| knoppix | zvacet, by shrinking sda2 | 00:00 |
| Darael | BernardV: I'll try the driver tomorrow, I'm off to bed. Thanks for your help. | 00:00 |
| Valkyrie | I have a HUGE issue. | 00:01 |
| zvacet | knoppix : did you tried reinstall grub following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD | 00:01 |
| knoppix | zvacet, sudo update-grub is all i did | 00:01 |
| Valkyrie | So, like.. How do you manually eject a disk drive? I got something stuck in it that belongs to me. | 00:01 |
| knoppix | zvacet, and it did not work | 00:01 |
| zvacet | knoppix: you will not fix bootloader by shrinking partition | 00:01 |
| knoppix | zvacet, i know just tired of using knoppix | 00:02 |
| Fuuko | Valkyrie: Did you try "eject cdrom" | 00:02 |
| Fuuko | from terminal | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Valkyrie: sudo eject /dev/diskname | 00:02 |
| Fuuko | or was it cdrom0 | 00:02 |
| Valkyrie | I did! It made a whirring sound, and felt like something was pinching. | 00:03 |
| Valkyrie | But it didn't eject. | 00:03 |
| Valkyrie | =/ | 00:03 |
| Fuuko | Hm, that doesn't sound healthy. | 00:03 |
| zvacet | knoppix:do you have ubuntu live cd sudo update -grub is last command read link I posted to you | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Valkyrie: you can grab a paperclip and jam it in the eject hole and it will come out | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Valkyrie: sounds like the disk is jammed | 00:03 |
| * andrew[andrboot] gives Valkyrie a cookie | 00:03 | |
| p3rror | hello | 00:04 |
| Valkyrie | What if I were to pry it open? Do you think it'll cause health problems later on? | 00:04 |
| Fuuko | Good evening. | 00:04 |
| p3rror | is there any tutorial on how to set a hotspot ? | 00:04 |
| knoppix | zvacet, yea i have the install cd for 10.04 | 00:04 |
| Fuuko | p3rror: If your wireless device is plugged in | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | p3rror: do you mean a wireless access point? | 00:05 |
| Fuuko | Ubuntu can set one up for you | 00:05 |
| p3rror | how that ? | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics | p3rror | 00:05 |
| ubottu | p3rror: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 00:05 |
| toolboc | Problem solved - Completely removed all Samba related packages, reinstalled nautilus-share (This removed shares that are unwanted, God knows where they are stored), then edit /etc/samba/smf.conf to use security = share NOT security = user. For the record, I would assume Ubuntu no longer out the box supports anonymous sharing. Although, the option is present in the nautilus-share GUI, you will quickly see it is not anonymous | 00:05 |
| toolboc | until the smb.conf settings are changed FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU | 00:05 |
| zvacet | knoppix: so did you tried to reinstall grub fron live cd as described in link | 00:05 |
| Valkyrie | Do you think if I pry the disk slot open it'll cause me health problems later on? | 00:06 |
| Fuuko | Now, does anyone know how the latest release of Virtualbox (dl'ed from the website) can be installed on a 10.04/32bit host? | 00:06 |
| p3rror | thanks | 00:06 |
| Valkyrie | I live in America, you have to amputate an arm to get cough medicine here. | 00:06 |
| Fuuko | It's complaining about a dependency. Research on the issue is returning no feasible solution. | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: i always setup smbpasswd to make accounts, anonymous filesharing is scary | 00:06 |
| pinghu | anyone here who have a link to a good guide for setting up an IRC server, im lost! | 00:06 |
| Fuuko | pinghu: What ircd package | 00:07 |
| knoppix | zvacet, no | 00:07 |
| toolboc | ActionParsnip: I would love to do the same, but XBMC running on my modified xboxes around the house, does not support it | 00:07 |
| toolboc | its all on LAN anyway | 00:07 |
| pinghu | Fuuko: Hybrid | 00:07 |
| Fuuko | One moment | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | pinghu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: thats pretty poor | 00:07 |
| Fuuko | pinghu: in the hybrid package, is there not a README file | 00:08 |
| twitch | Fuuko: why dont you install virtualbox from synaptic? | 00:08 |
| Fuuko | Because that version does not have USB support | 00:08 |
| zvacet | knoppix: try it it works for me every time | 00:08 |
| pinghu | Fuuko: i downloaded it trough synaptics so i have no idea :/ | 00:09 |
| Fuuko | Oh | 00:09 |
| toolboc | ActionParsnip: Believe me, when you saw the beauty of remote waking a seedbox in your closet so you can watch a library of movies anywhere in the house its quite a rich experience | 00:09 |
| Fuuko | pinghu: "wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ircd-hybrid/ircd-hybrid/ircd-hybrid-7.2.3/ircd-hybrid-7.2.3.tgz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ircd-hybrid.org%2Fdownloads.html&ts=1292803769&use_mirror=softlayer" | 00:09 |
| Fuuko | then tar -xvf ircd-hybrid* | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: my cpu clocks itself to near 200Mhz while its idle so it being off isnt really beneficial, plus it works the drive less | 00:10 |
| Fuuko | Just look in there for a README file and an INSTALL file | 00:10 |
| knoppix | zvacet, the problem is i dont know what happened or where it is | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: if you want beauty. Grab an android phone and install transmission. give the android phone the server settings and click on a torrent link on your phone ;) | 00:10 |
| zvacet | knoppix : where it is what please be more descriptive | 00:11 |
| samberoony | Hi | 00:12 |
| toolboc | ActionParsnip: I have already done that | 00:12 |
| samberoony | Anyone talking? | 00:12 |
| toolboc | ActionParsnip: About 3 years ago, have you tried Android 4 iphone? | 00:13 |
| pinghu | What IRC client is the best one in your opinion? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: i dont use any garbage which apple churn out | 00:13 |
| samberoony | Can sum1 help me | 00:13 |
| Valkyrie | Alright, I have an actual question.. | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | samberoony: ask away, and you'll see | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: andftp can access sftp too :) | 00:13 |
| Valkyrie | Why is it that when I run emerge, it tells me that there's no command found. | 00:14 |
| Valkyrie | Is there a problem with my installation? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Valkyrie: gentoo uisn't supported here | 00:14 |
| bonixavier | Valkyrie: yes. it's not gentoo | 00:14 |
| andrew[andrboot] | rofl | 00:14 |
| samberoony | I dual booted my pc with Linux, and my hard drive corrupted, but Linux survived, how can I access my windows files through Linux? | 00:14 |
| zvacet | Valkyrie: ubuntu doesn´t use emerge | 00:14 |
| Valkyrie | What does uboontu use? | 00:14 |
| toolboc | ActionParsnip: Agreed Apple is pretty ghey, but its all built on unix albeit lobotomized and horribly proprietary | 00:14 |
| knoppix | zvacet, what command do i type in to find out if i have a dual boot system | 00:14 |
| Valkyrie | I tried pacman -Syu too | 00:14 |
| Valkyrie | It said no command found | 00:15 |
| Valkyrie | I even tried yum! | 00:15 |
| bonixavier | Valkyrie: try installpkg. It might work | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | samberoony: mount the ntfs partition in ubuntu and access the files. Why do you not have a good backup? | 00:15 |
| Valkyrie | bonixavier, Thank you, lemme try that | 00:15 |
| zvacet | knoppix : sudo fdisk -a | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: its not that, their stuff is overpriced and underspecced | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | toolboc: heavily | 00:15 |
| Valkyrie | bonixavier, It told me that I need to specify a package | 00:15 |
| Valkyrie | What package should I use? | 00:15 |
| bonixavier | Valkyrie: say dd if=/dev/zero of /dev/sda1. It will make a bunny appear on your screen | 00:16 |
| guilhermec | My Hdd is broken and i am using ubuntu via live-cd, however, Id like to ask if it is there a way to save the changes for example with a pendrive? | 00:16 |
| samberoony | Thanks, my back up is about a month out of date, I forgot to back a load of new stuff up. I'll be back soon to say if it worked or not, thanks | 00:16 |
| zvacet | Valkyrie : ubuntu use apt see man apt-get in terminal | 00:16 |
| Valkyrie | bonixavier, Is that an easter egg? | 00:16 |
| Valkyrie | Lemme try it | 00:16 |
| Valkyrie | zvacet, I will after I do what bonixavier asked | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | guilhermec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:17 |
| guilhermec | thx, i'll check it | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | guilhermec: If the flash drive is large enough I would just do a regular install to it from the LiveCD. | 00:18 |
| toolboc | ActionParsnip: It's been nice measuring e-peeners with you but I'm going to go get busy on some python, have a good one | 00:19 |

| zvacet | knoppix install grub on sda5 | 00:20 |
| Fuuko | How do I turn off power management for my wireless device | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | knoppix: zvacet: You should almost never install grub to a partition rather than the mbr. | 00:21 |
| guilhermec | but my pc bios doesn't allow to boot ubuntu from the flashdrive, just from cd, wich is what i am doing now | 00:21 |
| milko | I can't mount the cdrom--- | 00:22 |
| milko | I'm doing: | 00:22 |
| Braber01 | I need the Command on how to Burn an *.iso to a cd again? this time i'm putting it into a txt file... | 00:22 |
| milko | sudo mount cdrom | 00:22 |
| zvacet | Jordan_U : you are right but he must say witch partition he will mount to install grub | 00:22 |
| milko | and response "/dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab can't be found" | 00:23 |
| Braber01 | Can I get the command to burn an iso to a cdrom? | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | milko: you may need to add an entry for the cd in /etc/fstab | 00:23 |
| White-Horse | thanks guys have a good night / day, Thanks again for all the time yous put in here | 00:23 |
| knoppix | jordan_u, what do you mean, i would like to reinstall grub from a live cd. where should i install? | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | knoppix: To /dev/sda. You need to do some preparation before you can run grub-install though, follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 00:25 |
| Blue_Hat | I just wanted to say this: Windows 7 Starter edition does not allow you to change the desktop background - thats a laugh, and why is everyone shelling out big bucks for a useless os like Windows? | 00:25 |
| bonixavier | Braber01: something like growisofs -speed=2 <filename> -Z /dev/cdrom | 00:26 |
| klowny | im pretty sure anyone with a technological inclination doesnt buy windows OS. they just "obtain" them. | 00:26 |
| narayan44 | haha | 00:26 |
| root_time | agree | 00:26 |
| narayan44 | or we just run linux :P | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | milko: add: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 to your fstab file, you can then run: sudo mount /media/cdrom0 | 00:27 |
| klowny | i use windows for gaming and linux for my laptop. im totally content. | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | milko: you will need to make /media/cdrom0 to mount to | 00:27 |
| milko | ActionParsnip, ok, thx :) | 00:27 |
| root_time | i had to destroy Windows this afternoon | 00:27 |

| maxyjj | hi all | 00:28 |
| Caelum | windows is somewhat better than ubuntu in this respect | 00:28 |
| === ekx_ is now known as ekx | ||
| root_time | maxyjj: Hi | 00:28 |
| root_time | Caelum: What! | 00:28 |
| klowny | well both OS have their downsides. | 00:29 |
| root_time | maxyjj: How can I help you? | 00:29 |
| zvacet | knoppix: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt | 00:29 |
| Braber01 | how can I burn an Iso to a CD? | 00:29 |
| zvacet | knoppix: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda | 00:29 |
| maxyjj | root_time: i have a samll problem with my build in camera its not working on skype | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | zvacet: Do *not* run that command. | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | knoppix: Do *not* run that command. | 00:30 |
| milko | ActionParsnip, I did it, and mount: no media found in /dev/sr0 | 00:30 |
| Jordan_U | zvacet: Knoppix has grub legacy, he needs to install grub2. | 00:30 |
| zvacet | Jordan_U : why not? | 00:30 |
| bonixavier | Braber01: you had left, but you can use a command like growisofs -speed=2 <filename> -Z /dev/cdrom to burn a file to a cd. Or use brasero | 00:30 |
| root_time | maxyjj: Does your camera works fine in other applications? | 00:30 |
| maxyjj | root_time: i know itroot_time: its a v4l | 00:30 |
| zvacet | Jordan_U : if he rund lucid then he have to reinstall grub2 | 00:31 |
| maxyjj | root_time: yes it works perfect with cheez and others | 00:31 |
| zvacet | *runs | 00:31 |
| knoppix | jordan_u, i have 10.04 on the hd and xp sp2 | 00:31 |
| knoppix | jordan_u i am reading what u sent me | 00:31 |

| zvacet | *and | 00:32 |
| klowny | lol i dl and install 10.10 and it my wireless doesnt work. i download and install 10.04 and it does. how could 10.10 have subtracted a driver or firmware? | 00:32 |
| syomo | man-pages dont work anymore: say i want to "man ls" it says "Manual page ls(1) line ?/? (END)". just this line. any idea? | 00:32 |
| maxyjj | root:time: i did many time and still the same | 00:32 |
| Braber01 | bonixavier: i got /dev/cdrom is not reconized as Recordable dvd when i ran your command. | 00:32 |
| maxyjj | is there a | 00:33 |
| bonixavier | Braber01: try /dev/sr0 (it's a zero) | 00:33 |
| bonixavier | instead | 00:33 |
| root_time | klowny: I'm not happy to say this but, Ubuntu 10.10 is still young and it has a lot of bugs, unfortunately Canonical is not working so hard. | 00:33 |
| tortoise | alright, I'm having some trouble installing an rpm.bin file. I'm going by these (http://java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#rpm) instructions, but every time I try to execute the file it gives me 'rpm: please use alien to install rpm packages on Debian, if you are really sure use --force-debian switch' | 00:33 |
| Pici | tortoise: There are java packages in the repositories. | 00:34 |
| tortoise | Pici: what does that mean? | 00:34 |
| Pici | tortoise: It means that for the supported method of installing Java, you should use the packages provided by and packged for Ubuntu., | 00:34 |
| root_time | maxyjj: Ok, so check in Skype video setup | 00:34 |
| Pici | !java | 00:34 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 00:34 |
| Pici | !parter | 00:34 |
| noonian | tortoise, you are trying to install a package meant for redhat linux distributions. Ubuntu uses .deb packages | 00:35 |
| Pici | !partner | 00:35 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 00:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | I'm experiencing a joystick issue with 10.10 on two 10.10 installs on the same machine, but problem doesn't exist on 10.04. The joystick works, but is slow and laggy in response - even cating the dev device shows this slow response. My google-foo has failed, as has my Launchpad search for a related bug. | 00:35 |
| tortoise | noonian: so how can I get this package installed? | 00:35 |
| Braber01 | thank you any way i just used the GUI. | 00:35 |
| maxyjj | root_time: its blank nothing in the video | 00:35 |
| narayan44 | ubuntu software center, search for "java" ?? | 00:36 |
| tortoise | narayan44: nothing | 00:36 |
| root_time | maxyjj: is the camera in blank? | 00:36 |
| Pici | tortoise: Enable the partner repositories as ubottu describe above first. | 00:36 |
| narayan44 | make sure you have partners and non-free software set in the setup | 00:36 |
| noonian | tortoise, type into a terminal and hit enter: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:36 |
| maxyjj | yap | 00:36 |
| narayan44 | edit -> software sources | 00:37 |
| noonian | tortoise, equivalently you could find it using the ubuntu software center gui | 00:37 |
| Pici | tortoise: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 00:37 |
| tortoise | nvm....apparently this package is already installed, because the applet that I was installing it for is working.. | 00:37 |
| tarkaram | I accidentally deleted a partition on my USB harddrive, are there tools to recover the data | 00:37 |
| Pici | tortoise: Yes, the open source java alternative is installed by default iirc. | 00:37 |
| root_time | maxyjj: I found this site. Maybe this sis gonna be helpful, but is in spanish, use google translate. | 00:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | tarkaram, if i where you i'd check out the testdisk program for partition recovery (never had to use it myself, best of luck) | 00:38 |
| maxyjj | ok | 00:39 |
| tarkaram | ZykoticK9: Thanks. | 00:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | tarkaram, photorec for files, made by the same people ;) | 00:39 |
| maxyjj | root_time: yes np :) | 00:39 |
| hum | does anyone know how to setup my computer to access it over the internet | 00:39 |
| tr1pl3x | use ssh | 00:40 |
| tarkaram | hum: ssh + vnc | 00:40 |
| jeff_ | hello | 00:40 |
| noonian | hum, ssh is the easiest way but is most useful for just a command line interface | 00:40 |
| tr1pl3x | yuspz | 00:40 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest59783 | ||
| tr1pl3x | maybe you can also use metasploit | 00:40 |
| tr1pl3x | lol | 00:40 |
| root_time | jeff_: Hi, What do you need? | 00:40 |
| Guest59783 | this is one weird chat room | 00:40 |
| yigal | Does anyone know if there's a way to implement "smoothish" scrolling on a single touch device? | 00:41 |
| hum | ssh + vnc wut does that stand for | 00:41 |
| Guest59783 | well i have a question | 00:41 |
| Pici | Guest59783: This is a support channel. | 00:41 |
| AegNuddel | Is there any way to get the .deb files from what is in the software center? | 00:41 |
| root_time | maxyjj: yes np? what does it mean? :) | 00:41 |
| yigal | ssh == secure shell | 00:41 |
| tr1pl3x | why weird?? | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | hum: vnc has zero security so using an ssh tunnel will make it security | 00:41 |
| yigal | vnc == virtual network computing | 00:41 |
| shcherbak | AegNuddel: check apt cache for .deb | 00:42 |
| Guest59783 | why isnt my laptop turning back on when it hibernates | 00:42 |
| maxyjj | root_time: you said you found a site i well translate it i said yes np | 00:42 |
| yigal | Guest59783: there can be many reasons | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | AegNuddel: sure, you can tell apt-get to only download the deb, it will be in /var/cache/apt/archives | 00:42 |
| root_time | maxyjj: Oh! Ok | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: what make / model | 00:42 |
| Guest59783 | brad new | 00:42 |
| yigal | Guest59783: that's not answering the question | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: age is moot | 00:43 |
| AegNuddel | thanks...I have to figure how to transfer a program to a cmputer that is being troublesome with its wireless | 00:43 |
| yigal | Guest59783: What type of machine make etc. | 00:43 |
| Guest59783 | help please | 00:43 |
| yigal | Guest59783: What parts are in it, these are the questions you will have to try and find. | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: i asked you a question, if you reply I may be able to help | 00:43 |
| industry__ | Guest59783: Answer the questions and someone might help you. | 00:43 |
| maxyjj | root_time: the webcam drivers is v4l1 | 00:44 |
| Guest59783 | toshiba net book with windows seven and a intel atom i dont really know | 00:44 |
| Guest59783 | anything else | 00:44 |
| yigal | Guest59783: good that's a start | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: what model | 00:44 |
| KM0201 | Guest59783: what exactly are you tryng to figure out? | 00:45 |
| industry__ | do you know what model Toshiba it is? | 00:45 |
| Guest59783 | nb 305 | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: toshiba make hundreds of different laptops | 00:45 |
| industry__ | KM0201: why his laptop doesn't resume from suspend | 00:45 |
| KM0201 | ah ok.. missed that | 00:45 |
| root_time | industry: maybe he has configured to shutdown the hardisks after some defined time. | 00:45 |
| AegNuddel | had them already from installing here | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: so your first question should have been: Hi I have a Toshiba NB305 won't wake up from hibernate, can anyone help | 00:46 |
| root_time | industry: I had the same problem. | 00:46 |
| Dmstrdj | my hp 1110 netbook will not either, Im interested in the answer | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: if you provide tonns of info on the first question it reduces the need for us to ask for simple details like we just did | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/508516 | 00:46 |
| Guest59783 | thank | 00:47 |
| Guest59783 | you | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest59783: #87 looks good but I suggest you read the whole flow | 00:47 |
| yigal | GMA3150 Ahh | 00:48 |
| industry__ | ActionParsnip: it looks like a modesetting issue. Maybe he should just turn off modesetting. | 00:48 |
| industry__ | per #34 in that bug | 00:49 |
| Richkok | Hi all, is it possible to run ASP.Net website on ubuntu server? | 00:49 |
| root_time | Just check out the Power Settings for your system. | 00:49 |
| industry__ | although that seems to produce mixed results | 00:49 |
| itaylor57 | everytime I think I have my irssi right, netsplit LOL | 00:50 |
| yigal | ya "nohz=off highres=off" in grub appear to work | 00:50 |
| industry__ | he might also want to try nomodeset | 00:51 |
| yigal | Ok I'll repeat my question it's been a while. | 00:51 |
| yigal | Does anyone know if there's a way to implement "smoothish" scrolling on a single touch device? | 00:51 |
| yigal | by gestures that is | 00:51 |
| velko | Richkok, both asp and .net are ms technologies. i guess it's not possible to do it outside of a ms environment | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | industry__: user left dude, my systems all run perfectly :) | 00:52 |
| kdas | does anyone know what classifies a application as "technical" in the software center and how can we hide programs like p7zip from there? | 00:52 |
| AegNuddel | I'm glad that the nick HarryGuerilla is not actually what I read it as at first | 00:53 |
| root_time | May you recommend me some program for video editing in Ubuntu 9.10? | 00:53 |
| AegNuddel | root_time, OenShot | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | root_time: kino, pitivi are 2 i can think of quickly | 00:53 |
| AegNuddel | root_time, OpenShot | 00:54 |
| velko | kdas, software center uses the same tags and technology like axi-cache. maybe the tags used are what you are looking for. bug how to hide stuff... | 00:54 |
| root_time | Ok, Thanks. | 00:54 |
| klowny | has anyone here tried backtrack? | 00:54 |
| berefeira | klowny: yea | 00:55 |
| itaylor57 | !backtrack | klowny | 00:55 |
| ubottu | klowny: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 00:55 |
| klowny | have to say their support is the worst i have ever seen. | 00:55 |
| root_time | Does anyone here got the Agent? | 00:55 |
| tr1pl3x | can anyone help me on how to change my login in theme, i already used ubuntu tweak to customized my login screen, but i really prefer to use the one thats from gnome-art but idont know how. :( | 00:56 |
| root_time | Aarrgghh! I hate Microsoft! | 00:56 |
| tr1pl3x | can anyone help me on how to change my login theme, i already used ubuntu tweak to customized my login screen, but i really prefer to use the one thats from gnome-art but idont know how. :( | 00:56 |
| klowny | why root? | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tr1pl3x: you cna change the wallpaper and the loginbox colour | 00:56 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as krabador | ||
| tr1pl3x | yes i already did that | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tr1pl3x: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 | 00:57 |
| tr1pl3x | ok tnx | 00:57 |
| root_time | klowny: Because they're a faceless, and cruel empire. | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tr1pl3x: thats all you can change currently, and it doesnt need some 3rd party hack | 00:57 |
| industry__ | root_time: it's a company | 00:58 |
| timposey | I have a regular ubuntu 10.04 machine and I have installed the apache server from the software center, the webpage works, now I am trying to access the server remotely to upload files, I am completely new to this, can anyone give any guidance on how to connect, I have tried everything I know. | 00:58 |
| industry__ | it makes software | 00:58 |
| bsmith093 | is there a VIDEO tag editor for ubuntu? to change the filename to the title field? | 00:58 |
| shamster | timposey: Have you tried scp for file transfer? | 00:59 |
| shamster | timposey: that's pretty standard | 00:59 |
| industry__ | timposey: does your server have ssh? if so, then you can use scp/sftp to upload files | 00:59 |
| jdevel | can anyone answer what I believe should be a pretty easy question? I'm writing a simple startup script.. do I need to include an & at the end of the line to make it run in the background? or will it automatically go to the background being it's running from the rc.local startup? | 01:00 |
| Kerrick | !mint | 01:00 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 01:00 |
| industry__ | jdevel: no & needed | 01:00 |
| jdevel | great | 01:01 |
| jdevel | much appreciated | 01:01 |
| noonian | jdevel, basically whoever calls the script needs an & | 01:01 |
| shamster | jdevel: the & is only needed to make things run in the background. Because it's a startup script it doesn't run in the current shell - it runs as a process under a different level. | 01:01 |
| shamster | jdevel: So you don't need the & because it doesn't run in your shell | 01:02 |
| jdevel | all very appreciated | 01:02 |
| industry__ | jdevel, most scripts that run out of the startup scripts are daemons, though, so i wouldn't put a program in there that runs forever | 01:02 |
| timposey | industry__, I don't know, I have tried to enter through port 8443 like my other linux server | 01:02 |
| jdevel | it is a daemon | 01:02 |
| jdevel | vsftpd | 01:02 |
| === systemg33k- is now known as systemg33k | ||
| jdevel | i just want to launch a few instances with alternate configs | 01:02 |
| industry__ | then in that case absolutely no &'s necessary | 01:02 |
| industry__ | timposey: do you use ssh for the other server? what do you mean, "enter through port 8443"? | 01:03 |
| jdevel | how about a C app I wrote that is daemonized | 01:03 |
| industry__ | jdevel, sure, that works too | 01:03 |
| jdevel | doesn't really follow the rules of a typical daemon.. | 01:03 |
| industry__ | so long as it doesn't hog the terminal (even if it does, probably) you're fine | 01:04 |
| jdevel | pretty much an infinite loop that pauses at an interval then runs it's processes | 01:04 |
| timposey | shamster, I have tried gftp through ssh but not connecting | 01:04 |
| jdevel | thanks to all whom answered | 01:04 |
| shamster | timposey, is the server running as an ssh server as well? | 01:04 |
| industry__ | timposey: how do you normally administer the server? through local access? | 01:04 |
| hIchamAT | i d'ont know why grep don't match this expression : #grep (july|jul) test | 01:05 |
| industry__ | if it has an ssh server and you administer it through ssh then it has ssh running | 01:05 |
| shamster | timposey: If you have ssh set up on the server side, then you can connect with ssh/scp. | 01:05 |
| jdevel | in the chat, how do I call out to someone? the highlighted answers.. something like @<user name> ? | 01:05 |
| timposey | industry__ sorry my mind is not working... my other server uses plesk and that is where the port 8443 comes in, I have also tried regular ssh | 01:05 |
| shamster | timposey: Otherwise, ftp doesn't run through ssh... it runs through an ftp server | 01:05 |
| jdevel | @jdevel | 01:06 |
| industry__ | don't know much about plesk -- can you enable the openssh server from it? | 01:06 |
| GaryD | jdevel: GaryD: | 01:06 |
| shamster | jdevel: most irc clients will highlite for you if you just start the msg with the name and maybe a comma or colon | 01:06 |
| timposey | shamster, I will have check tomorrow when I can get back into the computer | 01:06 |
| jdevel | shamster, thank you | 01:07 |
| industry__ | jdevel: the highlighting thing is something that clients do, it's just a prefixing thing for convienience | 01:07 |
| jdevel | industry__: yes, I wanted to extend the same when responding | 01:07 |
| shamster | timposey: If you try to scp to the server and it doesn't work, then chances are you don't have it up and running. Otherwise it's an issue with denying access to the outside world (i.e. the /etc/hosts.allow file...) | 01:07 |
| ryno1 | What to I type to find what ports are in use? | 01:07 |
| industry__ | timposey: when you get a chance to i highly suggest doing "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" from your server so that you have sshd running -- it is the swiss army chainsaw of encrypted communications | 01:08 |
| jdevel | I'm just using XChat to connect.. used to use mIRC but it seems they are charging now. | 01:08 |
| itaylor57 | netstat -a | 01:08 |
| guampa | hello fellas | 01:08 |
| shamster | ryno1: netstat -a | 01:09 |
| guampa | any if you have prefs over a "terminal" (rs-232) program in ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| itaylor57 | ij got one right :>) | 01:09 |
| shamster | guampa: telnet | 01:09 |
| root_time | Telnet? In Ubuntu? Wow! | 01:10 |
| shamster | itaylor57: fancy that! You can also just plug in a sniffer that does some other things, too. | 01:10 |
| ryno1 | shamster: Thank you | 01:10 |
| guampa | shamster: has ymodem or kermit? | 01:10 |
| Gord1 | Good evening folks | 01:11 |
| itaylor57 | shamster: could do that is solaris, new to ubuntu | 01:11 |
| shamster | guampa: you can get all those, but if it's rs232 then the stream can get parsed by a telnet client that gets set up right. You just have to make sure of the protocal | 01:11 |
| shamster | s/cal/col/ | 01:11 |
| Gord1 | i am new to eeebuntu and need some help | 01:11 |
| guampa | shamster: ok i'll lookup on that, thx | 01:12 |
| shamster | itaylor57: there are plenty of alternatives that are open source in ubuntu, and some that come already packaged with the std desktop installs | 01:12 |
| Gord1 | how does one enable memory card readers on the acer aspire one | 01:13 |
| root_time | Gord1: Sure go ahead | 01:13 |
| Richkok | velko: it is possible but too expensive, http://www.novell.com/products/mono/ around $800 US/year | 01:13 |

| Gump | hey, im having trouble formatting a fat32 drive with gparted. anyone mind taking a look at the output? | 01:18 |
| Gump | http://pastebin.com/tBr3at1C | 01:18 |
| jchase520 | any one know how to display pictures as a slide show but not in full screen mode? | 01:19 |
| GaryD | Gump: maybe you need to unmount the drive first. it seems like that is what it is complaining about. | 01:20 |
| Gump | huh. that would be easy. thanks i'll try that | 01:20 |
| Gump | well...crap. its a usb drive, and there is no option to unmount it. just disconnect it | 01:20 |
| adequa | hey all, im hesitating; f-spot, shotwell, or something else? what's your pick | 01:21 |
| GaryD | Gump: you should be able to unmount it in gparted. | 01:21 |
| Fuuko | [3~/adequa: I liked the default one that comes with 10.10 | 01:21 |
| meway | quentusrex: I now have it installed | 01:22 |
| meway | :P | 01:22 |
| jdevel | anyone know if the rcS.d routine only takes 2 digit numbers for startup sequence? | 01:22 |
| Fuuko | I think 10.10 ships with shotwell | 01:22 |
| adequa | Fuuko, with 1010, thats shotwell | 01:22 |
| Fuuko | Yeah. I liked the ease of importing pictures with that software | 01:22 |
| adequa | Fuuko, yeah, it seems fluid... | 01:22 |
| quentusrex | have what installed now meway ? | 01:22 |
| meway | 10.10 lts | 01:23 |
| quentusrex | why ping me with this info? | 01:23 |
| meway | because you told me to | 01:23 |
| quentusrex | when? | 01:23 |
| Gump | GaryD, i unmounted it and this time i got this "Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sdc have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes." | 01:23 |
| Gump | should i just reboot? is the drive reformatted? | 01:24 |
| GaryD | adequa: i liked f-spot fine before i switched to 10.10. but shotwell is cool too. | 01:24 |
| meway | when my everything else failed earlyer and I was having issues with ICEauthority failure and everything wanted sudo | 01:24 |
| knoppix | garyd, hi | 01:24 |
| GaryD | Gamp: maybe just remove the usb drive? i am not too sure about that. | 01:24 |
| quentusrex | meway, that was not me. | 01:25 |
| GaryD | knoppix: hi | 01:25 |
| adequa | GaryD, thanks for your input, i might go with shotwell. | 01:25 |
| meway | quentusrex: o.o sorry xD | 01:25 |
| quentusrex | it's all good. you just had me confused for a bit. | 01:25 |
| billy | how do i stop Geany putting an icon in the task tray? | 01:26 |

| chaos2358 | KM0201, i started typing on login screen i dunno why it jumped to ubuntu | 01:35 |
| skullboy | so unmount it | 01:35 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, how do i change password | 01:35 |
| Fuuko | Yes, and then rescan devices | 01:35 |
| meway | quentusrex: acually maybe 2 hours now (losing track of time) | 01:35 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: it automatically changes to the active channel... honestly, the best thing to do, is set your ID to auto log in.. | 01:36 |
| skullboy | ok so how do i do that | 01:36 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: i'm really not sure... i'm sure you could sk in #freenode | 01:36 |
| skullboy | ok so how do i do that | 01:36 |
| Fuuko | On your desktop, right click the icon for the mounted windows 7 partition | 01:36 |
| Fuuko | and click unmount | 01:36 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: it is kind funny, but it happens a lot if you just pay attention..lol | 01:36 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: but.. chaos is cool, so i'm sorry it happened to him. | 01:36 |
| skullboy | i know that how do i rescan | 01:36 |

| KM0201 | chaos2358: well thats good. | 01:37 |
| skullboy | i know that how do i rescan | 01:37 |
| Fuuko | To rescan, there should be an icon on the toolbar | 01:37 |
| Gump | so lsusb -h? | 01:37 |
| Fuuko | Otherwise, just quit and relaunch gparted | 01:37 |

| narayan44 | haha I think I finnally got this working | 01:46 |
| Gump | GaryD, just removed it | 01:46 |
| Gump | is a reboot in order? | 01:46 |
| Gump | i rebooted the disk | 01:46 |
| GaryD | Gump: i am not sure...you may want to reboot....unless you reformatted your hard drive....in which case you will be in trouble. | 01:47 |
| Gump | no it was an external drive i formatted | 01:48 |
| Gump | i give up. im gonna try and reformat it from windows | 01:48 |
| GaryD | Gump: i have never had any problem with gparted....but windows will definitely reformat a fat32 drive. | 01:48 |
| KM0201 | GaryD: whats wrong, won't format as NTFS? | 01:49 |
| Gump | my concern is that it isnt fat32 any more. its not showing up at all now | 01:49 |
| Gump | i tried to format it as ntfs and it returned a bunch of errors | 01:49 |
| tim____ | heyy guys where can i report bugs for the 11.04 alpha 1 release | 01:49 |
| KM0201 | tim__: ubuntu+1 | 01:49 |
| GaryD | KM0201: Gump wanted to reformat a ntfs drive with gparted, but after replugging the drive his system won't read that it even exists. | 01:49 |
| KM0201 | hmm. | 01:50 |
| Jordan_U | Gump: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"? | 01:50 |

| share | hello | 01:51 |
| Gump | dev/sdc is the drive i was trying to format | 01:51 |
| Gump | its gone | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | Gump: If you "ejected" it from the file manager you need to remove it and plug it back in. | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Gump: if you read through: dmesg | less it may show whats going on | 01:52 |
| GaryD | Gump: try unplugging and replugging again. | 01:53 |
| Gump | already did | 01:53 |

| Gump | lol true | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Gump: the device is detected which is good, the kernel is reacting | 01:57 |
| GaryD | Gump: is it showing up now? it is listed. | 01:58 |
| Gump | ActionParsnip, that's reassuring. but no, its not showing up | 01:58 |
| GaryD | try mounting it manually.....maybe? | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Gump: if you run: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc can you list the partition table, you can always partition it there too ;) | 01:59 |
| PeterFabinski | hi | 01:59 |
| GaryD | hi | 01:59 |
| PeterFabinski | garyd hi | 01:59 |
| jrb2971 | hi, anyone have issues with gnome_panel taking up tons of memory? | 02:00 |
| PeterFabinski | how do i shut down in terminal | 02:01 |
| jrb2971 | i keep having to kill that PID, it gets to 1G of memory | 02:01 |
| jrb2971 | sudo shutdown now | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | PeterFabinski: sudo shutdown -h now | 02:01 |
| GaryD | jrb2971: always problems with gnome * taking up tons of memory.... | 02:01 |
| jrb2971 | ya, i think gnome_panel has a memory leak | 02:02 |
| Gump | sudo fdisk /dev/sdc retured "WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to | 02:02 |

| Gump | lol | 02:02 |
| KM0201 | is using a pastebin that difficult? | 02:03 |
| D3ath101 | ok, so i just registered this nickname, how do i go about identifying it? | 02:03 |
| jrb2971 | gary_d: can i easily switch to a better front end? i thought gnome was one of the best, really this is on a "server" - but i didn't use ubuntu server, more of ubuntu desktop | 02:03 |
| KM0201 | D3ath101: (don't do it in the channel, in case you tpe it wrong, everyone will know your password) | 02:03 |
| KM0201 | D3ath101: but.. "/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password" | 02:03 |
| D3ath101 | ty | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | Gump: Just as a warning, in addition to being annoying if you flood too much you will be automatically disconnected by freenode (idoru will think you're a spammer). | 02:03 |
| KM0201 | D3ath101: it's really best to set your client to log you in automatically | 02:03 |
| Gump | i dunno if i have voice again yet. so 3 lines is considered flooding? | 02:04 |
| KM0201 | Gump: that was a lot more than 3... if in doubt, pastebin.. it doesn't cost anything | 02:04 |
| GaryD | jrb2971: i recommend lxde. | 02:04 |
| Gump | k will do | 02:04 |
| jrb2971 | gardy: thanks I'll look it up | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | GaryD: jrb2971 +1 for lxde | 02:05 |
| jrb2971 | what is everyone else running gnome, lxde, others? | 02:05 |
| Gump | return of p: http://pastebin.com/km1JQz6y | 02:05 |
| KM0201 | jrb2971: gnome... i use openbox on another machine... | 02:05 |
| KM0201 | openbox is very fast/light.. but really not for the novice, as its not very user friendly | 02:05 |
| D3ath101 | it says nickserve :No such nick/channel | 02:05 |
| Docteh_ | take the e off | 02:05 |
| Docteh_ | serv | 02:05 |
| KM0201 | did i put an E on it? | 02:06 |
| KM0201 | woops | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: LXDE under openbox makes life a lot easier | 02:06 |
| pooltable | hi is there a program to limit on printing example print a lot of pager with out asking is there a way to set a password on printing ??? | 02:06 |
| D3ath101 | no, i didnt tye the e | 02:06 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: i imagine. | 02:06 |
| KM0201 | D3ath101: oh.lol | 02:06 |
| KM0201 | D3ath101: well, that should have logged you in, if you're registered. | 02:06 |
| D3ath101 | i typed /msg nickserv IDENTIFY then my password | 02:07 |
| jrb2971 | what are frontends/shells? like gnome, lxde, openbox called? in general? kde is another right? | 02:07 |
| KM0201 | jrb2971: if you think Gnome is heavy... KDE will make Gnome look anorexic. | 02:07 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: lol | 02:08 |
| jrb2971 | KM0201: hehe ! | 02:08 |
| GaryD | jrb2971: i use lxde...but i love gnome's ability to be a super desktop....it is just too heavy for my computer usage. | 02:08 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: jrb2971 it's true...lol | 02:08 |
| Gump | omg...it worked. gparted formatted it this time. 3rd times a charm i guess. thanks for the help #ubuntu | 02:08 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: i know | 02:08 |
| GaryD | KM0201: lmao about that! KDE...lol | 02:08 |
| share | ei | 02:08 |
| D3ath101 | it finally worked | 02:08 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: honestly, if it was KDE or bust w/ Linux.. i'd use windows.. i consider that GUI totally unusable. | 02:08 |
| jrb2971 | ya i think I will try to switch from gnome to lxde or kde.. i'm looking for something easy to use to make my ubuntu desktop like ubuntu server w/o having to reinstall. i'm using virtualbox on it to run like 6 vms | 02:09 |
| KM0201 | thank God for choice | 02:09 |
| panfist | i'm very confused about the state of intel and ati graphics in ubuntu for laptops. what would give a better experience, an ati mobility 4250 or an intel GMA? | 02:09 |
| GaryD | that's right | 02:09 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: but then you could add compiz and make gnome as hungry as kde | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | GaryD: lxde makes your cpu able to run slower so uses less power, great on laptops :) | 02:09 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: true.. | 02:09 |
| panfist | i'm trying to pick between these two laptops but as far as i can see i can't even tell exactly which intel integrated graphics is on the asus here: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2493102 | 02:09 |
| bencahill | hey peeps :), if I copied an existing hdd ubuntu install to a usb drive, would it work? | 02:09 |
| jrb2971 | i'm going to google how to change from gnome to kde or lxde | 02:09 |
| slgma | no need to | 02:09 |
| slgma | you can change it at th elogin screen | 02:09 |
| slgma | once youve installed them | 02:10 |
| bencahill | jrb2971: just install the relevant packages, googling will serve you well :) | 02:10 |
| KM0201 | jrb2971: honestly... if your complaint about GNome is its heavy, just remove KDE from the list, and look at Lxde.. | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jrb2971: install lxde, log off. click username, select lxde at bottom of screen, enter password | 02:10 |
| GaryD | ActionParsnip: true...and i do everything at once on my machine...it's a desktop with 1GB ram....lol...with gnome, i could only have a few things running at once. | 02:10 |
| share | in ubuntu based distro | 02:10 |
| slgma | try xfce | 02:11 |
| share | what can cause system halt | 02:11 |
| jrb2971 | ok trying that now :) maybe i should shut down my vms 1st hehe | 02:11 |
| slgma | jrb2971, | 02:11 |
| KM0201 | i used to really like Xfce.. but i think as time has went on, Xfce has become just as bloated as Gnome, and there's not much advantage to it... if you consider Gnome heavy, skip Xfce, and look at LXDE | 02:11 |
| chaos2358 | does anyone know how i can use empathy to make yahoo voice and video calls? is there a plugin or something/ | 02:11 |
| itaylor57 | lasy time I checked linux uses swap and is not limited by avail ram | 02:11 |
| pooltable | what do you use garyd to run so many programs | 02:11 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: i thought empathy only worked w/ google talk/voice? | 02:12 |
| jrb2971 | i have ubuntu 10.10 on a amd x6 with like 10tb of hd space | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: go go to super light and use flwm ;) | 02:12 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: is that flux?.. i've used it | 02:12 |
| share | what can cause "system halted" after shutdown? | 02:12 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: or cli :) | 02:12 |
| chaos2358 | i dunno. i have my yahoo account linked to it just wondering | 02:12 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: is enlight still around?.. i remember that being a popular "light" GUI.. but ain't heard much about it lately. | 02:12 |
| D3ath101 | im using my laptop, 3 gigs ram, 2ghz cpu dual core, 250 g hdd, and no dedicated graphics....... i miss my beast of a computer | 02:13 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: if necessary, you can install Gyachi.. which is basically the Yahoo client for Linux.. and should fully support audio/video(as long as your hardware is supported | 02:13 |
| jrb2971 | how about a vote on virtualization under ubuntu? vbox, vmware, qemu? | 02:14 |

| cmr215 | my mic is working in the sound recorder application but not for skype, google talk, or anythink else online... icall.,com either | 02:17 |
| gtech | D3ath101: it's probably because the channel list is HUGE, this is freenode | 02:17 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Guest16554 | ||
| GaryD | pooltable: on older computers, i use a minimal install of ubuntu and add the compnents i want...like openbox, lxpanel, lxterminal, and lxsession. if you want to use a display manager, lxdm...but lxdm will probably be replaced with lightdm...however, vbox eats a lot of resources as it is... | 02:17 |

| D3ath101 | how do i create a channel? | 02:20 |

| moocawne | KM0201: excellent, so it's just a colon after the name to direct the message at them! | 02:33 |

| GaryD | knoppix: i have never used knoppix...lol....why not search the knoppix forums??? | 02:36 |
| rvdavid | any insight into the brief discussion RinDolph? | 02:37 |

| rvdavid | since there's no chrome equivalent in the ide world, I'm pretty much stuck with NetBeans | 02:40 |
| rvdavid | lol | 02:40 |
| rvdavid | devtool basically has preference over testing/browsing tool. | 02:40 |
| Quantum_Ion | NetBeans runs on Linux and Windows too | 02:40 |
| xud477 | yes | 02:40 |
| chaospsychex | Vegeta: will it work | 02:41 |
| itaylor57 | Quantum_Ion: and badly on both LOL | 02:41 |
| itaylor57 | i prefer eclipse as an ide | 02:41 |
| Quantum_Ion | itaylor57, Are you saying NetBeans needs a serious graphical make over | 02:41 |
| rvdavid | I switched from eclipse to NetBeans | 02:41 |
| itaylor57 | maybe i should just bite my tongue | 02:42 |
| Quantum_Ion | Eclipse is no match for the Almighty NetBeans | 02:42 |
| rvdavid | nah, I love eclipse. | 02:42 |
| xud477 | i do prefere eclipe but netbeans have more skills | 02:42 |
| xud477 | i use gedit anyway :9 | 02:42 |
| rvdavid | the subversive plugin kicks so much ass. | 02:43 |
| rvdavid | compared to NetBeans svn plugin | 02:43 |
| chaospsychex | IdleOne: I know windows does not provide ISOs. I made a image from my win xp install disc and i am trying to put it on a usb stick. the computer i want to install it on doesnt have a cd drive | 02:43 |
| Quantum_Ion | Eclipse is IBM's work and NetBeans is Oracle | 02:43 |
| rvdavid | but man, all that dependency sh*t just made me want to destroy my laptop. I try to pimp it out, and it just took ages to do anything. | 02:43 |
| xud477 | yep | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | chaospsychex: i'd ask in ##windows how it can be done. I read someplace that unetbootin can do it | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | chaospsychex: ok, but this is an Ubuntu support channel, howto install windows is off topic. | 02:44 |
| * rvdavid idles out * TY for the chat guys ;) | 02:44 | |
| itaylor57 | and I prefer git myself | 02:44 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dependencies are the breaks when it comes to GNU software it is real DIRTY | 02:44 |
| GaryD | i think unetbootin should be able to do it...not sure though... | 02:44 |
| klowny | get windows iso. unetbootin it on a usb done. the game | 02:44 |
| chaospsychex | IdleOne: you are misunderstanding me. I want to create a bootable usb inside ubuntu | 02:44 |
| klowny | chaospsychex then use unetbootin. | 02:45 |
| xud477 | gparted, /etc. | 02:45 |
| GaryD | chaospsychex: unetbootin is available in the repos. | 02:45 |
| gtech | Hi, I just installed TuxOnIce and it seems to hibernate fine but I hang on a purple screen on resume, where do I go from here to fix this? | 02:45 |
| IdleOne | chaospsychex: you are misunderstanding. this channel is for support with Ubuntu issues. How to make a bootable Windows USB is not supported here. try ##windows | 02:45 |
| Quantum_Ion | I hate Dirty Source Code too | 02:45 |
| mr2k | chaospsychex: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html - Tried this? | 02:46 |

| knoppix | actionparsnip, how would i mount a sda1 in knoppix | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | knoppix: knoppix isn't supported here, try in #knoppix | 02:46 |
| klowny | lol thats awesome. having the name "knoppix" and not knowing how to mnt a drive on knoppix | 02:47 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dirty source code is when you untar a GNU package and it fails to compile correctly with many headaches | 02:47 |
| GaryD | hey....is there a way to have a terminal showing the output of all programs ran as my desktop bg? | 02:47 |

| GaryD | or something like that? | 02:48 |
| knoppix | actionparsnip, how would i mount a file system in ubuntu? | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | !mount | 02:48 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 02:48 |
| Quantum_Ion | GaryD, try the top command | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | knoppix: this is ubuntu support, you are obviously using knoppix so you should ask in your distributions channel | 02:49 |
| GaryD | i know you can use electricsheep or a movie or something like that as the bg, but what about an actual non-interactive terminal? | 02:49 |
| itaylor57 | Quantum_Ion: it used to be an art porting unix s/w | 02:49 |
| UnholyTerror | Quantum_Ion, i don't think that's what he wants... | 02:49 |
| GaryD | Quantum_Icon: i am talking about a non-interactive terminal that shows processes as they happen.... | 02:49 |
| gtech | ActionParsnip: Could you point me in a direction? For example a tutorial which shows which logs to look at and what to look for, even general knowledge I should chase to figure this out? | 02:49 |
| Quantum_Ion | itaylor57, Where is Porting Unix software for Dummies ? | 02:50 |
| UnholyTerror | GaryD, like a terminal that just outputs stderr or stdout? | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | gtech: you could look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:50 |
| itaylor57 | Quantum_Ion: oreilly | 02:50 |
| gtech | ActionParsnip: thanks | 02:51 |
| Quantum_Ion | I hate Oreilly books | 02:51 |
| itaylor57 | Quantum_Ion: lol | 02:51 |
| IdleOne | Quantum_Ion: Can you move the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 02:51 |

| jbwiv | can anyone recommend a simple network monitoring tool that will monitor a set of ip addresses' uptimes with ping or icmp? | 02:52 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: um.. hang on.. you have to add a PPA repo | 02:52 |
| GaryD | UnholyTerror: i always thought so... | 02:53 |
| Docteh_ | jbwiv: monitor them how? | 02:53 |
| GaryD | so....can it be done??? | 02:53 |
| UnholyTerror | GaryD, dunno... | 02:53 |
| Docteh_ | just up or down or keep track over time? | 02:53 |
| skullboy | the installer is not seeing your hard drive so you can partition it.. shows its all unallocated | 02:53 |
| jbwiv | Docteh_: just report at certain intervals if they're up, and yes, keep track over time | 02:53 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, if you have any other ppa's that i may need in the future i'll take em | 02:53 |
| jbwiv | so I can go back and examine th ehistory | 02:53 |
| kendrickLeiter | When viewing webpages in %Blinks%B is it possible to open images with %Bfeh%B? | 02:53 |

| sacarlson | GaryD: you can add debug code or turn on debug code and monitor that on an application. not sure what code they have that looks at it but I think they have some that detects the time in each debug node. | 02:55 |

| ZykoticK9 | chaos2358, it looks like gyache hasn't been updated since 2007 - my recommendation is find a more up-to-date program. I'm sure there must to other options for accessing Yahoo messanger. Best of luck. | 02:55 |
| KM0201 | ZykoticK9: not w/ Video/Voice | 02:56 |

| Docteh_ | hrm, i hope my hard drive isn't faulty, really dont know why my / is getting remounted every 100 or so seconds :-/ | 02:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | KM0201, that explains why there are occasionally people trying to install Gyache, what i consider "ancient" software. | 02:58 |

| itaylor57 | BlVoortje: use lower case for the username | 03:01 |
| jrb2971 | i can putty to it , but i was thinking remote like vnc to it | 03:02 |

| tripelb | is there a history on the control-c buffer in ubuntu? like there is in windows. | 03:05 |
| jrb2971 | sshfs = putty? | 03:05 |
| Kerrick | I have a new install of Kubuntu that won't connect to the internet. The internet worked fine in the LiveCD, but it refuses to connect now that I have a full install. I've tried rebooting. The issue was also present when I tried to install Linux Mint KDE, although the internet worked for at least a little while. The connection works when I boot Windows on the same box and when I connect my Ubuntu (non-KDE) laptop. | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mlakics: type action then press tab and it will complete my nick nad higlight your text, like mine does to you | 03:05 |
| mlakics | AP: I am only worrying about the desktop for now. I have two laptops, and will eventually use the printer shared, but not worried for now. | 03:05 |
| Kerrick | So, what should I try? | 03:05 |
| jrb2971 | i'm connecting from my windoze7 laptop to it | 03:05 |

| mlakics | ActionParsnip: | 03:06 |
| mlakics | lol | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mlakics: i suggest you delete the printer, reboot then let the OS reset it up | 03:06 |
| jrb2971 | oh i want to do more than file management :) | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mlakics: easier and it highlights the nick which helps in such a busy channel | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jrb2971: then what!? I asked you twice... | 03:06 |
| mlakics | ActionParsnip: Sorry to say, tried that already. Wiped/deleted it fully, and then HPLIP'ed anew. Still goes to Printer Queue, but never to printer. | 03:07 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, how do you delete the printer. | 03:07 |
| klowny | smash it | 03:07 |
| jrb2971 | administrate it .. ummm anything.. i could do it all command line, but sometimes i'm lazy :) | 03:07 |
| tripelb | and the os never offered to set it up. 10.04 -- which is why I downloaded the HP monstrosity | 03:07 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: that worked i assume | 03:08 |

| GaryD | sacarlson: strace looks promoising....what was you saying before that???i don't have those commands... | 03:08 |
| tripelb | yeah ActionParsnip easy. I knew as soon as I asked you Thanks for your patience | 03:08 |
| tripelb | Easy question not a hard one like all the others tonight.is there a history on the control-c buffer in ubuntu? like there is in windows. | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mlakics: you can print directly to cups, the system can be a print server using cups :) | 03:09 |

| p3rror | itaylor57, no other | 03:12 |
| sacarlson | leslie_: unless you have a plan on how you want to partition your ubuntu partition it's better to start ubuntu with unused partition and let ubuntu run with defaults. just delete the partitions and then start. | 03:12 |
| jrb2971 | so nobody vnc's rdp's to their lxde environment? I know I didn't give a strong enough reason why I want to, it's just something i could do easily in gnome | 03:12 |
| leslie_ | Yes I know this but I installed ubuntu to run along beside windows because i wasn't sure how ubuntu would be. I fell in love with it. now i want to remove windows without damaging any of the mods i've made to ubuntu thus far | 03:12 |
| itaylor57 | p3rror: i use POP but iknowthere ara lot of issues with evolution imap but I have not experience with it | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jrb2971: install a vnc server and you can connect to it | 03:13 |

| asdfasdfasdfasdf | hello i'm a fedora user, i've heard a lot of good reviews about ubuntu. I have a question: is it possible to set up ubuntu to update to lastest stable version of software, similar to fedora's updates cycle. i.e. if a new stable version of gnome comes out after maybe 2 weeks if we're lucky and no bugs are found it gets pushed as update, instead of having to wait to next ubuntu release to use it? | 03:17 |
| leslie_ | That's why I'm tripping I'm wondering where all my space went | 03:17 |
| sacarlson | leslie_: if the ubuntu system you already have would be much of a loss then maybe it's worth arkiving and restore after you repartition. | 03:17 |
| MindVirus | asdfasdfasdfasdf: No. | 03:17 |
| MindVirus | That's called rolling-release. | 03:17 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | MindVirus, that's not called rolling release, that's what arch linux does, but not fedora. | 03:17 |
| KM0201 | asdfasdfasdfasdf: well, whatever you wanna call it.. Ubuntu doesn't do it | 03:18 |

| itaylor57 | and that why I use ubuntu | 03:19 |
| MindVirus | asdfasdfasdfasdf: Your question has been answered. | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | asdfasdfasdfasdf: either way, what you're asking, does not happen in Ubuntu | 03:19 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | MindVirus, also fedora ONLY pushes as update what is stable, not betas alphas RC etcs. | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfasdfasdfasdf: you can use the alpha / beta if you wish, the updates will be pushed out as and when they are ready | 03:19 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | KM0201, not even with ppas? | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | asdfasdfasdfasdf: this isnt a fedora discussion... i'm sure you know where the fedora channel is | 03:19 |
| MindVirus | asdfasdfasdfasdf: PPAs are updated as often as the maintainers choose. | 03:20 |
| MindVirus | You get the updates whenever the maintainers update. | 03:20 |
| hujula | ubuntu sucks | 03:20 |
| rww | asdfasdfasdfasdf: PPAs work for some software. There's nowhere near complete coverage, though, and they're entirely unofficial. As far as I know, there isn't a PPA for GNOME releases either (though there is a KDE one). | 03:20 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | i get it when you don't know the answer you send people to another channel =) | 03:20 |
| MindVirus | asdfasdfasdfasdf: I believe you are a troll. | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | MindVirus: +1 | 03:20 |
| ace007 | Is it possible to transfer to windows mobile 7 phone? lsusb seems to detect it, but i cant mount it or see it in rhythmbox, any ideas? | 03:20 |
| hujula | hey geeks | 03:20 |
| KM0201 | hujula: i hope thats a term of endearment.. :) | 03:21 |
| rww | MindVirus: I don't believe that throwing accusations around is productive. | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ace007: does a partition show up in: sudo fdisk -l | 03:21 |
| MindVirus | rww: It is productive if it shines a spotlight on the accused's behavior. | 03:21 |
| MindVirus | (Which is exactly what it does.) | 03:21 |
| rww | MindVirus: That's what #ubuntu-ops or (in emergencies) our ops factoid are for. Calling people out just makes things harder. | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfasdfasdfasdf: pointing users to other channels is great if the question they are asking is more specific to a channel. Eg. wine | 03:22 |
| rww | anyway | 03:22 |
| MindVirus | rww: Fair enough. | 03:22 |
| ace007 | Actionparsnip no, nothing in fdisc | 03:22 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | MindVirus, have i ever stated that Fedora/ubuntu is better than other distro? have i ever insulted anyone? you sir instead are confusing rolling release cycle =) | 03:22 |
| rww | asdfasdfasdfasdf: Probably best to drop it, it doesn't seem like the discussion's going anywhere positive. | 03:23 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | ActionParsnip, so theres a channel name #infoaboutubuntu'supdates, cause im asking if it is possible to change the updates behaviour of ubuntu to suit owns personal taste | 03:23 |
| MindVirus | asdfasdfasdfasdf: Your question has been answered. | 03:23 |
| MindVirus | Many times now. | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ace007: ok, reboot and login without the device attached, then plug it in and run: dmesg | tail -n 20 it may give clues | 03:23 |
| Flannel | asdfasdfasdfasdf: No, there's no offocial method to get those sorts of updates. | 03:23 |
| Flannel | MindVirus: Stop. | 03:23 |
| rww | asdfasdfasdfasdf: As we said, there are PPAs for some stuff. There aren't official channels like there are in Fedora. | 03:23 |
| MindVirus | Flannel: There is no justice in this world. | 03:23 |
| ace007 | Actionparsnip ok, brb | 03:24 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | rww, but you stated theres one for kde | 03:24 |
| assangeymous | anyone know of an ubuntu pentest type distro that is actively being updated? | 03:24 |
| rww | assangeymous: Yes, that's part of "some stuff". | 03:24 |
| hujula | Unplugging AC runs "lid closed" action | 03:24 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | it doesnt get the sort of updates im lookin for either? | 03:24 |
| rww | assangeymous: sorry, mistab | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfasdfasdfasdf: you'd have to change a LOT in the inner workings of the OS, you could simply shift to debian or arch to use a rolling release, personally I find the release method used in Ubuntu adds more structure even if it does enforce deadlines which may not be met | 03:24 |
| rww | Debian isn't rolling release. | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | asdfasdfasdfasdf: in theory, you can. It's linux so is very flexible. | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: i thought it was.. | 03:25 |
| GaryD | strace only shows the system calls for each command you enter.....i want to see the system calls from all processes without having to manually enter the commands.... | 03:25 |
| sacarlson | asdfasdfasdfasdf: if gnome is the missing ppa then I nominate you as the one to create it and support it. I'll help were I can. | 03:25 |
| rww | asdfasdfasdfasdf: The Kubuntu team backports new versions of KDE to a PPA, yes. You mentioned GNOME, though, so I assumed this wouldn't interest you. | 03:25 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | rww, yes my bad i actually use kde gnome and xfce =) | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | rww: It can be argued that testing is, and unstable is (if you can really call unstable a product for end users). | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | examples of rolling release: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release | 03:26 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | oh lxde too | 03:26 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | :D | 03:26 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: People claim that Unstable is. Considering that unstable and testing are affected by the Stable release process, this doesn't really hold water imho. | 03:26 |
| ]grimm[ | Anyone here know how the rounded gtk tooltips are implemented in Ubuntu? I found a gtk patch that supposedly enables it, but it seems like more is needed to get it to work | 03:26 |
| GaryD | and also, strace launches the command you strace....so i couldn't put strace startx or anything like that... | 03:26 |
| rww | asdfasdfasdfasdf: Well, the KDE stuff is discussed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu . I don't know about Xfce though. | 03:27 |
| Jordan_U | ]grimm[: I would guess that you need to be using a theme that asks for rounded tooltips. | 03:27 |
| killakowala | how can i use ubuntu server in a virtual machine? i just installed it in one, but when I go to http://localhost/ (not in the virtual machine) i dont get a website from it | 03:27 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: why not? exit X and start it again with strace | 03:28 |
| rojoheimer | good night people | 03:28 |
| GaryD | what command shows all processes as they happen??? even if i open the process from my menu??? | 03:28 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | rww, cool thanks a lot | 03:28 |
| ace007 | Actionparsnip here is pastebin of dmesg | tail -n 20 http://pastebin.com/fCnQDKa9 | 03:28 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: every things starts someplace | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | killakowala: if you arent in the virtual machine, then localhost won't work | 03:28 |
| ]grimm[ | Jordan_U: Yeah, there's a gtkrc setting "new-tooltip-style" that seems to be what toggles whether the new or old style tooltips are used | 03:28 |
| Jordan_U | killakowala: localhost is for connecting to your own address, outside of the VM that's the host OS. You need to find the ip address of the virtual machine. | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | killakowala: if you set the network interface to be bridged, it will appear as a system on your network and can be accessed by its own IP | 03:29 |
| GaryD | sacarlson: if i do that i will still not have the output on my desktop...it would be hidden by x... | 03:29 |
| KM0201 | killakowala: make sure the Virtual Machine is getting its own IP from the router | 03:29 |
| GaryD | right??/ | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: put it in a file and tail it on your desktop | 03:29 |
| rojoheimer | killakowala: just put ifconfig on your VM system | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ace007: not hugely informative, all it says is "a usb device is attached" etc | 03:29 |
| GaryD | sacarlson: how do i do that? never heard of tailing... | 03:30 |
| rojoheimer | then get that IP and try again | 03:30 |
| cr215 | hey is there anyone here who might know how to help me with a mic issue? my microphone works in sound recorder but it wont work on skype or google voice or icall etc... and ive beeen stuck on this all day | 03:30 |

| cr215 | any help would be much appreciated | 03:30 |
| Fredricho | <Fredricho> what is the file directory for mozilla firefox data file | 03:30 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: maybe you also don't know about pipe > | 03:30 |
| itaylor57 | GaryD: tail -f <filename> | 03:30 |
| killakowala | ifconfig says my inet addr is 10.0.2.15, but when i go to that outside of the VM, chrome says it cant be found, and my router isnt giving the VM an IP | 03:31 |
| itaylor57 | or tee | 03:31 |
| VinceN | Hello folks, Need some help with the New GIMP 2.7 build. I'm getting an error message that states gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libgegl-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Does anyone know what exactly it wants so I can get over this hurdle? | 03:31 |
| Fredricho | <Fredricho> what is the file directory for mozilla firefox data file | 03:31 |
| Fredricho | <Fredricho> what is the file directory for mozilla firefox data file | 03:31 |
| KM0201 | killakowala: you need to bridge your eithernet in vbox settings, so that the virtual machine gets its own IP from your router, it will never work the way youre wanting to do it. | 03:31 |
| GaryD | sacarlson: pipe?? nope... | 03:31 |
| Fredricho | plz answer | 03:31 |
| rojoheimer | killakowala: well... | 03:31 |
| ace007 | actionparsnip ya, i think it may be a lost cause, windows 7 is way less functional than their old junk.. | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: you would pipe the output of strace application >/path/to/tracefile.txt | 03:31 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, hey how much do you know about this gyache | 03:31 |
| Sary | cr215, Check Sound Preference , and see if the Mic is muted. | 03:31 |
| rojoheimer | killakowala: are you sure that you installed a web server in that? | 03:32 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: how to install it.. :) | 03:32 |
| rww | Fredricho: Do you mean /home/yourusername/.mozilla/ ? | 03:32 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ive got video going but we cant get voice | 03:32 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, lol | 03:32 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: are you sure you're Mic is working otherwise? | 03:32 |
| Fredricho | yes | 03:32 |
| chaos2358 | lol yes | 03:32 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: just checking | 03:32 |
| rojoheimer | killakowala: and configureted the Lan interface on VM? | 03:32 |
| * Sary wave's at rww ActionParsnip KM0201 :) | 03:32 | |
| KM0201 | Sary: greetings | 03:33 |
| === anonymous is now known as fuho | ||
| killakowala | i did install a web server, but i didnt bridge the VM. do I need to do that in the virtual box settings or in windows? | 03:33 |
| KM0201 | rojoheimer: no he hasn't, thats his problem | 03:33 |
| rojoheimer | killakowala: *configured | 03:33 |
| GaryD | sacarlson...so in my case, i am using lxterminal (also have xterm)....what would be my exact command??? | 03:33 |
| Fredricho | <Fredricho> what is the file directory for mozilla firefox data file | 03:33 |
| Fredricho | <Fredricho> what is the file directory for mozilla firefox data file | 03:33 |
| Fredricho | its not /home/myname/ | 03:33 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, lol i actually have a bluetooth connected but have tried with a wired moue as well . i cant even find any settings for voice | 03:33 |
| Sary | Greetings Y'All. | 03:33 |
| KM0201 | killakowala: in the vbox settings.. shut down the virtual machine | 03:33 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: command at what point? | 03:33 |
| rww | Fredricho: I just said, it's /home/yourname/.mozilla/ . | 03:33 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: its under sound settings. | 03:33 |
| rojoheimer | <KM0201>, <killakowala>: ok, now a got.. | 03:33 |
| itaylor57 | GaryD: tee outputs to stdout and current screen | 03:33 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: there are two points starting the application under strace and the tail to display progress of your strace | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | killakowala: in the virtualbox, you will see the IP of the virtual system in your routers dhcp client list, also in ifconfig in the system itself | 03:34 |
| rojoheimer | <killakowala>: you ve to do that on Virtual Box | 03:34 |
| Fredricho | rww, i dont see a mozilla folder | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Fredricho: it should be ~/.mozilla | 03:34 |
| killakowala | ah ok, thanks guys. i set the network settigns in virtual box and now the router gave it an ip. thanks again! | 03:34 |
| rww | Fredricho: .mozilla . With a dot in front of it. You might need to show hidden files in your file manager to see it (Ctrl-h in GNOME, Alt-. in KDE, ls -a in the terminal) | 03:35 |
| KM0201 | killakowala: yup. | 03:35 |
| GaryD | sacarlson: if i were to use a startup script to strace x then pipe it to a file and then tail that file on a terminal? | 03:35 |
| rojoheimer | <killakowala>: u r welcome | 03:35 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, i dont have a sounds setting | 03:35 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: yes | 03:35 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: system/preferences/sound | 03:35 |
| KM0201 | then click the input tab | 03:36 |
| GaryD | sacarlson: will it log everything that opens and closes, or just x? | 03:36 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: in xterm tail -f /path/to/testdata.txt | 03:36 |
| cr215 | @sary: i sent u a pm | 03:36 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, oh i thought you meant within gyachi | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: no.. ubuntu.. make sure the mic is working in ubuntu.. if it snot working in ubuntu, it won't work in gyachi | 03:36 |
| UnholyTerror | GaryD, devilspie | 03:36 |
| Fredricho | TY | 03:36 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, gotcha | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: see where it says "connector" on that tab | 03:36 |
| sacarlson | GaryD: I don't know I've never done it. I was hoping you would tell us what you see after you performed it | 03:37 |
| UnholyTerror | GaryD, http://enli.co.cc/customization/2-terminal-customizations-for-ubuntu-and-gnome-desktop-environment/ | 03:37 |

| sacarlson | GaryD: the strace we are talking about would only be monitoring what X has to do | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: ok, on the input tab | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: do you see where it says "connector" | 03:38 |

| MotherMother | Hey, can anyone help me? since i kinda fucked up.. | 03:39 |
| GaryD | UnholyTerror: i think that would work, as well as maybe xwinwrap, but i still need to know how to log everything in the terminal... | 03:40 |
| xxiao | when i remove a package, how can I remove those dependencies that is only used by this to-be-removed package? | 03:40 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: ok, what are your options for "input source" | 03:40 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: are you using 10.10? | 03:40 |

| ActionParsnip | xxiao: run: sudo apt-get --pure autoremove | 03:41 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: hmm | 03:41 |
| snake | Fredricho, actually.say.it | 03:41 |
| KruyKaze | lol | 03:41 |

| nit-wit | snake, lol | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | xxiao: yes | 03:42 |
| snake | Fredricho, I.am.curious.as.to.what.you.were.going.to.say. | 03:42 |
| GaryD | UnholyTerror: i want to see each process in the terminal as it is performed on the system...like when i open ff it logs it in the terminal....if i click on something, itlogs it, if i open the text editor and save the file, it logs it.... | 03:42 |
| Inphernal | Hi, I'm trying to install Morrowind with Wine 1.3.9 from a .iso image. If I mount the .iso I get an error before setup even launches, if I burn it and try from there I get error "please insert disc 0 that contains the file data3.cab" about halfway through installation. There is no data3.cab | 03:42 |
| xxiao | ActionParsnip: it reports nothing to delete, i used aptitude install | 03:42 |
| xxiao | 10.04 that is | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | xxiao: should still be ok, you can use deborphan but some people say it's OTT | 03:43 |
| nit-wit | snake, must be typing the answer to all our problems | 03:43 |
| GaryD | if i change windows it logs it, if i move to another desktop, it logs it, if i open an image, it logs it...so on, and so forth. | 03:43 |
| Fredricho | Since my windows got formatted, i did not know what i was going to do until i found the ubuntu cd where i installed and used it for november 13 and it was a bit challenging, i am used to windows since 1998 and using a different os is not that easy, with help of the irc and the forums i am able to tackle most problems and i sometimes get impatient. I just got fit in the ubuntu scene but ubuntu did not meet my goals of using computer | 03:43 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok there is a bar that shows my input level and it moves when i speak so it must be set up correctlly in ubuntu | 03:43 |
| Fredricho | you, ubuntu is a great os | 03:43 |
| snake | nit-wit, including.the.answer.to.fixing.the.fact.that.I.cannot.type.a.space.character. | 03:43 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: ok... yup... so now, you need to configure it w/ gyachi | 03:43 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: and that, i have no idea how to do.. it's probably in the options? preferences? of the program | 03:44 |
| snake | I.envy.everyone.in.here.with.your.ability.to.type.spaces.and.what.not.. | 03:44 |
| Fredricho | i will be using windows tommorow evening .thank you all for helping me and i will continue to use ubuntu if necessary, have a good day | 03:44 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ive checked and i see everything but audio | 03:44 |

| idea4gud | actionParsnip : so when XP boots it just shows blue screen and doesnt show login prompt and hangs on there for ever | 03:48 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: well, my gues is, its working | 03:48 |
| KM0201 | have you confirmed that it isnt? | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | idea4gud: i'd ask in ##windows you may need your XP CD to reinstate NTLDR, then install grub | 03:48 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, the notifications come through but when i enable voice nothing | 03:48 |
| GaryD | what about /var/log/syslog??? | 03:49 |
| snake | Well.I.assume.it.will.alway.be.a.mystery.as.to.why.I.can't.use.the.space.key./And.I'll.always.have.to.wonder:WTF.HAPPENED! | 03:49 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, and i know it isnt on his end because i logged out and then in on my droid and it worked fine | 03:49 |

| Amitabha | Hello- I have a computer that I am trying to convert to ubuntu but it will not boot from my flash drive or cd- | 03:50 |
| snake | It think (I know.As I have used spaces several times already.)-- I fixed my space key problem. | 03:50 |
| idea4gud | i do know that and i am trying to repair my xp partition but it shows G partition which I dont even create | 03:50 |
| GaryD | i gotta go...if i figure out how to do what i want i will let everyone know. | 03:51 |
| idea4gud | And doesnt show C | 03:51 |
| Amitabha | from usb drive I see a black screen | 03:51 |
| snake | But it doesn't make sense. I didn't even have key cmbinations turned on. | 03:51 |
| snake | yet it was used anyway. | 03:51 |
| Amitabha | that says boot error | 03:51 |
| snake | Now, I shall google my REAL problem. | 03:51 |
| Jordan_U | Amitabha: How did you create the CD? What happens when you try to boot from CD? | 03:52 |

| r00t4rd3d | anyone know compiz ? how you do "super" e ? I dont get what key is the super key :/ | 03:53 |
| shcherbak | r00t4rd3d: key with "bad" logo | 03:53 |
| sam-_- | super is the windows key i think | 03:54 |
| Amitabha | it goes right to windows from the cd | 03:54 |
| KM0201 | r00t4rd3d: yup.. the little "windows" key on your keyboard, usually by control or alt | 03:54 |
| Amitabha | after making noises like it is trying to read it but can not | 03:54 |
| shcherbak | Amitabha: boot sequence in bios? | 03:54 |
| q1w | is there s program similar to ConvertXtoDVD for Linux | 03:54 |
| q1w | ? | 03:54 |
| Amitabha | yes, did that already | 03:54 |
| r00t4rd3d | oh lol , i had my g15 keyboard set to game mode , disables that key | 03:55 |
| r00t4rd3d | thats what key i though it was | 03:55 |
| KM0201 | r00t4rd3d: well that is obviously linux's fault | 03:55 |
| KM0201 | :) | 03:55 |
| r00t4rd3d | IT UR FAULT ! :D | 03:55 |
| shcherbak | r00t4rd3d: what is game mode (apart of disabled certain keys)? | 03:56 |
| sam-_- | shcherbak, just the windows key is disabled | 03:56 |
| r00t4rd3d | yeah | 03:57 |
| r00t4rd3d | lol there is a button to shut off a button :/ | 03:57 |
| sam-_- | shcherbak, because if you press it accidentally you minimize the game. not good. | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | Amitabha: Can you remove the internal drive from the boot order as a test? | 03:57 |
| shcherbak | ok, why, do need mode to disable one key? | 03:57 |
| Amitabha | how do i do that?- I can try | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | Amitabha: It depends on the BIOS, and not all allow you to remove boot devices (only change the order). | 03:58 |
| sam-_- | shcherbak, because the windows button is annoying for gamers | 03:58 |
| Amitabha | ok I am there right now | 03:58 |
| Amitabha | I have four options | 03:59 |
| shcherbak | sam-_-: i would rebind it to show me in game message: You can Frag It! | 03:59 |
| sam-_- | shcherbak, good idea :-) | 03:59 |
| Rix_ | hello | 04:00 |
| Rix_ | ubuntu isnt detecting my wireless network | 04:01 |
| sam-_- | Rix_ does it detect others? | 04:01 |
| Rix_ | sam-_-: none at all | 04:01 |
| snake | Rix_, what wireless network card do you have. | 04:02 |
| Rix_ | snake: hold on | 04:02 |
| Amitabha | when I try to boot from usb- black screen with boot error in upper left comes up | 04:03 |
| snake | Rix_, you may be able to find drivers for it in jockey-gtk, or System->Administration->Additional Drivers | 04:03 |
| Rix_ | snake: intel wireless wifi link 4965agn | 04:03 |
| Amitabha | thanks for the previous link, but I think this might be different | 04:03 |
| ubuntunoob | what room should i go to if i have a question about graphics card | 04:03 |
| ubuntunoob | s | 04:03 |
| snake | Rix_, okay, try the additional drivers thing if you haven't already. | 04:04 |
| Rix_ | i'm on vista atm, sn0wflake | 04:04 |
| linux_probe | yikes | 04:04 |
| Rix_ | snake* | 04:04 |
| snake | Rix_, but the problem is on ubuntu correct? | 04:04 |
| Rix_ | yes sir | 04:04 |
| snake | Rix_, and you still have the disk that you used to install right? | 04:05 |
| Rix_ | yees | 04:05 |
| snake | Rix_, pop it in, and you should be able to go to their and install the driver for it. | 04:05 |
| snake | meanwhile I will google some open source versions. | 04:05 |
| Rix_ | wait what disk are you talking about snake | 04:06 |
| Rix_ | and thaks | 04:06 |
| Rix_ | thanks | 04:06 |
| industry__ | assuming that his driver has support for it | 04:06 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: is this a live-usb or a complete install? | 04:06 |
| industry__ | or rather ubuntu has support for those drivers | 04:06 |
| Amitabha | what do you mean by live? | 04:06 |
| Rix_ | btw its a live-usb if that helps, sn0wflake | 04:06 |
| Rix_ | snake* | 04:06 |
| snake | Rix_, the disk you used to install, but before you reboot. we should see if it has support ;) hang on | 04:06 |
| sam-_- | Rix_ run lsmod | grep iwlcore | 04:06 |
| sam-_- | Rix_ to see if the driver is loaded | 04:07 |
| Amitabha | i dont understand the difference | 04:07 |
| Rix_ | yes snake but atm it's just a live-usb | 04:07 |
| rs0832 | Amitabha: same as a live cd - runs without installing( from ram) | 04:07 |
| Amitabha | I went to ubuntu and followed the directions | 04:08 |
| snake | Rix, that usb might work anyway. Didju run that command they said? | 04:08 |
| Rix_ | no id have to dualboot ubuntu :s | 04:08 |
| snake | Rix_, no, were not reinstalling... | 04:09 |
| Rix_ | i have not installed it | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | Amitabha: Have you ever been able to boot anything else from CD or USB with this computer? | 04:09 |
| Amitabha | yes | 04:09 |
| tawfiq | was up | 04:10 |
| snake | -_- Rix_ u siad it wouldn't load the driver. how can you tell if ubuntu is not installed.... | 04:10 |
| Amitabha | I have a boot repair type disk that works fine | 04:10 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: how did u create this usb..using what software? | 04:10 |
| tawfiq | am new here | 04:10 |
| Rix_ | <Rix_> btw its a live-usb if that helps | 04:10 |
| Amitabha | the directions on the ubuntu web site | 04:10 |
| sam-_- | Rix_, it's very hard to troublehsoot if you have to reboot every time to test sth. | 04:11 |
| Amitabha | I did not use any software | 04:11 |
| snake | Rix_, Ahh I see, you are simply using ubuntu in a live environement. | 04:11 |
| sam-_- | Rix_, you need 2 computers | 04:11 |
| Rix_ | you are right snake | 04:11 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: unetbootin? | 04:11 |
| Rix_ | sam-_- why | 04:11 |
| Amitabha | what does that mean? | 04:11 |
| sam-_- | Rix_, because it takes a lot of time | 04:12 |
| snake | Rix_, well you should look into dualbooting so the changes would be permanent. | 04:12 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: what is your current os? | 04:12 |
| snake | Rix_, or even having two computers | 04:12 |
| === Pinako is now known as Panserbjorne | ||
| === thichlinux is now known as Guest64502 | ||
| snake | Rix_, or if you have a faster computer you could use virtualization like virtualbox, or vmware workstation to run ubunt inside windows. | 04:13 |
| Amitabha | xp | 04:13 |
| snake | sam-_-, I like how your name has an annoyed smiley face in it. | 04:13 |
| snake | sam-_-, -_- | 04:13 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: also does your computer have a cd drive? | 04:14 |
| sam-_- | snake, i'm chinese :-) | 04:14 |
| Amitabha | yes | 04:14 |
| snake | sam-_-, hmm... and how is that going? With us speaking English? | 04:14 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: so did you try booting from a ubuntu live cd ? | 04:15 |
| snake | sam-_-, have you learned it to a point of fluency or not? | 04:15 |
| === fuho is now known as asdfsd | ||
| Amitabha | yes, no luck | 04:15 |
| sam-_- | snake, i was just kidding. but english is not my native lang. | 04:16 |
| bonjoyee | why? what happens? | 04:16 |
| snake | sam-_-, ah. HILARIOUS! lol | 04:16 |
| === Panserbjorne is now known as Pinako | ||
| Amitabha | well, a cd that I made before- and worked on the computer that I am using right now | 04:16 |
| snake | Rix_, would you be needing any further assistance? | 04:17 |
| === clerigo_ is now known as Cl3r1g0 | ||
| Rix_ | snake, i'm in a pm with someone atm | 04:18 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha:so u created a live usb..from a ubuntu iso file? | 04:18 |
| Rix_ | if i need help, ill ask again | 04:18 |
| snake | Rix_, okay. | 04:18 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: could you give me a link to the instructions u followed? | 04:19 |
| snake | Man am I glad I fixed my problem with the space key. | 04:19 |
| Amitabha | Im still not sure what live means- i followed the directions on the ubuntu site, and neither the disk nor the usb worked | 04:19 |
| Amitabha | but the disk im using worked on 1 computer | 04:19 |
| snake | Typing isn't the same when every time you hit the space key you get an error. | 04:19 |
| Amitabha | www.ubuntu.com | 04:20 |
| snake | Amitabha, perhaps he meant the full path to what you were following. | 04:20 |
| Amitabha | ubuntu.com, click download- sorry, I have not yet learned to post links | 04:21 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: a live disk/usb means that u can start your computer with ubuntu(or any distro for that matter) without installing anything on your hard drive..and try all the features of the os | 04:21 |
| meow | wats d syntx for searching .pdf files ????? | 04:21 |
| Amitabha | oh ok- yes, I was using that | 04:22 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: ok...so this is a live usb then.. | 04:22 |
| bsmith093 | is there a way to edit the tags in the gnome audio/video tab | 04:22 |
| bsmith093 | specifically for videos, bc i already have easytag and that doesnt do it | 04:23 |
| meow | bsmith093: where r dode tgs? | 04:23 |
| Droid-Love | okay guys dual booting win 7 and ubuntu, and not new but rusty what would you rec. I do first. | 04:23 |
| bsmith093 | in the properties of any video file, the audio video tab those tags edit them | 04:23 |
| Amitabha | yes | 04:24 |
| tieinv | the ubuntu cd has a file called usb-creator.exe and you can run it in windows to put ubuntu on usb | 04:24 |
| sam-_- | Droid-Love, what is your question? | 04:24 |
| Inphernal | Hey, new problem. I can't burn CD/DVDs. I get error "Error while burning. SCSI error on write(208,16): See MMC specs: Sense Key 3 "Medium error", ASC 10 ASCQ 00" | 04:24 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: what i would suggest is you start your computer using the liveCD, then plug this usb drive in and then use the System>Adminitration>Startup Disk Creator to create a live usb.. | 04:24 |
| Droid-Love | what every one rec. I do starting out for ubuntu little tweaks etc | 04:24 |
| sacarlson | Droid-Love: if you were to try to install dual boot? install windows 7 first then ubuntu, keep a spare patition for the ubuntu install | 04:24 |
| bonjoyee | In my experience..this works and behaves much like the actual live cd.. | 04:25 |
| === clerigo is now known as cl3r1g0 | ||
| sam-_- | Inphernal, did you try a different disk? | 04:25 |
| Droid-Love | Sacarlson: im already running. | 04:25 |
| Inphernal | Yes, I tried a couple CDs and DVDs | 04:25 |
| meow | wats d cmd for searching file | 04:26 |
| sacarlson | Droid-Love: only tweak I would need it install the restricted package | 04:26 |
| sam-_- | Droid-Love, maybe this is for you http://ubuntuguide.org/ | 04:26 |
| Amitabha | it does not start from cd on this computer though | 04:26 |
| etrnl` | One of the computers I am managing on ubuntu sometimes boots up and gets stuck at boot with fsck displaying the message, "unable to mount /tmp" is there anything I can do to fix that? | 04:26 |
| linux_probe | them darned bots flood more than flooders it seems | 04:27 |
| KM0201 | linux_probe: then you've not been here when the flooding is really bad | 04:27 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: use anyone that works and has a usb port...else try usb-creator.exe thats on the ubuntu live cd.. | 04:27 |
| sam-_- | Inphernal maybe your lense is dirty. did you try to clean it? | 04:27 |
| linux_probe | i suppose | 04:27 |
| etrnl` | flooding in here can get really bad | 04:27 |
| industry__ | etrnl`: can we see the relevant line in /etc/fstab? | 04:27 |

| etrnl` | industry__, sure one moment. I have 95 computers all running off the same image, but it's this one computer that keeps having the problem. Could it possibly mean the disk is going bad? | 04:28 |
| Amitabha | tryed to open usb creator, input/output error | 04:29 |
| sam-_- | Inphernal why do you burn disks still. it's so yesterday :-) | 04:29 |
| chaospsychex | i sent rix on his merry way | 04:29 |
| etrnl` | industry__, there is no mount point in fstab for /tmp | 04:29 |

| sam-_- | coder2, which driver | 04:32 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, no, this was pretty much a automatic install I did for the image | 04:32 |

| bonjoyee | kds: u mean after a period of idle time or a predefined schedule..? | 04:33 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: it must be very old install to do that by defalut what verison ubuntu is it? | 04:33 |

| Jordan_U | chaospsychex: People will ask questions about problems they are having, if you think you can help then do so. There's no need to announce that you'd like to help people who have a specific problem. | 04:35 |
| albech | what is 'recursive DNS cache for a network'?? | 04:36 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: I run 10.04 and it's all defaulted to uuid, not sure that has any baring on your /tmp problem. | 04:36 |

| coder2 | KM0201: i have dell studio laptop 1558 model | 04:36 |
| bonjoyee | if u want to shutdown at exactly a given time..then u you could use "crontab" to schedule it.. | 04:36 |
| KM0201 | coder2: open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes(and thats a lowercase L)... hit enter, and it will spit out your pci bus devices... don't coopy/paste the whole list here, just find your broadcom wireless device, and see what version it is | 04:36 |

| sacarlson | etrnl`: fsck should be ran from a live cd or maybe in some kind of ram boot without the disk mounted to run the test safely | 04:40 |
| etrnl` | zcat[1]. any example of which questions it wouldn't be a good idea for? | 04:40 |
| * MrDudle bbl | 04:40 | |
| LB | @Ubottu i asked already | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dhanijeremy: http://linux.aldeby.org/configure-grub2-options-and-background.html | 04:40 |
| zcat[1] | etrnl`: any where 'no' is a more approriate answer? ;) | 04:40 |
| etrnl` | :p | 04:40 |
| Okini | has anyone here every tried triple booting on a mac os ? | 04:40 |
| kds | ActionParsnip, ok, thanks I think for now I'll pass the time to the shutdown cli command. I was hoping for an "after x amount of idle time". | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dhanijeremy: kinda pointless, its on the screen for only a few seconds | 04:40 |
| dhanijeremy | UnholyTerror, thanks | 04:40 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: so I guess my answer would be I don't think so, | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kds: ahhhhh, i see | 04:41 |
| industry__ | etrnl`, in general, you should run fsck only on an UNmounted file system. it will usually warn you very loudly if you try to run it on a mounted file system. | 04:41 |
| Amitabha | thanks for the suggestions- but nothing is working | 04:41 |
| LB | thanks Ubottu but i have tried those already | 04:41 |
| NiceUbuUsr | oh hey, why is couchdb 3.5 gigs, can I delete it? | 04:41 |
| KM0201 | coder2: post #6 http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8796751 | 04:41 |
| kds | ActionParsnip, the root problem that I don't have time to try to fix right now is that pulseaudio is screwed up after resume from sleep/hibernate so would rather it shutdown completely rather than having to reboot immediately after a resume. | 04:41 |
| LB | The only one that i think will work is http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8576910 | 04:41 |
| LB | but i am stuck | 04:41 |
| tyler_d | LB: sorry, what is stopping you from grabing your data(backing up) and just installing again? | 04:42 |
| LB | pls is there a way of doing this actions in command line instead of through synatic | 04:42 |
| zcat[1] | etrnl`: generally if fsck -a won't work it's because your filessytem is quite badly corrutped. I guess fsck -y is better than nothing since most users won't know what decisions are the 'right' once for the best repair of the filesystem anyhow | 04:42 |
| industry__ | LB: are you talking about saving your stuff from a livecd? | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | kds: i suggest you modprobe -r your sound driver, then reload it after you 'wake up' usually fixes sound | 04:42 |
| sam-_- | KM0201 shame on me :-) | 04:43 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: you should be able to run your intermitent system manualy and see if an error comes up hopfully isolate your problem. if it fails to boot maybe it didn't even get to the fsck test yet. | 04:43 |
| LB | I am currently running from a livecd because i could not get my broken ubuntu 10.10 to work | 04:43 |
| kds | ActionParsnip, ok, I'll try that next time. I noticed I can't "restart" pulseaudio as it complains about being loaded per user or some such thing. | 04:43 |
| LB | i have been on this issue for about a week.. | 04:43 |
| LB | as seen in the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8576910 | 04:44 |
| LB | i think it can be fixed other than fresh installation | 04:44 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, yeha it boots fine just get that screen every now and then on that one machine | 04:44 |
| sam-_- | LB of course it can. what is the issue? | 04:44 |
| etrnl` | I'll go play with it and see if I can figure anyhting out | 04:44 |
| etrnl` | **anything | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kds: suspend etc can be a real pain to get nice, imho not worth the time | 04:44 |
| sam-_- | LB is there a broken package? | 04:45 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: well the evey now and then thing may be that it never works in fsck boot, that is auto tested every X number of boots | 04:45 |
| KM0201 | sam-_-: what is the problem w/ the BCM 4312 right now?.. i was helping someone w/ that yesterday, and we never got it t work | 04:45 |
| kds | ActionParsnip, thanks for your time. | 04:45 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, any way to suppress the warning about fs errors and boot normally? | 04:46 |
| etrnl` | that would be awesome | 04:46 |
| LB | thanks sam. When i followed the instructions in the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8576910 i got stuck on the synaptic part | 04:46 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: you can disable the fsck test I guess but I would run the test manualy to see what the problem might be | 04:46 |
| sam-_- | KM0201 i have no idea. luckily i have an intel wifi chip | 04:46 |
| KM0201 | oh ok. | 04:46 |
| LB | and i could not succussfullly go to File -> Save Marking As..., select the Save full state, not only changes check box and save the markings in the root ("/") of the filesystem. | 04:46 |
| LB | i keep getting an error "E: Can't Write | 04:47 |

| LB | Just did that its says sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu | 04:49 |
| coolfire | only ubuntu | 04:49 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, in that case shouldn't the same screen be coming up on boot for all the machines? | 04:50 |
| LB | @sam Just did that its says sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu | 04:50 |
| Pici | !hostname | 04:50 |
| ubottu | 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. | 04:50 |
| ChroniclesOfNeve | sam-_-, what do u mean | 04:50 |
| Inphernal | Still same problem =[ Trying to install Morrowing through Wine, and I get an error saying "Please insert disk 0 that contains the file data3.cab". I had burned the image to a CD and got this error at 33%, just burned it to a DVD and got the error at 87%. There is no such file as data3.cab in the image, which I've used to install the game on Win7 | 04:50 |
| zcat[1] | etrnl`: somewhere in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh find the part where it says the filesystem has to be checked manually .. edit that so it just does a fsck -y / and then reboots? | 04:50 |
| sam-_- | ChroniclesOfNeve, that macs are expensive | 04:50 |
| Inphernal | Mac computers are overpriced | 04:50 |
| ChroniclesOfNeve | sam-_-, u dont need to be rich to own a mac | 04:50 |
| ChroniclesOfNeve | sam-_-, not really | 04:51 |

| M4d3L | hi! anyone know a good ftp to transfert quick lot of file (like leechftp on windows) | 04:51 |
| sam-_- | ChroniclesOfNeve, i know the prices. you pay considerably more than for a pc | 04:51 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: the leter that the disk becomes is somewhat random as why they us uuid. it can change with small hardware changes like a usb flash pluged in can change your hdd from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb so all the partitions can get shifted, not that this is your case. | 04:51 |
| ChroniclesOfNeve | sam-_-, but mac is awesome :p | 04:52 |

| bonjoyee | M4d3L: gftp, filezilla etc.. | 04:52 |

| sacarlson | etrnl`: or just pluging it into a sata plug instead of an ide plug on the sytem | 04:53 |
| dhanijeremy | Still no background :'( | 04:53 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, ah makes sense. Well I disabled it in fstab, hopefully this will suppress it for now | 04:53 |
| sam-_- | ChroniclesOfNeve, i might be too if i had the money ;-) | 04:53 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: disabled what? I didn't see /tmp | 04:53 |
| etrnl` | checking on /dev/sda1 | 04:53 |
| zcat[1] | etrnl`: if root is 'dirty' then you really want to fsck it, otherwise a small corruption can become a serious filesystem failure | 04:54 |
| etrnl` | zcat[1], then I will reimage it | 04:54 |
| etrnl` | these are just kiosk machines, they don't store anything | 04:55 |

| === klfdskljfds is now known as Us3r_Unfriendly | ||
| Us3r_Unfriendly | how's everyone tonight? | 04:55 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: ya it must only take minits to reimage it since you must have a pxeboot install ready with 95 systems | 04:55 |
| etrnl` | all in all it's not a problem either way, I can replace the physical disk or I can reimage it, just trying to figure out why it is the way it is | 04:56 |
| zcat[1] | etrnl`: tunefs? will let you change the number or days/mounts before the filesystem wants to be checked. Look into that? | 04:56 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, g4u actually, but yes :) | 04:56 |
| sam-_- | M4d3L why would multithreading be important for ftp | 04:56 |
| k0d3g3ar | M4d3L, yeh, that sounds like a Windows question | 04:57 |
| etrnl` | eventually I might move to pxebooting but didn't want to hassle with our windows based dhcp server | 04:57 |

| goodtime | hi i downloaded a ati driver and the installer doesnt let me install | 04:58 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: I tried it with persistance and I think the hdd still is more reliable and faster. it's fine as a fall back method | 04:58 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: and as a reimageing tool | 04:58 |
| goodtime | is there some sort of command i could use? | 04:59 |
| sam-_- | goodtime, videocard? | 04:59 |
| goodtime | yes | 04:59 |
| etrnl` | sacarlson, which tool? | 04:59 |
| zcat[1] | !ati | 04:59 |
| sam-_- | goodtime which one? | 04:59 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: have you tried the ati driver in the repos? | 04:59 |
| goodtime | ati radeon 1300 series | 05:00 |
| sacarlson | etrnl`: I mean use pxeboot as an install media tool and also as a fallback to get things up temp when something fails | 05:00 |
| sam-_- | x1300 is not supported by fglrx anymore | 05:00 |
| goodtime | i have the right driver i belive its the installer that wont let me install | 05:00 |
| etrnl` | oh, right | 05:00 |
| zcat[1] | goodtime: it's best to install the driver package from the repos.. if you download a binary installer from ATI's website it might work, but it will confuse package management and break every time there's a new kernel... | 05:00 |
| goodtime | idk thoe | 05:00 |
| sam-_- | goodtime, no your videocard isn't supported anymore | 05:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati | 05:01 |
| goodtime | man | 05:01 |
| sam-_- | goodtime, you need to use the opensource driver | 05:01 |
| goodtime | my screen flickers time to time | 05:01 |
| goodtime | guess i lose | 05:01 |
| goodtime | and the store wins again lol | 05:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: you'll want to look at your monitor settings too or generate a xorg.conf file and adjust it there | 05:02 |
| zcat[1] | this is the problem with 'nonfree' drivers I think.. when th manuf decides to stop keeping the drivers up to date with kernel releases then you have a card that won't work any more. | 05:02 |
| bonjoyee | goodtime: did u try disabling the kms..i have X1250 onboard and that solved my issue with the default drivers.. | 05:03 |
| goodtime | how might i go about that Us3r_Unfriendly | 05:03 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: still flickering? I'd suggest generating a xorg.conf and editing there | 05:07 |

| goodtime | idk how | 05:07 |
| === transplanetary_f is now known as authenticos | ||
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: now seeing that your new this is going to be kinda hard to generate a xorg.conf seeing that your going to have to kill your X display and then generate it from something like tty1 | 05:08 |
| goodtime | lol yeah | 05:08 |
| goodtime | im gonna go to the store | 05:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: once you kill the gdm (along with X) your not going to have a grapical display. TTY is just a command line in a black box...that's all you'll see | 05:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: go to the store for what? | 05:10 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: you remove or move the bottom panel and replace it with a dock | 05:30 |
| bastidrazor | r00t4rd3d: i agree, cairo-dock is a good dock.. avant-window-navigator is the package for the screenshot or cairo-dock | 05:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: bastidrazor: it also matters what's the level of graphic acceleration you use | 05:31 |
| r00t4rd3d | ok another dumb question , you know how minimized windows show in the bottom dock , how you make them goto the top one ? | 05:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: bastidrazor: cairo-dock is on more of the heavier side for graphic acceleration | 05:32 |
| r00t4rd3d | or where do they go with a dock like that ? | 05:32 |

| kdas | like make it one of the "technical items" | 05:35 |
| kdas | ? | 05:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: i also use the "DockbarX" which is a another cool panel replacement | 05:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: but that looks more like win7 dock | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | r00t4rd3d: can also use simdock or wbar if you want something fast and light | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kdas: i dont know if you can hide your own apps, why do you want it hidden | 05:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: I think the leading docks right now is "Gnome-Do" and "Cairo-Dock"...or atleast that's what is the rage now a days | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kdas: you could use this so it's not installable but will still show: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208426 | 05:36 |
| chaospsychex | can someone help me with netbootin? | 05:36 |
| kdas | ActionParsnip: you know how there are "technical items" in the software center i just want to know what classifies them as technical. Because i dont want to have 7zip as one of my installed programs but rather as a technical one | 05:37 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | also i'm too old to be using rage as a word lol | 05:37 |

| home | VivekRp: The problem will be solved in no time :D | 05:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | r00t4rd3d: right click and just delete this panel | 05:39 |
| sacarlson | chaospsychex: it must have like 3 steps, step 1 run netbootin, step 2 select iso file to create, step 3 push create botton. | 05:39 |
| home | VivekRp: State your problem again? | 05:39 |
| goodtime | kernel parameter.? | 05:39 |
| r00t4rd3d | right click does nothing on the panel thats showing | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | r00t4rd3d: you can reset your panels to default and start again if you like | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !panelreset | r00t4rd3d | 05:39 |
| ubottu | r00t4rd3d: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 05:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | goodtime: what command did you run to start this out? | 05:39 |

| ActionParsnip | cargile: so samba then. ok try: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER set the samba password the same as the users login password, you can now authenticate on the client side as $USER using the password you set, this is needed if you are sharing folders in user's homes from what I have seen | 05:46 |
| VivekRp | @home And i have installed Compiz. Is that making any problem? | 05:46 |

| Kiyiko | so it restarts the session, and now wants a password to log in | 05:48 |
| Kiyiko | blank password is not doing it -.- | 05:48 |
| Diamondcite | Kiyiko: If you wish to do something with root please use "sudo command_here" | 05:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | home: there's alot of ppl that need help. Usually with wireless cards, X related, or ppl that like to fight in irc rooms lol | 05:48 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | home: what is your problem? | 05:50 |
| j101 | From the googling that I did. | 05:50 |
| home | VivekRp: More info would be nice | 05:50 |
| frankcox777 | VivekRp i found 10.10 was lwss trouble | 05:50 |
| home | 10.10 is awsome | 05:50 |
| Kiyiko | my friend had malware kill his xp install, so I am booting up in ubuntu to move all his files to another computer, so I can safely format and reinstall windows on his laptop | 05:51 |
| home | user friendly: Why does your name have to be so long :/.. its so user unfriendly | 05:51 |
| j101 | I'm using TightVNC now. It seems to be doing the job. | 05:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | 10.10 is good but I think I like 10.04 32 more | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | j101: vnc is vnc so should be fine. ive heard of users having issues with vnc when the server is running compiz | 05:51 |
| home | I think 10.04 is more stable | 05:51 |
| frankcox777 | I agee home , it is | 05:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | atleast 10.04 is a lts | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | home: use tab to complete it | 05:51 |
| chaospsychex | why is more stable? | 05:51 |
| shcherbak | home: you can TAB us3<TAB> | 05:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | so after 2012 happens I'll still be using 10.04 | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | frankcox777: use tab to complete it | 05:51 |
| bonjoyee | j101: try sudo dpkg -i nameofvnc.deb ..and see what exact errors are? | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | frankcox777: type 'us' then press TAB | 05:52 |
| Diamondcite | Kiyiko: Instead of sharing that system, have that system access a shared windows folder. | 05:52 |
| j101 | I'm not on the server right now. | 05:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chaospsychex: i have problems with 64 versus 32 alot more lately. It's more stable seeing that it has been out longer | 05:52 |
| home | What :/ | 05:52 |
| VivekRp | home, what is command to start gdm | 05:52 |
| chaospsychex | im running 10.10 64 | 05:52 |
| j101 | Like I said, It's not a big deal. I was just curious. I'll just use another vnc server. | 05:52 |
| home | VivekRp: sudo gdm start | 05:52 |
| j101 | Thanks, for the comments though. | 05:53 |
| home | VivekRp: I personally like logging in without user login | 05:53 |
| chaospsychex | does unetbootin do any compression when it puts the files on the usb drive? | 05:53 |
| shcherbak | frankcox777: stange, run 10.10 in 3 machines, and any of them gave me any trouble... | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | home: you dont have o type ful nicks, just type the first few chars then hit TAB | 05:53 |
| frankcox777 | I was not complaining about the long names, I always use tab | 05:53 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | home: you change your runlevel to run without X ? | 05:53 |
| home | ActionParsnip: Awsome | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | home: types it for you, so nicks with mixed case/numbers are a breeze | 05:53 |
| bonjoyee | chaospsychex:no | 05:53 |

| frankcox777 | 23:52:32 home: user friendly: Why does your name have to be so long .. its so user unfriendly | 05:54 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | home: it can be done... I thought that was what you were talking about | 05:54 |
| bonjoyee | chaospsychex: no...it just extract them to usb and them makes the usb bootable using syslinux | 05:54 |
| chaospsychex | what is syslinux? | 05:55 |
| home | frankbro: lol | 05:55 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | home: I'm almost 100% sure you can add a inittab to /etc/ | 05:55 |
| bonjoyee | chaospsychex: u dont need to worry about that...unetbootin will take care of that | 05:55 |
| frankcox777 | without auto complete terminal would be a drag | 05:56 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | home: and it'll run from that...just like xorg.conf | 05:56 |
| home | Us3r_Unfriendly: sure... | 05:57 |
| chanux | I put a command that should run in su previleges in bashrc. But it says it doesn't have privileges. What should I do? | 05:57 |

| chanux | it used to work, but recently it gives an error, perhaps after the kernel update | 05:59 |
| shcherbak | chanux: you mean real patch or bash substitute? | 05:59 |
| chanux | I felt a difference. Dunno if it's just the placebo effect :) | 05:59 |

| VivekRp | how to fix it | 06:03 |
| VivekRp | ? | 06:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cretx: so it's a "Realtek" model: "rtl818" or is rt818 the driver being used? | 06:03 |
| beemer | question, how do I change the default ownership of removable media? | 06:03 |
| cretx | is a realtek rtl8187 | 06:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | beemer: chmod works for that situation | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | VivekRp: i've seen this before, let me search | 06:04 |
| shcherbak | chanux: you took fix from webupd8? have you used ubuntu method? | 06:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | beemer: man chmod then use it were the usb device is mounted to | 06:04 |
| user__ | hi people | 06:04 |
| user__ | I need your help | 06:04 |
| chanux | shcherbak, yeah. I used the ubuntu method and it had no problems untly recently. | 06:05 |
| beemer | Us3r_Unfriendly: true, but what about whenever something is connected.. can I always have it default to a certin user or is it only who's running the window manager? | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | VivekRp: try: sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.default | 06:05 |
| user__ | how do i setup a vpn on my laptop? | 06:05 |

| ActionParsnip | it's defaults not default. irssi is being weird | 06:06 |
| VivekRp | Okay. Ill try | 06:06 |
| beemer | ok another question, how do I flip the orientation of the getty console? | 06:06 |
| beemer | my monitor is mounted upside down.. | 06:06 |

| linux_probe | o-O | 06:07 |
| Amitabha | to those who were helping me earlier, it is finally working and I thank you very much for your help | 06:07 |
| beemer | ive searched all over about this one | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | VivekRp: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/269244 seems to say: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel sorts it | 06:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | beemer: system>preferences>monitor is what your looking for | 06:07 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: u mean the live usb? | 06:07 |
| Amitabha | yes | 06:07 |
| beemer | that doesn't effect the console though | 06:07 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: nice to hear | 06:07 |
| beemer | only xwindows | 06:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | bonjoyee: oops misread | 06:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | beemer: oops misread | 06:08 |
| beemer | ya np | 06:08 |
| Amitabha | thx bonjoyee | 06:08 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: by the way..what method worked? | 06:08 |
| Amitabha | using an older disk | 06:08 |
| Amitabha | the new disk would not work with the cd-rom driver (or whatever you call it) | 06:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cretx: which card is it? The realtek rtl8187L, realtek rtl8187B, or realtek rtl8187SE | 06:09 |
| cretx | hey beemer how log is your monitor upside down | 06:09 |
| cretx | ? | 06:09 |
| shcherbak | chanux: what is error message? | 06:09 |
| Amitabha | so I burned ubuntu to an older disk | 06:09 |
| beemer | cretx: its physically upside down, so i told xwindows to flip 180 degrees, but console is still upside down | 06:10 |
| beemer | i wanted to know if there was an arg i could pass to getty or something to get it to flip vertically | 06:10 |
| bonjoyee | Amitabha: and then created a live-usb? | 06:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | beemer: why is it physically upside down?? | 06:10 |
| beemer | because thats the way it works best | 06:10 |
| beemer | it allowed me to screw the base of it and mount it to a shelf | 06:11 |
| cretx | im sure | 06:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | beemer: i'm lost but okay...what ever floats your computer's boat | 06:11 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | shcherbak: youtube nixie pixel | 06:29 |
| dnivra | BacTalan, i don't think so. I think you'll need to mount them. but you may need to set boot flag too i guess. | 06:29 |
| dnivra | !dvd | venilsurya | 06:29 |
| ubottu | venilsurya: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

| venilsurya | Yeah, did that | 06:29 |
| flt | i am a green hand what things should I do first for ubuntu | 06:30 |
| BacTalan | dnivra: Would setting the boot flag be the only thing I'd need to do after copying all of the files? (I assume cp would get everything it'd need?) | 06:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | venilsurya: mplayer dvd:// does this work? | 06:30 |
| r00t4rd3d | flt , break it | 06:30 |
| dnivra | BacTalan, no you'll need to update grub too i suppose. i've not really moved windows partitions; just deleted them :). | 06:30 |

| BacTalan | I bought an SSD for a speed upgrade, but found that Ubuntu+HDD was about 90% as fast as Windows+SSD | 06:31 |
| shcherbak | Us3r_Unfriendly: cat miau > /dev/null | 06:31 |
| BacTalan | so Windows is being archived to the HDD and the SSD goes in my laptop | 06:31 |
| dnivra | BacTalan, but i guess it should be enough-mount the drives, copy the files, update grub. if it complains, you can try setting the boot flag too. worth a shot. | 06:31 |
| venilsurya | <Us3r_Unfriendly> It says encryptable dvd support unavailable. So I guess the missing packages were the problem | 06:32 |
| BacTalan | dnivra: Thanks :) | 06:32 |
| venilsurya | I'll try that as well as burning using the DVD option | 06:32 |
| dnivra | BacTalan, np :) | 06:32 |

| C00re | sorry, had no good answer :p | 08:34 |
| geirha | nirazio: Should be, yes, though it's complicated. | 08:34 |
| struan | haven't thought of THAT ;D | 08:34 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: First, install simple-ccsm and compizconfig-settings-manager. Then go to sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and select Custom. Next, start ccsm (sys>prefs>ccsm) and navigate to Move Window plugin (type move in the filter box in the upper left of ccsm) and click on move plugin. Change (or disable) Initiate Move there | 08:35 |
| soreau | done. | 08:36 |
| === user__ is now known as Goofy | ||
| cg_cnu | soreau: On my way..... | 08:36 |
| Goofy | just a point of confirmation? Can a VPN setup be run on a single standalone machine? | 08:37 |
| steven | does someone know if there a install for finding people | 08:37 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: do i need to install both or one of them... | 08:38 |
| jmad980 | steven: what do you mean by "finding people"? | 08:38 |
| r00t4rd3d | lol | 08:38 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: Read my instructions carefully | 08:38 |
| steven | jmad980:i looking for my dad and i thought there could be a add on | 08:40 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: sorry I am a noob in linux. This is the 4th day in ubuntu. so...In order to download I just have to type the name in the ubuntu software centre isn't it. | 08:40 |
| jmad980 | steven: nope ^-^ | 08:40 |
| steven | thank you | 08:40 |
| r00t4rd3d | you can call me dad if you want :D | 08:41 |
| steven | piss off | 08:41 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: I prefer the cli. In terminal you would do sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:41 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: I am going for terminal. | 08:41 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: got it. | 08:43 |
| kevin__ | thanks root | 08:44 |
| kevin__ | i got my wireless working | 08:44 |
| r00t4rd3d | lol you get it going ? | 08:44 |
| kevin__ | yeah | 08:44 |
| kevin__ | thanks ttyl | 08:44 |
| r00t4rd3d | k , later | 08:44 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: how to get move window plugin....there is no filter option. | 08:45 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: You probably started simple-ccsm instead of ccsm. In the menu, ccsm is called CompizConfig Settings Manager | 08:46 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: Or, just run ccsm in your terminal as user | 08:47 |
| r00t4rd3d | its listed under Window Management in CCSM | 08:47 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: oh.........thank you. Exactly i did the same. | 08:47 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: now how to remove the move.....? | 08:48 |
| r00t4rd3d | just uncheck it | 08:48 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: Read my instructions carefully | 08:48 |
| soreau | r00t4rd3d: No | 08:48 |
| soreau | Do not uncheck the plugin or else you wont be able to move any window | 08:48 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: do I have to disable both..... | 08:49 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: No | 08:49 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: Just initiate window for the mouse icon, the one that has set Alt_Button1 | 08:49 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: Button1 is left click | 08:50 |
| soreau | you can change it to any binding you want or just disable it | 08:50 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: its still not working.......do I have to restart. | 08:51 |
| soreau | ! work | cg_cnu | 08:51 |
| ubottu | cg_cnu: 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. | 08:51 |
| soreau | It should take effect immediately if you changed or disabled it correctly | 08:51 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: Otherwise, restart compiz by going back to sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and selecting None (to start metacity) then Custom again (to restart compiz) | 08:52 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: oh.......sorry man. I again opened blender and checkd it. I am facing the same problem which I told in the begining. Do I have to restart the pc. | 08:52 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: ok ok.....i will do. | 08:52 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: If it still does not work, screen shot the move settings window and post it to picpaste.com | 08:53 |
| cg_cnu | soreau: ok.....i will. | 08:53 |

| NekoIncardine | Good evening. I am a user having issues finding the exact methods on how to solve an error that seems to have occured in a rash recently, related to my /dev/sda5 partition (UNR 10.10 root partition) having become read-only due to a failure. | 09:02 |

| lazycat | what | 09:02 |
| soreau | Amitabha: Does iwconfig show an interface for it? | 09:03 |
| NekoIncardine | The problem is, my attempts to run fsck on /dev/sda5 have been giving me the "Device or Resource busy" error... And trying 'sudo umount /dev/sda5' does not help. | 09:03 |
| Amitabha | what is iwconfig? | 09:03 |
| NekoIncardine | (I am on the problem machine via a live USB; this is my Windows box, right next to it.) | 09:03 |

| r00t4rd3d | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1208438 | 09:03 |
| NekoIncardine | Myrtti: It should not be as I am running via LiveUSB, and when I attempt umount, it claims that it is not mounted. | 09:03 |
| Myrtti | NekoIncardine: if it is, you can try to make a file called "forcefsck" on the root of the partition filesystem and reboot | 09:03 |
| === nanget is now known as SurfTranquille | ||
| Myrtti | NekoIncardine: it should do a fsck on reboot if that file exists | 09:04 |
| NekoIncardine | Sadly, attempting to mount it through the disk utility or file manager does not work. Here I'll try so I can get the error message. | 09:04 |

| shrikanth | @soreau http://pastebin.com/X17ay3rp | 09:10 |

| NekoIncardine | "not mounted" | 09:26 |
| soreau | NekoIncardine: You never want to run fsck on a mounted filesystem - you need to unmount it first (with umount) | 09:26 |

| soreau | Amitabha: The print screen button on your keyboard.. | 09:27 |
| NekoIncardine | soreau: umount does not report it as mounted! | 09:27 |

| kontagious | (this is memory from my first semester linux class) | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | i have edited /etc/default/grub | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | nit-wit: yes - one OS | 09:29 |
| soreau | cg_cnu: I dont understand that. When you disable Initiate Move, it should take effect immediately no matter what setting. Alternatively use metacity but I dont know how to disable Alt+Left Click with it (perhaps sys>prefs>keyboard preferences) | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | it was deployed with an image from clonezilla | 09:29 |
| nit-wit | nightcrow, edited the time out to what | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | to 3 | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | i have also commented out the default timeout | 09:30 |
| era878 | nit-wit, at the bottom of the screen it says "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" how can I install the netbook edition? | 09:30 |
| sin_tax | As a rule, does ATi or nVidia usually have better drivers for Ubuntu? | 09:30 |
| nit-wit | nightcrow, are you just not seeing grub | 09:30 |

| Weazel | replicasex: just a sec, let me find u the thread i followed, really simple step by step | 09:31 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: i cant :( its on a seperate network that isnt connected to the internet | 09:31 |
| sin_tax | soreau, yeah, force of habit on the name... =] thanks | 09:31 |
| era878 | nit-wit, what ? | 09:31 |
| kontagious | soreau: does this line look right to you?: NTFS /storage NTFS NTFS DEFAULTS 0 0 | 09:31 |
| soreau | kontagious: No | 09:31 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: Look in that file and see if you see "recordfail" there. | 09:31 |
| kontagious | <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> right? | 09:31 |
| replicasex | Weazel, nevermind, I'm just an idiot :) | 09:31 |
| yop129 | why isn't truecrypt in the repos? | 09:32 |
| nit-wit | nightcrow, did you remove any of these ## | 09:32 |
| Weazel | replicasex: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/awn-lucido-gets-its-own-ppa.html anyways, if someone else is in need :D | 09:32 |
| soreau | kontagious: Something like this: /dev/sda1/mnt/sda1ntfs-3g00 | 09:32 |
| nightcrow | nope | 09:32 |
| nit-wit | era878, I don't know how, and the netbook desktop is called unity | 09:32 |
| KoNvIcT | errr uhhhm | 09:32 |
| kontagious | 1st token has to be file system does it not? | 09:33 |
| era878 | nit-wit, is there a way to solve this problem | 09:33 |
| Amitabha | picpaste.com/Screenshot-1-uX2XbSKE.png | 09:34 |
| era878 | nit-wit, when i logout it says ubuntu desktop edition, not ubuntu netbook edition | 09:34 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: i just see loads of ################### | 09:34 |
| nightcrow | in that file | 09:34 |
| NekoIncardine | soreau: And I realized you probably meant for me to type in ONLY mount so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545864 | 09:34 |
| nightcrow | int /boot/grub/grubenv | 09:34 |
| nit-wit | era878, do you hava link to the cd you downloaded | 09:34 |
| nightcrow | nit-wit: i didnt remove any | 09:34 |
| yop129 | why idn't truecrypt in the ubuntu repos? | 09:35 |
| era878 | nit-wit, http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: That's normal. But it means that the reason for no timeout wasn't what I suspected. | 09:35 |
| soreau | Amitabha: The up and down arrow pair is what you should be looking at.. when you click on it, does it show the wifi APs? | 09:35 |
| nightcrow | ok Jordan_U | 09:35 |
| nightcrow | :-/ | 09:35 |
| nikre | How can i control fan speed? I use ubuntu 10.10 64bit. | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: What is the value of the various GRUB*_TIMEOUT= variables in /etc/default/grub ? | 09:36 |
| kennetham | hi does anybody have any idea how to set socks proxy in terminal shell | 09:36 |
| soreau | NekoIncardine: Have you tried rebooting? It seems sda5 is in a funky state there | 09:36 |
| Amitabha | if, by aps you mean wireless networks, yes | 09:36 |
| NekoIncardine | soreau: By my count, seven times. | 09:36 |
| pfui | is there an equivalent of debian tasksel's laptop task in ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: checking | 09:37 |
| soreau | Amitabha: Ok so just connect to one. I dont understand what your problem is | 09:37 |
| replicasex | Weazel, this is very nice, though I miss the lively zoom effect of docky. What applets (besides the main menu, notification area stuff) do you recommend? | 09:37 |
| kennetham | i have a proxy server. but my terminal have not been connected to socks proxy. the network proxy is enabled. but how can i set the socks proxy on terminal as well? | 09:37 |
| NekoIncardine | soreau: Currently I am on a liveUSB. Do you want me to do anything specific before/after restarting? | 09:37 |
| nit-wit | era878, thats the netbook version, not really sure use the Ubuntu forums for help as well, I have to crash. | 09:37 |
| soreau | NekoIncardine: Not sure what is wrong then. Try asking in ##linux for more technical support | 09:37 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: 0, true, 10 | 09:37 |
| era878 | okay | 09:37 |
| NekoIncardine | Curse you overflow channels! | 09:38 |
| Weazel | replicasex: well, if u are a theme lover like me, i can show u my desktop and u decide how AWN can be intergrated with coolness :D -- > http://img17.imageshack.us/g/desktop1u.png/ | 09:39 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: those are respective in the order that they are location in grub | 09:39 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: Then it really should load an entry automatically. Can you try once more just to be sure? (it may be still related to recordfail, but an intermittent problem). | 09:39 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: sure | 09:39 |
| era878 | can anyone tell me why my ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition looks like the desktop edition? | 09:39 |
| nightcrow | will let you know when it boots | 09:39 |
| Rickardo1 | I need to know how to use server 1 as a gateway.. I can connect to internet from this one and on the server behind this I configure network interface with the server1´s ip as gateway.. do I need to activate something on server1? | 09:40 |
| NekoIncardine | THank you for the assistance you have attempted to provide, soreau. I'll try the suggested channel now. | 09:40 |
| delta-class | I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files? | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | era878: Probably because you don't have 3D accelleration (which is required for the netbook interface). | 09:40 |
| soreau | NekoIncardine: No problem. | 09:40 |
| alesan | hi, how do I find all the packages that depend on a given library? | 09:40 |

| kennetham | please advise | 09:40 |
| yop129 | why isn't truecrypt in the ubuntu repos? | 09:41 |
| era878 | Jordan-U, to get 3D acceleration would it require drivers or a new video card | 09:41 |
| soreau | era878: Which gpu do you have? | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | yop129: licensing issues. | 09:41 |
| era878 | soreau, what is gpu? | 09:41 |
| soreau | era878: lspci|grep VGA | 09:41 |
| yop129 | Jordan_U, hmm, weird, so do i need ot get it from their site? | 09:41 |
| soreau | era878: gpu = Graphics Processing Unit | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | era878: Drivers (though you may be unlucky enough that there are no working 3D drivers for your card). | 09:41 |
| era878 | okay | 09:42 |
| era878 | Jordan_U, do you think I could get the 3D drivers from the intel website? | 09:42 |
| era878 | soreau, after typing "lspci | grep VGA" terminal says "00:02 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)" | 09:43 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: still doesnt work | 09:43 |

| student | fg | 09:44 |
| soreau | era878: Oh that kinda sucks but you still should have 3D acceleration.. what does glxinfo|grep renderer say? (and what problem are you having exactly?) | 09:44 |
| replicasex | Weazel, gonna stick with docky I think though the lucido style was really nice :) | 09:45 |
| era878 | soreau, my netbook install looks like the desktop edition | 09:45 |
| Weazel | replicasex: :D | 09:45 |
| soreau | era878: Why is that a problem? | 09:45 |
| prymal | era878: it's the same destkop environment just cut down install | 09:45 |
| soreau | era878: Are you sure you installed from the correct ubuntu image? | 09:46 |
| era878 | soreau, yes | 09:46 |
| era878 | soreau, i have all the unity packages | 09:46 |
| delta-class | I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I copy one folder structure onto the other without copying the files? | 09:46 |
| era878 | soreau, glxinfo says that "glxinfo is currently not installed" | 09:47 |
| soreau | Why does no one ever see through that? | 09:47 |
| soreau | You have to install it to use it :P | 09:47 |
| hutanting | 有 | 09:48 |
| era878 | soreau, glxinfo says" OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer" | 09:48 |
| soreau | era878: Ok that means your drivers are broken. Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com | 09:49 |

| r00t4rd3d | lol i forget the command | 09:55 |
| Jordan_U | era878: You're welcome. | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | r00t4rd3d: Every version of Ubuntu has had a 2.6 kernel. There are very few distros that didn't switch to 2.6 years ago. | 09:57 |
| rigved | chaospsychex: i don't understand your question...do you want to boot to another OS like Windows? | 09:57 |

| delta-class | OK, I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I MOVE fiilesA to match the structure of filesB? | 09:58 |
| Jordan_U | doctordoctor: It depends on what the exact problem is that caused you to get the rescue prompt. Do you see any error message? | 09:58 |
| doctordoctor | nope...just grub rescue. i changed a hard drive patition | 09:59 |
| lept0n | Hi ! I have an issue with the update manager, whenever i try to apply the updates another window popsup saying that this requires installation from untrusted packages, i want the updates nevertheless. what to do ? | 09:59 |
| doctordoctor | and unfortunately i have a live cd or usb handy | 09:59 |
| === david is now known as s3r3n1t7 | ||

| s3r3n1t7 | Why does my mouse vanish when I hit the top of my screen (and how can I fix it?) | 09:59 |
| NekoIncardine | lept0n: I believe it should provide you the ability to put in your root password to override. | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | doctordoctor: Ok. Any time you repartition you should re-run grub-install. If the number of your /boot/ partition has changed you can just fix the $prefix variable. | 10:00 |
| lept0n | i put my password in but still i cannot go ahead with the installation, it just stops after the warning message | 10:00 |
| era878 | soreau, here is my xorg.0.log "http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/545875/" | 10:00 |
| doctordoctor | but repartigtioned using gparted iso | 10:00 |
| NekoIncardine | lept0n: You may have to update those specific packages without the update manager, then. Sadly, I don't know how to do that, at this point | 10:01 |
| delta-class | OK, I have two sets of identical files, but with different folder structures. How can I MOVE fiilesA to match the structure of filesB? | 10:02 |
| doctordoctor | i think u need to change something at the sources manager | 10:02 |
| doctordoctor | NekoIncardine: ...try running sou | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | doctordoctor: Run "set" to see the current value of $prefix, then look at the list of partitions grub sees with "ls", then run "prefix=(hdX,msdosY)/boot/grub/; insmod normal; normal" where (hdX,msdosY) is one of the devices listed by "ls". | 10:02 |

| lorenzosu | maco, s3r3n1t7 Ah ok thanks great | 10:03 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sneha_chitre, i think you are in the wrong channel. | 10:03 |
| doctordoctor | Jordan_U: do i run that at the grub rescue prompt | 10:03 |
| sneha_chitre | which channel should i use? | 10:03 |
| r00t4rd3d | Aminzai, i got mine to work :/ | 10:04 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sneha_chitre, the one that's related to the language you're using. | 10:04 |
| era878 | soreau, are you still there? | 10:04 |
| doctordoctor | lept0n: try running software sources and check the box that says unsupported source | 10:04 |
| soreau | era878: That is horrible looking. I would complain in #intel-gfx (kinda pointless, but just to make me feel better) | 10:04 |
| era878 | soreau, what do you suggest? | 10:05 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Why does my mouse vanish when I hit the top of my screen (and how can I fix it?) | 10:05 |
| sneha_chitre | i tried joining python | 10:05 |
| doctordoctor | s3r3n1t7: top left or right? | 10:05 |
| Jordan_U | doctordoctor: Yes. | 10:05 |
| sacarlson | delta-class sounds like you would need to write some kind of a bash script or maybe ruby or other. can you just copy both to a single flat folder with no subs? | 10:05 |
| s3r3n1t7 | doctordoctor, not specific, just the top. Everywhere, from the top left to top right and anwhere in between. | 10:05 |
| doctordoctor | Jordan_U: ok. | 10:05 |
| lept0n | doctordoctor:still the same | 10:06 |
| doctordoctor | s3r3n1t7: extended deskttop perhaps? | 10:06 |
| soreau | era878: You could try xorg-edgers repo to get the latest driver bits.. | 10:06 |
| doctordoctor | lept0n: that helped me when it happened to me. | 10:06 |
| doctordoctor | try running sudo apt-get update again | 10:06 |
| s3r3n1t7 | doctordoctor, extended to where? it's literally the top few pixels and i can't do anything. I should probably also note that it started on a fresh install | 10:06 |
| era878 | soreau, ill try that | 10:06 |

| soreau | era878: Otherwise you could just curse your onboard gpu and get a card for your agp slot assuming you have one | 10:07 |
| doctordoctor | s3r3n1t7: additionally, u could disable all the sources except for the ubuntu ones. and try it again | 10:07 |

| s3r3n1t7 | bullgard, you didn't ask to explain the word associated. In this context it means connected. Please don't make such comments when people are trying to help you. | 10:18 |
| alpine101 | anyone know best guide to enable the framebuffer? | 10:18 |
| ZDWAY2010 | wine does not support all exe operation | 10:19 |
| bullgard | soreau: I do not suspect a hidden meaning. I'd expect a precise definition of 'associated' in this program. | 10:19 |
| soreau | Kingcope: FWIW, linux graphics driver devs are implementing DX10/11 so directX can be used natively with linux AFAIU | 10:19 |
| ZDWAY2010 | I have try to install visualbasic 6 in ubuntu it fail :( | 10:19 |
| llutz | bullgard: "not associated" ~ not connected to an AP (or has no APs essid) AP=AccessPoint | 10:19 |
| alpine101 | its a microsoft product zdway -- maybe it runs under wine? or maybe you can use VNC | 10:20 |
| ikonia | ZDWAY2010: that's not going to work, please don't bother | 10:20 |
| ZDWAY2010 | vnc for connectin not for run app. | 10:20 |
| alpine101 | VNC = running windows in a little window on ubuntu -- you need much memory for that | 10:20 |
| soreau | bullgard: iwconfigs purpose is not to define words but to use them just like any other english text. webster or google can explain to you what any word means, including the word associated | 10:20 |
| === andrewss is now known as zwt | ||
| bullgard | s3r3n1t7: In contrast to what you said I indeed asked for an precise explanation of the word "associated". | 10:21 |
| ikonia | bullgard: paired | 10:21 |
| soreau | bullgard: Defining english words is not specific to ubuntu | 10:22 |
| ZDWAY2010 | really ubuntu not like windows | 10:22 |
| ZDWAY2010 | windows easy 2 use | 10:22 |
| soreau | ! u | ZDWAY2010 | 10:22 |
| ubottu | ZDWAY2010: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 10:22 |
| ZDWAY2010 | hahah sory | 10:23 |
| ZDWAY2010 | i mean | 10:23 |
| alpine101 | zdway stop trolling | 10:23 |
| ZDWAY2010 | u = you | 10:23 |
| ZDWAY2010 | ur = you are | 10:23 |
| alpine101 | nobodody here cares about windows | 10:23 |
| ZDWAY2010 | that is shortcut | 10:23 |
| ZDWAY2010 | yea I know no one care about it | 10:23 |
| ikonia | ok, guys, gentle heads up, the topic of this channel is Ubuntu support discussion only, lets keep to that | 10:23 |
| pfui | is there an equivalent of debian tasksel's laptop task in ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | bullgard, your question was, What does iwconfig mean by "associated" precisely, which has been answered multiple times thus far. As soreau also said, we're not here to explain the English language for you. | 10:24 |
| era878 | soreau, what do i do after: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:24 |
| soreau | ZDWAY2010: Windows is also a shortcut. Go pay for it and troll in their channel, #windows | 10:24 |
| bullgard | llutz: Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it. | 10:24 |
| ZDWAY2010 | no no please | 10:24 |
| ZDWAY2010 | you don't understand me | 10:24 |
| soreau | era878: Restart X by logging out. If it installed a kernel, reboot as well | 10:24 |
| ZDWAY2010 | I'm not like windows | 10:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ZDWAY2010, do you have a support question? If so, please ask that. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | ZDWAY2010: do you have an ubuntu support question, yes or no | 10:24 |
| soreau | ! ask | ZDWAY2010 | 10:24 |
| ubottu | ZDWAY2010: 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. :-) | 10:24 |
| ZDWAY2010 | yes | 10:25 |
| ikonia | ZDWAY2010: ask your ubuntu support question then please. | 10:25 |
| ZDWAY2010 | thnx ikonia | 10:25 |
| soreau | ZDWAY2010: And since this is #ubuntu, we only entertain questions pertaining directly to ubuntu | 10:25 |
| era878 | soreau, I restarted and it still looks like the desktop version does that mean I am F***d | 10:25 |
| ikonia | era878: control the language, staring out words is not acceptable | 10:25 |
| bullgard | ikonia: I took notice. -- Thank you. | 10:25 |
| ZDWAY2010 | ok soreau | 10:25 |
| era878 | ikonia, sorry | 10:26 |
| ZDWAY2010 | i'm coming here to ask about which is better ? | 10:26 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ZDWAY2010, that's not a support question. | 10:26 |
| soreau | era878: Does the current X log have the same series of duplicate messages? | 10:26 |
| ZDWAY2010 | no one understand me !!!!!! | 10:26 |
| ikonia | ZDWAY2010: if your next question is not an ubuntu question you will be removed from the channel | 10:26 |
| era878 | soreau, let me check | 10:26 |
| ZDWAY2010 | ok sorry | 10:26 |
| soreau | ZDWAY2010: In this channel, ubuntu is always better. If you ask in #windows, their OS is better | 10:26 |
| soreau | ! best | ZDWAY2010 | 10:26 |
| ubottu | ZDWAY2010: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:26 |
| ZDWAY2010 | I'm coming to lean please | 10:27 |
| soreau | ZDWAY2010: What is your native language? | 10:27 |
| AdvoWork | how can I convert: drwxrwxrwx to a number? is there some online converter I can use for quickly working it out?ie copy/paste | 10:27 |
| era878 | soreau, the duplicate messages are gone | 10:27 |
| ZDWAY2010 | SA | 10:27 |
| Stormx2` | soreau, I was about to ask the same thing | 10:27 |
| soreau | era878: Can you paste the log then? | 10:27 |
| era878 | soreau, yes | 10:28 |
| ZDWAY2010 | in my country no support 4 ubuntu !!!! | 10:28 |
| Stormx2` | ZDWAY2010: Which country is that? | 10:28 |
| sacarlson | AdvoWork: try stat -c%a\ %n * | 10:28 |
| soreau | ! sa | ZDWAY2010 | 10:28 |
| ubottu | ZDWAY2010: For the Saudi Arabia team : /join #ubuntu-sa : للانظمام الى قناة الفريق السعودي - For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية | 10:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Stormx2`, south africa or saudi arabia | 10:28 |
| ZDWAY2010 | that reason let me came 2 here to know which is good 2 use OS !!!! | 10:28 |
| era878 | soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/545890/ | 10:29 |
| bullgard | alpine101: See /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.31/Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt | 10:31 |
| soreau | era878: Its not even trying to load the intel driver which makes me wonder if your card is even supported by it (the intel driver module) | 10:33 |
| era878 | soreau, how can i tell if the card is supported | 10:33 |
| alpine101 | ty bullgard | 10:34 |
| soreau | era878: TBH, I dont know | 10:36 |
| soreau | era878: I figured since the 830 and later is supported, your 852 would be too. | 10:36 |
| chaospsychex | so i got win7 installed and now grub is gone ;-( how do i get it back? | 10:37 |
| chaospsychex | cant boot into ubuntu | 10:37 |
| era878 | soreau, should i try to install the dektop version or can i stay with unity | 10:37 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | chaospsychex | 10:37 |
| ubottu | chaospsychex: 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 | 10:37 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way to do an ls -all but do it in date modifed descending order? | 10:37 |

| Shane`` | Hello, i got a Question, I just clicked on a Site wih "Java-Drive-By", can anything happen to me?! | 10:38 |
| soreau | era878: As I understand it, unity will come with the next installment of ubuntu, implemented with compiz (not gnome-shell) | 10:38 |
| soreau | era878: But as Jordan_U said, if you dont have 3D, you are pretty much screwed out of the whole unity thing | 10:38 |
| soreau | Well not in those words, but yes ;) | 10:38 |
| era878 | soreau, okay so basically stay with my non 3D version of netbook or should I install the desktop version? | 10:39 |
| r00t4rd3d | lol my 20 dollar usb wireless card gets a better signal then my 80 dollar pci card with an external antenna. | 10:39 |
| soreau | era878: You can however get some kind of feedback from #ubuntu-x (providers of xorg-edgers repo) if you are patient enough | 10:40 |
| nibbler__ | r00t4rd3d, i made the same experience | 10:40 |
| era878 | ill try that | 10:40 |
| era878 | thanks for your help | 10:40 |
| r00t4rd3d | ralink vs linksys | 10:40 |
| soreau | era878: I am kinda curious as to why X isnt even trying to load the intel driver for your card (maybe its entirely unsupported, I dont know) | 10:40 |
| era878 | soreau, what should i ask ubuntu-x | 10:41 |
| r00t4rd3d | is there any benefit to having 2 working wireless cards installed ? | 10:41 |
| Jordan_U | era878: You may get better results with https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates or the edgers PPA, but both are also likely to cause instability. | 10:41 |
| soreau | era878: Show them the log of your last pastebin here and ask why its loading the vesa driver instead of intel | 10:41 |
| era878 | soreau, okay | 10:42 |
| sacarlson | r00t4rd3d: if you want to do a "man-in-the-middle attack" at the airport it's cool to have two, other wise not sure I can think of a use for them. | 10:42 |
| era878 | Jordan_U, what do you me as in results? | 10:42 |
| soreau | era878: and wair for at least 12 hours :P | 10:42 |
| rigved | how do i mount vbox_additions.iso using command line? | 10:42 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: He already has installed xorg-edgers.. is that something different? | 10:42 |
| soreau | era878: wait* | 10:42 |
| era878 | okay | 10:43 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: It's more stable than -edgers, I didn't realize he'd already tried -edgers. I doubt -updates will be any better with regard to 3D. | 10:43 |
| soreau | era878: You have to wait for sarvatt to wake up ;) | 10:44 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: Yea, its not even attempting to load intel but jumping straight to vesa which makes me wonder if his chipset is even supported at all | 10:44 |
| era878 | soreau, sarvatt the edgers ppa guy? | 10:45 |
| rigved | what is the command to mount vbox_additions.iso using command line? is it - mount -t cdrom /media/VboxAdditions | 10:45 |
| soreau | era878: Right | 10:45 |
| chaospsychex | i've already got grub installed,how to i get it to show back up when i boot | 10:45 |
| era878 | okay, ill try that tommorow | 10:45 |
| Jordan_U | chaospsychex: Hold shift during boot. | 10:45 |
| bdmz | hello everyone | 10:46 |
| bdmz | anyone here? | 10:46 |
| Amitabha | hello again- wireless usb device appears to be working but I can not use it to go online | 10:46 |
| Jordan_U | chaospsychex: Actually, since you just installed windows run "sudo update-grub" and in addition to adding an entry for windows it should unhide the grub menu. | 10:47 |
| soreau | era878: If you ask a valid question in #ubuntu-x and idle, you should get an answer in a reasonable amount of time | 10:47 |
| Amitabha | i see the network listed | 10:47 |
| Amitabha | it asks for the password | 10:47 |
| era878 | soreau, do you suggest i ask now or tommorow morning? | 10:47 |
| Amitabha | and does not work | 10:47 |
| turin | Amitabha, Can you try another network? | 10:48 |
| sacarlson | Amitabha: if it's an option try turn you wifi access point encryption off. | 10:48 |
| soreau | era878: You can ask whenever you like but make sure to not ask-n-leave. Wait for at least 6-12 hours then ask again | 10:48 |
| rigved | never mind, figured it out. :) | 10:48 |
| Amitabha | no, only one network | 10:49 |
| sacarlson | Amitabha: I think some wifi devices are having problems with wpa encryption. the other posible thing is the wpa package | 10:49 |
| bdmz | does anyone know how /etc/environment gets loaded during startup? | 10:49 |
| era878 | soreau, thanks for your help im off to ubuntu-x | 10:49 |
| soreau | Amitabha: What encryption type? | 10:49 |
| deeeed | hi | 10:49 |
| Amitabha | it says wpa and wpa2 | 10:49 |
| soreau | era878: They should be able to tell you what is right or wrong (make sure to post your X log) | 10:49 |
| era878 | okay | 10:49 |
| r00t4rd3d | Amitabha, im on with my ralink :D | 10:50 |
| Amitabha | cool | 10:50 |
| sacarlson | Amitabha: another option that sounds like you can't do it set your encryption of your wifi network to wep instead of wpa. | 10:50 |
| r00t4rd3d | Amitabha, how did you get it up ? blacklist the rt2800usb ? | 10:51 |
| soreau | r00t4rd3d: It was already up.. | 10:51 |
| tan_ | hello , I come from China,and this is the first time I enter this chatroom ,There is something just puzzled me .who can give me a hand | 10:52 |
| tan_ | ??? | 10:52 |
| tan_ | thanks | 10:52 |
| soreau | He just cant use it to connect successfully | 10:52 |
| Amitabha | I believe so | 10:52 |
| nibbler__ | Amitabha, sacarlson: if you switch to WEP yuo can just disable security at all. WEP is worth nothing these days, just keep that in mind | 10:52 |
| chaospsychex | i was trying to install windows7 so i could use steam. no optical drive in this comp so i tried installing from my ipod touch. wouldnt work. finally i said i will install from hd and the guys in ##windows said it was to complilcated. guess what,i did it. morons...... | 10:52 |
| saykou | greatings, any one an .ICEauthority error and tried everything on the forum, and nothing worked | 10:52 |
| r00t4rd3d | Amitabha, from internet "Just like the above poster, mines was detected but could not detect any access points. | 10:52 |
| r00t4rd3d | But blacklisting the rt2800usb module (and then rebooting) did the trick!A" | 10:52 |
| soreau | nibbler__: Its worth two bits for the guy that doesnt know WEP is useless ;) | 10:52 |
| r00t4rd3d | tell me when you want to get it working | 10:53 |
| chaospsychex | half of those ppl in that channel don't even know what they are talking about | 10:53 |
| soreau | Better to just use MAC address filtering | 10:53 |
| rigved | how do i install dmks? i cannot find in the repos... | 10:53 |
| sacarlson | nibbler__: that's what I first suggested just turn encryption off, but seems not posible | 10:53 |
| Amitabha | ok- do you know the code | 10:53 |
| rigved | !find dmks | 10:53 |
| nibbler__ | soreau, just needed to mention that, seeing that people are advised to use wep here... at least those who do it,should be aware of these facts | 10:53 |
| ubottu | File dmks found in octave3.2-htmldoc, portaudio19-doc | 10:53 |
| deeeed | I have an usb drive (hfs filesystem) which is automatically mounted as readly for my user... However I can write as root. How can I change the auto mount config so I can not only write as root but also as the current gnome user ? | 10:53 |
| zerty | hi there | 10:53 |
| zerty | i got ftp problem on my server | 10:53 |
| zerty | how to check ? | 10:54 |
| soreau | nibbler__: They will never get it. Official standards will take care of it eventually but not soon enough | 10:54 |
| zerty | ssh working fine but not ftp | 10:54 |
| zerty | is that normal ? | 10:54 |
| soreau | zerty: Is anything normal? | 10:55 |
| soreau | zerty: Try #networking | 10:55 |
| nibbler__ | zerty, well, ssh is a single connection/port thingy, ftp uses dynamically assigned ports for data connections, which with unaware firewalls might make problems, especially in NAT setups | 10:55 |
| sacarlson | nibbler__: I have cracks for wpa also, so if they want security they can still use vpn in none secured network, I don't have any cracks for that. | 10:55 |
| rigved | never mind again. found it. it's actually dkms and not dmks. :) | 10:55 |
| nibbler__ | sacarlson, your cracks wont work on proper passphrased networks or wpa/enterprise | 10:56 |
| sacarlson | nibbler__: but it's still a good thing to let people know there are security risks | 10:56 |
| nibbler__ | okays :) | 10:56 |
| sacarlson | nibbler__: your right, it won't, but most of my breakins have been like 1111111111 even in wpa | 10:57 |

| Darael | BernardV: Don't know if you're actually here, but anyway... you were giving me a hand with my wifi yesterday. Turned out /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf had got cleared somehow, so wpasupplicant couldn't start, which was blocking nm. A purge and reinstall over a wired connection sorted it. | 11:15 |
| Darael | Routers: as root: "adduser <user> admin" will put a user in the admin group which gives them sudo rights. | 11:15 |
| Weedo | how long should an ubuntu live cd take to boot into ram? | 11:15 |
| codebeaker | is there something like umask to determine the defaults for owner, and group of newly created files for a given user? Example I would set the umask appropriately to give o+rw g+r for new files created, but I want the default ownership to be owner:www-data | 11:16 |
| Darael | Routers: You may also want to add them to the "adm" group - I think you need to be in that to read some of the system logs. | 11:16 |
| codebeaker | is the group inherited from the parent directory ? | 11:16 |
| Darael | codebeaker: Set the user's default group to www-data? | 11:16 |
| dnivra | Weedo, no clear cut limit i guess. in my laptop, it takes about 5-10 minutes. | 11:16 |
| codebeaker | Darael: it's that easy ? | 11:16 |
| Weedo | has anyone ever tried distributed multihead | 11:17 |
| Darael | codebeaker: It can be. You can make the parent directory SGID, that also works. | 11:17 |
| codebeaker | Darael: which would you do? it' s for the user I'll SCP with to deploy my web app code | 11:17 |
| Weedo | has anyone ever tried distributed multihead | 11:18 |
| Darael | codebeaker: Group isn't inherited unless the parent directory is SGID, so if you're doing it in multiple places, I'd change the user's default group. | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | Routers: try man on adduser I think it's sudo adduser username grouptoaddto | 11:18 |

| codebeaker | ok, then since it's only one directory (and that makes sense, SGID on /var/www/myproject_root and then my deploy user can have normal deploy:deploy ownership everywhere else | 11:23 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: you should check out this renamer pyrenamer | 11:23 |

| === groodt_ is now known as groodt | ||
| yubahaq | i have a bad sector | 11:23 |
| chaospsychex | and the cd wont boot either | 11:23 |
| dnivra | frank__, http://galleon.sourceforge.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=92&Itemid=51 has instructions on how to. but i agree with Stormx2`, anything wrong with browsers in repos? | 11:23 |
| codebeaker | chaospsychex: gratz, Windows replaced your bootloader with it's own, you need to look at reinstalling Grub/etc | 11:23 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: Yes, but I'm leaving in a minute. Please file a bug report and subscribe me (jordanu on launchpad) so I can follow it. | 11:23 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex: cd wont boot? | 11:23 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, "this"? | 11:24 |
| berkes | chaospsychex, look for instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Installing%20Windows%20After%20Ubuntu | 11:24 |
| berkes | chaospsychex, Windows does not "tolerate" another OS on the same machine :) | 11:24 |
| yubahaq | can anyone help me with this bad sector | 11:24 |
| chaospsychex | it never did that,like syslinux is blocking the cd from booting | 11:25 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: I use it to rename all my video files to a sequence like a123.jpg a124.jpg and up | 11:25 |
| nightcrow | Jordan_U: I have never done that before | 11:26 |
| rs0832 | yubahaq: bad sectors are permanent | 11:26 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: sorry they are jpg files but after renamed in a sequence I turn them into a video | 11:26 |
| nightcrow | I will catch you later - maybe another time | 11:26 |
| nightcrow | thank you for your help. | 11:26 |
| friki | yubahaq: normally hard disks silently work around bad sectors. is that bad sector disrupting your use of the computer? | 11:26 |

| nightcrow | I will do | 11:26 |
| nightcrow | and how do i add you? | 11:26 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, and how exactly would it work? The man page isn't exactly helpful. | 11:26 |
| Weedo | is lubuntu any good? | 11:27 |
| Weazel | is there a solution for Outlook Web Access (ms exchange 2010) in 10.10 ? | 11:27 |
| yubahaq | Yes becauze it blocks somethimes and i shut the computer from the button | 11:27 |
| codebeaker | chaospsychex: nothing in linus stops a CD booting | 11:27 |
| Weazel | (besides of course using the browser) | 11:27 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: I'm not sure how it is you want to rename your files. it's a tool you need to learn but it's very powerfull | 11:27 |
| rs0832 | yubahaq: try using badblocks | 11:27 |
| friki | yubahaq: then your hard disk has reached its end of life. get a new one, and reload from backups. | 11:27 |
| Darael | Weedo: Depends what you want. It uses the Ubuntu repos so it's as good as Ubuntu in that sense, but it's lighter so it doesn't install the same apps by default | 11:28 |
| EmilioTucci | Hi all | 11:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, i have multiple directories where some files contain a word (say wordA) and i want it all renamed to something else (say thisB) | 11:28 |
| Weedo | my laptop has 256 mb of ram | 11:28 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, maybe your bios settings are stopping the disc from booting | 11:28 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: The package in this case would be "ubuntu-bug grub2". It's an option on the right of the page. If you can't figure it out it's no problem, I'll find the bug by searching. | 11:28 |
| Weazel | chaospsychex: usually in new computers, there should be a button at the POST that tells you press <key> to enter boot menu, and then you can just choose ur boot drive that you want | 11:28 |

| Ntemis | i use sabnzb and i cannot put downloads on /public/downloads | 11:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, no, i need that part of the file renamed. So say i have a file named wordA123, wordA164, i want those 2 files renamed to thisB123 and thisB164 | 11:30 |

| Syria | Darael M2727 hp printer. | 11:30 |
| Ntemis | root then public then downloads | 11:30 |
| rs0832 | Weedo: then lubuntu is a good alternative | 11:30 |
| noonian | s3r3n1t7, you could write a script : / | 11:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | noonian, the whole reason i am here, thank you. | 11:30 |

| faheem_ | Is there any flv to 3gp converter in ubuntu/??? | 11:30 |
| Ntemis | i get this | 11:30 |
| Syria | Darael Take your time. | 11:30 |
| Ntemis | Cannot create download_dir folder /Public/Downloads/Incomplete | 11:30 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: in my case I do this {X} renamed file pattern: p{num6}.jpg so a file that was thisfile.txt becomes p00001.jpg the next file will become p000002.jpg | 11:31 |
| Ntemis | how i fix this? | 11:31 |
| Ntemis | i have those folders | 11:31 |
| Ntemis | on public | 11:31 |
| Ntemis | but public is a raid jbod | 11:31 |
| faheem_ | hello? anybody knows about any video converter?? | 11:31 |
| Weazel | whats the command you issued ? | 11:31 |
| rs0832 | faheem: winff | 11:31 |
| Ntemis | i mean /public is connected to 4 hdd | 11:31 |
| Weedo | have you tried software centre? | 11:32 |
| Stormx2` | faheem_, try handbrake | 11:32 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: so I guess in your case maybe try {X} to {becomes} | 11:32 |

| Ntemis | i have ssh access | 11:33 |
| === hekos is now known as Hekos | ||
| Darael | Syria: That printer is fully supported by the hplip driver, so you should be able to get it working. You may need libsane-hpaio to add the bits that SANE needs. | 11:34 |
| faheem_ | How to install handbrake??? I can't figure out its ppa!! help | 11:34 |
| Syria | Darael libsane-hpaio is already installed! | 11:34 |
| zerty | i got ftp problem ssh working fine | 11:35 |
| Darael | Syria: Hmm, not sure. Have you tried using hplip-gui to see if that, at least, works? | 11:35 |
| zerty | what to do ? | 11:35 |
| zerty | it was working two days before | 11:35 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, it's not really working for me, guess i'll have to find another option. | 11:35 |
| zerty | but not now | 11:35 |
| sayres | I want to install covergloobus. when . / configure I write in the terminal gives this error : configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub. Do what?:'( | 11:35 |
| Syria | Darael Not yet, I will do that now. | 11:35 |
| Darael | sayres: check that config.sub in the current directory exists and is executable. | 11:36 |
| sayres | Darael: ok | 11:36 |
| yeti | hello' | 11:36 |
| faheem_ | Stormx2`, how to install handbrake?? | 11:36 |
| rs0832 | faheem_ : in a terminal type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots | 11:37 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: I had to google it a bit but found it the best thing in my case. was eadier than writing a ruby program that was my next choice | 11:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, the prob isn't so much the program, it's that it isn't command line. | 11:37 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, then? | 11:37 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, then sudo apt-get update | 11:37 |
| knoxy | hi all.. I'm using ubuntu 10.10 server amd64.. Yesterday, I use and reboot my system normally.. Today, I'm trying to boot my machine and I get this message: "udevd-work[149]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/dm-0, 10) failed: No such file or directory" .. I'm using RAID 0 partition.. Please, how can I do to fix it?? | 11:38 |
| ikonia | knoxy: onboard raid ? | 11:38 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, then? | 11:38 |
| knoxy | ikonia: yes | 11:38 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: well it's python so you can look inside and take out that part or you can do the renameing on a remote connection | 11:38 |
| knoxy | ikonia: activated on asus mb | 11:38 |
| ikonia | knoxy: game over, fake raid is a bad technology on linux, and using raid 0 as a root file system is a worse idea | 11:38 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, then download it from synaptic | 11:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, I'm currently working on building a WYSIWYG editor for OfBIZ, which requires me to create a new custom component for a new customer. That component is a clone of a skeleton component, and I need to replace and rename a lot of files. Instead of doing this in Java, I want the speed of the OS thus I'm trying to do this the CLI way. | 11:39 |
| Stormx2` | faheem_, http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2100 | 11:39 |
| knoxy | ikonia: I cant fix this error? | 11:39 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, or sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk | 11:39 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, could not locate package.. | 11:40 |
| sayres | Darael :Inside / bin /config.sub is not it? | 11:40 |
| sayres | :-X | 11:40 |
| mouche | I messed up my grub config so I fixed it using a liveCD, but how do I use update-grub on a system mounted in a particular spot? Anybody know how to do it manually? | 11:40 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, did you try synaptic? | 11:40 |
| knoxy | ikonia: I lost my system? I cant recover it? | 11:40 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, oh its handbrake-cli not gtk.. | 11:40 |
| ikonia | knoxy: pretty much | 11:40 |
| dnivra | !grub2 | mouche | 11:40 |
| ubottu | mouche: 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 | 11:40 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, no there are two | 11:40 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: well if you want speed then maybe write a C program, I'm not sure what number of files you are working on and what speed is tolerable | 11:41 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, so which one do I get?? | 11:41 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, cli is text based and gtk is gui | 11:41 |
| Darael | sayres: It may be - is the configure script trying to enter that folder first? | 11:41 |
| mouche | dnivra: thanks, I'll check that out | 11:41 |
| dnivra | mouche, np :) | 11:41 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, download this deb and double click to install - https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots/+files/handbrake-gtk_svn3711ppa1~maverick1_i386.deb | 11:41 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Ntemis, don't wisper me without asking. | 11:41 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, lol debs are so easier D: | 11:41 |
| knoxy | ikonia: I cant recover this installation?? | 11:41 |
| Stormx2` | rs0832, it's called raid 0 because if something breaks you get nothing back | 11:41 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, are you on 10.04 or 10.10 | 11:41 |
| Stormx2` | knoxy ^ | 11:41 |
| ikonia | knoxy: no | 11:41 |
| stercor | What's the package --- something like ``build-utils'' that facilitates compilations? | 11:42 |
| rs0832 | Stormx2`, ? | 11:42 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, dunnoo | 11:42 |
| Stormx2` | rs0832, sorry, tabbed wrong person | 11:42 |
| knoxy | ikonia: this is a ubuntu error or a linux error? | 11:42 |
| Darael | stercor: build-essential? | 11:42 |
| rs0832 | Stormx2`, :) no prob | 11:42 |
| stercor | Darael: I'll try it. Thanks | 11:42 |
| sayres | Darael: whats mean? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | knoxy: this is a user error, fakeraid is not a good technology and putting raid0 as a root file system is not a good idea, so it's a user error | 11:42 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, maverick? | 11:42 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, yea | 11:43 |
| goodtime | i think it hebrew | 11:43 |
| Darael | sayres: Never mind. Try symlinking the file you mentioned back into the base folder | 11:43 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, then download the deb from the link i sent you | 11:43 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, yea | 11:43 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Ntemis, stop wispering. | 11:43 |

| knoxy | ikonia: thanks man | 11:44 |
| Ntemis | the /Public/Downloads/**** is a 4xhdd and i need sabnzb to download there | 11:44 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, let me know if it works | 11:44 |
| ikonia | knoxy: your right a good technology does work, fakeraid is not a good technology, and raid0 as a root file system is not a good technology, so it's user error | 11:44 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, it did :D thanks. | 11:44 |
| Ntemis | Cannot create download_dir folder /Public/Downloads/***** | 11:44 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, no problem :) | 11:44 |

| noonian | s3r3n1t7, sorry i'd love to help but not good enough at shell scripting. i would just use something like ruby, python, or scheme. | 11:45 |

| rs0832 | faheem_, to 3gp? on ubuntu i havent found anything that can | 11:45 |
| knoxy | ikonia: the correct is raid pci card controller? | 11:46 |
| Ntemis | Darael thanks for the help | 11:46 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, but i found a workaround | 11:46 |
| Ntemis | will try | 11:46 |
| ikonia | knoxy: a true hardware raid controller, yes | 11:46 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, whats that? | 11:46 |
| sayres | Darael: You can tell how I do this-do?:'( | 11:46 |

| rs0832 | faheem_, and a windows partition? | 11:46 |
| Darael | sayres: what's the output of "pwd" in the folder with the source? | 11:46 |
| knoxy | ikonia: right.. I will buy this card and try to use... | 11:46 |
| knoxy | ikonia: raid0 is not recommended? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | knoxy: make sure it is a true hardware raid card and linux supported | 11:46 |
| ikonia | knoxy: raid0 is not recommended for the root file system or valuable data | 11:47 |
| sacarlson | s3r3n1t7: with enuf work you could probly find a way in bash with sed. but I agree with ntemis on ruby or python | 11:47 |
| faheem_ | rs0832, yea ntfs | 11:47 |
| Darael | sayres: forget what I just said. Do the following: "ln -s `pwd`/bin/config.sub ./" (no quotes). | 11:47 |
| rs0832 | faheem_, ok download this on the ntfs partition, extract the archive and open the program with wine | 11:48 |

I use: "192.168.0.2:/mnt/Test/files/ /home/testing nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr" to try and mount, and its the same as the old one(just different ip). | 11:59 |

| s3r3n1t7 | sacarlson, i've used sed to replace the contents of the file, and this should fix the rest of it. The only problem now seems to be that find first finds a set of files/folders, then feeds it to rename, but it starts at the top of the file pyramid, not at the bottom. | 12:00 |

| aertyu | what is the ftp server vesion default installed on ubuntu machine ? | 12:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | genewitch, samba will do nicely for that. | 12:01 |
| knoxy | ikonia: I did not ask his help to believe | 12:01 |

| ikonia | knoxy: then what do you want ? | 12:01 |
| [4-tea-2] | Howdy. I managed to mess up my Gnome configuration, it seems the application used to open folders is now VLC instead of Nautilus. Any advice on how to revert this setting (preferably without discarding the whole Gnome config)? | 12:01 |

| goodtime | i goto start my file browser and my vlc starts up | 12:02 |

| knoxy | ikonia: only linux have problems with "fakeraid" or this is a unix-like system "problem" ? | 12:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | genewitch, nope, just work. | 12:07 |
| ikonia | knoxy: pretty much any unix-like system, fake raid will not give you performance boosts as the processing for the raid set is done on your CPU | 12:07 |
| Darael | knoxy: It's a problem with any system that uses fakeraid, which I believe includes the BSDs as well. ICDB, though. | 12:07 |
| goodtime | something tells me i might have been better off useing ubuntu 10.04 | 12:07 |
| genewitch | s3r3n1t7: man rev | 12:07 |
| aertyu | well i just create a user vi vsftpd but that user can't right on the folder | 12:08 |
| aertyu | what to do ? | 12:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | genewitch, Already looked at that. It reverses the contents of the files. I want only the lines to be reversed, not the contents. | 12:08 |
| ikonia | aertyu: there are documents on the wiki, have you read them | 12:08 |
| sherbieny | anyone knows sphinx4 and eclipse please pm me | 12:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sherbieny, perhaps that asking the actual question would help? | 12:08 |

| rs0832 | goodtime: o.o did you try changing settings for less graphic effects? | 12:10 |
| goodtime | yes to no avail | 12:10 |
| rs0832 | goodtime: what about drivers | 12:10 |
| goodtime | the same | 12:11 |
| knoxy | ikonia: what the best raid card compatible with linux you recommends? | 12:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | genewitch, almost. Let me explain the problem: I'm using find to find a whole list of files, containing a certain word. That list of files I can save to a file. I then feed that list of files to rename for renaming, but the problem is that the file pyramid becomes wider as i go down. So after the first rename, the second line no longer matches because its root folder is no longer there, it's been renamed already. | 12:11 |
| rigved | rs0832: it didn't work. so i used the -t option and it worked | 12:11 |
| ikonia | knoxy: I don't have a recommendation | 12:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | genewitch, so i want a first in last out principle, while keeping the line contents intact. | 12:11 |

| claudia | @Floodbot what does mean Modus -q? | 12:39 |
| opensauce | Darael - is there any others besides grub and lilo? | 12:39 |
| Darael | goodtime: Nautilus is the file manager in Ubuntu 10.10 | 12:39 |
| Weazel | Darael: unfortunately i'm a bit of a noob, I have no idea what MAPI is | 12:40 |
| rs0832 | claudia: Floodbot is not a person | 12:40 |
| dnivra | claudia, it means you can't speak in the channel. | 12:40 |
| Darael | opensauce: There's syslinux, but I'd advise against that, too. | 12:40 |
| dnivra | claude2, floodBOT is a bot. | 12:40 |

| chemist_ | hello everyone ... i've got a little problem or huge i dunno ;) ... here goes... i want to install a driver for my USB wifi card (rt73 chipset) - i installed the build-essential, linux-headers and linux-source (i installed them in this order - hope this is not the fault) ... and when i get to the "make" command.... it takes over all of my RAM and just sits there forever :/ | 12:49 |
| Darael | Weazel: It looks like they've locked out linux from OWA on exchange 2010. Not sure why. You won't be able to get to it using the OWA connector, but if MAPI or IMAP is available (ask your sysadmin) you can use those. | 12:49 |
| chemist_ | should i wait a little more? like 10 minutes? for a simple driver? | 12:49 |
| chemist_ | anyone? | 12:50 |
| Weazel | IMAP i know is not available, MAPI - i don't even know what it is but i'll ask, just fyi i do manage to connect with my android email no problem.. (if it gives any hints about this MAPI) | 12:50 |
| chemist_ | :( | 12:50 |
| Darael | Weazel: That does suggest that there's something other than OWA available. Hopefully it's something we can use. | 12:50 |
| Silicium | MAPI is the Microsoft Exchange Protocol | 12:50 |
| Weazel | anyways i kinda broke my evolution, i get errors now and can't re-install it for some reason... keeps telling me E:broken packages with some depenencies | 12:51 |
| r00t4rd3d | chemist_, it shouldnt take 10minutes | 12:51 |
| _joey | does anyone know if SAS is supported on Debian/Ubuntu Linux? | 12:51 |
| Darael | Weazel: That's probably because ubuntu-desktop depends on Evolution. | 12:51 |
| _joey | or can be installed | 12:51 |
| rs0832 | Weazel: try sudo apt-get build-dep evolution | 12:51 |
| Darael | Weazel: Try sudo apt-get -f install | 12:51 |
| chemist_ | r00t4rd3d it completely lags my pc... | 12:51 |
| r00t4rd3d | should be sudo make also | 12:51 |
| Darael | Weazel: Also try sudo dpkg --configure -a | 12:51 |
| chemist_ | uses all the ram available | 12:51 |
| claudia | lspci | grep VGA gives only one graphics adapter http://paste.ubuntu.com/545939/ | 12:51 |
| Weazel | ok i'll try thanks | 12:51 |
| chemist_ | i see that in conky monitor... | 12:52 |
| chemist_ | r00t4rd3d: it's no difference... | 12:52 |
| chemist_ | r00t4rd3d: i recall doing the same on the previous version of ubuntu and crunchbang...both didn't take more than a couple of seconds i think.... | 12:52 |

| Myrtti | raidgh0st: gimp can do if you install the ufraw plugin | 12:54 |

| Weazel | after sudo dpkg --configure -a nothing happend | 12:54 |

| Weazel | Darael: no, but i tried installing it from the website and really messed with it since the OWA drove me crazy | 12:58 |

| claudia | also in my langeuage i would say there is a ATI and a nVida card | 12:59 |

| tuxnani | i have ubuntu 10.10 installed and on nvidia, my problem is skype gets initialised in 3 instances at bootup, how to avoid that? | 13:00 |
| Darael | Weazel: "sudo apt-get install evolution" will install the prebuilt package. To remove the ppas, install the ppa-purge package and use that. | 13:01 |
| chemist_ | r00t4rd3d: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys WUSB54GC v1 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT73] ... this is what lsusb gives... it says rt73..so it should be ok :) | 13:01 |

| aditya_ | @root how to open a chat with u | 13:01 |
| Weazel | ok installing ppa-purge | 13:01 |
| dnivra | tuxnani, system -> preferences -> startup applications. in the startup programs tab, check if skype occurs multiple times. if so, remove the duplicates. | 13:01 |
| Weazel | Darael: some ppa i wanna keep though, it'll let me choose the ones in need right? | 13:02 |
| shcherbak | claudia: You cannot run both card at the same time (or it would be exremly difficult to set up). There are properiary drivers which makes attaching second motnitor extremly easy, but you card need additonal dvi | 13:02 |

| delinquentme | sooo with this new update my main box wont boot up ... I have just been installing all the updates that pop up within my system .. it now seems like this is a BAD PRACTCE? ? .. imy system isnt booting up now .. anyone have best practices for doing updates to ensure it doesnt break a working system? | 13:10 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, what is your status on the grub thing? | 13:11 |
| chaospsychex | ok i did sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX and then i did sudo update-grub and it didnt find the kernel | 13:11 |
| chaospsychex | my status is my head is about to explode | 13:11 |
| Diverdude | maco, thx | 13:11 |
| GaryD | good morning all...does anyone know how to fix brasero to work on lxde??? | 13:12 |
| chaospsychex | Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin is all | 13:12 |
| bezao | Darael yes, 1 min pls | 13:12 |
| chaospsychex | do i need to reboot and do sudo update-grub | 13:12 |
| dnivra | chaospsychex, can you try the chroot method? i.e. method 3? | 13:13 |
| bezao | Darael here http://paste.ubuntu.com/545946/ | 13:13 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, no you can do it without rebooting | 13:13 |
| chaospsychex | what do you mean method 3 | 13:13 |
| chaospsychex | chroot? | 13:13 |
| chaospsychex | i did update-grub and it didnt find the installed kernel,only memtest | 13:13 |
| rs0832 | aditya_, http://www.freefilehosting.net/bcmwl-kernel-source5604836bdcom-0ubuntu5i386 | 13:13 |
| bezao | Darael i'm running ubuntu on vbox, my primary OS is win7 | 13:13 |
| Genieliu | I can't believe ubuntu has't fix the bug!!http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=129175358621826&w=2 The code still works in my computer!! | 13:14 |
| dnivra | chaospsychex, yeah. but finish what you're doing now. once you're sure it's useless, try method 3 i.e. chroot in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD | 13:14 |
| chaospsychex | i got this far once before and when i rebooted i never saw the grub menu | 13:14 |
| Darael | bezao: Right. Looks like there's a CPU feature that Ubuntu is expecting but is disabled in your BIOS. Ideally, you want to enable it in your vbox BIOS. On the other hand, you could install the linux-virtual package and remove the linux-generic package and see if it helps. | 13:14 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, are you in a live cd? | 13:14 |
| chaospsychex | yeah | 13:14 |
| chaospsychex | live cd | 13:14 |
| chaospsychex | you mean method 3 in the link you provided? | 13:14 |
| aditya_ | got it | 13:15 |

| elif | Hi guys I'm using preseed with network install (lucid-10.04), I read the docs that It will prompt the for keyboard and language, because that occurs before network config, but a way to handle it would be to pass to Kernel Append Line, I tried that but the installation still prompts for those question, there is a way to handle that ? | 13:15 |
| Skuzzy | #kisletra | 13:15 |
| bezao | Darael if i keep this way, it will give me some problem? | 13:15 |
| sunit | hello I am using ubuntu 9.10 | 13:16 |
| elif | I mean, is there a way to go full automatic with network installation ? | 13:16 |
| Darael | bezao: I don't know myself, but Ubuntu doesn't generally complain unless it might. Looking at the wiki page referenced, it could be a security hole. | 13:17 |
| chaospsychex | whats the command to see what version of grub is installed | 13:17 |

| delinquentme | is there a repair ubuntu operation? | 13:20 |
| T0M-S0JA | hello i have installed ubuntu 10.10.10 on my computer and after some minutes ubuntu hangs and i must do hard power off, it freezes without any special trigger. have saved all the log files. how can i find out whats wrong? | 13:20 |
| sagaci | delinquentme: oh dear, what have you done | 13:21 |
| Darael | delinquentme: Boot the alternate CD. IIRC there's a "rescue a broken system" option. | 13:21 |
| delinquentme | if i wanted to do something to a repair windows operation .. im guessing id be using the ubuntu cd .. and doing a liveboot .. anyone able to offer assistance beyond that? | 13:21 |
| sunit | delinquentme , are you asking me ? | 13:21 |
| T0M-S0JA | have reinstalled it already same error | 13:21 |
| LetsGo67 | How do you use an emulated MotionPlus in Ubuntu? | 13:21 |
| delinquentme | sagaci, installed ubuntu updates :P | 13:21 |
| delinquentme | Darael, where do i get the alternate CD? | 13:22 |
| chaospsychex | i have grub 0.97 | 13:22 |
| Darael | Tom-B: 10.10.10? Wow, I wonder how you got that... :P first place to look is /var/log/kern.log, second would be /var/log/messages. I think. | 13:22 |
| delinquentme | sunit, im asking everyone :D | 13:22 |
| Darael | delinquentme: From the getubuntu download page, there's a link on there somewhere. | 13:22 |
| sunit | ok | 13:22 |
| T0M-S0JA | wondering too because previous versions of ubuntu working fine | 13:23 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, you can still install grub 2 over that | 13:23 |
| T0M-S0JA | i take a look at booth | 13:23 |
| LetsGo67 | :( | 13:23 |
| Darael | delinquentme: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download | 13:23 |
| sunit | delinquentme , have you seen my problem ? | 13:23 |
| LetsGo67 | Tant pis.. | 13:23 |
| delinquentme | Darael, yeah checking through it | 13:24 |
| chaospsychex | is there a another ubuntu help channel? | 13:24 |

| Darael | Got an ipv6 tunnel from HE up, and radvd running. My laptop picks it up and configures itself with a v6 address but has no route to any host but the tunnel client address, not even the v6 address of the tunnel client on the local net. | 13:25 |
| delinquentme | Darael, and i should download this one : ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent .. its what matches with my architecture .. and then burn it and toss it in the CD tray? | 13:25 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, which docs are you using? | 13:25 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, can you give me a link? maybe i can help you | 13:25 |
| delinquentme | sunit, no i havnt seen your problem .. do you want to repost it? | 13:25 |
| chaospsychex | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:26 |
| Darael | delinquentme: If you prefer to use the torrent, yes. Otherwise, get the one that's just ISO. And do that only if you're running Lucid (10.04) - if you're running Maverick, get the equivalent file for 10.10. | 13:26 |
| rs0832 | raidgh0st, mine saves fine in jpeg | 13:26 |
| goodtime | i made a startup disk in 10.10 and that doesnt work either please im getting desprate | 13:26 |
| sunit | I am trying to access a web application remotely with http://IP:8180/openbravo | 13:26 |
| delinquentme | check Darael im on lucid :D thanks | 13:26 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, ok ill check it out | 13:26 |
| sunit | but I am getting error as unable to connect | 13:26 |
| Octodigit | hi, since pulseaudio provides no functional advantages for end users, but adds latency, uses extra resources and sporadically causes people's apps to not work | 13:26 |
| rs0832 | chaospsychex, ok can you tell me how your computer is partitioned? | 13:27 |
| goodtime | i tryed to make a bootable iso and that just went blank | 13:27 |
| Octodigit | is anyone able to think of a materially factual reason why we have to have it in the distro, that couldn't be addressed by having it as an optional package? | 13:27 |
| sunit | But I can access the ubuntu 8.04 machine remotely with ssh access | 13:27 |
| maco | Octodigit: it actually does add more functionality... | 13:28 |
| sunit | delinquentme, please help me | 13:28 |
| Octodigit | maco: like what? | 13:28 |
| Darael | sunit: Sounds like you've got a firewall in the way that is blocking port 8180 | 13:28 |
| delinquentme | sunit, are you a bot? | 13:28 |
| delinquentme | oh nm | 13:28 |
| maco | Octodigit: for example, it was quite handy to have around when i was watching a movie with a friend. my laptop does not have *two* 1/8" jacks. i do have 1/8" headphones and a USB headset though. without pulseaudio, i could not route sound through both simultenously | 13:28 |
| Octodigit | what functionality is added that justifies the trade-off of users having unhappy experiences for the last few years because skype | 13:28 |
| dhanijeremy | i have an issue with Maverick Meerkat, whenever i play my mp3 collection in banshee or rythmbox i noticed my system a bit slugish and stuck after a period of time and it goes on until i quit playing my mp3. | 13:29 |
| maco | Octodigit: it also allows moving sound from speakers to USB headset on the fly, as another example | 13:29 |
| Octodigit | ventrilo, vendetta online, amarok, konversation, saytime, and lots of other things simply make no sound without explanation? | 13:29 |
| maco | Octodigit: and if you want to setup a media center, you can control it over the network | 13:29 |
| Darael | Got an ipv6 tunnel from HE up, and radvd running. My laptop picks it up and configures itself with a v6 address but has no route to any host but the tunnel client address, not even the v6 address of the tunnel client on the local net. | 13:29 |
| maco | Octodigit: those are kde apps. kubuntu did not ship with pulseaudio until it got qt 4.7 which is pulse compatible in 0.10 | 13:29 |
| Octodigit | maco: under what circumstances would one set up a media centre without installing extra packages? | 13:30 |
| maco | *10.10 | 13:30 |
| Octodigit | maco: I think the answer is probably none. | 13:30 |
| sunit | Darael, what shall I do ? | 13:30 |
| T0M-S0JA | here is my messages and kern.log, ubuntu freezes after some minutes and i dont now why :( (freshly installation with update) can anyone take a look at them? | 13:30 |
| Darael | sunit: Look at your firewall configuration. Or possibly your router. | 13:30 |
| maco | Octodigit: sure youd need more packages...mp3 codecs for example... | 13:30 |
| maco | Octodigit: unless you use all ogg vorbis. which i do. | 13:30 |
| sunit | delinquentme, I can't understand | 13:30 |
| Octodigit | maco: 2 of those are kde apps, and the problem is not that they are kde apps, the problem is that simple audio is prevented from working by pulseaudio | 13:30 |
| MotherMother | Sup, does anyone have time to help me? It's a small problem | 13:30 |
| maco | Octodigit: no it is not | 13:31 |
| sunit | Dareal , ok | 13:31 |
| Octodigit | maco: yes, yes it is | 13:31 |
| delinquentme | sunit, have you tried different browsers? | 13:31 |
| Octodigit | maco: are saytime, and quake kde apps? | 13:31 |
| sunit | Darael thanks | 13:31 |
| Octodigit | is vendetta online a kde app? | 13:31 |
| Octodigit | is "beep" ? | 13:31 |
| Darael | Octodigit: I've never had a problem with pulse, but if you've got a bone to pick with it, I suggest reporting it all as a bug. This is a support channel. | 13:31 |
| chalet16 | Where are global NetworkManager configuration files located? | 13:32 |
| MotherMother | Sup, can anyone help me with a partitioning problem? | 13:32 |
| sunit | delinquentme, I am trying with different browser | 13:32 |
| maco | Octodigit: whatever you say. the fact that the vast majority of things attributed to pulseaudio as failings turned out to be it simply acting as a reliable testcase for bugs that had been reported about alsa drivers a decade ago means nothing | 13:32 |
| Octodigit | I don't have a bone to pick with it, but as somebody who has spent time in this channel and others like it, I'm willing to openly suggest that lots of people | 13:32 |
| delinquentme | sunit then yeah Darael is right .. you need to look into ports .. 8180 as he said | 13:32 |
| Octodigit | (end users) have needless problems that stop their computing session, because of pulse | 13:32 |
| Octodigit | and I think that if you guys were to study that, I think the simple objective facts would completely bear that out. | 13:33 |
| maco | Octodigit: i think you need to learn from developers where the problems lie. just because they manifest at the pulse layer does not mean they are not driver bugs. in the majority of cases, they are | 13:33 |
| === Hekos is now known as hekos | ||
| sunit | delinquentme, I have tried with google crome | 13:33 |
| maco | Octodigit: feel free to dig into both pulseaudio's and alsa's source and fix the problems instead of continuing to whine uselessly | 13:33 |
| sunit | now I can access the machine remotely | 13:33 |
| Darael | Octodigit: Then put up bugs, or take it to the mailing list, or talk to the Ubuntu devs. This is a support channel, and discussion of architecture decisions doesn't belong here. I'm not normally this grouchy, honest, but I'm tired. | 13:34 |
| Octodigit | maco: programs which cause lots of problems for end users after years of deployment, where you should "ask the developers", are surely opt-in packages? | 13:34 |
| sunit | Thanks delinquentme | 13:34 |
| delinquentme | sunit, can you get to google? | 13:34 |
| sunit | yes | 13:34 |
| Octodigit | maco: why would I spend time fix0ring a package that offers end users no advantage, so your distro can foist it on its users? heh | 13:34 |
| delinquentme | sunit, google " how to unblock port 8180 ubuntu" | 13:34 |
| sunit | what the problem delinquentme ? | 13:35 |
| delinquentme | sunit, do you know what ubuntu version you have? | 13:35 |
| Octodigit | that would make me.. mental. However, what I *do* come across a lot are end users who use Ubuntu who can't get sound working. | 13:35 |
| maco | Octodigit: to put your time where your mouth is | 13:35 |
| Octodigit | A lot. Alotalot. | 13:35 |
| sunit | yes, ubuntu 8.04 | 13:35 |
| Octodigit | maco: my time is spent on other projects, and is finite. I think the place this needs to come from is the people doing the support | 13:36 |
| maco | Octodigit: including pulseaudio is not a distro-level decision. it is a gnome-level decision. | 13:36 |
| sunit | delinquentme, I am trying to access fro ubuntu 9.10 machine | 13:36 |
| Octodigit | so ultimately, if you think what I'm saying is completely unjustified and not true, I've no beef with that | 13:36 |
| maco | Octodigit: and when it is used with drivers that don't suck, it works great! | 13:36 |
| Metallico | hi guys, ubuntu 10. 20 has detected two sound cards (one of which is the HDMI exit of my graphics card) on my system but I cant get the sound to work. It just shows dummy output in the audio mixer i am new and dont know how to set one of them as the default one | 13:36 |
| Metallico | ubuntu | 13:37 |
| amadtattoo | hello.. | 13:37 |
| Metallico | ubuntu 10.10* | 13:37 |
| sunit | delinquentme ,I can't access with firefox , but can connect with google chrome ! | 13:37 |
| Octodigit | works great at doing what though? I mean rerouting stuff and independently controlling app volume and so on are all very nice, but most end users would probably never notice them | 13:37 |
| sunit | delinquentme, where is the problem ? | 13:37 |
| amadtattoo | would anybody help me | 13:37 |
| delinquentme | sunit, you are on a 9.10 machine .. and what machine is the 8.04 | 13:38 |
| Octodigit | and... frankly, has anyone *ever* released an app that could use volume control.. without providing their own volume control? | 13:38 |
| hateball | !anyone | amadtattoo | 13:38 |
| ubottu | amadtattoo: 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? | 13:38 |
| Octodigit | I mean... ever? | 13:38 |
| maco | Octodigit: a web browser? | 13:38 |
| aditya_ | is ubuntu 10.10 beter and stable than 10.04 | 13:38 |
| aditya_ | ? | 13:38 |
| amadtattoo | sorry i am absolutly newbie/ | 13:38 |
| maco | Octodigit: notification system? | 13:38 |
| amadtattoo | :( | 13:38 |
| Octodigit | what notification doesn't have volume controls? | 13:38 |
| maco | aditya_: 10.04's been out longer so is likely a bit more stable. 10.10 would have newer things. i dont know your definition of better | 13:39 |
| ZummiG777 | Question: I'm trying to do two-drive software RAID on Ubuntu 10.04. It works fine for the initial install. If I do a kernel update and reboot the system goes to an Busybox (initramfs) prompt. Anybody know why this is happening and how it can be resolved so it doesn't happen again (I'd hate to have to manually touch every machine every time a kernel update happened). | 13:39 |
| Darael | Octodigit: Yes. Flash player. I repeatedly have to use the pulse controls to mute it because the flash thing doesn't have volume controls. | 13:39 |
| sunit | delinquentme : the machine I am trying to access is 8.04 | 13:39 |
| azlon | where are the files i download during an update kept? | 13:39 |
| Darael | azlon: /var/cache/apt/archives | 13:39 |
| delinquentme | OH sunit you're trying to remote into a machine .. does it have the remote software on it? | 13:39 |
| azlon | and i can back those up, the reformat and copy them back to the same directory and my updates will go faster (since i dont have to download them)? | 13:40 |

| aditya_ | @maco ubuntu 10.04 is giving lot of trouble to me........that s why | 13:40 |
| Octodigit | flash is the basis on which the apps are made, though.. so if you have flash apps on sites which stop you muting them, that's a broken flash app | 13:40 |
| amadtattoo | what kind of trouble? | 13:40 |
| maco | aditya_: do you have very new hardware? | 13:40 |
| delinquentme | sunit, also is this your web server.. or is this to log in and control a 8.04 box? | 13:40 |
| Octodigit | and frankly, isn't that a bit of a ridiculous trade-off for stuff not working for ma and pa? | 13:41 |
| aditya_ | yes @macooooooo | 13:41 |
| Darael | Octodigit: Like I say, I've never had sound not work in an app because of pulse. | 13:41 |
| maco | aditya_: then try 10.10. the newer the release hte newer hardware itll support | 13:41 |
| Darael | Got an ipv6 tunnel from HE up, and radvd running. My laptop picks it up and configures itself with a v6 address but has no route to any host but the tunnel client address, not even the v6 address of the tunnel client on the local net. | 13:41 |
| Octodigit | Darael: have you not come across lots of people in this channel who have? | 13:41 |
| maco | Octodigit: i havent had sound not work in an app using pulse since 8.04. that was was mythtv, and i solved it by enabling dmix, not by removing pulse | 13:41 |
| Darael | Octodigit: Not that I could reliably pin on pulse rather than a broken app. | 13:42 |
| Octodigit | maco: yet more endorsement for "this should be an opt-in package not a default for end users" - I think you, heh ;) | 13:42 |
| bezao | Darael http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517551 i did not understood, what he 'turned on'? lol | 13:42 |
| maco | Octodigit: you realise its impossible to make it opt-in right? | 13:43 |
| Octodigit | maybe the answer is to keep pulse, but make all apps by default use pasuspender unless they are tested as always working with pulse | 13:43 |
| Darael | Octodigit: And since you already used "it's a broken app, pulse shouldn't get credit" I feel perfectly justified in saying "it's a broken app, pulse shouldn't get blame" | 13:43 |
| maco | Octodigit: without having duplicates of a bunch of gnome packages? | 13:43 |
| MotherMother | Sorry for asking this again: But can someone please help me with my partitioning problem? | 13:43 |
| Octodigit | that would be no less irrational :) | 13:43 |
| Octodigit | Darael: what, for flash movies? | 13:43 |
| maco | the volume control thing is pulse-only | 13:44 |
| Octodigit | I've yet to find a flash move that plays sound that anyone would want to run, which doesn't have a volume control or a mute control | 13:44 |
| maco | so sure we could toss pulse, and then thre'd be no way to change volume outside of alsamixer in the terminal | 13:44 |
| Gigacore | guys, is it better to go for ubuntu server 10.04 or 10.10? | 13:44 |
| Octodigit | I'd be absoltely shocked if you could provide one, too. | 13:44 |
| Octodigit | honestly, I would | 13:44 |
| maco | Gigacore: for a server, stick to LTS | 13:44 |
| Octodigit | maco: intentionally broken volume control | 13:44 |
| Gigacore | maco: thank you | 13:44 |
| Weazel | Darael: thank u so much, Evolution is installed once again :D | 13:45 |
| Octodigit | removing support for something in your apps is not an argument in favour of the alternatives | 13:45 |
| maco | Octodigit: like i said earlier, pulseaudio is a gnome-level decision, not a distro-level decision | 13:45 |
| Octodigit | that's what Microsoft and Apple do, and everybody rightly moans about it :) | 13:45 |
| MotherMother | I have one windows partition and i need to split that up for ubuntu without touching the windows part, can i do that within the Ubuntu installer? | 13:45 |
| Weazel | although this time it doesn't show me the Exchange option | 13:45 |
| Octodigit | (that is a whole different conversation though) | 13:45 |
| Darael | Octodigit: And I've yet to find an app that had a problem using pulse, but as you are at pains to point out that's no reason to assume one doesn't exist. It was /meant/ to be an example, but you've taken it as "that's the only thing". | 13:45 |

| Darael | Octodigit: As I said twice before, if you believe that strongly that pulse shouldn't be in Ubuntu, take it up with the devs, not the users and the tech support. | 13:47 |

| lnxnub | hi i am having some issues with setting up a cron job | 14:11 |
| lnxnub | can someone help? | 14:11 |
| erUSUL | !cron | 14:11 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 14:11 |
| rs0832 | lnxnub: what issues? | 14:12 |
| gini | hey lads | 14:13 |
| lnxnub | so in the superuser's crontab i have added this line: 30 * * * * /home/ubuntu/update_test_site.sh trunk y trunk > /home/ubuntu/rsync_logs/trunk_update.log | 14:13 |
| pradyumna | how to remove the volume icon? | 14:13 |
| lnxnub | this line runs a script and the output of the script should go to trunk_update.log | 14:13 |
| lnxnub | however it seems not to run | 14:13 |
| jrib | lnxnub: define "the superuser" | 14:13 |
| lnxnub | sudo su | 14:13 |
| l33tch | I haev an internal 3G modem which was working fine until I attached it to a virual machine in VirtualBox... after dettaching it, the host doesn't re-attach it... how can i get the machine to 'scan for new hardware' or something? | 14:13 |
| jrib | lnxnub: that's not a user. | 14:13 |
| jrib | lnxnub: whose crontab is this in? | 14:14 |
| lnxnub | to edit it I type "sudo crontab -e" | 14:14 |
| lnxnub | so root;'s | 14:14 |
| lnxnub | root's | 14:14 |
| dnivra | pradyumna, just right click on it and "remove from panel" | 14:14 |
| jrib | lnxnub: why aren't you just putting it in ubuntu's crontab? | 14:15 |
| lnxnub | no specific reason | 14:15 |
| pradyumna | right clicking is giving me preferences and mute options | 14:15 |
| delinquentme | OK.. SO got the system to boot up by opening up GRUB .. editing the boot commands and removing "quiet" from the lines .. ctrl+x to run said (edited) commands .. and the sucker boots just fine ... however on reboot ( without editing the boot commands ) it hangs at the ubuntu dots screen again | 14:16 |
| jrib | lnxnub: put it there and make sure there are no PATH issues (PATH is different in crontab) | 14:16 |
| dcarter | I lost power during an upgrade to natty and now I get a "gnome-settings-daemon" error when I log in. What is the best way to recover? | 14:16 |
| dnivra | delinquentme, well editing it in grub doesn't mean it is saved. | 14:16 |
| jrib | !natty | dcarter | 14:16 |
| ubottu | dcarter: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | dnivra: finish the upgrade. « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » | 14:17 |
| dnivra | erUSUL, um wrong person :) | 14:17 |
| delinquentme | dnivra, yeah absolutely .. but the thing is its just weird that changing something as un related as the OUTPUT .. would allow it to boot up | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | dnivra: i see; sorry | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | dcarter: finish the upgrade. « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » | 14:17 |
| dnivra | pradyumna, don't right click ON the volume control. a bit below it. | 14:18 |
| dcarter | erUSUL: How do I get a command line? | 14:18 |
| l33tch | ok, how about this; how would i activate a usb 3g modem when the machine is nto doing so automatically? it is internal so I can't physically unplug and plug it back in... but it still works when I attach it to a virtual machine on the host | 14:18 |
| dnivra | delinquentme, i think you modified boot parameters-that would change a lot. i'm not sure about that very much. i don't mess with grub :). | 14:18 |
| l33tch | still not sure i'm asking the right question... | 14:19 |
| pradyumna | i got that by alt+f2 and "gnome-volume-control-applet" | 14:19 |

| rs0832 | dnivra: for chaospsychex | 14:20 |
| jrib | nurdglaw: edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf #httpd for more advice | 14:21 |
| dnivra | rs0832, oh! what did you try? | 14:21 |
| pradyumna | it is only giving me mute and soundpreferences | 14:21 |
| dnivra | pradyumna, right click. not left click. | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | dcarter: alt + f1 ? | 14:21 |
| pradyumna | ya right click | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | dcarter: or boot into recovery mode with network | 14:21 |
| l33tch | jsec: i installed on an i7 early this year... never had an issue there. maybe it's more controller/mobo related if there are issues? | 14:21 |
| rs0832 | dnivra: on boot it goes to the grub prompt directly | 14:21 |
| pradyumna | it has only volume control no rhythmbox | 14:22 |
| dcarter | erUSUL: Thanks, I'll give it go. | 14:22 |
| nurdglaw | jrib: I've been on #httpd They told me to use Redirect which just feels like to answer to a different question. My .htaccess file is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/545957/ - I'm sure it used to work but it doesn't now | 14:22 |
| jsec | l33tch: gotcha. I'm buying a new laptop today, and I'd like to get an i5, but I've heard there were issues with the TurboBoost feature not getting picked up by the kernel. | 14:22 |
| User51 | My voice is low on skype, I read on forums of this but cant find a solution??? | 14:23 |

| User51 | jsec i have a i5 and it works just fine the booster too | 14:23 |
| l33tch | jsec: ah, never tested it that far i suppose... i did have more performance as it was compared to vista... but i guess that's not much of a comparison... | 14:23 |
| jsec | l33tch: ferrari vs. go-kart? | 14:24 |
| jsec | User51, never any problems? | 14:24 |

| sam-_- | User51, is it cranked up to max? | 14:29 |
| dnivra | pradyumna, "sudo apt-get install wine" | 14:29 |
| sam-_- | !wine | 14:29 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 14:29 |
| dnivra | pradyumna, alternatively you can search in synaptic/software center and install too. | 14:29 |
| l33tch | user51: it's there already :( even modprobing it does nothing... | 14:29 |
| delinquentme | HO'K .. so im booting up .. and my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on the splash screen ( the one with ubuntu and the dots ) .. i pulled up grub.. edited the boot commands by removing " quiet " and then ctrl + x to proceed with the boot .. after removing the quiet .. it boots up just fine ... but after a 3rd reboot .. ( and no editing of the grub boot commands / removing quiet ) it goes back to hanging at the ubuntu splash screen | 14:29 |
| sam-_- | l33tch, what's the device? | 14:30 |
| User51 | ah :( | 14:30 |
| User51 | maybe i can install the windows skype with wine ?? | 14:30 |
| bredoto | how can I view 10 top processes which utilize system memory? | 14:30 |
| l33tch | Siearra 3g modem basically.. .modprobe sees the device merely as sierra | 14:30 |
| sam-_- | User51, possible but unlikely | 14:30 |

| === mniejszezlo is now known as mnzl | ||

| shaw1337 | pradyumna: go to software centre search for wine install | 14:31 |
| coz_ | gladiator, in firefox install the addon gmail manager ... set that up and see if it connects via that | 14:32 |
| pradyumna | got it | 14:32 |
| shaw1337 | pradyumna: there is lot of info regarding how to play CS on ubuntu , google it ! | 14:32 |
| gladiator | sam-_-, ping google.com gives ~130ms. which is quite okay where i am | 14:32 |
| amit | hi i edited my host file but it doesnot works. i tried some ip m gvng some example just like 12.34.56.78 website.com but it doesnot work and local host website.com works | 14:32 |

| bredoto | does anybody know how can I view 10 top processes which utilize system memory? | 14:33 |
| sam-_- | l33tch, so sierra is modprobed? | 14:33 |
| amit | no answer? | 14:33 |
| gladiator | coz_, that would be a sad solution. if at all it is one .. :S | 14:33 |
| dnivra | bredoto, top is the command i guess. | 14:34 |
| coz_ | gladiator, yeah I realize that... wanted to see if it connected that way | 14:34 |
| dnivra | bredoto, there is also htop-a GUI to top. | 14:34 |
| l33tch | sam: yup.. there.. has wokred fine till i attached it to a virtual machine in virtualbox.... since then nothing, though still visible in lsusb and all thet normal spots | 14:34 |
| dnivra | !info htop | bredoto | 14:34 |
| ubottu | bredoto: htop (source: htop): interactive processes viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.3-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 61 kB, installed size 212 kB | 14:34 |
| bredoto | dnivra, i have no gui | 14:34 |
| dnivra | bredoto, then use the command top | 14:35 |
| Darael | bredoto, dnivra: htop's not exactly a GUI, but it /is/ top with bells on. | 14:35 |
| sam-_- | l33tch, then you may need to unload the virtualbox modules | 14:35 |
| Darael | bredoto: htop runs in a terminal just like top does, but some people (myself included) find it easier to use. | 14:35 |
| dnivra | Darael, oh! okay i see. well bredoto you can be happy with top or htop then :) | 14:35 |
| amit | so sad not any solution :( | 14:35 |
| pradyumna | how to attach a disk partition to ubuntu? | 14:36 |
| bredoto | dnivra, top does not provide usage that sorts by memory for first 10 or 5 processes | 14:36 |
| gladiator | coz_, it makes firefox get stuck. | 14:36 |
| Darael | pradyumna: If it doesn't appear automatically, look in the Computer section of your file manager. | 14:36 |
| l33tch | sam: it's strange.. all other devices work as soon as i detach.. the just re-attach to the main system.. but in this case.. even rebooting doesn't help | 14:36 |
| erUSUL | !fstab | pradyumna | 14:36 |
| ubottu | pradyumna: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:36 |

| Darael | bombshell: you can do something very like auto-copy anywhere in Ubuntu - highlight what you want to copy, then middle-click where you want to paste it. | 14:45 |
| Darael | bombshell: If you don't have a middle mouste button or a scroll wheel, you can use both mouse buttons to do the same thing. | 14:46 |

| mrcreativity | i quit using windows a few months ago | 14:55 |
| plzhalp | hi all! | 14:55 |
| GaryD | Darael: why would a disk beep loudly every second or so when burned from the command line? | 14:55 |
| mrcreativity | so im really stumped | 14:55 |
| AdvoWork | shaw1337, on my ubuntu server, im doing (in /etc/fstab) 192.168.0.207:/mnt/Data/test/files/ /home/newtest nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr but it gives the error: mount: 192.168.0.2:/mnt/Data/test/files/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied. | 14:56 |
| m4xx | where can i find a copy of the default pam.d files? | 14:56 |
| cba123 | Darael, So I ssh into the other machine, do ssh-keygen, and add that key to my local authorized hosts, and I can connect to the server, but it can't connect to me? | 14:56 |
| Darael | mrcreativity: You need to convert it to a suitable format (arista will do that) and then put it in the /media/psp-memstick-whatever-its-called/MEDIA/VIDEO folder. I think. | 14:56 |
| AdvoWork | shaw1337, i do exactly the same to my old freenas box, using the same command, all i do is change the ip, so something on the old freenas box allows it to work, but not on the new. I've looked in /etc/exports, there is an entry but its not related to those folders. "/mnt/Data/whatever/whatever/ -alldirs -mapall=root -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0" so a bit unsure why it wont mount | 14:56 |
| bastidrazor | mrcreativity: take the memory card out of the psp and use a card reader to access it from ubuntu. that is how i used to do it a few years ago | 14:56 |
| Darael | cba123: You generate the key on the machine you want to connect from, then do ssh-copy-id to the one you want to connect to. | 14:57 |
| mrcreativity | Darael, thats just the thing. i tried that already., arista is spectacular btw, | 14:57 |
| plzhalp | just installed Ub 10.10 from LiveCD. yet setup did not install that boot-loader thingee. | 14:57 |
| GaryD | anyone??? | 14:57 |
| Darael | mrcreativity: Hmm, not sure then. You could try /media/psp/VIDEO ? | 14:57 |
| mrcreativity | Darael, that too. googling as we speak. unfortunately most psp users are windows users, | 14:58 |
| mrcreativity | Darael, thanks for the help anyway. | 14:58 |
| Love | Quit: Leaving | 14:58 |
| cba123 | Darael, Ah, ok, so I generate the key locally, and add it to the remote authorized keys? | 14:58 |
| Darael | cba123: That's right - you can automate the latter step by using ssh-copy-id from the local machine. | 14:59 |
| FishFace | plzhalp: You could try holding down the shift key while it boots. That might be what you are looking for. | 14:59 |
| cba123 | mrcreativity, I'd say when doubletwist comes out for linux (although I think it's long off) it would convert your videos for psp. | 14:59 |
| GaryD | ??? | 14:59 |
| bastidrazor | cba123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys has a great how to | 15:00 |
| cba123 | mrcreativity try this too http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-handheld-psp.html uses mencoder, from the command line, but should work. | 15:00 |
| mrcreativity | cba123, converting the videoes isnt the problem. getting them on the psp is | 15:00 |
| mrcreativity | cba123, or rather getting the psp to recognise them is | 15:00 |

| zerty | what to do ? | 15:01 |

| cba123 | GaryD, I'm not too familiar with that, but are you sure the video doesn't have that in it? As in can you play the iso with vlc? It might help others if you paste the command you entered, and also it makes it MUCH easier to read, at least for me, if you have 1 question mark, not 3, and at least an attempt at normal grammar (I not i). | 15:07 |

| GaryD | i used devede to convert the avi to iso....it has never made that beep appear in any movie i've converted before...why would it now??? | 15:11 |
| Darael | chombee: Hmm, that's odd, I distinctly remember one of the short names being xfix... does one mention the X server? | 15:11 |
| chombee | Darael: Just googled, sounds like that got removed | 15:11 |
| cba123 | GaryD, So that's your issue, the iso you created. But *please* I will not respond wthout an attempt at better grammar. 1 punctuation mark, and spaces after them. | 15:12 |
| Darael | chombee: You sure? I used it in Maverick quite recently, they must have put it back in. Drop to a root shell and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead. | 15:12 |
| zerty | what i have to do exactly ? Darael | 15:12 |
| cba123 | GaryD, "i used devede to convert the avi to iso....it has never made that beep appear in any movie i've converted before...why would it now???" should be "I used devede to convert the avi to iso... It has never made that beep appear in any movie I've converted before... Why would it now?" before I will respond again. | 15:13 |
| IdleOne | cba123: Please consider that not everybody first language is English. | 15:13 |
| chombee | Darael: Is xfix a menu option or a command? | 15:13 |
| Darael | chombee: A menu option. | 15:13 |
| Darael | zerty: I don't know, sorry, it was just an idea. | 15:13 |
| GaryD | cbe123: forget about my grammar...my sentences aren't started with a capital letter either...so...if you can't help me...leave me alone... | 15:13 |

| p1l0t | scared the crap out of me thought the whole server went down | 15:15 |
| IdleOne | GaryD: sounds to me like it may be a hardware issue. I don't see any reason why you would get a beep from the file you burned. | 15:15 |
| chombee | Darael: I just deleted xorg.conf and rebooted and X is back. I think there is not supposed to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, when he edited settings in the GUI it created a bad one | 15:15 |
| Darael | chombee: That sounds about right. There can be, but X mostly autoconfigures these days. | 15:15 |
| cba123 | IdleOne, Yes, but one question mark as opposed to 3 isn't mastery of the English language, as I don't know of any language where that is correct. The rest of his sentences seem fine, wording is fine, not grammar. | 15:15 |

Specifically, I'm looking for an application to automatically open a file using the appropriate file viewer based on either the file's mimetype, file extension, or `file $1` output. | 15:48 |
| sacarlson | bencc: this is the deb file broken down, what I found is scripts preinst and postinst in the control file http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html | 15:48 |

| kyja | anyone have a good guide to getting php5 and apache to work right? | 15:50 |
| Guest78704 | hi when I was using ubuntu, my screen suddenly go black and it happens every time I try to boot it but I am able to boot debian on second hd normaly, but I cant even boot ubuntu install disk, the screen always go black when I want to install it | 15:50 |
| sam-_- | bencahill, but then it should work | 15:51 |
| bencahill | sam-_-: right, I can manage that :) | 15:51 |
| bencahill | sam-_-: ok, I'm off to try it :) | 15:51 |
| PhoenixSTF | kyja: whats the problem? | 15:51 |
| sam-_- | bencahill good luck | 15:51 |
| sacarlson | kyja: my install of php5 and apache2 are working fine | 15:52 |
| Longer | witam! | 15:52 |
| eurythmia | allu2, sorry, that last message was meant for you. | 15:52 |
| kyja | PhoenixSTF, I don't even have a php file in www and localhost through firefox insists for me to download | 15:52 |
| Longer | ubuntu 10.10 and Nvidia Optimus ?? | 15:52 |
| sacarlson | kyja: what application is it you are trying to run in your php5? | 15:52 |
| ebeeb | ZykoticK9: thank you | 15:52 |
| denysonique | kyja: don't use php | 15:52 |
| eurythmia | allu2, apparently nautilus doesn't have the functionality built in, but it uses "gnome-open" which can be called from the command line. Thanks; without your suggestion it would have taken me much longer to figure that out. | 15:53 |
| denysonique | kyja: use Django or Ruby On Rails | 15:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest78704, you might want to have a look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html | 15:53 |

| dpy | is there any information how (k)ubuntu manages its NICs? The info about network configuration used to be in /etc/network/interfaces but apparently since upstart things have changes, because I have a configured eth0 and no such entry in /etc/network/interfaces | 15:56 |
| sacarlson | complete: I'm not sure there's a command for it but look in /etc/init.d dir see if something is there that looks like it | 15:56 |
| complete | sam-_-: how? i dont have any icons or buttons or anything. | 15:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | complete, if you have anything set in /etc/network/interfaces then nm-applet won't work, verify you don't have any iface lines except for "lo" | 15:56 |
| complete | sacarlson: yes, there is "network-manager" | 15:57 |
| Pici | pradyumna: Yes. The are packages in the repositories as well as a PPA that has updated versions. | 15:57 |
| kyja | PhoenixSTF, you know. I think I will scrap what I have and go for lamp. problem solved. | 15:57 |

| bonjoyee | complete: that will restore the panels...u made any customisations? | 16:04 |

| sacarlson | complete: I deleted network-manger so I can't see what the name is in add applets with right click on control panel, can someone tell him the name | 16:06 |
| D3ath101 | how do i auto identify? | 16:06 |
| erUSUL | sacarlson: nm is not in that list. | 16:06 |
| sacarlson | erUSUL: so what applet is added to have it? I don't use it so I don't know | 16:07 |
| sayres | Any chance that the Mac 10.5 Leopard to be installed into ubuntu 10.10?:-! | 16:07 |
| erUSUL | sacarlson: you run nm-applet and it puts itself in a notification area. so what you probably want is to add one | 16:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | sacarlson, it's "notification area" i believe, but he's using the German version | 16:07 |
| Darael | sacarlson: it isn't an applet, you run "nm-applet". | 16:07 |
| complete | i guess "notification area" is "benachrichtigungen" in german. let me try that. | 16:07 |
| zerty | log file just only show if the connection is ok or fail, but no information why can't write etc ..., i also check the permission on that folder llutz | 16:08 |
| erUSUL | sacarlson: notification area. | 16:08 |
| zerty | log file just only show if the connection is ok or fail, but no information why can't write etc ..., i also check the permission on that folder llutz_ | 16:08 |
| Darael | sacarlson: I realise that sounds like a contradiction but it's a notification area applet rather than a panel one. | 16:08 |
| erUSUL | área de notificación in spanish ;P | 16:08 |
| complete | so how do i restart nm-applet now? | 16:08 |
| sacarlson | I hope complete got that after all that noise we genereated | 16:08 |
| sam-_- | complete, search for the icon with and i with a circle around | 16:08 |
| bonjoyee1 | sacarlson: theres no way to delete nm as such...he deleted the notification area!! | 16:08 |

| MotherMother | ? | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | complete: do «alt +f2» and run nm-applet | 16:09 |
| sam-_- | pkillall nm-applet && nm-applet | 16:09 |
| sayres | Any chance that the Mac 10.5 Leopard to be installed into ubuntu 10.10? | 16:09 |
| sacarlson | bonjoyee1: well I don't have it in my panel so I don't recall what I did to delete it but didn't need it since I'm static | 16:09 |
| bencahill | sam-_-: ah yes, gparted is much nicer :) ok, it's partitioned/formatted, off to copy! | 16:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | MotherMother, if you specified "manual" for partitioning you need to specify a / mount | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | sam-_-: is pkill or killall | 16:09 |
| Darael | MotherMother: You need to define a root partition: that is, you need to have one used as / | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | sam-_-: pkill is prefered | 16:09 |
| zerty | log file just only show if the connection is ok or fail, but no information why can't write etc ..., i also check the permission on that folder llutz_ | 16:09 |
| sam-_- | erUSUL, yes. thx | 16:10 |
| MotherMother | Ah, and how should i do that exactly? | 16:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | MotherMother, why are you selecting manual partitioning? | 16:10 |
| MotherMother | because I am installing ubuntu on a partition of the C:\ drive | 16:11 |
| MotherMother | I'm now going back to the normal install menu | 16:11 |

| bencahill | sam-_-: hmm, when I do sudo fdisk -l upon inserting the usb drive, it says that the physical/logical partitions do not have the same beginning and end (non-Linux?), and that they do not end on cylinder boundaries. They were created with gparted using the default settings (like with 1 MiB of space before), should I be concerned about these messages? | 16:28 |
| bonjoyee | MotherMother: start install...when the partition manager comes up..select manual scheme ...and then select the proper partition to install ubuntu to | 16:28 |
| PhoenixSTF | abhijit: ok m8 you got 2 chances get the pc on the network and try to install it get the package, or download the reposotories and set up a virtual machine with it! for what u want you dont have that many solutions | 16:28 |
| bencahill | bonjoyee: haven't had the time yet :) | 16:29 |

| madmax_x | anyone here familiar with mixmaster/sendmail? | 16:29 |
| sacarlson | LB: what you should learn is that when people don't understand is partly because they don't have enuf information in the problem to even know if they can help | 16:29 |
| bonjoyee | MotherMother: after you select the partition...u have to select edit..and set mount point to / | 16:29 |
| PhoenixSTF | abhijit: lol good luck with it, i havent ever made that one, but you got some cool recipes on the net google it m8 ;) | 16:30 |

| zerty | for webroot folder what group i have to affect ? | 16:31 |
| MotherMother | banjoyee: Ah, that explains alot, but i have a short question: Before selecting the mount point i need to select "Use as:" What do i need to put there? | 16:31 |
| bonjoyee | MotherMother: ext4 should work well... | 16:31 |
| sacarlson | LB: broken package in a system that can't even boot? | 16:31 |
| sam-_- | bencahill, post to pastebin.com? | 16:31 |

| ZykoticK9 | dnivra, i just confirmed - on my eee, yes returning from hibernate is the same as from standby - with the lock screen and NOT the Login screen. So it does appear that you are restarting rather then returning from hybernate. Sorry I have no suggestions. | 16:45 |
| sherbieny | is it okay this way | 16:45 |

| dury | Kwuicui: right... which studies did you do? about computing? | 17:20 |
| maco | bonjoyee: in ubuntu's installer, you can choose manual partitioning and choose not to format the / partition. in that case, /home is preserved. based on what was said on the ubuntu devel mailing list about this 2 years, it seems that *only* /home is kept | 17:21 |
| dnivra | maco, okay then. i'm no practical expert in these-just theoretical knowledge of dynamic linking etc thanks to my OS classes :). good enough. | 17:21 |

| tehbaut2 | I'm using a live cd and transferring files from one drive to another it says it cannot create a folder because there's no space left on the device, but there are in fact 1.5TB left on this device! | 17:28 |
| bencahill | well, for everyone else, how do i get a uuid in fstab without typing it by hand? | 17:28 |
| dnivra | maco, this definitely sounds dumb but considering i did clean installs of all earlier versions, is there any reason why hibernate wouldn't work if you don't do a clean install? | 17:28 |
| maco | dnivra, bonjoyee: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-May/004229.html <-- about /home being preserved | 17:28 |
| dury | Kwuicui: you mean under ubuntu? | 17:29 |
| dnivra | maco, thanks will check it out. | 17:29 |
| maco | dnivra: not that i can think of | 17:29 |
| sacarlson | bencahill: cut and paste | 17:29 |
| sanjoy | how to install B.S. player | 17:29 |
| maco | i should bookmark. get people asking about it often enough | 17:29 |
| llutz_ | bencahill: sudo blkid |awk '/sda6/ {print $2}' |sudo tee -a /etc/fstab | 17:30 |
| llutz_ | bencahill: for /dev/sda6 as example | 17:30 |
| dnivra | maco, somebody suggested that to me so thought i'd ask. i've been having that issue only in 10.10 and i've not done a clean install of 10.10 alone. | 17:30 |
| Kwuicui | dury: yes | 17:30 |
| bencahill | sacarlson: cli | 17:30 |
| sacarlson | bencahill: llutz_: sounds even better | 17:30 |
| D3ath101 | how do i target a specific app using the kill command? | 17:31 |
| maco | dnivra: the only things i know of that will reliably kill hibernate are: A) encrypted swap B) too small swap and C) hardware incompatibilities | 17:31 |
| llutz_ | sacarlson: yours needs much less typing :) | 17:31 |
| sanjoy | how to install B.S. player in ubuntu? | 17:31 |
| burt_ | Try with wine | 17:31 |
| sacarlson | llutz_:well he could cut and paste what you showed him into a command terminal | 17:32 |
| dnivra | maco, well i have 5GB swap and 4GB ram. hardware incompatibilities? like? and encrypted swap? now how can i verify that? | 17:32 |
| zerty | hello i got a message on my server there are "1 zoombie process ", what that it mean , how to identify it ? | 17:32 |
| dury | Kwuicui: maybe you haven't got the plugins to open the .avi, .mp4, .mov, .flv etc | 17:32 |
| maco | dnivra: if you had encrypted swap, you'd know | 17:32 |
| zerty | zombie | 17:32 |
| arthur_ | #javascript | 17:32 |
| maco | dnivra: hardware incompatibilities = some driver is doing something slightly wrong in attempting either to convince a piece of hardware to enter a no-power state or in convincing it to wake up again | 17:33 |
| D3ath101 | dnivra: how do i target using kill command ? | 17:33 |
| sacarlson | bencahill: oh and paste in cli is shift<ctl>v | 17:33 |
| Some_Person | Can I check the CD's integrity without rebooting the live CD? | 17:33 |
| wilgil | Anyone familiar with how drives get there names i.e. /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc? I am trying to setup a raid 5 array. It keeps dropping drives on reboot and I have noticed that the drives to not get the same name at every boot. | 17:33 |
| dnivra | maco, i can confirm the 5GB swap is detected. i think the hibernation also happens properly-behaviour is right. but resume doesn't happen. same case with suspend. resume doesn't work. | 17:33 |
| maco | dnivra: as for ram...if you were swapping 2GB and had your 4GB of RAM full, then it wouldnt fit in your swap to hibernate, but thatd be an awful lot of ram in use... | 17:33 |
| bonjoyee | maco: thanks for the link..looks interesting..however this should be made more prominent on the installer..and also this should only work if using the live cd right? | 17:34 |
| bencahill | llutz: thanks, just what I wanted :) | 17:34 |
| maco | bonjoyee: the alternate does it too. alternate has many more options than live | 17:34 |
| bencahill | sacarlson: is copy shift+ctrl+c? | 17:34 |
| maco | D3ath101: you put the process ID (PID) after the word "kill" | 17:34 |
| dnivra | D3ath101, kill takes the pid as argument. if you can't find the pid, try "killall <processname". no pid needed. you can find the pid using "ps -e" | 17:34 |
| bonjoyee | maco : does alternatecd use ubiquity? ..i thought it uses the debian installer? | 17:35 |
| sacarlson | bencahill: yes if from cli but in some windows edit>copy | 17:35 |
| Cameron | Hello | 17:35 |
| maco | bonjoyee: right, d-i .. but slightly modified | 17:35 |
| bencahill | sacarlson: cool! | 17:35 |

| Cameron | The problem isn't really with Ubuntu or anything | 17:36 |
| Cameron | it's GRUB | 17:36 |
| bonjoyee | maco: ok..thanks anyways..:) | 17:36 |
| dnivra | maco, i had that issue earlier-issue command to hibernate but instead screen just locks. then realized that swap wasn't detected. so had to add to fstab. then resume doesn't work. suspend and hibernate have same issues. | 17:36 |
| tehbaut2 | I'm using a live cd and transferring files from one drive to another it says it cannot create a folder because "Error creating directory: no space left on device" ...but there are in fact 1.5TB left on this device! Any idea why it's throwing this error? It's really annoying, as you can probably imagine. | 17:36 |
| maco | dnivra: since this was an upgrade, can you boot into an old kernel? | 17:36 |
| Meway | Hello, yesterday (Mind my ocd), I installed ubuntu 10.10 and spotted what I think is to be a graphical issue. In my panel bar located on the right side of my wireless symbol is a white rectangle idk if this was on purpose or not but it is quite unattractive. | 17:37 |
| dnivra | maco, looking at your description it seems like a hardware issue :(. but it worked fine earlier. | 17:37 |
| Bondv6 | zerty, It usually indicates a software problem. it means a subprocess has finished executing, but is still in the process table: "ps aux | grep Z" should list them | 17:37 |
| Meway | I can take a screenshot if needed | 17:37 |
| maco | dnivra: you're describing a bug being introduced into a driver | 17:37 |
| Cameron | So, yeah, I installed Linux onto this PC and resized an NTFS partition while doing so | 17:37 |
| dnivra | maco, i deleted the old kernels :(. i have a 9.10 live cd with me, think i should try copying kernels from there? | 17:37 |
| bonjoyee | maco: i have moved to debian after 3 years with ubuntu..but its a nice feature.. | 17:37 |
| Cameron | I can access the files on the NTFS partition | 17:37 |
| Meway | Cameron, um lol | 17:37 |
| Petskull | hey, guy- is the x64 version of ubuntu still fraught with trouble, or is it better now? | 17:37 |
| Cameron | but now XP won't boot | 17:38 |
| Petskull | "guys" | 17:38 |
| maco | bonjoyee: cjwatson would know whether it's in debian's d-i. he's the maintainer in ubuntu and i think in debian as well | 17:38 |
| dnivra | maco, so you think it could be a bug in maverick? | 17:38 |

| cryptic[1] | rautamiekka yes im installing ubuntu on another desktop, and i dont know what partitions to do | 17:46 |
| Bondv6 | wilgil, it has something to do with device ordering. you could mount them with /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or /dev/disk/by-label if they have filesystem labels. those won't change like the devices can do | 17:46 |
| ikonia | cryptic[1]: take the ubuntu default ones if you're not confident | 17:46 |

| Meway | ikonia, I did and it does not look anywhere near as easy as .bat files | 17:51 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill: how far have you come? | 17:51 |
| ikonia | Meway: it's not | 17:51 |

| chainlock | hi | 17:53 |
| Bondv6 | wilgil, if you are using mdraid, it should label the drives so they will mount correctly | 17:53 |
| cryptic[1] | well the system is still ntfs, but i thought it must be ext4. | 17:53 |
| ikonia | cryptic[1]: it should be | 17:53 |
| dwain | "not a dynamic executable" | 17:53 |
| bonjoyee | bencahill: have u not done a clean install? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | cryptic[1]: the partitioner will do this for you if you accept the defaults | 17:53 |
| ikonia | dwain: ahh ha | 17:53 |
| CarlFK | ikonia: it think it is just as easy for similar task. it gets harder when you want to do stuff that you can't really do in a .bat - in that case I don't think easy/hard is really an issue | 17:53 |
| tehbaut2 | I'm using a live cd and transferring files from one drive to another it says it cannot create a folder because "Error creating directory: no space left on device" ...but there are in fact 1.5TB left on this device! Any idea why it's throwing this error? Google hasn't been of any help. | 17:53 |
| Meway | ikonia, ok I guess I have no choice than. :/ | 17:54 |
| ikonia | CarlFK: I don't disagree, | 17:54 |
| wilgil | i am pretty new to software raid in linux. i am using mdadm. I am not sure if that is the same thing or not. | 17:54 |
| wilgil | Bondv6: sorry, i am pretty new to software raid in linux. i am using mdadm. I am not sure if that is the same thing or not. | 17:54 |
| dwain | ikonia, So what does that mean? The exact same file runs fine on my Ubuntu Desktop machine. | 17:55 |
| bonjoyee | dwain: desktop and server both 32bit? | 17:56 |
| Bondv6 | wilgil, yeah, that was what I was thinking of too. md raid | 17:56 |
| dwain | No, they're both 64 bit | 17:56 |

| dwain | I can access a page from localhost on the server using w3m / Lynx, but I can't access it from another machine on the LAN. Any ideas why? | 18:31 |
| bonjoyee | dwain: can u ping the server from the desktop? | 18:32 |
| dwain | Yes. | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | dwain: check firewall settings. also. | 18:32 |
| stiltwater | dwain, if it's only available on localhost, it won't be available to another machine. it has to be available at your.lan.ip.whatever | 18:32 |
| dwain | The firewall is set to allow all traffic. | 18:32 |
| dwain | I know, I'm trying to access it through the LAN IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.107) | 18:33 |
| dwain | I can access other sites on the server, such as Webmin | 18:33 |
| dwain | But not this one. | 18:33 |
| bonjoyee | dwain: install nmap on your desktop..and do nmap -PN <serverip> | 18:33 |
| ArKoNA | #liberatedAria | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dwain: its possible tjhe web server has some security settings on it. to allow only specific interfaces, | 18:34 |
| dwain | Dr_Willis, it has a hosts file, which I've edited to allow all connections | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis | dwain: then again - if webmin has been used to configure the web server.. it may have done somthign wrong. webmin is not reccomened to use on Ubuntu. | 18:34 |
| stiltwater | dwain, my point was, on the server, it's available at http://localhost:whatever. Is it available, on the server, to http://servers.own.ip.address:whatever ? | 18:34 |
| dwain | No, webmin did not configure the web server. | 18:34 |
| stiltwater | if not, it won't be available to other computers at http://servers.own.ip.address:whatever either. | 18:35 |
| Ashattack22 | i have a quick question | 18:35 |

| ZykoticK9 | !webmin | dwain FYI | 18:35 |
| ubottu | dwain FYI: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 18:35 |
| stiltwater | dwain, so the server is only binding to the localhost interface, and not the ethernet interface. That's what you have to fix in the server configuration. | 18:36 |
| Abhish | I have an ALPS touchpad. For the love of god can I get this thing to shut off while typing? | 18:36 |

| trism | nicofs: you can specify a different locale on the command line for a specific program: LANG=ja_JP.utf8 gedit; for example, but I am unsure if you can change the whole session language without logging out first | 18:49 |
| waltercool | elias79, mount -t tmpfs none "folder" ? | 18:49 |
| elias79 | i nkow about tmpfs but i did not work | 18:49 |
| elias79 | whats none for ? | 18:50 |
| nicofs | trism, that's even better... thank you... | 18:50 |
| tehbaut2 | nicofs: No, system just doesn't detect the flash drive | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | elias79: ive seen some guides on it.. but id have to google for the info - not used that in ages. | 18:50 |
| waltercool | elias79, none is none :) The command is "mount source destination" | 18:50 |

| waltercool | elias79, dynamic size as i know | 18:52 |
| elias79 | how does dynamic size work ? | 18:52 |
| waltercool | elias79, when you add a file, the ram usage will grow | 18:53 |
| elias79 | im want to put an virtual machine on it | 18:53 |
| tehbaut2 | nicofs: I used the Linux pendrive utility on Windows, just as recommended on the download page | 18:53 |
| elias79 | oh | 18:53 |
| elias79 | so if its not growing somethings not right | 18:53 |
| elias79 | am i correct or not | 18:53 |

| nicofs | tehbaut2, try http://old.linuxliveusb.com/ i think that tool is better... otherwise try to set the bootflag for your pen... | 18:54 |
| waltercool | elias79, its like a common hard disk, but your free space is shared with your ram usage | 18:54 |
| elias79 | ok | 18:55 |
| Wyn | D3ath101: welcome back :D first, try running Netstumbler under Wine | 18:55 |
| waltercool | elias79, fill your tmpfs and you will filling your ram usage ;) | 18:55 |
| elias79 | what about dev/smh what that for ? | 18:55 |
| D3ath101 | Wyn: yea, ill be here alot | 18:55 |
| D3ath101 | lol | 18:55 |
| elias79 | is that the same type | 18:55 |
| waltercool | elias79, is a tmpfs drive ;) | 18:55 |
| Wyn | D3ath101: Also Prism, SWScanner | 18:56 |
| tehbaut2 | nicofs: will give it a shot, thanks :) | 18:56 |
| waltercool | elias79, is commonly used for volatile cache | 18:56 |

| MagicJ | can someone please explain to me the meanings of the numbers at the start of each entry in the output from dmesg | 18:57 |
| waltercool | elias79, uhmmm sorry, idk about that, im using gentoo btw | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | MagicJ: i think its like some sort of date/time. ibe never figured it out. :) | 18:57 |
| MagicJ | De_Willis - I agree - but the question is what | 18:57 |
| elias79 | ok | 18:57 |
| MagicJ | Dr_willis=De_willis - sorry | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | MagicJ: start with man dmesg perhaps | 18:57 |
| waltercool | elias79, but /dev/shm is just tmpfs for applications | 18:58 |
| mtraker | do you know siteurgent.com . I've my site there and I cant see the site | 18:58 |
| MagicJ | Dr_Willis - I did start there - that's why I am here | 18:58 |
| trism | MagicJ: I think it is seconds since boot | 18:58 |
| D3ath101 | speaking of wow, i should prolly do an instALL. | 18:58 |
| MagicJ | ah - let me test that theory trism - that may make sense and I can check that - brb | 18:58 |
| waltercool | elias79, tmpfs is really useful for cache ;) Im currently using tmpfs on /tmp | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | heh - man dmesg - says to see 'man syslogd' but there seems to be no syslogd man page | 18:59 |

| Some_Person | This is very very bad: I've just realized that the random crashing that plagued my maverick install before (which was an upgrade from lucid) is present on the live CD as well | 19:18 |
| Some_Person | What can I do other than go back to lucid and hope things are fixed in natty? | 19:19 |
| rumpe1 | bezao, "if i do it before mount, when i mount the mount cover the ln -s" <- don't understund | 19:19 |

| xak944 | |Bboy|: .bash_profile is a relative path to what your current working directory is. ~/.bash_profile is an explicit path specifying your home directory (via ~/) | 19:22 |
| D3ath101 | Can someone plz tell me how to install SWscanner. | 19:22 |
| |Bboy| | xak944: thanks | 19:22 |
| Some_Person | Also, what happens if I install lucid over a screwed up maverick? | 19:22 |
| |Bboy| | xak944: when i terminal into my machine, is the ~/ needed.. and is it just safer to use the ~/ | 19:23 |
| forceflow | Some_Person: you get a screwed up lucid? | 19:23 |
| burt_ | It's easy if install first windows 7 and after it ubuntu. | 19:23 |
| xak944 | |Bboy|: use ~/ prefix to be safe | 19:24 |
| xak944 | |Bboy|: you can check your Present Working Directory with command: pwd | 19:24 |
| |Bboy| | xak944: thank you | 19:24 |
| Some_Person | forceflow: I don't see how | 19:24 |

| YouArePwned | fuck, all these unix ftpd suck :@ | 19:25 |
| xak944 | D3ath101: swscanner is very old software (from 2006). you might want to look for something newer that does the same thing | 19:25 |
| lancel | burt_, yes windows lost the bootloader or whatever it is but using liveCD it can be re-enabled | 19:26 |

| Some_Person | Does anyone know what happens if I install lucid over a screwed up maverick? | 19:28 |
| etheretic | I'm suffering terrible lag on a wifi connection, apparently related to routing problems. Have tried the madwifi ath_pci driver instead of ath5k, but reverted to ath5k because ath_pci didn't work. Have installed Bind9, but still no joy. Using Ubuntu 10.10, latest kernel. Suggestions? | 19:29 |
| developerhealey | crickj: Yea but doesnt raid require it to be setup prior to installing OS and services etc | 19:29 |
| burt_ | In that harddrive i hide some files to other operating system and can use it after that.,just for testing.:D | 19:30 |
| spasticteapot | Is anyone here familiar with Ubuntu and GRUB? I just deleted my Linux partition from a dual-boot XP/ubuntu box, and seem to have deleted GRUB with it. | 19:30 |
| spasticteapot | (I are teh dumb). | 19:30 |
| developerhealey | crickj: The only raid i was going to use would have been the Mirror.... But also.. (i don't want the machine to hiccup and keep reindexing the damn drives) I just was thinking software mirror at night time... off hours | 19:30 |
| === alyx is now known as Guest33184 | ||
| spasticteapot | Can I just install 10.10 and have it magically fix everything? | 19:31 |
| crickj | developerhealey: I think raid software can be installed after os installation (may be wrong) | 19:31 |
| xak944 | spasticteapot: you'll have to reinstall a boot loader. do you want Grub or the windoze bootloader? | 19:32 |
| Some_Person | If I install lucid over a screwed up maverick install, will lucid work ok, and will /home be preserved? Will I need to make a new user? | 19:32 |
| etheretic | Some_Person: make a new partition and install to it. | 19:32 |
| Some_Person | etheretic: I don't want to make a new partition | 19:32 |
| i_is_broke | i was messing around with slackware the other day and it unmounted my swap partition, how do i get ubuntu to see it and use it again? | 19:32 |
| crickj | developerhealey: any other method would take a while to maintain an exact replica | 19:32 |
| spasticteapot | xak944: I don't have an XP disc, but the WinXP bootloader would be fine. | 19:32 |
| Some_Person | etheretic: I already have 4 primary partitions, so the new one would have to be extended | 19:32 |
| Some_Person | s/extended/logical | 19:33 |
| rumpe1 | Some_Person, you could get some incompatibilities for not-downgradeable configs in /home | 19:33 |
| xak944 | spasticteapot: you need an XP disc to reinstall its bootloader. in that case, boot to a linux live environment and run: grub-install /dev/<your harddrive> | 19:33 |
| spasticteapot | Yeah...don't really have one of those. :P | 19:33 |
| spasticteapot | I might be able to burn one, though. | 19:33 |

| nazgul | Hi. Some weeks ago I noticed that I am no longer asked once for my master keyring password, but always when required. I tracked it down to gnome-keyring-daemon not being started. See http://pastebin.com/CAz6f1QD . If I log out and again into my Gnome session it starts automatically by the session manager. this is the list of processes and env vars on first and second gnome session login: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546071/ .

| pedahzur | Figured it out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1109585 | 20:53 |
| thepro | thx | 20:53 |
| tehbaut2 | cousteau: no, just the ISO that I downloaded... (desktop, I386) | 20:53 |
| ltgg | root4rd3d: Nfiniti wireless-N | 20:53 |
| makaveli0129 | r00t4rd3d: it was working fine but now on the panel there is no wireless and ifconfig doesn't show it either i'm working with lucid | 20:54 |
| EDawg878 | the pro, here is a tutorial : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 20:54 |
| cousteau | tehbaut2, then just insert the disc and wait until it has loaded, you'll see a "What do you want to do now?" window asking you whether you want to install it or test it | 20:55 |
| tehbaut2 | trism: the first option is "install Ubuntu" and following that option takes me down a million different config screens that never used to be part of livecd boot up | 20:55 |
| biosftw | Hi the page loading is very slow on ubuntu & chrome is working fine.. seems to be no javascript/flash problem any ideas? | 20:55 |
| makaveli0129 | bisftw: are you referring to firefox? | 20:56 |
| tehbaut2 | cousteau: the only test option is "test memory" | 20:56 |
| cousteau | biosftw, use an ad blocker | 20:56 |
| EDawg878 | does anybody know where i can get 3D intel graphics drivers | 20:56 |
| makaveli0129 | biosftw: r u referring to firefox? | 20:56 |
| biosftw | makaveli0129: ups sorry using opera | 20:56 |
| nghb | hi. where can i find the "knl" utility? it should be an utility to set kernel image parameters, just like rdev, but i cannot find it | 20:56 |
| biosftw | but firefox seems to be very slow as well | 20:56 |
| makaveli0129 | biosftw: you said it runs fine with chrome though right? | 20:57 |
| r00t4rd3d | EDawg878, System , Administration , Additional Drivers show anything ? | 20:57 |
| trism | tehbaut2: after you select that option, X will load and there will be a menu with language selection and a button to try ubuntu without installing (I preferred having a separate option on the syslinux menu, but it is still there) | 20:57 |
| r00t4rd3d | ltgg, read you pm | 20:57 |
| ltgg | mongy: WPA2 TKIP | 20:57 |
| EDawg878 | r00t4rd3d, nope | 20:57 |
| r00t4rd3d | you on a laptop ? | 20:57 |
| biosftw | true so chrome is quite fast, page loading on opera/firefox takes around 40 secs ( i guess there is some problem with dns resolve but no clue) | 20:58 |
| geraudk2000 | please someone can give me a good website for free braindumps ccna | 20:58 |

| yaaar | hey guys. i'm looking to setup a webserver with some kind of chroot/jail functionality, and some research this morning turned up a whole bunch of different approaches...so now I'm a bit confused. what i'd really like is something similar to freebsd jails: all the user's processes are confined (in particular apache/ssh/ftp must all be properly sequestered), it has its own networking etc., and... | 21:01 |
| yaaar | ...can't be broken out of. can anybody recommend what i should be looking at? is mod_chroot good enough? vms? xen? | 21:01 |
| ltgg | mongy: am installing wicd now | 21:02 |

| oliver3_ | Hey, I'm trying to use wubi to install ubuntu on my netbook alongside windows.. apparently if you put the .iso in the same dir as wubi it should use it but it isn't. Instead, it's downloading a .torrent file which takes almost an HOUR, then downloads a new .iso to c:\ubuntu\install... anyone know how I can make wubi work as it's supposed to? | 21:02 |
| === chat is now known as Guest76360 | ||
| oliver3_ | it's ridiculous, I've been trying for 2 days to get ubuntu installed through wubi | 21:03 |
| bencahill | tehbaut2: that's what I said, the "Try Ubuntu" is the livecd "option", if you will | 21:03 |
| bencahill | oliver3_: what v of win? | 21:03 |
| tehbaut2 | trism: not seeing any option to try... I choose "install Ubuntu" then language, then country, then setup keyboard, then detect hardware... shouldn't the option to try Ubuntu have already been presented by this point | 21:03 |
| mongy | ltgg, did you test with no encryption? not the best plan in the world I know but it would narrow it down | 21:03 |
| oliver3_ | bencahill, xp sp3, but it's more the fact that wubi is downloading things monstrously slowly, it can't be my internet connection because everything else is as fast as ever | 21:03 |
| bpearce | anyone know how to deal with a hang on boot with EDID error??? | 21:04 |
| Wicked | !enemyterritory | 21:04 |

| bliss_ | erUSUL: i have this config file that I must amend i have a user and a password do i leave the the http location as it is http://pastebin.com/TbCMv5AV | 21:04 |

| fsifaoif | Hi. How can I install software for o t h e r user through apt? | 21:04 |

| rizo | is there a compiler directive that includes all libraries under /usr/lib/ directory. I am getting a lot of errors of "No such file or directory" for libraries located inside that directory? | 21:04 |

| bencahill | oliver3_: I don't think I've ever tried wubi myself, are behind any sort of proxy? | 21:06 |
| oliver3_ | So, does anyone know how to make the latest wubi use the iso file I've already downloaded? The wiki says to just place it in the same dir as the wubi installer, but that's blatantly not working. | 21:06 |
| bencahill | !ask | bpearce | 21:06 |

| dreimus | Hellow | 21:06 |
| oliver3_ | bencahill, no, mostly I just want wubi to use the file I've already downloaded manually, but it's not behaving as the docs say it should | 21:07 |
| dreimus | Can someone lead me to french IRC channel for ubuntu ? | 21:07 |
| bencahill | dreimus: hi there :) you have a question regarding ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| yaaar | anybody know if ubuntu can mount a ufs (freebsd 4.11) filesystem? | 21:07 |

| KM0201 | yaaar: it should be able to.. my NAS is UFS, and it reads/writes it just fine | 21:08 |
| dreimus | thanks :) | 21:08 |
| oliver3_ | Screw it just gonna hack the wubi source if that's what it'll take... | 21:08 |
| trism | tehbaut2: the button should be on the first page, where you select the language | 21:08 |
| KM0201 | oliver3_: why on earth would you do that? | 21:08 |
| bencahill | oliver3_: lol | 21:08 |
| tehbaut2 | bencahill: the second option is "check disk for defects" ...which is useless compared to the try option | 21:09 |
| bpearce | I have a macbook 2,1 running 10.10, I have *just* updated and upon reboot I cannot use the keyboard and mouse, upon booting into recovery I just get a stall on EDID calls, any ideas?? | 21:09 |

| === strelok_ is now known as strelok1 | ||
| oliver3_ | KM0201, because it's not behaving how it should. It's supposed to use the iso file in the same directory as itself when present, it isn't. Rather than doing so it's attempting to download the .torrent file (which presumably is < 200kB) which takes almost an hour, then it attempts to download the .iso which takes so long I gave up after 2 days. | 21:10 |
| tehbaut2 | bencahill: this disk is the latest ISO downloaded VIA torrent this morning | 21:10 |

| KM0201 | oliver3_: have you considered partitioning your drive and doing a normal install?... something scares me about "hcaking" wubi. | 21:10 |
| oliver3_ | KM0201, that's not possible, if it was I would. This machine has no CD drive and I don't own a USB drive to install from. | 21:11 |
| KM0201 | oliver3_: honestly, wubi is a big enough train wreck as it is.. you're goign down a slip slope w/ your current plan, but i wish you luck.. i sure wouldn't do it | 21:12 |
| lahwran | how do I tell network manager to not manage a device? | 21:12 |

| ZykoticK9 | lahwran, add the device to /etc/network/interfaces and nm-applet will stop managing it | 21:12 |
| oliver3_ | KM0201, meh, I'm literally only going to change the code which downloads the files so it doesn't, and just installs from the files that I'll have placed there. | 21:13 |
| makaveli0129 | root4rd3d: any ideas on that wireless? | 21:13 |
| oliver3_ | KM0201, surely it can't be that bad of a trainwreck that that'd be a big deal | 21:13 |
| KM0201 | oliver3_: i understand that.. but like i said... wubi has enough potential for damage.. I wouldn't go trying to make it worse | 21:13 |
| KM0201 | oliver3_: lol.. hang out here for a few days and watch the folks with wubi/unable to boot probs. | 21:13 |
| KM0201 | oliver3_: i guess my point is, if you're gonna do it, do it right | 21:14 |
| oliver3_ | KM0201, well, I'm not going to touch that code... but if I get that problem I suppose I'll be forced to buy a USB drive lol. | 21:14 |

| bencahill | KM0201: yeah, but it always says something about it if you don't, so I thought it might not see everything | 21:28 |
| Lobotomy | what do I get out of that? | 21:28 |
| Darael | KM0201: Some information is not available to lspci if you're not root. | 21:28 |

| bencahill | tehbaut2: right, that's what I was thinking also :) | 21:28 |

| Gladonias | How to restore my sources.list? | 21:30 |
| oliver3_ | Right, I found out why wubi doesn't use the ISO in its current dir... wubi copies/extracts itself to %temp%... then checks /that/ dir for the ISO..... | 21:30 |
| KM0201 | Darael: actually, i just ran sudo lspci, its the exact same thing | 21:30 |
| GaryD | KM0201: ok...can you tell me which is better to make a video dvd with - mencoder or ffmpeg? | 21:30 |
| Darael | bencahill: True. But I always use mini.iso if there's an internet connection available. Partly because I can fit it on an old 64M memory stick I have lying around. | 21:31 |
| KM0201 | GaryD: honestly i can't.. i know ffmpeg is quite popular | 21:31 |
| Linker | I am trying to install the system from flash drive. The drive was created using usb-creator.exe tool under Windows. When I'm booting from it using my laptop it says it can not find linux. Okay, I feed it with /casper/vmlinuz initrd=/casper/initrd.lz, then it loads. However at the end it says there's no init found, but I see with ls that it IS there. Does anybody have an idea why is that? | 21:31 |
| KM0201 | Gladonias: sorry, i dont' buy into the victim mentality.... | 21:31 |
| Lobotomy | ffffffff | 21:32 |
| tehbaut2 | so, how exactly does one go about getting the torrent for the non-alternate download? I don't see it on the main downloads page | 21:32 |
| stickyboy | I installed 'ubuntu-desktop' without recommends but now I want the recommends... do I have to remove then reinstall? | 21:33 |
| Darael | tehbaut2: It should be listed along with the alternate CD downloads. ubuntu-<release>-desktop-<arch>.iso, I think. | 21:33 |
| KM0201 | tehbaut2: its ont he same page you got the alternate cd torrent.. its just called ubuntu-desktop cd... (i386 for 32bit, 64bit for 64) | 21:33 |
| Gladonias | KM0201 Fuck off man. | 21:34 |
| guntbert | tehbaut: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download 2. torrents | 21:34 |
| oliver3_ | what.... | 21:34 |
| tehbaut2 | ah I see they have it hiding underneath the alternate | 21:34 |

| oscarvarto | Hi! | 21:35 |
| Darael | sinisterstuf: Whether it can be done depends on the 'phone. Your best bet is to google for "<phone model> ubuntu wifi tethering". | 21:36 |
| KM0201 | yup | 21:36 |
| oscarvarto | I want to build a ubuntu desktop. I live in Mexico | 21:36 |
| sinisterstuf | Darael, thanks for the advice I'll check it out, if it's possible at all then I'm sure my phone will be able to | 21:36 |
| Darael | mjwolf: nm doesn't handle tunnels, really. tun0 will therefore probably need to be handled by ifupdown instead. | 21:36 |
| mjwolf | k thx | 21:37 |
| Stylles | does anyone know where I can the driver perc H200 | 21:37 |
| Darael | mjwolf: You could try "sudo ifconfig tun0 mty 1200". | 21:37 |

| oscarvarto | assemble parts | 21:37 |
| Darael | mjwolf: *ahem*b I mean 1250, of course. | 21:37 |

| oscarvarto | on which components to buy so that i don't have hardware problems | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | oscarvarto: if oubuy "bleeding edge" anything, you can expect problems.. buying things that have been on the market a while, is a good way to build an ubuntu box, but is still not 100% | 21:41 |

| spliffi | hi community, is it possible to run a dhcp3-server daemon listening on one NIC, specifying let's say 10 very small subnets (2 IPs without netadd and broadcast) while one valid IP of each subnet is configured on another NIC via aliases eth1:0,eth1:1 and so on (all on the same host). Clients should get the remaining IP of a subnet, by sending a dhcp-request to a dhcp-relay (the other subnet-IP) which forwards it to the dhcp-server? The goal i | 22:25 |
| spliffi | s to build up a quarantine environment. | 22:25 |

| beemer | haha theres not even a /quit command | 22:29 |

| frank76 | nope. it's one i use at my church | 22:31 |
| Lantchips | I just installed it on my main PC and when I run it, it wont boot it just sends me to sort of a terminal based view instead of a graphical based view | 22:31 |

| frank76 | i'm thinking of changing my home network to WPA though so i can expiriment with it. | 22:31 |
| frank76 | i just don't understand why WPA doesn't show when i try to connect, but does when i go into properties. | 22:31 |
| bezao | what's this "wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" got using wine | 22:32 |
| lockersnatch | R3dy: no prob, i went through the same thing | 22:32 |
| R3dy | lockersnatch: with vmware? | 22:32 |
| Lantchips | Hmm I just installed a ubuntu 10.10 on my windows computer | 22:32 |
| Lantchips | and when I try to start Ubuntu it won't start | 22:32 |
| lockersnatch | R3dy: no, but it doesnt really matter. there is no rollback feature in ubuntu | 22:32 |
| R3dy | Well I have an Ubuntu 10.10 host os | 22:32 |
| R3dy | with VMware workstation | 22:32 |
| R3dy | and it is asking me for the location of my header files | 22:32 |
| frold | VCoolio: maybe I wasnt clear? I want this line to be executed every time I reboot: /etc/init.d/crashplan start | 22:32 |
| frank76 | i tried some walkthroughs but they all act as if on initial connection i can enter WPA. | 22:32 |
| R3dy | when I give it the locaiton it says that no header files matching my current running kernel can be found | 22:33 |
| Thopter | my update manager notified me today that there were new kernel updates available, so I started the process. It seems to have downloaded them properly, but it has been stuck at "Preparing linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic" for about two hours now. The cancel button is not available. Should I just let it be and see what happens, or do I have to force a reboot and try again? | 22:33 |
| R3dy | which is garbage because I give it the dir to the files for my running kernel | 22:33 |
| R3dy | 2.6.35-24.generic | 22:33 |
| lockersnatch | frank76: that is wierd...i did have some wireless issues when i was on 9.10, but upgraded to 10.04 and things worked fine | 22:33 |
| frank76 | i tried updating to 10 and my ability to connect to wireless went byebye. | 22:34 |

| bucky | R3dy, btw i don't use vmware so i don't know | 22:43 |
| syn3rgy | xinit I would guess | 22:43 |
| marion_ | iPittytheFoo it seems that it is running a little sluggish from when i first installed it | 22:43 |
| yggdrasil | can somone tel me how to install tor and privoxy on 10.4 ? packages arrent in the rep | 22:43 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: Any optimization that can be done automatically and without detriment for cetain uses is already done by default. | 22:43 |
| R3dy | bucky: yes I gave i that path | 22:43 |
| iPittytheFoo | marion_, i assume you have the recommened hardware for ubuntu | 22:43 |
| syn3rgy | There is no Tor for Maverick but the one for lucid works really well. | 22:43 |

| yggdrasil | thank you | 22:44 |
| marion_ | yes I do. | 22:44 |
| syn3rgy | I would also use wire shark to make sure you are not leaking any DNS info | 22:44 |
| itaylor57 | Jordan_U: linux id just works :>) | 22:44 |
| iPittytheFoo | marion_, are you using gnome gui | 22:44 |
| syn3rgy | go into Tors ppa and add the one for lucid | 22:44 |
| marion_ | is gnome the default gui | 22:44 |
| iPittytheFoo | marion_, yes | 22:44 |
| syn3rgy | yes it is marion | 22:44 |
| marion_ | than yes | 22:44 |
| syn3rgy | it is Metacity | 22:44 |
| marion_ | is gnome gui sluggish? | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: What is the output of "glxinfo | grep direct"? (if it's more than one line use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ) | 22:45 |

Should I just let it be and see what happens, or do I have to force a reboot and try again? | 22:45 |
| syn3rgy | No it is fast for what it is. Depends on how much junk you add to it though. | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: Often "sluggishness" in the GUI is caused by 3D driver problems. | 22:46 |
| marion_ | it says glxinfo is currnetly not installed | 22:46 |
| === bombshell is now known as bombshell[a] | ||
| Jordan_U | marion_: Install it. | 22:46 |
| Lantchips | Is there anyway I can get ubuntu without having to type startx every time ? | 22:46 |
| syn3rgy | At times I use FVWM on the xserver... | 22:46 |
| marion_ | Jordan when I say sluggish I mean that stuff takes a couple minutes to load | 22:46 |
| syn3rgy | but I think that Gnome since 2.30xxx as got rather OK | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: Can you give some examples? | 22:46 |
| syn3rgy | wow that sounds bad. | 22:47 |
| Darael | Thopter: Interrupting dpkg is generally a bad idea, but at this stage it's probably your only option. When you've rebooted, issue "sudo dpkg --configure -a" before you try again. | 22:47 |
| syn3rgy | Are you using the right drivers for your graphics card? | 22:47 |
| richard_ | hellp | 22:47 |

| aeon-ltd | yggdrasil: use a ppa | 22:48 |
| yggdrasil | ppa ? | 22:48 |
| yggdrasil | let me google | 22:48 |
| share | !firestarter | 22:48 |
| ubottu | 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. | 22:48 |

| Thopter | System Monitor currently shows dpkg as "uninterruptible" ^_^ I guess a forced reboot is the only way | 22:48 |
| yggdrasil | nah i got it | 22:48 |

| aeon-ltd | yggdrasil: ignore my comment then | 22:49 |
| yggdrasil | aeon-ltd: well im downloading it | 22:49 |
| yggdrasil | is it better than tor ? | 22:49 |
| Thopter | yes, Jordan_U? | 22:49 |
| aeon-ltd | yggdrasil: ok, because you could use a ppa and that would update tor for you | 22:49 |

| share | tips? | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | Thopter: There should be an "details" or "terminal" option in the update-manager window. It may simply be a dialog, and even if not you should get a better idea of what's hanging / where. | 22:50 |
| yggdrasil | ok well i added the repo from thier webiste | 22:50 |
| yggdrasil | so im all good now | 22:50 |
| iPittytheFoo | carbon177, are you looking for a WYSIWYG editor? | 22:51 |
| enterneo | KM0201: okay, now I am getting IP from router, but the problem is it will change everytime, I want to keep it static | 22:51 |
| DustyStreets | could someone recommend a pcmcia wireless network card? | 22:52 |

| KM0201 | enterneo: that probably needs to be set in your router(or it is in mine)... if you log in to your router, there's probably a way to assign IP's to devices. Now, your router sees your VirtualMachine as a completely different machine.. so you can assign it an IP there (at least thats what i always do) | 22:52 |
| Thopter | that's it... under the progress bar is where it says "preparing linux-image yadda yadda" | 22:53 |

| ohzie | Hey guys. I removed the sound icon from one of my panels and I can't figureo ut how to add it back on. I know this seems silly and trivial, but it's not in the list of applets. :( | 23:03 |
| ohzie | Any ideas? | 23:03 |
| Darael | android9191284: Did you at any point upgrade ( or try to) to the development release? If not, see what "lsb_release -a" has to say. | 23:03 |
| ohzie | Oh, ubuntu 10.04 | 23:03 |
| marion_ | Jordan_U 1.2 GiB Pentium 4 2.60 GHz | 23:03 |
| hippytaff | ohzie: should just be a matter of right clicking on the panel and selecting it1? | 23:03 |
| aeon-ltd | android9191284: what does 'lsb-release -a' say? | 23:04 |
| itaylor57 | android9191284: all is fine just a glitch inthe help info | 23:04 |
| android9191284 | says 10.10 mavervick | 23:04 |
| Darael | android9191284: Looks like a help info glitch as itaylor57 said, then. | 23:04 |

| toshiba | what is a mutter | 23:04 |
| android9191284 | heh | 23:04 |
| android9191284 | dettymac: what changes did you make in power setting? | 23:05 |
| dettymac | On my Dell with integrated video card I had to disable all power management setting | 23:05 |
| toshiba | i cant run compiz becuz of a mutter | 23:05 |
| android9191284 | how is that going to fix the abiliity to Suspend? | 23:05 |
| Sherberts | i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 | 23:06 |
| ohzie | hippytaff: Yeah it's not in the applet list, is my problem. : | 23:06 |
| Darael | toshiba: mutter is the default window manager for GNOME recently, I believe. | 23:06 |
| android9191284 | dettymac: how do you disable all settings? | 23:06 |
| displayissue | aeon searched Synaptic for xorg.conf & no exact matches | 23:07 |
| toshiba | darael:ok but why cant i run compiz | 23:07 |
| jstoone | Sherberts: what's your problem? | 23:07 |
| Darael | toshiba: I don't know. Are you running it with the --replace option? If not, try that. | 23:07 |
| toshiba | darael:i never miss with a laptop befor can you walk me thought it | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: That doesn't sound too bad but you may be better with a lighter version of Ubuntu like Xubuntu or Lubuntu. | 23:08 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, did you try 'compiz-check'? | 23:08 |
| hippytaff | ohzie: was it there by default? I don't have a sound effort on any of my panels? | 23:08 |
| marion_ | Jordan_U if I go lighter do i have to reinstall and redownload everything to my hdd | 23:09 |
| Sherberts | hi i hope u can help me i reboot after insall 10.10 and then i comes up with kernial panic and can not sync the a long line of stuff | 23:09 |
| Darael | hippytaff, ohzie: In Maverick, the sound applet appears to be a part of indicator-applet. It wasn't in Karmic, and right now I can't remember about Lucid, but it's worth looking at. | 23:09 |
| toshiba | unholyTerrorL: comm. not found | 23:11 |
| hippytaff | Dareal: I'm using Maverick and there is no sound applet..good to know though....cheers | 23:11 |
| sebastia | bye | 23:11 |
| Darael | marion_: Depends how you do it. It's usually possible to do it by installing your lighter option (xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop) and then purging ubuntu-desktop, which won't require you to /re/download anything though you'll have to download some stuff for the first time. | 23:11 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, do you have compiz-settings-manager installed? | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: No. You'll have to do a good bit of downloading (probably about 200 MB) but you can install the "lubuntu-desktop" package to get all the software that makes up lubuntu, and log out and back in again selecting the "LXDE" session from the login screen to try it out. | 23:12 |
| kinygos | hi...apologies for the truly n00b question, but which version of ubuntu should i install on a laptop computer? Desktop or Netbook? | 23:12 |
| dzup | that sounds like a treak | 23:12 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? | 23:13 |
| toshiba | Unholyterror: yes i do but when i try to reload windos nothing happen | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: If you do that then you'll end up with a pretty cluttered set of menus since you'll have all the applications that come with Ubuntu's GNOME desktop and all the ones from LXDE, but you can always decide to remove any applications later. | 23:13 |
| KM0201 | kinygos: desktop (netbook is for.. netbooks.. smaller than 10in screen) | 23:13 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, what windows??? | 23:14 |
| kinygos | KM0201: thank you very much, that's what i thought, but it seems i'm out of touch with terminology for computers that you carry around with you :) | 23:14 |
| KM0201 | kinygos: they are however, essentially the same OS.. just netbook edition has a GUI more suited to a small screen. | 23:14 |
| * agroker reloads his windos | 23:14 | |
| ohzie | Darael: That makes sense, because I removed the indicator applet and added it to another panel. I have the indicator back on...do you think the sound icon will come back when I log back in again or reboot the laptop? :) | 23:14 |
| marion_ | Jordan_U so the Lubuntu DEsktop environment | 23:15 |
| Darael | ohzie: It might do. A relog will be sufficiont if it's going to work. | 23:15 |
| kinygos | one other question, if i can successfully run ubuntu from a USB, am i right in assuming that all components are supported and i can safely completely replace the OS that's installed on the laptop with Ubuntu? | 23:15 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, what happens when you: System->Preferences->Appearance and turn on Normal or Extra? | 23:15 |
| === Guest13684 is now known as sloopy | ||
| Darael | kinygos: If you've tested everything you might want to use, no problems with wifi, etc. | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | marion_: LXDE stands for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, lubuntu stands for LXDE Ubuntu. | 23:16 |

| kriel | thinking of doing a dist-upgrade. if i move my /home to another partition and then do a clean install and, in the install, point the /home to the old one... will that work well? will it overwrite anything? do i need to delete any of the hidden folders? | 23:19 |
| fuzzybunny69y | Hey everyone! Is it possible to set things up so that a user on a system can sftp only into certain directories? | 23:19 |
| Jordan_U | kriel: Why not upgrade via update-manager? | 23:20 |
| ortsvorsteher | !sftp | 23:20 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 23:20 |
| alaa | any one can help me any forms in my server not post? | 23:20 |
| toshiba | unholyterror: you still on | 23:20 |
| Darael | kriel: That works fine. Actually, you don't need to have it on a separate partition as long as you do manual partitioning and don't format the one with /home on it - the installer will delete everything except stuff in the target's /home anyway. | 23:20 |
| ortsvorsteher | fuzzybunny69y, may you try sftp and search a documentation for change root homedirectory | 23:21 |
| Darael | kriel: You'll need to set up any users again, though, and I strongly advise using the same passwords and creating them in the same order with the same names. | 23:21 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, yep | 23:21 |
| kriel | Jordan_U: have unused diskspace (a windoze part that is no more), and generally don't trust dist-upgrades. do those work well? if they do, i may just manually move /home over and then do a dist-upgrade. | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | kriel: You don't need to move your /home to re-install while keeping it, http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life | 23:21 |
| kriel | figured i'd hit two birds with one stone. | 23:22 |
| toshiba | unholyterror: what is a mutter | 23:22 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, I have no idea what you are saying? can you take a screenshot (PrtSc) and pastebin it? | 23:22 |
| alaa | forms in my server not post? | 23:22 |
| Darael | UnholyTerror: As far as I can gather, toshiba is having trouble starting compiz because mutter is running. | 23:23 |
| chris_percol | alaa: are you using php, maybe you should look for a php group? | 23:23 |
| toshiba | that right | 23:23 |
| toshiba | darael: that right | 23:23 |
| simone | sfsfsf | 23:23 |
| alaa | @chris_percol this isn't programming issue, i this some thing wrong in my server? | 23:24 |
| kriel | okay, better questions. a) does dist-upgrade work well? b) how do i move my /home folder from single part mounted as / to a new part? | 23:24 |
| toshiba | darael: how would i stop mutter running and let compiz run | 23:24 |
| Darael | toshiba: Well, how are you trying to start compiz? Running "compiz" from a terminal or alt+f2? If so, just change that to "compiz --replace". | 23:24 |
| UnholyTerror | toshiba, From what I can see, it's not compatible... | 23:24 |
| toshiba | ok that | 23:25 |
| chris_percol | alaa: what is problem? | 23:25 |
| toshiba | can mutter do the same thing as compiz | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | kriel: A: I think they do but you'll get different opinions from different people, and you may be lucky or unlucky B: Before I answer that, you should probably read this: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life | 23:25 |

| toshiba | ok thank you | 23:33 |
| Darael | toshiba, UnholyTerror: Actually, come to think of it, I'm reasonably sure mutter is only used in ubuntu-netbook. Compiz doesn't work with Unity (that's the netbook interface). Well, not in Maverick. It's being worked on for Natty. | 23:33 |
| === Guest74055 is now known as ashish_ | ||
| toshiba | darael:can you tell wht mutter is | 23:34 |
| chris_percol | the_eye_: are you looking for sed? | 23:35 |
| Darael | toshiba: mutter is a window manager, like compiz. It does the same job. It works quite differently, though, which is why the netbook interface doesn't run with compiz. | 23:35 |
| Darael | !info mutter | toshiba | 23:35 |

| Darael | toshiba: What do you mean, all of it? You just can't get flashy things like the compiz cube on the netbook interface. It won't work, and in Maverick it's impossible to make it work. Next release you'll have a chance, but that's not until April. | 23:38 |

| mistergibson | Darael: I'm not looking to build any deps, just install them (w/o the main pkg) | 23:41 |
| KM0201 | battle_warrior: there are differences in Unix and Linux... | 23:41 |
| Darael | mistergibson: apt-get build-dep doesn't build the dependencies, it gets the packages required to build it. I'm still not sure how to do what you're after, though. | 23:41 |
| mistergibson | Darael: you know of any apt-get install option that might do all that | 23:42 |
| mistergibson | ? | 23:42 |
| mistergibson | I see | 23:42 |
| KM0201 | mistergibson: what are you trying to build? | 23:42 |
| mistergibson | KM0201: nothing in particular ... it just seems weird that a pkg manager does not seem to be able to simply install the deps of a pkg while excluding from the op the named pkg itself | 23:43 |
| mistergibson | portage does that, macports can do that, etc etc | 23:43 |
| mistergibson | but apt-get does not appear to be able to do that ... weird | 23:43 |
| craigbass1976 | Do I need to set up raid while I'm installing? I have two identical drives; Ubuntu is on one, and I want to mirror it on the other. | 23:43 |
| Darael | mistergibson: Not really. Why would you ever want to? | 23:43 |
| KM0201 | mistergibson: i guess.. doesn't seem strange to me. | 23:43 |
| mistergibson | Darael: are you kidding? | 23:43 |
| Darael | mistergibson: The only reason I can see is if you want to build the package from source, in which case you /do/ want apt-get build-dep. | 23:44 |
| Entelin | is there a fake / placeholder smtp server package in ubuntu? I'm doing my own custom thing for mail, but I need packages that depend on having one. I dont want to install postfix etc | 23:44 |
| chris_percol | craigbass1976: your raid probably needs setup at boot, before installing os | 23:45 |
| mistergibson | ok, nevermind | 23:45 |
| pyrite | Anyone able to assist with wireless signal issues? =/ | 23:46 |
| chris_percol | raid normally has a setup program at boot that lets you setup volumes etc | 23:46 |
| sam-_- | !ask |pyrite | 23:46 |
| ubottu | pyrite: 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. :-) | 23:46 |
| chris_percol | and raid level | 23:46 |
| grkblood | how do i convert an avi file to a gif? | 23:47 |
| chris_percol | can't remember what mirrored is, raid 0 or 1 maybe? | 23:47 |
| grkblood | 'convert' doesnt work | 23:47 |
| codyrobbins | Is there a way to install a package with apt-get from the multiverse without enabling it in sources.list? | 23:48 |
| Darael | grkblood: An avi is a video file, and a gif, while it can be animated, is essentially an image. Unless your avi es very short indeed it's a bad idea. | 23:48 |
| iPittytheFoo | grkblood, do you have windoze | 23:48 |
| codyrobbins | Is there any way to tell it to install from multiverse just this once on a single invocation? | 23:48 |
| grkblood | it is VERY short | 23:48 |
| grkblood | i have a windows box yes | 23:48 |
| itaylor57 | raid 1 mirrored | 23:48 |
| chris_percol | ta | 23:48 |
| anon__ | Is this the support channel? | 23:49 |
| Darael | anon__: It is, yes. | 23:49 |
| pyrite | Alright... Here is the problem.. Using Ubuntu 10, and a USB Belkin Wireless N adapter. the router will randomly turn off.. particularly if I am not actively transmitting anything. And when I am, the activity light will stop flashing for anywhere from 5 to 60 sec. sometimes longer. during which time, I am obviously not transmiting or recieving. It will typically recover. But Not always. any form of streaming media is constantly | 23:49 |
| pyrite | interupted.. Any ideas? | 23:49 |
| grkblood | Darael, its a very short file | 23:49 |
| iPittytheFoo | grkblood, it took me 2 seconds to find this........http://www.bitsoft.net/ | 23:50 |
| grkblood | iPittytheFoo, im in a linux room, not a windows room | 23:51 |
| ben_q | hey, why is Kate overwriting the file-group on save? | 23:51 |

| vsilverlord | hi, im downloading software. i want to write a shellscript which shutdowns the pc when the software is ready. how to do? | 23:52 |
| chris_percol | try shutdown --help, | 23:53 |
| Darael | grkblood: Then you'll need to dump the individual frames and assemble them into a gif. Convert won't do avi to gif because despite the blurred boundary it's from a video format to an imago one. | 23:53 |
| nikre | i bought a new hdd and now my fans are all at full speed. can anyone help? | 23:53 |
| grkblood | Darael, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/video/ | 23:53 |
| grkblood | it says it will | 23:53 |
| vsilverlord | well how can i link the shutdown command with the software center? | 23:53 |
| anon__ | My 10.10 ubuntu install will only boot correctly in low graphics mode, is this a problem with X? If so, how do I fix it? | 23:55 |
| Flare183 | anon__: Graphics Drivers | 23:55 |
| anon__ | Ah. | 23:55 |
| Goliath | is there any translation software like magenta for linux? | 23:55 |
| Goliath | i am interested in greek <=> english translation | 23:56 |
| chris_percol | vsilverlord: didn't realise you wanted to link them...why not write an apt-get install line in a script followed by shutdown command in same script? | 23:56 |
| detrate | is anyone familiar with sound issues that cause speakers to crackle? particularly when there in internet activity | 23:57 |
| detrate | I have verified my soundcard and speakers work on other computers | 23:57 |
| detrate | and it _used_ to work just fine | 23:57 |
| detrate | my onboard sound still works | 23:57 |
| detrate | I'm going to shoot myself in the ear if I continue to hear this crackling | 23:57 |
| pyrite | o.O | 23:57 |
| yaaar | hey guys. i'm looking to setup a webserver with some kind of chroot/jail functionality, and some research this morning turned up a whole bunch of different approaches...so now I'm a bit confused. what i'd really like is something similar to freebsd jails: all the user's processes are confined (in particular apache/ssh/ftp must all be properly sequestered), it has its own networking etc., and... | 23:58 |
| yaaar | ...can't be broken out of. can anybody recommend what i should be looking at? is mod_chroot good enough? vms? xen? | 23:58 |
| Darael | detrate: Please don't. It won't stop the crackling and it'll hurt. | 23:58 |

| grkblood | Darael, ive extracted the avi to images, whats the best way to go about bringing them back together in gif format? | 23:58 |
| Darael | grkblood: I'm afraid I don't know. I'm not really an image or video expert. | 23:59 |
| grkblood | Darael, ffmpeg -i ducking.avi ducking/image%d.jpg | 23:59 |
