| sum1nil | hi, is it very hard to get mono 2.8 after removing 2.6 | 00:01 |
| Hilarie | v3x right click on it | 00:01 |
| Zaelyx | Hilarie: you can also use Mediatomb to stream uPnP | 00:01 |
| rusty149 | BlueBomber7: Try sudo ls -la | 00:01 |
| V3X | alright | 00:01 |
| V3X | next | 00:02 |
| Hilarie | And that would allow the user on the other side to access the media on the ubuntu system? | 00:02 |
| BlueBomber7 | rusty149: That's the command I use. | 00:02 |
| MagusOTB | does gnome-term save bash history anywhere other than ~/.bash_history? I just did something dumb and need to get rid of it. | 00:02 |
| V3X | wtf? | 00:02 |
| Zaelyx | Hilarie: It's like media player in windows 7 sharing, shows up and you can access the shared files, I've used it in the past, it works well. | 00:02 |
| Hilarie | That's awesome, 2 solutions to try | 00:02 |
| V3X | nvm | 00:03 |
| V3X | got it | 00:03 |
| V3X | thanks | 00:03 |
| rusty149 | BlueBomber7: whats the folder path? your home, network drive, removable storage, system folder? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | MagusOTB: thats all, if you delete the file and close all terminals, you will make a new file | 00:03 |
| Zaelyx | Hilarie: I use it to stream to my PS3, which I couldnt figure out how to do any other way. | 00:03 |
| MagusOTB | ActionParsnip: Okay, cool. Thanks. | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | MagusOTB: or if you edit the file you can delete the line, your call | 00:04 |

| xil | anyone know what the default battery monitor is for ubuntu? I'm trying to get cli output regarding my remaining battery life | 00:08 |
| sysop3 | it gets a new pid so it does something, | 00:08 |
| sum1nil | mmm... not familiar with it. what does whereis say? | 00:08 |
| jrib | sysop3: if there are open connections, I believe so | 00:08 |
| rusty149 | sysop3: yes | 00:08 |
| sysop3 | how can I kill all open connections? | 00:08 |
| rusty149 | sysop3: use /sshd stop | 00:08 |
| Hilarie | whereis? | 00:09 |
| sysop3 | /etc/init.d/sshd stop? | 00:09 |
| sum1nil | there is a 'killall XXXX' command should close connections | 00:09 |
| sysop3 | I do but it reopens with a new id | 00:09 |
| sum1nil | like 'killall smuxi' | 00:09 |
| sysop3 | I had a hacker crack a password on a non privledged account and was running perl. | 00:10 |
| sysop3 | I deleted the user and home files but I cant get this sshd to stop running. | 00:10 |
| sysop3 | am I paranoid or is it just me. I stopped ssh at the firewall they arent getting in that way. | 00:11 |
| sum1nil | kill -9 and the pid | 00:11 |
| sysop3 | i do but a new pid gets created. | 00:11 |
| sum1nil | oh | 00:11 |
| gmg | Does anyone now how to receive calls to a USB 3G modem with sim card? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sysop3: use sudo to kill it | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | gmg: run: lsusb websearch the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 00:12 |
| sysop3 | I do. its gets a new pid because its getting killed and restarting. killing it more wont help | 00:12 |
| sum1nil | sounds good, kill -9 pid | 00:12 |
| sum1nil | opps sudo kill -9 | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sysop3: remove it from rc.d and then reboot | 00:12 |
| jrib | kill -9 sounds like a horrible idea. | 00:12 |

| tyler_d | I am running 10.10 64bit and am trying to configure openvpn, however need to set a static ip for my connection, where is the config file please? | 00:12 |
| sum1nil | why | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: is it the IP for the VPN link? | 00:12 |
| xil | someone know a battery monitor for Ubuntu 10.10? The default one is fine, I just need to know it's cli name | 00:13 |
| jrib | sysop3: kill the user's shell that's using ssh | 00:13 |
| KM0201 | tyler_d: wouldn't it be eaier to set that through your router? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | xil: acpi -v or maybe acpi -V | 00:13 |
| sysop3 | I rebooted he is not on the box any more. | 00:13 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: its not the gateway, I have been assigned a static ip by the admin | 00:13 |
| sysop3 | he was connecting from china and romina | 00:13 |
| furi | Jordan_U: tried aoss to no avail | 00:13 |
| xil | actionparsnip: don't have acpi. I can get, should I? | 00:13 |
| sysop3 | but my question is, is it normal for ssh to restart like that automatically after I kill or stop it? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: if you right click nm-applet -> edit connections you can edit the link and set a static IP | 00:14 |
| steven_ | hi - i m a complete moron can any1 tell me how to run a printer driver i have downloaded from terminal using the sudo command? | 00:14 |
| jrib | sysop3: if you don't want ssh to start automatically, you can create a "/etc/ssh/sshd_not-To_be_run" file (the init script says this) | 00:14 |
| sysop3 | or is some left over hacker stuff? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | xil: sudo apt-get install acpi | 00:14 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: greyed out | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sysop3: i recommend you install rkhunter and scan your system | 00:14 |
| jrib | sysop3: my ssh does not continue if I run "sudo service ssh stop". But if I have open connections, they will persist. | 00:14 |
| sysop3 | I dont want ssh not run. I just want to know if its normal. | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: is it currently connected? | 00:14 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: no | 00:15 |
| sysop3 | ok so its not normal. | 00:15 |
| bencc | where can I submit an issue wit gedit syntax highlighting of erlang code? | 00:15 |
| sysop3 | I will try what you said ActionParsnip thanks. | 00:15 |
| jrib | sysop3: if your system was compromised, I recommend you reinstall and restore from safe backups... | 00:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | bencc, "ubuntu-bug gedit" if you want to submit to Ubuntu | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: hmm, weird. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/5364 | 00:15 |

| steven_ | samsung ml1665 | 00:17 |
| bencc | ZykoticK9: what is "ubuntu-bug gedit" ? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | steven_: ok and what filename/s do you have? | 00:17 |
| === P is now known as Guest21671 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | bencc, ubuntu-bug is the program to report bugs/issues to Ubuntu. It requires the package name after it, in this case gedit | 00:18 |
| bencahill | okay, i have a laptop that ubuntu does not like :( can anyone help me troubleshoot it? | 00:18 |
| steven_ | the files called autorun | 00:18 |
| sysop3 | ok did a apt-get remove openssh-server and the process went away | 00:18 |
| sysop3 | going to reinstall and see that fixes things | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | steven_: that will most likely be the windows driver which is of no use to you | 00:18 |
| steven_ | i downloaded it from samsung its supposed 2 b the linux driver | 00:18 |
| bencc | ZykoticK9: is it ok to sumbit to ubuntu or do I need to submit to gedit directly? | 00:18 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: no, I can configure a static ip if I need to, however its only openvpn that requires the static, I should be able to configure it... if not through gui through cli at least | 00:19 |
| steven_ | maybe i downloaded the wrong dirver | 00:19 |
| melow01 | gparted: how do you launch it from the command line without the GUI? | 00:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | bencc, ? either is probably fine, if it's a bug - it should move upstream | 00:19 |
| Zaelyx | sysop3: you might want to purge, to remove all the config files too if you're starting anew | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | steven_: http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ | 00:19 |
| steven_ | ty | 00:19 |
| melow01 | I've tried: gksu gparted /dev/sdc1 | 00:20 |
| melow01 | but it still launches the gui | 00:20 |
| bencc | ZykoticK9: thanks | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: could add an entry for it in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | melow01: gparted is the gui to parted | 00:21 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: that doesn't make sense though... | 00:21 |
| melow01 | ActionParsnip, doh! thanks | 00:21 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: do you know where the config file is for the client? | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | melow01: so the gui will obviously run.... If you run: sudo parted /dev/diskname it will use the CLI interface | 00:22 |
| Wiesshund | Hmm, what have i done? LOL i did the 10.10 upgrade (or so i thought) but instead i went to 11.04, guess i'm an over achiever | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: not sure, possibly in ~/.config maybe | 00:22 |
| Zaelyx | melow01: Also, use gksu for graphics programs and sudo for command-line | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Wiesshund: you probably run: sudo update-manager -d | 00:22 |
| rww | Wiesshund: If you're looking at the About Ubuntu page, it shows 11.04 on 10.10 too. Known bug. | 00:23 |
| jrib | Wiesshund: what does « lsb_release -c » say? | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wiesshund, did you use -d to update? that brings you to Development, thus 11.04 | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Zaelyx: s/he was using gksudo which is fine | 00:23 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: no joy | 00:23 |
| Wiesshund | ActionParsnip i just clicked the big fat upgrade button in update manager. i had been holding off due to the 10.10 issues with ati video, and my nic driver | 00:23 |
| melow01 | ActionParsnip, I'm still learning | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | melow01: we all are :) | 00:24 |
| melow01 | ActionParsnip, Zaelyx thanks, good to know | 00:24 |
| rww | I'm not. My brain is full. | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: every day is a school day :) | 00:24 |
| jrib | rww: you could still be overwriting existing knowledge :) | 00:24 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: grepping in my ~ for it | 00:24 |
| furi | Jordan_U: on aoss, instead of saying that /dev/dsp doesn't exist, it says "/dev/dsp: invalid argument \ could not mmap /dev/dsp" | 00:25 |
| Zaelyx | melow01: A great book to get more into the linux commands is Ubuntu Linux Toolbox, I've found it very helpful | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | furi: Unfortunately you can't emulate mmap :( | 00:25 |
| strgllh | I can't remember if I told xubuntu to only include open source software during the install. Is there an easy way to go in afterwards and remove any non-free software? | 00:25 |
| Wiesshund | ActionParsnip never mind, the about ubuntu file says 11.04 but it's incorrect system says its using 10.10, darn i was kind of excited for a second | 00:25 |
| furi | Jordan_U: so i'm pretty much stuck without any in-game audio whatsoever? | 00:26 |
| rusty149 | Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. If I connect before boot it works fine. Any help please? | 00:26 |
| Wiesshund | rusty149 is that a laptop? | 00:26 |
| xil | where can I got some help with scripting wmii, anyone know? I know there is a #suckless channel on another server but I'm wondering if there is a place on freenode? | 00:27 |
| rusty149 | Wiesshund: Yes | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | furi: You can try "pasuspender". | 00:27 |
| ramatan | hi, every body | 00:27 |

| bencahill | amdk: try #winehq | 00:34 |
| amdk | i would | 00:34 |
| amdk | basicly i installed it but its not right | 00:34 |
| amdk | and it crashes | 00:34 |
| Wiesshund | rusty149 yea, if you open up terminal before hand, after it freezes, i think youll find you can actualy issue it a restart or shutdown command. for some reason it just ceases sending the video. But i could not find any info on a solution at all | 00:34 |
| jrib | amdk: if you need help with a windows program through wine, ask #winehq, they're the experts on wine | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | amdk: do you mean XBMC, not xmbc? | 00:34 |
| gmg | with which program can I create a product brochure with linux? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | gmg: scribus, writer | 00:35 |
| gmg | Is is free? | 00:35 |
| amdk | yes i do | 00:35 |
| rusty149 | Wiesshund: I can't even do that. Like I said I can't switch tty, or even do sysrq+alt commands (which should be last resort. It is more like a kernel crask but I do not see any panic?? | 00:36 |
| Wiesshund | gmg like in prdf format or? | 00:36 |

| === Thomas___ is now known as Ripp__ | ||
| ActionParsnip | masai47: primary is a partition as yuo expect. You can only have 4 primary partitions. If you need more you create an EXTENDD partition, this can then hold 1 or more LOGICAL partitions | 00:46 |
| mrbluessbb | thank you | 00:46 |

| Wiesshund | gmg openoffice has some graphic editing abilities, but i dont think it does what you are asking, not that i can see offhand, but there may be plugins or add ons to do it | 00:48 |
| amdk | have you guys given up on me | 00:48 |
| glider | Hey, I am having trouble with my belkin N wireless adapter. | 00:48 |
| masai47 | ActionParsnip: I have 3x 500gb and was thinking of installing it as RAID, 300mb partion for /boot as ext2, 2GB swap, and the rest on each for a RAID5 partition for the ext4 / partition. Thoughts? | 00:49 |
| luxurymode | glider: thats not a question ;) | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | masai47: ive not used a seperate /boot partition. I always use 10Gb for / 1xRAM for swap and the rest for /home | 00:49 |
| gmg | thanks for your help, I guess I should do this on Windows then DAMM | 00:49 |
| glider | It randomly disconnects... and so I unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work again. | 00:50 |
| jetole | Hey guys. I have access to a printer driver/app deb from Brother that is compiled for i386 and I run amd64 however they have (old) instructions on their site saying I should install ia32-libs and lib32stdc++ and then run dpkg -i --force-all on the deb but I want to know, how safe is it really to force an install of an i386 deb file on a amd64 install? | 00:50 |
| selam | hi | 00:50 |
| selam | can i ask? | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | glider: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the chip. Belkin don't make the chips and you need to know the chi | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | p | 00:50 |
| jetole | selam: no | 00:50 |
| jetole | selam: you're not allowed to ask questions on IRC | 00:50 |
| masai47 | ActionParsnip: thats what I have always done, but I have no experience with RAID but with 3 identical 500GB drives I thought it might make sense | 00:50 |
| jetole | selam: it's a golden rule | 00:51 |
| gmg | He he he just ask | 00:51 |
| jetole | :P | 00:51 |
| selam | determine the average accel of a car starting from rest reaches a velocity of 60km/h-1 due north in 5.01? | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | masai47: can't hurt. Ive only used hard raid when i've used raid in linux | 00:51 |
| jetole | selam: if it's multi choice, pick answer b | 00:51 |
| gmg | 234 blue apples | 00:51 |
| selam | na not multi choice | 00:52 |

| rww | selam: you may also like #math. | 00:52 |

| jetole | I was gonna say #math if that really was his question | 00:52 |
| Wiesshund | rusty149 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/599626 sounds like your issue? | 00:52 |
| selam | what u mean real question? | 00:52 |
| jetole | selam: you came into #ubuntu to ask a math question? | 00:52 |
| glider | ActionParsnip, I have a 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller | 00:52 |
| selam | its physics question | 00:52 |
| selam | not math | 00:52 |

| glider | ActionParsni, sorry, bad copypasta its AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter | 00:55 |
| rww | jetole: please try to be polite and professional in here :( | 00:55 |
| Wiesshund | rusty149 at the bottom of the bug report is a possible work around | 00:55 |
| luxurymode | hey guys, im trying to format my flash drive in GParted. I unmounted the drive, but can't format bc its unable to find mount point. GParted says I need dosfstools and mtools packages, which I have... | 00:55 |
| gmg | do i just download the laptop-mode from software centre? | 00:55 |
| jetole | rww: what did I say that was impolite? | 00:55 |
| rusty149 | thanks Wiesshund | 00:55 |
| craigbass1976 | is there some way to REALLY restart apache? i try a config change, /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, and don't see the change. Reboot the computer though, and I see it. | 00:56 |
| jetole | gmg: I guess. I use apt-get but other people push aptitude but software center, afaik, does the same thing | 00:56 |
| jetole | craigbass1976: /etc/init.d/apache restart | 00:56 |
| mellin | luxurymode: mtools package will have what you need to format if you want windows filesystem | 00:56 |
| gmg | thanks | 00:56 |
| Timecop | i what host web site ubuntu server with domain name | 00:56 |
| jrib | jetole: restart really restarts apache... though usually you only want a to do a "reload" | 00:56 |
| luxurymode | mellin: right, but i have that package installed already... | 00:56 |
| craigbass1976 | jetole, like I said, changes to the config file aren't taking effect until I reboot. | 00:56 |
| jetole | jrib: yes it does | 00:56 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: restart really restarts apache... though usually you only want a to do a "reload" (sorry jetole :P) | 00:56 |
| Wiesshund | gmg in software center i believe it is package name laptop-mode-tools | 00:56 |
| mellin | luxurymode: Ok so do you want a windows filesytem or not? | 00:57 |
| jetole | craigbass1976: if you want to be really sure, run: ps -A -o pid,cmd | grep apache | 00:57 |
| luxurymode | mellin: guess so. | 00:57 |
| jetole | craigbass1976: kill all the pid you find then run that command again and make sure they are dead | 00:57 |
| jetole | craigbass1976: then run /etc/init.d/apache start | 00:57 |
| gmg | I found it thanks | 00:57 |
| jetole | craigbass1976: however /etc/init.d/apache restart should do it | 00:57 |
| MrUnagi | how do you compare values in bash? | 00:58 |
| jrib | MrUnagi: try #bash | 00:58 |
| MrUnagi | if 1 = 1; then echo yes; fi | 00:58 |
| MrUnagi | ? | 00:58 |
| jetole | jrib: what did you say sorry for? | 00:58 |
| jrib | jetole: I meant to send it to craigbass1976 | 00:58 |
| m0ngr31 | any grep experts in here? | 00:58 |
| mellin | luxurymode: Ok then what I am saying is you need to use mtools to do the format not Gparted. Although I am sure someone else knows how to get gparted to use mtools with an option to format windows | 00:58 |
| jetole | jrib: oh cool | 00:58 |
| Op3y | lol no one like this dis do you :P | 00:58 |
| mellin | luxurymode: do a man mtools | 00:58 |
| jrib | m0ngr31: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 00:58 |
| jetole | is rww a bot? | 00:58 |
| rww | jetole: no | 00:58 |
| luxurymode | mellin: how do i pull up mtools? | 00:58 |
| xangua | jetole: he is a super robot | 00:59 |
| glider | Does anyone have any idea why my AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter might be randomly disconnecting? | 00:59 |
| mrbluessbb | How do I record with Tvtime? Do I need a separate program? | 00:59 |
| Kangarooo | m0ngr31: vlc -help | grep speed will show line of vlc -help containing speed mentioned | 00:59 |
| Op3y | type iwconfig | 00:59 |
| luxurymode | mellin: can i just use system > admin > disk utility and delete the partition? | 00:59 |
| mellin | luxurymode: Well you will have to open up a terminal then issue the "man mtools" without quotes it will detail how and what commands to use to format your device | 00:59 |
| jetole | lol. rww: if you have 5 apples and your remove two then what col or is the mooon? | 00:59 |
| mellin | luxurymode: You could | 00:59 |
| rww | jetole: sleeping furiously | 01:00 |
| jetole | haha | 01:00 |
| tummyacid | hello all! I am trying to setup a RAID1. I have done this before but I am a little fuzzy on the details. The tough part is I already have a disk with 100GB of data I wish to keep, I just want to add an additional hard drive to mirror the data already on the first w/o losing data | 01:00 |
| luxurymode | mellin: select FAT if i want it to be windows? i need my xbox to be able to read media on it... | 01:00 |
| gmg | I found a problem with Ubuntu 10.10...when I plug out my monitor...wait 1 hour...plug it back then my screen stalls but everything els still works | 01:00 |
| jetole | I said the p o r n word in a joking manner and got called impolite so I assumed it was a bot | 01:00 |
| m0ngr31 | ok, i'm using a python script to get info from amazon about products. the script returns a bunch of 10 digit numbers. i'm trying to trim the output, but it's not really working... anyone know what i would grep/cut? | 01:00 |
| mellin | luxurymode: Indeed that is what you want | 01:01 |
| Op3y | ntfs luxurymode | 01:01 |
| luxurymode | mellin: thanks for your help. | 01:01 |
| mellin | luxurymode: that too | 01:01 |
| ramatan | join | 01:01 |
| jrib | m0ngr31: paste a sample line, otherwise it's impossible to help you | 01:01 |
| Op3y | luxurymode or fat32 | 01:01 |
| ramatan | #join | 01:01 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: it doesnt say NTFS... just "FAT" | 01:01 |
| rww | jetole: try to be less funny and more helpful. the humor in telling people that they can't ask questions often fails to reach the other person when they don't speak English as their first language. | 01:01 |
| mellin | luxurymode: NP I don't know much just a little that is why I'm here too! | 01:01 |
| Op3y | for your xbox | 01:01 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, have you tried using regular expressions? | 01:01 |
| m0ngr31 | jrib: this is what i have so far (it's in a bash script): search1=$(python asin_search.py "$title" "$author" | grep B0 | cut -d' ' -f1) | 01:02 |
| Op3y | i was able to do it then i setup a server with it | 01:02 |
| jetole | rww: well he asked anyways? | 01:02 |
| Op3y | oh well do fat | 01:02 |
| jetole | er, s/?// | 01:02 |
| ghostnik11 | trying to install wintricks it says that its not authenticated and won't let me install it, how can i install it | 01:02 |
| jrib | m0ngr31: if we have no clue what the output of asin_search.py is, we can't really help you | 01:02 |
| luxurymode | mellin: oh man, getting errors. its telling me to add "Add mtools_skip_check=1" to my .mtoolsrc file to skip some test.... | 01:02 |
| m0ngr31 | jrib: B000FA5QEK B000Q9INTK B000FC1VUQ | 01:02 |
| jrib | m0ngr31: and what do you want it to looko like afterwards? | 01:02 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, and its hex even | 01:02 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: my bad there is NTFS -- that worked. | 01:03 |
| Op3y | luxurymode if its for a xbox you need th hd code that the xbox sets as well | 01:03 |
| glider | Is anyone familiar with belkin N wireless adapters? | 01:03 |
| mellin | luxurymode: Just a sec and let me see if I have it installed and I will try to tell you the path to get to that file for editing | 01:03 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, just use cut the way you have it | 01:03 |
| rww | jetole: perhaps you missed the part where he said he felt unwelcome and left :( | 01:03 |
| Op3y | luxurymode but your good if its working :) | 01:03 |
| luxurymode | mellin: no need. NTFS worked | 01:03 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, without grep | 01:03 |
| m0ngr31 | jrib: i just want the first number | 01:03 |
| craigbass1976 | glider, from any network, or one in particular? I'm noticing (over the course of a year or two) that my belkin wirleess router sucks; any high traffic on it and the wireless hoses hard; the rest of the network (wired) is fine, but anything in the house runing on wireless (other laptops, the wii) won't get on until I power down the router | 01:03 |
| mrbluessbb | Ill ask again, how do I record with TvTime? | 01:04 |
| jetole | btw, rww I helped 4 people including selem who I told can't ask in the 15 minutes I have been in here without having my question answered and all you have said is that I am unprofessional and impolite so perhaps you should better analyze the situation... ah yes, rww, and I answered by saying he is welcome to ask about ubuntu. Sorry if you missed that | 01:04 |
| gmg | I just installed APTONCD from the software centre but it's nowhere to be seen | 01:04 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: copying video now. gonna see if it works fine on xbox | 01:04 |
| Op3y | luxurymode when you get all of this setup you need to get a PSP for your all in one cuntroler | 01:04 |
| Kangarooo | glider: i assume it doesnt work. if it new then maybe driver isnt in kernel so ull need to google to find it and manually install it | 01:04 |
| jetole | bbiab. Going for a smoke | 01:04 |
| jrib | m0ngr31: use cut or awk then | 01:04 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: whaddya mean? | 01:04 |
| === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu | ||
| Op3y | mod the PSP | 01:04 |
| Kangarooo | jetole: dont talk about that here and me too ;) | 01:04 |
| glider | craigbass1976: The problem I am having is with my adapter... it randomly decides to disconnect... especially if I am using apt | 01:04 |
| m0ngr31 | jrib: i'm using cut in my command, but i guess i'm doing it wrong. do you know what switch(es) i would use? | 01:05 |
| Op3y | you will see if you look around | 01:05 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, I think you | 01:05 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: ah, gotcha. i got so many things going on, that is not a top priority. everything in my life is modded and hacked and rooted, bla bla | 01:05 |
| Op3y | you can link the PSP to wifi and ssh to linux | 01:05 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, cut right | 01:05 |
| mellin | luxurymode: Ok cool | 01:05 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, just leave grep out | 01:05 |
| jrib | m0ngr31: cut -d' ' -f1 does what you want | 01:05 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: that sounds sick. link me to some more info? | 01:05 |
| Op3y | its all what i know from doing it | 01:06 |
| Op3y | no links i would have to put something togeather | 01:06 |
| mrbluessbb | Is this the wrong place for my question? | 01:06 |
| Kangarooo | mrbluessbb: !ask | 01:06 |
| Wiesshund | mrbluessbb what is the question? :) | 01:06 |
| DEAD_BEEF | jrib, can you see this? | 01:06 |
| Op3y | i need help with my pocketPC right now its stop loading half way | 01:06 |
| luxurymode | he asked earlier... | 01:06 |
| Op3y | afk | 01:06 |
| jrib | DEAD_BEEF: yes? | 01:06 |
| mrbluessbb | How do I record with TvTime? | 01:07 |
| DEAD_BEEF | jrib, OK, I always feel like people can't see what I'm typing. | 01:07 |
| glider | Kangaroo: It does work... I am connected right now through the router.. it just seems to give out when I am browsing or using APT | 01:07 |
| DEAD_BEEF | jrib, or like I'm being ignored. | 01:07 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: still does the same thing. | 01:07 |
| mellin | Everyone I have created a file named mountg then did chmod +x mountg. At this point it has set file permissions rwx for root. So should I also chgroup the file to like adm or admin or another for extra security? | 01:07 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, what's the output | 01:08 |
| DEAD_BEEF | paste it | 01:08 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: search1=$(python asin_search.py "$title" "$author" | cut -d' ' -f1) | 01:08 |
| mrbluessbb | !ask how do I record with TvTime? | 01:08 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:08 |
| Wiesshund | mrbluessbb i have no idea, i'm afraid. i have never used it | 01:08 |
| mrbluessbb | ok | 01:08 |
| m0ngr31 | out puts lots of stuff, but this is one line: B000FA5QEK B000Q9INTK B000FC1VUQ | 01:08 |
| luxurymode | Op3y: mellin: damn it, xbox isnt even recognizing the drive now ..not mounting... | 01:08 |
| Kangarooo | glider: write in forum this maybe some interesting bug | 01:08 |
| xangua | !repeat > mrbluessbb | 01:08 |
| ubottu | mrbluessbb, please see my private message | 01:08 |
| glider | mellin: well, is anyone else using your machine? | 01:09 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, and you only want the first block from that one line? | 01:09 |
| luxurymode | op3y: mellin: please dont tell me i need to go into windows... | 01:09 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: yeah, that's right | 01:09 |
| Kangarooo | glider: so someone who knows can read about it when he wates up. www.ubuntuforums.org | 01:09 |
| Op3y | luxurymode you need to set the key for the HD | 01:09 |
| ramatan | hi, every body | 01:09 |
| DEAD_BEEF | can you paste the output in it's entirety to pastbin | 01:09 |
| Op3y | google how to setup a xbox HD key | 01:09 |
| Wiesshund | mrbluessbb tvtime does not support recording, so says thier website | 01:09 |
| Op3y | thougt you know all this | 01:09 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: sure, just one sec | 01:10 |
| ramatan | any one here develop for ubuntu | 01:10 |
| mrbluessbb | lol | 01:10 |
| Op3y | you did read all the info you where able to find i hope :) | 01:10 |
| Kangarooo | glider: asctually go to friend and try your router on his maching with ur wifi also .. maybe router has strange settings | 01:10 |
| poggle | is tehre some way of getting an update if an important update has been installed which requires rebooting | 01:10 |
| mrbluessbb | I need a program that records from a capture card so I can record video game tournament matches. | 01:10 |
| poggle | but you dont reboot for a month or two | 01:10 |
| poggle | and have no idea if youre vulnerable | 01:10 |
| Wiesshund | mrbluessbb http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/help.html#recording has some suggestions | 01:10 |
| mellin | glider: No, however I could conceivably create a big security flaw messing about when I'm just learnin' ;-) I guess in a multi-user situation yes use groups as well? | 01:10 |
| Op3y | there is two files one for format and one to make the HD KEY | 01:11 |
| glider | Kangaroo: I have seen this in the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-935575.html but it does not look like anyone has answered. | 01:11 |
| qbb | hi. what's the preferred way of manually stopping and starting squid on ubuntu? the init script mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squid doesn't exist | 01:11 |
| Op3y | google spydermod | 01:11 |
| mellin | Wiesshund: Does that translate to white hound into English? | 01:11 |
| glider | Kangaroo: I have had this problem on three different routers now. | 01:11 |
| mellin | Wiesshund: your nick that is | 01:11 |
| Wiesshund | mellin not really no, but its mistaken for white dog alot | 01:12 |
| jrib | qbb: try « sudo service squid START|STOP|RESTART » | 01:12 |
| qbb | jrib: unrecognized service | 01:12 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: http://pastebin.com/sPTTz0Wn | 01:12 |
| jrib | qbb: how did you install squid? | 01:12 |
| mellin | Wiesshund: Guess I'll be googlin then...lol | 01:12 |
| Wiesshund | weißhund is correct spelling | 01:12 |
| qbb | jrib: synaptic, took the default squid package and accepted to install the dependencies | 01:13 |
| jrib | qbb: what ubuntu version? | 01:13 |
| Wiesshund | with out the silly english I before E rule :) | 01:13 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: some items only have one block, but others have more results so i need to get it to the most relevant (the first) | 01:13 |
| qbb | jrib: 10.10 | 01:13 |
| jdoe_ | Is Ubuntu designed to be easy to use? | 01:13 |
| jrib | qbb: do you have /etc/init/squid.conf? | 01:13 |
| m0ngr31 | jdoe_: it's one of the easiest ;) | 01:13 |
| qbb | jrib: yes, and squid itself works fine too | 01:13 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, so you want the first block from every line that has three, or from every line that has a block starting with B0 | 01:14 |
| jrib | qbb: try "squid3" instead of "squid" in my previous command | 01:14 |
| qbb | jrib: same error | 01:14 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: the first block of every line that starts with B0 | 01:14 |
| jrib | qbb: can you pastebin /etc/init/squid.conf ? | 01:14 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, have you considered using the python regular expression module? | 01:15 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, I mean, you'd still have the problem, but it'd be solved inside the script | 01:15 |
| jetole | So does anyone know how unsafe it is to do a dpkg --force-all to install a 32 bit deb on a 64 bit system. This is the printer setup for a brother printer and they only have 32 bit and they also recommend doing this if you have a 64 bit system but I don't trust them | 01:15 |
| terminhell | any idea why the ubuntu install would fail to resize an ntfs partition with sufficient room | 01:15 |

| jetole | rusty149: what driver are you using? | 01:18 |
| rusty149 | sorry, how do I check, I dn;t know much about displays | 01:18 |
| jetole | rusty149: have you configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf or are you using the default setup that came with ubuntu? This also sounds like a driver bug to me | 01:19 |
| Guest81956 | I have just set ub UBUNTU 10.4 LUCID, I am now trying to run a command in the terminal window that uses the bashshell, I am trying to setup some environment variables looking for ~/.bashrc but it is not finding any bash shell, I think I missed setting something up. | 01:19 |
| qbb | jrib: http://pastebin.com/9SWDHWGQ without the comments. it's the default squid.conf, haven't modified it at all yet | 01:19 |
| rusty149 | jetole: it is all default. How do I check drivers | 01:19 |
| jetole | rusty149: open a terminal and run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then post it to pastebin.com or another site like that | 01:19 |

| CJ23 | shrink a windows partition on which is for xp , but I have not deleted temp files or update recovery figles or regisdtries or defraged not sure if I should for xp like this says http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=2892 | 01:19 |

| jetole | CJ23: you don't need to do any of that for shrinking a windows XP partition but instead you need to shrink the filesystem first | 01:20 |
| CJ23 | the filesystem? | 01:20 |
| rusty149 | jetole: file does not exist | 01:20 |
| jetole | CJ23: I caught it but try to rememeber that since it makes sure the person you are talking to sees the highlighted version | 01:20 |
| jrib | qbb: nah, I meant /etc/init/squid, but one sec while I check something | 01:21 |
| jetole | CJ23: yes, if you shrink the partition and not the filesystem then you will destroy it | 01:21 |

| ruben_hood | Hi. I need some help, please. I have a network with a windows 2003 server (is a domain controller) , an windows xp client, and a ubuntu 10.10 client. In windows server 2003, i can type the character "$" on the end of the folder name to hide (but not to unshare) the folder to windows xp. but ubuntu can see the folder, and i do not want the ubuntu client to see them. anybody knows a way to hide windows shared folders to ubuntu machines? than | 01:23 |
| ruben_hood | ks! (i know that maybe this is a hard question, i am learning) | 01:23 |
| CJ23 | * ah jetole | 01:23 |
| jetole | CJ23: I just did a reinstall on this system and I don't have the tool to resize ntfs which I have used many times before so I am googling it but I found one site which says gparted can do this but the other tool I know from personal experience works well so hang in there | 01:23 |
| jrib | qbb: do you know of the "squid3" package's relationship to the "squid" package? | 01:24 |
| xangua | ruben_hood: just add a "." at start of the name of the file/directory | 01:24 |
| qbb | jrib: not really, but I reckon it's some sort of unstable version, if squid 2 is still the default squid package? | 01:24 |
| gmg | That is just other Ubuntu support sites | 01:25 |
| CJ23 | jetole: it's ntfs but it is nto C: it is data | 01:25 |
| CJ23 | but I will need to also resize C: jetole | 01:25 |
| jetole | CJ23: the format you want to do, say you want to shrink windows xp from 20 Gb to 15 GB, you would shrink the ntfs filesystem to as small as you can, you then shrink the partition to the prefered size, you then grow the ntfs file system to as large as you can which is limited by the size of the parittion. If you resize the partition, you want it to start on the same blocks. I typically use fdisk for this. If I print the parition and it says that the current ... | 01:25 |
| jrib | qbb: I see. I'm inclined to say that the missing file in /etc/init.d is a bug (if you see things like gdm, they have the upstart script and then a compatibility script in /etc/init.d) | 01:25 |
| jetole | ... partition starts on block 100 and ends on block 123456 then I delete the partition and recreate it, I make sure the partition starts on the same block (100) and specify the new size | 01:25 |
| jetole | CJ23: yes | 01:26 |
| jetole | CJ23: I have done that many times. I work in IT | 01:26 |
| ruben_hood | xangua: oh thanks! that maybe work! | 01:26 |
| jetole | CJ23: deleting a partition does not delete data so you can delete a partition and create a new one, as long as it starts on the same block, you're data is intact... | 01:26 |
| qbb | jrib: yea, the others do. what are the files in /etc/init for? they're all .conf files but look more like init scripts to me | 01:26 |
| jetole | CJ23: but it's very important that you make sure you do not shrink the parition or delete then create a new partition smaller then the filesystem | 01:27 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: are you sure about that? | 01:27 |
| jrib | qbb: they're used by upstart (replaced sysv init) | 01:27 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: sure about what? | 01:27 |
| CJ23 | oh | 01:27 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: deleting a partition and recreating it on the same block will not remove the data | 01:28 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: very sure | 01:28 |

| CaneToad | ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH it would be nice to have an operating system with a stable desktop. Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 [with closed source Nvidia driver] both suffer from screen lockups (unrecoverable X grabs) about 3 times a day for me...the open source driver isn't usable because the machine gets so hot that it shuts down after a while when I use it. | 01:28 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: Hmm I must of done something wrong then cause all my stuff was gone | 01:28 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X and CJ23: be careful not to use a tool that will also remove the file system. a partition only tool such as fdisk only works on the partition table | 01:29 |
| === Guest16008 is now known as RaNdY | ||
| Guest81956 | I don't seem to have a bashrc file in my home directory, did I miss someting when I install UBUNTU | 01:29 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: If you use fdisk, you delete a partition and then create one on the same blocks and write it and the partition types are identical then nothing is lost | 01:29 |
| CJ23 | why is this jetole ? Whats the difference from partition and a filesystem and the table? | 01:29 |
| xangua | Guest81956: create one then | 01:29 |
| CJ23 | *what is | 01:29 |
| === RaNdY is now known as Guest93486 | ||
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: yeah I did that, all my data was gone | 01:29 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: you did something wrong | 01:29 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: I have done this many times | 01:30 |
| rww | Guest81956: it's .bashrc, and it's not shown by default in file manager or ls. Use Ctrl-h in the GUI or ls -a in the CLI. | 01:30 |
| ruben_hood | ii can't write "." before the file on windows, it is not allowed | 01:30 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: are you allowed to reboot after deleting the partition? | 01:30 |
| kopper1108 | I selected the option to install ubuntu alongside windows. In the future, how can I delete windows? | 01:30 |
| jetole | CJ23: a partition table exists in the first part of a disk and is just a format of where one partition ends and another begins. It's just a simple mapping and is very small. A file system exists inside a partition and says where each file is located and what blocks it's mapped to | 01:30 |
| glider | CaneToad: Sorry you are having issues... | 01:31 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, this is what I've come up with so far: re.match('B0.{8,}\s+', mystring) | 01:31 |
| jrib | qbb: and « stop squid » of course too :) I think these should work for pure upstart jobs | 01:31 |
| CJ23 | a block isn't always a physical location on a track of a plate on the hdd | 01:31 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: yes and no. If you delete the partition and then reboot then it won't see the partition. If you launch an OS that expects that partition then it should fail. No Linux OS should attempt any type of automatic repair or repartitioning but windows may if it knows about and expects a partition table | 01:32 |
| jetole | CJ23: pardon? | 01:32 |
| j00ker | hi there | 01:32 |
| DEAD_BEEF | the main bit being: B0.{8,}\s+ | 01:32 |
| jetole | CJ23: run: sudo fdisk -l | 01:32 |
| jetole | CJ23: you will see where it says start and end | 01:32 |
| CJ23 | ok | 01:32 |
| jetole | CJ23: if it's a MSDOS style partition table when it will have an exact start and end | 01:33 |
| jetole | for each partition | 01:33 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: i get a syntax error when i try that. maybe because I'm on a mac? | 01:33 |
| jetole | you can also backup the partition table using... sfdisk I think it's called... one sec | 01:33 |
| jetole | yes: sfdisk | 01:33 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: so when I ran the fdisk and deleted the partition, rebooted, booted in linux bash shell, ran fdisk, created partition, <same ftype>,<same blocks> and all my stuff was gone | 01:34 |
| jetole | CJ23: there is also a newer type of partition table, I forget what it's called but it does not rely on the start/end block | 01:34 |
| CJ23 | that's not gonna save you from all fuckery if you resize the partition to a smaller size than the filesystem though right? | 01:34 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: I don't know what happened but you did something wrong | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | !language | CJ23 | 01:34 |
| ubottu | CJ23: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 01:34 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: so you dont think it was the reboot which cause the actual deletion of the partition table | 01:34 |
| jetole | CJ23: you can resize the partition table smaller then the FS and nothing will be broken as long as you don't boot into the OS using that filesystem. After that, if you do boot into it then you will likely be up the creek without a paddle | 01:35 |
| ArMo3 | I installed Xubuntu via WUBI . When I reboot into Xubuntu, it first says "Press ESC to add advanced boot options" and after some time (that is after the loading is complete) "Out of Sync / 67.5 kHz" . | 01:35 |
| CJ23 | sorry | 01:35 |
| jetole | CJ23: the tools I was trying to remember is called ntfsresize and is in the package ntfsprogs | 01:35 |
| Jordan_U | RoDiMuS-X: Try restoring the partition with testdisk, in case you did not in fact use the same start and end blocks when you tried to recover it manually. | 01:36 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, did you: import re | 01:36 |
| CJ23 | oh ok but why would it screw stuff up after you ran the boot loader for the os? | 01:36 |
| CJ23 | jetole: | 01:36 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Jordan_U: alright I will give that a go, thanks | 01:36 |
| vmjose | buenas! | 01:37 |
| === vmjose is now known as Baunder | ||
| jetole | CJ23: so for example, if you want to go from 20GB to 15GB, resize the ntfs partition to 12GB, resize the partition to 15GB, resize the NTFS partition to max size | 01:37 |
| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: no, i told you i was worthless at python ;) | 01:37 |

| velcroshooz | how do i go about setting up sharing so another HD on my ubuntu machine that mounts as /media/Video is available to my other machines via samba? right clicking does not give me a sharing option | 01:37 |
| jetole | CJ23: ntfsresize will ask you to first boot into windows and allow it to run required checks on your disk. You can get around having to do this but you shouldn't | 01:37 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, but I think that re is close to getting at what you want | 01:38 |

| jrib | ruben_hood: hiding on linux is really "get out of my way because I don't want to see it". Putting a '.' in front of a filename (or using .hidden) is not for security. If you want something secure, you need to encrypt it. Is there a way to encrypt the file on windows? | 01:42 |
| zhangzq71 | hello | 01:42 |
| zhangzq71 | Is it possible to use xserver run in windows to connect ubuntu 10.10? | 01:42 |
| Wiesshund | jrib yes, depending on the windows version | 01:43 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: so you know, the partition table is in no way linked to a file system or any data inside that file system. It's the other way around, that data relies on the partition table. If you delete the partition table and re create an identical one, then the file system and the data inside of it don't know you made a change. The partition table exists at the start of the disk and is very small. It exists on a part of the disk that is outside of a ... | 01:43 |
| jrib | zhangzq71: you could use vnc, that's probably what you want | 01:43 |
| jetole | ... partition, the first 512 bytes with a MSDOS style partition (which despite the name is the common and popular format used for most all OS's for the last ~20 years until recently) and therefor if you change it within the allowable means then it will not cause harm to your data and if you delete and create a new one that is identical to the old one then there is no way an OS would know you made changes to it in the first place. If you delete it and ... | 01:43 |
| jrib | !vnc | zhangzq71 | 01:43 |
| jetole | ... create a smaller one but first you have resized your filesystem and you do not create a smaller one then the filesystem and it starts on the same location as the old one then your OS fille be fine so I don't know what you did but something was done wrong | 01:43 |

| jrib | ruben_hood: right, so I asked why are you mounting the partition in ubuntu at all? | 01:49 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: no but if you created swap space in a partition and that partition was set to overwrite space where an old partition was the swap is overwriting data because the filesystem was not resized to be within the bounds of the new partition size then that can do it | 01:49 |

| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: Do you know how to recover data on a bad drive or is that a hopeless mission? | 01:52 |
| jetole | hard drives are the quickest thing to fail on a computer since they have moving parts. Even SSD which doesn't, it still does have a limited life on write capability | 01:52 |
| CJ23 | so jetole if my fdisk info's http://pastebin.com/1vXFj78A ( http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 image ) and I want to resize sda2 the extended , I would just first use ntfs to resize the filesystem down to what? | 01:54 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: depends. I don't do it physically and if someone does, it usually costs a fortune but you can try booting from rescue media, in my case I use the ubuntu live cd and run ddrescue (the gnu version which is in the package gddrescue) and copy it to a new drive | 01:54 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: ddrescue is like dd but designed to recover as much as possible from failed drives | 01:54 |
| ruben_hood | jrib it could be a possibility if i could make windows 2003 server difference ubuntu from windows | 01:54 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: http://www.atlas-tuesday.com/using-gddrescue-to-save-your-data-part-1 | 01:55 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: ahh thats what I am going to try | 01:55 |
| ruben_hood | jrib i think i have the perfect explanaition | 01:55 |
| RoDiMuS-X | jetole: Thanks much | 01:55 |
| leachim6 | jetole, I have an SSD, what can I do to prolong it's life | 01:55 |
| leachim6 | do you know? | 01:55 |
| jetole | RoDiMuS-X: you're welcome. I'm going for a smoke so be back in 10 minutes | 01:55 |
| RoDiMuS-X | ha me too | 01:55 |
| leachim6 | Isn't there a program that allows you to save your logs to ram? | 01:55 |
| jetole | leachim6: nope. I don't own one yet but try http://www.google.com/linux?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=prolong+a+ssd+life | 01:56 |
| jetole | leachim6: you can't save anything to ram | 01:56 |
| jetole | be back in 10 mins | 01:56 |
| leachim6 | jetole, I beg to differ. | 01:56 |
| ruben_hood | jrib: imagine a folder "x". maybe you want to share that folder to a especific user when it is login on a windows machine, but not when it is logged with ubuntu. really, this is more a windows 2003 server config concern... | 01:56 |

| jeaton | which is an older version | 02:07 |
| leachim6 | Gnea, that's why I'm here. | 02:10 |
| jetole | leachim6: I'm glad you bed to differ but you cannot save anything to RAM and the intro for the page you posted that just read pretty much confirms that it saves it to do disk. RAM is volatile stoage meaning once you lose power then you lose everything in RAM so ramlog is using RAM as a cache/buffer only and I don't know why it does but it's good to know it has that option though I would like to know why you want to since, if your system crashes then the ... | 02:10 |
| jetole | ... logs are gone which will also include anything saved from dmesg which may help explain the crash after you reboot | 02:10 |
| Gnea | leachim6: well if you don't have the key, you can't bind to it, simple as that. or is it a fn? | 02:10 |

| leachim6 | jetole, was that "i told you so" really worth it? | 02:17 |
| jetole | rww: it doesn't but some of us do need it for example I use nvidia cards and nouveau isn't mature yet IMHO | 02:17 |
| rww | jetole: I know. I was commenting on the concept of default xorg.conf settings :\ | 02:18 |
| kannan_ | jetole: sorry about that. i don't use irc that often and there were only 5 or 6 lines. | 02:18 |
| jetole | rww: I see | 02:18 |
| === Pinako is now known as Katrin16Iceland | ||
| kannan_ | rww: i don't understand. what do you mean xorg.conf does not exist? i have a /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. | 02:19 |
| jetole | leachim6: it wasn't an I told you so. You were wrong that you can save anything to RAM and I gave you a good reason why you shouldn't use it as a cache / buffer for your logs plus I asked you why you would want to. Please don't be so defensive | 02:19 |
| === Katrin16Iceland is now known as Pinako | ||
| jetole | kannan_: understood | 02:19 |
| rww | kannan_: by default, Ubuntu doesn't generate an xorg.conf file. If you have one, and you don't have a reason (as jetole mentioned) for having one, you might try moving it (say, to xorg.conf.old) and seeing if that helps. | 02:19 |
| jetole | kannan_: since, well at least 10.04 and maybe even 9.10, ubuntu doesn't create one when you log install it | 02:19 |
| leachim6 | jetole, it's not saved, it's just stored in a ramdisk until the computer is turned off, it limits disk writes to make an SSD last longr | 02:19 |
| leachim6 | *longer | 02:19 |
| === Prodego is now known as administrivia | ||
| leachim6 | I know how ram works | 02:20 |
| jetole | leachim6: I see | 02:20 |
| jetole | leachim6: well that doesn't seem like a bad idea | 02:20 |
| leachim6 | XD | 02:20 |
| tyler_d | if you configure openvpn with nm-applet where is the config file stored? | 02:20 |
| kannan_ | rww: thanks. i think i got the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file because i have a nvidia card and use the nvidia binary driver. | 02:20 |
| jetole | leachim6: I know also if you use laptop-mode, it caches disk writes longer so it performs longer writes less often instead of shorter writes more often | 02:20 |
| rww | kannan_: ah | 02:21 |
| dustin | i accentently removed bottem panel and the programs when minamized doesnt show up , but the system task manger says its running. then time to time , it frezzes when i shutdown / restart. | 02:21 |
| jetole | kannan_: I forgot your original question but try taking a look at the progeam nvidia-settings | 02:21 |
| rww | kannan_: well, you may want to look into changing the InputDevice section. Most mice just use evdev now, not the mouse driver, and that might be throwing things off. | 02:21 |
| kannan_ | jetole: but that does only monitor settings and i am good. I want to change my mouse settings. | 02:21 |
| rww | I don't know much about the subject, though, because both of my computers work fine out of the box (ati and intel). | 02:22 |
| jetole | kannan_: ah yeah right. Now I remember | 02:22 |
| jetole | kannan_: I mean I remember your question. Don't remember the mouse specifics but try reading: man xorg.conf | 02:22 |
| kannan_ | rww: thanks. i did some google research and did come across evdev driver but all the references were from 2008 or older. | 02:22 |
| jetole | rww: do you have any experience with dual screens on ati? I did years ago and it was !@#$ but I haven't tried in a while and am hoping it has since improved | 02:23 |
| Wiesshund | jetole i have ati and dual screens | 02:23 |
| rww | jetole: nope, sorry. i keep meaning to try it (my card has two outputs), but don't have anything handy to test | 02:23 |
| kannan_ | jetole: is there some howtos about the mouse settings? | 02:24 |

| edbian | jeaton, press shift while booting | 02:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeaton, "hold" shift might be an easier direction | 02:28 |
| Wiesshund | jetole, basicly plug in other monitor, boot up, set it how you like in catalyst control panel | 02:29 |

| HowardTheDuck | Gnea, well, im in the market for a laptop and i can either get amd with ati graphics, or intel core i-X with intel graphics | 02:35 |
| leachim6 | is it possible to use xmodmap to map a function to a key that's not on your keyboard? | 02:35 |
| HowardTheDuck | i'd like to know whats better and more supported in Ubuntu | 02:35 |
| nexes | HowardTheDuck: Compiz should work on just about any hardware. | 02:36 |
| Gnea | HowardTheDuck: historically and recently, intel wins in that department, but nvidia reigns king | 02:36 |
| HowardTheDuck | Gnea, yeah see, I only use Nvidia | 02:36 |
| HowardTheDuck | I'm dissapointed to see no Nvidia offerings in the laptop market | 02:36 |
| Gnea | HowardTheDuck: perhaps you haven't looked at all laptops then | 02:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | HowardTheDuck, there are portables with Nvidia - they usually cost about twice as much ;) | 02:37 |
| leachim6 | or better | 02:37 |
| Diamondcite | ION2 is supposed to be for laptops isn't it? (Though I don't know if it's supported) | 02:37 |
| leachim6 | what's xmodmap's name for the Page Down fucntion? | 02:37 |
| HowardTheDuck | ZykoticK9, well, I dont have a high price range | 02:37 |
| ^Mike\b | gnewb: sure, but there are many java packages... | 02:37 |
| nexes | HowardTheDuck: You should realize, by the way, that Intel IGP's are just that: integrated. There's a huge difference between an Intel IGP and an AMD/Nvidia discrete card. | 02:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | HowardTheDuck, personally I'd go with Intel over ATI any day - but don't expect amazing graphics performance is all | 02:38 |
| jonthue | question how will this internet ID that obama is proposing affect ubuntu | 02:38 |
| HowardTheDuck | nexes, well these are laptops, none of them are a discreet card. the ATI ones even use sys ram | 02:38 |

| nexes | HowardTheDuck: Ah, interesting. I only tend to go Intel in my notebooks, so perhaps that's why I haven't seen it. | 02:39 |
| Gnea | HowardTheDuck: unless you're looking for something newer | 02:39 |

| HowardTheDuck | rambam, no it comes with windows soemthing or other that is getting formatted first thing | 02:48 |
| cj23 | oh yep | 02:49 |
| manmountain | For example, to have XChat have a quick launch icon on panel? | 02:49 |
| HowardTheDuck | the pentium 2 isn't very speedy though, i'd want i3 hehe | 02:49 |
| nexes | manmountain: Yeah, you can actually drag them from the Applications menu onto the desktop (they won't disappear from the app menu like in Windows) | 02:49 |
| rambam | HowardTheDuck: buy from some other place then, why pay for windows? | 02:49 |
| lee__ | it's cold... | 02:49 |
| Frijolie | how do you fix a non scrolling mouse wheel (it was working prior to the last round of updates)? | 02:49 |
| jetole | cj23: sorta | 02:49 |
| jetole | busy with other stuff | 02:49 |
| HowardTheDuck | rambam, recommendations? | 02:49 |
| lee__ | oh my...god! | 02:49 |
| h00k | manmountain: you can just click-and-drag it from the menu to the top panel | 02:49 |
| manmountain | lol - so simple! Cheers :) | 02:49 |
| rambam | HowardTheDuck: no, im in sweden, so.. unless you're here.. but im sure others know, if not, just google | 02:50 |
| h00k | manmountain: :) | 02:50 |
| Diamondcite | HowardTheDuck: A compatability wiki for the posted linked you had... http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+g560 | 02:50 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck 399 ofr a P2 laptop? | 02:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Frijolie, if you use an xorg.conf file verify you have the following under InputDevice/for Mouse: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" | 02:50 |
| Frijolie | the mouse works on another computer so I know it's not the mouse. is there a configuration setting that changed or somewhere I can start looking? | 02:50 |
| cj23 | oh ok you think you'll be free some time in the next couple of days | 02:50 |
| HowardTheDuck | Wiesshund, yes | 02:50 |
| jetole | cj23: what do you need? | 02:50 |
| lee__ | um... | 02:50 |
| lee__ | um.. | 02:50 |
| cj23 | are you sure | 02:50 |
| lee__ | um.. | 02:50 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck that seems kind of steep for a used or old stock laptop. you said pentium 2 right? | 02:51 |
| Frijolie | ZykoticK9, how do I know if I use xorg.conf? I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 | 02:51 |
| cj23 | jetole: | 02:51 |
| Brad__ | Is there any way I can stop ubuntu from locking the computer after a certain amount of time. | 02:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | i didnt mean p2 i meant dual core sorry | 02:51 |
| dustin | manmountain, yes , just find it in the menu , and click and hold drap to desired spot | 02:51 |
| rambam | Brad__: Screensaver? | 02:51 |
| h00k | lee__: This is the support channel, do you have any support related questions? | 02:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | 2.00 ghz | 02:51 |
| Wiesshund | Brad__ you can change that in the screen saver setting | 02:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Frijolie, do you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If you do, then you are using it - if it's not there, you aren't. | 02:51 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck oh ok, ignore me then :) sorry | 02:52 |
| HowardTheDuck | its a newegg 48 hour sale, not as powerful as I want, but at that price still very tempting! | 02:52 |
| HowardTheDuck | Wiesshund, no I misspoke I"m sorry :) | 02:52 |
| Frijolie | ZykoticK9, opened a blank file so I guess I'm not using it. | 02:52 |
| === michael is now known as Guest38472 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Frijolie, sorry i have no idea where the mouse settings are stored if it's using the automatic settings - best of luck. | 02:53 |
| Frijolie | ZykoticK9, hmm...well thanks for trying | 02:53 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck whats your intentions for it? If got one of those cheap 200 dollar asus eeepc's and for what i use it for, youd never no that it was a weak little crap box | 02:53 |
| Wiesshund | If = Iv'e | 02:53 |
| HowardTheDuck | Wiesshund, I want to be able to do video encoding | 02:54 |

| HowardTheDuck | Mencoder's one of my favorite apps | 02:54 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck Ah, ok, yea you dont want an eeepc then hehe | 02:54 |
| HowardTheDuck | I build my gf a athlon x4 quad core but I've been hogging it heh | 02:55 |

| eshira | A general security question: I want to POST to a server, but I want to authenticate the person doing the POST. I'm thinking of encrypting the content with the user's private key, and then the sever will decrypt it using the user's public key. What's the best way of doing this? GPG? | 02:56 |
| k0d3g3ar_ | eshira, and what does this have to do with Ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| cj23 | jestole I was just wondering if I have a partition like http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 and my fdisk -i results were http://pastebin.com/qRLzS6da if I want to shrink sda2 and then expand sda1 should I just use ntfsresize -s and tell how big in megabytes or do it by starting blocks | 02:57 |
| HowardTheDuck | I have a laptop now that has integrated Intel video, pretty old, and compiz doesn't work on it | 02:57 |
| lee__ | oh my.. | 02:57 |
| bencahill | Hi guys, i still can't get this new 10.10 install to boot, any help? :( i've tried rw /bin/bash, rw /init/sbin, noapic, vga=791, irqpoll, noacpi, and nolapic, to no avail :( | 02:57 |
| HowardTheDuck | I just want to make sure I don't get a new core-i3 and can't even use compiz on it | 02:57 |
| lee__ | im victim!.. | 02:57 |
| eshira | k0d3g3ar_: it doesn't. I just have no idea what IRC channel to go to. | 02:57 |
| k0d3g3ar_ | not here | 02:58 |
| Gnea | lee__: what? | 02:58 |
| h00k | lee__: Do you have any Ubuntu support related questions? | 02:58 |
| maco | HowardTheDuck: new intels handle compiz just fine | 02:58 |
| HowardTheDuck | thanks! now to see if they will handle fallout 3 lol | 02:58 |
| Pici | eshira: ##web perhaps, or ##programming, #freenode might have a better suggestion. | 02:58 |
| maco | HowardTheDuck: i *only* use intel, and my computers from 2002, 2006, 2008, and 2010 can all do compiz | 02:58 |
| eshira | Pici: thanks, i'll try them. | 02:58 |
| manmountain | Love the wobbly windows :) | 02:58 |
| KM0201 | maco: mine (915) despite complains about it, handles compiz fine... i just hate it, so i use "NONE"... :) | 02:59 |
| HowardTheDuck | maco, thanks man. I may get Intel HM55 | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | manmountain: it gets old real fast | 02:59 |
| manmountain | I'm temped to see how well Ubuntu runs on my real hardware. | 02:59 |
| craigbass1976 | Howard, I don't know where you're getting a new laptop, but the last two times I've been in Staples, they let me buy the laptop and try ubuntu on it, then would have let me return it if I wasn't satisfied. I tried both right in the store, but they were both acers with amd chips... | 03:00 |
| cj23 | oops jetole I spelled your name wrong when asking you sorry | 03:00 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck for what its forth, the little atom powered eeepc with cheap video even runs compiz with a reasonable amount of effects | 03:00 |
| bencahill | !tab | cj233 | 03:00 |
| ubottu | cj233: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:00 |
| bencahill | !tab | cj23 | 03:00 |
| ubottu | cj23: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:00 |
| jetole | cj23: what? | 03:00 |
| bencahill | FAIL! | 03:00 |
| jetole | cj23: oh I see | 03:00 |
| jPuff | i wanna set up a dual boot where vista can access ubuntu's files and ubuntu vista's | 03:01 |
| maco | KM0201: i think i have 845, 945, 965, and whatevers on an atom n450 | 03:01 |
| jetole | cj23: one sec | 03:01 |
| HowardTheDuck | Wiesshund, really? so you can do the cube and all that on an eeepc? | 03:01 |
| Wiesshund | jPuff vista is going to have a hard time reading ext4 fs | 03:01 |
| bencahill | I suppose ubuntu is simply not up to supporting my hardware? sad. :-( | 03:01 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: what gives you that idea? | 03:01 |
| cj23 | ok jetole, i guess it's in mega giga or kilo bytes | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: blame the manufacturers of the hardware | 03:02 |
| jetole | cj23: you can't really shrink sda2 and expand sda one because sda2 needs to have the same start and as I can see from your fdisk post, sda2 starts where sda1 ends | 03:02 |
| Wiesshund | bencahill you migh try a previous version of ubuntu, or if your hardware is kind of old, you might try puppy which is built from ubuntu | 03:02 |
| bencahill | KM0201, ActionParsnip: I know, I'm just desparate, because I haven't got this thing to work yet :( | 03:02 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: if it's a new install, why not just reinstal, and see if its something you did on the install? | 03:02 |
| jPuff | so maybe i could have th' ubuntu move th' files to th' vista partition? ^^ | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: or try Lubuntu | 03:02 |
| jetole | cj23: so in your case, you can't really grow sda1 using the traditional / tested by me method. | 03:02 |
| bencahill | KM0201: it never booted once, installed fine... | 03:02 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: is this an old laptop? | 03:02 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: just cuz it apparently installed fine, doesn't mean something didn't go fubar... | 03:03 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck I have the rotating cube, and one of the alt tab mods running, alot of the other eye candy annoys me | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: no idea, I just love Lubuntu | 03:03 |
| jetole | cj23: what is on /dev/sda2? | 03:03 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: that's the last thing i put on it, it doesn't boot either, hangs at /scripts/init-bottom, same as ubuntu | 03:03 |
| jPuff | how do i delete shortcuts on my apps menu? | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: runs on pretty much anything | 03:03 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: lol.. oh ok.. i got the impression it ws a really new aptop. | 03:03 |
| cj23 | data and linux swap | 03:03 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: i agree, i like it.. i'm not in love w/ it like you are, but i do like ti | 03:03 |
| bencahill | KM0201: yes, but not too...athlon 3200+ 512mb ram | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 03:03 |
| IdleOne | jPuff: right click > Edit menu | 03:03 |
| rallias | Is it possible to install a UPnP server on Ubuntu? | 03:03 |
| michael_ | ibook g4 powerpc, anything in fullscreen leads to weird changing colors screen | 03:03 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: yes, has nothing to do with that :) | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: also loving xpud :D | 03:04 |
| cj23 | I could just wipe out the entire data and linux swap after | 03:04 |
| cj23 | backing up | 03:04 |
| HowardTheDuck | Wiesshund, yeah cool. im probably now going to do the cube, but plug in a monitor and have a dual screen setup if possible. i'm pretty sure all new laptops do that though? | 03:04 |
| HowardTheDuck | cna you have dual monitor in ubuntu from a laptop? | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: try some boot options then is all I can suggest | 03:04 |
| Wiesshund | jPuff yes ubuntu can read/write the ntfs partitions fine providing they arent encrypted or compressed. and to delete shortcuts right click menu and pick edit | 03:04 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: the machine never ran the ubuntu livecd, although the lubuntu livecd did work (i used the alt when installing ubuntu) | 03:04 |
| jetole | cj23: what is you remove the partition. You can remove the swap and backup the data. Completely remove sda2, grow sda1 then re create a new sd2 from scratch using the free space | 03:04 |
| HowardTheDuck | well dual screen, laptop + one monitor | 03:04 |
| KM0201 | HowardTheDuck: as long as the lapto GPU supports dual head under Linux(nvidia is real easy) | 03:04 |
| nexes | bencahill: Ubuntu won't run well with 512MB of RAM. You should really consider something lighter, at minimum Xubuntu. | 03:04 |
| jPuff | IdleOne thank you :D | 03:04 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: i've tried rw /bin/bash, rw /init/sbin, noapic, vga=791, irqpoll, noacpi, and nolapic, to no avail :( | 03:04 |
| jPuff | Wiesshund thank you :D | 03:04 |
| KM0201 | nexes: ubuntu will run fine w/ 512mb of ram, it just sucks using the live cd... | 03:05 |
| jetole | cj23: you can also put swap into a flat file which is not a bad idea despite the urban legend surrounding it which is based on old kernels where partition swap was better some 10 years ago | 03:05 |
| Wiesshund | HowardTheDuck dual monitors on laptop depends alot on the laptops video hardware | 03:05 |
| leachim6 | I ran it on 128 | 03:05 |
| bencahill | nexes: i know, but it should boot, and i have lubuntu on it now, still doesn't boot | 03:05 |
| leachim6 | w/ openbox mind you | 03:05 |
| HowardTheDuck | Intel HM55? | 03:05 |
| bencahill | KM0201: right :) | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: hmm, got latest BIOS? | 03:05 |
| nexes | KM0201: My previous desktop really struggled with 1GB plus Firefox and Flash. | 03:05 |
| jetole | cj23: for example you create a swap file called /swap.img that is whatever size you like and then list that as your swap space in /etc/fstab | 03:05 |
| cj23 | jetole: the problem is people said my os stuff where dlls and that stuff goes needs to be no mroe than 9 or 10 gigs and i did that.. I have no program files on there and hardly anything but yet I have only a gig to spare and microsoft visual C++ wants to donwload its crap on C: ( this sda1 where the os is at and the dlls as mentioned ) | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: tested RAM health? | 03:05 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: i would just try a clean nstall of 10.10, see if it still fails w/ the same prob. | 03:05 |
| nexes | KM0201: I love Ubuntu, but it's a wee bit bloated. | 03:05 |
| cj23 | that's why I want to enlarge it basically | 03:05 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: haven't checked...grub2 works fine, as does the start of the boot process | 03:05 |
| Euthanatos | im on lucid but there's a package for maverick i'd like to use how can i grab that package? | 03:05 |
| KM0201 | nexes: then you had some other issue... i admit ubuntu is bloated, but it will run just fine w/ 512mb of ram.. but the live CD will suck... | 03:06 |
| bencahill | KM0201: these are all clean installs, they have never booted once :) | 03:06 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: so i take it you have already tried to reinstall | 03:06 |
| jetole | cj23: you got some pretty bad advice there | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: worth a check, also disable as much of the BIOS functionality as you can to make the hardware limited nd basic | 03:06 |
| bencahill | KM0201: or i.e. i never got it to boot | 03:06 |
| manmountain | Speaking of bloat, I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu for real, whats a comfortable partition size? | 03:06 |
| bencahill | KM0201: yes, several times | 03:06 |
| jetole | cj23: what is on sda2 besides swap? | 03:06 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest89207 | ||
| KM0201 | bencahill: ok, so that likely rules that out.... how exactly are you trying to set up your system | 03:06 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: it doesn't have anything like that, only boot order, hdd test, and showing what you've got :) | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jetole: you can't store data in swap partitions | 03:07 |
| cj23 | my data | 03:07 |
| jetole | ActionParsnip: what? | 03:07 |
| Guest89207 | 好玩吗？ | 03:07 |
| GoodMourning | How do I find good channels? | 03:07 |

| Guest89207 | 怎么都说英语？ | 03:07 |
| bencahill | KM0201: it's a 32gb ssd ide (:P) laptop, and i just want to use it for web browsing, video viewing... | 03:07 |
| cj23 | microsofts freaking part fo the problem for forcing there massive visual C++ on C: | 03:07 |
| Zvrk | cj23, where is your ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: ridficulous? :D | 03:07 |
| cj23 | *stinking | 03:07 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: ok, how did you partition the ssd for ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jetole: there can be no user data or OS data stored in a partiton used as swap | 03:07 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: what did i dismiss? | 03:07 |
| Guest89207 | 你们都是哪国人？ | 03:07 |
| manmountain | lol | 03:07 |
| jetole | ActionParsnip: you can store whatever you like in any kind of partition you like. a partition type is just a byte long string which the OS can choose to treat however you like | 03:07 |
| bencahill | KM0201: ubuntu/lubuntu default | 03:08 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 03:08 |
| cj23 | why would MS do that | 03:08 |

| jetole | ActionParsnip: don't know where you read that but you are wrong and cj23 said there is data and swap so I want to be sure that he doesn't accidently delete something important | 03:08 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: strange, so you'ev tried Ubuntu and Lubuntu, both w/o success? | 03:08 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: i was saying that the bios doesn't have anything for turning off features, it's quite old :) | 03:08 |
| lee__ | do you speak korean? | 03:08 |
| bencahill | KM0201: yes, that is correct | 03:09 |

| KM0201 | wel, driver/hal... i'm assuming it's something ubuntu isn't picking up | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: sure it does, you can disable USB and onboard audio etc. I have a P200 backup server where you can turn hardware off and on | 03:09 |

| shentino | as in 0xdeadbeef | 03:11 |
| cj23 | jetole: yeah I could back it up | 03:11 |
| bencahill | KM0201: and this is a slow(er) ssd, windows wouldn't run well on it | 03:11 |
| mobius55 | hey guys, i keep losing video when trying to install ubuntu, how can I work around that? | 03:11 |
| cj23 | jetole: ok one sec please | 03:11 |
| KM0201 | bencahill: hmm. | 03:11 |
| Euthanatos | im on lucid but there's a package for maverick i'd like to use how can i grab that package? | 03:12 |
| Wiesshund | cj23 i just picked the location from the custom install | 03:12 |
| manmountain | Just worried that I go through a real install and have some hardware problems / compatibility issues. | 03:12 |
| manmountain | As I'm a super newbie | 03:13 |
| Wiesshund | manmountain can you see query window/tab ? | 03:13 |
| cj23 | a partition or a drive | 03:13 |
| jetole | cj23: back up all data on sda2. delete the partition sda2, expand sda1 to be whatever size you like, and then exapnd ntfs on sda1 to fit the size of the partition (ntfsresize has an option to expand to maximum size which fits the partition size) | 03:13 |
| cj23 | Wiesshund: | 03:13 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, This is what I was playing around with: http://pastebin.com/0DJAFttP | 03:13 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, your solution was much simpler | 03:13 |
| jetole | cj23: expand the partition to be whatever size you like that is not so big you overwrite sda3 I mean | 03:13 |
| Wiesshund | cj23 E is a drive for me (separate physical) but i doubt that matters | 03:13 |
| svdasein | I'm having some trouble seeing past the initrd load when installing via a serial console - does anyone here have experience w/ that or know a better forum to ask in? | 03:14 |
| rusivi | manmountain: Your best bet is to plunk around in a Live CD environment see how your hardware reacts, Ubuntu's pretty good about OEM interop. If your crutched to Windows 7 that just image it then do a native install. The native install doesn't work, re-image your disk to Windows 7, no harm, no foul. | 03:14 |
| cj23 | I used a external could that matter | 03:14 |
| cj23 | oops Wiesshund | 03:14 |
| jetole | svdasein: #ubuntu-server | 03:14 |
| svdasein | jetole: thanks | 03:14 |
| Wiesshund | cj23 i would not think so | 03:15 |
| cj23 | jetole do you need the fdisk post still | 03:15 |
| jetole | cj23: I'm gonna be afk for hours so good luck on this and it seems Wiesshund can help | 03:15 |
| Senix | how to i view the "Standard.dic" that open office uses? | 03:15 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: not this, the only things you can change are: time/date, a few passwords, boot order and floppy/cd enable/disable, f10 delay, parallel port mode, and hdd self-test (that is from looking at every single page and option right now) :) | 03:15 |
| jetole | cj23: ... nope | 03:15 |
| jetole | cj23: good luck | 03:15 |
| cj23 | thank you so much | 03:15 |

| === roaming is now known as INFURNO_ | ||
| cj23 | Wiesshund: it splits the download on the internet download for the 8 parts you download and install into two : 245 or something mbs for my external and 2 gigs for C: I put in the ext hdd location and it still dows it. | 03:17 |
| mobius55 | rusivi: Natty? | 03:17 |
| mobius55 | im trying to installl of a flash drive | 03:17 |

| m0ngr31 | DEAD_BEEF: my way is a little simpler though. thanks for the help! | 03:19 |
| DEAD_BEEF | m0ngr31, pretty sure it even works. I just saved what you had pasted to a file and search it using the script. | 03:20 |

| HaPK_PerCar | People, I'm trying to mount an iso with executable bit enabled, but I'm sure on how to do it with the mount command on the terminal. Does anyone know? | 03:21 |
| mobius55 | I was told once that there was a command for computers with display issues | 03:21 |
| rusivi | mobius55: Basically, 64-bit in general across all distro's is not as heavily developed for & tested against in comparison to 32-bit, I could crash a Windows 64-bit fresh install installing only MSFT provided software. If you have some need for 64-bit than may want to redirect to Lucid 64-bit. | 03:21 |

| hroberts | can someone help me with an upgrade issue? I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade, it installed the new kernel. When I did a reboot, I get GRUBs menu, but no matter which option I choose the server will not boot | 03:28 |

| jgruber | I see, I'm sorry I can't help | 03:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | HaPK_PerCar, to install things with wine from a cd - just use "wine /media/CDROM/PROGRAM.EXE" to get around the Gnome executable issue. | 03:29 |
| cj23 | So backing up the entire partition using dd if = dev/sda2/ of = output will backup the table as well | 03:30 |

| toa | Quick question - I'm trying to copy a directory recursively with a hard drive that has bad sectors and I don't want it to stop and retry copying a dozen times at errors. I didn't see a cp switch that would allow this. Would dd be a better option? I've never used it. | 03:33 |
| georgedefunk | Not sure, it's a broadcom though | 03:33 |
| georgedefunk | I've never had to install wireless drivers on ubuntu before | 03:33 |
| mevkurray | toa: maybe rsync --ignore-errors ??? not sure | 03:33 |
| KM0201 | georgedefunk: in a terminal type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and find your wireless device to see which broadcom it is | 03:34 |
| hroberts | georgedefunk: Broadcom is a different puppy though | 03:34 |
| IdleOne | hroberts: select the previous kernel at boot to get the server up and you can also try #ubuntu-server and see if there is any help there | 03:34 |
| KM0201 | hroberts: not really, broadcom is pretty easy nowdays... | 03:34 |
| hroberts | KM0201: i haven't had any luck with them without using proprietary drivers | 03:34 |

I then do an apt-get dist-upgrade and my kernal goes from 2.6.35.22-generic-pae to 2.6.35.24-generic-pae, it re-writes grub and now no matter which selection I choose either 22 or 24, or either recovery | 03:47 |
| etz | Thanks | 03:47 |
| nowimproved | dust that makes sense | 03:47 |

| toa | mevkurray, jgruber, I'm trying the rsync string now, but it's still grinding over and over. It eventually skips the file, but not after grinding on it for 3 minutes. | 03:48 |

| hroberts | can anyone help me with that dist-upgrade issue? | 03:50 |
| hroberts | I have loaded the server 4 times and it happens everytime | 03:50 |
| nowimproved | Wiesshund, that's a great answer. I was seriously thinking about asking a doctor. | 03:50 |
| nowimproved | IF I got one more recommendation to see one. | 03:50 |
| toa | mevkurray, yes. It'll take well over three days at this speed, though. | 03:51 |

| kriscolt | can someone point me in the right direction: I'm trying to get my shiny new 10.10 install to play nice with my HDPVR-1250 capture card. I am able to see video in tvtime, but i can't get any sound | 03:54 |
| michael_ | i'm using an ibook g4 with powerpc, radeon, when i try to do anything fullscreen i get the whole screen changing random colors slowly | 03:54 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: Are you trying to get analog or a digital signal in? | 03:56 |
| kriscolt | jgruber, i'm running a coax from my cable box to the capture card... so i'm not really sure. | 03:57 |
| hroberts | wedwo" that is correct | 03:57 |
| mevkurray | toa, got a windows box hanging around? | 03:58 |

| wedwo- | hroberts, use a live CD to apt-get install Startup-Manager and use it to fix grub | 04:00 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: If it's a coax coming from the fios box itself, and not from the pole (or an outside antenna) probably analog. What channel number, and can you tune different channels by entering different channel numbers? | 04:00 |
| kriscolt | jgruber, if i tune to channell 3 i can see video | 04:01 |
| kriscolt | but i have to use the cable box remote to change the channels | 04:01 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: ok--almost certainly analog. ... | 04:01 |
| hroberts | wedwo-: use the live cd on the server? i have tried this, how do I get it to load the HD image to be able to install startup manager | 04:02 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: When you plug in the device I think a new alsa device should show up, eg. in the sound menu--I'd start by looking for that. | 04:02 |

| kriscolt | the card came preinstalled into the box... | 04:06 |
| Freeaqingme_ | Can I use a nvidia card together with an ati card? I dont have to drag windows from one card to another, but I would like to use them simultaneously | 04:06 |
| kriscolt | so there's no way to unplug it | 04:06 |
| kriscolt | no... i can disconnect the coax... | 04:07 |
| kriscolt | what's the command to see what's been plugged in and unplugged? | 04:07 |
| phichidev | #ubuntu-vn | 04:07 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: oh dear. If I were you I would look at /var/log/syslog for startup messages for the video device and then around that point for error messages about the audio device | 04:07 |
| kriscolt | i used to know a command... but it escapes me at the moment, that i used to us when i plugged in those little usb wifi dongles | 04:08 |
| kriscolt | ^^use | 04:08 |
| bucky | kriscolt, lsusb ? | 04:08 |
| kriscolt | hmm... that's it... that wouldn't work here though | 04:09 |
| kriscolt | lspci is the one i would probably need | 04:09 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: I don't know of a special command. you could use lspci for a capture board, but that will just tell you the board is installed, and you know that because you get video | 04:09 |
| ubnoob | anyone know how to open a .p7s file | 04:10 |
| kriscolt | this is true... | 04:10 |
| kriscolt | i get sound from every other application... | 04:10 |
| kriscolt | maybe it's just 'tvtime' | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ubnoob: install p7zip-full and p7zip-rar and unp | 04:10 |
| kriscolt | do you know of another tv-capture app that i could try? | 04:10 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: you mean you get sound from the capture card from other applications | 04:10 |
| kriscolt | no | 04:10 |
| kriscolt | i mean i can play a wav file | 04:10 |
| bucky | kriscolt, maybe it has to do with pulseaudio if it's a sound problem | 04:11 |
| em | ActionParsnip: ahh. I wonder then if there's any way to just disable the trackpad while keeping the mouse. I really don't like the trackpad on this laptop since Ubuntu doesnt let me use the right click, so how can I use it without a right click? | 04:11 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: i've used vlc and mplayer with my 950Q | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | em: if you run: lsmod you may be able to see a module which runs the pad, then run: sudo modprobe -r name to disable it | 04:11 |
| ubnoob | ActionParsnip, thanks you guys are like family! I love ubuntu. | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | em: if its wrong or things misbehave then just reboot | 04:12 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: I've tested just the audio by using arecord from the alsa device my 950q adds and pipe it to aplay | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ubnoob: i'm not sure it'll definately work, but it makes sense | 04:12 |
| kriscolt | jgruber, do i need any sort of additional plugin to have vlc work the way i want to or just apt-get install vlc | 04:13 |
| ubnoob | ActionParsnip: i'll be back to let you know | 04:13 |
| * ActionParsnip loves unp :) | 04:13 | |

| em | ActionParsnip: in case I ever wanted to turn it back on? | 04:14 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: I didn't need a plugin, just vlc | 04:15 |
| kriscolt | jgruber, ok... i'm sort of there... | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | em: sudo modprobe name | 04:16 |
| kriscolt | but i'm not sure how to set up the capture device... | 04:16 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: it took me a little time to figure out how to set it up, vlc has been changing | 04:16 |
| kriscolt | it's under DVB... | 04:16 |
| em | ActionParsnip: you just type sudo modprobe name and it activates it again? | 04:16 |

| _jesse_ | blah, how can I tell gnome-terminal to stop intercepting my function keys? | 04:17 |

| dextro_ | the remote ssh host only accepts a password login (no keys) | 04:17 |
| dextro_ | am i effed? | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dextro_: you can mount sshfs | 04:18 |
| dextro_ | the remote host also closes idle ssh connectinos | 04:18 |
| dextro_ | its a webhost | 04:18 |
| dextro_ | im just using it for storage | 04:18 |
| _jesse_ | never mind, I think I've figured it out | 04:19 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: under capture, then video for linux 2 -- you'll need the name of the video and audio devices | 04:19 |
| Tempus_Fugit | hey all | 04:19 |
| toa | mevkurray, haha funny to go to windows for a solution. I'll give it a shot. | 04:20 |
| kriscolt | jgruber, is there a simple way to find the path to the vid/aud devs? | 04:20 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: video would probably be your only /dev/videox device (maybe /dev/video0) | 04:21 |
| bc81 | i tried to install a game (an old windows game) by mounting the iso with gmountiso. now i have an entry in the nautilus places that wont go away, and isn't in fstab/mtab. any way to get rid of this? | 04:21 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: audio is tougher. alsa uses funny names and you probably have other audio input on your computer to confuse things (if you have a sound card) | 04:22 |
| kriscolt | in my dev folder i've got video0, video1, video2 | 04:22 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: you could try trial and error for audio devices once you find them | 04:22 |
| gnewb | bc81: I think so, but make a backup first, then rm | 04:22 |
| kriscolt | :) nice... of course the audio would be the fun part | 04:22 |
| DaGeek247 | bc81 : tried unmounting it? | 04:22 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: I don't know why you would have more than one video capture device. multiple formats of the same picture, maybe??? | 04:23 |
| meganINthehouse | irc.spotchat.org | 04:24 |
| bc81 | hi gnewb i did remove the mount directory (/media/iso1) but its still there. here's a screenshot: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/581/screenshotcomputer.png yes, DaGeek247 i did unmount it now when i go to mount it it says "Unable to mount JAZZCDError mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, | 04:24 |
| bc81 | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 04:24 |

| bc81 | ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) | 04:24 |
| meganINthehouse | /server irc.spotchat.org | 04:24 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: before you go to far, is the device listed as one that works for video on the linux-tv web site? | 04:24 |
| bc81 | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 04:24 |
| FloodBot2 | bc81: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:24 |
| bc81 | dmesg | tail or so" | 04:24 |
| paq7512 | would there be an advantage of formatting my drives ext4 instead of leaving them ntfs? | 04:24 |
| paq7512 | i have 3 internal ntfs drives | 04:24 |
| kriscolt | well there's the coax inputs on the back of the tower, composite inputs in the front, a couple of svideo inputs, there's a webcam plugged in... | 04:24 |
| ActionParsnip | paq7512: windows cannot access ext4 currently so if you need windows to access the data, keep it ntfs, the partitions are ntfs, not the drives | 04:25 |
| bc81 | sorry for flooding, i didn't know it would make line breaks | 04:25 |
| kriscolt | ok, video2 is definitely the webcam. | 04:25 |
| kriscolt | video1 crashes vlc | 04:25 |
| paq7512 | ok i am just running ubuntu solely | 04:25 |
| kriscolt | and video0 comes in all scrambled | 04:25 |
| jgruber | kriscolt: the tv app you are using is almost certainly using one of them if it sees video | 04:26 |
| DaGeek247 | bc81 cant help, sorry. my best thoughts are that you try it as root to make you have full access. | 04:26 |
| feyd | window show 4 | 04:27 |
| kriscolt | jgruber, ok, it's definitely video0 | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | paq7512: then ext4 should be more stable due to journalisation | 04:28 |
| kriscolt | but vlc pulls it in funny... i think i need to tweak some settings | 04:28 |

| jadarite | Hello, I am trying to install Edubuntu, but the problem might be the same as trying to install Ubuntu. I go through the installation process and then it tries to skip installation files. After that it just shuts off and doesn't restart. I have already tried obvious things like disconnecting and checking the DVD to make sure it's ok. Could it be a partition problem? | 06:02 |

| Spaztic_One | I have a question that may or may not be relevant to this channel... Can rhythmbox open protected mp3 files, even though technically it shouldn't be able to?

| jadarite | dustin, maybe not, what is the minimum? | 06:10 |
| nunya | is there someway to see what command is happening underneath something I do in GNOME? Like I use my function keys to volume up and volume down, and I would like to see the command line command that is happening underneath... if that makes sense | 06:10 |
| Gnea | okay, perhaps someone here can help shed some light on the subject, since #ubuntu-server is full of limited users that don't seem to know the difference between a whole disk and a partition | 06:10 |

| Gnea | I went as far as disconnecting the CDROM drive itself and that prompted the installer to ask if I wanted to detect it manually - it scanned everything, but didn't list /dev/sdb1 as an option, although it did attempt to use /dev/sdb. what is wrong with this? | 06:14 |
| twiztid | whats the most stable kernel that has the polling option? so i can use this workaround drm_kms_helper.poll=0 | 06:15 |
| dustin | nunya, right click on my name(menu) / open dialog window....... | 06:15 |
| Spaztic_One | gnea: can the computer for install boot off of a USB device? I would assume yes. You should be able to go into the BIOS and set USB as a bootable medium. You may have to change the order that it checks though. ...unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for. | 06:15 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: AFAIK yes, it's a dell precision 390 and I just hit F12 to set it as the device to boot from | 06:16 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: And it still isn't booting off of the USB? | 06:16 |
| dustin | twiztid, google it , system update , hardware update , look in blogs | 06:17 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: it BOOTS off of the USB, but Ubuntu *itself* refuses to accept the fact that the USB device itself is considered the CDROM device, so it never gets to the actual installation phase. | 06:17 |
| twiztid | dustin: have been :-( | 06:17 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: it goes to detect the CDROM and it comes up and says "you don't have anything to install from, you are screwed." | 06:17 |
| Spaztic_One | heh | 06:18 |
| Gnea | :) | 06:18 |
| Gnea | and yet, that's not supposed to be the case, and I know the files are there | 06:18 |
| dustin | gnea, true be threres others ways of doing it , your doing it the hardest way , and i have looked around alot | 06:18 |

| rollman | is their a time limit (in years) a person can still have still be able to use a usb dvd rom drive that's never been used? i mean do drives fail and go bad after long periods of no usage? | 06:18 |
| Spaztic_One | gnea: So, do you have an ISO or other image on the usb drive? (and just to clarify, this is an external drive, not a flash memory stick, correct?) | 06:19 |
| shcherbak | rollman: dust? Did you try to clean it? | 06:20 |
| ilon | how well are ubunto on handeling several PCIe gfx? | 06:20 |
| Gnea | dustin, Spaztic_One: I've physically disconnected the actual cdrom drive and that was able to get the installer to at least recognize the fact that it couldn't find anything via UDEV, and gave me the option to manually set it. When it went to scan, it scanned everything except the partition on the usb device itself. Tell me, what's wrong with this picture? | 06:20 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: Yes, the ISO is on the usb drive, no, it's a flash memory stick. | 06:20 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: USB drive is a sandisk cruser | 06:20 |
| rollman | never opened it just wondering if it's been a couple years or longer i never opened the box | 06:20 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: I tried on a sandisk cruzer blade as well, same deal | 06:21 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: Heh, not entirely sure whats going on. But you could try to mount the ISO to /media/disk or something and then have the installer query for drives, perhaps? | 06:21 |
| dustin | gnea, just a min im going through my library, | 06:21 |
| Gnea | ilon: in my experience, pretty well | 06:21 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: haven't tried that, one sec... | 06:21 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: I have no idea if that will work, though. | 06:21 |
| nunya | shcherbak: it doesn't tell me the exact command for the shortcut it just says XF86AudioLowerVolume | 06:22 |
| rollman | it's got plastic seal wrapped around it | 06:22 |
| ilon | Gnea: was thinking about using a 3gfx setup to enable the use of 3-6 monitors, just havent had any experience with multiple gfx in ubuntu so far | 06:23 |
| Gnea | ilon: 3gfx?! what's that? | 06:23 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: negative, tried it on /media/disk and then on /media by itself, it's full of fail. | 06:24 |
| shcherbak | nunya: amixer let you control volume lever from cli. | 06:24 |
| ilon | Gnea: well, need more than two monitors, and i found a rather cheap 3gfx SLI rigg that i'm thinking about buying | 06:24 |
| dustin | gnea, how big is your flash dirve , what brand is it? | 06:24 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: Eh, was worth a shot I guess... | 06:24 |
| Gnea | ilon: ah I see, nvidia is tested and true, ati leaves something to be desired | 06:24 |
| Gnea | dustin: as I said, it's a sandisk... 2gb | 06:25 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: indeed | 06:25 |
| dustin | sorry very busy , missed that | 06:25 |
| Gnea | np | 06:25 |
| ilon | Gnea: oh, well, guess i'll go with the idea on nvidia then, never actually bought myself an ATI card, ever. due to the properitary drivers for linux | 06:25 |
| ilon | Gnea: but the xorg handles separte videocards for multiple monitors quite well then i suppose? | 06:26 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: Wait, I think for it to be recognized as a cdrom drive, it needs to be /media/cdrom0 (or some other number, but 0 is a safe bet I think) | 06:26 |
| Gnea | ilon: as I understand it, getting more than 2 monitors to work on multiple ati cards in linux is simply impossible, and if it isn't, it isn't well documented at all | 06:26 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: k I'll give that a shot | 06:27 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: doing /media/drive was just putting it on the filesystem in that spot, but the cdrom0 should actually make it think its a drive. Again, I could be wrong.... | 06:27 |
| Spaztic_One | Gnea: Sorry if I'm not so good at this help thing. xD | 06:27 |
| ilon | Gnea: well, will yet have to see about nvidia cards then :D | 06:28 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: from what I've observed on tty4, it actually tries to mount anything except for that one partition | 06:28 |
| Gnea | Spaztic_One: and no, /media/cdrom0 didn't work either :) | 06:28 |
| Spaztic_One | Blast. | 06:28 |
| Gnea | yeah, I'm about set to give up for the night | 06:29 |
| Spaztic_One | yeah, I should probably go to bed. its 130 am for me | 06:29 |

| Ahrotahntee | greppy: I see that, but between that and XMing, which would you say is more popular/reliable | 06:51 |
| red2kic | gusg: I can't remember the command -- but I'm thinking if you tried to remove the files using apt-remove -- It would prompt that certain apps need those dependencies -- One way to find out. | 06:51 |

| madmn | can i network ubuntu from behind a router | 07:07 |
| dustin | ksinkar_for games it matter , early on it seemed you need to choose , but10.04 and higher doesnt so much, just what "flavor" and verion | 07:07 |
| greppy | madmn: you can configure your router to forward ports to your ubuntu server | 07:07 |
| madmn | okay | 07:08 |
| madmn | and how would i do that exactly | 07:08 |
| greppy | madmn: if you forward TCP 22 to your server, that should work. | 07:08 |
| dustin | ksinkar_,for games it matter , early on it seemed you need to choose , but10.04 and higher doesnt so much, just what "flavor" and verion | 07:08 |
| greppy | madmn: that is specific to your router, you may want to hit up google with the model and 'port forward' :) | 07:08 |
| madmn | right now i have to connect to like 192.168.1.103 | 07:08 |
| madmn | i want to be able to use my static ip | 07:09 |
| greppy | madmn: you need to configure your router to forward the port to your server. | 07:09 |
| JackyAlcine | GulfStream: Go to LibreOffice. ;) | 07:09 |
| GulfStream | JackyAlcine: What is the difference between them? | 07:10 |
| madmn | so once i port forward then how do i do it | 07:10 |
| ksinkar_ | dustin: the application i want to run is not a game, so should i use the beta version without any problems? | 07:10 |
| JackyAlcine | GulfStream: LibreOffice's a fork of OOo and it's the version that plans to not only *remain* free and for the community, but it's expected to have way more of a plugin system and more integration for *unix systems. | 07:11 |
| greppy | GulfStream: libre office is pretty much the future of openoffice, due to issues after oracle aquired sun | 07:11 |

| GHH | Any harm if i remove plymouth? | 07:14 |
| nicofs | I want a script to be run at startup... where can i put the command so that this works? | 07:15 |
| shcherbak | GHH: you can disable it no boot, usually it ask to remove ubuntu-desktop on removal. | 07:15 |
| dustin | ksinkar_ sure , but as soon as you start that program your computer will be a litlle jiddery, MAKE TOLTALL sURE YOU MET requirements, for wine will think it windows . then will act like it, good and bad , yes | 07:16 |
| shcherbak | nicofs: crontab for example, is it user script, or system-wide? | 07:16 |
| GHH | shcherbak, How ? and did not say me to remove ubuntu-desktop. | 07:16 |
| shcherbak | !boot | GHH | 07:17 |

| dustin | ksinkar_ but i got it from the web sit | 07:18 |
| nicofs | shcherbak, for a start, i would like to run something like "PATH=$PATH:/another/folder" as there is only one user on this machine, user-wide would be enough, but if you tell me both, i learned something... | 07:18 |
| dustin | ksinkar_, http://www.winehq.org/download/ | 07:18 |
| shcherbak | GHH: wrong, remove splash and eventually add noplymouth (press shift at boot and edit) | 07:19 |
| shcherbak | nicofs: You can add path in bashrc | 07:19 |
| GHH | shcherbak, How to remove splash? | 07:19 |
| nicofs | shcherbak, but doesn't that get executed as soon as i start a terminal? every time? | 07:20 |
| shcherbak | GHH: Boot, hold shift, in grub go to edit (press e) you will see line with all options, chnage them and Ctrl-x | 07:21 |
| GHH | shcherbak, But i want to edit it manually(from exactly location) | 07:21 |

| nicofs | shcherbak, that's what i did until now... and as long as it is only the "PATH" thing, that's ok... but i'd rather have something executed once and user-/system-wide after login/at startup... it's not exactly efficient programming to start it again and again with every terminal i start... | 07:25 |

| Richie086 | hey all, i am having an issue with apt-get. I am getting stuck in a loop where apt-get is telling me to do sudo apt-get -f install to fix the issue, but when i do that it throws me an error. Is there an apt-get command to tell apt-get to forget about trying to install the packages with dependency issues? | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Harpal: are there any bugs logged which sound similar | 08:23 |

| dustin | brontosaurusrex, why ? is it too crowded ? | 08:28 |

| piyushmishra | my question isn't directly related to ubuntu but is a close one. I am gonna buy a new motherboard and processor. shuld I go for 64 bit 8mb cache intel i5? I'll run 10.04 or 10.10 on it. also can I keep my current settings and applications by apt on cd? am on a 32 bit system now. also what other options do I have? | 08:33 |

| rigved | piyushmishra: it'll work without problems | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Rigved: if aptitude is outright better why is it dropped? In fact, why would the Linux experts at Canonical eve | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | N include it? | 08:34 |
| puppy | so to open a folder like Downloads I have to open any usb drive or ext hdd mounte on from desktop and then select the folder | 08:35 |
| razz11 | harpal: not sure it works like a breeze. hardly any config, though no GUI | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Rigved: why do about 90% of the official docs use apt-get? | 08:36 |
| rigved | ActionParsnip: actually i'm wondering the same thing...maybe apt-get is better...it maybe telling me to uninstall stuff so that there are no issues, as compared to aptitude which did not uninstall...no uninstall was my opinion then...i have not had any problems yet | 08:37 |
| piyushmishra | rigved: I can't decide which processor and motherboard to get. any hardware tht works good with ubuntu? | 08:37 |
| Scott` | not really | 08:37 |
| Scott` | ubuntu is pretty average with all hardware | 08:37 |
| Scott` | windows does it better really | 08:37 |
| rigved | piyushmishra: afaik, almost all work | 08:38 |
| Flannel | rigved, ActionParsnip: please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 08:38 |
| piyushmishra | hmm then which one do I buy? I got 20k inr for my processor, mother board and ram if needed | 08:38 |
| piyushmishra | flannel I guess that's for me too | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Rigved: its not better. Its just different. I have never use aptitude and i've never had an issue with dependency | 08:39 |
| rigved | piyushmishra: decide based on what you want...like will you be running virtual machines and stuff, then go for a VT enabled processor with a higher L2 cache... | 08:39 |
| dustin | piyushmishra, just a though , if your going for windows go for the power (wine too acts like it, via giuld wars as an exterme) when using linux , its just a monsster truck ,windows a car.. | 08:39 |
| shcherbak | Scott`: my FPS (cs) is 10% up in wine that win (apart of smoke sections) | 08:39 |
| Scott` | really | 08:39 |
| rigved | ActionParsnip: ok. point noted | 08:39 |
| razz11 | ActionParsnip: whats the best way to grab files from the the remote system, I am using SSH, can I use SCP to pull files from the server end | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | razz11: totally | 08:40 |
| greppy | razz11: yes. | 08:40 |
| Scott` | shcherbak: if your cpu is a bottleneck then yeah that makes sense | 08:40 |
| Scott` | windows is heavier than ubuntu | 08:40 |

| ice799 | hi there | 08:44 |
| ice799 | is it possible to modify sudoers to allow a user to run a specific command with sudo without needing a password? | 08:44 |
| ice799 | for example i want user X to be able to run sudo /usr/bin/blah without needing a password | 08:44 |
| JackyAlcine | ice799: add them to the root group. | 08:45 |

| ice799 | "let this dude wrun just this one thing with no password sudo" | 08:46 |
| ice799 | i THOUGHT | 08:46 |
| JackyAlcine | ice799: I mean, if you run sudo at least 3 times in the same terminal; it stops asking for a password. | 08:46 |
| JackyAlcine | ice799: Within a five-or-so minute period. Then it asks again. | 08:46 |
| ice799 | JackyAlcine: no this is for an automated script | 08:47 |

| abhinav_singh | how to create a user in ubuntu with home directory | 08:47 |

| kerozene | could someone estimate roughly how much fun it is to upgrade 8.04 lts to 10.04 on a basic web server type system? | 09:03 |
| dostokhan | Eagle, you can install the download accelerator from synaptic or software center. | 09:03 |
| made2shred | kerozene: alot | 09:03 |
| bootninja | kero, I'd reinstall from scratch rather than updating | 09:03 |
| ice799 | JackyAlcine: I got it. | 09:03 |
| ice799 | ok next question | 09:04 |
| ice799 | is there a way to ask apt which package a specific file on the filesystem belongs to? | 09:04 |
| JackyAlcine | ice799: How? And would you mind posting your results on Ubuntu Forums so others can benefits? | 09:04 |
| ice799 | say I have /usr/bin/x and i want to know which package /usr/bin/x came from? | 09:04 |
| kerozene | made2shred, bootninja: what kind of problems emerge? | 09:04 |
| JackyAlcine | ice799: Check the apt man pages. | 09:04 |
| ice799 | JackyAlcine: you can set /etc/sudoers such that it will allow you to run specific scripts using sudo with no password or tty attached and nothing else | 09:05 |
| madmn | 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: failed to add share pictures. Error was Operation not permitted | 09:05 |

| kerozene | made2shred: noted, definitely :) I'm just trying to understand what might happen | 09:05 |

| Eagle | ice799: FloodBot2: A Chill! Take it easy :-)) | 09:07 |

| madmn | whats that mean | 09:19 |
| madmn | or how do i allow a user to create a user share | 09:20 |
| dostokhan | madmn, that means current user doesn't have permission. | 09:20 |
| DThought | madmn: i suspect adding the user to group sambashare would help | 09:21 |
| sacarlson | madmn: you can change your sudoer of a user to require no password, that's my method of giving a user root ability without presence | 09:21 |
| Carsten- | I have some PPA's that have not cleanly been removed. Where can I find the repository text file so I may remove them manually... for the record, it's not /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 09:21 |

| Carsten- | guys ive been asking my questions for 10 mins, I understand if you dont know or just dont want to answer it, but could you please acknowledge the question atleast if you cant? | 09:23 |
| redPanda | Carsten- There are ppa purge if you haven't tried that. It's the only thing off my head. | 09:24 |
| dostokhan | madmn, let me check something. brb. | 09:24 |
| sacarlson | madmn: it could be that you are trying to share an ntfs file system that has no permisions to change, the only way to change that in that case would be at mount time | 09:24 |
| Carsten- | ppa purge did not work. its what started the problem | 09:24 |
| Carsten- | i mainly just need to know where the database text file is for ppa's so I can remove it | 09:25 |
| madmn | is there no way i can do it then | 09:26 |
| madmn | is was so easy for the first user | 09:26 |
| sacarlson | madmn: who owns the files you are trying to share? | 09:27 |
| madmn | there are in the users home directory | 09:27 |
| madmn | this one - madmn has like a pictures directory | 09:27 |
| sacarlson | madmn: it maters not where they are who owns them? | 09:27 |
| sacarlson | madmn: and who is trying to share them? | 09:28 |
| madmn | if there in the home directory then i would assume that user owns them | 09:28 |
| madmn | i am doing it with that user | 09:28 |

| ronr__ | Hi everyone. Fairly new to Ubuntu here. I've installed it on my media center, and using it on my TV. Is there any simlpe way to make all the fonts bigger saw that I could actually read from the sofa? | 09:32 |

| madmn | i understand that won't work | 09:33 |
| madmn | right now i am in the shane account | 09:33 |
| elky | ronr__, try pressing the control key and the + key at the same time. It's a common shortcut. | 09:33 |
| madmn | and when i try it in the shane account it does not work either | 09:33 |
| sacarlson | madmn: then maybe try share one of shanes directorys | 09:33 |
| madmn | i did | 09:34 |
| madmn | same error | 09:34 |

| dostokhan | madmn, and you're having problem sharing this file/folder from your "shane" account. but you can share files/folders when you're logged in as another user? | 09:37 |
| madmn | yes but i got something to work | 09:38 |
| madmn | i made a new folder and it lets me share that new folder | 09:38 |
| madmn | but not the pictures one the system made when the user was created | 09:38 |
| made2shred | madmn: chmod? | 09:39 |
| sacarlson | madmn: try go into System>administration>user & groups>manage gruops>properties then check all the boxes and see if it works then | 09:39 |
| barabashka | hi . I want invisible background in terminal-screenlets. How I do it? | 09:39 |
| === xfce is now known as gnome | ||
| ronr__ | elky: wasn't talking about the browser zoom-in. I'm familiar with that. I'm talking about all the system fonts. | 09:40 |
| JackyAlcine | ronr_: what's the issue? | 09:40 |
| sacarlson | madmn: just because you own the directory doesn't mean you own the files in it | 09:40 |
| elky | ronr__, oooh. sorry. system>appearances>customise iirc | 09:40 |
| elky | er, system>preferences>appearances | 09:41 |
| madmn | so how can i change that | 09:41 |
| madmn | how do i stop users from using a certain directory | 09:42 |
| === gnome is now known as LDXE | ||
| dostokhan | madmn, try this "chown -R madmn:madmn /home/madmn/Pictures" | 09:42 |
| wyclif | madmn: lock them out of the directory in question using permissions: chmod | 09:42 |
| madmn | as what user ? | 09:42 |
| sacarlson | madmn: did adding yourself to the groups not fix it? | 09:42 |
| barabashka | Can you halp me? | 09:43 |
| Dice-Man | hello | 09:43 |
| Dice-Man | barabashka: sure what is the problem ? | 09:43 |
| barabashka | Dice-Man: litle problem | 09:43 |

| === sgillet_ is now known as sgillet | ||

| shum | *do I | 09:45 |
| Dice-Man | barabashka: come on ask your question | 09:45 |
| Dice-Man | barabashka: no need spend more time in useless words | 09:45 |
| sacarlson | madmn: I was afread of that windows 7 come into the picture so it's probly an ntfs file system | 09:45 |
| Dice-Man | barabashka: let's go the thing directly | 09:45 |
| === sgillet is now known as sgillet_ | ||
| madmn | yeah but i should be able to let him see certain folders and not others correct | 09:46 |
| origins | I want to record the total volumn of in and out traffic on a net interface (specifically a mobile broadband connection) over a period of days. Anyone know a simple tool? | 09:46 |
| shum | origins: wireshark can probably do that | 09:46 |
| sacarlson | madmn: that a different problem, one problem at a time please | 09:47 |
| llutz | origins: vnstat | 09:47 |
| madmn | ok sorry | 09:47 |
| madmn | so should i log back into the madmn account | 09:47 |
| madmn | or should i stay in shane ? | 09:47 |
| origins | shum, llutz: thanks. i looks now. | 09:47 |
| classical_ | what software can i use to record my desktop ? i want lighter one :))) | 09:47 |
| llutz | origins: just the volumn or the content too? | 09:47 |
| origins | llutz: Just volume. Think I.m getting screwed on my allowance. | 09:48 |
| sacarlson | madmn: I would use a user that is part of the sudo group | 09:48 |
| dustin | recocdmydesktop | 09:48 |
| llutz | origins: so forget wireshark | 09:48 |
| barabashka | I can't chang option background in terminal-screenlets. I want invisible background in terminal-screenlets. sorry i bad understend en. | 09:48 |
| madmn | okay brb | 09:48 |
| dustin | classical_, recocdmydesktop | 09:48 |
| origins | vnstat looks just right. Thanks, | 09:49 |
| madmn | okay i am back in as madmn | 09:49 |
| ronr__ | elky: thanks. do you know how I can change the font that is used in nautilus? it seems that all the changes I've made don't affect it. | 09:49 |
| madmn | so what should i do | 09:49 |
| shum | can anyone help me with my graphics problem? | 09:49 |
| HugoKuo | how to attach a patch to netcfg ? | 09:50 |
| madmn | what command do i type again | 09:51 |
| madmn | the chmod one | 09:51 |
| razz11 | which one is the preferred rsync frontend, back in time or lucky backup | 09:51 |
| barabashka | Dice-Man: how I do it? | 09:51 |
| paranoidi | running ubuntu server, it seems that the latest kernel packages boot in non-text mode (1024x768) .. how can I stop this? My 8" TFT does NOT support it :( | 09:51 |
| dostokhan | madmn, try this two commands one after another: "sudo chown -R madmn:madmn /home/madmn/Pictures" and "sudo chmod -R u+rwX /home/madmn/Pictures" | 09:51 |
| sacarlson | madmn: madmn: try go into System>administration>user & groups>manage gruops>properties then check all the boxes and see if it works then | 09:52 |
| Dice-Man | barabashka: look at the screenlet properties ? | 09:52 |
| elky | ronr__, hrm, application font does but it might take a while, or you might need to logout and log back in again | 09:52 |
| Dice-Man | right clik on it ? | 09:52 |
| shum | HugoKuo: if you have the netcfg source and a .patch file generally you'd open a terminal, go into the source directory and type something like 'patch -p1 < name-of-patch.patch | 09:52 |
| dostokhan | madmn, go to System> | 09:52 |
| HugoKuo | thanks let me try it shum | 09:53 |
| elky | ronr__, the application font change will take quite a lot of time to hit all the applications open | 09:53 |
| ronr__ | elky: I see. ok, I'll wait and see if it changes :) | 09:53 |
| madmn | its still not doing the pictures directory | 09:53 |
| madmn | i think cause it was created when the user was created right? | 09:54 |
| dostokhan | madmn, go to System>Administration>Samba and preferences>samba user. see if madmn is there or not. | 09:54 |
| user | oi | 09:54 |
| sacarlson | dostokhan: madmn: dostokhan method might also work if it's not an ntfs file system | 09:54 |
| user | alifia | 09:54 |
| ronr__ | elky: ah, it works in a new window, great. thanks. | 09:54 |
| barabashka | Dice-Man: yes, I chang properties of colours but don't work it | 09:54 |
| elky | ronr__, yeah, nautilus is annoying :P | 09:54 |
| madmn | i don't see samba in there | 09:54 |
| dustin | DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOTE DESKTOP SETUP,, from htc evo 4g? | 09:55 |
| razz11 | anyone use rsync, just need a good front end, any suggestions. I am looking at backintime or luckybackup | 09:55 |
| madmn | under preferences | 09:55 |
| sacarlson | madmn: just check all the boxes as instructed and you will also be a part of samba | 09:55 |
| ronr__ | elky: well, I'm still trying to get the hang of it. at work I use Fedora, and the rest of my computers are windows. it's just that htpc's require special tweaking :) | 09:56 |
| dustin | !remote desktop|dustin | 09:56 |
| dostokhan | madmn, in samba go to preferences>samba user. | 09:56 |
| dustin | !sever|dustin | 09:56 |
| dostokhan | sacarlson, i believe he's already part of samba. | 09:56 |
| madmn | i see no samba at all | 09:57 |
| sacarlson | dostokhan: yes I do too but I think he attepts to share files the don't belong to him in the dir he tries to share | 09:57 |
| madmn | but all the users have check marks in them all three users | 09:57 |
| === sgillet_ is now known as sgillet | ||
| sacarlson | dostokhan: the other posibility is he tries to share files that don't belong to anyone or root since they are monted from an ntfs system they won't be changeable | 09:58 |
| madmn | i don't see anything for samba at all but i do believe its installed | 09:58 |
| ronr__ | elky: no doubt, font size 18 does the trick :p | 09:59 |
| elky | ronr__, :D | 09:59 |
| dostokhan | madmn, two ques. tell me the directory you're trying to share. you can't find system>administration>samba? | 09:59 |
| ronr__ | now I need to find out how to change the clock to work in 24hour mode and not 12hour mode. | 09:59 |
| madmn | nope | 09:59 |
| madmn | i see nothing there | 09:59 |
| bullgard4 | Is there an English IT term "to telephone home" meaning a computer program is reporting back to the program manufacturer some usage details of the user of the program? Or what is the technical term for this? | 09:59 |
| madmn | no samba | 09:59 |
| elky | ronr__, right click it > preferences | 09:59 |
| sacarlson | madmn: maybe this user isn't in the samba group | 10:00 |
| madmn | i think when i did id madmn it was | 10:00 |

| opc_0de | Hi, Can anyone please tell me how to determine whether the CPU is 32-bit or 64-bit, I am running Ubuntu 10.10. | 10:01 |
| madmn | no these files are on the ubuntu server which i am on right now | 10:01 |
| ronr__ | elky: ok, that's just embarassing :) | 10:01 |
| madmn | in the home directory | 10:01 |
| snimavat | ? | 10:01 |
| elky | ronr__, you're used to fighting for this stuff ;) | 10:01 |
| madmn | there is a pictures directory | 10:01 |
| madmn | i want to share that with certain users | 10:02 |
| dostokhan | madmn, did you try the command chmod and chown i wrote before? | 10:02 |
| sacarlson | madmn: I think my original quick dirty method to verfy you are not in some needed group and just become a part of all of them would take secounds | 10:02 |
| madmn | can you do it again i am in the sudo account now | 10:02 |
| ronr__ | elky: probably :) now, I may ask for blasphemy, but is there a way to avoid being asked for my password every time I want to install updates? | 10:02 |
| snimavat | Can any one help me partitioning my new HDD | 10:02 |
| madmn | whats the command again | 10:03 |
| shum | opc_0de: uname -a will tell you whether you have 32bit or 64bit ubuntu installed, it'll either have x86 or x86_64 | 10:03 |
| dostokhan | madmn, follow sacarlson | 10:03 |
| elky | ronr__, no sorry. | 10:03 |
| sacarlson | madmn: if you want to share with cirtain users maybe ssh share would be easier | 10:03 |
| ronr__ | maybe I should change my password to something simpler then :p | 10:03 |
| alifia | oi | 10:03 |
| madmn | okay tell me how then | 10:03 |
| alifia | oi | 10:03 |
| madmn | i don't care what method i use | 10:03 |
| multiplatinum | hello, i tried a command to change my computer name but now it's defaulting to "localhost" instead of the name i wanted, any help? | 10:04 |
| opc_0de | shum: hmm, but it's possible that you can have a 32 bit OS running on a 64-bit system right? So i was asking if there was a more like a hardware info I can read somewhere | 10:04 |
| sacarlson | madmn: but you want to share with windows I"m not sure what they support in ssh | 10:04 |
| ronr__ | I also have his annoying issue with VLC where sometimes I get a second-pause in sound, but I guess this is not the right place to ask about it. | 10:04 |
| sacarlson | madmn: for ssh share it's as simple as sudo apt-get install ssh | 10:05 |
| multiplatinum | hello, i tried a command to change my computer name but now it's defaulting to "localhost" instead of the name i wanted, any help? | 10:05 |
| madmn | i can see the ubuntu server in the network list and then i see this box i double click on the server and up pops the folders i have shared | 10:05 |
| Dice-Man | barabashka: check out opacity | 10:05 |
| opc_0de | multiplatinum: you mean hostname? edit /etc/hostname and update it with the new name. | 10:05 |
| ronr__ | elky: what about not asking me for my password every time I come back frmo idle? is that possible? | 10:05 |
| elky | ronr__, you can try. i recommend first turning off the blingy stuff in appearances | 10:05 |
| madmn | done i installed ssh | 10:06 |
| multiplatinum | opc_0de, i've done that but it got messed up somehow? :S | 10:06 |
| sacarlson | madmn: so it works now? | 10:06 |
| elky | ronr__, sure, make screensaver not lock the screen | 10:06 |

| hceylan | 1. The alps touch pad is not recognized by the kernel | 10:07 |
| elky | ronr__, it'll be set to the middle option, you'll want to put it on the top options. it's under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects | 10:07 |
| madmn | madmn@madmn-desktop:~$ id madmn | 10:07 |
| madmn | uid=1000(madmn) gid=1000(madmn) groups=1000(madmn),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),105(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),1003(samba) | 10:07 |
| madmn | madmn@madmn-desktop:~$ | 10:07 |
| madmn | that what it returns | 10:07 |
| hceylan | 2. The screen brightness is not reponding from the keyboard or from the config screens | 10:07 |
| henrik__ | hi! will i lose my data if i do "sudo do-release-upgrade"? from 8.10 to 9.04 | 10:07 |
| hceylan | can anyone help me? | 10:07 |
| elky | madmn, please use the pastebin next time, ok? :) | 10:07 |
| made2shred | madmn: use a pastebin is your copying lines from a terminal | 10:07 |
| opc_0de | multiplatinum, : These are the only two things I do when I want to change the hostname - 1) run "hostname <new_name>", 2)update /etc/hostname 3)reboot | 10:07 |
| sacarlson | madmn: I don't think that's all the groups so I assume you didn't follow my instructions | 10:08 |
| made2shred | elky: lol we both said about pastebins at the same time | 10:08 |
| barabashka | Dice-Man: I chang opacity but no effect (0-255) | 10:08 |
| multiplatinum | opc_0de, i did this command: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname | 10:08 |
| ronr__ | elky: I've already set it to 'None' before. Not sure what that has to do with the sound pauses though (unless you weren't referring to that). | 10:08 |
| madmn | i did the ssh install | 10:08 |
| multiplatinum | opc_0de, i changed every old name to the new one, rebooted, and now it's messed up :S | 10:09 |
| madmn | like you told me too | 10:09 |
| opc_0de | Messedup how? what's changed? | 10:09 |
| elky | ronr__, well i don't know what your processor or anything is like, it was just a guess. | 10:09 |
| ronr__ | hmm, what's the default irc client in gnome? at work I use kde. | 10:09 |
| puppy | why movie player get opening when clicking folder under "palces" | 10:10 |
| sacarlson | madmn: if you want to move to ssh share you won't be using samba any more, you would (from another ubuntu) go to Places>Connect to sever>ssh | 10:10 |
| ronr__ | elky: it's atom :p | 10:10 |
| henrik__ | will i lose my data if i do "sudo do-release-upgrade"? from 8.10 to 9.04 | 10:10 |
| madmn | i would rather use samba share if i could | 10:10 |
| elky | ronr__, it's the one in empathy. i recommend either installing konversation or kopete if you want the ones you have at work already, or xchat if you want to try something new | 10:10 |
| madmn | if there is a way to get to to do what i want | 10:10 |
| abhinav_singh | how to assign sudo privileges to other users | 10:10 |
| sacarlson | madmn: then you would have to continue with adding you user to all groups | 10:10 |
| multiplatinum | opc_0de, when i log in, it says "Ubuntu 10.10" instead of a computer name (old or new), and when i open a terminal for example, it says @localhost instead of the new name, also, when i delete something, i can only empty the trash via the applet on my panel, nautilus blocks access :S | 10:10 |
| ronr__ | elky: konversation it is then. fairly comfortable with it by now. | 10:11 |
| madmn | is there a fast way to add myself to all the groups then ? | 10:11 |
| elky | ronr__, yeah, atoms can have some fun with decoding HD stuff on the fly if it's not the one with the fancy nvidia stuff | 10:11 |
| sacarlson | madmn: secounds as I instructed you before | 10:12 |
| ronr__ | elky: obviously, it is an ION based machine otherwise I wouldn't even try running HD on it. | 10:12 |
| ronr__ | is there a shortcut to open a terminal window? | 10:12 |
| sacarlson | madmn: should I send it a third time? | 10:12 |
| oCean | abhinav_singh: it's on the wiki http://goo.gl/TZfPX | 10:12 |
| madmn | please | 10:12 |
| elky | ronr__, then im not sure what it is, sorry | 10:12 |
| ronr__ | sorry, really a newbie here :p | 10:12 |
| IchGuckLive | Hi all i Generated yesterday a packege from a SVN Trunk, Cmake ,make mackage sudo install! -> now today there are changes to the SVN do i have to remove the packet from synaptic first and delete the packet in the generated Folder AND then generate new by cmake | 10:12 |
| madmn | i must have missed the post in this window | 10:12 |
| llutz | abhinav_singh: adjust /etc/suoders or add them to "admin" group for full sudo-access | 10:12 |
| elky | ronr__, nah, you're doing well | 10:12 |
| llutz | sudoers* | 10:13 |
| ronr__ | elky: that's ok. it may be the alsa drivers I've installed. there was an update last night, so it may have fixed the pause issues. | 10:13 |
| galanakis | I'm looking for a tiling window manager, what's easy to get working? | 10:13 |
| opc_0de | multiplatinum: hmm, Yeah that's messed up!!, Can you paste following data - 1) new hostname, 2)content of { /etc/hostname , /etc/hosts} on pastebin and paste the link here? | 10:13 |
| sacarlson | madmn: this is the third and last time I'm sending this: go to System>Administration>Samba and preferences>samba user. see if madmn is there or not. | 10:13 |
| multiplatinum | ok opc_0de | 10:14 |
| ronr__ | assuming I'm not confusing alsa with something else :p | 10:14 |
| madmn | i dont have a samba under preferences | 10:14 |
| sacarlson | madmn: sorry wrong line | 10:14 |
| elky | ronr__, alsa is sound stuff, yes | 10:14 |
| sacarlson | madmn: I have to backup and find the correct line this time | 10:14 |
| multiplatinum | opc_0de, how do i retrieve "new hostname"? or are you just asking for the new name it should display? | 10:15 |
| ronr__ | elky: good, I'm getting the hang of things. there's so much more tweaking that needs to be done. | 10:15 |
| mrintegrity | hi, when i print a file with numbers in it, some numbers are printed as a null character []. It doesn't matter if the file is in pdf format or plain text. Nor does it seem to matter if I save it with ASCII or utf encoding. How can i fix this? | 10:16 |

| elky | ronr__, meh, you're talking about computers, the tweaking is /never/ done :D | 10:16 |

| opc_0de | multiplatinum: "new hostname" is the name the new hostname you want your computer to be updated to | 10:16 |

| jmkgreen | is there a server version of this channel? | 10:21 |
| tasse | got any idea mrintegrity ? i'm behind a vpn . | 10:21 |
| DThought | lestat: the apt.conf way seems the cleanest to me | 10:21 |
| DJones | jmkgreen: #ubuntu-server | 10:21 |
| mrintegrity | tasse: probably your vpn service blocks it... ? | 10:21 |
| sacarlson | madmn: ok and I also found you can share in window 7 with ssh http://superuser.com/questions/67551/mounting-ssh-sftp-shares-on-windows-7 | 10:21 |

| jetole | Hey guys. I use gnubiff to check for new email and it lets you pick any icon you want for read mail and new mail. I picked the following two icons which are included in ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10: /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/24/indicator-messages-new.svg and /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/24/indicator-messages.svg. In ubuntu 10.04 these worked fine with the default gnome dark theme that comes with ubuntu however in 10.10 the transparent ... | 10:22 |
| numbfall | i removed my ubuntu drive manually, now i cant boot into windows from other drive, grub goes rescue "no such device".. any idea how i can boot into windows | 10:22 |
| jetole | ... part of the icon is appearing white on the gnome panel. Does anyone know how I can fix this or if I even can? Should I file a bug report with ubuntu? | 10:22 |
| tasse | yeah thats why i installed windows to try it - and there it works [same vpn] | 10:22 |
| mrintegrity | numbfall: boot the windows install cd and reinstall the windows bootloader. alternatively reinstall grub configuration from the ubuntu cd | 10:22 |
| tasse | and my mate, that uses the same vpn next to me and also ubuntu 10.04 doesnt have the problem | 10:23 |
| mrintegrity | tasse: ok, sorry but i don't know | 10:23 |
| sacarlson | madmn: so that's the solution for your secound problem with ssh you can only share with a user you have an account with | 10:23 |
| tasse | hm ok thanks.. | 10:23 |
| mrintegrity | tasse: check your firewall policy (iptables if you have it set up) | 10:23 |
| jetole | tasse: I missed your original question. What VPN are you using? | 10:23 |
| tasse | dont use a firewall | 10:23 |
| tasse | using the vpn of my university | 10:24 |
| madmn | okay all the boxes are checked now | 10:24 |
| madmn | should i restart | 10:24 |
| madmn | or log out and back in ? | 10:24 |

| Zvrk | abhinav_singh, gnome ? | 10:26 |
| sacarlson | madmn: I don't think so it should work you are now a part of all those groups | 10:27 |
| tasse | and iptables -L just gives Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) | 10:27 |
| tasse | target prot opt source destination [same for INPUT/FORWARD] @ mrintegrity | 10:27 |
| Zvrk | abhinav_singh, using gnome ? | 10:27 |

| numbfall | mrintegrity: thanks .. i'll use the live ubuntu usb to reconfigure grub. | 10:27 |
| madmn | still the same error | 10:27 |
| sacarlson | madmn: if it still fails then it was my other thought it's an ntfs file system | 10:27 |
| madmn | i should see samba under system somewhere though right ? | 10:27 |

| erUSUL | snimavat: if you really want you can install the grub loader in the second disk and use bios to choose what disk to boot | 10:42 |
| madmn | snimavat, you probably want to install windows first then install ubuntu | 10:42 |
| erUSUL | snimavat: i do ot see the point of it though | 10:43 |

| kaushal | wherein i get notified if someone has responded to my email | 10:46 |
| kaushal | in ubuntu 10.10 | 10:46 |
| sacarlson | madmn: so I assume what you try to share is the files that were in the windows partition sda1? | 10:46 |
| snimavat | erUSUL?? | 10:46 |
| abhinav_singh | Zvrk yes | 10:46 |

| snimavat | and if i change bios, will win work? | 10:48 |
| snimavat | erUSUL | 10:48 |
| sacarlson | madmn: well last thing to look at cd into the dir you plan to share and ls -l | pastebinit | 10:48 |
| madmn | snimavat: i am pretty sure that windows has to be on the first partition | 10:48 |
| snimavat | its in the c drive of first HDD | 10:48 |

| madmn | nope | 10:54 |
| madmn | not the way you told me to type it | 10:54 |

| sacarlson | madmn: ok my mistake ls-l -d ~/Pictures | 10:55 |

| ne2k | snimavat: /boot doesn't have to be a dedicated partition | 10:58 |

| sacarlson | madmn: if you want to have access to your system from outside you need to setup your router to forward ports to your system ip, you should setup your system on your lan as static if that's your plan | 11:08 |
| ne2k | madmn: stop using carriage return as punctuation. describe succinctly in one line what you actually want to do, with details, including from where, to where, what. | 11:08 |
| madmn | what would you suggest is my best step sacarlson | 11:09 |
| madmn | whatever way will work the best | 11:09 |
| itguru | Does anyone have a handly link that I forward onto a friend, how to setup your ubuntu server to dial a pptp connection to your office :) | 11:09 |
| sacarlson | madmn: from outside I would only use ssh so forward port 22 to your static system ip | 11:09 |
| madmn | how do i tell my system ip is that my static ip ? | 11:09 |
| madmn | ok will try that thanks for all your help | 11:10 |
| itguru | sacarlson: don't use a standard ssh port - use a high port, like 12322, and forward that port to ssh port 22 internally | 11:10 |
| madmn | i really appreciate it | 11:10 |
| itguru | sorry madmn, that last comment was at you | 11:10 |
| raviepic3 | people, whats the shortcut key to push the active window to another desktop ? i searched manual and not able to find, am running gnome 10.04 v of ubuntu 64 bit | 11:10 |
| grigoriades | how to install on ubuntu all backtrack tools? | 11:10 |
| puppy | In 10.04 all function keys working on my Compaq Notebook,but in 10.10 the brightness key does not work.Why it so | 11:10 |
| raviepic3 | first of all is this possible ? | 11:10 |
| bazhang | grigoriades, get a list of them then install | 11:10 |
| sacarlson | itguru: good point madmn: don't use standard ssh port | 11:10 |
| madmn | okay will try something higher | 11:11 |
| ne2k | itguru: install pptp-linux then use: pppd noauth nobsdcomp nodeflate require-mppe-128 name $USERNAME password $PASSWORD remotename PPTP pty "pptp $PPTP_SERVER_IP --nolaunchpppd" | 11:11 |
| itguru | ne2k: SWEET! | 11:11 |
| grigoriades | <bazhang> how to find them and get a list of them? | 11:11 |
| * itguru realises that he has to figure it out, to be able to explain it to person in need! | 11:11 | |
| bazhang | grigoriades, check the backtrack channel or their support forums etc | 11:11 |
| ne2k | itguru: you may have to use route add -net $DESTINATION dev ppp0 after that too | 11:11 |
| bazhang | #backtrack-linux grigoriades | 11:11 |
| ne2k | itguru: depending on what the pptp server hands off to you automagically | 11:12 |
| grigoriades | <bazhang>me let me try | 11:12 |
| ne2k | itguru: there may be a GUIish way but that's what I use because I'm comfortable with it. it doesn't do keepalive or anything though so it's not perfect | 11:12 |
| itguru | ne2k: So, I guess a script will be handy to use | 11:13 |

| mkf00 | bazhang thanks, but i know how they work.. | 11:40 |
| mkf00 | but i dont know what they look like when installed freshly | 11:40 |
| g_ | whenever i insert my wacom bamboo x restarts. it never used to do this, how do i fix it? | 11:40 |
| mkf00 | how does, for example look your permissions for /bin/sudo at the moment bazhang? | 11:41 |
| bazhang | mkf00, this is because of something rkhunter alerted you to? its well known for generating false positives | 11:41 |
| raviepic3 | ne2k, when it says xf86Explorer which keys does it mean ? | 11:42 |
| bazhang | !grub2 | abualijawad read this first | 11:42 |
| ubottu | abualijawad read this first: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 11:42 |
| mkf00 | bazhang yes rkhunter alerted me, that the file permissions on such things like whereis, sudo, dsmesg, more, mount have changed | 11:43 |
| mkf00 | and i cant imagine why | 11:43 |
| ne2k | raviepic3: on "multimedia" keyboards, there is a key to open a file browser (which is so called because the file browser on windows is called Explorer). it probably looks like a computer | 11:43 |
| mkf00 | now i wanted to check what they usualy look like | 11:43 |

| sveinse | Hi. I'm about to write an CLI application that needs audio output (outside of X). Should I use ALSA or should I rather use PulseAudio? | 11:44 |
| meco | Since I upgraded to 10.0.4 LTS a few days ago, the PC crashes frequently. What should I do? | 11:45 |
| sveinse | My app will also need USB and BT audio in/out, so that is my main reason for considering PA | 11:45 |
| wwwyzzerdd | just read a forum thread stating that setting swappiness to 'zero' should increase system performance. i have a swap partition and two gigs of ram, is this advisable? | 11:46 |
| ne2k | meco: describe your crashing symptoms in more detail | 11:46 |
| ne2k | wwwyzzerdd: what is "swappiness"? | 11:46 |
| Gryllida | wwwyzzerdd: swap is usually half size of ram, only used if you're out of ram at some point | 11:46 |
| mkf00 | wwyzzerdd not really | 11:46 |
| mkf00 | the swap only is useds for the least used file operations when normal ram doesnt do it | 11:47 |
| ne2k | Gryllida: swap is normally twice the size of RAM the way Ubuntu installs things, I think | 11:47 |
| Gryllida | ok | 11:47 |
| mkf00 | the unix memory managedment is considered very effective | 11:47 |

| WobblyWindow | hello there! I'm learning python, and i'm stuck trying to "integrate" two programs (in two files)... i need to launch the second through the first, passing parameters to it (variables). Is there a good tutorial on how to work with multiple files? thanks | 12:28 |

| greenbit | hey guys, noob q here... | 12:35 |
| psycho_oreos | !ask| greenbit | 12:35 |
| ubottu | greenbit: 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. :-) | 12:35 |
| greenbit | o ok | 12:35 |
| greenbit | :) | 12:35 |
| greenbit | how do i run a task in the background on a server i have ssh'ed to? my tasks die when i close the console window on my client | 12:36 |
| DJones | !screen | greenbit | 12:36 |
| ubottu | greenbit: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 12:36 |
| greenbit | id rather keep it console for security reasons | 12:36 |
| === Guest42588 is now known as RaNdY | ||
| sipior | greenbit: you might try reading that link first. | 12:37 |
| psycho_oreos | screen is still technically part of console :) it just another shell prompt inside the program | 12:37 |
| === RaNdY is now known as Guest19536 | ||
| greenbit | oh i see, thankyou. reading now... | 12:37 |
| ct529 | greenbit: redirect the output to a file and then close the command with &, for example: #command &> /dev/command.log & | 12:37 |
| ct529 | greenbit: that way the command is moved to background but both standard output and error output are redirected to command.log .... | 12:38 |
| === qwerty is now known as Guest11326 | ||
| psycho_oreos | there's also nohup | 12:38 |
| sipior | ct529: you would still need to prefix that with nohup or the like. | 12:38 |
| ct529 | greenbit: sorry /dev/command.log means in reality /path-to-wherever you like/command.log | 12:38 |
| D4V|DE | who help me for videochat with amsn? | 12:39 |
| greenbit | i see. ye :) im running a mongo server that does its own logging. whats the command without stdout redirection? | 12:39 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: I have tried to sort that out but have not been successful. To me it appears that Banshee 1.8.0 is still in development and the documentation too. -- Thank you for commenting. | 12:39 |
| ct529 | sipior: only if you actually log out .... so you do #nohup command &> /dev/command.log & | 12:40 |
| ct529 | sipior: but if you want to keep working in the same terminal it is ok without nohup | 12:40 |
| === denny_ is now known as denny | ||
| sipior | ct529: obviously. but he specifically mentions closing his terminal in the original question. | 12:40 |
| ct529 | greenbit: #nohup command & if you do not want redirection | 12:40 |
| greenbit | i see, could i ask what the nohup command does? does it fork a new process on the server? | 12:41 |
| ronny | hi | 12:41 |
| sipior | greenbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup | 12:42 |
| aeon-ltd | greenbit: type 'man nohup' to read all about | 12:42 |
| ronny | im a bit at loss - where do i configure the services for startup, i'd like to disable autostarting some | 12:42 |
| aeon-ltd | it | 12:42 |
| ct529 | greenbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup is not bad | 12:42 |
| greenbit | brilliant, thats exactly what i wanted | 12:43 |
| ct529 | greenbit: the standard output (file descriptor 1) and the standard error output (file descriptor 2) can be redirected separately or together using &> | 12:43 |
| ct529 | greenbit: I normally redirect them together ;) | 12:43 |
| greenbit | although i have realized that this is pretty silly, since if my server reboots id have to run it again. how do i edit the list of startup processes via ssh? | 12:44 |
| ct529 | greenbit: do you mean using upstart and services? | 12:44 |
| ct529 | greenbit: or using /etc/rc.xx | 12:45 |
| ric | quit | 12:46 |
| ct529 | ronny: could you please elaborate | 12:46 |

| icesword | what's mongo ? | 12:49 |
| ct529 | greenbit: I am sorry, but do not know mongo at all .... can you start it using inetd? | 12:49 |
| dustin | wolkarix_, how much work have you put into the so? | 12:49 |

| ronny | ct529: they completely seem to lack any docs on configuring it that way | 12:53 |

| razz11 | what does fmask and umask option in fstab mean? | 12:53 |
| ct529 | greenbit: I wouldn't .... | 12:53 |
| amaretto4u | i need help guys. There is problem with broken package libc6-dev after "apt-get upgrade" and -f option won't help | 12:54 |
| psycho_oreos | wolkarix_, which chipset/driver? fyi upgrading isn't really recommended as it may leave traces of old setup that may cause conflicts, etc | 12:54 |
| ct529 | greenbit: well, you could build a wrapper and put it into the /etc/rc.level you want, that would work | 12:54 |
| ct529 | greenbit: a wrapper would be your script.sh | 12:54 |
| wolkarix_ | ricoh | 12:54 |
| psycho_oreos | wolkarix_, hmm that's not particularly helpful, is the wireless device connected via USB? | 12:55 |
| wolkarix_ | no its inbuilt | 12:55 |
| greenbit | ct529: is that really the simplest ? | 12:56 |
| psycho_oreos | wolkarix_, ok, I need you to pastebin (not paste) me the output of your lspci -nnk | 12:56 |
| fenrig | hi | 12:56 |
| walkkenn | How do you post? | 12:56 |
| fenrig | after doing 'make install_modules' and long waiting I discovered that there was no new dir in /lib/modules when putting the 2.6.32-28 kernel together :o | 12:56 |
| fenrig | where dit it go ? source directory? | 12:56 |
| wolkarix_ | where to pastebin | 12:57 |
| greenbit | http://kalmbach.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/ubuntu-start-up-script-for-mongo-db-server/ looks like thats what i need? | 12:57 |

| ct529 | greenbit: well, it works well .... but that sayd there is the new upstart / service combination which possibly works better | 12:57 |
| greenbit | ct529: will read up on that | 12:57 |
| ct529 | greenbit: yes, this is exactly what I am telling you | 12:58 |
| ct529 | greenbit: the link you sent me | 12:58 |
| ct529 | greenbit: does the same thing | 12:58 |
| psycho_oreos | fenrig, I think usually if successful the modules goes into /lib/modules/`uname -r` directory but I think in your case there might have been errors with modules or there's no devices drivers set as module | 12:58 |
| dustin | wolkarix_, well heres the thing , i think this is a bug unforeseen , and its been around for 9.04 that i have personally known of , easisy way is to reinstall | 12:59 |
| fenrig | psycho_oreos :o o yeah that could be :o thx :) | 12:59 |
| howoriginalAU | Hi everyone | 12:59 |
| wolkarix_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/556503/ | 12:59 |
| ct529 | greenbit: what does the mongo server do, by the way? | 12:59 |
| greenbit | mongo is a database that uses high performance key value stores in json | 13:00 |
| greenbit | used it for my web app, seems decent | 13:00 |
| fenrig | psycho_oreos: first the modules get compiled and after a succesfull compilation it goes in /var/lib/... ? | 13:00 |
| wolkarix_ | psycho_oreos : http://paste.ubuntu.com/556503/ | 13:00 |
| ct529 | greenbit: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/04/get-to-know-linux-the-etcinitd-directory/ that can help you a bit | 13:00 |
| ct529 | ronny: by the way, http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/04/get-to-know-linux-the-etcinitd-directory/ could help you a bit as well! | 13:01 |
| psycho_oreos | fenrig, compile modules stays in the same directory as the source kernel | 13:01 |
| fenrig | psycho_oreos: then what goes in /var/lib/... ? | 13:02 |
| psycho_oreos | wolkarix_, yup I picked up that link before you reposted it, hmm | 13:02 |

| psycho_oreos | fenrig, have a check yourself, it seems like a mixture of various libraries | 13:03 |
| induz | hello how can I : Make sure the Universe repositories are enabled in your repositories list for gdebi will look for WordNet which is available only in the Universe. | 13:03 |
| bazhang | induz, check software sources in synaptic package manager | 13:03 |
| induz | so How can I add Universe Repo for Artha? | 13:04 |
| psycho_oreos | wolkarix_, have you tried a livecd/liveusb version of the same ubuntu as you now have upgraded? it might be the issue that dustin faced | 13:04 |
| bazhang | induz, for what? | 13:04 |
| === FredGeek_ is now known as FredGeek | ||
| fenrig | psycho_oreos: thx I'll retry ;) I'll be back | 13:04 |
| wolkarix_ | no i have installed 10.4 from live cd and upgraded it to 10.10 after 10 days | 13:05 |
| induz | for Artha is a handy English thesaurus having distinct features like | 13:05 |
| bazhang | induz, check in synaptic package manager, as I said | 13:06 |
| induz | Artha=off-line thesaurus based on WordNet | 13:06 |
| greenbit | i have another ruby script that i need running continuously. it has a .sh wrapper, should i just run it from within /etc/rc.local? | 13:06 |
| psycho_oreos | wolkarix_, well I guess ideally its best to get 10.10 image and see if the issue exists. If not then you may need to re-setup your ubuntu again | 13:06 |
| walkkenn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/556505/ | 13:06 |
| shashi859 | Artha is a very nice application, & past | 13:06 |
| rams | how can i install autoconf? | 13:07 |
| induz | bazhang, Artha is installed but version is OLD so i want a new version...how can i do that? | 13:07 |
| ct529 | walkkenn: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1507090.html look at that | 13:07 |
| walkkenn | grep -i eth doesn't seem to produce an output | 13:07 |
| aeon-ltd | !autoconf | 13:08 |
| ct529 | walkkenn: lspci | grep -i eth | 13:08 |
| ct529 | greenbit: either that or one of the others .... | 13:08 |
| jrib | rams: same way you install everything else: use APT. But why do you want to? | 13:09 |
| ct529 | greenbit: (like /etc/init.d) | 13:09 |
| shashi859 | induz: get source from the artha website & install using ./configure, make, make install | 13:09 |

| Hilarie | $HOME/.Oolite/AddOns where can I find that :( | 13:09 |
| Jean1 | I'm trying to install xfce on top of ubuntu server, just to be sure I've tried 2 times, but it installs gnome! This is crazy :) I use these commands: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core' and then 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop'. I can see it installing xfce things too but alot of gnome too and after startx I have gnome. | 13:09 |
| ct529 | uh oh I have to go | 13:10 |
| ct529 | enjoy the rest of your day | 13:10 |
| Hilarie | u2 | 13:10 |

| Jean1 | will try | 13:10 |
| Hilarie | @jrib Your a pretty lady you know that? | 13:10 |
| ra2011 | hi all, my Ubuntu 10.10 is unable to resolve names. I can ping a direct internet IP but not a servername. how can I fix that? | 13:10 |
| jetscreamer | hey so jockey didn't amend xorg.conf to enable the restricted nvidia driver, i had to do it manually | 13:10 |
| DeadPanda | Jean1, wild guess, but you need to tell aptitude not to install recommended packages by default, or by the time it's traversed recommended packages for all that you're installing you have half of gnome | 13:10 |
| jetscreamer | did i miss something? | 13:11 |
| jrib | Jean1: you don't use gdm? Why are you using "startx"? | 13:11 |
| Jean1 | yeah I'v got a full gnome install now, i don't want that | 13:11 |
| rams | jrib, i wanted to run some script, that on entering ./autogen.sh gave an error that autoconf is not found | 13:11 |
| jrib | rams: what script? | 13:11 |
| rams | jrib, i got it , its apt-get install autoconf | 13:11 |
| Jean1 | i assume best way to get rid of all the gnome stuff is to just install ubuntu server again? | 13:11 |
| jetscreamer | nah | 13:11 |
| Franks-BR | finally i ported the voodoo sound to the I9000B Latin!!! :D | 13:11 |
| Franks-BR | the sound is great!!!!! | 13:12 |
| jrib | rams: yes, but if you're compiling something, there's probably a better way. We have to know what the "something" is to tell though | 13:12 |
| rams | jrib, that is a X11 pluging | 13:12 |
| jetscreamer | apt-get remove --purge gnome* libgnome* or so.. debian has a factoind on it | 13:12 |
| jetscreamer | i forget exactly | 13:12 |
| rams | jrib, that is a X11 plugin | 13:12 |
| DeadPanda | Jean1, try aptitude -R install xubuntu-desktop | 13:12 |
| wolkarix_ | can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server | 13:12 |
| jrib | rams: just say what it is exactly, don't be vague :/ | 13:12 |
| jussi | !purekde | 13:12 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 13:12 |
| shcherbak | Jean1: no, remove gdm gnome-core and autoremove | 13:12 |
| frznlogic | ra2011: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 13:12 |
| Jean1 | DeadPanda i tried that | 13:12 |
| unreturn1d | ping | 13:13 |
| DeadPanda | Jean1, still wound up with half of gnome? | 13:13 |
| DeadPanda | Jean1, pita - any reason you can't use the xubuntu installer? | 13:13 |
| unreturn1d | hi2all | 13:13 |
| Jean1 | ok shcherbak ill try that | 13:13 |
| ra2011 | frznlogic:its empty! | 13:13 |
| Jean1 | i want ubuntu server first because the lamp | 13:13 |
| frznlogic | ra2011: if you are using dhcp, you need to either set up your dhcp to give out a dns, otherwise, set up one manually in the network-manager | 13:13 |
| walkkenn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/556509/ | 13:13 |
| smudgy | hi all - anyone know how to configure ubuntu to use traditional ifup instead of network manager ui? | 13:13 |
| Jean1 | it sets it up | 13:13 |
| wolkarix_ | can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server | 13:13 |
| shcherbak | Jean1: Also there may be "clean" xfce ppa | 13:14 |
| ra2011 | frznlogic:I'm not using dhcp | 13:14 |
| unreturn1d | peoples, who setting up the InterView Board on Ubuntu 10.04? How to install IRpads? | 13:14 |
| rams | jrib, see this: http://brej.org/blog/?p=158 | 13:15 |
| jrib | Jean1: you can use the xubuntu install and setup lamp just as easy (use tasksel), or you can install server and then install the "xubuntu-desktop" package to get xubuntu. Probably the only difference will be that with one you end up with the -generic kernel and with the other the -server kernel | 13:15 |
| ra2011 | frznlogic:I already configured my internal ip addr... | 13:15 |
| Jean1 | remove gdm gnome-core does not work, i guess i'll install ubuntu server again | 13:15 |
| frznlogic | ra2011: right click the network-manager, configure network connections, choose your connection, go to settings, go ipv4 settings, set dns servers | 13:15 |
| frznlogic | apply and test it | 13:15 |
| Jean1 | ok jrib | 13:15 |
| Hilarie | if there is no $HOME/.Oolite/AddOns do I just create one? | 13:15 |
| wolkarix_ | can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server | 13:16 |
| jrib | Hilarie: yeah | 13:16 |

| Jean1 | yues it is | 13:17 |
| rams | jrib, do you mean that using !compile i don't need autoconf to run the script? | 13:17 |
| Jean1 | i didn't believe it myself | 13:17 |
| jrib | Jean1: you never answered my original question. Why aren't you using a desktop manager and instead using startx? | 13:18 |
| jrib | rams: no, !compile just has the bot send you a useful link with information about compiling | 13:18 |
| jrib | abhinav_singh: hard links | 13:18 |
| Jean1 | jrib I use these commands that i read on a support site: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core' and then 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop', 'sudo startx' | 13:19 |

| abhinav_singh | ok jrib | 13:20 |
| PowerTux | tuxfrw, squid and msn-proxy in the same server, anyone knows how to redirect port 1863 ? | 13:20 |
| Jean1 | oh well, i ll just download xubuntu and then a lamp install | 13:20 |
| ra2011 | frznlogic: thanks for this tip | 13:20 |
| jrib | Jean1: that's just a waste of time. You likely have xfce AND gnome for whatever reason. But you aren't telling startx what you want so it picks gnome. If you use a desktop manager then, you can just select "xfce" at the login screen | 13:21 |
| nothingspecial | Jean1: xubuntu has a lot of gnome dependencies | 13:21 |
| Jean1 | jrib what command do i use | 13:22 |
| leejongwook | [Q] How do I open port 22 ? | 13:22 |
| jrib | !ssh > leejongwook | 13:22 |
| ubottu | leejongwook, please see my private message | 13:22 |
| wolkarix_ | plz can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server | 13:22 |
| jrib | Jean1: for example, install gdm with: sudo apt-get install gdm . Then when you reboot next you'll be presented with a login screen. Look for the dropdown to select your session, and select xfce before entering your login credentials | 13:22 |
| Jean1 | ok jrib thanks, and the best way to get rid of all the gnome stuff? | 13:23 |
| angelsl | hi, how do I make the path editable in Nautilus? | 13:23 |

| diecastarts | Hailz all // had 2 odd things.. one just started .. its really cool that it does this but nop idea how this started to happen... I can now fully controll my mouse with my gamepad .. is there a hotkey or something i may have hit by mistake??????? | 13:24 |
| shcherbak | angelsl: Ctrl-l | 13:24 |
| angelsl | shcherbak: how do I make that permanent? | 13:24 |
| ra2011 | frznlogic: Now its working, thank you very much! | 13:24 |
| leejongwook | port 22 is not responding | 13:24 |
| shcherbak | angelsl: no clue, maybe setting, maybe gconf-editor. | 13:25 |
| core | Ctrl-l ? nice, but how to make it unvisible ? | 13:25 |
| shcherbak | leejongwook: sudo netstat -tulp | 13:25 |

| shcherbak | *port* | 13:26 |
| angelsl | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreNautilusLocationBar <- found it. | 13:26 |
| jrib | leejongwook: firewall has no rules by default. Did you install openssh-server like ubottu's link instructed? | 13:26 |
| core | does anyone learning java programing? | 13:26 |
| ra2011 | frznlogic: do you know how can I get Remote Desktop Viewer working for a new session? | 13:27 |
| jrib | core: ##java can help you with that | 13:27 |
| leejongwook | jrib: Yes, and I didn't reboot my system yet. | 13:27 |
| leejongwook | SSHD is on. | 13:27 |
| jrib | leejongwook: can you « ssh localhost » successfully? | 13:27 |

| leejongwook | jrib: Yes | 13:27 |
| phoenix_ | chrome menu dosent turn up on nautilus, is it a bug ??? | 13:28 |
| jrib | leejongwook: where are you trying to ssh from that it fails? If there's some sort of router or firewall in between you need to take care to forward port 22 to the right computer (and not have the firewall block it) | 13:28 |
| Shin-LaC | my boss installed ubuntu desktop on our server instead of ubuntu server | 13:28 |
| _alex__ | hi all | 13:28 |
| Shin-LaC | should I delete it ans install ubuntu server instead? | 13:28 |
| jrib | Shin-LaC: if that's what you want | 13:29 |
| aeon-ltd | Shin-LaC: are you ever gonna need a GUI? if not then yes to save space | 13:29 |
| leejongwook | jrib: From Debian->Ubuntu == OK, From Ubuntu->Debian == Failed. | 13:29 |
| shcherbak | Shin-LaC: best way. | 13:29 |
| diecastarts | has anyone ever have this happen .. the gamepad controlling the mouse pointer???? i have full controll right click ectect | 13:29 |
| Shin-LaC | I guess he prefers having a GUI for administration | 13:29 |
| Shin-LaC | space is not that much of an issue | 13:29 |
| angelsl | sigh | 13:29 |
| Shin-LaC | I use ssh, of course | 13:29 |
| Shin-LaC | but you know | 13:29 |
| angelsl | why is it so hard to access a password-protected samba share that does not have a domain... | 13:30 |
| jrib | Shin-LaC: then leave ubuntu-desktop :/ | 13:30 |
| Shin-LaC | it seems that the server has a different kernel, though | 13:30 |
| jrib | Shin-LaC: so install that kernel | 13:30 |
| Shin-LaC | maybe I should install the server and add the gui? | 13:30 |
| aeon-ltd | Shin-LaC: yeah i'd keep it, then just remove the useless stuff under work hours :) hehhehhehe | 13:30 |
| Zaca12 | how do i mount a hard drive when i don't know the file system of the drive? | 13:30 |
| Shin-LaC | I guess what I'm asking is what I'm missing if I start from ubuntu desktop and add server components piecemeal | 13:30 |
| Shin-LaC | and if there are any security issues | 13:30 |
| leejongwook | jrib: No sorry, Ubuntu->Debian == OK, Debian->Ubuntu == Failed | 13:30 |
| jrib | Shin-LaC: just the server kernel, and you can install that and uninstall -generic if you wish | 13:31 |
| aeon-ltd | Shin-LaC: ubuntu doesn't have a firewall configured by default anyway, so you'd need that either way | 13:31 |
| shcherbak | Shin-LaC: Have you checked hardware, ram cpu, etc, all works nice? | 13:31 |
| phoenix_ | guys, does anyone know QT programming ? | 13:31 |
| aeon-ltd | Shin-LaC: my advice for max security use a bsd, its what they're knwon for | 13:31 |
| jrib | leejongwook: if « ssh localhost » works on the ubuntu machine, then it's likely a port/forwarding problem or firewall issue on the router. Have you ruled that out? | 13:31 |
| spidernet | hai evry 1 i want sendmail via konsole | 13:31 |
| aeon-ltd | phoenix_: ask in #qt ? | 13:31 |

| phoenix_ | yeah | 13:33 |
| phoenix_ | '/join #qt' | 13:33 |
| Shin-LaC | shcherbak: well, the motd mentions that "your CPU appears to be lacking expected security protections" | 13:33 |
| leejongwook | jrib: Yes, Ubuntu and Debian are right in front of me. | 13:33 |
| aeon-ltd | phoenix_: no quotes | 13:33 |

| Betzi | yes | 13:50 |

| netrat | Betzi, click places and you should see you win7 HD in there somewhere | 13:51 |
| Travis-42 | Most of the time when I press the "back" button on my mouse, the browser (firefox or chrome) jumps back two pages. Anyone know how to fix this? | 13:51 |
| netrat | Betzi, does it not show? | 13:51 |
| Betzi | no | 13:51 |
| Betzi | just the external hdd and all cd/floppy drives show up | 13:51 |

| ubottu | eross If you do need to manually install, have a look at makeinstall, that create's a deb file that you can remove relatively easily: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

| ngrstan | so i'm not sure if this is a crazy idea, but is there a way for me to shut ubuntu down but have it open up all my same programs / sessions etc upon reboot? | 14:07 |
| llutz | Struhevol: sudo depmod -a | 14:07 |
| Struhevol | no when i boot up | 14:08 |
| Struhevol | i get that | 14:08 |
| Struhevol | i cant do that | 14:08 |
| Struhevol | it takes me to intramfs command | 14:08 |
| ngrstan | i.e. make it behave like it's coming out of sleep, but from a full power down (and booting of other OS) | 14:08 |
| Jay45 | Hatchet214 | 14:09 |
| Onryo | netrat so the closet Ill get is gNewSense or Trisquel I take it. Quite like the look and feel of Trisquel. | 14:09 |
| sipior | ngrstan: you can use gnome-session to start up the same programs, but they will be in an initial state, not the one you left them in. | 14:09 |
| Struhevol | i do sudo command in initramfs command | 14:09 |

| irman | hi | 14:10 |
| JustMozzy | hey guys. I am having a weird problem and for several weeks I've been searching for a solution. after I upgraded to the latest ubuntu version my headphone jacks, the microphone jack, the integrated microphone and the webcam stopped working. can anyone help me out? | 14:10 |
| ngrstan | sipior: i want to be able to jump into my other OS without dumping my ubuntu session | 14:10 |
| sipior | ngrstan: you might consider running the other os as a VM under ubuntu | 14:11 |
| sipior | ngrstan: or vice-versa of course | 14:11 |
| ngrstan | sipior: but short of that, no way? | 14:11 |
| netrat | hibernate? | 14:11 |
| Oli`` | ngrstan: why don't you hibernate? | 14:11 |
| ngrstan | Oli``: because what i want to do involves the system rebooting - i have winxp on a separate partition | 14:12 |
| Oli`` | ngrstan: yes. hibernate writes the contents of RAM to disk and loads them up on the next boot | 14:12 |
| netrat | ngrstan, that doesn't make any sense, hibernate instead of reboot | 14:12 |
| ngrstan | so if i hibernate ubuntu, boot into winxp, reboot back into ubuntu, my session should persist? | 14:12 |
| netrat | ngrstan, yes | 14:13 |
| ngrstan | badass | 14:13 |
| Oli`` | ngrstan: pretty much | 14:13 |
| frznlogic | if hibernate works, yes | 14:13 |
| sipior | netrat: unless he hibernates in winxp as well. | 14:13 |
| Hilarie | Any here play oolite with a keyboard? | 14:13 |
| Oli`` | sipior: ? that's not true. You can hibernate both systems just fine | 14:13 |
| Hilarie | my pitch and roll get slightly off randomly and was wondering if there was a fix | 14:13 |
| netrat | sipior, he can hibernate in winxp too, that won't matter. the ram is stored on the filsystem, ubuntu and winxp will have seperate filesystems | 14:13 |
| sipior | Oli``: perhaps i' | 14:13 |
| sipior | m | 14:13 |
| sipior | Oli``: perhaps i'm mistaken. | 14:13 |
| sipior | that would be nice. | 14:14 |
| netrat | i meant to say the RAM is copied to the filesystem | 14:14 |
| Onryo | netrat the reason I asked was that under System -> Administration I was asked if I wanted to install Nvidia drivers (not open) code. This made me wonder. | 14:14 |
| wx | n | 14:14 |
| Oli`` | sipior: You are. Ubuntu writes to its swap, XP to its filesystem. There's no crossover. | 14:14 |
| Blackjester | i cant get sound from the headphone? | 14:14 |
| sipior | Oli``: fair enough. | 14:14 |
| Betzi | netrat, seems like I'm still to noob to solve my problem... : / | 14:15 |
| netrat | Onryo, yes ubuntu will warn you when installing copyright drivers | 14:15 |

| Rinsmaster | I have a question about cronjobs: Is it enough for me to just throw an executable bash script in /etc/cron.hourly/? Or do I need to notify cron of the new script somehow? | 14:15 |
| netrat | Betzi, okay no problem. copy the output from fdisk on the sda drive to pastebin and send me the link | 14:16 |
| sipior | llutz: yes, i imagine that would lead to a great deal of excitement | 14:17 |
| JustMozzy | Blackjester, same here. did it happen with you also after upgrading to the latest ubuntu version? | 14:17 |
| aeon-ltd | !cron | 14:17 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 14:17 |

| Rinsmaster | llutz: Ah! So that was my problem, thanks! | 14:18 |
| llutz | hibernation + dual-boot can be tricky and shouldn't be used. imho | 14:18 |

| hwilde_ | hello I have a headless 10.10 machine and it frequently fails to boot by itself. it sits at grub waiting for a keyboard input. any suggestions? I've already check /etc/grub.d/00_header setting the timeout to -1 | 15:16 |
| mbeierl | danst_: but you do need to pin that version or it'll attempt to be upgraded every time you do an update. Can someone help on pinning packages? It's been a while since I've done that | 15:17 |
| compdoc | boots itself when it loses power? or when? | 15:17 |

| hwilde_ | compdoc, after any failure. after "recordfail" | 15:18 |
| hwilde_ | compdoc, somewhat related to this report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/669481 | 15:19 |
| hwilde_ | I thought overriding if (recordfail) grubtimeout=-1 in /etc/grub.d/00_header would cause it to boot, but that is apparently not enough because it still fails | 15:20 |
| adalal | heya all, i was wondering if anyone here has experience using get_iplayer | 15:20 |
| danst_ | mbeierl: oh, that audacious is the same one | 15:20 |
| hwilde_ | my next guess is to override recordfail altogether in /etc/grub.d/10_linux | 15:20 |
| mbeierl | danst_: what ubuntu are you on then? I thought maverick as you said "latest"... no? | 15:20 |
| danst_ | mbeierl: yes, I'm on maverick | 15:21 |

| SA-Geoff | weird | 16:45 |
| undecim | technikfreak: No, it's in universe.... | 16:45 |

| jenka | undecim: yes | 16:51 |
| undecim | michael__: Hmm... I Can't even seem to get the repos... | 16:52 |

| michael__ | ah ok | 16:52 |
| undecim | jenka: K, gimme a minute, I'll install it and take a look at it myself. | 16:52 |
| michael__ | undecim, thanks | 16:52 |
| jenka | undecim: Ok :) | 16:52 |
| BluesKaj | Bolo, sudo /etc/inti.d/networking restart | 16:52 |
| okletsgo | michael_ | skype runs und 64 bit, too | 16:53 |

| Bolo | Sorry all | 16:53 |
| Garzooka | lust run rm -a and all your problems will be gone | 16:53 |
| Tribaal | hi folks, can anybody explain to be why "uic -impl my_header.h" fails on ubuntu? the man page lists -impl as a valid command, but it doesn't work in practice | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | nd Bolo , you can't run wifi and ethernet at the same time , I have to say that | 16:53 |
| michael__ | undecim, yeah im downloading it right now | 16:54 |
| okletsgo | undecim | can you help me? | 16:54 |
| undecim | jenka: It looks to me like it should unlock the directory just like a login | 16:54 |
| undecim | okletsgo: What's up? | 16:54 |
| okletsgo | you can say me what's wrong there? http://paste.ubuntu.com/556562/ | 16:55 |
| Bolo | BluesKaj yes I know but only have one cable - I have to disconnect one to check the other answer to last sudo: /etc/inti.d/networking: command not found | 16:55 |
| Shubuntu | hey guys, how do i make sure that poptop is listening on port 1723? | 16:55 |
| Shubuntu | i've installed it and set it up according to simple set ups added the iptable exception but still can't connect to it | 16:56 |
| Shubuntu | any help is appreciated | 16:56 |
| jenka | undecim: hmm ok, Because I can login with one of my user that ive created after the install but not the one I created under installation. | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | Bolo, the command is: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 16:57 |
| FoolsRun | Can someone explain briefly how export works? I need to run something which requires a display. X is installed, but :0 is in use by an auto-logged in user running something on the screen so :0 isn't available. CAn I create my own display and use it? | 16:57 |
| jenka | undecim: When i try to connect I gets this: 331 Please specify the password. then PASS ***.. And then its trying to reconnect.. | 16:57 |
| Anom_ | hi, | 16:57 |
| undecim | okletsgo: Sorry... Can you translate to English the last words of line 7? | 16:57 |
| undecim | jenka: So Users with encrypted home dirs can't login? | 16:58 |
| Anom_ | I have an ATI 200M which is not supported by the fglrx drivers, I was considering installing XUBUNTU 8.10 because I heard it has the version of Xorg that is supported | 16:58 |
| Anom_ | has anyone done this or know if it is possible to get the ATI fglrx drivers to work if I install Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 16:58 |
| jenka | undecim: Dosnt seems so :/ | 16:59 |
| okletsgo | undecim | data or directory not aviable | 16:59 |
| BluesKaj | Anom_, yes , Iirc the x200m is supported up to 9,04 with fglrx drivers | 16:59 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: why would you install 8.10? | 16:59 |
| okletsgo | undecim | ..not found | 16:59 |
| boolean | wow .. what a mess | 16:59 |
| woozly | which default font for terminal in last ubuntus? | 16:59 |
| VCoolio | FoolsRun: try Xnest or else from console "startx -- :1" or "xinit /path/to/wm/or/maybe/executable -- :1" | 17:00 |
| woozly | Monospace ? | 17:00 |
| Bolo | BluesKaj * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. Should I try it again now? | 17:00 |
| FoolsRun | VCoolio: thanks, I'll try that! | 17:00 |
| undecim | okletsgo: Sounds like you're missing some files in that source directory. | 17:00 |
| xil | hi all. iwconfig question. I want to reduce the amount of power that my wireless device is using. I know iwconfig has a 'power saving' option but the man pages don't explain what the value you give that option does. Does anyone know? | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | Bolo, yes | 17:00 |
| okletsgo | undecim | can you see what files are missing? | 17:00 |
| undecim | jenka: Does vsftpd store files in the users home directory that it depends on for connection? | 17:00 |
| VCoolio | FoolsRun: you can then switch by ctrl+alt+f7/8 | 17:00 |
| undecim | okletsgo: Apparantly some translation files. | 17:01 |
| Anom_ | Blaize, ok so Ubuntu 9.04 works !? | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | xil, the power used by wifi is insignificant , reducing it won't make you "greener" :) | 17:01 |
| woozly | which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? Monospace?? | 17:01 |
| woozly | What name of this font? | 17:01 |
| Anom_ | er BluesKaj 9.04 works as well ? | 17:01 |
| Blaize | Anom_, idk, does it? | 17:01 |
| undecim | jenka: Sorry, no experience with vsftpd... I'm great with encrypted home dirs though :P | 17:01 |
| Anom_ | Blaize, sorry | 17:01 |
| okletsgo | undecim | or where i can get those missing files? | 17:01 |
| undecim | okletsgo: I have no idea | 17:01 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, well I guess go with 9.04 | 17:01 |
| boolean | itaylor57: the whole setup with thew java installation is a mess ... all the bins point to /etc/alternatives/jav* who in turn point to different verions of java ( sun 5 sun6 openjdk ... ) | 17:02 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, because I just can't get these fglrx drivers to work, | 17:02 |
| Anom_ | but do I need them ? | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: why would you go w/ 9.04? it's EOL also | 17:02 |
| jenka | undecim: hmm dont think so. But I can login to that account if I logged in via ssh first :S | 17:02 |
| Blaize | Anom_, nps :) | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: i guess my question is, why don't you go w/ 10.04 or 10.10? | 17:02 |
| technikfreak | where i can find on which place ubunut is installed files ? | 17:02 |
| undecim | jenka: Then in that case, it is definitely looking for a file in the home dir | 17:02 |
| Anom_ | one prob I've had KM0201 is that google earth is not working with Ubuntu 10.04 and ATI drivers | 17:02 |
| okletsgo | someone know how i can install something like QColorDialog ? | 17:02 |
| undecim | jenka: I have no idea what it would be though | 17:02 |
| jenka | undecim: ok :S | 17:02 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, ATI 200M radeon | 17:03 |
| undecim | jenka: I'll consult the man pages though | 17:03 |
| woozly | which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? HELLOOOOOO?!!! | 17:03 |
| BluesKaj | Anom_, my memory isn't the greatest , but I think so...I used the x200m for a while til I bought an nvidia pci | 17:03 |
| woozly | which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? HELLOOOOOO?!!! | 17:03 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: so did you try 10.10? | 17:03 |
| woozly | which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? HELLOOOOOO?!!! | 17:03 |
| FloodBot2 | woozly: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:03 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, laptop ... | 17:03 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: what does using 10.10, have to do w/ it being a laptop? | 17:03 |
| xil | blueskaj: I see, haha. Well thanks, guess I won't change it then, not worth the effort | 17:03 |
| gordonjcp | okletsgo: isn't that part of Qt? | 17:03 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: and are you sure the problem is related to your graphics chipset, why google earth isn't running? | 17:04 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, well the ATI drivers work, but fglrx doesnt, and there is no configuration for the driver for that card (which i can't change because its in a laptop) | 17:04 |
| jenka | undecim: ok, but maybe it looks for .ecryptfs ?? | 17:04 |
| okletsgo | maybe QT4 is needed for Open Hantek for compile http://paste.ubuntu.com/556562/ | 17:04 |
| undecim | jenka: What do you mean? | 17:04 |
| === TheNull_ is now known as TheNull | ||
| undecim | okletsgo: Perhaps | 17:04 |
| okletsgo | gordonjcp | you have any ideas ? | 17:04 |

| walkkenn_ | BluesKaj - didn't work I restarted and still didn't work | 17:05 |
| undecim | okletsgo: Try isntalling libqt4-dev | 17:05 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, yeah well it was strange because I had google earth working, and it was showing lines all over the screen. But then I installed / tried adding edgers for that Gallium stuff, and now google earth does not work, and glxgears does not work either. | 17:05 |
| jenka | undecim: to get to the files thats decrypt the folder ? :S Dosnt really know im kinda new to ftp server and ubuntu :) | 17:05 |
| walkkenn_ | Should I check my MAC address? | 17:05 |
| walkkenn_ | BluesKaj should I check my mac address | 17:05 |
| undecim | jenka: Well, ecryptfs stores encrypted files at /home/.ecryptfs/user/.Private | 17:05 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, I was just asking about installing ubuntu 8.04 because someone told me that is the only way to get the binary drivers (fglrx) to work for that card. | 17:05 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: i have no iea what gallium is... but it sounds like it wonked up something. | 17:05 |
| undecim | jenka: When a user logs in, a PAM module mounts ecrypfs to /home/user/ | 17:06 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, but if you insist that the drivers that are open source and working for Ubuntu 9.04 / 9.10, then I will keep i installed... | 17:06 |
| mantas_Newbie | can anyone tell me what kind of problem i have here? Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' | 17:06 |
| mantas_Newbie | as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. | 17:06 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: i dunno.. that seems like trying to change your oil by buying a ew car | 17:06 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, yeah I was told to do a pps purge to fix it. | 17:06 |
| undecim | jenka: So vsftpd is trying to get a file from the home directory before going through PAM authentication | 17:06 |
| undecim | jenka: I just can't figure out what that file is | 17:06 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, (to undo whatever adding it to the sources, and upgrading does). | 17:06 |
| jenka | undecim: ok | 17:07 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: you uninstalled the PPA, did you uninstall and purge the program? | 17:07 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, I am probably going to reinstall and forget that edgers / gallium stuff. | 17:07 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: what is gallium anyway? | 17:08 |
| mantas_Newbie | anyone free and could help me with virtualbox? | 17:08 |
| okletsgo | mantas_Newbie | watch this http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/IRC | 17:08 |
| jera | can anyone help me with an auto update problem? (wireless not working after update) | 17:08 |
| undecim | jenka: Though it seems odd to me that it would fail on an otherwise empty home dir... | 17:08 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, not sure its a part of edgers, it does something to try and improve the drivers (open source ati drivers). | 17:08 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: well it sure improved them | 17:08 |
| KM0201 | lol | 17:08 |
| znejk | Any1 know a visualizer u can run with spotify fullscreen? | 17:09 |
| Anom_ | yeah | 17:09 |
| undecim | jenka: or.... | 17:09 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, I guess people are sick of not having good support for this graphics card, considering it is in practically every 3-4 year old laptop that was on the market. | 17:09 |
| walkkenn_ | Still looking for help getting my ethernet port working A | 17:09 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: i would probably follow your gut, and clean install 10.04 or 10.10, before i clean installed 8.04 or 8.10.. which just seems ridiculous to me | 17:09 |
| undecim | jenka: Can you tell me the permissions on one of the users locked home directories? | 17:09 |
| jon_athon | TROGDOR! | 17:09 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, people are switching them from Windows to Linux but only to find 3d hardly works. | 17:10 |
| mrx_ | hi | 17:10 |
| undecim | jenka: I.e. when the user is logged in nowhere | 17:10 |
| mrx_ | how i can install smartvoip in ubuntu 10 | 17:10 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: yeah, i don't use/care for 3D.. so i guess i just don't care. | 17:10 |
| jenka | undecim: how to check or what you mean? | 17:10 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, yeah what would it be used for anyway ? | 17:10 |
| gordonjcp | okletsgo: any ideas about what? | 17:10 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, games ? | 17:10 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: to show off to people, is the only thing i can imagine... it got pretty old to me after about 10min | 17:11 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: yeah, i guess some games need good 3D support, but only game i play is pokerstars via wine, and it certainly doesn't need 3D | 17:11 |
| undecim | jenka: Run "stat /home/user" when that user is not logged in and has an encrypted home dir. | 17:11 |
| Anom_ | KM0201, Im sure as time goes on support will get better, or do you think it will get worse eventually until that computer doesnt even display anything anymore.. ? | 17:11 |
| undecim | jenka: Or better yet: "stat /home/user | grep Access" | 17:11 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: graphics acceleration is required for pretty much any GUI to not totally suck | 17:12 |
| bearly230 | Hey all, I hope a quick question. I have a 10.10 server running with the 3 clients using the graphic ssh. We are able to access the folders well enough. But it appears as though the premissions are being set by the remote user. Instead of the user on the server. IE not inhearting premissions. If user1:remote1 creates a folder and a file it is automaticly set to read only by the others. Instead of being read/write by everyone in the group on the server. Any i | 17:12 |
| undecim | jenka: I don't have a way of checking the default of this myself without logging out :P | 17:12 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: that seems unlikely, i would think the generic VGA device will always support the device | 17:12 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: i guess thats a matter of opinion, i tend to disagree | 17:12 |
| Oer | Anom_, your ATI 200M is more than 4 years old, over 7 years. sorry for no 3d support | 17:12 |
| okletsgo | undecim or gordonjcp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/556577/ i'ts going on :) | 17:12 |
| Pwnna | is there any reason to install ubuntu 64bit given that I have 4Gb of memory and ubuntu only utilizes 2.43GB in 32bit? | 17:12 |
| undecim | Anom_: You will always be able to use Vesa drivers | 17:12 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: you don't write widget toolkits, presumably | 17:12 |
| Anom_ | Oer, well the laptop is perfect shape though ?!? | 17:12 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: i'm guessing a majority of people don't... | 17:12 |
| undecim | Anom_: The reason older cards aren't supported is because ATI dropped support for them so people would buy more cards | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: you prefer each pixel to be hand-drawn by the CPU? | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: 'cos, it's considerably quicker if you can dump all that nonsense onto the GPU | 17:13 |
| llutz | bearly230: you need to set the sgid-flag on the directories | 17:13 |
| undecim | Anom_: So now it's up to people who know nothing about the cards internal workings to develop open source drivers for them | 17:13 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: CPUs don't have hands. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) | 17:13 |
| okletsgo | what do i need now? | 17:13 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: none that you've seen ;-) | 17:13 |
| jenka | undecim: I gets: Access: (0500/dr-x------) Uid: ( 1000/ jens) Gid: ( 1000/ jens) Access: 2010-12-26 15:03:32.900339986 +0100 | 17:13 |
| jenka | If I run the command from another user | 17:13 |
| KM0201 | undecim: that's the crux of the issue... Linux isn't the problem, ATI is the problem... but people blame linux, because it works fine in Windows (where ATI still supports it) | 17:14 |
| bearly230 | llutz: I'm still a novice at ubuntu. How do I set it via term? | 17:14 |
| Anom_ | well thanks guys | 17:14 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: touche | 17:14 |
| undecim | jenka: Excellent | 17:14 |
| avo | hey guise I've got an Lunix DOS floppy and my EXE isn't compiling... i think the calvin cycle might be broken. how can I clear the cash? | 17:14 |
| JustinChromeBuil | How can I open git | 17:14 |
| llutz | bearly230: make sure the dir is owned by a group all your users are member of and change "sudo chmod g+s /path/to/dir" | 17:15 |
| undecim | jenka: Alright, while the user is not logged in run "sudo chmod 700 /home/jens" and see if that fixes it. | 17:15 |
| Anom_ | so gordonjcp, KM0201 , usr13, should I install Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 10.04, or a different Linux distro alltogether ? | 17:15 |
| itaylor57 | JustinChromeBuil: download and install it | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | avo: you can give any excess cash to me, I'll ensure it is disposed of safely | 17:15 |
| JustinChromeBuil | i did | 17:15 |
| llutz | bearly230: that will make all created files being owned by that group too | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: depends what you want to do | 17:15 |
| JustinChromeBuil | i cant find git on my system | 17:15 |
| avo | gordonjcp: why don't you have a seat over there? | 17:15 |
| undecim | jenka: If that doesn't, then try "sudo chmod 755 /home/jens" | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | JustinChromeBuil: git-core ? | 17:15 |
| Anom_ | gordonjcp, have the 3d working | 17:15 |
| JustinChromeBuil | yes | 17:15 |
| jenka | undecim: ok :) | 17:15 |
| usr13 | Anom_: 10.04 | 17:15 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: which graphics card have you got? | 17:15 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: well i'll tell you now.. i woudln't install 8.04 no more than i'd tell a windows user to install windows 95 | 17:16 |
| Anom_ | gordonjcp, ati radeon 200M | 17:16 |
| undecim | jenka: But it has to be while the user's home directory is locked, otherwise it will just be setting the mode on /home/.ecryptfs/jens/.Private | 17:16 |
| === avo is now known as richie_stalls | ||
| Anom_ | KM0201, thanks | 17:16 |
| Anom_ | Im gonna check some other distros I think | 17:16 |
| usr13 | Anom_: What are you looking for? | 17:16 |
| jair | hola | 17:17 |
| JustinChromeBuil | can i have the file patch to git please!!!! | 17:17 |
| JustinChromeBuil | path* | 17:17 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: reasonably recent, then | 17:17 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: I thought ATI were supposed to be well supported? | 17:17 |
| crass | has anyone noticed ubuntu connecting to a wireless network when it comes out of sleep (but it was disconnected when it went to sleep)? | 17:17 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: not all of them. | 17:17 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: there's not really any point in swapping distros; all distros are basically the same | 17:17 |
| rubbs | JustinChromeBuil: have you tried 'whereis git-core' ? | 17:17 |
| JustinChromeBuil | no | 17:18 |
| itaylor57 | JustinChromeBuil: mine is in /usr/bin/git | 17:18 |

| MrUnagi | !afp | 17:18 |
| JustinChromeBuil | no | 17:18 |
| gordonjcp | JustinChromeBuil: the package you want to install for git is git-core | 17:18 |
| usr13 | Anom_: We all have basically the same applications, same kernel etc, it's just that Ubuntu is user friendly, or a bit more user friendly than others in varing degrees depending on which ones you compare to. | 17:18 |
| Anom_ | gordonjcp, yeah its working pretty well, but certain things are not (google earth). Videos play good | 17:18 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: what's ridiculous about it? | 17:19 |
| JustinChromeBuil | i got gitcore | 17:19 |
| llutz | sidd_mak: try arp | 17:19 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: sounds like you may not have 3D acceleration enabled, in which case you want to check the wiki for instructions | 17:19 |
| sidd_mak | llutz : arp | 17:19 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: because not all distros are about the same | 17:19 |
| rubbs | JustinChromeBuil: whereis git-core outputs: git-core: /usr/lib/git-core /usr/lib64/git-core /usr/share/git-core | 17:19 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: yes, they are | 17:19 |
| okletsgo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/556577/ can it be that fftw has something to do with that? what should i install to solve this problem? | 17:19 |
| sidd_mak | llutz : man page confusing | 17:19 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: some distros put "restricted drivers" in the kernel, so you don't have to compile drivers.. broadcom is a perfect example of this, they don't work out of the box w/ Ubuntu, but do w/ quite a few other distros | 17:20 |
| JustinChromeBuil | brb | 17:20 |
| gordonjcp | KM0201: that's a trivial detail | 17:20 |
| usr13 | Anom_: Differences are in package management and in the set of applications installed by defualt on a new install. | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: i have no idea where you got that idea, but you mjight want to spread your wings a little | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | gordonjcp: lol, if broadcom was his problemm, it would not be trivial | 17:20 |
| KM0201 | jesus, don't be so dense | 17:20 |

| undecim | okletsgo: What gordonjcp said :P | 17:22 |
| Anom_ | gordonjcp, ohh k | 17:22 |
| velcroshooz | how do i turn icons on the desktop off? | 17:22 |
| Anom_ | gordonjcp, so there is 3d options for the open source driver.. | 17:22 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: possibly, check the wiki - I only use NVidia if I can possibly help it ;-) | 17:23 |
| gordonjcp | okletsgo: what are you trying to do? | 17:23 |
| KM0201 | Anom_: i thought you said yesterday you tried the open source driver? | 17:23 |
| kevin123 | i bought a laptop with ATI graphics. it happened once and will never happen again | 17:23 |
| usr13 | Anom_: Speaking from experience, (as a Linux user); It is best to use hardware that is well supported. | 17:23 |
| gordonjcp | kevin123: indeed | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | kevin123: yup... | 17:24 |
| jimlee | hi all. How do I install wine n Hardy. | 17:24 |
| undecim | jimlee: See winehq.org | 17:24 |
| gordonjcp | Anom_: I had an oldish ATI card that I wanted to use with hardware acceleration and TV out; not going to happen. ATI dropped support for the card because it was more than two years old, and the open-source drivers don't work | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | jimlee: sudo apt-get install wine | 17:24 |
| gordonjcp | you can have acceleration, *or* you can have TV-out, but not both | 17:25 |
| gordonjcp | or at least you could at the time | 17:25 |
| undecim | jimlee: There are instructions there on installing the latest version, which usually works better than the default Ubuntu version | 17:25 |
| jimlee | Thanks KM0201 | 17:25 |
| gordonjcp | so I gave the card to a friend of mine who is into OO-scale marine modelling, in case he wanted to moor a very small boat | 17:25 |

| Plugh | yes? | 18:09 |
| JustinChromeBuil | rubbs: i want to install | 18:09 |
| djslurp | Hit Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor. Then go to apps -> gnome-power-manager -> buttons. Edit the value for the suspend button and type "nothing". The sleep key should stop working now. | 18:09 |
| djslurp | someone else had your problem and posted on the forums :D | 18:10 |
| rubbs | JustinChromeBuil: to build the depot_tools, you need to do this in a terminal 'git svn clone svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome -T trunk/tools/depot_tools' then follow step two. | 18:10 |

| rbil | I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and when I switch to a different desktop and return, sometimes my Miro window goes white with nothing displayed within it. Any fix for this? | 18:17 |
| Pici | Morbus: Install apt-listchanges, although that will only give you the change lists after the packages have been downloaded. | 18:18 |
| Morbus | Pici: hrm. is there an update stream online i could look at or something? | 18:18 |

| Bolo | saliak yes http://paste.ubuntu.com/556599/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/556585/ | 18:19 |
| Pici | Morbus: Not that I know of, but there may be something. | 18:19 |
| Pici | Morbus: Note, that apt-listchanges will prompt you if you still want to install your updates after the package downloads are complete. It sits in the middle of the apt-get upgrade process. | 18:20 |
| Morbus | Pici: oh, that's handy. | 18:20 |
| djslurp | Morbus, you can try aptitude -s update | 18:20 |

| Jimmy__ | I require assistance with trying to dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu. | 18:30 |
| GraphicH | whats the problem Jimmy__ | 18:30 |
| Jimmy__ | I have been trying to dual boot it for the past two days, but I simply can't figure out what I am doing wrong. | 18:31 |
| Oer | rbil ati 7200 is supported | 18:31 |
| Jimmy__ | The problem is that | 18:31 |
| rbil | I'm used to a more thorough xorg file then what I'm getting now with 9.10. Can I still edit that file? | 18:31 |
| gordonjcp | rbil: isn't the ATI 7200 a little over ten years old now? | 18:31 |
| rbil | Oer: where would I get the drivers to allow me to have special effects? | 18:31 |
| Jimmy__ | Whenever I go to into Ubuntu installation, it never detects my windows 7 partition, it tells me to use the entire disk. | 18:31 |
| usr13 | rbil: 10.04 will do as good a job if not better of running the ATI 7200. I see a thread that is 4 months old, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1565562 and is probably not relevant any more. | 18:32 |

| Jimmy__ | I tried formatting the partition to extend, ntfs, fat32, etc..., but still no luck. | 18:33 |
| earthmeLon | I have dual monitor setup. I have them on separate screens (which is what I want). Im trying to learn how to open a program on the second screen (screen:1). | 18:33 |
| GraphicH | Jimmy__: when you install do you leave free space for the other os you plan to install? also doing win7 then ubuntu is the recommended order of operations | 18:33 |

| === Guest53971 is now known as Out_Cold_ | ||
| leachim6 | hey | 18:34 |

| leachim6 | so....I have ubuntu 10.10....and my suspend used to work (on a laptop) but now it doesn't.... | 18:34 |
| KM0201 | Jimmy__: so you have windows installed, and ubuntu doesn't see your hard drive? | 18:35 |
| leachim6 | I think it might have something to do with laptop-mode-tools, I found info on the net about that | 18:35 |
| leachim6 | so I uninstalled laptop-mode-tools, but I still can't suspend | 18:35 |
| leachim6 | anyone know ? | 18:35 |
| Jimmy__ | I have 250 GB, 200GB is used for windows7, and the rest is another partition where i want to install Ubuntu. | 18:35 |
| usr13 | rbil: As to your original question; Probably no one here is still using 9.10 and so getting someone with experience on your particular goal is more than likely not gonna happen. Your best bet is to upgrade. | 18:35 |
| Jimmy__ | Yes, Ubuntu does noe see that I have already have installed Windows 7 on part of the disk. | 18:35 |
| KM0201 | Jimmy__: ok?.. so why not install ubuntu there? | 18:35 |
| JustinChromeBuil | rubbs: Note: In Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and later, the main, universe, restricted and multiverse repositories are enabled by default. :/ | 18:35 |
| KM0201 | Jimmy__: or was that your question, how to do that? | 18:36 |
| Jimmy__ | That is what I am trying to do, but when i go into the installation, it tells me to use the entire HDD. | 18:36 |
| rubbs | JustinChromeBuil: do a 'sudo apt-get update' then try installing the git-all again. | 18:36 |

| wedwo- | tdn, then follow the links ubottu gave you | 19:07 |
| Pudabudigada | tdn, I uninstalled it, I'll look in the software manger, gimme, oh, about six months? :P | 19:07 |

| galanakis | is there a way to downgrade to karmic koala? | 19:08 |
| erUSUL | !downgrade | 19:08 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 19:08 |
| tdn | Pudabudigada, if it is X then I cannot use it. | 19:08 |
| Pudabudigada | tdn It was startup manager, It broke GRUB and I had to reinstall it, It did make the changes I wanted though. | 19:08 |
| Pudabudigada | tdn You want a cli program? | 19:09 |
| acicula | tdn: grub is configured by the values in /etc/defaults/grub and /etc/grub.d | 19:09 |
| tdn | erUSUL, for some reason the Vista menu item no longer boots Vista. Instead it boots the wrong partition -- The IBM rescue partition. | 19:09 |

| tdn | Pudabudigada, CLI yes | 19:09 |
| YankDownUnder | mettao87, Mate, simply cd to the /media folder, and do a "sudo chmod -R 777 sda4" => then you'll be able to read/write to it with the right perms for ya | 19:10 |

| YankDownUnder | mettao87, Great mate, have a great day! | 19:11 |
| blue_pearl | acicula, thanx | 19:11 |
| Pudabudigada | tdn, sorry, don't know anything for that, you could prolly use emacs... | 19:12 |

| acicula | ata-exec: whats not working, and why do you think you need a driver? | 19:13 |
| Pudabudigada | Anyway | 19:13 |

| gamla_kossan | hey people | 19:13 |
| tdn | acicula, the problem is that my mum has a Lenovo workstation with dualboot between Vista and Ubuntu. It used to work just fine. But then suddenly she tells me that she cannot boot Vista. When she selects Vista in GRUB it boots IBM Rescue System instead. (a separate partition) | 19:13 |
| gamla_kossan | I was just about to do an apt-get upgrade, and I got this: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! xserver-common xserver-xorg-core | 19:13 |
| ata-exec | acicula: because the keyboard doesn't work | 19:13 |
| gamla_kossan | could anyone help me udnerstand why? | 19:14 |
| ata-exec | I have to plug in another one to write this | 19:14 |

| niko-nojo | Hi room - When I start Rhythmbox 0.12.8 it always stays minimised and I have to click on the panel to open it up. Any idea ? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I've checked the preferences - but not seeing the option | 19:14 |
| acicula | tdn: hmmm and what if you edit the line at boot to explicitly boot the proper partition? | 19:15 |
| acicula | tdn grub tends to fail os detection when windows is not cleanly shutdown and right after that grub update is ran | 19:15 |
| tdn | acicula, I haven't tried. I live ~500 miles away from her, so I have only access via SSH. | 19:15 |

| acicula | tdn: that be my first guess yes | 19:16 |
| tdn | acicula, wow, hadn't thought of that. | 19:16 |
| acicula | tdn: boot vista, shutdown cleanly, boot ubuntu and run the grub update | 19:16 |

| moses | i need good tablet software | 19:18 |
| tdn | moses, not sure what you can use though. | 19:18 |
| gamla_kossan | tdn: no, I don't think so | 19:18 |
| moses | ok | 19:18 |
| moses | i need like a really decked out program | 19:18 |
| tdn | gamla_kossan, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 19:18 |
| acicula | tdn: from what i can gather the grub file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 19:18 |
| gamla_kossan | tdn: k | 19:18 |
| coz_ | moses, take a look here for some of the ones available and check out any screenshots you can fine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_notetaking_software | 19:19 |
| Necavit | hi there! I've had some problem with my GUI and some Nvidia drivers... could anyone help me? (I'm quite newbie) | 19:19 |

| tdn | acicula, http://paste.adora.dk/P1919.txt | 19:19 |
| tdn | acicula, that is grub.cfg | 19:19 |
| ata-exec | so if the keyboard just doesn't work but the mouse doesn, then I'm just screwed? | 19:19 |
| gamla_kossan | tdn: http://fpaste.org/ubeq/ | 19:19 |
| coz_ | moses, although not strickly for note taking .. a really "decked out" application would be lyx | 19:19 |
| tdn | acicula, yeah, I search for vista and get hd(0,1) | 19:19 |
| Phoenixz | Pudabudigada: Gottit, so flash is ... well, bad.. by the way, I guess you meant to say consolation | 19:19 |
| coz_ | moses, however lyx is at minmal 3 gigs install | 19:19 |
| acicula | tdn: is that correct? | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | Necavit, the nvidia gui x server settings ? | 19:20 |
| tdn | acicula, I amnot sure. Is that sda1? | 19:20 |
| moses | Xjournal is cool | 19:20 |
| tdn | I think Vista is on sda2. | 19:20 |
| moses | xournal | 19:20 |
| tdn | acicula, did you see my pastebin with fdisk -l? | 19:20 |
| acicula | tdn: eh sda2 i think, you can try mounting the disk | 19:20 |
| coz_ | moses, xournal is the one I used with my wacom tablet | 19:20 |
| moses | did you like it? | 19:20 |
| Necavit | hi! ... eeerh. no, i don't think so | 19:20 |
| gamla_kossan | tdn: and this one: http://fpaste.org/fhvh/ | 19:20 |
| acicula | tdn: yeah but i already closed it | 19:21 |
| Necavit | it's just i installed them and reboot | 19:21 |
| tdn | acicula, ok. I think Vista is on sda2. | 19:21 |
| Necavit | then there was no more gui | 19:21 |
| tdn | acicula, and it probably boots sda1 now. | 19:21 |
| acicula | tdn no it numbers starting from 0 | 19:21 |
| acicula | so hd0,0 is sda1, hd0,1 is sda2 , etc | 19:21 |
| acicula | so that means grub is booting vista correctly | 19:21 |
| acicula | or as best i can tell | 19:21 |
| tdn | acicula, acicula it is just that the menu item text says sda1 | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | Necavit, did you install the recommended driver in the nvidia gui ? | 19:22 |
| coz_ | moses, sudo apt-get install xournal not xjournal | 19:22 |

| acicula | tdn: ah, yeah thats not right then | 19:22 |
| ajaxError | it is mounted as HP v165w | 19:22 |
| Necavit | BluesKaj: yep. I installed the one Ubuntu told me (in the installation assistant) | 19:22 |

| gamla_kossan | tdn: no lucid actually | 19:23 |
| JustinChromeBuil | how do i use repo | 19:24 |
| tdn | gamla_kossan, there is something wrong. You have buth karmic and lucid sources. | 19:24 |

| acicula | tdn: yeah it has something confused then, sda1 is hd0,0. does sda2 or hd0,0 appear anywhere? | 19:24 |
| Necavit | BluesKaj: don't really know... it told me to restart the system. Now ubuntu has no GUI =S | 19:24 |
| coz_ | moses, there is another one neame ejourn older application with ecryption | 19:24 |
| tdn | acicula, there is this: menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" { | 19:25 |
| tdn | acicula, but it says: set root='(hd0,2)' | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | Necavit, nvidia gui or no login? | 19:25 |

| tdn | acicula, ok. | 19:27 |

| tdn | gamla_kossan, try using the Danish mirror instead. s/se/dk/ | 19:27 |
| acicula | tdn: the entries look fine even. so its not that they are improperly detected, what happens if you try to boot the recovery entry option? | 19:28 |

| oldsmoky2 | Hi... I am having several issues after running a software update a few hours ago. Using 10.04 on Dell Inspiron 1750. I ran the last security update, just a small one, something to do with sudo. Then I turned computer off and left for a few hours. Came back, turned it on and had no sound, then started hearing fan more than usual, checked system monitor and saw one cpu running at 100 percent. Tried to shutdown and restart but it | 20:27 |
| oldsmoky2 | won't let me. It just goes back to login screen. Never had a problem with updates before, been running Ubuntu on here almost a year. Not a techie, btw. | 20:27 |
| xibalba_ | i was thinking about sendmail, but i see there are a number of sendmial packages | 20:28 |
| landstalker | xibalba_, there are lots, exim, sendmail | 20:28 |
| landstalker | qmail | 20:28 |
| IsmAvatar | oldsmoky2: run the `top` command from the terminal, see if some process is using it all. | 20:28 |
| xibalba_ | i'll probably use sendmail since i know that best | 20:28 |
| shcherbak | ubuntu_bm: google apache virtual hosts, one good how to is from debian | 20:28 |
| xibalba_ | but there are multiple sendmail packages | 20:28 |
| xibalba_ | sendmail sendmail-bin sendmail-base | 20:29 |
| landstalker | which distro? ubuntu 10.10? | 20:29 |
| oldsmoky2 | root appears to be using 100 percent | 20:29 |
| earthmeLon | landstalker, I dont see anything in the .desktop file that would let me change which screen it shows up on. | 20:29 |
| xibalba_ | 10.04 LTS | 20:29 |
| IsmAvatar | oldsmoky2: root is the user. The rightmost column should tell you the process name. | 20:30 |
| kibot | someone please get me maverick iso | 20:30 |
| landstalker | earthmeLon, is there nothing on the other desktop? | 20:30 |
| oldsmoky2 | it says usr/bin/python /us | 20:30 |
| krsb | what is the difference between /quit and /exit in irssi? If I only want to close one channel-window, how do i do it? | 20:31 |
| earthmeLon | landstalker, When I create the "application launcher" it creates a .desktop file in ~/Desktop | 20:31 |
| coraxx | do any of you watch videos from the internet ? | 20:31 |

| coraxx | devin: are you using a dual-mode video card ...something that its i.e. both an Intel card _AND_ an NVidia card ? | 20:35 |
| coraxx | *is | 20:35 |
| devin | not sure | 20:35 |
| IsmAvatar | oldsmoky2: the first column, PID, tells you the process ID. You can kill it with that. e.g. if the PID is 1234, `kill 1234` is a good start. If that doesn't kill it, up the stakes with `kill -9 1234` | 20:35 |
| IsmAvatar | oldsmoky2: if you're still in `top` mode, you can just type `k 1234` | 20:36 |
| devin | coraxx, think it has something to so with the kernels not matching | 20:36 |
| mbeierl | coraxx: how can a card be both nVidia and Intel? | 20:36 |
| IsmAvatar | or rather `k1234` | 20:36 |
| coraxx | devin: you can install the package gnome-device-manager and look at the video graphics adapter(s) ...if you find both Intel(drm) and NVidia Corp on the devices...then the answer to my question is 'yes' | 20:37 |
| devin | coraxx, it comes up with the normal low-graphics mode, then the mouse is frozen | 20:37 |

| Pudabudigada | pancho; I'm assuming that windows button is meta? | 20:54 |

| cristian_ | hi! I've a problem with xrdp... i'm able to connect to the pc on which is installed, in my office, I can see the remote desktop, but when i press the "d" key on the keyboard instead of typing "d" the pc shows me the desktop... how is it possible? how to solve this issue? | 20:55 |

| mylcdisfscked | Hey, i'm trying to format my HD from an ubuntu 10.0 Live CD, and the disk tool crashes when i select a drive. additionally, the gnome toolbars appear to crash randomly | 20:55 |
| coraxx | devin: and you can install the device manager in the Ubuntu Live session ...just to check out the hardware. | 20:55 |
| jenka | ikonia: how does I fix it? :) | 20:55 |
| pancho | Pudabudigada, lol, any help? | 20:55 |
| ikonia | jenka: you'll need to unencypt | 20:55 |
| mylcdisfscked | Last time i tried i got "daemon is being inhibited" when i tried to actually format the drive, so i restarted and now i can't even open the disk manager | 20:56 |
| devin | coraxx: there are plenty of ways to fix from live CD, but I just can't seem to get it to boot up from drive. have been at it for an hour now | 20:56 |
| IsmAvatar | Help, GParted isn't seeing SDA, but Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install seems to know it's there.... | 20:56 |
| Pudabudigada | pancho; Check for ir daemons with 'top' that run when you use the config util that it works with, see if they are killed when you close it. | 20:56 |
| coraxx | dein: can't answer you until you do the test. If it is the Intel/nVidia issue ...then its because of a driver conflict ...which is usually resolved with just using the Intel-driver | 20:56 |
| mylcdisfscked | gnome toolbars just crashed again, this is insane | 20:57 |
| jenka | ikonia: you mean decrpyt, when login in the ftp? | 20:57 |
| coraxx | devin: if you can't get a boot-menu ...then you will have to entger the BIOS setup menu ... | 20:57 |
| ikonia | jenka: basically the vsftpd daemon will need to see an unencypted directory before you try to login | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | IsmAvatar: So sda isn't listed in the drop down menu of drives? | 20:57 |
| coraxx | devin: that is usually done by pressing F2 or Del during startup | 20:57 |
| IsmAvatar | Jordan_U: correct | 20:57 |
| devin | coraxx: thank you, I will continue to trobleshoot. Is there any way to uninstall ubuntu from BIOS | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | IsmAvatar: Is it listed in "sudo parted -l"? | 20:58 |
| devin | coraxx: that would be nice | 20:58 |
| jenka | ikonia: ok..? Im pretty new to vsftpd :P | 20:58 |
| coraxx | devin: in there you should be able to find a section that has to do with Boot priority ...an the DVD/CD should be the 1st | 20:58 |
| mylcdisfscked | okay the toolbar crashes when i mouse over applications -> accessories | 20:58 |
| coraxx | devin: no | 20:58 |
| devin | coraxx: well, that blows | 20:58 |
| IsmAvatar | Jordan_U: Error: /dev/sda: unrecognized disk label | 20:58 |
| coraxx | devin: but worse case scenario ...you can detach your harddsik drive ...thereby forcing it to boot on some other device | 20:59 |
| devin | coraxx: spectacular idea | 20:59 |
| pancho | Pudabudigada nope :S | 21:00 |
| devin | coraxx: swithcing HDD might work then. I can do that | 21:00 |
| Pudabudigada | pancho, No daemon starts? | 21:00 |
| Jordan_U | IsmAvatar: Do you have any data on sda currently? | 21:00 |
| coraxx | devin: this manuveur does help in fixing your problem ...only diagnosing it | 21:00 |
| pancho | nope | 21:00 |
| * mylcdisfscked will restart again. this is about my 50th restart and i'm getting very sick of ubuntu very fast | 21:00 | |
| devin | coraxx: ok, thank you for helping me today | 21:01 |
| coraxx | devin: *doesn't ...damn I'm typing bad today also | 21:01 |
| pancho | Pudabudigada i suppose the ir daemon is already up | 21:01 |
| Pudabudigada | pancho, Try system monitor | 21:01 |

| IsmAvatar | Jordan_U: Quite a lot. I've got Ubuntu 10.10 and WinXP installed on it, have been using it for a while. I have backups, but obviously some info is not backed up and I'd like to get it back. | 21:01 |

| kibot | ...and i was asking a perfectly plausible question then. | 21:05 |
| ikonia | kibot: the question was nothing to do with ubuntu, this channel is for ubuntu questions only | 21:06 |
| Pudabudigada | kibot, are you going to run Ubuntu on it? | 21:06 |
| IsmAvatar | Jordan_U: not that I know of. I didn't do anything to it, and I'm going to guess that Updates don't usually touch it | 21:06 |
| kibot | yus! | 21:06 |
| ata-exec | boy it's busy in here | 21:06 |
| ikonia | kibot: ok, you cannot run ubuntu on it. | 21:06 |

| kibot | lol | 21:07 |
| ikonia | Pudabudigada: see what ? | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | IsmAvatar: Correct, updates should not touch the partition table. Can you still otherwise use this drive? | 21:07 |
| Pudabudigada | ikonia, They were asking an Ubuntu question. | 21:07 |
| ianmurrays | Hi, anyone knows how to mount a hfs+ external disk read/write? It's not journaled and it doesn't work :( | 21:07 |
| ikonia | Pudabudigada: and it's been responded to | 21:07 |

| Chillance | hey, is there a great tool for ubuntu to create textures? or anything like that to use like for instance some kind of background for a webpage? | 21:07 |
| Oer | Pudabudigada, i think kibot is reffering to Casio Cassiopeia EM-500, een Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) | 21:08 |
| kibot | and ikonia, cool off a bit. | 21:08 |
| Pudabudigada | Chillance, GIMP | 21:08 |
| kibot | yus ah was. | 21:08 |
| IsmAvatar | Jordan_U: no. It's got my boot information (grub), and computer booting stops when it would normally reach the Grub screen. I can boot to liveCD (as I am currently). I can't mount the drive. However, Install sees it and says it has no partition table, but lets me partition it if I wanted (tho I won't) | 21:08 |
| kibot | ty Oer | 21:08 |
| brontoeee | Chillance, if you are asking about seamless x,y tiling, then i dont know, otherwise gimp | 21:08 |
| Chillance | hm, GIMP you say.. interesting.. I guess there are a few plugins for that actually... gotta checl.. | 21:08 |

| ianmurrays | Hi, anyone knows how to mount a hfs+ external disk read/write? It's not journaled and it doesn't work :( | 21:09 |
| === emperor is now known as Guest73897 | ||
| ikonia | ianmurrays: write support is not possible I believe | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: With journaling disabled it is. | 21:09 |
| ianmurrays | i've read everywhere that it is, on unjournaled hfs+ partitions | 21:09 |
| ianmurrays | but it still doesn't work | 21:09 |
| skrite | ianmurrays: does it show up when you do sudo fdisk -ls | 21:09 |
| ianmurrays | it only mounts as readonly | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | ianmurrays: How did you disable journaling? | 21:10 |
| ianmurrays | Jordan_U: on a mac | 21:10 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: that's cool | 21:10 |
| ianmurrays | i formatted it hfs+ without journaling | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | IsmAvatar: Can you check the drive's SMART status in System > Administration > Disk Utility? | 21:10 |
| navaladi | libvtk5-dev installing broken Ubuntu 10.10 any fix? http://pastebin.com/2BnDmiYt | 21:11 |
| ianmurrays | skrite: it does show on fdisk | 21:11 |
| brontoeee | Chillance, the manual way is to use offset filter to move borders and then try to paint over ..., at least that works with naked photoshop | 21:11 |
| ianmurrays | the furthest i've been able to go it to mount it read/write, but only with sudo | 21:11 |
| ianmurrays | i can do stuff like sudo touch test.txt | 21:11 |
| Jordan_U | ianmurrays: Can you pastebin the output (if any) from mount when you try to mount it, and the output of "dmesg" after running mount? | 21:11 |
| ianmurrays | but from nautilus can't | 21:11 |
| ianmurrays | hang on | 21:12 |
| IsmAvatar | Jordan_U: SMART status: not supported (I think this is normal, as my other HD, which is the same brand, etc also says that) | 21:12 |

| spydmobile | Hello folks, building a VM under Qemu/kvm using a 10.10 server ISO as an install source. when I press f4 at the boot prompt, I do not get anything except STANDARD and the option for JeOS (minimal installation" does not appear to exist even though book and current documentation on this subject say it does. Can anyone tell me how to get 10.10 jeos? | 21:14 |
| ata-exec | sorry running around office helping others too | 21:14 |

| compdoc | Ademan, you can create a folder, or use the defualt path. needs to be on a ext3 or ext4 partition, unless youre doing a block device | 21:16 |
| Ademan | ikonia: my point was some places are clearly better than others, so that non-answer wasn't very helpful... | 21:17 |
| ikonia | Ademan: my point is it depends on your system and where you want them, so the answer is very valid | 21:17 |

| i_is_broke | i am running my whole house on linux | 21:35 |

| shazzr | rww: can I sync with Google Reader? | 21:53 |
| tacomaster | phantomcircuit: because i am choosing weather to buy a cheap laptop or get another hdd | 21:54 |
| phantomcircuit | tacomaster, based on how hard it is to setup grub? wat | 21:54 |
| Fishscene | Greetings. I'm looking to set up a bittorrent tracker. however, I'm having trouble finding a package that works. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to use? | 21:55 |
| rww | shazzr: I think so. I haven't tried. | 21:55 |
| tammy | Can anyone help me please ? | 21:56 |
| |ns|nR8 | sup tammy | 21:56 |
| Fishscene | Tammy: Do you have any logs? | 21:56 |
| tammy | what are logs ? | 21:56 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, did you consider mainline bittorrent? | 21:56 |
| racho | Scaevolus, why not try -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 21:56 |
| ikonia | because it won't work | 21:56 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, ie, the bittorrent package | 21:56 |
| Fishscene | Phantomcircuit: Nope, I'll look for that. | 21:56 |
| Fishscene | wait.. .that's only a bittorrent client | 21:57 |
| hamed | hi | 21:57 |
| Jordan_U | tacomaster: Yes, update-grub will detect OSs on other drives. | 21:57 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, nope | 21:57 |
| tammy | Fishscene, i need help with drivers | 21:57 |
| tacomaster | Jordan_U: ty | 21:57 |
| Jordan_U | tacomaster: You're welcome. | 21:57 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, i think it's both a gui client and a console tracker | 21:57 |
| Fishscene | Tammy: Logs might help someone figure out the issue. I was wondering if you knew how to get logs, but I don't know which ones to get either =\ | 21:57 |
| hamed | :( | 21:58 |
| tammy | Fishscene, i need someone to help me with drivers | 21:58 |
| hamed | bye | 21:58 |
| ikonia | tammy: how are you trying to install the nvidia drivers ? | 21:58 |
| Fishscene | phantomcircuit: In that case, how would I find information on configuring it? It is incredibly difficult to dig up any information on how to configure that. | 21:58 |
| tammy | ikonia, threw the hardware drivers thing | 21:58 |
| ikonia | tammy: ok, and what happens when you try | 21:58 |
| normal | I need help with wvdial. I keep getting "no carrier. trying again" all the time until it just decides to work. Am I missing something? This time it took more more than 30 minutes and probably about 100 tries. | 21:58 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, hmm maybe im wrong, one sec | 21:58 |
| tammy | ikonia, ill try again now | 21:58 |
| Jeruvy | Fishscene: you can check log file viewer in administration, that should show you the important logs.. | 21:59 |
| tammy | ikonia, it downloads the driver then gives me this error | 21:59 |
| racho | Scaevolus, did you try it out? | 21:59 |
| tammy | ikonia, brb it wants me to restart | 21:59 |
| Fishscene | I ran "aptitude search bittorrent" and found the client and tracker called "bittorrent". however, I haven't been able to dig up ANY information on this package in Google :( | 21:59 |
| ikonia | tammy: what error ? | 21:59 |
| Fishscene | Jeruvy: where is Administration? | 22:00 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, what kind of features do you need from thetracker? | 22:00 |
| Jeruvy | normal: wow this takes me back some :) Silly question, do you actually have a carrier? | 22:00 |
| Fishscene | Phantomcircuit: Pretty basic actually. | 22:00 |
| Jeruvy | Fishscene: System - Administration - Log File Viewer | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | How can I configure rhythmbox so that when I double click a song it plays only that one song, only once (rather than continuing down the list automatically)? | 22:00 |
| Fishscene | Jeruvy: ah yes. Sorry about the confusion. I was thinking in terminal, but I didn't communicate that =\ | 22:01 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, opentracker seems workable, it's not available as a package though | 22:01 |
| Jeruvy | Fishscene: no worry, I just wanted to see if that would help. | 22:01 |
| tammy | ikonia, im back | 22:01 |
| ikonia | tammy: so I see | 22:01 |
| Fishscene | phantomcircuit: Yea. I'm looking to host an internal tracker - the less requests that go out to the internet, the better. | 22:01 |
| normal | Jeruvy, i am using USB Internet Stick. | 22:01 |
| tammy | ikonia, thats odd now it works | 22:02 |
| ikonia | no surprise | 22:03 |
| Jeruvy | normal: sorry I'm not really clear on what you are doing. NO carrier can me NO carrier. Check your line. | 22:03 |
| phantomcircuit | does anybody know if it's possible to create a bootable environment on a flash drive which can be updated? | 22:03 |
| Jeruvy | normal: s/me/mean/ | 22:03 |
| ikonia | phantomcircuit: a flash drive is just a disk, so you can update it fine | 22:03 |
| tammy | ikonia, and btw my card is nvidia geforce 9100m g. dont know if its good | 22:03 |
| Fishscene | phantomcircuit: Do you mean where it can store persistant user-data? | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | phantomcircuit: If it's large enough you can just do a normal install, as you would to an internal drive. | 22:03 |
| phantomcircuit | Fishscene, nope i mean where i can upgrade the packages | 22:04 |
| racho | phantomcircuit: that's how i'm running openSuse btw...through a flash drive | 22:04 |
| phantomcircuit | Jordan_U, how would i do that | 22:04 |
| tammy | ikonia, should be good enough ? | 22:04 |
| Jordan_U | phantomcircuit: Have you ever installed Ubuntu to an internal drive? | 22:04 |
| ikonia | tammy: good enough for what ? | 22:04 |
| normal | Jeruvy, http://pastebin.com/EpvUx8R0, i hope everything is fine | 22:04 |
| tammy | ikonia, for effects | 22:04 |
| phantomcircuit | Jordan_U, yeah it's installed now (btw im a pretty advanced user i just normally setup flash drives with initramfs) | 22:04 |
| ikonia | tammy: depends on what effects, just try what you want | 22:05 |
| Jordan_U | phantomcircuit: Then do exactly what you did to install to the internal drive, but select the flash drive instead. | 22:05 |
| tammy | ikonia, right now i got the normal wobbly windows | 22:05 |
| === coolmadmax is now known as xXx_hazard_ | ||

| Jeruvy | normal: have you reviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto ? | 22:06 |
| ojay | hello all | 22:08 |
| ojay | i need help | 22:08 |
| Jordan_U | phantomcircuit: Yes :(. You have a few options, none of them ideal. 1: Do a minimal install that will take up less space, 2: Try a very experimental install to compressed btrfs 3: Make a "persistant" install that will allow you to save settings and install simple programs but not do normal upgrades (the biggest factor is that kernel upgrades won't work). | 22:08 |
| ojay | i have linux mint 10 and with ubuntu my wireless atheros card worked | 22:08 |
| Jordan_U | !mint | ojay | 22:09 |
| ubottu | ojay: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 22:09 |
| phantomcircuit | Jordan_U, 4) go to bestbuy and get a larger flash drive because you have a job xD | 22:09 |
| ojay | so how hard it can be to get it work | 22:09 |
| normal | Jeruvy, i cannot believe i forgot to check the manual, i will read it carefully and try to set up the easier way, thank you | 22:10 |
| Jeruvy | normal: let us know how you made out. Your welcome. | 22:10 |
| bluezone | what is the latest, gui runnable, kernel? | 22:10 |
| normal | Jeruvy, will do | 22:11 |
| racho | ojay: try reading this -> http://bit.ly/fPPKtA | 22:11 |
| Fishscene | The only information I can find is located here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent ) (Under the last picture). But that only has information for downloading a torrent- not tracking one. | 22:11 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: gui runnable? | 22:12 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, when i run really recent ones i get a command line and not a login screen in gui | 22:12 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: well that's looks like a bug specific to your setup. all kernels should be able to run the gui | 22:13 |
| ccw | Hi all. I've got /home on an old HDD, and I want to set up a new user's home directory to include something like /home/newuser/storage/ that points to /media/newHDD/storage so that anything put in the first directory in fact exists only in the second, on the new disk. What's the best way to do that? | 22:13 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, :( | 22:13 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: you should to try to fix the issue you are having | 22:13 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, which issue | 22:14 |
| Encr9 | Hi, is there a way to simulate a restart? Earlier I wasn't able to get my external HD mounted, said something bout wrong filesystem, it works now some how, I want to see if it remounts without me actually rebooting computer | 22:14 |
| normal | here goes nothing! | 22:15 |
| Pici | Encr9: You can use mount -a to attempt to automatically mount all the devices specified in /etc/fstab | 22:15 |
| Encr9 | mounted it with pmount I think | 22:15 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: well i do not know. no enough info. can you give any error messages you got if any? check the logs? /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog after a failed boot? | 22:15 |
| Encr9 | ohhh pici i don't think it's in fstab yet, let me look | 22:15 |

Any suggestions or guides? | 22:17 |
| Aru | good evening | 22:18 |
| kbp | erUSUL: 1 Ubuntu (2 lines), another Ubuntu (6 lines, 3 kernels) + 1 WinXP. All I want is just 3 lines | 22:18 |
| KM0201 | ojay: ? | 22:18 |
| Fishscene | genii-around: Actually, I would LOVE to ahve that. The problem is, the very first command fails... "cvs (checkout aborted) : end of file from server (consult above messages if any) | 22:18 |

| robert11 | Hi i'm setting up a linux kiosk, just wondering how can i prevent users who are using the kiosk from running their own shell scripts they can't get to the terminal because i've removed gnome-terminal but if they created a new file and put someone shell commands in their and then piped it out to another file that will work i don't want them to be able to do this how can i stop people executing shell scripts on ubuntu? | 22:19 |

| genii-around | Fishscene: Ah :( | 22:19 |
| Pici | robert11: You may want to look at the utilities that those articles mention | 22:19 |
| erUSUL | kbp: 1) configure grub to not generate the rescue entries so you only get 1 line per kernel ( not sure it is a good idea rescue mode is usefull) 2) remove the 2 kernels you do not want in the 2nd ubuntu install | 22:20 |
| Fishscene | genii-around: They do have this: https://erdgeist.org/cvsweb/opentracker/ But I have no clue how to use it | 22:20 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, hmm... well i am having the same wifi issue as awhile ago, slow wireless 5x slower than on windows/wired, if you remember that correctly, and sam-_- recommeneded my a kernel and when i upgraded it worked | 22:20 |
| LostPenguin | so how do you add a driver to the kernel? | 22:21 |
| erUSUL | LostPenguin: depends on the driver ... | 22:22 |
| bluezone | LostPenguin, i believe you have to use modprobe, but don't take it from me im not sure :P | 22:22 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: i thought that the problem is that you do not get a gui ... | 22:22 |
| LostPenguin | USB DVB cature device | 22:22 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, yeah i can't, but i remember one kernel that did lead me to gui and my wireless was fixed | 22:22 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, but i guess if i can try fixing this... one sec | 22:23 |
| LostPenguin | I think I've managed to compile the correct driver, but it tried to put it in a WAY ot of date kernel version | 22:23 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, is it possible it does that because i have restricted drivers? | 22:23 |
| ejv | hi everybody, i have a pretty standard, default installation of apache2 and a site that is non https, i want to enable secure connections for those who want to use it, i have a virtual host called ejv that begins with <Virtualhost *:80> and then all the arguments... do I need to copy the entire block and change 80 to 443, then insert the SSLEngine on and all the other parameters? | 22:23 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: i am a bit lost ... " i remember one kernel that did lead me to gui and my wireless was fixed " you mean that one of the kernels you can choose frm in grub menu works and the others don't? | 22:24 |
| erUSUL | ejv: maybe better --> /join #httpd | 22:24 |
| LostPenguin | this would be a whole lot easer if system functions were managed in the gui.... | 22:25 |
| MarcusMaximus04 | would this be the right place to ask for help with 11.04 alpha 1? | 22:25 |
| erUSUL | MarcusMaximus04: #ubnutu+1 | 22:26 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, before i formatted about 1 week ago i upgraded to a kernel, 2.36... etc... and the GUI worked on that, no when i try to upgrade kernel, the new kernel will not load GUI, only the initial one, (the one i am on now) will load GUI | 22:26 |
| genii-around | Fishscene: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.erdgeist.org:/home/cvsroot co opentracker worked alright here | 22:26 |
| Fishscene | Criminy | 22:27 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: what graphic card do you have? | 22:27 |
| Fishscene | genii: You gave me an idea actually. It might be blocked by our web filter... let me check there. | 22:27 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, 8400M GS NVIDIA | 22:27 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: and how did you installed the drivers for your card? | 22:27 |
| kbp | erUSUL: ty gonna restart now to test | 22:27 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, with the supported reccomended option in additional drivers | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | :/ | 22:28 |
| Fishscene | genii-around: Yep. Our webfilter is blocking it. Thanks for the heads-up! | 22:28 |
| genii-around | Fishscene: np | 22:28 |

| ecanto | hello gruys | 22:29 |

| DaGeek247 | ecanto : #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:29 |
| LostPenguin | at least I think, this command line stuff is way too cryptic | 22:29 |
| meshuggah | lol | 22:30 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: :( it looks like you hitted a kernel regression. the driver should work after the kernel upgrade | 22:30 |
| meshuggah | hiya ecanto how are you man? | 22:30 |
| ecanto | somebody use notebook dell inspiron 1440? | 22:30 |

| DaGeek247 | hi ecanto! | 22:30 |
| ecanto | DaGeek247, hi. | 22:31 |
| LostPenguin | so no ideas? | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | bluezone: the driver worked with the old versin ( you got gui ) and it stopped working with the new one ... | 22:31 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, corrupted kernel? | 22:31 |
| bluezone | erUSUL, yeah | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | LostPenguin: ko files go in /lib/modules/kernelversion/somewhere | 22:32 |
| erUSUL | LostPenguin: but kkernel drivers you compile should have a « make install » that just do the right thing (tm) | 22:32 |

| kofeman | рус? | 22:45 |
| jrib | robert11: well what do your users need to do? Do they need to put stuff on the Desktop at all? | 22:45 |
| bazhang | kofeman, #ubuntu-ru | 22:46 |
| erUSUL | Fishscene: probably plain libzip-dev | 22:46 |
| Fishscene | I'll install it. Thanks | 22:46 |
| robert11 | jrib i'm letting them save things to the desktop that they downloaded using a web browser, but i have used apparmor to secure nautilus so that they can't browse the whole filesystem they're confied to their home dir | 22:46 |
| KeyLimePi | any idea where I might find previous versions of flash player which work with Lucid (10.04) and 64-bit. My only guess is that I need to roll back a few sub versions | 22:47 |
| erUSUL | use separate home; mount it as noexec ? | 22:47 |
| erUSUL | robert11: ^ | 22:47 |
| LostPenguin | the driver it's trying to replace is ~/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-cxusb.ko | 22:47 |
| Fishscene | erUSUL: It worked! Thanks Mate. | 22:47 |
| normal | :D | 22:48 |
| erUSUL | Fishscene: no problem | 22:48 |
| jrib | robert11: would not allowing +x on the Desktop be sufficient? | 22:48 |
| erUSUL | LostPenguin: why do you need to replace it? | 22:48 |
| robert11 | also a lot articles say that when u want to lockdown gnome desktop environment use gconf but the user can easily go back and change the gconf settings using a shell script if they really wanted couldn't they would changing the .gconf dir owner to root and 700 permison on it prevent users from changing it ? will that work ? or do they need to have permission to change otherwise gnome won't work properly | 22:48 |

| SambaTourist | I'm installing 10.04 on an old HD with data that I'd rather not lose. Step 4 of the install gives two options; Erase disk or specify partition (advanced). What settings should I use when setting partitions? | 22:49 |
| SambaTourist | help | 22:49 |
| mongy | KeyLimePi, latest 32bit from repo | 22:50 |
| Varc | Is not form my, is fora friend he is trying with the terminal but can't | 22:50 |
| jrib | robert11: I believe you can achieve that using ACLs | 22:50 |
| robert11 | jrib also what about if they mount their usb drive and then try and execute shell script from the drive would that work or will i have to remove +x on the usb drive | 22:50 |
| KeyLimePi | mongy: do you have a 64-bit system? | 22:50 |
| robert11 | jrib the gconf stuff? | 22:50 |
| mongy | KeyLimePi, I only use it when its really needed. html5 for youtube when it can, and I guess crappy flash for everything else | 22:50 |
| Varc | Thansk you bazhang and erUSUL | 22:50 |
| mongy | KeyLimePi, yes | 22:50 |
| KeyLimePi | ah, so how did you install it. I tried downloading the latest 32-BIT one from Adobe but it wouldnt let me. "wrong architecture" | 22:51 |
| MarcusMaximus | I'm trying to get pulseaudio to use a specific alsa device(hw:0,8), anyone know how to do that? | 22:52 |
| jrib | robert11: Access Control Lists (man setfacl, man getfacl; all that's required is the "acl" option in fstab for the partition) I don't know if there's a way for you to prevent users from modifying permissions at all in nautilus, that may be possible. Regarding the usb, I suppose you could set it up so they get mounted noexec. Also, you have to be careful that they can't re-associate default applications | 22:52 |
| jrib | in nautilus (since they could have text files get sourced through bash I suppose) | 22:52 |
| erUSUL | LostPenguin: have you tried this method for adding a usb id? http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/AddID | 22:52 |
| erUSUL | LostPenguin: in the web page is for a wifi driver but for the dvb should be pretty similar | 22:53 |

| Varc | !sudo | 22:55 |
| 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 | 22:55 |
| Freeaqingme_ | I have a file. what command can I use to get one line in specific, and the few lines before, and after that line? | 22:55 |
| jrib | robert11: you should try the #gnome channel (here on freenode and on gimpnet too) | 22:55 |
| robert11 | cheers jrib i'll look into that, so you think i should use ACL's for stopping users from executing shell scripts etc? | 22:55 |
| robert11 | jrib ok will do | 22:56 |
| jrib | robert11: that's just one way that should work. But maybe there is some gconf/pessulus/sabayon, more gnome-y way of doing it | 22:56 |
| morbidwar | hello, i created a file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/MyNET but when i restart the network NetworkManager doesn't load the file, what else do i need to activate to use my custom settings? | 22:56 |
| acicula | Freeaqingme_: grep perhaps | 22:57 |
| Freeaqingme_ | acicula, browsing through hte man pages | 22:57 |
| Freeaqingme_ | but nothing so far | 22:58 |
| robert11 | jrib well pessulus sabayon just modify gconf anyway, but users can change their gconf settings can't they if they manager to execute shell scripts, should i set to the owner of the .gconf directory for the user to root do you think that would preven them from chaning the gconf values and i could set it so that other and group members on have read access | 22:58 |
| acicula | Freeaqingme_: google unix or linux text tools | 22:58 |
| jrib | robert11: you can set mandatory gconf keys (it's in the admin docs at library.gnome.org) | 22:58 |
| acicula | Freeaqingme_: maybe that will turn up something usefull about the blackart of linux text tools | 22:58 |

| sveinse | Do you know of other tools? | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | no sorry | 23:02 |
| sveinse | thanks anyways | 23:02 |

| robert11 | jrib my application runs as the user using gnome so in theory the user could find a way to kill my app, do you i should run my kiosk application as a different user ? | 23:04 |

| robert11 | jrib to preven them from killing it? however if they do manager to kill it then X restarts and their session ends and the desktop starts backup again | 23:05 |

| KM0201 | Jordan_U: now that i'm not sure... i don't think so. | 23:32 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: this is the taskbar eh? | 23:32 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: The bottom bar where running applications show up, like the Windows startbar, yeah | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | KM0201: It's the closest to what I want so far, and will do if I can't find anything else. Thank you. | 23:32 |
| KM0201 | Jordan_U: no prob.. i'll keep my eyebals open for something else, but i agree, thus far, it's the closest i've saw also. | 23:33 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: I read something about a graphics safe mode? I'm not sure how to boot into that.. I was thinking if I could boot into that and it still worked then it probably isn't a graphics card issue (though I'm at a loss at this point) | 23:33 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: this is probably not the best solution, but try deleting that whole panel then readding all the items | 23:33 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: alright | 23:33 |
| VCoolio | TylerMcMaster: system > preferences > monitors | 23:33 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: yeah idt its a graphics issue at all | 23:33 |
| LostPenguin | so no one has any experience with drivers besides erUSUL? | 23:34 |
| TylerMcMaster | Thanks VCoolio | 23:34 |
| kx | hello anybody out there? | 23:36 |
| kx | lol | 23:36 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Are the only two things on that panel the running applictions and workspace switcher? | 23:37 |
| Pudabudigada | kx; what'ya ned? | 23:37 |
| kx | hey i have a problem with X | 23:37 |
| kx | whats it called | 23:37 |
| grkblood13 | is it true in the latest version of ubuntu you can control audio by apps like win7? | 23:37 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: depends theres also the show desktop recycle bin as well usually | 23:37 |
| kx | it has to do with graphical user interface | 23:37 |
| Phase | ah | 23:38 |
| Noeltorious | grkblood13: afaik you can do this in the sound menu in the last tab | 23:38 |
| KM0201 | grkblood13: i really dont know what you mean, i've used several apps to control the volume just for that app over the years. | 23:38 |
| kx | my net book runs fine for a bit then the screen starts distorting | 23:38 |
| grkblood13 | im talking about via the system volume control | 23:38 |
| grkblood13 | versus doing it by devices | 23:38 |
| garrettb | is 11.04 the "current version" ... went to ubuntu.com, clicked the download, thought I get 10.10 (like the dropdown said) but after fighting with odd behavior for house decided to look at the about and I actually installed 11.04 ? | 23:38 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Hmm, I think it locked up for a minute when I tried to add the System Monitor applet, but so far everything's still working | 23:39 |
| garrettb | Everything I can find says it's alpha | 23:39 |
| erUSUL | garrettb: what does « lsb_release -a » says? | 23:39 |
| KM0201 | grkblood13: then yes, you can clcik on sound pref and applications tab, and adjust everything there (if it's a fast sound though, you'll have to be quick, cuz it disappears once the sound goes off) | 23:39 |
| LostPenguin | so no one has any idea how to add device ids to the kernel? | 23:39 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: totally unrelated but i love having that in my taskbar, always change the colors though. i wonder what that blank space was, did you add anything recently? | 23:39 |
| garrettb | No LSB modules are available. | 23:39 |
| garrettb | Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 23:39 |
| garrettb | Description:Ubuntu 10.10 | 23:39 |
| garrettb | Release:10.10 | 23:39 |
| garrettb | Codename:maverick | 23:39 |
| FloodBot2 | garrettb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:39 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Nope, 100% fresh install | 23:40 |
| KM0201 | garrettb: you're using 10.10... somehow the "about" for 11.04 got into a 10.10 update | 23:40 |
| Pudabudigada | kx, put the name of the person helping you in your post, else it will get lost | 23:40 |
| garrettb | Ok...ty | 23:40 |
| kx | Pudabudigada | 23:40 |
| kx | k | 23:40 |
| Equanthom | hello | 23:41 |
| Pudabudigada | kx, Is it affected by moving the screen physically, different resolutions, or other OSs? | 23:41 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Ok, it locked up again when I opened the System Monitor window | 23:41 |
| Noeltorious | grkblood13: you mean by clicking the indicator or by going into the sound menu? i coulda sworn there was a tab for per app volume | 23:41 |
| kx | Pudabudigada i do nothing | 23:41 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Just for shits and giggles I'm going to burn another 10.10 disc.. though this one should be fine. | 23:42 |
| KM0201 | Noeltorious: it's the application tab... it has a volume meter for each appt hat is currently running sound | 23:42 |
| kx | Pudabudigada sometimes when im on facebook it does it | 23:42 |
| Pudabudigada | Are you using it now? | 23:42 |
| Pudabudigada | kx | 23:42 |
| LostPenguin | is there some other place I can go for help more specific to my needs of trying to get this driver to work? | 23:42 |
| kx | yes | 23:42 |
| kx | Pudabudigada: its running ok though | 23:42 |
| Noeltorious | KM0201: thanks, grkblood13 does that sound like what youre looking for? | 23:43 |
| Pudabudigada | kx Try moving the screen | 23:43 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: yeah im sorry about that, honestly never seen of heard of that | 23:43 |
| Pudabudigada | kx you may be doing it w/o realising | 23:43 |
| kx | Pudabudigada: the settings? | 23:43 |
| grkblood13 | ill try in a sec | 23:44 |
| Pudabudigada | kx, No, I mean grab it | 23:44 |
| grkblood13 | im running aroudn right now | 23:44 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Me either :|, I just figured it might be a graphics card issue because this is the first time I've had a computer with a non-intel integrated chip :P | 23:44 |
| grkblood13 | im sure it is though | 23:44 |
| KM0201 | Phase: what is your integrated chipset?... if it's ATI or Nvidia, it's probably OK.. that one.. SiS or something, is kinda wonky | 23:44 |
| Noeltorious | Phase: the more you describe the issue the more im starting to wonder if thats it myself, you said you were unaware how to do safe graphics mode right? | 23:44 |
| Phase | Noeltorious: Right | 23:45 |
| kx | Pudabudigada yeah i grab it then the cube kicks in | 23:45 |
| Phase | KM0201: I'm not sure, I know the card is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP | 23:45 |
| LostPenguin | so no one knows anything about drivers in here? | 23:45 |
| KM0201 | Phase: and its freezing up?.. did you install the ATI driver? | 23:45 |
| Pudabudigada | kx What? | 23:46 |
| Phase | KM0201: I had fglx (sp) drivers.. and brb just a second. Pizza's here. | 23:46 |
| kx | Pudabudigada i dont understand what you mean by grab the screen, you mean physically? | 23:46 |
| Pudabudigada | kx Yes! | 23:46 |
| Pudabudigada | kx Did you think I meant prnt scrn? Srry! | 23:47 |
| kx | Pudabudigada k nothing happens | 23:47 |
| Pudabudigada | kx Now try a resolution change | 23:47 |
| laur | Hello! Is here anyone familiar with HP computers and Ubuntu? | 23:48 |
| Hilarie | Stupid question incoming! | 23:48 |

| kx | 23:48 | |
| kx | Pudabudigada k | 23:48 |
| Hilarie | Did I install 32bit or 64 bit? how can I find this out? | 23:48 |
| bluezone | would it be possible to run an .EXE file using wine on a read-only cd, (checking the allow execution in properties cannot be done) | 23:48 |
| Hilarie | by process of elimation! | 23:48 |

| Laurenceb_ | hi | 23:49 |
| Laurenceb_ | im getting page load errors in firefox | 23:49 |
| Noeltorious | Laurenceb_: hey | 23:49 |
| LostPenguin | bluezone: yeah, that's how I installed FFXI | 23:49 |
| kx | 23:49 | |
| kx | Pudabudigada ok i did it, when it was changing the resolution it distorted and then grabbed the config | 23:49 |
| bluezone | LostPenguin, how would you do it? | 23:49 |
| genii-around | Hilarie: uname -p also tells you | 23:49 |
| KM0201 | Laurenceb: download firefox killer... Chrome :) | 23:49 |
| Laurenceb_ | it seems that firefox is never getting responses back from the webserver | 23:50 |
| bluezone | LostPenguin, because it tells me that it cannot be opened, you the "the file... is not marked as executable" | 23:50 |
| Laurenceb_ | about 20% of occasions | 23:50 |
| kx | 23:50 | |
| kx | Pudabudigada: ill try to see if it happens and if it still happens then ill move those settings around see if it gets better, thank you very much your help is greatly appreciated | 23:50 |
| Hilarie | http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb64.html Do I already have those listed requirements? | 23:50 |
| LostPenguin | bluezone chmod | 23:50 |
| FloodBot2 | kx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:50 |
| Hilarie | on a ubuntu 10.1 64bit system | 23:50 |
| goddard | hey | 23:50 |
| bluezone | LostPenguin, :( forgot about that | 23:50 |
| bluezone | +777? | 23:50 |
| joefozmans | Hilarie: Try uname -u (in terminal) | 23:50 |
| goddard | is there an offical place to read about ubuntu updates to verify them? | 23:51 |
| terry_ | How do i install a usb wireless antenna Linux driver from a disc to Ubuntu 10.04. Step by step guide please | 23:51 |
| Hilarie | Where do I find the terminal? | 23:51 |
| Pudabudigada | kx, 'k I'll be here for a while longer if you need more | 23:51 |
| zulax | i am burning a ubuntu server to a cd, does it harm to check the option " leave the disc open to add files later" ? | 23:51 |
| laur | goddard: www.ubuntu.com seems pretty official :) | 23:51 |
| KM0201 | Hilarie: if you don't, when you double click on the .deb file... software manager will download them... if there's a dependency it cannot download, it will show an error before you install it | 23:51 |
| bluezone | joefozmans, i think he is trolling :( | 23:51 |
| Phase | KM0201: Back now, wouldn't 10.10 install the opensource drivers by default? (I never did check to see specifically before I switch to the propertiery ones) | 23:51 |
| Hilarie | Thank you! | 23:51 |
| Phase | switched* | 23:51 |
| Laurenceb_ | so, about 20% of the time when i try to load a page, i never get a response back from the server. The problem then repeats itself and i have to try F5 about 20 times before it works | 23:51 |
| gaurav__ | i am using ubuntu server 10.10 in my vbox .. i installed Ubuntu desktop in ubuntu server when i boot it directly go to Gnome screen i want to switch back to console screen | 23:52 |
| KM0201 | Phase: i'm really not sure to be truthful... i don't use ATI.. i just know a lot of people use the driver from ATI.com cuz they are not happy w/ the one ubuntu provides | 23:52 |
| Pudabudigada | Hilarie, Applications>Accessories>Terminal | 23:52 |
| gaurav__ | what i do | 23:52 |
| bluezone | LostPenguin, +777 ? | 23:52 |
