| josephseraos | erUSUL, Hey, how do I put one user to work with the "sudo" command? | 00:04 |
| josephseraos | erUSUL, by default, in Debian, there is no user who can work with sudo... Understand? | 00:04 |
| Cpt_Zyph | the_student well on a fresh install with normal desktop 10.10 i cant use it because the gui is messed up so i downloaded the alt version and that does the old install .. b ut then when it boots its all scrambled and i cant make out anything on the screne | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | josephseraos: you are in debian? | 00:04 |
| Cpt_Zyph | erUSUL i thought so too atleast there was when i installed 10.04 but i wasnt seeing it on either of these.. did i use the wrong media? | 00:04 |
| kv102t | erUSUL: hold it. what is this list for? | 00:04 |
| kenneth_reitz | is there a way to have a username alias? | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: it is what tells apt where to look for packages | 00:05 |
| Sdw195 | coz_: xp | 00:05 |
| Sdw195 | i havnt installed ubuntu yet | 00:05 |
| josephseraos | erUSUL, No, I'm not. But I have a desktop that uses Debian... I'm trying to get start with | 00:05 |
| Cpt_Zyph | which media calls for the lesser video graphics vesa on fresh install? | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: the one that is wrong seems to be for playonlinux judging by the filename | 00:05 |
| bastidrazor | josephseraos: sudo adduser username admin ... that will add username to the group admin which allows sudo | 00:05 |
| coz_ | Sdw195, well when you install ubuntu it will install grub which will allow you to choose which operating system you want to use for that session | 00:05 |
| kv102t | erUSUL: all packages or just playonlinux. i don't use it. | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | Cpt_Zyph: i think the livecd has it in the boot menu | 00:05 |
| coz_ | Sdw195, I suggest you defrag windows xp at least once before installing ubuntu | 00:05 |
| the_student | Cpt_Zyph: Tough nut, repeat wo my username and see if someone else knows | 00:05 |
| Cpt_Zyph | humm | 00:05 |
| kv102t | i don't want it so this list is void to me.. | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: the one that fails is the playonlinux one | 00:06 |
| Blank | The main sources file is /etc/apt/sources.list, I think. | 00:06 |
| MarkAng | Hey there, fine fellows! I'm having a weird little problem. It's not a problem that needs immediate solving, but a little help might be useful. Anybody up for helping? Just let me know. | 00:06 |
| kv102t | how can i stop it looking at this list? | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: the error cearly states as much E: Type ‘<html>’ is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list | 00:06 |
| coz_ | MarkAng, well it would be easier for smeone to help if you tell us the problem :) | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: remove the file if you do not use it | 00:06 |
| MarkAng | Haha, was wondering when the first would say that XD | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list | 00:07 |
| Cpt_Zyph | erUSUL ooo.. i normal try to avoid the live disks but i guess that would be ok .. so get live disk .. boot then do install to system once in gnome?? or can i do a install from fresh boot before going into live session? | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: then run « sudo apt-get update » | 00:07 |
| josephseraos | bastidrazor, look: I don't have to create a new user. There is one user by default too. But, to run apt-get, I have to change user to -> su <- (root) | 00:07 |
| kv102t | erUSUL: i still get error | 00:07 |
| MarkAng | Every so often, my Ubuntu 10.10 produces the weirdest graphical glitch, where all the fonts get messed up (sometimes beyond readable) and it won't do stuff like hibernating. | 00:07 |
| Sdw195 | coz_: i recently installed 10.10 on my desktop and couldnt get it to run on the same drive as xp | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | kv102t: post the error you get | 00:08 |

| === Pinako is now known as JollySwagman | ||
| coz_ | Sdw195, that's odd... unless the ubuntu cd is corrupted...it should have allowed you to set the size of the partition for ubuntu and then install grub for you to choose | 00:09 |
| njbair | I have a flash drive that I can't unmount because the gvfsd-tra command is keeping it busy. | 00:09 |

| mzawieska | hey I am runing ubuntu. But also I installed virtualbox where is windows xp installed. When i plug usb devices such as usb stick its not showing it? what can i do | 00:11 |
| nofrillz | its not showing in ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| Cpt_Zyph | erUSUL were is the live ed download?? im not seeing it on the ubuntu site | 00:11 |

| mzawieska | no its not showin on the vbox where i have installed windows xp | 00:12 |
| Fraxtil | Is there a way to toggle caps lock from the terminal? I've mapped it to another key but there are some (rare) cases where I need to use it. | 00:12 |
| nofrillz | did you enable usb support when you installed virtualbox? | 00:12 |
| Blank | MarkAng - My only guess would be video driver related, but that's not much help. | 00:13 |
| KM0201 | mzawieska: what version of virtualbox did you install? | 00:13 |
| MarkAng | Heh, no. | 00:13 |
| kv102t | erUSUL: deleted all fine now thanks | 00:13 |
| nofrillz | Fraxtil, I would remap that key to Shift+CAPS, and leave caps-lock alone | 00:13 |
| nofrillz | or vice versa | 00:13 |
| sam___ | hi can anyone help? | 00:13 |
| mzawieska | how can i check what version i am running | 00:13 |
| josephseraos | bastidrazor, when I put su, and put the password, I entered like root.. So, I put you command: adduser joseph adm (do not have admin) and it returns -> joseph is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported | 00:13 |
| MarkAng | But that does sound logically. Usually it works just fine, I can view movies, run all kinds of graphical content and such no problem | 00:13 |
| nofrillz | virtualbox -> about | 00:13 |
| erUSUL | Cpt_Zyph: the normal desktop cd is the livecd | 00:14 |

| erUSUL | nofrillz: move the mouse around | 00:15 |
| fredd | is the remastersys still available ? | 00:15 |

| deltaray2 | How can I set service process options/flags in Ubuntu. For instance, on redhat, you can usually edit the service config file in /etc/sysconfig/servicename | 00:17 |
| nofrillz | I was merely curious is all | 00:17 |
| MarkAng | Blank It seems completely random, but it almost always occurs when I'm working on said Flash app (Pimp My Gun 0.6 if you're curious) and I enter hibernation. When I come out of hibernation it usually happens. | 00:17 |
| nofrillz | bam | 00:17 |
| erUSUL | EnigmaticCoder: /join #awk | 00:17 |
| nofrillz | that sentence I typed, finished it | 00:17 |
| EnigmaticCoder | good idea, ty | 00:17 |
| nofrillz | :D | 00:18 |
| iflema | nofrillz: do somethingelse on the compuiter that is.... | 00:18 |
| bastidrazor | josephseraos: you should ask for help on debian in #debian | 00:18 |
| nofrillz | also for text browsers | 00:18 |
| nofrillz | I have no clue on any of them | 00:18 |
| MarkAng | Well, not almost always, but it usually happens after hibernating like 3 times or so in a row. | 00:18 |
| nofrillz | so google :) | 00:18 |

| KM0201 | mzawieska: are you gonna listen or just post mindless drivel.. that is irrelevant to your problem | 00:19 |
| Cpt_Zyph | erUSUL is it some other options i can pick from the install screen .. acpi=off or noapic or edd=on something like that to make it dumb down the video drivers? | 00:19 |
| bastidrazor | josephseraos: the command i gave will work for Ubuntu. i would not recommend it in Debian. ask in #debian | 00:19 |
| Cpt_Zyph | erUSUL i cant boot to the non alt desktop disk and see anything at all on this laptop so im guessing i should have a similar option on this alt desktop disk as well im just not seeingit like i used to on the 10.04 disks | 00:20 |

| Firefishe | I'm using ubuntu/kubuntu 10.10 LTS. I have two users, myself, and my wife. I'm having an issue with the balance controls for my side. When I log in, my balance control is always to the far left, and I have to use the gnome-sound-properties dialog to correct it, regardless of whether I'm using kde or gnome. My wife's side does not have this issue. What might be the problem? | 00:32 |
| Sdw195 | :(] | 00:32 |
| nofrillz | Firefishe, your wife is superior in the eyes of Ubuntu | 00:33 |
| tyler_d | ^lol | 00:33 |
| nofrillz | :P | 00:33 |
| Firefishe | nofrillz: In my eyes, too :-) | 00:33 |
| hansw | is 10.10 lts? | 00:33 |

| nofrillz | you have a package manager open | 00:35 |
| nofrillz | like synaptic | 00:35 |
| nofrillz | or ubuntu software center | 00:36 |
| nofrillz | or you are running apt-get | 00:36 |
| Firefishe | check also for forgotten terminals that might be open on another desktop | 00:36 |
| nofrillz | that too | 00:36 |
| Firefishe | ...that might have had apt-get being used | 00:36 |
| Firefishe | I've done that more than I care to admit ;)( | 00:37 |

| sitescripter | does anyone know an easy way to reduce the bit depth of the screen? i think it's running at 24 or 32 bit color depth. i'd rtfm more, but my eyes recently became very light sensitive, and reading is hard on the screen. i'm hoping reducing the color depth might help reduce the contrast. i'm using ubuntu/gnome/and ati/"amd proprietary fglrx graphics drivers" . mostly the default ubuntu 10.10 install. | 00:37 |

| randomcake | Hi, I'm running a dual boot system, with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 HP, can symbolic links be created that will work across Windows and Linux? Or are NTFS junctions incompatible? | 00:38 |
| Hilikus | how do i upgrade the alsa drivers? | 00:38 |
| bthornton | I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 . Sometimes when I log in, my GNOME desktop looks like the theme has changed (i.e. it's not doing theming). How do I fix this (without logging out)? | 00:38 |
| bthornton | as I recall, this is a gconfd issue | 00:38 |
| nofrillz | ubuntu cant write to ntfs by default | 00:39 |
| josephseraos | the problem is in libc package | 00:39 |
| nofrillz | and the sym link structure is different per os I believe | 00:39 |
| hansw | sitescripter, sytem -> preferences -> monitors | 00:39 |
| aeiou | i've done: 'sudo aptitude install postfix telnet mailx' but i am unable to send mail from cli (i.e 'mail' program seems to be missing) | 00:40 |
| aeiou | how do I install it? | 00:40 |
| Firefishe | nofrillz: might you have an inkling on my aformentioned balance control issue? | 00:40 |
| nofrillz | I have no clue bro | 00:40 |
| Firefishe | nofrillz: cool...thanks anyway | 00:40 |
| nofrillz | im a sound newb when it comes to linux | 00:40 |
| sacarlson | sitescripter: I'm not sure about the color depth but themes can change the look and colors used, System>Preference>Apperance | 00:40 |
| nofrillz | i just got sound working yesterday | 00:40 |
| Firefishe | nofrillz: It's some type of config file, but I just can't figure out which one | 00:40 |
| hansw | nofrillz, windows is not able to understand symbolic links the way linux creates them | 00:40 |
| randomcake | nofrillz: is there a package that will be able to write a sym link that windows will be able to read? I want to move the 'users' directory, which I don't think will work while Windows is running | 00:41 |
| josephseraos | Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8_amd64.deb | 00:41 |
| nofrillz | randomcake: see what hansw said | 00:41 |
| meco | What application do I use to unpack a .IMG file? | 00:41 |
| nofrillz | if there is a package, I have no clue what its called | 00:41 |
| nofrillz | .IMG = disk image | 00:41 |
| nofrillz | iso mounter probably | 00:41 |
| nofrillz | josephseraos, what errors | 00:42 |
| razz1 | are there any good wireless keyboard mouse for ubuntu. I know that logitech's wireless encryption does not work in linux, looking for a new pair, wondering should I bother with wireless or just get USB ones. | 00:42 |
| randomcake | okay, hmm, wonder if it's a soft or hard link... | 00:42 |
| KM0201 | nofrillz: gmountiso will mount ISO images, if thats what you're asking for | 00:42 |
| nofrillz | Well ususally when they can mount ISO images, they can mount IMG images as well | 00:42 |
| nofrillz | in my experience that is | 00:42 |
| slixxor | hey all | 00:43 |
| sitescripter | sacarlson, thanks for the tip, but i want something that will tone down everything, graphics included. and web pages, and application gui's etc... something global. the settings are probably in a text file somewhere but i'm hoping for a gui tool. | 00:44 |
| === Fraxtil is now known as Fraxtil` | ||
| sitescripter | hansw, thanks i'll check there | 00:44 |
| nofrillz | sitescripter, you think about turning down the brightness of the screen itself? | 00:44 |
| sitescripter | hansw, no color depth settings. | 00:45 |
| chrislustic | Hollaaaa all | 00:45 |
| sitescripter | nofrillz, yes, i have. it helps a lot, but the contrast is still too overbearing. | 00:45 |
| nofrillz | :/ | 00:45 |
| yeats | josephseraos: can you post the full output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'? (paste at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ) | 00:45 |
| chrislustic | I used to work at nofrillz | 00:45 |
| meco | KM0201: Is that the only app for making a .IMG file playable? | 00:45 |
| sitescripter | i had sudden vision changes. it's cut into my career a bit (i'm a javascripter mostly). makes the screen hard to see | 00:45 |
| === nick is now known as Guest82619 | ||
| nofrillz | sitescripter, i think theres some sort of accesibility option for that | 00:46 |
| KM0201 | meco: no, i thought you wanted to mount the IMG so you could browse it... are you trying to install it t a drive so you can boot it? | 00:46 |
| n3kr0n | nofrillz, "recuva estimated time: 15 hours" :P I hope it works... | 00:46 |

| chrislustic | Could someone help me speed my fan up? | 00:46 |
| meco | KM0201: It's a video that I want to play | 00:46 |
| nofrillz | meco, is the IMG file a disk image, or some sort of media? | 00:46 |
| nofrillz | omg | 00:47 |
| nofrillz | forget mounting it | 00:47 |
| nofrillz | download vlc | 00:47 |
| meco | I have vlc. Can it play the .IMG file directly? | 00:47 |
| nofrillz | probably | 00:47 |
| txdv | yeah | 00:47 |
| nofrillz | if not there should be a codec for it | 00:47 |
| meco | ok.. I thought it couldn't.. | 00:47 |
| nofrillz | which vlc would prompt you to install | 00:47 |

| meco | great! appreciate the help :-) | 00:48 |

| nofrillz | on boot | 00:48 |
| meco | txdv: Likely it has | 00:48 |
| nofrillz | press F1 | 00:48 |
| nofrillz | wtf is x-lite? | 00:49 |
| chrislustic | Nofrillz my fan works fine, I am on an IMAC, and when I boot mac I have my fan upto 3500 rpm, but when I boot linux, it's slow It gets quite hot after a while. | 00:49 |

Somehow, I managed to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 beta instead of 10.10..what's the best way to rolll back? 2. My diplay is screwed up in an odd way.. Is it horizonal refresh or something easy to fix ( see screen shot here: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/5405758/1/ubuntu-problem?h=984adc ) | 00:50 |

| nofrillz | yes | 00:51 |
| TomV-415 | (box is Dell Latitude) | 00:51 |
| Chilaquiles | bastidrazor: I already did | 00:51 |
| nofrillz | rollback = save files to other location | 00:51 |
| nofrillz | reformat | 00:51 |
| nofrillz | install 10.10 | 00:51 |
| Chilaquiles | nofrillz: yes is a soft phone | 00:51 |
| Chilaquiles | nofrillz: yes is a soft phone, but is for windows no for linux | 00:51 |
| yeats | TomV-415: what does 'cat /etc/lsb-release' tell you? | 00:51 |
| TomV-415 | nofrillz: reformat? | 00:51 |
| chrislustic | wow tom v415, in that case I would fresh install 10.10, if you have your stuff, you could also use an archiver to save your stuff | 00:52 |
| nofrillz | Chilaquiles, http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970373 | 00:52 |
| yeats | TomV-415: (that will tell you the version you're on) | 00:52 |
| KM0201 | TomV-415: you very likely did not upgrade to 11.04 if you went to system/about... .the "about" for ubuntu 11.04, bot accidentally pulled into ubuntu 10.10 a while ago... do what yeats is telling you to confirm your ubuntu version | 00:52 |

| nofrillz | update-grub in terminal | 00:53 |

| HunterBukowski | nobody knows why computer freezes at "GRUB" ? | 00:54 |
| sitescripter | ny51bern, i'm checkin the link... | 00:55 |
| nofrillz | apt-get remove namoroka | 00:55 |
| nofrillz | apt-get install firefox | 00:55 |
| Kingsy | nofrillz: it says "package not found" | 00:55 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: my montior looks horrible now. Take a look a the screen shot to see what I'm seeing. Text renders fine, but there's this very odd pixel stuff by the mouse error, and in the icons. | 00:55 |
| ny51bern | sitescripter: having a little issue. My folder syncs on my desktop, but I cant get the icon to get on my top taskbar...therefore, I can't really edit my settings | 00:55 |
| Kingsy | I will try it again.. 1 sec | 00:55 |
| nofrillz | on which one? | 00:55 |
| nofrillz | namoroka? | 00:55 |
| sitescripter | nofrillz, i dont' know how i missed that, but i'll take it from here. looks like a bit of reading. thanks. | 00:55 |
| nofrillz | np | 00:56 |
| KM0201 | TomV-415: i didn't see a screenshot. | 00:56 |
| Kingsy | nofrillz: yup, package not found, namoroka | 00:56 |
| Kingsy | but its installed, I am looking at it right now | 00:56 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: hmmm let me check the link aain. | 00:56 |
| nofrillz | namoroka is ff 3.6 | 00:56 |
| nofrillz | its a codename | 00:56 |
| GeekMan | so i have a small issue with my speakers on my laptop maybe some one can help direct me to the cause of the problem? | 00:56 |
| sitescripter | ny51bern, hmm.. can't help you. sorry. maybe dropbox has seen this already? | 00:56 |
| Kingsy | nofrillz: yea I would prefer to not use a pre release | 00:56 |
| yeats | TomV-415: you could try moving/renaming ~/.gnome2, then logging out and logging back in | 00:56 |
| yeats | TomV-415: sometimes GNOME settings don't work correctly through upgrades | 00:57 |
| andai | When I press enter in Mousepad nothing happens. | 00:57 |
| Kingsy | I am guessing thats what it is | 00:57 |
| nofrillz | I would apt-get remove firefox | 00:57 |
| nofrillz | and then purge it | 00:57 |
| nofrillz | and then reinstall | 00:57 |
| Kingsy | purge it? | 00:57 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: Screenshot is here: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/5405758/1/ubuntu-problem?h=984adc, look at the icons and stuff, whic look corrupted.. | 00:57 |
| nofrillz | sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge | 00:58 |
| TomV-415 | yeats: I'll give that a try. thanks. | 00:58 |
| nofrillz | i think | 00:58 |
| Kingsy | nofrillz: what does that do? | 00:58 |
| ny51bern | sitescripter: ive tried looking online a bit. ill keep looking i guess. thanks anyways! | 00:58 |
| nofrillz | it removes all traces of the package | 00:58 |
| Kingsy | oh ok | 00:58 |
| nofrillz | configs etc | 00:58 |
| andai | for now i just copy pasted the newline character a bunch of times, but that's silly | 00:58 |
| sitescripter | ny51bern, good luck | 00:58 |

| aeiou | could anyone tell me the package i need to end a mail from the cli? | 00:58 |

| Kingsy | nofrillz: if I purge it, and then do apt-get install firefox what version would be installed? 3.5 ? | 00:59 |
| nofrillz | i dont know | 00:59 |
| nofrillz | i have installed firefox in a while | 00:59 |
| Kingsy | i suppose I might aswell just try it | 00:59 |
| nofrillz | depends where you isntall it from | 00:59 |

| chrislustic | in my sound setting i have no bass treble etc. how can I acess this? | 01:00 |
| nofrillz | TomV-415, is that just in your desktop bar | 01:00 |
| nofrillz | or is it in everything? | 01:00 |
| Kingsy | yeats: I also checked sources.list to see if it was there, and I couldnt see it | 01:00 |
| nofrillz | you might have a corrupted theme | 01:00 |
| nofrillz | gtk | 01:01 |
| nofrillz | or gtk itself might be corrupted | 01:01 |
| Kingsy | nofrillz: who me? | 01:01 |
| chrislustic | sound is horrible compared to when I boot mac, but there playing out the same speakers, I need to control my sound equalizer. | 01:01 |
| GeekMan | i have a laptop with four speakers and one sub the 4 speakers are wired so that the mid and tweet are one set. so the first 4 are working but my sub doesnt work | 01:01 |
| nofrillz | not you kingsy | 01:01 |
| Kingsy | :) | 01:01 |
| nofrillz | I was trying to tell TomV-415 | 01:01 |
| TomV-415 | nofrillz: no, it's every where.. Like a pixel depth issue. I'm going to try 1. moving ~/.gnome2 then play with themes.. | 01:01 |
| nofrillz | but he is ignoring me | 01:01 |
| yeats | Kingsy: what's the output of 'apt-cache policy firefox'? (paste at http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the link) | 01:01 |
| Kingsy | 1 sec | 01:01 |
| nofrillz | TomV-415, yeah I would do that | 01:01 |
| nofrillz | or save you themes | 01:01 |
| simplyfail | is there a diff package i should be getting for samba, apt-get install samba is giving me 404 find errors on the repos | 01:02 |
| nofrillz | and just reinstall gtk/gnome | 01:02 |
| TomV-415 | how do I reinstall gtk/gnome? seems like the cleanest path. | 01:02 |
| yeats | nofrillz: it helps if you address the person you're talking to with each message ;-) | 01:02 |
| TomV-415 | sudo apt-get install ? | 01:02 |

| TomV-415 | nofrillz: will that hose my current session, and when I reboot without gnome, what will I see? | 01:03 |
| nofrillz | you will lose some settings | 01:04 |
| nofrillz | maybe | 01:04 |
| TomV-415 | nofrillz: ah, that sounds like a better path... not | 01:04 |
| nofrillz | but it should fix your issues | 01:04 |
| hansw | but the closest to get a new gtk desktop might be to create the account again | 01:04 |
| Blank | It took a bit of work, but I managed to manually add what I was after following http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9910899&postcount=4 . Needed to create/edit a few files to add something to Unity which wouldn't be added normally. | 01:04 |

| Kingsy | yeats: any thoughts? | 01:04 |

| suqa | Someone who have experience of booting via GRUB? I 've tried a cpuple of times the past hour and finds unetbootin but when I choose to "install lubuntu" it startes ubuntu instead. | 01:06 |
| yeats | Kingsy: have you tried the suggestion of deleting/moving your ~/.mozilla folder, then restarting firefox? | 01:06 |
| Kingsy | yeats: no, tbh I don't really know what the issue is, I was hoping someone could explain, don't I need to remove the application and re-install it to rollback the version? | 01:07 |
| HunterBukowski | suqa: a live disc will boot and then let you install | 01:07 |
| suqa | hunterbukowski: cd is no option unfortenatly | 01:08 |
| ny51bern | Sometimes when I restart my computer, my top panel gets messed up and I'm missing some of its components..any ideas? | 01:08 |
| HunterBukowski | can you use a flash drive? | 01:08 |
| suqa | No, my BOIS doesn't support it. | 01:08 |
| suqa | Got to do everything via GRUB. | 01:08 |
| yeats | Kingsy: I have not seen Firefox be renamed like that unless I added the mozilla daily repo | 01:08 |
| sacarlson | suqa: if you have it installed correctly you can change the default boot with startup-manager https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager | 01:08 |
| Kingsy | yeats: i.e should I try the apt-get remove firefox --purge option? and then apt-get install firefox? or will that just re-install namoroka? | 01:08 |
| chrislustic | ugh | 01:09 |
| HunterBukowski | suqa: I'm not familiar with network installs, but that sounds like your only option | 01:09 |
| chrislustic | I've figured out how to speed up my fan but... | 01:09 |
| chrislustic | the process is... | 01:09 |

| yeats | Kingsy: you might try moving your .mozilla folder first though | 01:09 |
| Chilaquiles | nofrillz: I know you just searched for it without seeing if the links work, but is too old that there are no links that work | 01:09 |
| Kingsy | yeats: why? just curious? | 01:09 |
| yeats | Kingsy: that folder contains all your personal settings | 01:09 |

| HunterBukowski | suqa: you said your BIOS doesn't support booting from USB..? | 01:10 |

| HunterBukowski | suqa: I'm confused | 01:10 |
| suqa | Hunderbukowski: No, so I have to do it via GRUB. And i succed to boot from my USB that way. But when choosing an option in the menu "install" "test" "memory test" etc it starts ubuntu anywat | 01:11 |
| suqa | Hunterbukowski: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 01:11 |
| HunterBukowski | suqa: but you can't install it after it starts? | 01:11 |
| jags | hey I'm trying to setup my ubuntu machines to print onto my windows shared printer. I set it all up. I watch it send a 127k file when I'm printing a test page, on the windows machine that 127k file stops at 64k and the file size keeps increasing. It was 64k/50MB by the time I purged the queue. Any Ideas, it won't print from ubuntu? | 01:11 |
| suqa | hunterbukowski: Exactly! It starts Ubuntu instead of lubuntu. But there is only the ubuntu logo who is loading, the system dont start. | 01:12 |
| HunterBukowski | jags: are you using cups? | 01:12 |
| jags | no, I tried both the cups and the recommended driver. They both did the same thing | 01:12 |
| HunterBukowski | suqa: oh, ok, so it freezes on startup? | 01:13 |
| suqa | Yeah, ubuntu is not suppose to start, but it starts and freex. | 01:13 |
| HunterBukowski | jags: It's been a looong time, but I got cups to work after researching in the forums | 01:13 |
| jags | HunterBukowski, ok thanks I'll do some searches | 01:14 |

| TomV-415 | now that I have an idea of my issue (nvidia driver, I'll do a bit of googling..) | 01:17 |
| yeats | Kingsy: if you move that folder out of the way, it sometimes solves the problems (though you lose your bookmarks/settings) | 01:18 |
| suqa | Is lubuntu using ubuntus logo? | 01:18 |
| KM0201 | Jamaican_Linux_F: is it seeing other networks(than the one you've entered) | 01:18 |
| sacarlson | suqa: lubuntu is ubuntu just a different set of packages | 01:18 |
| HunterBukowski | suqa: might still be worth reinstalling on the flash drive, and/or using a different USB port if possible, also check your BIOS | 01:18 |
| suqa | sacarlson: I know | 01:19 |

| induz | I think its 1 GB | 01:20 |
| bazhang | induz, type free in a terminal | 01:20 |
| suqa | sacarlson: So the ubuntu-logo is actually lubuntu trying to boot (loading files)? | 01:20 |
| sacarlson | suqa: that sounds probable | 01:20 |
| suqa | Seems quite reasonly because it is usb 1.1 | 01:20 |
| suqa | extra slow | 01:20 |

| induz | justin___, why it hangs then | 01:26 |
| yeats | CooKieMonster: no | 01:26 |
| HunterBukowski | suqa: as bazhang said, lubuntu is another option, but yes, try xubuntu with xfce or something more compact like DSL | 01:26 |
| bazhang | suqa, xubuntu wont be much different from Ubuntu as far as ram usage | 01:26 |
| suqa | Yes, but 10.10 or 10.04? | 01:26 |
| induz | Its happening when i use my USB drive | 01:26 |

| Ademan | is it valid to perform the actual creation of a network interface in the interfaces pre-up ? (I want to create a tap interface for myself, so I want to add a line "pre-up tunctl -u dan -t tap_dan" to the tap_dan interface configuration, I'm not sure the -t option is correct, but that's the spirit of what I want to do) | 01:48 |

| TomV-415 | gradually working through some issues after my 10.10 upgrade... Here's an update (as an FYI) on what I got working, then questions about the next step. | 01:50 |
| pksadiq | !tab | justin___ | 01:51 |
| ubottu | justin___: 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. | 01:51 |
| pksadiq | justin___: tab is also available here | 01:51 |
| gmg | How can I change the Ubuntu startup splash screen? | 01:51 |
| TomV-415 | My mysterious screwed up graphics was a result of not having the Nvidia drivers, so 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' helped | 01:51 |
| TomV-415 | followed by sudo nvidia-xconfig | 01:51 |
| === AlbertoP_ is now known as AlbertoP | ||
| KM0201 | hmm marcos_ did you see that | 01:52 |
| === Amaranth__ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| TomV-415 | After all that when I rebooted, everything looked promising as my boot screen was very nice, but it totally stops on the reboot screen | 01:52 |
| TomV-415 | I had to boot in recovery mode. | 01:52 |
| TomV-415 | And select low graphics mode. | 01:53 |
| TomV-415 | How do I troubleshoot the boot issue? | 01:53 |
| hilarie | How do I configure proxy settings in pidgen? | 01:53 |
| KM0201 | TomV-415: ran into this issue yesterday w/ someone else, and couldn't figure it out.. .nvidia card do you have? | 01:53 |
| Sengoku | Anyone know where I can change how my alt-tab screen preference | 01:53 |
| bazhang | hilarie, try #pidgin | 01:53 |

| bazhang | mkf00, as in bash? | 01:55 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: how do I determine the card type? this is a Dell Latitude. | 01:55 |
| hilarie | Bleh, I was trying to only use a proxy for chromium, but aparently it's a global thing | 01:55 |
| mkf00 | ye, bash | 01:55 |
| bazhang | mkf00, the people in #bash are | 01:55 |

| josephseraos | ubuntu connects automatically with gnome | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | Blue1: he tried to install the nvidia driver, now can't bring the GUI up... he's in recovery mode now | 01:56 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, yes | 01:56 |
| Blue1 | KM0201: ah okay let you guys work those sometimes can be buggers. | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | Blue1: i probably won't be much help... someone else ran into this yesterday.. didnt have much luck | 01:57 |
| hilarie | Is there a way to set up proxy settings on a per program basis? firefox and pidgen go to a global proxy setting | 01:57 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: I'm using through phone, anyway in terminal try ls /dev/ttyA* and see whether any results popup | 01:57 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: Driver is VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 Go AGP 8x] (rev a1) | 01:57 |
| Blue1 | KM0201: you did try this? grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:57 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, and when I click in connections, in top bar, and Disconnect, the modem's the light keeps blinking | 01:57 |
| elik | Anybody here ever heard of intel_reg_dumper? | 01:58 |
| KM0201 | hilarie: lookin gat the proxy section for pidgin... it looks like you can set it up w/o making it global | 01:58 |
| KM0201 | TomV-415: you said you're in the safe mode GUI now, right? | 01:58 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: right | 01:58 |

| TomV-415 | KM0201: looks like my Nvidia driver is currently activated and in use. | 01:59 |
| hilarie | @km0201 even when I don't tell it to go global, it does anyways' same from chromium, it prompts to make global, when you don't, it does anyways | 01:59 |
| gmg | Is their a program to change the startup splash screen? I installed Splash from the software centre but it doesn't work | 01:59 |
| TomV-415 | KM0201: I'm wondering if there is a log or something I can see regarding the failed normal boot (so I don't have to boot into recovery mode.) | 01:59 |
| KM0201 | hilarie: hmm, i don't use a proxie so i can't really explain that, you'd probably need to take that up in #pidgin | 01:59 |
| KM0201 | TomV-415: i would uninstall the nvidia-driver completely and see if that gets you back to a "regular" GUI | 02:00 |
| jongberg1 | hi, are there any updates for AUFS support in 10.04? | 02:00 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: ok, now you need to find the setting for your connection like accesspoint name, phone number(usually *99#) and then add such details to the file /etc/wvdial.conf | 02:00 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, Understand what I mean? | 02:00 |

| galamar | im trying to join #ipodlinux. any ideas why that is not working | 02:02 |
| CamonZ | s/cd.d/rc.d | 02:02 |
| hilarie | It seems to be a global issue the more I look at it, the only thing that isn't effected by it is Xchat, and its possible it just shoots through my proxy no problem, the real issue here is it prompts for my password when its trying to go global I.E. an administrative function, but regardless of authorization it does anyways | 02:02 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: I'm using actually pppd, because wvdial and gnome network manager kills my connection when a phone comes ;) | 02:02 |

| bazhang | !themes > ny51bern | 02:16 |
| ubottu | ny51bern, please see my private message | 02:16 |
| bazhang | ny51bern, also consider a dock | 02:16 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, ok... using network manager from gnome, clicking in disconnect, the connection is killed. So, the usb modem keep blinking | 02:16 |
| bazhang | cairo-dock , awn, docky etc | 02:17 |
| nofrillz | ok is it just me | 02:17 |
| nofrillz | or does evolution need a password to download mail? | 02:17 |
| bastidrazor | ny51bern: cairo-dock has great eye candy | 02:17 |
| nofrillz | because theres no input box to stick it in | 02:17 |
| nofrillz | just my username | 02:17 |
| bazhang | nofrillz, it does need one | 02:17 |
| ny51bern | bazhang: themes = wallpapers? I don;t want a wallpaper. I'm looking to make my top panel look cool | 02:17 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, and, when I try connect again, it doesn't work. So, I have to remove and plug again, to reconnect. Understand? | 02:17 |
| nofrillz | ny51bern, gnomelook.org | 02:17 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: if you can see that modem in ls /dev/ then you might use sudo eject <your device> which is not usually used | 02:17 |
| nofrillz | where do i stick my password then? | 02:17 |
| ny51bern | Whenever I see a screenshot of someones desktop they look so cool | 02:18 |
| bazhang | ny51bern, no themes are much more than wallpaper; gnome-look.org for examples | 02:18 |
| ny51bern | which do you guys have? | 02:18 |

| hilarie | @km0201 The proxy settings for pidgen and chromium use a gnome type proxy settings to apply things globally, and they apply regardless of administrative authorization, IE it asks for P/W and does it whether you add it or not | 02:18 |

| nofrillz | yeah I got it | 02:18 |

| josephseraos | pksadiq, I have a Nokia too, and when I connect with my cellphone, it work very well. I think poff works for you because you are using wvdial, that uses pppd | 02:23 |
| KM0201 | mister_m: same reason some people can connect through wicd, but not gnome-network-manager... i admit, i have no idea | 02:23 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: I connects using pon itself, might be that is the reason | 02:23 |

| josephseraos | pksadiq, I tried ifconfig usb0 down, and didn't work | 02:25 |
| dismo | Amacidia: *once | 02:25 |
| mister_m | KM0201, is there an alternative version of the gnome network manager that I would be able to use that isn't called wicd? | 02:25 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, no problem. You helped me a lot | 02:25 |
| Amacidia | dismo: hey, not sure, I can ping the box, thats about it. | 02:26 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, have a nice night. See you! | 02:26 |
| KM0201 | mister_m: not that i am aware of.. i don't understand the problem, you connect fine through the gnome-network manager, right? | 02:26 |
| mister_m | KM0201, not an alternative version, but an alternative piece of software | 02:26 |
| mister_m | KM0201, yes | 02:26 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: k | 02:26 |
| mister_m | KM0201, but wicd fails no matter what | 02:26 |
| KM0201 | mister_m: so...? whats the problem, just use gnome-network-manager? | 02:26 |
| clemenstimpler | @ mister_m: are both of them installed simultaneously? | 02:26 |
| mister_m | KM0201, I can't use the gnome one from the awesome wm | 02:26 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, Tomorrow I'll here again | 02:27 |
| KM0201 | oh..hmm | 02:27 |
| josephseraos | pksadiq, gool luck! | 02:27 |
| josephseraos | good* | 02:27 |
| danst_ | why don't you use cli utils | 02:27 |
| dismo | Amacidia: maybe your network card is set in bios for network booting. this way it would be "pingable" | 02:27 |
| KM0201 | yaa | 02:27 |
| bazhang | mister_m, then connect manually | 02:27 |
| pksadiq | josephseraos: I have college tomorrow, then so next 26th | 02:27 |
| mister_m | bazhang, hwo | 02:28 |
| Amacidia | dismo: Correct it is. So I'm not sure why the system is not booting up correctly if I remove the card. Possibly udev ? | 02:28 |

| MACscr | dismo: i am at least using two different hard drives for the two os's, so that should help a bit. I have no problem expanding my swap if its going to work the way i need it to. guess i just need to find more details on it. | 02:38 |
| dr3van | Hello I have a question. I am new to Linux all together , but I have windows 7 installed on one of my hard drives and decided I wanted to install Ubuntu on a second hard drive. How I thought it would work is that ubuntu would install grub when i installed it and when I would restart the computer it would ask what os to boot. Now that I have installed Ubuntu it does not ask and even if i choose the hard drive windows is i | 02:38 |
| dr3van | nstalled on it says the boot record is invalid? | 02:38 |

| novaspirit | i have a data base running on my 2003 server on port 2000 and i have it ssh to my 10.x.x.1 and i need my windows mahine to connect to that data base | 02:39 |
| MACscr | so for hibernation, do i really have to have double the swap? | 02:39 |
| MACscr | or is that more just a recommendation | 02:39 |
| MACscr | er, double my ram | 02:40 |
| dismo | MACscr: hmm? what? | 02:40 |
| Sdw195 | um I/O error could not boot from cd? | 02:40 |

| Senix | okee, you still havent told me, is it a new or old install | 03:18 |
| okee | After the installation was complete, I was prompted to remove the disk before rebooting. | 03:18 |
| dismo | MACscr: should be an option now when shutting down. you may have to (logout, restart acpi, etc...,) easiest to just reboot | 03:18 |

| Sonja | what is the channel for ubuntu Djibouti? | 03:25 |
| okee | so if I just don't reboot for 15 minutes after installing, I should be ok without removing the cmos battery? | 03:25 |
| Rothsdad | lushous dont understand english | 03:25 |
| lushous | bye ! i hope to see you again | 03:25 |
| nofrillz | no | 03:25 |
| nofrillz | thats the reason why the battery is there | 03:25 |
| dismo | okee: remove the powerplug as well | 03:25 |
| nofrillz | so even if its off | 03:25 |
| nofrillz | the battery still feeds power to it | 03:26 |
| rww | Sonja: It would be #ubuntu-dj, but there apparently aren't enough Ubuntu users for that country to maintain a channel. | 03:26 |
| Naeblis | slight problem...why can't i see the .rar files extracted in xubuntu? | 03:26 |
| nofrillz | thats why things like wakeonlan is possible | 03:26 |
| mbvpixies78 | any help with web server index.html not showing? (sorry got disconnected) | 03:26 |

| Sonja | ubuntu djibouti gets no love :( | 03:26 |
| mbvpixies78 | lushous: if you do, you'd better sign a prenup | 03:26 |
| okee | I installed with no battery -- just a power plug. So you want me to remove the cmos battery/ | 03:26 |

| rww | HunterBukowski: that's ontopic for here or #ubuntu-server | 03:28 |
| josephseraos | rww, I was looking for my conversation. And I found it. Thank you very much | 03:28 |
| okee | I am confused and not sure what to do. Someone said something about a battery. Perhaps they should IM me? | 03:28 |
| dismo | Naeblis: uninstall the free version. then you should be fine | 03:28 |
| HunterBukowski | mprince: no, I get the annoying "It works!" even though it just showed my edited index for a bit | 03:28 |
| rww | josephseraos: you're welcome | 03:28 |
| mellin | Ok folks I'm confuse man ls shows -d should list directories. I have tried variations on -d like -ad (all directories?) and I don't get output like I would expect. I mean if I'm at / and issue ls -d I should see many directories. What am I missing? | 03:28 |
| Naeblis | dismo:I'll try | 03:28 |
| Sengoku | OT: anyone know a good ER modelling tool for ubuntu/ | 03:28 |
| HunterBukowski | rww: kk, now if I can get it figured out... | 03:29 |
| rww | mellin: "ls -d" is for listing dictionaries themselves, rather than the contents of dictionaries. You perhaps want ls -R? | 03:29 |
| rww | directories ** | 03:29 |
| rww | mellin: (There aren't that many directories directly off /, so I'm assuming you want to recurse.) | 03:29 |
| mprince | HunterBukowski: did you edit httpd.conf? | 03:30 |
| mellin | rww: Ok got it..as usual operator error. Thanks though | 03:30 |
| HunterBukowski | 3mprince: not on this computer, no don't think so | 03:30 |
| mellin | rww: Actuall what I want to accomplish is just list all directories in a given path | 03:30 |
| HunterBukowski | mprince: any advice? | 03:31 |
| mellin | *Actually* | 03:31 |
| rww | mellin: find / -type d | 03:31 |
| rww | assuming you want subdirectories too | 03:31 |
| HunterBukowski | mprince: where is httpd.conf? I've never messed with it before | 03:31 |
| mprince | HunterBukowski: so where did you put your edited page? | 03:31 |

| mprince | HunterBukowski: hold on, this is ubuntu | 03:32 |
| rww | I was about to say... | 03:32 |
| dismo | Naeblis: unrar-nonfree it's in the restricted repos i think | 03:33 |
| rww | multiverse, actually | 03:33 |
| mprince | HunterBukowski: so inside of /var/www you created an index.html? | 03:33 |
| mprince | HunterBukowski: what do you see when you go to http:<whatever>/index.html | 03:34 |
| mbvpixies78 | mprince: yeah, well, there was already one there. I edited it, it showed up fine in Firefox, then suddenly back to generic it works page... could it be because I had the file still open in command prompt? | 03:34 |
| EnigmaticCoder | What command can I use to find out the name of another command. e.g. I want to find out the command to start open office writer | 03:34 |

| yki | $ firefox http://10.0.2.15/~yki, how can i access that remote? | 03:35 |
| rww | dismo: not really. the stuff in restricted and multiverse is equally non-free, restricted is just stuff that Ubuntu considers a "necessary" evil. drivers and so forth. | 03:36 |

| HunterBukowski | mprince: I just tried the index address in windows (different comp) and get a time-out | 03:36 |

| Jreko | how would i get my hostname on here to be my domain? | 03:39 |
| rww | Jreko: set up rDNS for your IP address. Considering that it looks like you're using a charter.com DHCP assignment, this is unlikely to happen :\ | 03:40 |
| Jreko | why | 03:40 |
| rww | Jreko: because consumer ISPs don't generally do custom rDNS | 03:41 |
| Jreko | i cant use dyndns? | 03:41 |
| rww | Jreko: dyndns doesn't own your IP address, Charter does. | 03:42 |

| DaGeek247 | ok. i cant really help then. my old router sometimes does that and needs a reset to fix it. | 04:03 |

| Faris | Hi . Does anyone know where flash's config file is ? | 04:09 |
| DaGeek247 | Nyt3k : the wireless has auto DHCP enabled? | 04:10 |
| PoGoGoD | can someone help me or guide me with installing wireless drivers please. I am new to ubuntu | 04:10 |
| mudit1141 | okay, so I was trying to enable boot logging | 04:10 |
| Faris | 'cause I need to disable hardware acceleration and I can't do that through flash itself | 04:10 |
| DaGeek247 | i really have no idea | 04:10 |
| mudit1141 | will that help ? | 04:10 |
| kerebrus | mudit1141 you enabled boot logging and then got that error? | 04:11 |
| DaGeek247 | :/ | 04:11 |
| kerebrus | mudit1141 did you do anything else before hand. | 04:11 |
| Roasted | does ubuntu netbook remix run poorly for anybody else on netbook hardware (1.6ghz atom, 1gb ram, intel gfx) while desktop edition runs great? | 04:11 |
| rww | Roasted: Yes. 11.04 is better in that regard; uses Compiz instead of Mutter. | 04:12 |
| Nyt3k | DaGeek247 ye its enabled, i even see the ubuntu under DHCP clients list with 192.168.0.109 IP and time with mac address... | 04:12 |
| Loshki | mudit1141: I assume it used to work. Can you tell me anything about what was going on before the failure started? | 04:12 |
| Sengoku | OT: anyone know a good ER modelling tool for ubuntu/ | 04:12 |
| Roasted | rww, thats funny - I had 11.04 on a flash drive and when I booted up it said incompatible with my hardware..... | 04:12 |
| rww | Roasted: heh | 04:13 |
| mudit1141 | kerebrus: nope it happened before enable boot logging , well this is really weird but I started my machine after a 6 months sabbatical | 04:13 |
| Danny78 | mprince: you still there? | 04:13 |
| Roasted | rww, oh well, I can dream, cant I? *says a little prayer hoping 11.04 wont bomb on netbook hardware upon final release* | 04:13 |
| mykal | hi all. looking to try and improve my graphics. moves play jerkilly in the media player, and youtube is unviewable when fullscreen. $ lspci | grep VGA ... gives response ... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV6 [Vanta/Vanta LT] (rev 15).

| kuru | hi.. I'm trying to use WindowMaker on my older thinkpad laptop.. but it doesn't seem to recognize the wireless card so I don't get online | 04:14 |
| Loshki | mudit1141: can you boot a live cd? | 04:14 |
| kuru | it configures nicely under Gnome, but not windowmaker.. how can I have it configured without going through either .. just on boot-up? | 04:15 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ok well im in the command line but the xorg.conf file is not in /etc/X11 ... im trying to change to vesa mode so i can boot the gui and get things installed correctly | 04:15 |
| DaGeek247 | Nyt3k : goto 195.168.0.1 in any connected system | 04:16 |
| Nyt3k | yea | 04:16 |
| mudit1141 | Loshki: i haven't tried that yet | 04:16 |
| DaGeek247 | on an internet browser like firefox | 04:16 |
| mykal | kuru, not sure which file you need to edit, i think its gedit.conf. you need to add the security key to it on boot. will be a command like ifconfig wlan0 up ssid wpa or similar | 04:16 |
| mykal | kuru, man ifconfig | 04:16 |
| Nyt3k | DaGeek247 im already there | 04:17 |
| DaGeek247 | tell me if ou see anyhing strange | 04:17 |
| Nyt3k | nothing.. | 04:17 |
| debugnet | robinhood: welcome | 04:17 |
| Danny78 | anyone know where the "Listen" option goes in the sites-enabled Ubuntu apache2 web server config file? | 04:17 |
| mykal | kuru, oh, and the file is more likely init.rd | 04:17 |
| Loshki | mudit1141: if you boot the live cd we can poke around the filesystm and (maybe) get it booting again... | 04:17 |
| DaGeek247 | haveyou checked the misbehaving computer's wireless card? | 04:17 |
| mudit1141 | Loshki: kerebrus : these are my kernal logs from 10 days ago, it says something failed with my nvidia driver >> http://pastie.org/1488955 | 04:17 |
| iflema | Cpt_Zyph: in a terminal type man Xorg in particular the -configure option | 04:18 |
| Danny78 | I can't find anythign about it because the actual file is the name you choose for your site | 04:18 |
| Cpt_Zyph | humm not sure were to edit xserver so i can get it to not use the video settings it has .. | 04:18 |
| Nyt3k | DaGeek247 yup it has win 7 dual on it and works fine | 04:18 |
| mudit1141 | Loshki: i can access the file system through recovery mode | 04:18 |
| Danny78 | Cpt_Zyph: xorg.conf I think | 04:19 |
| Cpt_Zyph | Danny78 well im trying to find that xorg.conf file tho to edit it so i can tell it to use vesa as a fresh install my video is broken.. | 04:19 |
| KM0201 | Nyt3k: what exactlyis your prob, if oud on't mind me asking | 04:20 |
| warriorf1rGod | how can I set a static resolv.conf? | 04:20 |
| GoteX | GN8 | 04:20 |
| dismo | mudit1141: can you confirm that the videocard is still fully working? (3d, etc...) | 04:20 |
| GoteX | hi ^ | 04:20 |
| xangua | Cpt_Zyph: there is no xorg.file in ubuntu, create one | 04:20 |
| dismo | mudit1141: oh wait. nvm. | 04:21 |
| dismo | mudit1141: reinstalling the nvidia drivers should solve the issue | 04:21 |
| chd | if I want to run a script from shell and then not have to keep shell open whats the switch for that? | 04:21 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ok so even tho i added the option on install "xforcevesa" nothing changed from a normal install.. so now im in the counsole on recovery mode.. | 04:21 |
| dismo | chd: use screen or dtach | 04:22 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i have never made an xorg.file before.. | 04:22 |
| Danny78 | Cpt_Zyph... sorry, dunno what to suggest, my notes are blank on that topic | 04:22 |
| mykal | i see there are driver packages available in the ubuntu repos for nvidia drivers, how do i tell which is best for me? | 04:22 |
| Cpt_Zyph | xangua is there a template i can use of some kind i dont quite know what to enter for such a file | 04:22 |
| Danny78 | mykal: go to NVIDIA web site, it will tell you | 04:22 |
| mudit1141 | dismo: i suppose, you are telling that a kernel upgrade messed up my nvidia drivers ? | 04:22 |
| mykal | Danny78, thanks | 04:22 |
| Danny78 | mykal: np | 04:22 |
| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: sudo Xorg -configure should do the trick | 04:23 |
| dismo | mudit1141: not sure what messed it up. | 04:23 |

| hole_ | okic | 04:31 |
| iflema | Cpt_Zyph: now edit it, one line only, under section device - change the driver from whatever to vesa. what makes you think this will work. does the com in question actually function. Is there any evidence of bad support (not everything is supported = blame manufacturers) for it on ubuntuforumns, google and the like?? | 04:32 |

| LaNc3R | would you be kind enough to help me? | 04:34 |

| Cpt_Zyph | dismo i dont see that option maybe i didnt get far enough trying to boot to recovery mode cd now | 04:36 |
| rww | LaNc3R: #backtrack-linux, but they block idents of "root". | 04:36 |
| psycho_oreos | UbuntuRules, I believe it will launch a web based configuration daemon, I cannot remember which port will it listen, maybe lsof -i might help | 04:36 |

| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: ah then i misunderstood. it's not in grub. boot in recovery mode. | 04:43 |
| Cpt_Zyph | dismo my options are 2 ubuntu entrys.. one is recovery mode and the other 2 are memory tests.. i can hit c to go to command line or e to edit the commands | 04:43 |
| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: then it will give you the option safe graphics mode. not sure if this is the correct name | 04:43 |
| mOHawk | has ubottu turned into Dr Suess | 04:43 |
| Cpt_Zyph | dismo ok ill go to recovery mode | 04:43 |
| Cpt_Zyph | dismo understood thanks for the direction trying now | 04:44 |

| dismo | thauriswulfa: yes | 04:47 |
| Danny78 | thauriswulfa: yes, xfce desktop at least | 04:47 |
| dismo | thauriswulfa: the more the better though | 04:48 |

| aaronb_houstx | LinuxGuy2009: I have the same printer and don't have that issue printing from Ubuntu 10.10 | 04:48 |
| thauriswulfa | rww: what are you saying? | 04:48 |
| Cpt_Zyph | disomo im in the rescure mode and there is no such option ? | 04:49 |
| hole_ | dismo : looks like it worked as always your help was much appreciated | 04:49 |
| mykal | ok, so i can kinda watch videos in the movie player short of some flickering. funnily enough seems to work better without pri nvidia drivers. but fullscreen flash is like a frame every 2 seconds on fullscreen in firefox and chrome. any way i can boost flash? still cant find any html5 content on youtube to test chrome | 04:49 |
| Cpt_Zyph | dismo i know on older ubuntu even feodra distros there was a install with vesa options but.. atm im stuck | 04:49 |
| rww | thauriswulfa: messages in #ubuntu beginning with ! are usually instructions to ubottu (the channel bot) to send information. | 04:49 |
| Cpt_Zyph | dismo i would think i could load up the x files and change it to use vesa but that didn't seem to work either.. or even tell grub to do something and install nividia options by command line or something | 04:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | aaronb_houstx: Oh cool. I actually just read that manually selecting the PPD that brother provides on the website that is seperate from the one installed on the system from the deb package may work better and I reprinted the test page and it completed. So maybe this will fix it for me. I would like to stick with the LTS but if needed I will upgrade to 10.10. Thanks for the info! | 04:50 |
| aaronb_houstx | thauriswulfa: it depends on what you intend to do... I'm typing this message to you on a laptop running 512MB with Ubuntu 10.10 | 04:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | aaronb_houstx: BTW is yours setup for local USB or network printing? | 04:51 |
| aaronb_houstx | LinuxGuy2009: network printing, scanning, et. al. | 04:51 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | aaronb_houstx: cool | 04:51 |
| thauriswulfa | aaronb_houstx: so you mean 512 not enough for things like compiling | 04:51 |
| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: did you edit xorg.conf after generating it? | 04:51 |
| tanix | help | 04:52 |

| Cpt_Zyph | dismo i have seen this problem in the past both with 10.04 and fedora core.. but in fedora i just changed to vesa and presto no prob.. ubuntu 10.04 install cd had a lower video install and that worked ifne.. once in gnome i would upgrade and install proper nvidia drivers.. | 04:56 |
| Cpt_Zyph | dismo dont know how else to explain the vidoe other then the center of the screen is the bottom right corner and there apear to be 5 versions of the screen runing at once with lines through them all off set from the right corner of the screen | 04:57 |

| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: are you using a crt or lcd? | 04:58 |
| thauriswulfa | QUESTION: for someone learning linux , xubuntu also same like ubuntu means both have same softwares and community support? | 04:58 |
| Loshki | UbuntuRules: how did you install it? | 04:58 |
| UbuntuRules | loshki: sudo apt-get install swat | 04:59 |

| ubottu | thauriswulfa take a xannex i was typing a response: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 04:59 |
| Loshki | UbuntuRules: did you do any of the stuff it talks about here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat | 04:59 |
| thauriswulfa | k | 05:00 |
| thauriswulfa | point noted | 05:00 |
| UbuntuRules | Loshki: yes all of that has been done and verified multiple times | 05:00 |
| KM0201 | thauriswulfa: xubuntu, while it is essentially the same as Ubuntu... there are some differences... Xubuntu support is in #xubuntu... | 05:00 |
| KM0201 | thauriswulfa: they don't have exactly the same software, etc.. but ou can generally install anything thats on ubuntu, on xubuntu if you like. | 05:01 |
| Loshki | UbuntuRules: ok, next place is too find xinetd's log file and see if it sees client requests and tries to start swat | 05:01 |
| Loshki | thauriswulfa: absolute beginners should begin with plain old ubuntu, since the support is, in my opinion, the best.... | 05:03 |

Hope my query is clear. | 05:08 |

| Cpt_Zyph | dismo not to mention find out the exact hardware model number etc as i have not used this machine in years | 05:11 |
| kuttan_ | So basically I want to keep only one app for each function, instead of multiple apps installed per function- which is the case right now. Which renders my system slow. | 05:11 |
| sagaci | Test | 05:11 |
| sagaci | Good | 05:11 |
| GabrielYYZ | kuttan_: try doing (sudo apt-get search "app function") without parenthesis and "app function" = what the app does | 05:11 |
| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: won't matter since there is just one unified nvidia driver | 05:11 |
| dismo | Cpt_Zyph: they are just doing it for stats | 05:12 |

| LaNc3R | where is the backtrack servers? | 05:15 |
| dismo | !backtrack | LaNc3R | 05:15 |
| ubottu | LaNc3R: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| dismo | VectorX: either you add yourself to the group vboxsf or you adjust the permissions of the dir | 05:16 |
| kuttan_ | GabrielYYZ: Thanks, let me try that. I have so much of redundancy for apps on my sys. That now its become slow & unbearable. Even software-center segfaults | 05:17 |

However, powercycle the router and works like a... | 05:24 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | thefinn931: yes...okay so it's not mounting for some reason. the number one on your pastebin looks like that would be the root cause for all that problems. can't mount your partition with ubuntu. now would this be a grub issue??? | 05:25 |
| dismo | jimisrvrox: are you using dhcp or static ips? | 05:25 |
| rww | LaNc3R: type /join #backtrack-linux | 05:25 |
| KM0201 | LaNc3R: why do you keep trying to get backtrack support here?.. you've been told about 40 gazillion times, its not supported here | 05:25 |
| jimisrvrox | afaik static.. | 05:25 |
| thefinn931 | Us3r_Unfriendly: i doubt it... | 05:26 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | thefinn931: i wonder if it is a grub issue that she could reinstall it and update it...it might work | 05:26 |
| bullgard4 | jimisrvrox: You better describe your hardware setup more precisely. And mention what error message you obtain when you want your connection to be seen. | 05:26 |
| thefinn931 | Us3r_Unfriendly: she'd like to keep her files | 05:26 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | thefinn931: well that's a easy fix to get it working again but means using the ubuntu cd to copy files from the hard drive to a portable usb device and then to reinstall the os. But i want to know how to fix it without that. hmm | 05:28 |
| jimisrvrox | dismo: I dislike using nm-applet :) in fact it irritates me that I even have to do a gnome session when I like to run openbox :) | 05:28 |
| dismo | jimisrvrox: so you use /etc/network? | 05:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | thefinn931: grub decides what to boot up. your init should decide what you boot into | 05:28 |
| dismo | jimisrvrox: then check there | 05:28 |
| Akuma | hello, I have 2 ubuntu 10.10 installs on different computers, one of them is playing my mp4's fine (mplayer, VLC, Movie Player), the other one only plays my mp4 (same exact file) file with VLC but mplayer gives me a bunch of "Error on MB: 0" | 05:29 |
| jimisrvrox | I think at one point I even tried to do /etc/init.d/networking restart to see if the interface would come back and no dice but the minute I powercycle my router I get a connection..and this is happening for both wired and wireless connections that I have.. | 05:29 |
| Akuma | not quite sure what is going on | 05:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | thefinn931: well inittab, but ubuntu doesn't use that anymore | 05:29 |
| Akuma | the mp4 movie also works fine on a windows machine | 05:29 |
| bullgard4 | jimisrvrox: Does "eth1" designate a wireless interface? | 05:29 |
| jimisrvrox | bullgard4: no for whatever reason my system says its eth1 instead of eth0..either way the name on the iface should not prevent it from connecting.. | 05:29 |
| dismo | spontator: not really. i can just tell you the usual stuff. | 05:29 |
| dismo | !sound | spontator | 05:30 |
| ubottu | spontator: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 05:30 |

| thefinn931 | thanks | 05:38 |
| masai47 | I am hoping to add a file server and proxy server to a room with a couple of computers with Edubuntu installed. Is there a way that the (clients?) can have /home and any other user related files (such as login credentials) on the file server so that settings follow them from computer to computer. But still have it so that each computer can also boot up and login as standalone if the network is not available? | 05:38 |
| rww | ezy: gpg's -r option doesn't mean recurse like it does in other programs. You can't, in fact, encrypt a directory with gpg. You'd need to tar it up first. | 05:38 |
| ezy | rww, I tried it on a text file and still I can read the file without decrypting | 05:39 |
| rww | ezy: what command are you using for the text file? | 05:40 |
| rww | ezy: oh, another thing... gpg just writes to standard output by default. if you want to write to a file, use gpg -o | 05:41 |
| ezy | rww, ah ok...I will do it that way | 05:41 |
| ezy | rww, thanks a bunch | 05:42 |
| aaronb_houstx | masai47: you can use NFS to export user home dir's from your server, then mount homes on client workstations... login credentials can be centralized with LDAP or other directory | 05:43 |
| tomasi | join #ubuntu-cn | 05:44 |
| masai47 | aaronb_houstx: But if the server is not online what happens with the clients? | 05:44 |
| axp2 | hi all. i'm running natty alpha 1 on my second pc and it's been offering a partial upgrade for about 4 days now with heaps of updated packages not selected in the update list. anyone else experiencing the same? usually the partial upgrade things goes away quicker than that | 05:46 |

| aaronb_houstx | masai47: then no home dir's and no centralized logon... | 05:47 |
| ubunturocks | #debian banned the word ubuntu :\ is sad | 05:47 |
| Akuma | and I still get the "Error at MB: 0" message | 05:47 |
| aaronb_houstx | masai47: it's probably too much trouble to go through if it's going to be a temporary/unstable resource | 05:47 |
| rww | ubunturocks: 1) #debian doesn't support Debian derivatives, just like #ubuntu doesn't support (unofficial) Ubuntu derivatives. 2) #debian is offtopic for #ubuntu ;P | 05:48 |
| ubunturocks | still doesn't make it right they ban the word ubuntu | 05:48 |
| masai47 | its supposed to be a good resource but I am unsure about long term techincal support | 05:48 |

| aaronb_houstx | masai47: if you're really script happy, you could cook a few shell files to rsync the user files between client and server, but the logons wouldn't be easy to do if server was offline | 05:50 |

| user-67842 | I"m having trouble with my audio under ubuntu 10.10. Sound isn't switching to headphones when there plugged in, instead it continues to plays over both the headphones and rear speakers. I don't have an potion to select the headphones as a device under sound settings ether. My sound card is a Realtek ALC889. | 05:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Akuma: then it's a codec issue | 05:51 |
| masai47 | aaronb_houstx: The origional plan was to go with thin clients but some demands for windows nixed that. But I still have a (more)powerful computer to act as a central server and would like to make good use of it. It being a school environment it would be great if students could access everything from any machine. That said, its an african school environment where I am trying to ensure that the maximum will still be available and usable as stuff goes wro | 05:52 |
| Akuma | Us3r_Unfriendly: yea, any idea what I can do to fix it? no quite sure where to look at this point | 05:52 |

| deeeerp | gnewb: My files are safe though, right? | 06:07 |
| gnewb | deeerp: The Repair option usually saves files, a re-install may wipe them out, boot to a live, try and access them and back them up, a good backup routine is like the first or second rule of Electronic Computing Devices. | 06:09 |

| dublued2 | Hello all, I have a question about networking. I have a linksys router that has DHCP and assigns IP addresses to my networked devices. On one of those devices (a wired desktop) I manually assigned an IP address outside of the DHCP range. Now I am unable to see networked drives. Any ideas as to how to remedy this? | 06:17 |
| gnewb | boolcrap: That usually works, yes. | 06:17 |
| gnewb | kanupatar: Did you check the Freenode log, is the screen at log in to the server? | 06:20 |
| aaronb_houstx | dublued2: is your manually-assigned IP in the same subnet? can you ping the Linksys router's inside LAN IP address? | 06:21 |
| alpha_centauri | so: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null gives me about 85mb/s. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda gives me about 16mb/s. why? (regular hd. from samsung) | 06:21 |
| bonjoyee | dublued2: if you gave an ip in the same subnet..you should be able to connect without issues! | 06:21 |
| sjuxax | Hi. My bro-in-law has an iPod here with some DRM'd video on it. Anyone know if there is a good DRM stripper for Linux so that he can watch stuff when he is near a Linux machine? Or if I have to use Windows for a one-time DRM strip, that's OK too. | 06:22 |
| dublued2 | aaronb_houstx: yes it's the same subnet. I am able to get into the router settings by typing in the ip address in the url bar of a browser | 06:22 |
| dublued2 | bonjoyee: yes it's the same subnet | 06:22 |
| kanupatar | nope.. | 06:23 |
| bonjoyee | dublued2: so where's the issue? | 06:23 |
| aaronb_houstx | dublued2: which system has the resources and which can't see? | 06:23 |
| gnewb | kanapatar: The server names and numbers are listed there. | 06:24 |
| dublued2 | so here's the issue. there are 3 devices in play. laptop, desktop, and a NAS. The laptop and NAS get an autmatically assigned ip address from the router. the desktop ip address is manually assigned. i can see the nas drive from the laptop but i cannot see it from the desktop. the desktop ip address was first assigned to be outside of the dhcp range, then i tried assigning it an ip address that was within the dhcp range but it still won | 06:25 |
| dublued2 | the nas unless it gets an ip address automatically from the router | 06:25 |
| aaronb_houstx | dublued2: are you accessing resources via IP address or DNS names? | 06:27 |
| crazzyharry | I have 4 gig ram, and I installed ubuntu 64bit, but when I type free it shows Mem: 3090168 and Swap: 4805628 | 06:29 |
| gnewb | sjuxax: That is like a pirate question, is unsupported here. | 06:29 |
| crazzyharry | why isnt Mem: 4gig ? | 06:29 |
| dublued2 | aaronb_houstx: in the manual settings, i put in the following info: ip: 10.0.0.100 ; subnet mask:255.255.255.0, gateway: 10.0.0.1 ; primary dns: 10.0.0.1 | 06:29 |
| Loshki | dublued2: you've power cycled everything? Starting with the linksys.... | 06:30 |
| dublued2 | Loshki: yes | 06:30 |
| Loshki | dublued2: then I can't explain it. It should work with a legal ip address whether it's within the DHCP range or not... | 06:32 |
| minixking | need to have a question answered anyone willing to help? | 06:32 |
| Loshki | !ask | minixking | 06:32 |
| ubottu | minixking: 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. :-) | 06:32 |

| minixking | hang on let me get into the log file | 06:33 |
| minixking | im getting an error on initial install in ubuntu 10.10 | 06:33 |
| bonjoyee | dublued2: i assume you restarted the networking service on the desktop! | 06:33 |
| crazzyharry | I have 4 gig ram, and I installed ubuntu 64bit, but when I type free it shows Mem: 3090168 and Swap: 4805628 , why isnt Mem showing 4 gig | 06:33 |
| kanupatar | hi all, is it possible to upgrade frm ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu 10.04 directly via 10.04 installation CD? | 06:33 |

| crazzyharry | Loshki, so its making use of all 4 gig ? | 06:34 |
| bonjoyee | dublued2: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 06:34 |
| Loshki | crazzyharry: yeah, I think so... | 06:35 |
| boolcrap | yeah | 06:35 |
| boolcrap | that did not work | 06:35 |

| bonjoyee | dublued2: also if using network-manager restart it as well! | 06:35 |
| minixking | what do i need to change so i can actually install this os and try it out? | 06:35 |
| minixking | i have already surfed some of the forums cant find it on my own | 06:35 |

| dublued2 | bonjoyee: thanks i'll try that | 06:38 |

| minixking | gnea: when you get some time | 06:49 |
| rootx | anybody knows the best wordpress blogging client in ubuntu? | 06:49 |
| kanupatar | hi all, is it possible to upgrade frm ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu 10.04 directly via 10.04 installation CD? | 06:49 |
| plustax | it is indeed kanupatar | 06:49 |
| Gnea | alpha_centauri: using any software out of cvs/svn/git and expecting stability is like expecting a horse not to kick you when you stand behind it and play with its tail | 06:50 |
| rootx | @kanupatar .. nop you cant' | 06:50 |
| kanupatar | i didn't get u | 06:50 |
| Loshki | alpha_centauri: no, check the specs on your drive. If it's badly out of spec I'd consider RMAing it... | 06:50 |
| Loshki | alpha_centauri: also, check the SMART data for the drive... | 06:50 |
| boolcrap | :( | 06:50 |
| alpha_centauri | boolcrap: it would rly. help if you could post these logs. btw. if you boot in recovery and select safe graphics mode you should be able to get your gui back. | 06:50 |
| Gnea | plustax: ah, well there are some newer howtos than that one - note the date on it | 06:50 |
| plustax | right | 06:50 |
| alpha_centauri | alpha_centauri: it's too old for that. | 06:51 |
| plustax | well is it worth tooling with? | 06:51 |
| Gnea | but easy_e17.sh is the correct utility to use | 06:51 |
| alpha_centauri | Loshki: it's too old for that. | 06:51 |
| plustax | gnea or should I just forget about it? It worth it? | 06:51 |
| Gnea | plustax: oh, it's worth it | 06:51 |
| alpha_centauri | Loshki: also checked smart. drive is healthy | 06:51 |
| plustax | hmm | 06:51 |
| okee | Does the version prior to 10.10 also crash if installed on a hard disk? I am only able to get Ubuntu to work from CD. | 06:51 |
| plustax | well I have that utility installed | 06:51 |
| plustax | it just doesnt do shit | 06:51 |
| boolcrap | there is no "safe graphics" | 06:51 |
| boolcrap | in recovery | 06:51 |
| okee | I can't get 10.10 to boot. | 06:51 |
| alpha_centauri | Loshki: also tried disabling write cache via hdparm. didn't help. | 06:51 |
| boolcrap | just resume clean dpkg grub netroot root | 06:52 |
| plustax | I did everything it told me to do. I logged out and chose e17 no problems | 06:52 |
| rootx | ubuntu 10.04 is more stable than ubuntu 10.10 | 06:52 |
| plustax | and it lookssss like nothing | 06:52 |
| plustax | haha | 06:52 |
| okee | Now they tell me. Ok. I will burn 10.04. 10.10 shouldn't have even been released. | 06:52 |
| okee | Does 10.04 install to a hard disk? | 06:52 |
| alpha_centauri | Gnea: so your saying they don't do releases? | 06:52 |
| Gnea | plustax: well, clearly the e17 session that you choose didn't load up e17 | 06:52 |
| plustax | right | 06:52 |
| alpha_centauri | Gnea: or snapshots | 06:52 |
| nit-wit | okee, do you get the grub menu, or s this a cd | 06:53 |
| nit-wit | *is | 06:53 |
| plustax | well im a linux moron so I have no chance of undoing what I did and actually successfully installing this Gnea | 06:53 |
| alpha_centauri | so: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null gives me about 85mb/s. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda gives me about 16mb/s. why? (regular hd. from samsung) | 06:53 |
| Gnea | alpha_centauri: they've been working on e17 so long now that it's become rather routine to just snag the latest snapshot and hope for the best... if you update every few days, eventually you get a version that actually works | 06:53 |
| okee | When you say grub menu, are you referring from a hard drive? Or from CD? | 06:53 |
| boolcrap | log says UnloadModule: synaptics" | 06:53 |
| Loshki | alpha_centauri: what model is the drive? | 06:53 |
| boolcrap | Logitech USB optical mouse:close | 06:53 |
| okee | I don't get anything from a hard drive. After installing, it won't boot up for the first time -- big mess. | 06:53 |
| nit-wit | okee, have you installed Ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| alpha_centauri | Gnea: pardon me but that doesn't sound like stable software for me. | 06:54 |
| Gnea | alpha_centauri: and at this stage, it's such a stable dev that it just about passes... but this is the rasterman we're talking about :) | 06:54 |
| alpha_centauri | Loshki: samsung. do you need more info? | 06:54 |
| okee | Actually updating is what causes problems. I run win XP 32-bit pro and have the same installation on my computer for no less than three years. It is a 190gb installation. | 06:54 |
| Gnea | alpha_centauri: I'm not trying to sell you on the idea, I'm just trying to put to rest your claim based on a minute amount of data | 06:55 |
| minixking | i cant even get it to install lol | 06:55 |
| okee | I installed ubuntu no less than 5 times today and the installation program for 10.10 shouldn't have been released. it is an alpha to say the least, and that is no exageration. | 06:55 |
| boolcrap | im trying to chmod 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix but | 06:55 |
| minixking | is 10.10 not a functioning version of ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| nit-wit | okee, so when you installed it I assume you have here was it from the Ubuntu cd booted to a Live Ubuntu Desktop? | 06:55 |
| boolcrap | it just stays at 3777 | 06:55 |
| Gnea | minixking: not as much as 10.04 is | 06:55 |
| okee | I am running ubuntu from CD and works ok. it is the installer that has major issues. | 06:55 |
| chovynz | how do I mount a cd drive at command line? | 06:55 |
| alpha_centauri | Gnea: i wasn't claiming. i was just guessing :-) | 06:55 |
| minixking | gnea; is my problem not common? i mean are there other ppl that cant even get it to go past the wobi install? | 06:56 |
| === RobBeane|Away is now known as RobBeane | ||
| minixking | wubi | 06:56 |
| Gnea | minixking: wubi, TBPH, sucks as far as a permanent install goes. if you like it enough, you should install it to its own partition | 06:56 |
| Lucase | I do not have this problem | 06:56 |
| Loshki | alpha_centauri: yes, output of 'sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda' pasted to http://goo.gl/ixcN9 please | 06:56 |
| Gnea | minixking: also, I have no idea what caused your original error with the .iso file | 06:57 |
| minixking | gnea: i havent even got it to the point where i can try it yet | 06:57 |
| okee | I will try using 10.04 tomorrow. I tried SUSE earlier today and it was a big disappointment. SUSE KDE used to work really well with windows. It locks up and crashes and the wireless connectoid don't work. I suspect gnome would work better on SUSE. | 06:57 |
| minixking | gnea: thats all i wanted to do was try it and i cannot even get that far | 06:57 |
| rootx | @chovynz mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0/ | 06:57 |
| okee | 10.10 seems a bit slow as well. | 06:57 |
| Gnea | minixking: well what method are you using to install it? | 06:57 |
| chovynz | rootx: what does -t iso9660 do? | 06:57 |
| okee | I have a 2.6 ghz processor on here and this is a very robust laptop. | 06:58 |
| chovynz | -t[ype]? | 06:58 |
| minixking | gnea: just as the website says | 06:58 |
| Gnea | okee: single core? how much ram? | 06:58 |
| boolcrap | the problem i guess is taht | 06:58 |
| minixking | gnea: clicking the links they gave me | 06:58 |
| Gnea | minixking: could you please be more specific? | 06:58 |
| boolcrap | is that /tmp/.X11-unix is not 1777 | 06:58 |
| boolcrap | i tried to chmod it but | 06:58 |
| boolcrap | 'it wont go to 1777 wtf :( | 06:58 |
| okee | I have dual core, and 2gb of ram. I haven't gotten around to buying 8gb. I was looking for 8gb stick on one stick or really cheap 2 4gb modules. My laptop holds 16gb. I have a Thinkpad w510. | 06:59 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: did you ls -l it? I didn't see anything. | 06:59 |
| minixking | gnea: wubi, it says click here to install, i do that, it spends well over an hour dl'ing the iso that i already have dl'ed b4 gets to about 15min remaining and shows that error | 06:59 |
| boolcrap | i did stat | 06:59 |
| alpha_centauri | Loshki: i can't since i'm not able to access the machine right now. it's 500gb samsung 7200rpm (i think it's this one: HD502IJ) | 06:59 |
| boolcrap | theres nothing in that folder | 06:59 |
| okee | I bought the laptop with the cheapest memory configuration because buying ram from IBM is twice the price of what you would pay at Fry's or elsewhere. | 06:59 |
| Gnea | minixking: is your windows user account administrator? | 06:59 |
| minixking | gnea: yes | 07:00 |
| Gnea | okee: I would stick with 10.04 for now then, might even try kubuntu if you prefer kde | 07:00 |
| chovynz | rootx: only root can do that. after sudoing it, it says mount point /media/cdrom0/ does not exist | 07:00 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: ah, try: ls -ld on it | 07:01 |
| alpha_centauri | so: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null gives me about 85mb/s. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda gives me about 16mb/s. why? (regular hd. from samsung) | 07:02 |
| boolcrap | drwsrwsrwt 7 root /tmp | 07:02 |
| chovynz | would I mkdir /media/cdrom0 first? | 07:02 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: like this: ld -ld /tmp/.X11_unix | 07:02 |
| chovynz | actually it should work if I just take off teh 0 | 07:03 |
| boolcrap | ld cannot find -ld | 07:03 |
| chovynz | rootx: ok so the removal of zero worked. now it says mount : special device /dev/hdc does not exist | 07:04 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: sorry, should be ls not ld | 07:04 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: ls -l /tmp/.X11_unix | 07:04 |
| boolcrap | ld: cannot find -l/tmp/.X11-unix/ | 07:04 |
| boolcrap | that directory exists | 07:05 |
| dayat | ada orang indonesia | 07:05 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: listen to what I am saying (or read, as the case is): ls -ld /tmp/.X11_unix and paste everything that it outputs, please. | 07:05 |
| boolcrap | sorry :( | 07:06 |
| boolcrap | theres nothing in that folder | 07:06 |
| chovynz | is it possible that I have to install some support for a cdrom before I can mount it? | 07:06 |
| boolcrap | ! | 07:06 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: stop. | 07:06 |
| minixking | gnea: you got the link for the ubuntu 10.10 desktop installation guide, im willing to rtfm | 07:06 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: I'm not asking for what's in that folder, I want to know the output of that command, that's it. | 07:06 |
| boolcrap | drwxrwsrwt 2 root root 4096 date 1:51 /tmp/.X11-unix | 07:07 |
| Gnea | minixking: I would recommend 10.04, not 10.10 for your first install | 07:07 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: thank you. | 07:07 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: what tells you that /tmp/.X11_unix is the problem? | 07:07 |
| boolcrap | when i startx | 07:08 |
| Gnea | why do you startx? | 07:08 |
| minixking | gnea: its not my first *nix install, but if i cannot even get the install to work, i cannot tinker so i cannot fix my errors on my own lol, an install guide for the desktop version would help | 07:08 |
| boolcrap | im trying to get into my desktop | 07:08 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: why don't you login via the gui? | 07:08 |
| boolcrap | i thought thats how u got into it from the shell ;/ | 07:08 |
| boolcrap | it wont let me | 07:08 |
| Gnea | well, that's one way | 07:08 |
| boolcrap | goes straight for tty1 login | 07:08 |
| Gnea | why not? | 07:08 |
| Gnea | I see. | 07:08 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: did you install ubuntu or kubuntu? | 07:09 |
| boolcrap | ubuntu | 07:09 |
| boolcrap | but | 07:09 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: what version? | 07:09 |
| boolcrap | i also tried to install kubuntu | 07:09 |
| boolcrap | sec | 07:09 |
| minixking | gnea: ubuntu will install on an existing winblows partition wont it? | 07:09 |
| minixking | poor guy, doesnt anyone else in here offer help lol | 07:09 |
| boolcrap | crap i dont remember ;/ #70-Ubuntu | 07:09 |
| alpha_centauri | so: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null gives me about 85mb/s. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda gives me about 16mb/s. why? (regular hd. from samsung) | 07:10 |
| boolcrap | 10.4 | 07:10 |
| boolcrap | i think | 07:10 |
| Gnea | minixking: if you use wubi, it will create a virtual filesystem in windows and then install to that file | 07:10 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: lsb_release -r | 07:10 |
| boolcrap | 9.10 | 07:10 |
| Gnea | aah | 07:10 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: did you try to install kubuntu after ubuntu was installed? | 07:11 |
| chovynz | what can list all devices like sda cdrom ide etcetc? | 07:11 |
| boolcrap | sorry i only tried to install kubuntu-desktop | 07:11 |
| boolcrap | not kubuntu os | 07:11 |
| Gnea | chovynz: you mean devices that are mounted? | 07:11 |
| boolcrap | i was using VMWARE | 07:11 |
| boolcrap | and i had to reboot | 07:11 |
| boolcrap | when i came back, i couldnt get into my desktop | 07:11 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: vmware installed in ubuntu? | 07:11 |
| boolcrap | yeah | 07:11 |
| chovynz | gnea not mounted but all possible ones. I have to find out where my ubuntu has put the cdrom/dvd drive | 07:11 |
| chovynz | Gnea: so that i can mount it | 07:12 |
| Gnea | okay, so you you use ubuntu as your host os, then tried to install kubuntu to vmware, right? | 07:12 |
| boolcrap | no i installed windows | 07:12 |
| boolcrap | everything was running fine | 07:12 |
| Gnea | chovynz: well it should already have something defined for it in /etc/fstab | 07:12 |
| boolcrap | sorry i used apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 07:12 |
| boolcrap | to try and get a desktop back | 07:12 |
| minixking | gnea: ok that is what i am trying to do, and wubi will not complete install it stops at that error, i am not changing any default settings other than the pw under the user account in the wubi setup window, i click next it starts the dl of the ubuntu10.10-i386.iso.torrent and gets almost done and quits | 07:12 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: now I'm confused. | 07:12 |
| boolcrap | :(~ | 07:12 |
| boolcrap | that what iw as doing when i had to reboot | 07:13 |
| boolcrap | i had VMWARe open with windows XP on it | 07:13 |
| Gnea | minixking: do you have enough drive space? which version of windows? | 07:13 |
| boolcrap | on ubuntu 9.10 | 07:13 |
| boolcrap | then i rebooted | 07:13 |
| boolcrap | now i cant get into desktop | 07:13 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: slow down please.... I know this is very frustrating, but we need to take things in stride, one thing at a time and not get too ahead, okay? | 07:13 |
| boolcrap | ok | 07:14 |
| boolcrap | one thing at a time | 07:14 |
| Gnea | good :) | 07:14 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: so, your host os is just ubuntu 9.10, correct? | 07:14 |
| boolcrap | correct | 07:14 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: and you installed windows xp in vmware, correct? or vista/7? | 07:14 |
| minixking | gnea: plenty of drive space well over a tb left and windowsXP home+sp3 | 07:14 |
| boolcrap | xp | 07:14 |
| Gnea | xp - good choice | 07:15 |
| boolcrap | xp for life. | 07:15 |
| Gnea | same :) | 07:15 |
| Gnea | okay, so this kubuntu, you installed that in vmware too? | 07:15 |
| boolcrap | no sorry, no kubuntu on vmare | 07:15 |
| Gnea | okay. | 07:15 |
| boolcrap | i did "apt-get install kubuntu-dekstop" | 07:15 |
| Gnea | aaaah | 07:16 |
| boolcrap | to try and get a desktop back | 07:16 |
| alpha_centauri | so: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null gives me about 85mb/s. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda gives me about 16mb/s. why? (regular hd. from samsung) | 07:16 |
| Gnea | alpha_centauri: you should ask that in ##linux | 07:16 |
| VectorX | from gnome how do u run a program as root ? | 07:17 |
| Gnea | minixking: wubi should have the option to use a .iso already downloaded | 07:17 |
| Gnea | VectorX: sudo name_of_program | 07:17 |
| VectorX | Gnea from gnome, not the cli | 07:17 |
| Gnea | VectorX: super-r | 07:17 |
| Gnea | VectorX: should bring up the run command dialog | 07:18 |
| minixking | gnea: im seeing that, rtfm lol | 07:18 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: did the command complete successfully? | 07:18 |
| minixking | havent found the syntax yet just seen that is an option | 07:18 |
| boolcrap | yes | 07:19 |
| boolcrap | it did | 07:19 |
| looser | hai every one i used pitivi video editor for joining of some video files of mine..but after completion of my work the joined video is saved in the format some what called .xptv due to that it is not opening in movie Player..how to convert it to play | 07:19 |
| Gnea | minixking: when you run wubi.exe, make sure you look at the whole thing and look at each option before checking 'next' | 07:19 |
| boolcrap | then it started up | 07:19 |
| boolcrap | and it had the kubuntu desktop loading image, then it just went to tty1 shell | 07:19 |
| boolcrap | then i died a little more inside. | 07:19 |
| chovynz | should I use ssh or ebox? what's the difference? | 07:19 |
| Gnea | looser: better to ask in #pitivi | 07:19 |
| alpha_centauri | looser: i think it should have some kind of export option | 07:20 |
| minixking | gnea: i think it might be a command line syntax no? | 07:20 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: okay, were you able to get back to tty7 or tty8? | 07:20 |
| boolcrap | no | 07:20 |
| boolcrap | just up to 6 | 07:20 |
| looser | alpha_centauri, no there is no such option | 07:21 |
| minixking | boolcrap: update from 9.04 to 9.10 is supported but says nothing about going from 10.04 to 10.10????? | 07:21 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: try 7 and 8 now, if there's something there, you can ctrl-alt-f1 to get back | 07:21 |
| alpha_centauri | looser: how about: render or rendering | 07:22 |
| boolcrap | nope only up to 6, i just tried again | 07:22 |
| Gnea | minixking: what did you select for installation drive, size and desktop environment? | 07:22 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: okay, try this command at tty1: sudo service kdm restart | 07:23 |
| minixking | gnea: 8gig and ubuntu | 07:23 |
| Gnea | minixking: what about the drive? | 07:23 |
| boolcrap | restart:unknown instance | 07:23 |
| minixking | c: | 07:23 |
| looser | alpha_centauri, rendering | 07:23 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: okay, now try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 07:24 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: should give you an option between kdm and gdm | 07:24 |
| boolcrap | ok | 07:24 |
| boolcrap | it does | 07:24 |
| Gnea | boolcrap: pick one | 07:24 |
| alpha_centauri | looser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnJypwN2TCM#t=4m10s | 07:24 |
| boolcrap | i did | 07:24 |
| boolcrap | back to shell | 07:24 |
| Gnea | okay, what did you pick? | 07:24 |
| boolcrap | gdm | 07:25 |
| Gnea | now do: sudo service gdm start | 07:25 |
| boolcrap | start/runinng process 2321 | 07:25 |
| Gnea | and? | 07:25 |
| boolcrap | thats it | 07:25 |
| boolcrap | ;o | 07:25 |

| diddy | Is there a Linux tool? | 08:52 |
| plouffe | I have a OS level issue that prevents mysql user from entering or even seeing a directory owned by user and group mysql. I was told this is a chroot issue. Can anyone help solve this, so I can run mysql again? | 08:53 |

| boa` | hi i was wondering what sound applet ubuntu uses | 08:56 |
| boa` | i use a diff linux distro and liked it | 08:56 |
| rww | !info indicator-sound | boa` | 08:56 |
| ubottu | boa`: indicator-sound (source: indicator-sound): A system sound indicator.. In component main, is extra. Version 0.5.0.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 76 kB, installed size 312 kB | 08:56 |
| boa` | thx | 08:57 |
| rww | boa`: since indicator applets aren't exactly used by a lot of other distros, you likely won't be able to ;( | 08:57 |
| boa` | its not open src? | 08:57 |
| minixking | rww: you know anything about the casper/filesystem.squashfs not working? | 08:57 |
| diddy | How can I make SQL files smaller if phpmyadmin does not allow large imports or times out? Is there a Linux tool? | 08:57 |
| rww | boa`: it is, yes. | 08:57 |
| rww | minixking: no. if I did, I would have answered you. | 08:57 |
| Midnightryder2 | Does anyone have experience with "efax-gtk" that could possibly help me? | 08:58 |
| minixking | rww: sorry didnt know if you seen it or not | 08:58 |
| boa` | hmm pulse audio | 08:58 |
| minixking | if you punch it in, in google you get 13000 hits but no answers yet | 08:58 |
| boa` | i think its in my distro already rww | 08:59 |
| boa` | http://gpo.zugaina.org/gnome-extra/indicator-sound | 08:59 |
| rww | heh, didn't know gentoo had picked it up. cool. | 08:59 |
| boa` | i think its a wip. | 09:01 |
| boa` | theres no files there | 09:01 |
| plouffe | if I do a user switch (su mysql) I am unable to see certain directories, even ones owned by mysql, that other users can see. Any explanations? Could it have to do with chroot? | 09:02 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: maybe apparmor? | 09:04 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, how so? | 09:04 |
| minixking | can someone help me find the solution, ive been surfing the forums so long my eyes hurt | 09:04 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, how can I check it? | 09:04 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: I'm not sure but I've had problems like this that apparmor was involved, I would have to google to find the config for it | 09:05 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, were you unable to start mysql? | 09:05 |
| coz_ | minixking, if no one , at this particular time..can help you can also open the ##linux channel | 09:05 |
| minixking | i am | 09:06 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: no I think it was another application, but I didn't know about apparmor | 09:06 |
| minixking | how do i md5 check my iso | 09:07 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, and you had to fix the apparmor configuration file? That solved it? | 09:07 |
| bazhang | !md5 > minixking | 09:07 |
| ubottu | minixking, please see my private message | 09:07 |
| === brian is now known as Guest40408 | ||
| sacarlson | plouffe: yes, and I just checked this sudo apparmor_status and see mysqld is in it | 09:08 |
| minixking | tnx | 09:08 |
| Guest40408 | hello guys | 09:08 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, do you know if it is possible to just remove mysql from apparmor? | 09:08 |
| doobien | how does one change the gdm theme in lucid? i tried using gdm2setup, but it doesnt seem to work. | 09:09 |
| ylmfos | ... | 09:09 |
| bazhang | !cn | ylmfos | 09:09 |
| ubottu | ylmfos: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk | 09:09 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: I'm sure there is but it's not hard to add the directory you want mysql to use also | 09:09 |
| coz_ | doobien, see if this works on lucid http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/REINSTALL%20LIST | 09:09 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, so apparmor selectively gives access to directories to processes? | 09:10 |
| coz_ | doobien, when that opens at logon it will "look" like you are changing the entire theme,,,but it will only change the gdm theme | 09:10 |
| coz_ | doobien, even though you select a theme as if you were chaning the system theme | 09:11 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: yes, I'm still researching it | 09:11 |
| herve | Good morning | 09:11 |
| shanet | Hey everyone, does anyone know of a good screen recorder? I have tried istanbul desktop session recorder, mythTV and another one (cant remember the name), but they are all absolutely horrid, does anyone have a reliable screen recorder? | 09:11 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, thanks | 09:12 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 09:15 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, since my apparmor profile for mysql seems to be corrupted, do you know if there is a way to reset the profile to installation settings? Complete reinstall didn't fix it. | 09:15 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, yes I am reading it, thanks | 09:15 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: and I have now found this file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld | 09:16 |
| plouffe | ha, the directories I cannot access are commented in there | 09:17 |
| herve | Anyone van help me .......... yesterday i install the SHACKBOX AIR in the installation i my name and new password but it still keep the the default ...... anyone can help me please??? | 09:18 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: so suspect you keep your database files outside of /var/lib/mysql/** rwk, this dir? | 09:18 |
| plouffe | yes, I originally did | 09:19 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: cool just uncomment and restart apparmor | 09:19 |
| plouffe | but after the complete reinstall I changed the datadir back to /var/lib/mysql | 09:19 |
| plouffe | how do I restart apparmor? | 09:19 |
| rww | herve: ShackBox Air is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support from your distribution, not from #ubuntu. | 09:20 |
| plouffe | ok it seems just restarting the processes will apply the apparmor profiles. | 09:21 |
| herve | ok rww thank you annd 73s | 09:21 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: I'm sure reboot will reset it and maybe sudo invoke-rc.d apparmor reload | 09:21 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: ok then your set | 09:22 |
| baron_sengir | easy question for the gurus out there. I'm trying to install ubuntu restricted extras using apt-get in the terminal. it keeps hanging on the eula for the MS fonts. i can't agree to it, and I can't continue passed it to finish the install. is this a common problem? I'm just looking for some help, since I didn't want to install using the software center | 09:23 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, thanks, that solved my problem accessing the directories | 09:23 |

| bazhang | bhavesh, install from partner repo | 09:26 |
| bhavesh | bazhang, then how can I install it? | 09:26 |
| bazhang | !partner | bhavesh | 09:27 |
| ubottu | bhavesh: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 09:27 |

| bhavesh | when I try to do this in terminal >> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 09:30 |
| SwedeMike | bhavesh: oki, you need to write up what you've tried and what you haven't tried and what didn't work and why and how it behaved, pastebin it, and then reference this with your question. This is "more data" and it's needed to help you. | 09:30 |

| TSK | It might be of interest to know how Chrome itself was installed also. If it was installed from a ".bin" file or other similar method, then installing Java the CORRECT way may STILL not work no matter what Herculean efforts are tried. | 09:32 |
| bhavesh | I installed chrome directly from chrome.google.com > download google chrome | 09:32 |
| brontoeee | bhavesh, i'am using chromium | 09:33 |

| brontoeee | rww, i wonder how fancy quotes get there? would that be the bloging software or fancy admin? | 09:40 |
| arunpallisseri | i have installed ubuntu 10. in my system | 09:40 |
| brontoeee | sdrs, sudo nano file.txt | 09:40 |
| rww | brontoeee: blogging software | 09:40 |
| SwedeMike | sdrs: "doesn't work" is a worthless error report, if you don't specify the output from it "doesn't work", nobody can help you. | 09:41 |
| brontoeee | rww, wordpress doesnt do that by default i think | 09:41 |
| rww | brontoeee: or copypasting from microsoft word. but in this case, probably blogging software | 09:41 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: I think when I normaly install stuff I download and compile the default to a dir ~/local or something like that and are kept separate from the packages installed from deb installs | 09:41 |

| TSK | sdrs: Is this a file in a place where you don't normally have "write" access? (System config file in /etc, for example?) | 09:41 |
| brontoeee | rww, right, posibly admin using visual editor , that would do it | 09:41 |
| bhavesh | Why does ubuntu has terminal, I mean commands have to be typed in and then u get the output or a certain task is followed. Dont you guys think everything needs a GUI? | 09:41 |
| snimavat | how do u do that? | 09:42 |
| sdrs | SwedeMike: and the rest when i do nano file.conf it says command not found, or even when i do sudo nano file.conf again it says command not found | 09:42 |
| snimavat | i dont want to compile | 09:42 |
| brontoeee | sdrs, sudo nano ./file.txt | 09:42 |
| SwedeMike | sdrs: then you need to install nano. sudo apt-get install nano | 09:42 |
| snimavat | I download .deb files and now i want to keep it in my home folder | 09:42 |
| TSK | It is not possible for EVERYTHING to have a GUI. Some things simply cannot be done with a GUI. | 09:42 |
| snimavat | under some thing like softwares | 09:42 |
| sdrs | brontoeee: again command not found | 09:43 |
| snimavat | sacarlson ? | 09:43 |
| SwedeMike | bhavesh: ubuntu has a terminal because that's the history it comes from, just like windows also has a terminal. | 09:43 |
| rww | bhavesh: The thing you're doing does have a GUI. It is, however, a lot harder to give instructions in text about doing things in GUI than it is for CLI. | 09:43 |
| arunpallisseri | i have installed ubuntu 10. in my system ,its showing that window manager is not loading properly . please help me | 09:43 |
| brontoeee | sdrs, as SwedeMike said, install nano then | 09:43 |
| jake__ | Hello I need some help | 09:43 |
| rww | bhavesh: especially since 1) people use different GUIs (I'm using KDE. You're probably not.) 2) different versions of Ubuntu put things in different places | 09:43 |
| snimavat | sacarlson: any idea? | 09:43 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: I looked closer at my installed custom and it's /usr/local/* that they end up, it's the normal default that's setup in the compile configs i guess | 09:44 |
| Gnea | !helpme | jake__ | 09:44 |
| ubottu | jake__: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 09:44 |
| bhavesh | ok.... | 09:44 |

| arunpallisseri | couldnt launch windows in ubuntu | 09:46 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: I assume your custom is compiled source from outside ubuntu, each source is a bit different to configure but they seem to be common for the most part. but to be sure you should look at the configs of that source | 09:46 |

| jake__ | Ok VlC didn't work its not letting me play the dvd | 09:49 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: well I guess the easy way is to install from cd and move everything to a new dir so when you add new stuff it will acumulate in the original location | 09:49 |
| brontoeee | snimavat, not sure, but the way its handled in ubuntu, thats probably not possible, at least no easy way | 09:49 |

| brontoeee | greenIT, cpu usage is? | 09:50 |
| kk9822 | no i loaded | 09:50 |
| TSK | jake__: VLC will play DVDs, but your issue is likely that you don't have the libdvdcss2 package installed. That package is required in order to play commercial DVDs on Linux. | 09:50 |
| AndroidGoat | Gnea I did and I asked it more than 3 times | 09:50 |

| aaron11 | Gnea, yeh libreadline-dev | 09:52 |
| kk9822 | the startup of ubuntu | 09:52 |

| sacarlson | snimavat: I'm not sure how complicated that would be to move all /usr/sbin /usr/bin /bin /sbin files to example /usr/sbin.org /usr/bin.org /bin.org /sbin.org and add those to the path so they will work | 09:52 |
| Gnea | aaron11: just install it | 09:52 |

| AndroidGoat | I'm in a text based log in for Ubuntu now. How do I get to graphically?? Anybody? | 09:52 |
| snimavat | sacarlson: dpkg have an option --instdir to specify the install directory, but i am not sure if it would work | 09:52 |
| Gnea | what is a text based log? | 09:52 |
| snimavat | infact it mostly doesnt work | 09:53 |
| devil | film | 09:53 |
| rumpe1 | AndroidGoat, startx | 09:53 |
| snimavat | does that mean, you guyz keep installing every thing in / | 09:53 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: but I guess there are also the libs and database and etc configs, I guess it's much more involved than I realize | 09:53 |
| AndroidGoat | Login * gnea | 09:53 |
| TSK | Gnea: AndroidGoat is logged in on a tty rather than in X. | 09:53 |
| snimavat | every software weather it is from ubuntu or not, u install it in / | 09:53 |
| plouffe | kk9822, have you tried this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting ? | 09:53 |
| Gnea | TSK: oh, he said log, not login. | 09:53 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: cool I didn't know that | 09:53 |
| snimavat | sacarlson: ? | 09:53 |
| brontoeee | sacarlson, + user defined settings that go into /home/user, ect ... | 09:54 |
| TSK | Gnea: Aye. I'ma mindreader. ;) | 09:54 |
| AndroidGoat | How do I get to x | 09:54 |
| jake__ | Oh great ok now my terminal isn't working correctly | 09:54 |
| greenIT | brontoeee, same problem... probably it is cause i watch it through hdmi, but is there a possibility to preload at least a part of the video in vlc or mplayer? | 09:54 |
| Gnea | AndroidGoat: it's ubuntu, X should already be running. | 09:54 |
| kk9822 | no i will | 09:54 |
| kk9822 | thanks | 09:54 |
| AndroidGoat | Its text tho. Danforth. I only needed 1 thing... | 09:54 |
| Victor__ | I have an ubuntu administration problem with cryptdisks/cryptsetup: I have a regular Ubuntu 10.10 setup with an encrypted partition /dev/sda1, I added this partition to /etc/crypttab but Ubuntu does not ask for the password at boot time, what am I doing wrong? | 09:55 |
| rumpe1 | AndroidGoat, try strg-alt-Fx with x from 4 to 8 ... otherwise enter "startx" | 09:55 |
| brontoeee | greenIT, they both have some sort of prebufering, if that is your question? you can specify buffer in mplayer command line, but it wont help | 09:55 |
| Gnea | AndroidGoat: then you need to learn how to communicate properly instead of assuming that anyone knows what you're talking about. | 09:55 |
| AndroidGoat | Can't connection to x server. Well isn't that unfortunate | 09:55 |
| ikonia | AndroidGoat: stop now | 09:55 |
| ikonia | AndroidGoat: explain your problem clearly | 09:55 |
| manas | hi everbody | 09:55 |
| ikonia | AndroidGoat: are you running ubuntu desktop ? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | (as in the desktop install) | 09:55 |
| greenIT | brontoeee, probably it would, because i play the video from a hd, which isn't the fastest^^ | 09:56 |
| brontoeee | greenIT, so there are certain videos you have that play smoothly? | 09:56 |
| === StarSky is now known as Lucase | ||
| greenIT | yeah, but they are all less than 1080p, the ones with fullhd are all jiggling | 09:57 |

| AndroidGoat | Okay. But beware I am typing this from an android device. Okay well I turned off Ubuntu hard during an upgrade since I was goin to install wubi with a much larger amount of space. But when I got to the windows side whenever I tried to get to the advanced download list it redirected me to something else. I tried to get back Ito Ubuntu by got stuck at the boot splash. Then I ran dpkg in recovery mode then reboot. Now I'm in a tx | 09:59 |
| ikonia | manas: ahh, ok what platform are you running it on ? | 09:59 |
| kanupatar | when i tried to emulate an arm machine(by giving a am cross compiled image) in ubuntu 9.10 QEMU ,am getting this error..please help me..ths is urgent... | 09:59 |
| kanupatar | qemu-system-arm: command not found | 09:59 |
| jake__ | Ok thank you so much! Um is there any other ways i can get ubuntu on a netbook that doesn't have internet right now and doesn't have a disk frive? | 10:00 |
| jake__ | drive* | 10:00 |
| ikonia | AndroidGoat: it sounds a mess, I would re-install, as quitting mid upgrade will break it | 10:00 |
| === fx is now known as Guest8543 | ||
| ikonia | kanupatar: install that package | 10:00 |
| manas | intel x86 | 10:00 |
| ikonia | manas: ok, what's the error ? | 10:00 |
| kanupatar | anylink? | 10:01 |
| AndroidGoat | I want to reinstall with wubi 10.10 but I can't get the stand alone without it redirecting me | 10:01 |
| manas | in the nc the instance kernel size is showing empty | 10:01 |
| AndroidGoat | Maybe if someone sends me the links to the advanced download page it would work. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | AndroidGoat: where is it redirecting you ? | 10:02 |
| AndroidGoat | Ikonia hold on I will switch to an irc not on my phone | 10:03 |
| ikonia | manas: that's odd, I've never seen that | 10:03 |
| Gnea | AndroidGoat: by 'advanced download' do you mean the page where you can select different iso files? | 10:03 |
| jake__ | Is there any way to get the ubuntu 10.10 on a netbook that doesn't have a disc drive or right at this moment no internet as well? | 10:03 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: maybe the dpkg --root=dir option? | 10:03 |
| snimavat | May be, not sure | 10:04 |
| snimavat | how about --instdir ? | 10:04 |
| AndroidGoat | Gnea I think so its a page that has a whole list of downloads its like black and white from my recollection. Hold on | 10:04 |
| FloatingGoat | okay i am android goat | 10:05 |

| FloatingGoat | "enhanced download page" gnea | 10:06 |
| frederik64 | #quakenet | 10:06 |
| Cornelius | ikona i need the programs to run at startup. im adding them to rc.local and i have to use & for that | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: no you don't | 10:06 |
| manas | it is in test purpose . so we have 3 machines including clc. | 10:06 |
| Cornelius | so i can remove the &'s? and itll boot them all ok? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | manas: ok, so you do have a distributed node set | 10:07 |
| manas | yes | 10:07 |
| sacarlson | snimavat: i looked at --instdir but seems --root has presidence over that, try a single deb file with both and see, if it seems to do what you want then maybe make a symlink to a modified dpkg script that adds the --root or --install on every install after that | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: no, you put graphical apps in your session startup not rc.local | 10:07 |
| Gnea | FloatingGoat: yup, that's the one | 10:07 |
| kanupatar | qemu-system-arm: command not found | 10:07 |
| ikonia | manas: your setup is sane, I don't know why the kernel whould show as 0 | 10:07 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: yes, install it | 10:08 |
| FloatingGoat | gnea can you send the URL to that page in this chat? maybe if i go directly to the URL i wont get redirected | 10:08 |
| ikonia | FloatingGoat: where are you getting redirected to | 10:08 |
| kanupatar | how to install that? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | kanupatar: open the package manager, search for qemu and look for it | 10:08 |

| Cornelius | ikonia im not familiar with "session startup", where can i find more info on it | 10:09 |
| manas | is it error between walrus and NC | 10:09 |
| gusg | ikonia: if you'd elaborate, it would be helpful | 10:09 |

| agruman | how do i verify that my hw (mb & drive) supports NCQ & Trim? (and check if they are enabled?) | 10:10 |
| ikonia | agruman: read the manuals | 10:10 |
| Gnea | FloatingGoat: cheers | 10:10 |
| ikonia | agruman: contact the vendors | 10:10 |
| remoteCTRL2 | gusg do that as a last ressort... | 10:10 |
| ikonia | gusg: or don't do it at all | 10:11 |
| gusg | they're closed source drivers. I don't know how else to do it | 10:11 |
| ikonia | gusg: what are they for ? | 10:11 |
| gusg | ikonia: NI DAQ (Data acquisition) board | 10:11 |
| ikonia | gusg: I'd contact the makers and ask them to make it available in a binary format or in a dpkg format | 10:12 |
| FloatingGoat | thanks again it's working! i didnt know there was a stand alone wubi 10.10! thanks for the help | 10:12 |
| agruman | ikonia, ok ... should i contact the vendor to see if its enabled!? I would have guessed that linux would be able to show that using a cmd like lshw or something | 10:12 |
| Gnea | FloatingGoat: no problem, good luck | 10:12 |
| ikonia | agruman: that's not what you asked, you asked to see if it supports it, not if it's enabled, ask a question clearly | 10:12 |
| Cornelius | ikonia, its my understanding that the session startup only runs after someone logs in, i need root to start them just after booting up. i think ive explored the session startup option | 10:12 |
| TSK | Okay. After reading snimavat's question thread, I think it might be a good idea to point something out here for the folks who don't understand. You should ALWAYS try to install software on Ubuntu using the package manager. Do NOT just download software from random websites and try to install it like you would under Windows or Mac OS. Linux does things differently. ALWAYS try to find the software you are seeking in the package manager | 10:13 |
| TSK | FIRST, and if it's not there, then try to find a TRUSTWORTHY package source to add to the package manager. Installing from source code or from a random package should be a LAST RESORT. | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | agruman: last i read up on 'ncq' it was basically dident give much (if any) benifit if it was enabled.. Not heard about NCQ in the various blogs/benchmark blogs, in ages. | 10:13 |
| manas | is it problem between walrus and NC | 10:13 |
| altin | Hi all | 10:13 |
| agruman | ikonia, well i asked both actually, but ok, il rephrase, how do i check if NCQ and TRIM are enabled? | 10:13 |
| altin | can someone tell ... does UBUNTU have a FIREWALL ?????? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: that makes no sense, gedit won't start until after someones logged in and a desktop is running, so in that case sesison manager is fine | 10:13 |
| TSK | altin: Yes | 10:13 |
| ikonia | agruman: for ncq you normally need a tool from the disk vendor | 10:14 |
| altin | TSK, I cant find it :S | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | agruman: NCQ - from the libata faq --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144858 | 10:14 |
| altin | its not even in System > Administration :/ ??? TSK | 10:14 |
| ikonia | agruman: you may be able to see it in hdparm | 10:14 |
| Cornelius | ikonia, gedit was an example. i actually need it for a few peices of software | 10:14 |
| TSK | altin: Linux in general has a firewall built into the Kernel. It's called iptables. What you are likely looking for is a GUI interface to manage your firewall rules? | 10:14 |
| Cornelius | *custom peices of software | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | If NCQ is enabled for your drive, it will be printed in dmesg after the lba48 flag, such as: | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: ok, ANY X11 software will only run after someone logs in, so the point is still valid | 10:15 |
| manas | ikonia: how to troubleshoot it | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 488281250 sectors lba48 ncq | 10:15 |
| agruman | Dr_Willis, thanks alot, very helpful! :) | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: are you sure that shows if it is enabled, I thought that was just showing it was capable | 10:15 |
| === Silanus is now known as silanus_ | ||
| Dr_Willis | ikonia: no idea. last i looked into ncq - it basically was a 'big deal' about Nothing... | 10:15 |
| TSK | altin: The firewall in Ubuntu is called ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall), and there is a GUI for it called gufw which can be installed from the software center (package manager). | 10:15 |
| sacarlson | altin: do you mean from default? there are programs to setup firewalls like firestarter | 10:15 |
| agruman | ikonia, both (0/32) disabled, (31/32) enabled | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | the NCQ posts i am finding are also rather old. 2yrs old in some cases. | 10:16 |
| ikonia | !ufw | altin | 10:16 |
| ubottu | altin: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 10:16 |
| LoneShadow | Hi, would it make sense to have a second HDD formatted with btrfs and use it for nfs storage and backups? My / and /home are ext4 | 10:16 |
| === silanus_ is now known as Silanus | ||
| ikonia | LoneShadow: not really no, not in my opijion | 10:16 |
| altin | TSK, ok the reason is that I have some open ports that I found with nmap but even ufw doesnt close them ikonia | 10:16 |
| agruman | ikonia, thanks for the hint of hdparm, will read up on that | 10:16 |
| ikonia | altin: it will if you configure it to | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_FAQ#Enabling.2C_disabling_and_checking_NCQ | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Enabling NCQ, if supported, is the same: | 10:17 |
| altin | I used sudo ufw deny (port) | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | $ echo 31 > /sys/block/sdX/device/queue_depth | 10:17 |
| altin | ikonia, I used sudo ufw deny (port) ? | 10:17 |
| LoneShadow | ikonia: I want to use my second hdd mainly for backups for both linux and windows data. So you think its better to use it as ext4 and install some sort of backup software to manage it? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | altin: so ? | 10:17 |
| TSK | altin: You may want to try scanning using "Shields Up" at http://www.grc.com/ before you start messing too much with the firewall locally. | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux NCQ (SATA native command queueing) support is enabled automatically, if your SATA drive supports it. At boot, you will see a line in dmesg (or kernel log) like | 10:18 |
| altin | when I scan with nmap it shows that its open again :/ ikonia | 10:18 |
| ikonia | LoneShadow: I think it will be better to use a filesystem that both linux and windows can use, eg; fat32, or partition it into 2 partitions, one for linux backup ext4 and one for windows backup, ntfs | 10:18 |
| ikonia | altin: what nmap command are you using ? | 10:18 |
| TSK | Scanning a local machine with nmap will only show what other machines on your local network can see. If you want to know what ports are open to the OUTSIDE world, you have to scan FROM outside. | 10:18 |
| brontoeee | ikonia, any problems with ntfs and ubuntu this days? (not for linux backups, just for files) | 10:19 |
| MagicJ | does anyone know of a version of the game collapse for ubuntu - it would seem that it must exist but I can't find it | 10:19 |
| sacarlson | altin: in most cases I just close the application that I don't want to listen, sudo netstat -pant to isolate the application to the port | 10:19 |
| * jmad980 still doesn't trust linux + ntfs | 10:19 | |
| jmad980 | tho it is functional @ brontoeee | 10:19 |
| Cornelius | ikonia, well i have x11vnc and a teamspeak3 server that needs to run as root after boot. without a login, how do you prepose i run those? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: I wouldn't do it | 10:19 |
| altin | I also used Zenmap | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Cornelius: teamspeak server has a GUI for X? or is it an actual 'service' ? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: they are not X11 apps | 10:20 |
| TSK | I'm using NTFS on my 2TB external USB drive for over a year now without issue (using NTFS3G). | 10:20 |
| altin | anyway how can I close the ports ? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: the examples you gave are X11 apps, those are not | 10:20 |
| LoneShadow | ikonia: Why NTFS for windows, I could export the ext4 partition using samba right? | 10:20 |
| === Silanus is now known as silanus | ||
| brontoeee | ikonia, i have constanly files that are bigger than 4 gigs, and i need to share the usb disks with windows and macs, how to solve that then perfectly? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | LoneShadow: sure, I as assuming from how you explained windows and ubuntu where on the same machine in a dual boot, not windows clients on the network | 10:21 |
| sacarlson | altin: close or killall the application? | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis | samba shouldent care what FS its 'shareing' but shareing NTFS can be a bit tricky at times. | 10:21 |
| Cornelius | ikonia, im aware of that, sorry i gave bad examples! do you have any suggestions as to how i can run them, and kill one without them both dying? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: you don't use & as I told you | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis | brontoeee: id use ntfs then. | 10:21 |
| brontoeee | Dr_Willis, right | 10:21 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: I'd use two partitions with native file systems for each OS | 10:21 |
| LoneShadow | ikonia: Sorry, missed that part, only my laptops are running Windows. I guess I will format this as ext4 on the linux server :) | 10:21 |
| ikonia | LoneShadow: that makes sense | 10:21 |
| Cornelius | ikonia, yes thanks you've said that already. It still doesnt point me in the right direction | 10:22 |
| FloatingGoat | was 8.10 a bad version of ubuntu? | 10:22 |
| SwedeMike | FloatingGoat: no, why? | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | !8.10 | 10:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Cornelius: it doesn't as the & problem was for X11 apps, if you're not running X11 apps, you can just put them in rc.local | 10:22 |
| Cornelius | ok, now i understand. thanks ikonia | 10:23 |
| FloatingGoat | SwedeMike: it was my favorite | 10:23 |
| brontoeee | another q, regarding wd usb stuff, is it possible to get rid of wd smardware with ubuntu box? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: when you format it, it will go | 10:23 |
| brontoeee | ikonia, nope, survives every type of destruction i tryed | 10:24 |
| TSK | brontoeee: I removed that partition from my drive entirely after I copied it to a CD. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: delete the partition and re-create | 10:24 |
| brontoeee | TSK, how? | 10:24 |
| brontoeee | ikonia, thats what i did | 10:25 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: I doubt it | 10:25 |
| TSK | brontoeee: The Smartware is a partition on the drive. You need to use a partition editor tool to remove it. (Be EXTREMELY careful with such tools.) | 10:25 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: the software is held on the partition, if you remove it, it will be gone | 10:25 |
| TSK | The partition is formatted such that it appears to the system as if it were a CD, so that it will autorun when the drive is connected to a Windows machine. | 10:26 |
| brontoeee | i used gparted to do that and osx tools do try the same, still it persist somehow... | 10:26 |
| brontoeee | well, offtopic, doesnt matter really, just an annoyance | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder if one could take a ubuntu iso and make a similer 'rescue' partition... | 10:27 |
| TSK | Dr_Willis: Hmmm... That's actually a really EXCELLENT idea... I might have to give that a try... | 10:27 |
| brontoeee | Dr_Willis, i'd say this is wd hardware specific, hd drive bios specific even | 10:28 |
| LoneShadow | ikonia: If you were to use a new 2nd HDD for backups, would you use it as complete primary partition + ext4, OR use LVM, Extended Partitions,..? | 10:28 |
| brontoeee | i mean the non-destructible partition | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | i can set up GRUB2 to boot ISO files.. but thats not quite the same. :) | 10:29 |

| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: I tried to get grub2 to boot an iso and failed, did you ever get that to work? | 10:30 |
| TSK | brontoeee: http://www.marccizravi.com/2010/remove-wd-smartware/ | 10:31 |
| usuario | almeria | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: yes. it was rather trivial once you learned the basics, :) and that every disrto seems to have its own *#&*&!&@# options needed with non-standard naming of various variables. | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: check http://delicious.com/dr_willis under my grub/grub2 tags. | 10:32 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: cool I"ll take a look, thanks | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: once you get one going.. i made a 8gb flash drive tha tcould boot like 8 differnt iso's | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: another trick - you can keep the ISO files on a ntfs, or other partition. and have a 'emergancy rescue/live cd' option in your grub menus on a normal install. | 10:34 |
| ayaka | Does ubuntu have nvidia non-free package ,is it's nvidia-current?it's not the lastest | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ayaka: ubuntu is often 'not the latest' in most everything. Its usiong a 6 mo release cycle. | 10:34 |
| amit | i have an ip adress of my friend and i want to connect with remote desktop viewer.how to use remote desktop viewer.help me or give any link where can i study about this. | 10:34 |
| TSK | brontoeee: On the Smartware partition itself is a tool called "Virtual CD Manager.exe". | 10:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ayaka: so if nvidia came out with new drivers in the last 6 mo. they are most likely not in the repos. | 10:35 |

| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 10:43 |

| matte | how can i give file executeble rights, file on CD | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | matte: you dont normally. If its a windows executable. you can do a 'wine /media/cdrom/whatver.exe' as a quick qwork around | 11:07 |
| matte | thx | 11:07 |
| n00p3 | Dr_Willis: i tried it with RAID-Controller disabled in BIOS but then the SETUP doesn't find any HDD'S and ask for the right driver | 11:07 |

| abcd99 | hey does anyone know what keeps closing my fullscreen mode in firefox flash player (when i watch smth at example .. youtube)? it keeps switching to window mode after dam like 10-30 secs after i set fullscreen... i cant live with it what to do? | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | yea.. closed source.. NEVER does that alteregoa ..... | 11:13 |
| ayaka | Dr_Willis, what is the mo,I see nvidia-current in 180,but now is 258 | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | abcd99: used to be just clicking outside the fullscreen window would unfullscreen it. so anything geting the focus from the player would unfullscreen it. | 11:13 |
| MariaKeys | I am trying to sort syslog by date: "Aug 09 11:00:06.138 security". Any help with sort command? | 11:14 |

| === webpigeon is now known as Guest45671 | ||
| n00p3 | Dr_Willis: ok, i try it .. thx | 11:15 |
| abcd99 | Dr_Willis: is there any way to make that option off? i mean how to get rid of it... i dont know what is getting focus from flash player... | 11:15 |
| ayaka | Dr_Willis, the non-free drivers version number | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | abcd99: no idea. I tend to watch in a little window at the top of the screen always 'on top' | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | abcd99: i was thinking that was 'fixed' in some new flash versions. but never tried it. | 11:15 |
| Rowen | I've got a youtube full screne issue as well, but it's a bit more complex, I'm currently running a dual monitor set up so both run a seprate X server and xinerama enabled so I can move windows from one to another. YT will go full screen on both no problem but it goes in wide mode or so and looks like a funky widescreen | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Err.. using Xinerama - both are not running a seperate X server.. unless you got some fancy tricjks going on. :) | 11:16 |
| abcd99 | Dr_Willis:im using adobe's 64bit square preview ver. so maybe its because of it... dam | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I use 2 monitors - with twinview. I can fullscreen on monitor #2. but if i click on #1. it would unmax. but ive not tried it lately. | 11:17 |
| Rowen | oh sorry, seprate X screen | 11:17 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: this link you gave me worked to boot from a grub2 entry added to boot iso files, not sure what I did wrong before http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 thanks again | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: they make the task way harder then it should be. :) they need to get togetyher and standarize the options. Every disrto seems to need different options for that to work. | 11:18 |
| Rowen | This is not my system exactly though :T It's a friends system that he recently asked me to and I quote"Install something other than windows on." so I installed Ubuntu, and he likes it so far, but this issue with YT in fullscreen is annoying him | 11:19 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: ya I guess the method I tried was not for ubuntu so it failed, this gave about 4 examples that showed differences in each distro | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Rowen: its basically a flash issue from adobe... | 11:19 |
| Rowen | Ah | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: ive done a dozen disrtos.. each with differnt options. | 11:19 |
| === Otacon22_ is now known as Otacon22 | ||
| Rowen | Alright, thanks Dr_Willis I told my friend about it, he doesn't fully understand but thank you anyways. | 11:23 |
| edwardteach | Rowen, if he is using firefox there is a addon to use an alternate flash player, i use it to get rid of those adverts ! | 11:23 |
| h-dee | Dr_Willis: I just read you mentioning twinview. Actually, yesterday I tried connecting my lappy to my lcd tv through HDMI, but it showed some part on my lappy display, and remaining part of the same screen on the lcd. Would twin-view help in that situation. I don't have an external graphics card accelerator on my lappy. | 11:23 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: my goal was to just install without a usb flash or cd and this should do that, I guess one last problem it might not install on the same disk? I've had that problem also since you can't do partition manipulation on the same disk you boot from, you have a solution for that? or will this work? | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Rowen: 'its adobes fault' :) | 11:23 |
| Rowen | edwardteach, I jsut use AdBlock plus for those adds :P | 11:23 |
| Lucase | Wubi installer; Sacarlson | 11:23 |
| Rowen | hehe | 11:23 |
| sacarlson | Lucase: I don't have windows | 11:23 |
| Rowen | I've never had the problem because I only use one monitor, with the multi desktops on one screen thing, I felt no need for dual monitor anymore | 11:24 |
| edwardteach | Rowen, its called flashvideoreplacer | 11:24 |
| sacarlson | Lucase: I have an old version of ubuntu and wanted to install another version on another partition | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: i set up a 'rescue' partition, i kept the iso's on (on a hd) then i setup grub2 and the files on that partition. the pc could then boot any of the iso files. (about 10gb in size) - i left the rest of the HD unallocated. I could boot the rescue partition. then boot an iso/install to the rest of the HD. | 11:24 |
| thomc | is it possible to network two ubuntu machines connected to a wireless router if one is connected wirelessly and the other uses a wired connection? | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: or simile thing with a flash, or a 2nd hard drive. | 11:24 |
| === owner is now known as sinzuelos | ||
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: like I said the iso live boot is booting fine, but the next problem is to do the install from this boot | 11:25 |
| Lucase | Thomc, yes why not ? | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: you install to a differnt drive, or alrleady partitioned location. You dont resize where they are at during the install. | 11:25 |
| thomc | Lucase, i just wondered if them being connected differently made a difference. guess not. | 11:26 |
| Rowen | edwardteach, whould it let it display dualmonitors properly in full screen | 11:26 |
| Lucase | thomc, it wont affect anything :) | 11:26 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: ya that might work, maybe if the partitions are already there, I'll try it | 11:26 |
| thomc | Lucase, great. is nfs the recommended way of sharing files between linux machines? | 11:26 |
| edwardteach | Rowen, i dont know but it maybe worth a shot! | 11:27 |
| apparle | is there any shortcut to toggle the menubar of any app.... particularly firefox | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: the trick is you CANT resize the partition you booted from - during the isntaller.. | 11:27 |
| Lucase | thomc, the recomended way to share files will be on the Program list in ubuntu software packages | 11:27 |
| besogon | thomc: Of course NFS is not recommended way for connecting 2 machines | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: after i get an install going. I set up my iso files on /boot/ or some other HD. and set grub to boot them from my installed system. as a 'failsafe' | 11:28 |
| Rowen | Ok, well.. .some how my friends wired mouse died... So I'll give it a shot the moment the mouse wants to work again.. | 11:28 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: for now I'll live with just adding another disk drive, I found some old laptop drives that I have a converter for to plug in so problem solved | 11:28 |
| thomc | besogon, ok. is there a recommended way? i'm new to this. | 11:28 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: Not true, as long as you use the toram option :) | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. I use NFS to share stuff btween 2 machines all the time.. what else is it supposed to be used for. :) | 11:28 |
| besogon | thomc: you can use Samba or ssh | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | its all in the details of what you are doing i guess. | 11:29 |
| thomc | besogon, ok thanks | 11:29 |
| Jordan_U | sacarlson: If you pass "toram" as a kernel parameter, and you have enough RAM (> 1 GiB), the complete iso will be loaded into RAM so that the partition it was loaded from can be unmounted. | 11:29 |
| besogon | Dr_Willis: NFS is not convenient way I suppose even thou it is the fastest one | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: watch out for swap partitions also. the live cd's often see/use them automatically | 11:30 |
| sacarlson | Jordan_U: no this system has 512meg, but I'll keep that in mind | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | besogon: depends on what your convience is.. :) | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had less hassles setting up NFS in the past then fighting samba in a mixed network. :) | 11:30 |
| besogon | Dr_Willis: For me it's using Nautilus and Win clients if possible | 11:31 |
| shubbar | is there a way to see all packages installed by a specific user? | 11:31 |
| Jordan_U | sacarlson: The option for that is to use the minimal install iso, it loads everything into RAM (it's just a kernel and initramfs) but it's small enough that 512 MiB is more than enough. | 11:31 |
| raviepic3 | hello people, i am facing the legacy dual boot problem, installed windows after linux and my linux boot option aint visible, so i loaded into live disc and did this | sudo -s, grub, find /boot/grub/stage1, root (hd0,6), setup (hd0,6), quit, reboot | kindly replace , with enter. after setup it finally asid done but when i restart it default boots into windows | 11:31 |
| raviepic3 | how do i proceed ? | 11:31 |
| Jordan_U | raviepic3: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 11:32 |
| raviepic3 | 9.04 | 11:32 |
| Lucase | Raviepic3, do you have windows on the first os ? | 11:32 |
| fu | anig | 11:32 |
| raviepic3 | Jordan_U, ^ | 11:32 |
| fu | hi | 11:32 |
| fu | what r u doing | 11:32 |
| raviepic3 | Lucase, on the first os ! ? how do i see that ? | 11:32 |
| Lucase | raviepic3, I mean , do you use windows | 11:33 |
| fu | ........... | 11:33 |
| raviepic3 | Lucase, i already a working copy of windows and ubuntu on same machine, windows got corrupted so reinstalled, and now this proble, | 11:33 |
| raviepic3 | Lucase, yes i use windows | 11:33 |
| Jordan_U | raviepic3: 9.04 is no longer supported, you should upgrade as soon as possible. As for GRUB, the problem is that you tried to install to a partition rather than the mbr. Either "setup (hd0)" or don't use the grub shell at all and use "grub-install --root-directory=/mountpoint /dev/sda" | 11:34 |
| Lucase | raviepic3, yes try to get the new ubuntu version on your cd, or just go with Wubi | 11:34 |
| Tornado-Mint | Hello! Please i need help with my new external monitor: I have connected it through my Linux Mint 9 but it is displaying everything with this kind of "wavy" improper output. I tried it on the same laptop but different OS, it is working perfectly, any suggestions please? I tried AandR but not much i can do there. Please any help is highly appreciated. | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Tornado-Mint: mint has its own support channels. | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !mint | 11:35 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 11:35 |
| raviepic3 | Jordan_U, you mean i shoul dhave setup (hd0) instead of setup (hd0,6) ? | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like your refresh rate is wrong. | 11:35 |
| Jordan_U | raviepic3: Yes. | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | raviepic3: hd0 = the mbr of the hd. hd0,6 = mbr (of the partition) | 11:36 |
| raviepic3 | ok will try and return back here thank you | 11:36 |
| Rowen | Awesome, I found a flash plugin that fixed my issue. | 11:40 |
| Rowen | I uninstalled the Adobe plugin and installed Gnash SWF Viewer | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | im suprise gnash works at all. :) | 11:41 |
| Rowen | Bit of lag when first loading the YT page but then it runs fine | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | You do realize that Youtube can use html5 for video playback for most videos and not need Flash at all? | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | at least with the right browser. :) Chrome/chromium | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | http://youtube.com/html5 | 11:42 |
| Rowen | meh | 11:43 |
| Rowen | IT's not my system :) | 11:43 |
| Rowen | my friends | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | so? | 11:43 |
| Rowen | what ever works, he's ok with | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | except gnash may not work at some OTHER flash sites.. | 11:43 |
| lapion | using html5 video means less load and a more stable system | 11:43 |
| sharkk | hi, do someone knows a way to get a list of installed packages sorted chronologically? thanks | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | sharkk: not sure there is a way to do that. | 11:44 |
| Rowen | Not sure why you whould do that. | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sharkk: i think the software center is supposed to get some features like that some time.. but not sure if its in there yet. | 11:44 |
| sharkk | just toknow which pkgs i installed yesterday, because i forgot... | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sharkk: what tool did you isntall them with? | 11:45 |
| sharkk | there is no log of apt-get activity? | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | some may keep logs. | 11:45 |
| lapion | sharkk, ubuintu software center has a history thingy check it out | 11:45 |
| sharkk | kpackage | 11:45 |
| brontoeee | lapion, Dr_Willis for a video producer html5 is pain currently, example: chromium on ubuntu reports that it can play h.264 when it actually cant without certain nonfree install, so in any case you need to prepare multiple files..., but yes it might kill flash for video part in some years to come | 11:45 |
| === oCean_ is now known as oCean | ||
| oCean | sharkk: there is also the /var/log/apt/history.log logfile you can check | 11:46 |
| Rowen | Also, Dr_Willis: My friend is used to Firefox, I don't think he will use Chrome... | 11:46 |
| Dr_Willis | his loss. | 11:46 |
| brontoeee | lapion, Dr_Willis so basically html5 is a rich-man domain currently, which is exactly the opposite on what the producers would expect..., google will not support h.264, apple will probably not support webm and so on... | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I use both. :) often at the same time. | 11:47 |
| sharkk | ok, i solve it: cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep 'install ' thanks to you anyway | 11:47 |
| Rowen | Bleh, I'm just not in the mood... I've been working on this beast for 3 days now... | 11:48 |
| LoneShadow | Hi, I need to disable ohci_hcd driver from loading onto "0000:00:04.0" device, can someone tell me how to disable this during bootup? | 11:48 |
| Rowen | because a ton of issues because of dual monitors came at once and had to reinstall 3 seprate times for 3 seprate issues | 11:49 |
| Rowen | so it was easier to jsut reinstall than fix because there was nothing installed | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | rarely had any issues with Twinview on my 2 monitor setup. | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | it pays to learn how to fix things. :) | 11:49 |
| Rowen | Well twinview didn't work how we wanted it, when a program went fullscreen it took both monitors | 11:50 |
| edwardteach | Rowen, how did you fix it ? | 11:51 |
| lapion | rowen are you using compiz ? | 11:51 |
| Rowen | I uninstalled the Adobe plugin and installed Gnash SWF Viewer | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Rowen: you dident have twinview setup then,. You were using Xinerama | 11:51 |
| Rowen | and no | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | boot system -> install nvidia drivers -> reboot -> run nvidia config app. -> enable twinview NOT xinerama -> restart X server.. should work/fullscreen to each monitor seperately | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ifyou just use 'apply' and DONT resart the X server after enabling twinview - You can have issues. | 11:52 |
| Frappuccino | how do i 'rename using perlexpr' for files, file01 file03 file05 to file01 file02 file03 | 11:53 |
| edwardteach | Dr_Willis, can you use twin view just as well as xinerama ? | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | edwardteach: twinview Superceded xinerama. you dont use both. :) | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | twinviwew = Xinerama+extrastuff | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ati has a similer thing I recall. | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | time for some f00d >:) Brb | 11:55 |
| Rowen | Dr_Willis, is there a way to jsut restart xserver with out loging in and out? or no? | 11:56 |

| |muse| | and while Im here how do you turn off join/disconnect messages in empathy like I used to in pidgin? | 12:01 |
| Guest68964 | magellan, Firefox has a Sync add-on that syncs bookmarks acorss multpial machines | 12:02 |
| brontoeee | magellan, Guest68964 yes, i guess two different logins would do, so basically make a user for your old bookmarks and your new ones and sync plugin should get you started | 12:03 |

| magellan | Guest68964, thanks- by the way i want to accomplish somewhat like this i have my firefox old bookmark and again i create a new firefox bookmark backup again. so it is two deffirent files backup which i want to merge..is firefox sync extension you mention will do the tricks | 12:07 |
| DhaniJeremy | Dr_Willis: there are so many packages, do i need to install all of them? | 12:07 |

| Rowen_Stipe | Well Dr_Willis, I chould have left my set up alone and have the same results as the twin view | 12:07 |

| sandking | hey | 12:08 |
| sandking | i got dual boot with windows and i was wondering if it's possible to make "restart into windows" command ? | 12:08 |
| Rowen_Stipe | Meh, it's working now... my friend like it. and I get to slap him in about 30 minutes if he doesn't wake up | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking: its possible. but may take some work. | 12:09 |
| Rowen_Stipe | GRUB should let you choose your OS when dual booting | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | grub has options to 'set the default' via command line, so you could some how use that featurem, then reboot.. and it would go to the default. | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | but then it would stay at windows as the default untill you set it differntly | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | it also has a saved-default option where it rembers the last os you selected. and that is the new defauilt | 12:10 |
| Rowen_Stipe | Maybe have a script that runs on login and checks what the default is, and if it's not ubuntu it sets it to ubuntu | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | yep. thats always possible. | 12:11 |
| sandking | too complicated :/ | 12:12 |

| MangledBody | Hi folks! | 12:19 |
| LoneShadow | wmorri: I tried that, didn't help, probably because ohci_hcd is not a module, its kernel built in | 12:19 |
| MangledBody | This is little OT, but... Does anybody have download link (working) for cdproboot-0.2.iso ?? | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | LoneShadow: there might be some kenel boot options to disable it. | 12:20 |
| LoneShadow | I am tring to see if there is something similar to nousb grub option | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | MangledBody: check torrent sites perhaps. | 12:20 |
| magellan | may i ask command how to mount with users permission not root a ext4 partition | 12:20 |
| magellan | i mean manually not in fstab | 12:20 |
| LoneShadow | Dr_Willis: Yes, but not finding it yet, know any global list of kernel options webpage? | 12:20 |
| MangledBody | Dr_Willis: No... Pirate bay has no clue about it and the others too... | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | magellan: you dont just 'override' a linux flesystems permissions with mount options. | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | magellan: this is a usb drive you are moveing around machines? or what exactly? | 12:21 |

| magellan | because if i use the point and click i think its root permission.and i cant copy or move a files to that partition | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | magellan: you can set up fstab to allow a user to Mount a partition. but that will NOT give the user full access to the ext2/3/4 partition. the normal linux ownership/permissions will still apply to the files on the partition. | 12:23 |

| mudit1141 | geirha , Lucase : I have 8.04 LTS Desktop | 13:11 |
| geirha | Lucase: Sure, you said it was already without support, just a minor correction on that. | 13:11 |
| oCean | awanti: what version are you using? | 13:11 |
| geirha | mudit1141: It'll soon be out of support, you best get 10.04 LTS or 10.10 | 13:12 |
| Lucase | geirha: Absolutely. | 13:12 |
| awanti | Ubuntu Server 10.04 | 13:12 |
| mudit1141 | Lucase: I have plenty of softwares installed on the 8.04, would they be compatible ? | 13:12 |
| mudit1141 | with 10.04 ? | 13:12 |
| gian | Hi all: PC AMD Athlon 64 - Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 : no way to see video you tube...installed Swfdec 0.8.2...no way to see minitube "could not open media source" ...no way to play gnomeradio..no possible to play "/dev/radio0"! ..someone can help me ? | 13:12 |
| geirha | mudit1141: You have 8.04 installed on your system? If so, upgrade that to 10.04. | 13:13 |
| Lucase | mudit1141: I can't answer this. I'm not too sure if you can transfer them | 13:13 |
| awanti | <brontoeee> when i entered this command #setxkbmap -print its showing i have to install this " x11-xkb-utils" | 13:13 |
| Lucase | mudit1141: But if you can find a way, they would work with updates. | 13:13 |
| brontoeee | awanti, arh, so thats desktop related command probably | 13:14 |
| mudit1141 | Lucase: okay | 13:14 |
| geirha | mudit1141: Software for 8.04 may work on 10.04, but if someone provides software for 8.04, they'll surely provide it for 10.04 too. | 13:14 |

| oCean | !info linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-24-generic-pae | 13:23 |
| ubottu | linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-24-generic-pae (source: linux-backports-modules-2.6.35): Ubuntu supplied Linux modules for version 2.6.35 ALSA snapshots.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.35-24.15 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for all i386 amd64 lpia) | 13:23 |

| oCean | zatan: ^^ | 13:23 |
| zatan | oCean, so how do I install them ? | 13:24 |
| oCean | zatan: you are on 64 bit? | 13:24 |
| zatan | oCean, yes | 13:24 |
| MeanEYE | Anyone knows where bookmarks list is stored? | 13:24 |
| zatan | oCean, i got just these : http://pastebin.com/afY1rHvf | 13:25 |
| erUSUL | MeanEYE: in firefox? | 13:25 |
| RocketSnail | have you guys heard about Linux on the palm pre? I think it uses X | 13:25 |
| oCean | zatan: ah, contrary to ubottu's answer "avaiable for all i386 amd64 .." it seems that packages.ubuntu.com says only i386 | 13:25 |
| akSeya | i have a three boot pendrive with slax, ubuntu and windows 7 installations :) | 13:25 |
| MeanEYE | erUSUL, no, Ubuntu Bookmarks... am making a file manager and want to integrate with system | 13:25 |
| emanuele | speak italian? | 13:25 |

| oCean | zatan: as per your output, you have not installed anything yet | 13:26 |
| mae_tae | people, i hope somebody will look at this http://imagebin.org/133993, i just want to ask your opinion if do i need to put another router in routers, purpose is to ping from 3.0 network to 121 network & viceversa | 13:26 |
| the_dark_warrio | is there a rule of thumb to always get the man page for the C function and not the bash command? For instance, `man pipe' gives me the bash command, so I have to guess which number is the C function. | 13:27 |
| oCean | zatan: you should try installing with the complete packagename. But, since packages.ubuntu.com states that it's for i386, it might not be available for amd64 | 13:27 |
| zatan | oCean, for examaple i can play music on banshee but if I am trying to play oen more sound on youtube or vlc, its nots working, with this package i was able to play multitple sounds on system | 13:27 |
| zatan | oCean, so Its means, that I will not be able to play multitple sounds ? | 13:27 |
| MeanEYE | So, anyone knows where nautilus bookmarks are stored? | 13:28 |
| oCean | zatan: I'm not really into multimedia issues, just try to install using: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-`uname -r` | 13:28 |
| aman | hi guys can anyone tell me how can i check what is the partition number of my current booted OS????? | 13:29 |
| MeanEYE | nvm, found it | 13:29 |
| zatan | oCean, I try to install with complete package name but I getting errors on make command :http://pastebin.com/bP8c2AHW | 13:29 |
| zatan | oCean, linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-24-generic is already the newest version. | 13:29 |
| zatan | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded | 13:29 |
| oCean | zatan: so the package is already there. As to the issue why you do not have sound - I have no idea | 13:30 |
| brontoeee | aman, disk utility ? | 13:30 |
| aman | brontoeee, u mean gparted? | 13:30 |
| zatan | oCean, the right package is not here! I need linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-24-generic-pae but I got just only linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-24-generic | 13:31 |
| erUSUL | aman: see « cat /proc/mounts » | 13:31 |
| mprince | aman: df will tell you the currently mounted filesystems | 13:31 |
| angelsl | hi | 13:32 |
| angelsl | on kubuntu. somehow my father received an upgrade notice, so he went along with it and somehow got 11.04. how do I revert back to 10.10 safely? | 13:32 |
| oCean | zatan: but the uname -r gave the "type" kernel you are currently using, it's apparently not -pae | 13:32 |
| magellan | ASK: I notice in a ntfs partition you cand change a user permission of a file it always root permission although you can rwx is this true or ill mistaken | 13:32 |
| aman | erUSUL, thanks man i got it....:)) | 13:33 |
| zatan | oCean, where else I can try to pass these questions ? | 13:33 |
| aman | mprince, even your advise is also good...:) | 13:34 |
| aman | mprince, thanks | 13:34 |
| masai47 | I have just done a fresh install of edubuntu but for some reason it does not recognize Internet (even though it downloaded data during the install process. Is there something I have to start or restart? | 13:34 |
| mprince | magellan: can you rephase? | 13:34 |
| manas | my window 2003 instance showing pending state after that get terminated how to troubleshoot | 13:34 |
| magellan | Does only root permission allowed in the ntfs partition..i notice a changed the permision no error but when i check it still root permission.. | 13:35 |
| oCean | zatan: remember you don't need any -pae package if you are not running the -pae kernel. So in this case, you have the package that matches your kernel. This channel would be the correct place to ask about your sound issues, or scan the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org) | 13:35 |
| brontoeee | magellan, there are no permissions possible on non-linux file system i think | 13:35 |
| RickyHarline | Hey, all, I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 x64. I'm trying to install the alternate version, and after I select "Install" or "Run Ubuntu from this USB" a bunch of text starts flashing across the screen and then when it gets to one command it just stops. | 13:36 |
| magellan | mprince, Does only root permission allowed in the ntfs partition..i notice a changed the permision no error but when i check it still root permission.. | 13:36 |
| zatan | oCean, okay so now where I can look what causing this problem ? | 13:36 |
| manas | can anybody know how to troubleshoot | 13:36 |
| mprince | magellan: they can be changed by the user / group that has ownership of the files and by root | 13:37 |
| oCean | zatan: I have no idea. Just ask your question (detailed with the steps taken and results sofar) in this channel. Then be patient and try again in 20 or 30 minutes | 13:37 |
| Gnea | manas: yes, it's possible for anyone to learn how to do it | 13:37 |
| zatan | oCean, suprise! I dont know how but suddenly its start working, its really strange ... after 2 hours .. | 13:38 |
| manas | Gnea: my window 2003 instance in UEC showing pending state after that get terminated how to troubleshoot | 13:38 |
| oCean | zatan: oh wow :) | 13:38 |
| zatan | oCean, thank anyway, its time to go do some shopping now ;] | 13:39 |
| mprince | magellan: can you copy / paste what you're seeing to pastebin | 13:39 |
| magellan | brontoeee, thx. iused luckybackup and point the destinition to a ntfs partition like my home dir source but when i check the permission of the destination files its own by root.what if i restore the files it will be owned by root. althought i never try to restore. | 13:39 |
| oCean | zatan: cool, enjoy | 13:39 |
| magellan | mprince, what do you mean paste bin | 13:40 |
| Bubbubuntu | aaaasd | 13:40 |
| brontoeee | magellan, as far as i know you need to use linux-aware filesystem for linux backups or possibly a tool that can pack files together with a proper metadata, but i'am guessing here. | 13:40 |
| mprince | magellan: it appears luckybackup is not preserving the permissions when it copies all your data to the ntfs share | 13:41 |
| oCean | !it > Bubbubuntu | 13:41 |
| ubottu | Bubbubuntu, please see my private message | 13:41 |

| Gnea | manas: what does this look like, #windows? | 13:45 |
| masai471 | ikonia: I did not do anything, just simple fresh install | 13:46 |
| ikonia | masai471: ok, so configure your network card | 13:46 |
| masai471 | ikonia: how? | 13:46 |
| ikonia | masai471: use the network manager application | 13:47 |
| masai471 | ikonia: I see network Proxy and network tools but no network manager | 13:48 |
| mprince | magellan: I just realized you're talking ntfs instead of nfs. Too early for me. brontoeee was giving you better advice. | 13:48 |

| RickyHarline | What's the problem? | 13:57 |
| Jackneill | i know, but bootable..not | 13:57 |
| RickyHarline | Ah | 13:57 |
| RickyHarline | Well, making CDs bootable isn't problematic like making a USB drive bootable | 13:57 |
| asdf39 | what is bonobo-activation-server? | 13:57 |
| RickyHarline | So long as you have ISO burned correctly, it will be bootable. | 13:57 |

| bonjoyee | Jackneill: is it a dir(as in a folder) or an image of ubuntu installation disc? | 14:01 |
| yeats | LDC: try ~/.config/chromium/Default/Application Cache | 14:01 |

| bonjoyee | Jackneill: how did you get the dir? | 14:02 |
| Jackneill | from ubuntu.com | 14:02 |
| Jackneill | or ubuntu.hu | 14:02 |
| bonjoyee | Jackneill: to make a livecd or liveusb you need the .iso file | 14:02 |

| LDC | Yeats.... I found it here actually "/home/lenin/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache" Thanks for the reply though :) | 14:04 |
| yeats | Craig`: that's correct - an x86 version wouldn't include the "x64" part | 14:04 |

| Jackneill | 10.10-desktop-i386 is not good for a laptop? | 14:06 |
| gordonjcp | Craig`: if it works even a little bit, it's x64 hardware ;-) | 14:06 |
| Craig` | oh haha, cool. | 14:06 |
| Jackneill | i think 11.04 is better but i dont want to wait for that | 14:06 |
| Westz | Jackneill, im sure itll be fine if the laptop is relatively new | 14:07 |
| bonjoyee | Jackneill: how much ram? | 14:07 |
| Jackneill | 2 GB | 14:07 |
| Westz | processor clock speed? | 14:07 |
| Jackneill | dual core intel 1.73 Ghz | 14:08 |
| RickyHarline | I guess I'll come back later. You gents have a good afternoon. | 14:08 |
| RickyHarline | Cheers | 14:08 |
| bonjoyee | Jackneill: then it should be fine...and most compatible as well,,, | 14:08 |
| Jackneill | 10.10? | 14:08 |
| Westz | yeah it'll run okay | 14:08 |
| Jackneill | ok thanks | 14:08 |
| Westz | is it a dell? | 14:08 |
| ngrstan | hey any mediawiki-knowledgeable folk in this channel? | 14:09 |
| yeats | RickyHarline: I'm assuming you've 1) checked and double-checked the downloaded image(s) you're using, 2) attempted both CD-ROM and USB installation, 3) verified the integrity of the image with the menu option in the installer, and 4) have used the regular and alternate installers? | 14:09 |
| bonjoyee | Jackneill: if you have a spare empty cd, just burn the iso as an "image" to it..and you should be able to install from it | 14:09 |
| oCean | ngrstan: there is #mediawiki you know? | 14:09 |
| yeats | oh - he left :-/ | 14:10 |
| Jackneill | ubuntu netbook editon or desktop is better for a laptop? | 14:10 |
| Garzooka | no i didn't | 14:10 |
| Westz | Jackneill, dont just put the ISO on the CD, you have to burn it as an ISO. if you're in windows go download infrarecorder and use that | 14:10 |
| yeats | Jackneill: you should try both and see which one you like better | 14:11 |
| Jackneill | oh okok | 14:11 |
| bonjoyee | Jackneill: or ImgBurn..it has clear labelling as well.. | 14:11 |
| mellin | Ok need some help getting output via HDMI cable to external monitor. I will try and post one line at a time starting with what I have done and tried so far. | 14:11 |
| Westz | Jackneill, how big is the screen? | 14:11 |
| Jackneill | 15.4 col | 14:11 |
| oCean | mellin: for multi line pasting, use paste.ubuntu.com | 14:12 |
| Westz | yeah desktop will work fine, netbook is for slower processors and smaller screens | 14:12 |
| Jackneill | oh ok thanks | 14:12 |
| Westz | although if you want it to run bit faster netbook will work fine too | 14:12 |
| masai471 | How do I configure a network card in edubuntu | 14:13 |
| Westz | its all personal taste. thats 90% of what unix based OS' are all about | 14:14 |
| bonjoyee | Westz: netbook edition is not really different in terms of speed ..as its just the basic ubuntu with the unity interface.. | 14:14 |
| mkf00 | masai471 i guess the same way as in ubuntu | 14:14 |
| mkf00 | use | 14:14 |
| mkf00 | ifconfig | 14:14 |
| mkf00 | or do you need a graphical user interface? | 14:14 |
| Westz | bonjoyee, oh i see. i never messed with it. i figured it used differet daemons and configured for smaller screens | 14:14 |

| mohan1111 | bonjoyee Ok, i will do that. Thank you | 14:38 |

| david__ | bonjoyee, will try clonezilla, having some problems with remastersys | 14:41 |
| SAM__ | no there are no other warnings | 14:41 |
| oCean | SAM__: probably faulty/corrupted .list files in those /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list files | 14:41 |

| Dandre1 | - first is touchpad without scrolling bars which is fixed wit the 2.6.37 kernel I have installed on 10.04 | 14:42 |
| Dandre1 | - second is the no sount issue from my e-port docking station wich seems resoled with 10.10 livecd. | 14:42 |

| SAM__ | shall i delete files under /var/lib/dpkg/info/* | 14:42 |
| SAM__ | ? | 14:42 |
| mellin | [bean]:: That if fine..now if you state in the channel there is a bug then most likely you will be referred to where you can report it. That makes sense no? | 14:42 |
| Dandre1 | I am not flooding | 14:42 |
| mellin | *is* | 14:42 |
| dhruvasagar | ikonia: are you sure his problem is not a configuration issue ? | 14:42 |
| oCean | SAM__: I don't think that is wise. Try sudo dpkg --configure -a first | 14:42 |
| Dandre1 | i am explaining | 14:42 |

| ikonia | [bean]: you said the config tools are not working and the application is not responding to the config and that it's just bad code or "bloat code" | 14:42 |
| SAM__ | sudo dpkg --configure -a returned nothing> | 14:43 |
| oCean | SAM__: and now a re-try of the apache2 install? | 14:43 |
| [bean] | i said if it dont work then whats the point of it, is it bloat? i didnt say its bad code or bloat coat. and the config tools arent working but i think thats because the config for how they are setup, not becasue the program itself | 14:44 |

| yeats | SAM__: you may have said this, but what is the net effect of these issues, are you not able to use apache? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | [bean]: but it DOES work, many people are using it | 14:44 |
| SAM__ | thats correct i am unable to use apache as a result | 14:44 |
| SAM__ | webmin reports apache is installed and running however it is not | 14:45 |
| boss | ciao | 14:45 |
| ikonia | SAM__: webmin is unsupported here | 14:45 |
| ikonia | SAM__: if you are using webmin to configure your ubuntu machine we cannot support you | 14:45 |
| SAM__ | im not using webmin to configure my machine | 14:45 |
| [bean] | i should of had ntp client by default or no | 14:45 |
| ikonia | webmin is not compatible with the ubuntu config layout | 14:45 |
| sacarlson | SAM__: I assume you looked and don't see those packages that are said missing in synaptic? simply try another mirror site http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-fastest-mirror-in-ubuntu.html | 14:45 |
| ikonia | SAM__: you just said you are using webmin | 14:45 |
| SAM__ | i installed it after i ran into issues with the apache server last night | 14:46 |
| ikonia | SAM__: ok - so that will break your configs | 14:46 |
| SAM__ | otherwise webmin was not installed | 14:46 |
| ikonia | it's installed now, it's too late | 14:46 |
| birrbert | jrib, thanks, but I not succeeding here. I'm trying to setup ntorrent by following this guide: http://code.google.com/p/ntorrent/wiki/SettingUpAConnection and I'm stuck at setting up apache with SCGI step 2 | 14:46 |
| ikonia | it messes with the config files, or tries to | 14:46 |
| ikonia | !webmin | 14:46 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 14:46 |

| Guest50838 | i thought not thanks @ ikonia maybe 1 day | 14:47 |
| jrib | birrbert: that's not proper usage. just run a2enmod and select scgi | 14:47 |
| Guest50838 | ? | 14:47 |
| ikonia | SAM__: can't really help now that webmin is messing with your configs | 14:48 |
| oCean | ikonia: actually, currently SAM_ has an issue with his /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list files. Could webmin have caused that? | 14:48 |
| ikonia | !webmin > SAM__ | 14:48 |
| ubottu | SAM__, please see my private message | 14:48 |
| ikonia | oCean: no idea, not trouble shooting it, you put webmin on your box - your problem to resolve | 14:48 |

| david__ | eedy, install synergy | 14:49 |
| ikonia | SAM__: read the PM ubottu sent you about webmin | 14:49 |

| SAM__ | some guy made out that webmin caused the issue when it didnt, | 14:58 |
| ikonia | SAM__: no they didn't | 14:58 |
| sacarlson | SAM__: that's the natty version it may not support apache2 yet? | 14:58 |

| PeterNL | chrislustic: had the same with my laptop. Search for pulseaudio equaliser on ubuntuforums.org | 16:46 |
| edwardteach | dpac_, pressing the arrow keys up down scrolls through history ! | 16:46 |
| chrislustic | thank you peternl | 16:47 |
| luketheduke | takis1012: err, "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" | 16:47 |
| takis1012 | luketheduke my server running but i cant open luketheduke | 16:47 |
| luketheduke | takis1012: can you open anything? | 16:47 |
| takis1012 | nothing | 16:47 |
| dpac_ | edwardteach: I know, I want to scroll through search results of reverse-i-search | 16:47 |
| edwardteach | dpac_, oh sorry !!! | 16:48 |
| jrib | dpac_: ctrl-s may suspend output (and ctrl-q re-enables it) still, so that may be taking precedence | 16:48 |
| takis1012 | luketheduke, can i desable all servers too use xampp? | 16:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | dpac_, "history | tac | less" maybe? | 16:49 |
| karim__ | hello | 16:49 |
| karim__ | is there a dev channel ? | 16:49 |
| luketheduke | takis1012: xampp is for windows. but you can do "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop" to stop the server. find a tutorial to set up a lampp install. | 16:49 |
| PeterNL | !dev | karim__ | 16:49 |
| ubottu | karim__: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 16:49 |
| PeterNL | !#ubuntu-dev | karim__ | 16:50 |
| pilojo66|infinit | ok... how would i uninstall ubuntu without a windows cd.... | 16:50 |
| PeterNL | !ubuntu-dev | karim__ | 16:50 |
| dpac_ | ZykoticK9: history|grep cat works but I feel more comfortable with ctrl-r | 16:50 |
| Sentynel | Is there a way to prohibit certain packages being updated from particular sources? e.g. I'd like to install and keep updated a firefox4 beta package without it trying to upgrade my version of firefox3.6 to beta versions | 16:50 |
| PeterNL | pilojo66|infinit: use any partitining tool (e.g. a ubuntu live cd), or use a hamer :) | 16:50 |
| jrib | !pinning | Sentynel | 16:51 |
| ubottu | Sentynel: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 16:51 |
| pilojo66|infinit | when i delete my ubuntu partition from windows grub goes into recovery and i cant boot to windows | 16:51 |
| Sentynel | jrib: cheers | 16:51 |
| jrib | pilojo66|infinit: ask ##windows about restoring the windows mbr | 16:51 |
| takis1012 | luketheduke, ok but how to sesable and sql too? | 16:51 |
| takis1012 | desable | 16:51 |
| luketheduke | takis1012: do you even have mysql running? | 16:51 |
| PeterNL | ^ disable | 16:51 |
| pilojo66|infinit | theyll just say "Use the cd that came with the computer" | 16:51 |
| pilojo66|infinit | that i dont have | 16:51 |
| jrib | pilojo66|infinit: if there are alternatives, they are the ones to ask | 16:52 |
| PeterNL | pilojo66|infinit: do exactly that, or buy a new windows cd | 16:52 |
| takis1012 | luketheduke yes | 16:52 |
| pilojo66|infinit | im not buying windows 7 for half of what my computer costed lol | 16:52 |
| luketheduke | takis1012: mysql is mysqld iirc. "sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop" | 16:52 |
| PeterNL | pilojo66|infinit: you could keep using ubuntu... But if you really want to fix windows, you'll need an original windows cd | 16:53 |
| takis1012 | luketheduke thank you xampp works now | 16:53 |
| mellin | Power preferences does not show an option for do nothing is the laptop lid is closed. Is there a way to change this manually from terminal? | 16:53 |
| xiven | I was told a couple of days ago by someone in here, that webmin and usermin were not recommended for Ubuntu due to incompatibilities. I'd like to know what sort of incompatibilities those are if anyone can tell me? | 16:54 |
| gpc | !webmin | 16:54 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 16:54 |
| Okee | How does 10.4, 10.41, and 10.10 compare? 10.10 is junk. The install program doesn't work and it is very slow patched system. I hear 10.4 is much more stable. But what about 10.41? | 16:55 |
| Patricia1990 | Witam mam problem z ubuntu 10.04 z skonfigurowaniem kamerki internetowej, szukałem w google ale mojego rodzaju nie ma ktoś mi pomoże ? proszę | 16:55 |
| ikonia | Okee: please don't talk nosense | 16:55 |
| dpac_ | jrib: Tried a lot of sites, all of them mention pressing ctrl-r repeatedly to go back.. none of them mention any shortcut to go forward. It seems its not implemented in most of the terminals.. Anyways, thanks a lot! It helped a lot. | 16:55 |

| gnewb | pilojo66|infinit: What OS are you dual booting with? | 16:55 |
| PeterNL | There is no 10.41 or 10.4, there is 10.04 and 10.04.1 | 16:55 |
| Patricia1990 | thanks. | 16:56 |
| ikonia | Okee: try the releases out and see what you like as it's clear you're making assumptions based on your own views, | 16:56 |
| jrib | dpac_: man bash says C-s should search forward, look into disabling C-s for suspending the terminal probably | 16:56 |
| Okee | I am not a BETA tester. | 16:56 |
| ikonia | Okee: they are not beta releases | 16:56 |
| Okee | My comments on 10.10 are also shared by reviewers on http://iso.linuxquestions.org/ubuntu | 16:56 |
| gpc | Okee: 10.04.1 is a point release with all the applied updates to 10.04 | 16:57 |
| ikonia | Okee: I can give you 10000+ URLS that show the opposite, so try the releases out and see what you like | 16:57 |
| === deT is now known as Dakrav | ||
| PeterNL | Okee: that url doesn't exist. But 10.10 works just fine for most people... | 16:57 |
| Okee | That is my point. They are releasing something to the public that is really alpha, not beta. Ubuntu 10.10 is like the story of the King with NO CLOTHES. | 16:57 |
| prower | hello :> i've been having a weird problem in 10.10 lately...it seems as if occasionally a mouse-click is "delayed" for a little while after you press it, and when that happens, it will eventually click on whatever your cursor is over at the time :P usually resulting in moving windows around or dragging things that you don't want moved...has anyone else seen this, or know of a way to fix it? | 16:57 |
| edwardteach | mellin, use blank screen is the best bet as it effectively does nothing but save the screen by going black ! | 16:57 |
| hsyn | hi how are you today ? | 16:57 |
| PeterNL | Okee: 10.10 is just as stable as any other release of any other os I've tried... | 16:57 |
| gpc | Okee: do you have a support question or just feel like ranting? | 16:57 |
| raven | sshfs mount gives me in destination d????????? ? ? ? ? ? mnt | 16:57 |
| mellin | edwardteach:: Not if you want to close the lid and use an external monitor. | 16:57 |
| Okee | The URL does exist. Perhaps you need a better distro so that you can access it? | 16:57 |
| gnewb | ikonia: Thank you | 16:58 |
| chupan | Hello, why ubuntu doesn't release distribution with fixed nvidia GT330m etc cards issue ? | 16:58 |
| dpac_ | jrib: Thanks, I'll look into that | 16:58 |
| zzLop | sigh | 16:58 |
| PeterNL | Okee: please! I even didn't use ubuntu to access that url :) | 16:58 |
| PeterNL | Oh wait, he is already kicked :) | 16:59 |
| gpc | PeterNL: they are gone | 16:59 |
| raven | sshfs mount gives me in destination d????????? ? ? ? ? ? mnt | 16:59 |
| edwardteach | mellin, i think you need to look in the proprietary driver settings for that perhaps! | 16:59 |
| gnewb | How do I see what CPU is running and possibly Motherboard information from CLI? | 17:00 |
| mellin | edwardteach:: I'm sorry there is not such setting in the nvidia drivers app | 17:00 |
| gpc | gnewb: sudo lshw | 17:00 |
| Roasted | does movie player not support video_ts files? | 17:00 |
| gnewb | gpc: Thank you | 17:01 |
| mellin | edwardteach:: Nor is it for that matter available when booted into linux. It is an option of the OS | 17:01 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: you mean totem? Afaik it does | 17:01 |
| mellin | *windows* | 17:01 |
| Feneer | can anyone tell me the best way to check the stability of an ubuntu server? My mumble server keeps on dropping everyone and i'm unsure if the problem is the box itself or the server software. Thanks. | 17:01 |
| chupan | Hello, why ubuntu doesn't release distribution with fixed nvidia GT330m etc cards issue ? | 17:01 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, I'm just trying to figure out how to play the video_ts folder then... I get errors like crazy when I right click the video_ts folder and hit play with movie player. | 17:01 |
| chupan | every time I install ubutu I hate to connect external monitor to notebook | 17:02 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: lemme try... | 17:02 |
| gpc | chupan: the nvidia drivers are proprietary, Ubuntu can not release with those drivers installed for legal reasons | 17:02 |
| gpc | !nvidia | chupan | 17:02 |
| ubottu | chupan: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 17:02 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: I can't exactly figure it out as well. You can try vlc instead. | 17:03 |
| Encr9 | how do i get my second monitor to not mirror my main one? I want to drag things to it, but not mirror it | 17:04 |
| Virtus | How do I change my startup-sound? The beating of the drums. I'd like it to play a song from my library. A lil' something to complete the epic entry i've made for my Ubuntu computer. | 17:04 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, already did. VLC sucks badly on my netbook for some reason. It freezes every 20 seconds, whereas movie player works flawlessly. | 17:04 |
| edwardteach | mellin, you can disable the laptop screen from the NVidia settings if you have both screens connected ! | 17:04 |
| Virtus | I checked Preferences > sound -- But, couldn't find an option. | 17:04 |
| gpc | !pm | chupan | 17:04 |
| ubottu | chupan: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 17:04 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: then I'd look at your grapics drivers... But that still doesn't help for totem | 17:05 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, its audio and video that freezes. | 17:05 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, I doubt its a driver if other applications, such as movie player, work as flawlessly as they do. | 17:05 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, I just want to watch a concert thats in video_ts form...... | 17:05 |
| prower | Well, perhaps someone might know the answer to this one :> I don't see any easy way to disable three button emulation, which is rumoured to cause the problem...any ideas on how I could do that? My mouse has six or seven buttons so I don't think emulation is needed :> | 17:05 |
| chupan | problem is not in drivers | 17:05 |
| chupan | <chupan> even withoud them it cant find embeded display but send everything to external | 17:05 |
| chupan | <chupan> and I have to connect external monitor | 17:05 |
| Virtus | No one has any ideas? | 17:06 |
| PeterNL | Well, vlc *does* indeed use the cpu, so i can understand how it fails on a netbook... | 17:06 |
| skyfire | guys how to get back my panel at ubuntu 10.10 at the buttom i accidentally delete | 17:07 |
| PeterNL | !panel | skyfire | 17:07 |
| oCean | !panels | skyfire | 17:07 |
| ubottu | skyfire: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 17:07 |
| chupan | gpc: sorry for pm, I didn't expect such a strange rule with pm | 17:07 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, well if its more CPU intensive that might make sense, despite the fact system monitor tells me I have a LOT of unused processing power even on this atom. But it would still make better sense, since the SAME videos work flawlessly on my desktop with VLC (and same ubuntu version) but that desktop is a quad core as well... | 17:07 |
| skyfire | PeterNL, yeah | 17:07 |
| oCean | Virtus: not sure if there is a "correct" way, but the drums are in usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg | 17:07 |
| bonjoyee1 | Virtus: please repost your issue | 17:08 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: is it a dualcore atom? Maybe it uses just one core... | 17:08 |
| BluesKaj | chupan, it's not a " strange" rule , ity's just courtesy to the volunteers who help here. | 17:08 |
| Virtus | How do I change my startup-sound? The beating of the drums. I'd like it to play a song from my library. A lil' something to complete the epic entry i've made for my Ubuntu computer. | 17:08 |
| Virtus | I checked Preferences > sound -- But, couldn't find an option. | 17:08 |
| skyfire | i mean the only one at the buttom where trash is located | 17:09 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, I don't think so... its an older 8.9" netbook. It was given to me free just a few days ago. | 17:09 |
| oCean | Virtus: did you see my suggestion? | 17:09 |
| Virtus | oCean: Yes. Was just re-posting for bonjoyee1 | 17:09 |
| PeterNL | free? lucky bastard :D | 17:09 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, system monitor shows 2 cores, but I'm not sure if that's from hyperthreading or what. | 17:09 |
| oCean | Virtus: sorry, I missed that | 17:09 |
| Virtus | oCean: So, i'm safe to move it and re-name a different file to that name, yes? | 17:09 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: even if it's just HT, same thing applies | 17:09 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, yeah, she said it didnt work and she didnt want it cause she has an ipad now, and said if I fix it, keep it. Turns out it was just XP corrupt. Hardware was good. | 17:09 |
| Virtus | And, I take it you NEED it to be .ogg? | 17:09 |
| oCean | Virtus: you could try, not sure on the *ogg format though | 17:10 |
| PeterNL | Roasted: as usual :) Stuff doesn't break that easy, unless you drop it | 17:10 |
| Encr9 | how do i get my second monitor to not mirror my main one? I want to drag things to it, but not mirror it | 17:10 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, super handy cause my ibook (as crappy as it was, it was handy) died 2 months ago, so this is a nice compliment since it does FAR more than my ibook could. | 17:10 |
| Virtus | oCean: Is there a time limit? I'm putting an entire song :D | 17:10 |
| Virtus | x3 | 17:10 |
| Roasted | PeterNL, hey, not complaining here, bro :P | 17:10 |
| oCean | Virtus: again, I'm not sure :s Just give it a try | 17:10 |
| magellan | may i ask if someone know how to drop an administrative password previledge..i undertants it takes 15 mins to drop the administrative right after that i if i open synaptics it will ask again.. | 17:11 |
| chupan | Anybody just listen, please, If Ubuntu means humanity then why the problem with external monitor and nvidia cards is not fixed in releases? it just need to add some lines to xorg and block some modules | 17:11 |
| Daekdroom | chupan, if you're using nvidia's proprietary driver, it's not ubuntu's fault, really | 17:11 |
| matricks | hi all | 17:12 |
| yeats | chupan: this is a support channel - the ubuntu developers are likely not here | 17:12 |
| matricks | I am new to ubuntu and a gnome | 17:12 |
| chupan | I can use it when I'm just installing ubuntu | 17:12 |
| chupan | right now I'm using it but I fixed all settings | 17:12 |
| matricks | I need a file manager like krusader for gnome | 17:12 |
| PeterNL | chupan: some things cannot be fixed as easy as it appears to be, especially not when it is about closed drivers, but don't ask me about it... | 17:12 |
| karim__ | I have a device like /dev/input/event7 . Is there a way to know wich number is this device from some command ? | 17:12 |
| oCean | chupan: this is not a discussion forum, move on | 17:12 |
| chupan | but when I'm installing ubuntu everything is by default | 17:12 |
| yeats | chupan: do you have a support question? | 17:12 |
| magellan | I guess your lucky ur nvidia works my newer cuda type nvidia card wont work..i thik i already try all.. | 17:12 |
| Feneer | i've had no response, is it ok to re-ask a question? | 17:13 |
| Roasted | Does anybody know a y/n answer as to whether or not movie player can play video_ts files? | 17:13 |
| magellan | may i ask if someone know how to drop an administrative password previledge..i undertants it takes 15 mins to drop the administrative right after that i if i open synaptics it will ask again.. | 17:13 |
| PeterNL | matricks: you can press F3 to get 2 panels in nautilus | 17:13 |
| chupan | YES, When will you make the release to display info on embeded display not external! | 17:13 |
| chupan | & | 17:13 |

| oCean | Feneer: sure, every 15 minutes or so | 17:13 |
| Shadowjedi01 | ok difficult ? | 17:13 |
| Shadowjedi01 | if I install ubuntu in virtual box under windows 7 would it still support the advanced graphics? | 17:14 |
| Shadowjedi01 | cause I love ubuntu but it dosen't support some of my windows apps and also its buggy running stand alone by it self | 17:14 |
| yeats | Shadowjedi01: you might want to ask that in #virtualbox | 17:14 |
| PeterNL | Shadowjedi01: most probably not, but you should ask in #virtualbox | 17:14 |

| breadcrumb | Shadowjedi01, you mean like the rotating cube and other fancy desktop effectS? | 17:15 |
| matricks | I am addicted to keyboard shortcuts | 17:15 |
| oCean | magellan: I think sudo -k resets the timestamp, asking for password next time sudo is used. Is that what you want? | 17:15 |
| matricks | like f5 -copy, f4 - edit | 17:15 |
| SAM__ | guys can someone pastebin me /etc/apt/source files for a standard 10.04 installation preferably USA | 17:16 |

| skyfire | how to get it back | 17:19 |

| jayson373 | hi guys, im working with the recovery console right now an i want to open a second terminal. do you know the command? | 17:33 |
| snimavat | gnewb: i dont get u | 17:33 |
| gnewb | snimavat: Here is a line of code, from 2007. still looking: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843820 | 17:34 |
| mellin | Ok on to the next issue. I want to know how to disable blanking the screen when a laptop lid is closed? FYI I am running external monitor and keyboard so not closing the lid is a plus since it would be partially in the way | 17:34 |
| Lint01 | I occasionally did | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | jayson373, you can switch between consoles with F keys , like F1 for one console F2 for another and so on up to F6. | 17:35 |
| xangua | mellin: system>prefs>energy | 17:35 |
| blind | my wireless card doesn't report wireless percentage, i think because it's registered as eth2 -- how can i fix this? | 17:35 |
| Lint01 | mounted NTFS volume, but have no any access | 17:35 |
| Lint01 | why? | 17:35 |
| edwardteach | Encr9, there should be a setting in there somewhere to enable different views ! its not my graphics card so you maybe better off asking again soon | 17:35 |
| gnewb | smimavat: And here is the Ubuntu Documentation:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE | 17:35 |
| Encr9 | edwardteach: ok thanks anyways :) | 17:36 |
| jayson373 | Not working for me. im in the recovery mode | 17:36 |
| mellin | xangua:: No there is not an option for "do nothing" only blank screen which kills the display | 17:36 |
| snimavat | thnx | 17:36 |
| snimavat | looking into | 17:36 |
| jayson373 | I want to use my server just with the terminal. am i right with the recovery mode or should i deactivate the kde? | 17:36 |
| gnewb | snimavat: Did you install the Java pkg? | 17:37 |
| PeterNL | jayson373: ctrl-alt-F1 ~ F6 | 17:37 |
| snimavat | not package, but used .bin file from sun | 17:37 |
| snimavat | i dont want java to be installed system wide | 17:37 |
| PeterNL | jayson373: but the recovery mode is not what you want, you want a ubuntu server installation | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | jayson373, just open a second console then | 17:37 |
| kerneldaemon | You ideally wouldnt have kde installed on a server or any other xserver window manager combo | 17:37 |
| snimavat | java works | 17:37 |
| snimavat | just untared it and set java home and path | 17:37 |
| mellin | jayson373:: I might suggest installing ubuntu server I think it comes without a window manager | 17:37 |
| snimavat | gnewb: | 17:38 |
| jayson373 | Thank you. Ubuntu server is not working for me. | 17:38 |
| jayson373 | its not possible to install it. | 17:38 |
| gnewb | snimavat: So is working? | 17:38 |
| kerneldaemon | Ubuntu server has no window manager thats correct | 17:38 |
| jayson373 | same error message every time. | 17:38 |
| greppy | kerneldaemon: not by default. | 17:38 |
| Lint01 | mounted NTFS volume, but have no any access, how to fix it? | 17:38 |
| snimavat | gnewb: yes java is working | 17:38 |
| snimavat | infact i can open eclipse from terminal | 17:38 |
| snimavat | just symlink doesnt work | 17:38 |
| Him | Hi all. I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10, and find it quite nice. However, how can I get rid of the annoying "boomp" sound that occurs when you click on any buttons? | 17:38 |
| kerneldaemon | yes not by default, you can install one, any one of them but why would you want to? | 17:38 |
| mellin | jayson373:: Then if that is a problem probably best to try and just use the desktop. You can accomplish just about the same thing, except the overhead is higher due to the XServer and window manager | 17:39 |

| gnewb | snimavat: Sweet, please post any fixes or erros on the boards so that others may use them. | 17:39 |
| kerneldaemon | Also the kernel is compiled differently for server than it is desktop | 17:39 |

| alessiofachechi | SAM__: you can do it with a live | 17:39 |
| snimavat | it just complains abt the java not found | 17:39 |
| kerneldaemon | if your building a server then dont install desktop | 17:39 |

| alessiofachechi | SAM__: you can do it with a live | 17:40 |
| SAM__ | what do u mean do it with a live | 17:40 |
| jayson373 | There is no live version of ubuntu server right? | 17:40 |
| gnewb | snimavat: That last page I posted explains that. | 17:40 |
| andrew_ | hi | 17:40 |
| === andrew_ is now known as Guest21069 | ||
| kerneldaemon | No, no live server version | 17:40 |
| snimavat | gnewb: yes, i get it now | 17:40 |
| snimavat | trying out | 17:40 |
| snimavat | it should work | 17:40 |
| jayson373 | Okay. Im not the only one who got problems at installing server 64 bit from a usb stick | 17:41 |
| jayson373 | same error, cd rom not readable | 17:41 |
| mellin | Great so what is the process to request an option in a release patch or next version that will offer a option to do nothing with lid on laptop closed. This used to be an option in other releases | 17:41 |
| trism | Him: in System/Preference/Sounds, perhaps uncheck "Enable window and button sounds", or if that doesn't work, you can set the sound theme to "No Sounds". I don't think there is really much control over individual sounds unless you edit the themes | 17:41 |
| r3in | blah | 17:43 |
| r3in | so, stupidity strikes again | 17:43 |
| r3in | if you resize a partition, will it only use free space? | 17:43 |
| jayson373 | How can i leave the recovery console? | 17:43 |
| Him | trism: If I disable window and button sounds, will alerts and stuff still come through? | 17:43 |
| MC8 | Hey there; is it possible to find the Evolution icon used for the mail button top-right's file location? | 17:44 |
| yeats | SAM__: here is mine from my desktop edition - use at your own risk ;-): http://paste.ubuntu.com/557284/ | 17:45 |
| r3in | I was updating drivers, and destroyed X, (no apt-get/install/fix/etc will not help) decided simplest solution is to copy home folder else where, or make a new install, fully update, then copy everything back to original partiotion | 17:45 |
| r3in | but, i need to know that resizing the partition wont destroy my home folder, before I can continuje | 17:46 |
| SAM__ | thanks yeats | 17:46 |
| jayson373 | anybody who knows how to leave the recovery console? | 17:47 |
| trism | Him: all sound should work as usual, it should just disable the desktop sound effects, which alert sounds do you mean? | 17:47 |
| karim__ | hey | 17:47 |
| jayson373 | exit and resume is not working for me | 17:47 |
| karim__ | I have vdr that shoudl run at startup but it doesn't. does upstart have something to do with this ? | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | r3in, how can you destroy X, you may have destroyed your window manager by mistake . | 17:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | jayson373, couldn't you just reboot? "sudo shutdown -r now" | 17:47 |
| Him | trism: Like, say a dialog box pops up, or a warning saying "HEY DOUCHEBAG, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!". | 17:47 |

| Emily_ | I tried a live CD of 9.10, Fedora 13, and OpenSUSE and they all had the same issue | 17:48 |
| trism | Him: ahh, yes, it may disable sounds for those events (I always set my sound theme to no sounds, so I never noticed they made noise) | 17:48 |
| lestat | hi | 17:48 |
| yeats | Emily_: you have verified that the image you downloaded is sound with md5sum? | 17:48 |
| Emily_ | No, but I've installed linux on other systems before using those same DVDs | 17:49 |
| Emily_ | without any issues | 17:49 |
| Emily_ | it's an issue exclusive to this one computer | 17:49 |

| r3in | how: I'm not exactly sure, but I ended up removing a majority of my pacakges | 17:49 |

| lestat | i have partitionned my disk this way pri|pri|extented|pri and i want to absorb the last primary into the extended one, is it easy/not too dangerous ? | 17:50 |
| yeats | Emily_: if you're sure you want to install, you can try the alternate CD | 17:50 |
| Emily_ | Yes I'm sure | 17:50 |
| kevin_ | hi, can I install ubuntu 10.04 on raid5 with lvm? | 17:50 |
| Emily_ | Which alternate CD is that? Is there a download link? | 17:50 |
| yeats | !alternate | Emily_ | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Emily_: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 17:50 |

| magicianlord | mudit1141: yes. after you install 10.04 (although i would recommend 10.10 at this point), go into terminal and run sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. reboot the computer. then go into system, administration, hardware drivers, and install the recommended nvidia driver | 19:04 |
| danst_ | try mounting it to some path | 19:04 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i normally don't much into games. only simple ones ex. minesweeper | 19:04 |
| pepee | ttr1, hmm... an hour? don't relly know, just run some tests | 19:04 |
| raven | which compression ratio reaches gzip? | 19:05 |
| pepee | ttr1, the idea is to put the machine under heavy load | 19:05 |
| === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo | ||
| === zvrk is now known as xXx_hazard | ||
| nep0x | danst__: I added to the blacklist a driver for not to load in the system but i want the configuration take efects. i mean some command like init.d/net restart | 19:05 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i understand. but XP didn't hand in normal cases. what do u suggest if it hangs under heavy load? | 19:05 |
| ttr1 | hand=hang | 19:06 |
| magicianlord | ronr__: what is your issue | 19:06 |
| === heather is now known as Guest38796 | ||
| pepee | ttr1, that way you will know if it's a hardware problem for sure | 19:06 |
| ronr__ | magicianlord: do I lag really badly or did you miss my really long message before? | 19:06 |
| PeterNL | nep0x: sudo rmmod unwantedmodulename | 19:06 |
| earthian | danst_, there is no /dev/fd0, so I suppose the cables in within the PC case are not connected. is that possible? | 19:07 |
| Guest38796 | how do I go about completely uninstalling a program? I want a clean install cause I screwed up my current one | 19:07 |
| faical117 | t | 19:07 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i have installed ubuntu 10.04 thrice. | 19:07 |
| nep0x | ahhh! thanks! | 19:07 |
| ttr1 | pepee: is there a way to generate "UPDATED" ubuntu CD with all the programs installed and all the updates run? | 19:08 |
| Blueleaf | ok, how do you get ubuntu to boot up with the number lock on?? | 19:08 |
| pepee | ttr1, tried 10.10? | 19:08 |
| quack | Hello, all. Just installed Ubuntu x32 bit on my computer and am trying to update it. The update manager says "Waiting for jockey backend to exit" and just sits there. Anyone know what's up? | 19:08 |
| pepee | ttr1, yes, you can do that, I don't really know how | 19:08 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i am afraid not. i have full confidence in LTS but nort on 10.10. sorry | 19:08 |
| Blueleaf | ok, how do you get ubuntu to boot up with the number lock on?? | 19:09 |
| magicianlord | ronr__: i missed it. i will scroll up | 19:09 |
| ronr__ | magicianlord: thanks. | 19:09 |
| pepee | ttr1, what about installing 9.10 and upgrade from it? | 19:09 |
| ttr1 | pepee: this way i can install XP and reinstall ubuntu 10.04 to the same point it was stopped | 19:09 |
| edwardteach | Guest38796, sudo apt-get remove --purge program .... sudo apt-get install program | 19:09 |
| nep0x | the command was modprobe | 19:09 |
| quack | Also, in order to boot Ubuntu, I must have the parameter acpi=off. Why is this? | 19:10 |
| magicianlord | ronr__: update the system first. reboot. then install nvidia and reboot | 19:10 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i hqaven't tried that too. since i began my journey with 10.04 LTS | 19:10 |
| guest | you can often set up num lock in the computers BIOS | 19:10 |
| magicianlord | quiescens: i think the security support logic needs to be reevaluated if the vlc team says it's improper | 19:10 |
| danst_ | nep0x: rmmod module | 19:10 |
| trijntje_netbook | quack, that program checks for non-free drivers for you system, maybe that needs to quit before you can upgrade? | 19:10 |
| pepee | ttr1, also, try kubuntu, xubuntu, etc | 19:10 |
| ronr__ | magicianlord: and if I haven't done that already, any way to rescue? it seems that from the GRUB screen, if I choose the server kernel, it gives me the same error and if I choose the generic kernel, it loads up fine. | 19:11 |
| ttr1 | pepee: you raised that right issue. is the "background" code same for xubuntu, edubuntu etv? | 19:11 |
| pepee | ttr1, yes, the background is the same | 19:11 |
| pepee | debian | 19:12 |
| pepee | lol | 19:12 |
| quack | trijntje_netbook: But I haven't got that open | 19:12 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i mean all the commands of ubuntu still work there? all the documentation of ubuntu is still relavany thete? | 19:12 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: wificrusher:/usr/src/linux-2.6.37# cat .config | grep GSPCA -i | 19:12 |
| danub | hey all. anyone know of a decent network scanner like nessus but free? | 19:12 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: returns nothing lol | 19:12 |
| Jon30 | I am connected to another system using ssh. how do I disconnect? | 19:12 |
| pepee | ttr1, yes, except for the window manager and a lot of desktop programs... | 19:12 |
| danub | Jon30: type exit | 19:12 |
| jrib | Jon30: exit your shell | 19:12 |
| PeterNL | Jon30: or press ctrl-D | 19:13 |
| danst_ | Jon30: ^D | 19:13 |
| Jon30 | hmm didn't work. and i don't wanna close the window | 19:13 |
| erUSUL | danst_: grep -ci gspca 2.6.37/.config --> 37 | 19:13 |
| pepee | ttr1, anyway, you can intall whatever you want | 19:13 |
| Jon30 | ctrl D didn't work either | 19:13 |
| trijntje_netbook | quack, in that case I dont know, maybe cancel the upgrade and try again? | 19:13 |
| danst_ | Jon30: ps ax | grep ssh | 19:13 |
| danub | Jon30: typing 'exit' and hitting enter should exit | 19:13 |
| danst_ | Jon30: on local machine | 19:13 |
| Jon30 | exit didn't work | 19:13 |
| ttr1 | pepee: pepee: do they recognize wifi internet, wifi allinone orinter the same way? | 19:13 |
| sefz | anyone experienced with PPTPD ? I am not understanding the values i have to put to localip/remoteip on my .conf? it works but is not routing over the internet | 19:13 |
| danst_ | Jon30: and kill ssh process that you need | 19:13 |
| PeterNL | Jon30: there is no real harm in closing the window | 19:13 |
| Jon30 | yea i will just close the window then thanks | 19:13 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: but why | 19:14 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: I got this kernel from kernel.org | 19:14 |
| jrib | Jon30: you can hit enter, followed by '~.' without the quotes if you want to close the connection | 19:14 |
| pepee | ttr1, kinda, but they use different programs depending on what desktop manager you use | 19:14 |
| raven | gunzip backup.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sda does not work - why? | 19:14 |
| Blueleaf | look i know its stupid, i figured it out long ago on red hat but i cant remember/figue out how on ubuntu | 19:14 |
| erUSUL | danst_: how did you configured it? | 19:14 |
| Blueleaf | i just want it to start with number lock engaged | 19:14 |
| danub | can someone point me to a room for getting a vulnerability scanner similiar to nessus but free? | 19:14 |
| pepee | ttr1, you can configure your system completely | 19:14 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, in my ~/.profile it has the if [-d "$HOME/bin"]; then PATH = "$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi | 19:15 |
| NET||abuse | but i can't run stuff i put in there | 19:15 |
| PeterNL | raven: try gunzip backup.img.gz > /dev/sda | 19:15 |
| ttr1 | pepee: configure means? pls elaborate? | 19:15 |
| ronr__ | magicianlord: sorry for bugging you, just not sure if you saw my last response. | 19:15 |
| NET||abuse | i chmod +x it,, but is the .profile being executed? | 19:15 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: i don't know the specifics, and i don't see any specific reference to security issues, just that it is out of date | 19:15 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: uhh, just tar -xf kernelhurrdurr.tar.gz then got into it's dir and did make menuconfig then make and copied vmlinux to my server to boot over network using it | 19:15 |
| pepee | ttr1, right now I'm using lxde, I've used KDE, I removed a lot of programs and installed some other | 19:15 |
| magicianlord | ronr__: i didnt | 19:15 |
| jrib | NET||abuse: you need to login again after creating ~/ibn | 19:15 |
| jrib | NET||abuse: you need to login again after creating ~/bin | 19:15 |
| danub | NET||abuse: you could always add it to the global path if you want all users to have access to run the stuff (/etc/environment) | 19:15 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: I can show you .config file if it matters | 19:15 |
| ronr__ | magicianlord: and if I haven't done that already, any way to rescue? it seems that from the GRUB screen, if I choose the server kernel, it gives me the same error and if I choose the generic kernel, it loads up fine. | 19:16 |
| NET||abuse | jrib, i restart gnome-terminal, that's not enough? | 19:16 |
| magicianlord | quiescens: they say on the site that it's not proper security support | 19:16 |
| jrib | NET||abuse: no | 19:16 |
| ttr1 | pepee: i see. what is good in LXDE? | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | danst_: when you do make manuconfig you have to go to drivers/media or some such and enable the drivers there | 19:16 |
| NET||abuse | jrib, that's a pain. | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | danst_: it is easier if you just copy de ubuntu config from boot and do make oldconfig | 19:16 |
| raven | PeterNL, that now decompresses the file but does not write it on sda | 19:16 |
| magicianlord | ronr__: why are you choosing server kernel? are you on a desktop system | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | danst_: and even easier is to use the kernel-ppa ;P | 19:16 |
| pepee | ttr1, and I installed ubuntu long time ago... this is the same installed OS lol | 19:16 |
| PeterNL | raven: where does it write then? | 19:17 |
| danub | cant you do something like "PATH=/usr/bin;/script;export path"? | 19:17 |
| ffffff | hi | 19:17 |
| ronr__ | magicianlord: I don't know how it got installed. so I should remove the server kernel and it should boot up fine? | 19:17 |
| danub | and then he will have it for now till he restarts? | 19:17 |
| ffffff | I need some help plz! | 19:17 |
| pepee | ttr1, low resources consumptioon | 19:17 |

| raven | PeterNL what is that and how does the command will look like? | 19:19 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: I don't think there's much difference between compiling kernel downloaded from kernel.org in debian or ubuntu | 19:19 |

| pepee | ttr1, well, IIRC, edubuntu is "locked". you know, kids are curious :) | 19:19 |
| Cpt_Zyph | erUSUL hey its me again. (i ended up having to use a external monitor to see enough and properly install the drivers) just in case you remember me | 19:19 |
| magicianlord | ronr__: you could try remove that kernel, yes. but have a regular ubuntu iso cd or usb stick ready to reinstall if necessary | 19:20 |
| danst_ | erUSUL: I mean is it okay if Multimedia menu consists of absolutely nothing? | 19:20 |
| Blueleaf | oh well | 19:20 |
| jrib | PeterNL: how do I bake an apple pie? (using ubuntu) | 19:20 |
| erUSUL | ffffff: find out the exact fomrmat and filesystem of the imag file | 19:20 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: if there is a specific known issue you could check whether it has been dealt with, but a generic comment from one side or the other isn't going to help matters | 19:20 |

| PeterNL | !latest | magicianlord | 19:30 |
| ubottu | magicianlord: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 19:30 |
| magicianlord | how is it stability with insecurity? | 19:30 |

| disislobo | OK vbox it is. Thanks bachstudies and pepee. (This is to run Windows on Ubuntu virtually. Does that make a difference in your vote?) | 19:34 |
| pepee | Ibn_Ali_al-Turki, what if you run pardus and reinstall ubuntu from there? | 19:34 |
| magicianlord | PeterNL: i use that too | 19:34 |

| magicianlord | i think ubuntu should stop providing vlc in it's repos, so the team could provide a deb on the website that's current and secure | 19:35 |
| brontoeee | PeterNL, why would you need both? | 19:35 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: 1.1.5 is in natty, ubuntu's policy is not to update releases from one to another, bugfixes are backported when applicable and possible, if this isn't enough for you, you'll have to update manually from a different source, or something to that effect | 19:35 |
| === ass is now known as hole_ | ||

| PeterNL | brontoeee: I need at least one OS for every machine, right? And I like trying everything | 19:35 |
| pepee | magicianlord, that's what patches are for | 19:35 |
| magicianlord | it should already be in 10.04 and 10.10 repos | 19:36 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: do you have a specific security fix that has not been backported to the 1.1.4 which is currently in 10.10? | 19:36 |
| PeterNL | Well, not everything, but lots of things. | 19:36 |
| brontoeee | PeterNL, ok. just courious what could debian do... | 19:36 |

| bhuwan | hello, builtin speaker is not working..... i checked the sound preferences too.... only head phone is working.... i am confused | 19:37 |
| PeterNL | brontoeee: it's very much like ubuntu,. but it has newer versions of most packages, and a more basic installer (the same as ubuntu server). Afaik ubuntu is directly based of it. | 19:37 |
| magicianlord | pepee: i dont have time for that | 19:37 |
| hole_ | i will be after i prepare a usb stick | 19:37 |
| robert503 | It will also do this if I do "sudo startx", but when I press the power button it shows a window talking about not being able to load the devices, and asks me if I want to run it in a low graphics mode... but just resets, due to the pressing of the power button | 19:37 |

| disislobo | pepee and bachstudies: The latest version of vbox isn't in the repos. So should I trust the repos only or is it safe to download from vbox's website? | 19:38 |
| bhuwan | anyone can help me how to fix this? | 19:38 |
| magicianlord | hole_: the usb stick doesnt have to be prepared in any specific way. just install to it without persistance. then you can partition your hdd if install the actual os | 19:38 |
| PeterNL | disislobo: vbox has it's own repos somewhere, ask in #virtualbox | 19:38 |
| brontoeee | disislobo, vbox site version is non-free i belive, has more features | 19:38 |
| pepee | disislobo, I'm using vbox from the website | 19:38 |
| bp7lax | is their a PPS repository file for google chrome? | 19:39 |
| pepee | using 3.2 | 19:39 |

| PeterNL | VBox OSE has VNC, PUEL has RDP and USB support | 19:39 |
| dsevigny | Loading a vbox VM on start-up freezes my machine on start-up. Can't even ssh into it.... Is there a safe-mode boot so that I can fix it without a complete reinstall? | 19:39 |
| disislobo | Thanks all! | 19:40 |
| magicianlord | pepee: what is that | 19:40 |
| PeterNL | dsevigny: does GRUb work? hold ctrl while booting to see the grub menu, and select recovery mode | 19:40 |
| ffffff | ey guys I did file path/to/file and it returned back data | 19:40 |
| ffffff | what is this supposed to mean? | 19:41 |
| dsevigny | Thanks. Grub does indeed work. | 19:41 |
| PeterNL | ffffff: unknown file. But not text based in any way | 19:41 |
| dsevigny | PeterNL: Will SSH load on recovery mode? | 19:41 |
| PeterNL | dsevigny: afaik not | 19:41 |
| ffffff | so what now? | 19:41 |
| ffffff | how can I view the contained files | 19:41 |
| PeterNL | ffffff: What do you want to do with your file? | 19:41 |
| PeterNL | ffffff: What do you know about the file | 19:41 |
| ffffff | I just want to view whats inside and edit it | 19:42 |
| ffffff | I know its a linksys firmware | 19:42 |
| EvilPhoenix | uh... | 19:42 |
| PeterNL | Ah... | 19:42 |
| EvilPhoenix | ffffff: you realize that the firmwares are usually encrypted or smth right? | 19:42 |
| ffffff | I have seen some posts around the web about mounting it and viewing the files | 19:42 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: i still don't know which issue you're talking about | 19:42 |
| pepee | ffffff, hd -v 'file' | less | 19:42 |
| PeterNL | ffffff: read those, and follow their steps | 19:42 |
| ffffff | whats that pepee | 19:42 |
| ass | what sd* is usually a usb stick | 19:43 |
| pepee | hexdump of the file | 19:43 |
| PeterNL | ass: the first unused one | 19:43 |
| magicianlord | ok | 19:43 |
| sveinse | Is there a function for making a list distinct: I have a list a:=b c d b Is there a function to return "b c d" (the unique items)? | 19:43 |
| PeterNL | ass: it should be mounted automatically | 19:43 |
| === ass is now known as hole_ | ||

| PeterNL | sveinse: sort -u | 19:44 |
| magicianlord | at which point does ti become unsafe to use an ubuntu release and it'stime to upgrade to the next one? | 19:44 |
| hole_ | the reason is ubuntu wont show my flash drive | 19:44 |
| Tcepsa | I've managed to mess up my main box badly enough that I can't log in to Gnome. It looks like it's a path/permissions problem; details forthcoming | 19:44 |
| pepee | dsevigny, you can try using netconsole to see the system logs | 19:44 |
| hole_ | not ubuntu i mean unetbootin | 19:44 |
| PeterNL | !lts | magicianlord | 19:44 |
| jenka | Is there any fix for ati+wine+opengl in ubuntu 10.10 ?! | 19:44 |
| ubottu | magicianlord: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 19:44 |
| pepee | dsevigny, http://www.google.com/search?q=netconsole&num=50 | 19:44 |
| bp7lax | does google chrome have a PPS repository file or a APT line that anyobody knows of? | 19:44 |
| PeterNL | !support | magicianlord | 19:44 |
| hole_ | the reason is UNETBOOTIN wont show my flash drive | 19:44 |
| ubottu | magicianlord: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com | 19:44 |
| Tcepsa | text from .xsession-errors: /etc/dgm/Xsession 176: ls: not found | 19:44 |
| PeterNL | Wait, that;s not what i meant | 19:44 |
| sveinse | PeterNL: Sorry, I forgot to say its in a makefile | 19:45 |
| Tcepsa | /etc/gdm/Xsession: ssh-agent not found! | 19:45 |
| magicianlord | i thought lts was 2 years | 19:45 |
| xangua | bp7lax: chromium is already in repositories and is open source | 19:45 |
| Tcepsa | /etc/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: gnome-session | 19:45 |
| Tcepsa | exec 1: gnome-session: not found | 19:45 |
| PeterNL | magicianlord: 1,5 years for regular releases, 3 years for LTS desktop releases and 5 years for LTS server releases | 19:45 |
| bp7lax | xangua: i accidentaly deleted my repositories | 19:45 |
| Tcepsa | I get the login screen, attempt to login, the screen flashes and returns me to the login screen again | 19:45 |
| magicianlord | PeterNL: then how come last one was 8.04 and now it's 10.04? that's tow year | 19:46 |
| hole_ | maybe sdb1? | 19:46 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: because 8.04 is still supported for another year after 10.04 is out | 19:46 |
| Tcepsa | Furthermore, when I SSH in or log in from a tty console, I get the error "-bash: /home/tcepsa/.bashrc: Permission denied" but if I then run bash from the subsequent prompt, it works fine. | 19:46 |
| ffffff | hello, about the firmware thing. I found tomato which is a hacked firmware, and I have the source code as well, would that mean I can create my own firmware and upload it successfully or I need to know the encryption method etc | 19:47 |
| Tcepsa | Any ideas on what's actually broken and how to fix it here? | 19:47 |
| PeterNL | magicianlord: there is a regular release every 6 months, and a LTS release every 2 years. LTS releases are supported for 3 years on the desktopa and 5 years on the server | 19:47 |
| phong_ | hi guys | 19:47 |
| PeterNL | magicianlord: only the regular releases (avary 6 months) are supported for 1,5 years | 19:47 |

| phong_ | is it posible to install office 2010 on ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| xangua | !wine | phong_ | 19:48 |
| ubottu | phong_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 19:48 |
| pepee | phong_, check the wine db | 19:48 |
| PeterNL | phong_: no, but you could use Openoffice.org, which is just as good | 19:48 |
| ffffff | plz anyone?> | 19:48 |
| magicianlord | quiescens: thanks. ok. i thought the support for the old one stopped | 19:48 |
| PeterNL | (wine probably doesn't do new office versions) | 19:48 |
| phong_ | PeterNL, i dont like openoffice ...prefer real office from ms | 19:48 |
| pepee | ffffff, yes, if you have the source code, you can do whatever you want | 19:48 |
| rascal999 | can't log into ssh box. Get this message pam_env(sshd:setcred): Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory | 19:48 |
| pepee | but BE CAREFUL | 19:49 |
| ffffff | thx pepee for ur help and everything!!!! see ya around ! | 19:49 |
| PeterNL | phong_: oo.o is just as real as mso. Claiming that one is "not the real thing" is very insulting. | 19:49 |
| pepee | lol | 19:49 |
| phong_ | lol | 19:49 |
| PeterNL | phong_: if you really want MS office you should buy windows. | 19:49 |
| phong_ | i have windows | 19:49 |
| phong_ | ;) | 19:49 |
| pepee | phong_, then delete ubuntu | 19:49 |

| brontoeee | phong_, gimp | 19:52 |
| PeterNL | phong_: The GIMP | 19:52 |
| phong_ | and antivirus for linux? | 19:52 |
| brontoeee | phong_, you dont need one | 19:52 |
| phong_ | i'm more familiar with photoshop | 19:52 |
| izuzizu | antivirus? useless in linux | 19:52 |
| phong_ | why not need one? | 19:52 |
| brontoeee | phong_, cos linux is that cool | 19:52 |
| phong_ | oh | 19:52 |
| PeterNL | phong_: ClamAV (altough you will only need it on a server with windows clients :) ) | 19:52 |
| phong_ | i'm not understandingwhy not need one...why windows doesn't do like linux ;) | 19:53 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: on top of that, VideoLAN-SA-1007 which is slated for 1.1.6 (which is technically not out yet), has been fixed in 10.04's 1.0.6 as well as 10.10's 1.1.4 | 19:53 |
| phong_ | i wish windows does the same thing | 19:53 |
| PeterNL | I have used clamav on a live cd to fix a windows machine. In the end the fix was to install ubuntu :D | 19:53 |
| PeterNL | brontoeee: no-name cheap-ass player. But it comes with a manual on cd (pdf). | 19:53 |
| magicianlord | quiescens: my issue with 1.06 was shoutcast doesn work anymroe, so i upped it to 1.1.5. unless there is a way to remove that plugin and add icecast to it | 19:54 |
| brontoeee | PeterNL, just check what they mean with mp4, is that AVC or h.264 or something else? | 19:54 |
| magicianlord | but hopefully there wont be any issues using 1.1.5 from the repos | 19:54 |
| PeterNL | brontoeee: doesn't say | 19:54 |
| quiescens | magicianlord: i wasn't aware shoutcast was reenabled even in 1.1.5 | 19:54 |
| EnergySpirit | Hi, how come if i have no programs running, my hard drive is still writing/reading? (i can see the light occasionally flash). how do i make it so it doesnt write to the hard drive? | 19:55 |
| PeterNL | it just says "MP3/WMA / ADPCM / WAV/ APE / FLAC,WMV/RM/RMVB/AVI(Xvid)/MP4/FLV,JPEG/BMP/GIF" | 19:55 |
| magicianlord | quiescens: it isnt reenabled. its just replaced by icecast and shoutcast is removed. i dont know ow toremove shoutcast plugin from 1.0.6 and add icecast. if i did, i wouldnt needto upgrade to 1.1.5 | 19:56 |

| brontoeee | PeterNL, try with handbrake, use ipod profile which will give you baseline h.264 mp4, that might work, if not use xvid, dunno the gui that would encode to xvid avi on ubuntu thought | 19:57 |

| EnigmaticCoder | erUSUL: Any suggestions on choosing which to synchronize? | 20:16 |

| EnigmaticCoder | erUSUL: Will do. :) | 20:17 |
| flexy | pepee: might be. Then again my friend says this cpu should not be able to change frequencies independently... both cores should have the same frequency all times... I'm confused :) | 20:18 |

| morsik | hello | 21:05 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, do you know offhand where that feature is at to disable? | 21:05 |
| morsik | i | 21:05 |
| brontoeee | Roasted, let me check ... | 21:05 |
| morsik | 'm on gentoo, but i have problem with notify-osd which was designed for ubuntu, well, maybe i can ask for help here | 21:06 |
| brontoeee | Roasted, video > post processing | 21:06 |
| morsik | i just compiled latest stable version (and bzr code), but notification doesn't looks like in screenshots | 21:06 |
| DarkSkyGhost | And enabling "skip in-loop deblocking filter" should help, maybe? | 21:06 |
| brontoeee | DarkSkyGhost, yes, thats avc specific | 21:06 |
| morsik | i see rectangle without rounded corners, without shadows and with wrong margins... i have compiz enabled | 21:07 |
| lancel | santosh, I have transferred files between two machines via ssh and ftp using temporary dns given by whatsmyip | 21:07 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, ha, already was disabled. Dangit. | 21:07 |
| Roasted | I guess I should just accept that my netbook SUCKS with video playback in all regards. | 21:07 |
| djsampz | I'm having trouble with my internet using ubuntu 10.10 I had it hooked up to a router at my sisters and it worked fine I got my own apartment hooked it straight up to the cable modem via broadcom ethernet card and it wouldnt get an ip or anything so I had to hook up usb which works but only at 5-7mbit when I have 15mbit so I installed another ethernet card plugged it in and it works but was only getting like 100kbit extremely slow I opened network tools and r | 21:08 |
| djsampz | an a ping on google while i was running a bandwidth test and it took off to 20mbit stayed there for about 5 min then dropped off to 100kbit again so i clicked on eth1 restarted the connection started off slow again ran network tools ping took off stayed fast for 10min then dropped off to nothing anyone have any ideas why I cant get my internet to work correctly on usb or 2 ethernet cards | 21:08 |
| izinucs | what the preferred library for 32bit compatability on a 64 bit install? ia32-libs or lib32stdc++6 ?? | 21:08 |
| morsik | well.. this doesn't look correct: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/01/23/2011-01-23-220633_1920x1080_scrot.png | 21:08 |
| DarkSkyGhost | I bet netbooks weren't designed to play HD videos... | 21:09 |
| Roasted | DarkSkyGhost, not trying to play HD videos. THATS the problem. | 21:10 |
| DarkSkyGhost | ...darn. Sorry. | 21:10 |
| Roasted | DarkSkyGhost, just trying to play a low res concert, and it sucks. Badly. | 21:10 |
| brontoeee | DarkSkyGhost, Roasted my netbook can play h.264 fullHD videos, but i took every step at buying time, since video is my proffesion ... | 21:10 |
| Roasted | Its just irritating because VLC works great if its not an AVI. But Movie Player only works with AVI without skipping.... | 21:10 |
| DarkSkyGhost | O_O fullHD, cool. | 21:10 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, my netbook was given to me for free.... :P | 21:10 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, so Im just trying to make work with what I got | 21:10 |
| brontoeee | Roasted, ok then :) | 21:10 |
| tim42 | I know I must be missing something really simple, but I can't get my wireless up. It's rtl8081 and I've already been down the wireless troubleshoot guide page. The driver seems to be present, but it just won't scan channels. I know what my network settings are, so I tried to specify all the parameters, but still nothing. | 21:11 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, I just wish I could play concerts in the garage when Im working out, but its stupid to have 1 player per video format type. | 21:11 |

| jf__ | There is any way to disable metacity focus stealing prevention? | 21:11 |
| brontoeee | Roasted, how about smplayer (a gui for mplayer)? | 21:11 |
| Roasted | smplayer? hm let me check | 21:12 |
| DarkSkyGhost | Median, is it turned on in "startup applications"? | 21:12 |
| MC_Truth | . | 21:12 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, I just have to wonder whats up with VLC to do this. Is it because VLC is more processor intensive and the atom can't handle it, or what? | 21:12 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, with how many people own netbooks I just find it hard to believe the hardware would be overlooked and lacking support. | 21:13 |
| brontoeee | Roasted, i dont have that behaviour, avi plays fine with vlc here | 21:13 |
| Median | DarkSkyGhost: Hm. Will check tomorrow. | 21:13 |
| Median | Thanks. | 21:13 |
| Roasted | brontoeee, and youre on 10.10 desktop edition with a regular 1.6 atom? | 21:13 |
| Median | Is it usually turned on there DarkSkyGhost? | 21:13 |
| brontoeee | yes Roasted | 21:14 |
| DarkSkyGhost | Nooo idea. Don't remember how it was in the beginning. | 21:14 |
| Median | Ok. | 21:14 |

| bucky | Roasted, do you have avifile-vorbis-plugin installed? | 21:16 |
| DarkSkyGhost | Roasted, tried defaulting vlc setting? | 21:16 |
| DarkSkyGhost | settings* | 21:16 |
| Roasted | DarkSkyGhost, default? I never changed anything to begin with. | 21:16 |
| Roasted | bucky, let me check | 21:16 |
| Roasted | bucky, no I dont. what relevance does that file have? | 21:17 |
| Roasted | bucky, I also dont have it installed on my desktop that worked fine. | 21:17 |
| bucky | Roasted, look at the description of it in Synaptic | 21:17 |
| Red-Raven | can anyone help me set up an SSH server in ubuntu desktop? i've done most of it but i stilll can't connect from a different local computer. | 21:18 |
| guntbert | Red-Raven: you can connect from localhost? | 21:18 |
| Red-Raven | on the server machine yes. | 21:19 |
| brontoeee | Red-Raven, port 22 must be linked to server | 21:20 |
| guntbert | !who | Red-Raven | 21:21 |
| ubottu | Red-Raven: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:21 |
| bucky | Red-Raven, port forwarding in your router/modem/switch | 21:21 |
| Roasted | bucky, oddly, after installing this file, I have yet to hear an audio skip in VLC with an AVI file. What the? Whats that little package do? I mean I dont have it on my desktop, so it must do something for lower performing machines. | 21:21 |
| bucky | Roasted, did you look at the description of it in Synaptic | 21:21 |
| Roasted | bucky, yes, I did. | 21:21 |
| guntbert | Red-Raven: is there a firewall enabled on the server? | 21:21 |
| Roasted | which is why I still asked you.... | 21:21 |
| Red-Raven | bucky, yes i have port forwarded port 22 | 21:21 |
| bucky | Red-Raven, you on the same sub net | 21:22 |
| Roasted | GAH | 21:22 |
| Roasted | nevermind. just skipped. | 21:22 |

| pookey | hi all - potentially stupid question... if ssh is started by upstart, why is there an init.d script for it? this of course applies to many other services | 21:23 |
| jrib | pookey: did you try reading it :) | 21:23 |
| Red-Raven | bucky, if you meant are the two PCs on the same rueter then yes. | 21:23 |
| pookey | jrib: the init.d script? | 21:24 |
| brontoeee | Red-Raven, can u ping the other machine? | 21:24 |
| Red-Raven | ping <ip of other machine>? | 21:24 |
| jrib | pookey: yeah, read the gdm one for example | 21:25 |
| brontoeee | Red-Raven, yes | 21:25 |
| pookey | jrib: I opened it and searched for 'upstart' asusming there would be a comment if it was checking to see if upsart had already done something... I'll read it all the way though though :) | 21:25 |
| TomV-415 | I'm giving up on 10.10, since I can't seem to get the graphics to work for my nvidia Geforce4... What's a simple way to roll back to 10.04? Just backup my /home dir? | 21:25 |
| pookey | jrib: gdm is a symlink, ssh isn't | 21:25 |
| Hilikus | can someone tell me if in their system /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic-pae/kernel/sound/modules/ snd-hda-intel.ko is a symlink and to what please | 21:25 |
| Red-Raven | bucky, yes. | 21:25 |
| Christiannn | hello? | 21:26 |
| Lucase | tomV-415: I have a GeForce4 me too and i gived up on 10.10 before. | 21:26 |
| Christiannn | configure: error: cannot find OpenSSL or Libgcrypt, what is this can anyone help me' | 21:26 |
| jrib | pookey: it probably should be | 21:26 |
| Lucase | !info OpenSSL | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Package OpenSSL does not exist in maverick | 21:26 |
| Christiannn | lol | 21:26 |
| TomV-415 | Lucase: quite a waste of time, huh? | 21:26 |
| Christiannn | !info Libgcrypt | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Package Libgcrypt does not exist in maverick | 21:27 |
| Christiannn | :) | 21:27 |
| jrib | pookey: that I know of, it serves no purpose | 21:27 |
| Christiannn | i alredy insalled openssl pack | 21:27 |
| Christiannn | [Lucase] | 21:27 |
| pookey | jrib: it seems a little odd, because /etc/defaults/ssh still exists, and gives the impression you could use it, but if ssh is started via upstart, that's not the case | 21:27 |
| Lucase | TomV-415: that's why I always use LTS versions | 21:27 |
| pookey | jrib: well, then... it's existance I'd really consider a bug - it's just confusing if it's not needed... .do you agree? at least.. .I'm confused ;) | 21:28 |
| TomV-415 | Lucase: Yeah, I followed the suggested workarounds here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/626974 but even after installing the fixes, it was not any better.. Always had to launch via recovery mode, and low grphics.. to get in. | 21:28 |
| * jrib nods at pookey. It should just be a symlink to upstart-job like gdm I think. Let's check the tracker... | 21:28 | |
| Lucase | TomV: well yeah if you back up on yout homed dir you downgrade then its okay. | 21:28 |
| c3l | ive got a problem with flash playing stuttery sometimes, ubuntu 10.10 on a new laptop, got ubuntu-restricted-extras installed. what could it be, how to get it to flow better? | 21:28 |
| user____ | I have a sierra wireless usb modem for gsm connections. It used to work ok, but the upgrade to 10.10 seems to have broken something. Seems to be looking for it on the wrong usb port among other things. Its actually on usb0 | 21:28 |
| pookey | jrib: I'll look too :) | 21:28 |
| user____ | selecting it in network-manager yields simply gsm network disconnected | 21:29 |
| Lucase | c3l: How did you install flash | 21:29 |
| brontoeee | Red-Raven, what error do you get when : ssh user@ip is launced? | 21:29 |
| Lucase | c3l: are you talking about FlashPlayer Plugin ? | 21:29 |

| tux444 | hi | 21:32 |
| jrib | pookey: all I could get out of the comments is that the upstart maintainer requested the change not be made (#4), but I don't know why | 21:32 |
| pookey | jrib: hm.. odd | 21:32 |
| === user____ is now known as Induane | ||
| jrib | pookey: or maybe I misread. Maybe the maintainer only asked that /etc/default/ not be used and instead configuration happens directly in the upstart script. That probably makes more sense but provides little insight as to why the sysv init script remains | 21:32 |
| pookey | jrib: without meaning to knock ho wthings are done, and I know it's open source and etc. etc... but it seems odd that upstart has been partly introduced for so long.... and it's still in a start of confusion | 21:32 |
| Induane | when I try a direct ppp connection it uses usbtty0 anyways. network-manager seems to be using the wrong device? | 21:33 |
| nofrillz | Can anyone tell me what ID my mouse is from the xinput list? (http://pastebin.com/L9cVXVLL) | 21:33 |

| lilith | does using the purge arguement clean out a preference file? | 21:34 |
| Lucase | nofrillz: No sorry about that. but I think KTorrent is working great | 21:34 |

| nofrillz | ovidiuul, check this thread | 22:00 |
| nofrillz | http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/322429/android-on-omnia-ii-i8000/ | 22:00 |

| nofrillz | but its a linux driver for USB | 22:00 |
| itaylor57 | Jon30: system76 | 22:00 |
| Jon30 | never heard of system76. is it something new? | 22:01 |
| ovidiuul | nofrillz: that is how to install android on omnia but i'm not looking for how to install android, but how to copy files from and to the device | 22:01 |
| Red-Raven | can someone help me with an ssh server? i can connect with ssh -v localhost fine on the server rig, but my laptop on the same reuter can't. i get a port 22 connection refused error. | 22:01 |
| itaylor57 | Jon30: system76.com | 22:01 |
| jrib | Red-Raven: how are you attempting to connect /exactly/? | 22:01 |
| Red-Raven | jrib, same command. | 22:02 |
| neyhay | Jon30: system76 sells computers with ubuntu preinstalled, otherwise asus has good support from my experience | 22:02 |
| jrib | Red-Raven: ah, well you don't want to connect to "localhost" from the laptop, you want to use the local ip for the server | 22:02 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | I have a few... questions. | 22:02 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | When I installed Ubuntu at first, I did it with the liveCD | 22:03 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | After the installation | 22:03 |
| Red-Raven | =jrib, so ssh <ip of server>? | 22:03 |
| Lucase | PsPhaker_ what version is on your livecd | 22:03 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | A few lines of text were going down the screen | 22:03 |
| jrib | Red-Raven: yes, use "ifconfig" on the server to find it | 22:03 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | 10.10 | 22:03 |
| jrib | !enter | PsPhaKeR_ | 22:04 |
| ubottu | PsPhaKeR_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:04 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | After a few lines went down the screen, my liveCD ejected and about 20 lines of errors went down the screen lightning fast! What does that mean? | 22:04 |
| Jon30 | which laptop brand is best supported by linux? from the known brands like: hp, acer, dell, lenovo, sony etc | 22:04 |
| jrib | Jon30: well there's dell.com/ubuntu | 22:05 |
| wmorri | PsPhaker: are you able to post any of the lines to paste.ubuntu.com? | 22:05 |
| nitocris | get samsung | 22:05 |
| Red-Raven | jon30, from personal experience HP works, but im not sure if its the best. | 22:05 |
| nitocris | personal expirience | 22:05 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | wmorri: no, it only happens after the installation and i cant copy and paste them | 22:05 |
| wmorri | PsPhaker: do you know what any of them are? | 22:06 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | I have to force shut down my computer (hold the power button down for a few seconds) | 22:06 |
| jrib | Jon30: although it seems like that's dying down actually | 22:06 |
| nitocris | any astrological program working on 10.10? | 22:06 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | wmorri: nnot a clue, although I know for a fact that they were errors | 22:06 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | and a lot of them at that | 22:06 |
| aeon-ltd | Jon30: its not brand biased in much, well besides a lot of people work for IBM support in linux, just search around in forums for people with the hardware you want with related problems (something along the lines of 'ubuntu hardwarename forum problems') | 22:06 |
| Red-Raven | nitocris, sry. i have (admittedly) horrible spelling. | 22:06 |
| husr | it seems like firewire digital video is a moving target. I can use dvgrab still but how do I use dvconnect or some other util to output with /dev/fw0 or /dev/fw1? | 22:07 |
| grandmaster | ok i need help im a noob anybody up for it? | 22:07 |
| wmorri | PsPhaker: it could be a bad install, have you tried to install again, with the same cd or a new one? | 22:07 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | wmorri: with a new one 2 different times same thing | 22:07 |
| Red-Raven | grandmaster, might want to specify the question first. | 22:08 |
| aeon-ltd | Jon30: i would say though, stay away from brands/models that include a lot of windows media dedicated keys, 1. they may not work from the start 2. its a hassle to map them all | 22:08 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | Maybe it is a security that ejects the cd and then the very last touched of the install are not completed | 22:08 |
| grandmaster | i just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 and i am trying to get some themes when i copy stuff off the net to terminal it installs but nothing opens | 22:08 |
| brontoeee | Jon30, pick a model, then check internals and how they are supported in ubuntu, wifi, gpu, audio | 22:08 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | I installed linux mint on another compter of mine and I got the text but it shutdown and rebooted without all the errors | 22:09 |
| wmorri | PsPhaker: it could be a number of things, without any error messages it is hard to tell. | 22:09 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | I wanted to know all that because I am re installing Ubuntu | 22:09 |
| aeon-ltd | grandmaster: yeah, because your theme manager will handle the rest, themes are installed to /usr/share/themes | 22:09 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | How can I back up all my stuff? | 22:09 |
| grandmaster | ok but when this stuff installs through terminal where can i find it in folders? | 22:10 |
| wmorri | PsPhaker: in windows there are a lot of different programs, I haven't really used windows in a while though | 22:10 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | Not Windows | 22:10 |
| PsPhaKeR_ | I am on Ubuntu | 22:10 |

| Gnea | SAM__: if you can't access the system directly, it's doubtful that there's much you can do for it other than live with a split partition/file for swap, which isn't too bad, but why do you need so much swap in the first place? | 22:28 |

| Pici | LuciferDarkWatch: don't write 'do', its not valid in that location. The rest of the command is fine, but make sure that you replace [location] with your device's name/. | 23:18 |

| agentgasmask | Hi. When I vnc into one of my machines, I get a frame of the screen that is 10 minutes old and it doesn't update. However I'm able to control the vncserver. Any hints? | 23:20 |
| yeats | c3l: which package? | 23:21 |
| abstrakt | there's a way to do this with uid= and gid= but I forget the syntax and I can't find it in the man page or on google | 23:21 |
| Pici | c3l: Purge will never remove config files in your user's home. | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: what filesystem? | 23:21 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, vboxsf | 23:21 |
| c3l | yeats: supercollider (not in any ubuntu repo) | 23:21 |
| yeats | c3l: installed from a .deb? | 23:22 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: ask in #vbox ? | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, the command the "works" for now, is sudo mount -t vboxsf nameofmyshare /mnt/vbox_share | 23:22 |
| c3l | Pici: oh, thanks for the heads upp, ill take a look in ~ | 23:22 |
| c3l | yeats: no, added its repo | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, it's not a vbox specific command | 23:22 |
| Preston | what is input# | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | this is an ubuntu host inside vbox | 23:22 |
| yeats | c3l: I see | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, that command above works, it just gives the perms to root for all files | 23:22 |
| coz_ | c3l, did you compile this? | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | I need to give perms to a different user | 23:22 |
| abstrakt | there is a way, i forget the syntax | 23:23 |
| abstrakt | I don't see it in the man page and I can't find a command example on google anywhere | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: but the options a filesystem accept are specific. « man -k vboxfs » returns nothing in my system ( i do not use vbox ) | 23:23 |
| c3l | coz_: no, simply added the repo manually | 23:23 |
| CJack | counter-strike 1.6 extremely laggy on 10.10 gnome, on 8.04 it works great. help please. | 23:23 |

| abstrakt | erUSUL, these options are not specific to the filesystem, you can use uid and gid for any file system | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: wrong | 23:24 |
| nimrod10 | CJack, graphics drivers ? stop compiz ? | 23:24 |

| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: so keyboard issue still didn't get fixed? | 23:33 |
| nimrod10 | CJack, I've ran out of ideas, but I bet the problem are you graphics drivers | 23:33 |
| CJack | <nimrod10> is there any way to reinstall them? | 23:34 |
| danst_ | CJack: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils | 23:34 |
| danst_ | CJack: then paste your "glxinfo" command output somewhere | 23:34 |
| SAM__ | are there any boot time changes required to be carried out just after using gparted? | 23:34 |
| nimrod10 | danst_, shouldn't CJack use the nvidia drivers ? is mesa enough ? | 23:34 |
| LuciferDarkWatch | danst_ no keyboard still same problem, it was working before i edited grub default, it work fine until bootloader starts then keyboard is like its dead nothing works on it | 23:35 |

| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: boot your livecd | 23:37 |

| nimrod10 | c3l, there must be a way in apt-get , maybe a --force switch | 23:37 |
| LuciferDarkWatch | danst_ livecd booted up and running | 23:37 |
| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: then open terminal and do "sudo fdisk -l", then paste that somewhere | 23:37 |
| uninst_acc | Can anyone help me, I uninstalled my network-manager-gnome, how do I connect to the internet another way? | 23:38 |
| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: it will show your disks, partitions, etc., so I can determine which one should we mount to fix your grub configuration file | 23:38 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: wired/wireless? | 23:38 |
| nimrod10 | uninst_acc, use cable , use wicd .... | 23:38 |
| th0r | uninst_acc: install wicd? | 23:38 |
| uninst_acc | I can't I can't open a conenction | 23:38 |
| uninst_acc | I just need to open a conenction | 23:38 |
| CJack | <nimrod10> , [sudo apt-get install nvidia-current] this helped me :) now drivers works well :) | 23:39 |
| th0r | uninst_acc: look at ifup and ifdown, and iwconfig | 23:39 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: could you describe the type of connection you use | 23:39 |
| nimrod10 | sweet CJack , I thought that yuo might be missing the drivers :) | 23:39 |
| uninst_acc | I have a wired connection, but it's not connected to anything right now | 23:39 |
| nimrod10 | uninst_acc, in a root command line type dhclient eth0 | 23:40 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: if you get ip automatically, plug in your ethernet cable, list /sbin/ifconfig for interfaces and do "sudo dhclient interface" | 23:40 |
| uninst_acc | Okay, thanks | 23:40 |
| uninst_acc | I have another question, I have a hardware wireless switch, but for some reason it stopped working, it works fine in Win7, so it's not broken, but it doesn't work in Ubuntu | 23:41 |
| splnet | DexterF: which version? I just downloaded latest version of vmplayer with no problems | 23:41 |
| DexterF | splnet: workstation, nit player | 23:41 |
| DexterF | not | 23:41 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: how do you test it? | 23:41 |
| DexterF | splnet: ah, need patching for .32, nvm | 23:41 |
| uninst_acc | I boot into Win7 and it toggles the wireless functionality properly | 23:41 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: oh, I mean how do you know that nothing happens when you switch on/off in ubuntu | 23:42 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: try douing sudo iwlist scan | 23:42 |
| LuciferDarkWatch | danst_ here are results Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 262 2873 20972544 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2873 15927 104856255 83 Linux /dev/sda3 15927 28982 104856576 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 28982 30402 11408384 82 Linux swap / Solaris | 23:42 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: with switch turned on | 23:42 |
| uninst_acc | Well, when I had the network-manager applet, when I pressed the button, the LED stayed red and the network-manager applet said that wireless is disabled by a hardware switch | 23:43 |
| uninst_acc | No, the switch is off by default and I can't turn it on | 23:43 |
| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: sudo mkdir /mnt/test1 | 23:43 |
| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test1 | 23:43 |
| danst_ | LuciferDarkWatch: ls /mnt/test1 and tell me if that your root linux partition (I suppose that /boot is on your root partition) | 23:44 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: oh why don't you try doing iwlist scan | 23:45 |
| uninst_acc | danst_: What does iwlist scan do? | 23:46 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: type "sudo iwconfig", there should be your wireless adapter, so after that you could type "sudo ifconfig interfacename up" where interfacename is something like wlan0, ath0, etc, depending on iwconfig output | 23:46 |
| LuciferDarkWatch | danst_ Yes it appears to be root | 23:47 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: makes your adapter search for access points | 23:47 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: it should list them if everything works fine | 23:47 |
| uninst_acc | danst_; okay, i'll boot into ubuntu and try those things | 23:47 |
| ex0a | how can i make my ntfs partition's binaries executable? the partition was mounted automatically so i'm not sure where those settings are | 23:47 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: oh wait | 23:47 |
| uninst_acc | Yes? | 23:48 |
| danst_ | uninst_acc: if there will be any errors on ifconfig interface up, type "dmesg" and paste somewhere lines that are related to your wireless adapter | 23:48 |
| uninst_acc | Okay | 23:48 |
| danst_ | if there would be any | 23:48 |

| virtus | abstrakt: Hmm? | 23:56 |
| abstrakt | virtus, or just compile from source if no one has made a backport for you yet | 23:56 |
