|---|---|---|
| ikonia | genewitch: thank you | 00:00 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, as you no | 00:00 |
| BarbaraBush | genewitch: no core was around | 00:00 |
| BarbaraBush | lemme see the others | 00:00 |
| genewitch | BarbaraBush: i misspoke, it's kde4-base | 00:00 |
| magicianlord | ikonia: ubuntu is based on debian? ok | 00:00 |
| genewitch | you 100% need base. | 00:00 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: so ? it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 00:00 |
| shcherbak | rana: what connection you want to keep alive, shh? | 00:00 |
| BarbaraBush | genewitch: that gives me wallpapers :P | 00:01 |
| rana | thank you genewitch | 00:01 |
| magicianlord | well, that's debatable. but i get you, homie | 00:01 |
| ikonia | BarbaraBush: look at what each package contains, and install what you want | 00:01 |
| BarbaraBush | genewitch: i will just dualboot instead | 00:01 |
| rana | i have RDC to me windows pc | 00:01 |
| frxstrem | I have a serious problem with Ubuntu: it suddenly stopped working (applications stopped to respond etc.), so I had to reboot, and no it won't boot anymore | 00:01 |
| Diskopanda | <Issue> fixed with Ubuntu Software Center | 00:01 |
| ikonia | BarbaraBush: you said there where no KDE packages, you've just been given examples, now search the repos for what KDE packages you want/need | 00:01 |
| BarbaraBush | they dont excist on 10.10... | 00:01 |
| rana | and i just wanted to minimize it | 00:01 |
| nbjoerg | crimsun: crashes around the time it tries to switch to graphic mode | 00:01 |

| jacobr | Is there a list of "must have" open source software that someone could link to me? | 00:03 |
| ikonia | jacobr: no | 00:03 |
| shcherbak | jacobr: ubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu | 00:04 |
| magicianlord | is 11.04 stable enough to install now? | 00:04 |
| fms6468 | The must haves come with ubuntu. | 00:04 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: no | 00:04 |
| magicianlord | why not | 00:04 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: because it's not stable enough | 00:04 |
| magicianlord | so nothing istable in it | 00:04 |
| StateFarm | i fixed my suspend issue, i am really cool | 00:04 |
| jacobr | Gee. Now I see why everyone says Linux users are arrogant jack asses. | 00:04 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: do some research on it, it's currently broke, but it's stability changes up and down daily | 00:04 |
| shcherbak | magicianlord: copmiz is killing me, yesterday upgrade was a horror | 00:05 |
| ikonia | jacobr: don't rant in here | 00:05 |
| magicianlord | thanks shcherbak | 00:05 |
| StateFarm | jacobr: ubuntu comes with a lot of stuff installed, you'll probably be just fine with what it installs | 00:05 |
| magicianlord | StateFarm: it doesnt come with essential codecs or 3d drivers | 00:05 |
| rana | hey genewitch what program do you use tsc? | 00:05 |
| frxstrem | jacobr: the only thing that's a must that Ubuntu doesn't have pre-installed is VLC media player | 00:06 |
| fms6468 | jacobr: no sarcasm here. It's true. A lot of software is included in the Ubuntu installation | 00:06 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: but that is listed on the https://help.ubuntu.com guide which you should have read before installing | 00:06 |
| StateFarm | magicianlord: 3d drivers are painful, ubuntu is set up that if you really need a certain coded, it'll offer to install it for you | 00:06 |
| andrew_46 | jacobr: What particular areas are you interested in? Perhaps some 'must have' software could be suggested... | 00:06 |
| magicianlord | StateFarm: yeah, but not offline. but, i found an offline codec pack for 10.10 and the nvidia drivers install just fine afterblacklisting nouveau and installing from recovery mode | 00:07 |
| StateFarm | you're right, offline you're screwed. hard to irc when offline! or just use vlc | 00:07 |
| Diskopanda | <WoW WINE install issue> I've come a far bit now, but when I try to install via CD I get this error; "No installer data could be found. If this problem persists..." | 00:07 |
| jacobr | I was just looking for a list of popular stuff, because Ubuntu's software center doesn't have the rank/rating/# of download system that Linux Mint's does. | 00:07 |
| Diskopanda | Anyone familiar to this problem? | 00:07 |
| ikonia | Diskopanda: #winehq | 00:07 |
| ikonia | jacobr: it's going to be pretty much the same as mint | 00:07 |
| Diskopanda | #winehq | 00:07 |
| coz_ | jacobr, you can google highest rated applications ubuntu | 00:08 |
| frxstrem | I cannot boot my Ubuntu partition anymore, when I choose Ubuntu from GRUB it just shows a lot of error messages and enters the GRUB shell - could someone please help me fix this? | 00:08 |
| jacobr | Fuck this. I'm sticking with OSX. Obviously trying Linux was a mistake. Just a bunch of half baked half assed college drop outs wanting to play "programmer" and get free shit. Peace. | 00:09 |
| VonGodric | Hello. Might be a silly question, but. I got blank ubuntu 10,10 install. I just installed gcc 4.5. All works perfectly. only problem I have is that all gcc fbinaries have a suffix -4.5; how do I get rid of them and make gcc 4.5 default? Thanks | 00:09 |
| StateFarm | i wish modern Internet trolls were funnier | 00:09 |
| andrew_46 | jacobr: Some of these could be debated: http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2010/03/20-most-popular-open-source-software-ever-2.html | 00:09 |
| * andrew_46 was a little too late :) | 00:10 | |
| shcherbak | pity, andrew_46 | 00:10 |
| StateFarm | VonGodric: "getting rid of" the old gcc stuff is probably a really really bad idea. you should search for "update-alternatives" and gcc | 00:10 |
| VonGodric | er... machine didn't even have gcc installed... | 00:11 |
| StateFarm | VonGodric: have you installed the package 'build-essential' ? | 00:11 |
| VonGodric | it's actually a cloud servervice server running ubuntu 10.10. i'm just using what they have out of the box. which seems to be bare bones | 00:12 |
| StateFarm | my question is still relevant | 00:12 |
| VonGodric | i'm kind of ignorant to what this even means... | 00:12 |
| VonGodric | is it a package? | 00:12 |
| VonGodric | ok tnx. running that now | 00:13 |
| StateFarm | if for some reason you want to start compiling programs with gcc on your cloud server server, i recommend you start with installing the package 'build-essential' | 00:13 |
| VonGodric | did just that. | 00:13 |
| VonGodric | tnx | 00:13 |
| frxstrem | can someone help me? please? I really need some help here... | 00:13 |
| mmakk | I just installed a new ubuntu server, i'm a little new to this, and i try to use tab to complete a command. Bash completion, i think. It doesn't work. I've tried to modify .bashrc, but it look the same as the file on my workstation. I ran into this once before, but can't seem to find a solution, any quick ideas? Thanks | 00:14 |

| BlueEagle | frxstrem: Any chance you can elaborate on "a lot of error messages"? | 00:15 |
| BlueEagle | frxstrem: Did you attempt to google said messages? | 00:15 |
| DreamsofanEagle | hey folks | 00:15 |
| DreamsofanEagle | need some help | 00:15 |
| BlueEagle | frxstrem: Have you installed any other operating systems, altered disk configurations (including USB drives)? | 00:15 |
| frxstrem | BlueEagle: no, because can't google it because I can't memorize it after rebooting into Windows ... | 00:16 |
| DreamsofanEagle | weird problem with Ubuntu and Windows 7 | 00:16 |
| BlueEagle | !ask | DreamsofanEagle | 00:16 |

| frxstrem | BlueEagle: no, I haven't altered the hard drive partitions since I installed Ubuntu, which is quite a long time ago | 00:16 |
| DreamsofanEagle | oh | 00:16 |
| BlueEagle | frxstrem: Have you ever heard of the direct output device commonly reffered to as a pen? | 00:16 |
| coz_ | cruel | 00:17 |
| StateFarm | or take a screenshot with camera phone and upload if you really have to | 00:17 |
| coz_ | :) | 00:17 |
| BlueEagle | frxstrem: ie. write down the error messages on the screen so you can recite them later. ;) | 00:17 |
| frxstrem | BlueEagle: well...yes...of course, but it still was a lot of messages, most of which scrolled out of sight before I could even look at them | 00:17 |
| coz_ | frxstrem, do you have access to anything that can image that error? camera etc ? | 00:18 |
| frxstrem | coz_: sure....just wait a couple of minutes, and I'll boot into Ubuntu and take a picture of it.... | 00:19 |
| BlueEagle | frxstrem: Hmm.. If it is a GRUB prompt you're at you should not see all that many messages tbh. What you can do is to install an EXT-driver in windows, mount the partition containing /boot and alter the screen resolution in your config file. That will leave more messages on screen . | 00:19 |
| coz_ | frxstrem, cool ... if we see it then someone can probably come up with a solution | 00:19 |
| Claytonarvixe | does anyone know how to print something specific with awk when doing cat file | awk print $2 so it will print the information after the : | 00:19 |
| BlueEagle | coz_: It wasn't that cruel, was it? | 00:19 |

| Blastor48 | Is there a text to speach reader program for ubuntu? | 00:20 |

| ikonia | yeah: example? | 00:21 |
| Diskopanda | ikonia: They fixed my problem with wow, thanks man! | 00:21 |
| coz_ | Blackguard, ooo I have been looking into that myself... there is one for firefox and xchat | 00:21 |
| yeah | my executable will be used only by me and coworkers, and we don't have the package with the conflicting executable installed | 00:21 |
| ikonia | yeah: example? | 00:21 |
| yeah | ikonia: tcd | 00:21 |
| ikonia | yeah: it will just overwrite the executable, anything that depends on the ubuntu version of tcd will be at risk | 00:22 |

| DreamsofanEagle | Problem with running Windows 7 starter alongside Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, anytime I boot into windows 7 starter I can get into windows just fine, however once I reboot, the whole bootloader is crashed and I get a "no OS found" by the Intel Bios.

| yeah | for the existing tcd, the executable and package are one. for my .deb, the package is named uniquely and just happens to have a script in it i'd like to call tcd | 00:23 |

| FrozenKnight | Of course google is our best friend and it might have helped me just now. | 00:29 |

| coz_ | frxstrem, and if no one can solve this here you might try the ##linux channel... I am on 11.04 and it is broken so I cant copy paste things here | 00:31 |
| frxstrem | coz_: it didn't work.... | 00:32 |
| ikonia | rbiddington: was the button greyed out, or was it just not working | 00:32 |
| itaylor57 | rbiddington: user name must be in lower case | 00:32 |
| coz_ | frxstrem, ok give the ##linux channel a try with that screenshot | 00:32 |
| coz_ | frxstrem, i cant copy paste the url for them so you will have to do that | 00:32 |

| Hit0 | ok, bye. | 00:43 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Yeah I can easily restore all of this data, I just cloned one drive to a (much) larger one using dd and I need to resize the partitions in order to take advantage of the size increase | 00:43 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: Then you should go ahead but make sure the partitions are not mounted when manipulating them. | 00:44 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: And make sure you've got plenty of coffee availible as it may take some time. | 00:44 |

| ikonia | Zeu5: dpkg -l | grep php | 00:52 |
| manictornado | how do i install rpms with | 00:52 |
| ikonia | manictornado: you don't | 00:52 |
| ikonia | manictornado: rpm's are meant for Redhat based systems | 00:53 |
| manictornado | no hacks | 00:53 |
| Rigorm0rtis | BlueEagle: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file uninit_b | 00:53 |
| ikonia | manictornado: even if there where hacks, you still don't do it | 00:53 |
| ikonia | manictornado: they are meant for Redhat systems, you're not using redhat systems | 00:53 |
| manictornado | aww | 00:53 |
| manictornado | so whats a good portscaning | 00:53 |
| Big_D_271 | anyone know if I can just plug in a wacom touchpad and have it work? | 00:53 |
| ikonia | manictornado: nmap is quite standard | 00:54 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: Before you follow my next advice, be warned that I have never attempted this and I've got no clue if it will work. | 00:54 |
| blackshirt | manictornado: maybe you can use alien to convert them | 00:54 |
| Big_D_271 | sorry "bamboo" | 00:54 |
| ikonia | blackshirt: try it | 00:54 |
| ikonia | blackshirt: that is not a good idea | 00:54 |
| manictornado | im so new to linux | 00:54 |
| manictornado | first 30 mins | 00:54 |
| flint | anyone have experience setting up a mail server with squirrelmail? | 00:54 |
| manictornado | so idk what alien is | 00:54 |
| ikonia | manictornado: do not use rpm's or try to use rpm's on a Debian/Ubuntu system | 00:54 |
| blackshirt | ikonia: yeah, i know.. | 00:54 |
| ikonia | blackshirt: ok, so don't recommend it | 00:54 |
| ikonia | manictornado: what application do you want to install ? | 00:54 |
| manictornado | nmap | 00:55 |
| ikonia | manictornado: nmap is already in the ubuntu repos, open the ubuntu software package manager and search for nmap | 00:55 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia, actually the server has 1 more package called php5 compared to devt machine | 00:55 |
| manictornado | ok | 00:55 |
| Zeu5 | whatever php package devt machine has, the server has | 00:55 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: are they configured the same | 00:56 |
| aeon-ltd | manictornado: you are better off compiling than porting, for stability and speed | 00:56 |
| blackshirt | ikonia: i mean when there aren't deb packages, and only rpm package, we can use alien to convert them..but use with carefully | 00:56 |
| Rigorm0rtis | BlueEagle: I think I am going to just wait until after New Years when I can be on-site to resize the partitions. I think I'll just yank the drive and drop it into my workstation temporarily. | 00:56 |
| ikonia | manictornado: https://help.ubuntu.com worth looking up the basics | 00:56 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia, how do i check for same configuration? | 00:56 |
| manictornado | ok | 00:56 |
| ikonia | aeon-ltd: what are you on about ??? nmap is in the ubuntu repos, he doens't need to compile anything | 00:56 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: you configured it | 00:56 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: sudo tune2fs -O ^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^needs_recovery,^extent,^flex_bg,^unint_b /dev/PARTITION | 00:56 |
| manictornado | ill read cause the lingo is throwing me off and how do u send messages with my name in it | 00:56 |
| Zeu5 | i used the sudo tasksel lamp in both machines so i guess they are configured the same | 00:56 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: Then resize the partition and execute the above command without the ^ to re-enable the features. | 00:57 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: Again, I do not know if this will break anything. | 00:57 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: Also please read the tune2fs manual page | 00:58 |
| arto | According to this script: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ -- I have 3 versions of grub in /sda, /sdb and /sdc. | 00:58 |
| arto | One of which is 2.0, the other two are .97. | 00:58 |
| arto | How do I go back to one GRUB installation, and remove the others? | 00:58 |
| ikonia | arto: and ? | 00:58 |
| ikonia | arto: zero the mbr on the boot sectors you no longer wish to you | 00:59 |
| arto | how would I do that? | 00:59 |
| ikonia | arto: you are only (you can only) use one grub install though | 00:59 |
| ikonia | arto: so if I where you I would ignore that script and just carry on unless you are currently having a problem | 00:59 |
| Rigorm0rtis | BlueEagle: I came across that solution in my preliminary googling, and it just gives me a bad vibe so I'm just going to wait until I can be on-site after New Years. Thank you for your help though. | 00:59 |
| arto | yeah, but i have no idea which one i'm using :\ | 00:59 |
| BlueEagle | arto: Please note that there are no benefits of removing the boot loaders. | 00:59 |
| ikonia | arto: how many ubuntu installs do you have (or linux installs) | 00:59 |
| BlueEagle | Rigorm0rtis: Probably a reasonable call. ;) | 01:00 |
| arto | I am having a problem: /sdc has Win7 on /sdc1, Ubuntu10 on /sdc3 and Backtrack4 on /sdc4 | 01:00 |
| arto | But at the moment I can only load Win7 from grub | 01:00 |
| rage | This may sound really strange, but is it possible to run Nescape Navigator 2.0 on Ubuntu 10.10? | 01:00 |
| ikonia | arto: you will only be able to load win7 from grub anyway | 01:00 |
| ikonia | arto: that is the correct configuration | 01:00 |
| ikonia | rage: no | 01:00 |
| arto | Backtrack is not in there, and Ubuntu is giving me some errors when I start it | 01:00 |
| rage | aww | 01:00 |
| ikonia | arto: you'll need to confiugre your grub ubuntu to be able to boot backtrack | 01:01 |
| ikonia | track | 01:01 |
| arto | yes | 01:01 |
| ikonia | arto: when you get the grub boot menu, it says the version at the top, that will tell you which one you are using | 01:01 |
| arto | So if I have 3 versions of GRUB, which one do I fix? | 01:01 |
| arto | I think it's 2.0, since Ubuntu10 installer uses that. | 01:01 |
| ikonia | arto: sadly, you have a real problem as with grub2 multiple linux distros is not easy to maintain | 01:01 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 01:02 |
| zetheroo | I have been using my scanner over the local network now for months and suddenly it's not working anymore ... | 01:02 |
| ikonia | arto: you "think" it's 2???? check which one | 01:02 |
| arto | but grub2 is supposed to be an improvement, right? | 01:02 |
| campbellgolf_ | 01:02 | |
| zetheroo | the scanner still works on the computer it's connected to, but none of the other computers on the network can access it | 01:02 |
| snowrichard | hi just testing xchat install on my new (to me) hp laptop | 01:02 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I love ubuntu, I was able to toss debian and install ubuntu without having to erase or backup my home directory yay :D | 01:02 |
| snowrichard | xubuntu | 01:02 |
| ikonia | snowrichard: it worked | 01:02 |
| Jeruvy | ikonia: so is it recommended to stick with grub for dual-boots? | 01:03 |
| ikonia | Jeruvy: you don't really have a choice, but with grub2, it's now very hard to manage | 01:03 |
| Ny51bern | whats grub? | 01:03 |
| ikonia | Ny51bern: boot loader | 01:03 |
| Jeruvy | ikonia: good to know, I was thinking of replacing grub on a dual-boot box.. | 01:03 |
| BlueEagle | !info grub | 01:03 |
| ubottu | grub (source: grub): GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy version). In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-29ubuntu60 (maverick), package size 396 kB, installed size 924 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 lpia all) | 01:03 |
| rage | ikonia: Damn, yeah, it appears it was compiled against kernel 1.2 :-( which I think its not binary compatible with 2.x series kernels | 01:03 |
| ikonia | the kernel has nothing to do with it | 01:04 |
| zetheroo | any ideas on this networked scanner issue? | 01:04 |
| Ny51bern | Thanks. I'm new to ubuntu and all | 01:04 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: any error messages in the logs? is it pingable? | 01:05 |
| arto | wow | 01:05 |
| manictornado | is iknio | 01:05 |
| manictornado | back | 01:05 |
| zetheroo | BlueEagle: ping the scanner? | 01:05 |
| ikonia | yes | 01:05 |
| arto | I didn't realise setting up triple boot would be so difficult... | 01:05 |
| nbjoerg | crimsun: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/21430 | 01:06 |
| nbjoerg | crimsun: I think I am hitting that one | 01:06 |
| arto | you'd think they would have figured out how to make OS's play nice by now | 01:06 |
| ikonia | arto: it didn't used to be, it is now | 01:06 |
| Big_D_271 | anyone have experience with wacom tablets in 10.10? .. any help would be great! | 01:06 |
| SegFaultAX | I can't seem to find the GDM theme prefs. Ubuntu 10.4. It's not in Administration > Login Screen | 01:06 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: If it is a stand alone network scanner it most likely has a web interface and does reply to ping.. | 01:06 |
| arto | what a nightmare... 3 disks, 8 partitions, 3 grub instances, and no end in sight | 01:06 |
| ikonia | SegFaultAX: you can't change themes anymore | 01:06 |
| arto | i think ill just reformat everything | 01:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | SegFaultAX, it's very difficult to change GDM themes these days :( | 01:06 |
| zetheroo | BlueEagle: the scanner (mfp) is connected to a computer on the network (running 10.04) which is sharing the resources over the network | 01:06 |
| ikonia | arto: if you pay attention, it is still very easy, however, you have to know what's going where | 01:07 |
| SegFaultAX | ikonia: Oh really? I wasn't aware of that. | 01:07 |
| SegFaultAX | ZykoticK9: Ah, thanks for that. Was not aware. | 01:07 |
| sacarlson | arto: virtualbox might be a solution, if it's that old can't need too much resources | 01:07 |
| zetheroo | BlueEagle: I can still print to the printer of the MFD but the scanner is suddenly no longer accessible | 01:07 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: Oh.. I was not able to discern that from your initial description. Sorry. | 01:07 |
| arto | ikonia: the problem is the backtrack and ubuntu installers that start installing different GRUB versions and mess up each other | 01:08 |
| ikonia | arto: not really | 01:08 |
| ikonia | arto: you just let one distro install grub, then tell the other not to | 01:08 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: That leaves the logs. Both on the client accessing the resource and the one serving it. Anything useful there? | 01:08 |
| zetheroo | BlueEagle: no worries ... my bad ... I had originally set it up using this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo | 01:08 |
| sacarlson | arto: I have over 8 systems installed with virtualbox includeing 3 windows versions | 01:08 |
| ikonia | arto: however with grub2 it's now very hard to manage external to ubuntu distros with grub2 | 01:08 |
| induz | any there any tweeter monitering real time s/w?? | 01:08 |

| manictornado | nooo | 01:10 |
| manictornado | where is it | 01:10 |
| ikonia | manictornado: ok, reading that would be a start | 01:10 |
| ikonia | manictornado: it's in the URL I gave you to read | 01:10 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: tail -f /var/log/messages is usually a good start | 01:10 |
| manictornado | ok | 01:10 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: Run that in a terminal on both the client and server and look for some action when accessing the scanner. | 01:11 |
| manictornado | what verision of ubuntu am i running | 01:11 |
| * dougiefresh says, "Hi" | 01:11 | |
| * ikonia asks dougiefresh not to use /me commands or emotions | 01:11 | |
| zetheroo | BlueEagle: ok ran that in terminal on client whilst trying to access the scanner ... but nothing was spat out ... | 01:11 |
| ikonia | manictornado: what did you install | 01:11 |
| manictornado | backtrack 4.0 | 01:12 |
| ikonia | manictornado: ok, so that's not ubuntu and not supported here | 01:12 |
| dougiefresh | ok | 01:12 |
| manictornado | so what is it | 01:12 |
| ikonia | manictornado: the channel you need is #backtrack-linux | 01:12 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: there may be a separate log for sane. | 01:12 |
| manictornado | thanks your bunches of help | 01:12 |

| Diskopanda | dougiefresh: top right corner, just click the "INSTALL" button there | 01:15 |

| campbellgolf_ | trying to get Dolphin-emu to work as a VM, Workstation has a 3D accelerator support, but does not seem to work., | 01:15 |
| induz | do I have to install all of those shown on pakage manager | 01:16 |
| BlueEagle | rage: The words "Netscape" and "works great" does not belong in the same sentence. ;) | 01:16 |
| campbellgolf_ | ... not Dolphin as a VM, but on an Ubuntu VM | 01:16 |
| ikonia | induz: no you don't, you just pick what you want to use and install just what you want to use | 01:16 |

| induz | I just want real time moniter of twitts | 01:16 |

| ikonia | induz: ok, so search the repos for one and if you find one, install it | 01:17 |
| induz | gtwitter?? how is that? | 01:17 |
| rage | BlueEagle: When I launched it, it went to netscape.com which redirected to aol.com and then opened 400 popup windows with Javascript errors. So I share your sentiment that "works great" may be inappropriate | 01:17 |
| BlueEagle | ZykoticK9: 1: Alter /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2: Check the logs 3: alsamixer -C <sound card> | 01:17 |
| ikonia | induz: I don't know, search the repos, find one and install it | 01:17 |
| induz | ok | 01:18 |
| induz | thanks for the pakage manager suggestion though | 01:18 |
| BlueEagle | induz: The way to find software you like is kind of like finding a car you like. You need to testdrive and look at some to fine one that suits you. | 01:19 |

| alice | glitchd, the reason i am suggesting this is i run some remote sessions in remmina and remote desktop viewer, and the problem with teamviewer sounds similar that i had. | 01:35 |
| alice | glitchd, may need to refresh if doesn't catch right away | 01:36 |
| ssokolow | How do I figure out why a package is being held back? | 01:36 |
| alice | glitchd, or even reboot | 01:37 |
| alice | glitchd, if that doesn't fix it, i'm clueless | 01:37 |
| === nethunter_ is now known as nethunter | ||
| ssokolow | Oh, and what's the equivalent to -t when "avoid" pinning an origin (a PPA)? | 01:38 |
| glitchd | alice, so i need to reboot or restart x (crtl+alt+bckspc) for these changes to take effect? | 01:38 |

| dd_ | what is the tool to backup/restore /var/cache/archives? | 01:39 |
| alice | glitchd, in any event, no harm will come , and get to keep all your compiz yummies | 01:40 |
| Agent_bob | UnholyTerror can't ping my own ip from the ip i'm pinging and iptables -L says no firewall issue | 01:40 |
| dd_ | what is the tool to backup/restore /var/cache/archives? | 01:40 |
| takuya | Does anyone have any experience with Intel Macs and Ubuntu? | 01:40 |
| UnholyTerror | Agent_bob, do you have a router? | 01:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | BlueEagle, well your "check log" suggestion was a good one ;) through the log output found the related bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/660833 which led me to disabling XvMC and now I can watch TV - so thanks for that one. | 01:41 |
| Agent_bob | UnholyTerror why ? | 01:41 |
| glitchd | alice, thx for the advice either way | 01:41 |
| Agent_bob | UnholyTerror do you need a router ? | 01:41 |
| glitchd | alice, much appreciated, and i hope it works | 01:41 |
| UnholyTerror | Agent_bob, my netgear won't let me do it either. | 01:41 |

| safire | suggestion noted | 01:43 |
| UnholyTerror | Agent_bob, my bad... didn't catch the range... | 01:43 |

| dd_ | what is the tool to save /var/cache/apt/archives? | 01:43 |

| UnholyTerror | dd, tar | 01:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | dd_, i've never heard of a "tool" to backup /var/cache/apt/archives - i've always done it manually | 01:44 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia yes it is | 01:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | dd_, it really doesn't need a "tool" | 01:44 |
| BlueEagle | Agent_bob: firewall comes to mind. | 01:44 |
| ssokolow | Ugh. Does ANYONE know what the syntax is for the Package: line when configuring pinning? I don't feel like duplicating all the information several times over just to specify multiple packages. | 01:44 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia well not named localhost but still same box | 01:44 |
| dd_ | there is a special tool to backup/restore /var/cache/apt/archives and i can't remember it's name. it packages them into an iso | 01:44 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: whats the IP your trying to ping | 01:44 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia 192.168.0.254 | 01:45 |
| UnholyTerror | Agent_bob, gonna try myself... | 01:45 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: that cant be your machines IP | 01:45 |
| KM0201 | pops: good news.. i told you i wouldn't let you mess up | 01:45 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: that's a broadcast address | 01:45 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:45 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia why not ? | 01:45 |

| Agent_bob | ikonia not .255 but dot 254 | 01:45 |
| ikonia | sorry | 01:45 |
| ikonia | oops | 01:45 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 01:45 |
| UnholyTerror | Agent_bob, works here... hmmm | 01:45 |
| safire | why does host resolve a hostname when ping can't? | 01:46 |
| Agent_bob | UnholyTerror as it should | 01:46 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: so when you do "ifconfig -a" show that address on a nic ? | 01:46 |
| safire | the hostname i'm pinging / hosting isn't in /etc/hosts\ | 01:46 |
| safire | so it's not stored statically | 01:46 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia shows it without j-a | 01:46 |
| ikonia | safire: ping uses libresolv, host uses dns | 01:46 |
| Agent_bob | s/j-/-/ | 01:46 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: pastebin the output of netstat -rn please | 01:47 |
| safire | host uses the dns servers in /etc/resolv | 01:47 |
| ikonia | safire: yes | 01:47 |
| Myrtti | /last mr-rich | 01:47 |
| safire | what is libresolv? | 01:47 |
| ikonia | safire: a system library that tells what resolver message an application should use | 01:47 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia box cant pastebin. can't even ping self *** anything i can look for and type in ? | 01:47 |
| ikonia | safire: do "nslookup hostname" | 01:47 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: ahhh of course | 01:47 |
| safire | that works fine ikonia | 01:48 |
| pops | anyone know where xchat is? | 01:48 |
| ikonia | safire: so you know dns is working fine | 01:48 |
| UnholyTerror | Agent_bob, you working in a desktop? | 01:48 |
| IdleOne | pops: ~/.xchat2 | 01:48 |
| safire | i "knew" dns was working from the start | 01:48 |
| ikonia | safire: so it stands to reason that your machine is not setup to use dns as a system | 01:48 |
| Agent_bob | UnholyTerror on the box in question yes | 01:48 |
| safire | my machine? this is an ubuntu machine | 01:49 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: look at the default route (0.0.0.0) and the network route 192.168.0.0. what routes and interfaces are they using | 01:49 |
| safire | it's not "my" machine | 01:49 |

| safire | it's your machine ;p | 01:49 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia eth0 | 01:49 |

| Agent_bob | UnholyTerror same as it is in "ifconfig" 192.168.0.254 | 01:50 |
| pops | IdleOne: Do i need to download it? typing that exact thing in a terminal isnt working | 01:50 |
| safire | is dns not supposed to be the default? | 01:50 |
| ikonia | safire: it should be yes, look at /etc/nsswitch.conf | 01:50 |
| IdleOne | pops: you want to install xchat type: sudo apt-get install xchat | 01:50 |
| safire | hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 | 01:51 |

| BlueEagle | !ask| rafzZ | 01:56 |
| ubottu | rafzZ: 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. :-) | 01:56 |
| alice | glitchd, that's good planning. digging into docs and help of teamviewer, and googling, would be helpful for planning | 01:57 |

| ikonia | KM0201: KM0201 it's listed as shockwave flash | 01:59 |
| IdleOne | rafzZ: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and then try loading the page again | 01:59 |
| ikonia | safire: it doesn't have to be the same domain name, I'm curious to what domain name it is though | 01:59 |
| KM0201 | ikonia: i just right clicked the song, and it says adobe flashplayer | 02:00 |
| safire | lost the password to the printer, not sure how to check | 02:00 |
| KM0201 | rafzZ: i think you need to install restricted extras | 02:00 |
| ikonia | safire: ask the network admin | 02:00 |
| KM0201 | rafzZ: liek idle-one said | 02:00 |

| doomrobo | is anyone getting problems with internet speed on maverick? | 02:00 |
| rafzZ | not | 02:00 |
| ikonia | safire: then you should know what domains you are putting machines in | 02:00 |

| KM0201 | ants: not sure on the "close" question.. but right click your menu, edit menu,, go down to sound and video, highlight rythmbox, and delete | 02:01 |
| safire | i guess they both have to be in the home domain | 02:01 |
| ikonia | safire: this is a world wide channel, it's different in different worlds | 02:01 |

| doomrobo | both are slow | 02:03 |
| doomrobo | It's the weirdest thing. This issue became apparent immediately after installation | 02:03 |
| BlueEagle | doomrobo: both web pages and other network resources? (which other resources?) or the trace routes? | 02:03 |
| doomrobo | I'm connecting to web sites and my desktop which is wired into the same network | 02:04 |
| doomrobo | remote and local | 02:04 |
| BlueEagle | doomrobo: Are you accessing web pages on both the remote and local sites or are you accessing FTP or mail and seeing the same slowdowns? | 02:05 |

| Agent_bob | is there a "ubuntu" way to configure a static ip and gateway ? | 02:08 |
| BlueEagle | doomrobo: Sure it does matter. If a graphical and a text based browser are equally slow then it is the network. If the graphical browsers (all) are slow it may be related to your graphics drivers. If only one or two browsers are slow it's a configuration or rendering engine issue. | 02:08 |

| s3rris | hello. i need some help installing ubuntu. I can't figure out how to partition my HD without destroying my important stuff. | 02:35 |
| doomrobo | And what channel should I be using | 02:35 |
| Buzza | <s3rris> I can help you | 02:36 |
| s3rris | Buzza: can i PM you? | 02:36 |
| Buzza | yeh | 02:36 |
| DIL | change from channel you are on now and see what happens | 02:37 |
| deww | Buzza: did you want to do clean wipe of your hdd so data is not recoverable? | 02:37 |
| Rigorm0rtis | buzza: to erase a drive/partition COMPLETELY, destroying all data on the disk, you could simply use cat /dev/zero >/dev/??? where ??? is your drive (or partition) to wipe. | 02:37 |
| dd_ | anyone know how to get and use 'laptop mode'? | 02:38 |
| Maahes | Rigorm0rtis: or you can use shred to do the same thing | 02:38 |
| dd_ | anyone know how to get and use 'laptop mode'? | 02:39 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Maahes, by default, shred does three passes of random data, which is much slower than overwriting with zeroes. | 02:39 |
| Maahes | dd_: erm, it should already be installed as part of the power management apci suite, but there is an aditional util specifically called laptop-mode you can download via synaptic | 02:39 |
| glitchd | anyone know a way i can test teamviewer aside from connecting to someone? | 02:39 |
| doomrobo | @dd what's laptop mode? | 02:39 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Maahes, but yes, shred -n 0 -z /dev/?? would do the same thing. | 02:40 |
| chaos2358 | is anyone in here familiar with minidlna? i had it set up before but had to do a clean re-install and lost it as well as all information pertaining to it and i cant find it again. | 02:40 |
| doomrobo | @dd do you mean netbook edition? | 02:40 |
| Maahes | basically laptop mode is a few ascpi options. | 02:40 |
| doomrobo | oh | 02:40 |
| Buzza | Rigorm0rtis: ok the problem i have had is i ran gparted and cleared the partions then it (the pc) booted to recovery as i was only removing 1 partition | 02:40 |
| Ray2 | glitchd, Have you tried there program to test | 02:41 |
| dd_ | Maahes, thx | 02:41 |
| Buzza | Rigorm0rtis: it then restored the partion | 02:41 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, hey bud, you wouldnt by chance be famiiar with minidlna would you? | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: uh... no.. never even heard of it | 02:41 |
| Maahes | Rigorm0rtis: yeah I was looking to see if there was a gui program to point him at, to offset the chance he might specify the wrond hda....but I couldn't think of it, and was about to type the shred command when you beat me to it ^_^ | 02:42 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, its a dlna server which alows me to view the files on the computer easily from other network devices i.e. my androids. | 02:42 |
| doomrobo | What is the best wireless band to use? | 02:42 |
| glitchd | Ray2, lol no i didnt even see that on there, im gonna look right now | 02:42 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: yeah, i have no idea on that.. sorry | 02:43 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, its cool. man just thought id ask | 02:43 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Maahes, oh, i forgot shred gives you progress too. I usually use pv (basically, cat with a progress bar) for wiping drives. | 02:43 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: yeah, sorry man | 02:43 |
| DIL | you have 1 6 or 11 you could be usng one that is saturated | 02:43 |
| glitchd | Ray2, my problem is that when my friend connects to me, he gets a black screen. he can control my mouse and click things, he just cant see anything. | 02:43 |

| abr4xas | Merry Christmas ... :D | 02:43 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Buzza, is this the Windows recovery partition you're referring to? | 02:43 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: if you wanna make it easy, just each of you download teamviewer... it's free, and works flawlessly | 02:44 |
| glitchd | Ray2, ive tried uninstalling then reinstalling several times, to no avail | 02:44 |
| Maahes | doomrobo: no "best". 802.11a is technically the best as far as going through walls is concerned. But otherwise use g, if you have a network that is all n though, use n | 02:44 |
| glitchd | KM0201, im having a problem with teamviewer | 02:44 |
| glitchd | KM0201, thats what im talking about | 02:44 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: really?... i thought teamviewer was pretty well perfect | 02:44 |
| glitchd | KM0201, if u scroll up u will see that ive been in here for hours trying to figure this out | 02:44 |

| glitchd | KM0201, its ok | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: are you two running the same version of teamviewer? | 02:45 |
| zefixn | ubuntu allows creating a raid level 10 by when selecting 2 devices - does that work - and do i really have the advantages of raid 10? | 02:45 |
| glitchd | KM0201, yes | 02:45 |
| Maahes | FlozuzMozuz: I only know how to do that in weechat. ^_^ try /join #irssi | 02:45 |
| chaos2358 | is anyone in here familiar with minidlna? | 02:45 |
| glitchd | KM0201, i dont understand it, it worked before then it just stopped | 02:46 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, Short answer: no. | 02:46 |
| FlozuzMozuz | oh sorry forgot i was in #ubuntu, apologies for gumming this channel up | 02:46 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: why not - i would agree with 0+1 but... | 02:46 |
| Maahes | you'd need a lot of devices to get any benefit from raid10 | 02:46 |
| glitchd | KM0201, he can connect and move the mouse and click things, he jus cant see anything because there is a black box where the desktop should be | 02:46 |
| doomrobo | @Maahes actually, I'm broadcasting on all 3 | 02:46 |
| sirscott | with vnc4server, when I connect with a client and press the "d" key, I get the desktop. It's almost as if there's a key press being registered that isn't happening. any ideas? | 02:46 |
| glitchd | KM0201, i have reinstalled numerous times already to see if that was the problem | 02:47 |
| zefixn | Maahes: until today i thought you would need at least 4 | 02:47 |
| doomrobo | I, for the life of me, cannot figure out what the problem is | 02:47 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, with just two devices you're either getting just raid 1 i believe. so while you get redundancy, you don't get the speed of raid 0. | 02:47 |
| glitchd | KM0201, nd we both have the exact same package of teamviewer | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | hmm. | 02:47 |
| glitchd | KM0201, so im really at a loss as to what to do next | 02:47 |
| Maahes | really for personal use there's not much reason to go beyond 3 unless you have 5 or more drives. | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: are you confident the problem is on your end, and not his? | 02:47 |
| doomrobo | should I turn SPI firewall off? | 02:47 |
| glitchd | KM0201, well i can see his desktop just fine, he just cant see mine, although he can control everything | 02:48 |
| cdose1 | why is iptables.h missing in Lucid's iptables-dev package? | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | that is strange | 02:48 |
| glitchd | KM0201, is there a way to check and see if its his side? | 02:48 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: what would be if you would split up your 2 disks into 4 partitions disk 1/1 disk 1/2.... and mirror disk 1/1 with disk 2/1 and then create a stripe set over these two raid 1s? | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: i dunno, just seems like you've tried everything on your end, curious if its on his. | 02:48 |
| glitchd | KM0201, it could be, but i dont know how to find out if it is his side or not | 02:49 |
| Maahes | zefixn: primarily the reason you can do that is this: If you need to be able to, for any reason, separately create an array at the same raid level for a small number of drives, and then join them to an existing array, as separate actions | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: if you want, i'll try to connect to you, see if there's a problem | 02:49 |
| glitchd | do u know if there is a setting that could effect that particular thing? | 02:49 |
| glitchd | KM0201, that would be great | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | glitchd: PM me your info | 02:49 |

| === JesusFreak316_ is now known as JesusFreak316 | ||
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, no, because the point of raid0 is using several _devices'_ speed. If you used partitions, the constant seeking required would drastically reduce the array's performance. | 02:50 |
| zefixn | Maahes: you want to say if i choose raid 10 for two disks im running raid 1? | 02:50 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: doesn't sound very logical to me | 02:51 |
| cdose1 | Maahes: it was moved? in previous version of ubuntu is was in iptables-dev... | 02:51 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, how so? | 02:51 |
| Ray2 | glitchd, You can connect to teamviews computer by using 12345 for id and 6876 for password | 02:51 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: i get extra performance if i use a stripe set over two tiny partitions on more than 1 disk | 02:52 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: not only when using entire disks | 02:52 |
| Maahes | zefixn: no, say you already have an array of 5 disks, and for some reason do not want to or can't stitch in an unformatted addition to the array, or if for say: two disks in an array get corrupted and lose their place in the array, rebuilding the array structure for just those two. Generally speaking you should almost never have to do it this way, but its there in case you need tol. | 02:53 |
| dd_ | how do i use laptop mode to limit disk writes? | 02:53 |
| Maahes | cdose1: It does kind of make sense to move it into the kernel headers though. | 02:53 |
| doomrobo | is there any other channel I should go to for help? | 02:54 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, hey bud i found what i was looking for. If you do any media sharing its a good option. here is the link just in case you want it, or just want to read up on it, http://scognito.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/streaming-movies-and-music-from-ubuntu-to-xbox360/ the instruction is to set up for an xbox 360 but it works with anything that pulls media from your network. | 02:54 |
| zefixn | Maahes: sorry but raid 10 with 5 disks? 4 + 1 spare? | 02:54 |
| KM0201 | thanks chaos2358 i'll check it out | 02:54 |
| sync3times | greetings | 02:54 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, yep no prob | 02:55 |
| Maahes | zefixn: It's possible to stitch in a relatively large number of disks into a raid array IIRC | 02:55 |
| doomrobo | My latency is radical and spiking like crazy. What can be the cause of that? | 02:55 |
| Maahes | doomrobo: well if you don't need to. Turn off a and b, and try switching channels. | 02:56 |
| doomrobo | ok | 02:56 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, i might be misunderstanding what you're trying to do. From my take you're trying to create a raid0 on a single disk with two partitions, do this to another disk, and then combine these two disks into a raid1 array in order to create a raid10 array. Am I right? | 02:57 |
| arooni | is there an awesome slideshow app i can use to show off my photos to my parents? is picasa the best for this? | 02:57 |
| sagaci | is jaunty EOL? | 02:57 |
| doomrobo | made it G-only, which is what my old router was | 02:58 |
| alice | arooni, eog is simple | 02:58 |
| DIL | Many wireless products in the U.S. ship with a default Wi-Fi channel of 6. If encountering interference from other devices within the home, consider changing the channel up or down to avoid it. Note that all Wi-Fi devices on the network must use the same channel. | 02:58 |
| doomrobo | actually, it was 2 separate ssid's for a and b | 02:58 |
| Maahes | arooni: no best, there's a couple other's available too. synaptic search 'slideshow' | 02:59 |
| Maahes | heh, my favorite slideshow image viewer is pornview | 02:59 |
| chaos2358 | quick question. how do i get root access to copy files using windows?? example. i am trying to move parts of a downloaded file to the /etc/ and the /usr/ folders but want to do it outside of terminal by dragging and dropping | 02:59 |
| doomrobo | @Maahes God bless you | 02:59 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: i dont want do invent something new - i just want to understand what ubuntu is doing and if it would work and if how.... | 02:59 |
| doomrobo | G-only works perfectly | 02:59 |

| KM0201 | chaos2358: gksudo nautilus | 03:00 |
| doomrobo | Why is that? | 03:00 |
| Maahes | doomrobo: correcting setting up a 3 spectrum wireless network can be a pain. | 03:00 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, type that into terminal? | 03:00 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: affirmative | 03:00 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, gracias | 03:00 |
| === elapse is now known as Prodego | ||
| Maahes | I mean its not impossible, but some devices don't manage it well. | 03:00 |
| Maahes | like for instance: latency balancing :) | 03:01 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, if you select a raid10 array for two devices, you get the equivalent of a raid 1 array because there are not enough devices for a raid 1+0 array. | 03:01 |
| doomrobo | thank you very much, I enjoy these experiences, but only in retrospect. | 03:01 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: i thought it could work like createing sda1, sda2, sdb1, sdb2 - create raid 1 over sda1 and sdb1 getting md0 - create raid 1 over sda2 and sdb2 getting md1 - create raid 0 over md0 and md1 | 03:01 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, no, because RAIDs are based on devices and are not typically concerned with partitions. | 03:02 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: not true | 03:02 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: do you speak about physical devices? | 03:03 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, that opened up a root folder but when i try to drag the minidlna.config file over to /etc/ it still gives me the following error: Extraction not performed. You do not have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file;///etc" | 03:03 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: if not partitions are represented in form of a device in unix systems | 03:03 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: if you're int he root file browser, that should let you do that | 03:04 |
| Rigorm0rtis | i'm not saying you can't create a raid by striping partitions on the same device, i'm saying it's not a good idea. And when I say device, I mean the physical device. | 03:04 |
| Guest20238 | how can i enable auto-login from terminal? | 03:04 |
| Maahes | chaos2358: gksudo nautilus | 03:04 |
| zefixn | Rigorm0rtis: i never said i want to stripe partitions on same device | 03:04 |
| darkwurm | Rigorm0rtis: You can do it on partitions, however it mostly defeats the point of having raid in the first place. | 03:05 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok maybe im doing something wrong. i used the root file browser to get into the /etc/ folder then from the "downloads" folder i opened i click and drag the .config file into the root folder? | 03:05 |
| DIL | !dmraid | 03:05 |
| Rigorm0rtis | darkwurm, that's what I was trying to say. | 03:05 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: what iw ould do.. is in the root folder, navigate to /home/username/downloads.. right cick/copy the file you need | 03:06 |
| Maahes | chaos2358: this is two different machines? or 1? | 03:06 |
| Rigorm0rtis | zefixn, sorry for misunderstanding you then. | 03:06 |
| DIL | !mdraid | 03:06 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: then go back to your destination flder, in the same root file browser. | 03:06 |

| darkwurm | Maahes: ^^ so true. | 03:07 |
| betts | the method on the net didnot work properly | 03:07 |
| Maahes | betts: you wouldn't use ffmpeg directly for that, you'd use an multimedia program like VLC to do it. | 03:08 |
| Maahes | and if your .wmv file has DRM, it will not convert, just fyi | 03:08 |

| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok feel like one more? lol | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | sure.. shoot | 03:10 |
| Maahes | dd_: any chance you have both of those open at the same time? | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | metaphorically speaking of course | 03:10 |

| theophilus7777 | Hey guys... I have a question. I have two or more desktops hooked up to a wired router, and a laptop that I'd like to access network via wifi. I have a wifi dongle that I've been using on WinXP to share the internet via bridging the LAN and WLAN cards on the desktop... I'd like to make the same setup with my Ubuntu desktop, and found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router , and thought that it was along the lines of what I was | 03:11 |
| Guest20238 | how do i enter another partition in terminal? i don't know the linux command for that | 03:11 |
| betts | i donot if if has drm, i just want to extract the audio from the wmv file | 03:11 |

| root_ | Hello everyone I have some problems with merekat and I need some tech support if possible. I am not a n00b when it comes to ubuntu at all. If someone could please PM me it would be greatly appreciated. | 03:12 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, and by directory i mean /home/this/that/and/thethird/ | 03:12 |
| Maahes | betts: I know, there are a programs to do just that. Actually there's a website that'll do it provided the wmv file isn't huge | 03:13 |
| Buzza | Rigorm0rtis: yes it was the windows partion | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: if its in home, and its hidden.. just lcick View, and "Hidden folders".. and you should be able to find it | 03:13 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok let me check | 03:13 |
| Maahes | What KM0201 said except press ctrl+h | 03:13 |
| Maahes | instead of using the menu :P | 03:13 |
| * KM0201 HATES keyboard shortcuts..lol | 03:14 | |
| theophilus7777 | Guest20238: if it's mounted, try "cd /media/" then "ls", and if you see it do "cd <drive name>" | 03:14 |
| Guest20238 | ok thanks!! | 03:14 |
| betts | the question is that there are lots of wmv files and everyone is huge | 03:14 |

| KM0201 | Maahes: i hate em | 03:15 |
| Rigorm0rtis | Buzza, if you're recoving the mbr it might be restoring the old partition table too | 03:15 |
| Maahes | root_: just ask your question specifically, no one is going to volunteer to help you with that question, because even someone with a vast knowledge doesn't know a good deal. | 03:15 |
| root_ | ok thx maahes | 03:15 |
| twobitsprite | I'm trying to use rhythmbox in lucid to manage my ipod, but for some reason it won't let me delete items from the ipod | 03:15 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok it isnt in my /home/ as a hidden file. with it being mounted, in the nautilus file browser it shows up in the "places" window seperate from everything else. | 03:15 |
| Maahes | KM0201: they're quite a bit faster and more efficient than using the mouse :P. (I hate using the mouse and structure every aspect of the desktop to be as keyboard driven as possible) | 03:15 |
| twobitsprite | If I right click on the artist or album in the ipod, nothing comes up, and if I right click the song in the listing, the "remove" and "move to trash" items are both greyed out | 03:15 |

| root_ | ok sometime when I go to install things through apt-get I get various "lock" then when I erase the locks It says that I have to do a "apt-get --configure -a" I do that and then it still doesnt work. So I reset hte machine and it works. Also my session indicator applet says i am root when I obviously logged in as my common username? any ideas? | 03:17 |
| chaos2358 | Maahes, wanna help me get the right directory path to a mounted ntfs partition that i use to store multimedia so it can be accesed by either of my os? | 03:17 |
| Guest20238 | I can't enter /etc/X11 from terminal? it says that there is no files in the directory or it does not exist. but I see it!!! | 03:17 |
| Maahes | chaos2358: often separate partitions are mounted to /media/partition | 03:18 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: a media directory.. is usually under /media | 03:18 |
| root_ | Hense the reason my nick says root_ | 03:18 |
| === dragon36_ is now known as dragon36 | ||
| root_ | Also sometimes when it does seem that apt-get goes through it will get stuck and be stuck for hours. | 03:18 |
| root_ | I am using ubuntu 10.10 x86 | 03:19 |
| root_ | any ideas maahes? | 03:19 |
| Maahes | root_: well apt having lock file issues is usually because something killed apt before it was done. | 03:19 |
| root_ | oh ok | 03:19 |
| Maahes | As for session indicator. What do you mean by session indicator? | 03:20 |
| Maahes | what program exactly. | 03:20 |
| chaos2358 | Maahes, KM0201 ok its there. last thing i promise. so when i am editing this .config file i will point it to "/media/mpoint/thefile-i-want-shared/ "mpoint is the partition name. | 03:20 |
| root_ | also you know that applet that is at the far right of the top panel it says root as well not my normal screen name | 03:20 |
| darkwurm | root_: create a new user | 03:20 |
| root_ | also when installing I never press ctrl c | 03:20 |
| root_ | thx darkwurm | 03:20 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: pretty sure.. yes | 03:20 |
| Maahes | also.... why are you logging in as root? | 03:20 |
| root_ | have you ever heard of this? | 03:20 |
| root_ | Im not logging in as root | 03:20 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok thanx. just wanted to make sure | 03:21 |
| root_ | I am logging in as my common username it just says root when i log in | 03:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | root_, in a terminal what does "whoami" return? | 03:21 |
| root_ | I am not new to linux I never user root I use sudo | 03:21 |
| root_ | ok one sec | 03:21 |
| root_ | thx guys | 03:21 |
| root_ | whoami says root | 03:22 |
| darkwurm | hes obviously logged in as root, hence is /whois return ;) | 03:22 |
| Maahes | chaos2358: yes, unless you've done wonky things with partitions, that should be the case. | 03:22 |
| Maahes | root_: you are running as root then | 03:22 |
| root_ | So Ishould make a new account then right? | 03:22 |
| thetrav | ok, getting pretty close to having this netbook back online now, got ubuntu netbook remix installed on it, just can't get the touchscreen working | 03:22 |
| sync3times | root_, grep for your username in /etc/passwd if your userid there is zero you are root | 03:22 |
| darkwurm | his account has been altered somehow | 03:22 |
| root_ | ok one sec | 03:22 |
| thetrav | is there a command I can run to get the touchscreen hardware info so I can look for a driver? | 03:22 |

| CarlFK | thetrav: try lsusb | 03:23 |
| twobitsprite | anyone here use rhythmbox to manage an ipod? I'm having some problems with it | 03:23 |
| thetrav | thanks Carl | 03:23 |
| twobitsprite | namely that I can't seem to delete songs from it | 03:23 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, no wonky things. i just have a music, pics, videos, and document folders inside the partition and i have to edit 4 lines of the .config to point to /media/mpoint/each-of-those-folders/ so that my tv and androids will pick it up. | 03:23 |
| root_ | it is very wierd because before my last reboot the applet kept switching from jshmoe24 which is my username to root over and over again | 03:23 |
| sync3times | twobitsprite, I like gtkpod its simpler and works great | 03:23 |
| root_ | very strange | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: yeah, i do the same thing actually | 03:24 |
| darkwurm | Probably during a failed update hence the wanky locked files. | 03:24 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, really? what do you use if not minidlna? | 03:24 |
| root_ | not only that but I have been having problems with apt-get installs failing and getting stuck | 03:24 |
| twobitsprite | sync3times: thanks, but I'd like something that ties in to a music player | 03:24 |
| CarlFK | thetrav: this is over a year old, but here are some notes I took: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TouchScreen09 | 03:24 |
| twobitsprite | and I like rhytmbox | 03:24 |
| root_ | grepping as we speek | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: well, what i mean, is i keep all my media and crap, ona separate partition. | 03:24 |
| darkwurm | root_: create a new user and try your updates from there | 03:24 |
| twobitsprite | sync3times: di you have a recommendation for a different media player that syncs with ipods? | 03:24 |
| sync3times | twobitsprite, ties in? It talks and transfers files to the ipod, what more tiein do you need? | 03:25 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201 oh ok i thought you meant you had a DLNA server setup to share it on the network | 03:25 |
| root_ | ok darkwurm thats sounds like the best idea thx for your guys help by the way too DX | 03:25 |
| root_ | XD* | 03:25 |
| twobitsprite | sync3times: i.e., I can drag artists and albums etc without worrying about paths and filenames | 03:25 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: no no.. i just use samba for that | 03:25 |
| root_ | thank god for the community | 03:25 |

| ZykoticK9 | Guest20238, are you using a capital X in X11? | 03:26 |
| Guest20238 | capital X | 03:26 |
| twobitsprite | sync3times: yeah, I used to be miticulous about keeping my mp3s organized by folders and filenames, etc, but I just have too many to do that with any more. hence why I want a music manager, not a file transfer thing | 03:26 |

| UnholyTerror | Guest20238, X11 | 03:32 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, use netstat -ant to see if you are listening on the port you need to listen on | 03:32 |
| alazyworkaholic | so on the receiving end I should run: "sudo nc | p 1010 | dd of=/home/alan/chuckbackup.dd -L" ? | 03:32 |
| Maahes | Not for many years unless your job is really unfortunate should you have been able to run into X10 | 03:32 |
| Maahes | alazyworkaholic: proably nc -L | 03:33 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, netstat -L 1010 > /home/alan/chuck.dd | 03:33 |

| sync3times | Damon, xorg.conf.new at the end seem wrong? does that file exist ? | 03:40 |
| myth20 | maahes: Outlook Web Access | 03:40 |
| Guest20238 | i asked them | 03:40 |
| jshmoe24 | Is there a program for ubuntu that allows me to make high quality pdf documents? | 03:40 |
| Damon | sync3times, i just checked in the /root directory is a file called xorg.conf.net | 03:40 |
| bastidrazor | Guest20238: this channel is goign to know less considering 11.04 is Alpha.. Alpha is going to break. | 03:40 |
| Damon | sync3times, i mean xorg.conf.new | 03:40 |
| Last | sup | 03:41 |
| sync3times | Damon: try now Xorg -config Xorg.conf.new | 03:41 |
| Maahes | Oooh...my default answer is possibly not unless owa has an option to serve as imap or pop3. Evolution I know has support for exchange's protocol | 03:41 |
| jshmoe24 | I am actually looking for a program that is specifically used for making high quaility pdf documents It would be greatly appreciated | 03:41 |
| Damon | sync3times, I tryed it without sudo says it needs to be ran as root, so I run it as root and it just brings up a black screen nothing on it no mouse pointer etc | 03:41 |
| sync3times | Damon try ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of the black screen | 03:41 |
| Maahes | jshmoe24: Scribus or Lyx | 03:41 |
| jshmoe24 | cool thx again m8 | 03:41 |
| Maahes | Scribus for making multimedia documents | 03:42 |
| UnholyTerror | Guest20238, why are you on 11.04? | 03:42 |
| DasEi | jshmoe24: you can use pdfedit or openoffice, save as pdf | 03:42 |
| Maahes | LyX for making Essays and such | 03:42 |
| sync3times | Damon, you are almost there. put the xorg.conf.new in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run xinit | 03:42 |
| jshmoe24 | I can always count on this channel. Ubuntu FTW | 03:42 |
| jshmoe24 | when I go to openoffice it doesn't give me the opion of savingto pdf do I need a plugin? | 03:42 |

| UnholyTerror | jshmoe24, what's do you mean high quality? what's wrong with print to pdf? | 03:43 |
| myth20 | just wondering if it is possible to connect owa 2003 using thunderbird | 03:43 |
| jshmoe24 | well what i mean by high quaility is a program specifically for making pdf documents | 03:43 |
| jshmoe24 | without all the other bells and whistles | 03:44 |
| Maahes | buh? I'm pretty sure Openoffice does pdf by default if you scroll for "save as" | 03:44 |

| bonjoyee | jihedamine: what drivers?.."check the kernel driver in use" section | 03:59 |
| DasEi | gabe__: that'll be your internal, and when resolving on this, no internet is there | 03:59 |

| Maahes | Dwade09: Go to the ubuntu website and look at the instructions for making a live usb | 04:09 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 04:09 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: it's on 10.0.0.0/28 on eth0... it goes to a router configured as a terminal access server and eth0 is 192.168.1.3/24, which goes to the world through NAT (this is configured by the ISP) | 04:09 |

| ChipAndFamily | Ok, so here it is: I have an LCD picture frame. I want the script to read the Photos directory, determine if there are any sub-dir. If there are, I want the script to go into the sub directories and move the photos to the main directory. After that, I want the script to read the SD card for the LCD picture frame, and copy photos from the computer to the SD card, skipping ones already on the SD Card. | 04:09 |
| ChipAndFamily | Whew... | 04:09 |
| ChipAndFamily | Can it be done? If so, how? I'm a noob at this, so please forgive me. | 04:09 |
| hanasaki | bonjoyee: lol I had the pre 10.10 lucid in not maverik.. but it still should have .40 | 04:09 |
| Maahes | ChipAndFamily: yes this can be done, in many different scripting languages | 04:10 |
| Maahes | I recommend learning either Bash, Python, or Ruby | 04:10 |
| bonjoyee | hanasaki: did u add the line to sources.list? and did sudo apt-get update? | 04:10 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: my ISP's router private IP is in the 192.168.1.0/24 range and anyone in my home gets an address assigned through dhcp to go out to the Internet, including my Ubuntu box (this one I'm on right now) which uses wlan0 | 04:10 |
| ChipAndFamily | Which is the best? And which is the simplest to learn? | 04:10 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I'm having audio problems, but never when I used debian, I had these problems before, but debian gave me graphics issues so I came back to ubuntu... what do I do? should I remove pulseaudio like it shows I can in this tutorial ? http://jechem.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-remove-pulseaudio-on-ubuntu-1010.html | 04:11 |
| sync3times | ChipAndFamily, can be done, to do the copy, I would use rsync. use a find command and move all files from your picture directory to a single directory and then rsync them to the sdcard | 04:11 |
| Maahes | ChipAndFamily: there is no best. And all 3 of those are simple to learn for different values of simple | 04:11 |
| UnholyTerror | ChipAndFamily, ok, are all the pictures on the SD card and just need to be reorganized? or does this script need to run 'on' the picture frame? | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | virtualbox-4.0 turns out I need to do that instead of the 3.2... they are packaged by version number in the package name... kinda unusual | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | thanks | 04:11 |
| Last | So someone correct me if im wrong but apprently Usb boot drives. are limited by their size i swore usb sticks came in 16gb. but im not sure. on that one. | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | bonjoyee: has it worked OK for you? | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | .40? | 04:11 |
| DasEi | gabe__: lil' confusing, you connect to isp via wlan0 by dhcp, there isp's influence ends.. | 04:11 |
| needlez | Last: yes they come in 16GB and bigger i have a 64GB | 04:11 |
| Maahes | ChipAndFamily: in synaptic there is: diveintopython abs (advanced bash scripting) and rubybook | 04:11 |
| bonjoyee | hanasaki: not tried yet..just added to the sources 10 minutes before;) | 04:12 |
| DasEi | gabe__: whereas your lab is entirely under your control, oc can NAT to wlan0 | 04:12 |
| UnholyTerror | needlez, i've seen 256GB | 04:12 |
| Last | lol okie i was just curious cause i dont usually buy them all the ones i own i found laying on the ground outside a store or something. | 04:12 |
| UnholyTerror | needlez, was like $700usd | 04:12 |
| ChipAndFamily | The photos are being imported from my Digital Camera, and then copied onto the computer, the subdirectories are months and days the photos were taken. I just want the photos in the main directory and then want the new photos copied onto the SD Card for the LCD picture frame. | 04:12 |
| needlez | UnholyTerror: wow I didn't know a flash drive that was that big, figures it would be like 700 tho..lol | 04:13 |
| deww | shingen: apparently transmission-daemon has a watch feature | 04:13 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: exactly, but when I turn on my lab router, which connects to eth0, I'm not able to access the Internet through wlan0 even though I can ping the ISP gw of 192.168.1.1 | 04:13 |

| Last | How much is a 30gb usb drive ? | 04:13 |
| shingen | deww: yup, thanks... just got confirm from the guys over at #transmission that transmission-daemon is what i"m lookign for | 04:13 |
| Maahes | ChipAndFamily: what you want to do isn't hard, and is basically one of the most common system administration jobs ^_^ | 04:13 |
| DasEi | gabe__: the 192.. is your internal address from wlan0, from the wireless router, and not isp's one | 04:14 |
| UnholyTerror | ChipAndFamily, ok, yeah, can be done... look into rsync. probably your best bet. | 04:14 |
| ChipAndFamily | Easy, eh?, Maahes? | 04:14 |
| deww | shingen: and up and until now, i didn't know there's a cli version :P been using rtorrent | 04:14 |
| ChipAndFamily | Think of the most moronic computer programmers or script programmers out there. Then there is me. =) | 04:14 |
| Maahes | ChipAndFamily: Yes, once you know what you're doing. It's one of the first few things you will learn (how to move files automagically) | 04:14 |
| Maahes | well first few "useful" things. | 04:14 |
| bonjoyee | hanasaki: version 4.0 is a new major release..so it will show as a different package in synaptic...that has been the case with virtualbox! | 04:15 |
| shingen | deww: I head that rtorrent can be a pig when doing multiple threads, so I've stayed away from that... | 04:15 |
| alex__ | can transmission | 04:15 |
| needlez | Last: 32 GB costs around 40 on sale to 60 or more depends on brand and store | 04:15 |
| ChipAndFamily | I have the books, and I'll look into it more. If I need help, I'll definitely log back on! Thanks everyone for your help!! | 04:15 |
| UnholyTerror | ChipAndFamily, I think grsync (GUI for rsync) lets you set up 'profiles' for taskes like this. no scripting needed. | 04:15 |
| alex__ | deww: shingen: can transmission-daemon be run with no gui at all? does it have bandwidth scheduling? i've been using rtorrent but have found it pretty disappointing | 04:15 |
| shishirdwivedi20 | hi | 04:15 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: my ISP's router is configured with NAT, so everyone in the house gets an IP in the range of 192.168.1.0/24 via dhcp on the inside. The outside interface of the ISP's router has a public IP address. I get 192.168.1.3/24 on this Ubuntu box using wlan0 and I have my lab router connected to eth0 using 10.0.0.0/28 | 04:15 |
| needlez | Last: I live in US and mine was 60 but ive seen them cheaper before | 04:15 |
| gabe__ | but if eth0 is up, I can't access the Internet | 04:16 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: however I can ping 192.168.1.1 | 04:16 |
| DasEi | gabe__: fyi can go to wahtsmyip to check your inet(world adress), thouugh not important in this context, should be 173.79.224.63 | 04:16 |
| deww | alex__: transmission-daemon appears to be, well a daemon, so no gui | 04:16 |
| deww | seems t hat you can control it with a web interface or something | 04:16 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: yep, that's it | 04:17 |
| DasEi | gabe__: you ping the wlan router with that | 04:17 |
| gabe__ | DasEi: correct | 04:17 |

| seidos | anyone know where i can find the source code for the dictionary add on for gnome-panel? checked gnome-panel and gnome-utils already. | 04:43 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, pbzip cannot do streaming so it must be done after. I would compress the stream before you send it | 04:43 |
| DasEi | kravlin: you can use grub1 on current ubuntu, too | 04:43 |
| spankpole | AbhiJit, and it shows up in the mixer | 04:44 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: ok, thanks for the tip. Is there a multithreaded compressor that can stream? | 04:44 |
| needlez | anyone got any ideas what to do to fix a computers sleepmode since it wont kick in if totem is open even if nothin is running it wont sleep /suspend | 04:44 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, no, but there really should be. | 04:44 |
| Maahes | DasEi: I actually don't have the tools to do that, and can't get them easily. I will however make a version of my fixed persistent install and then use that the next time I destroy this (I had a crash and lost almost all /bin and /lib and /usr/bin | 04:44 |
| AbhiJit | spankpole, dunno. run alsamixer in terminal an see if anything is muted or try pulse audio equlizer | 04:44 |
| kravlin | DasEi: does that invalidate any of the commands in the autogenerated grub conf? | 04:44 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, what you are doing is strange. can you provide some background? | 04:45 |
| Steve973 | if I have a package installed by apt, but there's a deb on the developer's site, can I install the deb through apt and still have it update the package later? | 04:45 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: fine. I'll live with one core for now, but what should I put in place of pbzip2? | 04:45 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, also, nc is primitive. I would look a the socat command socat is godlike in features and clarity | 04:45 |
| DasEi | kravlin: yes, grub1 is completly different and simpler than grub-pc | 04:45 |
| DasEi | kravlin: what is yor actual demand ? | 04:46 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, use bzip2 | 04:46 |

| kravlin | DasEi: and i'm pretty sure arch uses grub 1 so i have to figure out how to write the grub.conf. | 04:48 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: would the command then be: "nc -l 1234 | bzip2 | dd of=/tmp/backup.dd"? | 04:48 |
| DasEi | kravlin: so you're in the wrong channel.. you can install ubu to another party, with NO grub, then late add it to your existing grub | 04:49 |
| Nabisco | How does one enable a verbose boot in 10.04 LTS x64? | 04:49 |
| Nabisco | Also, the default sounds are very anoying. | 04:49 |
| beginner | wow | 04:49 |
| breadcrumb | alazyworkaholic, Clonezilla is good for something like that. i used it to image my laptop in case i ever want to restore it to factory condition | 04:49 |
| DasEi | kravlin: idk for arch, but neither grub1 or 2 has a grub.conf to be edited, either menu.lst or few files for grub2 | 04:49 |
| ttwist | Can anyone tell me how I would go about removing the verve command line from the panel of xfce? I can't right click on it to get the menu to remove it. | 04:49 |
| kravlin | DasEi: i'm in the wrong channel? I figured that the arch guys wouldn't know anything about how to make ubuntu work with grub. | 04:49 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, whats your sending stream look like? as I said, you could transmit it compressed. | 04:50 |
| DasEi | kravlin: also I won't put my hand in fire that grub2 will correctly find and boot arch, test this by a live cd first | 04:50 |
| kravlin | DasEi: sorry. menu.lst. I'm used to having configuration files with the name program.conf | 04:50 |
| ld | how do i specify which version of java will run by default? | 04:50 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, you dont have to write the file twice that way | 04:50 |
| Nabisco | why is Ubuntu so damn "cutting edge?" | 04:50 |
| kravlin | DasEi: ubuntu's version of grub didn't find arch so i'm not figuring it does. | 04:50 |
| beginner | ok | 04:51 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, scratch that | 04:51 |
| kravlin | DasEi: I'm wondering what commands i need to use to get ubuntu working with grub 1 effectively. | 04:51 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: & I could probably run "md5sum /dev/sda1" & "md5sum /tmp/backup" & compare to check it worked right? | 04:51 |
| DasEi | kravlin: either you leave the current bootlaoder and add ubu later, or check that grub2 finds and sets arch correctly and install grub2 by ubuntu-installer | 04:51 |
| DasEi | kravlin: it's just another section in menu.lst and device.map | 04:52 |
| ld | how do i specify which version of java will run by default? | 04:52 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, very good. but image the whole drive /dev/sda | 04:52 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: I wanted to compress on the desktop because it's much more powerful (many cores) but if it has to be single threaded, I guess I could compress on the laptop. | 04:52 |
| beginner | oh yes | 04:52 |
| alazyworkaholic | ok, not sda1 | 04:52 |
| beginner | rit | 04:52 |
| DasEi | kravlin: keeping the existing grub one is the safer way, getti9ng grub2 for further support more common | 04:52 |
| kravlin | DasEi: I left the current bootloader while installing ubuntu. now i'm trying to write the grub entry for ubuntu into menu.lst | 04:52 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: sending looks like: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda | nc 192.168.1.100 1234" | 04:53 |
| Steve973 | if I use dpkg -i and then use apt-get -f install, and then if the repo gets an update to my manually installed package, will apt-get dist-upgrade upgrade that package? | 04:53 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, if you are going to md5, then do the compression with pbzip after the transfer and comparison | 04:53 |
| DasEi | ic, and are oon arch ? | 04:53 |
| DasEi | kravlin: ^ | 04:53 |
| kravlin | DasEi: currently, because i don't know how to write the one for ubuntu yet. | 04:53 |
| alazyworkaholic | sync3times: if I'm gonna compress on the laptop, the sending stream would be: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda | bzip2 | nc 192.168.1.100"? 1234 | 04:53 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, looks good, I think you are set. I am just a little worried about the last bytes, but it will probably be alright | 04:53 |
| DasEi | kravlin: we can try, but I can't guarantee commands work on arch | 04:54 |
| sync3times | alazyworkaholic, if you are going to md5 then dont compress until the end. not transmit. | 04:54 |
| alazyworkaholic | ok | 04:54 |
| Sean93 | how do i test a script i just wrote? | 04:54 |

| F3RR1S | hey... i am going to create individual partitions for ubuntu (/, /boot, /home, /var, /usr, /tmp, and swap) what sizes should these be? I have a 200GB drive | 05:33 |
| needlez | HeTaL: I sorries to hear that | 05:33 |
| F3RR1S | I haven't really thought about it before but now I am planning to keep ubuntu on this system... I will have 3 users | 05:34 |
| HeTaL | I might have to do a clean install, but I'm at my dad's place, so no empty disks, and since it's christmas, no place to get empty cds. | 05:34 |
| sacarlson | randy_: what X application are you trying to run on your server and see on your client? | 05:34 |
| Random832 | F3RR1S: /boot should be half a gig or so at the _very beginning_ of the drive. | 05:35 |
| randy_ | sacarlson, many like openoffice | 05:35 |
| sacarlson | HeTaL: as stated you can run it on the server side and see it on both sides with vnc as in vino | 05:35 |
| HeTaL | Isn't there a way to just execute it on the X server of the server without vnc? | 05:35 |
| rdw200169 | F3RR1S: well, in my opinion, you can keep /boot /var /usr /tmp swap and / relatively small, compared to /home. you'll find you waste the most space in /home. now, personally, i like to use /opt for stuff i install that does not tie closely w/the ubuntu libraries etc... like chrome, but, hey to each their own. regardless, i use a lot of space in /opt for stuff that is used by all the users | 05:35 |
| sacarlson | randy_: I guess that would work. I run nautilus that is an X app and it works with ssh -X hostip | 05:36 |
| Random832 | maybe a gig for /boot | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | randy_: make sure you use capital -X | 05:36 |
| Random832 | but not much more - you want it to be within 1024 cylinders, since some bioses require that | 05:36 |
| randy_ | sacarlson, and I want to it like a remote learning | 05:36 |
| Random832 | rdw200169: you could always ln -s /opt /usr/opt | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | randy_: then what you want is vnc like vino | 05:37 |
| rdw200169 | Random832: sure, but why would i do that, when i have a separate partition for /opt? easy and painless, thats what. | 05:37 |
| Random832 | and allocate whatever space you'd say for both those into one partition | 05:37 |
| nesbitt | rdw200169: why have separate partitions? if you don't know how big they are going to be, don't you get the most versatility out of one shared partition (not disagreeing, just a noob trying to understand) | 05:37 |

| randy_ | sacarlson, r007 ,thank you | 05:38 |
| r007 | randy_ no probs | 05:38 |
| Random832 | anyway | 05:39 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: when you want to install a new copy of ubuntu, or some other distro of linux, you need an empty partition to install to. but, you want to share certain aspects of your life across several installations, right? like your /home folder, this is very common. your /home holds all your personal customizations and such that you would reasonably want to use synonymously between several distributions | 05:39 |
| kravlin | DasEi: got it working! | 05:39 |
| r007 | HeTaL sounds like your kernel may have upgraded have you tried selecting an alternate from grub | 05:39 |
| Random832 | i'm running gdmap | 05:39 |
| nesbitt | rdw200169: i see, that makes sense, so that means /home should be it's own, and swap obviously has to be. what about /boot? should that be separate to / ? | 05:40 |
| DasEi | kravlin: nice, which way ? | 05:40 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: the most important reason has to do with the stuff you want to keep, and the stuff you don't mind losing, after a re-installation. generally, if you were to re-install ubuntu, like a clean upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10, you would separate your /home from your / then format the old / partition and install the new ubuntu there (if there is no more space to add another partition. thus, your informa | 05:40 |
| rdw200169 | tion is safe during the upgrade | 05:40 |
| HeTaL | r007: Yes. I got different errors, but that still didn't fix it. | 05:41 |
| Random832 | nesbitt: some setups and some bioses require certain boot files to be in the first 1024 partitions [7.5GB or so] of the disk | 05:41 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: swap needs to be on its own, because its a special partition type devoted to providing that extra ram-boost. | 05:41 |
| Random832 | er, first 1024 *cylinders | 05:41 |
| r007 | Hetal does lspci pick up your wireless controller | 05:42 |
| Random832 | mine's like that for instance, it was hard to track down | 05:42 |
| nesbitt | Random832, rdw200169: ok. what about /var /usr and /tmp? | 05:42 |
| HeTaL | r007: I'll have to check. Should I do anything else while I'm there? | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: heh, i've never ran into problems with that 1024 thing with /boot being inside /, but every bios is different | 05:42 |
| HeTaL | Maybe try wlan0 up? | 05:42 |
| william | hi, I've been trying to get hardware video card working on ubuntu 10.10, having lots of trouble - is this the right place to ask? | 05:43 |
| tuxxman | hello, I'm having trouble connecting to anything that requires SSL (dropbox won't connect, chrome won't connect to anything SSL-related) | 05:43 |
| sagat | puuuts todo mundo ai é gringo | 05:43 |
| Random832 | nesbitt: i'd actually recommend /var and /tmp on the same partition (ln -s /tmp /var/tmp) | 05:43 |
| HeTaL | tuxxman: Do you have ssl supplicant installed? | 05:43 |
| sagat | fudeu | 05:43 |
| tuxxman | HeTaL: I'm not sure, but everything was working fine until this evening | 05:43 |
| nesbitt | Random832: lumped in with / ? | 05:44 |
| HeTaL | Did you update recently? | 05:44 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: if you reference the standard, this might help http://dhavalv.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/quick-introduction-to-linux-filesystem-fhs/ | 05:44 |
| tuxxman | yes | 05:44 |
| Random832 | not necessarily | 05:44 |
| r007 | hetal check your network settings are ok and that the wireless adapter is being picked up other than that you probably need to upgrade the driver | 05:44 |
| tuxxman | HeTaL: yes, but i think I restarted and used SSL afterwards | 05:44 |
| nesbitt | rdw200169: thanks | 05:45 |
| Random832 | anyway - the actual disk space usage on my system is 2.07GB /usr, 530MB /var, 300MB /lib, maybe 100MB /everything else in /, and then HUEG /home | 05:45 |
| Random832 | now, you'll want room to grow, a 100% full partition is never good even if your figures end up similar | 05:45 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: or this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 05:45 |
| magicjoe | i want to | 05:46 |
| === teknon_ is now known as red_ruin | ||
| Random832 | i'd probably say, give / [including /usr and everything] 10-15GB, a decent amount of swap, and make the rest /home | 05:46 |
| Random832 | or leave room to maybe install other OSes later | 05:46 |
| rdw200169 | nesbitt: yeah, i pretty much do the same as Random832 | 05:46 |
| tuxxman | anybody else have any ideas on SSL not working? | 05:46 |
| nesbitt | so it sounds like the way to go is separate /, /home and maybe /boot | 05:47 |
| Random832 | oh yeah and /boot | 05:47 |
| rdw200169 | tuxxman: could be a dual-homed internet connection problem, but i doubt it | 05:47 |
| Random832 | give /boot a gigabyte or so at the start of the disk | 05:47 |
| Random832 | i would also recommend that /boot is a primary partition and the rest are extnded partitions | 05:47 |
| tuxxman | rdw200169: I am on a new network since I last used it | 05:47 |
| nesbitt | Random832: what's the difference? | 05:47 |
| alkisg | Now with upstart, what executes /etc/init.d/* services? They're not started for me on a fat client... | 05:47 |

ANY help? | 05:48 |
| Random832 | nesbitt: there's not much really, though i think you need a primary partition to boot with MBR | 05:48 |
| r007 | tuxman when you say ssl is not working can you elaborate | 05:48 |
| Random832 | extended partitions are more flexible, you're not limited to four | 05:48 |
| nirazio | I have a poster I would like to print. It is far larger than a single sheet of paper that can fit in my printer. What is a program that I can use to print it out on separate sheets of paper (to assemble later)? | 05:48 |

| r007 | tuxman can you telnet to 443? | 05:49 |
| nesbitt | ok. i think i must have gotten simalar advice to what you guys are giving, i set my server up with 1GB /boot, 4GB swap, 16GB / and ~500GB (the rest) LVM for home | 05:49 |
| sync3times | nirazio, good question. You might try using openoffice draw | 05:50 |

| tuxxman | r007: but I don't understand why this would just start randomly i didn't edit the iptables | 05:59 |
| sync3times | randomdude, leave them going into a file and tail -f the files | 05:59 |
| randomdude | sync3times, yeah i wondered that but the file would be huge after a time | 06:00 |
| sacarlson | randomdude: I would think you want to look a changes in your logs so you might look at using tail -f /path/to/log/file | 06:00 |
| r007 | tuxxman have you changed anything on your system and have you checked the update logs? | 06:00 |
| sync3times | randomdude, over what time period | 06:00 |
| tuxxman | no | 06:01 |
| randomdude | sync3times, i used that before but i wonder if theres some way of redirecting the raw output | 06:01 |
| r007 | also iptables changes arent permenant unless you wrote them to file so a reboot would reset | 06:01 |

| randomdude | you can pipe via ssh to ur tty? | 06:13 |
| cowboydren | I wonder if somebody could help me find track down a problem with my SATA hardware. | 06:13 |
| shingen | randomdude: have you tried tail -f /dev/tty0 ? | 06:13 |
| snarkster | randomdude: you can start an X session thru ssh and then use logview | 06:13 |
| randomdude | shingen yeah | 06:13 |
| sacarlson | randomdude: start gnome-terminal; ssh ipofhostwithlogs; tail -f /path/to/log/file | 06:13 |
| snarkster | whats the matter with your sata hardware | 06:13 |
| randomdude | nope | 06:13 |
| randomdude | Look | 06:14 |
| randomdude | Let me explain you | 06:14 |
| cowboydren | snarkster, my hd access light is almost constantly lit, whether I can hear the disk in IO or not. | 06:14 |
| randomdude | I added a line in the syslog config of my machine, wich redirects all the system logs to a tty (tty8) | 06:14 |
| randomdude | So whenever i go there i read logs as they go into the system | 06:14 |
| snarkster | does it effect how the system is working? | 06:14 |
| randomdude | all logs | 06:14 |
| randomdude | What i want to do | 06:15 |
| randomdude | is redirect that output | 06:15 |
| randomdude | into a X terminal | 06:15 |
| sacarlson | randomdude: well turn that off and use tail | 06:15 |
| cowboydren | snarkster, no, but it worries me because the next thing I want to do is put an SSD in this sucker, and I don't want anything worse to happen. | 06:15 |
| randomdude | Without creating a file | 06:15 |
| cowboydren | I have a long history of frying disks and disk controllers. :) | 06:15 |
| snarkster | have you checked the drive | 06:15 |
| cowboydren | I'd love to. Where shall I start? | 06:16 |
| snarkster | install smart and check the drive | 06:16 |
| sacarlson | randomdude: oh so there is no disk space for the logs so you need to output it in this method? | 06:16 |
| cowboydren | snarkster, the last GUI tool I looked at said the disk was fine. | 06:16 |
| snarkster | then the disk is fine | 06:16 |
| snarkster | maybe the controller is dieing? | 06:17 |
| randomdude | sacarlson logs are already being filed, but in separate ones, this is like a supervision interface | 06:17 |
| randomdude | to see things as they happen | 06:17 |
| cowboydren | This laptop is a week old. I sure hope not. | 06:17 |
| snarkster | have you looked at the bios of the sata card | 06:17 |
| snarkster | oh its built in then | 06:17 |
| snarkster | see you left that out | 06:18 |
| sacarlson | randomdude: so what would viewing from tty differ from the view from tail -f? | 06:18 |
| FlozuzMozuz | So I am fairly new to linux (about a week in) and I installed Ubuntu on an old laptop. I have found that the terminal is where ive been spending all my time, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some cool CLI programs I could fiddle around with. | 06:18 |

| shingen | ox3a: what pl you using? | 06:45 |
| ox3a | shingen, what do you means by "pl"? | 06:46 |
| shingen | ox3a: programming language | 06:46 |
| iulian_ | what is the general flagship book for learning about the linux kernel? (for noobs) | 06:46 |
| sacarlson | shingen: I just tested screen -L in gnome-terminal and it captured the activity I did in a file screenlog.0 so I guess that would work on a tty console also? | 06:47 |

| ox3a | shingen, I am looking for just a client which can connect Microsoft sql server | 06:48 |
| shingen | sacarlson: the problem is, starting it as tty8... | 06:48 |
| ox3a | shingen, and i can run my sql query | 06:48 |
| Goddard | can anyone recommend a simple time sheet tracker? | 06:49 |
| Myrtti | Goddard: hamster-applet? | 06:49 |
| rigved | iulian_: linux kernel in a nutshell to learn about the basics of the linux kernel | 06:49 |
| shingen | ox3a: have you asked yourself what you're going to do with the data afterwards? there are a bunch of odbc handlers written into php and perl... I don't know of a simple mssql client though | 06:50 |
| Goddard | Myrtti: thats great but I need to track time based on project and client and it would also be nice to calculate the time and rate | 06:50 |
| Goddard | Myrtti: i really like that applet it just isn't enough and most others i have seen are to much and way to complicated | 06:50 |
| rigved | iulian_: that is freely available to download | 06:51 |
| === TheDreamer is now known as Youri | ||
| iulian_ | hmm... free you say? | 06:51 |
| rigved | iulian_: also, getting started with ubuntu 10.04 is a pdf to learn about ubuntu 10.04. there a pdf for 10.10 also available | 06:52 |
| shingen | rigved: kernel hackers guide was a good place to start when I read it last... that was '94 though :P | 06:52 |
| rigved | iulian_: yes. free | 06:52 |
| Ibn_Ali_al-Turki | quick question: I am doing update today and update wants to remove laptop-mode-tools....why? | 06:52 |
| rigved | shingen: ok | 06:52 |
| iulian_ | thanks rigved ill check it out | 06:52 |
| iulian_ | i also found this http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Development-Robert-Love/dp/0672329468/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1293173141&sr=1-1 .. which looks promising | 06:53 |
| rigved | iulian_: but of you want to go deep, you can do what shingen says or you can tldp.org | 06:53 |
| rigved | iulian_: tldp.org is one of the linux documentation projects | 06:53 |
| shingen | Rivged: http://tldp.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html .... '96 even, it's been awhile :P | 06:53 |
| sgo11 | hi, with sudo ifdown eth0, I got error:"ifdown: interface eth0 not configured". with sudo ifconfig eth0 down, it works fine. why? any ideas? | 06:53 |
| rigved | shingen: ohh i was also referring to tldp.org only :) | 06:54 |
| shingen | rivged: it hasn't changed much, you still do insmod to install modules... there are just alot more modules | 06:54 |
| raevol | is there a simple way to mount a .mdf image in xubuntu ala daemon tools in windows? | 06:54 |
| rigved | raevol: just right click the image file and click on mount | 06:55 |
| raevol | rigved: i'm in xubuntu, not sure that's supported in thunar :[ | 06:55 |
| rigved | raevol: you do not need special software to mount an image | 06:55 |
| shingen | raevol: you might want to check out acetoneiso | 06:55 |
| rigved | raevol: have you tried that? right click? | 06:56 |
| rigved | raevol: or you can ask in #xubuntu | 06:56 |
| tp_ | can someone help me with using VLC from the command line? I could proly look it up but if there's someone here that can help i'd rather just be lazy and ask them | 06:56 |
| raevol | rigved: just tried it | 06:56 |
| shingen | raevol: to mount proprietary ISO image formats | 06:56 |
| Eduard | Hello guys | 06:56 |
| shingen | tp_: man vlc :) | 06:56 |
| rigved | raevol: ok. maybe it works only with .iso files then. sorry | 06:56 |

| reenignEesreveR- | could someone please help me with NetworkManager not setting up correct routes? | 06:57 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: how many NICs do you have? | 06:57 |
| Eduard | Could someone tell me, is it normal, that my CRT monitors screen shape is way off normal bounds, every time i restart computer? | 06:57 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, I have two 3g USB EVDOs which I want to dial in simultaneously ... they get connected but no new gateway is added in my routing talking (not talking about default route) | 06:58 |
| Eduard | On Win XP I did not encounter such problems, on 10.10 with nvidia drivers such crap happens | 06:58 |
| rigved | Eduard: not that i know much about it but have you updated the nvidia drivers? | 06:59 |
| Goddard | Myrtti: so nothing other than that? | 06:59 |
| n_i_x | hey all... I just installed ubuntu server 10.04 on my system and told it to install grub to MBR as it's the only OS, after install it reboots to a blinking cursor.. is this a problem with grub? | 06:59 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: are both IPs on the same subnet? | 07:00 |
| rigved | n_i_x: no. wait for some time. it should boot normally | 07:00 |
| Eduard | rigved: my nvidia drivers are of the latest version, i did not install them through Additional drivers, i installed them through nvidia installer | 07:00 |
| n_i_x | rigved: how long is some time? I let it sit there for like 10 minutes | 07:00 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, they are different ISPs so i assume they'd be using different subnets | 07:00 |
| rigved | Eduard: you mean from the NVIDIA website | 07:00 |
| rigved | ? | 07:00 |
| Eduard | yes | 07:00 |
| Myrtti | Goddard: I have experience on hamster v only, google gives some suggestions but I can't recommend any | 07:00 |
| iulian_ | would I have to know any knowledge before starting to read Linux Kernel in a Nutshell? Should I read a ubuntu linux book first? | 07:01 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: have you tried to manually add routes? | 07:01 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, i expect to have a gateway entry for ppp0 and a gateway entry for ppp1 but all i get is two host entries with subnet makss 255.255.255.255 | 07:01 |
| rigved | Eduard: there is a reason that the default NVIDIA drivers are not the latest from NVIDIA. because the lates NVIDIA drivers are unstable | 07:01 |
| rologo | what is happening with ubuntu mobile? is there going to be a smartphone with ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, i haven't tried that; probably that'd work but I want the PPP to add the entries itself | 07:01 |
| rigved | Eduard: you should only install what is available in the repositoris | 07:01 |
| Eduard | rigved: i needed nvidia-96 drivers, the ones in repo's didin't work for me | 07:02 |
| rigved | !ot | rologo | 07:02 |
| ubottu | rologo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:02 |

| anand | first day in irc | 07:02 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: might need to look into pppd settings for the auto-routes is where I'd start... but manually adding will confirm it works as expected.... | 07:03 |
| rigved | iulian_: only C or C++ programming language knowledge is required | 07:03 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, i can certainly add them manually but how do i figure out what routes the ISP is issuing me? | 07:03 |
| rigved | Eduard: what problem do you have with the NVIDIA drivers from the repositories? | 07:04 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, all i get is a new entry like this: Dest: 172.16.22.13 GW: 0.0.0.0 Flags: UH Iface: ppp0 | 07:04 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: ahh, ic... can you get routes with just one interface enabled? don't forget that you'll need some way to dtermine what interface is used for what IP range.... | 07:04 |
| Eduard | rigved, after install & restart i was every time thrown into tty1 | 07:05 |
| Eduard | rigved: start x complained about missing nvidia driver in location where it was actually present | 07:05 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | how's everyone today? | 07:05 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: when you have both enabled... e.g., a router to determine which interface to use to send /retrieve traffic... | 07:05 |
| rigved | Eduard: have you upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10? | 07:05 |
| Eduard | rigved: it was a clean slate install 10.10 | 07:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: did you try to reinstall the nvidia driver? | 07:06 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: might be better off talking abobut this in #networking... it's not ubuntu specific... | 07:06 |
| spectrahp | what are PPA files? | 07:06 |
| rigved | n_i_x: no. it should not take more that 5 minutes on a decent server | 07:06 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: It did not help, I had to resort to nvidia driver installer | 07:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | spectrahp: Personal Package Archives | 07:07 |
| n_i_x | rigved: it's a brand new intel i3 540, 4gb ram | 07:07 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: because you will need a routing protocol to determine which interface to use for inbound/outbound traffic... and I'm sure you could use zebra for it, but the guys in #networking would be much more versed in doing so | 07:07 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, would u mind if i continue here? ... i think im almost there | 07:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: did you generate a xorg.conf and edit the driver in there? | 07:07 |
| rigved | !ppa | spectrahp | 07:07 |
| ubottu | spectrahp: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 07:07 |
| shingen | reenignEesreveR-: I'm just not sure how much more I can help you :) | 07:07 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: yes, i've ran nvidia-xconfig, it generated xorg.conf, but even then i was getting into tty1 | 07:08 |
| spectrahp | Us3r_Unfriendly, rigved: so they are similar to DEB files? | 07:08 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: btw, about what modifications you are speaking? | 07:08 |
| reenignEesreveR- | shingen, alright :) | 07:08 |
| rigved | Eduard: yes you could have fixed the earlier driver (from the repositoris). i don't know if the new NVIDIA drivers from the website can be fixed similarly. see what Us3r_Unfriendly says ^^ | 07:09 |
| FalleStar | On my laptop if I go into standby/hibernate, then resume it works fine for the rest of the session. If I shutdown or restart following that, GRUB refuses to start period. I have to boot into GParted Live from a bootable USB flash-drive, and then restart again upon which GRUB will start up as normal. Any ideas? | 07:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | spectrahp: the ppa is a server of known packages you can install...you could download them just as .debs too | 07:09 |
| rigved | n_i_x: then there is something wrong with the install | 07:09 |
| rigved | n_i_x: do you see only a blinking cursor? | 07:09 |
| n_i_x | rigved: yes.. just a blinking cursor in top left of screen | 07:10 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: i could reinstall my system, but could please then help me to install nvidia-96 drivers? | 07:10 |
| rigved | n_i_x: can you come to #ubuntu-server | 07:10 |
| n_i_x | rigved: sure | 07:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: sudo apt-cache search nvidia | 07:10 |
| n_i_x | didn't realize there was a server chan | 07:11 |
| shingen | /join #ubuntu-server | 07:11 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: wait, i'm now only downloading 10.10 iso | 07:11 |
| shingen | whoops :) | 07:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: if your going to reinstall why do you want to know then? The Ubuntu install should install no problems | 07:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 | 07:12 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: Additional drivers in 10.10 do not show that any gpu drivers could be found on my system | 07:12 |
| Eduard | Us3r_Unfriendly: doing plain apt-get install nvidia-96 makes my system go into tty1 after restart | 07:13 |
| blink | what is Git? should I get it?? | 07:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: sorry i didn't understand...I would from the TTY install the driver/module you need and then restart...if you get back to the TTY screen then generate a xorg.conf and configure it so it reconises your card | 07:14 |
| shero | woot | 07:14 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: I've had 2 isp's before and tried to distribute load accross them, it seemed to work in some degree but my users complained they had problems so I setup to just split groups of users to different isp's that seemed to work for me | 07:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: is ubuntu installing your driver by default in the install by chance? | 07:15 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, load balancing etc is a different issue ... i dont get the interfaces running at the first place. I have a few apps to which you can specify explicitly which particular interface to use and they are not working in my case definitely because the routing entries are not being set up | 07:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: sudo lshw and sudo lspci | 07:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: sudo lshw is my favorite | 07:17 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: sounds like a dhcp setting problem then? does one at a time work? | 07:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: for finding out info on hardware...there's also sudo dmidecode | 07:17 |
| === neiz_ is now known as neiz | ||
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: the default gateway is normaly setup with the dhcp request | 07:18 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, i think i just figured out the problem: I just tried it with networkmanager off and dialing with wvdial: I see two new entries: D:0.0.0.0 G:0.0.0.0 M:0.0.0.0 I:ppp[1/2] ... now they are working! | 07:18 |

| sacarlson | cory__: is the iphone side the host or the client? | 07:22 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: i think you might be running the wrong driver | 07:22 |
| cory__ | client | 07:22 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Eduard: if you say your running the nvidia-96 | 07:23 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | alca7raz: did you update the system? | 07:37 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, i just figured out that what im thinking is a bug might actually be a feature | 07:37 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | hey does anyone remember the command to install 3rd party drivers for dvd playback? | 07:37 |
| alca7raz | havent completed one yet, i have to hold a keyboard button fir the whole process and i dont have the fastest connection | 07:38 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: I hate features that break stuf | 07:38 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | alca7raz: which version are you using for the install? | 07:40 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, is it possible to specficy ain INTERFACE as default routing interface rather than a route as default? | 07:40 |
| sacarlson | d1g1t4l_nrg: 3rd party? you sure you don't just mean the restricted package? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 07:40 |

| UBUxUBU | annoying* | 07:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | d1g1t4l_nrg: i think you need to reboot it for it to work after you do all that | 07:42 |
| ox3a | No clue for mssql | 07:42 |
| UBUxUBU | how can i fix it | 07:42 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: I'm not sure what you mean but the default will always be setup as a path through an interface, you can have more than on default as a backup | 07:42 |
| reenignEesreveR- | Naitojen, problem is this: I have an ethernet and two pppd's connections. I have applications that can be told to explicitly use a particular interface. Howver when I dial a PPP, connection gets established but if it doesn't have a default route, it won't transmit anything | 07:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | UBUxUBU: system>administration>login screen | 07:43 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, if i dont have a default route (0.0.0.0) for a particular route, it won't work even if told explicitly to use it? | 07:43 |
| Naitojen | oh reenignEesreveR- , it's over my skills | 07:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | UBUxUBU: oops it's actually in the screen saver portion...system>preferences>screensaver | 07:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sorry about that | 07:44 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: no that would mask all so nothing would pass that, the default is normaly 255.255.255.255 | 07:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | UBUxUBU: disable the lock screen with a password | 07:44 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: I assume you mean the mask | 07:44 |

| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, here's my table: http://dpaste.de/6qPA/ | 07:47 |
| mork1 | reenignEesreveR-: do you use load balancing? | 07:48 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: so I guess the only trafic on ppp0 would be if you connected direct to 10.0.235.100 | 07:48 |
| Seta | Hey! When i have a software requestion a link like: http://aaa.aa/a can i configure my computer to forward those requests to http://bbb.bb/b ? | 07:49 |
| DannyButterman | Can't someone help me about this damn keyring ? hate this thing | 07:49 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: and same goes for ppp1 only if you connect to 172.16.22.13 will you ever touch that interface | 07:49 |
| reenignEesreveR- | mork1, no but that isn't required at the first place. I have certainly applications that can be told which interfaces they are supposed to use. However in my case they are failing to send any traffic. My guess is that my routing tables are not being setup correctly | 07:49 |
| WBC | hi guys, I need help with throttling the speed of a single local IP on my network. The question is a bit long so I pastebinned it http://pastebin.com/qzf90MR5 - any help would be appreciated, thanks. | 07:49 |
| timClicks | how do I locate my jdk? | 07:49 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, but no other traffic will be routed, right? | 07:50 |
| ShapeShifter499 | what are the alsa options? | 07:50 |
| OooNeooO | Hellow rummmmmmmmmmm | 07:50 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I need to know so I can tweak and possibly fix my sound issues | 07:50 |
| OooNeooO | any budy can help me to configure to ubuntu 10.04 | 07:51 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: all other internet trafic will be defaulted to your gateway router address 192.168.1.1 | 07:51 |
| reenignEesreveR- | hmmm... how do i fix that? add a default route for ppp0 and ppp1? that'll sorta kill the purpose because the whole system would be able to use them as well | 07:52 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: what do you hope to accomplish? distributed trafic or just backup on failure? | 07:52 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: or are they just private tunnels to distributed remote networks? | 07:53 |
| FalleStar | If I restart my laptop after going into standby, I get a blinking underscore when booting up instead of seeing GRUB. Booting into GParted Live and then restarting it again causes GRUB to load normally until I do it again. I'd like a more permanent fix though, any ideas? | 07:53 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, I'm trying to test something like this: http://nms.csail.mit.edu/projects/horde/ | 07:54 |
| ex_ | have you tried using your recovery console? | 07:54 |
| Seta | :( | 07:54 |
| Seta | Hey! When i have a software that requests links like: http://aaa.aa/a can i configure my server to forward those requests to http://bbb.bb/b ? | 07:54 |
| FalleStar | ex_: I can't see the recovery console. It's just a black screen when I boot up with a blinking underscore for a cursor in the top-left corner of the screen. | 07:55 |
| cj123 | hey looking for some help. wanted to make python 3.1 as default instead of python 2.6. How could i do that? | 07:55 |
| DannyButterman | How am I supposed to manage the keyring in order to get rid of annoying password requests ? And Why on earth no password is working ? | 07:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cj123: couldn't you just update it? | 07:55 |
| cj123 | i'm working in ubuntu 9.04 which dosent have python 3.1 in the package so i have compiled it from the source. | 07:56 |
| botdog | guys how to change my kernel? | 07:56 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: well I'm not sure how that software works or how it is configured. so I guess if left to the software to choose what path to use to transmit the data your network config could work | 07:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: system>preferences>passwords and encryptions keys | 07:57 |
| sacarlson | you could even setup dhcp so that users were passed different gateways to use all three of your internet paths | 07:58 |
| timewriter | hi | 07:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | botdog: do you already have the kernel you want? | 07:59 |
| botdog | what means rc befor kernel? | 07:59 |
| Seta | D: Please somebody help... | 07:59 |
| botdog | rc7 | 07:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | that's your runlevel | 07:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i believe | 07:59 |
| DannyButterman | Us3r_Unfriendly: no such thing. btw it's 9.04 netbook remix. I do have something like that but it's in the accessories section. And the only entry I can see in it is for login authentification. | 08:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i know on 1 through 6 | 08:00 |
| botdog | do you know what does git1 mean? | 08:01 |
| nirazio | I wish for Rhythmbox to close when the "X" is clicked, can I do these things? | 08:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: terminal: seahorse | 08:01 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | botdog: reboot and hold the shift key down while after your bios screen | 08:02 |
| Seta | skraito: my meal ^^ | 08:02 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: so what you want is to combine multi isp connections into one wide bandwidth pipe. there are other software setups to try as I did but I failed. | 08:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | botdog: you'll get a grub menu with all the kernels you have...select which one you want to boot from | 08:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | botdog: i know git is a way to copy directorys from a server | 08:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | basically a file | 08:03 |
| DannyButterman | Us3r_Unfriendly: yes the thing in accessories is actually "seahorse". The only item in it is 'login' which is about login on the box | 08:03 |
| alca7raz | botdog: if that doesnt work, you might have to run update-grub before it shows up in the boot list | 08:03 |

| DannyButterman | Us3r_Unfriendly:I right click login, click unlock, then a popup appears asking for the keyring pasword in order to unlock it. I type my login password, and it keeps on asking the same thing | 08:07 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: you would just have to program manipulate the values of iptables I guess | 08:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: are you entering the right password? | 08:07 |

| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: I couldn't detect why my users where having problems and I couldn't experiment without making too many people unhappy | 08:08 |
| DannyButterman | I do not have other password than my login password on this machine. I've checked in a notepad that it's not a "capital" issue, still I can't unlock the keyring | 08:08 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cj123: I know I have it in my repos but i'm on 10.10. Can you find a ppa of it or try to configure the 3.1 package? | 08:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: lets try in a terminal: sudo passwd | 08:09 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: but for you is is just one client on the side of the multiple isp's? | 08:09 |
| reenignEesreveR- | sacarlson, yes it is one client i.e. myself | 08:09 |
| DannyButterman | Us3r_Unfriendly:by the way, I've stumbled upon this problem a lot of times, on 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10... always the same damn keyring password question | 08:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: enter you new root password | 08:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: then login to root | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: then you should try the iptables method above and see if that works for you | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: the other problem is that the destination needs a big pipe to recieve the data | 08:10 |
| cj123 | Us3r_Unfriendly : what's ppa ? and how do i configure the package? | 08:11 |
| DannyButterman | Us3r_Unfriendly: you mean, enabling the 'root' user on the machine ? I'd prefer avoid this, but if there's no other way... | 08:11 |
| sacarlson | reenignEesreveR-: if on both sides they use multiple isp's then I guess it would be more complicted | 08:11 |
| DasEi | LoRez: pm you ? | 08:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DannyButterman: then from the root account change your password using: passwd "yourusername" | 08:12 |

| DasEi | ^might not be the youngest, ryjyd | 08:17 |

| wispurs | hey, Im pretty new to linux, installed ubuntu 10.4 worked perfectly but had to reinstall it due to trying to properly partition it, on the second install things didnt go so smoothly, but it wasnt till i had spent days reseting it all up till i realized that some things werent right, for example, i cant switch desktops, my compiz wont work and sometimes when i restart my little frames where the close/minimize/maximize buttons would be, simply doesnt exist. | 08:29 |
| wispurs | I figured i would wait for the upgrade and it would fix these problems.. i just tried to complete the upgrade but it had an error with vmware but otherwise seemed to complete... however all the same problems still exist, is there anything i can do or is it going to require a completely fresh install? | 08:29 |

| hanasaki | ScottDD: what is this then? http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/pricing.html | 09:25 |
| MadRobot | rigved, this has been bothering me in the previous version too. I solve it temporarily by selecting another server, but it doesn't take a long time to come back again. | 09:25 |
| ScottDD | HOld up hanasaki. I use more than 2 connections and don't pay. | 09:26 |
| rigved | MadRobot: run sudo apt-get update in the terminal. what does that tell you? error? | 09:26 |
| hanasaki | ScottDD: so what's the 'pay for have'? you have a web gui and all with the ubuntu server install? | 09:26 |
| ScottDD | No, I don't have a webgui. I just do it 'by hand'. | 09:27 |

| BiDDo | Hi All | 09:49 |
| FLeiXiuS | When I type startx where is the configuration to run gnome-session stored? | 09:49 |
| synackfin | everytime I reboot, my /var partition isn't mounted and I need to fsck.jfs the partition and manually mount -- anybody know why? | 09:49 |
| BiDDo | Just wanted to check that I have done the right thing or if I have missed something | 09:49 |
| skraito | hi biddo | 09:49 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, whats your /var partition look like under /etc/fstab | 09:50 |
| BiDDo | I see this thing called wubi mentioned when installing within windows should I have used this to install into vbox | 09:50 |
| === richard is now known as Guest95623 | ||
| nirazio | Fresh install 10.10 all my bookmarks mainly ftp and ssh bookmarks open firefox and show a web based file browser instead of spawning a nautilus window. have no idea what caused this never seen this before. This kills me on this machine to not be able to transfer/edit remote files right from my places menu. | 09:51 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: /dev/mapper/sfort_var /var jfs defaults 0 0 | 09:52 |
| rigved | BiDDo: are you trying to install inside a Windows Guest OS? | 09:52 |
| synackfin | the root partition mounts fine: /dev/mapper/sfort-root / ext4 defaults 0 0 | 09:52 |
| pradyumna | how to change resolution by using terminal | 09:53 |
| BiDDo | no i am trying to install ubu as a guest within 7 | 09:53 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: the only difference is that / is ext4 and /var is jfs | 09:54 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: but even if I do a graceful reboot, /var isn't properly unmounted and needs fsck'ing again | 09:54 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, when running fsck does the drive mount properly? And does fsck report any resolved errors? | 09:54 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: yeah, every time fsck has to fix something | 09:54 |
| rigved | BiDDo: so, your Host OS is Win 7 and you wan to install Ubuntu in a VM? | 09:54 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, out of curiosity why is your var mounted with jfs ;-) | 09:55 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: not sure, I copied it someone else :) | 09:55 |
| BiDDo | yes | 09:55 |
| rigved | BiDDo: then Wubi will not work. you need to install from the official Ubuntu CD | 09:55 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, oh...you manually partitioned this system? | 09:55 |
| BiDDo | ok thats all i wanted to know thanks | 09:55 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: yeah, it's on LVM | 09:55 |
| rigved | BiDDo: download the .iso image and use that to boot the VM. all the best! | 09:55 |
| BiDDo | wI have it installed just wanted to make sure it was correct as I seem to be getting an error of sorts on startup | 09:56 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: raid5+lvm | 09:56 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: but -every- other partition on the lvm works fine, just /dev/mapper/sfort_var is acting up | 09:56 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, thats similar to my setup just never seen anyone in modern linux use jfs ;-) | 09:56 |
| FLeiXiuS | bah let me rephrase, modern ubuntu | 09:56 |
| rigved | BiDDo: is there some other error? | 09:56 |
| botdog | maybe i'v been lost^^ what's the regular config file do i need to confugire and build my kernel? | 09:57 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: I can try creating a ext4 partition, but I'm not sure if that'll help | 09:57 |
| BiDDo | when i start the machine i get a ubdate bios error that causes it to hang | 09:57 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: there's something more basic going on, like the fact it isn't unmounting prior to reboot | 09:57 |
| rigved | BiDDo: which VM software? | 09:57 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, the drive should umount if its in /etc/mtab after booted | 09:57 |
| rigved | BiDDo: you need to make sure that your VM software is updated | 09:58 |
| ik3glq | che skifezza de prg | 09:58 |
| rigved | BiDDo: i also get the warning but my system works fine | 09:58 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, you could make the last character of the fstab line to '2' | 09:59 |
| rigved | BiDDo: ubuntu server in Virtual Box | 09:59 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, 2 will force a fsck ;-) | 09:59 |
| BiDDo | i can do a screen for you to show you not sure where to link it too though | 09:59 |
| BiDDo | ok | 09:59 |
| synackfin | FLeiXius: ahh, that's useful, let me try that | 09:59 |
| BiDDo | yeah it works just seems to hang | 09:59 |
| rigved | BiDDo: tahe the screen shot and put it on imagebin | 09:59 |
| sacarlson | botdog: you sure you want to compile a kernel? cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config | 09:59 |
| BiDDo | kk | 09:59 |
| FLeiXiuS | synackfin, are they properly unmounted during init 0 (shutdown) or just a init 6 (reboot) | 10:00 |

But I noticed a few changes to my settings after I've installed it. One of that is - When ever I double click the title bar of a window, it is "rolled" now.

| ruby_on_tails | hi there | 10:51 |
| === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy | ||
| ruby_on_tails | i am using jaunty , and my synaptic has php 5.2.6 and no upgrades available , i need to upgrade to 5.2.10 | 10:51 |
| ruby_on_tails | how do i do that ? | 10:51 |
| BiDDo | hey hey | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !jaunty | 10:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ruby_on_tails: upgrade to the latest ubuntu release is proberly the best way. Or use source to just upgrade php. (may not be a good idea) | 10:52 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Looking for some direction on video setup with triple monitors (2XnVidia (TwinViewed) + 1xRadeon (separate X-session)). When this box boots, he Ubuntu logo shows on the Radeon screen, then flips off and goes to just the two nVidia screens twinview style. | 10:52 |
| ruby_on_tails | Dr_Willis: i need to upgrade via the source method | 10:53 |
| ruby_on_tails | can u help me how | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | NineTeen67Comet: mixxing in ati and nvidia - has been very problematic. Ive only managed to get 3 monitors working with just nvidia chipsets.. and even then that was problemaic. | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ruby_on_tails: download the source.. compile/install it. | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !source | 10:53 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 10:53 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Dr_Willis: No problem .. the new year is a commin' and I'll be back to my all nVidia setup (Had all 5 working a couple years ago w/all nVidia stuff). Thanks though; I'll go fire up google some more .. | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ruby_on_tails: one trick that can make that easisr is the 'build-dep' option of the package manager. It can pull in all needed compile dependencies for packages that exist in the repos. thus making the source easier to compile also | 10:54 |
| === dominoeffekt is now known as DominoDrive | ||
| Dr_Willis | ruby_on_tails: sudo apt-get build-dep phpXXXX (no idea what the right name is) , then find the source, and try to compile it. | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ruby_on_tails: that release of ubuntu is past its end of life.. so its a good idea to plan on upgradeing soon. | 10:55 |
| rigved | ruby_on_tails: but you must remember that jaunty is past its update period. so you cannot update normally anymore. just making sure that you understand that | 10:55 |
| ruby_on_tails | of course | 10:56 |

| ElPasmo | Hi, I've downloaded Natty amd64 daily build: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/natty-desktop-amd64.iso and I've use the startup disk creator to create an usb live. The problem is I'm not able to boot from usb live, it keeps forever doing the load animation with the Ubuntu logo. | 11:02 |
| nirazio | I like the Puppy Lupu Desktop icons. Are they available as a separate iconset to use in Ubuntu? | 11:02 |
| icesword | !Christmas | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | nirazio: ask in #puppylinux perhaps. or check that disrtos homepage to see what icon set its using. | 11:03 |
| rigved | ElPasmo: firstly /join #ubuntu+1 for natty support (not supported here). secondly, your graphics card may not support the LiveCD installation. so check that also | 11:05 |
| ElPasmo | oh rigved thanks, how I can check the graphic card? | 11:06 |
| rigved | ElPasmo: check online for a list of supported graphics cards (don't remember the link though - ask in #ubuntu+1) | 11:08 |
| ElPasmo | Ok, thanks rigved | 11:08 |
| rigved | ElPasmo: you are welcome | 11:08 |
| rigved | ElPasmo: also you need to remember that natty is currently not for production system (only developers and testers). wait the #ubuntu+1 channel is currently slow moving (not many people onlune) | 11:10 |
| rigved | *online | 11:10 |
| BiDDo | im going mad trying to find this guide i saw last night | 11:10 |
| ElPasmo | Yes, I know... thanks a lot :) | 11:10 |
| rigved | BiDDo: do you wipe your history? otherwise easy to find. also see !ot | 11:11 |

| TheRufus | hey guys. I have Ubuntu 8 server on a 2 drive RAID1 array and I need to back the whole thing up. I can't lose any data and I need to be able to boot the system back if something goes wrong. I'm migrating all the data to a new server eventually. What's the best way to duplicate a RAID1 array to a single drive and have it bootable? | 11:17 |

| rigved | TheRufus: easier way to do it - http://maketecheasier.com/backup-ubuntu-with-remastersys/2008/12/22 | 11:24 |
| TheRufus | i know that in raid1, one drive is a backup, but if I just boot off that drive, will it just mark it as a dirty raid and not boot? | 11:24 |
| rigved | TheRufus: it will mean that your other drive (which has been changed) is unusable until you set it in the raid array again. not sure though | 11:27 |
| rigved | TheRufus: you can still boot from the backup | 11:27 |

| cosmin | how do i increse the volume. on windows xp i had the twice of power that i have now on ubuntu | 11:29 |
| rigved | cosmin: in the top right panel, you'll see a sound icon. click on that and then Sound Prefernces | 11:29 |

| Dr_Willis | you may also want to check the alsa-mixer (in a terminal) could be the system vol, or pcm vol is set low. | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | then some apps have their own mixer/controls | 11:30 |
| AnthonyCat | I tried to create a usb drive to run ubuntu on my mac, but everything seemed ok, until I rebooted and the usb didn't show up. What could be wrong? | 11:30 |

| cosmin | to enter in the alsa-mixer | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | AnthonyCat: created how | 11:30 |

| rigved | cosmin: it can only increase to 150%. beyond that you'll loose quality | 11:33 |
| cosmin | ok | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | randy2009: i think you tar then - then gzip them. check the tar command options | 11:33 |
| cosmin | i am not in the input panel of the sound preferences and its set to maximul | 11:33 |
| cosmin | i think its 150% as you said | 11:33 |

| rigved | frxstrem: min 50 GB recommended 80 GB | 11:38 |
| rigved | frxstrem: these are subjective | 11:38 |
| bazhang | rigved, frxstrem no need for 50 GB, not even close | 11:38 |
| rigved | randy2009: use logrotate to automatically rotate files | 11:38 |
| rigved | randy2009: it compresses automatically | 11:39 |
| bookses | Hi, meery christmas to all! | 11:39 |
| rigved | bazhang: on my system it is 50 GB (excluding /home) | 11:39 |
| bookses | How can I change the title of the term in my C program? | 11:39 |
| bazhang | rigved, but thats not a minimum, not even close | 11:40 |
| cosmin | got it :D | 11:40 |
| rigved | bazhang: ohh. okk | 11:40 |
| cosmin | i inceased the volume just a little bit :d | 11:40 |

| Stava | So i've got a atheros wireless card, and my network manager will show me nearby networks, but it wont connect (wpa2). whats that about? | 11:44 |

| rigved | is lampp diferent from LAMP? | 11:46 |
| Jragon | What should i do, use XAMPP or use the manuly installed one? | 11:46 |
| Jragon | Lampp is XAMPP for linux. | 11:46 |
| bazhang | Jragon, neither xampp is not supported here | 11:46 |
| rigved | oh ok. windows environments | 11:47 |

| === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees | ||
| rigved | Stava: make sure that you have wpa_supplicant. and install wicd manager. it s GUI to manage networks | 11:50 |
| Jragon | ... | 11:51 |
| Stava | rigved, this is a fresh 10.10 desktop installation | 11:51 |
| Stava | rigved, So I wont be using the network manager? | 11:51 |
| pete_ | hi | 11:52 |
| rigved | Stava: both are same. you can use either | 11:52 |
| kevin__ | it's 7 am here what time is it where everybody is at? | 11:52 |
| pr0t0c0n | what wireless interface are you using | 11:52 |
| pr0t0c0n | wlan0 ? | 11:52 |
| Stava | rigved, So I just need wpa_supplicant? | 11:52 |
| rigved | Stava: yes. to connect to encrypted connections | 11:52 |
| coz_ | rigved, near 7 am here also | 11:53 |
| Stava | rigved, I would have thought that was out of the box functionality :o | 11:53 |

| pr0t0c0n | ah nm so your wireless interface is up you just cant connect to encrypted AP | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | theres so many variatiy of wireless and drivers that bugs can happen. | 11:53 |
| Jragon | Errr. When I plugged in my monitor it is now well there is a very large gap between the tern off button and the rest. What happend? | 11:54 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, I can scan for networks | 11:54 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, Can't connect (its a wpa2 network) | 11:54 |
| kevin__ | ubuntu is awesome just want to say thank you to everyone for making ubuntu such an awesome os | 11:54 |
| pr0t0c0n | can you connect to un secure networks as well | 11:54 |
| rigved | Stava: it is but in your case maybe something went wrong | 11:54 |
| pr0t0c0n | i guess what im asking is is it just encrypted access points that you cant connect to , or is it anynetwork | 11:55 |
| kevin__ | i would have never been able to get my wireless network working without u guys so thanks | 11:56 |
| Stava | rigved, pr0t0c0n I turned off encryption now, still wont connect (hidden ssid though) :o | 11:56 |
| pr0t0c0n | what network interface arre you using ? | 11:56 |
| pr0t0c0n | wlan0 ? | 11:57 |
| Jragon | Anyone? | 11:57 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, I guess | 11:57 |
| Stava | yes | 11:57 |
| rigved | Stava: no. it's not possible to connect to hidden encrypted networks out of the box. broadcast SSID. then it'll work | 11:57 |
| davzie | Hahahaha http://xkcd.com/838/ | 11:57 |
| rigved | Stava: i had same problem earlier. this way it worked for me | 11:57 |
| Stava | rigved, broadcasting ssid, no encryption, no connection | 11:58 |
| MadRobot | rigved, hi | 11:58 |
| rigved | MadRobot: hi | 11:58 |
| Jragon | @davzie lol | 11:58 |
| Stava | rigved, Its an atheros card by the way | 11:58 |
| MadRobot | rigved, sorry I had to go urgently back then. | 11:58 |
| pr0t0c0n | try running ifconfig wlan0 in the command terminal and tell me what the brdcst Ip is | 11:59 |
| kevin__ | alright everyone i'm leaving | 11:59 |
| randy2009 | how can i remove directory information when creating a tar? So if i untar a file i get the files in the current dir and not in currentdir/x/x/x/x/x/x/x/ | 11:59 |
| sacarlson | Stava: did you turn the encrypion off on your client now also? | 11:59 |
| rigved | MadRobot: np. i forgot what i was helping you with. bad repo signature? | 11:59 |
| kevin__ | can't understand half of what is said in this room | 11:59 |
| MadRobot | rigved, I fixed that problem (for now at least) by selecting the main server. | 11:59 |
| Jragon | Bye then. | 11:59 |
| Stava | sacarlson, of course, i deleted all saved entries | 11:59 |
| kevin__ | bye bye | 11:59 |
| MadRobot | rigved, yeah. | 11:59 |
| rigved | MadRobot: yes. that is what i was going to suggest | 11:59 |
| linuxg | hey all | 12:00 |
| Stava | And now the network card seem to have shut down itself, cause I dont get any scan results now | 12:00 |
| jahrra | Stava: can you try to connect to a different access-point? | 12:00 |
| Stava | jahrra, all other are encrypted | 12:00 |
| MadRobot | rigved, umm.. there's some other (unrelated) problem, if you don't mind. | 12:00 |
| pr0t0c0n | just run ifconfig and look to see if your wireless interface is negotiating with the router by looking to see what the Bcast ip is | 12:00 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, wlan is down atm, no idea why | 12:01 |
| rigved | MadRobot: ubuntu related? then shoot... | 12:01 |
| MadRobot | rigved, yes sure | 12:01 |
| linuxg | does anyone know how to get rid of a hacker who used guest account somehow remotley to gain root? | 12:01 |

| pr0t0c0n | ok do this type ifconfig wlan0 down , then close out all of your wifi managers or refresh them | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxg: theres root kit scanners and stuff.. but how can you be sure you got everything.. | 12:03 |

| rigved | MadRobot: i don't know how to debug that. maybe something /var/log/messages. i suggest that you use hibernate instead. | 12:05 |
| sacarlson | linuxg: from what port, service do you provide? port 80 appache? | 12:05 |
| pr0t0c0n | ok do this | 12:05 |
| linuxg | i saw several guest entries, and he uploaded some shells wich was kinda nice of him. ip:pw ect to some highspeed oc line networks | 12:06 |
| === denny- is now known as denny | ||
| pr0t0c0n | type iwconfig into a command terminal and tell me what the output says | 12:06 |
| MadRobot | rigved, the weird thing is that almost the same thing happens to hibernate as well. | 12:06 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, I cant copy and paste that (obviously). But it says something about wlan0 and IEEE 802.11bgn | 12:07 |
| linuxg | i have port fowarding setup for my linux server | 12:07 |
| sacarlson | linuxg: I've been hacked before from oscommerce the older version, but only little can happen if you keep the owners of the files in /var/www something other than www-data | 12:07 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, power management on, access point: not-associated | 12:07 |
| rigved | MadRobot: hmmm. check /var/log/ files for any error messages. don't know where this is exactly logged | 12:07 |
| linuxg | so..... ssh, vnc, and a few more | 12:07 |
| linuxg | and yes apache | 12:07 |
| pr0t0c0n | ok what does it say beside ESSID ? | 12:07 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, off/any | 12:07 |
| pr0t0c0n | ok | 12:07 |
| sacarlson | linuxg: on ssh you should put it on a none standard port like 3333 | 12:08 |
| pr0t0c0n | type ifconfig wlan0 down | 12:08 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, done | 12:08 |
| lastchance | so little help please i got the download i tried to make a iso so i can make a pendrive. and well its not saying its a iso its sayin is a MDS file ? did i write the image wrong lol ? | 12:08 |
| linuxg | how do you config ssh to run on a diffrent port than 22? | 12:08 |
| sacarlson | linuxg: did you look at the apache logs? that's how I found how my hacker got in | 12:08 |
| rigved | sacarlson: and linuxng should not allow port scanning | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | lastchance: 'whats' saying it? you srue its not some windows app that juzt assoicated itself with the .iso files? have windows unhide the extensions. | 12:09 |
| pr0t0c0n | make sure the wireless router doesnt have any security encryption and is broadcasting | 12:09 |
| rigved | sacarlson: l*inuxg | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | lastchance: windows and its apps are often rather silly. Ive seen 'winrar' claim iso files. so people think they are downloading .rar archives when they in fact are geting iso;s | 12:10 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, it does not, and I can connect to it with my phone | 12:10 |
| Sub_Zero | Has anyone successfully used a WBFS mounting tool? Such as Wiithon? I've tried it and for some reason it just doesn't see my ext HD | 12:10 |
| sacarlson | rigved: how can you prevent someone from port scanning you ? | 12:10 |
| pr0t0c0n | then type ifconfig wlan0 up , then bring up your wifi manager and scan for avalible networks | 12:10 |
| lastchance | hmm well when i get the iso it show up as WINRAR | 12:10 |
| pilulap | Hi all. I have a silly question. Is there any way to undo a rm command :) ? | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | pilulap: not very easially. | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !undelete | pilulap | 12:10 |
| ubottu | pilulap: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 12:10 |
| sacarlson | linuxg: to change sshd port see /etc/ssh config files | 12:10 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, I'm scanning with iwlist scan, and i get no results | 12:11 |
| pilulap | Thanks | 12:11 |
| lwizardl | hello | 12:11 |
| lastchance | so i dont need to write the files in the winrar to a image using a program its still a iso cause i cant load it in my usb installer | 12:11 |
| pr0t0c0n | after you type ifconfig wlan0 up into the command prompt and bring up the wifi manager see if you can find a network | 12:11 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, I see a few networks there, yes | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | lastchance: because winrar has taken over the file assication.. dopnt just 'double click' on the files.. use the proper tools to access them tod ow hat you want. | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | lastchance: i always make windows 'show' extensions, | 12:12 |
| pr0t0c0n | ok select a network that is unsecure if avalible | 12:12 |
| rigved | sacarlson: if you get too many icmp (or whatever) packets on all your ports, then someone is doing a port scan. i don't know but may be iptables can be set to detect and then block all for that IP | 12:12 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, It'll try to connect for a few minutes, but in the end it will fail... i'll try it again | 12:13 |
| Sub_Zero | Has anyone used Wiithon before? | 12:13 |
| techbreak | it says download stable version of google chrome... and unicoder render I am unable to download :( | 12:13 |
| Diskopanda | What's the #thing for the wine IRC? | 12:13 |
| lastchance | okie i slightly understand that ill see what i can do im not a expert computer kid but i kno more then the average joe. | 12:13 |
| rigved | Diskopanda: #winehq | 12:13 |
| Diskopanda | lastchance: no you dont, stop lieing. | 12:13 |
| Diskopanda | rigved: thanks :) | 12:14 |
| sacarlson | rigved: you can't stop someone from port scanning you, but you can move services to none standard ports so they don't know what protocal to use to attack/breakin to it | 12:14 |
| lwizardl | I am picking up a new laptop in about an hour. I am looking for a program to do a 100% backup of the hard drive and all partitions from the factory. I am wanting to make the backup as like either an iso or similar so that if I ever have to send it in for repair I can just restore their files onto the drive and be done. which applcation boot cd should I be using i have partimage, clonezilla, and gparted burned to discs | 12:14 |
| rigved | Diskopanda: you are welcome | 12:14 |
| ohmy | hi | 12:14 |
| lastchance | ya i do but i been a gay windows user forever and im tired of this crap it sucks to me | 12:14 |
| techbreak | whats there in stable and unstable version of chrome ? I am not able to download unicoder in unstable.. | 12:14 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, Its using the ath9k driver, perhaps I should use something else? :o | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: ive often used 'dd' or other tools and imaged the HD to a external USB HD. | 12:14 |
| rigved | sacarlson: i don't remember this but i had read about something like this for my System Security class. :) | 12:15 |
| lwizardl | Dr_Willis, yeah I don't want to do a bit to bit copy using the full external drive. | 12:15 |
| ohmy | i'm using kubuntu10.10 and when i run opengl applications in full screen mode i can still see kde taskbar, isnt it possible to have opengl application running in true fuill screen mode ? | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: for windows partitions - yoy may have to. | 12:15 |
| lwizardl | Dr_Willis, the laptop I'm getting has a 320gb hdd and my external is a 1tb | 12:15 |
| sacarlson | linuxg: rgved: the weakness is in the software we run in appache that sometimes have security problems that are isolated some time after install. but you can add multilevel security so those are limited. | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: you can dd to a 'file' for a image file. | 12:16 |
| pr0t0c0n | do you have an atheros wifi device ? | 12:16 |
| jahrra | Stava: s far is i know, ath9k is okay for atheros wifi chips | 12:16 |
| rigved | sacarlson: ok | 12:17 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, jahrra I have Atheros AR928X | 12:18 |
| techbreak | google chrome beta problems in unicode rendering... any help ? | 12:18 |
| evaluate | hello | 12:18 |
| lwizardl | Dr_Willis, yeah the laptop will have windows seven as the default os and I will say that is only going to be on the system until i have t backed up and then never infect the machine again | 12:19 |
| pr0t0c0n | try NDISwrapper | 12:19 |
| jahrra | Stava: according to 'lspci' i have an Atheros AR928X too, using the ath9k-driver and everything worked out of the box for me | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: these days - i normally just buy a 2nd hard drve for my linux laptops and keep the windows hd somewhere safe. | 12:19 |
| Stava | jahrra, that gave me a little hope :o | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: given how cheap HDs are these days. :) | 12:19 |
| evaluate | I've got this network card: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) and on ubuntu maverick it doesn't seem to work (worked fine in lucid). Any suggestions? | 12:19 |
| Jragon | http://xkcd.com/411 | 12:20 |
| evaluate | Btw, the error I'm receiving is: "Bad password"... | 12:20 |
| lwizardl | Dr_Willis, yeah but if I was to do that at this time I would just buy a larger one and store the small 320 | 12:20 |
| sacarlson | jahrra: I use the ath9k driver also in my eeepc works perfect but never tried wpa2, wep did work | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: or i just make the 'restore cd/dvd' sets the win makers let you make. and not worry about iot. | 12:20 |
| Stava | jahrra, perhaps there is a problem with ubuntu 10.10 and this particular card/driver? what else could there be? | 12:20 |
| Stava | lots of things i guess, but keep in mind that this is a fresh install | 12:20 |
| Stava | ation | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lwizardl: thats what i do. i replaced the last 320 laptop with a 500gb hd that was on sale that day. cheaper/faster then worrying about backing up 200GB of whats mostly cruft to dvd | 12:21 |
| pr0t0c0n | try reinstalling the driver , if you still have problems then id go with a difrent driver | 12:21 |
| lwizardl | Dr_Willis, I plan to make the restore dvd/s but I want to remove everything and give me back also the 4-10gb used for hidden restore partition | 12:21 |

| jahrra | Stava: did the atheros-card work before you installed ubuntu? | 12:23 |
| Guest40902 | toor | 12:23 |
| pr0t0c0n | i would also double check your network configuration manager | 12:24 |
| Stava | jahrra, I've never used this computer before installing ubuntu | 12:24 |
| Stava | jahrra, no one have | 12:24 |
| jahrra | okay, just asking ;) | 12:24 |
| pr0t0c0n | if you can detect a network then the card should be working fine | 12:24 |
| Stava | is the madwifi driver good? | 12:24 |
| twitch | Guest40902: ain't backtrack :P | 12:25 |
| pr0t0c0n | its just a matter of figuring out why its not working like its supposed to | 12:25 |

| ouyes | hello everybody, I need your help | 12:25 |
| jahrra | pr0t0c0n: i did see broken wifi-cards that could see wireless networks, but were unnable to connect - altough under windows | 12:27 |
| JPSman | so I understand that there is a GUI for ntfsundelete on the LiveCD, but can I run it without the livecd/ | 12:27 |

| miasma | tas: there's no free tool for converting NTFS -> ext4 in-place afaik | 12:29 |

| sunrize | how to download books in ubuntu | 12:30 |
| sunrize | ? | 12:30 |
| techbreak | which is the latest kernel version ? 2.6.35 ? | 12:30 |

| paco_ | que le pasa ami ordenador que no conecta con internet | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sunrize: depends on what books/sites/whatever.. the google books project has a lot in pdf/ebook formats. | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sunrize: project guttenberg has a lot of books also. | 12:31 |
| sunrize | Dr_Willis, is there any web link if so give me that | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sunrize: other then google.. not off hand. | 12:31 |

| jahrra | Stava: before you start updating/downgrading drivers etc, do have any chance to try to connect to some other wireless network and see if you get the same problem there? | 12:33 |
| Jragon | But there all locked and i have about 10-15) | 12:33 |
| Stava | jahrra, I guess I could try another router | 12:33 |
| pr0t0c0n | try that | 12:33 |
| paco_ | join ubuntu | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Jragon: unlock/move them i guess. or try loging out/back in. | 12:33 |
| sacarlson | stava: also I would try bypass the network managers and try static from cli setup | 12:33 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, Well, wlan has a HWaddr, its "UP BROADCAST MULTICAST", mtu is 1500 etc | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Jragon: theres known 'bugs' with panel things not mioving where they should. | 12:34 |
| Stava | sacarlson, I will try that, but ultimately I want to use the network manager | 12:34 |
| LeFF | hi 2 all =) | 12:34 |
| pr0t0c0n | but do you see an IP associated with wlan0 ? | 12:34 |
| Stava | pr0t0c0n, No, im not connected | 12:34 |
| sacarlson | stava: well first you need to isolate where the problem comes from. maybe it's a hardware problem | 12:34 |
| sacarlson | stava: things do break | 12:35 |

| Stava | sacarlson, Well the network card is recognized, a driver is loaded for it, and it can scan for networks | 12:35 |

| pr0t0c0n | yea have you double checked your network manager settings ? | 12:41 |
| sacarlson | stava: I would start there since many have had problems with the new network-manager version, if that failed I would try cli, I can't find the scripts I used to setup wifi with a script | 12:41 |
| Stava | sacarlson, Shouldnt I try cli first? | 12:42 |
| Stava | I guess that would be the most foolproof way? If I know the syntax | 12:42 |

| ubottu | Infrid64: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 12:49 |
| LeFF | <saulus> ok. I've installed UBU but after installation it just doesn't start that's the problem Grub rescue sais Unknown device that's why I'm trying with lilo | 12:49 |

| rigved | rs0832: what? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | LeFF: you may be better luck with trying to fix trub. then trying to get lilo going. | 12:50 |
| rigved | rs0832: ohh np | 12:50 |

| sunrize | slipttees, welcome | 12:50 |
| slipttees | okay, bit problem, caps lock inverter, howto fix it? | 12:50 |
| LeFF | Dr_Willis ok why Grub not lilo? | 12:50 |
| sacarlson | stava: and a note is that you have no essid assigned; you need to disable network-manager and try sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid accesspointname | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | LeFF: lilo is old old old... | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | LeFF: and may not even work propelry with newer hardware | 12:51 |
| slipttees | caps lock actived = kkkk - caps lock disabled= KKKK | 12:51 |
| nilsma | ubuntu 10.04, installed ndiswrapper for usb nic (gigabyte gn-wb32L), and added some drivers in blacklist.conf (followed howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper), now the computer wont boot with the usb connected, but will when i remove the usb - any suggestions on how to fix this? i assume theres a conflicting driver i havent blacklisted properly | 12:51 |
| LeFF | Dr_Willis may be... ok thanks I'll try do smth with Grub. | 12:52 |
| zagabar | Wth, something really strange has happened to one of my folders. :S http://pastebin.com/sqjAhzTW What is this? | 12:52 |
| Infrid64 | thanks Dr_Willis | 12:52 |
| slipttees | rs0832: u can help me? | 12:53 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: hmm... | 12:54 |
| saulus | LeFF: try reinstalling and pull out every usb-disc like external harddisc, usb-player, stuff like that. Do a normal boot with a normal system setting and then the normal ubuntu installation should make it perfectly | 12:54 |
| jahrra | nilsma: are you sure your pc does not try to boot from the usb-device? did you check the boot-priority-settings in your BIOS? | 12:54 |
| munky | hi | 12:54 |
| sunrize | how to run java swing | 12:55 |

| slipttees | rs0832: please, my caps lock's inverte: activated: ubuntu - disabled: UBUNTU | 12:55 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: was it working before? | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | zagabar: i would fsck the filesystem.. when you see ??? in filenames/permissions - thats not a good sign. | 12:55 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: my guess is that your filesystem is not standard linux ext3-6 it must be like ntfs or fat32 or connected via samba | 12:55 |
| munky | i want to add 60 hz refresh | 12:55 |
| nilsma | jahrra, i will try that | 12:55 |
| LeFF | saulus can it be the raid problem? why system doesnt start | 12:55 |
| slipttees | rs0832: work fine | 12:55 |
| rigved | zagabar: that is weird. try the chown command again - sudo chown -cR /path/to/folder | 12:55 |

| bibic682 | hello, Why does my hhd led blink constantly every 1.5 to 2 seconds.....10.10.....have already stopped polling of cd and dvd drives | 12:55 |
| saulus | LeFF: yes. That my be the issue. | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bibic682: ive had hd lights blink to show they are ins sleep/suspend mode | 12:56 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: ok hold on ... let me see | 12:56 |
| zagabar | Dr_Willis: Dayum... D: | 12:56 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: It is ext4 | 12:56 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: try look at the mount point of that dir with mount command | 12:56 |
| saulus | LeFF: but the new grub (since ubuntu 10.04 I think and 10.10 for sure) should handle raids. | 12:56 |
| zagabar | rigved: Okay I'l try that | 12:56 |
| slipttees | rs0832: humm u see | 12:57 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: is it mounted read/write? | 12:57 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: does this persist on restart? | 12:57 |
| slipttees | yeah | 12:57 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: sudo chown zagabar -cR /home/share/ reported no changes | 12:57 |
| bibic682 | my other machine 10.10 also does not do this | 12:57 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: yup, read/write | 12:57 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: you have an led for the caps lock on your keyboard, right? | 12:58 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: what else did the mount show us? | 12:58 |
| slipttees | yep | 12:58 |
| slipttees | rs0832: | 12:58 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: I am not sure on how to check with the mount, but "mount /home" (which is the mountpoint gave: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda4 is already mounted on /home | 12:58 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: I'm not asking you to mount it I want to just see how it's mounted , just sudo mount will show all your mount points | 12:59 |
| ztiquetqe | Ive got infinite kdm login loop | 12:59 |
| ztiquetqe | anyone can help me ? | 12:59 |
| Gnea | ztiquetqe: pretty sure kubuntu uses kdm, #kubuntu ought to be the place to ask | 13:00 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: sorry i m taking long time to reply:) there is a setting though, that allows you to turn caps off on every restart | 13:00 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: oh sorry. It says: /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw) | 13:00 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: also a sudo ls -l might show us something | 13:00 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: it should work | 13:01 |
| slipttees | :D | 13:01 |
| slipttees | rs0832: humm...thx, ill try | 13:01 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: ok that looks fine | 13:01 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 13:01 |
| UBUxUBU | how can i tell if i am running 64 bit ubuntu | 13:01 |

| UBUxUBU | gnea it said x86_64 hmm which one does that mean...its says both? | 13:05 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: that was the folders apps, video and games and they still looks like ???? when doing ls -l without sudo | 13:05 |
| Gnea | UBUxUBU: if it's got 64 attached to it, it's 64bit | 13:05 |
| UBUxUBU | k thanks gnea | 13:05 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: those are filename that just have caricters that you can't print | 13:05 |
| Gnea | UBUxUBU: if it started with an 'i' it would be 32bit | 13:05 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: also, are you using openoffice? | 13:05 |
| Gnea | i686 | 13:06 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: the part I didn't understand was the directories with permisions you couldn't read. maybe a chmod thing? | 13:06 |
| slipttees | rs0832: BRoffice | 13:06 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: can you type something in gedit and check if it works there? | 13:07 |
| slipttees | rs0832: unplug and plug no work, i'll try turn off caps lock and reboot | 13:07 |
| slipttees | rs0832: yes, moment | 13:07 |
| rocket16 | I bought a Philips gogear muse 8 GB. Is there a way to get it working with rhythmbox? | 13:08 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: are you sure that they are unreadable filenames? These three are folders and I get this when doing an ls -l without sudo on the folder: http://pastebin.com/zBz8vdvF | 13:08 |
| nilsma | jahrra, now it boots with the dongle in (after disabling boot other device in bios), but now it wont detect in nm-applet :p | 13:08 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: Yep, the permissions are strange. I made a chmod 666 recursively before, and tried ti again now but the same thing happens | 13:09 |
| slipttees | rs0832: turn off caps lock and reboot, works :D | 13:09 |
| slipttees | very simple :D | 13:09 |
| slipttees | easy | 13:09 |

| Dr_Willis | LeFF: sounds like somthig dident get installed right, Ive rarely had grub issues. | 13:09 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: :) | 13:09 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: I've seen files like that from my girlfriends pics that are in thailand caricters that I wasn't setup to view. I think they are like that | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | LeFF: did you install from cd? or a flash drive> | 13:10 |
| jahrra | nilsma, if you type 'lsusb' in a commandline, what does it say? is you nic listed there? | 13:10 |
| vsilverlord | i have problems with ubuntu, ubuntu is lagging | 13:10 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: no I must be wrong, why would it still be readable at the end of the file name? | 13:11 |
| vsilverlord | everytime i start a new search in google the screen is frozen for 15 sec | 13:11 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: But I have no foreign characters in those folders. I am very sure about that. | 13:11 |
| vsilverlord | i saw in system monitor that the CPU is at 100% | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | zagabar: i would fsck the filesystem from a lve cd - if thats the case. | 13:11 |
| nilsma | jahrra, yes, its listed and "ndiswrapper -l" lists the driver as installed | 13:11 |
| aeon-ltd | vsilverlord: screen shot please | 13:11 |
| sacarlson | zagabar: dr_willis: that's a good idea | 13:12 |
| slipttees | rs0832: ubuntu 10.10 is perfect, congratulations to those involved. Can't wait to get ubuntu 11:04 LTS :D | 13:12 |
| zagabar | sacarlson: also, shouldn't chmod 666 -R give read/write rights for everyone? Even more so if I do a chown zagabar -R? | 13:12 |
| rs0832 | slipttees: :) great | 13:12 |
| nilsma | jahrra, iwconfig lists lo, eth0, eht1 and vboxnet0 | 13:12 |
| zagabar | Dr_Willis: sigh, I guess I could but I hate having to shut down the server. xD Can't I do it from this system if I unmount /home? | 13:12 |
| slipttees | 11.04 LTS, dan, 11.10 rigth? | 13:13 |
| nilsma | jahrra, iwconfig lists lo, eth0, eht1 and vboxnet0 * and all with "no wireless extensions" | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | zagabar: that would work also | 13:13 |

| mongy | JoshDreamland, oh sorry, yeah, 64bit isnt. | 13:39 |
| JoshDreamland | Oh, that's what you meant | 13:39 |
| mongy | JoshDreamland, have to get 32bit and force it | 13:39 |
| mongy | JoshDreamland, using the deb. | 13:39 |
| JoshDreamland | I was thinking you'd be hard pressed to find a ROM of 32-bit or more :P | 13:39 |
| JoshDreamland | Forget it; I'll just try to find info on why none of the emulators offered on 64bit can offer both controller config and screen size. | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | snes = 8 bit machine i thought.. or was it 16 bit.. i forget... | 13:40 |
| JoshDreamland | 16, I believe, Dr_Willis | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | JoshDreamland: snes9x has confif files you can edit manually, and command line options | 13:40 |
| MACscr | im running lucid and supposedly im missing libperl5.10, but im running perl 5.10. Any recommendations on how i resolve this? | 13:40 |
| JoshDreamland | FCE Ultra doesn't offer a way to resize the screen, and if you go fullscreen, you can never, ever go back (without deleting its config files) | 13:40 |
| JoshDreamland | Not to mention it freezes and dies when you try | 13:40 |

| nilsma | jahrra, sorry i was afk, thanks for your help mate :) | 13:41 |
| JoshDreamland | SNES 9x offers a variety of sizes, but I can't set controls at all... | 13:41 |
| MACscr | lol, nvm | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | I just set mine to use the keyboard here JoshDreamland - i dont have a gamepad handy | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | JoshDreamland: you are sure the gamepad is seen properly? theres some js testign tools in the repos. | 13:41 |
| cablop | i upgraded mykernel and now i don't have graphics... how can i get to load the default safe graphics mode? | 13:42 |
| JoshDreamland | Dr_Willis: that's the issue. I can't use the keyboard, either. | 13:42 |
| mongy | JoshDreamland, http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/z/zsnes/zsnes_1.510-2.2ubuntu4_i386.deb | 13:42 |
| JoshDreamland | None of the buttons on anything do anything | 13:42 |
| cablop | i was looking at google, but it just points to the old way in ubuntu, nothing about lucid or maverick | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | JoshDreamland: so you want to the settings dialog and set up the keyboard to be what you wanted first? | 13:42 |
| JoshDreamland | mongy: I don't want to try to force it | 13:42 |
| mongy | JoshDreamland, sudo dpkg --force-all -i | 13:42 |
| JoshDreamland | Dr_Willis: Can't find a settings dialog for input. | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Options -> perferances -> joypad. select teh first entry. seledt up arrow, then left, right, and so on | 13:43 |
| mongy | JoshDreamland, why.. as long as you have ia32-libs installed it runs fine... | 13:43 |
| cablop | how can i load safe graphics mode in maverick? | 13:43 |
| JoshDreamland | Ahahahaha | 13:43 |
| JoshDreamland | That's insane | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | JoshDreamland: err.. i found it rather trivial and straight forward. | 13:44 |
| JoshDreamland | So the Controller Ports is a convenience thing | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | what 'controler ports' ? | 13:44 |
| cablop | how can i load safe graphics mode in maverick? | 13:45 |
| mongy | cablop, from grub menu , press (ii think its) F5 or F6 and choose safe gfx | 13:47 |
| cablop | mongy, thanks, let me check it | 13:47 |
| mongy | cablop, sorry Im talkin about installing | 13:47 |

| bonez2046 | If I type wrong password at gdm LOGIN, it takes several minutes before the dialogue clears to let me try the correct passwd to log in. Is there any way to change the timeout for login? | 13:48 |
| mongy | cablop, choose recovery mode from grub and when you get a menu, choose failsafe X | 13:48 |
| bonez2046 | this is on Ubuntu 10.04 | 13:48 |
| mountained | i want to edit my grub but there isnt a menu.lst | 13:48 |
| rs0832 | mountained: it is grub.cfg | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | mountained | 13:49 |
| ubottu | mountained: 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 | 13:49 |
| rs0832 | mountained: if you have grub 2 | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mountained: and you dont edit grub.cfg by hand. edit the proper /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ files and sudo update-grub | 13:49 |
| cablop | thanks mongy i'll try, i just need to be able to enable the repo nvidia drivers, i was using the old nvidia ones, but it is a pain cause i can't use any old kernel | 13:49 |
| stefanos | hello, I plug in my ethernet cable and my laptop doesnt "see" it, what should I do? my laptop is Acer aspire 5820T | 13:49 |

| mountained | rs0832 yes i did | 13:52 |
| mountained | rs0832 i opened the config right now but seams verry complicated | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | mountained: i dont understand why you want to edit grub - when you have no ubuntu? or am i missing somthing. | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mountained: you can edit the grub menus from the grub menu/boot menu. hit 'e' to make changes as needed. | 13:53 |
| mountained | Dr_Willis i just installed arch linux as another os but it isnt in my grub | 13:53 |
| rs0832 | mountained: do you have ubuntu installed? what are you trying to do? | 13:53 |
| staszek20 | i looking for interesting book about unix/linux | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mountained: so you can or can not boot into ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| cablop | ok... my ubuntu can't run in failsafex mode.... what can i do? | 13:54 |
| craigbass1976 | how come /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't really go through all the motions. I remember on RH type systems it did. With Ubuntu I've got to dhclient as well to really restart the network | 13:54 |
| mountained | Dr_Willis i can try but i deleteted the swap partition during the install | 13:54 |
| rs0832 | staszek20: what kind of a book? to learn it or an advanced one? | 13:54 |
| zamba | when installing ubuntu you get presented with the choice of encrypting your home directory.. what does it use for this? i want to just encrypt portions of my home directory afterwards/manually.. how is that done? | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mountained: boot a live cd. edit the etc/fstab and comment out the swap entry - if thats keeping it from booting. | 13:54 |
| mountained | Dr_Willis thx i ll try | 13:55 |
| staszek20 | to learn | 13:55 |
| erUSUL | zamba: ecryptfs | 13:55 |

| fritzfridolin_ | does anyone use the ati x1900gt graphics card? i cant find a working driver | 13:56 |
| erUSUL | craigbass1976: in ubuntu is network manager what controls all the networking by default | 13:56 |
| zamba | erUSUL: can this be used for a server installation as well? | 13:57 |
| zamba | erUSUL: and not a desktop? | 13:57 |
| ChipAndFamily | I'm running Ubuntu Linux 10.xx, 64 bit. I'm having problems with my dual monitors. Anyone else having issues like this? | 13:57 |
| kmck | Ok, so i've had Ubuntu installed on my laptop since it was in V9.(i don't remember the rest haha) but i've now obviously upgraded to 10.10 when it was released... after I upgraded to 10.10, two very strange things happened. 1) I no long can use the microphone built into my laptop that I could use before, and 2) whenever I try in anyway to shutdown the computer it just restarts? I'm very confused.. | 13:58 |
| craigbass1976 | erUSUL, so /etc/init.d/network-manager restart will totally be like reboting as far as the network interfaces are concerned? | 13:58 |
| erUSUL | zamba: i do not see why not. probably automating the mountng on login would be differen | 13:58 |
| Stava | So I cant connect to the wireless or wired network. I'm able to scan for wireless though, so the network card(s) are recognized and drivers are loaded for them | 13:58 |
| erUSUL | craigbass1976: may be. configuration wise. | 13:59 |

| ldiamond | aeon-ltd, any easy way to switch from Ubuntu to any of these without reinstall? | 15:16 |
| aeon-ltd | ldiamond: install 'lubuntu-desktop' or 'xubuntu-desktop' | 15:17 |
| aeon-ltd | ldiamond: then log out and change the session | 15:17 |
| ldiamond | aeon-ltd, and I suppose remove ubuntu-desktop? | 15:17 |
| aeon-ltd | ldiamond: if you don't plan on going back, then yes | 15:17 |
| ldiamond | thanks, will give it a shot | 15:17 |
| lastchance | so i this might be dumb but im new is fat 16 a must have cause my usb tool said only fat32 ? | 15:18 |
| rigved | ldiamond: removing ubuntu-desktop will not remove gnome | 15:18 |

| ldiamond | Fastest and easiest for non-techy | 15:20 |
| rs0832 | rigved: is it possible to save an hd whose superblock is damaged? | 15:20 |
| rigved | ldiamond: these are outdated but you can remove the non-existing packages and then run the command | 15:20 |
| aeon-ltd | ldiamond: personally, if you've got an hour, just start again from minimal to get the lightest possible install, i'd reccommend lxde | 15:20 |

| lambda_x | guodaoyi: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 15:22 |
| ldiamond | rigved, so start from minimal installation of ubuntu and install lubuntu? or download lubuntu straight? | 15:22 |
| rs0832 | kmck: are you there? | 15:22 |
| rigved | ldiamond: download lubuntu if you don't know what you are doing. or if you are experienced enough to know what you need, then minimal install | 15:23 |
| ldiamond | Well, I'm experienced with Linux, but not distro specific stuff. So I'll go with the normal install I guess. | 15:24 |
| ldiamond | Thanks | 15:24 |

| adminewb1 | nuisance on an installation of lucid: some time ago I installed package dnsmasq and later removed it completely, but the system still logs failures to start dhcpd (not setup for any net interfaces); how should I disable this unwanted service? | 15:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | lastchance, DON'T use FAT16 - use FAT32 | 15:44 |
| Drek010 | thanks | 15:45 |
| lastchance | lol okie i thought fat 32 would work cause it says in the pendrivelinux installer prgram but i cant get it to boot through bios i have like 3 options for usb | 15:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | lastchance, oh for a pendrivelinux i'm not sure, but generally you would want fat32 | 15:46 |
| svchost | god, people update software too often on linux | 15:46 |
| svchost | its outrageous | 15:46 |
| rs0832 | xissburg: if you still need it, copy and paste the text in the link in gedit and save as jdk.sh and then run in terminal... http://paste.ubuntu.com/547258/ | 15:46 |
| maucat | 睡吧 | 15:47 |
| lastchance | k well still which bios setting do i use cause it says usb boot but like 3 um USB-FDD USB-CD AND i forget the last one. | 15:47 |
| m4xx | when i try to drop to console, i log in, then it gives me another login prompt | 15:47 |
| aeon-ltd | !cn | maucat | 15:47 |
| ubottu | maucat: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 15:47 |
| m4xx | everything was fine before i rebooted | 15:47 |
| adminewb1 | lastchance, those two you give are probably floppy & CDROM drives, which won't get you your flash drive | 15:48 |
| lastchance | oh well whats the standard for usb flash drive boot then ? | 15:48 |
| sacarlson | lastchance: I think it's the last one like usb-hd | 15:49 |
| mongy | lastchance, one of the options is probably usb-hdd, which should boot it | 15:49 |
| IdleOne | lastchance: probably usb-hdd | 15:49 |
| Jamesis | ZykoticK9: sry to bother u but did u have any suggestion? | 15:49 |
| lastchance | k thanks ill try that. | 15:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jamesis, sorry no - don't have a clue. | 15:49 |
| Jamesis | ZykoticK9: okay thanks anyway | 15:50 |
| Jamesis | ZykoticK9: hehe I think I fixed the issue now :) I tested a extension plug to the microphone and it worked :) | 15:51 |
| adminewb1 | nuisance on a lucid installation: after completely removing package dnsmasq, the system still logs failures to start dhcpd (not setup for any net interfaces); how should I disable this unwanted service? | 15:51 |
| chaos2358 | whats the terminal command to update a specific program? | 15:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jamesis, lol - always start with the basics, in this case connections ;) Glad you fixed it. | 15:51 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: usually sudo apt-get upgrade packagename | 15:51 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, thank you. dude do you ever sleep? | 15:52 |
| IdleOne | ha | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: or.. you ca use synaptic... find the program, right click it and choose "mark for upgrade".. if it has an upgrade available, it will insall | 15:52 |
| wyclif | chaos2358: sudo apt-get update [program] | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: lol, every so often, been on vacation a week or two, so i've been bored. | 15:52 |
| Zeti | hi | 15:52 |
| aeon-ltd | chaos2358: why not just update everything? to save time in the long term | 15:52 |
| Jamesis | ZykoticK9: yeah well it was really weird that I needed that :) | 15:52 |
| maucat | .. | 15:53 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, ok gotcha | 15:53 |
| Jamesis | ZykoticK9: got any tips on noise removal tools? | 15:53 |
| chaos2358 | aeon-ltd, because im trying to fix an issue with a certain program. | 15:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jamesis, nope sorry | 15:53 |
| Zeti | in the kdm.log I get the error "Can not get ibus-daemon's address" shortly before the EOF | 15:53 |
| Zeti | could this be the reason that I only see a black screen which doesn't react to keyboard and mouse? | 15:53 |
| chaos2358 | aeon-ltd, i generally update everything every other week but im troubleshooting my minidlna | 15:53 |
| adminewb1 | nuisance on a lucid installation: after completely removing package dnsmasq, the system still logs failures to start dhcpd (not setup for any net interfaces); how should I disable this unwanted service? ideas what channel would better cover this? | 15:54 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, i guess i cant really say much im online most days myself | 15:54 |
| KM0201 | KM0201: it's cold, there's a foot of snow o the ground... no thanks.. i like the cold, snow.. no thanks | 15:54 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: if the screen goes black always try <ctl><alt>+f1 | 15:55 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, if you are talking to yourself in irc its time for sleep dude | 15:55 |
| KM0201 | KM0201: no.. outside, thats why i'm not going outside..lol | 15:55 |
| noonian | lol | 15:55 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, doesn't work (believe me I tried it everytime before hard-resetting my notebook) | 15:55 |
| KM0201 | oh wait, i did talk to myself | 15:55 |
| KM0201 | lol | 15:55 |
| rs0832 | :) | 15:55 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, twice now | 15:55 |
| KM0201 | thats a good zinger | 15:55 |
| Zeti | whatever it's doing | 15:55 |
| Zeti | I have no clue | 15:55 |
| OY1R | ahhh finally. | 15:56 |
| sacarlson | zeti: it's broke | 15:56 |
| OY1R | internal and usb soundcard finally work as i want them to. | 15:56 |
| LinuxGold | what is apt command to use to reinstall pacakage that also recover the deleted files i.e. /etc/samba/* ? | 15:56 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, how can I reinstall the GUI? | 15:56 |
| adminewb1 | nuisance on a lucid installation: after completely removing package dnsmasq, the system still logs failures to start dhcpd (not setup for any net interfaces); how should I disable this unwanted service? ideas what channel would better cover this? | 15:56 |
| iszak | Ubuntu multi-monitor bug makes me cry :( | 15:56 |
| KM0201 | LinuxGold: i believe you'd want to purge it. | 15:56 |
| flhpi54 | any suggestins for a resource on chat room commands like how to turn off the information like people joining and exiting? | 15:56 |
| KM0201 | LinuxGold: if i'm not mistaken, that will purge all settings, and make it like a new install | 15:57 |
| LinuxGold | km0201: remove with purge then reinstall? | 15:57 |
| sacarlson | zeti: at this point you need to live cd boot, not sure what you did to break it try setup older kernel if that's on option | 15:57 |
| IdleOne | flhpi54: what client? | 15:57 |
| KM0201 | LinuxGold: sudo apt-get purge packagename | 15:57 |
| rs0832 | flhpi54: irchelp.org | 15:57 |
| LinuxGold | ok | 15:57 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, last night you were saying you used something similar to minidlna correct? | 15:57 |
| flhpi54 | thanks | 15:57 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, I can reach the console via recovery mode | 15:57 |
| Zeti | does that help? | 15:57 |
| rs0832 | flhpi54: or check the manual /docs for your client | 15:57 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: no... i was saying i use samba to do what you apparently use minidlna for. | 15:58 |
| LinuxGold | km0201: done that, didn't recover /etc/samba/* files | 15:58 |
| Zeti | (that's how I access the kdm.log) | 15:58 |
| LinuxGold | ahem | 15:58 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: if you run propriatary then this would be the time to try to disable it | 15:58 |
| chaos2358 | what is samba? | 15:58 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, you mean the graphic card driver? | 15:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | adminewb1, do you see a dhcpd.conf (or similar) in /etc/init? If so you might want to mv that file to something like dhcpd.conf.disabled | 15:58 |
| sacarlson | zeti: I mean video | 15:58 |
| Zeti | sec | 15:58 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, what is samba? | 15:58 |
| KM0201 | !samba | chaos2358 | 15:58 |
| ubottu | chaos2358: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 15:58 |
| adminewb1 | ZykoticK9 thanks | 15:58 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: i jsut set up shared folders w/ samba, | 15:59 |
| dvanstone | !fsck | 15:59 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 15:59 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, and that shares it over the network to other devices? | 15:59 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: that makes it where i can access any files on a "samba share".. from any pc on my network. | 15:59 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, what about other devices like my little brothers psp or my androids | 16:00 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, xorg.conf is empty and /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d doesn't specify a graphics card driver | 16:00 |
| adminewb1 | ZykoticK9 there's an /etc/init/networking.conf which is pretty bare bones looking | 16:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | adminewb1, that's not it! sorry if you don't have an obvious dhcpd.conf then i'm not sure. best of luck. | 16:00 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: well, it all depends, i'm not familiar w/ androids and PSP's.. but... what i usually do, is keep all my music, videos, etc.. then I have one windows machine(well, dual boot machine)... and i have the zune s/w and itunes, set to sync off the samba share.... | 16:00 |
| sacarlson | zeti: well that must mean you didn't install any propriatary then, try an older kernel boot | 16:00 |
| KM0201 | just make sure the folder where i keep all my music, videos, etc.. is set to be shared. | 16:01 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, the last time i set it up "the exact same way i did it this time" it worked flawlessly but this time depending on the order in which i put the (music,pics,and vids) destination in the .config either it will load all my music and nothing else or it will load my pics and vids but not the music | 16:02 |
| LinuxGold | [2010/12/24 10:58:28.494665, 1] ../lib/util/params.c:513(OpenConfFile) | 16:02 |
| LinuxGold | params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf": | 16:02 |
| LinuxGold | *mutters* | 16:02 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, any preferences: 32-27 (current), 31-22, 28-19, 28-15 and 28-11? | 16:02 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: whatever worked last | 16:02 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: i'm not sure if the PSP has SMB suppot. | 16:02 |
| KM0201 | *support | 16:02 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, difficult question, I'll try all then | 16:02 |
| chaos2358 | KM0201, the fact that i have over 10,000 mp3 files. 14,000 pics, and about 50 full length movies. | 16:03 |
| adminewb1 | ZykoticK9, there's a script /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server, would it be ok to rename that? | 16:03 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: kernels are try before you buy so you can always pick another in grub | 16:03 |
| chaos2358 | 1 sec brb. | 16:03 |
| KM0201 | chaos2358: well, i don't have near that many pics, but we're close on mp3's and movies. | 16:03 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, I just did a do-realease-upgrade | 16:03 |
| iszak | Okay, so not sure if people notice me in and out, trying a few things to fix my monitor but my GOD why does ubuntu screw up just because of a simple power out. | 16:03 |
| Zeti | with 31-22 already apparmor doesn't load | 16:03 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: I assume that mean all older kernel are still installed | 16:04 |
| iszak | It's not like I was editing X11 configs before or installed any updates, why would it all of a sudden just crap itself. | 16:04 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, yeah | 16:04 |
| sacarlson | zeti: boot the version number bellow you present default | 16:04 |
| iszak | I just don't get it, I edit the config to support the resolution, I reset the config, I reset ATI config, nothing works. | 16:04 |
| Zeti | 31-22 | 16:04 |
| Zeti | already booted | 16:04 |
| Zeti | sec just starting kdm | 16:05 |
| Zeti | looking good | 16:05 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: set that as default | 16:05 |
| iszak | This is not how I planned spending Christmas day trying to fix Ubuntu. | 16:05 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, what's your diagnosis? | 16:05 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: newer is not always better | 16:05 |
| Zeti | is my notebook too old for the newer kernels? | 16:06 |
| sacarlson | zeti: no sometimes you need to skip some versions | 16:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | Question 1 - is there a way to disable a second monitor from command line using TwinView? Question 2 - does anyone know the required packages to get Bluetooth audio working with Pulse (i'm using a minimal install and the BT Audio support is not there by default) | 16:06 |
| sacarlson | zeti: or compile your own setup for what you have in hardware | 16:06 |
| adminewb1 | ZykoticK9 hmm now it emerges there's an /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, almost all commented out, came with the dnsmasq package I expect | 16:07 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, coming from gentoo I already considered this :-P | 16:07 |
| iszak | Back to Windows it is. | 16:07 |
| sacarlson | Zeti: import your gentoo kernel should be way newer | 16:07 |
| quiescens | adminewb1: dnsmasq likely Is your dhcpd | 16:08 |
| quiescens | or was | 16:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | adminewb1, it might have - but i doubt that is what is trying to start dhcpd... sorry you need someone more knowledgeable with your problem then me. Best of luck. | 16:08 |
| adminewb1 | quiescens right | 16:08 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, http://gentoo-portage.com/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources | 16:09 |
| Zeti | thanks for your input | 16:09 |
| sacarlson | zeti: but my mato if it aint broke don't fix it, uless you see some feature you know you are missing or security that needs to be fixed, why try it | 16:09 |
| francesco_ | Hi guys! I have a problem. Since i installed Ubuntu 10.04, I can't hear the audio from Youtube. Can you suggest me anything? | 16:09 |
| adminewb1 | quiescens so if I rename /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf to a backup name, would that take care of logging bogus failures? | 16:09 |
| Zeti | atm logging in fails | 16:09 |
| Zeti | but at least I see the dialog | 16:09 |
| quiescens | adminewb1: um, sorry, anyway the traditional way to fully remove something is to sudo apt-get --purge remove (package) but you've already removed it normally, you can either install it and then purge it using that command | 16:09 |
| adminewb1 | quiescens I did the remove-completely option in synaptic, same thing afaik | 16:10 |
| LinuxGold | where should smb.conf be located by default? | 16:10 |
| quiescens | adminewb1: okay, one thing to check is that it also purged dnsmasq-base | 16:11 |
| adminewb1 | quiescens if I recall, the base package didn't allow complete removal, as if it never was installed... ? | 16:12 |
| quiescens | adminewb1: failing that, just remove /etc/init.d/dnsmasq | 16:12 |
| sacarlson | zeti: I have version already compiled 2.6.37-rc4 from kernel.org and never installed it just so I know I can compile it. | 16:12 |
| zamba | how do i get sound working out of the box with ubuntu? | 16:13 |
| alexander | hey guys when i run firefox in ubunut it's way slower than in windows anyone know why? | 16:13 |
| quiescens | adminewb1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/dnsmasq/filelist | 16:13 |
| zamba | (this is not a desktop installation) | 16:13 |
| adminewb1 | quiescens hmm there is no /etc/init.d/dnsmasq, only dhcp3-server | 16:13 |
| zamba | i need sound working on a server installation of ubuntu.. i have installed alsa-utils.. | 16:13 |
| adminewb1 | i'm using lucid not maverick | 16:13 |
| sacarlson | zeti: you want to try that? it's in deb format | 16:13 |
| Zeti | my kdm is loading :-) | 16:14 |
| Zeti | but I think I'll stick witht he working version for now | 16:14 |
| quiescens | adminewb1: lucid seems the same http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/dnsmasq/filelist | 16:14 |
| sacarlson | zeti: good move | 16:15 |
| alexander | is ubuntu slower than windows in general? | 16:15 |
| iszak | depends. | 16:15 |
| LinuxGold | which package have smb.conf? | 16:15 |
| noonian | alexander, no | 16:15 |
| iszak | alexander, if I were going to get ubuntu, don't get 10.10, get 10.04. | 16:15 |
| iszak | 10.10 is buggy | 16:15 |
| quiescens | might be, might not be, slower is hard to quantify | 16:16 |
| adminewb1 | yes looking at the lucid file list, just wanted you to be aware what release I'm on | 16:16 |
| alexander | i already have 10.10 :( | 16:16 |
| System_Default_0 | alexander: How can you ask that. Of course not. | 16:16 |
| noonian | i like 10.10 it fixed some bugs for me | 16:16 |
| sacarlson | zeti: just remember not all kernel work on your hardware, they are just there to try, if fail return to last working. | 16:16 |
| iszak | alexander, I'm actually deleting my ubuntu partition tonight, on christmas day because it broke. | 16:16 |
| alexander | System_Default_0: well firefox seemed slower and it's the only thing i've used. but i forgot my dad said he had some trouble with the router so maybe it's the connection | 16:16 |
| System_Default_0 | Oh, I didn't know. | 16:16 |
| iszak | noonian, I don't, it broke things for me. | 16:16 |
| alexander | iszak: because it was 10.10? :( is there a page where there are known bugs i can avoid? | 16:17 |
| jrib | iszak: do you want help fixing it? What exactly does "broke" mean? | 16:17 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, yeah, the notebook is pretty old | 16:17 |
| iszak | jrib, can you fix the logging me out instead of shutting down or restarting bug? | 16:17 |
| Zeti | so I guess the default settings don't cover it anymore | 16:17 |
| iszak | supposedly it's been in ubuntu for a few versions and does so because of apps open. | 16:17 |
| jrib | iszak: what's the bug number? | 16:18 |
| iszak | jrib, no idea. | 16:18 |
| sacarlson | alexander: there are thousands of bugs that are documented, you will never miss all of them | 16:18 |
| System_Default_0 | alexander: Yeah, that's possible. But remember Ubuntu is one of the best OS. | 16:18 |
| iszak | so now I have to restart by typing sudo shutdown -n now IIRC | 16:18 |
| jrib | iszak: then how can you make that statement... | 16:18 |
| iszak | not restart, shutdown. | 16:18 |
| alexander | is there a hotkey to open the terminal | 16:18 |
| jrib | alexander: not by default | 16:18 |

| sacarlson | zeti: ya the software supports sometimes moves to the new, your old stuf may of had the best it will ever see | 16:19 |
| iszak | alexander, I use tilda, check it out. | 16:19 |
| jrib | iszak: does the issue persist with a freshly created new user? | 16:20 |
| adminewb1 | quiescens looks like I have dhcp3-server package installed, I'll try complete removal on that | 16:20 |
| alexander | iszak, i hit tilda on my keyboard nothing happened | 16:20 |
| iszak | jrib, no idea, i haven't tried, but that's just one of the bugs I've encountered. | 16:20 |
| iszak | alexander, no no, it's a program. | 16:20 |
| jrib | iszak: I'm telling you to try so we can troubleshoot | 16:20 |
| iszak | alexander, it basically aliases a key(s) to dropdown a tilda. | 16:20 |
| sacarlson | System_Default_0: If it wasn't the best I wouldn't be here | 16:20 |
| iszak | jrib, that problem is the least of my worries, if you want to help me, help me get one of my monitors to display the right resolution. | 16:20 |

| Nickleworth | Hello I just installed Ubuntu Internet Security 2010 and I am wondering how I can make it disinfect my windows installation that is also on my computer | 16:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | Nickleworth, "Ubuntu Internet Security 2010" really? | 16:22 |
| Nickleworth | yes | 16:22 |
| Nickleworth | how do i make it scan my windows | 16:22 |
| Nickleworth | and ubuntu | 16:23 |
| jrib | Nickleworth: where did you get Ubuntu Internet Security 2010? | 16:23 |
| Nickleworth | a friend recommended it | 16:23 |
| nbca | exit | 16:23 |
| Nickleworth | gave me a download with free trial | 16:23 |
| jrib | Nickleworth: /where/? | 16:23 |
| iszak | jrib, I edited xorg to add the resolution i want, and restarted, didn't work. | 16:23 |
| jrib | iszak: pastebin your xorg.conf | 16:23 |
| Nickleworth | i don't know. he just linked me | 16:23 |

| rs0832 | Nickleworth: can you tell ys the link? | 16:23 |
| Nickleworth | my firefox clears the data | 16:24 |
| quiescens | of course not, giving you a link would make it harder to troll | 16:24 |
| Nickleworth | i would have to ask my friend later i guess | 16:24 |
| iszak | jrib, http://pastebin.com/BvCNp3qp | 16:24 |

| Nickleworth | no no. my win 7 is just home premium legit. i just want a software that can scan it and ubuntu lets me do this safely i thought | 16:25 |
| iszak | Jragon, DFP1 is the problem | 16:25 |
| iszak | jrib, ** sorry | 16:25 |

| Nickleworth | oh | 16:26 |
| Nickleworth | one sec i will give you screen grab | 16:26 |
| Zeti | Nickleworth, I use http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus for windows | 16:26 |
| Zeti | completely free | 16:26 |
| iszak | jrib, Let me tell you a little about my setup, I have 3 x 23" Samsung P2370's two of which are on the DVI and one is on a mini display port (active) to DVI ,that is the that one I'm having problems with. | 16:27 |
| sacarlson | Nickleworth: I see my friends still devoting 80% of there cpu and bandwidth just to support securtity. it's just not worth it | 16:27 |
| Zeti | sacarlson, antivir uses 0% cpu and 1.4MB RAM | 16:27 |
| Zeti | that's one reason I like it | 16:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeti, if it uses 0% cpu it's not doing anything :p | 16:28 |
| jrib | iszak: there are other suggestions on that wiki page from ubottu, what happens when you try them? | 16:28 |
| LinuxGold | *grumbles* | 16:28 |
| quiescens | which it really shouldn't be, unless you're doing something that would cause it to | 16:28 |
| Zeti | Zeti, or it was rounded to 0 | 16:28 |
| sacarlson | zeti: ya that's what I use 0% here, I'm a isp and I see alot of my bandwidth used for windows getting updated viruse updates | 16:28 |

| A4_322 | hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 64 bit from the live CD | 16:29 |
| A4_322 | but it's not recognizing my windows partitions | 16:29 |
| Gilos | can anyone recommend a DLNA server that works well with Ubuntu and samsung? | 16:29 |
| jrib | iszak: whatever works :) I have no experience with the setup you described, so we just have to try and see. This mini display port by the way is still from your ati card? | 16:29 |
| A4_322 | it treats it like an empty 2 TB drive | 16:29 |
| Zeti | sysop1, of course | 16:29 |
| Zeti | unless you are using encryption | 16:29 |
| iszak | jrib, yeah. | 16:29 |
| iszak | HD 5970 two DVI, one mini display port. | 16:30 |

| A4_322 | what should I do? is there a way to configure it to find those windows partitions? | 16:30 |
| jrib | iszak: also, do you know if ati provides some special program to configure things? I know nvidia does | 16:31 |
| A4_322 | or should I just buy another hard drive for linux... | 16:31 |
| System_Default_0 | Zeti: Define. | 16:31 |
| iszak | jrib, it does of which I tried to use to solve with no luck, it's called ATI Catalyst Control Center. | 16:31 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: no you can mount your windows partitions, normaly they are visible in places | 16:31 |
| jrib | iszak: ah | 16:31 |
| A4_322 | this is when I'm installing it... | 16:32 |
| A4_322 | Is it just ok that it doesn't notice the windows partitions? | 16:32 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: the one just right of Applications,,,Places | 16:32 |
| LinuxGold | AHA! | 16:32 |
| LinuxGold | samba-common was the package that held smb.conf | 16:32 |
| muskie | Hey guys. | 16:32 |
| LinuxGold | thanks all! | 16:32 |
| iszak | jrib, made some amendments, trying it out, if not rm -fr /media/ubuntu/ | 16:32 |
| iszak | thanks for your willingness to help though. | 16:32 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: oh at install just make sure you don't write over your windows partitions | 16:33 |
| muskie | Hoo boy. got a ticker of a problem for you guys, lol | 16:33 |
| jrib | iszak: keep in mind these are issues with ati's driver :) But of course you have to have some things work regardless of whose fault it is | 16:33 |
| iszak | jrib, nothing to do with ATI Drivers, it was working before.. | 16:33 |
| iszak | then power goes out, boots back up - hey presto! monitor not working. | 16:33 |
| jrib | iszak: before what? | 16:34 |
| iszak | jrib, ^ | 16:34 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - it doesn't show my windows partitions, though | 16:34 |
| jrib | iszak: you fsck the drive? | 16:34 |
| muskie | I've got a RAID array i'm trying to access, but the Video card in the system is fooked (ancient card, the RAM's damaged), so I can't actually get into X to set it all up. | 16:34 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - the installer just shows the whole drive as being empty | 16:34 |
| A4_322 | (i.e., unpartitioned)) | 16:34 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: you said at boot, wait till it's installed and tell me that | 16:34 |
| iszak | jrib, no. | 16:35 |
| muskie | What i'm wanting to do is launch a remote X session on my laptop here. can anyone help me set that up? | 16:35 |
| System_Default_0 | Zeti: May you tell me that command again? | 16:35 |
| jrib | iszak: you should see what the result of that is | 16:35 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: opps you said at install not at boot, tell me after it's installed if you don't see them | 16:35 |
| iszak | after | 16:35 |
| Zeti | System_Default_0, for using encryption? | 16:35 |
| A4_322 | so... I should install it on the hard drive even though it's NOT recognizing my already installed windows partitions? | 16:35 |
| kcorcoran_ | i need to uninstall an application; what is the best approach? i used this guide to install. - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 | 16:35 |
| muskie | kcorcoran_, apt-get uninstall? | 16:35 |
| System_Default_0 | Zeti: I think. | 16:35 |
| rs0832 | kcorcoran_: use synaptic | 16:36 |
| kcorcoran_ | muskie: can you elaborate, still pretty new | 16:36 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ubuntu won't install on a partition that already has something on it unless you tell it to, so if something is there it will see it | 16:36 |
| muskie | or yeah, use Synaptic if you have X access | 16:36 |
| jrib | kcorcoran_: so you compiled things? (./configure, make, make install)? | 16:36 |
| kcorcoran_ | rs0832: i didn't use synaptic to install these apps...does that matteR? | 16:36 |
| kcorcoran_ | jrib: yes | 16:36 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - it's not seeing my partition table... | 16:37 |
| rs0832 | kcorcoran_: how did you install them then? | 16:37 |
| jrib | kcorcoran_: ah no, the guide seems to use checkinstall which means you should have packages in synaptic you can remove | 16:37 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - that I made in the windows XP setup | 16:37 |
| iszak | kcorcoran_, yes it does matter as it means you have to work that into your update cycle. | 16:37 |
| A4_322 | erm, windows 7 setup, I mean | 16:37 |
| muskie | kcorcoran_, Doesen't matter, synaptic is a frontend for apt-get basically | 16:37 |
| kcorcoran_ | jrib: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 | 16:37 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: oh are you using wubi? | 16:37 |
| iszak | reboot time | 16:37 |
| kcorcoran_ | i followed that guide | 16:37 |
| === JesusCristo is now known as naxoxota-e-Gosto | ||
| A4_322 | sacarlson - wubi? I'm not sure, I just put the live cd in the drive | 16:37 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: were you running windows when you installed the live cd? | 16:38 |
| kcorcoran_ | so how should i uninstall? | 16:38 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - no, I restarted and booted off of it | 16:38 |
| muskie | Anyway. Does anyone have any Experience with Remote X connections? | 16:38 |

| cheesekiller | hi all | 16:39 |
| A4_322 | hi | 16:39 |
| LinuxGold | bbl | 16:39 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok at what point then do you think it didn't see windows partitions, are you in gparted yet? | 16:39 |
| kcorcoran_ | ah, perfect. thank you | 16:39 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - I'm in ubuntu setup, and when I tried to select where to install the OS, it didn't detect any partitions, I'm not sure if it's gparted | 16:40 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: you just runing the try now version? | 16:40 |
| cheesekiller | question... when 11.04 comes out is it really going to be all unity like netbook 10.10? | 16:40 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - no, I'm trying to install it | 16:40 |
| muskie | Have a rig i'm trying to get some Data off, but the video card is fooked on the system. Can anyone tell me how to remotely launch X on my laptop here? | 16:40 |
| muskie | Cheesekiller: why the heck would that be the case? Unity doesn't really work on desktop systems | 16:41 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: you mean it didn't detect any available partitions to install on? do you have any free partitions to put it in? | 16:41 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - No, it showed the drive as being completely empty and unpartitioned | 16:41 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: did you install a new empty disk? | 16:41 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - No! I have two windows OSes on it already, I just said that... | 16:42 |
| cheesekiller | yea but I was told they were working on it. and that in 11.04 gnome is going bye bye which would be sad | 16:42 |
| KM0201 | cheesekiller: why would gnome go "bye bye" | 16:43 |
| muskie | cheesekiller, I doubt they'd get rid of GNOME. | 16:43 |
| cheesekiller | just what I heard | 16:43 |
| cheesekiller | I'd cry I'd they did | 16:43 |
| KM0201 | where did you "hear" this... | 16:43 |
| cheesekiller | luls | 16:43 |
| muskie | I doubt that very much. you know, what with Unity being based on GNOME anyway | 16:43 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: can you try boot the try now and pastebin the results of sudo fdisk -l ? so we can verify what you are saying? | 16:43 |
| cheesekiller | off of a forum a couple days ago | 16:43 |
| A4_322 | okay | 16:43 |
| KM0201 | muskie: not to mention, considering Gnome 3 is on the horizon(eventually).... | 16:44 |
| jrib | muskie: don't use X :) | 16:44 |
| delkin | hei! After installing linux i lost the windows MBR. How do I recover it? I have GRUB | 16:44 |
| cheesekiller | just asking to confirm | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | cheesekiller: well, i HIGHLY doubt they'll dump gnome for unity. | 16:44 |
| muskie | Delkin: can you launch into windows using GRUB? | 16:44 |
| cheesekiller | because I hated the netbook interface | 16:44 |
| delkin | muskie, I cant | 16:44 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: wonder what you could have done before install that could have deleted the partitions? | 16:45 |
| KM0201 | cheesekiller: i'm guessing the people who say this, are KDE fans. | 16:45 |
| muskie | jrib: I fail miserably at the commandline. I wouldn't know the broad side of a xorg.conf form a perl script | 16:45 |
| cheesekiller | <-- still. fairly new. btw | 16:45 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: oh also try boot the windows to verify that it's still there | 16:45 |
| jrib | muskie: if you're just transferring data, should be pretty easy to hold your hand | 16:45 |
| muskie | Delkin: usually GRUB is smart enough to let you dual boot when you install it after windows.. :P | 16:45 |
| Steve973 | does anyone know of a locally-hostable file uploader kind of like filedropper.com? | 16:46 |
| muskie | jrib: We're talking about a 12 disk RAID array here XD | 16:46 |
| cheesekiller | I just dumped windows completely like maybe 3 months ago so keep in mind I'm new | 16:46 |
| zamba | how do i capture from alsa on an headless ubuntu server? | 16:46 |
| jrib | muskie: what would you be doing in X? | 16:46 |
| muskie | Steve973, Dropbox? | 16:46 |
| delkin | muskie, that is correct, I had it working well with Ubuntu, but now i have crunchbang... ANy idea? | 16:46 |
| Steve973 | muskie: does that have a web frontend that people can upload to your server? | 16:46 |
| muskie | jrib: Trying to figure out how to mount the drives.. even if I can.. | 16:46 |
| sacarlson | Steve973: like ubuntuone? | 16:46 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - It didn't delete the partitions, they're still there | 16:46 |
| Steve973 | muskie I use dropbox but I'm thinking of something else. | 16:46 |
| delkin | muskie, i also cant fint the menu.lst file. Where should i fint it? | 16:47 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - it shows my partitions fine | 16:47 |
| jrib | muskie: how do you mount them in X? | 16:47 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok so you can still boot windows? | 16:47 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - I didn't change anything | 16:47 |
| cheesekiller | what is the big difference between kde and gnome anyway? | 16:47 |
| muskie | jrib: to be honest, I don't know. I just feel I might be able to find out what's going on easier in a GUI lol | 16:47 |
| Steve973 | qt vs gtk, cheesekiller | 16:47 |
| cheesekiller | I know its probably a dumb question | 16:47 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: what shows your partitons fine? windows? | 16:47 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - ubuntu, running off of the CD | 16:47 |
| muskie | jrib: if you wanna help me try and get these things mounsted in a CLI though, by all means lol | 16:48 |
| cheesekiller | kk? | 16:48 |
| jrib | muskie: heh, well you can launch apps pretty easily (just run "ssh -X" to connect). If you want "full" X, /msg ubottu vnc | 16:48 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ubuntu of live cd boot can see your windows partitons? | 16:48 |
| A4_322 | why didn't setup see the partitions? | 16:48 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson = yes | 16:48 |
| muskie | delkin: I have no clue. sorry.. | 16:48 |
| jrib | muskie: don't know about raid | 16:48 |
| cheesekiller | thanks: ) | 16:48 |
| delkin | muskie, thanks anyway | 16:48 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok and what space do you have to install ubuntu then? | 16:48 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: any unformated space left? | 16:49 |
| muskie | jrib: i'll try and VNC in.. | 16:49 |
| A4_322 | yes, tons | 16:49 |
| A4_322 | more than a TB | 16:49 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: or I should say unpartitioned space left for ubuntu to now install? | 16:49 |
| muskie | does VNC do the rendering serverside or client side? | 16:49 |
| A4_322 | yes | 16:49 |
| A4_322 | more than a TB | 16:49 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: where did the tb come from? I thought there was no new disks | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | but again, it doesn't recognize the partitions, it says I have 2 TB of space on my hard drive, and doesn't mention the windows partitions at all | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson.... | 16:50 |
| muskie | cause, like I said, the video card on the server is faulty, which Is why I need this remote connection in the first place lol | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - please listen this time... | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | it says I have the entire disk empty | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | no partitions | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | the entire 2 TB | 16:50 |
| A4_322 | on setup | 16:50 |
| jrib | muskie: good point | 16:50 |
| FloodBot2 | A4_322: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:50 |
| muskie | jrib: does that mean vnc does it serverside? | 16:51 |
| A4_322 | the live CD, however, recognizes the windows partitions, but setup shows it as all empty space, unless it doesn't normally show partitions? | 16:51 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: oh then you didn't read what I said above, so pastebinit fdisk -l | 16:51 |
| djindy | In Ubuntu 10.04, I'm trying to mount my cd/dvd rom drive as a permanent location, rather than having it mount each disk I insert uniquely, how can I do this? | 16:52 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - fdisk -l returns nothing | 16:52 |
| jrib | muskie: sounds like a stupid way to do it if I was designing vnc. Try and see :) I know ssh -X should work fine for you | 16:53 |
| muskie | what's the proper command for ssh -X anyway | 16:53 |
| jrib | muskie: ssh -X host | 16:53 |
| muskie | Did that. heck, doing that now on term3 | 16:54 |
| harovali | hi, I installed ubuntu 10.10 in a friend's notebook, and everuthing went fine until she plugged her usb stick pendrive: nothing seems to mount when plugging it. | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | you told me at (11:48:19 PM) sacarlson: A4_322: ubuntu of live cd boot can see your windows partitons? your answer was (11:48:28 PM) A4_322: sacarlson = yes, so do you understand your misunderstanding my question? | 16:54 |
| rs0832 | harovali: did you try manually mounting this? | 16:54 |
| noonian | muskie, its just like ssh until you run a program that uses A GUI | 16:54 |
| svchost | my ubuntu virtual machine is fucked up | 16:54 |
| muskie | oooh. okay. | 16:54 |
| svchost | and idk why | 16:54 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - oddly enough, the live CD shows the partitions in the computer | 16:54 |
| svchost | it wont resize to the desktop size | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: pastebinit sudu fdisk -l | 16:54 |

| svchost | idk how to install the vbox guest additions either.. i did it before, but i cant figure out how to do it again | 16:55 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: it always did | 16:55 |
| rs0832 | harovali: sorry, arrive where? or did i miss something? | 16:55 |
| A4_322 | that's why I answered yes | 16:55 |
| A4_322 | because the OS sees them, but for some reason setup doesn't... I'll try that sudi fdisk -l | 16:56 |
| A4_322 | \sudu I mean | 16:56 |
| svchost | can anyone helpe me? | 16:56 |
| rs0832 | svchost: with what? | 16:56 |
| Steve973 | svchost what error is it giving you? | 16:57 |
| svchost | getting ubuntu to work properly in my virtual machine | 16:57 |
| muskie | Okay, tried running gedit, got a "gtk WARNING: Cannot open display" error | 16:57 |
| rs0832 | svchost: whats your host os? | 16:57 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: well you know were to install it so install it were you know there is space, and I asure you will be able to mount and view and monipulate the files in your windows partitons | 16:57 |
| svchost | its not giving me an error.. its not resizing with the window size and i cant figure out how to reinstall guest additions | 16:57 |
| svchost | host os is win7 | 16:57 |
| Steve973 | svchost you have to mount it on your guest within your host | 16:57 |
| Steve973 | and then run it | 16:57 |
| muskie | Oh. Wait a minute.. gah, i'm an idiot | 16:57 |

| Kody | has anyone paired gnome with awesomewm? | 17:03 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: to me that looks like two visable partitions of a 2tb disk, but neather is empty, so you will have to decide what you want to loose to install ubuntu | 17:03 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - it ran the partition table on my flash drive, I'm sorry | 17:03 |
| Steve973 | svchost ok | 17:03 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - wait... it might've run it on both | 17:03 |
| svchost | it says please add exectuion rights | 17:04 |
| svchost | idk what that means | 17:04 |
| KM0201 | svchost: do this.. open a file manager so you can see the .bin file you wat to insall, open a terminal and type sudo sh (hit the space bar oe time) then drag/drop the bin file in the terminal, and it will put the path and filename there for you, then hit enter | 17:04 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - oh, never mind... it worked correctly, that's my hard drive | 17:04 |
| rs0832 | svchost: chmod 755 | 17:04 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes that look like 2tb | 17:04 |
| muskie | allright. anyone know how to enable the universe list in a commandline? | 17:04 |
| svchost | how do i use that rs0832? | 17:04 |
| A4_322 | yeah, just saw that, when I saw 4 GB I thought I messed up | 17:04 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok but they are both formated you need to delete one or move them | 17:04 |
| A4_322 | but it was 2000.4 GB | 17:05 |
| Steve973 | muskie can't you just vi /etc/apt/sources.list? | 17:05 |
| rs0832 | svchost: in a terminal, type chmod 755 filename.run | 17:05 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ya that's what it still is | 17:05 |
| et_ | hi, installation gets stuck at preparing level... | 17:05 |
| A4_322 | hmm... but one should be 600 G and the other should be 100 G, shouldn't it be able to take up the remaining 1 TB? | 17:05 |
| Steve973 | rs0832 he's using a cdrom | 17:05 |
| Steve973 | that is why saying sudo sh /path/to/file should work fine. | 17:05 |

| sacarlson | A4_322: I have no Idea what's on the partitions, I have no idea | 17:07 |
| Steve973 | KM0201 but hit escape first to make sure you're not in edit mode | 17:07 |
| svchost | okay, lets see if that fixes my ubuntu | 17:07 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - one partition for windows XP, and one partition for windows 7 | 17:07 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: all I'm saying is you need to change something | 17:07 |
| Steve973 | svchost what did you have to do to get it to run? | 17:07 |
| svchost | i went to the main root thing in terminal | 17:07 |
| svchost | and then sudo sh and dragged the thing | 17:07 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - what do you suggest? | 17:08 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok so delete one, if it has nothing on it then nothing lost | 17:08 |
| shadaloo | yo | 17:08 |
| shadaloo | how does i | 17:08 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - ubuntu doesn't reckognize either | 17:08 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: I'm clueless I don't know what's on the disk | 17:08 |
| Steve973 | shadaloo how do you what? speak properly? | 17:08 |
| shadaloo | turn the window maximize to the righthand side | 17:08 |

| A4_322 | sacarlson - I just told you! Windows XP and windows 7 | 17:08 |
| svchost | excellent, it works now. yay | 17:08 |
| svchost | somehow the vbox guest additions got killed for some odd reason | 17:08 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - one partition for each | 17:09 |
| muskie | ...really? | 17:09 |
| === ubuxubu is now known as UBuxuBU | ||
| sacarlson | A4_322: it see's it fine but to install it needs to know were, the esiest way to do that is clear one or more partitions so it knows | 17:09 |
| shadaloo | surely someone knows how to the get the x on the right hand side of the windows | 17:09 |
| shadaloo | i don't want to google | 17:09 |
| muskie | wonderful. I enabled the universe and multiverse repositories, and it still says "unable to locate package x11vnc" | 17:09 |
| Steve973 | svchost did it die when you exited the sudo shell? | 17:10 |
| shadaloo | muskie did you apt-cache search | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok and what partition might this empty windows partition be named? | 17:10 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - but this fdisk command told me the locations | 17:10 |
| A4_322 | Windows 7 is the 600 GB partition | 17:10 |
| A4_322 | XP is the 100 GB | 17:10 |
| muskie | Uhh.. Shadaloo. it's a SKin called Human_Right. you HAVE to google it. :P | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: all that tells you is there are two partitions it tells you nothing about what's in them | 17:10 |
| shadaloo | muskie: fawk | 17:10 |
| shadaloo | cheers mate | 17:11 |
| A4_322 | I know what's in them, I thought we just needed to figure out where they are | 17:11 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: well that's good because I don't | 17:11 |

| svchost | what do you mean steve973? | 17:11 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - yes... I do know what's in them. The first one in the pastebin is windows XP, the second one is windows 7. I made the partitions myself... | 17:11 |
| Steve973 | never mind. can you restart the service? | 17:12 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: ok then it's full | 17:12 |
| Steve973 | do you know how to do that? | 17:12 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - it isn't full, there's 1 TB of unallocated space | 17:12 |
| Steve973 | sudo /etc/init.d/vboxwhateveritscalled restart | 17:12 |
| muskie | shadaloo: apt-cache? wha | 17:12 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: you need a total empty partition to work in | 17:12 |

| sacarlson | A4_322: so you will have to find a way to create one of decide what you want to loose | 17:13 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: no it's showing it as full | 17:13 |
| A4_322 | which is the question I'm asking... | 17:13 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: so it doesn't see any of your drives? | 17:13 |

| Steve973 | shadaloo_ what's the matter with window buttons on the left? | 17:14 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - it shows my drive as being a empty 2 TB drive, unpartitioned | 17:14 |
| KM0201 | shadaloo: thats been around for a while | 17:14 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: I'm looking at it, both are acupied partitions, you need to create an unused partition out of the space in one or both of them | 17:14 |
| A4_322 | but it has two windows partitions on it, and some free space | 17:14 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: aer you using some sort of RAID? | 17:15 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - I realize that, but the problem is the partitioner shows it as an empty drive | 17:15 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - nope | 17:15 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: you not getting it, you need an EMPTY partition | 17:15 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - you're not getting it, I can't make one | 17:15 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: you're not listening to him at all are you? | 17:15 |
| bezao | hi, i have ubuntu installed under virtualbox, and my pc(win7) cant ping ubuntu, but i can connect to ssh! i've instaled mysql on ubuntu, and i cant connect throught windows! anyone knows? ubuntu can ping windows, but windows cant ping ubuntu! | 17:15 |
| sacarlson | A4_322: well then buy a new disk | 17:15 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - no, no he's not | 17:15 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - :| | 17:15 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: please give them a solution, they need an empty partition to work in | 17:16 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: only time i've saw that.. is when people were using some unusual raid setups.. i don't have ay answer to your question. | 17:16 |
| muskie | Okay, next thing | 17:16 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: if you can't pay attention, and read what he says, then its useless for you to respond | 17:16 |
| muskie | Getting a "can't find package" error trying to install x11vnc | 17:16 |
| A4_322 | sacarlson - forget it, you're ignoring the real problem and giving me useless advice | 17:16 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: you wer so hellbent o telling him he needed free space, you weren't listening to what he was saying | 17:17 |
| muskie | any way of either fixing this or just installing it manually over a commandline? | 17:17 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: you could be right, but the only method I use is start from a place to install in | 17:17 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: no, i am right. | 17:17 |
| A4_322 | he's right | 17:18 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: read up, and you'll see you were completely wrong | 17:18 |
| Anubis | hi there. i'm trying to use ubuntu netbook into a vm and it's telling me " No required driver detected for unity. [...]" | 17:18 |
| muskie | doiiii.. nevermind | 17:18 |
| muskie | forgot to apt-get update | 17:18 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: anyway.. id on't really have a solution to your problem though.. i have seen it w/ some funny raid cards.. but it doesn't sound like thats your issue | 17:18 |
| bezao | hi, i have ubuntu installed under virtualbox, and my pc(win7) cant ping ubuntu, but i can connect to ssh! i've instaled mysql on ubuntu, and i cant connect throught windows! anyone knows? ubuntu can ping windows, but windows cant ping ubuntu! | 17:18 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: did you say one of your partitions is Win7? | 17:19 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - yes | 17:19 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: there are two partitions they are both in use with windows xp and windows 7, it would require something like partition magic or gparted to move things so there would be space to install ubuntu. A4_322. | 17:19 |
| Anubis | is there some piece of software that i need to install ? | 17:19 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: and you still don't get it.. keep readnig | 17:20 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: ok you continue your point please | 17:20 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - something that might help - the first time I installed my OSes on this computer, I started with linux then installed windows, but windows wouldn't install anywhere on the drive because it said it was in the GPT format | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: WIn 7, has a partition tool integrated into the OS(I'm not really famililar with it, but i know its there)... try using that to set a clear partition, then boot the live cd to see if you see it | 17:20 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - I'll give that a try, it can't hurt... | 17:21 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: if you can't read back and see you were 1000% wrong, then i'm not gonna waste my breath trying to explain his problem to you... like i said, learn to read what peiople are saying | 17:21 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: thats the only thing i can think tot ry.. good luck w/ it | 17:21 |
| muskie | A4_322, perhaps you can use a tool like EASEUS partition manager for windows to create the ext3 partition ahead of time,and then relaunch the liveCD? | 17:21 |
| rs0832 | Anubis, maybe this may be of use - http://netgator.blogspot.com/2010/10/no-required-driver-detected-for-unity_15.html | 17:22 |
| KM0201 | muskie: thats another good suggestion | 17:22 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: you mean his cleam that he could see the partitions at all? but we see them here http://pastebin.com/P2EF9new | 17:22 |
| muskie | The win7 integrated partition tool doesen't actually detect ext3 partitions. | 17:22 |
| A4_322 | muskie - good idea | 17:22 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: you're gonna need a bigger shovel in a minute. | 17:23 |
| muskie | well, it DOES, but it jsut pops up as a "disk" as in, windows know it's formatted but can't do anything with it | 17:23 |
| A4_322 | exactly | 17:23 |
| muskie | yeah, after the Death of PartitionMagic, the only freeware partition manager is EASEUS | 17:23 |
| muskie | thank the RNG that it's a bloody good one | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | muskie: partedmagic is a good, open source partition tool.. but if Linux live cd can't see it, it's unlikely that it will | 17:24 |
| dallas | howdy, i have been searching for about a half hour, what is the name of the program to have a bouncing icons similar to mac os? | 17:24 |
| A4_322 | I'm guessing the windows partition tool won't make ext3 file system partition? | 17:24 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: I'm sure I must have missed something, but what you said above at (12:20:48 AM) is what I have also been trying to say | 17:24 |
| muskie | A4: it can't even see em :P | 17:24 |
| Jeruvy | A4_322: no but you can use diskparted to make the partitions, then format ext them during install. | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: i'm through discussing this with you.. it's pointless to keep discussing it.. .read the scroll back... and you will see you did miss something, and you just kept repeating useless info that done him no good | 17:25 |
| muskie | Use a freeware tool like EASEUS or partedmagic | 17:25 |

| KM0201 | A4_322: then you should be able to ping it if its connected to the internet.. what does "ifconfig" in a terminal show | 17:39 |
| Jeruvy | A4_322: ubuntu isn't fussy about the type of partition. | 17:39 |
| kcorcoran_ | if i am not sure how i installed an application, what is the best method to uninstall? i looked in synaptic and it doesn't show up there, however i can see the installation folder/files if i browse my drive. | 17:39 |
| sacarlson | bezao: you sure it's not reversed, windows normaly won't ping, but ubuntu will return a ping, try arping yourwindowsip | 17:39 |
| mehdi | hi all room | 17:39 |
| brukutu | kcorcoran_, apt-get remove | 17:40 |
| brukutu | or with dpkg | 17:40 |
| A4_322 | KM0201- I'm on windows 7 now | 17:40 |
| brukutu | i am trying to setp a special key on my laptop....one of those manufacturer keys that for instance open their software when pressed....how do i go about it? acpi_listen doesnt pick it up, xev also doesnt... | 17:40 |
| KM0201 | Eduard: unfortunately, i'm not that familiar w/ xorg editing.. ti was just the first thought that came to mind. | 17:40 |
| kcorcoran_ | brukutu: how would i use those to uninstall? | 17:40 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: ok.. and what partitions have you created so far?... | 17:40 |
| sacarlson | bezao: also you should setup the network to be bridged, but I guess in your case it makes no diff | 17:40 |
| rs0832 | kcorcoran_: you have to use them in a terminal | 17:40 |
| brukutu | kcorcoran_, apt-get remove etner/here/app/name | 17:40 |
| A4_322 | 600 GB for ubuntu, 100 GB for XP, and 600 GB for windows 7 | 17:40 |
| SN4K3 | Is there any actual performance difference with ubuntu and arch? | 17:41 |
| A4_322 | when I upgrade XP to SP3, I'll bump that one up to 600 as well | 17:41 |
| brukutu | yeas | 17:41 |
| KM0201 | 600gigs for Ubuntu?.. thats borderline insane | 17:41 |
| bezao | sacarlson its already on bridge | 17:41 |
| sacarlson | bezao: ok | 17:41 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - I love linux ^^ | 17:41 |
| A4_322 | I don't use windows unless I have to | 17:41 |

| brukutu | SN4K3, i use arch. I believe its quciker generally and alot easier to control...its neater.....i use UNR on my netbook thou | 17:41 |
| sacarlson | bezao: but windows can't ping ubuntu? | 17:41 |
| Eduard | Guys , does anybody have any ideas on the matter of fixing the incorrect screen resolution after restart/ | 17:41 |
| Eduard | ? | 17:41 |
| brukutu | Eduard, fix ur xorg file | 17:41 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: lol, ok.. i would create a 4gig swap.. and then make the rest ext3... then boot the installer, and see if it can see the ext3 partition.. | 17:41 |
| bezao | sacarlson no, but ubuntu can ping windows | 17:42 |
| SN4K3 | brukutu: is it stable? | 17:42 |
| sacarlson | bezao: fresh install on ubuntu side? | 17:42 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - so the live cd doesn't make the swap automatically? | 17:42 |
| Eduard | brukutu: duh, it's the file generated by nvidia-settings, no hand editing... | 17:42 |
| bezao | sacarlson nop | 17:42 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: only if you use the auto partitioning tool, which the way you're doing this, you won't be able to | 17:42 |
| rs0832 | Eduard: dont worry about that message :) | 17:42 |
| sacarlson | bezao: ok then what's then on ubuntu what's in sudo iptables -l | 17:43 |
| A4_322 | KM0201 - ok, I'll add the swap | 17:43 |
| bezao | sacarlson iptables v1.4.4: option `-l' requires an argument | 17:43 |
| SN4K3 | brukutu - is it stable? | 17:43 |
| rs0832 | Eduard: as long as someone who knows what they are doing is helping you, you can edit it | 17:43 |
| sacarlson | bezao: opps sudo iptable -L | 17:43 |
| brukutu | Eduard, try opening nvidia-settings as root, open terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings....then do ur settings, save to x file and try | 17:43 |
| karthick87 | !panel | 17:43 |
| sacarlson | bezao: opps again sudo iptables -L | 17:43 |
| KM0201 | A4_322: now, when you boot the installer, you'll have to use the "advanced" partition tool... and if it sees the ext3 partition.. you might be able to format it as ext4(little more efficient use of space) | 17:44 |
| karthick87 | !panels | 17:44 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 17:44 |
| brukutu | SN4K3, i absolutely love it.....you can control most of the system from rc.conf file :) hmmm it is stable, but as it is a roling release distro its very bleading edge. | 17:44 |

| kcorcoran_ | brukutu: i just ran sudo apt-get remove /home/kcorcoran/ffmpeg-0.6.1/ffmpeg, but get the following errors - unable to locate package and couldn't find any package by regex | 17:44 |
| sacarlson | bezao: well you got it all firewalled what do you expect | 17:44 |
| Eduard | brukutu: you the verry big problem is this little pesky fact. My xorg.conf is fine, but after each restart my screen resolution goes off, when i launch nvidia-settings it says that my resolution is the one before restart, but my resolution is actually not that one | 17:45 |
| SN4K3 | brukutu, I was thinking of changing recommend it? | 17:45 |

| sacarlson | bezao: well what runs it at reboot, I think everything is open at boot if you don't run that | 17:48 |
| kcorcoran_ | that's what i was saying, i am not sure how i installed - don't recall if it was via synaptic or ./configure. | 17:48 |
| sacarlson | bezao: otherwise I need to find a script to undo what that does | 17:48 |
| brukutu | kcorcoran_, try this.... | 17:48 |
| twig11 | KM0201: That one doesn't show up in Administration>Hardware Drivers | 17:49 |
| KM0201 | twig11: nevermind that... did you install fwcutter and did you modprobe the b43 driver? | 17:49 |

| gccster | guys where is the tty log file? | 18:06 |
| turgon | brukutu, what does this imply/infer? | 18:06 |
| brukutu | gccster, /var/log/tty i would think | 18:07 |
| ilovefairuz | Guest55575: add .config to the end of the command to limit it to that directory | 18:07 |
| A4_322 | I guess the partition didn't work correctly in that program, ubuntu should have one 600 GB partition and one 16 GB swap | 18:07 |
| gccster | theres no such file | 18:07 |
| pfui | ilovefairuz: btw, i noticed that package installation was slow during the ubuntu install too | 18:07 |
| brukutu | turgon, i would think that something is sending it to sleep and then waking it up instantly....like a usb device that doesnt go to sleep of some sort causing it to come back awake..but when it doesn, it fails to...hence u sit on a black screen | 18:07 |
| Guest55575 | ilovefairuz: ahh its coming from transmission | 18:07 |
| brukutu | turgon, try sort out resume, c if u can sleep and wake up with no problemss..... | 18:08 |
| iszak | jrib, I found out why it wasn't working, turnt out my active mini displayport to dvi adapter got fried (despite being < 3 months old) as it requires USB power which probably over loaded it. $80 down the drain. | 18:08 |

| ilovefairuz | Guest55575: yes it does | 18:08 |
| brukutu | it will probably not work...if that is, good chance that that is what its happening... | 18:08 |

| cntb | hmm belial chromium just that | 18:34 |
| sherwinn | another external drive | 18:34 |

| ilovefairuz | sherwinn: don't you have a usb mouse or something to try it on? something other than a usb "mass storage device" | 18:35 |
| KM0201 | cntb: or, just go ehre and download the actual chrome package for ubuntu http://www.google.com/chrome | 18:35 |
| Belial` | cntb, no problem. you also might want to install the extra package for codecs if you're going to use chromium. that'll enable h.264 and html5. | 18:35 |
| claudiu | any wireless savvy around ? | 18:36 |
| txdv | Belial`: is chromium a default package? | 18:36 |
| muskie | sacarlson, No dice | 18:36 |
| ilovefairuz | tim: are you using the graphical or the command line installer? try passing --help | 18:36 |
| KM0201 | claudiu: depends on the device... | 18:36 |
| ilovefairuz | tim: to find the option for the terminal-only installer | 18:36 |
| sacarlson | muskie: next try e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdb1 | 18:36 |

| wingnut2626 | no problem, i was just looking for a tutorial or guide to getting myself acquainted with using the command line | 18:43 |
| ilovefairuz | sherwinn: ok, i suggest you try the live cd and see if the drive works and/or other devices work (or a different distro), otherwise i suspect your usb port is faulty | 18:43 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, NO output from sudo iwconfig wlan1 channel 1 | 18:43 |

| sacarlson | muskie: it's not likly they all failed at the same time, what could cause such a thing? | 18:44 |
| Arteymis | Kinda need to do a memtest | 18:44 |

| Guest421 | ALMOST have everything working as I wish: Home networking Win7 manhelp?chine with upgraded Ubuntu distro. Can access shares on Ubuntu from windoze, see shares on windoze computer from Ubuntu, but it keeps giving me a password dialog over and over and over and over and...well, you get it. Worgroups, shares, everything worked before when I deleted Windows Live Essentials. Reloaded that program, couldn't do anything. Deleted the Messenger | 18:45 |
| muskie | sacarlson, wouldn't that render the entire thing moot? I thougth RAID1 was striped? | 18:45 |
| ilovefairuz | claudiu: "search for wireless networks" again (however you do that in windows) to pick up the channel change and try connecting | 18:45 |
| sacarlson | muskie: raid1 is just mirrored you can live with just one of them | 18:46 |
| yogesh | ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/0r3mYZBK model is VPCEB24FX | 18:46 |

| ilovefairuz | yogesh: what ubuntu version are you running? | 18:47 |
| yogesh | 10.10 | 18:47 |
| muskie | tbh, I actually think it's 3 seperate 4 drive arrays.. | 18:47 |
| Vanscot | I'm using ubuntu 10.10 and my vga is Radeon 9550/9600 (VGuru) | 18:47 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, its connecting but it takes maany seconds , im waiting now to see the results | 18:47 |
| sacarlson | muskie: I'm not sure how they have it setup normaly with that number they have raid0+1 | 18:47 |

| sasquatch1 | Anyone know how to shutdown a computer on a network? | 18:47 |
| Arteymis | Does anybody know how to force grub on startup? It's for a memtest :( | 18:48 |
| muskie | sasquatch1, ssh in and then send the shutdown -now command ? | 18:48 |
| ilovefairuz | sasquatch1: sudo halt | 18:48 |
| muskie | that works too | 18:48 |
| Vanscot | Any ideas? | 18:48 |
| sasquatch1 | muskie: Can I find out more information about a computer if I only know its MAC address? | 18:48 |
| Vanscot | (Also, I'm getting some weird messages on dmesg) | 18:49 |
| KM0201 | Arteymis: what do mean force grub on start up?... grub starts automaticaly, you don't need to force it | 18:49 |
| ilovefairuz | Arteymis: "force" it to do what ? | 18:49 |
| muskie | sacarlson, allright. I'll just grab a drive out, plug it into an enclodure, and see what happens | 18:49 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, it shows as connected, but with warning yellow sign | 18:49 |
| Arteymis | KM0201: I'm single-booting ubuntu, so I don't have any choice on startup | 18:49 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, ipconfig says IP is 169.254.bla.bla | 18:49 |
| sasquatch1 | ilovefairuz: thanks, do you know how to find out more information about a computer just from it's MAC address? | 18:49 |
| muskie | sasquatch1, that sounds rather like you're wither trying to hack someone or play a prank on a freidn by remotely shutting down his rig lol | 18:49 |
| Arteymis | KM0201: I just want the menu to show up | 18:50 |
| KM0201 | Arteymis: grub is still loading, its just hidden... i believe you need to keep hitting the left shift key to see it(or mark it to "unhide" in grub.conf) | 18:50 |
| Arteymis | KM0201: So by "forcing", I mean show the menu | 18:50 |
| sasquatch1 | muskie: yea just messing around on my home network, nothing malicious | 18:50 |
| KM0201 | Arteymis: well, force insinuates its doing something wrong... | 18:50 |
| Arteymis | KM0201: Thank you, I'll try that | 18:50 |
| ilovefairuz | sasquatch1: not much (other than the manufacturer of that NIC) .. try nmap's OS and version probing | 18:50 |
| sacarlson | muskie: it might help if you knew how it was formated to start with. It's not some hardware raid is it? | 18:50 |
| Arteymis | KM0201: It works grea, but I suspect my memory to be broken | 18:51 |
| Arteymis | Tanks anyway ~~ | 18:51 |
| KM0201 | KM0201: yeah.. | 18:51 |

| eLrOnDz | ? | 18:52 |
| greezmunkey | sasquatch1: you could try pinging the broadcast address on your subnet, let run for a sec or two, stop that and run sudo arp -a to see if an ip address is associated. You can then run nmap against the address to search for open ports, and so on. | 18:52 |
| KM0201 | Guest421: 9.04 is EOL.. you need to ugprade | 18:52 |

| ilovefairuz | claudiu: and that's my point, it's a windows problem | 18:54 |
| KM0201 | claudiu: then thats a windows problem, ask in #windows | 18:54 |
| ilovefairuz | ##windows | 18:54 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, thanks a lot | 18:54 |

| ivze | ilovefairuz, thx, but it now permits posting without authentication... strange :) | 18:55 |
| muskie | sacarlson, I think I'm gonna give up until one of the more knowledgable people in the house here comes to take a crack at it. since he kind of OWNS the server and buiilt it.. | 18:55 |
| Guest421 | It keeps repeating itself. | 18:55 |
| eLrOnDz | any one can help ? | 18:55 |
| sacarlson | muskie: ok I secound that | 18:55 |
| axhynic | could some one post the output of ls -l / | grep home | 18:55 |
| muskie | he just didn't know why it was booting. I can thankfully tell him WHY X looked like candy stripes now lol | 18:55 |
| nit-wit | Guest421, this is a wubi where the Ubuntu is not showing in the boot choce correct | 18:56 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: in win7 remove the profile for that network. Then go back to the network widget in the tray, left click and select the wireless network, select connect - it should ask for the passphrase, or password. Supply it and see if it works or not. The key here is to remove the existing profile first. | 18:56 |
| Guest421 | Googled that and other folks having the same problems, but I haven't gotten a solution to the last problem. | 18:56 |
| FishFace | Guest421: I gave you a link to fix your windows and the login problem | 18:56 |
| muskie | yeah, if only I knew what kind of RAID this was | 18:56 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, thanks ill be back in minutes | 18:56 |
| sacarlson | muskie: sorry I was not much help, and it's my bed time, so good luck over there. and pm me of your outcome. | 18:56 |

| muskie | Not a problem, sacarlson , you've helped more than anyone else so far lol | 18:57 |

| sasquatch1 | HeTaL_: Correct, you will want to fix the window mbr first | 19:04 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, but I know the IP is wrong because it should be 10.42.43.something | 19:05 |
| sebastia | bye | 19:05 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: that's because it is trying to get an ip via dhcp where no dhcp is available. | 19:05 |
| HeTaL_ | sasquatch1: I want to merge an empty partition with the ubuntu partition, and then reinstall over the ubuntu partition. | 19:05 |

| smerz | or netbook ubuntu | 19:09 |
| sasquatch1 | HeTaL_: Google the ubuntu forums there is information on fixing your windows MBR then you can use GParted to uninstall ubuntu and merge the windows and empty partition together. | 19:09 |
| smerz | try out what works for you nirazio | 19:09 |
| ilovefairuz | HeTaL_: i don't recommend you merge the partition, you could lose both of them, and it won't make your windows bootable | 19:10 |
| sasquatch1 | HeTaL_: There is lots of info out there, i've done it many times. | 19:10 |
| HeTaL_ | sasquatch1: Ok. Was looking for a quick fix. | 19:10 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, its connecting for around 30 seconds and the it says Connected, but with wrong IP (169.254....) and no internet access and ZERO packets received | 19:10 |
| ilovefairuz | HeTaL_: restore the master boot record and then use a live cd or a windows program to erase the partition | 19:10 |
| n_i_x | does anyone know why ubuntu would be making a hard drive connected to sata port 1 /dev/sdd instead of /dev/sda? | 19:10 |
| nudlsuppn | greetings | 19:10 |
| nudlsuppn | merry xmas | 19:10 |
| sasquatch1 | HeTaL_: It'll take some work. | 19:10 |
| HeTaL_ | ilovefairuz: Will do. I'd also rather do it that way since I'm having some problems with my partition locations. | 19:11 |
| sasquatch1 | HeTaL_: Good luck! | 19:11 |
| HeTaL_ | sasquatch1: Thanks. Finally giving up on Ubuntu's large changes from distro to the other. | 19:11 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: ok, it doesn't like the dhcp server - set the wireless network on your win7 as ip:10.42.43.10, mask 255.255.255.0, gate 10.42.43.1, dns 10.42.43.1 and 8.8.8.8 - then try agagin. | 19:11 |
| HeTaL_ | Moving to fedora | 19:11 |
| HeTaL_ | Anyways, thank you. | 19:12 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, I did that before, I'll do it again and report back in 5 minutes | 19:12 |

| chaospsychex | will 32-bit ubuntu work on a 64-bit processor ? | 19:14 |
| KM0201 | chaospsychex: yes | 19:14 |
| marie | <chaospsychex> it will | 19:14 |
| KM0201 | chaospsychex: but if you have more than 4gigs of total ram, it will not recognize it all w/o installinga special kernel | 19:15 |
| === jason is now known as Guest74175 | ||
| === Tannerbaum is now known as Cleaningbaum | ||
| BluesKaj | chaospsychex, if you have 4G ram or more then 64bit might be somewhat quicker but barely noticeable, and some media apps might give trouble | 19:17 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, pinging gateway 10.42.43.1 doesnt work host unreachable | 19:17 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: is the wireless net associated? | 19:18 |
| fatharrahman | hi | 19:18 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, what do u mean ? | 19:18 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: are you saying some media apps, work on 64bit and not 32bit, or the other way around? | 19:18 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: is the win7 box connected to the wireless network... | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | KM0201, some have trouble on 64bit like some browser plugins | 19:20 |
| keanu | not sure if this is better suited elsewhere, but is it possible to change the bus width on an sd card? i managed to break pin 8 (DAT1), but from the research i've done so far, if the bus width is set to 1 (instead of 4) only DAT0 is used | 19:20 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: oh ok.. gotcha.. i thought you were saying some apps only work in 64 bit... i agree w/ you, 32bit is almost always going to give more compatibility | 19:20 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, in the list on right bottom it says Connected, but in N&Sharing center it has a yellow sign between localhost and GW and a RED cross between GW and Internet. Access type: No network access | 19:20 |

| liddell333 | Hi I have a little question that might sound silly. My friend is using GNOME and he says his default file manager is VLC, somehow. Apparently to change the default file manager is in a different place than the usual open with/default application place. Any insight? | 19:21 |
| Mattw_ | A | 19:21 |
| KM0201 | liddell333: so when he choose a folder(like in places menu) it opens VLC? | 19:21 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, it seems that win7 talks other lang than ubuntu, lol | 19:21 |
| Mattw_ | I meant it goes crazy. Am on a mobile device. It's a laptop. Ni I'd | 19:22 |
| paranoid_ndroid | how can I see the saved wireless network passwords? | 19:22 |
| Mattw_ | No idea why | 19:22 |

| KM0201 | Mattw_: is the laptop ATI? | 19:23 |
| liddell333 | KM0202: yes, it opens the place in the VLC playlist browser | 19:23 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: hmm, not sure then - in this case google is probably your best friend. Unfortunately I have to go to the hardware store before it closes. Good luck, if you're still here later I can lab that here to see if I get the same results. | 19:23 |
| liddell333 | KM0201: yes, it opens the place in the VLC playlist browser | 19:23 |
| claudiu | greezmunkey, thanks a lot man for your time | 19:23 |
| KM0201 | liddell333: do this... open a terminal.. and nautilus /home | 19:23 |
| nesto1000 | quick question you guys! How can I access a program folder in ubuntu? I remember that I done something with a tilde last time but i forgot | 19:24 |
| Mattw_ | Any fix for this? I am having to surf net on phone because ubuntu simply will not install. Screen goes crazy. | 19:24 |
| KM0201 | liddell333: that will open up the home folder... then right click a folder, and choose "open with"... go throught he list, and choose "File Browser" and make sure at the bottom its checked "always use this program" | 19:24 |
| === fawka is now known as rallias | ||
| BluesKaj | liddell333, do you mean VLC is media file manager for music and video ?, a file manager is used for most files on the system | 19:24 |
| Mattw_ | Mm. | 19:24 |
| greezmunkey | claudiu: You'll get it. I used ics on ubuntu a lot in the past, but never with win7. | 19:24 |
| Mattw_ | Yes ati | 19:24 |

| xiaolindraconis | i already ubuntu on here twice | 19:33 |
| tjubang | 10.10 | 19:33 |
| BajK_ | bsmith093: this is volume settings, and those work, also enabling/disabling WLAN works | 19:33 |
| dd070 | is it common that ubuntu run slower than winxp ? | 19:34 |
| xiaolindraconis | and that is a little too minimal | 19:34 |
| xiaolindraconis | pfft no its not | 19:34 |

| tjubang | country0129, dont think thats the same issue as me | 19:35 |
| BajK_ | ah, I just upgraded from Beta 2 to RC1 and now the OSD shows that theres something happening | 19:35 |
| KM0201 | xiaolindraconis: it's rpobably not faster, it just doesn't have as much bloat as most windows systems | 19:35 |

| KM0201 | country0129: 256k of ram?.. surprising.. | 19:36 |
| xiaolindraconis | dd070: did u disable compiz? | 19:36 |
| dd070 | xiaolindraconis: what is it? | 19:36 |
| country0129 | But Anti-X worked better. | 19:36 |
| BajK_ | so, now everything works, except for the fact that screen bright ness does not change | 19:37 |
| KM0201 | country0129: well yah.. i'm sure.. i can't imagine gnome running well on 256mb of ram | 19:37 |
| rigved | dd070: it depends on what you are running in both of them. if you run metacity or Lubuntu for that matter, they are much faster! | 19:37 |

| country0129 | Do you have Synoptic Package Manager? | 19:38 |
| franc | xiaolindraconis: if you remove everything except games or firefox you won't have a gui | 19:38 |
| ilovefairuz | BajK_: read the whole thread | 19:39 |
| rigved | dd070: disabling compiz like xiaolindraconis said will give you metacity. it a Window Manager for gnome | 19:39 |
| xiaolindraconis | franc: ok so not everything | 19:39 |
| rigved | dd070: in the terminal type - metacity --replace | 19:39 |
| country0129 | For newbies like myself, that's the easiest way to remove stuff. Just select it, see what it does in the window or Google it, and delete. | 19:39 |
| tjubang | i use ssh -i keyfile.ppk user@mysite.xx -p 22 | 19:40 |
| franc | or you could just do dpkg -l, find the ones you want to uninstall, and do a massive apt-get remove --purge | 19:40 |
| rigved | dd070: that will give you metacity. it means that your desktop effects will be disabled but you'll get a 'lighter' desktop | 19:40 |
| tjubang | when i type in my passphrase i just get a new line where i can enter passphrase | 19:40 |
| ilovefairuz | xiaolindraconis: that will be rather messy, better do a minimal install | 19:40 |
| xiaolindraconis | i selected one package that seemed useless but then it said i had to get rid of gnome-panel gnome-desktop and a lot of other things | 19:40 |
| country0129 | I'm just learning the command line thingy. Conversant in ol' 6.2 DOS, but, he's right: if you can do command line, it's much faster and easier. | 19:41 |

| bioz | hi, I have - maybe small - problem which I can't force myself:/. It's about configuring SMB to get a computer with Ubuntu connected with a computer with WinXP (I need to download files from a cpu with Ubuntu to the another one). Could anyone help me configuring this, or maybe someone knows the full tutorial to enjoy just this one feature? I'm lame, fyi. | 19:52 |
| bioz | I have edited config file and set proper IPs and workgroups on both computers but it doesn't work. | 19:52 |
| bioz | I have now these computers connected ad hoc, and at the same time one of them is connected to the router with a wire, and second one is using wireless connection. They are connected to the router because I need to get some help while configuring samba;). | 19:52 |
| FloodBot3 | bioz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:52 |
| adrian_kx | now in ubuntu everything works out of the box | 19:52 |

| adrian_kx | my guess is that much work is done now in the kernel mode settings and in acpi-utils | 19:54 |
| hanasaki | rigved: it left a /etc/.. dir and then didn't change it when I did the install / rm -are /etc/packagedir and install didn't overwrite either | 19:54 |

| duron23 | thanks for your help people | 19:55 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: If you manually removed them, you'll need to purge the package(s), then reinsall. Many packages have dependencies (like -common) that include the stuff in /etc, make sure you get those too. | 19:55 |
| duron23 | merry cristmas | 19:55 |
| hanasaki | rigved: yes | 19:55 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, yea, that's what I'm looking at | 19:55 |

| ottermaton | I don't see a reference to bcmwl-kernel-source | 19:55 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, oh, nvrmind. I see it. I | 19:56 |
| ottermaton | 'm in the part lower on the page for the b43 drivers | 19:56 |
| sayres | usr13: how? | 19:56 |
| ilovefairuz | ottermaton: read the whole page :) | 19:57 |
| usr13 | sayres: Explain in more detail your question | 19:57 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: rigved the openvpn dir is empty after purge and then install! | 19:57 |
| rigved | hanasaki: sudo rm -r /etc/openvpn/ | 19:57 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, I'm not trying to get the STA drivers, I'm trying to do the b43. 2 different things | 19:57 |
| Flannel | rigved, hanasaki: No. don't ever manually remove stuff in /etc | 19:58 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: yup.... | 19:58 |
| hanasaki | thanks ridg | 19:58 |
| rigved | Flannel: agreed | 19:58 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: so now something in ubuntu has remember it is removed | 19:58 |
| country0129 | If you edit/delete /etc, always save a backup where you can find it again. | 19:58 |
| hanasaki | via purge | 19:58 |
| hanasaki | not rm | 19:58 |
| rigved | hanasaki: first run the command to purge remove. then delete the directory | 19:58 |
| rigved | if it still exists | 19:59 |
| Flannel | No. Don't delete the directory. | 19:59 |
| hanasaki | didn't rigved just agree not to deltee the dir | 19:59 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: is your device supported by b43? | 19:59 |
| BajK_ | ilovefairuz: but those graphics card switching things don't work at all :( | 19:59 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: what is it that remember sthe state of the etc dir? | 19:59 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: Is there a particular file you're looking for that isn't there? or is it just not working? | 19:59 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: dpkg (apt) | 19:59 |
| rigved | hanasaki: yes. do it as a last option only, if nothing works | 19:59 |
| KruelKoyote | anyone have any ideas why if i unplug headphones or charger from laptop my laptop grinds? | 19:59 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: well /etc/init.d/openvpn start says it stared.. but there is no process running and stop or status says no vpns to stop | 20:00 |
| infid | htop is saying that 'cpu 4' is at 100% and it keeps causing my amd64 quadcore machine's fan to go off. how do i find out which processes are running on cpu4 so i can kill or renice? | 20:00 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, Actually, looking a little further I do have to use STA. | 20:00 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, It's the 4315 by the way | 20:00 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: so, it's just not running. Alright. Do this: sudo apt-get purge openvpn openvpn-blacklist | 20:00 |
| sayres | usr13: Now my www folder directory / var is located. I want this folder inside the home would transfer file .... what do I need to change? | 20:00 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: ok.. i've never used the STA driver, don't know how it works, etc. | 20:01 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: Once that's done, dpkg -l | grep vpn, does it list any packages? or just exits without any output? | 20:01 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: its an empty output | 20:02 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: the /etc/openvpn dir is still there | 20:02 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, That's ok. The question is kind of general: In the step which is in both b43 and STA that says: "Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the b43 drivers can be activated for use. " Since I don't have gnome I won't have that menu. So how do I go about the activation? | 20:02 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: What does `dpkg -S /etc/openvpn` output? | 20:02 |
| rooks | how to synchoronise phones via bluetooth (nokia and erricson) the usual contscts plus calendar | 20:03 |
| hanasaki | dpkg: /etc/openvpn not found. | 20:03 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: Oh, right. Hmm. | 20:03 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: are you using a server install? | 20:03 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: what's that indicate | 20:03 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, Am I being clear? Do you understand what I'm asking? | 20:03 |
| rigved | hanasaki: if no files are present in the directory, then it's fine if the directory is still there. the config files have already been removed. | 20:03 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, No an Ubuntu derivative. Bodhi | 20:03 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: Nothing, that's expected, I just was being silly. | 20:03 |
| ilovefairuz | ottermaton: you STILL didn't see the page has online and offline instructions for both drivers? | 20:04 |
| hanasaki | lol | 20:04 |
| Flannel | hanasaki: What version of Ubuntu is this? 10.10? | 20:04 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: so what now | 20:04 |
| hanasaki | yes 10.10 | 20:04 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: well, i'd suggest seeking out help from Bodhi developers. | 20:04 |
| chaospsychex | why would my sound device output level be unusually low even if i have it turned all the way up? | 20:04 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, of course. Do you STILL not see the question I'm asking? | 20:04 |
| ilovefairuz | ottermaton: the GUI installs bcwml | 20:04 |
| xissburg | Where is Ubuntu's standard output stream? | 20:05 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, so...you wouldn't know how to that activation by CLI | 20:05 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: correct.... | 20:05 |
| sayres | usr13: Now my www folder directory / var is located. I want this folder inside the home would transfer file .... what do I need to change?:'( | 20:05 |
| rooks | contacts synchronisation to bluetooth, is there some GO-TO app for such thing? | 20:05 |
| ottermaton | ? | 20:05 |
| ottermaton | KM0201, ok. Thanks for trying to help | 20:06 |
| usr13 | sayres: Use symlinks to home filder directory | 20:06 |
| ilovefairuz | rooks: try gnokii? | 20:06 |
| hanasaki | Flannel: ? | 20:06 |
| Flannel | hnasaki: Alright, now, sudo apt-get install openvpn, once that happens, you should have /etc/openvpn/update-resolve-conf (and I think that's likely all that's in that folder) | 20:06 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, Yes, thank you for stating the obvious. | 20:06 |
| rigved | rooks: i don't know but there is fumabol to sync with ubuntuone | 20:06 |
| imi | hi. if my hdd is quite full ubuntu offers some hdd allocation monitor to launch. how can I launch that app by hand? | 20:06 |

| BajK_ | xangua: it's not ubuntu. it's an imaging tool but it is CD only | 20:08 |

| tehdave | Howdy everyone. Got a sound issue here: if I leave my master volume control up and speakers down, I get static, but if I drop the master volume down with speakers way up, I get regular noise. I'm assuming (from what I've read) that this has to do with PCM volume, but I can't seem to find a control for it, and Alsamixer seems to be gone from 10.04. Can anyone give me a hand please? | 20:10 |
| usr13 | sayres: chown myname /home/myname/www | 20:10 |
| Flannel | sayres, usr13: why not just use userdirs? Put stuff in ~/public_html, and then browse to it in mysite/~myusername | 20:10 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, I understand the difference between using a gui and a cli to install packages. However, once installed it still needs activated. And the only instructions to activate it are gui instructions | 20:10 |
| country0129 | Network guru? | 20:10 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, "Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the b43 drivers can be activated for use. " How does one do THIS STEP without the gui? | 20:10 |
| usr13 | Flannel: Well, that would be fine too but sayres wanted it in /home/username/ | 20:11 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: you can probably modprobe it.. but thats the only guess i'd have | 20:11 |
| ilovefairuz | ottermaton: the word "activate" in the interface is only for usability, no "activation" is needed after the package is installed, it's a kernel module and it is automatically loaded upon detecting the wireless chipset | 20:11 |
| Flannel | usr13: Sharing your homedir is a bad idea, I imagine he just wants to share stuff in a place writable by his user | 20:11 |
| usr13 | sayres: Basically, it doesn't matter. You can have the files where ever you want, just move them where you want and then symlink to them. | 20:11 |

| chaospsychex | why would my sound device output level be unusually low even if i have it turned all the way up? | 20:17 |
| KM0201 | ottermaton: it should, all its supposed to do is activate the device | 20:17 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: most likely hasn't loaded the driver yet if you don't have a /dev/video device | 20:17 |

| industry__ | kcorcoran_: what's the device show up as under lspci? | 20:18 |
| ilovefairuz | ottermaton: rather than using terms arbitrarily, understand that this is simply a kernel module, the kernel detects hardware on boot and loads appropriate modules/drivers for available hardware, the "modprobe" is doing so without reboot, but it's been reported here before that a reboot (no, a complete shutdown even) may be required to get the firmware loaded correctly | 20:18 |

| industry__ | xissburg: if you are talking about the UNIX standard error output stream, then you'll need to clarify for what program | 20:21 |
| ottermaton | ilovefairuz, interesting that you say I'm using a term "arbitrarily" when that term is EXACTLY the term used in the instructions, the instructions I pasted about 5 times. But whatever | 20:21 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: thanks, one moment while I google this | 20:21 |
| Hydrant_ | xissburg: is there a particular thing you are looking for in stderr? It's different per application... and the process can do whatever it wants with stderr | 20:21 |
| nikitis | Anyone? | 20:21 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Ah. Right, you do need to write partitions before going into LVM. | 20:21 |
| Stava | With this particular computer I cant connect through the router (neither wifi nor lan). But it works if I bypass the router and connect the computer directly with my modem. Do you have any idea of why this is occurring? | 20:21 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, win7 cant connect with encrypted adhoc wireless ubuntu | 20:21 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Just delete the partitions and start over | 20:21 |
| Stava | I have 2 other computers connected to the very same router though | 20:21 |
| xissburg | I mean, when I call System.err.print in java and it is not printing in the shell | 20:21 |

| Hydrant_ | Flannel: but I don't like the partition layout, and it gives me this big red box yelling at me | 20:22 |
| intrader | On Christmas Eve, wish you all a Merry Christmas. My problem started with 10.10 - the fan on this old Dell Inspiron 8200 is always on; CPU load is 4.0 as I type this (mostly XOrg and 1.3% xchat). Noise from fan is not tolerable. | 20:22 |
| kcorcoran_ | industry__ thank you...if you can tell me what you're looking up as well so i can understand how you're troubleshooting this....it would help me to learn. | 20:22 |
| Hydrant_ | xissburg: this is a Java issue, and has nothing to do with Ubuntu or Linux | 20:22 |
| wilmer_ | after install ubuntu 10.10 do I get the windows 7 and just started ubuntu, I do not get the grub | 20:22 |
| otak | nikitis: ddclient ? | 20:22 |

| induz | How can I install .isc and .utf8 to Ubuntu | 20:23 |
| wilmer_ | how can i repair de windows boot from ubuntu? | 20:23 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: the partition for LVM won't let me delete it... "no modifications can be made because it's used by the volume group..." | 20:23 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Sorry, I'm not sure where you are. A screen that looks like this, right? http://www.webdevster.com/media/images/how-to/xen-qrm-lvm/lvm-xen-1hdd-install.jpg | 20:23 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: i'm just googling the device ID with the word "ubuntu" and seeing what comes up...can you try running lsmod | grep videodev | 20:24 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: almost... I wish I could screenshot this one... but it has the volume groups already defined at the top, and the partitions below | 20:24 |
| usr13 | sayres: If you are switching to a cms, you are going to have to redo the site anyway. Right? | 20:24 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: so you've already gone to the "Configure LVM" stuff? | 20:24 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: which will tell me if you have any camera drivers loaded | 20:24 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: no, I'm trapped at partitioning stage... because LVM needs the physical layout set, and I don't like what it did | 20:24 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Maybe more like this: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SoftwareRaidRoot?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=17.gif | 20:24 |
| usr13 | sayres: But it still does not matter where you serve from. | 20:24 |
| tehdave | When I try to run alsamixer, I get the error "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory". Trying to lower the PCM volume for sound so I can have normal sound again. Any idea how to fix this? | 20:24 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: yes, that's what it looks like | 20:24 |
| industry__ | tehdave: is the normal mixing application not working for you? | 20:25 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: But if you haven't set up LVM, how can you have a .... oooh, you chose the "use the whole disk as LVM"? option? | 20:25 |
| nikitis | otak, ah, thanks | 20:25 |
| sayres | usr13: If I mv url when you write localhost, a message is not found?Localhost I'm so moved? | 20:25 |
| nikitis | otak, i have only delt with ddns on routers | 20:25 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: yes, I wanted to see what options it would choose... and now I don't like them so I want to adjust | 20:25 |
| kcorcoran_ | industry__ http://pastebin.ca/2028435 | 20:25 |
| country0129 | Networking guru? | 20:25 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Right, I strongly suggest creating a partition (of the whole disk, is fine) and then using that as a VG. | 20:25 |
| chaospsychex | why would my sound device output level be unusually low even if i have it turned all the way up? | 20:25 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Uh, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure. How about powering down and restarting? | 20:26 |
| ilovefairuz | claudiu: you could try hostapd but it requires more setup | 20:26 |
| tehdave | industry__, There is no normal mixing application. The absolute only volume control I can find _anywhere_ is for Master volume, which if I turn way down, and my speakers way up, I get normal sound. With master volume anything past about 20% I hear nothing but static | 20:26 |
| nsisodiya | how i can install wine without installaling nonfree package ? | 20:26 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Why don't you want it to write to disk yet? trying to save some data or something? | 20:26 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: so you do have uvcvideo loaded. have you already tried ls /dev/ | grep video ? | 20:26 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: well, having swap as part of LVM makes little sense to me... so swap and /boot I don't want under LVM control | 20:26 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: So, why not just write it, and then modify it after it's written? | 20:27 |
| country0129 | Is not wine distributed with the package, Ubuntu? | 20:27 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: the install warned me that I should not do this | 20:27 |
| topbayder | hi | 20:27 |
| nsisodiya | how i can install wine without installing nonfree package like ttf-mscorefonts-installer ? | 20:27 |
| kcorcoran_ | industry__ it replies Usage: lsmod | 20:27 |
| claudiu | ilovefairuz, I ll check hostapd | 20:27 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: You can't have /boot in LVM, actually. Swap you can. And having swap in LVM means you could repurpose that area for LVM later (more easily then just adding another VG where the swap used to be) | 20:27 |
| usr13 | sayres: Sorry, I do not understand your question. | 20:27 |
| industry__ | tehdave: if i'm not mistaken ubuntu uses pulseaudio. the right tool i think is pamixer in the command line | 20:27 |
| usr13 | sayres: Try and say it differently. | 20:27 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: it claims once the partition is written it's game over... there is no data I'm trying to save, I can reboot if required, but I don't think I should have to reboot just for this | 20:28 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: It warned you that you shouldn't make changes after it's written? interesting. I'm not ure why it would do that. | 20:28 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: ? for "ls /dev/ | grep video" ? | 20:28 |
| topbayder | i am having trouble with my broadcom 4313 and have the sta driver for the card form synaptic but it doesn't show up in the additional drivers list.. :/ | 20:28 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: that's plain ls, not lsmod | 20:28 |
| tehdave | industry__, yeah, but the level correction is in alsamixer. pamixer returns "couldn't find command. Did you mean amixer?" amixer gives the same "No such file or directory" | 20:28 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: I don't know why the partition would be locked, you'd just have to, well, delete and reformat those partitions. But again, I've never tried this (I don't do LVM-as-full-disk), so let me google, I guess. | 20:28 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: yah, some people might like swap under LVM, I don't... I agree there is little difference... but I just don't want to carry around a VG for swap... | 20:29 |
| country0129 | Ubuntu, Windoze 7, HomeNetworking: works with exception to logging onto Windoze from Ubuntu. Nothing worked until I uninstalled Windoze Messenger from Windoze Live Essentials. Now all works except repeating login from Ubuntu. Any fixes? | 20:29 |
| meero | how to add script to start at boot time? | 20:29 |
| kcorcoran_ | industry__ oops. okay, when i run that nothing happens...just return to prompt again | 20:29 |
| industry__ | tehdave: does your sound device work? i ask because it sounds like you've got no sound card detected | 20:29 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: well, I can just reboot... I just wasn't sure if I was completely missing something or if it was a bug | 20:29 |
| bastidrazor | !boot > meero | 20:29 |
| ubottu | meero, please see my private message | 20:29 |
| usr13 | meero: You could use /etc/rc.local | 20:29 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: okay, so there is no /dev/video or anything. | 20:29 |
| tehdave | industry__, yep. Sound device works. I can get sound, I just can't adjust any levels but master. | 20:29 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: There's probably some good reason for it, since someone went through the effort of writing that safety check in. | 20:30 |
| xissburg | where are my bash configs? | 20:30 |
| chaospsychex | why would my sound device output level be unusually low even if i have it turned all the way up? | 20:30 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: hold on another second | 20:30 |
| kcorcoran_ | industry__ correct. does that mean there isn't any drivers loaded? | 20:30 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: there could be a reason, but I mostly seem to have gotten trapped...I guess I'll have to choose manual next tiem | 20:30 |
| mongy | topbayder, not showing up in additional drivers? try sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 20:31 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: no, it means the driver isn't initializing the device properly. can you paste dmesg | tail for me? | 20:31 |
| meero | usr13, i would like to add snmp deamon to start at boot, i added the line "/etc/init.d/snmpd start" , but it is now working... | 20:31 |
| tehdave | industry__, To be fair, aplay -l shows my USB audio, but lspci |grep usb or grep audio doesn't show an audio device | 20:31 |
| chaospsychex | why would my sound device output level be unusually low even if i have it turned all the way up? | 20:32 |
| industry__ | tehdave: very odd -- not sure what else to try | 20:32 |

| Hydrant_ | Flannel: yah, this is definitely a bug | 20:34 |
| mongy | chaospsychex, do you have multiple devices? which one is it using | 20:34 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: File it! and I guess work around it for now :) | 20:34 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: I rebooted, chose manual... and the LVM groups are still there... and impossible to delete! | 20:34 |
| chaospsychex | one device | 20:34 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: your bug looks identical to something that the gentoo folks seem to have found | 20:34 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Oh, strange indeed. | 20:34 |
| Flannel | Hydrant_: Try getting a live system and writitng dev/zero to the disk | 20:35 |
| country0129 | No networking help? | 20:35 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: I normally will dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda in these cases | 20:35 |
| Hydrant_ | yah | 20:35 |
| Hydrant_ | well, with a count ;-) | 20:35 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: they have a workaround. plug your webcam in, then do "sudo rmmod uvcvideo" and then "sudo modprobe uvcvideo" | 20:35 |
| eirikb | Hello, anyone know any guides to install Ubuntu directly to hdd from Ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| === Hekos is now known as hekos | ||
| mongy | chaospsychex, idk to be honest then. could be driver thing could be pulseaudio thing. as a workaround I guess you use pulseaudio-equalizer and ramp up the pre-amp (http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/pulseaudio-system-wide-equalizer-now.html) | 20:36 |
| intrader | Seems minor, but I am afraid for the old computer; problem started with 10.10 - the fan Dell Inspiron 8200 is always on; CPU load is 4.0 as I type this (mostly XOrg and 1.3% xchat). Noise from fan is not tolerable. | 20:36 |
| usr13 | meero: Try adding the line to /etc/rc.local | 20:36 |

| sayres | usr13: I move if I want to do the www folder. When I write in browser localhost , default apache2 is directory / var / www ! Message is not found. why should I set the apache2 | 20:36 |
| industry__ | kcorcoran_: see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-bugs/2010-April/079731.html which references the gentoo bug -- the dmesg output is identical to yours | 20:36 |
| bioz | I can't configure the network ad hoc connection between two computers:/ I have modified network connection settings in my pc with ubuntu (ip 192.168.0.20, subnet mask 255.255.0.0, gateway 192.168.1.1; no settings for dns) and second one with winxp (192.168.0.19, 255.255.0.0, 192.168.1.1).

| eirikb | _dev_null_: It's a laptop with broken CD-ROM which does not support USB boot. So my only solution so far is PXE or directly, and I think there is an installer for Windows | 20:40 |

| ilovefairuz | BajK_: you should back up your stuff before you start praying | 20:41 |
| bastidrazor | BajK_: you should of defragmented the drive and used windows to resize the partition.. if so you should be fine | 20:41 |
| chaospsychex | i had to reinstall ubuntu and i didnt choose to install 3rd party stuff and it was like this | 20:41 |
| Hydrant_ | Flannel: do you know the installer package to file a bug against ? | 20:41 |
| _dev_null_ | eirikb, yep. It's still a 'normal' / usual install, I bet. | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | BajK_: as long as you're not reckless, you should be ok | 20:42 |
| KM0201 | but defragging before hand is a good idea. | 20:42 |

| Spirits-Sight | Muellisoft: in the settings it does not have pointer or even themes for that fact thats why I was confused :( any advace please!!! | 20:48 |
| Muelli | Spirits-Sight: indeed weird. | 20:48 |
| Spirits-Sight | Muelli: thats what I throught | 20:48 |
| mongy | chaospsychex, is this a 10.10 thing or was it same in 10.04 | 20:48 |
| eirikb | _dev_null_, Flannel: debootstrap seems like a lot of manual work, many things might go wrong. Any other suggstions? :) | 20:49 |
| Spirits-Sight | Muelli: I just look into mine and it also does not have it, the otehr system is my gf's | 20:49 |
| chaospsychex | mongy: when i first installed 10.10 it wasn't like this. when i installed the 2nd time it was like this | 20:49 |
| bioz | bastidrazor: well, shame on me, but it still doesn't work, mount -a asks me for my password, and then "mount error(110): Connection timed out; Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)" | 20:49 |
| Flannel | eirikb: I believe that's really the only way to do it if you're really interested in not rebooting. chroot and deboostrap | 20:49 |
| country0129 | zo | 20:50 |
| eirikb | Flannel: I have another laptop here, could PXE be a easy solution? | 20:50 |
| _dev_null_ | eirikb, try extracting the initrd (and possibly kernel, if different) from the .iso, and boot over it. | 20:50 |
| mongy | chaospsychex, must be an update then thats done it. I assume a livecd/usb boot is ok? | 20:50 |
| Flannel | eirikb: It could be. That would require you to reboot. Why were you wondering about ways that didn't require you to reboot? | 20:50 |
| country0129 | er, sorry.... I'm upgrading to the latest Linux Kernel from Ubuntu...it's almost through. I'm here until I resolve the issue. | 20:50 |
| eirikb | _dev_null_: Extracting directly to a new partition and point GRUB to it you mean? | 20:51 |
| _dev_null_ | yes. | 20:51 |
| eirikb | Flannel: I guessed that implied what I wanted, sorry for the misunderstanding | 20:51 |
| Spirits-Sight | anyone know why the pointer section is no longer in the mouse applet? | 20:51 |
| _dev_null_ | eirikb, that's what I did for my CD-less note book.. | 20:51 |
| country0129 | I had 9.04 | 20:51 |
| Flannel | eirikb: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation lists a whole bunch of methods for various "I have X and Y, but not Z, how can I install?" | 20:52 |
| eirikb | _dev_null_: It's safer I think, I'll give it a try. Thanks | 20:52 |
| induz | how can I achieve this http://paste.ubuntu.com/547343/ | 20:52 |
| induz | I have downloaded the files and also made a directory under required folder | 20:52 |
| Flannel | eirikb: The "extract and point GRUB to it" is covered on that "From Linux" page too | 20:52 |
| Flannel | eirikb: If you need pre-fab commands | 20:52 |
| induz | but when i try to copy, it says i dont have access | 20:53 |
| Flannel | (or are lazy and want them!) | 20:53 |
| _dev_null_ | eirikb, simpler, maybe ;) well, I went into a race condition if the iso file is on ext fs, the install proc' stopped.. | 20:53 |
| bastidrazor | Spirits-Sight: System > Preferences > Appearances > Theme > Customize > Pointer | 20:53 |
| eirikb | Flannel: ok | 20:53 |
| _dev_null_ | I had to convince it to start over. | 20:53 |

| industry__ | ron: it's a pretty common complaint | 21:36 |
| Bouncer | Jordan_u: do you have a link where I can read more about this. Which edition was hacked and hahow? | 21:37 |
| _dev_null_ | xissburg, right, you can see that the standard i/o are all connected to your tty.. | 21:37 |

| [8-bit][Pixel] | how can i change incoming font formats on xchat so that all the font colors are the same (since some people use annoying scripts) | 21:38 |
| ron | industry__: any suggestions to fix it? cant seem to get any ati driver installed. have one downloaded but cant make it work | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | Bouncer: I didn't mean "hacked" in the sense of security, when I said "hacked together in a fairly ugly way" I meant basically "poorly designed". | 21:38 |
| _dev_null_ | terminaj, xterm, console. the thing you have under your eyes, even if you're blind.. | 21:38 |

| Belial` | msichal, if you're really running 10.04, the only thing i can recommend is upgrading to 10.10 for a newer kernel. i never stick with an LTS version. so i'm not sure what the policy is on their kernel upgrades. | 22:20 |

| chaospsychex | I've configured everything,set all levels to max and still my sound output in ubuntu is way lower than it is in windows.......help please | 22:42 |
| country0129 | : Doc, I couldn't find "Windows Live Sign In Assistant" in any program removal service. I took off the Live Messenger thingy. And that recovered discovery to my Ubuntu machine, but it didn't work the other way. I'll look at that link so see if there's something I didn't see. | 22:42 |
| usr13 | marel: To install the way you are going about it, requires you to not have the Xserver running at the time. | 22:42 |
| chaospsychex | apparently my problem requires an advanced solution | 22:42 |
| goodtime | goto system prefrences monitor | 22:42 |
| Jeruvy | WillowRabbit: best to ask in #wine, but if it's relevent ask your question. | 22:42 |

| marel | usr13, yeah, so how do I do that ? | 22:42 |

| goodtime | np :) | 22:46 |
| allan_Trevisan | hi everybody | 22:46 |
| bastidrazor | usr13: why not stop the service instead of killing it. that could cause problems of its own the way you're suggesting. sudo service gdm stop/restart would be a better idea | 22:46 |

| prower | hello :> i'm trying to change the ip address of a second NIC to an internal address so i can set up a router...does anyone know offhand of a console command that would change the ip and keep those changes between reboots? i.e. would sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 be enough? | 22:47 |
| goodtime | idk but i bet its more than that | 22:48 |
| greezmunkey | prower: You would need to statically define it in /etc/network/interfaces - probably best in your case to statically define both interfaces there for your purposes. | 22:49 |
| prower | greezmunkey, ahh, okay...then restart networking and it should be fine, that works | 22:49 |
| greezmunkey | prower: mostly, you'll need to read up on resolv.conf as well | 22:50 |
| chull | these are the problems my husband has with his computer: http://chalcedony.pastebin.com/N3rqFriv | 22:51 |
| creepy | Hi all. I have am looking for a copy of the mouse driver package for a 2009 Mac Book Pro which is already in 10.10 and works quite well. So I can put that driver in another distro of Debian. | 22:51 |
| nesto1000_ | goodtime, one other quick question... how can i stream the audio over hdim too? | 22:52 |
| greezmunkey | prower: while you are at the reading thing, check into ufw, or if you are really adventurous iptables for Internet / network routing and firewall functionality | 22:54 |
| induz | My downloaded file is on my desktop | 22:54 |

| induz | I want it to be copied on /usr/share/StarDic/dic | 22:55 |
| country0129 | The changing the LAN security settings. | 22:55 |
| induz | How can I do that?? | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | country0129: ive seen a dozen + sites have different tricks/thangs to try. ive also heard theres some bugs in samba->windows that are to be fixed in the next samba updates. but not sure if those are in the updates for ubuntu schedule or not. | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | induz: sudo cp whatever whever | 22:56 |
| susanooh | induz: via cli? | 22:56 |
| country0129 | And this Ol' Charter 101 is making me not give a **** whether I fix it or not. | 22:56 |
| country0129 | Well, Mr. Doc, Sir....I'm as updated as one can get. If it's included, it ain't workin'/ | 22:56 |
| induz | yes via cli | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | country0129: for simple windows file transfers to/from linux - tend to use ssh/winscp. but that can be bothersom | 22:57 |
| KM0201 | samba is usually pretty easy | 22:57 |
| country0129 | yeah, explored that, too, and I pretty well came to the same conclucion. | 22:57 |
| Shadowww | Hi there, what does I-node count on a filesystem affects? | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: yep. but with each new reelase of windows - it seems to get harder and harder. | 22:57 |
| KM0201 | Dr_Willis: i dunno.. seems to work fine here at the compound | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Shadowww, i-nodes are where all file information is stored | 22:58 |
| mongy | chull, I have heard a few stories of users of 10.10 having issues. I think maybe 10.10 is more experimental than 10.04 for some.... did you try 10.04? | 22:58 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: untill it dosent work... then its a pain | 22:58 |
| Shadowww | ZykoticK9, so basically amount of files is what inode count affects? | 22:58 |
| country0129 | Uncabillieboygates prefers it to be "harder and harder"...'ceptin' when he's with what'shername. | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Shadowww, the amount of files are limited by the number of inodes... | 22:59 |
| Shadowww | ZykoticK9, oh, I see, thanks :) | 22:59 |
| chull | mongy: do you think these issues won't exist in 10.04? | 22:59 |
| country0129 | Can you say, "Conspiracy?" | 22:59 |
| mongy | chull, its hit and miss Im afraid as far as what works/doesnt...but 10.04 being a long term release, I would definately try it. | 23:00 |
| country0129 | New OS, bigger-more-powerful-more-expensive-hardware, developers ceasing to support older OS's still working, MS cutting off support....the dollar bill is the name of the game, and uncabillieboygates has plenty of 'em. | 23:01 |
| creepy | Hi all. I have am looking for a copy of the mouse driver package for a 2009 Mac Book Pro which is already in 10.10 and works quite well. So I can put that driver in another distro of Debian. | 23:01 |
| mongy | chull, not your particular problem, but I have seem a few more people than normal of late pipe up about some issue or other with 10.10 that never existed in 10.04 | 23:01 |
| creepy | Where are the packages already installed in 10.10 located and how do I dentify which one I need, thanks for help | 23:02 |
| country0129 | Synaptic Manager, Creepy? | 23:02 |
| creepy | yep | 23:02 |
| susanooh | creepy: gsypnaptics | 23:02 |
| country0129 | Well, open a terminal. | 23:02 |
| susanooh | is a configuration pkg for debian | 23:02 |
| chaospsychex | has anyone every ran two linux distros off one hd? | 23:02 |
| susanooh | I have | 23:02 |
| country0129 | Type apt-get update | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: most of that would be either in the kernel or in the xorg code. the synaptits tool lets you tweak the driver/modules a bit. | 23:03 |
| country0129 | (fixes the packages available) | 23:03 |
| susanooh | chaospsychex: I have. which two are you trying to run? | 23:03 |
| country0129 | Open the Synaptic Manager. | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | chaospsychex: thats doable. but you may need to hand-configure grub. | 23:03 |
| AkakuMatt | Just woundering if anyone knows of a full feture text editor that has better syntax highlighting than nano?? For instace nano does not highligh trings etc. i have tryed finding RC's that do it but have had no luck | 23:03 |
| country0129 | Do a search for what you want. | 23:03 |
| country0129 | Look at the description when you click it. | 23:03 |
| country0129 | Install what you want. | 23:03 |
| AkakuMatt | trings/string/strings | 23:04 |
| creepy | yes tried that. I see drivers for packages which were not alreadly installed. | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | AkakuMatt: for the console? or for X? the full 'vi' package can do highlighting, or theres geany | 23:04 |
| AkakuMatt | Command line | 23:04 |
| country0129 | Better command line options, but you want a li'l more experience to know what you need. | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | AkakuMatt: the full vim package, perhaps fte. or emacs. | 23:04 |
| country0129 | Google is your best friend. | 23:04 |
| creepy | I know nothing about the actual name. documentation does not list it for the apple pad | 23:04 |
| greezmunkey | country0129: try this form to see if it will connect, edit to suit your needs: sudo mount -t cifs //ipaddress/sharefolder ~/Share/ -o username=username,password=password,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 | 23:04 |
| susanooh | creepy: you are trying to install drivers on debian for it? | 23:05 |
| AkakuMatt | Emacs is very good but there is a command line emacs? i was not aware | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | AkakuMatt: emacs has been around longer then many os | 23:05 |
| creepy | Yes, I wanted to use Puppy Linux 5.11 on my mac book pro | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | s's have been. :) i think theres the emacs-nox package. | 23:05 |
| country0129 | I'll try it, Doc. | 23:05 |
| creepy | which is now has a version for Ubuntu. | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: puppy linux is a very weird linux in many ways. | 23:05 |
| marel | So basically I shut down serverX to install Nvidia drivers, I installed them, but how do I turn on serverX back on ?(I'm one live CD right now D:) | 23:05 |
| creepy | Yes. Puppy though makes a good web surfing machine | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | marel: why did you not use the nvidia drivers /addational drivers tool in the normal repositoiries? | 23:06 |
| susanooh | marel: startx | 23:06 |
| creepy | and it is easy to re-install the whole thing very quickly | 23:06 |
| shcherbak | creepy: any linux with browser does | 23:06 |
| susanooh | lol | 23:06 |
| AkakuMatt | Dr_Willis Thanks, i was not aware | 23:06 |
| creepy | ??? | 23:06 |
| creepy | Not quite. It takes like ten minuts to shut down and restart Ubuntu. Plus I lose my settings. And Ubuntu is not nearly as fast | 23:07 |
| cntb | outahere | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: puppy is also good at removeing lots of things.. that people occasionally want.. so it can be hard to dissect whats been hacked away from it. | 23:07 |
| creepy | Yes I agree. Puppy has things missing which nearly anyone would think should be there. | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: check out tinycorelinux :) but this is going to the Offtopic type discussion | 23:08 |
| chull | what are the ways to downgrade from 10.10 to 10.04? | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | chull: not relly | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | chull: backup stuff.. reinstall.. restore data | 23:08 |
| creepy | actually. I only want the ubuntu mouse driver for a mac book pro | 23:08 |
| shcherbak | creepy: up in 3.3 (seaved session) down 0.40... 10 minutes? | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: that would be the kernel and xorg drivers. | 23:08 |
| Maahes | !clone | 23:08 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:08 |
| chull | Dr_Willis: can the problems my husband is having with 10.10 be fixed? | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | chull: no idea. dont know what his problems are.. | 23:09 |
| creepy | depends on if you are completely restarting. I do not know what you are running. | 23:09 |
| susanooh | creepy: synaptics | 23:09 |
| chull | Dr_Willis: these are the problems my husband has with his computer: http://chalcedony.pastebin.com/N3rqFriv | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gsynaptics | 23:09 |
| susanooh | there you go | 23:09 |
| ubottu | gsynaptics (source: gpointing-device-settings): configuration tool for pointing devices (transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-2 (maverick), package size 3 kB, installed size 36 kB | 23:09 |
| creepy | Yes. I go to synaptics. which expects me to knowthe name | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | chull: you coudl summarize the problems a bit. | 23:09 |
| Pharanac | Anyone know a program or way to recursively walk directories and extract files to their own directory? It goes deep at least 10 steps and the files are lots of different compressions. Cant find anything on google or the repos to help | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: no.. the tool to configure the touchpad is called 'gsynaptics' | 23:09 |
| chull | Dr_Willis: i itemized them there | 23:09 |
| creepy | yes, that should help me find it. thanks | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | creepy: however in the lastest X versions theres been major changes to the touchpad drivers I recall. so if puppy is using older x versions or kernel versions. that may cause issues | 23:10 |
| Maahes | IIRC: Puppy and DSL use the 2.4 kernel | 23:11 |
| Maahes | so yeah they use older drivers. | 23:11 |
| creepy | no. puppy 5.1.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.9 | 23:12 |
| === dvs is now known as Guest61342 | ||
| Maahes | huh, whaddaya know | 23:12 |
| === Guest61342 is now known as davens | ||
| creepy | puppy uses now, latest kernel and is based on ubuntu. like the version just before 10.10 | 23:13 |
| Maahes | how big is puppy now? | 23:13 |
| creepy | before install. 120 MB or so. I hear i will install in 128 MB RAM | 23:14 |
| creepy | As I now have a lot more ram the size is not an issue | 23:14 |
| Maahes | okay, so yeah it has gone up. Old setup for puppy was like the default was 45mb, and the "bloated" version was 90. | 23:14 |
| marel | So basically I've killed serverx, deleted my video drivers, installed nvidia drivers and now can't startx. What do I do ? (I'm on live CD right now) | 23:15 |
| creepy | Uh, I think the goal was always fit in 128 MB. except for the leanest version of Puppy which was a very cut down version and quite often those with only 128 MB could in get it in | 23:15 |
| creepy | as the video drivers would take up just enough to keep it out. | 23:16 |
| creepy | so one would need a swap file or to have already have a pup save file created | 23:16 |
| country0129 | OK, Doc...you seen to be a very popular feller. If you remember the fix you sent me, evidently, I have spaces (etc) or something out of order. Hate to monopolize the window here. | 23:16 |
| creepy | thanks. I have a name I will go off and frustrate myself now. Happy chris-grinch to everyone. | 23:17 |
| marel | So basically I've killed serverx, deleted my video drivers, installed nvidia drivers and now can't startx. What do I do ? (I'm on live CD right now) | 23:18 |
| susanooh | marel: what errors does it give you when you try to startx | 23:18 |
| susanooh | and did you do nvidia-xconfig | 23:18 |
| xscroll | I'm trying to figure out what version my onboard video card is. what command can I run in the terminal? | 23:18 |
| AkakuMatt | Dr_Willis does emacs require adding incudes files that allow for better syntax highlighting | 23:19 |
| live-evil | lspci | 23:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | xscroll, "lspci | grep -i vga" | 23:19 |
| marel | susanooh: no, I didn't do that. It wass something about a mismatch of nvidia and kernel maybe, I'm not sure. It was something about configuration too. | 23:19 |
| itaylor57 | xscroll: lspci | 23:19 |
| xxmayhem714xx | can anyone help me, i want to kill Gnome screensaver and make xsreensaver the default.. i have followed tutorials but no luck | 23:19 |

| marel | aaaaaalright | 23:19 |
| susanooh | it needs sudo. | 23:19 |
| xscroll | ZykoticK9, itaylor57: that tells me what model of video card is plugged into my motherboard, but not the onboard video card model | 23:20 |

| xriva | if I drop ubuntu onto a dell machine (~6 years old) with a bare HD, will I have trouble finding drivers for integrated video / audio, and other mobo drivers ? | 23:44 |
| Maahes | xriva: no. | 23:44 |
| xriva | sweet | 23:44 |
| greezmunkey | xriva: I have a 600SC that it worked nicely on (very old) | 23:44 |
| Maahes | xriva: its more likely to have drivers than bleeding edge. Linux supports more hardware than any other system in existence. | 23:44 |
| xriva | my only experience with any unix was a class at college using bash shell | 23:45 |
| xriva | im considering migrating to a *nix or BSD system | 23:45 |

| xriva | thanks for the replys everyone | 23:45 |
| country0129 | Damnit, Doc...did the URL thingy that you sent me. That didn't work. Did the command line fix. That didn't work. Any other ideas how to fix: Networking? Dumber than a hoe handle: OK. Updated to latest kernel. If anyone can help me with this, PLEASE pm? Ubuntu, Windoze 7, HomeNetworking: works with exception to logging onto Windoze from Ubuntu. Nothing worked until I uninstalled Windoze Messenger from Windoze Live Essentials. | 23:45 |
| Maahes | country0129: ...logging onto windows with ubuntu? Wha? What do you mean exactly. | 23:46 |
| susanooh | Uh | 23:47 |
| susanooh | logging onto windows? | 23:47 |
| susanooh | wat | 23:47 |
| Maahes | country0129: and what exactly is the networking problem, what can you not do atm that you are trying to do. "Everything" doesn't narrow things down for us. | 23:47 |
| country0129 | Sharing. Have connectivity from Windows 7 to Ubuntu: can read shares. Copy, etc. But I keep getting a repetitive login screen while entering the correct ifo. | 23:47 |
| susanooh | Sharing over LAN? | 23:48 |
| country0129 | Only glitch is being able to login to Window 7 Pro with Ubuntu. No. Wireless. | 23:48 |
| Maahes | country0129: do you mean tunnelling internet access from windows to ubuntu? | 23:48 |
| greezmunkey | country0129: did you try the command line I sent you? | 23:48 |
| susanooh | country0129: then I know what you're dealing with. I've tried it, it refuses to work. | 23:48 |
| country0129 | Worked before after I deleted all of Windows Live Essentials. Wife insisted I reinstall them. Then nothing worked. Reinstalled and deleted only Messenger, and I have the present setting. | 23:49 |
| martin__ | i have a number of folders each containing multiple files formats... i want to copy the folders structure (all folders) and only files jpg which are inside them... how do i do this? any idea for a command line? cp -r */*.jpg /destination/ ? | 23:49 |
| country0129 | Greez...I guess I missed your message. Send it again? | 23:49 |
| Maahes | country0129: you're using very confusing terminology. Unless you're using a virtual machine or VNC: You can not run/log into windows from ubuntu. Not without using bizzare windows terminal services stuff. | 23:49 |
| greezmunkey | country0129: try this form to see if it will connect, edit to suit your needs: sudo mount -t cifs //ipaddress/sharefolder ~/Share/ -o username=username,password=password,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 | 23:49 |
| Pudabudigada | Helo | 23:49 |
| Pudabudigada | *ll | 23:49 |
| country0129 | I did it effectively without WLE, Maahes. | 23:50 |
| country0129 | Hey, Greez....do I need to put values in any of that? | 23:50 |
| Pudabudigada | I'm running Maverick on a P3 800Mghz, whenever I do anything other than let it idle CPU usage shoots to the 90% area | 23:50 |
| greezmunkey | country0129: of course :) edit to suit... | 23:50 |
| Maahes | country0129: I think what you mean is "establish access to", on the samba share. | 23:50 |
| Pudabudigada | I can't even run Open Sonic smoothly. | 23:51 |
| country0129 | <blush> | 23:51 |
| Maahes | Pudabudigada: Run Lubuntu | 23:51 |
| Maahes | !Lubuntu | 23:51 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 23:51 |
| _dev_null_ | /join #lubuntu | 23:51 |
| Pudabudigada | It's smooth enough with GNOME (faster than xfce was 0.o) | 23:52 |
| Pudabudigada | Until I do anything | 23:52 |
| Maahes | Pudabudigada: lxde is even less resource intensive | 23:52 |
| Pudabudigada | though oddly, youtube works pretty mucj fine | 23:52 |
| boa` | how do u temp root | 23:52 |
| boa` | su wont work | 23:52 |
| wingnut2626 | well you are running a 800mhz p3 | 23:52 |
| Maahes | xcfe isn't really less resource intensive than gnome | 23:52 |
| wingnut2626 | what do you expect, corvette speed? | 23:52 |
| Maahes | boa`: you don't. | 23:53 |
| boa` | well i tried to run this | 23:53 |
| boa` | http://pastebin.ca/2028562 | 23:53 |
| boa` | it says insufficnet permissions | 23:53 |
| boa` | if i run it with sudo | 23:53 |
| carandraug | Pudabudigada, it's LXDE. It's lighter than XFCE | 23:53 |
| boa` | it errors on adb | 23:53 |
| boa` | which i know is installed | 23:53 |
| FloodBot3 | boa`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:53 |
| Maahes | boa`: run that script again with sudo in front of it, and paste the output into pastebin | 23:54 |
| dnivra | boa`, maybe if you paste the script, someone might be able to help further. | 23:54 |
| Maahes | also what dnivra said | 23:54 |
| boa` | http://pastebin.ca/2028563 | 23:54 |
| boa` | heres the script | 23:55 |
| boa` | http://pastebin.ca/2028564 | 23:55 |

| boa` | $ which adb | 23:56 |
| boa` | /home/boakun/bin/adb | 23:56 |
| Pudabudigada | I don't think the environments the problem, it idles at ~20%, and Firefox, Xchat and Pidgin are ok, but as soon as I load a 2D game. Up to 90% | 23:56 |
| Maahes | boa`: echo $PATH | 23:56 |
