh1 | i am creating rootfs of ubuntu using rootstock command | 21:00 |
| alpine101 | i just got the impression they were hardware -- usb dongle (wireless keyboards) -- should work with ubuntu right? | 21:00 |
| Nix82 | GeekyAdam: Check your configuration file, it might be an issue there. Its normally /etc/vsftpd/conf/vsftpd.conf | 21:00 |
| aksh1 | is there any way to copy required deb packages to local system so that next time while creating rootfs i can use local path instaed of ubuntu repository | 21:00 |
| GeekyAdam | Nix82: already checked that out but just in case, ill delete it, remove vsftpd, then reinstall from apt-get for a new conf file | 21:01 |
| Jordan_U | Aeronius: I belive this will work with 9.10, though I haven't tested it myself: http://blog.glock.co.za/cgroup-user-space-speed-patch | 21:01 |

| extor | does ubuntu server have any of its own tools for managing VPSes? I'm looking for tools where I can allow different users to control and console to different guests/VPSes | 21:01 |
| Nix82 | GeekyAdam: If all else fails just use pureftpd, its clean and quick just like vsftpd. | 21:01 |
| GeekyAdam | Nix82: roger that, thx for the help | 21:01 |
| Nix82 | no problem | 21:02 |
| Flyounet | Barnabas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/534009/ | 21:02 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: The recommended minimum amount of RAM for Ubuntu is 1 GiG, so there is a chance that you ran out of memory even if ddrescue was writing to the drive. It's odd that it would leave a zero byte file in that case though. | 21:03 |
| Barnabas | Flyounet, I am an French language illiterate | 21:03 |
| Barnabas | but it seems you need dependenceis | 21:03 |
| Barnabas | dependencies | 21:03 |
| alpine101 | i'd be pretty sure actually that wireless keyboards just work the same as normal keyboards with ubuntu | 21:03 |
| Flyounet | Barnabas: Yes but they won't be installed | 21:03 |
| mikha_ | anyone to help me in pegdin ? | 21:04 |
| mikha_ | pidgin* | 21:04 |
| guntbert | alpine101: wireless keyboards/mice have a receiver which is connected to the computer - so from the computers' (OS) point of view they are not different | 21:04 |
| alpine101 | i am using pidgin -- whats the problem | 21:04 |
| alpine101 | ok thanks guntbert | 21:04 |
| mikha_ | alpine101: it give me cretificate error | 21:04 |
| mikha_ | ssl | 21:04 |
| Barnabas | Flyounet, perhaps the scrooge pkg you with to install refer to pkg to early for your system? | 21:04 |
| brontosaurusrex | any experience with runing maverick from usb flash drive in some sort of permanent manner? + is it hard to duplicate such system? | 21:05 |
| alpine101 | certificates are I beleive are 'security certificicates' to do with web authentificaciton -- not sure but some networks require authentification -- username password -- for instance freenode you need to register with a site -- if it's asking for a 'certificate' it's asking for security verification (who are you?) | 21:05 |
| brontosaurusrex | + can ram be alocated as some sort of storage? | 21:05 |
| Flyounet | Barnabas: probably, i discover with apt-cache policy that two repository give two versions of kde | 21:05 |
| alpine101 | maybe just completely reset up your security then analyse the specific error message | 21:06 |
| Barnabas | Flyounet, you should check your apt config then | 21:06 |
| Aeronius | Jordan_U: will it be in the latest version of Ubuntu? | 21:06 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: what should i do now? | 21:06 |
| CkhiKuzad | Is there a way to make the software center queue apps while others are installing, making it take half the time? | 21:06 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: You could try using a lighter weight LiveCD. grml is one I like and it comes with ddrescue on the CD. | 21:07 |
| Flyounet | Barnabas : 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 Packages & 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages | 21:07 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: does it still have a way to connect to irc on it? | 21:07 |
| GeekyAdam | CkhiKuzad: "sudo apt-get install -y app1 app2 app3" will install all 3 | 21:07 |

| CkhiKuzad | Geeky, I use apt a lot. I prefer it over SC because its faster. I want to figure out how to make the center download and install faster by hacking my own system | 21:09 |
| LjL | joshy_: you mean excluding the ones that were installed by default? i'm afraid not... | 21:09 |
| Flyounet | non | 21:09 |
| Flyounet | sorry | 21:09 |
| joshy_ | LjL: yess | 21:09 |
| Kaedon | Hi :) | 21:09 |
| LjL | joshy_: however you can know what packages were recently installed (in the last three days or so) by looking at /var/log/dpkg.log | 21:09 |
| hoden | Eclipse - Biss zum Abendrot | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | aboleth: Yes, though the included client appears to be irssi, which is terminal based and takes a bit to learn. | 21:10 |
| joshy_ | LjL: there i also get the updates... | 21:11 |
| hariom | Hi, I want to get the network icon from where I can connect Wireless/Ethernet/VPN etc. | 21:11 |

| hariom | I have network-manager and network-manager-gnome installed. | 21:12 |
| hariom | How to get connection initiator? | 21:12 |
| LjL | joshy_: yes, but upgrades are marked as such so you can exclude them. takes a bit of grepping i guess | 21:12 |
| Nokio | Hi all, Just asking a quick question to have some people opinion. My server are Ubuntu's. I want to know if there is a way that i can manage the windows destkop(update,installation of software etc.) close to what you could do with windows server? | 21:13 |

| aawef | hi b0gatyr | 21:15 |
| LjL | joshy_, entries for programs that are going to be newly installed will start with "install", while ones for upgrades start with "upgrade" | 21:15 |
| LjL | joshy_: example for install - 2010-10-18 19:55:52 install ttf-droid <none> 1.00~b112+dfsg-0ubuntu1 | 21:16 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: i'm trying that now, it sounds much easier | 21:16 |

| Wicked | hello all. im looking to install ubuntu 10.04 on a non computer savvy friends laptop. It has a ati radeon rs690m x1200 graphics card and im wondering what driver it should use to get the best performance. right now i have the livecd booted and it works well...but i dont think its using the ati driver...also under the hardware drivers in the menus it does not show anything | 21:22 |
| brian_ | Cant find a way to change the loging gui on Kubuntu 10.4 , anyone? | 21:22 |
| LjL | sec^nd: expr 2 + 2 | 21:22 |
| aboleth | Jordan_U: ok, well then i'll download grml and try everything on there | 21:22 |
| Wicked | i have alwasy had nvidia cards...so everything ati is new to me | 21:22 |
| === shane4ubuntu is now known as ubuntu4shane | ||
| Nokio | Wicked : normaly, on your first boot you should have a windows that pop up to install the driver. The same way if you had an nvidia card | 21:23 |
| Wicked | ok so thats normal for nothing to show up in the hardware drivers part in the livecd? | 21:23 |
| === ubuntu4shane is now known as shane4ubuntu | ||
| joshy_ | LjL: you are right... the log file is to big... but there is no difference between installing of dependences or normal install | 21:24 |
| Nokio | Wicked : that im not so sure | 21:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | Wicked, Nokio i thought ati users should stick with noveau stuff right now? | 21:24 |
| Wicked | my friend mostly uses this computer for web browsing/video watching and music...but id like to get all his hardware working as best it can | 21:24 |
| Nokio | brontosaurusrex, Wicked : im an all time nvidia user. so i cant tell :p but it is true that there is those nouveau driver available now | 21:25 |
| faustisch | what is the command for unwrapping your ext4 hdd passphrase? I remember it was something like unwrap-hdd-passphrase | 21:25 |
| Wicked | i thought the nouveau drivers where nvidia | 21:25 |
| LjL | joshy_: no, dpkg knows nothing about that. but there should be a list of things installed manually somewhere - aptitude has a command to obtain it | 21:25 |
| Barnabas | Flyounet, i386? | 21:25 |
| Flyounet | Barnabas: yes | 21:25 |
| Flyounet | Barnabas: On a Netbook MSI U135 | 21:26 |
| joshy_ | brian_: "Anmeldungsmanager" in german | 21:26 |
| joshy_ | brian_: in the systemsettings | 21:26 |
| joshy_ | brian_: in the advanced tab | 21:26 |
| Nokio | Wicked : i just asked to the guy next to me and you are right nouveau are for nvidia only for now | 21:26 |

| Barnabas | they work from here | 21:27 |

| fernando | hola | 22:06 |
| TONHOBUFFEN | alocado: In uninstalled pulse audio and it solved the problem | 22:06 |
| libeviltux-dev | Pininto: Then type: sudo apt-get update | 22:06 |
| kimael | slax000 try /join #bash | 22:06 |

| goltoof | kimael: don't see an icon in the top right? | 22:08 |
| goltoof | kimael: should be deactivated, right click to activate, left click to connect to network | 22:08 |

| TONHOBUFFEN | ahahahah! | 22:09 |
| kimael | goltoof: hmmm It is written "Networking disabled" (in french) and I can not really click or something. | 22:09 |
| kimael | Can I type commands to know my network status ? | 22:09 |
| gustavo-ferreira | TONHOBUFFEN: thank you a lot! | 22:09 |
| ewook | kimael: yes, ifconfig shows interfaces | 22:10 |
| TONHOBUFFEN | np, buida!!! ;) | 22:10 |
| kimael | What file contains the configuration? | 22:10 |
| ewook | kimael: /etc/network/interfaces | 22:10 |
| kimael | /etc/network/intefaces => auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback\n\nauto eth0 | 22:11 |
| GP40MC | How do u defrag? | 22:11 |
| kimael | and I don't event have ethernet connexion working when I plug a cable :'( | 22:11 |
| ewook | GP40MC: you don't with ext-fs | 22:11 |
| maedhros777 | so anyone know why programs i run with OpenGL always segfault? I have an ATI 4570 graphics card | 22:11 |
| kimael | DEFRAG is for Windows only. Good file systems to not fragment enough to need a defrag. | 22:12 |
| GP40MC | i use reiserfs? | 22:12 |
| ewook | GP40MC: doesn't need defraging either | 22:12 |

| Jordan_U | crawler: man xclip | 22:15 |
| Joh | what's the best way to do a complete back up of an ubuntu install, so that I can re write it to the drive and boot like normal? | 22:15 |
| Joh | is it necessary to use something like acronis true image? | 22:15 |
| crawler | Jordan_U: "No manual entry for xclip" | 22:16 |
| Jordan_U | crawler: sudo apt-get install xclip | 22:16 |
| crawler | Jordan_U: i don't really want to have to install another clipboard manager, but clear the existing one that's used in ubuntu | 22:16 |
| goltoof | kimael: right click > enable networking | 22:17 |
| crawler | it seems that xclipboard is already installed, but i get this when i try to run it: "xclipboard --help Error: another clipboard is already running" | 22:17 |
| crawler | so how do i tell which clipboard is already running? | 22:18 |
| Jordan_U | crawler: xclip manages the builtin X clipboard. | 22:18 |
| kimael | goltoof: I can not. | 22:18 |
| kimael | goltoof: is there a service I can run? a configuration I can check ? | 22:18 |
| goltoof | kimael: try this.. sudo pkill gnome-panel | 22:18 |
| crawler | Jordan_U: ok, i see. so there's no way to manipulate the contents of the x clipboard without installing a clipboard manager? | 22:19 |
| kimael | goltoof: I do not use Gnome | 22:19 |
| goltoof | kimael: curious why you can't even click the icon... buggy, buggery little gnome-panel | 22:19 |
| goltoof | kimael: oh what then? | 22:19 |
| kimael | goltoof: KDE sometimes, but here I use tty. | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | Joh: You can use "dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/backup.img" or there are many GUI backup tools that will do the same type of thing. There is no need to buy proprietary software. | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | !backup | Joh | 22:20 |
| kimael | as I think the problem could be coming from something on graphical startup.... | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Joh: There are many ways to back your system up.

| kimael | and ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.150/24 | 22:21 |
| Joh | Jordan_U: wow, so that will back up the entire drive, and will be efficient (i.e. not copying empty space)? | 22:21 |
| kimael | now it is up and ok | 22:21 |
| kimael | but there is no route :'( | 22:21 |
| goltoof | kimael: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 22:21 |

| tehnef | ikatana: find what your exact hardware is (hint: lspci) and google it with "ubuntu" | 22:30 |

| goltoof | pretty please | 22:40 |
| willis__ | thanks, i'm trying that now | 22:41 |
| Snobfrog | jordaj_u: ok. ill do it now. but the thing in my head is win xp 64bit uses ntfs and linux is different after the partition, setup, and grub optimizing is there a chance of a crush somehow? | 22:41 |
| Snobfrog | tehnef: i see so it is good news for my ubuntu it will shine. : ) | 22:42 |

| goltoof | guy who still high fives | 23:00 |
| Snobfrog | ZykoticK9, my cd drive is broken, have no usb stick and thats why i cannot boot from win xp disk to install xp. what i am asking is can i install xp by double clicking while the ubuntu is running. im sorry for my blurry explanation, also thx for the advice | 23:00 |

| Sean93 | how would i connect my xbox 360 to my pc via ethernet? i want to share movies directly between them | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Snobfrog: no you can'tr | 23:00 |
| Dazza71 | ikonia so what do I do as I know both the web cam and printer work on windows | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: works on windows means nothing, they need to be supported on ubuntu | 23:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snobfrog, sorry that is a windows issue for sure, you could try ##windows - i have NO idea how you could launch Windows Installer from inside Linux - i highly doubt wine will work. | 23:01 |
| Dazza71 | so having driver files won't help ? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Sean93: what version of ubuntu is your PC running | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: do you have the "driver" files | 23:01 |
| goltoof | ikonia: yea i was kind of looking for an example | 23:01 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, 10.10 | 23:01 |
| Dazza71 | yes i do | 23:01 |
| ikonia | goltoof: example of what ? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: have you read the install instructions ? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Sean93: you should be able to talk to your xbox using upnp - look that up | 23:02 |
| Dazza71 | as in the manual | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: as in the install instructions that tell you how to install them | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snobfrog, upon thinking about it - wine will not work for a physical install. Good luck man. | 23:03 |
| crawler | Snobfrog: if your bios supports booting from the network, i think it is possible | 23:03 |
| Dazza71 | right ok | 23:03 |
| Snobfrog | ZykoticK9, lovely : ) dont treat me like this just started to adore linux after 7 years | 23:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snobfrog, not a linux issue. good luck. | 23:03 |
| crawler | Snobfrog: i think it's called PXE booting, but i've never tried it before | 23:04 |
| Snobfrog | ZykoticK9, thanks dude | 23:04 |
| Dazza71 | the printer is showing by default but won't print and i have got the driver files installed for the webcam but it don't appear in cheese | 23:04 |
| Dazza71 | etc | 23:04 |
| Snobfrog | crawler, thank you to should i dig it? | 23:04 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, i know how to stream movies through upnp using wifi, but i want to stream them from the pc to the xbox using a direct ethernet connection | 23:04 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: have you read the install instructions for the driver files ? | 23:04 |
| crawler | Snobfrog: i don't know what you mean dig it | 23:04 |
| ikonia | Sean93: well wifi/cable is no different | 23:05 |
| Dazza71 | no y does it matter | 23:05 |
| neurochrome | Can someone please tell me how to get my menu back to normal. I installed Maverick with a seperate /home partition that contained my old settings. It meant a load of my menu entries were left there (some dead links) I deleted the config files in my home and it partly reset the menu.. by that I mean all the cruft went to "Other"... Not good. Now when I isntall apps sometimes the installed app fails to get a menu entry. Is there any way to | 23:05 |
| neurochrome | cleanse the menu entirely and get the system to look what apps are there and place the menu entries accordingly? | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: because to know how to install them, you need to read the install instructions, that's why it matters | 23:05 |
| Dazza71 | and the install instructions will be on the driver cd ? | 23:05 |
| joshy_ | where i find a list with packet-mirrors? | 23:05 |
| Snobfrog | crawler, i didnt know if it is dangerous for me thats why iasked :P anyway take care | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: I don't know, you need to find them, you said you got the linux drivers, where did you get the linux drivers | 23:06 |
| ikonia | Snobfrog: this is nothing to do with ubuntu - please take it to ##windows | 23:06 |
| Sean93 | when i connect the ethernet cable to the xbox and try to connect it trys and fails | 23:06 |
| Dazza71 | how would i know if i had the linux drivers | 23:06 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, when i connect the ethernet cable to the xbox and try to connect it trys and fails | 23:06 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: as I've said, Brother has poor linux support, so it may not be supported at all | 23:06 |
| Snobfrog | ikonia, ok. good luck with support | 23:06 |
| ikonia | Sean93: how are you trying to connect | 23:06 |
| Dazza71 | right i see | 23:07 |
| Dazza71 | and the webcam ? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: find out if it's supported is the first step | 23:07 |
| Sean93 | the network symbol on the desktop toolbar | 23:07 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, the network symbol on the desktop toolbar | 23:07 |
| Dazza71 | i checked the list and its not on there | 23:07 |
| ikonia | Sean93: you can't just "connect" like that, you need to be sharing the data, then connect using an app that's compatible | 23:07 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: it may not be supported then | 23:07 |
| Diverdude | How can i start a python script on my ubuntu server via ssh and close the connection while the script keeps running? | 23:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | Diverdude, screen | 23:08 |

| Sean93 | ikonia, i don't understand, i use PS3 media server for sharing files, how do i connect? | 23:08 |
| Diverdude | ZykoticK9, huh what does that mean? | 23:09 |
| Diverdude | ohhh | 23:09 |
| ikonia | Sean93: what has the PS3 got to do with it ? | 23:09 |
| Diverdude | just prepend nohup? | 23:09 |
| Dazza71 | so do all new webcams and printers now support linux | 23:09 |
| dennda | What part of gnome is responsible for asking me for my ssh key passphrases with a gui dialogue when I type `ssh host`? | 23:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | Diverdude, screen is a super handy application - you really should look into it ;) | 23:09 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: no | 23:09 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, its a media server for ps3 but also works with xbox | 23:09 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: as I've just said "it may not be supported" | 23:09 |
| ikonia | Sean93: ok - so that's nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:10 |
| Sean93 | yes it it, its as much a ubuntu question as it is a networking question | 23:10 |
| Diverdude | ZykoticK9, why is it better than nohup? | 23:10 |
| ikonia | Sean93: it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:10 |

| ZykoticK9 | Diverdude, both are valid. always more then 1 way to do something (especially in linux) -- screen is similar to a windows manager for virtual console sessions (that stay running even when you close the ssh session) | 23:11 |
| ikonia | Sean93: if you are running a PS3 sharing app on ubuntu, and your xbox can't connect, how is that an ubuntu issue ? | 23:11 |
| Dazza71 | ok one more question i want to be able to install software via wine but it still wont work | 23:12 |
| Sean93 | it can connect using wireless | 23:12 |

| ZykoticK9 | Diverdude, not really - think terminal ONLY | 23:13 |
| Sean93 | the only option is a direct connection | 23:13 |
| disturbedmime | Sean93: you could try bridging your eth nic with your wireless nic | 23:13 |
| Diverdude | ZykoticK9, it seems nohup comes preinstalled so why not just use that | 23:13 |
| ikonia | Sean93: then you have to make sure your xbox has an IP address on the same network range as you've assigned to the wired network connection, and your using a cross-over cable, and your wirless card on the xbox AND PC is disabled | 23:13 |
| NevEragon | anyone around familiar with rutorrent plugins? | 23:14 |

| ZykoticK9 | Diverdude, do whatever you want man! i was only suggesting you research screen for future knowledge (just a friendly suggestion - sorry man) | 23:14 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, so i can't have a wired and wireless connection at the same time? | 23:14 |
| ikonia | Sean93: not on the same network | 23:14 |
| Sean93 | ikonia, what do you mean on the same network? | 23:15 |
| ikonia | Sean93: on the same network ip range | 23:15 |
| disturbedmime | Sean93: do a bridged network, your wireless nic will have an ip, and the wired nic will just be up, much simpler | 23:15 |
| Sean93 | i was under the impression that i could connect 2 computers via a direct ethernet connection and share data between those to pcs | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Sean93: you can IF it's on a different network than your wirless connection | 23:16 |
| ads | tm: around? | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Sean93: you also need a cross-over cable, not a straight ethernet cable | 23:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sean93, i think you need a crossover cat5 to directly connect | 23:16 |
| crawler | yes, crossover cable | 23:16 |

| WillWork4foo | ikonia, pre-alpha, even.... I wasn't even aware there WAS an 11.04 yet | 23:24 |
| ikonia | s/should/shouldn't | 23:24 |
| JanHolbo | where would I go to ask for support regarding touchpad problems in Maverick? | 23:24 |
| ikonia | WillWork4foo: it's just a toolchain really | 23:24 |
| ikonia | JanHolbo: you're here | 23:24 |
| JanHolbo | ikonia, ok :-) | 23:24 |
| Quantum_Ion | should not | 23:24 |
| JanHolbo | ikonia, did not know if there was a seprate channel .... | 23:24 |
| Quantum_Ion | wait a while to upgrade to the latest and greatest ubuntu | 23:24 |
| neurochrome | is there a way to rebuild the gnome-menu from scratch? get it to correctly workout what menu entries are supposed to be there? | 23:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | at least until it is long term stable like 10.0.4 | 23:25 |

| ubottu | neurochrome: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 23:25 |
| mulambo | could you advise basic video program to edit video - cut the adverts from tv records | 23:25 |
| iflema | willis__ boot the livecd and edit the boot string = remove quiet and splash then add text... ittl boot to command prompt with no X | 23:25 |
| JanHolbo | ikonia, Maverick seems to have inversed the "enabled/disabled" state of the touchpad - how do I reverse that? | 23:25 |
| === jz is now known as Guest17736 | ||
| Jordan_U | mulambo: Pitivi | 23:25 |
| ikonia | JanHolbo: no idea | 23:26 |
| iflema | willis__ also the alternate ubuntu install cd may give you joy/... | 23:26 |
| brontoeee | ZykoticK9, uhmm, what is the command to check what repo is connected to my glc? | 23:26 |
| JanHolbo | havent found anything googling yet either | 23:26 |
| neurochrome | Jordan_U, is there any way to backup before issuing the command? | 23:26 |
| willis__ | i'm sorry to be a noob but where is the boot string | 23:26 |
| willis__ | i will certainly try the alternate cd, wasn't aware of it... thanks! | 23:26 |

| shawnboy | Hello all. I'm afraid I'm in a jam. My Lucid freezes hard before login screen. | 23:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | neurochrome, i remember you meant menus not panels right! i don't know of a way to reset the gnome menus, or auto populate the list in any way. best of luck man. | 23:26 |
| shawnboy | Can someone help me figure out how to start solving? | 23:27 |
| neurochrome | ZykoticK9, yeah menu NOT panel | 23:27 |
| Quantum_Ion | I think ubuntu moved build essentials to the Ubuntu CDROM which is messed up man | 23:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | brontoeee, "apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME" and look at the details | 23:27 |
| JanHolbo | ikonia, any idea where to turn? | 23:27 |
| ikonia | JanHolbo: no | 23:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | neurochrome, which is different then !panels (the menus) | 23:27 |
| neurochrome | ZykoticK9, There is a file applications.menu in your home that you can remove, but that didn't do the trick for me | 23:28 |
| Quantum_Ion | ubuntu keeps changing so much stuff around it makes it hard to find things nowadays | 23:28 |
| Andre_Gondim | Hi, does anyone know about the bug in Ubuntu that overheating CPU? | 23:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | neurochrome, there is quite a bit of Gnome voodoo with the menus these days (at one time it was a menu with shortcut - easy) | 23:28 |
| iflema | !who | willis__ | 23:28 |
| ubottu | willis__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:28 |
| JanHolbo | ikonia: ok thanks .... just gotta keep on searching then :-) | 23:29 |
| brontoeee | ZykoticK9, ok, glc is 3rd party repo called getdeb | 23:29 |
| neurochrome | ZykoticK9, it's a mess... 8/ | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | neurochrome: If you log into a guest session, or create a new user, is the menu correct? | 23:29 |
| shawnboy | Really, I'd appreciate any help starting to solve my problem. I can't boot into Lucid that has been working just fine. | 23:29 |
| neurochrome | Jordan_U, not checked | 23:29 |
| neurochrome | Jordan_U, I would have thought so though | 23:29 |
| hiexpo | glc is not get deb | 23:30 |
| willis__ | iflema: thanks i'm dl'ing the alternate installer now | 23:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | brontoeee, thanks man! i'd given up, i couldn't find much for a native ubuntu install (but i didn't check getdeb! my bad) thanks man i'll give that a shot (i'm not a huge fan of gtk-record-mydesktop) | 23:30 |
| Quantum_Ion | Last night I was so tired I accidently ran rm -rf * as /root and I forked up my system had to reinstall it was a mess | 23:30 |
| yeats | shawnboy: what model graphics card do you have? | 23:30 |
| brontoeee | ZykoticK9, glc is only for 3d accelerated stuff | 23:30 |
| shawnboy | ATI Radeon HD 4570 but it has been working flawlessly using ATI drivers. didn't change those. | 23:31 |
| Quantum_Ion | I learned a big lesson never do system admin work as root when you are tired | 23:31 |
| yeats | shawnboy: what did you change since it was last working? | 23:31 |
| neurochrome | Jordan_U, I'll be back, go to check | 23:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | brontoeee, ya - i want 3d capture for sure, but i'm worried that it's application specific, and I won't be able to capture the entire desktop :( But it will be fun to play with, i'll try capture some FPS stuff if it works on 3d apps only) | 23:32 |
| syn-ack | Quantum_Ion: Try doing it when you're drunk | 23:32 |
| shawnboy | yeats: the latest thing that happened was a small handful of updates via update manager. Off top of my head I remember CUPS, openssl, tz-data, but no kernel updates. | 23:32 |
| Quantum_Ion | syn-ack, Same outcome you will fork up your system and have to reinstall | 23:32 |
| yeats | shawnboy: have you attempted to boot into recovery mode? | 23:33 |
| shawnboy | yeats, Grub 2 is fine, old Karmic on same system is fine. | 23:33 |
| Quantum_Ion | It took me like 6 hours to put my system back togather | 23:33 |
| shawnboy | yeats, yes. | 23:33 |
| shawnboy | yeats, I can, but don't know what to try then. | 23:33 |
| joshy | anyone infos howto synchronize with an exchange server? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | joshy: what mail client ? | 23:33 |
| joshy | i'm flexible | 23:33 |
| hiexpo | what else is there besides record my desktop i don't like it either | 23:33 |
| yeats | shawnboy: "old Karmic"? Do you mean that you're dual booting? | 23:33 |
| iflema | willis__ fingers crossed... it is possible some of your hardware is simply not supported... is this a laptop or??? | 23:34 |
| joshy | ikonia: kmail? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | joshy: won't work | 23:34 |
| IdleOne | hiexpo: kazam screencaster | 23:34 |
| willis__ | iflema: it is a 4-5 year old emachines desktop, currently only has winxp installed | 23:34 |
| joshy | ikonia: thunderbird? | 23:34 |
| shawnboy | yeats, yes. Lucid latest kernel, Win 7 (rarely touch), Karmic. | 23:34 |
| ikonia | joshy: won't work | 23:34 |
| joshy | ikonia: I'm flexible.... | 23:34 |
| ikonia | joshy: evolution only | 23:34 |
| hiexpo | IdleOne, kool i'll check it out thanx | 23:35 |
| joshy | ikonia: i have tryed once, don't work | 23:35 |
| DoctorChris | I'm having a problem where Chromium crashes shortly after loading, every time. No error messages, no nothing. Just disappears 10.10. Has anybody else reported this problem? | 23:35 |
| shawnboy | yeats, I wouldn't think whatever is wrong could be very bad, but don't know what to do to begin rescuing. | 23:35 |
| ikonia | joshy: your exchange server needs to have IMAP running | 23:35 |
| tripelb | basic question: I searched for a file. I found it. I want to open the "containing folder". HOW do I do this? Oops I forgot..10.04 --- Been posting this question on and off for months. lol | 23:35 |
| joshy | ikonia: some recommended pages? | 23:35 |
| tripelb | How will this help? It's a patch. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/alternative-to-200-lines-kernel-patch.html | 23:35 |
| joshy | ikonia: yeah it has | 23:35 |
| ikonia | joshy: no idea, basically, enable imap support on the exchange server, then the "connec to exchange" setting on evolution works | 23:36 |
| joshy | ikonia: i thought it runs over the web gui... | 23:36 |
| ikonia | joshy: it does | 23:36 |
| ikonia | joshy: for calendar stuff | 23:36 |
| joshy | ikonia: also exchange 2007? | 23:36 |
| yeats | shawnboy: there should be an option to fix the X server from recovery mode - have you tried that? | 23:37 |
| ikonia | joshy: not sure how different versions make a differnce to be honest | 23:37 |
| ikonia | joshy: I've done it with 2003 and 2010 | 23:37 |
| joshy | ikonia: evolution version? | 23:37 |
| shawnboy | yeats, don't remember that option, but I'll boot into recovery mode now and look. I'm on dif machine right next to other one. | 23:37 |
| ikonia | whatever came with ubuntu 8.10, and 10.04 | 23:37 |
| veovis_muaddib | I've been trying to chown, but it fails because of a documentation file called 한국어. I try to rm -f it, and it gives no error, but an ls shows the file still there. rm -rf on the directory it resides in fails as well... | 23:38 |
| yeats | shawnboy: the other thing I might try is booting into an older kernel | 23:38 |
| ryan_ | Guys I have a question... | 23:39 |
| goltoof | !ask | 23:39 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 23:39 |
| crawler | tripelb: so, you searched for a file in nautilus, and now want to open it's containing folder? | 23:39 |
| joshy | ryan_: and if there are womans? | 23:39 |
| shawnboy | yeats, only thing I see on recovery menu about X is failsafeX-run in failsafe graphics mode. | 23:39 |
| ikonia | joshy: please don't make that sort of comment | 23:39 |
| shawnboy | yeats, try that? | 23:39 |
| joshy | ikonia: kk | 23:39 |
| Dazza71 | error wrong architecture i386 error what is this pls | 23:39 |
| yeats | shawnboy: can't hurt | 23:40 |
| yggdrasil | hello, i havea usb remote control and the driver on lucid doesnt work, people have written about rolling back to an older driver, how do i do this ? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | Dazza71: it means your installing a package for the wrong version (32bit/64bit) than your running | 23:40 |
| ryan_ | Ok, So my desktop is running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm going to put East peesy or UBuntu 10.10 on my netbook, how would I make a Network or something where I could acess my stuff from one computer on a nother? | 23:40 |
| yeats | shawnboy: I guess I'm thinking of older Ubuntu releases for that recovery option | 23:40 |
| veovis_muaddib | Does anyone know how to delete a file with the name 한국어? | 23:40 |
| MrDudle | right click move to trash? | 23:41 |
| murat | should I put GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="splash vga=791" to make the splash work? | 23:41 |
| shawnboy | yeats, I'm logged in with super low-res graphics. logged in, tho, nonetheless. | 23:41 |
| Akuma_s | Maybe 32 bits software in a multiple core Dazza71... | 23:41 |
| ikonia | Akuma_s: that makes no sense | 23:41 |
| veovis_muaddib | MrDudle: I'm in Ubuntu Server with no GUI, and rm isn't working | 23:41 |
| shawnboy | hmmm, yeats , I wonder if I should just try to uninstall ATI graphics from prompt, then reinstall. | 23:41 |
| ryan_ | How do I make a Linux network... | 23:41 |
| ryan_ | ? | 23:41 |
| ikonia | Akuma_s: the number of cores has no relevance | 23:41 |
| yeats | shawnboy: I would try that | 23:41 |
| ikonia | !networking | ryan_ | 23:41 |
| MrDudle | rm -rf thefilelocation | 23:41 |
| Wicked | how do i change system policies? | 23:42 |
| shawnboy | yeats, I will. Thanks for responding to my request. I'll give that a try. | 23:42 |
| ikonia | Wicked: which ones ? | 23:42 |
| yeats | shawnboy: good luck! | 23:42 |
| veovis_muaddib | MrDudle: rm -f or rm -rf give no errors, but an ls still shows the file. | 23:42 |
| NevEragon | anyone about that can help me setting up rutorrent plugins? I cant seem to get my rss plugin to work >.> | 23:42 |
| ikonia | !network | ryan_ | 23:42 |

| Wicked | ikonia, well mainly the shutdown one | 23:42 |
| Wicked | but im curious as to what other ones there are | 23:42 |
| ikonia | Wicked: which one | 23:42 |
| Wicked | multi-user shutdown | 23:42 |
| Wicked | but like i said im curious to what other ones there are | 23:43 |
| Wicked | is this something in gconf-editor? | 23:43 |
| ikonia | Wicked: I have no idea what your talking about, any user can shut a box down | 23:43 |
| yggdrasil | hello, i havea usb remote control and the driver on lucid doesnt work, people have written about rolling back to an older driver, how do i do this ? | 23:43 |
| iflema | veovis_muaddib will tab completetion do it?? | 23:43 |
| ikonia | yggdrasil: talk to the people who told you to go back to a previous version of the driver | 23:43 |
| Wicked | ikonia, this prompts for a password. this laptop is not mine and the user does not want to be prompted for a password every time you log off | 23:43 |
| Wicked | or reboot/shutdown | 23:44 |
| Wicked | org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users | 23:44 |
| ikonia | Wicked: by default it shouldn't ask him | 23:44 |
| Wicked | it does | 23:44 |
| veovis_muaddib | iflema: Yeah, it gets the name in there, but even after what looks like a successful rm, it still shows in an ls | 23:44 |
| Wicked | on a default install | 23:44 |
| ikonia | Wicked: is that user in the "admin" group ? | 23:44 |
| Wicked | should be. | 23:44 |
| yggdrasil | ikonia: :( | 23:45 |
| yggdrasil | they are dead i think | 23:45 |
| Wicked | yes it is ikonia | 23:45 |
| yggdrasil | horrible shcmelting accident. | 23:45 |
| ikonia | yggdrasil: what ? | 23:45 |
| crawler | lmao | 23:45 |
| ikonia | Wicked: then there is something wrong (not policy based) as it shouldn't prompt him | 23:45 |
| yggdrasil | the people that told me to go back to an olde driver :( | 23:45 |
| yggdrasil | or kernel moduel i suppose | 23:46 |
| Wicked | ikonia, ive had this happen on several installs. i literally did a default install and updated the system with apt then went to reboot and it failed to let me without entering my password. | 23:46 |
| ikonia | yggdrasil: why do you think they are dead | 23:46 |
| Wicked | and ive had this happen on several versions of ubuntu | 23:46 |
| tato | what its the code to Alt + F2 to update to ubuntu 10.10? | 23:46 |
| yggdrasil | well they used to eat alot of bacon | 23:46 |
| ron_ | Anybody know how to get red5 flash server working? lol | 23:46 |
| ikonia | Wicked: how are you rebooting ? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | yggdrasil: ok - sto pmessing around, contact them | 23:46 |
| Wicked | its also a well known issue if you google it. | 23:46 |
| yggdrasil | yes sir | 23:46 |
| Wicked | ikonia, from the menus | 23:46 |
| ikonia | Wicked: I've never seen it (surprising) | 23:47 |
| yeats | tato: which version are you on? | 23:47 |
| tato | the 10.04 | 23:47 |
| Seveas | Wicked, pastebin /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Seveas: have you seeen this before ? | 23:48 |
| yeats | tato: you can go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and go to the Updates tabe | 23:48 |
| Seveas | yes. The hint is restart-multiple-users. When others are logged in as well, the user will be prompted for a password. | 23:48 |
| goltoof | how can i tell what ftp server is running? | 23:48 |
| tato | but the update is not available | 23:49 |
| yeats | tato: *tab - then change the Release Upgrade section to say Normal Releases | 23:49 |
| ikonia | goltoof: check the package, | 23:49 |
| yggdrasil | ikonia: perhaps this will change my course of action? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1452636 | 23:49 |
| Wicked | Seveas, i have no easy way to pastebin from that machine right now | 23:49 |
| Wicked | is there anything specific i should look for? | 23:49 |
| ikonia | yggdrasil: it may | 23:49 |
| goltoof | ikonia: how? | 23:49 |
| Seveas | Wicked, can you confirm that multiple people are logged in? | 23:49 |
| yeats | tato: it should then prompt you for the upgrade | 23:49 |
| ikonia | goltoof: which package did you install as an ftp server ? | 23:49 |
| Wicked | also...how can i browse other system policies..is there any management tool for this? | 23:49 |
| goltoof | ikonia: idk, the last it guy did it | 23:49 |
| Wicked | Seveas, well i did sudo su - | 23:50 |
| ikonia | goltoof: what does the process list show - grep for ftp | 23:50 |
| goltoof | ikonia: vsftpd.. guess that answers it | 23:50 |
| ikonia | there you go | 23:50 |
| newb | anyone have an knowledge about audex in gnome and codecs? | 23:51 |
| goltoof | thx.. | 23:51 |
| tripelb | crawler: thanks for listening. | 23:51 |
| tato | yeats, OK TKS | 23:52 |
| joshy | ikonia: still there? | 23:53 |
| ikonia | yes | 23:53 |
| joshy | ikonia: exchange not working | 23:53 |
| Kurdistan | anybody that can help me with splash screen? | 23:53 |
| joshy | do you can give support? | 23:54 |
| ikonia | joshy: not for exchange, | 23:54 |
| Wicked | is anyone here using the adobe 64bit flash in ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| Sonsee | Hi all, how to run a script from .kde/Autostart that contains a sudo command? | 23:55 |
| joshy | i cannot modify exchange, fh server | 23:55 |
| Wicked | can anyone verify that hulu works with 64bit flash? | 23:55 |
| Wicked | i heard it does not(or used to not work) | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Wicked: it's dead and unsupported | 23:55 |
| tripelb | crawler: yes. I'll set up the situation now. I might be satisfied knowing it's path as well. I think that I am in something called "nautilus" though there is nothing on the desktop (goes to check) except if I go to "About" (from a "file browser window- what do you call it?") then you see the name Nautilus (this natter is outside of the present issue) -> I now have the situation set up. I know that one can see the path in "Properties" | 23:55 |
| tripelb | that is, unless the path is too long and then you dont get the entire path. | 23:55 |
| veovis_muaddib | I'm having trouble in Ubuntu Server deleting a file called 한국어 and I need to get this server online soon. Where can I go for help? | 23:55 |
| ikonia | joshy: I've never had an issue with it | 23:55 |
| Wicked | ikonia, ok so just use the standard flash? | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Wicked: that's what most do | 23:56 |
| Wicked | k thanks | 23:56 |

| Freeze_Off_My_Kn | Wicked, usually when you run a flash video in Linux the Flash video is stored in /tmp file | 23:58 |
| Wicked | yea. | 23:58 |
| johnzorns | I did an update yesterday that didnt finish successfully and now when I try to boot into that computer it doesnt boot up. I tried both regular and recovery options from the grub menu. is there a way to boot into it to complete the update? | 23:58 |
| Wicked | i know that...but not really sure what has to do with installing flash ) | 23:58 |
| Wicked | *:) | 23:58 |
| Freeze_Off_My_Kn | Wicked, Where does Hulu store their video on your system it is encoded I believe | 23:58 |
| Wicked | this is for a very non computer savvy friend...trying to explain that to them is out of the question | 23:59 |
| ronghail | how do I install sshd? | 23:59 |
| Wicked | Freeze_Off_My_Kn, ah yea. i just really need flash | 23:59 |
| ronghail | I mean I know the real way. I am asking about the ubuntu way | 23:59 |
| Wicked | ronghail, with apt* | 23:59 |
| Wicked | lol | 23:59 |
| ikonia | ronghail: install the package openssh-server | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Wicked: it does it all for you | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Wicked: just install the package flashplugin-nonfree | 23:59 |
| ronghail | yeah apt-get install some-random-made-up-name | 23:59 |
