| HazardX | wrd: probably, if it were installed. | 00:45 |
| riddick | maybe... i'm not sure | 00:45 |
| wrd | HazardX: I suppose the thing you actually want to do is create a new gdm profile that starts nothing (except perhaps an xterm) | 00:45 |
| riddick | is unity the thing that uses the "launcher bar" | 00:46 |
| HazardX | gdm/X has always confused/caused problems for me, but that does sound right | 00:46 |
| bfri | Need help with networking and file sharing | 00:46 |
| HazardX | wrd: looking at the file list of what the gdm .deb installs, I don't see anything that seems familiar about where to do that though | 00:46 |
| VCoolio | except in fstab, where does ubuntu store that it was installed with a separate /home partition? I copied stuff over to folder /home but boot wants to find partition | 00:47 |
| riddick | Yes, that IS what i mean... Huzzah! | 00:47 |
| HazardX | and to make things a little more painful, right now xterm dosen't have keyboard support (so I can't run gdmsetup, because it needs X) | 00:48 |

| soreau | aroman: I don't think so. | 02:04 |
| soreau | Serebro: But the live cd works of the same version of ubuntu? | 02:05 |
| DasEi | awc : hmm, no ubuntu ? according to paste there are two installs, with sdb5 being / | 02:05 |
| awc | yeah | 02:05 |
| awc | DasEi: what if I try the same for sda? there is one on that too ( the original) | 02:06 |
| Serebro | soreau: LiveCD is the only one I could find--it's a 10.10 RC | 02:06 |
| DasEi | awc:ctrl+d to be sure , then | 02:06 |
| soreau | Serebro: So it works on a live cd until you install it, then it boots to black screen? | 02:07 |
| DasEi | awc : sudo umount --bind /usr /mnt/usr | 02:07 |
| Serebro | soreau: yes. | 02:07 |

| xangua | ask on #archlinux otniel | 02:09 |
| DasEi | awc: just leave it then, I wonder what we find in sda5 | 02:09 |

| awc | DasEi: ok | 02:09 |
| DasEi | awc : sudo umount /dev/sdb5 | 02:09 |
| DasEi | if not already | 02:09 |
| awc | DasEi: to be honest I could care less what is on sdb I can reformat it all | 02:09 |
| awc | its sda that I want to keep 100% | 02:09 |
| DasEi | awc : sudo mount /dev/sdba /mnt | 02:09 |
| soreau | Serebro: When you boot your machine, you should be able to get to the grub menu and it should list ubuntu, one with recovery mode and an entry for memory test | 02:09 |
| DasEi | awc : sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt | 02:10 |
| DasEi | typo^ | 02:10 |
| Serebro | soreau: ah, right, I can get there. | 02:10 |
| obsidieth | my apt-gets are becoming stuck on 'getting headers' | 02:10 |
| DasEi | awc : sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev | 02:10 |
| awc | DasEi: its already mounted | 02:10 |
| DasEi | awc : sda5 ? | 02:10 |
| soreau | Serebro: Then when you boot into recovery mode, select the option to boot to a root prompt and run apt-get update/upgrade etc | 02:10 |
| awc | DasEi: there is not sda5 | 02:11 |
| DasEi | awc: ,,, | 02:11 |
| awc | no* | 02:11 |
| Serebro | soreau: gonna be here for a while so I can run/do that? (One computer available atm.) | 02:11 |
| soreau | Serebro: You could do it from the live cd by chrooting into the root partition but it's a bit more involving.. | 02:11 |
| soreau | Serebro: I suspect the problem is your kernel is out of date | 02:12 |
| awc | DasEi: on sda I've got sda1 sda2 and sda3 | 02:12 |
| DasEi | awc: is what I thought, no idea what win7 did to a gpt table then, both systems I don't use | 02:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: But without logs to review, it's hard to say | 02:12 |
| awc | hmm ok | 02:12 |
| Serebro | soreau: log location is?? | 02:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: /var/log/messages | 02:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: But make sure you get it from the mounted file system on the hard drive and not your live session log | 02:13 |
| Serebro | soreau: will see about pastebin asap | 02:13 |
| Serebro | soreau: yeah, mount drive and cd into it | 02:13 |
| Ed_Money | how do I change my settings so that "CTRL+L" won't automatically lock my computer? | 02:14 |
| DasEi | awc: might ask again concerning gpt-table and win7,else if you re-install do win7 first, then grub, that works | 02:14 |
| awc | yeah, I might | 02:15 |
| awc | thanks for the help DasEi | 02:15 |
| DasEi | awc: no gpt here, could have been more | 02:15 |

| soreau | Serebro: That log looks suspiciously like the live session log and not the one from the hard drive file system.. | 02:23 |
| soreau | ubuntu-user: You need to elaborate | 02:23 |
| soreau | ! details | ubuntu-user | 02:23 |

| obsidieth | now there is some stupid gpg key error | 02:24 |
| soreau | Serebro: ok | 02:24 |
| obsidieth | this is an absolutely clean install, why is apt so boned. | 02:24 |

| soreau | Serebro: Alright, I will look at these logs. In the meantime, go ahead and see what happens when you boot into recovery mode and run 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'. | 02:25 |
| obsidieth | the problem was there before i changed mirrors. guess a key was missing on the default install | 02:25 |
| coz_ | obsidieth, which PPA is this? | 02:25 |
| obsidieth | works now, just a strange thing to have missing. | 02:25 |
| Serebro | soreau: okay, will do. | 02:25 |
| obsidieth | coz_: the souces.list has not been changed. | 02:25 |
| Serebro | quit | 02:25 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: Smooth gears means nothing. See the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer' | 02:25 |
| obsidieth | it is the main maverick release mirror. | 02:25 |

| vic20gmr | soreau, ok, but if gears reveals nothing why do it in the first place? | 02:26 |

| DasEi | obsidieth: you need to reload synaptic or do an update after changing mirror | 02:27 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: But that output indicates you have the open radeon driver working correctly. Are you having some problem? | 02:27 |
| vic20gmr | no but several peoplehave in the course of my using ubuntu, i just wondered why | 02:27 |

| klenwell | Does anybody know how to force cron to reload files in /etc/cron.d? | 02:29 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: The easiest way to do this is to install xorg-edgers repo and subsequently, the mesa-dri-experimental package | 02:29 |

| awc | ty | 02:31 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: Gallium is a new way of writing drivers. It will give you OpenGL 2.1, instead of what you have currently, 1.5 (see glxinfo output) | 02:31 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: It exploits your hardware and offers better all around 3D capabilities | 02:31 |

| soreau | ubuntu-user: You said first you can't connect to another computer, now you say you can't connect to LAN. Which is it? What are you trying to do? Just connect to the internet or network in some other way? | 02:33 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: What wifi hardware? | 02:33 |

| phil__ | i think its a gforce..8600? | 02:34 |
| BaTTy0 | GoBBle GoBBle | 02:34 |
| phil__ | maybe? something like that | 02:34 |
| soreau | ubuntu-user: What OS is the other computer running? Chances are it's just a configuration issue and you don't need a new driver | 02:34 |
| coz_ | phil__, open a terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 02:34 |
| vic20gmr | soreau, is there a way to get ogl 2.1 in 10.04 | 02:34 |
| phil__ | hmm...whats that do? | 02:34 |
| phil__ | im totally new to ubuntu =/ | 02:35 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: Grab a live image of 10.10 and boot it to test it. AFAICT, everything should work OOTB | 02:35 |
| coz_ | phil__, that command will tell you the exact video card on your system | 02:35 |
| phil__ | ok thanks | 02:35 |
| vic20gmr | soreau, im not going to upgrade, if you have another suggestion, im willing to try it | 02:35 |
| ubuntu-user | soreau, ubuntu 10.10 , kernel 2.6.35-22-generic have the same problem, | 02:35 |
| coz_ | phil__, it might be better to highlight that command here and then "middle" click inside the terminal window to paste | 02:36 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: You can still try installing xorg-edgers for 10.04 and mesa-dri-experimental but there have been lots of improvements in the driver for your card since then (in the kernel and user space stuiff) | 02:36 |

| phil__ | it isnt a ubuntu game | 02:51 |
| brendan1 | ubuntu4shane, ubuXubu: I've tried that, but the problem is I still have to download the image. | 02:52 |
| phil__ | i played it on windows xp? | 02:52 |
| awc | soreau: I'll give it a shot | 02:52 |
| brendan1 | There's no space. | 02:52 |
| awc | thanks | 02:52 |
| rusivi | spaz: I'm inferring that conclusion. based on how the bug was not commented well on how the "Fix Released" status came to be, feel free to spark a conversation up about it in #ubuntu-bugs. | 02:52 |
| phil__ | if you see what i mean | 02:52 |
| coz_ | phil__, i see and is it with windows that you had the high frame rate | 02:52 |
| phil__ | Yeah, well a lot higher than now | 02:52 |
| soreau | phil__: It's possible that your drivers are broken. What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? | 02:52 |
| brendan1 | 2GB RAM, a CD mounted, a CD image, and the hard drive locked away... yeah. | 02:52 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: I would burn you a CD but I don't live in the USA | 02:52 |
| coz_ | phil__, ok then I would suggest moving over the the #nvidia channel and explain that to them.... frankly the driver you have installed should be more than adequate to handle that game | 02:53 |
| phil__ | glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 02:53 |
| phil__ | sudo apt-get install mesa-utils | 02:53 |
| phil__ | should i install it? | 02:53 |
| coz_ | phil__, yes | 02:53 |
| spaz | rusivi: yeah it's really quite ambiguously commented. thanks for the help, I might inquire about it there too | 02:53 |
| phil__ | great, will get to it | 02:53 |
| phil__ | but, i have no clue what i'm doing :P | 02:53 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: you are going to have to 1. Use a friend's computer download and burn the image again, or order a CD | 02:53 |
| coz_ | phil__, just open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install mesa-utils | 02:53 |
| soreau | phil__: It's telling you exactly what to do, just read what it says | 02:54 |
| phil__ | ah ye, another thing | 02:54 |
| phil__ | when i try type in my password it asks for | 02:54 |
| phil__ | it doesnt do anything.. | 02:54 |
| soreau | phil__: You can't see your password when you type it | 02:54 |
| coz_ | phil__, it will not show the password | 02:54 |
| coz_ | :) | 02:54 |
| soreau | phil__: It is a security feature | 02:54 |
| coz_ | ^^ | 02:54 |
| phil__ | it works! | 02:54 |
| coz_ | cool | 02:54 |
| phil__ | ^_^ installing i think | 02:54 |
| soreau | phil__: Another tip is to press the up arrow key in your terminal to get to commands you've already ran | 02:55 |
| spaz | does anyone know why I would be experiencing noticeable tearing on flash/HTML5 video, but not with videos played in totem? This machine has a intel x3150 for graphics. | 02:55 |
| phil__ | nice :) | 02:55 |
| phil__ | last thing it says it | 02:55 |
| phil__ | Setting up mesa-utils (7.7.1-1ubuntu3) ... | 02:55 |
| brendan1 | ubuntu4shane: Neither of those are options. Is there any way I can get a smaller image, or get the CD to use part of the hard drive? | 02:55 |
| rusivi | spaz: The buck stops w/ ubuntu-bugs, they are the ones who mark "Fix Released" they are the ones to talk about it with. | 02:55 |
| phil__ | and then where i can type the command, should i lleave i to setup? | 02:56 |
| phil__ | or has it stopped? | 02:56 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Serebro | ||
| coz_ | phil__, ok now type that command into the terminal | 02:56 |
| coz_ | glxinfo | grep renderer | 02:56 |
| ubuXubu | brendan1, can u do wubi | 02:56 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: maybe the alternate CD or puppy linux? | 02:56 |
| ubuntu4shane | ubuXubu: it seems as the 34% install wiped the hdd | 02:57 |
| phil__ | OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8600 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! | 02:57 |
| coz_ | mmm | 02:57 |
| subichan | soreau: I read the ubuntu page of samba, and it says "From a Windows client you should now be able to browse to the Ubuntu file server and see the shared directory. To check that everything is working try creating a directory from Windows. ", actually i was looking for the opposite. is it possible too? | 02:57 |
| coz_ | phil__, this is a PCI card? | 02:57 |
| subichan | soreau: meaning I was tryign to access windows files from ubuntu | 02:57 |
| phil__ | PCI card? | 02:57 |
| soreau | subichan: Yes, though I don't use samba or windows really | 02:57 |
| phil__ | Errrrm...whats that again? | 02:57 |
| Serebro | Soreau: no luck on my end, though it installed a bunch of updates...find anything in the logs? | 02:57 |
| coz_ | phil__, hold on | 02:57 |
| brendan1 | ubuXubu: I can't use wubi because I've already gotten rid of Windows and I lost the recovery disks long ago (this machine is from a time when 2G was a lot). | 02:57 |
| subichan | soreau: ok thanks | 02:57 |
| soreau | Serebro: After it installed all the updates you rebooted again and reran update/upgrade until it had nothing left to update? | 02:58 |
| coz_ | phil__, ok in a terminal type lspci -list | 02:58 |
| coz_ | phil__, DO NOT paste the readout here | 02:58 |
| phil__ | wow | 02:58 |
| soreau | Serebro: Also this is the log from the live session because it says the kernel is from /casper (when it should be from /boot) | 02:58 |
| phil__ | where do i paste it? | 02:58 |
| coz_ | phil__, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 02:59 |
| soreau | ! paste | phil__ | 02:59 |
| ubuXubu | brendan1, what version olf windows was it | 02:59 |
| ubottu | phil__: 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. | 02:59 |
| coz_ | phil__, then hit the "Paste" button and then paste the link it gives you here | 02:59 |
| Serebro | Soreau: sigh, no... back to the CLI I go. back in a bit. hmm, should have given you the right ones... I'll double-check | 02:59 |
| phil__ | wont take me to that website | 02:59 |
| phil__ | should i just type it? | 02:59 |
| coz_ | phil__, you have to open firefox | 02:59 |
| phil__ | ok | 02:59 |
| coz_ | phil__, then go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 02:59 |
| soreau | Serebro: At the top of the file it says the BOOT_IMAGE= and it should be from /boot, not /casper | 03:00 |
| phil__ | poster name? | 03:00 |
| coz_ | phil__, yours | 03:00 |
| coz_ | phil__, phil__ will do | 03:00 |
| phil__ | oke | 03:00 |
| Doyle | Here's a Q. Is there an easy way to get my keyboards media buttons to function in ubuntu 10.04? | 03:00 |
| coz_ | Doyle, did you go to system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts | 03:00 |
| brendan1 | @ubuntu4shane: the alternate CD is actually the same size (just because it's text-based doesn't mean it's smaller, apparently), but Puppy Linux looks BARELY small enough to clear. | 03:00 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: as a 'quick fix' or alternative, google puppy linux, it is a small download, then booted with the CD install unetbootin, and prepare the usb with that for puppy linux, run off that download the Ubuntu ISO again, and burn it slowly | 03:00 |
| phil__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/536526/ | 03:01 |
| brendan1 | ubuntu4shane: Thanks! I'll see if that works. | 03:01 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: I wasn't sure but I was thinking the alt-cd was smaller, guess I was wrong | 03:01 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: puppy is just a nice small download that may speed the process | 03:01 |
| Doyle | coz_: yea, first place I looked. No good. | 03:02 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: are you sure the disk was erased | 03:02 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: I assume you are booted via cd now? | 03:02 |
| coz_ | Doyle, ooo ok I have media keys here as well but I have not tried enabling any of them ... | 03:02 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: if you have the time, we can see if the file is still on the hdd. | 03:02 |
| brendan1 | ubuntu4shane: Yeah, there's a linux filesystem already installed, yeah, I am, puppy is downloaded but I've only got 6 MB left so I'd better get it burned before it crashes. | 03:02 |
| coz_ | phil__, hold on | 03:02 |
| dumpers | join ##mac | 03:03 |
| phil__ | coz_; it says also incase you missed the link | 03:03 |
| phil__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/536526/ | 03:03 |
| phil__ | oh | 03:03 |
| phil__ | not that | 03:03 |
| Serebro | soreau: will check and make sure I get the right ones this time. which files besides the Xorg.0.log? | 03:03 |
| FloodBot1 | phil__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:03 |
| coz_ | phil__, I got it thanks | 03:03 |
| ubuntu4shane | brendan1: ok, go with that plan | 03:03 |
| soreau | Serebro: /var/log/messages | 03:03 |
| Doyle | coz_: ok... I could swear the worked in 9... | 03:03 |
| Serebro | soreau: thanks, will get them | 03:03 |
| phil__ | coz, is that the correct information? | 03:03 |
| soreau | Serebro: It will end up being /mount/point/var/log/blah/blah | 03:03 |
| Doyle | Media keys don't work. Tried the keboard shortcuts utility, as well as several different applications. | 03:04 |
| coz_ | phil__, yes but hold on please | 03:04 |
| Doyle | Any suggestions for a fix would be appreciated. Thanks | 03:04 |
| soreau | Serebro: Simply type 'mount' to see what's mounted and to where | 03:04 |
| phil__ | ok no problem, take you're time | 03:04 |
| soreau | Doyle: Do the keys show any effect in a program such as xev? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu4shane | Doyle: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts | 03:05 |
| Serebro | soreau: I'm at /media/4f3b0f89-561e-41d7-85f9-90ada3b1e387/var/log, should get the right file by just getting messages now. ;) | 03:05 |
| Doyle | ubuntu4shane: tried that, any other ideas? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu4shane | Doyle: have you already been there? when you press the media keys do they register? | 03:05 |
| soreau | Serebro: right. | 03:05 |
| ubuntu4shane | Doyle: try what soreau suggested, xev. | 03:06 |
| Doyle | soreau: yea, xev shows keyboard activity | 03:06 |

| phil__ | yeah im on it, so what's this telling me? | 03:12 |
| coz_ | guys I have to break here...be back in a bit | 03:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: The fact that it's working on a live cd and not on the hard drive installation simply indicates a broken installation | 03:12 |
| coz_ | phil__, nevermid if you are in the channel | 03:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: However it's strange if it does not work after you've reinstalled it. | 03:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: I think it's possible that you installed fresh but never actually booted into that fresh installation | 03:13 |
| soreau | Serebro: Since you left the faulty installation around, you probably just booted into that one again </suspecting> | 03:13 |

| OY1R | ubuntu4shane: i never noticed the effect running Windows, and i have observed it in older versions of ubuntu aswell, | 03:19 |
| ubuntu4shane | OY1R: hmmm, if it is that much of a bother to you you can try proprietary drivers, but probably not the most recommended thing | 03:19 |
| pietro10 | Hi. I want to share files between Ubuntu and Mac OS X 10.5, however the only guides I can find are from 2006. Does 10.10 have a preferred way of doing this? Thanks. | 03:19 |

| ubottu | OY1R: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:19 |
| OY1R | it's like Ubuntu does not have enough power/time to decode/display the very dynamic video | 03:19 |
| pietro10 | (I won't b eupgrading to 10.6 until I can get some tools to open up my computer and swap out the hard drive) | 03:20 |
| ubuntu4shane | OY1R: being you have ATI it is probably driver related, | 03:20 |
| OY1R | Ok | 03:20 |
| OY1R | it's not that big an issue but i just wanted to ask. | 03:20 |
| soreau | Serebro: Upgrades are generally problematic from my experience with ubuntu. I suspect if you change all instances of 'lucid' to 'maverick' (preferably using a auto-replace feature in a text editor) and re-run 'apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade', it's possible you will get a working system | 03:20 |
| ubuntu4shane | OY1R: personally I don't like ATI or their drivers for Linux, although they have greatly improved of late, I too have ATI | 03:21 |
| phil__ | errrm | 03:21 |
| ubuntu4shane | OY1R: I also have a Nvidia, and seems to be easier all around. | 03:21 |

| soreau | Serebro: Either way, I think you will figure it out ;) | 03:22 |

| Johnny420 | Enter text here...so I installed ubuntu for the first time now what!!! | 03:24 |
| pietro10 | phil__: did you install the nVidia drivers from System > Administration > Additional Drivers ? | 03:24 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: The ATI brand name is no more. It is now simply 'Radeon'. Also the drivers are better than nvidia drivers despite the past situation. AMD bought ATI and opened hw specs officially, also hiring developers to work full time on the radeon graphics drivers for linux | 03:24 |
| craigbass1976 | Is there something like the old xwing game for ubuntu? | 03:24 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Now is the time to invest in radeon hardware if you're using linux. | 03:25 |
| pietro10 | craigbass1976: try looking in the ubuntu software center | 03:25 |
| pietro10 | search for xwing and you could probably find something | 03:25 |
| pietro10 | hell, maybe Synaptic Package Manager has a "xwing" package too | 03:25 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: wow, that is all news to me, I learned to hate ATI with this laptop. Spent nearly 2 years that it was not usable on Linux. And I'm no noob. | 03:25 |
| soreau | Serebro: Best of wishes | 03:25 |
| phil__ | pietro18 i went into hardware drivers and it said the latest one i have is installed i think | 03:25 |
| phil__ | i just did was Coz told me too, didnt have a clue what it was :P | 03:26 |
| pietro10 | go back into that menu then | 03:26 |
| phil__ | which one? | 03:26 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: I did hear that things had improved, but it will take a long time to get over that very bad taste that was left in my mouth. | 03:26 |
| phil__ | i cant find additional drivers | 03:26 |
| Serebro | soreau: seriously on the Radeon? I've been thinking about a graphics card, but couldn't find an Nvidia that wasn't showing up with lots of problems. | 03:26 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Yea, I've had my lowly 9600 for about 7 years now and in the 4 years using linux I've witnessed the radeon driver changes first hand and the people working on the radeon driver are nothing short of amazing | 03:27 |

| soreau | The gallium drivers will be showing up in ubuntu by default soon and before you know it, we'll all be using wayland display server | 03:28 |
| obsidieth | my uh, xorg is restarting soon as i type in my name to login | 03:28 |
| obsidieth | i suppose one of my login scripts is breaking. but am unsure how to get in and access it | 03:28 |
| obsidieth | changing the session to recovery console yields a similar result. | 03:28 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Yea, it's all very new and a work in progress but downstream can't keep up with all the progress happening upstream | 03:28 |
| ubuntu4shane | obsidieth: you can probably log in via tty | 03:28 |
| obsidieth | its a vm, i cant ctrl+shift f1 or anything | 03:29 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: that is very good news | 03:29 |
| obsidieth | as it executes that command on the host os not the guest. | 03:29 |
| soreau | If you want to test new radeon drivers, use the latest version of ubuntu with xorg-edgers repo installed and mesa-dri-experimental (or use Fedora, since that's what the radeon devs use) | 03:29 |
| ubuntu4shane | obsidieth: eww, not sure about that, I don't mess with vm's much | 03:29 |
| obsidieth | mmm | 03:29 |
| CrimsonIdol | obsidieth, SHIFT during boot for the grub menu | 03:29 |
| obsidieth | i need to boot straight to recovery console i suppose | 03:29 |
| obsidieth | ok | 03:30 |
| Flynsarmy | Are they ever planning on fixing the lucid nautilus bug where the entire file highlights when renaming instead of all minus extension when in list view? | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | straight into recovery mode CrimsonIdol ? | 03:30 |
| soreau | obsidieth: You have a radeon card? | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | nah. | 03:30 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: really! Fedora! that is one of the few I didn't install before, never really felt the love for fedora. :) | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | 8500gt. | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | its not the drivers, its something my user profile is executing on boot | 03:30 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Me neither but that's what the radeon top men use mostly ;) | 03:30 |
| CrimsonIdol | obsidieth, you'll get the grub menu... choose recovery mode | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | yeah i got a root shell | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | didnt know about the shift shjortcut | 03:30 |
| obsidieth | just gotta find whats breaking it now | 03:31 |
| obsidieth | .profile perhaps? | 03:31 |
| FloodBot1 | obsidieth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:31 |
| soreau | obsidieth: So it's nvidia? | 03:31 |
| obsidieth | that is correct. but thats not the issue. | 03:31 |
| CrimsonIdol | obsidieth, dmesg | 03:31 |
| ubuntu4shane | obsidieth: if you can at the grub line there used to be a way to only boot to init 3 which will dump you to command line, but if it is in your .profile, it is going to load even logging in via cli | 03:31 |
| obsidieth | .xsession-errors | 03:31 |
| obsidieth | its a damn broken .profile | 03:31 |
| obsidieth | :/ | 03:31 |
| pietro10 | phil__: ? | 03:31 |
| obsidieth | easy fix at least. | 03:32 |
| mike | how do I change my boot order? | 03:32 |
| ubuntu4shane | obsidieth: yes, if you put the script in .profile then that is where the prob is. | 03:32 |
| === mike is now known as Guest294 | ||
| === Guest294 is now known as gyyrog | ||
| CrimsonIdol | mike, #grub | 03:32 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: I may have to check out Fedora then, but I'm pretty content with the way Ubuntu is running on this now, no overheats anymore. | 03:33 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: I'm too lazy to learn rpm stuff, I'm 100% Ubuntu user, and sold on deb packaging. | 03:33 |
| obsidieth | ubuntu4shane: i erroneously mirrored .bashrc to .profile | 03:33 |
| ubuntu4shane | obsidieth: yep, that will kill an install. | 03:33 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: The radeon developers have determined that there is more power management code in the proprietary windoze drivers than the entire radeon linux driver stack | 03:33 |
| obsidieth | do you guys use empahty? | 03:34 |
| obsidieth | empathy. | 03:34 |
| Zorlin | the IM client, yeah? | 03:34 |
| obsidieth | had any problems connecting to msn with it? | 03:34 |
| pietro10 | I know people had problems connecting to the latest pidgin update with it a few days ago | 03:35 |
| phil__ | im back | 03:35 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: yes, I witnessed that first hand, I only get about 45-50 min battery life with this beast, powertop reports 29w or something like that, it did drop a lot with 10.10, it was always 35w before. | 03:35 |
| pietro10 | so now it's on Empathy too? huh. | 03:35 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: So they have a long way to go but with AMD providing specs and other intimate hardware information and hiring folks to work full time on the radeon driver, the sky is the limit now ;) | 03:35 |
| obsidieth | pidgins ssl cert is broken, or microsofts is. | 03:35 |
| netwrkspider | i m ack | 03:35 |
| netwrkspider | back | 03:35 |
| phil__ | <pietro10>, i couldnt find the additional drivers | 03:35 |
| obsidieth | i think im almost set now. | 03:35 |
| netwrkspider | Phil: for wht | 03:35 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: that is really good news, because I really grow to hate ATI, and almost swore I would never buy another, I learned a very valuable lesson, try before you buy. :) | 03:36 |

| netwrkspider | i need guide for setup own cloud | 03:36 |
| phil__ | played world of warcraft on XP, was fine + good graphic settings and performance | 03:37 |
| phil__ | but now im on ubuntu its bad | 03:37 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Well you can't always try everything, you can't always rely on user reviews and you can't always know everything and who's working on what. With linux, you take the good with the bad I guess. The best part is, you have the power to make a difference ;) | 03:37 |
| phil__ | lower framerate | 03:37 |
| turtle143 | hey, i installed ubuntu on a compaq laptop designed for vista, and it has a button used for locking the touchpad. the button doesnt work on ubuntu, and i'd like to use it as a middle button, because my touchpad doesnt have one and a few apps i want to use require it. is there any way to set that up? | 03:37 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: yes, and google is your friend. ;) I guess research before you buy is the other lesson. | 03:38 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: I don't know if the -opengl option used for warcraft3.exe applies to worldofwarcraft, care to try? | 03:38 |
| soreau | phil__: You can't compare a game that runs natively in one OS to the same game that runs in a simulated environment on another OS with different drivers | 03:38 |
| phil__ | i know, but i was wondering if there was any way to improve performance at all | 03:38 |
| netwrkspider | any one guide me to setup up own private cloud | 03:38 |
| Sonja | does 10.10 come with Java installed in it? | 03:39 |
| ubuntu4shane | turtle143: this isn't a fix, but on a laptop if you press both buttons together, it acts like a middle button | 03:39 |
| netwrkspider | i have 3 4u server | 03:39 |
| soreau | phil__: The good news is that the open driver developers are implementing DirectX10/11 to run these games natively instead of having to use wine | 03:39 |
| glitchd | can someone help me to get cheese working?...ubuntu 10 | 03:39 |
| ubuntu4shane | turtle143: it would take editing xorg and stuff, I'm not good at that stuff. | 03:39 |
| turtle143 | ubuntu4shane: never knew that, thanks | 03:39 |
| glitchd | *ubuntu 10.04 | 03:39 |
| phil__ | soreau, just so you know, when it comes to OS and programs, im completely new + useless | 03:39 |
| soreau | glitchd: Not if you don't tell us what's wrong with it | 03:39 |
| Serebro | soreau: got logged into a graphical session that's not a LiveCD. Will only allow a partial upgrade. | 03:39 |
| phil__ | so i dont know much about what that means :( | 03:40 |
| glitchd | soreau, it opens then before it even shows the webcam pic, it closes | 03:40 |
| turtle143 | ubuntu4shane: me neither, and someone told me that on linuxhelp | 03:40 |
| ubuntu4shane | turtle143: another Linux tip, highlighting text and then clicking the middle button, will paste that text wherever you click. :) | 03:40 |
| soreau | phil__: Basically you're trying to compare apples to oranges. WoW and other DirectX games can only run in wine on linux as of now | 03:40 |
| goobar | netwrkspider, I think I just read an article in Linux Journal about making yer own Cloud | 03:40 |
| phil__ | but im running wow from openGL right? | 03:40 |
| phil__ | and on xp, i was running it with directx?, so thats my problem why im having worse performance? | 03:41 |
| soreau | phil__: Yes, ultimately linux only uses opengl as of now but the game is written using directX (and for windows). So wine has to take every single call and transform it into something the opengl / glx nvidia driver can understand | 03:42 |
| bobby_ | happy thanksgiving can anybody help me get my video drivers back i put an older version how do i install the newer version back? | 03:42 |
| soreau | phil__: So you're just not going to get the same performance | 03:42 |
| soreau | bobby_: Sounds like you're using nvidia? | 03:42 |
| phil__ | its barely playable i'd say | 03:43 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Did you explicitly specify run with opengl? If not wine is still interpretting each directx call into opengl.. | 03:43 |
| goobar | ubuntu4shane, Yes, good tip. I ran across it by accident in Terminal, you can right click in Term to select Copy then middle button paste it elsewhere | 03:43 |
| bobby_ | nope its a sis card on laptop | 03:43 |
| soreau | ouch | 03:43 |
| bobby_ | yea | 03:43 |
| glitchd | soreau, any ideas? | 03:43 |
| soreau | phil__: Perhaps you should try asking in #winehq | 03:43 |
| phil__ | Im struggling to understand some of these definitions unfrotunatly... i duno | 03:43 |
| ubuntu4shane | goobar: all you need to do is highlight the text really, the last highlighted text is then pasted on middle click, but somehow it avoids the clipboard! :) | 03:44 |
| will12337 | Hello all | 03:44 |
| soreau | glitchd: Did you run it in a terminal and look for interesting messages when it crashes? | 03:44 |
| phil__ | coz tryed finding out weather my graphics card was out of date or needed upgrading but, had to go | 03:44 |
| phil__ | or something just to improve performance, weather it be just a program to temporarily stop procceses that i dont need or | 03:45 |
| phil__ | something along them lines | 03:45 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: I'm wondering regarding WoW.. how are you launching it? (Supposedly when running in openGL mode it's supposed to give very good performance...) | 03:45 |
| glitchd | soreau, http://pastie.org/1326985 | 03:45 |
| soreau | phil__: The fact is, if it runs as expected in windoze, in theory, it's possible to get the same performance. But since you're running a game specifically designed for one environment in an entirely different environment, it's just not going to be the same | 03:45 |
| will12337 | I need to demo FOSS to elementary kids in 8 1 hour blocks, any ideas on where to start? | 03:45 |
| soreau | phil__: You can try installing windoze in a virtual machine then installing the game in that but no idea if that would make a difference. Better to ask the wine folks (in #winehq) | 03:46 |
| phil__ | I just opened wow.exe with wine launcher and it does every time now so, i assume this OpenGL thing yes? | 03:46 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: thanks again for that info, I'm off for the night. | 03:46 |
| phil__ | installing windows? =/ i wouldnt have a clue how to do it | 03:46 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: I'm doubting it, unless it has an explicit rule for wow.exe | 03:47 |
| netwrkspider | y windows guys coming here | 03:47 |
| netwrkspider | Windows sucks | 03:47 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Please try this.. Open a terminal, 'cd' into your wow directory and run wow with "wine wow.exe -opengl" | 03:47 |
| goobar | they want to escape the horror of Mr. Bill | 03:47 |
| soreau | glitchd: Hmm.. it's obviously segfaulting. The only thing I can really suggest is filing a bug for cheese. Have you tried a different webcam program to make sure the camera driver is working at all? | 03:48 |
| phil__ | and see if it makes any diffrence? oki doki, will do, | 03:48 |
| netwrkspider | lol | 03:48 |
| phil__ | oh wait what | 03:48 |
| glitchd | soreau, the webcam works in windows and in skype on linux | 03:48 |
| phil__ | how the hell do i open wow.exe with open gl :S | 03:48 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: ... too confusing? | 03:48 |
| glitchd | soreau, so im thinking, yes, a bug | 03:48 |
| phil__ | i little, step by step please? =/ | 03:48 |
| ub20 | wow is not windows heh, lot of gamers want wow working well with linux and whine is the way to got it work | 03:48 |
| phil__ | i dont do commands or terminals, like i said, completely new to ubuntu | 03:49 |
| soreau | phil__: He's saying run 'cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WoW (or wherever it is), and then running "wine wow.exe -opengl" | 03:49 |
| glitchd | soreau, what other webcam progs are there? | 03:49 |

| ejm | I'm using an HDMI cable to connect to my Sony TV, which the picture works, but there's tearing when I play anything. | 03:51 |
| soreau | phil__: You have to try. 'cd' means change directory. It's a command you run in your terminal. For example to get to your pictures folder, open a terminal and run 'cd ~/Pictures' | 03:51 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: ... use the menu editor with a right click on the application button.. | 03:51 |

| Diamondcite | soreau: I get the feeling phil still has a phobia of terminals. | 03:52 |
| Serebro | *nod diamondcite | 03:52 |
| ejm | I did one last night from 9.04. But the tearing was there before the upgrade. | 03:52 |
| bobby_ | why does ubuntu says i'm not the owner when i installed it | 03:52 |
| soreau | Diamondcite: Not surprising coming from a WoW head | 03:52 |
| goobar | techbreak, that should be an option when you install yer Ubuntu server | 03:52 |
| ejm | There's a way to fix it, but it needs xorg.conf, which Ubuntu doesn't use anymore Serebro | 03:53 |
| Flynsarmy | Are they ever planning on fixing the lucid nautilus bug where the entire file highlights when renaming instead of all minus extension when in list view? | 03:53 |
| phil__ | LOL.....i dont see what you want me to do =/ | 03:53 |
| phil__ | honestly, im trying but | 03:53 |
| soreau | ejm: Ubuntu and X.org respects settings in xorg.conf | 03:53 |
| Serebro | ejm: talk to soreau--he just helped me out on mine | 03:53 |
| phil__ | you may as well of wrote, "go into dhaslhdkajbn djkan" | 03:53 |
| soreau | ejm: It's just that X is now smart enough to guess correct settings for open drivers so it doesn't need one | 03:54 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Okay.. can you open an "Explorer" window atleast and goto the folder WOW is installed at? | 03:54 |
| Diamondcite | (Please don't shoot me.. yet) | 03:54 |
| phil__ | explorer window....rofl...wtf is that??? | 03:54 |
| soreau | Serebro: Did you get anywhere with your installation yet? | 03:54 |
| phil__ | i can go to wow folder yes | 03:54 |
| phil__ | its on my external hard drive | 03:55 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Linux terms gets you lost.. windows terms don't make sense either.. which one are you from x.x | 03:55 |

| Serebro | soreau: got booted into a graphical desktop, which at least helps me get the new release version DL'd and burned...but it's going to take an hour to finish DL'ing, then the install time. | 03:56 |
| soreau | phil__: He did say that: <Diamondcite> phil__: Please try this.. Open a terminal, 'cd' into your wow directory and run wow with "wine wow.exe -opengl" | 03:56 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: (This.. is going to be a challenge), Please browse to the folder where wow is and look for the folder known as "WTF" and the file known as "Config.wtf" | 03:56 |
| soreau | Serebro: Ah ok | 03:56 |
| Serebro | soreau: so...I'm hanging out to try and pick up a little more knowledge. ;) | 03:56 |

| goobar | spivwak, Yes, try busybox, its small footprint distro for dinosaurs | 03:57 |
| ejm | hmm, there wasn't an xorg.conf file anywhere. It also doesn't help that some of the keys don't work on it, like the P - " and / | 03:57 |
| phil__ | Ok, it contains some basic detail config, as standard | 03:57 |
| soreau | ejm: What problem are you having? | 03:57 |
| ejm | luckily I was smart enough to try xvkbd | 03:57 |
| glitchd | soreau, is it possible to use a previous version of cheese and have it work? | 03:58 |

| phil__ | ? | 03:58 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Please see if there is a line that looks like (SET gxApi "opengl") without the brackets. | 03:58 |
| soreau | glitchd: Sure | 03:58 |
| glitchd | soreau, how would i go about getting an older version? | 03:58 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Ah yes.. so it's already set to opengl x.x, how about max fps? | 03:58 |

| glitchd | soreau, ok, thx | 03:59 |
| spivwak | thanks | 03:59 |
| glitchd | soreau, much appreciation | 03:59 |
| phil__ | cant find max FPS here anywhere mate | 03:59 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Please drop that to 20 to 30 fps (25 should be very good for most already) | 03:59 |
| phil__ | hmm...25-30 is my problem :O | 04:00 |
| soreau | glitchd: But the best way IMO would be to upgrade by building yourself, provided you are absolutely sure the problem is with cheese and not with your webcam drivers | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Too many details for me to go through.. really.. please read the detailed HOWTO at appDB. | 04:00 |
| soreau | *shrug* | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Why is 30 fps bad? | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | phil__: Can you see more than that with your own eyes? | 04:00 |
| phil__ | well, it isnt but | 04:00 |
| ejm | how do I find out which driver I'm using now? | 04:00 |

| thechitowncubs | Linux or Gnome or whoever should implement a night color palette so its easier on the eyes | 04:04 |
| calamity | Sorry about that, I haven't been on IRC in a while... | 04:04 |
| thechitowncubs | Someone should help me code that | 04:04 |
| thechitowncubs | haha | 04:04 |
| soreau | Serebro: Of course 'ls' is for listing file and directory information while lsusb lists devices on the USB bus | 04:04 |
| soreau | thechitowncubs: Compiz has a 'Negative' plugin that can invert all colors | 04:04 |
| Serebro | soreau: I was pretty sure ls was list. :) just trying to get a couple more pieces of the puzzle that is command-line stuff figured out. | 04:04 |
| coz_ | Sean93, try sudo mv nameoffolder nameoffolder....how many do you want to move? | 04:04 |
| thechitowncubs | soreau: end of discussion | 04:04 |
| coz_ | ?? | 04:05 |
| Serebro | thechitowncubs: Check out the ubuntustudio default setup--dark grays. | 04:05 |
| soreau | Serebro: lspci and lsusb are invaluable for identifying hardware connected to your system | 04:06 |
| Sean93 | coz_, 4. i want to do it in one command. folder1 and folder2 to folder3 | 04:06 |
| goobar | Serebro, You can use manpages too to try to figure out any commands you use and any of their respective flags | 04:06 |
| Serebro | soreau: I've used lsusb before, getting my gamepad to work and troubleshooting a usb headset. | 04:06 |
| soreau | Sean93: mv folder1 folder3 && mv folder2 folder3 | 04:07 |
| astroguy | "/join #freenode " | 04:07 |
| [thor] | Serebro: you can also try "[command] --help" for quick help | 04:07 |
| calamity | Basically, I have shared my music folder and nothing appears on either Network folder. | 04:07 |
| ejm | ok, now I'm getting random screen flickering | 04:07 |
| soreau | Serebro: Ah, fun times. I built an interface circuit for my controllers and fixed the linux driver (and later added rumble support for it ;) | 04:07 |
| ejm | I wonder if XP would work on this. | 04:08 |
| soreau | ejm: What does 'lspci|grep VGA' say? | 04:08 |
| Serebro | soreau: nice--I don't think the rumble support's available yet, is it? | 04:08 |
| soreau | Serebro: There is no 'the rumble support'. Force feedback is specific to each and every device that has such a fefature | 04:09 |
| soreau | feature* | 04:09 |
| coz_ | Sean93, generally what I do is not from command line other thatn gksudo nautilus and simply highlight and move the files I am probably get flack for saying that :) | 04:09 |
| * soreau flacks coz_ across the knuckles | 04:09 | |
| coz_ | lol | 04:10 |
| Sean93 | lol | 04:10 |
| coz_ | Sean93, see I told you :) | 04:10 |
| ejm | hold on...It's coming. | 04:10 |
| soreau | Serebro: So far as the linux kernel is concerned, it definitely has force feedback support for all kinds of input devices | 04:10 |
| calamity | hm, ssh isn't connecting either | 04:10 |
| coz_ | Sean93, but I dot it all the time | 04:11 |
| coz_ | Sean93, it is faster ,, easier... and I have never had any issues with it | 04:11 |
| soreau | coz_: You also reinstall ubuntu all the time too | 04:11 |
| ejm | soreau 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 04:11 |
| goobar | learning the command line may seem tedious work but well worth knowing, and there are many things you can do with it that a GUI can't | 04:11 |
| coz_ | soreau, :) only when necessary | 04:11 |
| Serebro | soreau: sometime, I'll ask you how to enable it for a Logitech RumblePad 2 (USB, wired) | 04:11 |
| soreau | ejm: Which version of ubuntu are you using? | 04:11 |
| dutchmens | hai | 04:11 |
| ejm | 10.04 64-bit | 04:12 |
| soreau | Serebro: I might not be here sometime :P | 04:12 |

| StrangeCharm | how can i recompile the gnu utilities with large file support? i need to cp a Large file. | 04:12 |
| soreau | ejm: Naturally, I'd recommend upgrading to 10.10 first (or at least testing with a 10.10 live image) | 04:12 |
| ejm | I did do an upgrade from 9.04 due to there not being support for 9.04. | 04:12 |
| dutchmens | wanna triple boot ubuntu xp and backtrack | 04:13 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, how large is this file? | 04:13 |
| stellarnight | !ubuntu | 04:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 04:13 |
| dutchmens | swap for triple boot | 04:13 |
| soreau | Isn't there a sync utility for copying large files? | 04:13 |
| stellarnight | !! | 04:13 |
| soreau | dutchmens: And? | 04:13 |
| ejm | ok...will try that. so I must not be alone with this stupid little problem? | 04:14 |
| coz_ | dutchmens, windows first backtrack then ubuntu for ease if installation | 04:14 |
| najwa | good morning ... | 04:14 |
| dutchmens | when i loaded ubuntu and back track the grub just crashed | 04:14 |
| StrangeCharm | the files i'm trying to move are actually only a couple of megabytes, i don't think that any of them are more than 2gb, but they all have their size written as large (as in, more than a signed 32-bit int) | 04:14 |
| soreau | ejm: intel graphics driver support is hit and miss but the general goal of the developers is to improve things constantly, so upgrading should ultimately make things better, ideally | 04:14 |
| goobar | soreau, rsync I think it is, tho I've never used it | 04:14 |
| StrangeCharm | soreau, is there? what is it? | 04:15 |
| coz_ | dutchmens, that's odd...did you check with the #grub peopel...yes? | 04:15 |
| dutchmens | k thanks cozz | 04:15 |
| ejm | yeah, I've despised Intel graphics forever, but the laptop was free, so I can't complain. | 04:15 |
| soreau | StrangeCharm: You might want to escalate this question to ##linux since it seems that it isn't ubuntu-specific | 04:15 |
| FyreFoX | hi I seem to be having issues updating the firmware on my iphone via virtualbox. I believe the problem is with usbmuxd where do I go for support for this problem please? | 04:15 |
| dutchmens | now i 'll check with that way | 04:15 |
| meowz | how can i disable the verbose that shopt -s autocd enables? | 04:16 |
| Sean93 | soreau, i need some help understanding this "mv folder1 folder3 && mv folder2 folder3" what is there were 4 folders? folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 to folder5. how would it be written? | 04:16 |
| soreau | FyreFoX: That's a loaded question. Try ##hardware or ##linux | 04:16 |
| meowz | how can i play live video in linux without a web browser? | 04:16 |
| FyreFoX | it did work in ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10 but now in 10.10 I am having problems | 04:16 |
| coz_ | Sean93, sudo mv folder 1 folder 2 folder3 /usr/share folder 4 | 04:16 |
| twoten | my new htpc is feeding my old tv set, how can I enable the xorg virtual desktop so I can scroll around a larger screen? | 04:16 |
| coz_ | Sean93, sorry that would be sudo move folde1 folder 2 folder 3 /usr/share/folder4 | 04:17 |
| sparrW | is there a channel for netbook remix? | 04:17 |
| airtonix | msn is super annoying at the moment. | 04:17 |
| coz_ | Sean93, of co urse it may not be in /usr/share | 04:17 |
| soreau | Sean93: Essentially you're just running a series of commands. 'mv folder1 folder3' takes folder1 and moves it into folder3. You could get fancier depending on your situation with advanced bash, but I'm not sure about your particular situation. The && just says run the next command if the first returns without error | 04:17 |
| coz_ | sparkie, I am not sure let me check | 04:17 |
| Serebro | airtonix: I had to disable mine a week or so ago--kept logging me out immediately. | 04:18 |
| will12337 | join#linux | 04:18 |
| will12337 | oops | 04:18 |
| soreau | Was there ever a time when msn wasn't super annoying? | 04:18 |
| coz_ | sparkie, I dont see one specifically for that | 04:18 |
| daddy | hey | 04:19 |
| daddy | just installed 10.10 | 04:19 |
| coz_ | will12337, that may be ##linux | 04:19 |
| Sean93 | soreau, ah i see, i was wondering if there was a way to tell mv that the first 4 folders were the source and that folder 5 was the destination, without tying folder5 4 times | 04:19 |
| daddy | and dvd moview will not play | 04:19 |
| daddy | any solutions. | 04:19 |
| Serebro | soreau: it at least used to work more regularly. :p | 04:19 |
| goobar | m$n | 04:19 |
| * soreau wouldn't know since he's never been plagued to use it | 04:19 | |
| coz_ | daddy, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:19 |
| soreau | ! dvd | daddy | 04:19 |
| ubottu | daddy: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:19 |
| StrangeCharm | soreau, except it seems that the autoconf on ubuntu has chosen to compile the gnu utils without large file support | 04:20 |
| coz_ | daddy, then run this command * | 04:20 |
| coz_ | sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 04:20 |
| soreau | Sean93: Like I said, depending on your situation, you could use bash syntax to get more advanced and automate the process a bit better | 04:20 |
| soreau | StrangeCharm: File a bug? | 04:20 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, did you say how large this file was? | 04:22 |
| soreau | StrangeCharm: Are you working with samba by chance? | 04:22 |
| StrangeCharm | soreau, that would be swell, but not resolve the issue. if i filed a bug every time something squiffy happened, i wouldn't have great uptime | 04:23 |

| goobar | doesn't lauchpad have a bugzilla thing? | 04:24 |
| soreau | ! ask | meowz | 04:24 |
| ubottu | meowz: 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. :-) | 04:24 |
| StrangeCharm | coz_, a few megs, not actually 2gb, but with sizes listed by the filesystem in large format | 04:24 |
| === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, I have move over 5 gig files from one drive including ntfs to ext4 with no isses | 04:24 |
| coz_ | issues | 04:24 |
| ferris_ | hey, which fs should I use when installing ubuntu 10.10? ext4 or reseirs4? | 04:24 |
| rww | ferris_: ext4 | 04:24 |
| idstealth | I stick to ext4 | 04:24 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, are you sure the drive you want to move it to has the room? | 04:25 |
| soreau | StrangeCharm: The bug report would be filed against ubuntu so they could address the problem. If you don't care about filing a bug but just want it to work, I suggest asking in ##linux. Perhaps get some information about the file(s) with 'stat' | 04:25 |
| meowz | soreau: i asked it already, scroll up pls is long | 04:25 |
| CrimsonIdol | Logged in as a non-sudoer, why do some administrative tasks ask for admin password and others do not accept any password for access? | 04:25 |
| soreau | <meowz> how can i play live video in linux without a web browser? | 04:25 |
| CrimsonIdol | Login Screen (for example) will ask for and accept admin password from non-sudoer user. Synaptics will not. | 04:25 |
| airtonix | StrangeCharm, make sure you're not trying to move a ready only file. | 04:26 |
| soreau | meowz: What 'live video' are you referring to? | 04:26 |
| StrangeCharm | airflow, i'm using cp | 04:26 |
| Serebro | CrimsonIdol: doesn't it authenticate you for 5 min or something? | 04:26 |
| StrangeCharm | * airtonix i'm using cp | 04:26 |
| ferris_ | ok, cool. thanks. I am going to do some reading on it.... I am reading an old Linux + Certification book but is mostly focused on RH and I really wanted to know what is CURRENTLY being installed. I too installed ext4 but I am not completely knowledgeable on the benefits or risks of using ext4. thanks for the input. | 04:27 |
| soreau | CrimsonIdol: First, you shouldn't log in as root in the first place. You could damage your users permissions | 04:27 |
| goobar | AppArmor protects certain areas in the system that non-sudoers aren't allowed | 04:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | Serebro, no, no, that's not what I mean. | 04:27 |
| airtonix | StrangeCharm, so you've confirmed that problem is not because of source or destination permissions & ownership | 04:27 |
| idstealth | StrangeCharm, I am running dual-boot, my linux system is ext4, windows is ntfs. There's no trouble at ALL in transferring files back and forth between partitions. Are you transferring between partitions or 2 seperate hard drives? | 04:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | soreau, not the problem. | 04:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | not logged in as root | 04:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | Login Screen (for example) will ask for and accept admin password from non-sudoer user. Synaptics will not. | 04:28 |
| meowz | soreau: any live stream from ustream.tv | 04:28 |
| StrangeCharm | airtonix, i believe so: i'm using cp as root | 04:28 |
| soreau | CrimsonIdol: Yes but logging in as root can damage things, even after you relog-in as user | 04:28 |
| CrimsonIdol | soreau, not logging in as root | 04:28 |
| majnoon | here a thought to lighten the mood :: if had faster connection could prob watch my tv card through RDP (but no have remote that would change the channel from 30 miles away) | 04:29 |
| syn-ack | soreau, Using sudo can do damage too. your point is moot. | 04:29 |
| vic20gmr | soreau, what was the video driver name you mentioned to me called? mesa-experimental or something like that? im not sure i remeber corrctly, andim talking to someone in #radeon | 04:29 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, sorry to make you repeat if you have explained this...from which drive <, where is it located ie another system ,, a partition ..and external driver? | 04:29 |
| StrangeCharm | idstealth, i'm moving files between two physical disks. i was trying to copy all the files from the ntfs disk to the ext4 one, but some of them give me this error, | 04:29 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, whenever you change system files you must put in your admin password, but if you are only changing user preferences you do not | 04:29 |
| drewbert | I have headphones in the cases front audio connector and speakers in the rear connector, I can only seem to get sound to come out of both or neither in the audio preferences dialog, is there any way to fix this? | 04:29 |
| soreau | syn-ack: Logging in as root can be far more detrimental | 04:29 |
| glitchd | all of a sudden my webcam is only showing in black and white.. | 04:29 |
| idstealth | StrangeCharm: try using nautilus. Graphical is easier. are your drives networked? | 04:29 |
| glitchd | i need a fix for that | 04:30 |
| glitchd | please | 04:30 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, why would non-sudoer be allowed to make changes to Login Screen and such? | 04:30 |
| coz_ | glitchd, which applicaton are you using | 04:30 |
| syn-ack | Don't give me that. It's all a bunch of bull. anything that requires credentials can be detrimental. | 04:30 |
| twoten | Is it possible to set xorg to output a resolution of 705x480 to my tv set? | 04:30 |
| StrangeCharm | coz_, i'm trying to copy files from an ntfs partition mounted with truecrypt on a usb disk to an ext4 filesystem on an encrypted volume on another usb disk | 04:30 |
| glitchd | i noticed it in skype | 04:30 |
| glitchd | coz_, i noticed it in skype | 04:30 |
| StrangeCharm | idstealth, i only stopped using nautilus when i started getting this error. both drives are phyically attached via usb | 04:30 |
| glitchd | coz_, i dont have any other webcam prog either | 04:31 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, oh it encrypted !!! mmm I may not have the understanding to deal with that situation | 04:31 |
| glitchd | coz_, i also noticed that cheese wasnt working so i removed, then it started doin this | 04:31 |
| twoten | can anyone hear me? | 04:31 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: Run 'apt-cache search gallium' | 04:31 |
| goobar | drewbert, have you tried typing 'alsamixer' in your Terminal? | 04:31 |
| coz_ | glitchd, ok does skype have plugins or options to change how the video is rendered? like "invert colors" "negative" etc etc | 04:31 |
| idstealth | StrangeCharm: Yep the encryption is messing things up for sure, I'm not too knowledgeable about encryption so I'm sorry I can't help. Good luck though! | 04:31 |
| coz_ | glitchd, you may have accidentally ticked the black and white option | 04:32 |
| soreau | vic20gmr: It's libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental | 04:32 |
| glitchd | coz_, idk, but i didnt change anything, it just started to randomly do this | 04:32 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, "non-sudoer" does not make sense to me... but what I will say is that my kids do not have abilities to change system settings/files but they are still asked for a password if they attempt to change something... | 04:32 |
| StrangeCharm | coz_, idstealth is it likely to be a problem on the source or the destination drive? also: since the driver is lower-level, why would cp be giving this error? | 04:32 |
| === Look is now known as Guest85127 | ||

| glitchd | not so far, this just started happening in the last 10 mins, and i have restarted x2 already | 04:33 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, Login Screen for example will show the name of the admin and ask for his/her password... i'm thinking that's not right. | 04:33 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, not exactly sure with encrypted disks... I assume you needed to use a password for this ...yes? | 04:33 |
| idstealth | StrangeCharm: I have no clue, sorry! | 04:33 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, they are allowed to install games and such but are still required to have the admin password | 04:33 |
| drewbert | goobar: I'm a little confused as to what to do with it. When I modify front, both my headphones and my speakers change. They work separately in windows, so I know it's possible with my hardware configuration. | 04:34 |
| StrangeCharm | coz_, my keyring remembers the password. i connect the disk, and it mounts it for me | 04:34 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, are you saying they have the ability to edit the login screen? | 04:34 |
| drewbert | goobar: do you think there's maybe some sort of motherboard driver missing? | 04:34 |
| coz_ | StrangeCharm, however,,, if no one can help here at this particular moment...scoot over to ##linux channel...since this issue is a more generalized problem and they may have a few good hints with solutions | 04:34 |

| drewbert | twoten210: yes | 04:35 |
| goobar | drewbert, not necessarily. How drivers work in Window$ is different from Linux | 04:35 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, I am not sure why but have you checked their ability to "administer the system" in their permissions? | 04:35 |

| NewOne | glebihan tnx | 04:41 |
| goobar | NewOne, use 'top' to find the ps#, then 'sudo kill -9 pid#' like glebihan sez | 04:41 |

| coz_ | glitchd, ok looks like a logitech cam but that doesnt identify the model hold on | 04:44 |
| daddy | hi i am back | 04:44 |
| glitchd | coz_, ok | 04:44 |
| daddy | the dvd stil does not read | 04:45 |
| daddy | sorry it says could not read from source | 04:45 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferret_, what good is security if non-admins can admin? | 04:45 |
| daddy | yet i can open the dvd as it mounted on desktop | 04:45 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris --- | 04:45 |
| coz_ | glitchd, also is this a laptop you are using or a desktop? | 04:45 |
| Serebro | CrimsonIdol:they CAN'T admin, since they don't have the password. | 04:45 |

| Serebro | CrimsonIdol: once we get fingerprint and retinal scanners, that'll be less of an issue, but for now...strong passwords are where it's at. | 04:46 |

| coz_ | glitchd, ok and is this web cam built into the laptop or plugged into usb? | 04:46 |
| rootffggg | how can i create one connection dial-up to cell-phone? 3G | 04:46 |
| glitchd | coz_, and actually i think that the color setting are just off, almost like its just super bright | 04:46 |
| glitchd | coz_, its built in | 04:47 |
| soreau | ggc: maybe try #mono | 04:47 |
| coz_ | glitchd, ok again I would check in skype to see if the settings are there to adjust this first | 04:47 |
| aussa | hi, any of you has jdownloader? | 04:47 |
| === zetsubou is now known as ublender | ||
| dsnyders | Is there a program or command for "PEEKing" and "POKEing" a parallel port? | 04:48 |
| glitchd | coz_, no theres not | 04:48 |
| CrimsonIdol | Serebro, if you are a non-sudoer (non-admin), no password you type should allow admin access to whatever program is asking. Synaptics gets it right, some others do not. | 04:48 |
| glitchd | this has to be something in ubuntu | 04:48 |
| === Abhinav1 is now known as Abhinav1_ | ||
| coz_ | glitchd, mm hold on let me install skype to check | 04:48 |
| glitchd | coz_, this has to be something in ubuntu | 04:48 |
| glitchd | coz_, ok | 04:48 |
| rootffggg | nickname asktome | 04:48 |
| glitchd | coz_, btw im in ubuntu 10.04 | 04:48 |
| zanus | Why is it that instead of a graphical boot up splash screen... I only see a courier text based loading screen? | 04:49 |
| coz_ | glitchd, same here but I have always had issues with webcams on 10.04 | 04:49 |
| coz_ | glitchd, so hold on while this installs | 04:50 |
| glitchd | coz_, ok | 04:50 |
| glitchd | coz_, thx again for the efforts | 04:50 |
| glitchd | coz_, or thx period i mean..lol | 04:50 |
| Serebro | CrimsonIdol: In a university or corporate world, sometimes the tech just sits down at your desk and tweaks things on your computer from your account instead of having to switch users or run back to his office. | 04:50 |
| tecnico | dsnyders: http://yyao.ca/projects/ParallelPortLinux/ , or you may have better luck at #electronics , better chances somebody there knows other options for lpt | 04:50 |
| aussa | i installed jdownloader, and now i don't know how to start it | 04:50 |
| glitchd | coz_, something else i should probably mention, i was trying to find another cheese type program, i install one, dont remember the name of it, but uninstalled it almost immediately cuz i didnt like it. | 04:51 |
| CrimsonIdol | Serebro, that makes absolutely zero sense. | 04:51 |
| dsnyders | tecnico, Thanks for the website. I'll check it out. I wasn't aware of #electronics. Ill ask there as well. | 04:51 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, I see what you are saying now. Basically, a user that does not have the right to "administer the system" is able to make changes to the login screen but not install packages through synaptec. Granted any changes that are made are used by inputing root/admin password... still it seems as though Ubuntu should not allow for any system changes. | 04:52 |
| goobar | aussa, and you typed 'jdownloader' in the Terminal? | 04:53 |
| Serebro | *nod ferris* | 04:53 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, yes | 04:53 |
| coz_ | glitchd, hold on while it signs in | 04:53 |
| glitchd | coz_, ok | 04:53 |
| soreau | ! webcam | glitchd | 04:53 |
| ubottu | glitchd: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 04:53 |
| aussa | goobar: command not found | 04:53 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, I'm not sure what other Administrative programs follow Login Screens behaviour... | 04:54 |
| jags | hey I'm trying to get the burg manager but www.sourceslists.eu seems to be down, anyone know another place to find it? | 04:54 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, I will have to look into this further but I believe this is not a system change but a preferential change. | 04:54 |
| goobar | aussa, , then it might launch with something else. you must find what it is | 04:55 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, Login Screen even offers up the admins username... knowing the user someone could guess a password. | 04:55 |
| aussa | i found the folder | 04:55 |
| aussa | its hidden | 04:55 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, It may be that login should not be in Administration but Preferences... | 04:55 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | How would I log every single thing someone does on Ubuntu? (Like opening programs, going to pages, typing) | 04:56 |
| Zack | i installed ubuntu 10.10 yesterday on three different partitions (one each for swap, / and /home). I have since run into problems (regarding wireless) and have done a number of things I don't quite remember. I was instructed to install Ubuntu as such in order to facilitate an easy reinstall or upgrade. at this point would it be possible to 'repair' or reinstall ubuntu to its default config, | 04:56 |
| Zack | settings, etc, without doing a full reinstall by way of making use of the fact it that / and /home are on seperate partitions? | 04:56 |
| aussa | .jd | 04:56 |
| aussa | in home | 04:56 |
| aussa | but don't know what to do with it | 04:56 |
| Serebro | soreau: burning disc, bbiaf and let you know what happened when booting other install with tweaked sources.list | 04:57 |
| goobar | aussa, try 'apt-cache show jdownloader' to get info, or 'locate jdownloader |less' to see where files sit | 04:57 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, Users and Groups does the same thing... offers up admins username and asks for his/her password. | 04:57 |
| === root is now known as Guest87649 | ||
| soreau | Serebro: You have to run apt-get update/upgrade to get the effects of a changed sources.list file | 04:58 |
| glitchd | coz_, anything yet? | 04:58 |
| soreau | Serebro: And probably want to use apt-get dist-upgrade since you are upgrading the distro | 04:59 |
| coz_ | glitchd, not yet I am signed in but trying to get webcam set up with it | 04:59 |
| === Ganesh is now known as Guest98584 | ||
| glitchd | coz_, ok | 04:59 |
| Serebro | soreau: thanks, will do. Cd's about done, gonna reboot into rescue mode/root term and then apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade. *crosses fingers* | 05:00 |
| glebihan | aussa: are you sure you installed the application properly, I just installed it, and it starts with the "jdownloader" command | 05:00 |
| Krishnandu | Hey guys I'm trying to view a remote desktop of windows pc, but it says connection to host is closed | 05:00 |
| soreau | Krishnandu: On a LAN or across the web? | 05:00 |
| aussa | the second one shows the folder I've already found | 05:01 |
| goobar | aussa, Glebihan sez it works! | 05:01 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, seems that some administrative programs get it right and some offer up access if you know the admins password. Allowing admin access by non-admin user. | 05:02 |
| coz_ | glitchd, yeah I dont see any video settings at all in skype | 05:02 |
| Krishnandu | soreau, On LAN | 05:03 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: this should not be an issue, as you should not have an admin password | 05:03 |
| coz_ | glitchd, I think this has puzzled me...and I am not real up to date with webcam issues apparenlty | 05:03 |
| aussa | goobar: I used sh to installed it, did you do the same? | 05:03 |
| === VoX is now known as vox | ||
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, it is not allowing access by non-admin, because it requires the credentials of a root/admin account | 05:03 |
| zanus | anyone know how to get my bootsplash back to hi-res... all I did was update the system and it changed to low-res\ | 05:03 |
| ferris_ | still... probably a security bug | 05:04 |
| ferris_ | "bug" | 05:04 |
| glitchd | coz_, i think i may have figured a way to fix it actually | 05:04 |
| coz_ | glitchd, I would stick around an ask again or go to ##linux channel since this is not exactly specific to ubuntu but may be hardware related | 05:04 |
| CrimsonIdol | Glebelg, exactly. | 05:04 |
| glebihan | aussa: what do you mean by "used sh to install", did you install it from source or did you use a deb package ? | 05:04 |
| coz_ | glitchd, very cool ...what is your possible solution? | 05:04 |
| soreau | Krishnandu: I've used vncviewer in windoze to view a linux desktop and it worked but not the other way around.. | 05:04 |
| aussa | I downloaded a .sh file, and followed instructions | 05:04 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | How can I make Ubuntu log everything a user does (like go to websites and what s/he types and stuff)? | 05:04 |
| soreau | Krishnandu: It's probably just a settings issue, maybe try asking in #windows | 05:05 |
| ferris_ | has anyone installed the new stable kernel 2.6.36.1 and had issues with it? | 05:05 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, part of credentials is that other users should not know the admins password. | 05:05 |
| glebihan | aussa: well you'd better use a deb package, there's a ppa on launchpad for jdownloader : https://launchpad.net/~jd-team/+archive/jdownloader | 05:05 |
| Zack | i installed ubuntu 10.10 yesterday on three different partitions (one each for swap, / and /home). I have since run into problems (regarding wireless) and have done a number of things I don't quite remember.

| coz_ | ok guys have fun...share what you know...brush your teeth... I am off for the night | 05:05 |
| glitchd | coz_, i was reading and found out that i may have somehow inadvertently erased all the settings for the "color combination stuff", and if i install "luvcview"(which i did) i can readjust the settings. and that is what i am doing, and i am getting the color and contrast back as we speak.=) | 05:06 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, I agree and creating strong passwords is incredibly important | 05:06 |
| === prymal is now known as PryMaL | ||
| FishFace | Whoop. Just missed him. I see webcam settings in Skype | 05:06 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, if a regular desktop user can guess a password they can set themselves up with whatever privileges they want through Users And Groups! | 05:06 |
| soreau | glitchd: He has left | 05:06 |
| glitchd | soreau, ok thx for the info | 05:06 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, sure.... but it is no different than logging in with the admins password. | 05:07 |
| faustisch | apt-get does not update the "extras" repository, what's wrong?!! | 05:07 |
| glitchd | well anyway, thank you for you efforts again, ubuntu servers on xchat!! | 05:07 |
| glebihan | aussa: you can run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader" to add it to your sources, then "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install jdownloader" | 05:07 |
| aussa | should I delete the .jd folder the previous one create? | 05:07 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, which is why we create strong passwords. | 05:07 |
| Krishnandu | soreau, No issue with windows, I can access it from other win pc's | 05:07 |
| glebihan | aussa: would probably be better to do so | 05:07 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, they should be denied access because they don't have (aren't supposed to have) the ability to do that. | 05:07 |
| Agu10 | /msg nickserv identify 498765231 | 05:08 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, I thought you understood - I think you miss the point now. | 05:08 |
| soreau | Agu10: You might want to change that password now ;) | 05:08 |
| Agu10 | /msg nickserv identify 498765231 | 05:08 |
| Agu10 | soreau, hi | 05:08 |
| goobar | zanus, I used 'startupmanager' to fix my rez probs | 05:08 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, I appreciate your time though. ;) | 05:09 |
| intrader | Zack, I don't know whether you still need an answer. You may reinstall, and during the partitioning step keep the /home (don't format). | 05:09 |
| chovynz | how do I create a ?..script..? so that a program will run from my desktop with the command line settings that I tell it to? | 05:09 |
| Agu10 | oops | 05:09 |
| Agu10 | I think I wrote my password here... :S | 05:09 |
| soreau | chovynz: Put the commands in a text file and make it executable | 05:10 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, I am not missing the point. I completely understand. I agree. But I also want you to understand that strong passwords are just as important (and some could argue more important) than the error in the policy. | 05:10 |
| Agu10 | please don't steal it... idk how to change it | 05:10 |
| Agu10 | thanks | 05:10 |
| sbeck_nw | Agu10, yes, you did. | 05:10 |
| chovynz | thanks soreau | 05:10 |
| ub20 | Agent001, just type passwd in the terminal | 05:11 |
| ub20 | Agu10, | 05:11 |
| Agent001 | huh | 05:11 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, I understand the need for a strong password... my point is the situation goes against the security model as a whole. | 05:11 |
| Agu10 | who's Agent001 ? | 05:11 |
| glebihan | ub20: no he meant hi freenode password | 05:11 |
| Agent001 | I'm agent001 | 05:11 |
| ub20 | ahaa ok | 05:12 |
| Agu10 | /msg nickserv identify 498765231 | 05:12 |
| Agu10 | it doesn't work! | 05:12 |
| intrader | chovynz, you may create a .sh file that you can invoke from your .profile script. You write the script in bash with the first line containing '#!/bin/bash' (no quotes). | 05:12 |
| soreau | Agu10: Type /msg, not //msg | 05:12 |
| r1ck3y | Hi Guy I got some question about DNS server? | 05:12 |
| r1ck3y | I got assignment to set up a DNS redirect server | 05:13 |
| Agu10 | but if I write only 1 "/", then it doesn't show up here... | 05:13 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, I agree with you. It seems as though the system would force you to login with proper credentials in order to make changes to the system. | 05:13 |
| Agu10 | "/hey" won't show up | 05:13 |
| intrader | chovynz, in your profile simply add the line `/bin/bash yourfile.sh' (no quotes) | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | Agu10: It's not supposed to show up in this channel :) | 05:13 |
| glebihan | Agu10: that's the point | 05:13 |
| ub20 | Agu10, /msg nickserv set password newpassword | 05:13 |
| soreau | Agu10: You don't want it to show up here... | 05:13 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | How can I make Ubuntu log everything a user does (like go to websites and what s/he types and stuff)? | 05:13 |
| r1ck3y | but i dont know what should i start with. | 05:13 |
| Agu10 | /msg nickserv set password newpassword | 05:14 |
| soreau | Agu10: When it doesn't show here, that means nickserv received the information | 05:14 |
| Agu10 | ok, there I set it like you said | 05:14 |
| Agu10 | now is my password newpassword? | 05:14 |
| soreau | Agu10: You might want to do this in #freenode where you can get specialized help | 05:14 |
| ferris_ | CrimsonIdol, and it is weird that it allows for the non-privileged users to make changes by entering a password | 05:14 |
| Agu10 | soreau, ok | 05:14 |
| aussa | ok thank you LD | 05:15 |
| aussa | :D | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | Agu10: There should be another tab/window (depending on your client) that is just for things like identifying with nickserv. | 05:15 |
| CrimsonIdol | ferris_, because it shouldn't. | 05:15 |
| soreau | r1ck3y: Try #networking | 05:15 |

| Muimi | Should I install 64-bit, anyway? | 05:17 |
| ferris_ | glebihan, ?? you don't set a password? | 05:18 |
| Muimi | I feel like nobody can just give me a solid yes/no. | 05:18 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, you're not following. | 05:18 |
| soreau | I feel like you're trolling | 05:18 |

| Muimi | Well, if that's how you feel, I don't care how you feel. Now do you feel invalidated? | 05:18 |
| glebihan | ferris_: that's the whole point of the sudo system, there is no password for the root account | 05:18 |
| breadcrumb | if you have the hardware that supports it, then yes, go 64-bit | 05:18 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, this is not 'root's password (which is not set, btw. | 05:19 |
| Muimi | B/c I'm just going to ignore you if you start calling me a troll, even if it is turkey day. | 05:19 |
| Muimi | Alright. Thanks, bc. | 05:19 |
| Muimi | :) | 05:19 |
| ferris_ | glebihan, in order to do sudo you have to enter an admin password | 05:19 |
| soreau | hush: What are you trying to do exactly? | 05:19 |
| BitchSlapping | hi | 05:19 |
| ferris_ | glebihan, if you do not set a password... it makes it that much easier to hack your system | 05:20 |
| glebihan | ferris_: no, you enter the password of the currently logged in user, and it then checks if that user has correct privilegies to perform the command | 05:20 |
| zenwryly | I use some apt sources/repos whose Release file has an Origin with spaces in it but the unattended-upgrade script doesn't support origins with spaces in it. Which is wrong? Is there a specification that defines the Release file formate somewhere? My googling isn't leading me to it. I just want to know whether to tell the repo maintainers to fix their origins or contribute a patch to unattended-upgrade. | 05:20 |
| hush | I'm trying to open a port so I can access transmission while on another computer, but I have a dynamic IP and I don't know how to port forward it.. | 05:20 |

| hush | I have access to the router that transmits the wireless Internet I use, but not physical access. It's the hotel's I live on wifi. | 05:21 |
| soreau | hush: What does your setup look like? Are you using a router? | 05:21 |
| glebihan | ferris_: by no password, I mean a random, long and unguessable password which is set by default | 05:22 |
| hush | Yes, I have a router, I can enter to it's configuration pages and sorts. | 05:22 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, a normal desktop user should not be given sudo access just because they know an admin password. | 05:22 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: then I don't see where the problem lies | 05:22 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: they don't | 05:22 |
| hush | I an not entirely sure if there's anything behind that router. | 05:22 |

| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, When you install, first user is given admin (sudo) privileges... that password. | 05:24 |
| faustisch | SOMEBODY FIX THE FREAKING REPO | 05:24 |
| ntn2002dz | even with a private vpn in france! | 05:24 |
| soreau | hush: If you're running ubuntu, just use 'ifconfig|grep 192' | 05:25 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: that's right | 05:25 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, Login Screen and Users and Groups allow access if given the sudoers password. | 05:25 |
| soreau | hush: You should be able to figure out which is the ip, then use the control panel to forward the port | 05:25 |
| hush | inet addr? | 05:25 |
| hush | that's my internal IP right? | 05:26 |
| Muimi | Wow! It's downloading at 1.1 MB/sec! :D | 05:26 |
| soreau | hush: yes | 05:26 |
| hush | Thank you! | 05:26 |
| hush | I'll try | 05:26 |
| soreau | hush: You're welcome. | 05:26 |
| ntn2002dz | thank's anyway | 05:26 |
| hush | So this IP won't change right? | 05:26 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: once again, what do you mean by sudoers password ? | 05:26 |
| rww | faustisch: http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg is not a public key, it's a signature. | 05:26 |
| soreau | hush: It can change unless you make it static | 05:27 |
| ntn2002dz | hush: talking to me? | 05:27 |
| hush | So whenever the router is reset my IP will change? | 05:27 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: if a user is not in the sudoers, there is no password he will be able to type to give him access access to admin tools | 05:27 |
| faustisch | rww, please will you tell me where the public key is? | 05:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, On my system, it would be my password as I am the only (besides root) sudoer (admin) | 05:27 |
| soreau | hush: It's possible. Some systems attempt to get the same ip but it's not guaranteed. | 05:28 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: well, then I don't see the issue, you are the admin of the system, so you get access to everything | 05:28 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, Do you have any regular (non-admin type) users on your system? | 05:28 |
| hush | How do I make it static, and will it affect my ability to connect to the internet? | 05:28 |
| rww | faustisch: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DB141E2302FDF932 | 05:28 |

| faustisch | rww, gpg: "DB141E2302FDF93" not a key ID: skipping | 05:29 |
| rww | faustisch: try 02FDF932 instead | 05:29 |
| hush | I only found Network Connections and Network Proxy | 05:29 |
| soreau | Zack: It probably depends on your drive speed | 05:29 |
| faustisch | rww, thank you | 05:29 |
| CrimsonIdol | glebihan, If I log in as 'Sally' (a regular desktop user - no admin privileges), Users and Groups will ask for 'CrimsonIdol's password and allow access. | 05:29 |
| soreau | hush: Yes, network connections | 05:29 |
| Zack | 5400? | 05:29 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: lemme check something, brb | 05:30 |

| BitchSlapping | heh | 05:30 |
| faustisch | rww, it worked | 05:30 |
| c0nd0m_ | My mp3's don't work how do I fix this | 05:30 |
| soreau | hush: Then go to your connection (wired or wireless) then select it and click edit, then go to ipv4 settings, select manual and fill out the information | 05:31 |
| rww | faustisch: no problem, glad I could help | 05:31 |
| soreau | The Address is your static ip you choose, Netmask is almost always 255.255.255.0 and gateway is the ip of the router | 05:32 |
| soreau | hush: DNS server should probably be the router ip too | 05:32 |
| hush | The one I use to access it's control panel right? | 05:32 |
| c0nd0m_ | My mp3's don't work how do I fix this | 05:32 |
| soreau | hush: Doesn't matter which machine accesses the control panel | 05:32 |
| hush | I mean the gateway is the IP I use to access the router's control panel, right? | 05:33 |
| Ben64 | hush: most likely, yes | 05:33 |
| soreau | hush: You want to setup the static information manually on the machine you're forwarding the port to, then after you make sure it works (reboot), setup the port forwarding in the router config panel | 05:33 |
| BitchSlapping | hush, sure | 05:33 |
| glebihan | CrimsonIdol: ok sorry, was my mistake, and I would consider that as a bug | 05:34 |
| soreau | hush: Yes, the gateway is the router ip | 05:34 |
| hush | Thank you | 05:34 |
| soreau | hush: the router ip is how you access it's control panel | 05:34 |
| hush | yes | 05:34 |

| Macstheyjustsuck | How can I make Ubuntu log everything a user does (like go to websites and what s/he types and stuff)? | 06:25 |
| tiox | Keylogger? | 06:25 |
| Curator | hello: i'm trying to generate an SSH key. when i do ssh-keygen and service ssh restart, i get could not load host key | 06:25 |
| tiox | But keylogeers for Linux are a little sketchy. | 06:25 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, http://localhost:631 | 06:25 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: If you find a keylogger for Ubuntu, that'd be awesome | 06:25 |
| tiox | Hell, keyloggers for WINDOWS is sketchy! | 06:26 |
| CrimsonIdol | WINDOWS is sketchy! | 06:26 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, im using wired 64 bit on mine and its able to print | 06:26 |
| RenatoSilva | glitchd: tools > plugins > gtk theme settings or so | 06:26 |
| RenatoSilva | glitchd: enable it and click configure | 06:26 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, on the wireless go to http://localhost:631 | 06:26 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, when i install printer?? | 06:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, in the browser | 06:27 |
| glitchd | RenatoSilva, ok ill try that out | 06:27 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, im there | 06:27 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, in the browser (firefox, chrome) | 06:27 |
| awanti | In one of my pc i am using MS outlook so know i am installing Ubuntu 10.10. I took back of my MS outlook. So just i want to know to can i use outlook .pst files in Ubuntu on thender bird or evoluation | 06:28 |
| glitchd | RenatoSilva, thank you, that fixed it. | 06:28 |
| tiox | Who needed the keylogger? | 06:28 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, i went to Printers then Canon MP560 link | 06:28 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, Administration tab -> find new printers | 06:28 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, now what | 06:28 |
| glitchd | RenatoSilva, awesome friend, awesome. thank you much. | 06:29 |
| tiox | Because if it';s not a USB keyboard, you can install lkl | 06:29 |
| glitchd | now im outta here | 06:29 |
| glitchd | peace room | 06:29 |
| glitchd | *peace, room. | 06:29 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, Ok, so from the problem system (wireless), CUPS can see the Printer? | 06:29 |
| tiox | Macstheyjustsuck: Install lkl if you use a PS/2 keyboard. | 06:30 |
| tiox | Otherwise you may need to use a USB to PS/2 converter. | 06:30 |
| tecnico | awanti: thunderbird has a plugin for importing .pst but I don't know for sure if that's only available on windows. | 06:30 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: Wish I had a PS/2 port :[ | 06:30 |
| tiox | Nien? | 06:30 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, try printing a test page (from CUPS) - see if you get any errors. | 06:31 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, Administration>Modify Printer?? | 06:31 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, Manage Printer | 06:31 |
| tiox | Macstheyjustsuck: Can I ask a silly question? | 06:31 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: If silly != retarded | 06:32 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, Does it list your printer? | 06:32 |
| tecnico | awanti: a way to get around it is by opening the .pst file on some Outlook and copying everything over to some IMAP account. Then configure the IMAP account on your other client (evolution or TB) and you can then access the same folders/emails. You could copy them locally or keep using that imap acct. | 06:32 |
| tiox | PS/2 ports are mini-DIN variants. If the connection is purple, green, orange or any other color that has a round metal connector with pins, it's PS/2. | 06:32 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, it printed test page it says.."cannot get hostname" | 06:32 |
| awanti | ok is there any solution for that! plz | 06:32 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: I know what a PS/2 port is XD | 06:33 |
| tiox | Oi. | 06:33 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: What's your question? | 06:33 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | PS/2 slot, whatever* | 06:33 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, ok, so go into Manage Printer or Edit printer and see what it says for hostname. | 06:33 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, ok sorry I went to "Printers" first not adminisration | 06:34 |
| retrolxi | I can't get Ubuntu to install with a USB. Anyone know any fixes? I get to the screen where it makes me put in a username and a password and stuff for login and it just hangs. I let it run all night and still nothing | 06:35 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, after going to Administration then Find New Printer nothing comes up | 06:35 |
| krunal | how do i sync my iphone contacts on ubuntu - without using Ubuntu One | 06:36 |
| tiox | Well, here's the quick way out, Macstheyjustsuck. | 06:36 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, so it's just not talking to the network/printer... you could try to delete that entry then go back to Find... | 06:36 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, under Administration if i go to Manage Printers then click on Canon MP560 link i can not see hostname | 06:36 |
| tiox | Buy yourself a rather pricey USB keylogger and a USB extension cord you | 06:36 |
| tiox | ... | 06:36 |
| tiox | So you can hide it under a desk real easily. | 06:37 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: Well I don't care if people know it's there XD As long as it's there | 06:37 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: But I don't want to spend money :[ | 06:37 |
| thotheolh | Hi. I noticed that some recent updates my system received may have messed up my prefered applications to start off certain file ext. | 06:37 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, ok, so you need a hostname (ip address)... you may need to login to you router to see what has been assigned to the printer. | 06:37 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, when i try to cancel job ,....Authentication Box comes up.. | 06:37 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, is that router | 06:38 |
| thotheolh | e.g. I ran avi video and some other programs i did not intend to use started it.. | 06:38 |
| tiox | Cheap pastard -- There's no other option really, and lkl is 32-bit, so installing it might require some coaxing through Terminal. | 06:38 |
| tiox | See if it works. | 06:38 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, dammit i forgot username and password for router | 06:38 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, no router should be at 192,168.1.1 or somesuch | 06:38 |
| tiox | Might find a 64-bit lkl that might be unofficial. | 06:38 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: Poor != Cheap, also my OS is x86 | 06:38 |
| White-Horse | how do I remove a menu item that I did not make ? It seems like for one reason or the other ubuntu made it. I found a link on the net http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/06/how-to-remove-programsitems-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-menu-bar/ but I need to remove the menu on the left (Other) and not just what is listed under it | 06:38 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, look on the back label in realllly small print. | 06:39 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, no i set new password for router i just forgot it | 06:39 |
| tiox | Okay then. Look for lkl under the Universe repository (if it exists) or grab a deb online for it. | 06:39 |
| tiox | Install and see how that works out. | 06:39 |
| tiox | ANOTHER thing you can do... | 06:40 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, ok, what's the ip address of the wireless computer? | 06:40 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, dont i need to go into router | 06:40 |
| tiox | You can VNC into the host computer and record that to watch the activity as it happens, and keep an archive of it. But then you need hard drives to keep all the video data in. | 06:40 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, right-click on internet icon -> connection info | 06:40 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, you mean ifconfig | 06:41 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, wlan0 ?? | 06:41 |
| tiox | Wait a sec... | 06:41 |
| tiox | VNC... VNC does video right? | 06:41 |
| CrimsonIdol | sure ifconfig | 06:41 |
| moon350 | Hello | 06:42 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, inet addr: 192.168.1.100 | 06:42 |
| tiox | Yeah, if you can find a VNC client for Linux, you can record video of the host PC to be watched. | 06:42 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, now what | 06:43 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, ok, the printer will be something like that.... but the last number will be different. | 06:43 |
| tiox | And BTW, Macstheyjustsuck, OS X is FreeBSD with extra code. You're dissin' Linux with your nick. :P | 06:43 |
| atxq | to find the printer, I would use nmap | 06:44 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, IP address is 192.168.1.100 | 06:44 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, ok hold on | 06:44 |
| White-Horse | how do I remove a menu item that I did not make ? It seems like for one reason or the other ubuntu made it.

| CrimsonIdol | john38, you have to find that info... or try deleting that printer from CUPS and then Finding it with CUPS. | 06:45 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: No, I'm dissing Macs. | 06:45 |
| grendal_prime | jesus fkn christ im in hell | 06:46 |
| grendal_prime | save me tom cruze | 06:46 |
| White-Horse | o | 06:46 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, printer ip is 192.168.1.101 | 06:46 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | tiox: Macs are free software with a pretty look that have very little customization for a huge price | 06:46 |
| grendal_prime | ok parrents ran off to some god forsaken s*^t hole in tn (we are native californians..) | 06:47 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, ok, try to put that in as hostname | 06:47 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, where | 06:47 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, CUPS->Administration->Edit Printer | 06:47 |

| grendal_prime | valbaca, ive looked at all of them proble is everywhere they go none of the devices on those lists are in stock..thats why im here I want to hear from someone that has purchased something reciently that works out of the box. | 06:54 |
| rww | sgo11: There's a line in package control files named Provides:, that allows packages to say that they provide a function like an email client, terminal, window manager, etc. Those functions all have names, (x-terminal-emulator, for example), and are called virtual packages. The benefit is that if a package needs a program with a particular to be installed but doesn't care which, it can depend on the virtual package instead. | 06:55 |
| White-Horse | frustro, you may want to remove the new driver and reboot and re-install the driver again | 06:56 |
| grendal_prime | other thing...i understand everyone here is vol. i didnt use a single printed swear word this is a desperate situation i need to get information to these people. | 06:56 |
| sgo11 | rww, got it. thanks a lot for the explanation. | 06:56 |
| Muimi | Do I have to 'overburn'... hmm.... | 06:56 |
| grendal_prime | why are you giveing me grief about this?> | 06:56 |
| frustro | White-Horse, there was no changes to the driver, just an xorg update.....removing the NVidia and reinstalling now. | 06:56 |
| rww | sgo11: you can filter them out of aptitude's package list by limiting to !~v (! is not and ~v is virtual package; if you're in the aptitude interface, l brings up the limit box) | 06:57 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, you there | 06:57 |
| valbaca | grendal_prime, here's one that I bought and have had good success with: GSKY Realtek RL8187L. I can't say if it's plug and play with 8.04, I've only used it with 10.04 | 06:57 |

| john38 | CrimsonIdol, gotta go | 07:05 |
| rww | capcbd: Change the uppercase letters in the username to lower case | 07:05 |
| iamslash1 | :-* | 07:05 |
| pshr | yeah | 07:05 |
| CrimsonIdol | john38, me too.... got a security bug to report! | 07:05 |
| pshr | grendal_prime, yes | 07:05 |
| grendal_prime | so basically say you got a web server with something that really should not be exposed to the outside(like running webmin on port 10000) | 07:05 |
| john38 | CrimsonIdol, for time being i'll use wired pc | 07:05 |
| rootsecurity | Oh Im Thank you verymuch for valbaca | 07:06 |
| grendal_prime | but...you do have an ssh connection throught your firewall to the box that you are running webmin on...make sence so far? | 07:06 |
| pshr | grendal_prime, yes | 07:07 |
| grendal_prime | like this...ummm firewall router is forwarding port 22 to your linux box on the inside of the netework | 07:07 |
| capcbd | @rww Thats it? | 07:07 |
| pshr | grendal_prime, I get the idea ;) | 07:07 |
| pshr | :) | 07:07 |
| rww | grendal_prime: ssh -L someport:localhost:10000 username@server, then point web browser to localhost:someport | 07:07 |
| capcbd | something as simple as that | 07:07 |
| grendal_prime | so now you are a client on the outside and you want to look at the box's 1000 port..via the ssh port...so syntax would look like this. | 07:07 |
| grendal_prime | rww..there ya go | 07:08 |
| grendal_prime | in a nut shell.. | 07:08 |
| laborintus | so Hello everyone | 07:08 |
| grendal_prime | ill check to make sure what i have that i know works matches wit hthat but ya rww has it.. | 07:08 |

| bazhang | rootsecurity, its ifconfig | 07:17 |
| grendal_prime | also you could right click on the applications text ant select edit menues | 07:17 |
| White-Horse | i just hope it does not come back LoL | 07:17 |
| rww | sgo11: http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version | 07:17 |
| rootsecurity | arvind_khadri> Is the config connot viwe | 07:17 |
| valbaca | White-Horse, they usually don't. It's harder to get things in there in the first place | 07:18 |
| arvind_khadri | rootsecurity, do "ifconfig" on a terminal | 07:18 |
| rootsecurity | config bazhang> | 07:18 |
| grendal_prime | White-Horse, ya...some stuff is almost two damn easy. | 07:18 |
| arvind_khadri | !terminal | rootsecurity | 07:18 |
| ubottu | rootsecurity: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 07:18 |
| rootsecurity | bazhang> Configuration | 07:18 |
| bazhang | rootsecurity, its ifconfig in a terminal | 07:18 |
| White-Horse | thanks again guys have a good night/day | 07:18 |
| valbaca | also helpful: I think since 10.04 the terminal has been hot-keyed to Ctr+Alt+t (I use this ALLL the time) | 07:19 |
| sgo11 | rww, thans a lot for the link. I can understand -debian_revision now. but I still don't really understand what epoch is. | 07:19 |
| ectospasm | valbaca: that is configurable | 07:19 |
| arvind_khadri | valbaca, thanks :) i dint know that... i used to set my own shortcut :) awesome | 07:20 |
| ectospasm | sgo11: epoch, in what context? | 07:20 |
| maco | sgo11: epochs usually happen if someone screwed up | 07:20 |
| valbaca | ectospasm, I know, it's just cool that they made it one of the defaults, so I don't have to put it in myself every upgrade :) | 07:20 |
| littlekosh | valbaca wins for that tip | 07:20 |
| sgo11 | ectospasm, the package version. | 07:20 |
| maco | sgo11: or if upstreram version 1.2 comes out and it breaks things horribly and we rever to 1.1... need a way to make 1.1 come out as "newer" than the broken 1.2 | 07:20 |
| ectospasm | sgo11: oh. I don't pay close attention to those. | 07:20 |
| rootsecurity | Im do not | 07:20 |
| valbaca | thanks littlekosh :) | 07:21 |
| rww | sgo11: or, if the version numbering changes in a way that would make the package manager think that newer versions are actually older versions (or someone screws up and puts the wrong version number), epoch's incremented to force it to consider the newer version numbering as newer | 07:21 |
| maco | sgo11: in those cases you either see an epoch or 1.2really1.1-0ubuntu1 or something like that | 07:21 |
| sgo11 | maco, rww got it. thanks a lot. never heard this before. I used to use opensuse. new to ubuntu. | 07:22 |
| rww | sgo11: it's not something one usually needs to deal with, thankfully :) | 07:22 |
| maco | rww: unless youre a dev | 07:22 |
| sgo11 | rww, ^_^ | 07:22 |

| karma_police | just bought a 2tb usb flash drive.. what is best format to use? ntfs? i want to use it on windoze systems too.. also.. what best way to format to ntfs if that is best option? | 07:30 |
| hush | I run Ubuntu from a flashdrive, and windows is on the laptop's HDD | 07:30 |
| hush | Ubuntu is installed in the flash drive btw, it's not a liveUSB drive | 07:30 |
| ectospasm | karma_police: if you want both Windows and Ubuntu to read/write to the drive, best to format it NTFS or VFAT, from Windows | 07:31 |
| dcyber09 | anyone how to create directory for user ie. webshell/~username | 07:31 |
| capcbd | @rww Thanks for the tip m8 it's way to late here but I'll have to try it tomorrow | 07:31 |
| karma_police | can you format to ntfs using ubuntu? or have to boot into windows for that? | 07:31 |
| hush | you can | 07:31 |
| lea123 | Hi Just a simple query - If I use Gnumeric on ver10.10 would I be able to use it if I were to change to Unity or KDE | 07:31 |

| acipron | hi! my ubuntu desktop froze while booting. apparently it happend while checking the filesystem. at least that's what i see (foo has been mounted 20 times without being checked, check forced). we all know this message. my question is: Is there a way to get a command line at this point? I already went through ALT+F(1-12). | 07:32 |
| karma_police | what is the default format out of the box on a usb flash drive? | 07:32 |
| suigeneris | how can I add http://www.sky.fm/the80s/ to rhythmbox onlíne radio list? | 07:32 |
| karma_police | i mean usb hdd | 07:32 |
| hush | karma_police: Unformated | 07:32 |
| rww | karma_police: depends on the flash drive. often it's fat32. | 07:32 |
| karma_police | what about usb hdd? | 07:32 |
| hush | NTFS I think | 07:33 |
| suigeneris | karma_police use ntfs | 07:33 |
| rww | NTFS | 07:33 |
| lea123 | rww: Are you saying it will work without any issues at all. I was a little concerned cuz the website for Gnumeric says its a part of the Gnome project and its specially designed for GNOME desktops.... | 07:33 |
| rootsecurity | Hi | 07:33 |
| ectospasm | karma_police: watch out for formatting a drive NTFS in Ubuntu. Windows has a nasty habit of refusing to see those drives/partitions | 07:33 |
| mkanyicy | karma_police, usually ntfs, but it can be fat32 | 07:33 |
| mkanyicy | karma_police, usb flash disks is usually fat32, by the way | 07:33 |
| karma_police | can i format it to ntfs using ubuntu? | 07:33 |
| hush | yes | 07:33 |
| ectospasm | karma_police: yes, but it may be unreadable in Windows. | 07:33 |
| rww | lea123: shouldn't have any issues, no. It might not look as good as KDE applications would under KDE, but it'll work fine. | 07:33 |
| === TheDreamer is now known as Youri | ||
| karma_police | i have ntfsprogs installed | 07:33 |
| rww | lea123: Unity uses a GTK toolkit and is mostly GNOME stuff, so that's definitely not going to be a problem. | 07:34 |
| maco | rww, lea123: actually, kde is very good at forcing gnome apps to blend in pretty well | 07:34 |
| maco | (at least nowadays) | 07:34 |
| mkanyicy | karma_police, i support what ectospasm is saying, format NTFS under Windows | 07:34 |
| mkanyicy | karma_police, you can format NTFS on ubuntu, and then reformat it on Windows | 07:34 |

| lancel | due, nice, thanks! | 09:34 |
| erUSUL | mintux: on ext* filesystems 5% of space is reserved for root | 09:34 |
| due | s3r3n1t7: There's nothing in dmesg recently, though top would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I can't make it do it--it sometimes happens after a few hours of uptime every other day, and then never at all. | 09:34 |
| due | lancel: You can also hit Ctrl-Z in the terminal window to background a running program. Run 'fg' to bring it back to the foreground. | 09:35 |
| mintux | erUSUL: what does it use ? | 09:35 |
| erUSUL | mintux: 5% of 200 GiB -> 10 GiB | 09:35 |
| lancel | due, yes something that I was looking for but googling didn't help | 09:35 |

| jita | Dr_Willis: Is there any disadvantage of doing it over separate install of ubuntu as a dual boot OS? | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: or install whatever version you want. and just disable GDM so X doswent start | 09:46 |
| frustro | jita, or you can install full version and stop at run level 3 | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: virtualization will be slower.. but its trivial to do. | 09:47 |

| Dr_Willis | frustro: ubuntu uses upstart.. runlevels dont really exist.. | 09:47 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: programming in python. i don't like linux GUI :( | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !runlevels | 09:47 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 09:47 |
| frustro | ouch,,, | 09:48 |
| frustro | i'll shaddupp them | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: like the gui really matters? If you wanted to get fancy theres the (Not supported here) ubuntu variants like 'anlinux' that install inside windoww in a qemu (i think) virtual machine. that you dont see at all. You can just ssh to them, or run apps and they appear on the windows desktop via xming. | 09:49 |
| Rickardo1 | I am using keys to connect to my server, in ~/.ssh/ i got id_rsa.pub that contain the key.. but if I want more keys to different servers? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | Rickardo1: ssh -i key | 09:49 |
| Rickardo1 | ikonia: Yes, I know... but if I want it to load it automaticly? | 09:50 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: there's another option cygwin, what do you suggest ? | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Rickardo1: you can't, it takes id_dsa and id_rsa and identity by default, other than that you need to do ssh -i | 09:50 |
| Rickardo1 | ikonia: :( | 09:50 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: cygwin isent ubuntu either.. its also a bit old last time i used it.. why are you not just using python under windows? | 09:50 |
| erUSUL | jita: python runs on windows. why bother with linux if you do not want to ? | 09:51 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: i am used to linux environment, bash and all | 09:51 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: i like coding that way | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: may as well just install ubuntu in virtualbox then - not like its going to take very long to setup.. | 09:51 |
| jita | and besides many python modules are not ported to windows well | 09:51 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: right, i think thats the best possible solution, will give it a go, thanks for suggestion | 09:52 |

| luckymurali | Hi all | 09:53 |
| BangingLife | hello | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh can support 'commands directly' but not sure if thats any more or less secure. by doing sudo with it. | 09:54 |
| todor_ | hello | 09:54 |
| serard | Yes sorry, I'm coding a little bash script to stop my virtual machines by ssh'ing to them (password less) | 09:54 |
| serard | So the stop) case for $1 is like "ssh $1 sudo halt" | 09:54 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: I am going to download ubuntu, you think server edition will be a better go? | 09:54 |
| luckymurali | I am using ubuntu 10 64 bit server, I need to find whether any firewall is running on my server. Waht is the command for that | 09:54 |
| ikonia | jita: why would a server version be a better version | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh username@remotehost.net ls -l / | 09:54 |
| serard | But then I get sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified | 09:54 |
| hinog1 | I have a problem in Ubuntu 10.10 x64, I have no sound in flash not in firefox nor in chromium and the sound pref doesn't show any application when I play a flash video | 09:55 |
| jita | ikonia: because it doesn't have GUI which i do not need | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: depends on your exact needs. I dont have any need for the server edition really vs desktop. Theres to many tools i use on the desktop edieion. | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jita: you can always disable gdm. then ya got console only. | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | and you got the gui if you ever need it . | 09:55 |
| jita | Dr_Willis: right, ty | 09:55 |
| ikonia | jita: the desktop can have the gui disabled | 09:56 |
| serard | ah ok got it : ssh -t $1 sudo halt << -t option forces ssh to allocate a tty | 09:56 |
| jita | ikonia: right, will look into it, ty | 09:56 |
| airtonix | jita, installation of server version is different from the desktop, for example it helps you setup LVM (whereas the desktop version does not) | 09:57 |

| ceaze | I have installed Mame on Ubuntu, but whenever I run a game on it, i cannot start it. It says Insert Coin, how to start a game????? | 10:33 |
| hinog1 | well I can give it a try ltlkosh | 10:33 |
| kedy | This has happend to me earlier today, I fixed it by rebooting TWICE (yes, rebooting the first time didn't work). Haven't had this many problems in Ubuntu since ...never. | 10:34 |
| miaohuaone | 只有 | 10:34 |
| ltlkosh | hinog1: it worked for that guy, and editing sound.conf seems like it could be easily reversable, so I'd give it a try | 10:34 |

| ceaze | Dr_Willis, I will try | 10:37 |
| bridean | Anyone here? | 10:38 |
| kedy | Does anyone know why my wireless stops working after suspending my laptop? | 10:38 |
| hinog1 | it didn't work out, it just removed my actual soundcard from the hardware tab as it seems ltlkosh :P | 10:39 |
| bridean | I guess nobody wants to answer my question | 10:39 |
| serard | re | 10:39 |
| ltlkosh | hinog1: sadness | 10:39 |
| Gnea | kedy: because it hasn't switched back on | 10:39 |
| kedy | Gnea: How do you switch it back on. I tried $ ifconfig wlan1 up | 10:40 |
| kedy | Gnea: it returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill | 10:40 |
| Gnea | kedy: how does it normally get turned on/off? | 10:40 |
| serard | Someone have recompiled ubuntu with the patch which boost the kernel for desktop ? | 10:40 |
| Family | I am running ver. 10.04 when i just tried to boot it i got to the log in screen, but the user selection part would pop up then disappear. Ive rebooted several times with no changes. so i booted into recovery mode and set it to low graphics mode. | 10:41 |
| Family | and now my networking isn;t working | 10:41 |
| bridean | Again, my Ubuntu machine is frozen. I want to fix it without rebooting. What are my options? | 10:42 |
| serard | I'm talking about this patch : http://www.go2linux.org/mt/linux-ht/2010/11/linux-kernel-patch-makes-desktop-faster.html | 10:42 |
| kedy | Gnea: I've never had this problem till i switched to 10.10. I tried pressing the button on my laptop to turn wireless on, but it doesn't work. I tried $rfkill unblock 0, but it too doesn't work. | 10:42 |
| ltlkosh | bridean: what process is frozen? | 10:43 |
| airtonix | bridean, basic google search reveals that you can use ctrl alt f1-f6 to use any of those terminals | 10:43 |
| Gnea | kedy: I'd file a bug, or just go back to 10.04 | 10:43 |
| bollullera | good morning ^^ | 10:43 |
| ilovefairuz | bridean: alt + PrintScrn/SysRq + k | 10:43 |
| hinog1 | this damn no sound in flash bug is really annoying | 10:43 |
| bridean | ltlkosh: Finally, basically I am running freeciv and vlc. When vlc got to the end of the movie that machine froze. | 10:43 |
| ltlkosh | bridean: do you have access to the box at all? ssh? | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | hinog1: that issue pops up every so often, Its not near as common as it used to be. | 10:45 |
| Mavs | what are .goutputstream files? | 10:45 |
| a_bug | hey guys, a question please - How can I increase the initial tcp congestion window ? Will I have to recompile the kernel for this ? | 10:45 |
| bridean | Yes, this is my laptop (running Linux Mint). Ubuntu is on my desktop which is 10 feet away | 10:45 |
| hinog1 | but working solutions don't pop that often Dr_Willis | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | hinog1: ive never had an issue.. I recall a whole page once of 'possible fix's' - but never needed them | 10:45 |
| ltlkosh | bridean: ssh in, run top see if it is really hung or if some process is going nuts | 10:46 |
| bridean | So I can walk over to it and try something. ctrl alt f1, f2, f3,... don't work. Let me try alt printscreen | 10:46 |
| ltlkosh | sure | 10:46 |
| hinog1 | I would only need a single working one Dr_Willis :P | 10:47 |
| ltlkosh | or, Alt+PrintScrn+K like ilovefairuz suggested if it is X that is frozen | 10:47 |
| bridean | alt printscreen isn't working | 10:47 |
| bridean | I should say alt printscreen k | 10:47 |
| ltlkosh | k, so Ctrl+Alt+F1 should drop you in to a terminal | 10:48 |
| bridean | Unless, by that you mean all three keys at the same time | 10:48 |
| ltlkosh | yes | 10:48 |
| ltlkosh | at the same time | 10:48 |
| ilovefairuz | a_bug: probably not, should be doable by adjusting stuff in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ | 10:48 |
| a_bug | thanks ilovefairuz | 10:48 |
| a_bug | and eventually through sysctl ? | 10:48 |
| Mavs | does this work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key? | 10:48 |
| ilovefairuz | a_bug: yeap | 10:48 |
| a_bug | thanks | 10:48 |
| smw | Mavs, I think it is disabled | 10:48 |
| Mavs | ctrl alt backspace is disabled too right? | 10:49 |
| ilovefairuz | smw: cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq | 10:49 |
| Family | im having a networking issue. I was connected with both wireless and ethernet to my network and wasnt able to use either. I had to boot into win 7 to get on | 10:49 |
| kedy | Mavs: yes | 10:49 |
| smw | Mavs, they are both definitely disabled | 10:50 |
| bridean | alt + printscreen +k gave me a black screen for a second then put me back into X windows. Now when I try alt + printscreen + k it doesn't work at all | 10:50 |
| Mavs | bridean, you got ssh? | 10:50 |
| ltlkosh | bridean: yes, ssh and if that doesn't work you're going to have to reboot | 10:51 |
| ilovefairuz | bridean: does ctrl + alt + f2 work (should give you a terminal to login) | 10:51 |
| tompio | what is this for stupid shit?? | 10:51 |
| ilovefairuz | bridean: if it does, sudo service gdm restart | 10:51 |
| dr3mro | please how to play midi in ubuntu 10.10 totem media player | 10:51 |
| bridean | Hmm, no. This laptop is connected to a router which the desktop is also connected to. But I don't know how to connect to the desktop using ssh (if it's possible) | 10:51 |
| ilovefairuz | !language | tompio | 10:51 |
| ubottu | tompio: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:51 |
| tompio | lol | 10:52 |
| kedy | bridean: ssh -l username ip_add | 10:52 |
| ilovefairuz | dr3mro: can't play it in totem, you need to install timidity and use something like kmid | 10:53 |
| bridean | tompio reminds me of a joke (off topic I know). If you made a computer programming language using cuss words, then the usual advice of "watch your language" would be very apt. | 10:53 |
| onbekend | #hgl | 10:53 |
| dr3mro | ilovefairuz, but it was playing in lucid | 10:53 |
| ilovefairuz | dr3mro: ah perhaps there's a gstreamer plugin for it, let me check | 10:54 |
| bridean | Is there a way to find out the ip address of the desktop from this laptop? | 10:54 |
| kedy | bridean: fping, nmap | 10:54 |
| Mavs | check your router | 10:54 |
| vizzerd | Hey there, a bit of a n00b question but I'm using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS on a PC and have it dual-boot with Windows 7 | 10:54 |
| bucknasty | Is it possible to write emails to test@127.0.0.1 (any IP) ? or must it be a domain? | 10:55 |
| vizzerd | everytime I update Ubuntu, in GRUB it shows multiple installs of Ubuntu for each subsequent update | 10:55 |
| bridean | vizz: You usually use grub for that | 10:55 |
| vizzerd | ...I need to know how to edit GRUB | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vizzerd: one for each kernel.. i would suggest leaveing it alone. | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vizzerd: you can remove the older kernels via the package manager. and tey will go away. | 10:55 |
| vizzerd | awesome, cheers Dr_Willis, will try that | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | vizzerd: its common practice to keep at least 2 kernel versions. | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | vizzerd: remove the kernels yu do not need; keeping 2 just in case you mess one up is a good idea | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | vizzerd | 10:56 |
| ubottu | vizzerd: 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 | 10:56 |
| Mavs | vizzerd check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | I shall do, I've just got about 6 kernels showing | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | chanks @ ubottu | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | thanks* | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | vizzerd: go to synaptic and remove thwe ones you do not need | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | vizzerd: thats odd.. ive never noticed that many on my clean installs.. was thios a upgraded system? | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | well, I'm using x64 ubuntu if that helps? Oo | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | I'm not sure, just whenever update manager says there's an update, I update | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | vizzerd: make sure you have the linux-image and linux-image-generic packages instaled | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | and every kernel change shows in grub | 10:56 |
| ilovefairuz | dr3mro: try: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad | 10:56 |
| vizzerd | yep, I have those installed erUSUL | 10:57 |
| erUSUL | vizzerd: ok; then remove the kernels you do not need | 10:57 |
| Mavs | there is a Too Many Kernels? subtitle on the link I gave | 10:57 |
| ilovefairuz | bucknasty: yes it is possible, install an MTA like exim4 or postfix | 10:57 |
| Mavs | that should solve your problem vizzerd | 10:57 |
| kedy | visserd: I usually just remove the unused kernels | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | does the computer-janitor tool even help in removeing old kernels any more? | 10:58 |
| onbekend | hello | 10:58 |
| bucknasty | thx ilovefairuz | 10:58 |
| bucknasty | ilovefairuz: Is it easy to do? | 10:59 |
| ilovefairuz | bucknasty: sudo apt-get install exim4 | 11:00 |
| kedy | Dr_Willis: Dunno, I usually just do sth like $ sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.35-23-* | 11:00 |
| bucknasty | ilovefairuz: I already have postfix installed | 11:00 |
| ilovefairuz | bucknasty: you can then use the 'mail' command to check email, or configure a GUI client like evolution or thunderbird adding a 'local mail' account | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kedy: i cheat and use ubuntu-tweak.. but i dont recall getting any extra kernel entries since 10.10's came out.. | 11:00 |
| kedy | Dr_Willis: I just got one this morning haha | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | kedy: yes. there was a update. but it did not add a new entry to the grub menus for me. | 11:01 |
| bucknasty | ilovefairuz: I want to install a mailserver on a new v server | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | kedy: unless for some reason my systems are not upgradeing to the newer kernels. | 11:01 |
| bucknasty | ilovefairuz: If I could use the IP of the vserver then I would do it. otherwise I would have to create a mx | 11:01 |
| n8w | hey | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux Piggy 2.6.35-23-generic is what i just upgraded to it seems. | 11:02 |
| n8w | how can i prevent having to do the followin every time i switch to different user: export DISPLAY=:0.0 , export $(dbus-launch)?? | 11:02 |
| bridean | kedy: Do you know what the nmap command would be to find the ip address of the desktop? My situation is, I have high speed internet which is connected to a router. I then have both the desktop and the laptop pluged in to the router so that both are sharing the same internet connection | 11:02 |
| ilovefairuz | bucknasty: you can use the IP, whether it is localhost or not | 11:02 |
| yoan | hi, how do i upgrade to ubuntu 10.04? | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgade | yoan | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | yoan | 11:03 |
| ubottu | yoan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 11:03 |
| kedy | bridean: If only those two are connected then sth like $ sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | 11:03 |
| ilovefairuz | bridean: nmap -sP 10.0.0.* | 11:03 |
| yoan | thanks, i'll check it | 11:03 |
| kedy | bridean: and the one that isn't ur desktop is the laptop | 11:03 |
| ilovefairuz | bridean: or whatever your subnet is (10.0.0.0 and 192.168.1.0 are popular choices) | 11:04 |
| kedy | Dr_Willis: really? my kernel upgraded from 2.6.35-22 to 23 and now there is a new option in the grub menu | 11:05 |
| yoan | but what happens if i'm 8.10 ubuntu | 11:05 |
| crescent-front | i need to redirect all the requests to www other then subdomains using htaccess, is that possible | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | kedy: cant say that any of my 3 machines have more then 1 kenel entry on them. (well 1 + the 1 recovery option) | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | kedy: perhaps it upgraded them as part of the clean install.. not sure.. | 11:06 |
| ltlkosh | crescent-front: sounds like more of an apache question than an ubuntu question | 11:06 |
| yoan | how do i upgrade 8.10 to 10.10 | 11:06 |
| crescent-front | ltlkosh : yes ofcourse. so have any idea. please | 11:06 |
| phirosjr | where i can find linux mint channel? | 11:06 |
| ilovefairuz | crescent-front: yes it's possible, but ask in #apache or something | 11:07 |
| crescent-front | thanks, | 11:07 |
| yoan | sorry, but anyone know how to upgrade from 8.10 -> 10.04 ? | 11:07 |
| hinog1 | hmm I circumvented my no sound in flash problem for youtube and vimeo with the flashvideoreplacer in firefox but it only works in firefox and only for those two pages | 11:08 |
| arvind_khadri | !mint | phirosjr | 11:08 |
| ubottu | phirosjr: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 11:08 |
| RootMan212 | ok | 11:08 |
| hinog1 | very unsatisfing | 11:08 |
| RootMan212 | hi everyone | 11:08 |
| kedy | yoan: not sure but i think you add the 10.10 repos to your /etc/apt/source.list, then do apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgade | 11:08 |
| kedy | yoan: careful to make backups before you update! | 11:09 |
| arvind_khadri | yoan, you cant go directly from 8.10 to 10.10 | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | kedy: i think thats the wrong way to do it.... | 11:09 |
| yoan | oh ic | 11:09 |
| kedy | yoan: ok then forget what i said | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | yoan: you could go from 8.10 -> steps -> 9.04 ---> 10.04 i belive | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | yoan: but its proberly better to do a clean reinstall | 11:10 |
| arvind_khadri | yoan, 8.10->9.04->9.10->10.04->10.10 thats the path you should follow | 11:10 |
| yoan | do i really have to backup | 11:10 |
| RootMan212 | what is red hat enterprise? | 11:10 |
| yoan | oh | 11:10 |
| Dr_Willis | yoan: you dont HAVE to backup.. if your data is not worth keeping... | 11:10 |
| arvind_khadri | yoan, or else do a clean install | 11:10 |
| yoan | kk thx | 11:10 |
| Dr_Willis | yoan: 'data worth keeping' is worth backing up.. | 11:10 |
| chalcedony | thing is each time you do a step you develop problems | 11:11 |
| arvind_khadri | RootMan212, its the enterprise edition of RedHat | 11:11 |
| kedy | yoan: again i'm not sure since i always do a clean install, but if you have your /home as a different partition i think upgrading won't touch your /home. NOT SURE THOUGH | 11:12 |
| bridean | sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 didn't work | 11:12 |
| phirosjr | ty ubottu | 11:13 |
| chalcedony | is there something that talks about ways to save the appropriate data? | 11:13 |
| guampa | is possible to use apt-get to remove packages without removing dependencies or do i have to use dpkg? | 11:13 |
| kedy | bridean: I said *similar* to. what's your subnet ip add and subnet mask? | 11:13 |
| guampa | bridean: to know your network use "ip r" | 11:13 |
| guampa | in a terminal | 11:13 |
| guampa | then you'll know what net to scan | 11:14 |
| chalcedony | is there something that talks about ways to backup the appropriate data, to upgrade ubuntu? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | chalcedony: it would depend on how you use your ubuntu syste, | 11:16 |
| bridean | ip r gives me "192.168.10.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.10.102 metric 1" | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | i just keep /home/ on its own hd.. thats all the data i ever backup | 11:16 |
| bridean | Also "169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 " | 11:16 |
| guampa | bridean: then the network is 192.168.10.0/24 | 11:17 |
| guampa | the other doesn't matter | 11:17 |
| chalcedony | Dr_Willis, umm nice idea, how could i set that up for next time? at this point i have it all in one, standard installation for 9.04. | 11:17 |
| guampa | your address is 192.168.10.102 | 11:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | i noticed that debian has an option to auto generate partitions, like /, /home, /var, ect, how come this is missing in ubuntu? | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | chalcedony: make a partition when installing. mount it to /home | 11:17 |
| guampa | the other host will probably be 192.168.10.101 (a guess) | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | brontosaurusrex: it would be to 'complex' a concept i guess for beginners | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | brontosaurusrex: i just use / /home and swap [artitions. or in my case /home/ is its own HD | 11:18 |
| kedy | Dr_Willis: me too haha | 11:18 |
| dr3mro | ilovefairuz, alrealdy installed sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and not working | 11:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | Dr_Willis: that would be a good preset + autocalculate the space needed | 11:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | imho | 11:18 |
| bridean | If I do sudo nmap -sP 192.168.10.0/24 I get 3 hosts | 11:19 |
| guampa | brontosaurusrex: i agree complex partition setups are rare in common user desktops | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | brontosaurusrex: one issue ive seen. is that ive seen some windows machines (with win7) allready useing 4 primary partitions.. that was annoying to get linux on that machine. | 11:19 |
| kedy | bridean: 192.168.10.1 is your gateway, 102 is you, the other is your frozen mahine's | 11:19 |
| guampa | bridean: yours you already know | 11:19 |
| ilovefairuz | dr3mro: sudo apt-get install freepats | 11:20 |
| bridean | Does 192.168.10.101 make sense as the ip of my frozen machine? | 11:20 |
| guampa | bridean: yes | 11:20 |
| kedy | bridean: yes, guampa if i recall predicted it too | 11:21 |
| bridean | Ok, so now if I do a ssh on that ip it says "connection refused" | 11:21 |
| kedy | bridean: did u install ssh on the comp? | 11:21 |
| kedy | bridean: did u block port 22 on it? | 11:21 |
| chalcedony | Dr_Willis, i definitely need to upgrade. can you tell me sort-of what to do? | 11:21 |
| barberan | Is it possible to use my wi-Fi adapter as an wi-fi access point ? | 11:21 |
| bridean | kedy: Do you have to explicitly install ssh? | 11:22 |
| dr3mro | ilovefairuz, freepats already installed | 11:22 |
| kedy | bridean: yes, apt-get install ssh | 11:22 |
| guampa | chalcedony: commonly backed up dirs are /etc and /home | 11:22 |
| bridean | kedy: Also, as far as I know, I didn't block port 22 | 11:22 |
| guampa | copy them up to a safe palce | 11:22 |
| guampa | place | 11:22 |

| strange | hey guys i removed alsa and tried to compile it from source so that i could maybe mute my built in speakers but after make install it didnt work at all now when i apt-get alsa it wont find a soundcard either any suggestions? | 11:23 |
| kedy | bridean: Then I'm guessing ssh isn't an option here. Did you save everything before your comp froze? | 11:23 |
| chalcedony | Dr_Willis, ok | 11:24 |
| bridean | kedy: Well, the only thing is, I wanted to save my freeciv game. But I guess that's not an option now. | 11:24 |
| bridean | It seems like Ubuntu Studio is a less stable version of Ubuntu | 11:24 |
| chandru_in | I can make the application listen for requests on a different port if needed. Not much can be changed beyond that. | 11:24 |
| kedy | bridean: well at least you learned a little something about networks today =) | 11:25 |

| kedy | bridean: Of course, scp | 11:26 |

| bridean | Thanks for your help kedy. I hope I didn't sound too newbie | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | bridean: i thought freeciv auto saved every 10 min or so. you could boot a live cd and get an older save peraps | 11:26 |
| kedy | bridean: No prob | 11:26 |

| UukGoblin | hi guys, is there a way to set ethtool options for a network card in initrd? (I have root on nfs) | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | UukGoblin: dunno; take a look in /etc/initramfs-tools/ | 11:34 |
| chalcedony | Dr_Willis, (or anyone) 'archive manager' does not work well for me, i don't know if that's my visual impairment or what, but i never can get stuff open. is there a command line way to do this? | 11:34 |
| ahwii02 | hahah | 11:34 |

| hinogi | Anyone successfully fixed the no sound problems in flash videos in firefox or chromium in Ubuntu 10.10 x64 ? | 11:35 |
| UukGoblin | my main problem is that I have realtek 8111d or 8168d, and it boots the kernel and initrd fine (as in, bios gets it via tftp and all that), but after kernel boots, it says the link is not ready on either of the 2 cards | 11:35 |
| UukGoblin | tried both stock r8169 as well as realtek's r8168 modules | 11:35 |
| UukGoblin | + it seems to work on an old 100mbit switch, but doesn't on a gigaethernet one | 11:36 |
| chalcedony | kedy, varies depending on the file, i guess. but if i wanted to archive home and etc, scp them and get them back working, what are good ways to do that with command line? | 11:36 |
| UukGoblin | so I'm thinking of hard-setting it to 100mbps | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | chalcedony: ( create the file outside of home ) tar czf /path/to/home_backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz $HOME | 11:38 |
| chalcedony | erUSUL 9.04 - can you give me examples? | 11:38 |
| guampa | UukGoblin: can you use the cards when the os is fully loaded? | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | chalcedony: examples of what? | 11:39 |
| UukGoblin | guampa, only on the old 100mbit switch | 11:39 |
| UukGoblin | (I can't load the OS at all on the giga one) | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | ( create the file outside of home ) - how? | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | erUSUL, mkdir or? | 11:39 |
| kedy | chalcedony: he just told u...tar czf /path/to/home_backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz $HOME | 11:39 |
| UukGoblin | (on the old switch the stock r8169 module worked fine) | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | chalcedony: I just tend to use the command line tools... or 'mc' as my acrhiver front end | 11:40 |
| guampa | UukGoblin: used the cards with other os at 1g? | 11:40 |
| erUSUL | chalcedony: you can use /tmp/ if you have anough space in that partition. it all depends on hw big the file ends up being | 11:40 |
| chalcedony | hmmmm | 11:40 |
| chalcedony | Dr_Willis, it's the old way | 11:41 |
| UukGoblin | guampa, nope | 11:41 |

| hariom | /var/logs | 11:41 |
| chalcedony | erUSUL, how can i tell how big tmp is? | 11:41 |
| guampa | try that, verify the cabling and everything works at 1g | 11:41 |
| chalcedony | and how big are home and etc .. tarred | 11:42 |
| UukGoblin | guampa, it's kinda hard as the machine has no hard drives | 11:42 |
| erUSUL | chalcedony: if you do not have space you can send the tar file through ssh right away « tar czf - $HOME | ssh user@host 'cat > home_backup_$(date +%F).tar.gz' » or something like that | 11:42 |

| erUSUL | chalcedony: /tmp/ is in the root partition. "df -h2 shows partitions sizes. the size of home tarred you will have to guess. it all depends on how well it compresses etc. | 11:43 |
| UukGoblin | and -b | 11:43 |
| UukGoblin | or bc -l with ibase=2 | 11:43 |

| chalcedony | $ df -h2 | 11:44 |
| chalcedony | df: invalid option -- '2' | 11:44 |
| kedy | mrexen: not sure if it overflowed or not, can't u write a simple script? group digits together by 4 | 11:44 |
| erUSUL | chalcedony: sorry that should have been a " | 11:44 |
| mrexen | shouldn't they be grouped together by 8? | 11:44 |
| mrexen | i figure the first letter is M | 11:44 |
| erUSUL | chalcedony: « df -h » | 11:44 |
| guampa | UukGoblin: yeah you can default to a sfe 100mb that would alleviate any possible problem with poor cabling | 11:45 |
| mrexen | but i seriously cbf calculating each segment of 8 digits | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | brontosaurusrex: ' cat < is ' makes little sense ... | 11:45 |

| erUSUL | nV: if it is a instalation script you may have to use sudo with it. | 11:49 |

| danboid | Skapare, being logged out is unacceptable tho | 13:51 |
| Skapare | danboid: if you do disable it totally, and if that eliminates the problem, then at least we know that the screensaver is the source or pathway of the problem | 13:51 |

| pucko- | it will still read the mbr on sda | 15:14 |
| pucko- | if i'm not mistaken. | 15:14 |

| zeltak | cant i create the mbr on sdb and move grub there? | 15:16 |
| pucko- | zeltak, yes | 15:16 |
| pucko- | what I mean is that if you have sda and sdb plugged in. it will of course read the mbr of sda first. | 15:17 |
| zeltak | ahh ok so if i just want to be left with sdb what should i do? | 15:17 |
| Digistras | i go tthis error: This program requires root privileges | 15:18 |
| Digistras | how do i enable root privileges? | 15:18 |

| pucko- | zeltak, actually, it's probably better to boot up with a rescue disk (or cd) and sda disconnected. and then install grub on sdb (which would then be sda) from there. | 15:22 |

| pksadiq | vikramb: then run update-grub2 | 16:20 |
| vikramb | pksadiq, ok | 16:20 |

| Dmole | Assimilater: the reason "sudo su" is discouraged is that you can type the wrong thing and wipe your system but if what is important to you is the documents you make as your user then there is no real extra risk | 16:54 |

| jita | Could anybody please give me proper sources.list file for ubuntu 10.10 ? | 17:37 |

| noobie25 | Muimi: how do you turn it on? ... it works fine when i am not running a sudo command | 17:43 |
| Muimi | That's probably at you, noobie25. What ThomasB2k said | 17:43 |
| ThomasB2k | no, sorry muimi and noobie25 | 17:43 |
| ThomasB2k | it's not | 17:43 |
| LostHorizons | hi guys - i have a macbook pro model 5,4. I checked on the Ubuntu site and it recommended me to download Lucid Lynx but I'm not sure if i should download the desktop or the netbook edition | 17:43 |
| Muimi | You gotta check your environmental variables, noobie25. | 17:44 |
| noobie25 | Muimi: where can i do that? i'm sorry | 17:44 |
| Muimi | try :colorscheme elflord | 17:44 |
| ira | LostHorizons: you would want the desktop, why since you have Darwin already via macos? | 17:44 |
| pksadiq | noobie25: try sudo su and you login as root and then simply use vim file , hpe it works | 17:45 |
| LostHorizons | ira: i just want to use a different OS for the experience of setting it up | 17:45 |
| pksadiq | hope* | 17:45 |
| Muimi | try :!echo $VIMRUNTIME and :!echo $VIM and :set runtimepath | 17:45 |
| wastrel | LostHorizons: the netbook edition has a GUI that's optimized for netbooks. a normal laptop would typically use the desktop edition | 17:45 |
| Pici | pksadiq: You should use sudo -i not sudo su. | 17:45 |
| Muimi | You want to make sure that your runtime path is right, in accordance with $vimruntime and $vim | 17:45 |
| LostHorizons | thanks, wastrel :) | 17:46 |
| pksadiq | Pici: both works! | 17:46 |
| Pici | pksadiq: But sudo -i sets up the environment more-correctly. And it isn't a redundant command like sudo su is. | 17:46 |
| Bing0 | LostHorizons, you should consider virtualbox first | 17:47 |
| pksadiq | Pici: but actually sudo doesn't gives the whole powe of root, I get some errors like when running wine with sudo, but su works fine | 17:47 |

| LostHorizons | then, maybe, i'll use bootcamp and install it on my HD | 17:48 |
| pksadiq | st: try any wine software to run with sudo , you will sense it | 17:48 |
| Bing0 | LostHorizons, "ira: i just want to use a different OS for the experience of setting it up" I would think vbox would be ideal for your reason. :/ | 17:49 |
| Tom22 | 3 packages can be updated. How do I find which ones can be updated from CL? How do I install them after finding them? | 17:49 |
| LostHorizons | Bing0: with that in mind why does anyone use Ubuntu as opposed to Windows, Mac OS X etc? | 17:49 |
| Pici | pksadiq: sudo -i gives you an interactive 'sudo' session. | 17:49 |
| wastrel | i don't care for os x but it has better power management on macbooks than does ubuntu | 17:50 |
| Bing0 | LostHorizons, for me, it forces me to understand the PC in a more scientific manner. everyone's reasons differ.. | 17:50 |

| Bing0 | LostHorizons, yes | 18:05 |
| Bing0 | LostHorizons, your guest net config may have mild issues though...for example, when I was connected to my mac via ethernet, the ubuntu guest had an IP. when I was connected to my mac via wifi, my guest didnt | 18:06 |
| Bing0 | LostHorizons, it might not happen to you, this was awhile back when i noticed this. | 18:07 |
| coz_ | masterme120, open a terminal and type alsamixer the name and model of the card should show up in the upper left | 18:07 |
| masterme120 | coz_, HDA ATI SB for card and VIA VT1708S for chip. | 18:08 |
| coz_ | masterme120, and if you notice in alsamixer..you should have a series of sliders | 18:08 |
| ddman | how can i get the shared memory dump in core files for analysis ? | 18:09 |

| KnickLighter | Dmole; He wants to connect from the outside to his workstation. | 18:24 |
| masterme120 | coz_, I went here because it's specifically the applet. You used to be able to change which channel it adjusted in the sound preferences dialogue, but it's not there any more. | 18:25 |

| sometux | Dmole, let me check it out | 18:25 |
| coz_ | masterme120, understood... would still try both of those channels and let them know that gnome no longer has that options in sound dialog | 18:26 |
| Dmole | sometux: you basically need to to leave a connection from the inside out | 18:26 |
| Dmole | sometux: you can actualy use putty/ssh to do this with reverse port forwarding | 18:27 |
| Dmole | KnickLighter:reverse port forwarding should do the trik | 18:27 |

| coz_ | trijntje, is this a windows partition | 18:43 |
| ubuXubu | evilbug, do they have the same rotuer modem, same isp etc... | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | hey evilbug , so you were able set up the boot sequence ok in the BIOS then, glad to hear it. | 18:43 |
| erUSUL | trijntje: if it is ntfs is better to use windows tools to recover/check it. they know they stuff better than anyone | 18:43 |
| trijntje | coz_, the disk doesnt support SMART but I've read the whole thing with dd and no errors showed up | 18:43 |
| evilbug | ubuXubu: i don't think the same modem but isp yes. | 18:44 |
| trijntje | BluesKaj, chkdsk on windows returns errors, and I keep ketting BSOD | 18:44 |
| coz_ | trijntje, and this is an external drive | 18:44 |
| evilbug | ubuXubu: like i said though, his desktop is hardwired to his router and works fine but the laptop won't connect. | 18:44 |
| trijntje | coz_, no, internal NTFS | 18:44 |
| ubuXubu | evilbug, try a different port | 18:45 |
| trijntje | erUSUL, I've tried that, but it looks like windows cant fix the errors | 18:45 |
| coz_ | trijntje, oh ok is this also just a storage device or windows os drive | 18:45 |
| vic20gmr | how do i make changes hat ive made using iwconfig stick, so that they stay how ive set them between reboots? | 18:45 |
| evilbug | BluesKaj: for some reason it wouldn't read the disc but i found out that my friend didn't create a proper usb stick install and so i guided him through that and worked out. | 18:45 |
| erUSUL | trijntje: some windows third party tools? | 18:45 |
| ubuXubu | evilbug, call isp and make them update the firmware then reboot | 18:45 |

| trijntje | erUSUL, I'm not sure, I'm also asking in #windows atm, but fixing the partitions would require that windows isnt running from that drive correct? | 18:47 |

| jags | hey I'm trying to change some notification icons, i have replacements but they're actually in .png format, all the howtos I've read involve .svg's | 19:02 |
| jags | anyone know how to change notification area icons, I know they're stored in /usr/share/icons, but not sure how to go about replacing them | 19:02 |
| rpin42 | jags: PNG are bitmap where SVG are vector. you might need to redraw them | 19:02 |
| jags | rpin42, how is that accomplished? is there an app that will do it for me? | 19:03 |
| gnat_x | jags: inkscape | 19:03 |
| jags | gnat_x, thanks | 19:03 |
| rpin42 | jags, not really. You can dr.. inkscape | 19:03 |
| gnat_x | i cannot for the life of me figure out why the startup disk creator keeps hanging at the very end of trying to create a bootable USB. | 19:04 |
| Padster | jags: there are program that convert pixel images into vector, but they're usually not that good. in inkscape you will have to manually trace it. | 19:04 |
| gnat_x | the drive is brand new from the package. | 19:04 |
| Padster | jags: and inkscape has a built-in tracer, too | 19:04 |

| bradahl | what system are you using muimi?? | 19:10 |
| Muimi | I tried to write 10.10 64-bit to a 700 MB CD, and it said that the CD was not large enough. So, I tried to write Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit mini onto the CD, and it gave me an 'invalid cue sheet' error. | 19:10 |

| Muimi | I tried USB installer. My motherboard, not that old, uses USB FDD and USB CD. I tried both of the options... It will not boot to the USB stick. | 19:11 |
| hcj | @ muimi did you make it burn it on an image burner | 19:11 |
| Muimi | I tried infrared, recommended at that site: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 19:11 |
| bradahl | I used the Wubi installer | 19:11 |
| Muimi | And I tried Clone CD... and I tried Clone CD with Daemon Tools. | 19:12 |

| gnomefreak | hcj: depends on what you were doing | 19:13 |
| jon__ | Hey, I've heard that it's a bad idea to upgrade distros through the gui Update Manager... is that true? | 19:13 |
| Muimi | @ hcj: After you get that error, try apt-get -f install to force an install of the files that didn't get loaded because of the error. Then try apt-get upgrade again, apt-get -f install back and forth until only the package that has the error is left. | 19:13 |
| evilbug | jon__: no. | 19:13 |
| gnomefreak | jon__: use update-manager command | 19:13 |
| jon__ | what about apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:14 |
| hcj | it always says it is something with java 6 | 19:14 |
| gnomefreak | jon__: better and recommended you use update-manager as it can fix any problems that dist-upgrade may not fix | 19:14 |
| jon__ | so run apt-get dist-upgrade then update-manager? | 19:15 |
| Muimi | I also read that you should read manpage for dpkg and apt-get if you are going to use debian unstable (Sid)... | 19:15 |
| Muimi | @ hcj. | 19:15 |
| gnomefreak | jon__: run update-manager from command line | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | Muimi, try imgbrn in windows , it's the best img and iso burn app in window in my experience | 19:15 |
| jon__ | gnomefreak, Ok, gotcha you're saying update-manager is better and recommended | 19:15 |
| gnomefreak | it should prompt you that there is a new version of ubuntu | 19:15 |
| hcj | yeah i did iso image burner | 19:15 |
| jon__ | gnomefreak, what's up with apt-get... does it just not work well? | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | Muimi, http://www.imgburn.com/ | 19:16 |
| hcj | i did have to mess with the bios to get it to install @muimi | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | hcj, @ doen't work on irc clients , just the nick is fine | 19:17 |
| gnomefreak | jon__: it works but if you have a problem app or a problem with a package update-manager can fix most of them were as dist-upgrade(when jumping ubuntu versions, not packages) can cause problems | 19:17 |
| augdawg | when i try to branch somehting from launchpad, gnome asks me to unlock the keyring. can anyone tell me how to bypass this? (i have forgotten my password) | 19:17 |
| hcj | also anything i try to install something the install freezes.... idk wut to do... | 19:18 |
| gnomefreak | jon__: main problems that can pop up is version of packages in PPAs or outside repos | 19:18 |
| jon__ | gnomefreak, thanks, another thing I'm concerned about, this is a fresh installation of 9.04 because I tried 10.10 on my laptop, but the live version wasn't working correctly. | 19:18 |
| jon__ | gnomefreak, do you think upgrading will break something? | 19:18 |
| gnomefreak | not sure what you mean. but since you mentioned it you are best to upgrade from 9.04->9.10->10.04- | 19:19 |

| BluesKaj | nimbiotics, make sure you have smb servers install on the other linux machine , it's also a good idea to both smb clients and servers installed | 19:21 |

| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, To remove Ubuntu from a drive, you can simply delete the partitions associated with it. | 20:13 |
| FrozenFire[work] | If you wish to absolutely remove the data, you would need to overwrite the partitions with zeroes first. | 20:13 |

| tomtom354 | I suspect a DVD drive is hanging shutdown. how to i temporarily disable it for diagnostic reasons? | 20:15 |
| FrozenFire[work] | If you wish to simply remove the MBR from pointing to GRUB, you can use sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd* bs=512 count=1 | 20:15 |

| FrozenFire[work] | tomtom354, Typically, I would recommend disabling it in the BIOS if it is causing problems. | 20:19 |

| bonhoffer | evertime i type sudo | 20:21 |

| bonhoffer | of course it changes the uid #, but the error is the same -- any thoughts? | 20:21 |
| FrozenFire[work] | nimbiotics, In my experience, Samba can be a bit buggy if you rely on Nautilus to retrieve and display the share list. | 20:21 |
| FrozenFire[work] | So, I would recommend addressing the system directly by hostname. | 20:21 |
| nimbiotics | yes there is, should i use a pwd for the usr in win?? | 20:22 |
| New0 | ok i will ask not vague... i have sony VPCF12KFX with Nvidia display card GT 330M and my screen not show me all the system (i don't) see my buttom panel but after i install (active) the driver from Additional Drivers and reboot it's went bank | 20:22 |

| FrozenFire[work] | nimbiotics, Try addressing the share directly via the location bar. | 20:22 |
| New0 | i_is_broke i only see the driver from Additional Driver under System > Administration | 20:23 |

| Muimi | Oh crap. I had the same error you had. Never mind. | 20:39 |

| cyborgsmurf | a_bug: anyways, do you know a solution | 20:40 |
| capcbd | I have ubuntu installed on a external harddrive and it won't let me boot in to windows without it plugged in | 20:40 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, And within that, does it provide additional information about the graphics card? | 20:40 |
| Shorty | under display adapters it says Intel(R) HD Graphics | 20:40 |
| blue_pearl | Kevin-Laptop, aah i see its a Creative sound card | 20:40 |
| a_bug | cyborgsmurf: have you gone to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput | 20:41 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, What's the model of your laptop? | 20:41 |
| Muimi | cyborgsmurf: you selected the wrong keyboard type? | 20:41 |
| a_bug | it has something about SCIM and UIM cyborgsmurf | 20:41 |
| Kevin-Laptop | blue_pearl: so like how do I fix it? | 20:41 |
| a_bug | so maybe that's your problem | 20:41 |
| Muimi | cyborgsmurf: i had the error like 5 times, man... | 20:41 |
| Shorty | Gateway Nv79 | 20:41 |
| a_bug | or listen to Muimi he seems to know better | 20:41 |
| Muimi | cyborgsmurf: it's the auto keyboard detect. It doesn't work. | 20:41 |
| Onryo_ | Ladysm0ke are you using Grub or how are you booting your system? | 20:41 |
| blue_pearl | Kevin-Laptop, havent used any sound card of them let me see if there is some drivres available | 20:41 |
| Saya | I do all of this manual http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/wiki/Linux_support, but I get an error http://paste.enzotools.org/show/1384/ | 20:41 |
| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, What it sounds like is that you have misconfigured your BIOS to boot from the external hard disk, instead of your internal disk. | 20:41 |
| cyborgsmurf | Muimi: strange thing is that it works everywhere else besides at sharedtalk | 20:41 |
| Kevin-Laptop | blue_pearl: ok thanks | 20:41 |
| LadySm0ke | yes, Dell laptop with Vista and installed 10.04 with wubi | 20:41 |
| Muimi | cyborgsmurf: You need to figure out exactly what kind of keyboard you have and then use that keyboard. | 20:42 |
| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, Removing the MBR from the external hard disk will not fix the problem. | 20:42 |
| LadySm0ke | worked fine for almost a year | 20:42 |
| Muimi | It happened everywhere but in VIM for me. | 20:42 |
| burntoutlamp | hey people I feel stupid but how I can access the files in the root directory? I keep doing cd /srv/share blah and can't get in | 20:42 |
| Muimi | I was using CLI-only. | 20:42 |
| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, You will need to enter your BIOS and change your boot order to boot from the internal HDD first. | 20:42 |
| cyborgsmurf | Muimi: okay I will try that... (hope this dosent makes things worse) | 20:42 |
| blue_pearl | Kevin-Laptop, i guess the driver is not available in default repo of ubuntu so the update did not install it...u will have to install it frm source . let me check if there is any link available 2 dwnld | 20:42 |
| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, If the drive will still not boot, you will need to install the Windows MBR and to the internal disk. | 20:42 |
| Muimi | I don't see why it would. Just make sure your software matches your hardware. | 20:42 |
| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, Unfortunately, that is beyond the scope of Ubuntu support. | 20:42 |
| Kevin-Laptop | blue_pearl: okay | 20:43 |
| FrozenFire[work] | capcbd, You might seek support in the Windows channel. | 20:43 |
| Muimi | If that doesn't work, come back.... but also check a_bug's page, please. It looks like it is loaded with awesome information. | 20:43 |
| Shorty | FrozenFire[work] Gateway NV79 | 20:43 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Yeah, sorry, just multitasking here :P | 20:43 |
| FrozenFire[work] | A moment. | 20:43 |

| Shorty | np | 20:44 |
| Onryo_ | LadySm0ke sounds like the boot loader is messed up. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 20:44 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Reading a few relevant forums postings, it seems that the problem *might* resolve itself if you simply boot into the root terminal and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 20:44 |
| FrozenFire[work] | This should upgrade your kernel, which will provide working display drivers. | 20:44 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, If that does not resolve it, feel free to come back and we can offer further advice ;) | 20:45 |
| Shorty | ok i'll try | 20:45 |
| Onryo_ | Since I am not sure if you are duel booting etc I just sent you a link. | 20:45 |
| Shorty | just type exactly what you said | 20:45 |
| LadySm0ke | Onryo_, already tried it, but after i run the mount command, it says "wrong fs type..." | 20:45 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Type exactly this: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 20:45 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Or run each apt-get thing separately. | 20:45 |
| LadySm0ke | that's when i boot on a Live CD, of course | 20:46 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, A word of warning, though, if you're using wireless, it may not work. | 20:46 |
| Shorty | ok i'll try thanks | 20:46 |
| a_bug | why won't it work with wireless | 20:46 |
| Onryo_ | ouch might have a windows bootloader that over wrote your grub. Did you try grub-install -v ? | 20:46 |
| LadySm0ke | nope, but i can try now - hold on | 20:47 |

| jaraco|x | I'm reading about Upstart in ubuntu and comparing it against daemontools.

| carandraug | hi! Does anyone knows why there's a ubuntu-10.04 and an ubuntu-10.04.1 iso files? | 20:55 |
| LadySm0ke | can someone help me with this boot up problem? Ubuntu 10.04 installed from wubi, reboots when I select Ubuntu on startup - tried fixing GRUB but doesn't work for some reason, error messages everywhere | 20:55 |
| john__ | o | 20:55 |
| a_bug | varun_: please read about them, info is readily available | 20:55 |
| Muimi | It flashes and restarts, smoke? | 20:56 |
| LadySm0ke | yes Muimi | 20:56 |
| FrozenFire[work] | LadySm0ke, It's almost certainly a boot loader issue. | 20:56 |
| guntbert | carandraug: LTS releases get a "point" update several weeks after the actual release (to increase long term stability) | 20:56 |
| idletask | Does anyone know when the base CD will have decent partitioning capabilities? I've had to go for the alternate install CD to set up LVM, and this was without even using software RAID :/ | 20:57 |
| LadySm0ke | that's why I tried reinstalling grub, but no matter what i do, after mounting a directory it doesn't let me touch anything else | 20:57 |
| carandraug | guntbert, oh! I didn't knew that. Thanks | 20:57 |
| Muimi | Alright... fresh install? | 20:57 |
| guntbert | carandraug: you're welcome :-) | 20:57 |
| FrozenFire[work] | LadySm0ke, Did you run?: sudo grub-install /dev/sd<a, b, c etc> | 20:57 |
| fat_freddys_cat | hello i want to install amarok 2.2. where can i get it? | 20:58 |
| idletask | LadySm0ke: "after mounting a directory"? Care to elaborate? | 20:58 |
| LadySm0ke | yes i did, and trust me... doesn't let me | 20:58 |
| Muimi | Alright alright.... Is it a fresh install? | 20:58 |
| FrozenFire[work] | LadySm0ke, What error messages does it provide? | 20:58 |
| LadySm0ke | nope, worked on it since release - after the last update it's when it started happening, 2 days ago | 20:58 |
| cyborgsmurf | Muimi: on sharedtalk, it dosent respond when I try to switch input | 20:58 |
| Muimi | Okay. What did you do also, right before? | 20:58 |
| FrozenFire[work] | LadySm0ke, Keep in mind that you're running grub-install to the disk device, not to a partition. | 20:58 |
| Muimi | You don't switch it on sharedtalk you switch it at the OS level. | 20:59 |
| LadySm0ke | "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3..." | 20:59 |
| FrozenFire[work] | LadySm0ke, Run grub-install /dev/sda | 20:59 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Not sda3 | 20:59 |
| jon__ | Hello | 20:59 |
| capcbd | well my interal harddrive is the first in th boot line up and I can't don't know how to register with the windows channel | 20:59 |
| cyborgsmurf | Muimi: how do you mean? | 20:59 |
| blue_pearl | fat_freddys_cat, hi did u try http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Download | 20:59 |
| LadySm0ke | going for it Frozenball | 21:00 |
| capcbd | I really messed things up this time | 21:00 |
| Muimi | You're going to have to wait a tic because we're working with LadySm0ke. | 21:00 |
| LadySm0ke | error: cannot find a device for boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) - answer YES, i just mounted it | 21:00 |
| capcbd | TBH I didn't think installing ubuntu to an external would work | 21:01 |
| Muimi | I got nothing, LadySm0ke. I feel like this usually happens when people install using Wubi. | 21:02 |
| tomtom354 | I am trying to view log information about shutdown do to a bug. Is there any way to capture this such as the command -dmesg? | 21:02 |
| fat_freddys_cat | blue_pearl, yes i have. it automatically installs the current version of 10.04 | 21:02 |
| Muimi | Since it happens at grub, though, you may also want to try ##grub b/c they may have seen this many times before. | 21:02 |
| LadySm0ke | then any ideas on how to get the files in ubuntu? i just need to get my hands on files i got for school | 21:03 |
| capcbd | you talking to me Muimi? | 21:03 |
| anygivenname | how do I connect to a workgroup ? | 21:03 |
| Khaotic | where is the cdrom directory? | 21:03 |
| nimbiotics | Pease help me!! im using gadmin-samba on ubuntu 10.10. So far I havent been able to share devices within my mixed windoze/linux LAN. The status I get on gadmin-samba is "Activated, inactive servers: nmbd". Can someone please help this noob get this fixed??? TIA! | 21:03 |
| LadySm0ke | thanks Muimi, will try that - still any idea on how to get to the files in there? even if i have to format? | 21:03 |
| Muimi | No... LadySm0ke. Maybe use a live CD and back the data up onto an external, Lady. | 21:03 |
| LadySm0ke | that's fine, i'm on the live, will try now - thanks | 21:04 |
| cyborgsmurf | LadySm0ke: maybe you should try booting the OS from the disc and then copy all the files to a USB or the like | 21:04 |
| blue_pearl | fat_freddys_cat, http://amarok.kde.org/en/releases/2.2 | 21:04 |
| Muimi | I'll look around a little more, but it seems that many people give up on this error.... I may end up doing the same. I wish you could get some kind of error report out. Good luck. | 21:04 |
| frustro | hi all, did an update last night, now i cant get x to recognize my crt display mode. it's at 1024x768 amd should be 1280x768 | 21:05 |
| frustro | tried reinstalling nvidia drivers | 21:05 |
| bradahl | frustro. you using ubuntu? | 21:05 |
| Muimi | capcbd, if you don't have USB DD as a boot option in your BIOS, USB isn't going to work. | 21:06 |
| LadySm0ke | will do - specially the ones i got after installing 10.04 - after every update or installation of a package i'd get an error with obm2... got it for over 6 months. you think that might be the cause of it, after the synaptics update? | 21:06 |

| Chiwauwa | Hi, my MythBackend is running Ubuntu 10.10. From time to time it doesn't start ... or it is waiting for the user to make a selection in Grub - can be seen, when I hook it up to a monitor. The list will contain recovery options. Does this sound like something went wrong with the last boot up and Grub is then presenting recovery options and waiting for user input. I guess that one workaround is to enable 'GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true'? ... not taking | 21:07 |
| Chiwauwa | the reason for the boot failure into account | 21:07 |
| Muimi | There's channels for that kind of stuff. It's sad that you had to reformat. Try #xwindows next time.... There's a channel for almost everything in Linux. | 21:07 |

| ChaoRhi | Morcegolas: as in a thin client? | 21:14 |
| jon__ | guntbert, ubottu says he doesn't know anything about you | 21:14 |
| Muimi | Because the ubuntu installer almost always maps the wrong Japanese keyboard making it difficult to switch back to Roman keys. I thought that was the problem you had described? | 21:14 |
| HazardX | Morcegolas, that's probably your system bios (not ubunut) | 21:14 |
| HazardX | well, possibly anyway | 21:15 |
| zzzxzzz | blue_pearl what u think? r u still here | 21:15 |
| Muimi | edison_, I don't think that you have to do that. You can install them in any order, especially if you're using two different harddrives. | 21:15 |

| Muimi | Unless you mean repairing the MBR? | 21:15 |
| a_bug | could it be the POST failing ? | 21:15 |
| guntbert | jon__: I'd be highly surprised if she would tell you anything about me :-) - the reason she answered was that youused a ! as first character of a line | 21:15 |
| frustro | ChaoRhi, after update, 1280x768 is no longer available as CRT size, nor is it a resolution....I can force the resolution with panning...but it thinks my m monitor native display is 1024x768 | 21:15 |

| Muimi | anygivenname, did you see the other link to do it in xubuntu? | 21:17 |
| edison_ | Muimi thx.. does it have to do with which hardrive it is.. i mean master or slave.. does windows xp have any restriction to be on master or slave... | 21:17 |

| bonhoffer | tim is not allowed to run sudo on li24-105. This incident will be reported. | 21:24 |
| FiXe | i m l ooking for the way of add to a tar.gz file created, another file | 21:24 |
| meowz | rats__: why don't you read a guide on how to effectively communicate with people? | 21:24 |
| carandraug | NewOne, "aptitude search audacious" | 21:25 |
| NewOne | carandraug ok sudo apt-get install was ok sorry | 21:25 |
| Muimi | sharedtalk is for Rosettastone, right? | 21:25 |
| guntbert | noobie25: don't worry - and keep asking :-) | 21:25 |
| Nadav | whats the command to change password for a user? | 21:25 |
| Nadav | passwd -? | 21:25 |
| ChaoRhi | meowz: if you don't like the answers, either do your own research or don't ask the question | 21:25 |
| guntbert | !root | Nadav | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Nadav: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:25 |
| cyborgsmurf | a_bug: well, Miumi thought the trouble was not being able to type anywhere except in sharedtalk, when it actually was the other way around. In other words... no. | 21:25 |
| guntbert | !sudo | Nadav | 21:25 |
| Muimi | It's not a program, but it's inside a browser, too. | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Nadav: 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 | 21:26 |
| bonhoffer | carandraug: any thoughts on how to get me sudo on my server | 21:26 |
| meowz | ChaoRhi: how about, if someone is insisting (such as you, or rats___), they should be warned to stop trolling? | 21:26 |
| rats__ | sry | 21:26 |
| Nadav | i know what sudo is, I need to change a password for a user | 21:26 |
| Nadav | so sudo passwd but what is the parameter I need to use? | 21:26 |
| Nadav | the help file doesnt specify something about change | 21:26 |
| FiXe | i m l ooking for the way of add to a tar.gz file created, another file | 21:26 |
| Muimi | So, cyborgsmurf, I guess that the problem is likely something to do with your browser not supporting the website, right? | 21:26 |
| guntbert | Nadav: sorry, I was referring to your question in freenode | 21:26 |
| Muimi | Have you tried different browsers? | 21:26 |
| carandraug | bonhoffer, no. but on mine. It all in caps (except user name) and it works | 21:26 |
| blue_pearl | Nadav, sudo "username" passwd | 21:26 |
| guntbert | Nadav: sudo passwd <accountname> | 21:26 |
| Muimi | And also, have you tried changing character sets? | 21:26 |
| Nadav | thanks | 21:26 |
| edison_ | Muimi... do you think, since 2 separate drives, choosing OS via bios setting is better than dual boot... | 21:27 |
| bonhoffer | carandraug: so put my username inall caps? | 21:27 |
| Nadav | guntbert Im not going to use it, I download a ubuntu machine I just want to change the user password, not the root | 21:27 |
| NewOne | carandraug is it ok if i use sudo apt-get install instead ? | 21:27 |
| carandraug | bonhoffer, try "tim ALL=(ALL) ALL" | 21:27 |
| ChaoRhi | meowz: hoi, don't peepee on my shoes and tell me it's raining. | 21:27 |
| cyborgsmurf | Some_Person: English pls | 21:27 |
| bonhoffer | carandraug: o.k. | 21:27 |
| cyborgsmurf | Muimi: let me try g-chrome... | 21:27 |
| root_ | jjansjanjansas | 21:27 |
| root_ | a | 21:27 |
| Nadav | please welcome me to the world of obontu! | 21:27 |
| root_ | a | 21:27 |
| carandraug | bonhoffer, no. Not the username. Just every instance of the word all. I don't know if it makes a difference. Also, make sure you don't have some other rule for tim that goes against that | 21:27 |
| Some_Person | cyborgsmurf: substitute sed for used | 21:27 |
| edison_ | Muimi.. thx... I have to leave.. I will try again and get back to here... thx again | 21:27 |
| NewOne | carandraug and by the way aptitude find it | 21:28 |
| guntbert | Nadav: understood :-) (btw even if we advise against something you are free to do it anyway :-)) | 21:28 |
| carandraug | NewOne, yes. it's ok | 21:28 |
| st | root_, we can hear you | 21:28 |
| NewOne | carandraug tnx | 21:28 |
| rats__ | actually im not sorry- I hope someone did get something out of it | 21:28 |
| bonhoffer | carandraug: thanks -- works! | 21:28 |
| carandraug | bonhoffer, or maybe make sure that tim is not part of some group, a group whose limit to sudo is restricted | 21:28 |
| carandraug | bonhoffer, no problem | 21:28 |
| cyborgsmurf | Some_Person: okay | 21:29 |
| root_ | msn craack | 21:29 |
| root_ | msn crack | 21:29 |
| a_bug | lol | 21:29 |
| LjL | root_: do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 21:29 |
| root_ | doy | 21:29 |
| ChaoRhi | rats__: Exactly. Don't apologise because someone wasn't satisfied with the several correct answers he got | 21:29 |
| root_ | do you know how to crack msn password | 21:29 |
| carandraug | Nadav, use passwd | 21:29 |
| guntbert | root_: and don't irc as root | 21:29 |
| Nadav | I should used bridged network to enable network on my vmware ubuntu right? | 21:30 |
| Nadav | carandraug I already did, thanks | 21:30 |
| root_ | ? | 21:30 |
| LjL | root_: cracking is offtopic | 21:30 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Nadav, Depends upon what sort of connection you're trying to accomplish. | 21:30 |
| HazardX | is there any kind of management utility for upstart? | 21:30 |
| bradahl | root_ ..sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get install amsn | 21:30 |

| NewOne | my compter just freeze again, and i notice that this is my second time that this is hepping. after i open up terminal and do one command and i sweath between programs, than i switch to terminal again and my computer went freeze | 21:30 |

| FrozenFire[work] | Nadav, A bridged connection is typically to give the guest direct access to the networking adapter. | 21:31 |
| a_bug | that was for root_ 's benefit | 21:31 |
| anygivenname | does the filesystem CIFS support fie sizes larger than 2GB ? | 21:31 |

| Muimi | edison_... Microsoft Reserved Partition 36. What is a Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR)? The Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software. GPT disks do not allow hidden sectors. Software components that formerly used hidden sectors now allocate portions of the MSR for component-specific partitions. For example, converting | 21:31 |
| Muimi | a basic disk to a dynamic disk causes the MSR on that disk to be reduced in size and a newly created partition holds the dynamic disk database. The MSR has the Partition GUID: | 21:31 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Nadav, You probably just want NAT | 21:31 |

| root_ | hzhzhzfrdok | 21:32 |
| Nadav | aha, well just out of curiousity, if the vmhost got a connection to my network adapter, wouldnt it mean it would use the same ip? | 21:32 |
| Nadav | I assume that will NAT the DHCP service in my router will assign the vm machine a new ip | 21:32 |

| ChaoRhi | meowz: What obscene? | 21:35 |
| cyborgsmurf | a_bug: I need a freakin manual or something | 21:35 |
| carandraug | cysioland, sorry, you're right. There was a folder with the links but you'd have to do it from command line (nautilus was smart/dumb by identifying them correctly and makes it look different. Very confusing) | 21:35 |
| meowz | This isn't the conversation for this channel, you know what you did and I'm asking you politely to watch it. | 21:36 |
| FrozenFire[work] | meowz, Take it to PM ;) | 21:36 |

| Muimi | edison_: disconnect the Linux drive. Install Windows. Reconnect the Linux drive. | 21:40 |
| Muimi | All you gotta do is pull a wire out and then plug it back in. | 21:40 |
| edison_ | Muimi.. Yes I am installing XP. I could not say no and go forward... It kind of forcing me .. | 21:40 |
| st | Muimi, why? | 21:40 |
| New0 | carandraug right now the compter work just fine :P | 21:40 |
| HazardX | can anyone shead some light on why upstart isn't starting autofs for me at boot? | 21:40 |
| Muimi | Because Windows is just being a b*ch about it. You know that Ubuntu and Win can run on the same machine.... | 21:40 |
| v-himanshu | yes | 21:40 |
| Muimi | This is essentially installing Ubuntu afterwards. | 21:41 |
| === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu | ||
| edison_ | Muimi..Ooohh.. "disconnect Linux.." that is a sneak idea... could not think of it right away | 21:41 |
| Nadav | thats wierd... I cant get a internet access in my ubuntu machine | 21:41 |

| a_bug | digitalstimulus: yes ! | 21:41 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | nadav: why? | 21:41 |
| carandraug | cysioland, I'm looking for it. Really | 21:41 |

| jungeldyret | Qbit or something I'm using now | 21:42 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | jungeldyret: maybe it happens because wine doesn't have some required dlls or some windows libraries i guess | 21:42 |
| meowz | ChaoRhi: please don't PM me | 21:43 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | jungeldyret: wine is not perfect. | 21:43 |
| edison_ | Muimi.. I formatted the sda drive completely.. it has now only one partition ntfs formatted for windows to get in... now i got confused and had an idea like MBR has to reside in Windows drive or something | 21:43 |
| New0 | carandraug wierd it's took a lot of time untill i was able to see all of the messeges here | 21:43 |
| Nadav | so anyone have any idea how can I solve it? | 21:43 |
| elijah | Is there a tool to allow for multi touch gestures, such as three fingers swiped left to go back in browser history? | 21:43 |

| meowz | FrozenFire[work]: please don't PM me either | 21:43 |
| edison_ | Muimi.. finally even after cleaning up sda for windows... system was able to show grub and get into ubuntu... does this mean MBR is in sdb drive where ubuntu is... | 21:44 |

| meowz | ChaoRhi: others are doing it, i just want to make sure things don't get out of hand | 21:44 |
| NewOne | jungeldyret why won't you install virtual pc on your computer? | 21:44 |

| brontoeee | digitalstimulus, use kdenlive | 21:46 |

| Muimi | No. Office won't read *.odt | 21:47 |
| NewOne | carandraug i just install audacious on my other pc and it's different, why? | 21:47 |
| Muimi | Use the converter in OpenOffice.org | 21:47 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, I haven't used WMM much, but I have used everything from Virtualdub, avidemux, even tried lmms. PiTiVi was the default in 10.10 and the better of the lot *so far* | 21:47 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | Nadav: dsl wireless or what? | 21:47 |
| Muimi | @ cyborg... did he leave? | 21:47 |
| Muimi | yep | 21:47 |
| st | Muimi, it depends | 21:47 |

| ubuntu | ?? | 21:47 |
| Muimi | Yeah, you can jimi rig it. | 21:47 |

| NewOne | carandraug oh it's ok now | 21:48 |
| karthick87 | How do I bind .sh files to keyboard combination? | 21:48 |
| carandraug | NewOne, you're probably using audacious-gtk. Ubuntu 10.10 uses that as default. Right click and choose "Audacious" instead of "audacious (GTK)" | 21:48 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: you can enable your CD as one of the repositories, and install the package from the CD if it's included in it. | 21:48 |
| NewOne | carandraug it was gnome skin and not classic skin | 21:48 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: using synaptic. | 21:48 |

As near as I can tell I'm getting 403 errors "no access". Can anyone help me with granting access to "/media/Assimilater/xampp/htdocs/" for my server? | 21:49 |
| Muimi | all you have to do is make sure that the drive with the GRUB boot loader is prioritized first, and you will get the GRUB boot loader. | 21:49 |
| ubuntu | a_bug: oh, so I can stick in 10.10 CD, enable as repo, and ry installing that way? | 21:49 |
| Muimi | You can also write the GRUB boot loader to the win disk.... That resizing partitions crap is for people who install onto one drive. | 21:49 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: yes | 21:49 |
| NewOne | carandraug ok it is now tnx | 21:49 |
| carandraug | cysioland, you now when you said that alacarte doesn't work? Did you try to start it from command line and find out why? | 21:49 |
| Muimi | Remember, the person who wrote the ubuntu website does not speak English fluently, okay? | 21:49 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: or if you can do without it, it's ok | 21:50 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: like using wpa_supplicant for wireless, etc | 21:50 |
| Flannel | Assimilater: Are you using apache in Ubuntu? (and xampp in Windows)? | 21:50 |
| Muimi | In fact, it's a fairly safe assumption that the webmaster is around TOEFL 100. hehe | 21:50 |
| Nadav | [23:43] <_16BitSubsystem_> Nadav: what kind of internet connection are you using? | 21:50 |
| zzzxzzz | Guys need your help please, I cannot watch the whole movie on ubuntu netbook system, on windonws works fine. Is any setup? | 21:50 |
| cysioland | carandraug, It work, but it doesn't show akonaditray | 21:50 |
| a_bug | network-manager is not essential, it's just a fad | 21:50 |
| Nadav | my physical connection is a router that connects to a L2TP server | 21:50 |
| a_bug | well more useful than a fad | 21:50 |

| a_bug | zzzxzzz: what do you mean ? | 21:52 |
| cysioland | carandraug, i'm waiting | 21:52 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: what happens when you plug in the connection on your non-live cd installation ? | 21:53 |
| Muimi | And with all the open-source stuff in linux, you'd think they'd, someday, move their site to something with version control and community editting... like wiki or drupal | 21:53 |
| carandraug | NewOne, no. It's a fork from xmms I think and xmms is older than winamp. Also Winamp is not free software, audacious and xmms are | 21:53 |
| a_bug | ubuntu: you can use ifconfig to list the available interfaces | 21:53 |
| beiromber | sorry | 21:53 |

| a_bug | jg47hm: just ./filename,sh | 21:54 |
| a_bug | ./filename.sh | 21:55 |
| Flannel | Assimilater: Alright, you need to make sure that folder (/media/Assumilater/xampp/htdocs/) is readable by the 'www-data' user, which is the user apache runs as. | 21:55 |
| a_bug | if it has execute perms it will execute | 21:55 |
| carandraug | cysioland, can you find the file ~/.config/menu/applications.menu ? | 21:55 |
| Assimilater | Flannel: that's what I'm having a hard time doing | 21:55 |
| jg47hm | <a_bug> where to write ./filename,sh | 21:55 |
| a_bug | morcegolas: can you please atleast consider that it could be a BIOS problem ? | 21:55 |
| Flannel | Assimilater: Have you tried just giving everyone read permissions? | 21:55 |
| jg47hm | <a_bug> in terminal?? | 21:55 |
| frustro | jg47hm, you may have to chmod 777 FILENAME to make executable | 21:55 |
| a_bug | change your BIOS settings to disable POST or allow for POST to succeed without a display device | 21:55 |
| HazardX | frustro, chmod +x is better | 21:55 |
| a_bug | jg47hm: yes | 21:55 |
| Assimilater | Flannel: I tried going to the properties in the explorer and going to properties, and changing the "other" permissions to access files | 21:55 |
| morcegolas | a_bug: its not a bios problem, with windows this works fine | 21:56 |
| guntbert | jg47hm: don't apply 777 | 21:56 |
| NewOne | carandraug how and where can i set the Hotkey Shorcut ? like winamp !! | 21:56 |
| Assimilater | Flannel: but that didn't appear to make the changes i need | 21:56 |
| a_bug | morcegolas: same machine ? | 21:56 |
| guntbert | frustro: don't recommend 777 witout proper expalanetion/warning | 21:56 |
| guntbert | *without | 21:56 |
| jg47hm | Guys is have a file (setup.sh) is a game. how to execute it ??? | 21:56 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, openshot appears to have some serious drag and drop issues in the stable release. | 21:56 |
| jg47hm | in details pls | 21:57 |
| a_bug | digitalstimulus: really ? works for me - what kinda issues are you facing ? | 21:57 |
| Flannel | Assimilater: If you're doing it from Ubuntu, you'll need to make sure the permissions are appropriate via Ubuntu, not Windows. This probably consists of mounting that drive with more permissions than before | 21:57 |
| carandraug | NewOne, look into the plugins. It's one for that | 21:57 |
| Nadav | wow so much activity in this channel, Ill ask my question again, I am running an ubuntu 10.10 on a VM, I am connnected to the internet through a router, I have tried both Bridged connection and NAT in the VM settings, any reason why it doesnt work? | 21:57 |
| morcegolas | a_bug: yes same machine | 21:57 |
| Assimilater | currently I have the drive mounted in ubuntu | 21:57 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, If you're running the system headless, there shouldn't be any problem for Ubuntu. It's either a BIOS problem, or it's simply not a problem. | 21:57 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, What is indicating to you that it is not working? | 21:57 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Does it provide an error? | 21:57 |
| jon__ | Adding a repository w/o a key to the apt-get list will only result in the packages not being "trusted"? | 21:57 |
| guntbert | jg47hm: open a terminal, change into the directory where you downloaded/extracted the file | 21:57 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, unable to drag video clips onto the timelines, once I finally do get one on the timeline it doesn't "snap" into place and I can actually drag the colored box below the timeline and it sits there. | 21:58 |

| Assimilater | Flannel: one sec | 21:58 |
| a_bug | digitalstimulus: oops sorry - but honestly, my experience with it was 10x better than with pitivi, lives, and 2-3 more that I tried | 21:58 |
| seppy003 | hi | 21:58 |
| FrozenFire[work] | seppy003, Hello | 21:58 |
| seppy003 | i have some wierd problem with ubuntu server and wlan | 21:59 |
| jg47hm | <guntbert> i did that what i should do next?? | 21:59 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, it was worth a shot, PiTiVi seems much more mature, although much less features at the moment (10.10 repository version of PiTiVi versus the "stable" openshot release) | 21:59 |
| NewOne | carandraug Audacious Preferences > Plugins........ ????? | 21:59 |
| FrozenFire[work] | seppy003, Feel free to elaborate ;) | 21:59 |
| seppy003 | thanks | 21:59 |
| carandraug | cysioland, are you there? | 21:59 |
| seppy003 | i'm able to connect from the lan to my laptop, where is ubuntu server 10.10 installed | 21:59 |
| seppy003 | ssh and webserver are working fine | 21:59 |
| cysioland | carandraug, im there | 21:59 |
| seppy003 | but i'm unable to connect from another laptop, on wlan, to the server | 22:00 |
| guntbert | jg47hm: now type chmod -v +x setup.sh | 22:00 |
| FrozenFire[work] | seppy003, Since you are using a router with a NAT and firewall, you need to set up port forwarding. | 22:00 |
| Nadav | wow so much activity in this channel, Ill ask my question again, I am running an ubuntu 10.10 on a VM, I am connnected to the internet through a router, I have tried both Bridged connection and NAT in the VM settings, any reason why it doesnt work? :< sory for repost | 22:00 |
| seppy003 | neither ping nor ssh nor http are working | 22:00 |
| carandraug | cysioland, I went to a ubunut machine, remove an item from the menu with alacarte and noticed this change on that file. It added a exclude section. See this http://pastebin.com/20Ks5faC | 22:00 |
| seppy003 | frozenfire: i'm still in lan | 22:00 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: if I boot my machine it wont get to x and when i connect the cga cable its frozen on ubuntu image | 22:01 |
| jg47hm | <guntbert> ok next?? | 22:01 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | Nadav: that explains everything. | 22:01 |
| FrozenFire[work] | seppy003, If port forwarding is not enabled, you will be able to access it from within the LAN, but not from outside of the LAN. | 22:01 |
| HazardX | Nadav, that sounds like a problem with the VM's hypervisor, not the VM itself | 22:01 |
| guntbert | jg47hm: ./setup.sh | 22:01 |
| cysioland | carandraug, what file? | 22:01 |
| seppy003 | yeah but im am not able to access is within the lan | 22:01 |
| carandraug | NewOne, look in the plugins list. One of them is for keyboards shortcuts. Go to the geranl tabs on plugins and activate the "Gnome shortcuts" plug-in. Then, you set the shortcuts with Gnome so all programs respect the same shortcuts | 22:01 |
| carandraug | cysioland, ~/.config/menu/applications.menu ? | 22:01 |
| jon__ | seppy003, your hard wired lan and wireless lan are in two different subnets | 22:02 |
| seppy003 | nope | 22:02 |
| cysioland | i can't find akonadi there | 22:02 |
| jon__ | seppy003, they have to be | 22:02 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | Nadav: I'm very grateful with ubuntu but. Ubuntu 10.10 has a lot of bugs. | 22:02 |
| jg47hm | <guntbert> 9: function: not found x86 i thing didnt work | 22:02 |
| guntbert | Nadav: at the moment: is it set to NAt or bridged? | 22:02 |
| seppy003 | i am able to connect from the laptop to the lan | 22:02 |
| HexLaTor | hi, what's the equivalent of dreamweaver on linux ? | 22:02 |
| jon__ | seppy003, well, they don't have to | 22:02 |
| HazardX | _16BitSubsystem_, agreed | 22:02 |
| carandraug | cysioland, in my case, I removed the gbrainy from the menu, and this is what showed up http://pastebin.com/NJGFaTAX | 22:02 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, That may be an issue with your X configuration. | 22:02 |
| guntbert | jg47hm: please !pastebin the output of that command | 22:03 |
| jon__ | seppy003, what do you mean to the LAN? the LAN is a collection of devices, do you mean you can connect from the Laptop to the Server? | 22:03 |
| guntbert | !pastebin | jg47hm | 22:03 |
| ubottu | jg47hm: 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. | 22:03 |
| seppy003 | ok staring from the beginning | 22:03 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | Nadav: I guess your ubuntu 10.10 has a conflict with your router, or maybe it's the VM. | 22:03 |
| seppy003 | i have a debian server connected to the lan | 22:03 |
| jon__ | seppy003, k | 22:03 |
| Jouva | Argh argh argh argh. I'm getting that SquashFS issue with the .iso. Is there a way around using it with boot parameters? | 22:03 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: its a clean install of ubuntu | 22:04 |
| guntbert | _16BitSubsystem_: your comments seem not so helpful :-) | 22:04 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, Be that as it may, it could still be an X configuration problem. | 22:04 |
| seppy003 | than an win laptop connect to wlan (connected to lan), and i'm able to connect from this to the debian server, vice versa | 22:04 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, Is there a reason why you're running Ubuntu Desktop headless? | 22:04 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Ubuntu Server is probably better suited for that. | 22:04 |
| a_bug | HexLaTor: Quanta, komposer, hand-writing your HTML & CSS :P | 22:04 |
| seppy003 | i have a 2. laptop with ubuntu server on it, connected to wlan | 22:04 |
| _16BitSubsystem_ | guntbert: so help him!! | 22:05 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: yes I only have one monitor and this computer is for server proposes only, ftp server, torrent server, Teamspeak server... | 22:05 |
| NewOne | carandraug in general Tab (not Decoder right) GlobalHotkey? or Gnome Shortcuts? | 22:05 |
| carandraug | cysioland, after making that changes you probably need to reload the menu somehow. Can't remmeber how. Restart is probably faster than looking for how to do it | 22:05 |
| frustro | Nadav, is the VM getting an IP from the same network as the VM host? ifconfig -a from VM and ifconfig -a from host and pastebin please. | 22:05 |
| seppy003 | from the debian server i'm able to connect to the ubuntu-server laptop, but from the windows laptop, he doesn't connect | 22:05 |
| carandraug | NewOne, up to you. I use the Gnome shortcuts and works fine | 22:05 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, So run Ubuntu Server. Ubuntu Desktop is primarily intended as a graphical flavour. | 22:05 |
| jon__ | seppy003, can the server laptop connect to the debian server? | 22:05 |
| guntbert | _16BitSubsystem_: being busy at the moment, but please don't give out sentences like above "I guess .... or maybe ..." | 22:06 |
| cysioland | I reloaded WM, fails. I removed file to what linked that shortcut | 22:06 |
| a_bug | or, attach the monitor, boot up and then remove the monitor :P | 22:06 |
| jason88 | Hey everyone I got a question. Is it possible to get a driver update for my optiarc disk drive? | 22:06 |
| NewOne | carandraug what's the different ? | 22:06 |
| cysioland | carandraug, I reloaded WM, fails. I removed file to what linked that shortcut | 22:06 |
| HexLaTor | a_bug, are these php kind of ide? | 22:06 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: but since i'm a linux n00b i need to have x, and connect with teamviwer for example | 22:06 |
| seppy003 | jon__: jeah | 22:06 |
| jon__ | seppy003, k, what type of connection are you trying to make from the windows laptop to the debian server? | 22:07 |
| carandraug | cysioland, which file you removed? | 22:07 |
| davidheinrich | hi all, I'm ubuntu from before | 22:07 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: i used to have this configured in older pc with ubuntu | 22:07 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, Well, I suppose here might be an opportunity to learn ;) | 22:07 |
| seppy003 | jon__:ssh, but this works | 22:07 |
| davidheinrich | I'm trying o get network-manager-gnome back in my install, b/c I can't connect to the internet | 22:07 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, It'd be a bit silly to try to run a server using only graphical utilities. | 22:07 |
| a_bug | HexLaTor: well, kompozer is . APtana has a php extension | 22:07 |
| jon__ | seppy003, so what isn't working? | 22:07 |
| davidheinrich | I'm in Ubuntu 10.10 liveCD now, is here a way I can use apt-get to download the deb files for it so that I can put them ona USB and install on my system after rebooting? | 22:07 |
| carandraug | NewOne, choose the plugin and click on information | 22:07 |
| seppy003 | the connection form windows laptop to ubuntu laptop | 22:08 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, have you tried PiTiVi lately? I had really lost hope for non-linear video editing before I used it in 10.04 | 22:08 |
| HexLaTor | a_bug, tnx,i'll take a look | 22:08 |
| graphitemaster | I would like to rebork a bug in ubuntu | 22:08 |
| jason88 | my disk drive isn't working right, and I couldn't find anything by searching google. Anyone have any suggestions? | 22:08 |
| graphitemaster | report a bug... | 22:08 |
| jon__ | seppy003, oh, and what type of connection are you trying to make there? | 22:08 |
| Jouva | Anybody know of a workaround or fix for the squashfs issue with installs? It looks like it's an issue within the .iso itself, cause using Universal USB Installer gave errors when 7Zip tried to extract the squashfs file | 22:08 |
| a_bug | digitalstimulus: nope - two years ago | 22:08 |

| a_bug | digitalstimulus: has it improved dramatically since then ? | 22:08 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: let me try another thing, i'm going to restart my pc | 22:08 |
| jon__ | seppy003, are you able to ping back and forth? | 22:08 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, I don't know about two years ago, but it is very nice, clean, stable, and fast | 22:08 |
| Nadav | guntbert at the moment it set as Bridged | 22:08 |
| digitalstimulus | a_bug, I also do not edit THAT much video, so I can't vouch for daily use of it, just occasional use here | 22:09 |
| seppy003 | only from debian server to ubuntu server | 22:09 |
| guntbert | Nadav: ok, do you have a DHCP server in your real network? | 22:09 |
| a_bug | digitalstimulus: thanks, as long as it doesn't crash | 22:09 |
| a_bug | digitalstimulus: will give it a a try too, thanks | 22:09 |
| jason88 | I even tried to install a windows driver through wine but I don't know if it's really legit | 22:09 |
| NewOne | carandraug hooo you mean instead of gnome's Keyboard Shortcuts i can use the global that not have to deal with gnome. right? | 22:09 |
| jon__ | seppy003, so you can't even ping the ubuntu laptop from the windows laptop... | 22:09 |
| owen1__ | anyone with macbookpro5,1 was able to install ubuntu/xubuntu? | 22:09 |
| Nadav | yeah | 22:09 |
| davidheinrich | anyone ave a suggestion on apt-get to d/l the .deb files??? | 22:09 |
| graphitemaster | ubuntu-bug libaa-bin 'instlling this package halts: frezzing apt, requiring you to manually kill apt, and remove the lock file and traces of the package, --reinstall switch causes the same issue, on Kubuntu 10.10' | 22:10 |
| seppy003 | jon__:thats the point | 22:10 |
| Nadav | guntbert, yeah I got a dhcp server | 22:10 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, What type of drive is it, and what is the partition format of the volume you're trying to access? | 22:10 |
| FrozenFire[work] | filesystem format, that is. | 22:10 |
| carandraug | cysioland, and after removing the file and restarting, the icon is still there? | 22:10 |
| jon__ | seppy003, I just want to make sure we are on the same page. | 22:10 |
| carandraug | NewOne, yes | 22:10 |
| jon__ | seppy003, what are the IPs on each? | 22:10 |
| guntbert | Nadav: ok, then tell your guest system to use "automatic" method for IP configuration | 22:10 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, Also, it's worth noting that filesystem drivers from Windows will not function in Linux. | 22:11 |

| seppy003 | jon__: windows 192.168.0.33, debian: 192.168.0.70, ubuntu:192.168.0.73 | 22:11 |
| carandraug | NewOne, but in my opinion is better to have the Gnome. If one day you use another player, the shortcuts will the same. And the volume up and down, will be shared with movie players | 22:11 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: Sorry I meant my CD/DVD drive. I'm assuming you thought my harddrive? | 22:11 |
| cysioland | yes | 22:11 |
| cysioland | carandraug, yes | 22:11 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, Yeah, that's what I had thought. | 22:11 |
| frustro | Nadav, I have had problems with the default adapter type in VBOX, if that's what you are using. I had to change it. Settings>Network>Advanced>Adapter Type> I use the Intel Pro/1000 MT Server.. that resolved my network problems. | 22:12 |
| davidheinrich | a_bug: what about sudo apt-get install "program name" --download-only ??? | 22:12 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, If you open System->Administration->Disk Utility, do you see the optical drive listed there? | 22:12 |

| Nadav | guntbert the guest system is ubuntu, I'm pretty sure its the default? | 22:12 |
| Nadav | also. could the problem be with the ubuntu version? | 22:12 |
| a_bug | davidheinrich: probably better :D | 22:12 |
| guntbert | Nadav: unlikely, please look at the config | 22:12 |
| jon__ | seppy003, do they all have the same netmask? | 22:12 |
| carandraug | cysioland, sorry. Don't know what else. This should have something http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html | 22:12 |
| Nadav | guntbert, ifconfig? plase be patient with me :) | 22:13 |
| seppy003 | jon__:sure 255.255.255.0 | 22:13 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Nadav, It's worth mentioning that there's a VirtualBox channel. | 22:13 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: Yes. I have an optiarc dvd rw ad-7560A fw ver. DS04 | 22:13 |
| FrozenFire[work] | They're probably better suited to help. | 22:13 |
| a_bug | seppy003: can you enable promisc mode and paste the out | 22:13 |
| davidheinrich | a_bug: arrrg!~!! when I do that, it says "network-manager-gnome is already the newest version! wtf | 22:13 |
| a_bug | put of pinging one host from another (unsuccessful ) | 22:13 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, And, clicking on it, is there media listed? | 22:13 |
| davidheinrich | a_bug: why is it ignoring the download-only option | 22:13 |
| Nadav | FrozenFire[work] I ask in both channels | 22:13 |
| jon__ | a_bug, what do you use, wireshark? | 22:14 |
| a_bug | jon__: no, tcpdump | 22:14 |
| seppy003 | a_bug:unfortunately not | 22:14 |
| a_bug | seppy003: sudo tcpdump -i any -nXSs 1514 | 22:14 |
| guntbert | Nadav: no worries: in the guest right click on the network icon, select edit connections, on the "wired " tab there is one connection, click on "edit" | 22:14 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, Additionally, are you certain that the disc you've inserted in the drive is working? | 22:14 |
| Four2zero | hello everyone. what is the default set permission for the users /home directories.? | 22:14 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: Well, I don't have anything in at this moment. I'm having problems burning cds and it doesn't read DVDs. | 22:14 |
| a_bug | sudo ifconfig eth0 promisc; sudo tcpdump -i any -nXSs 1514 | 22:14 |
| a_bug | and then ping | 22:14 |
| graphitemaster | literally iy halts here: Preparing to replace libaa-bin 1.4p5-38build1 (using .../libaa-bin_1.4p5-38build1_i386.deb) ... | 22:14 |
| graphitemaster | Unpacking replacement libaa-bin ... | 22:14 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, You may need to install ubunu-restricted-extras to read DVDs | 22:15 |
| Nadav | alright guntbert, what then? | 22:15 |
| guntbert | FrozenFire[work]: right but his issue might be with ubuntu after all | 22:15 |
| Nadav | oh, its set to automatic, dhcp | 22:15 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, Unfortunately, DVD movies are typically encrypted with a scheme called CSS | 22:15 |
| a_bug | davidheinrich: it's already installed so it won't get the deb file anymore I guess | 22:15 |
| guntbert | Nadav: thats what I wanted to check | 22:15 |
| FrozenFire[work] | A special library is required to decrypt them. | 22:15 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, As for CDs, you'd need to elaborate further on the issue. | 22:16 |
| === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc | ||
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: Ok thank you. But when I use a cd burning program, it shows it's doing progress, but once it's all done, it shows as a blank cd. | 22:16 |
| seppy003 | a_bug:did it, getting results but not from the laptop | 22:16 |
| TheLolrus | does anyone know how to take a screenshot with imagemagick with effects enabled? It doesn't take screenshot of all the effects and such | 22:16 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, What burning software are you using? Brasero? | 22:16 |
| Nadav | well, guntbert any idea on what I can do? :p | 22:16 |
| a_bug | seppy003: are you pinging from the laptop with the wireless lan interface ? | 22:16 |
| jon__ | seppy003, you'll see a lot of random traffic, you are looking for anything related to your ping, i.e. with source address from the server | 22:16 |
| a_bug | then you will have to do sudo ifconfig wlan0 promisc (instead of eth0) | 22:17 |
| a_bug | and repeat the command | 22:17 |
| guntbert | Nadav: now close that again, and in a terminal type: ip ad, you should get several lines - after eth0.... ther is one starting with "inet..." | 22:17 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: Yes, I've even tried gnomebake, or something like that. Still shows as a blank cd afterwards | 22:17 |
| a_bug | yes, like jon__ said, add a filter for your own host | 22:17 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, It could be an issue with the device drivers for your drive. A moment while I look it up. | 22:17 |
| beiromber | some one have an idea how to install Licq 1,5 source on maverick? | 22:17 |
| a_bug | damnit this is tough | 22:17 |
| a_bug | bye | 22:17 |
| Nadav | inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo | 22:17 |
| seppy003 | a_bug: sure | 22:17 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: I'll brb I have to go | 22:18 |
| guntbert | Nadav: not that one, further down | 22:18 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, cdrecord -v checkdrive | 22:18 |
| jon__ | this command is so cool: wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - | 22:18 |
| TheLolrus | does anyone know how to take a screenshot with imagemagick with effects enabled? | 22:18 |
| seppy003 | jon__:yeah but not from windows laptop | 22:18 |
| Nadav | guntbert | 22:18 |
| Nadav | 2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 | 22:18 |
| Nadav | link/ether 00:0c:29:f6:49:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff | 22:18 |
| Nadav | ? | 22:18 |
| FloodBot1 | Nadav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:18 |
| jon__ | seppy003, which are you initiating the ping from? | 22:19 |
| Nadav | thats the only one I have other then what I've posted | 22:19 |
| seppy003 | windows laptop | 22:19 |
| guntbert | Nadav: I see - did you enable/connect the virtual adapter in vbox? | 22:19 |
| FrozenFire[work] | TheLolrus, The import command takes the screenshot. | 22:19 |
| Nadav | yeah | 22:19 |
| Nadav | I removed the network adapter and readded | 22:19 |
| jon__ | seppy003, so with tcpdump running on the ubuntu you aren't seeing anything... what about if you initiate the ping from the ubuntu laptop? | 22:20 |
| NewOne | carandraug i check the box of gnome but where can i set it up ? | 22:20 |
| Nadav | lets see if it works | 22:20 |
| FrozenFire[work] | TheLolrus, So, specify any effect switches when using it. | 22:20 |
| carandraug | NewOne, System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts | 22:20 |
| frustro | Nadav, did you change from the default PCNET II to the intel pro/1000 MT adapter? | 22:20 |
| jon__ | seppy003, also, make sure that the firewall settings on your windows laptop permit ping traffic... I know with XP they were by default disallowing ICMP Echo (Ping) | 22:20 |
| TheLolrus | FrozenFire[work]: what so turn of my effects? | 22:20 |
| Assimilater | Flannel: We're getting it to work. Thanks | 22:20 |
| NewOne | carandraug sure i'm there but what do i need to look for ? | 22:20 |
| FrozenFire[work] | TheLolrus, Sorry, rephrase that? I don't understand. | 22:21 |
| carandraug | NewOne, anything that says "Stop playback", "Next track", etc | 22:21 |
| kitobazong8720 | how can i reassign the (systemwide) shortcut ctrl+shift+u for entering unicode to a different setting? like ctrl+shift+z? | 22:21 |
| metalfan_ | hi | 22:21 |
| davidheinrich | a_arg, sudo apt-get --download-only install network-manager gave me a .dsc and .tar.gz file...I want to install them when I reboot from the hD...what do I do with these files? | 22:21 |
| Nadav | heh guntbert works now | 22:21 |
| Nadav | I used NAT and marked Connected, probaly was the problem | 22:22 |
| seppy003 | jon__:i see much trash, pinging from debian and from ubuntu server correct results | 22:22 |
| TheLolrus | FrozenFire[work]: it's not showing the transparency and blur on windows. | 22:22 |
| metalfan_ | i have a 10.04 server installation, but when i do "sudo do-release-upgrade" it says that there is no never ubuntu version? | 22:22 |
| guntbert | !yay| Nadav | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Nadav: Glad you made it! :-) | 22:22 |
| TheLolrus | FrozenFire[work]: instead it shows black blocks | 22:22 |
| Nadav | but, 192.168.189.131 this is the ip I recieved, my router suppotrs 192.168.0.1-254 | 22:22 |
| Nadav | how come? :P | 22:22 |
| Nadav | haha guntbert:p | 22:22 |
| seppy003 | jon__:ping from my windows laptop to debian works fine | 22:22 |
| jon__ | seppy003, ping from ubuntu to what? | 22:22 |
| FrozenFire[work] | TheLolrus, What format are you outputting as? | 22:22 |
| seppy003 | jon__: to its self | 22:22 |
| jon__ | seppy003, ping from ubuntu to windows and see what the tcpdump output is | 22:22 |
| FrozenFire[work] | metalfan_, Have you run apt-get update? | 22:23 |
| TheLolrus | FrozenFire[work]: I put it as png but apparently the default is MIF or something | 22:23 |
| guntbert | Nadav: the beauty of NAT - 192.168.189.131 is inside the virtual network of virtual box | 22:23 |
| metalfan_ | Frozenball, will try | 22:23 |
| Nadav | Hah! I think I got it | 22:23 |
| Frozenball | great | 22:23 |
| ejm | aaaugggh | 22:23 |
| metalfan_ | FrozenFire[work], will do | 22:23 |
| ejm | that was great timing | 22:23 |
| metalfan_ | Frozenball, sry...wrong person | 22:23 |
| Nadav | lets say my private ip is 192.168.0.12, then all the virtual machines Ill use, will use that ip as a default gateway? | 22:23 |
| Nadav | that will be their "dhcp server"?:p | 22:24 |
| seppy003 | jon__:getting the nearly the same as pinging from debian to ubuntu | 22:24 |
| FrozenFire[work] | TheLolrus, I'm not certain. You might try ##imagemagick | 22:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | guntbert, i don't remember for sure, but I thought VBox gave out 10.x.x.x IPs if NATed | 22:24 |
| davidheinrich | hello? anyone know what t odo with hese .dsc files? | 22:24 |
| graphitemaster | okay wtf | 22:24 |
| jon__ | seppy003, can you pastebin the results of pinging from ubuntu to windows? | 22:24 |
| NewOne | carandraug yea but there is already a shortcuts of my laptop special keys, but i used to Ctrl + Alt + (HOME) for example but i still want to live at as it is and set another key beside the laptop >> or << key | 22:24 |
| graphitemaster | any package in 10.10 that "unpacking replacement" <-- just locks up! | 22:25 |
| jon__ | !pastebin seppy003 | 22:25 |
| guntbert | ZykoticK9: not necessarily - and it is configurable | 22:25 |
| jon__ | !pastebin | 22:25 |
| ubottu | 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. | 22:25 |
| NewOne | carandraug do you know what i mean ? | 22:25 |
| guntbert | !language | graphitemaster | 22:25 |
| ubottu | graphitemaster: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 22:25 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: can't get this thing to work :( | 22:25 |
| seppy003 | jon__:just a second | 22:25 |
| graphitemaster | what does gdebi use to unpack ? | 22:26 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, As I said, Ubuntu Server is what you should be using. | 22:26 |
| NewOne | carandraug or may be i can use gnome key and Global key at the sametime in the software ? | 22:26 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: perhaps supply the --compile flag to to get a .deb | 22:26 |
| jon__ | k | 22:26 |
| ejm | sigh...so not all the keys work on my notebook (not linux related cause | 22:26 |
| graphitemaster | woot: I can't install any packages now that replace other packages | 22:26 |
| graphitemaster | because you know it just locks up | 22:26 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: i'm very frustated, becase I have this working in my older computer. And in ubuntu server i don't know how to use transmisssion bittorrent client for example... | 22:27 |
| ejm | anyway, I need help with my intel gm45 hdmi. The playback is tearing and the audio output doesn | 22:27 |
| FrozenFire[work] | morcegolas, Transmission has a number of interfaces. | 22:27 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: everything is realy difficult to me in terminal mode | 22:27 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: like this? sudo apt-get --download-only --compile install network-manager | 22:27 |
| FrozenFire[work] | It can run a webserver, for example. | 22:27 |
| ejm | whoops. the audio output doesnt work on my TV. | 22:27 |
| FrozenFire[work] | You can also connect to Transmission-daemon using RPC | 22:27 |
| ejm | I am running ubuntu 10.04 64bit. | 22:28 |
| ejm | i mean 10.10 64bit | 22:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | morcegolas, if you don't like command line - DON'T install Server version! you can install any services onto desktop just the same as server. | 22:28 |
| Shorty | FrozenFire[work] you around? | 22:28 |
| FrozenFire[work] | ZykoticK9, The issue is that he's trying to run a headless servver. | 22:28 |
| FrozenFire[work] | So, Ubuntu Server is what he *should* have. | 22:28 |
| morcegolas | FrozenFire[work]: i realy hate windows, but i think its the only way I have to manage my server. Just now that I was loving ubuntu | 22:28 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, I am indeed | 22:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | FrozenFire[work], NOT if they aren't comfortable in cli mode | 22:28 |
| morcegolas | ZykoticK9, but my ubuntu won't start withou a monitor on my new pc... | 22:29 |
| FrozenFire[work] | ZykoticK9, For all of the things he listed earlier, yes. | 22:29 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: yeah | 22:29 |
| Shorty | im back.. no luck with getting apt-get upate... | 22:29 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_ when I do that, it says "Download complete and in download only mode", but I don't see anything different | 22:29 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Because, for the most part, that's where the configuration of those utilities lies. | 22:29 |
| zzzxzzz | What is the longest word? | 22:29 |
| Shorty | i couldnt seen anything in root | 22:29 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Can you SSH into the system? | 22:29 |
| guntbert | Nadav: not quite, all VMs are within the virtual network, they will have a 192.168.189.xxx and their gateway will be 192.168.189.2 ( iirc), the vbox itself takes care of the rest | 22:29 |
| jon__ | Has anyone used google desktop for linux? | 22:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | morcegolas, sorry i have no idea why that would be happening. doesn't make much sense to me. good luck man. | 22:29 |
| Shorty | ssh? | 22:29 |
| zzzxzzz | What is the longest word? | 22:30 |
| seppy003 | jon__:http://pastebin.com/17MF3uwt | 22:30 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: right that's what you'd expect :) it just downloads but doesn't install it | 22:30 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: I deleted the original .dsc, .diff, and .tgz files that it d/l-ed and redid it like I posted, but it just says d/l complete and in d/l only mode, and doesn't re-get and put the files in deb format? | 22:30 |
| guntbert | !ot | zzzxzzz | 22:30 |
| ubottu | zzzxzzz: #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! | 22:30 |
| Tetrahedrex | Hi there, I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu with my USB drive. Can anyone assist? | 22:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | !ot | zzzxzzz but in english i believe it's antidisestablishmentarianism | 22:30 |
| ubottu | zzzxzzz but in english i believe it's antidisestablishmentarianism: #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! | 22:30 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Actually, come to think of it, it's not easy to install a SSH server without a network connection ;P | 22:30 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: but now it isn't d/l-ing them ata ll...it thinks they're already there, eventhoughthe directory is empty! | 22:30 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: you can do apt-get --no-download install package when you restart | 22:30 |
| zzzxzzz | Smiles, because it has a mile in between. | 22:30 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: I'm not sure where apt-get stores them | 22:31 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: I saw the files in my home directory in LiveCD | 22:31 |
| hareldvd | Ubuntu production server notifies on Login it needs to get updated. How can I perform a safe update? | 22:31 |
| Shorty | i was trying the apt-get, i could seen enough to type but after i typed the command and hit enter i couldnt tell what was going on | 22:31 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: it just d/led them to he working directory | 22:31 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, When you ran the install of Maverick, it should've asked you if you wanted to download updates during the installation. | 22:31 |
| Shorty | then i tried reinstalling and it errored again and screwed grub up | 22:31 |
| FrozenFire[work] | That's what you need to do. | 22:31 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: strange, well look in /var/cache/apt/archive | 22:31 |
| jon__ | seppy003, it looks like it's working ok, one sec | 22:31 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: * /var/cache/apt/archives | 22:31 |
| davidheinrich | ahhh, here hey are! thanks! | 22:32 |
| Shorty | everytime i select "download updates during installation" it errors | 22:32 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, How is the system connected to your network? | 22:32 |
| Shorty | wifi | 22:32 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: np | 22:32 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: so then I can just use dpkg to install hte .deb's, right? | 22:32 |
| Shorty | i dont have a hard line | 22:32 |
| Shorty | :( | 22:32 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: yessir | 22:32 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, I would strongly recommend plugging it in wired, if you can manage. | 22:32 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Because getting the wireless drivers installed without being able to see anything is pretty-well impossible :P | 22:33 |
| Shorty | think maybe 10.04 would work | 22:33 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: make sure you grab all dependencies too | 22:33 |
| Nadav | whats the equilivant of tracert on linux? | 22:33 |
| mattish | good evening :) | 22:33 |
| mattish | traceroute | 22:33 |
| jon__ | seppy003, your pings are working correctly. Is it telling you that it's not? | 22:33 |
| Nadav | makes sense :p | 22:33 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, it's possible, but I doubt it. | 22:33 |
| mattish | :) | 22:33 |
| davidheinrich | _jesse_: I think it was just network-manager-gnome and network-manager...I don't think any other deps were removed when I installed it...I hope | 22:33 |
| beiromber | sorry | 22:33 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, The issue is that you need a more recent kernel version, for your display adapter. | 22:33 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: Ok I'm back and I did that command you told me to put | 22:33 |
| beiromber | someone could help to install Licq 1.5 source on maverick? | 22:33 |
| _jesse_ | davidheinrich: ah alrighty | 22:33 |
| seppy003 | jon__: the pings from windows to ubuntu aren't working | 22:33 |
| Shorty | and theres no way for me to download the new kernel and include it in the install | 22:34 |
| FrozenFire[work] | jason88, Pastebin the output | 22:34 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, There is, but you have to be networked. | 22:34 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Basically, the issue is that you need to install updates. | 22:34 |
| FrozenFire[work] | To do so, you need to be networked. | 22:34 |
| Shorty | i mean download it in windows | 22:34 |
| jon__ | F my mouse just stopped working | 22:35 |
| FrozenFire[work] | It's possible, but since you're not very savvy, it'd be too difficult to walk you through it. | 22:35 |
| Shorty | like do everything in windows and reburn the cd to include the new kernel | 22:35 |
| Shorty | im savy on windows...been a while with linux | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Shorty, wifi is a bit of a catch22 situation. you really should plug into a hard line nic, to install/update - then you have a chance to get your wifi workings. best of luck man. | 22:35 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, You say that you can see things if you shine a flashlight into the screen, yes? | 22:35 |
| Shorty | yea anything that's white | 22:36 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Because, this is all fairly easy stuff, from the GUI :P | 22:36 |
| jon__ | nothing to worry about... alt tab works... one sec seppy003 | 22:36 |
| jason88 | FrozenFire[work]: http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=abKAs7bJ | 22:36 |
| Shorty | if its black like command line an i cannot see anythiing | 22:36 |
| Tetrahedrex | anyone have experience with problems from USB installations? | 22:36 |
| Shorty | but the install gui i can see most of what is going on | 22:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | !anyone > Tetrahedrex | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Tetrahedrex, please see my private message | 22:36 |
| Besogon | Hello. I don't know why but Gnome Do don't calculate 2+2 using Google calculate. What am I doing wrong? | 22:37 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, Are you able to run the Ubuntu Live CD? | 22:37 |
| Shorty | yea | 22:38 |
| FrozenFire[work] | That is, when you load up the install CD, it asks if you would like to "Try Ubuntu" | 22:38 |
| Shorty | works perfect | 22:38 |
| Shorty | no backlight issues on live cd | 22:38 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Shorty, You could try http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/how-to-create-an-ubuntu-update-cd-dvd | 22:38 |
| graphitemaster | two packages libaa-bin and libpam-module both will not install at all and just lock the terminal into a crazy state | 22:38 |
| seppy003 | jon__:take the time you need :D | 22:38 |
| HaxMeadroom | Anyone noticed any recent cifs problems after the most recent updates? | 22:38 |

The result upon reboot is that I get a warning that the usb stick is not there and to type S or M. I type S. When I try to execute Pharo.sh from the usb, it still says that the Pharo.sh is not executable. | 22:47 |

| ejm | so has anyone got their intel gm45 to work at all, beyond just normal use (internet, office stuff, etc)? | 22:48 |
| FrozenFire[work] | bonhoffer, To execute a directory is to list its contents. | 22:48 |
| bazhang | stilia-johny, so be patient and read the links given you first | 22:48 |
| ejm | i mean, i know intel graphics aren't top of the line stuff | 22:48 |

| intrader | Anyone, the terminal displays the windata usb file tree in a horrible greenbacks color. | 22:51 |
| seppy003 | its http | 22:52 |
| FrozenFire[work] | timposey, On *some* SD cards, there is a read-only switch. That is, a physical switch on the card. | 22:52 |
| seppy003 | jon__:which works on windwos now | 22:52 |
| FrozenFire[work] | timposey, Similarly for cameras, if you're connecting via USB. | 22:52 |
| jon__ | seppy003, your phone would still have an IP address. check the http server on ubuntu and see how many simoultaneous connections are allowed | 22:52 |
| timposey | FrozenFire[work], that was the first thing I checked, no matter where I put the switch it will not unlock | 22:53 |
| FrozenFire[work] | intrader, Regarding the executable bit, you can open the file properties, go to the permissions tab, and enable the execution permission. | 22:53 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:35 |
