| sonata | ilovefairuz: I'm using it to boot to "HDDHACKR" to install a different firmware onto the disk. There is a FreeDOS folder in here as well, but it's a folder and not an ISO. | 00:00 |
| EvilSush1 | sam-_-: if he needs 2.7 and its not in the repos, why not? | 00:00 |
| purpley123 | ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/Lbax4uGT | 00:00 |
| ilovefairuz | sonata: check the freedos wiki on how to make a bootable usb | 00:00 |
| sam-_- | EvilSush1, has even has it installed already | 00:00 |
| sam-_- | EvilSush1, *has = he | 00:01 |
| dsnyders | I want to substitute a space in the filenames with 0. Eg: Season 1 becomes Season01/ | 00:01 |

| dizital | EvilSush1: yes | 00:03 |
| jacko | bulk rename is mv source dest | 00:03 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: do a sudo iwlist ra0 scan | 00:03 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: and grep for the essid you want to connect to, can you see it? | 00:03 |

| EvilSush1 | dizital: alright try this.. sudo ifconfig ra0 down | 00:04 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:04 |
| sam-_- | EvilSush1, no need to use sudo with iwlist scan (nerdalert. i know.) | 00:04 |
| purpley123 | ilovefairuz, Looks like there are no errors, it looks as though it extracted a lot of things | 00:04 |
| vonvon | i not delete folder | 00:04 |
| EvilSush1 | sam-_-: heh i dunno man im new to ubuntu =)( | 00:05 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: then sudo ifconfig essid "the essid you want" | 00:05 |
| vonvon | folder have permission owner root | 00:05 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: err | 00:05 |
| ilovefairuz | purpley123: now try this again: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 00:05 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: sudo ifconfig ra0 up | 00:05 |
| sam-_- | EvilSush1, should be the same in other distros i think. | 00:06 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: then sudo ifconfig essid "the essid you want" | 00:06 |
| kas | used sdparm to disable sleep on the drive | 00:06 |

| jacko | if root owned be careful but ......................... sudo xterm ........................................ be VERY CAREFUL | 00:06 |
| EvilSush1 | sam-_-: not every distro uses sudo | 00:06 |

| g11992 | yeat:http://paste.ubuntu.com/554903/ | 00:07 |

| dizital | when i type in the essid it gives me, error fetching interface information: device not found even though it came up on the scan | 00:07 |
| g11992 | yeat: are you there sir? | 00:08 |
| EvilSush1 | dizital: these are the commands you need to get it working. iwlist , iwconfig , dhclient, ifconfig.. Make sure your networking device is up.. Does it have any encryption? If so you need wpa-supplicant | 00:09 |
| yeats | g11992: yep | 00:09 |

| Roasted | Zoresvit, have you actually cranked up the volume on say, a live concert, and watched it on VLC? | 00:13 |
| EvilSush1 | ssbpls: ls -lah /home/user/ whats the permissions on the .ICEauthority file? | 00:14 |
| sam-_- | Roasted, i don't have the problem. but you could try setting a higher buffer and selecting a different audio output driver | 00:14 |
| Roasted | sam-_-, how do you set a higher buffer? | 00:14 |
| ssbpls | there is no .ICEauthority file | 00:14 |
| sam-_- | Roasted, is the file on the network or local? | 00:14 |
| Daniel | Gah I'm going nuts... can't mount this bloody drive (internal SATA, 250G, NTFS), Ubuntu recognised it at first, no problems, then I moved around SATA ports, then I installed Win7 (seperate new drive) and it won't mount... et al :(. I can access it in Win7 but, says no errors. Ubuntu says "File system NOT clean", and refuses to mount, but can see it in the manager... | 00:14 |
| Roasted | sam-_-, local | 00:14 |
| jacko | /etc/mount or /etc/mnt | 00:15 |
| EvilSush1 | ssbpls: uhh then try touching it and make sure it has your owner and 644 permissions | 00:15 |
| sam-_- | Roasted, then access modules -> file | 00:15 |
| sam-_- | Roasted, there is sth. called caching value | 00:15 |
| ilovefairuz | Daniel: boot to windows and "disk check" that drive | 00:15 |
| Roasted | sam-_-, access modules - file? | 00:15 |
| Zoresvit | Roasted: Not live concerts, but .mkv movies. everything seemed to be fine | 00:15 |
| Daniel | In windows atm, just did chkdsk, not a problem | 00:16 |
| Roasted | Zoresvit, good to know. one of my concerts is an MKV... | 00:16 |
| ilovefairuz | Daniel: ok then, boot back into ubuntu | 00:16 |
| Daniel | k... brb :P | 00:16 |
| yeats | g11992: not sure it matters for the error you posted... it's a package manager error that doesn't have much to do with connectivity | 00:16 |

| ilovefairuz | pgpkeys: the credit is ubottu's :) | 01:17 |
| pgpkeys | ilovefairuz: you knew the trigger :) | 01:18 |
| induz | soreau, it says YamiPod for linux uses FMODEx (http://www.fmod.org), a cross platform audio library | 01:18 |
| induz | I downloaded and extracted the file but unable to install | 01:18 |
| ilovefairuz | atxq: it's usually implemented within the audio player/software itself | 01:18 |
| atxq | I want to ajust the audio in firefox | 01:18 |
| EOF-sensei | I don't care how little you know about ubuntu, just point me to the right place | 01:18 |
| pgpkeys | EOF-sensei: basically the point is you're not going to get unstable help in here | 01:18 |
| induz | is there any s/w to install .tar.gz files | 01:19 |
| atxq | I need to ajust the audio in a live stream ustream/justin.tv | 01:19 |
| pgpkeys | the channel is for the official release. see the natty mailing lists for help relating to the unstable development version | 01:19 |
| induz | archieve manager is not capable | 01:19 |
| aeon-ltd | induz: not directly, in a one step way | 01:19 |
| atxq | unfortunately I cannot open it inside a player like vlc | 01:19 |
| induz | how can the> | 01:19 |
| yeats | !tar | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 01:19 |
| atxq | so since it is inside the broswer, I wanted an equalizer to ajust the system line-in audio | 01:19 |
| nyRednek | yeah, i want something simple | 01:20 |
| nyRednek | i used xv on slackware, but obviously, that package doesn't exist on ubuntu | 01:20 |
| induz | I mean they write s/w on tar.gz extension and dont have a single program to install on a way | 01:20 |
| tulimaq | heya,is there any good M$ Autoroute alternative for ubuntu out there ? | 01:20 |
| atxq | ubuntu needs a default eqalizer to ajust the sound | 01:20 |
| pgpkeys | induz: no they dont write software on tar.gz. its a COMPRESSION format | 01:20 |
| nyRednek | induz: they package source code in a tar.gz | 01:20 |

| induz | aeon-ltd, How can i install this tar.gz files which i downloaed | 01:20 |
| R0b0t1 | Hello, I am unable to connect to my hidden wireless network. When I attempt to connect, I am prompted for the encryption type. I enter this and the key correctly, but the widget in charge of connecting fails. There is no error message, it just prompts me again. | 01:20 |
| nyRednek | induz: and you can *always* build it | 01:21 |
| semitones | Hey guys I'm sorry but it looks like I'm in a difficult spot... when I boot into Ubuntu, i'm taken to the CLI. GDM says it's already running, but in F8 all I see is a blinking cursor | 01:21 |
| === A_GUI_Booger is now known as Substream_AI | ||
| pgpkeys | induz: you extract the file using file-roller or tar and then rfollow the readme | 01:21 |
| semitones | I'm not sure what to do from here | 01:21 |

| induz | nyRednek, Readme doesnt say much | 01:21 |
| nyRednek | induz: try ./configure | 01:21 |
| induz | nyRednek, what is that?? | 01:21 |
| nyRednek | induz: then, i don't know...make? | 01:21 |
| pgpkeys | it will tell you step by step how to build ing. usually ./configure && make && make install | 01:22 |
| nyRednek | induz: delete ubuntu and reinstall windows xp...you are obviously lacking the intellect to do basic unix software admin | 01:22 |
| pgpkeys | induz: i would suggest a bit of googling for autotools autoconf configure and make | 01:22 |
| induz | nyRednek, what is ./configure | 01:22 |
| jacko | there should be a c farts directory which gets filled with all symlinks to all libraries, and then cc would work out the box... | 01:22 |
| induz | nyRednek, i am learning | 01:22 |
| * nyRednek waits for kickban | 01:23 | |

| induz | nyRednek, I was on Xp and now i am on Lucid | 01:23 |
| pgpkeys | *sigh* and of course he's going to ignore me since he wants hand holding | 01:23 |
| induz | pgpkeys, I tried the apt-get way too | 01:23 |
| ssbpls | today i come up to a problem, when i login the system something wrong happened: could not find the .ICEauthority file. And i have found out the reason that the "/home/ssbpls" is encrypted . And i also find out that the login password and the decrypted is deferent . And how can i login the system with the file decrypted? | 01:23 |
| pgpkeys | induz: do what i told you | 01:24 |

| preecher | i am using ubuntu 10.10--i have installed ndiswrapper common and ndsi utili ---now i need to install wireless drivers--i have the drivers but dont know how to manually install them | 01:27 |
| thiebaude | #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:27 |
| thiebaude | ub3rst4r, | 01:27 |
| jacko | induz: xterm then ls and cd to get there try man ls and man cd and ./name.bin when you in right directory containing name.bin | 01:27 |
| ub3rst4r | thiebaude a meant just a general offtopic channel | 01:27 |
| tulimaq | semitones, hm interesting and it worked before or its a fresh install ? | 01:27 |

| MrKeuner | histo, is it possible to do a setup: an encrypted file, when clicked on it password is asked for mounting it. I'll be able to see/modify the contents | 01:27 |
| semitones | tulimaq, it's worked before -- I did just change the gfx card though | 01:28 |
| MrKeuner | histo, sorry wrong tab completion | 01:28 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, how can i run it/ | 01:28 |
| Thopter | ilovefairuz: thanks for the devilspie link... though I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere so that the window will only maximize to set limits when the maximize button is clicked | 01:28 |
| semitones | do you think that's what happened? | 01:28 |
| MrKeuner | histo, is it possible to do a setup: an encrypted file, when clicked on it password is asked for mounting it. I'll be able to see/modify the contents | 01:28 |
| MrKeuner | hello, is it possible to do a setup: an encrypted file, when clicked on it password is asked for mounting it. I'll be able to see/modify the contents | 01:28 |
| Thopter | i.e. how can I "trick" the windows into thinking that the taskbar is x pixels thicker than it really is | 01:28 |
| jacko | indus: q exits man | 01:28 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: what are the file names inside that directory ? | 01:28 |
| tulimaq | semitones, ok i see, maybe u should try to reconfure Xserver ? | 01:29 |
| ilovefairuz | Thopter: you can do it with a devilspie script, did you check the link? | 01:29 |
| Thopter | yep, I looked at it, and several other sites about it. It seems to only apply to individual windows as they are created, instead of a global setting affecting all windows the same | 01:30 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, hold on please let me figure it out where i downloaded it | 01:30 |
| semitones | tulimaq, alright, i'll give that a shot | 01:31 |
| Blueleaf | how does one remote desktop to a windows machine? | 01:31 |
| preecher | i have installed ndsiwrapper and i have downloaded my wireless drivers but i dont know how to insta | 01:31 |

| Sunsp0t | Can someone recommend the most user-friendly remote desktop solution for Ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| Sunsp0t | Windows 7 actually has a very simple one - I was wondering if there was something equally as convenient for Ubuntu. | 01:33 |
| semitones | is there a new way to "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or is that still what you do when X doesn't work | 01:33 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: right click on yam-linux.tar.gz, select extract here, then enter that folder, and click on YamiPod | 01:33 |
| robby | I am a complete n00b at linux, so i need some help with a problem im having. some please pm me | 01:34 |
| tulimaq | Sunsp0t, teamviewer.com is easy to use | 01:34 |
| ilovefairuz | semitones: Xorg autoconfigures itself at unless you manually generate an xorg.conf file | 01:34 |
| semitones | robby, what seems to be the problem | 01:34 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | robby | 01:34 |
| ubottu | robby: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 01:34 |
| semitones | ilovefairuz, ok, so I'll just back up and delete it :D | 01:34 |
| robby | ok i just installed xubuntu 10.10, and i know its not a resoluton problem, but i cant figure it out | 01:35 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, it says Could not open the file archive://file%253A%252F….tar.gz/yam-linux/YamiPod | 01:35 |
| robby | the screen (desktop) is off center, and the windows arer cut off and partially showing on the right side, and also the mouse has to be above watever im clicking. | 01:35 |
| Blueleaf | i need to know how to connect to my business computers which run windows | 01:36 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: right click on the file yam-linux.tar.gz in the FILE MANAGER and select extract here.. you should get a new folder named just yam-linux | 01:36 |

| ilovefairuz | Blueleaf: try Vino? | 01:37 |
| Blueleaf | vino? | 01:37 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, yes i got a new folder and but.. | 01:37 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: inside of it there's a file called YamiPod, right? | 01:38 |
| induz | ilove yes | 01:38 |
| jacko | Blueleaf: what does your network folderlook like in the file browser? | 01:38 |
| ilovefairuz | Blueleaf: it's a viewer for accessing remote window desktops | 01:38 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, yes | 01:38 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: so click on it, anything happens? | 01:38 |
| fermulator | Blueleaf: i think gnome-rdp is the best | 01:38 |
| Blueleaf | i will look for it | 01:38 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, when i click that file it says Could not open the file archive://file%253A%252F….tar.gz/yam-linux/YamiPod | 01:38 |
| tulimaq | Blueleaf, teamviewer.com is probaly simplest way to do it .. works with firewalls also | 01:38 |
| Blueleaf | is it easy to set up? | 01:39 |
| drahx | using Samba, I was able to access 4/5 of my shared folders, but only on 1 machine, I restarted that machine and now cannot access any of my folders on any machine. | 01:39 |

| drahx | good morning | 01:39 |
| tulimaq | Blueleaf, yes | 01:39 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: are you clicking inside the file manager? not the small window | 01:39 |
| fermulator | Sunsp0t: gnome-rdp is good, the best solution is using "rdesktop" from the command line | 01:39 |
| jacko | smb sucks, whats the nfs manager like now adays | 01:39 |
| induz | file manager ilovefairuz | 01:40 |
| ilovefairuz | Blueleaf: my bad, vino is a server not a viewer, i mixed them up | 01:40 |
| fermulator | Sunsp0t: i.e. "rdesktop -u <username> -d <domain> -z -x m -f -a 16 -0 -T <title_name> <ip_address_to_connect_to>" | 01:40 |
| jacko | file browserin gnome on title bar isfilemanager | 01:40 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, its under my /home directory | 01:40 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: take screenshot | 01:40 |
| drahx | I would give up on samba if I thought I could install Openssh, but one look into the installation instructions shows I'm way to much of a noob for that. | 01:41 |
| semitones | robby -- is it like the screen is too big for the monitor? | 01:41 |
| fermulator | drahx: suggest configuring samba server w/ "Webmin", it's way easier to deal with | 01:41 |
| semitones | robby? | 01:42 |
| ilovefairuz | drahx: sudo apt-get install openssh-server .. and it's done | 01:42 |

| stealthc_ | is there a way that I can forcefully resize a fat32 file system to having 0 free space? (to get dd to be efficient) | 01:42 |
| robby | semitones: i know its not a resolution problem, but i really dont know how to explain it. its like the desktop is to big, not the screen itself. | 01:42 |
| fermulator | can Windows machines access the server w/ openssh-server? | 01:42 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, http://i.imgur.com/35lDI.png | 01:42 |
| semitones | robby, yes! that definitely happened to me once, and I was able to fix it | 01:42 |
| fermulator | If you're running a mixed OS network (Windows/Mac/Linux/Unix), samba is the way to go | 01:42 |
| semitones | but i'm not sure -- let me run a quick search | 01:43 |
| Scunizi | What command do I use on cli to find out the size of / and how much is used? in human readable format? | 01:43 |
| robby | kk | 01:43 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: show me the error that pops when you click the YamiPod file | 01:43 |
| stealthc_ | command line only -- I don't want api for this, I thought resize2fs -f /dev/sda5 620M would work but fails | 01:43 |
| ilovefairuz | Scunizi: du -h .. perhaps with --max-depth | 01:44 |
| ilovefairuz | man du | 01:44 |
| semitones | robby, ok it looks like the first step is to get the right graphics driver | 01:44 |
| Scunizi | thanks ilovefairuz | 01:44 |
| semitones | robby, what happened when you tried? | 01:44 |
| robby | i have a nvidia gforce 4 | 01:44 |
| fermulator | Scunizi: "df -h /" or "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /" | 01:44 |
| stealthc_ | Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc1 | 01:44 |
| stealthc_ | Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. | 01:44 |
| robby | semitones: where do i find the correct driver? i looked, but couldnt find it. | 01:45 |
| semitones | robby, the thing to do is go to System>Administration>Additional Drivers | 01:45 |
| semitones | robby, and see what the program suggests | 01:45 |
| Scunizi | fermulator: that worked much better.. it shows I have 9.7g and 8.3 used.. now how do I identify what's taking all that space? | 01:45 |
| fermulator | Scunizi: "disk usage analyzer" is a great graphical tool that comes with ubuntu | 01:46 |
| Scunizi | fermulator: yes.. however I'm on kubuntu | 01:46 |
| fermulator | Scunizi: Menu --> Accessories --> Disk Usage Analayzer | 01:46 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, now its doing nothing when i click on it | 01:47 |
| fermulator | Scunizi: the binary is called "baobab" | 01:47 |
| hasee__ | i | 01:47 |
| hasee__ | hi | 01:47 |
| fermulator | Scunizi: if you can't install that in Kubuntu, then use "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /", and traverse recursively. | 01:47 |
| ilovefairuz | induz: open a terminal, and type: cd yam-linux; ./YamiPond | 01:47 |
| H3r0 | can someone help me? | 01:47 |
| Scunizi | fermulator: I think kdirstat is the kde version | 01:47 |
| H3r0 | I don't know why can't I hibernate my pc | 01:47 |
| robby | semitones: it says i have a nvidia accelerated graphics driver, but still have the same problem, and cant play any games (ie: open arena) | 01:48 |
| fermulator | Scunizi: i.e. run it on "/". Find the largest directory., re-run again on "/LargestDir", find the largest dir in "LargestDir", re-run again on "/LargestDir/2ndLargestDir", etc. | 01:48 |
| robby | semitones: i can open the games, but they wont play correctly. very choppy | 01:48 |
| H3r0 | when I trun on my pc from hibernate I got black screen | 01:48 |

| wingnut2626 | Hi guys. I have a question about audio formats. Is it possible to change a mp3 file into a wma file? And if so, how would I go about doing it. | 02:04 |
| induz | ilovefairuz, thanks a lot and i learnt a lot | 02:05 |
| Sunsp0t | red2kic, You are right! However, Sabayon aims to be the best of both worlds by offering, in essence, an Ubuntu-like overlay with a package manager. The problem is, when things break, I'm f*cked. | 02:05 |
| BufferUnderpants | I ask because there was a tutorial for lucid back then, but I didn't have much success with it. | 02:05 |
| IdleOne | semitones: install nvidia-current, reboot and see if that helps. | 02:05 |

| Sunsp0t | I must say, though, that Sabayon is a very, very beautifully done distro - many of your would LOVE it. It's OOTB functionality is better than Ubuntu and it handles compiz far more smoothly. | 02:06 |

| bfreis | Dammit, the automatic removal of Kubuntu won't work! | 02:11 |
| robby | semitones: what is the exact code i type in because that didnt work | 02:12 |
| Bing0 | jimisrvrox, try removing/renaming your xorg.conf, reboot and let it reset | 02:12 |
| IdleOne | semitones: he may not have aptitude installed, it doesn't install by default anymore | 02:12 |
| jayd3e | doesn virtualenv create a new python interpreter? | 02:13 |
| semitones | robby, oh, in that case | 02:13 |
| jayd3e | or does it link to the one it is run from | 02:13 |
| bfreis | The information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome does not work for me. | 02:13 |

| ^Phantom^ | Also, how can I wipe the drive deeply? | 02:19 |
| jacko | ^Phantom^: yes | 02:19 |
| Bing0 | ^Phantom^, NTFS is a partition scheme, not a drive scheme but...yes you can :) | 02:19 |
| ^Phantom^ | I want to wipe this drive good | 02:19 |
| ^Phantom^ | There's a virus on it | 02:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | that really effed up its os | 02:20 |
| semitones | IdleOne, yeah, because if he's using the binary driver, the monitor menu option doesn't work | 02:20 |
| robby | idleone: there is no preferneces under system | 02:20 |
| red2kic | edrahn: I'm looking at few possible solutions. Did you fsck your hard drive? (I used "ubuntu, no init found, solved" for google) | 02:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Bing0, actually NTFS is a file-system, separate from partitioning | 02:20 |
| sacarlson | edrahn: does that mean you don't get as far as grub? I think you chose the wrong device to install your mbr try /dev/sda | 02:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | but the computer it was originally in has a toasted mobo | 02:20 |
| Bing0 | ^Phantom^, you should be good to go using ubuntu live cd for that | 02:20 |
| edrahn | red2kic: yep | 02:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | i'm in ubuntu 10.10 full install right now | 02:20 |
| Bing0 | ZykoticK9, true. just tried to clarify ntfs dont sit on a drive as a partition. :) | 02:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | I think I'm finally ready to "nuke the drive" | 02:20 |
| Bing0 | err.. leme rephrase :P | 02:21 |
| edrahn | sacarlson: I install fine. and it loads grub | 02:21 |
| edrahn | but the kernel dosn't load | 02:21 |
| robby | ill be right back, let me restart and see if anything happens | 02:21 |
| semitones | robby, try running "nvidia-settings" from the terminal | 02:21 |
| ^Phantom^ | I don't dare reboot to the windows drive until this drive is NUKED | 02:21 |
| sacarlson | edrahn: did you have a linux system before you installed this one? | 02:21 |
| robby | semitones: how do i do that? "run"? | 02:21 |
| ^Phantom^ | I don't want to take any chances of this virus getting over to this machine's windows install | 02:22 |
| edrahn | sacarlson: yep | 02:22 |
| Bing0 | robby, you can hit ALT-F2 as well | 02:22 |
| IdleOne | robby: it should be the first option under the System menu tab | 02:22 |
| ^Phantom^ | it's a nasty little bugger that destroys any program that tries to find and delete it | 02:22 |
| edrahn | and it locked up, when I rebooted I get this | 02:22 |
| semitones | robby, just type it and press enter | 02:22 |
| IdleOne | robby: type and hit enter: nvidia-settings | 02:22 |
| bfreis | yeats, if I remove the packages listed as errors from the list of packages to remove, then apt-get can proceed | 02:23 |
| bfreis | however, it seems that it will remove gnome also! | 02:23 |
| jacko | ^Phantom^ looks like it had allyour file data for however long you had it | 02:23 |
| sacarlson | edrahn: sounds like grub still points to the old kernel, with live boot see that your /boot kernel and init.? match that as seen in grub entry | 02:23 |
| ^Phantom^ | I immediately stopped using that drive when the virus hit | 02:23 |
| ^Phantom^ | i've finally got all the stuff i wanna keep off of it | 02:24 |
| robby | idleone: it says "you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit your x configuration file, and restart the x server. | 02:24 |
| ^Phantom^ | and i'm ready to nuke the drive good | 02:24 |

| jrib | gaspar|work: no | 02:26 |
| jacko | ^Phantom^ dont keep any executables | 02:26 |
| IdleOne | robby: make sure you have Visual effects enabled in System > Prefs > Appearance. | 02:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | oh nononono | 02:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | not a chance | 02:26 |
| Bing0 | gaspar|work, should be able to install np | 02:26 |
| IdleOne | semitones: that might help, really not sure, it would create a blank xorg | 02:26 |
| gaspar|work | Bing0, Just install it from source? | 02:26 |
| jacko | ^Phantom^ stick with ubuntu and use wine :) | 02:26 |
| jrib | gaspar|work: just use apache2... | 02:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | I have this machine set up with dual-boot | 02:26 |
| Bing0 | gaspar|work, try sudo apt-get install httpd | 02:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | Because there's certain things I can only do in windows itself. ;) | 02:27 |
| jimisrvrox | Bing0: besides editing the xorg.conf file what can cause xorg failures? | 02:27 |
| bfreis | yeats, looks like the information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome is out of date | 02:27 |
| semitones | IdleOne, i'm still not sure if he's using the right driver -- the community docs say that geforce4 should use "nvidia-glx" | 02:27 |
| red2kic | Bing0: You're a funny guy. That package does not exist. :) | 02:27 |
| sacarlson | edrahn: another thing I just thought of is if you installed with a usb flash then sometimes those mount as /dev/sda if that's the case then you might have needed to install grub mbr to /dev/sdb | 02:27 |
| yeats | bfreis: yep | 02:27 |
| Bing0 | red2kic, hang on | 02:27 |
| gaspar|work | Bing0, Does not work, ther is no package httpd | 02:27 |
| semitones | IdleOne, or is that the same as nvidia-current | 02:28 |
| red2kic | gaspar|work: There are lighttpd -- I heard great things about it. | 02:28 |
| Bing0 | gaspar|work, maybe you need to comp from src. im not of my arena now :) | 02:28 |
| IdleOne | semitones: enabling from the Appearance menu should pull in the correct driver. I assumed he needed -current (my fault) | 02:28 |

| === mbgray is now known as milkman | ||
| ^Phantom^ | ergh | 02:29 |

| semitones | IdleOne, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia | 02:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | I just came across the file that gave me the virus, lol | 02:29 |
| sacarlson | uberNewb: if it's really old ubuntu might not be the best pick but you could try lubuntu I think is what it's called | 02:29 |
| semitones | lubuntu is minimalist but runs like a charm! | 02:30 |
| uberNewb | Well, I've got to install on a laptopwith 64MB ram, 590MHz cpu, and 5GB hdd | 02:30 |
| nyRednek | lubuntu? lxde? | 02:30 |
| * nyRednek *gag* | 02:30 | |
| uberNewb | Also, it won't boot to CD or USB | 02:31 |
| semitones | good luck with 64mb ram | 02:31 |
| semitones | better check if that meets lubuntu's min reqs | 02:31 |
| red2kic | uberNewb: You probably don't want to install any X11 with that. | 02:32 |
| uberNewb | I just need something. When I booted, I found malware-ridden Windows p | 02:32 |
| jacko | uberNewb, tinyx is a small x alike | 02:32 |
| uberNewb | Windows XP | 02:32 |
| semitones | ouch | 02:33 |
| semitones | xp with that little ram is :( | 02:33 |
| yeats | uberNewb: puppy linux (but this is off-topic ;-) ) | 02:33 |
| uberNewb | So, should check out lubuntu, puppy linx, or tinyx? | 02:33 |
| ^Phantom^ | Okay, I have unmounted the drive | 02:33 |
| semitones | uberNewb, lubuntu is the most like a full install out of those | 02:33 |
| craigbass1976 | Is there a list of webcams somewhere that are known to work in lucdid? It's have to be a list of stuff I can find new in stores now. | 02:33 |

| semitones | uberNewb, puppy is quite nice though | 02:33 |
| Bing0 | craigbass1976, best thing i did was googled the camera m ake/model with ubuntu 10.10 | 02:34 |
| Bing0 | or 10.04 and see what others experience. | 02:34 |
| uberNewb | Cool. As long as I can I can do C++ and Java dev that's enough for me. | 02:34 |
| webPragmatist1 | how can i copy a dir without permissions, ownership but retain timestamps? | 02:34 |
| craigbass1976 | Ok. Have to do some recon in a store I guess. | 02:34 |
| sacarlson | uberNewb: even lubuntu requires 128meg ram | 02:35 |
| jrib | webPragmatist1: use cp and pass the appropriate argument to --preserve? | 02:35 |
| Bing0 | webPragmatist1, tar can do timestamps but not certain if u can filter permission and ownership | 02:35 |
| semitones | webPragmatist1, dumb question, but why not copy it and change the perms and ownership afterwards? | 02:35 |
| uberNewb | So, it looks like puppy is what I should go for then. Any tips for installing without external media? | 02:35 |
| webPragmatist1 | jrib: thanks | 02:35 |
| webPragmatist1 | semitones: easiers this way heh | 02:35 |
| semitones | lol as long as you get it to work :P | 02:36 |
| jacko | I remember 64MB linux with 6Gig disk, but that was minimal | 02:36 |
| semitones | uberNewb, the puppy website probably would be the best place to check for that | 02:36 |
| sacarlson | uberNewb: you could use usb flash to install or pxe netboot, ya maybe puppy | 02:36 |
| semitones | uberNewb, you might have to boot grub from a floppy or something like that | 02:36 |

| Propel | when you dual boot | 02:46 |
| iflema | !grub2 | Propel | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Propel: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 02:47 |
| Genieliu | nytek_: why not? | 02:47 |
| sunshinepants | Propel: yea with a default that is selected after a timeout.. | 02:47 |
| randy_ | Is this web ubuntu.org.cn any connect to ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| loicbidcactus | is ubuntu better than centos? | 02:47 |
| Propel | sunshinepants, can you make it so that you start ubuntu every time unless you choose otherwise? | 02:47 |
| lithionlx | i like ubuntu better than centos | 02:47 |
| lithionlx | i use centos5 at work | 02:48 |

| Dakrav | was wondering if any one knew if i could get firesheep on my ubuntu 10.04 laptop | 02:48 |
| lithionlx | yes | 02:48 |
| sunshinepants | Propel: yea that is how ubuntu will set up the boot loader if you install over an existing windows drive that has extra space.. | 02:48 |
| randy_ | rww, does it be knowd by ubuntu offical? | 02:48 |
| nytek_ | Genieliu: because installing a new window manager doesnt change the distro name | 02:49 |
| Dakrav | does any one know how to get firesheep on ubuntu? | 02:49 |
| ether-boy | the sound on flash plugin is loud and scratchy although the system sound is perfect, what could be the reason? | 02:49 |
| sunshinepants | Propel: you also have to choose the option to install alongside existing os's during ubuntu's install.. | 02:49 |
| rww | randy_: it's a community-based group that's approved by Ubuntu's Local Community Team Council. | 02:49 |
| Propel | yeah, i was thinking about installing windows first, and then ubuntu afterwards, but ubuntu having the majority of the HDD | 02:50 |
| sunshinepants | Propel: that will work well for you.. just give windows 1/2 the disk and then ubuntu will grab the rest of the disk when you install alongside existing os's | 02:51 |
| Zeu5 | hi there, i got a ubuntu server 10.04 setup. and i bought a ssl cert. apparently i need to setup a CSR. can someone help me? i am not sure what is that or how to do it? | 02:51 |
| ssbpls1 | i have solve my problem! i change my login password! | 02:52 |
| Propel | sunshinepants, how do you give windows half the disk? do you partition it later after installing it? | 02:52 |
| ssbpls1 | thankx | 02:52 |
| Propel | as an empty drive, and then installing ubuntu over it? | 02:52 |
| C3D | .gpart | 02:52 |
| ShapeShifter499 | where can I get the sources for the latest ubuntu wine ? | 02:53 |
| C3D | yes you partition the drive | 02:53 |
| C3D | shrink the windows partition then add a new partion for ubuntu | 02:53 |
| randy_ | rww, but they sell clothers with ubuntu logo,is it illegal? | 02:53 |
| Propel | thx C3D | 02:54 |
| Genieliu | nytek_: So it acts just the same with using the Kubuntu | 02:54 |
| sunshinepants | Propel: only give windows half the disk during its installation, or you can possibly resize the windows ntfs partition with a gparted live cd 0 http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 02:54 |
| rww | randy_: Depends on the circumstances. Ubuntu's trademark policy is at http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy | 02:54 |

| SmartViking | I have installed ubuntu 10.10, and after playing with the display managers a little the system went bananas | 03:03 |
| sunshinepants | i love bananas | 03:03 |
| SmartViking | it doesn't really do anything when i boot up, plumouth just stays there | 03:03 |
| KaV | me 2 can you lend me your pc ? | 03:03 |
| SmartViking | but i can use the tty's | 03:03 |
| ether-boy | the sound on flash plugin is loud and scratchy although the system sound is perfect, what could be the reason? | 03:03 |
| SmartViking | so my question is | 03:03 |
| sunshinepants | SmartViking: you get a blinking underscore? | 03:04 |
| homeccable | sup | 03:04 |
| claus | im just new to ubuntu and i got a question. I got a USB-Headset but the only way i can edit the soundoutput is via systemsettings and then multimedia -> Phonon and set priority. Is there an easier way to do so? | 03:04 |

| red2kic | !boot | SmartViking | 03:05 |
| ubottu | SmartViking: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 03:05 |
| red2kic | SmartViking: Use that to disable gdm. | 03:05 |
| SmartViking | how can i get the system to not launch a display manager like gdm or x at all on startup, but go right to the shell? | 03:05 |
| jacko | smartViking alt f2 init 3 | 03:05 |
| SmartViking | jacko: thats all? | 03:05 |
| iflema | !nox | SmartViking | 03:05 |
| ubottu | SmartViking: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 03:05 |
| jacko | smartViking put init 3 in your startup | 03:05 |
| ShapeShifter499 | is wine for ubuntu from the wine PPA modified for ubuntu in anyway? if so where can I get that modified source code? | 03:06 |
| sunshinepants | SmartViking: i'm surprised you couldn't find that answer online. do you have your network setup via console as well? i think network manager depends on the desktop session on default ubuntu | 03:06 |
| SmartViking | sunshinepants: iwconfig dude | 03:07 |
| jacko | init 5 starts an x session init 6 shutsdown | 03:07 |
| sunshinepants | SmartViking: haha right but how many people know that | 03:07 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:07 |
| jacko | init 4 is not defined | 03:08 |
| jacko | init 1 is bootup | 03:08 |
| Curly_Q | What is the file that contains the Up arrow on the keyboard? Is it a .bash file? I would like to delete or edit it. | 03:08 |
| jacko | init 2 i can't remember | 03:08 |
| rww | !runlevels | 03:08 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 03:08 |
| SmartViking | meh i can't get to grub | 03:08 |
| sunshinepants | !dogs | 03:08 |
| SmartViking | where was the grub config? | 03:08 |
| jacko | smartViking /etc | 03:09 |
| sunshinepants | SmartViking: which version? | 03:09 |
| sunshinepants | on recent: sudo vi /etc/default/grub | 03:09 |
| sunshinepants | && update-grib | 03:10 |
| Curly_Q | Windows has a version of the up arrow of the keyboard which remembers what the last entry was but Linux has a log file of all of the keystrokes. | 03:10 |
| sunshinepants | grub | 03:10 |
| SmartViking | sunshinepants: that did it | 03:11 |
| SmartViking | "GRUB_DEFAULT" <- what is that variable? | 03:11 |
| Propel | how do you guys like open office .vs MS office? | 03:11 |
| sunshinepants | Curly_Q: you're confusing me.. windows has 'doskey' which i think is a really simple app that remembers your buffer and offers it to you via the up arrow.. linux has similar functionality via the shell on most dists.. also accessible via the up arrow. you can also use the 'history' command to view it | 03:12 |
| b0tz | Hi, I am using Linux Mint 10 (based off the ubuntu repositories) and i want to use apt-metalink to speed up my updates | 03:12 |

| Flannel | b0tz: Your best bet is #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 03:12 |
| b0tz | Ive tried. | 03:13 |
| Curly_Q | Sunshinepants I think you are on the right path. It is a buffer file but it keeps a log file so if you re-boot the sys the log file everytime you hit the up or down arrow or key you can see your entries. | 03:13 |
| gzm | grub and grub2 config file format is different | 03:13 |
| SmartViking | what should i set "quiet splash" to, i dont want the plymouth thing | 03:13 |

| wwwyzzerdd | my power manager has stopped detecting unplugged/plugged in state... it has worked for a year until recently, what's going on? | 03:29 |
| sam-_- | snipe07, depends on how much ram you got. | 03:29 |
| grendal_prime | ok this is going to sound stupid but...well ive just never had to do this before..is there a simple way to put a dvd into a ubuntu desktop machine and on another desktop machine run that disk? | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | I_Vain_I: yes your router in this case maybe you access point | 03:30 |
| snipe07 | sam-_-: 4GB | 03:30 |
| sacarlson | I_Vain_I: does it have a name? your router/access point? | 03:30 |
| I_Vain_I | The connection name? Yes. | 03:30 |
| sam-_- | snipe07, then i wouldn't use swap at all if you don't do anything fancy with your pc. | 03:31 |
| TomV-415 | I tried to upgrade a computer from Ubuntu 10.04, to 10.10 and now I can't get it to work. it appears the problem is that it is no longer seeing the drive partions. | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | I_Vain_I: try sudo iwlist eth1 scanning | 03:31 |
| snipe07 | sam-_-: I shouldn't even set up a small amount? I have the space for it | 03:31 |
| TomV-415 | does running 'grub-mkdevicemap' filx this? | 03:32 |
| sam-_- | snipe07, you can but i probably won't make a difference. i have 2 gb ram. no swap. do all the usual stuff. never had a problem. | 03:32 |
| TomV-415 | I see lots of my partions in /dev/disk/by-id but only one line is in the /boot/grup/device.map file | 03:33 |
| rob_p | snipe07: anything more than 1-2GB of swap is a waste, but you should allocate some to give you some "buffer space", just in case... | 03:33 |
| sam-_- | snipe07, if you really have the space then just use like 10gb. | 03:33 |
| TomV-415 | (I' | 03:33 |
| TomV-415 | 'm working with a dual boot system) | 03:33 |
| snipe07 | rob_p: so 512MB? | 03:33 |
| sam-_- | snipe07, btw. are you using the 64-bit or 32-bit version? | 03:34 |
| snipe07 | sam-_-: lol | 03:34 |
| snipe07 | 32-bit | 03:34 |
| rob_p | snipe07: I'd go a gig or so | 03:34 |
| ubutom | snipe07, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 03:34 |
| sam-_- | snipe07, then it won't make a difference unless you use the pae kernel anyway... | 03:34 |
| snipe07 | sam-_-: alright, thanks | 03:35 |
| nyRednek | question, is there a unicode console(terminal) html browser out there? | 03:36 |

| TomV-415 | any suggestions for fixing my 10.10 boot? Again, I suspect the issue is my partitions, but where do I learn how to fix that? Is the right place to start /boot/grub/device.map? | 03:40 |
| sam-_- | loicbidcactus, who says that? | 03:41 |
| loicbidcactus | Well im on ubuntus site attempting to download it. it requests i use a cd or flash drive, but i have neither that can hold 17 gigabytes | 03:41 |

I can't figure out whats going on, but I've gone through about 20 discs now with various issues from them not being recognized as inserted to an immediate error and ejection if the project starts. Anyone heard of anything like this? | 03:45 |
| gbear14275 | dvd+ | 03:45 |
| gbear14275 | 's work great btw | 03:45 |
| gbear14275 | could this be a cd-r driver problem or something? or are linux drivers by the drive itself? | 03:46 |
| kernalogs | try another batch number on the cd-r disks | 03:47 |
| gbear14275 | kernalogs: another batch number? You mean go buy others? | 03:47 |
| adam__ | I'm using a Gateway Netbook that I purchased new a year or 2 ago. Ubuntu works great except periodically the graphics fritz out. Can anyone help? I can provide a screenshot if needed. | 03:48 |

| TomV-415 | gbear14275: Yes, it's a dual boot configuration, with several partitions. | 03:52 |
| gbear14275 | TomV-415: which OS is showing up and which isn't? | 03:53 |
| TomV-415 | my current /boot/grub/device.map is only one line.. but I'm not sure if I should just edit that and if so what format to use | 03:53 |

| SmartViking | It decided to not launch a display manager | 03:54 |
| TomV-415 | gbear14275: At the initial grub startup, it shows all OSes (the various kernels of ubuntu and windows), but then when I try to launch ubuntu, after the first screen, it freezes (the dots all go to red) | 03:54 |

| gbear14275 | there's the info you asked for though TomV-415 | 03:54 |
| gbear14275 | TomV-415: can you boot into single user mode? | 03:55 |

| kwtm | akephalos: Not sure why you are having that problem, but I can think of a few suggestions. First one | 04:26 |
| kwtm | akephalos: first one is: mute everything in alsamixer, then unmute. | 04:26 |

| Dakrav | please? | 04:31 |
| elint | leif: you could try libre office instead | 04:31 |

| Leif | elint, Mmm...okay, I'll give it a shot | 04:32 |

| Dakrav | Bing0: thanks | 04:32 |
| akephalos | kwtm: yes, 10.10 | 04:32 |

| akephalos | no sound out of either | 04:33 |
| red2kic | wow: You need to format the USB into FAT16 (and there are filesystem limitation of FAT16 so you might not have room for all files plus FreeDOS. | 04:33 |
| ez2hate | guess I can't clean it back up without reinstalling completely, huh? | 04:34 |

| Bing0 | then read the readme Dakrav | 04:35 |
| kwtm | Leif: Thanks for the pastebin. I see that somehow openoffice.org-core is not going to be installed. We need to see why: is it broken, or somehow there's an authentication issue, or what? So, try "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core" and see what message you get. | 04:35 |

| Aleiex | hi, I want to start empathy withing typing the root password, any idea? | 04:35 |
| Dakrav | sorry Bing0 | 04:35 |

| bawn | xangua, nothing about dns there | 04:36 |
| nytek_ | kwtm: what would that do? | 04:36 |

| Leif | kwtm, erm: http://pastebin.com/KpetPhrq | 04:37 |
| Leif | yea for clipboard issues. | 04:37 |
| sacarlson | mbvpixies78: a broken computer? | 04:37 |
| kwtm | akephalos: Not sure what else to do .. was hoping to fill in time while other people jumped in to help ... trying to remember what else I tried when my computer decided to shut up... | 04:37 |
| red2kic | mbvpixies78: A broken wrist? | 04:37 |
| mbvpixies78 | It's a PS/2 | 04:37 |
| wow | red2kic: after i have formatted to fat32...what else to do? | 04:37 |
| mbvpixies78 | I did try a USB one too | 04:37 |
| Leif | kwtm, Here is sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core: http://pastebin.com/2qRhrfjk | 04:38 |
| akephalos | aplay -L pastebin: http://pastebin.com/imhBHpUs | 04:38 |
| kwtm | Leif: Okay, so apt-get -f install is not working ... somehow it has decided that you/it does not want to upgrade. Okay, that most recent pastebin of yours may have the answer... let's take a look... | 04:38 |
| Leif | ktwm: but when I do ure, it tells me it's already installed | 04:38 |
| Leif | kwtm, Okay | 04:38 |
| Leif | kwtm, Or more specifically, it says: http://pastebin.com/AN4d88cw | 04:39 |
| nichos | hi all, im using debian w/an nvidia driver on a TV. I've confirmed the resolution is correct, but the mouse cursor & maximized windows go off screen. | 04:39 |
| x_ | akephalos, so were these cards working or? | 04:39 |
| kwtm | Leif: What the... okay, now it looks like "apt-get" is trying to get into a pissing contest with us, so let's do "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-common" and see what excuse it uses for not installing *that*. | 04:39 |
| bastidrazor | nichos: shouldn't you be asking in #debian ? | 04:40 |
| Leif | okay, one moment | 04:40 |
| x_ | akephalos, working and then just stopped like give more details | 04:40 |
| wow | ? | 04:40 |
| mbvpixies78 | we're talking 2 different motherboards...?? | 04:40 |
| kwtm | Somebody help Leif out here ... how does he verify what version of "ure" has been installed? (And what *is* "ure" anyway? Is that the second half of "man"?) | 04:41 |
| Leif | kwtm, Okay: http://pastebin.com/P0EDsSbD | 04:41 |
| Leif | mmm....no manual entry for ure :( | 04:41 |
| rww | Leif, kwtm: apt-cache policy ure | 04:41 |
| akephalos | ok, so it is a fresh install, and audio wasnt working. realized it was just a muting problem. ran alsamixer and unmuted master and other relevant items. audio worked as expected. after a reboot, no sound, but the settings in alsamixer show the devices unmuted still | 04:42 |
| rww | ure is the UNO Runtime Environment. UNO is an OpenOffice.org thing, stands for Universal Network Objects. | 04:42 |
| Leif | rwlove, kwtm Thanks: http://pastebin.com/FuVkXp4V | 04:42 |
| christhecoolboy | OK... I've got my sound fixed, thanks to sam-_- | 04:42 |
| red2kic | wow: Follow the guide from the link I posted earlier. | 04:43 |
| christhecoolboy | he spent 3 hours helping me... | 04:43 |
| christhecoolboy | and I just wanna say thanks :) | 04:43 |
| Leif | perhaps if I uninstall and reinstall it? | 04:43 |
| kwtm | rww: Okay. Maybe I should have run the "man ure" command, but I would have been too busy rolling on the floor laughing to read the output. | 04:43 |
| elint | Leif: have you purged, if it's an option? $ sudo apt-get purge "openoffice*.*" | 04:43 |
| christhecoolboy | now I have a new problem | 04:43 |
| rww | Leif: Looks like you added the libreoffice PPA. That PPA contains testing packages, and is rather unsupported. | 04:43 |
| sam-_- | christhecoolboy, would have been one hour if i trusted your advice :-) | 04:43 |
| christhecoolboy | yeah lol | 04:43 |
| ez2hate | Is there a way to uninstall everything and get back to the base ubuntu server install without reinstalling from scratch? | 04:44 |
| x_ | akephalos, try restarting alsa | 04:44 |
| Leif | rww, Ah, okay, so do I need to remove the PPA and re-install? | 04:44 |
| Blue1 | christhecoolboy: i had a 3 hour session, that turned into a few days - but the end result we got it working | 04:44 |
| christhecoolboy | my new problem: when I had windows I had stereo mix on my PC, how do I get it to work now? | 04:44 |
| mawst | How do I figure out what provides aes.h? | 04:44 |
| elint | Leif: i think that command alone should remove all of openoffice, and leave you ready for a new ppa | 04:44 |
| kwtm | Leif: elint has a good suggesting of purging. SOmehow you've got a broken package. Let's have you try that now before we keep chasing the "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-style" | 04:45 |
| akephalos | x_ is that an init.d script to restart alsa? | 04:45 |
| Blue1 | ez2hate: sometimes the way forward is taking a step back. re-installing might be your easy route | 04:45 |
| rww | Leif: I'd install ppa-purge and use it to remove the libreoffice PPA. I haven't been following your conversation, though, so I don't know if installing more packages is feasible at this point, so I'll defer to kwtm ;) | 04:45 |
| Leif | elint, kwtm Okay, purging now | 04:45 |
| x_ | akephalos, well im on 10.10 and sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart is what they say to use but that doesn't work for me I must admit. but Since I use pulse audio I just kill pulse and restart it. | 04:45 |
| akephalos | weird, the only init.d script i see relating to alsa is alsa-mixer-save | 04:46 |
| christhecoolboy | is there a wiki on Sound or Installiation? | 04:46 |
| Leif | rww, Okay, thanks I'm doing that now | 04:46 |
| sam-_- | mawst, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=aes.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=maverick&arch=any | 04:46 |
| christhecoolboy | I think it should be edited... | 04:46 |
| hanasaki | how can I get this version installed on 10.10? clamav 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.10.1 | 04:46 |
| NickyTT | Is Ubuntu 10.4 better than 10.10? | 04:46 |
| kwtm | Leif: I think rww has a point --I wouldn't try libreoffice yet right now. Did you just install the repository right now when elint suggested, or did you have that before? Ie. is it a feasible cause of your problem? | 04:46 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: easy way would be to use synaptic | 04:46 |
| dokuhebi | Is there an easy way to quickly log off another user who has logged on using "switch user"? | 04:47 |
| Leif | kwtm, I've actually had it for a few weeks, although I never used it, so it may be the cause of the problem. | 04:47 |
| hanasaki | Blue1: its not in the regular repositories.. something about ppa? | 04:47 |
| x_ | akephalos, yea I had to fight to get my hdmi audio to work, and like I said I have that same problem as you. | 04:47 |
| Blue1 | NickyTT: ubuntu 10.04 was an lts (long term support) release. 10.10 wasn't. depends on what you need. | 04:47 |
| christhecoolboy | I think that a wiki article on wiki.ubuntu.com should be changed | 04:47 |
| sam-_- | NickyTT, no. but it isn't worse either | 04:47 |
| Leif | (I actually had them both installed for a while) | 04:47 |
| dokuhebi | (assuming I have administrator privledges) | 04:47 |
| x_ | !alsa | 04:47 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 04:47 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: Different opinions. I am conservative and don't want to spend time fixing things, so I use 10.04. My own suggestion is: 10.04 unless you know you need something that's not in 10.04, and then upgrade. | 04:47 |
| Blue1 | hanasaki: you can add the ppa to synaptic | 04:47 |
| Blueleaf | j | 04:47 |
| mawst | thanks sam | 04:47 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: The version *after* a LTS version tends to be more experimental than usual. | 04:47 |
| NickyTT | AHA | 04:47 |
| xangua | !clamav | hanasaki | 04:47 |

| NickyTT | So I predict that there are differing opinions on this subject... I just opened a can of worms I predict... | 04:48 |
| Blue1 | NickyTT: kwtm advise is the route I would go | 04:48 |
| al_nz1 | any sed gurus here? | 04:48 |
| Leif | rww, BTW, is ppa-purge an actual command (as it's not in my path), or should I just use the gui tools to remove it from my sources (what I usually do)? | 04:48 |
| NickyTT | 10.4 was the last LTS release? | 04:48 |
| christhecoolboy | could some1 edit that please? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 04:48 |
| Blue1 | NickyTT: yes | 04:48 |
| NickyTT | I think I can see why. | 04:48 |
| christhecoolboy | theres something that I think should be put on that wiki | 04:49 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: I don't think you'll see us fighting over it. We'll all say it depends on what you need. I use Kubuntu, which ... I guess a polite way of putting it is that it does not suck as much as it used to, so I'm sticking with the LTS version to make sure nothing's broken. | 04:49 |
| rww | !itsawiki | christhecoolboy | 04:49 |
| ubottu | christhecoolboy: It's a wiki, *you* can edit it | 04:49 |
| hanasaki | xangua: that is exactly the one I want - the .3 version does not seem to scan RAR files... but how to add the repository? | 04:49 |
| rww | Leif: it's a command, in a package that isn't installed by default. Using the GUI tools is an option, but won't downgrade any packages you installed from the PPA to the Ubuntu repository versions. | 04:49 |
| rww | !info ppa-purge | 04:49 |

| xangua | Leif: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge ; and to uninstall a ppa and packages it provides: sudo ppa-purge "ppa's name" | 04:49 |
| xangua | hanasaki: already is | 04:49 |
| x_ | akephalos, im wondering if sound was broken by an update in 10.10 recently | 04:49 |
| hanasaki | xangua: huh? | 04:49 |
| NickyTT | Are there a lot of programs included with Kubuntu? Does it work just like Ubuntu? What's the advantage? | 04:49 |
| kwtm | xangua, rww: Very useful info on ppa-purge. Thanks. | 04:49 |
| christhecoolboy | it needs to be placed at multiple places, rww | 04:50 |
| hanasaki | apt-show-versions clamav | 04:50 |
| hanasaki | clamav/maverick-security uptodate 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 | 04:50 |
| Leif | xangua, rww thanks | 04:50 |
| hanasaki | xangua: not .5 | 04:50 |
| Blue1 | NickyTT: it's a personal preference | 04:50 |
| lwizardl | hello | 04:50 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: Again different opinions. There's a matter of "how is KDE" theoretically, and practically. At this point, if you could go either way, you'll probably have a better experience with (GNOME) Ubuntu. | 04:51 |
| lwizardl | can someone help me with configuring a sftp server for internal networks only ? | 04:51 |
| rww | NickyTT: They're different desktop environments; one isn't objectively better than the other. If you feel like experimenting, try both. If not, go with Ubuntu, since more people use it. | 04:51 |
| akephalos | yeah. i think just installing a xwindowing system might have to happen to get the sound working | 04:51 |
| akephalos | lwizardl: sftp uses ssh. you will have to limit the ssh connections to limit sftp (afaik) | 04:52 |
| rww | christhecoolboy: so...? | 04:52 |
| hanasaki | I have http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ppa/ubuntu in my synaptic however it only finds ...3 not ....5 | 04:52 |
| christhecoolboy | I dont know how to put it around the site | 04:52 |
| x_ | akephalos, you said a fresh install of 10.10 doesnt pulse audio come with 10.10...? | 04:52 |
| christhecoolboy | this is a very Important thing | 04:52 |
| NickyTT | I'm currently using a version of Ubuntu that isn't supported by you guys, so I fear to even mention it. | 04:53 |
| Leif | rww, elint kwtm okay, purged, I'm going to try a clean install now | 04:53 |
| kwtm | Leif: Tell us how it goes, ok? Would love to know. From your output, it looks just like a broken package: very unlikely with Ubuntu repositories, but the libreoffice repository explains it. | 04:53 |
| akephalos | x_ if it does, i am not aware of it.. or what pulse even does | 04:53 |
| lwizardl | akephalos, yeah I have the openssh installed on the system and also vsftp but thats about all I know. I never setup a linux ftp/sftp server before. | 04:53 |
| x_ | akephalos, ps -ef | grep pulseaudio | 04:53 |
| akephalos | nothin | 04:53 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: well, you can mention it --we won't hold it against you. But if it's too out of date, you might think about a clean install. | 04:53 |
| rww | NickyTT: as in, an old one that isn't supported any more? | 04:53 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: I'll tell you what I usually do, if you're interested. | 04:53 |
| rww | NickyTT: if so, I'd go with 10.04, since that way you don't need to worry about upgrading as often ;) | 04:54 |
| x_ | akephalos, id look up how to install pulseaudio then. or try starting it maybe you have it. pulseaudio -D | 04:54 |
| Leif | kwtm, Excitement, well it's happily downloading everything, so I bet it will work fine, I'll let you know if it works when it finishes, thank you. | 04:54 |
| kwtm | NickyTT: Disclaimer: if you say you use Microsoft Ubuntu, we *will* hold it against you. :) | 04:54 |
| lwizardl | kwtm, lol | 04:54 |
| NickyTT | Haha | 04:54 |
| NickyTT | I use 10.4 SuperOS | 04:54 |
| NickyTT | Because I found there is no grub screen. | 04:55 |
| NickyTT | But there is a weird grub screen on 10.10 that wasn't there before. | 04:55 |
| ez2hate | Blue1: I was afraid of that... guess I'll be using virtual machines to play from now on... :) | 04:55 |
| NickyTT | So I'm thinking - screw this, I'm going back to 10.4 | 04:55 |
| NickyTT | [I don't want to waste 10 seconds of my life every time i reboot this thing | 04:55 |
| semitones | NickyTT, lol | 04:55 |
| rww | NickyTT: unsurprisingly, I recommend you go to Ubuntu 10.04, not SuperOS 10.04 ;P | 04:55 |
| hanasaki | xangua: do you mean the .5 version is already in the main? | 04:55 |
| MadRobot | How do I solve a BADSIG problem? | 04:55 |
| semitones | NickyTT you left before we could finish helping you | 04:55 |
| xangua | hanasaki: if you are using maverick | 04:55 |
| semitones | NickyTT, you have to run "sudo update-grub" | 04:56 |
| NickyTT | And I know there's probably a way to disable that screen, but the time it would take to invest in finding a solution, I could have reinstalled 10.04 about 5 times. | 04:56 |
| hanasaki | xangua: it looks like .3 not .5 | 04:56 |

| christhecoolboy | dotblank, I'm new here | 05:10 |
| Bing0 | ive no testimonials but read others have good success w/steam and wine | 05:10 |
| christhecoolboy | how do I do that? :~( | 05:11 |
| MadVector | <shcherbak> i know | 05:11 |
| Leif | kwtm, Got it!!! I needed to install openoffice.org-gnome, now it works perfectly, thank you for your help | 05:11 |
| MadVector | i give 4/10 to wine for its games support :) | 05:11 |
| kwtm | Leif: Nice work! And how did you know you needed to install openoffice.org-gnome? I would never have known. | 05:11 |
| === fran is now known as Guest72565 | ||

| hanasaki | is there a web page that lets you lookup packages and their versions for a specific ubuntu release? 10.10 | 05:12 |
| Leif | kwtm, I just typed sudo apt-get install openoffice.org- and tab completed to see the list of available packages, openoffice.org-gnome looked fairly logical, so I took a guess, and it turned out to be right. (I'm saying I got lucky) | 05:12 |
| shcherbak | MadVector: but cs works! (btw 1.6 and souce ate 2 most playable on line - according to steam stats) | 05:13 |
| red2kic | !packages | hanasaki | 05:13 |
| ubottu | hanasaki: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 05:13 |

| semitones | hi | 05:20 |
| kwtm | Okay, so after helping some people, I am going to ask my question again. | 05:21 |
| chinesco | hello | 05:21 |
| sam-_- | gzm, aptitude is a gui. apt isn't | 05:21 |
| kwtm | How do I get my (k)Ubuntu 10.04 system to recognize the extra buttons on my mouse that Microsoft said should be on all mice? They are on the left side and apparently do "forward" and "backward" on the web browser. How can I use these buttons? | 05:21 |
| gzm | thanks. but when in process of install snort, it requires libdnet. I used apt-get to install but snort can not find it, but use aptitude , snort can sucesssfully find it and can continue. | 05:22 |
| sam-_- | kwtm, they are probably recognized. try: xev to find out | 05:22 |
| kwtm | grkblood13_: What is avchds? Do you mean you want to burn DVD's and CD's? I use K3b; apparently in standard GNOME Ubuntu, Brasero is the program. | 05:22 |
| kwtm | sam-_-: Good idea. Will try. | 05:23 |

| ubottu | kwtm: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 05:33 |
| kwtm | ActionParsnip: Uh oh. Can you do that !shortcuts | kwtm thing for Kubuntu? | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kwtm: you can assign them like shortcuts that way, should be fine. As long as they make event in xev then they can be used | 05:33 |

| kwtm | ActionParsnip: THere is no "system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts" in KDE. | 05:34 |

| shcherbak | gamax92: Wise, very wise, Luke. | 05:41 |

| shcherbak | bullgard4: Wireless extention? | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | no | 05:42 |
| leed-home | ActionParsnip: No I don't think so, there is a 3gb/s controller that the traditional drives attach to and there is a 2nd bios I see for the ssd 6gb/s drives. winblows sees them ok :-/ | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | leed-home: if you run: dmesg | less and read the boot, does it see the drives? (use cursor to scroll down) | 05:44 |
| leed-home | yea i did that; it only sees the 3gb/s drives | 05:44 |

| illuminaris | scherbak what's the command to check version? | 05:47 |
| gamax92 | ohh ubottu is a bot | 05:47 |

| ravibn | my webcam (frontech e-cam JIL2214) is not working after installing 10.10 anyone pl help | 05:47 |
| illuminaris | ActionParsnip, it is of value because it implies the graphics card is capable of handling the game with the proper drivers and support, meaning it's not the fault of the graphics card alone. | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ravibn: install and run cheese, do you see yourself | 05:47 |
| shcherbak | lsb_release? uname -a? | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | illuminaris: linux uses completely different drivers | 05:47 |

| ActionParsnip | illuminaris: so no, in windows it will run on unichrome video cards but in Linux those cards do not perform any 3D rendering | 05:48 |
| illuminaris | ActionParsnip I'm aware of that, that's not the point.... | 05:48 |
| ravibn | ActionParsnip, It use to work 10.04 | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | illuminaris: your release is also offtopic here, it is supported in #ubuntu+1 | 05:48 |
| leed-home | ActionParsnip: ah thx ill give that a try... is a marvell controller | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ravibn: if you run: lsusb you will get the 8 character hex ID for the device, you can then use it to find guides | 05:49 |
| sam-_- | illuminaris, it's an old card that isn't supported by the proprietary driver anymore. it's possible that the open source driver will not give you maximum performance | 05:49 |

| Zeu5 | hi i need help using a portable hdd in ubuntu AND windows | 05:54 |
| ravibn | ActionParsnip, one of the guide said I need to install gspca driver and then Video4linux | 05:55 |

| Zeu5 | initially it is working. but after transferring files in windows and ubuntu enviro | 05:55 |
| nirazio | How to create .Xauthority file ?? | 05:55 |
| gobbe | nirazio: with editor | 05:55 |
| Zeu5 | the hdd is now no longer mountable in ubuntu... sometimes the same thing happens in windows too | 05:55 |
| ravibn | ActionParsnip, can you pl. guide me installing this drivers | 05:55 |
| Zeu5 | gobbe, so i need help in ensuring in future this does not happen. what shd i do? | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: was the windows system a seperate computer? | 05:56 |
| gobbe | Zeu5: what is the filesystem? | 05:56 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip, same computer | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ravibn: i believe gspca is part of a stock install | 05:56 |
| Zeu5 | the filesystem of the external portable hdd is NTFS | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: ok and did you detach the drive from the system? | 05:56 |
| Zeu5 | nad its a USB 2.0 | 05:56 |
| ruby_on_tails | hi | 05:56 |
| ruby_on_tails | i want to install cron on my machine | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: its already installed | 05:56 |
| gobbe | ruby_on_tails: cron is installed by default | 05:56 |
| ruby_on_tails | ok | 05:56 |
| ruby_on_tails | but | 05:56 |
| ravibn | ActionParsnip, can you elaborate on that pl | 05:57 |
| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip, i do not understand what you mean by detach the drive. its external hdd | 05:57 |
| ruby_on_tails | if i set it to run a script every 5 mins will the script execute if i turn off my machine ? | 05:57 |
| Flam | Hi I'm trying to SSH to my server without a password (for rsync). I ran "sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f /home/Flam/cron/a-rsync-key" on Ubuntu 10.04 and got the .pub file and the private key, then I did "sudo cat a-rsync-key.pub >>.ssh/authorized_keys" on the remote host. Now I'm stumped :P Some guidance as to what to do next would be appreciated. Also, where do I put the private key? | 05:57 |
| ruby_on_tails | and | 05:57 |
| ruby_on_tails | after restart will the cron work ? | 05:57 |
| gobbe | Zeu5: if you just unplug the drive without proper "ejecting" filesystem might mess up | 05:57 |
| Zeu5 | gobbe, i may have done that previously. so what shd i do? | 05:57 |
| gobbe | ruby_on_tails: anacron runs missed crons | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: youo can unplug the drive from the system by grabbing the usb cable and pulling it out of the port, thhis is "detaching" the drive as it is then a seperate device. Has this happened? | 05:57 |
| Zeu5 | gobbe, i now have 2 external hdd. 1 is the troubled one. and the other is 1 i just bought 5 mins ago from a hardware store. | 05:58 |
| gobbe | Zeu5: when you remove drive you unmount/eject it to avoid messing up filesystem | 05:58 |
| ruby_on_tails | gobbe: i want the cron to run when my machine is on and then trn off with the machine and then work only when my machine is restareted i dont want it to work on the missed ones | 05:58 |
| Zeu5 | i want to preserve the files inside the first hdd. and at the same time frn now onwards, eliminate such problems in future | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: the healthy new drive is of no interest as it is not at fault | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: are you going to answer the question......? | 05:59 |
| Zeu5 | right now the external hdd is detached | 05:59 |
| gobbe | ruby_on_tails: if you add it */5 it will run every 5 minutes when computer is on | 05:59 |

| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: ok, what steps did you go through to detach the drive? | 05:59 |
| Zeu5 | first i plugged it in | 05:59 |
| Zeu5 | then i tried to manually mount it by clicking the icon/ | 05:59 |
| Zeu5 | i get an error taht says inconsistent NTFS | 05:59 |
| gobbe | yes | 05:59 |
| gobbe | that's what happens if you remove it without proper way | 06:00 |
| ravibn | ActionParsnip , lsusb gave me this "0c45:613c Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120)" | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: no, how did you detach the device, not plug it in. Last time it was removed what steps did you take to remove it | 06:00 |
| Zeu5 | so i checked again. it is not mounted and just detach | 06:00 |
| Zeu5 | * i just unplugged it | 06:00 |
| gobbe | Zeu5: is the "detach" in your case just remove cable from computer? | 06:00 |
| gobbe | yep | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: ok, when it last mounted ok, how was it removed | 06:00 |
| gobbe | Zeu5: that's not proper way | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: you are mistreating your hardware | 06:00 |
| gobbe | Zeu5: you need to unmount/eject it from operating system (same in windows and linux) | 06:01 |
| Zeu5 | okie 1 at a time. ActionParsnip i cannot remember the last time how i did it. i have procrastinated this issue for some time so today i can devote some time to resolve it | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: you MUST use the safetly eject hardware facility in nautilus so the filesystem can be synced and caches can be flushed | 06:01 |
| Zeu5 | gobbe, yes so i want to learn the proper way | 06:01 |
| shcherbak | How to selectively remove decoration in metacity? | 06:01 |

| Zeu5 | ActionParsnip, okie so wat do i do now? i probably need to format this external hdd yes? | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Zeu5: I suggest you plug the device into a windows PC and chkdsk the partition, then use the safetly remove feature in windows (bottom right tray near the time) and then it will be fine. | 06:02 |
| Zeu5 | okie. | 06:02 |

| bluezone | rescue START END | 06:16 |
| bluezone | where Start is the area of the disk where you believe the partition began and END is it's end. If parted finds a potential partition, it will ask you if you want to add it to the partition table. WHat exactly do these values have to be, integers? locations?????? | 06:16 |

| kuttans | how can i use my mobile as a modem for connecting to 3g. i almost tried all those forums without any positive result. The problem is sometimes it detects as modem and get connected with good stability and sometimes altogether it rejects saying there is no such thing called modem | 06:17 |
| White-Horse | if you watch those 2 vids you will see | 06:17 |
| sam-_- | bluezone, the man page will tell you more | 06:17 |
| bluezone | the man page for what, sam-_- | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | ActionParsnip: I could do that. But it would not help me. My question is another one: I'd like to know what people mean by a "wireless extension". | 06:18 |
| bluezone | sam-_-: parted? | 06:18 |
| kuttans | can anyone tell how can i check a modem with wvdial conf with more debug information. what im getting is that its trying ttyACM0 for some speed and says not available or error | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | White-Horse: don't use sudo nautilus like the moron in the video advises, it breaks systems | 06:19 |

| White-Horse | thanks you ActionParsnip i will try with your 2 guides | 06:21 |
| kuttans | any forum you know of which is very active about the mobile as modem + 3g + ubuntu | 06:21 |
| GatorAlli | its on a server | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | White-Horse: the 2nd guide makes the boot use the fb driver and will be fine | 06:22 |
| GatorAlli | "/usr/share/java/" | 06:22 |
| GatorAlli | ? | 06:22 |
| shcherbak | nytek_: you mean to ipod? Not every format is supported, you would need to convert them. I remember that amarok had also some features of this sort. | 06:22 |
| ActionParsnip | GatorAlli: if you want, as long as the server can access the file it doesn't matter | 06:22 |

| White-Horse | ActionParsnip will it be ok with hdmi 1920x1080 ? | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | White-Horse: when the desktop appears, the nvidia driver will load and do whatever it should. I don't use hdmi | 06:23 |
| White-Horse | ActionParsnip ok thank you for your time and help :) | 06:24 |
| ActionParsnip | White-Horse: the hwinfo will tell you what res the fb driver can do on your hardware config, you should then choose one and apply it to the rest of the guide when a resolution is mentioned | 06:24 |

| ddman | Dr_Willis, how do i setup the apt ? | 07:14 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: but this is not a recent system ... also the Desktop Effects work ootb in 9.10 | 07:14 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: and I am told it worked as well in 10.04 :P | 07:14 |
| zetheroo | just not in 10.10 | 07:14 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: will that work while using vesa? ... ;) | 07:15 |
| C3D | how would i enable dhcp | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ddman: no idea what kgdb even is. I just know how to use the '!find' factoid to have the bot search for a string. | 07:15 |
| sam-_- | Dr_Willis, are you referring to the pulsbo mess or arrandale? | 07:15 |
| shcherbak | zetheroo: well, if i knew there would be no "?" | 07:15 |
| ddman | Dr_Willis, yes right. I need it for 10.04 . But where i get the packages from ? | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | C3D: you mean install a dhcp server? or set the networking to default to using dhcp. | 07:16 |

| C3D | install a dhcp server | 07:16 |
| zetheroo | interestingly when I try to boot from a 10.04 disc the Ubuntu logo will show for a while loading the system .. and then it will fall into a black screen and do nothing ... no blinking cursor ... nothing | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | C3D: dhcp3-server - DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: on nvidia systems. I HAVE to use the 'nomodeset' option on the live cd for me to even boot up to the desktop. | 07:17 |
| zetheroo | so I can boot off of a 10.10 disk - and for get about Desktop effects ... or I have to revert to 9.10 ... :D | 07:17 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: hmm ... things are breaking ... ha | 07:18 |
| XiaolinDraconis | You don't appear to have a sane system configuration. It is very likely that you | 07:18 |
| XiaolinDraconis | encounter xruns. | 07:18 |
| XiaolinDraconis | awesome | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: plymouth has always been broken. :) | 07:18 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: this being intel ... and a chipset which worked great in the past ... I would have thought it was sorted ... but I guess it's never the case :( | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: i think its been fixed up a lot in 11.04 | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | often with video drivers, X versions/fix's break drivers.. that then get fixed.. that then get broken/reviel other bugs.... | 07:19 |
| gbear14275 | ok, I have a challenge... not sure if it can be done... anyone know if you can bridge a modem and ethernet connection? | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !ics | gbear14275 | 07:20 |
| ubottu | gbear14275: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 07:20 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: X meaning **.10 releases? | 07:20 |
| shcherbak | zetheroo: I do not think that intel cannot be forced, you may want to test driver solution first, and then mess with metacity (which have compositor too). | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: ages ago i had my whole lan gettting to the internet - via 1 pc and a dial up connection. :) | 07:20 |
| _skpl | mm, metacity | 07:20 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: well all I really want to do is load 10.04 now | 07:20 |
| meco | How do I add the volume control to the panel in 10.0.4? | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: i mean X itself. :) its constantly updateing things.. and showing up bugs in drivers for various hardware. | 07:21 |
| shcherbak | zetheroo: if not cd, usb is option. | 07:21 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: that is inspirational... although me spending the next 4 hours working on it will be less so... you do house calls doc? ;) | 07:21 |
| XiaolinDraconis | indicator applet | 07:21 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: tried USB as well ... same thing | 07:21 |
| XiaolinDraconis | meco, its apart of the indicator applet | 07:21 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: I see | 07:22 |
| r3in | gbear14275, do you mean, being able to dial in from somewhere, and accessing Internet through your network? | 07:22 |
| meco | xia | 07:22 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ya | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: if you got a PC that has access to the internet through one interface, and to the lan on a 2nd interface.. it shouldent be too hard to get it setup as the gateway/router for the rest of the lan. | 07:22 |
| meco | XiaolinDraconis: Ok, found it! | 07:22 |
| magn3ts | Can anyone recommend a method|application by which I could play an MP3 and having one channel|(left|right) play slightly slower than the other? | 07:22 |
| shcherbak | zetheroo: alternative? or maybe new image... | 07:22 |
| XiaolinDraconis | yw | 07:22 |
| ox3a | I have installed KDE in Ubuntu 10.10 But it is displaying ubuntu and kde splash both. How can i disable the ubuntu boot screen splash please? | 07:23 |
| gbear14275 | r3in: I have an old tecra 8000 computer here which only has a modem port. I'm hoping there might be someway I can get it a connection to the internet through my T61's modem port | 07:23 |
| shcherbak | magn3ts: amixer and mplayer | 07:23 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: I have tried about 7 freshly burned DVD's and CD's ... with 3 different ISO's of the same 10.04 release ... | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: find a player that can mute one channel. and slow down playback, then run it twice. :) one for channel 1, one for channel 2 thats slower. | 07:23 |
| solid_liq | magn3ts, that's kind of tough to pull off without altering the frequencies of the sound | 07:23 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: I have not tried alternative | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: now why you want to do this... ive no idea... | 07:23 |
| shcherbak | zetheroo: it maybe faster to 9.10 -> 10.04 | 07:23 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, you are gonna have so many wierd problems, not critical ones but frustrating ones. trust me i did this too. | 07:24 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, I thoguht of that, but that seems rather inelegant | 07:24 |
| jaysern | lucid appears to crash when i attempt to install sun-java6-jre. is this a known problem ? | 07:24 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: however if it don't run off the CD then it will very likely be a headache once it is installed | 07:24 |
| glaceman | hey guys i have a problem with my wireless network, by mistake i disconnected the network im currently logged in, and now it dosen;'t wanna reconnect, until i had to restart my computer for it to work again | 07:24 |
| zetheroo | shcherbak: you mean install 9.10 and update to 10.04? | 07:24 |
| shcherbak | zetheroo: yes | 07:24 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, i wouldnt change to a kde session if i were you... least not without making a new user to run it | 07:24 |
| magn3ts | The question of why is silly to explain. :P | 07:24 |
| shcherbak | magn3ts: one more, full combain: Audiacity | 07:25 |
| coz_ | oxox3 try sudo dpkg-recofigure gdm and choose kde ....see if that remedies the issue | 07:25 |
| magn3ts | Mmm | 07:25 |
| Eagle | Hi all :) | 07:25 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, I need only KDE so i removed GDM | 07:25 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, Just i need to disable the default Ubuntu boot screen/splash | 07:26 |
| shcherbak | magn3ts: vlc have also capability to slower things, but you need, as said, also two players. | 07:26 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, that works though i use kdm with a gnome session | 07:26 |
| coz_ | ox3a, sorry that was suppose to be sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 07:26 |
| lazarus_ | morning all | 07:26 |
| shcherbak | ox3a: install kdm, and make it default. | 07:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, are u referring to plymouth? the loading screen after grub? | 07:27 |
| beginer | afternoon lazarus_ | 07:27 |
| jaysern | what version of java is best to use on Lucid? I tried installing sun-java6-jre and it appears to hang the system | 07:27 |
| replicasex | what's the command to show the menu in nautilius if you have it hidden? | 07:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | he has kdm | 07:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | comes with kde desktop | 07:27 |
| magn3ts | lol, I guess I'll stick with my earbuds + speakers combo. It may be an additional effect anyway. | 07:27 |
| lazarus_ | beginer: 7:27AM here | 07:27 |
| Lint01 | replicasex, f9/f10? | 07:27 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, how did you install it. via partner repos? | 07:28 |
| jaysern | yes | 07:28 |
| beginer | no way thats not possible, lazarus_ | 07:28 |
| replicasex | Lint01, thanks. | 07:28 |
| jaysern | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" | 07:28 |
| sam-_- | beginer, lazarus_ only in the land of the queen :-) | 07:28 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, It would be better for me if i can disable boot logo/screen/splash and detault will be the kde splash | 07:28 |
| magn3ts | hangs the whole system? ouch! | 07:28 |
| shcherbak | replicasex: Ctlr-m? does Alt-f works? | 07:28 |
| john___ | hi, I am trying to get my ubuntu box to broadcast its hostname, but I have exhausted my abilities - I have edited my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to have 'send host-name "tv";', but ping tv from remote machines fails, any suggestions? | 07:29 |
| beginer | hee hee | 07:29 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, Need to work in plymouth? | 07:29 |
| beginer | GMT+0:0 lazr | 07:29 |
| beginer | GMT+0:0 lazarus_ | 07:29 |
| lazarus_ | sam-_-: yes indeed i am | 07:29 |
| magn3ts | john__, jesus, it's a nightmare. i spent hours trying and ended up with a completely borken network config from installing winbind. I'd love to know what the answer is. | 07:29 |
| sam-_- | lazarus_, i know... | 07:29 |
| beginer | me too | 07:30 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, is it the loading screen immediately after grub or is it after login | 07:30 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: this might be a little harder than I thought... Can I do ICS through my modem port? as in using my modem port to link two computers one of which is connected to the internet (either by ethernet or wireless)? | 07:30 |
| Eagle | Dose any one know how good ubuntu 10.10 is with old computers????? Such as a HP Pentium 4 with 128MB RAM ???? | 07:30 |
| Lint01 | i need a prime generator, is it in? | 07:30 |
| Lint01 | Eagle, NO | 07:30 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, how do you install it? ubuntu-software center? | 07:30 |
| magn3ts | !hostname | 07:31 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 07:31 |
| jaysern | sam-_- no, aptitude install | 07:31 |
| Lint01 | Eagle, linux is not usable under 512 MB of ram | 07:31 |
| jaysern | i only have SSH access | 07:31 |
| achpile | Good day. Excuse me, could you help me. I'm using OpenWRT. And something like this: "tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: tfsc 40" gives error "RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory" | 07:31 |
| magn3ts | see that's not helpful, thats the default config. >_< | 07:31 |
| sam-_- | Eagle, you won't have fun with 128mb ram. | 07:31 |
| gbear14275 | r3in: sorry... dropped myself off the net on accident... wasn't sure if you said anything after I explained | 07:31 |
| sam-_- | Eagle, at least not with gnome | 07:31 |
| magn3ts | my router sees cole-ubuntu-desktop > 192.168.1.100 but no windows machines do :( | 07:31 |
| coz_ | Eagle, well.. what is on that system right now? | 07:31 |
| edgar | excuse me im using blckbuntu os but i dont know a lot of thigs some tips? | 07:31 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, did you try apt-get? | 07:32 |
| Lint01 | does ssh has utility to generating primes? | 07:32 |
| Lint01 | or any otehr ubuntu [ackage? | 07:32 |
| jaysern | sam-_-: isn't aptitude better ? is there a difference? | 07:32 |
| Eagle | 07:32 | |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: ive had this setup in the past - internet -> dialup modem -> PC1 gateway --LAN --> rest of the PC's | 07:32 |
| Eagle | coz_: What do you want to know about it? | 07:32 |
| beginer | ? | 07:32 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, OK explain: When i start/power on my PC it show Ubuntu screen and after login showing kde splash | 07:32 |
| coz_ | Eagle, no I asked what is on that system right now? what do you have running? | 07:32 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, i think aptitude use apt. | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: more ram would help that pc out greately.. and Lubuntu should run on it ok. | 07:33 |
| shcherbak | Lint01: primes | 07:33 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, ok so its a plymouth splash | 07:33 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, not better no. they are entirely different. aptitude is a gui. | 07:33 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, apt is not | 07:33 |
| jaysern | but i've been using aptitude this entire time over my SSH | 07:33 |
| Lint01 | jaysern, they use same apt library, but they are both bad | 07:33 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: ok what I'm wondering if possible is this: Internet --> PC1 gateway (wireless/ethernet) --> PC2 via modem port | 07:34 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, Oh i see. What to change there ? | 07:34 |
| Eagle | 07:34 | |
| Eagle | coz_: Linux Mint. | 07:34 |
| jaysern | ok, so how do i install java on lucid ? | 07:34 |
| coz_ | Eagle, ok ... does it run well ? | 07:34 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, i just thought apt-get may give you an error message or you can see what is going on+ | 07:34 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, http://ubuntuguide.net/howto-change-plymouth-themes-initial-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-10-04 | 07:34 |
| jaysern | sam-_-: i'm reoobting the machine because it looks like it crashed miserably | 07:34 |
| jaysern | i will bring it back up and try again with apt | 07:34 |
| Eagle | 07:35 | |
| Eagle | coz_: Its fair. But im not used to Mint. | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: you can set up 2 pc's with modems to dial into each other yes.. | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: i recall a 'isp howto' at the tldp.org site years ago | 07:35 |
| coz_ | Eagle, oh ok... yeah mint is a paint in the rear ...my opinion... as Dr_Willis mentioned ... lubuntu should work fairly well on that system but it is lxde as the desktop envrionment... not gnome... | 07:36 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: ok... I'll try to look there. What is the proper term for connecting 2 PC's via the modem port? Direct connection? or... is there a term? (looking for google hits) | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: no idea. I just recall seeing the info about it years ago in some 'make your own dial up isp' guides | 07:36 |
| r3in | hmm | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even have home phones any more to even do that. :) | 07:37 |
| Eagle | coz_: Its just for searching the net really. | 07:37 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, What if i delete /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth ? | 07:37 |
| jaysern | ok, so i run apt-get install and get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 07:38 |
| jaysern | and when i run dpkg --configure -a it crashes the machine | 07:38 |
| coz_ | Eagle, oh ok there are other alternatives... damn small linux... austrumi which can be run from memory alone... and other small linux distributions | 07:38 |
| gbear14275 | modem ports... rj 9 right? | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !plymouth | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 07:38 |
| r3in | if doing that, you likely would need a dtfm emulator, and or (the other pc could be an emulator) but you would need a way to (iirc 5v) power the phone line itself, so the modem dialing, thinks its connected to a line, not a dead cable | 07:38 |
| r3in | but thats just specualtion | 07:38 |
| sam-_- | jaysern, does it say anything else? | 07:38 |
| Eagle | coz_: I herd 10.10 was good | 07:39 |
| r3in | uh, also iirc, the game descent could dial into other computers to play directly | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | it seems to change your Plymouth themes . you use the 'alternatives' tools/method. | 07:39 |
| coz_ | Eagle, ah ok... mm well then try the lubuntu version... | 07:39 |
| r3in | i belive it was called direct com communication | 07:39 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, not sure but its prolly not a good idea to just delete it. change it first then maybe you can but i wouldnt know | 07:39 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, i use the gui that that mentions | 07:39 |
| sam-_- | r3in, com port is the serial port. | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !info galternatives | 07:40 |
| ubottu | galternatives (source: galternatives): graphical setup tool for the alternatives system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.5+nmu2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 29 kB, installed size 292 kB | 07:40 |
| jaysern | wow. i just ran dpkg, and it worked this time | 07:40 |
| jaysern | hmm | 07:40 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, Actually i am remastering Ubuntu and GUI wont work | 07:40 |
| Lint01 | why prime generator is a 'game'? | 07:40 |
| red2kic | Hi. I'd like someone to enable Samba sharing on a random folder -- then pastebinit the /etc/samba/smb.conf -- If you could do that, that'd be great. :D | 07:40 |
| gusg | when I hit Ctrl-F in nautiulus, what kind of search is that? I'd like to search within text files | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | red2kic: a user enabling shareing . does not alter the smb.conf file | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | red2kic: /var/lib/samba/usershares/ is where that info gets changed at | 07:41 |
| * Lint01 envies people who can just search through their text files... | 07:42 | |
| Dr_Willis | grep pattern files and you can to... Lint01 :) | 07:42 |
| red2kic | Dr_Willis: I have been grinding on this samba setup for some time now. /etc/samba/usershare.conf are included in /etc/samba/smb.conf for me. | 07:42 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, remastering the hard way eh... | 07:43 |
| C3D | im using gnu nano to edit dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. when i go to save the file i get file name to write /dhcpd.conf but when i go to press enter it says permission denied. how do i save the file? | 07:43 |
| Lint01 | Dr_Willis, not until grep will learn to auto-detect encodings :( | 07:43 |
| ox3a | XiaolinDraconis, Everything done but this simple thing is not done yet | 07:43 |
| red2kic | C3D: Lack of sudo. | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | C3D: sudo nano /pat/to/file | 07:44 |
| C3D | thanks | 07:44 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ox3a, you can ask in pm | 07:46 |
| gusg | how does gedit auto-detect encodings? Do files contain metadata about their encoding? I would kind of like to be able to open any file and see what it looks like in ASCII | 07:47 |
| sam-_- | gusg, no. it searches for special characters. then decides. | 07:48 |
| Lint01 | gusg, you will need indexer like tracker & al. | 07:49 |

| asyraff | for acer aspire 4315 | 08:02 |
| asyraff | ??? | 08:03 |
| ethana2 | asyraff; i have done bios updates three ways | 08:03 |
| silvery | hidnshadows: got a question | 08:03 |
| asyraff | ethana2, using usb? | 08:03 |
| ethana2 | through the kernel, via cd, and via floppy | 08:03 |
| jeus | how to install Gnome desktop on ubuntu Sever 64 also Run First | 08:03 |
| hidnshadows | silvery go ahead, or you can PM if you want | 08:03 |
| asyraff | ethana2, which one is safer? | 08:03 |
| areay | hi all.. i'm using UEC -- is it possible to have more than one VM per cpu core? i understand this is the default but is there a way to override it? | 08:04 |
| ethana2 | only one or two are options at any given point | 08:04 |
| ethana2 | it depends on the exact case, i've had to use windows for bios updates before | 08:04 |
| gudmund | no, i find nothing about the audacious issue... | 08:04 |
| silvery | is there any possibility to find some kind of virtual video driver for Ubuntu 10.10 (running in vmware) | 08:05 |
| silvery | ? | 08:05 |
| asyraff | ethana2, owh...if linux? how? | 08:05 |
| ethana2 | what bios exactly? | 08:05 |
| hidnshadows | silvery let me try to get this straight, you're looking for an alternate video driver, for ubuntu desktop 10.10 running in vmware, correct? | 08:05 |
| silvery | yep | 08:06 |
| hidnshadows | silvery why are you looking for another driver, is the standard one corrupted? | 08:06 |
| asyraff | ethana2, i get this bios from acer... this is the link http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_4315.html | 08:06 |
| jeus | how to install Gnome desktop on ubuntu Sever 64 also Run First | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: install the ubuntu-desktop package is the normal wya | 08:06 |
| silvery | nope, just want it to fully support 3D (in vmware) | 08:07 |
| hidnshadows | silvery have you checked the repos? | 08:07 |

| Dr_Willis | silvery: full 3d support in vmware and virtualbox - is a 'work in progress' has been for some time. | 08:08 |

| silvery | I used to install ati drivers and this haven't fixed anything, I realize that vmware got it own kinda-virtual-video adapter, so I wonder is there any alternate drivers to it, that fully supports 3D... | 08:09 |

| dabdab | Hi. I'm running a fresh install of 10.04 and my Linksys WMP54G Wireless PCI card refuses to find any networks, regardless of security settings. Identified properly if I run lspci and is listed as wlan0 if I run ifconfig. Ralink rt2500 Chipset and used to work perfectly with 8.04 release. Any ideas? | 08:09 |
| ethana2 | unfortunate.. can't say, maybe someone else can | 08:09 |
| asyraff | ethana2, hurm...ok...thx | 08:10 |
| sam-_- | Dr_Willis, google translate did not know either | 08:10 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, can I install Desktop On Ubuntu Server From Ubuntu Desktop Cd | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: yes. the package name is 'ubuntu-desktop' | 08:10 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: you are better off installing the ubuntu 'desktop' edition, then installing what services you need.. then to install the server edition then try to get a desktop working. | 08:11 |
| nawk | sam-_-, http://i.imgur.com/MViG5.jpg | 08:13 |
| hidnshadows | Okay, so kind of a weird question but I'm the linux junkie in my family. I'm looking for maybe some kind of server solution, that would allow Outlook Express and iPhone calendars, to be synced into one centralized computer, pref. running linux. Any ideas? | 08:13 |
| Poshepocket | This is HORRIBLE. Every time I open "home" BANSHEE POPS UP. | 08:13 |

| ethana2 | shai? coleman? | 08:14 |
| sam-_- | nawk, use a different theme then | 08:14 |
| hidnshadows | shai__, you mean like a BASIC installer? Or are you looking for a CLI version? | 08:14 |
| nawk | sam-_- its not a theme issue | 08:14 |
| Bluefever | My primary and only operating system right now is Ubuntu 10.10, a while back I wiped my hard disk and did a fresh install. However, now I want to play some games that only fair well on windows so I want to install Windows 7. What I want to know is how can I make a partition for Windows, say about 40GB, and also have Ubuntu as my Primary. Also, I'm somewhat of a novice. | 08:14 |
| shai__ | hidnshadows: I think basic ... | 08:14 |
| nawk | I really need help with this | 08:15 |
| nawk | its bothering me | 08:15 |
| bullgard4 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo: "If all devices listed say "no wireless extensions." then your wireless card is not configured." What is a »wireless extension«? 'man iwconfig' does not tell. | 08:15 |
| sam-_- | nawk, some themes need certain "engines" installed | 08:15 |
| ethana2 | shai, try the alternate cd | 08:15 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, I'm Worry about unable to config current work as network and SVN and FTP and Other | 08:15 |
| usbboot | how do i re-install xubuntu from terminal? | 08:15 |
| nawk | sam-_- any suggestions? But those UI looks like primitive X'ish | 08:16 |
| hidnshadows | Bluefever, on the disc install menu, it gives you an option to create partitions, it isn't really that hard though it may seem it at first | 08:16 |
| sam-_- | nawk, try with installing gtk2-engines | 08:16 |
| usbboot | i haven't been able to install 10.04 from cd to usb.. | 08:16 |
| bullgard4 | Bluefever: You can do that using GParted. | 08:16 |
| sam-_- | nawk, then selecting a theme | 08:16 |
| Scotty | the windows bootloader might become the default after you install it | 08:16 |
| sam-_- | nawk, it is a theme issue. trust me. | 08:16 |
| kam8ing | testin2 | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: configuring services should be the same on desktop or server editions | 08:16 |
| usbboot | i have 8.04 now... | 08:16 |
| gbear14275 | grr... :( | 08:17 |
| hidnshadows | bluefever scotty No, the bootloader is GRUB. You install windows first, then ubuntu, but GRUB2[?] is the bootloader. WBM is only if you're using Wubi | 08:17 |
| asyraff | help me...how to update bios using usb in linux?? | 08:17 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, yes I See install Server With Shell And Terminal Only | 08:17 |
| hidnshadows | asyraff, what do you mean by USB? | 08:17 |
| Dr_Willis | asyraff: one normally boots some sort of freedos live cd/flash drive and uses the mb makers tools to flash the bios. | 08:18 |
| Bluefever | So should I create the 40GB partition before hand with GParted, or will I be able to do it during the windows install. | 08:18 |
| asyraff | hidnshadows, use usb stick to update bios | 08:18 |
| hidnshadows | Bluefever you have which OS installed aleady? | 08:18 |
| Bluefever | Ubuntu 10.10 | 08:18 |
| christhecoolboy | back | 08:18 |
| asyraff | Dr_Willis, hurm...i dont understand... | 08:19 |
| hidnshadows | Bluefever if you install windows, then ubuntu, the LiveCD has a menu page during installation that will allow you to make partitions and a bootloader | 08:19 |
| === Scotty is now known as Scott` | ||
| Dr_Willis | asyraff: make a bootable flash drive.. that boots freedos, copy the mB makers bios and flash tools to the flash drive.. boot the usb.. use the tools. | 08:19 |
| nawk | sam-_-, its not the border/frames issue. can you look at the picture and pay attention to the buttons, scrollbars and such ? | 08:20 |
| usbboot | can't unlock admin directory? can't rebuild ? | 08:20 |
| nawk | gtk2-engines is installed | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | asyraff: some MB makers have built in bios features to read/flaash the bios from teh bios menus these days | 08:20 |
| Bluefever | Well, I know it is reccomended to do Windows, and then Ubuntu, but I was looking to do the reverse. | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Bluefever: you will need to reinstall grub to the mbr then. Unless you are using 2 seperate hard drives | 08:20 |
| sam-_- | nawk, believe me i do understand :-) i had the same issue once | 08:21 |
| Bluefever | Alright, but what if Ubuntu doesn't show up in the partitions. | 08:21 |
| Bluefever | I read that somewhere | 08:21 |
| asyraff | Dr_Willis, hurm...i've follow the instruction from this site http://0sumgain.blogspot.com/2009/11/updating-motherboard-bios-from-ubuntu.html?showComment=1262429971912#c6813688077983055525 | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | asyraff: see also http://www.linux-sxs.org/hardware/flash_boot_cd.html | 08:22 |
| hidnshadows | bluefever it may not be possible, I haven't worked with windows installs enough to know. Here's a link and a warning, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot and now the warning: It's advised that you stay away from wubi, it's extremely fragile. Whatever you do, back your stuff up | 08:22 |
| nawk | sam-_- well, picture is worth a thousand words. Atm, i'm using compiz-fusion everything works like a charm | 08:22 |
| nawk | sam-_-, can you help me with this? :-) | 08:22 |
| Scott` | windows cant read ext* so it probably wont see ubuntu | 08:22 |
| Scott` | it doesnt recognize them when im booted into windows | 08:22 |
| sam-_- | nawk, i would try installing a different theme. | 08:22 |
| sam-_- | like clearlooks | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Scott`: yep, windows sucks like that, theres fs-driver.org which will give read access the etx2 and ext3 | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | has fs-driver.org's tool been updated to windows7 yet? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: no idea, i havent used windows in dual boot for years | 08:23 |
| asyraff | Dr_Willis, but....i dont want to use cdrom...i want to use usb-stick | 08:24 |
| nawk | sam-_- changing the theme (like clearlooks) doesn't change the way the UI components (buttons, scrollbar, menus) looks | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | asyraff: so make a bootable usb stick | 08:24 |
| nawk | its still primitive | 08:24 |
| asyraff | Dr_Willis, same steps? | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Scott`: whats funny though is that the ext4 definitions are freely available so MS could incorporate it, yet they are tat shortsighted and havent. Yet the proprietary NTFS which is not disclosed can be written and read fully by Linux. | 08:24 |
| Dr_Willis | asyraff: i would imaghine so. | 08:24 |
| Scott` | lol | 08:24 |
| shai__ | hidnshadows: any idea? | 08:25 |
| hidnshadows | actionparsnip they're too busy trying to fix their own code, to worry about others' | 08:25 |
| Bluefever | Thanks all for the advice! | 08:25 |
| sam-_- | nawk, download this: http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/gtk2/1377/GTK2-ClearlooksCompact.tar.bz2 | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: I think it's pretty pathetic personally | 08:25 |
| sam-_- | nawk, then install via appearance pregs | 08:25 |
| sam-_- | nawk, then install via appearance prefs | 08:25 |
| nawk | sam-_-, i have it | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: it says it supports win 2008, so 7 may be ok | 08:26 |
| hidnshadows | actionparsnip pretty much, and their users aren't very friendly. But, that's a bit o4o | 08:26 |
| Scott` | windows 7 and 2008 are practically identical | 08:26 |
| hidnshadows | shai__, your problem was you wanted an alternate installer, right? | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: workaroud...use dropbox ;) | 08:26 |
| hidnshadows | ActionParsnip, dropbox? | 08:26 |
| gbear14275 | can I do a CLI install using a normal ubuntu install cd? | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | gbear14275: No. | 08:27 |
| === ricky_ is now known as Guest53691 | ||
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: web storage which autosyncs (like rsync) when new files are added / editted in the dropbox folder | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | gbear14275: you can use minimal to install the core of the OS and build up, if thats what you mean.... | 08:28 |
| gbear14275 | is it possible to connect to the internet via modem during install? | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | gbear14275: If your modem is supported, yes. | 08:28 |
| hidnshadows | ActionParsnip, and that's responding to what? No offense but my attention span is- ooh shiny | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | !alternate | gbear14275 shai__ | 08:28 |
| ubottu | gbear14275 shai__: 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 | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | gbear14275: network manager is present at the install time so you can configure the connection. If you need drivers and such you can press CTRL+ALT+T and setup the modem | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: no ext4 access in windows, use the web to store data | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: its like ubuntuone but works on more devices | 08:29 |
| gbear14275 | ActionParsnip: Jordan_U: Thank you | 08:29 |
| Scott` | and its multi platform | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | even works on Android phones :) | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | gbear14275: You're welcome. | 08:30 |
| Scott` | ya | 08:30 |
| hidnshadows | ActionParsnip, aaaah very clever! The only problem would be security integrity, but if it works | 08:30 |
| Scott` | i have dropbox on my windows install, my ubuntu install and on my android | 08:30 |
| gbear14275 | I'm trying to install lubuntu onto an older system (Tecra 8000) and have no clue how to get it to the internet as it has no ethernet port. Trying to figure out how to create a bridge or something with my T61 right now to get internet to the Tecra 8000 | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: its as secure as your webmail as you use your email address and dropbox pass to authenticate when you install the client | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics | gbear14275 | 08:31 |

Which program to use in order to make patch, xdelta(3) or diff. Please help me to choose. There is not to much differ between versions. Sorry for my poor english. | 08:31 |
| Scott` | what's the point of the | :/ | 08:31 |
| hidnshadows | ActionParsnip, I'll have to look that up. I personally use my iTouch as a LAN server | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Scott`: highlights the nick of the user | 08:32 |

| gbear14275 | ActionParsnip: was looking at that earlier... but all I have is a phone line and that option is not in connection manager | 08:32 |
| Scott` | what is the point of !ics | blah when you can just do !ics blah | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics scott | 08:32 |
| Scott` | exactly | 08:32 |
| Scott` | why is the | needed | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Scott`: because it makes it work, the pipe IS needed | 08:32 |
| Scott` | of course >_> | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Scott`: try it, try: !ics ActionParsnip | 08:33 |
| hidnshadows | shai__, try looking at this http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download | 08:33 |
| shai__ | ok thanks :) | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Scott`: the pipe pipes the text in the channel, you can also use > to redirect so the text is only seen by the intended recipient | 08:33 |
| hidnshadows | shai__, no problem, and good luck | 08:33 |
| Scott` | i see | 08:34 |

| * Dr_Willis wonders what a 6p2c cable even is.... | 08:38 | |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | z4chh | 08:38 |
| ubottu | z4chh: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 08:38 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: technically correct name for what many call RJ9/11... I've been googling and learning alot tonight | 08:38 |
| Johbe | Any preseed expert around? | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: hhmm a term ive never heard used in 20+ years of messing with pc's.... heh - YOu are refering to useing 2 modems and a PHONE cable? or a serial 9 pin cable? | 08:39 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: phone cable | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: with 2 modems.. its possible. | 08:40 |
| YeTr2 | 'an alternative to ufw is iptables' ? haha | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | slow... but possible | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: dont ecpectit to be a 2 clicks and its working - sort of thing. | 08:40 |

| hidnshadows | One of my laptops running ubuntu will randomly halt power and restart, where would be the best place to start looking for a cause? | 08:41 |
| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: yeah... I'm figuring i'll be working alot | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: 6p2c == RJ11 | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant even imagine the slowness of doing a 56K modem -> modem connection :) and trying to update an OS these days | 08:42 |

| Vain9 | I just got Ubuntu this morning. | 08:49 |
| Vain9 | First Linux distro I've ever used. | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain9: if you run: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 you should see the name of the wireless interface | 08:49 |
| Vain9 | Cell 02 is my network. | 08:49 |
| Vain9 | But i cannot connect to it. | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Vain9: trying to connect to a Cell Phone? | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain9: what is the interface name, like wlan0 or ra0 what is the name | 08:50 |
| Vain9 | I can connect via Ethernet / Phones, and wifi on Windows 7 (I'm dual booting) but Ubuntu won't pick it up, | 08:50 |
| Vain9 | ActionParsnip: eth1 | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain9: bingo. Get wicd installed and tell it to use eth1 as the interface and it will work | 08:51 |
| pharvey | Debian user since 2000. Ubuntu user since 2010. It's been fun but I just can't tolerate such a flaky gnome-desktop. Does anybody actually have a working notification area? I'm on 10.10 (which fixed some problems in 10.04, but no battery indicator is a deal breaker for me) | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain9: you will need to reboot after installing wicd | 08:51 |
| Vain9 | How would I go about installing that? sudo apt-get install widc? | 08:52 |
| * pharvey having to kill the gnome-panel and restart every login | 08:52 | |
| ActionParsnip | Vain9: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get -y install wicd | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | pharvey: i think theres some battery indicator-applets out there. I recall some at the omgubuntu or webupd8 site. | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: have you logged bugs? | 08:52 |
| pharvey | ActionParsnip: I work on open source software as my day job, actually. There are several bugs matching my symptoms. | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: ok, did you state on them that you are having the same issue? | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: what your job is is moot here | 08:53 |
| Vain9 | Action: Apparently it ran the install, but it said this: * Starting Network connection manager wicd [fail] | 08:53 |
| Vain9 | Do I just reboot? | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain9: yeah reboot away | 08:53 |
| Vain9 | All right. I will be back shortly. | 08:54 |
| alket | Is there any advanced search tool that i can search text inside multiple documents ? | 08:54 |
| sheshark | is anybody using tcpkill? | 08:54 |
| Vhozard | uTorrent server files can be executed on 64bit in some kind of way? | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: grep | 08:54 |
| sheshark | is there anybody using tcpkill? | 08:55 |
| alket | ActionParsnip, i need a GUI one because i'm at office and many people use this PC | 08:55 |
| YeTr2 | sheshark: what is that? | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: could find a gui for grep then | 08:55 |
| pharvey_ | (Did I mention the wifi is crashy is since the 10.04 -> 10.10)... | 08:55 |
| === pharvey_ is now known as pharvey | ||
| pharvey | anyway; how does one go about collecting debug data on a flaky gnome-panel? | 08:56 |
| YeTr2 | sheshark: look like iptables for the lazy. | 08:56 |
| sheshark | make me get to the Internet in a lag net | 08:56 |
| Eagle | Can I install Ubuntu 10.10 on an HP Pentium 4, with 128GB of RAM for internet purposes? | 08:56 |
| pharvey | I'm tempted to blame some weird dbus interaction, but I've never had to debug that... | 08:56 |
| === zipperhead is now known as LanoX | ||
| sheshark | YeTr2: make me get to the Internet in a lag net | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Vhozard: sure, install ia32-libs and it may run. If it needs any extra libs you will need to satisfy them by downloading the deb file, extracting it and placing the lib in /usr/lib32 (i believe) | 08:56 |
| SwedeMike | Eagle: most likely, yes. | 08:56 |
| moonbuggy | hmmm i have an install of ubuntu on a laptop and i'm thinking of switching another laptop to haiku OS is there an irc channel for haiku OS so i can connect to other haiku users as i know i will still stay in touch with ubuntu on irc? | 08:57 |
| SwedeMike | Eagle: any reason you shouldn't? 128GB ram, that's a lot... sure you don't mean MB ? | 08:57 |
| YeTr2 | sheshark: that makes no sense. | 08:57 |
| Eagle | SwedeMike: I mean 128MB... :) | 08:57 |
| Vain7 | Okay, I installed wcid, and rebooted. | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: seamonkey may do it | 08:57 |
| pharvey | Try running Ubuntu 10.04 on a crappy embedded/sharedmem video system, let alone 10.10... cairo/compiz will eat all your CPU. | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain7: ok is wicd running (see notification area0 | 08:58 |
| sheshark | YeTr2: there are so many people that i cann't get to the net | 08:58 |

| gian | hi all -- gnomeradio on pc amd 64 no plays | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: runs full compiz and Gnome desktop on onboard nvidia 6150SE with 2Gb RAM, the video card uses the RAM as video ram and it runs amazingly | 08:59 |
| YeTr2 | sheshark: so, what are you trying to do? running that command I believe only works for the localhost | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain7: ok press ALT+F2 and run: wicd-client | 09:00 |
| nomic | where would I talk on freenode about web programming -- stuff like flash html5 javascript ajax -- need to talk to people about web programming -- anyone know? | 09:00 |
| sheshark | YeTr2: if so,what should i do ? | 09:00 |
| pharvey | ActionParsnip: that's a "real" gpu you have there, not some circa early-2000s i845 IGP | 09:00 |
| Vain7 | i now see a computer monitor type icon in my noticifation bar. | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | Eagle: For a machine with 128 meg of RAM I would go with lubuntu. | 09:00 |
| nomic | jordan_u -- maybe xubuntu? | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: true but it still uses the ram, as you stated... | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain7: cool ok open that up, are networks listed/ | 09:01 |
| YeTr2 | sheshark: run a QoS capable router to prioritize traffic, or deal with it. | 09:01 |
| nomic | 128meg isn't very much | 09:01 |
| nomic | it used to be a lot -- not much now | 09:01 |
| pharvey | ActionParsnip: yes, but you're probably using dual-channel 400MHz DDR right? Not some 133MHz SDRAM | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: I'd use puppy, TinyCore or dSL | 09:01 |
| Eagle | Jordan_U: Thing is I don't know lubuntu. That computers got mint on it, and im not too fond of that.... | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: single channel DDR2 as far as I'm aware | 09:02 |
| sheshark | YeTr2: thank you for your words,i must get down now. | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Lubuntu rocks :) | 09:02 |
| almoxarife | nomic: :) | 09:02 |
| nomic | oh hi almoxorife -- good to see you here | 09:03 |
| Eagle | Jordan_U: Is there any other good Ubuntu ? | 09:03 |
| Vain7 | Awh. Action, i got the connection up, but I can't connect. | 09:03 |
| Vain7 | I don't know the encryption key. | 09:03 |
| Vain7 | It's not the same as my router password. | 09:03 |
| pharvey | ActionParsnip: point is, I shouldn't need a 3rd-generation or later 3D card just to run gnome-terminal on a fresh ubuntu install, which is I discovered a few weeks ago (on 2004 hardware with a "real" 3D card w/32MB) | 09:03 |
| hidnshadows | Is there any way to (and I'm probably going to say this wrong) Emulate RAM using HDD space? | 09:03 |
| nomic | almoxarife | 09:03 |
| nomic | bbl | 09:03 |
| hidnshadows | Vain7 if you really need the key, there's a tool you may be able to use | 09:04 |
| nomic | hidnshadows the OS already does that -- it's called swap | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: hmm, weird. Could try blacklisting drivers until vesa is the only option | 09:04 |
| nomic | swapspace on your hard drive | 09:04 |
| YeTr2 | hidnshadows: you mean using swap? | 09:04 |
| almoxarife | nomic: join #club-ubuntu , can chat there | 09:04 |
| nomic | ok | 09:04 |
| nomic | im going back to #ap later almoxarife | 09:04 |
| pharvey | vesa is only slower, especially as I have to get rid of compiz to avoid the transparency in the terminal (apparently background: solid isn't enough) | 09:04 |
| hidnshadows | nomic Yeah, I completely forgot about that, sorry | 09:04 |
| Vain3 | Action; | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: go figure the transparency huh, I must have it!! rawr | 09:05 |
| hidnshadows | Vain3 how many of you are there? | 09:05 |
| pharvey | :) | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: s/he's one | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | *gone | 09:05 |
| pharvey | so I assume nobody else has had to suffer crashy gnome-panel | 09:05 |
| gian | hi all -- gnomeradio on pc amd 64 no plays: impossibile ti run /dev/radio0 -- someone can help me ? | 09:05 |
| Vain3 | hidn: my irc client randomizes my name Vain + integer | 09:05 |
| hidnshadows | vain3 which one are you using? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | pharvey: i get rid of it and make a wing panel out of AWN :) | 09:05 |
| gian | gnomeradio Initializing v4l1 failed | 09:06 |
| gian | Initializing v4l2 failed | 09:06 |
| Vain3 | Action: wcid is up, and it allows me to see my connections | 09:06 |
| Vain3 | but i cannot use it | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain3: then I suggest you check your security on the router to make sure you are using the right encryption and password | 09:07 |
| Jordan_U | Eagle: The minimum recommended RAM for Linux Mint is 256 MiB, for Xubuntu it's also 256 MiB, and for Lubuntu it's 128 MiB. So if the reason you didn't like Mint was that it felt sluggish I expect you will like Lubuntu better. | 09:07 |
| Vain3 | Action: I don't know the encryption key. | 09:08 |
| Vain3 | not sure what it would be. | 09:08 |
| YeTr2 | minimum ram for debian is 64MB | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain3: then that is outside the scope of the OS really. I suggest you check with your manual or whomever provided the device | 09:09 |
| Vain3 | Provided what device, the router, the pc, or what? | 09:09 |
| Jordan_U | YeTr2: That's not really for a Desktop system as most would expect though. | 09:09 |
| pharvey | debian in 64MB? Maybe with no X. I struggled to get a working debian with fluxbox and 128MB, and that was years ago | 09:10 |
| YeTr2 | Jordan_U: pharvey you can get X running in 64MB | 09:10 |
| Drule | I'm not fully familiar with how Linux works, so is it possible to have an Ubuntu executable on a USB stick so that I can plug and run the application on any Ubuntu computer without having to install it? | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain3: the router obviously, you are trying to connect to the router and are unsure of the security in the router | 09:10 |
| greppy | Drule: yes, it is possible. | 09:10 |
| Drule | Alright. | 09:11 |
| pharvey | YeTr2: and still be able to open a text editor? (I joke... but kinda serious. 128MB left me barely enough to run abiword or a web browser) | 09:11 |
| Vain3 | So I need to contact my ISP, or could i log in to the router and find the key/disable the encryption? | 09:11 |
| Jordan_U | YeTr2: X alone does not a Desktop system make :) | 09:11 |
| YeTr2 | pharvey: you don't need much ram for vi | 09:11 |
| Eagle | Jordan_U: Its not sluggish at all, maybe its 256MB I will cheak later, but if its 256MB will Ubuntu 10.10 work??? I find it easyer to use, but if i have to stick with mint then i shull. | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Vain3: you may have a manual with it in but they may know | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagle: i'd use puppy, it'll be a lot smoother for you | 09:12 |
| Vain3 | Well, it's currently 4:12 AM, so I doubt my ISP is open. | 09:12 |
| Vain3 | :P | 09:12 |
| pharvey | YeTr2: vim-lite still uses ~10MB SHR on a blank document... When I had my 128MB system, I was killing the ttys idling in the background so I could have more terminals open in X. | 09:12 |
| === violetstreak is now known as `violetstreak | ||
| pharvey | vim-lite? I mean to say vim-full. | 09:12 |
| * pharvey bitter at computing today | 09:13 | |

| Lint01 | word 97 is nice and run on 32 MB machines | 09:14 |
| Eagle | ActionParsnip: Ya I would if I knew it. Im new to Linux and Ubuntu. Since windows screwed me. But you say it will work well, What version? | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagle: 5.2 is the latest stable | 09:14 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: He's said that speed is *not* his primary issue at the moment, rather useability is. | 09:14 |
| pharvey | greppy: isn't nvi ancient history? | 09:15 |
| Lint01 | Eagle, 256 MB is below reasonable amount | 09:15 |
| Eagle | ActionParsnip: Ya I just need to access the net on it... | 09:15 |
| Lint01 | Eagle, you need some strapped-to-unusability system for it | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagle: puppy will do fine, or you can install XPUD, it boots faster than anything | 09:16 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle if featherlinux was still around, I think that might have helped you | 09:16 |
| Eagle | hidnshadows: featherlinux?????? | 09:16 |
| Lint01 | ActionParsnip, isn't puppy 2.4 kernel and no i18n? | 09:16 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle you're looking for an extremely lightweight OS, capable of a browser like FF, right? | 09:17 |
| tdn | I have 4 GB RAM in my T61p laptop, but 'free' is only showing 3 GB (http://paste.adora.dk/P1897.txt). I have checked memtest86 says I have 4 GB. How do I make more RAM available for my system? | 09:17 |
| Lint01 | tdn, pae or 64 bit | 09:17 |
| `violetstreak | how does one remove a (non-empty) directory from terminal. rmdir doesn't work | 09:17 |
| Eagle | hidnshadows: ya | 09:17 |
| greppy | `violetstreak: rm -rf | 09:17 |
| `violetstreak | thanks greppy | 09:18 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle like a rescue OS, or just something like for a netbook? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Lint01: not sure, all I know is it's 2.6.31.14 kernel on the CD | 09:18 |
| suman | how do iopen certain programs through terminal | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | greppy: why use force? | 09:18 |
| Lint01 | ActionParsnip, oh must be DSL then | 09:18 |
| sanjeev__ | hi | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | suman: type its name and hit enter | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tdn: even with exactly 4 gb of ram - theres hardware limitions on how much is actually available to the ssytem | 09:18 |
| tdn | Lint01, I should be able to have more thatn 3 GB total RAM with 32 bit. I know I cannot have a single process have more, however, the total available RAM for the system should not be 3 GB... | 09:19 |
| tdn | Dr_Willis, yeah, I know. But a whole gig? | 09:19 |
| hidnshadows | eagle or perhaps you might look up "easypeasy" | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: install the pae kernel and you can access up to 64Gb in 32bit | 09:19 |
| Eagle | hidnshadows: Just so you know, I Have linux Mint Installed on it and It works very well. Should I just stay with It???? | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | tdn: try the 64bit system. or the pae kernel and see | 09:19 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, with pae several things do not work. Drivers, etc. | 09:19 |
| sanjeev__ | frnds do u know the physical location of a in process installation of software center | 09:19 |
| greppy | ActionParsnip: habit. | 09:19 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle if it's fulfilling your needs, without problem, then keep it, | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | greppy: its a rEALLY bad habit | 09:20 |
| `violetstreak | and one more thing - can you remove multiple files/directories within the same directory in one go? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: hmm, then you may need 64bit vitamins then | 09:20 |
| Lint01 | pae kernels usually labelled pae or bigmem | 09:20 |
| XiaolinDraconis | free the fish! | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ive rarely heard of the PAE kernel having issues.. exccept with older hardware | 09:20 |
| Lint01 | ActionParsnip, 64-bit drivers are none to find | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | `violetstreak: you can use globbing. e.g. rm -r ~/Downloads/m* to delete all folders in ~/Downloads which start with m | 09:21 |
| Eagle | 09:21 | |
| Eagle | hidnshadows: Ok then what web Browser is best for it Firefox or Opera???? | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Lint01: depends on the hardware | 09:21 |
| oCean | tdn: please don't post same question in multiple channels.. | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: use what you like. | 09:21 |
| `violetstreak | thanks ActionParsnip - but to remove a select few from terminal...? | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagle: on low end system I'd usee arora or Midori | 09:22 |
| suman | how do i open certain application through terminal | 09:22 |
| `violetstreak | which are named differently | 09:22 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle whichever you think is best, but if oyu're strapped for resources try Epiphany | 09:22 |
| tdn | ActionParsnip, I have problems finding drivers for 64 bit also. I am aware that I might not be able to have full 4 GB RAM, however, I should be able to have more thatn 3023 MB. This limit does not make sense. | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | suman: I told you, type its name. You can use TAB to autocomplete | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | `violetstreak: rm foo bar bubba/stuff/ and so on.. I think | 09:22 |
| suman | thank u action | 09:22 |
| `violetstreak | ill give that a try thanks ;) | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: then you know your range of options, make your call | 09:22 |
| greppy | tdn: it's based on addressable space for 32bit systems. | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | tdn: drivers for what exactly? ive rarely found anything missing for 64bit these days | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: Brother drivers | 09:23 |
| tdn | Dr_Willis, HP. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: Canon drivers, both are 32bit only | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: HPLIP works in both 64bit and 32bit | 09:23 |
| tdn | Dr_Willis, also, my bank does not work with 64 bit Java. | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: it's also part of a standard Ubuntu install | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Brother printer i got had 64bit.. and well canon.. lets say im never buying a canon again.. :) | 09:23 |
| suman | can i install compiz on my netbook edition of ubuntu | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | or Kodak, never buy kodak | 09:24 |
| Lint01 | links2 is nice but support no javascript | 09:24 |
| Eagle | Dr_Willis: hidnshadows: Is Opera not Lighter on resources than Firefox????? | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: hmm.. My canon printer does work on my 64bit system last i tried it.. | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagle: i'd say so, firefox eats ram like mad | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | but the thing is so $$ ink wise.. i dont use it. | 09:24 |
| Lint01 | suman, it depends | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: last I saw they only made 32bit... | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i wonder how a ppd file can be 64 or 32bit.... | 09:24 |
| suman | depend on wat ?kindly elaborate | 09:24 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle I'm not sure, test out Epiphany first, then seamonkey, then if those don't do it for oyu firefox, you just need to try them all | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tdn: use 32bit browser using ia32-libs ;) | 09:25 |
| Lint01 | suman, on your video hardware, obviously | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | could be the offical canon drivers are 32bit only.. but the cups/openprinting.org drivers are both.. | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: hmm, interesting thought | 09:25 |
| suman | i have sony vaio VPCW125ag | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: yeah I think thats where I was going with the Canon stuff | 09:25 |
| suman | do i need a graphics card...when ever i try to insatll it says mutter is enabled | 09:26 |
| Eagle | ActionParsnip: Dr_Willis: hidnshadows: THANKS for the help ;-) | 09:26 |

| Eagle | hidnshadows: Much Appreciated! :-) | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | AbhiJit: add the relevant line to /etc/apt/sources.list and you can install using software centre | 09:31 |

| AbhiJit | ActionParsnip, hey i am talking about downloading latest non ose version of virtual box? | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | has lots of options.. pick the ne for your OS/version/#bits | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | AbhiJit: scoll down past the links,you can see text to add to sources.list | 09:32 |
| AbhiJit | ActionParsnip, okay | 09:32 |
| AbhiJit | Dr_Willis, ok | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | AbhiJit: ok but the OSE doesn't have USB functionality.... | 09:32 |
| * Dr_Willis dosent see whats confuseing about the download site. | 09:33 | |
| * Vain3 wishes to tell Dr_Willis he spelled 'confusing' wrong. | 09:33 | |
| AbhiJit | Dr_Willis, they ddnt mentioned anywhere which is ose and which is non ose version | 09:33 |
| hidnshadows | ActionParsnip, what do you mean USB functionality? ability to boot from USB? or ability to use USB devices? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: its pretty well laid out, impressive :) | 09:33 |
| christhecoolboy | there is one thing that I want on iphone that isnt there, :( | 09:33 |
| eleve | ActionParsnip, no, i mean capture videos from video streams like webcams, or even files | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Vain3: i wish to tell you that 'i dont care' :) | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: access usb devices | 09:33 |
| Freppa | fsck will only result in "fsck from linux-tools-ng" do i need to install any package first? | 09:33 |

| oCean | AbhiJit: did you install the vbox-4 version? | 09:35 |
| AbhiJit | oCean, yeah now downloading it. | 09:35 |
| hidnshadows | ActionParsnip, weird, it always works for me, does whoever perhaps need to add a device slot under settings? | 09:36 |
| oCean | AbhiJit: you can add a repository also | 09:36 |
| oCean | AbhiJit: once you've installed that, you have to install an extension pack for usb to work | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | AbhiJit: if you use the sources.list method you will automatically get updates when the vbox team update the server, using the deb you will not get this | 09:36 |
| AbhiJit | oCean, yah will do that later. thanks for pointing out! | 09:36 |
| AbhiJit | ActionParsnip, ok | 09:36 |

| christhecoolboy | someone told me to submit it.. | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | so you did not bother searching first. | 09:40 |
| christhecoolboy | its my first bug | 09:40 |
| christhecoolboy | nobody told me to search | 09:40 |
| christhecoolboy | but on it, I put a bugfix | 09:40 |
| nibbler_ | christhecoolboy, dont worry, if its a dupe it will be found out ;-) | 09:40 |

| christhecoolboy | ActionParsnip, sound is important, people might go back to windows or mac if sound doesnt work | 09:48 |
| christhecoolboy | would you use a PC with no sound? | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | christhecoolboy: yes.. yes i do... | 09:48 |

| bigbrovar_ | DJones: Dr_Willis: oCean: Thanks guys got it working now. I guess I was doing it wrong before | 09:51 |
| christhecoolboy | hidnshadows, no, thats why we fix the problems | 09:51 |
| oCean | bigbrovar_: happy surfin' :) | 09:52 |
| christhecoolboy | so the general public dont have to | 09:52 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle It should just be that you plug the computer into the UPS, there shouldn't really be any configuration | 09:52 |
| Jordan_U | akagi82: The Ubuntu installer may have incorrectly installed grub to the USB drive instead of the netbook's internal drive. | 09:52 |
| small | does ubuntu 10.10 have the dosemu bug | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | akagi82: then boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2 | 09:52 |
| Eagle | hidnshadows: oh ok Thanks...... | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | small: what dosemu bug? check teh bug reports perhaps? | 09:53 |
| akagi82 | i dont have livecd - netbook | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: there should be, you need to set thresholds and timeouts etc | 09:53 |
| akagi82 | how do i check if it's done that jordan? | 09:53 |
| small | the dosemu wouldn't run in 10.04 | 09:53 |
| hidnshadows | Eagle actionparsnip Forgot about that, I was thinking pure software interaction, which unless it's a new fancy-schmancy one there aren't any. | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | akagi82: Try booting from the USB you installed with. If grub was installed there than rather than booting the Ubuntu installer it will boot your installed system (from the internal drive). | 09:54 |
| nVee | hey guys, I changed my network address in server 10.10 to static, it now works when I ping the machine from a different machine, but when I ping the hostname, it fails, and it returns the old IP | 09:55 |
| Eagle | 09:55 | |
| Eagle | hidnshadows: its an old UPS??? | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: you'll need to at least tell the device what OS it is attached to, so it can issue the right shutdown command | 09:55 |
| nVee | I'll assume there is something else I ahve to change | 09:55 |
| akagi82 | i tried that and just got the standard usb install options | 09:55 |
| joko | Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and I have trouble with the mouse. I'm using Gnome, but I've also tried OpenBox. After opening some applications (e.g. Skype, terminal) I can't use the mouse click; I can move the mouse though. Any ideas what could be the problem? | 09:56 |
| nVee | i edited etc/network/interfaces | 09:56 |
| hidnshadows | eagle actionparsnip When I think of UPS, I think of a big backup battery, that gives you just enough time to save any important stuff, then shut down properly, lasting for less than 5 minutes. Is this wrong? | 09:56 |
| ozfalcon | If I compile a program on one computer (With all dev files) can I copy the compiled app and "Install" it on another pc (Same OS)??? | 09:56 |
| nVee | I only added ip, subnet mask and gateway, is there something else I need to change as well? | 09:57 |
| ozfalcon | If I compile a program on one computer (With all dev files) can I copy the compiled app and "Install" it on another pc (Same OS)??? | 09:57 |
| akagi82 | This is what I actually had to do to get it to install: http://technomess.blogspot.com/2010/11/ubuntu-1010-and-lenovo-ideapad-s10-3.html | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | hidnshadows: in essence yes, but good UPS systems will save enough juice for the system to be automatically shutdown by the device so the power doesn't just die and may corrupt data | 09:57 |
| star3am | hey guys, i am havingtrouble connecting to openvpn, where do I get the ca.crt from ? | 09:57 |

| ozfalcon | ActionParsnip, Good. I'm compiling k3b 2.02. and want to make an easy install on a second machine (With k3b 2.00 from backports already installed). | 09:59 |
| ozfalcon | ActionParsnip, checkinstall will make a .deb file? | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ozfalcon: if memory serves, yes | 10:00 |
| ozfalcon | Ubuntu lack of backports is frustrating. | 10:01 |
| Tm_T | ozfalcon: there's ppa builds of k3b somewhere most likely | 10:01 |

| beginer | oh sorry i was thinking something akagi82 | 10:12 |
| beginer | ryanf_109, its python!! | 10:13 |
| akagi82 | no prob | 10:13 |
| sugoruyo | beginer: that's the correct answer for all programming questions! | 10:14 |
| ryanf_109 | beginer, I know a bit of C++ is this useless? | 10:14 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: seriously, the answer depends on what you want to build | 10:14 |
| ryanf_109 | I don't know I just want to program! | 10:14 |
| beginer | yaya | 10:14 |
| beginer | oooh | 10:14 |
| beginer | sugoruyo, you're correct | 10:14 |

| borwar | How can I check if the php5-cli package is installed? | 10:15 |

| ryanf_109 | once I am good at python, how easy is it to move on to Gnome apps? Will I need other software, or is it easy enough to code with your text editor?? | 10:16 |
| bela_ | Hello! | 10:16 |
| Ububegin | beginer: it has become a read-only file system.. | 10:16 |
| sugoruyo | python is relatively easy to learn, VERY powerful (in terms of range of things you can with it), built-in to any modern UNIX/Linux system (including OS X) | 10:16 |
| beginer | aaah | 10:16 |
| shcherbak | borwar: apt-get install php-cli5 | 10:16 |
| greppy | borwar: dpkg -l php5-cli | 10:16 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: GNOME apps are written mostly in GTK | 10:16 |

| akagi82 | i need a term command to help me check if grub is installed on my system, anyone? | 10:17 |

| ozfalcon | dpkg -l |grep php | 10:17 |
| Ububegin | beginer: data, i mean | 10:17 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: buttons*, python has PyGTK and other stuff that allow you to connect the two | 10:17 |
| ryanf_109 | cool. I read in my linux mag about Glade Interface Designer will this be of any use? | 10:17 |
| beginer | Ububegin, yes bro!! | 10:17 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: so learn some python, and then learn some GTK, as for Glade, yeah I think it works with python | 10:18 |
| tsimpson | ryanf_109: Glade is used to design the look of your application, you can do it in code, but glade is easier for more complex UIs | 10:18 |

| beginer | then first copy it and then fdisk Ububegin | 10:18 |
| ozfalcon | checkinstall is doing something................... | 10:18 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: of course, python is just a suggestion, you can always choose something else | 10:18 |
| ozfalcon | ls | 10:19 |
| ryanf_109 | well it can't hurt to learn it. What is the difference between it and say C++? | 10:19 |
| tsimpson | ryanf_109: python is an interpreted language, C++ is a compiled language | 10:19 |
| Ububegin | ryanf_109: C++ is painful, not for beginners.. | 10:19 |
| tsimpson | ryanf_109: the python interpreter reads the python code, then runs it, C++ is compiled directly to machine readable code | 10:20 |
| tsimpson | Ububegin: in _your_ opinion ;) | 10:20 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: that's a tricky one, they're both object oriented, you don't compile python to binary, it's dynamically typed (meaning a variable can change type in execution) | 10:20 |
| borwar | shcherbak: will that mess up what I've already installed? | 10:20 |
| borwar | or will it gracefully install along with what I already got? | 10:20 |
| ryanf_109 | ok. Does this mean if I have a python-written program I can see the code? | 10:20 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: i'd say python is more forgiving to those with a less technical background (for example if you're not good with pointers) | 10:20 |
| tsimpson | ryanf_109: as you don't compile python, you *must* have the code to run a python program | 10:21 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: sort of, python compiles to bytecode for optimization, but if you have a python program in .py files yes, those are the code itself | 10:21 |
| sugoruyo | tsimpson: can't you run pre-compiled bytecode without the code itself? | 10:21 |
| ryanf_109 | ok guys. | 10:21 |
| jjk1989 | Hello, is it possible when I log into Ubuntu on startup that I can also be logged in to windows?, Like I can be on both at one time and do some windows stuff in one window and ubuntu stoff in the other? | 10:21 |
| sugoruyo | tsimpson: never tried it, just wondering | 10:22 |
| slie | So python has and interpreter just like java.... and compiles to byte code? | 10:22 |
| tsimpson | sugoruyo: python attempts to update the .pyc from the .py, it'll probably explode without the .py somewhere | 10:22 |
| hidnshadows | jjk1989, Look up VBox, it's a virtualization machine | 10:22 |
| bela_ | jjk1989: you need to use an emulator for your windows. | 10:22 |
| raxelo | hi all, i am using ubuntu 10.04, where can i find wmi-client package ? | 10:22 |
| ryanf_109 | sugoruyo, does this mean that you have the option to kind of compile it, but not so the code is completely unreadable? | 10:22 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: Python is basically a scripting language, as far as I know there's no *sure-fire* way to make it *completely* unreadable AND have it run just as well/fast | 10:23 |
| Sweet-P | Can anyone recommend an efficient socks5 proxy server? | 10:23 |
| sugoruyo | slie: python is interpreted yes, and compiled to bytecode just-in-time | 10:23 |
| slie | For some reasion i thought you could compile and turn your python into an exicutible? | 10:24 |
| ryanf_109 | sugoruyo, I suppose that means it's ideal if it's open source anyway? | 10:24 |
| sugoruyo | slie: if the bytecode file (.pyc i think) is older than the .py file it recompiles | 10:24 |
| coz_ | out of curiosity...has anyone tried lightspark? open source flash replacement | 10:24 |
| tsimpson | sugoruyo: apparently you can remove the .py (if you have the .pyc) and it should (theoretically) work, but it's not recommended by anyone | 10:24 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: well I'll put it this way: if you're doing open source coding, it saves you compiling binaries AND you don't care who sees your code | 10:24 |
| slie | Nice so real time (sort of) to the pyc file | 10:24 |
| sugoruyo | tsimpson: oh i see | 10:25 |
| earwigs | ryanf_109: "Lean Python the Hard Way" is a great free ebook if you're looking at getting stuck into python | 10:25 |
| ryanf_109 | earwigs, definitely hope to get stuck in. | 10:25 |

| earwigs | ryanf_109: #python is a good room for all things pythono | 10:26 |
| earwigs | python too* | 10:26 |
| ryanf_109 | ok I'll head there. I think all my questions have been answered but I'll see if anyone else is chatting! | 10:26 |
| slie | I will get stuck in it until i can program in "Machine Code" sophmore computer science major :) | 10:26 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: python is very popular in open source, see the ubuntu installer, the original implementation of bittorrent and lots of other stuff you use daily | 10:26 |
| sugoruyo | and probably don't even know (or care) are in python | 10:27 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | after the latest update both my work pc and test server show a file not found error and a grub rescue line. how can I fix this? | 10:27 |
| sugoruyo | slie: you mean not even assembly? machine code as in hex codes? or even binary sequences? man you really hardcore... | 10:28 |
| slie | My wonder and hesitant to learning python, was the fact that if i wanted to write a program for others to use was the fact that i distribute it as a .py file... WFT then they can read my code? does this matter really? | 10:28 |
| akagi82 | when i update grub using update-grub ... i get you must run this as root. what does this mean exactly? | 10:28 |
| sugoruyo | slie: I've never distributed software to anyone (except handing in project to my proffessors) so I couldn't tell you... | 10:29 |
| sugoruyo | akagi82: put sudo in front of the command | 10:29 |
| ryanf_109 | akagi82 use sudo | 10:29 |
| sugoruyo | akagi82: then type your password when asked | 10:29 |
| akagi82 | ahh thanks | 10:29 |
| slie | Ha ha yeah ill probably stop at assembly i was just kidding wien i was talking about streight Binary. But when i was very young my mom handed me sheets telling me i could write a game with them. "They were only ones and zeros" haha | 10:29 |

| sugoruyo | akagi82: and be careful when doing stuff as root (always what they do *before* you run them) cause you can easily nuke a system that way | 10:30 |
| willi88 | hej | 10:30 |
| slie | sugoruyo: Well that is good to know! I really don't know what the setting will be like when I am able to write what ever i want. | 10:30 |
| sugoruyo | slie: your mom codes binary? | 10:30 |
| ryanf_109 | akagi82, once I've installed I usually set a password for root by command "pswd root" and then use "su root" to use root. | 10:30 |
| zxd | how do I upgrade from lucid to maverick | 10:31 |
| akagi82 | cool cheers | 10:31 |
| Revo | I have a system with 2x NICs, how do I choose which one is "default" for outgoing internet traffic? | 10:31 |
| slie | No but when i was in the 5th grade she wanted me to, she konw a bunch about computers but i think she only learnd something like .NET "don't hate me im not like that" | 10:31 |
| sugoruyo | slie: if you do python code for a living at some point I'm guessing it'll be either for the web or internal stuff in some company (most companies sell .net, java or c++ software) | 10:31 |
| iceroot | Revo: with the command "route" | 10:31 |
| Kingsy | is there a reason when browsing a windows network on my ubuntu installation it is seriously slow? I mean about 15-20 seconds to open a folder | 10:31 |
| Kingsy | it all works its just REALLY slow | 10:31 |
| ryanf_109 | akagi82, just be aware that unless you really have to I usually don't do anything with root since it has permissions to do a lot more and can really mess up things. | 10:31 |
| Kingsy | anyone had that before? | 10:31 |
| `violetstreak | sounds like deadmau5 used ubuntu sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVGEumVLBuo&ob=av2el | 10:32 |
| Revo | thanks iceroot will look into it | 10:32 |
| `violetstreak | Bad Selection | 10:32 |
| sugoruyo | ryanf_109: that sort of defeats the purpose of using sudo rather than root... plus it opens you up for some security issues | 10:32 |
| stradade | ciao | 10:32 |
| ryanf_109 | sugoruyo, lol ok this is when my bad practice starts to show. | 10:32 |
| slie | sugoruyo: Yeah i'm only learning python in hopes it will take me to the next step. I want to do some android and linux Kernal programing in the future i am so trying to find a way! | 10:32 |

| endscore | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades | 10:34 |
| sugoruyo | python is more high level than you want for kernel and not really supported on android (you don't need the whole java library for android though, it has its own so don't bother learning a lot of java, just coding practices, language features and then move to android) | 10:34 |
| slie | earwigs: You konw i actually understud that and that is where my passions to learn the linux kernal comes from :) | 10:34 |

| sugoruyo | slie: yeah, there's so much out there it's hard to know where to begin | 10:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: clamav, avg has a linux version also. and i think 2 other av makers now have linux ports of their tools. | 10:37 |
| sugoruyo | slie: if you're CS major though you really should know *at least* basic C | 10:37 |
| akagi82 | there's no grub | 10:38 |
| sugoruyo | slie: it helps you understand operating systems | 10:38 |
| sugoruyo | akagi82: ubuntu has no trial | 10:38 |
| sugoruyo | akagi82: correction: linux has no trials... you probably mean live | 10:38 |
| Eagle | Dr_Willis: So which is the best? And what do you recomend? | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | 'Test drive' the OS with out installing... | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: try them all. | 10:38 |
| sugoruyo | akagi82: how did you install? | 10:38 |
| akagi82 | yeah the usb one | 10:38 |
| slie | sugoruyo: So I have a plan, im trying to writ a Standard Dievation program that will use the Google Charts API to graph the data. Just to get experience. | 10:38 |
| akagi82 | through the live | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: and on a windows box. DISABLE the auto-run stuff. | 10:39 |

| akagi82 | and installed with the dual boot option: win and ubuntu | 10:39 |

| slie | sugoruyo: What dialect should i learn for C? | 10:40 |
| sugoruyo | akagi82: so you booted the live usb, you did the install and then there's no grub? | 10:40 |

| shingie | apt-get install Clamav | 10:41 |
| sugoruyo | slie: C is a language, anything that you use to really make things work is probably a library, learn the language (the latest version of the standard) and choose what libraries you spend your time on depending on what you want to do with the language... | 10:41 |
| stradade | hi | 10:41 |

| slie | sugoruyo: I have been researching C for as long as ive kown about it envious of the knowledge but when i tried to start they were talking about the ISO Standard and The ANSI standard, so i'm looking at Wiki and you said stable that means i should learn C99? | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: most all AV software has 'virus definition' updates.. yes... | 10:44 |
| shingie | yeah every Antivirus needs an Update so u got to research on how to keep it updated | 10:44 |

| sugoruyo | kuttans: logic is something you learn as well, the books can't put it into your head for you but they can provide good examples and good explanations of concepts, K&R is a good example of a book that will teach you good C, but you must be ready to learn good C - which usually means you already have a good grasp on the concept of programming, you're not starting programming with C and K&R unless you have a CS b/g | 10:51 |

| shcherbak | dgx: sudo netstat -tulp | 10:53 |
| DeadPanda | slie, yep; it explains all the concepts of the C language quite concisely; if you need to learn to _program_ though, not just the C language, there's plenty of online tutorials with challenges etc. | 10:53 |
| kuttans | yeah i agree with you sugoruyo. but choosing a loop structure based on performance and situation is the last thing a book can teach. it can tell you what are the characteristic but selection is on your hand and reasoning is also with you only | 10:53 |

| sugoruyo | Dr_Willis is right, python is a language that will return your investment in time and effort tenfold, it's just not a language to do kernel stuff in | 10:56 |
| kuttans | sugoruyo:yeah sure, but what happens is the that the fresher will never come to know about the performance issue until unless he start a trial and error way of learning | 10:56 |
| sugoruyo | slie: you should not drop python however, just focus more on C, python will help you where a C program would be cumbersome to write and debug for a relatively simple task that C has no native support for | 10:57 |

| slie | sugoruyo: So you think i'm doing good learning more then one language at once? "given i know the basics of a program and programming" | 10:58 |
| sugoruyo | earwigs: well you don't want to write a log parser in C unless you have to... Python or Perl would be sufficiently fast while offering feature-sets better suited to such a task | 10:58 |
| kuttans | sugoruyo: most of the books i encountered start with the hello world program and how to start and run, with that only i came to a conclusion that without dirtying your hand you can never know whats in the garden | 10:58 |
| kuttans | yeah dgx | 10:59 |
| sugoruyo | slie: the more you learn, the better... you will have an understanding of diverse approaches which broadens your critical thinking ability | 10:59 |

| Eagle | ActionParsnip: I have a package called "Nvidia-current_260.19.06-oubuntu1_amd64.deb" is this my graphic drivers ppackage ?????? | 11:08 |
| kuttans | i have a samsung corby mobile. Kubuntu identify it as a imaging device always and sometime shows it as modem too. The problem the modem deduction is not stable all the time, sometimes it do and sometimes not. Im using this mobile as a modem which is having a 3g connection.Kppp is also not useful as it says can not open modem, where as the modem is loaded in /dev/ttyACM0 and 1 as well. wvdialconf is returning errorso how to go about from here to make it | 11:08 |
| kuttans | more stable and use it without intermittancy | 11:08 |
| mrcan | how can i make my normal user to root user. i dont mean sudo su. i want close all asking passwords and i want access all folders without password | 11:08 |
| Snakkah | Is there a way to change the login music in Ubuntu 10.10? | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagle: yes, thats the latest nvidia driver | 11:08 |
| kuttans | mrcan: login as a root | 11:08 |
| Eagle | ActionParsnip: OK thanks | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Snakkah: if you open sound properties you can change the sound theme | 11:08 |
| kuttans | mrcan: enable root user first but its not recommended | 11:08 |
| sugoruyo | mrcan: sudo passwd root, then give it a password for root and then you can login as root | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | definatly not reccommended. | 11:08 |
| sugoruyo | mrcan: not a very good idea though | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: run: sudo -i | 11:08 |
| slie | shcherbak:Okay, i think i have fell into the same trap with the forums and the search queries | 11:08 |
| === rat is now known as Guest59235 | ||
| Dr_Willis | mrcan: sudo -i in a terminal.. do your work you need as root.. close terminal. | 11:09 |
| Randomerest | ActionParsnip: I am positive, running just pop/smtp over ssh and they get connection refused, just to test i try telneting to myself and get it also :S | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: why do you need access so much outside of $HOME, it's very rare toneed such access | 11:09 |
| kuttans | i connected my mobile and its showing in ttyACM0 and ttyACM1 but when i send modem queries via wvconf its saying failed why? | 11:09 |
| mrcan | kuttans: i want join with my normal user with all access | 11:09 |
| Snakkah | Yeah ActionParsnip, but the only option that gives is "Ubuntu" and "No sounds" for the sound theme. | 11:09 |
| shcherbak | slie: Do you program at all? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Snakkah: there are sound themes in the repos as far as I am aware | 11:10 |
| Snakkah | What I'm wanting to do is change the login music (that African sounding theme) to something different. | 11:10 |
| kuttans | make it as a sudoer then, its safe to ask password, atleast you can avoid damages | 11:10 |
| mrcan | kuttans: i know its rare but i want it | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Snakkah: I guess if you find the file you can just replace it | 11:10 |
| sugoruyo | g[r]eek: try running dmesg | tail when that happens | 11:10 |
| sugoruyo | maybe the recent kernel messages can tell you why it unmounts | 11:10 |
| vs-hs | ! | 11:10 |
| Snakkah | ActionParsnip, that's what I'm thinking too. I was hoping someone here could direct me to where it is lol. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: you can run: gksudo nautilus do what you need, then close the file browser | 11:10 |
| slie | sugoruyo: After a wile have a great idea i want to do, but I know it will require a databate i think two, one where the usre can create and add too and the other the admin can add too or the usr can add too would you suggest anyting? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Snakkah: sudo find / -iname "*.ogg" maybe | 11:11 |
| kuttans | there is a file in etc, i forget the name, i thing it deals with auth, there you can comment the required attribute then it wont ask | 11:11 |
| mrcan | actionparsnip: i know that but its with root's settings i want do it with my normal user's settings | 11:11 |
| kuttans | i have to google to find out the exact name | 11:11 |
| slie | shcherbak: I would love something to program why? I would learn through Binary if you gave me the direction.... | 11:11 |
| sugoruyo | slie: you'll also need to learn SQL, and find a RDBMS to suit your needs... | 11:11 |
| slie | shcherbak: sorry i though you asked if i wanted to. yes i know a lot about JAVA and am finding Python is similar | 11:12 |
| kuttans | anyone know how to add a device data in usb_modeswitch? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: not sure dude, considering the very small amount of times you will use it I wouldnt waste much effort on it | 11:13 |
| slie | sugoruyo: what languages do you think i should learn with those? and how do you think i should get a kickstart i think that is all i need is a jumb so i can kinda get a feel to understand | 11:13 |
| shcherbak | slie: if you start from java or c or c#, you will stack on libraries and routines. First get to bash, awk and sed, powerfull, and let you put your ideas into action. Then mysql/php and etc... | 11:14 |
| mrcan | %users ALL=NOPASSWD: / is that makes with all access? | 11:14 |
| mrcan | in sudoers file | 11:14 |
| sugoruyo | mrcan: i think you need to put (ALL) where you have / | 11:14 |
| sugoruyo | not sure though | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !sudoers | mrcan | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !sudo | 11:15 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !visudo | mrcan | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: using that will just mean the commands wont ask for password and will cripple system security | 11:15 |
| mrcan | ActionParsnip: i dont care system security i need it for my works | 11:16 |
| mrcan | ActionParsnip: password makes me slow | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: be careful how you mess with that file, if you screw it up you will need to root recovery mode and undo your mess, basically its not worth it | 11:16 |
| shcherbak | mrcan: What work you do in root or /var or /etc ??? | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | when in doubt. back it up.... | 11:17 |
| slie | shcherbak: So your saying learn the sorta Glue "fundementals" such as BASH before i learn something greater goods. | 11:17 |
| sugoruyo | slie: it depends on what you want to program, if you want to do algorithms try them in C and python, if you want web stuff try PHP and MySQL, actually learn SQL anyway and C as well, try not to focus on the libraries that come along with these langs. rather get the concepts and logic behind them and get onto a new one, eventually you'll understand enough and a few of them will "click" with you | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: yeah but anyone who has any sort of access even malicious javascript and flash anims will be able to do what they like, when they like | 11:17 |
| mafikes | hi | 11:17 |
| mafikes | :D | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: so an attacker can easily read your email and copy your firefox passwords to access your stored passwords | 11:18 |
| sugoruyo | mrcan: ActionParsnip is right it's basically godmode for every user | 11:18 |
| sugoruyo | mrcan: especially if you have SSH your system is basically toast if you do that... | 11:18 |
| mrcan | ActionParsnip: i understand your meaning but its not important for me, really! im not classic user dont worry about that | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: and copy yur email store if you have one and use your account | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: no, you clearly have no idea about what you are doing. Enjoy | 11:18 |

| slie | sugoruyo: Ahh, you deffinatly think the way i think and i like it. I'm not so much worried about a complete program right now. I am more conserned about being able to something and understand if i wanted to all the way down to the machine. | 11:19 |
| * Dr_Willis hands mrcan a hammer to just bash his system to pieces with. | 11:20 | |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: when you identity is stolen and your bank account suddenly empties, give me a knock ok | 11:20 |
| shcherbak | mrcan: write script to "shorten your password" at login to "1" and put back on logout. You shall not get advice here how to cripple your system. | 11:20 |
| slie | sugoruyo: I know how i can SQL but is there a way you can suggest to learn it. that is my only problem with SQL and XML is what do i apply it too? | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | You can set root to not even need a password to login :) | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | some people would rather a bit of convenience and rip their entire security from their system | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: do you have a password on your email? | 11:21 |
| Eagle | ActionParsnip: clamav, How do you use, or start up the program, or what do i type in???? | 11:21 |
| shcherbak | ActionParsnip: you could ask only for email.. | 11:21 |
| mrcan | ActionParsnip: no :) | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: wow, youo really are a lost soul | 11:22 |
| sugoruyo | slie: SQL can be applied to just about anything with structured data, so can XML, as for learning SQL, it's easy to learn but not to use properly, don't worry about the language with SQL, instead learn the whole RDBMS concept, how to properly organize data, normalize your databases, there's a lot of theory in there | 11:22 |
| mrcan | ActionParsnip: you can say it over pm | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Eagle: use clamscan, or one of the front ends to clamav thats in the repos | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mrcan: i dunno what to say, i'm completely overwhelmed | 11:23 |

| sugoruyo | mrcan: having been rooted I *STRONGLY* advise against mucking about with root privileges, sudoers, and security in general without knowing *EXACTLY* what it is you're doing... you can both mess everything up and open up the system to an insane amount of threats (most of which will hit you like an anvil over the head) | 11:25 |

| Dr_Willis | GhostWolf: should be at the initial grub menu screens, or boot the cd and select it from there | 11:53 |
| GhostWolf | ok i don't see it on either Dr_Willis, when i boot to the cd it gives option to test or install first and in grub i don't see that as well if thats the menu where you can go into safe mode | 11:54 |

| g[r]eek | ne2k, yes, the original | 12:09 |
| g[r]eek | sugoruyo, could you please teach me how to do that. I can paste the output here | 12:09 |
| ne2k | g[r]eek: then it is unlikely to be a power problem. it could still be a faulty usb socket or cable. can you try a different socket? | 12:09 |
| g[r]eek | on a pastebin | 12:09 |
| ne2k | g[r]eek: just type "dmesg" at the command line. the last few lines should have something abotu USB disconnect | 12:10 |
| g[r]eek | ne2k, do you mean try a different USB port on my laptop? | 12:10 |
| dr0id | ok, just want to tell something | 12:10 |
| slie | Does any on want to challange me with programming? | 12:10 |
| ne2k | g[r]eek: yes, a different USB port. | 12:10 |
| dr0id | I was facing an issue for a long time | 12:10 |
| jrib | !ot | slie | 12:10 |
| ubottu | slie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 12:10 |
| g[r]eek | ne2k, ok I will try it and let you know if the problem recurs | 12:10 |
| dr0id | when I delete a file using the del key in keyboard, it used to take a lot of time to delete | 12:10 |
| ne2k | slie: yes, write a memoized factorial function in perl in two minutes. | 12:10 |
| dr0id | today, I disabled some firefox plugins, and now that issue no more persists, GOOD LUCK :D | 12:11 |
| jrib | dr0id: that just moves it to trash so it should be instant... | 12:11 |
| dr0id | I know | 12:11 |
| sugoruyo | g[r]eek: like i said earlier, dmesg | tail | 12:11 |
| Zeu5 | hi gobbe , are you there? | 12:11 |
| dr0id | but I was facing this issue for a long time jrib | 12:11 |
| dr0id | on kde | 12:11 |
| sugoruyo | g[r]eek: do that as soon as you notice it | 12:11 |
| dr0id | I had asked for a solution here, but no one could help | 12:11 |
| dr0id | today I disabled firefox plugins and it's deleting quickly again | 12:11 |
| sugoruyo | also try #ubuntu-gr assuming you are greek | 12:12 |
| dr0id | am no greek, sorry | 12:12 |
| ne2k | sugoruyo: that's a stupid suggestion | 12:12 |
| g[r]eek | sugoruyo, ne2k: Ok I have just plugged it into a different USB port. If it works then I know it was the other USB port that was faulty. If it breaks again then I'll check dmesg as you suggest and let you guys know. Thanks in the mean time :) | 12:12 |
| sugoruyo | dr0id: i was talking to g[r]eek | 12:12 |
| dr0id | cool | 12:12 |
| Zeu5 | hi all, i had some issues with my external hdd. it cannot be mounted in ubuntu, so i was told to go back to windows and run CHKDSK. it stopped halfway. and now i cannot even eject it safely. i cannot even see my files inside the disk | 12:12 |
| ne2k | g[r]eek: cool beans | 12:12 |
| gz0 | Hi, Im trying to make a command global, when I put a symbolic link in /usr/bin, the command is global, but it looks for files in the /usr/bin directory instead of its native directory | 12:13 |
| g[r]eek | ne2k, "cool beans"? You must be south african1? | 12:13 |
| slie | my $factorial =1: | 12:13 |
| sugoruyo | ne2k: why is it stupid, maybe something crashes/hangs and there's something in the kernel messages to help debug it | 12:13 |
| Zeu5 | please advise. there are important files inside my hdd | 12:13 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: firstly, you don't mound a disk, you mount a partition. what is the type of the partition? | 12:13 |

| Zeu5 | ne2k, my external hdd is using nTFS | 12:13 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: it does sound a little bit like it's buggered | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | gz0: make a script in /usr/bin that cd's to the proper dir. then runs the command. | 12:14 |
| jrib | gz0: fix your application :) Or add its directory to your PATH. 2 questions: 1) what exactly do you mean by "global"? 2) What app is this? | 12:14 |

| gz0 | Dr_Willis: ahh I was using echo... | 12:16 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: you need to see if you can get it fixed in windows first | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | gz0: echo? err... time to read some bash tutorials... | 12:16 |

| c0nsense | hey! just for learn.. i wanna knwo how do for user www-data run Vbox commands? i'm trying do a virtualbox web manager. | 12:17 |
| sugoruyo | ne2k: oh ok, i was just suggesting a channel where assuming g[r]eek is actually greek, or is comfortable speaking greek we can use our native language | 12:17 |
| slie | ne2k:No I will end my questinos with that and come back when i actually need it. Thank you NE2K for showing me my self to leave!!1! | 12:18 |
| schnuffle | htorque: is xauth installed? I'm isung 10.10 and have the variable set | 12:18 |
| c0nsense | any ideas? | 12:18 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: if the drive is not being accessed, i.e. the light is not flickering and it is not making a chattering sound, then it should be fairly safe to just unplug it. you don't have any choice by the sounds of it | 12:18 |
| kalz | can someone tell me the best way to install the drivers for my Nvidia 9500gt in 10.10? | 12:18 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: I would do that, power the whole system off and on again, boot into safe mode in windows and try check disk again | 12:18 |
| Zeu5 | ne2k: i think i am going to unplug it and get a friend to recover the files | 12:19 |
| jongbergs | hi, i got my gnome login screen in 10.04 messed up. How do I restore it default? | 12:19 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: yes, try a known-good, clean copy of windows, that's a good ideas | 12:19 |
| jongbergs | !gmd | 12:19 |
| htorque | schnuffle: the variable is set, but it's no longer "~/.Xauthority" | 12:19 |
| Zeu5 | so i need to shutdown in rder to unplug it safely? | 12:19 |
| jongbergs | !gdm | 12:19 |
| schnuffle | c0nsense: you can setup sudo to give wwwrun the rights to run some commands under a different id | 12:19 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: well. like I said, if the disk isn't being accessed, it should do it any harm just to pull it out. but if you can make windows shut down, then it would definitely be safe | 12:19 |
| Petein | hi. any extensions for chrome/firefox for content-filtering? | 12:20 |
| ne2k | Zeu5: well, as safe as it can ever be. there is no guarantee your drive isn't already b0rked | 12:20 |
| Zeu5 | okie. ne2k | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Petein: firefox has bajizillions+ of extensions.. check the ff extension site | 12:20 |
| ne2k | Petein: search their respective extension repositories | 12:20 |
| c0nsense | schnuffle: how? | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Petein: it all depends on the details | 12:20 |
| christhecoolboy | I've got an idea for ubuntu | 12:21 |
| christhecoolboy | where would I say about it... | 12:21 |
| g[r]eek | sugoruyo, ne2k: I shall leave this channel for now as it is quite busy. If the error occurs I'll come back with the dmesg output. If you don't hear from me in the next couple of hours then the different USB port fixed the problem. Thanks and cheers. | 12:21 |

| ne2k | christhecoolboy: don't use carriage return as punctuation | 12:22 |

| AdvoWork | ne2k, nope, not networked | 12:23 |
| ne2k | AdvoWork: it's a local printer? on usb? | 12:24 |
| AdvoWork | ne2k, yeah its a usb printer, all was working fine so dont know whats happened | 12:24 |
| christhecoolboy | my idea was that we have a help thing for ubuntu and tech related things using this: http://www.osqa.net/ | 12:24 |
| ne2k | AdvoWork: that is weird. have you tried deleting the printer and re-adding? (lol, it sounds like Windows) | 12:25 |
| AdvoWork | ne2k, no, just because it was a pain getting it working in the first place lol | 12:25 |
| ne2k | christhecoolboy: ubuntu uses launchpad, which seems to do the trick | 12:26 |

| === publoc is now known as shcherbak | ||

| sangho | tobier, you don't find any solution to prevent that message? i think it's not normal | 12:40 |
| tobier | sangho: I've been seeing it on other distributions as well, I figure that it is normal | 12:41 |
| sangho | but why it's not appear in my ubuntu desktop? | 12:42 |
| tobier | have you check /var/log/messages? | 12:42 |
| tobier | I see it there many times | 12:42 |
| shcherbak | sangho: you could rearch that (like any) log entry if you think is abnormal. | 12:42 |
| sangho | yes i have checked | 12:42 |
| veovis_muaddib | I have a bunch of archives from a windows user, z01-z0* and a final .zip. I was told to concatenate them, but when I do that, I can only extract one out of three of the files in the archive. It's twice the size of each part, so I know it wasn't just one part working. | 12:42 |
| veovis_muaddib | *more than twice | 12:43 |

| sangho | tobier, my server's log is thoudsand of lines. is that reallynormal? | 12:43 |
| veovis_muaddib | jrib: Yeah, multifile support is "coming" but it expects them to be concatenated. (unzip says that while working in fact) | 12:44 |
| tobier | sangho: it depends on what all of those thousands of lines are saying :) | 12:44 |
| schnuffle | sangho: depends on your log level, services and a lot of ther things | 12:44 |
| sangho | so..how can i see detail log? | 12:44 |

| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 12:45 |
| jrib | veovis_muaddib: you read « man unzip »? First hit on a search for "split" gives a zip command to compbine multi-part archives | 12:45 |
| schnuffle | sangho: have a look in /var/log | 12:45 |
| tobier | sangho: I wouldn't worry about it, it's some form of kernel setting I believe for the loopback interface | 12:45 |

| kitcat | hey im back | 13:06 |
| ispirto | DeadPanda, i see, so forexample for frm file, it should be /xfe/x01 right? | 13:07 |

| knickname | Over at #windows they're discussing Linux - great! | 13:20 |
| derek1 | 10.04 and 10.10 made every video file i have useless | 13:20 |
| Pici | derek1: For older ATI cards you may need to use the open source driver, not fglrx. | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | derek1: how vague... | 13:20 |
| shcherbak | derek1: use latest mesa... | 13:21 |
| derek1 | i knew someone was going to say that, and i have tried and tried, with no progress | 13:21 |
| osmosis_paul | Dr_Willis, thank you so much | 13:21 |
| derek1 | nothing i have found so far led me to a solution | 13:21 |
| derek1 | i have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled | 13:21 |
| sangho | shcherbak, where is it ?? | 13:21 |
| shcherbak | derek1: ...and get driconf | 13:22 |
| derek1 | mesa? | 13:22 |
| ispirto | DeadPanda, it says "to match any single character (aka a wildcard) use | 13:22 |
| ispirto | # a '?'." | 13:22 |
| hrhrhr | good luck getting older cards to work in 10.10 | 13:22 |
| ispirto | should i use one ? for each wildcard? | 13:22 |
| DeadPanda | well, use one ? for each byte | 13:22 |
| ispirto | or ??? for \x01 forexample | 13:22 |
| hrhrhr | i tried both drivers the other day and was fed a lolburger | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | derek1: but you dident try changeing any actual settings? what was the actual video playback issue under 10.04+ ? | 13:22 |
| ispirto | one byte = \x01 ? | 13:23 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, no, use one ?, \x01 is a single character too, just encoded in hexadecimal | 13:23 |
| ispirto | oh ok | 13:23 |
| shcherbak | sangho: shut down "faulty" service, in your caes vsftpd | 13:23 |
| ispirto | so i'll use \xfe\x01??\x03\x00 | 13:23 |
| derek1 | i turned down my graphics, i went through all of the faq's and walkthroughs on the website and eventually decided to revert to 9.10 | 13:23 |
| sangho | you means.. change ftp daemon? | 13:23 |
| ogo0p | asdf | 13:23 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, yup | 13:24 |
| derek1 | only to find that my card is unsupported and i have no way to do anything that needs open gl | 13:24 |
| ispirto | ok it's working.. | 13:24 |
| ispirto | i hope i can save those files :/ | 13:24 |
| derek1 | all i want to do is open a upnp server, and nothing works at all | 13:24 |
| shcherbak | sangho: yes | 13:24 |
| sangho | shcherbak, okay. do you have any recommend? i don't know any except vsftpd :( | 13:25 |
| derek1 | why my video card effects anything that has to do with that is beyond me | 13:25 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, out of interest, what's the block size on the partition you're trying to recover from? (sudo dumpe2fs YOUR-DRIVE | grep 'Block size') | 13:25 |
| shcherbak | sangho: i do not do ftp at all. | 13:25 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, it seems .frm files can grow relatively large, if it spans multiple blocks you're not going to recover the whole file | 13:25 |
| sangho | okay. thanks to look at me. shcherbak | 13:25 |
| derek1 | i thought ubuntu was excellent until i tried to set up a media server and get drivers | 13:25 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, and forget about recovering the MYD and MYI files, that's not going to happen (unless there's extant inode information available) | 13:26 |
| schnuffle | sangho: pure-ftpd or proftpd are the ones commonly used | 13:26 |
| sangho | okay | 13:26 |
| ispirto | DeadPanda, it's 4096 | 13:26 |
| ispirto | hmm can i just recover the table structure from frm files? | 13:26 |
| ispirto | i dont need the data or indexes | 13:26 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, of course, but where's the data? | 13:26 |
| squarebracket | is there a ppa i should use for firefox beta 4? | 13:26 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, it's scattered randomly in blocks around your drive, unlikely to be contiguous | 13:27 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, if these files are super important, you may want to hard-stop the machine, pull out the drive and either forensically analyse it yourself | 13:27 |
| derek1 | well then, thanks. tiny xp it is then | 13:27 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, or give it to a professional data-recovery team | 13:27 |
| DeadPanda | ispirto, (and make backups next time) | 13:27 |
| pedronveloso | does the nvidia quadro NV 3100 works properly on ubuntu? | 13:27 |
| ispirto | DeadPanda, well, they have my 2 hours of work | 13:27 |
| shcherbak | derek1: instead of mouning, visit mesa project site. | 13:27 |

| tobier | pedronveloso: I can direct you to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, but as I don't use that card I can't be more of a help, sorry | 13:32 |

| ezra-s | kanhiya, ummm... try doing this -> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis | 13:55 |
| RealKillaz | sorry wrong channel | 13:55 |
| ezra-s | I don't really know if that driver supports your siscard but it prolly will, strange thing is if you dont have it installed already considering ubuntu install all driver packages by default | 13:55 |
| ezra-s | kanhiya, sometimes X not displaying the correct resolution is because the monitor refresh rates haven't been detected correctly but that's an old issue that usually does not happen in actual versions of xorg | 13:57 |
| shcherbak | ezra-s, kanhiya: http://www.linuxexpert.ro/Linux-Tutorials/setup-x-with-sis-771671-vga-controller.html | 13:57 |
| ebra | HELLO | 13:58 |
| kanhiya | ezra-s: thanks for help & i will take a look and will tell you if this works | 13:59 |
| ezra-s | those monitor refresh rates may not fit his/her actual monitor.. but it is a good start, maybe there is something wrong with the SIS driver if that suggests you to use vesa | 13:59 |
| derek1 | i am thinking maybe i am too much of a computer newb when it comes to linux to not be a waste of your time | 13:59 |

| giangitman | I have installed it on laptop K40IN Asus | 14:03 |
| derek1 | i think i have figured it out | 14:03 |
| derek1 | messing up in ubuntu will make me have to learn computers faster | 14:04 |
| derek1 | which is good and bad | 14:04 |

| Dwade09 | anyone know how i can fix my transfer file box where it shows everything instead of a grey box? | 14:06 |
| kamakoti | by default it takes a normal driver which I am getting stero sound only | 14:06 |
| kamakoti | They say in instructions step 1 . Backup the Config.in and Makefile in the sound driver directory (/usr/src/linux/driver/sound). The Configure.help provide help when you config driver in step 4, please backup the original one (/usr/src/linux/Document) and copy this file. | 14:07 |

| kamakoti | can anyone help in this regard | 14:08 |

| kamakoti | ANYONE LISTENING TO ME THERE | 14:09 |
| Dwade09 | shcherbak, yes it just shows a grey box instead of showing its eta and how much has transfered it even does it when i copy stuff to the local internal hdd | 14:09 |
| oCean | john38: is that a question? | 14:09 |
| oCean | !patience | kamakoti | 14:09 |
| ubottu | kamakoti: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 14:09 |
| sipior | kamakoti: try not being so needy. | 14:10 |
| john38 | oCean, which usb adapters does 10.04 support out of box? | 14:10 |
| ezra-s | kamakoti, do a lspci | grep Audio and show us what it says | 14:10 |
| ezra-s | "lspci | grep Audio" | 14:10 |
| ezra-s | sorry Im losing my good manners | 14:10 |
| kamakoti | HOW TO DO ISPCI | 14:10 |
| kamakoti | PLS i KNOW NOTHING ABOUT UBUNTU EXCEPT OS INSTALLATION | 14:10 |
| IdleOne | kamakoti: drop the caps please | 14:10 |
| ezra-s | kamakoti, open a terminal and type lspci | grep Audio | 14:11 |
| john38 | oCean, i installed 10.04 then compat wireless but adapter still didnt work | 14:11 |
| kamakoti | k sorry | 14:11 |
| sipior | kamakoti: the command is case-sensitive, which might be an issue with you. | 14:11 |

| shcherbak | Dwade09: is rest of windows ok and response to moving and resizing? | 14:11 |
| john38 | oCean, i wasn't able to pick up network connections | 14:11 |
| IdleOne | tmus: #ubuntu-packaging probably better place to ask | 14:11 |
| kamakoti | hi ezra-s: pls let me know where to do it | 14:12 |
| ezra-s | kamakoti, do you know how to open a terminal or use the linux terminal? | 14:12 |
| tmus | IdleOne, aah, i missed that - thanks so much | 14:12 |
| ^Phantom^ | What does it mean if a process has a "Nice" of -11 ? | 14:12 |
| kamakoti | 1 second | 14:12 |
| IdleOne | tmus: welcome | 14:12 |
| kamakoti | opened terminal | 14:12 |
| kamakoti | then | 14:12 |
| ezra-s | lspci | grep Audio | 14:12 |
| ezra-s | and copy paste the result here | 14:13 |
| ezra-s | its one line only | 14:13 |
| kamakoti | do you mean space in between ispci and grep Audio with seperator | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable). | 14:14 |
| john38 | oCean, ? | 14:14 |
| Dwade09 | shcherbak, yes | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | -11 would mean the app is getting more cpu then most apps. I think | 14:14 |
| kamakoti | it says command not found | 14:14 |
| ezra-s | kamakoti, copy paste what I typed and paste it in your terminal if you can | 14:14 |
| osmosis_paul | hi guys. i'm trying to configurate the skype but my microphone is not working, i have the typical microphone-headphone model, any idea? | 14:15 |
| osmosis_paul | the headphone works anyway | 14:15 |
| oCean | john38: don't ask *me*, ask the channel. (give details, steps taken, results so far etc all in one line) | 14:15 |
| john38 | do you have to do anything special after installing linux modules backports compat wireless when enabling network connections | 14:15 |
| ezra-s | kamakoti, not my intention to sound rude but you really should read about handling linux itself on a basic level before trying to install a driver or something like that | 14:15 |
| shcherbak | Dwade09: well, are you using metacity or compiz (do you have effect enabled)? | 14:16 |
| osmosis_paul | how can i test the microphone?? not working for skype | 14:16 |
| kamakoti | yes it says copy this file | 14:16 |

| john38 | i installed 10.04 using wireless adapter after installing linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless.deb network adapter still didnt work do i have to do anything special???? | 14:19 |
| shcherbak | Dwade09: in top, is any of mentioned too active? | 14:20 |
| kamakoti | ezra-s it says copy this file | 14:20 |
| ezra-s | Kotelete, right click on the horizontal three little bars you can see on the absolute right side of the notification area, unlock from pannel and then you can just drag and drop it whenever you want inside the same panel or another | 14:20 |
| erUSUL | john38: maybe a reboot is required. do you know what chip the adapter uses? | 14:20 |

| ezra-s | Kotelete, I am afraid you can change icons from the notification area itsef, that depends on the application itselt that has an icon in the notification area.. meaning you have to customize the application behaviour | 14:24 |
| kamakoti | but actually it is not intel actually it is c-media | 14:24 |

| mlmg317-himts | Hello everyone. Quick question. So this was kind of strange. I recently ran my updates via Update Manager, as is standard. Well, when I rebooted one time recently - my computer came up in Natty Narwhal (Alpha 1 version). Then, when I shut down and turned it on again - it reverted back to Maverick Meerkat. I'm like, "Jigga what?" Can anyone explain this? | 14:41 |
| headkase314 | Dr_Willis, for me it's my wired ethernet in my laptop. It is physically broken so I use the wireless exclusively. It's not critical, the laptop works fine with it enabled I'm just being picky about not seeing eth0 in my System > Administration > Network Tools list | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | headkase314: may be that the module gets loaded in early boot from initrd. or as request of another module ( something blacklist can't help ) | 14:41 |
| shcherbak | Dwade09: sudo apt-get install iotop && iotop -o | 14:41 |

| kalz | sipior: now you see why im racking my brains out. | 16:02 |
| edbian | shcherbak, Wouldn't happen to know more specifically would you? Can't seem to find it in desktop -> gnome anywhere | 16:02 |

| shcherbak | staff_nowa: php should have not that recent version in repos, also setting of synaptic. | 16:02 |

| benbro | oCean: it's just a single auth cookie file | 16:02 |
| cablop | i want a good theme for maverick with transparent borders on windows | 16:02 |
| cablop | i don't want a windows clone theme, i ant any that use transparent borders | 16:03 |
| oCean | benbro: then you would be fine | 16:03 |
| kalz | sipior: okay, whats the easiest way to do this? (sorry im (relatively) new) | 16:03 |
| shcherbak | edbian: refresh me, what you talk about? | 16:03 |

| Unknown0BC | My laptop today suddenly decided to not boot, grub would only boot saying GRUB and thats it. After fixing the master boot record and reinstalling grub I was able to boot ubunto again, but my windows will now only boot til it says "Starting up..." then it spews some carbage and hangs. Clearly something corrupted my Master boot record and the boot record on my windows partition. What could have done that ? | 16:08 |

| edbian | ryanf_109, X draws things on the screen, gnome is a Desktop Environment. It uses X to draw menus and such | 16:38 |

| cablop | no transparency themes ... | 16:40 |

| === pullo is now known as lexsyn | ||
| ryanf_109 | edbian, ok thanks. Does it draw anything for any other program other than gnome? | 16:40 |

| guest | shcherbak iwconfig or ifconfig? | 16:41 |

| shcherbak | guest: iwconfig | 16:41 |
| lexsyn | hi there, i want to do apt pinning on some package bu i cannot find /etc/apt/preferences file there is a folder preferences.d but it is empty how can i do that with which config file, i'm using maverick | 16:41 |
| LunaVorax | shcherbak, and unchecking "volumes_visible" right. It should remove also the SD cars and CD unfortunately but it'll deal with that | 16:42 |
| shcherbak | guest: sorry, you last one for now, so hope too connect you fast. | 16:42 |
| Craigwell | m4xx: I assume this is with the LTS consideration that you feel that way? | 16:42 |
| dodgy_script | tiany, it goes back to the last one used | 16:42 |
| LunaVorax | but I'll deal* | 16:42 |
| m4xx | yes, and less bugs afaik | 16:42 |
| edbian | ryanf_109, well it has an entire API that I'm not super familiar with. The program essential passes to 'gnome' (which is really gtk at this level) a big list of all the windows and buttons and such that make this app. Then gtk translates all that to lines and boxes and circles and such and X draws them. This btw is EXTREMELY vague and high level | 16:42 |
| LunaVorax | Thanks shcherbak | 16:42 |
| Craigwell | m4xx: ok, I appreciate that | 16:43 |
| Craigwell | thks | 16:43 |

| ryanf_109 | edbian, I LIKE vague lol | 16:43 |
| guest | shcherbak ok so i set the essid to the hotspot and then run dhclient and that "should" get me up and running ? | 16:43 |
| shcherbak | LunaVorax: you can produce shortcut on desktop from sd and cd | 16:43 |
| shcherbak | LunaVorax: you need just bash loop to react on mount | 16:44 |

| sipior | john38: us guys don't generally respond to bug reports. | 17:41 |
| john38 | i mean launchpad | 17:41 |
| sipior | john38: you might try asking them. | 17:41 |
| sam-_- | SirFunk, you would have to customize your initrd | 17:41 |
| Ptptaylor | yellabs-r2: if you convert it to anything you stand the chance in losing quality, you can't gain quality through encoding into something else | 17:41 |
| rww | john38: depends on the package, how well the bug report's written, whether anyone can reproduce it, whether its a common problem, and the phase of the moon | 17:41 |
| asflmf | @ayecee @sam it states : gave up waiting for root device | 17:41 |
| john38 | damn | 17:42 |
| SirFunk | sam-_-: yeah, I installed dropbear... and copied the ssh keys, but when i try to login it still asks for a password and doesn't accept any of them | 17:42 |

| ayecee | asflmf: is this right after doing the install? | 17:43 |
| yellabs-r2 | should i go for mp4 ? | 17:43 |
| Ptptaylor | yellabs: it depends what you want, if you want to reduce file size then yes convert it into mp4 | 17:43 |
| asflmf | @sam it also mentions something regarding BusyBox | 17:43 |
| Ptptaylor | yellabs: but you will not gain anything from doing it! only save space | 17:43 |

| ayecee | asflmf: the problem here is that it's looking for your root partition, but can't find it for some reason. It's assuming that's because the disk hasn't finished starting up, but that may not be the reason. | 17:47 |

| SirFunk | sam-_-: yeah, openssh on the client trying to login to dropbear on the server | 17:57 |
| asflmf | @ayecee That's the troubling thing. I only stumbled upon this after rebooting it a couple of times | 17:57 |
| ayecee | asflmf: does it go away if you reboot again? | 17:57 |
| asflmf | @ayecee after shutting the computer down several times, it just boots properly | 17:57 |
| wasutton3-Kira | does anyone think an ati 9250 can play back full hd video? | 17:57 |
| anternat | mongy: sorry a noob question but that means get it from internet repos right? | 17:58 |
| sam-_- | SirFunk, so definitely a dropbear issue then? | 17:58 |
| ayecee | asflmf: interesting. that is important information. | 17:58 |
| asflmf | @ayecee no it doesn't. There is something wrong though | 17:58 |
| === ian_ is now known as Namachieli | ||
| sam-_- | wasutton3-Kira, also depends on your processor | 17:58 |
| mongy | anternat, yes | 17:58 |

| asflmf | @ayecee your recommendation sounds correct (even though I was hoping not to go that route) | 17:58 |
| wasutton3-Kira | sam-_-: its a 2.8 ghz p4 and 2 gigs of ram | 17:59 |
| asflmf | @ayeceeI will do it and keep you posted | 17:59 |
| ayecee | asflmf: it's something to try, but it may not resolve the problem if it's intermittent like you describe. | 17:59 |
| ayecee | asflmf: okay, good luck | 17:59 |
| asflmf | @ayecee are you on here often? | 17:59 |

| Guest21219 | completely | 18:00 |

| Guest21219 | anyone know how to delete grub? | 18:01 |
| sam-_- | wasutton3-Kira, that wasn't too helpful, was it? maybe someone else knows... | 18:01 |
| SirFunk | sam-_-: i think i might have found the problem | 18:01 |
| sam-_- | SirFunk, do tell | 18:02 |
| SirFunk | i think the private keys mismatch or something.. i'll have to try it out when i have physical access to the box | 18:02 |
| wasutton3-Kira | sam-_-: i know, i have to tinker with drivers | 18:02 |
| Marqeaux | @Guest21219: Why you wanna delete Grub? Because you want to switch back to Windows? | 18:02 |
| Guest21219 | because i need to do a system restore, then install linux again | 18:02 |
| Guest21219 | but during the install the grub stops me | 18:02 |
| SirFunk | sam-_-: gonna head home for lunch and give it a try | 18:02 |
| Guest21219 | with grub recovery | 18:03 |
| SirFunk | thanks for making me poke aroudn the initramfs | 18:03 |
| Guest21219 | so i need to remove it, then recover, then install linux | 18:03 |
| sam-_- | SirFunk, anytime | 18:03 |
| Marqeaux | What does it say when Grub interrupts your installation? | 18:03 |
| Guest21219 | just comes up with grub recovery | 18:03 |
| sam-_- | SirFunk, or any time | 18:03 |
| Guest21219 | black screen, flashing cursor | 18:03 |
| Marqeaux | You want to install Ubuntu, or another Linux distro? | 18:04 |
| Guest21219 | ubuntu | 18:04 |
| Marqeaux | Okay... | 18:04 |
| magicianlord | Good morning. | 18:04 |
| s0ul | I have a question for all... | 18:05 |
| Marqeaux | Try to reinstall Grub first from a live session, and then install Ubuntu again. While installing, overwrite Grub again. That should do the trick! | 18:05 |
| Guest21219 | ive already tried, ive only got ubuntu installed right now | 18:05 |
| s0ul | I"m trying to connect my xbox 360 to my laptop to stream media. Short of using VMware is this even possible? | 18:06 |
| sam-_- | wasutton3-Kira, my feeling is though: your processor is too slow. i remember having problems with full hd on a T5600 ( core 2 duo) | 18:06 |
| Guest21219 | and when i run the recovery agent to get back windows as well, grub blocks it | 18:06 |
| claus | hi there, how can i change the default soundoutput in kubuntu 10.10? | 18:06 |
| claus | in teamspeak3 i can select the output-device but chromium still plays thru my intern soundcard even tho i set my headset as primary in phonon | 18:06 |
| wasutton3-Kira | sam-_-: hmmm i will have to take a look | 18:06 |
| Marqeaux | Okay.... | 18:06 |
| Guest21219 | is there nothing i can run in terminal | 18:06 |
| Marqeaux | So... start up Ubuntu in a live session.... | 18:06 |
| Guest21219 | ok | 18:06 |
| Marqeaux | Yes, you can! But only in a live session.... | 18:07 |
| Guest21219 | ok im taking notes! | 18:07 |
| Guest21219 | boot into live session | 18:07 |
| Marqeaux | Okay.... this is what you need to do.... | 18:07 |
| sam-_- | wasutton3-Kira, btw. if it is full hd "embedded" in flash. forget it. flash needs about twice as much power as it should. | 18:07 |
| Marqeaux | In the live session, go to the terminal..... | 18:07 |
| wasutton3-Kira | sam-_-: i refuse to use flash for things like that | 18:07 |
| Guest21219 | ok | 18:08 |
| magicianlord | wasutton3-Kira: why | 18:08 |
| sam-_- | wasutton3-Kira, just thought: maybe you stream it from somewhere. | 18:08 |
| wasutton3-Kira | magicianlord: because its a power hog | 18:08 |
| wasutton3-Kira | sam-_-: well that defeats the purpose of having the computer next to the tv | 18:08 |
| Marqeaux | In the terminal, type this: sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt (X stands for the number of the partition where Ubuntu is installed on.... | 18:08 |
| sam-_- | magicianlord, s/he is talking about adobe flashplayer | 18:09 |
| Marqeaux | Press "Enter" (of course).... | 18:09 |
| Guest21219 | ok | 18:09 |
| magicianlord | wasutton3-Kira: true | 18:09 |
| Marqeaux | Then you type in the terminal: sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt | 18:09 |
| Marqeaux | And press "Enter"..... | 18:10 |
| Marqeaux | After that, typ in your terminal: sudo reboot. | 18:10 |
| Marqeaux | Now Grub should work again. Try this first! ;) | 18:10 |
| Guest21219 | ok thanks | 18:11 |
| Guest21219 | but grub is working | 18:11 |
| Guest21219 | ill try explain a bit better: | 18:11 |
| Marqeaux | Okay... | 18:11 |
| Miso | how to go on onlinegamesnet.chat? | 18:11 |
| jdelanoy | can anyone suggest something to help Ubuntu manage power better on a laptop? | 18:12 |
| Guest21219 | I had ubuntu and windows dual booting | 18:12 |
| jdelanoy | it currently runs down my battery in like an hour, whereas Win7 gives me about 3 hours | 18:12 |
| Marqeaux | Go on.... | 18:12 |
| Guest21219 | so i tried to restore, because i did something wrong on windows | 18:12 |
| Guest21219 | which formatted my hdd, and installed windows (partly) | 18:12 |
| Guest21219 | then it rebooted, and i just got grub recovery | 18:13 |
| Guest21219 | and it wouldnt let the recovery move on | 18:13 |
| milen8204 | Anyone knows, How can I reset settings to recordMyDesctop | 18:13 |
| milen8204 | ? | 18:13 |
| Guest21219 | so i thought if i got rid of the grub then the recovery would be fine | 18:13 |
| Marqeaux | That's because you UUID has changed. Try to install Grub again, so it recognizes everything again.... | 18:14 |
| Guest21219 | ok so i should: | 18:14 |
| Guest21219 | run recovery | 18:14 |
| Guest21219 | boot into live | 18:14 |
| Guest21219 | install grub | 18:14 |
| Guest21219 | and then finish recovery? | 18:14 |
| FloodBot2 | Guest21219: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:14 |
| sam-_- | milen8204, delete the config files. | 18:14 |
| Marqeaux | Well, just install Grub, and see what happens.... ;) | 18:15 |
| Guest21219 | so is it possible to just install grub, without linux | 18:15 |
| milen8204 | sam-_-, where I can found it ? | 18:15 |
| agentgasmask | On hardy, I pull up System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to enable proprietary drivers for my zotac geforce GTS 450, But there is nothing listed. Should I install the .run file from Nvidia as a next step? | 18:15 |
| Guest21219 | so then after windows is sorted, i can install ubuntu again | 18:15 |
| sipior | jdelanoy: might start here: http://productivegeek.com/articles/how-to-maximize-the-battery-life-on-your-linux-laptop/ | 18:15 |

| jdelanoy | thanks | 18:15 |
| sam-_- | milen8204, don't know where they are. maybe in .config or .gconf or .recordmy*** | 18:15 |
| Marqeaux | Yep, you should (normally).... | 18:15 |
| Guest21219 | ok, and i can use the commands you gave me to install only the grub? | 18:16 |
| milen8204 | sam-_-, ok thanks i will see | 18:16 |
| Marqeaux | Yes.... | 18:16 |
| sam-_- | Mark_, you don't. use ssh | 18:16 |
| Guest21219 | ok thanks for your help mate | 18:16 |
| Mark_ | Of course, I know that. | 18:16 |
| Guest21219 | ill give it a bash! | 18:16 |
| Mark_ | But I want to VNC to be able to manage a GUI only app. | 18:16 |
| Marqeaux | You're welcome! ;) | 18:17 |
| sam-_- | Mark_, well then you would need to give it a head first | 18:17 |
| EagleCZ | Any idea on how to enable Numlock after grub? I would like to have it on when i'm logging in to both windows and ubuntu | 18:17 |
| Mark_ | sam-_-: There's got to be a way I can virtually create a head? | 18:18 |

| vega-_ | Dcite: yes, it's correct, also the speaker test there don't give sound | 18:47 |

| sam-_- | vega-_, the speakertest is broken for me as well. everything else works | 18:47 |
| sam-_- | Bejjan, you can use every fs with gpt | 18:47 |
| sam-_- | ActionParsnip, , you can use every fs with gpt | 18:48 |
| vega-_ | sam-_-: hmmm, the "test" in gstreamer-properties works just fine | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Eaglecz: there is a command you can sling i | 18:48 |

| john38 | sam-_-, would network adapter have any effect on wireless printing? | 19:00 |

| El-Kodar | yes, my webcams works with skype but doesn't works with amsn | 19:03 |
| sam-_- | john38, maybe your connection is a little unstable. | 19:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaabi: having a root pass is neither supported nor advised | 19:04 |
| john38 | sam-_-, it prints on my computer which is wired | 19:05 |

| Docfxit | I would like to have FTP. I just installed Proftpd. I can't get it to connect. In package manager I see there are two conflicts. wu-ftpd and ftp-server. Should I uninstall Proftpd and use one that is already installed or should I uninstall the two that are conflicts? | 19:06 |
| qq99 | Docfxit, FileZilla is pretty nice if you want to try that | 19:06 |
| john38 | sam-_-, what could be printer or usb adapter? | 19:06 |
| sam-_- | john38, it shouldn't matter if it's wireless or wired as long as the connection is stable | 19:06 |
| Docfxit | qq99 I'll go with anything I can get running. | 19:07 |
| jrr | I'm a noob | 19:07 |
| john38 | sam-_-, maybe printer drivers is not that good? | 19:07 |
| qq99 | Docfxit, just try installing that in the ubuntu software manager, should be like 0 set-up, enter your account and good to go (at least for me on 10.10) | 19:07 |
| gaaBi | ActionParsnip this happens with the superuser also, not only the root | 19:07 |
| Docfxit | qq99 Thanks. I'll try it. | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Docfxit: i'd remove the others or there will be a race to grab port 21 | 19:07 |
| sam-_- | Docfxit, i think filezilla is not a ftp server which is what you want right? | 19:08 |
| qq99 | ohh, I thought he meant ftp browser | 19:08 |
| qq99 | Docfxit, sorry | 19:08 |

| sam-_- | gp5st, the question is. why would you want hours? | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaabi: the account is disabled for security as well as other reasons. You can do as much as root can with any account in the admin group so you never need to use the account | 19:12 |

| ActionParsnip | Gaabi: to fix your mess... | 19:12 |
| sam-_- | purpzey, seems like you need to adjust the permissions | 19:13 |
| purpzey | sam-_-: How would I go about doing that? | 19:13 |
| sam-_- | purpzey, easy way out: chmod 777 <prog name> | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | purpzey: is the file marked as executable and for your user? | 19:14 |
| sam-_- | purpzey, also put sudo in front :-) | 19:14 |
| purpzey | ActionParsnip: I don't know | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Sam-_-: 777 is a really bad idea | 19:14 |

| luxgeek | ActionParsnip: Well, I'm guessing apache2 webserver.. I mean. that's what I installed. | 19:22 |
| sam-_- | dodgy_script, last time i checked nm and wicd were conflicting packages | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Heemboi: yes there is a floppy image on pendrivelinux | 19:22 |
| sam-_- | dodgy_script, so you would need to force the install of wicd and disable nm. probably easier to just remove nm while testing wicd | 19:23 |
| luxgeek | ActionParsnip: Just need to know the acct so I can add it to group when my user puts something in the web server path (i.e. /var/www | 19:24 |

| Touns | please, i can't use my touchpad anymore (I think it's after an update). If I change my source.list from lucid to maverick, after an apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade : will this work fine ? | 19:52 |
| ddr400 | Isaac-M: do you have floppy drive? | 19:53 |
| Touns | (my update, so maybe my touchpad too) | 19:53 |
| Isaac-M | ddr400: no | 19:53 |
| ddr400 | then it's a false error | 19:53 |
| peetra | Trying to edit at wiki.ubuntu.com? ppl often get this answer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulSladen | 19:53 |
| ddr400 | maybe you can deactivate it later | 19:53 |
| peetra | or somethiong like that | 19:53 |
| _AV_ | Touns: Did your system screwed up after upgrading? | 19:53 |
| Isaac-M | I think it might be related to the error I get when booting into windows. "Disk seek failure. Cannot find drive 0" | 19:54 |
| Touns | _AV_: no | 19:54 |
| Isaac-M | Dang it. So basically, I'm screwed. | 19:54 |
| Touns | _AV_: ony my touchpad | 19:54 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, no. | 19:54 |
| Touns | only | 19:54 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, can you disable your floppy in bios? | 19:54 |
| Pici | peetra: Thats odd, You may want to try #ubuntu-doc or #launchpad . The former controls the wiki, the latter sort of controls the login mechanism. | 19:54 |
| Isaac-M | I don't have a floppy drive | 19:54 |
| bisu[Shield] | error: mysql cannot connect because my mysqld.sock file does not exist, where does it normally exist in linux? | 19:54 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, still you may be able to disable it in bios | 19:55 |
| Isaac-M | Ok | 19:55 |
| Isaac-M | I'll look | 19:55 |
| _AV_ | Touns: Which version did you upgrade? | 19:55 |
| ddr400 | Isaac-M: try deactivating floppy from bios | 19:55 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, also you can pass the "nofloppy" option to the kernel. | 19:55 |
| peetra | okey, ty Pici | 19:55 |
| ddr400 | or instead -maybe- you have problems on your Motherboard | 19:56 |
| Touns | _AV_: and I can-t only with my keyboard to do the update to maverick (I need to access to system > update manager > configuration) but i can't access to the "configuration" button only with the keyboard | 19:56 |
| shaadow | is there anyway to change this line "Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost ? | 19:57 |
| bisu[Shield] | mysql cannot connect because my mysqld.sock file does not exist, where is it normally? | 19:57 |
| Pici | shaadow: You want to get rid of it? Or what? | 19:57 |
| shaadow | Pici: yes | 19:57 |
| Pici | shaadow: From your indexes? | 19:57 |
| Isaac-M | There's no way to disable the floppy drive, sam-_- ddr400 | 19:57 |
| _AV_ | Touns: So are you completely disabled? | 19:57 |
| ddr400 | sure? looked into bios? | 19:57 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, also you can pass the "nofloppy" option to the kernel. | 19:58 |
| Isaac-M | Just did | 19:58 |
| shaadow | Pici: yes, when someone www to my apache server, i dont want them to se that im running apache. | 19:58 |
| Isaac-M | Sam-_- how? | 19:58 |
| _AV_ | Touns: Just try with an external mouse? | 19:58 |
| ddr400 | do you have award or amibios? | 19:58 |
| Touns | _AV_: I don't have one :/ | 19:58 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, just replace splash with nofloppy | 19:58 |
| Isaac-M | I have AWARDBios | 19:58 |
| Touns | _AV_: yes the touchpad is completly disable. The button too | 19:58 |
| Isaac-M | Sam-_- what? | 19:59 |
| ddr400 | it's a hp or another big company's pc? | 19:59 |

| WaltherFI | If I install ubuntu-minimal and then install manually huge amount of software etc, is it going to work smoothly as ubuntu default or will it have'more problems as the readily-customised default ubuntu? | 19:59 |
| ddr400 | mmm, maybe the bios has few options so | 19:59 |
| Isaac-M | K | 19:59 |
| Touns | _AV_: so did you think if I replace "lucid" with "maverick" and if I do an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, will my update work ? | 19:59 |
| _AV_ | Touns: Check the button that allows you to lock or unlock the touchpad. | 19:59 |
| Touns | _AV_: I don't have one button like that | 20:00 |
| Isaac-M | Ddr400 I see the floppy disk, but it's the only option under removable device priority, so it won't let me remove it | 20:00 |
| ddr400 | cannot move it to the last priority? | 20:00 |

| _AV_ | Touns: Which laptopo are you using? | 20:01 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, you did boot up last time with a removed splash option right? | 20:01 |
| Isaac-M | Sam-_- I hit ecpscaoe to toggle the splash off so It showed verbose mode | 20:02 |
| Isaac-M | Escape | 20:02 |
| Touns | _AV_: I find some things on google about installing gsynaptics then using the "touchpad" menu inside system > preferences > touchpad. But I get an error message "you need to have true in the SHMConfig in the xorg.conf file. But I don't have this section. So I add it, but it change nothing | 20:02 |
| Isaac-M | Is that what you mean? | 20:02 |
| Pici | shaadow: I thought that was controlled by mod_autoindex, but I can't seem to find that setting there. The folks in #httpd should be able to point you in the right direction though. | 20:02 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, ah. press e in grub. it will let you edit the selected boot entry | 20:03 |
| Touns | usualy I'm able to do ctrl + alt + num lock to use my keyboard as a mouse, but i'm on an netbook and I don't have the numlock key | 20:03 |

| mistercraig | when i double click a movie file - movie play pops up - how do i modify this behaviour so it opens a different program .. e.g. vlc? | 20:06 |

| Docfxit | I have tried a number of different repositories. | 20:06 |
| DexterF | a 910/1004 upgrade tells me gThumb and xsane are not supported anymore - what's the preferred picture viewer and scanning tool these days? | 20:06 |
| edbian | ddr400, I have noticed that since I got unity (UNE) I am unable to find any system settings or otherwise | 20:06 |
| Docfxit | I have tried apt-get install pure-ftpd-mysql | 20:07 |
| ddr400 | so no power settings? seems strange | 20:07 |
| edbian | ddr400, I'm updating right now. Haven't done that in a while | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | whoever_: the freenode webchat has an option to hide those messages. | 20:07 |
| ddr400 | check in control center/panel etc | 20:07 |
| Pici | tim_: I belive that g-s-m adds/subtracts the buffers/cached values. | 20:07 |
| whoever_ | erUSUL: how? | 20:07 |
| edbian | ddr400, I don't have control center/panel | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | whoever_: click on the irc icon ( left upper corner ) choose options | 20:07 |
| magicianlord | edbian: try using gnome | 20:07 |
| edbian | ddr400, That's the root of the problem | 20:07 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, hmm. i don't see nofloppy here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt;h=b72e071a3e5bd1ca958c423df347d7b1ab515573;hb=HEAD | 20:08 |

| Isaac-M | Sam-_- I held shift after selecting "Run ubuntu from this USB", a bunch of code flew by, and my computer rebooted. | 20:08 |
| tim_ | Pici: So for a quick look g-s-m is showning the "true" used RAM? | 20:08 |
| ddr400 | ok | 20:08 |
| whoever_ | foobarbaz: got it done on webchat. | 20:08 |
| edbian | ddr400, What is the command to start control center or something? Perhaps I can run it from the terminal | 20:08 |
| rtdos | will ubuntu be switching over to libreoffice due to the 'issues' with oracle and openoffice ? | 20:09 |
| ddr400 | sorry, never used | 20:09 |
| ZykoticK9_ | rtdos, it's planned yes | 20:09 |
| edbian | ddr400, Can you figure it out for me on gnome? | 20:09 |
| mistercraig | tester, thankyou | 20:09 |
| ubutom | mistercraig, system -> settings -> preferred applications, there you can choose vlc by choosing user defined and putting vlc into that box | 20:09 |
| edbian | ddr400, figure out the command to run control center? | 20:09 |
| tim_ | rtdos: yes as far as i know | 20:09 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, how did you install ubuntu on the usb? link to the guide? | 20:09 |
| ddr400 | i am searching | 20:09 |
| Isaac-M | Sam-_- I found the option | 20:09 |
| mistercraig | ubutom, thankyou too | 20:09 |
| edbian | ddr400, thanks | 20:09 |
| rtdos | ZykoticK9_ or tim_ - in 11.04 perhaps or even later ? | 20:09 |
| Isaac-M | Sam-_- I hit tab on the installer menu to edit the flags | 20:09 |
| Isaac-M | Do I add --no floppy? | 20:10 |
| Isaac-M | Nofloppy | 20:10 |
| tim_ | rtdos: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/09/future-ubuntu-releases-will-be-shipped.html | 20:10 |
| ZykoticK9_ | rtdos, not sure - sorry. I believe it will be 11.04 though (just guessing) | 20:10 |
| mi-black | Bonsoir | 20:10 |
| Pici | tim_: I'm not sure, I don't have a graphical setup here to check. Is the 'used' ram in g-s-m greater than the one in 'free'? | 20:10 |
| ddr400 | maybe gnome-control-center | 20:10 |

| tim_ | Pici: no, used RAM is smaller then in 'free' | 20:11 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, every option after the -- won't get recognized. so put it in front | 20:11 |
| tim_ | Pici: NO | 20:11 |
| Isaac-M | Oh | 20:11 |
| tim_ | Pici: Used RAM is smaller in G-S-M | 20:11 |
| Isaac-M | Like, splash nofloppy --? | 20:11 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, you can delete splash | 20:11 |
| Isaac-M | Ok | 20:12 |
| ddr400 | edbian should be under system/preferences | 20:12 |
| sam-_- | Isaac-M, like i said it probably won't help. i will look for another solution. one sec. | 20:12 |
| rtdos | thanks ZykoticK9_ and tim_ | 20:12 |
| Isaac-M | I did nofloppy -- | 20:12 |
| edbian | ddr400, i don't have that either. Remember this is unity | 20:12 |
| Isaac-M | Work | 20:13 |
| Isaac-M | Sam-_- didn't worl | 20:13 |
| tim_ | Pici: GSM shows mw 353MB used, 'free' shows 995MB used | 20:13 |
| tester | mrcraig, try right click on the file then properties > open with | 20:13 |
| ddr400 | i never tryed it, just doesnt make sense to remove it.. | 20:13 |
| Isaac-M | My computer is screwed up | 20:13 |
| Isaac-M | Lol | 20:13 |
| edbian | from the bottom I have: trash, applications, folders / files, workspaces, update manager, term, ubuntu software center, music player, cheese, emails, empathy, firefox | 20:13 |
| edbian | Nothing about system preferences / settings or anything | 20:13 |
| Pici | tim_: So then the RAM shown in g-s-m is likey the used ram minus any files that are currently being buffered or cached by the kernel. Those will be automatically freed if an application really needs to use more RAM. You may want to look at http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html for more info. | 20:13 |
| edbian | (It's annoying) | 20:13 |
| ddr400 | mmm | 20:13 |

| sam-_- | Isaac-M, if this doesn't help you have to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and recreate your initramfs | 20:35 |

| Vhozard | Emphaty only has: Voice and video call using SIP, XMPP and Google Talk. | 21:24 |

| mongy | sjm, or is that pass-through, whatever. | 21:24 |

| bencahill | s/1.5 seconds/1.5 seconds later/ | 21:25 |
| Musigreg | In addition to that, I'd like to log the copy with timestamps at each line. | 21:25 |

| rww | Irreducibilis: Fedora should write its own copy of GRUB during installation, so I'd expect that not to be a problem... | 21:37 |
| jrib | Irreducibilis: why don't you just install fedora alongside ubuntu? Or try it in a vm? | 21:37 |
| brontoeee | aeon-ltd, :) | 21:37 |
| steven_ | Fedora knows how to replace ubuntu, shouldn't be an issue. It'll pick it up | 21:37 |

| aeon-ltd | Roberty: hmm is russian close enough? | 21:40 |
| rww | Irreducibilis: From the look of it, you got caught in crossfire between channel residents and someone asking for help with a version of Fedora from five years ago. | 21:40 |

| ruffleS | Roberty, #ubuntu-ua | 21:41 |
| rww | Irreducibilis: *nods* | 21:41 |
| Irreducibilis | Curly_Q: Its a 250 gig drive with 60 reserved for ubuntu, and the rest Windows (for games) | 21:41 |
| Roberty | THENKS | 21:41 |
| Curly_Q | OK but do you have logical partitions though? That would make a difference. | 21:42 |
| doodoo | i got a new laptop today and it have two cards: intel and ATI...how to check which card is running? | 21:44 |
| Irreducibilis | Curly_Q: I'm not sure what that means... I just shrunk the windows partition from within windows and then had Ubuntu use the new free space when it installed. | 21:44 |
| ruffleS | Roberty, ласкаво просимо :) | 21:44 |
| Curly_Q | Using a software to partition the HD is not a good choice. Use FDISK with Windows and create logical partitions. Therefore, Grub loader doesn't care about Windows or Ubuntu sharing a Windows partition. | 21:44 |
| ruffleS | whatever that means... | 21:44 |
| Roberty | )) | 21:44 |
| doodoo | how do i check that my graphic card is in use? | 21:45 |
| Curly_Q | Hence, you can clean out any partition and format it accordingly. | 21:45 |

| steve7467539 | Looking for good html editor | 21:47 |
| Irreducibilis | Curly_Q: But they are separate partitions? The windows partition physically reads as 174GB, and Ubuntu reads 60GB | 21:47 |
| doodoo | no manually.... | 21:47 |
| Irreducibilis | I would assume they can't touch eachother. | 21:47 |

| tyranscoter | Anyone else having totem sound problems after upgrade to Maverick ? | 22:26 |
| ilovefairuz | dodgy_script: have to go, check if the cable is wired well and if the router normall responds to pings | 22:26 |
| lcb | steven_ no, a kick'n server :) | 22:26 |
| dodgy_script | ilovefairuz, ping 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.198 both return... ping: sendmeg: operation not permitted | 22:26 |
| phawk | maverick is 10.10 right? | 22:26 |
| rww | phawk: yes | 22:26 |
| steven_ | @phawk What about if you do a UMSDOS install? | 22:26 |
| aeon-ltd | steven_: don't think so, netsplits are sent as a message to those in the chan | 22:26 |
| tyranscoter | Maverick = 10.10 yes | 22:27 |
| phawk | @steven_ explain? | 22:27 |
| bryan886 | Quick question: how do i remove the floating toolbar with a keyboard icon on it that displays the input mode | 22:27 |
| dodgy_script | ilovefairuz, if i use arp-scan they show up ?? | 22:27 |
| steven_ | UMSDOS is a way to install linux onto an NTFS or Fat32 partition. | 22:27 |
| steven_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux | 22:28 |
| lcb | mongy« so sorry, i only now saw your message: in my situation i even don't have any xorg installed | 22:28 |
| phawk | yeah i found 10.10 to be no problem on my custom build pc, even the shitty £9.99 wirreless card worked | 22:28 |
| phawk | @steven_ that may work, will have to give it a go at some stage.. least i still have my terminal in os x though ;) | 22:28 |
| ilovefairuz | dodgy_script: did you install a firewall/iptables script? | 22:28 |
| delocated | In my nfs exports: 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.0.0 would give me from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.255.255 correct? | 22:28 |
| lcb | mongy, ubuntu server... | 22:28 |
| mongy | lcb, ok. I read somewhere it had something to do with mount-all | 22:28 |
| sam-_- | lcb, is it booting? | 22:28 |
| phawk | anyone using ubuntu server / compare it to centos? | 22:28 |
| steven_ | It's actually how I have ubuntu installed on this machine. | 22:28 |
| mongy | lcb, like if /var was on seperate partition | 22:29 |
| sam-_- | lcb, or does it stop after the error message? | 22:29 |
| phawk | is ntfs as good as hfs+ though? | 22:29 |
| cellardoor | phawk, ubuntu is a very big win when compared to CentOS | 22:29 |
| m1chael | is it possible to make an image file of a hard drive (windows 7 partition) and then completely whipe the hard drive, and then restore the image? | 22:29 |

| cellardoor | m1chael, dont know why you would want that, but yes | 22:29 |
| steven_ | centos good if you like to take awhile to configure really, really basic things like apache. Ubuntu Server, works out of the box with 99% of what you need to get a LAMP lit. | 22:29 |

| share | Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol suite. This enables you to plug your laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared. | 22:35 |

| blaenk | anyone please? it's a really simple question | 22:36 |
| jrib | Xenith[nb]: what? | 22:36 |
| myradlife_ | steven_, I have ssh configured so that I copy the folder on my laptop to the server, but I want to set it up so i can edit those files on the server and it syncs back to the laptop | 22:37 |
| dodgy_script | ilovefairuz, sorry no go! same output ! | 22:37 |
| ilovefairuz | Xenith[nb]: put it in ~/bin, chmod +x ~/bin/snap and then: snap gconf-register | 22:37 |
| ilovefairuz | dodgy_script: does this persist over reboots? | 22:37 |
| myradlife_ | steven_, although this sounds like a logical problem. something is going to have to know which folder was edited and not overwrite new files with old copies. that seems like an option in RSYNC, but i don't know it | 22:38 |
| Xenith[nb] | you mentioned metacity... is metacity in use when using the UNR "Mutter" wm | 22:38 |
| ilovefairuz | Xenith[nb]: you would have to use the left win key + left/right arrow for snapping, and up/down for resizing | 22:38 |
| blaenk | is there a more specialized channel for installations? I can't get an answer to a very simple question | 22:38 |

| blaenk | erUSUL: thanks. hey just one last quick question. in the drop down list it gives two options: /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 (Windows 7 Loader), which one? just the drive, /dev/sda? | 22:41 |
| tyranscoter | No sound from totem, but most other apps are ok. Any idea why ? | 22:41 |
| blaenk | erUSUL: yeah I was looking at that page | 22:41 |
| Kotelete | could u me pastebin /usr/share/desktop-directories/Office.directory | 22:41 |

| WinstonSmith | erUSUL, no sry my bad. the FS is R/W but it gets mounted in a dinamically generated folder owned by root and cmod'ed to 755. this must be some kind of config the automounter has | 22:53 |
| erUSUL | WinstonSmith: well udisks manages that | 22:53 |
| cellardoor | GSF1200S, right.. well try downloading some more bluetooth integration via Ubuntu Software Centre, there are some Ubuntu branded packages that assist with integrating things like bluetooth shortcuts into your desktop environment, sorry I can't be more specific, Also spread crotch on a 1200 would be bad.. especially if you came off >.< | 22:53 |

| Craigwell | i have just installed a new hard drive in my laptop. I use 10.04. I had my /home folder backed up, and installed new / on the replacement HD | 23:09 |
| Craigwell | question is: | 23:10 |
| Craigwell | am i able to copy over some of the features/settings that ended up on my old / partition to the new install? | 23:10 |
| Craigwell | (the drive is failing, but hasn't gone yet) | 23:10 |
| highlife | bt4 r2 im trying to run armitage and every time i scan with nmap i lose my wireless and have to reboot ar5000 | 23:10 |
| jrib | Craigwell: if you created the user with the same name just move the whole /home and do a chown. Do this in recovery mode | 23:10 |
| Craigwell | yes i did use the same name. | 23:11 |
| kgs | Hi. I have a general Linux question that google is not helping me with. What is the maximum length for a password in Ubuntu? From what I understand it is 8. Anything beyond the 8th character is ignored. Is this true? | 23:11 |
| benbro | what does avahi_install do? | 23:11 |
| Craigwell | jrib: does this mean i didn't have to do an install from the disc for the / partition on the new drive? | 23:11 |
| jrib | Craigwell: you didn't have to but this is probably easier | 23:12 |
| Craigwell | jrib: could i just use gparted live cd and copy the / partition to the replacement drive? | 23:12 |
| Craigwell | i have the old drive in a usb enclosure, still can access it easily | 23:12 |
| erUSUL | kgs: doubt it; what makes you think it is 8? | 23:13 |
| jrib | Craigwell: you'd need to update UUIDs in fstab and grub. At this point, I'd recommend doing what I said above with /home (including the chown part). If you want to install the same packages you could still chroot to your old install and use the following factoid: | 23:13 |
| * jrib 's mind blanks | 23:13 | |
| jrib | !clone | Craigwell | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Craigwell: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:13 |

| pullo | there is a folder preferences.d but it is empty | 23:14 |
| jrib | pullo: /etc/apt/preferences* Why are you looking for it? | 23:14 |
| pullo | apt pinning | 23:15 |
| jrib | pullo: you can create /etc/apt/preferences or create a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/. See ubottu | 23:15 |
| jrib | !pinning > pullo | 23:15 |
| ubottu | pullo, please see my private message | 23:15 |

| cowslammer | jrib what is pinning | 23:16 |
| jrib | !pinning | cowslammer | 23:16 |
| ubottu | cowslammer: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:16 |
| pullo | jrib: i know this wiki pages but in preferences.d i need to create a file, does its name matter? | 23:17 |
| jrib | pullo: no, I don't think so. You can also just create a generic /etc/apt/preferences. You can check « man apt_preferences » too | 23:18 |
| whammo | can anyone advise how to enable acceleration for intel gma x4500 gpu? most forums recommend tweaking xorg.conf which seems to be blank in 10.04 | 23:18 |
| Craigwell | jrib: ok, the chown and chroot stuff i am unfamiliar with. I did keep the old /home during the install, no problem with that .. i have / and /home on their own partitions | 23:18 |
| pullo | jrib: thanks alot | 23:18 |
| whammo | glxinfo | grep rendering gives me a bunch of Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 23:18 |
| jrib | Craigwell: so /home is on its own drive? You said the drive was failing, didn't you? | 23:19 |
| Craigwell | jrib: i used gparted to copy /home to the replacement drive, and configured the new install to use it | 23:19 |
| jrib | Craigwell: ok, then you're all set. What else do you need to do? | 23:19 |
| Craigwell | jrib: there are some configuration settings that seem to have been left behind, | 23:20 |
| jrib | Craigwell: system settings you mean? | 23:20 |
| Craigwell | such as the workaround i managed to get the lovely broadcom wirless working... yes, settings | 23:20 |
| jrib | Craigwell: system settings are usually in /etc/, you could copy over the files you want from there | 23:20 |
| Craigwell | jrib: ok, just replace the fresh installs /etc files with those from the original drive? | 23:21 |
| jrib | Craigwell: for wireless, you probably just need to run jockey-gtk and enable it | 23:21 |
