| PhonicUK | infid, if you have a netbook - i'd highly recommend it | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| PhonicUK | heck even for laptops i would | 00:00 |
| rww | oh. yeah, you need to be identified to join ##php, huh. | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | infid: the gnome panel in the netbook is locked but you can boot to the normal desktop, then dress it like the netbook remix for more control | 00:00 |

| GeekSquid | Mackbet: googleearth is available in the partner repository | 00:00 |
| aeon-ltd | !googleearth | 00:00 |
| ubottu | Google Earth is available as the package "googleearth-package" in !Multiverse. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth | 00:00 |
| infid | PhonicUK: i have a netbook and i have an old UNR install on it that i can barely stand because it forces me to use the lame menu thing, forget what it's calle. not the normal applications/places/system menu | 00:00 |
| trelayne | hey all, when rebooting our LTS server, mysql does not restart ... Anyone know where to start to figure out why it doesn't work? | 00:00 |
| rgb247 | thanks you | 00:00 |
| aeon-ltd | Mackbet: see above | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mongy: LXDE ftw :) | 00:00 |
| Mackbet | thx thx | 00:00 |
| amerinese | So I'm trying to configure networking for a virtual machine. I'd like to have one interface that is bridged and connects to the outside world and a host-only interface that only communicates with the host machine. How do I tell Ubuntu to use the first interface when trying to communicate with the outside world and not the host-only interface? | 00:01 |
| Jacruth | aeon-ltd, I did that, but know my Gnome Theme seems to be bugged. | 00:01 |
| PhonicUK | infid, I never tried UNR - but I like what I'm using now :) | 00:01 |
| aeon-ltd | Jacruth: explain more | 00:01 |
| GeekSquid | trelayne: what happens when you type /etc/init.d/mysql start | 00:01 |
| Jacruth | well, for example, my windows does not have X, aeon-ltd | 00:01 |
| Jacruth | also, they can't move | 00:01 |
| iNdO | rww, no thanks | 00:01 |
| Jacruth | but they can be minimizied | 00:01 |
| infid | PhonicUK: er, you just installed ubuntu normally on it? | 00:01 |
| GeekSquid | trelayne: with sudo | 00:01 |
| aeon-ltd | Jacruth: ok, press alt-f2, then type 'compiz --replace' then enter | 00:01 |
| rww | iNdO: Alrighty. This channel's for Ubuntu support, so please keep nonsense out of it. | 00:01 |
| trelayne | GeekSquid, it works | 00:01 |
| trelayne | GeekSquid, it tells me that the script has been changed to work with upstart | 00:02 |
| GeekSquid | trelayne: i still do things the old way | 00:02 |
| PhonicUK | infid, No I installed the new netbook version on it | 00:02 |
| paq7512 | does the alternate disc allow you to install more packages? | 00:02 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest55866 | ||
| infid | why do people type /etc/init.d/foo instead of 'service foo' | 00:03 |
| PhonicUK | infid, this one : http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download | 00:03 |
| infid | PhonicUK: i see, so the new one isnt called UNR? | 00:03 |
| rww | infid: because 'service' is relatively new | 00:03 |
| PhonicUK | infid, correct | 00:03 |
| PhonicUK | its now Ubuntu Netbook Edition | 00:03 |
| infid | cool! | 00:03 |
| infid | i'll have to try that thanks | 00:03 |
| GeekSquid | infid: like I said I still foo the old way | 00:03 |
| trelayne | GeekSquid, I know me too.. The thing is that when I reboot, mysql's down by default. I always issue the above command to get it going. But something is not work... my client's site was down for many hours because of this problem.. | 00:03 |
| PhonicUK | no worries | 00:03 |
| ccvp | mongy, ok lottanzb downloading my files now, whats a good utility that can handle all archives typically, such as rar files, that come as .r01, .r02, .rar, etc....and need something to handle parity files, is quickpar out for linux, or whats a good linux equivalent? with gui integration | 00:03 |
| === coaboa is now known as coaboa||away | ||
| PhonicUK | ive been using it on my Eee 701 and will be using it on my HP Mini when it arrives | 00:04 |

| === dnivra is now known as Guest79178 | ||
| infid | GeekSquid: old habits die hard | 00:04 |
| trelayne | GeekSquid, someting I did not notice was that the rcX/ scripts were not in place... so I ran a command to regenerate them... but still .. not working | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ccvp: fileroller can handle rar files once you install rar unrar p7zip-full and p7zip-rar | 00:04 |
| mongy | ccvp, it handles parity itself I think. | 00:04 |
| infid | i still type 'sudo shutdown -r now' to reboot | 00:04 |
| ccvp | fileroller has par integration? | 00:04 |
| ccvp | par2, etc, parity files | 00:04 |
| mongy | ccvp, pretty sure... ninan needs par2 package but I dont think lotta does | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ccvp: i believe so, install the packages and it should be ok | 00:05 |
| ccvp | sometimes onwin7 when i d/l rar files, they are corrupt, but i ran quickpar | 00:05 |
| ccvp | and it rebuilt the bad archives | 00:05 |
| ccvp | what app in linux can do that | 00:05 |
| GeekSquid | trelayne: perhaps backup your mysql databases, and reinstall mysql to get everything back where it should be | 00:05 |
| infid | what i was saying yesterday is how funny it is that coworkers and friends used to call me a dinosaur for using linux and now they are all on the bandwagon | 00:06 |
| mongy | ccvp, lotta, like ninan, only gets pars when needed, and auto repairs/extracts | 00:06 |
| Mackbet | On google site there is a downloadable version of google earth i downloaded it and can't install it and i allowed the file to be run as executable, how should i act to make it run? | 00:06 |
| infid | i thank ubuntu mostly for that | 00:06 |
| trelayne | GeekSquid, ok will try that .. I was trying to avoid but what can I do | 00:06 |
| ccvp | ahhhhh, http://parchive.sourceforge.net/ | 00:06 |
| aeon-ltd | Mackbet: ./nameoffileandpath | 00:06 |
| ccvp | same guy that made quickpar | 00:06 |
| mongy | ccvp, you dont need it | 00:06 |
| ccvp | ok | 00:06 |
| ccvp | lottanzab takes care of all this? | 00:06 |
| ccvp | if they are bad etc? | 00:06 |
| mongy | ccvp, yes. there is a par2 in the repo anyway.... | 00:06 |
| mongy | yes | 00:07 |
| ccvp | the interface to lottanzb is minimalist | 00:07 |
| GeekSquid | ccvp: please stop flooding... you are very heavy with the enter key, please write your responses all on one line so my page isn't moving a mile a minuite | 00:07 |
| mongy | only gets pars if damaged, repairs and extracts. | 00:07 |
| ccvp | squid of the geek, did you minimize your window to 80pixels by 80pixels, a square? :) | 00:07 |
| mongy | ccvp, well there is a web ui | 00:07 |
| aimio | how come still after disabling nautilus i can't change add interact with my desktop.. :S | 00:07 |
| ccvp | web ui? | 00:08 |
| mongy | ccvp, if using it with sabnzb | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Mackbet: chmod +x filenameyoudownloaded | 00:08 |
| ccvp | i just spawned a nzb i downloaded, and ubuntu auto ran lottanzb, so whts this web interface u speak of? | 00:08 |
| Mackbet | setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty | 00:08 |

| Mackbet | got this errors | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Mackbet: google-eacrth is available in the medibuntu repo | 00:08 |
| jon_athon | can I get nano to do automatic carriage returns? | 00:09 |
| mongy | ccvp, File - open web interface | 00:09 |
| _00111111 | Why do niggers exist? | 00:09 |
| ccvp | neat interface | 00:09 |
| mongy | ccvp, you can tell it to not auto repair/extract etc, its in the prefs. | 00:10 |
| jon_athon | so that I can write a paragraph instead of a single line that is 20 miles long | 00:10 |
| ccvp | if it can auto repair, before extraction, ill use that, that is good | 00:10 |
| GeekSquid | Mackbet: download this https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/direct/google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb ... does not need to be executible ... and will install with sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb | 00:10 |
| mongy | ccvp, it cant extract till par check is complete... | 00:10 |
| aimio | how come still after disabling nautilus i can't change add interact with my desktop.. :S | 00:10 |
| mongy | ccvp, incomplete par check = get pars | 00:10 |

| Dwade09 | what does it mean in synaptic package manager when you have a grey square with a ! in the middle beside the package? | 00:14 |
| Mackbet | Thx GeekSquid google earth is installed but don't launch | 00:15 |
| GeekSquid | Dwade09: that means it is installed, but there is a newer version available in your repository | 00:16 |
| Dwade09 | GeekSquid, so i just check them all and hit apply? | 00:16 |
| GeekSquid | Mackbet: yeah, I noticed, doesn't work here either | 00:16 |
| GeekSquid | Dwade09: the Mark All Upgrades will do the same thing, as will the Update Manager, same animal, different training | 00:17 |
| Mackbet | GeekSquid: There is a stable working version of google earth for ubuntu 10.10? | 00:17 |
| GeekSquid | Mackbet: let me get it working here, and I will instruct you | 00:18 |

| swim_ | hey all.. i'm thinkin' about different options for installing windows to run with my ubuntu.. i've got a laptop with two hard drives, has anybody heard of someone installing ubuntu to one hdd and windows on the other??? | 00:21 |
| aimio | is it not same login as when i login on my desktop :S | 00:21 |
| aeon-ltd | swim_: yes | 00:21 |
| aimio | hmm | 00:21 |
| aimio | strange | 00:21 |
| aeon-ltd | swim_: whatever boots first, just has to have grub entry to boot the other hdd | 00:21 |
| f10d0r | swim_ just installubuntu in one and windows leave in another | 00:21 |
| f10d0r | allmust work | 00:21 |
| Red_Tide | hey how do I get hdmi audio output to work | 00:22 |
| GeekSquid | Mackbet: the one from the multiverse repository works... I have it loaded, so, System>Admin>software sources ... checkbox universe and multiverse selected ... then reload in synaptic, then install googleearth | 00:22 |
| swim_ | okay.. so, i've got ubuntu installed already to sda1.. i will have to do something to grub to show windows on sda2??? | 00:22 |
| f10d0r | swim_ need reload grub | 00:23 |
| Dwade09 | thank you GeekSquid but there was no mark all upgrade i had to do it by hand. | 00:23 |
| f10d0r | reinstall grub | 00:23 |
| luxurymode | Anyone know of an auto-text completion tool that would play nice in Ubuntu? | 00:23 |

| Dwade09 | thanks GeekSquid ill mess with it in a bit | 00:26 |
| arvut | hiya, grub2 question here.. | 00:27 |
| GeekSquid | !ask | arvut | 00:27 |
| ubottu | arvut: 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. :-) | 00:27 |
| keith- | GeekSquid: so if i have a lappy that came with 4 beforehand for win7 and backup utility... not much i can do then? | 00:27 |
| DreamsAreGrand | DysonReturns: everyone is my friend | 00:27 |
| DreamsAreGrand | Can you build eveyting on your ubnutu system from source, like in gentoo? | 00:27 |
| rww | keith-: 4 primary partitions (including 1 extended partition, if you want it). Unlimited logical partitions within an extended partition. | 00:27 |
| arvut | patience, GeekSquid i know the rules. i wasnt asking. just preparing it | 00:28 |
| arjen1 | I just setup arno's ip tables FW.... but now I cannot see my server on the windows computers in my network. Is there somebody with some experience on this topic that could maybe help me out? Cheers! | 00:28 |
| arjen1 | btw hello people!! | 00:28 |
| GeekSquid | keith-: unless you want to delete win7? no | 00:28 |
| f10d0r | DreamsAreGrand, yes you can, faster from deb :) | 00:28 |
| keith- | GeekSquid: yeah don't want to do that yet. | 00:29 |
| kcorcoran | mongy: you still here? | 00:29 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, somewhat | 00:29 |
| DreamsAreGrand | f10d0r: why do you say faster? | 00:29 |
| GeekSquid | keith-: got a usb harddrive laying around? | 00:29 |
| arvut | anyway, if i have a winxp install on sda1 and ubuntu on sdb1, 2 and 5.. where do i reinstall grub2? | 00:29 |
| aimio | GeekSquid, is it metacity or nautilus i'm suppose to change something to get a normal desktop.. "i want to interact".. | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DreamsAreGrand: you can use apt-build if you like, its similar to emerge | 00:29 |
| kcorcoran | mongy: i am on the 3rd atep and received a "cannot access createMYSQLDB.sh: no such file or directory" error - i assume i need to load mysql? | 00:30 |
| f10d0r | DreamsAreGrand, because you can install just by command apt-get install or dpkg -i you don't need compile :) | 00:30 |
| GeekSquid | aimio: not really sure what you mean or what you have done, and I am not about to "fix" a borked system, ... best bet: install with the desktop install disk as opposed to unr | 00:30 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, ignore that step | 00:31 |
| Mackbet | GeekSquid: The result that i got seems to be different from your point of view idk i don't find what you expect to | 00:31 |
| aimio | GeekSquid, it's a simple question notting is broken, i just cant put any icons etc on the desktop. or so on.. | 00:31 |
| GeekSquid | aimio: you are still in UNR, or gnome? | 00:32 |
| aimio | ubuntu-desktop. | 00:32 |
| aimio | gnome*. | 00:32 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, that file does not exist no more I think | 00:32 |
| DreamsAreGrand | this may seem like a stuipd question, but while I run apt-get install, and my system downloads a package, sometimes it will freeze up (due to my network conditions) and I have to ctrl+c each time to make the download start again. Is there anyway I can automate this behivaor? | 00:32 |
| GeekSquid | aimio: sounds borked to me | 00:32 |
| Red_Tide | hey I am trying to get hdmi audio output working on my bros laptop | 00:33 |

| DreamsAreGrand | az | 00:33 |
| Mackbet | GeekSquid: i have ubuntu 10.10 italian verision does it change the result that i get on synaptic package menager? | 00:34 |
| f10d0r | DreamsAreGrand, maybe you need for this: sudo apt-get install -f | 00:34 |
| Red_Tide | GeekSquid: do I have to be root? | 00:34 |
| nawk | does GRUB require a specific partition type, if I want to put the /boot/grub/* stuff on a different partition? | 00:34 |
| GeekSquid | Mackbet: I know nothing of the italian version.. can't help there | 00:34 |
| aeon-ltd | Xpistos: if they are in the same place (as in characters) then a batch renamer can do it | 00:34 |
| GeekSquid | Red_Tide: sudo makes you root | 00:34 |
| Red_Tide | yeah I know do I have to run alsamixer as root thought? | 00:35 |
| Red_Tide | the issue is I do not know my bros password | 00:35 |
| GeekSquid | Red_Tide: you can try it without, some systems are different | 00:35 |

| superfatass | hey guys. Due to my network, while running apt-get install, the download will stall out. I have to press ctrl+c each time to reset it and make it download again. Is there anyway I can automate this? | 00:38 |
| superfatass | also if I run a ping in the background, the downloads won't stall | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | superfatass: are you connecting wired or wirelessly? | 00:38 |
| superfatass | ActionParsnip: wireless | 00:38 |

| PhonicUK | I hate the ubuntu documentation | 00:39 |
| PhonicUK | i really do | 00:39 |
| GeekSquid | shaggy2: that question isn't approiate for this channel, perhaps ask in ##php or ##php5 ... technically php is the perl hypertext preprocessor, so I don't see an issue with what you just said | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | PhonicUK: most is in wiki form so you can update it | 00:39 |
| PhonicUK | yeah i know | 00:39 |
| BigNig8846 | I'm a Ubuntu beginner. I booted the CD-ROM and came to a login prompt. Is there a default login ID and password I need to enter? | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | PhonicUK: so instead of moaning which does nothing, make changes | 00:39 |
| superfatass | ActionParsnip: actually I am connected to a router that is using dd-wrt to use client mode to connect to another wifi network | 00:39 |
| PhonicUK | I plan to :P | 00:40 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, getting on ok? | 00:40 |
| PhonicUK | point is that Canonical should be updating the important stuff | 00:40 |
| idreamincode | happy new year everyone | 00:40 |
| kcorcoran | mongy: i have created the nohop.desktop file and saved to my desktop. i tried the chmod command and it states no such file or access. i can see the file on my desktop? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | PhonicUK: they do, but you should too. problem solved :) | 00:40 |
| rww | PhonicUK: User documentation is almost entirely volunteer-driven. | 00:40 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, again, that file no longer exists | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | superfatass: i'd look into your wireless chip, see if there are any bugs logged or fixes, sounds like the interface has issues with dead time (as the ping makes it ok) | 00:41 |
| shaggy2 | GeekSquid: sorry I typed into the wrong channel I was meaning to type it into the PHPFreaks help chan. opps mybad, I really should goto bed been playing with this server for 34 hours, now have it fullyworking once again thanks for all your help everyone | 00:41 |
| GeekSquid | shaggy2: no problem, get some rest, and happy new year | 00:41 |
| traceto | I have two users on my computer and we can call them user1 and user2, how can i do so user1 have full permisions in user2:s home dir? | 00:42 |
| shaggy2 | thanks u 2 | 00:42 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, its based on an old version, so some things might be different/not there | 00:42 |
| superfatass | ActionParsnip: Its a buffalo wireless router running DD-wrt, a version of linux | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | superfatass: the router is moot right now, you need the wireless chip in the system. | 00:43 |
| kcorcoran | mongy: okay, when i ran the launcher and browsed to the page "unable t connect" it would appear it didn't launch | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | superfatass: i'm aware of dd-wrt | 00:43 |
| GeekSquid | traceto: if user1 is the administrator, you can use gksudo nautilus to access user2's home | 00:43 |

| traceto | GeekSquid: I know... But i don't have any graphical environment on the machin.... | 00:45 |
| superfatass | ActionParsnip: so should I check dd-wrt's log files? | 00:45 |
| Xpistos | aeon-ltd: it is in several different folders | 00:45 |
| GeekSquid | traceto: well sudo will get you into the directory sudo cd ~/user2 | 00:45 |
| BigNig8846 | I'm an Ubuntu beginner. I booted the CD-ROM and came to a login prompt. Is there a default login ID and password I need to enter? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | superfatass: worth a look, also run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line for the wireless to see if its a known issue with the chip | 00:45 |
| traceto | GeekSquid: so sudo is the only way? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | BigNig8846: press CTRL+ALT+F2 and run: passwd ubuntu set the pass then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in | 00:46 |
| arvut | how do I ignore joins/quits in irssi? "/ignore JOINS" & "/ignore QUITS" doesn't seem to work :( | 00:46 |
| Xpistos | I want to delete (Vol.####) and (#### Series) from like 10,000 file names | 00:46 |
| GeekSquid | traceto: not the only way, but easier than the workarounds | 00:46 |
| cache_surplus | arvut: its not a cmd | 00:46 |
| Guest96010 | Hey, is this the proper place to ask for ubuntu support questions? | 00:46 |
| traceto | GeekSquid: hmm... okey, how works the workarounds? :p | 00:46 |
| cache_surplus | well im sure it is, but in gui its in the settings somewhere | 00:46 |
| NixGeek | traceto, add user1 to user2's group bu running <usermod -a -G user2 user1> and then <chmod -R g+w /home/user2> | 00:47 |
| arvut | hmm.. thought it was, i'm sure its something like it as i have done it before.. | 00:47 |
| aeon-ltd | Xpistos: but the dates in the filenames are in the same format for all? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: i'd ask in #bash it can be done | 00:47 |
| mongy | arvut, irc conf mode | 00:47 |
| === adrian is now known as Guest8953 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Guest8953: yes this is the official ubuntu support channel | 00:47 |
| Guest8953 | this irc channel is a blessing. guys, ive downloaded the falling sand game.. how to launch it,? | 00:47 |
| NixGeek | traceto, I did forget you have to sudo both commands | 00:47 |
| Xpistos | aeon-ltd: Roughly they are (Vol.####) and (#### Series) but the year ranges from 1938 - 2011 | 00:48 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: yes | 00:48 |
| Xpistos | aeon-ltd: But yes the format is the same | 00:48 |
| Guest96010 | great | 00:48 |
| traceto | NixGeek: okey, but if i add user1 to user2's group way i need to chmod the folder? | 00:48 |
| KM0201 | Guest8953: falling sand? can you elaborate? | 00:48 |
| Guest96010 | well I just installed ubuntu fresh on my computer, now I also want to put windows 7 on it just to be safe. So what is better - dual boot or virtualization with VMware? | 00:48 |
| Guest96010 | Oh and I am a noob :) | 00:49 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: that really depends on why you need Windows.. if you're a gamer, dual boot | 00:49 |
| NixGeek | traceto, because the group only has access to the files unless you chmod it to allow read write and executre | 00:49 |
| Guest96010 | not really, just to run some programs which run on windows, thatz all | 00:49 |
| GeekSquid | traceto: setting group permissions on the home folder of user2 to admin | 00:49 |
| Guest8953 | its called the powder toy, really small | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest96010: depends on what you need windows for... | 00:49 |
| mongy | kcorcoran, need me to run thru it with it? | 00:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Xpistos: then a script can be written, ask in bash, it'll probably a chain of something like mv filenamedate.* filename* | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest96010: then virtualize, you can run them in seamless mode too (looks better) | 00:50 |
| Guest96010 | well, I just need it to run some programs which I can't on Ubuntu yet, so not too much excessive use | 00:50 |
| Re1ndeer | hello, everyone. Having some trouble signing the code of conduct . After I enter the command into the terminal and get the file, I get this error message when I try to open the signed file. "There is no application installed for PGP/MIME-encrypted message header files". | 00:50 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: powertoy is fairly small if i recall.. so you should probably be ok on Windows... really as long as you're not using anything w/ heavy 3D, you'l probalby have good luck w/ a virtual install, i know i have | 00:50 |
| GeekSquid | Guest96010: virtualbox might be a better option than VMware | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest96010: you will be running both OSes at the same time so will chew your CPU / RAM a bit more but if its a rare occurrence I'd say go for it | 00:50 |
| kcorcoran | mongy: if you have the time, that'd be great!! | 00:50 |
| traceto | NixGeek: okey :) but if I create some files with user1 in user2's home dir have user2 permission to the file then? | 00:51 |
| mongy | ok | 00:51 |
| Guest96010 | great, how do I go about it, first I need to grab the torrent for windows online, but I am lost, what is the ubuntu alternative for utorrent? | 00:51 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: i agree w/ GeekSquid .. Vbox is quite a bit easier to set up than vmware (IMO) | 00:51 |
| * skraito say hi all | 00:51 | |
| LinusT | Guest96010: I'll pretend you didn't tell us what you're downloading. Use deluge. | 00:51 |
| arvut | gonna ask again then, where should grub2 be reinstalled if i have windows xp on sda1 and ubuntu on sdb1, 2 & 5? at the moment only windows boots as i had to repair it using the rescue cd. mbr is on sda, right? | 00:51 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: transmission, its already installed... application/internet/transmission | 00:51 |
| Guest96010 | alright, I'll get to that in a bit, first I need the windows torrent and need to burn that image on to a CD | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest96010: ubuntu comes with transmission by default | 00:51 |
| Guest96010 | SO where do I start from | 00:51 |
| LinusT | Transmission's good too. | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest96010: you'll need to install virtualbox-ose in ubuntu then use a legal install media and valid license and you can install windows | 00:52 |
| GeekSquid | Guest96010: virtualbox will load the windows.iso directly, you don't need to burn it | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | LinusT: it may not be illegal.. he could be downloading an ISO, and using his windows key.. i've actually repaired computers w/ fubar'd restore partitions, many times like this. | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | but.... then again | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | lol | 00:52 |
| arvut | I just want to be sure, so that i dont screw it up even further and require a full reinstall.. | 00:52 |
| linxeh | or install virtualbox from the Virtualbox site if you dont care about the OSE issues and want USB support etc | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: yup, just boot the ISO, no need ot burn it. | 00:53 |
| LinusT | KM0201: Marginal cases are the refuge of the scoundrel. (...said LinusT the TrueCrypt user!) | 00:53 |
| KM0201 | LinusT: :) | 00:53 |
| Guest96010 | well, itz downloading right now, so I'll have to wait for a bit before installing | 00:53 |
| Guest96010 | Does it have to be a legit copy to run on VBox? | 00:54 |
| LinusT | I'm loving how snappy my VMs are with Intel VT features. | 00:54 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: to discuss it here it does.. :) | 00:54 |
| traceto | Hello, I running ssh on one of my machines and i have only one user with i weak password.... What is the most secure and best way to connect to the machine? create a new user with a strong password then only let that user connect to the machine? or can I find better ways? | 00:54 |
| NixGeek | traceto, yes, you will, but there aren't many elegant solutions unless you log in as the user. you could use <su user2> to log in to user2's account from the command line, but then you don't have graphics. for me this wouldn't a be a problem, but or you it might be. | 00:54 |
| Guest96010 | Ah ok | 00:54 |
| Guest96010 | got it | 00:54 |
| keith- | so i have an issue. i really would like to install ubuntu netbook edition. however, i am fairly certain the ati opensource drivers are locking up my system at random times. i resized and formatted my hdd but i cant keep it going long enough to actually install | 00:54 |
| arvut | Guest96010: utorrent works under ubuntu too iirc. pirated software is forbidden to discuss here and please choose a nick ;) | 00:54 |
| Guest96010 | right I'll get to that | 00:55 |
| keith- | furthermore, when i used to use linux, i used the proprietary driver to get around this. i can't do that with a live disk | 00:55 |
| KM0201 | Guest96010: send me a PM when you get a minute... | 00:55 |
| xangua | keith-: then install the closed source driver | 00:55 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| xangua | keith-: ooh, see | 00:55 |
| NixGeek | keith-, I've never had a problem with the open source drives, it's the proprietary (that I have to use for dual monitors) that gives me problems | 00:55 |
| daftykins | keith-: so you don't get a working live environment long enough to be able to install? | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | keith-: you could blacklist the driver and use vesa til you work out whats what | 00:55 |
| keith- | daftykins: right. | 00:56 |
| keith- | ActionParsnip: sounds great. how can i do that on a usb disk without saving capabilities... | 00:56 |
| daftykins | hmm wonder if there's a way to boot with no X through a boot entry | 00:56 |
| daftykins | +edit | 00:56 |
| keith- | i would use the alternate cd, but there isn't one for the netbook remix. | 00:57 |
| daftykins | keith-: ridiculous idea, can you keep hitting ctrl+alt+f1 and stop X? :D | 00:57 |
| NixGeek | keith-, a non-graphical install might work. | 00:57 |
| xangua | keith-: use minimal then and install ubuntu-netbook & propietary driver | 00:57 |
| daftykins | keith-: you should be able to just install the package for netbook remix through an install image as NixGeek suggests, text installer route | 00:57 |
| GeekSquid | arvut: microsoft doesn't mind if you download their software, just so long as you have legit licences ... and most of us do ... we buy a computer with win7 on it, it didn't come with disks, so we download a copy and use the key that came with the machine... | 00:57 |
| keith- | guess i'll do that then | 00:57 |
| keith- | thanks guys. | 00:57 |
| daftykins | good luck! | 00:58 |

| Da_Rhyno | Hey people! =D I'm new to ubuntu/linux and I have a few questions... | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: ask away | 01:00 |
| rww | CP-Knox: Hi. You have a script that issues CTCP requests in response to the !ping trigger. Talking scripts are banned on this channel (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines ); please disable it and let me know when you've done so. | 01:00 |
| sutabi | ActionParsnip: 3.6Ghz / AMD Athlon II X3 445 / 3.6 GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive however its virtually sittong at zero CPU | 01:01 |
| === Guest96010 is now known as junius_lt | ||
| hellhound | GeekSquid: it only shows the primary monitor and detect displays does not help either :( | 01:02 |
| crf | How do I mount a cdrfs cdrom | 01:02 |
| Da_Rhyno | One question is I am using a standard laptop (not a netbook). Should I use the Desktop Ubuntu download or the netbook download? Also, I want to do a dual boot with my current OS (Windows 7), so I guess I'm supposed to download the Windows installer for it, right? And how safe is it to dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows? | 01:02 |
| daftykins | Da_Rhyno: i wouldn't recommend WUBI, download a CD image and burn a CD, or put it on a flash drive with 'unetbootin' | 01:03 |
| GeekSquid | hellhound: is there a display plugged into the port? if not it won't detect | 01:03 |
| sutabi | Da_Rhyno: Windows installer makes Ubuntu work in windows so it never touches your Hard Drive partitions | 01:03 |
| clemenstimpler | @ Da_Rhyno nevertheless another standard recommendation: backup your windows partition. | 01:04 |
| Da_Rhyno | I just did a backup of my HD, just in case. | 01:04 |
| clemenstimpler | ;) | 01:04 |
| hellhound | GeekSquid: yes both monitors are connected and powered up. I have two GeForce 8600GT cards and each monitor is connected to the DVI port | 01:04 |
| Da_Rhyno | So the Windows Installer doesn't really install the OS to my system, it just installs a Windows program which emulates a system with Ubuntu, right? | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: win7 can resize its own partitions, this will make unpartitioned space you can install ubuntu to and not use wubi | 01:05 |
| sutabi | Da_Rhyno: Then install the ISO from USB or CD, Ubuntu will guide you through reparitioning your windows system so you cvan get both on | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: also remember to MD5 test the ISO you download | 01:05 |
| sutabi | Da_Rhyno: Windows installer is not an enumlator but running uder windows file system which is a lot slower then running under its down | 01:05 |
| Da_Rhyno | Ah, I see... | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: wubi makes a file in your ntfs partition and install ubuntu to that so it will be directly affected by the fragmentation which ntfs is very prone to | 01:06 |
| daftykins | it's more a problem to fix when it inevitably goes wrong :) | 01:06 |
| sutabi | under its down = own, windows uses NTSF, ubuntu uses an array of them likx EXT3 and EXT4 | 01:06 |
| Da_Rhyno | Ah, I see... | 01:07 |
| clemenstimpler | Da_Rhyno, just google "wubi troubles" - you'll get a lot of hits | 01:07 |
| Da_Rhyno | Thanks! | 01:07 |
| Da_Rhyno | how safe is it to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, though? | 01:07 |
| Da_Rhyno | Like, what are the chances of me losing my Windows Partition? | 01:07 |
| cache_surplus | Da_Rhyno: never dual boot | 01:07 |
| sutabi | As safe your hardrive being currupt | 01:08 |
| arvut | oh well, ill go play some russian roulette with my hdd's then. noone appears to have the answer im looking for.. :( | 01:08 |

| krogers0001 | what theme do you guys recommend with ubuntu 10.04? | 01:09 |
| realubot | I had problem using Ubuntu installed at a USB Flash Drive. Something happend after a couple of boots that destroyed the Grub thing. Is there any great way of installing Ubuntu onto a USB Flash Drive (not Ubuntu Live but the REAL Ubuntu)? | 01:09 |
| aimio | anyone know how to fix so that you can right click and add stuff onto the desktop. "forgot how to do this", .. it's disabled for me.. | 01:09 |
| Da_Rhyno | So I think I shall dual boot. | 01:10 |
| tomoyat1 | Da_Rhyno:Go for it! | 01:10 |
| krogers0001 | i guess i'll keep the default theme | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | aimio: if you install ubuntutweak it has a nice nautilus scripts section you can add junk like that with | 01:10 |
| arvut | krogers0001: dont see how thats relevant to support, unless you elaborate on your needs/requirements. | 01:11 |
| clemenstimpler | Da_Rhyno: "BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. " (http://linux.about.com/od/ubupck_doc/a/ubupg31t13.htm) | 01:11 |
| Da_Rhyno | The only reason I'm worried about it is I tried Debian a while back, and did a dual boot on my old machine, and after a few tries, completely lost Windows. | 01:11 |
| clemenstimpler | ;) | 01:11 |
| sutabi | aimio: sounds like you did something disabled your desktop from gconf-editor | 01:11 |
| krogers0001 | oh sorry arvut you're absolutely right | 01:11 |
| Da_Rhyno | (Mind you, I hardly used any of the *nix commands, just the gnome gui) | 01:11 |
| cache_surplus | best thing that could ever happen to you, Da_Rhyno | 01:11 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip, hi, as it turns out the liveUSB I created using Unversal USB Installer was not a | 01:11 |
| mdg2 | hello | 01:12 |
| nawk | persistent one | 01:12 |
| Da_Rhyno | Lol, not when all my important docs were on my Windows partition | 01:12 |
| tomoyat1 | Da_Rhyno: You won't need to use the command line in ubuntu. | 01:12 |
| danjoy | :) | 01:12 |
| cache_surplus | you would have lost them eventually Da_Rhyno | 01:12 |
| aimio | ActionParsnip, thanks i will check it out.. | 01:12 |
| arvut | krogers0001: im curious tho, what are your needs/req? any way i can help? | 01:12 |
| clemenstimpler | @ cache_surplus: Don't make it sound like this is an intended result... ;) | 01:12 |
| cache_surplus | your using windoze as your primary os | 01:12 |
| mdg2 | I upgraded a couple of packages via opt and with to revert back to the previous version - is that possible via CLI? | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nawk: hmm, it should still allow you to install stuff in the live environment, just that the changes won't stick after a reboot | 01:12 |
| okapi | anyone knows how to fix a broken synaptic on ubuntu 10.04? | 01:13 |
| cache_surplus | always do back ups frequently, this is 2011, everyone should have a storage box/external drive | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mdg2: what did you install? | 01:13 |
| cache_surplus | no excuse | 01:13 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip: Nope. It would NOT allow me to install stuff | 01:13 |
| Da_Rhyno | Yeah, honestly because the more important stuff I use (Steam & associated games, Skype) don't run on Linux. | 01:13 |
| cache_surplus | skype runs fine on linux | 01:13 |
| cache_surplus | so do games | 01:13 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip: Here is what I find and I would like to share with you | 01:13 |
| cache_surplus | all my important stuff runs fine on linux | 01:14 |
| mdg2 | ActionParsnip, four updates for enlighttenment | 01:14 |
| cache_surplus | if you need help with things, just ask in here, Da_Rhyno | 01:14 |
| Da_Rhyno | Thanks Cache. | 01:14 |
| Da_Rhyno | Is there a way to run steam in ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| Da_Rhyno | j/w | 01:14 |
| sutabi | Da_Rhyno: can attempt with WINE but its not a sure thing | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: yep, it runs in wine | 01:15 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip: Previously, I could not install or do anyting b/c the system ('/', the aufs filesystem) was COMPLELETLY out of space. | 01:15 |
| cache_surplus | Da_Rhyno: first of all, what is steam and what does it do | 01:15 |
| arvut | Da_Rhyno: skype runs perfectly fine under ubuntu 8.04 and upwards, and maybe you'll discover something new while trying ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| sutabi | cache_surplus: its a hub for games | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: its how folks play counterstrike and half-life online | 01:15 |
| Da_Rhyno | yeah... namely I play TF2/TFC though. | 01:15 |
| Da_Rhyno | :) | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: same engine | 01:16 |
| Da_Rhyno | yeah, it's all source. | 01:16 |
| Da_Rhyno | Except for the old stuff... | 01:16 |
| Da_Rhyno | GoldSrc | 01:16 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip: Now that I have chosen to create a Persistent LiveUSB with 1GB allocated, there is alot of free stuff (only 2% used vs. the previously 100% used) | 01:16 |
| cache_surplus | id much rather run virtualbox than a wine or windows emulator | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nawk: awesome, looks like a winner to me :) | 01:16 |
| arvut | ActionParsnip: its abit more than that, but yes, those games are in it. | 01:16 |
| cache_surplus | than dual boot | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | arvut: true but it gave a clear enough idea of what the dealio was :) | 01:17 |
| arvut | see http://steampowered.com | 01:17 |
| cache_surplus | id much rather only use linux and wait for whatever you need to be cloned by linux devs | 01:17 |
| cache_surplus | than get viruses again | 01:17 |
| cache_surplus | or take 5 mins to be on the internet | 01:17 |
| cache_surplus | or pay for antivirus or software | 01:18 |
| Da_Rhyno | Honestly, I like the way linux is laid out. | 01:18 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip: So, whether one chooses to create a persistent LiveUSB, there's STILL gonna be a casper-rw ext3 partion. I guess the aufs system uses (overlays ?????) the ext3 casper-rw filsystem | 01:18 |
| cache_surplus | i been windoze free for 5 years now | 01:18 |
| Da_Rhyno | It's similar to Mac/Android | 01:18 |
| arvut | ActionParsnip: there are countless of users who doesnt tho, but fps games are probably the most common genre. i only use it as a chatsystem nowadays | 01:18 |
| cache_surplus | Da_Rhyno: are you a noob? | 01:18 |
| mdg2 | ActionParsnip, I have my history.log for apt - any hints how to go about undoing the upgrade of those four packages in enlightment? | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: TFC was waaay better before all this steam nonesense, when counterstrike was a mod, more playable. Used to use uni connection and use 250Mb zip disks to transfer it :) | 01:18 |
| cache_surplus | to unices | 01:18 |
| Da_Rhyno | Action - WONSwap FTW. | 01:19 |
| nawk | ActionParsnip: the default size (when "No Persistence" is chosen) for casper-rw is 128MB | 01:19 |
| Da_Rhyno | Lol, cool. | 01:19 |
| Da_Rhyno | cache - noob to linux? yes. | 01:19 |
| arvut | !noob | Da_Rhyno | 01:20 |

| ActionParsnip | superfatass: if you wanted a desktop OS, why didnt you install the desktop system?? | 01:21 |
| mdg2 | ActionParsnip, bummer! one of these four packages took awy my ability to shutdown from anything other than CLI - not to nice in enlightenment | 01:21 |
| desur | I'm wondering where the empathy saves changes made. If I'm in Preferences, Theme and change the subject, where it is saved? | 01:22 |
| superfatass | ActionParsnip: because I changed my mind about what I want to run on it | 01:22 |
| Da_Rhyno | So let me get this straight... | 01:22 |
| red2kic | cctx005: You still haven't seen everything. :( | 01:22 |
| clemenstimpler | @ splitwire: someone did. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341366 | 01:22 |
| clemenstimpler | :) | 01:22 |
| cctx005 | I sort of expected a completely un-beginner friendly mostly command line type of OS | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | superfatass: i'd recommend downloading and installing the desktop OS, much easier. You can instal ubuntu-desktop package but you will have server stuff which wont get used | 01:23 |
| cctx005 | I tried LInux years ago...I didn't enjoy the experience | 01:23 |
| Da_Rhyno | I want to do a dual boot with Windows. I have a 4GB USB stick | 01:23 |
| fabounet | test | 01:23 |
| splitwire | clemenstimpler - thanks | 01:23 |
| superfatass | ActionParsnip: Im installing apt-get install firefox and I notice it is installing synaptic as well | 01:23 |
| clemenstimpler | you're welcome | 01:23 |
| Da_Rhyno | What do I do? | 01:23 |
| red2kic | cctx005: There are hundred thousand commands available. You DON'T have to know them all. You only need to know what you are looking for (to get it done). | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: you can usethe 1-2-3 usb installer from pendrivelinux or unetbootin to put the ISO on the USB to install with | 01:23 |
| goetter | can anyone recommend a performant pcmcia nic that works great with ubuntu? | 01:23 |
| goetter | my laptop/server's built in ethernet card is shot | 01:24 |

| cctx005 | well Google has been my friend | 01:24 |

| mdg2 | goetter, how about USB? | 01:24 |
| goetter | usb would be okay; i assumed pcmcia is more performant | 01:24 |
| red2kic | cctx005: The same thing can be said for websites. You don't have to look at them all. ;) If you have anything you want to know, ask away. :) | 01:24 |
| Da_Rhyno | ActionParsnip - Which is the preferred method if I'm to dual boot, though? or does it not matter? | 01:24 |
| goetter | I know about supported hardware list, I'm looking for a specific recommendation :> | 01:24 |
| cctx005 | I wish I could learn enough to go Linux-only...but I think games will keep Vista installed | 01:25 |

| cache_surplus | grub2 grub 1 whatever, its just the packagers of ubuntu have decided to add a script to do something that didn't need fixing | 01:28 |

| ubottu | trelayne: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 01:28 |

| cctx005 | this might be a dumb question...but what is the benefit to running Ubuntu as the only OS on my machine vs a dual-boot with Vista? | 01:29 |

| Da_Rhyno | Okay... | 01:33 |
| cache_surplus | thanks... | 01:33 |
| Da_Rhyno | I downloaded the Universal USB Installer from the Ubuntu website. | 01:33 |
| cctx005 | I'm still new so I'm not sure...how different are some of the big distros (OpenSUSE, Fedora etc..)? I jumped on Ubuntu out of advice from a friend...I'm just not sure if there is something I'm missing by not trying other distros | 01:33 |
| Da_Rhyno | (from the link on the ubuntu website) | 01:34 |
| clemenstimpler | cctx005, this very much depends on what you use your pc for | 01:34 |
| GeekSquid | cctx005: missing? maybe frustration... I find ubuntu to be alot less frustrating than other distros | 01:34 |
| mdg2 | Da_Rhyno, can you post the link here? | 01:34 |
| Da_Rhyno | And then I chose Ubuntu 9.10 /10.04.1 Desktop i386. I checked the checkbox to download ISO | 01:35 |

| Mouldy | hey guys. I've been having problems with blocks appearing instead of certain gtk elements. I've played with gtk-demo and have narrowed the problems down to hyperlinks and single/double underlining. Here's a couple of screenshots to show what I mean; http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=3021 , http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=3022 - does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm using ubuntu 10.04 | 01:35 |
| KM0201 | cctx005: you can try others of course, but really, ubuntu is by far the most user friendly.. definitely moreso than fedora or opensuse IMO.. | 01:35 |
| trelayne | Ok my problem is that mysql does not start on reboot. It tried purging and reinstalling mysql. But it didn't work. THen I looked around more and it appears it could be this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/610085 Seems there is something wrong with the upstart file /etc/init/mysql.conf | 01:36 |

| Dr_Willis | lano: so its part of the nfs service that you installed? | 01:44 |
| Da_Rhyno | One reason I gave up on Linux was when I first started, the community treated newbies like crap. | 01:44 |
| lano | well rpc_statd is in /sbin | 01:44 |
| ribatejoluso | I have in ubuntu usersettings under system | 01:45 |

| Dr_Willis | i think needed some command line option with wine to install properly | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: your video chip will need to be abvle to run 3D accelleration under Linux (obviously) | 01:52 |
| Da_Rhyno | Does NVidia play nicely with Linux? | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | wine someoption steaminstaller.msi (i always have to look it up) | 01:52 |
| tsrk | So, everyone in here hates AT&T so much that they don't use their internet? That's probably a good thing, but it'll make finding someone to help me harder :( | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: better then anything else ive tried. | 01:52 |
| Blue1 | Da_Rhyno: usually, if it's a recent card - not so with legacy mode | 01:52 |
| Da_Rhyno | it's on a laptop. | 01:53 |
| NixGeek | Nvidia does | 01:53 |
| Da_Rhyno | "Geforce GT 130M with CUDA" | 01:53 |
| qwm | Da_Rhyno: sure, that's been my experience for eight years. | 01:53 |
| qwm | my only ati card so far.. not so much. | 01:53 |
| ramashaka | does the useradd -p option take a plaintext password? | 01:53 |
| Da_Rhyno | Holy damn! 6 hours to download Ubuntu! | 01:54 |
| Da_Rhyno | O_O | 01:54 |
| arvut | how come "sudo fdisk -l" says both sda1 (winxp) and sdb1 (linux swap) are 'boot'? how will i know where the mbr is at and how do i solve this? trying to restore/reinstall grub2.. | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Da_Rhyno: use the torrent, its faster | 01:54 |
| tsrk | Da_Rhyno: I'd say you found a bad mirror | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: when useing the torrents - i got it in under 15 min. | 01:54 |
| Da_Rhyno | shoot. | 01:54 |
| tsrk | Da_Rhyno: if you refresh the DL page you'll get a different mirror | 01:54 |
| Da_Rhyno | I hate torrenting... God knows what viruses can be pickekd kup. | 01:55 |
| Da_Rhyno | picked up* | 01:55 |
| Da_Rhyno | okay... | 01:55 |
| Da_Rhyno | I'll try a torrent though | 01:55 |
| Da_Rhyno | I just need to download uTorrent. | 01:55 |
| cobra-the-joker | hey guys ... whats the right version to download .... 10.04 or 10.10 ? | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | cobra-the-joker: depends on your needs. | 01:55 |
| tsrk | Da_Rhyno: I'm getting 1MB/s from here: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/ | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | cobra-the-joker: may as well try 10.10 | 01:55 |
| tsrk | Da_Rhyno: and also U of Waterloo is awesome so you should always use their mirrors ;) | 01:56 |
| Da_Rhyno | tsrk - Thanks. | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | cobra-the-joker: 10.04 is supported longer as it is LTS. Both are perfectly fine | 01:56 |
| Da_Rhyno | I'll try a torrent. | 01:56 |
| cobra-the-joker | ActionParsnip , i will go for the LTS then ... it seems to be better | 01:57 |
| R0_odge | I would like to thank you guys for helping me | 01:57 |
| breadcrumb | Da_Rhyno, you can't pick up viruses from torrenting ubuntu from the officla iste | 01:57 |
| breadcrumb | *site | 01:57 |
| almoxarife | is there a wiki on how to take the bloat out of 10.10? | 01:57 |
| Da_Rhyno | tsrk - it was running at about the same rate the previous one was, so I'll use the torrent. | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | cobra-the-joker: for servers, i'd always advise LTS release | 01:58 |
| tsrk | Da_Rhyno: ok, torrent will probably be the fastest option | 01:58 |
| cobra-the-joker | ActionParsnip , its not a server ... its a laptop actually | 01:58 |
| NixGeek | almoxarife: I don't think so, if you want no bload, install debian with no extras and build it yourself | 01:58 |
| arvut | cobra-the-joker: a matter of taste, 10.04 might be more stable, while 10.10 includes new things | 01:58 |
| breadcrumb | !lolcats | 01:59 |
| ubottu | i iz so bored of lolcats. speek english! | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | one mans bloat is antoehr mans must have eye candy | 01:59 |
| NixGeek | I'm still using 10.04, though I'll probably update with the next release | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | cobra-the-joker: 10.04 will not need upgrading for a long while before support dies for it | 01:59 |
| almoxarife | NixGeek: rather stick with ubuntu, I de-bloated 10.4 but I am seeing processes new to me in 10.10 | 01:59 |
| dannyLopez | any information about this lines: [.ShellClassInfo] CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} tjis is a file .ini & i see in my Pc | 01:59 |
| dannyLopez | pleace help me | 01:59 |
| cobra-the-joker | ActionParsnip , i like that ... 10.04 then | 01:59 |
| rww | dannyLopez: desktop.ini? | 01:59 |
| dannyLopez | yes | 01:59 |
| rww | dannyLopez: it's a system file created by Windows to help it keep track of folder customizations. | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | and people think that windows is simple/not confuseing.. :) | 02:00 |
| scotty^ | Da_Rhyno: As ActionParsnip said, steam runs well in wine. According to http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonProgram TF2 runs well on an ATI R700 series card - make sure you see note 30 on that page. | 02:00 |
| Da_Rhyno | It was running at 40 kb/s | 02:00 |
| Da_Rhyno | at most. | 02:00 |
| dannyLopez | rww: & 1 folder "ice" with 2 files .exe thas are virus? | 02:00 |
| rww | dannyLopez: no idea | 02:01 |
| almoxarife | how do I correct the links to filetype in 10.10 gnome? | 02:01 |
| breadcrumb | i've not had very good luck with games on Steam. can make most of them work, like counterstrike source and TF2, but the performance is bad compared to windows. and theres random quirks and bugs. | 02:01 |
| rww | dannyLopez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus has a list of antivirus scanners, if you're looking for one. | 02:01 |
| Blue1 | rww: why would anyone need an a/v scanner in *nix? | 02:02 |
| Da_Rhyno | How can i torrent from the website? | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | breadcrumb: which version/s of wine did you try? | 02:02 |
| rww | Blue1: to scan for Windows viruses | 02:02 |
| arvut | dannyLopez: wrong place to ask im afraid :/ try scanning with clamav if you are supporting a windows install from ubuntu | 02:02 |
| NixGeek | almoxarife, why didn't you stick with 10.04,? | 02:02 |
| dorbin | could someone please give me and dirty configuration for smb.conf ?? mine isn't working :( | 02:02 |
| Blue1 | rww: yes, but if I am running *nix, by definition, not running windows. not needed | 02:02 |
| dorbin | ..quick and dirty | 02:02 |
| breadcrumb | ActionParsnip the one in the ubuntu repos, and the newer versions from wines repo | 02:02 |
| tsrk | dorbin: the default is good, what's your specific problem? | 02:02 |
| breadcrumb | also playonlinux.. | 02:02 |
| tsrk | dorbin: did you remember to set up your samba passwords? | 02:02 |
| arvut | dorbin: why dirty? | 02:03 |
| almoxarife | NixGeek: I started to see lots more fixes to my problems with ubuntu pointing to 10.10 rather than 10.04 | 02:03 |
| dorbin | no need for security | 02:03 |
| arvut | oh.. | 02:03 |
| dorbin | I did setup samba passwords | 02:03 |
| dannyLopez | arvut: no Im not win2 user | 02:03 |
| rww | Blue1: 1) dualbooting exists. 2) people boot into Linuxes to fix Windows, 3) email servers run on Linux and sometimes are set up to check for viruses, 4) people sometimes want to check a .doc or such isn't virus-encumbered before passing it along. etc. | 02:03 |
| Blue1 | dorbin: this might help http://pkill-9.com/?p=309 | 02:03 |
| tsrk | dorbin: to get samba running, all you need to do is install it (w/ default config), "sudo smbpasswd -a [you]", and then create a share | 02:03 |
| tsrk | dorbin: and that'll be secure as well as quick | 02:04 |
| tsrk | dorbin: you can actually do it without encrypted passwords, but it's more work to set up (on both the server and windows client end) | 02:04 |
| dorbin | I am doing this on ubuntu server .. running default smb.conf with no success | 02:04 |
| tsrk | dorbin: what's the specific issue? | 02:04 |
| Da_Rhyno | Is there a torrent link on the Ubuntu website? I'm looking and can't find one. | 02:04 |
| dannyLopez | i leave bye | 02:05 |
| dorbin | tsrk: what do you mean? my problem? | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: pretty much i just edit the smb.conf, set a proper workgroup, then uncomment the lines that enable the home shares. give the users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: then the userc can connect to smb://servername/theirname | 02:05 |
| tsrk | dorbin: you say that it doesn't work, what's happening when you try to access the server? | 02:05 |
| wezzy | Da_Rhynp: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt | 02:05 |
| dorbin | tsrk: the share doesn't show up in nautilus .. | 02:06 |
| cctx005 | can you really not get viruses or spyware/malware on Ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| rww | !virus | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:06 |
| === nick is now known as Guest59562 | ||
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: theres often issues with nautius seeing shares. i often have to type in the full url to the share the first time. | 02:06 |
| cctx005 | That's amazing | 02:06 |
| dorbin | ok | 02:06 |
| cctx005 | I waste so much time scanning Vista | 02:06 |
| dorbin | ..but xbmc couldn't find it either | 02:07 |
| trelayne | thanks clemenstimpler GeekSquid. The problem with MySQL not starting has to do with the mysql.conf upstart file. I'm using a VPS, which has filesystems working differently. So mysql was stuck somewhere on start... I simply modified the file as follows to get it to work: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15222/mysql-server-upstart-script-not-working-on-boot | 02:07 |
| Da_Rhyno | thanks | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: sometimes i have to enter the ip# instead of the machine hostname also. it just seems to depend ont he network setup | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: the findsmb and smbtree commands are handy for toubleshooting/scanning the network for shares also | 02:08 |
| dorbin | am I using the correct command for restarting samba?? (restart smbd) | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: sudo service SERVICENAME restart | 02:10 |
| GeekSquid | trelayne: verygood | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo service smbd restart | 02:10 |
| scotty^ | Blue1 - you wou;dn't want to pass on Windows virus to someone else. | 02:11 |
| wildbat | [Q] how do i change login screen resolution ? my pc don't seem to have /etc/X11/xorg.conf .... | 02:12 |
| trelayne | GeekSquid, I spend quite a bit of time trying to understand what the hell was going on. Learned a few things along the way... but man am I glad it wasnt' some corruption in the system | 02:12 |
| Nisstyre65 | What's the difference between using the service program and typing the path to the script? e.g. /etc/init.d/httpd stop | 02:12 |
| trelayne | spend = spent | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | wildbat: the monitors tool in the system menu.. is the normal way | 02:12 |
| Nisstyre65 | why is there even a program to do that? | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Nisstyre65: service is the proper way to do it.. init.d/ stuff is slowly getting replaced by upstart. | 02:12 |
| Blue1 | scotty^: it's why I don't use windows | 02:12 |
| arvut | rww: ive seen the code for a linux virus written in c.. and rootkits are always a danger. | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Nisstyre65: not all services even have a init.d/XXXX script any more | 02:13 |
| Blue1 | arvut: right root kits are bad. | 02:13 |
| wildbat | Dr_Willis: did that , but it only change my resolution after i login :< ~ | 02:13 |
| Nisstyre65 | Dr_Willis, so it's hardcoded into the service program? | 02:13 |
| campee | does anyone know why a ubuntu 8.04 system that has been working for a long time would suddenly start saying "grub error 18"? and how to fix it? | 02:13 |
| MrUnagi | anyone know how to chroot sftp users? | 02:13 |
| Blue1 | campee: umm maybe you might want to upgrade to 10.04 (LTS) | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | wildbat: changeing gdm res. Hmm. never needed to do that. you can somehow run that monitors tool as the user 'gdm' and tweak the gdm screen. | 02:14 |
| campee | i ran a SMART test on the drive and it didn't contain any errors. i don't have a live CD handy though to check on the drive's status/partitions | 02:14 |
| Whitehat | Hello. I'm new to irc, And I was wondering where I might find technical type help. | 02:14 |
| dorbin | it suddenly worked!! Think the problem was that I wasn't using the correct command to restart the samba service. THank you all for helping -- very nice of you to offer your time to help people. | 02:14 |
| avis | :) | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Nisstyre65: whats hardcoded? the service command can underatnd upstart or the older sysv type services.. | 02:14 |
| scotty^ | Whitehat - Technical help ofr IRC or for Ubuntu? | 02:14 |
| arvut | cctx005: there aren't many, and its a minimal risk. but virii can affect wine tho | 02:14 |
| scotty^ | or for something else? | 02:14 |
| wildbat | Dr_Willis: AR~ good idea ~ let me try | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | dorbin: samba is supposed to restart automatically when its confif file changes. i belive. | 02:14 |
| NixGeek | Whitehate: just ask your questions, thats basically this entire chat | 02:14 |
| campee | any ideas on how to fix grub 18 without re-installing? | 02:14 |
| Whitehat | for Ubuntu. lol | 02:15 |
| Whitehat | sorry | 02:15 |
| Whitehat | oh ok | 02:15 |
| Nisstyre65 | Dr_Willis, I think I didn't ask that correctly. What I mean is; are the commands to stop and start services all in the 'service' program or are they stored as shell scripts somewhere? | 02:15 |
| avis | apparmor doesn't protect much | 02:15 |
| arvut | campee: we share a common problem. can you elaborate? | 02:15 |
| NixGeek | campee: look here: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 | 02:15 |
| edbian | Nisstyre65: sort of both. The service program calls the scripts (and does some extra stuff I believe) | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Nisstyre65: the service 'scripts' defind what the exact service does for a start/stop/restart option. check /etc/init/* files | 02:16 |
| arvut | or maybe not.. | 02:16 |
| Whitehat | is there a way to move a linux installation to a different harddrive? | 02:16 |
| Nisstyre65 | thanks edbian Dr_Willis | 02:16 |

| hellhound | i am having trouble getting ubuntu 10.10 to recognize my second monitor with nvidia-settings I have pasted my xorg on http://pastebin.com/ybFdqM5X | 02:16 |
| campee | arvut: i'm at my parent's house. they have an old ubuntu 8.04 box they've been using. it worked great for a long time and suddenly it won't boot. it says "grub error 18, selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS." nothing has changed on this system. | 02:16 |
| bastidrazor | MoMo: you need to be in a TTY then type sudo service gdm stop | 02:17 |
| Whitehat | Ok so how would I go about doing this? | 02:17 |
| edbian | campee: Reset the bios to factory defaults | 02:17 |
| MoMo | bastidrazor: roger that, thanks! | 02:17 |
| NixGeek | campee: it sounds like it needs a seprate /boot partition | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | campee: or perhaps the battery on the mb died. and it DID get reset to defaults and needs set to somthing else. | 02:17 |
| arvut | why is both sda1 (winxp) and sdb1 (ubuntu 10.10) flagged as boot? | 02:17 |
| campee | yeah, the BIOS battery theory had occurred to me. | 02:17 |
| edbian | Whitehat: use gparted, install grub on the target hdd, you're done | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut: you can have one bootable partion per hd. i dont think ubuntu even needs the boot flag. | 02:18 |
| campee | i've turned it off and on and it has the correct system time. | 02:18 |
| sutabi | Anyone know why my apt-get is sitting at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-24-generic for over an hour? Its taking up no CPU ~_~ | 02:18 |
| arvut | campee: hdd is failing maybe? | 02:18 |
| campee | so i think the battery is ok. | 02:18 |
| campee | i ran a SMART test on it and it didn't detect any problems. | 02:18 |
| NixGeek | campe: it may be that the kernel migrated out of the first 1023 sectirs of the harddrive, where old computers can look at boot. | 02:18 |
| arvut | what is error 18 btw? | 02:18 |
| campee | i have a ubuntu 10.04 bootable USB key that I verified on a laptop boots correctly. on their system i get an error on the monitor saying "supported resolution can not be displayed, please change it to 1280 x 1024". anyone know how to fix that? | 02:19 |
| campee | i wanted to boot into a live cd environment and run fdisk -l, etc. | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | campee what video chipset is on the machine? | 02:19 |
| Whitehat | @edbian What I have is a linux installation on a partition on sdb and I want it moved to a partition on sda | 02:20 |
| campee | not sure. just reset BIOS to defaults and rebooting. | 02:20 |

| NixGeek | campee, this is a guide for moving /home to a seprate partition, use it to move /boot to a seprate partition at the begenning of the drive. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving Also, If you have to shrink the begenning of a partition to make a /boot partition, make sure to uncheck round to cylinders in gparted. | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | campee: for nvidia chipsets i have to use the 'nomodeset' option to get the live cd's booting properly | 02:20 |
| tuxxman | how do I fix this? | 02:20 |
| edbian | Whitehat: great, launch gparted. It should be pretty obvious how to copy | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxxman: natty is supported and discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 02:21 |
| campee | Dr_Willis: where do you specify that? i think it DOES have an nvidia graphics card | 02:21 |

| cctx005 | Has anyone used Cedega to play games? | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | cctx005: i once did | 02:21 |
| edbian | Whitehat the only hard part is installing grub. but you can just google that | 02:22 |
| cctx005 | does it work? | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | campee when ya boot the live cd.. theres a little man logo at the bottom, (on 10.10) hit space (i think) then its in the F6 menu items. or edit the grub menu at boot and replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' | 02:22 |

| campee | the live cd, that is. still trying to see what the issue with the drive is. | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | campee: turned off? or enabled? :) heh.. | 02:28 |

| Dr_Willis | if you enable 'nomodeset' is it off or on? how 'zen' | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | seancron: you need the closed source virtualbox for usb access, the open one oesn't do it | 02:28 |
| arvut | why does fdisk say sdb1 is linux swap when sdb2 and 5 matches swap in size? | 02:28 |
| edbian | arvut: Maybe you have two swaps? | 02:29 |
| seancron | ActionParsnip: Yeah, I've installed it. But I get an error saying "Failed to access usb subsytem" | 02:29 |
| NixGeek | edbian: your right, it does. I'll have to remember that. | 02:29 |
| arvut | sdb1 is flagged boot and is the filesystem for my ubuntu install | 02:29 |
| NixGeek | Whitehat: for a guide to moveing partitions between disks with gparted, look here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/move/move.htm | 02:29 |

| Whitehat | edbian: I just remembered I had tried doing this before and Already have everything transferred to sda. What I was having trouble with is getting grub2 to install on sda and look for its files on the sda partition. | 02:30 |
| seancron | KM0201: nope, see my reply to ActionParsnip | 02:31 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 02:31 |
| edbian | Whitehat: That's the hard part! | 02:31 |

| Whitehat | Dr_Willis: isn't looking for its files on the sda patition (i dont think) | 02:33 |
| arvut | yeah | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut: a extended partition holds logical.. so the sdb2/sdb5 thing makes sence | 02:33 |
| NixGeek | Whitehat: have you tried running "sudo update-grub"? | 02:33 |
| edbian | arvut: It's saying it's either Linux or Swap (fdisk sees no difference) | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut: you could just pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l ' | 02:34 |
| arvut | actually, no.. linux swap / solaris | 02:34 |
| KM0201 | seancron: hmm... i read something bout that the other day, but honestly, i thought the person was using the OSE edition | 02:34 |

| Guest57149 | my linux is hanging some times | 02:35 |
| arvut | Dr_Willis: slightly hard as im on my n900 and the problem lies on my desktop pc. booted it up from livecd | 02:35 |
| lano | Dr_Willis, i have followed that guide to a line but for some reason everytime i reboot my pc and if i dont run /sbin/rpc.statd i am not able to mount nfs | 02:35 |
| Blue1 | KM0201: yeah but you have to add group entry to get usb support - | 02:35 |
| arvut | but i will try.. | 02:35 |
| seancron | KM0201: yeah, I'm about to reinstall 3.2 and see if that works. I was excited to try out the new 4.0 virtualbox | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !details | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:35 |

| nawk | where does firefox stores the temp internet files for visited websites? | 02:36 |
| Blue1 | KM0201: it might I don't know I had to manually add it to get it to work | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | lano: perhaps check the forums or in #ubuntu-server - ive not ever seen or heard of people with that issue. - as a cheat you could put the command in /etc/rc.local i guess | 02:36 |
| KM0201 | Blue1: on 3.2, or 4.0? | 02:36 |
| Blue1 | KM0201: but that was maybe 18 months ago | 02:36 |
| tonsofpcs | I have a problem with ubottu. I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix Hardy Heron. When I say !details in #ubuntu, ubottu gives the preceding output, but I expect him to stay quiet :D | 02:36 |

| arvut | http://pastebin.com/FHcVviAP | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut: grub nomally goes ont eh MBR of the HD you want to boot. ie: /dev/sda or sdb not sdb1 | 02:50 |
| arvut | notice that sdb and sda are both boot | 02:51 |
| arvut | so it should go to sda then, as windows override it | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut: tey both have a bootable flag.. and i think linux dose not care about the boot flag. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | You could put it on sdb. and tell the bios to boot the 2nd hd by default. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | and leave the mbr on sda alone. (thats how my laptop is setup) | 02:52 |
| arvut | hmm, ill try both options then | 02:52 |
| bombshell | nvm, I fix my issue | 02:52 |

| jchvelasco | is there a risk? | 03:13 |
| daxt_ | i have QEMU installed , i shud try that then | 03:13 |
| edbian | jchvelasco: I don't think so | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | jchvelasco: no risk, as long as you don't change anything on your hard drive, while running ubuntu (and you'llknow if you're doing that) | 03:13 |
| edbian | john85: What kind of card? | 03:13 |
| jchvelasco | ayt thanks for quick response | 03:13 |

| nit-wit | *state | 03:23 |
| qwebirc97871 | I am trying to boot ubuntu 10.10 using nomodeset (as without black screen) however the graphics are all garbage and it hangs | 03:24 |
| skullboy | Dr_Willis: how do i do that with dpkg | 03:24 |
| hanasaki | what is good and free for linux that catches virus' and hopefull does it at file access time? | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | skullboy: dpkg -i pacakge1.deb package2.deb | 03:24 |
| nit-wit | qwebirc97871, install or cd | 03:24 |
| qwebirc97871 | both | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | hanasaki: ive not seen av software for linux that works that way. since it normally scans for windows viruses.. it would be a bit of a waste. | 03:25 |
| arvut | atleast i get into grub, probably forgot to update the list tho | 03:25 |
| qwebirc97871 | I have an ATI graphics card | 03:25 |
| GeekSquid | hanasaki: you shouldn't need to concern yourself with viruses in linux as they don't have the ability to run like in windows | 03:25 |
| shane4ubuntu | skullboy: or put them in a directory and dpkg -i *.deb and let dpkg sort it out. :) | 03:25 |
| hanasaki | Dr_Willis: not true... best not to be a carrier.. especially if you run samaba | 03:25 |
| seancron | how would I enable /proc/bus/usb on lucid? | 03:26 |
| GeekSquid | hanasaki: of course you'll want to have a decent av software on your windows machines... and they should catch anything that comes through as they are passed through samba | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | hanasaki: yes it would be a waste to be scanning linux files for windows viruses. There are features to let some servers auto scan. but thats not sacnning every file the user accesses. | 03:26 |
| john85 | ok guys sorry about that flood i missread can i still get help? | 03:26 |
| qwebirc97871 | any ideas? | 03:26 |
| nit-wit | qwebirc97871, have you tried noapic | 03:26 |
| qwebirc97871 | yep | 03:26 |
| hanasaki | Dr_Willis: and then there is wine | 03:26 |
| shane4ubuntu | hanasaki: I don't think there is one, if you don't want to carry, then you have to scan media, like usb sticks | 03:26 |
| GeekSquid | john85: ask a question | 03:26 |
| hanasaki | the goal is to make sure that any file on the linux server is scanned on RW to make sure its not a carrier | 03:27 |
| shane4ubuntu | hanasaki: but the fact is I have run virii on my Linux box with wine to no avail | 03:27 |
| john85 | i cant get my wifi on my laptop to activate | 03:27 |
| Dr_Willis | hanasaki: and with wine - worse case - it messes up the users home dir. Point is most av software ive seen is just used as 'scanners' not 'real time detectors on access' | 03:27 |
| nit-wit | qwebirc97871, do you know the graphics card | 03:27 |
| qwebirc97871 | make and model? | 03:27 |
| GeekSquid | !tab | qwebirc97871 | 03:28 |
| ubottu | qwebirc97871: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | hanasaki: biggest danger i see to linux systems - is the end user. :) | 03:28 |
| shane4ubuntu | hanasaki: the only thing it does is multiplies itself, and pastes itself in many folders, I later removed them, it was nothing | 03:28 |
| qwebirc97871 | ATI PCI 3870 x2 | 03:28 |

| nilshero | Hi, i try out ubuntu (10.10) currently. i installed the haskell platform and as extension "Assorted Haskell language documentation (haskell-doc)" Now where is this installed (or how do i open this doc)? | 03:37 |
| cambo357 | i think its mostly hardware issues right now | 03:37 |
| qwebirc97871 | Its an ATI (made by ATI) ATI brand 3870x2 | 03:37 |
| cambo357 | with the biggest factor of me being a noob | 03:38 |
| BlueEagle | arvut: You do not want to have clamav perform that type of checks because what is comming trough eth0 is never a file. It is apple and soccer. | 03:38 |
| GeekSquid | nilshero: man haskell | 03:38 |
| arvut | my idea is to scan all i/o from eth0 with clamav | 03:38 |
| BlueEagle | +s | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | nilshero: /usr/share/doc/ would be my guess.. You could use synaptic, and explore teh details of the package to see what got installed where. | 03:38 |
| Official_Noob | cambo357, is there a specific thing not working? | 03:38 |
| nit-wit | qwebirc97871, make sure you tab complete the nick every time I have a lot of things going on | 03:38 |
| quiescens | because the scanner would have no idea what is and isn't a file | 03:38 |
| cambo357 | i can boot a live usb stick, and poke around | 03:38 |

| sdfgdfsg | hey guys I just barely got ubuntu to boot on my desktop(10.04 lts) but I want to install it, how do I do that? the problem is when i reboot the computer it doesn't give me the choice to install | 03:41 |
| BlueEagle | arvut: It would most cleanly be done by a command line scan invocation. | 03:41 |
| GeekSquid | oneliner: I perfer you keep the slobber out of the repositories | 03:41 |
| nilshero | thx to ubuntu | 03:41 |
| seancron | arvut: If you really wanted to make it involved, you could probably forward traffic to a quarantine/holding pen (perhaps in a VM), scan it, and if it's clean, send it on | 03:41 |
| cambo357 | Blue, yes, i looked at that as well. seemed good, but i liked the interface of ampache a bit more | 03:42 |
| arvut | a sniffer that finds out where new downloads arrive and then tells clamav about it perhaps? | 03:42 |
| SPooN | sdfgdfsg, there should be an icon on the desktop called "install" or "install ubuntu | 03:42 |
| SPooN | " | 03:42 |
| qwebirc97871 | nit-wit: this is not going to be a simple switch at boot line huh | 03:42 |
| sdfgdfsg | I want to erase everything on it and just have linux on there, right now I have it booted from cd how do I permanent install it | 03:42 |

| SPooN | sdfgdfsg, if you eject the CD and boot up what happens? | 03:42 |
| BlueEagle | arvut: You are getting very close to !ot tbh. | 03:42 |
| sdfgdfsg | SPooN: the problem is I don't see that button, just the cd icon and a dmg looking thing | 03:42 |
| shane4ubuntu | sdfgdfsg: should be an Install button on the desktop | 03:42 |
| arvut | BlueEagle: but what if i just wanna see whats comming thru and check for ugly stuff? | 03:43 |
| qwebirc97871 | nit-wit: I canot get far enough to install | 03:43 |
| sdfgdfsg | SPooN: it boots up windows | 03:43 |
| nit-wit | qwebirc97871, I think the xswat ppa is where the drivers are or somewhere else | 03:43 |
| SPooN | 7? | 03:43 |

| sdfgdfsg | SPooN: windows xp | 03:44 |
| chrispluns | OfflineIMAP question: I switched to type=Gmail in my rc file and now mutt won't show new emails. Is this normal? | 03:44 |
| SPooN | sdfgdfsg, what happens when you click the cd icon and the "dmg thing"? | 03:44 |

| sdfgdfsg | SPooN: the cd icon pulls up an iso file and the dmg is acutally a .iso and it has a file | 03:45 |

| KM0201 | seancron: hmm, guess i won't be upgrading to it anytime soon, since i use vbox/xp to sync my media players | 03:45 |
| lickalott | the email they send you to register on the server has the wrong syntax | 03:45 |
| lickalott | business time!!! | 03:46 |
| lickalott | whats the best chan for pubuntu talk? | 03:46 |
| SPooN | Jordan_U, basically, he can boot Ubuntu fine off LiveCD but apparently doesn't see anything to install | 03:46 |
| quiescens | arvut: things like http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/third-party-tools/3rdparty-fs/ are probably your best bet if you really want an "on-access" antivirus system | 03:46 |

| r00t4rd3d | Jeff72834, Install windows xp first , then boot off the ubuntu cd/usb and install ubuntu | 04:08 |

| adalal | melvinram: just do it | 04:39 |
| rs0832 | melvinram, just try stuff out and see the guides at help.ubuntu.com | 04:39 |
| adalal | Stevezau: try sudo apt-get purge xbmc* | 04:39 |
| rigved | Tally: does the grub menu come up when you boot up? | 04:39 |
| GeekSquid | melvinram: this would be a good place to start, as would google... but first learn your way around linux/ubuntu and bash | 04:39 |
| quiescens | Stevezau: try: lsof | grep .pulse and see if it can tell you what's accesing .pulse | 04:39 |
| dcyber09 | adalal : i dont understand :\ can u give me an example | 04:39 |
| melvinram | There is no structured guide to helping someone get up to speed? | 04:40 |
| Tally | rigved, yes. when i select Windows XP i just get a blinking cursor | 04:40 |
| adalal | dcyber09: what do you wanna do? change groups for a file? or for a user? | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | Tally: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? | 04:40 |
| rigved | melvinram: there are paid guides at beginlinux | 04:40 |
| melvinram | rigved: thanks. that might be more of what i'm looking for | 04:41 |
| dcyber09 | adalal : change froups for a user of course | 04:41 |
| rigved | melvinram: you are welcome | 04:41 |
| rs0832 | melvinram, also, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html | 04:41 |
| Da_Rhyno | Yet, when I go into the installer, all I see are "Erase and use the entire disk" and "Specify partitions manually" | 04:42 |
| adalal | dcyber09: you are using a desktop with gui right? | 04:42 |
| melvinram | rs0832: jackpot! thanks | 04:42 |
| dcyber09 | no | 04:42 |
| rs0832 | melvinram, :) | 04:42 |
| dcyber09 | adalal : i currently useing ubuntu server | 04:42 |
| Stevezau | 2 secs.. just rebooting after purge | 04:42 |
| adalal | dcyber09: the file with all the groups and users are /etc/group and /etc/passwd | 04:42 |
| adalal | change the user group id in /etc/passwd to match the group in /etc/group that you want to place the user in | 04:43 |
| Da_Rhyno | rigved - I was using the guide on the ubuntu website, where the downloads lead to. | 04:43 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: Well, your hard drive already has 4 primary partitions, which would make it difficult to add another for Ubuntu. | 04:43 |
| dcyber09 | adalal : i see | 04:43 |
| dcyber09 | adalal : thanks xD | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | adalal: why not just use usermod, far safer | 04:43 |
| Da_Rhyno | Jordan_U - what I don't understand is how all those partitions got there in the first place. | 04:43 |
| dcyber09 | usermod ? | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen windows7 installs with 4 primary partitions. | 04:44 |
| adalal | dcyber09: i was jus gonna say, be careful of file permissions.. but actionparsnip's idea is far better | 04:44 |
| Da_Rhyno | Dr_Willis - That's normal, then? | 04:44 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: Some OEMs make idiotic decisions. | 04:44 |
| rigved | melvinram: that ubuntu guide is also available in your /usr/ folder | 04:44 |
| dcyber09 | well i accept all advice | 04:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: not sure if its normal.. but the HP desktop i got over xmas was that way. | 04:44 |
| dcyber09 | ActionParsnip : hows do that using usermod :) | 04:44 |
| Stevezau | ok | 04:44 |
| Stevezau | i think the fucker has gone | 04:45 |
| Da_Rhyno | This is an msi laptop... | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | (windows /boot equiliv) (windows) (some system rescue) (and somthing else) | 04:45 |

| Dr_Willis | win7 dosent need that /boot equilivent. but not sure of a proper way to remove it. | 04:45 |
| Da_Rhyno | So is there any way I can clean this mess up without losing anything? | 04:45 |
| Stevezau | adalal thanks for your help.. it removed gnome as well so ill have to reinstall it | 04:45 |
| melvinram | rigved: gotcha. I'll probably use the web version since I'm going to setup a virtual server at rackspace cloud to play with it | 04:45 |
| Da_Rhyno | Or install ubuntu without losing anything? | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: personally with hd's sop cheap. I just buy a 2nd hd for any machine im going to convert to linux only. and keep the winhd somewher safe | 04:46 |
| Da_Rhyno | This is a laptop though. | 04:46 |
| adalal | Stevezau: sorry abt that :S didn't realise xbmc would remove gnome.. shouldve come up as a warning of thigns it will remove.. | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | examine whats on teh aprtition. and back one up perhaps. or backup the whold hd to a usb hd. | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | my laptop had spaces for 2 hd's :) | 04:46 |
| Da_Rhyno | I already backed up everything. | 04:47 |
| dcyber09 | thanks~ | 04:47 |
| adalal | Stevezau: did u try installing the xbmc desktop thing? | 04:47 |
| adalal | lol | 04:47 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: If you don't ever use recovery partitions then you can remove that. | 04:47 |
| Da_Rhyno | I don't. How can I? | 04:47 |
| Stevezau | adalal no? | 04:48 |
| Stevezau | when i did apt-get purge pulse it also purged half of gnome :P | 04:48 |
| Da_Rhyno | Mind you, the recovery partition is very small. | 04:48 |
| adalal | Stevezau: im surprised in that case.. but didn't you get a list of things it'd remove? | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: you ould resize the others to make it bigger | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: Size doesn't matter, it's the need for a primary partition. | 04:49 |
| adalal | Stevezau: i said purge xbmc.. not pulse | 04:49 |
| adalal | lol | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: And if you replace the recovery partition with an extended one you can create as many additional partitions as you want, which is one of the reasons why it's particularly stupid for an OEM to ship 4 primary partitions (none of which are extended). | 04:50 |
| Stevezau | adalal yeah i know.. but i thought id do pulse as well :P | 04:50 |
| Da_Rhyno | Ah... | 04:51 |
| deepsix | Hey, I am using Ubuntu 10.04LTS with Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu built into it | 04:51 |

| Da_Rhyno | I haive to figure out which partition is which. | 04:51 |
| Da_Rhyno | have* | 04:51 |
| deepsix | after a period of time, the display randomly blacks out | 04:51 |
| shafiq_ | m0zes blunden: I guess the lack of moving parts (swinging keyboard) makes up for the "plasticky" nature of the Galaxy compared to the Desire. A case will cover it up nicely too, I think? | 04:51 |
| pauly | Hey everyone | 04:51 |
| adalal | Stevezau: it would.. certain gnome things ahve a pulse as a dependency | 04:51 |
| deepsix | not sure what to do. | 04:51 |
| shafiq_ | Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to control a users Desktop remotely (with their permission) in order to trouble shoot with them? Does FreeNX allow the user to see what I would be doing on their desktop? | 04:51 |
| Da_Rhyno | Jordan_U - if it says "boot, diag" for certain Flags, does that mean that's the bootstrap of my OS? | 04:52 |
| adalal | shafiq_: ssh? | 04:52 |
| Da_Rhyno | and what does "diag" mean? | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | shafiq_: I believe so, ubuntu also comes with vino by default and you can vnc to the same desktop (use an SSH tunnel if you are assisting over the web) | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: Diagnostics, i.e. a bootable partition with diagnostic utilities. | 04:53 |
| Da_Rhyno | Ah... okay. | 04:53 |
| Da_Rhyno | Did you see that list I pastebin'ed like you asked for? | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: Yes. | 04:53 |
| Da_Rhyno | I'm trying to figure out which partitions are what. | 04:53 |
| deepsix | #twil | 04:54 |
| shafiq_ | adalal ActionParsnip: any tutorials on how to set that up? | 04:54 |
| BlackWeb | has anyone ever used the HP BAckup utility that backs up in FBW | 04:54 |
| Da_Rhyno | And furthermore, figure out what partition I can delete so I can use it for Ubuntu | 04:54 |
| BlackWeb | or know of the HP channel | 04:54 |

| Da_Rhyno | I need the link please. | 05:02 |
| TroN-0074 | installing ubuntu desktop right now hope that works | 05:04 |
| aksh1 | hi all,i did git clone a month back after this new branch is merged at server how to sync with this new branch to locally | 05:05 |
| Da_Rhyno | Jordan_U - can you give me that link I posted earlier? the pastebin? | 05:05 |
| james__ | are htere any game creators for umbuntu??? | 05:05 |
| Da_Rhyno | I'm trying to match up disk drives with partitions | 05:05 |
| ActionParsnip | james__: sure, look into penumbra and urban terror. ID software also love linux | 05:05 |
| voronika | james: yea, there's this el8 game | 05:05 |
| voronika | it's called Nibbles | 05:05 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: http://pastebin.com/L9vsXNDc | 05:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !games | james__ | 05:05 |
| ubottu | james__: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ | 05:05 |
| Da_Rhyno | Jordan_U - thanks | 05:06 |
| james__ | nibbles is the same thing as snake im looking 4 something that i can make the whole game | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: You're welcome. | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | that wouyld be a 'programing language' :) to create a game with... | 05:06 |
| rs0832 | james__, you want a gui to make the game? | 05:07 |
| Da_Rhyno | Huh... This is... a minor annoyance. | 05:07 |
| james__ | but do i need any softwareoranything to create them | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Lots of little games written in python. Theres teh python game of the week site. with lots of examples, | 05:07 |
| Da_Rhyno | The partitions I got from Linux don't match the partition sizes listed in Windows. | 05:07 |
| cryptodira | worse than the resource errors outlined above, items on the menu bar disappear when clicked on and do not launch.... thoughts/solutions?? | 05:07 |
| ch0ta | im getting an error on grub2 while trying to boot ubuntu | 05:08 |
| james__ | so look at python stuff | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: could be ones using MiB vs MB. ie: 1000gb vs 1024 and so on. | 05:08 |
| ch0ta | it says i have to load the kernel | 05:08 |
| blob4000 | hey, anyone here on an acer aspire one? | 05:08 |
| ch0ta | this happens right after backtrack installs | 05:08 |
| james__ | my broinlaw said he thought there was a game creation software on umbuntu | 05:08 |
| rs0832 | james__, pygame.org | 05:08 |
| Da_Rhyno | Yeah | 05:08 |
| rs0832 | james__, but you still need to program | 05:08 |
| JackOfHearts | nvm pyqonsole worsk fine ty and ttyl pps | 05:09 |
| Da_Rhyno | 'cause the main drive is 172GB according to Windows, and the backup drive is 115GB | 05:09 |
| james__ | so i can go to pygame.org | 05:09 |
| francisco | james_ if u are gamer u must switch to windows | 05:09 |
| francisco | is better for gaming | 05:09 |
| A[D]minS | Dears , if the sar average output for rxdrop/s is 1.60 , dose it mean i've a network issue? | 05:09 |
| Da_Rhyno | I'm guessing the main drive then is #3 and the backup is #4 | 05:09 |
| james__ | then whtas umbuntu 4? | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !ubuntu | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 05:10 |

| Dr_Willis | ambrosius: darn! we all know ubuntu is teh 3 clicks and you got Portal5 written OS... | 05:13 |
| Da_Rhyno | So how could I change that from a primary, so that way I can install Ubuntu? | 05:13 |
| ambrosius | Dr_Willis: hehe | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: delete it and remake it as a extended. and put logicals in it. | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | Da_Rhyno: Even if the windows terminalogy is "Drive letters" partitions are never "drives". | 05:14 |
| Matt_____ | I need some help with getting my wireless adaptor to connect. can anyone help? | 05:14 |
| Da_Rhyno | Jordan_U - my bad. | 05:14 |
| Da_Rhyno | Dr_Willis - As noobish as a question this may be, how do I do that? | 05:15 |
| Da_Rhyno | (I wasn't expecting to run into this much trouble trying to install Linux) | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Rhyno: gparted or fdisk, just delete it.. then make a new one.. of the type extended | 05:15 |

| Matt_____ | the direct connection works. password and mac address are correct | 05:19 |
| Matt_____ | I don't see any reason that it should not work | 05:19 |

| pw-toxic | hi, i have an issue with backintime .. im making hourly backups of my important file.. since i'm a web developer using php I have to deal with a LOT of files | 05:42 |
| pw-toxic | each backup has probably about 250 000 files | 05:42 |
| pw-toxic | when i want to delete the backups of one day (24 hourly backup) thd deleting process takes VERY long.. can i speed this up? | 05:42 |
| snake | Yeah that file kinda made my xserver not want to start. | 05:42 |
| pw-toxic | im using the command rm -r 20101002 | 05:43 |
| UBUxUBU | it stick flash drive in usb port, i see the windows pop up showing the files, i clcik on the files to read them, then i get the message unknown file -shortcut | 05:43 |
| UBUxUBU | unknown file type | 05:43 |
| UBUxUBU | it thinks the files is a shortcut | 05:43 |
| Ichi` | I have a question, im running ubuntu server 10.04, I cant seem to get openssh server | 05:43 |
| Ichi` | to log at all (trying to get a fail2ban setup), I have the settings in sshd_config set | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | UBUxUBU: you have a file named '-shortcut' ? | 05:43 |
| Ichi` | to SyslogFacility AUTH and LogLevel VERBOSE, but nothing is being logged to | 05:43 |

| rs0832 | UBUxUBU, what was _supposed to be on the drive? | 05:44 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: unfortuneately no, I'm thinking you should tar the thing as a backup, then you only have to delete one file per 24hour period | 05:44 |
| juk | hi, is there any rules on how big should be change to release software update? or it's just up to maintainer? | 05:44 |

| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, how can i tell backintime to make tars? | 05:45 |
| UBUxUBU | i think he copied a shortcut on a windows computer instead of doin a proper file transfer | 05:45 |
| Jeff72834 | installed microsoft streets and trips on virtural box windows xp os but gps usb reciever not recognized anyone have any idea on this problem? | 05:45 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, oh i think this one wont work because it is making inkremental backups with hardlinks.. and this wont work with tars | 05:46 |
| jynks | Hey guys | 05:46 |

| keith- | ok so i got ubuntu installed on my laptop. however, i had issue with the live disk freezing up and now it locks up even faster with the actual install. almost as soon as i log in it locks up | 05:46 |
| jynks | gpot a fresh install of xubuntu but i get no sound from the HDMI cable | 05:46 |
| keith- | at first i thought it was my video locking ubuntu up, but i went into recovery mode with failsafe graphics and it still happened. any suggestions? it completely locks up. no mouse movement nothing. sometimes the screen just goes purple with what looks like pinstripes | 05:46 |
| GeekSquid | juk: usually up to the maintainer - ubuntu's policy is critical (as in security related) first, then bugs, which get pushed to proposed-updates | 05:46 |
| jynks | dosn't anyone have any idea | 05:46 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, im deleting backups of one day for 45 minutes now and i have left 70 more days to delete... ;/ this looks to be a task for several weeks just to delete something.. | 05:46 |
| jynks | I have followed a few threads about pulse audio and alsamixder but i still can not seam to get it to work | 05:47 |
| UBUxUBU | ill bet this zipperhead dragged his desktop icon into this thumb drive instead of dragging the files themselves | 05:47 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: must be one heck of an application/ data-store | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | UBUxUBU: check the size of the file. | 05:47 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: seems like using a diff based backup might better than backing up the whole thing everyday | 05:48 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, well i have a lot of webpages and all of them use Zend Framework.. one website has about 17k files ;)) | 05:48 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, i back up every hour ;)) | 05:48 |
| r00t4rd3d | what font and size do you guys use for xchat ? | 05:48 |

| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: is there that much change from hour to hour | 05:48 |
| Ichi` | I have a question, im running ubuntu server 10.04, I cant seem to get openssh server to log (I have SyslogFacility AUTH and LogLevel VERBOSE, but when i login to ssh i dont get anytihng logged to /var/log/auth.log | 05:48 |

| ambrosius | or 9 | 05:48 |
| jynks | sorry this is ubuntu chat i meant xubuntu sorry | 05:48 |

| xnixan | Hi, is there any command line tool to reduce image size? | 05:49 |
| * skraito say hi all | 05:49 | |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: and how much space is your 250k files taking up? | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | xnixan: the imagemagik package has such tools | 05:49 |
| UBUxUBU | i think this brainiac buddy of mine tried to click and drag a desktop icon to a flash drive cos ubuntu says there is nothing on it | 05:50 |
| xnixan | Dr_Willis, i will check it, thanks! | 05:50 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, hm not that much.. maybve 300MB or something? | 05:50 |
| juk | GeekSquid: i see | 05:50 |
| Jeff72834 | i have an error while extracting virtual box extensions just gives me an error occured while extracting files | 05:51 |
| ambrosius | pw-toxic: then reiser-fs may be a good filesystem for you. should be faster that ext4 with so many files | 05:51 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: recommend making 2 copies, 1 testing, 1 live, make changes to the testing version revert to live when you f-up | 05:51 |
| pw-toxic | ambrosius looks like i need to reorganize everything i have done so far ;) | 05:51 |
| Jeff72834 | i have an error while extracting virtual box extensions just gives me an error occured while extracting files | 05:52 |

| pw-toxic | francisco, my eizo 22" costs more.. | 05:56 |
| jbrouhard | or is it GTK 2.x ? | 05:56 |
| francisco | but u has 4 monitors | 05:56 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, 2*22"; 1*19"; 1*37" | 05:56 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: i can see a script being written that takes the latest backup and tar's it and deletes the original files, could be run as a cron script | 05:57 |
| francisco | pw-toxic looks like u know averything aabout monitors | 05:57 |
| francisco | how to reppair pixewls? | 05:57 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, well hourly backups work great for me using backintime.. the problem is: i had disabled the "smart remove" option of backintime and now i have hourly backups for the last 3 months... if I enable smart remove of backintime, backintime is stuck to do the smartremove.. it has been doing the smart remove for 2 days now... then i interrupted it manually | 05:58 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, why should i know everyhting about monitors if i have 4 of them?! | 05:58 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: another thing (this is taught at the university level) every time you are about to change a file you rename the old file before editing | 05:59 |

| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, thats not useable.. i want to have it simple ;)) | 05:59 |
| francisco | waspw-toxic was just a felling :D | 05:59 |
| pw-toxic | well .. simplicity is also on a university level ;) | 05:59 |

| snake | speedy. | 06:01 |
| ambrosius | is "backintime" something like a Apple Timemachine clone? | 06:01 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: I have programmers who work for me who rename files and put daily changes in a folder religously | 06:01 |
| francisco | rm -rf is to erase a place with root prior | 06:01 |
| pw-toxic | GeekSquid, maybe you should tell them to use SVN?! | 06:01 |
| snake | francisco, i thought it forced it to delete right then and there. | 06:01 |
| snake | francisco, and wasn't deleted but made unaccessible until it was overwritten, or recovered by a utility such as testdisk/ | 06:02 |
| john__ | .net | 06:02 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: and some of my guys are very secretive until they release to the SVN/bazaar, I allow that, because I pay for completed work not for incomplete mumbojumbo that doesn't fit into the downstream application | 06:02 |
| francisco | well | 06:03 |
| francisco | login as root and delete it | 06:03 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, im always root ;) | 06:03 |
| francisco | sudo -s | 06:03 |
| francisco | then rm -R /place | 06:03 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, i did... | 06:03 |
| GeekSquid | pw-toxic: you know what they say "if you arn't root then you'll never learn anything" | 06:04 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, but it has to test each file if there are still other files hard linking to this file.. for each of the 250k * 24 files | 06:04 |
| pw-toxic | thats about 5 million files to check ;) | 06:04 |
| francisco | well | 06:05 |
| francisco | maybe u can use chmod 755 | 06:05 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, what for? | 06:06 |
| melvinram | lol my irc client (cooloquy) just made a bomb explosion sound when ccvp got banned | 06:06 |

| KM0201 | i remember ccvp... i never remember him doing anything incredibly stupid. | 06:07 |
| KM0201 | must have really goofed it one day | 06:07 |
| melvinram | snake: not really but it was kind of funny | 06:07 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, i can access the files.. it just takes hours ;) | 06:07 |

| snake | that would happen to me. | 06:07 |
| melvinram | snake: exactly | 06:08 |

| pw-toxic | francisco, what do external HD help with this? i have several external HD | 06:08 |
| francisco | well | 06:08 |
| pw-toxic | they are for backups as well but on a different level | 06:08 |
| snake | francisco, yeah if you wanna delete a file real fast you just smash it with a hammer and buy a new one. | 06:08 |
| francisco | I'm confused about ur trouble | 06:08 |
| snake | francisco, he wants the file to go away faster. | 06:09 |
| m310 | melvinram: why are u using colloquy on a ubuntu chan? | 06:09 |
| snake | pw-toxic, do ctrl-c, then rm -rf /path/file | 06:09 |
| pw-toxic | francisco, my trouble is the following: i want to activate "smart remove" of backintime.. but when i activate it, it will probably take weeks to delete the old files via backintime and for all of these days, no backups are made | 06:09 |
| snake | pw-toxic, nvm | 06:09 |
| snake | pw-toxic, forget what i said lol. | 06:10 |

| Heet | Dr_Willis: Won't Ubuntu work as a logical? | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Heet: yes it can work as a logical. | 06:42 |
| Heet | And I'm not even making it a primary. I'm just making it unallocated data. | 06:42 |

| arvut | hi again.. what do I do when ubuntu says "target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init."? i just reinstalled grub on sdb and got the list to work, 2.6.35.22-generic 10.10 fails :( | 07:04 |
| GeekSquid | aashu_dwivedi: to do exactly what | 07:04 |
| GeekSquid | karthick87: you can look in /home/username/.gnupg | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | arvut almost sounds like the file /sbin/init is missing. | 07:06 |
| aashu_dwivedi | GeekSquid : get the path of selected songs and copy them to the Gnome clilpboard so that they can be copied easly | 07:06 |
| Dr_Willis | or the 'root' setting in the boot/grub is wronmg | 07:06 |
| karthick87 | Geeksquid: I want to check whether the key is in use or not..Any command for checking that? | 07:06 |

| Guest73997 | ohhh dear, I just wanted to get 10.10 and it gave me 11.04, :-( What can I do? | 07:08 |

| rww | Guest73997: what's the output of lsb_release -r? | 07:09 |
| Dcite | Guest73997: If you can run Synaptic, you can still access software sources from within that app I think. | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | or you can always manager the sources wuith other tools, or by hand | 07:09 |
| Guest73997 | ok | 07:09 |

| aashu_dwivedi | @GeekSquid i too din understand what are u trying to say , how is that realated to rhythmbox / python . | 07:11 |
| FL-student | Dr_Willis: how about run level? | 07:11 |
| aashu_dwivedi | GeekSquid: i too din understand what are u trying to say , how is that realated to rhythmbox / python . | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !runlevels | FL-student | 07:11 |
| ubottu | FL-student: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 07:11 |
| GeekSquid | aashu_dwivedi: me being a squid, my hand was in the wrong place that was for karthick87 ... as for you idk, it is getting late and I am about to crash | 07:12 |

| nit-wit | varunarang, can you just back up what you need and install a more up to date distro 9.10 is end of life in April even if you got it running, (.04 already was may be part of the problem | 07:18 |
| nit-wit | *9.04 | 07:18 |
| varunarang | yes, I guess I can give that a try. b/w that should be possible from the shell itself. | 07:19 |
| Tally | Dual booting ubuntu with Windows XP.. after installation i cant boot into Windows. Just a blinking cursor. What shall I do... Windows XP is in the grub menu.. all I get is a blinking cursor | 07:19 |

| gdoteof_home | hi please help me turn off my touchpad. lucid on a t410 laptop. | 07:22 |
| gdoteof_home | gpointingsettings shows my touchpad as off | 07:22 |
| gdoteof_home | i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad/PreMaverick | 07:23 |
| goddard | any thing like wampserver for ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| gdoteof_home | my touchpad is so over reactive on top of everything else | 07:24 |
| arvut | looks like im getting closer to the yearly reinstall.. maybe I'll try the terminalbased install this time.. | 07:24 |
| gdoteof_home | if i float my finger over it just right the pointer spazzes out | 07:24 |
| rs0832 | goddard, like xampp ? | 07:24 |
| keith- | for some reason unity is no longer showing up when i login. i finally got it to not lock up, but i can only go into desktop mode. i want netbook mode. also, if i run unity from desktop mode nothing comes up | 07:24 |
| goddard | rs0832 nah like WampServer its similar to xampp except the key feature is you can easily switch between php versions | 07:24 |
| === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic | ||
| keith- | wait... i just got a segfault from unity that i ran in desktop mode | 07:25 |
| rs0832 | goddard, ah ok | 07:25 |
| * arvut i hate myself for failing at which im best at; repairing pc's :( how do i make it run again? it doesnt mount /sys anymore and kernel panics :/ | 07:27 | |
| gusg | on 10.10x64 by default it appears that Firefox isn't handling JNLP files. anything special I need to do? Do I need to install the Sun JRE or can I use OpenJDK ? | 07:28 |
| gdoteof_home | arvut if you tell me how to get my touchpad to stop working in a way that doesn't require tools I will send a magical anti-fail spell | 07:28 |
| rs0832 | goddard, i only know of xampp, but if you want something that will give you a gui to select your php version and scripts and stuff, cherokee server comes with all that stuff, including python wsgi, etc | 07:28 |
| rs0832 | goddard, for screenshots: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=cherokee%20admin&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi | 07:29 |

| hostile_^ | how would i run that? | 07:29 |
| arvut | atleast windows still boots.. so now I'll retire to bed with some more star trek and trance. thid problemsolving will have to continue tomorrow.. | 07:30 |
| GeekSquid | goddard: lamp-server provides the same functionality as wamp, and xampp, yet native in its environment, perhaps if you describe what i you are trying to do, we can point you in the right direction | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest73997: perhaps install synaptic, and access it fromt there. I dont see it in the menus here either | 07:30 |
| rs0832 | Guest73997, try creating a shortcut to: gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk | 07:30 |
| rww | Guest73997: the canonical way to get to it is through the menus of Synaptic Package Manager or Software Centre. You can unhide the Software Sources icon itself by right-clicking the menu applet in the panel and clicking Edit Menus. | 07:30 |
| goddard | rs0832 oh sweet this might be what i need | 07:30 |
| rs0832 | goddard, :) hope so | 07:31 |
| Guest73997 | ok thanks!! | 07:31 |
| arvut | gdoteof_home: sorry, no can do. and unless it comes with a 100% warranty then im not interested :( | 07:31 |

| Dr_Willis | keith-: not at teh same time i think.. | 07:33 |
| gdoteof_home | honestly. my laptop is almost unusable | 07:33 |
| GeekSquid | keith-: perhaps reinstall the unity binarys, seems like something is corrupted | 07:33 |
| keith- | GeekSquid: what packages? i just installed the netbook release | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | keith-: normally one selexts a normal gnome desktop, or the netbook itnerface at the login screen. | 07:34 |
| keith- | Dr_Willis: yeah if i choose the netbook interface nothing comes up. i just get a wallpaper and a mouse | 07:35 |
| GeekSquid | hostile_^: Not sure what you are trying to run,,, describe please | 07:35 |
| keith- | could i reinstall ubuntu-netbook-default-settings or is that a meta package that won't make any changes? | 07:37 |

| daniellopezific | I currently am running ubuntu only right now, i want to dual boot ubuntu and windows xp for photoshop (tried virtual machines, and wine is just ghetto) am i correct in assuming that i cannot partition my drive for installing windows without formatting everything? | 07:41 |
| hostile_^ | GeekSquid: i know what the different parts mean just not sure what im suppose to do with it | 07:41 |
| keith- | ok well it still doesn't start up unity when i choose to boot into the netbook stuff. is there a way i can start unity from the console and tell it which display to go to? | 07:41 |
| keith- | daniellopezific: yeah you can resize your drive using gparted or something similar. but you will need a linux livecd to reinstall grub. which will be much easier if you have a separate /boot directory | 07:42 |
| GeekSquid | hostile_^: what you are playing is an ssh based game ... ssh -l level1 io.smashthestack.org -p 2224 will get you into the game .... everything else is game based ... you might want to read the faq's at smashthestack.org | 07:43 |

| piyushmishra | GeekSquid: I need to use LaTeX yes and I think its comes with TeX live as mentioned in their site | 07:47 |
| sacarlson | keith-: unity apears to be just a theme so if you create a new user from the console you will create a default theme and if you login to that you will have something you can use | 07:48 |
| GeekSquid | piyushmishra: sudo apt-get install texlive .... this would be the ubuntu way of installing texlive | 07:49 |
| sacarlson | keith-: when you find a theme you like that is usable in that user you can copy it or move it to the user you want to be | 07:49 |
| piyushmishra | GeekSquid: ok lemme try that | 07:49 |
| keith- | sacarlson: unity is a shell not a theme. and it's not starting. so i can't so much as right click. | 07:50 |

| sjuxax | Hello. Can I apt-get install alternate-installer? I am using the desktop CD but VNC is going really, really slow for some reason and I would prefer to install over SSH | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | gusg: they download the .deb to /var/cache/apt/ | 08:09 |
| cryptodira | Dr_Willis: there is a lot of quirky behaviour happening.... items in the menu bar will not launch...the icons just disappear, resource errors even from cli, programs that do launch will suddenly hang... 10.04/amd64/toshiba satellite/fresh install on new machine/worked fine for a month or so.... thoughts? | 08:10 |
| gusg | thanks Dr_Willis. Does the .deb file contain the installation location? I'm trying to find where my sun-java home folder is | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | cryptodira: Hmm.. test with a live cd. see if has same issues. | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | gusg: you can examine the .deb to see where it installs tuff to. or use synaptic to check the packages properties. | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptodira: i suggest you test ram | 08:11 |

| Jordan_U | damagednoob: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 08:11 |
| damagednoob | okay. i don't have boot from usb or a cdrom in this computer. so i took out the harddrive and put it in a usb housing. i then plugged that housing into my laptop and install ubuntu to the hdd. i've no plugged the hdd back into the other computer. it seems to have the same grub setup now as the laptop | 08:11 |

| Dr_Willis | the grub meny may be using the wrong hd(#,#) for your system now. | 08:14 |

| gibran | how? | 08:35 |
| r00t4rd3d | http://newzjunky.com/ | 08:35 |

| r00t4rd3d | shape you too | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | h-dee: yes.. and thats what all the updates come in.. | 09:26 |
| r00t4rd3d | run alsamixer in a terminal | 09:26 |
| ortsvorsteher | alsamixer runs now in terminal r00t4rd3d | 09:27 |
| r00t4rd3d | use your arrow keys and move all the sliders up | 09:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: or I guess you could mount the iso and then use the software sources to install from | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | arunkumar413: some programs come as debs that auto-add their own repos to the system to keep them updated. googles tuff does that and so do a few other apps. | 09:27 |
| ortsvorsteher | all sliders eccept line & mic are up r00t4rd3d | 09:27 |
| Dribble | can you read this? | 09:27 |
| Doinkle | we can read :) | 09:27 |
| h-dee | Dr_Willis: Thanks! By the way, after re-installing...can I install all those files in /var/cache/apt in a single step? Or got to install each 1 by 1? | 09:28 |
| soxor | #ubuntu-de | 09:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ortsvorsteher: make sure it isn't muted too | 09:28 |

| r00t4rd3d | ortsvorsteher, you see a speaker icon up on the top taskbar ? | 09:28 |
| ShapeShifter499 | r00t4rd3d, ok now what? | 09:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Dribble: what up | 09:28 |
| Dribble | i'm tired of my screen going blank | 09:28 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i think first i should mount the iso image | 09:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: you know how? | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | h-dee: some of them may be out dated and redundant.. so i suggest just copying them to your new cache dir.. then doing normal apt-get update/upgrade/installs of what you need | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | h-dee | 09:28 |
| ubottu | h-dee: 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 | 09:28 |
| r00t4rd3d | ShapeShifter499, press F4 | 09:28 |
| ortsvorsteher | nothing is muted Us3r_Unfriendly | 09:28 |
| Dribble | it was fixed by an update then I updated again and it came back | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | h-dee: if a newer package is int eh repos it will download it.. if its alrleady in teh cache - it wont. | 09:29 |
| r00t4rd3d | ShapeShifter499, you see a section Mic | 09:29 |
| ortsvorsteher | r00t4rd3d, speacker icon? | 09:29 |

| el_seano | rickmasta: I run Ubuntu Desktop on my netbook just fine. Maybe specify what you mean by smoothly? | 09:32 |
| r00t4rd3d | ortsvorsteher, it should say Mute if your sound is on , not unmuted | 09:33 |
| gobbe | adz_: read from wikipedia? | 09:33 |
| r00t4rd3d | you can click mute/unmuted to change it | 09:33 |
| el_seano | adz_: Ubuntu is made by Canonical, which is owned by Mark Shuttleworth. | 09:33 |
| rww | adz_: a group of Debian developers led by Mark Shuttleworth, yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(philosophy)#Definition , yes | 09:33 |
| ortsvorsteher | r00t4rd3d, sound is on and i see there an option to mute it | 09:34 |

| adz_ | i use opera browser irc client. | 09:34 |
| rww | adz_: because we put your name at the start of the message | 09:34 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: sudo mount -o loop /home/arunkumar/ubuntuiso /mnt/ .is ubuntuiso is the name of the iso image | 09:34 |
| adz_ | rww, thank you, now do you see yellow. | 09:34 |
| rww | adz_: yes | 09:35 |
| adz_ | cool. | 09:35 |
| adz_ | it's debian. very good. | 09:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: yes use what ever the ubuntu iso is called | 09:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: i don't know off the top of my head | 09:35 |
| adz_ | been using redhat/fedora for 7 years. then i can't take it anymore. the updates are crazy. | 09:35 |
| gobbe | crazy? | 09:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: welcome to .debs :) | 09:35 |
| solo_ | Hi all! I have problem on my laptop hp 4720s with WiFi card. Drivers from System->Additional Drivers don't work. My hardvare: 44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) | 09:35 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly your user name is too long for me. :) | 09:36 |
| solo_ | Please anybody help me!!! | 09:36 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: just double clicking the iso image mounted it | 09:36 |
| adz_ | well, i ain't new to debian. been running knoppix on a stick for a year now. | 09:36 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: type in Us3 and hit tab | 09:36 |
| ortsvorsteher | r00t4rd3d, i think it is because my hda chip is not supported. it is an ALC1200 Intel Soundcard HDA. May there is an option not inserted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. but i have no idea which one | 09:36 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: Us3r_Unfriendly great thank you. | 09:37 |
| rww | adz_: It's based on Debian and syncs from there at the start of every release cycle, then adds changes on top. | 09:37 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: Us3r_UnfriendlyI should have learned this in 1995. | 09:37 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: wow that is easy...where'd it mount it to? /media/ ? | 09:37 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: no problem | 09:37 |
| adz_ | rww: so why the name ubuntu, doctor? | 09:38 |
| rww | adz_: no idea | 09:38 |
| rww | Mark Shuttleworth's South African, maybe he just heard it and liked it. | 09:38 |
| adz_ | it sounds african. which is not bad, i mean. | 09:38 |
| gobbe | adz_: . It is named after the Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu ("humanity towards others").[7] | 09:38 |
| adz_ | rww ohh. | 09:38 |
| PhilT | adz: "Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers." | 09:38 |
| adz_ | gobbe: thank you that's good if you are not in the politics. | 09:39 |
| PhilT | http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu | 09:39 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: dont know where it got mounted. But the mounted folder is on the desktop | 09:39 |
| ortsvorsteher | r00t4rd3d, i think it is because my hda chip seems not to be supported. it is an ALC1200 Intel Soundcard HDA. May there is an option not inserted in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. but i have no idea which one | 09:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: well i'm guessing if you have a article on how to add to software sources you'll need to know where it's mounted | 09:40 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: the location is archive://file%253A%252F%252F%252Fhome%252Farun%252FDesktop%252Fubuntustudio-10.10-alternate-i386.iso/ | 09:40 |
| sweet | hey i want to know how free domain is useful to owner | 09:40 |
| rickmasta | el_seano: I just mean, run it with no prob | 09:40 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: that's not the location | 09:40 |
| solo__ | hi all! | 09:41 |
| r00t4rd3d | ortsvorsteher, pm | 09:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: that's where your gnome nautilus location on your desktop is | 09:41 |
| arunkumar413 | when i press ctrl+l this is the location it shows | 09:41 |
| ortsvorsteher | i read that r00t4rd3dthx | 09:41 |
| solo__ | can ask about Wifi problems on laptop& | 09:41 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: then tell me how to find the mount point | 09:42 |
| sweet | how it is profitable... | 09:42 |
| adz_ | can some good people do me a favor and just send one private msg to me. i am not testing my opera. thansk in adv. (the notification feature of opera) | 09:42 |
| el_seano | rickmasta: To give you perspective, I have one of the earlier N270 Atom netbooks with a 1GB of RAM. It runs Ubuntu just fine; I can even play Minecraft on this thing. | 09:42 |
| el_seano | I paid $270 for it in 2009. | 09:42 |
| r00t4rd3d | ShapeShifter499, PM | 09:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: sudo mount -l works nicely...also sudo lshw | 09:43 |
| rww | el_seano: I think we have the same CPU and RAM. I was surprised at minecraft running on mine :) | 09:43 |
| adz_ | hello | 09:43 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: when i click on places. The mounted file is shown under network | 09:43 |
| solo__ | hi | 09:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: also i'm not to wrattle your cage but how did you double click it and mount it in ubuntu? | 09:43 |
| el_seano | rww: I know right! I mean, it's not pretty and I get maybe 10fps if I'm lucky, but it's enough to get my fix | 09:43 |
| adz_ | solo_: can you send me a private msg, i am testing my opera browser private msg notification feature. just one, please. | 09:44 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i just doubled the iso image file on the desktop. just below it there was a folder | 09:44 |
| mazzoni | hi | 09:44 |
| adz_ | did someone send me anything, nothing happens. | 09:45 |
| sweet | anyone ...tell me why free domain is profitable | 09:45 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: you'll either use a iso mounter like "Furious Mount" or just from a terminal...otherwise you'll need to put it on a cd or a usb device | 09:45 |
| egsome | I've problem with Google Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10, as (some) Arabic text shows `white small box` instead of each character, Any ideas ? | 09:45 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to do it in terminal | 09:45 |
| adz_ | egsome: i won't be the test bed for a for profit company. it's buggy, has problems. | 09:45 |
| adz_ | egsome: max out it's a beta | 09:45 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: you are using ubuntu 10.04+ right? | 09:46 |
| Synergy999 | Help! I have no sound in Ubuntu 10.04 (it's not muted, speakers are on). Ubuntu sees my onboard sound : http://pastebin.com/RuiW6LJ1 but still nothing comes out of the speakers. Any suggestions? | 09:46 |
| egsome | adz_, I didn't face any problems with it, but this one. | 09:46 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: yes, 10.10 | 09:46 |

| solo__ | Help me with Wifi 44:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) | 09:46 |
| egsome | adz_, Using it for many months till now | 09:46 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: just tell me how to know the mount point | 09:46 |
| adz_ | egsome: it takes years to make a browser. and google has been to optimistic about it. | 09:46 |
| egsome | adz_, I'd consider your suggestion, but Can you help in this problem ? | 09:47 |
| rww | solo__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx , do the "Installing STA drivers" section | 09:47 |
| adz_ | egsome: what's the prob again? i manage to run chrome in chroot a few days ago. | 09:47 |
| rww | solo__: (there are two drivers for bcm43xx cards, wl/sta and b43. b43 doesn't work with bcm4312) | 09:47 |
| solo__ | rww: I tried all manuals but it don't help me | 09:48 |
| rww | solo__: considering that I have that card and followed those instructions and it worked, this seems odd. | 09:48 |
| konfuzius | hey folks! | 09:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: sudo mount -l and it'll say towards the bottom | 09:48 |
| rww | solo__: only hint I have on top of that link is to shut down your computer completely and then start it back up once you've gotten the right drivers installed. If you tried to set up b43 and its firmware, it can cause odd issues until shutdown. | 09:48 |
| rww | (and I mean shutdown, not reboot) | 09:49 |
| r00t4rd3d | rww, is there a difference betweem sta and b43 ? | 09:49 |
| rww | r00t4rd3d: STA/wl is the non-free-software driver, b43 is a community-developed free driver | 09:49 |
| r00t4rd3d | whats better ? | 09:49 |
| konfuzius | anyone who might help with a nforce2 chip sound problem? | 09:49 |
| rww | r00t4rd3d: different ones work on different cards. when b43 used to work on my bcm4312, it had worse speeds and better features (e.g. promiscuous mode). whereas, wl is more dependable for me. | 09:50 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/549475/ | 09:50 |
| adz_ | egsome: can you send me a private message | 09:50 |
| r00t4rd3d | Ive been using the STA but I see my card is supported for the b43 too :/ | 09:50 |
| adz_ | egsome: if you do, i will give you my script to set up a chroot env on knoppix | 09:50 |
| rww | r00t4rd3d: if the STA's working fine, I'd stick with it | 09:50 |
| solo__ | rww: My driver b43 is working partially and fully sta does not work | 09:51 |
| adz_ | konfuzius: here is the thing with linux. it has all the goodies, if you HW is not supported. change to other HW. | 09:51 |
| h-dee | Dr_Willis: Sorry to interrupt again...but is there anything else which you should be back'd up apart from config directories/files in Home, and apt files from /var/cache/apt? | 09:51 |
| rww | solo__: well, I gave you the instructions and the thing about shutting down, so you know what I know now. Broadcom cards are a pain. | 09:51 |
| konfuzius | no i guess it is supported. at least it had sound input before reinstall :) | 09:51 |
| konfuzius | and i find the device in the hardware list, but it won't play any sound. i guess its just a matter of drivers | 09:52 |
| adz_ | konttori_work: upgrade sometimes "fail" your hardware. the experience i have with linux for years is: look forward. take what you have and forget about what you don't. save time. also make linux working for u meaning. actually, it's mature now. | 09:52 |
| PhilT | arunkumar413: how did you mount iso ? | 09:53 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: your "sr0" is your physical cd/dvd drive. terminal: cd /media/45a7536c-fc24-4db3-8897-84697e4a9dbe and the type: ls -a | 09:53 |

| h-dee | Hi...I was going to re-install Ubuntu, and so I took the backup of complete Home folder (will config files etc), and /var/cache/apt. Do I need to back-up anything else? | 09:54 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: it got lost+found | 09:55 |
| gobbe | h-dee: /etc-folder might be also one thing to backup | 09:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: okay...that's not it | 09:55 |
| h-dee | gobbe: Thanks. What's exactly in it? just for knowledge. | 09:55 |
| arunkumar413 | PhilT: i just double clicked the iso image to mount | 09:55 |

| Synergy999 | Is anyone a wiz with fixing sound issues? Ubuntu sees my sound card but I still get no sound. Note this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CnvAfTDU ... any help would be appreciated | 09:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | I could be 100% wrong...but without a iso mounting client already installed on ubuntu, I don't think you just can mount an iso from double clicking on it | 09:59 |
| h-dee | Hi...I was going to re-install Ubuntu, and so I took the backup of complete Home folder (will config files etc), and /var/cache/apt. Do I need to back-up anything else? What's exactly in /etc? | 09:59 |

| toloykhan | so I need to remote access because am going to remove the screen form it | 10:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | toloykhan: you would have to have the host machine with the firewall your trying to configure to have installed some kind of ssh server and then from your machine you would just connect to it through ssh | 10:11 |
| toloykhan | could you name some ssh server | 10:12 |
| rww | toloykhan: openssh-server | 10:12 |
| toloykhan | rww thanx | 10:13 |
| damagednoob | i think i screwed up installation of mythtv on ubuntu and now it hangs at the desktop. is there a way to reset the desktop settings to default? | 10:13 |

| scotty^ | I need some help with configure | 10:58 |
| scotty^ | I'm getting No package 'fontconfig' found | 10:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ToastedHip: gentoo is a distro that when you install, after your done with the install...your greeted with a tty screen and then it's kernel compiling time. basically that guy just wanted to look cool...truth gentoo isn't that hard after using Ubuntu for a few years and getting comfortable with a terminal | 10:59 |
| scotty^ | Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS | 10:59 |
| scotty^ | and FONTCONFIG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. | 10:59 |
| scotty^ | See the pkg-config man page for more details. | 10:59 |
| scotty^ | I've tried exporting the PGK_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to /usr/lib and /usr/lib/pkgconfig but I still get the same error. | 11:01 |
| scotty^ | Can anyone help? | 11:01 |
| GrassMonkey | have problems with my graphics card. i did lspci and i can see the card. but its not in system > preferences > Monitors. i need some advice on what todo next | 11:03 |

| GrassMonkey | there is a few names on the card: pro motion aT25, Stealth Video 2500 PCI, Diamond Multimedia Systems | 11:06 |
| oCean | scotty^: use "apt-cache policy fontconfig" to see if the package "fontconfig" is actually installed | 11:06 |
| scotty^ | to /usr/lib and to /usr/lib/pkgconfig | 11:06 |
| scotty^ | but I still get the same error | 11:07 |
| oCean | scotty^: if not, do "sudo apt-get install fontconfig" | 11:07 |
| GrassMonkey | how can i configure the card or check if the drivers are installed or working | 11:07 |
| `marianne` | on my mac, i can take a playlist in itunes and burn it as an mp3 CD, with all the mp3s of that playlist copied to the CD (presumably with the playlist's "track" number prefixed to the filename)... is there any way to do that sort of thing in ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| scotty^ | Synaptic shows fontconfig 2.8.0-2ubuntu1 as being installed by default. | 11:08 |
| tejuu | heyyyo | 11:08 |
| arunkumar413 | abhishekpathak: the iso image is mounted plz help me to add it to repository | 11:08 |

| scotty^ | GrassMonkey: What make and model of card did you say it is? | 11:08 |
| tejuu | heyyo please explain the topic clearly | 11:08 |
| GrassMonkey | r00t4rd3d, 10.10 i386 | 11:09 |
| yeats | `marianne`: in rhythmbox, you should be able to right click on a playlist and burn to CD... | 11:09 |
| hidnshadows | tejuu I'm not sure I understand | 11:09 |
| rww | tejuu: #ubuntu is for technical support with Ubuntu Linux | 11:09 |
| `marianne` | thanks yeats, i'll try :) | 11:09 |

| GrassMonkey | scotty^, not sure very old PCI card from the 90s with the following printed on the board: Pro Motion aT24, Stealth Video 2500 PCI and Diamond Multimedia | 11:10 |
| rww | fnord http://google.com/ | 11:10 |
| tejuu | i c tell me the url to know much more about it | 11:10 |

| ToastedHip | i thought GIMP was invented for Ubuntu. like it was your best buddy. now GIMP is gone? i have it installed but i want better GIMP and that happens by ubuntu realizing gimp is your friends and must be developed on | 11:10 |
| tejuu | yea but am a newbie | 11:11 |
| scotty^ | I've also just tried exporting /usr/bin but that didn't work either. | 11:11 |
| gibran | <Us3r_Unfriendly> yes like that! how? :) | 11:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: it's called compiz | 11:11 |
| hidnshadows | toastedhip amen man | 11:11 |
| `marianne` | ew... i tried getting rhythmbox to load the playlist file and it's loading very slowly and in completely the wrong order, bunching tracks by the same artist all together | 11:12 |
| scotty^ | GrassMonkey: It sounds like you have a Diamond Stealth card. I think these had NVIDIA chips but I could be wrong - I'll check now. | 11:12 |
| yeats | `marianne`: you might try another player? | 11:13 |
| tejuu | interesting | 11:13 |
| yeats | !players | `marianne` | 11:13 |
| ubottu | `marianne`: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 11:13 |
| rww | ToastedHip: Unfortunately, it had to be removed from the LiveCD because it takes up too much space. You can still install it manually, though. | 11:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: terminal: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 11:13 |
| `marianne` | thanks yeats, i'll see if any of them can burn an mp3 CD | 11:13 |
| GrassMonkey | scotty^, thanks | 11:13 |
| r00t4rd3d | GrassMonkey, pm | 11:13 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i mounted the iso file in/media/ubuuntustudio10.10. now how to add it to the repository | 11:14 |
| `marianne` | rhythmbox doesn't actually seem to have a burn disc option anyway | 11:14 |
| r00t4rd3d | GrassMonkey, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36549907/xserver-xorg-video-apm_1.2.2-1_i386.deb | 11:14 |
| r00t4rd3d | install that and see what happens | 11:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: what exactly are you trying to install??? | 11:15 |
| bustedup277 | Good morning. Do you need to download the .iso for Ubuntu 10.04.1 to install it with Wubi or does Wubi install the .iso? | 11:15 |
| r00t4rd3d | wubi will download it | 11:15 |
| r00t4rd3d | you should use 10.10 | 11:15 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i'm not trying to install. i'm trying to add ubuntustudio repository which is in iso image format | 11:15 |
| bustedup277 | But Wubi says that it's download 10.04, so I don't think I can change that. | 11:15 |
| hidnshadows | bustedup277 think twice about using wubi though, just make sure that it's really what you want | 11:15 |
| GrassMonkey | r00t4rd3d, what is it? the most important thing for me is understand the proccess on how to fix the problem rather. could you expline a lil about what this is and how you came to this conclusion | 11:15 |
| bustedup277 | Why should I think twice? | 11:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: but why are you trying to add their repo????? | 11:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: all the packages they have, we have in are repos | 11:16 |
| r00t4rd3d | I googled the jumble of numbers about your video card +ubuntu | 11:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | *our | 11:16 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i want to install the packages of ubuntu studio | 11:16 |
| === _dev_null_ is now known as _dev_zero_ | ||
| bustedup277 | Doesn't Wubi leave Windows 7 as your default OS and still leaves your files so nothing gets lost? | 11:17 |
| r00t4rd3d | and that got me here : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man4/apm.4.html | 11:17 |
| hidnshadows | bustedup277 is there any specific reason that you're want to run it from inside the windows environment? | 11:17 |
| scotty^ | OK, looks like most of the Diamond Stealth cards used S3 chips, although a few used other chips like Tseng Labs and Rendition Verite. | 11:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: why don't you just either install the packages you want or just install Ubuntu stucdio? | 11:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | *studio ...sorry my cat is in my face now | 11:17 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: my net connection is a dialup connection | 11:17 |
| rww | bustedup277: Yes, but running Ubuntu inside Wubi is more fragile than running it in its own space, because if anything goes wonky with either Ubuntu or Windows, Ubuntu breaks. | 11:18 |
| bustedup277 | Hmm | 11:18 |
| hidnshadows | bustedup277 it's your choice really, just BACK YOUR STUFF UP | 11:18 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: and...? | 11:18 |
| bustedup277 | Someone recommended it to my though, because whenever I tried to install it with a USB it would just freeze. | 11:18 |
| bustedup277 | :/ | 11:18 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i already i have too many OS along side 10.10 | 11:19 |
| bustedup277 | Wait, so could Wubi with Ubuntu mess up my whole computer or just Ubuntu? | 11:19 |
| www | How do I prevent "Desktop" folder from regenerating? | 11:19 |
| r00t4rd3d | u dont you need it | 11:19 |
| hidnshadows | www why would you want to, jsut wondering | 11:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: your not making -any- sence to me | 11:20 |
| yeats | bustedup277: as long as you back up, all should be fine | 11:20 |
| yeats | bustedup277: 10.04 is fine, btw - it's supported until 2013 | 11:20 |
| bustedup277 | ok | 11:20 |
| adz_ | is it youbuntu or oobuntu? | 11:21 |
| www | hidnshadows: I don't use desktop per se so the directory is useless (sorry for my wrighting - hven't got the time to config irssi). | 11:21 |
| hidnshadows | adz_ depends on your nationality, I always say oobuntu | 11:21 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | arunkumar413: delete ubuntu and install ubuntu studio or just look in the repos: sudo apt-cache serach ubuntustudio <----way easier | 11:21 |
| ToastedHip | i say you-buntu | 11:21 |
| gibran | <Us3r_Unfriendly> theres a prompt after the python installed what do i type? | 11:21 |
| adz_ | hidnshadows: what the native would pronounce it overrules. ;) | 11:22 |
| hidnshadows | www the desktop folder needs to exist. You can hide it I guess if it's annoying, and if you have OCD | 11:22 |
| bustedup277 | adz_: Wikipedia says to pronounce it "oobuntu". | 11:22 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: y for yes | 11:22 |
| adz_ | bustedup277: that's what i thought. but the native sound is probably no available in englihs phonetics | 11:22 |
| www | hidnshadows: How do hide it? What is OCD? | 11:22 |
| arunkumar413 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i just want to add the iso image of ubuntustudio to my repos. i mounted the iso image. just tell me how to add now. my net connection is very slow.i cant download the ubuntustudio packpages and i dont want to install ubuntu studio as a separate OS as i already have too many OS along side ubuntu 10.10. | 11:22 |
| hidnshadows | adz_ and wikipedia is right 95.237% of the time. Axctually I read that on wikipedia | 11:22 |
| scotty^ | GrassMonkey: try the suggestion from r00t4rd3d and if that doesn't work try using Synaptic Package Manager to install the xserver-xorg-video-s3virge, xserver-xorg-video-s3 and xserver-xorg-video-savage packages | 11:22 |
| gibran | <Us3r_Unfriendly> already typed it, then theres a prompt | 11:22 |
| r00t4rd3d | ocd is obsessive compulsive disorder | 11:23 |
| hidnshadows | www not sure, and it's obsessive-compulsive disorder. Basically everything has to be the same way | 11:23 |
| ay_ | hey | 11:23 |
| www | r00t4rd3d: thanks for expaining. | 11:23 |
| adz_ | hidnshadows: too sad they have to appeal to the mass for money. sometimes i wish i were abdula bin abdula aziz and make the right choice of my money ;) | 11:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: for both ccsm and the extra packages? | 11:23 |
| ay_ | why alsaconf command doesnt work in ubuntu | 11:23 |
| ay_ | i want to configure alsa because there is no sound | 11:23 |
| gibran | yes | 11:23 |
| www | So does anyone knows how to "hide" the desktop folder? | 11:24 |
| r00t4rd3d | ay_, try running alsamixer in a term | 11:24 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: better yet just open up Ubuntu Software Center and search for compiz....add the extra and "ccsm" | 11:24 |
| gibran | <Us3r_Unfriendly> already typed i. Y for yes. then theres this prompt after processing triggers for python-central... | 11:24 |
| yeats | arunkumar413: see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4694/how-to-use-a-iso-image-as-a-cd-rom-repository | 11:24 |

| gibran | ohoh ok | 11:24 |
| ay_ | r00t4rd3d, everything looks good | 11:24 |
| ay_ | r00t4rd3d, but there is no sound | 11:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: compiz is not completely a waste...looks sweet on my rig | 11:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: and i'm all command line | 11:25 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: that means you are too young. ;) | 11:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | it's just for show | 11:25 |
| hidnshadows | BRB, if it's life-threatening or free pizza I give you permission to PM me | 11:25 |
| ay_ | what is the matter | 11:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: lol sure I guess | 11:25 |
| ay_ | this makes desktop beautiful | 11:25 |
| ay_ | compiz makes desktop cool :D | 11:26 |

| adz_ | cute, but useless | 11:26 |
| sjuxax | Hello. Can I apt-get install alternate-installer? I am using the desktop CD but VNC is going really, really slow for some reason and I would prefer to install over SSH | 11:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: but let me ask you this...if compiz is a complete waste of time...why are you using ubuntu? I mean it's about using something unique in it's own way. you could aways go arch or gentoo | 11:27 |
| yeats | sjuxax: you have to download the .iso file - no way to apt-get | 11:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | and I have compiz in arch too | 11:27 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: you can get alternative installer iso and boot from it | 11:27 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: i am not using ubuntu, but definitely debian. i am running knoppix. | 11:28 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: i dont really get what vnc has to do with installer?= | 11:28 |
| sjuxax | I can't boot from the ISO because I am trying to install remotely, so I can't place the media. | 11:28 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: so how do you boot? | 11:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: debian is a good one too if you want to stay with apt-get | 11:28 |
| sjuxax | I suggest making the alternate installer an installable package, I don't see any point in not doing that | 11:28 |
| hidnshadows | scotty^ unfortunately no, make sure that you have it spelled correctly is all | 11:28 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: i guss i have this weird good chemistry with lone-man's distro of linux, i started out with slackware in 1995 | 11:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: i guess than your a old man | 11:29 |
| sjuxax | It's already booted, I set up SSH and VNC on it, and want the install completed before I shut it down | 11:29 |
| scotty^ | ok, thanks | 11:29 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: aah, that's not possible | 11:29 |
| hidnshadows | scotty^, sorry mate | 11:29 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: not old. but not young any more ;) | 11:29 |
| juniour | he y any command to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 | 11:29 |
| ay_ | anyone experience with freebsd | 11:30 |
| ay_ | juniour, update-manager -d | 11:30 |
| gobbe | ay_: #freebsd | 11:30 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: i my early years, i run xdaliclock all the time with my desktop changes shape with seconds. ;) | 11:30 |
| ay_ | juniour, and you can see a warning new version is available | 11:30 |
| sjuxax | gobbe: Not possible to complete the install remotely? I don't really mean "totally completed", if there's your little welcome/config screen or finishing up afterward that's fine. I just want to get most of the install done remotely so I can be in and out when I get on-site tomorrow. | 11:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: well slackware was designed in '91 so that's old | 11:31 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: yes, but you cannot run alternative-installer from desktop | 11:31 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: i got my first pc in 95, so. | 11:31 |

| PalmBalm|Slide | would be nice to have a linux pxe server running at all times | 11:32 |
| sjuxax | gobbe: Yes, that's unfortunate. It'd be much nicer if the alternate installer were included. | 11:32 |
| adz_ | oCean: ok. | 11:32 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: well it's quite impossible because source media is totally different there | 11:32 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: if you compare it to "live" desktop | 11:32 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | adz_: never mind him | 11:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | he didn't read the whole thing adz_ | 11:33 |
| r00t4rd3d | I was wondering who he was | 11:33 |
| adz_ | Us3r_Unfriendly: no biggie, don't mention it | 11:33 |
| sjuxax | gobbe: Hmm, well, I'm not very familiar with the internals, but I don't see why a text installer and a "live" environment can't co-exist | 11:33 |
| sjuxax | The live environment isn't the thing installed afaik | 11:34 |
| galaxyAbstractor | hey | 11:34 |
| sjuxax | i.e., the environment with alterations made on the live session | 11:34 |

| juniour | ay_ sr speed | 11:34 |
| gobbe | sjuxax: no, but alternative installer includes much more and it's impossible to fit them both on cd | 11:34 |
| galaxyAbstractor | Can I extend my ubuntu partition in ubuntu? | 11:34 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | just message me instead...some ppl get real upset reading about other things in this chat that aren't diehard ubuntu conversation...I just wish these ppl were more helpful and not like those types of ops out there | 11:34 |
| temal | is there a tool for with cli-only? | 11:34 |
| gobbe | galaxyAbstractor: if it's lvm partition then you can | 11:34 |
| galaxyAbstractor | lvm? | 11:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | temal: what are you looking for exactly? | 11:35 |
| oCean | Us3r_Unfriendly: just abide by the channel rules please | 11:35 |
| sjuxax | gobbe: Right, but you can include that actual installation program, right? Why does the curses installer take so much more space? Even if we install the normal live packages, the installation program should work OK. | 11:35 |
| sacarlson | sjuxax: maybe in the furture just make a remastersys of what you really want on your remote system and send them the iso for that to boot | 11:35 |

| loser149 | I want to buy an external 3TB hard drive and connect it via USB for backup purposes. does Ubuntu have similar problems accessing drives > 2 TB, as Windows does? | 11:38 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, synaptic preferences | 11:39 |
| gobbe | loser149: no | 11:39 |
| sjuxax | I am installing on an older machine and the environment and installer is really slow -- should I use Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu? I needed the live environment but I may just take the alternate CD and install from that so that I can get something there. | 11:39 |
| galaxyAbstractor | gobbe, I'm not on ubuntu right now, I'm just asking because I have shrinked my windows partition because it was too large, and I want to extend that space to my backup partition, but the ubuntu partition is between the unallocated space and the backup partition | 11:39 |
| abhishekpathak | sjuxax, you can tru xubuntu or lubuntu | 11:39 |
| sjuxax | but now I am done with the live part and just trying to install; this isn't working very well, however | 11:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: right click desktop and go to change background > visual effects and enable the extra box | 11:39 |

| abhishekpathak | sjuxax, have patience , its a one time thing :) | 11:40 |
| juniour | abhishekpatha i am not getting u exp step by step pls | 11:40 |
| loser149 | gobbe: how do you know? I thought it was more a hardware issue with HBAs and such? | 11:40 |
| sacarlson | sjuxax: there are total automated install methods that might make things run smother | 11:40 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, default ubuntu comes with gnome as the desktop environment | 11:40 |
| galaxyAbstractor | so I was thinking of making that unallocated space my backup partition, then remove the current backup partition and extend my ubuntu partition with that space, because I only got like 2GB left on the ubuntu partition | 11:40 |
| sjuxax | abhishekpathak: I don't even get as far as the actual installation. | 11:40 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: then go to system>preferences>compizconfig-setting-manager | 11:41 |
| abhishekpathak | there are other variations | 11:41 |
| pilulap | Hi all. I'm a new linux user (and using ubuntu). I want to install jmol which is a java applet but there are no informations about that on ubuntu forum. There is some command line to install a debian package from a new repo but it seems not to work with ubuntu: http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Debian | 11:41 |
| sjuxax | I just wish that alternate installer came on live cd. Then, when this was going slowly, I could have just canned the whole VNC thing and done it all over SSH, which is working fine | 11:41 |
| abhishekpathak | xubuntu uses xfce and lubuntu uses lxde which are faster and minimal resource hungry | 11:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | gibran: or "ALT F2" and type in ccsm | 11:41 |
| asker | hi there | 11:41 |
| juniour | abhishekpatha i am using 10.04 | 11:42 |
| abhishekpathak | sjuxax, can you explain your problem in detail | 11:42 |
| sjuxax | but VNC has much heavier requirements, the pipes at both ends aren't very thick, and VNC seems to be really slow running out of the already-crammed RAM and CD. | 11:42 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, yes xubuntu and lubuntu also have the same version numbers | 11:42 |
| sacarlson | sjuxax: if your already able to ssh into it there are also methods to install from that point, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html | 11:42 |

| sjuxax | My problem is that I can't do anything because there is no way to get a non-graphical installer on the Live CD. | 11:42 |
| juniour | abhishekpatha how to change | 11:42 |
| asker | anybody knows wich font is used by the xterm console? this font is like Sun console font :) i try to rememeber his name, but oops | 11:42 |
| galaxyAbstractor | currently the partitions are placed like this: http://pixomania.net/pics/5hkb6a.png | 11:42 |
| juniour | i am getting 15kb/s speed | 11:42 |
| juniour | not more than that | 11:43 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, you can search for xubuntu and download the live cd there | 11:43 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, i am afraid speed is another issue | 11:43 |
| galaxyAbstractor | or would it be easier to just remove the ubuntu partition, and fix the partitions correctly this time, then reinstall ubuntu? | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | asker: you mean the 'console' or the 'xterm' program? | 11:43 |
| adz_ | asker: been using 10x20: xterm -fn 10x20 | 11:43 |

| adz_ | asker: big, very big. ;) | 11:43 |
| juniour | but when i am doing youtube i am getting excellent speed | 11:43 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, speed depends on entirely different factors | 11:43 |
| abhishekpathak | sjuxax, why do you want a non graphical installer? | 11:44 |
| juniour | y am i getting low speed? | 11:44 |
| abhishekpathak | juniour, download speed will depend on the mirrors | 11:44 |

| abhishekpathak | if you are getting high speed means speed at your end is okay | 11:45 |
| juniour | with other sites it fine | 11:45 |
| abhishekpathak | the mirror is not giving good speed | 11:45 |
| abhishekpathak | yes | 11:45 |

| mylisto | I have a logitech usb headset that is super quiet... | 11:46 |
| abhishekpathak | its in system, preferences, synaptic | 11:46 |

| abhishekpathak | inside synaptic you click on preferences | 11:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rtoo: sudo mount -o loop | 11:46 |
| scotty^ | pilulap: Does it have to be jmol? The ubuntu repositories have rasmol, avogadro, pymol, and gdis. | 11:46 |

| loser149 | Walex: what is? | 11:47 |
| mylisto | is there any terminal command that I can use to find out the model of my usb headset? | 11:47 |
| Walex | loser149: 3TBG drive and especially via USB, as there are likely to be lots of bugs, never mind the speed. | 11:48 |
| gobbe | mylisto: lshw might give it | 11:48 |
| xD | mylisto: 'lsusb' may get some info | 11:48 |
| rtoo | mylisto: lsmod -v | 11:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rtoo: no not in grub...have you looked at mounting /dev/loop0 to your grub? | 11:48 |
| loser149 | Walex: bugs? Software bugs in Ubuntu? | 11:48 |
| abhishekpathak | mylisto, try lspci --help | 11:48 |
| gobbe | loser149: and most of the 3TB externals are actually raid0 with 1.5T disks | 11:48 |
| Walex | loser149: in he firmware for the USB chipsets for example. | 11:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | mylisto: sudo lshw should work too i believe | 11:48 |
| Walex | loser149: be realistic -- don't expect everything to work just like that. | 11:49 |
| rtoo | Us3r_Unfriendly: I have no idea how this works in grub. what should I google? 'booting from loop0 in grub'? | 11:49 |
| scotty^ | There is also Viewmol | 11:49 |
| loser149 | Walex: well, actually it is an internal HDD, I just use it as an external without an ICY box, because of heating issues. | 11:49 |
| sacarlson | sjuxax: you can install just with the ssh access you now have with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH | 11:49 |
| Walex | loser149: also consider the time to 'fsck' a 3TB hard drive. It is a problem with everything. | 11:49 |

| mr_shed | campbellgolf, basically I've been spending time learning to use LAMP (which is why I installed Ubuntu in the first place) and I really am surprised at how much progress I've made and how incredibly simple a lot of it is.

| www32ndy | hi | 13:11 |
| diecastarts | k yeah so it the broadcom one | 13:12 |
| gobbe | bustedup277: broadcom needs 3rd party drivers, which can be installed with Additional Drivers | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bustedup277: you proberly should connect via wire, and update/upgrade the system. then figure out what drivers are needed. its proberly the 'sta' drivers . but broadcom cards can be weird. | 13:12 |
| bustedup277 | umm ok? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bustedup277: its posssible once you update/upgrade - that the Addational Drivers tool - may show the proper drivers | 13:13 |
| mr_shed | also, anyone know how to get Rhythmbox to remember locations and passwords for music folders in windows (Vista) shares. | 13:13 |
| diecastarts | yeah be the easiest way bustedup277 | 13:13 |
| diecastarts | just hardwire to the router and connect on LAN | 13:13 |
| bustedup277 | DR_Willis and anyone else: Can I download the drivers from Windows? | 13:13 |

| campbellgolf | mr_shred if you are targeting the .NET framework, I highly recommend you learn C#, it has larger project base and more advanced development opportunities than VB, though you can use both languages against nearly all the same .NET framework. do you have a .NET project? If you still require development of .NET on LNX, there is always mono... but caution the lack of full support. the only opensource combo that I have d | 13:19 |

| rumpe2 | nightcrow, well... man hostname says, there is a script /etc/init.d/hostname.sh ... use it | 13:22 |
| blup | gobbe: i'm using minecraft as an example... it happens with any .jre | 13:22 |

| mr_shed | campbellgolf, I was thinking of downloading Visual Web 2008 on my Vista machine. I understand c# is rather "Java-like" from what I've seen on the web. | 13:22 |
| rumpe2 | nightcrow, look into the script... there is also a parameter "reload" | 13:23 |

| rumpe2 | nightcrow, is the package hostname installed? | 13:25 |
| mr_shed | my main concern is that, given what Visual Web Developer can do 'out of the box' with a few mere drag-and-drop motions, is everybody going to be moving in that direction? I see much of the web now either operating on MVC foundations (using various frameworks) or .NET 2/3.5/4 ... no longer see much about "simple" php-mysql or even AJAX. | 13:25 |
| gobbe | Stava: still. it has nothing to do with ubuntu support | 13:25 |
| gobbe | Stava: you should ask from #knoppix or google | 13:25 |
| nightcrow_ | rumpe2: isnt it default? | 13:25 |
| rumpe2 | nightcrow_, don't know ... here (ubuntu 10.04) it is | 13:26 |
| blup | gobbe: no, nothing relevant in the syslog... and as i've said, i thought with a new computer and new OS (Mint Ubuntu 10.10), it would fix the problem, but i haven't successfully ran a java file since i changed to linux | 13:26 |

| campbellgolf | mr_shred actually, M$ is pushing WPF (Windows Resentation Foundation) using XAML to link various UI elements. I don't think is as drag'n drop as the classic .NET development has been since .NET 1.0 | 13:27 |

| gobbe | blup: c's i'm running several jar's everyday without problems, tho they are not games | 13:29 |
| campbellgolf | mr_shred anyways check that out, and PM me for additional info, I don't think the folks on the #Ubuntu channel appreciate us hijacking it for a M$ discussion.. what sux, is there are no decent IRC channels for M$ that I have found, nothing compared to Java IRC channels ;-( | 13:29 |
| wyclif | Stava: navigate to that page, scroll down and use "Method 1", follow the instructions | 13:29 |
| Stava | wyclif, thanks | 13:30 |
| wyclif | Stava: it's 9 or 10 steps but they're simple | 13:30 |
| wyclif | Stava: no worries, hope it helps | 13:31 |
| blup | gobbe: in fact, last time i had this issue with my old computer, ubuntu would crash running 'Processing' files, but if i ran them in vmware with windows xp, it would run fine.. | 13:31 |

I have super-massive folder of mp3s and FLACs, which I can easily drag-n-drop into "other" more bloated media-applications, unfortunately, when I drag-n- | 13:36 |
| mr_shed | drop it into Rhythmbox... it imports some, crashes, takes down the explorer folder with it, then comes back, shows it's still importing, then crashes ... on and on ... | 13:36 |

| sacarlson | mr_shed: if you just mounted you shares as normal directory with your user that you now play with having normal access to them I wouldn't expect you would see this type of error | 13:49 |
| === devil is now known as Devil | ||

| r00t4rd3d | h-dee, goto users and groups , then click manage groups , scroll down to www-data , highlight , click properties , your username should be in the box , check it. | 13:50 |
| h-dee | r00t4rd3d: I changed the owner, and it did copied. However the script is not executing. I'm trying to run SocialEngine script. Now trying Wordpress to check if it works. Thanks! | 13:50 |

| r00t4rd3d | wyclif, why are you always issuing them things to people ? | 13:53 |
| prince12 | I AM USING WINDOWS XP NOW BUT IT IS VERY BAD | 13:53 |
| Rubenstukken | sacarlson, I'm not so sure about that, you can open the installation file from a windows-environment which will shutdown windows and then update the bios.. here is the explanation from Dell http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R142795&SystemID=DIM_P4_C521&servicetag=6JZ24D1&os=WLH&osl=en&deviceid=308&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=4&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=1&fileid=190570 | 13:53 |

| r00t4rd3d | prince12, turn off caps lock | 13:54 |
| wyclif | r0t4rd3d: first one was my mistake | 13:54 |
| mole1 | sacarlson...if I have understood this right an audio CD won't play or show in Rhythmbox unless one has installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? Unfortunately clicking on the link to install this on the page you gave a return "not found"...trying via the terminal gives the same response...is this maybe due to temporary unavailability perhaps?...is there anywhere else to get it? | 13:54 |
| prince12 | ok i have turned off caps lock | 13:54 |
| benkay86 | How can I search for a Microsoft Word document containing a text string? | 13:54 |
| wyclif | prince12: yay | 13:54 |
| r00t4rd3d | prince12, use the ubuntu torrent | 13:54 |
| r00t4rd3d | that way you can start , stop , resume | 13:54 |
| r00t4rd3d | etc | 13:54 |
| wyclif | r00t4rd3d: because he wanted to know where to download Ubuntu and it's easier than saying the same things over and over again | 13:55 |
| prince12 | ok wait | 13:55 |
| mr_shed | sacarlson, that's the problem, I can w-r-x them perfectly well. I set up the shares months back and nothing was causing me any problems :( | 13:55 |
| r00t4rd3d | prince12, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt | 13:55 |
| r00t4rd3d | for the torrents | 13:55 |
| sacarlson | Rubenstukken: well one method calls out Run the BIOS update utility from Windows environment, so is that not doable from a virtualbox run of windows? | 13:55 |
| gobbe | benkay86: doesn't openoffice open it? | 13:55 |
| jo_ | hello there, i'm on the ubuntu website trrying to upgrade to 10.10 and it says that i should "check" in update update manager but when i "check" nothing appears | 13:56 |

| Sriram | mole1, Nope, seems to be working for me | 13:56 |

| virtuald | i found no way to translate the wiki so i guess it's not possible at this time | 13:57 |
| sacarlson | mr_shed: from what you wanted my audaciuos sounded good | 13:57 |
| Rubenstukken | sacarlson, you think it will not be a problem that I am running Ubuntu while updating the Bios? to be honest I don't know much about computers I just try figuring things out when I need to do so, Where is the Bios located also on the hard drive? Is it not a problem that I am running ubuntu then, it uses the Bios or am I wrong, or will it nog be a problem...? i dont want to fuck things up by trying | 13:57 |
| benkay86 | rumpe2, gobbe: Thanks, I'm familiar with grep -ir. Unfortunately this question pertains to my 60 year-old father. | 13:57 |
| jo_ | sriram: thank you <3 | 13:58 |
| sacarlson | Rubenstukken: to update the bios is a risky thing so the safist method is always best | 13:58 |
| Sriram | jo_: Your welcome | 13:58 |
| elky | is there a way to split contacts in evolution that have accidentally been merged somehow? | 13:59 |
| mr_shed | sacarlson, I'm going to try that thanks. I'm just not sure why Rhythmbox is having trouble with the NAS share folder. it puzzles me ... I could have made a mistake on the mounting, I'm sure, but I don't see any problems with it anywhere else. | 13:59 |
| sacarlson | Rubenstukken: I think I would install dual boot if that was an option, witch it is | 13:59 |

| Sriram | elky: Don't think so. | 14:01 |
| sacarlson | mr_shed: your NAS already have /etc/fstab entries I"m sure | 14:01 |

| Sriram | jo_: What wine chat thing? | 14:01 |
| Sriram | jo_: Wine channel on IRC? | 14:02 |
| Rubenstukken | sacarlson, Yes It seems that thats the best solution, I will need to find a pirate version of win xp or something, dont have any cd of it. I installed Ubuntu on the machine to avoid having to install windows which always gives me much more problems than installing Ubuntu. I havent worked with windows for a long time, and I am pretty scared of it :D | 14:02 |

| midas | Ok more specifically, i want to know (now that SVN works) where the files are, so that I can make that the webroot (its for website dev) thx | 14:27 |
| vadimkiselev | <cutiyar> you need to change mod from flash to modem | 14:27 |

| linker | juniour, if i want to cancel its job how? | 14:27 |
| cutiyar | <vadimkiselev ,how? | 14:27 |

| jeff72834 | i have tried that | 14:31 |
| jeff72834 | no luck | 14:31 |
| Sriram | gobbe, Sorry | 14:31 |
| h-dee | gobbe: Tried both. Nothing worked. 'upgrade' installed what UPDATE MANAGER was listing, and 'update' updated package list. Neither updated individual installed apps. | 14:31 |
| sacarlson | h-dee: you can go into synaptic and select all the apps you want to upgrade and click apply | 14:31 |

| IdleOne | h-dee: keep in mind that the packages will only be upgraded if there is a upgrade available in the repositories. So you may read about a new release of an application but that does not mean it is in the repos (yet) | 14:33 |

| gobbe | grandrew: alternative installer | 14:35 |
| juniour | k | 14:35 |
| sresu | bastidrazor: ty | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | h-dee: all depends. Ubuntu strives for stability and not always having the most up to date version. | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | grandrew: not a whole lot to it.. asks a few questions.. doesd the install... | 14:35 |
| h-dee | IdleOne: Okay Thanks! :-) | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | h-dee: sure thing | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | grandrew: unless you are refering to somthing other then the alternative installer. | 14:35 |
| grandrew | I want to install base system from command line | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | grandrew | 14:35 |
| ubottu | grandrew: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:35 |

| sam_ | heres my problem, i have win 7 installed i also partioned my hd to allow space for ubuntu. im not sure exactly what happened but i couldnt get eighter to load. now i have been using both for a while dual boot. i get an error this day thats said cant find partion. so i put in my live cd and figure i can reinstall to recove my grub. i install to free space which is like 12g and when i start my cpu i get the grub load win7 or ubuntu. i choose ub | 14:36 |
| sam_ | untu. but it loads the new one not the one i had i still have the other ubuntu partion i can access it through the places then computer how can i get it to load to the original ubuntu? | 14:36 |
| shuimu | hi！ | 14:37 |
| sam_ | hi | 14:37 |
| h-dee | IdleOne: Yeah the repos aren't updated. LOL! | 14:37 |
| coz_ | fabula, | 14:37 |
| grandrew | I actually tried to install from alternate minimal cd but the automatic installation is broken due to bug with absence of --force-yes in pae kernel installation script; so I need to know how to install the base system from command line only | 14:38 |
| sam_ | so basicaly i have to ubuntus installed the original one and the one i just installed but i want to have it boot to the otiginal and delete the other new one | 14:38 |
| NixGeek | sam_delete the new partition and follow number 13 on this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 | 14:38 |
| coz_ | grandrew, did you try the minimal install cd | 14:38 |
| sam_ | ok ty | 14:38 |
| sam_ | how do i delete the partion? | 14:38 |
| NixGeek | sam_, you are very welcome, glad I could help. | 14:39 |
| sam_ | im running on the new partion now | 14:39 |
| IdleOne | h-dee: they are updated fairly often, just that Ubuntu does not automatically update/upgrade a package just because it has been released. | 14:39 |
| coz_ | grandrew, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | sam_: fdisk, or gparted. or just reformat ti some new clean filesystem | 14:39 |
| vadimkiselev | <sam_> gparted from livecd | 14:39 |
| NixGeek | boot into the ubuntu live cd, go to system > administration> gparted | 14:39 |
| sam_ | ok ty ill let ya know how it goes ty again | 14:39 |
| grandrew | coz_, yes I am using it right now. It is broken so I need to use it in command-line only install method. I want to know how. | 14:39 |
| h-dee | IdleOne: Yeah...got that. Thanks! :-) | 14:39 |
| coz_ | grandrew, are you using the alternate cd or the minmal install cd? | 14:40 |
| grandrew | minimal | 14:40 |
| NixGeek | find the partitiona and choose delete. make sure it's the new installation though, you don't want to accidently delete your old one. | 14:40 |
| coz_ | grandrew, oh mmm | 14:40 |

| erUSUL | tas: in command type "empathy". | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | Sriram: depends on the chat client you use | 14:42 |
| NixGeek | sacarison, if he deltes the new install and follows the guide I pointed him to, he will be able to reinstall just grub from the live cd | 14:42 |
| sam_ | ok is there a way to tell which one is which? is there a date one them when i created them? | 14:42 |

| juniour | ya try this | 14:47 |
| coz_ | john99999999, a dist -upgrade will replace applications with new versions if they are available | 14:47 |
| john99999999 | same as upgrade? | 14:47 |

| coz_ | john99999999, sorry | 14:48 |
| coz_ | john99999999, apt-get upgrade will upgrade the package versions on your system when a newer version is available. It still does dependency checking and will skip upgrading a package in the case of a conflict | 14:48 |

| sacarlson | elvanor: ACPI would be a part of the kernel so you might try going eather back to an older or try a newer kernel, look in synaptic first then in ppa | 15:28 |
| rs0832 | tei, did you try disabling some of the boot options? | 15:29 |
| tei | No, how do I do that? | 15:29 |
| elvanor | sacarlson, yes; I am trying to dl ubuntu 11.04 to see if it is better | 15:29 |
| sacarlson | elvanor: ok but remember newer is not always better | 15:29 |
| rs0832 | AbstractBeliefs, are you using madwifi? | 15:29 |

| elvanor | rs0832, nothing much | 15:31 |
| AbstractBeliefs | rs0832: whatever comes packaged with the server (i earlier used "modprobe ath5k" to double check that the module was applied. would this include madwifi?) | 15:31 |

| sta11 | WeThePeople: check this out http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tools-to-access-linux-partitions-from-windows.html | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | EpicFialGuy: make a fstab entry for them - or perhaps thers some udev rules you can tweak. that 'ntfs-config' tool may help | 15:36 |

| elvanor | rs0832, I tried the alternate cd, but as it is a cd it did not boot | 15:54 |
| arfoll | ikonia, and why do you want the closed source ones? | 15:55 |
| ikonia | arfoll: because the open ones don't work with all ATI cards | 15:55 |

| Stava | If I run ubuntu test/live from a usb memory stick, how can I mount that memory stick for writing? | 15:58 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia: how do I mount it if I don't know what /dev to use? | 15:58 |
| vultraz | can anyone help me? how do I tell testdisk to save files copied on a different disk then the one its on? | 15:58 |
| ToastedHip | impossible. this computer was bought at a high price from best buy | 15:58 |
| ikonia | ToastedHip: the price has nothing to do with it | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | guampa, check your server address connection: netstat --tcp | 15:59 |
| Blue1 | vultraz: depends on mount points | 15:59 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: sudo fdisk -l do you see the disk | 15:59 |
| rs0832 | AbstractBeliefs, well, i m sorry but the backports is the best i can think of... i am not really experienced with networks... but good luck to you if you havnt got a solution yet:) | 15:59 |
| dr4c4n | JuJuBee: use dmesg to find out what it's named as | 15:59 |
| Blue1 | vultraz: in my system root (/) is /dev/sda but /home is /dev/sdb | 15:59 |
| dr4c4n | JuJuBee: it should say in there corresponding after you've inserted it | 15:59 |
| jeff72834 | I am still having problems with wireless connection but when i go into firefox tools and add ons i can disable and it restarts firefox and displays page but can not go to any other page or any links off of home page any ideas what is causing this? | 16:00 |
| JuJuBee | nothing about the external hd | 16:00 |
| AbstractBeliefs | rs0832: thank you anyway =] | 16:00 |
| Blue1 | vultraz: controlled by fstab | 16:00 |
| brahmana | ikonia: another follow-up question. After that copy will that newly copied partition be bootable? | 16:00 |
| rs0832 | AbstractBeliefs, :) | 16:00 |
| vultraz | well, ive connected a external hd via a apricorn ez gig 2 and want to save on that | 16:00 |
| Stava | If I run ubuntu test/live from a usb memory stick, how can I mount that memory stick for writing? /cdrom seems to contain the usb sticks files, but its read-only | 16:00 |
| guampa | BluesKaj: all i get are the connections to internet (all over usb0), i get to internet over a 3g dongle | 16:00 |
| vultraz | so i check its mount point then what | 16:00 |
| jeff72834 | It does the same thing when i enable add ons as well but will not go to any other pages says cannot find server | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | jeff72834, unfortunately that's probly a cached version of the browser, it's not actually connectrd to the net | 16:01 |
| guampa | BluesKaj: eth0 is connected to a tplink ap/router (it isn't connected to internet) | 16:01 |
| brahmana | ikonia: That is to say, if that target partition was on a separate disk, can I attach that disk to a different machine and boot from that one? | 16:01 |
| Blue1 | vultraz: just create the mount point (mkdir whatever) then mount it: mount /dev/sdb1 /whatever | 16:01 |
| JuJuBee | dr4c4n: no mention of the usb drive | 16:01 |
| Blue1 | vultraz: so when you refer to /whatever it points to the 2nd drive | 16:01 |
| jeff72834 | any ideas on how to fix? This is driving me crazy | 16:01 |
| Blue1 | vultraz: or whereever your mounted it | 16:01 |
| dr4c4n | JuJuBee: it will say something similar to mount usb on /dev/sdb1 or something similar | 16:01 |
| JuJuBee | dr4c4n: in fdisk and no mention of /dev in dmesg | 16:01 |
| JuJuBee | dr4c4n: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549555/ | 16:02 |
| ikonia | brahmana: it will, however keep in mind your grub config will be wrong unless you are replacing that disk with the old one | 16:02 |
| dr4c4n | JuJuBee: 1 sec | 16:02 |
| vultraz | but the question is HOW do i refer | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | guampa, sorry I know nothing about 3g dongle/phone connections | 16:03 |

| Blue1 | vultraz: priv. mesage ok? | 16:03 |
| vultraz | so testdisk had to be on the external drive too? | 16:03 |
| ikonia | brahmana: if you want to boot from it while your original disk is in, you will need to change the grub configuration, if you want to use it as a backup disk and replace the original disk, it will be fine | 16:03 |

| electro | I have a dual boot going on between 10.10 and Windows 7 where ubuntu is installed first. My root drive is ext4 and windows is on the 2nd partition. I reinstalled grub on the system, but had to boot off the live CD and chroot into the OS since its ext4. My issue now is that I am never prompted with the grub menu to select my windows install now. I commented out hiddenmenu in the menu.lst, but I still cant hit ESC to get the menu it ju | 16:47 |
| dr4c4n | MorphixNW: excellent :) have a good 1 | 16:47 |
| nicolas | hi | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | electro: menu.lst? You using grub2 or grub1? | 16:48 |
| Slyboots | this si driving me up the bloody wall.. two weeks trying to get "XRender" extension working over VNC | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | electro: you hit the shift key also i belive. for grub2 | 16:49 |
| Slyboots | And I cant even get freeNX to bloody work | 16:49 |
| Slyboots | (Package is busted I think; keeps saying "service freenx not reconised) | 16:49 |
| nicolas | #nicolas | 16:49 |
| gobbe | !grub2 | electro | 16:50 |
| ubottu | electro: 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 | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Slyboots: yea 0 - i got freenx working once by following the freenx ubuntu wiki. but it was a bit confuseing given there seems tobe 2 variants of freenx out now. (freenx and the otehr one) | 16:50 |
| MorphixNW | dr4c4n: hope this works as I dont wanna lose the content of the drives | 16:50 |
| Slyboots | Dr_Willis: its not that.. can get it to install but I cant start the service | 16:50 |
| adrian_ | siemanko | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Slyboots: you could always manually start it from /etc/rc.local i guess | 16:50 |
| Slyboots | Its extreamly fustrating | 16:50 |
| Slyboots | That doesnt work either | 16:51 |

| Slyboots | running /etc/init.d/freenx-server start produces the same error message | 16:51 |
| Arxiss | This is quite weird but here it goes. Every 15 seconds or so, my screen "flashes" like its refreshing picture. Is this only me.. or you heard something like this before? | 16:51 |
| campbellgolf_ | sudo apt-get install dtkpod ... does not work | 16:51 |
| campbellgolf_ | sp..gdkpod | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Slyboots: when i played with it. i dont think i used the other nx variant. not the frrnx one. | 16:51 |
| Slyboots | neatx? | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | yea that sounds right. | 16:52 |
| Slyboots | I installed it; but couldnt get my client to connect | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | The docs at the time were very messed up. | 16:52 |
| Slyboots | :( | 16:52 |

| Ryu_Kurisu | Hi everyone, I think I've found a bug, but I'm asking here first if it's just me; when I add an new keyboard lay-out and remove the old lay-out it's all fine and dandy, but after a reboot the old lay-out returns (even if I applied it system-wide). Is this a bug, or is it just me? (Error occurred on different systems) | 16:53 |

| hanasaki | ClamAV 0.96.3 it doesn't catch a virus that when uplaoded to the clam site says its in ClamAV 0.96.5 | 17:06 |
| hanasaki | gobbe: what is the release date on .3 | 17:07 |
| Ryu_Kurisu | hanasaki: You need to find a PPA which contains the newest version. Maybe on the ClamAV website? | 17:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | aimio, sorry I don't have any suggestions for you. Best of luck. The not being able to RC on desktop (origional problem) I may have been able to help with. | 17:07 |
| ivan_ | #ubuntu-ru | 17:07 |
| hanasaki | Ryu_Kurisu: no .deb on the clam site. Ryu_Kurisu ppa has .3 not .5 | 17:07 |

| ZykoticK9 | sresu, add it to fstab | 17:08 |

| KM0201 | mattyh88: are you in a folder that has no files/documents | 17:27 |
| mattyh88 | KM0201: i'm in the root | 17:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | lisa_, there are two command you need to run - cd into the main extracted directory then run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" then if you want gnome integration cd into the subdirectory and install the single deb in there too - "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" would work there. | 17:27 |
| KM0201 | mattyh88: well, ls should show some files | 17:28 |
| DigressNow | I have plenty of space | 17:28 |
| DigressNow | I thought | 17:28 |
| mattyh88 | KM0201: yeh, that's what i thought, but it doesnt :p haha | 17:29 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: i dunno, id probably download 10.10 and just do a clean install of it... something obviously happened... 9.04 is EOL anyway | 17:29 |
| DigressNow | I tried that and it did the error out of disk again | 17:29 |
| DigressNow | is 10.10 lucid or maverick? I tried that with maverick | 17:30 |
| gobbe | guampa: disabled or closed? | 17:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | DigressNow, 10.10 is mav | 17:30 |
| Brian72helpMe | I need help: I am trying to access an encrypted home folder from a Live USB ... there are 2 files in it "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" and "README.txt" ... the command from the README doesn't work in Terminal. What next? | 17:30 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: maverick is 10.10... doing a clean install of maverick(overwriting all the 9.04 silliness) should resolve this. | 17:30 |
| guampa | gobbe: no, disabled. Manually flushed all iptables rules and set all policies to ACCEPT | 17:30 |
| gobbe | guampa: well, try to close it down and see what happens | 17:30 |
| DigressNow | ok, I'll give that a try. Going to maverick is what caused the out of disk error to begin with though | 17:31 |
| DigressNow | but I'll try a clean install rather than the update | 17:31 |
| __name__ | hello | 17:31 |
| __name__ | can i tell apt i want certain packages from natty? | 17:31 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: well, try a clean install, and you might want to make your ubuntu partitions bigger.. how big are they now?\ | 17:31 |
| guampa | gobbe: not sure i understand what "close down" means | 17:31 |
| poopmaster1 | I added a new account and disabled root from SSHing in, but if I add that new account to the /etc/sudoers file wouldn't disabling root from SSH have been useless then? | 17:31 |
| DigressNow | I hav 200 gigs on ubuntu and 120 on xp | 17:32 |
| DigressNow | should be plenty | 17:32 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: you're not out of space then, unless you have some unusual partition set up | 17:32 |
| DigressNow | on this machine I only have 10 gigs on ubuntu and its always been fine | 17:32 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: how is that 200gigs partitioned? | 17:32 |
| gobbe | guampa: sudo service ufw stop | 17:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | __name__, no - mixing repo's between release distributions is a bad idea. you could "try" to install just the DEBs from the updated program but that may not work out. Check if there is a PPA with the updated program version available. | 17:32 |
| gobbe | poopmaster1: well it disables access with root account | 17:33 |
| AbstractBeliefs | does anyone know if the rescue remix contains ms-sys? | 17:33 |
| gobbe | poopmaster1: sudo just allows users to run command with root rights | 17:33 |
| DigressNow | I had 120 as NFTS for xp, then the other as ext3 I think its ext4 now - which is broken into I think 2 sub partitions, the swap, and the main | 17:33 |
| guampa | gobbe: there, i stopped it, still the same results though | 17:33 |
| DigressNow | swap is 5 gigs | 17:33 |
| __name__ | ZykoticK9: Yes I already did that, it's a lot of work and does not give me patches to natty | 17:33 |
| poopmaster1 | gobbe: Isn't that essentially the same thing? if you can run commands with root rights wouldn't that be just as if you logged in under the root account? | 17:33 |
| gobbe | guampa: so no traffic at all to outside works? | 17:34 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: ok, just boot the maverick CD, do "manual partitioning" at the install phase, delete the old / and replace it w/ a new one, and you should be fine | 17:34 |

| mactimes | Aihetleos, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove --purge compiz && apt-get clean && apt-get install compiz | 18:15 |
| DigressNow | KM0201: It went back to the error: out of disk after reinstalling 10.10 | 18:15 |
| txomon | P4G0: ^^ i also wanted for that, and I discovered that it is better to classify them by name than unifying them | 18:15 |
| rigved | juniour: use a live cd to back up your files and then perform a clean install. this is the best way to get rid of errors like this | 18:15 |
| DigressNow | ub rescue | 18:15 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: you're doing something wrong... | 18:15 |
| P4G0 | the same for muvies, pictures and so on... important data is automatically backed up via cron... | 18:15 |
| txomon | juniour: bad thing installing ubuntu and windows in same partition | 18:15 |
| KM0201 | DigressNow: either you've ot partitioned your drive correctly, or something.. 200gigs is enormous for ubuntu | 18:15 |
| txomon | juniour: haveu any idea of which was the error? | 18:16 |
| Aihetleos | <mactimes> and what is that doing? | 18:16 |
| txomon | Aihetleos: it uninstalls compiz | 18:16 |
| bluezone | txomon: he upgraded, and it probably failed that way | 18:16 |
| juniour | txomon like not found | 18:16 |
| P4G0 | txomon: it has to be one big folder, because MediaPortal is only accepting one folder for recordings... i could move them, but i don't want to | 18:16 |
| stason | error creating bootloader during clean 10.10 install. What to do? | 18:16 |
| mactimes | Aihetleos, You wanted to reinstall compiz, right? | 18:16 |
| DigressNow | the partitions are correct, I don't know any other way to do it | 18:17 |
| P4G0 | so anyway.... AUFS is the perfect fit for me... no one has an ide where to find binary packages? | 18:17 |
| txomon | juniour: I dont know how booting in same partition works... try with a grub rescue CD | 18:17 |
| P4G0 | *idea | 18:17 |
| KurtKraut | Aihetleos, how did you install compiz? | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | P4G0: theres some 'fuse' filesystems that are similer to aufs | 18:17 |
| txomon | P4G0: make an script that moves them | 18:17 |
| mactimes | Aihetleos, That will update your repositories, upgrade packages in your system to the latest versions, remove compiz if it is still there clean cached files and reinstall compiz. | 18:17 |
| mactimes | Aihetleos, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove --purge compiz && apt-get autoremove --purge && apt-get clean && apt-get install compiz | 18:18 |
| gobbe | Brian72helpMe: if you are using mint this channel is wrong | 18:18 |
| mactimes | Aihetleos, That last line will work better. | 18:18 |

| mactimes | Aihetleos, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get remove --purge compiz && apt-get autoremove --purge && apt-get clean && apt-get install compiz | 18:18 |

| GeekSquid | greenser: you may also want to install .... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ... to give you more control over desktop effects | 18:25 |
| P4G0 | Dr_Willis: unionfs could only write to the first hdd, i want to write to all hdds -> aufs is able to do that | 18:25 |

| KM0201 | Grav: it an probably work, but it's not a really good solutin | 18:49 |
| putty | squidy windows is on sda3 | 18:49 |
| fightling | thx | 18:49 |
| nit-wit | putty, so indows is not showing but you get a grub menu at the start, is this the case, or does it straight into Ubuntu, | 18:49 |
| txomon | time ago, i use SD as local drive, and wasnt so bad | 18:49 |
| ikonia | txomon: not all devices can boot from USB, the performance maybe quite poor, and some laptops present USB disk so that grub is a problem and will need manually tweaking | 18:49 |

| nit-wit | putty, *windows | 18:50 |

| txomon | KM0201: it is not him's | 18:50 |
| Grav | it's not my notebook | 18:50 |
| trineox | Grav: another option what i do is use a jumpdrive live distro and download my apps to do the repairs | 18:50 |
| KM0201 | oh... ok. | 18:50 |

When I am using a torrent client such a rtorrent, I am able to download "legal" torrents such as the Ubuntu.iso's while being connected to the server through ssh, but after 20 minutes, the terminal freezes up and I can't do anything, nor can I log back into the machine. But a ping to the machi | 19:10 |
| hitek88 | ne does show it is still up. Any ideas on what might be causing this? | 19:10 |
| gobbe | ocean: recovery and tools are useless unless you need them | 19:10 |

| hitek88 | ikonia oh, not sure. I don't have a monitor connected to the machine. I guess that is something I can look at next time it freezed up | 19:13 |
| ocean | gobbe, thanks could u tell me when will i need them in case. i have made recovery kit anyway. | 19:13 |
| ikonia | hitek88: that would be key, I'd put money on a kernel panic | 19:13 |
| hitek88 | ikonia but I am guessing it is because rtorrent is taking up too many ports or connections? | 19:13 |
| aimio | ZykoticK9, i think i have a mouse issue, beacuse i tried to right click else where now that does not work. any ideas now ?.. | 19:13 |
| slade991 | does somebody have an idea ? i can't mount from command line or from nautilus | 19:13 |
| gobbe | ocean: tools is used for bios upgrades etc, recovery jsut for recovery | 19:13 |
| ikonia | hitek88: I'm guessing it's not, I'm guessing it's a kernel panic | 19:13 |

| teja | lahwran: the thing is i cant have a forward tab working | 19:19 |
| krish|wired-in | did a dry-run of apt-get -s install debootstrap | 19:20 |
| ikonia | radiohead: yes, and ? | 19:20 |
| radiohead | no mention of either eth0 or eth1 | 19:20 |
| krish|wired-in | lemme see the real thing now | 19:20 |
| kcorcoran | ikonia: thankyou | 19:20 |
| hitek88 | ikonia would happen to know what file to edit to have the server reboot after a kernel panic. It seems it waits for the manual reboot. A article states adding a line to /etc/sysctl.conf but in Ubuntu, it seems it is /etc/sysctl.d | 19:20 |
| ikonia | radiohead: because it's configured through the network manager app, which would conflict with /etc/ineerfaces | 19:20 |
| tw3_ | aimio, are you sure the issue isn't that the right click menu is invisible? | 19:20 |
| tw3_ | that's what I'm getting | 19:20 |
| radiohead | yet my ifconfig recognizes and shows both eth0 and eth1 | 19:20 |
| uzi__ | slade991: run "dmesg | tail" and see whats the error given by the kernel. | 19:20 |
| lahwran | teja: as I said, you need a lowercase username. you need to fill all the fields out as well. | 19:20 |
| sudipta | does anyone know how to open itunes store in ubuntu without using itunes(of course)? | 19:20 |
| teja | lahwran: ok ill try | 19:20 |
| lahwran | uzi__: it seems I have no module acx. | 19:20 |
| slade991 | uzi__: intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded | 19:20 |
| aimio | tw3_, how would you go about fixing that ? if that may be the problem. | 19:20 |
| ikonia | hitek88: not off the top of my head, but why are you doing that before you know it's even a kernel panic | 19:20 |
| tw3_ | I'm not sure, I'm not able to reproduce it 100% | 19:21 |
| Maahes | aimio: and you've confirmed that this mouse's right click works outside of ubuntu yes? | 19:21 |
| xiven | Is there a way to become an "official", non-paid bug fix programmer for Ubuntu software (not the OS itself)? | 19:21 |
| skooz | does Ubuntu work on old computer | 19:21 |
| ikonia | radiohead: configure it through the network maanger applet | 19:21 |
| lahwran | sudipta: well there is the ubuntu one music store, if you're just looking for music; you might be able to run itunes with wine, if you need to | 19:21 |
| mkquist | ocean: I'm just saying you should back up those parts no matter what, unless you are pretty sure you wont need em again... | 19:21 |
| tw3_ | sometimes it works, sometimes it's like the menu is invisible | 19:21 |
| ikonia | xiven: what software ? | 19:21 |
| radiohead | thanks ikonia | 19:21 |
| aimio | Maahes, yes. | 19:21 |
| tw3_ | e.g I can see the tooltips, and if i click it does the action | 19:21 |
| hitek88 | ikonia true, going to see if I can check some logs first | 19:21 |
| tw3_ | are you getting that behaviour? | 19:21 |
| mkquist | ocean: Im of the opinion that you probably need to make one partition and extended | 19:21 |
| Maahes | aimio: did your install start like this, or is this a new thing? | 19:21 |
| radiohead | will network app support my wpa_supplicant options? | 19:21 |
| Lcawte | Anyone know a package that will implement YAML syntax highlighting into gnome? | 19:21 |
| ikonia | hitek88: get the monitor, plug it into the machine and see what happens | 19:21 |
| ikonia | radiohead: yes | 19:22 |
| sudipta | <lahwran> but can it be done???(itunes store)? | 19:22 |
| ikonia | sudipta: itunes will not work on Linux | 19:22 |
| lahwran | sudipta: I don't know. | 19:22 |
| ocean | can i put back the content(of hp tools) to the same place once i create an extended and install the ubuntu | 19:22 |
| radiohead | ikonia: thanks again | 19:22 |
| uzi__ | lahwran: should you check kernel messages? | 19:22 |
| lickalott | fat32 for usbdrive format correct? | 19:22 |
| lahwran | ikonia: it works on wine. | 19:22 |
| radiohead | that was puzzling me... | 19:22 |
| lahwran | uzi__: oh right. | 19:22 |
| radiohead | :) | 19:22 |
| Maahes | aimio: and does the right click work in other programs, like the sudoku game or whatever? | 19:22 |
| aimio | when i installed ubuntu 10.04 i had this problem but i solved it by disabling nautilus, but then in 10.10 i have tried everything but its not working :S | 19:22 |
| ikonia | lahwran: not with full functionality | 19:22 |
| lahwran | ikonia: oh. | 19:22 |
| guampa | help with a tcp issue here, tcp connections on eth0 are broken, icmp/udp works | 19:23 |
| Jarvis | guampa: Im in here as well, and i've got an idea | 19:23 |
| Jarvis | i notice flow-control is enabled | 19:23 |
| radiohead | one more question - does that mean in Ubuntu you should not manually change the /etc/network/interfaces file manually? | 19:23 |
| tw3_ | aimio: is the right click menu working but not showing? | 19:23 |
| guampa | yes it is | 19:23 |

| Mrokii | hello. I'm wondering if there is an RSS-Reader that does not seriously lack features or is slow as molasses, to put it politely? | 19:24 |
| skooz | all i see on my screen is a picture if i hit alt f1 the acces menu, games , ect drop down from the top | 19:24 |
| Mrokii | For Ubuntu certainly. | 19:24 |
| Jarvis | guampa: my first try would be to disable flow-control | 19:24 |
| aimio | tw3_, when i press right click notting happens. | 19:24 |
| Lcawte | Anyone know a package that will implement YAML syntax highlighting into gnome? | 19:24 |
| uzi__ | dpkg give me this error "cannot access archive: No such file or directory". please help. | 19:24 |
| lahwran | Mrokii: I'm sure there is, but my rss reader sucks too, mine is a chrome plugin. I'd like to know what you find out | 19:24 |
| gobbe | guampa: thank you for your paste, what does sudo ifconfig say | 19:24 |
| ikonia | uzi__: what (exactly) command are you using | 19:24 |
| aimio | and i have checked if it works in other programs and it does not like the ubuntu game etc. no right click :S | 19:24 |
| gdoteof_home | please HElp ---- i have to use on screen keyboard! | 19:24 |
| Maahes | Mrokii: how many of the ones in the repositories have you tried? | 19:24 |
| radiohead | have a good one ikonia - thanks for your time - very useful :) | 19:25 |
| ikonia | radiohead: welcome | 19:25 |
| guampa | Jarvis: allright, trying that now, what probs could it cause? | 19:25 |
| Maahes | aimio: have you tried a different mouse with ubuntu? | 19:25 |
| gdoteof_home | help me please | 19:25 |

| uzi__ | ikonia: sudo dpkg -i youtube-dl | 19:25 |
| aimio | Maahes, it's a built in one i am on a netbook. | 19:25 |
| Jarvis | my guess is your switch is doing something iffy with flow control, the livecd ignores it, but ubuntu respects it | 19:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | Most optical mice should work in Ubuntu Linux | 19:25 |
| ikonia | uzi__: it means the package file you want to install is not in the directory you are in, use the full path | 19:26 |
| aimio | but i can try to plug in my other mouse sec. | 19:26 |
| hilux | hey, im running maverick, I found a menu where I could specify the screensavers included on the gnome saver list, but I cant seem to find it again, anyone know where this would be ? | 19:26 |

| Maahes | bustedup277: what you want to do is a bridge, I'm not sure of the factoid though | 19:26 |
| ikonia | uzi__: the package youtube-dl is in the repos, so install it with the package manager | 19:26 |
| Maahes | !bridge | 19:26 |
| Maahes | nope | 19:26 |
| Maahes | aimio: okay, so it's not a mouse, its a touchpad, that's different | 19:26 |
| uzi__ | xangua, ikonia: oh, right. | 19:26 |
| Quantum_Ion | touchpad wtf !!!! | 19:27 |
| gdoteof_screwed | hhey my ubuntu is F'D i have spent like 3 hours trying to get anything to work... i finally have a mouse and hacked a way to get the onboard keyboard up | 19:27 |
| bustedup277 | Maahes, What? | 19:27 |
| ikonia | Quantum_Ion: control the langauge | 19:27 |
| bustedup277 | What do I need to do? | 19:27 |
| bustedup277 | :/ | 19:27 |
| ikonia | gdoteof_screwed: and you, controll the language | 19:27 |
| gdoteof_screwed | but there does not seem to be a way to enable they keyboard | 19:27 |
| Maahes | touchpads are tricky. one thing I would try at first is: sudo rmmod psmouse and then sudo modprobe psmouse | 19:27 |
| aimio | yeah Maahes, works with my other mouse. | 19:27 |
| slade991 | uzi__: any idea ? | 19:27 |

| gsfai | to whoever helped me 2 days ago -- thanks! i solved everything | 19:27 |
| ikonia | slade991: I've not been following the issue | 19:27 |
| Mrokii | Maahes: My first try was to "ask google" and there I found "Liferea" and "rssOwl". The first being ridiculously stripped off any kind of advanced features, the second being awfully slow (imho). | 19:27 |
| aimio | Maahes, it's a tochpad issue. "mousepad" | 19:27 |

| gobbe | guampa: have you tried to setup tcpdump for eth0 with filters and try to ping something? | 19:28 |
| gdoteof_screwed | I am on lucid | 19:28 |
| Maahes | aimio: if the driver it uses is called mousepad do the same thing, sudo rmmod mousepad sudo modprobe mousepad | 19:28 |
| slade991 | uzi__: same... no response from the command line | 19:28 |
| gdoteof_screwed | i tried making a /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the kbd driver | 19:29 |
| kaddi | xangua: what is the default irc client for ubuntu then? I'm using a live cd atm, so I would rather not install anything extra | 19:29 |
| GreyFoxx | Can anyone point me toward some documentation relating to Xinerama issues and trouble shooting when you are actually using multiple video cards? Everything I find is related to single nvidia cards with multiple outputs. For some reason my multicard Xinerma setup locks up after the gdm login but before that is working fine | 19:29 |

| bustedup277 | yes | 19:29 |
| xangua | kaddi: i use pidgin, try xchat maybe¿ | 19:29 |

| Maahes | and synaptics, which uses psmouse | 19:30 |
| ikonia | laurus: that's all it's installed | 19:30 |

| lahwran | Maahes: it's not supported by the default driver, so obviously not. | 19:35 |
| uzi__ | slade991: perhaps, there's a physical problem with the disk. | 19:35 |

| cmndrkeen | hallo nerds, i cant get multiple screens to run seperate instead of mirroring, help? | 19:39 |
| lahwran | bezao: that's because you've authenticated for root, and sudo only asks once about every ten minutes. | 19:39 |
| uzi__ | slade991: i can't really tell what is wrong without any error messages. perhaps, should you try formatting? | 19:39 |
| lahwran | cmndrkeen: what graphics driver? | 19:39 |
| bezao | lahwran no, i mean the root pasword for mysql | 19:39 |
| cmndrkeen | lahwran: its an old ibm, how do i find out | 19:40 |
| bezao | shadaloo yes, but no success, mysql install doesnt ask me the password for root again | 19:40 |
| philip_ | bezao, you should type sudo first to get root privileges otherwise you won't be asked for your password but the command would not executed either. | 19:40 |
| lahwran | bezao: ah. then purge is the correct thing. | 19:40 |

| P4G0 | hi there... my aufs is now running | 19:47 |
| nsahoo | hi guys. some of the bash keyboard shortcuts are not working for some reason. I believe it happened after the 10.10 upgrade. It's the shortcuts that start with alt that are not working. e.g. alt+b to go back a word in bash command line | 19:47 |
| lahwran | IdleOne: I know where to get it now, it's just somewhat annoying that it's gone from the easy-to-describe place | 19:47 |
| P4G0 | has anyone experience in using AUFS? | 19:47 |
| nyRednek | lahwran: any clue or reminder? | 19:47 |

| anvo | Though I do not have an Nvidia graphics card nor any Nvidia repository in my repository list, I recieve updates about Nvidia. How do I stop updates for non-critical software I do not need? | 19:50 |
| grelle | I have two disks. If I list the partition tables with fdisk I get the following output. DISK1: Id ee System GPT. DISK2: Id 83 System Linux. Whats the difference? It's the same filesystem (XFS) on both | 19:50 |
| lahwran | anvo: why do you think you do not need it? | 19:50 |
| anvo | Because my graphics card is an Intel one... | 19:50 |
| Maahes | grelle: what's the size of the GPT partition? | 19:50 |
| crooks306 | >.< | 19:50 |
| grelle | Maahes: 500GB | 19:50 |
| grelle | Maahes: The non-gpt is 2TB | 19:51 |
| cmndrkeen | cant use my levelone wlan usb adapter, what do i do? | 19:51 |
| Maahes | oh hehe :) | 19:51 |
| lahwran | nyRednek: google first result for "run command on networkmanager connect" http://osdir.com/ml/networkmanager-list/2010-02/msg00128.html | 19:51 |
| crooks306 | anvo: your Intel card likely has an nvidia chip in it. | 19:51 |
| wyclif | hi again all | 19:51 |
| grelle | Maahes: Does it matter if it's GPT or not? | 19:52 |
| anvo | Ubuntu software tells me its an Intel chip, not Nvidia! | 19:52 |
| Maahes | Your GPT Partition is the GUID Partition Table see: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table | 19:52 |
| Maahes | Its where the MBR is stored | 19:52 |
| grelle | Maahes: I've noticed that neither cfdisk or fdisk supports GPT | 19:52 |
| anvo | lspci, for instance, shows Intel GM chip! | 19:52 |
| Maahes | grelle: handled by the bootloader, not fdisk and the like | 19:53 |
| anvo | Anyhow, my question is not what chip is my graphics card, but how to stop Update Manager to recieve updates for Nvidia... Then I'll see if I need it or not... | 19:53 |
| crooks306 | anvo: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 19:54 |
| nyRednek | test | 19:54 |
| Mrokii | anvo: I guess you could tell Synaptic to stay with a certain version. | 19:55 |
| grelle | Maahes: right, but GPT is the newer format. I don't really need it for these disks. Is there a way to convert it to the "old" format? | 19:55 |
| anvo | crooks306, the command shows some nvidia packages! | 19:55 |
| crooks306 | what happens when you apt-get remove them? | 19:55 |
| dougl | What is the proceedure to enable 'mouse trails' in ubuntu 10.10/compiz config? | 19:55 |
| anvo | Mrokii, I don't know how to do that... | 19:55 |
| grelle | Maahes: Or do I have to wipe the partition table and rebuild it from scratch? | 19:56 |
| crooks306 | anvo: what happens when you apt-get remove them? | 19:56 |
| Mrokii | anvo: You can lock the version of certain installed packages, so maybe that is possible for the nvida-driver as well, I don't know. | 19:56 |
| anvo | hmmm | 19:56 |
| === don is now known as Guest76817 | ||
| grelle | Maahes: The GPT disk is empty atm, so I don't mind wiping it | 19:56 |
| crooks306 | anvo: if you can't remove them out right. Look up pinning. | 19:56 |
| wyclif | anvo: https//help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 19:56 |
| anvo | crooks306, I haven't tried yet, but I suppose even if I remove them I'll still receive update notifications about it... | 19:57 |

| Maahes | grelle: well it should be a hybrid set up anyways, but you might try partitioning them on a non-EFI board, or try a tool like testdisk | 19:59 |
| anvo | wyclif, no, not any of them! | 19:59 |
| grelle | Maahes: Why hybrid? | 19:59 |

| Maahes | grelle: well I know one way that should work cat /dev/zero/ /dev/gpt | 20:02 |

| ubuntu1 | spencer , have you got windows as well ? | 20:10 |
| zmarty | I have a problem with my LUKS encrypted raid1, which I successfully open using: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md6 crypt1. This creates /dev/mapper/crypt1. The problem is that the node device for the first partition in crypt1 is missing. It should be /dev/mapper/crypt1p1. The command sfdisk -l /dev/mapper/crypt1 shows /dev/mapper/crypt1p1 exists, but Ubuntu does not create the file. Any idea why? All my files are there and I have been working o | 20:10 |
| zmarty | n this for 8 hours now :( | 20:10 |
| Maahes | ubuntu1: you may try using a live cd and running e2fsck on it, especially with the flag that enables the Badblocks pass (use man e2fsck to find that one) | 20:10 |
| spencer | ubuntu1 yeah, but if it's for formatting I'd want to DBAN it first | 20:10 |
| kyle__ | gobbe: Hu. And if the system doesn't boot afterwards, just hangs at the end of bios (not even into grub)? | 20:10 |
| msandoy | spencer: There might be special software around, but I have actually never had any luck recovering from damaged storage devices. There might be others in here who knows more about that. | 20:10 |
| gobbe | kyle__: well is your hardware ok? | 20:11 |
| kyle__ | gobbe: I thought the fact it was showing an ide device as scsi was the issue. | 20:11 |
| spencer | msandoy alright, but so medium read error means that the chip is more than likely toast? | 20:11 |
| kyle__ | gobbe: It runs live cds and the installer perfectly well. None of the drives report errors. | 20:11 |
| shcherbak | spencer: testdisk, photorec, scalpel | 20:11 |

| em | hi folks, I've been trying to build and install the racket source code on my Linux machine (ubuntu 10.10). I created a directory called 'build' in racket-5.0.2/src/ and ran a successful configure --prefix=/usr/local/racket --enable-shared and a successful make. But when I do sudo checkinstall it is failing with an error that says mkdir cannot create paths like /usr/local/racket/lib etc.. | 20:11 |
| gobbe | kyle__: well if you dont even see grub it might be that something is wrong | 20:11 |
| ubuntu1 | testdisk could be worth a try | 20:12 |
| gobbe | em: sudo -s, and then run it again | 20:12 |
| arunce | zmarty: did you mount /dev/mapper/crypt1p1 ? | 20:12 |
| spencer | alright | 20:12 |
| vultraz | hi can anyone help me with my problem? | 20:12 |
| ubuntu1 | spencer, by the way, if its toast , no need to dban it.. :P | 20:12 |
| msandoy | spencer: it means that there are errors on the medium. | 20:12 |
| em | gobbe: okay i'll try but I did use sudo checkinstall. | 20:12 |
| kyle__ | gobbe: I know that part. That's why I'm here. Was hoping someone may have run into a similar situation installing modern ubuntu on an old box. | 20:12 |
| zmarty | @arunce /dev/mapper/crypt1p1 does not exist, but it should. So I cannot mount it. | 20:12 |

| spencer | thanks ubuntu1 and msandoy | 20:13 |
| em | gobbe: same error with that. | 20:13 |
| msandoy | spencer: Those errors might have come as a result of your phone crashing. The chip might still be ok if you format it. But I guess you are interrested in the content. :-) | 20:14 |

| kyle__ | x3cion: I've run the proxy server at a large company before. It's about the least embarrasing of emabarrasing pages you can get. Some are just frightening. | 20:22 |
| veronica | so what was that about kyle | 20:22 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: try sudo apt-get update, it's in main repository and is installable | 20:22 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: i just installed it from there | 20:22 |
| wrd | I've got troubles with my encrypted harddisk, if I'm trying to decrypt it via luksOpen it fails and syslog entriy states: device-mapper: table: 252:1: crypt: Device lookup failed (this is experienced on maverick) i don't hav a usb stick, but if i use an image file, cryptsetup works fine... | 20:22 |
| IdleOne | clearly it had to do with some research about pregnant women. | 20:22 |
| kyle__ | veronica: I was responding to someone asking how to make hard links. ln and cp -l both work for that. | 20:22 |
| IdleOne | Now back to support. | 20:22 |
| ubuntu1 | kyle_ that was a really 'hardlink" :P | 20:23 |
| x3cion | kyle__: I want to hardlink between folders, not files | 20:24 |
| __name__ | you cannot do that. | 20:24 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: your sources.list is missing main repository | 20:24 |
| x3cion | I must've done it | 20:24 |
| __name__ | you cannot hardlink directories. | 20:24 |
| kyle__ | x3cion: cp -l I believe is the right one then. | 20:24 |
| kyle__ | You can also use it to create a tree of links. | 20:24 |
| __name__ | -d, -F, --directory | 20:24 |
| __name__ | allow the superuser to attempt to hard link directories (note: | 20:24 |
| kyle__ | But it's been awhile since I've done that. | 20:24 |
| __name__ | will probably fail due to system restrictions, even for the | 20:24 |
| __name__ | superuser) | 20:24 |
| FloodBot3 | __name__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:24 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: you have it only with maverick-backports but not with maverick | 20:24 |
| rww | x3cion: how come you think you "must've done it"? | 20:25 |
| veronica | please help me with this sound issue | 20:25 |
| kyle__ | veronica: You're on a mac, running ubuntu. And the sound is only working when you plug in headphones? | 20:25 |
| wolfric_ | gobbe: what is the main repository line? | 20:25 |
| veronica | kyle__, yes, so it's always working but the speakers aren't? | 20:26 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted | 20:26 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: or add ie in front of archive if you want local | 20:26 |
| joeri | Does anybody know why pulse doesn't work really well on 10.10 | 20:26 |
| veronica | internal speakers | 20:26 |
| x3cion | rww, i found a tut saying that i can find hard links with find / -xdev -samefile file1 | 20:26 |
| lesshaste | what's the difference between sgtreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? | 20:26 |
| Stava | whats up with transmission using 100% cpu? :( | 20:26 |
| wolfric_ | gobbe: am i mistaken? or are all the names after the link the repository lists you want to install... i have main there | 20:26 |
| wrd | veronica: areyou sure that the speakers aren't broken? | 20:26 |
| kyle__ | veronica: Sounds like there's an issue with an option being passed to the sound-driver. I hate to say it, but unless you feel like really digging into alsa, it's par for the course using linux on Apple hardware. | 20:26 |
| __name__ | why would you want a directory hardlink? | 20:26 |
| em | is there any built in ap for using the webcam on my laptop on ubuntu? | 20:26 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: you have main in maverick-backports | 20:27 |
| amorimII | olá e boa tarde para todos | 20:27 |
| x3cion | __name__: I believe i had an issue with ftp | 20:27 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: not in maverick | 20:27 |
| wolfric_ | but i also have main after that | 20:27 |
| veronica | I tried the alsamixer | 20:27 |
| em | what app do you use to use the webcam on your laptop? | 20:27 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: which line? | 20:27 |
| wolfric_ | gobbe: ah i see | 20:27 |
| kyle__ | veronica: Last time I ran linux on a mac-laptop, I had the exact opposit problem (speakers were always on, even when plugging int the headphones). It was years ago, so I forget exactly what the fix was, but it was easy. After I compiled my own version of alsa for the laptop that is. | 20:27 |
| gobbe | wolfric_: so you need to have it also for plain maverick | 20:28 |

| almoxarife | kyle__: I was using admin priv in nautilus | 20:35 |
| KM0201 | screach: you will have to register to get a code to use it(but it's free, and only takes a minute....) | 20:35 |
| rww | Arxiss: because you're using su instead of sudo | 20:35 |
| rww | !sudo | Arxiss | 20:35 |
| ubottu | Arxiss: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:35 |

| kyle__ | veronica: When I had my problem way back when, I had to recompile ALSA. Your problem may need a simpler fix, but it will require _really_ digging into it to see what's wrong. Start searching the alsa groups, reading logs, etc. Sorry :/ | 20:36 |

| Slyboots | Using Wine to run Steam (Valve's Game-downloader) because its handy running it on my headerless server to download games overnight | 20:45 |
| Slyboots | Problem is; The interface is all screwed up because VNC doesnt support "XRender" | 20:45 |

| screach | KM0201 Yes I did thanks for the link | 20:45 |
| Slyboots | Cant use VNC (No XRender) | 20:46 |
| KM0201 | ok | 20:46 |
| Slyboots | And cant use VirtualPC because of the way the Steam client works and my crappy hardware | 20:46 |
| wrd | h-dee: edit /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/00_header so that you always have timeout set to a value != 0 then run : sudo update-grub | 20:46 |

| zmitya | guys, I want fix IP, but after a while, networkmanager or something else always changes back to dhcp for some reason | 21:04 |
| zmitya | what is the official way to set up fix ip ? | 21:05 |
| wrd | where is the sourcecode of the device mapper? i'm looking through linux sources.... | 21:05 |
| Mojak | az_ordog_maga, thing is, I'm asking for a friend. he can't join the channel because it's too slow. I told him to do a ifconfg -a|grep inet, should I paste you what the output of the latter? | 21:05 |
| guntbert | zmitya: through network manager | 21:05 |
| |sg | zmitya: you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces filke | 21:05 |

| |sg | zmitya: do not remove it, just edit | 21:06 |
| smerz | bustedup277, yes but dependencies might be a problem | 21:06 |
| zmitya | |sg: I know, thats easy, and I could kill dhcpclient as well, but I don't want, I would like to set up via this networkmanager thing | 21:06 |

| zmitya | |sg: well, thats funny I think... but anyway, I'll do it, but I would expect that the networkmanager does this for me.. :( | 21:11 |
| guntbert | zmarty: in network manager you have to fill out all fields (look at my example) | 21:12 |
| zmitya | |sg: in this case, why the "fix IP" is in the networkmanager if it wi;; not set it up ? | 21:12 |
| |sg | zmitya: thata what I am talking about edit the /etc/network/interface or do it by networkmanager | 21:12 |

| sanguisdex | wyclif: what I like about time machine that rcsync does not do is that you dont have to think about it, you dont even have to remeber to run it. as soon as you connect to the network with your timemachine back up on it it just synces the files | 21:57 |
| Myrtti | or rbash | 21:57 |
| wyclif | rtdos: zsh | 21:57 |
| phillyj | ActionParsnip: hmm, the website gave a command using curl and it didn't work for me | 21:58 |

| ubottu | nicofs: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:27 |

| foonoob | So my question is this: If i reboot this machine now, how much screwd up will the install be? | 22:28 |
| GeekyAdam | mongy: 10.10 netbook isn't what? | 22:28 |
| rusty149 | nicofs: Then, sudo reboot | 22:28 |

| bluezone | There's something that's been bothering me awhile now, on ubuntu 10.10, (and previous versions) when you are downloading something or using torrents for instance, the network will become extremely laggy and slow, pings to google will go up to 1k-2k ms, and any music streams your listening too will need to often pause to buffer... are there any methods of solving this? | 22:29 |
| rusty149 | nicofs: So login as root instead | 22:29 |
| bluezone | soreau, yes it behaves the same way | 22:29 |
| mongy | GeekyAdam, sorry, sorry GeekSquid | 22:29 |
| guntbert | !root | rusty149 | 22:29 |
| ubottu | rusty149: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:29 |
| GeekyAdam | mongy: no harm done. ;) | 22:29 |
| guntbert | !noroot | rusty149 | 22:29 |
| ubottu | rusty149: We do not support setting a root password. Please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 22:29 |

| ActionPa1snip | zzzed: install ia32-libs and you may be able to force install the deb. This is one reason why 32bit is recommended | 22:34 |
| Blue83 | ubuntu: Oh ok. That's normal, the system has to use auxilliary means to mount configure and mount your external HDD | 22:34 |

| nicofs | last time i had such a problem i solved it with something like "libdvdcss" but i'm not shure, that's the name - and i couldn't find it in the repos... | 23:08 |
| aimio | sammysosa1234, you could use, auto arrange. | 23:08 |
| frogzkatt | i tried those libs | 23:09 |
| frogzkatt | but it doesnt work | 23:09 |
| mrgalerien | Hi guys, I have a problem with my video players (vlc, mplayer....) I can't see the picture if I open flv files, only sound... anyone can help me with that ? | 23:09 |
| aimio | mrgalerien, probobly codec problem. | 23:09 |
| aimio | !codec | 23:09 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 23:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | mrgalerien: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 23:09 |
| frogzkatt | i did | 23:10 |
| mrgalerien | ActionPa1snip, I belive I did, let me check that | 23:10 |
| sammysosa1234 | aimio, How do i get to the auto arrange option? All i see is "keep aligned" and that only works for horizontal alignment but not vertical | 23:10 |
| cmang | hrm. I just tried placing the init scripts in /etc/rc.local. that didn't work, either. wtf, upstart. | 23:10 |
| mrgalerien | ActionPa1snip, yes, installed | 23:10 |
| nit-wit | mrgalerien, try vlc | 23:11 |
| mrgalerien | nit-wit, vlc, mplayer, same result | 23:11 |
| aimio | sammysosa1234, Try: Right Click -> Clean up by name | 23:11 |
| nit-wit | mrgalerien, is this flv on a disc | 23:11 |
| mrgalerien | nit-wit, yes, stuff I download form youtube & co | 23:12 |
| aimio | sammysosa1234, "keep aligned" works good vertical for me. | 23:12 |
| nit-wit | mrgalerien, you can see them on youtube though are you sure it has downloaded correctly how are you grabbing them | 23:13 |
| mrgalerien | nit-wit, cp /tmp/Flash* $HOME/Video | 23:14 |
| DasEi | did somebody experience problems with pidgin ? mine won't connect | 23:14 |
| mrgalerien | nit-wit, and I can open them on windows | 23:14 |
| nit-wit | mrgalerien, if your using FF try video downloadhelper addon | 23:14 |
| ActionPa1snip | DasEi: which version and what protocol are you connecting with? | 23:14 |
| mrgalerien | nit-wit, that's not the point, I'm sure my files are not corrupt or anything like that, and I have restricted codecs... | 23:15 |
| DasEi | ActionPa1snip: the developer one, standard proto, but I just checked syslog, and I tampered with the plugins, second | 23:15 |
| zzzed | i followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305248&highlight=ip2600 to install a Canon ip2600 printer in 10.4 32-bit. does anybody know how to install an ip2600 in 64-bit? | 23:15 |
| nit-wit | mrgalerien, the vido add on is realy cool you can set it to down load then move to the next thing without waiting to see the whole thang | 23:16 |
| ejv | likely very similar process zzzed | 23:16 |
| mrgalerien | nit-wit, I use chromium anyway ^^ | 23:16 |
| ActionPa1snip | DasEi: there is no standard proto, are you using msn, yahoo, icq? | 23:16 |
| jimcooncat | how to tell if I'm running grub or grub2? Default 10.10 install. | 23:17 |
| NixGeek | mrgalerien, try doing sudo apt-get install swfdec-gnome | 23:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | jimcooncat: default maverick uses grub2 | 23:17 |
| zzzed | ejv, Canon only provides debs (or rpms), when i try to install the debs, it says invalid architecture. there is no source to compile, i was hoping that multi-lib support would allow thises debs to work | 23:17 |
| mrgalerien | NixGeek, ok | 23:17 |

| arooni-mobile | is there an offline way to edit google docs on ubuntu? | 23:32 |
| quebecois | please.. Can someone help me | 23:32 |
| quebecois | ? | 23:32 |

| arooni-mobile | itam, thoughts on this: http://doctormo.org/2010/07/20/google-doc-mount/ | 23:34 |

| Guest22213 | Did you catch that NixGeek? | 23:35 |
| itam | oh yeah, I thought about the official way ;) | 23:36 |
| itam | like this: http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176376 | 23:36 |

| sev8 | hi, I have a problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to rgarding my new Lucid server installation | 23:37 |
| DasEi | sev8: that is ? | 23:37 |
| sev8 | I have this problem when I try to mount my RAID1 array at boot time: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/206129/comments/27 | 23:37 |
| juniour | i have given commad to shutdown how to abort that job | 23:37 |
| sev8 | i'm typing ;) | 23:37 |
| NixGeek | go to system> administration > lonin screen, unlock it, and choose the login as user automatically. You can uncheck to give time to others to log in also. | 23:37 |
| sev8 | if I set noauto in the /etc/fstab for the RAID array, then the server initialises successfully | 23:38 |
| Guest22213 | NixGeek, Ok I will give that a try now. | 23:38 |
| juniour | i have given commad to shutdown how to abort that job | 23:38 |
| sev8 | I'm looking for an alternate way to mount my RAID array at boot time, but later in the process and was thinking about putting it in the /etc/rc3.d ... is this a terrible idea? | 23:38 |
| NixGeek | Guest22213, tell me if it works. | 23:38 |
| Guest22213 | ok | 23:39 |
| sev8 | any help is appreciated | 23:39 |
| juniour | help me | 23:40 |

| Guest68868 | ? | 23:41 |
| shadowhywind_1 | doh!! I'm sorry, I have been working on windows boxes all day | 23:42 |
| NixGeek | Is there any way to, on clicking an irc users nick in konversation, have it be copied to the message bar with a comma after it? | 23:42 |
| iostream | NixGeek: type "ios" and hit TAB | 23:43 |
| NixGeek | iostream: thank you, that will help alot. I tend to answer people alot | 23:44 |
| iostream | if you're a nix geek you should've already known this | 23:44 |
| Guest22213 | NixGeek, It does login now BUT it asks for the keyring password which is causing me to be unable to ssh into the box until that is entered. Any ideas? | 23:45 |
| cmang | any reason why /etc/rc.local and /etc/rc?.d/* are not being honored by my ubuntu system? I read about this upstart, tried making service files for it.. nothing. | 23:45 |
| NixGeek | Guest22213: do you keep any keys on the keyring? | 23:46 |
| NixGeek | g | 23:46 |
| DasEi_ | sev8, how did you setup the mirror ? | 23:47 |
| Guest22213 | NixGeek, I have only set up an admin account with a password. That is the only password i have set up. I am not exactly sure about any keys | 23:47 |

| sev8 | DasEi_: I followed the Linux RAID Wiki. Something along the lines of mdadm -C /dev/md0 --num-devices 2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 --num-spares 0 | 23:49 |
| sev8 | not the exact parameter names, but you get the idea | 23:50 |
| pckbost | exit | 23:50 |
| r00t4rd3d | anyone have a nvidia card and after updating you ubuntu splash screen when to kinda like text mode ? | 23:50 |
| NixGeek | Guest22213: then you probably don't, either way, it shouldn't matter. go to Applications> Accessories> passwords and encryption keys and then edit> preferences then highlist the login - automaticaly unlocked when user logs in entry and then click change unlock password, type in your login password for old password and leave the new password fields blank. click change and then click use unsafe storage. I hg2g | 23:50 |
| bcrawl1 | can I get auto completion feature like bash when I am SSHing to another machines folder? Any scripts? | 23:50 |
| DasEi_ | sev8, yes, and then crypted it ? | 23:50 |
| Guest22213 | ok NixGeek, Thanks for your help | 23:51 |
| sev8 | DasEi_: no, it's unencrypted | 23:51 |
| Diverdude | How do i play a wav file from commandline? | 23:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | Diverdude: aplay filename.wav or mplayer filename.wav | 23:51 |
| DasEi_ | ActionPa1snip, good hint with the version, wrong line commented in sources too, was libgadu, will save later | 23:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | Diverdude: vlc-nox filename.wav will also do it | 23:52 |
| ActionPa1snip | DasEi_: np bro, glad you are nearnig the gold | 23:52 |
| DasEi_ | Diverdude, vlc Blah.wav , vlc-nox if no gui wanted | 23:52 |
| itam | bcrawl1: you should have autocompletion - if you're logging to bash (not sh) | 23:52 |

| DasEi_ | sev8, so system won't boot with the message from the buglist ? | 23:55 |

| sev8 | DasEi_: yes, md0 and the system won't boot | 23:55 |
| aimio | ActionPa1snip, you generate one by doing evtest ?.. | 23:55 |
| sev8 | DasEi_: The FATAL message, not the WARNING message | 23:55 |
| DasEi_ | sev8, how does the boot behave ? | 23:56 |

| sev8 | DasEi_: ah, I can't remember so well anymore. The last time I saw it was 2 or 3 days ago, as after that I set noauto. I think that after the BIOS screen the ssytem says that it's mounting disks then gives the FATAL error | 23:59 |
| DasEi_ | Rigorm0rtis, fdupes lets you find : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647883 | 23:59 |
