| Bluefever | Hey, I recently changed my login password, but when I first turn on my computer the new password won't work. So I have to use my old password, but the thing is once my computer goes to screen saver after 5 minutes and I have to login again, then I'll have to use my new password. Its a little strange, so I was wondering if there are two different passwords that needed to be changed, or if this is some kind of fluke. Any thoughts? | 00:11 |
| DasEi | L4nce0: from win 7 putty lets you ssh into the usb-os | 00:11 |
| L4nce0 | sorry let me clarify. I want to dual boot, but still be able to run the exact same instance of ubuntu but as a virtual machine. | 00:11 |
| R1cochet | Bluefever maybe you changed the user pass and not root pass? | 00:12 |
| DasEi | L4nce0: hardly. you can get /home copied and take a the paketselection, but not the config | 00:12 |
| L4nce0 | DasEi: Hmm thanks, was worth a shot. My current work around is an abuse of the dropbox application | 00:12 |
| Bluefever | @R1cochet, that makes sense, but where would I go to change my root pass? | 00:13 |
| DasEi | L4nce0: hehe | 00:13 |
| R1cochet | Bluefever unfortunately that im not sure of | 00:13 |

| DasEi | Bluefever: changing root pass from what situation (just switched back here) | 00:13 |
| L4nce0 | DasEi: seriously, try dropbox as your eclipse directory. All your computers now have the same workspace! All old data is backed up so in the case of data getting messed up syncing it's still there | 00:14 |

| se7en | got no plans on taking down win7 atm though | 00:53 |
| tadcrazio | i think its a sony vaio thing.. not affiliated with norton | 00:53 |

| AuroraX | DasEi, apparently, i asked him to apt-get linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic but he got linux-image-2.6.32-26.... what the hell? | 00:57 |
| aeon-ltd | tadcrazio: then backup to external hdd, using remastersys or clonezilla | 00:57 |
| Ken | I'm in need of assistance if anyone has the time. I have a server that's worked well in the past. Tried to install the Zyental .iso but it failed to work properly, so went back to Ubuntu Server 10.10. On boot i'm constantly faced with "DISK BOOK FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". I've tried Ubuntu Server 10.04 and it's no different. I installed a copy of Windows XP and it installed and booted correctly. I've used U | 00:57 |
| aeon-ltd | tadcrazio: or your software of choice | 00:57 |
| etheretic | se7en: fix? | 00:57 |
| Ken | I should mention I'm having the same issue with the Desktop install. | 00:58 |
| se7en | @etheretic just try it out | 00:58 |
| se7en | but it should fix it | 00:58 |
| rigved | AuroraX: that's the lowest kernel image version available for 10.04 | 00:58 |
| KM0201 | Ken: are you trying to boot off an ISO? | 00:58 |
| KM0201 | Ken: check.. are you trying to boot off a USB iso | 00:58 |
| Ken | KM0201: I'm not. I've installed it onto my primary IDE drive. | 00:58 |
| tadcrazio | aeon-ltd, thanks thats what i was going to do. i wanted to make an iso of it and then reinstall but it says there is too much. Do you now what option i use to just back up to an external harddrive in remastersys | 00:58 |
| AuroraX | rigved, that who? | 00:58 |
| KM0201 | Ken: well, first thoguht, drive is fubar | 00:58 |
| sacarlson | etheretic: try complete power down include unplug to fully reset all since some computer have a standby power that can leave things in unstable state without full power off reset. | 00:59 |
| rigved | AuroraX: linux-image-2.6.32-26 | 00:59 |
| Ken | KM0201: It's a relatively new drive so it *shouldn't* be. I'll try to test the integrity of it if I can, though. | 00:59 |
| etheretic | sacarlson: been there,done that. | 00:59 |
| KM0201 | Ken: eh, you never know..t hats typically what that error means, you don't have any other disks in the machine, that might accidentally be first in the boot sequence? | 01:00 |
| sacarlson | etheretic: so you tried that on this already taken off power from the wall? if laptop take out the battery? | 01:00 |
| aeon-ltd | tadcrazio: no idea, keep asking here (i've never used remastersys personally) | 01:00 |
| Ken | KM0201: I checked the BIOS to ensure there was no conflict. Then I took the second drive out just in case. I even disconnected the two CD drives and the floppy. | 01:00 |
| tadcrazio | well i'll go explore it thanks for your help | 01:00 |
| etheretic | sacarlson: that, to. | 01:01 |
| KM0201 | Ken: removed the 2nd drive... are you on a raid by chance? | 01:01 |
| Ken | KM0201: No. Just a regular install with nothing fancy. | 01:01 |
| etheretic | bbl | 01:01 |
| KM0201 | Ken: nono, are your two drives set up in RAID format | 01:01 |
| Ken | KM0201: Oh, no. Sorry, they're not. | 01:01 |
| Ken | KM0201: One is actually a SATA via a PCI card since this PC is a few years old. It's a new addition, though. I've only had it a week or so but it functioned fine before my reformat. | 01:02 |
| Jordan_U | Ken: You may have a broken BIOS that only thinks a drive is bootable if it has a partition marked "active". Choose any partition (doesn't even matter which) and mark it as active and see if that changes anything. | 01:02 |
| sacarlson | etheretic: ok then did you try to bypass network-manager and setup on cli (command line interface)? with ifconfig, route, and edit /etc/resolv.conf? | 01:02 |
| KM0201 | Ken: do you have a sata controller on your motherboard, that you can plug it into just to test? | 01:02 |
| Ken | Jordan_U: Thanks, I might just try that. The BIOS is pretty old I'd imagine. | 01:03 |
| se7en | flash the bios :) | 01:03 |
| AuroraX | rigved, so why uname -r gives me linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic? | 01:03 |
| wildbat1 | [Q], I am use VMware Workstation booting XP guest under ubuntu host, the VMWS screen is transparent not even a BIOS... but if i take a screenshot ~ i can see the VM is it working. It was working be4, but not now. i have touch compiz and nvadia-driver. if i use lxde the VM work but KDE GDM isn't. how do i fix it ? | 01:03 |
| Ken | KM0201: I'm actually not sure if I do. I think so, but i'm not certain. I've removed the SATA HD. In fact, I never even thought of trying to install onto the other HD *smacks forehead* | 01:03 |
| Ken | I just don't get why it won't boot yet the Ultimate Boot CD grub2 feature will detect the installation and boot it nicely. | 01:04 |
| rigved | AuroraX: did you upgrade from an earlier version of ubuntu (as opposed to a fresh install)? | 01:05 |
| AuroraX | yes | 01:06 |
| rigved | AuroraX: then it seems that your kernel image has not been upgraded | 01:06 |
| AuroraX | rigved, why not? | 01:07 |
| AuroraX | rigved, is that bad? | 01:07 |
| rigved | AuroraX: did you try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade? | 01:07 |
| AuroraX | rigved, no | 01:08 |
| se7en | doesnt update manager notify you to dl new kernel image? | 01:08 |
| rigved | AuroraX: once you do that, your kernel-image will get updated | 01:08 |
| AuroraX | rigved, i tried now, nothing updated | 01:08 |
| Varanger | hi | 01:09 |
| se7en | did you update your sources.list? | 01:09 |
| se7en | you should.. | 01:09 |
| Varanger | which one news reader is good for Ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| rigved | AuroraX: can you tell me what's written in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:09 |

| Alan502 | Hey can somebody help me get an application working on wine? | 01:10 |
| bazhang | Alan502, try #winehq after checking the appdb | 01:11 |
| Varanger | ejv: Is it installed by default? | 01:11 |
| bazhang | !appdb > Alan502 | 01:11 |
| ubottu | Alan502, please see my private message | 01:11 |
| ejv | Varanger: don't believe so, it's a mozilla email client, but also supports blogs, rss, newsgroups, etc. | 01:11 |
| Srin | hey guys, I can't seem to be able to install Iexplorer8? I got the exe from the microsoft website, but for some reason it doesn't open. We're upgrading all of the computers at the business to the latest IE, and Linux doesn't seem to want to open the installer. IT is out because it's the holiday season... | 01:11 |
| Alan502 | bazhang, oh ok thanks :) btw do you know any application that allows me multiple letter hotkeys? | 01:11 |
| Srin | Oh, and I should note that none of the windows XP pcs are having problems. | 01:12 |
| bazhang | Srin, why would you want IE for Ubuntu | 01:12 |
| ejv | Srin: uhh windows binaries won't natively run on a linux platform... | 01:12 |
| Srin | Is this something specific for Ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| Varanger | Srin: There used to be a IE4Linux | 01:12 |
| Srin | I don't know, I think we need IE9 for the standard setup | 01:12 |
| Srin | vpn and stuff. | 01:12 |
| bazhang | Srin, yes. | 01:12 |
| Dongs123 | can i use internet explorer in ubuntu ? | 01:13 |
| Varanger | Srin: But I don't know it has been mantained | 01:13 |
| R1cochet | Dongs123 why would you want to? | 01:13 |
| Srin | meh, alright thanks. I'll wait till Monday for IT | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Dongs123: theres ies4linux but it basically sucks | 01:13 |
| Dongs123 | cos its the best | 01:13 |
| zakwilson | Varanger, Srin: I think IE for Linux is still around. It's just a Wine wrapper script. | 01:13 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: why on earth would you want to use it on Windows, let alone Ubuntu | 01:13 |
| R1cochet | ? | 01:13 |
| AuroraX | rigved, http://pastebin.com/eH4u9LSB | 01:13 |
| bazhang | Dongs123, check the appdb and use via wine if you must | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Dongs123: you can also run IE in seamless mode in a virtualbox but thats it running under windows | 01:13 |
| hermanon | Hello,how do I set iptables to make packets going from client 1.2.3.4 to my server on port 6666 go to my server on port 7777 | 01:13 |
| ejv | people are getting very good at trolling | 01:13 |
| mikel | Dongs123: It can be done but you're clearly a masochist for wanting to | 01:13 |
| ejv | these questions are borderline ridiculous... | 01:13 |

| * KM0201 hears better ghetto talk in prison | 01:15 | |
| Dongs123 | ok i got the installer for IE but it wont run the exe | 01:15 |
| gnumerous | afroman: i generally use 1.5 times the available ram for swap space | 01:15 |
| craigbass1976 | Dumb question maybe... Can a box send email if it's not a regular web server? I've got a server i need to get into every so often, and I'd like it to email me the results of wget http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp | 01:15 |
| bazhang | Dongs123, that MS specific | 01:15 |
| Alan502 | I'm trying to set up my Micosoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander in ubuntu, does anybody know an application like Joy2Key but that allows button combos? | 01:15 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: you need to install wine, and read the support docs for it | 01:15 |
| R1cochet | no it wont Dongs123 | 01:15 |
| se7en | swap=ram | 01:15 |
| Dongs123 | why not ? | 01:16 |
| R1cochet | Dongs123 why dont you just use ff or chrome? | 01:16 |
| bazhang | !appdb > Dongs123 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Dongs123, please see my private message | 01:16 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: because its a windows program, nota Linux program | 01:16 |
| R1cochet | because .exe are for windows | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 01:16 |

| R1cochet | yea im making to move over to chrome soon | 01:16 |
| Sary | Still Stuck at Kubuntu 10.10 installation process windows .. tried "F6 options" 1-noapic nolapic. 2- acpi=off. | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: you can rename an image file to .exe and it'll still be read as an image file | 01:17 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, ah thanks :) is the id more useful than the name itself when searching? | 01:17 |
| ejv | craigbass1976: sendmail is basically an MTA, sounds like it might be what you need | 01:17 |
| KM0201 | R1cochet: it i really awesome.. i like it a lot, and i was an avid FF user for a long long time | 01:17 |
| R1cochet | been using it a little bit lately and really like it a lot | 01:17 |
| R1cochet | on FF atm | 01:17 |
| himuraken_ | Dongs123, you may want to use Lynx | 01:17 |
| R1cochet | will make full switch soon | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: yes, you can use the ID to find guides. I also suggest you install jscalibrator or whatever its called | 01:17 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: sorry, was trapped by some load here, you're still at compiling module ? | 01:17 |
| himuraken_ | Dongs123, its really quite simple. | 01:17 |
| craigbass1976 | ejv, or postfix. I was more wondering if I'm going to be able to do it without the server having a host name | 01:17 |
| KM0201 | R1cochet: i thik Chrome's adblock is superior to FF's... | 01:17 |
| afroman | gnumerous: I have 10 gb swap and 4 gb ram, but someone told me it was way 2 much. shall I shrink it to 6 gb? | 01:17 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, I have already | 01:18 |
| ejv | craigbass1976: you mean assigned by some DNS? yea should be fine, just specify IP directly | 01:18 |
| craigbass1976 | ejv, it's just a home setup on DSL with dynamic ip addresses | 01:18 |
| AuroraX | rigved, http://pastebin.com/eH4u9LSB here's the file you asked | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | afroman: you only need 4Gb swap | 01:18 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, Yes | 01:18 |
| Sary | just now , i select F6 Option edd=on .. i can see the installation process window , clicked on Try Kubuntu .. stuck there. not again ! | 01:18 |
| R1cochet | why does he need 4gb of swap? | 01:18 |
| hermanon | Hello,how do I set iptables to make packets going from client 1.2.3.4 to my server on port 6666 go to my server on port 7777 ? | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | afroman: 1xram for 2Gb RAM or more, for less than 2Gb ram use 2xram | 01:18 |
| PeterFabinski | how do i force an update with apt-get | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | R1cochet: for hibernate / suspend etc | 01:18 |
| detrix | hi everyone. how do I make a file publicly accessible so it can be downloadable from a web page. what should the permissions be? | 01:19 |
| R1cochet | Sary what graphics card do you have? | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | PeterFabinski: sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade | 01:19 |
| Dongs123 | oh linux comes with FF | 01:19 |
| OvermindDL1 | Greetings. I am running Ubuntu on a remote server, it has an NTFS drive mounted in it, I needed to remote reboot it but it did not come up after a few minutes, waited another hour and still not up, apparently, come to find out, it is on a screen that says that the NTFS drive that is auto-mounted in fstab did not come up and says press s to continue, well I cannot do that remotely (and cannot drive out there for a while yet), any t | 01:19 |
| rigved | AuroraX: i read it. it seems to be fine. do you get any errors when you try to upgrade? | 01:19 |
| se7en | yeah you need to change lucid to the current one | 01:19 |
| ejv | craigbass1976: check this out: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apt-get-apticron-send-email-upgrades-available/ perhaps you can tweak this setup to your issue. | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | detrix: from the web use smoething like imageshack etc | 01:19 |
| Fezzler | when I launch a program, I used to see its tab in the toolbar at bottom, now it is a bubble/egg in top toolbar? | 01:19 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: http://tinyurl.com/2fhtuuc , get this prerequisits first | 01:19 |
| afroman | ActionParsnip: thx a lot. | 01:19 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: also possible right sources are just in the git | 01:20 |
| Sary | R1cochet, Hello again :) .. i got the nVidia Geforce 8200M G , on the LG E300. | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | afroman: if you have a lot of drive space (like 1Tb overall) then i'd just leave it, a few Gb flapping around is fairly worthless | 01:20 |
| themiddleman | So I installed 10.10 on my laptop, the intel gfx is painfully flow, glxgears gets 21 fps full screen, anything I can do for better performance? | 01:20 |
| craigbass1976 | ejv, OR, if there's a way for the box in question to update dyndns.org (or something similar) on it's own, there'd be no need for mail | 01:20 |
| R1cochet | Sary were you able to install normal ubuntu? the gnome version? | 01:20 |
| afroman | ActionParsnip: another question, shall I shrink it directly from Ubuntu or shall I use ubuntu cd live? | 01:20 |
| detrix | ActionParsnip: not quite what I am wanting. Its just some doc files that are available for those that want them. not images. | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: a few Gb "flapping around"... i'd bet something is wrong w/ that drive | 01:21 |
| Sary | R1cochet, I faced the same issue " stuck at that Window. | 01:21 |
| afroman | ActionParsnip: I'm afraid that if I use ubuntu in the box, it might f**** the whole system or something | 01:21 |
| DasEi | KM0201: it's a 10 gb swap just | 01:21 |
| a7i3n | Hello all... | 01:21 |
| Dongs123 | ah i cant install itunes to sync my ipod | 01:22 |
| R1cochet | are you booting livecd or trying to run from w/in windows? | 01:22 |
| hcj | how do you use ffmpeg | 01:22 |
| DasEi | !ipod | Dongs123 | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Dongs123: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 01:22 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, no luck :P to be honest I have googled the name for 3 days and didn't find anything useful, however, I'm reading something about using the xorg.conf to capture the inputs of the joypad... is it possible? | 01:22 |
| Dongs123 | thx | 01:22 |
| PeterFabinski | i installed a program but i cant find it | 01:22 |
| se7en | or you can try replacing all "lucid" to "maverick" | 01:22 |
| a7i3n | Anyone here have a problem with Brasero crashing when you try to copy an audio CD to an image? | 01:22 |
| R1cochet | hcj what are you trying to do w/ it? | 01:22 |
| se7en | then do an update | 01:22 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, i've installed using the apt-get source | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | afroman: it won't, you'll just be able to use a tonne more ram as it can be paged :) | 01:23 |
| R1cochet | a7i3n i have had some issues w/ brasero | 01:23 |
| Sary | i tried the Ubuntu netbook version = Gnome. , al though i tested those iso's on a Dell Laptop .. things went well over there. | 01:23 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, wasnt that the right thing to do? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | themiddleman: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/137980 | 01:23 |
| hcj | ricochet: convert a video to mp3 | 01:23 |
| R1cochet | the solution for me was to remove it and grab the most current .deb from the brasero website | 01:23 |
| VCoolio | PeterFabinski: dpkg-query -L package | 01:23 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: yes and no, take the first two lines from the tut, needed for compiling | 01:23 |
| afroman | ActionParsnip: u there? | 01:23 |
| a7i3n | Seems to be an issue with a library mis-identification... | 01:23 |
| R1cochet | netbook uses ubiquity | 01:23 |
| R1cochet | i have no experience w/ the netbook version. that may be why your having issues | 01:24 |
| DasEi | afroman: if your disk is big enough, just leave it, else have to unmount swap before resizing | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | detrix: if you install openssh-server you will be able to use sshfs on the web too if you want as it is secure :) | 01:24 |
| R1cochet | you should be able to use the normal livecd on a flashdrive just fine tho | 01:24 |
| R1cochet | imo i would go w/ the normal version | 01:24 |
| Alan502 | !xev | 01:25 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, xev doesn't capture joystick events, right? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: well if yuo have 1000Gb to play with and you are wasting 6 then its not a huge worry | 01:25 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: lol, i totally agree, i just thought it was funny how you put it | 01:25 |
| ejv | craigbass1976: use a tomato router ;) | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: it shows all inputs | 01:25 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, are joypads an input? | 01:26 |
| detrix | ActionParsnip: I am setting up a web page for anyone (in our church) to get to the files. window/mac/linux. I have ssh and all that. | 01:26 |
| ejv | craigbass1976: or maybe ddclient | 01:26 |
| DasEi | afroman: size of disk ? | 01:26 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, yes right, cause it's in /dev/input/js0.... | 01:26 |
| ejv | craigbass1976: DDclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Services' free DNS service. | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | detrix: could use samba, it is accessible by all | 01:26 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, but i don't see any of my joystick events? although jscalibrator detects it and all | 01:26 |
| craigbass1976 | ejv, I found... ahh you beat me to it. | 01:26 |
| * Sary listening to Joe Budden - Stuck in the Moment , of Mood Muzik 4. | 01:26 | |

| ejv | craigbass1976: tomato firmware simply rocks though | 01:27 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, done | 01:27 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: :) | 01:27 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: so which module to compile ? | 01:27 |
| Sary | ActionParsnip, :D | 01:27 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, installed essentials and git right? | 01:27 |
| rigved | if i have the ubuntu installation cd mounted and then i type sudo apt-get install openssh-server, will that be installed from the cd or will it be downloaded from the web? | 01:27 |
| ryan__ | Hey guys, would anyone be able to help me getting WoW running on Maverick. I've been on google for hours, tried so many fixes, and nothing has worked. | 01:27 |
| Sary | i'm stuck with Kubuntu installation , for real though. | 01:27 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, one module i made that has nothing in it, just an example that im following from here: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux?page=0,1 | 01:28 |
| ejv | rigved: i don't remember off the top of my head; perform: sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:28 |
| thethinker | what is "people nearby" in ubuntu 10.10? | 01:28 |
| durt | hey folks, just installed latest maverick mainline kernel but the wl module is still being loaded instead of brcm80211, someone point me to the next step? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan__: the appdb has a step by step how to install WoW | 01:28 |
| KM0201 | Sary: why? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | durt: blacklist the module which is being loaded | 01:29 |
| Alan502 | Can somebody help me configuring Joy2Key please? | 01:29 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545116/ | 01:29 |
| ryan__ | ActionParsnip: been there, tried all the fixes there, still same problems. | 01:29 |
| Sary | KM0201, No clue yet ! | 01:29 |
| KM0201 | Sary: no, you said you were stuck with it... i'm wondering why you feel you're stuck w/ it | 01:29 |
| durt | ActionParsnip, in modprobe.d? | 01:30 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: fakeroot debian/rules clean | 01:30 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r) apt-get source linux-image-$(uname - | 01:30 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, what? fake what? | 01:30 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: all terminal commands | 01:31 |
| meekwarrior | is anyone here good with #C, i have a quick question and everyone in #C is busy | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | durt: sure, add the blacklist line to one of the files there, or make your own (weirdly the file has to end in .conf) | 01:31 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: ^last 5 lines | 01:31 |
| meekwarrior | simple begginer questoin | 01:31 |
| Sary | it's a Family LG Notbook , stuck on the Kubuntu installation window.KM0201 | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | meekwarrior: this is ubuntu support only, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:31 |
| durt | ActionParsnip, yep, thx, IIRC I've done this before for some reason long ago. | 01:32 |
| KM0201 | Sary: oh ok.. well, thats cuz kubuntu sucks.... should've went w/ Ubuntu | 01:32 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, fakeroot debian/rules clean gives error on line 176 of debian/rules | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !blacklist | durt | 01:32 |
| ubottu | durt: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 01:32 |
| AkakuMatt | If i want to use a hostname instead of a IP address Locally on my network what file do i need to edit? | 01:32 |
| rigved | ejv: when i plug the cd into my desktop, i get a message that a cd with a package manager has been mounted. if i do the same for my ubuntu-server (only CLI), will that also work in the same way? also, there's nothing different about my sources.list | 01:33 |
| Sary | KM0201, They asked for a Linux/Windows like .. so the first thing i recall was Kubuntu. :D | 01:33 |
| thethinker | what is "people nearby" in ubuntu 10.10? | 01:33 |
| ryan__ | Would it be better to run WoW on Wine 1.3.9 or 1.2.1? | 01:33 |
| KM0201 | Sary: kubuntu is not windows like. | 01:33 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: you ran the previous 3 ? | 01:33 |
| meekwarrior | run wow on XP dualboot | 01:33 |
| Sary | KM0201, i meant KDE. | 01:33 |
| AuroraX | nemewsys:/$ fakeroot debian/rules clean | 01:33 |
| AuroraX | /usr/bin/fakeroot: linha 176: debian/rules: Ficheiro ou directoria inexistente | 01:33 |
| meekwarrior | with cata its terrible with wine | 01:33 |
| ryan__ | Defeats my object of using Ubuntu. | 01:33 |
| KM0201 | Sary: people just think it is, because they think "K"= "Start"... truth is.. the similarities are only cosmetic | 01:33 |
| meekwarrior | i use xp for wow and itunes | 01:33 |
| thethinker | itunes? | 01:34 |
| KM0201 | Sary: frankly, if KDE was th eonly GUI for Linux, I'd use WIndows... KDE is totally slow. | 01:34 |
| meekwarrior | to sync ipod | 01:34 |
| mikel | AkakuMatt: edit /etc/hosts to map hostnames to IPs on your local machine. | 01:34 |
| Sary | They Dislike the Gnome-top panel , don't know why though. | 01:34 |
| ryan__ | Rhythm box is perfect, and I've ad working on previous versions, and I've seen WoW run on 10.10 fine, I just need to get it working. | 01:34 |
| DasEi | !ipod | meekwarrior | 01:34 |
| ubottu | meekwarrior: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 01:34 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r) apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) says that he cant find the right package | 01:34 |
| Sary | KM0201, True. | 01:34 |
| thethinker | doesn't rythmbox do that? | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Sary: i always delete it personally, Gnome can have 1 panel :) | 01:34 |
| ryan__ | had WoW working* | 01:34 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: you ran the previous 3 ? from the pastebin ? | 01:34 |
| AkakuMatt | mikel Thanks | 01:34 |
| rigved | Sary: it does not suppport global menus, that's why | 01:34 |
| meekwarrior | it runs fine, but the grapihcs are all buggy, inless you have a good card i suppose | 01:35 |
| KM0201 | DasEi: some ipods don't work well w/ Ubuntu... as much as I hate iTunes.. if it's being used to Sync an Ipod.. it's the only game in town IMO.. | 01:35 |
| meekwarrior | but since CATA wow wasnt playable | 01:35 |
| DasEi | KM0201: yupp | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan__: i'd ask in #wine | 01:35 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, what pastbin? | 01:35 |
| sacarlson | AkakuMatt: on the whole network or just that single ubuntu box? if just one box then add a line to /etc/hosts file, if the whole network then you might need something like custome bind9 configs | 01:35 |
| KM0201 | meekwarrior: what graphics?.. under Linux? | 01:35 |
| meekwarrior | whats yoru problem ryan? | 01:35 |
| themiddleman | ActionParsnip: thanks wodks great! | 01:35 |
| Alan502 | Can somebody help me assigning multiple joypad buttons to a keyboard key? | 01:35 |
| DasEi | DasEi: AuroraX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545116/ | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | themiddleman: simple stuff kiddo | 01:35 |
| meekwarrior | i sent 3 days tring to get wow to work on wine | 01:35 |
| meekwarrior | spent* | 01:35 |
| KM0201 | meekwarrior: wine is one fo those apps, when ti works, it usually works pretty good, when it fails, it's usually spectactular | 01:36 |
| KM0201 | i use Pokerstars w/ wine.. and it works perfect | 01:36 |
| ryan__ | meekwarrior: launcher works fine, and with the ability to play mid-update in 4.x launcher, I click to play, whilst it's updating. It crashes for a minute or two, then the graphis are extremely skewed and distorted. | 01:36 |
| Dongs123 | iv just installed a program do i need to reboot to get it to work now ? | 01:36 |
| Sary | much appreciate it guys , i'll move on installing Ubuntu. | 01:37 |
| Dongs123 | i cant see it on the desktop so i dont know if it worked yet | 01:37 |
| ryan__ | Tried with wine versions 1.3.9 and 1.2.1 in XP mode and 7 mode, and windowed and non windowed and emulated desktop. does the same. | 01:37 |
| himuraken_ | Dongs123, what di you install? | 01:37 |
| himuraken_ | did* | 01:37 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: we seem to have lost.. now whole story is you don't want to install a certain module from the sources, but follow a hinting tut to write a devicedriver and haven't compiled at all.. I can give you the link for modules, so you least can do the pre-setup, more is behind my scope in here | 01:37 |
| TrollTroller | [19:31]<himuraken>Man I threw you a softball in #ubuntu earlier peterm123, and you didnt swing | 01:37 |
| TrollTroller | [19:31]<himuraken>Told you to try Lynx instead of Internet Explorer | 01:37 |
| TrollTroller | [19:31]<himuraken>peterm123, you were earlier | 01:37 |
| TrollTroller | [19:33]<LOOGi3>one time, I hacked this kid so hard, he shit his pants, then I hacked Walmart, so he couldn't buy any more underwear | 01:37 |
| TrollTroller | [19:33]<peterm123>himuraken set me up againt in #ubuntu | 01:37 |
| FloodBot4 | TrollTroller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:37 |
| meekwarrior | ryan__ did you turn off all effcts on compiz | 01:37 |
| meekwarrior | if you have it | 01:38 |
| Sary | Wow, tried all those F6 options on Kubuntu , non worked! | 01:38 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Dongs123: try in Applications menu. | 01:38 |
| Sary | BRB. | 01:38 |
| ryan__ | meekwarrior I'll give that a go, thanks. | 01:38 |
| TrollTroller | .. | 01:38 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:38 |
| mikel | Dongs123: it depends on the software. Some packages will put a new item into your Applications menu, others you can only access by the commandline | 01:38 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 01:39 |
| himuraken_ | Dongs123, WHich app did you install? That will help us tell you where to find the program | 01:39 |
| vbabiy | any one know how to disable setting mode in xorg I keep seeing this in my xorg.log http://dpaste.com/287893/ and my screen flickers | 01:39 |
| mikel | You should never need to reboot to see a newly installed app though. That's a very windows idea | 01:39 |
| ryan__ | meekwarrior i also haven't updated my files from since i first installed it - this morning - should i update everything, too? | 01:39 |
| TrollTroller | Hey guys, where can I buy Ubuntu? I went to Best Buy, and the guys over there laughed at me. | 01:39 |
| ryan__ | installed maverick, i mean. | 01:39 |
| Dongs123 | aircrack | 01:39 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, What is "sudo apt-get install git-core libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev" ? | 01:39 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:39 |
| meekwarrior | ryan__ yea i would | 01:39 |
| IdleOne | KM0201: whats so funny? | 01:40 |
| KM0201 | IdleOne: trolltroller's comment about best buy (I have a special hatred for best buy) | 01:40 |
| mikel | TrollTroller: you can buy it online at http://goatkcd.com | 01:40 |
| himuraken_ | Dongs123, are you new to linux? | 01:40 |
| Dongs123 | linux is nothing like windows, i hered it was similar | 01:40 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, do i really need all this to go trought that tutorial i linked you? | 01:40 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: git-administration and libraries and... really I think you do an overdrive | 01:40 |
| meekwarrior | its morelike a mac if anything | 01:40 |
| ryan__ | meekwarrior yeah, over 200 updates - i'll be about 10 minutes. | 01:40 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: whoever told you that lied.. | 01:40 |
| himuraken_ | meekwarrior, dont say shit like that. | 01:40 |
| meekwarrior | haha | 01:40 |
| systemg33k | how do i kill a process? | 01:41 |
| AuroraX | pkill <processname> | 01:41 |
| LovePlus | Hey, I'm thinking about using Ubuntu, does it has Japanese charecter support? | 01:41 |
| himuraken_ | Dongs123, what are you wanting to use aircrack for? Did you compile it from source? | 01:41 |
| LovePlus | or do I have to use aJap. Version? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | systemg33k: you can pres ALT+F2 and run xkill then click the app to kill it | 01:41 |
| meekwarrior | or use system montier | 01:41 |
| systemg33k | how do i get a list of process names? | 01:41 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: if you're up to do a devicedriver, maybe need some reading, apt-cache show PaketName tells you about it | 01:41 |
| Dongs123 | i want to test the security on my router | 01:41 |
| AuroraX | ps -u | 01:41 |
| LovePlus | Hey, I'm thinking about using Ubuntu, does it has Japanese character support? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | systemg33k: or you can run: ps -ef | grep appname then run: kill -9 PID PID will be the leftmost number | 01:41 |
| meekwarrior | id get backtrack 4 dongle | 01:41 |
| Alan502 | Xev doesn't capture my joypad events. Is it even possible? | 01:42 |
| DasEi | LovePlus: yupp | 01:42 |
| mikel | Dongs123: aircrack-ng is a command-line application. you're not going to be able to do anything useful with it until you're more experienced with Linux. Trust me on this | 01:42 |
| Dongs123 | oh so its not GUI | 01:42 |
| LovePlus | last time, i couldn't find it, then I went back to ChromeOS, DasEi | 01:42 |
| rigved | LovePlus: install the japanese language pack and then set the keyboard layout to a japanese keyboard. that's all that | 01:42 |
| LovePlus | ***windows, not ChromeOS. lol | 01:42 |
| LovePlus | where do I get it | 01:42 |
| rigved | *is required ^^ | 01:42 |
| meekwarrior | is anyone here good with ansi c | 01:43 |
| meekwarrior | i have a quick questoin | 01:43 |
| systemg33k | Dongs123: search for gui for aircrack linux | 01:43 |
| Cha0s2358 | histo, hey bud wanna help me out with that partitioning | 01:43 |
| systemg33k | Dongs123: there is a gui application for it somewhere i saw yesterday | 01:43 |
| DasEi | LovePlus: language-support-ja | 01:43 |
| Cha0s2358 | histo im have a problem | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | why need a gui, it may not allow you to enable / disable all the options | 01:43 |
| Dongs123 | is there a way to run linux apps within windows ? | 01:43 |
| himuraken_ | systemg33k, ever think that if the guy isnt smart enough to find an installed program, he probably shouldnt run aircrack? | 01:43 |
| Dongs123 | i think tht wuld suite me more | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Dongs123: you can find a windows port | 01:44 |
| meekwarrior | vmware | 01:44 |
| meekwarrior | basicly | 01:44 |
| DasEi | Dongs123: hardly, in a vm | 01:44 |
| himuraken_ | systemg33k, he just made my point.... | 01:44 |
| DasEi | !pm | AuroraX | 01:44 |
| ubottu | AuroraX: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 01:44 |
| ChrosHonson | hey guys, i just installled ubuntu and i was wondering what the best anti-virus software was. i downloaded norton becauase thats what i always used with windows but i can't get it to install. is there something i need to do to get norton to work with ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Dongs123: or if you connect to an SSH server with x forwarding, the app can appear on the desktop but will really be running on the remote system | 01:44 |
| Cha0s2358 | ActionParsnip, youve helped me with a few things would you by chance know anything about dual booting and partitioning ? | 01:44 |
| meekwarrior | lol | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: there is no single best anything in life | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: so there is no single best AV | 01:44 |
| meekwarrior | ChrosHonson you dont really need one in ubuntu | 01:45 |
| ChrosHonson | but what will i do about viruses? | 01:45 |
| mikel | ChrosHonson: goddomot fronk | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: Norton is for Windows, there are open source AV solutions on the repos | 01:45 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, your pvt bot is messing me up | 01:45 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: stop pm'ing me, please, and see sentry | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !virus | ChrosHonson | 01:45 |
| himuraken_ | Unless you are running an MTA and want to filter for Windows hosts ActionParsnip | 01:45 |
| ubottu | ChrosHonson: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:45 |
| etheretic | "enable networking" still greyed out. | 01:45 |

| himuraken_ | ActionParsnip, are you kidding me? | 01:46 |
| IdleOne | mikel: English please | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | himuraken_: no, why is it so outrageous? | 01:46 |
| folklore | just like to say to all ubuntu volunteers and members, I appreciate the hardwork you do, you're all all-stars, thanks | 01:46 |
| rocktop | how to create a secured user and its ftp account ? | 01:46 |
| himuraken_ | If and this is far out, you could run Norton on Linux, why would you? and it would just break wine | 01:46 |
| rocktop | under ssh | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | himuraken_: like I said, it is a windows app, but there are opensource solutions on the repos.. | 01:46 |
| nit-wit | Cha0s2358, sent you a pm | 01:46 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, i used the cache command, no useful info was given by apt | 01:46 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, look, http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux?page=0,1 | 01:46 |
| mikel | IdleOne: That was english, only with all the vowels switched to o. Our friend Chros is clearly visiting from /b/ | 01:47 |
| sacarlson | rocktop: System>admin>user group>add | 01:47 |
| ChrosHonson | well i got rid of my windows so i could learn linux, but my friend told me that i better get an anti-virus because linux has a lot of viruses. also i want to make sure i get norton working before i install quickbooks because i run a small business and i heard linux was better for businesses | 01:47 |
| Cha0s2358 | nit-wit, replying | 01:47 |
| himuraken_ | ActionParsnip, I understand, but overmymudkips I would not run Norton. | 01:47 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, for that tutorial i need this «Since the release of kernel version 2.6.x, compiling modules has become slightly more complicated. First, you need to have a complete, compiled kernel source-code-tree. If you have a Debian Sarge system, you can follow the steps in Appendix B (towards the end of this article). In the following, I’ll assume that a kernel version 2.6.8 is being used.» | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: tell your friend s/he knows nothing | 01:47 |
| rocktop | sacarlson, under ssh | 01:47 |
| meekwarrior | http://pastebin.com/NsvXMGZn | 01:47 |
| IdleOne | mikel: stop trolling the trolls, makes it easier for me to not ban you. | 01:47 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: again, this is behind my scope here, and I doubt you even worked through the link I gave you | 01:47 |
| meekwarrior | can anyone find anything wrong with this http://pastebin.com/NsvXMGZn | 01:47 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, just that, nothing more, i dont want to hack the kernel that much for today :/ | 01:47 |
| sacarlson | rocktop: apt-get install ssh if you didn't already do that | 01:47 |
| mikel | ok :( | 01:48 |
| etheretic | Wifi is kaput, and "enable networking" is greyed out after a hard reset. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't work. | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: read the link ubottu gave, there are less than a handful of linux 'viruses' none are wild and are made in labs to test stuff, you neededn't worry. Just use Ubuntu as it is supposed to be and it'll be fine | 01:48 |
| rocktop | sacarlson, I am now in ssh | 01:48 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, i made the 2 of 3 commands you gave on that link, the 3rd one asks me to download 800mb :O | 01:48 |
| ChrosHonson | ok can you help me install quickbooks? im sorry im really new at this | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | etheretic: run: sudo lshw -C network and websearch for the product line in the output to find guides | 01:48 |
| sacarlson | rocktop: so it must work then | 01:48 |
| Srin | I heard the FBI gave everyone who was using a linux a virus yesterday!? | 01:48 |

| se7en | etheretic, im out of ideas :( | 01:49 |
| Srin | I don't want anyone putting anything in my backdoor... | 01:49 |
| bazhang | Srin, offtopic here | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Dongs123: you can use MD5 testing to test the ISO you downloaded | 01:49 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: it's unlikely a bad rip, if it installed properly.... what exact problem are you having? | 01:49 |
| Dongs123 | if i went to a PC store would they have ubuntu ? | 01:49 |
| etheretic | ActionParsnip: i'll try that, bb soonish. | 01:49 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: I have no problem in helping as I can, if you want to write a devicedriver, I can guide you the direction, but you will have to read more than I can type | 01:49 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: very unlikely.... | 01:50 |
| instabin | is there a channel for ubuntu server | 01:50 |
| industry__ | there are _rumors_ that there's a backdoor in the bsd ssl code | 01:50 |
| KM0201 | !md5 | Dongs123 | 01:50 |
| ubottu | Dongs123: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:50 |
| Dongs123 | well it slows down and my cd drive spins up | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Dongs123: they may have a CD you can copy from them for the cost of the disk | 01:50 |
| Dongs123 | its really slow also | 01:50 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, what do you mean by that? | 01:50 |
| DasEi | instabin: #ubunut-server | 01:50 |
| instabin | DasEi: thank you | 01:50 |
| DasEi | instabin: #ubuntu-server * | 01:50 |
| KM0201 | Dongs123: what version of ubuntu did you download?... | 01:50 |
| sacarlson | rocktop: there is also useradd so man useradd I"m not sure that the difference is | 01:50 |
| Dongs123 | live something | 01:50 |
| Dongs123 | it seemd to install fine tho | 01:50 |
| ChrosHonson | thanks ActionParsnip...that should help a lot. i have another question actually. i need to use outlook to get all of my emails, is there a version of outlook for ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| KM0201 | 'live something'.. well there's an explanation if i ever heard one | 01:51 |
| ChrosHonson | actually the whole office program would be good | 01:51 |
| r0z4 | hi every body somebody can help with ubuntu, sometimes i click menu and nothing write and nothing i have to restart giving in the bottom directly | 01:51 |
| Dongs123 | not on my windows machine | 01:51 |
| OvermindDL1 | Greetings. I am running Ubuntu on a remote server, it has an NTFS drive mounted in it, I needed to remote reboot it but it did not come up after a few minutes, waited another hour and still not up, apparently, come to find out, it is on a screen that says that the NTFS drive that is auto-mounted in fstab did not come up and says press s to continue, well I cannot do that remotely (and cannot drive out there for a while yet), any t | 01:51 |
| m_tadeu | I was trying some stuff from a repository. how do I rollback? | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: you can use evolution or thunderbird or any of the many email clients, you need to let go of the windows apron strings dude | 01:51 |
| nit-wit | ubottu, whats the image site | 01:52 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:52 |
| KM0201 | m_tadeu: well, that depends on what the repository did.... you can uninstall the apps, and remove the repo. | 01:52 |
| KM0201 | !screenshot | nit-wit | 01:52 |
| ubottu | nit-wit: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. | 01:52 |
| ChrosHonson | ActionParsnip, what do you mean by thunderbird? | 01:52 |
| Srin | ChrosHonson: I think OpenOrifice can help you. | 01:52 |
| Dongs123 | whats a live cd ? | 01:52 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: do the needed pre-setup and ask for people writing device-drivers, behind my scope in here | 01:52 |
| himuraken_ | ChrosHonson, if you must run those apps, you may want to try wine, or crossover office | 01:52 |
| bazhang | Srin, stop that | 01:52 |
| Flannel | Srin: Please stop. | 01:52 |
| ChrosHonson | thanks srin ill google openorifice now | 01:52 |
| Srin | Just double check and make sure your copy of OpenOrifice doesn't have any open backdoors. | 01:52 |
| industry__ | overmind: in your fstab make use of the "errors" option to deal with failed mounts | 01:52 |
| sacarlson | OvermindDL1: can't you get your momy to do it? without a serial console or something connected I can't think of anything | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | thanks IdleOne | 01:53 |
| himuraken_ | Enough of the trolls | 01:53 |
| ChrosHonson | what the heck i googled for openorifice and it led me to a porn site. just what kind of sick people are you linux users? | 01:53 |
| himuraken_ | ChrosHonson, you should really switch to open apps, and ignore that guy | 01:53 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, i dont get it, anyway im installing that huge 800mb of your 3rd line "sudo apt-get install git-core libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev" | 01:54 |
| tgp1994 | Is anyone aware of a WMI client for ubuntu 10.04?\ | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | tgp1994: what's WMI? | 01:54 |
| r0z4 | hi every body somebody can help with ubuntu, sometimes i click menu and nothing write and nothing i have to restart giving button directly | 01:54 |
| tgp1994 | ActionParsnip: Windows Management Instrumentation. There's a client for ubuntu 9~, but from what I can tell, it wasn't carried over past that. | 01:54 |
| m_tadeu | KM0201: it was the beta version of kde...not an application that I can just remove | 01:55 |
| KM0201 | m_tadeu: good luck. :) | 01:55 |
| m_tadeu | KM0201: hehe thanx | 01:55 |
| se7en | aurora, 800mb? wow. | 01:55 |
| AuroraX | yes... | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tgp1994: could try a java client maybe, i see it in the hardy repo | 01:56 |
| AuroraX | i just wanna make a simple device driver, but kernel borucracy doesnt let me :'( | 01:56 |
| r0z4 | hi everybody pls somebody can help with ubuntu, sometimes i click menu and nothing write and nothing i have to restart giving button directly | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | r0z4: does the click work elsewhere | 01:57 |
| tgp1994 | ActionParsnip: Ya, I saw it in the hardy repo too :\ Is Java the only option right now? | 01:57 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: that's a too advanced task for this channel, #ubuntu-kernel and #ubuntu-devel are there, but maybe you should do some research before on your own | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tgp1994: could try the hardy deb maybe | 01:57 |
| tgp1994 | ActionParsnip: Alright, I'll give it a shot, thanks./ | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tgp1994: if not, use a java client is all I can suggest | 01:57 |
| se7en | i did that one when i had 2.4 kernel | 01:58 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, completing this requirement is to hard? «Since the release of kernel version 2.6.x, compiling modules has become slightly more complicated. First, you need to have a complete, compiled kernel source-code-tree. If you have a Debian Sarge system, you can follow the steps in Appendix B (towards the end of this article). In the following, I’ll assume that a kernel version 2.6.8 is being used.» | 01:58 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip, well i can open application but i cant work in them | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | r0z4: hmm, strange | 01:58 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, because it is the only time that the tutorial reffers to the kernel | 01:58 |
| Dongs123 | can i still watch porn on ubuntu ? | 01:58 |
| se7en | lemme check my old notes | 01:58 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: I don't want to bother you, but it's like you want to have a race with third week of license, build-essential > compiling > own module | 01:58 |
| bazhang | !guidelines > Dongs123 | 01:58 |
| ubottu | Dongs123, please see my private message | 01:58 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip, i cant do anithing i have to restart directly with the button | 01:58 |
| se7en | yes you can watch porn, | 01:59 |
| MarcA128000 | I've got a pretty decent issue going on | 01:59 |
| ChrosHonson | can someone explain to me what a colonel is exactly? ive heard it a few times lately and i just cant figure out what one is | 01:59 |
| bazhang | !kernel > ChrosHonson | 01:59 |
| ubottu | ChrosHonson, please see my private message | 01:59 |
| Dongs123 | oh cool wanna have a wank tonight | 01:59 |
| MarcA128000 | ChrosHonson, You are looking for Kernel | 01:59 |
| bazhang | Dongs123, stop that | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | r0z4: if the keyboard still works press CTRL+ALT+T and run: dmesg | tail hard powering off will damage ram and you r HDD so I dont reccommend you do that | 02:00 |
| aeon-ltd | don't feed the trolls | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | why is it trollfest tonight? | 02:00 |
| ChrosHonson | oh its spelled kernel...wow i feel stupid | 02:00 |
| MarcA128000 | I've broken my 10.04 install and my home directory is ecrypted. I can't for the life of me figure out how to unlock it | 02:00 |
| MarcA128000 | ChrosHonson, No problem. Everybody was new at some time | 02:00 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip, what do ctrl alt t do? | 02:00 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, please take a look at that page of the tutorial, is it really really hard to do just that page? http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux?page=0,1 | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | r0z4: opens a terminal | 02:02 |
| se7en | what was the device again aurora? | 02:02 |
| MarcA128000 | Anybody have any experience with ecrypt access from a livecd? | 02:02 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip ctrl alt t doesnt work now | 02:03 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, please? +.+ | 02:03 |
| Flannel | MarcA128000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Data%20Manually might be able to help | 02:03 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip now i can work i dont now when will crash again | 02:03 |
| DasEi | AuroraX: last answer from in here: no, it's just a wide knowledge about libs, c, c++, compiling, The first byte of the parallel port and its pin connections with the external female D-25 connector, and few others, so let's start with build-essential, what is that ;; you must be kidding with that question, sry, neither want to offend you nor can I take that seriously | 02:04 |
| AkakuMatt | How do i assign a domain name to my server in the hosts file? or hostname? i tryied adding (ip address) (desired URL) to hosts but it did not work | 02:04 |
| MarcA128000 | Flannel, Hrm, thats a guide I hadn't seen yet. I'll give it a shot | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | r0z4: does the output give any clues about the mouse? | 02:04 |
| ChrosHonson | i dont think im going to get this ubuntu thing any time soon...is there a way to have both windows and ubuntu on the same computer? or am i just being way too optimistic? | 02:06 |
| systemg33k | ChrosHonson>possible | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ChrosHonson: sure, you can dual boot | 02:06 |
| anygivenname | I have stopped samba but it starts again after a reboot.....how do I stop that ? | 02:06 |
| AuroraX | DasEi, ok... im waiting for that 800mb instalation to finish | 02:06 |
| bazhang | !manual | ChrosHonson | 02:06 |

| systemg33k | What program is there to listen to radio with? | 02:07 |
| anygivenname | I have stopped samba but it starts again after a reboot.....how do I stop that ? | 02:08 |
| DasEi | systemg33k: I use streamtuner and amarok a lot, vlc if url is known | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | r0z4: seems fine dude | 02:09 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip but this is now that is working fine | 02:09 |
| r0z4 | ActionParsnip but i found this [ 1.197774] PM: Resume from disk failed. | 02:10 |
| se7en | ok i found it | 02:10 |
| se7en | i installed a sis 190 driver back then | 02:10 |
| systemg33k | DasEi: know one that plays FM channels? or do those also? | 02:11 |
| Sary | Back. | 02:11 |
| se7en | /usr/src/cd linux-source | 02:11 |
| Sary | Unity required a driver ! | 02:12 |
| DasEi | systemg33k: many radiostations provide stream, or do you speak of a receicer-card | 02:12 |
| systemg33k | DasEi: no reciever card | 02:13 |
| systemg33k | DaSEi: receicer* | 02:13 |
| DasEi | systemg33k: receiver, y, many s stations stream via urls | 02:13 |
| systemg33k | I like foxytunes stations but it's a plugin for browser. | 02:13 |
| systemg33k | Ya I want a seperate program. | 02:14 |
| DasEi | as said, streamtuner, amarok, audacious, many players can read stream | 02:14 |

| birdinatux | I want to uninstall the nvidia drivers and go back to the ones installed with ubuntu 10.10 how do I do this? | 02:14 |
| sbeck_ | Who has activated this check ? | 02:15 |
| DasEi | systemg33k: or even winamp , if you're after the urls just | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | birdinatux: use the hardware tool and disable the driver | 02:15 |
| systemg33k | DasEi: ya i was hoping i'd find a certain HD2 radio station that's on Foxytunes(Yahoo messenger plugin). No luck. | 02:15 |
| itaylor57 | ActionParsnip: I have become a chromium user now :>) | 02:16 |
| DasEi | systemg33k: no homepage with a link provided ? | 02:16 |
| breakdaddy | Chromium! | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | itaylor57: nice :) | 02:16 |
| systemg33k | DasEi: Homepage for original radio station not the HD2 station | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: do you use chromium, or the chrome you download from Google?(I dont see much difference) | 02:16 |
| sbeck_ | @ops: Who has activated this Floodbot to kick users and force them to register or answer a question ? | 02:16 |
| systemg33k | DasEi: too much talk on the original station | 02:16 |
| r0z4 | my problem doesnt have solution??? i cant mix it!!! plsssssss | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | sbeck_: it's becuase you get kicked and autosign back in | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: i use chromium daily build via ppa | 02:17 |
| KM0201 | i see | 02:17 |
| sbeck_ | I appreciated that I didn't have to register. | 02:17 |
| sbeck_ | But if I'm forced to register I'll goo. | 02:17 |
| sbeck_ | go | 02:17 |
| KM0201 | sbeck_: registering is free, and takes like 5ssec | 02:17 |
| sbeck_ | But it's not necessary. | 02:17 |
| eternicode | is there any reason not to do an upgrade by editing apt's sources.list then doing a simple update && dist-upgrade? | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: as well as arora for quick and dirty stuff | 02:18 |
| sbeck_ | Why should I do ? | 02:18 |
| KM0201 | lol | 02:18 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: and you get 100% off of the cost of unbuntu when you register | 02:18 |
| KM0201 | sbeck_: well, it's not necessary no.. but if you do, you won't get the questino you're complaining about. | 02:18 |
| DasEi | eternicode: no, that's the common way | 02:18 |
| breakdaddy | Im such noobchowder | 02:18 |
| sbeck_ | KM0201, it doesn't give me a adbvantage but I have to use another account. | 02:18 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: lol, does that mean canonical will send me a blank cd? | 02:18 |

| sbeck_ | But if I'm forced to register I'll leave. | 02:21 |
| KM0201 | sbeck_: nobody is forcing you to register.. but don't complain when you have to do things, that someone who is not registerd, doesn't have to do | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sbeck_: you dont have to but it lets us know you are you | 02:22 |
| KM0201 | sbeck_: being "forced" to register... means you couldn't ask/answer questions, w/o registering | 02:22 |
| sbeck_ | Well, I don't want to register as I can't see any advantage to me. I also can't see why you suddenly activated ths check. But if you want to keep it activated so I'll have to register OR answer a question I'll go. | 02:24 |

| * jmad980 missed the question but also notes that he's had good luck with ath9k as well | 02:27 | |
| KM0201 | jmad980: yeah, it seems very problematic right now | 02:27 |
| jmad980 | ath9k? | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | etheretic: thats all I know, i always compile the driver myself that way, maybe others can contribute | 02:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | !hostname | AkakuMatt | 02:28 |
| ubottu | AkakuMatt: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 02:28 |
| KM0201 | jmad980: ath9k is to set up some of the newer atheros wireless devices | 02:28 |
| etheretic | ActionParsnip: and it skirts the fact that "enable networking" is greyed out. | 02:28 |
| jmad980 | KM0201: yeah, I've been using it for a while, tho on some of the older kernels I had problems with it | 02:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | AkakuMatt, keep in mind the above only applies to your hostname, and not domain - not sure how that's dealt with, sorry. best of luck. | 02:29 |
| KM0201 | jmad980: does it work now?.. which ath9 device do you have? | 02:29 |
| jmad980 | nowadays I've been connected to IRC for over a week without it dieing on me | 02:29 |

| Stormx2 | KrashKing, you can netboot but it tends to be a pain in the arse | 02:38 |
| DasEi | KrashKing: just make sure using generic kernel, so get all, not just the particular needed ones | 02:38 |
| etheretic | KM0201: 10.10 - it worked fine b4 the hard reset (had a lockup/freeze) | 02:38 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: well, try powering down, off for 10sec, power back up | 02:39 |
| weside | okay i do have a general ubuntu question, I am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop, and yeah, when i am at the sreen preparing to install ubuntu, with the check list of things, hit the forward button, and it hangs up?, any suggestion?.. | 02:39 |
| DasEi | KrashKing: no, can go with minimal or alternate cd on a different box then the lappi is, with it's hd hooked up there; maybe pull the other drives then, for failsafe | 02:39 |
| papna | I'm running 10.04 and I periodically have a problem where I am unable to alt-tab or switch to a window by clicking. I'm sometimes unable to manipulate the apparent current window by clicking either. I have visual effects off and my mouse is fine. If I restart X, things work again. | 02:39 |
| etheretic | KM0201: done that - unplugged and removed battery as well (laptop). | 02:40 |
| KrashKing | no other comp that would use the drive | 02:40 |
| KrashKing | amd a SOL? | 02:40 |
| KrashKing | err | 02:40 |
| KrashKing | am I | 02:40 |
| dmiles_afk | goodness sopmeone with a beefy ubuntu isntall can they do a "du -h /lib" ? | 02:40 |
| DasEi | KrashKing: can you free the hd from the lappi ? | 02:40 |
| dmiles_afk | i want to confirm is arround 15m | 02:41 |
| KrashKing | yeah | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: i really don't know, doesn't make much sense | 02:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | dmiles_afk, mines 183M /lib - but it's going to depend on what is installed! | 02:41 |
| bastidrazor | dmiles_afk: 389MB | 02:41 |
| KrashKing | just no other comp that I have can use a laptop HDD | 02:41 |
| steiner | i have gotten to ubuntu computers to connect together via ssh but when i restart the computers i have to reenter the ip addresses. Is there anyway for them to automatically connect? | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: but i have had that happen before, and usually poweering down, then back up, worked fine.. but it was ages ago that it happened | 02:41 |
| itaylor57 | thethinker: go to prefrerences mail html and click download images always | 02:41 |
| MarkSS | What is the quickest way to tell if I have a backdoor on my Ubuntu box? | 02:41 |
| dmiles_afk | ok thanks you guys .. i see | 02:42 |
| etheretic | KM0201: yes. but this doesn't seem to go away by itself. | 02:42 |
| dmiles_afk | so even after i get the machine booting again means i have to reinastall with apt-get about everyhting | 02:42 |
| bastidrazor | steiner: you could add the box to /etc/hosts ::IP HOSTNAME and use ssh HOSTNAME | 02:42 |
| DasEi | !who | KrashKing | 02:42 |
| ubottu | KrashKing: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:43 |
| dmiles_afk | (i acidently "rm -rf lib") tryio to kill "rm -rf ~/lib" | 02:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | MarkSS, you probably don't! but from a terminal run "apt-cache search rootkit" and see some root kit scan tools in the default install. best of luck. it's highly unlikely you would get something remotely (but not impossible) | 02:43 |
| DasEi | KrashKing: there are real cheap adaptors | 02:43 |
| jmad980 | dmiles_afk: D: | 02:43 |
| Chewarrior | frdsgdf | 02:43 |
| Chewarrior | Ola | 02:43 |
| KrashKing | DasEi: can the older versions [6.x] upgrade to the new 10? | 02:43 |
| * dmiles_afk goes back to setitng up the expwerment machibne to break/fix.. so i can try to fix the real machine | 02:43 | |
| DasEi | dmiles_afk: about 500meg on a semi-beefy | 02:44 |
| etheretic | KM0201: ubuntu leaves something to be desired re. wifi - far too easy to mess up. | 02:44 |
| dmiles_afk | i cant find an apt-get for myphpadmin.. wanting to see after i rm -rf /lib that i can restore | 02:44 |
| dmiles_afk | oh for ubunto 9.10 | 02:45 |
| DasEi | KrashKing: could, if you are free of time, nah better do a fresh install, though lts.. 8.04 to 10.04 works, not sure 6.04 | 02:45 |
| itaylor57 | etheretic: wifi is always problematic | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: eh... i've used Ubuntu(and other linux distros) for years, and my wireless has usually only broke while using Beta's. | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: just because it happens to you, doesn't mean it's a huge massive problem | 02:45 |
| * jmad980 hasn't had problems with wifi in the last 3 years | 02:45 | |
| jmad980 | well... sorta | 02:45 |
| jmad980 | ;) | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: i disagree.. most o them are fairly easy to set up, if they are not the "latest greatest" | 02:45 |
| itaylor57 | etheretic: just my fios router not ubuntu | 02:46 |
| jmad980 | ahh | 02:46 |
| etheretic | KM0201: i mean it's way to go b4 it's granny-friendly. shouldn't have to be a nerd to use it. | 02:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | etheretic, so file a bug. it's the possibility of contributing that makes open source great. | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: naa...not at all... if my parents can use it, anyone can | 02:47 |
| steiner | bastidrazor: i found the file but how exactly do i add it? | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: if manufacturers would release easy to install Drivers for Linux, maybe even put them on a CD(like a certain Redmond OS)... then when this stuff happens, you can simply reinstall the driver. | 02:47 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: I meant the above to you its the old verizon fios router that is problematic | 02:47 |
| etheretic | KM0201: s/use/administrate. | 02:48 |
| MisterAnderson | can someone help me with creating a ubuntu live cd? | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: i administrate it from my house...lol | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | MisterAnderson: using WIndows? | 02:48 |
| MisterAnderson | for a mac | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060619181010389 | 02:49 |
| etheretic | KM0201: doing a fresh install to a 2nd partition - see how that goes. | 02:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | MisterAnderson, i've never done it but see the !remaster factoid. good luck. | 02:49 |
| MisterAnderson | I tried doing what the official site said but it didn't work | 02:49 |
| bastidrazor | steiner: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts then at the the bottom add the IP HOSTNAME .. example: 192.168.0.108 servitude : now i can type ssh servitude and it goes to that ip | 02:49 |
| jmad980 | What good is a ubuntu live cd if you can't see </obligatory_matrix_reference> | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: who knows.. | 02:49 |
| AuroraX | hi | 02:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | MisterAnderson, mac adds another dimension i have no experience with! | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | MisterAnderson: is it an intel mac? | 02:50 |
| MisterAnderson | KM0201: yes | 02:50 |
| KM0201 | then what is the problem?.. you don't know how to burn the ISO, or you don't know how to boot it, or what | 02:50 |
| MisterAnderson | well, let me read through this guide, give it another shot, and then i'll come back | 02:51 |
| papna | ZykoticK9: You're burning it FROM a Mac? | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MisterAnderson: sweet nick dude :) | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | MisterAnderson: i'm not a Mac guy... but it's pretty clear | 02:51 |
| jmad980 | prolly a key combination or something to boot from disk | 02:51 |
| MisterAnderson | ActionParsnip: yeah I can't believe it wasn't taken | 02:51 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: I tried to use Darwin on a PPC, thats why I am here on a Lemur Ultrathin from System76, and it rocks | 02:51 |
| jasonmchristos | ActionParsnip: where do i file an empathy bug? | 02:52 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | MisterAnderson: surely you need a mic too for when you enter ;) | 02:52 |
| MisterAnderson | KM0201: Actually I remember now, it wasn't booting up with it | 02:52 |

| etheretic | KM0201: i'm thinking of how linux could make redmond/bill go foom - and that's through user friendliness and reliability (apart from being free). | 02:53 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: well, it's plenty reliable, and it's pretty user friendly... | 02:53 |
| Sary | Definitely , a driver related issue! | 02:54 |

| stormzen | I've been unable to boot 10.4 LTS on a laptop since I changed the resolution of the splash screen. I keep getting a recovery menu. It pops up near the end of the boot cycle whether or not I choose a recovery option from the boot menu, or even whether or not I have the recovery options disabled in the bootup defaults. | 02:54 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: the biggest issue, is manufacturers do not support Linux(usually) so unlike windows, where when you buy a new PC, all the hardware has a specific windows driver, to make it work... and manufactuerers frequently update those drivers on their site. | 02:54 |
| steiner | bastidrazor: is there a way to automatically connect for file sharing and printing? i added it but it seems like tis only for accesing its terminal | 02:54 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: my point is, it's not a Linux issue at all, it's a manufacturer issue.. if every manufacturer released a CD w/ Linux drivers on it, and instructions how to install them... this would likely be one empty channel | 02:55 |
| Sary | KM0201, Very true , mu situation is an example. :D | 02:55 |
| KM0201 | Sary: thats my point, it's not a linux issue at all. | 02:55 |
| KM0201 | people blame it on linux, but it's not a linux issue | 02:56 |
| Sary | Exactly. | 02:56 |
| KM0201 | Sary: etheretic truth be told... th fact that anything at all works w/ Linux, when there is very little development support from manufacturers, is a miracle | 02:56 |
| jasonmchristos | well use open hardware then | 02:56 |
| jasonmchristos | companys arent in business to support linux | 02:56 |
| jasonmchristos | thats extra cost | 02:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sargun, KM0201 jasonmchristos no longer a support issue. getting OT | 02:57 |
| KM0201 | jasonmchristos: i'm not disputing that.. it's just he's blaming linux, and it's not linux that is the problem. | 02:57 |
| Sary | i hate it when they thought it's a "Linux" issue.! | 02:57 |
| snake | What program does GNOME use as a clipboard? Is their a default plain old Linux clipboard. Why does KDE have a Clipboard application. | 02:57 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: Linux is very supported by a few of the big hitters in the industry dude | 02:57 |
| ActionParsnip | snake: you can install parcelite or glipper | 02:57 |
| jasonmchristos | ZykoticK9: OT? | 02:57 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: "a few".... Where as windows is supported "by all"... thats my only point... i'll let it go now, cuz it's drifting | 02:57 |
| etheretic | KM0201: getting there. :-) but it's not quite there yet. Bringing in an easy-to-use backup/system restore (only good function windos has which ubuntu doesn't) would be a major point. | 02:57 |
| KM0201 | etheretic: there's an app for that | 02:58 |
| jasonmchristos | im going back to commador 64 | 02:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | snake, there are more then one clipboard in gnome. it's a mess in many ways. good luck with clipboard issues - i've banged my head on multiple occasions. | 02:58 |

| instabin | Etheretic: Ubuntu has an easy backup / restore | 02:58 |
| stormzen | Does anyone understand why the "recovery menu" would keep popping up, when it's not being requested? | 02:59 |
| instabin | Etheretic: type backup in the package menu | 02:59 |
| stormzen | This appears to be a "ubuntu only" behavior. | 02:59 |

| steiner | bastidrazor: thanks ill check it out | 03:00 |
| stormzen | ActionParsnip, The 'recovery menu' pops up when partitions need fscking? I thought it just popped up a message saying that it needed to be done. | 03:00 |
| etheretic | KM0201: sbacp, backintime? too quirky. tried restoring re. the wifi/nm issue, it complained about wrong version or something. | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | stormzen: not sure but its an intelligent guess | 03:00 |
| stormzen | ActionParsnip, I'm referring the menu that says "recovery menu" on a clear screen with a blue background. | 03:01 |
| ActionParsnip | papna: i'd ask in #compiz if compiz is causing you issues | 03:01 |
| papna | ActionParsnip: I have visual effects off. I'm running metacity. As far as I can tell, I'm not using compiz at all. | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | papna: oh, the way it flowed sounded like you had them on then switched them off to get righted | 03:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | papna, how often is "periodically" exactly? is it when you are running something previously, a game perhaps? it's strange that you are experiencing it with effects off. but i have no suggestions... good luck. | 03:02 |
| papna | ActionParsnip: No. It has been off all along. | 03:02 |

| stormzen | ActionParsnip, I don't understand why it keeps popping up. I'm trying to get the system to a "known good" since I had the issue after changing my splash screen resolution.. so I uninstalled everything desktop that I could think of. ... but now that damned menu is interfering with me seeing other error messages. | 03:02 |
| papna | ZykoticK9: It has happened four or five times since it started like 3 weeks ago. | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | stormzen: i'd run: dmesg | less and see whats going on with the boot | 03:03 |
| * Sary thinking about installing an older version of Ubuntu , then upgrading. | 03:03 | |
| stormzen | ActionParsnip, I did look at the end of dmesg... I don't remember seeing anything helpful. | 03:04 |
| KM0201 | Sary: that has more potential for disaster if you ask me | 03:04 |
| gpa | how do i fix this? ata2.00: SRST failed (errno=-16) , exception Emask 0x0 Sact 0x0 action 0x6 frozen | 03:04 |
| papna | ZykoticK9: I don't play any games. I did a hard reboot today and it was happening when everything came up, but worked when I restarted X. | 03:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | papna, if the problem isn't persistent it difficult to diagnose and you don't know if it's fixed... best of luck. | 03:04 |
| papna | ZykoticK9: I haven't changed anything, so if it stops, I'd hardly call that fixing anything. | 03:05 |
| stormzen | I can't seem to boot the laptop at all, except for single user mode. | 03:05 |
| papna | ZykoticK9: Oh well, if this isn't a recognizable problem *shrug* | 03:05 |
| Sary | KM0201, think so , how about Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)! | 03:05 |
| gpa | how do i fix this? ata2.00: SRST failed (errno=-16) , exception Emask 0x0 Sact 0x0 action 0x6 frozen | 03:06 |
| KM0201 | Sary: why on earth would you do that?.. jaunty is EOL | 03:06 |
| stormzen | ... And then it takes me straight into the "recovery menu", erasing the screen so I can't see the last prompt that fails right before the menu shows. | 03:06 |

| stormzen | Also, I tried googling "Recovery Menu", but those keywords are not very specific... | 03:08 |
| KM0201 | Sary: well what video card do you have? | 03:08 |
| Sary | KM0201, nVidia Geforce 8200M G , on that LG E300. | 03:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | stormzen, what is "recovery menu"? do you mean at the grub prompt? | 03:09 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 03:09 |

| loquitus | I can't find a solution | 03:10 |
| Sary | KM0201, i can't reach to that point , as i'm stuck on the installation Window from the LiveCD. | 03:10 |
| stormzen | ZykoticK9, It just says "Recovery Menu". Options are "resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX, grub, netroot, and root" ... as far as I can tell, it is not related to grub. | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | Sary: use the alt. cd? | 03:10 |
| DasEi | !headers | loquitus | 03:11 |
| ubottu | loquitus: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 03:11 |

| loquitus | DasEi: I did both those commands | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | Sary: eh... i cannever get USB stick to work w/ the alt CD | 03:12 |
| stormzen | ZykoticK9, Yeah, me either. Might be related to Ubuntu not using rc levels the same way every other distro does. Something about upstart? | 03:12 |
| loquitus | the first one says I already have that installed | 03:12 |
| loquitus | the second one could not find anything. | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | Sary: so your CD drive doesn't need it? | 03:12 |

| loquitus | ZykoticK9: where did you get that patch? | 03:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | loquitus, no idea | 03:16 |
| kcorcoran | is there a way to download the updates, that take place immediately after a new installation, and save them to a disc? right now i am in the habit of reinstalling as i am learning ubuntu and ofter mess things up... | 03:16 |

| steiner | is there a simpler way to share files and printers than nfs? | 03:48 |
| DasEi | !samba | steiner | 03:48 |
| ubottu | steiner: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 03:48 |
| DasEi | steiner: or even ssh | 03:49 |
| steiner | they are two ubunto 10.04 machines | 03:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | steiner, i don't think you can share printers with nfs, cups yes. ssh between ubuntu systems is super easy for file sharing (but slower then nfs or samba). samba is your best bet for windows sharing. | 03:49 |
| Auckla | DasEi: Destination host unreachable. | 03:49 |
| DasEi | steiner: doesn't matter, simple is a term of habiit | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Paddy_NI: what file/s do you have? | 03:49 |
| qu1nn1 | newb tried the current ubuntu live on a HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop ...impressed ...wifi, sdcard, got the network share, network printer, all with no problem. Unplugged the AC to run on battery and POW! shut down immediately. Nothing obvious in the power settings, is this a bug? | 03:50 |
| kcorcoran | Paddy_NI: its not a sleep issue, i can be using it and it will happen. | 03:50 |
| Paddy_NI | ActionParsnip, Oh all sorts | 03:50 |
| DasEi | Auckla: wired also ? same router ? | 03:50 |

| ZykoticK9 | steiner, add you mounts to fstab | 03:50 |
| DasEi | steiner: add to fstab | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Paddy_NI: can you use pastebin to give a list, it may help | 03:50 |
| Paddy_NI | kcorcoran, hmm.. I really do think leaving the ping running is your best bet | 03:50 |
| Auckla | DasEi: Because of the topographical location of themachine I am unable to plug it in via wired connection. | 03:50 |
| steiner | sorry, i meant ssh | 03:50 |
| Paddy_NI | ActionParsnip, Oh, sorry I am not following? | 03:51 |

| maestro | Ubuntu 10.10, installed fresh, it auto detected my wireless USB card (Linksys Dual N-Band). However, the card seems to 'shut off' randomly and then network drops (the status indicator goes dead) - I resolve this by unplugging and plugging it back in, about every 10-15 minutes. Appreciate any pointers on where to look to read up more on possible cause. | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hum: you set it yourself | 03:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | hum, i'm sure it's configurable | 03:52 |
| hum | do you know how? | 03:52 |
| DasEi | Auckla: assuming (from what ?) the router is working and card properly installed , sudo iwlist scanning | 03:52 |
| _Techie_ | is there any way to configure diferent default sessions for different users? | 03:53 |
| Auckla | DasEi: Yeah I just did that, no scan results. And the computer next to me gets about 100% signal strength. | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | hum: its an option of the command | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | _Techie_: when a user logs into a session, the last session is remembered | 03:53 |
| hum | oh because i was trying to do it at higher than 128 but i dont really know how... | 03:54 |
| DasEi | Auckla: so either card isn't installed properly, or not in your network, or firewalled, or broken | 03:54 |
| Auckla | DasEi: I think I will do one of two things. Share the connection on the windows machine next to, thus making my network ridiculously complicated, or try putting Ubuntu Desktop on it and see if that makes any difference. | 03:54 |
| Paddy_NI | maestro, That sounds like the same issue kcorcoran and myself have, seems leaving a ping running solves this for us | 03:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | hum, looks like -b is bitrate (but i'm not sure if that applies to audio in the same way - i don't use ffmpeg much) | 03:54 |
| _Techie_ | ActionParsnip, is it the last session globally, or the last session for that user? | 03:54 |
| DasEi | Auckla: lspci > broken prbly. not, /etcnetwork/interfaces ? | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | _Techie_: for that user | 03:55 |
| maestro | Paddy_NI: so leave a ping running in the background against something? | 03:55 |
| hum | it tells me this... WARNING: The bitrate parameter is set too low. It takes bits/s as argument, not kbits/s it works but the sound quality isnt very good | 03:55 |
| DasEi | Auckla: also check /var/log/syslog and /etc/resolv.conf | 03:55 |
| Auckla | Well so much for solving this issue before I go out tonight. | 03:55 |
| Paddy_NI | maestro, yeah I normally just ping google | 03:55 |
| Auckla | DasEi: Thank you for all your support. | 03:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | hum, i like mplayer to demux stuff, "mplayer -vo null -ao pcm FILE.VID" should dump to a way that you can encode to whatever you want. | 03:56 |
| Auckla | Oh yeah what is the local console editer for Ubuntu console other then "VI". | 03:56 |
| Paddy_NI | maestro, you can also set the frequency of the pings if you wish but I dont bother | 03:56 |

| weside | I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on almost a brand new toshiba satellite, and when i go to restart/shutdown it hangs up?, what can be causing this?.. | 04:04 |
| steiner | can i make a ssh connection permanent so it connects when i start the computer? | 04:04 |
| zhoubo | does anyone know how to unlock screen,it tell me wrong password,but am sure it's right | 04:05 |
| purp | getting undefined references inside of netbeans when trying to use libircclient and also when using libcurl | 04:05 |
| purp | my #includes are correct...can not figure this out | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | steiner: you can add the connection to the startup and use ssh keys so you dont get bothered for passwords | 04:06 |
| _Techie_ | when usin any valid resolution for my TV, the desktop spans outside the visible area, is there any way to calibrate this? | 04:06 |
| steiner | how would i do that? | 04:06 |
| weside | guess i got to figure it out on my own. | 04:06 |
| purp | technie I got the same problem here.. defaults to 52" and 1920x1024 lose all edges | 04:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, steiner i fail to see where a situation would require this type of connection. screen or ?byobou makes a lot more sense to me. | 04:07 |
| kcorcoran | DasEi had my first 64 bit difference | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: thin client would be one | 04:07 |
| _Techie_ | purp, ive got 1920x1080 and i couldnt see the bottom bar when logging on to change session | 04:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, i could see that i suppose. | 04:07 |
| steiner | im tyring to network two ubuntu compters together for file sharing | 04:07 |
| DasEi | kcorcoran: so ? | 04:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | steiner, just make a bookmark in gnome, so easy | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | steiner: then you would add the sshfs mount in /etc/fstab | 04:08 |
| purp | what does your default monitor size say, 52"? | 04:08 |
| dw- | weside: try holding shift on boot, goto a prompt, check the logs /var/log/messages /var/log/sysmsg etc | 04:08 |
| _Techie_ | purp, im not actually sure | 04:08 |
| dw- | weside: or you can use a rescue/boot disk to mount the drive and do the same | 04:08 |
| purp | _techie_, you running hdmi? | 04:09 |
| steiner | i made the directory in mnt but what do i do now? | 04:09 |
| dw- | new feature: ubuntu safe boot | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | steiner | 04:09 |
| ubottu | steiner: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !sshfs | 04:10 |
| ubottu | SSHFS is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions | 04:10 |
| _Techie_ | purp, yep, with an 8400GS | 04:10 |
| spacey | disconnect | 04:10 |
| purp | _techie_, you can try to go down to VGA :/ | 04:10 |
| weside | another problem i am having is when i plug in a usb mouse, i get nothing.. | 04:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, if sshfs is fuse based i'd actually be surprised if it went into fstab (i haven't read the link) | 04:10 |
| joshy__ | re | 04:10 |
| MisterAnderson | hey I tried installing the iso file from ubuntu's site but it took too long and eventually quit, is there like a .torrent available for ubuntu on a mac? | 04:10 |
| dw- | weside: goto a prompt and sudo tail -f /var/log/* while you plug it in see what comes up | 04:10 |
| dw- | weside: after the cmd wait for the screen to stop scrolling then plug it in | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: i'm old school, what can I say | 04:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, oh wow a fuse user. cool, thanks for the factoid fun | 04:11 |
| DasEi | MisterAnderson: yes, all isos can be torrented, too | 04:11 |
| _Techie_ | purp, unfortunately i cant, im running hdmi through a surround sound unit, and then to the TV, the TV does have VGA, but it shrinks it and therefore makes the test null and coid | 04:11 |
| weside | thanks dw- i will try that. :) | 04:11 |
| _Techie_ | purp, void* | 04:11 |
| maxxist | ActionParsnip, thank you. your first method worked. I didnt install the restricted extras originally. as I did not want all the 32 bit libs installed with it. | 04:11 |
| purp | any reason why I am getting undefined references when trying to compile programs using libraries inside /usr/include? | 04:11 |
| Memnoch | Bittorent downloads: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt | 04:11 |
| DasEi | !torrents | MisterAnderson | 04:11 |
| ubottu | MisterAnderson: Maverick can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/maverick/desktop/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/maverick/server/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ | 04:11 |
| purp | all function calls are correct to prototypes | 04:11 |
| MisterAnderson | thanks | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | maxxist: cool, as long as its not there it wont pull in the 32bit flash and break things :) | 04:12 |
| purp | _technie_, damn... I dunno.. I wish I did... I had to go down to 1280x1024 | 04:12 |
| steiner | the bookmark option was what i was looking for, thanks! | 04:12 |
| maestro | Anybody here good at resolving Grub 2 funkiness with dual boot windows? Posted a problem description here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647817 | 04:12 |
| dw- | weside: Ctrl-C to stop following (tail -f) the logs.. or add a space and & to the end to put it in the background so you can run commands...... | 04:12 |
| dw- | weside: then fg to bring to foreground :) g/l | 04:12 |
| seidos | is there a way to add a "run field" to a panel, so i don't have to hit alt-f2, i could just type the command in the field? | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | maestro: try: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub | 04:12 |
| _Techie_ | purp, i wish i could do that, but im runnin a custom xorg.conf for xbmc and i really dont want to have to fidle with i | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | seidos: I think that already exists if you right click the panel and add item | 04:13 |
| maestro | ActionParsnip: os-prober I assume attempts to update the grub config? | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | maestro: yes | 04:13 |
| purp | _techie_, hmm... wish I knew... I need to fix same thing over here.. | 04:13 |
| Krishnandu | Hi, in shell script how can I extract a column that I stored in i?? cut is not working.. | 04:13 |
| almoxarife | could some one tell me if they have the same issue with the video as seen on this feed, this is not the only time I have seen the issue, reminds me of a tv channel that's just off tune, but I can't figure out what the video issue is, btw, the sound comes in fine and would seem to be in sync if the video was watchable, example link mmsh://195.245.168.21/rtp?MSWMExt=.asf | 04:13 |
| seidos | ActionParsnip, tried that. i'm running karmic, and i have to click on it. i just want the field to already be there so i can just type in it. | 04:13 |
| CET6_ | hi ~ | 04:14 |
| _Techie_ | purp, im gonna have an ask around | 04:14 |
| maestro | ActionParsnip: There a file I should backup before I run os-prober itself, just in case? | 04:14 |
| almoxarife | almoxarife: I also see the seem problem on youtube sometimes | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | maestro: no, not really | 04:15 |
| maestro | ActionParsnip: k | 04:15 |
| weside | i just dont get it.. | 04:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | almoxarife, i can't open your mmsh link, but are you talking about this issue http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu | 04:16 |
| Krishnandu | Hi, in shell script how can I extract a column that I stored in i?? cut is not working.. | 04:16 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: let me read up | 04:17 |
| Nexxus | does anyone know where i can get the logitech quickcam version 10.5 driver installed so i can have my webcam work i cant find the driver i need | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Nexxus: if you run: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex id, you can then websearch that to find guides | 04:18 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: not that, its like a tv channel back in the days when it was out of tune, I see lines running diagonaly | 04:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | almoxarife, i opened your link - it's very different | 04:18 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: Re-state your issue and I'll try to address is here. | 04:19 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: you see the vid screwy also? | 04:19 |
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, I did i=`ps -e | grep -i server` so now I've the whole pid information about the running process(pid, terminal, time and program name), so I want to extract just the pid from there and will kill it in my next line | 04:20 |
| nirazio | How can I prevent Desktop Users from accessing any online website? I tried 127.0.0.1 * in /etc/hosts but it didn't do the trick.Please note that I need to keep http://localhost fully functional. | 04:20 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: Can you show me the current contents of $i? | 04:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | almoxarife, are you talking about an interlacing issue perhaps. i see the video, it certainly isn't the greatest quality, not listening to the audio though. i'm not an video expert. best of luck. | 04:20 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: and I see the same issue with mplayer, vlc, etc | 04:20 |
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, 3066 pts/11 00:00:00 server | 04:20 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: is that what it is, interlace? | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | almoxarife, i don't know, might be? | 04:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: echo $i | cut -d\ -f1 | 04:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: cut separates on tabs by default - that changes it to uses spaces. | 04:21 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: you see the video stream without issue other low quality? | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | almoxarife, i seem to notice that type of distortion with the more recent video codecs. | 04:22 |
| Nexxus | ActionParsnip: lsusb doesnt seem to think that it is there | 04:22 |
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, wow..!! It's working fine :) Thanks a lot :) | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Nexxus: is the device plugged in and powered no? Have you tried a different port? | 04:22 |
| === b-worth is now known as butter1 | ||
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: np | 04:22 |
| almoxarife | ZykoticK9: yes I see it a lot lately, and I can't find a cause or cure | 04:22 |
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, Ohh, that's why you said I may need to specify the delimeter right?? | 04:22 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: yup | 04:22 |
| Nexxus | ActionParsnip: ya i forgot the one it was in was faulty so now that i have the hex id i just google it? | 04:23 |
| Krishnandu | got it :) | 04:23 |
| Krishnandu | Thanks tonyyarusso | 04:23 |
| maestro | ActionParsnip: No luck - os-prober was latest version according to apt-get. When I run, I see just the Windows Recovery Environment. grub update lists the same as before, including just windows recovery environment - for whatever reason, it doesn't see the real windows install | 04:24 |
| purp | is there something that blocks netbeans from using .h files from /usr/include and /usr/local/include??? | 04:24 |
| ActionParsnip | maestro: thats all i know dude, i dont dual boot | 04:25 |
| maestro | ActionParsnip: k | 04:25 |
| ActionParsnip | maestro: you could try reinstating the windws boot loader, then reinstall grub to see if its detected | 04:25 |
| weside | it's weird ubuntu 10.10 works fine on my 3 year old laptop, on this almost brand new one nothing but problems so far. :( | 04:26 |
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, Another issue, now when I do kill -9 `cut -d\ -f1` it's not getting killed, and in shell program it's just waits on screen... | 04:26 |
| === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse | ||
| maestro | ActionParsnip: I'm assuming to reinstate the windows boot loader, I use a windows recovery disk and have it make itself happy with a boot fix. There a way to then reinstall grub with the ubuntu install disk that you know of? | 04:27 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: kill -9 $(echo $i | cut -d\ -f1) | 04:28 |
| tonyyarusso | !grub | maestro | 04:28 |
| ubottu | maestro: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 04:28 |
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, Ohh why so? I mean if you can please explain | 04:28 |
| tonyyarusso | Krishnandu: cut is just a command - you need to pipe the contents of $i into it if you expect to get anything useful back. | 04:28 |
| === purp is now known as purpsm0k3 | ||
| Krishnandu | tonyyarusso, Hmm... | 04:29 |
| maestro | !grub2 | 04:29 |

| Nexxus | ActionParsnip: i got a fatal error while running make in the directory of the driver i just installed it says: fatal error: asm/semaphore.h no such file or directory | 04:29 |
| maestro | funny | 04:29 |
| _Techie_ | purpsm0k3, can i PM you? | 04:32 |
| matt__ | hello? | 04:35 |
| matt__ | anyone in here? | 04:36 |
| FishFace | 1.320 people | 04:36 |
| matt__ | its been YEARS since ive been in an IRC channel | 04:36 |
| matt__ | ok, hey | 04:36 |
| FishFace | Over a thousand | 04:36 |
| matt__ | I'm here looking for help with adding a repository to ubuntu. anyone interested in helping me out? | 04:36 |
| matt__ | this should be simple and I've done it before, but now I'm running into trouble for some reason | 04:36 |
| FishFace | If you have a lengthy error message, you can put it in pastebin.com | 04:37 |
| tonyyarusso | matt__: you'll have better luck if you describe your trouble. | 04:38 |
| matt__ | http://pastebin.com/Bfxw09Cg | 04:39 |
| riddick | Hey. does any one here know how i can find out where my firefox saves temporary itnernet files? | 04:39 |
| matt__ | hah, wow, I was already headed for pastebin before you said so | 04:39 |
| riddick | sorry, Internet files... :p | 04:39 |
| AbhiJit | riddick, /home/user/.mozilla | 04:40 |
| Phoenigore | hi all | 04:40 |
| riddick | thanks. i'll look into it. | 04:40 |
| matt__ | FishFace, I'm sure backtrack has 64 bit packages I just don't know how to find them | 04:41 |
| purpsm0k3 | _techie_, yes | 04:41 |
| FishFace | matt__: Well, you could try this I guess if you haven't yet - http://archive.offensive-security.com/dists/pwnsauce/ | 04:41 |
| tonyyarusso | matt__: That repository appears not to support 64-bit. | 04:42 |
| FishFace | Just go there and poke around | 04:42 |
| matt__ | when I go to the repo through http it looks like they only have i386 | 04:42 |
| FishFace | Ahhh | 04:42 |
| matt__ | they have a readme where they list that and that's what ive got in synaptic for my repo | 04:42 |
| tonyyarusso | matt__: Also, this is an Ubuntu channel. Please use Backtrack support channels for Backtrack support. | 04:42 |
| matt__ | shoot, good point. what am i doing asking in here? | 04:43 |
| FishFace | There are a few channels you can go to matt. Go to the wrong one and they will yell at you. LOL! I forget which one is correct though. | 04:43 |
| mukil | Hella | 04:44 |
| matt__ | FishFace: is there a way where I can have ubuntu make an exception? | 04:44 |
| Pokit | Anyone familiar with setting up multi-touch gestures in maverick? I thought I set it up right, but sometime my cursor goes berserk when I put more than 1 finger on it. Sometimes when I lock and come back later, it magically works... | 04:44 |
| FishFace | matt__: Dunno | 04:44 |
| matt__ | or will it just always reject any architecture that I'm not on? | 04:44 |
| mukil | Good moning | 04:44 |
| matt__ | Pokit: I have that same issue! Crazy. | 04:44 |
| Pokit | matt__: Yeah it's driving me insane | 04:45 |
| matt__ | Pokit: how did you modify it at all? I have only been in Ubuntu for about 2 hours | 04:45 |
| matt__ | Pokit: Didn't know I could modify the settings | 04:45 |
| matt__ | nevermind | 04:46 |
| Pokit | matt__: I installed "pointing devices" and messed with the settings | 04:46 |
| purpsm0k3 | !ati | 04:46 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:46 |
| cardona507 | so it looks like a new ubuntu setup comes with a .viminfo file - so I should add my own .vimrc file? | 04:46 |
| Pokit | matt__: I also found a script that sets some parameters for different multitouch gestures | 04:47 |
| chaospsychex | Is there an anti-virus program available from Ubuntu? | 04:47 |
| chaospsychex | * for ubuntu | 04:47 |
| KB1JWQ | chaospsychex: Antivirals don't work the same way. | 04:47 |
| KB1JWQ | !antivirus | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 04:48 |
| KB1JWQ | chaospsychex: REad that. | 04:48 |
| chaospsychex | thanks guys | 04:48 |
| matt__ | shoot, I haven't been in an IRC in forever! | 04:48 |
| matt__ | How can I search for backtrack channels without printing the whole seventy mile long list that comes with /list | 04:49 |
| chaospsychex | if I delete my main ntfs file partition using gpart will prevent from booting into ubuntu, which is installed on a separate partition | 04:49 |
| purpsm0k3 | !netbeans | 04:49 |
| samlife | hola a todo el mundo | 04:50 |
| samlife | que hay de nuevo | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !es | 04:50 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 04:50 |
| rs0832 | matt__: check the website. They usually have a list of their support channels | 04:50 |
| chaospsychex | i installed from a cd | 04:50 |
| FishFace | matt__: 175 people in #backtrack-linux - That should be good | 04:50 |
| matt__ | FishFace: Thanks! | 04:51 |
| incognito | I tried to open a link in vlc, and it said: Your input can't be opened... and .... VLC is unable to open the MLR... and ... check log for details. So I opened the Log File viewer, and there are many logs. Which Log should I look at, or is there some other thing I should do to find out why vlc can't open the video? Thanks | 04:51 |
| samlife | no | 04:51 |
| jonathan_ | my sound stopped working randomly. Everything is unmuted and up in alsamixer, I tried a few combinations of output device settings and tried testing the speakers in sound preferences.. Nothing. Rebooting didn't help. What else could I try? | 04:51 |
| ghost_ | do you know the command to boot bios from usb flash | 04:51 |
| ghost_ | with dos | 04:52 |
| crimsun | jonathan_: use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo first | 04:52 |
| chaospsychex | if I delete my main ntfs file partition using gpart will it prevent me from booting into ubuntu, which is installed on a separate partition | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jonathan_: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then press ALT+F2 and run: pulseaudio | 04:53 |
| incognito | chaospsychex it depends on if you ntfs partition is sda1 or not. | 04:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | jonathan_, i really like ActionParsnip's suggestion above, but be aware that is removing your current pulse setup (if any) | 04:54 |
| kcorcoran | I am installing my video card (ati) and it shows up under addiotnal drivers, i clicked activate. it shows about 50% complete on the "downloading and installing driver" screen...but its been sitting there for a while. any ideas? | 04:54 |
| chaospsychex | incognito it is,i want to change it to ext so i can make it available as storage space for ubuntu | 04:54 |
| chaospsychex | don't wanna boot to windows anymore | 04:55 |
| Texas_ | does anyone know what port and service to whitelist to allow firestarter to stop f**king with azuerus? | 04:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Texas_, not an ubuntu question. | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Texas_: whatever port azuerus uses, look in its settings | 04:55 |
| Texas_ | firestarter i s not part of ubuntu? | 04:55 |
| jonathan_ | Here's my pastebin for alsa info: http://pastebin.com/xYf9uJwn | 04:56 |
| incognito | chaospychex i'm proud of you heheh are you running 10.04, or 10.1? | 04:56 |
| Texas_ | and all this time i though i was using ubuntu lol silly me | 04:56 |
| jonathan_ | unfortunately killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* and rerunning pulseaudio didn't work out | 04:56 |
| chaospsychex | incognito 10.10 | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Texas_: look in the azuerus settings to see what port it uses, if it has the option of 'use random port' make it use a set port, then allow all traffic in and out on that port | 04:57 |
| incognito | chaospsychex do you know how to use .... dd ? | 04:57 |
| Texas_ | thanks action i wil give it a try | 04:57 |
| chaospsychex | incognito dd? | 04:57 |
| Raydiation | evolution sync: i can get my contacts and calendar from google, but can i also sync contacts which i locally add with google? | 04:58 |
| jonathan_ | also if I aplay a wav file I get no output, so it's not something wrong with an individual program | 04:58 |
| incognito | chaopsychex is a utility that will allow you to copy the grub boot instructions off of sda1 and reinstall it after you have reformated sda1 | 04:59 |
| incognito | dd | 04:59 |
| incognito | dd is the utility | 04:59 |
| chaospsychex | and where will i have to store the grub boot instructions? | 05:00 |
| dw- | i totally trashed my evolution address book then deleted the files. now it wont work. duh :p | 05:00 |
| asustek | Hi I was wondering if I can get some help to enable wireless with 10.10 | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dw-: backups to the rescue | 05:00 |
| samlife | wtf | 05:00 |
| incognito | could someone bring up the utility page for dd for chaopsychex.. I don't know how to do it.. Thanks | 05:00 |
| samlife | wtf | 05:00 |
| samlife | wtf | 05:00 |

| ActionParsnip | asustek: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line to find guides | 05:01 |
| samlife | mmmm | 05:01 |
| dw- | ActionParsnip: nah, lost em. maybe next time | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | samlife: do you have an ubuntu question? | 05:02 |
| incognito | could someone show me how to get the ubuntu bot to give chaospsychex the instructions for dd. | 05:02 |
| chaospsychex | there's got to an easier way to do it | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dw-: I suggest you get a backup regime in place, it'll save your hide | 05:02 |
| chaospsychex | why can't i just delete the partition then install grub again | 05:02 |
| incognito | no way. dd is easy | 05:02 |
| jmad980 | !dd | chaospsychex | 05:02 |

| jonathan_ | any other good ideas for debugging sound problems? | 05:03 |
| dw- | ActionParsnip: yea ive got one now duplicity is nice | 05:03 |
| incognito | dd is the easiest | 05:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: dd if=/path/to/filename.img of=/dev/diskname | 05:03 |
| dw- | ActionParsnip: but still only gonna keep a month....... and i didn think of backups at the time im not used to actually havnig them haha | 05:03 |
| rs0832 | incognito: all the commands are here http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | 05:03 |
| jmad980 | yeah, dd is pretty strait forward, as long as you don't mess anything up :) | 05:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dw-: keep a copy on dropbox / ubuntuone ;) | 05:03 |
| chaospsychex | actionparsnip what? | 05:04 |
| bluefox83 | !compiz | 05:04 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 05:04 |
| dw- | ActionParsnip: ive got a 2nd drive... 2 full backups and incrementals for a month should be good | 05:04 |
| dw- | ActionParsnip: but i was just fixing it like the day after that happened.... lost the old stuff | 05:04 |
| dw- | ActionParsnip: ill fix it.. sometime. | 05:04 |
| incognito | chaospsychex you could store it on sdb2, and then you can access it with a live cd, but you have to know how to mount the hard drive from the live cd. That's not to hard. | 05:05 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: thats the command you'll need, you will need to change the image file to the actual image file you have and the disk name will be the actual name of the usb disk. e.g. /dev/sdb you can find that out with: sudo fdisk -l | 05:05 |
| jonathan_ | Should the basic user have access to "Use audio devices" | 05:06 |
| incognito | chaospsychex do you have a live cd? | 05:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jonathan_: yers | 05:07 |
| chaospsychex | yeah,can't i just delete the partition and do "sudo update-grub" ? | 05:07 |
| jonathan_ | weird that it just got disabled. I enabled it but still no sound. Do I need to log out? | 05:07 |

| rugwiro | hello everyone | 05:09 |
| incognito | chaospsychex I think that you will lose the exact address on the hard drive that sdb2 starts on. I forget what that is called. Can someone provide the name of that address that marks the beginning of the partition? | 05:09 |
| rugwiro | is there anyone who can talk to me about linux virtual platform?? | 05:09 |
| AbhiJit | !vm | rugwiro | 05:10 |
| ubottu | rugwiro: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 05:10 |

| nit-wit | chaospsychex, what are you trying to do | 05:13 |
| jonathan_ | So my sound only works with headphones. Why? | 05:13 |
| incognito | chaospsychex yeah that's it. It may work, but I am not familiar with that utility. | 05:13 |

| asustek | If i lspci my wireless card shows up ralink rt 2860 but still no dice | 05:16 |
| chaospsychex | nit-wit ok,one sec | 05:16 |
| dnivra | jonathan_, volume control -> sound preferences. in the output tab, what does the connector box say? | 05:17 |
| nit-wit | chaos there is a screen shot in menu applications gparted may need to be installed and you use this site to post the said screen shot.http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 05:17 |
| chaospsychex | http://imagebin.org/128409 my screen shot | 05:17 |
| jonathan_ | dnivra: It's set to Analog Speakers, and I get output with the headphones in | 05:17 |
| jonathan_ | Oddly enough with the Connector set to Headphones, the sound doesn't go to headphones | 05:18 |
| dnivra | jonathan_, change it to analog output? that might work. | 05:18 |
| jonathan_ | works, but really soft | 05:18 |
| chaospsychex | nit-wit well? | 05:18 |
| nit-wit | chaospsychex, okay you can remove the NTFS but moving that left end of the partition of Ubuntu if you intend to will take hours. | 05:19 |
| jonathan_ | ok so both analog output and analog speaker work only with headphones in | 05:19 |
| dnivra | jonathan_, what happens if you select analog headphones? | 05:20 |
| chaospsychex | what do you mean "moving that left end of the partition of ubuntu" ? | 05:20 |
| chaospsychex | i wanna delete the ntfs and then do "sudo update-grub" and then reboot,will i have a problem rebooting if i do this? | 05:20 |
| ptantiku | any one know how to bring up pulse volume control applet in Ubuntu 10.10? | 05:20 |
| jonathan_ | nvm, they all work, but when I switch, alsa mixer automatically zeroes the speaker volume for the other modes | 05:20 |
| incognito | chaospsychex you aren't asking about resizing the partition, you just want to reformat and use the partition for data.. right? | 05:20 |
| nit-wit | chaospsychex, you shouls be doing this from a live cd with the swap off | 05:21 |
| jonathan_ | So i can get each of them to work, but only with the headphones | 05:21 |
| nit-wit | should | 05:21 |
| chaospsychex | incognito, yes | 05:21 |
| chaospsychex | incognito, will it work? | 05:21 |
| bluefox83 | well, coming here was about useless... | 05:21 |
| chaospsychex | worst case scenario....i have to re-install ubuntu from my usb drive | 05:22 |
| nit-wit | chaospsychex, data yes but you sholud be doing this on a live cd with the swap off reloading grub is easy. | 05:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | is there an auction sniper program for ubuntu? :-D | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | but atleast i wont have that god-forsaken os that is windows on my hd anymore | 05:22 |

| chaospsychex | why should i use a cd? | 05:23 |
| chaospsychex | yeah,i got part of my ipod touch designated as usb mass storage | 05:24 |
| dw- | chaospsychex: gparted resizes partitions, boots into a nice gui its real easy. put on cd OR usb | 05:24 |
| incognito | you will need a live cd to boot your computer and format the drive and install grub | 05:24 |
| chaospsychex | grub is already installed | 05:25 |
| chaospsychex | i am asking if after I delete the ntfs partition and do "sudo update-grub" THEN reboot, will i have any problems | 05:25 |
| incognito | chaospsychex download a live cd, and learn how to use dd... it's simple. | 05:25 |

| chaospsychex | let me ask another question. I have my pc setup as a dual-boot config. where is grub located at on the hd? the windows partition or the linux partition? | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: its ready to roll, just open it with your java binary | 05:27 |
| ptantiku | linux_is_my_hero: jar file doesn't need to be unpacked | 05:27 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: how do i run it? :-( | 05:27 |
| nomad77 | linux_is_my_hero: you dont you do " java -jar foo.jar | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: you can make a script to start the app and put it in one of the folders in $PATH | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: like I said, open it with your java binary | 05:28 |
| psusi | chaospsychex, if you are using grub2 ( default since Ubuntu 9.10 ) then grub installs some files to /boot/grub in your Linux partition, and the core image to the embed area between the MBR and the start of the first partition | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: most likely /usr/bin/java | 05:29 |

| tgp1994 | nvm :P | 05:31 |

| nomad77 | pepee: apt-cache show pkgname or apt-cache policy pkgname | 05:32 |
| psusi | pepee, then just download and extract it and look at the files that were extracted | 05:33 |
| dnivra | abhijain, open update manager. it'll tell you if there is an upgrade and you can just download all upgrades to latest version. | 05:33 |
| psusi | chaospsychex, should | 05:33 |
| pepee | psusi, man dpkg | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijain: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijain: use the server method, its way simple | 05:33 |
| psusi | pepee, I'm pretty familiar with it already... dpkg -x will extract the files from a package without installing it | 05:34 |
| pepee | nomad77, showpkg will not do what I want | 05:34 |
| dnivra | ActionParsnip, server method? what's that? | 05:34 |
| pepee | psusi, dpkg -L will show you a list of files | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: its a way of upgrading at commandline | 05:34 |
| dnivra | ActionParsnip, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'? | 05:34 |
| pepee | apt-file is not being helpful | 05:34 |
| psusi | pepee, if it is installed.. you asked how to see files in a package without installing it didn't you? | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: thats not enough | 05:35 |
| incognito | chaospsychex if you want to be sure then you need to go to the grub manual, and or do a google search and find out where (which file) grub stores the UUID. And copy the UUID Then if it doesn't work you can manually install grub and you will have the UUID so you can input it into the grub file. | 05:35 |
| nomad77 | pepee: or ubuntu package search website | 05:35 |
| pepee | psusi, sorry, I meant I want a list of files | 05:35 |
| psusi | pepee, the only way I know of to list them without installing is to extract them to a directory and then ls the directory | 05:36 |
| incognito | chaospsychex That is the latest version of grub. I forget what version it is, but they upgraded grub to the next version on 10.04 | 05:36 |
| ubnoob | Hi everyone, Is their a net stumbler for Ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: you need to tell the OS not to only expect LTS if you want to go from Lucid to maverick | 05:36 |
| dnivra | ActionParsnip, oh yeah 10.04 is LTS :). keep forgetting that :P. | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ubnoob: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19974396-Equivalent-of-Netstumbler-in-Ubuntu | 05:37 |
| pepee | psusi, read again: dpkg -L will do it, after d/l or installing the package | 05:37 |
| psusi | pepee, ohh... I thought that only worked if it was installed | 05:38 |
| ubnoob | <ActionParsnip> thanks! | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ubnoob: not smoething I even knew what it was but a simple websearch and I got a solution. | 05:38 |
| pepee | psusi, ahh, yeah. it doesn't work if the package is not installed | 05:39 |
| nit-wit | incognito, it is grub2 most likely a easy fix no menu additons | 05:40 |
| pepee | ok, got it. thanks, people. sorry for bothering | 05:40 |
| incognito | chaospsychex regardless, even if you do grub update, you should dd the grub sectors at the beginning of the hard drive as insurance. Even if grub updat works, you should always dd the grub boot section when modifying the first partition. It was 31 kb for the old grub, but I'm not sure what it is for the grub2 | 05:40 |

| bisack | I broke a couple installs trying to force sharing the /usr with fstab | 05:42 |
| bisack | tahta, what help do you need? I *may* be able to help | 05:43 |
| incognito | chaospsychex no. I don't think so. I think you want sbd2 flagged as boot, but even if you get that wrong, you can always easily change that. | 05:43 |
| nit-wit | incognito, Ubuntu doesn't use flags | 05:43 |
| pepee | bisack, IIRC diff distros use different paths, configs, etc | 05:45 |
| incognito | nit-wit well then I guess that would explain why it works no matter what I flag as boot. | 05:45 |
| pepee | also, you need the config files for those programs | 05:45 |
| nit-wit | incognito, almost failsafe really, except for the user interface. ;) | 05:46 |

| ActionParsnip | flyk: use deb | 05:48 |
| flyk | thanks | 05:48 |
| pepee | bisack, maybe compiling the packages by hand | 05:49 |

| ryan___ | Hello everyone. Any clue how to restore a Wubi backup? Basically my laptop died, and all I have is the root.disk file now. I am planning to restore it to a real partition I have made on my new machine. I am confused as most of the guides assume you are using a current wubi install to make the conversion, not a backed up disk. Any help? | 05:55 |
| tsrk | Is there some way I can go from a running installation to a recovery environment in a ramdisk with all of my actual volumes unmounted? | 05:56 |
| pepee | tsrk, run a live cd? | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan___: i suggest you install wubi then boot to windows and replace the root.disk file possibly may work | 05:57 |
| jamiewan | xavante: have u tried appearance settings, visual effects and click more, should look for driver then | 05:57 |
| tsrk | pepee: unfortunately I don't have physical access - it's a colocated server | 05:57 |
| incognito | chaospsychex yeah #windows is the windows support channel. Keep in mind that unless you zero out the drive, the virus will still be there and if you reinstall after reformatting, the virus has a possibility of reinstalling | 05:57 |
| incognito | you zero out the drive with dd or with dban. | 05:58 |
| tsrk | I like shred best | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | xavante: may help: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/137980 | 05:58 |

| dnivra | incognito, chaospsychex ##windows actually. though you do get redirected if you join #windows. | 05:58 |
| ryan___ | @ActionParsnip Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this, however because of the different UIDs and other information in the old root.disk, Wubi is unable to boot from it using this method. I assume I need to mount it and copy files over. How does one mount root.disk? | 05:58 |
| chaospsychex | incognito, im not re-installing windows. im done with that os | 05:58 |
| pepee | tsrk, what about mounting as read only? | 05:59 |
| tsrk | pepee: well, the volumes that I want to unmount are my LVM volumes, which I want to unmount so that I can rename them. | 06:00 |
| incognito | chaospsychex yes I completely understand, but some people like us web developers have to run multiple os's so we can see how our web pages display on microcr#p and such. | 06:00 |
| tsrk | pepee: but my root partition (including /boot) is on one of the LVM volumes | 06:00 |

| tsrk | veganskydive: i'm from 192.168.1.1 | 06:02 |
| dnivra | veganskydive, this is ubuntu support channel. suggest you head to off-topic for this. | 06:02 |
| dnivra | !ot | veganskydive | 06:02 |

| ActionParsnip | ryan___: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 may help, personally I think wubi stinks | 06:04 |
| cg_cnu | Can someone help me on installing java on my ubuntu 10 | 06:04 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip You will have more respect for wubi! It is after all the instrument of Ubuntu! | 06:05 |
| pepee | cg_cnu, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre | 06:05 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: what specifically do you want? you can get the open source ones with default-jre and default-jdk | 06:05 |
| ryan___ | @ActionParsnip Cheers for that, I will give it a try. Yes wubi became rather tedious to work with once I realized it's limitations, especially for migration. | 06:05 |
| tsrk | pepee: they moved sun java to the partner repos :( | 06:05 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: you need to enable the partner repositories for sun java | 06:05 |
| cg_cnu | I want sun java real time environment for installing another software called alchemy. | 06:06 |
| incognito | cd_cnu google: install java ubuntu 10.? if that doesn't help... let me know. | 06:06 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: is this on a desktop environment? | 06:07 |
| cg_cnu | <tsrk> yep ......its a desktop pc. | 06:07 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, Alchemy requires the Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or above. this is what there in the site of alchemy. | 06:08 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: ok, just a moment, i'm booting my ubuntu VM so i can see how to enable the source | 06:09 |

| detrix42 | I need some help with setting up apache. I have some files that I have put in a web page, so people can right click on them to download them. but apache says permission denied. do not have permission. how do I configure apache to allow downloading from a particular dir? | 06:09 |
| ezrafree | can anyone tell me how to get the Logitech MX5000 wireless keyboard/mouse combo to work automatically in 10.4 LTS Lucid Lynx? | 06:10 |
| chaospsychex | any programmers in here? | 06:11 |
| nairb774 | detrix42, what user is apache running as? | 06:11 |
| incognito | detrix42 is /var/www document root | 06:11 |
| pepee | cg_cnu, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:11 |
| detrix42 | I have the root doc folder in my home/Public/www folder. | 06:11 |
| pepee | deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner | 06:11 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager. then, within syanptic, go to settings -> repositories, and select the "other software" tab. enable the options with "partner" in, and save and close everything. open a command prompt, and type "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" | 06:11 |
| detrix42 | nairb774: I believe apache is running at what ever the default user name. | 06:12 |
| incognito | detrix42 what are the permissions in the www folder? | 06:12 |
| tsrk | chaospsychex: Most likely almost everyone in here is a programmer... I suggest just asking your question and see who answers | 06:12 |
| incognito | detrix42 that would be root | 06:12 |
| pepee | tsrk, what is the problem with just changing the name of the volume? fstab? | 06:13 |
| chaospsychex | what's a good c# ide | 06:13 |
| dnivra | chaospsychex, ##programming :) | 06:13 |
| incognito | detrix42 open your file manager and browse to the www folder right click on it and click on permissions | 06:13 |
| cg_cnu | ok......got it.....I will be checking.....and give you the result. | 06:13 |
| tsrk | pepee: LVM doesn't want to change the name of a volume group which contains active volumes. it just says "Volume group "n2" still has active LVs" | 06:13 |
| detrix42 | incognito: did that...www permissions...rwxr-xr-x | 06:13 |
| nairb774 | detrix42, what about the dir one level up? | 06:14 |
| incognito | detrix42 you need to ad r to www and above | 06:14 |
| pepee | tsrk, ah. http://www.google.com/search?q=+%22Volume+group+*+still+has+active+LVs%22&num=50&safe=off&hl=en | 06:14 |
| pepee | tsrk, sorry, but that may be helpful | 06:14 |
| incognito | detrix42 for world permisions | 06:15 |
| incognito | detrix42 or other permissions..... whatever..... the last one. | 06:15 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, Hi I have tried to follow you... It is showing that. I already have a badly installed version of sun java. and not able to remoeve it. here is the error message...E: sun-java6-jre: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 06:16 |
| tsrk | pepee: actually, that did give better results than my google search (which i admit was less specific). but it still looks like i'd need to use a live cd, since / is on the LVM | 06:17 |
| jonathan_ | why is the copy web link option in ubuntu one greyed out suddenly | 06:17 |
| pepee | tsrk, yep, I'm trying to find something useful | 06:17 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: ok, try running "apt-get purge sun-java6-jre" first | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: its a pain to fix and gets heavily impacted by the shortcomings of ntfs | 06:17 |
| cg_cnu | ok...on my way.... | 06:17 |
| tsrk | pepee: thanks, but don't worry about it too much. i just wanted to change it to be consistent with the hostname change on my server, but it's only asthetic... nothing critical | 06:18 |
| Tabstar | What's the name of the default media player that ships with ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| incognito | Tabstar movie player | 06:18 |
| pepee | tsrk, well, if it works, don't touch it... | 06:19 |
| detrix42 | incognito: all directories have rwxr-xr-x from home on down | 06:19 |
| pepee | unless you want to learn LOL | 06:19 |
| tsrk | pepee: yeah... i really need to learn :P | 06:19 |
| tsrk | pepee: (not to touch it that is... not learn by messing things up) | 06:19 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, I am getting the following error message...http://pastebin.com/K4t519bT | 06:19 |
| incognito | Tabstar get vlc player it's better. download the medubuntu files. | 06:19 |
| pepee | ah, well. "learn by messing things up" is what I meant | 06:19 |
| Tabstar | incognito, what would the package be called? | 06:20 |
| detrix42 | well I guess home is not, since it is owned by roow | 06:20 |
| detrix42 | root | 06:20 |
| incognito | detrix42 is it a file that you want to provide for people? | 06:20 |
| tsrk | pepee: yep, and this really isn't the machine i should be doing that on :P i don't want to be pissing off my datacenter with midnight KVM over IP requests | 06:20 |
| Tabstar | incognito: i have that as well, although i like the other one better as it sets out the play list in a better way | 06:20 |
| incognito | Tabstar are you using 10.04 or later | 06:20 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: sorry, put sudo in front of that | 06:20 |
| Tabstar | incognito: 10.10 | 06:21 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, ok..... I am checking. | 06:21 |
| incognito | Tabstar sounds like your set! | 06:21 |

| detrix42 | incognito: this is the page: http://hoggfa.zapto.org | 06:24 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: ok, try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-jre | 06:24 |
| incognito | detrix42 I don't know how to serve up a file with html. I use php for stuff like that, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I don't even know if you can use html to do that. If I was using html, I think I would display the a web page of the file and they could copy it. | 06:24 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, ok....on my way... | 06:25 |
| pepee | cg_cnu, what tsrk wrote, or try: sudo dpkg -P sun-java6-jre | 06:25 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, it is also not working.......http://pastebin.com/uYRXjHWt | 06:26 |

| tsrk | cg_cnu: use the tab key to select it, and press enter | 06:34 |
| nairb774 | detrix42, does the fact that the links seem wrong help? | 06:34 |
| nairb774 | or was that a file that you know to work? | 06:34 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, oh.......man.....you saved my day.thank you. Now its working. | 06:34 |
| detrix42 | nairb774: I think I have it. I need to use relative paths to the file not absolute path | 06:35 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: i'm glad it's working! | 06:35 |
| nairb774 | detrix42, sounds about right. I'm out. | 06:36 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, Hey...its working.....I already have the software working in java. Thanks for your help. Have a great day. | 06:36 |

| cg_cnu | tsrk, What exactly is the procedure to install java.if i want to install it again in future. cg_cnu: go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager. then, within syanptic, go to settings -> repositories, and select the "other software" tab. enable the options with "partner" in, and save and close everything. open a command prompt, and type "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" | 06:38 |

| chiggins | How can I set up ICS on my machine so that it forwards port 80 to a different computer thats getting its internet from the machine | 06:38 |
| tsrk | cg_cnu: if the system is in a consistent state to begin with, then that procedure should work | 06:39 |
| mitch2002 | xavante: from what I have read there is no way to get it to work. I was hoping someone would know something else. | 06:39 |
| cg_cnu | tsrk, ok....great...thank you. I am writing down it for future reference. | 06:40 |
| incognito | chiggins ICS forgive me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like windows terminology | 06:40 |
| chiggins | Incognito, I'm just using it as a general term | 06:41 |
| xavante | mitch2002: compiz worked fine for a week but after some regular update it stopped and now not a sigle program that require 3 rendering wont work | 06:41 |

| chiggins | Incognito, for now yes. But that may change if I connect the xbox or something else | 06:42 |
| mitch2002 | xavante: same here. I wonder if anyone is working on it? | 06:42 |
| tsrk_ | cg_cnu: sorry, i got disconnected. anything else, or is it all good? | 06:42 |
| incognito | chiggins it's easy from ubuntu to ubuntu, but I don't know about xbox. Let me see if I can find the web page instruction. | 06:43 |

| sl33k_ | system time got changed? how to fix it? | 06:46 |
| pepee | mitch2002, xavante if it is a bug. it probably will be fixed. you should search for similar problems, and try to report your issues | 06:46 |
| mitch2002 | pepee: I see a lot of talk about how the 3d was disabled for 10.10, but nothing about it being worked on. | 06:47 |
| TaZeR | 3d tvs? | 06:47 |
| xavante | mitch2002: sure, I'll do that. tks | 06:47 |

| r00t4rd3d | Krishnandu, you do have openssl installed right ? | 07:01 |
| Krishnandu | r00t4rd3d, Yes.. | 07:02 |
| nit-wit | rdvonz, are you sure that just running lirc is the correct command | 07:02 |
| pepee | Krishnandu, it will probably try to find that file on some other location... | 07:02 |
| Krishnandu | pepee, C program a demon like thing... | 07:02 |
| twitch | rdvonz: sudo apt-get install lircd | 07:02 |
| pepee | most programs are writen in C... | 07:03 |
| rdvonz | @twitch: If you look at the terminal it says from package lirc (main) | 07:03 |
| Krishnandu | pepee, So I need to compile it again from source code in order to work?? | 07:03 |

| RDove | pepee, i think u filled my name in instead of rdvonz earlier lol | 07:06 |

| rdvonz | @pepee: Thank you! | 07:07 |

| jianfei | lol, but songbird looked nice didnt it.. | 07:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | jianfei: now what didn't you like about songbird? | 07:17 |

| F3RR1S | darkrubysage, maybe... but you have to say what you need help with before someone can evaluate that question.... | 07:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: how's it going | 07:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | F3RR1S: be nice...this room is natorious for ubuntu'ers being not so kind to the ppl that need help | 07:23 |

| darkrubysage | It's an AMD athlon II dual core 2.10GHz | 07:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: sounds like a problem i had before without the livecd. Problem layed in my inittab back when ubuntu used it and just that | 07:25 |

| F3RR1S | darkrubysage, if you burned the disc on regular mode you might want to reburn it at a slow speed say 12 or 24X.... | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | darkrubysage: You did verify the md5sums of the iso file and the cd after you burnt it? | 07:26 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: i would say you should try another cd. sounds like an error with the cd | 07:26 |
| darkrubysage | It's a cd sent to me from Canonical. | 07:26 |
| darkrubysage | Has always worked before, on other computers. | 07:26 |
| palam | i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on a new dell vostro 230s. i'm getting the error ubi-portman crashed with error code 10. any ideas? help please! | 07:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: well atleast the disk looks pretty...when your trying to install are you dual booting? | 07:27 |
| nit-wit | incognito, long download eh | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | palam: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had pc's that had 'picky' optical drives. You could make a bootable flash drive from it. or redownload the iso and check | 07:27 |
| greezmunkey | darkrubysage: It might be worth it to check, maybe the cd reader has an issue... | 07:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: i agree with willis | 07:28 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: ;) | 07:28 |
| pepee | I disagree. darkrubysage try adding some options to grub | 07:28 |
| palam | Jordan_U: unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (read only file system) | 07:28 |
| pepee | it may be some hardware incompatibility | 07:28 |
| darkrubysage | I can't get to the install stage, I insert cd, reboot, see the purple bootsplash, then lines of code that leave me hanging. | 07:28 |
| incognito | nit-wit yeah, but unfortunately it didn't work. I even restarted vlc. | 07:29 |
| palam | Jordan_U: i'm installing on another computer, so can't copy paste - are you looking for anything in particular? | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | darkrubysage: whats Your video chipset? You can always try the 'nomodeset' option. (under the F6 options when uyou boot) | 07:29 |
| incognito | nit-wit maybe it has something to do with my hardware? | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | palam: No, mostly gathering info and seeing if anything pops out. | 07:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | F3RR1S: before i meant ppl usually get shot down sometimes on their questions, especially with ppl in the irc not even giving advice...but just monitoring the room as a wanna be admin | 07:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | F3RR1S: i'm not refering to you btw | 07:30 |
| palam | Jordan_U: /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | palam: That's normal. | 07:31 |
| incognito | nit-wit I ran htop and I saw that rhythmbox was running. does it always start up by default or does it just keep running even though I closed it? | 07:31 |
| palam | Jordan_U: the two items on that list : sizes 0 - 57.5 mb and 57.6 to 2255 mb | 07:31 |
| darkrubysage | My video card is an ATI radeon something or other, can't remember. | 07:32 |
| palam | Dr_Willis: was that flash drive suggestion for me? | 07:32 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | incognito: you have to either right click the icon in the systray and close it or sudo killall rhythmbox. Another way is from the gui | 07:32 |
| nit-wit | incognito, it will sit in the tray after started if not shutdown | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | palam: its a suggestion for anyone with cd issues on install. :) plus installing from flash is a lot faster i find. | 07:33 |
| incognito | thnkx | 07:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: not that it's important but how's the condition of the cd | 07:33 |
| pepee | darkrubysage, what about installing 10.04 and then upgrade it? | 07:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darkrubysage: pepee has it right there | 07:34 |
| pepee | or install ubuntu natty... | 07:34 |

| Glavata | anyone know if I could select where ubuntu 10.10 installs Grub during instalation? It seems like it is installing it on the MBR, but that is not good for me since I have a truecrypted windows partition and that needs the mbr. | 07:35 |
| darkrubysage | So I should try 10.04? | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Glavata: the isntaller has a button/advanced button near the end tio select where to put grub. You could put it on a flash drive if you wanted. | 07:35 |
| pepee | darkrubysage, btw is grub installed on that machine? | 07:35 |
| nit-wit | Glavata, is ths a wubi or partitioned install | 07:36 |
| pepee | darkrubysage, also, you can try and install from USB | 07:36 |
| pepee | or from the 'alternate' CD | 07:36 |
| glassresistor | Im trying to upgrade my iPod touch firmware can I do this from 10.10 | 07:36 |
| darkrubysage | Grub is not installed, I just bought it today with factory settings. | 07:36 |

| Glavata | partition install. I must have missed it while installing. After I partitioned my disk it started copying files and straight asked me to reboot. I remember on older versions it asked me where to put grub | 07:36 |
| F3RR1S | Us3r_Unfriendly, I kind of thought that... but I wanted to make sure what I said did not come through as mean.... | 07:36 |
| pepee | a binch of options, but is easier to just upgrade | 07:37 |
| incognito | nit-wit I don't know what the FF addon video downloadhelper is, but I will google it. Thanks | 07:37 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | F3RR1S: i'm not hating on you...i've seen you give advice to ppl before...unlike one of the guys in here | 07:37 |
| glassresistor | I already unlocked it using the same box | 07:37 |
| darkrubysage | OK, well I'll try 10.04 | 07:38 |
| Glavata | ah I see where I can select the location of grub, it's during the partition phase :) | 07:38 |
| Glavata | thanks guys | 07:38 |
| nit-wit | Glavata, the where the grub goes choice is in the custom install in Maverick, the true cryot thing is going to hang you up it can be fixed. | 07:38 |

| SolarSystem|mobi | Autism and aspergers is what that channel is about | 07:43 |
| zaapiel | or reinstall which ever ones need to be reinstalled? | 07:43 |
| N8Wulf | what will be the best/default/easiest network manager to set in LXDE? | 07:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | zaapiel: could you just boot the old kernel or do you want the updated kernel? | 07:43 |
| nit-wit | SolarSystem|mobi, thats cool I know a bit about that subject just a cursory understanding | 07:43 |
| zaapiel | i want the new kernel | 07:43 |
| SolarSystem|mobi | Cannot join now apparently. That is odd | 07:43 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, whats lxde running on top off | 07:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | zaapiel: so your nv driver not running? | 07:44 |

| nit-wit | N8Wulf, use the tab complete key so we know who your talking to | 07:45 |
| pepee | N8Wulf, install wicd | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | N8Wulf: lubuntu comes with network manager. | 07:45 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, is the network manager not workng | 07:45 |
| incognito | nit-wit so this is not really intended for vlc, but it is just a program for downloading and saving streaming video files. Is that right? | 07:45 |
| pepee | nm is horrible | 07:45 |
| nit-wit | incognito, yes | 07:46 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: there's no network mngr that loads it seems | 07:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | zaapiel: have you tried reinstalling the driver for nvidea? you might have to generate a xorg.conf | 07:46 |
| SolarSystem|mobi | While on the subject, if you have an actual computer instead of my mobile, can you figure out why I cannot join that channel, nit-wit? | 07:46 |

| nit-wit | SolarSystem|mobi, do you have to be signed in with your nick | 07:46 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: no icon... Pidgin opens, but no network connection | 07:46 |
| Jordan_U | SolarSystem|mobi: You probably need to be registered / identified. | 07:47 |

| SolarSystem|mobi | I didn't need to before | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | SolarSystem|mobi: There has been a lot of spam lately so many channels have had to tighten restrictions. | 07:47 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, so hyou just added lxde correct you still have the ubuntu desktop or whatever correct | 07:47 |
| zaapiel | i just thought ubuntu had some way to tell when packages should be reinstalled after a kenrel upgrade | 07:47 |
| pepee | SolarSystem|mobi, probably they changed it | 07:47 |
| zaapiel | Dell made some oss project for it think | 07:47 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: that's correct yes | 07:48 |
| pepee | zaapiel, some packages need to be reconfigured | 07:48 |
| nit-wit | SolarSystem|mobi, I am on but registered my nick in a password yesterday | 07:48 |
| incognito | nit-wit that's great, because I've been trying to find a program for downloading streaming video files, and that is what I was trying to use vlc for. This is actually more closer to what I wanted. I tried to use other linux streaming video capture utilities, but I just having a hard time figuring it out. Thanks | 07:48 |
| pepee | zaapiel, what about dpkg-reconfigure <package>? | 07:48 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: I'm trying to free some resources so my Virtualbox can run with a bit more ram if possible | 07:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | pepee: agreed but sometimes fine tuning a display driver to work you have to configure it into the xorg.conf i speak with experience with intel display drivers | 07:48 |
| pepee | then reboot | 07:48 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, go back and open Ubuntu and make sure the network manager under edit is set to auto connect and all users | 07:49 |
| pepee | Us3r_Unfriendly, ahh yeah | 07:49 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, is this Ubuntu in Vbox | 07:49 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: ah... is that what that's for... thanx | 07:49 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | but generating a xorg.conf in ubuntu is a fun experience since 9.10 stopped using it | 07:49 |

| N8Wulf | nit-wit: no, have it, got gNome-do and dropbox and Fusion icons showing there | 07:56 |
| r00t4rd3d | IntangibleLiquid, first do sudo updatedb then locate bla | 07:57 |

| nit-wit | N8Wulf, can you hard plug the ethernet cord or have you checked maybe your'e on the net | 07:58 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: I just tried plugging a Lan cable, then I get disconnected, maybe because I didn't set the lan connection to also be available to All Users like I did with the Wan connection | 07:59 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: I am on the network via Wifi, as I'm chatting via LXDE at the moment | 08:00 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, yeah set all to all users and autoconnect | 08:00 |
| nit-wit | N8Wulf, just no icon eh | 08:01 |

| Jordan_U | !gksudo | IntangibleLiquid | 08:01 |
| ubottu | IntangibleLiquid: 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) | 08:01 |
| N8Wulf | nit-wit: I will google it later, at least I'm on now | 08:01 |

| Jordan_U | aleron: You don't install programs with "cd". What are you trying to install? | 08:03 |
| incognito | aleron you don't use cd to instal a program. you can use cd to go the the directory where the program is and then install | 08:03 |
| r00t4rd3d | cd = change directory | 08:03 |
| aleron | how is it possible to install it then | 08:03 |

| N8Wulf | nit-wit: maybe I'm confused, I will google it quick | 08:07 |
| r00t4rd3d | bssid is the mac address of the router ? | 08:07 |
| aleron | i already tried what you said and it didnt show the bssid | 08:09 |
| incognito | r00t4rd3d is bssid the mac address of the router? bssid is something that I havn't quite figured out. | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | aleron: Try #aircrack-ng | 08:09 |
| aleron | why thats not going to do nothing | 08:10 |

| incognito | lol | 08:13 |
| aleron | that program captures it | 08:13 |

| soreau | Are there plans to do away with this stupid keyring crap? It's hideous that you would need to be bothered with additional passwords for no reason when connecting to a wifi network or checking email in the default email client | 08:18 |
| incognito | soreau I sure hope so! | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: you can disable it. and use 'unsafe storage' | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Then it dosent ask. | 08:19 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: How can you disable it, please tell me how | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: system -> pref -> passwords/keys - right click on the login: entry - change the password - change it to be blank | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | rather trivial :) | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Its a security feature, so thats why its there. :) | 08:20 |
| nit-wit | soreau, you just don't know how to set the keyring up I only enter a password when going root | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | I find that a lot of the time the keyring asks for the password the first time to use. and people dont notice that. and they just enter their password by default. so it gets set to that by default. | 08:21 |
| incognito | Dr_Willis is that thing on 10.04 because I've never had it come up once since I upgraded to 10.04 about 8 months ago | 08:21 |
| soreau | nit-wit: I hate the damn keyring and don't want to know how to set it up. I want it to die already | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | incognito: you perhaps had it allready set to use 'unsafe storage' then. ie: blank password | 08:21 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: Thanks | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: quit whineing and spend the 30 sec it takes to set it to a blankl password. it never asks again. and it saves your passwords for the other programs to use like its suppsoed to. :) | 08:22 |
| nit-wit | soreau, thats fine but don't ask for help if you get pawned having no password.;) | 08:22 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: I already did. thanks | 08:22 |
| r00t4rd3d | i just fixed that kingring today too | 08:22 |
| r00t4rd3d | asking for pass every boot | 08:22 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: nit-wit: I only complain when it's my distro bothering me, not when I screw something up | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | its a security feature. thats the bottom line. | 08:23 |

| soreau | And also FYI, Ubuntu decided to wipe my gentoo partition on installation of 10.10 when I only told it to use it to auto-mount | 08:24 |
| soreau | And no, I did not accidentally select Format | 08:25 |
| dh003i | hi all, could anyone help me with a recovery of my MBR? I tried to install Windows XP (after Ubuntu 10.10), had a 40 GB partition set aside, deleted that partition with WinXP boot CD, but it wouldn't let me install Windows on it...but then I couldn't boot into Linux | 08:25 |
| soreau | Fortunately it didn't wipe my other partitions that I know of so far | 08:25 |
| soreau | dh003i: Boot a live session then use the instructions here: | 08:26 |
| soreau | ! grub2 | dh003i | 08:26 |
| ubottu | dh003i: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:26 |

| Berzerker | how do I run a file browser as root? | 08:27 |
| incognito | dh003i actually you need to install ubuntu after you install windows | 08:27 |

| dh003i | incognito: well, I kinda can't, Ubuntu already installed...didn't think I'd need Windows until I needed Spectraview II software | 08:28 |
| dh003i | anyways, all my data and root stuff is still there, I checked the partitions | 08:28 |
| F3RR1S | wubi? ...ick... wait till you have issues... r00t4rd3d | 08:28 |
| dh003i | but I just can't seem to get my boot-menu back | 08:28 |
| incognito | dh003i which partition is ubuntu on? | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Berzerker: gksudo nautilus and be VERY carefull doing that. | 08:29 |
| Berzerker | this on a VM, I'm just editing a couple android files | 08:29 |
| Berzerker | I'm not too concerned with security | 08:29 |

| darkrubysage | Can someone help me? I just bought a laptop today - AMD Athlon II p320 2.10 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI something or other graphics card. I can't boot from a livecd, I start it up, see the purple splash screen, then a few screens of code that just hangs. I've tried nomodeset, I tried using a 10.04 cd instead, I tried using a USB, still no luck. All cds are burned well. | 08:30 |
| dh003i | Windows on /dev/sda5 | 08:30 |
| arunkumar413 | it says that that iso resource cannot be loaded by sfx | 08:30 |
| dh003i | Ubuntu is everything else... /dev/sda1 = swap, /dev/sda3 = /, /dev/sda6 = /tmp, /dev/sda7 = /var, and /dev/sda8 = /home | 08:31 |
| c0nv1ct | darkrubysage, tried the alternate cd? | 08:31 |
| r00t4rd3d | darkrubysage, in bios , plug and play os = no ? | 08:31 |
| soreau | darkrubysage: Were you able to get any of the informational messages when it hangs? | 08:31 |
| incognito | dh003i did you put your ubuntu home folder on a separate partition? | 08:32 |
| darkrubysage | It was just a whole list sort of thing of modules, like kernel-image-whatever. | 08:32 |
| incognito | d\h003i oh yeah, I see | 08:32 |
| c0nv1ct | darkrubysage, specifics would be very useful to determine the problem | 08:32 |
| dh003i | incognito, yes see the partition list above../dev/sda8 is /home | 08:33 |
| soreau | darkrubysage: Could be any hardware the kernel is trying to load the module for causing the problem. Try c0nv1ct's suggestion and get the alternate cd to see if it works | 08:33 |
| UbuntuLily | Someone helped me install Ubuntu 10.4 awhile back and I installed my /home as a seperate partition. Can someone walk me through how to do a fresh 10.10 install without wiping my /home folder? I am at the screen where I manually select partition layout in the setup | 08:33 |

| === kthomas is now known as hajoscher | ||

| soreau | UbuntuLily: It is never a bad idea to make backups of your data | 08:36 |
| c0nv1ct | UbuntuLily, would your life suck if you lost everything in /home? if the answer is yes, then you backup | 08:37 |

| === hajoscher is now known as trata | ||
| incognito | dh003i if you install window on any partition other than sda1, sda1 still has to be ntfs because the xp has to have the boot sectors for booting. Afterwards, the ubuntu instal can handle the installation of other OS's and recognize the location of the windows partitions. | 08:38 |

| dh003i | incognito: ahhh, shoot...I don't think I can resize my partitions (right?)...right now, sda1 is swap...but only 16GB...sda5 was unused, so I figured install Windows on that...so could I install it on sda1, then make sda5 my swap and recover my MBR after? | 08:41 |
| soreau | plenty of options | 08:41 |
| incognito | c0nvict yes, but if you don't have the ubuntu install locate the UUID in the windows MBR, then you need to know how to read the windows MBR or extract the UUId from the MBR. Corrrect me if I'm wrong c0nvict. | 08:41 |

| soreau | pkmhs: Now check the output of 'lsmod|grep bluetooth' again. It should show the module is loaded | 09:00 |

| pkmhs | bluetooth is disabled :( | 09:02 |
| soreau | pkmhs: What does '/etc/init.d/bluetooth status' say? | 09:02 |
| t0ba | please? | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | t0ba: gparted can make 'ntfs' and otehr file system patyitions.. but Backtrack has its own support channels.. | 09:03 |
| pkmhs | *bluetooth is not running | 09:03 |
| t0ba | backtrack are ubuntu -.-' | 09:03 |
| incognito | t0ba are you ESL? ntfs driver? ntfs-3g? | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | t0ba: No it is not. | 09:03 |
| soreau | pkmhs: You need to do 'sudo service bluetooth start' or 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start' | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | t0ba: backtrack is based on ubuntu. It has its own support channels/forums and stuff. | 09:04 |
| pkmhs | i am doing it as a root user | 09:04 |
| t0ba | so u dont wanna help me? | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | t0ba: i allredy did answer you - If you want to make ntfs partitions in linux use 'gparted' | 09:04 |
| incognito | t0ba you need ntfs-3g | 09:04 |
| t0ba | well,i wanna back windows,but i cant install becouse it's missing ntfs :( | 09:05 |
| lokii | how install ipw2100 in ubuntu ? | 09:05 |
| t0ba | and delete this shit,and again install kubuntu :( | 09:05 |
| nicofs | I need help: No wireless networks show up in my network manager, so i can't connect to the internet... what might be wrong? | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | t0ba: if youa re having issues reinstalling windows - theres the #windows channel. The windows installer should beable tomake partitions if you have unallocated space. | 09:05 |
| soreau | lokii: Why do you think you need to install a module? | 09:05 |
| pkmhs | soreau: what should i do | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | t0ba: If you are starting over from ground zero. You could use a live cd. with gparted - delete every partition. and make a ntfs at teh start of the HD. then isntall windows there. | 09:06 |
| lokii | i neew wifi :) | 09:06 |
| soreau | pkmhs: You need to get the bluetooth service started. Are those commands failing or giving any error? | 09:06 |

| t0ba | can i create partition with gparted? | 09:07 |
| soreau | pkmhs: I don't know but I suspect the problem is that bluetooth is off in hardware on boot so it doesn't load the module. It might be a good idea to put 'bluetooth' in /etc/modules so it loads it by default then reboot | 09:07 |
| chaospsychex | t0ba yes | 09:08 |

| t0ba | omg | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | punkmexic: the 'fusion-icon' tool lets you cahnge from compiz/metacuity/emerald - if you wanted to | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | punkmexic: or there salways the command line way. It depends on your exact needs | 09:30 |
| punkmexic | is that the only way Dr_Willis | 09:30 |
| t0ba | I did install bt on my hd,but when i did install it,it delete all my memory | 09:30 |
| punkmexic | terminal and fusion icon? | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | punkmexic: what are you changeing it too. | 09:30 |
| incognito | t0ba do you know what a live cd is? | 09:30 |

| quiescens | how can you be more verbose and more concise | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | punkmexic: the gdm login screen has a Menu item at the bottom you can select after you select the user. | 09:31 |
| t0ba | i did create now ntfs partition | 09:32 |
| punkmexic | yes i remember that window Dr_Willis is there a way to do it inside the session | 09:32 |

| reeniginEesreveR | c0nv1ct, the command did something like, it would re-execute the command and get its output as well | 09:54 |

| punkmexic | maybe i need to install more packages? soreau | 10:03 |
| Random832 | er, how'd you kill it before opening a terminal? | 10:03 |

| blacksunseven | Anyone know of a solution to this? | 10:04 |
| Random832 | nicofs: how'd you kill it before opening a terminal? | 10:05 |
| * Random832 is confused | 10:05 | |
| soreau | blacksunseven: Pastebin the failed output? | 10:06 |
| blacksunseven | sure thing, one sec | 10:06 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` | 10:06 |
| nicofs | Random832: the last part of the statement was meant to imply that i'm ready to hack in whatever you say... it has been open before...^^ but one _could_ kill a process with the system monitor if one were not to use a terminal... ;-) | 10:07 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: also, put sudo in front of the command I gave. | 10:07 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: ran that before starting this process | 10:07 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: including the header files for your current kernel? | 10:08 |
| blacksunseven | pastebin.com/tnMyZXh6 | 10:08 |
| Random832 | nicofs: did you do the three commands i said? | 10:08 |
| Random832 | do iwconfig ra0 essid [whatever]; iwconfig ra0 key [whatever]; dhclient ra0 | 10:08 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: yeah, found a similar suggestion on the forums | 10:08 |
| nicofs | Random832: no, sorry, they vanished into one of my thousand reconnects... hang on, i'll change to ethernet... | 10:09 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: ...because it sounds like you don't have them installed. Vmware is pretty good at locating and using them. | 10:09 |
| blacksunseven | i'm double checking | 10:09 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: pastebin.com/ugnxsHV4 | 10:10 |
| Random832 | nicofs: could the fact that your wireless network keeps dropping out be part of the problem? | 10:10 |
| padi999 | hi all | 10:10 |
| Random832 | just sayin | 10:10 |
| Random832 | nicofs: those commands again - iwconfig ra0 essid [whatever]; iwconfig ra0 key [whatever]; dhclient ra0 | 10:11 |
| nicofs | Random832, i don't think so - there are at least 20 wireless networks around in this place... it should list at least one of them... | 10:11 |
| jimcooncat | I'd like to try a tiling window manager without messing up my system in case I go back. Any tips? | 10:11 |
| Random832 | forget about listing - just connect it straight up to _your_ network and see if _that_ works | 10:11 |
| padi999 | my friend wants to partition an external WD-HDD (1TB) with a suitable OS X partition for easy access with his MACbook. Now I don't know with what partition type I should format it with fdisk. In it's table of types I see OS/2 hidden or boot manager but not OSX. | 10:12 |
| soreau | Random832: You could run it all as one command; iwconfig $IFACE essid [essid] key [wep key]; dhclient $IFACE | 10:12 |
| soreau | Random832: Alternatively for wpa you would want wpa_supplicant most likely | 10:13 |
| Random832 | bah i'm just telling him what works for me | 10:13 |
| blacksunseven | padi999: try using gparted or Disk Utility and using FAT32 - Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows all read and write to it natively | 10:13 |
| blacksunseven | padi999: not that there aren't downsides to it (4GB filesize limit) | 10:13 |
| soreau | ! worksforme | Random832 | 10:13 |

| blacksunseven | (no journaling) | 10:13 |
| nicofs | Random832, erm... what shall i put in for essid or key? this network has no key... it's "WPA/WPA2, EAP-PEAP, MSCHAPV2" | 10:14 |
| Random832 | soreau: what the heck does that have to do with what i said - i wasn't saying download some bleeding-edge program | 10:14 |
| incognito | jimcooncat you should be able to install any wm you want and uninstall it if you don't want it. It should not cause any problem if it is in the ubuntu repositiories. | 10:14 |
| Jordan_U | padi999: fdisk deals with the partition table, not with filesystems. What you need is a *filesystem* that OSX supports, like fat32,ntfs, or hfsplus. | 10:14 |
| Random832 | nicofs: uh, don't _you_ have a wireless network? | 10:14 |
| blacksunseven | i think rob_p gave up on my problem ;P | 10:14 |
| nicofs | Random832, i could make an ad-hoc network from my other notebook... | 10:15 |
| padi999 | Jordan_U: fdisk can chose the partition type filesystem, yes I thought there was a native OSX filesystem | 10:15 |
| Random832 | gah | 10:15 |
| jimcooncat | incognito, that's nice to know. I guess I'll try it with the livecd first | 10:15 |
| Random832 | pick a network that doesn't do WPA, to keep it simple | 10:15 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: In your /usr/src directory, do you have a sym-link named, "linux" which links to the directory containing your current kernel headerfiles? | 10:15 |
| Jordan_U | padi999: patition type is not the same as filesystem type (though there is some correlation). fdisk does not understand anything about filesystems. | 10:16 |

| blacksunseven | rob_p: nope, just linux-headers-2.6.35-22 and linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic dirs | 10:16 |
| nicofs | Random832, i don't know any of the keys/pwds for the other networks... | 10:16 |

| dan86 | Not the answer i was looking for =/ | 10:17 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: try creating a sym-link named, "linux" and make it point to the directory containing the headers. | 10:17 |

| blacksunseven | to be clear, i create a symlink named "linux" to "linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic" | 10:22 |
| Weedo | how do you set an existing ubuntu installation to save documents on a different partitoin? | 10:22 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: restarting install | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: what filesystem is the partition? - you just mount it somewhere the user can write to. | 10:22 |
| Weedo | ext4 | 10:23 |
| Weedo | i want my docs and stuff on there | 10:23 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: Yes, in the /usr/src directory you will have a symlink named linux which points to the directory containing the headers. | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: set the permissions/ownership of the fs. tobe owned by your user then. or make a directory on it. and chown/chmod that for the user to access | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: chown/chmod the /media/MOUNTPOINT or a dir on the filesystem. | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: then you ruser has full access to the filesystem. | 10:24 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: i'm just unsure if the headers are in the kernel dir or the kernel/include dir | 10:24 |
| Weedo | i have access | 10:24 |
| Weedo | i want links ad things to automatically defualt to it | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: so clarify the problem then? | 10:24 |
| nicofs | Random832, i created a network with no security called "ac100test". how would i connect to that? | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: you want to move the users HOME to that filesystem you mean to say? | 10:25 |
| Weedo | pretty much | 10:25 |
| Random832 | nicofs: set the essid to ac100test | 10:25 |
| Jordan_U | !separatehome | Weedo | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Weedo: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 10:25 |
| Random832 | and then you shouldn't need the key thing | 10:25 |
| Weedo | thanks | 10:25 |
| nicofs | Random832, ok, i did... | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Weedo: so remount home to the fs. or link /home/YOURUSERNAME to the /media/MOUNTPOINT | 10:25 |
| Random832 | then do dhclient ra0 | 10:25 |
| soreau | nico1038_: AFAICT, you have some sort of driver problem. Does dmesg show any errors? | 10:25 |
| Random832 | soreau: his interface shows up in iwconfig | 10:26 |
| Random832 | so the driver loads | 10:26 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: no dice | 10:26 |
| soreau | Random832: That means nothing. It also worked from his SD card | 10:26 |
| gwapoto | nmn | 10:26 |
| Random832 | http://wiki.debian.org/rt2870sta indicates there may be firmware needed | 10:26 |
| gwapoto | kl;. | 10:27 |
| gwapoto | opo | 10:27 |
| * Random832 feels bad for not searching on that before when you first said what driver it is | 10:27 | |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: If VMware didn't locate the headers after that, I don't know what to tell you. I've installed VMware dozens of times and never had it fail to find the headers once I had them installed and the sym-link in place. You've exhausted my (not so) vast knowledge base... | 10:27 |
| soreau | Random832: ubuntu includes firmware, debian does not include any proprietary firmware | 10:27 |
| Random832 | soreau: don't you have to pick it from the restricted driver menu thing though? | 10:27 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: there's obviously some issue at play here; what you (and others) have suggested should have worked but doesnt. thanks for the help though | 10:27 |
| soreau | Random832: No. | 10:27 |
| gwapoto | does it work? | 10:27 |
| nicofs | Random832, the thin is that as far as i know, the device is rt3070sta - as is the loaded driver | 10:27 |
| nicofs | Random832, and the driver was on that additional drivers dialogue | 10:28 |
| Random832 | i just know i had to apt-get install firmware for my brother on kubuntu [it was a different kind of card] | 10:28 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: Ok, good luck with it. Sorry I don't have more for you to try. | 10:28 |
| Jordan_U | gwapoto: Does what work? | 10:28 |
| nicofs | Random832, i think i would have install a dhcp server on my other netbook for that dhcp thing to wrk on the other one... | 10:29 |
| soreau | Random832: linux-firmware is installed by default. The only firmware that isnt installed are ones with licensing issues like with bc43xx | 10:30 |
| blacksunseven | rob_p: what's odd is this pastebin.com/sKZHQC6H | 10:30 |
| blacksunseven | see how its search for a valid kernel header path returns "" ? | 10:31 |
| soreau | nicofs: Did you check dmesg for error messages? Have you tried booting a live session from the sd card again and inspecting the working setup? | 10:31 |
| Random832 | ok | 10:31 |
| rob_p | blacksunseven: Yeah, that is strange. The VMware tools installer must be picking that up from some config or something because when I run it, it returns a sane path. | 10:32 |
| nicofs | soreau, what am i looking for in dmesg? | 10:32 |
| soreau | nicofs: any error messages pertaining to the driver module | 10:33 |

I know how to edit the xbindkeys config-file, but i cant get the names of of programs (or the processes). Is there any program to find the name of the process (that i can shortcut into it)? And how can I shortcut to open firefox (the command is firefox) And to fill two forms and to press a button? | 11:29 |
| von_Z | Is there a program to check out the names of the forms and buttons? | 11:29 |
| soreau | incognito: Nothing. I dont recommend nonstandard software for important tasks | 11:29 |
| springer | XenophiliusPhoen boot into gparted (or qtparted) then you can shrink the windows partition and make a new one | 11:29 |
| Jordan_U | XenophiliusPhoen: Ubuntu defaults to installing "sid by side" (dual boot) rezising Windows as part of the install process. | 11:29 |
| us3r_unfriendly | von_Z: sudo top....well sudo htop is better | 11:30 |
| soreau | XenophiliusPhoen: Ubuntu will detect other installed OS and help you partition the drive | 11:30 |
| us3r_unfriendly | von_Z: are you trying to setup shortcuts? | 11:30 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | ....Just curious, if i do happen to lose Windows XP in the process, is there a way.... that i can somehow get my OS back without having the CD? | 11:30 |
| soreau | XenophiliusPhoen: no | 11:31 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | o_o;; | 11:31 |
| us3r_unfriendly | XenophiliusPhoen: get your hands on a hard copy! | 11:31 |
| sagaci | Just backup your stuff | 11:31 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Im not worried about anything else but the OS in general | 11:31 |
| Administrator_ | what is the default firewall of ubuntu ? | 11:31 |
| sagaci | Or install it in a virtual machine | 11:31 |
| soreau | XenophiliusPhoen: The OS? | 11:32 |
| sagaci | None | 11:32 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPhoen no that is not true. You can install ubuntu and it will see the windows and ask you if you want to share the drive 50-50 with the existing OS (windows) | 11:32 |
| Jordan_U | !firewall | Administrator_ | 11:32 |
| ubottu | Administrator_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 11:32 |
| us3r_unfriendly | XenophiliusPhoen: it's like bestbuy doesn't give out recovery disks out anymore....you can fix windows from the recovery boot option (which is another partition) but what happens when my drive crashes? | 11:32 |
| bonjoyee | XenophiliusPhoen: dont forget to select "manual partitioning" while installing ubuntu..if you happen to do so.. | 11:32 |
| Administrator_ | Jordan_U, thanks Sir | 11:32 |
| Jordan_U | bonjoyee: No need to do manual partitioning just to dual boot. | 11:32 |
| Jordan_U | Administrator_: You're welcome. | 11:32 |
| von_Z | us3r_unfriendly, Thanks. Yes i am trying to do that to my Xubuntu with xdindkey.. I want to open Thunderbird and press "check mail" with shortcuts + I want to open a browser, add text to forms and press a button with a shortcut. Cool would be if the shortcut would press a different button automatically when the next page loads.. :) | 11:33 |
| us3r_unfriendly | XenophiliusPhoen: it's good to have a hard copy of the os you need...especially in linux. LiveCd's are awesome | 11:33 |
| bonjoyee | Jordan_U:...yes but wont ubuntu ask for partitioning? | 11:33 |
| === a_ is now known as Ujabuja | ||
| XenophiliusPhoen | OH i know | 11:33 |
| soreau | bonjoyee: Ubuntu will attempt to detect other OSes installed in the machine and allow for automagic guided partitioning | 11:33 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | There was this program inside of Windows XP but my computer type is Compaq.... I made recovery discs but is that for the OS or the Compaq system itself? | 11:34 |
| us3r_unfriendly | von_Z: shell script time | 11:34 |
| Jordan_U | bonjoyee: The installer asks how much space you want allocated for windows and how much for Ubuntu and sets up the rest (resizing and creating an apropriate / and swap partition) automatically. | 11:34 |
| us3r_unfriendly | von #! | 11:34 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | It showed a compaq icon on the side..... Idk how to describe it | 11:34 |
| von_Z | us3r_unfriendly, ? :) | 11:34 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPhoen unless you want to make a seperate partition to share the data files. Then you will need a partitioner. In any case, you should backup you window mydocuments (if that is where you store all your data) when you start messing with the partition tables. | 11:34 |
| soreau | XenophiliusPhoen: That is really beyond the scope of this channel since it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu | 11:34 |
| us3r_unfriendly | it sounds like this could be done through a script | 11:35 |
| springer | I need advice as to getting my dvb-t usb card recognizing the firmware. The relevant firmware is saved in /lib/firmware, but if I look at dmesg it does not even try to load the firmware | 11:35 |
| Jordan_U | XenophiliusPhoen: That's generally for the entire OS, for more info on that try ##windows. | 11:35 |
| soreau | springer: Is there a driver module for the device? | 11:35 |
| sagaci | Partitioning is destructive so if you don't do it right, you can screw things up. Don't do it if you need to rely on that machine | 11:35 |
| soreau | Partitioning is only destructive if you do it wrong | 11:36 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPhoen the recovery disk is both for the os and the compac. it is the os configured for that computer. | 11:36 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Sweet | 11:36 |
| bonjoyee | XenophiliusPhoen: its for restoring your computer to the factory condition.....will undo all changes u made since...including the disk partitions.. | 11:36 |
| sagaci | Yeah ok whatever | 11:36 |
| soreau | incognito: This isnt #compaq | 11:37 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | =_= | 11:37 |
| springer | soreau not sure, how do I check, I have followed the linux tv instructions up to now | 11:37 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | soreau he is only helping out, im mainly trying to focus on Ubuntu however i also have other worries... | 11:37 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Sorry if the topic isnt all about Ubuntu, but im new to Dual Booting | 11:38 |
| incognito | soreau I'm answering his questions so he knows how to do an ubuntu dual boot. So BUT OUT! | 11:38 |
| soreau | springer: What is the device reported as with lsusb? | 11:38 |
| bonjoyee | soreau: arent we just helping a guy install ubuntu? | 11:38 |
| sagaci | Have you tried ubuntu in a vm? | 11:38 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | No im running it on a USB right now | 11:38 |
| springer | soreau: ID 1f4d:9016 G-Tek Electronics Group | 11:39 |
| sagaci | Is that your primary machine? | 11:39 |
| springer | soreau I have been using this: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DigitalNow_TinyTwin_DVB-T_Receiver | 11:39 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Yes, however it is a piece of.... Just, yeah. | 11:39 |
| nicofs | How do i find out, where my kernel headers are located? | 11:40 |
| sagaci | How big is the hard drive | 11:40 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | 142GB | 11:40 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Why? | 11:40 |
| sagaci | If you do go ahead with it, defrag your hard drive from windows first | 11:41 |
| Pablo1 | nicofs: locate headers | 11:41 |
| soreau | springer: AFAICT, dvb-usb-af9015 is the module name. Does lsmod|grep dvd show any output? | 11:41 |
| nicofs | Pablo1, is it possible not to have kernel headers?!? | 11:42 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | sagaci, Sheesh cant i just install without going back to windows to just defrag =_= or can i defrag it here? | 11:42 |
| Weedo | just successfully moved my home directory to another partition!! | 11:42 |
| bonjoyee | nicofs: yes... | 11:42 |
| Pablo1 | nicofs: yes | 11:42 |
| c0nv1ct | XenophiliusPhoen, if you care about your windows install, defrag it from windows | 11:42 |
| === Leon is now known as Guest8750 | ||
| sagaci | Well do whatever you want but if you want the safe route... | 11:43 |
| nicofs | How do i point the makefile of the driver i need to headers that aren't there?!? | 11:43 |
| c0nv1ct | XenophiliusPhoen, if you dont care if it wont boot again, go ahead and risk it | 11:43 |
| Jordan_U | XenophiliusPhoen: c0nv1ct: sagaci: From man ntfsresize "Defragmentation is NOT required prior to resizing because the program can relocate any data if needed, without risking data integrity." | 11:43 |
| c0nv1ct | Jordan_U, even data windows itself refuses to move when it defrags? | 11:43 |
| bonjoyee | nicofs: install them...look for headers in the repo | 11:43 |
| bagshik | Need some help here :) ? | 11:43 |
| Weedo | is there any way to stop gparted checking for errors? | 11:43 |
| springer | soreau, no, nothing | 11:44 |
| Jordan_U | c0nv1ct: Yes. The reason that it refuses to move it is because it's in use (not a problem when you're booted from a linux liveCD). | 11:44 |
| nicofs | bonjoyee, the driver in question is the one to make my internet work | 11:44 |
| soreau | springer: Try sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 | 11:44 |
| Pablo1 | nicofs: wifi? | 11:44 |
| bagshik | does someone know how to fix boot issues ? | 11:44 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | bagshik | 11:45 |
| nicofs | Pablo1, yes. wifi - and wifi only... no ethernet | 11:45 |
| ubottu | bagshik: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:45 |
| bonjoyee | nicofs: have you installed build-essential package...its on the installation disk..i think it has them | 11:45 |
| sagaci | What boot issues, specifically | 11:45 |
| c0nv1ct | Jordan_U, makes sense, but then why does resizing the partition sometimes bork a windows install? | 11:45 |
| bagshik | well I installed Ubuntu after installing Windows 7 | 11:45 |
| nicofs | bonjoyee, and no disk drive... | 11:45 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | So pretty much all i have to do is click install partition manually set to what i want the GB to be for the partition and it will be over with and i will still have my Windows XP OS and please say yes because im tech-retarded sometimes. | 11:45 |
| bagshik | but now I can't boot Windows 7 anymore | 11:45 |
| bonjoyee | nicofs: an iso? | 11:45 |
| bagshik | there is a grub menu when I start the computer | 11:45 |
| halfie | banshee / amarok / rhythmbox .. help me decide a music player | 11:46 |
| bagshik | but I can only boot Ubuntu | 11:46 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPheon if you backup your mydocuments folder (assuming that you save all you data in that folder) then you won't loose anything if you windows doesn't boot after resize. you will just have to reinstall, but partition before installation in that case. | 11:46 |
| bonjoyee | mount it....using mount command.. | 11:46 |
| Jordan_U | c0nv1ct: Because any type of resizing carries some risk. | 11:46 |
| springer | soreau, still npothing | 11:46 |
| soreau | springer: nothing what where? | 11:46 |
| nicofs | bonjoyee, custom ARM Kernel... | 11:46 |
| bagshik | If someone knows how to fix that, please answer me ><... | 11:46 |
| bonjoyee | nicofs: im out of this;) | 11:47 |
| springer | soreau sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 returns nothing | 11:47 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, did you try `sudo update-grub2` yet? | 11:47 |
| bagshik | wait I will try it :) | 11:47 |
| soreau | springer: No output means success. Now check lsmod to see the module loaded and dmesg for any additional messages | 11:48 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPheon in my experience, manual installation often doesn't work unless you have already partitioned the drive. Technically it's supposed to work, but on the multiple installations I have done it has never worked unless I partitiion and format before I install. | 11:48 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, it will list the OSes it finds, if Win7 is listed, you should be good to go | 11:48 |
| Jordan_U | c0nv1ct: Resizing can also simply present physical problems with the drive as data is being read and re-written (and to a different area of the disk). | 11:48 |
| sagaci | Bag, can you still access your windows part in nautilus | 11:48 |
| bagshik | how do I do that ? | 11:49 |
| bagshik | in terminak ? | 11:49 |
| bagshik | l* | 11:49 |
| bagshik | WINDOWS 7 is listed :) | 11:49 |
| bagshik | on /dev/sda1 | 11:49 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, was windows 7 listed when you booted last? | 11:50 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, in the grub menu i mean | 11:50 |
| bagshik | yes it was but now it's GRUB2 | 11:50 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, k, just making sure that was the problem... wasnt sure if i understood correctly | 11:50 |
| Jordan_U | bagshik: What happens when you try to boot windows? | 11:50 |
| bagshik | wait I will tell | 11:50 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPheon if you use the default automatic ubuntu repartition, it works pretty good from what I have heard from many other ubuntu users. | 11:51 |
| bagshik | I'm gonna restart now | 11:51 |
| bagshik | can I talk with you in private if you have time convict ? | 11:51 |
| sagaci | Bag, make sure os-prober is installed and then run update grub | 11:51 |
| bagshik | or Jordan | 11:51 |
| bagshik | os-prober ? | 11:51 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Im not going to try the default, because i heard it causes problems x.x | 11:51 |
| springer | soreau output: http://pastebin.com/Yxfq4vZ4 | 11:51 |
| bagshik | how do I get it sagaci ? | 11:51 |
| Jordan_U | !pm | bagshik | 11:51 |
| ubottu | bagshik: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 11:51 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, you already did that man... go ahead and reboot and see | 11:51 |
| bagshik | ok ;) | 11:52 |
| bagshik | ok | 11:52 |
| soreau | springer: Looks good. Now can you use the device? | 11:52 |
| Jordan_U | bagshik: That said, if you're having problems following the conversation I don't mind helping in PM (but I'd prefer to stay in-channel). | 11:52 |
| springer | soreau, no | 11:52 |
| soreau | springer: Well that is as far as I can help you since I am not familiar with the specific type of device you are using | 11:53 |
| springer | soreau thanks for everything, I'll keep trying | 11:53 |
| sagaci | Bag, i had the same problem before try sudo apt-get install os-prober | 11:53 |
| === silence is now known as Guest52215 | ||
| soreau | springer: Note that the modprobe command loaded the driver. lsmod lists the currently loaded modules and dmesg outputs your system log information (stuff like driver errors etc) | 11:54 |
| XenophiliusPhoen | Ugh now im wondering if i should even bother =_= | 11:55 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPheon then I recommend that you use qtparted or just straight parted or fdisk to partition, because every time I ever tried to use gparted, it never worked. | 11:55 |
| bagshik | I just rebooted, here is the error : Windows can't start and Status : 0xc000000f | 11:55 |
| bagshik | It says try to insert the Windows 7 dvd and repair the computer | 11:56 |
| sagaci | So it's on the menu now? | 11:56 |
| bagshik | yes it is :) | 11:56 |
| Jordan_U | XenophiliusPhoen: If you follow the instructions in the installer and use automatic partitioning it's very easy and 99% chance partitioning will go fine and you'll still be able to boot windows. And for the off 1% you have recovery disks. | 11:56 |
| sagaci | Insert the dvd then | 11:56 |
| bagshik | the problem is when I try to repair | 11:57 |
| bagshik | it says that Windows can't find any OS on your hard driver to repair | 11:57 |
| bagshik | it's really weird :S | 11:57 |
| bagshik | is it because of GRUB ? | 11:57 |
| Jordan_U | bagshik: No, by that point GRUB has long since finished its job. | 11:58 |
| sagaci | Maybe you might be better off to reinstall windows | 11:58 |
| bagshik | yes I tried that too :S | 11:58 |
| bagshik | the installer couldn't find any hard drive | 11:58 |
| bagshik | I don't understand the problem | 11:59 |
| bonjoyee | bagshik: can you boot ubuntu on that computer? | 11:59 |
| sagaci | Reinstall will wipe the slate clean | 11:59 |
| bagshik | what do you mean ? | 11:59 |
| incognito | XenophiliusPhoen I agree with Jordan_U. I know a lot of really super uber hard core linux users who have told me many times that the automatic partitioning is very reliable. I just never use it myself, becuase I always want to have a data drive that is shared by all OS's on my box. | 11:59 |
| bagshik | I'm on Ubuntu now ? | 11:59 |
| bagshik | well first of all, how can I access all my files on ubuntu ? | 11:59 |
| Jordan_U | bagshik: Try asking in ##windows. | 11:59 |
| bagshik | on all the partitions of the hard drive | 12:00 |
| bagshik | is there a way ? | 12:00 |
| sagaci | Your windows files? | 12:00 |
| Jordan_U | bagshik: Places > Computer | 12:00 |
| bagshik | ok wait let's see | 12:00 |
| sagaci | Obv not | 12:01 |
| bonjoyee | bagshik: could you paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? | 12:01 |
| bonjoyee | bonjoyee: use pastebin though.. | 12:02 |
| sagaci | :> | 12:02 |
| incognito | bagshik you should be able to see all your partitions in ubuntu | 12:04 |
| bagshik | I see the most of them | 12:04 |
| bagshik | but not the partition with windows on it | 12:04 |
| bagshik | so I can't access my previous files on Windows | 12:04 |
| bagshik | I'm trying to find a way but I'm new to ubuntu >< | 12:04 |

| tmedema | Hi folks. I have been struggling with an issue for a while now. I bought a toshiba satellite l670 notebook, with windows 7 and downloaded ubuntu 10.10. I installed ubuntu 10.10 from the CD, this works fine, also had an internet connection. With the CD, I can even run linux without installing without problems (with gnome too). However, after installing I can only run ubuntu in fail safe graphics mode. If I run it normally, it does not | 12:07 |
| incognito | bagshik read those instructions | 12:07 |
| soreau | craig_: Boot into recovery mode and drop to a root shell then run that command | 12:07 |
| bagshik | here is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/545225/ | 12:08 |
| craig_ | soreau, im on recovery now | 12:08 |
| jurgentje | http://paste.ubuntu.com/545226/ <- trying to run ./configure on the entangle-0.2.0 source. Anyone with a clue? | 12:08 |
| tmedema | Also, every few seconds about 13 lines popup right through my text. And, when I look through the logs at startup, it says : Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found. | 12:08 |
| craig_ | ppa-purge is an unknown command? | 12:08 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, do `sudo fdisk -l` to list all partitions, you should see the NTFS one your windows is on | 12:08 |
| bagshik | ok ;) | 12:08 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, well it's pretty self-explanatory. "Package 'hal' not found" | 12:08 |
| soreau | craig_: Install it. | 12:09 |
| craig_ | ah ok ty | 12:09 |
| tmedema | When I run startx manually in the console, I get a black screen and nothing happens. It only works with fail safe graphics mode in recovery mode. | 12:09 |
| craig_ | soreau, sory, its inferus, cant change nick =-] | 12:09 |
| jurgentje | dnivra, it is installed, it's version 0.54-ubuntu | 12:09 |
| craig_ | soreau, now i've done that, how do i put the normal xorg back on | 12:09 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, Do read even below-"you may set the environment variables...." | 12:09 |
| craig_ | or does it do that automatically?> | 12:09 |
| soreau | craig_: You have done what? | 12:09 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, if you see it listed, note it's /dev/sd?? device address, you can use that to mount the filesystem so you can access the files | 12:10 |
| craig_ | ppa-purge | 12:10 |
| bagshik | I can't see any NTFS on the list, here is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/545227/ | 12:10 |
| craig_ | does it swap it back to normal xorg stuff | 12:10 |
| magman | #ubuntu | 12:10 |
| jurgentje | dnivra, well... there's my question... what should I set those variables to? | 12:10 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, "PKG_CONFIG_PATH" i guess. | 12:10 |
| jurgentje | I don't have a clue how to figure that one out | 12:10 |
| soreau | craig_: Yes it should completely restore to official ubuntu packages | 12:10 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, you are using SFS? o.O | 12:10 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, neither do I :). maybe you should check the forums. | 12:10 |

| soreau | craig_: Works great with gallium driver | 12:12 |

| jurgentje | dnivra, you tell me :D | 12:13 |
| soreau | craig_: What was buggered about it? | 12:13 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, when you resized the partitions, did you make room in front of the windows partition instead of behind it? | 12:13 |
| Spoilt | Hello everyone | 12:13 |
| bagshik | wait let me remember >< | 12:13 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, well i have no clue; lemme check. | 12:13 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, to be quite honest, your partition layout is totally confusing | 12:14 |
| bagshik | I did the partitioning in Windows | 12:14 |
| Advo | Hi there, i ran some commands from another terminal (which is still in use), i cant check bash history as ive not ended the session, is there a way I can see what i typed in an active session? I'm logged in as the same user.. | 12:14 |
| bagshik | really ? | 12:14 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, your swap looks bigger than your root filesystem | 12:14 |

| Spoilt | hey anyone | 12:15 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, maybe somebody could help. i don't know :). | 12:15 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, you did that in windows? it doesn't look like either SFS partition is big enough for windows | 12:15 |
| Spoilt | please help me with ubuntu drivers for wifi | 12:15 |
| bagshik | but what's the problem here :S ? | 12:15 |
| bagshik | and what's SFS ? | 12:16 |
| soreau | Spoilt: Which card is it as reported by lspci? | 12:16 |
| bagshik | cause I never saw it in Windows | 12:16 |
| jurgentje | dnivra, thanks for looking with me :D ... I just wanted to join their mailing list... and got the developer's email address... I'll mail with him :) | 12:16 |
| wish^ | I cant access the grub boot menu, when i press "esc" at boot i get an error "Glib-warning" and the computer just continues to boot | 12:16 |
| misreckoning | oh... it seems that 58xx cards aren't supported -. | 12:16 |
| misreckoning | -.- | 12:16 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, SFS is probably dynamic disks | 12:17 |
| soreau | misreckoning: you mean radeon hd58xx? | 12:17 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, could you try install libhal-dev and try? | 12:17 |

| incognito | bagshik is the windows a new install, or was it already existing? | 12:17 |
| bagshik | it was already there | 12:17 |
| misreckoning | soreau: any ideas? | 12:17 |
| soreau | misreckoning: It is supported by the proprietary fglrx driver as well as the open radeon driver upstream | 12:18 |
| bagshik | I can format and reinstall everything but I need my files | 12:18 |
| magman | Ubuntu is Great | 12:18 |
| bagshik | and in ubuntu I don't know the way to access them | 12:18 |
| Spoilt | how to install drivers for BCM4313 chipset wifi | 12:18 |
| soreau | ! broadcom | Spoilt | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Spoilt: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 12:18 |
| jurgentje | dnivra, good idea, trying it right away :) | 12:18 |
| bagshik | ubuntu is good but apparently not in dualboot | 12:18 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, did you backup your files? | 12:18 |
| misreckoning | soreau: yes I've been using fglrx so far, but now I wanted to try the open driver... | 12:18 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, ubuntu dual boots fine, i dont know what you did to end up with this | 12:18 |
| bagshik | no I didn't, I know it's stupid | 12:18 |
| magman | If you are not sure about it run it in (VB) Virtual Box and ease into it.... | 12:18 |
| incognito | bagshik did you pastebint the sudo blkid output? I didn't see it. | 12:18 |
| misreckoning | soreau: also tried the ppa repository with newer radeon drivers but it didn't help, so, whats that upstream? | 12:18 |
| jurgentje | dnivra, thanks... That got me an item further :D | 12:19 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, np :) | 12:19 |
| bagshik | what did I have to do ? | 12:19 |
| bagshik | tell me the command | 12:19 |
| jurgentje | how I didn't think of installing the dev files myself. | 12:19 |
| * opensauce needs assistance... what is the correct way to install sshd from the shell with pacman - or is it installed already? | 12:19 | |
| soreau | misreckoning: Then you will want to install xorg-edgers repo and subsequently, libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental | 12:19 |
| bagshik | I'm gonna try with fixboot | 12:19 |
| dnivra | jurgentje, neither did I. just google suggested trying that :) | 12:19 |
| misreckoning | soreau: got it | 12:19 |
| Spoilt | hey soreau and ubottu i have read this whole thing but was still unable to solve the problem | 12:19 |
| bonjoyee | c0nv1ct: is testdisk an option for bagshik? | 12:19 |
| incognito | bagshik open the terminal and type: sudo blkid | 12:19 |
| bagshik | ok | 12:19 |
| dnivra | Spoilt, uBOTtu is a bot :) | 12:20 |
| soreau | misreckoning: But you must completely remove fglrx since it does not allow the open driver to work | 12:20 |
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, maybe worth a try, but it looks like it was written over | 12:20 |
| Spoilt | can u ppl explain to me step by step | 12:20 |
| craig_ | right soreau will nopaste the log | 12:20 |
| jurgentje | dnivra, what search terms did you use? | 12:20 |
| misreckoning | soreau: done that | 12:20 |
| gharz | guys, is ubuntu netbook remix only runs with netbooks? can i also install this on a regular laptop? | 12:20 |
| incognito | bagshik and then copy and paste the output to pastebin. | 12:20 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, that fdisk output shows that the only non-ubuntu space totals 300mb | 12:20 |
| Spoilt | i am a noob in ubuntu pls help here | 12:20 |
| misreckoning | soreau: I'll try harder... tty if anything changes | 12:20 |

| bagshik | http://paste.ubuntu.com/545228/ | 12:20 |
| bonjoyee | c0nv1ct: as if its a high level format..the data shud be there? | 12:20 |
| soreau | misreckoning: Also you will likely want a latest kernel, the very latest not provided by any ppa though the kernel pps is better than nothing | 12:21 |
| bagshik | Oh my God really convict ? :S... | 12:21 |
| c0nv1ct | bagshik, unless it was overwritten, then it may not be as easy to recover | 12:21 |

| bagshik | I'm gonna try and reboot | 12:21 |
| bagshik | I will let you know | 12:21 |
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, actually, since his swap is the largest partition, it may not have been written hardly at all | 12:21 |
| Spoilt | soreau pls help | 12:21 |
| Spoilt | step by step | 12:22 |
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, most of the data can probably be recovered from that area | 12:22 |

| gobbe | gharz: so feel free to run it on whatever you want :) | 12:22 |
| gharz | gobbe & rooks: i see. thanks for the info | 12:22 |
| bonjoyee | c0nv1ct: i strongly recommend testdisk here..nothing to lose!! | 12:22 |
| bagshik | ok | 12:22 |
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, testdisk is always worth a try | 12:22 |
| soreau | craig_: 1) Why are you using an xorg.conf file? 2) Why are you trying to load fglrx? It hasnt supported your card for years | 12:23 |
| c0nv1ct | it has saved my rear many times | 12:23 |
| van7hu | hi, has anyone here used sakis3g ? | 12:23 |

| gobbe | gharz: i dont know about wubi, i prefer normal installation on second partition if i want to save windows also | 12:24 |
| soreau | craig_: I never told you to use an xorg.conf file. You should not even have an xorg.conf file | 12:24 |
| craig_ | soreau, have no idea matey, honestly | 12:24 |
| craig_ | what should i be on / have? | 12:24 |
| gobbe | gharz: if you have normal ubuntu already just insall unity | 12:24 |
| gobbe | gharz: then you can run normal gnome or unity | 12:24 |
| gharz | gobbe: oooohhhh | 12:24 |
| gharz | gobbe: does it mean that netbook remix is just the same as ubuntu with gnome except for unity? | 12:25 |
| bonjoyee | bagshik: c0nv1ct: /dev/sda4 seems to be the hp recovery partition...see if we have recovery option in BIOS? | 12:25 |
| c0nv1ct | i wanna know how bagshik ended up with a 228gb swap | 12:25 |
| craig_ | LMAO | 12:25 |
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, but it is only 100mb | 12:25 |
| bonjoyee | c0nv1ct: oh...is it? | 12:25 |
| c0nv1ct | between sda2 and sda3 there are like 300gb of unused space | 12:25 |
| gharz | gobbe: i thought netbook remix has a different boot procedure | 12:26 |
| === risc is now known as eurisko | ||

| DaPsou | hi, i've got a problem with intel tvout and ubuntu 10.10, my screen flicker like hell when something move at screen, i've tried with vesa drier and no problem .. any idea ? | 12:26 |
| Timmmm | Hi, I have a device that identifies itself as a printer, causing ubuntu to search for drivers every time I turn it on. How can I stop this? | 12:26 |
| c0nv1ct | i think that fdisk output is the most confusing i've ever seen, doesnt make a bit of sense | 12:27 |
| wish^ | really bazhang? | 12:27 |
| bonjoyee | c0nv1ct: any way to restore the partition table? apart from testdisk? | 12:27 |
| bazhang | wish^, yes | 12:27 |
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, testdisk would be simplest | 12:27 |
| soreau | craig_: X is smart enough to know what is best for most setups. You should get rid of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:27 |
| === serdar is now known as Guest33939 | ||
| c0nv1ct | bonjoyee, there is photorec | 12:27 |
| craig_ | oh? | 12:28 |
| soreau | craig_: Also your log cuts off some lines but I suspect you are booting with radeon.modeset=0 which is not allowing gallium to work at all | 12:28 |
| DaPsou | photorec is based on testdisk ^^ | 12:28 |
| craig_ | ah | 12:28 |
| wish^ | Ty bazhang!! :d | 12:28 |
| craig_ | soreau, possibly m8 | 12:28 |
| craig_ | i need to use nomodeset otherwise my laptop doesnt boot... | 12:28 |
| craig_ | or at least, i did? | 12:28 |
| DaPsou | craig_ > same problem for me (sort of) | 12:28 |
| wish^ | but it looks like my computer wont even start in recovery mode | 12:29 |
| incognito | bagshik if you download the super grub2 boot disk, and run it and boots, then that pretty much tell you that you can fix your problem with grub: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/category/download/supergrub2diskdownload/ | 12:29 |
| DaPsou | i need to get rid of kms drivers but for intel | 12:29 |
| soreau | craig_: Well try reinstalling xorg-edgers and the experimental mesa package then reboot and do not use modeset=0 | 12:29 |
| craig_ | hmm ok | 12:29 |
| craig_ | and ppa-purge if it fucks up? | 12:29 |
| wish^ | Ok so i removed the Nvidia x server drivers and now i cant get a gui past the ubuntu loading screen. Is there any way i can start the computer to the command line and reload some drivers? | 12:30 |
| soreau | craig_: because without modesetting, you are using the old driver which is not going to do anything for you | 12:30 |
| craig_ | ah ok | 12:30 |
| craig_ | right will try again soreau | 12:30 |
| craig_ | where did you get that huge install command for gallium | 12:30 |
| craig_ | can't find irc log :d | 12:30 |
| Taos | I have a sitecom WL-1200 wifi card on my laptop does anyone know how I can get ubuntu to use it? | 12:30 |
| soreau | craig_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental-dbg && sudo reboot | 12:31 |

| mrxtian | vh1233: what is your command line | 12:41 |
| soreau | craig_: The experimental package should have installed the gallium driver which should show up in glxinfo renderer string | 12:41 |
| craig_ | oh | 12:41 |
| craig_ | soreau, i wonder if i dont have the repository.. | 12:41 |
| soreau | craig_: You do because the -experimental package is provided by xorg-edgers | 12:42 |
| craig_ | oh ok | 12:42 |
| craig_ | so, it's provided me with the wrong version of driver? | 12:42 |

| soreau | kubanc: Instead, the 1400 would use the open radeon driver which has much better support using xrandr 1.2 which the nvidia driver still does not support | 12:53 |
| mrxtian | vh123: is the service running sshd? | 12:54 |
| craig_ | soreau, ! SGI | 12:54 |
| craig_ | as my vendor | 12:54 |
| kubanc | soreau, let's say enabling dual monitors, or enabling s-video... I know that twinview comes from nvidia, so i agree with you, that it won't work with ATI | 12:54 |
| llutz_ | vh1233: check local machine for sshd running "sudo lsof -i :22" | 12:54 |
| soreau | craig_: Show the complete output of glxinfo|grep renderer | 12:54 |
| dnivra | vh1233, or even "service ssh status" | 12:55 |
| craig_ | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS600 7942) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL DRI2 | 12:55 |
| soreau | kubanc: I use S-video and dual monitors with no problems | 12:55 |
| kubanc | UnholyTerror, right not dual monitors view is not working. It's working well in Windows XP, so connection between computer and TV is not false | 12:55 |
| soreau | craig_: Nope, still not right. It needs to report gallium | 12:55 |
| craig_ | huh | 12:55 |
| kubanc | soreau, what graphic card do you have? | 12:55 |
| craig_ | soreau, client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI | 12:55 |
| craig_ | is that not gallium :S | 12:56 |
| soreau | craig_: That is meaningless | 12:56 |
| craig_ | ah ok | 12:56 |
| llutz_ | vh1233: if your local machine is behind a router: have you set portforwarding (WAN 22 -> your local machine 22)? | 12:56 |
| craig_ | so why am i not getting gallium =[ | 12:56 |
| soreau | craig_: Make sure your experimental package shows 7.10.0+git20101215.dbb679e5-0ubuntu0sarvatt~maverick | 12:56 |
| vh1233 | llutz_: no i didnt | 12:56 |
| craig_ | huh | 12:56 |
| soreau | craig_: Make sure to apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after installing xorg-edgers | 12:56 |
| vh1233 | it says COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME | 12:56 |
| vh1233 | ssh 1899 vhs 3u IPv4 21865 0t0 TCP vhs.alex.stw.uni-erlangen.de:54155->tcdx031.chemie.uni-erlangen.de:ssh (ESTABLISHED) | 12:56 |
| soreau | kubanc: rv350 (Radeon 8600) | 12:57 |
| craig_ | soreau, what about dist-upgrade | 12:57 |
| UnholyTerror | kubanc, what about System->Monitors? you can't enable second monitor? | 12:57 |
| soreau | kubanc: rv350 (Radeon 9600)* | 12:57 |
| dnivra | vh1233, in future use pastebin-makes it easier to read. | 12:57 |
| dnivra | !pastebin | vh1233 | 12:57 |

| craig_ | soreau, both done | 12:57 |
| vh1233 | sorry | 12:58 |

| llutz_ | vh1233: no ssh (LISTEN), "sudo apt-get install openssh-server && sudo service ssh start" after you configured portforwarding | 12:58 |
| vh1233 | llutz_: how do i configure postforwarding ? | 12:58 |
| llutz_ | vh1233: check your router-config | 12:59 |
| soreau | craig_: No, just update and upgrade and make sure xorg-edgers is installed in sys>admin>update manager>settings>pther software tab | 12:59 |
| kubanc | soreau, it is working, if i wen't to system/monitors, but the only thing that i can enable is same image on LCD and TV | 12:59 |
| soreau | craig_: Yes you have radeon 1200 (the ATI name has officially been dropped in favor of Radeon) | 12:59 |
| dnivra | llutz_, what vh1233 has pasted shows he's connected to some server via ssh. right? | 12:59 |
| llutz_ | dnivra: using ssh-client yes | 12:59 |
| soreau | kubanc: Pastebin the output of xrandr | 13:00 |
| dnivra | llutz_, yes using ssh-client. thanks! | 13:00 |

| llutz_ | dnivra: sshd should show up like this: sshd 979 root 3u IPv4 8191 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) | 13:01 |
| craig_ | ahhh | 13:01 |
| craig_ | soreau, i got a huge list of updates? | 13:01 |
| soreau | craig_: Now update, upgrade and see if it installs a kernel in addition to everything | 13:01 |
| soreau | yes | 13:01 |
| craig_ | 91 updates | 13:01 |
| soreau | right | 13:01 |
| dnivra | llutz_, yes-i tried that :). thanks! it's just that i've never seen that particular output he pasted :). | 13:01 |
| craig_ | soreau, x11 and more | 13:02 |
| vh1233 | llutz_: but when im connected to a network i have to go to the admin for porforwarding ? | 13:02 |
| * craig_ hopes this works | 13:02 | |
| craig_ | :d | 13:02 |
| soreau | craig_: The entire driver stack from the kernel to userspace and mesa (opengl) | 13:02 |
| craig_ | kk | 13:02 |

| kubanc | soreau, xrandr for settings when i would like same image on monitor and LCD, or when i would like to extend my screen to TV? | 13:03 |
| llutz_ | vh1233: portforwarding is only needed if you're NATed. if your local-IP is accessible from WAN you don't need it. | 13:03 |
| soreau | kubanc: Pastebin the output of xrandr | 13:03 |
| craig_ | i cant wait to get my laptop sorted | 13:03 |

| craig_ | tyvm soreau :D | 13:14 |
| soreau | craig_: Cool, now does wow work? | 13:14 |
| Jupp | WinstonSmith, that's the samba configuration but it doesn't contain any information on what's shared after the service is started | 13:15 |
| phix | fyksen: Torrents are lame and open you up to distribution of files as well, which lowers bandwidth and could violate copyright, depending what you are downloading | 13:15 |
| soreau | craig_: I am curious because I do not play that game ;) | 13:15 |
| Jragon | Hello. | 13:15 |

| Dr_Willis | !info caps | 13:40 |
| ubottu | caps (source: caps): C* Audio Plugin Suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.2-1 (maverick), package size 679 kB, installed size 1000 kB | 13:40 |
| Jragon | Thats the one. | 13:40 |
| Jragon | It doesnt say what programme its for, | 13:41 |
| W4RH4WK | why are there 2 shares for a users home directory in samba (i get a share named "homes" and <username> to access the users home directory) | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | W4RH4WK: the 'homes' share gets rerouted to whatever username is logging in. | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | W4RH4WK: if user 'billgates' was the one trying to connect it would point to his homedir. | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Once you connect to your Home. your users own name share also appears. | 13:42 |
| XuMuK | hi there | 13:42 |

| Gilos | i'm about to re-image my ubuntu partition, is there a ubuntu based distro that is recommended for a 1366x768 laptop? (I really hate this resolution) | 13:43 |
| W4RH4WK | Dr_Willis, is there a way to deactivate one of these 2 shares.. or should i just forget about one and use the other | 13:43 |
| === k4dm3l is now known as [GLUM]k4dm3l | ||
| Dr_Willis | Gilos: most any of them should work. The netbook edition is sort of designed for 'lower res' screens with very little height. but most any desktop should work find for that res. | 13:43 |
| UnholyTerror | Gilos, netbook? | 13:43 |
| UnholyTerror | Gilos, netbook edition? | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | W4RH4WK: Its proberly not worth worrying about. | 13:43 |
| W4RH4WK | Dr_Willis, ok, thx | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | W4RH4WK: i just connect to the shares once, then bookmark them. I rarely browse for them | 13:44 |

| Jragon | I tried isntalling CAPS via the terminal and it installed but i still dont know how to open it. | 13:44 |
| Gilos | it's not a netbook, actually its a well powered core 2 duo 2.4 with 4gb... it just has crappy resolution made for watching HD (dell) | 13:44 |
| peng_ | I cann't install 10.10 by usb. Because my computer cann't into it.there is nothing in it,can anyone help me ? thank you | 13:44 |
| bencahill_ | Gilos, you mean crappy as in 768 vs 800? | 13:45 |
| Gilos | I'm thinking maybe something that takes more advantage of the widescreen and not much height | 13:45 |
| UnholyTerror | peng_, can you set BIOS to allow usb boot? | 13:45 |
| peng_ | yeah | 13:45 |
| vespertine | hi, someone with an ATI radeon xpress 200M or an ATI radeon X1200 here? | 13:45 |

| vespertine | sorry to hear that bencahill | 13:46 |
| Jragon | Dr_Willis, so do you know how to open it? | 13:47 |
| vespertine | mine is a compaq presario V5000 | 13:47 |
| WinstonSmith | vespertine, what exactly is your question? | 13:47 |
| bencahill_ | vespertine, yeah it was a V2000z, go ahead and ask your question, someone may have an answer :) | 13:47 |
| vespertine | about ati drivers | 13:47 |
| vespertine | my 3D performance is awful | 13:48 |
| vespertine | with ubuntu 9.04 was good, | 13:48 |
| WinstonSmith | vespertine, with the stock ubuntu drivers? | 13:49 |
| vespertine | but 9.10 and 10.04, 10.10 can't use even games as neverball | 13:49 |
| vespertine | using radeon drivers, can't use fglrx | 13:49 |
| WinstonSmith | vespertine, yes mine is awful too (with an x1600) but neverball runs fine | 13:49 |
| bencahill_ | Gilos, you only need 1280 (x) for 720p hd, but I guess they wanted the right aspect ratio, so it would fill up the entire screen... | 13:49 |
| llutz_ | Jragon: its just a ladspa-plugin. you need ann application for your task which uses ladspa | 13:49 |
| bencahill_ | Gilos, ...all depends on your needs and likes :) | 13:50 |
| WinstonSmith | vespertine, but its because of KMS | 13:50 |
| Jragon | Do you know of one like that then? | 13:50 |
| vespertine | desktop with a x1200 hangs ramdonmly | 13:50 |
| bencahill_ | WinstonSmith, that game is so addicting :) | 13:50 |
| WinstonSmith | bencahill_ :P | 13:50 |
| vespertine | so I had to buy a 4670, solving the problem | 13:50 |
| llutz_ | Jragon: nope, i don't even know exactly what ladspa, AMP etc is | 13:51 |
| Jragon | Shame. | 13:51 |
| Jragon | Ok then. | 13:51 |
| WinstonSmith | vespertine, try turning off KMS. i did that hat better 3D performance but ugly tearing watching movies | 13:51 |
| vespertine | i read something about incompatibility with ati drivers an news kernels | 13:51 |
| Gilos | bencahill_ yep, I didn't pay enough attention on the video, when I bought this.. can't even hook it to my tv for the native 1920x1080 (or whatever) | 13:51 |
| Jragon | I'll see if there is something else/ | 13:51 |
| peng_ | you should get your driver first before you make your 3d | 13:51 |
| vespertine | and new kernels, sorry | 13:51 |

| soreau | vespertine: 200M isnt the greatest card in the world. I wouldnt expect a whole lot from it | 14:05 |
| Dr_Willis | vespertine: good idea to state your video card/chipset when asking video related qwuestions | 14:05 |

| Dr_Willis | My x200m laptop worked :) thats about all i can say. given its like a bottom of the barrel chipset. | 14:06 |

| kermit | how do i keep my cpu at full speed? | 14:07 |
| WinstonSmith | lamik, that is probably the gnome notification area . you have to disable it | 14:07 |

| bencahill_ | tmedema, what's the graphics card? | 14:08 |
| soreau | vespertine: Try installing xorg-edgers repo and subsequently, libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental | 14:08 |
| vespertine | but 9.04 support is about to stop or even stopped yet | 14:08 |

| rigved | Jragon: yes | 14:12 |
| Jragon | How? | 14:12 |
| vespertine | and with all that coming changes in uuntu 11.04 hope will be a solution for ATI legacy cards | 14:12 |
| WinstonSmith | soreau, i mean like rearing with movies for example | 14:12 |
| WinstonSmith | *tearing | 14:12 |
| rigved | Jragon: you can connect the audio output of your machine to your mic input | 14:12 |
| vespertine | *ubuntu | 14:12 |
| Jragon | Erm? | 14:13 |
| coz_ | Jragon, what are you recording? | 14:13 |
| Jragon | I'm recording my bass via the amp, using a aux cable i am plugging it in to the microphone jack. | 14:13 |

| coz_ | Jragon, ah ok ... do you have a pair of headphones? | 14:14 |
| Jragon | I'm using speakers.# | 14:14 |
| llutz_ | Jragon: check mixer settings, adjust capture level | 14:14 |
| soreau | WinstonSmith: Gallium has to do more with 3D and opengl though I havent seen horrible tearing here | 14:14 |
| Jragon | Errr... | 14:14 |
| tmedema | bencahill_: no idea ? | 14:14 |
| WinstonSmith | soreau, ty | 14:14 |
| Jragon | How do you do that. I'm using Audacity to record | 14:14 |
| coz_ | Jragon, mm ... open a terminal type alsamixer to see if any sliders are muted or tuned down there may be an option in there for it ... i will check here | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | vespertine: thats more of an ati/X driver type developent. not really ubuntu Specific. BUt if ubuntu ever switches over to 'wayland' well.. that will be a whole nother level of chaos. :) | 14:15 |
| soreau | WinstonSmith: If nothing else, it is faster which is naturally better | 14:15 |
| llutz_ | Jragon: alsamixer | 14:15 |
| drew_ | MichealH, So I have tried installing the ATI drivers but says X server unable to connect | 14:15 |
| vespertine | Dr_Willis: lol | 14:15 |
| soreau | drew_: For what card model? | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | WinstonSmith: for video tearing, if using compiz. enable the 'sync' option theres there some where in ccsm | 14:15 |
| MichealH | drew_: Have you restarted? | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 14:15 |
| Jragon | Mic is all the way down.# | 14:15 |
| Jragon | Audacity isnt picking up anything. | 14:15 |
| vespertine | ty all | 14:15 |
| drew_ | soreau, ATI 9200 | 14:16 |
| soreau | WinstonSmith: Dr_Willis is referring to ccsm>General Options>Sync to Vblank | 14:16 |
| drew_ | MichealH, reboot? | 14:16 |
| bencahill_ | tmedema, no, unfortunately :( | 14:16 |
| WinstonSmith | Dr_Willis, i had that with the stock ubuntu driver, tried the sync option, no good :(. switched to xorg-edgers all good now. bad 3d performance though | 14:16 |
| soreau | drew_: fglrx has not supported that card for years now. You need to remove it | 14:16 |
| szayakh | What irc client would you recommend on ubuntu? | 14:17 |

| hetkat | no, its just rhe text <Ok> in the console | 14:23 |
| drew_ | soreau, removing fglrx, restoring radeon and pastbin? | 14:24 |
| soreau | drew_: It depends on how many different ways you installed it | 14:24 |
| erUSUL | hetkat: use tab to highlight the ok. press enter | 14:24 |
| hetkat | many thanks! | 14:24 |
| coz_ | hetkat, ah mm generallly I install sun java via synaptic which then has dialog with that "OK' on it | 14:24 |

| Jemt | Hi. How do I get rid of gnome-utils, without removing ubuntu-desktop ? | 14:28 |
| IdleOne | Jemt: you can safely remove the ubuntu-desktop package and reinstall it later. It is meta-package, basically a text file. | 14:30 |
| nirazio | Hello, I have the HP All-in-One scanner (+printer + copy). Every time I try to scan I only get the xsane seg fault message. The HP drivers are latest and Ubuntu is 10.10. Also scanimage fails the same way, so it sounds like a driver issue.Does anyone know a fix to this one? | 14:30 |
| coz_ | Jemt, out of curiosity....why do you want to remove them? | 14:30 |
| Jemt | Installing it would reinstall gnome-utils, IdleOne | 14:30 |
| soreau | drew_: I have to go but after you finish removing fglrx (uninstall fglrx packages and look for an uninstall script in /usr/share/ati if you used a .run file to install it) then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then something like xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --right-of VGA-0 | 14:31 |
| IdleOne | Jemt: what coz said :) | 14:31 |
| Jemt | coz_: I'm remastering Ubuntu. I'm creating an ISO with a minimum of software, and I don't want e.g. gnome-dictionary to show up in the application menu | 14:31 |
| soreau | nirazio: Mine works fine. Does dmesg show any interesting messages? | 14:31 |
| drew_ | soreau, ty for the help | 14:31 |
| coz_ | Jemt, I am wondering if you can control what shows up in the menu ahead of time by editing it with alacarte | 14:31 |
| coz_ | Jemt, although I havent tried ,,, it seems that by editing alacarte and which menu items will be in there should transfer over to the iso | 14:32 |
| Jemt | coz_: Perhaps, but removing the software I don't want is prefered :) | 14:32 |
| coz_ | Jemt, not sure then ... You may want to scoot over the #gnome on the server or the official one on gimpnet #gnome | 14:33 |
| coz_ | Jemt, are you using remastersys? | 14:33 |
| Jemt | coz_: I don't believe this is a problem related to Gnome. After all, gnome-utils depends on ubuntu-desktop which has nothing to do with Gnome :) | 14:34 |
| Jemt | coz_: Nope, doing it by hand | 14:34 |
| Jemt | coz_: Extracting ISO, chrooting, etc | 14:34 |
| nirazio | soreau: no | 14:34 |
| Jragon | I have got ardour but nothing is being recorded D= | 14:34 |
| coz_ | Jemt, mmm.... then I am at aloss to help then,, I have not done this is for quite a while | 14:34 |
| soreau | Jragon: You need to install jackd. I recommend qjackctl | 14:35 |
| rigved | Jemt: if the packages are not required then you can remove them using autoremove. or use computer janitor or deborphan. don't know if it will work here | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | Jemt: remove ubuntu-desktop as a dependency of ubuntu-desktop? don't ask me how :/ | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | you know what i meant there :) | 14:35 |
| Jemt | coz_: Okay, thanks anyways, I appreciate it :) | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | remove ubuntu-desktop as a dependency of gnome-utils | 14:35 |
| Jragon | I got the newest version. | 14:35 |
| drew_ | soreau, here's the pastbin http://paste.ubuntu.com/545283/ | 14:36 |
| soreau | Jragon: You have to start jack | 14:36 |
| Jragon | How? | 14:36 |
| Jragon | I have somehting called Jack controller. | 14:36 |
| Jemt | IdleOne: Dependencies probably can't be changed. I'm not that much into the inners of Ubuntu :) | 14:36 |
| soreau | drew_: Try xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of DVI-0 | 14:36 |
| Jemt | I've just read a few documents on remastering, and I have a handful of years experience with Debian - that's it :) | 14:37 |
| maco | Jemt: apt-get source gnome-utils, then delete ubuntu-desktop from the debian/control Dependencies: line, then `debuild` and you get a new package | 14:37 |
| soreau | Jragon: If you really want help, try their channel #ardour | 14:37 |
| IdleOne | Jemt: you could make it a recommend instead of a depend, see what maco said :) | 14:38 |
| maco | Jemt: should sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-utils first though so you get the build dependencies so debuild will work | 14:38 |
| Jemt | Interesting, thanks for the suggestion :) | 14:38 |
| coz_ | Jragon, let me type up a text file that you will most likely have to use hold on | 14:38 |
| soreau | um.. a small crowd from ~guest@174.36.234.43-static.reverse.softlayer.com ? | 14:39 |
| coz_ | Jragon, download this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/SOUND%20ADD%20USER/set%20memory%20to%20unlimited and I have typed in the directions with it | 14:40 |
| wish^ | Ok so i removed the Nvidia x server drivers and now i cant get a gui past the ubuntu loading screen. Any ideas what i can do to fix this issue? Ive tried to start the computer in recovery mode with no luck.. Any help is greatly appreciated | 14:40 |
| soreau | wish^: What happens when you try recovery mode? | 14:40 |
| soyouarm | anybody can help me,I had scim chinese input in my ubuntu,tonight i uninstall it ,and install the fcitx,but now i can make it out with contrl_space ,neither ibus | 14:40 |
| wish^ | starts loading and goes to black screen with nothing | 14:41 |
| soyouarm | can not | 14:41 |
| soreau | wish^: I guess you will have to boot a live cd and chroot in to fix it | 14:41 |
| wish^ | i dont have a livecd | 14:42 |
| soreau | Well then you are screwed | 14:42 |
| soreau | get Radeon next time | 14:42 |
| Jemt | maco: Although.. I don't feel quite comfortable changing dependencies. Don't you think the dependency is there for a reason? I could easily break something | 14:42 |
| rigved | wish^: can you get into the terminal login? | 14:42 |
| maco | Jemt: yes it is probably there for a reason | 14:42 |
| UnholyTerror | wish^, why did you remove them? | 14:42 |
| Jemt | Could be to make installation easier. Who knows :) | 14:43 |
| maco | Jemt: though im pretty sure its a new dependency... i used to be able to install gnome-utils on kubuntu without getting all of ubuntu | 14:43 |
| wish^ | I removed them because i needed to do a fresh install of the drivers because of some issues with screen resolution and panning.. | 14:43 |
| kinctan_ | hi | 14:43 |
| Jemt | maco: Good, it's worth a shot :) | 14:43 |
| maco | Jemt: look at the debian/changelog and see who added it as a dependency? maybe they gave a reason? | 14:43 |
| Jragon | coz_ I have done that now, should it be finished and work? | 14:43 |
| kinctan_ | which channel about android? | 14:43 |
| kinctan_ | which channel about android? | 14:44 |
| wish^ | Basically when i start the computer now, it starts up like normal and gives me the standard purple ubuntu loading screen then it just goes black. I hold shift and choose recovery mode and it starts doing its normal recovery loading sequence and then it just stops | 14:44 |
| maco | kinctan_: /msg alis help | 14:44 |
| Jemt | maco: Good idea. Thank you :) | 14:44 |
| coz_ | Jragon, it should be set .. you could restart x just to be sure | 14:44 |
| UnholyTerror | wish^, can you get to a terminal, like ctrl f2 or alt ctrl f2? | 14:45 |
| stevr1it | hello, i am using ubuntu 10.10 and i don't have acroread in my repository, how can i add it? | 14:45 |
| craiova | how can I set windows to default setting in grub, ubuntu 10.10? | 14:45 |
| jchase520 | i know you can set windows as defualt by the msconfig menu in windows | 14:46 |
| Jeruvy | craiova: edit your grub and make Windows your default boot | 14:46 |
| Jeruvy | !grub | craiova | 14:46 |
| ubottu | craiova: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 14:46 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: ctrl+alt+f2 gives me a white line in the top left as if its loading a terminal then goes black | 14:47 |
| tavish | hi, i need to set up a bash script to run with a keyboard shortcut, and the bash script uses wmctrl to resize windows. but the shortcut doesnt work. what should be the command in the keyboard shortcut? | 14:47 |
| Jragon | Coz_ still nothing. | 14:47 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: its as if x no longer has a config file to read and cannot display any picture | 14:47 |
| UnholyTerror | wish^, try f3 | 14:48 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: I can tell by looking at the resolution of the ubuntu logo on the loading screen that its been reverted to a 800x600 | 14:48 |
| crimsun | Jemt: is this for Maverick? gnome-utils certainly doesn't depend on ubuntu-desktop. Did you mean another package? | 14:48 |
| UnholyTerror | ok, try ctrl alt f3 | 14:48 |
| UnholyTerror | f4 f5 f6... | 14:48 |
| Jemt | maco: Odd, 'apt-cache showpkg gnome-utils' does not reveal any dependencies to ubuntu-desktop. Ubuntu-desktop depends on gnome-utils, but a reverse dependency (ubuntu-desktop > gnome-utlis) should not force me to remove ubuntu-desktop | 14:49 |
| Jragon | Coz_ Any idea whats wrong with it? | 14:49 |
| coz_ | Jragon, mmm I would scoot over to the #ardour channel and speak with them... its likely a setting that is being ignored | 14:49 |
| crimsun | hink you misunderstand the dependency relationship? | 14:50 |
| Jragon | Ok. | 14:50 |
| Jragon | What irc is it on? | 14:50 |
| crimsun | Jemt: I think you misunderstand the dependency relationship? | 14:50 |
| coz_ | Jragon, it is on freenode so where you type here just type /join #ardour | 14:50 |
| vipul | i have changed my account password through root user with this command "passwd" but when i relogin with new password to a root user i can't able to login | 14:51 |
| Jemt | crimsun: Possibly. But what am I missing? ubuntu-desktop depends on gnome-utils, not the other way around. | 14:51 |
| Jragon | Thanks | 14:51 |
| vipul | i have changed my account password through root user with this command "passwd" but when i relogin with new password to a root user i can't able to login but when i try the old password then i able to use root acess PLz help me | 14:51 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: none of those works.. When im in the grub menu though, it displays 4 things i can load, 2.6.32-35-generic + same in safe mode and also 2.6.31-17-generic + safe mode | 14:52 |
| coz_ | vipul, did you use sudo passwd | 14:52 |
| vipul | no | 14:52 |
| coz_ | vipul, then that is the issue...did you try the old password? | 14:52 |
| vipul | coz_, i just went insde root and use this command passwd<------- | 14:52 |
| Jemt | All the same, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package, so I could easily remove it without the lose of packages. But the description says: "It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed." | 14:52 |
| Jemt | So I'm afraid I might break the upgrade mechanism | 14:53 |
| gavin_ | Hi Folks. So I have a windows key on my laptop. I must admit I find the windows key handy. How can I customise ubuntu so that when I press the windows key it "pulls down" the menu at top left for application/ places / system? | 14:53 |
| vipul | yes with old password i can able to acess again my root | 14:53 |
| vipul | but new password is not working | 14:53 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: if i choose either of the newest installs, recovery mode or not.. its like the screen just turns itself of | 14:53 |
| Random832 | Jemt: that's just so if they add packages you get them | 14:53 |
| bezao | i have ubuntu-server 9.10 running how can i upgrade to 10.10 ? | 14:53 |
| Random832 | gavin_: why not just hit alt-f1? | 14:53 |
| coz_ | vipul, ok so open a terminal in your user account and type sudo passwd if you want a new user password,, if you are trying to use root as a login option that is a different matter | 14:53 |
| Jemt | Random832: Oh, I see! Then it's probably not a problem if I remove it | 14:54 |
| Jemt | Random832: Believe me, I really appreciate that information :) | 14:54 |

| gavin_ | Random832 : did not know that command so I have learnt something today.. Now for efficiency how can I get to that with 1 press with the "windows key"? | 14:54 |
| Jeruvy | bezao: you first upgrade to 10.04, then upgrade to 10.10 | 14:54 |
| guest1 | downloads, music, video ect not opening from places help me | 14:54 |
| bezao | Jeruvy okay, how? | 14:54 |
| Random832 | gavin_: the problem is the way the keyboard model for linux works, you'd then lose all the win+letter shortcuts | 14:55 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: ok when i chose the older version of ubuntu i managed to get a terminal | 14:55 |
| Jeruvy | bezao: Start update manager and choose upgrade. | 14:55 |
| vipul | coz_, what about my ssh daemon (ssh-daemon is insralled on my ubuntu) will it also change if i change my account password ? | 14:55 |
| bezao | Jeruvy i'm using ubuntu-server, i have to type everything :D | 14:55 |
| bezao | Jeruvy apt-get upgrade? | 14:56 |

| kcorcoran | okay, i come from a windows background..currently running v10.10 64 and having a video card (ati) issue... if i have an issue like this (in windows) i would go to the vendor site, locate a current driver and install. in ubuntu it automatically downloaded a driver - this driver i assume does NOT come from the vendor site, but rather a ubuntu repository of tested/approved drivers? is that a correct assumption? | 15:29 |
| hujula | after upgraded to10.10 the battery meter cannot display percentage and always says it's estrmating, how to fix? | 15:29 |

| bullgard4 | llutz_ Thank you very much for your help. | 15:29 |
| moszer | gtg, later then, bye | 15:29 |
| kcorcoran | yeats: so, given the downloaded driver is not performing properly i went to ati and found they have a newer version driver. what is the correct process to load the new version? do i need to uninstall (how) the old version? the new version is a .run file - i am not familiar with | 15:30 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: that seems to work, i do get a warning now though.. something about x server does not support that screen size | 15:31 |
| wish^ | but it is working as it should so thanks alot | 15:31 |
| yeats | kcorcoran: what is the issue you're having with the Ubuntu-supplied driver? | 15:31 |
| UnholyTerror | wish^, ok, does it say what screen size? | 15:32 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: nah but i think i fixed it by changing the resolution to 1366x768 instead of auto | 15:32 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: it seems to work now not giving me black screens anymore | 15:32 |
| kcorcoran | when running dual monitors the taskbar is not properly displayed. usually on thetaskbar it displays date/time, user name, and the restart button....mine shows most of the user name and truncates the last few latters and no restart button? any ideas? | 15:32 |

| UnholyTerror | wish^, ok, that is the key sequence to restart X... it is set in System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layout->Options | 15:34 |
| yeats | kcorcoran: have you tried removing the panel items and re-adding them? That doesn't sound like a video card issue to me... | 15:34 |
| kcorcoran | yeats: not sure i understand? | 15:34 |
| yeats | kcorcoran: are both monitors displaying graphics correctly? | 15:34 |
| bonjoyee | i have also disabled the auto library update feature.. | 15:34 |
| UnholyTerror | wish^, if checked then it will work... it dumps you back to the login screen (as long as X is working) | 15:35 |

| wish^ | yup that command works now UnholyTerror | 15:35 |
| kcorcoran | yeats: well so far, but i haven't doen anything else | 15:35 |
| FishFace | sfjkg: Maybe try to try a lower resolution when you boot that. I looked around at your pastebin and it seems you have some kind of graphics problem. | 15:36 |

| kcorcoran | yeats: i thought i was removing an item from the panel, the entire panel is gone now? | 15:37 |
| yeats | kcorcoran: oops! well - if the bottom panel is there, you should be able to click on it and create a new panel | 15:38 |
| wish^ | UnholyTerror: kk | 15:38 |
| rigved | durando: what kind of a error are you getting? | 15:39 |
| durando | it wont let me into my ubuntu login even after a reinstall due to not having permission to write a certain file | 15:39 |
| UnholyTerror | wish^, then back to: sudo nvidia-settings - but make sure you aren't using a virtual res in there as well. You have to save to xorg.conf (bottom right) | 15:39 |
| yeats | isn't there a command that automatically replaces the default GNOME panel if you accidentally delete? | 15:40 |
| yeats | (asking the channel at large ;-) ) | 15:40 |

| eman2 | erUSUL: is that similar to the /etc/rc.d/ that used to be in previous versions of ubuntu? | 16:17 |
| Bondv6 | eman2, create a upstarte-service for it in /etc/init/ | 16:17 |
| pksadiq | hugh_: what does wine something.exe gives you? | 16:17 |
| Bondv6 | eman2, if you just want to add the symlinks, you can use the update-rc.d program | 16:17 |

| hugh_ | so, opening it from nautilus gave a warning about it not being marked as executable and changing the permission gave a warning about it being read only, so if wine can bypass the executable bit if you open it via the command line then what is the point of the executable bit? | 16:23 |
| sacarlson | psycho: you don't need the users password you need the sudo password | 16:23 |

| barfster | For Safari on Mac there is YouTube5 plug-in to force HTML5 w/x264, is there a similar plug-in for FF on Linux? | 16:26 |
| sacarlson | psycho: try just sudo -i, that should prove you have sudo for your account | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | linos: you'd know if you were.. there'd be a little "stop sign"... in the upper right | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | linos: its an extension | 16:26 |
| linos | KM0201, then I am not running adblock | 16:26 |
| sacarlson | psycho: sudo -i will put you at the # root | 16:26 |

| bryan0685 | Is it fair for me to ask if anyone knows how to get my microphone to work on skype and direct uploads on youtube? | 16:26 |
| Bondv6 | barfster, there is a plugin that does it for Chrome | 16:27 |
| sacarlson | psycho: so if you can sudo -i; su user | 16:27 |
| KM0201 | linos: adblock is fine if you want it... but i was more curious if it was causing your problem(it likely isn't)... | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | vipul: if you can still use the old password to login then something went wrong and the password has not changed | 16:27 |
| psycho | its asking for this users password,which i dont know and this user account is not an admin | 16:27 |
| psycho | i am the admin | 16:27 |
| sacarlson | psycho: sudo -i, asks for the users password? | 16:28 |

| paandu | Hi all i am currently using Ubuntu 10.10 , and i am facing this problem since today , whenever i go to places->home folder and try to open it , its opening with media player by default ! this is same with documents , downloads , and other folders under places tab ! Please help me i am newbie and its not in any forum and google too !! | 16:29 |
| sacarlson | psycho: you must be an admin user to use sudo, I asume you don't have sudo priv | 16:29 |
| vipul | then type a new password | 16:30 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, the best way is using upstart, by creating a config for it in /etc/init/ | 16:30 |
| psycho | sacarlson I am the admin,i installed ubuntu! | 16:30 |
| sacarlson | psycho: so why can't you enter root mode with sudo -i ? | 16:30 |
| vipul | but when i try sign off and again try to root user the old password was working not new | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | vipul: that soes not change *your* password it sets root's password .... | 16:30 |
| vipul | then i used sudo passwd | 16:30 |
| rpenn | anyone mind answering a quick question about creating a ubuntu livecd on a usb stick? | 16:30 |
| shane4ubuntu | Bondv6: it is just to start up dund on boot, can I dump a script there in /etc/init/ ? | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | does* | 16:30 |
| vipul | and again i changed a new password | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | vipul: you just use « passwd » in a terminal with no sudo | 16:31 |
| vipul | and again i changed a old password* | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | vipul: you did it wrong | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | !rootpass | 16:31 |
| psycho | sacarlson i dont understand it man,im the one who installed ubuntu | 16:31 |
| KM0201 | sudo passwd strikes again..lol | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | !rootpassword | 16:31 |
| ubottu | 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 | 16:31 |
| sacarlson | psycho: can't you get the # prompt? | 16:31 |
| psycho | sacarlson ? | 16:32 |
| herghost | !cli | 16:32 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, no, you have to make a service configuration for it there. you'll need just a few lines of text in it | 16:32 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 16:32 |
| vipul | ok | 16:32 |
| vipul | let me check again | 16:32 |
| === leon is now known as Guest60586 | ||
| paandu | is it a problem with totem ? | 16:32 |
| sacarlson | psycho: just because you installed it doesn't mean that you are loged into a sudo account | 16:32 |
| psycho | sacarlson i am the admin | 16:32 |
| DangerCode | fuck you | 16:32 |
| psycho | sacarlson do i have to set the sudo pass or something? | 16:32 |
| shane4ubuntu | Bondv6: ok, that looks a little complex, I was looking at a few of the conf files to get an idea, here is the one liner I want run upon boot: sudo /usr/bin/dund --listen --persist --msdun call dun --nodetach | 16:33 |
| DangerCode | 我打错了 | 16:33 |
| maco | DangerCode: watch your language and be nice | 16:33 |
| shane4ubuntu | Bondv6: without the sudo of course. | 16:33 |
| maco | DangerCode: and use english, not chinese | 16:33 |
| vipul | yes got it now thank erUSUL | 16:33 |
| shane4ubuntu | !cn | DangerCode | 16:33 |
| ubottu | DangerCode: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | paandu: thats extremely unusual.... | 16:33 |
| sacarlson | psycho: no I think the password is the same as the user that uses it but that user must be in the /etc/sudoers list | 16:33 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, it is actually very easy. You pass the command to the line that starts with "exec", and besides that, you tell it when you want it to start and stop | 16:33 |

| KM0201 | paandu: do this... go to places, select your home folder, and drag/drop it to your desktop | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | paandu: when it creates the link on your desktop... right click the link, properties, and on the "basic"tab, what does it say for "Link Target" | 16:35 |
| intick | erUSUL: if i start my command in a terminal it works perfectly | 16:35 |

| erUSUL | intick: should work the same either way ... | 16:35 |
| shane4ubuntu | Bondv6: ahh, ok, I see, start on filesystem stop on runlevel [!2345] is the ssh conf file ending with exec /usr/sbin/sshd I see, the rest is special filler and checks. | 16:35 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, make sure you look in /etc/init not /etc/init.d | 16:35 |
| psycho | sacarlson synaptic? | 16:35 |
| shane4ubuntu | Bondv6: right, I'm with you there. | 16:35 |
| sacarlson | psycho: how do you install software? | 16:35 |
| paandu | KM0201: I have problem with totem: it opened Places menu (Documents, Music, Videos ...)... i just cant click or else it will open in media player | 16:35 |
| intick | erUSUL: i dont have to add anything befor my command line in the sh file ? | 16:35 |
| psycho | with my account password | 16:35 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, yeah, that looks good. and then just stick your "exec yourcommand" line in there, and it will start on boot, and you can administrate it with "service" command | 16:36 |
| sacarlson | psycho: are you loged into that account? | 16:36 |
| psycho | but my account password,which is the admin account isnt working with sudo | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | intick: no the file shoulb be two lines 1) #!/bin/sh 2) your command here .-.... | 16:36 |
| psycho | no | 16:36 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, "service yourservie status" etc | 16:36 |
| rpenn | If I create a bootable ubuntu livecd on an 8GB USB stick, can I still use the leftover ~6GB for storing data? Or would it be wiser to go with a 2GB stick if the remaining 6GB would always be unusable? | 16:36 |
| psycho | i told you i am trying to get steam running on this users account | 16:36 |

| B45h_V| | I fell asleep hours ago lol | 16:37 |
| paandu | abhiSri: No | 16:37 |
| psycho | it will run on the admin account, but not the other users account | 16:37 |

| KM0201 | paandu: can you click on the system and applications menu? | 16:37 |
| paandu | abhiSri: yes i dont know what to change in there | 16:37 |

| shane4ubuntu | Bondv6: they are good changes, I just haven't kept up, hmm, Networking.conf is a very simple example to follow. | 16:38 |
| erUSUL | kcorcoran: -C with capital C i meant | 16:38 |
| sacarlson | prycho correct, as I tried to tell you before only a sudo user can do sudo , that mean you must be loged in as a sudo user not this new none sudo user | 16:38 |
| KM0201 | paandu: ok, i thought you said when you clcik the places menu, it opens totem | 16:38 |
| Bondv6 | shane4ubuntu, yeah :) it's improving all the time, hard to follow some times :) | 16:38 |
| pksadiq | AbhiJit: hi, I didn't know that there had been a word/world war between Emacs and VI, and still continueing | 16:38 |

| pksadiq | paandu: create a folder in desktop, right click it , select "Open with other application"> and select "open folder", check the box remember | 16:41 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: maybe I don't understand what you want, you wanted to run a program as a different user so no just su user | 16:41 |

| pikachu | anyone here a ppp expert? Got this strange issue with my wcdma connection when masquerading with iptables I get an lcp ConfRreq frame from the provider that causes the ppp-down script to be called. If i go through squid or the machine with the ppp connections there is no problem | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | garri: what kind of wireless device is in that machine? | 16:44 |
| dh003i | hi all, I have a problem...I tried installing windows xp on /dev/sda1 and it seems like I lost my Linux partitions (/dev/sda2 = /boot, /dev/sda3 = /, /dev/sda5 = /tmp, /dev/sda6 = /var, /dev/sda7 = /home) ... how can I get them back? Gparted says that my entire HD is now one "unallocated" partition/file system and gives me a warning about "overlapping partitions" | 16:44 |

| pksadiq | AbhiJit: search for Emacs vs vi in google | 16:44 |
| pikachu | the ppp connection can be up for hours without incident until a forwarded packet is sent through it | 16:44 |
| paandu | pksadiq: Thanks a lot bro it worked :) | 16:45 |
| KM0201 | garri: thats not a wireless device, thats a network manager... why did you uninstall the default network manager? | 16:45 |
| AbhiJit | pksadiq, why? | 16:45 |
| garri | i dont know then | 16:45 |
| garri | where can i see that | 16:45 |

| erUSUL | intick: do « sudo script.sh » | 16:46 |

| KM0201 | txdv: it really doesn't matter, they show the same thing | 16:47 |
| pksadiq | abhiSri: paandu's problem was just because the folder was actually configured to be opend with totem, | 16:47 |
| paandu | abhiSri: Actuall i made movie player my default by mistake as the remember check mark comes in default , and i forgot it after clicking so everything was opening with media player | 16:47 |

| KM0201 | dh003i: why on earth did you create that many partitions was my first thought... but i didn't figure that was useful. | 16:48 |
| abhiSri | pksadiq, paandu ok but in that default file its was for nautilus.For what that file is? | 16:48 |

| sacarlson | dh003i: you should install windows first then install linux or ubuntu in this case | 16:50 |

| dh003i | oh jesus, for some reason, cfdisk is saying the partitions are ext3 ?? they were all ext4 | 16:54 |
| sam16 | dnivra: yes unwanted files | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: oh there not gone there still there, why did you say there were set to unused? so you just need to reinstall grub2 then | 16:54 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: try sudo fsck , unmount all drives before proceeding | 16:55 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: install the mbr | 16:55 |
| dh003i | pksadiq: sudo fsck on /dev/sda ? | 16:55 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: hope so | 16:56 |
| bezao | erUSUL it's a vbox shared folder how do i give permission ? | 16:56 |
| dnivra | sam16, apt-get clean removes packages cached. you could also try "computer-janitor-gtk" for more. | 16:56 |
| sacarlson | pksadiq: I asume he's now running live cd boot dh003i? | 16:56 |
| dh003i | pksadiq: err, sudo fsck /dev/sda says "fsck.ext2: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?" | 16:56 |
| Juzzy | Anyone know of a program/script that can automatically/programmatically rip dvd/br to divx/xvid/mkv? | 16:56 |
| dh003i | yea, I'm on LiveCD | 16:57 |

| sacarlson | dh003i: so I think you can try sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 16:58 |
| dh003i | what's the command to show mounted partitions? | 16:58 |
| Diverdude | How do i enable more screensavers in ubuntu 10.10 than the default ones? | 16:58 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: you cannot see your drive in gparted because there is a problem with the partition table | 16:58 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: df | 16:58 |
| whateverDever | hi | 16:59 |
| dh003i | ok, so none of the /dev/sda#'s are mounted, why does fsck /dev/sda say there's a mounted partition? | 16:59 |
| whateverDever | can anyone recommend a good bandwidth speed cli tool | 16:59 |
| sacarlson | pksadiq: but is shows in fdisk -l, so I don't know what the problem is with gparted dh003i | 16:59 |
| Guest31059 | Hi there | 16:59 |
| whateverDever | wanna test speed of my vps | 16:59 |
| Guest31059 | Could pls anybody tell me, how to move files to /var/www in Ubuntu Desktop, when logged in as normal user?! | 16:59 |

| FishFace | whateverDever: I keep Netspeed on my toolbar. | 17:00 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: try sudo umount /media/* | 17:00 |
| dh003i | another strange thing is that the partition I was trying to intall winxp on seems to have disappeared? | 17:00 |
| chaospsychex | sacarlson it wont let me create a shortcut on the users desktop from the admin account | 17:01 |
| Guest31059 | I added my desktop user to group root and configured it to a administration account, why can't I still move files to /var/www ??? | 17:01 |
| dh003i | pksadiq: it says /media/* not found | 17:01 |
| Juzzy | Anyone know of a program/script that can automatically/programmatically rip dvd/br to divx/xvid/mkv? | 17:01 |
| abhiSri | Diverdude, http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html , check this out. | 17:01 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: oh I think for fsck you need to give it the partition to test like fsck /dev/sda1 | 17:01 |
| chaospsychex | how do i put a shortcut to an .exe onto a users desktop from the admin account | 17:01 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: windows has an MBR style that kills the partition table that is created with linux | 17:02 |
| dh003i | ahhh | 17:02 |
| Gajzha | hello everyone! I have a problem and I hope you can help me here. I did something a bit stupid so please don't laugh haha Here is the problem: my system frozen while updating Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the Ubunt updater and couldn't restart Ubuntu at all (I have dual boot with XP SP3). So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP... | 17:02 |
| Gajzha | ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD? | 17:02 |

| jeffreyf | Guest31059: is that UserID still logged in? | 17:02 |
| arpit | what should i do? | 17:02 |
| dh003i | oh wait, it still shows the Windows partition in cfdisk...it shows at the beginning as "Unusable 16384.76" | 17:02 |
| dnivra | Guest31059, i think you need to become root for that. prefix "sudo" maybe. | 17:02 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: I'm not sure seems it requires to steps to run another a program in another users account from a suders account, so a shortcut just won't work I guess | 17:03 |
| Guest31059 | wanna perform the move via the GUI, so 'sudo' is useless | 17:03 |
| pksadiq | dh003i: try sudo e2fsck -yf /dev/sdax | 17:03 |

| chaospsychex | do i have to give the user admin priv just to run steam? | 17:04 |
| Gajzha | <coz_>: I installed windows first | 17:04 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: oh and you may not be able to fsck a windows disk I'm not sure so fsck /dev/sda2 might work | 17:04 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: but all you need to do is install the mbr as I stated before | 17:04 |
| chaospsychex | why did wine install it into the home folder of the installing user any way | 17:04 |
| jeffreyf | Guest31059: from ALT-F2 or command...gksudo nautilus...you will be in the file manager as a sudoer....use extreme caution as you can do ANYTHING including accidentally delete stuff | 17:04 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: ok, i'll give that a try | 17:04 |
| abhiSri | Guest19189, yes dnivra is right .Just after moving all files you have to change the owner of them to your normal user. | 17:04 |
| chaospsychex | it should of installed it so all users could run it | 17:04 |
| chaospsychex | god damn | 17:04 |
| LunaVorax_ | Hello ! What are the different parameters I can put in the grub about the acpi (like acpi=off) to see how they work on my system. | 17:05 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: ya maybe you can setup wine so many user can use it? I don't use wine | 17:05 |
| elijah | I just installed wine with package manager, it is version 1.2.1, is this the most current? | 17:05 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: that's the way wine works - it is per-user | 17:05 |
| dnivra | LunaVorax_, here's grub2 documentation. check it out; might be what you're looking for. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2. | 17:05 |
| chaospsychex | yeats i installed steam via playonlinux | 17:06 |
| Gajzha | <coz_>, I installed windows first | 17:06 |

| chaospsychex | yeats when i went into the users account and opened playonlinux,steam didnt appear on the install list..???? | 17:06 |
| sacarlson | yeats: so what does he need to do just copy the exe file to each users home account so they can run it? | 17:06 |
| dnivra | LunaVorax_, well you can't really call it documentation. it's got a lot on grub2 anyway :). | 17:06 |
| chaospsychex | sacarlson it won't let me copy the exe | 17:07 |
| elijah | It says wine 1.2 is out but how do I get that through package manager? | 17:07 |
| LunaVorax_ | thanks dnivra but it seems to be what I'm looking for :( | 17:07 |
| coz_ | Gajzha, mm and then you installed ubuntu again? | 17:07 |
| chaospsychex | i did sudo -i and it still wont let me | 17:07 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: well you can sudo cp thefile | 17:07 |

| sacarlson | chaospsychex: sudo user can copy a file to any place and change the owner and group of any file | 17:08 |
| neohunter111 | I have a problem with my mouse, is a microsoft wireless mouse, when i press button6 or buttton 7 ubuntu recives a lot of press and realease events!! | 17:08 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: I'm clueless how wine works with each user | 17:08 |
| Gajzha | <coz_>, I installed windows first, installed Ubuntu 10.04 after that. | 17:08 |
| sprung | Hi. I need Exchange appointment reminders and meeting invitations. | 17:08 |
| elijah | There are too many packages in the repo, which Wine do I download? | 17:08 |
| sprung | Most importantly meeting invitations. | 17:09 |
| chaospsychex | sacarlson i use the "sudo -i" command to go su right? | 17:09 |
| sprung | Any ideas? | 17:09 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: that's one way of doing it | 17:09 |
| Whitie_ | lol wow | 17:09 |
| chaospsychex | sacarlson i did that,still couldn't copy the file | 17:09 |
| chaospsychex | i tell you what guys,linux is like goddamn fort knox | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: what error do you see now with the # prompt? | 17:10 |
| sprung | I am using Evolution mail client, got the global address book working via LDAP and am using IMAP as my connector, but i need the Exchange appointment reminders and meeting invitations working. this is business critical please help me out | 17:10 |
| chaospsychex | spend all day trying to let a user run a program from their account | 17:10 |
| Gajzha | <coz_>,then formatted the Ubuntu partition with XP partition tool (and I think a smaller one, is it the swap?) and now im stuck with the error message | 17:10 |
| chaospsychex | sacarlson i have to copy the file in the terminal? | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: ya that's why it has no virus | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: if the terminal is where you are sudo | 17:11 |
| chaospsychex | sacarlson do i have to copy the file using terminal commands? | 17:11 |
| sprung | If i don't get the Exchange meeting invitations I quite literally can't leave Windows | 17:11 |
| sprung | i need the meeting invitations. everything else is all figured out | 17:11 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: why didn't you install the program as the user who will be running it? just curious | 17:11 |
| coz_ | Gajzha, welll not necessary to format the drive ,,,when in insert and boot from the live cd or minmal install cd it will walk you through the partiioning and actuallly default partitioning works well enough | 17:11 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: I don't even know if you need to copy the file at all, I don't know how wine works | 17:11 |
| neohunter111 | i have a problem with my mouse, when i press the button6 and button7 one time, ubuntu receives a lot of press event, any ideas? | 17:11 |
| lukus | hi - i have a situation where I'd like to be able to create a lot of symbolic links to commonly used directories, and the be able to use them by cd <symboliclinkname> ... I thought i'd be able to add the directory with the links into my path, but this doesn't seem to work .. does anyone know how this might be possible? | 17:12 |
| chaospsychex | yeats because the program doesn't even show up as an available install in the users account | 17:12 |
| chaospsychex | yeats are you familiar with playonlinux? | 17:12 |
| elijah | There is wine-1.2-dbg, 1.2-dev and 1.2-gecko (web browser) what does the web browser mean ? The initial package I downloaded was the wine microsoft compatibility layer, which downloaded 1.2-gecko also (I think) and that is version 1.2.1 and not the current 1.2.2, the reason I am asking all this is because I just installed Picase 3.8 and none of the folder names show. I went to file a compatibility report and it doesn't have my version | 17:12 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: nope ;-) | 17:12 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | hi all, I'm dh003i | 17:13 |

| DavidJHeinrich1 | I recovered my MBR, as suggested...now I'm in my Linux OS from my HD | 17:13 |
| chaospsychex | Joe Blow can't do **** in linux,lololol | 17:13 |
| Gajzha | <coz_>, thing is when I use the install menu from Live CD my XP partition doesn't show at all, it's like the installer thinks my whole drive is empty | 17:14 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: so it's basically a GUI program that acts as a front-end to wine | 17:14 |
| coz_ | Gajzha, mmm that's odd | 17:14 |
| chaospsychex | yeats yeah and there is a list of available programs you can install | 17:14 |
| coz_ | Gajzha, I may not be able to help I have to break here ...I know there are many here with better skills :) | 17:14 |
| chaospsychex | yeats: when i log into the user account below admin, the list is different and steam isn't even on that list | 17:15 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | arg, gparted is still saying my entire HD is unallocated | 17:15 |

| sacarlson | DavidJHeinrich1: cool so just the grub-install /dev/sda worked? | 17:17 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: two thoughts... 1) this might be more of an issue for #winehq rather than #ubuntu 2) have you tried just installing directly from steam's site rather than going through playonlinux? | 17:17 |
| pksadiq | ccd: press ALT + CTRL + T | 17:17 |
| bencahill | pksadiq: thx for that :) | 17:18 |
| chaospsychex | yeats: #winehq is idle , let me check on installing from the steam site | 17:18 |
| ccd | pksadiq: thanks!! | 17:18 |
| kcorcoran_ | i am running "make -j 3" no a flightgear v2.0...its working, however its taking some time...i assume this has to do with my CPU speeds...but would think it would compile faster. shouldn't a dual core system blow throw this? | 17:18 |
| pksadiq | bencahill: for what? | 17:18 |
| bencahill | pksadiq: always good to know new keyboard shortcuts :) | 17:18 |
| pksadiq | DavidJHeinrich1: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ what about this? | 17:18 |
| chaospsychex | yeats: it's only available for mac & pc | 17:19 |
| yeats | kcorcoran_: compiling can take a *lot* of processor time - esp. if you're doing other things | 17:19 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: right - that's what wine is for - try installing the PC version | 17:19 |
| sacarlson | pksadiq: I'm not getting it if DavidJHeinrich1 is now booted what is his problem? | 17:19 |
| kcorcoran_ | yeats: that makes sense, but even with a dual core system? | 17:19 |
| yeats | kcorcoran_: depends on what it is ;-) | 17:20 |
| bencahill | kcorcoran: what processor? | 17:20 |
| chaospsychex | yeats: how do i go about doing that? | 17:20 |
| sacarlson | pksadiq: maybe he has two problems? | 17:20 |
| wrd | kcorcoran_: yes compiling takes time ;) it also depends on the build system how much paralellism it allows | 17:20 |
| anadon | sorry to interrupt, but what channel is for beginner's development? | 17:20 |
| pksadiq | bencahill: Preferences > KeyBoard Shortcuts might help you much | 17:20 |
| pksadiq | sacarlson: two? | 17:20 |
| bencahill | pksadiq: thanks :) | 17:20 |
| Gajzha | <coz_>, no worries, thanks for your time! | 17:20 |
| kcorcoran_ | bencahill: intel Core 2 duo 3.0GHz | 17:20 |
| bencahill | kcorcoran: no, the model# | 17:21 |
| sacarlson | pksadiq: seems after the mbr install he can not boot from his hard disk | 17:21 |
| yeats | chaospsychex: more or less the same way you would on Windows - download the file and install it | 17:21 |
| anadon | any one know? | 17:21 |
| kcorcoran_ | bencahill: sorry, not sure how i would be able to to determine that? can you tell me? | 17:21 |
| bencahill | kcorcoran: e8400 | 17:21 |
| bencahill | kcorcoran: possibly? | 17:21 |
| chaospsychex | yeat: ok now what directory do i choose,so others can run it? | 17:21 |
| wabash | What number do user ids start at? | 17:21 |
| kcorcoran_ | yes!! | 17:22 |
| sacarlson | pksadiq: if it works at all almost everything would have to work | 17:22 |
| kcorcoran_ | i just saw that on the screen | 17:22 |
| pksadiq | sacarlson: MBR is meant for windows only, if he has partitioned from windows, else ie's a burden | 17:22 |

| ccd | what's the analog for "service sshd start" in ubuntu? | 17:23 |
| wrd | ccd: start ssh-server i think ... | 17:23 |
| ccd | wrd: I am giving instructions over the phone... so it would be "sudo start ssh-server" ? | 17:24 |
| kcorcoran_ | bencahill; took about 5 minutes..is that an acceptable speed for the code that i was compiling? | 17:24 |
| dnivra | ccd, nope it's "sudo service sshd start". that's right. | 17:24 |

| ccd | dnivra: hm... is sshd not installed by default on the netbook edition? | 17:24 |
| pksadiq | neohunter111: does system > preferences > mouse has any option? | 17:24 |
| yeats | ccd: no - you have to install openssh-server | 17:25 |
| ccd | cool | 17:25 |
| itaylor57 | bencahill: how do you list the cpu? | 17:25 |
| sacarlson | ccd: sshd isn't installed by default on any edition only the client is installed as default | 17:25 |
| dnivra | ccd, sshd is part of openssh-server; that's is not there by default on any ubuntu edition | 17:25 |

| Gajzha | hello everyone! I have a problem and I hope you can help me here. I did something a bit stupid so please don't laugh haha Here is the problem: my system frozen while updating Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the Ubunt updater and couldn't restart Ubuntu at all (I have dual boot with XP SP3). So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP... | 17:27 |
| Gajzha | ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD? | 17:27 |

| sacarlson | chaospsychex: you can create a folder anyplace you want that is writable but I guess normaly for users you might want to keep it someplace in /home | 17:28 |
| pksadiq | Gajzha: from xp cd select the repair mode , and you boot into dos, then type FIXBOOT | 17:29 |
| itaylor57 | bencahill: i have a Core i3-330UM Processor ( 32nm, 3MB L3 Cache, 1.20GHz, 18 Watt ) | 17:29 |

| nope | random reboots | 17:52 |
| r00t4rd3d | tpconfig | 17:52 |
| sivakumar_ | how can i read my windows desktop fi;es | 17:52 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: the column header says "Size (MB)" and underneath it says "Unusable 16384.76"...so it is MB...which makes sense, as hat was he size of the partition I tried installing winXP to | 17:52 |
| arpit | which apps can u name some of them?? | 17:52 |
| sivakumar_ | sorry files | 17:52 |
| istvan | hey, i just created a VM with ubuntu server in it, but after i changed the network connection to bridged the vm isn't connecting to the internet anymore. | 17:52 |
| nope | istvan: you must "refresh" the network in the vm too | 17:53 |
| arpit | root: can u name some of that apps | 17:53 |
| istvan | nope: how do I do that? | 17:53 |
| nope | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:53 |
| nope | for instancer | 17:53 |
| nope | -r | 17:53 |
| iDope | istvan, is your network set up with DHCP? | 17:53 |
| istvan | yes | 17:53 |
| r00t4rd3d | arpit, type in touchpad in Synaptic Package Manager and start installing and testing | 17:53 |
| r00t4rd3d | tpconfig is one | 17:53 |
| verywiseman | is this tool work like strace but show std lib or user-defined functions instead of system calls? | 17:54 |
| arpit | oh thnxs let me try | 17:54 |
| iDope | istvan: then nopes method is the commandline method. Or you could just click on auto eth0 from the popup on the network manager icon | 17:54 |
| iDope | that will disconnect it | 17:54 |
| iDope | and clicking it again will reconnect | 17:54 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: well if that's the case you would be getting an extra 16gb of space for free, | 17:54 |
| iDope | assuming you are using gnome | 17:54 |
| nope | iDope: he said ubuntu server. a server usually dont have gui :) | 17:55 |
| istvan | iDope: its server | 17:55 |
| iDope | oh | 17:55 |
| nope | (atleast it should not) | 17:55 |
| iDope | missed the server part | 17:55 |
| istvan | eh, that failed, so i guess its not an ubuntu issue | 17:55 |
| iDope | then its a simple case of /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:55 |
| istvan | thanks guys | 17:55 |
| Winston_Wolf | Nobody ever heard of that touchpad problem? | 17:55 |
| Lushy | Hey guys, I'm having some problems getting WoW working - i can load the game and log in normally and smoothly. i pick my char, it loads the bar about 1/4 of the way then the graphics seem to go REALLY bad, but the game doesn't crash. anyone got any ideas? | 17:55 |
| iDope | its probably something wrong with the bridging setup | 17:55 |
| nope | istvan: does it get an ip from dhcp? | 17:55 |
| istvan | nope: nope ;) no dhcp offer | 17:56 |
| nope | ah | 17:56 |
| dh003i | I need to be on a LiveCD to accurately backup my / directory, right ? | 17:56 |
| iDope | if you can set an IP manually and ping your gateway or another IP on your subnet, then its just that DHCP isn't reaching your VM | 17:56 |
| c4ctus | n | 17:56 |
| iDope | if you can't then the bridging isn't working at all | 17:56 |
| Weedo | has anyone ever used lubuntu? | 17:56 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: when I run cfdisk I see something completely different with (util-linux-ng 2.17.2 | 17:56 |

| Winston_Wolf | I need help with my touchpad & mouse please... | 18:02 |
| r00t4rd3d | err tpconfig -i | 18:02 |
| kylejjjjj | well i need a shell script to shutdown my computer when opened | 18:02 |
| arpit | this is new one? | 18:02 |
| arpit | okay let me try with this | 18:02 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: I didn't know sata was hot plugable but I know my usb flashes are | 18:03 |
| arpit | its the same | 18:03 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: after the sata is pluged in you should try fdisk -l again if not seen there try reboot and see if it apears | 18:04 |
| kylejjjjj | pksadiq : i need it to shut down my computer | 18:04 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: I figured part of that out...SATA HD didn't show up when I plugged it into SATA-hotplug backplane b/c I put it in wrong one! I have 6 SATA ports to plug it into, but hte one I plugged it into wasn't connected to the motherboard...only 2 ports are connected to mobo by the sata-cables | 18:04 |
| r00t4rd3d | arpit, what do you get when you type in tpconfig -i in a term | 18:04 |
| arpit | i founf the same thing when i typed tpconfig | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: ok | 18:05 |
| arpit | found* | 18:05 |
| error_203 | red hat or ubuntu? which is best for desktop? | 18:05 |
| arpit | oh u want me to type in terminal | 18:05 |
| arpit | okay let me c | 18:05 |
| josvuk | kylejjj: Basically a shell script is a text with commands to shut down the computer and made executable, write it with an editor and change the mode with chmod | 18:06 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: but I still don't know why the USB stick and HD aren't showing up by default in Ubuntu and being auto-mounted when I plug them in....now I have to manually mount | 18:06 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: and what about the usb flash drive? did you try the frunt and read plugs? my frunt don't work but I don't know wy | 18:06 |
| arpit | it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux] | 18:06 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: oh if they aren't formated they won't auto mount | 18:06 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: well, I tried both plugs, front one that is part of an installed CF-reader, and the ones on top of my case...they worked before | 18:06 |
| FishFace | Updates keep saying to insert CD Ubuntu 10.04. But I am running 10.04. How can I get this to stop? | 18:06 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: nope, all formatted...I just mounted manually | 18:06 |
| FishFace | Whoops...I am running 10.10 | 18:06 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: I stuck in my 2TB backup drive | 18:06 |
| kylejjjjj | well i dont know what to put in the script i use the vim editor but what do i wright | 18:07 |
| arpit | root :it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux] when i type tpconfig -i in terminal | 18:07 |
| pksadiq | kylejjjjj: just sudo halt does , you can also do sleep time to run the command after a time lag | 18:07 |
| Winston_Wolf | I need help with my touchpad & mouse please... | 18:07 |
| kylejjjjj | ok thanks | 18:07 |
| arpit | r00t4rd3d :it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux] when i type tpconfig -i in terminal | 18:07 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: but maybe the usb flash isn't formated? | 18:07 |
| dh003i | llutz: I had backed up everything in / to my 2TB backup drive before...if I do sudo rsync -arux / /mnt/backup, is it just going to look for differences and change those? | 18:08 |

| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, I chose "Manual" at the first screen, and it lists it after that | 18:19 |

| dh003i | sacarlson: why is prolly b/c windows fsked everything | 18:21 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: so /boot need to be on a hdd partition and / on usb (sdb1) right? | 18:21 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, correct, because computer cannot boot to usb | 18:21 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, i assume that would work? | 18:21 |
| bonjoyee | where would grub go? | 18:21 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: it's really awful, it didn't even install the OS...just deleted a partition and *tried* to format it as WinFS (but didn't succeed)...wtf, why is it even touching the MBR for that? | 18:22 |
| nirazio | Does anyone know of any good documentation on different error messages? | 18:22 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, on the hdd, right? | 18:22 |

| bonjoyee | bencahill_: do you grub installed already? | 18:23 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: even on the 1st partition of the HD, WinXP wouldn't install | 18:23 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: it would delete the partition and fsk up the MBR for some reason, but hen would say it couldn't format the partitionas Windows' FS and couldn't install | 18:23 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, well, ubuntu (cli) is currently installed on hdd (regular), but I want to re-install on usb for quietness (this is for a digital picture frame out of an old laptop) | 18:24 |

| nit-wit | dh003i, lets do the bootscipt again http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ paste bin it | 18:24 |

| sacarlson | dh003i: this guy might have the answer he says you can't have too many primary partitons https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103096 | 18:25 |
| Weedo | theres a 10gb limit | 18:25 |
| bencahill_ | Weedo, then just wait :) | 18:25 |
| Weedo | great... | 18:25 |

| deddly | I've started installing Open Sound System according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound but I have aproblem early on in the guide. It says I should type "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" but it returns the error: sudo: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils: command not found. Can anyone help me please? | 18:25 |
| Weedo | i want it before next year | 18:25 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok :) , so what should my partitions be? | 18:26 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: also why not have the entire / on usb? | 18:26 |
| FishFace | Weedo: You should find someone to DL it and mail it to you | 18:26 |
| Weedo | maybe... | 18:26 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, computer cannot boot to usb :) | 18:26 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, XP needs sta divers to be installed on a sata disc is the 1treebyte drive set for sta or ide in the bios | 18:26 |
| Weedo | if i had any friends... | 18:26 |
| Weedo | !! | 18:26 |
| bencahill_ | Weedo, go to library and take a flash drive? | 18:26 |
| FishFace | LOL! | 18:26 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: and I note that I only have 1 primary and all others are logicals | 18:26 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, sata drivers | 18:26 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: please explain..what do u mean... | 18:26 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, the computer's BIOS does not have the capability of booting to a USB device | 18:27 |
| Gintulis | hi, can i delete folder's from /usr/src -> "linux-2.6.36", "linux-headers-2.6.35-23", "linux-headers-2.6.35-23-generic", "linux-headers-2.6.36.2-candela", it used about 5.9GB | 18:27 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: sata drivers? | 18:27 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: but I didn't change 'em, nor the USB drivers | 18:27 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: I'll do the boot script again in a min | 18:27 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: grub should take care of that...if your bios detects the usb device...grub can take control later.. | 18:28 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, your big HD is probably a sata drive, you may be able to change the bios and installXP without the drivers is the XP a OEM disc | 18:28 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, BIOS does not know anything about USB, computer was built in 00-02ish :s | 18:28 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, have you had this XP running on this HD ever | 18:29 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, i guess grub on hdd would be able to boot to usb? | 18:29 |
| pupuserc1803c | what's the problem? | 18:29 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, what do you mean by bios "detecting" the usb device? | 18:29 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: nope, I just d/l-ed WinXP from the most popular XP torrent on kickasstorrents...haven't ever had XP on this comp, just want it now to use Spectraview II to calibrate my monitor | 18:29 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: but u say grub is installed to hdd and the installer detects the usb ...so i dont see any advantage/reason to have ../boot on hdd | 18:30 |
| bonjoyee | anyways..ask some else as well here... | 18:30 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, so when you try and install XP it doesn't see the hd what happens | 18:30 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, I'm not familiar with how /boot works, so I suppose that would work fine :) | 18:30 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: ill tell how i expect it to work.. | 18:31 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, yes I see what you mean now :) | 18:31 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok... | 18:31 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: would this spectraview work in virtualbox? probly not but | 18:31 |
| LSeactuary | hello? | 18:31 |
| LSeactuary | oh okay in in i guess | 18:31 |
| LSeactuary | can someone help me? | 18:31 |
| bonjoyee | bonjoyee: you boot into the already installed os..run update-grub...it detects your os on the usb... | 18:31 |
| bencahill_ | LSeactuary, hello there :), do you have a question regarding ubuntu? | 18:31 |
| LSeactuary | ive basically just fully installed ubuntu | 18:31 |
| bencahill_ | !ask | LSeactuary | 18:31 |
| ubottu | LSeactuary: 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. :-) | 18:31 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, talking to yourself? :) | 18:32 |
| mawst | Ok someone give me a hint here... I updated my /etc/default/grub and my 00_header with the grub_gfxmode stuff... I'm using the nvidie drivers (proprietary)... I get a black screen on boot (shows the splash fine though). Is there something I need to do to the command like, thequiet splash or something? | 18:32 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: it sees the HD, seesthe partitions Linux made...I tried to install to the 1st 16GB partition, which I'd had Linux "delete" to make free space...XP said it couldn't make a filesystem there...something about "Disk 0 ld 0 on ATAPI (MBR)...no XP-compatible partition" | 18:32 |
| bonjoyee | next time u restart..it lists there in the menu..grub handles the control to usb... | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: ususb was designed in 96. so a 2000 system wl have usb although it may not be able to boot it | 18:32 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, i understand, makes perfect sense :) | 18:32 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, now how should I partition the USB drive for ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: well, Graeme, the creator of the free linux profiling software, Argyll, and others on the Argyll mailing list didn't think Spectraview would work in a virtualbox as it has to use DDC (data display channel) to access the monitor | 18:33 |
| bonjoyee | is its blank..nothing to lose..give it a shot.. | 18:33 |
| bonjoyee | if* | 18:33 |
| LSeactuary | i installed ubutnu fully the screen said 'restart now' and everything and the disk came out but now its a black screen with white writing saying '2720.889883 end requiest: I_0 error dev sr0 sector 535236 and the same line with different numbers for about 50 lines. what od i do? | 18:33 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: figures | 18:33 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: I think what it comes down to is that one way or another, to calibrate the monitor from software, u need to access it by DDC (data display channel) via the DVI-D cable...and Linux has no standard protocol for that...hence no monitor is detected in Wine when I try installing the prog from Wine, and virtualbox'd prolly be same | 18:34 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, it's got some files on it, the don't matter | 18:34 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, simce it is a download it is hard to say, but a standard XP install to a sata type HD needs stat drivers unless the bios is set th ahce/ide reboot to the bios and check the HD and this | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | lseactuary: take the cd out of the drive | 18:34 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: no more partitions..just format sdb1 to a filesystem of your choice ext3/4 and use entire as / | 18:34 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, I don't need swap? | 18:34 |
| bonjoyee | how much ram? | 18:34 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, 128mb :P | 18:35 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, but all I'm doing is fbi | 18:35 |
| bonjoyee | hmmm..then u need a bit...say 512MB.. | 18:35 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: here's the boot info script output file: http://pastebin.com/D4V1Tk0Y | 18:35 |
| LSeactuary | anyone? | 18:36 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, right, so a 1.5GB primary ext4, and a 512MB swap | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: use ext2 if the storage is flash based. makes it last longer | 18:36 |
| bonjoyee | but not sure if that will leave enough space for the os.. | 18:36 |
| bencahill_ | ActionParsnip, ok, I'll do that | 18:36 |
| LSeactuary | ActionParnship, the CD came out already so i took it out already. the screen hasnt changed | 18:36 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, current os (which I'm basically cloning) is 1.1gb | 18:36 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: do u have swap on the hdd? | 18:36 |
| bencahill_ | s/gb/GB/ | 18:36 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: so b4 I do anything else stupid, llutz had suggested I use rsync from a newly created user with admin privs like this: rsync -arux / /mnt/backup | 18:37 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, yes, but if I used that, the hdd would probably spin up once in a while, right? | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: have you ever seen any actual benchmarks on that? Ive never seen any 'proof' :) then again ive never had a flash drive go bad either no matter what fs i use | 18:37 |
| LSeactuary | now its just turned off bu the harddrive lights still on??? | 18:37 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_:yes..as you have so less ram in there.. | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | bonjoyee: rule of thuumb is 2xRA foress than 2gb ram | 18:37 |
| === risc is now known as Guest96110 | ||
| Halexander | Still here... | 18:38 |
| LSeactuary | anyone? | 18:38 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, current swap (determined by installer) is 359.7MB | 18:38 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, I'm not familiar with resnc as a backup, notice you now have a 2 terrebyte drive with grub legacy again and a gpt setup, you need to make a thread at the Ubuntu forums | 18:38 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: hmm, I wonder why the 2TB HD is grub legacy...I formatted it from Ubuntu...I think while I was in10.04 | 18:39 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: if ur ok with it use it..else create new .. | 18:39 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, this is more then the IRC is set up to get set up correctly to be honest | 18:39 |
| LSeactuary | okay its come up to the home screen but it looks wrong. can someone please help me. i have alot of work to do..... :( | 18:39 |
| dh003i | nit-wit: the 2TB HD is a backup | 18:39 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, as I said before, wouldn't using the hdd swap make the hdd spin up once in a while? | 18:39 |
| LSeactuary | mod probe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules something | 18:39 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, okay | 18:39 |
| LSeactuary | then it loads to the home screen | 18:39 |
| dh003i | k, i'll post it on Ubuntu forums | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dwillis: flash nhas limited writes and ext2 has no journal. makes sense but i havent seen benchmarks just playing safe | 18:40 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: yes it would... | 18:40 |
| bencahill_ | LSeactuary, you may want to try the ubuntu forums | 18:40 |
| kylejjjjj | i need a shell script that will halt the computer but not require a password | 18:40 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, then I'd rather use the usb for swap | 18:40 |
| LSeactuary | i have - no ones replied! | 18:40 |
| bencahill_ | LSeactuary, oh :) | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kylejjjjj: set the suid bit on the shutdown command. :) is a dirty way to do that | 18:40 |
| agentgasmask | kylejjjjj: "shutdown -h now" run as root | 18:41 |
| bonjoyee | thats fine...also consider what ActionParsnip: said...256MB? | 18:41 |
| deddly | I'm trying to follow this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ but I'm a bit lost from the begining... | 18:41 |
| bonjoyee | since its cli...shud be fine.. | 18:41 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, yes, I think I'll go with that, as I am only running one program (fbi) | 18:41 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok, I'm trying it now... | 18:41 |
| * bencahill_ tries... | 18:41 | |
| kylejjjjj | im very sorry im verry new to linux i genral what did you mean suid bit? | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | kylejjjjj: you camn add shutdown to visudo and it wont. there are guides | 18:42 |
| deddly | Please could someone help me to do this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ | 18:43 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_:also ...if the installer asks where to install the grub...let it do on the usb device..u can use it later on a newer system..that support usb booting... | 18:43 |
| nit-wit | dh003i, pm me when you post the bootscrpt on the forums | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | kylejjjjj: the 'suid bit' is a special mode that if set on a binary - that binary runs as the owner. its a way to let things run as 'root' all the time. Its considerd a security risk. | 18:43 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | kylejjjjj: you can set up sudo, where 'sudo shutdown' would NOT require a password. also. thats 'safer' | 18:44 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: I'm not sure I'm reading you last grub thing correct but is grub 16gb? 16.3GB: grub/stage2 | 18:44 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, I'm setting up the partitions...doing the ext3 1.8GB right now, do I want the bootable flag "on"? | 18:44 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_:check twice..the usb device:) | 18:44 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: the 1st unused area from cfdisk is 16 GB, yes | 18:44 |
| bonjoyee | yes...its not needed in ur setup..but do it | 18:44 |
| sivakumar | i have a problem on drapes that it is not restrating itself when i logged in | 18:44 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok, got it | 18:44 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: I guess it was needed for grub? | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | kylejjjjj: read up on 'sudo' configuration if you want to go the sudo route. | 18:45 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, will do, do you think removing and re-inserting the usb drive will mess up the install? | 18:45 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: no, it was originally a 16GB swap partition | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | 18:45 |
| ubottu | 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 | 18:45 |
| kylejjjjj | ok thanks | 18:45 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: not after starting the installer... | 18:45 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: then I thought I'd use it for Windows XP, because windows needs the 1st partition | 18:45 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: but windows failed to install | 18:45 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok, off to check the usb contents :) | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bonjoyee: with the space and power limitation i suggest you ise lubuntu | 18:45 |
| pupuserc1803c | you burned xp? | 18:46 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: ok that clears that up I guess | 18:46 |
| bonjoyee | ActionParsnip: its just the cli..minimal install | 18:46 |
| sivakumar | is here anyone know about drapes | 18:46 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, yeah, there wasn't anything on there I needed, always good to check, though :) | 18:46 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: so was this guy right then https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103096 | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | makes sense. tbats ool too | 18:46 |
| bonjoyee | hmm.. | 18:47 |
| sacarlson | dh003i: I think you still only have 3 primary so I guess it could still have 1 more | 18:47 |
| dh003i | sacarlson: I don't even know what he's trying to say | 18:47 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, I don't need any special mount options? | 18:47 |
| === ahmed is now known as Guest29247 | ||

| OerH | Leon_Wallch_Deve, support natty 11.04 in #Ubuntu+1 | 18:54 |

| Cha0s | Dr_Willis, Hmmmm i honestlly cant remember. when i first setup i came into channel and asked if anyone knew how to remove passwords and someone guided me through it. i was a total noob | 19:35 |

| LSeactuary | is somone replying to me .... im not getting any response here. | 19:38 |
| thomc | shcherbak, I understand what you're suggesting, but I'm not quite sure how to write the script to set it up, sorry. | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | anthon: dunno; you tell us. what errors do you get when you try? | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | !details | anthon | 19:38 |
| ubottu | anthon: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 19:38 |
| shcherbak | thomc: 2 minutes | 19:38 |
| anthon | no errrors just nothing works | 19:38 |
| bazhang | LSeactuary, ask a question first | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | !doesntwork | 19:39 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 19:39 |
| bullgard4 | erUSUL: This shows OpenOffice.org 3.2. (*surprised*) | 19:39 |
| phaas | Hey I ubdated to ubuntu 10.10 recently and have been having some problems with my computers internet connection. Originally I had 9.10 and everything worked perfectly. Since updating it takes a considerably longer amount of time to connect to the interent and the connection goes off and on. Has anyone else had this problem | 19:39 |
| Lantchips | if I have a man file how do I make man go into that place where the manual for the program is ? | 19:39 |
| Cha0s | Dr_Willis, ok i dont have anything password related in system>pref or in system> admin. i also checked in main menu setting to ensure it wasnt just not selected | 19:39 |
| kcorcoran_ | i have a .SO file - how do install? | 19:39 |
| thomc | shcherbak, ok | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: well what did you expected? afaik openoffice uses gstreamer ( like banshee or the media player or many other players) to manage multimedia | 19:39 |
| bonjoyee | kcorcoran_: what .so file is it? | 19:40 |
| LSeactuary | CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!! | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Cha0s: run the seahorse program thats its actual name.. what ubuntu are you useing? | 19:40 |
| frxstrem | how do I get the IP of a domain name in the command line? | 19:40 |
| bazhang | LSeactuary, ask a question and lose the caps | 19:40 |
| kcorcoran_ | hold on a moment, i think i figured it out | 19:40 |
| LSeactuary | im trying to install this: http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 and the •Avant Windows Manager elegant glass theme doesnt work | 19:40 |
| bonjoyee | kcorcoran_: .so files are shared libs/plugins mostly.. | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: thats not really somthing we controll. - Theres dozens of ubuntu-mac look themes out there. | 19:41 |
| Cha0s | Dr_Willis, 10.10 | 19:41 |
| infinitus | frxstrem: nslookup domainname.com | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: it could be thats for 'hardy' which is an OLD ubuntu release | 19:41 |
| anthon | well it installs as i should but every time i launch the program from my GUI well sorry it wont run. i get no error messages. thought i maybe needed some libraries? | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Cha0s: look atgin in the perferances menu then. | 19:41 |
| kcorcoran_ | bonjoyee: i need to copy the file to my browser plug in folder? where is the default location for firefox? | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Cha0s: for the item that says 'passwords and keys' | 19:41 |
| LSeactuary | do you have a link which will work? ie how i can install a macbook theme with the new ubuntu | 19:41 |
| frxstrem | infinitus: okay, is it possible to only get the IP address of the domain name? | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: omgubuntu and webupd8 proberly have news on several of them. I find they all basically suck. | 19:42 |
| bonjoyee | kcorcoran_: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 19:42 |
| Windowed | I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 I'm connected with a home network to my winXP machines that I use to see in the network right after installing. After I installed Samba each time I select Network it tells me it cannot retrieve the share list from the server.... | 19:42 |
| bonjoyee | kcorcoran_: is it flash? | 19:42 |
| deddly | Oh dear. OK Now I need more help with my sound. I just removed ALSA and installed OSS according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound and followed the instructions on configuring ALSA apps to use OSS but now when I try to play an mp3 on Audacious it returns this error message: ALSA error, No suitable mixer element found" What do I do now? | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: i saw one the other day called 'macbuntu-10.10' it even had plymouth themes and stuff. | 19:42 |
| LSeactuary | OMG are you serious. the whole point of me instaling ubutnu was to get the mac theme | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: that macbuntu was a script that set it up to look almost ientical to a mac.. (how pointless i thought) | 19:43 |
| kcorcoran_ | yes | 19:43 |
| ClaireClay | hi, could anyone give me a hand, please? | 19:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ | 19:43 |
| LSeactuary | huh? ive just installed ubuntu.... what do i do now to make it look and work exactly like a mac? | 19:43 |
| a_ | ClaireClay: why do you need my hand? ;> | 19:43 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: see that macbuntu script | 19:44 |
| ClaireClay | yes | 19:44 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: you don't, it's not a mac | 19:44 |
| KM0201 | Dr_Willis: no more pointless than people who install linux, ans want it to look like Windows.. i never got that either | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: or find some other mac-look project. theres several out | 19:44 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: don't push that, it's bad | 19:44 |
| infinitus | frxstrem: i don't know, maybe grep? | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ikonia: :) my IMAC is doing a fine job.. as a doorstop. :P | 19:44 |
| Guest44560 | hey! how do I make GRUB look for OS in multiple HDD? | 19:44 |

| a_ | LSeactuary: first, you press that ubuntu-like button in the corner | 19:44 |
| ClaireClay | i want to know the comand in ubuntu to install ^ and ~ | 19:44 |
| infinitus | frxstrem: as far as i know, there are 3 commands. host, nslookup and dig. but none of them return ip address only | 19:44 |
| ClaireClay | do you know? | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest44560: when i run 'sudo update-grub' it does that automaticlly. | 19:44 |
| luneth95 | I'm running ubuntu 10.10 with 3gb persistence off of a usb. I ran it on a laptop and made myself admin, and ran the code rfkill unblock all | 19:44 |

| bullgard4 | erUSUL: (My audio knowledge is patchy.) Shouldn't '~$ lsof | grep pcm' show a »gstreamer« entry then? | 19:45 |
| ClaireClay | graphic signs such as the one people use in spanish | 19:45 |
| diablodf | ok! | 19:45 |
| LSeactuary | Dr_Wilis how do i install the link? ive downloaded it by clicking the green button. sorry im new to this | 19:46 |
| a_ | you go to "www.google.pl" and search: mac emerald theme, then mac icons compiz, and then in synaptic cairo-dock and search again some mac wallpapers | 19:46 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: read the directions at the web site. extract the archive. read the README | 19:46 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: when you use pulseaudio then only pulseaudio access the sound card. the apps conteact PA so it plays the sound for them | 19:46 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: I strongly advise you not to use it | 19:46 |
| ClaireClay | erusul: that command is not enough | 19:46 |
| Texas | hello i accidentally set a wrong miro file to be the default launcher on firefox how can i correct this wrong setting on firefox? | 19:46 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: you may want to learn some ubuntu basics and actually try the normal ubuntu first. that macbuntu script does a LOT of changes | 19:46 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: if you want something to lokok/behave like a mac, buy a mac and use OS X | 19:46 |
| luneth95 | can anyone help me with that? | 19:46 |
| LSeactuary | what website? its only has the download button. | 19:46 |
| LSeactuary | why is it so bad? | 19:46 |
| LSeactuary | i cant afford a mac! lol | 19:47 |
| ClaireClay | erUSUL: i tried that but didn't work | 19:47 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: sudo lsof /dev/snd/* | 19:47 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: then use Linux as Linux | 19:47 |

| ClaireClay | yes | 19:47 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: possibly | 19:47 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: the legality of that script installing all sorts of mac copurighted images and fonts is a bit of a legal grey alrea also. | 19:47 |
| Guest44560 | Dr_Willis: hmm.. I only get Windows 7 (loader), And when I choose that option when booting it just restarts and and I get to grub again :/ | 19:47 |
| Texas | please can anyone help been at it for hours | 19:47 |
| happymaja | Guys, I really dig Ubuntu, but I've got some bad issues with audio on my lenovo U350. Just drops dead, and needs a reboot ro come back on. Anyone got this issue fixed? | 19:48 |
| ClaireClay | although, i need the spanish / brazillian one | 19:48 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: i do recall that script at least having an uninstall feature that worked. | 19:48 |
| jchase520 | actualy i have Mac installed on my pc now snow leopard | 19:48 |
| LSeactuary | oh - but im not selling it. its just a person thing. | 19:48 |
| jchase520 | its caleld Hackintosh | 19:48 |
| LSeactuary | ikonia - please go on | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: recent version has stopped working for uninstall, hence my dislike of it | 19:48 |
| deddly | erUSUL: OK, I changed the preferences>Current Output plugin to OSS Output Plugin. Now, when clicking an mp3 it just skips to the next, next, next all the way through the playlist | 19:48 |
| ikonia | jchase520: thats illegal and offtopic here | 19:48 |
| jchase520 | 0_o | 19:48 |
| LSeactuary | i just really dont like the ubuntu desktop tbh and want something like microsoft/apple | 19:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ikonia: i last tried it ages ago. i was about to delete the macbuntu dir when he asked. :) thats the only reason i rembered it. | 19:49 |
| ClaireClay | erUSUL: mine is USA but i cant change it to use spanish and brazillian, although i need that | 19:49 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: use windows or apple theren, | 19:49 |
| jchase520 | wat dont u like about the desktop? | 19:49 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: there's a bazillion themes on gnome-look.org | 19:49 |
| KM0201 | go look at them | 19:49 |
| suv | LSeactuary: if you are really so desperate, then install AWN, install some mac theme you like from www.gnome-look.org/ | 19:49 |
| LSeactuary | i had windows - kept crashing and it was really bad | 19:49 |
| LSeactuary | AWN? | 19:49 |
| jchase520 | yea i hated the defualt look on ubuntu but now i have this sexy gnome look | 19:49 |
| suv | LSeactuary: and yeah, also install compiz. then start playing/tweaking. | 19:50 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: i suggest you try using ubuntu for at least a month as it was designed. | 19:50 |
| suv | LSeactuary: that will keep you busy for some time | 19:50 |
| suv | :P | 19:50 |
| erUSUL | ClaireClay: so « shift + 6 » wont print ^ ? | 19:50 |

| DarsVaeda | what's the easiest way to low level format an external drive (compact flash card) with ubuntu? | 19:51 |
| Guest44560 | Dr_Willis: hmm.. I only get Windows 7 (loader), And when I choose that option when booting it just restarts and and takes me to grub again :/ | 19:51 |
| suv | just type 'sudo apt-get awn' | 19:51 |
| LSeactuary | can 1 person please tell me excaty what to install - im getting really lost | 19:51 |
| KM0201 | TheShoemaker: can you get to Windows? | 19:51 |
| TheShoemaker | Yeah, I'm in it right now | 19:51 |
| bonjoyee | DarsVaeda: dd..i think | 19:51 |
| Dr_Willis | DarsVaeda: if you want to 'zero' out a hard drive. you can use 'dd' - a 'true' low level format is rarely needed these days. I think most manafactures have tools spefifically designed to do that. | 19:52 |
| suv | i guess that's the command... if not found type 'sudo apt-search awn' and select something meaningful | 19:52 |
| KM0201 | TheShoemaker: wel,l thats good. | 19:52 |
| LSeactuary | so far ive just downloaded sourceforce.net/projects/macbuntu | 19:52 |
| TheShoemaker | KM0201: Better than nothing | 19:52 |
| Dr_Willis | dd is not the same as a low level format. :) but its let me fix up a few messed up flash drives in the past. | 19:52 |
| LSeactuary | is that okay? | 19:52 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: read the links ubottu just sent you | 19:52 |
| tripelb | for years I've thought that a one-item on the clipboard is too limiting. -- anyone have a option to save more (whatever keystrokes it might be) ? | 19:52 |
| suv | btw, Dr_Willis is right, use the default for sometime.. may be you'll like it.. | 19:52 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: extract the archive. read the readme included in it. | 19:52 |
| deddly | I think I've messed up my sound :( I installed OSS and now I get nothing at all | 19:52 |
| LSeactuary | so it wont damage my computer dr_Willis? | 19:52 |
| intick | pleassseee i need help, cant start my ftp serve using SH file, while it works perfectly in a terminale .. | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: read the various docs at -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ | 19:53 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: it may do damage to the OS as I've warned you | 19:53 |
| VCoolio | tripelb: install parcellite? | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: no idea. if it does.. it not officially suported here.. so you are on your own. | 19:53 |
| frxstrem | can anyone recommend some good looking themes for Ubuntu? (I want to freshen it up a bit, but just don't know what to try) | 19:53 |
| LSeactuary | ikonia - then suggest an alternative.... | 19:53 |
| VCoolio | frxstrem: gnome-look.org has a rating system, look at that | 19:53 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: read the links ubottu sent you | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | frxstrem: dozens of them in the repos. many popular ones mentioned at omgubuntu and the webupd8 web sites | 19:53 |
| bonjoyee | intick: what line in the script starts the ftp server | 19:53 |
| LSeactuary | ikonia - im doing that 1 sec | 19:53 |
| intick | bonjoyee: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -C 4 -O stats:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -A -s -I 3 -p 51000:51367 -Z -U 132:002 -u 100 -m 4 -8 UTF-8 -t 64 -W -c 50 -k 98 -w -H -Y 0 -B | 19:54 |
| Dr_Willis | theres so many os-x type themes out there for ubuntu and gnome - its scary. :) | 19:54 |
| frxstrem | VCoolio, Dr_Willis: okay, I'll check that out | 19:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gnome-art | 19:54 |

| DarsVaeda | okay thanks but guess dd can at least mid-level format then? I just want to securely wipe a drive before selling | 19:54 |
| deddly | Anyone here with experience in OSS? | 19:54 |
| bullgard4 | erUSUL: This obtains http://pastebin.com/Z7CzuP4V and I am struggeling to interpret this result. | 19:54 |
| bonjoyee | intick: running the script as root? | 19:54 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis, (re low level format) I had a problem for a while that no one here had any answers to. The problem was gparted keeps "unexpectedly quitting". ... it was solved by letting Windows do a long slow format of the HD. {It was a new HD, worked at first in gparted then poof.} | 19:54 |
| Dr_Willis | DarsVaeda: theres secure deletion tools that are designed for that task | 19:54 |
| Guest44560 | ok.. how do I config GRUB? | 19:54 |
| Dr_Willis | DarsVaeda: using dd a few times probelry will do it also. | 19:54 |
| VCoolio | deddly: same as you; I uninstalled and went back to alsa | 19:54 |
| LSeactuary | ikonia - i understood 0 of the links | 19:54 |
| intick | bonjoyee: work fine on a terminal (root) but if i put this on a shortcut or sh file (chmoded ect..) it execute but server is not started | 19:54 |
| intick | bonjoyee: tried bash and sh | 19:55 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: the only program using your sound device is pulseaudio as it should be | 19:55 |
| suv | LSeactuary: -huh? what's there to understand | 19:55 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis, I might assume that windows did a low level NTFS format. Were there any tools in opensource I could have used? | 19:55 |
| DarsVaeda | how would you call such tools, i'm german maybe i search the wrong terms, was not lucky yet in finding such tools for ubuntu | 19:55 |
| deddly | VCoolio: Oh...I tried OSS in the hope that it would fix the click click click sound I'm experiencing | 19:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: windows 'slow' vs qwuick format. also does some sort of verify - not sure if thats the same as 'badblocks' in linux does or not. | 19:55 |
| suv | just click on them | 19:55 |
| bonjoyee | intick: how do you run the script..sudo something.sh? | 19:55 |
| LSeactuary | suv - im completely new to this and dont get the links. it doesnt explain anything step by step. please just tell me what i should do | 19:55 |
| bullgard4 | erUSUL: Thank you very much for explaining and your help. | 19:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: the phrase 'low level ntfs format' isent really right. :) a 'low level format' is lower then the filesystem. from wha ti recall in my OLD days. | 19:55 |
| noonian | intick, that sounds like a permissions issue. Can you do it in a terminal without root? | 19:56 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: no problem | 19:56 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis, kind as you were to answer, I am not advanced enough to understand the first comment you made. | 19:56 |
| jchase520 | l | 19:56 |
| * tripelb goes to look up what a low level format really is. | 19:56 | |
| Dr_Willis | low-level formatting - (computer science) the format of sectors on the surface of a hard disk drive so that the operating system can access them and setting a starting position | 19:56 |
| intick | noonian: no in terminale it works with sudo | 19:56 |
| intick | bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/8G09W5tT | 19:56 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: did you read the link i gave you? | 19:56 |
| intick | bonjoyee: yes sudo | 19:56 |
| KM0201 | its pretty clear | 19:56 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: low level = think of paper pulp getting pressed into actual 'sheets' :) | 19:56 |
| noonian | intick, and not without sudo? | 19:56 |
| LSeactuary | KM0201 - did you send anything? | 19:57 |
| KM0201 | yes | 19:57 |
| LSeactuary | what did you send.... i dont recognise your name? | 19:57 |
| deddly | Can anyone help me get OSS working? | 19:57 |
| intick | noonian: no, this is normal i've configured it so, it's needs sudo r gksu to start, but when i try to put the command line in any shortcut it does not work i maybe dont do it well :S | 19:57 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis, yes a low level format would be lower than the filesystem. In fact I do believe that any format is lower than the file system. --Hey, I would like a computer explaination not an artpaper one. I have to decide how and when that would apply to electronics so it's not too useful to me. | 19:57 |
| Zacol | Some try Ubuntu based distro for netbook- Jolicloud? I have some questions. | 19:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: in this day and age. i think if you ever 'have' to do a true low level format. well.. the hd may be in big trouble. :) | 19:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting#Low-level_formatting_.28LLF.29_of_hard_disks | 19:57 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: i PM'd it to you... but lets just say, if you Googled "Macbuntu" and clicked on the 3rd link.. you'd likely have your answers | 19:58 |
| jchase520 | whats OSS? | 19:58 |

| bonjoyee | intick: is the entire command on one line in the script.. | 19:58 |
| hal | on ubuntu 10.10, does anyone know where you configure the display resolution? | 19:58 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: if you ever hear someone use the term 'you need to low level format' --- red flags.. and alarms. :) should be going off. | 19:58 |
| KM0201 | TheShoemaker: wubi problems are often hard to track down... | 19:58 |
| intick | bonjoyee: yep | 19:58 |
| Zacol | Some try Ubuntu based distro for netbook- Jolicloud? I have some questions. | 19:58 |
| TheShoemaker | Alright then, wasting my time it is. | 19:58 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: either they are not using the term ritht.. or the HD is in a very bad state | 19:58 |
| tripelb | thanks for the link Dr_Willis but... I'd like to know what MS does in the XP slow format vs the quick-format. (I know this isnt the place to ask,, but justincase someone knows.) | 19:58 |

| Dr_Willis | tripelb: is my guess.. ask in #windows perhaps | 19:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | hal: its a short-term fix until the actual hd computer mointor shows up and i have a dvi video card | 19:59 |
| LSeactuary | suv - i get it but i still want the themechanged | 19:59 |

| Aihetleos | how to find ip address of a website through terminal? | 20:00 |
| bonjoyee | intick:try ./script.sh | 20:00 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis, I had a virus once, obviously windows, for which I had to follow directions which involved using DEBUG to change values. I do believe it was in the MBR. Therefore I can assume that the MBR persists through a MS format. | 20:00 |
| LSeactuary | Km0201 - lifehacker.com? | 20:00 |
| linux_is_my_hero | hal: system-->preferences-->monitor | 20:00 |
| ikonia | Aihetleos: just nslookup the domain, or dig it | 20:00 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: install the 'gnome-art' program and play with all the themes you can download. | 20:00 |
| intick | tried .. i'll retry | 20:00 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: the MBR is one small part at the front of the hard drive. | 20:01 |
| LSeactuary | Dr_willis - is the apple mac one there? | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: its not an actual filesystem | 20:01 |
| hal | it's only showing 800x600 and 640x480 | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: theres Dozens of apple-cloneish themes out there. | 20:01 |
| LSeactuary | yes but i want a safe one... | 20:01 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: you seem to want to have this "handed" to you.. you're going to have to look and see what suits your style... that link i gave you, is one of many on this subject | 20:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | hal: update your drivers for your video card | 20:01 |
| bonjoyee | intick: elset try putting sudo in the script.. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: you want apple - use a mac, if not, select a them and use linux | 20:01 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: there are many out there, look for yourself, | 20:02 |
| Dr_Willis | LSeactuary: you are just installing a theme.. the worse that could do from the gnome-art app. is give you an ugly theme for your one user. | 20:02 |
| deddly | I'm fed up with this. Why does sound work perfectly in a DSL distribution from 2004 but Ubuntu 10.04 crackles and pops and cliks?? | 20:02 |
| intick | bonjoyee: already done .. tried also gnome-terminal -e 'my command' same .. it opens the window but server still not started | 20:02 |
| ikonia | deddly: possibly because the newer kernel module has less support for your card, or there is bug in pulse audio | 20:02 |
| intick | bonjoyee: realy weird | 20:02 |
| KM0201 | deddly: cuz ubuntu 10.04 is like rice crispies? | 20:02 |
| Dr_Willis | deddly: ive seen some issues with sound card/power saver features causing pops and noises when the card is woken up. | 20:02 |
| LSeactuary | i dont want it handed to me but i am new and dont get this.i did google around but then you gys put me off installing it because y ou said my OS system may crash. ive just installed this so sorry if im asking again and again and making sure of stuff before i jump in | 20:02 |

| Dr_Willis | Zacol: Jolicloud has its own support areas. its not 'ubuntu' and personally. i found its support areas VERY VERY lacking. | 20:03 |
| bonjoyee | intick:how? | 20:03 |
| intick | bonjoyee: with sudo ./script.sh | 20:03 |
| LSeactuary | what answers - eveyones saying different things | 20:03 |
| deddly | Dr_Willis: This is constans, regular popping | 20:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Zacol: theres the #jolicloud cjhannel. | 20:04 |

| deddly | Dr_Willis: constant* | 20:04 |
| LSeactuary | and KM0201 - i havent got a PM from you | 20:04 |
| ikonia | Crym: did you use update-manager ? | 20:04 |
| n-iCe | *how true is this? that wireless cards works better in ubuntu than in linux, how can be that possible?* | 20:04 |
| Dr_Willis | deddly: check the forums and bug reports for your exact chipset see if any one has some potential fixs perjhaps. | 20:04 |
| intick | bonjoyee: i may have tried with no sudo befor the ./scipt.sh thx a lot mate :) | 20:04 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: well, i told you how to find the link i gave you. | 20:04 |
| Crym | ikonia, no, apt-get through terminal | 20:04 |
| itaylor57 | Crym: its a bug you are on 10.10 | 20:04 |
| bonjoyee | intick: u want to run this on startup? | 20:04 |
| ikonia | itaylor57: there is a bug on 10.10 that upgrades you to 11.04 ? | 20:04 |
| Dr_Willis | n-iCe: i doubt if its very true at all, since the phrase 'than in linux' is.. basically wrong. | 20:04 |
| LSeactuary | yes - is it http://lifehacker.com/5665765/macbuntu-makes-your-linux-desktop-look-like-mac-os-x | 20:04 |
| luneth95 | can someone help me | 20:05 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: is it the third link, when you google macbuntu, like i said? | 20:05 |
| luneth95 | I asked my question a little bit ago and still no answer | 20:05 |
| shcherbak | thomc: you still there? it took a bit longer | 20:05 |
| deddly | Dr_Willis: All I've found is people saying sound works perfectly out of the box. Now I've tried installing Open Sound System and I get no sound at all, the player just skips to the next track on the playlist | 20:05 |
| itaylor57 | ikonia: no the system menu says you are at 11.04 | 20:05 |
| LSeactuary | yes it was the 3rd link on my computer | 20:05 |
| thomc | shcherbak: still here | 20:05 |
| n-iCe | Dr_Willis tell me your experience, because I have installed linux distro, but the signal strenght is not even equal than windows, windows works better in this way, what do you think | 20:05 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: .... | 20:05 |
| LSeactuary | i just want to know its safe to install it | 20:05 |
| shcherbak | let me paste it somewhere | 20:05 |
| Dr_Willis | n-iCe: perhaps you pasted your question wrong.. You dident mention 'windows' originally. | 20:05 |
| intick | bonjoyee: not at the moment but if you can tel me how to do taht it'll help me for later | 20:05 |
| ikonia | itaylor57: doesn't on mine | 20:05 |
| bonjoyee | intick: in that case the sudo will not work | 20:05 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: there's an inherent risk when you install anything third party.. whether its from that site, or from gnome-look.org, or whatever... | 20:05 |
| itaylor57 | ikonia: System Help shows it | 20:06 |
| n-iCe | Dr_Willis maybe, I mean, will a wireless card work better in a linux box than in windows? | 20:06 |
| LSeactuary | okay but it 'should' be okay right? | 20:06 |
| KM0201 | LSeactuary: 99% of the time, it's not an issue.. then there's that 1%.. | 20:06 |
| itaylor57 | ikonia: System About | 20:06 |
| intick | bonjoyee: i can add it in initrd or somthing ? | 20:06 |
| ikonia | itaylor57: no it doesn't | 20:06 |
| Dr_Willis | n-iCe: it depends on teh drivers.. and the wireless makers spend more time and $$$ on the drivers for windows.. so i would not be suprised tthat the windows drivers would be more efficient and have more features | 20:06 |
| itaylor57 | ikonia: I'll pastebin | 20:06 |
| tripelb | <Dr_Willis> tripelb: the MBR is one small part at the front of the hard drive. --- I know that. Remember I said that any format was lower level than a file system. AFAIK that shows I know that the mbr is lower than a filesystem since no filesystem would persist after any format. | 20:06 |
| n-iCe | Dr_Willis iwl3945 | 20:06 |
| ikonia | itaylor57: You are using Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat - | 20:07 |
| LSeactuary | KM0201 - okay ill keep my eyes open - thanks! | 20:07 |
| Crym | itaylor57, ok, so i'm still using 10.10? got some problems installing the kernel-modules for vmware 7.1. gonna failsearch a bit more then | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | n-iCe: some wireless cards are very very well supported in linux. so with the more efficient linux. i could see how they could 'benchmark' better in linux then windows. under similer tests | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Crym: show me the output of "uname -a" please | 20:07 |
| LSeactuary | one other question - ive got a burning programme on a disc (ISO file) - how do install it on ubuntu? it it like windows - i can just intall stuff? | 20:07 |
| JeopardySholdenK | Morjens kaikki! Hello everybody! Hey på alla! -- How is it going? | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: you format to make a filesystem. .... | 20:07 |
| bonjoyee | intick: or maybe add to root crontab ..as a reboot job..but the classical way is to add is as a service...as that ensures proper shutdown of it | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: unless you mean after a 'low level format' :) | 20:08 |
| ikonia | LSeactuary: what is the program called | 20:08 |

| LSeactuary | sonic digital media home edition | 20:08 |

| Sir_Konrad | I'm kind of having a strange issue. With every other time I boot 10.10, it's incredibly slow. When I reboot and let the machine sit for about a minute before I use it, it's fine. Anything I can do to fix this? | 20:08 |

| yogesh | canthus13, in sound preferences the sound bar shows the sound is playing but actually it is not played or i cant heard | 20:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Lushy: i doubt if that will work | 20:24 |
| Lushy | and Dr_Willis, i wasn't particularly asking for a tool - just a method of doing that. | 20:24 |

| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, ok, here it goes :-/ | 20:26 |
| Dr_Willis | kic0m: reboot the pc. get to the bios. check its settings.. | 20:26 |
| Daghdha | Ok, and what is the logic exactly behind /var/lib/xxxxx? For me to better comprehend where to find them next time | 20:26 |

| maxflax | Hello, Anyone know how I can move my grub from one disk to another? | 20:27 |
| trollololo123 | =D | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | maxflax: if you mean the grub bootloader on the MBR. you can just reinstall it to another location. | 20:28 |
| yogesh | canthus13, how do i do that | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | maxflax: you have 2 hds on the pc? or whats the setup exactly? | 20:28 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, appears to be working, but hung on libexpat1 :-\ | 20:28 |
| canthus13 | yogesh: Sound preferences. It should show what output. if you've got more than one output, it's possible that sound is going to the wrong one. | 20:28 |
| yogesh | canthus13, how do i send the sound to right output | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Daghdha: never have figured that out. somthign with the way the system handles on the fly shareing. | 20:28 |
| duffydack | Lushy, not great I know but, could use the sysprep tool on an already installed xp, (it like shrink wraps it for install onto another pc) and then clone it with clonezilla and then yo can use a usb stick to restore it.. | 20:28 |
| intick | bonjoyee: tried with bashrc but the problem is still the same, seems impossible to sudo command in shortcuts | 20:28 |
| duffydack | Lushy, dont ask me any more on that, its been 8 years since I did anything like | 20:29 |
| maxflax | Dr_Willis - I got 2 HD - installed a new HD yesterday and installed ubuntu on that one aswell.. have ubuntu on my other disc aswell and a WIndows XP | 20:29 |
| Daghdha | Man wish VNC would show when it didn't have focus. | 20:29 |
| canthus13 | yogesh: If there's only one output listed there, then I'm out of ideas. (Unless you've got headphones plugged in and forgot...) | 20:29 |
| maxflax | Dr_ | 20:29 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, dammit, it said libexpat1 was corrupt--could this be a problem with the usb drive, rather than the cd, or do i just need to get better cds? | 20:29 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill_: did u do update-grub? | 20:30 |
| nothingspecial | intick: sudo alias | 20:30 |
| bonjoyee | from the hdd ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| maxflax | Dr_Willis - The case is that I think that the bootloader is on the old ubuntu partition | 20:30 |
| shcherbak | intick: you mean keyboard shortcuts | 20:30 |
| Lushy | duffydack, you think if i installed an application on wine, eg ultraiso, i would be able to create one? | 20:30 |
| bencahill_ | bonjoyee, I haven't gotten the new install to work yet, all 3 cds were corrupt (I knew one of them was already) | 20:30 |
| duffydack | Lushy, ? if you cant make one in window with windows apps then using wine is pointless. | 20:30 |
| bonjoyee | ok..thought u finished install.. | 20:30 |
| intick | bonjoyee: in bashr > startftp='my_long_command' i then created a shorcut on my desktop to : sudo startsrv (choosed start on terminal) but does not work | 20:30 |
| maxflax | Dr_Willis: And I since I will be removing that partition It will be lost and computer will not boot.. so I need to move the bootloader from that partition to my new drive | 20:31 |
| intick | bonjoyee: yes if i sudo alias in a terminal it works fine but not on a sshortcut .. | 20:31 |

| maxflax | Dr_Willis : So I have 2 ubuntu installations and a Windows XP .. the new ubuntu on the new drive and a old ubuntu and win xp on old drive.. | 20:50 |
| Dr_Willis | maxflax: i would just set the pc to boot the new ubuntu hd by default and see if it works. if it does - you got grub installed there. | 20:50 |
| intick | shcherbak: ? i did mistakes in my command line ? | 20:51 |

| frxstrem | Xeross: in what way is the package broken? | 20:52 |

I did something a bit stupid so please don't laugh haha Here is the problem: my system frozen while updating Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the Ubunt updater and couldn't restart Ubuntu at all (I have dual boot with XP SP3). So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP... | 20:53 |
| Gajzha | ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD? | 20:53 |

| r00t4rd3d | jimfleig, thats what i would do. No experience with chatzilla | 20:54 |
| Dr_Willis | daanish: look at wehat files are there perhaps? use 'ls' | 20:54 |
| daanish | what is the command to untar a file? Maybe I should start from the beginning.. | 20:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | daanish | 20:54 |
| ubottu | daanish: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre4 (maverick), package size 13 kB, installed size 100 kB | 20:54 |
| Dr_Willis | daanish: i cheat and install 'unp' :) and use that. | 20:54 |
| r00t4rd3d | daanish, just try make | 20:55 |
| jimfleig | r00t4rd3d I'll give it a try. | 20:55 |
| Random832 | maxflax: well that's why FloodBot saidd that to you - you seem to have it under control with that last line | 20:55 |
| Dr_Willis | daanish: you did 'cd' into the source directory it unpacked into? | 20:55 |

| alexk87___ | shcherbak, yeah, add multiple tags to files and be able to sort via those, but something low level | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | EddieGordo: That error is probably from grub, as it's trying to get fonts for the graphical menu from /. Since the graphical menu is not required it doesn't prevent booting. That said grub should be able to read from an mdraid array, so please file a bug report about this. | 20:58 |

| magicianlord | ahmedkotb: what computer? | 21:25 |
| Sir_Konrad | r00t4rd3d, that could cause the issue? | 21:25 |

| Sir_Konrad | Vinux, welcome to Ubuntu! Anything I can help you with? | 21:28 |
| ahmedkotb | shcherbak, i think that will disable the net connection also | 21:28 |
| SuNotisima | help: my grub2 won't timeout, no matter what i set. what do i do | 21:28 |
| magicianlord | ahmedkotb: do you have a broadcom card? | 21:28 |
| JeopardySholdenK | Hi vinux | 21:28 |
| ahmedkotb | magicianlord, it is a built in one ,,, i didnt have any problem with it before yesterday | 21:28 |
| vinux | i m installing ubuntu 10.10 on my dell inspiron | 21:29 |
| magicianlord | ahmedkotb: so you dont know if its broadcom or not. that,s what tends to freeze it | 21:29 |
| vinux | but after bootin windows 7, grub loader destroys | 21:29 |
| dw- | Gajzha: yea | 21:29 |
| vinux | and "No module found error" | 21:29 |
| Sir_Konrad | vinux, it destroys? | 21:30 |
| dw- | Gajzha: but if you installed over the ubuntu partition it might not be much use | 21:30 |
| Sir_Konrad | vinux, you mean GRUB seems to be wiped out. | 21:30 |
| vinux | ya | 21:30 |
| ahmedkotb | magicianlord, why not not before ??? | 21:30 |
| elijah | how do i find out my userid? | 21:30 |
| JeopardySholdenK | vinux I don't know about 10.10 so much - are you sure that you are an expert user? Because 10.04 LTS is right for basic users. ? | 21:30 |
| vinux | yup | 21:30 |
| Gajzha | dw, i didnt install over the ubuntu partition | 21:30 |
| Sir_Konrad | vinux, are you installing GRUB onto the MBR? | 21:30 |
| ahmedkotb | magicianlord, why now* not before ??? | 21:30 |
| Sir_Konrad | JeopardySholdenK, 10.10 is great for basic users... :-\ | 21:30 |
| dw- | Gajzha: nice | 21:30 |
| vinux | ya tried repairing........it works.........bt again | 21:31 |
| vinux | if i boot win 7 | 21:31 |
| Gajzha | dw, can i use grub 2 disk on USB stick? | 21:31 |
| vinux | grub lost | 21:31 |
| dw- | Gajzha: only thing is, i just use the disc now to boot and cant help with reinstalling grub for dual boot lol. for windows i just remove the disc | 21:31 |
| dw- | Gajzha: im sure you can | 21:31 |
| Sir_Konrad | vinux, so it displays the GRUB loader once and is fine until you boot 7. | 21:31 |
| Sir_Konrad | Correct? | 21:31 |
| JeopardySholdenK | Sir_Konrad they say that Maverick is for advanced users... :) ?:| | 21:31 |
| a7i3n | I've been having issues with Brassero crashing when copying a CD to an image file. | 21:32 |

| vinux | ya dats right | 21:32 |
| a7i3n | Anyone else experience this? | 21:32 |
| Gajzha | dw, alright, thanks | 21:32 |
| Sir_Konrad | JeopardySholdenK, hmm... I've never heard that before. 11.04 Alpha is for advanced users. :P | 21:32 |
| Sir_Konrad | vinux, ok. Please give me a minute as I research your problem. | 21:32 |

| yeats | a7i3n: have you run it from the command line? That should give you some feeback to go on | 21:32 |
| vinux | k | 21:32 |
| intick | shcherbak: realy crazy .. all i want is to start my shorcut as root .. somthing like Runas under windowws | 21:33 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: 'gksudo servicename' or whatever from a script should work, (it will ask for the root password) | 21:33 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: clarify what it is exactly you are trying to accomplish | 21:33 |
| shcherbak | intick: ok, can you start root gnome-terminal from shortcut? | 21:33 |
| a7i3n | Yes I have but the crash output is odd... hold on I'll try it and be back... | 21:33 |
| magicianlord | systematical: newegg.com | 21:34 |
| Sir_Konrad | vinux, have you tried holding down shift on boot? | 21:34 |
| Sir_Konrad | That would display the menu. | 21:34 |

| vinux | ya | 21:34 |
| SuNotisima | what do if grub doesnt timeout? | 21:34 |

| magicianlord | or 9.10 | 21:40 |
| vinux | why awk script file not working?? | 21:40 |

Here is the problem: my system frozen while updating Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the Ubunt updater and couldn't restart Ubuntu at all (I have dual boot with XP SP3). So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I... | 22:11 |
| Gajzha | ...restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD or SuperGrub2disk. How can I repair the boot menu? | 22:11 |

| drew_ | SeaPhor, thank you i have alot of reading to do here | 22:56 |
| VCoolio | tvbuntu: not possible; you could write an alias using zenity, would work the same | 22:57 |
| SeaPhor | drew_, aptitude search catalyst | 22:57 |
| tvbuntu | i wnned something with as fewer cliclks as posibble | 22:58 |
| VCoolio | tvbuntu: in ~/.bashrc: alias blah='`zenity --file-selection`' then in terminal 'vlc blah' and find your file | 22:58 |

| sinan_aykut | JeopardySholdenK, i have got both windows 7 and ubuntu, and when i restart windows and go back to ubuntu, the sound is off. to run it again, i have to make a hard reset :P | 23:00 |
| _Sketch_ | My backlight worked in Ubuntu 10.04, given the options in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor". Now, that same 'nomodeset' makes Ubuntu 10.10 unable to set the video mode on bootup and thus it fails on bootup before it can even get to GDM. I'd like my backlight controls...but where do I even start? | 23:00 |
| sinan_aykut | JeopardySholdenK, or not opening windows :P | 23:00 |
| xangua | CHiLLZ: ubuntu-desktop | 23:00 |

| pr0ph3t | VCoolio: hey mate I put in the quite optioninstead of splash and managed to boot, but when I got to the login screen it froze. I tried to go on to a different console pressing ctrl+Fx but nothing happened had to hard reboot. Any Ideas why? | 23:47 |
| vex_ | LOL, looking for "Hardware controllers"... Can't find it. :/ I'm trying not to make this harder then it probably is... | 23:47 |
| VCoolio | pr0ph3t: did you add text too? if i recall correctly that prevents login screen and boots to console; or leave out quiet and read the output | 23:49 |
