| djzielin | to remove the "ui" reference. | 00:21 |

| djzielin | I'm able to hit enter and enter a boot menu. but when I try to install. get the same, black screen, with a cursor blinking in the upper left. | 00:22 |
| zaery | djzielin: why would you delete the ui reference? | 00:22 |

| Bernardo | I'd say 10 minutes... | 00:27 |
| karim_ | Purple Screen, haha. Ubuntu and the purple screen of death. | 00:27 |
| zaery | karim_ when you install ubuntu, make sure you select to change the partitions manually, and don't touch the windows partition. grub is reinstalled when you install ubuntu, and automatically detects all OS's you have, including windows | 00:27 |
| r000t_laptop | shcherbak there is only one network to use | 00:28 |

| Geekneeus | r000t_laptop: but then I don't know what you want upgrade been afk :P | 00:29 |

| erUSUL | progre55: to change date and time? sta7ic already told you what is the command. linux has/stores its clock in utc and shows local date based on locale and timezone info. that's why i did not fully understand your original question. | 00:36 |

| The_Maverick | shcherbak so i have to extract it via command line? | 00:59 |
| crawler | The_Maverick: did you try putting them in ~/.icons? | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Maverick: why do you Need to extract it there? users camn have their own theme dirs. | 01:00 |
| === ogra is now known as Guest35747 | ||
| shcherbak | The_Maverick: or nautilus with gksudo | 01:00 |
| The_Maverick | that is where i would put the icons right? | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Maverick: .icons in your home - can work.. | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Maverick: if its an actual icon theme. you can drag/drop it to the 'appearance' program window and it should install to the proper location in the users home dir. | 01:01 |

| gusg1 | I'm installing some drivers from NI. They don't officially support Ubuntu, only RedHat, Mandriva and SUSE. Each somes with its own installation script. I'm not sure what the differences are. Which one is most likely to work with Ubuntu? | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | gusg1: any of them would be about as big a gamble as the others... | 01:05 |
| intrader | sandyd, are you still here? | 01:05 |
| gusg1 | Dr_Willis: Thanks. Could you in general describe what the compatibility issues are? | 01:05 |
| christian_ | hi | 01:05 |
| gusg1 | or ... "would be" | 01:06 |
| bluezone | Okay here is the gist of it: I cannot boot my system GUI, every time i boot the kernel it gives me a command line, so i am talking to you from the graphical fail safe using the recovery mode, i also see in this recovery mode that i am locked to 800 by 600 and i can't change that since i my monitor isnt recognized, this is most likely an issue with my video card drivers, but for some annoying reasons they do not want to install when i try to d | 01:06 |

| dpyro | hi, i have an atom netbook (hp mini 2102) and it does not do any cpu frequency scaling, it just sits at 1.3Ghz. thanks in advance! | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | gusg1: no idea. i wouldent even begin to guess.. differnt kernel sources/patches could be a major issue. | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | gusg1: i dont even know who 'NI' is | 01:06 |
| shcherbak | gusg1: naming, directory tree, dev system, init, and all exect (perpissions vary too). go for suse | 01:07 |

| anon33_ | If I put in a blank DVD-R and add a .mp4 movie file to it - will it burn a data disc or dvd disc using the CD/DVD creator in nautilus? | 01:07 |
| intrader | dan08, I need to know if sandyd is still around or not, thanks | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | anon33_: it will make a data disk with a mp4 file on the disk. | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | anon33_: most 'burner' apps do just that.. burn data.. use a differnt app to gernate/convert/create a dvd-video iso file. you then burn | 01:08 |
| dan08 | intrader: i dont know :! check the list | 01:08 |
| shcherbak | anon33_: yes, data. to make DVD playable disc you need software | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | anon33_: its possible k3b has some features like that.. but ive not noticed them in k3b (yet). i tend to use 'devede' | 01:09 |
| bastidrazor | anon33_: devede will convert the mp4 to an dvd image (iso) that will play on any player | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | anon33_: i have some dvd players now that can play dvd data video files. :) | 01:09 |
| intrader | dan08, and how do I do that? | 01:09 |
| anon33_ | bastidrazor: Will it work on an xbox360? | 01:10 |
| anon33_ | All I'm trying to do is put a .mp4 file to play on a 360 =\ | 01:10 |
| The_Maverick | i did this "mkdir -p /home/username/.icons" and i cant see the ".icons" directory in my file browser | 01:10 |

| bastidrazor | anon33_: you could share files with ushare to your xbox and play mp4's | 01:10 |
| dan08 | is it sandyd or sandym? | 01:11 |

| Dr_Willis | bluezone: i also find that with my nvidia cards i have to use the 'nomodeset' option if i am not using the nvidia propiarty drivers. or else plymouth really crashes badly | 01:13 |
| bluezone | Dr_Willis, how do i get them from the repos | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | bluezone: when you first booted, you had a desktop? the system -> admin -> addational drivers tool. would auto mate it.. otherwise you install the 'nvidia-common' package. (i think) | 01:13 |

| djzielin | it hangs right at the drm line [I think direct render management] | 01:19 |

| ronnish | can someone help me out | 01:22 |
| watermains | help, I'm on 10.04, I have an EVGA GTX460 . the nouveau drivers that came by default didn't give me any more than 640x480 resolution. I installed the linux-headers for my kernel, then installed nvidia-current. I restarted, successfully ran nvidia-xconfig, then restarted x server. I can get into the GUI Nvidia configuration tool, but it still doesn't recognize my card | 01:22 |
| KimLaroux | ronnish, maybe you could simply state your problem | 01:22 |
| dan08 | KB1JWQ: Thanks | 01:22 |
| ronnish | bluezone, basically i cannot get the wireless card to turn on, or at least on the laptop, | 01:22 |
| ronnish | i think it is not detecting the wireless card | 01:23 |
| ronnish | i have tired different things but no luck | 01:23 |
| ubnoob | bluezone: the alt f2 key stopped working - do you know how to fix it | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bluezone: i nomrally install the drivers then just reboot. | 01:23 |
| xdunlapx | I can't get the ubuntu 10.10 live cd to boot. it always drops me at a prompt. md5sum is correct. the prompt says to init= bootarg | 01:23 |
| bluezone | ronnish, so you dont see any wireless networks? | 01:23 |
| ronnish | no i dont | 01:23 |
| watermains | my driver version (what apt installed for nvidia-current) is 195.36.24 | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bluezone: you might want to try the 'nomodeset' option to the boot/grub line. (e to edit the line, replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' | 01:23 |
| ronnish | when i try the wireless it says wireless is off | 01:23 |
| bluezone | Dr_Willis, well no drivers show up on that gui interface still | 01:23 |
| ronnish | and i cant do anything | 01:23 |
| shcherbak | ubnoob: do you have panel? | 01:24 |
| bluezone | ronnish, your sure your wireless switch is turned on right? | 01:24 |
| ronnish | yup | 01:24 |
| ronnish | it works fine in windows | 01:24 |
| bluezone | well | 01:24 |
| bluezone | then i would try sudo modprobe iwl3945 | 01:24 |

| hylian | ubnoob, from system-prefernces-startup applications. | 01:33 |
| jrib | zaery: read the files they ask you to include in the bug report :) | 01:33 |
| zaery | jrib, but that's a big folder of stuff..... | 01:33 |
| clon00b | milamber: ya, I saw that, but it needs a external hdd I think, Can I clone a partition to another partition using dd ? | 01:33 |
| jrib | zaery: btw I had the same issue, had to remove some xorg package and everything worked. It should contain dated directories each with update logs inside | 01:33 |
| crawler | dezine, very interesting question..no idea how to go about it, but one possibility might be to make compiz window rules, so all your windows open up in the general area of the good portion of the screen. | 01:34 |
| mrothhh | any app after you instelled ubuntu to do software raid on mirror disk | 01:34 |
| zaery | jrib, ah, will do then :) | 01:34 |
| hylian | ubnoob, also, once you add it, you will have to rebbot | 01:34 |
| jrib | zaery: if you're not sure what to do, feel free to pastebin the logs and poke me. It could be the same issue I had | 01:35 |
| ubnoob | ok, i'll try to reboot now | 01:35 |
| milamber | clon00b: yes. | 01:35 |
| crawler | dezine: you could also make a dock with awn in the broken part of your screen, and set it so no windows can cover it | 01:35 |
| intrader | YankDownUnder, I find the package in 'http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/gkrellm-i8k'. However,, when I unpack the .gz file, I don't find ./configure | 01:35 |

| crawler | dezine just a couple ideas :D | 01:36 |
| intrader | YankDownUnder, tell me if I am intruding. I will understand. | 01:36 |
| crawler | dezine: for awn, the setting is panel mode, i think | 01:36 |
| hylian | ubnoob, ok | 01:37 |
| shcherbak | intrader: if you got source for release (debian) it is already configured (for debian). Either get "universl" source or run make | 01:38 |

| YankDownUnder | intrader, apt-get build-essential => unpack source, run "./configure --prefix=/usr" => wait => compile with "sudo make && make install && ldconfig" => easy? | 01:41 |
| crawler | dezine: that should be easy then, yea just go for the empty awn dock at the bottom set to panel mode, it should suffice | 01:41 |
| Adlai_ | Pici, yeah, it says something about lots of package updates, which could be it, but it would be nice to get some output saying exactly what dependency problems it's seeing so I can verify that | 01:41 |
| LoganJRuff | YankDownUnder, profit! | 01:41 |
| dezine | I guess that'll do. Thanks. | 01:41 |
| hylian | hmm, interesting. | 01:41 |
| arunce | guest9187: try "sudo apt-get clean" | 01:41 |
| Adlai_ | Pici, but thanks | 01:41 |
| YankDownUnder | LoganJRuff, Profit is good. | 01:41 |
| crawler | dezine: or maybe even a regular gnome-panel will work ok...but with awn you will have more options | 01:42 |
| YankDownUnder | Time for food. | 01:42 |
| crawler | dezine good luck ;-D | 01:42 |
| Guest75713 | anyone know how to reset all settings to defaults from cmd line? | 01:42 |
| clon00b | milamber: thank you, gonna try that.. | 01:42 |

| bubuzzz | hello everyone, | 01:58 |
| bubuzzz | is there any software that allows auto sync (using ssh, ftp...) from my local folder with the remote space ? | 01:58 |
| milamber | bubuzzz: check out rsync | 01:58 |
| Gerwin | scp | 01:58 |
| Adlai_ | bubuzzz, dropbox? | 01:59 |
| dabestharpis | milamber: Here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/554234/ | 01:59 |
| TurmptTarp | is this the real ubuntu channel | 02:00 |
| TurmptTarp | ok good | 02:00 |
| bubuzzz | Adlai_, thought that dropbox only allows sync with its own server | 02:00 |
| Adlai_ | bubuzzz, gotta admit, I don't really know what you want | 02:00 |
| bubuzzz | milamber, Gerwin : thank guys, will check them | 02:00 |
| intrader | shcherbak, thanks for following, but as you say most likely I will have problems doing make. Is there a downside to doing that? | 02:00 |
| fbnts | Hi, I am having trouble with an ubuntu system. It has been compromised and every evening it floods my network. I have tracked it down (ps -aux | grep perl) give the following | 02:00 |
| fbnts | www-data 22967 70.2 0.1 3912 1520 ? R 00:44 51:40 /usr/bin/perl ./x 74.208.13.197 6667 0 | 02:00 |
| milamber | dabestharpis: you are already have the desktop installed. what exactly are you trying to do? | 02:01 |
| TurmptTarp | What do you recommend I do to avoid law enforcement ? i have traversed into some bad people and they might just have the power to get me into some trouble by manipulating the truth of events that haven taken place | 02:01 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, remove that x file | 02:01 |
| bubuzzz | Adlai_, i need to develop my site locally and then upload to the hosting space | 02:01 |
| TurmptTarp | this relates to ubuntu | 02:01 |
| fbnts | I have removed the files associated with it but it keeps coming back | 02:01 |
| Adlai_ | bubuzzz, oh, yeah, you want rsync | 02:01 |
| fbnts | It had put something in the crontab for www-data which I removed | 02:01 |
| TurmptTarp | because what do u recommend i do about windows 7 and my ubuntu install? should i erase everything and just install ubuntu with a huge password? | 02:01 |
| bubuzzz | Adlai_, yup. will do that :D | 02:01 |
| jrib | fbnts: format, reinstall | 02:01 |
| mstfsnr | noone trying to connect via 3g on ubuntu or my timing is just awful ? :P | 02:02 |
| shcherbak | intrader: no, make is just "pre install". Just revove folder to clean up after. | 02:02 |
| shcherbak | remove | 02:02 |
| fbnts | I was dreading that - its a mythtv backend and will be an absolute pain | 02:02 |
| zaery | bubuzz, I agree with adlai, rsync is the way | 02:02 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, I would blow away your apache folder and try again, but if you want to track it down you probably can if you read that x script | 02:02 |
| jrib | fbnts: once a system is compromised that's really the only solution | 02:02 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, at the very least start by removing execute perms | 02:02 |
| fbnts | yeah, I did find a forum post with a similar issue. I did find / -user www-data and removed all suspicious files | 02:03 |
| fbnts | is it normal to have items in /proc owned by www-data? | 02:03 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, I'd like to see the script if you can post it somewhere | 02:03 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, absolutely not | 02:03 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, haha ok, yeah, your system's probably hosed if it's messing with /proc | 02:04 |
| fbnts | this time the x file is /dev/shm/ddos | 02:04 |
| fbnts | but has been in /var/tmp | 02:04 |
| zaery | jrib, from the bottom of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554232/ it looks like some xorg thing is the offender, but i can't tell which one | 02:04 |
| nit-wit | TurmptTarp, call 911 | 02:04 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, yeah that sounds more than a naive attempt, just format and reinstall, sorry | 02:04 |
| jrib | zaery: looks like mine. In my case, I: sudo aptitude remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 02:05 |
| fbnts | ok looks like I will have to backup my mythtv db | 02:05 |
| shcherbak | fbnts: NO! | 02:05 |
| intrader | YankDownUnder, when you say 'wait' what do you mean in 'intrader, apt-get build-essential => unpack source, run "./configure --prefix=/usr" => wait => compile with "sudo make && make install && ldconfig" => easy?' | 02:05 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, the only backing up you should be doing is with a pen and paper | 02:05 |
| fbnts | can I keep my recordings or do I need a completely clean machine? | 02:05 |
| YankDownUnder | intrader, Yeah--rrrrr => running configure does make you wait... | 02:05 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, clean the machine completely | 02:05 |
| shcherbak | fbnts: install or make keylogger, remove private stuff from machine and wait. | 02:05 |
| KM0201 | TurmptTarp: lol, avoid law enforcement?.. I'm reminded of Jim Carrey's line... "Stop breaking the law ____hole" | 02:06 |
| fbnts | I also have 300gb of DVD ISOs - could they be compromised? | 02:06 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, if you want to take the recordings somewhere isolated and put them back on the machine after a reinstall to see if they're corrupted, go for it, but you might need to reinstall a second time if your machine gets compromised again | 02:06 |
| YankDownUnder | Compromised now. | 02:06 |
| intrader | YankDownUnder, the unpacked stuff does not have the ./configure file (they say because it is preconfigure for debbian) | 02:06 |
| shcherbak | fbnts: and make sure to run (if you have) all, but logs in ro mode | 02:07 |
| fbnts | I could copy them to my windoze desktop. Would a virus scanner on windoze detect if they have been compromised? | 02:07 |
| YankDownUnder | intrader, Then I'm stopped on that note. Unless you run like "autoconf" and "automake" => I know that gKrellm has fallen behind... | 02:07 |
| dabestharpis | milamber: I am trying to install a GUI | 02:07 |
| YankDownUnder | Nothing on MS Windoze actually detects ANYTHING. | 02:08 |
| milamber | dabestharpis: according to that pastebin you have one. try typing from the terminal: startx | 02:08 |
| shcherbak | YankDownUnder: like that, nothing detects anything | 02:08 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, you could give it a shot, but I would expect a windows virus scanner to miss linux viruses almost certainly | 02:09 |
| intrader | YankDownUnder, it is a problem with the 'fan running all the time regardless of CPU load or temperature'. I found someone that cured if with that packaged that is not configurable to me. | 02:09 |
| fbnts | btw I have the ddos.tgz which has the scripts in (I saw someone mention that they wanted to see a copy) and the proc that is owned by www-data is /proc/31556/ | 02:09 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, wait, is everything in /proc owned by www-data, or just that one process folder? | 02:09 |
| fbnts | yeah I tried rkhunter but it didnt pick it up | 02:09 |
| coldfront_ | anyone know a better on screen keyboard other then onboard? | 02:10 |
| jrib | fbnts: out of curiousity do you know how you were compromised? System not up to date on security updates? | 02:10 |
| fbnts | no, just the /proc/31556 tree | 02:10 |
| intrader | YankDownUnder, nothing like the problems that fbnts has! | 02:10 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, oh that's normal | 02:10 |
| akhyariz | exit | 02:10 |
| Adlai_ | fbnts, yeah I'd like to see that folder, can you upload it somewhere? | 02:10 |
| YankDownUnder | intrader, What about apt-get install fancontrol => have you tried that one yet? | 02:10 |
| fbnts | yeah, give me 2 mins | 02:11 |

| Adlai_ | fbnts, preferably somewhere it'll last for a couple days, I have to make sure my secure install is up to date before I unpack it there | 02:11 |

| OvermindDL1 | Greetings, I have a bit of an odd issue. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and I SSH in, start x11vnc, and vnc in over an ssh tunnel. It works fine for some-odd period of time, and, even when doing nothing, the vnc connection drops, reports "caught XIO error:" then "14/01/2011 18:57:13 deleted 60 tile_row polling images.", then closes itself, then about one second later the ssh connection loses connection | 02:14 |
| fbnts | and the file is at http://www.multiplix.co.uk/ddos.tgz | 02:14 |
| OvermindDL1 | When I get someone to check the computer it is fully locked up, on but the screen is black, no HD activity (which never happens, there is *always* activity), etc... | 02:14 |
| YankDownUnder | intrader, Can't upset the wife - I do it all the time - not good. | 02:14 |
| zaery | jrib, yeah, i guess installing it by default would make sense, and i've had this thing for years, now that i think about it, i could've installed it one time while messing around :D | 02:15 |
| fbnts | oh btw although it keeps installing in different locations its the same file each time. the x file has an echo line: Enjoy FloodBot based on OverKill | 02:16 |

| JoshDreamland | 2) If the nm-applet doesn't have a network it's set to connect to, it will never show! I am left completely helpless as I try to scrounge up some resource for help. I only recently realized it would show itself and connect if I set nearby connections to be activated automatically. | 02:19 |
| JoshDreamland | Why in God's name is the nm applet the sole authority on what I connect to?! Isn't there some other way to connect to a network? | 02:20 |
| bluezone_ | okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas? | 02:20 |

| ArchTangent | hello, I need to know if moonlight supports netflix yet, so does it? | 02:21 |
| JoshDreamland | Third and more recently, Ubuntu has decided that all portable media should be mounted as root. I have no permissions to my flash drive unless I call "sudo nautilus" and make my changes with that new window. Even then, the write speed is only about 100kbps. What is happening? | 02:22 |
| === CIASquid is now known as IdleOne | ||
| coldfront_ | umm yeah i like gnome | 02:22 |
| Adlai_ | JoshDreamland, depends on the permissions on the actual flash drive, if you're coming from windows or something they'll be all futzed with, but you can chown them all and fix that | 02:22 |
| JoshDreamland | I didn't realize the NTFS had a place to put permissions | 02:23 |
| Adlai_ | JoshDreamland, dunno about the write speed, you should check that you're using USB 2.0 and that your device is fully powered | 02:23 |
| Adlai_ | JoshDreamland, it doesn't really, that's part of the problem; the ntfs driver has to fake it | 02:23 |
| JoshDreamland | It's doing a horrible job XD | 02:24 |
| Adlai_ | it's doing the best job it can, ntfs's semantics don't match up with unix filesystem semantics | 02:24 |
| JoshDreamland | Yep | 02:24 |
| JoshDreamland | Oh, this is new. Now it just reports "the permissions of \"usb0\" could not be determined." | 02:25 |

| KM0201 | PVCrew: the loading screen?... the ubuntu graphic, or where you choose to try ubuntu | 02:31 |
| JoshDreamland | I have it FAT32 now, but I'm getting these permission errors | 02:31 |
| KM0201 | alberto: for 8gig?.. maybe... but either one, fat32 or ntfs, will work fine | 02:31 |
| TornadoChas3r | for some reason i can write to the hard disk again, i was able to get into the recoevry mode finally. But i noticed apt-get still gives me that error, if i recall someone else had a similar error with apt-get as well so i know better and im using aptitude now | 02:32 |
| Tobei | Anyone else run into the problem with the ubuntu 10.10 install cd / dvd freezing as soon as you choose an option? | 02:32 |
| alberto | KM0201: Yea but there are a lot of devices that will not recognize NTFS, like media players and older BIOS | 02:32 |
| TornadoChas3r | I was able to reinstall the newest kernel image and ran some other updates and so far so good | 02:32 |
| sta7ic | TornadoChas3r: dd is a linux command that copys block for block or something, just man dd | 02:32 |
| PVCrew | i changed it to boot from usb, it doesnt go to the unbuntu graphic at all it | 02:32 |
| KM0201 | alberto: well he didn't mention he had an old machine... and he'd alread said he was having a fat32 issue. | 02:32 |
| KM0201 | PVCrew: ok.. so what happens, you boot hte USB.. do you get a menu that lets you "try" ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| alberto | Before i recommended FAT32 ;) | 02:33 |
| sta7ic | TornadoChas3r: good to hear the good news | 02:33 |
| alberto | Ok, i'm having some issues with an USB card reader, wondering if someone can help | 02:33 |
| PVCrew | no not at all, its not giving me the menu...my bad im completly new to this and trying to figure it out | 02:33 |
| chrislabeard | anyone ever set up postfix on uverse? I'm having trouble getting emails from my server | 02:34 |
| JoshDreamland | Formatting the drive fixed my problem, for no particular reason | 02:34 |
| KM0201 | PVCrew: no problem... how did you create the USB? | 02:34 |
| TornadoChas3r | Well i just notcied one problem, i just installed the newsest kernel and now its hanging at Checking quotas. I may have to boot back into the older kernel or recovery mode and see if i can fix that /: | 02:34 |
| KB1JWQ | chrislabeard: Is there an inbound or outbound port 25 block? | 02:34 |

| Bing0 | Hi (ubuntu 10.10 32bit). I lost the ability to use my WINDOWS+E (and compiz expo) so I can move to another desktop. Is there a reset I can do to get it back? Thanks. | 02:34 |
| chrislabeard | KB1JWQ: I'm not sure how do I check that | 02:34 |
| alberto | I can't reset the permissions, either | 02:34 |

| OvermindDL1 | Greetings, I have a bit of an odd issue. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and I SSH in, start x11vnc, and vnc in over an ssh tunnel. It works fine for some-odd period of time, and, even when doing nothing, the vnc connection drops, reports "caught XIO error:" then "14/01/2011 18:57:13 deleted 60 tile_row polling images.", then closes itself, then about one second later the ssh connection loses connection | 02:35 |

| ChipDSnow | I have a 27" widescreen monitor attached to my laptop, every once in a while, Ubuntu will shut either screen, sometimes both, and will flip flop the priority monitor around. Is there anyway that I can keep the monitors permanently the way I want them (even when shutting off the attached monitor) and not have Ubuntu freak out? | 02:38 |
| chrislabeard | canthus13: Where do I change th port | 02:38 |
| canthus13 | chrislabeard: depends on the mail client. Or the telnet client. | 02:38 |
| Tobei | I followed the step-by-step instructions given at ubuntu.com for both cd and dvd installation and both discs freeze when an option is chosen at the "try ubuntu, install ubuntu" menu (yes, I've tried them all on both the cd and dvd).

| bluezone_ | okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas? | 02:39 |

| OvermindDL1 | Ah, found something in mandriva's bug tracker (not in ubuntu's?) about x11vnc segfaulting X Anyone experience that in Ubuntu? | 02:39 |

| Sc00t3r | canthus13: What's the issue? Perhaps I can provide an opinion? | 02:41 |
| sta7ic | Alex__K: this is the problem, not sure why it doesnt think its ntfs, you may need to change the partition label type to NTFS | 02:41 |

| Sc00t3r | diegoviola: As I am saying, run the program via sudo. Generally, when a directory is unable to be created, the user running the program doesn't have the required permissions by default to do it. Thus, Sudo is required. | 02:47 |
| leandro_ | as set up banshee for not allowing to delete files | 02:47 |
| krabador | It sometimes works , sometimes nor | 02:47 |
| sta7ic | Alex__K: under fdisk, according to your pastebin, it looks like you have a volume label of hidden ntfs instead of label 7 which is NTFS not sure if that will fix ur issue but it would be where i start i think read about it i dont want to corrupt your data =P | 02:47 |
| leandro_ | How do I set banshee to disallow delete files? | 02:47 |

| leandro_ | speak spanish | 02:48 |
| sta7ic | bluezone_: try running 'additional drivers/restricted drivers' or see if your video card manufac has a better driver | 02:48 |
| Alex__K | sta7ic: The array's blank, so don't worry about messing with it | 02:48 |
| sta7ic | Alex__K: in pastebin, it says 'hidden ntfs' | 02:48 |
| JoshDreamland | leandro_: Why would you want to disable that? | 02:48 |
| leandro_ | I want to disable delete files in banshee | 02:48 |
| sta7ic | Alex__K: maybe yer right hold on let me check mine | 02:49 |
| bluezone_ | sta7ic, that's the thing, i can't seem to install the drivers, but anyway, using the drivers in aditional drivers still doesn't fix my boot problem | 02:49 |
| Curly_Q | Hey guys I just re-installed Xubuntu and I hit the command prompt TOP and I see Xorg there. Does that mean that I am still connected to Xorg after upgrading the kernel? | 02:49 |

| Alex__K | sta7ic: I don't see "Hidden NTFS" anywhere :\ | 02:49 |

| curiousx | how can i run the "language manager" ass root from the terminal for example "gksu <language manager" ? | 02:53 |
| curiousx | please helpme | 02:53 |
| Alex__K | sta7ic: My old motherboard had an nVidia controller and it worked fine out of the box, but this new one has an Intel controller and it doesn't seem to want to work with Ubuntu | 02:53 |
| curiousx | i am helping other user =) | 02:53 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Blender is 32-bit x86 by default, which will work on 32-bit and 64-bit x86 systems | 02:53 |
| KM0201 | curiousx: well how about.. "gksu language manager"...lol | 02:53 |
| sta7ic | Alex__K: try this command 'lsvg' | 02:53 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: If all you want to support is x86, that is easy, build for 32-bit and it will run on all | 02:53 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: ah, i see | 02:53 |
| bluezone_ | okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas? | 02:53 |

| sta7ic | bluezone_: ok i saw video problem, safe mode, whats the boot issue other than booting into safe mode | 02:54 |

| cowlicks | #mint | 02:54 |
| Curly_Q | Next question. What is the best IRC Client for Xubuntu? | 02:54 |
| cowlicks | oops | 02:54 |
| sta7ic | Alex__K: it changes so much for me, used to be lsvg oh well i dont know sorry sounds like a volume group more than RAID | 02:55 |
| curiousx | KM0201: i am trying to taruce the language from english to espanish we do everything but we dont change the language becouse 10.10 dont have a root user by default | 02:55 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: 64-bit x86 will run 32-bit x86 as well since 64-bit x86 CPU's have 32-bit support with a simple kernel flag (which is built in so you do not even need to think of it other then 'it works'). | 02:55 |
| curiousx | so y wish to run language manager whit gksu | 02:55 |
| KM0201 | curiousx: did you go to system/admin/language support? | 02:55 |
| bluezone_ | sta7ic, the boot issue is that it will not give me my login screen, my gui, it will shouw ubuntu 10.10 in white text with a purple background and then it will just bring me to a black, terminal screen, like a run level 1, and it will ask me my login and pass | 02:55 |
| cowlicks | Curly_Q: irssi | 02:55 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: but how am i going to keep all the files in one folder from which my program is executable. usually, when compiling, make would install bins into /usr/bin and libs into some other folder etc | 02:55 |
| curiousx | yes but dont want to change i guess that i need root privilages | 02:56 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: That is what you are supposed to do, why do you want to keep everything in one folder? | 02:56 |
| KM0201 | curiousx: if you need root priv. it will tell you you need root priv. | 02:56 |
| sta7ic | bluezone_: best thing to do is turn of gdm or whatever loads X, and try to fix issue and start gdm via console so u dont have to keep rebooting after every thing u try | 02:56 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: mhh...just a second. im trying to get aim straight.... | 02:56 |
| Curly_Q | Cowlicks I have used an older version of irssi, but what are the advantages there? Irssi was a seemingly text IRC client then. What is new with it? Does it use SSH? | 02:56 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html | 02:57 |
| sta7ic | bluezone_: also, ./gdm start - may give you more info if u try to run the service in full (not single user) and from the console | 02:57 |
| bluezone_ | sta7ic, but how will i fix the issue if i don't even know what wrong? :( | 02:57 |
| curiousx | the user i am trying to help that user and he tolme that the windows dont do anything just frizz | 02:57 |
| sta7ic | bluezone_: the hope is that the console will give u more info of what it doesnt like after it fails it will spit out a lot of crap | 02:57 |
| curiousx | excuseme my english is not to good =P | 02:58 |
| bluezone_ | okay let me try | 02:58 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: what i would like to have is a way to compile sources that way i can wrap em up in an archive and extract em on another system and execut em right away | 02:58 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: As per the above link, technically you can put everything in, say, /usr/share/myprogram and that will work, just make a symlink to /usr/share/bin or whatever | 02:58 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Oh, so you do not care about proper installation? | 02:59 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: You can do that fine, as long as it is the right architecture, it should 'just work' | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | curiousx: gksudo gnome-language-selector but i don't think that will have the desired effect | 02:59 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Run it from your home directory is fine | 02:59 |
| curiousx | thanks KM0201 i will try =) | 02:59 |
| curiousx | other wise i will tell the user that install ubuntu on disk | 03:00 |
| Curly_Q | One of the first Linux IRC Clients I used was BitchX. That seemed to work OK at the time though. | 03:00 |

| Curly_Q | Is Irssi a SSH client? | 03:01 |
| OvermindDL1 | Irssi is irc | 03:01 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: i got the architecture thing wrong. i dont care about that, i could build two versions, x64 and x86. but what i want to achieve is to have that program being executable right out of the archive without creating any symlinks. all dependencies should be contained in the programs folder itself | 03:01 |
| Curly_Q | Ipv6 compatible? | 03:01 |
| sta7ic | OvermindDL1: ssh is finicky over bad network cables | 03:02 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: did i get out right now? | 03:02 |
| Curly_Q | Why bugs bugger? | 03:02 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: That is perfectly fine, as long as the program is programmed in such a way to get all of its files from its own directory (or cwd if you prefer) it would work. | 03:02 |
| OvermindDL1 | What is wrong with distributed a deb or something? Or is this a very temporary program? | 03:02 |
| OvermindDL1 | Why not just build it on the remote computers too? | 03:03 |
| bugs_bugger | Curly_Q: because bugs bugger ^^ | 03:03 |
| Curly_Q | Sta7ic what does a network cable have to do with ssh? | 03:03 |
| OvermindDL1 | I have no clue if irrsi is ipv6 compatible, although it would really surprise me if it was not. | 03:03 |
| bugs_bugger | well, i dont have root rights on my universitys pool :$ | 03:03 |
| bluezone_ | okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas?, i am currently trying something, but more info is appreciated | 03:04 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: And? users can still install it locally | 03:04 |

| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: local_install | 03:04 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: instead of install | 03:04 |
| mr_chris | Does the Chromium package in Lucid stay updated with the latest Chromium releases? | 03:04 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: or just do not install it and run it directly | 03:04 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: darn! didnt know about that....oh my | 03:04 |
| krabador | Please help me with huawei k3715 on 10.10 | 03:04 |
| OvermindDL1 | mr_chris: No, personally experience... | 03:04 |
| sta7ic | Curly_Q: ive seen ssh work fine, and then when in interactive mode not work, bad cable was the root cause ssh is very picky and sometimes can work then one thing crassh and burn | 03:04 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: how am i supposed to run it directly? | 03:05 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: as long as your make file supports local_install that will work fine, or as stated, just do not install it and run it directly | 03:05 |
| mr_chris | OvermindDL1: Personally experience? | 03:05 |
| Curly_Q | What is your suggestion Sta7ic? | 03:05 |
| krabador | It works sometimes yes and sometimes not, like not plugged | 03:05 |
| sta7ic | Curly_Q: nothing long shot, dont rule out a network cable to the computer u are sshing into or from thats all | 03:05 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: when you "make" it builds all the files, "make install" just copies those built files to wherever, when you just 'make' without the install you can just access those temp files directly, usually in ./bin in most setups, or whatever you set it up as | 03:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | mr_chris, ubuntu aims for stability (thus not newest anything usually), is you want a more cutting edge Chromium https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 03:05 |
| krabador | Have you some thing to tell me about? | 03:06 |
| bugs_bugger | Curly_Q: just for common knowledge: bugger is pretty british and is an exclaim made in annoyance of s.th. | 03:06 |
| steff12321 | hellppp, i am trying to edit a .conf file in /etc/ and it wont let me save it, what do i do? | 03:06 |
| mr_chris | ZykoticK9: Ok. Thanks. I'm just looking to keep with the latest stable updates. I'll go with standard chrome, then. | 03:06 |
| OvermindDL1 | ZykoticK9: And yet x11vnc locks up the computer... | 03:06 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: ah, i see... | 03:06 |
| OvermindDL1 | ZykoticK9: The one that is in the Ubuntu repository itself to boot... | 03:07 |
| sta7ic | Curly_Q: only reason i know this is at work, we did 'ssh command' and it would fail, but then 'ssh -i command' would work, and replaced the cabled and botjh worked, bizairre | 03:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | OvermindDL1, then repot a bug ;) | 03:07 |
| OvermindDL1 | My remote server is still down, no one on site yet, freaking cnv server... | 03:07 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: so, lets hope i dont need to be root to execute make in the first place... | 03:07 |
| steff12321 | i am trying to edit a .conf file in /etc/ and it wont let me save it, what do i do? | 03:07 |
| Curly_Q | Sta7ic I have need to say that if an SSH Client is there an SSH Server should be at the ready. Is that sensible to you? | 03:07 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu need the 2 bug reporting programs bug-buddy and ubuntu-bug? Why is it not enough to have one bug reporting program? | 03:07 |
| sta7ic | steff12321: try 'sudo vi conf.file' | 03:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | steff12321, use sudo or gksu depending on editor | 03:08 |
| mr_chris | steff12321: How are you trying to edit it? Are you editing it as root? | 03:08 |
| steff12321 | yes, but i want to open it up as a text editor, not as a terminal window | 03:08 |
| steff12321 | open as root | 03:08 |
| sta7ic | steff12321: that makes no sense | 03:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | steff12321, "gksu gedit /etc/PATH/TO/FILE" | 03:08 |
| sta7ic | steff12321: vi is a text editor | 03:08 |
| steff12321 | thanks | 03:08 |
| curiousx | KM0201: he doit itself xD but your help was right my friend thx =) | 03:08 |
| KM0201 | curiousx: strange.. but.. ok | 03:09 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: No, you can run make as user, 'make install' requires root, 'make local_install' can be run as a normal user | 03:09 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: ok, nice... | 03:09 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Assuming you put in a local_install thing | 03:09 |
| JoshDreamland | Hey, if I have leandro_ remove a translation entry from one of Banshee's files, will that item disappear from its context menu? | 03:10 |
| bugs_bugger | Overm | 03:10 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: | 03:10 |
| JoshDreamland | Or will it default to the english translation? | 03:10 |
| bugs_bugger | oops...damn.... | 03:10 |
| OvermindDL1 | Heh | 03:10 |
| bugs_bugger | stupid autocomplete... | 03:10 |
| curiousx | yes to me olso seems strange the reazon is that he has ubuntu on VM and he toldme that he did not can choose the keyboard and language =P | 03:11 |
| bluezone_ | okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas?, i am currently trying something, but more info is appreciated | 03:11 |
| curiousx | but i teel him that he use a little days and he install on disk =) | 03:12 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: i try if the sources are capable of handling local_install. btw, there's no such way for deb's i guess? | 03:12 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Nope, but a deb is just a .tar.gz, you can extract it locally and run them directly anyway, sometimes need to set some environment variables to get the program to run locally, but it runs | 03:12 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Well, a deb 'might' have something akin to local_install, I have never looked... | 03:13 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Hmm... | 03:13 |
| steff12321 | what is the administrative password? | 03:13 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: well, it seems i learned some new stuff tonite....never had the idea to "file" a deb to see what it actually is.... | 03:13 |
| * mzuverink is away: Gone and got busy | 03:13 | |
| tensorpudding | !root | steff12321 | 03:14 |
| ubottu | steff12321: 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 | 03:14 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Extract the .tar.gz part out with ar vx the file.deb | 03:14 |
| * KM0201 embraces sudo | 03:14 | |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Extract the .tar.gz part out with ar vx the_file.deb | 03:14 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: what does the vx argument do? | 03:15 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_ar.htm | 03:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | bugs_bugger, you might need "tar zxvf FILE" if DEBs really are tar.gz (i didn't know that, interesting) | 03:16 |
| steff12321 | but its asking me for an administrative password | 03:16 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: verbose and extract in other words, it extracts a data.tar.gz out of it | 03:16 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: And that has all the file information | 03:16 |
| breadcrumb | steff12321, what is? | 03:17 |
| steff12321 | its asking me for an administrative password and mine is not working | 03:17 |
| steff12321 | gksb | 03:17 |
| steff12321 | gksb** | 03:17 |
| steff12321 | or gedit | 03:17 |
| OvermindDL1 | Well, deb's are not strictly .tra.gz, they are just tar's, or archives, whichever... | 03:17 |
| steff12321 | one of those | 03:17 |
| OvermindDL1 | ar works | 03:17 |
| breadcrumb | if you are running something with sudo, it requires the password of whatever user you are currently using | 03:17 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: nice...will try that asap. im just ssh-ing into my university's pool to see wether i can compile local_install.... | 03:18 |
| yew101 | umm how to start ubuntu guys | 03:18 |
| OvermindDL1 | they contain three files, a debian-binary, the data.tar.gz, and something else | 03:18 |

| donvito | how to restart my wlan0 network ? | 03:21 |
| steff12321 | donvito : can you be more specific please? the answer for the exact question you asked is unplug your router, and plug back in, but i dont think that is what you mean | 03:22 |
| donvito | ifup | 03:22 |
| donvito | if down | 03:22 |
| yew101 | no error message just no exe's or anything that windows can run even in C:\Ubuntu | 03:22 |

| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Heh, not without already having admin access. ;-) | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | donvito: you'll need sudo but i think that should do it | 03:22 |

| usr13 | ubu_noob: What do you have on your PC now? | 03:29 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: how does it work? its on ubuntu servers, innit? | 03:29 |
| ubu_noob | usr13: there was windows, but I want to wipe that :) | 03:30 |
| administrator_ | whq-ubu | 03:30 |

| usr13 | ubu_noob: I've not seen that error, but at what stage of the install process are you at? | 03:31 |

| usr13 | ubu_noob: How far did it get before stalling? | 03:31 |
| ubu_noob | bullgard: I tried google -- no luck | 03:31 |
| bullgard4 | ubu_noob: I am sorry that I cannot help you. | 03:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubu_noob, my googling only turned up the same error (no suggestions/solution, seems like it's for an unrelated bug) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/658970/comments/4 | 03:32 |
| plupke | ubu_noob: use the normal version of ubuntu, the launcher is just a fancy desktop filler for the programs menu | 03:32 |
| usr13 | ubu_noob: You might try 10.04 | 03:33 |
| ubu_noob | usr13: I am booting from the install CD... I guess an early stage because the screen is just purple with some dots, three white, two red | 03:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubu_noob, could you try installing desktop instead? you can simply install the Unity interface on desktop then have the choice of the two. | 03:33 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: mhh....i will mention it if an opportunity presents itself. but i guess there are some good reasons they build it the way it is | 03:33 |
| ubu_noob | It's the desktop install CD, yes | 03:33 |
| szocool | thanks anyway .. bye ! | 03:33 |
| usr13 | ubu_noob: You could also try alternate CD | 03:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubu_noob, are you sure about that? | 03:33 |
| usr13 | ubu_noob: Is this your first Linux install? | 03:34 |
| ubu_noob | what's the alternate CD? | 03:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubu_noob, alternate is the Debian text based installer - instead of fancy GUI Ubuntu one | 03:34 |
| plupke | x_ system - preferences -- sound shows no devices? | 03:34 |
| ubu_noob | Zyko.. sure that it's the desktop install CD? the file is called "ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso"... is that what I want? | 03:34 |
| x_ | plupke, no, my hdmi is shown and the program it outputs to is shown I just get no audio | 03:34 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: they got their own nifty server system anyways. supports ssh connection and the graphical nx-client | 03:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | !tab | ubu_noob | 03:35 |
| ubottu | ubu_noob: 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. | 03:35 |
| ubu_noob | usr: not the first, no... maybe the third time... only did Fedora before tho | 03:35 |
| KM0201 | ubu_noob: the alternat ecd is ubuntu-alternate-i386.iso, i do believe | 03:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubu_noob, it's strange you are getting an error from what appears to be UNE - but yes, ...desktop-i386.iso is the right one. | 03:35 |
| plupke | x_ then your 1 step ahead of me, same problem here but i don't see any device | 03:35 |
| usr13 | ubu_noob: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download | 03:36 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu need the 2 bug reporting programs bug-buddy and ubuntu-bug? Why is it not enough to have one bug reporting program? | 03:36 |
| ubu_noob | ok, I'll try the alternate CD, thanks | 03:36 |
| * KM0201 prefers the alt. install cd | 03:36 | |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard4, ubuntu-bug is the standard bug reporting mechanism, i'm not familiar with bug-buddy | 03:36 |
| usr13 | ubu_noob: Could be bad media, could be hardware issue, etc. etc. | 03:37 |
| bullgard4 | ZykoticK9: Thank you for commenting. | 03:37 |
| KM0201 | usr13: i've just never saw that error freeze the cd... i've gotten it many many times, and i just wait a little longer, and eventually the cd moves past it. | 03:37 |
| ubu_noob | usr13: yes, many possibilities -- trying to narrow them down is my first task :/ | 03:38 |
| ubu_noob | while I'm waiting for the download, here's another question: I'm looking at some open source software that comes in a Debian package but there's a note "does not work with ubuntu yet". This is confusing to me because I thought Ubuntu was derived from Debian. Any ideas? | 03:41 |
| bp0 | what alternative to brasero exists for making cds? | 03:42 |
| bp0 | mp3 cds | 03:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubu_noob, ubuntu is based of debian, but it is different... | 03:42 |
| steff12321 | alright, well noone has answered my question, how do i edit a .conf docunment with admin privelages | 03:42 |
| KM0201 | bp0: gnomebaker | 03:42 |
| steff12321 | i just need the command | 03:42 |
| Nox2k3 | Hey, I'm trying to debug a driver problem in a wireless driver, would it help to compile a kernel that is a bit more debug friendly, is there one available, or does the stock kernel provide "good" enough debug support? | 03:42 |
| steff12321 | and it cant be gksu, that does not work | 03:42 |
| KM0201 | steff12321: gksudo gedit /path/to/file | 03:42 |
| steff12321 | thanks | 03:43 |
| KM0201 | steff12321: sure it does, you're just not doing it right | 03:43 |
| KM0201 | steff12321: gksu would have worked just fine | 03:43 |
| steff12321 | ill try gksudo | 03:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | steff12321, gksu = gksudo | 03:44 |
| techitch | hi guys..i've been provisioned a VPS with a couple of extra ip's | 03:44 |
| KM0201 | steff12321: they're the same thing... if it wasn't working before, you were doing something wrong | 03:44 |
| techitch | and i'm running ubuntu (headless) | 03:44 |
| steff12321 | is there any other way of doing it? | 03:44 |
| techitch | in ifconfig -a i can see the ifb0 and ifb1 interface | 03:44 |
| KM0201 | steff12321: what exactly are you trying to do? | 03:45 |
| steff12321 | edit a vsftpd.conf doc | 03:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | steff12321, what is the path to the file? | 03:45 |
| techitch | but when i set my ips up in /etc/network/interfaces and restart it all of a sudden the box is not contactable remotely - i have to get in via the console | 03:45 |
| smw | techitch, one very long question is better than many small lines. | 03:45 |
| techitch | lol sorry - i dont have the mental capacity to generate a sentance longer than 20 words | 03:46 |
| steff12321 | ./etc/vsftpd.conf | 03:46 |
| smw | techitch, I don't want a long sentence. I want a paragraph on one line :-P | 03:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | steff12321, ./ means current directory - doesn't seem right. do you mean /etc/vsftpd.conf also doesn't seem likely. | 03:47 |
| steff12321 | without the . | 03:47 |
| techitch | consolidated question - i've been provisioned a VPS with a couple of extra ip's, and i'm running ubuntu (headless), in ifconfig -a i can see the ifb0 and ifb1 interface , but when i set my ips up in /etc/network/interfaces and restart it all of a sudden the box is not contactable remotely - i have to get in via the console | 03:47 |
| steff12321 | i did that because otherwise mirc would take it as a command | 03:47 |
| techitch | i added comma's especially for you | 03:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | steff12321, "gksu gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf" then | 03:47 |
| Peddy | how can I find out which files is in use by a certain program? | 03:48 |
| smw | techitch, can you pastebin your interfaces file? | 03:48 |
| bp0 | KM0201, thanks, perfect | 03:48 |
| bp0 | worked great | 03:48 |
| KM0201 | bp0: i don't remember what i told you, but i'm glad it worked..lol | 03:48 |

| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Sorry I took so long to respond, I am at work. Yes, and they could hoist their entire system into such virtual systems on ubuntu server cloud, would give them more reliability, greater failover, among many other advancements. | 03:52 |

| smw | techitch, what about ifconfig? | 03:53 |
| techitch | ifconfig from after i restart networking with the updated config? | 03:54 |
| smw | techitch, I suggest taking an ifconfig when internet is down and piping it to a file. Then get network working and send it to me | 03:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeeves_moss, be aware FTP should be avoided if possible, all passwords are sent in clear text. SSH supports file transfers if that is an option. | 03:54 |

| jeeves_moss | ZykoticK9, thre is some custom software on this server that requires FTP | 03:55 |
| OvermindDL1 | Zykotick9: I have been curious, I use SSH, and I transfer files over sftp, but sometimes I have to sudo in ssh to access a file, is there anyway to transfer such a file back to me over ssh? | 03:56 |

| ZykoticK9 | jeeves_moss, gotcha. Good luck. | 03:56 |

| ZykoticK9 | OvermindDL1, sounds like a permission issue if you must sudo, i have no idea man. sorry. | 03:56 |

| zaery | ChipDSnow, i plug a extra monitor into my laptop every day, well, at least every work day | 03:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChipDSnow, are you using nvidia? | 03:57 |
| OvermindDL1 | Zykotick9: Yeah, a user owns the file, but the user is not a 'real' user and you cannot log in as that user, but I need to get it on occasion (a log), and it would be easier to transfer it locally then viewing remotely, but I just view it remotely since I have yet to figure out how to 'sudo' in sftp... | 03:57 |

| OvermindDL1 | struhevol: 10.04 or 10.10? | 04:01 |

| DarkStar1 | devkorcvince: nor me | 04:18 |
| AbhiJit | ranjan, its free software | 04:18 |
| ranjan | AbhiJit, is it free software or freeware?? | 04:18 |
| smw | techitch, can you do ifconfig when internet is working? | 04:18 |
| AbhiJit | ranjan, freeware | 04:18 |
| devkorcvince | DarkStar1, ctrl-alt-d | 04:18 |
| ranjan | AbhiJit, how many concurrent sessions? | 04:19 |
| DarkStar1 | devkorcvince: That did it. :D Thanks | 04:19 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: hah, now i wont have to install windows binaries in wine to get most of the applications running, just unpacking them will do the job.... | 04:19 |
| AbhiJit | ranjan, no idea just read their docs | 04:19 |
| devkorcvince | DarkStar1, no prob i forgot i change mine for vim purposes | 04:19 |
| bluezone | hasee, so what do i install from here? | 04:19 |
| hasee | bluezone wait a minute | 04:19 |
| AbhiJit | ranjan, its full version is free to non commercial use. for commercial use they apply charges | 04:20 |
| shcherbak | Guest39978: what repos do you have there? | 04:20 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: so, no w(h)ining anymore ;-D | 04:20 |
| * AbhiJit wonders how they know this! | 04:20 | |
| aLemmer | Hey, I'm using Gnome with Window Selector. Sometimes it doesn't display all of the windows. Anyone know what this is about? | 04:20 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Heh, always great when everything gets setup and working. :) | 04:20 |
| hasee | bluezone open a terminal and type the following comand | 04:20 |
| hasee | bluezone sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 04:20 |
| bluezone | okay 1 sec | 04:20 |
| lakcaj | I have two machines on my network behind a router, a linux box and a windows box. I would like my wife on her windows box to be able to login to a graphical linux environment hosted from my linux machine and was looking for suggestions on the best way to accomplish this. | 04:21 |
| bluezone | hasee, succes | 04:21 |
| hasee | bluezone ok | 04:21 |
| hasee | bluezone andnow copy this | 04:21 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: yep. it means that, at least some times, in the end p.e.b.c.a.c. can be overcome by a stiff upper lip :) | 04:21 |
| hasee | bluezone $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings | 04:21 |
| hasee | bluezone without $ | 04:22 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: *p.e.b.c.a.k. | 04:22 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: Hah, I still deal with pebcak everyday in my job. :p | 04:22 |
| bluezone | hasee, yes, one moment | 04:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | bugs_bugger, pebkac actually ;) | 04:22 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: dont we all | 04:22 |
| shcherbak | Guest39978: try this in terminal: java | 04:22 |
| sacarlson | lakcaj: I guess you could use vnc like vino on the linux side and some vnc client on windows | 04:22 |
| bluezone | hasee, crap this will take awhile, slow repo server i guess | 04:23 |
| bluezone | hasee, but in advance what must i do after | 04:23 |
| bugs_bugger | ZykoticK9: innit all the same? computer or keybord, the problem is allways in between, regardless if the keybord comes first or the computer :) | 04:23 |
| hasee | bluezone just reboot your computer, or restart the X session | 04:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | bugs_bugger, true :) | 04:23 |
| ranjan | bluezone, did you try the opensource driver for nvidia ?? | 04:24 |
| sacarlson | lakcaj: vino on ubuntu is installed by default on the windows side you could use http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvncviewer.html | 04:24 |
| bluezone | ranjan, yep, no succes, refuses to boot to gui still | 04:24 |
| lakcaj | sacarlson, thanks - I'll try that! | 04:24 |
| ranjan | bluezone, was that a fresh installation that you tried on or was it after installing the proprietary stuff?? | 04:24 |
| bugs_bugger | ok guys. ill call it a day. im going to drop fast asleep soon anyway. see, i dont even know if that sentence is in correct grammatical order any more. | 04:25 |
| bluezone | ranjan, it was after i screwed something up, initially they worked, now everything is @)(#*$)(#* lol | 04:25 |
| wolter | If I want to build empathy from source I just need to run sudo apt-get build-dep to get the dependencies right? | 04:26 |
| Naia | I have a question but unsure of how to find the right channel to ask it? | 04:26 |
| bluezone | bugs_bugger, bye! | 04:26 |
| wolter | I get this http://pastebin.com/LxVC4Rsf | 04:26 |
| shcherbak | Naia: go on | 04:26 |
| ranjan | bluezone, then go for a fresh installation and use the opensource drivers | 04:26 |
| Naia | I just converted from Win 2 days ago. I have 2 drives in my system. Ubuntu 10.10 is not recognizing (at all) the 2nd drive, which is a writer. | 04:27 |
| ranjan | bluezone, so that no hassles with the Plymouth issue etc | 04:27 |
| shcherbak | bluezone: can you get resgue mode? | 04:27 |
| bluezone | ranjan, if this doesn't work, then i will have to, (ffs,) but then i am going to have to fix my wireless issue again., and upgrade kernel, and then it is going to be the same story all over again | 04:27 |
| watermains | got a recommendation between using ubuntu-restricted versus medibuntu? | 04:27 |
| bluezone | schatan, rescue? yes i can use rescue i am using it now | 04:28 |
| shcherbak | Naia: pleae paste of fdisk -l | 04:28 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: ZykoticK9: (dunno if double nick-adressing works) thanks for the accompaniance. see you around i guess, i will stumble upon my next issue soon enough ^^ bye | 04:28 |

| sacarlson | wolter: I assume that was for the apt-get line? you need to sudo that line | 04:28 |
| ranjan | bluezone, which is your wireless adapter? | 04:28 |
| OvermindDL1 | bugs_bugger: It does, you do not even need to specify at the start, but any point in the message. :) | 04:28 |

| wolter | yeah I wrote sudo ) | 04:28 |
| wolter | :) | 04:28 |
| bluezone | i had to upgrade kernel to fix my problem ranjan and that created this problem | 04:29 |
| ranjan | bluezone, being from Intel you find it problematic in Linux? | 04:29 |
| shcherbak | bluezone: good, try to remove nvidia/ati driver. after dpkg --recofigure | 04:29 |
| bugs_bugger | OvermindDL1: noted as the last thing to have learned today :D over and out | 04:29 |

| ranjan | bluezone, did you try something from here http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/sb/cs-006408.htm | 04:30 |
| techitch | smw, heres the weird thing, i commented out the ifb0 and ifb1 interfaces restarted networking and now its working again on eth0 but i try pinging ifb0 and ifb1 and it works | 04:30 |
| techitch | they still appear in ifconfig though | 04:31 |
| wolter | DarkStar1, try . .bashrc | 04:31 |
| DarkStar1 | without having to log out | 04:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | DarkStar1, the easy way is just type "bash" to load a new shell, but there is a better way | 04:31 |
| ranjan | DarkStar1, i think by using the "source" command | 04:31 |
| wolter | ranjan, DarkStar1 source = . right? | 04:31 |
| bluezone | ranjan, already did, no luck, upgrading kernel fixed the problem though, i upgraded to 2.6.36-020636-generic #201010210905 | 04:31 |
| DarkStar1 | ranjan: never used that command before but I'll look into it. thanx | 04:32 |
| ranjan | wolter, i think its source filename | 04:32 |
| sacarlson | wolter: I must have missed something, I don't see anything above that states you are building from ppa | 04:32 |
| === jwkokc is now known as jk_ | ||
| wolter | sacarlson, no, i'm not using a ppa, but I think you nailed it, maybe my mirror is incomplete or something | 04:32 |

| Naia | shcherbak: No. That's external drive, usb connected. | 04:33 |

| DarkStar1 | ranjan: Aye.. Thank you all ppl :) | 04:35 |
| ranjan | DarkStar1, :) | 04:35 |
| Naia | shcherbak: Excuse me a moment. I'll put system back the way it was, restart and show the original setup. A moment, please. | 04:35 |
| bluezone | the moment of truth, be right back | 04:35 |
| shcherbak | Naia: ok, what drives should be visible? 650, 750, 20 Gb? | 04:35 |
| shcherbak | bluezone: what graphic card do you have?# | 04:37 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find a somewhat detailed description what '~$ service network restart' does? | 04:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard4, it shouldn't do anything other then give the error "network: unrecognized service" | 04:40 |
| Mahjongg | how to make neatx accept keys rather than passwords? | 04:40 |
| shcherbak | bullgard4: networking | 04:42 |
| bullgard4 | ZykoticK9: If your statement is true then the command is pretty useless. Do you want to tell me this? | 04:42 |
| bullgard4 | shcherbak: Can you elaborate. | 04:42 |
| * bluezone shoots himself and then hangs himself | 04:43 | |
| r00t4rd3d | lol | 04:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard4, in older versions of ubuntu I had no problems restarting the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" but recent versions I just reboot to refresh networking to be honest | 04:43 |
| bluezone | now i can get the system to boot properly and i have the open-source driver activated but i still cant change the resolution and my monitor is not detected | 04:43 |
| shcherbak | bullgard4: sudo service networking <TAB><TAB> | 04:44 |
| shcherbak | !upstart | bullgard4 | 04:44 |
| ubottu | bullgard4: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 04:44 |
| bluezone | and when i load the nvidia x server settings it tells me to edit my x configuration file ? | 04:44 |
| shcherbak | bluezone: remove nvidia driver, jockey-text or in menu. | 04:45 |
| Naia | shcherbak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554268/ | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluezone, if you are using the OS nvidia driver then nvidia-settings no longer applies | 04:45 |
| sacarlson | bullgard4: on mine service network restart returns network: unrecognized service , but normaly service I think runs the script found in /etc/init.d/network so if you have that file there you can read what's in it to find out what it does | 04:45 |
| r00t4rd3d | bluezone, nvida-xconfig | 04:45 |

| bluezone | New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 04:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluezone, to be honest - i think it's a waste of an nvidia card to use the OS drivers - 3D is not prime-time there yet | 04:46 |
| FloodBot3 | bluezone: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:46 |
| bluezone | sorry :( | 04:46 |
| r00t4rd3d | seems you have to edit your xorg.conf file | 04:47 |
| bluezone | ZykoticK9, yeah but installing the other driver doesnt work either, i already mentioned my problems abouve if u were here awhile ago | 04:47 |
| gizmobay | I'm trying to run a program at certain time just once. I dl'd another program to do this with a GUI but I can't remeber what it was called. | 04:48 |
| bluezone | r00t4rd3d, wonderful lol | 04:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluezone, nvidia-xconfig said in it's output that it created a new xorg.conf for you. | 04:49 |

| ZykoticK9 | r00t4rd3d, FYI nv is outdated at this point bluezone - I don't think the nouveau driver is called nv | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | gizmobay: I run a gui called gnome-schedule | 04:50 |
| TurmptTarp | fallout new vegas is outdated for a long time now | 04:50 |
| gizmobay | thanks sacarlson | 04:50 |
| TurmptTarp | fallout 3 was outdated less than a yaer after its release | 04:51 |
| shcherbak | Naia: it is very easy, remove both. take empty ide and hook up one drive, boot to bios. do same with second drive (do not slave them yet). if your bios recognise them hook both up, slave if needed. | 04:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluezone, nv "might" still work though | 04:51 |

| watermains | help, I installed the nvidia drivers under the repository here: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html but now when I load up "Hardware Drivers" it tells me "This driver is activated but not currently in use". I try to run xconfig but get this error: sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found" Should I install fglrx-installer | 04:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluezone, lol - there was never an ubuntu 1.0 - but i get your point | 04:52 |
| shcherbak | Naia: did you tried to remove one? | 04:52 |
| bluezone | ZykoticK9, yep lol | 04:52 |
| Naia | shcherbak: No... I'll do that now. | 04:52 |

| === PVCrew is now known as indras | ||
| watermains | Also I am running 10.04, and have an EVGA GTX460 so the package in the official repositories is too old | 04:53 |
| sacarlson | watermains: I had problems with my nvidia in a similar way, I just deleted --purged what I did in synaptic and others and used the System>Administration>Hardware drivers, | 04:54 |
| bluezone | r00t4rd3d, for some reason, i cannot do this step: Find Driver "nvidia" line in Device section, replace it with Driver "nv" and save the file | 04:54 |
| bluezone | because nvidia is not in the device section | 04:55 |
| watermains | sacarlson: yeah here's my issue though. When i booted up from a fresh install, there was nothing listed under "Hardware Drivers". nothing would install until I selected nvidia-current from apt on the command line or synaptic | 04:56 |
| sacarlson | watermains: or you could try direct from nvidea site if that fails | 04:56 |
| watermains | sacarlson: yep, from nvidia site is a last resort. the troubling thing is, I have 260.xxx installed, but it isn't configuring | 04:56 |
| Naia | shcherbak: I remove the simple DVD player and nothing shows up in Places>Computer. | 04:56 |
| KM0201 | watermains: what do you mean isn't configuring? | 04:57 |
| bluezone | you know what (@#$ this (#@# (sorry) but (@#$ i am reformatting and clean install, lol i am losing my mind | 04:57 |
| TurmptTarp | bluezone, this may sound extreme, but have you considered developing a driver for your video card? | 04:57 |
| bluezone | haha | 04:57 |
| * bluezone realizes that if he can't install one that he can't develop one | 04:58 | |
| KM0201 | lol | 04:58 |
| shcherbak | Naia: ls /dev/cd* | 04:58 |
| TurmptTarp | process of elimination but very broad | 04:58 |
| watermains | I mean sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 04:58 |
| TurmptTarp | just keep trying and i am sure you can setup a half decent one and people can help maybe. we are open source | 04:59 |
| Naia | shcherbak: ls: cannot access /dev/cd*: No such file or directory | 04:59 |
| watermains | after I have installed nvidia-current | 04:59 |
| shcherbak | Naia: is it powered, can you open tray? | 04:59 |
| bullgard4 | ZykoticK9: Thank you for commenting. | 04:59 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, i've scrwed with this 2 days now, i don't think theres something viable that i haven't tried yet | 04:59 |
| aLemmer | Hey, I'm using Gnome with Window Selector. Sometimes it doesn't display all of the windows. Anyone know what this is about? | 04:59 |
| el_seano | aLemmer: I've had this issue now and again. I think it's Compiz occasionally arguing with Metacity. You can explicitly set some options in gconf-editor | 05:01 |
| sacarlson | watermains: apears the nvidea 260.19.29 is the latest, after installed did you see the System>Administration>Nvidea server settings ? | 05:01 |
| aLemmer | el_seano: Could you elaborate on what that might be, or should I just go digging around? | 05:01 |
| watermains | sacarlson: no, I don't and also Hardware Drivers tells me "the driver is activated but not currently in use: | 05:01 |
| kiran | helo | 05:02 |
| kiran | helloooooooooooooo | 05:02 |
| el_seano | aLemmer: Honestly, I don't really know the specifics. I just fiddled around with it trying different settings and eventually got it to work. | 05:02 |
| bluezone | HIII | 05:02 |
| === kiran is now known as Guest41208 | ||
| el_seano | but do open up gconf-editor, and look under apps->metacity, and apps->compiz for some options. | 05:03 |
| el_seano | it tends to be more flexible and useful than the gui configuration managers. | 05:03 |
| sacarlson | watermains: well I was close to where you are by my installing and removeing it messted up stuf, complete purge all and start from one seems to be the key | 05:03 |
| Naia | shcherbak: Yes. It is powered. | 05:03 |
| el_seano | ahem, the other gui configurations. | 05:03 |
| el_seano | (you can edit gconf through ~/.gconf too, but I wouldn't recommend it) | 05:03 |
| TurmptTarp | bluezone, i still think you can develop your own video driver. it won't be work out of the box pro retail or anything | 05:03 |
| shcherbak | dmesg|grep CD | 05:04 |
| shcherbak | naia: dmesg|grep CD | 05:04 |
| TurmptTarp | despite popular misconception, there is creativity in programming. not everything needs to meet the same recipe to get teh same job done. | 05:04 |
| watermains | sacarlson, I'm going to try running jockey-gtk, but if that fails I think I'm first going to wipe out and reinstall, then try again with the ppa first. this is a new install anyway | 05:04 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, i don't think printf() and scanf() is sufficient to develop that | 05:04 |
| Naia | shcherbak: Did nothing. Just returned to command line. | 05:04 |
| TurmptTarp | one sec bluezone, i will hook u up | 05:05 |
| TurmptTarp | your card is what type though? nivida for sure? | 05:05 |
| bluezone | yep | 05:05 |
| bluezone | 8400M GS | 05:05 |
| sacarlson | watermains: I think you might try the nvidea dirrect first might give you a better chance since you said at first jockey didn't detect anything | 05:05 |
| watermains | hmmmm, ok, so what should I purge out before trying going nvidia manually? and then which page's steps should I follow to install? | 05:06 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, maybe it is just my xorg.conf that is all screwed up | 05:06 |
| sacarlson | watermains: but what ever path you take before you try another do a complete --purge of the package before you try the next step | 05:06 |

| watermains | sacarlson OK, thank you | 05:07 |
| bluezone | i am starting to feel that nvidia is merging with a competence level of adobe | 05:07 |
| sacarlson | watermains: whatever has nvidia that you installed in synaptic I guess, if you start from scratch keep track of what you install so you --purge on the next try | 05:08 |
| TurmptTarp | hey bluezone, just a warning though you will be taking a risk as you develop your video driver | 05:09 |
| Naia | shcherbak: I am still new. Please refresh command line to open Synaptics Package... | 05:09 |
| bluezone | what type of risk | 05:09 |
| TurmptTarp | this best puts it. "Drivers operate in a highly privileged environment and can cause disaster if they get things wrong.[2] In contrast, most user-level software on modern operating systems can be stopped without greatly affecting the rest of the system. Even drivers executing in user mode can crash a system if the device is erroneously programmed. These factors make it more difficult and... | 05:10 |
| TurmptTarp | ...dangerous to diagnose problems." | 05:10 |

| sacarlson | watermains: oh if it's just a black screen and you still have sound at boot then it's just you have the monitor hooked to the wrong plug on the card | 05:10 |
| TurmptTarp | don't worry though. it will be fun | 05:11 |
| watermains | sacarlson no, no black screen. just low resolution | 05:11 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, mmkay | 05:11 |
| sacarlson | watermains: oh ok good luck | 05:11 |
| watermains | yeah, I notice that 260.xxx shows that it supports a 460 but not a 460SE. I'm not sure which mine is | 05:11 |
| bto | hi everyone. | 05:12 |
| sacarlson | watermains: that should be seen with lspci , I assume it would work | 05:12 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, at this point what would be more viable, reformatting or programming the driver? | 05:12 |
| bto | i've been having a bit of trouble with my laptop when using WiFi on battery | 05:12 |
| TurmptTarp | reformatting is faster, but there is no guarantee that will help | 05:12 |
| TurmptTarp | you may be right back in your situation | 05:12 |
| watermains | sacarlson: ahhh, lspci doesn't see mine accurately, it just kindof says "generic nvidia" | 05:12 |
| bto | ubuntu seems to do some agressive WiFi power reduction | 05:12 |
| bto | is there any way to control/reduce that? | 05:13 |
| TurmptTarp | give me a bit and i will pull up the info you need to program your video driver | 05:13 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, i already know i will end up yeah,,... i fixed my wireless and then i broke my video card drivers, and then both of them broke -.- | 05:13 |
| sacarlson | watermains: what about lspci -v | 05:13 |
| shcherbak | Naia: can you put cd into drive? | 05:13 |
| bluezone | okay | 05:13 |
| shcherbak | Naia: Why synaptic? | 05:13 |
| Naia | shcherbak: Yes. I can. Does nothing. I got hwinfo, would you like to see results? | 05:13 |
| Naia | shcherbak: to install hwinfo. I figured it out. :) | 05:14 |
| watermains | sacarlson: 08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0e23 (rev a1) | 05:14 |
| shcherbak | Naia: lets go, paste it. | 05:14 |
| bluezone | nvidia sucks fml :( | 05:14 |
| hasee | bluezone yes, nvidia drivers forlinux suckssss | 05:15 |
| watermains | sacarlson, I'm still using the PPA which is 260.19.29, the latest which says it supports all the 460s | 05:15 |
| bluezone | aa hasee you are back | 05:15 |
| Naia | shcherbak: Whoops. Is so long, the terminal erased some. :-/ Won't get all of it. | 05:15 |
| shcherbak | Naia: do you have /dev/sr0 | 05:15 |
| watermains | Man, I had been lead to believe it was the ATI drivers for linux that sucked, that nVidia were decent | 05:15 |
| bluezone | hasee, the think you told me didn't fix my problem unfourtunetely lol | 05:15 |
| bluezone | hasee, now i can boot onto my system but i still can't change my resoultion and my monitor isnt detected | 05:16 |
| shcherbak | hwinfo > ~/output && gedit output | 05:16 |
| sacarlson | watermains: well that's the same as the latiest number I see from nvidea so that should be promissing | 05:16 |
| TurmptTarp | hasee, i thought it was ATI that sucked for ubuntu linux | 05:16 |
| watermains | sacarlson, actually I find it kindof troubling that I have the latest version but it still doesn't work | 05:16 |
| PerfM | I can't believe I didn't introduce myself! | 05:17 |
| TurmptTarp | i have ATI. but it was too late before i found out | 05:17 |
| PerfM | HI ThERE! | 05:17 |
| bluezone | ffs | 05:17 |
| watermains | I kindof think installing directly from nVidia won't help since its the same version | 05:17 |
| ice9 | ahoy gents | 05:17 |
| Naia | shcherbak: How do I find out ... if I have /dev/sr0 ? ? | 05:17 |
| hasee | bluezon sorry, i cant install the official driver (nvidia web) and this way works for me | 05:18 |
| hasee | bluezone sorry for my bad english | 05:18 |
| hasee | haha | 05:18 |
| shcherbak | naia: ls /dev/sr0 | 05:18 |
| Naia | shcherbak: ls: cannot access /dev/sr0: No such file or directory | 05:18 |
| bluezone | hasee, haha np, i don't know what i screwed up though, because they were working before | 05:18 |
| NeoKipling[CN] | test ssl 7000 security | 05:18 |
| hasee | TurmpTarp ATI rocks on ubuntu 10.10 | 05:19 |
| TurmptTarp | ok bluezone this is 18 chapters of reading. but it includes info about network drivers. http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ | 05:19 |
| shcherbak | Naia: wodim -checkdrive | 05:19 |
| ice9 | so I've been researching and reading forums for the last 2 hours and I apologize, this is all like a new language to me. I installed ubuntu today side by side with my windows 7 | 05:19 |
| TurmptTarp | if you need help just let me know and i will try to program one with ya | 05:19 |
| bluezone | TurmptTarp, :O i was talking about video card drivers but okay | 05:19 |
| TurmptTarp | i think this includes video | 05:19 |
| ice9 | and I'm trying to view the windows partition files from ubuntu, and I'm also trying to figure out how to be able to boot back into windows :< | 05:19 |
| bto | Hi guys, I'd appreciate a little help: when using WiFi on my laptop while connected, I get decent signal and bandwidth and when using WiFi on battery, I get ultra slow internet and a bit lower signal. I'm using the recent broadcom driver. What should I do? | 05:19 |
| TurmptTarp | or at least by the time you are done you can find the info nvidia or ati has for your card and then easily apply waht you learn | 05:20 |
| TurmptTarp | have a driver up and going in no time | 05:20 |
| Naia | shcherbak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554274/ | 05:20 |
| sacarlson | watermains: seems like you should be able to just do a complete --purge of you ppa driver and reinstall it. remember it's the last installed that will be running not what is still installed | 05:20 |

| atif | how are you | 05:22 |
| Naia | bto: if you were using a Windows machine, I'd say check the settings. Is it going to a low power state when disconnect cored? | 05:22 |
| Jagden | good | 05:22 |
| bullgard4 | Jagden: Yes. I used the international time format when reporting to you. | 05:22 |

| atif | good | 05:23 |
| bto | I used to have 10.04 and this did not happen :( | 05:23 |
| shcherbak | Naia: back to bios theory, disable cd/dvd (whatever bios see) from boot options, so hard drive would only stay. | 05:23 |
| TurmptTarp | bluezone, of course you could also just reformatt. i think there are also some guides on how to restore ubuntu to its default settings it had from install. which may fix x-serv. | 05:23 |
| Jagden | in russia 12 23 | 05:23 |

| jhansonxi | Guest91572, acpi=off will keep the laptop from powering off when shutting down so you'll have to force it when it says "system halted". Just hold the power button down for 10 seconds or so. | 05:37 |

| Mary-Jane | So hi umm... I was wondering just a simple question. I seem to have downloaded a program called Pulseaudio 3 times.. and it is flooding my HTOP in 3 places with using 5-10% CPU/MEM usage and I just want to know how I can permanently delete only 2 of the programs. | 05:40 |
| bullgard4 | zaery: "doesn't work" is no exact description. Try to give a more exact description so that people can help you better. | 05:40 |
| Naia | shcherbak: oops. Anyway - when cleaning system, always plug the sata cable back into the motherboard. | 05:41 |
| frustro | hi all, have a hp dv6000, tried two different d/l iso's (10.10x64) keep getting ubiquity error, says to submit syslog and partman.....(cut off) but the os never installs far enough to get to the desktop. | 05:41 |
| Mary-Jane | its /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog 3 times in a row and want it to only have 1 | 05:41 |
| shcherbak | Naia: ok, does it apply to ide too? | 05:42 |
| zaery | I'm currently running the dist-upgrade app, and my usb mouse doesn't work. It was working a few minutes ago, when the app wasn't in the install phase. Luckily, I'm on a laptop, so i don't need my mouse right now, i have a touchpad that still works. | 05:42 |
| jhansonxi | frustro, try an "alternate" iso if you can put up with a text-mode interface (no worse then WinXP's installer) | 05:42 |

| Iceninecynic | when I do sudo fdisk -l looking for an ntsf partition, all I get is "linux swap / solaris" "extended" and "linux" | 05:43 |
| shcherbak | Naia: Weel, to the next one. | 05:43 |
| Naia | shcherbak: Apparently, when I cleaned system, I didn't plug it back into the motherboard. ;) | 05:43 |
| Naia | exit | 05:43 |
| frustro | jhansonxi, thank will try and report back. | 05:43 |
| Naia | sorry | 05:44 |
| bullgard4 | Mary-Jane: You cannot normally load PulseAudio 3 times. What you have probably done is that you have downloaded several different Pulseaudio subprograms. This is quite normal. | 05:44 |
| michael_ | ? | 05:44 |
| jhansonxi | indras, Run the "hardware drivers" tool. You probably need Broadcom firmware which it will install. Unfortunately you'll need a wired connection so it can get it. | 05:44 |
| devkorcvince | frustro: i have dv6.i7 but it has kernel and bios problem the only thing that works for my dv is wubi install | 05:44 |
| michael_ | well idin't se wat u posted up\ | 05:44 |

| Mary-Jane | I still have weed right n front of me and a bong... so tempting | 05:46 |
| michael_ | lol | 05:46 |
| jhansonxi | indras, I think the tool/package is "fwcutter". Search for that and broadcom and perhaps you'll find an alternate install method. | 05:46 |
| michael_ | the acpi wan't on there? | 05:47 |
| michael_ | help | 05:47 |

| elkingrey | Hello! Noob here! | 06:03 |
| bullgard4 | bluezone: Find out the access rights of your file that you want to copy. May be you will need superuser rights to copy that particular file. | 06:03 |
| smuxidummy | !tab_lol | 06:03 |
| scriptwarlock | spacevoids, yes thats the one you give screenies | 06:03 |
| nirazio | Trying to install any of ubuntustudio- (ubuntustudio-audio, ubuntustudio-font-meta, etc.) "tasks" with tasksel always fails, saying "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" (while other options, like lamp-server, for example, work ok). Why? | 06:03 |
| spacevoid | http://i.imgur.com/Y1ixU.jpg i am getting this in my sound prperties and onyl get front right andleft working no matter what i select | 06:03 |
| smuxidummy | noob saibot here lol | 06:03 |
| scriptwarlock | spacevoids, select the one which is working right i suggest use the 5.1 analog | 06:03 |
| AbhiJit | how to uninstall the old lernel? | 06:04 |
| borreguito | for irc..... xchat is the best!! | 06:04 |
| spacevoid | i tried that ... but i hear nothing in the center and rear | 06:04 |
| bluezone | bullgard4: the idea is how do i get super user with the gui | 06:04 |
| JoeMofknDot- | can anyone in here walk me through how to get the optical sound port to work i have sound through headphone jack but none through optical | 06:04 |
| AbhiJit | should i uninsltall image or headers? | 06:05 |
| spacevoid | Then I did speaker-test -dplug sorround51 c6 command and it plays only frontright and left | 06:05 |
| borreguito | for super user.... from the termina... launc sudo nautilus | 06:05 |
| rww | !gksudo | borreguito | 06:05 |
| ubottu | borreguito: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 06:05 |
| AegNuddel | Is there a way to make it so that rendering is always software rendering? | 06:05 |
| scriptwarlock | spacevoids, check the volumes of each channel thru alsamixer | 06:05 |
| sjuxax | Hello. I have two problems. First, the GDM login screen is shown in the correct resolution, but when I go down to a session, 800x600 is the only option. How do I fix that? | 06:05 |
| spacevoid | did that too .. they all are maxed up but i can hear nothing | 06:06 |
| borreguito | but... sudo nautulis lauches a files explorer | 06:06 |
| scriptwarlock | spacevoid who are yuo talking to? | 06:06 |
| sjuxax | Second, I am trying to configure a manual connection through networkmanager, and have set it up correctly. But route shows the gateway as dslmodem.domain on the static IP and Firefox doesn't work, but it shows teh IP address on auto, and auto works fine. | 06:06 |
| spacevoid | you | 06:06 |
| jhansonxi | sjuxax, the limit is either what the driver thinks the card can do or what the monitor reports it can handle over DDC to the driver. | 06:07 |
| scriptwarlock | dont forget to mention the handles so we can reply to you properly | 06:07 |
| spacevoid | handles ? whats that | 06:07 |
| bullgard4 | bluezone: I do not know what you precisely mean by "with the gui". Usually you obtain super user privileges using the command prefix in a terminal. -- You can also call 'sudo gksu nautilus' to obtain superuser rights and then copy a file using Nautilus. | 06:07 |
| frustro | sjuxax, when you manually set the ip, after you enter in the gateway, hit the enter key and not just save or apply. IP tab, netmask tab, gateway enter. | 06:08 |
| sjuxax | jhansonxi: It works correctly on GDM. Why does GDM get a different report than the user's session? | 06:08 |
| obscurant1st | is there anyway i could use the start button of my keybopard to open up the menu in my system panel, line windows does? | 06:08 |
| jhansonxi | sjuxax, Firefox doesn't work with names? IP addresses? both? | 06:08 |
| sjuxax | frustro: OK, why does that cause a problem? That's a pretty weird limitation | 06:08 |
| spacevoid | sorry irc noob here ... you mean quoting yourname while i right then i can do that | 06:08 |
| sjuxax | jhansonxi: Works with IPs, not names | 06:08 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurantst, is alt+f1 do? | 06:09 |
| frustro | sjuxax, i dunnu why, that's what i had to do in network manager for my eth0 in 10.10x64 | 06:09 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurantlst, is alt+f1 do? | 06:09 |
| rww | spacevoid: you see how my message has "spacevoid:" at the start of it? do that. except with the nick of the person you're talking to, not yours ;) | 06:09 |
| frustro | sjuxax, if i didn't, it wouldnt stay. | 06:09 |
| sjuxax | frustro: OK, thanks, trying it now so might get disconnected. | 06:09 |
| jhansonxi | sjuxax, If IPs and not names then it's a DNS problem. In a terminal window do "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and see what the "nameserver" address is. | 06:09 |
| spacevoid | rww gotcha | 06:09 |
| obscurant1st | scriptwarlock: thanks, i man i never knew that. | 06:09 |
| sjuxax | It stays in the list for me, but it doesn't work :\ | 06:09 |
| rww | \o/ | 06:09 |

| obscurant1st | scriptwarlock: but still we cant make the startbutton to do that? | 06:10 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurantlst, remap if you want | 06:10 |
| bluezone | bullgard4: i still can't copy my entire home folder, it still gives me the permission error when using sudo nautilus which makes absolutely no sense | 06:10 |
| obscurant1st | scriptwarlock: where can i remap that? | 06:10 |
| jhansonxi | sjuxax, check the logs, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and in /var/log/gdm/* | 06:10 |
| bushizi | test for the first time | 06:11 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurantlst, keyboard shortcuts | 06:11 |
| spacevoid | scriptwarlock here is a screen of my alsamixer http://i.imgur.com/GwtDg.png | 06:11 |
| bullgard4 | bluezone: "it still gives me the permission error" is no exact description and I cannot help you. | 06:11 |
| ice_ | yun | 06:11 |
| jhansonxi | sjuxax, the X.org log should indicate what resolutions it thinks are available. Also check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if there are any manual settings there that are overriding the auto-detected ones. | 06:12 |
| scriptwarlock | spacevoid, is the front midd included? | 06:12 |
| bluezone | bullgard4: nevermind ill just copy what i can | 06:12 |
| dagon | hey scriptwarlock how are ya | 06:12 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurantlst, you can use this gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_L" | 06:12 |
| scriptwarlock | dagon, fine and you? | 06:13 |
| dagon | Good! getting nice and dirty with linux and lovin it | 06:13 |
| spacevoid | scriptwarlock the front mic is not connected. I am only interested in gettng thwe audio from the rear connectors on the mobo which provide 5.1 in windows environemnt | 06:13 |
| scriptwarlock | dagon, how did you manage to install | 06:13 |
| dagon | Very carefully I guess lol | 06:14 |
| AegNuddel | There are things my graphics card will not render right even though it says it is OpenGL copatible, has all the stuff enabled, etc. I managed to put one program into a software rendering mode. It there any way to make this the default behavior? | 06:14 |
| obscurant1st | scriptwarlock: in keyboard shortcuts we have to press one more key along with the startbutton, and its amust. So icnt use that. And what does that command you gave me does? | 06:14 |
| scriptwarlock | spacevoid, how did you check each channel? do you have headphones try each channel | 06:14 |
| dagon | having problems with my iphone being able to connect though scriptwarlock | 06:14 |

| frustro | sjuxax, so you open network tools, change to eth0, click configure, click on auto eth0, click edit, go to ipv4 settings, change method to manual right? not just opening network toos then creating a eth0 correct? | 06:15 |

| pankaj | i am confused please advice | 06:45 |
| pankaj | is that applet necessary or is it dispensable if its causing problems? | 06:45 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, can you tell me did you play with setting for compiz ccsm | 06:45 |
| ddr400 | hi, if i use Backtrack can i test if my WPA password is enough secure? | 06:45 |
| pankaj | yes Zvrk i did | 06:45 |
| obscurant1st | indras: at you will have to get a wired connection to get the drivers i think. | 06:45 |
| pankaj | that must be it | 06:45 |
| pankaj | the compiz settings | 06:45 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurant1st, go to gnome-look.org there are many themes available for your machine | 06:45 |
| pankaj | i had to use compiz to run docky | 06:46 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, then just reset ccsm | 06:46 |
| pankaj | how do i do that zvrk | 06:46 |
| indras | couldnt i just put them on the usb stick i'm booting 10.10 from though | 06:46 |
| JackyAlcine | Help! hard drive problem! I can't format and it's complaining about a failure. | 06:46 |
| scriptwarlock | obscurant1st, as i have said you can customize ubuntu to your likings | 06:46 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: what type of failure? | 06:46 |
| knoxy | @Jacky you have to unmount before you format. Did you try that from disk utility? | 06:46 |
| p_res | JackyAlcine: Can you be more specific with the error you're getting? | 06:46 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, open ccsm and clear your setting to default | 06:46 |
| pankaj | and what about the applet should i delete it or keep it? | 06:47 |
| mrchinosun | what is the ubuntu version for laptops | 06:47 |
| pankaj | i haven't chosen any option yet | 06:47 |
| knoxy | I vote delete it | 06:47 |
| JackyAlcine | Well, the SmartData of my SeaGate Portable is telling me that it's failing soon. | 06:47 |
| mrchinosun | is it netbook or alternative download | 06:47 |
| JackyAlcine | ^^ p_res | 06:47 |
| pankaj | one vote for delete | 06:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | mrchinosun, alternate = desktop with debian text installer | 06:47 |
| pankaj | anyone for keeping the applet :-s | 06:47 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, i personally keep | 06:47 |
| obscurant1st | scriptwarlock: ok thats it i am going back to gnome! :D | 06:47 |
| pankaj | why Zvrk | 06:47 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: you have to tell us which SMART parameters are failing | 06:47 |
| scriptwarlock | mrchinosun, what do you have laptop or netbook | 06:47 |
| p_res | JackyAlcine: It could also be a false positive. | 06:48 |
| pankaj | is it important to keep it? | 06:48 |
| gobbe | ddr400: this is ubuntu-channel, and backtrack issues should be discussed on other channels | 06:48 |
| knoxy | @pankaj I couldn't find it in the list of applets for the panel | 06:48 |
| ddr400 | gobbe: ok, was only a yes/no question btm | 06:48 |
| ddr400 | btw | 06:48 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, because that are my setting for applet | 06:48 |
| pankaj | i will keep it for now and reset the ccsm | 06:48 |
| obscurant1st | scriptwarlock: oops sorry i have an ongoing ftp transfer, ill hv to let it complete before switching to gnome! | 06:49 |
| JackyAlcine | and p_res: And that the sector reallocation count and current pending sector count ddr400 | 06:49 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: do immediately a backup | 06:49 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, that help me but you can do it your way | 06:49 |
| ddr400 | it may fail soon | 06:49 |
| mrchinosun | can i use ubuntu desktop edition for a LAPTOP?????? | 06:50 |
| scriptwarlock | mrchinosun, of course | 06:50 |
| ddr400 | "sector reallocation count" are bad errors | 06:50 |
| mrchinosun | alright | 06:50 |
| obscurant1st | mrchinosun: yeah, i am using it now. | 06:50 |
| knoxy | @pankaj you might want to try setting the graphics to none real quick and see if it pops back. Right click on the desktop > Change Desktop bg...> Visual effects | 06:50 |
| JackyAlcine | O.o ddr400 is there anyway to bring it down or fix it? | 06:50 |
| p_res | JackyAlcine: I get the same message on one of my drives and I know it to be a false positive. | 06:50 |
| pankaj | aha | 06:50 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: i guess no, they are hardware problems on the drive, if you have the warranty do a RMA now | 06:50 |
| pankaj | i did change my desktop background recently | 06:50 |
| pankaj | i still can't use panel settings | 06:51 |
| pankaj | even though the panel is back | 06:51 |
| gobbe | mrchinosun: yes you can | 06:51 |
| indras | obscurant1st: i'm running 10.10 from usb boot, couldnt i just add the drivers on to that and install them | 06:51 |
| gobbe | mrchinosun: it's just difference of GUI | 06:51 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: >_< This is horrible. p_res, should I just ignore it for now while I wait for the warranty shipment? | 06:51 |
| p_res | JackyAlcine: But your error may be genuine if you're unable to format the drive. | 06:52 |
| obscurant1st | indras: yeah could do that. But for that you will need the model number of your crad | 06:52 |
| knoxy | #pankaj what "settings" like right clicking? | 06:52 |
| obscurant1st | card* | 06:52 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, it stack for me help rebooting | 06:52 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: i quote p_res answer | 06:52 |
| ddr400 | try however to do a fsck before, and then a full format | 06:52 |
| Zvrk | pankaj, sometimes few times | 06:52 |
| ddr400 | maybe could work, but that is NO reliable | 06:52 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: fsck returns an bad magic number error p_res how about zero-bitting? | 06:52 |
| obscurant1st | indras: something like lspci will give you the name with model number of the wifi card | 06:53 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: you have to use Seagate's own software to do that | 06:53 |
| p_res | JackyAlcine: If it formats, it's probably false. If it does not format, then it's probably genuine/ | 06:53 |
| ddr400 | look for it on web | 06:53 |
| p_res | . | 06:53 |
| pankaj | knoxy the settings-panel option | 06:53 |
| pankaj | the gui for panel settings it never runs | 06:53 |
| indras | obscurant1st: its a bcm4312, and that seems to be the big problem one | 06:53 |
| pankaj | anymore | 06:53 |
| ddr400 | p_res: in 95% of cases you can format anyway, maybe this is a electric failure or other | 06:54 |
| p_res | ddr400: Fair enough. | 06:54 |
| bullgard4 | What should I do if my 'make' command does not terminate? I did http.//wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Acer_Hotkeys. Why does this command not terminate normally showing a normal prompt ? | 06:54 |
| knoxy | pankaj: Settings panel? You mean properties? or "Applications Places..." | 06:55 |
| pankaj | application places | 06:55 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: have you understood our last answers? | 06:55 |
| p_res | JackyAlcine: I always recommend a drive surface scan using the drive manufacturers own software. I personally use UBCD. | 06:55 |
| ddr400 | quote that | 06:55 |
| JackyAlcine | p_res: Seagate doesn't have Linux software, and ddr400, yup i did. | 06:55 |

| andycc | obscurant1st, possibly because it includes nonfree stuff | 07:21 |
| Connor | Hey folks..I'm having a issue with my system.. I'm running a dual screen setup.. with a ATI Card.. it works.. however.. once in a while the primary screen will suddenly get laggy, and scrolling and moving windows is choppy.. restarting X fixes it.. but, it happens way to often.. anyone have any idea what's going on? | 07:21 |
| rww | obscurant1st: because it doesn't use Ubuntu's repositories and makes changes that we don't support. Same reason Ubuntu is not a supported derivative in #debian. | 07:21 |
| pankaj | communication is the key here :-b | 07:21 |
| obscurant1st | andycc: it includes non free stuff, oh i see, i never knew that! | 07:21 |

| bazhang | pankaj, stop that | 07:22 |
| obscurant1st | rww: oh isee. but i think ubuntu people should include some more applications like vlc in their dvd version | 07:22 |
| rww | Ubuntu also includes non-free stuff. See the entire 'restricted' repository and non-free kernel firmware. | 07:22 |
| * pankaj agrees with obscurant1st | 07:22 | |
| Froodle | shcherbak, Perfect, thank you! | 07:22 |
| obscurant1st | rww: oh, ok. =| | 07:22 |
| andycc | obscurant1st, vlc is patent-encumbered, so redistributing it freely is illegal in the US | 07:22 |
| obscurant1st | andycc: oh, thats bad! real bad! | 07:23 |

| watermains | I have an issue with my nvidia card: I finally got the current driver from the ppa and got it activated, however 640x480 was the max resolution that the nvidia configuration gui would give me in the option list. I manually set it to 1024x768 by selecting "advanced." It set my resolution to that, but the pixels are the same size, I have to pan around my screen. oh yeah, I guess I set that in panning.... I can't get the | 07:25 |
| watermains | pixel depth right! | 07:25 |
| weez | can anyone recommend a good c++ ide in ubuntu? | 07:26 |
| watermains | weez, I like code::blocks and netbeans. but coding in gedit and compiling on the command line can be pretty nice, too | 07:26 |
| andycc | weez: eclipse would be the universally recommended ide, then you have netbeans, code::blocks, anjuta... oh, and there's nokia's qt creator | 07:27 |
| dannyLopez | ToT I can't install the vlc | 07:27 |
| frustro_ | watermains, I had the same issue quite a few times. my solution was to break X completly, get to a txt console when you try to login (like runlevel 3 style) then I used apt-get remove for the nvidia and then apt-get install nvidia to reinstall, reboot and it worked for me. | 07:27 |
| obscurant1st | andycc: Qr creator, i love it!, its one of the best i have ever used! | 07:27 |

| watermains | frustro_ I think that will get me back to 640x480 res, but then how do I get _actual_ higher resolutions, or might that be solved when I plug in an LCD? currently i'm on a CRT | 07:29 |
| obscurant1st | dannyLopez: sudo apt-get update | 07:29 |
| weez | watermains, does code::blocks have a good debugger? Woud it b easy to use the code::blocks debugger and compile on the command line? | 07:29 |
| shcherbak | dannyLopez: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install vlc | 07:29 |
| obscurant1st | ^ | 07:29 |
| shcherbak | ^^ | 07:29 |
| frustro_ | watermains, I have a 32" lcd @1360x768. on fresh install I was stuck at 1024x768 max. I did the panning thing too. after mucking with xorg.conf I broke x so bad it couldn't start the x server. after a little trial and error, I deleted the xorg.conf, removed the nvidia driver, reinstalled and rebooted. i had my higer resolution. | 07:31 |
| watermains | weez, cb uses the same debugger (gdb) as most other tools in linux, including command line compile | 07:31 |
| watermains | weez to answer your second q, if you compile on the command line, you will get your debugging statements in the same terminal, not in any other program. nothing wrong with that, though | 07:32 |
| watermains | weez edit: except if you get those debugging statements in the terminal, you won't see the lines highlighted in your IDE | 07:33 |
| weez | watermains, I was hoping to step through the program and see the variables as I step | 07:33 |
| frustro_ | watermains, maybe someone else here can assist with killall for X so that you are forced to CLI, then mv the xorg.conf to .old and then remove and reinstall the nvidia driver. | 07:33 |
| sam-_- | frustro_, you can always go to cli and i have a feeling watermains knows how | 07:34 |
| watermains | frustro_ well I can go back to the opensource driver once I uninstall nvidia completely | 07:34 |
| watermains | my issue is that after a couple install / reinstall sessions I still don't get higher resolutions on my crt. I'm suspecting I won't until I plug in an LCD | 07:35 |
| sam-_- | watermains, or edit xorg.conf manually | 07:36 |
| frustro_ | sam-_-, I moved to ubuntu from centos 5.3, so I was able to init 3 from terminal and go that route. I asked once here and I was told that's not possible. no one at that time was able to direct me as init was no longer used, so i gave up. open to suggestions or hints though. google is my friend. | 07:36 |

| === kiran is now known as Guest76395 | ||
| Guest76395 | hello | 07:37 |
| watermains | well I've already edited xorg.conf manually to end the panning and go back to 640x480. Just haven't restarted x server because it would kick me out of IRC. I don't know how to edit xorg.conf to really get good results | 07:37 |
| sam-_- | frustro_, you can select your runlevel even before booting | 07:37 |
| Diverdude | Is it possible to enable Wake On Lan in Ubuntu 10.10 server ed. ? | 07:37 |
| sam-_- | frustro_, also sudo stop gdm and there you have your runlevel 3 | 07:38 |
| frustro_ | sam-_-, perfect, now just one more.... ubuntu doesn't use init anymore it uses (this is the part where the init replacement is named) | 07:38 |

| obscurant1st | i have a doubt, do tor does the encryption before forwarding the packets to another tor user? | 07:46 |
| Diverdude | so is it apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 07:46 |
| rww | obscurant1st: yes | 07:46 |
| obscurant1st | rww: thanks! | 07:46 |
| Guest76395 | Diverdude:apt-get update | 07:46 |
| rww | obscurant1st: however, the exit node can see what the receiving server can see | 07:46 |
| watermains | Diverdude dist-upgrade will take you from one release to another, ie 10.04 to 10.10 | 07:47 |
| bazhang | watermains, no | 07:47 |
| paul__ | does anyone know a command line command that logs me out of an x windows session? | 07:47 |
| rww | obscurant1st: so you should use an encrypted protocol anyway. | 07:47 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | watermains | 07:47 |
| ubottu | watermains: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 07:47 |
| Diverdude | watermains, i dont want that...i only want to upgrade packets | 07:47 |
| obscurant1st | rww: so login into blogs i mean wordpress blog which dont use https, is not secure if i use tor? | 07:47 |
| bazhang | Diverdude, it does not do that | 07:47 |
| watermains | bazhang oh thanks | 07:48 |
| rww | obscurant1st: correct | 07:48 |
| Guest76395 | Diverdude;than try sudo apt-get dist upgrade | 07:48 |
| obscurant1st | rww: ok, thanks | 07:48 |
| Diverdude | Guest19189, yep its perfect. thx | 07:48 |
| rww | obscurant1st: TOR connections go like this: you -> (tor node -> tor node -> ... -> tor node) -> tor exit node -> server. TOR itself stops people within the (brackets) from seeing what you're communicating. | 07:48 |

| fubada | and i just decided to use linux gui for my dailylaptop driver | 08:11 |
| fubada | thanks | 08:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | sam-_-, 11.04 will have Unity with Compiz (instead of current mutter) AND there will be a 2d version | 08:11 |
| r00t4rd3d | if you dont use gui nvidia drivers are pointless | 08:11 |
| IXTLA | hello everybody | 08:11 |
| ddr400 | fubada: k, just notice that on paypal it's very short, eg. comparing to ebay's one | 08:12 |
| sam-_- | ZykoticK9, ok. thx. | 08:12 |
| r00t4rd3d | fubada, why you need 3d acceleration , etc with no gui or x ? | 08:12 |
| blankname1 | anyone have solution for missing menus in wxpython apps? similar to this; http://bugs.playonlinux.com/en/issue-59.html | 08:12 |
| ddr400 | blankname1: so it's a known issue? | 08:13 |
| blankname1 | havent found it anywhere but there | 08:13 |
| ddr400 | it's a wine application? | 08:14 |
| jayd3e | where is the mime.c file at? | 08:14 |
| shifnix | ok, i am completely lost on how apache has been implemented in ubuntu 9= | 08:14 |
| andycc | ddr400, no, it's apparently a wxpython app | 08:14 |
| Sonne | jayd3e, you might want to put a little more details there | 08:14 |
| blankname1 | ther is a bt | 08:15 |
| ddr400 | blankname1: you need to explain better | 08:15 |
| blankname1 | ddr400: uhm, i think the bug report at pol explains it well enough. menus are not shown in wxpython apps | 08:15 |
| jayd3e | Sonne: isn't it in a specific location in ubuntu? | 08:16 |
| blankname1 | ddr400: also here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/682478 | 08:16 |
| Sonne | jayd3e, that looks like a source code... | 08:16 |
| jayd3e | it is | 08:16 |
| ddr400 | sry i did not read it | 08:16 |
| Sonne | what do you need it for? | 08:17 |
| jayd3e | I just don't know where at in src | 08:17 |
| ddr400 | you mean like file/modify etc menus? | 08:17 |
| Sonne | what are you trying to do? | 08:17 |
| blankname1 | ddr400: yes, but the ubuntu bts had a fix | 08:17 |
| blankname1 | which seems to work so far.. | 08:17 |
| ddr400 | and if you do that fix what happens different? just nothing? | 08:18 |
| blankname1 | ddr400: the menus show up again | 08:19 |
| fubada | after installing gnome-desktop-environemnt meta package, can I reboot and expect xinit to happen | 08:19 |
| fubada | ? | 08:19 |
| ddr400 | sry, but why do you ask for a solution then? i dont get it :-) | 08:19 |
| blankname1 | ddr400: i *just* found the ubuntu ticket :) | 08:19 |
| jayd3e | Sonne: I'm trying to get ushare to support .mkv files, by adding it in mime.c | 08:19 |
| jayd3e | Sonne: it might not work, but just giving it a try | 08:20 |
| ddr400 | that's quite lol, isn't it? | 08:20 |
| Sonne | jayd3e, i believe the informations you're taking your plan from refers to modifying that file inside the source code of the app that isn't working as expected | 08:20 |
| Sonne | which would mean downloading the sources, modifying them, recompiling and overwriting the version you have installed | 08:21 |
| Sonne | it's not exactly an easy task, i'd ask for help from a slightly more knowledged friend if i was you :) | 08:21 |
| jayd3e | Sonne: that makes more sense, true | 08:21 |
| ddr400 | anyone is using 11.x version stably here? just to know if it's quite good or not | 08:23 |

| ddr400 | ok, tkx | 08:24 |
| majid_ | Hi. I cannot download google chrome web browser through google.com. I want a mirror for the latest stable release of chrome for ubuntu 32 bit. Who can help me? | 08:24 |
| beginer | bye | 08:24 |
| bazhang | majid_, get chromium-browser , its in the repos | 08:24 |
| ddr400 | majid_: maybe you mean chromium? | 08:24 |
| ddr400 | :-) | 08:24 |
| sam-_- | majid_, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 08:24 |
| ddr400 | it's worthy to use chromium instead of Firefox? on windows i dont like it much | 08:25 |
| majid_ | I think the chromium is older than the chrome and chrome is better. Isn't it? | 08:25 |
| sam-_- | ddr400, to each his/her own | 08:25 |
| paul__ | firefox has "dope" plugins | 08:25 |
| andycc | majid: chromium is newer | 08:25 |
| rww | majid_: no | 08:25 |
| bazhang | majid_, no | 08:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | majid_, chrome = google proprietary, chromium = open source development version | 08:26 |
| ddr400 | dope? so no working well? i dont notice that either | 08:26 |
| andycc | majid_, chrome is a stable-er variant of chromium | 08:26 |
| majid_ | Can I install all addons of chrome in chromium? | 08:26 |
| sam-_- | majid_, yes | 08:27 |
| majid_ | Thank you much | 08:27 |
| _Rawr | okay.. if my harddisk has 4 partitions( boot swap root home), and i connect it through usb (using an ide to usb cable) | 08:27 |
| _Rawr | i want to access the home partition | 08:27 |
| _Rawr | how do i mount it? | 08:27 |
| andycc | _Rawr, first use fdisk -l to see the partition layout | 08:28 |
| _Rawr | okay, i got the partition layout already | 08:28 |
| sam-_- | _Rawr, doesn't it show up in nautilus? | 08:28 |
| _Rawr | sorry i'm not on ubuntu | 08:29 |
| sam-_- | _Rawr, so on which os do you want to mount it? | 08:29 |
| szpreader | hi, can you make transmission start at startup? | 08:29 |
| andycc | _Rawr, then either use mkdir "/mnt/home" and then "mount /dev/sd** /mnt/home" where /dev/sd** is the right partition. | 08:29 |
| akhyariz | _Rawr, you can read the manual: "man mount" | 08:29 |
| _Rawr | when i try to mount it automatically using dolphin i get http://pastie.org/1462775 .. the output of dmesg | tail is below | 08:30 |
| bazhang | szpreader, put it in startup applications | 08:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | szpreader, System / Preferences / Startup Applications - and add an entry | 08:30 |
| sam-_- | szpreader, yes. system -> prefs -> startup apps | 08:30 |
| szpreader | ok, many thanks | 08:30 |
| _Rawr | i tried mounting /dev/sdd4 but it says | 08:30 |
| _Rawr | mount: special device /dev/sdd4 does not exist | 08:30 |
| szpreader | oh, what should I write at the command field? | 08:31 |
| andycc | _Rawr, then it probably doesn't exist. Are you sure it's /dev/sdd*? What distro are you using after all? | 08:31 |
| _Rawr | yea i'm sure. arch | 08:31 |
| _Rawr | at least fdisk -l shows it to be... | 08:32 |
| sam-_- | _Rawr, you do realize that arch is NOT ubuntu right? | 08:32 |
| the_cyber_guy | why am i unable to adjust brightness on my laptop which has intel hd graphics with intel i3 ? | 08:32 |
| andycc | _Rawr, in textmode or are you using some sort of lightweight GUI? | 08:32 |
| bazhang | _Rawr, #archlinux | 08:32 |
| andycc | _Rawr, if you just want to recover stuff you'll be better off using Puppy Linux. | 08:33 |
| ddr400 | the_cyber_guy: do you have the control bar for that? | 08:33 |
| _Rawr | alright sorry for asking, just thought i could get some help here | 08:34 |
| sam-_- | the_cyber_guy, the buttons don't get recognized by ubuntu | 08:34 |
| the_cyber_guy | ddr400: controls on my laptop, fn + brightness | 08:34 |

| sanduz2 | does anyone know of a usb wireless adapter that works with ubuntu? | 08:35 |
| sanduz2 | ive never used one with linux so i dont know if they work automatically or what | 08:35 |
| sam-_- | sanduz2, almost any: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 08:36 |
| brontoeee | i had one that did work automagically sanduz2 | 08:36 |
| ddr400 | sanduz2: many of them work like a charm | 08:36 |
| sanduz2 | nice thanks guys | 08:36 |
| ddr400 | but keep attention to broadcom's and some Intel's | 08:36 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: I tried formatting the system to jfs, and it seemed to work. | 08:37 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: But it hung on the Ubuquity installer. | 08:37 |
| jayd3e | is anyone familiar with ushare? | 08:38 |
| ddr400 | why jfs and not a "simple" ext4? | 08:38 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: It doesn't work with any of the ext* family formats. | 08:38 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: It can format to Minix, FAT16/32, or even swap. | 08:39 |
| ddr400 | you need to use Seagate's provided sw...it's better | 08:39 |
| ddr400 | then you reformat with any linux.. | 08:39 |
| ddr400 | try that | 08:39 |
| === arunce_ is now known as arunce | ||
| ddr400 | dont's use strange filesystems...you wont go anywhere | 08:40 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: I don't have a Windows system to run it on though. Should I try WINE'ing it? | 08:41 |
| andycc | JackyAlcine, if it deals with hardware you probably shouldn't. | 08:41 |
| ddr400 | no, as i told before, you do a bootable DOS/Freedos Usb key with that software on it | 08:41 |
| ddr400 | it's easy | 08:42 |
| JackyAlcine | Would UBCD still work? | 08:43 |
| ddr400 | WINE'ing a format is the worst thing to do.. | 08:44 |
| JackyAlcine | if I made a usb key of UBCD. | 08:44 |
| ddr400 | ok jacky | 08:47 |
| jilem | hello ! | 08:47 |
| JackyAlcine | ddr400: I found something! They have a Seagate recovery system based on FreeDOS! | 08:48 |
| JackyAlcine | I'm definitely making a forum post about this. | 08:48 |
| stiv2k | hi, how do I change to require a password when I log in? currently it logs me in automatically but I still have to enter my password 3 times before I can do things. Ridiculous! | 08:48 |
| illuminaris | Anyone willing to troubleshoot WOW + ATI Radeon 9800 Pro issues with me? | 08:48 |
| illuminaris | Also, is it possible to install windows as a dual boot within Ubuntu or do you have to install windows first? | 08:49 |
| jilem | Will Ubuntu 11.04 have a quickstarter on system tray to load faster the LibreOffice ? Because OpenOffice and LibreOfice latest versions starts very slow on my system ... :( | 08:49 |
| tankie | you can do it having ubuntu installed first | 08:49 |
| soreau | illuminaris: You want xorg-edgers to get gallium | 08:49 |
| Stava | So my computer is making a buzz sound, as if a fan is broken or something (i dont know really). It starts when I login (not when i turn on the computer), so if i log out and in again, the sound will stop for a while. What is that about? Can I troubleshoot it? | 08:50 |
| illuminaris | soreau you're speaking a foreign language, how do i find this stuff? | 08:50 |
| rww | jilem: 11.04 discussion in #ubuntu+1 | 08:50 |
| soreau | illuminaris: Which version of ubuntu are you using? | 08:50 |
| stiv2k | Stava: maybe your CPU fan speed is controlled based on the temperature | 08:51 |
| stiv2k | Stava: and it makes noise at higher speed | 08:51 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: i told you | 08:51 |
| jilem | rww: ok.sorry. | 08:51 |
| illuminaris | soreau I am using Ubuntu 11.04 | 08:51 |
| Stava | stiv2k, its an intel core i3 cpu :o | 08:52 |
| ddr400 | JackyAlcine: try a low level format, could save you hard disk | 08:52 |
| stiv2k | Stava: desktop or laptop | 08:52 |
| soreau | illuminaris: Then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 or #radeon | 08:52 |
| Stava | stiv2k, thing is though, it started yesterday. Laptop | 08:52 |
| mysho | how can i run .sh script with sudo without needing to type password everytime? | 08:52 |
| stiv2k | Stava: yeah i would check for debris in the fan | 08:52 |
| soreau | illuminaris: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? | 08:52 |
| stiv2k | Stava: dust or lint or paper | 08:52 |
| ddr400 | Stava: could be a problem of the fan's bearing | 08:52 |
| Stava | ddr400, Such as dust, lint or paper as stiv2k suggests? | 08:53 |
| illuminaris | soreau OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (R350 4E48) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL DRI2 | 08:53 |
| ddr400 | yeah | 08:53 |
| Stava | alright | 08:53 |
| q_a_z_steve | IdleOne rww I'm just torrenting xubuntu lucid but I am confused. on http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/lucid/release/desktop/ (my reason for asking here) it shows the complete iso as being 681MB, bur the torrent file shows to be 714MB. First where does the disparity come from, and second, are they really producing iso's over 700 and expecting them to burn? | 08:53 |
| stiv2k | hi, how do I change to require a password when I log in? currently it logs me in automatically but I still have to enter my password 3 times before I can do things. Ridiculous! | 08:53 |
| Stava | thanks i'll check it out | 08:53 |
| ddr400 | quite common, just look for a pdf guide to open the pc, like i did | 08:53 |
| ddr400 | with images.. | 08:53 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, into the keyring i guess? | 08:54 |
| rww | q_a_z_steve: your torrent file is probably using 1000-based units, not 1024-based units. Xubuntu 10.04 ISO files fit on a CD. | 08:54 |
| soreau | illuminaris: You don't have gallium. Try installing libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental (and re-logging in) | 08:54 |
| stiv2k | sam-_-: yes the keyring thing bombards me after i log in | 08:54 |
| rww | q_a_z_steve: torrent client ** | 08:54 |
| illuminaris | soreau so sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental ?? what will this do? | 08:55 |
| q_a_z_steve | transmission... | 08:55 |
| q_a_z_steve | really you think that's it? I'm on a mac... rww | 08:55 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, seahorse right click on "passwords: login" change password. then set a new blank password | 08:55 |
| soreau | illuminaris: Hopefully it will install the gallium driver which will allow for opengl 2.1 | 08:56 |
| rww | q_a_z_steve: For obvious reasons, I know little about how Transmission works on a Mac, but I think that's the reason, yes. | 08:56 |
| illuminaris | soreau so that should fix the problem or there are more steps? | 08:56 |
| stiv2k | sam-_-: blank password? I dont want a blank password i want to manually log in instead of automatically be logged in | 08:57 |
| soreau | illusionz: First you want to get gallium working. If installing the experimental package doesn't work, you may need to install xorg-edgers repo first | 08:57 |
| q_a_z_steve | rww ok, well I suppose getting one and md5 summing against the other won't hurt anything. I know, torrents check themselves. | 08:57 |
| rww | q_a_z_steve: indeed | 08:57 |
| digifor | I am trying to put music on my ipod nano and I get "Error opening file /media/blabla.mp3: Read-only file system" | 08:58 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, it's only a blank password for the keyring. doesn't affect your login password | 08:59 |
| q_a_z_steve | will report back... :) | 08:59 |

| brown_boar | hey what is that technology my computer needs to run ubuntu and windows side by side? | 08:59 |
| brown_boar | my computer is from 2010 i believe | 08:59 |
| stiv2k | sam-_-: is that gonna do what i want it to? | 09:00 |
| illuminaris | soreau i just installed what you told me to, restart and log back in? | 09:00 |
| brown_boar | parallel computing is ubuntu ready right? | 09:00 |
| zfe | brown_boar, just install both | 09:00 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, not sure what you want :-) | 09:00 |
| zfe | and use GRUB | 09:00 |
| soreau | illuminaris: Yea just log out and back in then show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer' again | 09:00 |
| stiv2k | sam-_-: like i said, i want to manually log in, not be automatically logged in | 09:00 |
| stiv2k | sam-_-: in the installer i chose to log me in automatically and i learned that i dont like it | 09:01 |
| brown_boar | you don't understand. i want to flip between windows and ubuntu | 09:01 |
| brown_boar | my computer has good specs | 09:01 |

| sam-_- | stiv2k, then yes. it will do what you want. | 09:02 |
| ddr400 | brown_boar: simply try Virtualbox, easy and effective | 09:02 |
| brown_boar | i have used virtualbox. it is simply not going to support my host's video card | 09:02 |
| brown_boar | i won't ever run a good game in it | 09:02 |

| stiv2k | sam-_-: i dont understand how setting a blank keyring password is going to do that... not sure what youre talking about | 09:03 |
| rww | stiv2k: System -> Administration -> Login Somethingorother, change it to not be set to automatically log you in. | 09:04 |
| kerozene | brown_boar: so virtualise your non-gaming os | 09:04 |
| stiv2k | rww: its already set there it seems | 09:04 |
| stiv2k | i just looked there | 09:04 |
| brown_boar | i like to use my full hardware for both | 09:04 |
| kerozene | tricky business. HM | 09:04 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, as i said it's not going to change your login password | 09:04 |
| rww | brown_boar: Your request is not possible. | 09:04 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, this will stay the same | 09:05 |
| rww | stiv2k: and it's still autologging you in? | 09:05 |
| ddr400 | brown_boar: just check with a live cd if your hardware is well supported in linux first | 09:06 |
| stiv2k | rww: it says Password: asked on login | 09:06 |
| stiv2k | rww: "dont ask for password on login" is not checked | 09:06 |
| brown_boar | ok you know that cube flipper | 09:06 |
| stiv2k | let me log out and log in and see | 09:07 |
| brown_boar | why not have ubuntu on this face and then i flip to windows. | 09:07 |
| brown_boar | that would be so nice | 09:07 |
| stiv2k | brown_boar: its not possible, without running in a vm | 09:07 |
| rww | stiv2k: Umm. Which desktop manager are you using? GNOME's? KDE's? Some other one? | 09:07 |
| illuminaris | soreau please stand by, still upgrading.... | 09:07 |

| rww | because last time I looked at GDM's configuration window, it looked like http://i26.tinypic.com/112ad8i.jpg, which has different names. | 09:08 |
| sam-_- | brown_boar, use windows as your host if you don't need the graphics power in linux. then you will be fine | 09:08 |
| brown_boar | but windows isn't as stable | 09:08 |
| sam-_- | brown_boar, says who? | 09:08 |
| ddr400 | brown_boar: so your pc has some problems then | 09:08 |
| brown_boar | i unplugged a webcam and got a blue screen | 09:09 |
| brown_boar | my pc has never had problems with ubuntu | 09:09 |
| soreau | illuminaris: If it installs a kernel (which is likely), reboot the machine after it's finished | 09:09 |
| Arch1mede | anyone here use virtualbox and ubuntu? I am looking for some directions to get the display to show the visual effects..is it even possible? | 09:09 |
| kerozene | it mustn't have been a microsoft webcam then | 09:09 |
| ddr400 | try a different driver | 09:09 |
| sam-_- | brown_boar, not a windows problem. but a problem with the webcam driver | 09:09 |
| ddr400 | quote that | 09:09 |
| brown_boar | ok i guess i will program the driver | 09:09 |
| OceanEleven | Hhow can i create shortcut for calculator in ubuntu desktop version ? | 09:10 |
| stiv2k | rww: i just rebooted, and yes, it logged me in automatically, and i had to enter my keyring password twice (annoying) | 09:10 |
| sam-_- | OceanEleven, keyboard shortcut? | 09:10 |
| stiv2k | rww: im using ubuntu netbook remix | 09:10 |
| OceanEleven | yes | 09:10 |
| rww | stiv2k: open a terminal and run "ps -A | grep dm". do you get output related to kdm, gdm, or something else? | 09:11 |
| OceanEleven | i mean i know about preference -> keyboard shortcuts but i dont command | 09:11 |
| stiv2k | rww: gdm | 09:11 |
| OceanEleven | sam-_-: ? | 09:11 |
| sam-_- | OceanEleven, it's under desktop -> "launch calculator" | 09:11 |
| rww | odd. there goes my smart idea, then >.> | 09:11 |
| stiv2k | rww: damn | 09:11 |
| sam-_- | OceanEleven, the command would be gcalctool | 09:12 |
| stiv2k | is it smart or stupid to disable swap on my netbook? | 09:12 |
| OceanEleven | sam-_-: thankyou , found it :) | 09:12 |
| OceanEleven | thanks a lot | 09:12 |
| sam-_- | stiv2k, how about: neither | 09:13 |

| rww | tankie: if you follow all the steps on the Maverick upgrade page, it should offer you an upgrade. | 09:39 |
| tankie | alright cheers | 09:39 |
| moto_ | Help !! I am a newbie to ubuntu. Ubuntu not booting. The problem started after I uninstaled Xorg. How do i reinstall it? | 09:40 |
| Onryo | lol | 09:40 |
| rww | Onryo: depends on your definition of FOSS. Under some, there's non-free firmware in Ubuntu's kernel packages. If you enable and use the restricted or multiverse repositories, those both contain non-free software. | 09:40 |
| moto_ | I cant acces the terminal too.. | 09:40 |
| moto_ | Only windows booting | 09:41 |
| tsimpson | Onryo: nothing in the stock kernel, but I'm not sure if anything is added by the kernel team. try asking in #ubuntu-kernel | 09:41 |
| Onryo | rww what I mean is ALL the code in the kernel and user land ie Metacity Open | 09:42 |
| rww | The stock Linux kernel contains non-Free firmware. | 09:42 |
| Onryo | tsimpson thx I have a talk with them | 09:42 |
| stalane | tankie, perfect thanks so much | 09:42 |
| rww | Onryo: As far as I know, a default install of Ubuntu Desktop that doesn't have the checkbox for installing non-free software clicked during install has no non-free software with the possible exception of aforementioned firmware. | 09:43 |

| tjc_ | audacity can i find it in ubuntu software? | 10:06 |

| Sheepherd | top left u got that mail symbol where u can choose to open empathy or evolution. but i dont use evolution but thunderbird. is it possible to replace that shortcut? | 10:10 |
| Sheepherd | top right i mean :) | 10:11 |
| amro | ok, new question, how do I purge all java from my system? everytime I try to remove one package, it forces me to install another | 10:11 |
| Onryo | ChrisDruif yeah that is what I thought. Would have thought that the Physical Address Extension kernel would not be needed for only 2 Gig RAM. But yeah it is a 32 bit CPU. Really no big deal but I was wondering. Could it be because I am running mdadm for my RAID? | 10:12 |
| llutz | amro: sounds like some other packages depend on java, try to identify them and remove them too | 10:12 |
| amro | llutz: I'm trying, but it seems as though they depend on some sort of pseudo package? how can I identify them? | 10:12 |
| llutz | amro: "aptitude why java" | 10:12 |
| amro | E: No package named "java" exists. | 10:13 |
| llutz | amro: or any other packagename for "java" | 10:13 |

| HowardTheDuck | Dr_Willis, so there actually are 2 cubes? | 10:14 |
| HowardTheDuck | interesting | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | HowardTheDuck: i forget how iut worked.. badly i recall.. i find the cube pointless in the first lace | 10:15 |

| HowardTheDuck | the cube is fun | 10:15 |
| edified | Sheepherd: Ok, give me a second, I'll try to see what I can find out about that | 10:15 |

| Onryo | ChrisDruif Its really no big deal. Maybe they are just thinking ahead if I want to drop in more RAM later. | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | HowardTheDuck: it gets old fast.. and ads very little to what i 'need' an OS to do. | 10:16 |

| edified | Sheepherd_ Very nice. Well ... as for autostarting minimized try to Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and click the "Add" button. | 10:43 |
| Mors | Sheepherd_, | 10:43 |
| edified | Sheepherd_ then type in : thunderbird | 10:44 |

| sacarlson | Krish_err_34: I'm not sure but my dvd is pluged into my ide or sata interface and is seen much the same as a disk, if you disable that you may disable all your disks | 10:54 |

| Krish_err_34 | @sacarlson : it says Buffer I/O error on device sda5, logical block 28279025 | 10:56 |
| urupica | you have to include it into your repository list | 10:57 |
| sacarlson | Krish_err_34: do you make sure there is no disk in the drive or is that not an aption? | 10:57 |
| edified | pr3d4tor : Im not familiar with the deb command. What did it do in Debian? | 10:58 |
| sacarlson | Krish_err_34: oh sda5 is that even the dvd ? I don't think so | 10:58 |
| pr3d4t0r | urupica: I'm looking at the instructions from a vendor, indicating that it's a Debian command. | 10:58 |
| Krish_err_34 | @sacarlson : I just unplugged the cord that connects the motherboard to the dvd drive ..after doing it ..I am experiencing this lag | 10:58 |
| pr3d4t0r | urupica: One sec - let me grab the URL for their instructions. | 10:59 |
| brontoeee | pr3d4t0r, thats an indication of the repo i think | 10:59 |
| brontoeee | not a command | 10:59 |

| pr3d4t0r | urupica: Yeah, understood. Thanks! | 11:00 |
| sacarlson | Krish_err_34: well I would look at fdisk -l and /etc/fstab and see if you have a disk that you try to mount that is no longer present | 11:00 |
| ChrisDruif | edified: I believe that "deb http://something/somewhere package-src contrib" is part of the sources list :) | 11:00 |

| milen8204 | blitzer32, What have to do to chose one | 11:09 |
| sacarlson | Krish_err_34: well all the easier to see with the command mount | 11:09 |
| blitzer32 | it should be application thats what worked for me | 11:09 |
| blitzer32 | all you need is application and in the command section "sudo nautilus" without quotes | 11:10 |
| blitzer32 | oh and a name | 11:10 |
| milen8204 | it is alplication to me\ | 11:10 |

| milen8204 | the launcher appeared but doesnt work | 11:11 |
| Krish_err_34 | @sacarlson : I always face some kind of problems when I install ubuntu using WUBI :( .. so I think its best to do a install by using ext4 instead of that ntfs | 11:11 |
| milen8204 | i will chose application in terminal | 11:11 |
| sacarlson | Krish_err_34: oh yes I don't support wubi | 11:12 |
| blitzer32 | no its application | 11:12 |
| Windowed | hello all I just installed xubuntu on an old box, everythig seemed to be ok till I rebooted after a system request to do it. After that my screen resolution looks way bigger than the screen size ..HELP | 11:12 |

| milen8204 | hah it works that way when i chouse an application in terminal | 11:13 |
| milen8204 | blitzer32, thanks :D | 11:13 |
| blitzer32 | no problem but it should work the other way too | 11:13 |

| Krish_err_34 | @sacarlson : thanks for your time mate..I think I will do a reinstall , this time I wont use wubi .. | 11:14 |

| ChrisDruif | Dr_Willis: The idea was good (trying Ubuntu inside (familiar) Windows) however there are so much complications that it deters more people then convincing | 11:17 |
| blitzer32 | dr.willis is there a way to reinstall the sound drivers on ubuntu | 11:17 |
| inashdeen | hi, anyone knows how to configure an sip phone? | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | blitzer32: reinstall the alsa packages i guess. purge/reinstall them. | 11:18 |
| ChrisDruif | Dr_Willis: And the community doesn't seem to support it (everyone I've heard here about Wubi is against it :P) | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ChrisDruif: i keep hopeng it wll get remoived.. | 11:18 |
| Windowed | my xserver is running but all I see is the wallpaper.. no icons, menus.. nothing :( the creen is bigger than the availablle screen space | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ChrisDruif: i perfer virtualbox, or that andlinux variant. | 11:18 |
| frustro_ | ChrisDruif, thanks! bye! | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Windowed: sounds like the desktop didsne tload and the x config is messed up. | 11:19 |
| ChrisDruif | Which alternative do you mean Dr_Willis? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ChrisDruif: virtualbox, andlinux (por was it anlinux, 32bit only) | 11:19 |
| Windowed | any idea how to solve the problem Dr_willis? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Windowed: you could exit to the console, and run 'startx' and look for error messages, on the console after X starts. | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Windowed: alternatively, try making a new user, see if it workls for them. if Not that points to some system config issue/. | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Windowed: if it does work for a new user - that implies its a user config file issue | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Windowed: has it ever worked? | 11:21 |
| Windowed | when i try to do that it says the xserver is already working | 11:21 |
| aurax | can anyone assist with xorg configuration? it seems that ubuntu's installation doesn't add vital information to xorg.conf. is there a way to automate it? | 11:21 |
| Windowed | it has worked once at the end of the install | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Windowed: stop the gdm/xdm/kdm/whateverdm service xubunut is using | 11:21 |
| Nobody | forceflow: it doesnt work | 11:21 |
| Windowed | then it asked to reboot and that is when the problem startedù | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo service gdm stop | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | but i dont know if xubuntu uses gdm or what it uses | 11:22 |
| FireStorm | d | 11:22 |
| ChrisDruif | Alright, I didn't know about andLinux. However, I would even suggest dual-booting above Wubi :P | 11:22 |
| Windowed | well.. i did that and found myself on a black window | 11:22 |
| Windowed | but i can't do anything... | 11:23 |
| Windowed | no prompt | 11:23 |
| Nobody | anyone know how to use scp ? | 11:23 |
| sacarlson | aurax: there is a way to create a xorg config file and then edit it to change things, but what device is it you want to change? | 11:23 |
| aurax | sacarlson: everything, the file is 8 lines of default settings... | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ChrisDruif: dual booting is not always an option.. if it was then thee no need for wubi ;) | 11:24 |
| aurax | dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver drops me back to shell... | 11:24 |
| Windowed | Dr-willis is there a way to boot in safe mode? | 11:24 |
| sacarlson | aurax: at default there is no config so you or something must have created it | 11:24 |
| aurax | hmm, is there a way to automatically configure it with hardware detection of some kind? | 11:25 |
| sacarlson | aurax: that what it does now be default if no config is present, you can create that file and modify it if needed | 11:25 |

| zombie-robot | is it possible to remote desktop into a different user in the background? | 11:27 |
| FireStorm89 | join #freenode | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | zombie-robot: with vnc and frenx - you can. You do NOT always have to use the 'currently visible desktop' | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | freenx :) | 11:28 |
| ChrisDruif | FireStorm89: It's /join #freenode ....but before the "/" no space :) | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | install a vncserver , ssh in, start vncserver, connect with a vnc client to the hidden desktop | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !vnc | 11:29 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 11:29 |

| Dr_Willis | zombie-robot: or you can set it up wher eyou just ssh in and run whatever app you want to appesar locally | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | zombie-robot: what part? vncservers are in the package manager listings.. | 11:36 |
| earwigs | zombie-robot: you mean you want to connect to the same computer but under a different user profile? | 11:36 |

| Idol_Mind | FireStorm89, I would suggest looking at working source code and trying to understand how/why they used certain techniques. | 11:42 |
| Idol_Mind | FireStorm89, Then research from there | 11:42 |

| Idol_Mind | Are the newer AMD video cards compatible with Ubuntu (The 5700+ series)? | 11:44 |
| Idol_Mind | FireStorm89, Aside from books, classes, and programming forums... I'm not sure. Depends on your learning style. | 11:44 |
| earwigs | FireStorm89: what language are you learning? | 11:44 |
| earwigs | IdleOne: yeah, working out what learning stype works best for you is a good start. | 11:45 |

| FireStorm89 | I'm trying to learn a frame work for php called zend frame work, but the reference manual is very long | 11:45 |
| earwigs | FireStorm89: you could have a look online for some free ebooks. Ive found a large number of fantastic ones for python that accomodate a range of learning styles. | 11:46 |
| Idol_Mind | brown_boar, have you had any issues with OpenGL, Gimp, or Screen Capture software? My wife does a ton of video editing and 3D modelling. | 11:46 |
| brown_boar | Blender 3D worked with no issues. but the beta 2.5+s still crash sometimes last i checked | 11:46 |
| earwigs | IdleOne: she should enjoy blender, i did when i moved over from 3DS | 11:46 |
| brown_boar | Gimp i actually use a genius pen tablet with and can draw | 11:46 |

| coder2 | how to reset root password via single user mode in ubuntu 10.04 lucid???help | 11:48 |
| bazhang | coder2, there should not be a root password | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | coder2: theres no root password by default. if you set one, you can set it to a password via the passwd command | 11:49 |
| coder2 | bazhang: then for a particular user??? | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | coder2: same command passwd | 11:49 |

| Dr_Willis | coder2: you could also edit the grub line and replace 'quiet splash' with 'single' or '1' i think | 11:52 |
| sacarlson | coder2: only if your bios is setup for password, maybe they have password for grub now too? | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | coder2: i tend to rember my passwords. so i rarelyneed to reset them :) | 11:52 |
| livingdaylight | question: used to boot up laptop and wireless would just automatically come 'on' However, now I have to connect to it everytime. Is there a way of automating this as previously? | 11:52 |
| Idol_Mind | brown_boar, VX2250.. who makes that?! | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | live cd and chroot in/edit passwd file or run passwd is also a way | 11:52 |

| brown_boar | according to this my card is classified. | 11:56 |
| brown_boar | i mean access denied | 11:56 |

| sacarlson | kapcom01: but by the sound of it you must of also already had a system that booted from grub? | 11:58 |
| Idol_Mind | ddman, set a hardware breakpoint and step through that way... should go through the stack and kernel | 11:58 |
| kapcom01 | sacarlson, yes i hade before.. | 11:58 |
| ddman | Idol_Mind, i won't be able to see the kernel source for say shmat ? | 11:58 |

| sacarlson | kapcom01: something like: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice | 12:00 |
| shubbar | if i have a running software raid1, can i upgrade it to raid5 without loosing my data? | 12:00 |

| Idol_Mind | ddman, i'm not sure how to trace through the kernel, but I'd start looking into reference guides on the sys calls.. | 12:01 |
| sacarlson | kapcom01: if you change the mbr to anything other than sda then you will need to change bios to boot from there or have a chainloader boot it | 12:02 |

| GrubManiac | hello? | 12:39 |
| GrubManiac | anybody can give me some advice? | 12:39 |
| AbhiJit | GrubManiac, on what? | 12:39 |
| GrubManiac | I'm trying to restore Grub in my PC | 12:39 |
| AbhiJit | !fixgrub | GrubManiac | 12:39 |
| ubottu | GrubManiac: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 12:39 |
| sacarlson | ashesofpain: there might be better ones by now, been a while since I scanned but it also had gps input so you could drive around and record locations | 12:39 |
| ashesofpain | sacarlson, ok.. haha... I don't need something THAT fancy, but I'll search around | 12:40 |
| GrubManiac | thanks ubottu... I'll try | 12:41 |
| kapcom01 | sacarlson, Ah :) sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/logical_vol1 /dev/sda SEEMS to work.. Installation finished. No error reported. | 12:43 |
| kapcom01 | sacarlson, sould i reboot? | 12:44 |
| sacarlson | kapcom01: cool hope it boots | 12:44 |
| sacarlson | kapcom01: ya try it out | 12:44 |
| kapcom01 | sacarlson, ok thank you very much! | 12:44 |

| induz | how can I know all my USB ports are working as one of the prot has some problem in Xp? | 12:54 |
| WaltherFI | Idea: make it possible to pre-order CDs for Natty | 12:54 |
| prabhu_ | i am looking for it because if we use an 64bit os ,it will drain my battery soon than 32bit os | 12:54 |
| HugoGF | prabhu_: The CD is 32 bit, you can install it. | 12:55 |
| prabhu_ | thank you:) | 12:55 |
| HugoGF | WaltherFI: Good idea! | 12:55 |
| HugoGF | prabhu_: No worries. | 12:55 |
| WaltherFI | prabhu_: also, if you have 32bit cpu you can't install 64 | 12:55 |
| HugoGF | Does anyone know anything about gnome shell? | 12:55 |
| prabhu_ | hmmm is it so? | 12:55 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: fire it | 12:55 |
| induz | what r the command to check how many USB i have on Ubuntu? | 12:55 |
| WaltherFI | induz: hwinfo shows everything | 12:56 |
| skorv[droid] | hello from a android irc client | 12:56 |
| HugoGF | WaltherFI: Okay, well I installed Gnome Shell and I run gnome --replace when my computer boots up. | 12:56 |
| WaltherFI | induz: the list is huge, so you want to do something like hwinfo |grep usb | 12:56 |
| HugoGF | WaltherFI: Now, when I close the terminal gnome-shell dies completely and I have to force shutdown. | 12:57 |
| prabhu_ | does anyone know how to learn about the working of linux from scratch? | 12:57 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: because you kill the command | 12:57 |
| induz | do i have to insall hwinfo?? | 12:57 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: do gnome --replace & | 12:57 |
| HugoGF | WaltherFI: And I get errors saying JS ERROR! Unhandled type int32r releasing GArgument. | 12:57 |
| nirazio | The interface should not make a request for an ip over dhcp. So, what is the command to turn of the Network manager in Ubuntu? | 12:57 |
| HugoGF | WaltherFI: Okay? | 12:57 |
| AbhiJit | prabhu_, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ also use slackware and arch | 12:57 |
| WaltherFI | one & means 'background, so you can kill the terminal | 12:57 |
| prabhu_ | thank you | 12:58 |
| WaltherFI | 'background' | 12:58 |
| induz | WaltherFI, do i have to install hwinfo?? | 12:58 |
| HugoGF | WaltherFI: Okay, well the terminal is running so how do I change back to normal gnome from the terminal? | 12:58 |
| WaltherFI | induz: sudo apt-get install hwinfo | 12:58 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: sudo gdm replace or something | 12:59 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: service gdm restart or just gdm --replace | 12:59 |

| Muphrid | lemme see | 13:06 |
| Mike1 | hi! I got a used Dell Latitude D600 and the key “t” is not working with Ubuntu 10.04. I guess it’s a hardware defect, but how can I validate that? | 13:06 |
| mstfsnr | its been two days since i installed ubuntu on my netbook for the first time in my life and i am about to go crazy. i downloaded gobi_loader but forums mention some qcserial, but all they say are things like "install makefile" but how ? anyone familiar with 3g broadband modem firmware installation in ubuntu 10.04, please help me. | 13:06 |
| cdbs | Mike1: Did you try pressing the same key on other OSes? | 13:07 |
| AbhiJit | mstfsnr, what is gobi_loader and what is that you actually want to do? | 13:07 |
| damex | Mike1: there are utility "xev" | 13:07 |

| xlite | sry | 13:08 |
| mstfsnr | as to the forums, gobi_loader is a firmware installer for internal mobile broadband modems | 13:08 |
| Mike1 | cdbs: no other OSes available (except some linux distros ;) ) | 13:08 |
| Mike1 | damex: allready tried, no reaction either | 13:08 |
| cdbs | Mike1: hmm, then, I can't think of any way, ask the others | 13:08 |
| Mike1 | sometimes the key works when sliding over the whole keyboard row quickly | 13:09 |
| Muphrid | maybe its an alsa issue? | 13:09 |
| mstfsnr | abhijit, what i am trying to do is, trying to get my internal 3g modem to work under ubuntu 10.04 | 13:09 |

| jetscreamer | and what's the savedefault equiv in grub2, or grub-pc the package seems to be named | 13:34 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, thats not a good idea with a kernel though | 13:34 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: I need to keep the compiled-in Linux kernel module. Otherwise I will loose it and need to compile again. This I would like to prevent. | 13:35 |
| crawler | dezine, just wondering how it went with awn and/or compiz. did you get the fix you needed? | 13:35 |
| jetscreamer | lose? just add to grub menu boot when wanted | 13:35 |

| bazhang | grumete, always have backups, just in case | 13:37 |
| jetscreamer | chmod +x maybe | 13:37 |
| bullgard4 | jetscreamer: I noted your speech well. But this does not help against loosing this particular module. | 13:37 |

| Aruzsi | Hi, Where is the Intrepid repo? I didn't find. us and hu gave me: 404 Not found. :-( | 14:26 |
| Oer | !intrepid | 14:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 14:27 |
| oCean | Aruzsi: 810 is eol | 14:27 |
| Oer | Aruzi it is done. | 14:27 |
| Aruzsi | Oer: So was it removed? | 14:28 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: yep | 14:28 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: you need to upgrade | 14:28 |
| the_dark_warrio | spydon: no success either =P | 14:28 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: :-( | 14:28 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: Is there any other solution? I can't upgrade. | 14:29 |
| harjot | Hi guys, just wondering, on an older laptop with about 512mb of ram, would ubuntu 8.04 run faster or ubuntu 10.04 or whatever the latest release is? Because with kubuntu theres too many graphical effects for a old lappy | 14:29 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: I just wanted NAGIOS NRPE package. | 14:30 |
| Oer | Aruzsi, maybe you can change the mirror to http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu/intrepid/ | 14:30 |
| djszapi | arrow buttons do not work in finch, any idea/hint ? | 14:30 |
| Oer | Aruzsi, sorry that url is incorrect | 14:30 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: well. it's out of support, you can compile it if you want but you should upgrade it, you cannot even get security updates anymore | 14:30 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: so you shouldn't use that kind of server anywhere | 14:30 |
| oCean | Oer: that's probably a repo for one specific package | 14:30 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: It is in production env. | 14:31 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: It is working like a charm. | 14:31 |
| Oer | oCean, yes, found that without looking carefully :( | 14:31 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: you shouldnt run old os in production, that's huge security risk | 14:31 |
| djszapi | every other buttons work perfectly, but no arrows | 14:32 |
| djszapi | kinda weird. | 14:32 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: It is an internal server. | 14:32 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: It isn't on the Net. | 14:32 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: still.... | 14:33 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: We are using SuSE 7.3 in these day because the app not too portable on newer OSes. | 14:33 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: It won't. | 14:33 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: so your only option is either to try find out debs from somewhere or just compile it yourself | 14:33 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: but both ones are bad, since you are running unsupported os | 14:34 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: Yes, you're right but I have to use those OSes. | 14:34 |
| gobbe | Aruzsi: well then you don't have many options | 14:35 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: I understand. I'm very sad. :-( | 14:35 |
| Aruzsi | gobbe: I thought I found the last packages on the net. It is just 1 year "old" (EOL) | 14:36 |

| ahmetalpbalkan | can you tell it please? | 14:45 |

| Galvatron | General options > Desktop size | 14:48 |
| ahmetalpbalkan | hmm okay lets do it 2x2 | 14:49 |
| Galvatron | You must set horizontal to 4 and vertical to 1 | 14:49 |

| ahmetalpbalkan | Galvatron: did it and number of desktops is still disabled to 1 | 14:49 |
| Galvatron | It's OK | 14:50 |

| Galvatron | Now, all you need to do is binding the cube to some key, prefereably to the middle one of the mouse | 14:53 |
| TomShatt | I don't know what to change in VLC's options. =/ | 14:53 |
| KM0201 | gobbe: no, you made a suggestion of VLC, and i was just saying why i didn't think vlc would work | 14:53 |
| ahmetalpbalkan | Galvatron: where is the name of that binding exactly? | 14:54 |
| TomShatt | VLC just starts to play video again from the begining instead of showing me OP or/and ED of episode. | 14:54 |
| TomShatt | I believe it has to do something with Codecs. | 14:54 |
| ahmetalpbalkan | Galvatron: I mean is it in desktopcube or rotatecube? | 14:54 |
| TomShatt | nobody met same problem? | 14:55 |
| mamatcyber | does any one can help me? | 14:56 |
| Galvatron | Rtate Cube > Bindings > Rotate cube > Initiate | 14:56 |
| KM0201 | TomShatt: google suggests its a fairly common question, but i see no solution. | 14:56 |
| TomShatt | KM0201: same.. no solution for linux, but same solution for windows. | 14:57 |
| Galvatron | But you would be better sticking to Expo (in 2x2 configuration) and bindig it to on of screen corners (Expo > Expo edge) | 14:58 |
| Galvatron | *to one of screen corners | 14:58 |
| Galvatron | This way it is much faster than rotating the cube | 14:58 |
| JNZ | With 18 GB of RAM, do I really need a swap partition on a desktop installation? | 14:59 |
| ahmetalpbalkan | Galvatron: thx! | 14:59 |
| KM0201 | JNZ: highly unlikely... don't know about now days, but the installer used to complain w/ ominous warnings if you didn't create one.. i'm assuming with that much memory, you're not lacking hard drive space, so make a 3gig swap, and call it a day | 14:59 |

| geirha | JNZ: If you want to be able to hibernate, you need a swap >= physical mem | 15:00 |
| ozstr1ker | hm | 15:00 |
| KM0201 | geirha: even w 16gigs?... i dunno | 15:00 |
| JNZ | I really don't care about hibernation, which is why I'm here wondering if it'll negatively impact anything else. | 15:00 |
| JNZ | KM0201: Yeah, since it suspends to disk. | 15:01 |
| JNZ | So it writes the contents of RAM to disk. | 15:01 |
| ozstr1ker | KM0201 :-! but it's simple | 15:01 |
| KM0201 | ozstr1ker: well, so is xchat-gnome and xchat(to a lesser degree) | 15:01 |
| KM0201 | and they don't suck | 15:01 |
| Galvatron | JNZ: You don't really need a SWAP with 1GB or more | 15:01 |

| ozstr1ker | KM0201 :-S so there is no hope to use empathy all in one to work properly? | 15:02 |
| KM0201 | ozstr1ker: i'm assuming there's hope.. but it's really more an application issue, than an ubuntu issue. | 15:03 |

| DarsVaeda | hi I want to convert a rpm with alien, it says the deb was created but i can not find it? | 15:04 |
| Galvatron | If you have at least 768MB of RAM, you don't need more than 256MB of SWAP | 15:04 |
| ozstr1ker | have another q. how can i browse my hardware from console what magic command to use? | 15:04 |
| dusf | even though sound works with other software like gnome player or wine whenever something else is using the sound vlc won't have any and gives the error "Potential ALSA version problem: VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any). Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue." is the upgrade really required if sound works fine sometimes? audio seems to break everytime i upgrade ubuntu (current 10.10) and | 15:05 |

| kurtcobain | yes i know | 15:09 |
| asiekierka | "Could you please tell me what's a good, free and fast antivirus for [OS here], please?" | 15:10 |
| breadcrumb | ozstr1ker ubuntu does not require an anti-virus | 15:10 |
| asiekierka | i use ubuntu too | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | mmol , update the packages them and it won't delay your login the next time you ssh | 15:10 |
| asiekierka | Ralink chipsets, i HATE you. | 15:10 |
| Galvatron | ozstr1ker: You don't need any, unless you have a server communicating with Windows-based clients and holding Windows stuff (i.e. mail) | 15:10 |
| ozstr1ker | but i've got virus on my flash drive | 15:10 |
| asiekierka | is it a windows virus or a linux virus | 15:10 |
| ozstr1ker | ok thx for help | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | !virus | asiekierka, | 15:11 |
| ubottu | asiekierka,: 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 | 15:11 |
| asiekierka | yes, because the Linux viruses are few and far between | 15:11 |
| asiekierka | unlike Windows | 15:11 |
| sandhu | i m using internet on ubuntu how much it is safe | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | sandhu, read above | 15:11 |
| ozstr1ker | useing samba and many information transfer by flash drive | 15:11 |
| KM0201 | asiek506: avast is good for both Linux and Windows... but really Linux viruses are only useful if you are filesharing w/ windows machines, and don't want to pass on nonsense to them. | 15:12 |
| KM0201 | asiek506: whats wrong w/ your realtek | 15:12 |
| ozstr1ker | asiekierka thanks | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | ozstr1ker, then have your drive scanned by an antivirus when you plug it into a window OS | 15:12 |
| amanda_ | Ok, I need help | 15:12 |
| ChrisDruif | KM0201: And even if you do...those windows machines got scanners installed for that...right? ;) | 15:13 |
| sandhu | in windows we delete temp files but in ubuntu what we can do | 15:13 |
| ChrisDruif | !ask | amanda_ | 15:13 |
| ubottu | amanda_: 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. :-) | 15:13 |
| KM0201 | ChrisDruif: wel yeah, but... you have to assume your friends/co-workers are retarded, and will ignore their virus software... so if you're passing something along, i'd rather verify its clean before hand | 15:13 |
| sandhu | in windows we delete temp files but in ubuntu what we can do | 15:14 |
| ChrisDruif | KM0201: Most of my friends ARE retards....they use Windows :P | 15:14 |

| FUMOS | hello everyone on #ubuntu | 15:22 |
| jeaton | i just installed ubuntu 10.04, is there something I can install to allow me to watch dvds off of mplayer | 15:22 |
| jeaton | or play mp3 files? | 15:23 |
| KM0201 | jeaton: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras for mp3 | 15:23 |
| KM0201 | !dvd | jeaton after that, follow these instructions for DVD playback | 15:23 |
| ubottu | jeaton after that, follow these instructions for DVD playback: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 15:23 |

| coz_ | jeaton, also run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 15:23 |
| FUMOS | I have a problem watching a .mpg file, it seems to give the least problems in Gnome MPlayer, does anyone here by chance have knowledge of codecs here or something? | 15:24 |
| KM0201 | coz_: that's detailed in the !dvd link... but you can't "just run that command" pretty sure you have to install libdvdread4 | 15:24 |
| mistergibson | Question : besides using VMs, is there a way to tell linux to run a process on a specific core (in a multicore system) ? | 15:24 |
| KM0201 | FUMOS: just download vlc it'll probably work fine | 15:24 |
| andycc | FUMOS: what kind of problems do you have? | 15:24 |
| FUMOS | in MPlayer is gives the error message: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 15:24 |
| coz_ | KM0201, mm no I run that all the time with no issues as far as I know it is installed | 15:24 |
| FUMOS | doesn't work in VLC unfortunately :( | 15:25 |
| asyraff | help me...why my linux does not detect my pendrive????? | 15:25 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 15:25 |
| amanda_ | Any suggestions? | 15:25 |
| coz_ | McDuck1, | 15:25 |
| McDuck1 | ? | 15:25 |
| coz_ | FUMOS, I generally open synaptic search for vlc and install all vlc packages | 15:25 |
| KM0201 | coz_: then it (libdvdread4) must be installed out of the box now | 15:25 |
| coz_ | FUMOS, seems to work so far with all formats | 15:25 |
| coz_ | KM0201, seems to be... i could be wrong however that command always works even on ubuntu 11.04 | 15:26 |
| JNZ | Does the latest Ubuntu's partition manager have a way to resize existing partitions to create new unallocated space? | 15:26 |

| FUMOS | I think I've got all vlc packages but I'll check software center and synaptics to be sure, brb | 15:26 |

| amanda_ | ? | 15:27 |
| asyraff | overdub: it only shows cdrom... | 15:28 |
| oCean | mistergibson: normally linux is designed to make threads "wander" the various cores (not designed to be a "RT" or realtime operating system) You might want to search/google for cpu "affinity", you might find some options | 15:28 |

| asyraff | overdub: yup | 15:31 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: the router is irrelevant... open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter... and find your wifi device... don't paste the whole list in the channel | 15:31 |
| Ubunewb | alberto, do you mean the proprietary drives? | 15:31 |

| lynxomania | something wrong with GRUB2??? | 15:40 |
| DamnYouGrub | sorry im angry | 15:40 |
| KM0201 | DamnYouGrub: uninstall the kernel in synaptic, then run sudo update-grub2 it's not that difficult | 15:40 |
| uth | I thank you for your advice KM0201 | 15:40 |
| KM0201 | DamnYouGrub: well, y ou come up looking like an idiot whne you talk like that | 15:40 |
| DamnYouGrub | i only cussed once? | 15:41 |
| WaltherFI | DamnYouGrub: so, there is this max_entries | 15:41 |
| KM0201 | DamnYouGrub: doesn't matter, its not necessary... and second, it's against the channel rules | 15:41 |
| KM0201 | DamnYouGrub: and the fact you only done it once, doesn't mean you're less of an idiot | 15:41 |
| WaltherFI | DamnYouGrub: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and put a value in the commented max_entries | 15:42 |
| DamnYouGrub | i'm clearly an idiot which is why I'm here for help? | 15:42 |
| DamnYouGrub | thanks | 15:42 |
| KM0201 | DamnYouGrub: and i gave you your answer... whats the issue? | 15:42 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: just leave it | 15:42 |
| Kranix | I'm on /dev/sdb (where my USB is) in GParted, what now? | 15:43 |
| gobbe | DamnYouGrub: just remove old kernels with synaptic and you are done | 15:43 |
| KM0201 | gobbe: well, you have to update grub... but i've told him that, and he just wants to repeat himself. | 15:43 |
| WaltherFI | gobbe: it is not a permanent fix | 15:43 |
| WaltherFI | gobbe: there'll be new kernels | 15:43 |
| overdub | DamnYouGrub, take a deep breath, walk away from the problem for a while, it's nearly impossible to learn when angry | 15:43 |
| lynxomania | gobbe: old kernels can be removed from synaptic??? | 15:43 |
| gobbe | WaltherFI: sure, i told him to remove old ones when he gots new | 15:43 |
| KM0201 | lynxomania: of course | 15:43 |
| tgp1994 | Hi everyone. I'm having a hell of a time (on ubuntu) with wireless networking right now. Wicd freezes all of the time, network-manager just doesn't work period, and iwconfig can get it working most of the way, although I still can't ping my residential gateway or access the greater internet. Does anyone know what I can do? | 15:44 |
| WaltherFI | gobbe: grub has option max_entries | 15:44 |
| gobbe | WaltherFI: i know, but if you are not using old ones why you should keep them in disk anyway | 15:44 |
| WaltherFI | gobbe: but his/her problem was having to always to do stuff | 15:44 |
| lynxomania | wow... lemme try... i've so many old kernels filling up my boot menu... just didnt wanted to take that risk in removing them from grub config | 15:44 |
| alberto | Ubunewb Yes, sorry. | 15:45 |
| tgp1994 | lynxomania: I think grub automatically does that for you once you uninstall any old kernel. | 15:45 |
| gobbe | lynxomania: you can remove them with synaptic | 15:45 |
| WaltherFI | lynxomania: also, grub has max_entries so you can keep your kernels etc | 15:45 |
| WaltherFI | it limits the boot options it shows | 15:45 |
| WaltherFI | automatically | 15:45 |
| Kranix | <Kranix> I'm on /dev/sdb (where my USB is) in GParted, what now? | 15:45 |
| KM0201 | lynxomania: do a search in synaptic for "linux-image"... sort by package name... and you'll start seeing linux-image-#-##... uninstall the "old" versions... once they're removed, cloose synaptic and sudo update-grub | 15:45 |
| gobbe | WaltherFI: that's true also, but max entries doesn't remove old ones filling your disk, if you are not using them why dont just remove :) | 15:46 |
| lynxomania | i didnt knew old kernels can be uninstalled... the only possibility was removing from grub config... now lemme try it... | 15:46 |
| tgp1994 | Kranix: Now format it with your favorite partition. | 15:46 |
| WaltherFI | Kranix: what are you up to | 15:46 |
| Ubunewb | Alberto well did you try going to "system>administration>hardware drivers" ? | 15:46 |
| necktie | noob here. i want to install a package called kmenc15. but i keep getting E: Unable to locate package kmenc15. can anyone help me? | 15:46 |
| FUMOS | here is the outcome in the terminal that I tried to post (flooding the chat) http://paste.ubuntu.com/554392/ @ KM0201 andycc and coz_ | 15:46 |
| GRT | verbinding viel weg | 15:46 |
| KM0201 | tgp1994: automatically does what?... | 15:46 |
| WaltherFI | gobbe: but as you see, this is a support channel where we want to fix problem people have - and his/her problem wasn't running ouy of HD space | 15:46 |
| Kranix | Walther, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667701 for more info. | 15:47 |
| tgp1994 | KM0201: Afaik, grub2 will automatically generate its boot list once you install/remove a kernel. | 15:47 |
| Ubunewb | alberto although there is a lot of issues with the proprietary drivers for amd...but I have also just started to use ubuntu so.. | 15:47 |
| amanda_ | Ok, I'm back with the same problem. it said it already had the latest version | 15:47 |
| KM0201 | tgp1994: not in my experience, but it might... i always run it after removign old kernels.. but you may be right | 15:47 |
| WaltherFI | Kranix: sorry, on my mobile :/ | 15:47 |
| Ubunewb | is there a German channel ubuntu? | 15:47 |
| KM0201 | !de | Ubunewb | 15:47 |
| ubottu | Ubunewb: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 15:47 |
| Kranix | Do I just leave the fields as default, except the file system one? | 15:47 |
| gobbe | WaltherFI: i know purpose of this channel and i'm here to give that support :) | 15:48 |
| Ubunewb | thanks km0201! | 15:48 |
| KM0201 | :) | 15:48 |
| necktie | noob here. i want to install a package called kmenc15. but i keep getting E: Unable to locate package kmenc15. can anyone help me? | 15:48 |
| alberto | Ubunewb I understand... I've tried several things... | 15:48 |
| WaltherFI | gobbe: yep, me too. Don't want to be offensive, but he/he was angry for always having to clean up the grub - so always removing old kernels is not fixing that | 15:48 |
| Kranix | Necktie, are you using apt-get install or are you in synaptic? | 15:48 |
| Kranix | apt-get remove* | 15:48 |
| FUMOS | I also tried it on a quadcore computer (running windows though) but it had the same issues as MPlayer: constant skipping and pixellation @ KM0201 andycc and coz_ | 15:49 |
| KM0201 | necktie: it doesn't appear to be in the repositoories | 15:49 |
| gobbe | WaltherFI: of course not, correct way would be max entries and removing old ones | 15:49 |
| necktie | Kranix: apt-get | 15:49 |
| Kranix | Try searching in Synaptic. | 15:49 |
| coz_ | FUMOS, which video card are you running? | 15:49 |
| JoeyA | I'm trying to use the Ubuntu 10.04 live CD, and sudo requires a password :( | 15:49 |
| KM0201 | necktie: what are you trying to install?... because that package is not in the default repos. | 15:49 |
| andycc | FUMOS, then it's probably some error in the mpg file (if I recall your problem correctly) | 15:49 |
| JoeyA | (a non-empty password, that is) | 15:49 |
| KM0201 | JoeyA: it shouldn't.... | 15:49 |
| necktie | KM0201: kmenc15 | 15:49 |
| JoeyA | (powerpc) | 15:49 |
| Ubunewb | albeto so whats the problem? | 15:50 |
| WaltherFI | JoeyA: try rebooting | 15:50 |
| Ubunewb | alberto * | 15:50 |
| KM0201 | necktie: why ar eyou trying to install it i mean.. is it a dependency of another package, or what? | 15:50 |
| necktie | KM0201: can't i add backports or something like that? | 15:50 |
| WaltherFI | JoeyA: also, if it doesn't still work, the cd might be corrupted | 15:50 |
| FUMOS | Intel graphics on a laptop @ coz_ | 15:50 |
| lynxomania | new kernels will be installed once we run update manager right??? coz 2.6.32.27 is the installed version... i just saw 2.6.35.22 in synaptic... wonder why it was not installed when i ran update manager??? | 15:50 |
| KM0201 | necktie: i've got all "default" and a bunch of extra repos on my pc, and that package is not in my package manager | 15:50 |
| necktie | KM0201: i need it to split avi files | 15:50 |
| amanda_ | Ok, I'm back with the same problem. it said it already had the latest version of the b34 | 15:50 |
| FUMOS | I think GMA 950 or GMA X3100 or maybe X4500 @ coz_ | 15:51 |
| WaltherFI | necktie: yes you can add repositories with different packages | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | FUMOS, @ doesn't work on irc , this is not an IM , just use the nick you are addressing | 15:51 |
| JoeyA | WaltherFI: I checked the sha256sum, and downloaded properly. | 15:51 |
| Kranix | Can't get it to work, no specific error messages... | 15:51 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: is the b43 driver active? (menu... system/admin/additional rivers) | 15:51 |
| necktie | WaltherFI: cool. how can i add backports? | 15:51 |
| WaltherFI | FUMOS: do you run compiz? | 15:51 |
| ChrisDruif | ;ugt | 15:52 |
| coz_ | FUMOS, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 15:52 |
| JoeyA | My CD drive could just be messed up, I don't know. | 15:52 |
| WaltherFI | necktie: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:[name of repository] | 15:52 |
| FUMOS | yes, WaltherFI | 15:52 |
| amanda_ | there is no additional drivers but there is an option for hardware drivers... | 15:52 |
| WaltherFI | FUMOS: from compiz configuration, check the General options | 15:52 |
| KM0201 | necktie: i just checked the ubuntu-backports... that package is not there either | 15:52 |
| WaltherFI | FUMOS: check if you have the correct resolution, refresh rate etc on there | 15:52 |
| lynxomania | new kernels will be installed once we run update manager right??? coz 2.6.32.27 is the installed version... i just saw 2.6.35.22 in synaptic... wonder why it was not installed when i ran update manager??? | 15:52 |

| FUMOS | I still want it to remain in public chat BluesKaj | 15:53 |
| andycc | amanda_, same thing more or less. | 15:53 |
| WaltherFI | FUMOS: also, check if you have vsync enabled, it causes pixellation etc on low gpu's | 15:53 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: what version of ubuntu are you using again? | 15:53 |
| WaltherFI | lynxomania: don't know, try sudo apt-get update | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | FUMOS, yes it will remain in public chat without the @ | 15:53 |
| amanda_ | 10.10 | 15:53 |
| EyesIsMine|iPod | Err | 15:53 |
| lynxomania | tried it... but the latest version is not comin up... | 15:54 |
| Kranix | Is there any way to see the specific errors in GParted? | 15:54 |
| amanda_ | yes it is | 15:54 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: youre' using 10.10, and you don't have system/admin/additional drivers? it says hardware drivers? | 15:54 |
| lynxomania | i'm using 10.04... so i must be getting the newest kernel!!! | 15:54 |
| necktie | KM0201: what about ubuntu multimedia? | 15:54 |

| KM0201 | amanda_: that doesn't really make sense, but ok | 15:55 |
| coz_ | FUMOS, is this a laptop or desktop? | 15:55 |
| necktie | KM0201: is it there? | 15:55 |

| necktie | KM0201: where do i go to look? | 15:55 |
| amanda_ | How do I check ther version? it may be 10.04... | 15:55 |

| necktie | repo* | 15:56 |
| KM0201 | necktie: what exact program, are you trying to install?.. that requires this file | 15:56 |
| coz_ | lynxomania, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages | 15:56 |
| WaltherFI | lynxomania: a package that is not a package, but a 'shortcut' to big chunk of packages | 15:56 |
| FUMOS | WaltherFI how do I get to compiz options? I cant find it in the system menu | 15:56 |
| necktie | KM0201: kmenc15 is the program | 15:56 |
| Ubunewb | Using the catalyst 10.12 drivers with my radeon hd 2600 pro, artifacts appear (eg. on open office) while scrolling sidewards. anyone got any idea on that? | 15:56 |
| _juki | How can I clear apt-get's autoremove list, because its deleting gnome and packages related to it? | 15:56 |
| WaltherFI | FUMOS: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 15:56 |
| necktie | KM0201: it requires mencoder | 15:57 |
| lynxomania | well... i thought of trying the new kernel but inside its info was mentioned not to try it directly but instead try the meta-package... | 15:57 |
| lynxomania | coz: lemme check... | 15:57 |
| FUMOS | I've set it to 128 MB which is the recommended setting coz_ | 15:57 |
| Kranix | Could I install Linux Mint 10 on a computer currently running Windows Vista using an USB formatted to NTFS? | 15:57 |
| IdleOne | !mint | 15:57 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 15:57 |
| coz_ | FUMOS, ok ... you can experiment with that but 128 s hould be ok | 15:57 |
| v4nelle | i was slackware user for 2 years,and i installed ubuntu...i think its really fast distro :) | 15:57 |
| KM0201 | necktie: here's a debian lenny package, it should work w/ Ubuntu.. but that's your call... http://linuxappfinder.com/package/kmenc15 | 15:57 |
| WaltherFI | FUMOS: check if you have VSync enabled in your player then? try VLC, it's the most up-to-date player atm | 15:57 |
| amanda_ | How do I check ther version? it may be 10.04... | 15:57 |
| Kranix | Is ubbotu really a bot? | 15:57 |
| WaltherFI | Kranix: yep | 15:58 |
| WaltherFI | Kranix: and it is open source | 15:58 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: it probably is in a terminal type lsb_release -a | 15:58 |
| Kranix | I'll test it. | 15:58 |
| Kranix | Linux Mint | 15:58 |
| necktie | KM0201: my call? can it screw ubuntu up or something? | 15:58 |
| KM0201 | wasn't there an issue a couple weeks ago, of an upgrade breaking the b43 driver? | 15:58 |
| _juki | How can I clear apt-get's autoremove list, because its deleting gnome and packages related to it? | 15:59 |
| KM0201 | necktie: usually, no... but.. again, your call... | 15:59 |
| amanda_ | version 10.04.1 | 15:59 |
| WaltherFI | juki: there shouldn't be need for that | 15:59 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: i kinda thought so. | 15:59 |
| WaltherFI | juki: run dpkg-reconfigure -a | 15:59 |
| IdleOne | _juki: autoremove does not uninstall those packages, it deletes the .deb files from the cache. it is safe | 15:59 |
| amanda_ | heh, sorry still kinda new, but I'm a quick learner | 15:59 |
| WaltherFI | juki: it cheks for errors | 16:00 |
| _juki | ok thanks! | 16:00 |
| FUMOS | it doesn't play in VLC nor Movieplayer, it only plays in Gnome MPlayer but it gets pixelated and constantly skips frames WaltherFI | 16:00 |

| KM0201 | amanda_: if you were gonna do that, i'd recommend 10.10 but i seem to recall reading something about an upgrade breaking the b43 driver the other day.. tryign to find it | 16:02 |
| pksadiq | WaltherFI: xine is not something very advanced, but it's so easy, and even you know, I believe that mencoder, of Mplayer is very very advanced for a normal user | 16:02 |

| KM0201 | tekton: or if you want "quick and dirty"... install teamviewer on both machines... then you dont have to mess w/ routers, etc. | 16:07 |
| yeats | eXpLoD: sorry http://goo.gl/ixcN9 | 16:07 |
| Kranix | Can't mount the USB after formatting it to NTFS... | 16:07 |
| Middleman | how do u install .deb files | 16:08 |
| * yeats had a paste error ;-) | 16:08 | |
| amanda_ | Any luck KM0201? | 16:08 |
| WaltherFI | Kranix: sudo mount -a? | 16:08 |
| Middleman | swftools: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/swftools/download | 16:08 |
| KM0201 | Middleman: either double click them, or sudo dpkg -i /path/to/packagename | 16:08 |
| WaltherFI | Middleman: doubleclick | 16:08 |
| Migaaresno | I have added myself to the www-data group. I still cant edit /var/www. /var/www ownership is root:www-data 664. Should i reboot for groups to take effect? | 16:08 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: no, i can't find it... | 16:08 |
| Middleman | i dont use gui, thanks KM0201 | 16:08 |
| KM0201 | the only reference i can find is several months old, and i kno that wasn't it | 16:08 |
| yeats | eXpLoD: also, I'm assuming you mean 'Synaptic Package Manager' not aptitude, right? | 16:08 |
| HugoGF | Kranix: Could it be the USB itself? Or the USB port? | 16:09 |
| eXpLoD | no | 16:09 |
| amanda_ | Ok, so what would you suggest? | 16:09 |
| Kranix | sudo mount -a did it. | 16:09 |
| HugoGF | Kranix: Okay :) | 16:09 |
| === guillermo is now known as Onionhead | ||
| WaltherFI | Kranix: so it is not automounting | 16:09 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: i'd try asking on the ubuntu forums, see if anyone knows bout it there... | 16:09 |
| KM0201 | but.. like i said, i know i read that the other day. | 16:09 |
| tekton | i know about vnc, i have a specific question to make | 16:09 |
| amanda_ | Been surfing them all morning | 16:10 |
| WaltherFI | !ask | tekton | 16:10 |
| ubottu | tekton: 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. :-) | 16:10 |
| amanda_ | Kinda why I came here | 16:10 |
| tekton | ok sorry. I go on then | 16:10 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: what was your question again, see if i can help | 16:10 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: yeah, unfortunately, i don't know.. but i know i read that the other day | 16:10 |
| KM0201 | WaltherFI: b43 is activated and not working. | 16:10 |
| tekton | i have managed to connect to my kubuntu desktop that uses krdc from a windows 7 netbook using tightvnc | 16:11 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: yeah read about that too... | 16:11 |
| tekton | the opposite is impossible, giving server not found | 16:11 |
| eXpLoD | @yeats here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554398/ | 16:11 |
| HugoGF | tekton: Good job, then. | 16:11 |
| KM0201 | WaltherFI: ok, so i know i'm not crazy | 16:11 |
| KM0201 | :) | 16:11 |
| amanda_ | The wifi light on my laptop went out and now the "enable wifi" option is greyed out | 16:11 |
| tekton | i have done the same dyndns to that mashine too with a different account | 16:11 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 16:11 |
| Migaaresno | tekton, are the ports forwarded? | 16:11 |
| Taos | Any reason why wubi reboots into a blank screen? | 16:12 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: yeah, my laptop also has no wifi anymore, realtek </3 | 16:12 |
| tekton | yes, i have opened the same ports to both | 16:12 |
| WaltherFI | !wubi | Taos | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Taos: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 16:12 |
| tekton | in fact i have made the same settings to both | 16:12 |
| KM0201 | Taos: you mean, other than it sucks? | 16:12 |
| Taos | KM0201: ha | 16:12 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: whoops. sorry. Wubi is not intended for regular use | 16:12 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: it is very, ery buggy | 16:12 |
| tekton | could that be a matter of compatibility? | 16:12 |
| Taos | walmis: Im sure it isn't point is I just want to boot for the first time | 16:13 |
| KM0201 | Taos: seriously, if your'e getting any sort of wubi problem.. honestly,i woudl immediately uninstall it so it doesn't jack up windows.. as thats usually what happens | 16:13 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: what was the factoid for that again? | 16:13 |
| tekton | could it be a problem of the tightvnc server? | 16:13 |
| Taos | I just want to install ubuntu but use the windows boot manager -_- | 16:13 |
| KM0201 | WaltherFI: not sure... to be truthful.. i just tell people it sucks | 16:13 |
| KM0201 | lol | 16:13 |
| eXpLoD | what irc app are you using guys?I'm using the irssi in the terminal | 16:13 |
| crazy_8 | how do i tell what xvideo driver im using like vesra or xorg | 16:13 |
| crazy_8 | from terminal | 16:13 |
| pksadiq | eXpLoD: me too, almost all using here irssi | 16:13 |
| Taos | Im not using grub again not after last time | 16:14 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: that's near impossible | 16:14 |
| eXpLoD | 18:11 < eXpLoD> @yeats here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554398/ | 16:14 |
| WaltherFI | eXpLoD: irssi for most of people | 16:14 |
| Taos | WaltherFI: I personally hate grub2 | 16:14 |
| KM0201 | Taos: well, grub is way safter than wubi. | 16:14 |
| amanda_ | ok, that code got me to an adduser screen | 16:14 |
| Migaaresno | tekton, No, the host was not found. Hmmm. the next thing i would do is check if the ports on the windows machine are open. | 16:14 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: well, like KM0201 said | 16:14 |
| KM0201 | Taos: i hate grub2 also, but i only have to see it for 3sec | 16:14 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: also, there are others too... | 16:14 |
| Migaaresno | tekton, Can you VNC from your windows machine to your windows machine? | 16:14 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: what was the other boot manager? | 16:14 |
| Taos | Last time I wanted to remove ubuntu something messed up in grub2 and it blew away my boot sector | 16:14 |
| yeats | eXpLoD: that looks okay.... can you try what you did again and see if you still get the error? | 16:15 |
| KM0201 | WaltherFI: you would ask me that... it starts with an L i think | 16:15 |
| KM0201 | WaltherFI: LILO | 16:15 |
| WaltherFI | ha | 16:15 |
| eXpLoD | what package manager is the best,except synaptic? | 16:15 |
| KM0201 | i was close :) | 16:15 |
| KM0201 | !polls | eXpLoD | 16:15 |
| ubottu | eXpLoD: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:15 |
| tekton | nugaaeresno i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything? | 16:15 |
| tekton | migaaeresno i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything? | 16:15 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: yeah, been there... also, i've had my partition tables go kaboom once, it was a hell to recover | 16:15 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: but in general, grub2 is the most advanced boot mgr | 16:16 |
| Taos | WaltherFI: I want a way to install ubuntu, while keeping winodws as the first option in the list and/or using only the windows boot manager | 16:16 |
| tekton | migaaeresno: i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything? | 16:16 |
| Taos | other than that im not bothered how I get there | 16:16 |
| === fresh is now known as Guest4840 | ||
| FUMOS | this is what I got in gxine (via the terminal) pksadiq http://paste.ubuntu.com/554402/ | 16:16 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: it is easy to put it first in the list :) | 16:16 |
| Migaaresno | tekton, It shows the server is working correctly. But take notice! Some servers disallow connecting from the same machine, see settings. | 16:16 |
| tekton | sorry for repeating many times, i'm all rusty with irc and don't remember the commands yet | 16:17 |
| KM0201 | Taos: making windows the default boot option, is not that difficult. | 16:17 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: it is in the /etc/default/grub, you can edit the order | 16:17 |
| eXpLoD | is there any way so I can take space from my windows and add it to ubuntu without having to reformat?I have like 50 GB free and on ubuntu only 10 GB,can I do this? | 16:17 |
| KM0201 | Taos: if you want a way to backup your windows mbr, and then easily restore it... so if you decide to remove linux... there's easy ays to do that | 16:17 |
| WaltherFI | eXpLoD: old gparted | 16:17 |
| Taos | *sigh* | 16:17 |
| KM0201 | Taos: but seriously, Wubi is like going the wrong way on a one way highway... | 16:18 |
| amanda_ | Do I want to launch byobu at shell login waltherFI? | 16:18 |
| tekton | Migaaresno: i will try to connect to my kubuntu from here then, cause the windows belongs to a friend. then i will ask him to try also | 16:18 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: just install grub, and make windows the first option. it is easy and safe | 16:18 |
| * Taos hates windows not having dd | 16:18 | |
| KM0201 | Taos: when ti fails, it is spectacular and often difficult to fix | 16:18 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: oh, what was byoby again | 16:18 |
| VPNner307 | Hi | 16:18 |
| amanda_ | Byobu can launch automatically at login (e.g. console, ssh), providing │ | 16:18 |
| amanda_ | │ an attachable/detachable window manager on the command line. │ | 16:18 |
| amanda_ | │ │ | 16:18 |
| amanda_ | │ If you select this option, Byobu will install a symlink in │ | 16:18 |
| amanda_ | │ /etc/profile.d. This setting is system-wide, for all users logging into │ | 16:18 |
| FloodBot3 | amanda_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:18 |
| * KM0201 sighs | 16:19 | |
| VPNner307 | I need a little help with OpenVPN and Routing | 16:19 |
| pksadiq | Taos: windows have dd , ld, gcc, irssi, vim, bash, and almost every thing, except the compiz, I think | 16:19 |
| WaltherFI | Taos: yeah, dd is awesome, for destroying stuff at least :P dd if dev/zero of /dev sda boom there you go and disk unusable | 16:19 |
| Taos | im dding winodws right now | 16:19 |
| crazy_8 | how do i tell what video driver i am using from terminal? xorg or vesa?? | 16:19 |
| Kranix | Can't get it to boot from the USB, it's set to do so in the BIOS. | 16:19 |
| amanda_ | If you select this option, Byobu will install a symlink in │ | 16:19 |
| amanda_ | │ /etc/profile.d. This setting is system-wide, for all users logging into │ | 16:19 |
| amanda_ | │ the system. Individual users can disable this by touching │ | 16:19 |

| pksadiq | WaltherFI: I use dd to write iso files, to save cd/dvd to iso files, etc | 16:20 |
| tekton | wow i just connected to myself and the mirror effect almost crashed my mashine :D | 16:20 |
| WaltherFI | Kranix: try different port, all computers don't allow boot from some ports | 16:20 |
| tekton | what is the different between ssh and the vnc? what would be preferable? | 16:20 |
| WaltherFI | pksadiq: that too, but there are easier and safer ways to do .isos | 16:20 |
| Kranix | Different USB port? | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | tekton | 16:20 |
| ubottu | tekton: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 16:20 |
| KM0201 | tekton: ssh it's quite a bit more secure | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | tekton: vnc gives you a remote display. ssh is a multi-tool. | 16:21 |
| sacarlson | crazy_8: I think you can see the name of the video driver with the command lspci -v | 16:21 |
| pksadiq | Kranix: I think there is something like F12 or F2 to select the drive to be booted, and some time your usb device will be recognized as Hard drive | 16:21 |
| amanda_ | Nothin happened | 16:22 |
| tekton | so ssh has more options than vnc, and is more secure. great - some kubuntu gui application for ssh? | 16:22 |
| KM0201 | tekton: read the factoid. | 16:22 |
| VPNner307 | i have a root-server running debian and OpenVPN is installed. Both windows 7 clients can connect successfully. But I am not able to ping client1 from client2 or vise versa via vpn | 16:22 |
| WaltherFI | tekton: sudo apt-get install ssh | 16:22 |
| amanda_ | Would a fresh install be my only option? | 16:22 |
| josvuk | hello, how to test a dvd drive? | 16:22 |
| WaltherFI | tekton: you need manuals then, but ssh is easy to install | 16:22 |
| Azareth | mail email stays in the exim queue but is not send, can you tell me what the problem is? | 16:23 |
| WaltherFI | josvuk: put something in, check if you see the content | 16:23 |
| WaltherFI | Azareth: proxys? correct servers/ports set? | 16:23 |
| tekton | tell i will read it yes. sorry for the simplicity of my last questions. ssh is already installed in my mashine, also read sth about it but not enough | 16:23 |
| josvuk | WaltherFI, yes I did this I can't see the content | 16:23 |
| WaltherFI | josvuk: sudo mount -a | 16:23 |
| Azareth | WaltherFI : I am a linux newbie so... not sure | 16:24 |
| WaltherFI | Azareth: check your settings then :) | 16:24 |
| Migaaresno | VNC is remote frame buffer, its for gui's. While ssh works from the command line. ssh is thus way more bandwith friendly. | 16:24 |
| sacarlson | VPNner307: you have to enable client to client in openvpn | 16:24 |
| tekton | ooops "tell" i use in another console :) . thank you for your advice till now. maybe we speak again for it. good evening | 16:24 |
| VPNner307 | yes | 16:24 |
| josvuk | WaltherFI places computer shows me cd/dvd dirve | 16:24 |
| WaltherFI | Azareth: google for the correct settings, most email providers have guides to set up mailers | 16:24 |
| bwright | Migaaresno: You can forward X over SSH. | 16:24 |
| bwright | Migaaresno: So it depends. | 16:24 |
| WaltherFI | josvuk: in terminal, run sudo mount -a while having the cd/dvd in | 16:25 |
| VPNner307 | scarlson: yes i have with directive client-to-client in server.conf | 16:25 |
| compdoc | I hear SPICE would be better than VNC | 16:25 |
| WaltherFI | compdoc: in general, SSH > others | 16:25 |
| compdoc | well, not for GUI | 16:25 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: take it for a moment, brb | 16:25 |
| KM0201 | lol | 16:26 |
| veilig_abt | is it possible to save logins to multiple mysql DB's via CLI so I don't have to keep tracking down the credentials? | 16:26 |
| bwright | catalin: Well it can forward X... | 16:26 |
| WaltherFI | compdoc: you can forward stuff through ssh? | 16:26 |
| Kranix | Set it to Hard Drive, still boots to Windows. | 16:26 |
| WaltherFI | compdoc: no problem | 16:26 |
| josvuk | WahltherFI: the man page says (usually given in a bootscript) | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | if you really want VPN w/ a desktop, the easy/secure way just download and install teamviewer on all the machines.. problem solved.. no router configuring, etc | 16:26 |
| josvuk | What happens to the bootscript? | 16:26 |
| VPNner307 | sacarlson: should i paste my server.conf? | 16:26 |
| bwright | KM0201: Teamviewer is nice. | 16:26 |
| lalli | hhow to remove that sidebar at left | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | bwright: and also dead nuts simple to set up... i use it to help my grandma w/ pc probs in kansas | 16:27 |
| KM0201 | lol | 16:27 |

| sacarlson | VPNner307: sure and also your route at the server side here's an example http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN/Routing | 16:27 |
| pksadiq | Kranix: in BIOS select the hsrd drive priority and see whether you can select your pendrive there | 16:27 |
| bwright | KM0201: I used it when debugging graphics issues from across the pacific ocean when developing an indie title :P | 16:27 |
| lalli | there is no such button i think | 16:27 |

| FloodBot3 | bwright: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:30 |
| josvuk | Hm, my fstab has the entry /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exex,utf8 0 0 | 16:30 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: what did you do to try and fix it? | 16:30 |
| Kranix | I went to the BIOS, then Advanced BIOS settings, then Boot Sequence, then tried selecting all the things in it. | 16:30 |
| IdleOne | bwright: yes it can but if you can't get the system to boot from USB messing with the boot loader is not a good idea...see what i am saying :) | 16:30 |
| MadCarburetor | There must be something that i can copy paste in the terminal to make the desktop work | 16:30 |
| NixGeek | Kranix: You are sure the bios supports usb booting? | 16:30 |
| josvuk | does this men my dvd is accesable as hdb after mounting it | 16:30 |
| gobbe | MadCarburetor: as far as i know you cannot have icons with 10.10's unity | 16:30 |
| IdleOne | Kranix: I mean the USB stick, how did you make it ? | 16:30 |
| Kranix | It had 3 different boot options with USB i the name... | 16:31 |
| bwright | IdleOne: mmmm | 16:31 |
| josvuk | what means the noauto causes this perhabps the problem to ben not maunted automatically | 16:31 |
| Kranix | I used UNetbootin. | 16:31 |
| amanda_ | byobu | 16:31 |
| andrei_ | how do I change my nick?I forgot | 16:31 |
| nirazio | I read that there is now a 2D version of Unity built on Qt. How do I install it? | 16:31 |

| josvuk | andrei_ /nick | 16:31 |
| andrei_ | well when I do it nothing happens | 16:32 |
| NixGeek | Kranix: hmm, have a look at plop: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html it might let you bott your usb stick. I used it with an old computer to boot Freenas from a usb stick so I could use it as a file server. | 16:32 |
| === andrei_ is now known as eXpL0d | ||
| josvuk | how | 16:32 |

| IdleOne | Kranix: hmm see the link NixGeek just gave you. that might help | 16:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | lalli, i highly doubt that is possible | 16:33 |
| WaltherFI | lalli: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove unity | 16:33 |
| lalli | ffuuuuuuuuu | 16:33 |
| pksadiq | Kranix: if you feel that your bios doesn't supports USB booting you can use plop boot manager, visit www.plop.at | 16:33 |
| lalli | ok | 16:33 |
| WaltherFI | lalli: then you no longer have netbook remix | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | WaltherFI: not sure thats gonna have the desired effect..lol. | 16:33 |
| WaltherFI | lalli: it goes to regular | 16:33 |
| lalli | good | 16:33 |
| lalli | thats what i wanted | 16:33 |
| NixGeek | pksadiq: a little late on that. look up about 15 lines... | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | oh... :) | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | why not jut install ubuntu-desktop then?.. | 16:34 |
| pksadiq | NixGeek: I was away, sorry | 16:34 |
| amanda_ | I typed whatever walther said to and it brought up an adduser.thing | 16:34 |
| NixGeek | pksadiq: it's fine, just pointing it out. at least someone else here is thinking | 16:34 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: which one? | 16:34 |
| pksadiq | NixGeek: have you ever installed plop on a system booting with grub2? | 16:35 |
| lalli | last question (for now) how can i exit irssi and get back to terminal | 16:35 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: sorry, but i have so many helps going on atm, can't remember everything :/ | 16:35 |
| pksadiq | lalli: /quit | 16:35 |
| josvuk | sudo mount -a doesn't work still no contetn in places Computer dvdrom | 16:35 |
| IdleOne | lalli: /exit | 16:35 |
| amanda_ | I cant remember it was right before I asked you about the adduser screen | 16:35 |
| NixGeek | you don't have to install it, use a floppy or cd | 16:35 |
| amanda_ | it's all good | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | josvuk: you have a entry for the cd in /etc/fstab? normally thats not mounted from there. | 16:35 |
| amanda_ | Is there a code I can try to manually enable wireless? | 16:36 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: i don't know about byobu | 16:36 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 up | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | amanda_: theres commands to configure wireless networking. yes. | 16:36 |
| NixGeek | pksadiq: I have never installed to a harddrive, the only time I use it is with no waiting boot to usb on my freenas server. | 16:36 |
| amanda_ | Well I let it do whatever it was gonna do | 16:36 |
| MadCarburetor | Can i have multiple workspaces in the Unity interface? | 16:36 |
| josvuk | Dr_Willis: Yes I have: /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | josvuk: notice the 'noauto' option? | 16:36 |
| josvuk | in the /etc/fstab | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | josvuk: do sudo mount /media/cdrom0 | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | josvuk: thats weird your cd is /dev/hdb | 16:37 |
| KM0201 | is there any way to mount an ISO to cdrom0? | 16:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, that /dev/hdb is very suspicious | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: you can mount an iso file to a directory./ | 16:37 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: er, rightclick Open with Archive mounter | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: the system really cant tell what kind of drive it is. | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !loop | 16:37 |
| KM0201 | Dr_Willis: yeah, i know that.... i was just wanting to mount it as a CD, then you can add it as a volume to synaptic | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | 16:37 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | KM0201: you can add it to synaptic anyway from iso i recall. | 16:38 |
| josvuk | Dr_Willis, yes it is, I guess this happens during last ubuntu update, can't remember any problems bevor | 16:38 |
| KM0201 | Dr_Willis: hmm.. i tried that and didn't have any luck | 16:38 |
| robbit10 | I am about to install Ubuntu 10.10. Is there any reason to use the Alternate Installer? | 16:38 |
| KM0201 | maybe i did it wrong | 16:38 |
| WaltherFI | robbit10: only if you want to do stuff manually | 16:38 |
| Dr_Willis | robbit10: some problem machines - iva had to use the alt-installer cd. | 16:38 |
| sacarlson | KM0201: I know you can mount an ISO file so what could stop us from mounting at the location /medai/cdrom0 ? maybe not if it's already mounted to something | 16:38 |
| Dr_Willis | robbit10: it also has some different options during the isntall. | 16:38 |
| WaltherFI | robbit10: alternate install needs knowledge | 16:38 |
| WaltherFI | !alternate | 16:39 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 16:39 |
| Kranix | Which of the files should I download, plpbt-5.0.11-2.zip? | 16:39 |
| robbit10 | !minimal | 16:39 |
| francisco | What do I need for see me with a cam' Which program is supported in Xubutnu? | 16:39 |
| ubottu | 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 | 16:39 |
| KM0201 | sacarlson: well, definitely nothing is mounted in /media/cdrom0 now | 16:39 |
| yeats | robbit10: the alternate installer keeps you from having to boot into the full GUI environment - it's a better option in many cases | 16:39 |

| pieter_ | hi fellow ubuntu users, I need some help please. | 16:42 |
| nunojpg | is there any reference for /usr/share/pam-configs more detailed than https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PAMConfigFrameworkSpec ? | 16:42 |
| pieter_ | I just upgraded from kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. After the upgrade, everything was just fine and I experienced no boot problems. | 16:42 |
| HugoGF | When my computer runs out of battery it just dies completely in ubuntu, it doesn't try to go to sleep before that happens or anything, or warn me that I have low battery. Can someone help me resolve this? | 16:42 |
| KM0201 | yeats: whats worse, is when they do it multiple times | 16:42 |
| pieter_ | I then ran the software update manager and it asked me to run a partial distribution update, which I did. | 16:42 |
| KM0201 | despite being told to paste | 16:42 |
| pieter_ | Now when I boot, it hangs at the kubuntu splash screen (I mean this: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/7523/kubuntuplymouth.png ). | 16:42 |
| pieter_ | The magic sysrq keys still work. When I press the power button, the 'lights' of the splashscreen change and it shuts down. | 16:42 |
| amanda_ | ok, so I tried sudo iwconfig wlan0 up and that said could not find command "up" do I tried again with "up" taken out | 16:42 |
| pieter_ | I'm not dual booting another OS. | 16:42 |
| pieter_ | Thank you very much in advance! | 16:42 |

| IdleOne | amanda_: does your laptop have a switch to turn on/off wifi? | 16:53 |

| amanda_ | No | 16:53 |

| amanda_ | no | 16:53 |

| WaltherFI | KM0201: realtek ones... | 16:54 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 16:54 |
| WaltherFI | KM0201: i tried compiling some drivers from sources, didn't happen | 16:54 |
| lover | helloowww | 16:54 |
| amanda_ | It sees the wifi network I set up when I go to network connections | 16:54 |
| KM0201 | i've never had luck w/ ndiswrapper... but maybe you/she coul try that | 16:55 |
| lover | i just installed ubuntu netbook 10.04 | 16:55 |
| ubuntu | Is there a good Lubuntu Forum | 16:55 |
| Ixi | Sorry WaltherFI, I didn't know... | 16:55 |
| lover | but cannot hear from the netbook speaker, have to use earphone | 16:55 |
| IdleOne | ubuntu: #lubuntu | 16:55 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: what do you mean "sees it"... it shows your configuration, or it actually shows the network, just that you're not connected to it. | 16:55 |
| lover | somebody help | 16:55 |
| Ixi | IdleOne, I am just a first time noobie who can't connect to her wireless internet Dx | 16:55 |
| amanda_ | yes | 16:55 |
| ubuntu | ok | 16:55 |
| WaltherFI | Ixi: yeah no problem with me, it's not a problem at all - it's just a matter of keeping the flood to minimum as this is a very fast-paced channel | 16:55 |
| eXpL0d | when i compile and build a c program with codeblocks,the output will be in the release directory,but i cannot run it! | 16:56 |

| Ixi | thank you IdleOne <3 sorry for being a bother | 16:56 |
| WaltherFI | lover: oh sorry my mistake. Have you checked the sound preferences? | 16:56 |
| IdleOne | Ixi: no bother :) | 16:56 |
| amanda_ | Hmm you think that'd work | 16:57 |
| amanda_ | Or maybe just a fresh install of 10.04.1? | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | eXpL0d: is the resulting file marked as executable? | 16:57 |
| Ixi | >.< Thats not the same as mine looks, the netbook edition looks different and I am in network connections, I can add one but I can't connect if that makes sense... | 16:58 |
| WaltherFI | I wonder if I I wonder if i could get CAS hours for helping people here xD | 16:58 |
| KM0201 | amanda_: maybe.. but if an update on 10.04 broke the system.. it's logical when it updates again, it's gonna break again... i dunno | 16:58 |
| IdleOne | amanda_: a fresh install will probably fix the issue, seems a little extreme but if nothing else has worked. | 16:58 |
| HugoGF | My computer runs out of battery and dies, it doesn't attempt to go to sleep at all. How do I make it go to sleep before it dies | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Ixi: when you are connected, can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 16:58 |
| WaltherFI | amanda_: also, why bother installing 10.04.1, you could go 10.10 at the same time | 16:58 |
| amanda_ | True, I'll try 10.10 and report back later | 16:59 |
| francisco_ | Can someone help me? I don't know how to install my webcam on my xubuntu | 16:59 |

| francisco_ | lol thx xD | 17:00 |
| HugoGF | My computer runs out of battery and dies, it doesn't attempt to go to sleep at all. How do I make it go to sleep before it dies? | 17:01 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: power preferences | 17:02 |
| sam-_- | HugoGF, happens even on windows when the battery is old and reports strange values | 17:02 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: right click on the battery icon, preferences | 17:02 |
| WaltherFI | HugoGF: also, occasionally it just happens no matter the setting | 17:02 |
| MauriceJ | Hello, everyone! I have successfully installed IE6 and IE7 on my system (10.04) using winetricks and exporting to .wine_ie6 and .wine_ie7 but when I tried for IE8 all seemed well until I tried to actually connect to a site using IE8. Is anyone aware of any glitches that I've overlooked or wasn't able to find searching online? Thank you for your time in advance. | 17:03 |
| * mneptok stares blankly | 17:03 | |
| MauriceJ | Did I say something wrong? | 17:03 |
| wiw | How do I begin troubleshooting my new Ubuntu install not being able to suspend? (it looks like it's going well, and then the screen blanks but doesn't turn off and gets stuck) | 17:03 |
| MauriceJ | Besides installing IE for testing of CSS? | 17:04 |
| mneptok | MauriceJ: no, i just have no idea why anyone would actually *want* to use IE. | 17:04 |
| wiw | ^ +1 | 17:04 |
| WaltherFI | MauriceJ: IE8 is quite new, wine can't develop fast enough to contain support for every program at the moment they come out | 17:04 |
| MauriceJ | Web developer purposes of testing CSS ONLY. | 17:04 |
| MauriceJ | WaltherFI: OK Thank you veyr much, wasn't aware of that. | 17:04 |
| mneptok | MauriceJ: so use a VM rather than WINE | 17:04 |
| WaltherFI | MauriceJ: also, try browsershots.org ;) | 17:04 |
| Barnabas | wiw: also make sure your system uses laptop mode | 17:04 |
| Barnabas | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-laptop-power-saving/ | 17:04 |
| pksadiq | !css | 17:05 |
| MauriceJ | WaltherFI: I'd love to but getting the results is a bit slow for my timeframe usually. Thank you for the suggestion, though! | 17:05 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | MauriceJ: IE runs pretty bad in wine. To get a true use you'll need to use a full windows install in virtualbox or vmware | 17:05 |
| pksadiq | !html | 17:05 |
| ubottu | html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 17:05 |
| MauriceJ | ActionParsnip: Ah, darn. Okay good to know, thank you, mate! | 17:05 |
| mneptok | MauriceJ: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose | 17:06 |
| mneptok | MauriceJ: then bust out your Windows installer media and install Windows to a VM | 17:06 |
| ComradeHaz` | MauriceJ: see PM :) | 17:06 |
| compdoc | no one seems to like KVM | 17:07 |
| mneptok | MauriceJ: this has the advantage of providing you with the complete IE library underpinnings, so you can be sure the results you see are the results Windows users will see. | 17:07 |
| wiw | Barnabas: Thanks, I see it's not in laptop mode, however I'm unable to get the terminal into su... Is it a separate password than the one for my admin user? | 17:07 |
| gobbe | compdoc: i like | 17:07 |
| compdoc | me too | 17:07 |
| Barnabas | wiw : sudo is always used with your own password | 17:07 |
| hiexpo | ? is when i plug in my usb devices they always auto mount but i used dd to put an iso on one and it doesnt auto mount anymore how do i mount it so i can formatit | 17:07 |
| Barnabas | not that of the root user | 17:07 |
| MauriceJ | mneptok: Okay, good to know and I think that's the only real solution at this point. Thank you. | 17:08 |
| wiw | Barnabas: I am using my own password. And I also happen to be the admin... It's saying "authentication failure" | 17:08 |
| mneptok | MauriceJ: np. | 17:08 |
| Enekk | @wiw I just joined in, are you saying you are unable to change your privilages to root in ubuntu (password denied)? | 17:10 |
| mneptok | wiw: don't use su. use sudo. | 17:10 |
| wiw | I tried both | 17:10 |
| mneptok | wiw: sudo -i | 17:11 |
| Enekk | @wiw if all else fails: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub | 17:11 |
| wiw | "permission denied" | 17:11 |
| mOHawk | wiw is caps on or off | 17:11 |
| mneptok | wiw: then you are having a problem with your password. if your account was not allowed to use sudo, you'd get output that reflected that. | 17:11 |
| Barnabas | wiw: never ever use the root account as the user account | 17:11 |
| wiw | I can only remeber ever giving my system one password, which is my user's password (the one I put in every time I log in), that the one I'm supposed to be using, right? | 17:12 |
| mneptok | wiw: with sudo, yes. with su, no. | 17:12 |
| IdleOne | wiw: correct | 17:12 |
| mOHawk | yep | 17:12 |
| wiw | sudo doesn't ask for a password | 17:12 |
| pksadiq | wiw: what about sudo -i ? | 17:12 |
| IdleOne | something wrong in sudoers if sudo is not asking for a password | 17:13 |
| mneptok | wiw: "sudo" is a command that requires arguments. | 17:13 |
| Barnabas | IdleOne, or the user is not in the correct user group | 17:13 |
| wiw | the command I'm trying is 'sudo echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode' | 17:13 |
| jetscreamer | how do you move the minimize/maximaie/close buttons on the windows from the left to the right | 17:13 |
| mneptok | wiw: you don;t just typew "sudo" but the entire command you want to run as root | 17:13 |
| Enekk | exit | 17:13 |
| mOHawk | find the shadow if i remember right | 17:13 |
| jetscreamer | s/maximaie/maximize/ | 17:13 |
| IdleOne | wiw: try: sudo apt-get update | 17:13 |
| IdleOne | does it ask for pass? | 17:14 |
| mneptok | wiw: that's 2 commands, and the second will require root privileges it does not have | 17:14 |
| jetscreamer | your user's pw | 17:14 |
| wiw | 'sudo apt-get update' worked, it asked for a password | 17:14 |
| mneptok | wiw: you want "sudo -i" and then "echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode" | 17:14 |
| jetscreamer | that user's password | 17:14 |
| IdleOne | ok so mneptok is correct, malformed command | 17:15 |
| wiw | alright, that seems to have worked | 17:15 |
| IdleOne | cookie for mneptok :) | 17:15 |
| jetscreamer | so the buttons on the windows, a metacity thing or a theme thing | 17:16 |
| jetscreamer | gnome uses metacity by default? | 17:16 |
| IdleOne | jetscreamer: or compiz if enabled | 17:16 |
| === Rogeli0 is now known as Ramir00 | ||
| mneptok | jetscreamer: both. a Metacity theme thing. | 17:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | Pudabudigada, yes, && means "after successful completion, run this next command" | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Pudabudigada: one issue with doing that. is that ANY error from update. will keep upgrade from working. | 17:34 |
| LoganJRuff | JNZ, which drivers are you looking for? You can lspci | grep -i <video>,<wireless>,<etc> to find your hardware information, then google for the drivers. | 17:35 |
| abhijeet | induz, check your yahoo mail if they have opened the pop and SMPT .. if yes you can use thunderbird . otherwise you have to zimbra.. which is a yahoo product | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Pudabudigada: even if its just a wearning about duplicate sources. | 17:35 |

| JNZ | LoganJRuff: It's just annoying that I have to go manually get them, since NVIDIA has proprietary ones out there and in the past Ubuntu had found them automatically. | 17:35 |
| LoganJRuff | JNZ, lspci | grep -i video for me, please? | 17:35 |

| enaut | ziro`: if you work with vim and every time you have a problem google it... like that you will get exactly the knowlege you need because you hardly can learn all of vim :) | 18:05 |

| seshagiri | @frustro: I got the same error from the ubuntu 10.10 32bit i have installed in VirtualBox, and it boots! But the yesterday it has shown more errors including you have described. And it was not starting gdm also. | 18:54 |

| greppy | oddtod: did you set the port correctly on the client? | 18:54 |
| schnuffle | staff_nowa: okay, te problem is not apache it' that your whole setup consumes to much memory. I guess mysql uses the biggest part of your memory? | 18:55 |

| Pudabudigada | Hello, how do I find out what shell I'm running? | 18:56 |
| staff_nowa | <schnuffle> i think it's not good to switch to sqlite3 | 18:56 |
| ether-boy | greppy: my resolv.conf contains just one line that says "nameserver 192.168.0.1". what way should i add the google DNS servers? | 18:56 |
| staff_nowa | <schnuffle> may not use innodb ? | 18:57 |
| JNZ | So, why was I able to upgrade to 11.04? | 18:57 |
| greppy | ether-boy: put "nameserver 8.8.8.8" on the line before the existing one. | 18:57 |
| greppy | oddtod: are you using network manager to set this up? | 18:57 |
| ubuntu | I don't know if anyone cares but i found a (no biggy) typo on the installer of the live cd xD | 18:57 |
| schnuffle | Pudabudigada: echo $SHELL | 18:57 |
| JNZ | I upgraded to 10.10 from the previous LTS and it basically broke and initramfs failed to upgrade and then it said it was doing a recovery roll-back | 18:57 |
| JNZ | And now it reports I'm using 11.04 | 18:57 |
| Pudabudigada | Cheers | 18:57 |

| IdleOne | JNZ: that is a bug in 10.10 what does lsb_release -a say? | 18:58 |
| greppy | oddtod: I was never able to get that working, I installed the openvpn client from apt and configured it that way. | 18:58 |
| JNZ | IdleOne: 10.10, yet the upgrade to 10.10 failed and it did a roll back | 18:58 |
| oddtod | greppy: Ok I will set that up and report back. Thanks for your assistance | 18:58 |
| JNZ | is lsb release -a the guaranteed version I'm at? | 18:58 |
| schnuffle | staff_nowa: your problem is that with apache procsses rising your system will start killing processes. | 18:59 |
| jrib | Pudabudigada: it's better to do something like: ps -p $$ | 18:59 |
| JNZ | or is it just some indicating file somewhere? | 18:59 |
| ether-boy | greppy: how can i check if the updated DNS is being used? | 18:59 |
| induz | I have tgz file on /tmp folder How can i Install that program on Lucid | 18:59 |

| staff_nowa | <schnuffle> yes killing but some times get error on apache, but work | 18:59 |
| Pudabudigada | jrib, what is the extra info it gives? | 18:59 |
| greppy | ether-boy: you may have to restart your web browser or other network software for them to see the change. | 18:59 |
| Delphius | or try lighttpd | 19:00 |
| jrib | Pudabudigada: the columns should have headings | 19:00 |
| oddtod | greppy: just the 'openvpn' package? | 19:00 |
| ether-boy | greppy: ok, i ll do that, thanks and have a nice day :) | 19:00 |
| Pudabudigada | Yeah, but I don't know what they all mean | 19:00 |

| gsp2009 | bluezone: kind of irregular. Some boots go straight to terminal, others just hang. | 19:13 |
| JNZ | Way to go with error checking guys. | 19:13 |
| KM0201 | JNZ: something tells me its a user malfunction | 19:13 |
| JNZ | KM0201: I used the automatic distribution upgrade, everything broke. It's a clean install. | 19:13 |
| bluezone | gsp2009: i had a very very very simmilar problem, wasted 2 days trying to solve it and now i am reformatting, i did not find a solution, it is probably a conflict with the video card drivers of nvidia (as always) you can probably boot your system in recover fail safe though | 19:14 |
| induz | for pop account I have to upgrade to yplus | 19:14 |
| Sary | illuminaris, for Ubuntu 11.04 support you can /join #ubuntu+1 | 19:14 |

| induz | how can I backup my USB drive on Lucid?? | 19:15 |
| JNZ | KM0201: Then you know better than to assume that an issue which has been posted repeatedly across the entire Ubuntu forums isn't "user error", especially since it's such a core system that dies after an automatic upgrade. | 19:15 |
| KM0201 | lol.. | 19:16 |

| gsp2009 | bluezone: so if you are using nvidia proprietary, you can remove the drivers, then reboot to new kernel, then reinstall nvidia | 19:31 |
| gsp2009 | bluezone: that may help with you wireless | 19:32 |
| bluezone | too late the installer decided to format and then fail | 19:32 |

| KM0201 | Blue1: hmm, wonder what happpened there | 19:36 |
| frustro | bluezone, lol, had same issue last night, had to use an alt distro download to install. | 19:36 |
| nunojpg | greppy: this is 10.10, with all updates, and packages "mercurial libqrencode3 libpam0g-dev" installed | 19:36 |
| KM0201 | bluezone: have you considered the alt. install cd? | 19:36 |
| KM0201 | or maybe the ISO is bad | 19:36 |
| JZandi | i want to know you believ about dell laptop | 19:36 |
| oddtod | greppy: no dice it says 'ok' but never connects :( I am going to try and do it through CLI. I changed 'dev tap' to 'dev br0' is this correct or should it be tap | 19:36 |
| midi | I have an external hard drive on my 2nd laptop(ubunto os), and i want to know if I can share it on network with other ubuntu | 19:37 |
| bluezone | KM0201: the what? | 19:37 |
| nunojpg | greppy: /usr/local/bin: drwxr-xr-x | 19:37 |
| nunojpg | greppy: looks a serious issue | 19:37 |
| KM0201 | !alternate | bluezone when you have some troublesome installs... | 19:37 |
| ubottu | bluezone when you have some troublesome installs...: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | Fuma, fyi , the media players in linux can play anything that windows can and then some . Maybe you're missing the latest codec updates. Make sure you have ubuntu-restricted extras installed and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repos | 19:37 |
| oddtod | midi: you can use NFS or Samba to accomplish this. | 19:37 |
| flazzid | is there anyone that can help me with the fixed channel -1 on a ar5001 ath | 19:38 |
| drew212 | how do i check what packages a certain PPA contains? preferably using the terminal | 19:38 |
| JZandi | plz answer me! | 19:38 |
| frustro | bluezone, had same issue, i d/l 2 of the standard GUI install iso and both gave errors. the alt distro worked great | 19:38 |
| midi | oddtod, I use samba, but still cant see it on the other laptop | 19:38 |
| greppy | oddtod: tap | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | midi: what os is on the other laptop? | 19:39 |
| KM0201 | bluezone: i've found i prefer the alt. cd for installing... if i need to test hardware, live cd is good | 19:39 |
| midi | oddtod: ubuntu 10.10 also | 19:39 |
| Sary | JZandi, Ok , but believe in what .. about (Dell) | 19:39 |
| induz | how can I install Zimbra?? | 19:39 |
| nurv | how do i unpack or extract a tar.lzma? | 19:39 |
| eXpL0d | how can i run .net dependent apps through wine? | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | midi: for linux to linux, you could use ssh/scp/sshfs, or nfs. nfs would be faster.. and is not too hard to setup. but its not an 'on the fly' type shareing like samba is. | 19:40 |
| jetscreamer | what's the savedefault equiv in grub2, or grub-pc the package seems to be named... aka how do you set the default os to boot with grub | 19:40 |
| jrib | nurv: you can probably double click on it. Or pass --lzma if you prefer command line | 19:40 |
| jetscreamer | apt-cache search lzma | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jetscreamer: the grub2 guides/wiki pages mention that setting. - check http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 for my list of grub2 links | 19:40 |
| jetscreamer | thanks | 19:40 |
| nurv | jrib: oh k ty | 19:40 |

| Travis-42 | crying, that tells me that it's mounted under ~/.gvfs -- but I need to be able to use tools like dd on the device | 19:41 |
| bluezone | i am still disgusted because this worked last time xD | 19:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jetscreamer: check the /etc/default/grub config - i think you enable the 'saved' option and you can use some command to set the default | 19:41 |
| Mike1 | i thought the Shift-Key during booting should display the Grub-Menu in newer Ubuntus? | 19:41 |

| ZykoticK9 | Mike1, it does - if you are using Grub2 -- try holding fist down | 19:42 |
| === laptop is now known as Guest8002 | ||

| Mike1 | ZykoticK9: fist? | 19:42 |
| KM0201 | bluezone: crap just happens sometimes.. but i'd say if it's failed twice, something is not co-operating | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Mike1: a live cd/single user mode would let you change it. | 19:42 |
| Fuma | bluezone, huh? I have no problems with media playback. I have problems with dual monitor setup. That is. ubuntu doesn't see my other monitor. | 19:42 |
| midi | Dr_Willis: so i have to use samba, i made my own configuration on samba, created a network "MIDIGROUP" on one laptop i can access the file that i shared, "desktop" folder, but i cant access the external hard drive. | 19:42 |

| KM0201 | Fuma: what is your graphics device? | 19:42 |
| bluezone | Fuma: i was not talking about media playback | 19:42 |
| Otani | When I go into catalyst control panel and enable the second monitor, it tells me to reboot. when i do, and ubuntu comes back up, both screens go black. | 19:42 |
| Fuma | bluezone, sorry. That was meant for BluesKaj | 19:42 |
| KM0201 | Fuma: do you have your graphics driver installed? Dual screens w/ Nvidia is easy | 19:43 |

| crying | Travis-42: Don't know sorry. | 19:44 |
| frustro | fuma gksudo nvidia-settings | 19:44 |
| Fuma | KM0201, yeah..... I think I can get it to work now. I was looking at the wrong tab. Now I see I have the screen disabled in X Display Configuration | 19:44 |
| KM0201 | Fuma: yeah, you have to set it in nvidia-settings | 19:44 |

| oddtod | greppy: thank you I am going to try it again now. | 19:45 |
| jrib | Travis-42: "doesn't work" is too vague | 19:46 |
| Travis-42 | jrib, it gives the error "is a directory" | 19:46 |
| jrib | Travis-42: yes | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | Travis-42, instasll v4l2 , it should show up as /dev/video0 in mplayer | 19:46 |
| jrib | Travis-42: because it is... | 19:46 |
| Fuma | KM0201, thank you very much for the info though! It works. I think :) | 19:46 |
| Travis-42 | jrib, right, so I need to know how to get dd to work on it -- | 19:46 |
| jrib | Travis-42: what do you want to accomplish in the end? | 19:46 |
| Travis-42 | thanks BluesKaj, I'll try that | 19:46 |
| Travis-42 | jrib, I need to recover deleted files from the sd card | 19:46 |

| pradeep | heard the is inSSIDer scans on linux | 19:59 |
| eXpLoD | what package managers are out there?I only know about apt-get and synaptic,I prefer the GUI ones tho | 19:59 |
| sanziana | is there anyway I can make transmission start at startup minimized? | 20:00 |
| frustro | Otani, which is your primary display? | 20:00 |
| Otani | the 24" lcd | 20:00 |
| nits_hunter | sanziana: | 20:00 |
| acovrig | eXpLoD: aptitude is a cmd-line gui one that I like well | 20:00 |
| sanziana | yes nits_hunter? | 20:00 |
| Otani | the lcd is 1920x1200, the hdtv is 1920x1080 (60hz) | 20:00 |
| eXpLoD | I have aptitude too,but it's nicer when I have a GUI | 20:01 |
| nits_hunter | sanziana: system->Preferences->Startup Applications Add transmission& | 20:01 |
| frustro | Otani, both work as primary if you only select one? | 20:01 |
| acovrig | I accidentally chowned /var/run, if I restart, will that fix it? | 20:01 |
| frustro | acovrig, no | 20:01 |

| Buttons840 | i'm trying to record a internet stream; i have jackd running, but the internet stream will not work while jackd is running -- can alsa not play sound without having hw:0 (which is currently claimed by jackd) -- also, is there a tutorial about all this anywhere, i'm just trying different things without really understanding | 20:01 |
| acovrig | frustro: do you know how I can fix it? | 20:02 |
| sanziana | so the "&" is for apps to go minimized? | 20:02 |
| Otani | frustro, the hdtv doesnt show up in catalyst. it shows the second card as grey. if i turn on multi-display, it still doesnt detect the hdtv. the hdtv doesnt get a signal. and catalyst assigns the new, unknown display to 640x480 | 20:03 |
| nits_hunter | sanziana: it's for the apps to run in background | 20:03 |
| Buttons840 | how can i tell whethere i'm using alsa or pulseaudio to play the sound im' hearing? | 20:03 |
| sanziana | okay, thank you! | 20:03 |
| midi | i made my own configuration on samba, created a network "MIDIGROUP" on one laptop i can access the file that i shared, "desktop" folder, but i cant access the external hard drive. | 20:03 |
| brown_boar | pulse audio delivers sound in pulses | 20:03 |
| nits_hunter | sanziana: no problem, try it and let us know if that works :) | 20:03 |
| brown_boar | did you try listening for that | 20:03 |
| frustro | acovrig, sudo chown roor /var/run | 20:04 |
| Otani | frustro, perhaps it has issues detecting the second card? | 20:04 |
| frustro | Otani, correct. 11.1 is comming soon. | 20:05 |
| frustro | acovrig, sudo chown root /var/run <- user name fix | 20:05 |
| Otani | frustro, in "Display Manager" it shows the first device as "[Sceptre X24WG] ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series" | 20:05 |
| Otani | the second one says "[Unknown Display] Unknown adapter" | 20:05 |
| frustro | Otani, have you tried the 40" on the working adapter? | 20:05 |
| Otani | no. but i know for a fact it works as a display. i use it in windows as a secondary display | 20:06 |
| acovrig | frustro: I did that, and I guess it isn't too much of an issue bc I can always chown <user> for the individual stuff, but I got a 'screen' error bc <user> didn't own /var/run/screen/S-<user> | 20:06 |
| Otani | frustro, but catalyst is basicly saying that the second radeon hd 5770 is an "unknown adapter" | 20:07 |
| eXpLoD | are there any gui pacakage managers except synaptic? | 20:07 |
| Dr_Willis | eXpLoD: kde has one, | 20:08 |
| frustro | acovrig, there is always sudo chown -R root /var/run, but that can be tricky.... -R means this folder, all it's files and everything after... | 20:08 |

| glaceman | how can i list the usb devices | 20:17 |
| KM0201 | PoppaVic: what do you mean a snapshot... like when you reboot, it reinstalls all the packages you currently have? | 20:17 |
| frustro | damn. I've almost got this trs-80 model 100 to my ubuntu server via serial console working. | 20:17 |

| PoppaVic | I got 10.10 so nicely tweaked and updated/graded, I want to get that sucker to dvd - so I can at least boot that and reinstall to Today ;-) | 20:18 |
| samd | nits_hunter, well, lspci will list all devices attachec to to pci, i want to know if there is another "bus" aparts from pci in which devices are connected to | 20:18 |
| Otani | i REALLY wanna move from windows to linux... but if i cant get dual display working, it isnt happening. | 20:18 |
| frustro | samd, lsusb? | 20:18 |
| Gnea | Otani: nvidia or ati? | 20:18 |
| Otani | Gnea, ati. | 20:18 |
| nits_hunter | samd: lolz that's the extent of my knowledge, sorry, quite a noob here :P | 20:18 |
| brown_boar | you mean crossfire? | 20:19 |
| samd | nits_hunter, allright, no problem, thank you anyway | 20:19 |
| brown_boar | or two monitors? | 20:19 |
| Gnea | Otani: Not sure if that's gonna fly, nvidia has proper support for dual+ heads. Which model is it? | 20:19 |
| Otani | i have 2x 5770 | 20:19 |
| KM0201 | PoppaVic: you can use clonezilla to clone your ubuntu partition.. but.. beyond that, i don't know. | 20:19 |
| PoppaVic | KM0201: something runs - it bit-copies the whole of in-use lappy hdd. It lets me write that to a dvd with enough extra to boot it for reinstall back, or livecd - I ain't picky, just paranoid. | 20:19 |
| samd | frustro, thanks | 20:19 |
| Gnea | !ati | 20:20 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:20 |
| Gnea | let's take a look... | 20:20 |
| Otani | Gnea, as I told frustro, I think its an issue with ubuntu not detecting the second card. | 20:20 |
| eXpLoD | are the "* for dummies"books any good? | 20:20 |
| KM0201 | !clone | 20:20 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 20:20 |
| pradeep | Otani, what do you mean by it is not working | 20:20 |
| frustro | brown_boar, dual cards, one 24" and one 40" the 24" is the primary, secondary card is not reconized | 20:20 |
| Gnea | Otani: some things just aren't as automatic as they are with windows. | 20:20 |
| Otani | in catalyst, under display management, the first display says "[Sceptre X24WG] Ati Radeon HD 5700 Series" | 20:20 |
| Gnea | Otani: that doesn't mean they can't be done. | 20:20 |
| PoppaVic | KM0201: yeah.. Got the url up in the other workspace. Reading that, Partimage and remastersys | 20:21 |
| Gnea | Otani: are they both pci-e? | 20:21 |
| KM0201 | hnmm | 20:21 |
| nits_hunter | eXpLoD: some are, but the best thing to learn linux from is at linuxcommand.org | 20:21 |
| Otani | the second one says "[Unknown Display] Unknown Adapter" | 20:21 |
| Him | All right, I'm confined to a terminal right now. Supposing I have a font in my personal .fonts directory, how do I install that font, what commands do I use? | 20:21 |
| Otani | both are pci-e | 20:21 |
| Gnea | Otani: just curious why you didn't get a dual-head display card in the first place | 20:21 |
| PoppaVic | KM0201: I'm working on the premise that I've tons of settings - not to mention source I am working on - that I want back - all of it - in case the universe ends | 20:22 |
| Otani | these cards are dual head. tri-head actually. 2 dvi + hdmi | 20:22 |
| eXpLoD | can anybody tell me all the available package managers? | 20:22 |
| KM0201 | PoppaVic: only way i know to do that, is clonezilla, but i could be wrong. | 20:22 |
| Otani | but i want to use the cards independently. otherwise, why have 2 in linux? not a whole lot of use for crossfire | 20:22 |
| PoppaVic | KM0201: np - that's advice, and it's what I asked for. Thanks. Back to reading ;-) | 20:23 |
| Gnea | Otani: okay, that makes sense. my suggestion would be to get one card working with dual display and go from there | 20:23 |
| Gnea | Otani: also, are you on 10.04 or 10.10? | 20:23 |
| Otani | 10.04 | 20:24 |
| Otani | i just hooked the hdmi to the first video card | 20:24 |
| brown_boar | try 10.10 | 20:24 |
| Otani | its now outputing to both | 20:24 |
| Gnea | Otani: nice option | 20:24 |
| brown_boar | 5770 might of been to new for 10.04 | 20:24 |
| Gnea | 10.10 is too new and full of problems | 20:24 |
| brown_boar | how so | 20:24 |
| Gnea | brown_boar: and it's "might have", not "might of" | 20:25 |
| Gnea | you're thinking "might've" | 20:25 |
| Otani | so, the hdmi is working on the card that the lcd is hooked to. it is mirrored. | 20:25 |
| eXpLoD | can anybody tell me how to join an IRC channel through pidgin? | 20:25 |
| Gnea | awesome | 20:25 |
| Otani | but as i said, i want to use both cards. one for each display | 20:25 |

| glaceman | ok back to normal now, why does ubuntnu freeze sometimes | 20:33 |
| brown_boar | Zykotic that doesn't make sense. you mine as well say an omniscient being could break the encryption, so why bother? | 20:34 |
| Gnea | kane77: no, you'd have to copy all of the files to another device, reformat, then copy them back... oh, and then you'd have to fix permissions on them | 20:34 |
| KM0201 | glaceman: well... are you doing anything in particular when it freezes? | 20:34 |
| brown_boar | we are fighting against humans, in a time of computers that aren't powerful enough to break encryption | 20:34 |
| kane77 | beige, yes, its large disk and I have no space to put my files to.. | 20:34 |
| glaceman | KM0201: nope, just chatting or something like that, and suddenly i want to click somewhere with my mouse, and it freezes | 20:34 |

| kane77 | Gnea, well that's the problem, I don't have enough space elsewhere so I hoped an in-place method would exist | 20:34 |
| KM0201 | glaceman: the whole destkop freezes, or you can move the mouse, and you just can't click anything | 20:35 |
| brown_boar | truecrypt doesn't adhere to any laws does it? like i can use encryptions that the government won't get mad about? | 20:35 |
| Gnea | kane77: well, you could use samba to access it | 20:35 |

| glaceman | what does emblems means | 20:58 |
| opengeard | #!/bin/sh , #!/usr/bin/env bash , #!/usr/bin/env sh should also work. | 20:58 |
| sanziana | Gnea, I don't see it in synaptic | 20:58 |

| Gnea | TheBeige: too much for me to type again. | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis | if you like irssi. you may want to try out weechat. it has a larger featureset :) | 21:01 |

| danopia_ | glaceman, a panel launcher or a shortcut on the desktop? | 21:02 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: make a launcher that runs (for example -> xterm -e 'irssi' | 21:02 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: gnome-terminal has a similer option | 21:02 |
| Gnea | glaceman: oh... just type gnome-terminal or xterm | 21:02 |

| Nick01 | no process, i start the system and right of the bat 50 | 21:04 |
| guntbert | Auriga: you removed all execution permissions from it | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | glaceman: proberly not the best way to quit irssi either.. use the /quit or /exit command | 21:05 |
| glaceman | Dr_Willis: i launched a terminal -e irssi , now dosen' wanna close | 21:05 |

| Nick01 | Gnea, according to process tab 8 % is max being used | 21:06 |
| Auriga | Gunbert, chomd 777 adds the execute for all right? | 21:06 |
| Otani | Gnea, you had to get me started. I have been an nvidia fanboy for years. I build my rig on my bday in 09. (dec 17th). i had to build a rig that would last a long time. nvidia was supposed to release their 300 series days beofre my bday. what did they do? pushed back the release! so ati was the only cards on the market with DX11. so nvidia can lick my hairy sack! | 21:06 |

| Him | I've done this before, but now, it won't let me. | 21:38 |
| Lord_Rahl | alaing, or you can use wscp that will give you ez drop and drag access. my self I set samba and mount the drive in windows | 21:38 |

| Dr_Willis | patrunjel: most all of them can save to bmp. or you can save to somthing, then convert to bmp.. its what you are going to be drawing thats more imporntant | 21:42 |
| Him | Gnea: dpkg-reconfigure is not the problem. It runs fine when I do "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig". As soon as I do "fontconfig-config" however, it doesn't do anything. It's supposed to give me a box like this: http://urukrama.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/artwiz01.png | 21:42 |

| jonas_ | I'm newb!! Just wondering, if i eg. make chmod -R 777 /path/to/directory and change file permissions, do these permissions 'stay' if I transfer files to ftp server? | 21:50 |
| ziro` | how should i set an environment variable to used under sudo? | 21:50 |
| alaing | My server reckons it already has samba | 21:50 |
| Dr_Willis | jonas_: it can depend on the servers settings/seucrity settings | 21:50 |
| hiexpo | jonas_, depends | 21:51 |
| alaing | Lord_Rahl: my server suggests it already has samba on it | 21:51 |
| jonas_ | Okay, I tried to make 777 in a files, when i transfer the file to ftp using filezilla and right click for permissions, it tells me: numeric value: xxx | 21:52 |
| pradeep | jonas_, it depends but most times it does not... is your ftp server linux based | 21:52 |
| pradeep | ? | 21:52 |
| opengeard | ziro`: sudo runs something as root. do you want a variable to be system-wide or root, temporary or permanent? | 21:52 |
| pradeep | jonas_, cant you change on the webserver | 21:52 |
| ziro` | perm and i don't care :) | 21:52 |
| samd | jonas_, as everyone says, it depends, but in my experience most servers change permissions to 755 | 21:53 |
| ziro` | just root probably | 21:53 |
| kcorcoran | when i perform grep 1394 /var/log/kern.log nothing appears; however when i run lspci i can see my 1394 firewire card - any ideas? | 21:53 |

| Lemmiwinks | Does anybody know which package installs the two files nautilus-computer.desktop and nautilus-folder-handler.desktop found in /usr/share/applications? | 22:03 |

| billybigrigger | pradeep, what if i want to whitelist 192.168.10.0 ? | 22:06 |
| billybigrigger | still use /24? | 22:06 |
| brontoeee | Spaztic_One, no idea, but possibly check winetricks | 22:07 |
| pradeep | billybigrigger, that means 192.168.0/24 | 22:07 |
| Lemmiwinks | sam-_-, seems to be nautilus itself, but as i already reinstalled it, it does not solve my problem: when I log in, nautilus won't be started, so I have no desktop icons until I start it manually | 22:08 |
| pradeep | billybigrigger, sorry 192.168.10.0/24 | 22:08 |
| billybigrigger | pradeep, so how do i specify xxx.xxx.xxx.0 | 22:08 |
| Spaztic_One | brontoeee: I don't think it would have something to do with winetricks as I get that message in terminal even when running winecfg | 22:08 |
| madsj | can someone tell me if tlmgr (TeXLive >= 2008) is available in Ubuntu 10.10? | 22:08 |

| brontoeee | Spaztic_One, yeah and i realized that i shouldnt support wine really | 22:09 |
| pradeep | billybigrigger, it means 192.168.10.0-254 | 22:09 |

| Irreducibilis | Of course, now I have another question. | 22:10 |
| Irreducibilis | Why does ettercap, without fail, become unresponsive as soon as I select whether I want unified or bridged sniffing, prompting me to force-close it? | 22:10 |
| brontoeee | a funny one: the mac pro with osx snow leopard seems to think that my little ubuntu 10.10 asus is bluetooth audio device :D, how would i prevent that? | 22:10 |
| sam-_- | Lemmiwinks, hmm. you can put it in startup applications. this workaround shouldn't be necessary though. | 22:11 |
| Irreducibilis | Is this a ubuntu issue or should I ask them? | 22:11 |
| DimaV | I have a system running ubuntu server 10.10 on one hard drive with LVM. I just popped in a 2nd hard drive into the machine and would like to move the entire installation to it. What's the simplest way to do this using CLI? | 22:13 |
| samd | Irreducibilis, i've had the same problem, and ive seen ettercap working on other distros, maybe packing issues or something, you could try downloading ettercap from an external source (not the repositories). Asking them wont hurt neither | 22:13 |
| Lemmiwinks | sam-_-, this would open a nautilus window on startup which is annoying, trying it with dpkg-reconfigure nautilus now once more | 22:14 |

| Otani | anyone here run XBMC? | 22:35 |
| soreau | ! anyone | Otani | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Otani: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:35 |
| Otani | when i run XBMC in fullscreen, it captures my mouse. i have 2 displays. a 40" hdtv, and a 24" LCD. i run XBMC on the HDTV, and the mouse pointer wont leave XBMC | 22:36 |
| dyrnade | hi all | 22:36 |
| Otani | xbmc in windows has an option called "fake full screen" which looks fullscreen, but doesnt actually capture the mouse. how do i do something like that in linux? | 22:37 |
| SwedeMike | Otani: perhaps that's more appropriate to ask in the xbmc channels. | 22:37 |
| soreau | Otani: You would have to run it in windowed mode and tell your window manager to size it to fit the window as if it were fullscreen | 22:37 |
| Lemmiwinks | sam-_-, removed the wohle gconf gnome-session folder, but still no luck. checked again with the other account, which works as expected. | 22:37 |
| Otani | well, i tried setting it to windowed, but it wont let me specify a resolution to run at. so its really small windowed | 22:38 |
| dyrnade | who knows a program like Internet Download Manager for ubuntu? | 22:38 |
| Otani | ill do as SwedeMike says and ask in the xbmc channel | 22:38 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:47 |

| khem_ | anyone here had any success installing Ubuntu on a Macbook 7,1? | 22:54 |
| rami1983 | thanks erUSUL but the problem is that some programs still use the internal soundcard | 22:54 |
| soreau | Otani: When you use windowed mode, you can resize the window. In compiz, you can tell it what size and place to start the xbmc window so you can have it where you want | 22:54 |
| bweb | I want to install a the tool zim via ppa…https://launchpad.net/zim…now I tried about 20 minutes to find out what is the right syntax of adding it with add-apt-repository…Where I can find the "heading that reads Adding this PPA to your system" (ref. https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware)? | 22:54 |
| lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT | is there a package list of packages that come on the installation cd/installed by default, or can someone tell me if gcc/make are installed by default? | 22:54 |
| erUSUL | rami1983: what programs? maybe you have to configure them tu use pulseaudio? | 22:54 |
| Otani | soreau, im not talking compiz+xbmc | 22:55 |
| bazhang | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT, you need to install build-essential | 22:55 |
| erUSUL | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT: no; compiler is not installed by default | 22:55 |
| Otani | just compiz itself. im trying to get a cube rotation for desktops. its not working though | 22:55 |
| EvilPhoenix | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT: first off your nick is crazy long, and afaik gcc/make isnt installed by default | 22:55 |
| lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT | alright, thanks. is there a way to download build-essential as a zip of .deb's with all the dependencies bundled in? (for installation to offline machine) | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | !offline | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT | 22:56 |
| ubottu | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 22:56 |
| rami1983 | erUSUL: what is the deference betwen alsa and pulsaudio? | 22:56 |
| bazhang | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT, aptoncd | 22:56 |
| soreau | Otani: If you want xbmc to behave a different way, ask in #xbmc or disable the mouse and use keyboard or remote | 22:56 |
| Otani | i hate to be disrespectful, but are you not looking at my replies? | 22:57 |
| lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT | thanks ubottu and bazhang | 22:57 |
| Otani | i said im talking about compiz ALONE. this has nothing to do with xbmc. | 22:57 |
| bazhang | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT, ubottu is a bot | 22:57 |
| erUSUL | rami1983: PA works on top of alsa ( alsa are the kernel sound drivers + userspace lib ) some programs may be using alsa directly that's why the PA config does not affect them | 22:57 |
| erUSUL | rami1983: and that's why it is better that all programs if possible use PA directly | 22:58 |

| hdtdi | brontoeee, yes i have these | 22:59 |
| Otani | soreau, yes, i need to get used to that, sorry/ | 23:00 |
| erUSUL | Otani: you have to drag for the cube to rotate ... tried « crtl + alt + ← → » ? | 23:00 |
| Otani | i did | 23:00 |
| bazhang | hdtdi, disable compiz? | 23:00 |
| brontoeee | hdtdi, what kind of mov it is? video codec? | 23:00 |
| Otani | this isnt my first time using compiz. | 23:00 |
| soreau | Otani: Ok for cube.. | 23:00 |
| soreau | Otani: Make sure both 'Desktop Cube' and 'Rotate Cube' are enabled in !ccsm. Then, in General Options --> Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4. Then you can grab the desktop with control+alt+left-mouse-button, and drag the cube around, or rotate the cube with control+alt+left/right. | 23:01 |

| hdtdi | lOoOoOoOoOoNgCaT, i think you have to mount it yourself if you haven't wrote anything to fstab | 23:02 |
| erUSUL | rami1983: hard to tell... may be a kernel bug. you can try to install newer sound drivers and see if helps. « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(lsbrelease -cs)-generic » | 23:02 |
| soreau | Otani: What is the output of 'ps ax|grep compiz'? | 23:02 |

| PAPI | Can anybody help me? | 23:20 |
| KM0201 | !anyone | PAPI | 23:20 |
| ubottu | PAPI: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:20 |
| guntbert | WeThePeople: it was off topic in this channel | 23:20 |
| soreau | ! help | PAPI | 23:20 |
| ubottu | PAPI: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:20 |

| matlock | KM0201; yea, considering i can play mp3's with every other program than amarok | 23:26 |
| KM0201 | matlock: exactly | 23:26 |
| bencahill | PAPI: whoa, have you tried a fresh ff profile? it should fly with that | 23:26 |
| guri | NixGeek: yeah | 23:27 |
| sam-_- | guri, you have to use the outside ip of the router then | 23:27 |
| sam-_- | guri, not the one of your computer | 23:27 |
| NixGeek | guri: can you access it from inside the network? | 23:27 |

| PAPI | Can anybody else help me? | 23:32 |
| KM0201 | sam-_-: i think its supposed to mean your mom does nothing for you, while doing things for him... it is pretty stupid.. he's probablyabout 10-11 and thinks its funny | 23:32 |
| AeSix | Will Ubuntu Server 10.04 connect to the network automatically on power-up, or do I need to log in every time it comes up? | 23:32 |
| guri | NixGeek: its many how to i find that? | 23:33 |
| sam-_-_ | KM0201, i thought that for a second but then thought: no that can't be it... oh well | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | sam-_-_: lol | 23:33 |
| WeThePeople | papi, what is the prob with the browsers | 23:34 |
| guri | NixGeek: I'm running netstat, when I do a search, it doesnt find apache | 23:34 |
| Ademan | AeSix: what type of network? wired, yes. Wireless, yes if you configure it to | 23:34 |
| AeSix | Yes, wired, and Thank You Ademan. | 23:34 |
| PAPI | WeThePeople: opera an firefox takes too much to open a web page, but chrome works well | 23:35 |
| NixGeek | guri: one sec | 23:35 |
| AeSix | Ademan - I had it on wireless before, and that was a headache and a half. LOL Thank You again for the info. I'll get to installing in a few minutes then :D | 23:35 |
| WeThePeople | papi, so there is no problem... | 23:35 |
| Ademan | AeSix: hehe yeah I'm trying to configure my server to connect to wifi with a USB adapter, it's HORRIBLE... (I think the problem is WPA, but whatever) | 23:36 |
| guri | NixGeek: okey | 23:36 |
| PAPI | WeThePeople: why not in win 7 they works very much better | 23:36 |
| AeSix | Ademan - yeah, I had to turn off all wireless authentication, get it working, and then turn on authentication | 23:37 |
| NixGeek | guri: try sudo netstat --tcp --udp --listening --program | 23:37 |
| guri | NixGeek: tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 8742/apache2 | 23:38 |
| AeSix | Ademan - there is a page on the ubuntu forums that descibes how to do it, but some of the info is either outdated or pertains only to some installs. Good luck though! | 23:38 |
| NixGeek | guri: run this and post output netstat -n | grep :80 | 23:38 |
| Ademan | AeSix: thanks :-) yeah I've tried just about everything I've read... :-/ | 23:39 |
| BluesKaj | Ademan, USB wifi adapters are terrible o ubuntu , especially the ralink | 23:39 |

| KM0201 | BluesKaj: i believe it is an RT2780 | 23:40 |
| Drule | Why was I invited into a channel | 23:40 |
| AeSix | Ademan - it is possible, You have to remove network-manager though, and set up the stuff in the guts of the OS isntead :S | 23:40 |
| Drule | and asked if I were a spambot | 23:40 |
| AeSix | Drule - are you a spam bot? | 23:40 |
| twobitsprite | is there a way to trim down the graphics on ubuntu netbook? The new version has some animations which are very slow on my netbook and I can't figure out how to turn them off | 23:40 |
| AeSix | LOL | 23:40 |
| Ademan | KM0201: that's exactly what I have! | 23:40 |
| AeSix | twobitsprite - install the xubuntu package :D | 23:40 |
| KM0201 | Ademan: i'd have to double check the chipset on it.. but i know when i plug it in, it just works, no questions asked. | 23:40 |
| Ademan | are you using network manager or /etc/network/interfaces ? | 23:41 |
| schnuffle | twobitsprite: you can use the old 2d desktop launcher | 23:41 |
| Drule | AeSix yes. Do you want to buy some v1agra? | 23:41 |
| twobitsprite | AeSix: does it have a netbook-friendly interface | 23:41 |
| KM0201 | Ademan: just network manager.. i plug it in, about 5sec later, it picks up networks, i choose mine and log on | 23:41 |
| twobitsprite | schnuffle: how do I do that? | 23:41 |
| earwigs | twobitsprite: right click on background > change background > visual effects | 23:42 |
| Ademan | KM0201: ah, yeah that probably works, unfortunately I have to configure it by hand (actually: /etc/network/interfaces has been super easy to use in the past, even with wpa, just not with this adapter for whatever reason...) | 23:42 |
| AeSix | twobitsprite - I believe so, but you can always check out the screenshots to see... and you can alaways change back to gnome/kde at login. | 23:42 |
| schnuffle | twobitsprite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuNetbookEdition/ConvertGnomeSession | 23:42 |
| AeSix | Drule - No thanks, I'd only hurt myself on that :( | 23:42 |
| KM0201 | Ademan: i dunno, it just works... thats all i can really ask for, is to plug it in, and connect to my network | 23:42 |
| Ademan | yeah I've got to just bang my head against this more I suppose | 23:42 |
| twobitsprite | earwigs: I don't think the netbook edition has a "background" in that sense... I click on the main launcher screen, and get nothing | 23:43 |
| earwigs | twobitsprite: weird O_O | 23:43 |
| AeSix | Ademan, I had to use /etc/network/interfaces - and another file I can't think of atm :( | 23:43 |
| schnuffle | Ademan: /etc/resolv.conf | 23:44 |
| miniman | howdy | 23:44 |

| miniman | Anyone know if the ATI 6950 has driver support in 10.10 desktop? | 23:45 |
| BluesKaj | KM0201, Belkin F5D8053N here ... hasn't worked since jaunty , even ndiswrapper doesn't help | 23:45 |
| AeSix | Ademan - hope ya figure it out, but it'll probbaly be easier to buy a cheapy wireless router, toss dd-wrt on it, and use it in bridged mode | 23:45 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: really?... mine is a Belkin F5D8050 | 23:45 |
| sam-_-_ | miniman, not by the restricted driver but the open source one: yes | 23:46 |
| edbian | miniman: Try it out on the live CD | 23:46 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: u using 32 or 64bit | 23:46 |

| kaspharm | hi, anyone using macbuntu? | 23:47 |
| twobitsprite | schnuffle: ok, I think that put me on the right track, thanks | 23:47 |
| AeSix | BluesKaj - F5D8053v4 worked for me... had to install some stuff, but it worked. | 23:47 |

| ubottu | selim: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:48 |
| selim | First, i'm sorry, my english isn't really good | 23:48 |
| sam-_-_ | miniman, hmm http://linux.die.net/man/4/radeon your card isn't listed here. | 23:49 |
| sam-_-_ | miniman, i guess your stuck with the vesa driver | 23:49 |
| BluesKaj | KM0201, , it's not that I need it right now, but Iplan on moving the pc to my music rooom and cat5/6 is oiut of the qustion since that room isn't wired up | 23:49 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: i see... this is the one i have.... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3173666 | 23:49 |
| selim | Ok. I wanted to try kubuntu, so i tiped sudo pat-get install kubuntu-desktop, but now it is really annoying me ! and i can't delete it :( | 23:49 |
| KM0201 | BluesKaj: i just checked my order history, and thats the one i ordered | 23:50 |
| edbian | selim: sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop | 23:50 |
| schnuffle | BluesKaj: whats about powerlan | 23:50 |
| Irreducibilis | I'm worried about the implications of upcoming Ubuntu releases. Will we be forced to switch to Unity in favor of GNOME? I like GNOME. | 23:50 |
| === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy | ||
| edbian | Irreducibilis: You will never be forced out of gnome | 23:50 |
| selim | Thanks !!! Remove doesn't work :(' I'm gonna try this and i let you know | 23:50 |
| KM0201 | edbian: won't he have to uninstall all those kde applications one by one? | 23:50 |
| BluesKaj | KM0201, I was hoping km yup looks exactly the same | 23:50 |
| Irreducibilis | edbian, Okay good. I was afraid I'd have to switch to Debian. | 23:50 |
| sburjan` | hello. I am getting a kernel Panic when using LiveCd from ubuntu. Is someone here able to help me ? I have also a screenshot | 23:50 |
| edbian | KM0201: I believe so | 23:51 |
| rww | Irreducibilis: Nope. 1) Unity is just a shell on top of GNOME. GNOME is still there. 2) There's an option on the login screen to use gnome-panel instead. | 23:51 |
| edbian | Irreducibilis: Of course not. | 23:51 |
| KM0201 | edbian: i thought so. | 23:51 |
| kaspharm | i have got problem with macbuntu, every compiz effect works fine except close and open window animation - anyone know how to fix this bug? | 23:51 |
| KM0201 | edbian: thats why i just use live cd's/usb's to try different GUIs | 23:51 |
| edbian | KM0201: clever | 23:51 |
| BluesKaj | ok bbl , I'll see if the thing will work with network manager | 23:52 |
| selim | It didn't worked :( | 23:53 |
| selim | It says removing kubuntu-desktop, but i've installed 550mb, and it removed only 56kb | 23:55 |
| rww | !kubuntu-desktop | 23:56 |
| ubottu | k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 23:56 |
| rww | i.e., removing it doesn't remove any actual programs. | 23:56 |
| rww | Thanks to the occasionally-problematic way Ubuntu handles metapackages by default, removing one marks all its depends as manually installed, so they won't be automatically removed. | 23:57 |
| selim | So i need to upgrade kubuntu to delete it ? | 23:58 |
| selim | Sorry, i don't really speak english | 23:58 |
| schnuffle | selim: try removing kdelibs, this will remove nearly everything kdebased | 23:58 |
| rww | selim: If you'd prefer to use another language, we have language-specific channels available. Tell me the language and I'll point you to the right one. | 23:59 |
