| tensorpudding | vacho: cp is documented in the manpage, but basically all you need to know is cp <oldfile> <newfile> | 00:01 |
| vacho | ok thank you | 00:01 |
| tensorpudding | and the -R option allows you to recursively copy directories | 00:01 |
| tensorpudding | not sure what you mean by hidden files | 00:02 |
| craigbass1976 | tensorpudding, .file? | 00:02 |
| vacho | I want to recursively copy everything incuding .files | 00:02 |
| tensorpudding | ls by default will not show files starting with ., but ls -a will | 00:02 |

| tensorpudding | luxurymode: if they depend on cocoa, no | 00:06 |
| luxurymode | i want to use textexpander | 00:07 |
| tensorpudding | luxurymode: there are tons of programs that run without modification on both, but they're using the Unixy bits only | 00:07 |
| Thanos_b161 | the problem is that it was running yesterday (not the optical) | 00:07 |
| tensorpudding | or they're using wxwidgets and some cross-platform stack like python, java, ruby, etc. | 00:07 |
| luxurymode | tensorpudding: right. so would i just download from website and try to run it ;) ? | 00:07 |
| vacho | I wish there was a wordpress + ubuntu Web server expert here :) | 00:08 |

| tensorpudding | since mac appfiles are not binary compatible | 00:08 |

| dork | craigbass1976: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ssh - then do ssh -X youruser@localhost | 01:05 |
| cxo | Why is that if i copy one file at a time over my wireless i get 2mb/s, but if i have two files copying at once, i get 2mb/s + 1mb/s ? | 01:05 |
| dork | have her authenticate, run firefox | 01:05 |
| dork | otherwise you'll have to hand edit xorg.conf for x11 redirect which would be fine but ssh is the most simple/secure way of approaching it | 01:05 |
| craigbass1976 | dork, AHA!!!! su - craig. Then sudo xhost + Then gedit, firefox, whatever app I want | 01:05 |
| dork | and you can set her up for passwordless authentication from localhost if you need to | 01:05 |
| Barridus | can anyone suggest a good USA mirror for the repositories? i've used the select best feature in the update manager but found later that whatever it told me that day was slower on another. i'd like to avoid doing that every time. thanks :) | 01:05 |
| dork | ah ok i stand corrected | 01:06 |
| highclasshole | join ubuntu-offtopic | 01:06 |
| craigbass1976 | dork, then I can just do sudo xhost - to turn security back on | 01:06 |
| flourishing7 | hello everyone. How can the firewall in Ubuntu 10.10 be adjusted to start automatically after every boot? | 01:06 |
| xangua | flourishing7: it does | 01:06 |
| dork | craigbass1976: gotcha | 01:06 |
| craigbass1976 | dork, now what the blazes did I want to do this for... I can't remember what the file was I was after... | 01:07 |
| highclasshole | flourishing7: save your iptables state | 01:07 |
| dork | hah | 01:07 |
| cxo | highclasshole, why, whats happening over there? | 01:07 |
| otak | cxo: limiting factor is not wireless but disk writes | 01:07 |
| highclasshole | forgot a slash | 01:07 |
| nemo_ | I'm not even sure vmware tools is running, I tried 'ps x' in a terminal, not seeing something with vmware running | 01:08 |
| flourishing7 | highclasshole - how can I save iptables state? | 01:08 |
| highclasshole | nemo_: did you check the readings on your tricoder? | 01:08 |
| === SpenccerBR is now known as brunfc1702 | ||
| cxo | iptables-save > file | 01:08 |
| highclasshole | flourishing7: sudo /etc/init.d/iptables save | 01:08 |
| greezmunkey | nemo_: check vmwares site, the instructions and what not are all there. | 01:08 |
| === brunfc1702 is now known as brunofc1702 | ||
| nemo_ | tricoder ? | 01:08 |
| highclasshole | nemo_: yeah check the tricoder readings on your vm | 01:09 |
| flourishing7 | thank you - I am beginner | 01:09 |
| ryokea | highclasshole: awesome, just plain awesome | 01:09 |
| highclasshole | ;) | 01:09 |
| skullboy | back | 01:09 |
| greezmunkey | tricorders on, phasers on kill | 01:09 |
| highclasshole | nemo_: if you need more info ask spock for help | 01:09 |
| nemo_ | rrrriiiiight | 01:10 |
| === brunofc1702 is now known as SpenccerBR | ||
| skullboy | now who was talkin to me | 01:10 |
| nemo_ | is there a terminal command other than ps x to see if vmware tools is actually running ? | 01:10 |
| edbian | nemo_, ps -e why would you need another tool to see processes running? | 01:10 |
| edbian | nemo_, top | 01:11 |
| afterdark | top | 01:11 |
| greezmunkey | nemo_: look in the menus for the vmware window, I believe there is an option to install tools - I guess I'll have to go boot my laptop to tell you how to do it... | 01:11 |
| greezmunkey | s/menus for/menus of | 01:12 |
| nemo_ | with ps -e, I found vmmemctl and vmtoolsd running | 01:12 |
| Chetic | ubuntu 10.10 live cd, how do I mount my ntfs file system for writing? | 01:12 |
| Ortizimo | vizzle u here | 01:12 |
| skullboy | so i have files on my pc i want to install a different ubuntu based os can i install alongside mine grab the files off there and resize the partition | 01:12 |
| Vizzle | y | 01:12 |
| edbian | Chetic, places -> computer -> the drive | 01:12 |
| edbian | Chetic, double click it | 01:13 |
| Ortizimo | man its not working | 01:13 |
| Vizzle | Ortizimo, WHAT UP | 01:13 |
| Vizzle | srry for caps | 01:13 |
| Ortizimo | np | 01:13 |
| skullboy | so i have files on my pc i want to install a different ubuntu based os can i install alongside mine grab the files off there and resize the partition | 01:13 |
| Tanthrix | Would there be any issues with using an ext2 formatted drive for a main media drive? I'm looking to use a partition format that will make for the best possible recovery if I ever have a drive failure | 01:13 |
| === fcon is now known as dbsd | ||
| edbian | skullboy, yes | 01:13 |
| Tanthrix | From what I've read, ext3 is less likely to be recoverable, hence my thought of using ext2. | 01:13 |
| NightTrain_ | t.org | 01:13 |
| === dbsd is now known as yum | ||
| edbian | Tanthrix, There are no problems with that. I don't know what is best for recovery | 01:13 |
| Ortizimo | k nothing worked | 01:13 |
| === yum is now known as dum | ||
| Ortizimo | i still have an ext3 | 01:13 |
| edbian | Tanthrix, Not sure if ext2 is supported anymore though | 01:13 |
| Ortizimo | hdd | 01:13 |
| skullboy | ok so if this goes badly can i recover my files | 01:13 |
| Tanthrix | edbian: K, thanks. | 01:14 |
| edbian | skullboy, Possibly but it's difficult and I've never done such a thing | 01:14 |
| edbian | Tanthrix, no prob | 01:14 |
| nemo_ | the vmware tools is installed and running apparently. I don't see how to make it work right, like the copy/paste and guest res fit | 01:14 |
| Chetic | edbian: ah the problem was that I couldn't read from my old home directory.. how do I solve that? | 01:14 |
| edbian | Chetic, sudo chmod 777 /path/to/folder | 01:14 |
| edbian | Chetic, Or sudo chown <your userName> /path/to/folder | 01:15 |
| skullboy | so how would i go about resizeing the partition after installing the other os | 01:15 |
| edbian | Chetic, or and you'll want a -R on that | 01:15 |
| edbian | skullboy, Using gparted on a live CD | 01:15 |

| hblount | hi. a have lubuntu 10.10. i have problem with video not showing, only audio works. this just started happening, after i tried to "repair" an incomplete file with VLC. now nothing wokrs and all videos only have audio and a black screen. i tried reboot,check diff video files,and use other players. same problem. can anyone help?streaming vids from websites like youtube still works | 01:17 |
| Chetic | edbian, that sure solved it! thank you very very much :) | 01:18 |
| edbian | Chetic, no problem. Want me to explain? | 01:18 |
| skullboy | how risky is this | 01:18 |
| edbian | skullboy, Installing a new OS is not very risky if you know what you're doing. | 01:18 |
| edbian | skullboy, But then again the same can be said about using an OS | 01:18 |
| edbian | skullboy, or driving | 01:19 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Have you tried marking VLC for re-installation? | 01:19 |
| skullboy | no i mean takeing resizeing the partition my os is on | 01:19 |
| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||
| Linuxsapien | no one in xchat to help, can someone tell me how to install the python or perl plugin please? | 01:20 |
| skullboy | no i mean takeing resizeing the partition my os is on | 01:20 |
| edbian | Linuxsapien, python / perl plugin for what? | 01:20 |
| abstrakt | Linuxsapien, all you should need to do is install python and perl | 01:20 |
| edbian | skullboy, That's slightly more dangerous. I've done it probably a dozen times in the past 3 years without a single error though. | 01:20 |
| Linuxsapien | note "xchat" | 01:20 |
| abstrakt | Linuxsapien, if ubuntu's xchat isn't compile with python or perl support then you'll ned to recompile from source on your own | 01:20 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: you mean uninstall and reinstall vlc? | 01:21 |
| skullboy | so how do i do it properly | 01:21 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Yes effectively speaking | 01:21 |
| skullboy | sorry i really dont wanna screw up | 01:21 |
| abstrakt | skullboy, just back up | 01:21 |
| abstrakt | skullboy, if you back up then nothing matters, you can do a clean wipe if you want | 01:21 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: IF that doesn't work delete ~/.vlc | 01:22 |
| abstrakt | skullboy, or you can still just try gparted and if it corrupts your data you still have your important files on backup | 01:22 |
| sbeck_ | skullboy, is it a primary or a logical partition (in a extended one) ? | 01:22 |
| abstrakt | skullboy, there's really no substitute for backup | 01:22 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: no, but i didnt think that would help since i tried movie player and gnome mplayer and its the same problem | 01:22 |
| edbian | skullboy, Just use gparted and double check yourself. Did I just tell gparted to delete everything? If the answer is "no" then you're fine | 01:22 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: WHat is in place of no video? blue screen? Black screen? | 01:23 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: black screen | 01:23 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: I wonder if the "xv" output (xvideo) is working... | 01:23 |
| skullboy | primary | 01:24 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: idk about that. how do i check? | 01:24 |
| Diamondcite | I'm too use to using "mplayer" the command line.. | 01:24 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Assuming it's installed.. try "mplayer -vo x11 /path/to/video.here" | 01:25 |
| sbeck_ | skullboy, at first I only can recommend you to backup your files as there always is a chance to loose some when you edit partitions. | 01:25 |
| nemo_ | not sure if this is what is needed to be done, but I'm messing around in /usr/bin/ and just ran sudo vm-support | 01:25 |
| aszpain2 | is it possible to revert the version of a package? I mean: Imagine you install a new version of the package but now u want to return to the old version is it possible? | 01:25 |
| highclasshole | nemo_: can you put your tricoder readings in pastebin, that will help | 01:26 |
| nemo_ | got this '/usr/bin/vm-support: line 60: [: -eq: unary operator expected' | 01:26 |
| sbeck_ | After that you could use gparted from a live cd. | 01:26 |
| SuperPaco69 | does any one knows if I can run the SAE apps in Ubuntu??? | 01:26 |
| highclasshole | SuperPaco69: SAE? | 01:26 |
| SuperPaco69 | highclasshole, yes a management application | 01:26 |
| nemo | eh. | 01:27 |
| * nemo is tired of being highlighted | 01:27 | |
| highclasshole | SuperPaco69: thanks that helps..... but for everyone else who has no idea what you are talking about, can you please be more specific | 01:27 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: that worked! do you know what the problem is now and what i should do to fix this? | 01:28 |
| SuperPaco69 | highclasshole, I will come back with more info | 01:28 |
| magicianlord | is ubuntu going commercial? | 01:28 |
| kcorcoran_ | i am compiling source, just typed in 'make' and hit enter...while this is running i checked my CPU utilization. i noticed the processing is bouncing back and forth between the two cores...is there a switch i can add to 'make' to force (aqlmost) full utilization of the cpu's to speed up the compiling process? | 01:29 |
| greezmunkey | too bad nemo left, I had his answer, like just now... | 01:29 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Your xvideo extension seems to be broken, unfortunately I don't know how to fix that at the moment. | 01:29 |
| ryokea | kcorcoran: i use make -j3 | 01:29 |
| aeon-ltd | kcorcoran: it may not seem like it but the juggling between cores is more efficient 90% of the time | 01:30 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Are you on an ATI graphic card? | 01:30 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: damn. no, its nvidia. its an old acer laptop | 01:30 |
| stillbourne | anyone know where I can find a repo that has perl 5.12.2? | 01:30 |
| nemo_ | another nemo ? | 01:31 |
| sbeck_ | magicianlord, Mark Shuttleworth always said that he wanted to become Canocical making money. So it's clear that Ubuntu is going to become commercial. But if you mean that it will only become availabel for mony then I don't think so. | 01:31 |
| kcorcoran_ | aeon-ltd: can you elaborate? | 01:31 |
| nemo_ | hmm, guess I need to change nicks | 01:31 |
| itaylor57 | stillbourne: have you looked in launchpad? | 01:31 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Did you recently do anything with cairo-dock? | 01:31 |
| UnholyTerror | kcorcoran, the juggling is the different programs being run... | 01:31 |
| === nemo_ is now known as nemu | ||
| nemu | ok? | 01:32 |
| hblount | Diamondcite: i dont think so because i dont know what that is... | 01:32 |

| wizardslovak | how do i format esb drive? | 01:32 |

| === nemu is now known as genome | ||
| magicianlord | in disk utility, wizardslovak | 01:32 |
| magicianlord | unmount the drive, then format it | 01:32 |
| mark_ | hi everyone lucid lynx 64 bit here....really quite good now esp after updates | 01:32 |
| genome | <--nemo_ | 01:32 |
| wizardslovak | sorry for noob questions | 01:32 |
| magicianlord | mark_: how good | 01:32 |
| genome | everything is already registered with nickserv... | 01:33 |
| sbeck_ | greezmunkey, did you see that nemo is back ? | 01:33 |
| mark_ | its sooo good that... | 01:33 |
| === genome is now known as meh | ||
| stillbourne | itaylor57, yeah only has 5.10 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/perl | 01:33 |
| kcorcoran_ | thanks for the quick replies guys. i knew about j3, but didn't realize it could be added to any command...very cool | 01:33 |
| magicianlord | i found that the sound disappears at random on lucid 10.4.1 and that pressing restart only logs you out sometimes | 01:33 |
| meh | I never left | 01:33 |
| === meh is now known as nemo2 | ||
| wizardslovak | where is disk utility? | 01:33 |
| nemo2 | yay! not reg'd | 01:33 |
| greezmunkey | meh: do you have your vmware up now? | 01:33 |
| aeon-ltd | kcorcoran_: rather than maxing out one core and causing a bottleneck (and using more power at the same time), using 2 cores allows the compiler(if you're using i686 compatible cpu and software) to pass jobs in sync with the other core, and using less power per core and in total hence greater efficiency | 01:33 |
| itaylor57 | stillbourne: it is really easy to build perl yourself | 01:33 |
| mark_ | that i dont need windows anymore! | 01:33 |
| nemo2 | <--nemo_ | 01:33 |
| Diamondcite | hblount: Not sure what is causing xvideo to not work with the nvidia driver at the moment.. please try another person. | 01:34 |
| magicianlord | mark_: how you gonna run flash | 01:34 |
| nemo2 | in ps -e I had two things running | 01:34 |
| rafael_ | hola | 01:34 |
| stillbourne | itaylor57, if I wanted to build it myself I'd go back to using gentoo. | 01:34 |
| itaylor57 | stillbourne: use CPAN | 01:34 |
| greezmunkey | nemo2: what were they?? hmm? | 01:34 |
| mark_ | ? flash square plugi works fine | 01:34 |
| stillbourne | cpan update? | 01:34 |
| nemo2 | vmmemctl, and vmtoolsd | 01:35 |
| schultza | I'm trying to connect a Windows Seven Home Premium computer to a Linux computer via SMB services... (file/printer sharing) I'm not seeing either way. | 01:35 |
| kcorcoran_ | that makes sense....i kind of wondered about that...allowing the CPU's to handle the thoroughput most efficiently for the call at that moment...i am curious about that...might have to run some tests | 01:35 |
| housam | how can i make nimbuzz work in ubuntu | 01:35 |
| greezmunkey | nemo2: If you look in your vmware window, there is file, then Virtual Machine. Select Virtual Machine, and select reinstall vmware tools - it should be there, and will clear you issue up, most likely. | 01:36 |
| nemo2 | greezmunkey: I did that | 01:37 |
| sam-_- | schultza, try ping | 01:37 |
| schultza | hang on... | 01:37 |
| highclasshole | magicianlord: yeah ubuntu is going commercial | 01:37 |
| highclasshole | lulz | 01:37 |
| magicianlord | oh highclasshole. what do you think of that? | 01:38 |
| dork | nemo2: just do a ps aux | grep vm | 01:38 |
| dork | as root | 01:38 |
| sam-_- | schultza, you may need to change a setting in the windows firewall | 01:38 |

| dork | D3luSi0n4L: you have a thumb drive laying around? | 01:53 |
| zookalicious | @JoeSomebody you need to move the theme over to the appropriate folder or run the installation script (if it has one) | 01:53 |
| D3luSi0n4L | I dont | 01:53 |
| D3luSi0n4L | so heres what I'm doing | 01:54 |
| D3luSi0n4L | when I use the disc it comes up on my windows when i put it in my system | 01:54 |
| JoeSomebody | i saw the theme and colors , so how is it not installed? confusing to newbies | 01:54 |
| D3luSi0n4L | and gives me 3 options | 01:54 |
| dork | JoeSomebody: how are you installing themes though? | 01:54 |
| D3luSi0n4L | Install Alongside Another OS, Install Inside Windows, Having trouble booting from disc | 01:54 |
| JoeSomebody | it was opened with theme installer i think ? | 01:54 |
| dork | JoeSomebody: i've seen that behavior with gnome-art the theme manager | 01:54 |
| JoeSomebody | from firefox | 01:55 |
| dork | hrm | 01:55 |
| * ThatBum is back (gone 00:52:21) | 01:55 | |
| zookalicious | @JoeSomebody just run us through the exact steps you took when you were 'installing' it | 01:55 |
| D3luSi0n4L | so I choose the last one and it installs something for me on my system | 01:55 |
| dork | D3luSi0n4L: you have a free partition on that box that you can install on? | 01:55 |
| JoeSomebody | how do i fix it and redo them right? | 01:55 |
| zookalicious | You clicked download, and then? | 01:55 |
| Pici | !away > ThatBum | 01:55 |
| ubottu | ThatBum, please see my private message | 01:55 |
| D3luSi0n4L | yes I have made a 50gb ext4 partition & a 5gb swap | 01:55 |
| dork | D3luSi0n4L: how big is your cd dude? since when is a standard install not able to fit on a cdr | 01:55 |
| nemo2 | some other errors reported on install, but the logfile it says it made, isn't there or I can't find it | 01:55 |
| D3luSi0n4L | the iso is like almost 800mb? | 01:55 |
| rww | no it isn't | 01:56 |
| zookalicious | @D It's less than that, about 750MB | 01:56 |
| dork | JoeSomebody: install anothe theme, check the list, if it's the same problem isaw with gnome-art it will add the last installed theme every new instance | 01:56 |
| D3luSi0n4L | the cdr i have 747mb? | 01:56 |
| zookalicious | @D standard cdr size is 800MB | 01:56 |
| rww | 10.10's ISO images are all under 700MB | 01:56 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ooh ya | 01:56 |
| sbeck_ | zookalicious, 800 MB ? It's 700 MB | 01:56 |
| D3luSi0n4L | ok ill try it | 01:56 |
| D3luSi0n4L | nvm | 01:56 |
| zookalicious | For a CD-R? | 01:57 |
| dork | D3luSi0n4L: it's been a while since i used a standard install iso but i'm pretty sure you can still get the full distro in under 700mb | 01:57 |
| D3luSi0n4L | haha ill brb in a little | 01:57 |
| sbeck_ | zookalicious, yes. | 01:57 |

| dork | kostmo: of course | 01:57 |
| zookalicious | thanks sbeck | 01:57 |
| kostmo | dork, I'm failing miserably | 01:57 |
| sbeck_ | zookalicious, there are cd-r's with 800 MB but they are seldom. | 01:57 |
| Pici | ThatBum: thanks :) | 01:58 |
| dork | kostmo: using the right kernel? | 01:58 |
| aszpain2 | how do u get the .pc files from a package? | 01:58 |
| Sabri | How can I run a terminal command automatically every time I log in? | 01:58 |
| zookalicious | sbeck_: Mhm, I thought mine were 800 for some weird reason. It's not like I don't use them more or less every day >_o | 01:58 |
| dork | kostmo: you can't use a standard install kernel for paravirt is has to be modified accordingly | 01:58 |
| nemo2 | I had previously ran ubuntu 9.10 on parallels without any issues, but not having the same smooth experience on vmware with edubuntu 10.04 unfortunately | 01:59 |
| dork | but i'm pretty sure ubuntu provides that | 01:59 |
| dork | unfortunately i never build ubuntu vps' only centos | 01:59 |
| sbeck_ | zookalicious, no problem with it. I didn't want to offend you. | 01:59 |
| zer010 | Sabri: Look at Startup Applications | 01:59 |
| dork | but i know for a fact that ubuntu is support for xen domu's | 01:59 |
| dork | s/support/supportive | 01:59 |
| Sabri | nemo2: Ubuntu 10.10 runs fine on Parallels for me. | 01:59 |
| hblount | hi. a have lubuntu 10.10. i have problem with video not showing, only audio works. this just started happening, after i tried to "repair" an incomplete file with VLC. now nothing wokrs and all videos only have audio and a black screen. i tried reboot,check diff video files,and use other players. same problem. can anyone help?streaming vids from websites like youtube still works | 02:00 |
| kostmo | dork, how might I go about doing that if I want a paravirtualized Ubuntu 10.10 server edition, say? | 02:00 |
| nemo2 | yeah, parallels is pretty nice, but I had heard vmware was supposedly the best...not seeing it yet | 02:00 |
| dork | kostmo: what kind of dom0? | 02:01 |
| kostmo | RHEL5 | 02:01 |
| aszpain2 | where can I find the .pc files of a package? | 02:01 |
| crimsun | aszpain2: in the relevant -dev packages | 02:02 |
| cxo | /usr/lib/pkgconfig | 02:03 |
| aszpain2 | but I already installed them.. and I cant find nothing under the pkconfig diir | 02:03 |
| dork | kostmo: if it's anything like installing a rhel/centos based domu you need the appropriate initrd and xen kernel | 02:03 |
| aszpain2 | for example gstreamer-dev | 02:03 |
| dork | kostmo: which it probably is | 02:03 |
| crimsun | aszpain2: in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ ? | 02:03 |
| aszpain2 | no.. well I am usingOPKG | 02:04 |
| kostmo | dork, one thing I tried is "exploding" the filesystem of the ISO onto an FTP server for a network install. It failed when it couldn't find "/images/xen/vmlinuz" | 02:04 |
| aszpain2 | OPKG | 02:04 |
| crimsun | aszpain2: err, that's slightly different. On a Debian or Ubuntu system, you could check: dpkg -L libgstreamer0.10-dev |grep \.pc |wc -l | 02:04 |
| kostmo | dork, I am using the Virtual Machine Manager graphical tool, which has a wizard for creating a new VM | 02:04 |
| zetter | yes, thank you | 02:05 |
| kostmo | dork, virt-manager is the application | 02:05 |
| crimsun | aszpain2: (that assumes that you have the libgstreamer0.10-dev binary package installed locally. If you don't, use apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com) | 02:05 |
| aszpain2 | does opkg generate .pc files? | 02:05 |
| dork | kostmo: yah i'm familiar with it, but you have to have a xen fitted initrd and kernel for it | 02:05 |
| need | is there a way to remotely control a ubuntu desktop from a windows pc over lan | 02:05 |
| dork | can't just use whatever comes with a standard install iso | 02:05 |
| dork | kostmo: so basically you have to provide those componants in /images/xen/* | 02:06 |
| itaylor57 | need: you could always use ssh | 02:06 |

| hblount | ut other video players still show black screen and audio only. can anyone help? | 02:09 |
| need | dork: real vnc is what i have used in the past | 02:09 |

| dork | hblount: does it do it on totem/ | 02:46 |
| hblount | dork: sorry im noob, whats totem? | 02:46 |
| dork | the default player with ubuntu | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hblount, its a video player | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hblount, or music | 02:47 |
| hblount | i tried movieplayer, gnome mplayer | 02:47 |
| gogeta1 | hblount: heck maybe its just stuc in xv. try checking the prosses or even restarting to see if it fixes itsself | 02:47 |
| coz_ | hblount, movie player is totem | 02:48 |
| cabbie_ | dork: i am running terminal and attempting to send ADB (android debug bridge) to my nookcolor so I can establish a permaroot and android market access. My big hangups are twofold: rebooting doesnt seem to let me get back to Ubuntu, and I need java to execute some terminal commands but cant figure out how to install it | 02:48 |
| hblount | videos work with vlc now since i changed to "x11" but the other players dont work | 02:48 |
| hblount | i restarted and nothing changed | 02:48 |
| coz_ | hblount, stick with vlc | 02:49 |
| dork | cabbie_: yeah but assuming you're working with competent hardware or a bugged bios that shouldn't be happening unless you're doing something to screw the MBR | 02:49 |
| katatonia | bullshit xd | 02:49 |
| coffeerage | anyone available who knows a decent bit about networking? | 02:50 |
| dork | coffeerage: ask your question | 02:50 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: what's the problem? | 02:50 |
| katatonia | coffeer i dnt knw | 02:50 |
| cabbie_ | I really only need this to work once to get the result I desire so I guess getting ubuntu to reboot reliably is not a high concern, ill probably end up installing it permanently on my netbook. What I really need to know is how to get Java working with ubuntu10.10 | 02:50 |
| techbreak | how to download bzr source ? anybody here ? | 02:51 |
| sacarlson | cabbie_: so you want to install or have tried to install ubuntu with usb flash or drive to hard disk and without the usb disk it won't boot? | 02:51 |
| Gnea | !info bzr | 02:51 |
| ubottu | bzr (source: bzr): easy to use distributed version control system. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 2913 kB, installed size 15324 kB | 02:51 |
| dork | cabbie_: to get it working sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:51 |
| Gnea | techbreak: sudo apt-get source bzr | 02:51 |
| sbeck | Is there a command which shows me which program uses a file ? | 02:51 |
| dork | sbeck: lsof | 02:51 |
| sam-_- | !ask | coffeerage | 02:51 |
| ubottu | coffeerage: 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. :-) | 02:51 |
| haiyang | Hi | 02:51 |
| sbeck | I thought, it didn't | 02:51 |
| dork | sbeck: read the manual for lsof or assume the file isn't being used? | 02:52 |
| Gnea | sbeck: it shows more than that, but yes it shows it | 02:52 |
| Gnea | sbeck: best used with sudo | 02:52 |
| sacarlson | cabbie_: as far as java I would just install the restricted package that installs java, flash and everything all machines should have | 02:52 |
| sacarlson | cabbie_: if you want to develop java then maybe you need another package | 02:52 |
| techbreak | Gnea, I want to download bzr source code for grub from this trunk http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub how to do that ? | 02:53 |
| sbeck | Hm. | 02:53 |
| sbeck | Weird. | 02:53 |
| sherorox | hello??? | 02:54 |
| sherorox | can any1 read this? | 02:54 |
| sherorox | i have no idea how to use this | 02:54 |
| sbeck | For one file it shows it, for another one it doesn't. But I know it's the same program as I opened the two files in okular. | 02:54 |
| dork | sherorox: nope | 02:54 |
| ponbiki | lol | 02:54 |
| sherorox | yoyo | 02:54 |
| sherorox | yo | 02:54 |
| sherorox | i need help with dual boot | 02:55 |
| dork | sherorox: what's the problem, flavor flave | 02:55 |
| xangua | sherorox: any ubuntu related question¿ | 02:55 |
| jrib | sherorox: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 02:55 |
| GodKiller | sherorox: ye | 02:55 |
| dork | sherorox: what's the problem | 02:55 |
| sherorox | k wait | 02:55 |
| dork | nope | 02:55 |
| dork | 5 seconds | 02:55 |
| ugliefrog | is there a easy macro recorder for ubuntu...automate commands and such | 02:55 |
| coffeerage | ok, this isn't exactly ubuntu related but not sure where else to ask. I have 1 box with xubuntu though. what I wanted was to connect xubuntu box directly to modem traffic via a switch, then use rest of computers in house to router which is also connected to switch. trouble is only router gets connection, xubuntu box direct to switch doesn't get a connection | 02:56 |
| dork | ugliefrog: for writing scripts? | 02:56 |
| jschall | I have a samsung nf310 with a broadcom bcm4313 wifi chip, it works great on my unsecured network at home, but when i take it to work and connect it to the wpa network there, it goes really really really slow (10KB/s down, maybe? can barely browse the web) and seems unreliable, as well. if I plug it into an ethernet cable it works normally (3MB/s down). running kubuntu 10.10 amd64. | 02:56 |
| ugliefrog | dork, that will work | 02:56 |
| dork | coffeerage: dhcp? | 02:56 |
| Gnea | techbreak: haven't used it, but I'd start here: http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/mini-tutorial/index.html | 02:56 |
| sbeck | dork ? | 02:57 |
| trism | techbreak: bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub | 02:57 |
| dork | coffeerage: your modem/wireless SM will have to a. allow more than one dhcp lease if you're pulling IPs from your provider or you'll need 2 usable IP addresses for each interface | 02:57 |
| sbeck | dork, for one file lsof shows it, for another one it doesn't. But I know it's the same program as I opened the two files in okular. | 02:57 |
| dork | or your provider must not care where their dhcp ips go to as it could be limited in their router | 02:57 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: the way to do that is to plug the switch into the router | 02:57 |
| dork | chances are his router has a switch | 02:57 |
| techbreak | trism, is that the command i need to hit in terminal ? | 02:57 |
| dork | but he doesn't know how to nat | 02:58 |
| Gnea | well he didn't say that | 02:58 |
| dork | he didn't have to | 02:58 |
| coffeerage | dork & gnea: yea i know that could work and my router has a switch but i want to see traffic directly from modem to play with snort, i don't want to see local behind-router traffic only | 02:58 |
| sherorox | I downloaded ubuntu iso and used universal to put it on FAT32 USB. It doesn't however show autorun.exe when plugged into the computer. Weird? I went into the BIOS to change boot order for USB first but it wont give me the option to boot. I'm currently using win7 pro 32bit trying to dual boot lin | 02:58 |
| trism | techbreak: yes | 02:58 |
| techbreak | trism, :) thanks.. its downloading :) | 02:58 |
| techbreak | Gnea, thanks for the link. is helpful :) | 02:58 |
| coffeerage | i'm a bored computer tech interested in network security, wanted to play around with an IDS | 02:59 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: ah, you'll need 2 nics in the xubuntu system, plug one to the router, the other to the switch, then set it up to do forwarding, dns, etc | 02:59 |
| dork | coffeerage: either way you need to have access to two real ip's for that | 02:59 |
| dork | weather you can pull multiple dhcp addresses or you have two statics | 02:59 |
| Gnea | !ics | coffeerage | 02:59 |
| ubottu | coffeerage: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 02:59 |
| sdwrage | Hey all | 03:00 |
| sherorox | can u guys help me out next | 03:00 |
| Gnea | sherorox: just ask your question | 03:00 |
| sdwrage | Anyone know a decent alternative to FlashDevelop for Ubuntu? | 03:00 |
| sherorox | I downloaded ubuntu iso and used universal to put it on FAT32 USB. It doesn't however show autorun.exe when plugged into the computer. Weird? I went into the BIOS to change boot order for USB first but it wont give me the option to boot. I'm currently using win7 pro 32bit trying to dual boot lin | 03:00 |
| xangua | sherorox: no idea what universal is or why would it had to run an exe, i use Unetbootin to make a bootable usb | 03:01 |
| coffeerage | that sucks. thanks dork / gnea. | 03:01 |
| dork | just practice wireless injection | 03:01 |
| sherorox | its the same thing | 03:01 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: it's not easy the first time around, but once you get it working you'll enjoy it immensely | 03:01 |
| sherorox | it was just on the website | 03:01 |
| skullboy | ok so how do i get the caine repos to work in ubuntu | 03:02 |
| coffeerage | so gnea, if i have two NICs do i still need two IPs as dork said? | 03:02 |
| soapcontainer | Dear #ubuntu, thanks so much for all your help. :) | 03:02 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: well another option would be to run ubuntu under virtualbox that runs in win7, too bad your bios won't support boot | 03:02 |
| cabbie_ | sacarlson: my issue is that if im in ubuntu and reboot i cant stop it from going into windows. | 03:02 |
| cabbie_ | dork: i will try that | 03:02 |
| soapcontainer | finally my comp is all runnin perfect | 03:02 |
| techbreak | coffeerage, see this one http://www.muktware.com/a/54/379/13/2010/589 | 03:02 |
| skullboy | ok so how do i get the caine repos to work in ubuntu | 03:02 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: yeah, you get one from the isp through the router, then you setup a private ip for the lan end of things | 03:02 |
| dork | he won't see multicast traffic that way | 03:03 |
| xangua | skullboy: caine repos¿ | 03:03 |
| skullboy | yea | 03:03 |
| sherorox | sacarlson:I have the same problem as Cabbie | 03:03 |
| sacarlson | cabbie_: is that with the usb pluged in? you can change the order of boot in your bios setting if that the case, | 03:03 |
| coffeerage | gnea: oh but that's not a problem then through isp, I see | 03:03 |
| skullboy | Computer Aided INvestigative Environment | 03:03 |
| coffeerage | gnea: thanks, i'll pick up an extra NIC from work and try to get it going... thanks! and thanks again dork | 03:04 |
| iszak | How do I show real-time (possibly with watch) connections to the server? | 03:04 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: exactly, that portion is pretty much automatic, it's getting the rest setup manually that can be a challenge | 03:04 |
| dork | coffeerage: your router's wan interface is going to filter the traffic you're looking for though | 03:04 |
| Gnea | coffeerage: cheers, good luck | 03:04 |
| skullboy | ????? | 03:04 |
| sacarlson | cabbie_: if you installed it with grub onto your hard disk with grub2 on your first boot disk normaly /dev/sda then you can set grub to boot ubuntu first by default | 03:04 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: does virtual box create a virtual drive to install iso? even if I did that wouldnt that replace Windows and defeat the purpose of dual boot | 03:04 |
| dork | coffeerage: just turn your ubuntu box into a router | 03:05 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: yes | 03:05 |
| sherorox | :l | 03:05 |
| coffeerage | dork: ugh really? that makes sense though - what sort of traffic would the other NIC to the switch even be getting? | 03:05 |
| coffeerage | dork: I'll look that up, didn't know I could do that | 03:05 |
| dork | of course man | 03:05 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: theres no other way to dual boot without actually booting from ISO | 03:05 |
| cabbie_ | sacarlson: yes its with it plugged in, and i re-ordered the bios settings to go from the jumpdrive first. its probably some weird thing unique to my asus netbook because it seems like its not sticking | 03:06 |
| coffeerage | dork: is there a way to use it as a wireless router? fiancee has laptop | 03:06 |
| dork | you have a wireless access point already right? | 03:06 |
| coffeerage | yea | 03:06 |
| dork | like a router w/ a switch and wifi? | 03:06 |
| coffeerage | disable its dhcp and use that? | 03:06 |
| coffeerage | yeah | 03:06 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: esc in auses brings up the boot menu you cn use to start the usb drive | 03:06 |
| dork | use that as your wireless bridge and switch | 03:07 |
| coffeerage | sweet | 03:07 |
| dork | so you get two nics in the xubuntu box, install a dhcp client and pull dhcp from one nic, set up a dhcp server on the other net and patch the router into the second nic and disable it's dhcp server in the router | 03:07 |
| dork | turn it into a bridge | 03:07 |
| dork | so you're essentially turning your xubuntu box into a router and your linksys or whatever is going to be turned into a switch with an access point | 03:08 |
| dork | just remember to turn off the dhcp server on the router you currently have | 03:08 |
| coffeerage | k, the only part of that i'm not sure about is bridging the wireless - point me in the right direction? or does it become apparent once i start turning the box into a router? | 03:09 |
| dork | it'll take some manual reading and some time but it's the right way to do that | 03:09 |
| coffeerage | yeah that sounds like a better solution and more of a challenge/learning experience | 03:09 |
| sam-_- | can somebody not from germany try to play this and report back if it works: mplayer rtmp://vod.daserste.de/ardfs/mp4:videoportal/mediathek/Sturm+der+Liebe/c_150000/158943/format171959.f4v | 03:09 |
| sacarlson | cabbie_: well if it just has to be I guess you will have to install to /dev/sda then or at least put an mbr on there that tells it to boot from your usb disk | 03:09 |
| sam-_- | or: vlc rtmp://vod.daserste.de/ardfs/mp4:videoportal/mediathek/Sturm+der+Liebe/c_150000/158943/format171959.f4v | 03:10 |
| dork | coffeerage: log into the router's web interface, disable the dhcp server, set the lan network settings so that it's using an off static local ip and gateway set to the linux box. but really you should google for a quick manual | 03:10 |
| dork | yeah it's a nice way to get thrown into routing | 03:10 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: you press exc on auses labbys you get a boot menu then slect the usb stick | 03:10 |
| gogeta1 | esc | 03:10 |
| coffeerage | dork: right that makes sense. I'll make sure to read manuals as well, thanks! | 03:10 |
| dork | np | 03:10 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: still there? | 03:11 |
| sacarlson | gogeta1: that would be if you had grub2 installed as your first seen mbr, it cabbie_'s case his first disk is windows so it never see's grub at first default boot | 03:11 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: esc at boot when you see the auses splash screen | 03:12 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: what is the program you used to create the usb | 03:12 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: i wasent talking abought grub | 03:12 |
| dork | actually my last two asus' required you to go into the bios, quit, then hit escape a few times to get to the boot menu | 03:12 |
| sacarlson | gogeta1: oh you mean to change bios settings? he said he did that and it won't stick, did he failt to push the final botton that said save? | 03:12 |
| dork | it was retarded | 03:13 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: pressing esc at boot brings up a drive menu and you can slect the disk you wanna start | 03:13 |
| sacarlson | gogeta1: again I asume that's bios, so no way to have it default? | 03:13 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: dunno but he can see if it the boot order or the stick itsself not starting | 03:14 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: I unplocked my HDD and only plugged in my USB and the BIOS recognized it | 03:15 |
| Sabri | Is /etc/profile executed at every Gnome login? | 03:15 |
| sacarlson | gogeta1: his stick starts with the method as you say with the esc an choose to boot usb but he wants it to default at reboot | 03:15 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: ah very good | 03:15 |
| kcorcoran_ | i have several tgz file i need unzipped to a specific directory. can someone assist me with creating a script to automatically do this? | 03:16 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: i notec a delay with usb powering up if hes running on battery power | 03:16 |
| dork | tar zxvf /.tgz | 03:16 |
| dork | or something | 03:16 |
| === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc | ||
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: drive might not be starting fast enough | 03:16 |
| dork | or maybe that's only for zips | 03:17 |
| sacarlson | gogeta1: that could be it | 03:17 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: then why wont it boot? im assuming it has something to do with the USB appearing with autorun.exe when plugged in. Another question: does it make a difference if FAT or FAT32 USB is used? | 03:17 |
| kcorcoran_ | that will unzip a tgz...but i don't want to manually enter that for all these files....how could i script that? | 03:17 |
| gogeta1 | sacarlson: at least with my netbook | 03:17 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: I asume you installed to your usb to boot from grub, it won't need the exe file for that, autorun.exe is used for wubi I guess | 03:18 |
| dork | kcorcoran: or i in *.tgz; do tar xzvf $i; done | 03:20 |
| dork | oops | 03:20 |
| dork | kcorcoran: for i in *.tgz; do tar xzvf $i; done | 03:20 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: no I meant that when windows recognizes my USB with an apparent USB made install of ubuntu, Im able to view all the files when I click on it in contradiction to automatically installing. Which I think brings up the point of having the virtual drive to install | 03:20 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: there are install programs that I have been told do work to install onto usb flash to enable boot like for example http://old.linuxliveusb.com/ | 03:20 |
| cabbie_ | gogeta1: yes that does work after i write the ISO to the drive but not after it boots and i reboot it | 03:20 |
| Alan502 | Can somebody give me some help with multiple letter-key shortcuts? | 03:21 |
| cabbie_ | random Q: is there a command to disable entry/exit notifications if connected through webchat.freenode.net ? | 03:21 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: is it saying partation not found | 03:21 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: mine does not on me ee for some reasion if grub is on the usb drive | 03:21 |
| gogeta1 | my | 03:21 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: on no if you want the virtualbox method then you need to install that first then install ubuntu inside that application | 03:21 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: im assuming grub bug | 03:22 |
| cabbie_ | gogeta1: what is "grub" ? | 03:22 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: the boot loader for linux | 03:22 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: see virtualbox for details http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 03:22 |
| sherorox | is it like magicISO? | 03:22 |
| crawler | Alan502: is that even possible, i don't know...probably not | 03:23 |
| dork | smells of troll | 03:23 |
| skullboy | ok so how do i get the CAINE repos to work with ubuntu | 03:23 |
| Alan502 | crawler, why not? | 03:23 |
| xangua | skullboy: and what exactly is caine¿¿ | 03:23 |
| kcorcoran_ | dork: how do i define the path? | 03:23 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: if im reading the question right the iso loads and installs then linux refusees to boot | 03:24 |
| crawler | Alan502: i don't know..what exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 03:24 |
| kcorcoran_ | the path that i want the files to extract to | 03:24 |
| skullboy | it is a Computer Aided INvestigative Environment | 03:24 |
| dork | kcorcoran_: just go to the directory | 03:24 |
| Alan502 | crawler, well, basically, i'm trying to use hotkeys to get full functionality from my sidewinder strategic commander pro | 03:24 |
| skullboy | dose that help | 03:25 |
| Alan502 | crawler, there is no app that supports joypad combos so i remapped the buttons to the keyboard with qjoypad but i still need to do that type of hotkeys | 03:25 |
| xangua | skullboy: since you give soo much information, i google it and saw it's a linux distro | 03:25 |
| dork | kcorcoran_: it's going to extract how the tarballs were created | 03:25 |
| sacarlson | skullboy: if they are in deb apt-get format then you would modify your /etc/apt/ list files | 03:25 |
| Alan502 | crawler, long story actually :P but why couldn't multiple letter keys hotkeys be possible? | 03:26 |
| gogeta1 | cabbie_: kinda sucks being you whant grub on the usb disk | 03:26 |
| xangua | skullboy: don't think is a good idea to mix repositories from diferent distros | 03:26 |
| israfel | What's the command to reset the GUI? | 03:26 |
| skullboy | so i cant do it??? | 03:26 |
| crawler | Alan502: i can't answer that, have you tried using Joy2Key or the like? | 03:26 |
| Vonius | hola: algun hispanohablante? | 03:27 |
| sacarlson | skullboy: xangua: true, I also asume that the software they distribute is writen or is close to being ubuntu compatible | 03:27 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: should I format the key in FAT32? in the software you just gave me? | 03:27 |
| Alan502 | crawler, yes yes, i've tried all the apps in the repositories | 03:27 |
| Alan502 | crawler, and many other apps mentioned in the forums... but none of them allows me keycombos | 03:28 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: if you mean virtualbox you don't need a usb flash disk you would install it direct from the iso file after the virtualbox is installed | 03:28 |
| Alan502 | crawler, like, button1+button2 would send a different keystroke than button 1 or button2 alone... | 03:28 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: no I mean LINUX LIVE USB CREATOR | 03:29 |
| kcorcoran_ | dork: thank you!! | 03:29 |
| Alan502 | crawler, actually, do you have experience with joy2key? | 03:29 |
| crawler | Alan502: that's too bad, i seem to remember xpadder able to do this, but that's a win app so no help there | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | sherorox: it should do all the formating for you in that case, just follow it's defaults | 03:29 |
| Alan502 | crawler, ok :P but maybe it runs in wine? | 03:29 |
| crawler | Alan502: i have used it once, but don't need it anymore | 03:29 |
| Alan502 | crawler, i'll see | 03:29 |
| kcorcoran_ | how can i browse to the cd drive in session window? | 03:29 |
| Alan502 | crawler, i couldn't use joy2key because it's not very well documented | 03:30 |
| Alan502 | crawler, the man page isn't very useful but perhaps it allows button combos? | 03:30 |
| crawler | Alan502: good luck, i tested it a while back and it didn't recognize my controller (logitech el cheapo) | 03:30 |
| sherorox | sacarlson: ok and also it says: "click the lightning icon to start the installation" THe installation of ubuntu or just from ISO to USB? If it is an install of Ubuntu, is it going to replace windows? | 03:30 |
| RegressLess | Using Virtualbox OSE to host for Windows 7. I can't get the Guest Additions to mount and the vbox channel is not helping. Any ideas? | 03:30 |
| wujie | 请问KDE桌面如何上网 | 03:31 |

| crawler | Alan502: there's a free version on softpedia | 03:40 |
| Alan502 | crawler, really? let me check | 03:40 |
| Sifo | Unetbootin is for linux and win | 03:40 |

| ubottu | dextro_: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 04:11 |

| D3luSi0n4L | thats how it is on windows | 04:11 |
| rww | dextro_: add the 'partner' repository and then install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin | 04:11 |
| rww | !partner | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 04:11 |

| RogueShadow | shcherbak, znc is an irc bouncer, that's easy to use and featureful. Run it on a machine that stays up all the time, and connect to it from any irc client, even more than one.

| b3rz3rk3r | shcherbak, i can do it from the archive manager too, but since archive manager handles all other archive types just like my question, I want to add the ease of extract here to that too | 04:35 |

| headmoo | Can anyone help me with a partitioning problem. I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu but Ubuntu doesn't recognize the new partition I create. Starting on a Windows 7 with C: 280GD and D: 16GB, I create a RAW 50GB by shrinking the C:. so now I have C: 230GB, RAW 50GB, D:16GB. But when I boot into ubuntu, it sees /sda1 230GB and then /sda2 66GB. It seems to be assimilating the Raw partition to | 05:05 |
| headmoo | the next partition. What is going wrong? | 05:05 |
| red2kic | karma_police: If you don't have powered USB hub, that could be the issue. :\ | 05:05 |
| rww | joe847: Haven't had a big one like that in a while. | 05:06 |
| datz | joe847: my guess would be some attack is causing them | 05:06 |
| red2kic | joe847: Occasional event. Like Twilight or Full Moon or Eclipse. | 05:06 |
| greezmunkey | joe847: they usually only happen when the NSA is bridging onto a main Internet trunk line, or disconnecting from one. | 05:06 |
| joe847 | Ah, ok that explains it, thanks! | 05:06 |

| israfel | Ok, I have a Netgear wireless N (WN311B) that I need to get working on Ubuntu... There's Broadcom drivers for it, but they don't work. | 05:12 |

| Gnea | israfel: read that site, there's a list there of supported devices, it might be a bit incomplete | 05:15 |
| israfel | In order to use ndiswrapper, you need a windows machine to install the drivers on. | 05:15 |
| wolfrage | is there a better channel to get application development support than #ubuntu-app-devel? No one ever talks in that room, and so they are pretty useless, they do not answer any questions, ever. | 05:15 |

| dnivra | system restarts after i suspend/hibernate it. the suspend happens correctly i guess-the light turns red and blinks-that's the usual behaviour when the system is suspended. what could possibly be wrong? | 05:28 |
| israfel | icecream, I'm not sure about the specifics, but it may be reconnecting every time you modify a file. | 05:28 |
| israfel | icecream, Can you see if the connection stays open once a file had been modified? | 05:29 |
| red2kic | boxee: You're using SVideo. That itself may be the reason -- From what I know, it looks impossible. It's like trying to force a resolution change using composite cable (yellow plug). | 05:29 |

| shcherbak | dnivra: there is several fixes, but always compatibile | 05:39 |
| dnivra | shcherbak, i can't find any that match mine-everyone seems to have problems suspending/hibernating and that's usually due to peripherals plugged in like SD cards, USB sticks etc. mine suspends/hibernates properly but restarts instead of resume. | 05:40 |

| dnivra | red2kic, well i don't remember doing suspend in 10.04. Just that i got 5GB swap none of which is being used ever so wondering if something is wrong. suspend/hibernate doesn't work either. it's okay 11.04 is going to be a clean install for sure. | 05:48 |

| dnivra | rickmasta, but i would say avoid the new intel core series of processors-the i3, i5 and i7. few friends of mine had to reinstall their system all over again after installing ubuntu in them(and were behind me for messing their system up :) ). | 05:55 |
| Gnea | Israfel_: the entire process is documented on the wifi site, just follow it and you'll be fine | 05:55 |

| Jordan_U | magn3ts: Are you sure it's not a hardware problem? | 06:07 |
| magn3ts | Jordan_U, man, idk, I'm considering that now... I can't imagine so. It's a desktop, I use the CD drive a few times a year and since I've owned this for 6 months... I mean, I can count on two hands the number of times I've used it. I know that doesn't really change the fact that it *could* be a hardware issue... but... I'll probably try it next time I'm in Windows, but that's pretty rare nowadays. | 06:08 |

| red2kic | S_A: Atom processor? Avoid metapackages. Install things as you go. Install minimal and keep it minimal. | 06:43 |
| rww | Atoms are slow. Ubuntu 10.10 wasn't noticeably more slow than normal on my Atom. | 06:44 |

| learningC | ? | 06:44 |
| mark_ | yes atoms are slow try lightweight desktop like fluxbox and fiemanager like xfe | 06:44 |
| bonjoyee | whats up #ubuntu!! | 06:44 |
| maco | learningC: if it's executable, either giving it a direct path (so either relative or explicit, but not just its name unless the path to it is defined in $PATH), yes | 06:44 |
| ryansmith | I have two video cards lying around for my Ubuntu media center: a ATI 9600 Pro and an Nvidia FX 5200. Which one should I use? | 06:45 |

| RogueShadow | lynx is efficient... | 06:45 |
| bonjoyee | ryansmith: one that works best..i would start with NV | 06:46 |
| learningC | maco: if I put an executable file in desktop and I'm in desktop directory, if I just put the file name, would it work? | 06:46 |

| ryansmith | bonjoyee: I'm just looking for the best performance | 06:47 |
| mark_ | sure it woul if it is executable | 06:47 |
| DasEi | ryansmith: for a mediacenter consider buying a used cheap; what will you do with it ? | 06:47 |
| ryansmith | DasEi: just SD video output | 06:47 |
| ryansmith | DasEi: XBMC | 06:47 |
| maco | bonjoyee: tell learningC not me :P | 06:47 |
| noonian | learningC, you would have to do ./<thename> | 06:47 |
| noonian | learningC, the . means the current directory | 06:47 |
| maco | learningC: no, like i just said it has to be either a relative or explicit path | 06:47 |
| bonjoyee | maco: sorry..wrong number!! | 06:48 |
| maco | learningC: unless the directory is in the $PATH variable, which ~/Desktop is not | 06:48 |
| DasEi | ryansmith: use nvidia, as their propitary drivers run with current x, not so I knew of the old ati's | 06:48 |
| ryansmith | DasEi: I'd like to swap out the card in the future for HD, but I'm not sure if my computer could handle it | 06:48 |
| arvind_khadri | learningC, or you must edit your $PATH to contain that path of executable | 06:48 |
| learningC | so, it's different from windows, right? | 06:48 |
| maco | learningC: type "echo $PATH" real quick | 06:49 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: Meh. Not really. Seems like you're able to ssh but receive wrong password. Could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server" -- Otherwise, I don't know what else to say. | 06:49 |
| learningC | why mark_ said it would work? | 06:49 |
| maco | learningC: windows *also* uses a $PATH | 06:49 |
| chalcedony | red2kic, ill try that, thanks :) | 06:49 |
| mark_ | ./filename from a terminal will launch an executable file | 06:49 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: Try creating a new password "passwd chull" on the machine you're trying to ssh in -- and use the new password. See if that works. | 06:49 |
| maco | learningC: if it is in any of the directories that are listed when you type "echo $PATH" then just typing the name works | 06:49 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: Or was it craig. | 06:50 |
| bonjoyee | learningC: yes...that the reason files in "Programs Files" dont run by defalut from terminal | 06:50 |
| DasEi | ryansmith: agp can handle hdtv | 06:50 |
| maco | learningC: otherwise you do what mark_ is saying and give the path... that is, since it's in ~/Desktop and so are you, either: ./afile OR ~/Desktop/afile OR /home/you/Desktop/afile | 06:50 |
| noonian | learningC, and if its in your path then it doesnt matter which directory you are in when you type the name | 06:50 |
| chalcedony | red2kic, craig's box .. i'll go there and try those | 06:50 |
| mark_ | best way to learn unix/linux is to try it and see learning | 06:51 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: Do "passwd craig" -- Generate a new password for sudo. See if you can ssh in with new password. | 06:51 |
| bonjoyee | learningC: one more way is creat /homr/username/bin and out the exec files there | 06:51 |
| bonjoyee | out>put | 06:51 |
| mark_ | to make a file executable u may need to do chmod o+x file first | 06:52 |
| ryansmith | DasEi: any recommendations on an AGP card? I'd like to output at least 720p over HDMI, but I'd rather have 1080p output if possible | 06:52 |
| shingen | how can I list a directory with full paths and special escape characters like ls -b ? | 06:52 |
| mark_ | who here has an ubuntu t shirt? | 06:53 |
| learningC | ok, I just type the filename only and nothing happens and I am in the same directory as the file | 06:53 |
| DasEi | ryansmith: I don't know the rest of your box and this is no #hardware here, in the sky GeForce 7600 GT 512MB AGP | 06:53 |
| rww | mark_: #ubuntu-offtopic is probably a better place for that question ;) | 06:53 |
| bonjoyee | learningC: ./filename will run it | 06:53 |
| mark_ | oops :) | 06:53 |
| noonian | learningC, you need to do ./thefilename | 06:53 |
| mark_ | ls -l should tell u if the file is executable | 06:54 |
| DasEi | ryansmith: for questions as such, /j #hardware | 06:54 |
| anygivenname | does anyone know what's the command line to have logwatch generate report now ? | 06:54 |
| israfel | If a wireless card shows up in ndiswrapper just fine, but doesn't show up in iwconfig, is it a lost cause? | 06:54 |
| noonian | israfel, not sure but maybe it just isnt configured? | 06:56 |
| learningC | but in windows I think we don't really need the PATH if we are executing the file in the same directory, right? | 06:56 |
| israfel | noonian, What do you mean? iwconfig doesn't even show it... There's no way to configure something that's not there. | 06:56 |
| noonian | israfel, yeah you are probably screwed then :P i dont know what determines whats there | 06:57 |
| noonian | learningC, its the same thing in windows, just by default there is almost nothing in your path for windows. | 06:58 |
| insmod | <israfel>it means the module is not loaded check lsmod |less | 06:58 |
| crackerjackz | !find snes9x | 07:00 |

| alberto | hey guys i'm trying to syc my iphone 4 with banshee, i move the songs to the iphone and it says that is syncing but after banshee finish syncing the iphone keep showing "sync in progress" and won't change it until i close banshee or eject the iphone, then, the songs are in the right folders in the iphone with the f011...etc names but i can't see them nor in the iphone as well as through banshee. can somebody help me with this? thx | 07:00 |
| learningC | but in windows, we don't need ./ in front of the file to execute it I think, is it? | 07:01 |
| Bluefeverx | I know this sounds a little strange, but ever since I changed my password today, my monitor has stopped flickering. At first I thought the font had changed,but then I looked at it again and I noticed the "vibrating" of the screen was gone. Any thoughts on this? | 07:01 |
| noonian | hmm, let me boot up my windows vm real quick... | 07:02 |
| methylenedioxy | in Windows you wouldn't typically be executing a shell script like that but rather a batch file, no? | 07:02 |
| methylenedioxy | not that they don't share some of the same basic commands | 07:03 |
| learningC | yes, right, a batch file or an .exe file, which you can only type the filename, right? | 07:03 |
| DasEi | learningC: unless in compiler environment,either exe or bat are common | 07:03 |
| methylenedioxy | The file extension indicates it, yeah | 07:03 |
| rs0832 | learningC: thats because in windows, you cannot normally execute installed programs by just typing the name | 07:03 |
| Lcawte | Hi, can I install an ISO directly from the Ubuntu Live CD (for example if I had some other Linux Distro saved to my memory stick0 | 07:04 |
| chalcedony | red2kic, http://chalcedony.pastebin.com/6sVqjNSD | 07:04 |
| rww | learningC: Windows has the current directory in its PATH variable by default. Ubuntu doesn't. Considering that having it there is a minor security risk... | 07:04 |
| dnivra | Lcawte, if you have a memory stick then you could create a bootable memory stick using unetbootin. | 07:04 |
| DasEi | Lcawte: you could do a pxe-boot with kickstart, but rather a hassle, no second usb stick handy ? | 07:05 |
| Lcawte | DasEi: nope | 07:05 |
| noonian | learningC, you are correct at least for some windows .exe files. I was able to start Chess.exe from a cmd prompt | 07:06 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: Try "mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh-bak" -- This is ridiculous. :( | 07:06 |
| dnivra | Lcawte, here's how you can boot an iso using grub2. i've not tried it. http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ | 07:06 |
| DasEi | Lcawte: see, you need a initial medium to call the iso and give parameters to installer, so easier to setup a complete bootmedium once | 07:07 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: (On the client). | 07:07 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: (Craigs) | 07:07 |
| Lcawte | meh, I'll install Ubuntu first I guess | 07:07 |
| DasEi | Lcawte: what about saving the stick to hd and then use it for that ? usb-boot supported ? | 07:07 |
| red2kic | chalcedony: Is Craig / chull able to ssh itself in with the new password? | 07:08 |
| learningC | noonian: yes, in windows you only type the file name in the current directory and it will execute | 07:09 |
| maco | learningC: if you add . to the $PATH you can do that | 07:09 |
| noonian | learningC, you also do not have to mark a file executable to do that, but that isn't a feature. | 07:09 |
| maco | learningC: i believe it's considered a bad idea in the security department though | 07:09 |
| rww | It is. | 07:10 |
| israfel | insmod, It's loaded. | 07:10 |
| methylenedioxy | Hm, what kinds of risks does it lead to? | 07:10 |
| noonian | accidental nuclear wars | 07:11 |
| methylenedioxy | (If that's off-topic, don't worry about it :) | 07:11 |
| TeslaTony | I want to wipe my Ubuntu install for a fresh one, but would like to not wipe my Windows install. Will the graphical installer figure out the partitioning automatically? | 07:11 |
| dnivra | TeslaTony, yes. in the graphical installer choose the partition in which ubuntu currently resides and install the new ubuntu there. leave windows untouched and it won't be wiped. | 07:12 |
| noonian | TeslaTony, it should, and if it doesnt give you the option you want you can manually pick your old ubuntu partition to format and use as / | 07:12 |
| maco | methylenedioxy: i think the worry is about $bad_person executing things $admin hasn't installed/approved | 07:12 |
| hanasaki | is the openvpn package in10.10 the server? client or both? | 07:12 |
| DasEi | TeslaTony: use Win, make the current ubuntu-partis unallocated, then installer should find the free space (alternate installer, doing it manually for more fine grained) | 07:12 |
| methylenedioxy | Ahhh, okay | 07:12 |
| soapcontainer | how do i remove the google botnet from ubuntu if i have installed google chrome? | 07:12 |
| insmod | <israfel>does ifconfig see it | 07:13 |
| noonian | soapcontainer, the google botnet? | 07:13 |
| soapcontainer | Yes. | 07:13 |
| soapcontainer | I installed Google Chrome, which is a botnet, and which google has asserted openly the right to use on anyone who installs chrome | 07:13 |
| soapcontainer | so i want to remove chrome and the botnet | 07:13 |

| DasEi | TeslaTony: welcome, ask if needed | 07:15 |
| RealOpty | noonian/#ubuntu said: +hmm, let me boot up my windows vm real quick. | 07:15 |
| RealOpty | ha. | 07:15 |
| red2kic | Let me install the package RealOpty quick. :) | 07:15 |
| Neo0101 | i can flood this with bots | 07:15 |
| Neo0101 | ? | 07:15 |
| israfel | insmod, nope. Just lo | 07:15 |
| hanasaki | is there any filesystem that will automatically sync back and forth to the server when a laptop gets connected in the office? | 07:15 |
| red2kic | Neo0101: No. | 07:15 |
| Neo0101 | :) | 07:16 |
| TeslaTony | soapcontainer: Wipe google chrome, and install chromium. Chromium is the version of chrome without the google spyware and branding. | 07:16 |
| DasEi | hanasaki: can use unison in a script | 07:16 |
| red2kic | hanasaki: Dropbox? It'll sync everything automagically | 07:16 |
| noonian | or html5 support :( | 07:16 |
| red2kic | hanasaki: Free 2GB. | 07:16 |
| DasEi | !info unison | hanasaki | 07:16 |
| ubottu | hanasaki: unison (source: unison): A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.32.52-1ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 574 kB, installed size 1376 kB | 07:16 |
| soapcontainer | how do i completely remove all traces of google chrome and any malicious software or configuration changes it may have made to my system | 07:16 |
| hanasaki | red2kic: thanks.. url? | 07:16 |
| insmod | <israfel>how are you trying to run it ? ifup? | 07:16 |
| RealOpty | red2kic, apt-get install ytpolaer | 07:16 |
| methylenedioxy | I think there's a fs modules for dropbox as well | 07:17 |
| DasEi | hanasaki: both in repos | 07:17 |
| hanasaki | DasEi: I need win, lin, mac support tooo | 07:17 |
| red2kic | hanasaki: https://www.dropbox.com/ | 07:17 |
| israfel | insmod, I'm trying anything that the wifi documents says. Nothing works. | 07:17 |
| soapcontainer | TeslaTony, thanks. | 07:17 |
| hanasaki | DasEi: I used unison once.. it was ok.. but lots of .hidden files and never found out what it does about conflict resolution | 07:17 |
| noonian | soapcontainer, its doubtful it made changes to your machine. But the only way to truly be sure would be a full reinstall. You take this risk of course when you install any piece of software. | 07:17 |
| soapcontainer | yep | 07:18 |
| fiona|at | hello. can i develop microsoft excel vba when using ubuntu ? | 07:18 |
| soapcontainer | gonna have to reformat then | 07:18 |
| methylenedioxy | what do you mean by google spyware, calling home? | 07:18 |
| RealOpty | ha | 07:18 |
| israfel | insmod, Basically, I followed all the steps that all websites say to do up to the point where they say "It should work now" But it doesn't | 07:18 |
| soapcontainer | I mean that if you install google chrome, you install what is effectively a botnet apparatus | 07:18 |
| TeslaTony | soapcontainer: Use the package manager, and choose "Completely uninstall." An uninstall will wipe it, but that way you get the config files, too | 07:18 |
| insmod | <israfel>easiest way -- I never got the GUI stuff to work --- I just edited /etc/network/interfaces the ifdown the ifup | 07:18 |
| soapcontainer | which COULD be used in the same way as a traditional botnet, if google so chose | 07:18 |
| DasEi | hanasaki: .files are just hidden in *nix,ctrl-h makes them visible,conflicting is about newer files in both "ends" | 07:18 |
| soapcontainer | it has that ability | 07:18 |
| DasEi | soapcontainer: chromium-browser ? | 07:19 |
| soapcontainer | thanks TeslaTony | 07:19 |
| noonian | soapcontainer, your music player is probably just as likely to change your computer maliciously. | 07:19 |
| soapcontainer | don't have a music player on this machine noonian | 07:19 |
| soapcontainer | on this machine i can't take risks | 07:19 |
| hanasaki | DasEi: ctrl-h in bash? | 07:19 |
| soapcontainer | thought google chrome was completely ok but it wasn't | 07:19 |
| israfel | insmod, There's only 2 entries there. auto lo and iface lo inet loopback. | 07:19 |
| i8degrees | soapcontainer: yet IRC is considered safe? :] | 07:19 |
| DasEi | hanasaki: in nautilus | 07:20 |
| hanasaki | ah | 07:20 |
| insmod | <israfel>ya you card the one for the card | 07:20 |
| insmod | add | 07:20 |
| soapcontainer | yes i8degrees | 07:20 |
| hanasaki | dropbox looks commercial it sends files through the dropbox.com site? | 07:20 |
| insmod | <israfel>add the one for the card | 07:20 |
| israfel | insmod, What do I add? The name? PCI address? | 07:20 |
| methylenedioxy | yeah, dropbox is a "cloud" storage system | 07:20 |
| i8degrees | soapcontainer: *laughs* alright... | 07:21 |
| Lcawte | When I have Ubuntu installed, whats the best way to install an ISO from there? | 07:21 |
| methylenedioxy | if you just mean something like rsync that might be more appropriate | 07:21 |
| insmod | <israfel>auto (name) | 07:21 |
| hanasaki | DasEi: what about umm is id CODA? | 07:21 |
| fiona|at | can i develop microsoft excel vba under ubuntu ? | 07:21 |
| red2kic | hanasaki: Well, sure. You can access or download files on the site too. | 07:21 |
| RealOpty | ok now i remember why ive been idling in here for months.... since release 10.10 my keyboard will disable left clicking on my mouse?????? | 07:21 |
| soapcontainer | i8degrees why do you think irc is unsafe? | 07:21 |
| insmod | <israfel>then iface (name) inet (protocal) | 07:21 |
| pgpkeys | why do you think irc IS safe | 07:22 |
| hanasaki | red2kic: I prefer not ot have my files leave my LAN | 07:22 |
| hanasaki | :( | 07:22 |
| insmod | <israfel>then next line is pass | 07:22 |
| itaylor57 | fiona|at: no there is no vba on unbuntu | 07:22 |
| DasEi | hanasaki: idk, in which sight ? | 07:22 |
| i8degrees | soapcontainer: first, I'd like to know why google chrome is unsafe / a botnet :-) | 07:22 |
| itaylor57 | !basic | 07:22 |
| pgpkeys | i8degrees: that was ny next question | 07:22 |
| hanasaki | DasEi: huh? | 07:22 |
| pgpkeys | s/ny/my/ | 07:22 |
| insmod | <israfel>you can add any comand that iwconfig needs like chanel pass etc | 07:22 |
| i8degrees | pgpkeys: heheheh | 07:22 |
| Neo0101 | operation payback? | 07:22 |
| methylenedioxy | that is a voluntary botnet | 07:23 |
| i8degrees | is silly? | 07:23 |
| fiona|at | itaylor57: thx. no way to work around? | 07:23 |
| DasEi | hanasaki: what about umm is id CODA, I don't understand that question | 07:23 |
| pgpkeys | i've heard google chrome / chromium called a lot of things but a botnet aint one of them | 07:23 |
| hanasaki | coda and the andrew file system? | 07:23 |
| * i8degrees seconds pgpkeys motion | 07:24 | |
| DasEi | hanasaki: no idea of it, sorry | 07:24 |
| israfel | insmod, So basically, auto wlan0...iface wlan0 inet 802.11g ? | 07:24 |
| hanasaki | ok | 07:24 |
| maco | hanasaki: AFS/CODA do leave your LAN | 07:24 |
| maco | hanasaki: they are well-replicated | 07:24 |
| maco | hanasaki: if you want something internal only, try iFolder | 07:24 |
| maco | hanasaki: its a server *you* set up and admin yourself | 07:24 |
| hanasaki | maco... yes.. but only on my laptop right? not to some other company's server | 07:24 |
| maco | hanasaki: as i said, YOU run the server | 07:25 |
| hanasaki | maco: I am looking for the replicated and secure | 07:25 |
| pgpkeys | i8degrees: notice the complete lack of any answer :) | 07:25 |
| insmod | <israfel>no 802.11g ---------static ppoe dhcp etc | 07:25 |
| methylenedioxy | would rsync not suffice? | 07:25 |
| hanasaki | maco: but is coda / afs dead? | 07:25 |
| i8degrees | pgpkeys: precisely | 07:25 |
| maco | hanasaki: no | 07:25 |
| DasEi | maco: link about coda ? | 07:25 |
| maco | hanasaki: until 6 months ago i worked for one of the 2 companies that sell OpenAFS support | 07:25 |
| hanasaki | http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/mirrors.html | 07:25 |
| israfel | insmod, And that's it? Or is there a bunch of stuff I have to put in? | 07:26 |
| hanasaki | cool maco - so what is AFS AFS2 openAFS and coda... what's alive?dead? better for what? | 07:26 |
| itaylor57 | fiona|at: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/programming/C/other-programming-languages.html | 07:26 |

| i8degrees | hanasaki: glusterfs is cool in my book :] been using it as part of a two node RAID 1+0 disk cluster | 07:26 |
| insmod | <israfel>whatever iwconfig needs pass etc | 07:26 |
| DasEi | so coda is another filesharing protocol then | 07:26 |
| hanasaki | i8degrees: I will check that out.. never heard of it | 07:26 |
| maco | hanasaki: AFS was bought and sold many times. IBM got tired of it and released it as OpenAFS probably almost 20 years ago now. | 07:27 |
| insmod | <israfel>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12045 | 07:27 |
| maco | hanasaki: CODA is a fork of AFS that includes offline capabilities, iirc | 07:27 |
| hanasaki | maco.. no offline in AFS at all? | 07:27 |
| Protocol84 | Is there a way I can make session restore nore remember my skype instance so I can have a startup script handle it? I know this is possible in KDE but I cannot figure out how to do it in GNOME | 07:27 |

| hanasaki | hmm then AFS may not be for me.. does AFS or CODA have its own disk format ? fuse? sit on top of ext4? | 07:28 |
| i8degrees | hanasaki: perhaps even better than glusterfs, for your needs, would be DRBD | 07:28 |
| Gnea | evilaim: what's T.O? | 07:28 |

| israfel | insmod, Gnea , I think I see an issue. Wine (which I used to install and rip the drivers out) might be 32bit. (Checking Wine to find out) If it's a 32 bit driver, it won't work on 64 bit Ubuntu, right? | 07:42 |
| admanager | hi, I have a problem, my resolution cannot be adjusted, I managed to get a file "xorg.conf" but the system does not allow me to put it in place (/etc/x11) | 07:42 |
| insmod | <israfel> ndiswrapper has the drivers on there site | 07:42 |
| curtmack | admanager: You need sudo/root access to change xorg.conf | 07:43 |
| i8degrees | soapcontainer: err, that's not quite what I meant to say *laughs* ...Google's Adobe Flash binary is special in that they do additional engineering work beyond that of merely using nswrapper for integration into the browser and thus they must handle the updates Adobe issues out further. | 07:43 |
| admanager | even with sudo/root, the problem is that the file does not exist in its place. | 07:44 |

| methylenedioxy | admanager you've got the drivers installed, correct? | 07:45 |
| soapcontainer | i8degrees, if one of their updates caused an error how would you find out? | 07:45 |

| soapcontainer | (one of the updates that gets no flag) | 07:45 |
| i8degrees | soapcontainer: so it actually is a bit as if chrome phones home with Google in order to check if there is a new version available, but that in of itself does not create a botnet. it certainly creates an inherit risk as with all network oriented I/O, but other than the tid bit involving not first asking the user beforehand, it is, for all practical purposes, identical to how any other piece of software handles all this | 07:45 |
| pk__ | i installed lamp on lucid | 07:46 |
| methylenedioxy | the autoupdate feature does represent a vulnerability on some Windows at least--evilguard | 07:46 |

| israfel | insmod, there's not a lot of cards listed here... I wonder if the WN311T is the same as the WN311B... | 07:46 |

| soapcontainer | ignorance = fear | 07:47 |
| israfel | insmod, Nope, not the same. That's Pre-N. | 07:47 |
| i8degrees | soapcontainer: you'd notice the manifestation of the bug as the result. as to how to run diagnostics, there's various methods in route to this :] in either regard, you can look at the plugins via 'about:plugins' if typed into the address bar | 07:48 |

| Gnea | there's a process to this, please be patient and go through it, otherwise you will receive no help. | 08:29 |
| methylenedioxy | maybe it's a problem with the program :p | 08:29 |

| squirrelpimp | is there a way to store informations/annotations with a file, which are not contained in the file itself but with some tool | 08:32 |
| squirrelpimp | ? | 08:32 |
| DasEi | squirrelpimp: hi, what's up (or down ) ? | 08:32 |
| Abhish | Have an odd error from quick compile in Kate. "gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" | 08:32 |
| squirrelpimp | so i can annotate files with random thoughts or the command i used to generate them without adding data to the file's content | 08:33 |
| chandrageetha | yes. i have submitted the output | 08:33 |
| squirrelpimp | another way to achieve this would be to "bundle" a file to another, if possible | 08:33 |

| methylenedioxy | squirrelpimp such as a tagging system? | 08:34 |
| squirrelpimp | by bundelling i'd achieve that a file gets moved to whereever its bundle moved as well | 08:34 |

| methylenedioxy | Oh.. hm | 08:34 |
| chandrageetha | am i correct? | 08:34 |
| DasEi | squirrelpimp: to each file there are filesystemheaders, saying last accesed/altered, permissions and such | 08:35 |
| Gnea | chandrageetha: yes, good job. | 08:35 |
| squirrelpimp | methylenedioxy: say i have some data extracted from an experiment or a filelist with checksums or a database dump and i want to store how i created the data | 08:35 |
| Gnea | chandrageetha: now for the next step. | 08:35 |
| chandrageetha | yes | 08:35 |
| squirrelpimp | i cannot write the SQL command to the data directly, or at least i'd have to add a comment, which would get overwritten when updating the file | 08:35 |
| methylenedioxy | Ah, I'm not sure, I would just leave some extra info file next to it | 08:35 |
| Protocol84 | wow I did not know ubottu could be so handy | 08:36 |
| Gnea | chandrageetha: please tell me how you're trying to run the netbeans file | 08:36 |
| squirrelpimp | methylenedioxy: yes, usually i use filename.cmd or something like that, but i tend to forget them when copying and its a bit tedious | 08:36 |
| chandrageetha | by clicking on the netbeans icon on my desktop | 08:36 |
| methylenedioxy | Ah | 08:36 |
| Gnea | !botsnack | 08:36 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 08:36 |
| squirrelpimp | the filesystem should write the full command line of the command which creates the file into the metadata | 08:36 |
| squirrelpimp | that would be cool | 08:36 |
| Gnea | chandrageetha: okay, that will simply not do. can you edit the file? | 08:37 |
| squirrelpimp | file gets created or updated -> write full metadata to file | 08:37 |
| chandrageetha | which file? | 08:37 |
| Gnea | chandrageetha: the netbeans file | 08:37 |
| methylenedioxy | It may be possible if you make your own fileformat or if the tool already supports that | 08:37 |
| chandrageetha | how to? | 08:37 |
| Gnea | chandrageetha: right-click on it, open with gedit or something | 08:37 |
| squirrelpimp | methylenedioxy: yes, thats right. i hoped someone here could come up with some secret metadata-field i could exploit in ext3 | 08:38 |
| squirrelpimp | :) | 08:38 |
| chandrageetha | ok. will try if you guide me | 08:38 |

| insmod | <Protocol84>I see | 09:24 |
| chandrageetha | i took option Rebuild and Run. it says Build Successful. but no output window | 09:24 |
| itaylor57 | well at least it runs w/o error, I haven't used the netbeans ide in a while but output should go to some window | 09:25 |
| n2diy_ | insmod, that's not the way its working here, when I go to a subdirectory, it only list the gnumeric files in that directory. | 09:25 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> at the top add killall -9 skype && done | 09:25 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> fixed | 09:25 |
| Israfel_ | I just spent 8 hours following every guide to get this card working. I'm done. It's going back to Staples tomorrow. | 09:25 |
| Protocol84 | top of what? | 09:25 |
| Protocol84 | startup script? | 09:26 |
| KoteleT | i have a vaya laptop with wifi iw3965, if i use a usb wifi from atheros , the drivers (atheros & iw3945) will fight in conflict or not? how the system uses my drivers , is thaht risk for me or not? | 09:26 |

| Sameyeam | methylenedioxy, I tried to give access but it didn't work | 09:26 |
| methylenedioxy | Protocol84 it looks like GNOME used to support that kind of thing but it hasn't been reeplemented | 09:27 |
| KoteleT | if i put my atheros usb wifi out, should i desinstall atheros driver? | 09:27 |
| Protocol84 | But I see what you mean | 09:27 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> does it auto load skype? | 09:27 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> on startup | 09:27 |
| Sameyeam | methylenedioxy, perhaps you could point me in the right direction? | 09:27 |

| insmod | <Protocol84> great add what I said to the top | 09:28 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> do you login tty or gui | 09:29 |
| n2diy_ | insmod, then it is broken in Xubuntu 10.04, let me go look for, or file a bug report. | 09:29 |
| SergeyIT | KoteleT, remove it and u will look | 09:29 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> i do tty and you can add it to xinitrc | 09:29 |

| insmod | <Protocol84> yes thats it ~/.dmrc | 09:30 |
| Protocol84 | wait *is confused* I lost the folder where I put the autostart sctipts.... | 09:31 |

| itaylor57 | Myrtti: the apt update alternatives didn't seem to work | 09:32 |
| chandrageetha | no. sudo synaptic on terminal? | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | insmod: sudo is the commandline version, gksudo is the graphical. Using graphical to launch GUI apps sets some environment variables right, as using plain sudo leaves something amiss | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | chandrageetha: gksudo synaptic | 09:32 |
| insmod | <Protocol84> i would add it to dmrc | 09:32 |
| insmod | <Myrtti> yes sudo -s :P | 09:33 |

| Myrtti | insmod: and I've been using specifically Ubuntu since 2005, and the rules of this channel are that we don't help people breaking their installation, and using sudo for GUI has that potential.

| Raymond | OK, seeing that it appears that no one can help, if I create a startup disk off one of my systems that does work and re-install, will it overwrite my settings and files or is this a valid system repair option? | 09:56 |
| methylenedioxy | that looks like the southbridge | 09:56 |
| shcherbak | falstaff: vnc or vlc | 09:56 |

| slim_charles | thing is i cant get none of them to show up | 09:58 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: did you use separate partitions for the mountpoints? | 09:58 |
| methylenedioxy | Is the latter an external card? | 09:58 |
| slim_charles | im not sure | 09:58 |

| Raymond | rs0832: Hi rs0832, I do have 2 partitions on the HDD. One for the re-install software from the manufacturer and the other for Ubuntu. | 09:59 |
| sunny1 | Anyone have any clue what port ubuntu uses for non-browser based connections? | 09:59 |
| chandrageetha | the output???? yes. thank you itaykir57, now i got the clear idea that it is so. thanks a lot, may god bless you | 09:59 |
| chandrageetha | bye all | 09:59 |
| methylenedioxy | Have you got snd_intel_hda in your lsmod? | 09:59 |
| slim_charles | i think some updates were done before restart | 09:59 |

| slim_charles | lsmod | grep snd | 10:00 |
| slim_charles | snd_page_alloc 7120 0 | 10:00 |
| sunny1 | I.e. api hits to twitter - Does it go through same port as firefox or is there a separate port for that...am I even making sense | 10:00 |
| slim_charles | doesnt look like it | 10:00 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: did you do a fresh install or did it work before? | 10:00 |
| itaylor57 | how do you send a message to an op that is offline? | 10:00 |
| methylenedioxy | You can try loading it but my memory of what I had to do to fix my issues is fuzzy | 10:00 |
| slim_charles | i think i tried to manually load but to no effect | 10:01 |
| Myrtti | itaylor57: with memoserv? | 10:01 |
| slim_charles | theres nothing under the alsa folder | 10:01 |
| Raymond | It worked before, I installed V9 originally about 18 months ago and have not had any problems until now. I get the same results regardless of which version I use (i.e. at boot time, I have the last 4 versions available) | 10:01 |
| slim_charles | even though i installed | 10:01 |
| itaylor57 | Myrtti: thanks forgot the comman | 10:01 |
| Myrtti | itaylor57: or if it's about Ubuntu IRC channels you can always use the ops channel to see if others can help you | 10:01 |
| falstaff | vlc gave me a message about insufficient resources and bad file allocation. | 10:02 |

| slim_charles | methylenedioxy, is there wanyway i can find out which modules work? | 10:06 |
| sunny1 | shcherbak: I'm using rubygems, so I don't think its that, but I've had problems with any kind of api hit (twitter, paypal, facebook) | 10:06 |
| slim_charles | then put them to kernel with modprobe snd-XXX | 10:06 |
| slim_charles | SergeyIT, uhm i dualboot and was in w7 and sound worked fine | 10:06 |
| methylenedioxy | there are several modules aside from the specific one for the chipset | 10:06 |
| methylenedioxy | snd_xxx | 10:06 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: do you have dual boot with windows or something? | 10:06 |
| slim_charles | is there anyway | 10:07 |

| hihihi100 | i need help to create a launcher for FGRun | 10:10 |
| Trashi | hi. i want to print a pdf document with the help of okular, but it doesnt start. what can i doo to fix? | 10:10 |
| methylenedioxy | but IIRC there's a specific option in the conf for that driver, so it can definitely be problematic | 10:10 |
| sunny1 | shcherbak: I've tested it on a vps and it works fine, just my local one running 10.10 | 10:10 |
| hihihi100 | what do I have to write in "command"? | 10:10 |
| methylenedioxy | build conf* | 10:10 |

| Raymond | Jordan_U: no.. do this in a Manual recovery session? | 10:12 |
| methylenedioxy | if it's a fresh install I would nuke it from orbit and run a consistency check on the install medium | 10:12 |
| slim_charles | i think i had a similar problem | 10:12 |
| slim_charles | but when i pressed S | 10:13 |
| slim_charles | it went through | 10:13 |
| slim_charles | and i was able to log in | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | Raymond: Yes, or from a LiveCD. | 10:13 |
| sunny1 | shcherbak: Likewise, thanks for your help | 10:13 |
| slim_charles | Raymond, do you have any USB devices connected while booting? | 10:13 |

| falstaff | I can't get my video applications to work ... vlc does't work -- openshot wont work and movie player won't work. | 10:14 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: then either your partition is not mounting or ubuntu is messed up.. did you do the fsck Jordan_U suggested? | 10:14 |
| ilu-tg | hello all, i want to connect to a remote mac server via vnc.. and i tried vinagre and gtkvncviewer, but they both tell me "connection closed" as soon as i want to connect | 10:15 |
| coz_ | falstaff, "wont work" do they open ? | 10:15 |
| ilu-tg | what could that be? | 10:15 |
| Raymond | rs0832: the recovery partition (Win) loads and I can boot into manual recovery mode via ubuntu, but not the normal GUI... | 10:15 |
| methylenedioxy | Raymond are there any errors in the boot log? | 10:15 |
| Raymond | rs0832: no, I was seeing if the recovery part worked and trying to type on a netbook keyboard instead of a full sized one is slowing me down in this chat.. I'll do it now... | 10:16 |
| falstaff | coz_ they open but will not play videos | 10:16 |
| coz_ | falstaff, ok do you have all of the codecs installed? | 10:16 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: ok | 10:16 |
| coz_ | falstaff, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:16 |
| coz_ | falstaff, if you have sun java installed I would prefer you do this via synaptic package manager | 10:17 |
| falstaff | Coz_ Thank you | 10:17 |
| SergeyIT | slim_charles, it looks like your case https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/85510 | 10:17 |
| coz_ | falstaff, well see if that remedies the problem before you thank me :) | 10:18 |
| Raymond | I'm executing the command now and it's in the throws of rebooting... | 10:18 |
| slim_charles | SergeyIT, does it say anywhere there on how to fix? | 10:19 |
| methylenedioxy | SergeyIT that would explain why recompiling the whole alsa set worked in the past for me ! | 10:19 |
| slim_charles | i see it marked as solved | 10:19 |
| Raymond | slim_charles: No USB devices connected... | 10:19 |
| Raymond | methylenedioxy: I haven't checked, I'm trying the other suggestions in the order they're coming at me.. | 10:19 |
| coz_ | falstaff, also ,, if you intend on playing dvds you will need to run this command from the terminal sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 10:19 |
| methylenedioxy | Raymond no problem, was just curious | 10:20 |
| Raymond | rs0832: & slim_charles same result on boot "An error occurred while mounting /" | 10:20 |
| gccster | guys i have a directory with files and i want to chown -R owner_foo (if owner=foo2) is this possible ? | 10:20 |
| d0ng | o.O | 10:21 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: i think that for some reason your ubuntu partition cannot be mounted... or it cannot identify the partition | 10:21 |
| Raymond | methylenedioxy: no problems, valid comment I thought.. | 10:21 |
| slim_charles | Raymond, its important that you edit the file on the harddrive instead of the live cd one in memory | 10:21 |
| slim_charles | liek you have to manyllu browse for it | 10:21 |
| slim_charles | find it | 10:21 |
| coz_ | gccster, I believe you should be able to as root usr | 10:21 |
| slim_charles | then do the command with root privilege in the terminal | 10:21 |
| Raymond | rs0832: I can read the HDD once the live CD boots | 10:21 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: yes but the installed ubuntu is having the problem mounting it | 10:22 |
| methylenedioxy | is this a fresh installation? | 10:22 |
| coz_ | falstaff, also you could install the w32codecs do you have 32 or 64 bit system? | 10:22 |
| itaylor57 | gccster: sudo chmod -R | 10:22 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: others with your problem seemed to have found this as a solution: http://www.nyutech.com/2009/03/make-ubuntu-mount-partitions-and-drives.html | 10:22 |
| LukeL | gccster you can find files that only match a specific owner using find | 10:22 |
| LukeL | then with the exec action change ownership | 10:22 |
| gccster | LukeL, well thats what i want | 10:23 |
| gccster | is it possible to give me an example ? | 10:23 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: if that article is right, maybe it is mounting the wrong partition first and giving it the id of the partition that holds ubuntu | 10:24 |
| LukeL | should be detailed in the man page, 'man find' | 10:24 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: so when booting using that partition's id, it is really reading the wrong one | 10:24 |
| LukeL | gccster if you have troubles figuring it out i can help further | 10:24 |
| Raymond | rs0832: I understand, I have checked and there is the '/tmp" directory (Via Live CD Boot) that is apparently missing... | 10:24 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: did you add any new disks or modify partitions? | 10:25 |
| gccster | ok if you ever done this before u can tell me to save me time if not its ok ill rtfm ...:P | 10:25 |

| itaylor57 | the wonders of regular expressions never cease to amaze me | 10:39 |
| rs0832 | rufra: is your then change the insmod ext2 to insmod ext4 and then try to boot | 10:39 |
| coz_ | Raymond, clock wrong? could be batter on motherboard | 10:39 |
| coz_ | Raymond, battery rather | 10:39 |

| dexi | Hi everyone. I'm having trouble getting audio into my USB headset. It is recognized as being plugged in by ubuntu (10.04) but when i select it, i don't hear anything. My speakers work fine, btw. | 10:40 |
| Raymond | coz_ how do I adjust the clock via the command line? | 10:40 |
| rs0832 | rufra: try this : Boot into a live cd and mount volume and then do something like this: | 10:40 |
| rs0832 | sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -b /mnt/sda1/boot | 10:40 |
| insmod | <maco>fuck you | 10:40 |
| AdvoWork | and my nas log shows: mountd[3694]: mount request denied from SERVER_Im_mounting_from for /mnt/Data/TEST/Files any suggestions please? | 10:40 |
| Raymond | rs0832: I'll give it a go... Rebooting off live cd... | 10:41 |
| rufra | rs0832: Ok. Still kernel panic. What's strange is that i reformatted the whole drive. Why would the partition still be called msdos1? | 10:41 |
| shachaf | maco: There are surely more dangerous commands than that one. All it'll do in the worst case is crash your system or something like that. No data loss or anything, usually. | 10:41 |
| rs0832 | rufra" use the same live cd version as the installation | 10:41 |

| mohan1111 | Is it safe and good for the laptop to run on AC power when the battery is fully charged? | 10:43 |
| blackshirt | rrr: do you need image editor ?? | 10:43 |
| methylenedioxy | I think you should remove the battery when it's charged | 10:43 |
| rufra | rs0832: fair enough. Booting into live cd now. Ill let you know once i've typed in the commands | 10:44 |
| methylenedioxy | mohan1111 if nothing else because of the heat of the computer | 10:44 |
| coz_ | mohan1111, I believe it should be fine. the battery is essentially bypassed when using ac | 10:44 |

| rrr | any suggestion.. | 10:46 |
| rs0832 | mohan1111: that would be better answered by your hardware guide if you got one with the laptop(some can get damaged, others are more resilient- cause of new features and stuff) but the general is batteries get damaged when you do that | 10:46 |

| zetheroo | ok It could just be me ... but isn't Flash just getting worse and worse in Ubuntu!? My browser is freezing up so much in the last couple months ... | 10:47 |
| coz_ | rrr, if you google ubuntu raw image edition you should a few hits worth looking at | 10:48 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: i have the latest version .. it works fine so far | 10:48 |
| zetheroo | I have been using Ubuntu since 2006 and it's never been this poor | 10:48 |
| zetheroo | rs0832: yeah? also got the latest here ... | 10:49 |
| methylenedioxy | zetheroo any kinds of flash files in particular or in general? | 10:49 |

| rocket16 | Even after cleaning the system, after installing and removing several apps (for testing each), my system has slowed down considerably. I tried bleachbit, Ubuntu tweak, manual cache cleaning and everything, but still it isn't as fast as it was when I installed it (and I have removed many apps with their lightweight counterparts, and have disabled all fancy effects). Any help? | 10:49 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: maybe you can try a different browser | 10:49 |
| rrr | okey thank u all.. Ill try your suggestions... | 10:49 |
| zetheroo | jrib: 32bit I thinkj | 10:49 |
| rrr | i hope i can do everything in ubuntu.. just like u all.. | 10:49 |
| jrib | zetheroo: run « uname -m » and find out | 10:50 |
| zetheroo | rs0832: same thing in Chromium | 10:50 |
| zetheroo | 2.6.35-24-generic | 10:50 |
| jrib | zetheroo: this is not the result of « uname -m » | 10:50 |
| zetheroo | methylenedioxy: no .. even having a Cnet page open will cause issues | 10:50 |
| Raymond | rs0832: Yes, I can make directories.... I'll let you know how I go... | 10:50 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: does it happen while watching videos or playing games or flash apps | 10:51 |
| zetheroo | i686 | 10:51 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: ok good luck:) | 10:51 |
| methylenedioxy | maybe too much junk stored in the cache? | 10:51 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: thats 64 bit | 10:51 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: i think | 10:51 |
| zetheroo | rs0832: anything ... sometimes it will work great on YouTube ... and then if another tab is opened with flash stuff it causes issues | 10:52 |
| itaylor57 | I am on 10.10 64bit so I try to avoid flash videos myself | 10:52 |
| methylenedioxy | oh | 10:52 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: ok... do you have good ram? atleast 1 gb? | 10:52 |
| sgo11 | Hi, If I have a central server with a public IP. PersonA has a PC_A behind a NAT. how can another personB download a file which is on PC_A? assume PC_A doesn't have access to his router/firewall. thanks. | 10:52 |
| zetheroo | jrib: i686 | 10:52 |
| jrib | zetheroo: ok, never mind then | 10:52 |
| zetheroo | rs0832: yeah ... 2 | 10:52 |
| casperfoo | zetheroo: this is Firefox you're using? | 10:53 |
| jrib | sparkiezzz: personA could scp it to personB? | 10:53 |
| rufra | rs0832: can't do what you asked. here's a copy of the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543513/ | 10:53 |
| zetheroo | rs0832: I have been using this machine for the last 2 years with nothing but Ubuntu on it ... and I have never seen it act like this | 10:53 |
| jrib | sgo11: personA could scp it to personB? | 10:53 |
| zetheroo | casperfoo: FF ... Chromium | 10:53 |
| falstaff | I can't get anything to work ... I even tried ffmplay and it wouldn't work. | 10:53 |
| casperfoo | zetheroo: it is slow in both browers? | 10:54 |
| rs0832 | zetheroo: try cleaning your cache like methylenedioxy suggested earlier | 10:54 |
| methylenedioxy | falstaff is this problem for all videos that you've tried? | 10:54 |
| sgo11 | jrib, ^_^ personB is just any users. they may run windows. scp won't work. | 10:54 |
| methylenedioxy | a problem* | 10:54 |
| zetheroo | casperfoo: it's not that it's "slow" per se .. more that it freezes from time to time and greys out for a bit ... then comes back to life ... but only if there is something Flash going on | 10:54 |
| falstaff | I have only tried one ... | 10:54 |
| rs0832 | rufra, what about the insmod ext2 part.. did you try that? | 10:54 |
| slim_charles | u using 32 bit or 64 bit? | 10:55 |
| methylenedioxy | Try one that you haven't made yourself | 10:55 |
| falstaff | I will get another to test. | 10:55 |
| rufra | rs0832: yep i got kernel panic | 10:55 |
| falstaff | okay! | 10:55 |
| rs0832 | rufra: hmm | 10:55 |
| sunny1 | I'm having huge packet loss using wireless, can anyone help? | 10:55 |
| casperfoo | zetheroo: weird, I'd say clear the cache, try a fresh Firefox profile, move the profile to a ramdisk | 10:55 |
| sunny1 | Its running at around 70%, which I assume is terrible | 10:56 |
| rufra | rs0832: i know! its annoying. I don't think I'm being too inept. At least I hope | 10:56 |
| sgo11 | I am thinking if it's possible that personB can directly establish a connection to PC_A by the use of a central server. | 10:56 |
| rs0832 | rufra: do you have dual boot with windows or something? | 10:56 |
| methylenedioxy | yeah, youtube runs fine even on my netbook, though I block any flash ads | 10:56 |
| zetheroo | casperfoo: I already tried clearing the cache .. .I'll try renewing the profile ... though that should not be the issue since it also happens in Chromium | 10:56 |
| Raymond | rs0832: my fstab looks nothing like the one on the web site you sent.. Could it be the one from the live cd? | 10:56 |
| rufra | rs0832: nope deleted the windows partition. I'm using an extra laptop to stay o IRC | 10:56 |
| rs0832 | rufra: no not annoying or inept :) ... i used hmmm just to say hold on.. let me see :) | 10:57 |
| casperfoo | zetheroo: that'd seem to indicate it wasn't the particular browser, I agree; could be a Flash regression | 10:57 |
| jrib | sgo11: so there are 3 computers involved? | 10:57 |
| === wolf is now known as Guest18769 | ||
| sgo11 | jrib, yeah. PC_A behind a NAT. PC_B behind another NAT. A central server with a public IP. | 10:57 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: what is the path you are opening it from? | 10:58 |
| jrib | sgo11: ah, then you could use ssh tunneling | 10:58 |
| itaylor57 | there is a 64bit flash plugin PPA, but I haven't tried it | 10:59 |
| jrib | sgo11: see -L and -R of the ssh command | 10:59 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: what protocol do you want to use? HTTP? SSH? FTP? I think you just need to serve that up on PC_A and setup port forwarding | 10:59 |
| rs0832 | rufra: you said you deleted the windows partition... did you install windows first? i mean at the beginning, when you got the hd/computer? | 10:59 |
| jrib | sgo11: sorry, I mean "forwarding", not "tunneling" it looks like | 10:59 |
| Guest18769 | hello. I'm having trouble trying to listen to internet radio stations that use mms protocol. I've already installed all gstramer plugins and libmms. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks. | 10:59 |
| sgo11 | jrib, I am thinking about it. but I don't know how ssh tunneling performs if there are thousands of clients. | 10:59 |
| Raymond | rs0832: "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" is the entire line, if the info isn't there, how do I pull it up? | 11:00 |
| methylenedioxy | Guest18769 this is only a bandaid but will VLC play the stream? | 11:00 |
| jrib | sgo11: you would just forward port WHATEVER on the public ip computer to personA. Then personB would connect to public_ip:WHATEVER | 11:00 |
| rufra | rs0832: windows came preinstalled... I wanted out into linux | 11:00 |
| === Xunie` is now known as Xunie | ||
| casperfoo | sgo11: sounds like you need a web server to me to allow all these clients to download files | 11:01 |
| jrib | sgo11: I don't know how it performs. There's probably some way to do it without using ssh but I'm not aware of it | 11:01 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: you have to mount the drive and load the fstab from that drive | 11:01 |

| Trashi | hi. i want to print a pdf document with the help of okular, but it doesnt start. what can i doo to fix? | 11:06 |
| rs0832 | rufra: is the solaris installation booting? | 11:06 |
| rufra | rs0832: how do i Check that? | 11:07 |
| rs0832 | rufra: dont you have a boot menu entry for that? | 11:07 |
| fr34k3d | i used mplayer ....smplayer | 11:07 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, thanks for reply. sorry I was just away. I assume PCs don't have access to their router/firewall. so PC_A to setup port forwarding on router/firewall won't work. jrib suggests ssh port forwarding should work. but I don't know the performance. | 11:07 |
| fr34k3d | both of them didnt work | 11:07 |
| Raymond | rs0832: I've modified it, but it is a read only file so I can't overwrite it. | 11:07 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: what can you print ubuntu-test-page, self-test-page, text files from gedit, from growser? | 11:07 |
| jrib | sgo11: try #openssh to ask about performance? | 11:07 |
| rufra | rs0832: nope: boot opts only linux, linux(recovery) memtest and a different memtest | 11:08 |
| Trashi | shcherbak: it works all... except printing pdf's | 11:08 |
| rs0832 | rufra: do you need any data that is there on the disk? | 11:09 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: did you do it as root? | 11:09 |
| rufra | rs0832: nope, new office comp. Nothing matters just getting it running | 11:09 |
| rs0832 | rufra: then try changing the structure | 11:09 |
| falstaff | progress! Some videos are playing .avi seems to work but many mpegs still won't and openshot is still non functional. | 11:09 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: you could try evince. some self made one page pdf too. | 11:09 |
| aditia_ | hello guys | 11:09 |
| sgo11 | jrib, thanks for the reply. If the central server do port forwarding for PC_A and PC_B, will it also handle all the traffic? if I transfer files from A to B, will the files transfer from A directly to B? or Will the files transfer from A to central server, and then from central server to B? thanks. | 11:10 |
| rs0832 | rufra: make only one partition if you can, format it to ext4 and reinstall | 11:10 |
| rufra | rs0832: how so? (I just updated the kernel, let me reboot and see if it works) | 11:10 |
| jrib | sgo11: the latter | 11:10 |
| aditia_ | how can I put pytask to system tray? | 11:10 |
| Trashi | shcherbak: i did ... okular doesnt print ... doesnt matter its a selfmade pdf, or s.th. similar | 11:11 |
| rs0832 | rufra: k | 11:11 |
| Raymond | rs0832: probably not, I used the file browser to mount and open the file.. How do I open it as root? | 11:11 |
| sgo11 | jrib, that will add too much overhead to the central server. | 11:11 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: cd to the file and sudo gedit fstab | 11:11 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: I don't really understand your problem I guess, maybe you could explain more of your goal | 11:11 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: then evince | 11:11 |
| Trashi | evince what? | 11:12 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: are you gnome? | 11:12 |
| Trashi | no kde | 11:12 |
| maco | Trashi: okular for kde | 11:12 |
| rs0832 | Thrashi: you can try running it from a terminal... it should give you an output of any errors | 11:12 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | rs0832 | 11:12 |
| rs0832 | Trashi: you can try running it from a terminal... it should give you an output of any errors | 11:12 |
| ubottu | rs0832: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 11:12 |
| maco | Trashi: oh wait doesnt print? thats odd... | 11:12 |
| maco | Trashi: is your printer setup in systemsettings? | 11:13 |
| jrib | sgo11: well the optimal solution would be to get access to the router/firewall | 11:13 |
| rs0832 | Jordan_U: thanks | 11:13 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: try xpdf, it should print anything | 11:13 |
| Jordan_U | rs0832: You're welcome. | 11:13 |
| Trashi | hm ok ill try another program | 11:13 |
| rufra | rs0832:ok just booted after new kernel install... No joy. Now my boot menu is linux 2.6.35-23-generic (normal and recovery) 2.6.35-22-generic (normal and recovery) memtest(86+) and memtest86+, serial console 115200 | 11:14 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: can you print to file with okular? | 11:14 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: use gksudo instead of sudo | 11:14 |
| Trashi | shcherbak: yes | 11:15 |
| rs0832 | rufra: what puzzles me is the swap/solaris part in your fdisk -l output | 11:16 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, ok. thanks for the attention. Our company want to solve the problem by transfering files between two different NAT. We have a central server with public IP. If PC_A and PC_B under two different NAT, somehow, we want PC_A and PC_B can access their shared files directly. The best concept I can think is this: PC_A tells the central server its IP and ports. PC_B asks PC_A's IP and ports. and then PC_B directly access PC_A. | 11:16 |
| rufra | rs0832: strange. So you reckon reinstall again then? | 11:16 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yes and redo all the partitions. including formatting | 11:16 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: and you want this to happen in some sort of dynamic fashion? i.e. new PCs join these separate networks | 11:17 |
| rufra | rs0832: ok, booting into live cd again! Would you mind going through the menus with me so there are no cock ups on my side? | 11:17 |
| Jordan_U | rs0832: rufra: It's normal for a swap partition to show up in fdisk as swap/solaris, they share the same msdos partition type. | 11:17 |
| rs0832 | rufra: sure | 11:18 |
| sgo11 | jrib, customers and normal users won't understand what router/firewall is. they maybe even't don't know their router admin username or password. :) | 11:18 |
| rs0832 | Jordan_U: ahh ok | 11:18 |
| Jordan_U | rs0832: rufra: Use "sudo blkid" for a better idea of what's actually on each partition. | 11:18 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, yeah, that's cool. It's good PC_A can access PC_B directly in the end. I don't want to add too much overhead to the server. | 11:19 |
| shcherbak | Trashi: reinstaling printer is one option, "scaling down" pdf another, uot of expirince know that some pdfs seems to be unprintable with common software. there is cli cups utility it may give you hint whats wrong. | 11:19 |
| rufra | Jordan_U rs0832: ok Ill get the terminal up again gimme a sec | 11:19 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: how are the two computers supposed to initially setup the connection? will the PC_B know the public IP and a port it can contact PC_A on? | 11:21 |
| dragonkeeper | Ubuntu 10.10 - can someone help me with this error ? http://pastebin.com/5wZxK7Vx | 11:21 |

| army | @caelum install it agian? | 11:22 |
| Caelum | I doubt that would help | 11:22 |
| Raymond | rs0832: I tried mounting it with the mount command and get an "already mounted or busy" error but I still can't change into that directory... | 11:22 |
| rooks | dragonkeeper, dmesg | grep bttv ? | 11:22 |
| rs0832 | Caelum: press ctrl alt f1 to check for errors | 11:23 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, the concept should work. like bittorrent, peers download files directly from other peers. | 11:23 |
| Caelum | rs0832: I tried that, it won't let me | 11:23 |
| shcherbak | Caelum: Alt-Ctrl-F1? | 11:23 |
| dragonkeeper | rooks ... seems to of done nothing ? | 11:23 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: yeah, the tracker facilitates all of that | 11:23 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: try using the disk utility (system>administration) | 11:23 |
| Caelum | rs0832: I guess I can boot the live cd, mount it and check the logs? | 11:23 |
| rufra | Jordan_U: rs0832: here's the output from blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/543527/ | 11:23 |

| rs0832 | Caelum: you can try that | 11:24 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, yeah, but I don't know how I can use of the tracker facilitates. | 11:24 |
| dragonkeeper | rooks ... seems to of done nothing again | 11:24 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: you'll need to design a way for the setup to happen... e.g. a matchmaking of some sort, at least to establish the IP/port for PC_B to get to PC_A on, then it's just a matter of a port forward to a web server or something running on PC_A (one of many options) | 11:25 |
| AdvoWork | i know i can do ls -all for example to get file info, but how can i do it for a single file? | 11:25 |
| rooks | dragonkeeper, hmm.. "modprobe bttv" and then lanuch tvtime? | 11:25 |
| Caelum | rs0832: was I supposed to install grub on the drive or the partition? maybe it didn't really boot | 11:25 |
| rufra | Jordan_U: rs0832: Is the UUID given by blkid meant to match the one in my grub? because as you might see in here http://paste.ubuntu.com/543504/ they dont | 11:25 |
| rs0832 | Caelum: i think it needs to boot in order to show the screen with the red dots :)( | 11:26 |
| dragonkeeper | rooks .. still nothing | 11:26 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yes | 11:26 |
| filsuf | ubuntu is like a pregnant granny!! ... bloated and slow | 11:26 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, any existing project/tools/protocols I can use of, instead of building it from scratch? it will be too much work. | 11:26 |
| dnivra | AdvoWork, ls -all <filename> | 11:26 |
| casperfoo | spope: you could consider setting up a tracker on the central server and web server there listing the torrents, then PC_A seeds, PC_B uses the website on the central server to download torrent files and talk to the tracker | 11:26 |
| rs0832 | rufra: the uuid should always be the same(it is a unique id) | 11:26 |
| rooks | dragonkeeper, k still nothing on, dmesg | grep -i tv ? | 11:26 |
| Caelum | rs0832: I see | 11:26 |
| rufra | rs0832: so could that be the issue? | 11:26 |
| Jordan_U | rufra: Yes. Very odd that thay don't match. | 11:27 |
| dragonkeeper | rooks [159912.174911] bttv: driver version 0.9.18 loaded | 11:27 |
| dragonkeeper | [159912.174913] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture | 11:27 |
| rs0832 | Caelum: my guess is it is gotten stuck like a lag | 11:27 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: the key there is the central server being able to act as a kind of directory service; you could leverage a lot from BitTorrent; I don't have any other ideas at the moment sorry | 11:27 |
| rufra | Jordan_U: rs0832: Shall I get out of the live cd and see if tinkering with the grub a bit more helps? | 11:27 |
| rooks | dragonkeeper, hmm... strange.. | 11:27 |
| rs0832 | Caelum: better to have grub on the partition | 11:27 |
| army | where r u come from? | 11:28 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, maybe, we just build a bittorrent server? any good open source bittorrent server/tracker you can suggest to build under ubuntu? thanks. | 11:28 |
| rs0832 | Jordan_U: can you make anything of the /dev/loop0? (reference to rufra's problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/543527/) | 11:28 |
| casperfoo | sgo11: never tried setting one up but I'm sure they're out there, probably even one that integrates with a website automatically | 11:28 |
| Munger | Hello. Does anyone here have any experience setting up touchscreen monitors with Ubuntu? | 11:29 |
| Jordan_U | rs0832: That's part of the liveCD environment (loop mounted squashfs file). | 11:29 |
| sgo11 | casperfoo, let's google it again. I haven't found a good one. thanks for the help. | 11:29 |
| rs0832 | Jordan_U: ok.. i had never heard of that | 11:29 |
| rufra | Jordan_U rs0832: I'll mount the drive and check I haven't made a mistake from the grub.cfg | 11:29 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way to get the number(ie 777) from a file, for its permission? | 11:30 |

| Jordan_U | Callum__: rs0832: The recommendation of the grub developers is to never instsall grub to a partition, always to the drive (mbr+embedded area). | 11:30 |

| dragonkeeper | rook seems it wont find a driver | 11:32 |
| dragonkeeper | rook it has worked before :S | 11:32 |
| rufra | rs0832: Jordan_U: Sorry UUID does match. That grub is from the previous time I installed. I assume there was a new UUIC allocated when I reinstalled and formatted. However it does say insmod ext2 when it should read insmod ext4 | 11:33 |
| rs0832 | Raymond: sorry what shows as mounted? | 11:33 |
| gabi__ | dd | 11:33 |
| Jordan_U | rufra: grub's "ext2" module handles ext2,3,4. | 11:33 |

| Callum__ | hate* | 11:34 |
| Callum__ | ugh, typoing too much, need to sleep | 11:34 |
| rs0832 | rufra: it is ok that it shows ext2 | 11:34 |

| crickj | can't help much more than that | 12:37 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, the 755 is correct thanks, but im doing the group changing, sudo chown root:root testing1.txt but it gives: chown: changing ownership of `testing1.txt': Permission denied any suggestions please? | 12:37 |
| rs0832 | rufra: you have the sudo blkid output? | 12:38 |
| engin33r | how do i make it recognize then :( | 12:38 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: how is that posible? sure your in the admin group? | 12:38 |
| rs0832 | engin33r: maybe the device needs drivers installed (happened to my phone once) | 12:38 |
| maodun | What package should I grab to get terminfo? | 12:38 |
| rufra | rs0832: heres fdisk and blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/543557 | 12:39 |
| crickj | engin33r: if you find the device file of the device (/dev/sdxx) you can try the mount command again | 12:39 |
| engin33r | rs0832: where do i go about finding the drivers? the mp3 says its conneced to the computer | 12:39 |
| wildfire100 | help? | 12:39 |
| luky1jay | hey guys, i just did a fresh install of ubuntu and now when ever I boot, when grub should appear, it doesnt.. there is just a black screen with a white bar at top | 12:39 |
| rs0832 | engin33r: they usually come on a disk with the player | 12:39 |
| crickj | if it uses the mass storage device protocol then the driver is built into the kernel | 12:39 |
| engin33r | i am pretty sure its mass storage | 12:40 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, definately, but: the directory the folder is within is a mount: //IP/testing /home/testing cifs exec would that cause an issue? | 12:40 |
| engin33r | because when i used to connect it on my windows | 12:40 |
| engin33r | there would be adirectory called "media storage" | 12:40 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, just to confirm, i was running that command as root already :/ | 12:40 |
| engin33r | mass media storage | 12:40 |
| crickj | engin33r: do you know what filesystem it uses? | 12:41 |
| luky1jay | what is the easiest way to reinstall grub for a live cd | 12:41 |
| maodun | oh, nm, it's part of ncurses-bin | 12:41 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: oh well part of it, I think since it's cifs it must be mounted from a windows computers filesystem that doesn't have users and groups | 12:41 |
| sub-zero | hy everyone... I want to install video driver on ubuntu,and give me that error Creating directory fglrx-install | 12:41 |

| Skaperen | is there any apt command or such to determine on what date a given package (not yet installed) was released? | 12:44 |

| wildfire100 | anybody help????? | 12:45 |
| johnbiker | hello | 12:46 |
| Pici | wildfire100: Your best bet for help with running software under wine would be to ask in #winehq and/or to check their appdb./ | 12:46 |
| rufra | rs0832: new grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/543561/ | 12:46 |
| wildfire100 | ok | 12:46 |
| jrib | bullgard: or you could mess with zip | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: frenas? what format are the partitions in freenas? | 12:46 |

| johnbiker | how to make the minimazes icons at right? | 12:47 |
| jrib | !controls | johnbiker | 12:47 |
| ubottu | johnbiker: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 12:47 |
| Xeross | So I did a gnome-keyring import Keyfile but the key still doesn't work | 12:47 |
| johnbiker | can anyone help me? | 12:47 |
| bullgard | jrib: I read http://www.hjsplit.org/windows/ in a hurry. I understood that this a Windows program. But my computer has Ubuntu only. | 12:47 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: did you press return or type linux ? | 12:47 |
| bullgard | s/this/this is/ | 12:48 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, its just based on freebsd, nfs i think | 12:48 |
| jrib | bullgard: hjsplit does have a linux version if you check the site, but I suggested you use "split" on linux if you read my original message | 12:48 |
| uerceg | Skaperen: just typing "linux" says: no kernel specified | 12:48 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: well in any case it's still mounted from samba so the permisions will be controlled from the settings in the samba configs | 12:48 |
| jhonnyx | how can i upgrade my kernel from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36 ? | 12:49 |
| rs0832 | rufra: your uuid;s seem to match now | 12:49 |
| wrd | uerceg: you should get grub into interactive mode then you get some kind of shell, you can boot the kernel from there then you can undo your changes on the system and reboot -> look it up in the grub manual | 12:49 |
| johnbiker | how i can move the minimize icon at left to right | 12:49 |
| johnbiker | ? | 12:49 |
| jrib | johnbiker: read what ubottu sent you | 12:49 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: the samba configs on your freenas server side | 12:49 |
| rufra | rs0832: yep. So still no closer to getting to boot. haha | 12:49 |
| uerceg | wrd: is that interactive mode sh:grub> command line? | 12:50 |
| johnbiker | ok | 12:50 |
| rs0832 | rufra: maybe try booting from sda2 | 12:50 |
| johnbiker | at terminal? | 12:50 |
| wrd | uerceg: looks like it haven't used it in years | 12:50 |
| jrib | johnbiker: if that's what ubottu's link tells you to do, sure | 12:50 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, its all the same ui think, can i find out what the numerical value of -rwxrwxrwx is? | 12:50 |
| Skaperen | wrd: grub as a manual inside its bootloader? cool! | 12:50 |
| rufra | rs0832: ok how? changing the grub to? | 12:50 |
| johnbiker | can you send me the command line | 12:50 |
| johnbiker | ? | 12:51 |
| jrib | !controls | johnbiker | 12:51 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: and also by the partition format weather it's msdos or fat32 or whatever they might use on that side | 12:51 |
| jrib | !controls > johnbiker | 12:51 |

| physically_fit | hey, anyone having trouble with the latest firefox beta update? firefox 4.0b8pre is crashing like crazy after this morning update. crashes with every add-on. running in it in safe mode to delete those addons is not helping because it crashes too. | 12:51 |
| rs0832 | rufra: but the best i can think of is a damagesd install disc | 12:51 |
| jrib | !restricted | avinash_hm | 12:51 |
| ubottu | avinash_hm: 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 | 12:51 |

| engin33r | damn it | 12:51 |
| engin33r | this sucks | 12:51 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yes in grub | 12:51 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: normally it should be able to boot the default from command line, but your change may have hosed the setup | 12:51 |
| engin33r | can anyone please help me with this | 12:51 |
| jrib | engin33r: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 12:52 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: boot from live CD and go change the grub.cfg from there | 12:52 |
| engin33r | I have a philips gogear MP3 player and I am trying to add music to it but UBUNTU wont recognize it. the mp3 player itself says that its connected to the computer but I don't see it under media, and the mount command failed too. | 12:52 |
| uerceg | Skaperen: I have just added vga=784 to the end of kernel line. and now I don't get menu on reboot, just this shell. aha, okay, I'll try with livecd. | 12:52 |
| rufra | rs0832: what should i modify the grub setting to? | 12:53 |
| engin33r | I tried lsusb and it showed a Phillips device ..so i am guessing that it is connected? | 12:53 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: I'm looking through the grub.cfg I have ... those grub people have sure made a mess of what should be a simple boot loader | 12:53 |
| === Xeross is now known as Xeross|AFK | ||
| uerceg | Skaperen: indeed, and from this grub console, I can't even boot my Ubuntu, nor edit that grub.cfg file. | 12:54 |
| Skaperen | there is no longer any names associated with bootable entries | 12:54 |
| rs0832 | rufra: set root='(hd0, msdos2) | 12:54 |
| Pici | johnbiker: ubottu has sent you the instructions on how to do what you need. The floodbot will not respond to you, as that is a bot, not a real person. | 12:54 |
| johnbiker | can anyone tell me whick command can i get my minimize.maximize and close menu at right like windows? | 12:55 |
| rufra | rs0832: kernel panic | 12:55 |
| Skaperen | if I ever build my own distro again, I won't use grub anymore | 12:55 |
| engin33r | anyone | 12:55 |
| jrib | johnbiker: I've told you twice now, why are you ignoring me? | 12:55 |
| rs0832 | rufra: do you have more than one hd? | 12:55 |
| engin33r | What is echi_hcd? | 12:55 |
| johnbiker | what is hd? | 12:55 |
| johnbiker | hard disk? | 12:55 |
| Skaperen | well, I do use grub1 (ubuntu uses grub2) for my bootable USBs | 12:55 |
| mrstocks | I want my BitchX ! | 12:56 |
| jrib | !bitchx | mrstocks | 12:56 |
| ubottu | mrstocks: bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 12:56 |
| rufra | rs0832: nope | 12:56 |
| johnbiker | what is? | 12:56 |
| mrstocks | not cool | 12:56 |
| jrib | johnbiker: concentrate on your highlights | 12:56 |
| rs0832 | rufra: o.o | 12:56 |
| engin33r | !echi_hcd | 12:56 |
| mrstocks | irssi its complicated | 12:56 |
| engin33r | what is !echi_hcd ? | 12:56 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: it used to be possible to type in all the menu entry things and it would boot ... but those are so complex now and you need to know your uuid, too | 12:56 |
| rufra | rs0832: here's the kernel panic with reovery mode on msdos1 http://yfrog.com/5rphotoaqj | 12:57 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: try typing "boot" and see if that does anything | 12:57 |
| physically_fit | mami | 12:57 |

| engin33r | aite this is not helping :( bye all ..i guess ima have to spend my day without music today | 12:57 |
| uerceg | Skaperen: nothing. | 12:58 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, if i paste something to pastebin, would you mind taking a quick look incase im missing something obvious please? | 12:58 |
| Skaperen | engin33r: oh the pain, the pain, no music, such pain | 12:58 |
| engin33r | lol shkaperen..i know :( | 12:58 |
| Skaperen | uerceg: :-( | 12:58 |

| rufra | rs0832: yep. I have netbook and 10.04. However I'm re-dl the 10.04 LTS as it wouldnt boot | 12:59 |
| jrib | johnbiker: click on this link and do what it says: http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 13:00 |
| rs0832 | rufra: can you edit the boot menu entry and tell me what root='' is set as? | 13:00 |
| bullgard | jrib: You suggested 'use "split" in linux'. Ubuntu Maverick does not provide a package "split". What "split" do you mean? | 13:00 |
| jrib | bullgard: you already have split, it's part of coreutils | 13:00 |
| rufra | rs0832: root='(hd0,msdos1)' | 13:01 |
| uerceg | ništa, sprčim vas sve. | 13:01 |
| uerceg | .i. | 13:01 |
| rs0832 | rufra: that is in the grub boot menu? | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !find split | 13:01 |

| rufra | rs0832: yep | 13:01 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: ok popcorn is done what did I miss? I see no pastebin | 13:02 |
| rufra | rs0832: well.. I think its the grub options setting thing | 13:02 |
| rs0832 | rufra: try setting it to sda1 | 13:02 |
| rufra | rs0832: kernel panic | 13:02 |
| rs0832 | rufra: did you try installing the netbook edition? | 13:03 |
| rufra | rs0832: nope, i was vain and didnt like the interface | 13:04 |
| adac | Does external software (software not installed via package manager ), even web interfaces go to /opt by default? | 13:04 |
| rs0832 | rufra: just to test | 13:04 |
| rufra | rs0832: ok shall i do that now then? | 13:04 |
| jrib | adac: it goes where you want to put it. Customary locations are /usr/local/ and /opt | 13:04 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yep | 13:04 |
| Kostek | elo all | 13:04 |
| rufra | rs0832: set new mount pts again? | 13:05 |
| adac | jrib, /usr/local seems like a nice place :) | 13:05 |
| Kostek | elo | 13:05 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yes preferably | 13:05 |
| Kostek | :D | 13:05 |
| jrib | adac: I use /usr/local/ for software with a "unixy" structure and /opt otherwise | 13:05 |

| adac | jrib, The software i want to install is twiki. | 13:06 |
| adac | jrib, guess it does not have unix style structure | 13:06 |

| johnbiker | how i get on wireless password | 13:12 |
| johnbiker | ? | 13:12 |
| rs0832 | rufra: i think its your kernel... you are trying 10.04 right? or did you try it before? | 13:13 |
| rufra | rs0832: I'm about to try 10.04 | 13:13 |
| johnbiker | how i find wireless password? | 13:13 |
| rufra | rs0832: I updated kernel earlier and that didn't solve it | 13:13 |
| Myrtti | johnbiker: ask the admin of the wireless network | 13:14 |
| rs0832 | rufra: no i think the prob is with the newer kernel :) | 13:14 |
| rufra | rs0832: is there a way of rolling back? | 13:14 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yes but you need access to synaptic or apt | 13:15 |
| rufra | can it be done from the live disk? | 13:15 |
| johnbiker | how i can install windows program on linux? | 13:15 |
| SeySayux | Can I ask Ubuntu packaging questions here or is this solely a support channel for the OS? | 13:15 |
| sacarlson | rufra: no he still has version 22 installed | 13:16 |
| sipior | SeySayux: i think that would be fine | 13:16 |
| jrib | !wine | johnbiker | 13:16 |
| ubottu | johnbiker: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 13:16 |
| Myrtti | johnbiker: install wine first | 13:16 |
| rufra | sacarlson: yes after the last install. Earlier today (prior to that install) i updated to v23 still was unable to boot | 13:16 |
| jrib | johnbiker: ideally though you should look for linux alternatives before using wine | 13:16 |
| sacarlson | rufra: yes so you can pick v22 instead it's still there | 13:17 |
| SeySayux | I want to package my program for Ubuntu. Can I just leave the debian/ subdirectory in my source tree? It says something here about making a source tarball of the source before running dh_make. | 13:17 |

| ubottu | sacarlson: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 13:17 |
| jrib | argh... | 13:17 |
| rufra | sacarlson: wait im lost. I manually upgraded to v 23 of the kernel | 13:18 |
| jrib | SeySayux: the above !packaging factoid was for you. #ubuntu-packaging and #ubuntu-motu might be better places for help with particular packaging questions | 13:18 |
| AdvoWork | sacarlson, i havent got a /etc/samba and i cant do sudo fdisk -l either :s | 13:19 |
| sacarlson | rufra: unless you deleted the other kernel the files will still be there, just change the default to boot the other, you can try and verify in grub boot to test it frirst | 13:19 |
| SeySayux | jrib: okay, I'll check it out. | 13:19 |
| rufra | sacarlson: all files were deleted (I was asked to reinstall from scratch to no success) | 13:19 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: well I'm lost I know nothing of freenas, I think the problem is on that side, I could be wrong, I have been before. | 13:20 |
| johnbiker | how i can get minimize.maximize and exit icons one the right? | 13:20 |
| jrib | johnbiker: have you read the link I told you about? | 13:20 |
| johnbiker | no help me | 13:20 |
| rufra | rs0832: any idea of how to get past the blinking underscore? | 13:20 |
| jrib | johnbiker: I can only help you if you do what I tell you to do. Can you do that? | 13:20 |
| sacarlson | rufra: ok deleted gotcha ya I guess you will have to install the package then | 13:21 |
| johnbiker | know i don't understoond | 13:21 |
| johnbiker | no* | 13:21 |
| rufra | sacarlson: yep. So the question then becomes. can I downgrade the kernel via a live disk (seeing as the comp doesn't want to boot?) | 13:21 |
| johnbiker | do you know on command for that? | 13:21 |
| rs0832 | rufra: after the boot or bios screen | 13:21 |
| rufra | rs0832: after boot | 13:22 |
| sacarlson | rufra: I'm sure you can, the question is how | 13:22 |
| jrib | johnbiker: http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side tells you to open Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and enter the command: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" | 13:22 |
| akhg | hi i have installed evolution in my ubuntu 8.04 while configuring getting error as https://inowa.nvidia.com/exchange | 13:22 |
| rs0832 | rufra: no kernel panic? | 13:22 |
| rufra | rs0832: i get the purple ubuntu screen, but it dissapears and then just the blinking underscore | 13:23 |
| rufra | rs0832: no kernel panic because live disk... | 13:23 |
| sacarlson | rufra: well if the live cd boots, then maybe just copy the two kernel files into place and your set to go already have the entry in grub | 13:23 |
| rs0832 | rufra: oh.. 10.04 right? | 13:23 |
| rufra | yep | 13:23 |

| johnbiker | can i work that program? | 13:24 |
| jrib | johnbiker: we don't support piracy here | 13:24 |
| sacarlson | rufra: if the grub entries are now gone then you will have to add an entry | 13:24 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: unfortunately the documentation for the ubuntu kernel panic error is minimum(only a definition) | 13:24 |
| rufra | rs0832: ok netbook edition here we go. at east that live disk boots | 13:24 |

| Caelum | ubuntu is very slow when running off a crappy usb stick | 13:28 |
| sacarlson | rufra: ok then we have a bootable kernel then, find out what the kernel is at the live cd boot point and copy that into a point that grub can read | 13:28 |

| Dr_Willis | johnbiker: try 'wine path/to/thge/whatever.exe' instead of double clicking on it.. or copy it to your home dir. and right click-> properties. set it to be executable | 13:28 |
| zengdelong | hh | 13:28 |
| rufra | rs0832 sacarlson: ok so how do i do that? | 13:28 |
| sacarlson | rufra: when the live cd boots do uname -a | 13:29 |
| johnbiker | which site i found commands for linux ubuntu terminal? | 13:29 |
| === dengar is now known as Guest44523 | ||
| Dr_Willis | !terminal | johnbiker | 13:29 |

| sacarlson | rufra: then copy what we see there into the correct positions on your hard disk at /boot | 13:29 |
| rs0832 | rufra: i have a possible solution | 13:30 |
| rs0832 | rufra: found it on a mailing list | 13:30 |
| sacarlson | rufra: if needed at a 40_custom entry into grub2 and grub-update | 13:30 |
| rufra | sacarlson: wait | 13:30 |
| rs0832 | rufra: exactly your error.. | 13:30 |
| rufra | rs0832: ok hit me | 13:30 |
| rs0832 | rufra: check it out - http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-users/2009-09/msg01860.html | 13:31 |

| mitnick | hola | 13:32 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: I think that is a very good idea, | 13:32 |
| sacarlson | rs08 change the uuid to /dev/sdX | 13:32 |
| johnbiker | the commad of linux dekstop it is the same with command one linux server edition? | 13:32 |
| AdvoWork | on my ubuntu server in /etc/fstab i used to do: 192.168.0.27:/mnt/Data/FILES/FILES/Postroom_Files/ /home/postroomcitylink nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr which mounted fine, ive changed freenas boxes, and its now 207(ip) so im doing exactly the same but for the new ip, but sudo mount -a shows: mount: 192.168.0.207:/mnt/Data/FILES/FILES/Postroom_Files/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied how can i find out more detail, as | 13:33 |
| AdvoWork | in what the issue is? | 13:33 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: yes.. i told him to do it earlier but i told him to just add sda1.. i guess it requires even the /dev part | 13:33 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: seems we should have seen an error like can't find file or something if uuid didn't work but I still think it might work | 13:33 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: ok im going to try rs0832's idea first. However do either of you know how to bring up the terminal in 10.10 netbook? i cant seem to find it | 13:34 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: yes it would | 13:34 |
| speedcat | hay i need some help i am trying to install neostats... but i am getting a error and i know i need to install something more... but im not sure what i need to install... http://pastebin.com/9Bn34EKK << thats what the compiler returns | 13:34 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: youre right .. did you get this - (originally got the idea from there) http://yfrog.com/5rphotoaqj | 13:34 |
| pratz | hey guys, this is what i am doing "ping 192.168.x.x" this connects but when i try to do "ping usr-desktop" this is not working, 192.168.x.x == usr-desktop, i mean to say some package to resolve local domain name to ip address?? | 13:35 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: I have had problems with uuid in the past and done this fix and it has worked | 13:35 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: see the 2nd line... yes me too | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | pratz: one way would be to edit your /etc/hosts to match the ip and hostname. but if the ips change. the file will be wrong | 13:35 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: no it's to small for me to read | 13:36 |
| bullgard | jrib: I managed to produce a zip file and another .z01 file which both are smaller than 20 MB. Let's hope that my friend can reassemble (unzip) them using Windows. -- Thank you for your help. | 13:36 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: there should be a magnifying glass below the pic | 13:36 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: ive tried sda1 method doesnt work kernel panic again | 13:36 |
| johnbiker | $ gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" | 13:36 |
| pratz | Dr_Willis: thanks dude, but i have many machines and can not manually do it on each machine, do you can any app which can do this work ?? | 13:36 |
| johnbiker | how can i get that | 13:36 |
| johnbiker | ? | 13:36 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: ok I zoomed in and that's what I would expect to see for a uuid problem not a panic | 13:37 |
| rs0832 | rufra: did you put the whole /dev/sda2? | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | pratz: that would be the work of a dns server i belive.. i only use small lans. so never needed to get into it in dept | 13:37 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: yep | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | pratz: i always conect via ip anyway - rarely hostname. smbtree, or findsmb. can list machines and ips it sees.. may be other ways | 13:37 |
| rufra | rs0832: there is no sda2 only 1 and 5.. but i tried anyway | 13:37 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: that's why I didn't think this was a uuid problem to start with, but It's much quicker to try than any other method | 13:38 |
| rs0832 | rufra: sorry.. typo... i meant /dev/sda1 | 13:38 |
| dnivra | hello. i have a suspend/hibernate problem-my system manages to suspend/hibernate properly but when i try to resume, the system restarts instead. what could possibly be wrong? it used to work fine in earlier version of ubuntu i had. just doesn't work in 10.10. i'm running 64bit. | 13:38 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson, yes.. also doesnt the kernel have to atleast start loading in order to give a kernel panic? | 13:38 |
| rufra | rs0832: yep. Wait i do this at the grub and not the grub config yea? | 13:38 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: ya something would have to run, maybe just random data caused it | 13:39 |
| pratz | Dr_Willis: yes you are correct, but i have round 25odd machines locally, so is it necessary to set up an dns server to just map ip addresses to it domain name ?? | 13:39 |
| rs0832 | rufra: its the same thing actually | 13:39 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: i was thinking, maybe separate mount points/ | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | pratz: not 100% sure. but i think somthing like a dns server will be needed. | 13:39 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: on separate partitions | 13:39 |
| rufra | rs0832: yea but i dont have a crashkernel command | 13:39 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: separate partitions of what? /boot and / root | 13:40 |
| rufra | rs0832: yep kernel panic | 13:40 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: yes because i think the kernel boots from /boot right? | 13:40 |
| === llutz_ is now known as llutz | ||
| rs0832 | sacarlson: and the error is for root... seems weird to me | 13:41 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: rufra: grub.cfg I guess | 13:41 |
| rs0832 | rufra: the crashkernel would be better disabled i guess | 13:41 |
| rufra | sacarlson, rs0832: ok, so I should boot into the live disk and then modify grub.cfg | 13:42 |
| pratz | Dr_Willis: thanks for you help, but i still think that just to map ip address to it local mahcine a dns should not be needed, there must be some script for it, if you find one then please dude | 13:42 |

| sacarlson | rs0832: rufra: problem with modify grub.cfg is when you grub-update I think it will be lost but before that it should work? | 13:43 |
| rufra | rs0832: yep. but i couldn't get a terminal. I didn't know where it was | 13:43 |
| rs0832 | rufra: i dont know if it matters, but are you on 64 or 32 bit processor? | 13:43 |
| rugwiro | hello everyone!! | 13:44 |
| red2kic | netbook = 1386? Ya? No? | 13:44 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: but isnt the grub self generating? so if i modify the .cfg, when I update wouldnt the working setting stay? | 13:44 |
| rugwiro | i have a queastion i would like to ask | 13:44 |
| red2kic | rugwiro: Ask away. | 13:44 |
| rugwiro | i have a project that says that i have to make a linux virtual platform using PHP or JAVA is there anyone who can help me? | 13:44 |
| izwan | good night everyone | 13:44 |
| rufra | rs0832: 32 bit. and the kernel is 32 bit as well | 13:45 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: yes... but it is a fresh install so grub should be generating itself | 13:45 |
| rs0832 | rufra: o.o | 13:45 |
| sacarlson | rufra: I'm not sure, but if it fails in that event then you can add an entry in th 40_custom as I have done sometime in the past | 13:45 |
| dnivra | rugwiro, this is ubuntu support channel. perhaps ##php or #java would help better. | 13:45 |

| joe_9 | tyvm | 13:47 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson: do you think using ext2 instead of ext4 would make a difference? | 13:47 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: I don't think so, see what the live cd uses if it uses ext4 then it must be good to go | 13:48 |
| dnivra | rugwiro, well there's Red Hat family and Debian family. you should read about it. this might help http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major. | 13:48 |

| rs0832 | sacarlson: maybe if he overwrites the kernel on the hd with the one on the live cd? do you think it would work? | 14:14 |
| sacarlson | rs0832: yes that's what I suggested | 14:14 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: wait! shouldnt it read i386! | 14:14 |

| ben_ | where are u? | 14:15 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson, rufra, if you are sure your processor is 32 bit then yes | 14:15 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: i just thought that might indicate that its the 64 bit (maybe a mistake on my part?) | 14:15 |
| === DJ is now known as Guest24051 | ||
| rufra | rs0832 sacarlson: yes its an intel atom.. fairly certain that's 32 bit only | 14:16 |
| cdbs | rufra: its fine, i686 is a subset of i386, barely any difference on modern CPUs | 14:16 |
| sacarlson | rufra: rs0832: if this system was a 32bit machine and you did try to install a 64bit kernel that would cause a panic | 14:16 |
| dnivra | rufra, if it's 64 bit, it'll show x86_64. | 14:16 |
| rufra | cdbs: thanks... thought it might have been a mistake | 14:16 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra cdbs: as it has been pointed out by these gentlemen it is a 32 bit | 14:17 |

| rs0832 | rufra: use the file browser to go there | 14:23 |
| sacarlson | rufra: oh it's not running x server? | 14:23 |
| dnivra | rufra, try 'ls -l /boot/grub/grub/cfg'. the file has read permissions only by default. | 14:23 |
| sacarlson | rufra: so you need to edit with a none X server app like vi | 14:23 |
| rufra | dnivra: yep i tried in the file browser we're trying to edit it thought | 14:23 |
| sacarlson | rufra: or nano | 14:24 |

| rs0832 | Myrtti: just trying quick edits for solutions | 14:26 |
| sacarlson | Myrtti: we wondered about that | 14:27 |
| rs0832 | Myrtti: apparently the uuid and /dev/sdxy is not being recognized | 14:27 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: yeah im in vi, ive got the grub, now what do i change? | 14:27 |
| sacarlson | Myrtti: I more back in the grub legacy time zone | 14:27 |
| rs0832 | rufra: there is a uuid for root=''? | 14:28 |
| rs0832 | rufra: there is a uuid for set root='' ? | 14:28 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: it gives as we saw before. so change it to /dev/sda1? | 14:28 |
| rs0832 | rufra: yes | 14:29 |
| pucko- | what are the real advantages of grub2 compared to legacy grub? the new version just seem overly complex to me | 14:29 |
| dnivra | pucko-, new version removes a password reset exploit i know in grub and well you can boot iso's direct in grub2 too i believe. | 14:29 |
| sacarlson | Myrtti: oh for /etc/default/grub to work don't you need to grub-update? | 14:30 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: er... cant edit | 14:30 |
| pucko- | anyone actually tried booting an iso from grub2 in ubuntu? | 14:31 |
| rs0832 | rufra: did you sudo vi? | 14:31 |
| sacarlson | pucko-: well the most important improvment is that no mater where the disk is physicaly it will be located and booted hopefully properly | 14:31 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: yep... sudo vi grub.cfg (ive chroot and cd) | 14:31 |
| sacarlson | rufra: can't edit with vi? | 14:32 |
| pucko- | sacarlson, oh.. how do you mean? | 14:32 |
| dnivra | rufra, did you check permissions on the file? by default, grub.cfg only has read permissions for all groups! | 14:32 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832: well i may be but its just i've never edited something in terminal | 14:32 |
| Jordan_U | pucko-: More reliability and flexability, internationalization including non latin characters like chinese and left to right ones like hebrew. A real upstream (grub legacy hasn't had an upstream for over 5 years). And a more clear system for configuring update-grub. | 14:32 |
| histo | Why would you want to boot a cd in grub anyways? Why not just actually boot the cd. | 14:32 |
| sacarlson | pucko-: well like you could move a hd from sda1 to sdb1 and no matter if you had 100 hd installed it would boot normaly in any position | 14:33 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: how do I check permissions? | 14:33 |
| ArBuz2o0o | Siemka | 14:33 |
| pucko- | Jordan_U, it's definately not clearer for non programmers I would say | 14:33 |
| sacarlson | rufra: ls -l | 14:33 |
| dnivra | rufra, i asked you to do that already :). 'ls -l grub.cfg'. | 14:33 |
| pucko- | sacarlson, really? how does it do that? | 14:33 |
| shingen | histo: because you can boot from isos too | 14:33 |
| ArBuz2o0o | If anybady here have got account on demotywatory.pl please vote for me in competition. www.demotywatory.pl/user/ArBuz2o0o thanks from mountain ;) | 14:34 |
| Jordan_U | pucko-: I would bet that you don't actually know the drawbacks of update-grub in grub legacy. Did you know for instance that editing a menu entry manually in your menu.lst will break update-grub? | 14:34 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: sorry.... i get the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543617 | 14:35 |
| pucko- | Jordan_U, yes, but isn't that a problem in new grub as well? | 14:35 |
| sacarlson | pucko-: each disk partition now has a unique id number when it is created so it just searches to see were every thing is located and mounts it all were it belongs | 14:35 |
| dnivra | rufra, there you go-it has read permission only. run 'sudo chmod 644 grub.cfg' and then you should be able to edit as root. do change the permissions back using 'chmod 444 grub.cfg' once you're done. | 14:35 |
| pucko- | sacarlson, pretty sure that uuid stuff was there in legacy as well | 14:36 |
| sacarlson | rufra: well if sudo vi don't edit it then it must be mounted as read only try give us mount | 14:36 |
| Jordan_U | pucko-: Yes, but in grub2 it's explicit. The grub.cfg is read only, and configuration options for update-grub go in a separate file, /etc/default/grub, rather than being in comments-that-aren't-actually-comments like in the menu.lst with grub legacy. | 14:36 |
| sacarlson | pucko-: oh if that's the case then I'm not sure what is different | 14:37 |
| efaydian | anyone know a easy way to change your login screen? | 14:37 |
| dnivra | sacarlson, no need for all that. all that's needed is to change the permission using the command i gave ^^. | 14:37 |
| rufra | dnivra sacarlson rs0832: i get unable to resolve host when chmod | 14:37 |
| rs0832 | rufra: what command did you use exactly? | 14:38 |
| Jordan_U | pucko-: It was common for users in grub legacy to not be able to boot after a major version upgrade because they thought that they could edit menu entries directly. | 14:38 |
| sacarlson | dnivra: rufra: he's right even root can't edit it with those settings change them to 777 or something | 14:38 |
| rufra | dnivra sacarlson rs0832: output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543620 | 14:38 |
| dnivra | sacarlson, not 777!!! 644 will do :). | 14:39 |
| pucko- | Jordan_U, my 10_linux entry is 157 lines long. :-( | 14:39 |
| godslam | If I'm using 10.10 server and I want to boot into an old kernel, how would that be done? | 14:39 |
| dnivra | rufra, try doing that without sudo since you are already root. | 14:39 |
| shingen | silly question, but why does icons / widgets on the top and bottom panel get moved around when changing the resolution and/or rebooting? really annoying on laptops when docking / undocking | 14:39 |
| sacarlson | dnivra: agreed 644 is fine rufra | 14:39 |
| Jordan_U | pucko-: Remove your old kernel packages. | 14:39 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: ok got it to change to 664 | 14:40 |
| sacarlson | rufra: it should be editable now with sudo vi | 14:40 |
| rufra | now i mean 644 | 14:40 |
| dnivra | rufra, do remember to change it back to 444 okay? | 14:40 |
| Psychedelic_Appl | Olá. | 14:40 |
| rufra | osacarlson rs0832 dnivra: will change back at end, made a note of it | 14:40 |

| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: getting this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543621 | 14:41 |
| pucko- | Jordan_U, I have. I'm just saying. that's not something you write from scratch. I'm sure it's cleaner and prettier and whatever, but it's way to complex compared to the old stuff. | 14:41 |

| sacarlson | Jordan_U: because it can't boot the system after install to the hd, it gets a kernel panic after install | 14:41 |
| shingen | chmod u+w is much easier to remember and you don't have to worry about the other bits either... :) | 14:42 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra Jordan_U: Ok. I think its time we al organised together what it is I'm meant to be doing | 14:42 |
| rs0832 | rufra: did you close vi the first time? | 14:42 |
| Jordan_U | pucko-: I would disagree, but that's a matter of opinion. | 14:42 |
| nirazio | !info empathy | 14:42 |
| sacarlson | Jordan_U: so the plan was to try /dev/sdX instead of uuid | 14:42 |

| nicofs | I want to install ubuntu on an ARM-Device (Toshiba AC100). I've managed to get a kernel that supports it, but it's nothing but the kernel as *.tgz, When I boot from it, all i get is a console. How do i add the ubuntu installer to it? | 14:42 |
| dnivra | rufra, delete the file as the error says. | 14:42 |
| madnick | m having problems with the 3d effect of my video card(i guess) who can help me | 14:42 |
| dnivra | rufra, or run 'vi -r grub.cfg'. | 14:43 |
| godslam | If I can connect to a server through SSH, but it's unable to get updates, what does that mean? | 14:43 |
| sacarlson | Jordan_U: but we have also now learned that the live cd that works uses an older version of the kernel at boot, so that may be a point to try soon if this fails | 14:43 |
| rs0832 | rufra: delete the swap file .. killing it must have left the file | 14:43 |
| bl01zk | Is it better to program in C in Linux or Windows? | 14:43 |
| dnivra | rufra, what you need to do is said in the error :). | 14:43 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: ok | 14:44 |
| rs0832 | bl01zk: our opinion is it is better to do anything in linux... windows is just easier ;) | 14:44 |
| nirazio | Is it possible to install Empathy 2.32 in lucid?? | 14:44 |
| buggyer | what do have to do if i want to have a script (only some commands line by line) have a return value of 0 (zero)? | 14:44 |
| rs0832 | nirazio: i should think so.. can you find it from synaptic? | 14:44 |
| dnivra | nirazio, lucid has it's own version of empathy. why not use that? | 14:44 |
| madnick | m having problems with the 3d effect of my video card(i guess) who can help me | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | buggyer: use exit 0 as the last command perhaps? | 14:45 |
| shingen | madnick: what video card? | 14:45 |
| dnivra | buggyer, a return value 0 indicates success usually. | 14:45 |
| bl01zk | rs0832 but like if i wanna run a program to a windows 7 would i have to recompile it in windows? or can i get it to be a .exe in Linux? | 14:45 |
| buggyer | Dr_Willis thanks, that could help me a lot :) im not into bash and stuff, but im going to :) | 14:45 |
| madnick | 8800gt | 14:45 |
| shingen | silly question, but why does icons / widgets on the top and bottom panel get moved around when changing the resolution and/or rebooting? really annoying on laptops when docking / undocking | 14:45 |
| rs0832 | madnick: try being more specific like errors or something | 14:46 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: ok so how do i delete in vi? | 14:46 |
| dnivra | rufra, just type in ":recover" and press enter. that should do it i guess. | 14:46 |
| nirazio | dnivra: The thing is that, I'm really interested on using empathy 2.32, since it fixes a lot of bugs. | 14:46 |
| rs0832 | bl01zk: i think you are talking about cross compiling (someone correct me if i am wrong) but it is more advisable to recompile | 14:46 |
| madnick | whenever i m trying anything that has 3d effect on the os like desktop cube or alt tab or running a game with wine the pc crashes and needs a manual restart | 14:47 |
| sacarlson | rufra: I forget the command that writes over but you can save to another name and mv it after exit | 14:47 |
| dnivra | nirazio, you can download the source and then compile it then. that'd best instead of using another version's packages. | 14:47 |
| bl01zk | rs0832: okay so if i write in in Linux will it compile perfectly fine in Windows?? | 14:47 |
| dnivra | bl01zk, that depends on the compiler you choose-write for gcc and compile in turboC doesn't mean success. | 14:48 |
| nirazio | dnivra: But why not it's not getting upgraded to 2.32?? | 14:48 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: ok so the grub is going to let me boot yes? | 14:48 |
| rs0832 | bl01zk: well.. there are some features you can add to your program that may make it incompatible with windows | 14:48 |
| dnivra | bl01zk, not always-there can be issues. | 14:48 |
| sacarlson | rufra: the :w filename is what you can use to change the name temporary until you can mv it | 14:48 |
| Dcite | bl01zk: It'll only compile if the libraries used exist on both windows and linux. More likely you'll have to set custom DEFINEs to use different libraries with similar functions between systems | 14:48 |
| bl01zk | okay thank you everyone for the help :) | 14:48 |
| rs0832 | bl01zk: also depends... some compilers dont work exactly like others | 14:49 |
| dnivra | nirazio, well it is updated in the latest version on ubuntu. i guess they didn't backport it :). | 14:49 |
| Pici | !latest | nirazio | 14:49 |
| ubottu | nirazio: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 14:49 |
| Dcite | bl01zk: As for while developing..more linux users probably have a compiler than windows users :) | 14:49 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: i think i messed up the grub... I changed permissions back and rebooting | 14:49 |
| nirazio | dnivra: Alright from where i can get the source?? | 14:50 |
| efaydian | anyone familiar with editing .desktop files to change your LoginWindow? | 14:50 |

| sacarlson | rufra: ok well no harm done then | 14:50 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: lets get back to what the problem is... i cant boot after install (not even recovery mode) | 14:50 |
| madnick | whenever i m trying anything that has 3d effect on the os like desktop cube or alt tab or running a game with wine the pc crashes and needs a manual restart | 14:51 |
| rufra | sacarlson rs0832 dnivra: kernel panic as usual | 14:51 |
| sacarlson | rufra: and now we know that a working version of the kernel is 22 as seen in live cd boot | 14:51 |
| rs0832 | sacarlson, dnivra: is it possible for him to overwrite the installed kernel with the livecd one? | 14:51 |

| dreams | i cant install ubuntu on my localdisks on my win7.its coming an error when i enter the middle of the installation | 14:52 |
| rs0832 | rufra: i think you should try overwriting the kernel with the live cd one | 14:52 |
| dnivra | rs0832, sacarlson rufra i think an easier thing would be to install a new kernel and run 'update-grub2'? that should detect the new kernel i guess. | 14:52 |

| sacarlson | rs0832: at this point it maybe easier to change the name temporarily of the kernel and just position it in the correct location since it seems it was so hard to edit, I think it was also a mistake to chroot in that last attempt | 14:53 |

| Etherael | dajhorn: the generic kernel randomly dumps ath9k wlans and does not pick them back up without a reboot. | 15:38 |
| soreau | saliak: Yea so if DISPLAY is not set (it isnt set by default in ssh terminal) then you will need to set it. Otherwise just run some_video_player /path/to/video.ext | 15:39 |
| dajhorn | Etherael: Try your luck with maverick-proposed. 2.6.35-24-generic is current. | 15:39 |

| dajhorn | Etherael: maverick-proposed is eventually rolled into maverick-updates. Try not to strand yourself. Doing upstream installs for things like fglrx and nvidia-current tends can sometimes leave turds in the system that cause problems later. | 15:41 |

| Kyle__ | mouka: Generally if Ubuntu has support for the driver that controlls that, it's automatic. Since it's obvious not this time, you may have to look up your specific model, see if there's a driver package to install. | 16:03 |

| numberto | Hello everybody. Can somebody direct me to an IRC where I can discuss chromium working in ubuntu | 16:45 |
| numberto | thanks in advance | 16:45 |
| edbian | skullboy, What did you do that cause this? Do you know? | 16:45 |
| histo | numberto: you could try and get ahold of the maintainer | 16:45 |
| error_203 | no help :( | 16:45 |

| mikeg3 | I can seem to get Ubuntu 10.10 to update this latest time. Tried sudo apt-get update also. Updates seem downloaded but not installed | 16:46 |

| name5 | SORRY | 16:47 |
| Roasted_ | Has there been any reports of newer Ubuntu kernels messing up Intel wireless? I just booted up 10.04 on my laptop and the wireless came back as disabled, yet I had it enabled on the hardware radio switch on the laptop. Booted to the oldest kernel with 10.04 and it worked. Just curious if anybody knows offhand if there were any widespread issues I should be aware of. | 16:47 |
| name5 | kANN ich fragen? | 16:47 |
| rm_work | sudipta: i don't think it's a public beta :( was just saying, I remember from their forums something about a beta... anyway, from their FAQ, they even state "Linux users can run µTorrent with the latest version of Wine." which I can verify works fine | 16:47 |

| numberto | i donwnloaded chrome latest version today from google's official website. The problem is that it crashes my whole system when I open saved pages with it | 16:47 |
| edbian | skullboy, Obviously something is like majorly wrong. Without apt-get it is extremely difficult to fix the system because that is the utility to install and remove software. I suggest just clean installing. You can use the live CD to grab your data and put it on a second HDD, or a usb flash drive, or on another partition on your hdd or something. | 16:47 |

| edbian | skullboy, Now, as to why things are missing. Perhaps something is wrong with your hardware. I suspect the HDD is going since so many things are missing but it's also possibly bad ram (because of the seg faults) | 16:48 |

| edbian | bidaboy, Umm, I've never tried it. Now that I think about it, that will probably freak out the package manager. | 16:56 |

| edbian | afroman, It probably doesn't have an IP address anymore since it's looking for a DHCP server to give it one. Got a reset button? | 17:02 |
| Some_One | resno, yes its showing connected.. 100% signal strength | 17:02 |
| afroman | edbian: yes | 17:02 |
| gogeta1 | numberto: you need the alt cd and it cn upgrade from cd then | 17:02 |
| resno | Some_One: try doing ifconfig. | 17:02 |
| gogeta1 | can | 17:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | numberto, you can somehow use the alternative cd (not the livecd) to upgrade with (i've never done it) | 17:02 |
| edbian | afroman, Use it man | 17:03 |
| Some_One | renso i am a noob :/ kindly tell me the procedure .. i have selected DHCP (automatic) | 17:03 |

| afroman | edbian: but I thought to keep it as an access point would be better, is it? | 17:03 |
| gogeta1 | ZykoticK9: i beleve its just a mater of inserting it and it says upgrade cd found | 17:03 |
| bastidrazor | i thought the alternate upgrade route was only possible if installed from an alternate cd to begin with. | 17:03 |
| edbian | afroman, access point allows you to have multiple wireless routers where some of them (the access points) just repeat the signal instead of dolling out IP addresses and such | 17:03 |

| edbian | afroman, Do you know what DHCP is? | 17:05 |
| resno | Some_One: type ifconfig and press enter | 17:05 |
| Some_One | yes done resno | 17:05 |
| Quantum_Ion | Not really in a rush to upgrade unless the distro is LTS long term stable | 17:06 |
| afroman | edbian: yes | 17:06 |
| edbian | afroman, Then what don't you get? | 17:06 |
| FloridaGuy | Pici, i just did your sugestion | 17:06 |
| resno | Some_One: do you have an ip address? | 17:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | Quantum_Ion, i think you have to wait until 12.04 for the next LTS (not sure) | 17:06 |
| hplc | in a clean basic install, is there any reason why PSAD (portscan attack detector" would claim the ubuntu box is conducting scans? | 17:06 |

| scorch | got a wierd problem, just started happening. ubuntu 10.10, computer button top right corner does not come up with a list of options anymore (restart, shutdown, etc) | 17:07 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: ubuntu has a firewall maybe its scaning | 17:08 |
| rm_work | usually LTS is just recommended when it needs to be used in business/stable environment... for home use, you probably WANT to upgrade every 6 months / year :P | 17:08 |
| kuroi_ | hello, my bars have dessapear | 17:08 |
| afroman | edbian: I thought by changing to access point I make the router into a dhcp and would appoint an ip | 17:08 |
| kuroi_ | how can i configure them back? | 17:08 |
| bastidrazor | !panels | kuroi_ | 17:08 |
| ubottu | kuroi_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 17:08 |
| rm_work | I know I do, but I may be strange... when I ran gentoo, i did this once/day at least: emerge -uv world | 17:08 |
| gogeta1 | rm_work: not relly lts is for home to. | 17:09 |
| edbian | afroman, No, normally the router does DHCP for you (it is a DHCP server). If you have more than one DHCP server than they will confuse one another. You need to have one and only one. By changing to access point you turn dhcp off and it will no longer appoint IPs | 17:09 |
| scorch | got a wierd problem, just started happening. ubuntu 10.10, computer button top right corner does not come up with a list of options anymore (restart, shutdown, etc). And my username next to it does the same thing. | 17:09 |
| kuroi_ | ok, but first, i don't know how to get a terminal | 17:09 |
| rm_work | the only people that *really* seem to support LTS is Canonical for their enterprise support, and that package updates and backports generally continue more reliably | 17:09 |
| afroman | edbian: I mean more like relay ip from my isp so that my pc would be able to have a direct ip to the internet | 17:09 |
| gogeta1 | rm_work: gentoo and arch use a rolling relese style meaning the distro is always the latest ver | 17:09 |
| scorch | how do i restart computer in terminal | 17:09 |
| bastidrazor | scorch: sudo reboot now | 17:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | with 10.10 it will take a while before they work out all the bugs people will complain and issue complaints about things not working right on 10.10 and Ubuntu people will have to fix that stuff | 17:10 |
| rm_work | gogeta1: i know :P | 17:10 |
| resno | scorch: sudo reboot | 17:10 |
| scorch | k | 17:10 |
| scorch | hopefully it will correct itself | 17:10 |
| edbian | afroman, If you want that just remove the router from the whole situation. Plug the modem right into the computer. | 17:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | as root you can do init 6 and it will reboot your system too from the command line | 17:10 |
| gogeta1 | afroman: if you lock yourself out of your roughter you might have to factury reset it | 17:11 |
| edbian | gogeta1, He already did | 17:11 |
| afroman | edbian: but I want a wireless connection | 17:11 |
| edbian | afroman, Than I don't believe it's possible. | 17:11 |
| rm_work | gogeta1: my point was just that it if you come HERE looking for help, very few people really go out of their way to go back two or three versions to help you, because most of us are power users and are running latest release :) | 17:11 |
| afroman | right now it is working fine | 17:11 |
| numberto | scorch: Try this: press Alt + SysRq and then with intervals of 1-2 seconds press R, E, I, S, U, B buttons | 17:11 |
| scorch | k | 17:12 |
| afroman | edbian: right now it is possible and working fine | 17:12 |
| Quantum_Ion | afroman, make sure you have an RJ-45 cable and attach it to your router and your compter so you can download the wifi drivers for ubuntu linux | 17:12 |
| hplc | damn im confused, even if the UFW firewall were to conduct scans, why would localhost scan localhost over and over? from logs: "127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.1 udp: [53] udp" | 17:12 |
| edbian | afroman, You can however, forward the ports you want to your machine. That way you can send something to your public address and it will go to your personal machine as if you had a public IP for that port. | 17:12 |
| edbian | afroman, You have a public IP address? | 17:12 |
| sam---___---- | afroman, try googling for dmz | 17:12 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: dunno see what on port 53 | 17:12 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: probly lead to a answer | 17:13 |
| Pici | hplc: 53 is dns iirc | 17:13 |
| afroman | edbian: yes | 17:13 |
| Bilz | hello | 17:13 |
| hplc | bind running on 53 to quicken name resolution | 17:13 |
| edbian | afroman, Perhaps I am wrong and it is possible! I have no idea what the routers IP might be. I presume it doesn't have one. Since that would lead to an address conflict. | 17:13 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: there you go | 17:13 |
| Jemt | Hello. I'm automating the Ubuntu installation using preseeds. How do I figure out the names of each item in the d-i installer, in order to pass values to them ? | 17:13 |
| Bilz | can anyone help me. im trying to figure out how to rearrange the items in the top right panel, the order is annoying me and it randomly changes it alot | 17:13 |
| edbian | afroman, Either that or you have more than 1 public IP (i.e. more than one subscribtion to internet service) | 17:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, routers require an IP address... | 17:13 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: so your dns naturly scans looking for a ip to get | 17:14 |
| mrk_ | has anybody experienced complete failure of panels in the distro dvd installation of Ubuntu 10.4? | 17:14 |
| Jemt | Some guys was kind enough to suggest Remaster-sys, but that's not what I want :) | 17:14 |
| Jemt | guy* | 17:14 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: or sending hartbeats | 17:14 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: wait i was ting dhcp dns is your your host name resuklv on the net | 17:14 |
| edbian | ZykoticK9, He put it in access point mode. This way he gets the public IP directly sent to his machine. What the heck is the IP of the router in this case? It'd have to be a public IP because there is no device 'routing' anymore | 17:14 |
| Quantum_Ion | Bilz, Go to the middle of the panel and right click and select properties | 17:14 |
| Bilz | Quantum_Ion, yeah | 17:15 |
| xuodin | mrk_@try downloading another distro | 17:15 |
| Quantum_Ion | BilZ Play around with those settings | 17:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, "access point mode" makes sense to me for wireless, but nothing else... sorry i have no idea. Not a setup I've ever tried (seems counter productive in my opinion) | 17:15 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: in other words not a thret | 17:15 |
| Bilz | Quantum_Ion, i have with no luck | 17:16 |
| edbian | ZykoticK9, YEah this is for wireless | 17:16 |
| hplc | cant use dhcp client anymore, had to go manually set IP, at bout same time these "src: 127.0.0.1 signature match: "BACKDOOR DoomJuice file upload attempt" shoved up in logs | 17:16 |
| mrk_ | xuodin, i hve used a dvd from linux shop..is it a known problem? | 17:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, access point in wireless typically rely on having a DHCP server elsewhere in the network! | 17:16 |
| edbian | afroman, You are ware of the security implications of having a public IP with no firewall? | 17:16 |
| xuodin | mrk_haven`t heard about it before | 17:16 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: i think your brogram is giving false ifo | 17:16 |
| gogeta1 | program | 17:16 |
| mikeg3 | I can seem to get Ubuntu 10.10 to update this latest time. Tried sudo apt-get update also. Updates seem downloaded but not installed. Can anyone please help? | 17:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | gogeta1, bro-gram i like that ;) | 17:17 |
| edbian | mikeg3, apt-get update downloads them, apt-get safe-upgrade installs them :) | 17:17 |
| edbian | mikeg3, Very perceptive BTW | 17:17 |
| xuodin | mrk_@try downloading you own version and burn it | 17:17 |
| afroman | edbian: the router has a firewall, so is ubuntu | 17:17 |
| xuodin | mrk_@think that should solve it | 17:18 |
| kuroi_ | my bars dissapear and i don't know how to open a terminal without the bars | 17:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | mikeg3, actually "sudo apt-get updage && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" would be normal - i think safe-upgrade is only available with aptitude | 17:18 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: you relise thats a windows worm maybe your windows box is infected | 17:18 |
| Quantum_Ion | Bilz, You have to play around with Ubuntu Linux Gnome Panel Settings in order to get things the way you want them | 17:18 |
| edbian | afroman, But if you give your machine a public IP I don't believe the router is firewalling anymore. Ubuntu does have a firewall but I think it is fully open by default | 17:18 |
| mikeg3 | thanks, please excuse my newbieness! | 17:18 |
| xuodin | kuroi_alt+f2 | 17:18 |
| === sam---___---- is now known as sam-_- | ||
| Bilz | Quantum_Ion, turns out you have to remove the lock on them then right click and click move | 17:18 |
| edbian | mikeg3, no worries :) | 17:18 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: it woud have no effect on linux | 17:18 |
| xuodin | kuroi_@gnome terminal | 17:19 |
| Quantum_Ion | Bilz, Yes you have to play around with those settings a bit | 17:19 |
| hplc | thats my best guess as well, there IS a windows machine running in same subnet yes | 17:19 |
| afroman | edbian: U kidding me... | 17:19 |
| mrk_ | xuodin, i'll have to, shame really..the ubuntu 9.4 works like a dream...but when i updated to 10.4 on line, I had the same problem, so I don't think downloading another version will make a difference. | 17:19 |
| edbian | afroman, Nope | 17:19 |
| kuroi_ | <xuodin> nothing happens with alt f2 | 17:19 |
| mikeg3 | I will try aptitude, I think apt-get is deprecated anyway | 17:19 |
| mrockSolid | is there a way in ubuntu to deploy and quick install a pre-defined set of commonly used softwares? | 17:20 |
| edbian | afroman, sudo iptables -L (see any rules?) | 17:20 |
| mrk_ | xuodin, , i mean upgraded | 17:20 |
| edbian | mikeg3, It's not deprecated, it is older and does less. They both work fine | 17:20 |
| edbian | mikeg3, aptitude is 'smarter' | 17:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | mikeg3, actually you have it backwards - ubuntu has dropped aptitude from 10.10 by default | 17:20 |
| hplc | but why a win-worm would claim to originate from 127.0.0.1 beats me, leaning towards false positive | 17:20 |
| afroman | edbian: I have used ubuntu wired to the internet for a year without a firewall? | 17:20 |
| mrk_ | xuodin, which is why i bought the dvd! | 17:20 |
| cyclist_2 | Hello, there! I installed Google-Earth 6.0 sucessfully [...?] but when I try to launch it nothing happens; any opinions, please...? | 17:20 |
| tczf | are you use ubuntu? | 17:21 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: thats a local ip same meaning as localhost | 17:21 |
| edbian | afroman, Well your router was a firewall. But it's not a HUGE deal. Ubuntu is generally more secure than windows anyway. | 17:21 |
| sam-_- | afroman, why would you need a firewall? | 17:21 |
| edbian | afroman, see? ^ | 17:21 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: so both machine would use that ip | 17:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | I noticed on Ubuntu whenever you upgrade your .bashrc file gets overwritten | 17:21 |
| xuodin | mrk_@i believe you, but, try downloading it | 17:21 |
| edbian | afroman, Plus your router was a firewall until you switched it to access point mode | 17:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | cyclist_2, open a terminal and try running "googleearth" see if you get an error message | 17:21 |
| afroman | edbian: the wireless router is new | 17:21 |
| telmessos | hi all. anyone experienced about "Playonlinux" ?????? | 17:22 |
| xuodin | mrk_@don`t upgrade it | 17:22 |
| mrk_ | xuodin, i will, glad you follow me! | 17:22 |
| afroman | that's why I said "wired" | 17:22 |
| edbian | afroman, haha, nice | 17:22 |
| hplc | another machine in same subnet surely cant ID itself as 127.0.0.1??? thats the loopback for THIS machine exclusively...right? | 17:22 |
| xuodin | mrk_@no problem m8 | 17:22 |
| edbian | hplc, correct | 17:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | cyclist_2, these are the steps i had to use to successfully install GE http://paste.ubuntu.com/543704/ | 17:22 |
| edbian | hplc, Well I suppose it could call itself that but it shouldn't because it messes things up royally | 17:22 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: well if that machine is running the softwhere then it would be localhost correct | 17:22 |
| afroman | sam-_-: no need for firewall? would U promise me that U don't have a firewall urself? :P | 17:23 |
| sam-_- | afroman, i promise :-) | 17:23 |
| gogeta1 | hplc: yea leaning fals postiv | 17:23 |
| edbian | afroman, I don't have a firewall right now but it is out of laziness | 17:23 |
| pegleg | anyone else having problems with pandora? | 17:23 |
| xuodin | kuroi_@try pressing alt+f2 and you should get "open new program" menu, then type in "gnome-terminal" | 17:23 |
| cyclist_2 | ZykoticK9: I get 'command not found'; there is an icon on the Applications Menu, but it is of no use; there is a Desktop icon [executable] but it also does nothing... | 17:23 |
| sam-_- | afroman, a think of a firewall not as some sort of protection but as a filter | 17:24 |
| edbian | sam-_-, Well it's both | 17:24 |
| telmessos | hi all. anyone experienced about "Playonlinux" ? | 17:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | cyclist_2, ? i don't know man - perhaps try following the steps in my pastebin? good luck man. | 17:24 |
| edbian | pegleg, works for me | 17:24 |
| cyclist_2 | ZykoticK9: ok; I will read it now | 17:24 |
| afroman | sam-_-: edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543705/ | 17:24 |
| sam-_- | edbian, it adds protection by filtering not vice versa | 17:24 |
| edbian | afroman, It's open | 17:24 |
| edbian | sam-_-, agreed | 17:25 |
| sam-_- | edbian, it doesn't protect against exploits in applications | 17:25 |
| edbian | sam-_-, except that it potentially keeps people from accessing the exploits in the first place | 17:25 |
| telmessos | I am trying to install "Football Manager 2010" to playonlinux but the Wine version 1.1.44 which playonlinux tries to install with has issues with the mouse. I want to install it with Wine 1.1.41. Anyone can help me pls???? | 17:26 |
| sam-_- | afroman, keeping ubuntu "secure" is relatively easy. just install software from known sources and keep your system up to date | 17:26 |
| afroman | sam-_-: well, it filters, never the less I think I would feel safer with 1 :P | 17:26 |
| sam-_- | afroman, that is all | 17:26 |
| edbian | sam-_-, afroman agreed | 17:26 |
| kuroi_ | xuodin i'm chatting in another pc | 17:26 |

| ZykoticK9 | philinux, incorrect - no default firewall in ubuntu | 17:28 |
| afroman | edbian: sam-_-: what if I have 2 firewalls...? one from the router and Ubuntu. wouldn't that make surfing slower? | 17:28 |
| edbian | afroman, nope | 17:28 |
| sam-_- | afroman, yes but you won't feel it... | 17:28 |
| edbian | afroman, Maybe by a microsecond or two (so first you can't even perceive it) | 17:28 |

| * dannyLopez se despide | 17:33 | |
| edbian | afroman, Your router gets the public (dynamic) ip address. Your router gives pretend ones to the computer in your network. That idea is what allows you to have multiple computers with only one internet subscription | 17:34 |
| duckx0r | How would i go about debugging why this USB keyboard I have works in the BIOS, but doesn't work when GRUB loads and also this USB mouse is not working when the login screen comes up? I have tried on multiple *buntu installs on various computers and they don't work on any. | 17:34 |
| xuodin | kuroi_@set the file preferances to open in terminal | 17:34 |
| edbian | afroman, The IP address that points to your router from the Internet can change. The IP addresses inside your network (inside your home) can be static or dynamic and have nothing to do with the public IP for the router. | 17:34 |
| xuodin | kuroi_@that should work | 17:34 |

| duckx0r | rcm, have you tried to start in safe mode? | 17:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | sam-_-, "apt-cache policy iptables" does show it as installed (and I'm assuming that's from default install), but it's certainly NOT enabled in anyway by default. | 17:39 |
| sam-_- | telmessos, what about my pm? did you read it? | 17:39 |
| edbian | afroman, Trust me, you have 1 public IP. The rest are internal network IPs. If I type in the IP address of any of those I will not go to that computer. I can only send packets to your house by sending them to your public IP. Then your router gets them and decides what to do with them. | 17:40 |

| skirmantas | stefanoUbuntu20, do you ask for MS Windows GUI libraries, because "windows" doesn't have to be ms. | 17:41 |
| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, Yes but there is more than one. Primarily there is gtk (used by gnome) and qt (used by kde) but there are several others. | 17:41 |
| rm_work | stefanoUbuntu20: are you just looking for a graphical toolkit? like, Qt or GTK? | 17:41 |
| undecim | stefanoUbuntu20: There is the GTK and Qt libraries | 17:41 |

| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, They all do that. | 17:42 |
| rm_work | wxWindows | 17:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | stefanoUbuntu20, Yes, You can use the Qt SDK http://qt.nokia.com/ | 17:42 |
| rm_work | or Tcl/TK | 17:42 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | ok, also one other thing, i saw many developers use C on linux, why C and not C++? | 17:43 |
| tsimpson | stefanoUbuntu20: there are several toolkits, #ubuntu-app-devel would be the appropriate place to discuss it | 17:43 |
| rusivi | stefanoUbuntu20: Mono is Windows implementation of .NET for Linux -> http://www.mono-project.com/ | 17:43 |
| undecim | stefanoUbuntu20, That's what GTK does. Makes windows. The chat program you are using probably uses it (empathy, pidgin, and xchat I believe all use GTK) | 17:43 |
| cjdevlin | xuodin: np. | 17:43 |

| Quantum_Ion | stefanoUbuntu20, For cross compilation use Qt SDK http://qt.nokia.com/ | 17:43 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | thanks guys, i'll get GTK | 17:43 |
| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, Are you running Ubuntu? | 17:43 |
| duckx0r | How would i go about debugging why this USB keyboard I have works in the BIOS, but doesn't work when GRUB loads and also this USB mouse is not working when the login screen comes up? I have tried on multiple *buntu installs on various computers and they don't work on any. | 17:43 |

| stefanoUbuntu20 | yep i'm running ubuntu | 17:43 |
| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, You already have gtk | 17:44 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | oh cool ^^ | 17:44 |
| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, Wasn't that easy? | 17:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | So get Qt it is better | 17:44 |
| delirage | Hi, could anyone tell me how I setup a VPN on ubuntu so I could connect to it with windows? | 17:44 |
| undecim | stefanoUbuntu20, You will probably need to install the dev package | 17:44 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | Qt is cross platform hmmm maybe that's better | 17:44 |
| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, They both are cross platform | 17:44 |
| afroman | edbian: when I set the router to access point, the router's homepage was stopped and showed a new page saying that to get the ip adress of the device I needed to use the dhcp server or use upnp tools to edit the device. | 17:44 |
| rm_work | GTK is also cross-platform... | 17:44 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | oh | 17:44 |
| rm_work | It's just the age old KDE vs Gnome argument, don't even start T_T | 17:45 |
| Quantum_Ion | stefanoUbuntu20, Right you can use Qt on Windows, Mac, etc | 17:45 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | thanks a lot <3 | 17:45 |
| skirmantas | gtk is C, Qt is C++. | 17:45 |
| edbian | afroman, That makes sense. Remind me of your setup. You have modem goes to wired router goes to wireless router and the wireless router is on access point mode and the machine connects to it wirelessly? | 17:45 |
| fleshpike | well, what can i say? my computer is someway damaged ,sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn t. i guess long time of use exposed to vibrating parts (hard drive) caused the problem | 17:45 |
| rm_work | gtk and Qt are both for pretty much any language <_< | 17:45 |
| error_203 | how to use c++ program in ubuntu | 17:45 |
| undecim | stefanoUbuntu20, install "libgtk2.0-dev" package from the software center or synaptic to write programs with it | 17:45 |

| stefanoUbuntu20 | allright thanks | 17:47 |
| Quantum_Ion | rm_work, lol | 17:47 |
| rm_work | stefanoUbuntu20: just look at them both and pick which one looks best for your use :) | 17:47 |
| stefanoUbuntu20 | yea | 17:47 |
| edbian | stefanoUbuntu20, have fun! come back here with questions. Like I said I am literally doing the same thing right now | 17:47 |

| jessd | Hi all. I dd'd a USB stick like this : dd if=/dev/sdb of=file.dd - Now I'd liek to mount it via loop if possible. If i do fdisk on the image, it reports the file system as W95 FAT32 (b), and if I mount w/out explicit filesystem definition, it tells me I need the filesystem type. If I say -t vfat or msdos, I get wrong fs type, bad option, etc etc. Any advice? They key this was on is gone, and I don't have a block device large enough | 17:50 |
| afroman | edbian: it goes like this: ethernet outlet on the wall connected to the wireless router connected to the pc throu wireless | 17:50 |

| crucialhoax | acerhdf.ko): No such device | 17:58 |
| edbian | Ziber, just apt-get install <packageName> will fix dependencies | 17:58 |
| afroman | edbian: I have only traceroute6 and it says unknown host | 17:58 |
| hplc | whats the closest one gets security templates? "Bastille"? "SELinux"? | 17:58 |
| edbian | afroman, What are you putting in? (traceroute6 is fine) | 17:59 |
| crucialhoax | But when I hit the tab key, acerhdf is one of the modules listed so I know its installed. Plus its been included in the kernel since 9.10 | 17:59 |
| mikeg3 | I cannot install any updates. But there is a minor twist. I installed NOD32 for linux beta, and wonder if that is causing problems. The update manager popped up after that was installed. Installing the AV was the last thing I did. | 17:59 |
| Ziber | edbian: seemingly not. http://paste.ziber.org/57071 | 17:59 |

| Quantum_Ion | afroman, edbian spent at least 30 minutes trying to unravel your situation I would suggest in the future to keep things simple as possible | 18:12 |

| saganbyte | Is it possible to resize an image from nautilus (basically without gimp) | 19:02 |
| saganbyte | I need to make an image smaller than what it is | 19:02 |
| edbian | kev_, Perhaps they have users you can't see / know about | 19:02 |
| |trey| | says cannot load mixer controls, invalid argument | 19:02 |
| baggar11 | saganbyte: what ubuntu version? | 19:02 |
| weekly | gobbe, HAHA, it worked when i tried to mount it to a folder in my /home/ | 19:02 |
| saganbyte | 10.10 | 19:02 |
| saganbyte | baggar11, 10.10 | 19:02 |
| gobbe | weekly: yes, it's the automounter that's preventing it | 19:02 |
| dwarder | 10.10 | 19:02 |
| luxurymode | actionparsnip: screen looks brighter (i think...) but still cant adjust | 19:03 |
| Paddy_NI | saganbyte, there is a right click entry when you use the nautilus-scripts package | 19:03 |
| baggar11 | saganbyte: open in shotwell and do a "save as" | 19:03 |
| edbian | |trey|, I think you made a typo | 19:03 |
| kev_ | edbian, maybe. I'm going to ask now. I thought that was a bit strange and it boggled my mind lol. | 19:03 |
| baggar11 | saganbyte: that brings up the resize options | 19:03 |
| edbian | |trey|, bottom line here. i think your volume is down. | 19:03 |
| edbian | kev_, It is very strange | 19:03 |
| Paddy_NI | saganbyte, very handy indeed | 19:03 |
| |trey| | im pretty sure its not, i can see the mixer controls and im not seeing anything disabled or down | 19:03 |
| Paddy_NI | saganbyte, even a audio conversion script is available | 19:03 |
| edbian | |trey|, mmm, I'm not sure | 19:04 |
| |trey| | ive got the alsa mixer up | 19:04 |

| saganbyte | baggar11, thanks :) | 19:04 |

| luxurymode | how do i remove all of these "Y has quit" and other notifications. its clogging up the irc window for me | 19:04 |
| |trey| | take off joins and parts | 19:04 |
| weekly | gobbe, is the automounter a function of nautilus? would turning it off in gconf under the natilus key do anything? | 19:04 |
| saganbyte | Paddy_NI, I ll have a look at nautilus-scripts :) | 19:04 |

| edbian | itilious, any of them? | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | luxurymode: not sure about the adjust, is there a bug logged? | 19:05 |
| jasonmchristos | is there an #ubuntu-offtopic still ? | 19:06 |
| gobbe | weekly: you could turn it of in gconf | 19:06 |
| itilious | edbian, they would fit on a drive that small? | 19:06 |
| gobbe | weekly: but the idea is to mount automatically usb-sticks etc | 19:06 |
| edbian | itilious, The live CD is only 699 MB | 19:06 |
| gobbe | weekly: add static mounts to somewhere else? | 19:06 |
| Diverdude | if i do: grep -r NDK_PROJ it searches all files in current folder and all files in all subfolders for text containing the string "NDK_PROJ" right? | 19:06 |
| itilious | edbian, i'm trying to get a portable installation going so that I can use an updated virus scanner on other machines | 19:06 |
| luxurymode | actionparsnip: how can i check for a bug log? | 19:07 |
| itilious | edbian, can the live cd/jump drive do this? | 19:07 |
| Diverdude | if i do: grep -r NDK_PROJ it searches all files in current folder and all files in all subfolders for text containing the string "NDK_PROJ" right? | 19:07 |
| edbian | itilious, Use the Ubuntu magic USB creator or whatever (yes it can) | 19:07 |
| weekly | gobbe, ill try the gconf key first, i would rather not have to re-write all my backup cron jobs, but i will if its going to act up like this | 19:07 |
| gobbe | weekly: you could also do a link from /media/backup to /mnt/backup for example | 19:07 |
| itilious | edbian, when i tried to install avg .deb it had an error though | 19:08 |
| weekly | gobbe, good idea what is the syntax for doing somethign like that? never tried before | 19:08 |
| itilious | i already have an ubuntu jump drive that i booted to and tried to install .deb avg in "try ubuntu" is this the correct way to do this? | 19:08 |
| edbian | itilious, yes, that's correct | 19:09 |
| edbian | itilious, The error is probably unrelated to the fact that it's a live CD | 19:09 |
| Diverdude | if i do: grep -r NDK_PROJ it searches all files in current folder and all files in all subfolders for text containing the string "NDK_PROJ" right? | 19:09 |
| gobbe | weekly: sudo ln -s /media/backup/ /mnt/backup for example | 19:10 |
| gobbe | weekly: sorry, viceversa | 19:10 |
| DrAcid1 | hello | 19:10 |

| robbie_tzr | given the cheap price of HDD's these days, is there any merit in running 10.10 desktop edition on a RAID5 array? Although this is seen as a "fake" or Software Array, would there be much decrease in terms of performance on a (reasonably) modern dual core PC? | 19:22 |

| robbie_tzr | Thanks gobbe; can I ask a further question - in terms of dealing with the possible implications of this, is it worth actually "breaking" the raid, ie, removing and formatting one disk, in order that I can perform a dummy-run of disk failure followed by disk renewal, and it regenerating? | 19:27 |
| gobbe | robbie_tzr: well. if you want to do that you could, but i don't see any points there :) | 19:28 |

| robbie_tzr | thanks Walex. If RAID5 can provide this sort of redundancy, is it worth experimenting with more "exotic" filesystems such as BTRFS or stick with ext4? Just wondering along the lines of now the possibility of disk failure is reduced, can I therefore be more adventurous with the filesystem? | 19:32 |

| robbie_tzr | thanks Walex - yes I am quite wary of benchmarks/statistics on these comparative sites, for a normal user such as myself, I am happy to stick with ext4. | 19:36 |
| goltoof | sam-_-: sounds a bit drastic | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | goltoof: it's gonna be a lot of grep, awk and find-ing | 19:36 |
| yubahaq | i have a problem about resolution : it doesn't work with startup | 19:36 |

| ZykoticK9 | sam-_-, FYI c+a+backspace was changed to alt+sysrq+k a few releases ago | 19:36 |
| Walex | robbie_tzr: things like 'ext3', 'ext4' and BTRFS exist only to let enterprise users update in-place without downtime. | 19:36 |
| yubahaq | i have installed startupmanager but haven't that resolution which i work with | 19:37 |

| jessd | Hi all. I'm working on a bootable USB key. It installs an image file onto a target machine. The problem is that the image file requries the drive on the machien be SDA; the usb key is coming up as SDA. Is anyone aware of a way to force the boot process to redefine the boot device to be a different drive designation. It's a lot faster than rebuilding the image process... | 19:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, yup a la !dontzap ;) | 19:37 |
| itaylor57 | goltool man find | 19:37 |
| coz_ | ctrl+a;t+backspace does not shut down applications properly ctrl+alt+F1 log in sudo restart gdm is much safer | 19:38 |
| killybilly | ActionParsnip: that explains how to install persistence in a live usb, that i have, what i want to do is 'disable' or 'lock' that capability in order to keep my changes botting but not to write anything else | 19:38 |
| luxurymode | apparently i had to just click escape | 19:38 |
| Walex | sbalmos: occasional filesystem sluggishness is often due instead do improper choice of elevator and of flusher paramters. The defaults can be wv ery very wrong. | 19:38 |
| robbie_tzr | thanks Walex. One more quick question in that case - in the case of my laptop, a DELL Mini10V with an 8gig SSD, should I really be looking at these benchmark sites siting XFS, ZFS, etc, etc, as a means of squeezing the last bit of performance out of the laptop, or be happy with something like ext4? | 19:38 |
| goltoof | itaylor57: kind of doubt that | 19:38 |
| Walex | robbie_tzr: if you have an SSD things are *completely different* | 19:39 |
| will777 | Anyone have experience mounting and decrypting (slaving) an encrypted (with alternative installer CD) system boot drive for data recovery? Please message me... | 19:39 |
| unop | coz_, the effect is the same actually, in both cases the window manager is terminated and in getting that signal sends the same signal to all it's children | 19:39 |
| yubahaq | i have installed startupmanager but haven't that resolution which i work with | 19:39 |
| LUCKY__ | kindly help me | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | robbie_tzr: i'd use ext2 as it has no journal which will reduce the writes to the storage device | 19:39 |
| Walex | robbie_tzr: SSDs have A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT performance profile for the hard disks for which most file systems have been designed., | 19:39 |
| coz_ | unop, not quite guy... it was disabled for a reason ctrl+alt+F1 is much much safer | 19:39 |
| Walex | robbie_tzr: for that kind of SSD use 'ext2', and *nothing else*. | 19:39 |
| Chilaquiles | hey guys Im trying to install a wireless card in ubuntu but it doesn't let me do it, is there any documentation where I can get help to do this? | 19:39 |
| robbie_tzr | Ok Walex- my desktop 10.10 is running happily on a RAID5 3x80gb HDD setup. The laptop is running 10.04 UNR on an 8gig SDD | 19:40 |
| will777 | Chilaquiles check out NDISWRAPPER in relation to your particular network device...... | 19:40 |
| Walex | robbie_tzr: NILFS2 might be the filesystem of the future because it is particularly suitable for SSDs,. | 19:40 |
| will777 | (it's not necessarily capitalized) :) | 19:40 |
| will777 | Anyone have experience mounting and decrypting (slaving) an encrypted (with alternative installer CD) system boot drive for data recovery? Please message me... | 19:40 |
| robbie_tzr | Walex: really ext2? Can you give me some more info/reasons for this choice of FS please? | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Chilaquiles: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line to find guides | 19:40 |
| casperfoo | Walex: why only ext2, what's wrong with ext3/4? | 19:41 |
| yubahaq | http://pc-techn.blogspot.com/2010/11/check-list-for-linux-security.html | 19:41 |
| unop | coz_, actually, the reason it was disabled is arguable - I'd say it's so that one can't inadvertently kill the X session using ctrl-alt-backspace | 19:41 |
| Walex | robbie_tzr: a 3-disk setup is one of the two cases where RAID5 makes some sense. | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | robbie_tzr: it will prolong the life of the device as SSD have limited writes | 19:41 |
| itaylor57 | goltool: find . -perm 777 | 19:41 |
| unop | coz_, and it's not disabled universally - only a few distros do it | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | itaylor57: ooh nice :) | 19:41 |
| itaylor57 | im a cli kinda guy :>) | 19:41 |
| will777 | robbie_tzr: it probably is because you won't be having all the extraneous data writes for the journaling that will otherwise slow you down with SSD with ext3 | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | itaylor57: me too, i just dont search by perm a lot :) | 19:42 |
| sbalmos | Walex: Admittedly, I have yet to really experiment with btrfs, especially with tuning. Any articles out yet in the intartubez for such? | 19:42 |
| coz_ | unop, well as I recall several years ago ,,,, ,mnay people coming in here complaingin about gnome and nautilus errors because they used ctrl+altr+baclspace and the errors were quite clear that they were not shut down properly | 19:42 |
| Walex | as <ActionParsnip> wrote SSDs have limited rewrites and the journal area of a journal filesystem does heavy writes. | 19:42 |
| coz_ | but have it your way | 19:42 |
| robbie_tzr | ok - should I therefore consider re-installing UNR10.04 on ext2 on this laptop? I sort of understand the additional complications of running on SSD | 19:42 |
| peeps[lappy] | is there any easy way to see the shortcut for a gnome menu item? for example in windows you can right-click any start menu item and view properties to see what path it links to. why can't I do this in ubuntu | 19:42 |

| dave007 | Hi all, I'm having a weird problem with ubuntu 10.10 after playing around with the abort() syscall, which caused my system to hard freeze. Now when I boot it "stalls" when loading the system (after booting the kernel), no error msg nothing, I can do ctrl-alt-sup to reboot however. This makes me think it might be udev related?? It doesn't load the gdm, just sits there. I booted with a rescue disk and ran fsck.ext4 but nothing in the fs was wrong. could anyon | 19:54 |

| edbian | flodine, unity is based on gnome. It is not used by default except for on netbook edition | 21:03 |
| guntbert | !sudo | dexi | 21:03 |
| ubottu | dexi: 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 | 21:03 |
| guntbert | !root | dexi | 21:04 |
| ubottu | dexi: 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 | 21:04 |

| ubottu | EsbenJacobSloth: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 21:35 |

| trojan_spike | theMalloc, have you tried removing nautilus? | 23:23 |
| luneth95 | like I have a really good pc but my school is giving out laptops that are not so good so I was wonderinf if it would still run | 23:23 |
| luneth95 | like well | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | thethinker: same here, I have that too in maverick | 23:24 |
| goltoof | luneth95: latest one is 10.10 .. the newer the distro, the better it'll probably work with your system | 23:24 |
| maco | luneth95: if theyre made more recently than about 2003, you're fine | 23:24 |
| maco | luneth95: ubuntu's minimum ram requirements are 256MB | 23:24 |
| thethinker | luneth95: let me find docs | 23:24 |

| trojan_spike | theMalloc, uninstall nautilus , then re-install? | 23:25 |
| shcherbak | luneth95: quite limited choice you have: two supported LTS and three (?) supported normal releases. | 23:25 |
| luneth95 | whats that supposed to mean | 23:25 |
| maco | shcherbak: i suspect luneth95 meant ubuntu v kubuntu v xubuntu v lubuntu | 23:25 |
| maco | luneth95: LTS get security updates for 3 years on desktop while regular are for 18mo | 23:26 |
| thethinker | luneth95: u still there? | 23:26 |
| luneth95 | yea | 23:26 |
| theMalloc | I thought about this, but I think this would also remove gnome-session and ubuntu-desktop... | 23:26 |

| maco | shcherbak: no! | 23:26 |
| luneth95 | I was looking for a free ubuntu release that I could bood it off from a flash drive and still runw well on any computer | 23:26 |
| maco | shcherbak: hardy is end of life in 4 months | 23:26 |

| stygian_ | heh | 23:27 |
| shcherbak | maco: sip of coffee, yes sorry. | 23:27 |
| goltoof | luneth95: make a bootable image of ubuntu desktop ... and they're all free | 23:27 |
| stygian_ | luneth95, booting anything off a flash drive is likely to be slow | 23:27 |
| maco | luneth95: go for 10.04 or 10.10 but... keep in mind a lot of computers dont boot from usb | 23:27 |
| === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy | ||
| thethinker | luneth95: you can simply use a thumb drive as the install drive or the ubuntu shop has them | 23:28 |
| stygian_ | unless you're skilled enough to create a self-populating ramdisk and have lots of free memory | 23:28 |
| goltoof | luneth95: if you're referring to "try before you buy" there's an option to use the system before installing.. | 23:28 |
| arnotixe | goltoof, ok i did | 23:28 |
| thethinker | or wubi | 23:28 |
| luneth95 | I dont think people get it, I dont plan on buying ANYTHING. simply because I dont have money, as I am a kid and my parents don't plan to spend money for this project of mine, let alone any project | 23:29 |
| goltoof | arnotixe: did what? | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: as long as your PC is from within the last 5 or so years it will be fine | 23:29 |
| goltoof | luneth95: it's all FREE | 23:29 |
| goltoof | luneth95: you couldn't buy ubuntu or most linux distros if you wanted to | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: the apps are free, a small few are paid for but the main ones youo will use are free | 23:29 |
| luneth95 | any idea how to get ubuntu to boot off usb that has maybe 3 gigs left? | 23:30 |
| arnotixe | goltoof, join firefox channel : ) thx | 23:30 |
| goltoof | luneth95: what i meant is try the system out before you install it.. a bootable ubuntu image has the option | 23:30 |
| luneth95 | whick distro do I use | 23:30 |
| stygian_ | 3 gigs is pretty small for a system like ubuntu | 23:30 |
| thethinker | luneth95: no, i think 4gb is needed | 23:30 |
| maco | stygian_: its big enough | 23:30 |
| shcherbak | luneth95: good thinking, free is good. for 3 gig ubuntu and xubuntu | 23:30 |
| Blue1 | luneth95: ass/u/ming there's a bootable system there, trying running grub | 23:30 |
| maco | thethinker: i thought the requirement was 2gb | 23:30 |
| stygian_ | to install ;) | 23:30 |
| goltoof | arnotixe: ah.. yeah, i should know the answer given how much i uuse it | 23:30 |
| xangua | !usb | luneth95 | 23:31 |
| ubottu | luneth95: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 23:31 |
| luneth95 | I tried with puppy linux but I couldnt get it to connect fo the wifi | 23:31 |
| stygian_ | go installing xorg and kernel sources and see how enough 3gigs is | 23:31 |
| Jeruvy | luneth95: you'd need to dedicate the usb to the boot process, I don't think you could share it | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: you can use unetbootin or the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux to make a bootable USB, you will need to repartition the device so you have an empty partition to put the image onto using the apps | 23:31 |
| goltoof | luneth95: fyi, "distro" refers to the flavor.. ie Ubuntu is a different "distro" from Fedora | 23:31 |
| maco | stygian_: because most normal users have source for everything on their system...riiiiight. that's developer stuff | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Jeruvy: if you repartition it, it should fly afaik | 23:31 |
| Redcoil | lol, I fail at applying a patch. | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: puppy has few drivers by default than Ubuntu | 23:32 |
| shcherbak | luneth95: standart .iso is 700 MB, so in theory you can make usb with 3 systems | 23:32 |
| luneth95 | so I would have to partition the flash drive in order to use it for taht? | 23:32 |
| luneth95 | that* | 23:32 |
| maco | stygian_: though really for fully in-use systems i go for 10GB / for non-devs and 15 for devs.. but on a usb you're not going to be installing stuff... it gets wiped when you reboot anyway | 23:32 |
| goltoof | luneth95: here we discuss the Ubuntu distro.. you mean the version. in which case i recommend Ubuntu Maverick | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: sure, i suggest you copy all the data off in case of catastrophe while you make the USB installation | 23:32 |
| stygian_ | im currently using 9gb, running xubuntu, no xorg or kernel sources to speak of. just build-essential , vbox, and some various little apps | 23:32 |
| maco | goltoof:the ubuntu project makes more than one distro ;-) | 23:32 |
| shcherbak | luneth95: yes, rather need to back up thumb first | 23:32 |
| Jeruvy | ActionParsnip: I've never tried, most of the docs I've read say you format it first, but afterwards I never thought. Thanks. | 23:32 |
| maco | stygian_: but thats an installed system, yes? on a live usb you couldnt have stuff installed...it goes away when you reboot | 23:33 |
| stygian_ | oh yeah if you're running live | 23:33 |

| superbenjo | guys, is it true that gaming in ubuntu need more graphic resource than windowds??? | 23:35 |
| sam-_- | superbenjo, no where did you read that? | 23:36 |
| shcherbak | superbenjo: complicated subject. what game? | 23:36 |
| goltoof | superbenjo: with a good enough GPC shouldn't be too bad. | 23:36 |
| superbenjo | well, i played some games, like alien-arena, or what so-called, and it's so heavy, not even move | 23:37 |
| shcherbak | luneth95: you can use ubuntu provided software or unetbootin | 23:37 |
| superbenjo | i din't read it anywhere, i just feel like that | 23:37 |
| sam-_- | superbenjo, that's because some graphics drivers in linux aren't as good | 23:37 |
| luneth95 | I"M LOST!!! | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: it transfers the data needed to boot the OS then sets up the boot loader. | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | luneth95: does the system not have an optical drive? | 23:38 |
| shcherbak | luneth95: why? | 23:39 |
| goltoof | luneth95: you must change your bootloader to usb.. | 23:39 |
| goltoof | 1st | 23:39 |
| superbenjo | i use toshiba satelite L 510 with Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD, can i get proper driver for that ?? | 23:39 |
| luneth95 | long story short, I am looking to install ubuntu to a flash drive so I can boot it on most computers. what I dont get it how do I go aobut that and I only have a certain amount of space on my flash drive. | 23:39 |
| pngl | (I get command not found) | 23:40 |
| stygian_ | first copy everything OFF of your flash drive, it's probably gonna get wiped. then find a liveusb image and copy it to the flashdrive using the proper tool | 23:40 |
| superbenjo | so far, i only knew that there are only NVDIA and ATI specific driver | 23:41 |
| itaylor57 | luneth95: you need a 2GB flash drive | 23:41 |
| goltoof | superbenjo: nvidia gets better support than ati | 23:41 |
| stygian_ | superbenjo, there are intel drivers but iirc there is and/or was problems with them.. the situation may have changed. and iirc they were not so great but they do work. | 23:41 |
| goltoof | luneth95: have you downloaded the distro you want yet? | 23:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | you need about an 160GB flash drive to make it worth your while | 23:42 |
| luneth95 | no not yet | 23:42 |
| luneth95 | because I dont know which one I need | 23:42 |
| goltoof | luneth95: well, that's called step #1 ;) | 23:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | think about updates and other packages | 23:42 |
| stygian_ | the easiest thing to do though is just burn a livecd . pop it out and take it with you wherever you go | 23:42 |
| goltoof | luneth95: go to ubuntu.org | 23:43 |
| goltoof | ubuntu.com.. sorry | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !download | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 23:43 |
| Quantum_Ion | stygian_, Or make a portable hardrive from a laptop hardrive and a hard drive enclosure | 23:43 |
| goltoof | luneth95: then click on the big download link | 23:43 |
| luneth95 | then? | 23:44 |
| stygian_ | Quantum_Ion, yeah because most laptops have external sata connectors. | 23:44 |
| luneth95 | says desktop edition | 23:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | I seen a 64GB SSD drive for $220.00 US | 23:44 |
| goltoof | luneth95: option 2 | 23:44 |
| stygian_ | in that case a generic usb external drive would be a better choice.. if its possible to boot from them | 23:44 |
| goltoof | luneth95: usb stick > your os > show me how | 23:44 |
| luneth95 | I see | 23:44 |
| luneth95 | is this persistent? | 23:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | stygian_, Yeah you can boot from an external USB drive just change your BIOS settings | 23:44 |
| stygian_ | i doubt a computer as old as the one in question could boot from it. | 23:44 |
