| markovchain | Does anyone know the default media player for cd's in Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix? | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| kristian-aalborg | markovchain: perhaps you can find the cd, then right click it and choose play? | 01:39 |
| markovchain | When I insert a CD into a external usb cd-rom, the cd-rom shows up in system/disc utility but there is no cd that pops up anywhere or any other button to press to start the cd. | 01:57 |
| markovchain | There are however buttons to eject the CD as well as power down the disc drive, both of which work. | 01:58 |
| kristian-aalborg | is vlc there? | 02:00 |
| markovchain | I do not think so, unless it comes standard with this Ubuntu. | 02:04 |
| aveilleux | markovchain: Should be Totem. | 02:05 |
| geirha | Is it a VCD? or just a data disc with a movie file on it? | 02:05 |
| markovchain | It is just an audio CD | 02:08 |
| aveilleux | geirha, markovchain: It's just a CD | 02:08 |
| markovchain | OK, I think the problem may be that I do not have a program that can run a CD. The only music software I seem to have is Rythem Box. | 02:11 |
| aveilleux | markovchain: Install VLC or Totem | 02:13 |
| nit-wit | markovchain, which ubuntu | 02:17 |
| markovchain | 10.04 netbook remix | 02:18 |
| holstein | markovchain: unless you set it up that way | 02:29 |
| holstein | its not going to just auto play the CD | 02:29 |
| holstein | you put the CD in | 02:29 |
| holstein | and open whatever software you want | 02:29 |
| holstein | like VLC | 02:29 |
| holstein | and play the disc | 02:29 |
| holstein | the computer wont act like a CD player unless you want it to | 02:29 |
| holstein | and configure it that way | 02:29 |
| holstein | where you put a CD in and it plays | 02:30 |
| holstein | you should be able to find the mounted disc icon | 02:30 |
| holstein | right-click on it and have it play in whatever | 02:30 |

| duanedesign | aha | 10:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | I think it fares better on a FAT32 partition, though | 10:28 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's freaky... a desktop in 1,4 mb | 10:29 |
| duanedesign | heh, yeah. I have a tiny core installation. It is 10 mb | 10:31 |

| rufra__ | Install was sucessful, on the master boot drive. However after reboot it gives me a kernel panic- not synching VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0), then it also returns a 10 line call trace | 14:49 |
| rufra__ | I am unable to get the machine running at all. Currently running off the live disk | 14:50 |
| hajour | rufra__, sometimes it takes a little time for you get respons.because they are also busy with other things here on ubuntu.so dont think no one sal help ok ?:) | 14:54 |

| rufra__ | cheers. I had not | 14:57 |
| Mohan_chml | rufra__, have a look. I think that will help you. If it doesn't then please report back (: | 14:58 |
| rufra__ | however my grub settings are strange.. | 14:59 |

| Mohan_chml | don't look at the grub file of /boot/grub/grub.cfg when you are in the live CD. try finding the partition where your Ubuntu is installed and look at that grub | 15:00 |
| rufra__ | yes im looking at the grub of the hdd | 15:00 |
| rufra__ | i think that its thinking this is a partition install | 15:01 |
| rufra__ | but i have only 1 partition | 15:01 |
| rufra__ | its odd to say the least | 15:01 |
| Mohan_chml | rufra__, try re-installing grub | 15:03 |
| rufra__ | ok | 15:03 |
| rufra__ | i will | 15:03 |
| rufra__ | Mohan_chml: having probs reinstalling grub | 15:08 |
| rufra__ | i followed the code in the thread you sent me | 15:08 |
| Mohan_chml | rufra__, what happened? | 15:08 |
| rufra__ | cant chroot | 15:08 |
| Mohan_chml | rufra__, tried sudo too? | 15:09 |
| phillw | rufra__: you can either re-install grub, which is covered at http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5 or resinstall the kernel which is at http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=35- I'm not sure which one you are suffering from, but I think it is a grub issue. | 15:09 |
| rufra__ | got it cheers guys | 15:10 |
| rufra__ | phillw: having problems upgrading the grub... it says Cannot find list of partitions! | 15:15 |
| phillw | rufra__: are you following the part of http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5 that covers "When a good Grub2 becomes a poorly Grub2" ? | 15:17 |
| rufra__ | phillw: i'm unable to ugrade to grub 2. Which section 11 requires. No? | 15:18 |

| rufra__ | I noticed I should probably mention I can't even boot into recovery mode... thus the inevitable running from the live disk | 15:22 |
| rufra__ | Mohan_chml phillw: any ideas? | 15:28 |
| Mohan_chml | rufra__, I have no clue. then I should prefer you to re-install the kernel as phillw said before | 15:29 |
| Mohan_chml | I ll brb. dinner | 15:29 |
| rufra__ | ok | 15:29 |
| rufra__ | brb changing comp | 15:30 |

| Mohan_chml | okies | 15:49 |
| rufra__ | Mohan_chml: Ok, tried reinstalling grub. No joy.. going to reboot to try and update the kernel | 15:57 |
| Mohan_chml | okay | 15:57 |

| rufra__ | I just installed ubuntu today, on a brand new comp. on the master boot, no extra partitions | 16:29 |
| ibuclaw | wow, a guide I co-wrote... | 16:32 |
| ibuclaw | rufra__, I doubt kernel panics are because grub reports no operating system =) | 16:33 |
| rufra__ | i thought so.. However no one has been able to help me out.. | 16:34 |
| ibuclaw | infact, grub has already found operating system and booted it. Linux inits, loads itself into memory then starts booting. =) | 16:34 |
| rufra__ | ibuclaw: any suggestions of how to get around it? | 16:35 |
| rufra__ | ibuclaw: i have reinstalled from live cd about 5 times today. I have been trying to sort this out for about 7 hrs | 16:35 |

| fatharrahman__ | if I got a credit card is more save to deal with emails related to it at browser level or at programs such as Evolution | 19:39 |
| fatharrahman__ | ?* | 19:39 |
| fatharrahman__ | UndiFineD: is emails more save at Evoluton and shch applications han at browsers? | 19:42 |
| UndiFineD | fatharrahman__, email can be intercepted, if the mail at some point is not either encrypted or transferred via ssl, it is unsafe | 19:42 |
| fatharrahman__ | than* | 19:42 |
| UndiFineD | at browser level, all communications must do ssl as well | 19:42 |
| UndiFineD | so https | 19:42 |
| UndiFineD | browser would be safer to do this as it is 1 to 1 communications | 19:43 |
| UndiFineD | email servers pass on to eachother | 19:43 |
| fatharrahman__ | aha | 19:44 |
| fatharrahman__ | clear | 19:44 |
| UndiFineD | or use an online payment system without creditcard | 19:45 |
| fatharrahman__ | UndiFineD: please take my wormiest greetings to your family :)----ok that's clear Thanks am trying for the firs time to connect my laptop to our desktop hehe I'll try | 19:48 |
| UndiFineD | ok great, what connection type are you going to use | 19:50 |
| UndiFineD | :) | 19:51 |
| fatharrahman__ | not sure | 19:51 |
| fatharrahman__ | what? do u have an idea? | 19:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | for a newbie | 19:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | ssh | 19:53 |
| fatharrahman__ | i'll open a book and set an ssh | 19:53 |
| UndiFineD | <UndiFineD> fatharrahman__, ssh is a good commandline way | 20:37 |
| UndiFineD | <UndiFineD> you can also use nfs (for linux and other unix) or samba for file transfers | 20:37 |
| UndiFineD | there are plenty of ways to communicate between 2 systems | 20:37 |
| fatharrahman__ | what is the application for browsing other linux computer dektop ? | 20:39 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: are you running gnome? | 20:39 |
| fatharrahman__ | yes in my laptop gnome and in my desktop lxde I want to browse lxde | 20:40 |
| holstein | after setting up ssh | 20:40 |
| UndiFineD | fatharrahman__, vnc works quite well, there are other similar protocols too | 20:40 |
| holstein | you go to places - connect to server | 20:41 |
| holstein | IF your wanting to browse the files on your dekstop | 20:41 |
| holstein | IF your wanting to control the desktop remotely | 20:41 |
| holstein | then you should check out VNC | 20:41 |
| fatharrahman__ | I want to do both holstein | 20:42 |
| holstein | theres also 3rd party tools like http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx | 20:43 |
| holstein | for doing it over the internet | 20:43 |
| holstein | without needing to configure your router | 20:43 |
| fatharrahman__ | is this secure | 20:44 |
| holstein | i use ssh | 20:44 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: teamviewer? | 20:44 |
| holstein | you dont have to leave it running | 20:44 |
| holstein | BUT | 20:44 |
| fatharrahman__ | I am learnin only | 20:44 |
| holstein | try the local tools first | 20:44 |
| fatharrahman__ | at my own room | 20:44 |
| holstein | vino and vinagre | 20:44 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: open a terminal | 20:45 |
| holstein | type | 20:45 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok | 20:45 |
| holstein | vino-preferences | 20:45 |
| holstein | thats the server | 20:45 |
| holstein | you need to have that running and configured to be able to connect | 20:45 |
| fatharrahman__ | done | 20:45 |
| holstein | vino should tell you the ip address or host name | 20:46 |
| holstein | now | 20:46 |
| holstein | in theory | 20:46 |
| holstein | you should be able to go to another box | 20:46 |
| fatharrahman__ | Command 'vino-preferences' from package 'vino' (main) | 20:46 |
| fatharrahman__ | vino-preference: command not found | 20:46 |
| holstein | on your network | 20:46 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: OH | 20:46 |
| holstein | what are you running? | 20:46 |
| holstein | 10.10? | 20:46 |
| holstein | there was a change | 20:46 |
| fatharrahman__ | 10.10 | 20:46 |
| holstein | and i havnet tried the new one | 20:46 |
| holstein | let me look that up... | 20:46 |
| fatharrahman__ | aha | 20:46 |
| holstein | OH | 20:47 |
| holstein | vino-preferences | 20:47 |
| holstein | IF | 20:47 |
| holstein | you just type | 20:47 |
| holstein | vino-pr | 20:47 |
| holstein | and hit tab | 20:47 |
| fatharrahman__ | the s | 20:47 |
| holstein | it will auto complete | 20:47 |
| holstein | if the command is available | 20:48 |
| fatharrahman__ | nice | 20:48 |
| holstein | :) | 20:48 |
| holstein | SO | 20:48 |
| holstein | you get that set up | 20:48 |
| holstein | on the server side | 20:48 |
| holstein | then | 20:48 |
| holstein | go to another box on your LAN | 20:48 |
| fatharrahman__ | amenu opedned | 20:48 |
| holstein | and run vino | 20:48 |
| holstein | OR | 20:48 |

| holstein | run | 20:49 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer | 20:50 |
| holstein | then | 20:50 |
| holstein | run | 20:50 |
| fatharrahman__ | I opned thhe desktop | 20:50 |
| holstein | xtightnvcviewer 192.168.x.xxx | 20:50 |
| holstein | the IP of the box your trying to reach ^^ | 20:50 |
| holstein | http://remmina.sourceforge.net/ | 20:51 |
| holstein | ^^ that is what ubuntu is going to | 20:51 |
| holstein | for remote desktop | 20:51 |
| fatharrahman__ | it is open in desktop also after vino | 20:51 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: OH, so your connected? | 20:51 |
| holstein | vino might be in lubuntu | 20:51 |
| fatharrahman__ | wait a second you are too quick | 20:52 |
| holstein | i havnet checked | 20:52 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: yeah, sorry, im just firing a bunch of info out :) | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | am not connected | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | wo | 20:52 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: is your server running? | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | wowowow | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | I am not sure | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | I open | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | tow menus | 20:52 |
| fatharrahman__ | in each one folowing vino | 20:53 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: in theory | 20:53 |
| holstein | when you run vino | 20:53 |
| fatharrahman__ | yeh | 20:53 |
| holstein | the servers will just auto-magially show up there | 20:53 |
| fatharrahman__ | aha | 20:54 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: you in? | 20:54 |
| fatharrahman__ | Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.1.3 or fatharrahman-HP-Mini-110-1100.local. | 20:55 |
| fatharrahman__ | this I found | 20:55 |
| holstein | right | 20:55 |
| fatharrahman__ | what then | 20:55 |
| holstein | 192.168.1.3 is the server | 20:55 |
| holstein | SO | 20:55 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok | 20:55 |
| holstein | on the other box | 20:55 |
| fatharrahman__ | I typed | 20:56 |
| holstein | you need to connect to that machine | 20:56 |
| holstein | with something | 20:56 |
| fatharrahman__ | no | 20:56 |
| holstein | whatever you feel comfortable with | 20:56 |
| fatharrahman__ | I pressed alwow others to control your desktop | 20:56 |
| holstein | yeah | 20:56 |
| holstein | which is fine | 20:56 |
| holstein | you can put a password in | 20:56 |
| holstein | if you want | 20:56 |
| holstein | BUT | 20:56 |
| holstein | your behind a firewall | 20:56 |
| fatharrahman__ | not sure | 20:57 |
| holstein | you have a router prolly | 20:58 |
| holstein | to have more that one computer connected | 20:58 |
| holstein | and that has a firewall | 20:58 |
| fatharrahman__ | should I type a password | 20:58 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: i do | 20:58 |
| holstein | but i wouldnt worry about it right now | 20:58 |
| holstein | for a quick test | 20:58 |
| holstein | im just making sure your aware of the security concerns | 20:58 |
| holstein | which are minimal for your situation | 20:59 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: go ahead and go over to the other machine now | 20:59 |
| frox | hi, does anyone have experience with overclocking while running ubuntu? I'm having a problem with cpu frequency scaling overriding the bios settings. | 20:59 |
| fatharrahman__ | I have HUAWEI home gate way | 20:59 |
| holstein | im not sure how your hardware works fatharrahman__ | 21:00 |
| holstein | but i have a router | 21:00 |
| holstein | as my gateway | 21:00 |
| holstein | and it has a firewall | 21:00 |
| holstein | and i forward ports to my server machine | 21:00 |
| holstein | as needed | 21:00 |
| fatharrahman__ | am not sure about security | 21:00 |
| holstein | SO if i have a laptop here | 21:01 |
| holstein | and i run a VNC server on it | 21:01 |
| fatharrahman__ | never heard | 21:01 |
| holstein | no port is forwarded to it | 21:01 |
| holstein | SO you can 'hack' me | 21:01 |
| holstein | in theory | 21:01 |
| holstein | STILL no harm in setting a passwork | 21:01 |
| holstein | password* | 21:01 |
| holstein | IF i wanted you to be able to connect to my machine | 21:02 |
| holstein | thats how i would do it | 21:02 |
| fatharrahman__ | how to make that | 21:02 |
| holstein | forward a port in my router | 21:02 |
| holstein | set a password | 21:02 |
| fatharrahman__ | password to the tow connected desktop? | 21:02 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok | 21:02 |
| holstein | and give you my IP and password | 21:02 |
| fatharrahman__ | nice | 21:02 |
| holstein | :) | 21:02 |
| holstein | BUT teamviewer is a much easier way to get that same thing going on | 21:02 |
| fatharrahman__ | :) | 21:02 |
| holstein | without configuring a router | 21:02 |
| fatharrahman__ | yeh | 21:03 |
| holstein | say, if your grandma was running ubuntu | 21:03 |
| holstein | and you wanted to help her | 21:03 |
| holstein | and not talk about a router configuration with her ;) | 21:03 |
| holstein | ANYWAYS | 21:03 |
| fatharrahman__ | am I your grandma :) | 21:03 |
| holstein | go to the other box | 21:03 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok | 21:03 |
| holstein | the one you want to connect from | 21:03 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok | 21:04 |
| holstein | see if you have vino | 21:04 |
| fatharrahman__ | I did | 21:04 |
| holstein | is it there? | 21:04 |
| holstein | OH | 21:04 |
| fatharrahman__ | yes | 21:04 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: sorry... | 21:04 |
| fatharrahman__ | why | 21:05 |
| holstein | vinagre | 21:05 |
| holstein | thats the viewer | 21:05 |
| holstein | see if you have vinagre on the lubuntu box | 21:05 |
| fatharrahman__ | Remot desk top Preference | 21:05 |
| fatharrahman__ | same in both | 21:05 |
| holstein | OK | 21:06 |
| holstein | on the lubuntu box | 21:06 |
| holstein | you dont need the server running | 21:06 |
| holstein | you can have it running | 21:06 |
| holstein | BUT you dont need it | 21:06 |
| holstein | you just launch | 21:06 |
| holstein | vinagre | 21:06 |
| holstein | and you should see the remote connection availalbe to you | 21:06 |
| fatharrahman__ | I typed vino and it is opened | 21:07 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: yeah, close vino | 21:07 |
| holstein | that was my bad | 21:07 |
| holstein | close | 21:07 |
| holstein | vino | 21:07 |
| holstein | and run vinagre | 21:07 |
| fatharrahman__ | in laptop or desktop ? | 21:07 |
| holstein | laptop is the lubuntu? | 21:07 |
| holstein | right? | 21:07 |
| holstein | your wanting to connect to the desktop? | 21:08 |
| fatharrahman__ | laptop is ubuntu desktop lubuntu I want control desktop | 21:08 |
| holstein | OK | 21:08 |
| holstein | so on the desktop | 21:08 |
| holstein | you ran vino-preferences | 21:08 |
| fatharrahman__ | yah | 21:08 |
| holstein | and turned the server on | 21:08 |
| holstein | ont he laptop | 21:09 |
| holstein | run | 21:09 |
| holstein | vinagre | 21:09 |
| holstein | and you'll see the connection there | 21:09 |
| holstein | IF vinagre is installed there, if not, we'll install a viewer | 21:09 |
| fatharrahman__ | yes a viewer | 21:11 |
| fatharrahman__ | appeared | 21:11 |
| holstein | :) | 21:11 |
| holstein | thats about it | 21:11 |
| holstein | assuming the connection shows up automatically | 21:11 |
| holstein | and it should | 21:11 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: you dont have to access these settings from the command line | 21:12 |
| holstein | they are in different places in LXDE and gnome AFAIK | 21:12 |
| holstein | vinagre should be called 'remote desktop viewer' | 21:13 |
| fatharrahman__ | I pressed connect and a menu asked for host | 21:13 |
| holstein | and vino is somewhere in system settings | 21:13 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: OK so you can use the IP | 21:13 |
| holstein | of the host | 21:13 |
| holstein | 192.168.2.3 ?? | 21:13 |
| holstein | i think it was | 21:13 |
| holstein | whatever vino told you it was | 21:13 |
| fatharrahman__ | 1 in place of 2 | 21:14 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok you mean it is the laptop adress? | 21:14 |
| holstein | where ever your trying to connect | 21:14 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: your not going to break anything trying the wrong IP address | 21:16 |
| fatharrahman__ | ok | 21:16 |
| fatharrahman__ | is the vnc gonna be secure if I made a passwrd in my laptop remote preferences | 21:17 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: this is all on your LAN | 21:17 |
| holstein | behind your firewall | 21:18 |
| fatharrahman__ | but not in desktop ones | 21:18 |
| holstein | SO all should be secure back there | 21:18 |
| holstein | whatever you do | 21:18 |
| holstein | between the computers | 21:18 |
| holstein | IF you trust your network | 21:18 |
| holstein | if you dont have a lot of wifi connected folk you dont know about | 21:18 |
| fatharrahman__ | ? | 21:19 |
| holstein | lets say you router has wifi | 21:19 |
| holstein | and its open | 21:19 |
| holstein | unencrypted | 21:19 |
| holstein | and i drive up to your house | 21:19 |
| holstein | and connect to your box | 21:19 |
| holstein | and guess your password | 21:19 |
| holstein | thats worst case scenario i think | 21:20 |
| holstein | if you have a normally safe network you trust | 21:20 |
| holstein | then you got no worries | 21:20 |
| fatharrahman__ | the gate way got a mac password from the company | 21:21 |
| fatharrahman__ | no one know it to get wifi | 21:21 |
| holstein | yeah | 21:21 |
| holstein | i wouldnt sweat it then | 21:21 |
| gfarmer | Hello. I have two internal hard drives, and sometimes 1 external, but I want both of my internals to mount upon startup. | 21:21 |
| holstein | me connecting and hacking you right now would be VERY unlikely | 21:22 |
| holstein | through your firewall | 21:22 |
| gfarmer | the problem is that the device name changes for fstab depending on if my external is plugged in or not. Any tips? | 21:22 |
| holstein | gfarmer: does the UUID change? | 21:22 |
| fatharrahman__ | holstein an error message told me connection closed ? | 21:22 |
| holstein | fatharrahman__: double check the password | 21:23 |
| gfarmer | how do I check the UUID? | 21:23 |
| holstein | and maybe log out of the server machine and back in fatharrahman__ | 21:23 |
| holstein | double check pass and IP | 21:23 |
| holstein | gfarmer: i used gparted somehow | 21:23 |
| holstein | i only had to do it one time | 21:23 |
| holstein | BUT i used UUID instead of path | 21:24 |
| holstein | didnt have any issues | 21:24 |
| gfarmer | my one internal goes from /dev/sda1 to something else when I boot with my external | 21:24 |
| holstein | yeah, my EEE does that sometimes | 21:24 |
| holstein | can be a drag | 21:24 |
| holstein | uuid should be constant though | 21:24 |
| gfarmer | how do I find the UUID? | 21:25 |
| holstein | i used gparted | 21:25 |
| holstein | from the running installation | 21:25 |
| holstein | let me look... | 21:25 |
| holstein | gfarmer: yeah | 21:27 |
| holstein | i find it in gparted | 21:27 |
| holstein | let me get a screenshot.... | 21:27 |
| gfarmer | where in gparted? | 21:27 |
| gfarmer | do you have to select a menu option? | 21:27 |
| gfarmer | oh, nm | 21:28 |
| gfarmer | under partition, Information gives it when i click the drive | 21:28 |
| gfarmer | ok, so how do I used that in fstab exactly? | 21:29 |
| holstein | http://holstein.shacknet.nu/screenshots/Screenshot.png | 21:30 |
| holstein | ...too late... | 21:30 |
| holstein | gfarmer: let me see if i can find that | 21:30 |
| gfarmer | haha, thanks | 21:30 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 21:31 |
| holstein | down the page a bit | 21:31 |
| holstein | in examples | 21:31 |
| holstein | UUID=be35a709-c787-4198-a903-d5fdc80ab2f8 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 21:31 |
| gfarmer | got it | 21:31 |
| gfarmer | sweet | 21:31 |
| gfarmer | thanks | 21:31 |
| holstein | :) | 21:31 |
| gfarmer | is there an easier way to do the automatic mounting? I like how cleanly it creates a folder in /media, mounts the drive, and all that jazz when you click on a mountable drive in "Places" | 21:32 |
| gfarmer | but I can't find how to do that; just how to mount it to a permanent directory | 21:33 |
| holstein | not sure | 21:33 |
| holstein | ive only used a dir | 21:33 |
| holstein | i know what you mean though... | 21:33 |
| gfarmer | yeah; I just wish I could figure out what all is going on when you do that nice little button click | 21:34 |
| holstein | hehe | 21:34 |
| gfarmer | this should work fine though; thanks for the tip | 21:34 |
| holstein | magic ;) | 21:34 |
| holstein | gfarmer: anytime | 21:34 |
| oldtropador | I am very very new to ubuntu, but I am an old dos used I need help Instaling app's in the app pool? non Dep pacakages? | 21:34 |
| holstein | hey oldtropador | 21:34 |
| holstein | what are you running? | 21:34 |
| holstein | 10.10? | 21:34 |
| oldtropador | yes | 21:35 |
| holstein | what are you trying to install? | 21:35 |
| oldtropador | boinc | 21:36 |
| oldtropador | and new drivers for my gtx460 | 21:37 |
| holstein | im not sure about the drivers | 21:38 |
| holstein | are you using the proprietary nividia drivers? | 21:38 |
| holstein | nvidia* | 21:38 |
| holstein | i have one nvidia card running here on a 64bit box | 21:38 |
| holstein | and the open source drivers are fine for my needs | 21:38 |
| holstein | anyways... | 21:38 |
| holstein | boinc | 21:38 |
| holstein | well | 21:39 |
| holstein | software in general | 21:39 |
| holstein | you can always build whatever you want | 21:39 |
| oldtropador | also ati diver the new catylist | 21:39 |
| holstein | the process is usually different depending on the softwarre | 21:39 |
| holstein | and its dependancies | 21:39 |
| holstein | BUT | 21:39 |
| holstein | i always tell new folk to go in this order | 21:40 |
| holstein | first | 21:40 |
| holstein | try the ubuntu repos | 21:40 |
| holstein | the extra ones too | 21:40 |
| holstein | and i looks like boinc is in the repos | 21:41 |
| holstein | boinc - metapackage for the BOINC client and the manager | 21:41 |
| yofel | oldtropador: are you using nvidia or ati? gtx460 sounds like nvidia | 21:41 |
| holstein | oldtropador: have you tried that version? | 21:41 |
| oldtropador | you are talking over my head | 21:41 |
| holstein | oldtropador: sorry | 21:42 |
| holstein | have you installed any software yet? | 21:42 |
| holstein | used any package manager? | 21:42 |
| holstein | i'll take a step back... | 21:42 |
| oldtropador | I am building a new rig and want to run under ubunta | 21:42 |
| holstein | you can run 'software center' | 21:43 |
| oldtropador | I also have may current rig with dual boot | 21:43 |
| yofel | oldtropador: to install software, go to Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center | 21:43 |
| holstein | and search for boinc | 21:43 |
| oldtropador | it dose not see my gtx460 | 21:43 |
| oldtropador | the version inthe software centrer is an older version | 21:44 |
| yofel | oldtropador: what do you mean with 'it does not see my gtx460'? and what version does it show | 21:44 |
| * holstein ...biab... | 21:45 | |
| holstein | yofel: o/ | 21:45 |
| yofel | holstein: o/ | 21:45 |
| oldtropador | I need the new version so bboinc can use the gtx460 | 21:45 |
| oldtropador | and i need the newer drivers | 21:46 |
| yofel | oldtropador: I checked the boinc website, maverick (10.10) has the newest boinc version, but you need to have the proprietary nvidia driver installed for CUDA | 21:46 |
| yofel | maverick has 260.19.06, is that not new enough? | 21:46 |
| yofel | (current is 260.19.21) | 21:47 |
| yofel | er, 260.19.26 actually, but does it now work with 260.19.06? | 21:48 |
| oldtropador | what is or where is maverick | 21:48 |
| yofel | oldtropador: that's the name of the ubuntu release, Maverick Meerkat 10.10 | 21:48 |
| oldtropador | yes to your question on the driver | 21:48 |
| yofel | oldtropador: which release are you using? | 21:48 |
| oldtropador | i CAN ANSWER i'MM IN WINDOWAT THE MOMENT | 21:49 |
| aveilleux | Cruise control | 21:50 |
| oldtropador | I just down loaded it and installe d with a thumb drive | 21:50 |
| yofel | ok, well, if you need the newest driver, it's available here https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ | 21:50 |
| oldtropador | thanks | 21:52 |
| yofel | oldtropador: come back if you need help in adding the PPA | 21:53 |
| oldtropador | I'm in a chalenge session at the moment at prime grid an can't sut dowon | 21:55 |
| oldtropador | but I know where you guy's are now . Thanks for the help!! | 21:56 |
| kristian-aalborg | can I unmount my home partition, then split it? | 22:07 |
| deejoe | non-destructively? | 22:10 |
| deejoe | kristian-aalborg: how full is it? | 22:10 |
| kristian-aalborg | deejoe: hi | 22:11 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes, I'd prefer not to mess anything up | 22:11 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's very, erm, unfull? | 22:11 |
| deejoe | kristian-aalborg: under some circumstances, it's possible, but it's not something I'd consider beginner-level | 22:11 |
| kristian-aalborg | 300 megs used out of a 2 gigs or so | 22:11 |
| kristian-aalborg | deejoe: I only hang out here to feel young ;) | 22:12 |
| deejoe | haha, ok | 22:12 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'd do it from a livecd, but I can't run that many (cd's) | 22:12 |
| kristian-aalborg | I got dsl running right now, though | 22:12 |
| deejoe | if you've got /home on an LVM volume, and it's got an ext2 or ext3 filesystem, you can use resize2fs to shrink the filesystem, then lvmumble to resize the LVM | 22:12 |
| kristian-aalborg | it's lucid | 22:13 |
| deejoe | lvresize | 22:13 |
| deejoe | I honestly don't know what a default lucid install uses | 22:13 |
| deejoe | what lucid I have has been upgraded from previous versions. | 22:14 |
| gfarmer | kristian-aalborg: you could also try using gparted, right? | 22:14 |
| deejoe | issuing 'less /etc/fstab' should show you what filesystem /home uses (if indeed it is a separate partition) | 22:15 |
| deejoe | and if you get something intelligible out of issuing 'sudo lvdisplay' then you're probably in good shape there | 22:15 |
| kristian-aalborg | gfarmer: unfortunately not | 22:15 |
| deejoe | kristian-aalborg: of coures, all of these carries extreme hazard for your data, so you'll want to have an archive and a backup of it, or be prepared to lose it if something goes amiss. | 22:16 |
| kristian-aalborg | hmmmm | 22:17 |
| kristian-aalborg | I might be getting a new drive to boot from soon, perhaps I'd better wait | 22:19 |
| dAMMERUNG | I'm looking for an FS that can be read-write by Windows 7, OSX, and Linux and also can handle files 8GB. any recommendations? | 22:25 |
| kristian-aalborg | ntfs? | 22:26 |
| kristian-aalborg | deejoe: would it be less risky and more easy to do make just a 5 mb (or so) fat32 partition? | 22:27 |
| dAMMERUNG | OSX can't rw NTFS | 22:27 |
| kristian-aalborg | sorry, I thought so | 22:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | fat32 then? | 22:29 |
| dAMMERUNG | fat32 can't handle files 8GB | 22:30 |
| gfarmer | exit | 22:30 |
| dAMMERUNG | i know it's silly. the anti-competitiveness of MS and Apple really ticks me off | 22:31 |
| aveilleux | dAMMERUNG: That's less of an anticompetitive practice and more of a reasonable limitation on the technology of that time | 22:32 |
| aveilleux | dAMMERUNG: FAT32 has been around for decades, and when it was designed nobody thought people would need files larger than 8GB | 22:33 |
| yofel | well, another PC with a drive shared over samba would probably pull that off, but I think ntfs is probably the best option on your local system | 22:33 |
| dAMMERUNG | yeah but it'd be so easy for them to add rw for ext4 and xfs and the like, they just don't | 22:33 |
| dAMMERUNG | it's actually for an external usb drive that I want to be able to access from any of my machines yofel | 22:34 |
| aveilleux | dAMMERUNG: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ | 22:34 |
| yofel | dAMMERUNG: can't OSX write to ext2? | 22:34 |
| dAMMERUNG | thanks aveilleux, though that's still no write | 22:35 |
| * yofel isn't sure how large files ext2 can handle though | 22:35 | |
| aveilleux | dAMMERUNG: ext2 would be the fs you want... there's an ext2 driver for Windows, and OSX can natively handle ext2 | 22:35 |
| dAMMERUNG | looks like you're right aveilleux it can also handle up to 16GB | 22:36 |
| aveilleux | dAMMERUNG: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 22:36 |
| dAMMERUNG | great thanks looks like it will work | 22:38 |
| dAMMERUNG | i'll probably test it on a spare drive first | 22:39 |
| Bizurke | I'm wondering about using swap on a 10.04 VPS running one wordpress site. I'm not a fan of swap, but I see my memory get maxed out really fast and I would like to have some room for error. Would tuning swapiness for a webserver be advised? | 23:38 |
| holstein | how does it run with swap turned off? | 23:39 |
| Bizurke | just fine until I get over 10 clients connected | 23:39 |
| Bizurke | I noticed that it never hits swap at all, so i was thinking I should make it do so | 23:39 |
| holstein | you on a solid state disc? | 23:39 |
| holstein | hard drive* | 23:40 |
| Bizurke | it's a VPS, I just have access through a CP to allocate swap, then I can tune swapiness. I'm sure it's on a RAID array | 23:40 |
| Bizurke | like, a hosted vps | 23:40 |
| holstein | OH | 23:40 |
| holstein | yeah, so its not even your hardware :) | 23:40 |
| Bizurke | exactly | 23:40 |
| Bizurke | I've never had this problem with debian servers of the same specs | 23:41 |
| Bizurke | I can run 50 apache sessions with only like half of my ram being used. But on Ubuntu 10 session will halt my server | 23:41 |
| holstein | Bizurke: 10.04? | 23:41 |
| holstein | hmmm | 23:41 |
| Bizurke | yeah | 23:41 |
| holstein | yeah, i see up there | 23:41 |
| holstein | interesing | 23:41 |
| holstein | is it up to date? | 23:41 |
| Bizurke | indeed | 23:41 |
| Bizurke | I'm thinking I might have to ditch apache for lighthttpd | 23:42 |
| Bizurke | surprisingly apache is using more memory than mysql | 23:42 |
| holstein | ive never needed to do anything other than a stock setup | 23:43 |
| holstein | auto partitioning | 23:43 |
| holstein | i know ubuntu-server is slow... | 23:44 |
| holstein | #ubuntu-server* | 23:44 |
| holstein | the support channel | 23:44 |
| holstein | if you can hang out there though | 23:44 |
| Bizurke | ah, didn't even realize that excsted | 23:44 |
| Bizurke | existed* | 23:44 |
| holstein | im sure someone there would be more savvy | 23:44 |
| Bizurke | probably | 23:44 |
| holstein | Bizurke: i pinged a guy in my LUG | 23:44 |
| holstein | that is running buntu on a VPS | 23:45 |
| Bizurke | sweet | 23:45 |
| holstein | no word though | 23:45 |
| holstein | yet | 23:45 |
| holstein | if i get him, i'll try and get you guys talking :) | 23:45 |
| Bizurke | awesome | 23:45 |
| Bizurke | I think I might just buy more ram and be lazy | 23:46 |
