| meway | ThOr101, and what is the goal? for why? | 01:04 |
| Spreadsheet | Where do I chat about suggestions to Ubuntu | 01:05 |
| ThOr101 | The goal is to not leave a trace. I'm also looking to keep the persistant part of the drive read only, so any changes that are made to the drive are lost on reboot. | 01:05 |

| queuetip | i don't understand how you can understand how to partition a drive but not know what pastebin is : / | 01:05 |
| ThOr101 | meway: Depending on how you boot. Boot it one way, and you can add packages, boot it another way, and you are safe from permanent changes made to the system. | 01:06 |
| julia_23 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/555608 | 01:06 |
| meway | ThOr101, you should only be able to add files and remove only the files you added. I'm not 100% on this. But there will always be a recoverable trace. | 01:06 |
| meway | ThOr101, is the gaol to navigate the drive? | 01:07 |

| julia_23 | thx | 01:08 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: ok so what is stoping you from making sda6 the next partition? | 01:08 |
| ThOr101 | meway: The goal is to customize a thumb drive, and then be able to take it out "in the field" and boot the Thumb Drive read only and (ignore the hard drive). This way if the system is compromised it is not permanent, and there isn't any trace of being there on the host computer (2 goals). | 01:08 |

| x-frog | Desktop... says Grub loading error: hd1, msdos1 out of disk entering rescue mode...then a prompt that says grub rescue>....what do i do | 01:09 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: gparted will not allow me to create another extended partition, only logical | 01:09 |
| meway | ThOr101, so here is what you do disable the drive in the bios :p | 01:09 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: if you click on the unused space just say you want to make it a logical partition | 01:09 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: i have done that already | 01:09 |
| ThOr101 | meway: not an option (at least, not always) | 01:10 |
| tripz0r | PLEASE " Hey does any1 know how to fix this error ? " E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. " ????? please help | 01:10 |
| ThOr101 | meway: My understanding is that ubuntu will use the swap partition on the hard drive (if it finds one) | 01:10 |
| schnuffle | magik-: use passive mode for your ftp client | 01:10 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: I can do that, it works just fine, but I run out of space to create /boot and /swap | 01:10 |
| ome | hi schnuffle | 01:10 |
| ThOr101 | meway: It will also try to mount any drives that it finds. | 01:10 |
| ThOr101 | meway: Not cool | 01:10 |
| schnuffle | hi | 01:10 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: let me simulate in virtualbox so I can be sure but seems you can have 4 partitions in your extended partitions so you should have up to 8 available | 01:10 |
| ThOr101 | meway: For this application anyway | 01:10 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: the extended partition is full | 01:11 |
| xangua | tripz0r: sudo apt-get install -f | 01:11 |
| tripz0r | don't work | 01:11 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: it contains my old ubuntu installation that I wish to delete after I install ubuntu onto a new parition | 01:11 |
| ThOr101 | sacarlson: If that is true, max would be 7, 4 primary, one being the extended, and then 4 extended. Makes for 7 mountable | 01:11 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: i have alrady copied my profile from /sda5 onto /sda2 | 01:12 |
| julia_23 | all I need is a /boot and a root | 01:12 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: this will take me some time (about 6 min) to boot a virtualbox and see if I can create 8 partitions in the same maner | 01:12 |
| ThOr101 | meway: Am I wrong in assuming that ubuntu will try to use the swap on the hard drive? | 01:12 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: thank you for your effort, it does not go unapreciated | 01:12 |
| bencahill | jrib: I just decided to kill it. thanks anyway :) | 01:12 |
| bencahill | does anyone know how the 'show desktop' works and what package it is related to? | 01:12 |
| x-frog | Desktop... says Grub loading error: hd1, msdos1 out of disk entering rescue mode...then a prompt that says grub rescue>....what do i do | 01:12 |
| magik- | fn'schnuffle: passive is enabled ;( I've never had so much trouble with such a simple deal. | 01:13 |
| meway | ThOr101, if its disabled in Bios | 01:13 |
| meway | idk | 01:13 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: keep in mind that this was originally wubi installation that I sucessfully transferred onto /sda5. | 01:13 |
| ThOr101 | meway: I don't have access to BIOS in each case (or at least I can't assume that) | 01:13 |
| meway | ThOr101, sure you can | 01:14 |
| gnewb | x-frog: Maybe a fix-grub thing, I really am not certain on that, but is a possibility. | 01:14 |
| ThOr101 | meway: Ahh, wouldn't that be nice. If I could assume that, I wouldn't be having this fine chat with you ;-) | 01:14 |

| sacarlson | julia_23: I am booting virtual ubuntu 10.10 I forgot to ask what you were running | 01:15 |
| meway | ThOr101, ither there is a battery, or a jumper on the motherboard. | 01:15 |
| meway | take it out or enable the jumper :p | 01:16 |
| schnuffle | magik-: wich server? | 01:16 |

| linuxman410 | no | 01:18 |
| ThOr101 | meway: Uhh, sure? | 01:19 |
| linuxman410 | the last remix i used was 9.10 | 01:19 |
| gnewb | linuxman410: Is that a netbook? | 01:19 |
| linuxman410 | yes | 01:19 |

| bird_turd | is Ruby a useful programming language? | 01:21 |
| schnuffle | bird_turd: yes | 01:21 |
| aeon-ltd | bird_turd: depends on the purpose, but any heavily used language is | 01:21 |
| Aginor | bird_turd: it's as useful as any other programming language, it depends on what you feel comfortable with and what you're trying to achieve | 01:21 |
| linuxman410 | gnewb the asus eeepc only has a 900 celeron processor | 01:21 |
| linuxman410 | the 7-1 that is | 01:22 |
| linuxman410 | 701 | 01:22 |
| bird_turd | what kind of things does it typically get used for | 01:22 |
| gnewb | linuxman410: Have you also looked at the 'lighter' versions? | 01:22 |
| linuxman410 | can u name a few | 01:22 |
| aeon-ltd | linuxman410: the truth about unr is, is that its in no way (technically) better than stock ubuntu. | 01:22 |
| schnuffle | bird_turd: most kown is certainly rails web development | 01:23 |
| xangua | linuxman410: maybe lubuntu or xubuntu will fit to your needs | 01:23 |
| gnewb | linuxman410: Xubuntu is one, Lubuntu is about the lightest I have seen. | 01:23 |
| linuxman410 | does lubuntu have a netbook version | 01:24 |
| ggomez | I have a question, can anybody help me ? | 01:24 |
| xangua | linuxman410: lxde has a netbook interface, yes | 01:24 |
| schnuffle | !ask | ggomez | 01:24 |
| ubottu | ggomez: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:24 |
| gnewb | linuxman410: I am on Lubuntu now, is simply great on this old box I have. | 01:24 |
| ggomez | I cant install xmms in lucid distro | 01:24 |
| Aginor | bird_turd: I'm going to make lots of people disagree, but I'd probably place it fairly close to python in its use cases | 01:24 |
| jPuff | how do i install xchat on my ubuntu 10.10 desktop? its connected to the internet but its not the one im using now | 01:24 |
| bird_turd | is it good for regular desktop applications(word processor-type things, maintenance tools, etc). non-web things | 01:25 |
| aeon-ltd | jPuff: are you using gnome-xchat? | 01:25 |
| Poshe | How do you even OPEN sdcc? I followed all the installation instructions but I can't open it? | 01:25 |
| jPuff | i am using freenode webchat | 01:25 |
| aeon-ltd | bird_turd: imo, c would be better | 01:25 |
| joe_ | jPuff: go to the ubuntu software centre | 01:25 |
| aeon-ltd | jPuff: sudo apt-get install xchat | 01:25 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: from my simulation I see that because it's the first partition it wants to be a primary partition | 01:25 |
| joe_ | n type xchat | 01:26 |
| gnewb | linuxmN410: > http://lubuntu.net/about | 01:26 |
| wedwo- | ggomez, why not? | 01:26 |
| schnuffle | bird_turd: for desktpo apps: python/qt | 01:26 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: i see, so if i delete my swap it wont do anything will it? | 01:26 |
| Aginor | bird_turd: I'd not use an interpreted language for many of those things, but it certainly is possible | 01:26 |
| joe_ | go for xchat IRC | 01:26 |

| gnewb | whoops | 01:28 |
| gnewb | HellO | 01:28 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: hmm. If I create a primary and designate it as "/" , can I not worry about not assigning a swap and a /boot? | 01:28 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: so If you could delete your swap I think that will work, with it deleted you can create the primary at that location and create anther partition after for swap in a extended partitiion | 01:28 |

| ggomez | because dependy problems with libraries | 01:29 |
| ggomez | I'v already installed but says it is doesn't | 01:30 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: I can create a primary with the unallocated space | 01:30 |
| Poshe | schnuffle: I can't OPEN the app. | 01:30 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: if I do not assign a swap, or a /boot, will ubuntu install properly, then I can assign a /boot and /swap later? | 01:31 |
| wedwo- | ggomez, shouldn't have any dependency problems if you install it with synaptic. I have it installed on 10.04 and it works | 01:31 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: once I get ubuntu up and working on the new partiton, I will delete all the others | 01:31 |
| ggomez | I didnt find the package | 01:31 |
| ggomez | I ve kubuntu 10.04 | 01:31 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: or is it much better to assign a /boot and swap before installing to save the hasstle? | 01:32 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: is just that first partition that needs to be a primary you will have 8 partitions to play with or more after that first space is alocated as a primary from the removal of swap | 01:32 |
| schnuffle | Poshe: what happens when to execute sdcc in a terminal? | 01:32 |
| Poshe | schnuffle: how do I execute sdcc in terminal? | 01:33 |

| kwtm | Hey, a fellow Kubuntu user! ggomez, you're saying that you've installed "xmms" but when you run xmms, it says command not found? Or you don't find it in the menu? Or it says it can't install? | 01:33 |
| schnuffle | !terminal | Poshe | 01:33 |
| ubottu | Poshe: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:33 |
| sacarlson | julia_23: in the future you should learn in a virtualbox so that you can learn without damage to your data | 01:33 |
| julia_23 | sacarlson: thats the plan | 01:33 |
| julia_23 | hehe | 01:33 |

| ggomez | I cant install it | 01:34 |
| kwtm | Aginor: I am a Python fan, but don't know Ruby that well. Would you say that Ruby has a more compact syntax, but Python (having been around longer) has a bigger ecosystem of Programs People Have Already Written? | 01:34 |

| KM0201 | kwtm: or you, whoever had the xmms question | 01:37 |
| adub | on ubuntu 10.04 how can i enable root ssh logins by default | 01:37 |
| kwtm | KM0201: Your answer makes me think you meant to point it at ggomez. I did not have any question at all. | 01:37 |
| adub | i want to be able to login directly as root | 01:37 |
| a7i3n | So I installed vuse. The program runs. But the buttons don't work... | 01:37 |

| schnuffle | what doe it tell you? | 01:38 |
| kwtm | adub: I will tell you how if you really want, but it would be MUCH more secure if you didn't do a root login. You could, for example, login as a user and then sudo the files into place. | 01:38 |
| KM0201 | adub: then why did you choose ubuntu? use fedora or debian, etc.. that allow a root login | 01:38 |

| ubottu | joe_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 01:39 |

| greg777 | if you want rolling release, however, try linux mint debian edition | 01:40 |

| adub | well on winscp how can i move files over using this program to directories that require root access | 01:40 |
| joe_ | schuffle: how is your ubuntu going? | 01:40 |

| greg777 | anybody have packaging experience? | 01:41 |
| kwtm | adub: GOod question. I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you, so I'll tell you have to allow SSh login as root, but just keep in mind that you are deliberately making it possible for anyone to login as root (and install a rootkit, which you'll probably never detect). Still want to know? | 01:41 |
| KM0201 | adub: perhaps you should google some terminal commands... everything you want to do, does not require a root account | 01:41 |
| Aginor | but I think that if we're going to have a religious war about programming languages, it would be a good idea to move it to a different channel ;) | 01:41 |
| === RaNdY is now known as Guest99151 | ||
| adub | kwtm if they know my password | 01:42 |
| kwtm | KM0201: I think adub wants to use just a plain SCP program (WinSCP) ... does it allow executing terminal commands? That would be nice... | 01:42 |
| KM0201 | kwtm: i don't seewhy it wouldnt | 01:42 |
| joe_ | schnuffle: good going....a few weeks back i had enough with windows and decided to shift to ubuntu and since then life has been much better | 01:42 |

| wedwo- | ggomez, see if this helps: http://tombott.com/install_xmms_on_ubuntu_8.04_8.10_9.04_9.10_10.04_last.fm_scrobble | 01:42 |
| adub | how do i enable root login | 01:42 |
| Poshe | schnuffle: I'm not sure what you mean by binary? | 01:42 |
| Aginor | kwtm: have you heard of the distributed botnets that try to guess and bruteforce ssh passwords for common usernames, including root? :) | 01:43 |
| greg777 | @adub: sudo psswd | 01:43 |
| kwtm | adub: Well, I wouldn't say that it would happen only if "they know my password" because: a) they can find out your password (you *are* logging in from a Windows machine, after all), or b) there may be other ways without a password. Aaanyway. | 01:43 |
| schnuffle | Poshe: an executable file called sdcc | 01:43 |
| kwtm | Aginor: I think you meant to tell that to adub. | 01:43 |
| greg777 | then change the password | 01:43 |
| Aginor | kwtm: sorry, I did | 01:43 |
| greg777 | then login as su | 01:43 |
| adub | na | 01:43 |
| adub | nevermind | 01:43 |
| adub | i figured it out | 01:43 |
| Aginor | adub: have you heard of the distributed botnets that try to guess and bruteforce ssh passwords for common usernames, including root? :) | 01:43 |
| kwtm | adub: Okay, on the man page, it says Client access may be more finely tuned via the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file (see below) and the PermitRootLogin server option. | 01:43 |
| Aginor | adub: for ssh security, I'd strongly recommend that you only allow ssh key logins | 01:44 |
| kwtm | adub: If you are going to permit root logins, I strongly recommend you don't allow password logins, and also not to use the default port of 22. Try 22222 or something greater than 1024. | 01:44 |
| kwtm | adub: Yeah, what Aginor said. | 01:44 |
| schnuffle | kwtm: security by obscurity doesn't work | 01:45 |
| kwtm | KM0201: Does WinSCP allow terminal access? I haven't used Windows for a long time but I didn't know that it did. I think it's only a file manager. | 01:45 |
| schnuffle | kwtm: maybe it leans up your logs a bit | 01:45 |
| KM0201 | kwtm: honestly, i really don't know... | 01:45 |
| schnuffle | cleans | 01:45 |
| kwtm | schnuffle: ?? Sorry, I don't understand the context. Did you intend your text for someone else? | 01:46 |
| Poshe | schnuffle: I can't seem to be able to find the file actually, in local/bin. there's only a local/share | 01:46 |
| KM0201 | kwtm: but logic says if you use the proper terminal command, you should be able to use terminal; | 01:46 |
| JeroenzKlompz | oi, maybe someone has a link to a how-to/tutorial how to install these tar.gz in lucid 10.04? http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter. bit confused bout the things i find. thx ;) | 01:46 |
| ggomez | wedwo- Thanks !!!!!!! | 01:46 |
| schnuffle | kwtm: the suggestion to move the ssh port | 01:46 |
| adub | got it thanks guys | 01:46 |
| wedwo- | ggomez, come back and tell if it works | 01:46 |
| curtmack | So, I put together a new computer, and as a result I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. However, after 30 minutes or so of uptime, the mouse and keyboard simultaneously freeze. | 01:47 |
| xangua | JeroenzKlompz: the new gdm no longer supports that kind of themes | 01:47 |
| curtmack | The rest of the system runs fine after this, however | 01:47 |
| kwtm | KM0201: I think the this Windows GUI program is supposed to make it easy for the type of person who typically uses a Windows system. I know there's Putty for Windows, too, but that doesn't have a file manager capability. | 01:47 |
| JeroenzKlompz | xangua, :( | 01:47 |
| ggomez | wedwo- It works !!!!! | 01:47 |
| Poshe | is sdcc not actually the compiler? | 01:48 |
| wedwo- | happy | 01:48 |
| JeroenzKlompz | xangua, where can i check for those stuff these days | 01:48 |
| === Braindead is now known as Guest58272 | ||
| kwtm | schnuffle: Oh! I see what you are referring to. You're right that changing the port won't prevent an attack, but I think it decreases the possibility of a drive-by attack since a script-kiddie would need to spend a lot more time port-scanning if they gove above 1024. | 01:48 |
| joe_ | hey is there any dock better than the cairo dock???? | 01:48 |
| xangua | joe_: docky, avant, better¿ who knows | 01:48 |
| joe_ | cairo, i heard, is the best | 01:49 |
| schnuffle | kwtm: thats right, I have some server running with changed ports just to keep my logs clean but even on cchanged ports I get attacks | 01:49 |
| wedwo- | !better | joe_ | 01:49 |
| ubottu | joe_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:49 |
| ipatrol | why is it that when I unmount my hard drive, /proc disappears | 01:50 |
| Aginor | kwtm: having 2222 or 22222 or 222222 as alternative ports for ssh is hardly going to make much of a difference nowadays since they're well established as alternative ports | 01:50 |
| joe_ | thanks ubottu | 01:50 |
| ItsMeMario | hey guys, i've a project that compiles with cmake how can i add a .h to the path ? | 01:50 |
| ipatrol | umount -l /dev/sda0 (using SATA) | 01:50 |
| kwtm | Aginor: well, 222222 won't work. My own ssh port does not contain the digit "2". I don't permit root logins. | 01:50 |
| schnuffle | Poshe: please elaborate on your install steps. | 01:50 |
| Aginor | kwtm: yeah, it's bigger than 65363 | 01:51 |
| Poshe | schnuffle: I don't think it's an actual program... thanks though... | 01:51 |
| Aginor | kwtm: or whatever, minus typos | 01:51 |
| Aginor | ItsMeMario: is it your own project or someone elses? | 01:52 |
| needlez | need a little help with a bash script if someone can help, have tried a few things all with random unfaithful results | 01:53 |
| aeon-ltd | needlez: ask in #bash | 01:53 |
| curtmack | After a while my mouse and keyboard freeze, but the rest of the system functions fine | 01:53 |
| ascheel | Question about networking in Ubuntu Desktop. The service that auto-detects wired/wireless networks is network-manager, is this correct? If so, what process kicks it off? I'm not seeing any entries for it in /etc/rc*.d | 01:53 |
| trism | ascheel: /etc/init/network-manager.conf (it uses upstart) | 01:54 |
| ascheel | trism: upstart doesn't use rc*.d? | 01:55 |
| ipatrol | I'm trying to run gparted because for some reason I have 2 unused gigs at the front of my disc | 01:55 |
| triking | please... I need help | 01:55 |
| ascheel | !ask | triking | 01:55 |
| ubottu | triking: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:55 |
| USS_OHIO | hrmm there a specific graphix setting that would make my GPU thermal temps raise significantly? | 01:55 |
| trism | ascheel: upstart will run the scripts in rc*.d but those are not the primary scripts (the upstart specific ones are in /etc/init/) | 01:56 |
| ChuckBorrus | greppy: you on? | 01:56 |
| ascheel | trism: Thanks a ton. :) | 01:56 |
| ascheel | trism: it's not a typical script. How do I prevent it from executing? Do I need to delete it or is there a way to simply disable it>? | 01:57 |
| triking | Ok. My goal is to use a livecd to boot into an install located on a USB harddisk. In other words, I'm using the livecd as a bootloader because my internal drive is completly toast. Wut do? | 01:57 |
| trism | ascheel: upstart will not run any scripts in that directory that don't end in .conf (I usually move them to .conf-disabled), but if you want to still be able to start them manually, it is probably better to edit the script and add "and never" to the start on line | 01:58 |
| ascheel | trism: exactly what I was looking for. ;) | 01:58 |
| USS_OHIO | can someone help me i need to reduce my graphics or something so my GPU temp will drop to safe levels, i'm currently running 90 degrees C with only network conection and this chat running | 01:58 |
| ascheel | USS_OHIO: failing video card. | 01:58 |
| triking | I've tried navigating into the partition where the install is located and running init 1 as root.. but it brings me back into a recovery console and reloads the livecd filesystem | 01:58 |
| ascheel | USS_OHIO: fan probably dead, perhaps no heat sink compound. Hardware failure in other words | 01:59 |
| ascheel | triking: most modern computers can boot to USB drives | 01:59 |
| ascheel | triking: a live CD such as the Ubuntu installation CD should have full USB capabilities to access any of the data you need | 01:59 |
| triking | my bios is dumb and has no option for booting | 01:59 |
| USS_OHIO | i'm on a lap top, i opened it up to check for dust and likeness, but it's clean, and fan works fine | 02:00 |
| triking | Access isn't my problem. I just want to switch the kernel from the livecd one to the one installed on my usb device. | 02:00 |
| needlez | ok, got a question can someone help me with writting a script in here cuz the ppl in bash are like jerks about tring to ask a simple question | 02:00 |
| USS_OHIO | i only have this problem when i'm on ubuntu | 02:00 |
| USS_OHIO | works fine with windows | 02:00 |
| schnuffle | needlez: paste your script | 02:00 |
| ascheel | USS_OHIO: no graphics card should go that hot. If it does, it has problems. | 02:01 |
| triking | USS_OHIO... maybe the linux tool is reporting bogus numbers? | 02:01 |
| needlez | schnuffle: totem & | 02:01 |
| needlez | sleep 7200; killall totem;sudo pm-suspend | 02:01 |
| ascheel | there's also that what triking said | 02:01 |
| needlez | the sudo pm-suspend doesnt work, it prompts for password so it wont work, want the computer to shutdown or go into sleep mode after totem exits | 02:01 |
| USS_OHIO | hrmmm, well it's kinda scary cause i've hit 103 degrees before and the laptop was to hot to handle | 02:01 |
| schnuffle | and where i your problem? | 02:02 |
| schnuffle | !pastebin | needlez | 02:02 |
| ubottu | needlez: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:02 |
| triking | anyway, is there a way to jump from the livecd kernel (and its temporary filesystem) to the kernel on the usb device? | 02:02 |
| USS_OHIO | and it's only done this when i'm in ubuntu | 02:03 |
| needlez | schnuffle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555613/ | 02:03 |
| ascheel | USS_OHIO: no graphics card should get that hot. If it does, there ARE hardware issues. | 02:03 |
| ascheel | I'm not saying there might be, I'm saying there ARE | 02:03 |
| schnuffle | needlez: and the problem? | 02:03 |
| ItsMeMario | hey guys, i've a project that compiles with cmake how can i add a .h to the path ? | 02:03 |
| ascheel | full throttle going balls to the wall, your video card shouldn't go that high IMO | 02:03 |
| needlez | problem is sudo pm-suspend doesnt work want a command to shutdown the computer that wont require me to be in sudo cuz this script is an autorun script so that i can run it and totem will open then play a movie then close then the computer will shutdown/ sleep | 02:04 |
| rtdos | 2 questions: what happened to xdm and is there a desktop similar to the one on MacOS? | 02:04 |
| schnuffle | needlez: sudo takes a password, that won't work in batch mode | 02:05 |
| ascheel | needlez: create a c wrapper and use SETUID on it to execute as root even though you're not root | 02:05 |
| needlez | isn't there like a way to just run a shutdown command which doesnt require root priv?? | 02:06 |
| needlez | like shutdown -h or something?? | 02:06 |
| ascheel | shutdown and reboot both require root privs. | 02:06 |
| ascheel | needlez: I'm telling you how to do it. c wrapper with SETUID | 02:06 |
| rtdos | you could probably write a script that passes the value | 02:06 |
| needlez | ascheel: have no idea about cwrapper at all? please explain or give example | 02:07 |
| ascheel | needlez: do you know what SETUID is? | 02:07 |
| needlez | ascheel: nope | 02:07 |
| shmup | Any LoL players in here, that actually managed getting it to run with Wine? | 02:07 |
| shmup | I'd love to chat with you one on one. :x | 02:07 |
| rtdos | LoL shump? | 02:08 |
| shmup | league of legends | 02:08 |
| shmup | the league players would know what i meant, so i just went with the acronym ._. | 02:08 |
| rtdos | haven't tried it YET maybe i should. | 02:08 |
| shmup | well, it definitely causes problems | 02:08 |
| rtdos | ^-^ | 02:08 |
| curtmack | Problem: My keyboard and mouse freeze after a while. However, the rest of the system continues to run. Can anyone help? | 02:08 |
| shmup | but you should give it a shot | 02:09 |
| shmup | then report back to me :D | 02:09 |
| rtdos | i will shump thanks. :D | 02:09 |
| ascheel | needlez: when you run a program, it executes as your user. Setting the SETUID bit will force the program to run as whoever owns it | 02:09 |
| needlez | ascheel: ok? | 02:09 |
| ascheel | needlez: so if root owns it and SETUID is enabled, then ANYBODY that executes the program will execute it as though they are root | 02:09 |
| ascheel | needlez: you cannot do it with scripts because Linux doesn't allow it, but C programs will work. A c wrapper is a small program written in c that has the sole purpose of executing a command | 02:09 |
| yshi | Does anyone have any strong opinions on which is better, ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10? | 02:10 |
| ascheel | needlez: because it's a binary program and not a script, you can turn on SETUID. I have one set up. Getting you an example | 02:10 |
| needlez | ascheel: ok | 02:10 |
| ascheel | needlez: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555616/ | 02:11 |
| ascheel | create a c program with that, compile it, then do this: sudo chown root: /path/to/shutdown/program && sudo chmod 4755 /path/to/shutdown/program | 02:11 |
| ascheel | needlez: do not ever ever set an execution line in a c wrapper to execute a script. Ever. | 02:12 |
| needlez | ascheel: my script works perfectly, the only issue is that sudo pm-suspend sometimes requires password but other times it doesn't that really all i need to figure out, but thank you for the idea with the c wrapper | 02:12 |
| triking | I'm still not sure how to solve my problem. How does one boot ubuntu from ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| schnuffle | needlez: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part4/section-7.html | 02:12 |
| schnuffle | needlez: another option is to configure sudo that the user can execute the script without password | 02:13 |
| quentusrex | Anyone know how to remove the 'S' permission bit: drw-r-Sr-- | 02:13 |
| sympt0m | what's the best virtualpc package for ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| wedwo- | triking, http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html | 02:13 |
| quentusrex | I tried to change the /etc/bind/ directory to 664 from 644 | 02:13 |
| ascheel | schnuffle: good idea, I forgot about being able to set up sudo to do that | 02:13 |
| quentusrex | and now bind can't start because it doesn't have sudo permissions | 02:13 |
| triking | the latest version of plop couldn't detect my usb device | 02:13 |
| sam-_- | !best | sympt0m | 02:14 |
| ubottu | sympt0m: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:14 |
| triking | or are you saying use plop within the livecd session? | 02:14 |
| elik | Is there a Colin Law around? | 02:14 |
| needlez | thank you both schnuffle and ascheel: i figured it out, seems that it will run the script without need for password if ive already ran sudo once since ive logged on but if i dont run at least one sudo command then itll prompt for it, so i guess just a little hiccup right now | 02:15 |
| triking | wedwo- I could burn a cd with plop, but I would prefer not to. The livecd has all the features I need just in case something else goes wrong | 02:15 |
| ascheel | needlez: incorrect bud. There's a timeout to the sudo password requirement. It's only about 5 minutes or so by default. | 02:15 |
| wedwo- | triking, use plop to boot from usb (is what I'm saying) | 02:15 |
| triking | wedwo- and when I installed plop on the internal disk (before I fucked it up), it couldn't detect the device | 02:16 |
| triking | wedwo- :( | 02:16 |
| IdleOne | !language | triking | 02:16 |
| ubottu | triking: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 02:16 |
| rvn | speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher [ OK ] | 02:16 |
| wedwo- | triking, but if plop can't see your usb you're about out of luck | 02:16 |
| rvn | this line is holding up boot for a long while at each boot on my aspire one d250 | 02:16 |
| needlez | ascheel: ahh ok,that explains why it works with a 10 value but not a 7200 value... i guess i can change sudo to not require a password | 02:16 |
| rvn | assistance? | 02:16 |
| rvn | explanation? | 02:16 |
| triking | wedwo- so its not possible in a fully booted livecd to simply start up the boot process on another device!? | 02:17 |
| ascheel | needlez: you the ONLY person that has access to that machine? | 02:17 |
| needlez | yes | 02:17 |
| triking | wedwo- because the livecd DEFINITELY detects the external disk and whatnot | 02:17 |
| rvn | in fact it's not booting at all right now | 02:17 |
| rvn | it's stuck at that. | 02:17 |
| ascheel | k, but be very very careful because that can be a HUGE security hole if anybody has access to it | 02:17 |
| needlez | ascheel: umm, kk, maybe then i can just give the program before root permisson to run and then it wouldnt ask for password would it?? | 02:18 |
| needlez | so it be sudo su then totem | 02:19 |
| wedwo- | triking, AFAIK if your BIOS cannot boot from the USB then it won't boot from the USB. Others may know of some way to coax it but I don't | 02:19 |
| siganderson | where can I download the 2.6.38-rc1 kernel sources? | 02:19 |
| ascheel | needlez: let's create a c wrapper like I showed you. | 02:19 |
| rvn | triking: using a floppy drive you can do it | 02:19 |
| rvn | triking: a usb one if you don't have one on hand | 02:19 |
| rvn | though a machine that can't boot usb probably can't boot usb floppy | 02:19 |
| xangua | siganderson: in the linux kernel webpage | 02:19 |
| meshuggah | grub.... | 02:19 |
| triking | wedwo- well it was my understanding that the bios simply scans the first sector of detected devices for the stage 1 bootloader | 02:20 |
| ascheel | needlez: create a text file, name it 'takeitdown.c' and add this AND ONLY THIS as the contents of the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555616/ | 02:20 |
| schnuffle | needlez: in /etc/sudoers add a line: <user> ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/binary | 02:20 |
| ascheel | needlez: tell me when you've done that | 02:20 |
| needlez | ascheel: kk i think ill try that | 02:20 |
| triking | rvn its a laptop so floppy is not an option | 02:20 |
| ascheel | needlez: trust me, it's crazy easy. | 02:20 |
| rvn | triking: well you can't say that like a laptop CANT have a floppy drive, i own many that do, but yes i see your point - CD then? | 02:20 |
| siganderson | xangua, I don't see voices for that version | 02:20 |
| rvn | triking: there are floppy images out there explicitly to enable USB booting, particularly for puppy linux several years back, and you can make a CD with a floppy image boot | 02:21 |
| triking | rvn cd is good. The livecd runs great on it | 02:21 |
| elik | Is there anyone with good knowledge of xorg and video drivers (and possibly ACPI) to help me resolve an issue where my laptop screen goes blank when I close the screen, but never comes back on | 02:21 |
| rvn | triking: if you can find that image and create a CD version of it you can boot to that and chainboot to the USB | 02:21 |
| wedwo- | triking, yes, correct, and if the USB device is not detected by BIOS then it won't see any boot sector | 02:21 |
| rvn | wedwo-: he was speaking with me. | 02:21 |
| rvn | can anybody tell my why 10.10 is failing to boot on my aspire one d250 at "speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher [ OK ]", when the live version worked and allowed me to install it | 02:22 |
| rvn | (it said the same thing but eventually booted) | 02:22 |
| ascheel | rvn: see if that's the REAL cause by looking at 'dmesg' or perhaps syslog | 02:22 |
| rvn | ascheel: i have no access to the machine.. | 02:22 |
| curtmack | Problem: My keyboard and mouse freeze after a while. However, the rest of the system continues to run. Can anyone help? | 02:22 |
| rvn | ascheel: it won't boot! | 02:22 |
| rvn | >.> | 02:22 |
| rvn | ascheel: i have rebooted it in the hopes that it is a one time occurence.. | 02:23 |
| ascheel | rvn: sorry then I won't be much help to you | 02:23 |
| rvn | ascheel: it displayed a totally different (graphical) boot screen and worked... | 02:23 |
| triking | rvn, wedwo- my question is since the livecd session already detects the device (and hence has access to the kernel image and initrd in /usb/boot) then how can I coax the LIVECD to boot | 02:23 |
| rvn | ascheel: no idea. | 02:23 |
| elik | rvn: did you try to ctrl-c it? access a tty (ctrl-alt-f1) | 02:23 |
| meshuggah | wedwo, i succeed to boot on usb.... | 02:23 |
| triking | rvn, wedo- if you type initrd in bash its says 'command not found' | 02:23 |
| rvn | triking: do it from the grub prompt, don't go all the way into the livecd session - i don't know how to do this but i know it can be done - boot command, but it needs parameters to do what u want | 02:24 |
| needlez | ascheel: kk done | 02:24 |
| rvn | elik: moot, i rebooted and it booted normally, i am unsure why it tried to boot strangely and failed. | 02:24 |
| triking | rvn I can't use grub I don't think, not from the internal drive at least (its toast) | 02:24 |
| rvn | triking: all live linux devices use grub | 02:24 |
| ascheel | needles. ok, type this: gcc takeitdown.c -o takeitdown | 02:24 |
| ascheel | needlez: that will create the actual c program that does the shutdown | 02:24 |
| rvn | triking: so if you're booting via a live cd, do that but when it says grub: _ don't hit enter or let it time out | 02:24 |
| elik | rvn: gotta love those one time hickups | 02:25 |
| rvn | (well, not all use grub, but most) | 02:25 |
| meshuggah | copy vmlinuz and initrd to internal hd /boot somewhere | 02:25 |
| rvn | elik: yes quite frustrating ;p | 02:25 |
| meshuggah | modify grub | 02:25 |
| wedwo- | meshuggah, some (older) computers don't have the ability to boot from usb | 02:25 |
| meshuggah | and? | 02:25 |
| rvn | triking: you could also use the live boot to install grub to the hard drive in the device | 02:25 |
| triking | rvn well I'm sitting with a terminal open.. is it grub legacy or grub-pc? | 02:25 |
| rvn | triking: if you don't mean literally toast | 02:25 |
| elik | rvn: and it doesn't let you investigate the matter either. Never know when it will spring on you. Like, when you'll reboot the machine via ssh :) | 02:25 |
| meshuggah | grub will do the trick | 02:25 |
| meshuggah | copy vmlinuz and initrd | 02:25 |
| rvn | triking: you miss my point, a grub prompt, not grub itself | 02:25 |
| triking | rvn that wouldn't work... | 02:25 |
| needlez | ascheel: kk | 02:26 |
| triking | rvn ok, whats the command to bring up the prompt? | 02:26 |
| rvn | triking: it's not a command | 02:26 |
| rvn | triking: when you start to boot the live cd you will see "boot:" prompt | 02:26 |
| rvn | triking: at that prompt you will type a boot command | 02:26 |
| triking | rvn yes | 02:26 |
| rvn | triking: that will access the USB | 02:26 |
| ascheel | needlez: type this. The full thing: sudo chown root: takeitdown && sudo chmod 4755 takeitdown | 02:26 |
| meshuggah | i boot from internal hd | 02:26 |
| meshuggah | who boot after to usb | 02:26 |
| rvn | triking: trouble is i'm not terribly familiar with the options, so i don't know how to do it off the top of my ehad | 02:27 |
| rvn | triking: but it will be the "boot" command | 02:27 |
| rvn | triking: with some parameters | 02:27 |
| rvn | triking: if you look it up you should find what you need to know | 02:27 |
| ascheel | needlez: that first sets the owner and group to 'root' then sets the permissions to SETUID (4) so it executes as though it's root, then 755 so ONLY root has write access to the program meaning nobody but root can modify it opening a security hole | 02:27 |
| rvn | triking: i must go, apologies. | 02:27 |
| triking | rvn I don't know how to tell the boot: that it should use the usb device | 02:27 |
| triking | ahh fudge he left | 02:27 |
| elik | Is there anyone with good knowledge of xorg and video drivers (and possibly ACPI) to help me resolve an issue where my laptop screen goes blank when I close the screen, but never comes back on | 02:28 |
| needlez | ascheel: returning error | 02:28 |
| Gnea | elik: does closing it put the system to sleep or hibernation? | 02:28 |
| elik | Gnea: no | 02:28 |
| Gnea | elik: why not? | 02:28 |
| ascheel | needlez: sent you a PM | 02:29 |
| elik | Gnea: because I don't want it to, and the option is set not to | 02:29 |
| Gnea | elik: so it should basically just blank the screen, and unblank upon opening, right? | 02:29 |
| elik | Gnea: it is interesting to note that if I do ask it to sleep on lid close, the screen comes back on correctly | 02:29 |
| elik | Gnea: indeed | 02:29 |
| elik | Gnea: I love how you put basically there :) | 02:29 |
| Gnea | elik: quite interesting, indeed. what make/model is the laptop? | 02:30 |

| wedwo- | ghost_, do you still have the live CD? | 02:39 |
| Gnea | elik: from an ubuntu-standpoint, it sounds like you're on the right path... it sounds to me like there is a communications issue between the thinkpad hardware and the operating system, still. It may be prudent to see if anyone else has encountered or solved this issue with another distribution (fedora?) | 02:39 |

| wedwo- | ghost_, if you get the opportunity you can fire up the liveCD and get to your windows files that way. I have no idea how to get into root.disk | 02:41 |

I've rebuild their Ubuntu server, running *only* SSH, Samba & Webmin, and *nothing* else. load it pretty good, so now I'm trying to find other possible causes or remedies (I've set aio r&w | 03:09 |
| powe | rvn: well I make install it - so I assume it is installed | 03:09 |
| woodyjlw | can anyone explain to me what the difference is between ubuntu and xubuntu ? | 03:09 |
| rvn | powe: should be - i'd investigate that though, sounds like the point of failure to me. | 03:10 |
| elik | Gnea: well, on that previous post, I found something in the intel card video state | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: xubuntu runs xfce, instead of gnome(which ubuntu runs) | 03:10 |
| rvn | powe: try testing the file in the end compile directory vs the one in the system | 03:10 |
| rvn | powe: verify that they're the same | 03:10 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, xfce is just different desktop environment like kde or something then? | 03:11 |
| bencahill | hey guys, what is a good app for showing stuff (like widgets) on the desktop? | 03:11 |
| ratcheer | woodyjlw: Different desktop environments, Gnome vs xfce | 03:11 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: yes, it's a big easier on the resources | 03:11 |
| KM0201 | *bit | 03:11 |
| xangua | bencahill: gdesklets | 03:11 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: how much ram do you have? | 03:11 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, 1 gig | 03:12 |
| sensae | Hello. I've used grub-mkconfig to generate a /boot/grub/menu.lst, but on boot grub ignores this file | 03:12 |
| bencahill | xangua: could I configure that to show under the gnome top panel (transparent) ? | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: honestly, 1gig.. i would just run the regular gnome... | 03:12 |
| === adamkex_ is now known as adamkex | ||
| powe | rvn: they are the same :x I check /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 vs /build-tree/i386-i686/libc.so | 03:13 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, thanks. maybe I will try it in vbox and see if I like the interface | 03:13 |
| rvn | powe: then there's a problem in the compile process apparently, because your changes aren't propogating - that or they didn't make a functional difference. | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: thats always a good thing to do also... if your'e looking for "light"(which is really what xfce is for)... i'd also give Lubuntu a try | 03:13 |

| woodyjlw | KM0201, wow how many other ubuntu distros are there? | 03:14 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, and a few "unofficial" ports... | 03:14 |
| jodo | zbcjt hLguu | 03:14 |
| === jodo is now known as jPuff | ||
| smw | woodyjlw, if you count unofficial ones, it is uncountable. | 03:15 |
| woodyjlw | lol | 03:15 |
| jPuff | sorry that was a mistype confused dvorak with qwerty | 03:15 |
| powe | rvn: strange, I delete many lines (which shouldn't create an error), it compiles fine - and I don't think there is a compiler optimization going on .. really weird | 03:15 |
| KM0201 | smw: lol | 03:15 |
| smw | woodyjlw, KM0201 forgot edubuntu! | 03:15 |
| KM0201 | smw: indeed i did...! | 03:15 |
| woodyjlw | I will stick with official ones for now | 03:15 |
| acoustyk_ | I'm running xubuntu on my netbook but I wish I used lubuntu | 03:15 |
| bencahill | !info gdesklets-data | 03:15 |
| ubottu | Package gdesklets-data does not exist in maverick | 03:16 |
| bencahill | !info gdesklets | 03:16 |
| acoustyk_ | it's still lagging a little bit | 03:16 |
| ubottu | gdesklets (source: gdesklets): Architecture for desktop applets. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.36.1-4 (maverick), package size 2802 kB, installed size 5776 kB | 03:16 |
| jPuff | hooray its working :D | 03:16 |
| rvn | powe: i'm afraid my capacity to help you ends here, as I don't like C/C++ and thus have never completed learning it - hope i helped, though. :) | 03:16 |
| smw | woodyjlw, KM0201, and is gnewsense "official" | 03:16 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: there's a few distros out there that think they can do ubuntu, better than canonical... | 03:16 |
| KM0201 | smw: i have no idea on gnewsense | 03:16 |
| powe | rvn: no problem, thanks | 03:16 |
| acoustyk_ | Has the "speed-up" script that was added a while back been implemented into ubuntu yet? | 03:16 |
| jPuff | how do i expand my repositories? | 03:16 |
| rvn | jPuff: u mean add more? | 03:17 |
| smw | !repo | 03:17 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 03:17 |
| rvn | jPuff: there's a GUI method of doing it, but personally i do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and add them that way | 03:17 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, well ubuntu is very addictive and since I first tried 7.04 I cant seem to put it down and every time I think ubuntu cant get better a new one comes out and I have to try it out | 03:18 |
| rvn | is there a way to tell ubuntu to remember my password for my keyring? i don't need my passwords protected from myself | 03:18 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: yeah... i like Ubuntu... i've moved on from it, but if you're trying to 'learn' linux, or you just want one you don't really have to mess w/.. you're on the right track | 03:19 |
| purpzey | Could someone possibly give me some guidance with compiling a program using apache ant...I believe something is awry with my build.xml but I am pretty much lost... | 03:19 |
| rvn | KM0201: i learned with SuSE (long before ubuntu existed) myself, but i'd think linux mint is a bit easier to nubs than ubuntu itself | 03:19 |
| rvn | KM0201: depending on whether you're using it as your daily system | 03:19 |
| smw | woodyjlw, that is how I feel about ubuntu. And I have used many of them over a decade :-). | 03:19 |
| rvn | KM0201: while learning | 03:20 |
| KM0201 | rvn: i'm not a huge fan of Mint, but i really fail to see hiow it's any easier than Ubuntu... it's more or less the same thing, just a different GUI. | 03:20 |
| Aginor | purpzey: talk to me in private and I might be able to help you | 03:21 |
| mamasboy | ubuntu has more help online | 03:21 |
| rvn | KM0201: no it includes a multitude of applications and packages for various tasks, including non-free, to make the transition a bit easier from windows to linux for daily use without knowing how to rectify things yourself | 03:21 |
| rollman | didn't linux mint spun off ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, yes I am still learning linux and got much to learn still and ubuntu has made it easy for people who dont know linux or are scared of it to experience linux with out sink or swim and I have come to learn that ubuntu is just the tip of the ice berg for how powerfull and fun the linux world can be | 03:21 |
| acoustyk_ | how do I check my kernel version? | 03:21 |
| === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere | ||
| rvn | KM0201: ex. official ATI/NVIDIA drivers and flash are at your fingertips, etc. | 03:21 |
| bazhang | acoustyk_, uname -r | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | rvn: i dunno, flash takes 30sec to install on ubuntu, and Nvidia drivers... i just use the restricted driver, and its no problem. | 03:22 |
| rvn | KM0201: if you're technical already it's not a big difference, but if you're a total noob, it can help | 03:22 |
| rvn | KM0201: someone like me, and from what i understand you, wouldnt take much effort to adjust | 03:22 |
| rvn | KM0201: but someone who can barely install crap on windows might find it much easier | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | rvn: right | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | lol | 03:22 |
| ghost_ | How can i get the install software store into a exe file so i can use it next time on other new install ubuntu. | 03:22 |
| rvn | what...?-----^ | 03:23 |
| bazhang | ghost_, never mind the exe | 03:23 |
| ghost_ | deb or | 03:23 |
| KM0201 | rollman: yes it did... for the longest time, it even used ubuntu kernels, software repositories, etc.. but that has since changed.. and they do their own thing.. but it's still heavily based on ubuntu | 03:23 |
| rvn | ghost_: ok wait, so you mean a list of the currently installed software? | 03:23 |
| bazhang | ghost_, it comes with the software store | 03:23 |
| ghost_ | yes | 03:23 |
| bazhang | ghost_, or you want a clone | 03:23 |
| ghost_ | I know but i don't wannt to redownload | 03:23 |
| ghost_ | them | 03:23 |
| rollman | thought so | 03:23 |
| wedwo- | !aptoncd | ghost_ | 03:23 |
| ubottu | ghost_: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 03:23 |
| bazhang | ghost_, use aptoncd | 03:24 |
| ghost_ | Would that create a iso ? | 03:24 |
| rvn | KM0201: for the record, after hooking up wired ethernet and doing a software update it fixed my wifi connecting problem - just in case you run into that with someone else | 03:24 |
| rvn | KM0201: im out of here now, bai | 03:24 |
| ghost_ | So i can mount and install via by mounting into ubuntu? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | ghost_, no, is that what you want? | 03:24 |
| wedwo- | ghost_, no, it creates a repository | 03:25 |
| bazhang | ghost_, a kind of installable iso? | 03:25 |
| acoustyk_ | is there a way to manually upgrade the kernel to 2.6.38? | 03:25 |
| bazhang | ghost_, aptoncd is handy because its a cd that serves as a repo to install from | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | acoustyk_: find a ppa, or compile | 03:25 |
| ghost_ | Nice . This comes very handy :) | 03:25 |
| bencahill | hey guys, I'm trying to install gdesklets, but there is no gdesklets-data package. :-? | 03:25 |
| ghost_ | thanks | 03:25 |
| bazhang | acoustyk_, of course, but expect breakage,and no support here | 03:25 |
| rollman | only linux i would recommend to anyone is ubuntu, SuSe, and if redhat wasn't a mostly pay linux box i would suggest redhat but not anymore | 03:26 |
| bencahill | rollman: fedora? | 03:26 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, I thought ubuntu gnome was already a light weight os without all the bells and whistles of kde. had no idea it gets any simpler than this but I guess if your running older hardware it comes in handy to use less resources | 03:26 |
| vitalius | I got a new vidiya card, with HDMI output and now ubuntu loads both, Nvidia sound card + onboard one and neither of them work. Is there a way to disable Nvidia's sound card? | 03:26 |
| KM0201 | woodyjlw: yup... andif you're on something really ancient, google "crunchbang linux"... :) | 03:27 |
| Gryllida | what package is for the en language - I have locale issues, what would I reinstall? | 03:27 |
| breadcrumb | jo | 03:27 |
| Gryllida | en-language-* or something | 03:27 |
| woodyjlw | KM0201, ok lol | 03:27 |
| bazhang | KM0201, no need for that, lxde and openbox are in the repos, he can install lubuntu-desktop | 03:27 |
| rollman | fedora i heard alot about it but not for me | 03:27 |
| bazhang | KM0201, which is supported here, while crunchbang is NOT | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | acoustyk_: http://geekfiles.altervista.org/en/arrivano-i-pacchetti-deb-del-kernel-2-6-36-con-la-%E2%80%9Cpatch-miracolosa%E2%80%9D-per-ubuntu-maverick-a-32-bit/ | 03:28 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: i've never had any luck installing openbox 'beside' gnome or ubuntu. | 03:28 |
| bazhang | KM0201, lubuntu-desktop takes care of that | 03:28 |
| trism | Gryllida: check-language-support -l en --show-installed; will show you | 03:28 |
| mamasboy | if u wanna something light try linux puppy... or u're techgeek, try tinycorelinux | 03:28 |
| KM0201 | i wish there was an official openbox spin of ubuntu... | 03:28 |
| bazhang | mamasboy, off topic here | 03:28 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: i think openbox is lighter than lxde.. | 03:28 |
| === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy | ||
| ghost_ | Love the add-ons on software center | 03:29 |
| bazhang | KM0201, they are together, not in competition | 03:29 |
| mamasboy | watever | 03:29 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: dunno.. openbox has always seemed faster to me. | 03:29 |
| bazhang | lxde + openbox | 03:29 |
| smw | KM0201, bazhang, lxml contains openbox | 03:29 |
| smw | lxde* | 03:29 |
| ice799 | Hi there. I have set up a apt repository for some packages I am working on. I have the repository listed in my sources.list but when I try to apt-get update I see "Failed to fetch ... binary-amd64/Packages.bz2" | 03:29 |
| smw | lol | 03:29 |
| bazhang | mamasboy, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat | 03:29 |
| ice799 | there is no Packages.bz2, but there is a Packages.gz | 03:29 |
| acovrig | If I use mail (I think its mailutils) to send an email, how do i reply to it (send email to an @gmail address, get it, reply, but I get no reply in ubuntu) | 03:29 |
| mamasboy | cool | 03:29 |
| ice799 | any idea where I can tell apt to look for Packages.gz instead? | 03:30 |
| bazhang | ice799, apt-mirror? | 03:30 |
| Chrystopher | hello peeps | 03:30 |
| ice799 | bazhang: what? | 03:30 |

| Noob_ | can you hear me? | 03:31 |

| bazhang | Noob_, yes | 03:31 |
| Noob_ | hello>>> | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | akagi82: if you have a current install you can use the old netbook interface in that | 03:31 |
| Noob_ | oh ok lol | 03:31 |
| Chrystopher | can anybody give me a hand with ubuntu srv 10.10 install issues ? in pm | 03:31 |
| Noob_ | i am noob if you have not noticed | 03:31 |
| ice799 | apt thinks my custom repository has a Packages.bz2 but it doesn't. I need to tell apt to ask the repository for Packages.gz instead. | 03:31 |
| bazhang | Chrystopher, ask here | 03:31 |
| akagi82 | i dont have an old install | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Chrystopher: ask in the channel, more eyes == more likely to get an answer | 03:32 |
| ice799 | bazhang: its just a repository with 2 custom packages I am workign on | 03:32 |
| bazhang | ice799, put it in a PPA then | 03:32 |
| acoustyk_ | I'd like to try the "miracle code" | 03:32 |
| akagi82 | i can't install 10.10 on my netbook | 03:32 |

| triking | so I ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda and let it run for a min or two... and now gparted can't partition it | 03:32 |
| Noob_ | can anyone help me get internet on ubuntu | 03:33 |
| Chrystopher | hem ok wow i definitely though ti was in the channel | 03:33 |
| Chrystopher | it's been a while | 03:33 |
| psusi | triking, define "can't partition it" | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Noob_: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 03:33 |
| ice799 | bazhang: nah I don't need that either. | 03:33 |
| akagi82 | yeah, apparently it's a specific problem to do with the lenovo 10-3 | 03:33 |
| Noob_ | i dont know | 03:33 |
| Noob_ | why? | 03:33 |
| FireSam | is there a fix for the headphones jack not working? I found a few threads in the forums but either it didn't help or i got lost... | 03:33 |
| ice799 | I need to figure out why at thinks there is a Packages.bz2 when there isn't. | 03:33 |
| bazhang | Noob_, in terminal type ifconfig | 03:33 |
| smw | what is a good program for taking pictures of a window on the desktop? | 03:33 |
| ice799 | Even the Release file in the repository says "Packages.gz" | 03:33 |
| Noob_ | to test it i have to reboot to ubuntu then try it and if it doesnt work i have to reboot all the way back lol | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Noob_: because you may have a connection, but DNS failing. pinging a known good IP on the web will show if this is the case | 03:33 |
| Noob_ | what do i do after ifconfig | 03:33 |
| triking | psusi it's unable to create a partition table, specifically. The disk utility says it does not support Smart data.. which I know is not true | 03:33 |
| akagi82 | apparently it is possible but I've tried for days and couldnt get it to work | 03:34 |
| bazhang | Noob_, wired or wireless | 03:34 |
| triking | psusi I'm think I may have messed up its factory formatting or something :O | 03:34 |
| Noob_ | either one | 03:34 |
| Noob_ | i have the option to both | 03:34 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: youcan't get wired or wireless? | 03:34 |
| akagi82 | tried out opensuse but my wifi card isn't supported either | 03:34 |
| Noob_ | i have wireless and wired | 03:34 |
| Noob_ | but i cant connect to either | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Noob_: if you run: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb; lspci copy the text to a removable device make a pastebin in a web enabled system to give us here | 03:35 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: ugh... that'll be fun. | 03:35 |
| ratcheer | smw: Take Screenshot in the Accessories menu | 03:35 |
| elik | Gnea: I installed debuging tools for intel (xserver-something-intel-dbg), and dumped the register. I really feel like there is something to that VGACNTRL thing... | 03:35 |
| smw | ratcheer, I need one that gives me only one window | 03:35 |
| akagi82 | basically I can't have a copy of linux on my damn netbook, it's useless | 03:35 |
| smw | ratcheer, nm, thank | 03:35 |
| Noob_ | ok so first i ping 8.8.8.8 then im looking for what exactly? | 03:35 |
| ratcheer | smw: It has that option | 03:35 |
| bazhang | Noob_, in ifconfig do you see eth0 | 03:35 |
| Noob_ | im in windows right now | 03:36 |
| Noob_ | i have to reboot to try it | 03:36 |
| Chrystopher | hem this will sound noob (terribly embarassed but i def. need help) how can I make sure i'm in the global channel ? | 03:36 |
| Noob_ | then reboot when i fail and have to try again | 03:36 |
| Noob_ | go on the internet | 03:36 |
| bazhang | Noob_, there is zero chance of troubleshooting then | 03:36 |
| trinidad | I need help here my browers seem to love to randomly close does anyone know how to fix that issue | 03:36 |
| Chrystopher | nvm got it | 03:36 |
| Noob_ | what do you mean? | 03:36 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: do you have a laptop or something ou can bring in front of the machine, while it's booted in ubuntu, to talk to us? | 03:36 |
| Chrystopher | I've been trying to install ubuntu srv 10.10 32bits | 03:37 |
| Chrystopher | and i'm stuck at install | 03:37 |
| Noob_ | no, i installed it on my laptop is that the problem? | 03:37 |
| Chrystopher | on phase select and isntall software | 03:37 |
| Noob_ | remember i am a noob | 03:37 |
| Chrystopher | hangs at 5% | 03:37 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: do you have a normal computer | 03:37 |
| Noob_ | yea but my sister is using it | 03:37 |
| Noob_ | and its a shitty imac | 03:37 |
| kwtm | Noob_: Bring the laptop to a library or other computer. Is it possible? Any other desktops at home? etc. | 03:37 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: well, what kind of pc it is, is irrelevant... when it's available.. come here on it... and then boot ubuntu on your laptop and we can help you trouble shoot it. | 03:38 |
| kwtm | Noob_: Shitty imacs are fine for talking to us on IRC while you troubleshoot your Amazing Ubuntu. | 03:38 |
| Noob_ | i dont think i can even get here on the imac | 03:38 |
| Noob_ | wait let me try | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: yes you can | 03:38 |
| Chrystopher | anybody has an idea ? | 03:38 |
| elik | Gnea: I'd love to manually reenable that thing and see if the screen comes back on, I feel like there is soemthing to it | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | Noob_: http://webchat.freenode.net/ | 03:39 |
| KM0201 | that'll work on any browser w/ java | 03:39 |
| Noob_ | alright alright | 03:39 |
| Chrystopher | i tried to follow : http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=12259 but it didn't work | 03:39 |
| kwtm | hmm... kind of unusual that Noob_ can't get on with wired... | 03:39 |
| Chrystopher | as even aptitude is not recognized | 03:39 |
| KM0201 | kwtm: yeah, it is.. but it does happen from time to time | 03:40 |
| ratcheer | Chrystopher: What media are you installing from? | 03:40 |
| Chrystopher | usb key | 03:40 |
| xangua | Chrystopher: for debian help join #debian | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Noob_: run the command, copy the text and make a text file and make it accessible to windows then paste it online so we can see it | 03:40 |
| Chrystopher | joined debian thanks | 03:41 |

| noob_ | depends on who you are comparing me with | 03:59 |
| bazhang | noob_, open a terminal, type sudo dhclient eth0 (with ethernet cable plugged in) and paste.ubuntu.com the output | 04:00 |
| noob_ | ok give me a sec | 04:00 |
| jook | noob_, I had a similar problem once. I solved it by running a network cable to the laptop from my router and getting updates. wireless drivers came then | 04:00 |
| sparrow_ | that was what i was typeing | 04:01 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: not gonna work, his ethernet device doesn't work w/ ubuntu... it's rpetty well discussed n several forum pages... | 04:01 |

| jPuff | it works in windows ._. | 04:02 |
| bazhang | KM0201, which model | 04:02 |
| bazhang | jPuff, rar archive? which kind? | 04:02 |
| jook | KM0201, oh, that's gonna be harder then. I figured wired internet would go. | 04:02 |
| jPuff | a .rar i guess | 04:02 |
| jPuff | are there multiple types of .rar archives? | 04:02 |
| noob_ | yea but jook i cant even get it to connect with an ethernet cable | 04:02 |
| KM0201 | atheros ar8151 there's apparently some files you can download to get it working... but he doesn't pay enough attention, and i'm not ripping my hair out to explain it | 04:02 |
| bazhang | jPuff, install rar and unrar then | 04:02 |
| rtdos | 2 questions: what happened to xdm and is there a desktop similar to the one on MacOS? | 04:02 |

| bazhang | noob_, paste.ubuntu.com the output of lspci and give us the url | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: you do realize h can't do that, right?... hes' gonna have to get a thumb drive and copy/paste it to that, and then move it to the mac and pastebin it | 04:04 |
| KM0201 | i tried explaining this to him, but he goes wandering off talking to others | 04:04 |
| noob_ | you mean put lspci paste.ubuntu.com in terminal? | 04:04 |
| bazhang | KM0201, I'm well aware, thanks | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: ok.. | 04:05 |

| noob_ | it looks like an incomplete sentence | 04:05 |
| KM0201 | jook: it's cool, like i said, i found the fix, but i'm not gonna mess w/ trying to explain it | 04:05 |

| bazhang | noob_, you are online now. | 04:10 |
| jook | you will have to put it in a text file on a thumb drive or something, bring it to this computer, and go to the website | 04:10 |
| KM0201 | noob_: since you apparently need this spelled out... do you have a thumb drive? | 04:10 |
| noob_ | i cant copy and paste it to a different computer | 04:10 |
| noob_ | i dont know what a thumb drive is | 04:10 |

| noob_ | why should i upload it to the website | 04:12 |
| jook | noob, that will tell the people who know whats up, how to help you | 04:12 |
| bazhang | noob_, so we can troubleshoot your internet issues | 04:12 |
| KM0201 | jook: probably cuz grub didn't install properly. | 04:12 |
| bazhang | jook, it cant find the boot sectore | 04:12 |
| rollman | sorry this is hilarious | 04:12 |
| jook | KM0201, what can I do about it? I just got this problem when I installed updates | 04:12 |

| KM0201 | jook: id boot the live cd and restore grub... | 04:13 |
| KM0201 | !grub | jook | 04:13 |
| ubottu | jook: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 04:13 |
| myradlife_ | Looking at my gnome-system monitor, I see constant upstream network activity on my computer. How can I find out what is requesting data/ where I'm sending data? | 04:13 |
| bazhang | grub2 actually | 04:13 |
| elik | bazhang: I mean, he realized it himself, not that I want to add on top of the other | 04:13 |
| jook | !grub2 | 04:13 |

| jook | thanks KM0201, bazhang. I'll check there. | 04:14 |
| KM0201 | jook: follow the instructions to "restore grub"... even though i'm assuming you didn't lose it after intalling windows | 04:14 |
| Aginor | myradlife_: netstat -l for a brief list | 04:14 |
| draven_sol_ | any recommended duplicate mp3 file tools for ubuntu? | 04:14 |
| ejv | draven_sol_: elaborate | 04:14 |
| jook | no KM0201, it's been solid dual-booting for a long time. Just decided to die after updates. | 04:14 |
| Aginor | myradlife_: you can also experiment with wireshark to dump the network traffic and examine it | 04:14 |
| KM0201 | jook: hmm, not really sure what woul cause that | 04:14 |
| doug9 | I | 04:15 |
| draven_sol_ | ejv tools/scripts to find and give an option to remove mp3 files which are duplicates of themselves in other directories | 04:15 |
| jook | I have a lucid disk here. I'll try using that. Should be fine, even though I have Maverick installed, right? | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jook: sure | 04:15 |
| noob_ | ok i put it on the flash drive | 04:15 |
| noob_ | getting it on the shitty imac | 04:15 |
| myradlife_ | Aginor, I have a apache and ssh servers running, and I have ~100kB/s constant upstream | 04:16 |
| draven_sol_ | ejv, nevermind i just found that elaborate is the tool name | 04:16 |
| KM0201 | noob_: we can live w/o your colorful adjectives | 04:16 |
| bazhang | noob_, watch the language | 04:16 |
| noob_ | oh yea i keep forgetting | 04:16 |
| noob_ | i keep thinking this is 4chan | 04:16 |
| noob_ | LOL | 04:16 |
| noob_ | just kidding guys | 04:16 |
| ejv | draven_sol_: nice! in the future always ask your questions like someone asked you to clarify ;) | 04:16 |
| Aginor | myradlife_: so it might be people downloading things from your web server :) | 04:16 |
| KM0201 | noob_: if it was 4chan, you'd already be banned for being dense... so that should remind you | 04:16 |
| Aginor | myradlife_: netstat -l will list all of your active network connections | 04:16 |
| ejv | draven_sol_: saves everyone time, and gets you help quicker. being super specific isn't a crime here :) | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | noob_: the more you type worthless stuff in the channel, the longer it will take to get you fixed | 04:17 |
| jook | !grub2 | 04:17 |
| elik | noob_: and the more people will get tired of helping you, so it's sort of exponential | 04:17 |
| jook | !grub2 | jook | 04:17 |
| ubottu | jook, please see my private message | 04:17 |
| shcherbak | Aginor: rather -e (established) than -l (listen) also iftop | 04:17 |
| KM0201 | jook: "/msg ubottu grub2" and it will PM the output to you. | 04:18 |
| Aginor | shcherbak: you're completely right | 04:18 |
| shcherbak | myradlife_: rather netstat -tuep (established) than -tulp (listen) also iftop | 04:18 |
| jook | yeah, I got that after it worked. Thanks though, KM0201 I will try next time | 04:18 |
| Aginor | myradlife_: do netstat -e, like shcherbak says | 04:18 |
| shcherbak | myradlife_: and ngrep... | 04:18 |

| schwinn434 | I tried to boot my Ubuntu 10.10 machine today; wouldn't boot until I booted using the previous kernel version (grub menu option to use previous kernel) of linux | 04:21 |
| econdudeawesome | Hey all! Is there any benefit to installing (recompiling kernel? Not sure of the exact method) the most recent Nvidia driver as opposed to what is in the repos? | 04:21 |
| schwinn434 | Should I just keep booting using the previous kernel? | 04:21 |
| schwinn434 | it works okay - as far as I can tell | 04:21 |
| jook | schwinn434, what's the command for that? Looks like the problem I'm having too, and it might help | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !info nvidia-current | 04:22 |
| ubottu | nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 260.19.06-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 25690 kB, installed size 76364 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 04:22 |
| schwinn434 | it was an option under grub | 04:22 |
| KM0201 | jook: do you see your grub menu?... you should see your old kernels in the grub menu | 04:22 |
| econdudeawesome | schwinn434: I had to do that for a real old computer of mine because they no longer supported the video chipset in the kernel for that specific computer. I can't remember the process I had to go through--but I complained enough that it got into another channel and to the developer. | 04:22 |
| jook | KM0201, no. Just that command prompt. I don't know what to do with it. | 04:22 |
| myradlife_ | Aginor, shcherbak , please look at this: seems alarming to have ssh connections as ROOT http://pastebin.com/cjkwivJv | 04:22 |
| schwinn434 | don't know the command line : Jook | 04:23 |
| KM0201 | jook: i would continue w/ trying to reinstall grub2 | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | econdudeawesome: the difference in versioning is minimal | 04:23 |
| jook | ok, no worries schwinn434 | 04:23 |
| econdudeawesome | schwinn434: moral of the story--someone here can direct you to the right channel for the developers, but I'm not sure what it is | 04:23 |
| schwinn434 | my computer is a pentium 4 | 04:23 |
| schwinn434 | not really that old, I don't think | 04:23 |
| jook | KM0201, I'm stuck at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub#Overwriting the Master Boot Record | 04:23 |
| schwinn434 | econdudeawesome: thx for the tip | 04:23 |
| econdudeawesome | schwinn434: mine was too. It's the video chipset, not the processor, that was the problem. Not sure of the specifics--you can check the logs | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jook: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html | 04:23 |
| jook | wow, that link didnt work at all. But you can see which step anyway. The tail message doesnt give me anything useful because im in live cd | 04:24 |

| cryptodira | ActionParsnip: 10.04 only was reference to 'no other OS' just ubuntu .. the satellite is A660D | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | vdubbugman53: run: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb websearch for the identifiers of the device, the USB 8 character hex ID will be very useful | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptodira: ok let me see what's what. I'm betting you'll need to disable acpi, but we'll see | 04:38 |
| MTecknology | So.. somehow Firefox keeps reporting my default language is Romanian but the only language I know is English. It seems that it was fine up until 11.04. Any ideas why that would be happening? | 04:39 |

| jook | What's going on here? When I get to the unount commands from here http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html it says command not found | 04:57 |
| rusty149 | alpha7: Are you trying to use a CD as apt source? | 04:58 |
| qazeqaz | thank you :D | 04:58 |
| dotblank | qazeqaz, tar files are not like exe or other programs on windows.. tar file is analogous to a zip file.. sometimes they hold executable files and sometimes 9more often then not) they hold the source code and requires the program to be compiled | 04:58 |
| Leif | dotblank, Okay, I got it to work. It looks like I needed to install pango, or aspell, or both. Either way, thank you | 04:58 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, It is strongly recommended that you use programs in the repos first and other programs only if you must | 04:59 |
| dotblank | Leif, you didn't have pango installed??? yikes | 04:59 |
| rusty149 | jook: it is umount, not unount | 04:59 |
| noob_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/555655/ | 04:59 |
| noob_ | there it is guys | 04:59 |
| jook | rusty149, I didn't spell it wrong in the terminal window | 05:00 |
| qazeqaz | repos? im extremely new to this ive been using ubuntu 10.10 for 2 days now and my greatest achivement (lmao) is pianobar :D haha | 05:00 |
| Leif | dotblank, Joy, what does pango do? | 05:00 |
| MTecknology | noob_: atheros.... yippy | 05:00 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, the ubuntu software center, or synaptic (lower level) are your window into the repos. | 05:00 |
| noob_ | so what are you guys looking for?? | 05:01 |
| valros | why does brasero announce a successful burn then continue to create another image checksum for another 40 minutes? | 05:01 |
| qazeqaz | ahh I see | 05:01 |
| dotblank | Leif, a lot it used as a rendering toolkit used by gtk methinks | 05:01 |
| MTecknology | noob_: give me a minute | 05:01 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, repos (repositories) or big store-houses (servers) on the internet that hold programs that are all open source and safe to use in one place. | 05:01 |
| dotblank | and alot others | 05:01 |
| MTecknology | noob_: oh ya.. what version? | 05:01 |
| vdubbugman53 | looking for some help getting WUSB600Nv2 to work on my x64 10.04 | 05:01 |
| rusty149 | jook: That isn't the best way to recover/reinstall GRUB2 | 05:01 |
| noob_ | what version of what | 05:01 |
| dotblank | MTecknology, he also has a broadcom device | 05:01 |
| MTecknology | ubuntu | 05:01 |
| Leif | dotblank, I inadvertantly purged java from my system a few weeks back, it removed some prety core libraries, I've been suffering ever since. (But have been learning quite a bit in the meantime, which is why I haven't just reinstalled) | 05:01 |
| noob_ | 10.04 | 05:01 |
| Leif | dotblank, Anyway, thank you | 05:01 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, It allows you to keep the entire system, every app, up to date using just the update manager (provided you only install stuff from the repos) there are 20,000 packages in the repos | 05:01 |
| jook | rusty149, if you have a better idea, I'm open to it. My grub jsut freaked out when i installed updates, and now it doesnt load my OS list when I boot. I jsut get a grub> terminal | 05:02 |
| === james is now known as Guest99330 | ||
| qazeqaz | so how come a lot more applications are not in the repo? | 05:02 |
| dotblank | Leif, well you could alsways check to make sure you ahve the ubuntu-desktop metapackage installed | 05:02 |
| MTecknology | noob_: can you check the restricted driver manager; I think it's somewhere around System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers | 05:02 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, ? There are a ton of them in there | 05:02 |
| dotblank | Leif, if that package is gone then you removed a core component of ubuntu | 05:02 |
| noob_ | i only see hardware drivers | 05:03 |
| Leif | dotblank, Mmm...good idea | 05:03 |
| noob_ | no restricted | 05:03 |
| qazeqaz | I know there are a lot in there just some games and stuff ive been looking at isnt there | 05:03 |
| MTecknology | noob_: yup- that's it | 05:03 |
| MTecknology | noob_: check it and see if it suggests any drivers | 05:03 |
| Leif | dotblank, Yup, it's gone, but at least it will only take me 25 MB to download it all, so I must have most of it back, thank you. :) | 05:03 |
| noob_ | says downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be avilable | 05:03 |
| MTecknology | lol... there's that | 05:04 |
| Leif | dotblank, And now it's downloaded. :) | 05:04 |
| MTecknology | noob_: what kind of system? | 05:04 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, not everything is in there. As to why, probably because A it isn't open source or B the developers didn't submit it | 05:04 |
| noob_ | you mean what kind of laptop? Acer | 05:04 |
| MTecknology | noob_: more details? | 05:04 |
| qazeqaz | How do I make my text a different color in this and how did you guys learn so much about linux?! | 05:04 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, Some developers don't care if it's in the Ubuntu or Debian repos I guess | 05:05 |
| noob_ | aspire timelinex 4820T | 05:05 |
| cryptodira | ActionParsnip: no joy ... microphone does not work...with the sound recorder, i just get open circuit noise on playback... suggestions? | 05:05 |
| MTecknology | aight | 05:05 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, I learned from using and reading and messing with stuff | 05:05 |
| cfedde | qazeqaz: years of reading and playing. | 05:05 |
| === Newa2 is now known as NewaWrk | ||
| noob_ | 4820T-7633 | 05:05 |
| MTecknology | noob_: give me a few minutes to do some learning | 05:05 |
| noob_ | alright | 05:05 |
| dotblank | noob_, have you tried ifconfig -a | 05:05 |
| rusty149 | jook: Best to do a reboot of LiveCD first, don't need to use chroot. 1. Mount Linux as decribed, e.g sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 2. sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda 3. sudo umount /mnt && sudo reboot | 05:05 |
| noob_ | nope | 05:05 |
| dotblank | noob_, How are you psating your outputs | 05:05 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, It's probably just some setting in your irc client. settings -> preferences -> colors if you're using xchat like I am | 05:05 |
| qazeqaz | nice, hope I can pick up on it fast, is SUSE linux a lot different then ubuntu?? | 05:05 |
| jook | rusty149, my linux partition is sdc2. How does that affect the commands? | 05:06 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, also if you start your sentences with my name (like I'm doing for you) it will color it for me | 05:06 |
| noob_ | psating my outputs?? | 05:06 |
| Craigwell | i have a dell d620. after a fresh reinstall of 10.04, my screen will not come back on if i close the lid. ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing | 05:06 |
| dotblank | pasting* | 05:06 |
| Craigwell | anyone have an idea where i can start ? | 05:06 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, It's different in some ways but similar in others. | 05:06 |
| qazeqaz | yea im in xchat but i cant make my color yellow, i can just change everybody elses txt color | 05:06 |
| noob_ | i put it in the openoffice, copy it to flash drive, load it on to shitty imac | 05:06 |
| MTecknology | dotblank: it's a driver issue; I'm gonne need to do some looking around for him | 05:06 |
| noob_ | dang forgot about language again | 05:06 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, it is possible going to sleep | 05:06 |

| dotblank | Craigwell, or going into hibernate | 05:06 |
| rusty149 | jook: 1. sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt 2. sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdc 3. sudo umount /mnt && sudo reboot | 05:06 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, IDK about the colors. Just mess with the gui settings! :P | 05:07 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, you can disable the behaviour in the power menu | 05:07 |
| MTecknology | IdleOne: You saw that he already caught himself, right? | 05:07 |
| Craigwell | no, all hd activity and such remains, just the screen blanks and i cannot get it to come back | 05:07 |
| IdleOne | MTecknology: I didn't. | 05:07 |
| qazeqaz | lol ok how do i dirrect message you guys like you are to me? | 05:07 |
| bazhang | MTecknology, hes done it about 5 times | 05:07 |
| valros | why does brasero seem to burn the image twice? | 05:07 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, start the message with my name. | 05:07 |
| jook | rusty149, I can just enter those directly from a terminal in live CD, or do I still do the other steps first? | 05:07 |
| IdleOne | MTecknology: what bazhang said | 05:07 |
| Craigwell | power management only set to blank screen | 05:07 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, odd.. have you tried using alt+printscrn+k | 05:07 |
| noob_ | im sorry!!! | 05:08 |
| Craigwell | dotblank, no, what is that function? | 05:08 |
| Scorpion_ | Hello. I have an issue with a downloaded torrent on XP, PLZ HELP | 05:08 |
| qazeqaz | edbian ok thanks a lot | 05:08 |
| MTecknology | noob_: don't worry about it; but the next time you do it I'm guessing you'll get the boot. ;) | 05:08 |
| edbian | Scorpion_, Is it ubuntu related | 05:08 |
| qazeqaz | lmao | 05:08 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, it uses the hardware keyboard interupt to kill the current session | 05:08 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, quite welcome. I love linux! | 05:08 |
| noob_ | lol alright | 05:08 |
| bazhang | Scorpion_, offtopic here | 05:08 |
| vdubbugman53 | i cant get my WUSB600Nv2 to play nice with 10.04 anybody help me figure out what is goin on. i have the drivers and have tried to install | 05:08 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, its not the most safe thing tho | 05:08 |
| rusty149 | jook: Yeah just from live cd. Don't know about your current environment after chrooting, so advise to reboot. Then when you are back in Linux after GRUB is fixed just run, sudo update-grub2 | 05:09 |
| === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| Craigwell | i can get the system to reboot when in the blank screen symptom by ctrl alt del, | 05:09 |
| Craigwell | but ctrl alt f1 does nothing, nor f7 | 05:09 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, ok thats kinda odd | 05:09 |
| jook | gotcha. Thanks, rusty149 I will try that | 05:09 |
| noob_ | alright well ill paste ifconfig -a then | 05:09 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest86096 | ||
| dotblank | Craigwell, I would reboot and check the kernel logs in /var/log | 05:10 |
| Craigwell | it was fine just before reinstalling 10.04 to replace a bad drive (i restored my /home dir which was on its own partiton) | 05:10 |
| qazeqaz | edbian, I am really liking this a lot its kind of always what I wanted PS is my text coming in right? | 05:10 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, yeah, you're doing it right. Linux is awesome :) | 05:10 |
| Craigwell | which log in particular, dotblank? | 05:10 |
| edbian | qazeqaz, any more questions? | 05:10 |
| dotblank | Craigwell, well there are lots.. perhaps it would be easier to use the log file viewer | 05:11 |

| linuxman410 | every time i try to make a usb image it says com32 image not found what is problem | 05:13 |
| synackfin | no, I'm not trying to bridge networks, share ips or anything - it's just a simple program that forward one tcp/udp port to another ip (like ssh port forwarding) but without encryption | 05:14 |
| noob_ | out of a poll i heard linux users are far more angry | 05:14 |

| dotblank | !ufw | 05:15 |

| chaospsychex | LOL minecraft | 05:16 |
| dotblank | watch* | 05:16 |
| synackfin | dotblank: no it wasn't a firewall set up; it was a ridiculously simple program, it was a userspace daemon (iptools/ufw require root) | 05:16 |

| glassresistor | it seems like all f-spot can do is import them | 05:17 |

| ActionParsnip | Pharanac: not currently possible | 05:22 |
| qazeqaz | netflix i mean | 05:22 |

| edbian | qazeqaz, They're not blocking it. They're just not taking the time to develop for it | 05:22 |
| dotblank | qazeqaz, its because of the windows play ready DRM and mono | 05:22 |

| ActionParsnip | vdubbugman53: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZLEZRgWIOc just use the driver for your adapter | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jPuff: mplayer does that by default | 05:24 |
| jPuff | nm the default had an option for repeat :D | 05:24 |

| MTecknology | ActionParsnip: 'most' ubuntu members on irc have an ubuntu/member hostmask so you can see by /whois <nick> | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: remove both so you have no flash plugins then install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:26 |
| glassresistor | so no ipod touch on linux advice in here, any ideas of another channel with more options? | 05:26 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: I have already tried that | 05:26 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: I cannot locate any "adobe-flashplugin" | 05:26 |
| dotblank | ActionParsnip, I would like to apply for one soon. Did you get it based off your IRC contributions? | 05:26 |
| NOBLE | i have ubuntu 10.10 how can i install a printer lexmark x2695???? | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: i believe thats the package when you go to the adobe site and grab the deb there, all you need is flashplugin-nonfree and it will work (or you can manually install or use the 64bit PPA if you use 64bit OS) | 05:27 |
| zetheroo | NOBLE: is it plugged in and turned on? | 05:27 |
| dotblank | NOBLE, did you try using the printers utility? | 05:27 |

| myradlife_ | What is the meaning of this line in my /var/log/auth.log ? Jan 18 15:37:20 SlackServer sshd[23116]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for pcp022204pcs.dhcp.calpoly.edu [129.65.132.216] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! | 05:31 |
| dotblank | NOBLE, have you tried checking the open printing database for your printer | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MTecknology: i'd be #1 but martinP contributes a lot to a space program (if i remember right) and he gets karma from that. He even admits it feels like cheating :D | 05:31 |
| edbian | Airglow, Can you re-phrase that? | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | NOBLE: you're missing the point | 05:31 |
| Airglow | ok edbian , let me do it better | 05:31 |
| greppy | myradlife_: it means that it could not confirm that the forward and reverse dns matched. | 05:31 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ok thanks ... I downloaded the .deb and tried to install it ... but probably due to something I messed up it won't install :( | 05:32 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Did you ssh into your machine from calpoly.edu ? | 05:32 |
| NOBLE | yes i open it and is not in the data base some one know if with an other drive can work? | 05:32 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, yes I did | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: if your packages aren't square then you should fix that first | 05:32 |
| MTecknology | ActionParsnip: Yup, he even had a bug open about that once. | 05:32 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Then it's probably safe (and was just you) | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | MTecknology: HA, dude that's hilarious | 05:32 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: is there a way to fix broken packages or whatever is messed up? | 05:33 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: I tried looking around in Synaptic but could not locate any repairing feature | 05:33 |
| myradlife_ | greppy, edbian I had a similar line, let me show you from TEXAS earlier today | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: can you give a pastebin of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano thanks | 05:33 |
| MTecknology | ActionParsnip: not only that- but they felt it was accurate and karma calculations were adjusted otherwise he'd be many miles ahead | 05:34 |
| MTecknology | ActionParsnip: there was something else he was doing that gave waaay too much to your karma | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | MTecknology: little bit, as long as folks enjoy the OS then I'm happy. Karma imho just helps with membership applications | 05:34 |
| edbian | myradlife_, forward DNS lookup means finding the IP address of a domain name, reverse DNS means looking up the domain name of an IP address. Sometimes people spoof (which means write some nonsense IP in the packet headers) so that they can try to log into your machine without you knowing where it really came from. This would result in a mis-matching forward / reverse dns | 05:34 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ok well that installed nano without a hitch | 05:34 |
| edbian | myradlife_, But since you have logged in from that domain I find it very unlikely someone is spoofing. That would mean they randomly choose an address (out of billions) that coincidentally you are actually using | 05:35 |
| myradlife_ | http://pastebin.com/hv5QrHkD | 05:35 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: did you still want a pastebin of that even though there were no issues? | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: if the 3 commands went flawlessly then the packages are ok. You should remove adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-* so you have no flash then use the deb or ppa from the omgubuntu link | 05:35 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Oh, no | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: if all is well then the paste isn't necessary :) | 05:35 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Now that I see this file someone is definitely trying to guess user names and passwords for your ssh server. See the invalid user root stuff all over? | 05:36 |
| w1n5ton0 | What archive format has the best time/compression ratio? | 05:36 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, yes i do | 05:36 |
| edbian | myradlife_, yeah someone is trying to log in as root and guess the password | 05:36 |
| chris05 | Hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu off of my usb, but everytime I try to advance past the second window it crashes telling me that the parted server is unresponsive or something :x | 05:36 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, so this happened today around 5 a.m. | 05:36 |
| MTecknology | ActionParsnip: does it really even help with that; I think they're 'supposed to' look at what contributed to that karma more than the number (i think they do a pretty good job of that) I used to think it was fun when I had a whole lot; but now I contribute in other areas that don't add to karma much and it's less exciting to watch it chance | 05:36 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: when trying to remove adobe-flashplugin I get : Virtual packages like 'adobe-flashplugin' can't be removed | 05:36 |
| myradlife_ | I got on my computer at 8:00 p.m., and it had a ton of ssh connections open and the network traffic was huge on upload | 05:37 |
| edbian | myradlife_, eventually they will get the password. It might take them 75 years but they will get it. Also many other people will start attacking too. It's very annoying. They're called script kiddies because they know how to run this silly script that brute forces ssh servers but they don't know much of anything else presumably | 05:37 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Did someone actually get it? That's really bad | 05:37 |
| dotblank | Ive never really cared about karma.. I did get some for uploading packages to my ppa and filing a bug.. thats about it | 05:37 |
| edbian | myradlife_, According to the file the root account is locked on ssh so they didn't log in as root. | 05:38 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, I'm trying to find out, I think this might tell you something http://pastebin.com/cjkwivJv | 05:38 |
| edbian | myradlife_, well, that looks like a tcp dump? I'm not familiar enough with it but it def seems that root is establishing a connection. | 05:39 |
| hsa2 | hello | 05:39 |
| edbian | myradlife_, However if they actually logged in as root (or at all) over ssh you'd see it in /var/log/auth.log and it's not in there from what I can see | 05:39 |
| hsa2 | i installed 11.04 daily beta from usb disk, but my grub was gone | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !natty | hsa2 | 05:40 |
| ubottu | hsa2: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. | 05:40 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, i'm looking through my auth.log to see if they in fact did that, is there an easy way to search this? | 05:40 |
| hsa2 | oops, sorry | 05:40 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: when trying to install flash from the PPA http://pastebin.com/MDrRspJb | 05:40 |
| Airglow | hi, can anyone tell me the last name of packages added to ubuntu 10.10 to update the security updates? | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer | 05:41 |
| edbian | myradlife_, cat /var/log/auth.log | grep Accepted | 05:41 |
| edbian | myradlife_, That command will show all the lines from the log file that contain the word 'Accepted' which the ssh daemon prints when someone logs in successfully | 05:42 |

| edbian | myradlife_, how's it going? | 05:44 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, so here's something that's complicating my search: I have two computers that I have cronjobs to rsync into this server. One is at calpoly.edu and one is my laptop that's usually on the same LAN. I have them set (stupidly) to login every minute. | 05:44 |
| Airglow | edbian can you tell me which are the last packages of security updates added to ubuntu 10.10 ? | 05:45 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/yEfzgkcQ | 05:45 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: Virtual packages like 'adobe-flashplugin' can't be removed ??? huh? | 05:45 |
| theTrav_ | hey, I think ssh is using the proxy-server I've set up in ubuntu. Is there a way for me to tell it to not use a proxy, without messing up the proxy config I've got for all my other apps? | 05:45 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, I'm not sure what to do, because I have a ton of accepted logins from an IP that seems to be the calpoly.edu ip, but how do i know if that's my campus computer logging in for rsync or an attack? | 05:46 |
| rww | Airglow: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-January/thread.html | 05:46 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ok guys im stuck.. i was told the other day the wl driver im using might be my wifi problem... im trying to find otu on the other hand how im supposed to get my wifi working on this del mini.. is this just not an option?? | 05:46 |
| rww | Airglow: so... libdbus-1-3 | 05:46 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i had to install the current setup via ubuntu walkthroughs and my usb drive cuz it was installed on a work network .. now that im home should i do something different? | 05:46 |
| edbian | Airglow, just run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade and you'll be up to date my friend | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: weird, i'd just force install /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin64-installer_10.3.162.29-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb then | 05:47 |
| edbian | myradlife_, The user | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin64-installer_10.3.162.29-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb | 05:47 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Do any of the Accepteds not have your username in them? | 05:47 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ok that worked | 05:48 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, no they all have my username none say root | 05:48 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: is there a way to "test" it? | 05:48 |
| edbian | myradlife_, then you're good my friend. Nobody has logged in. | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: close all browsers and then visit a page like http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 | 05:48 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Might want to turn them off for a bit to be extra sure though. However it is clear that someone (unsuccessfully) is trying to log into your machine via ssh | 05:49 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Not a surprise, I have the same problem with my ssh server | 05:49 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: hehe ... ok it's playing in Chromium but not in FF4 | 05:49 |
| vanc_ | hi guys , i just got a clevo X7200 and i installed ubuntu 10.04 and the sound doesnt work, i followed the howto on ubuntu support ended up installing the latest version of alsa still nothing. then i tried installing 10.10 just incase that would make it work nothing i cant think what else to do here ....any ideas ? its an HDA intel card but it does show 2 versions of it one with an nvida which i think is the HDMI sound out | 05:49 |
| dotblank | vanc_, Have you tried using speaker-test | 05:50 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, GOOD! Is there an explanation for why my computer was showing upstream network activity of ~100KB/s (constant) before I stopped SSH? | 05:50 |
| vanc_ | yes no sound comes out | 05:50 |
| edbian | myradlife_, I have no idea about that | 05:50 |
| dotblank | vanc_, can you verify the device is not muted in alsa-mixer | 05:50 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, as soon as i stopped SSH and then ended all my SSH processes, the network activity stopped | 05:51 |
| vanc_ | yes unmuted and tried to select both devices as out put | 05:51 |
| edbian | myradlife_, well perhaps it was just the ssh server responding to these log in requests | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: ok then run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins | 05:51 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: shoot ... that was wierd ... I closed and reopened FF and now I am back at using FF3.6 :P | 05:52 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: FF4 is gone - loll | 05:52 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, okay. is there anything I should do to prevent this or add security? | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: then run: sudo find -iname "flashplugin.so" then copy the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 05:52 |
| edbian | myradlife_, thought you'd never ask! check this out: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: should do it, i've not used firefox in many moons | 05:53 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ok thanks ... you a Opera user? | 05:53 |
| edbian | myradlife_, Also, you could but your ssh server on a different port (e.g. 23, or 2222) | 05:53 |

| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: nice | 05:54 |
| Cpt_Zyph | when i sent my dmesg to someone the other day they said the wifi adapter im using is prob the cause of my random lock ups... not sure how ever what to do to fix this | 05:54 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, instead of the default port? That makes sense, I guess, since the default is the port people will try guessing? | 05:55 |
| edbian | myradlife_, yeah | 05:55 |
| edbian | myradlife_, script kiddies.... | 05:55 |
| myradlife_ | edbian, thank you much for the help! | 05:55 |
| edbian | myradlife_, no problem :) | 05:55 |
| vanc_ | dotblanc , yes all plugged in . sound works in windows | 05:56 |

| iRabbit_ | anyone know the valid URL to install CPSKins on a Ubuntu 10.10 box? | 05:56 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: is there still something broken in the system? | 05:56 |
| dotblank | vanc_, just had to check.. does dmesg give any errors relating to snd-hda-intel | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: just means it ignores file conflicts and architectures, basically it copies the files from the package and runs the postinst as best it can | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: doubtful, try reinstalling nano. If it's ok then you are fine (I use nano as it's a small high level package) | 05:57 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ok thanks once again for your help ;) | 05:58 |

| open | is there any truth to that? | 06:48 |
| open | like arch | 06:48 |
| elik | open: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/11/25/1336203/slashdot.sourceforge.net | 06:51 |
| chaospsychex | what is a rolling release? | 06:51 |
| elik | chaospsychex: as far as I know, netsplit happen when two Freenode lose connection, so you can't see people connected to the other server, and vice versa | 06:52 |
| chaospsychex | ahhhh | 06:52 |
| elik | chaospsychex: basically, you don't go from 10.4 to 10.10, to 11.4, etc | 06:52 |
| elik | chaospsychex: it's just one big continuum | 06:53 |
| chaospsychex | ? wow | 06:53 |
| elik | chaospsychex: programs get released as they are ready | 06:53 |
| chaospsychex | elik i dont understand | 06:53 |

| christhecoolboy | e.g: games for kongregate | 08:52 |
| Zaca12 | and now since the first harddrive has been mounted, can i check and make sure which file system it is because i need to actually replicate these drives exactly. I am trying to make a copy between the two | 08:53 |

| dgx | Hey all, a friend of mine has his own page hosted on ubuntu server. And he has some kind of hidden adds, when you enter the page. Can you give me some advice on how to fix this ? | 09:17 |
| Zaca12 | yes i'll just have to time it and see how it goes | 09:17 |
| Diverdude | q_a_z_steve, yeah, which one is good? | 09:17 |
| q_a_z_steve | Diverdude or wait, you said virtual machine? just sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 09:17 |
| Zaca12 | just wondering if it'll take the whole night or what :) haha | 09:18 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: ah y. never got why that was wrong. you didn't care to explain it either. you just said: "=1" | 09:18 |
| FxIII | any idea on how to move grub from a disk to another? | 09:18 |
| === dagb_ is now known as dagb | ||
| Diverdude | q_a_z_steve, virtual box does not support mac os | 09:18 |
| hsa2 | any idea for me? | 09:19 |
| rumpe1 | FxIII, dd the first ... 480(?) byte from one drive to the other drive | 09:19 |
| dagb | FxIII: you don't. you reinstall grub | 09:19 |
| q_a_z_steve | dgx have you looked at /var/www/? | 09:19 |
| dgx | Let me check | 09:19 |
| q_a_z_steve | sam-_- no I said -=1 If I'm not mistaken that would be the same as -- but clearer when dealing with your nick | 09:20 |
| q_a_z_steve | Diverdude which are you aiming for VM, or emulation like WINE? | 09:20 |
| mister_m | frogzoo, I can't make heads or tails of it | 09:20 |
| frogzoo | it'll be there in targets:: | 09:21 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: so what does -=1 mean? | 09:21 |
| q_a_z_steve | the opposite of ++ | 09:21 |
| Eagle | Hi All :) | 09:21 |
| ne2k | q_a_z_steve: WINE Is Not an Emulator | 09:21 |
| q_a_z_steve | All says hi | 09:21 |
| q_a_z_steve | ne2k too right, but you know. LIKE it... | 09:21 |
| Diverdude | q_a_z_steve, VM | 09:22 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: i still don't understand | 09:22 |
| mister_m | frogzoo, I think they are listed in the config.km file | 09:22 |
| dgx | No, there is nothing wrong in the /var/www/ | 09:22 |
| mister_m | config.mk | 09:22 |
| q_a_z_steve | Diverdude vmware then | 09:22 |
| ne2k | q_a_z_steve: I always thought that was a pretty stupid distinction. It's an emulation layer, which to your basic computer user is the same thing | 09:22 |
| frogzoo | mister_m: Makefile | 09:22 |
| q_a_z_steve | dgx maybe start with what you mean by "hidden adds" Is his domain being parked? | 09:23 |
| mister_m | frogzoo, there is no targets:: heading that I can see | 09:23 |
| frogzoo | targets := | 09:23 |
| dgx | When you enter the page, a pop-out appears in the tab. | 09:23 |
| frogzoo | mister_m: maybe install := | 09:23 |
| mister_m | frogzoo, http://pastebin.com/Rxwv8G1g | 09:24 |
| ne2k | Diverdude: as far as I know Apple make it very difficult to install their OS on anything that is not genuine Apple hardware. I have heard of it being done, but I believe it's hard | 09:24 |
| ne2k | Diverdude: and not to mention in breach of their license terms | 09:25 |
| ne2k | Diverdude: but, that said, if you can do it on non-Apple real hardware, there's no reason why you can't do it on non-Apple virtual hardware, such as Virtualbox | 09:25 |
| dmex | ne2k: I have osx installed in virtulbox ;) | 09:25 |
| ne2k | dmex: how do you do it? | 09:26 |
| q_a_z_steve | ne2k it's not a distinction at all, it's whineware's (no pun intended) way of trying to say I'm better than that. A way of filling in the gaps where Windows expects a program. Look at www.codeweavers.org some time, those .dlls are IDENTICAL and just copied over and over to their needed names and directories. | 09:26 |
| q_a_z_steve | !who | dgx | 09:26 |
| ubottu | dgx: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 09:26 |
| dmex | ne2k: not legally, you have to get an iso from a torrent site. | 09:26 |
| q_a_z_steve | ne2k I've done it before. dmex there's a whole guide on which to get, and which is easiest not to BORK | 09:27 |
| ne2k | q_a_z_steve: it is a distinction. I remember the early days of WINE when the developers made pains to say that it was not an emulator, because an emulator has a specific technical definition in computer science, and WINE does not meet that definition. | 09:27 |
| dgx | q_a_z_steve: I see, thanks. | 09:27 |
| frogzoo | mister_m: there'll be Makefiles in each of the PDIR directories that do the install.. | 09:27 |
| sam-_- | also afaik newer versions of osx don't work with bios just efi | 09:27 |
| q_a_z_steve | ne2k right, it supercedes that, but at what cost really? Just because I call a few pointers c:\Program Files\ and junk doesn't really add up to anything but a work around in my book. I'm not saying I have any better idea, but it's just sad that MSFT never did learn how to play with the other kids. | 09:29 |
| mister_m | frogzoo, okay/ I didn't think of that | 09:29 |
| q_a_z_steve | sam-_- I've run Tiger in a VM | 09:29 |
| mister_m | frogzoo, is there a way I can avoid this happening in the future? because this is absolutely ridiculous | 09:29 |
| frogzoo | mister_m: don't install from tarballs? | 09:30 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: a vm with efi support? | 09:30 |
| q_a_z_steve | mister_m don't install from sources | 09:30 |
| === hsa2 is now known as zz_hsa2 | ||
| mister_m | ok :/ | 09:30 |
| q_a_z_steve | sam-_- actually I really have no idea whether it was EFI at all. I only learned about that when I dualbooted the mac I'm currently on | 09:30 |
| mister_m | somehting no one ever told me | 09:30 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: it says on wikipedia that tiger was released back in 05 so it's pretty old | 09:31 |
| q_a_z_steve | mister_m always check !packages before running off and trying something on .gz | 09:31 |
| ne2k | q_a_z_steve: I'm not really sure I know what you're talking about. | 09:31 |

Everything still runs but its like the software has shut down, When I move the mouse or try Ctrl, Alt, Del it dose nothing. It has windows 7 installed on it and I need to fix this problem before I can Install Ubuntu, because it won't allow me to reinstall. Any ideas to m | 09:32 |

| q_a_z_steve | ne2k you mean about work-around vs actually getting your code to work in *nix? | 09:32 |
| upsla | ne2k:last try.... :) | 09:32 |
| ne2k | q_a_z_steve: I mean about what you're getting at. All I was saying is that WINE is not, by technical computer science definition, an "emulator" | 09:33 |
| ksinkar | q_a_z_steve: will changing the default shell to bash, make my system unstable? | 09:33 |
| q_a_z_steve | ksinkar no, it's just not the default. What's the end goal here? LFS? | 09:33 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: i don't really see a moral problem if you paid for it. | 09:34 |
| q_a_z_steve | ne2k noted. I don't go much by the CS definition these days. Practice seems to disprove quite a few books, no? | 09:34 |
| ksinkar | q_a_z_steve: no, trying to install code sourcery arm crosstoolchain | 09:34 |

| 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 | 09:49 |

| Bushman | ksinkar: if you have sudo why do you need root's password? :P | 09:50 |
| ne2k | ksinkar: su prompts you for the password for the user you are trying to su to. if you don't supply a username, it assumes root. since root has no password by default, you can't su to it. | 09:50 |

| q_a_z_steve | tapout what torrent client? | 10:06 |
| tapout | utorrent | 10:06 |
| ksinkar | I also dont understand the logic behind DASH except that it speeds up the booting process | 10:06 |
| C3D | sooo question i know you can connect to other computers with lan cards but could you also do the same if you have usb wireless cards and no wireless router? | 10:06 |
| q_a_z_steve | tapout what changed between the last time this worked, and now? | 10:06 |
| ksinkar | C3D: you could try p2p popularly known as adhoc networks | 10:07 |
| tapout | before two weeks is working fine d/u | 10:07 |
| q_a_z_steve | C3D seems like that would be cross network, i.e. via IP | 10:07 |
| Lint | tecnocally I can remove package from STATUS file, but that look like a hack, can there e cleaner way? | 10:07 |
| llutz | ksinkar: dash is "lighter" than bash and POSIX-conform shell . so it gets used more and more | 10:07 |
| tapout | and no firewall use for internet | 10:07 |
| q_a_z_steve | tapout WHAT has changed? | 10:07 |
| ksinkar | llutz: but then scripts dont run on it | 10:07 |
| ksinkar | majority of scripts are written for bash | 10:07 |
| C3D | cool thanks will look into it | 10:07 |
| llutz | ksinkar: they only won't if you use bashisms | 10:07 |
| tapout | i am abling now to download the torrent file but without uploading | 10:08 |
| llutz | ksinkar: and of course, they lack a correct shebang | 10:08 |
| sam-_- | tapout: could be a NAT problem. | 10:08 |
| ndee | how can I set a cronjob so that it never gets logged? I tried following * * * * * /bin/php /myscript.php > /dev/null 2>&1 but it still shows up in the log :/ | 10:08 |
| Lint | torrent can seed even behind NAT | 10:08 |
| q_a_z_steve | Lint that didn't make sense | 10:08 |
| ksinkar | llutz: whats a shebang | 10:08 |
| tapout | no NAT , i am using usb modem | 10:08 |
| Lint | ksinkar, "#!" | 10:08 |
| llutz | ksinkar: the 1st line of a script like "#!/bin/bash" | 10:09 |
| q_a_z_steve | tapout that's the problem, what happened to make it happen? You've got to tell us... | 10:09 |
| ksinkar | ok | 10:09 |
| Lint | q_a_z_steve, what didn't? | 10:09 |
| q_a_z_steve | tapout could be an ISP problem | 10:09 |
| llutz | ksinkar: set it to /bin/bash if using bashisms and you will be ok | 10:09 |

| q_a_z_steve | Lint let me try this again: man dpkg . Then hit the / and type broken. Not sure if it will answer, but it could definitely help | 10:13 |
| sam-_- | blahsphemer: that's pretty bad. seems like some software is missing but even then it shouldn't happen | 10:13 |
| q_a_z_steve | Lint Tor just means harder to track, and you'll notice I advised against it. | 10:13 |

| q_a_z_steve | Rada You can try messing in the compiz-settings trackpad and that cursor are not friends. | 11:06 |
| q_a_z_steve | yudi1 that is an autorefresh after <5 seconds I think, but clicking the FAQ was what I was aiming for. i.e. did it open in a new tab or not. | 11:06 |
| Rada | Ah, there's also the alt+middleclick | 11:07 |
| yudi1 | q_a_z_steve: yes it opened in a new tab, I have it setup that way with TAbmix plus add on | 11:07 |

| bazhang | q_a_z_steve, he does not want to ignore broken packages | 11:13 |
| Lint03 | why apt is bothered withy packages that has no any relation to current operation? | 11:14 |

| asia | mm | 11:16 |
| bazhang | Lint03, its what package managers do | 11:16 |
| Lint03 | i held it, apt doesn't care and want to remove as it's "misses" some library | 11:16 |
| greppy | fartman: I don't have an X11 enabled box with an nvidia card in it atm | 11:16 |

| s3r3n1t7 | vario1, short answer is, you can't. | 11:20 |
| Lint03 | q_a_z_steve, it's small utility package which requires a newer version of a certain library | 11:20 |
| q_a_z_steve | What is it's name??? | 11:20 |
| s3r3n1t7 | vario1, long answer is, unless your connection is slower then the slowest connection, you shouldn't. | 11:20 |
| fartman | greppy: Section "device" -> driver "nvidia" chanfe to "nv" ??? | 11:20 |
| fartman | change | 11:20 |

| sam-_- | GotSanity: change this "< ?php" to this "<?php" | 11:22 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Lint03, and which library does it require and which one do you have, and why can't you upgrade to that library (thereby solving your issue)? | 11:22 |
| greppy | fartman: now you can maybe get the real driver working :) | 11:22 |

| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, you will need a DHCP server on the machine that has an internet connection. This should be in either of the guides somewhere. You can use firestarter if you setup a static IP. | 11:57 |

| q_a_z_steve | neil_d could try adding sudo to the front of your custom command? | 12:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, if you check a bit further in the guide, you will see that it also requires a static IP. You can use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server for it tho. | 12:01 |

| q_a_z_steve | lol | 12:05 |
| sam-_- | neil_d: i think you have to fill in the complete path for this | 12:05 |
| skilz | not 4 or 5 :p | 12:05 |
| sam-_- | neil_d: most likely /usr/bin/rdesk... | 12:06 |
| q_a_z_steve | no, that would earn you flood++ | 12:06 |
| s3r3n1t7 | neil_d, Hmm ... in my opinion it should work, however have you tried to redirect both stdout and stdin to a file? | 12:06 |
| skilz | :) | 12:06 |
| q_a_z_steve | s3r3n1t7 how do I do that??? | 12:06 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, more then 1 line goes to pastebin, that's at least the general rule. Have you done as the error suggested? Checked syslog? | 12:06 |
| skilz | I should really invest in 'real' internet and a router instead of this ICS with mobile broadband | 12:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | q_a_z_steve, wrong nick? | 12:07 |
| skilz | s3r3n1t7, too much stuffing around, might just go but a router tomorrow like it handle the hard work :) | 12:07 |
| q_a_z_steve | s3r3n1t7 no, I have no idea how to pull both at the command line. I want to learn too | 12:07 |

| RootRat | Okay q_a_z_steve I ran lsusb in the terminal What am I looking for? I see Mouse but no Camera | 12:08 |

| Karen_m | which program on ubuntu will send email? I thought maybe /usr/bin/mail or sendmail, but neither are there | 12:08 |
| sam-_- | q_a_z_steve: read: man bash | 12:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sam-_-, i've used commands with parameters before. However, scripts should work. | 12:10 |
| ne2k | Karen_m: you can install an MTA if you want one | 12:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | q_a_z_steve, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html | 12:10 |
| q_a_z_steve | sam well I know one of them comes into play with - but was curious to see the command recommend. | 12:10 |
| Karen_m | ne2k, what should I install? I don't want to receive emails i just want the machien to be able to send me emails | 12:10 |
| ne2k | Karen_m: exim tends to be preferred over sendmail in Debian land | 12:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | neil_d, then perhaps try it? create a small script, add your command, redirect stdout and stderr to a file, and see what's wrong? | 12:11 |
| fartman | greppy: still here? | 12:11 |
| skilz | s3r3n1t7, ok, so Im congiuring my server to use static ip, do I put the ppp0 ip as gateway since it's the net connection | 12:11 |
| Karen_m | ne2k, does exim try and receive emails though? | 12:11 |
| tom___ | hi, i'm testing Natty. Avahi doesn't seem to be assigning my eth0 with a private IP | 12:12 |
| tom___ | any ideas? | 12:12 |
| tom___ | its set to DHCP, I assumed it would time out then self assign | 12:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, the gateway for the second pc (let's call it pc2 for now) will be the first pc (let's call it pc1). | 12:12 |
| ne2k | Karen_m: dma might do what you want | 12:12 |
| skilz | s3r3n1t7, what about the gateway for pc1? | 12:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, pc1's gateway will be assigned via dhcp from the mobile connection. | 12:13 |
| DJones | tom___: Support for natty is in #ubuntu+1 until its released, if you ask your question there, they should be able to help you | 12:13 |
| Karen_m | mailutils! | 12:13 |
| tom___ | ok DJones, I was kinda thinking it was probably just a general config issue | 12:13 |
| tom___ | but I'll ask in there! | 12:13 |
| DJones | tom___: It could be a general issue, but with it only being alpha, probably best to ask there just in case | 12:14 |

| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, only on pc2, the one that does not have the mobile conn. | 12:26 |
| akagi82_ | getting it before any os boots up | 12:27 |
| Juozapas | hi how to install b43-fwcutter? after apt-get install it's still not in additional drivers" section | 12:27 |
| skilz | ohh, so I don't edit resolv.conf on pc1? | 12:27 |
| squig | sam-_-, I cant seem to get the window manger to accept that meta is the movement key though system->preferences->Window->movement key | 12:27 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, indeed | 12:27 |
| squig | do you know how to access the graphical gconf setting tool? | 12:27 |
| fartman | what is the command to run a file with suname .run? | 12:27 |
| akagi82_ | do you think if i install ubuntu now through usb it will solve the problem? | 12:27 |
| fartman | sh something | 12:27 |
| unop | fartman, chmod +x file.run; ./file.run | 12:28 |
| unop | fartman, sh can be used .. only if the .run file is a shellscript -- but that's not always guaranteed | 12:28 |
| thauriswulfa | squig: goto run (alt+f2) then gconf-editor | 12:28 |
| sam-_- | squig: meta key can be either alt or the left windows key. | 12:28 |
| fartman | i think this is | 12:28 |
| sam-_- | squig: did you try alt? | 12:28 |
| unop | fartman, well, the steps i gave you work regardless | 12:29 |
| fartman | can i do: sg NVIDIA* | 12:29 |
| squig | sam-_-, i changed the meta key to be left windows key and xev confirms its working | 12:29 |
| fartman | sh | 12:29 |
| unop | fartman, sure, i think you need sudo there too | 12:29 |
| skilz | s3r3n1t7, I allowed 10.1.1.2 on firestarter | 12:30 |

| sam-_- | squig: can you post the command you used? | 12:30 |
| fartman | yes just discovered | 12:30 |
| fartman | thanks | 12:30 |
| squig | sam-_-, I did it through ui's | 12:30 |
| squig | but ill post what I have from xev | 12:30 |
| jrib | fartman: why don't you just use "Additional Drivers" in the menu. It will be easier, is the supported way, and you get automatic updates. | 12:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, you have to allow 10.1.1.1 (the ip from pc2) on the firewall | 12:30 |
| fartman | i needed the newst driver for A0D to run | 12:31 |
| fartman | now tha ditional drivers do noe work | 12:31 |
| fartman | atleast the current one | 12:31 |
| skilz | s3r3n1t7, pc1 has the firewall running | 12:32 |
| fartman | but it might have been switched with the binary one | 12:32 |
| coz_ | fartman, they dont install or they wont kick in? | 12:32 |
| skilz | s3r3n1t7, I edited the resolv.conf file on pc2, now waht? | 12:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, correct. You edit the firewall on pc2, allowing the ip from pc1. Then you should be able to ping. | 12:32 |

| maklovin22 | I am sure this is a REALLY dumb question, but how do I find lhost | 12:35 |
| sam-_- | squig: it wants alt_l for the win key to work. even though it's called meta in the menu. | 12:35 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, did you plug the cable in? | 12:35 |
| sam-_- | squig: it | 12:35 |

| skilz | s3r3n1t7, when I disconnect and reconnect my mobile broadband, do I need to add a new nameserver? | 12:37 |

| skilz | or will it be the same one | 12:38 |
| skilz | and if I use a different SIM card | 12:38 |
| maklovin22 | ok | 12:38 |
| skilz | how do I know what ip to put in resolv.conf | 12:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skilz, no, the nameservers I gave you are from opendns. Those should always function. | 12:38 |
| maklovin22 | am just asking if local host is = my ip adress | 12:38 |
| skilz | excellent | 12:38 |
| squig | sam-_-, I changed it to super through gconf-editor and now it works *sigh* glad they took that UI option out of the menu | 12:38 |

| Dr_Willis | skilz: theres some inthe repos for kde and a few otehrs i recall. | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | I disable plymouth. :) | 13:02 |
| antsedit | alectaylor, i wasnt trying to have a go at you, but exploring multiple commands in the chat window does take up alot of lines | 13:03 |
| akagi82 | how do i join to spotchat? | 13:03 |
| skilz | I want something like the gentoo one | 13:03 |
| antsedit | akagi82, what irc client are you using? | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | akagi82: /server server.name.whatever | 13:03 |
| skilz | that looks nice | 13:03 |

| gasull | Hi. Gnome-screensaver doesn't find my ~/Pictures folder. It's trying to load the pictures from and old folder I had: ~/Pictures.2sort. I tried reinstalling it. No luck. How can I fix this? Thanks. | 13:03 |
| akagi82 | cheers willis | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz: no idea what gentoo is useing. its proberly not plymouth | 13:04 |
| raven | what is the command to change the rights of a folder to 777? | 13:04 |
| skilz | Dr_Willis, It's bootsplash | 13:04 |
| AlecTaylor | chown | 13:04 |
| raven | tnx | 13:04 |
| skilz | I want to use bootsplash | 13:04 |
| s3r3n1t7 | AlecTaylor, use wispers instead of the channel. ( antsedit ) | 13:04 |
| sam-_- | Dr_Willis: i would guess they use whatever they want. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz: good luck with that. | 13:04 |
| skilz | why? | 13:04 |
| etidhor | is there voice chat plugin for this irc | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | plymouth is so built into ubuntu these days.. i dont suggest removeing it.. just disable it if you dont like it. | 13:04 |

| ubottu | Package iceweasel does not exist in maverick | 13:06 |
| rvn | i am concerned that my netbook isn't running at full CPU speed - if i type cat /proc/cpuinfo it says the cpu is running at 1ghz, but it's a 1.66ghz cpu. I am running unity on 10.10, so i can't add the clock scaler to the panel, as there's no panel. | 13:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | rvn, you're probably right, it won't be runnign at full speed unless it's needed. It's called CPU scaling, it conserves battery by scaling it down when it can. | 13:07 |
| sam-_- | gasull: then you have to delete the gnome screensaver configs by hand | 13:07 |
| rvn | s3r3n1t7: yes but how do i know if it's even scaling up when it IS needed? | 13:07 |
| gasull | sam-_-: where are they? | 13:07 |
| pozic | gdm tells me a session for a certain user is already active with a green marking. How do I simply continue that session? | 13:07 |
| sam-_- | gasull: look in .gnome2/ .gconf/ | 13:07 |
| etidhor | is there desktop edition of ai...-hg?? | 13:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | rvn, do something heavy and check again? You can use "watch cat /proc/cpuinfo" to monitor it | 13:08 |
| etidhor | is there desktop edition of ai...-ng?? | 13:08 |
| AbhiJit | what is the reverse of this command to remove ppa? sudo add-apt-repository | 13:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | etidhor, would help if you didn't obscure what you're looking for. | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | AbhiJit: theres a ppapurge command somewhere. | 13:08 |
| rvn | s3r3n1t7: lol, turns out "watch" was enough to make it jump up all by itself... thanks tho, confirmed that it does clock up! | 13:08 |
| sagaci | Remove it from your sources.list | 13:08 |
| AbhiJit | Dr_Willis, ok | 13:09 |
| sagaci | Or in software sources if you're running a gui | 13:09 |
| rvn | i don't suppose there's a way to lock the CPU at full speed when on AC? | 13:09 |
| etidhor | ok but what is obscure | 13:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | rvn, i wouldn't recommend doing so. It'll always go up to full speed when it goes above a threshold (80% or something), and it won't become as hot when it's not needed. | 13:10 |
| AbhiJit | Dr_Willis, will it be fine if i just erase that ppa from sources.list? | 13:10 |
| sam-_- | rvn: there is. | 13:10 |
| etidhor | ok | 13:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | AbhiJit, yes, just update right after | 13:10 |
| AbhiJit | s3r3n1t7, Dr_Willis sagaci thank you | 13:10 |
| rvn | s3r3n1t7: it's well known that in gaming scenarios that is a cause of lag, and i am trying to squeeze all of the performance out of it to run a game that the device barely runs | 13:10 |
| rvn | sam-_-: and what might that be | 13:10 |
| etidhor | ; | 13:10 |
| sam-_- | rvn: like s3r3n1t7 said it's a bad idea to do it. | 13:11 |
| gasull | sam-_-: I deleted ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/ and still it doesn't find the ~/Pictures folder | 13:11 |
| etidhor | s3r3nlt7 ok but what is obscure | 13:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | rvn, i game as well, as long as the game keeps the average cpu load above 80% it won't scale down. That's something I dare place a bet on. | 13:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | etidhor, swap out letters with periods or other symbols | 13:11 |
| sam-_- | gasull: it may have stored configs somewhere else as well | 13:11 |
| etidhor | s3r3nlt7 say what to do | 13:12 |
| rvn | s3r3n1t7: this is true, and i expect it would, but who knows.. i know that on my core 2 duo desktop of years past, oblivion would get "slow" enough to cause speedstep to clock down and up again, making the game lag horribly until I disabled speedstep. | 13:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | rvn, that sounds like a speedstep issue, not an oblivion issue | 13:12 |
| bazhang | etidhor, cracking passwords is not supported. #aircrack-ng is where you should ask about that program | 13:12 |
| gasull | sam-_-: where? I've been googling and trying to find this. No luck. | 13:12 |
| rvn | s3r3n1t7: yes, im aware of that, but my concern is that my netbook might have the same scaling issue - or does ubuntu and not the BIOS control the scaling? | 13:12 |
| sam-_- | rvn: also it sounds like a temperature issue | 13:12 |
| etidhor | i have aircrack-ng but how to use it i don know | 13:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | rvn, oblivion always would use up max cpu, thus causing it to run at max speed. Ubuntu controls the scaling I think, although I'm not sure where. | 13:13 |
| sam-_- | gasull: i don't know since i don't use gnome screensaver | 13:13 |
| Pici | gasull: You can install the xscreensaver package and use xscreensaver-demo to change your screensaver preferences, I believe one of the tabs at the top is the place where you can find the path preferences. Make sure that you do not stop the gnome-screensaver daemon or start the xscreensaver one when it prompts you. | 13:13 |
| bazhang | etidhor, then join the channel I suggested | 13:13 |

| xgalactiaboyx | alright thank you i will just stick with the Distro I have then | 13:47 |
| sagaci | 904 is EOL | 13:48 |

| xgalactiaboyx | i use Linux Mint 9 and Ubuntu Tweak with that, under my computer details it says 480.7MB of ram | 13:49 |
| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, I've got a nice server/workstation here, running 10.10 on a P4, slightly larger drive than 20gb, and slightly more RAM (512mb) but also, I'm not using the onboard graphics card - I stuck in an old 512mb NVidia I had - runs all right. | 13:49 |

| sagaci | If your cpu support hyperthreading it should be fine | 13:50 |
| skilz | Is that done in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?? | 13:50 |
| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, Use a normal video card instead of the onboard port. | 13:50 |
| xgalactiaboyx | YankDownUnder, I do not know what you mean, I am just a beginner user for linux, so what would i have to do | 13:51 |
| xgalactiaboyx | YankDownUnder, basically what i am asking is do i have to buy a video card | 13:51 |
| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, If you're plugging your VGA connector into the port on the back of the computer that is on the backplane of the motherboard, you are using the onboard graphics adapter. If you put an AGP card into the machine, you will use the RAM that you have installed for the system instead of the machine allocating RAM from your system RAM. | 13:52 |

| jrib | xgalactiaboyx: why don't you try ubuntu with your current setup first and then decide if you need to upgrade your system? | 13:57 |
| sagaci | Need to make sure you don't buy a card that uses too much power | 13:57 |
| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, Not a Windows thing, mate - just a normal hardware thing that no one learns about much anymore becuase Microsoft have corrupted any IT tech courses. | 13:57 |
| xgalactiaboyx | jrib, i tried 10.04 and it was very slow thats why i was asking about the new one | 13:57 |
| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, It's latency is due to lack of graphics power...so yeah, an AGP card will speed ya up a fair whack. | 13:58 |
| jrib | xgalactiaboyx: what card do you have now? | 13:58 |

| jrib | Dr_Willis: I see | 14:04 |
| Dr_Willis | jrib: i dont even use it for that. :) | 14:04 |
| xgalactiaboyx | i have tried through ies4linux and playonlinux does not work for me for somereason and ies4linux i get to the install screen and it says installing, flashes, then goes away and never installs, i cant seem to get it to work through wine either and playonlinux freezes and says its installing and then dissapears | 14:04 |
| YankDownUnder | daniel34, Did you do "sudo install build-essential" ?? | 14:04 |
| cse13 | what about awk command? | 14:04 |
| * jrib hands daniel34 and YankDownUnder an "apt-get" | 14:04 | |
| Dr_Willis | xgalactiaboyx: run it from terminal , check its homepage/forums, is about all we can say | 14:04 |
| daniel34 | YankDownUnder: Yeah. I also tried to reinstall gcc and all dependencies after that. | 14:04 |
| sagaci | It should auto mount if you click it under Places | 14:04 |
| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, Now THAT may be an issue with graphics and lack of proper RAM | 14:04 |

| YankDownUnder | xgalactiaboyx, Having to personally deal with clients that do web-dev, you're going to eventually have to learn to use tar.gz files anyways - so it's best to have a bit of a read-up on 'em - and then slowly learn how to deal with 'em. They're basically the same as ZIP files (but far older) | 14:09 |

| Dr_Willis | ants: ubuntu can read/write ntfs fine via ntfs3g drivers | 14:09 |

| Dr_Willis | huij: could have been a system update or somthing totally unlreated.. its hard to tell | 14:15 |
| rumpe1 | cse13, mountpoint is just an ordinary directory (mkdir foo) | 14:15 |

| skilz | Also, in /etc/default/grub, there is a line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" Im guessing thats what makes the screen blank when my system is loading... Can I change that so I see everything loading? | 14:16 |
| Dr_Willis | huij: if the grub menu is not starting up.. reinstall grub. You may want to learn some more grub basics/troubleshoiioting | 14:16 |
| jrib | skilz: yes, you can change that | 14:16 |
| bonez2046 | is is possible to find somene, their email or otherwise, if in a chat conversation, their IP is collected? | 14:16 |

| xgalactiaboyx | is there like a program that will clean up my computer and try to help make it run faster | 14:17 |

| sitalkas | if someone knows the difference between sudo -s and sudo -i he is wellcomed to tell us | 14:46 |
| leth | jrib: yeah it seems according to launchpad it should be in the repo, right? | 14:46 |
| RaidZoft | Dcite: they are supposed to be on different logins so they could use the same computer without interrupting eachother | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | sitalkas: envoirment set up; | 14:46 |
| jrib | leth: why do you say that? My original guess was that the package just couldn't build and all you see is the ecl source package | 14:46 |

| pankajm | guys any lan only audio calling app (preferably terminal based)? | 14:46 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RaidZoft, VNC doesn't handle logins. It shows the desktop. | 14:46 |

| sitalkas | erUSUL: which means? | 14:47 |
| s3r3n1t7 | RaidZoft, there is, but it's not VNC. | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | sitalkas: sudo -s uses the users shell dotfiles ( can be dangerous ) sudo -i uses root's ( safer ) | 14:47 |
| RaidZoft | so what is it? I'll go google it | 14:47 |
| jrib | leth: you could grab the source package there and try building it yourself to see | 14:47 |
| mbeierl | RaidZoft: you're looking for something like NXmachine | 14:47 |

| foobar21 | If I plug an external display into my laptop (VGA) and configure dual-displays through the System > Preferences > Monitors utility, extended desktop appears to be functioning correctly although it's almost as if my laptop display thinks it's as high as the secondary display (though the panel is placed on the visible area).

| foobar21 | ne2k: Hey, perhaps the developer of twinview wanted it this way... what do I know? Perhaps he/she thought this is what users really wanted or what was missing from the traditional extended desktop support in other OSes. | 14:51 |
| leth | jrib: though i was mostly trying to understand how launchpad packages relates to the repos, as i said i'm not familiar with lauchbad but it seems launchbad is basicly saying there is a package for lucid. maybe it's not related to the actuall repo? | 14:51 |
| ne2k | foobar21: it creates a virtual display that is as high as the highest display. the display has to be a rectangle | 14:51 |
| Pici | leth: It says that there is a source package for Lucid, and that a build was attempted for sparc (and failed), but not for the other arches (for some reason),. | 14:52 |
| ne2k | foobar21: so on the smaller display, there is going to be empty space either above or below the visible bit | 14:52 |

| mbeierl | RaidZoft: it also has the advantage of being able to disconnect the session and leave it running in the background until you come back for it. XDMP will kill your session if you attempt to do that | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | tsarles: or is #ubuntu-forums ? | 14:53 |
| ne2k | foobar21: actually, this talk of TwinView is an NVIDIA thing. I don't know what X itself specifically does | 14:53 |
| RaidZoft | mbeierl: ah yeah that is a requirement for my needs that the session keeps running | 14:53 |

| erUSUL | Pici: ty | 14:53 |
| mbeierl | RaidZoft: this should get you started: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 14:53 |
| leth | Pici: this page says builds are succesfull for other platforms https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ecl/+builds is this not reliable somehow or have i misunderstood something? | 14:53 |
| ne2k | foobar21: it would be sensible to stop the mouse or windows going into that blank, non-visible space | 14:53 |
| jrib | leth: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecl/9.6.1-1ubuntu1 seems like there are no builds for lucid (like there are for karmic for example) | 14:53 |
| foobar21 | ne2k: I am not using the Nvidia driver (I believe I'm using the xorg intel driver) | 14:53 |
| ne2k | foobar21: you've exhausted my knowlege. hopefully that will get you started | 14:54 |
| jrib | leth: or for example on maverick: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecl/10.3.1-2ubuntu2 | 14:54 |
| leth | Pici: oh, wait it has karmic reports ther i see now. | 14:54 |
| foobar21 | ne2K: or icons (say if the blank space is above the primary display). The problem I encountered is that when I mount a drive or save something to the desktop, the icon is situated at the top-left corner... | 14:54 |
| leth | jrib: yes i see now.. it think it was that page i just linked that fooled me, but now i noticed it said those other platforms aren't lucid builds.. i think i understand now. | 14:55 |
| RaidZoft | mbeierl: ty, I'll be back if I get stuck ;P | 14:55 |
| ne2k | foobar21: I would have thought you would be able to work around this | 14:55 |
| mbeierl | RaidZoft: it's a good product. I've used it before. Good luck! | 14:55 |
| ne2k | foobar21: maybe imgbin a screenshot of your configuration tabs | 14:55 |
| johntig | i have a dell optiplex 760 .. which server iso should use? | 14:55 |
| Pici | leth: There is something weird with that package though. | 14:55 |
| ExpDate | what would be the best way to sort files in priority order, meants it would be sorted based on the date/time, if the date/time same, then it would based on the file name ? | 14:56 |
| ExpDate | any idea on that | 14:56 |
| ExpDate | ? | 14:56 |
| leth | Pici: yeah the page i linked should include non-lucis builds should it? | 14:56 |
| Pici | leth: Yeah, it should only be lucid builds. | 14:57 |
| foobar21 | ne2k: well I can work around this by positioning the laptop display as if it were at the top bezel of the secondary display... but then to trigger "docky" requires that you use a decent amount of attention to make sure you touch the bottom of the visible area of the laptop display. | 14:57 |
| mbeierl | anyone know of tricks to getting i915 graphics to work reliably across suspend/resume cycles? Mine keeps locking up (dell E6410) and I have to resort to sysreq-sub to reboot | 14:57 |

| fa | hi | 14:57 |
| foobar21 | ne2k: not too simple to explain... but it's not that important either. | 14:58 |
| erUSUL | ExpDate: maybe « ls -1t » does what you want | 14:58 |
| ExpDate | erUSUL: I am trying it now, ensure it does what i want | 14:59 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: you can use grep and awk to make more of it (what is ls call to not show dorectories?) | 15:00 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: what do you meant "ls call to not show dorectories" | 15:01 |
| ExpDate | ? | 15:01 |
| XtremeSupremacy3 | Everytime I start my Maverick laptop it shows only ~750 MB RAM while I have 3 Gig, only sometimes it shows whole 3Gig...can anyone help? | 15:01 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: just thinking to myself... | 15:01 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: access time is -u so -ltu, sort by access time and -lt by creation. | 15:04 |
| ExpDate | erUSUL: I think it would not be working, in a case that I would like to sort oldest file at top, and the alphabet order | 15:05 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: that's not works to | 15:05 |
| ExpDate | wait let me get the paste the sample of flle somewhere | 15:05 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: -r (reverse)? | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | ExpDate: use find ... -printf " " + sort or something like that. what do you want the list for? | 15:06 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: i did reverse too | 15:06 |
| ExpDate | http://pastebin.com/QGmavRqV try to sort content of that file | 15:07 |

| rigved | hi everyone...when using gtk-recordmydesktop, how do i "zoom in" when the recording is going on? | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | ExpDate: and what is the problem in that ordering | 15:09 |
| MrUnagi | how can i cp -r without overwriting files? | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | MrUnagi: man cp list the needed option i am sure | 15:09 |
| ExpDate | i expect l, l2, l3, b, c, d | 15:09 |
| shcherbak | look chronological, and b c d seems to be in order. | 15:09 |
| ExpDate | since b, c, d are created in the same time | 15:10 |
| ExpDate | so, the ordering should be based on alphabet | 15:10 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: but time rules, try -lur | 15:10 |
| panfist | is evolution in any way related to the mozilla project? | 15:10 |
| Dcite | MrUnagi: try cp -rn -n = --no-clobber do not overwrite | 15:11 |
| aeon-ltd | panfist: don;t think so, thunderbird is there email client | 15:11 |
| rigved | MrUnagi: if there aren't too many files, then you can use cp in interactive mode | 15:11 |
| MrUnagi | ty | 15:11 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: but without -r is ok? it need to be just printed backwards? | 15:12 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: it is same, | 15:12 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: so, did u get the idea, right? I want to sort based on the time, then if i got files that created at the same time, then i sort them based on name | 15:12 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: what is order for -ltu (from top)? | 15:12 |
| XtremeSupremacy3 | anyone know why Maverick is only showing ~750MB RAM while I have 3Gig? | 15:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | shcherbak, no specified order for switches. | 15:13 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: -r is needed, because i wanted the oldes time printed first | 15:13 |
| rigved | MrUnagi: you are welcome | 15:13 |
| rigved | hi everyone...when using gtk-recordmydesktop, how do i "zoom in" when the recording is going on? | 15:13 |
| ranamalo | it appears the flashplugin-nonfree in the repos is broken, well not there | 15:14 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: you can just number output and sort it later. | 15:14 |
| oCean | ExpDate: is the 'sort' command an option? Like: cat this_file | sort -k7,9 (the -k being the 'keys' to use for sorting) | 15:14 |
| ranamalo | anyone else seen this? or have an alternative partner repo? | 15:14 |
| ExpDate | b c d l3 l2 l | 15:15 |
| ExpDate | but again the oldest file is l and l2 | 15:15 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: do you think it would not possible to be done in a single command, ? | 15:15 |
| ExpDate | so, ls is not he option/ | 15:16 |
| ExpDate | i could be the option | 15:16 |
| oCean | ExpDate: using sort: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555814/ | 15:16 |
| skepster | Hi, I have 2 lucid lynx boxes that seem to hang at fsck during startup - is there any way I can disable it/ find out what is wrong with it? | 15:16 |
| ExpDate | oCean: let me try with sort | 15:16 |
| ExpDate | oCean: it could not be done ls, ? | 15:16 |
| ExpDate | yes | 15:16 |
| shcherbak | ExpDate: so: in loop: i=1 for line in $(ls -ltu); do echo $i $line > soting; done; sort -r; (test it and fix mistakes) | 15:17 |
| shcherbak | sort -r < soting | 15:18 |

| mbeierl | skepster: do you edit the grub boot command and remove the "quiet" from it? Or try booting in "single" (or recovery? can't remember what it's called) | 15:18 |
| MrUnagi | so if diff returns nothing, there is no difference? | 15:19 |
| skepster | mbeierl: ok, thanks! | 15:19 |
| ExpDate | shcherbak: so, basically ls could do it in a single command, | 15:20 |
| ExpDate | i would use this , | sort -k7,9 | 15:20 |
| ExpDate | it works, | 15:20 |

| jubei | guys I'm trying to figure out if font smoothing is enabled on my system and if not to enable it. But there doesn't seem to be a fonts option under either administration or preferences | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | sbin exists | 15:47 |
| edbian | sgzfx, That's the entire path? It's starts with a . ? | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | init doesn't | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | :/ | 15:47 |
| bc81 | nevermind guys, i found the answer to my question: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/614650 | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | no i was just reminding | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | sorry for the confusin | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | confusion* | 15:47 |
| FloodBot2 | sgzfx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:47 |
| edbian | sgzfx, init is a binary file | 15:47 |
| edbian | sgzfx, not a folder | 15:47 |
| shcherbak | jubei: Try Apperance | 15:47 |
| sgzfx | ls doesn't list it | 15:47 |
| edbian | sgzfx, Then that's like, really bad. I would check the hdd using a live CD | 15:48 |
| sgzfx | i'm also dual-booting windows 7 on the machine, which works perfectly | 15:48 |
| jubei | shcherbak, that did it. thank you! | 15:48 |
| edbian | sgzfx, Well that's not surprising. HDDs get corrupted in pieces not all at once | 15:49 |
| sgzfx | i'm guessing it's a partition issue? Not having troubles on w7 | 15:49 |
| itsme2011 | I am unable to access few websites on my Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit), but I am able to access them from Kubuntu 10.10 (32 bit) Live CD on same computer? | 15:49 |
| Guest17245 | can someone please help me in private mode i need help in installing blender 2.56 and LabVIEW6.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 | 15:49 |
| edbian | sgzfx, I STRONGLY suggest you backup all your data from windows and don't use this PC again until you do | 15:49 |
| edbian | sgzfx, It's quite possible that one partition is being affected and the others are not. Bottom line, the HDD is failing | 15:49 |
| sgzfx | crap | 15:49 |
| sgzfx | can i do a disk check of some sort on win7 | 15:50 |
| jubei | itsme2011, could it be the websites you cannot access are flash-based websites? | 15:50 |
| sgzfx | to see if that's true | 15:50 |
| edbian | sgzfx, yeah but I don't think it will check the linux partition. | 15:50 |
| === Guest71180 is now known as RaNdY | ||
| RaidZoft | uh, silly question... during the installation it never asked me to set a root password..... how do I do that? O.o | 15:50 |
| RAMNUS | what the heck? | 15:50 |
| sgzfx | Raid, it does | 15:51 |
| RAMNUS | lol. | 15:51 |
| shcherbak | itsme2011: Sounds rather like browser... links2? | 15:51 |
| edbian | sgzfx, I think windows calls it dskchk or something like that? You can do it by right cliking on 'computer' and then right clicking on your harddrive (remember those this only checks the windows partition(s) ) | 15:51 |
| === RaNdY is now known as Guest77100 | ||
| edbian | !root | RaidZoft | 15:51 |
| ubottu | RaidZoft: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:51 |
| sgzfx | chkdisk or something | 15:51 |
| sgzfx | but i'll try it | 15:51 |
| itsme2011 | jubei: No they are plain HTML websites, like passportindia.gov.in | 15:51 |
| shcherbak | RaidZoft: You do NOT. | 15:51 |
| m4v | RaidZoft: but it did ask you for a user password, use that one with sudo | 15:51 |
| itsme2011 | jubei: I ahve installed Flash on my computer though. | 15:52 |
| sgzfx | AFAIK the user created during install has sudo | 15:52 |
| jubei | jubei, sorry no idea then. | 15:52 |
| jubei | itsme2011, sorry no idea. | 15:52 |
| RaidZoft | problem was I was trying to install something and that password didn't work... | 15:52 |
| sgzfx | oh dear | 15:52 |
| shcherbak | itsme2011: try text browser. | 15:52 |
| === Guest17245 is now known as aaa154423 | ||

| === aaa154423 is now known as okletsgo | ||
| sgzfx | edbian If that part of the HDD is failing, so might be more parts of it | 15:53 |
| itsme2011 | shcherbak: can you please suggest one? | 15:53 |
| sgzfx | edbian At least I have a desktop machine I can use that time with a working ubuntu install, the one I'm on now :) | 15:53 |
| RaidZoft | m4v: well I was using the desktop gui thingy, first through a webpage that called the package installer, then I just tried to access the package installer.. | 15:53 |

| Whitor | Hi all. I'm looking for an opinion. I'm doing a fresh install on an i7 with 4GB of ram. the machine will be used for desktop purposes and a virtualbox windows environment... Which (32bit or 64bit) should I use? | 15:53 |
| shcherbak | itsme2011: elinks, links2 (with -g works in graphic mode), lynx | 15:53 |
| edbian | sgzfx, I myself have 3 comptuers just in case | 15:53 |
| edbian | Whitor, 64 bit if you want to use all your ram | 15:54 |
| erUSUL | Whitor: 64 bits | 15:54 |
| sgzfx | edbian, I have a laptop, the one dying and a desktop PC , the one I'm on now | 15:54 |
| okletsgo | ok that feels much better now. i've tried it with sudo and my pw; permission is still denied; what can i do to solve this problem? | 15:54 |
| m4v | RaidZoft: and you used the same password used at login? | 15:54 |
| RaidZoft | yep | 15:54 |
| Whitor | i've heard that 64 isn't quite there yet ... still has some weitdnesses | 15:54 |
| Whitor | weirdnesses | 15:55 |
| RaidZoft | this is on a ubuntu server install with the desktop enviroment installed afterwards | 15:55 |
| RAMNUS | i've 64bit now. | 15:55 |
| RAMNUS | looks fine/ | 15:55 |
| oCean | Whitor: the 64bit version suits me fine for several years now | 15:55 |
| Whitor | but... I am anxious to use it | 15:55 |
| m4v | RaidZoft: can you try this in a terminal? "sudo -l" and use your login password when prompted | 15:55 |
| Whitor | oCean, nice, thanks | 15:55 |
| RAMNUS | ok can you tell me again how to install kvirc again? | 15:56 |
| RaidZoft | I know it worked fine in terminal mode before I installed the desktop enviroment | 15:56 |

| skepster | I have encountered a situation where I am unable to start my lucid box - it is stuck in mountall -> I have tried adding nobootwait to a mount that is probably the one that isn't working, but mountall gives me no output until I C-M-del at which point I see that that is the process that is killed. Any suggestions? I am running without grub quiet mode | 15:58 |
| compdoc | someone in ubuntu-server said to just install the desktop version of ubuntu since its not that much different | 15:58 |
| RaidZoft | hmm | 15:59 |
| RaidZoft | might do that instead then | 15:59 |
| randy_ | I need help for grub2 | 15:59 |

| Gigacore | edbian: do u know the solution? | 16:06 |
| oCean | tehbaut: ah ok, I thought it was a separate usb numpad. It's just the numpad part of the keyboard that doesn't work? I have not heard that before | 16:07 |

I was planning on just copying and pasting a correct version of the file but I didn't know if it would influence other things before I did. | 16:13 |

| b0ot | schnuffle, if I power down the system to get the original cd file off another hard drive and then boot up with a totally commented out 70-persistent-cd.rules file would it influence anything else or would I be fine after I restore the original.

| TheTinyToon | afeijo: you can bind several domains to one ip through CNAMEs, but from what I understood, you wanted to force your visitors to acknowledge your real domains instead of the www-ones. | 16:17 |
| edbian | sgzfx, There's a chance you can get them using a live CD and a second HDD or USB key or something | 16:17 |
| jPuff | USB | 16:17 |
| colonas | why can't I resize images to arbitrary small sizes in eye of gnome? it always has a minimum width and height, and it is annoying. | 16:17 |
| sgzfx | edbian, Well windows is still intact so we'll see :P | 16:17 |
| sacarlson | itsme2011: I also have a custom compiled firefox I didn't think about that is setup for firewatir, not that it would make any difference | 16:17 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: If you just want to have several domains to one ip, you can do that through CNAMEs, so e.g. example.com and www.example.com both give back the ip 1.2.3.4 | 16:17 |
| afeijo | yes TheTinyToon, I will try it with apache as well :) | 16:17 |
| undecim | jPuff: You should be able to add it to your printer list via System -> Administration -> Printing | 16:18 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: it's just a question on what you want to achieve. | 16:18 |
| itsme2011 | shcherbak: tried opera, firefox, chrome with same result. | 16:18 |
| jPuff | its already there D: | 16:18 |
| jPuff | and it has a checkmark on it - thats good right? | 16:18 |
| sgzfx | edbian, it finished and reported 0 corrupted sectors, that can't be bad :P | 16:18 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: the apache-solution will redirect http://www.example.com/foo/bar visitors to http://example.com/foo/bar | 16:18 |
| undecim | jPuff: Yup | 16:18 |
| jPuff | but it wont print | 16:18 |
| undecim | jPuff: You should be able to print then | 16:18 |
| afeijo | TheTinyToon: I have wildcards to subdomains, and my site works today with www and without it. So google see my site thru 2 address!! That is not good | 16:18 |
| dnivra | hello. I share a folder via samba and allowing guest access. but I cannot access it from a windows machine. I can however access it from the same machine if I disable guest access i.e. user name required. what could be wrong? | 16:19 |
| edbian | sgzfx, so windows is fine :) | 16:19 |
| undecim | jPuff: Right click on it and see if there is anything in the print Queue | 16:19 |
| sgzfx | sgzfx, too bad I was intending on use of ubuntu :( | 16:19 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: then go for the apache-solution. | 16:19 |
| b0ot | If I accidently overwrote my 70-persistent-cd.rules file can it casue any damage to shutdown while I get a backup of it and then reboot and restore it? | 16:19 |
| afeijo | yep | 16:19 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: an example-config would be here http://paste.ubuntu.com/555833/ | 16:19 |

| undecim | I keep asking this and forgetting... I'll write it down this time :P | 16:20 |
| afeijo | TheTinyToon: that examploe wont harm my subdomains, will it? | 16:20 |
| dajhorn | undecim: dpkg -S | 16:20 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: might even work with .htaccess. | 16:20 |
| RAMNUS | well people, that sudo app-get install kvirc didn't work.. | 16:20 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: no, not unless you have other rewrites in place. It's limited to www.example.com | 16:20 |
| afeijo | great! | 16:20 |
| TheTinyToon | afeijo: (that's what line 2 says) | 16:21 |
| jPuff | undecim there is | 16:21 |
| shcherbak | undecim: In Synaptic there is all info about packges, in context menu > preferencies. | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | RAMNUS: becouse it is apt-get not app-get | 16:21 |
| itsme2011 | shcherbak: sacarlson: These websites worked perfectly well on Kubuntu 10.10 (32 bit) Live CD, on same computer, same Modem and Internet connection. | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | RAMNUS: aplications>ubuntu software center should work equally well | 16:21 |
| undecim | b0ot: AFAIK, it shouldn't hurt... If you can't boot without it, you can just use a live CD to restore it | 16:21 |
| undecim | jPuff: What is the status of the items in the queue? | 16:22 |

| xil | I'm having some trouble with wpa_supplicant | 16:27 |
| TheTinyToon | itsme2011: If you get a connection, enter "GET / text/http1.0" and press the enterkey two times - do you get an output? | 16:27 |
| itsme2011 | sacarlson: I am running Windows XP (32 bit) and Xbuntu (32 bit) in Virtual box with same result. | 16:28 |
| colonas | why can't I resize images to arbitrary small sizes in eye of gnome? it always has a minimum width and height, and it is annoying. | 16:28 |
| undecim | jPuff: Does the model number shown in System -> Administration -> Printing match the number printed on the printer? | 16:28 |
| edbian | colonas, use gimp | 16:28 |
| itsme2011 | TheTinyToon: its a 3 line output shall I post it in here. | 16:28 |
| xil | when I run wpa_cli or wpa_gui it complains that it can't get the status of wpa_supplicant | 16:28 |
| sacarlson | itsme2011: sound like what I do on my site I filter ip address other than local | 16:28 |
| TheTinyToon | itsme2011: no, please use pastebin or a similar pasteservice | 16:29 |
| colonas | edbian: I don't want to permanently resize the image, just look at it with a different zoom level, and gimp is too bulky for quickly viewing images. | 16:29 |
| okletsgo | shcherbak | hi im trying to install LabVIEW 6.1 for Linux | 16:29 |
| edbian | colonas, Oh, then IDK | 16:29 |
| colonas | thanks though, edbian | 16:29 |
| sacarlson | itsme2011: in this case they filter all but nonlocal | 16:29 |
| shcherbak | colonas: What about feh ? | 16:29 |
| undecim | xil: I haven't used wpa_supplicant in a while, but IIRC, you need to pass an option to wpa_supplicant to let wpa_cli and wpa_gui use it | 16:30 |
| colonas | shcherbak: I'll try that one, thanks | 16:30 |
| undecim | xil: either that, or it's in the .conf | 16:30 |

Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop shows Untrusted Application Launcher and requires me to mark it as trusted(?). CLI method gives ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not se | 16:32 |

| IdleOne | cryptodira: check the sound prefs and make sure your Input device is selected properly | 16:33 |
| IdleOne | cryptodira: also not muted | 16:33 |
| okletsgo | undecim |ok i search after it... | 16:33 |
| TheTinyToon | itsme2011: ah, my bad. you should have entered "GET / http/text1.0". mixed up the last argument. | 16:33 |
| itsme2011 | TheTinyToon: Do you mean, did telnet exited properly, Yes it did. | 16:33 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Your home partition is encrypted then... | 16:33 |
| IdleOne | okletsgo: sudo apt-get install libdb-dev | 16:33 |

| KM0201 | undecim: not faulting you at all... i'm more perplexed at the question... i think folks install w/ their eyes closed sometimes | 16:34 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Why are you using a live cd to access your home directory? | 16:34 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Its /home/eda I'm trying to access which contains all the above mentioned. THen how to access encryted folder then? | 16:34 |
| itsme2011 | TheTinyToon: I am sorry, I am a bit confused now, what command should I execute in terminal? | 16:35 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Because the system is now broken. I want to take backup | 16:35 |
| IdleOne | cryptodira: under the Input tab do you have more then 1 Connector available? | 16:35 |
| shcherbak | okletsgo: Ubuntu use .deb, so .rpm is not native, yes you need alien. | 16:35 |

| guampa | !it | 16:36 |
| TheTinyToon | itsme2011: telnet again. And directly after the "Escape character is"-message, you should be able to enter "GET / http/text1.0" | 16:36 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: lemme see | 16:36 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Then you can use the file browser access the files inside the folder you used as the chroot directory | 16:37 |
| KM0201 | cryptodira: whats it say in "connector" | 16:37 |
| IdleOne | cryptodira: hmm, just above the display box where you see Internal Audio Analog Stereo there is a drop down menu, does it say Microphone 1? | 16:37 |

| cryptodira | KM0201: hmmm... i know the mic works... at least in windows... as did everything else... i do not have a 32 version of 10.04 and not sure if i have enough d/l capacity left for the month on my wildblue connection... any other suggestions? | 16:56 |

| pradeep | Yugnoswam, sorry what do you mean by install windows from ubuntu | 16:57 |
| KM0201 | cryptodira: try 10.10 maybe... it's a fairly new laptop, maybe it's supported better in 10.10 | 16:57 |
| TheTinyToon | itsme2011: we've basically ruled out a problem with a browser by accessing the server directly via telnet (it's basically a low-level access, imitating what your browser normally would do for you) | 16:57 |
| salihbugrabas | what? | 16:57 |
| Cpt_Zyph | hey guys i removed something from my default tool bar that showed my IM chat and email status .. i cant find it how ever to readd ... what do i do to revert this back to the normal setup as i enjoy that little tool | 16:57 |

| Yugnoswam | sgzfx: yes. CD-ROM/Hard Disk/Network/Removable | 16:57 |
| TheTinyToon | itsme2011: it might only be possible, that the server does not accept http1.0, but it did answer correctly a few minutes ago and I don't think that they changed that in the past minutes. | 16:58 |

| undecim | jPuff: I honestly have no idea... HP printers are usually just plug-and-play on Linux. | 17:03 |
| itsme2011 | I am unable to access few websites on my Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit), but I am able to access them from Kubuntu 10.10 (32 bit) Live CD on same computer? | 17:03 |
| ayecee | itsme2011: what happens when you try? | 17:03 |
| undecim | jPuff: Maybe install hplip-gui and see what you can get... | 17:04 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Steps are wrong for chroot | 17:04 |
| liooba | i want to change the options at startup for grub. i want the get rid of the older versions of ubuntu (actually 2.6.35-24). can i simply delete the files /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic and /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic, and then run update-grub ? | 17:04 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: How so? | 17:04 |
| chriskodom | Can anyone help me with getting my Intel 6250 Wimax working? | 17:04 |
| shcherbak | liooba: Rather use Synaptic or apt for it. | 17:04 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: I followed it but its giving - chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 17:04 |
| Yugnoswam | chriskodom: Is it connected correctly? | 17:04 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Ahh... your system is broken worse than I thought.... | 17:05 |
| chriskodom | Yugnoswam: Ues the wifi is up and running just need to get the Wimax working | 17:05 |
| itsme2011 | ayecee: Page never gets loaded it says waiting and tried using telnet but returned "Connection closed by foreign host." | 17:05 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Alright, let's see. | 17:05 |
| Yugnoswam | Hello, I was here yesterday asking about installing windows from ubuntu but I am still not having any luck. It will not boot from disc and says to install from desktop by running the disc in my computer. I do not have this option. what can i do?. My bios is set to boot order: CD-ROM/Hard Disk/Network/Removable | 17:05 |
| liooba | shcherbak : ok, i'll look to that. thx | 17:05 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: We'll have to forget about the chroot then and do this another way. | 17:05 |
| Yugnoswam | chriskodom: I'm not that good with wifi. Sorry. | 17:05 |
| shcherbak | liooba: There is also entry on Ubuntu forum about this. | 17:05 |
| chriskodom | NP | 17:05 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Well, that maybe right. But I'm wondering how even sudo chroot /mnt is not working | 17:06 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: And what's that? | 17:06 |
| eket | anyone here any good on installing internal bluetooth on an acer aspire? | 17:06 |
| chriskodom | I got the latest drivers installed but the wimxd gives me a segmentation fault....:( | 17:06 |
| eket | been searching the web withouth any luck | 17:06 |
| dnivra | undecim, http://paste.ubuntu.com/555865/ is the smb.conf file. I just ensured that the share is existing with a guest access. | 17:06 |

| undecim | UbuntuCD: Usually, even broken systems will work, but yours is apparantly missing /bin files | 17:07 |

| UbuntuCD | undecim: /bin files? | 17:07 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: No it isn't | 17:07 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Either that, or you didn't follow the chroot properly | 17:07 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: It doesn't ask to mount /bin or uses it any way | 17:08 |
| shcherbak | UbuntuCD: /bin (at least core) can be copied from working system, you have some chnaces to recover. | 17:08 |
| daedaluz | I meant, can I update it & sync contacts etc have full functionality? | 17:08 |
| thehouseofcarter | i need help on how to use windows cds | 17:08 |

| undecim | dnivra: I still don't see any shares... Perhaps Ubuntu handles shared folders differently... | 17:09 |
| itsme2011 | Anyone ? | 17:09 |
| ayecee | itsme2011: check proxy settings? | 17:09 |
| undecim | dnivra: I'm guessing you're using the file browser to share folders? | 17:09 |
| dnivra | undecim, yeah; it is same as samba right? | 17:09 |
| undecim | dnivra: Yes | 17:09 |

| UbuntuCD | schnuffle: undecim The only thing different I did from the link - http://blog.undecim.org/2010/05/fix-boot-problems-with-a-live-cd-and-chroot/ is that I mounted it in /mnt for /dev, /proc, /sys, /home , /boot. I've separate partition for /boot. No, no separate partition for /bin | 17:10 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, sorry went out | 17:10 |
| okletsgo | undecim Y shcherbak | i have it installed now the tutorial was very fine thx but labview running from console nothing happen, with the desktop symbol for a ms it opens that is close imidiately | 17:10 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, have you gooten an ans to your question | 17:11 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: What files do you see in /mnt? | 17:11 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: And then sudo chroot /mnt | 17:11 |
| === liooba_ is now known as liooba | ||
| UbuntuCD | undecim: I see folders for dev, proc, sys, home, boot | 17:11 |
| dnivra | undecim, so any idea why guest access isn't possible? | 17:12 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Then that's why chroot cannot find /bin/bash... there is no /mnt/bin | 17:12 |
| UbuntuCD | yep | 17:12 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Nor does the blog refers for one | 17:12 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: You need to mount all of these onto your installed / partition. | 17:12 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: It doesn't refer to one, because it's expected to be on the partition you are binding proc,dev, and sys to. | 17:13 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: You mean / of the broken system? | 17:13 |
| itsme2011 | ayecee: Any ideas? | 17:13 |

| ayecee | itsme2011: not offhand. | 17:13 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: So instead of mounting it to /mnt I should mount it to /media/XXXX/ ? | 17:13 |

| itsme2011 | ayecee: I am sorry for inconvenience, but I couldn't understand, what do you mean by "not offhand"? | 17:16 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: I also want to fix grub as instructed in your post | 17:16 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, okay now basically you have to install partition your hdd first then install windows first before you install ubuntu on the other partition then you can dualboot | 17:16 |
| dnivra | undecim, would there be any issue if the folder I am sharing is mounted during boot-specified entries in fstab. | 17:16 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: You can do both of those. | 17:16 |
| ayecee | itsme2011: I don't have any immediate ideas as to what might cause that problem. | 17:16 |

| undecim | UbuntuCD: no. Just make sure you mount the /boot at /media/XXXX/boot, then fix grub from the chroot environment | 17:18 |
| itsme2011 | Thanks for try everyone. I guess I have to try somewhere else, for answer. | 17:18 |
| liooba | shcherbak : do you have the link to the actual thread on forum ? don't find it about my particular problem | 17:18 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: For mounting dev, proc, sys its fine but for /home and /boot of the broken system will be moounted in the brken system again | 17:18 |
| liooba | (about changing the list of available versions of linux to run at boot) | 17:19 |

| cqixk | Hi. after an do-release-upgrade from 9.04 to 10 I get ureadahead requires upstart (>= 0.6.0) but upstart is no configured | 17:19 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: I've to mount /home and /boot of what to where? | 17:19 |
| Yugnoswam | pradeep: I do not wish to dual boot, I just want windows 7 as my primary OS and then I can install Ubuntu/OSX and XP as virtuals. | 17:19 |

| codewiz | hi guys | 17:19 |
| codewiz | im having wlan troubles | 17:19 |
| codewiz | on a hp pavillion dv6000 | 17:20 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: You have a separate /home, and /boot, correct? | 17:20 |
| codewiz | when i installed 10.04, everything was working fine | 17:20 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: I've to mount /home and /boot of broken / to ? | 17:20 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Yes | 17:20 |
| cqixk | this results in shutdown -r now -> shutdown: relocation error: shutdown: symbol __abort_msg, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference | 17:20 |
| codewiz | now it doesnt see the wlan networks, and if i disable wireless in nm-applett-kde, i cant activate it again | 17:20 |
| marcelcamaret | when I install a lot of vm's my disk space runs out very quickly. :) | 17:20 |

| pradeep | Yugnoswam, then you have to install virtualbox | 17:20 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: so if /home is /dev/sda2, for example, you would run "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/XXXX/home" | 17:20 |
| codewiz | sorry | 17:20 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: And similarly for /boot | 17:20 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Or... | 17:21 |
| codewiz | okay then in one line | 17:21 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, host your virtual OS in it | 17:21 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: THat's where the problem is | 17:21 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: it's irrelevant now.. does that laptop have a broadcom? | 17:21 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: If those two partitions are already mounted in /media/, you can just bind them... | 17:21 |
| codewiz | not sure, lspci -l ? | 17:21 |
| erebel55 | can anyone help me use my flash drive in ubuntu? I'm just trying to put some files on it. | 17:21 |
| Matt-_- | hi i've tried ubuntu live cd and i'm going to install in a partition. do you think i should make a recovery dvd for my win7? | 17:21 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: e.g: sudo mount --bind /media/home /media/XXXX/home | 17:21 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: you don't need the -l | 17:21 |
| dnivra | erebel55, i think it's enough if you just plug it in to a USB drive. | 17:22 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Yeah they are already mounted | 17:22 |
| UbuntuCD | $ sudo mount /dev/sda6 | 17:22 |
| UbuntuCD | mount: /dev/sda6 already mounted or /media/26acc2b3-4031-4f88-8e7f-a829727603cb busy | 17:22 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Then either unmount them, or use a --bind like my example | 17:22 |
| randy_ | how to use wireless in server without X | 17:22 |
| erebel55 | dnivra: I tried that..but it isn't there when i look under computer | 17:22 |
| KM0201 | Matt-_-: probbaly be a good idea.. it's unlikely something will go wrong(so long as you pay attention).. but just in case something does, it'll help a lot to have a way to at least bring 7 back | 17:22 |
| codewiz | it has an Atheros | 17:22 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, i think that is what you want to do right? | 17:22 |
| undecim | randy_: Do you need to use an encrypted wireless connection? or unencrytped? | 17:23 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: which atheros.. there's a lot of atheros chipsets | 17:23 |
| codewiz | atheros AR5001 | 17:23 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: no, you are confusing me. What if unmount them? according to mtab, /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /media/26acc2b3-4031-4f88-8e7f-a829727603cb | 17:23 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: what version of ubuntu are you using?.... i'm using 10.10, and it works fine | 17:23 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Then run "sudo umount /dev/sda6" to umount that and try again | 17:23 |
| Yugnoswam | I have windows 7 on a virtual box but the starter version already. | 17:23 |
| codewiz | 10.04 | 17:23 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 17:23 |
| codewiz | it worked when i installed it | 17:23 |
| randy_ | undecim, encrypted,but also neend un encrypted | 17:23 |
| codewiz | somewhen inbetween it stopped doing so | 17:23 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Okay try what now? | 17:23 |
| Yugnoswam | I want windows 7 as my operating system. Forget about any others. | 17:23 |
| codewiz | could be due to updates or so | 17:23 |
| codewiz | not sure, it isnt my laptop | 17:23 |
| Yugnoswam | pradeep: forgot to put ur name first, theres 2 messages above this | 17:24 |
| dnivra | erebel55, could you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 17:24 |
| erebel55 | anyone? | 17:24 |
| erebel55 | yes | 17:24 |
| codewiz | damn im using enter as puncutation again lol | 17:24 |
| Matt-_- | ok, thanks KM0201. another question... how long does it usually take to install Ubuntu? | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: that's strange, it's actually been quite a while since i had any trouble w/ that device... | 17:24 |
| undecim | randy_: Unencrypted is easy... just use "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid networkname" where wlan0 is the name of your adapted (as reported by "iwconfig") and networkname is the name of your network... Then just use "dhclient" to get an IP | 17:24 |
| undecim | randy_: For encrypted networks, you will need to use wpa_supplicant | 17:24 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: I've unmounted /dev/sda6. please give me the example for th next step .. Rest I'll follow up myself | 17:24 |
| erebel55 | dnivra: http://pastebin.com/4azTNqqw | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | Matt-_-: it really depends on how much partitioning needs done... but in general, the OS itself only takes about 10-15min to install | 17:25 |
| okletsgo | codewiz | i am using power lan without problems :) | 17:25 |
| Stormx2 | Matt-_-, depends, but normally not long. You fill in all the information at the beginning and then make yourself a cup of tea | 17:25 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, i really need to get what you are saying... do you want windows 7 to be your host OS then ubuntu and xp to be on your VirtualBox ??? | 17:25 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/[broken /]/home | 17:25 |
| codewiz | wait | 17:25 |
| codewiz | it suddenly did connect | 17:25 |
| randy_ | undecim, I program name? | 17:25 |
| dnivra | erebel55, is the flash drive plugged in? if not, do so. if it is, i guess it isn't being detected. | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: well, sounds like a user malfunction. | 17:26 |
| KM0201 | lol | 17:26 |
| codewiz | wtf? sorry i maybe need to tell lisa shes doing something wrong with the nb | 17:26 |
| erebel55 | dnivra: yes its plugged in | 17:26 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, please type all your reply in one sentence would be easier to read | 17:26 |
| codewiz | or maybe her router | 17:26 |
| undecim | randy_: yes, wpa_supplicant is a program name | 17:26 |
| dnivra | erebel55, O | 17:26 |
| erebel55 | but i am trying to access it in a vm..i'm not sure if that matters | 17:26 |
| KM0201 | codewiz: unlikely her router, cuz it would see networks... are you using gnome or kde? | 17:26 |
| Yugnoswam | pradeep: sorry. Yes, Windows 7 as my only bootable OS. | 17:26 |
| codewiz | hehe, KM0201 i will reboot the notebook and see what it does | 17:26 |
| dnivra | erebel55, oops sorry. did you say VM? Virtual Box? | 17:26 |
| randy_ | undecim, thank you | 17:26 |
| randy_ | the problem is I want to use backwall in grub2,so I put in /usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-grub.png,but it cause problem,it can't save other boot loader in menu even I TRY UPDATE-GRUB | 17:26 |

| undecim | mike213: There are ways to do it, but it's not for the faint of heart | 17:27 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, so what is your computer like now.. i mean when you boot up your system what does it start with | 17:27 |

| cqixk | any solution on do-release-upgrade resulting in a faulty upstart -> ureadahead | 17:28 |
| undecim | mike213: Fortunately, Windows 7 is fairly tolerant of hardware changes... However, you have to give VirtualBox direct access to the windows partition, which will generally blow up your computer (metaphorically) if both OSs try to mess with it at the same time | 17:28 |

| mbeierl | mike213: it was not too hard. And I find that yes it is worth it. Whenever I boot native into windows, it's "activated" but in the "vm" it tells me I need to activate and I've got 30 days left. | 17:31 |
| mbeierl | mike213: are you going to use vmware or virtualbox? | 17:31 |
| Yugnoswam | pradeep: already is. CD ROM/HARD DISK/NETWORK/REMOVABLE | 17:32 |
| kopper1108 | If i installed ubuntu alongside windows, can I change it so it is only ubuntu? | 17:32 |
| mike213 | mbeier1: i've used vmware, but my understanding is they both work fine; i'll just use whatever is easier | 17:32 |
| codewiz | mh i didnt do anything, and the wlan suddenly works fine heh | 17:32 |
| undecim | mike213: This might be of some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662018 | 17:32 |
| codewiz | anyhow, thanks guys, appreciated | 17:32 |
| guampa | gtk preferred | 17:32 |
| Yugnoswam | kopper1108: yes, you have to delete the partition windows is on though so I reccomend backing up the files from it. | 17:33 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, it should.. cos all system has got a bios expect you did not burn your windows 7 dvd as a bootable disc or may your cd rom hardware has a fault | 17:33 |
| zvrk | Yugnoswam, what kind of laptop you have | 17:33 |
| shcherbak | guampa: firestarter let you set rules | 17:33 |
| mbeierl | mike213: boot into windows natively, and enable the LSI-SAS scsi driver in the registry. That will allow you to bring Windows 7 up inside vmware as vmware uses the LSI scsi driver emulation | 17:34 |

| Yugnoswam | pradeep: It's a legit copy. The bios is set perfectly and I've booted OS's from it before. Like Ubuntu | 17:34 |
| Yugnoswam | zvrk: I am using a Desktop Computer. | 17:34 |
| kopper1108 | thanks! | 17:34 |
| Yugnoswam | kopper1108: make sure you don't delete anything wrongly, ask for help if you need it. | 17:34 |
| zvrk | Yugnoswam, ok what kind of | 17:34 |
| undecim | mike213: I would recommend doing that stripped down VM like you suggested though... I've only used this setup on cases where Windows 7 wouldn't install on a system directly... | 17:35 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, hmmmm interesting i really dont know what to say about it or wait can you try it out on another system | 17:35 |
| Yugnoswam | zvrk: Packard Bell. Store built from about 2005. (I am currently building my own to replace it) | 17:35 |
| mbeierl | mike213: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/285502 for the thread on vmware in case you go that route | 17:35 |
| kopper1108 | k, I will be back when I am ready, thanks | 17:35 |
| mike213 | mbeier1: is there documentation or a tutorial anywhere that you know of? | 17:35 |
| Yugnoswam | pradeep: I would but the disc drive on my laptop only supports CD's. It's a rather old laptop from about 1999... I should probably get round to replacing that drive... | 17:36 |
| zvrk | Yugnoswam, ok when you boot you have option for bios if not try f12 | 17:36 |
| pradeep | Yugnoswam, oh then that is the issue now... lmao you cant expect to run a dvd on a cd rom | 17:37 |
| Yugnoswam | zvrk: yes. I have already said that my Bios boot settings are correct. CD ROM/HARD DISK/NETWORK/REMOVABLE | 17:37 |
| mike213 | mbeier1: actually that link looks like it contains everything i need | 17:37 |

| mouka | but my commands do not terminate | 17:39 |
| Yugnoswam | zvrk: what do you mean on one place? | 17:39 |
| mouka | meaning I don't get to go back to the shell after the command has completed | 17:39 |
| mouka | anybody knows why? | 17:39 |
| mike213 | mbeier: well with those links it looks like i should be able to get it up and running, i won't have time today though; any more tips? | 17:40 |

| shcherbak | mouka: what is last command? | 17:40 |
| mouka | I used the following: mkfifo my_pipe | 17:41 |
| zvrk | Yugnoswam, your pbell have recovery dvds | 17:41 |
| mouka | then I tried this command: ls -l > my_pipe | 17:41 |
| mouka | the ls command does not exit | 17:41 |
| mouka | I had to use ctrl+c to terminate it | 17:41 |

| julia_23 | llutz: does | equate "and" ? | 18:14 |
| naptastic | Storm_Shadow, the easiest way when you're dealing with a laptop is to buy a larger laptop hard drive and an external drive enclosure, install the new hard drive, partition it the way you want it, and then copy the data over. | 18:14 |
| GHH | mbeierl, sun-java6-jre will execute all java applications? | 18:15 |
| Storm_Shadow | I have an external hard drive | 18:15 |
| llutz | julia_23: no, its a pipe, giving output from the lefthand-command to input of the righthand command | 18:15 |
| naptastic | Storm_Shadow, if you can't offload the contents of your current hard drive to another, it limits your options; but depending on what you want to do, that might not be a problem. | 18:15 |
| naptastic | Storm_Shadow, what are you trying to do, exactly? | 18:15 |

| soreau | Storm_Shadow: You're not making much sense. You don't need to install windows to use wine | 18:16 |
| julia_23 | I think this should do it | 18:17 |

| mbeierl | GHH: two choices then: 1) removed iced tea, or 2) use update-java-alternatives to point to the Sun one by default. | 18:40 |

| Slydder1 | atm am working on a squeeze install on another laptop until I have time to reinstall my desktop | 18:40 |
| Xenith_ | Even putting the desktop CD iso in the same folder won't force it to use 10.01 | 18:41 |

| Xenith_ | 10.10* | 18:41 |
| GHH | mbeierl, which will be easy and harmless | 18:41 |
| Xenith_ | Are there command line arguments that I can pass to wubi to force an ISO? | 18:41 |
| Slydder1 | thesheff17_: that's not the point. the point is the ubuntu has a broken pptp-linux/ppp and that makes it unusable for my company. which I find rather sad. I like ubu. way better updates on average. | 18:41 |

| undecim | naptastic: I see nothing wrong here... The best reason I can explain the sudden stop without errors is that it's waiting on the NFS server. | 18:44 |

| Slydder1 | thesheff17_: a bug has been filed a while back regarding the issue. noone has fixed it though. and ubuntu is not the only distro with this problem. | 18:46 |
| Guest88895 | xangua, yeah but will it work with Netflix? Probably not. Unless there was some sort of masking that could take place | 18:46 |
| Slydder1 | debian avoided it by staying with 2.4.4 of ppp instead of upgrading to 2.4.5 | 18:46 |
| naptastic | Slydder1, would it work for you to compile a version that works on your own? | 18:46 |

| farisk | nishttal2, not too sure. Try looking in /var/log | 19:25 |
| FireSam | how do i delete the bluetooth | 19:26 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: How can you be assured? | 19:26 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Because we reinstalled it and it reconfigured | 19:26 |
| Encrypte2 | Hi does anyone know how to reset the camera position in Alien Arena? It's stuck looking towards ceiling, ive tried google for answer no luck, using Ubuntu 10.10 | 19:26 |
| soreau | FireSam: I have no idea. But if you need to load a module use modprobe (you can unload bluetooth module with modprobe -r too) | 19:26 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Hmm... ok I'll soon find out.. okay, now in chroot with su -eda | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Wow has freenode been upgraded? I logged in, in under 5 seconds | 19:26 |
| KnifeySpooney | soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/555917/ . I have had recurrent problems with my GPU hanging, though before it was only after running intense 3d applications. I just now upgraded to xorg-edgers with the new intel driver (i915) and now my drivers are borked. | 19:26 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: THat's actually an error in the article... it should be grub-pc... But like I said it already reconfigured when it was installed | 19:26 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: su - eda | 19:27 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Now you should see "eda@something$" | 19:27 |
| naptastic | undecim, I'd never used Wireshark before. Holy crap it's cool!!! Anyway, I can see that there is a bunch of NFS traffic going between my client and server, looking things up, accessing things... | 19:27 |
| sl33k_ | naptastic: | 19:27 |
| n2diy | Can you do a dual boot install with the alternate CD? | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Encrypte2: home or end maybe? Something in that block | 19:27 |

| user82 | evening. i have samsung netbook(n150 endi plus) and when i use the "FN" and brightness up down keys a bar pops up but nothing happens to the real brightness. as long as im in bios it works but as soon as grub starts it is over. does anyone have any idea? | 19:28 |
| thesheff17_ | n2diy: yes it should detect other operating systems during partitioning and installing grub. | 19:28 |
| naptastic | sl33k_, when I had this problem there was a doc file I found that contained a bunch of solutions for different laptops. I'm trying to find that file... | 19:28 |
| KM0201 | n2diy: of course | 19:28 |
| b0ot | Anyone know how to use tune2fs to change UUID's so I don't have duplicate UUIDS on my paritions? | 19:28 |
| sl33k_ | naptastic: alright | 19:28 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: Well that shows no problems. Apparently it's using wrong libGL or something. Can you pastebin the output of 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo'? | 19:29 |
| n2diy | thesheff17_, KM0201, cool, how about with Xubuntu? | 19:29 |
| KM0201 | n2diy: of course... | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | KnifeySpooney: xorg edgers is very experimental. It stresses this on the ppa page.... | 19:29 |
| undecim | b0ot: tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXY | 19:29 |
| KnifeySpooney | ActionParsnip, I know. It's worth trying to figure out the cause of problems, though, before I revert helplessly. | 19:29 |
| n2diy | KM0201, cool, I helping someone install over the phone! | 19:29 |
| KM0201 | n2diy: some may find the alt. cd a little more intimidating, i personally don't, but that is something to consider | 19:29 |
| b0ot | undecim, can changing the UUID hurt anything? | 19:29 |
| undecim | b0ot: Only if other things depend on that UUID... for example, don't do this to / or /boot | 19:30 |
| n2diy | KM0201, roger that. | 19:30 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Oh.. yes its working with those errors but still I see the ,desktop file and the readme txt file to decrypt it... my initial question ...... | 19:30 |
| b0ot | undecim, should you only change the UUID of drives non mounted drives? | 19:30 |
| Sub_Zero | When trying to connect to Tinychat on 10.04 I always get a 'connection failed check your network and proxy settings' error. | 19:30 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: and also the output of 'xrandr' | 19:30 |
| KM0201 | n2diy: have they installed ubuntu before? | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | KnifeySpooney: i'd read /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:30 |
| === andygraybea is now known as andygraybeal | ||
| undecim | b0ot: AFAIK, changing the UUID of an already mounted drive shouldn't hurt anything, unless something else depends on the UUID | 19:31 |
| b0ot | undecim, my problem is that which drive gets mounted to / changes every time I restart no matter what I put in the bios | 19:31 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: I already had him pastebin that, there is no error there | 19:31 |

| amh345 | hi giys, i want to do a fresh install of ubuntu server. my machine currently has a version of ubuntu already on it. is there a way i can download and install on the same computer without having to download any cd/usb .isos? | 19:31 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Lets try a diferent approach | 19:31 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Close the chroot... | 19:31 |
| KnifeySpooney | soreau, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/555921/ (xrandr) | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: ok cool :-) | 19:31 |
| n2diy | KM0201, can you test drive the alt. CD? | 19:31 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Then? | 19:32 |
| KM0201 | n2diy: no, it is a 100% text installer | 19:32 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: In a new terminal, type "sudo adduser eda" | 19:32 |
| kaasinees | Heya, how come fans are running at full speed? asus motherboard. | 19:32 |
| n2diy | KM0201, roger that, thanks. | 19:32 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: And make sure you use the same password | 19:32 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: It even asked me for passphrase for opening it when in chroot I typed ecryptfs-mount-private | 19:32 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: ok | 19:32 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: I can't really tell what's wrong but since you're using xorg-edgers I'd have to say ppa-purge it and revert to the official ubuntu drivers | 19:32 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: What will that thing do? | 19:33 |
| UbuntuCD | undecim: Won't it overwrite and I may loose data? | 19:33 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Now, find eda's encrypted home directory.. should be /media/UUID/home/ | 19:33 |
| === gaurav_ is now known as Guest37102 | ||
| b0ot | undecim, so just making sure this is the correct format ==> sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sda1 | 19:33 |
| undecim | b0ot: Looks good to me | 19:33 |
| b0ot | where random is the actual text random | 19:33 |
| undecim | b0ot: yes | 19:33 |
| b0ot | sweet | 19:34 |
| b0ot | thanks | 19:34 |
| undecim | b0ot: see man tune2fs for more info | 19:34 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: You can also try to reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx | 19:34 |
| Encrypte2 | ActionParsnip: i fixed it, you have to add set in_dgamouse 0 in the Alien Arena config :D | 19:34 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: And we will bind that to /home/eda on the live cd: sudo mount --bind /media/UUID/home/eda /home/eda | 19:34 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: Try reinstalling it and rerun glxinfo | 19:34 |
| KnifeySpooney | soreau, okay, and do I need to reboot after reinstalling? | 19:35 |
| Guest37102 | i am using 9.04 but its graphics is not working extra effects could not enabled ... i am using 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 10c3 (rev a2) | 19:35 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: no | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | KnifeySpooney: you may need an xorg. conf file to maybe tame the driver by manually setting options | 19:35 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: No he doesn't | 19:35 |
| undecim | UbuntuCD: Then, you should be able to run "sudo -u nobody su - eda", type in the password, and the home directory is unlocked | 19:35 |

| YouKay | A quick question, guys. In a root shell, if I give "sudo aptitude get update && sudo aptitude get upgrade && sudo poweroff", will it automatically switch off the computer after the updates are over | 19:36 |

| ubottu | Guest37102, please see my private message | 19:36 |
| KM0201 | Guest37102: most likely the problem is you're using a device that is much newer than the OS> | 19:36 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: I guess the intel drivers are just broken ATM. complain in #intel-gfx or #xorg-edger | 19:37 |
| rumpe1 | YouKay, if upgrade runs fast enough so you don't have to enter password again... and there are no errors: yes. | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Soreau: it could. Its worth entertaining if time is a luxury rather than simply dismissing it | 19:37 |
| KnifeySpooney | soreau, sounds good. Thanks a bunch for the help anyways! | 19:37 |

| Pici | YouKay: Likely not. Three things: 1) If you're already in a root shell you don't need sudo. 2) aptitude get upgrade isn't a valid command. 3) apt-get upgrade or aptitude upgrade will ask for confirmation before it does anything, so it will 'hang' on that step while it waits for input. See apt-get or aptitude's man page for the proper arguments to bypass that. | 19:38 |

| ActionParsnip | Youkay: in a "root shell" you don't need sudo | 19:38 |
| soreau | KnifeySpooney: Since your X log looks ok, it's possible it's just a userspace issue but if removing/reinstalling libgl1-mesa-glx doesn't work, not really sure what's wrong with it | 19:38 |

| davewilly | what's the easiest way to disable firewall/iptables on ubuntu | 19:56 |
| _Deko_ | ae rapaziada do planeta | 19:56 |
| davewilly | everytime I log on I have to do half dozen iptable -t nat -F commands.. | 19:56 |
| nishttal2 | erUSUL, i have a ton of http://www.fpaste.org/XC0d/ in syslog .. from 9:45 to 1:40 pm when the server rebooted | 19:56 |
| davewilly | it's on a localnetwork, no net access so security no issue | 19:56 |
| soreau | joeblow_: You should try it for only one session as a test. In the grub splash screen, press 'e' after selecting your boot entry then append the option to the end of the kernel/linux line (for example, ro quiet splash radeon.modeset=0) then press Ctrl+X to boot with that option | 19:57 |
| joeblow_ | got it, thanks... ill give it a shot | 19:57 |
| erUSUL | nishttal2: that looks like information from the mail server, nothing critical there afaik | 19:57 |
| erUSUL | nishttal2: what about messages? | 19:57 |
| nishttal2 | erUSUL, but it kept trying to send email to that one adress the whole day | 19:58 |

| JackyAlcine | And SeeQue: you'd have to edit permissions in the global groups. | 20:16 |
| JackyAlcine | SeeQue: you should put everyone under a certain group 'automount' and allow them access to mount and unmount drives. | 20:16 |

| rdg | what's the best way to configure the firewall from the command line? | 20:26 |
| Gryphon_ | it enters into grub> screen | 20:26 |
| ayecee | rdg: I don't know what the best way is, but using ufw might be the easiest. | 20:26 |
| erUSUL | !ufw | rdg | 20:26 |
| ubottu | rdg: 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. | 20:26 |
| gohan_ | @rdg: using iptables is a good way, but not the easiest. | 20:27 |
| Gryphon_ | @gohan_ it goes to grub> menu.... even when I reboot | 20:27 |
| Ed_Money | how can I use cat to add lines to an existing file through standard input? | 20:27 |
| Pici | nuno__: And? Thats not the default behavior, did you change any group permissions for yourself or www-data or the permissions on /var/www? | 20:27 |
| gohan_ | @gryphon: just "grub>"? | 20:27 |
| Mjiig | Ed_Money: command >> file | 20:28 |

| cesar10 | hi , some1 , speak spanish | 20:28 |
| JackyAlcine | cesar10: #ubuntu-es | 20:28 |
| Gryphon_ | i think it does not get boot image in the disk where it searches for... | 20:28 |
| erUSUL | Ed_Money: probably « cat >> file <<EOF » | 20:28 |
| gohan_ | @cesar10: si. | 20:28 |
| erUSUL | gohan_: cat wont work in a string | 20:28 |
| Gryphon_ | how can i define boot image? | 20:29 |
| gohan_ | @erUSUL: righ , I meant echo... | 20:29 |
| Pici | !es | cesar10 | 20:29 |
| ubottu | cesar10: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 20:29 |
| erUSUL | Ed_Money: then yu writte the lines. when you want to exit type EOF in its own line | 20:29 |
| erUSUL | Ed_Money: but if it is only a line or two echo or printf are better | 20:30 |
| gohan_ | @ed_monkey: use it as @erusul is saying | 20:30 |
| Ed_Money | erUSUL: easy enuf, thanks | 20:30 |
| nuno__ | Pici: usually I always have to type sudo before to create any files at /var/www/ | 20:31 |
| Scunizi | gohan_: what's with the @ symbol before nicks.. is that used on other systems to highlight? | 20:31 |
| mbeierl | for anyone else out there who can't stand the dell E6410 touchpad not being recognized as a touchpad and therefore configurable: sudo modprobe -r psmouse will disable it like a brute-force syndaemon | 20:31 |
| Pici | nuno__: Normally /var/www/ should be owned by www-data:www-data | 20:31 |
| gohan_ | @scunizi: not really, it's a way to say "this msg is for username" | 20:32 |
| Gryphon_ | gohan_ when I select ubuntu to boot, then it enters into grub prompt | 20:32 |
| Scunizi | nuno__: if you are a memeber of www-data that might explain it. | 20:32 |
| gohan_ | @gryphon: try this "find /boot/stage1" | 20:33 |
| chaospsychex | is there a way to see the MAC address of a broadcasted wifi conection? | 20:33 |
| Jordan_U | Gryphon_: Did you install Ubuntu from within windows (wubi)? | 20:34 |
| Scunizi | gohan_: hummm... just having the nick at the beginning here will hilight the message for the intended recepiant .. however if the nick is in the body of the message it typically doesn't.. just FYI | 20:34 |
| nuno__ | Pici: http://pastebin.com/J6DFiVVr | 20:34 |
| nuno__ | later the same operations fails | 20:34 |
| Gryphon_ | nope, dual boot with windows | 20:34 |
| gohan_ | scunizi: got it. thx! | 20:34 |
| Scunizi | gohan_: np :) | 20:34 |
| ayecee | chaospsychex: I guess that would be the BSSID? | 20:35 |
| Scunizi | just as a test did this hilight you @gohan_ ?? | 20:35 |
| Gryphon_ | and when there is screen to choose whether boot from ubuntu or windows, i chose ubuntu and then it comes up with grub prompt | 20:35 |
| dougl | what is the application for viewing pdf files? | 20:35 |
| Pici | nuno__: What does ls -ld /var/www say? | 20:35 |

| mbeierl | dougl: acroread or evince | 20:35 |
| gohan_ | scunizi: no it doesn't, but looks nice LOL :) | 20:35 |
| Gryphon_ | @gohan_ find does not work with grub prompt | 20:35 |
| dougl | mbeierl, thanks | 20:36 |
| ayecee | chaospsychex: I'd think you could do it with iwlist, but I don't see an easy way to show it offhand.. | 20:36 |
| mbeierl | dougl: np. acroread is from the partner repos, though | 20:36 |
| ayecee | chaospsychex: what do you need it for? | 20:36 |
| chaospsychex | ayecee: working on a project | 20:36 |

| ayecee | iwlist scanning should try all the interfaces | 20:41 |
| JPL2 | dont care | 20:41 |
| chaospsychex | it's saying that the interfaces don't support scanning | 20:41 |
| ayecee | iwlist eth1 scanning will try just one interface | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | amh345: do not know of any way of doing what you want | 20:41 |
| chaospsychex | said interface doesn't support scanning | 20:41 |

| Jordan_U | Gryphon_: How did you install Ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| Gryphon_ | and when i do boot then no loaded kernel is the output | 20:42 |

| sah1 | having converted to linux last week, i'm still learning how things work here. i've downloaded a program in a tar ball and the archive manager wants to know where i want to extract it. where do i want to extract it? there isn't exactly a "programs" directory as there was in windows. | 20:43 |
| Paulo39 | erUSUL, in there, there are nothing about scroll :s | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | sah1: What program are you actually trying to install? | 20:43 |
| sah1 | XnView | 20:43 |
| ayecee | sah1: extracting it isn't the same as installing it, so you can extract it in your home directory and review the contents. | 20:43 |
| erUSUL | sah1: if you are new do not install anything from tarballs. just use the ubuntu software center | 20:43 |
| Gryphon_ | Jordan_U it is my friends computer, and he has no idea of it... | 20:43 |
| ayecee | chaospsychex: are you using ubuntu? I thought all drivers were using iwtools now. | 20:44 |
| sah1 | i checked the software center, but it couldn't find this prog. checking again | 20:44 |
| chaospsychex | yeah i'm on ubuntu 10.10 | 20:44 |
| erUSUL | chaospsychex: tryv « sudo ifconfig eth1 up » or wlan0 or eth0 or whatever | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | Gryphon_: Then your friend probably installed Ubuntu from within windows using wubi. I would recommend that you re-install Ubuntu in a normal dual boot configuration. | 20:44 |
| gohan_ | gryphon: Was the Ubuntu installation successful? | 20:44 |
| chaospsychex | ok one sec | 20:44 |
| erUSUL | sah1: what program are you trying to install ? | 20:45 |

| chaospsychex | sudo ifconfig eth1 up < what does this command do? | 20:46 |
| chaospsychex | when i typed it in it just returned to a new command line, with no output | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | sah1: the photomanagers aviable in ubuntu are not good enough? | 20:46 |
| ayecee | chaospsychex: it activates the eth1 interface. see if iwlist works now. | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | chaospsychex: try scanning now « sudo iwlist eth1 can » | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | sah1: i personally use gthumb; you have f-spot too and the default shotwell | 20:47 |
| sah1 | erUSUL: i used irfanView a lot on windows and this basically is generic version. that's why i gravited to it. | 20:47 |
| chaospsychex | still says interface doesnt support scanning | 20:47 |
| chaospsychex | brb though | 20:47 |
| sah1 | erUSUL: okay, thanks. i'm checking those out now | 20:47 |
| chaospsychex | hang tight | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | sah1: try gthumb | 20:47 |
| sah1 | brb | 20:47 |
| majnoon__ | sah1 can look at sf.net or freshmeat.net for programs also but most of thouse ARE source | 20:47 |
| Gryphon_ | gohan_ yeah | 20:47 |
| nuno__ | Pici: so I belong to root, but not www-data | 20:47 |
| Gryphon_ | and i had updated it too... after update, it had to be rebooted... and then it stopped, and entered into grub prompt | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | sah1: The first place you should look for programs in Ubuntu is Applications > Ubuntu Software Center | 20:48 |
| sah1 | jordan: okay. when should i consider tar balls? | 20:49 |
| Gryphon_ | gohan_ in grub prompt, when I do ls it gives partitions, and when I try root (hd0, x), then it shows ntfs for three among four, and the fourth is not recognized | 20:49 |
| majnoon__ | i agree with Jordan_U for FIRST place | 20:49 |
| JPL2 | bah humbug | 20:49 |
| Jordan_U | Gryphon_: Are there any important files in the Ubuntu installation yet or is this basically a fresh install? | 20:49 |
| Gryphon_ | it is fresh install | 20:50 |
| Gryphon_ | Jordan_U: it is fresh one... | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | Gryphon_: Boot into windows, remove Wubi with Window's Add/Remove programs, then boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD and install Ubuntu normally. | 20:50 |
| gohan_ | gryphon: Can he re-install it? | 20:51 |
| KipMacy | does Ubuntu 10.10 support btrfs in /boot ? | 20:51 |
| sah1 | nice, i like gthumb. thanks. cheers | 20:51 |
| gohan_ | gryphon: basically is what jordan_u is saying. I think is the best at this point. | 20:51 |

| chaospsychex | is there an alternative driver i can install that will support all features of my wifi card or does my wifi card just not support 'scanning' ? | 20:52 |
| KipMacy | so i should make /boot ext4, and everything else btrfs ? | 20:52 |

| dr4g | Any decent lib that handles file uploads ? | 20:52 |

| erUSUL | dr4g: libcurl? | 20:52 |
| Gryphon_ | @Jordan_U and gohan_: so the solution is re-installation?? I think the problem is with that partition of disk at the moment | 20:53 |

| mbeierl | rdg: is the .php file +x permission? | 20:54 |
| iceroot | is there a command/script to adjust the display-brightness (gnome)? | 20:54 |
| Gryphon_ | thank you @Jordan_U and gohan_ I am going to re-install.... | 20:54 |
| Jordan_U | Gryphon_: The problem is a serious bug in the wubi installer that you have hit because you told wubi to store its files in a partition other than C:, which currently fails completely and without warning. It's a terrible situation, you can avoid it by telling wubi to install to "C:" but it's best to just do a normal install. | 20:54 |

| Jordan_U | chaospsychex: I meant does it have an option other than the sta driver. | 21:34 |
| Scunizi | rww: do you know if that deletes the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/<Files> | 21:34 |
| erUSUL | jenny_: wellcome | 21:34 |
| derek_ | hi, i want to display the current screen brightness through a shell script | 21:34 |
| rww | Scunizi: nope, just /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ | 21:34 |
| Yugnoswam | Mathuin: no, it was fine to install as it was. made into a bootable usb stick | 21:34 |
| derek_ | this is a hack since it doesn't work out of the box | 21:34 |
| jenny_ | thank you erURUL feeling a bit lost | 21:35 |
| Mathuin | Yugnoswam: use the startup disk widget, then. That has yet to fail me. | 21:35 |

| smthomas | erUSUL: thanks I am going to try installing it now | 21:35 |
| gohan_ | derek: what is the problem? | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | Yugnoswam: How did you make it into a bootable USB stick? What tool did you use? | 21:36 |
| jenny_ | it seems so, all very technically minded | 21:36 |
| Infection-- | Hi, I have a bug with my ZTE MF636+ 3G modem, Ubuntu 10.10 detects it _very_ slow | 21:36 |

| Scunizi | rww: can I delete everything in /var/log without issue? | 21:37 |
| derek_ | gohan_: I have googled and found a way to manually pipe my desired screen brightness into a "sys-file" | 21:37 |

| derek_ | gohan_: as the brightness keyboard shortcut doesn't work out of the box | 21:37 |
| Mathuin | jenny_: this is the official support channel, so conversation will naturally be of a technical nature. I believe there are chat channels for more social purposes. | 21:37 |

| ttarvai | hi there, can you help me with rerouting my audio output to my microphone socket? my green jack is broken, i'd like to listen to music via the michrophone jack. | 21:41 |
| gohan_ | derek: Ok, got it. What you want is a script to change the brightness via terminal and use notify to see the result, right? | 21:41 |
| Scunizi | rww: nope.. just trying to free space in root.. it's almost maxed at 10 gig and the system is slowing.. I'm trying to figure out where all that space is being taken up | 21:41 |
| mbeierl | Infection--: some of those usb modems are also disks that contain the installation software for os's like windows where you need drivers for everything. so it might be that it first mounts as a storage device then needs to remount as the modem. at least that's the way my ZTE modem worked when I had one a year or two back | 21:42 |

| Jordan_U | Yugnoswam: Try using "Universal USB installer" as explained on the Ubuntu download page: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download If that fails the same way there are other options, but they require much more manual setup. | 21:44 |
| mbeierl | Infection--: sorry - it was two years ago and I don't have it anymore :( | 21:44 |
| jPuff | i have mounted an iso and need to run a shell from the iso | 21:44 |
| derek_ | gohan_: yeah. now i've got the script working (acpi) and fn+ f5 and f6 are bound to the brightness up and down events. so it works. But since this happens on a very low level, it doesn't display the notififation. Just though it would be cool if it was possible to do something like notify-event and display the current brightness setting... | 21:44 |

| relix | I have a problem with nautilus: when I mount a directory using sshfs (fuse), and open it through nautilus, and browsing through nautilus to a specific folder, it suddenly gets stuck, a lot of bandwidth is used, and my server's load increases hugely (apparently a lot of iowait) | 21:45 |
| ttarvai | any idea how to listen to music via the microphone jack? | 21:46 |
| relix | there is nothing special about that directory, but another directory that's a sibling contains a huge number of files - however, I am not opening that one | 21:46 |
| relix | I can only stop the load on my server by restarting the client (or unplugging it obviously) | 21:46 |

| derek_ | gohan_: forgot to add. I would like it to look like the real deal (with the icon and the bar etc) | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | Condorito: if you used the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-19.29.run you have to reinstall it everytime there is a kernel or and xserver upgrade | 21:47 |

| ayecee | TeslaTony: what happens when you try? | 21:49 |
| gohan_ | derek: what you want is use gauge and the script that you already have. | 21:49 |
| Condorito | Thnx. Yes there was. I reinstalled from shell, but still acting funny. I will try again. | 21:49 |

| Jordan_U | ttarvai: Infection--: There is some hardware which can do this, simply because it's cheaper to make all the jacks the same and differentiate in software then make two different types of component (Most older iPods for instance can record via the headphone jack when using linux/rockbox, even if the standard iPod firmware doesn't allow it). Unfortunately I don't know how such a thing would be configured :( | 21:58 |

| ayecee | ouch. data recovery can be tedious. | 22:58 |
| yoram | snake__ I have this installed: gpointing-device-settings | 22:58 |
| tehbaut | yeah, drive must be really bad | 22:59 |
| Nox2k3 | ayecee: Honestly, I can't recall at the moment | 22:59 |

| wiw | total noob here, i've downloaded the java JDK and the android SDK and I don't know how to install neither... | 22:59 |
| yoram | snake__ it worked after I installed that one, but when I restart the problem is ther again | 22:59 |
| greppy | drpi: for now :) | 22:59 |
| drpi | greppy: well, I got the same error with CD in | 23:00 |

| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 23:00 |
| snake__ | yoram, so maybe you can tell it in the settings not to turn off you keyboard and mouse while you use your trackpad, that's what I do with my laptop. :) | 23:00 |
| greppy | drpi: at this point, I'm not sure what the problem is then, sorry. | 23:00 |
| wiw | the android SDK comes with an executable shell script file which I don't know how to run | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | wiw: ./scriptname | 23:01 |
| yoram | snake__ i am looking for the application, but cannot find it! I will have a look when I find it but i think I set the settings to what you just said | 23:02 |
| Nox2k3 | Anyone know where I can find information on properly creating these partitions? | 23:02 |
| snake__ | can you write a basic script, and run it in terminal? | 23:02 |
| wiw | erUSUL: i'm sorry, you'll have to be a little more specific. (i prefaced with 'total noob here') | 23:02 |
| KM0201 | Nox2k3: what do you want to know/ | 23:02 |
| snake__ | yoram, try typing that command in terminal.: gpointing-device-settings | 23:02 |
| Idol_Mind | does anyone know how to calibrate a wacom bamboo tablet in 10.10 x64? I can't find a good guide on xinput. | 23:03 |
| drpi | greppy: no problem. the CD does spin, but nothing else happens. It has always done that though | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | wiw: if you are in the same directory as the script is you just have to type « ./scriptname » and hit enter to make it run | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | wiw: maybe it does not have executable permissions; you can give them to it « chmod +x scriptname » | 23:03 |
| yoram | snake__ of course, I forgot to use the command line, yes it opened, le me see the settings | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | wiw: all of this in a terminal window | 23:04 |

| yoram | snake__ there are no settings there but to use the emulations of the middle button and wheel | 23:04 |
| wiw | erUSUL: and how do i install a download that comes in a .bin file? | 23:05 |
| Nox2k3 | KM0201: I'd like to create a partition table that leaves enough room for grub2 at the start of the drive | 23:06 |
| snake__ | yoram: so when the trackpad is on you can't use your mouse? if you can, then I don't see a point in turning off the trackpad. | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | wiw: same procedure... | 23:06 |
| === jwkokc is now known as jk_ | ||
| erUSUL | wiw: what are you installing | 23:06 |

| jsebean | anybody ever setup a bridge on ubuntu? | 23:06 |
| wiw | the JDK | 23:06 |
| yoram | snake__ one moment | 23:06 |

| jsebean | now is Internet Connection sharing like bridge | 23:07 |

| juven | hi can someone helpe with a issue | 23:09 |
| hermes | sorry partitions | 23:09 |
| jrib | juven: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 23:09 |
| jsebean | maybe in ubuntu | 23:09 |
| juven | i have server 10.10 | 23:09 |
| hermes | what is the issue? | 23:09 |
| Wiesshund | Yes because if you do, its easier to reinstall etc and not lose personal stuff and settings | 23:09 |
| Nox2k3 | KM0201: That's what I'm trying to do, but it complains it doesn't have enough space on the MBR | 23:09 |
| jsebean | but if so what is the point of bridge-utils | 23:09 |
| hermes | how would we know to help without know the issue ;) | 23:09 |
| juven | i installed desktop package so i have some gui | 23:09 |
| juven | but i want remote access to it | 23:09 |
| wiw | erUSUL: when i type ./file.bin i'm getting a 'permission denied' even though i tried it after sudo -i as well... | 23:09 |
| KM0201 | Nox2k3: my point is, you don't create a partition for it, it goes there automatically | 23:09 |
| juven | cant get it i checked in system | 23:09 |
| snake__ | juven, you mean ssh? | 23:09 |
| jrib | juven: please take your time and write your question on a single line (don't press enter) | 23:09 |
| juven | noo | 23:09 |
| juven | mstsc | 23:09 |
| juven | remote desktop | 23:10 |
| yoram | snake__ I will reproduce the problem, because i do not remember if it is when I switch it off or on that the problem appears, which means that I will have to restart the x-server and exit this chat | 23:10 |
| KM0201 | Nox2k3: the mbr, is not a partition | 23:10 |
| jrib | juven: stop pressing enter | 23:10 |
| greppy | jsebean: I asked what kind of bridge you were trying to setup because people sometimes think of connection sharing as bridgeing. | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | wiw: chomod +x file.bin | 23:10 |
| hermes | have u formatted the hard drive? | 23:10 |
| jrib | juven: do you just want a remote shell or gui? | 23:10 |

| orlando_ | rtorrent-color | 23:11 |
| jsebean | Here's how it should work: I have a wireless router, Ubuntu connects to the router via wireless and I want to bridge the wireless to the ethernet port so I can connect the ubuntu computer to other computers to access the internet | 23:11 |
| snake__ | can you write a BASIC script (like on the apple IIe), and run it in terminal? | 23:11 |
| hermes | hehe | 23:11 |
| wiw | erUSUL: thanks, that did it! | 23:11 |

| greppy | jsebean: so you do want network connection sharing, not a br0 interface. | 23:12 |
| KM0201 | good_intentions: don't think so, i think you'd have to boot a cd | 23:12 |
| fix3r | how can I use that? | 23:12 |
| snake__ | good_intentions, heh... installing windows after linux huh? | 23:12 |
| hermes | use gparted and make a seperate partition for it | 23:12 |
| fix3r | It's my first time | 23:12 |
| fix3r | LOL | 23:12 |
| jrib | snake__: try gambas | 23:12 |
| jsebean | in windows internet connection sharing only works if the computer you are setting it up on connects directly | 23:12 |
| Wiesshund | good_intentions windows prefers to be installed first, or it makes booting wacked | 23:13 |
| jsebean | unless someone can confirm that ubuntu is different? | 23:13 |
| good_intentions | snake__ , hahaha I just need it to run a new game | 23:13 |
| greppy | jsebean: I have used my laptop to share a wireless connection to my desktop before. | 23:13 |
| hermes | good_intentions: hes right :) | 23:13 |
| jsebean | with ubuntu? | 23:13 |
| snake__ | okay well, I'm not aware of a way to do that, but... your going to have to mess around with grub.. and it's tedious... | 23:14 |
| greppy | jsebean: I didn't bother with getting DHCP passed through it, and used a different network for the desktop/laptop link. | 23:14 |
| greppy | jsebean: with ubuntu | 23:14 |
| jsebean | so I would want to use Internet Connection sharing | 23:14 |
| Nox2k3 | Sigh, while trying to generate the error message grub gave me "grub-install /dev/sdd" just seg faults now. | 23:14 |

| greppy | jsebean: that is my /etc/network/interfaces, sharing the eth0 with eth1, eth0 = wired, eth1 = wireless | 23:15 |
| hermes | that it does | 23:15 |
| jsebean | ok, i would have to do that the other way around, share wireless with wired but i "think" i can do that ;) | 23:16 |
| yoram | snake__ snake? | 23:16 |
| jsebean | if not i'll be back :P | 23:16 |

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. | 23:38 |
