| ahs4n | Jordan_U: is my computer all gone | 00:00 |
| xiamx | Skapare, I use livecd and chrooted, bug grub-update do not work | 00:00 |
| xiamx | But | 00:00 |
| DragonKeeper | omg its all gone :/ | 00:00 |
| xiamx | Not bug | 00:00 |
| hihihi100 | u, ok | 00:00 |
| Skapare | xiamx: just look in /boot/grub and see what is there | 00:00 |
| hihihi100 | i deleted a repeated repo | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader_: what video chip are you using? | 00:00 |
| hihihi100 | i still get the failed to download... message | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: No. That guide should get both windows and Ubuntu booting again (but you'll need to do some additional steps to prevent this from happening again). | 00:00 |
| hihihi100 | ill keep trying though | 00:00 |
| mdg2 | Hello! I am trying to troubleshoot bitpim with a Motorola W-315 | 00:01 |
| intrader_ | ActionParsnip, where do I find that? | 00:01 |
| Skapare | xiamx: you should see a file named "grub.cfg" ... but maybe there is a backup (don't know what name it would be) | 00:01 |
| xiamx | Skapare, what about my initramfs | 00:01 |
| mdg2 | bitpim tells me it sees the /dev/tty/ACM0 port and a USB port that is not active | 00:02 |
| xiamx | Skapare, I guess thats the make cause of kernel panic | 00:02 |
| thefatloverboy_ | how to install this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 | 00:02 |
| thefatloverboy_ | to be used on skype | 00:02 |
| intrader_ | Neither of the accelerated graphic drivers are activated. That could be the problem. | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | DragonKeeper: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should get most things back. You can also look at the dpkg logs to see exactly what was removed. | 00:02 |
| mdg2 | anyonere here with experience with bitpim? | 00:02 |
| Fuh-zz | hihihi100: Change the tor repo to use lucid instead of maverick | 00:03 |
| Skapare | xiamx: if the kernel does not get a usable root device to mount, it will panic, yet ... and if grub.cfg gave a bad device name or UUID, that would do it | 00:03 |
| Skapare | xiamx: look for maybe "grub.bak" or something like that being left behind | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader_: run: lspci | grep -i vga | 00:03 |
| DragonKeeper | ok Jordan_ | 00:03 |
| littlebobby | my system freezes whenever I'm booting normally. When booting in recovery mode and starting failsafeX I can normally use it (albeit lacking graphics-acceleration). So I've configured X to use the vesa-driver, as I thought the ati-drivers gave me problems but it still freezes when booted normally. Any Ideas what to check next? I've been hunting this the whole day now and run out of ideas | 00:03 |
| xiamx | Skapare, ok, I'm in live cd now, I'll try | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: seems to use gspca https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams | 00:04 |
| Skapare | xiamx: if you see nothing you can manually fix ... and grub.cfg is overly complicated these days ... you might have to try the alternate plan | 00:04 |
| matelot | what software to use to extract portion of a/v file ? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself? | 00:04 |
| shmup | hey action, curious.. | 00:04 |
| shmup | that DUC client you told me about | 00:04 |
| thefatloverboy_ | yes | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | matelot: avidemux | 00:05 |
| intrader_ | ActionParsnip, the command gives "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84M [Quadro FX 570M] (rev a1)" | 00:05 |
| xiamx | Skapare, is it possible to chroot and grub-update? | 00:05 |
| shmup | would that do the same thing as me having my router automatically updating my no-ip to the proper IP | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: try using tab to complete nics | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !info noip2 | shmup | 00:05 |
| thefatloverboy_ | but not in skype | 00:05 |
| shmup | ActionParsnip, yeah, I was being lazy. :/ | 00:05 |
| ubottu | shmup: noip2 (source: no-ip): client for dynamic DNS service. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.9-3 (maverick), package size 83 kB, installed size 260 kB | 00:05 |
| matelot | ActionParsnip: IS IT gui APP ? | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | shmup: its an extra single key,..... | 00:05 |
| shmup | Yeah, sorry. | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | matelot: yes | 00:05 |
| Skapare | xiamx: that's possible, certainly ... worth a try AFTER checking for a backup of grub.cfg | 00:06 |
| Skapare | xiamx: if you find a backup of grub.cfg ... copy or rename it to something else if you still want to try grub-update first | 00:06 |
| intrader_ | ActionParsnip, I must restart | 00:06 |

| __Steven__ | hi there. urgent question: being an idiot i did: chown moya:www-data / -R now i cannot access my server through plesk. what is the original chown for / | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | __Steven__: there is no single chown, its a large variety | 00:08 |
| matelot | ActionParsnip: thanks | 00:08 |
| Skapare | __Steven__: depends on the file ... many have different | 00:08 |
| __Steven__ | i did it in root | 00:08 |
| xiamx | Will someone do me a favor paste bin ur grub.cfg? | 00:08 |
| Skapare | __Steven__: yup ... and you busted it, too | 00:09 |
| littlebobby | __Steven__, but you've chosen / with the -R option which means you've changed the ownership of all files on the system | 00:09 |
| __Steven__ | and now? ^^ | 00:09 |
| Skapare | xiamx: don't copy their UUID numbers ... YOURs are different | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | xiamx: sure, http://pastebin.com/ZfMmFjCr | 00:09 |
| aeon-ltd | xiamx: why? its different for everyone cos of uuids and hdd identifiers copying is useless use the examples | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | __Steven__: If you re-install every package it will probably restore *most* of the permissions. But it could also have other side effects. | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | xiamx: the file is generated by grub, I suggest you boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS and fix | 00:10 |
| xiamx | I just need to compared some parameters | 00:10 |
| __Steven__ | well for such cases i would have backups. how can i play a backup when i cannot access plesk? | 00:10 |

| intrader_ | ActionParsnip, appears that the 'Additional Drivers' have conflicting drivers . Two of them are fighting. | 00:12 |
| Skapare | xiamx: this one is for 32-bit ubuntu 10.10 | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader_: then remove both drivers and reboot, then install one | 00:13 |
| intrader | ActionParsnip, on the other machine. I will remove them if I new how, and install? the Additional Drivers gives me two drivers | 00:14 |
| igor_ | Hi everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (because of WiFi problems with 10.10) and my "Hardware Drivers" tool reports that "no proprietary drivers are in use by this system" and the list is empty. How do I add drivers to it? Everywhere I've read about how to use proprietary drivers said that I should use that tool, find the driver I want and just press activate. Thanks! | 00:15 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: nope mot working | 00:16 |

| Skapare | xiamx: is init there? ... /sbin/init | 00:17 |
| intrader | ActionParsnip, the 'Additional Drivers' applet lists two, the first (version 173) says that there is another driver in use, the second one is active | 00:17 |
| igor_ | ActionParsnip: will try that in a sec | 00:17 |
| Skapare | xiamx: what do you have for the root= ?? | 00:17 |
| xiamx | My uuid | 00:17 |

| xiamx | And I tried to change to /dev/sda2 too which is the equivalent | 00:18 |
| lemmoner | hi there | 00:18 |

| lemmoner | any idea? | 00:19 |
| intrader | ActionParsnip, much better synch - see not difference with Windows Vista. Hurrah! . Thanks, that did the trick. | 00:19 |
| IdleOne | LjL: done | 00:19 |
| igor_ | ActionParsnip: actually i need nvidia drivers, I know how to install them but they still aren't listed in hardware drivers. and shouldnt it be as easy as pressing activate in hardware drivers? | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: What do you mean "after i press repair"? It should not be a button you press but a command you run, specifically "fixmbr". | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader: np bro, the extra files make flash a little nicer, the driver just clinched it nicely | 00:20 |
| xiamx | Mtab is empty I don't know why | 00:20 |

| ahs4n | Jordan_U: after i press R for repair it again starts to boot | 00:20 |
| ahs4n | by showing rescue | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | igor_: possibly, depends on the chip | 00:21 |
| Skapare | xiamx: empty? ... oh, my bad ... check for UUID in /etc/fstab ... BUT ... an empty mtab is a bad sign | 00:21 |
| DragonKeeper | Jordan_U a few things came back but theres alot missing and alot folders deleted that make the recovered apps start | 00:21 |

| Jordan_U | ahs4n: So you chose "Repair a Windows XP Installation" and it immediately rebooted? | 00:21 |
| Skapare | xiamx: do this back outside of the chroot ... df /path/where/mounted | 00:22 |
| xiamx | Skapare, what is the format of mtab, could u paste bin it? Maybe I can try to recover it manually | 00:22 |
| Skapare | xiamx: you might have a full disk ... that can break things if disk space fills up during a grub update | 00:22 |

| lemmoner | Lhola | 00:26 |
| JosephUbuntu | since 24 is used in the UK, i thought it would work | 00:26 |
| Dr_Willis | JosephUbuntu: it may be more of a cell format setting. Not a language setting. | 00:26 |
| xiamx | Oh btw, can anyone post bin their /etc/mtab? | 00:26 |
| lemmoner | some expert with totem? | 00:26 |

| DragonKeeper | Dr_Willis whats difference ? | 00:27 |
| xiamx | I suspect that my mtab I'd not correct.. It's empty ,and it was modified just before First noticing kernelpaic | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | DragonKeeper: both are great, 10.04 is supported longer | 00:27 |

| nacitar | is it possible to software raid-1 the "biosgrub" partition? Trying to setup raid-1 while installing a fresh copy of ubuntu server, but I can't get it to work. If i use a 1mb sized partition for biosgrub, it doesn't work because raid uses extra space.... if I size that partition larger, it works up until the bootloader installation where grub fails to install. Also, once I set up my raid-1 | 00:27 |
| nacitar | in the installer, it wont actualy let me choose to specify that raid array as a "reserved bios boot area"... am i missing something, or is it just impossible to software-raid the boot partition? | 00:27 |
| Skapare | xiamx: I have a separate /boot / swap /home as parts 1 2 3 4 | 00:28 |

| Kog|Work | wow, although apparently start.jar is totally not in the jetty distro | 00:35 |
| nacitar | Can you software raid-1 your "reserved bios boot area"/"biosgrub" partition, or must that not be raided? | 00:35 |

| nacitar | Jordan_U: can you leverage mdadm to keep the two in sync? Or do those partitions never really change... such that copying it over once is sufficient? | 00:38 |
| Random832 | http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Reading_the_Linux_Kernel_Sources | 00:38 |
| rofflecoptor | and my install broke | 00:38 |
| Skapare | Gerycho: #ubuntu-it | 00:38 |
| Random832 | We can see here that the kernel attempts to start /sbin/init, /etc/init, /bin/init and finally falls back to trying /bin/sh. If we read backwards a little bit we see where the kernel tries to execute whatever program was based via the init= kernel argument by the boot loader (and we can follow the hyperlinks to find where the command line was parsed for such an option). Going back a little furtherj we can see where the kernel tries to start the /i | 00:38 |

| xiamx | Or.. Perhaps, what does update-initramfs actually do? | 00:39 |
| thefatloverboy_ | doest work | 00:40 |
| Skapare | xiamx: updates the initramfs image? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: did you run: sudo apt-get update first? | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | nacitar: Those partitions should only change when grub-install is run, and if the grub-pc package configuration is setup properly it should install to both drives (you can check with "debconf-show grub-pc", look at the "install_devices" value). | 00:40 |
| xiamx | Where's the initramfs image? | 00:40 |
| thefatloverboy_ | well let see | 00:40 |
| brokendatapoint | hi all, using Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32, am trying to get mutt configured but having issues with /var/mail/<user>, it *seems* to work but is exceptionally slow, is Postifx the issue or is it perhaps the system mail spool? | 00:40 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: ok i am in the options now | 00:40 |
| ahs4n | after booting fron cd | 00:41 |
| Skapare | xiamx: either built inside the kernel or where parameter tells it (via grub) | 00:41 |
| ahs4n | 8.10 | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: try this command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype may just work | 00:41 |
| nacitar | Jordan_U: ah, so grub's settings aren't stored there? if so then that'll be easy to sync once. I assumed grub stored its settings there and thus kernel updates would break the whole mirrored idea | 00:41 |
| xiamx | Is that the initrd line of grub? | 00:41 |
| Skapare | maybe /initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic ... note that initramfs and initrd are just a difference in format ... kernel supports either | 00:42 |
| Gerycho | ho ok Thanks you, siete geniali ecco dove ho sbagliato maledetto pacard bell | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | nacitar: No, grub's settings are stored in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and read from the filesystem at every boot. It's lilo that stores its configuration with blocklists. | 00:42 |
| Gerycho | by night | 00:42 |
| nacitar | Jordan_U: ah okay, that explains it... I've been wasting so much time trying to fight the ubuntu isntaller to let me do the impossible. thanks a bunch man. | 00:42 |
| xiamx | Ahahahaha | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | nacitar: You're welcome. | 00:42 |
| xiamx | Remove initrd line on grub works | 00:42 |
| Skapare | initrd is a ramdisk sector image, formatted with a filesystem such as ext2, compressed ... initramfs is a compressed cpio package | 00:43 |
| xiamx | Though I have no idea why... | 00:43 |
| brokendatapoint | is OK, worked now, yesterday there was a 17 hour lag, now is within 3 secs to a gmail addy ... weird | 00:43 |
| Skapare | xiamx: try rebuilding your initrd because stuff will be missing w/o it | 00:43 |
| Skapare | nacitar: so now you know how to do the impossible? | 00:44 |
| Kog|Work | alright, this channel is dead... wonder if codehaus has anything useful | 00:44 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: ok i am in the options now | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: any better? | 00:45 |
| ^Mike | Hello, I've created a samba share on one computer - how can I access it from another ubuntu machine? | 00:45 |
| Skapare | xiamx: the initrd may be defective ... note that IT will be the root filesystem if no other mounted first by /linuxrc script, and it will look for /sbin/init in initrd and not find it | 00:45 |
| thefatloverboy_ | not | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: even with the ldconfig bit? | 00:46 |
| xiamx | Skapare, ok thats easier, at least I have a working system | 00:46 |
| thefatloverboy_ | it allready exist | 00:46 |
| thefatloverboy_ | tell ś that | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Select "Try Ubuntu..." (or a similar option if that's not exactly how it begins). | 00:46 |
| rofflecoptor | see when i start it up it screws up while booting | 00:46 |
| xiamx | I rebuilt initrd, and trying to reboot and see if it's working | 00:46 |
| tonama | b | 00:46 |
| rofflecoptor | and it says general error mounting filesystem a maintenance shell will now be started | 00:46 |
| Skapare | xiamx: well now you have a way back ... try to get initrd rebuilt (and if it doesn't rebuild right, you can redo what you just did to get back and try over) | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy_: try: export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1; bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype' | 00:46 |
| Skapare | xiamx: OK | 00:46 |
| Skapare | xiamx: good luck ... gotta run for a while | 00:47 |
| rofflecoptor | anybody have any idea how i can fix this? | 00:48 |
| xiamx | Skapare,great everything work now | 00:48 |

| rofflecoptor | it pretends like it doesn't see any of my other operating systems | 01:28 |
| rofflecoptor | so its gonna murder them if i do a reinstall | 01:29 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | ok | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | rofflecoptor: I didn't ask you to re-install. Run "sudo parted -l" from the liveCD and pastebin the output. | 01:29 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: is there space between install and dash | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: No. | 01:29 |
| rofflecoptor | k | 01:30 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: yep | 01:30 |
| WolfDogDesigns | Hi all. Hoping someone can help, I've hooked up a joystick to my box, and its being treated as a mouse. Joustick moves cursor, throttle lever controls scroll wheel etc, probably be able to live with it if I was gaming with it, but im not, im trying to code for it. which is making it near impossible | 01:31 |
| waldy | Q: I am using Ubuntu server 10.04.1 and what I am finding is that when I ftp files into /var/www and then ftp them back to my client machine, they appear to be corrupt - this is mainly apparent with .gif .jpg and any other binary files. Itś as though they are being ftp in text mode, but the ftp client confirms that they are being transferred in binary mode. Guys, what gives? I have set up many servers in the past and not had this problem, b | 01:32 |
| waldy | ut am having the problem in 10.04.1 - Suggestions please? | 01:32 |
| Donkeyy | Hello gentlemen | 01:32 |
| waldy | Sorry for asking again, but I really would like help with this..... | 01:32 |
| Donkeyy | I just installed a ATI driver and ubuntu shuts off monitor at startup | 01:32 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: it did not install anything, it came to another command cursor | 01:32 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: That means that it worked. Try rebooting. | 01:33 |
| rofflecoptor | i just get an error | 01:34 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: yeah, showing boot options | 01:34 |
| rofflecoptor | says can't have overlapping partitions | 01:34 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: now loaded windows | 01:35 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Good, you should also be able to boot Ubuntu. Next we just need to prevent this from happening again. | 01:36 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: in windows it is showing some system setting change dialog box | 01:37 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: and asking to reboot to save the changes | 01:37 |
| Donkeyy | hi can anyone help | 01:38 |
| Donkeyy | why is ubuntu not starting | 01:38 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: i restart na | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: I'm not sure what that means. | 01:38 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: ok i am rebooting to ubuntu? | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Yes. Try rebooting into Ubuntu. | 01:39 |
| Donkeyy | what do you type to update grub | 01:40 |
| Donkeyy | is it sudo apt-get update grub | 01:40 |
| OerHeks | sudo update-grub | 01:40 |
| mdg2 | hello!. I just used bitpim (run with sudo) and was able to copy my ringtones to my desktop, but they are locked. How do I change permissions? | 01:41 |

| ryann | Since a recent system upgrade (ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10), I can no longer launch VLC to my second screen. Is there a command that lists currently available Xorg screens so that I can be sure I am calling it correctly? (:0.1) | 01:42 |
| connermcd | mdg2 you can change the owner of the files using chown | 01:42 |
| sorak | what permissions do you need, mdg? | 01:42 |
| connermcd | mdg2 for example, sudo chown mdg2 <file> | 01:42 |
| Donkeyy | man.... ubuntu shuts off the monitor at startup | 01:42 |
| mdg2 | sorak connermcd - I guess user so I can play the *.mid files | 01:42 |
| Donkeyy | why? | 01:42 |

| sorak | sudo chown mdg2:mdg2 *.mid | 01:43 |
| connermcd | mdg2 no | 01:43 |
| connermcd | mdg2 sudo chown <username> <file> | 01:44 |
| mdg2 | connermcd: does sudo chown mdg2;mdg2 *.mid only give me permission? | 01:44 |
| connermcd | mdg2 not semi-colon... not mdg2;mdg2, mdg2:mdg2 | 01:44 |
| mdg2 | connermcd: I mistyped | 01:44 |
| connermcd | mdg2 yes it makes you the owner of the file | 01:44 |
| mdg2 | connermcd: can I make them so anyone can access them? | 01:45 |
| rofflecoptor1 | i dont know what to do anymore | 01:45 |
| connermcd | mdg2 yes, if you want to make a file completely available to anyone it's sudo chmod 777 <file> | 01:45 |
| connermcd | mdg2 however, that's generally a bad idea unless it really is a file you want anyone to have access to | 01:45 |
| mdg2 | connermcd: they are just ringtones | 01:46 |
| mdg2 | connermcd: would that be a bad thing? | 01:46 |
| connermcd | mdg2 no, it's fine... just don't run around using that command on anything :-) | 01:47 |
| Donkeyy | I just installed a ATI driver and ubuntu wil not load now | 01:47 |
| mdg2 | connermcd: defintely not, just trying to transfer them to new phone | 01:47 |

| ahs4n | Jordan_U: there are 3 filesystems in 320 gb harddisk | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: One of them should have a directory named "ubuntu" in it. | 01:51 |
| Donkeyy | this is why I like debian | 01:54 |
| bern | bern09 | 01:54 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Whatever partition has the "ubuntu" directory in it is the one wubi is installed to. Whatever partition has a "Program Files" directory is the one where windows is installed (called "C:" in windows). | 01:54 |

| michael_ | does anyone know the grub2 menu entry for booting the server edition iso? | 01:56 |
| KeyBoardx86 | can anyone let me know which one will be the command to find out what wireless chipset card do I have on my laptop? | 01:56 |
| Donkeyy | dmhallahan your in my area | 01:56 |
| Jordan_U | michael_: Unfortunatly as far as I can tell loop booting is broken for the server edition isos. | 01:56 |
| psycho_oreos | KeyBoardx86, lspci -nnk | 01:56 |
| KeyBoardx86 | nnk? | 01:56 |
| KeyBoardx86 | thx psycho_oreos let me check | 01:57 |
| bern | so does anyone know or is there a way i can contact someone else? | 01:57 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: it is in the home directory of that partiton? | 01:57 |
| michael_ | Jordan_U, i thought i had gotten it to work before, but now i am unable to find the menuentries i used | 01:57 |
| psycho_oreos | KeyBoardx86, makes lspci output both numeric forms and resolved ID along with any loaded kernel modules along with available kernel modules | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | michael_: You can get to the installer but it won't find its files and will instead need to download everything from the internet. | 01:57 |
| michael_ | Jordan_U, alright, thanks | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: No. | 01:58 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: the other parttions are given sizes but this is only filesystem with no sizes | 01:58 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: The one labeled "Filesystem" is not what you're interested in at the moment. | 01:58 |
| mdg2 | okay, one more question... how do I play the *.mid files on my computer? | 01:59 |
| Tadcrazio | Does anyone know how to uncheck the box that says "manage windows without launcher" in docky? Without having to have two docks open? | 01:59 |
| Monotoko | anyone got any idea how I set the equivilant of Windows envrionment variables in Ubuntu? | 02:00 |

| psycho_oreos | Monotoko, set | 02:01 |
| Monotoko | psycho_oreos, ...some things are just so simple >< | 02:01 |
| psycho_oreos | Monotoko, err you make the variable and then you use export | 02:01 |
| Monotoko | hahaha, I thought you meant a command called set | 02:01 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U is it named filesystem | 02:01 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U i found it | 02:02 |
| Monotoko | psycho_oreos, does Linux have a path variable? | 02:02 |
| psycho_oreos | Monotoko, well yeah that just prints environment variables rather than setting them | 02:02 |
| psycho_oreos | Monotoko, yes $PATH | 02:02 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: does it have lib, media, home, lost+found directories? | 02:03 |
| Monotoko | psycho_oreos, can I add to it? | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: No. | 02:03 |
| psycho_oreos | Monotoko, yes, you might want to have a read at BASH programming and BASH HOWTO | 02:03 |
| Monotoko | psycho_oreos, thank you...I know a bit of bash scripting but not that much | 02:03 |
| DK | I a writing a script and want to echo a year that the user enters as 4 digits back as a 2 digit year and can't figure how to pad the leading zero. Any suggestions? | 02:04 |
| psycho_oreos | Monotoko, indeed I can see :) everyone had to start from somewhere | 02:04 |
| DK | It's a bash script by the way | 02:04 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: then there is a root ubuntu directory top-level which has desktop, documents, pictures, videos? | 02:04 |
| === zero is now known as Guest44165 | ||
| psycho_oreos | DK, maybe use something like awk or sed | 02:06 |
| G1Bs0N | whats a good BT # it would be appreciated ? | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Can you open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), run "sudo blkid", then use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give a link to the output? | 02:07 |
| DK | psycho_oreos: Great name btw. It is for a class and we haven't gone over awk or sed yet so I don't really know their syntax yet. Is there a way to do it with echo but just easier with awk and sed or is it not really possible to pad in that way? | 02:08 |
| rofflecoptor1 | does anybody know why my system is cooked | 02:08 |
| rofflecoptor1 | i did that part -l thing | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | rofflecoptor1: Your partition table is invalid (contains overlapping partitions). | 02:09 |
| rofflecoptor1 | what does that mean | 02:10 |
| psycho_oreos | DK, heh thanks... not sure, but if the script is calling upon external command you could probably enclose the external command in quotes followed by making echo printing leading zeroes | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | rofflecoptor1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"? | 02:10 |

| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Ok. Run "sudo mkdir -p /tmp/mountpoints/sda{1,5,6,7}" | 02:13 |
| DK | psycho_oreos: It's actually a 4 digit year that is passed in and referenced with $3. Now that you mention it though I bet I could just add an if statement to check if it is in the 2000-2010 range and then just echo 0${year}. | 02:13 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: It should complete without any output (just bringing you back to a prompt). | 02:14 |

| psycho_oreos | DK, probably heh, I am not sure exactly how you want it to work :) | 02:14 |

| Nisstyre65 | also the seperate O'Reilly books on sed and awk I'm sure are great | 02:18 |
| ilovefairuz | iRabbit: you wouldn't find that in the kernel configuration, you probably need to check the loaded driver, try: sudo lshw -C display | 02:19 |
| waldy | gotta go guys, lunchtime - thanks for the tip on askubuntu.com - it looks like a decent resource of info. | 02:19 |

| ilovefairuz | Nisstyre65: a rootkit needs a vulnerability to exploit, on a fully updated/patched system, the chances are minimal (only zero day exploits that get fixed right away ) | 02:22 |
| iRabbit | ilovefairuz, that didn't show the information I needed :( | 02:22 |

| Benkinooby | WilliamHerry, the one from Adobe?! | 02:31 |
| sorak | irabbit, thats quite vague. what do you expect the kernel to say? | 02:31 |
| alg3r | acroread = adobe reader? | 02:31 |

| iRabbit | sorak, I personally dont know... but "he | 02:32 |
| iRabbit | will know it when he sees it | 02:32 |

| ilovefairuz | iRabbit: the kernel itself is barely concerned with the specifics of what the driver does or doesn't support | 02:34 |
| Benkinooby | alg3r, WilliamHerry yes. okular is too big. but to me it is the best pdf viewer when i comes to functionality | 02:35 |
| iRabbit | ilovefairuz, ugh.... all I need is the CLI to view the kernel configuration. If thats not the information I need then let us find out the hardway :) | 02:35 |
| alg3r | so, it means okular still being supported? I can get it from sources? | 02:36 |
| WilliamHerry | Benkinooby, so, i should try all of them and find out which is the best, good luck | 02:36 |
| Benkinooby | alg3r, for sure. it's in the repository | 02:36 |
| spivwaq | Nisstyre65, I don't know what the ubuntu cmd is | 02:36 |
| WilliamHerry | you | 02:36 |
| Nisstyre65 | spivwaq, hold on a sec | 02:36 |
| alg3r | cool. I'll give it a try. but dude, u still have to keep looking :P | 02:36 |
| Benkinooby | WilliamHerry, ? never said that. i was just asking if some1 has a good alternative at hand | 02:37 |
| Benkinooby | WilliamHerry, never asked you to do my work. | 02:37 |
| Nisstyre65 | spivwaq, type this exactly and hit enter "sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager start ; nm-applet &" | 02:37 |
| ilovefairuz | iRabbit: ok there you go, the kernel is configured at runtime through the "/proc" and/or "/sys" pseudo filesystems, some configuration values may be passed as parameters to the kernel line in grub configuration files | 02:37 |
| WilliamHerry | Benkinooby, my misspell | 02:37 |
| Nisstyre65 | spivwaq, if it doesn't work then paste the output and put it on ubuntu.paste.com and link it here | 02:38 |

| Jordan_U | hakimsheriff: AVG has a linux version. | 02:47 |
| st__ | hakimsheriff, you don't need antivirus in vista or 7 | 02:47 |
| trojan_spike | hakimsheriff, u wont need anti-virus on linux | 02:47 |
| Nisstyre65 | hakimsheriff, are you trying to scan your windows partition from linux? | 02:47 |
| trojan_spike | st__, sure u would | 02:47 |

| DK | psycho_oreos and Nisstyre65 thanks for the book suggestions. Sorry for the delay, I had to step away to cook. I'll check them out. | 02:48 |
| Nisstyre65 | hakimsheriff, if you're REALLY paranoid you can install a firewall for linux and an IDS like snort | 02:48 |
| st__ | hakimsheriff, antiviruses was needed for win2000, in lesser extent for XP; antiviruses for Vista are generally scereware | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | ahs4n: Ok, final test to check that everything is as it should be. Run "if sudo /usr/share/lupin-support/grub-mkimage --test; then echo All clear; else echo Failure; fi" | 02:49 |

| Benkinooby | hakimsheriff, virosprotection on a dualboot system is a bit of a "belief" thing. i, for instance, use avira on my seldomly used win xp. on ubuntu i run nothing like that at all | 02:52 |
| tony_mahoon | Gulfstream: use openoffice calc http://www.openofficetips.com/category/charting/ | 02:53 |
| ahs4n | Jordan_U: All clear | 02:53 |

| id10t | Gulfstream, yeah, document format compatable | 02:56 |
| ilovefairuz | hakimsheriff: they are almost no gnu/linux "viruses" and that's why you don't need an antivirus on ubuntu | 02:56 |
| Gulfstream | hakinsheriff: I use AVG. I haven't seen a problem since I started using AVG | 02:56 |
| id10t | Gulfstream, but if you start a new doc you need to remember to save as the .docx/xlsx or whatever format | 02:56 |

Other shares without restrictions still allows the same user to see the shares.

| IdleOne | yxz97: please keep the language clean, acronyms are not welcome either. thank you. | 03:23 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, what'up? | 03:23 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, whats'up? | 03:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: You're going to need one of two things. A USB key with >=700Mb, or you can try booting the ISO from grub2 and then reinstalling Ubuntu from that. | 03:24 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Those are the easiest ways I know of to reinstall Ubuntu without a cd and without using other computers in the process. | 03:24 |
| Young_Hova | SpaceGhostC2C, It is too complicated all he has to do is burn the live disk | 03:24 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, I have a USB and I already told you the partitions in this USB Drive | 03:25 |
| yxz97 | I did | 03:25 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: Perhaps you should ask in the channel instead of PM'ing me. I'm only one person. | 03:25 |
| yxz97 | gru2 not sure how works | 03:25 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: I'm just saying you have some choices. :) | 03:25 |
| yxz97 | grub2 not sure how works | 03:25 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, yeah yeah I understand | 03:25 |
| Young_Hova | I told you it would be too complicated for him | 03:26 |
| al_nz1 | anyone know a way with sed using patterns to seperate 3 words, like "Able Tasman Park" into "Tasman Park" ? | 03:26 |
| al_nz1 | ie remove first word | 03:26 |
| Young_Hova | yxz97, Just burn an Ubuntu Live disk and master that install first | 03:26 |
| WilliamHerry | awk '{ print $2 $3}' | 03:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Young_Hova: Perhaps he doesn't want or can't do a livecd. What nao? | 03:27 |
| Nisstyre65 | al_nz1, use cut | 03:27 |
| tzicatl | Hi all. I can't change the brightness on a Gateway Laptop. Where can I start debugging this? | 03:27 |
| yxz97 | Young_Hova, dont you hell understand what I'm being talking to you since last 20 minutes! | 03:27 |
| al_nz1 | Nisstyre65, thats a new command for me | 03:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Calm down. | 03:27 |
| Young_Hova | SpaceGhostC2C, then he should switch back to Windows | 03:28 |
| xttaetg | when I install the software gmlive ,have a error:you intltools is too old,but i have install the newer | 03:28 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Young_Hova: That attitude isn't helpful. | 03:28 |
| Young_Hova | SpaceGhostC2C, lol | 03:28 |
| id10t | yxz97, extract the cd contents and use the wubi install? (you know now everything about wubi that i know...) | 03:28 |
| yxz97 | no wubi, wth!!! | 03:28 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: You can boot into windows and use wubi if you wanted. | 03:28 |
| yxz97 | what is that dudee? id10t | 03:28 |
| castlec1 | All, I'm having trouble disabling nouveau in 10.10 to install the proprietary drivers. Any advice? | 03:28 |
| yxz97 | no i m using ubuntu now, here | 03:28 |
| al_nz1 | WilliamHerry, was that answer for me? | 03:29 |
| id10t | yxz97, lets you run/install ubuntu from within windows | 03:29 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: You have those options. Take them or leave them, it's all I can give you. | 03:29 |
| yxz97 | Im running, playing with unetbootin | 03:29 |
| rofflecoptor | i need some srs help | 03:29 |
| palint240 | hola | 03:29 |
| Young_Hova | id10t, you seem like a Jedi and you are trying to give instructions to a Padawan | 03:29 |
| rofflecoptor | i can't log into my ubuntu normally | 03:29 |
| rofflecoptor | or my windows | 03:29 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Ask them :) | 03:29 |
| palint240 | hola | 03:29 |
| WilliamHerry | al_nz1: you can use cut instand of sed, | 03:29 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, hey, .... | 03:29 |
| tzicatl | palint240: hola :) | 03:29 |
| palint240 | como estan :) | 03:29 |
| rofflecoptor | i did a while back but nobody ever answered me | 03:29 |
| yxz97 | yo hablo español tambien! tzicatl | 03:29 |
| palint240 | :O | 03:29 |
| rofflecoptor | they asked me to run some commands and i did | 03:29 |
| yxz97 | !language | 03:29 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:29 |
| palint240 | cool | 03:29 |
| tzicatl | palint240: wooow | 03:29 |
| palint240 | enceñame inglishs :) | 03:30 |
| yxz97 | !language | tzicatl | 03:30 |
| ubottu | tzicatl: please see above | 03:30 |
| yxz97 | lol | 03:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !es | yxz97 | 03:30 |
| ubottu | yxz97: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 03:30 |
| tzicatl | palint240: este es un canal en inglès. | 03:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | And don't abuse the bot, yxz97. | 03:30 |
| WilliamHerry | awk '{ print $2,$3 }' is also work al_nz1 | 03:30 |
| palint240 | ok | 03:30 |
| tzicatl | ubottu: sorry about that | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:30 |
| rofflecoptor | i was trying to upgrade my ubuntu 8.04 to the new one when it overheated | 03:31 |
| rofflecoptor | i put some new thermal paste in and cleaned it | 03:31 |
| al_nz1 | WilliamHerry, I have a long list of words, most are one word per line, some are two and three per line | 03:31 |
| rofflecoptor | and when i logged back in it would screw up while booting | 03:31 |
| rio_ | hi everyone! | 03:31 |
| al_nz1 | the two and three words per line need to be seperated onto there own line | 03:31 |
| yagoo | rofflecoptor, you changed the thermal paste for the cpu? | 03:32 |
| rofflecoptor | i would get this General error mounting filesystems | 03:32 |
| rofflecoptor | ya for the cpu | 03:32 |
| yagoo | lol | 03:32 |
| rofflecoptor | it was almost gone | 03:32 |
| rio_ | is there anyone who installed apache webserver on his linux? i want pdo_mysql.so file to load it via dl() function.i dont have a linux system.but need it. | 03:32 |
| yagoo | rofflecoptor, maybe the processor was not the problem at all.. | 03:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Has the system been damaged during the overheat? | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | sprung: you here? | 03:32 |
| WilliamHerry | al_nz1: i don't know very well about sed | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | no | 03:33 |
| sprung | test | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | thank you | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | if i go into the boot cd | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | i can see all my old windows folders and ubuntu folders | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | but when i try to boot normally | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | or even in recovery mode i keep getting errors | 03:33 |
| tzicatl | So, I will ask my question again :) Hi all. I can't change the brightness on a Gateway Laptop with ubuntu 10.10. I already played with the /proc/api/video/*/brigthness | 03:33 |
| tzicatl | settings and get no results. Where else can should I look to debug this? | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | and everything is all read only | 03:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Maybe your filesystem is damaged. Have you fsck'd it? | 03:33 |
| rofflecoptor | how do i do that | 03:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Boot from livecd | 03:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: man fsck | 03:34 |
| Kevman | I'm trying to migrate my installation to a new HD, but I can't seem to get grub installed. I installed "grub-pc" but it didn't seem to pull down the actual program "grub" | 03:34 |
| rofflecoptor | kk i am | 03:34 |
| yagoo | rofflecoptor, maybe the device map is changed... do a fdisk -l or cfdisk -l<ist?> and compare it to the drive's /etc/fstab | 03:34 |
| sprung | I'm using Ubuntu One and either it's going very slow uploading my files or something's not working right. It has generated the empty folders and directory tree but there's no files. Is this normal, does it just take a while to get it all uploaded? i'm not seeing any progress bars to tell me. | 03:34 |
| Nisstyre65 | al_nz1, echo "1 2 3" | cut -d " " -f 2,3 | 03:34 |
| Nisstyre65 | or in your case echo "Able Tasman Park" | cut -d " " -f 2,3 | 03:35 |
| IdleOne | sprung: if you don't get an answer in here there is also #ubuntuone that maybe can help | 03:35 |
| WilliamHerry | sprung: ps -ef | grep ubuntuone | 03:35 |
| sprung | oh | 03:35 |
| Monotoko | why is this cron job not working? "35 3 * * * vlc -R /home/monotoko/alarm2.mp3" | 03:36 |
| yxz97 | hey | 03:36 |
| Monotoko | should run it at 03:35? | 03:36 |
| yxz97 | ok, so unetbootin creates a bootable unit in my USB? | 03:36 |
| rofflecoptor | none of that looks the same or seems to work | 03:36 |
| Skapare | Monotoko: what is the full path to vlc? | 03:37 |
| yxz97 | from there I reboot the computer and .. install from the USB to my laptop? | 03:37 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Probably reformats it in the process. | 03:37 |
| bazhang | yxz97, provided its large enough, yes | 03:37 |
| yxz97 | is this the process? | 03:37 |
| rofflecoptor | like when i first boot up i see grub | 03:37 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | bazhang: Does it reformat the drive too? | 03:37 |
| rofflecoptor | and can see my recovery and windows | 03:37 |
| bazhang | SpaceGhostC2C, yes | 03:37 |
| rofflecoptor | but i can't boot into windows | 03:37 |
| Monotoko | Skapare, ...I am not quite sure, I installed it from apt, I believe it is in one of the bin folders though | 03:37 |
| rofflecoptor | and either linux option just does the same thing | 03:37 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, format, scare me | 03:37 |
| zhoop | Hola a todos | 03:37 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Skapare: `which vlc` | 03:37 |
| yxz97 | I hope not lost of my other partitions, but I check and not | 03:37 |
| Skapare | Monotoko: do "which vlc" to get the full path | 03:37 |
| rofflecoptor | and when i try to reinstall it, it says it doesn't see any partitions | 03:38 |
| Skapare | Monotoko: then use that full put in the crontab | 03:38 |
| yxz97 | unetbootin now says... | 03:38 |
| bazhang | rofflecoptor, please keep it on a single line, its very hard to follow otherwise | 03:38 |
| yxz97 | Reboot current | 03:38 |
| rofflecoptor | so i can't even reinstall it without screwing up my windows partition and having to reinstall that | 03:38 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: It's possible, that if you just ran unetbootin, you just reformatted your usb drive. If you didn't run it, then you didn't lose your data. | 03:38 |
| yxz97 | after rebooting, select the USB boot option from the bios boot menu, Reboot now? | 03:38 |
| Monotoko | Skapare, done...lets see what happens in a minute | 03:38 |
| swim | hey, does anybody here know how to change kompozer's split view to include all the source code instead of just the currently selected element??? | 03:39 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, you are the guys more consufin in the worls | 03:39 |
| Monotoko | Skapare, nothing happened...does aplay play mp3s? | 03:39 |
| yxz97 | world | 03:39 |
| yxz97 | haha | 03:39 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: I'm sorry. | 03:39 |
| yxz97 | ok, I'll reboot, and check of this machine has USB booting capability, I hope so | 03:39 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, no problem, is just confusing for me, understand.. | 03:40 |
| Skapare | Monotoko: there might be a permissions problem, too ... make a script that gets run by cron ... which writes a message to a file and runs vlc (full path in the script) | 03:40 |
| yxz97 | I'm a programmer, SpaceGhostC2C so, I prefer no ambiguos language, and be more specific at all | 03:40 |
| yxz97 | brb | 03:40 |
| yxz97 | hope | 03:40 |
| iwan | thanks guys can now see 4GB Ram | 03:41 |
| Skapare | yxz97: FYI: I have pre-built images of Ubuntu ready to directly dd to a USB memory stick ... no unetbootin needed ... but it DOES erase the whole device | 03:41 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | iwan: L:) | 03:41 |
| iRabbit | skapare: he quit | 03:41 |
| Skapare | iRabbit: his loss | 03:41 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Skapare: unetbootin does it a bit cleaner. | 03:42 |
| Skapare | SpaceGhostC2C: depends ... you haven't seen how I do it :) | 03:42 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Skapare: Whatever. :) | 03:42 |
| Skapare | SpaceGhostC2C: my images can be dd'd to USB ... AND ... can still also be used as an ISO and burned to a DVD | 03:42 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | I personally just run a pxe server. | 03:42 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Skapare: Pretty much the same with the ubuntu iso, no? | 03:43 |
| Skapare | SpaceGhostC2C: PXE is fine, too | 03:43 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Anyways, this isn't a discussion channel. | 03:43 |
| cfs_x | People are sleeping in the xubuntu channel. I just wanted to know how to change the background image on the login screen. | 03:43 |
| Skapare | SpaceGhostC2C: mine is the ubuntu ISO with a few changes to make it work dd'd to USB memory stick flash drive | 03:43 |
| Monotoko | Skapare, I tried mplayer and it is working, I suspect its because vlc doesn't like not being given a display to run from | 03:43 |
| Jp82191 | how do i extract mp3 from a flv file | 03:44 |
| Skapare | Monotoko: that's probably the issue | 03:44 |
| rofflecoptor | When i first boot up i see grub the way it normally is and can see my normal ubuntu, recovery, and windows. If I go into either linux option just does the same thing. If I try to go into windows it screws up and won't boot into windows. If I look on my hard drive while in the live cd I can see everything fine. I have most of my stuff on my ubuntu partition backed up that I want so I don't mind reinstalling it, but when I try to install | 03:44 |
| avelldiroll | Jp82191: ffmpeg -i vid.flv -acodec copy output.mp3 | 03:45 |
| yxz97 | I fail! | 03:45 |
| yagoo | rofflecoptor, what do you mean "does the same thing" for ubuntu. does it work or not? (for fixing windows boots-- use the free paragon rescue kit cd) | 03:45 |
| Monotoko | how do I kill all current jobs in a terminal? | 03:45 |
| yxz97 | I boot successfully but I get a error | 03:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Which was? | 03:45 |
| yxz97 | says, couldnot find image kernel linux | 03:45 |
| Jp82191 | avelldiroll: under terminal? | 03:45 |
| yxz97 | wtf, is that | 03:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Monotoko: all current jobs, as in? | 03:45 |
| st__ | yxz97, you didn't boot | 03:45 |
| Monotoko | SpaceGhostC2C, as in the ones that have been backgrounded | 03:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: You've been told, your TLA's aren't family friendly. | 03:46 |
| avelldiroll | Jp82191: yes ... youn need to install the ffmpeg package first | 03:46 |
| yxz97 | TLAs? | 03:46 |
| palint240 | mmm | 03:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Three letter acronyms. | 03:46 |
| yxz97 | Jessus.. what's that? | 03:46 |
| Skapare | SpaceGhostC2C: in case you are curious ... http://slashusr.net/ubuntu/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso.img | 03:46 |
| Jp82191 | avelldiroll: installing now | 03:46 |
| rofflecoptor | yagoo it goes along fine for a minute then just fails and says 'General error mounting filesystems' and i get the root@laptop prompt | 03:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ubottu: tell yxz97 about wtf | 03:46 |
| ubottu | yxz97, please see my private message | 03:46 |
| yagoo | yxz97, he doesn't know anything.. but try to be more efficient in your questions.. | 03:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Skapare: thanks, but no thanks. :) | 03:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yagoo: who doesn't know anything? | 03:47 |
| Monotoko | ubottu: tell Monotoko about wtf | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Monotoko, please see my private message | 03:47 |
| rofflecoptor | which is retarded because I can still type login and login and see all the contents of my home folder | 03:47 |
| yxz97 | OK, so because I'm from not your family? | 03:47 |
| yxz97 | that the problem? ah??? | 03:47 |
| avelldiroll | Jp82191: if it's not already done, it might be a good idea to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" too | 03:47 |
| yagoo | rofflecoptor, this isn't a channel on fixing your windows boot.. I gave you a hint of a tool about it ^^ | 03:47 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Keep your language g-rated | 03:47 |
| rofflecoptor | im talking about my ubuntu boot | 03:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yagoo: It's not specifically windows. | 03:48 |
| yxz97 | st__, help me | 03:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: So, you can't boot into either system? | 03:48 |
| yxz97 | st__, what was that error? | 03:48 |
| rofflecoptor | i can't boot into windows at all | 03:48 |
| yagoo | rofflecoptor, wrong channel again. | 03:48 |
| yxz97 | st__, I made the wrong with UNetbootin? | 03:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Just windows, or windows and another OS? | 03:48 |
| st__ | yxz97, the partition you selected had no kernel, and wan't your os partition | 03:48 |
| rofflecoptor | i just told you windows isn't the problem | 03:48 |
| rofflecoptor | when i boot into ubuntu | 03:49 |
| sprung | now ubuntuone-preferences won't start | 03:49 |
| sprung | ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on com.ubuntuone.Preferences:/: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. | 03:49 |
| rio_ | anyone installed php on his ubuntu????? | 03:49 |
| rofflecoptor | it get the same problem | 03:49 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !ask | rio_ | 03:49 |
| ubottu | rio_: 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. :-) | 03:49 |
| * yagoo thinkgs rofflecoptor is trolling about "it" ambiguous boot issues. | 03:49 | |
| Skapare | rio_: php on my servers at work | 03:49 |
| rofflecoptor | omg | 03:49 |
| yxz97 | HELP BY GOD | 03:49 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yagoo: Maybe you should leave the issue alone then. | 03:49 |
| rofflecoptor | i've explained it like 20 different ways | 03:49 |
| rofflecoptor | when i log into ubuntu | 03:49 |
| yxz97 | I select the image is unetbootin | 03:49 |
| rofflecoptor | even my recovery it says General error mounting filesystems and i am in a cli that says root@laptop | 03:50 |
| yxz97 | select my HDD usb, and check it later with Nautilus! | 03:50 |
| yagoo | SpaceGhostC2C, I already have. You help him then... good luck to that. | 03:50 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Ubuntu on your hard drive? | 03:50 |
| rofflecoptor | yes | 03:50 |
| yxz97 | and has the files from the ISO! | 03:50 |
| rio_ | i want to load pdo_mysql.so file on my server buti dont have it. | 03:50 |
| AcidBarrel | hey | 03:50 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: pastebin your /etc/fstab | 03:50 |
| Skapare | rio_: install it | 03:50 |
| yxz97 | DO I need enter a command at the boot prompt? | 03:50 |
| rofflecoptor | only if i go into my normal ubuntu the whole screen is messed up lits all spaced | 03:50 |
| yxz97 | help | 03:51 |
| AcidBarrel | my ubuntu wont connect to my bluetooth, it connects, and sees the cell phone but doesnt appear in the file manager list. | 03:51 |
| rofflecoptor | it says permission denied | 03:51 |
| rio_ | i am not admin. it is a remote host. | 03:51 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rio_: Do you have root access? | 03:51 |
| avelldiroll | rio_: pdo_mysql.so is installed withe the php5-mysql package ... check that it is installed | 03:51 |
| Skapare | rio_: email your admin | 03:51 |
| IdleOne | rio_: then you need to get the sysadmin to install it | 03:51 |
| rofflecoptor | how do i pastebin it if i'm in a cli? | 03:51 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: pastebinit | 03:52 |
| rww | !pastebinit | 03:52 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 03:52 |
| yxz97 | is there any there like to paste images to show you | 03:52 |
| yxz97 | hello | 03:52 |
| yxz97 | ? | 03:52 |
| rww | !imagebin | 03:52 |
| ubottu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. | 03:52 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rww to the bottrigger rescue! | 03:52 |
| IdleOne | yxz97: Please be patient. | 03:52 |
| AcidBarrel | oh no no one can assistg me | 03:52 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | AcidBarrel: See IdleOne's message. | 03:52 |
| rio_ | my admin is not responsible. he said that i can copy that file in my root,then load it via dl() function. | 03:52 |
| cfs_x | Speaking of images, how do I change the background image of the login screen in Xubuntu? | 03:52 |
| Jp82191 | avelldiroll: says no directory found | 03:53 |
| AcidBarrel | he's telling yxz to wait | 03:53 |
| AcidBarrel | i dont get it | 03:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | AcidBarrel: The patience part. | 03:53 |
| IdleOne | AcidBarrel: being patient is good advice for everybody | 03:53 |
| AcidBarrel | lol okay :D | 03:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | AcidBarrel: Repeat the question about every 10-15 minutes. | 03:53 |

| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, st__ IdleOne look this http://imagebin.org/124164 | 03:57 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Okay. So, what happens after you run it? Any errors? | 03:57 |
| yxz97 | whY i get that error from the booter, after boot my machine | 03:57 |
| avelldiroll | Jp82191: so open a terminal and input the following: ffmeg -i /home/jorge/Videos/vid2.flv /home/jorge/Videos/output.mp3 | 03:57 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Try it again. | 03:57 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, be more specific, run what? | 03:57 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: unetbootin. | 03:58 |
| Jp82191 | ok | 03:58 |
| yxz97 | no error | 03:58 |
| cakeep | i see n learn | 03:58 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Did you match the md5 signature of the iso? | 03:58 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, no... help me with that first, your right | 03:58 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, the ISO could be damage! | 03:58 |
| rofflecoptor | said pastebinit wasn't isntalled | 03:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 03:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: apt-get install pastebinit | 03:59 |
| yxz97 | I have a file called ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso | 03:59 |
| yxz97 | I'll check it now! | 03:59 |
| IdleOne | rofflecoptor: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 03:59 |
| yxz97 | :D | 03:59 |
| rofflecoptor | then when i followed directions to install it said some stuff aboutdpkg was interrupted and things are all locked | 03:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Good idea! | 03:59 |
| yagoo | :o .. still on the pastebinit.. | 03:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: sudo apt-get install -f | 03:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yagoo: Was that constructive or helpful? | 03:59 |
| yagoo | SpaceGhostC2C, this is not a discussion channel. | 04:00 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yagoo: Exactly my point. | 04:00 |
| dwayne_ | Im remotely Setting up my gf computer for ubuntu and its stopping short on the install | 04:00 |
| rofflecoptor | that didn't work either | 04:00 |
| yagoo | "<SpaceGhostC2C> Anyways, this isn't a discussion channel." | 04:00 |
| rofflecoptor | sad 'Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock' | 04:00 |
| yagoo | definitely has no sense of discussion heads. | 04:00 |
| rofflecoptor | and below it it said 'dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run...' | 04:01 |
| iRabbit | Is this a discussion channel or did I stumble onto DALNet? | 04:01 |
| yagoo | it's a closet kid. | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | rofflecoptor: run the command in that message | 04:01 |
| dwayne_ | it says ready when you are | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | yagoo: stay on topic please | 04:01 |
| rofflecoptor | i've done all this stuff before | 04:01 |
| yagoo | IdleOne, I'm on topic. But some folks don't know how to help. | 04:01 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: And no changes at all? | 04:01 |
| rofflecoptor | it says 'dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system' | 04:02 |
| IdleOne | yagoo: you are not helping now. Please stop the offtopic comments | 04:02 |
| rofflecoptor | when i run it | 04:02 |
| avelldiroll | Jp82191: did it work then ? | 04:02 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: So, then possibly give us the line that is relevant to your / fs in /etc/fstab | 04:02 |
| yagoo | IdleOne, that was a rude comment I quoted. Sadly you don't see that. | 04:02 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: and /etc/mtab | 04:02 |
| yagoo | "." | 04:02 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, hey | 04:02 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Any changes? | 04:02 |
| zeviroksz | hello. I need to open an .MDE file from microsoft access in ubuntu. I try using openoffice base but it isn't work. Please help. Thank you. | 04:02 |
| IdleOne | yagoo: sadly you don't seem to understand when to drop it. | 04:02 |
| yxz97 | the iso is not corrupted | 04:03 |
| yxz97 | thats something | 04:03 |
| yxz97 | hehe | 04:03 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Okay. so, try unetbootin with that iso again, hopefully it will work. | 04:03 |
| rofflecoptor | im typing it manually and i'll pastebin it in a second | 04:03 |
| * iRabbit grabs popcorn | 04:03 | |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Very cool. :) | 04:03 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, did you see the image I paste? | 04:03 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: The original, yes. | 04:03 |
| yagoo | kids. lol. | 04:03 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Try running the install again. Are you sure that /dev/sdb1 is the usb drive? | 04:04 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: You do realize IdleOne is an op and you're not helping the situation by not dropping it right? | 04:04 |
| Jp82191 | avelldiroll: yes it worked thank you!! | 04:04 |
| KENDAL | anyone know why my keyboard sometimes dont work on ubuntu 10.10?? | 04:04 |
| yxz97 | Yeah I said I check it with nautilus and this partion was empty, but now has all the files there... | 04:04 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Disregard that last message. | 04:04 |
| IdleOne | SpaceGhostC2C: he left | 04:04 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | IdleOne: His loss. | 04:04 |
| AcidBarrel | I figured it out... Bluetooth manager did what i needed | 04:04 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Did you run unetbootin? | 04:05 |
| rww | IdleOne: no he didn't | 04:05 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, did you confuse me with another mate? | 04:05 |
| IdleOne | rww: ? | 04:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Yes, sorry about that. | 04:05 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, I notice | 04:05 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, no problem | 04:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Did you run the unetbootin installer again? | 04:05 |
| sl33k_ | i have downloaded YUM file for adobe flash player, how to install it? | 04:06 |
| yxz97 | Can be confusing give help to many fellas at the same time | 04:06 |
| yxz97 | I guess | 04:06 |
| yxz97 | I will, I will give me a second | 04:06 |
| IdleOne | rww: SpaceGhostC2C tab complete failed but we both knew what we were talking about :) | 04:06 |
| rww | IdleOne: yeah. Just figured that out >.> | 04:06 |
| rio_ | people! i want only this file(pdo_mysql.so) to download.if you have php on your ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| yxz97 | I will delete everything from that partitions to ensure that unetbootin does the copy and extract of the files SpaceGhostC2C | 04:06 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, hey | 04:06 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, what0s this alternate, ISO image about? | 04:07 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rio_: The majority of people who use Ubuntu don't use php in the way your system admin is suggesting you to. It's a rather odd way. | 04:07 |
| angbermu | sl33k_: are you going to install it in Ubuntu? | 04:07 |
| mokhtar | Hello guys , is there a command line that when i write i get information about my username ? Like "WhoAmI" but returns the real name and groups and these stuff ? | 04:07 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, servet, netbook, desktop, sound common, but alternate, is not specific at all! | 04:07 |
| IdleOne | !alternate | yxz97 | 04:07 |
| ubottu | yxz97: 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 | 04:07 |

| ^Mike | How can I move my emails and settings from thunderbird on one computer to thunderbird on another computer? | 04:09 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: Ubuntu uses dpkg and apt. | 04:09 |

| avelldiroll | mokhtar: add this one too: finger | 04:09 |
| st__ | it's not mandriva | 04:09 |
| iRabbit | |NX|1: I recommend installing with the CD, too many issues with the Wubi | 04:09 |
| |NX|1 | iRabbit: I want to use wubi | 04:09 |
| |NX|1 | Installing with a CD is not a valid option :P | 04:09 |
| xttaetg | yes i know | 04:09 |
| Ronaldlo | How might I get open GL on ubuntu 10.10? Any quick and easy terminal methods? | 04:09 |
| xttaetg | but i want to use yum | 04:09 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Boot into the ubuntu livecd, and then you'll want to fsck the partition/drive that / is on. | 04:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: Then I suggest you switch distros. | 04:10 |
| iRabbit | |NX|1: I would try running off a USB flash drive, if thats viable | 04:10 |
| sl33k_ | angbermu: ya | 04:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Fedora is available. | 04:10 |
| rofflecoptor | how do i do that? | 04:10 |
| |NX|1 | iRabbit: also not viable | 04:10 |
| IdleOne | yum is in the repos | 04:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Do you have an ubuntu cd? | 04:10 |
| |NX|1 | I'm getting error 11-19 22:59 ERROR root: [Errno 22] Invalid argument | 04:10 |
| IdleOne | not sure why you would want to use it though | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | xttaetg: If you want to use yum then you should use a different distribution. What's wrong with apt/dpkg? | 04:10 |
| rofflecoptor | ya its booting | 04:10 |
| |NX|1 | with wubi | 04:10 |
| |NX|1 | anyone familiar with that? | 04:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | IdleOne: Doesn't that make things a little messy? | 04:11 |
| Ronaldlo | Can I boot off of a thumb drive with yaboot? | 04:11 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, extracting files and copying Files | 04:11 |
| mokhtar | Finger needs to be installed .. BTW, Thanx Very Much .. | 04:11 |
| IdleOne | SpaceGhostC2C: I would think so | 04:11 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, .. | 04:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: :) | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | Ronaldlo: Are you using a PPC machine? | 04:11 |
| firewaterburnz | would anyone have any idea what might cause | 04:11 |
| xttaetg | no problem | 04:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: The best option I can give you is to use a rpm based distro. | 04:11 |
| Ronaldlo | yes, you remember me dont you :) | 04:11 |

| sl33k_ | how do i install adobee flash on ubuntu | 04:12 |
| sl33k_ | ? | 04:12 |
| |NX|1 | Jordan_U: Because I want to use wubi | 04:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | sl33k_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras is one. Umm one sec. | 04:13 |
| Ronaldlo | Jordan_U: yes, I am on a PPC, you remember me dont you :) | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | |NX|1: You don't need to use a CD to install Ubuntu normally. | 04:13 |
| |NX|1 | I will not be satisfied until I figure out what is wrong with wubi :P | 04:13 |
| IdleOne | sl33k_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 04:13 |
| mrnelson1986 | sl33k_, easiest way? install ubuntu-tweak and click the check-mark next to flash | 04:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | sl33k_: What IdleOne said. | 04:13 |
| st__ | !tweak | 04:13 |
| angbermu | sl33k_: you can try many things, download the deb or the bin file provided by adobe or go to ubuntu software center and search for adobe reader | 04:13 |
| IdleOne | no needfor ubuntu tweak or whatever it is called | 04:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !flash | sl33k_ | 04:13 |
| ubottu | sl33k_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 04:13 |
| rio_ | people! i am tired! i want you searching in your php installation path for pdo_mysql.so and send it for me. it is not so hard. | 04:13 |
| firewaterburnz | sorry I am a newb...does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver? | 04:14 |
| mrnelson1986 | ubuntu tweak is handy for more reasons than just flash, i liked it when i was on ubuntu before i switched to arch | 04:14 |
| avelldiroll | sl33k_: listen to IdleOne | 04:14 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C okay the livecd has loaded | 04:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rio_: I'm sorry, but the answer you seek won't be here if you don't play nicely. :) | 04:14 |

| zeviroksz | hello. I need help to open this mde files in ubuntu... | 04:15 |
| rww | yxz97: That's not what !language is for. | 04:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Don't abuse the bot please. | 04:15 |
| avelldiroll | rio_: you can fetch it yourself : http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/php5-mysql | 04:15 |
| _jesse_ | Ed_Money: ls -l | wc -l | 04:15 |
| IdleOne | SpaceGhostC2C: is he set to boot from USB in bios? | 04:15 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, yes.... | 04:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | IdleOne: Oh wait. He did say his ubuntu was borked. | 04:15 |
| Ed_Money | _jesse_: thanks much | 04:16 |
| iRabbit | |NX|1: Wubi is a great concept for end users who are Windows dependent.... however it is very buggy. You would be better off with Ubuntu on a USB flash drive, Live CD, or CD boot install. | 04:16 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, that question is out of side, becuase If I get the grub asking mefor the kernel... | 04:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: If you boot into your ubuntu install, what error do you get? The sameone? | 04:16 |
| firewaterburnz | appologies once again for the paste...does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver? | 04:16 |
| IdleOne | yxz97: right, sorry :) | 04:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | s/sameone/same one/ | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | |NX|1: It looks like a problem downloading the iso. You can probably work around it by downloading the iso yourself and putting it in the same directory as the wubi executeable. | 04:16 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, no problem, but help me! | 04:16 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C it says 'No manual entry for fsk' | 04:16 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, :S | 04:16 |
| FloodBot3 | yxz97: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: fsck then? | 04:16 |
| sl33k_ | is gnu gnash also required? | 04:17 |
| _jesse_ | Ed_Money: ls -la | wc -l if you want to count hidden files :) make sure to subtract two for the 'special' . and .. files | 04:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | sl33k_: No | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, could not find image kernel: linux | 04:17 |
| IdleOne | yxz97: SpaceGhostC2C is trying, let him try and get this worked out with you. just need to be patient a bit. | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | this one! SpaceGhostC2C | 04:17 |
| Ronaldlo | Can I boot off of a thumb drive with yaboot? Ubuntu PPC port | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | IdleOne, yeah sorry | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | its weird this error, I mean... | 04:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: So, if you boot from the ubuntu on the hard drive, then you get a "could not find image kernel: linux" ? | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | linux image kernel, wtf... | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | sorry! | 04:17 |
| yxz97 | :S | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | Ronaldlo: You should be able to, yes. I'm guessing that you're asking because it isn't working for you though :) | 04:18 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, exactly I mean that is what is being reading from the USB drive | 04:18 |
| IdleOne | Ronaldlo: might try asking in #ubuntu-ppc, it is a small channel and might be quiet at the moment. | 04:18 |
| yxz97 | could be Unetbootin buggy? | 04:18 |
| Ronaldlo | Jordan_U: I'm asking because I have no idea how I would. | 04:18 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: It's possible that it is. | 04:18 |
| yxz97 | I would like format this partition. | 04:18 |
| Ronaldlo | IdleOne: I tried once, everyone idle | 04:18 |
| yxz97 | okok, unetbootin is not good in this work | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Are you running unetbootin from Ubuntu or from windows? | 04:19 |
| IdleOne | Ronaldlo: try reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 04:19 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, ubuntu I said before mate | 04:19 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | IdleOne: What a wiki title! | 04:19 |

| Ronaldlo | IdleOne: I'm not dual booting. I got rid of osX completely | 04:20 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: fdisk or my favorite cfdisk | 04:20 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: You might want to try using grub2 instead. | 04:20 |
| rio_ | avelldiroll: thanks a world! but i have windows7 how can i open these.deb files? | 04:20 |
| IdleOne | Ronaldlo: still the guide might be helpful | 04:20 |
| tibman | my favorite way to formatt is gparted | 04:20 |
| Ed_Money | how can I combine all files in a directory in one file? | 04:20 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, yeah but let give a second change to unetbootin.. SpaceGhostC2C are we out of ideas? | 04:21 |
| yxz97 | or I need try grub2? SpaceGhostC2C :S | 04:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: would it work to boot an ISO with grub2 in order to reinstall ubuntu on the partition the iso is on? | 04:21 |
| Ronaldlo | IdleOne: reading it now | 04:21 |
| firewaterburnz | I am new to the art of using the 'make' command. does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver? | 04:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: It's just sort of an odd problem. | 04:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Did you install the build-essential package? | 04:21 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, I bet you man... | 04:21 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C I typed sudo shutdown -F -r now and its kinda just hanging out now | 04:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: And you set your bios to boot from the USB first, right? | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | SpaceGhostC2C: Yes, as long as you have enough RAM (> 1 GiB) to use the "toram" kernel parameter. | 04:21 |
| tibman | i have an ancient lappy with pIII 900mhz and less than a half gig of ram, any recommend a full featured distro that will run semi descent on it? | 04:21 |
| firewaterburnz | no spaceghost let me check to se if its installed | 04:22 |
| jaoziN | hi | 04:22 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, rules! :D | 04:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: shutdown -h is pretty snazzy. | 04:22 |
| yxz97 | hehehe | 04:22 |
| kittkatt1 | Hello, is anyone out there using a PCE-N13 wifi card? | 04:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: Oh, I wasn't sure if it loaded it into ram. | 04:22 |
| avelldiroll | rio_: you do realise this an ubuntu support channel ??? ... i do not use windows ... out of the blue i would suggest 7zip but i have no certitude what so ever | 04:22 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, yeah is booting from USB | 04:22 |
| rofflecoptor | i can't type anything | 04:22 |

| jaoziN | help | 04:22 |
| yxz97 | I will double check in minute when I reboot again just to confirm it is the way it has to be | 04:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | jaoziN: Ask your question. | 04:22 |
| yxz97 | :S | 04:22 |
| tibman | idleone, thanks ill give that a shot | 04:22 |
| iRabbit | !help | 04:22 |
| 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. :-) | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | SpaceGhostC2C: It doesn't by default, you need to manually add "toram" to the list of kernel parameters. | 04:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Okay. :) | 04:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: Oh that would be the reason why. :) | 04:23 |

| hal | does anyone know of a program that allows you to see what files other software is opening, for debugging purposes? | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: First create a "boot/grub/" directory on the flash drive and in that directory create a grub.cfg file containing an entry as explained here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg | 04:26 |
| IdleOne | AbhiJit: you mean !locales maybe? | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | hal: "lsof" | 04:26 |
| firewaterburnz | no errors, but about 3 pages of make information running | 04:26 |
| |NX|1 | st__: tried that | 04:26 |
| firewaterburnz | then the errors | 04:26 |
| jaoziN | nit-wit: not | 04:26 |
| firewaterburnz | then nothing | 04:26 |
| AbhiJit | IdleOne, amm actually i instlled maverick in vm with our indian local language. but now i want it in english | 04:26 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Perhaps you could give us as much of that as possible. | 04:26 |
| jaoziN | nit-wit: wlan0 No scan results | 04:26 |
| rofflecoptor | man it isn't working | 04:26 |
| nit-wit | jaoziN, look at the link that was given for trouble shooting , maybe try the Ubuntu Forums as well | 04:26 |

| juk | AbhiJit: you have drag language on the top iirc | 04:29 |
| firewaterburnz | okay here is what I get when I try to run it again http://paste.ubuntu.com/534778/ | 04:29 |
| rww | SpaceGhostC2C: FloodBots are quicker than you :( | 04:29 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Don't use sudo. | 04:30 |
| firewaterburnz | k let me try that | 04:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rww: Go chat in #u-ot where librarians are welcome. :( | 04:30 |
| git__ | is there a speed difference b/w intel and amd chip? | 04:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: the usual is: configure; make; sudo make install; | 04:30 |
| git__ | i'm thinking of buying a thinkpad edge to install ubuntu 10.10 on it | 04:30 |
| DrManhattan | you mean at comparable clockspeed/cores? | 04:30 |
| DrManhattan | Not really | 04:30 |
| DrManhattan | intel has more cache | 04:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | DrManhattan: True that. | 04:31 |
| Lazerath | ok so i think i updated now i cannot boot ubuntu | 04:31 |
| DrManhattan | AMD supposedly handles VM a lot better, but I havent messed with it | 04:31 |
| DrManhattan | and is obvioulsy more cost-effective | 04:31 |
| lithpr | has anyone got different wallpapers per desktop working on 10.10? | 04:31 |
| Lazerath | none of the kernals in re | 04:31 |
| Lazerath | none of the krenals in the boot list | 04:31 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | lithpr: Look at compizconfig-settings-manager ? | 04:32 |
| firewaterburnz | what is configure and how do I use it? | 04:32 |
| lithpr | yeah, i've messed w/ that for a half hour. is flaking out :) | 04:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: is there a configure script in the source directory top level? | 04:32 |
| git__ | does it anyone know if the AMD supports "VT" ? | 04:32 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | git__: This is on the amd wiki page on wikipedia. | 04:32 |
| lithpr | just want to know if anyone has it working. | 04:32 |
| rofflecoptor | kk this is where I'm at still http://pastebin.com/SFZMS9R6 | 04:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | lithpr: I have before. | 04:33 |

| git__ | AMD Athlon II X2 Dual-Core P340 | 04:33 |
| lithpr | on 10.10? | 04:33 |
| rofflecoptor | i don't know what to do anymore :,( | 04:33 |
| avelldiroll | git__: not VT but amd-v, the counterpart tech from amd | 04:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: run this: make clean | 04:33 |
| firewaterburnz | maybe no just a makefile | 04:33 |
| rww | xttaetg: FloodBot is not sentient. | 04:33 |
| git__ | i don't want to buy a thinkpad edge to not have Ubuntu 10.10 work on it | 04:33 |
| firewaterburnz | no just a makefile | 04:33 |
| rofflecoptor | make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop. | 04:33 |

| yxz97 | Jordan_U, I'm running ubuntu jaunty 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-19 | 04:34 |
| avelldiroll | git__: both intel and amd are producinx i386 or amd64/x64 products ... all of them are fully supported by linux, hence with ubuntu 10.10 | 04:34 |
| censoredbiscuit | Can I get mint help here ? | 04:34 |

| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: how do i do that? | 04:35 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: did you download a file with the source in it? | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Unfortunately jaunty doesn't have grub2:( | 04:35 |
| rww | or security updates | 04:35 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, sorry I was solving the puzzle in the page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg | 04:35 |
| firewaterburnz | I assume a configure file would be like .cfg?????? | 04:35 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: Have him install grub to his flash drive then. | 04:35 |
| yxz97 | haha Jordan_U so nowwhat? | 04:35 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: not that I know of | 04:35 |
| ctmjr | firewaterburnz, what are you trying to compile? | 04:36 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | D'aw wait. | 04:36 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: It will be named configure | 04:36 |
| rofflecoptor | I just remember the last time my laptop wasn't screwing up I was upgrading from 8.04 and it went blank | 04:36 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) that the version | 04:36 |
| firewaterburnz | a driver for wirless chipset rt2700 | 04:36 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: if it isn't there, just run make without the sudo first. | 04:36 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, I have to update this grub? | 04:36 |
| git__ | is there a page where all the components in thinkpad Edge supported ? | 04:36 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, can I make that? | 04:36 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, we are passing nice time together my friend! | 04:36 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Sorry, got confused there. So, mountall is haviing a problem. | 04:36 |
| yxz97 | hehe | 04:36 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: I guess | 04:37 |
| firewaterburnz | k i Tried that and the errors still popped up spaceghost :-( | 04:37 |
| Lazerath | what log files log the boot process | 04:37 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: I can type 'login' and type my login name and password | 04:37 |
| rofflecoptor | and it changes to rofflecoptor@laptop | 04:37 |
| sl33k_ | i am not able to download this on 10.04 ---> sudo apt-get install liblua-5.1-0-dev libboost1.40-all-dev | 04:37 |

| rofflecoptor | and i can cd around my folders | 04:37 |
| IdleOne | Lazerath: /var/logs | 04:37 |
| Lazerath | i know the folder | 04:37 |
| IdleOne | ok then | 04:38 |
| Lazerath | which specific logs.. messages, syslog, | 04:38 |
| Lazerath | boot.log | 04:38 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, can I upgrade my grub to grub2 ? | 04:38 |
| IdleOne | Lazerath: they are all in there | 04:38 |
| Lazerath | ok | 04:38 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Not easily, but there are other options. | 04:38 |
| yxz97 | nooooooo | 04:38 |
| firewaterburnz | does my folder need to be in a special location to run 'make'? | 04:38 |
| yxz97 | saturday night... fail.... | 04:38 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: It seems that the source is a bit buggy. Did you already try using gksudo jockey-gtk to get your drivers? | 04:38 |

| yxz97 | haha | 04:39 |
| yxz97 | no way | 04:39 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: What the problem is, is it isn't mounting thing right. So, let's see. | 04:39 |
| yxz97 | its funny | 04:39 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: pretending like it doesn't know where my partitions are | 04:39 |
| firewaterburnz | no I did not Spaceghost, let me try that | 04:39 |
| yxz97 | better than disappointment... | 04:39 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, what other options.. | 04:39 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Perhaps if you can, try to apt-get remove mountall. | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Just to confirm that I understand your situation. You have only one computer, which currently has Ubuntu 9.04 installed on it. You want to install Ubuntu 10.10 on this computer instead, and you can't boot from CD. But you have a flash drive that you're willing to reformat. Correct? | 04:40 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: and I can't even boot into windows at all since this happened | 04:40 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, share your knowledge mate..!! | 04:40 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Then install it. | 04:40 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Sounds like your fs got a bit muddled. | 04:40 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: What FS did you use for your windows install? | 04:40 |
| avelldiroll | sl33k_: try this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev libboost1.40-all-dev | 04:40 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, yeahhhh more lesss..., But also keep in mind the USB drive has 3 partitions... 2 NTFS 1 EXT2 . | 04:41 |

| yxz97 | To reformat the LINUX one Jordan_U | 04:42 |
| yxz97 | since this is the one I being using since them Jordan_U | 04:42 |
| JoshDreamland | rofflecoptor: what kind of device? | 04:42 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Did you run that fsck? | 04:42 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | JoshDreamland: He has a borked fs due to a overheat shutdown. | 04:42 |
| JoshDreamland | ouch | 04:42 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: yes I ran fsck -F -r now | 04:43 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | I know. We're trying to fsck the sustem. | 04:43 |
| rofflecoptor | no it wasn't overheat now that i remember | 04:43 |
| kish | I fixed it by upgrading the kernel to the 2.6.36 version! | 04:43 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: did you make sure to mount the ubuntu partition first? | 04:43 |
| kish | 2.6.35-22-generic | 04:43 |
| rofflecoptor | it just went blank during upgrade | 04:43 |
| kish | how do i upgrade to *.36 | 04:43 |
| yxz97 | actually I format it with sudo mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 .. Jordan_U | 04:43 |
| rofflecoptor | normally when it overheats it just shuts down and it hadn't been on long | 04:43 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Oh. That can be a problem at times. | 04:43 |
| firewaterburnz | Spaceghost when I try that I get a window that says addiional drivers and then below that 'no proprietary drivers in use', | 04:43 |
| yxz97 | after format I create the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file as you said... Jordan_U | 04:43 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: how do i mount ubuntu partition first? | 04:43 |
| AbhiJit | kish, may be check in synpatic? it wll be there? | 04:43 |
| JoshDreamland | anyone know how I can get this thing to recognize my battery again, without rebooting? | 04:44 |
| yxz97 | and out of luck my version of grub is too old nowwwww ... Jordan_U :S | 04:44 |
| kish | abhijit, ok ;) | 04:44 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Hm. Okay. What I suggest is you look into rolling your own kernel if the generic doesn't have the driver. | 04:44 |
| AbhiJit | JoshDreamland, or you connected to ac power supply? | 04:44 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, what can I do now? | 04:44 |
| JoshDreamland | AbhiJit: Yes. | 04:44 |
| AbhiJit | or=are* | 04:44 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: sudo mount -t <type> /dev/<partiton name> /mnt | 04:44 |
| yxz97 | I need a beer | 04:44 |
| JoshDreamland | I think I may just kill acpid | 04:44 |
| yxz97 | hehe | 04:44 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: what goes in <type>? | 04:44 |
| AbhiJit | JoshDreamland, disconnect ac main powersuppyy and then agin run acpi and see if it detects | 04:44 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: The partition type | 04:44 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, what are the other options you said to me? | 04:44 |
| firewaterburnz | lol this is getting a bit advanced for me, can you recommend a guide explaining how to that? | 04:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | I mean filesystem | 04:45 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, please recap on that | 04:45 |
| rofflecoptor | ext3? | 04:45 |
| Lazerath | maybe it is a USB device preventing me | 04:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Did it work before? | 04:45 |
| JoshDreamland | AbhiJit: Tried that before. Doesn't. Will die without ever knowing. | 04:45 |
| yxz97 | I need make this today I have no more time Jordan_U to work on this Jordan_U | 04:45 |
| AbhiJit | JoshDreamland, i see. let me check here | 04:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: I think I have it somewhere, let me check. | 04:45 |
| firewaterburnz | no, this is new hardware that has not worked on anything but a windows machine | 04:45 |
| AbhiJit | JoshDreamland, after disconnecting ac pwer 'acpi' shows batter here | 04:45 |
| ctmjr | firewaterburnz, can you paste the link you downloaded the driver from | 04:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Yes, ext3 | 04:46 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: The other option I was thinking about was using dd to write an image of Super GRUB2 Disk to the flash drive. But that would whipe all of the existing partitions, so isn't an option for you. | 04:46 |
| JoshDreamland | Battery 0: Unknown, 0% | 04:46 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: you see its acting retarded, | 04:46 |
| rofflecoptor | mount: /dev/sda7 already mounted or /mnt busy | 04:46 |
| rofflecoptor | mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda7 is mounted on / | 04:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Run a lspci and pastebin that. | 04:46 |
| firewaterburnz | k | 04:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: From the livecd, you can't fsck a partition if it's in use. | 04:46 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, wise, you are right I cannot afford to use dd command since I backup some data in the other partition of this single USB drive... yeah.. | 04:46 |
| rofflecoptor | :'( | 04:47 |
| rofflecoptor | I don't know what to do | 04:47 |
| flyguy | hi | 04:47 |
| AbhiJit | unmount it | 04:47 |
| yxz97 | S.O.S | 04:47 |
| yxz97 | S.O.S | 04:47 |
| rofflecoptor | so i do the same command except unmount? | 04:47 |
| rofflecoptor | instead of mount? | 04:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Basically, chances are things are pretty borked. You're going to have to boot into the livecd then chroot into the ubuntu partition | 04:48 |
| yxz97 | ok | 04:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: umount /mnt | 04:48 |
| yxz97 | is getting dark here | 04:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Or instead of /mnt just put the path. | 04:48 |
| carandraug | rofflecoptor, it's umount | 04:48 |
| yxz97 | no more help, from FELLAS! | 04:48 |
| yxz97 | this is horrible! | 04:48 |
| AbhiJit | yxz97, try forum | 04:48 |
| rofflecoptor | so i type umount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /mnt | 04:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: The forums are good too. | 04:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: No, just umount <path to mounted director> | 04:48 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, no more ideas? | 04:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | s/director/directory/ | 04:49 |
| rofflecoptor | so umount /dev/sda7? | 04:49 |
| carandraug | rofflecoptor, no umount /mnt (no need to specifiy the type or the device, just the mount point) | 04:49 |
| flyguy | hi | 04:49 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: The mount point. | 04:49 |
| rofflecoptor | i dont know what that is | 04:49 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: grep "sda7" /etc/mtab | 04:49 |
| rofflecoptor | it says '/dev/sda7 / ext3 rw,relatime,errors-remount-ro 0 0 | 04:50 |
| JoshDreamland | fun fact: ejecting the battery and reinserting it fixes it | 04:50 |
| firewaterburnz | ok output of lspci is http://paste.ubuntu.com/534779/ | 04:50 |
| firewaterburnz | source of driver is wget http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/f/2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0.tar.bz2 | 04:51 |
| yxz97 | to be honest I think that this place is the best to solve this problems the quickest | 04:51 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: so from that info i type umount /dev/sda7 | 04:51 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: You will need to do this from a livecd. | 04:51 |
| AbhiJit | no not really | 04:51 |
| rofflecoptor | ok | 04:51 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: You don't umount the device node, you umount the location it's mounted to. | 04:51 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Which won't work here. | 04:51 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: The broadcom one? | 04:52 |
| hata | anybody know howto key ALT+1 in urvxt like gnome-terminal | 04:52 |
| hata | thx | 04:52 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, why u said upgrade to grub2 is not easy | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: You can load Super GRUB2 Disk from grub legacy (the version in Ubuntu 9.04). First download these two files and put them in the boot directory on the flash drive: http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso and http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/memdisk | 04:52 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading%20to%20GRUB%202 | 04:52 |
| firewaterburnz | Did I mention the wireless adapter is a usb adapter? Its not the broadcom. | 04:53 |
| === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin | ||
| flyguy | how do i go to system settings in netbook remix? | 04:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: Why not just do the same with the ubuntu iso? Using memdisk? | 04:53 |
| AbhiJit | !manual | flyguy | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: It's easy if you're using a version of Ubuntu that has grub2 packages. 9.04 is too old to have decent grub2 packages. | 04:53 |
| ubottu | flyguy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 04:53 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, wait! I'm following the instructions there | 04:53 |
| firewaterburnz | I also might mention I am installing in mythbuntu if that makes a difference | 04:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Shouldn't, no. | 04:54 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, wait wait, but they said.. "Upgrading to GRUB 2 from GRUB (legacy) in Ubuntu 9.10 or earlier versions is relatively easy." | 04:54 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Maybe you're just not that relative. :) | 04:54 |
| yxz97 | I have 9.04, which falls in earlier version, right ? Jordan_U | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | SpaceGhostC2C: Because memdisk only fools bootloaders and DOS. Once you enter protected mode the kernel will search for a CD and find none. | 04:54 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, I'm a programmer! | 04:54 |
| ctmjr | firewaterburnz, did you read the README file and followed the steps outlined | 04:54 |
| hasenj | hey, in compiz, why doesn't alt-rightclick resize the window? it shows a pop up menu instead | 04:54 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: So am I! | 04:54 |
| AbhiJit | hasenj, its alt f5 | 04:55 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | hasenj: Because right click tends to do that. Bring up context menus that is. | 04:55 |
| firewaterburnz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/534781/ this is output of lsusb | 04:55 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | firewaterburnz: Oh, usb device. | 04:55 |
| firewaterburnz | yes sir! | 04:55 |
| yxz97 | what is this please help | 04:55 |
| yxz97 | Configuring grub-pc, CHainload from menu.lst ? Yes No | 04:56 |
| AbhiJit | yxz97, i think 9.04 is end of life | 04:56 |
| rww | it is | 04:56 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | AbhiJit: He's trying to upgrade. | 04:56 |
| AbhiJit | !9.04\ | 04:56 |
| hasenj | ah, it's bound to alt-middleclick by default | 04:56 |
| AbhiJit | !9.04 | 04:56 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 04:56 |
| yxz97 | AbhiJit, go away, no bring bad luck to me!!!! | 04:56 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Have you tried just upgrading? | 04:56 |
| AbhiJit | :) | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: A better way to phrase that sentence, and what they mean, is "If you are currently running 9.10 or later, but are still using grub legacy because you upgraded from an earlier version that doesn't install grub2 by default, it's easy to upgrade to grub2". | 04:56 |
| AbhiJit | yayy!!! :D its EOL!!! :P | 04:56 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | AbhiJit: This is a support channel, there are social channels for ubuntu. :) | 04:57 |
| AbhiJit | :/ | 04:57 |

| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: okay im in the live cd now | 04:57 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: Have you tried upgrading the system yet? | 04:57 |

| sl33k_ | if i put the headphone in the slot, the sound is also heard from speaker? | 04:58 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Mmk, so what we're going to do is chroot into your ubuntu partition! | 04:59 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: ok | 04:59 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Let me grab you a list of commands. | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Once you have memdisk and super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso in the boot directory on the flash drive, make a boot/grub/menu.lst containing this: http://pastebin.com/1A1nteVv | 05:01 |
| AbhiJit | sl33k_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798945 | 05:01 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Let's try this first. sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu; export UBUNTU = /mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTU | 05:01 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: Has he tried just using update-manager -d? | 05:02 |
| ctmjr | firewaterburnz, it would seem you did not apply the patch in the tutorial | 05:02 |
| firewaterburnz | k, give me a sec to review tutorial | 05:02 |
| rofflecoptor | spaceghostc2c: http://pastebin.com/Wt8GYs8z | 05:03 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | Jordan_U: Thanks. | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | SpaceGhostC2C: You're welcome. | 05:03 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Let's try this first. sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu; export UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTU | 05:03 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: export UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTU | 05:05 |
| rofflecoptor | i went thru it a little and it has my old home folder | 05:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: Everything should be mounted right. | 05:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | now chroot $UBUNTU | 05:05 |
| icedtea | whats a good packet sniffing software? | 05:05 |
| rofflecoptor | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ export UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTUmount: /dev/sda7 already mounted or /mnt/ubuntu busy | 05:06 |

| rofflecoptor | icedtea i like wireshark :3 | 05:06 |
| AbhiJit | icedtea, snort | 05:06 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | rofflecoptor: did you run `chroot $UBUNTU` | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Now run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/path/to/flash/mountpoint /dev/sdX". It's very important that you replace "/path/to/flash/mountpoint" and "/dev/sdX" with the correct values. If you aren't sure what those values should be pastebin the output of "mount" and I will tell you. | 05:06 |
| AbhiJit | ossec too | 05:06 |
| rofflecoptor | SpaceGhostC2C: no | 05:07 |

| ctmjr | A_New_Server, you can drag thunderbird to the panel and remove evaluation | 05:22 |
| A_New_Server | ctmjr, that wouldn't light up whenever I have mail :[ | 05:22 |
| z987k | regardless of the flash issue, I'm wondering how it came up in the first place | 05:22 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: AbhiJit is wrong. cd /usr/bin; mv evolution evolution.silly; ln -s `which thunderbird` evolution | 05:22 |
| AbhiJit | :o | 05:23 |
| yxz97 | 11:23 pm saturday | 05:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | z987k: Pretty odd. Have you ran any foreign software or executables that weren't in the repos? | 05:23 |
| z987k | no | 05:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 32nd day of The Aftermath in the YOLD 3176 | 05:23 |
| Gnea | z987k: yeah, whenever the update thing pops up every few days, it just updates chrome and bam, it keeps on working fine. lately they've implemented an auto-detector that detects if a page is in english or not - if it's not, it figures out what language it is and asks you if you want to translate it right there on the spot | 05:23 |
| yxz97 | hello? | 05:24 |
| Mr_Sonoma | got some issue with network connection on the desktop. ethernet. System was working before a move (no change in router or settings) and when I plugged the pc in tonight eth0 will not connect to router. Cable is tested good as other computers can use that cable to see the router. anyone have a suggestion on what to check first? yes eth0 is enabled graphically. | 05:24 |
| Gnea | what's funny is that it works faster than firefox and without adding an add-on that makes ff slower | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: Try rebooting into the LiveCD. If everything goes as planned, you should first see a menu with a single entry "Load Super GRUB2 Disk". After you select that you should get a menu like here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SuperGRUB2Disk#Menu_.2F_Features and you should select "Detect loop bootable isos (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos/)". That should bring you to another menu with only one option, to boot the ubuntu 10.10 iso. After ... | 05:24 |
| AbhiJit | ahhhh | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | ... selecting that you will get yet another menu where you can finally select to boot Ubuntu :) | 05:24 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: s/LiveCD/Flash Drive/ | 05:25 |
| z987k | Gnea, I do like the speed | 05:25 |
| sanu01 | where is this module located in? sudo modprobe r8192se_pci | 05:25 |
| Gnea | whenever I load ff or konqueror, the hard drive chugs away - whenever I load chrome, I can hear it for a brief moment, and then the browser is on the screen | 05:25 |
| Gnea | z987k: yeah, they've really done a fine job | 05:25 |
| sanu01 | how do i search for it? | 05:25 |
| z987k | I fear the daily builds will lead to a crash eventually | 05:26 |
| dmead | hi channel, i'm trying to upgrade fglrx and it's screwing up | 05:26 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, what do you mean which thunderbird? Do you mean: mv evolution evolution.silly; ln -s 'thunderbird 3.1.6' evolution? | 05:26 |
| Gnea | z987k: I don't care, if they do I'll just backup my chrome profile and debug it until I find the problem | 05:27 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: type this: which thunderbird | 05:27 |
| ronghail | the `` will put the output of that there | 05:27 |
| Gnea | I've been using the daily builds for a bout 4 months now and never once had any catastrophe | 05:27 |
| Gnea | that's with 10.04 running on a netbook | 05:28 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, heyyy | 05:28 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, I'll be back in some minutes | 05:28 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, thank you very muuuuch | 05:28 |

| flyguy | hi | 05:33 |
| flyguy | in byobu , i choose the option to autostart at login, but it does not do so | 05:33 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: you need to be root to run those commands | 05:33 |
| flyguy | also, is there some way to load programs at login, like guake or so? | 05:33 |
| A_New_Server | jaoziN, generally when there's a problem, it's common practice to SAY what the problem is | 05:33 |
| jaoziN | madwifi-ng-r4073.patch ? | 05:33 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, isn't that what sudo does? | 05:33 |
| ronghail | not the way you did it | 05:34 |
| A_New_Server | I normally just do sudo *rest of command here* and it works | 05:34 |
| ronghail | that isn't one command | 05:34 |
| A_New_Server | hm | 05:34 |
| Jordan_U | jaoziN: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 05:34 |
| ronghail | the semicolons separate commands | 05:34 |
| jaoziN | A_New_Server: cc1: warnings being treated as errors | 05:34 |
| ronghail | so I suggested sudo su, which would give you root, which would let you run the commands | 05:34 |
| jaoziN | A_New_Server: install madwifi | 05:34 |
| ronghail | but you did it a little weird | 05:35 |
| Exploiter | sudo -i - this will gives you root prompt | 05:35 |
| A_New_Server | Alright ronghail, did sudo command by command and I didn't get any errors :] | 05:35 |
| jaoziN | Jordan_U: 10.10 | 05:35 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, but nothing is happening when I click mail now | 05:35 |
| ronghail | hehe | 05:35 |
| A_New_Server | :[ | 05:35 |
| flyguy | any of you fix a problem of byobu not auto starting when you load terminal? | 05:35 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, I just realized thunderbird isn't installed and I've just been running it from where I downloaded it, how would I install it so it shows up in Installed Applications? | 05:36 |
| Jordan_U | jaoziN: You should not need to install any extra drivers for your card to work in Ubuntu 10.10. What happens when you try to connect to a wireless network using network manager? Can you pastebin the output of "iwlist scan"? | 05:36 |
| Wicked | !mplayer | 05:36 |

| yxz97 | Jesus.. | 05:37 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: if you know where it is, just change that symlink to point at it. who cares where it is installed | 05:37 |
| jaoziN | Jordan_U: wlan0 No scan results | 05:37 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, I boot but get no a list, just the grub prompt | 05:37 |
| yxz97 | I do not know what enter there | 05:37 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, when I try to open the file evolution, it says this "This link cannot be used, because its target "which thunderbird" doesn't exist." | 05:37 |
| yxz97 | I test with | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | jaoziN: Are you sure that there are wireless networks in range, and broadcasting their ESSID? | 05:37 |
| jaoziN | Jordan_U: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 05:38 |
| yxz97 | loopback | 05:38 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: you are really not doing anything I ask | 05:38 |
| yxz97 | no says I need specify a device name and file name | 05:38 |
| Exploiter | A_New_Server: corrupted link | 05:38 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: try to ignore the peanut gallery too | 05:38 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, If I'm not, I can assure you it's not on purpose | 05:38 |
| jaoziN | Jordan_U: yes, my iphone access network | 05:38 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: cd /usr/bin; rm evolution; ln -s /path/to/your/tbird_executable evolution | 05:39 |
| yxz97 | if i specify device /dev/sda | 05:39 |
| ronghail | as root | 05:39 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: and btw this is the jerryrigged solution as you asked for | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: What is the contents of /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 05:40 |
| mikethenewbe | hello, could someone help me recover an LVM logical volume? | 05:40 |
| ronghail | A_New_Server: for future reference when someone tells you to type `` do not replace them with some other type of quote mark | 05:40 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, I thought it was single quotes, my font is weird | 05:41 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, title Load Super GRUB2 Disk | 05:41 |
| yxz97 | kernel /boot/memdisk | 05:41 |

| jaoziN | Jordan_U: the plate was detected by the OS | 05:41 |
| geboy | so, i want to have a webserver, where should i type a vhost directive? | 05:41 |
| Jordan_U | jaoziN: What plate? | 05:42 |
| A_New_Server | maco, I know now :D | 05:42 |
| ronghail | mikethenewbe: lvm vgscan --mknodes; lvm vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure | 05:42 |
| jaoziN | Hordan_U: only to find no network | 05:42 |
| A_New_Server | ronghail, will this light up when I have mail? (Also it's working, thanks) | 05:42 |

| Guest38662 | rww thanks :) | 05:44 |

| Mr_Sonoma | hey fellas, got a head scratcher for me. moved to a new house, when i powered up the computer after the move it doesnt see the router. No config changes, cable tests good (works with this laptop) same router what aside from a mysterious hardware failure could cause this issue? | 05:44 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Gulfstream: By waiting for it to become stable and upgrading through 10.10 | 05:44 |
| ronghail | mikethenewbe: did it work? | 05:44 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, could the file permissions of super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso could be an issue ? | 05:44 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: No. | 05:44 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, humm ok, so now? | 05:44 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: You don't even see a menu with "Load Super GRUB2 Disk"? | 05:45 |
| mikethenewbe | ronghail: I'm still trying, sorry - multitasking | 05:45 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | yxz97: You're booted into your Ubuntu, right? | 05:45 |
| Gulfstream | SpaceGhostC2C, I know I can wait for that but I am wanting to try it on my gaming computer now but I do not want to use the dreaded 10.10 since Ndiswrapper doesn't make my wireless card work like it used to... | 05:45 |
| yxz97 | SpaceGhostC2C, I boot in the Flash Drive as Jordan_U said | 05:45 |
| marquicus | hi | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: You did name the file "menu.lst" with an "L" and not "menu.1st", correct? | 05:46 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Gulfstream: Have you tried using native linux drivers for your wireless card? Do they exit? | 05:46 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U ,yes of course | 05:46 |
| jaoziN | Jordan_U: any solution? | 05:47 |
| Gulfstream | it is a belkin F5D8053 v3 which can use a ralink driver (used a ralkink driver on the mac)... | 05:47 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, sorry I cannot take a screenshot from there? | 05:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Gulfstream: Do you know if Ubuntu worked before with your wireless card, not using ndiswrapper? | 05:48 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, I get an screen which says, tab in order to see options... | 05:48 |
| yxz97 | but not a list of bootable kernels, Jordan_U | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | yxz97: I'm not sure if it will work in Ubuntu 9.04, but can you try running boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? | 05:49 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, the file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:49 |

| Keith-BlindUser | And note this happens when I'm trying to execute the installer as it asks with root permissions. | 06:20 |
| The_Tick | I would ask vmware | 06:20 |

| Keith-BlindUser | The installer program is graphical. | 06:24 |
| Keith-BlindUser | It's a .bundel file. You have to run it from within a terminal. It's a shell script. | 06:24 |

| Keith-BlindUser | But the resulting installation is gui. | 06:25 |
| Agu10 | what do you think of ACTA ? | 06:25 |
| izinucs | xttaetg: don't install it that way.. add this repo to your sources and update.. then look in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers.. "recommended" is the latest driver 26x.xx https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 06:25 |
| Yerushalmi | Hey folks, ever since the update yesterday when I turn on my computer I get a menu of Linux versions, asking me which I want to load up. How do I get it to skip that until-and-unless I call it up during boot (which if I'm not mistaken is by hitting escape)? | 06:25 |
| xttaetg | my host os is centos 5,5 | 06:26 |
| rww | Agu10: if you mean the trade agreement, try #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. If you don't, consider disambiguating. | 06:26 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, well if you have more then 1 os or kernel it likes to show | 06:26 |
| xttaetg | ubuntu is a guest os | 06:26 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, but normal with a timer before it goes defult | 06:26 |
| Keith-BlindUser | Something else I've noticed. My machine doesn't resume if I hibernate it. It just reboots as if I never did tel it to hibernate. Any ideas why? | 06:27 |
| pranay_09 | hi, i am using scalpel to recover data but when i use the command : "scalpel /dev/sda8 -o output" i get the error: Opening target "/dev/sda8" ERROR: The configuration file didn't specify any file types to carve.(If you're using the default configuration file, you'll have to uncomment some of the file types.) | 06:27 |
| Yerushalmi | gogeta: It is with a timer, yes, but I'd still like to get it to skip over it entirely if I can. | 06:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: Guest os as in virtualization? | 06:27 |
| xttaetg | yes | 06:27 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, can shorten the timer i suppose | 06:27 |
| izinucs | xttaetg: you can't install the nvidia drivers in a guest system.. you can try with the method I refered to but the VM application typically provides "generic" drivers and doesn't allow drivers installed directly into the guest | 06:27 |

| Amtrask | Hello all, I just installed a Xubuntu 10.04 system on my desktop using the alternate installer. Now when I try to boot it, after I enter my HD password (used full drive encryption), the screen goes black and the monitor turns off without a signal. Any suggestions? | 06:29 |
| Yerushalmi | gogeta: Unless I hit escape, right? You'll have to tell me what file to do that to, though; I'm rather new to Ubuntu, I'm afraid. | 06:29 |
| izinucs | Amtrask: vid. driver problem most likely.. | 06:29 |
| rigved | Yerushalmi: does it give a list of Linux versions like linux-image-generic-2.6.32 and linux-image-generic-2.6.35? | 06:30 |
| Yerushalmi | rigved: Yup | 06:30 |
| pankajm | hi guys, anyone able to stay invisible on google talk like client lyke pidgin? | 06:30 |
| Amtrask | izinucs: I figured but it's pretty hard to fix when I don't have a screen. The desktop has a Radeon HD 5770 | 06:30 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, removing the old image should give the same effect | 06:30 |
| A_New_Server | izinucs, that didn't work :[ | 06:30 |
| rigved | Yerushalmi: ok. so go to software center and remove the old linux images. make sure you keep the latest version (the one which you are using) | 06:30 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, give computer jabator a try it might see and remove it | 06:30 |
| gogeta | janator | 06:31 |
| izinucs | Amtrask: typically ctrl+alt+F2 will get you to a cli prompt.. | 06:31 |
| Yerushalmi | rigved, gogeta: Oh, I don't want to do that - I've always had an option of old linux images when I hit escape. Once my current image got corrupted and I had to load up an old one and use it until an update came out. Always a good idea to play it safe, no? | 06:31 |
| izinucs | A_New_Server: sorry.. was worth a shot | 06:31 |
| pranay_09 | anyone please ? | 06:32 |
| A_New_Server | izinucs, so you don't know how to fix it? | 06:32 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, yep buy y defult it gives the lisat if it has more then 1 image on 10.10 | 06:32 |
| xttaetg | what's the problem? *** Couldn't look up your hostname | 06:32 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: what are you trying to do exactly? | 06:32 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, im not good with edting grub 2 on how to change the setting | 06:33 |
| Yerushalmi | rigved, gogeta: Isn't there anyway to tell it to load up the current image automatically unless I tell it otherwise, without loading up the menu? The way it's been doing up till now? I know I didn't download all five extra images yesterday :p | 06:33 |
| sl33k_ | also the volume controil | 06:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Lazerath: Do you have a support question? | 06:33 |
| iflema | A_New_Server: if you on kubuntu try kubuntu-restricted-extras :/ | 06:33 |
| A_New_Server | Nu uh, just Ubuntu :[ | 06:33 |
| airtonix | Yerushalmi, if you have more than one image, then you will have that menu. if you dont want the menu or don't want to see it unless you press a button then you need to edit grub2. | 06:33 |
| xttaetg | i don't understand | 06:33 |
| gogeta | Yerushalmi, yea but you need to do a grub2 edit and i hate edting that thing | 06:33 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: What are you trying to do? | 06:33 |
| Yerushalmi | airtonix, gogeta: That's weird, then, how come I never had that menu before yesterday? I've always had a menu of several images when I brought it up manually, what happened this time that it decided suddenly to give me the menu? | 06:34 |
| BabyAteMyDingo | heya everyone, i noticed that ubuntu has iptables and ufw installed, what does ubuntu really use? | 06:34 |

| rww | xttaetg: ask in #freenode | 06:35 |
| xttaetg | ok | 06:35 |
| airtonix | Yerushalmi, if your only concern is that it's ugly to look at every boot, then i suggest you look into using burg | 06:35 |
| Yerushalmi | airtonix: Yes, I had a software update yesterday. I just loaded everything automatically as usual, and it must have changed the grub conf | 06:35 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: Can you reach the internet from your Ubuntu VM? | 06:35 |
| gogeta | airtonix, burg? | 06:35 |
| Yerushalmi | airtonix: It's time more than ugliness. I'm just surprised at this sudden new thing. | 06:36 |
| airtonix | Yerushalmi, gogeta http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/burg/ | 06:36 |
| xttaetg | no | 06:36 |
| xttaetg | yes | 06:36 |
| airtonix | Yerushalmi, gogeta BURG even has a gui editor i think | 06:36 |
| gogeta | airtonix, lol had to be them | 06:36 |
| xttaetg | i'm sorry | 06:36 |

| BabyAteMyDingo | heya everyone, i noticed that ubuntu has iptables and ufw installed, what does ubuntu really use? | 06:37 |
| gogeta | airtonix, yea the grub2 update making it arder then grub 1 was a step back | 06:37 |
| xttaetg | i'm sorry ,my english is very poor | 06:37 |
| airtonix | gogeta, not really. | 06:38 |
| airtonix | gogeta, grub2 is miles ahead of grub1. so many more features | 06:38 |
| xttaetg | yes i can | 06:38 |
| Keith-BlindUser | So I'm curiuos what to do about the hibernation not working? My system doesn't use any non open-source drivers. | 06:38 |
| gogeta | airtonix, rite and made simple edits harder | 06:39 |
| airtonix | Keith-BlindUser, confirm your bios is configured properly | 06:39 |
| Keith-BlindUser | I'm wondering does Grub need to know what to resume from..i.e. a swap partition? | 06:39 |
| airtonix | gogeta, i dont see how its any harder. | 06:39 |
| gogeta | airtonix, gotta edit d40 gotta regen it | 06:40 |
| gogeta | airtonix, rather then just edting 1 file | 06:40 |
| airtonix | gogeta, um. no? | 06:40 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | xttaetg: Then yes, go ask in #freenode | 06:40 |

| amani | ok, thanx for all | 07:27 |
| ronghail | no idea. what if you source .profile | 07:28 |
| flyguy | that is the line for byobu | 07:28 |
| flyguy | "case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher && exit 0; esac;" | 07:28 |
| ronghail | yeah, so source it | 07:28 |
| ronghail | does it work ever? or just not at login | 07:29 |
| Kog|Work | !help | 07:29 |
| 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. :-) | 07:29 |
| ronghail | I have no idea what byobu is btw | 07:29 |
| Kog|Work | hm, that was handy... | 07:29 |
| amani | I have tried cp but it doesnt let me do it? | 07:29 |
| amani | evanation, I have tried cp but it doesnt let me do it? | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | amani: whats the exact cp line you are using. | 07:30 |
| ronghail | I need to get that loquacious bot on ignore | 07:30 |
| Kog|Work | ronghail: I was sort of hoping it might point me to a channel of people who know how to use dpkg | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ronghail: its screen with some extra settings. | 07:30 |
| amani | evanation, cp /home/amani/xorg.conf /etc/x11/ | 07:30 |
| Kog|Work | ronghail: but apparently help is "learn 2 ask" | 07:30 |
| evanation | amani, use sudo with cp | 07:30 |
| karthick87 | Need a countdown timer applet for Gnome.Can anyone say me the name of the package for Gnome? | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | amani: its /etc/X11/ i belive use Tab key to auto-complete names. Case is Imporntant also.. and sudo would be needed | 07:31 |
| amani | I'll try, just a moment, | 07:31 |
| shmup | so if i'm trying to install photoshop 7 with wine, it's saying not marked as executable.. | 07:31 |
| shmup | what do i need to do besides changing the permissions? | 07:31 |
| shmup | i chmod'd it | 07:31 |
| DrManhattan | shmup = gimp should be on par ith ps7 | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: you could always use a terminal -> 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' and not need to chmode it. | 07:32 |
| shmup | yeah, i know. just a few things i'm very familiar with. | 07:32 |
| shmup | that i love to do. | 07:32 |
| flyguy | rong, it does not work | 07:32 |
| shmup | oh wonderful dr. | 07:32 |
| flyguy | with sh .profile | 07:32 |
| shmup | Dr_Willis, | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | flyguy: How are you logging in? | 07:32 |
| flyguy | jordan, clicking a terminal quick launch icon | 07:32 |
| greezmunkey | lo | 07:32 |
| ronghail | I said source not sh, but ok. does the command by itself work? | 07:33 |
| greezmunkey | ugh! | 07:33 |
| flyguy | it says "case "$-" in *i*) | 07:33 |
| ronghail | what does echo $- say? does it have an i? | 07:33 |
| amani | JOB DONE, thank you ALL, | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | flyguy: .profile is only executed with login shells. If you run "bash -l" or log in at a tty, or ssh in, it should start byobu. | 07:33 |
| ronghail | welcome | 07:33 |
| shmup | Dr_Willis, if it is saying wine: /home/jared/.wine is not owned by you | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | 'source' runs a script and any env settings, or other thinbs are 'added' to the current shell envuroment. sh - spawns its own. | 07:33 |
| shmup | Is this something I need to adjust on my account? | 07:33 |
| shmup | So it has the proper permissions. | 07:33 |
| flyguy | yes, it says himBH | 07:33 |
| shmup | I did a sudo wine, btw. | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: check ls -al /home/jared and see who owns .wine Could be your permissions/ownership are some how wrong. | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: THATS why its not owned y you then. :) | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: its owned by root. there was noneed to sudo wine | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | shmup: Sudo is not a catch all solution for permissions problems. You should only use it when you are sure it's needed. | 07:34 |
| shmup | hm, all right. | 07:34 |
| shmup | so are there times i need to log in as root? | 07:35 |
| shmup | or... | 07:35 |
| flyguy | what does the ) mean for case "$-" in *i*) ? | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: rarely if ever. | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: and its not the same as 'logging in as root' | 07:35 |
| ronghail | man bash | 07:35 |
| karthick87 | Need a countdown timer applet for Gnome.Can anyone say me the name of the package for Gnome? | 07:35 |
| Jordan_U | flyguy: Are you familiar with case statemnts in any other programming language? | 07:35 |
| shmup | all right, so i did a ls -a and.. | 07:35 |
| flyguy | bash -l loads byobu | 07:35 |
| shmup | am i supposed to tell this by the color? | 07:35 |
| flyguy | but terminal icon quick lanunch does not do it | 07:36 |
| shmup | nvm ignore that question rofl | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: if you have never installed anything else in wine. You could just delete the .wine directory and start over. | 07:36 |
| shmup | oh i have, though. | 07:36 |
| Tecan | eeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh | 07:36 |
| shmup | i've installed 2 things. | 07:36 |

| evanation | Who wants to be my friend to teach me English? | 07:36 |
| greezmunkey | lo | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: you need to 'sudo chown -r yourusername:yourusername .wine' (i think) | 07:37 |
| flyguy | quick launch terminal does not get this .profile loaded, but bash -l it loads.... how can I make a quick lanch with the right terminal icon? | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | flyguy: i think 'bash -l' is a login shell. thats the differance. | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | flyguy: many terminal apps take a '--login-shell' or '-l' option i recall to do the same thing. | 07:38 |

| Dr_Willis | maiku_: gparted from a live cd. may be a better idea also. | 07:43 |
| shmup | so i do own it, but i just need to chmod it, right? | 07:44 |
| shmup | or at least that's what i'd think.. ~.~ | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: wine /path/to/setup.exe and you dont need to chmod it. | 07:44 |
| shmup | i swear it wont work :( | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: the chmod thing is a 'security feature' of nautilus/wine launcher. | 07:44 |
| shmup | i didnt even change anything to get the result above :D thats how it was when i first tried wine. | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: i do it all the time via the command line.. never had issues | 07:44 |
| shmup | all right. trying again! | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: whats stopping uyou from chmoding it then? is it on a NTFS partition? or a cd/dvd? | 07:45 |
| shmup | NTFS | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | shmup: then you CANT jus 'chmod' it. :) You would need to mount the ntfs with the proper options/settings to have everything on the filesystem 'excutable' | 07:45 |
| varaha | does any one know how to remove hard block for wireless cards ? | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | varaha: and a 'hard block' is what exactly? | 07:46 |

| Dr_Willis | tas: 'sudo mount -a ' should make them all mount. IF the directories exist. | 08:04 |
| astropirate | Nach0z, i believe it is Monospace | 08:04 |
| krunal | I have a question... | 08:04 |
| astropirate | Nach0z, thats the font name | 08:04 |
| Wraithan | sfilter | 08:04 |
| iceroot | Nach0z: gnome-terminal? right click, properties and see the font-name | 08:04 |
| krunal | after spending HOURS configuring ubuntu to get everything working just right... is there a way you can "save" your hardware profiles??? | 08:04 |
| iceroot | krunal: hardware-profiles? | 08:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | krunal: Hadware progiles? | 08:05 |
| tas | Dr_Willis, sudo mount -a didn't give any output in terminal : | 08:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Profiles, even. | 08:05 |
| krunal | iceroot, incase you have to reinstall ubuntu | 08:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | tas: What are you looking for. | 08:05 |
| iceroot | krunal: on every start the hardware will be detected again, there is no profile | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: that not supriseing.. check with the 'mount' command and the contents of the /media/ directories now | 08:05 |
| senbonsakura | krunal: you can make a copy of your .configure file on /usr/src/linux | 08:05 |
| krunal | i'm sorry for the wrong terminology | 08:05 |
| Nach0z | astropirate i've been told that "monospace" is only the font family, and that linux picks out the default font from that family to use when "monospace" is defined. that's why I was asking lol | 08:05 |
| senbonsakura | krunal: a copy of kernel image | 08:06 |
| tas | Dr_Willis, directories are there in media folder | 08:06 |
| krunal | all the drivers i have got to work - can i somehow backup ? | 08:06 |
| krunal | senbonsakura, is that a good idea? | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: and.. whats IN them>? | 08:06 |
| astropirate | Nach0z, lol sounds like you know more about it then i do :p | 08:06 |
| senbonsakura | krunal: yeah | 08:06 |
| astropirate | my wine has no sound! i have been playing around with the audio drivers and none of them seem to work.. I tried uninstalling it and installing it again and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? | 08:06 |
| raskol | Nach0z, I believe it's usually DejaVu Sans Mono but I'm not sure | 08:06 |
| krunal | senbonsakura, how do u do that? | 08:06 |
| sfears | krunal, if you can get things mounted properly you can "dd if=/dev/sda? of=/dev/sdb?/system_image.iso | 08:06 |
| tas | Dr_Willis, oh, the stuff that my respective directories have :D!! | 08:06 |
| senbonsakura | krunal: all hardware configuration is on the kernel and modules | 08:06 |
| Nach0z | thanks raskol | 08:06 |
| prologic | Hi. Does anyone recognize and remember what the fix is for the error/problem with slapd here -> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294143/ ? | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | astropirate: 'uninstalling and reinstalling' is windows thinking. rarely fixes things in linux. | 08:07 |
| iceroot | krunal: for the drivers you can rebuild the initrd and put the drivers in it | 08:07 |
| astropirate | Dr_Willis, i removed all of the configuration files as well, lol and your prolly right that is a terrible windows mentality | 08:07 |
| tas | Dr_Willis but theres an extra WindowsXP mountpoint that is empty, how to delete it? | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: via the 'rm' command | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !cli | tas | 08:08 |
| ubottu | tas: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 08:08 |

| krunal | iceroot, i'm sorry I am still a novice user - what do u mean by rebuild the initrd | 08:08 |
| HJess | Hi .. | 08:08 |
| raskol | tas, it will be mounted to the directory when you restart or manually mount it after changing fstab | 08:08 |
| HJess | Do anyone know if its possible to make somesort of undelete on a ZFS filesystem? (maybe a howto on this) | 08:08 |
| greezmunkey | nice... | 08:09 |
| barberan | hi | 08:09 |
| raskol | and if you _do_ need to delete a directory I believe you still need the rmdir | 08:09 |
| raskol | to rmdir* | 08:09 |
| barberan | how do I make my 10.10 look like MacOs ? | 08:09 |
| tas | Dr_Willis, raskol ubottu Thankyou everyone :D | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | i always rm -rf :) | 08:09 |
| iceroot | krunal: the initrd contains the needed kernel-moduls bevor udev comes up, so putting the moduls (e.g. nvidia in it) then you have a initrd for your system, the problem is, that the initrd can getting very big and only containg modules for your current hardware | 08:09 |
| raskol | very very dangerous dr willis | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | not if i use the proper path. | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | and i always cd to the proper location first. | 08:09 |
| senbonsakura | raskol: it suppose that you know what you are doing | 08:09 |
| iceroot | barberan: sadly, its looking like macos already | 08:09 |
| krunal | iceroot, ah very nice - so how would I do this? | 08:10 |
| raskol | and bomb defusal isn't hard if you cut the right wire | 08:10 |
| tas | barberan, http://kyleabaker.com/2010/11/11/macbuntu-the-mac-os-x-transformation-pack-for-ubuntu/ | 08:10 |
| HJess | dr_w: first time I've lost data in the 12 years I've used linux ;-) | 08:10 |
| iceroot | krunal: sudo update-initramfs -k all -u | 08:10 |
| tas | yay, I helped xD | 08:10 |
| greezmunkey | defusal ?? | 08:10 |
| senbonsakura | raskol: for example not do rm -rf / | 08:10 |
| senbonsakura | raskol: I did it once to see what it happens | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I never use the 'full' path when using rm -rf. so i never have a / at the start.. | 08:10 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: that command is doing nothing | 08:10 |
| brokendatapoint | senbonsakura: hahaha | 08:10 |
| Pe3k | hello, I started live 10.10 cd, and the only thing displayed after booting is black and white rectangles - like graphics not initialized properly... I use it on laptop with screen 1680x1050 ...is there way how to fix this?thanks | 08:10 |
| senbonsakura | brokendatapoint: it's true I like to experiment | 08:10 |
| tas | XD | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Pe3k: and your video chipset is what? You m ay want to try the 'nomodeset' option in the startup/grub menus. | 08:11 |
| sfears | Pe3k, boot option "nomodeset"? | 08:11 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: do it with the root permission | 08:11 |
| raskol | the danger is in thinking you're in /home/me/stuff/backup when really you're in /home/me/stuff/projecti'mworkingon | 08:11 |
| brokendatapoint | senbonsakura: me too, accidentally did that years ago, really does work... | 08:11 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: try it, bash is saying that you cant remove / | 08:11 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: I ran it for myself nobody told me | 08:11 |
| raskol | very clever iceroot | 08:11 |
| dibblego | how do I change the VNC server password from the command line? | 08:11 |
| raskol | what VNC server dibblego | 08:12 |
| Yerushalmi | Hey folks - ever since the update I installed yesterday, I get a menu of linux images while booting up; is there any way to get ubuntu to skip over the menu the way it used to? | 08:12 |
| krunal | iceroot, okay so now terminal is at "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic-pae | 08:12 |
| krunal | " | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall tightvnc and vnc4server having a 'vncpasswd' command. but i dont have either installed right now. | 08:12 |
| dibblego | raskol, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop | 08:12 |
| krunal | iceroot, i'm assuming i have to wait till it is done | 08:12 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: # rm -rf / | 08:12 |
| raskol | yerushalmi: yes by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst -- look up for instructions but what you want is "default" and "timeout" | 08:12 |
| Pe3k | Dr_Willis,sfears: nvidia geforce; how to set this option ....there are not instructions on screen while booting | 08:12 |
| sfears | Yerushalmi, remove the "splash" tag from your grub config file | 08:13 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: the system shutdown and never restarted | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Pe3k: hit a key when ya see a little man at the botom and its under 'f6' i recall | 08:13 |
| jmadero | anyone around who can help me do a debug of pulse? | 08:13 |
| astropirate | How can I enable sound for wine? even the "test sound" button in winecfg doesn't work and i tried all of the drivers, none of themworked | 08:14 |
| Yerushalmi | raskol: No such file under boot/grub/ | 08:14 |
| sfears | try the "c" button at your grub splash screen to get a command prompt of sorts then enter "nomodeset" and hit enter, or if your using the live cd f6 and select "nomodeset" | 08:14 |
| Yerushalmi | sfears: Where and how do I do that? | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | Yerushalmi | 08:14 |
| ubottu | Yerushalmi: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:14 |
| greezmunkey | heh, cool I just closed the lid on the laptop I am ssh/screened into - and it still runs. I didn't expect that! | 08:14 |
| senbonsakura | Dr_Willis: I downloading a Jdk from a russian server | 08:14 |
| iceroot | what was the common way to put the shells output in english? LC_ALL=en_US is not working | 08:15 |
| Pe3k | Dr_Willis,sfears: thanks, I'll try... | 08:15 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: loadkeys us | 08:15 |
| raskol | Yerushalmi, they changed it to grub.cfg apparently | 08:15 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: the output not the layout | 08:15 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: ahhh | 08:15 |
| sfears | Yerushalmi, i do it the wrong way and edit the "do not edit file" /boot/grub/grub.cfg, on the line of the kernel your select "splash" appears (sometimes twice) delete it, save, and reboot. | 08:16 |
| Yerushalmi | raskol: Well, opening up a file whose first line is "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" doesn't give me a lot of confidence. | 08:16 |
| huytran | hi | 08:17 |
| Yerushalmi | sfears: Well, if it says that it gets its information automatically from another file, can't I just edit that other file instead? | 08:17 |
| sfears | i never took the time to figure out how the 20_grub files work | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: read up on the grub2 wiki/factiod/docs and do it the proper way | 08:18 |
| sfears | i never took the time to figure out how the 20_grub files work Yerushalmi, if you edit that file all edits will be erased on your next grub update, that's why it says not to edit | 08:18 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: hm cant change my shell-output to english but "sudo rm -rf / is telling me rm: Es ist gefährlich, rekursiv auf „/“ zu arbeiten. rm: Benutzen Sie --no-preserve-root, um diese Sicherheitsmaßnahme zu umgehen.. which means i have to use --no-prevers-root also because the bash is protecting me running rm -rf / | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: edit /etc/default/grub and rerun 'sudo update-grub' its that simple. | 08:18 |
| raskol | Yerushalmi, edit /etc/default/grub | 08:18 |
| raskol | okay good | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: theres no real good reason to edit grub.cfg | 08:19 |
| senbonsakura | sfears: If you try to install gentoo someday you will learn to sing the grub song | 08:19 |
| chelz | unless you want semipermanent edits | 08:19 |
| jjovereats | iceroot: It's a security feature! | 08:19 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: try it with # rm -rf / | 08:19 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis, raskol : I have the file open, what exactly do I edit? I usually never manage to understand the documentation files :( | 08:20 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: it's just to see if the bash will protect you | 08:20 |
| raskol | GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 | 08:20 |
| iceroot | jjovereats: i know and thats what my point was | 08:20 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: I did it without sudo, with the root permission | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: i dont even know what you are trying to change or why... I never want grub menu to be 'hidden' its just annoying for me. | 08:20 |
| chelz | rm -rf /* | 08:20 |
| iceroot | jjovereats: senbonsakura said that rm -rf / will wipe / | 08:20 |
| bash | how to make auto mount in fstab. ???? i have ubuntu server... | 08:20 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: me to | 08:20 |
| iceroot | chelz: yes that is working | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | bash: if the entry is proper.. it will auto mount at boot time. | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | bash | 08:21 |
| ubottu | bash: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 08:21 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: you told me sudo rm -rf / | 08:21 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: is telling me | 08:21 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis: I just find the menu annoying, is all. It increases loading time. | 08:21 |
| sfears | senbonsakura, that will delete all your files | 08:21 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: I can read it yet | 08:21 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: also working with real root shell instead of sudo | 08:21 |
| Yerushalmi | If I want to load up something different, I'll call it up myself by hitting escape, no? | 08:21 |
| jjovereats | sfears: You could still use testdisk | 08:21 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: its a bash and zsh feature | 08:21 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: ok, I like your shell | 08:21 |
| senbonsakura | sfears: really??? | 08:22 |
| jjovereats | He/she could | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: i rarely worry about 5 more sec boot time.. when i get 5+week uptimes.. :) | 08:22 |
| Guisepe | helo | 08:23 |
| bash | auto mount is not handled in /etc/fstab i says | 08:23 |
| bash | gnome-volume-manager | 08:23 |
| senbonsakura | iceroot: and on Ctrl + F1 | 08:23 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis: Heh. Well, I make extensive use of hibernate and reboot, so it can get rather irritating as you might imagine. | 08:23 |
| Guisepe | ubuntu.es | 08:23 |
| Pe3k | Dr_Willis,sfears: thanks, it works :) | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bash: your use of the term auto-mount is a little vague.. you mean mount at BOOT TIME? or mount on first access? | 08:23 |
| bash | mount at first access | 08:24 |
| iceroot | senbonsakura: its also bash on ctrl + f1 | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: i cant even get those features to work right under windows.. just to many crashing programs. | 08:24 |
| sfears | senbonsakura, yes sudo rm -rf / = (superuser do) (remove) (-recursive files(folders)) (root directory) | 08:24 |
| bash | if i stick in a usb flash. i want auto mount | 08:24 |
| sfears | Pe3k, now you can try to install the correct restricted nvidia drivers | 08:24 |
| bash | ive tried blkid, but thats for permanent mounts | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | bash: then you dont want an entry for the device in fstab. that will disable the 'mount on access feature' | 08:24 |
| === palermo is now known as senbonsakura | ||
| sfears | then you can boot without the nomodeset options and enable all the 3d effefts of your nvidia hardware | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | bash: its set that way by default. what have you done to change it? | 08:25 |
| bash | i have ubuntu server, without gnome | 08:25 |
| jjovereats | loooooool | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | bash: then you need to look at the package manager and see about some of the auto-fs-mounting services that exist | 08:26 |

| tas | Dr_Willis, on firefox website, it gave an option fore linux version, it didn't exactly have ubuntu on it, but it just said linux i668 or something like that. | 08:31 |
| A_New_Server | tas, that's for a specific processor, what is your processor? | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: why do you not want to use the one in the package manager? | 08:32 |
| tas | Dr_Willis, its 3.0.5 I think, and I want the new one, PLUS, I want to KNOW how to install the packages... like we do in windows. | 08:32 |
| senbonsakura | Dr_Willis: Im installing the Jdk | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: how to install packages.. you should use the package manaer and reposuitories - whenever you can. | 08:33 |
| sfears | tas.. you need to find .deb packages, that's more like windows | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: using programs/downloads from web sites is not commonplace in linux. | 08:33 |
| tas | Dr_Willis ok.. | 08:33 |
| A_New_Server | tas, the package manager is to help prevent problems. It's much cleaner and simpler. | 08:33 |
| tas | A_New_Server, ok ^_^ | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Theer are PPA repositories of newer firefox versions out there. | 08:34 |
| tas | ok, tell me how to get beta repos? please? ^^ | 08:34 |
| A_New_Server | tas, I don't like the software center that much because it doesn't always have updated software, BUT I believe if you download Firefox from it, you can still search for updates | 08:34 |

| Daghdha | Is Ubuntu set up by default to save as much power as possible? | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | Silicone: So when you select the windows entry you go back to the grub menu? | 08:47 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, yep | 08:47 |

| benji123 | Hi, is there something like a subversion-dev package in the ubuntu distrib ? | 08:48 |
| tas | why does firefox 4 beta says its minefield? XD | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !subversion | 08:49 |
| ubottu | subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion | 08:49 |

| iceroot | benji123: libsvn-dev | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | benji123: perhaps that url the bot gave - has some details. I dont use svn. | 08:50 |
| benji123 | iceroot, thanks :) | 08:50 |
| ubuXubu | so now i have no wireless signal indicator | 08:50 |
| iceroot | benji123: apt-cache search :) | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | tas: that is yet ANOTHER reason you dont 'download stuff from web sites' and use the versions in the package manager... | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | tas: If it were a fake they would try to make it look exactly like the real thing, not change something as noticeable as the name for no reason :) | 08:51 |
| benji123 | iceroot, you re right, I searched subversion and not svn | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuXubu: re-add the wireless indicator applet. or reset the panels (overkill) | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !reset-panel | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | 08:51 |

| Dr_Willis | senbonsakura: no idea. use the search feature of the apckage manager. or install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and it may pull it in. | 09:29 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, i undestood to boot to windows, so after that command i rebooted and tried to boot to windows, not typet boot there... so i will try once again | 09:29 |
| Artemis3 | senbonsakura, openjdk-6-jre | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Artemis3: i think he wants the sun java. | 09:30 |
| DrManhattan | wow, undernet is really going to hell in a handbasket | 09:30 |
| Artemis3 | Dr_Willis, then he needs to enable partner repository | 09:30 |
| DrManhattan | the servers hardly work anymore | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Artemis3: hes using like 8.04 i think. | 09:30 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | DrManhattan | 09:30 |
| ubottu | DrManhattan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 09:30 |
| Artemis3 | package name is sun-java-6-jre | 09:31 |
| raskol | The ubuntu software center gives package descriptions in German, how can I change this to English? | 09:31 |
| Artemis3 | sun-java6-plugin would be better | 09:31 |
| Milossh | hello. I have ubuntu maverick, and a case with sound output. Now, when I plug headphones into case, it's working, but it does not stop the output on the back of motherboard. is there any way to do it | 09:31 |
| Milossh | ? | 09:31 |
| Artemis3 | since that pulls the right dependency | 09:31 |
| DrManhattan | im sorry, I thought I was autologged into ot | 09:32 |
| senbonsakura | Dr_Willis: I did apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras just 13MB | 09:32 |
| Artemis3 | Milossh, thats common, you can try muting using the mixer | 09:32 |
| Milossh | Artemis3: no automation there? | 09:32 |
| Daghdha | Do i realy need to recompile the kernel for this? CONFIG_PM_ADVANVCED_DEBUG | 09:33 |
| Artemis3 | Milossh, usually no, might depend on your sound card config | 09:33 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, so, after typed "boot".. shows me no loaded kernel | 09:33 |
| Milossh | I mean, it definitely can be detected, as windows does it. I'm just not sure if ubuntu can too | 09:33 |
| Milossh | it's integrated onto motherboard. not sure which one is it | 09:33 |
| Jordan_U | Silicone: After running "root='(hd1,msdos1)'; chainloader +1"? | 09:33 |
| Jordan_U | Silicone: You need to run "root='(hd1,msdos1)'" first, then run "boot". | 09:34 |
| Jordan_U | *root='(hd1,msdos1)'; chainloader+1 | 09:34 |
| Artemis3 | i would personally hate that sort of auto muting, must be a feature of your onboard sound, which might, or might not be supported | 09:34 |
| cemc | I appended commit=60 to my root partition, but something still appends commit=0 after | 09:34 |
| cemc | any ideas what? ubuntu 10.10 desktop | 09:34 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, yep, i did so..... "root='(hd1,msdos1)'; chainloader +1" - enter- then "boot" | 09:34 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, maybe i sould do it without ""??? | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | Silicone: Was there any error message from the first command(s)? | 09:35 |
| Milossh | Artemis3: Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website. | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | Silicone: Yes, you need to type just what's inside the quotation marks. | 09:35 |
| Milossh | that's what Gigabyte say to me :) | 09:35 |
| WilliamHerry | how to disable cups start on boot? sysv-rc-conf shows that it is off, but it start every time when i boot | 09:36 |
| Artemis3 | Milossh, not a good idea, try the mixer, it usually comes with all sort os knobs and thingies | 09:36 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, sorry :( will try again, a'm new to linux... brb | 09:36 |
| Dr_Willis | WilliamHerry: rename the script in /etc/init/ that starts it perhaps. | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | Silicone: np :) | 09:36 |
| hush | Can someone help me with a libimobiledevice problem? | 09:37 |
| Milossh | Artemis3: default mixer on maverick isn't giving me any options, at least not the ones similiar to what I need | 09:37 |
| Artemis3 | hey cemc are you using noatime? just saying ^^ | 09:37 |
| === aybabtu is now known as Guest59812 | ||
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis: Thanks for the help. I couldn't get the menu to disappear entirely because having a second operating system on another drive apparently disables the hidden-menu countdown unless you make extensive other changes I didn't understand, but I did shorten the menu timer to 3 seconds, which is good enough for me. | 09:37 |
| WilliamHerry | my default runlevel is 2, and there are only K80cups exist, why it still start, | 09:37 |
| hush | I try to sync my music from Rhythmbox but they all come up "blank" | 09:37 |
| cemc | Artemis3: yes | 09:38 |
| WilliamHerry | only k80cups link in /etc/rc2.d | 09:38 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis: I could've eliminated it entirely, but then I wouldn't have the ability to pick another kernel i.c.e. right? :) | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | !upsstart | WilliamHerry | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | !upstart | WilliamHerry | 09:38 |
| ubottu | WilliamHerry: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 09:38 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, ok, now it shows BootMGR is missing | 09:39 |
| bold | Do anyone know IDM equivalent download manager for ubuntu ? | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: you hide it.. its not eliminated.. | 09:39 |
| Artemis3 | i would normally try alsamixer, which is not exactly user friendly, there was another gui one but forgot the name... | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Yerushalmi: but oh noes..now your boot time is 3 sec longer. >:) | 09:40 |
| Silicone | Jordan_U, after i run commands you gave me... | 09:40 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis: According to the documentation to which you linked me, there are two timers available, one without the menu, one with. The one without the menu allows you to press keys to bring up the menu. | 09:40 |
| Zeu5 | hi there, i just installed LAMP and removed XAMPP. however when i type mysql it is still calling the mysql in the xampp (because it was complaining abt non existent dir /opt/lampp/bin/mysql) | 09:40 |

| Zeu5 | what shd i do to ensure mysql command is calling the one from LAMP and not from xampp | 09:41 |

| Zeu5 | llutz: i have a /usr/bun/mysql | 09:42 |
| hartzie | Artemis3: thx | 09:42 |
| Yerushalmi | Dr_Willis: But the menuless countdown gets disabled because I have an OS on another drive - apparently the real reason the menu suddenly started appearing, and not because of the updated kernel I got yesterday itself, but rather the fact that grub-update got run as part of the installation of the new kernel | 09:42 |

| Zeu5 | llutz: what file is that? i dun ve it i think | 09:43 |
| llutz | Zeu5: if "which mysql" gives you /usr/bin/mysql then you already call the right one | 09:43 |
| Zeu5 | but when i just type mysql, it complains abt the missing directory for /opt/lampp/bin/mysql | 09:43 |

| gdb_ | simply change the time to 24 hour time | 09:52 |
| gdb_ | lol | 09:52 |

| gdb_ | didn't work | 09:52 |
| Artemis3 | gdb_, its right click, preferences | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | gdb_: i rught click on the clock -> clock preferances.. 12 hr format, or 24 hr format.. works here. | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | logical place for the settings FINALLY. :) | 09:53 |
| gdb_ | on mavrick netbook version | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | You could of mentioned that first... | 09:53 |

| Dr_Willis | I dont use the netbook. so no idea how locked down they got it. | 09:54 |
| rdw200169 | Dr_Willis: gdb_ depends on what clock is used... the new ubuntu indicator applet doesn't provide 24 hour clock; but, if you add the 'Clock' applet after right clicking on the panel, *THAT* clock offers 24 hr | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. Im using the normal default clock here on 10.10 desktop and it has the 12/24 hr feature. its not in the indicator applet. but my panels are 'default' as far as i know. | 09:55 |
| gdb_ | wow that sux I will just install desktop then... sounds more like an apple version on ubuntu | 09:55 |

| rdw200169 | gdb_: right click the *new* one and pick 24 hour time | 09:56 |

| paco_ | i'm new of ubuntu, i came from debian | 10:14 |
| rodrigo | Artemis what the better diference of windows and ubuntu? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | paco_: with upstart. most services are handled by the /etc/init/ files. | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | paco_: a few still follow the old sysv method. | 10:14 |
| cyphase | can someone please explain "Annotate Stroke Color" in compiz? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cyphase: the color of the paint you use when you use the annotate feature. (the ink) | 10:15 |
| bazhang | cyphase, if you dont get an answer here there is also #compiz | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | i am guessing from the description of what you said. | 10:15 |
| paco_ | Dr_Willis, so is there a valid tool to enable/disable services? | 10:15 |
| cyphase | Dr_Willis, that's annotate fill color | 10:15 |
| Artemis3 | rodrigo no virus :) | 10:15 |
| cyphase | Dr_Willis, i've never been able to make a green annotation, even those annotate stroke color is set to green | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | paco_: for upstart. ive not noticed any. never really needed any. reanam,e the file on /etc/init/ to disable one. | 10:15 |
| paco_ | Dr_Willis, ok i'm trying it | 10:16 |

| AbhiJit | anyone familiar withh eggdrop configuratioin/ | 10:47 |
| TheHypnotist | AbhiJit, .. about 10 years ago I did. whats up | 10:47 |
| Zabadda | I have just reinstalled Windows and Ubuntu on my drive as a dual boot (windows first) but when I restart Grub does not pick up the windows partition, but I can mount it when booted in Ubuntu so its there somewhere, any ideas how to get grub to pick it up? | 10:48 |
| AbhiJit | TheHypnotist, it joined the iec. but its not responding . what to do? | 10:48 |
| Arc | is anyone aware of problems using 10.10 with nvidia cards? I have a fresh install on a amd64 system with an nvidia card, gets through grub then the display cuts out and it just sits there | 10:48 |
| AbhiJit | also i m unable to join undernet network how to join it? | 10:49 |
| Arc | there's no bootsplash, no x11, control-alt-f1 doesn't pull up a vty.. | 10:49 |
| TheHypnotist | AbhiJit, , probably a silly question, do you still have to /msg the eggdrop to get it to recognise you? | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: use the nomodeset option. | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: i have to use that on all my nvidia systems. untill i get the nvidia drivers installed. | 10:50 |
| AbhiJit | TheHypnotist, yes | 10:50 |
| AbhiJit | TheHypnotist, i can /msg him but then he is not responding at all | 10:50 |
| Arc | Dr_Willis: how do i use that option? | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: at the boot screen theres like a man icon at bittom. hit a key. its under the other options, F6 I think | 10:50 |
| ancanta | how i restart google chrome ? | 10:51 |
| Arc | Dr_Willis: i dont actually get that screen, grub doesnt even give me a menu before it goes in | 10:52 |
| TheHypnotist | AbhiJit, i dont really know, i thought maybe i might remember something useful, but i can't. sorry | 10:52 |
| AbhiJit | TheHypnotist, ok np | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: I think its only avail for a few moments after grub vanishes.. or you could edit the grub boot line and append 'nomodeset' to the end. | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: on the Install disk - theres the man/settings/f6 - if the system is installed - you need to add uit to the boot/grub options | 10:53 |
| Beefcakes | Hello internet people. I am about to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. How should I start? Do I partition with Windows 7? | 10:53 |
| Pharishta | i would install windows 7 first on one partition | 10:53 |
| Arc | ok so "nomodeset" no -- in front of it | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: i 'cheated' and made a usb flash drive installer with a persistatn save that i installed the nvidia drivers on. :) that way i dont need the options. Or i have also made a usb flash installer that had the nomodeset as the default in the syslinux.cfg files | 10:53 |
| Pharishta | then ubuntu on the next one | 10:53 |
| AbhiJit | Beefcakes, 1st install 7 then ubuntu | 10:54 |

| Dr_Willis | Arc: if you can edit the grub menus use the 'text' option. (replace splash quite with 'text') that will boot to the console. THEN you can edit /etc/default/grub and add the nomodeset option as a default. and/or install teh nvidia drivers. (nvidia-current) i think is the packag name | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: ive done it both ways :) | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Arc: the recovery mode option at grub by default should let you get to the console also i thought. but ive rarely used it. | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | I did a 'alternative/text based install' then had to use the 'text' option, to get in and set nomodeset, then i was able to boot to the desktop. and then installed the nvida drivers. | 11:06 |

| Beefcakes | Is there any documentation on what a /, a swap and a /home are? | 11:15 |
| debianus | Shouldn't I get the output after debianus@ laptopfuzzy? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | debianus: what are you expecting? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | its printing the text.. with no 'carrage return/' so you see the prompt on the same line... | 11:16 |
| Norrland | debianus: hm, try cc -o test test.c | 11:16 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: well, / is the root partition, /home is the home partition, and swap is a partition that's used for swap, sort of like a pagefile | 11:16 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: /home = My Documents? | 11:16 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: /home is where everyone's personal data goes | 11:16 |
| Beefcakes | / = \Windows ? | 11:16 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: it's more than that | 11:16 |
| debianus | Norrland, The same output... | 11:16 |
| Gnea | no. | 11:17 |
| Gnea | / = \ | 11:17 |
| Gnea | there are no drive letters | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: my suggestion.. use windows to resize D: shrink it down so you got a few dozem+GB after it thats unallocated.. and tell the ubuntu installer to use unallocated space.. no need to manually do the partions then | 11:17 |
| Beefcakes | Okay, more importantly, does Ubuntu do this by default? | 11:17 |
| Gnea | so / is everything | 11:17 |
| Gnea | no, by default Ubuntu crams /home in with / | 11:17 |
| Beefcakes | I mean, will Ubuntu automatically make these partitions? | 11:17 |
| debianus | Dr_Willis, Can you also recommend an ide for c please? to try it out? | 11:17 |
| Gnea | in real usage, you won't even notice that /home is a different partition | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: Befor booting Install cd -> (windows C:) ( data D:) (Unallocated space) | 11:18 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: it will if you tell it to | 11:18 |

| Beefcakes | Cool. So I'm assuming that's a best practice? Have /swap, / and /home on different partitions? | 11:18 |
| Gnea | !swap | Beefcakes | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Beefcakes: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 11:18 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: swap is swap, never /swap | 11:18 |
| Norrland | debianus: try g++? | 11:18 |
| debianus | Dr_Willis, Thanks so much :) | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: then after the isntall it will look somthing like -> (C:) (D:) (Ubuntu /, swap) | 11:18 |
| debianus | Norrland, Thanks, will try it out. | 11:18 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: / denotes that it's part of a directory structure - think of a swap partition as being more efficient than a swap file, since it is :) | 11:18 |

| Gnea | Beefcakes: you can have 20 partitions if you want. | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: you are missing somthing. :) You can have 4 PRIMARY partitions. | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: one can be an Extended, that can hold a lot of logicals... | 11:20 |
| Beefcakes | Oh, PRIMARY partitions, yes. | 11:20 |
| Beefcakes | Primary partitions = OS'es go herE? | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | C -> primary D-> primary (extended, Ubuntu / , swap) | 11:20 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: you can have 3 primary partitions, then 1 extended partition to make (read: contain) as many logical partitions as you like. Linux doesn't care if they're primary or logical, only windows does. | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: ubunbtu can go on logicals.. actually i think windows can now a days also | 11:20 |
| Beefcakes | I can insta;; Ubuntu in an extended partitions? | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: 'logicals' yes. | 11:20 |

| Dr_Willis | the default installer does it that way I belive. | 11:21 |
| e01 | how can i fix it | 11:21 |
| Beefcakes | I see, this is great stuff. I never knew a world beyond Windows. | 11:21 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, for all that matters, you can have a single "primary" partition, and everything else in logical ones, even other OSes. | 11:21 |
| Beefcakes | Artemis3: Windows in that primary partition I assume? Then I can have my D and Ubuntu in an extended->logical partition? | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: whats annoying - is i have seen windows 7 installs allready using 4 primary partitions.. that madeit hard for me to setup linux on that box. | 11:21 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: well welcome to Linux :) | 11:21 |
| Beefcakes | Alright.. I'm ready to do my reinstallation. Let me get this right. | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: D: may allready be in a extended/logical. check 'sudo fdisk -l' output | 11:22 |
| Beefcakes | 1. Partition with Windows installer, install 7 Ultimate... | 11:22 |
| Beefcakes | make another partition for D, then install linux on the unallocated drive | 11:22 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: don't feel bad if you have to reinstall a few times, I've reinstalled *thousands* of times | 11:22 |
| Gnea | of course, the last installation was about a year ago | 11:22 |
| Beefcakes | since I'm allocating D for <files>, can I have ubuntu in a partition as small as 50GB? Is that enough? | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: basically yes. I dont see why yiou need a D: really. | 11:22 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: I use D to keep files whenever I have to do a windows reinstall. | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: 50gb is fine. I got my /home/ partiion on its own 2TB hd. | 11:23 |

| robot1 | I recently installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on my computer. Sound isn't working. I have a gigabyte motherboard with an onboard via audio sound card. Can some one please help? | 11:23 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, just make sure you leave unpartitioned space and that should do. Windows doesnt have to use only primary partitions either. | 11:23 |
| Beefcakes | How should I allocated 50GB? | 11:23 |
| NewUserFF | i have some questions about wireless net-connection,any help? | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: I keep mine on exteranl usb. :) in case the HD dies. | 11:23 |
| Beefcakes | *allocate the 50GB for linux? | 11:23 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: the main reason for putting /home elsewhere is, in the event of a reinstall, you won't have to worry so much about backing up your data as it will simply be there if you have to tell the installer where /home is and it will allow you to not re-format it | 11:24 |
| Beefcakes | How much should be on /, for swap and for /home? | 11:24 |
| kaner | hi. one question, when a laptop runs low on battery, ubuntu automagically suspends it. does it suspend-to-ram or suspend-to-disk by default? | 11:24 |

| Gnea | Beefcakes: okay, do you like to use the hibernate/sleep features? | 11:25 |
| Artemis3 | suspend=ram hibernate=disk | 11:25 |
| kaner | Artemis3: ah, yes. but that doesnt answer my question :) | 11:25 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: Hm, I don't know, but for starters, I'd like that option. My laptop is more of a desktop replacement. | 11:25 |
| kaner | does it suspend or hibernate by default on low battery? | 11:25 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: okay, then I suggest making your swap double the amount of ram | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: if your laptop has more then 1 hd. (like mine) i just set up windows on HD#1. and linux on hd #2 | 11:25 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: so if you have 1G of ram, make swap 2G | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont see the point in raid. :) | 11:25 |
| Gnea | 2G of ram, 4G of swap | 11:26 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: Unfortunately they're abstracted to me due to RAID 0. | 11:26 |
| Artemis3 | kaner, you configure that in System -> Preferences | 11:26 |
| Beefcakes | It has 8GB of ram, should I use 16GB for swap? | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: i wouldent even use raid at all on it.. | 11:26 |
| kaner | Artemis3: yes, its more of a theoretical question. which is default? | 11:26 |
| Gnea | 8G on a laptop?! | 11:26 |
| Beefcakes | Yes, I'm on a custom built laptop | 11:26 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: yeah, 16G then | 11:26 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: that's not overkill at all? | 11:27 |
| kaserf | is anyone else experiencing problems with libgcr after a recent update? I cannot run any program linking to libgcr anymore (like empathy) | 11:27 |
| Beefcakes | so I'm allocating 50GB for Ubuntu... 16GB of that is in swap? | 11:27 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: Nope! you basically need to be able to take a snapshot of RAM and place it into SWAP on hibernate. there needs to be enough room to hold it. | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: depends on your needs. If you dont want to use hibernate/suspend. you can use less. | 11:27 |
| quiescens | probably | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: how big is the HD total? | 11:27 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, use 100mb+ your physical if you want to hibernate | 11:27 |
| NewUserFF | Here I have a wireless server,but I need to input user and password after I have connected it.But I find no place to input it.When I connected it successfully,I can't find a place such as DSL,how can I do? | 11:28 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, so 8,1 is enough | 11:28 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: 1TB | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: gee. thats sort of tiny for that monster of a laptop. :) | 11:28 |
| Beefcakes | two 500GB drives, I have yet to add a third drive because the laptop is getting really hot | 11:28 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: at 1TB, you won't miss 16G :) | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | I got 2x500gb hds in mine. | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | but one is my old linux install heh. | 11:28 |
| Beefcakes | I kinda regret buying this thing IMHO. | 11:28 |
| Norrland | hehe | 11:28 |
| Beefcakes | I never get to take it anywhere because its damn fat | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Yep. Mine goes to work.. and plays movies.. 18.4 in screen. and like 15 lbs. | 11:29 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, a good idea is to split your swap in the 2 HDs, use 4,05g in one, and 4,05g in the other | 11:29 |
| Beefcakes | Artemis3: Unfortunately, they're abstracted to me due to RAID | 11:29 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: heh, it would probably make a great field system | 11:29 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, then never mind | 11:29 |
| Gnea | I could see it owning in an engineering/scientific setting | 11:30 |
| Beefcakes | I wonder what will happen to my video card under ubuntu. | 11:30 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: what's the make? | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | I really dont see the point in using raid0 unless you really really need the speed.. | 11:30 |
| micah | I need help with getting java to work | 11:30 |
| Gnea | !java | micah | 11:30 |
| ubottu | micah: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 11:30 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: I'm using a Sager, I also have an older NP9262 machine | 11:30 |
| egnss | hi jayne :D | 11:30 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: www.sagernotebooks.com IIRC | 11:30 |
| micah | i have downloaded icedtea and java but everytime i go to play runescape it stills says i need it | 11:30 |
| Beefcakes | Silly they call these things notebooks. roffle. | 11:31 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: I've seen the Sagers, haven't actually used one yet, they look nice | 11:31 |
| ugliefrog | Dr_Willis, In reference to getting my indicator envelope icon to reflect new mail....I reset it and no luck. | 11:31 |
| micah | even downloaded the add ons too firefox | 11:31 |
| Gnea | haha | 11:31 |
| egnss | jayne, :D | 11:31 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: yeah, we were looking at those a month ago | 11:31 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: what video card is on it? | 11:31 |
| Beefcakes | Alright... So 50GB for Windows 7, whatever for files, 50GB for Ubuntu (16GB of that is swap, but how much is for / and /home???) | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ugliefrog: reseting the panels dident bring it back. that is weird. | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: depends on your needs.. what are you doing in linuix... | 11:31 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: oh, I'd go 30%, 70% for / and /home, respectively | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | 50gb for windows 7 is a bit tiny also. :) | 11:32 |
| ugliefrog | Dr_Willis, I must be missing something simple...Ill keep diggin | 11:32 |
| Iznougoud | Hi all. I'm having issues when trying to install 10.10 (32-bit) on a socket A-system (462) of mine (i.e. it installs but refuses to boot up). Any known ones when it comes to older hardware? | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ugliefrog: make a new user. see if it works for them | 11:32 |
| micah | my java isnt working properly, can anyone help? | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: whats your ubuntu version? how did you install java. | 11:32 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: Playing with it mostly. | 11:32 |
| dougztr | Is there a GUI tool for configuring grub now? | 11:32 |
| Gnea | micah: well, you only need one version of java installed | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: you could just runubuntu inside virtualbox if you wanted... | 11:33 |
| ugliefrog | Dr_Willis, hmm ill try that...i shall return with news | 11:33 |
| Gnea | micah: I suggest using only sun's java at this point | 11:33 |
| micah | im using sun java | 11:33 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: Dual 480Ms. WOuld ubuntu suppor tthat/ | 11:33 |
| Gnea | micah: so just remove all of your java and install only sun java | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: what does 'java -version' say? | 11:33 |
| Gnea | micah: you said you installed iced tea, therefore you have more than just sun | 11:33 |
| micah | ubuntu 10.10 maverick and i installed it through packages and on firefox add on | 11:33 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: er, is it a geforce or ati/amd? | 11:33 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: Yeah but I don't want to run it virtually :) | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | runescape worked for me earlier. i was using this 'java' | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ava version "1.6.0_20" | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) | 11:34 |
| Beefcakes | Gnea: NVIDIA GeForce. They're one of the fastest cards you can get today | 11:34 |
| micah | I did install iced tea but its not showing up and either is sun java | 11:34 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, there are 580s now... | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: you must have deep wallets for such a laptop. | 11:34 |
| micah | how do i uninstall everything and re install just sun java? | 11:34 |
| dougztr | this /etc/grub.d stuff seems confusing, I want to add in an OS it didn't pick up on | 11:34 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: Ubuntu and Nvidia go together like pumpkin pie and whipped cream | 11:34 |
| Beefcakes | Artemis3: *one of the fastest* | 11:34 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: I have loving siblings. | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | dougztr: add the proper info th /etc/grub.d/40_custom like it would appear in the grub.cfg and it would get appeneded to the end. | 11:35 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | how is Ubuntu doing with new integrated video of Intel Core i3/i5? | 11:35 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: Ubuntu and ATI/AMD are more like dehydrated milk and orange juice | 11:35 |
| micah | god im sick of ubuntu i need a windows computer | 11:35 |
| Artemis3 | i wouldn't use a 480 in a desktop, don't know about the mobile versions. the 480 can consume 300w easy, and reach 100c | 11:35 |
| Syburg | hey, does someone know when empathy will be updates due to the reason of connections problems to the ICQ network? | 11:36 |
| Gnea | micah: list what's installed, remove it, then just install the sun version. you can see what's all there like this: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep java | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: odd.. it ran fine here. all i did i think was installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras on this new install.. that pulled in a java that worked. | 11:36 |
| Beefcakes | Alright. I'm nearly ready to reinstall eveyrthing | 11:36 |
| micah | lol dumb it down for me guys im new to ubuntu | 11:36 |
| Beefcakes | But before messing with this machine I might install it on an older laptop | 11:36 |
| micah | how do i see what all is installed and how to remove it? | 11:37 |
| Gnea | micah: I just did. :) you'll need to open a terminal: applications->accessories->terminal | 11:37 |
| Beefcakes | I have a laptop here with C2Q 2.66GHz/4GB/500GB RAID 0 | 11:37 |
| micah | okay i enterd yoru command gnea | 11:37 |
| micah | it gave out a reading i dont know what it means | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: the raid may cause more issues then anything else. | 11:37 |
| dougztr | Dr_Willis, yeah I saw that option. I want to remove things. I don't suppose I can disable the automagic grug.cfg system? | 11:37 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: Really? How so? :( | 11:37 |
| Artemis3 | if its a fake raid, you are better of disabling it | 11:38 |
| micah | Gnea: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep java | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: ive been saying raid0 is proberly not worth it for the last 20 min... | 11:38 |
| Gnea | micah: okay, dpkg -l lists every package, grep ^ii "greps" or "looks for and displays only" packages with the 'ii' or 'installed' status, and finally it's looking for anything with 'java' in it | 11:38 |
| Gnea | micah: slow down, please. | 11:38 |
| Artemis3 | Beefcakes, linux software raid is in fact a much better option than some cheap fake raid ^^ | 11:38 |
| micah | gnea:i have 8 things with ii | 11:38 |
| micah | ca certificates java, java- common, libaccess bridge java etc. | 11:39 |
| Gnea | micah: if you type dpkg -l on it's own, then run it by piping it through grep ^ii, it will make more sense | 11:39 |
| micah | I did | 11:39 |
| Gnea | k | 11:39 |
| micah | it shows what i have now how do i uninstall it all | 11:39 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | !compatibility > me | 11:39 |
| Gnea | so now you can see how it's formatted and which are the names of the packages | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: Gnea heres my output of that command. (rune scape does work for me) i do NOT seem to be using the sun java --> http://pastebin.com/Zj6Ci9nZ | 11:40 |
| Gnea | micah: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 11:40 |
| onla | trying to install ubuntu amd64 version with unetbootin, but when I boot it, it says that "no live system found" on the usb.. it shows the first screen alright with 'check disk for defect' try without installing, and install ..but after that I get that msg | 11:40 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: cool, well we'll just make sure he has icedtea then | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: someone in her earlier was saying his game was sluggish with icedtea. but i dident notice it. | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: my java -version output --> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) | 11:41 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: I kicked icedtea to the curb when it wouldn't certain things I needed for school, it handles everything else just fine | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: from the wikipedia on raid --> about raid 0 --> RAID 0 does not implement error checking, so any error is uncorrectable. More disks in the array means higher bandwidth, but greater risk of data loss. | 11:41 |
| Gnea | but if icedtea works for runescape, then icedtea it is | 11:42 |
| * Gnea doesn't play runescape | 11:42 | |
| Gnea | :) | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: i cant really see why anyne plays it... | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 11:42 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: I have too much fun with matlab | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: +3 nerd points | 11:43 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: showed it to a teacher the other day that knows nothing about linux - basically had to describe that it wasn't running on my netbook, but on a school computer with 24 cpu cores and 64gigs of ram on it, but displaying the entire program across the wireless link into the classroom | 11:44 |
| Beefcakes | Alright! I've decided that instead of installing it on this $8000 monster, I'm going to use an older laptop instead. | 11:44 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: no lag, instant response | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: quitter. :P | 11:44 |
| Beefcakes | If I have 500GB to use. Whats the best way to allocate partitions? 50GB for Windows, 400GB for Files, 50GB for Ubuntu? | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: but brand-new cutting edge stuff.. is often problamtic. | 11:44 |
| Gnea | lol | 11:44 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: sure | 11:44 |
| StrangeCharm | i just set up a new ubuntu install, but when i try to boot into the new system, my machine halts after 'verifying dmi pool data' what's going on? [i'm certain that i'm booting from the right disk] | 11:45 |
| Beefcakes | then 8GB for swap, Uhhh how much for / and home again | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: You can always play with it in virtualbox or set up a bootable flash drive. | 11:45 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: I just follow the 30/70 rule of thumb | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: depends on your needs.. it proberly wont matter much fio you are just playing with it. | 11:45 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: maybe in this laptop, but the one I'm installing it on I can't really care any less :P | 11:45 |
| micah | Gnea: I deleted the different javas except sun java and it stillw ont work | 11:45 |
| === Xeross|AFK is now known as Xeross | ||
| Beefcakes | 30 for / and 70 for /home? | 11:45 |
| jrib | !away > Xeross | 11:45 |
| ubottu | Xeross, please see my private message | 11:45 |
| Gnea | micah: okay, remove sun java now entirely, then install icedtea | 11:45 |
| micah | ok | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: i would uninstall all the javas then 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' and see if that pulls in a proper java | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: i THINK that ubuntu-restricted-extras pulled in the java for me.. | 11:46 |
| Xeross | jrib: Hmm I'll just leave the channel then as I don't need to be here anymore | 11:46 |
| micah | ok im downloading now | 11:46 |
| * Dr_Willis sends xeross the bill. | 11:46 | |
| Gnea | heh | 11:46 |
| micah | anyone know any good games for ubuntu by the way? | 11:47 |
| micah | free games* | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: http://www.penguspy.com/#/All/free_and_commercial/sort=1/view=1/limit=0 | 11:47 |
| Gnea | micah: there are tons in the repository if you check out the 'games' section of the software center | 11:47 |
| Gnea | micah: or use synaptic | 11:48 |
| Beefcakes | Installing Windows 7 + Ubuntu.. wish me luck fellas. | 11:48 |
| micah | ty | 11:48 |
| Beefcakes | Wait, from Ubuntu can I install apps on an NFTS partition? | 11:48 |
| micah | damn still says i need to install a java when i already have java installed | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: i imasgine getting windows setup will take 100x longer then ubuntu :) | 11:48 |
| Gnea | micah: there's also http://www.playdeb.net/ | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: linux can read/write to ntfs partitions.. it dosent install TO the partitions. | 11:48 |
| minedmind | hey, I'm truing to install ubuntu studio on a new computer. First it couldn't install grub. So i grabbed a new dvd just to try. Now it doesn't even boot on the dvd player... | 11:48 |
| Gnea | micah: how are you trying to run runescape? | 11:48 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: So, may I intall apps on ntfs partitions? | 11:49 |
| micah | runescape is a browser game | 11:49 |
| Gnea | oh yes | 11:49 |
| Gnea | using firefox? | 11:49 |
| micah | yeah | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: what of it? what are you expecting? Linux to run them? or what? | 11:49 |
| micah | but it wont work on any type of browser | 11:49 |
| micah | still the java problem | 11:49 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: For example, whnever I run out of space on c:, I install my Windows stuff on D: | 11:49 |
| Gnea | sec, I'm trying to load it up | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: that has nothing to do with linux... | 11:49 |
| micah | ok | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: linux can read/write ntfs... thats it. | 11:50 |
| Beefcakes | Dr_Willis: Can I do the same? For example, I run out of space on my ubuntu partition, can I install stuff on D? | 11:50 |
| agerlos | what do you think is best: firefox or chrome | 11:50 |
| Gnea | micah: okay, I just went to the site with chrome and it loaded right up | 11:50 |
| alessandro1997 | agerlos, I think Chrome is faster. | 11:50 |
| Gnea | !best | agerlos | 11:50 |
| ubottu | agerlos: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 11:50 |
| micah | ok let me try chrome | 11:50 |
| Gnea | now it's fetching updates | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: linux can read/write to ntfs partitions.. it dosent install TO the partitions. | 11:51 |
| * Gnea listens to the fan on his netbook scream at him | 11:51 | |
| micah | nope still says missing plug ins on chrome | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: you dont 'run around' the package manager system in Ubuntu that way | 11:51 |
| Beefcakes | oh okay. that means I can't download an app and have the app install on an NTFS partition | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Beefcakes: you rarely 'download an app' for ubuntu | 11:51 |
| Beefcakes | that means I might need to allocate more GB into ubuntu | 11:51 |
| Gnea | java -version | 11:51 |
| Gnea | java version "1.6.0_22" | 11:51 |
| Gnea | Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04) | 11:51 |
| velko | Beefcakes, windows distinguishes executable files by their extensions. linux by the "executable" bit. if ntfs does not support setting this bit (which i believe is the case) you cannot execute programs on a ntfs partition. not with a double click anyway | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | java -version | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | java version "1.6.0_20" | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) | 11:52 |
| micah | how do i download java version 1.6.0 22? | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: what does Your 'java -version' say? | 11:52 |
| nexus6__ | hi | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | runescape just crashed my browser.. :) | 11:52 |
| Beefcakes | velko: I see, that effective means some executables in linux aren't defined by their extensions? | 11:53 |
| micah | um what command again to see what java version ihave? | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: what does Your 'java -version' say? | 11:53 |
| velko | Beefcakes, none of them are | 11:53 |
| micah | oh | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | its 'java -version' :) | 11:53 |
| Gnea | micah: my system's a bit beefed up right now, but this is my java listing: java -version | 11:53 |
| Gnea | java version "1.6.0_22" | 11:53 |
| Gnea | oops | 11:53 |
| micah | Dr_Willis: it says version 1.6.0_20 | 11:53 |
| Gnea | Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04) | 11:53 |
| FloodBot2 | Gnea: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:53 |
| Gnea | micah: http://pastebin.com/xeUM8TMY | 11:53 |
| Gnea | sorry about that | 11:53 |
| Beefcakes | Thanks guys, I'm on my way. | 11:53 |
| velko | Beefcakes, linux does not care at all about extensions. in fact most executables does not have any extension at all | 11:53 |
| Beefcakes | I'll remember 30/70. | 11:53 |
| micah | its weird cause 20 minutes ago my java worked just fine now all the sudden it dosent | 11:54 |
| eslitjuh | hi | 11:54 |
| Gnea | Beefcakes: good luck | 11:54 |
| eslitjuh | Can some help me ? | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | eslitjuh: and the issue is? | 11:54 |
| micah | am i going to have to wipe my whole system? | 11:54 |
| Gnea | !ask | eslitjuh | 11:54 |
| ubottu | eslitjuh: 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. :-) | 11:54 |
| Gnea | micah: what? | 11:55 |
| eslitjuh | I need help i got world of warcraft Patch 4.0.3. how i go back to Version 4.0.0. | 11:55 |
| shamess | I just installed ubuntu along side my Windows install. And I booted into it and did the installation and updates fine. Though there was a GRUB config I had to do and it told me "if you don't know which is your boot drive, just select all of them" or some such, so I did that. | 11:55 |
| Gnea | !wow | eslitjuh | 11:55 |
| ubottu | eslitjuh: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 11:55 |
| shamess | Now at boot, it just goes to "grub rescure"... | 11:55 |
| micah | how do i delete all javas again? | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | eslitjuh: err.. how is that related to ubuntu support? and you proberly ant. | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | micah: run 'sudo synaptic' search for and remove java. is what i would do. | 11:55 |
| shamess | Oh, actually, "error: no such device: d93..." before it. Does anyone know what's going on? | 11:56 |
| Beefcakes | Dammit. Forgot to backup a 60GB folder. :S | 11:56 |
| Gnea | eslitjuh: don't know, haven't decided to waste my life away in that manner... but I'd probably uninstall and install up to the 4.0.0 | 11:56 |
| micah | ok im a thing called synaptic package manager? | 11:56 |
| micah | now what? | 11:56 |
| Gnea | micah: one thing at a time - let's fix java, then get the games | 11:57 |
| Beefcakes | Is there an article highlighting the performance benefits of running Ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| micah | okay | 11:57 |
| Gnea | micah: install a program called pastebinit if you haven't already, please | 11:57 |
| alessandro1997 | micah, why don't you try 'sudo apt-get autoremove java'? | 11:57 |
| micah | downloading it now | 11:58 |
| Gnea | alessandro1997: bad idea | 11:58 |
| alessandro1997 | Why? | 11:58 |
| Gnea | because it might remove other important things | 11:58 |
| micah | just downloaded pastebinit | 11:58 |
| alessandro1997 | So, sudo apt-get remove java | 11:58 |
| Gnea | okay | 11:58 |
| Gnea | alessandro1997: watch and learn, please | 11:58 |
| gadeynebram | Hi all! Does anyone have problems with flash videos beiing black in firefox? An ubuntu user contacted me with this problem but on my computer everything works fine. | 11:59 |

| micah | ok | 11:59 |

| Prikolist | ok | 11:59 |
| Prikolist | who is the help personal here? | 12:00 |
| brontoeee | gadeynebram, on this channel i mean | 12:00 |
| jrib | nexus6__: why are editing it? How did you edit it? (2 questions) | 12:00 |
| gadeynebram | brontoeee, Are there any solutions proposed? | 12:00 |
| Gnea | micah: awesome. now, what is the output of this: java -version | 12:00 |
| nexus6__ | i opened it with gedit | 12:00 |
| jrib | nexus6__: and my other question? | 12:00 |
| nexus6__ | i want apache only to liste 127.0.xxx | 12:00 |
| brontoeee | gadeynebram, other than crappy acceleration in non-fullscreen mode it works for me, so i didnt bother with solutions | 12:00 |
| jrib | !sudo | nexus6__ | 12:00 |
| ubottu | nexus6__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:00 |
| brontoeee | and i dont use firefox | 12:00 |
| micah | Gnea: output is java version 1.6.0_20 | 12:00 |
| Marcje | Hey guys, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with the latest updates installed. I'm new to 'wine' and I tried to install PHPDesigner 7. The installation completed succesfully and I can run the program.. but.. I'm not able to create a new project with the projectmanager. Has anyone experience with this issue or maybe a solution? | 12:01 |
| micah | OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) | 12:01 |
| micah | OpenJDK Client VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing) | 12:01 |
| micah | that too | 12:01 |
| Gnea | micah: okay, now, need you to run a few commands here... first one is: sudo updatedb | 12:01 |
| Gnea | micah: this one will sit there and you will hear the HDD chug away - it's okay, it's rebuilding the index to search the filesystem | 12:01 |
| jrib | nexus6__: #httpd can probably help you with the proper way to do what you want too | 12:02 |
| gadeynebram | Marcje, I'm not familiar with PHPDesigner in wine. But is it just not saving the project or does it show an error? | 12:02 |
| nexus6__ | ahh understand. i just opened gedit via "sudo gedit" | 12:02 |
| micah | Gnea:nothing happened | 12:02 |
| Gnea | micah: it just returned to the prompt? | 12:02 |
| micah | yes | 12:02 |
| Gnea | micah: then it worked successfully. | 12:02 |
| agerlos | anyone here knows how to install the linux version of utorrent? | 12:03 |

| micah | ok | 12:03 |
| Gnea | micah: many commands are like that :) | 12:03 |

| nexus6__ | jrib, how can i open the file explorer via sudo? | 12:03 |

| micah | oh haha i always expect a long list of all its doing | 12:04 |
| alessandro1997 | nexus6__, sudo nautilus. | 12:04 |

| oracle | is there a way to use aptitude to upgrade the kernel to a version not yet dispatched by the universe team | 12:04 |
| oracle | i dont want to compile my kernel just to run +1 | 12:04 |
| Gnea | micah: okay, it looks like you downloaded java from sun.com at some point, right? | 12:04 |
| micah | im not sure haha i tried alot of downloads | 12:04 |
| micah | but yes i think so | 12:04 |
| hauk142 | agerlos: but if you have heard of Vuze, there is a official linux version for that as well | 12:05 |
| gadeynebram | marcje, for many programs a rather simple solution is setting the runlevel of wine to Windows XP... Maybe this would help | 12:05 |
| shamess | Ah, actually, that's not so helpful for me. It needs me to have access to terminal, but I don't... | 12:05 |

| shamess | I only have this "grub rescue" thing. :/ | 12:05 |
| Gnea | micah: okay, then what's happened is you've mixed non-ubuntu software with ubuntu software. that is, java straight from the website with java packaged specifically for ubuntu. this causes problems because the system is freaking out because it doesn't know where certain things are at. | 12:05 |

| Marcje | that doesn't seem to work either.. it was already in WinXp mode, tried setting it to other versions of windows too | 12:07 |
| micah | yeah they were in downloads i deleted the fiels | 12:07 |

| Gnea | micah: right, but they were installed on the system - those are the files that need to be removed, but they need to be removed carefully so that other files that are important to the system don't get removed | 12:08 |
| micah | okay | 12:09 |
| Gnea | micah: removing from the Downloads/ folder doesn't mean they're uninstalled :) | 12:09 |

| Gnea | you can remove something from C:\Program Files\something, but the registry still thinks it's installed | 12:09 |

| zim | jrib: touch cant do cdate all the other just not cdate | 12:10 |
| micah | okay so is there a command to just delete everything downloaded within the last 15 minutes or something? | 12:10 |
| Nephster | Thank very much. | 12:10 |
| Nephster | Thanks. | 12:10 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Dr_Willis: thank you .. I remember we spoke the other night (it's night here) . I got it all working back a few years ago via manually creating my xorg.conf file .. I'll play with it over the holiday. | 12:10 |
| ugliefrog | Dr_Willis, Well it didnt work...but what was interesting is that the problem i was having with rhythm box went away under guest | 12:11 |
| Gnea | micah: it's not that simple. | 12:11 |
| micah | = / | 12:11 |

| Gnea | micah: okay, locate java | grep plugin | pastebinit | 12:51 |
| unop_ | s0126h, a guess - it's a partition on a fixed drive that you didn't have the permissions to mount it | 12:51 |
| Gnea | karlo94: perhaps :) try again | 12:51 |

| micah | Gnea:okay deleted the default one and made a new one firefox works now | 13:22 |
| reequest | gneea that's not live is it? | 13:22 |
| Gnea | david1: just read the link that ubottu said about ppa's, it will explain | 13:23 |
| Gnea | micah: awesome | 13:23 |
| micah | Gnea:runescape still is freezing my browser again and not working though | 13:23 |
| croe | ciao | 13:23 |
| Gnea | reequest: okay, it's installing ubuntu on a usb flash drive - you boot that instead of the live usb because it's a full installation, so it's basically live | 13:23 |
| croe | !list | 13:23 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 13:23 |

| Gnea | reequest: look at the persistent | 13:24 |
| reequest | Gnea: I want to be able to take it to various PC's and have it detect the drivers so I can use it anywhere, so I think I need a proper live install | 13:24 |
| === coaboa||away is now known as coaboa | ||
| Gnea | reequest: that's what YOU think. :) the persistent install will do that for you. | 13:24 |
| micah | reequest:http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 13:25 |
| Gnea | reequest: you may need to make some changes now and then, otherwise it'll be fine. if you really want to stick with the live usb, then put up with the menus | 13:25 |
| micah | reequest:there is the instructions and files to download for a live disc | 13:25 |
| david1 | by the way, can somebody help me troubleshoot user settings not loading correctly, sometimes they load sometimes not, i dont know wich settings load or not but i can see it on panels theme and sound settings. My user has a black panel theme (but sometimes they load white) and a nosounds option (though when panels are white, i do have sounds) | 13:25 |
| root__ | bom dia | 13:25 |
| Gnea | micah: I'm really at a loss now, I don't know what's wrong | 13:26 |
| reequest | micah/Gnea I am running a persistent live usb install right now | 13:26 |
| Gnea | micah: it should just *work* at this point | 13:26 |
| micah | Gnea:how do i see what javas are installed again? | 13:26 |
| Gnea | something's been overlooked and I'm not sure what, and I need to get to bed soon | 13:26 |
| reequest | but it's that menu that bothers me, I don't want to be asked every time if i want to install, because I never will | 13:27 |
| Gnea | micah: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep java | 13:27 |
| Gnea | reequest: again, put up with it or make a persistent install, those are your choices | 13:27 |
| micah | Gnea:im gonna send you a screen shot of the output | 13:27 |
| Gnea | micah: k | 13:27 |
| reequest | it IS a persistent install, it still asks if I want to install, every time | 13:27 |
| micah | Gnea:what was that picture sharing website again? | 13:28 |
| Gnea | NO, a persistent install does NOT ask you that | 13:28 |
| sascha_ | is it possible to import a mysql db (files , not sql) from windows xampp into the ubuntu mysql server? | 13:28 |
| Gnea | a persistent install is like installing to a hard drive - there's no difference, at all, whatsoever | 13:28 |
| reequest | I made a persistent install using the usb creator | 13:28 |
| Gnea | micah: tinyimg.org | 13:28 |
| reequest | there's a casper-rw file | 13:28 |
| Gnea | reequest: so you put a livecd on a usb stick - that's not a persistent install :) | 13:29 |
| reequest | and it definitely asks me about installing | 13:29 |
| david1 | more questions, i installed the ubuntu netbook but since i did not like it i installed the gnome desktop. wich packets my i uninstall to remove the netbook remix desktop? | 13:29 |
| === nickkkkkkk is now known as Syria | ||
| micah | Gnea:http://www.tinyimg.org/view.php?filename=907Screenshot.png | 13:29 |
| reequest | the usb creator app has an option to use casper for persistence, no? | 13:29 |
| Gnea | !usb | reequest please read both of these sites to underestand the difference between a LIVE and PERSISTENT: | 13:30 |

| Dr_Willis | reequest: you could do a 'normal' install to the flash drive. if you are going to be doing 'real work' from the flash drive. that is proberly a better option | 13:33 |
| wen | are you chinese | 13:33 |
| micah | Gnea:okay now its back to saying "it appears you do not have java installed" on runescape | 13:33 |
| Gnea | wen: the chinese are in #ubuntu-cn, #ubuntu-tw and #ubuntu-hk | 13:33 |
| Treyno | Guys, say i want to make a file which would do xinput --set-prop "Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 5 | 13:33 |
| Treyno | on startup | 13:33 |
| * hashashin nas | 13:33 | |
| Treyno | how would i do that? (new to ubuntu) | 13:33 |
| reequest | Dr_Willis: So, if I used that, how is my install not persistent? | 13:33 |
| trojan_spike | lil info please,, if i wanted to multi-remove, would it be 'sudo apt-get remove vlc && gimp && k3b (etc) ?? | 13:33 |

| Gnea | wen: please ask on-topic questions. | 13:34 |
| david1 | gnea, is it save to uninstall through synaptic ubunt-netbook if i allready installed and im using gnome? | 13:35 |
| Gnea | david1: if you're logged in using gnome, sure | 13:35 |
| annihilator | li want to back engineer kubuntu to have a complete windows look to it is that legal? lol | 13:35 |
| trojan_spike | annihilator, it is | 13:36 |
| micah | Gnea: it just says i need to install java now | 13:36 |
| reequest | Gnea I have read those pages and I still get the impression that my installation is using persistence via casper, as per the persistence setting in usb-creator that I used | 13:36 |
| Gnea | micah: run through this really quick: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | reequest: if you do a normal install.. its just like it was on a hard drive. - theres some limitations to the persistant-live-type install. I just use them in speccial cases. like an installer media. or a video player setup that i never update. | 13:37 |
| Gnea | reequest: if it was persistent, you wouldn't be asked to install. | 13:37 |
| annihilator | but which is better 32bit or 64bit to run irc and file server | 13:37 |
| micah | Gnea:lol i was going through this page all night | 13:37 |
| Localh0st | IDENTIFY Localhost666 maldivas | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: i think the peristant setups i made do ask. there MAY be some option to the kernel that may make it not ask. | 13:37 |
| micah | Gnea:I have no idea what any of it means | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Localh0st: Huh? time to change your password/ | 13:37 |
| Localh0st | lol | 13:38 |
| Localh0st | owned | 13:38 |
| Localh0st | but, who cares? | 13:38 |
| Gnea | micah: I don't know what else to suggest at this point.... we've made sure everything else is fine.... maybe someone else can help, I'm pooped. My last resort suggestion is to reinstall the whole thing, but that would be silly | 13:38 |
| Gnea | Localh0st: way to go | 13:38 |

| RootMan121 | hi | 13:49 |
| aurilliance | I have a samba windows NAS that has lots and lots of music on it, I want to play the music on my ubuntu netbook, streaming over the network. Lots of ubuntu music players support playing individual files like this, however I'm yet to find one that allows me to queue up lots of songs to listen to like a playlist. VLC, Totem and RhythmBox aren't able to do it. Does anyone know of a player that will let me do this? | 13:49 |
| Gnea | alright, I need sleep | 13:49 |
| RootMan121 | hello everybody! | 13:51 |
| airtonix | aurilliance, what? im sure all of them can do it because they relegate filesystem access to GIO & GVFS | 13:52 |
| skx_ | so... i'm trying to capture some random-ass audio to sample for this track i'm working on... anyone know an app i can use for audio capture? | 13:52 |
| LjL | aurilliance: uhm, can't you just mount the network share and then use it with any player as if it were a local disk? | 13:52 |
| airtonix | aurilliance, this is how i watch movies with vlc | 13:52 |
| aurilliance | LjL, airtonix Ill have another look... | 13:52 |
| RootMan121 | ok | 13:52 |
| RootMan121 | ill just download some torrent | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mounting a share isent actually 'streaming' :) | 13:53 |
| Sophymax | 我擦，这里就没有个说汉语的？ | 13:53 |
| airtonix | aurilliance, btw when you mount a smb or ssh remote filesystem it provides it as a "virtual" file system in ~/.gvfs/ | 13:53 |
| aurilliance | airtonix, LjL How do I "mount the network share" - any particular process? I've just been going to Main Menu->Places->Network->[My Server]->Music | 13:53 |
| aurilliance | airtonix, ^ thnx | 13:53 |
| Sophymax | There is no person who can speak Chinese? | 13:53 |
| LjL | Sophymax: in #ubuntu-cn there are | 13:53 |
| bazhang | Sophymax, in #ubuntu-cn | 13:54 |
| airtonix | aurilliance, the way you have been doing is how it's done. when you do though you'll find that when you access files it's done via the ~/.gvfs/ | 13:54 |
| karlo94 | Sophymax, 里就 个说 语的 | 13:54 |
| LjL | aurilliance: sudo mkdir /mnt/somewhere; sudo mount //network/share /mnt/somewhere -o username=you | 13:54 |
| LjL | aurilliance: you can edit /etc/fstab to make that mounted always | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !info smbfs | 13:54 |
| ubottu | smbfs (source: cifs-utils): Common Internet File System utilities - compatibility package. In component main, is optional. Version 2:4.5-2 (maverick), package size 4 kB, installed size 56 kB | 13:54 |
| LjL | aurilliance: mind that if the programs do support GNOME virtual filesystems, what airtonix is saying should work just fine too | 13:54 |
| airtonix | im pretty sure none of that is needed, GVFS is fairly mature | 13:54 |
| airtonix | and if the program does not support GVFS then you just point at ~/.gvfs | 13:55 |
| Sophymax | I know i know 3q very much | 13:55 |
| RootMan121 | ok | 13:56 |
| RootMan121 | im running ubuntu | 13:56 |
| RootMan121 | with transmission | 13:56 |
| RootMan121 | its a bit | 13:56 |
| Treyno_ | How can i create an executable file which runs on start up, basically i want xinput --set-prop "Razer DeathAdder" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 3 to run on start up | 13:56 |
| airtonix | ... | 13:56 |
| RootMan121 | torrent client | 13:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !enter | RootMan121 | 13:56 |
| ubottu | RootMan121: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:56 |
| bazhang | RootMan121, no need for the excessive enter key | 13:56 |
| * airtonix silently steals RootMan121s enter key | 13:57 | |
| Dr_Willis | !autorun | Treyno_ | 13:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !autostart | Treyno_ | 13:57 |
| ubottu | Treyno_: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 13:57 |
| skx_ | so yeah... an audio capture thingy... anyone know one? | 13:57 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, that definition of "startup" needs to be changed to "session login"...too many confuse it with system startup. | 13:57 |
| Dr_Willis | skx_: vlc can capture from devices. proberly dozens of other tools that may work better.. check the package manager luistings? | 13:59 |
| Treyno_ | Thanks Dr_Willies | 13:59 |
| Treyno_ | -e | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | so RootMan121 did you have an actual question abouyt the transmission torrent client? | 13:59 |
| * rocket16 believes Ubuntu should include Gnote as Note-Taker, rather than Tomboy, as Gnote is faster and of the same Functionality. | 14:00 | |
| skx_ | Dr_Willis: yeah i inst'd a few things out of the reops but they're all vid rippers, apparently | 14:00 |
| Dr_Willis | rocket16: can it sync with ubuntu one? | 14:00 |
| skx_ | repos* | 14:00 |
| airtonix | skx_, vlc can capture from many inputs | 14:00 |
| RootMan121 | yes | 14:00 |
| rocket16 | Dr_Willis: Not yet, but I believe the support will be added soon, if its nominated as the default note-taker. | 14:00 |
| skx_ | hrm | 14:01 |
| RootMan121 | its low disk space | 14:01 |
| skx_ | lemme give vlc a shot then | 14:01 |
| Dr_Willis | skx_: i imagine most of the audio editors can proberly record. | 14:01 |
| airtonix | skx_, but i suppose you want to capture audiooutput from another program ? | 14:01 |
| RootMan121 | i wanted to start the computer janitor | 14:01 |
| rocket16 | Dr_Willis: And it's being worked on, as per http://live.gnome.org/Gnote | 14:01 |
| Dr_Willis | I though there was a sound-recorder mini app sole where also. | 14:01 |
| aurilliance | :) LjL the .gvfs folder trick is working perfectly - thanks for that! | 14:02 |
| skx_ | airtonix: yeps | 14:02 |
| aurilliance | airtonix, ^ :) ta | 14:02 |
| skx_ | airtonix: trying to capture audio from firefox | 14:02 |
| airtonix | skx_, hopefully you haven't removed pulseaudio (because pulseaudio makes this easy) | 14:02 |
| Dr_Willis | skx_: some of the pulse audio tools may be able to do that also. | 14:02 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 14:02 |
| skx_ | airtonix: well i'm running xubuntu so.... | 14:02 |
| Dr_Willis | one of the reasons for pluse :) | 14:02 |
| airtonix | skx_, i haven't used xubuntu for a long time. | 14:03 |
| skx_ | i haven't used reg. ubuntu for a long time heeh | 14:03 |
| skx_ | hehe | 14:03 |
| skx_ | but they seem to be getting closer and closer | 14:03 |
| airtonix | skx_, if i want lightweight system i just switch to the openbox desktop environment i have installed on regular ubuntu | 14:03 |
| skx_ | yeah i usually use flux | 14:04 |
| airtonix | skx_, so does that mean you don't have pulseaudio ? | 14:04 |
| skx_ | air, i dunno | 14:04 |
| skx_ | nm | 14:05 |
| airtonix | skx_, does pabrowse give any info ? | 14:05 |
| skx_ | pulseaudio is installed | 14:05 |
| sascha_ | is there a programm for managing my ipod? | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !ipod | 14:06 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 14:06 |
| skx_ | airtonix: pabrowse just fully stalled out | 14:07 |
| skx_ | but it seems i have the pulseaudio pack installed | 14:07 |
| airtonix | skx_, yeah you have to ctrl c to exit | 14:07 |
| airtonix | skx_, i think you might need to install padevchooser for more flexibility | 14:08 |
| skx_ | airtonix: but do i need it just do grab audio ? | 14:08 |
| skx_ | to* | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | grabbing audio from a running application is a bit of a diffrent 'task' then just 'grabbing audio' from the mic input.. so yes. | 14:09 |
| RootMan121 | what is amarok? | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | RootMan121: a media player | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !info amarok | 14:09 |

| RootMan121 | and what is audacity? | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | RootMan121: 'apt-cache search audacity' for info. | 14:10 |
| skx_ | hrm... i thought that all apps just kinda fed audio to one place | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | its a sound editor app i belive. | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Pulse audio allows all sorts of tricks. | 14:10 |
| === denny_ is now known as denny | ||
| skx_ | audacity is a tasty little sound editor | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | with Pulse - i can play a movie on PC #1 and have the sound come out of PC #2 | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | and use pc #4 as an imput for skype on PC1 and so forth | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !pulse | 14:11 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 14:11 |
| skx_ | ok so if i was trying to use vlc to wtf was going to my sound server and feed it into a wav file, how would i do that? | 14:12 |
| skx_ | vlc to listen to wtf* | 14:13 |
| skx_ | srry... | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc menus -> open capture device.. some /dev/XXX entry in there. | 14:13 |
| airtonix | skx_, ok so what you do is install padevchooser. | 14:13 |
| RootMan121 | ok | 14:13 |
| airtonix | skx_, then fire up sound reorder | 14:13 |
| skx_ | it'd be... /dev/snd? | 14:13 |
| RootMan121 | im gonna download mac os x iso image without torrent | 14:14 |
| airtonix | skx_, then run padevchooser | 14:14 |
| bazhang | RootMan121, thats offtopic and illegal. take it elsewhere | 14:14 |
| airtonix | skx_, let me know when you got padevchooser in the notification panel | 14:14 |
| skx_ | airtonix: can i drop that into the xfce panel? | 14:15 |
| RootMan121 | bye | 14:15 |
| airtonix | skx_, it normally lives in your system tray thing | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | skx_: run it and i think it adds itself to the systemtray thing | 14:15 |
| skx_ | air, alright it's there | 14:15 |
| airtonix | skx_, then fire up the program thats providing the audio source (im using vlc in this case), and to test this setup set vlc to play something long , and leave it running | 14:16 |
| BIGBAMBU | hi gutys | 14:16 |
| airtonix | skx_, no left click on the padevchooser icon, and select volume control | 14:16 |
| airtonix | now* | 14:16 |
| shakaponk | hey guyz | 14:16 |
| `Jackie | hey. I have a problem... I installed ati display driver from ati webpage and I activated it throught additional drivers. After I activated the driver, I have no 3d graphics, no games, no anything. If I deactivate the display driver, I have 3d graphics working just fine but in the games I get this : ERROR: You don't have an NVIDIA or ATI/AMD card. This game may not run correctly or at all. What should I do ??? I have ubuntu 10.10 and ati radeon hd 4650.. | 14:17 |
| airtonix | skx_, and with sound recorder, start recording, (you should see both sound recorder and the volume control windows showing a VU meter that moves in sync) | 14:17 |
| airtonix | skx_, (if not it means we need to change the recording monitor to the output of the audio device) | 14:18 |
| === vega is now known as Guest53679 | ||
| shakaponk | i got a problem with the current ubuntu version | 14:19 |
| shakaponk | copy files operation is so damn slow... | 14:19 |
| shakaponk | i'm new to linux... | 14:19 |
| shakaponk | what could it be | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | `Jackie: that dosent make sence.. the addational drivers - tool should download/install the drivers from the repos.. You dotn download them from the ati web page. | 14:19 |
| littlejoey_z | ati yeah good luck! | 14:20 |
| === Guest53679 is now known as vega- | ||
| shakaponk | have to say, got windows installation previously on that computer | 14:21 |
| `Jackie | Dr_Willis, BEFORE I installed ati driver from the website, in additional drivers wasn't any driver. It appeared only after I manually installed the driver. | 14:21 |
| airtonix | skx_, http://imagebin.ca/img/lPzeBZuS.png | 14:21 |
| shakaponk | does it depends on the format of the partition? | 14:22 |
| skx_ | airtonix: alright... so i just screwed myself so i have no audio output... | 14:22 |
| shakaponk | ntfs? | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | `Jackie: it could be the ati drivers vurrent version dont support the card. I dont use ati any more. so really cant help a lot. | 14:22 |
| === vega_ is now known as vega- | ||
| Dr_Willis | shakaponk: disk copy speeds would depend on everything.. including the filesystem | 14:22 |
| `Jackie | so anybody ?? | 14:23 |
| airtonix | !anyone | `Jackie | 14:23 |
| ubottu | `Jackie: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:23 |
| skx_ | airtonix: alright, fixed. | 14:23 |
| shakaponk | hold on please | 14:23 |
| zaoul | hi | 14:23 |
| airtonix | skx_, does that screenshot help ? | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | `Jackie: i would check the forums for that exact make/chipset and see if anyone else has had issues. | 14:23 |
| shakaponk | cant read white font color on a bright background | 14:23 |

| `Jackie | airtonix, I already asked my question | 14:25 |
| skx_ | airtonix: i've got nothing in the recording tab | 14:25 |
| shakaponk | are there any solutions? got two harddiscs | 14:25 |
| zaoul | airtonix: you must be a masochist | 14:25 |
| shakaponk | on the first i have two partitions | 14:25 |
| === michael is now known as Burzmali | ||
| airtonix | skx_, have you pressed record in sound recorder ? | 14:25 |
| sascha_ | maybe this is a bit offtopic but what does it mean when people write something like _THIS_ | 14:26 |
| airtonix | zaoul, it was an example of how vague your question was | 14:26 |
| shakaponk | one was for windows and the other for personal data | 14:26 |
| airtonix | sascha_, emphasis ? | 14:26 |
| shakaponk | now i want to backup the personal data from d: to the second drive | 14:26 |
| shakaponk | to format this partition | 14:26 |
| airtonix | sascha_, in markdown it's formattign for italics | 14:26 |
| sascha_ | hmm | 14:26 |
| sascha_ | thank you. i really read this type of more and more each day | 14:27 |
| skx_ | airtonix: eh? no i haven't | 14:27 |
| Rickardo1 | I´m looking for an application with webgui that monitors network traffic... any tip? | 14:28 |
| littlejoey_z | does anyone know of a cool package/software for ubuntu? It is vague but I mean, stated another way, what are some of your favorite packages for ubuntu? | 14:28 |
| airtonix | skx_, ok run sound recorder from the application menus, and start recording | 14:28 |
| Norrland | Rickardo1: mrtg? | 14:28 |
| zaoul | GOBBY | 14:28 |
| dewyface | hey, my ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing. The screen goes black and the CAPS and SCROLL light are turning on and off and i have to hard reset my computer. It then does a disk check. Should i buy a new harddrive? or could it be related to memory? | 14:28 |
| LjL | littlejoey_z: you can find a little statistics about that in #ubuntu-bots by querying BestBot | 14:28 |
| littlejoey_z | dewyface are you sure it is not related to hibernate/sleep? | 14:29 |
| airtonix | skx_, as soon as you hit the record button in sound recorder, it should show up on the "recording" tab in volume-control | 14:29 |
| dewyface | littlejoey_z: not sure what you mean, one minute im using the computer and then suddenly the screen goes black and i have to restart | 14:29 |
| littlejoey_z | LjL: thanks, I will try it out | 14:29 |
| antu | hi | 14:29 |
| littlejoey_z | dewyface: is it usually after not using the computer for a few minutes?? | 14:29 |
| skx_ | airtonix: ...gotta install it... it's apparently not part of xubuntu by default | 14:29 |
| dewyface | littlejoey_z: no even while im using it | 14:30 |
| dougztr | dewyface, that sounds like some kind of overheating or something | 14:30 |
| airtonix | skx_, oh no sound recorder of any kind ? | 14:30 |
| dewyface | dougztr: only had the computer turned on for a few minutes, it can work for 10 hours or 10 minutes | 14:30 |
| skx_ | well... xubuntu's kinda stripped | 14:30 |
| shakaponk | its a new installation, just installed some programms... nothing else changed | 14:30 |
| littlejoey_z | dewyface: I am not sure, but try ctrl+alt+f1, and then ctrl+alt+f7 when that happens, that sometimes fixes it... | 14:31 |
| dougztr | dewyface, try looking through the old log files | 14:31 |
| dewyface | dougztr: which log files? | 14:31 |
| dewyface | littlejoey_z: thanks what do those commands do lol | 14:31 |
| dougztr | dewyface, idk stuff in /var/log or something | 14:31 |
| littlejoey_z | relax, it is safe :) the first one goes to the terminal | 14:32 |
| littlejoey_z | and the second reruns X (the windows system) | 14:32 |
| antu | i got a problem: when i do "cryptdisks_start hdd-1" it says keyfile not found, but the keyfile does exist and when i try "cryptsetup luksOpen --key-file=/root/mykeyfile /dev/sda2 hdd-1" everything works fine... how can i tell cryptdisks_start that this file exists? | 14:32 |
| antu | in /etc/crypttab i have the same file path "/root/mykeyfile" | 14:33 |
| littlejoey_z | by the way, I have a question too, is there a way to mount the windows partition at start-up? An easy way? without having to mount that each time manually? | 14:33 |
| antu | all i want is that ubuntu auto-mounts my crypted partition :( | 14:33 |
| littlejoey_z | I know the commands, but they require sudo | 14:33 |
| zaoul | littlejoey_z: I recommend autofs | 14:34 |
| llutz_ | littlejoey_z addit to /etc/fstab | 14:34 |
| airtonix | skx_, sudo apt-cache depends install gnome-media | 14:34 |
| airtonix | skx_, woops no need for sudo with apt-cache | 14:34 |
| littlejoey_z | zaoul: and llutz: thanks I will look into thhose | 14:34 |
| skx_ | airtonix: alright, bro.. got it | 14:35 |
| skx_ | airtonix: it's rec'ing and showing up in pulse | 14:35 |
| airtonix | skx_, you should be able to change the input next to the mute button in volume control | 14:36 |
| knoppix | How do i get my files when im not logged in Ubuntu | 14:36 |
| littlejoey_z | cool zaoul: thanks for autofs, I would rather do that with a package than having to edit the configuration files manually :) | 14:36 |
| onla | should i be able to install amd64 version with unetbootin, it just reported that no live cd found when i chose 'install ubuntu' from the menu after booting the usb | 14:37 |
| skx_ | airtonix: you're my friggin hero... | 14:37 |
| skx_ | airtonix: i think that worked | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | onla: server edition? desktop? kubuntu? ubuntu? what exactly. | 14:37 |
| airtonix | skx_, hopefully you can repeat that with other sound recorders | 14:37 |
| onla | ubuntu.com front page and clicking x64 .. so basic ubuntu 10.10 | 14:37 |
| zaoul | littlejoey_z: I feel the same about my bind_dlz configuration | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | onla: it should work. but ther ewas some issues with unetbootin when 10.10 first came out. theres a usb-disk-maker tool on the cd iso image also. | 14:38 |
| skx_ | airtonix: lemme check it out | 14:38 |
| HelloWorld | Hi there, is there a way to access win7 share with ubuntu when WLM11 is installed ?, when it was installed, i could'nt login to my folder from ubuntu, is there a workaround ? Ty | 14:38 |
| littlejoey_z | zaoul: what is bind_dlz? | 14:38 |
| zaoul | littlejoey_z: bind from sql | 14:38 |
| littlejoey_z | oh ok | 14:39 |
| onla | Dr_Willis: i see. Maybe I check out how I can operate that | 14:39 |
| juk | what are these i get time to time (gvim:11870): IBUS-WARNING **: Connect to unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-SDNnrqQ1H3,guid=40ca5d52688ecbbdf95a51fa000002b5 failed: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-SDNnrqQ1H3: Connection refused. | 14:39 |
| knoppix | my Ubuntu dose not work there some thing with the kernal and im trying to get my home dir copied to ex hdd. but her encrypter with ecryptfs | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | onla theres also lili, and a several other tools that can do it. checjk pendrivelinux web site to find more | 14:40 |
| airtonix | skx_, as a bonus, you can use padevchooser to pipe audio through the network to and from other machines that use pulseaudio | 14:40 |
| knoppix | im in knoppix 6.2 now | 14:40 |
| onla | i'm on win7 at the moment. I made the bootable usb disk with win version of unetbootin | 14:40 |
| NFischer | Hi all! i want my gnome-terminal to open in another size. When i open it, i press ctrl+- in order to get it smaller; i want it to open just like it is after issuing ctrl+-, how do i do that? | 14:40 |
| onla | I guess I can find some other windows app that can do it | 14:40 |
| airtonix | skx_, if all your ubuntu machines have avahi running then you *should* see them pop up in the padevchooser menus | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | NFischer: check the 'gnome-terminal --help' command line options perhaps. | 14:41 |
| alexmaco | hello everyone | 14:42 |
| Treyno | how do i fix: dpkg: error processing cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) | 14:42 |
| Treyno | Errors were encountered while processing: cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb | 14:42 |
| knoppix | my Ubuntu dose not work there some thing with the kernal and im trying to get my home dir copied to ex hdd. but its encrypted with ecryptfs and im on knoppix now. I did not encrypt my home dir it was ubuntu. | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Treyno: you just downloaded that .deb from some web site? | 14:42 |
| Treyno | yerh | 14:43 |
| alexmaco | has anyone got 5 minutes for a really weird network problem? | 14:43 |
| littlejoey_z | Tryeno: you have a 64-bit OS and you want to install a x86 | 14:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Treyno: you need the 64bit version.. | 14:43 |
| airtonix | !ask | alexmaco | 14:43 |
| ubottu | alexmaco: 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. :-) | 14:43 |
| iRabbit | !ask | alexmaco | 14:43 |
| alexmaco | _everything_ network related works, apart from firefox | 14:43 |
| littlejoey_z | Treyno: I think you can force the install but I don't know if it is a good idea in general :) | 14:43 |
| airtonix | alexmaco, confirm you don't have a proxy set in firefox | 14:43 |
| Kentrel | Every now and again I run into an intermittent problem with Ubuntu, where it starts accessing the harddrive, becomes unresponsive and I lose access to the desktop | 14:43 |
| Kentrel | If I Ctrl F1 to a console, it times out before I can log in | 14:44 |
| Treyno | nah ill just find the 64bit verssion | 14:44 |
| alexmaco | and it's not just my half broken system, it's also on a friend's fresh install | 14:44 |

| alexmaco | airtonix: no, i didn't - i'll look, but that shouldn't be it (it also as i said happens on another fresh install) | 14:47 |
| antu | when i do "cryptsetup luksOpen --keyfile=/root/keyfile ..." everything works, when i do "cryptdisks_start hdd-1" it says keyfile not found although i have exactly the same path (/root/keyfile) in /etc/crypttab, what could be the reason for this? why doesn't this script find my keyfile even if it exists? is there another way to auto-mount a crypted disk at boot with a key file? | 14:48 |
| juk | oh, i got, ibus daemon was off, and it looks for im | 14:48 |
| NFischer | got it! one have to start it with "gnome-terminal --zoom=0.8" thx all! | 14:49 |
| airtonix | alexmaco, i assume you are using 10.10, (and i can't be sure of any maverick specific wierdness) next thing i would try if using a brand new mozilla profile is to download the firefox from the mozilla website and run the tar.gz version | 14:49 |
| juk | NFischer: also you can set default size in profile prefs | 14:49 |
| airtonix | alexmaco, unfortunately, i 'm not using maverick. | 14:49 |
| alexmaco | airtonix: i'm on 10.04 | 14:49 |
| airtonix | alexmaco, and it's just default firefox that comes installed ? | 14:49 |
| NFischer | juk, yes but that alters not fontsize + changing fontsize is different than zooming out | 14:50 |
| alexmaco | airtonix: oh crap - pretty imbarrasing but after the last crash it was stuck in offline mode for some reason; thanks though :) | 14:50 |
| airtonix | :) | 14:51 |

| littlejoey_z | ok so, how does one use autofs?? I want to have all partitions mount at boot-time hmm... | 14:51 |
| Dr_Willis | littlejoey_z: why dont you just make a fstab entry for them. | 14:52 |
| littlejoey_z | Dr_Willis: ok fine, I will look that up | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | 14:52 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | 14:52 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:52 |

| xo_ox | !look | 14:53 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, autofs is like the difference between (setting all the ip and hostnames in your network for each machine in /etc/hosts) or (using avahi ) | 14:53 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, except for storage devices | 14:53 |
| thechitowncubs | Why is my USB Hard drive getting only 1 MB/s ? | 14:53 |
| DexterLB | hi | 14:54 |
| thechitowncubs | hi | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: i though autofs was for insedrtion of usb devices only (or other hot plug media) not for interl drives. | 14:54 |
| jeromy | is there a utility to switch back and forth - netbook interface and ubuntu desktop? | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: so he was a little vague on the details. :) | 14:54 |
| shakaponk | where can i see the state of this bug report? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/392204 | 14:55 |
| jmills | airtonix, Dr_Willis: I would also suggest the fstab if the device is internal. | 14:55 |
| DexterLB | I have a dual-screen setup (NV twinview) and compiz. And I have one problem: on boot the cursor boots right between the two screens instead of in the centre of the primary screen, and unless I immediately move the mouse to the left GDM appears on the secondary screen instead | 14:55 |
| Treyno | line 54 is: deb repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/ | 14:55 |
| Treyno | anyone spot the error? | 14:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Treyno: you are trying to use bt4 repos in ubuntu? | 14:56 |
| Treyno | no | 14:56 |
| Treyno | i dont even know what that is | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Treyno: that line is incomplete.. and why is it even in there.. if you dont know what its for... | 14:56 |

| Beefcakes | Hello guys! | 14:59 |
| Beefcakes | Eeek.. Empathy is such an awful IRC client. | 15:00 |
| sascha_ | is there a way to import xampp files into lampp ? | 15:00 |
| iceroot | sascha_: what is a xampp-file? | 15:01 |
| littlejoey_z | hehe I'm lazy I used pysdm which is a gui to edit the fstab | 15:01 |
| juk | Beefcakes: irssi? | 15:01 |
| littlejoey_z | let's give it a test | 15:01 |
| Beefcakes | juk: I am new to Ubuntu, is that in the Software Center? | 15:01 |
| Beefcakes | How do I find out if I'm running Gnome or KDE? I just installed Ubuntu. | 15:01 |
| juk | Beefcakes: sudo apt-get install irssi | 15:01 |
| iceroot | Beefcakes: gnome | 15:01 |
| Beefcakes | My friend told me to be aware about installing applications because some tend to work for a specific UI? Is that correct. | 15:02 |
| sascha_ | iceroot, xampp is like lampp for windows. i got a database which i want to import. | 15:02 |
| iceroot | sascha_: i know what xampp is but there are no xampp files, what you mean is a mysql-dump | 15:02 |
| cylob | banshee is too slow. what are some good alternatives? | 15:02 |
| juk | Beefcakes: don't be | 15:02 |
| Beefcakes | How do I launch a terminal? I tried alt-f2 then gksudo terminal | 15:02 |
| iceroot | sascha_: and of course you can import a mysql-dump into another mysql-database | 15:02 |
| iceroot | Beefcakes: alt +f2 then type gnome-terminal | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas all | 15:03 |
| sascha_ | the problem is i dont have a .sql file. only the raw database files | 15:03 |
| Beefcakes | oh, I just typed in gksudo terminal, do I need to close something I may have started? | 15:03 |
| sascha_ | i already tryed to copy them into the mysql folder... but the database got no tables then | 15:03 |
| juk | Beefcakes: Menu>Accssesories | 15:03 |
| littlejoey_z | it worked :)... it mounted what I want at boot-time :) | 15:04 |
| littlejoey_z | thanks all | 15:04 |
| Beefcakes | There is no menu, I only see APplications, Places, System | 15:04 |
| iceroot | sascha_: copy them into the correct directory, also see #mysql and always use mysqldump for that in the future | 15:04 |
| juk | Beefcakes: use the brain | 15:04 |
| iceroot | Beefcakes: gnome-terminal | 15:04 |
| iceroot | Beefcakes: and dont use gksudo for calling up a terminal | 15:04 |
| juk | Beefcakes: yours btw | 15:04 |
| sascha_ | iceroot, i already copy them. the problem is i see no tables in phpmyadmin. only the database itself | 15:05 |
| iceroot | sascha_: have you also copied the tables? | 15:05 |
| Beefcakes | juk: I really have no clue what where Menu>Accessories should be. Sorry! :S | 15:05 |
| sascha_ | yes | 15:05 |

| sascha_ | juk, you really like the emphaty irc part? | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | sega just move the file to /usr/bin as long as it's executable | 15:09 |
| juk | sascha_: desn't matter what i like, i use irssi | 15:10 |
| Beefcakes | This is so cool. It's kinda hard to use as compared to mIRC but very geeky. | 15:10 |
| saganbyte | BluesKaj, Its not one file. The application has put multiple files in there | 15:10 |

| detrix | Hello. I want to allow xdmcp on my desktop. anyone know of a good howto guide? | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | detrix: used to be you edited a gdm config and enabled it.. and that was aboout it.. then set up gdm to query the network for avail servers.. but with gdm2 - im not sure if theose feature sstill exist. | 15:11 |
| detrix | Dr_Willis: thats kinda what I am seeing. | 15:12 |
| tgp1994 | Is anyone aware if the cdrecord package has become any more stable or usable in the past couple of months? I used it during the summer, and it was the most buggy thing I had ever used, be it incorrectly writing images, not writing images at all, or completely locking up the computer. I've been using cdrecord 3.0 from berilos for awhile, and I've sort of been itching to use a gui. | 15:12 |
| detrix | Dr_Willis: it was suggested to use a different wm or dm/ | 15:12 |
| detrix | Dr_Willis: but I thought someone might know how to make it work | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | detrix: yea. kdm may make it a lot easier.. or the good old xdm. | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | detrix: i had it going ages ago with GDM1 - not tried it with GDM2. i was thinking it wasent even a feature in gdm2 any more. | 15:13 |
| M1 | O hai. | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | detrix: with ssh, i dont even use the feature any more. :) | 15:14 |
| detrix | Dr_Willis: sorry, I do like to graphically log in. I am learning the command line, but I still like GUI | 15:15 |

| tgp1994 | Could anyone answer my question? | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | tgp1994, isn't cdrecord the main app that most brurner apps in linux are built on , gui or cli ? | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | detrix: what sort of setup are you using that you want xdmcp anyway? | 15:15 |
| juk | !answer | tgp1994: | 15:15 |
| castlec1 | all, I'm having trouble getting the nouveau driver turned off in 10.10. Does anyone have advice? I've tried everything I can find and am about to just compile a new kernel without it. | 15:15 |
| tgp1994 | juk: I know. | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | cdrecord - is the old cli tool i recall. its been replaced by 'wodim' these days. | 15:15 |
| juk | tgp1994: :) | 15:15 |
| tgp1994 | Dr_Willis: Whoops, I think I meant wodim :\ | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | castlec1: i just blacklist the module. for my nvidia systems | 15:16 |
| tgp1994 | The reason I've been trying to go to a gui is since most packages in ubuntu will depend on the wodim package, which I've found to be buggy. | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | tgp1994: cant say taht ive noticed any bugs with it. | 15:16 |
| tgp1994 | Dr_Willis: Really? You've been using wodim comfortably for awhile? | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | tgp1994: i dont even know of any alternatives to it really.. at least not any that would be a drop in replacement. | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tgp1994: i burn iso images all the time with very few issues. | 15:17 |
| castlec1 | dr_willis, i've tried. it's not worked. it's a diskless system. i've tried blacklisting in every way I can find | 15:17 |
| detrix | Dr_Willis: I have a local network of 4 computers. sometimes when using my laptop, I would rather use my desktops computing power. my laptop overheats with intensive computing. | 15:17 |

| slick124 | regarding configuring my ip address | 15:17 |
| slick124 | so that i can connect to local hubs thru dc++ | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | detrix: You may want to check into freenx perhaps. Ive not used xdmcp that way in ages. I set up xming with xdmcp a few years back for a windows machine | 15:17 |
| tgp1994 | Dr_Willis: You wouldn't happen to be able to recommend any gui burning programs while I'm here, would you? | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tgp1994: i use k3b 99% of the time. | 15:18 |

| skx_ | airtonix: one more question though.. can your recommend a good plugin pack for audacity? | 15:18 |

| Dr_Willis | slick124: what does dc++ even mean? | 15:26 |
| slick124 | its a lan software | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | slick124: you can set up static ips using the network manager tool i belive. | 15:26 |

| slick124 | yup | 15:27 |
| slick124 | my service provider has given a dynamic ip address | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | slick124: network manager can do static ip's - or i set my router to always assign the same ip to each box., | 15:27 |
| slick124 | but how to do that | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | slick124: on a LOCAL lan.. you are in controll of the ip#'s - the isp gives me a dynapic ip for my router/machine. | 15:27 |
| slick124 | its asking dor dns | 15:27 |
| skx_ | what's asking for dns? | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | slick124: i set my dns server to 8.8.8.8 (googles) or the ip of my router.. or set it to what the isp normally gives you dunamically | 15:28 |

| Habstinat | I want to install Ubuntu on my computer. I don't know much about Linux, but I know my way around a terminal and whatnot. My computer, a ThinkPad W700ds, refuses to read from my CD when booting. The md5sum is correct and the same CD boots fine from another computer. When I try to install from a USB, I can get the main screen, but when I select any of the options from there my screen turns black for > 3 | 16:19 |
| Habstinat | hours until I have to turn it off. Is there anything I can do about this? I want to have a true partition, don't want a Wubi'd install. | 16:19 |
| david1 | hello, how can i set my gnome as default desktop manager? my loggin screen does not boot after installing and uninstalling lubuntu-dektop | 16:19 |
| AbhiJit | !manua | Habstinat | 16:19 |

| kanthbc | ok fine | 16:19 |
| kanthbc | idleonr please dont just type if you dont know | 16:20 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: it should be installed default | 16:20 |
| IdleOne | kanthbc: please ask clear questions if you want a better answer. | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: yeah, should be. Might not though | 16:20 |
| kanthbc | well i did | 16:20 |
| IdleOne | no you didn't, two of us have answered you and you still don't like the answer | 16:20 |

| vatzec | Hey, folks, any clue why I can't pick the "Ubuntu" font from GNOME theme preferences? | 16:21 |
| kanthbc | what i asked was how to get a screenshot using keyboard in ubuntu10.04 | 16:21 |
| kanthbc | am i clear now? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kanthbc: set the shortcut to something else in keyboard shortcuts, then set it and pres your print screen key, should be ok then | 16:21 |
| juk | !font | 16:21 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 16:21 |
| vatzec | I've changed my theme to the high contrast one just to check, and made it apply font settings, but when I changed back, it didn't ask me to apply new font settings, and I can't manually pick the font. | 16:22 |
| AbhiJit | there is print screen button on nearly every keyboard i think? | 16:22 |
| Habstinat | AbhiJit, Hm? I read through the installation options. I changed the boot order in BIOS. Other people with the same model laptop as me were able to install Ubuntu fine. I don't want to download a large manual if I don't know it will help me. | 16:22 |
| vatzec | I'll try that, juk, thanks, however I have had the Ubuntu font used by GNOME, so it should be installed, right? I'll try though. | 16:22 |
| PENTIUM3 | wow, connecting t here with a commodore 64 and it sux. | 16:23 |
| AbhiJit | Habstinat, does it give any sort of error/ | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | PENTIUM3: i've seen a ZX spectrum twitter client | 16:24 |
| Do7me | تجربة عربي | 16:24 |
| vatzec | juk: Yes, that helped! There's the Ubuntu font now. :) I wonder how it's been used by GNOME before, without the package... | 16:24 |

| PENTIUM3 | i,ve hard that there is a linux project for the commodore, could anybody tell me what it is and where to find it? | 16:25 |
| vatzec | juk: Thanks a lot again, I'll bookmark it for future reference. :) | 16:25 |
| juk | vatzec: welcome! | 16:25 |
| vatzec | Bye! | 16:26 |
| AbhiJit | Habstinat, you checked the md5? and did 'same' cd works for another computer? | 16:26 |

| PENTIUM3 | sorry | 16:26 |
| Habstinat | AchiJit: As I mentioned before, MD5sum is the same. The exact same CD is bootable on the computer I have downstairs. It's x64, don't think that would matter though? | 16:27 |
| AbhiJit | Habstinat, is yor orocessor 64 bit? | 16:28 |
| PENTIUM3 | anyway, i also need help getting ubuntu installed on an old powerbook g4, have burned the ppc version of 6.04 but it doesnt even boot o show on boot list | 16:28 |
| Sheepherd | juk, i think you meant $lsof /dump (since /dump is the mount point of that partition) but this gives me following error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294260/ | 16:28 |
| AbhiJit | your processor* | 16:28 |
| Beefcakes | Argh, rofl Ubuntu | 16:28 |

| juk | Sheepherd: what? | 16:29 |
| AbhiJit | Habstinat, no clue | 16:29 |
| IdleOne | PENTIUM3: on the PPC you need to hold down the C key while booting the cd | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | PENTIUM3: 6.04 isnt supported anymore | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !6.04 | 16:30 |

Context menus stay open also. Any help? | 16:39 |

| ActionParsnip | andy__: did you get a new kernel? | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | andy__: does ALT+F2 do anything? | 16:40 |

| petan | latagore: try nomode | 16:40 |
| latagore | petan: I did | 16:41 |
| radi | erm | 16:41 |
| petan | latagore: ok press ctrl alt f4 | 16:41 |
| andy__ | I also opened up system monitor and no process is actually loading anything. | 16:41 |
| latagore | petan: I boot up with that option by default lol | 16:41 |

| juk | Sheepherd: well, now not :D | 16:41 |

| Sheepherd | juk, why's that? | 16:42 |
| petan | latagore: reboot | 16:42 |
| petan | latagore: choose single and try that | 16:42 |
| andy__ | I do not believe so - it was just a few updates | 16:42 |
| latagore | petan: What do you mean choose single? | 16:42 |
| andy__ | and no those button combos did not do anything | 16:42 |
| petan | latagore: what do you see in menu | 16:42 |
| latagore | Ubuntu and Windows | 16:42 |
| juk | Sheepherd: i happened already, isn't it? | 16:42 |
| petan | latagore: no other ubuntu | 16:42 |
| latagore | petan: No, I removed them from grub | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | andy__: if you log on as another user, is it the same? (Make a new one in recovery mode if needed) | 16:43 |
| petan | latagore: aha... and when you boot you see something with nomode? | 16:43 |
| archangelpetro | is it me, or are the boost libraries in the repository highly behind latest? | 16:43 |
| andy__ | I will make one now | 16:43 |
| Sheepherd | juk, -.- so what can i do about it | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !latest | archangelpetro | 16:44 |
| ubottu | archangelpetro: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.

| euthymos | Quantum_Ion: I'm trying grsync. It's damn good. Thanks | 17:18 |
| fred1 | I have an annoying problem | 17:18 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: And they're all on LVM? or just the storage drives? | 17:18 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: LVM finds the IDE's ok, but the satas are all missing | 17:18 |
| fred1 | Ubuntu is soo slow on the broswer | 17:18 |
| Quantum_Ion | euthymos, good luck | 17:18 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: just the storage drives. | 17:19 |
| fred1 | its like im using a slow proxy when Im not | 17:19 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: Interesting. Alright. I assume you've got a working system then? (you can run commands, packages, etc) | 17:19 |
| petan | andy__: for guest account? | 17:19 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, Install Google Chrome | 17:19 |
| petan | andy__: try guest | 17:19 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: Yes, Ubuntu is running, I just can see all my storage | 17:19 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: what will that do exactly | 17:19 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: Good, that makes this easier. Check to make sure you have the 'lvm2' package installed (sudo apt-get install lvm2), and then we'll take a look and see what we can see. | 17:19 |
| andy__ | petan: when I try to log into any other account the screen stays black | 17:19 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, Google Chrome is a fast Web browser | 17:19 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: thanks, just a sec | 17:19 |
| petan | andy__: even guest | 17:20 |
| fred1 | But Quantum_Ion why is is it slow on firefox | 17:20 |
| andy__ | Yes | 17:20 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: firefox is a good broswer usually | 17:20 |
| petan | andy__: just black? | 17:20 |
| petan | andy__: no cursor | 17:20 |
| andy__ | correct | 17:20 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, Mozilla Firefox is a heavy web browser lot of code and plugins etc | 17:20 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: is it common for it to be slow on ubuntu? | 17:21 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: have ppl experienced this problem or something? Because on windows its fast | 17:21 |
| petan | before you changed fglrx it worked? | 17:21 |
| rigved | Google Chrome keeps crashing in Ubuntu. And it does not have a built-in/plug-in Download manager yet. So, Firefox still remains the best for me. | 17:21 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: and its the same connection | 17:21 |
| aeon-ltd | fred1: no performance should be the same universally, stability though won't be | 17:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, Depends on how much RAM memory your system has | 17:21 |

| petan | andy__: try to remove ati driver and get apt one | 17:21 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: LVM2 is installed and up to date | 17:21 |
| fred1 | quantum 1GB | 17:22 |
| andy__ | petan: easiest way to do that? | 17:22 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, you can tweak Ubuntu Linux system to be faster | 17:22 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: I understand, but its fast in other ways | 17:22 |
| Rick_Deckard_ | Quantum_Ion, how? | 17:22 |
| * d3vil when i startup my laptop it need to give compiz --replace (or metacity --replace) because windows dont works and no windows border appears | 17:22 | |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: alright, first thing to do is 'pvscan' to scan all of your physical volumes (this should see and list everything, even the SATA ones) | 17:22 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: just on browsing | 17:22 |
| petan | andy__: aptitude purge fglrx, then remove all ati stuff you find, in /etc | 17:22 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: I think even downloading is ok | 17:22 |
| Quantum_Ion | Rick_Deckard_, Google Speed up or Tweak your linux system | 17:22 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: Mmm, that almost certainly requires sudo. | 17:23 |
| petan | andy__: then aptitude install fglrx | 17:23 |
| Rick_Deckard_ | Quantum_Ion, i mean how can i tweak ubuntu? | 17:23 |
| avree | trying to install etherpad on ubuntu 10.10. getting an error "Error while executing: Connections could not be acquired from the underlying database" while following the steps here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Etherpad . Any ideas? :( | 17:23 |
| petan | avree: with apt? | 17:23 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: It throws a large list of "Input/Ouput" errors, and says it can't find various UUID's. the final list shows my IDE drive, but the three PV's that refer to the sata are listed as "Unkown device" | 17:24 |

| Quantum_Ion | Rick_Deckard_, http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 17:25 |
| avree | petan: yep, using apt | 17:25 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: Ah. I believe there's some communication issue with those SATA drives then. Do they only support one speed of SATA, and the mobo is trying to talk another (faster, usually) one? (This is usually solved by jumpers, of all things) or something like that? | 17:25 |
| avree | the error occurs when i use bin/run.sh in etherpad | 17:25 |

| egr | hiho, somebody knows where I can find qt4.6 for karmic ? (ggogle doesn't help) | 17:25 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: That issue is just a wild guess, but if those throw I/O issues, I don't think it's a LVM issue, but a lower level one | 17:25 |
| Rick_Deckard_ | Quantum_Ion, ohh... i thought you speak about the OS speed. | 17:25 |
| petan | andy__: do you see /etc/ati? if so remove it | 17:25 |
| petan | andy__: or move | 17:26 |

| dougemd | Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 from scratch with a Nvidia GEFORCE 8500GS? When I select any install or try method from the CD I get blinking green characters randomly on the screen. | 17:26 |
| andy__ | petan: says no such file or directory so I should be good - when I get cd /ect/ati | 17:26 |
| dougemd | I did an md5sum check on the image and verified the CD after writing. | 17:26 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: could be, I have no idea. I don't think there are any jumpers on the satas themselves, but I've still got my motherboard documentation kicking around somewhere... | 17:26 |
| Quantum_Ion | Rick_Deckard_, You can speed up Ubuntu Linux the OS too but you risk Data Corruption | 17:27 |
| Kentrel | dougemd, i have that card, and I installed 10.8 from scratch with no problems | 17:27 |
| Kangarooo | Hello. Ive installed game Ultimate stunts http://www.ultimatestunts.nl/documentation/en/compile.htm a long time ago.. how to purge/remove it? | 17:27 |
| Rick_Deckard_ | Quantum_Ion, data corruption doesnt sound good :( | 17:27 |
| Kentrel | i can also run a 10.10 live disk with no problems | 17:27 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | Flannel: Thanks for the suggestion, I'm gonna go do some research | 17:27 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: thanks | 17:27 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: I will try this now | 17:27 |
| Curs0r | I'm using the usb-creator.exe that's included with ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso and it's not working properly. I select my iso image but it will not recognize it. | 17:27 |
| kittkatt | Hello, I am having a problem with my wifi drivers being in conflict w/my kernel. I want to try and use a newer RC kernel to see if that magically solves my problems but I really don't understand how kernels/kernel modules/kernel-headers work. Does anyone out there have an understanding of them or know a good primer tutorial out there (one you've actually read yourself)? | 17:27 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, no problem | 17:27 |
| dougemd | Kentrel, I just downloaded a fresh iso, checked the md5sum and just verified and burned the disk at the slowest speed. Fingers crossed! | 17:28 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, increase your RAM memory, and install Google Chrome web browser and tweek your Linux settings http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 17:28 |
| james296 | does anyone here know of a similar program to Burg Manager to basically beautify the grub menu? | 17:28 |
| Flannel | mikeTheNewbe_: http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/11/mounting-lvm-disk-using-ubuntu-livecd.html walks you through the LVM steps (well, pvscan, vgscan, etc) if yu need to manually activate your storage drive (although with the IDE drive working, I think once you figure whatever else out, the rest of the drives will show up automatically) | 17:28 |
| Kentrel | dougemd, do you have an onboard video card as well as a GeForce, i.e. 2 videos cards. You might have to disable onboard video in the BIOS if thats the case | 17:28 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: 1gb is not enough? | 17:28 |
| james296 | I mean beautify as in make it as good looking as the mac boot loader | 17:29 |
| avree | petan: seems like it's not finding the mysql db on localhost. could it be because i'm on a vps? | 17:29 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: It might even be 1.5 | 17:29 |
| Rick_Deckard_ | another question. i got a NAS with linux operating system. recently the NAS "died" and i cant read the harddisk content. the disk only shows up in the drive management in ubuntu. the 2 disks ran in raid 1. any ideas? | 17:29 |
| mikeTheNewbe_ | :Flannel: Awesome, thanks | 17:29 |
| dougemd | kentrel, did you use x64 or x32 distro? I'm using x64. There's no motherboard based video. | 17:29 |

| james296 | anyone? | 17:30 |
| dougemd | Kentrel, just put the fresh disk in and tried selecting the disk check and I got a screen with scattered blinking old school green block charaters. | 17:31 |
| andy__ | petan: got an error msg when I tried to reinstall it | 17:31 |
| Flannel | Kangarooo: If you're lucky, the program has a 'make remove' or 'make uninstall'. If not, you have to manually delete all its pieces | 17:32 |
| Kentrel | dougemd, do you have a USB stick. Try making a USB boot disk, and see how that works | 17:32 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, 2GB is standard nowadays | 17:32 |
| Kentrel | Thats how I installed. Never installed from a CD | 17:32 |
| fred1 | hmmmm :) | 17:32 |
| dougemd | Kentrel, thanks.....take a few minutes to dd one on my mac | 17:33 |

| Rick_Deckard_ | Quantum_Ion, well i for example run win7 with 1,5 gb successfull. aero is a no-go though | 17:37 |
| Quantum_Ion | Every new version of Windows requires more RAM | 17:37 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: yes | 17:37 |
| petan | andy__: when | 17:37 |
| Quantum_Ion | next version of windows might require 6GB to start up | 17:37 |
| Curs0r | Ok, so then I guess since no one is going to answer I'll migrate this from help request to bug report: usb-creator.exe on the 10.10 i386 desktop iso does not seem to work under win7 | 17:37 |
| petan | Quantum_Ion: that is not true | 17:37 |
| fred1 | Quantum_Ion: I am at a real complicated part now :( | 17:37 |
| fred1 | ]with the tweaking | 17:37 |
| Kentrel | I don't know MacOS but I use a program called UNetbootin to make all my USB drives. It might run on a Mac | 17:37 |
| andy__ | it downloads - starts to install and says the file is broken | 17:37 |
| Rick_Deckard_ | Quantum_Ion, well win7 uses around 400mb when i run it | 17:37 |
| petan | Quantum_Ion: win 7 runs fine with less then 1 gb | 17:38 |

| Quantum_Ion | fred1, if your a Liux newbie dont tweak your system because you might screw it all up | 17:55 |

| VvdBergh | @ Quatum if he does not try now on a fresh install he will have to do more when he fully configured his system | 17:56 |
| Quantum_Ion | fred1, Are you familiar with Copy and Waste then you dont have to type all that out by hand | 17:56 |
| greezmunkey | Daekdroom: yikes, I don't know about 10.10, sorry, in 10.04 there is a menu option to check the cd. Sorry. | 17:56 |

| Quantum_Ion | VvdBergh, I have an USB external hard drive that I installed Ubuntu Linux on | 17:58 |
| dragonkeeper | is there a command to update the system from 10.04 to 10.10 so i dont have to reinstall ? | 17:58 |
| remoteCTRL2 | whuts wif da pidgin and icq? | 17:58 |
| erUSUL | !upgrade | dragonkeeper | 17:59 |
| ubottu | dragonkeeper: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 17:59 |
| remoteCTRL2 | dragonkeeper: sudo do-release-update | 17:59 |
| Quantum_Ion | So when I want to boot into Ubuntu Linux I just tweaked the settings in my BIOS to boot from my USB ports and plug in the External USB hard drive and it runs Linux | 17:59 |
| dragonkeeper | ok ty | 17:59 |
| remoteCTRL2 | dragonkeeper: you might want to change your sources settings from long term release versions only to normal releases... | 18:00 |
| VvdBergh | I was able to get my Toshiba Satellite P500 1C8 without Windows when I said to the shop owner I would t row it of directly at home | 18:00 |

| VvdBergh | serveral threads on the Ubuntu forum already | 18:01 |
| remoteCTRL2 | gosh, k | 18:01 |
| mlmg317-himts | OK - can anyone refer me to another channel to get my question answered? | 18:01 |
| remoteCTRL2 | thanks dude | 18:01 |
| ubuntu | bob | 18:01 |
| remoteCTRL2 | mlmg317-himts: and the question was? | 18:02 |
| tgp1994 | petan: Any ideas, then? | 18:02 |
| mlmg317-himts | remoteCTRL@: Hello - can anyone tell me why - whenever I run clamscan or even avgscan - why terminal at some point just STALLS - and the whole process just freezes indefinitely? | 18:02 |
| fred11 | hi quan | 18:02 |
| Nasha | who needs AV on UNIX? | 18:02 |
| remoteCTRL2 | mlmg317-himts: not me, sry... | 18:02 |
| tgp1994 | Nasha: For scanning NTFS partitions. | 18:02 |
| remoteCTRL2 | agree *g* | 18:02 |
| === kermit__ is now known as mavs | ||
| Nasha | But why scan an NTFS partition? Leave that to Windows | 18:03 |
| mlmg317-himts | remoteCTRL2: OK - then do you know of another support channel I could try for this question? | 18:03 |
| remoteCTRL2 | mlmg317-himts: as i am not aware of any clamav or avg channels not so much, sry... | 18:03 |
| === bcnice20|Chillin is now known as bcnice20 | ||
| tgp1994 | Nasha: Windows can get hit hard by viruses, usually up to the point where it can't boot. | 18:04 |
| dougemd | Anyone know why a usb boot stick I created in mac OSX with dd won't boot on my PC? | 18:04 |
| === mavs is now known as kermit | ||
| Nasha | Well yes, im aware of windows inability to function as a stable OS lol | 18:04 |
| remoteCTRL2 | windows always boots in save mode and if not anymore a virusscan wont help you anymore... but thats a topic for another channel? | 18:04 |
| dragonkeeper | dougemd make sure usb is 1st boot in the bios | 18:05 |
| mlmg317-himts | remoteCTRL2: K - but there are other general support channels that exist. It makes sense that there would not be a specific support channel for this software - as many Linux users think they still don't need to worry about even checking for viruses. Which one is the best to try? | 18:05 |
| Nasha | dougemd: OSX formats differntly to windows | 18:05 |
| tgp1994 | Nasha: There ya go then :) | 18:05 |
| Nasha | Even for USB | 18:05 |
| mlmg317-himts | remoteCTRL2: I mean, which general support channel would be the best to try? | 18:05 |
| dougemd | drangonkeeper, double checking..... | 18:05 |
| fred11 | quan are you there?? | 18:05 |
| remoteCTRL2 | mlmg317-himts: well if you want to try something generic that is somewhat related id give #debian a shot | 18:06 |
| dougemd | Nasha, if I'm using dd then the format shouldn't matter correct? | 18:06 |
| Nasha | It will because it cant read the partition table | 18:06 |
| greezmunkey | mlmg317-himts: check with the web page for the provider of the code, they will usually have a forum, or at least an email chain you can get into. | 18:06 |
| skraps | jcs2010 | 18:06 |
| Nasha | dougemd: install hfsutils | 18:07 |
| mlmg317-himts | remoteCTRL2: thank you !!! | 18:07 |
| Nasha | U should then be able to mount it, provided its not a journaled FS | 18:07 |
| dougemd | Nasha, ohh I thought did would litterally copy bit for bit....... thanks! | 18:07 |
| mlmg317-himts | greezmunkey: OK - are you talking about the Ubuntu web page? | 18:07 |
| Nasha | Nope, dd isnt that low level. Its filesystem based | 18:07 |
| Nasha | mlmg: Try AVG support | 18:07 |
| remoteCTRL2 | any of you got any instant messaging client up and running that currently works with icq? | 18:07 |
| remoteCTRL2 | mlmg317-himts: np | 18:08 |
| Nasha | mlmg: But i would say that if your having th same problem with mutiple pieces of software, then theres an issue with your installation | 18:08 |
| greezmunkey | mlmg317-himts: no clam, or whatever the other one you are having trouble with is. | 18:08 |
| vic20gmr | im trying to make a bootable usb install drive, but the usb utility isnt working | 18:08 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Or should I say stable and testing rather. | 18:09 |
| mlmg317-himts | greezmunkey: OH - OK, gotcha ... good call :) Thanks! | 18:09 |
| sprung | hi, i read a support forum entry and it told me to delete my ubuntuone config and now i can't get ubuntuone to work like it did the first time i ran it | 18:09 |
| greezmunkey | mlmg317-himts: good luck, they will know how their code interacts with the os. | 18:09 |
| sprung | here is my ubuntuone error http://pastebin.us/1344 | 18:10 |
| fred11 | does anyone know if Ubuntu Tweak helps? | 18:10 |
| sprung | i have also tried reinstalling ubuntuone | 18:10 |
| sprung | fred11, ubuntu tweak isn't officially supported, i'll tell you that much, i use it myself but just warning ya | 18:10 |
| tgp1994 | What's going on? | 18:10 |
| Nasha | sprung: If you deleted your config file, then youve lost all settings you had, and wont be able to get them back | 18:10 |
| sprung | Nasha, why can't i just get ubuntuone to run like it did the first time, asking me credentials? | 18:11 |

| dougemd | Nasha, since you seem to know what you're talking about. Why would Ubuntu 10.4 liveCD properly boot and my 10.10 liveCD balk and show blinking green characters. Both iso passed m5sum and the cds were verified. | 18:12 |
| fred11 | Quantum_Ion: | 18:12 |
| sprung | fred11, take your time :) i've been googling for the answer as well | 18:12 |
| fred11 | you there? | 18:13 |
| greezmunkey | fred11: is this a new system, using FF | 18:13 |

| Nasha | dougemd: Sounds gfx related... Dont know why 10.04 works though | 18:13 |
| dougemd | Nasha, I'm guessing the newer distro and kernel in 10.10 are imporperly recognizing my video card? | 18:13 |
| Nasha | Quite possibly, what is it? | 18:13 |
| dougemd | Nvidia GEFORCE 5600GS | 18:14 |
| sprung | fred11, that was my original issue, that ubuntuone was slow. i read that deleting my config for the purpose of reentering it would fix the problem. that was a mistake. now i get this error and it will not sync http://pastebin.us/1344 | 18:14 |
| fred11 | spring.. :( | 18:14 |
| Nasha | Hmmm, pretty old card nowdays... | 18:14 |
| fred11 | sprung: I am a total newb | 18:14 |
| Nasha | There is an option for safe gfx mode install? | 18:14 |
| greezmunkey | fred11: in FF disable ipv6 for a start, it will speed things up indeed. | 18:14 |
| fred11 | sprung: I would help you if I knew | 18:14 |
| sprung | fred11, that's fine, somebody else will help me. | 18:14 |
| dougemd | Nasha, never seemed to have a problem with this machine and Ubuntu 10.10 .... i just got two 1 TB drives in a raid config and wanted to start fresh... this new 10.10 iso I downloaded doesn't properly handle the graphics. | 18:15 |
| Nasha | Ok, so youve had 10.10 installed on it before | 18:15 |
| fred11 | greezmunkey: where is IPV6? | 18:15 |
| sprung | hi, i read a support forum entry and it told me to delete my ubuntuone config and now i can't get ubuntuone to work like it did the first time i ran it.

(x64 by the way)....now I downloaded a new one and it doesn't give me any graphics and the livecd crashes with blinking green characters when I make a selection form the ascii based menu. So, did a double check with md5sum and veirfied the disk after I burned it. | 18:16 |
| aeon-ltd | !sound | andai | 18:16 |

| cousteau | I wanted to install LibreOffice, so I uncompressed the tar.gz with the debs on a folder. Then I ran dpkg-scanpackages to create the Packages.gz, and I finally moved the folder with the debs and Packages.gz to /opt. Now, how do I add it to my sources.lsit? | 18:17 |
| andai | is there a way to stop then start alsa | 18:17 |
| greezmunkey | fred11: in FF type in about:config - you will recieve a warning, please read it. Once you are in do a search for ipv6, it will take you to the correct line. Specific instructions for this proceedure can be found by googling "disable ipv6 in firefox" | 18:18 |

| herro | but its on a vps | 18:54 |
| beuken | wookiehangover, X-Sleepy-X, im restarting the torrent, thanks for the response | 18:54 |
| tensorpudding | alket_: you might be able to emulate it on Wine | 18:54 |
| tannerste | alket: check out ies4linux | 18:54 |
| tensorpudding | alket_: but for best results, install Windows virtually, or get a Windows machine. | 18:54 |
| herro | what would i type Minecraft_Mod.jar & exit? | 18:54 |
| ardian | Hi alket_ | 18:54 |
| alket_ | hey ardian | 18:55 |
| ardian | Try wine | 18:55 |
| zulax | is there a builtin command to see my external ip? | 18:55 |
| alket_ | tensorpudding, im not able to download it but i will try virtualbox | 18:55 |
| tensorpudding | Wine can emulate IE7 iirc, but not IE8 | 18:55 |
| aeon-ltd | herro: no you would type the first command (with & at the end) then the command exit to close the terminal and it should be in the background independant of the terminal | 18:55 |
| tensorpudding | and surely not IE9 beta | 18:55 |
| Queops | Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console? (I'm on a server, second attempt) | 18:55 |
| ardian | hmm | 18:55 |
| tensorpudding | it saves you much trouble to just have a windows machien | 18:55 |
| herro | no but i want to stop the process | 18:56 |
| herro | its running right now | 18:56 |
| herro | i want to stop it without killing it so it can save the map chunks | 18:56 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U: I tried other wihtout luck, but your tool works mate | 18:56 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U: you rock.. | 18:56 |
| tensorpudding | herro: what are you talking about "stopping without killing" | 18:56 |
| tensorpudding | herro: you mean SIGTERM vs. SIGKILL? | 18:56 |
| herro | lets say i do kill appid and stop my server that way it wont save the chunks and ill lose part of my map | 18:57 |
| firewaterburnz | does anybody out there know if there is a way to have RutilIT Added to startup in such a way that it does not require the administrative password on bootup? | 18:57 |
| herro | so is their a way to stop it and let it save? | 18:57 |
| tensorpudding | if you send TERM, it should shut down normally. that's the default behavior of the kill command kill | 18:57 |
| birtan | hi! i create dictionary program and i want to add it to panel but how can i do that ? anybody knows that? | 18:57 |
| raulantonio | hello man! | 18:57 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U: the extra parameter you told me was "rootwait", but I guess the problem is that cannot find the /dev/sdb6 | 18:57 |
| aeon-ltd | herro: herro depends how the game saves, kill (or sigterm) should allow it to close properly without really(as in literally) 'killing' the process | 18:58 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U: so if we add this parameter, has no effect since that device is not available | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | birtan: make a launcher on the desktop, drag it to the panel, or add a menu item via alacarte and drag that to the panel | 18:58 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U: like that something went wrong with the installation, my friend | 18:58 |
| ardian | when I want to apt-get update | 18:58 |
| birtan | Dr_Willis : i mean textbox must show on panel | 18:58 |
| ardian | it says insert CD | 18:58 |
| tensorpudding | kill -9 sends SIGKILL, which kills the program without cleanup | 18:58 |
| ardian | wtf never had this ? | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | birtan: sounds like you may need to make a custome panel applet then | 18:59 |
| tensorpudding | ardian: sounds like you have a CD in your software sources | 18:59 |
| birtan | Dr_Willis: yep how can i do that | 18:59 |
| vic20gmr | Jordan_U, yes, it shows the corresponding free space | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | birtan: no idea - i dont code. | 18:59 |
| ardian | tensorpudding, no It says that if I want to update I have to put the Ubuntu 10.10 CD | 18:59 |
| Queops | Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console? (I'm on a server, third attempt at asking, any help WOULD help T_T) | 18:59 |
| herro | ive also realized each time i get on vps with my putty and exit and come back the ssh process will stay their | 18:59 |
| firewaterburnz | does anybody out there know if there is a way to have RutilIT Added to startup in such a way that it does not require the administrative password on bootup? | 19:00 |

| damnedyankee | Hello. I have a strange problem: My computer can apparently see my sound card, but I have no sound. This is in Maverick. | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: i woukd have to suggest googling for some benchmarks/security testing reports on both.. | 19:04 |
| Queops | Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console? | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: may as well check for reviews/tests for chrome browser and opera while you are at it. :) | 19:05 |
| magicianlord | Dr_Willis: the reviews are inconclusive. | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: im not suprised at that | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: i would think FF on linux is more secure then IE on Windows. :) due to the Underlaying OS. :P | 19:07 |
| Queops | magicianlord: It's as safe as your navigation habits, security on the system etc. Also use FF and if you can Chrome /this last brings some extra security | 19:08 |
| Queops | Also both FF and Chrome allow addons to strengthen your security | 19:08 |
| magicianlord | yeah | 19:08 |
| magicianlord | it's tough, because banking and other business sites rely on ie | 19:08 |
| Queops | That sucks I admit | 19:08 |
| Queops | though I never had problem lately, things are changing | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Only sites ive seen that 'need ie' lately were badly coded sites.. | 19:09 |
| Queops | Hehe. | 19:09 |
| magicianlord | yes | 19:09 |
| herro | i just entered ps aux | less how do i get out of their? | 19:09 |
| vic20gmr | Jordan_U, i was able to copy the file to drive | 19:09 |
| spr0k3t | personal opinion, if the site needs IE to function, I just won't use it. | 19:09 |

| herro | thanks | 19:10 |
| OerHeks | Queops, choose an other mirror in Softwaresources ? | 19:10 |
| Queops | herro: when in doubt also exit the process with ctrl + < | 19:10 |
| Queops | + z* | 19:10 |
| Queops | OerHeks: how can I do that from the console | 19:10 |
| spr0k3t | OerHeks: he's prolly doing it all in tty, thus needs console | 19:11 |
| Queops | Yeh server mode here. | 19:11 |
| Queops | :( | 19:11 |
| Jordan_U | vic20gmr: Then you can try using grub2 to boot from the iso instead of Startup Disk Creator. | 19:11 |
| Kurogane | Anyone can help me to install freenx i got this error and when i say 'yes' nothing happen http://www.pastebin.ca/1998116 | 19:11 |

| velociostrich | I'm trying to do some USB sniffing on a device, and the kernel documentation (found here: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.35/Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt) says to mount "none_debugs" on /sys/kernel/debug, but mount tells me that "none" is already mounted there. What is "none" as compared to "none_debugs" and do I have to unmount none so I can mount the latter or what? | 19:18 |
| Jordan_U | vic20gmr: Yes, it does. | 19:19 |
| vic20gmr | Jordan_U, howso? | 19:20 |
| Chr|s | does ccsm for ubuntu have the option "corners" | 19:20 |
| vic20gmr | Jordan_U, just before you said it does matter, i figured id put the cd i used to install 10.04 to begin with in, and tr it | 19:21 |
| Jordan_U | vic20gmr: If it's 10.10 Desktop that makes it easier because 10.10 has a loopback.cfg: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg . If it's an Alternate install iso then you'll have problems with any version number of Ubuntu. | 19:22 |
| vic20gmr | with it and the 2gb flash selected the "make startup disk" button is "lit", what is the oldest i can use this way? | 19:22 |
| vic20gmr | also could i use this methon on a ppc version of ubuntu? | 19:22 |
| Queops | Oh right, is there any package to adjust grub settings on server 10.10? | 19:23 |
| vic20gmr | Jordan_U, its neither alt, ot 10.04 its simply an older version of desktop | 19:23 |

| rkpisanu | nsd, you are welcome | 19:45 |
| jianfei | ZykoticK9: Hmmm..I basically just wanna mount it and install it but have no media just the iso.. | 19:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | jianfei, i think you'd need the Grub method - not 100% sure though. | 19:45 |
| Jordan_U | jianfei: It depends on what the iso is exactly. Only some isos can be loop booted, they need to be designed specifically for the purpose. | 19:46 |
| rkpisanu | jianfei, see virtualbox | 19:46 |

| jianfei | Jordan_U: What is loop booting? | 19:47 |
| yxz97 | brb | 19:47 |
| syn-ack | jianfei, Booting an iso that's not on a CD or or similar medium | 19:47 |
| syn-ack | you have to mount it on the loopback device to do so | 19:47 |
| Jordan_U | jianfei: Booting an OS where the OS reads its root filesystem from a file on a filesystem rather than directly from the CD/USB. | 19:48 |
| magicjoe | ANYONE: know anything abut Wubi? | 19:48 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | magicjoe | 19:48 |
| ubottu | magicjoe: 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? | 19:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | syn-ack, (love the Nic) can you "Boot" from a loop mounted ISO though (other then using Grub?) | 19:48 |
| magicjoe | sorry | 19:48 |
| rkpisanu | !wubi | magicjoe | 19:48 |
| ubottu | magicjoe: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 19:48 |
| syn-ack | ZykoticK9, yes. IIRC, you need GRUB2 to do so | 19:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | magicjoe, Wubi is a good test "if you'd like ubuntu or not", not so good for a "real" install however. | 19:49 |
| magicjoe | ok, sorry, let me clarify. I have a wubi installation on an xp maching. everything was working fine, until, i just now did an update. it froze up in the middle of that. so i had to manually restart the computer. when i try to boot up now, i only have windows in grub | 19:50 |
| magicjoe | any way to get that back? | 19:50 |
| Jinxed- | is it tracepath or pathtrace ? | 19:50 |
| syn-ack | tracepath | 19:51 |
| mgouin | Jinxed: on my machine (10.04), it's called tracepath. For example: tracepath www.google.ca | 19:51 |
| syn-ack | Jinxed-, and if you want the IPv6 version, it's tracepath6 | 19:51 |
| syn-ack | Jinxed-, Not trying to sound like an ass, but that's what tab complete is for... | 19:52 |
| magicjoe | basically i have a folder in xp called ubuntu, and it has large files that are my ubuntu installation, but there is a folder called boot, which has a folder called grub, which is now empty. can i rebuild a "grub" file in windows through notepad, that will bring this partition back alive? | 19:52 |
| mgouin | Hi guys, I want to disable the trackstick on my laptop and only keep the touchpad. I found the xinput command to do so (xinput --set-prop 10 117 0). Where do I put this in a startup script to make it permanent? | 19:52 |
| esd | is it any way for linux people to screencast to ustream/livestream/etc? | 19:53 |
| magicjoe | or basically , i screwed the pooch? | 19:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | esd, i know Jono Bacon uses Windows for his Ustream broadcasts. | 19:53 |
| esd | ZykoticK9: well how about linux? :) | 19:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | esd, seeing as Jono is the Ubuntu community manager i don't think you can use Ustream (not sure about livestream). Good luck man. | 19:54 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: You should be able to just add this to your boot.ini (add a new line to the end of the file): c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" | 19:54 |
| syn-ack | esd, I would think that that comment made it fairly evident that there probably is none. | 19:54 |
| rfmonk | esd have you read this yet? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts | 19:54 |
| HaoRen | magicjoe: how about login back to windows and reinstall wubi? | 19:54 |
| esd | rfmonk: did not, will do | 19:55 |
| esd | i used to stream to my icecast server | 19:55 |
| esd | but icecast update fucked up everydthing | 19:55 |
| esd | and im having trouble fixing that so looking for alternate solutions atm | 19:55 |

| magicjoe | HaoRen: I am logged into windows now, but if i reinstall wubi, i will lose all my settings. i have compiz with cube and stuff | 19:56 |

| rfmonk | there is really nothing impossible on linux, just varying degrees of hair pulling | 19:56 |
| rfmonk | and time | 19:56 |
| syn-ack | rfmonk, um, I've run into a few things that really are unpossible in linux | 19:56 |
| magicjoe | HaoRen: what if i back up all the .disk files, to my exHD, then reinstall wubi, and replace the .disk files with the old ones? maybe safer? | 19:56 |
| rfmonk | like? | 19:56 |
| rfmonk | quickbooks | 19:56 |
| syn-ack | Very few, but there are some out there. | 19:56 |
| rfmonk | =] | 19:56 |
| rfmonk | like? | 19:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | syn-ack, "me fail english, but that's unpossible" ;) | 19:57 |
| syn-ack | ;) | 19:57 |
| syn-ack | Well, Quickbooks is actually a decent example | 19:57 |
| jianfei | How do I use my iPad Internet via Bluetooth for my laptop running 10.10? | 19:57 |
| HaoRen | idk, lol sorry but i just use wubi once before.. never got that kind of experience | 19:57 |
| syn-ack | And really, trying to get that thing running in WiNe is damned near impossible. | 19:57 |
| rfmonk | yes, its very hard to replicate that | 19:57 |
| rfmonk | i beat my head against that many times | 19:58 |
| rfmonk | but you can just run QB in a VM | 19:58 |
| Jibadeeha | anyone here use/recommend dropbox for ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| rfmonk | or use it with crossover office | 19:58 |
| rfmonk | wine | 19:58 |
| syn-ack | rfmonk, you know as well as I do, that while some Windows apps can be coaxed into running in WiNE it really is better to VM;.... NM | 19:58 |
| rfmonk | depending on the amount of memory and the program, but yes | 19:59 |
| magicjoe | HaoRen: do you think that idea would work? | 20:00 |
| syn-ack | My POV is this really: If you want to run Windows software, run Windows. Solves a lot of headaches. | 20:00 |
| syn-ack | Again, that's just me. | 20:00 |
| HaoRen | magicjoe: i don't know | 20:00 |

| rythbuntu | <erUSUL>but 10.04 worked well | 20:07 |
| magicjoe | well, im going to try backing up the files in the folder created by wubi, reinstalling wubi, then replacing the default files with my old ones, and see if that revives it. but first going to try this created .ini file in the boot/grub folder and rebooting. maybe that will fix it, if none of these work, im starting from scratch | 20:07 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: To edit the boot.ini, 1: Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2: On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | rythbuntu: they may have changed the defaults ... | 20:07 |

| magicjoe | Jordan_U: I created a blank file, with that line in it, and put it into the boot/grub folder in the dir created by the wubi installer. hoping that will solve on reboot | 20:10 |
| grzegorz_ | Ktoś z polski ? | 20:10 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: called it boot.ini, and added the line you told me to put in. | 20:10 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: boot.ini is a windows configuration file, it's not contained in boot/grub or any wubi specific directory. It's in the root of the partition (but it's hidden and read only by default, so follow the instructions I gave to open it). | 20:10 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i did that and the line was already there. | 20:11 |
| rythbuntu | <erUSUL>then how to make it work? | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | rythbuntu: can you copy it to your honme partition ? | 20:12 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: I guess what i need then is what do i need to put into the boot/grub folder under the wubi directory to get the ubuntu option back when i boot up? | 20:12 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: thats why im backing up the .disk files with all my settings and whatnot, then will reinstall wubi and replace the default .disk files with my old ones. | 20:13 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Odd. Can you take a picture of the menu(s) you see at boot? | 20:13 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: sigh. no. it happened because i was updating, and it froze | 20:13 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: No to what? You can't take a picture of the menus you see at boot? | 20:14 |

| chris_99 | edbian, at the moment it seems to have stopped, but it has been doing it all this passed week | 20:41 |
| pablo_ | o | 20:41 |
| Arteymis | edbian:mkay thanks for info :I | 20:41 |
| chris_99 | (and i have restarted many times over the week) | 20:41 |
| Quantum_Ion | most games are written in C++ so the deal directly with the computers CPU | 20:41 |
| Sheepherd | Jordan_U, we're @ubuntu so i thought bashing window$ is tolerated ^^ but wont happen again. | 20:41 |
| Quantum_Ion | you can use an SDK like Qt for videogame programming | 20:41 |
| Arteymis | Cuda technology is amazing. | 20:41 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i don't know what to do next? nothing happened on that command, the cursor went to another line, and blinks....nothing going on. | 20:41 |
| edbian | chris_99, Figure out if you can trigger it yourself. Then you can make a bug post on launch-pad. The trickiest part of bugs sometimes is figuring out what use case actually cased them. | 20:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | Java based games tend to be a little slower | 20:42 |
| Artemis3 | Sheepherd, this is technically ubuntu support only... | 20:42 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Does pressing ctrl+D do anything? | 20:42 |
| chris_99 | yeah, i'll try and work out what triggers it, cheers for your help edbian | 20:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | For example you wouldnt see Call of Duty written in Java most likely it is written in C++ | 20:42 |
| edbian | chris_99, good luck | 20:42 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: hd starts spinning again | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: do you have an Ubuntu question? | 20:43 |
| maxylopes | Hey | 20:43 |
| vbuser2 | java is not used to write games !! | 20:43 |
| maxylopes | how to make top bar fully transparent? | 20:43 |
| Arteymis | Quantum_Ion: There's surely a channel for developpers.. | 20:43 |
| Sheepherd | Artemis3, hehe okay. thx for support anyways. highly appreciated =) | 20:43 |
| Artemis3 | maxylopes, right click, properties | 20:43 |
| Arteymis | Nps | 20:43 |
| Quantum_Ion | Artemis3, Sure there is of course there is | 20:43 |
| Arteymis | nvm | 20:43 |
| Rick_Deckard | how can i search in directories and subdirectories via the terminal? | 20:43 |
| Arteymis | :P | 20:44 |
| Ed_Money | how can I combine all files in a directory in one file?:q | 20:44 |
| maxylopes | ye i know it but buttons APPS PLACES SYSTEM are not transparent :( | 20:44 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: and nothing..... | 20:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | Rick_Deckard, use the find command | 20:44 |
| Arteymis | Ed_Money: Compress in Tar | 20:44 |
| maxylopes | maybe i should install something so they would be transparent? | 20:44 |
| Arteymis | Ed_Money: It's not a real compression | 20:44 |
| edbian | Rick_Deckard, using the find command | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: No idea. The output of "dmesg" (in another terminal) would be usefull, but it's too much to type out manually. Can you connect to the internet or transfer the output via flash drive to a computer that can? | 20:44 |
| edbian | find -i "filename" I believe. Read the man pages for more details | 20:44 |
| Artemis3 | find (path) -name filename | 20:45 |
| amarcolino | testing proftpd using filezilla using tls for some reason it connects but outputs 'Connection timed out' than 'Failed to retrieve directory listing', need to find out why, what ports other than 21 do I have to open because if I disable ufw I am able to connect | 20:45 |
| C1iFF | what is a 'matching output script table'? How can I fix/create it? (running maverick on 64bit) | 20:45 |
| greenmtnvm | find "directory to search" -name "filename" -print | 20:45 |
| Quantum_Ion | Rick_Deckard, For example to find all your porno mpgs on your system you would type this ----> find / -name *.mpg | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | find -iname "name*" the "s deal with spaces in filenames, iname makes the name case insensitive | 20:46 |
| greenmtnvm | Quantum_Ion: LOL, perfect example! | 20:46 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: many many lines of "failed to read" | 20:46 |
| Quantum_Ion | greenmtnvm, Thanks ! | 20:46 |
| maxylopes | Why not the whole TOP bar is transparent? | 20:46 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: it connects to the internet | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | greenmtnvm: Quantum_Ion: use "*.mpg" instead of *.mpg as it deals with spaces in filenames | 20:47 |
| Arteymis | maxylopes: Compiz can make the taskbar transparent if it's what you are talking about | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebin | magicjoe | 20:47 |
| ubottu | magicjoe: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 20:47 |
| maxylopes | which settings? | 20:47 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Okay noted | 20:47 |
| katsuodo | have a question about seeing logins after activating command finger. i see the login name but no tty value, or login time? | 20:48 |
| Arteymis | maxylopes: Not sure, I'm not using Compiz, but my friend does | 20:48 |
| Arteymis | maxylopes: I suppose it's an additional plug-in | 20:48 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: im confused? pastebin? | 20:48 |
| maxylopes | I am searching for it but cant find :( | 20:48 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: oh the first command finally finished, and its says unknown filesystem type ext4 | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: You're liveCD is too old then. | 20:49 |
| magicjoe | will any live CD work, if its ext4? | 20:49 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, This command seems to work fast find / -name "*.mpg" | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: its because you searched before ;) | 20:49 |
| maxylopes | ok thanks will be searching good night :) | 20:50 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U:i have penguin sleuth, and i have a live cd created with remastersys | 20:50 |
| lazarus_ | how would i cange the default layout of the panels in ubuntu so they are reversed so bottom panel is now top and top is bottom | 20:50 |
| lazarus_ | <AcidBurn> if i remember right you can right click on a empty spot in the panel and drag it or there is a option when you right click to customize the panels | 20:50 |
| lazarus_ | <lazarus_> is there a way of doing that using a command in the terminal? gconftool-2 --set /apps/panel/general/toplevel_id_list --type list --list-type string "[top_panel_screen0]" somthing along the lines of that just because im trying to create an auto config/install tool | 20:50 |
| FloodBot4 | lazarus_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: How old are they? | 20:51 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: sleuth is old, but the live cd i created from an existing installation is pretty new, its karmic not lucid | 20:51 |
| airtonix | lazarus_, if using the gconf cli tool is too hard then preseed the /etc/skel folder with the desired ~/.gconf setup | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | lazarus_: you can move the panels to the side while you swap them around | 20:52 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Karmic should have ext4 support. | 20:52 |
| ^Mike | When I type 'cd ~/.mozi<TAB>' in the terminal, it expands the tilde, even though I have 'set expand-tilde off' in .inputrc - am I misunderstanding what that setting does? Should I be doing something else to have it leave the tilde as-is? | 20:53 |
| herro | how can i see how much bandwith im using on my vps? | 20:53 |
| guest6745 | hey guys! I'd like to have an FTP server set up for ~30 secs. Shouldn't take longer than that to get it running. Any pointers? | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | herro: ntop should do it | 20:53 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: booting up the live cd created from existing karmic installation | 20:54 |
| herro | says cmd not found | 20:54 |
| airtonix | ActionParsnip, lol ntop is overkill and eats cpu cycles for breakfast | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | guest6745: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-an-FTP-Server-in-Ubuntu-Linux | 20:54 |
| annihilator | is there a straight lxde version of ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | airtonix: its only a quick glimpse, could use: ntop -n 1 ;) | 20:55 |
| guest6745 | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link. I see I should have been more specific. I don't need a full-fledged FTP server to run 24/7. It's just for 30 secs to get some files from A to B | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: lubuntu | 20:55 |
| herro | how can i see how much bandwith im using on my vps? | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | guest6745: if you use ssh then you can mount sshfs | 20:55 |
| amarcolino | testing proftpd using filezilla using tls for some reason it connects but outputs 'Connection timed out' than 'Failed to retrieve directory listing', need to find out why, what ports other than 21 do I have to open because if I disable ufw I am able to connect | 20:55 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: oh man.....my monitor is saying cannot display video | 20:56 |
| Quantum_Ion | The coolest part about Linux is that all your *.flv files get downloaded to /tmp directory and you can save them by renaming the file before the flv file completely downloads in the browser | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | amarcolino: then configure ufw to allow connections on port 21 | 20:56 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U:maybe reboot and see if the cd has an option to boot to command line? | 20:56 |
| guest6745 | ActionParsnip: I know. I also know the 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer' 1-second hack to pulling files. That's not suitable for pushing though | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Quantum_Ion: or just use youtube-dl | 20:56 |
| * annihilator loves ubuntu and ubuntu based releases | 20:56 | |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: they arent bad :) | 20:57 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: oh nope, sorry. patience is a virtue, looks like up | 20:57 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, youtube-dl doesnt work for porno flvs | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: you can install the minimal and then install lxde and get a really slim ubuntu release | 20:57 |
| annihilator | ActionParsnip: they are better for both servers and "gaming" | 20:57 |
| amarcolino | ActionParsnip: I have doesn't that already both 20 and 21 however the program still can't retrieve the directory listing | 20:57 |
| annihilator | ActionParsnip: i am not looking for a slim install | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: i dunno, my gentoo box wine runs better than my ubuntu one does | 20:58 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: it ended up going to a command prompt, and i ran startx to get into the gui | 20:58 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, For example if I watch a porno flv in my browser I cd /tmp and change the name of the Flash file to Sample.flv and use vlc to watch the video later | 20:58 |
| lexvegas | random question, but does anyone know if ASCII is said A S C TWO or A S C EYE EYE | 20:58 |
| annihilator | well i dont game on wine | 20:58 |
| superkop | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/802478/grub-hell.png -- today's fail topic? If you choose "no" you'll get the same prompt over and over, until you choose "yes". | 20:58 |
| annihilator | i am talking about the 500 linux based games | 20:58 |
| StevenR | lexvegas: ASS KEY | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | lexvegas: i say: ask-i | 20:58 |
| superkop | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/802478/grub-hell.png -- today's fail topic? If you choose "no" you'll get the same prompt over and over, until you choose "yes". This after running aptitude safe-upgrade to install the grub updates. | 20:59 |
| sresu | Which command can be used to put the system to sleep(suspend to RAM) after 42 minutes? | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | lexvegas: the II is not 2 it's the letter I twice as it's an acronym | 20:59 |
| Quantum_Ion | you can use ffmpeg to convert the porno flv to an mpeg or avi file too which is really cook | 20:59 |
| sresu | lexvegas: ass-kee | 20:59 |
| === marc is now known as Guest47489 | ||
| lexvegas | thanks! | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: sleep 2520; pm-suspand assuming pm-suspend is the suspend command | 21:00 |
| === Guest47489 is now known as Jumbal_de | ||
| hoangle | look | 21:00 |
| hoangle | #look | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: or you can use the at daemon (you wont have to keep the terminal open if you do) | 21:00 |
| Quantum_Ion | sometimes I used youtube-dl to download youtube videos and make mp3's out of the flv you can use ffmpeg to convert the file into a wav file and then use lame to compress it to an mp3 | 21:00 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: How did you get the figure 2250? | 21:00 |
| sresu | 2520* | 21:00 |
| superkop | Why did I bother with this insane channel... | 21:00 |
| Quantum_Ion | an mp3 is just a compressed wav file | 21:01 |
| timo | 7lc | 21:01 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: desktop is loading......slowly. but i see the background, status bars are coming soon, i hope | 21:01 |
| Quantum_Ion | ffmpeg is still really very experimental | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: 60 * 42 | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: 60 seconds * 42 minutes = 2520... | 21:02 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: Yeah, I read the man of sleep. | 21:02 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: I'll be back in about 10 minutes. | 21:02 |
| cemc | where can I disable the password query when coming back from suspend? | 21:02 |
| Quantum_Ion | ActionParsnip, Do you use lame to make mp3's | 21:02 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: ok, my desktop should be up by then. status bars are showing up, icons not loaded yet. | 21:03 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: Moreover, what was your other suggestion related to daemon? | 21:03 |
| Quantum_Ion | vlc is the greatest media player of all time | 21:03 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i really appreciate your help. | 21:03 |
| Veliouras_ | hello | 21:04 |
| MrAnthrope | Could someone steer me in the right direction... I'm looking to build a new computer and I'm wondering what graphics card works best for gaming in Ubuntu. | 21:04 |
| magicianlord | in 11.04, will gnome still be included to fall back on, if there is no 3d acceleration driver installed | 21:04 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | Veliouras_: Hi | 21:04 |
| Veliouras_ | i'd like to connect a creative zen x-fi player in ubuntu 10 | 21:04 |
| cemc | got it, nvr mind | 21:04 |
| Quantum_Ion | Do you remember back in the days when they had xmms to play mp3's on Linux now audacious is pretty close to what xmms used to be | 21:04 |
| fermulator | what's happened to gnome in 11.04? | 21:04 |
| Veliouras_ | it looks connected but i can not play or trasfer music | 21:04 |
| Quantum_Ion | apt-get install audacious try that | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: you can use: at nox + 42 minutes | 21:04 |
| === kaosgrl is now known as kaosgrrl | ||
| ActionParsnip | sresu: then type the command at the next prompt, press CTRL+D to exit | 21:05 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | Veliouras_: Are you using it as an storage device? | 21:05 |
| Veliouras_ | _16BitSubsystem_ no i am using it as a player | 21:06 |
| Quantum_Ion | apt-get install audacious looks kinda like xmms from back in the days on RedHat Linux | 21:06 |
| yellabs | hello there | 21:07 |
| yellabs | whats the command ( shell ) to run an program on top ( x ) ? | 21:07 |
| yellabs | or in front ... | 21:07 |
| Quantum_Ion | Only one problem I cannot capture Hulu.com videos using that method | 21:07 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 21:07 |
| Quantum_Ion | I think hulu.com encodes or hides their flvs | 21:08 |
| n0a1ias | is there a stumble upon download for chromium? | 21:08 |
| werthy | éj ubuntu-fr | 21:08 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: How do you see Hulu.com videos? | 21:08 |
| werthy | salut a tous | 21:08 |

| wolfric | is cupsd only for printing as in ink and paper printing? If i don't plan to ever use it can i just disable it? | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: at is very handy | 21:09 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: I mean which browser | 21:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, I mean Hulu.com their flv files dont get downloaded to the /tmp directory on Ubuntu Linux not sure where they go | 21:09 |
| rww | wolfric: yes | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | n0a1ias: you can install chromium-browser from the official repos | 21:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, In Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox | 21:09 |
| === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse | ||
| Quantum_Ion | hulu.com might not even use Flash but I think they do | 21:10 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: If you use mozilla, then it goes to .mozilla>firefox>xxxyyzz.default>Cache | 21:10 |
| n0a1ias | ActionParsnip, i was wondering if chromium has a stumble upon tolldar download | 21:10 |
| absolutex3 | hulu uses flash @Q | 21:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, Ohh snap it goes into the browser cache damn it | 21:10 |
| werthy | avec le nouveau ubuntu 10.10 mon bluetooth ne ne met plus en marche automatiquement au départ d'ubuntu quelqu'un a une idée pour regler cela? | 21:10 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: I'm not very sure how to use at | 21:11 |
| werthy | sorry wrong chan | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | n0a1ias: i dont know what that is, why not just use the repos like you have with every other app you install / update/ | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: then use the internet to find out | 21:11 |
| n0a1ias | thanks ActionParsnip | 21:11 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, let me try loading a hulu.com video and see if I can capture it as an flv file | 21:11 |
| Winkie | hey guys, i've been having a consistent video playback problem since installing 10.10, videos will pause for a small time, then play intermittently fast and slow for about 45 seconds, then resume as normal | 21:12 |
| === edi is now known as Guest99532 | ||
| Winkie | sound is rarely affected, compiz doesn't seem to be effected, and all video players and flash are affected | 21:12 |
| Winkie | it's a little strange | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Winkie: i'd test your RAM | 21:12 |
| littlejoey_z | wow that is interesting Winkie | 21:13 |
| luka | test | 21:13 |
| Winkie | ActionParsnip: strange how it would just affect videos though | 21:13 |
| === Guest99532 is now known as HS | ||
| Winkie | i'll do it next reboot though | 21:13 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: u back yet? | 21:13 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: I meant that I'm not sure whether its part of cron comands like crontab, at, batch, csh, ksh etc ... | 21:13 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, website advertising me is killing me nowadays | 21:14 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, that hulu.com video didnt load into Mozilla Cache | 21:14 |
| littlejoey_z | Quantum_Ion: really? even on linux you get annoying advertisings? I meant what's the word? adwares? spywares? | 21:15 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: Were you talking about cron daemon? I cannot remember it properly | 21:15 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: Try to test that while seeing any YouTube videos. It will come as a video file which you can sort by details, date | 21:15 |
| Quantum_Ion | littlejoey_z, you know the advertising before you watch some youtube and hulu.com videos is annoying | 21:16 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: are you back? | 21:16 |
| littlejoey_z | oh yeah those ones | 21:16 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, okay I will give it a shot | 21:16 |
| === jose__ is now known as yxz97 | ||
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, Hey, I'm on my new ubuntu | 21:17 |
| wendico | quantum_ion, littlejoey_z, have you tried toguether the following addons in firefox: Adblock Plus, Flashblock and NoScript. Ad killing combo! | 21:17 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: There are many things in cache that bulids up that needed to sorted, I usually try Details, Date and at times size since it would be manximum amongst other file size | 21:17 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, but the screen has rows.. | 21:17 |
| yxz97 | jaja | 21:17 |
| LoganJRuff | wendico, That kills the ads before some youtube/hulu videos? | 21:17 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, I think I will just use youtube-dl file to capture youtube videos | 21:18 |
| littlejoey_z | wendico: I don't need that for now, but as LoganJRuff mentionned, it doesn't kill the ads before the youtube and hulu videos | 21:18 |
| Queops | Does anyone have a comprehensive and SIMPLE guide for setting up a samba server which help Windows computers store files? | 21:19 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: If you closely sobsere, it really goes there and can be easily saved from the cache | 21:19 |
| Queops | Not the official guide, i dont get anything out of it | 21:19 |
| sresu | Queops: #ubuntu-server | 21:19 |
| Queops | Cheers | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: i believe there is an at daemon too, you can use cron for repeat commands | 21:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sresu: you can use gnome-schedule to configure cron if you have an x server and find the syntax too taxing | 21:20 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, I noticed on linux most flv files get downloaded to /tmp directory but you have to move fast to rename the file because it gets deleted automatically as soon as it fully downloads | 21:20 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, done, ! | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: you can also add resolutions to your /etc/hosts file to kill them good | 21:21 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: It clears only after closing the browser | 21:21 |
| yxz97 | I got the windows that says about the propietary drivers, stuff, I select the card and donw | 21:21 |
| sresu | ActionParsnip: Yes, I'm finding at better now. Thanks | 21:21 |
| yxz97 | s/donw/done | 21:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, your method doesnt work for me | 21:21 |
| sresu | Quantum_Ion: I' sorry | 21:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | sresu, and I use Google Chrome most of the time anyway | 21:21 |
| sresu | Oh | 21:22 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, also the video card worked with ubuntu at first login, no problem with that so lucky, because in jaunty this was a real pain in the balls! | 21:22 |
| yxz97 | good | 21:22 |
| annihilator | wine vs cedga | 21:22 |

| rodrigo | annihilator whats the better? | 21:22 |
| wendico | ohh, i did not watch any youtube or hulu.com videos, hulu.con not available in my region and youtube videos for what? i just like watching movies and series | 21:23 |
| yxz97 | okis doky | 21:23 |
| annihilator | ActionParsnip: i know but my problem is i dunno which would be better | 21:23 |
| littlejoey_z | cedga, I only knew about wine | 21:23 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: are you back yet? please, i need help | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: rodrigo: both have advantages and disadvantages, neither is outright better | 21:23 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, where are you ? | 21:23 |
| annihilator | cause both have issues on ubuntu 10.04 | 21:23 |
| ActionParsnip | littlejoey_z: theres also crossover office, also paid for and closed source | 21:23 |
| LoganJRuff | annihilator, Wine is probably your best bet for right now, considering that it's free. | 21:23 |
| annihilator | well i had a subscription to cedga | 21:24 |
| annihilator | it expired about 6 months ago | 21:24 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, THANK YOU | 21:24 |
| rodrigo | aninihilator, in games for windows , the games have a good performance? | 21:24 |

| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i have my live cd running, only at command prompt. mount command does not list my dev/hda5 partition anywhere | 21:25 |
| annihilator | and i was wondering if there was a way to use wine and cedga together to create a better team for games and windows programs | 21:25 |
| rodrigo | thanks | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: both apps have appdbs for compatibility, some apps run better in different apps | 21:25 |

| ActionParsnip | magicjoe: wubi is a pain to fix if it goes bad as its installed to an image, you will need to mount the NTFS writable, then mount the image writable, chroot to the image and you can fix from there | 21:27 |

| ldlework | Gnea, I read that already and it doesn't say what to do if your cam doesn't show up | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | magicjoe: wubi is ok as a try before you buy but as a long term solution it stinks | 21:30 |
| Quantum_Ion | Nothing is really FREE | 21:30 |
| Gnea | ldlework: it says which ones are supported, is your cam in that list? | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rodrigo: penumbra, urban terror and Doom3 all run natively | 21:30 |
| night | i have problem with cam too | 21:30 |
| littlejoey_z | yeah magicjoe: you should consider a dual boot | 21:30 |
| Quantum_Ion | Ubuntu is paid for by Mark Shuttleworth and his partners | 21:30 |
| magicjoe | actionparsnip: well, when i run the mount command, the partition i need to mount is not listed | 21:30 |
| rodrigo | its a starter | 21:31 |

| Gnea | rodrigo: some people have the creative knack to do it, some people don't. | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | night: install and run cheese, do you see yourself? | 21:32 |
| greggles | I used gparted to see where the first, last and total sectors are but I'm not sure if or how that's related to the superblock | 21:32 |
| Quantum_Ion | apt-get install cheese | 21:32 |

| rodrigo | to use the kinect in the ubuntu, whats the funcionality? | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | magicjoe: thats ALL i know, i dont use and hate the idea of wubi | 21:33 |
| Gnea | !anybody | trumee | 21:33 |
| ubottu | trumee: 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? | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | night: did you try cheese? | 21:33 |
| littlejoey_z | hmm magicjoe, I will try to help you | 21:34 |
| night | i try it | 21:34 |
| trumee | My asterisk on LTS doesnt start at all. | 21:34 |
| littlejoey_z | can you say your problem again? | 21:34 |
| lazarus_ | how come i cant cd /tmp? | 21:34 |
| annihilator | lxde is gnome based with a kde 3 style look? | 21:34 |
| night | but my cam is not running why | 21:34 |
| trumee | asterisk -vvvvvv -d simply comes back to the console without any error message. | 21:34 |
| Gnea | trumee: did you configure it? | 21:34 |
| magicjoe | littlejoey_z: THANK YOU....i will do my best to follow instructions....i catch on quick, not a total noob. | 21:34 |
| littlejoey_z | night: do you have the driver installed? | 21:34 |
| trumee | Gnea: what do you mean configure it? | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: lxde is based on gtk but has its own style | 21:34 |
| night | how i check for that | 21:35 |
| Gnea | trumee: surely you don't expect it to run the way you want it to right out of the box | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: how do you get a "kde look' | 21:35 |
| littlejoey_z | magicjoe: ok, so what is the problem? | 21:35 |
| trumee | Gnea: i simply fired asterisk -vvvvvv. it should run. | 21:35 |
| magicjoe | littlejoey_z: the box with the broken wubi is running a live cd now, command prompt, as root.... | 21:35 |
| trumee | Gnea: well my impression is that it usually runs out of the box. | 21:35 |
| mikethenewbe | Can anyone help me with an LVM issue? All PV's are found by pvscan, but I can't run vgcfgrestore because it says PVs are marked as missing. please help! | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | night: open software centre and install cheese, then run it from the applications menu | 21:35 |
| annihilator | lxde reminds me of kde 3 that is why i said that | 21:35 |
| annihilator | but has gnome programs | 21:35 |
| Gnea | trumee: are you on 10.04 or 10.10? | 21:36 |
| annihilator | that is why i asked | 21:36 |
| night | it already there | 21:36 |
| trumee | Gnea: 10.10 | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | night: ok, does it show you> | 21:36 |
| night | no | 21:36 |
| magicjoe | littlejoey_z: the problem is, it was fine, until i ran updates, then it froze. so i had to hard restart the machine....now when i boot i see the option of win xp and ubuntu. if i click ubuntu, the linux option is gone. | 21:36 |
| ldlework | Gnea, I'm having a hard time figuring out what my integrated webcam is exactly. | 21:36 |
| littlejoey_z | magicjoe: ok, and what happens? I have never used a livecd with wubi before but I'll try to help out | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: what? just because it only has a bar at the bottom? | 21:36 |
| ldlework | All the specs for my laptop just say "Integrated Webcam" | 21:36 |
| night | why | 21:36 |
| Gnea | trumee: oh, you picked the likely-broken version. well, the 10.04 instructions MIGHT work for it... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu | 21:36 |
| magicjoe | littlejoey_z:no the live cd is there to try to fix this | 21:36 |
| ldlework | Gnea, and like I said it doesn't show up in lsusb | 21:36 |
| guntbert | !who | night | 21:36 |
| ubottu | night: 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 :) | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | night: can you type (you can tab complete) my nick at text aimed at me | 21:36 |
| Gnea | ldlework: do you have pastebinit installed? | 21:36 |
| littlejoey_z | magicjoe: ok | 21:36 |
| ldlework | Gnea, no what's that | 21:37 |
| littlejoey_z | magicjoe: so is it a grub2 problem? | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | night: see how the text to you is highlighted, thats not an accident | 21:37 |
| magicjoe | littlejoey_z: Jordan_U was helping me, and said get a live cd in there to fix it, but then he said would be back in ten minutes, and its been 30 | 21:37 |
| Gnea | !info pastebinit | 21:37 |

| ldlework | Gnea, for what | 21:37 |
| === Guest19671 is now known as chordate | ||
| Gnea | ldlework: you're unfamiliar with pastebin? | 21:37 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Sorry it took longer than I expected. I'm back now. | 21:37 |
| ldlework | I know what its for | 21:37 |
| magicjoe | littlejoey_z: i believe so. there is no grub listing for linux | 21:37 |
| littlejoey_z | ok good | 21:37 |
| ldlework | what do you want me to pastebin | 21:37 |
| night | its said there is no device but i have cam with my laptop | 21:37 |
| annihilator | ActionParsnip the whole feel of lxde imo is that of kde 3 not gnome as is xfce not just the menues but how it operates | 21:38 |
| magicjoe | JORDAN_U: no problem i understand....thank you you are back!!! | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | night: ok run: lsusb one line will identify the device, what is the line output for the camera? | 21:38 |
| Gnea | ldlework: output of: lspci, lsusb and lshw | 21:38 |
| night | how i check for that | 21:38 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i have the live cd up in command prompt, as root. the "mount" command does not list the partition with wubi | 21:38 |
| macabre | i have this strange issue - when i open a php file my browser downloads the file instead of opening it. i have lamp running with everything installed | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: its a billion times lighter, it also doesnt ship with bulky openoffice if you use stock ubuntu | 21:38 |
| littlejoey_z | macabre: which browser are you using? | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | night: type my name at the start of lines addressed to me, you can type: actio then press TAB and it will complete, the text you type to me will be highlighted | 21:39 |
| macabre | littlejoey_z: chrome and firefox | 21:39 |
| annihilator | .... | 21:39 |
| magicjoe | jordan_u: the blkid command shows the partition i want, but the mount command does not | 21:39 |
| annihilator | i despise socket errors | 21:39 |
| littlejoey_z | macabre: do you have the latest versions installed? | 21:40 |
| night | ActionParsnip, | 21:40 |
| ldlework | Gnea, http://bpaste.net/show/11400/ | 21:40 |
| annihilator | ActionParsnip: i like open office but i use kate mostly for my editing of files | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Run "mkdir /media/windows" then "mount /dev/sdXY /media/windows" (replacing "XY" with the proper values from blkid). | 21:40 |
| macabre | littlejoey_z: yes | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | night: better, ok in a terminal run: lsusb | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | annihilator: luuntu ships with gnumeric and abiword as they are smaller installed and on disk as well as lighter when ran | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | night: one line identifys the camera, what is that ONE line | 21:41 |
| annihilator | i forgot about abiword | 21:41 |
| annihilator | its been years since i used that program | 21:41 |
| littlejoey_z | macabre: did you read ubuntuforums? for instance this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=943570 | 21:41 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: DONE | 21:41 |
| annihilator | and if i am not mistaken abiword has a plugen that can be used to view ppt and xls | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | macabre: http://drupal.org/node/7789 | 21:42 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: now mount that? | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | night: what is the line identifying the cam? | 21:42 |
| mikethenewbe | Can anyone help me with an LVM issue? I can see all my PV's are found, but it won't let me run vgcfgrestore because it says 2 PV's are marked as missing. Please help! | 21:42 |
| ldlework | Gnea, its like its no where to be found | 21:43 |
| trumee | Gnea: damn this asterisk doesnt run at all. | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Now run "mkdir /media/wubi/" then "mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/". | 21:43 |
| trumee | Gnea: first time i have used Ubuntu. and got stuck :( | 21:43 |
| night | what you mean by line | 21:43 |
| trumee | Gnea: do you use asterisk? | 21:43 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: done | 21:44 |
| night | line of what | 21:44 |
| replicasex | sigh, i have a folder that I want put into an archive of some sort, preferably a .rar but I have no idea how to do it :\ | 21:44 |
| trumee | Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/535012/ | 21:44 |
| Gnea | trumee: no | 21:44 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Now run "mount --bind /proc/ /media/wubi/proc; mount --bind /dev/ /media/wubi/dev/; mount --bind /sys/ /media/wubi/sys/". | 21:45 |
| Gnea | trumee: AFAIK, asterisk never just "runs out of the box", you have to set it up correctly | 21:45 |
| night | night sinking here | 21:45 |
| replicasex | making a .rar should be simple, right? :\ | 21:45 |
| Gnea | trumee: I've tried, it's a challenge, gave up because we found a better solution at the time | 21:45 |
| Anniepoo | I'm on a dual boot XP pro/Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit system, following the latest updates I'm getting "Error: cannot find GRLDR in all drive. CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart" | 21:46 |

| guntbert | mikethenewbe: what should vgcfgrestore do? most I know about LVM I have from http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm | 21:46 |
| ldlework | trumee, you're looking for trixbox I think | 21:46 |
| macabre | yes my cache os clear and i even restarted apache | 21:46 |
| trumee | Gnea: do i need to compile by hand then? | 21:46 |
| ldlework | or something like that | 21:46 |

| klaypigeon | Grah, I just did a distro upgrade of wubi 10.04 to 10.10 and now I dont get to grub, I select ubuntu from the windows menu and it just reboots | 21:47 |
| macabre | this is on my local machine, not a webhost | 21:47 |
| Anniepoo | XP boots fine, it's just linux I can't | 21:47 |
| ldlework | trumee, it comes with a somewhat out of the box asterisk but is you say so | 21:47 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: error messages.....mount point media/wubi/proc does not exsist, same for /dev and /sys....with the same beginning | 21:47 |
| trumee | ldlework: i dont like trixbox. | 21:47 |
| === MrAnthrope is now known as Geo|Away | ||
| ActionParsnip | Anniepoo: boot to liveCD and reinstall Grub2 to the system | 21:47 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: need to create those mount points first? | 21:48 |
| Anniepoo | ok, I'll have to make a CD then, and once I'm there how do I do the install? | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | night: after you run: lsusb read the output, one line identifys the device, what is that line | 21:48 |
| mikethenewbe | guntbert: thanks! As far as I know, vgcfgrestore should re-generate full LVM stacks based on archived info. but I don't really know. | 21:48 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: how do i do that? | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Those directories should already exist. | 21:49 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: they exist, but the mount points don't exist on this live cd, its from another system | 21:49 |
| guntbert | mikethenewbe: I have never seen it , but have a look at that page - maybe it help solve your real problem | 21:49 |
| mikethenewbe | guntbert: thanks again | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: /dev /proc and /sys don't exist in the LiveCD environment? | 21:50 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: just need the command to add mount points for those directories, then the binds should work | 21:50 |
| klaypigeon | need help with wubi boot after upgrade plz | 21:51 |
| Gnea | trumee: did you make it to this doc? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu/Current | 21:51 |
| night | ok actionparnsip | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | night: if you run the command: lsusb in a terminal, you will get an output. One line will identify the camera. Once you get the output, copy the one line referencing the device and paste it here. The command spoken would be: ell-ess-you-ess-be | 21:51 |
| trumee | Gnea: yes | 21:51 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i mean "/media/wubi/proc" "/media/wibi/dev" and "/media/wubi/sys" do not exist on the live cd | 21:51 |

| Gnea | IdleOne: are you sure the system has a webcam installed? | 21:58 |
| Gnea | oops | 21:58 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: if you got the torrent from the ubuntu.com site it should be good.. if you got it from somewhere else then you might try using the ubuntu.com torrent | 21:58 |
| Gnea | ldlework: are you sure the system has a webcam installed? | 21:58 |

| klaypigeon | no takers? here is some additional data. Just upgrade distro 10.04>10.10 Normally when I would boot I would go to windows 7 boot loader, select ubuntu, then be directed to grub, which would boot ubuntu. Now, I select ubuntu from windows boot loader, it flashes something (maybe a partition list, too fast) and then reboots. Am I screwed? | 21:58 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: sorry. please help me get this right. i thought i typed in exactly what you told me to | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: seems ok, what wireless chip do you use? | 21:59 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i did mkdir /media/wubi | 21:59 |
| Cann | YOu mean the adapter? | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | datta: never heard of it dude | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Run "mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc; mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/; mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/". | 22:00 |
| izinucs | Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to *not* suspend/hybernate when the lid is closed on my laptop? I want to install the server addition and just have the laptop sitting closed in a corner someplace. | 22:00 |
| Cann | ActionParsnip: you mean the adapter? | 22:00 |
| yeats | izinucs: System -> Preferences -> Power Management | 22:00 |

| datta | ActionParsnip: all right | 22:01 |
| izinucs | yeats: that'd be great on a gui install.. server doesn't have a gui.. perhaps it doesn't have suspend/hybernate by default ?? | 22:01 |

| Eighteens | earthen, i've used handbrake, it works good for xvid to mp4 | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: ralink make a tonne of different chips dude, is it usb based? | 22:04 |
| Cann | But the chipset might have a diff name | 22:04 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Let's try mounting the root.disk again. Run "sudo umount /mnt/" then "mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/". | 22:04 |

| night | yes i have sony | 22:05 |
| Eighteens | yes | 22:05 |
| Cann | ActionParsnip: Yes it is | 22:05 |
| earthen | Eighteens, i'll try it thanks | 22:05 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: DONE | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: ok then run: lsusb one line will identify the chip, use the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 22:05 |
| Eighteens | earhen, no prob, i love that program, i use it to converte vids, to put on my phone | 22:06 |

| Gnea | trumee: awesome | 22:06 |
| jmad980 | !ask | NightDragon | 22:06 |
| ubottu | NightDragon: 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. :-) | 22:06 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i am unfamiliar with pastebin | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Night: thats all I know, if you keep digging with that Hex ID, you'll find other guides, or if you search for your make and model of laptop, you may find guides that way | 22:07 |
| earthen | Eighteens, I tried apt-get install handbrake but it cannot be found is there a repo i have to add or something | 22:07 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i ran the command....what exactly are we looking for? | 22:07 |

| Eighteens | earthen, brb | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: personally if a usb device didn't work I'd take it back to get one which works out of the box | 22:07 |
| sl33k_ | what is the shortcut to minimize all windows? | 22:08 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i don't follow? so i run the pastebin command? and what URL? | 22:08 |

| NightDragon | hello question... i would like to take ntop and redirect it to /dev/tty10, but i would like to daemonize it so i can lock the console and continue to have htop run on dev/tty10 | 22:10 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i can see the whole output of that command, i just cant upload it. what do you need to know? | 22:10 |
| izinucs | magicjoe: pastebinit is a cli based program to redirect output to the pastebin if you need it on cli.. like pastebinit <text file> | 22:11 |
| rufsketch1 | Hello everyone | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Gulfstream: try it in wine, its not in the appdb so you are in uncharted waters | 22:11 |
| izinucs | magicjoe: or <command> | pastebinit | 22:11 |
| sl33k_ | what is meant by xf86? | 22:11 |
| rufsketch1 | Is there anyway to force my monitor resolution to something not recognized automatically? Nvidia-settings is reccognizing some vey odd and very unsupported resolutions | 22:11 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: ok just did aptget on pastebinit | 22:12 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: use xrandr to add the resolution you need to the system.. | 22:12 |
| Gulfstream | Dreamcalc does not work in Wine.... | 22:12 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: so now you want mount | pastebinit? | 22:12 |

| vic20gmr | izinucs, how do i check the md5 hash? | 22:12 |
| izinucs | !md5 | vic20gmr | 22:13 |
| ubottu | vic20gmr: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:13 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: what commands would I feed into it exactly? II have a dual monitor setup, so it's not quite as straightforward as the guides I've been looking through | 22:13 |
| vic20gmr | ok | 22:13 |
| zetto | type md5 and file name | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rufsketch1: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings you can set the resolution to something in the gui app, then you can click "Save to X config file" you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the resolution there to force the resolution | 22:13 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: ok url is http://pastebin.com/Zx6Z24Jc | 22:13 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: what driver did you enable for your card? was it the one in system>Admin>hardware drivers or did you try to install the binary from nvidia? | 22:13 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: like that? | 22:13 |
| rufsketch1 | ActionParsnip: alright, I'll check that. just a seconds | 22:13 |
| vic20gmr | izinucs, how can i check the md5 in ubuntu? im in ubuntu | 22:13 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: I installed the binary driver from nvidia-common | 22:14 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: if you're using k3b as your burner it will show you the md5.. outside of that I've never done it. | 22:14 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: from the repos.. ok.. you using a crt or lcd? | 22:14 |
| vic20gmr | izinucs, im not burning the iso, im trying to make a bootable usb flash drive out of it | 22:14 |
| zetto | fine | 22:15 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: they're both lcds | 22:15 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: one of them is an lcd TV connected through hdmi | 22:15 |
| magicjoe | nooooooo! don't leave! | 22:15 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: I understand.. but still .. even if you're not burning. k3b will tell you what the hash is.. outside of that follow the link ubottu gave you.. | 22:15 |
| rufsketch1 | the other is a monitor using vga | 22:15 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: is one ok and the other not? | 22:15 |

| izinucs | rufsketch1: does it need 1366x <something) | 22:17 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: it detects some of the correct modes, but those are on the lower resolution end. And since the tv is bigger than the monitor, having a lower resolution on it makes a huge difference in window size from monitor to monitor | 22:17 |

That's a bit of googling though. | 22:24 |
| magicjoe | brb | 22:24 |

| magicjoe | Jordan_U: did i do the pastebin correctly? and does that help? | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Yes and yes. | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Run "umount /mnt/" then "mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/" then run "mount | pastebinit" and give the URL. | 22:28 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: sweet. sorry to be a nuisance. you really are a great soul for doing this. THANK you again. i really will send you money if you get this going for me. | 22:28 |

| ActionParsnip | Eighteens: no idea dude, ask the channel | 22:29 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Nevermind. I meant iced tea | 22:30 |
| LtHummus | I just installed lirc via apt-get and configured my reciever, but I can't get the remote to work in XBMC. What are the next steps for troubleshooting this?

| vic20gmr | izinucs, to check md5 in ubuntu type in terminal "md5sum <filename>" [without quotes, just passing it along... | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Try running "cd" first. | 22:30 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: that's pretty easy.. thanks for telling me. | 22:31 |
| Eighteens | in my ~/ home dir, there is a file called .xsession-errors and it's growing, i try opening the file to read the errors, but the files is growing in size as i look at it | 22:31 |

| ActionParsnip | Cann: its in a stock install afaik | 22:32 |
| Eighteens | i was able to copy like 5300 lines of it, and paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/535019/ | 22:32 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Try "fuser -k /mnt/" | 22:32 |
| vitali_ | Um, hello guys, can i ask a help with an ubuntu problem here? | 22:32 |
| Cann | ActionParsnip: so I install afaik? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | vitali_: ask away | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: afaik == as far as I know | 22:33 |
| vic20gmr | my md5 matches the one listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 22:33 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: that was successful, don't know what it did | 22:33 |
| andybleaden | vitali_, aye lets see if we can help | 22:33 |
| jcarlin | Hey I cant open up "main menu" in the System > Preferences can anyone help...? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jcarlin: try removing the item, then readd it | 22:33 |
| vitali_ | Okay, this is pretty much hard to explain, i'd appreciate if you'd watch this video to better undestand my problem - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/585201/out.ogv | 22:33 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: It killed any processes with open files in /mnt/. Now try "umount /mnt/" again (if you haven't already). | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jcarlin: as in, the item on the panel | 22:33 |
| andybleaden | jcarlin, have got ubuntu netbook or desktop? | 22:33 |
| Cann | ActionParsnip: what do I put in the terminal apt-get afaik? | 22:34 |
| jcarlin | desktop. | 22:34 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: still buys | 22:34 |
| magicjoe | busy | 22:34 |
| jcarlin | I cant remove it without using the menu manager.... | 22:34 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: still busy i mean | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: no it was me exclaiming it should be installed, its nothing technical | 22:34 |
| andybleaden | jcarlin, was it there before? | 22:34 |
| izinucs | jcarlin: point at "Applications" and right mouse click > edit | 22:34 |
| Cann | ActionParsnip: lol | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Cann: try running: gksudo ndisgtk | 22:34 |
| Cann | ActionParsnip: nothing happens | 22:35 |
| Cann | it just goes to another line | 22:35 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Run "umount /mnt/dev/; umount /mnt/proc/; umount /mnt/sys/; umount /mnt/" | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ndisgtk | 22:35 |

| jcarlin | I dont think you understand the question the menu manager under system > preferences will not start up | 22:35 |
| vic20gmr | izinucs, mt md5 matches the one listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes, can you think of anything that might be causing the usb-bootcreator program to be telling me "checksum doesnt match, try again?" | 22:35 |
| jcarlin | through terminal either | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | its in the repo | 22:36 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: mnt/dev not mounted /mnt still busy | 22:36 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: not sure but I remember a discussion about the creator program having issues on 10.10.. There is another method of creating it using unetbootin.. you'll have to google for it though | 22:36 |
| === draven is now known as draven_sol | ||
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Did you forget the leading '/' in "umount /mnt/dev/"? | 22:37 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U:in some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1) | 22:37 |
| vic20gmr | ok | 22:37 |
| === Katja is now known as Quemek | ||
| izinucs | vic20gmr: or you could create it anyway and ignore the error then see how it works. | 22:37 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: nope i put in all the slashes you put in | 22:37 |
| draven_sol | using the server install disk for a raid 10 what do the "spare" drives do? are they not used or are they the raid 1 part of the array? | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Try running "sudo umount -a". | 22:38 |
| cache_surplus | hi, can someone tell me howto go about the best way to setting up printing, such that, 90% of printers will work wirelessly? should I use cups, ipp, ?? suggestions, thanks | 22:39 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: ok mnt is no longer mounted! | 22:39 |
| tiago | alguem sabe como instalar o google earth no ubuntu? | 22:40 |
| vic20gmr | izinucs, is there a program that runs from ubuntu that does the same? | 22:40 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: now the loop command? | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Ok. Now run "mount /dev/sdXY /media/windows/" (again, replacing XY with the proper values). | 22:40 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: are you running 10.10? | 22:40 |
| vitali_ | So um, can anyone help? Shortly saying: the problem is explained in this screenshot - http://habreffect.ru/files/666/2e497e303/screenshot1.png, I run a script - nothing happens, i can't click a window, can't close it, can't even move it, it's like it's not even there. I figured out this is not a program specific as it happens with some other programs too. I posted a video incase it's difficult to understand my problem from a screenshot: | 22:41 |
| vitali_ | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/585201/out.ogv | 22:41 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: done | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Now run "mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/" | 22:42 |
| vic20gmr | izinucs, im running 10.04, if iwas already running 10.10 i wudnt ness need the ios/usb solution, heh | 22:42 |
| cache_surplus | hi, can someone tell me howto go about the best way to setting up printing, such that, 90% of printers will work wirelessly to a wireless print server directly attached via usb to the printer. the ip of the WPS is static, so is the ip on the printer? should I use cups, ipp, ?? to test I have an HP all-in-one 6310. suggestions, thanks | 22:42 |
| wasutton3-Laptop | i have a .dmg that i want to make a bootable usb drive out of, is it the same procedure as with an iso? (dd if=blah.iso of=drive)? | 22:42 |
| jcarlin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu | 22:42 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: DONE | 22:42 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: is the NV driver the official binary or not the official bunary? according to the xrandr link, NV is the only nvidia driver that supports xrandr | 22:42 |
| axx_ | hi all | 22:43 |
| === Quemek is now known as Kkk | ||
| Kkk | KKK | 22:43 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: see the post from wasutton3-Laptop above.. might be another solution for you | 22:43 |
| Kkk | KKK | 22:43 |
| axx_ | I've been getting a weird display error since upgrading to maverick | 22:43 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: have you got a newer card? | 22:43 |
| draven_sol | rufsketch1, the NV driver is the official linux driver | 22:43 |
| vitali_ | Crowded channel :( Hard to get help here, any more ubuntu channels here? | 22:43 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Now run "mkdir /media/wubi/media/windows/" (I know that seems odd, but I mean exactly what I typed). | 22:43 |
| axx_ | some menus leave a ghost on the display, and that ghost catches whatever is shown above it, but never disappears | 22:43 |
| ira | cach_surplus: I have a hp printer | 22:44 |
| cache_surplus | axx_: there is a lot of that going around.. its a new release. fill out a bug report or hit up the community forums for it. | 22:44 |

| cache_surplus | iRa what do you use? | 22:44 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: DONE | 22:44 |
| jcarlin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu someone help? | 22:44 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: NV is what would be installed if I used nvidia-common from the repos? | 22:45 |
| cache_surplus | ira mine defaults to the HP 6300 driver. :| | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Now run "mount --bind /media/windows/ /media/wubi/media/windows/". Then run "mount | pastebinit" and give the URL. | 22:45 |
| vic20gmr | izinucs, it looks to me like he just has the same problem, except he has a dmg, not an iso | 22:45 |
| axx_ | cache_surplus: that was my first idea, I just can't figure out how to put that bug into words, hence my coming here to see if anyone could point me to said problem/bug report | 22:45 |
| cache_surplus | ira i tried loading HP Tools as well. nice gui, however i need to know if i should use cups, setup cups server localhost and connect to it, or use IPP or something else, that will work for 90% of the printers out there. | 22:45 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: you could install the latest driver which is available in the x-swat PPA.. you add the PPA to your repo list and then update/upgrade and it should be installed (probably needed a reboot after).. not saying that will fix your issue but it also pulls the latest nvidia-settings and may allow you more funciton.. | 22:45 |
| yxz97 | The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid. | 22:45 |
| cache_surplus | axx_: the site, i forgot for ubuntu, one of these guys will know, but it tells you how to go about filling it out. | 22:46 |
| axx_ | yxz97: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12906 | 22:46 |
| izinucs | vic20gmr: yes.. but the command he mentioned was for an iso .. I don't know enough about dd to know it that will make a bootable driver or not. worth asking the channel | 22:46 |
| cache_surplus | axx_: oh its a pidgin issue? | 22:46 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/VcnWxQmw | 22:46 |
| ira | cache_surplus: so you are looking for a generic way to set up printing | 22:46 |
| cache_surplus | has to do with one of your plugins that are enabled? i talked to those guys, they said, no support for plugins lol | 22:47 |
| axx_ | cache_surplus: nope, just trying to do my bit to help out other users while I'm here :) | 22:47 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: well, I'm going to play with XRandr first. But I have another question. The image seems to be too big for the screen when I use hdmi. Like, pixels get cut off at the borders. Is there any way to scale down the image to fit into the screen? | 22:47 |
| vic20gmr | hey channel how can i usee command "dd" to make a bootable usb out of my ubuntu 10.10 iso? | 22:47 |
| blahsphemer | Could someone please give a kernel-level project idea for ubuntu | 22:47 |
| cache_surplus | iRa correct, that works well, color/black looks decent. | 22:47 |
| cache_surplus | and wirelessly | 22:47 |
| blahsphemer | I'd like to contribute in the kernel development | 22:47 |
| yxz97 | axx_, has been solved? | 22:47 |
| blahsphemer | I have kernel hacking experience in FreeBSD like implementing my own process scheduling algorithm, page replacement algorithm | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Not that it should be a problem, but did you really install XP to a fat32 partition rather than ntfs? | 22:47 |
| yxz97 | Jordan_U, hi | 22:48 |
| axx_ | yxz97: grabbing two certs and dumping them in /usr/share/purple/ca-certs seemed to work for me | 22:48 |
| yxz97 | axx_, from where ? | 22:48 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: no its ntfs that is just a data partition that was shared on linux and xp | 22:48 |
| axx_ | yxz97: grab 'em from here http://squidsrants.blogspot.com/2010/11/pidgin-msn-and-other-protocols.html | 22:48 |
| ira | cache_surplus: I have a hp photosmart 309g which works both color and black and white | 22:48 |
| biscazziere | hi, I have this problem with permissions. I have a Sites folder in my home. the owner is "fabio" and group is "fabio". I have installed apache also, which runs as "www-data" in the "www-data" group | 22:48 |
| Cann | ubuntu rocks when it works | 22:48 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: the NEWSHARE partition is where wubi is at, but it worked fine | 22:49 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: hummm.. I don't know. | 22:49 |
| cache_surplus | ira wirelessly to wireless print server? this is my issue. i can set up printers no prob attached. | 22:49 |
| biscazziere | mode for Sites folder is 775 | 22:49 |
| vitali_ | A problem here - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/585201/out.ogv any help? :( | 22:49 |
| cache_surplus | hi, can someone tell me howto go about the best way to setting up printing, such that, 90% of printers will work wirelessly to a wireless print server directly attached via usb to the printer. the ip of the WPS is static, so is the ip on the printer? should I use cups, ipp, ?? to test I have an HP all-in-one 6310. suggestions, thanks | 22:49 |
| biscazziere | the I added the www-data user to the group "fabio" | 22:49 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: it only happens with hdmi though. It's fine with VGA. though, I need to use hdmi if I want audio at the moment | 22:49 |
| axx_ | cache_surplus: ok, I'll try harder on the bug tracker… thanks see you around ! | 22:49 |
| cache_surplus | axx have fun | 22:49 |
| cache_surplus | i hate bug reports ;) | 22:50 |
| axx_ | yxz97: hope all works out, cheers ! | 22:50 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i mean, the windows is installed on an ntfs partition, but the newshare partition is fat, used for data files that are shared on both OSs | 22:50 |
| cache_surplus | a necessary evil | 22:50 |
| axx_ | don't we all ;) | 22:50 |
| izinucs | rufsketch1: I understand.. sorry I don't have the answer | 22:50 |
| axx_ | later :) | 22:50 |
| biscazziere | I expect that apache has permission to create files inside that directory but I get "permission denied" | 22:50 |
| ira | cache_surplus: I am printing wirelessly to my hp | 22:50 |
| cache_surplus | ira suggestions? cups/ipp? | 22:50 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: and that wubi is installed on the newshare partition | 22:50 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: hope that makes sense | 22:50 |
| ira | I did mine via gnome using the system admin printing program | 22:51 |
| trumee | why doesnt PageUp and PageDown work as expected in Ubuntu. It should bring up the history. It wors as expected in Gentoo and Suse | 22:51 |
| rufsketch1 | izinucs: is there any program I need to install in order to get xrandr to give me some output? | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Ahh, installing wubi to a separate partition from "C:" is probably the root cause of the problem. Wubi is currently embarassingly bad at dealing with being installed to a different partition than "C:". You are lucky you're still able to boot windows in fact. | 22:51 |
| rufsketch1 | at the moment it returns nothing | 22:51 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: it was working fine forever, with no problems. it only started today when i ran updates, and it froze up | 22:52 |
| vic20gmr | well i gess noone is able/willing to help me with this "dd" thing.... | 22:52 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: sorry.. switched computers.. from laptop to desktop.. izinucs-scunizi :) type xrandr in a terminal and it will give you the resolutions that it currently has registered. | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: We'll continue with what I was planning to do, but there may be additional problems I wasn't expecting because it's a separate partition. | 22:53 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: that's the thing | 22:53 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: can we just TRY to repair it as if it were on C:, now that we got the partition mounted...PLEASE just try. | 22:53 |
| rufsketch1 | typing xrandr returns blank | 22:53 |
| rufsketch1 | on my laptop however (with an intel chipset) it will give me the resolutions | 22:54 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: I understand the risks, and what you are saying....i just want to try to get it running again. | 22:54 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: type "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" .. and see what that has in it. | 22:54 |
| jcarlin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu | 22:54 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: it only shows one monitor. And no resolutions. I imagine this is due to the way the nvidia driver extends the desktop | 22:54 |
| yxz97 | it worked | 22:55 |
| yxz97 | thanks | 22:55 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: just a second, I'll pastebin it | 22:55 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: run "mount --bind /dev/ /media/wubi/dev/; mount --bind /proc/ /media/wubi/proc; mount --bind /sys/ /media/wubi/sys/" | 22:55 |
| rufsketch1 | http://pastebin.ca/1998318 | 22:55 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: ^ | 22:55 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: you actually have 3 resolutions going right now.. a virtual resolution which is monitor1+monitor2 .. then monitor 1 only and monitor 2 only.. | 22:55 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: did you enable xinerama? | 22:56 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: so how do I get to the resolutions of the individual monitors? | 22:56 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: I'm using the nvidia-settings dual-monitor thing. How do I enable xinerama? | 22:57 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: is there a slash after the second proc? | 22:57 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: xinerama is a setting available in nvidia-settings.. just wondering if you enabled it .. take a look | 22:57 |

| dylnuge | Hi. I just installed ubuntu onto a new computer, and I have a text file with all of the packages I had installed on the old system (line by line, nothing on each line but the package name). Is there a way to feed that file into aptitude or apt-get on the command line so it reinstalls them all? | 23:00 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: there is no way to do this fix on a 32 bit system? | 23:00 |
| kwazar_ | New0: simplest way is to use dd | 23:00 |
| New0 | dd?? | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: You can fix it. You'll just have to edit the grub.cfg manually instead of using update-grub. | 23:00 |
| New0 | what is dd? | 23:01 |
| dylnuge | New0: Disk Duplicator. give it an 'if' value of the drive you want to copy from and an 'of' value of the one you want to copy to | 23:01 |
| kwazar_ | yes; direct copy of your whole block device | 23:01 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: can you PLEASE help me do that? when i booted to windows, i saw the /ubuntu/boot/grub directory, but there was nothing in that. how do i get the grub back??? | 23:01 |
| kwazar_ | which can be your hard disk or partition | 23:01 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: after opening nvidia-settings highlight the "X Server Display Configuration" item on the left ... then look on the right edge about 2/3rd of the way down where the "Configure" button is.. on that line to the left of the button what does it say? | 23:01 |

| cache_surplus | iRa ya me too, but your not saying what protocol you used. there are multiple options. | 23:06 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: DONE | 23:06 |
| dylnuge | new0: If you're cloning the drive, you must have a second drive with equal or more space than the original | 23:06 |

| LtHummus | any experts with lirc around? I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and i have lirc installed and configured, but getting no response when i press buttons on my remote | 23:06 |
| New0 | sure | 23:06 |
| New0 | i some expiriend in that area but not in linux | 23:07 |
| dylnuge | So does anyone know a way to give apt-get a file as an argument? I tried piping with cat, didn't work right. | 23:07 |
| New0 | but i just hate MS since win 7 | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Now run "ls -l /media/wubi/boot/ | pastebinit" and "blkid | pastebinit". | 23:07 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: ok.. then it's set right. and when you type xrandr in terminal you get nothing? blank? that's weird.. I'm running dual monitors on the desktop and xrandr report my resolution is 3200 x 1080 .. the combo for my 2 monitors | 23:08 |

| cache_surplus | question: what works better by default, ipp, or cups printer? or something else that has good color | 23:08 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: well. Her monitors aren't set up through randr. They're set up through the nvidia-settings tool | 23:08 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/W5jF7d0a | 23:08 |

| Scunizi | rufsketch1: is the computer currently plugged into the tv and the separate monitor? (if it's not a laptop) | 23:09 |
| New0 | dylnuge ? | 23:09 |
| rufsketch1 | Scunizi: yes | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: sigh... You have larger problems than I thought. | 23:09 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: and both are displaying at the same time? | 23:09 |
| rufsketch1 | Yes | 23:10 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: like un-fixable problems? | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | ira i wonder if i need to start up the printer setup gui using sudo instead... | 23:10 |
| dylnuge | New0: yes? | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: No. Just annoying and tedious :) | 23:10 |
| New0 | now i need to press try ubuntu ? | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | ira im now using the HPLIP toolbox | 23:10 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: the reason I ask is because your xorg.conf file doesn't mention the "other" monitor.. only one.. At this point I'm not sure how to fix this.. | 23:10 |
| x404x | i have ubuntu 10.10 and had it locked to a fixed ip, now i changed it to dhcp /auto but it still locks to that ip, how can i change it ? | 23:11 |
| dylnuge | New0: Oh, on the liveCd. Yeah, to get to the terminal environment (or you could just switch to a tty, either works) | 23:11 |
| ira | cache_surplus: I don't have the hp toolbox myself, I am way too new to this version of linux | 23:11 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i truly will pay you for helping me. im on a college student budget, but i can make installments. i mean, like 100 bucks? in installments, or like 50 or so? | 23:11 |
| Scunizi | rufsketch1: perhaps with xrandr --output auto | 23:11 |
| New0 | what is tty? | 23:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: you can't.. the network card is going to request the same address as long as it is available | 23:11 |
| New0 | is there is way without the CLI ? | 23:11 |
| New0 | i perfer GUI | 23:12 |
| cache_surplus | ira its nifty, this toolbox, it connects you locally to localhost:631/admin but i think thats a security hole. | 23:12 |
| dylnuge | New0: To directly clone a disk? You're probably best off working with the shell and dd if you want to clone the disk | 23:12 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: its just that i have a really cool cairo-dock installed, that i had to get from launchpad, then compile with CMAKE, and it would just be too much to redo! | 23:12 |
| Raja_ | Hi | 23:12 |
| x404x | so I can just shoot the server then ? | 23:12 |
| Scunizi | New0: cloning can be done with clonezilla or partimage .. both live cd's.. google for info | 23:13 |
| New0 | ok i try it | 23:13 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: and i have compiz all pimped out with a cool skydome and everything....its beautiful, i cant lose all that time | 23:13 |

| cache_surplus | yah, the gui dulls the mind doesnt it ;) | 23:14 |
| ira | yes and sudo et al | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Wow, that's a lot of money IMO. To be perfectly honest I would have continued helping you even without any money (and still will), and I'm not sure the best way to accept it. | 23:14 |
| Scunizi | cache_surplus: here's a link that is older but will probably still work http://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/hp-officejet-6310-all-one-printer-0 | 23:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: nah... there isn't anything wrong with your network of the IP allocation.. you could try to set a different manual ip address on that machine and then return it to DHCP to see if it frees up that address | 23:14 |

| Scunizi | annihilator: dual boot | 23:15 |
| annihilator | i dont want to tho Scunizi | 23:15 |
| x404x | hm is there a way to manually release it ? like ipconfig /release | 23:16 |
| cache_surplus | ira that works well with "attached" printers. i have used jetdirect b4 and it worked. just loaded the .ppd file | 23:16 |
| x404x | i need to change it to another subnet | 23:16 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: 1980j.andres@gmail.com is my email | 23:16 |
| cache_surplus | ira i then have issues with printing more than one page... thats totally lame | 23:16 |
| Scunizi | annihilator: then you're only left with 2 options.. run ubuntu in virtualbox inside of windows in full screen mode or get another computer | 23:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | set the IP to the other subnet with a static IP, then change it back to DHCP and see what happens | 23:16 |
| annihilator | i got another computer that i am installing lubuntu on | 23:16 |
| annihilator | that is my server computer | 23:17 |
| eliofall | yeah it its the computer in my car... i want to sync the the music over samba. i was thinking it shouldnt be to hard to write a script that looked for anything user then the last time it was ran just just use wget to get it off samba | 23:17 |
| x404x | hm might be scary hehe, the other modem is wide open and allocates one ip for each pc on the internet | 23:17 |
| ira | cache_surplus: guess I need to watch my language | 23:17 |
| x404x | so another random ip might be someone elses | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: I've made an image of a working wubi boot directory. Hopefully you can use that to get your wubi booting again. | 23:17 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: i had like 232 updates, and then it removed a bunch of stuff like cups and everything, THEN it was going to install the NEW versions of them, but it froze up, because i was messing with playing a video while it was doing that....so now, its screwed | 23:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: I think your setup is a little too advanced for anyone here to know what your trying to do | 23:18 |
| dylnuge | It looks like dpkg --set-selections can take in a file as an argument, but the file looks a little different (it has an "install" next to every single line). Can I add the installs to every line? | 23:18 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: and my settings will still be there? hopefully? | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: Yes. | 23:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: how are you managing your network connections? are you manually setting up files in /etc/sysconfig? or are you using Network Manager? | 23:18 |
| x404x | net manager | 23:19 |
| x404x | the server just has one connection | 23:19 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: ok, worth a shot. so how do i obtain this image, and what do i do with it? lol, im sure you are typing instructions right now, so i will wait | 23:19 |

| x404x | now i put in an old modem that my isp said would not work and its blazing fast | 23:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: I think your network is a little too complex... or something is mis-configured | 23:20 |
| funktionblau | magicjoe so why does site like stagevu still dont work for me ? | 23:20 |
| x404x | its also wide open lol so i should add a router also i guess | 23:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | I think your network would be a lot better managed with a router, also secure things up | 23:21 |
| cache_surplus | ira ? | 23:21 |
| x404x | yes i know , are jensen routers any good ? | 23:21 |

| cache_surplus | ira you said something about watching your language? | 23:23 |
| ira | I think i misread a response | 23:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: make sure to turn off your wireless when away... that's the biggest culprit for heat in your modems | 23:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: err, router | 23:23 |

| x404x | the server downloads from usenet and i remote admin it | 23:24 |
| x404x | not a fast line anyway lol | 23:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | make sure you turn of QoS, that's possibly why your modems and routers get hung up | 23:25 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: You still there? | 23:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | turn off QoS* | 23:25 |
| x404x | whats qos ? | 23:25 |
| tango | quality of service | 23:25 |
| fermulator | is there a ubuntu networking channel I could ask some Q's in? | 23:26 |
| x404x | hm i must have forgotten to order that lol. ;=) never heard of it | 23:26 |
| fermulator | (wireless USB dongle) | 23:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | quality of service, it's a monitor that prioritizes network traffic... I've noticed in consumer grade routers that the router gets overwhelmed and they lock up | 23:26 |
| x404x | hm , the thomson had something called intrusion detection is it like that ? | 23:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: it's in most modern routers produced in the last 6 years | 23:27 |
| izardstreet | i'm running a Dell Inspiron 1545 and i can't get my function keys to work properly | 23:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: that's part of it | 23:27 |
| x404x | was disabled by default and had to be enabled in telnet | 23:27 |
| izardstreet | i can't do f2 + fn and turn on my wireless | 23:27 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: Please tell me you are there? | 23:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: I had an SMC router that had the same feature labeled as Intrusion Detection... as soon as I turned it off my router stopped locking up | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: I am. It's just taking a while to make the modifications needed for things to work on your setup. | 23:28 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: ok awesome. | 23:28 |
| x404x | hm so they spend the memory just to make it lock up ? sounds like quality products | 23:29 |
| x404x | will it overload on a 1-2 mbit line ? | 23:29 |
| fermulator | is there a ubuntu networking channel I could ask some Q's in? (interested in troubleshooting ndiswrapper) | 23:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | x404x: they're just consumer grade, they aren't for heavy usage, especially if your doing a lot of file transferring over p2p or usenet | 23:30 |

| lessthan3 | Hey guys, i've been playing with the remote destkop, and I've been wondering if there's any way to set a remote desktop to one of the desktop switchers on the bottom-right | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | cache_surplus: and the printserver box is it hardwired or wireless? | 23:51 |
| blackjacket | I love Ubuntu. Just sayin. | 23:51 |
| KRISHi | so that is the problem. any solutions?? | 23:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | KRISHi: did you do an upgrade or install clean from a DVD or CD? | 23:52 |
| cache_surplus | wireless as well | 23:52 |
| S0lder | Hello. Today my trackpad on my laptop randomly stopped working in Ubuntu. It works fine in Windows. I was wondering if anyone here could help me. | 23:52 |
| aeon-ltd | New0: its a livecd | 23:52 |
| aroman | How can I sync my Tomboy Notes with Ubuntu One? I'm using Maverick. | 23:52 |
| cache_surplus | Scunizi: wireless as well | 23:52 |
| SourApple | i installed Ubuntu by using Wubi and once i downloaded updates it asked for reboot, so i did. Then i faced error no such device e55..numbers | 23:52 |
| LoganJRuff | S0lder, check your synaptics driver | 23:52 |
| yxz97 | I have installed JDK in /usr/local | 23:52 |
| S0lder | how? | 23:53 |
| SourApple | and got grab rescue | 23:53 |
| cache_surplus | Scunizi: both ping and can be admin'd via http, telnet | 23:53 |
| Scunizi | cache_surplus: if the printer is wireless and the printserver is wireless.. then don't plug the printer into the print server | 23:53 |
| yxz97 | and added to my .bash_profile the lines to include in the path | 23:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | SourApple: I have had numerous problems with Wubi whenever a kernel update is sent out | 23:53 |
| cache_surplus | the printer is not wireless | 23:53 |
| KRISHi | helllllllllooooooooooooo plz tell me some way friends | 23:53 |
| S0lder | i tried apt-get synaptics and installed the thing it said would replace it | 23:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | that's likely the issue | 23:53 |
| cache_surplus | Scunizi: it has both a eth port and usb port | 23:53 |
| yxz97 | when I run eclipse from the icon, with double click "he" is not able to locate the Java I have installed | 23:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | KRISHi: Stop spaming the wrong, someone already responded to you | 23:53 |
| LoganJRuff | S0lder, and it stopped working after that? | 23:53 |
| cache_surplus | Scunizi: usb is connected directly to adjacent wprinter | 23:53 |
| S0lder | no | 23:53 |
| yxz97 | but If I do something like in the command line: . ./.bash_profile | 23:53 |
| SourApple | so what should i do? i don't have LiveCD neither the windows 7 recovery cd | 23:54 |
| yxz97 | to re run the bash_profile configuration values and enable in the shell | 23:54 |
| KRISHi | oh sorry pragma. i did a clean install | 23:54 |
| yxz97 | and from there, run eclipse, is able to detect my Java installation | 23:54 |
| yxz97 | what am I doing wrong ? | 23:54 |
| KRISHi | with ubuntu 10.10 cd | 23:54 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: 60%.....for 15MB this is taking a while! | 23:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | KRISHi: thank you... what applications do you have running? | 23:54 |
| yxz97 | Do I have to move the settings from bash_profile to another file ? HELP! | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | cache_surplus: ok.. then when you set the printer as static use a low ip number to eliminate conflicts on your network.. something like 192.168.0.50 or .2 .. and plug the printer into the printserver using ethernet cabling | 23:55 |
| KRISHi | many.... like vlc, chrome, firefox etc | 23:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | SourApple: I can't remember how I fixed it... took a lot of trial and error, I will try to find a link to the site I used to solve my issue... I eventually just started to set up my systems with a dual boot with two seperate partitions | 23:55 |
| KRISHi | it happens with all the apps | 23:55 |
| yeats | KRISHi: when the "sluggishness" happens, open a terminal and do 'top' to see what's using the most resources | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | magicjoe: I'm using 3G wireless for internet access because my main connection died due to snow. That's why it's so slow. | 23:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | KRISHi: what make and model is your computer? | 23:55 |
| cache_surplus | Scunizi: network config is fine, continue... | 23:56 |
| cache_surplus | Scunizi: so use an eth cable instead of usb? correct | 23:56 |
| magicjoe | Jordan_U: its ok, i can live....there is activity so thats a good sign! :) | 23:56 |
| KRISHi | mine is acer 4736z with pentium dual core 2.1 ghz 3 gb ram | 23:56 |
| cache_surplus | i will try that now. brb | 23:56 |
| New0 | excuse me for newbie question, but if i use clonezilla for a WIN drive is it work? | 23:56 |
| aeon-ltd | New0: it supports it, so it should do | 23:57 |
| New0 | tnx | 23:57 |
| SourApple | •pragmaticenigma• i did installed them in 2 seperate partitions but it's weird~ | 23:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | KRISHi: as yeats mentioned... open a terminal (under your Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and run the command "top"... it will tell you what program is running and taking up all the system resources | 23:57 |
| SourApple | install* | 23:57 |
| pragmaticenigma | SourApple: You said you did a WUBI installation right? | 23:57 |
| SourApple | yeah | 23:57 |
| New0 | and i notice there is two different version to divian and ubuntu, is that metter ? | 23:57 |
| New0 | or may be i sould just follow the instruction | 23:58 |
| KRISHi | okie thanks for that but what to do then after...?? | 23:58 |
| New0 | *should | 23:58 |
| yeats | KRISHi: you have to do find out what's going wrong before anyone could offer a solution | 23:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | SourApple: WUBI doesn't do a partition, instead it loads a special file on your windows drive and a special loader | 23:58 |
| cache_surplus | im starting to think this wireless print server was designed to support only a laptop/desktop connected to it... and nothing else. however this set up has worked before | 23:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | KRISHi: if you find a program using a lot of the CPU, tell us here and we can help you further | 23:59 |
| KRISHi | yeats: ur right | 23:59 |
| SourApple | •pragmaticenigma• uh-huh... ok, waiting for the link | 23:59 |
| aeon-ltd | New0: follow the guide | 23:59 |
