| alfred | anyone got a tutorials how to move website from a server to ubuntu server? | 00:00 |
| xorwhy | OK this is perplexing. I was recording my desktop using recordmydesktop (in terminal) at 60FPS and it was perfect. I rebooted my computer, and now with the same command its choppy. | 00:00 |

| pooky | magicianlord: I hit alt-4 on the keypad and my windws snaps to the ledge of the closest thing left... a little faster than alt-f7, left left left.... | 00:00 |
| Lowpass | join /#Ejdesgaard | 00:00 |
| d4rkh4v0k1 | i guess not | 00:00 |
| alfred | brontoeee, I am looking for tutorials how to do that... | 00:00 |
| chaospsychex | how do i close compiz so i get the buttons back | 00:00 |
| d4rkh4v0k1 | you are good at helping people I'm impressed ejv | 00:00 |
| magicianlord | chaospsychex: you have to resize them | 00:01 |
| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: i try my best :p | 00:01 |
| magicianlord | pooky: i can see how that's useful | 00:01 |
| chaospsychex | i don't know how to use compiz, how do i close it | 00:01 |
| brontoeee | alfred, there is gazillion ways on how to run a webpage, so be a lil more specific | 00:01 |
| morphyeys | magicianlord, where in /boot | 00:01 |
| chaospsychex | is there a command to close it? | 00:01 |
| morphyeys | magicianlord, and which file can you tell me please :) | 00:01 |
| magicianlord | chaospsychex: go into appearance settings | 00:01 |
| xorwhy | chaospsychex: if you're using gnome, metacity --replace | 00:01 |
| ejv | alfred: i suggest you successfully get apache2,php,perl,etc. running on the new server, then rsync your files from the old one to the new one | 00:01 |
| pooky | d4rkh4v0k1: I tried your suggestion, and got a lot of articles about enabling compiz and using docks :P | 00:01 |
| alfred | brontoeee, I have a server, and I want to move my sites from that X server to a new server | 00:01 |
| magicianlord | morphyeys: you have to update one file and then run grub-update indirectly. it's not that simple, depending on what you want to do? | 00:02 |
| pooky | the most eyecandy I do now is occasionally fire up xcompmgr for drop shadows, then I realize it's leaving artifacts everywhere and kill it | 00:02 |
| alfred | ejv , yes I got all setup in the new server. but I need CLI tuts how to do that | 00:02 |
| pooky | :D | 00:02 |
| d4rkh4v0k1 | I use to geek out on all that stuff : ) my co-workers would make fun of me for how crazy my computer was | 00:02 |
| ejv | alfred: and god forbid you're managing actual customers, make sure you have backups, and you notify them of any outages | 00:02 |
| magicianlord | 48 seconds to debian rc2 :) | 00:02 |
| d4rkh4v0k1 | all in good fun of course : ) | 00:02 |
| brontoeee | alfred, adress the channel please, since you didnt tell anything new the 3rd time allready... | 00:02 |
| morphyeys | magicianlord, I want to install windows xp on other partition and use windows loader, but not grub to choose the OS between them? | 00:03 |
| === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix | ||
| pooky | d4rkh4v0k1: yeah, I've tried several bits of eyecandy, and ran compiz for some time, but really, it was just a distraction from my real need. I like things to be elegant, not flashy. | 00:03 |
| alfred | Yes, I want to move customers website from one server to another one, is there some clear tutorials which will help me to do that ? | 00:03 |
| pooky | I think the fanciest thing I've installed lately is redeye or whatever | 00:03 |
| pooky | to adjust the white balance of my display at night | 00:03 |
| magicianlord | morphyeys: you should read some guides online for that. you typiclaly have to install windows first, then install ubuntu, and let grub select | 00:04 |
| alfred | I did setup my new server properly and I installed ISPconfig 3 | 00:04 |
| d4rkh4v0k1 | Yeah, that's the way I am. I have an aspire one netbook and it's not powerful enough to hang with the "REAL" compouters lol | 00:04 |
| alfred | in the old one there is Cpanel | 00:04 |
| ejv | alfred: start by reading the ubuntu community docs on apache2 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP) followed by learning rsync (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync) that should get you going. we don't support ispconfig 3 here. | 00:04 |
| magicianlord | pooky: have you tried debian rc2? | 00:04 |
| pooky | d4rkh4v0k1: oh, this box has like 6G of ram, and a decent processor. It's real enough, it's just not a gaming rig :P | 00:04 |
| pooky | magicianlord: I have not, why? | 00:04 |
| morphyeys | magicianlord, but I install ubuntu first and I read one article and I need to know where is the grub.bin? | 00:04 |
| nabukadnezar43 | http://pastebin.com/VtQpwjFY, my dev/sda3 is not mounted after reboot, what should i do? i added uid=1000, gid=1000 manually | 00:05 |
| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: `sudo lshw -short` -> pastebin. | 00:05 |
| chaospsychex | xorwhy: i did that command you suggested and it worked and didn't work | 00:05 |
| chaospsychex | after i typed 'metacity --replace' it didn't go to a new command line | 00:06 |

| ejv | alfred: don't shift servers and interrupt your customers until you're absolutely sure the other soon-to-be production environment is working 100%. that includes PHP, Perl, Ruby, etc. whatever your customers may use on your server. | 00:07 |
| damnsmalllinux23 | how do i become op? | 00:07 |

| Elad | I was following a tutorial on bonding nics and it had me remove the 'network-manager' and I now have a need to re-install it, so I put the ubuntu cd on a usb drive (as the ubuntu machine doesn't have a cd-rom); How do I re-install network manager? I read a couple things that said you just click on the .deb of the package to install, but I don't see any network packages | 00:10 |
| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: do -class disk as well | 00:10 |
| magicianlord | are you excited for debian 6? | 00:11 |

| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: ahhh now we're in business | 00:11 |
| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: looks like it thinks Garmin is a flash storage device, `sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb` | 00:11 |

| d4rkh4v0k1 | sorry for flooding :| | 00:13 |
| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: hehe np so you have your answer it looks like your GPS is /dev/sdb | 00:13 |
| Elad | chaospsychex, I don't have any network interfaces when I do ifconfig | 00:13 |
| chaospsychex | Elad: wow, your in a pickle then | 00:13 |
| Elad | chaospsychex, and this is only after removing the network-manager | 00:13 |
| d4rkh4v0k1 | whoah, okay, ill check it out. Thanks for helping | 00:13 |
| chaospsychex | Elad: you can't re-install the package from the ubuntu install cd? | 00:13 |
| magicianlord | Elad: what is it | 00:13 |
| magicianlord | do you need help connecting with wifi | 00:14 |
| magicianlord | ? | 00:14 |
| ejv | d4rkh4v0k1: np, im just interpreting the output, looks like sdb is it | 00:14 |
| Elad | I don't have a cd-rom to put in the machine (and it doesn't have one) | 00:14 |
| Elad | wired nic | 00:14 |
| chaospsychex | magicianlord: he removed 'network manager' | 00:14 |
| Elad | thank you | 00:14 |
| magicianlord | oh | 00:14 |
| chaospsychex | he needs to re-install it | 00:14 |
| magicianlord | network manager is the front end. it should still connect you, as long as you bring up the interface | 00:14 |
| filo1234 | Elad: ifconfig -a | 00:14 |
| tbruff13 | how do i run wow from the guest session of x | 00:15 |
| ejv | just because you remove some gtk network app, doesn't mean all network connectivity goes bye-bye... | 00:15 |
| ejv | that's insanity | 00:15 |
| Elad | ifconfig -a shows eth0-eth32 | 00:15 |
| tbruff13 | i start up in user guest and their is no world of warcraft icon so how do i run it or is it possible | 00:15 |
| Elad | not sure how that many showed up | 00:15 |
| filo1234 | 32?? | 00:15 |
| jrib | tbruff13: use a terminal, wine /path/to/wow.exe | 00:16 |
| Elad | I have 3 mics on the machine | 00:16 |
| mbeierl | anyone know anything about the kernel ppa? | 00:16 |
| Elad | mics = nics | 00:16 |
| mbeierl | I am having serious issues with my intel i915 staying running for more than a couple hours. X keeps locking up when I use xrandr (which happens with every suspend/resume cycle). I am looking at the ubuntu kernel ppa to see if there's anything new - there seems to be with the drm-intel-next, but I'm not sure if I can use the kernel ppa with maverick as it appears to be lucid-based. | 00:16 |
| magicianlord | ejv: try removing plymouh from ubuntu | 00:16 |
| filo1234 | Elad: ok sudo ifconfig eth0 up and so on | 00:16 |
| filo1234 | Elad: do you use dhcp? | 00:16 |
| ejv | magicianlord: i would if i ran ubuntu | 00:16 |
| ejv | ;) | 00:16 |
| stephenmac7 | Is packaging in ubuntu as easy as it is in arch? | 00:16 |
| Elad | yes | 00:17 |
| magicianlord | ohhh!!! | 00:17 |
| magicianlord | hehe | 00:17 |
| stephenmac7 | Elad yes? | 00:17 |
| filo1234 | Elad: on eth0? | 00:17 |
| magicianlord | stephenmac7: yes, but apt is slower | 00:17 |
| ejv | YMMV | 00:17 |
| stephenmac7 | magicianlord: how? | 00:17 |
| jrib | !packaging > stephenmac7 | 00:17 |
| ubottu | stephenmac7, please see my private message | 00:17 |
| magicianlord | stephenmac7: what do you mean, how | 00:17 |
| magicianlord | stephenmac7: it takes longer to process the package and install it | 00:17 |
| tbruff13 | is it possible to run wow from guest for better preformance if so how | 00:18 |
| jrib | stephenmac7: essentially, but instead of one file, there are multiple, and to build a proper package that conforms to standards, that may require some extra leg work | 00:18 |
| jsec | !repeat > tbruff13 | 00:18 |
| ubottu | tbruff13, please see my private message | 00:18 |
| jrib | tbruff13: I just told you how :/ | 00:18 |
| magicianlord | stephenmac7: i use both ubuntu and arch | 00:18 |

| filo1234 | Elad: after you get up nic with sudo ifconfig eth0...1....2 up and so on try sudo dhclient eth0 or eth1 ...depends in wich card you have cable conneceted | 00:19 |
| jrib | tbruff13: use a terminal, wine /path/to/wow.exe | 00:19 |
| damnsmalllinux23 | can someone connect to my computer so that i can have help | 00:19 |
| arch_is_awesome | What do you mean? | 00:19 |
| Elad | filo1234, I just found one on eth7 | 00:20 |
| arch_is_awesome | There has to be a reason, right? | 00:20 |
| aeon-ltd | arch_is_awesome: its very debateable which package manager i 'better' but for consistency they may as well not change | 00:20 |
| magicianlord | yes, there is | 00:20 |
| damnsmalllinux23 | like connect through ip and view my computer as i do something for help | 00:20 |
| paq7512 | what can i do about not having the tscc codec able to work with linux? | 00:20 |

| arch_is_awesome | Okay then thanks! | 00:21 |
| Elad | filo1234, still remove and reboot? | 00:21 |

| jsec | ratpit: ok. and how is it not working? | 00:23 |
| TaJo | can someone help me? | 00:23 |
| Elad | filo1234, they look like it. looks like they are eth0, eth7, eth32..which is probably why things go so high. think if I remove them that they will renumber to eth0, eth1, eth2? | 00:23 |
| arosen | Anyone know how i can change the color depth to 16 on ubuntu 10.04? | 00:23 |
| Elad | filo1234, or can I just manually rename them and reboot? | 00:23 |

| filo1234 | Elad: work now? | 00:28 |
| jsec | ratpit: fglrx discontinued support for that card. :( | 00:28 |
| ratpit | jsec, any ideas on what I can do now? | 00:29 |

| jsec | ratpit: buy an nvidia. much better support than ati. (coming from someone that just fought for two days to get compiz+fglrx working on his mobility radeon 3200) | 00:30 |
| Elad | eth0-eth32 | 00:30 |
| jsec | ;) | 00:30 |

| tbruff13 | jrib, a script to start a new x session with no window manager and for that same script to run wow.exe but i guess that is not possible because google did not help me | 00:39 |

| _Sketch_ | I have a Gateway t-6345u, display controller GM965/GL960. In Ubuntu 10.4, I added "nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor" to my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/defaults/grub, in order to get the backlight controls working. Now, in Ubuntu 10.10, nomodeset (as it says) keeps GDM from starting because it cannot set the video mode. It doesn't work without both options, and doesn't work when I boot Ubuntu in any of the recovery modes. | 00:50 |

| jsec | Hey, random question here. I'm trying for a little more of a retro feel, and I'd like to get rid of the icons in my Gnome menu. Can anyone confirm that you CAN'T do this anymore? | 01:24 |
| gpc | jsec: would be in system > Preferences > Appearance but I don't see how to disable the icons | 01:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | jsec, UbuntuTweak has a "Show icons in menus" option - BUT it only seems to work for the System menu? | 01:27 |
| jsec | gpc: there used to be an "Interface" tab where you could tick the option to disable them.... seems to be gone now. | 01:27 |
| jsec | ZykoticK9, yeah i noticed the same thing. | 01:27 |
| gpc | jsec: maybe in gconf-editor ? | 01:27 |
| shcherbak | jsec: maybe, try gnome channels, maybe clean (not ubuntu) gnome still can, otherwise apps shares, maybe. | 01:28 |
| jsec | the gconf-editor value is the same one altered by UbuntuTweak. "menus_have_icons" only seems to apply to the System menu. | 01:28 |
| Stavros | i have some python libs in /usr/local/lib/python2.6, that's not the default system python, is it? | 01:30 |
| richardr | If I run a command that removed a whole bunch of dependencies (hundreds) that I didn't want to include by accident - the command is "removing..." right now, is there ANY way to undo this ? | 01:30 |
| Stavros | richardr: just reinstall the app you removed, they should be reinstalled if they're its dependencies | 01:31 |
| jsec | gpc: ZykoticK9: confirmed by the forums. that gconf key was how you could remove the icons, and that key changed somehow back at 9.10 | 01:31 |
| jsec | oh well, was hoping i could. | 01:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | jsec, thanks for the update - sorry it's bad news. | 01:32 |
| gpc | jsec: maybe installing gnome-desktop-environment and then disabling the icons | 01:32 |
| jsec | gpc: what's the difference between that and the Gnome prepackaged with ubuntu? | 01:33 |

| tcurdt | big trouble here ... I did update a few packages (sshd was one of them) on my ubuntu 10.04 vserver and now the sshd does no start anymore :-( | 02:03 |
| tcurdt | no console but I still have access to the filesystem | 02:04 |
| Diamondcite | tcurdt: That makes is kind of hard to diagnose.. | 02:04 |
| edwardteach | q_a_z_steve, I would re-install over the linux and leave the damaged section of windows then recover the files from windows with ubuntu tools .. not so sure about the rest ! | 02:04 |
| Diamondcite | tcurdt: Could you try to chroot into your server file system and try to start sshd by hand? Maybe it will give some useful output.. | 02:05 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: indeed it does ... feels like printf debugging | 02:05 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: vserver .. all I have is the filesystem ... so I can access logs and configs ... but that's it | 02:06 |

| m_fulder | i.e. make all the partitions dissapear | 02:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | m_fulder, boot a livecd and delete all partitions | 02:07 |
| Diamondcite | m_fulder: Beyond recovery or just look empty? | 02:07 |
| BlueBomber7 | m_fulder: WARNING erase the partition table WARNING | 02:07 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: already did ... first I had trouble with the ttys respawning over and over again ... move those files init.d event files away | 02:07 |
| m_fulder | Diamondcite, just look empty .. so I can reformat it and use again | 02:08 |
| Diamondcite | tcurdt: Did you customize your SSH server in some way? | 02:08 |
| m_fulder | ZykoticK9, a liveCD? | 02:08 |
| undecim | Has anyone successfully used Black Box Innovations Personal Pocket Safe on Linux? | 02:08 |
| BlueBomber7 | ZykoticK9, m_fulder, you wouldn't necessarily HAVE to use a livecd if you're wiping a drive other than the one on which the kernel's stored. | 02:08 |
| jsec | m_fulder: DBAN O:-) | 02:08 |
| Diamondcite | m_fulder: Boot with liveCD, sudo gparted use that app to wipe partitions | 02:09 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: nope ... which is why I went for the maintainer's version on install | 02:09 |
| m_fulder | ah right | 02:09 |
| m_fulder | will try it on thanks :) | 02:09 |
| m_fulder | brb then | 02:09 |
| BlueBomber7 | I sure hope we see m_fulder again. | 02:09 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: tried to sneak in the sshd startup into the cron startup (which does start) but that did not work for some reason | 02:10 |
| Diamondcite | If he is going to wipe in such a way. I won't be seeing m_fulder again for about 2 hours atleast.. | 02:10 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: only got init, udevd, cron and syslog running ... no other processes | 02:10 |

| Nightpenguin | ssh question: how can i connect to a machine that is not on my local network? | 02:12 |
| sah1 | hi, a simple question regarding the complex topic of dual boot with ubuntu & windows. i am running the latest version of ubuntu. there is a windows partition where i installed win2k yesterday. when i boot up, windows is not an option. what part of these instructions ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot ) do i need to begin at as i don't want to have to format the drive and start over, especially since i'm using it right now to | 02:12 |
| sacarlson | dextro_: yes it should | 02:12 |
| Diamondcite | Nightpenguin: ssh user@remote.host | 02:12 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: well ... I don't have ssh access to that machine anymore - that is the problem :) | 02:12 |
| dextro_ | its a bash script | 02:12 |
| dextro_ | and if i remove the /2 it runs every hour fine | 02:12 |
| tcurdt | Diamondcite: all I got is filesystem level access | 02:12 |
| Nightpenguin | i can't manage to find the remote host name | 02:12 |
| dextro_ | once i readd it never seems to exec | 02:12 |
| Diamondcite | tcurdt: I need ssh to log SOME sort of error in the syslogs.. else it's hard to tell... | 02:13 |
| Nightpenguin | i have access to both machines | 02:13 |
| Diamondcite | tcurdt: Or you can read the ssh logs.. or messages from your /var/log | 02:13 |
| sacarlson | dextro_: that's what it should do so what's the problem | 02:13 |
| Diamondcite | Nightpenguin: Okay, is port 22 open on the remote machine? | 02:13 |
| Wiesshund | Ello peoples, everyone enjoying the monsoon? well near me it is anyways | 02:14 |

| dextro_ | sacarlson: ... it does not exec every 2 hours when i add /2 | 02:14 |
| dextro_ | i have not waited to see how long it actually takes | 02:15 |
| Nightpenguin | "could not resolve hostname" | 02:15 |

| Mr_boo | can you tell me what to look for |sam-_- | 03:54 |
| sam-_- | Mr_boo: look for some wireless device or wifi | 03:55 |
| sam-_- | Mr_boo: lspci | grep -i network | 03:55 |
| Aristocles | I've set up a second account, with the same privileges as my first account. When I log on the second, the theme is all wrong! | 03:55 |
| sam-_- | Mr_boo: this should make it easier | 03:55 |
| Aristocles | nothing changes! | 03:56 |
| ao8000 | bucky: no dhcpoffers recieved | 03:56 |
| bucky | ao8000, maybe you'll have to google for how to set up a static ip address in ubuntu, that's all i can come up with | 03:57 |
| Aristocles | i take that back! it is the panels that won't change. | 03:57 |
| ao8000 | no working leases in persistent database - sleeping | 03:57 |
| sam-_- | ao8000: ifconfig wlan0 <ip address> | 03:57 |
| sam-_- | ao8000: or whatever you interface name is | 03:58 |
| sam-_- | ao8000: eth0 for example | 03:58 |
| sam-_- | !resetpanel | Aristocles | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Aristocles: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:58 |
| cylob | if i have an original psx game disc, how do i rip it into .iso format so i can play it on a ps1 emulator | 03:58 |

| cylob | is it piracy if i own the original disc? | 03:59 |
| Aristocles | ubottu: that reset the panel but it is still not taking the theme color. | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:00 |
| Aristocles | it looks like win 95! | 04:00 |
| sam-_- | cylob: don't know. but in most countries it is illegal to circumvent copy protection | 04:00 |
| Mr_boo | nothing | sam-_- | 04:00 |
| sam-_- | Aristocles: try changing the theme then | 04:01 |
| Mr_boo | thanks for trying | 04:01 |
| jtannenbaum | How do I disable by wireless card in my PC without physically removing it? | 04:01 |
| sam-_- | Mr_boo: maybe it's connect via usb. lsusb | 04:01 |
| Aristocles | sam-_-: tried that. The windows change but not the panels | 04:01 |
| sam-_- | jtannenbaum: blacklist the module. that will disable it permanently | 04:02 |
| sam-_- | jtannenbaum: if you just want to disable it for a moment: ifdown wlan0 | 04:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | cylob, see http://forums.ngemu.com/problems-games/100052-cd-ripping-under-linux.html - technically it's not an ISO but a bin/cue that you need, well just the bin part really | 04:03 |
| jtannenbaum | sam-_-: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. | 04:04 |
| sam-_- | jtannenbaum: ifconfig -a will show you your interface name | 04:04 |
| sam-_- | jtannenbaum: or iwconfig is even better. | 04:05 |
| jtannenbaum | apparently it was wlan0. But when I try ifdown again: ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured | 04:05 |
| Mr_boo | maybe it's a hardware issue.. just got the labtop a couple days ago | 04:05 |
| jtannenbaum | I'm still connected with wireless it seems | 04:06 |
| ao8000 | i tried ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.105 and it said Permission Denied | 04:06 |

| van7hu | hi all,I am using ubuntu with gnome,is there a way to change my default login from "gnome" to "tty" instead ? | 04:11 |
| BlueBomber7 | van7hu: You can CTRL+ALT+F{1-6} at any time | 04:12 |
| wildintellect | van7hu, do you want to keep gnome from starting unless you tell it to? | 04:12 |
| Jeruvy | needlez: try #aircrack-ng | 04:13 |
| van7hu | I need my login prompt is "tty",do I need to change grub ? | 04:14 |
| needlez | Jeruvy: thank you | 04:14 |
| wildintellect | van7hu, do you want to disable gnome entirely or just login to a terminal for your user? | 04:15 |
| wildintellect | van7hu, there is an option on the login screen to login to a terminal session | 04:16 |
| van7hu | it's mark as "fail safe...",I do not sure about this,is it a normal "tty"? | 04:16 |
| wildintellect | van7hu, ah you might be thinking of recovery mode/single user mode | 04:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | van7hu, do you want to log in with true text mode? Like disable GDM? | 04:17 |
| van7hu | wildtellect : yes,is that right ? | 04:17 |
| bjhaid | i formatted my hard-drive and would like to recover my files can anyone please suggest a way out | 04:18 |
| wildintellect | bjhaid, what file system did you have on it? | 04:18 |
| sam-_- | bjhaid: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 04:19 |
| van7hu | I do not want to disable GDM entirely,just all account will login default via text mode and can switch to gnome if they want | 04:19 |
| bjhaid | sam: is it free | 04:19 |
| sam-_- | bjhaid: yes | 04:20 |
| sam-_- | van7hu: edit the file /etc/init/gdm | 04:20 |
| sam-_- | van7hu: to the "stop on" line add the runlevel 2 | 04:21 |
| bjhaid | sam: thanks already downloading it | 04:21 |
| sam-_- | van7hu: so it would read "stop on runlevel [0126]" | 04:21 |
| sam-_- | van7hu: this way gdm will not get started | 04:21 |
| sam-_- | van7hu: you can then start it with: sudo service gdm start | 04:22 |
| bjhaid | sam: i hope it would recover despite the drive was previously partitioned (NTFS, ext) and now the partitions dont exist anymore, i would want to recover files from the NTFS partition | 04:23 |
| van7hu | sam-_-: gdm or gdm.conf | 04:23 |
| sCOTTo | hey guys, I just moved my ubuntu server from my office into a Datacentre. I want to remote access it - what are the best programs to use for direct screen remote access to my server ? even to get the CLI ? | 04:23 |

| wildintellect | sCOTTo, ssh | 04:24 |
| van7hu | :) | 04:24 |
| pksadiq | !ssh | sCOTTo | 04:24 |
| ubottu | sCOTTo: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 04:24 |

| sCOTTo | Guys! I want GUI remote access... | 04:24 |
| van7hu | but , could I start gnome later by Ctrl-Alt-F7 ? | 04:24 |
| wildintellect | bjhaid, look at the list on http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Livecd pick one of the LiveCDs to try, download, burn and boot machine | 04:24 |
| wildintellect | bjhaid, plug in another HD external or internal to try and copy the rescued files off the deleted drive | 04:25 |
| BlueBomber7 | sCOTTo: Sounds like you want remote desktop. | 04:25 |
| van7hu | thanks | 04:26 |
| sCOTTo | BlueBomber7: yes | 04:26 |
| pksadiq | sCOTTo: might be ssh -X allows that | 04:26 |
| * sCOTTo is VERY used to his ubuntu GUI.... in an unhealthy kind of way.... unlike his CentOS / cPanel server... which is mostly done by CLI for major stuff.... | 04:27 | |
| wildintellect | sCOTTo, personally I use VNC over SSH | 04:27 |
| sCOTTo | pksadiq: ssh -x is the command ? | 04:27 |
| BlueBomber7 | I agree with pksadiq's suggestion. You can forward your X windows over ssh; that's actually what I do. | 04:27 |

| joseph | sCOTTo: www.nomachine.com | 04:27 |

| b4|hraban | ah sweet, thank you sam-_- | 04:33 |
| zenergi | my os will only boot when I select the startup disk from the bios. I have a feeling it has to do with the mirrored software raid on which the boot disk resides. Any idea how to troubleshoot/fix this? | 04:33 |
| b4|hraban | all I got was pages that said this project does not use launchpad | 04:33 |
| EnigmaticCoder | I'm planning to write a quick text file that I will delete after using. Is this a good situation to save it to /dev/null? (I've never used /dev/null before) | 04:33 |
| zenergi | I tried a fresh install twice using these directions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 04:33 |
| b4|hraban | EnigmaticCoder: no | 04:34 |
| b4|hraban | EnigmaticCoder: save it to /tmp | 04:34 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Ah, ty | 04:34 |
| b4|hraban | EnigmaticCoder: /dev/null is a special file itself, not a directory | 04:34 |
| b4|hraban | anything you write to it will be discarded instantly | 04:34 |

| sangprabo | Hi, everyone, I had a problem when trying to open home folder with nautilus. It works for other subfolder such as ~/Desktop. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/290136 brings me to add a whitespace and a dot to /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop file, but it doesn't work. Any other suggestion? | 04:48 |

| Vooloo | after kernel upgrade I have serious issues with my network card. it stops using randomly for like 5-10 seconds... what to do? | 05:42 |
| histo | blue_pearl: I used to have that same problem. It seemed to be only over wifi trying to remember what I did to fix it. Worked fine wifi in windows on same box. Let me think for a bit. | 05:42 |
| histo | jhansonxi: yeah it's present. | 05:42 |
| histo | jhansonxi: ty | 05:43 |
| blue_pearl | histo, u r right buddy i am over wifi....when i connect via ethernet and set up dsl connection then it works fine | 05:43 |
| jhansonxi | blue_pearl, first identify your wireless chip. Open a terminal window and enter "lspci" or "lsusb" depending on how the device is connected. | 05:43 |
| histo | blue_pearl: It had something to do with winbind | 05:43 |
| histo | blue_pearl: you using winbind? | 05:43 |
| k_sze | Hmm, why is the installer still setting up an EFIboot partition when I have disabled EFI support in the VM settings? | 05:43 |
| histo | blue_pearl: and specifying wins in the /etc/nsswitch.conf that was the problem. Got rid of wins and all was okay. | 05:44 |

| jhansonxi | kripz, it was tricky with Grub (v1) but Grub 2 supposedly has support for RAID. Try: http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID | 05:47 |
| tntc | blue_pearl: I've had good luck with the latest broadcom wl driver. you have to download it from broadcom, and then uninstall wl | 05:47 |
| tntc | blue_pearl: you also have to blacklist wl and ssb, and a few other things | 05:47 |
| v | right... in that case i repost it, ok? | 05:47 |

| jhansonxi | blue_pearl, the important part of troubleshooting is always identifying the exact device you are working with. I don't have experience with that chip so I can't help further. | 05:49 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest21451 | ||
| blue_pearl | jhansonxi, thanks for ur help | 05:50 |
| jhansonxi | kripz, I think so according to that page. | 05:50 |
| jhansonxi | kripz, with Grub one it was a complicated manual process of doing each drive separately. | 05:50 |
| blue_pearl | jhansonxi, can u tell me how to check which wirless driver i have installed in my laptop | 05:52 |
| jhansonxi | The command "lsmod" will tell you which kernel modules are loaded. Wireless network drivers are usually kernel modules (I don't know about ndiswrapper). The GUI tool "jockey-gtk" which is in the desktop menu at System > Administration > Hardware Drivers (Ubuntu/Gnome) will tell you. | 05:55 |

| blue_pearl | soreau, thanx | 05:56 |
| grigoriades | <gpc> its a folder of a game i have installed. | 05:57 |

| grigoriades | <soreau> ok | 05:57 |
| grigoriades | <gpc> thanks | 05:57 |
| jhansonxi | blue_pearl, what soreau said works. Also you can use "lshw" if it is installed. Because the output is long either run it from a terminal window that can scroll or use "lshw | pager". | 05:58 |

| selig5 | smiley2: You can use gksu nautilus to have admin access to all parts of your system. | 06:15 |
| jhansonxi | smiley2, Linux root=Windows administrator. To get root access on Ubuntu do "sudo <command>". For the file manager in Ubuntu (Gnome) try "sudo nautilus". | 06:15 |
| smiley2 | ok,thanks | 06:15 |
| jhansonxi | smiley2, open up a terminal window (under accessories) and type in the command. For direct root access in a terminal use "sudo su". | 06:15 |
| smiley2 | oh and i installed a temp sensor from software manager but it wont work | 06:16 |

| jhansonxi | smiley2, you need to detect the sensors. Do a "sudo sensors-detect". Say yes to everything including the part at the end about adding the modules. Reboot and the sensors should be functional if your chipset is supported. | 06:17 |
| AbhiJit | concon, each edition comes in two forms 32 and 64 | 06:17 |
| AbhiJit | concon, you can check your is which one by doing uname -a | 06:18 |
| AbhiJit | and paste here the output | 06:18 |
| smiley2 | ok,i will do that right now... | 06:18 |

| jhansonxi | ZykoticK9, what's the difference? My own tests only showed that "sudo -s" or "sudo /bin/sh" caused problems. I've used "sudo su" for years. | 06:18 |

| ZykoticK9 | jhansonxi, "sudo su" is discouraged very much in this channel. "sudo -i" is sets the environment variable properly | 06:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | conner, i686 = 32bit | 06:19 |
| AbhiJit | conner, the operating system you areu sing is 32 bit | 06:19 |

| jhansonxi | ZykoticK9, do you mean HOME? | 06:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | jhansonxi, just don't use (or suggest) "sudo su" | 06:20 |
| cardamon | Hey guys, I'm messing around with some Java programming for a class. Does OpenJDK differ greatly from Oracle/Sun's version? | 06:21 |
| AbhiJit | cardamon, #java | 06:21 |
| rww | cardamon: enough that some stuff stuff works on one and not the other, yes. | 06:21 |
| === mj is now known as Guest29178 | ||
| cardamon | rww: Thanks. So I'll need to add a source with Oracle/Suns and uninstall OpenJDK if I want to head off those issues? | 06:22 |
| rww | cardamon: add the partner repository (see the instructions ubottu's about to give you) and look into the sun-java6-* packages | 06:23 |
| rww | !partner | cardamon | 06:23 |
| ubottu | cardamon: 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" » | 06:23 |
| ndlovu | If I run "ps ax | grep NetworkManager" I can see that it's running (1023 ? Ss 0:00 NetworkManager), but it doesn't show in the notification area (at other times it does)... any ideas to get it to show? | 06:23 |
| juniour | hew there any command to know your shell | 06:23 |
| juniour | like bash or korn | 06:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | juniour, "echo $SHELL" | 06:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | ndlovu, nm-applet is the 'real' Network Manager BTW | 06:24 |
| swazzy | screen program? | 06:24 |
| juniour | ZykoticK9 ya this i know but i wanna to know which other shell is present | 06:24 |
| ndlovu | ZykoticK9, nm-applet is running (3033 ? S 0:00 nm-applet --sm-disable) | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | swazzy, "screen" lets you start something then close the shell and keep it running | 06:25 |
| Poshepocket | So I found this link to get my mousepad to work, http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150077 but I'm not sure how to follow the steps to edit the files or something so would someone please walk me through the steps? | 06:25 |
| juniour | ZykoticK9 this command gives in which shell u r working | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | ndlovu, mine says --sm-disable as well | 06:25 |
| juniour | but i wanna which shell are present in my system | 06:26 |
| ndlovu | ZykoticK9, is your network manager icon always visible, or does it only show under certain conditions (like when there's wireless networks around)? | 06:26 |
| nibsa1242 | I need help or documentation for fixing a LVM on Linux software Raid (1) install. Everything went well, but the installer did not install GRUB. My /boot is not on the LVM, but is on the raid. | 06:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | ndlovu, mind shows all the time | 06:27 |
| swazzy | ok i got it thanks | 06:27 |
| jhansonxi | Poshepocket, which desktop environment are you using? Gnome (standard Ubuntu)? KDE (Kubuntu)? | 06:28 |
| juniour | ZykoticK9 u got my question | 06:28 |
| juniour | ? | 06:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | juniour, i don't have an answer | 06:28 |
| Poshepocket | jhansonxi: I'm pretty sure it's Gnome. | 06:28 |
| juniour | k | 06:28 |
| juniour | thanks | 06:28 |
| ndlovu | thanks ZykoticK9, now I just need to figure out why mine sometimes doesn't show | 06:28 |
| juniour | any one here hve my ans | 06:28 |
| juniour | help me please | 06:29 |
| jhansonxi | Poshepocket, open a terminal window and type "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub". Make the change and save. Then type "sudo update-grub2" to set it. Reboot to test. | 06:29 |

| Poshepocket | jhansonxi: oh wow. that was easy! Thanks Heaps. :) | 06:30 |
| yagoo | yvkrishna, latest ubuntu is 10.10 :) btw.. this 10.10 may not have the lastest for ur sound either.. check anything about .asoundrc | 06:30 |
| yagoo | yvkrishna, the alsa site should have tips for that soundcard chipset | 06:31 |
| jhansonxi | Poshepocket, if you hold the shift key down immediately after the system starts (past the BIOS test/manufacturer logo screen) you will get a Grub menu. You can make temporary changes there. | 06:31 |
| chaospsychex | if i want to test out Joomla on a local machine, how do i install php and sql? | 06:32 |

| Vizzle | chaospsychex, google 'lamp server ubuntu' | 06:33 |

| culvert | so anyone got a moment for a quick question? | 06:34 |
| nibsa1242 | Need help with GRUB. My /boot is on a mdadm raid. Everything else is on a LVM on top of mdadm raid. Installer failed to install grub. | 06:34 |
| chaospsychex | histo: no | 06:34 |
| culvert | sorry i can wait till you have helped them | 06:34 |
| * jhansonxi hopes Poshepocket can still boot after that. Messing with the boot loader is tricky. | 06:34 | |
| histo | chaospsychex: well you need to install a webserver php5 and maybe mysql | 06:34 |
| chaospsychex | histo: is apache2 sql serv? | 06:34 |
| histo | !lamp | chaospsychex | 06:34 |
| ubottu | chaospsychex: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:34 |

| chaospsychex | ok thanks | 06:35 |
| culvert | I'm following a tutorial to make a persistant usb bt4, It wants me to make a /boot and / partition, my question is, if i want to always be able to update my tools and not run out of space which partition do i need to make large? ie. where do updates save to? | 06:35 |
| AbhiJit | !backtrack | culvert | 06:35 |
| ubottu | culvert: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 06:35 |
| Vizzle | ubottu, | 06:35 |
| scriptwarlock | AbhiJit, i did found the solution | 06:35 |
| AbhiJit | scriptwarlock, good. whats it? | 06:35 |
| cardamon | rww: Riight, but I already have openjdk, so which gets called when compile something with javac? | 06:35 |
| culvert | i understand.. check the underlying question.. | 06:36 |
| AbhiJit | Vizzle, ubottu is bot | 06:36 |
| culvert | regarding where packages save | 06:36 |
| scriptwarlock | AbhiJit, its libgtk2.0-dev | 06:36 |
| Vizzle | i know : ) | 06:36 |
| nibsa1242 | culvert, you'll want a large / Boot is probably safe at 100MB or so | 06:36 |
| AbhiJit | scriptwarlock, well done! :) | 06:36 |
| Vizzle | i was looking for its trigger | 06:36 |
| jhansonxi | nibsa1242, did you read http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID ? | 06:36 |
| cardamon | nibsa1242: 100MB? | 06:36 |
| cardamon | Yeeesh. | 06:36 |
| cardamon | Overkill. | 06:37 |
| rww | cardamon: oh. I /think/ there's an update-alternatives command for that, but I try to avoid situations like that, so I've never used it :\ | 06:37 |
| ilon | culvert: downloaded packages saves to /var/apt/cache or so | 06:37 |
| Vizzle | nibsa1242, I had a similar situation while trying to install on 10 TB Raid 5 array | 06:37 |
| k4g6 | intx: sup dude i like your face | 06:37 |

| nibsa1242 | jhansonxi, reading it now, I had mainly read the ubuntu community docs and they don't tell you what to do when the installer fails... just switched from Debian, which executes an LVM on Raid install flawlessly | 06:37 |
| nibsa1242 | cardamon, I normally go with 1GB... I've had issues with even 100MB because often the updates level the old kernels in /boot | 06:38 |
| jhansonxi | nibsa1242, I think the primary command on Ubuntu/Debian is "update-grub2" | 06:38 |
| nibsa1242 | Vizzle so what did you do? | 06:38 |
| jhansonxi | nibsa1242, The defaults are in "/etc/default/grub". | 06:39 |
| Vizzle | nibsa1242, I wiped the MBR | 06:39 |
| cardamon | rww: Ever since I ran that command I can't get Ubuntu Software Center to run. What's the command line for that one? | 06:39 |
| xiven | Is it necessary for a contribution to be included in official updates or releases, for the developer to call him/her self a contributor to a project? | 06:39 |
| rww | xiven: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic, that isn't really an ubuntu support question :\ | 06:39 |
| xiven | ok | 06:39 |
| Vizzle | Nibsa1242, what is your current hard drive setup? | 06:39 |
| cardamon | rww: $ software-center | 06:39 |
| cardamon | ? | 06:39 |
| nibsa1242 | jhansonxi, I've tried update-grub from the rescue console . . . Grub wasn't installed. So I installed it at the rescue. Grub refused to install onto /dev/md0 | 06:40 |
| jhansonxi | cardamon, /boot needs to be evern bigger with debug kernels loaded. | 06:40 |
| asdfqwer | Vizzle, nibsa1242, you know there's boot recovery tools out there that'll recover MBR | 06:40 |
| Vizzle | asdfqwer, even with dd? | 06:40 |
| Poshepocket | jhansonxi: Mouse still doesn't work or anything... | 06:40 |
| asdfqwer | dd? | 06:40 |
| rww | cardamon: yup | 06:41 |
| jhansonxi | nibsa1242, strange. It's been a while since I set up my md-raid/lvm2/dm-crypt system so I can't remember what I did with grub. | 06:41 |
| asdfqwer | I forget the name of the tool, but I've done this several times | 06:41 |
| Vizzle | asdfqwer, dd if=/dev/zero | 06:41 |
| asdfqwer | /dev/zero? | 06:41 |
| xiven | I'm also curious why the update manager comes up every day, requesting to download between 8-25MB? | 06:41 |
| Vizzle | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1 | 06:41 |
| cardamon | rww: http://pastebin.com/krKQhi4G All of a sudden it's not working. | 06:42 |
| nibsa1242 | Vizzle its just a simple raid 1. /dev/md0 is a 1GB partition for /boot ; /dev/md1 is a large lvm which has a 25GB partition for / , a 2GB parition for swap, and a 975GB partition for /home | 06:42 |
| cardamon | As in, it was working before I ran that command to add the partner. | 06:42 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: are you having an issue dual booting with raid? | 06:42 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, I've tried rescatux, it failed to detect the raid setup properly | 06:42 |
| Vizzle | asdfqwer, if you want to wipe MBR+partitions then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 | 06:42 |
| asdfqwer | I see | 06:42 |
| rww | cardamon: one sec, looking into it | 06:42 |
| bsx | chat pvt | 06:43 |
| Vizzle | nibsa1242, how many physical devices total? | 06:43 |
| asdfqwer | Sounds like a loss if that's the case, considering the partitions have been wiped | 06:43 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, no, no dual boot... simple single boot into ubuntu... alternate installer failed to install GRUB | 06:43 |
| cardamon | rww: I think I did something wrong...gimee a sec...aha | 06:43 |
| mindmo | what is the most convenient media center that runs on ubuntu and support IPTV | 06:43 |
| soreau | xiven: You can set how often update-manager checks for updates (by clicking )Settings in update-manager | 06:44 |
| nibsa1242 | Vizzle just 2 1TB HD... so 2 physical devices total in a RAID 1 (this is backup / fileserver) | 06:44 |
| thauriswulfa | QUESTION: not able to login after assigning /home to new partition in fstab and deleting the user folder in home . what to do? | 06:44 |
| Vizzle | asdfqwer, i thought the setup was the following: boot hdd, raid array(x HDDs) | 06:44 |
| asdfqwer | I'm actually running a Windows software RAID 0 and boot from another HD, nibsa1242, is this similar to your case? | 06:44 |
| jhansonxi | Poshepocket, I have a laptop with similar issues. I remember messing with that same module but didn't get it functioning on Ubuntu Karmic. I haven't tried anything newer yet. Been to busy. Try searching for bug reports on it in launchpad. Search with Google for "site:launchpad.net i8042". | 06:44 |
| X-Raimo | what DE has Ubuntu Server& | 06:44 |
| asdfqwer | I can mount my Windows partition fine from ubuntu | 06:44 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, no, because I'm running a Linux software raid (mdadm) | 06:44 |
| rww | X-Raimo: Ubuntu Server doesn't use Xorg at all by default. If you want, you can install any DE that Ubuntu's repositories have. | 06:45 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: okay so windows is already installed? | 06:45 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, your raid probably uses dmraid to deal with the fakeraid of Windows software raid | 06:45 |
| soreau | thauriswulfa: Boot into recovery mode and create a user | 06:45 |
| asdfqwer | i see | 06:45 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, this computer will never have windows on it | 06:45 |
| yvkrishna | there is no sound after instaling ubuntu 10.04 i my hp g72 notebook pc............ | 06:45 |
| thauriswulfa | soreau: how to create a new user from terminal? | 06:45 |
| X-Raimo | rww: Is KDE4 supported? | 06:45 |
| rww | cardamon: looks like that error generally comes up if you add a new repository incorrectly. might try removing the relevant line/file from /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (I forget which add-apt-repository uses these days) and redo. | 06:45 |
| yvkrishna | olzz someone help mmeeeeeeeeee | 06:46 |
| rww | X-Raimo: yes | 06:46 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: when do you get the error can you pastebin the log? | 06:46 |
| histo | X-Raimo: you can install whatever window manager you want. | 06:46 |
| X-Raimo | rww: what about LTSP on server& | 06:46 |
| jhansonxi | nibsa1242, I think the idea with Grub2 is that telling it to install on md0 causes it to search for the parent devices (sda? sdb?) and install it there accordingly. | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | Blank screen problem - hoping for some advice. | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | I just made an desktop installation CD (from the .iso) that can also be used to try it out without installing. | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | It boots and works fine as far as giving me the screen where I can choose to either run it or install it ... | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | but when I try to run it I end up on a blank screen (except for the mouse pointer, which i can move around). | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | I don't think it's a graphics card/driver issue, as the previous page looked normal, plus i can see the mouse. | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | Could this just be a problem with trying it out, which might go away if I choose to install it, or could there be some hardware issue? | 06:46 |
| TipsyDever | BTW I also ran the option to check the files on the CD, which said it was fine. | 06:46 |
| FloodBot2 | TipsyDever: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:46 |
| histo | !ltsp | X-Raimo | 06:46 |
| ubottu | X-Raimo: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 06:46 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, there really isn't a log... it is a Grub 15 error [which is from an old grub from the previous Debian install] | 06:46 |
| soreau | thauriswulfa: adduser username | 06:46 |
| asdfqwer | Ah I see | 06:47 |
| rww | X-Raimo: I've never used LTSP, so I don't know enough to tell you. I think there's LTSP work from Edubuntu that would be in Ubuntu's repositories, though. | 06:47 |
| cardamon | rww: Typo. I fixed. | 06:47 |
| dubey | hello | 06:47 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: is there a previous distribution you can boot to? | 06:47 |
| thauriswulfa | soreau: but i want this new partition which i assigned to home to be home for new user? will it be done automatically | 06:47 |
| asdfqwer | or is this like a clean install? | 06:47 |
| nibsa1242 | jhansonxi, Grub refused to install on /md0 ; Should install it on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb separately? | 06:47 |
| X-Raimo | I know. I need to decide between Kubuntu, Ubuntu Server and Debian (with KDE3) for LTSP Server | 06:47 |
| * asdfqwer assumes the former | 06:47 | |
| jhansonxi | TipsyDever, reboot. Hold the shift key down immediately after the BIOS POST/manufacturer logo screen to get the Grub menu. Edit the top (default) menu item and add "nomodeset" after the double-dash on boot line. | 06:48 |
| histo | rww: you don't need edubuntu for ltsp . you can install it from tasksel | 06:48 |
| rww | cardamon: everything working fine now? | 06:48 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, no, I overwrote my debian install, I'm running from the live cd right now | 06:48 |
| soreau | thauriswulfa: If it's working correctly it should | 06:48 |
| dubey | I am using ubuntu 10.10. For some reason i have manually disabled my blutooth and now trying to start blutooth but it is not starting | 06:48 |
| asdfqwer | So you're using your old /boot? | 06:48 |
| rww | histo: yes, that's what I meant. The Edubuntu people worked on it (I think), and it's thus in Ubuntu's repositories. | 06:48 |
| histo | X-Raimo: why would you install kde on a server? | 06:48 |
| soreau | TipsyDever: Which graphics card is it? | 06:48 |
| cardamon | rww Software Center. Don't see any new java stuff. I'll look in synaptic | 06:48 |
| X-Raimo | rww: Edubutu works fine. Also debian works great | 06:48 |
| juniour | dubey try this rfkill unblock bluetooth | 06:48 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, my /boot is still there, only b/c the Ubuntu installer didn't format it (even though I told it to) | 06:49 |
| histo | !bluetooth > dube | 06:49 |
| thauriswulfa | soreau: its asking for room no. what does that mean | 06:49 |
| X-Raimo | histo: because I need to provide people with KDE on Terminal (LTSP) | 06:49 |
| histo | !bluetooth > dubey | 06:49 |
| ubottu | dubey, please see my private message | 06:49 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: you try deleting it with gparted? | 06:49 |
| TipsyDever | soreau: good question, will try to find out | 06:49 |
| soreau | thauriswulfa: Are you sure you're in the right terminal? :P | 06:49 |
| thauriswulfa | yes i am | 06:49 |
| histo | X-Raimo: that has nothing to do with kde running on the server itself. | 06:49 |
| jhansonxi | yvkrishna, check your sound preferences. Left-click on the sound icon and select preferences. In the Output tab check the Connector setting. | 06:49 |
| thauriswulfa | soreau: i had enabled root by mistake | 06:50 |
| thauriswulfa | soreau: so i am in root terminal | 06:50 |
| histo | thauyou don't have to enter all that data | 06:50 |
| * rww pokes histo's tab key | 06:50 | |
| thauriswulfa | histo : is it not good for security | 06:50 |
| histo | thauriswulfa: that's for admins to keep track of users they can specify room nber etc... | 06:51 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, gparted crashes and burns when I start it from the live cd... probably doesn't like the raid | 06:51 |
| yvkrishna | jhansonxi, there is no connector | 06:51 |
| dubey | juniour: I tried, command run successfully. but still service doesn't start | 06:51 |
| X-Raimo | histo: there's no other way | 06:51 |
| jhansonxi | yvkrishna, check this document: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 06:51 |
| thauriswulfa | histo: so i should leave it empty , right? | 06:51 |
| yvkrishna | jhansonxi, there is no connector setting | 06:51 |
| cardamon | rww: Okay. See sun-java6-* in synaptic. But which one do I need? jre or jdk or both, and do I need to remove openjdk first, and do I need to flip any additional switchs? | 06:51 |
| histo | X-Raimo: yes there is. | 06:51 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: you have installed it, right? | 06:52 |
| cardamon | Ah, it pulls jre. | 06:52 |

| Firmin | Anyone ? need help with printer . Stuck on proccessing | 06:53 |
| jhansonxi | yvkrishna, it may be a problem with the detection of your sound chip/mixer. Open a terminal window and enter "lspci" or "lsusb" to show what hardware is on your system. Look for a sound device and note what manufacturer/chip number it is. | 06:53 |
| dubey | juniour : /etc/init.d/bluetooth status | 06:53 |
| dubey | * bluetooth is not running | 06:53 |
| X-Raimo | Firmin: just reboot it | 06:53 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: shot in the dark, but try starting gparted from console: gksudo gparted | 06:53 |
| asdfqwer | see if that makes any difference | 06:53 |
| Firmin | nope. This has happened before. I remembered pasting in a line and it worked | 06:53 |
| juniour | dubey sudo apt-get install bluemen | 06:53 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, that threw an error code "could not stat device /dev/md0 - No such file or directory" it said that twice and then some other junk. | 06:54 |
| Firmin | Can't remembered what line though | 06:54 |
| rww | cardamon: both, and to pick whether to use openjdk or sun-java6, I think the "sudo update-alternatives --config java" command from the link ubottu gave would work. | 06:54 |
| jhansonxi | yvkrishna, Once you have that info search with Google for "+<chip> +ubuntu +2010|2011". This should turn up how-to documents, bug reports, etc. If that doesn't help then replace "ubuntu" with "debian" in the search. | 06:54 |
| cardamon | soreau: But I already have OpenJDK, and I'm trying to move to sun-java6 so that I don't encounter any issues writing my programs for class. Do I need to uninstall OpenJDK and/or flip any switches, select a particular version first or last? | 06:54 |
| soreau | cardamon: I have no idea | 06:55 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: does df show the device? | 06:55 |
| Firmin | Prinring stuck on proccesing. Rebooting not working | 06:56 |
| X-Raimo | histo: Terminal Klient boots from small linux (which located in /opt/ltsp) and connects to server via SSH. After this to run KDE you'll need KDE running on server itself. | 06:56 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, hold on ubuntu live cd doesn't have lvm2m installing now | 06:56 |
| jhansonxi | Firmin, check the CUPS web interface. CUPS has a web server running on your system. Open a browser and go to "localhost:631". Check the job status, printer settings, etc. Also check the error log at "/var/log/cups/error_log" | 06:56 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: some other tools try might be dmraid and fsck | 06:56 |

| jhansonxi | Firmin, usually when a job is stuck it is because the printer is not available (bad connection or on another system that is turned off), or wrong driver. | 06:57 |

| dubey | yes | 06:58 |
| juniour | dubey ur bluetooth is not running or it not detecting the device | 06:59 |
| dubey | juniour: i think so | 06:59 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: did you read through this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto, throughly before instalilng? | 07:00 |
| juniour | dubey system->preference->bluetooth manager | 07:00 |
| asdfqwer | I'm just asking cause I'm only somewhat familiar with Linux raid | 07:00 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, I'm not doing FakeRaid, so that doesn't apply... FakeRaid is for windows raid | 07:00 |
| asdfqwer | Oh that's right | 07:00 |
| dubey | juniour: giving error | 07:00 |
| jhansonxi | dubey, if it's not a driver bug then check the hardware. Many laptops have keys for disabling BlueTooth and wireless devices to save power. | 07:00 |

| kuru | Hi.. I have a weird problem. I have an ubuntu server that went out of sync (time).. I have the ntpdate script in /etc/cron.daily and is executable, etc. | 07:08 |
| kuru | I went in and ran it manually.. and it sync'ed the time | 07:08 |
| kuru | but how can it be so out of sync when it's in /etc/cron.daily ? | 07:08 |
| jhansonxi | kuru, what is the name of the script? | 07:08 |
| kuru | jhansonxi, I just said 'ntpdate' | 07:08 |
| rww | kuru: any particular reason you're using cron and ntpdate instead of the ntp daemon? | 07:09 |
| nibsa1242 | Installer failed to install GRUB. I am using a LVM on RAID setup. (/boot is just on the RAID, not on the LVM) It is linuxsoftwareraid (mdadm). | 07:09 |
| kuru | rww, I'm not running an ntp server.. I'm connecting to one to sync my clock | 07:09 |
| kuru | I have no intentions of running an ntp server | 07:09 |
| Firmin | jhansonxi what can I do with the printer issue | 07:09 |
| * kuru is confused | 07:09 | |
| juniour | hey how to chek how many shell in a system | 07:09 |
| jhansonxi | kuru, I was just checking. There was a limitation with cron that a script couldn't have an extension (like ntpdate.sh). | 07:10 |
| jhansonxi | Firmin, what is your printer make/model? | 07:10 |
| dagon88141981 | How do I register my name? | 07:10 |
| kuru | jhansonxi, ah.. interesting.. well, it doesn't have ny | 07:10 |

| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: easy solution seems to be reboot, reinstall, delete raid array, and rebuild it | 07:11 |
| asdfqwer | and just install everything from scratch | 07:11 |
| asdfqwer | is this an array created with debian? | 07:11 |
| asdfqwer | IOW, you said you had debian running on this array? | 07:11 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, that isn't going to do anything b/c the installer is just going to vomit when it tries to install grub again | 07:11 |
| dubey | how to remove login name list from login screen | 07:11 |
| jhansonxi | Firmin, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrotherDriverPackaging it should be supported. Do you have the brother driver package installed? | 07:12 |
| Firmin | yes | 07:12 |
| Firmin | via terminal | 07:12 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: so installer won't even delete your /boot partition? | 07:12 |
| asdfqwer | but it deleted your root partition fine? | 07:13 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, the arrary was partitioned within the deb installer... but the ubuntu alternate installer recognizes it and sees all the partitions... I see no reason to repartition | 07:13 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: see this thread, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346669 | 07:13 |
| jhansonxi | Firmin, I found this reference: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502345 | 07:14 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, it deleted / just fine... but all the old deb files look like they are still on /boot | 07:14 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: how many partitions are you trying to keep? | 07:14 |
| Firmin | jhansonxi Actually the link you gave me previously gave me a wierd driver link | 07:14 |
| Firmin | how do I install that ? | 07:14 |
| asdfqwer | i mean if it's just /boot, why not repartition if /boot is causing the problem? | 07:15 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, the installer refuses to install grub to /boot (which is on a mdadm RAID 1) | 07:15 |
| Firmin | jhansonxi testing synpactic way | 07:16 |
| jhansonxi | Firmin, open up the Synaptic package manager and search for "brother". Unfortunately I can't help further. I don't have that printer and I have to leave for home (it's 02:13 here in Michigan USA).. | 07:16 |
| Firmin | jhansonxi Thanks for all the help | 07:16 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, and I tried to manually install GRUB from the rescue environment (chroot) from the alternate install CD, but GRUB yelled at me when I told it to install to /dev/md0 | 07:16 |

| GreenM0nk | histo: beep requires the beep option to be enabled in the BIOS right? (it uses the internal speaker. atleast thats what i googled) | 07:18 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, right now nothing, because I'm in the livecd and the live cd refuses to see the software raid | 07:18 |

| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, although I followed that while I was in the alternate cd installer, which recognized the raid | 07:21 |
| Smrad | hi | 07:22 |
| ljsoftnet | hello | 07:22 |
| nibsa1242 | Poshepocket, it will be easier for you to remove vista, install XP, and then reinstall ubuntu. That will take time, but is pretty much fool proof. | 07:22 |
| ljsoftnet | is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150? | 07:22 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: you try sudo update-grub? | 07:23 |

| nibsa1242 | Poshepocket, I said that is the easiest... but most time consuming. Windows install won't play nice. It will overwrite your mbr. So if you install windows, you will have to fix the mbr and reinstall grub. | 07:24 |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: can you run grub? | 07:25 |
| asdfqwer | from live cd? | 07:25 |
| maco | Poshepocket: it's low-hassle to reinstall everything if you do "dpkg --get-selections > package_list" first then after the reinstall "sudo dpkg --set-selections < package_list && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade" | 07:25 |
| * cardamon <3 ignore | 07:25 | |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, yes, but for it to do anything I need to chroot... and the livecd doesn't want to see the raid or lvm | 07:26 |
| * asdfqwer gives up | 07:26 | |
| asdfqwer | nibsa1242: sorry man and good luck, lemme know your solution if I'm still available | 07:26 |
| nibsa1242 | How do I make the 10.10 live cd see a lvm on mdadm setup so I can fix GRUB? | 07:26 |

| maco | nibsa1242: install lvm | 07:27 |
| nibsa1242 | asdfqwer, its ok... obviously Ubuntu just doesn't like LVM on mdadm installs. I just don't understand why Debian handles them just fine. | 07:27 |

| Cpt_Zyph | hey guys .. just learning here.. was wondering what the differance was between regualr ubuntu and blackbuntu.. other then the software that comes with its install etc | 08:36 |
| htns | googling suggests 10.10 isn't suitable for epia type systems, should i be using a different ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| psycho_oreos | htns, might be different arch | 08:37 |
| htns | psycho_oreos, it is x86 | 08:37 |
| psycho_oreos | htns, granted but with some slightly different instruction sets that it might be missing for ubuntu to launch | 08:37 |
| htns | psycho_oreos, i see. any suggestions on how i can solve this? | 08:38 |
| === big_t_ is now known as big_t | ||
| htns | via epia is pretty common, like the 3rd biggest x86 after intel and amd | 08:38 |
| psycho_oreos | htns, none that I know of unless you could some how rebuild the entire thing from source. | 08:38 |
| psycho_oreos | there might be support forums for it but I wouldn't know them off the top of my head, not for via anyway | 08:39 |
| htns | psycho_oreos, thanks. | 08:39 |
| htns | anyone else have any suggestions i can try? | 08:39 |
| bhavesh | Why does ubuntu hangs for 7-8 seconds sometimes? | 08:39 |
| psycho_oreos | bhavesh, that's a pretty generic question, could it be hard lock? soft lock? busy with io (i.e. hard drive running ubuntu is actually busy?) | 08:40 |
| htns | ok, time to try fedora instead | 08:40 |
| bhavesh | psycho_oreos, ok | 08:41 |
| ledah | fairyshacker: are you trying to change the background or everything? | 08:41 |
| gordonjcp | bhavesh: can you tie it to a particular app? Evolution is a bit fond of just sitting there | 08:41 |
| JudeHyoe | bhavesh: no option of such function | 08:42 |
| psycho_oreos | bhavesh, I meant that you need to be more specific, if and when it lags again, quickly hit either the scroll lock, caps lock, num lock keys on the keyboard and see if they light up after you hit it, if not it might be a hard lock | 08:42 |
| bhavesh | psycho,oreos, ok ill try that next time... | 08:42 |
| fairyshacker | http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter | 08:43 |
| bhavesh | gordonjcp, it even happens on ubuntu live CD sometimes | 08:43 |
| bhavesh | gordonjcp, So I cannot tie that to a a particular app | 08:43 |
| psycho_oreos | bhavesh, that could be a hard lock then, when you were on liveCD were you able to hear the disc spinning up during the lag? | 08:43 |
| bhavesh | psycho_oreos, I guess so, | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | that's not really a hard lock | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | that's just it waiting for the disc | 08:44 |

| pypmannetjies | hey guys. Looking desperately for a way to add a (very) long message to gdm. I need to display a code of conduct message *before* someone logs in. Therefore using PreSession won't work. Also tried adding a message by using sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text_nochooser "<Your message here>" but that's a bit annoying, since the message is so long. | 09:03 |

| puff | almoxarife: More likely, but still not. | 09:27 |
| GunnDawg | Zykotick9, you were spot on, thx bud | 09:28 |

| motaka2 | what's wrong with this command ? cp -R /home/adminiaa/public_html/en/niayesh /home/adminiaa/public_html/en , it says both files are the same | 09:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | motaka2, its the same path. | 09:47 |
| exasperated | is anyone here able to help me with connecting ubuntu up to a windows infrastructure? having big problems dynamically mapping homeshares. I am trying to get my workplace to consider linux as an alternative end-user OS and this is the last hurdle! | 09:47 |
| motaka2 | ZykoticK9: I dont understand I want to copy /home/adminiaa/public_html/en/niayesh in /home/adminiaa/public_html/en | 09:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | motaka2, is niayesh a file or directory? | 09:48 |
| motaka2 | ZykoticK9: a dir | 09:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | motaka2, then that is the same location??? | 09:49 |
| Eagle | hi all :) | 09:50 |
| motaka2 | i want to copy all the contents of niayesh in the en , what should I do | 09:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | motaka2, for just the contents "cp -R /home/adminiaa/public_html/en/niayesh/* /home/adminiaa/public_html/en" should work | 09:51 |
| puppy | exaseparated; try with http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com | 09:51 |
| exasperated | puppy, I have done and I have had no response | 09:51 |
| johnlocke | something is wrong with my harddrive. I have to identical drives that are mounted at boottime with the exact same options. But I can not reach one of them. When I try to ls in it, I get Permission Denied | 09:51 |
| exasperated | posted it months ago | 09:51 |
| exasperated | been at this for aaaages :D | 09:51 |
| rwat- | exasperated: where are you with it? | 09:52 |
| johnlocke | and the drives permission is different | 09:52 |
| motaka2 | ZykoticK9: thank you | 09:52 |
| puppy | might be not explained well, I think. | 09:52 |
| exasperated | rwat, i used likewise-open to connect to the AD | 09:52 |
| johnlocke | the one that works has drwxrwxrwx , and the faulty has d-wx-wx-wx | 09:52 |
| exasperated | which is fine | 09:52 |
| exasperated | problem is we have users homeshares dynamically mapped on windows | 09:53 |
| exasperated | via the %homeshare% set variable | 09:53 |
| exasperated | which is set by the AD by username | 09:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | johnlocke, the faulty one is missing read | 09:53 |
| johnlocke | ZykoticK9: Yes, but why? It has the same options when mounting? | 09:53 |
| exasperated | if we want an automapping script for the linux machines, then we need to dynamically map them too | 09:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | johnlocke, is this a NTFS/FAT partition? | 09:53 |
| johnlocke | ext4 | 09:53 |
| exasperated | as there is no real rhyme or reason to where the drives are | 09:53 |
| johnlocke | mount options are rw,users,owner | 09:53 |
| rwat- | exasperated: so you're trying to use the linux machines as storage for windows clients? | 09:54 |
| johnlocke | and the other harddrive is identical | 09:54 |
| johnlocke | with the same mount options | 09:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | johnlocke, then change the permissions once it's mounted? | 09:54 |
| johnlocke | well that worked | 09:54 |
| rwat- | exasperated: or is this per user file sharing between clients? | 09:55 |
| johnlocke | now I can read it. But how come they mount with different permissions? | 09:55 |
| johnlocke | that's just stupid | 09:55 |
| exasperated | rwat, no we intend to use them for end user machines. I am trying to push the company away from windows boxes for users but it would cost too much to overhaul the infrastructure which is windows AD (server 2003 i believe) | 09:55 |
| exasperated | some users need windows for some apps | 09:55 |
| johnlocke | thank you for the help ZykoticK9 | 09:55 |
| exasperated | but most just need web and word processing | 09:55 |
| exasperated | no need to pay £200 in licensing for that! | 09:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | johnlocke, glad to help :) | 09:55 |
| rwat- | exasperated: ok so your DC is windows AD? | 09:55 |
| exasperated | yes | 09:55 |
| rwat- | client logs in to that and homedirectory is set by it | 09:56 |
| rwat- | so home directory is somewhere on a windows share? | 09:56 |
| exasperated | rwat exactly | 09:56 |
| puppy | exaseparated; now u got it,I am happy | 09:56 |
| exasperated | rwat the command in windows is net use m: %homeshare% | 09:56 |
| rwat- | exasperated: ok, so when linux client logs in, what happens? | 09:57 |
| justin__ | Cannot get samba to share from server. How do I configure it over the ssh? | 09:57 |
| exasperated | rwat, they can map the drives by path, but we want to script it so that the drive maps automatically on logon, querying the DC for the users homeshare | 09:58 |
| rwat- | ok, so at the moment linux users can't see their home drive | 09:58 |
| exasperated | rwat, they can if they map it, but that isnt something we can give to end users | 09:58 |
| exasperated | also the homeshares are placed wherever there is space | 09:59 |
| rwat- | so something needs to get the name of the windows share from AD and mount on /home/user on linux box | 09:59 |
| exasperated | rwat, exactly :D | 09:59 |
| rwat- | right - I just need to check something | 09:59 |
| exasperated | rwat i have been at this for months, if you have the answer i shall name my firstborn "rwat"!!!! | 10:00 |
| Eagle | Im trying to get a game to work for someone, he has Ubuntu 10.10, and I have Installed wine, and gone to the properties/permissions/ and allowed executing file as program. but when I double click it to open it up the screen goes black as if its loading but then returns to the desktop and everything is way bigger like someone zoomed the desktop, How can I get it to work?, Oh the games called Warcraft 3 I think... | 10:00 |
| alien260 | Eagle, to set up games within ubuntu i usually use playonlinux http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ - it uses scripts to automatically install dependancys that games need | 10:02 |

| rwat- | exasperated: at least I think so :) In that example the share is on samba, but it *should* work with Genuine Windows (TM) :) | 10:10 |

| Ileden | Hi! Many of the draw-intensive operations on my Ubuntu computer are rather slow, which is proving very hard to debug. However one symptom is that during rendering a web page in Google Chrome (which takes unnaturally long time), even movement of the mouse cursor becomes jerky. There are no resrouce-hog processes listed by htop. Any idea what could be causing this, or how could I debug further? | 10:15 |
| GunnDawg | What is the preferred programming language for linux app development ? | 10:16 |
| Ileden | GunnDawg: depends on the application. | 10:16 |
| GunnDawg | is Python used more widely than other languages ? | 10:17 |
| Ileden | GunnDawg: I believe c++ is rather widely used, python for lighter stuff. Not an expert myself, though... | 10:17 |
| exasperated | rwat, the page refers to pam_mount.config but only a pam_mount.config.xml exists. according to the manpage, this is how it should be. would the syntax be the same or will the code in the example not work here? | 10:18 |
| Tricks | one other thing that might be worth mentioning is that I now have a ATI card as opposed to a NVIDIA in the other machine. I've noticed when using firefox scrolling through a page will cause the page to be rendered in blocks rather than smoothly (how a windows machine would look with no video card drivers) | 10:18 |
| Ileden | GunnDawg: If you're trying to learn, Python might be a good palce to start. | 10:18 |
| Bushman | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g | 10:18 |
| GunnDawg | ah ok, I have been a windows programmer for several years and have recently moved over here to linux/ubuntu | 10:18 |
| GunnDawg | and wanna continue my programming over here on linux and see what I can do | 10:18 |
| Bushman | ave | 10:18 |
| Ileden | Tricks: if it's the same installation, leftover NVIDIA drivers might cause some weird trouble. | 10:20 |
| Tricks | Ileden, thanks for the reply, yes it is the same. CPU constantly 100% laggy as hell. If I type it takes a good 10 seconds to catch up with me | 10:20 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| Ileden | Tricks: for me, the trouble was that the leftover drivers prevented my computer from detecting the new display card somehow. I ended up doing a reinstall just to get my computer to get proper drivers. ugly stuff. | 10:22 |
| === derrick__ is now known as pcfreak30 | ||
| Ileden | Tricks: you can look from output of "dmesg" whether right drivers are loaded. Don't ask me how, though. :D | 10:22 |
| Ileden | GunnDawg: well, then it really depends on the app you're making. | 10:23 |

| SammyTheSnake | emo: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21910 | 10:31 |
| SammyTheSnake | emo: I'd recommend installing wine from the wine repo rather than a distro repo, as you're more likely to get the most up to date version | 10:32 |
| edwardteach | pcfreak30, are you just trying to share the internet connection or are you trying to connect the ubuntu box to the ps3 | 10:32 |
| emo | havent bin using linux long but i so prefer it to windows | 10:32 |
| emo | so i wanted to install my games n errthing else on this side of the os | 10:32 |
| bejammin | I think it's just an issue with Play On Linux then | 10:33 |
| bejammin | that's what you have right? | 10:33 |
| emo | ya | 10:33 |
| pcfreak30 | edwardteach, im trying to get internet through my ps3. ive tried a old method i found for xbox by a bunch of iptables rules but it doesnt seem to work. just trying to get a easy way to do so | 10:33 |

| bejammin | I wish I could help more, but I've never had any luck with windows emulation on my machine | 10:34 |
| pcfreak30 | emo, not everything windows can run on linux. games like black ops rely on directx which is propietary to microsoft. you out of luck if your looking to use ubuntu as a gaming pc | 10:34 |
| bejammin | anyways, I had a really weird issue with my home bar | 10:34 |

| Eagle | emo: sorry whats the problem? | 10:37 |
| emo | yes the call of duty modern wf is working | 10:37 |
| emo | but the black ops wont install | 10:37 |
| bejammin | did you install CoD straight to your Linux hard drive or are you dual booting hard drives and the windows one has CoD? | 10:38 |
| emo | the old call of duty runs so much beta on linux than it does on my windows side | 10:38 |
| emo | dual booting | 10:38 |
| bejammin | that might be the issue then, try installing Black Ops on your windows and loading it off of there | 10:38 |
| emo | but its installled on both sides | 10:38 |
| emo | am not sure how to load it off from the windows side | 10:39 |
| bejammin | ah... | 10:39 |
| xebii | hello | 10:39 |
| bejammin | hi | 10:39 |
| pcfreak30 | So how can I use NetworkManager and Firestarter to do internet connection sharing | 10:39 |
| xebii | how are you? | 10:39 |
| pcfreak30 | as it keeps saying eth0 isnt ready (whats connect to my ps3) | 10:40 |
| emo | so if i install the blackops on my windows side can i run in from the linux side | 10:40 |
| emo | ?? | 10:40 |
| emo | if i install the blackops on the windows side can i run it from my linux os??? | 10:42 |
| GunnDawg | hey folks I have downloaded Docky but am un sure how to launch it and get it goin | 10:44 |

| abhilash | can i create a user who can only install/remove software but not become sudo? Like an ITAdmin on ubuntu 10.04. what exactly i need to do? | 10:46 |
| sugoruyo | gordonjcp: I knew i'd get an answer like that, but that's not true... optical media get mounted under /media with their label | 10:46 |
| bazhang | GunnDawg, what about alt f2 docky | 10:46 |
| GunnDawg | Thanks bazhang, that worked | 10:47 |
| bazhang | abhilash, you need sudo to install software | 10:47 |
| Tricks | ok can anybody tell me how I can identify if an old driver is still running? | 10:47 |
| sugoruyo | GunnDawg: it should be in the menu, under Accessories I think - at least that's where I see it when I install it | 10:47 |
| bazhang | Tricks, lsmod -a ? | 10:47 |
| abhilash | bazhang: yes, but any other way is possible? i want w types of users on my system. So asking this. | 10:47 |
| GunnDawg | is there any way to move or edit the docky bar ? | 10:48 |
| gordonjcp | sugoruyo: I haven't had a machine with optical media for years, so I don't really know. I was just guessing. | 10:48 |
| bazhang | abhilash, why would you want this, could you please elaborate | 10:48 |
| Tricks | bazhang, thanks mate :-) | 10:48 |
| bazhang | GunnDawg, does docky have a help page? typically 'man docky' or docky --help will show it | 10:49 |
| abhilash | bazhang: 1 user is admin, which is me, 2 is an IT admin who can install/configure software but he should not be able to view my files/directories. | 10:49 |
| sugoruyo | gordonjcp: well the problem is I've seen /cdrom on machines without optical media as well... if CD/DVD's don't mount there what's the point of having it? I'm doing some linux documentation and I sorta want it to be complete... | 10:49 |
| bazhang | abhilash, a separate user won't be able to view your home directory | 10:49 |
| abhilash | bazhang: since installing software needs sudo, the 2 user can easily become sudo and view my files. | 10:50 |
| sugoruyo | abhilash: noone becomes sudo | 10:50 |
| abhilash | its possible, he can cd to my /home/abhi and view files. | 10:50 |
| edwardteach | pcfreak30, eth0 is for wired connection and eth1 is for wireless if your trying to connect through wireless plus network-manager will default to wired connection eth0 if both connections are present ! | 10:50 |
| sugoruyo | abhilash: one might become root, sudo is a program you run to use root privileges | 10:50 |
| pcfreak30 | edwardteach, im on wlan0, and im trying to share my connection with my ps3 via eth0. | 10:51 |

| sugoruyo | abhilash: what one can do is | 10:51 |
| abhilash | sugoruyo: yes i don't want to give sudo privilage to IT user, but he can install/ modify softwares but cannot see my files. | 10:51 |
| pcfreak30 | m issue there | 10:52 |
| sugoruyo | abhilash: what one can do is run 'sudo su' and that's how you "become" root | 10:52 |
| pcfreak30 | ive tried all that | 10:52 |
| abhilash | sugoruyo: yes please suggest.. | 10:52 |
| bazhang | abhilash, he has to have sudo for that. | 10:52 |
| bazhang | sugoruyo, please do not recommend that | 10:52 |
| pcfreak30 | networkmanager doesnt allow a blank default gateway which is required via firestarter docs | 10:52 |
| abhilash | sugoruyo: did u understand my problem? | 10:52 |
| sugoruyo | bazhang: i did not recommend anything, i just explained that sudo doesn't automatically turn you into root | 10:53 |
| abhilash | bazhang: you have understood my problem, see if you can help:) | 10:53 |
| bazhang | sugoruyo, okay | 10:53 |
| sugoruyo | abhilash: maybe you can restrict what commands one may run with sudo, by editing /etc/sudoers... you do that with visudo | 10:53 |
| abhilash | sugoruyo: i know root is disabled in ubuntu default, i have some other problem.. | 10:53 |
| sugoruyo | abhilash: check the man page and maybe a good howto on the net 'cause the syntax of sudoers can be a bit tricky | 10:54 |
| abhilash | sugoruyo: oh is it! i'll see more to that....... | 10:54 |

| Coded1 | how do I set the root pass? | 11:08 |
| bazhang | Coded1, you dont | 11:08 |
| Coded1 | huh? | 11:09 |
| bazhang | !root | Coded1 | 11:09 |
| ubottu | Coded1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:09 |
| pcfreak30 | bazhang, thats for running ubuntu on linux, which im not doing | 11:09 |
| bazhang | Coded1, use sudo, or sudo -i for a root shell if you must | 11:09 |
| Coded1 | the #linux guys said u guys would get all mad at me for setting root | 11:09 |
| puppy | bazhang: it works...thanks | 11:09 |
| LjL | Coded1: wow, they're like prophets! | 11:09 |
| bazhang | Coded1, so no real reason to ask then | 11:09 |
| sipior | Coded1: well, "mad" is a bit extreme. | 11:09 |
| Coded1 | true | 11:09 |
| Coded1 | just curious | 11:10 |

| viddy | who needs a root password! | 11:10 |
| viddy | its 2011! | 11:10 |

| sipior | viddy: sometimes sudo breaks. | 11:10 |
| viddy | yeah, i know | 11:10 |
| Coded1 | you mean all the #linux guys are just arrogant bastards! | 11:10 |
| viddy | thats when you boot into single user mode and set a root password | 11:10 |
| Coded1 | ? | 11:10 |
| bazhang | Coded1, offtopic, lets move on | 11:10 |
| Coded1 | would 'sudo passwd' work? | 11:11 |
| viddy | Coded1: sudo su - | 11:11 |
| sipior | Coded1: yep. | 11:11 |
| LjL | Coded1: we merely mean that Ubuntu is engineered to work without a root password, so don't use one, or at least don't expect us to support one here | 11:11 |
| bazhang | Coded1, I already told you what to do | 11:11 |
| bazhang | Coded1, sudo, or sudo -i for a root shell | 11:11 |
| puppy | bazhang: nautilus is not in the open with menu but I used " use a custom command" and added nautilus | 11:12 |

| sugoruyo | pcfreak30: you may have already considered/tried/answered this but doesn't your PS3 have a wireless connection? | 11:20 |

| blakez | it's linux for children | 11:22 |
| Coded1 | blakez: unless ur isp is for linux | 11:22 |
| blakez | DNS is part of the linux API stack | 11:22 |
| blakez | so yes it does | 11:22 |
| Gnea | blakez: hardly. | 11:22 |
| fenre | what is your definition of "real linux" then? | 11:22 |
| Coded1 | blakez: is dumb | 11:22 |
| Gnea | it's linux made easy, so people can understand it better | 11:22 |
| blakez | fenre: real linux as in say... freebsd | 11:22 |
| sugoruyo | pcfreak30: my question pertained to the builtin wifi on ps3's, certainly setting up is much easier than what you want to do, unless your ps3 doesn't have wifi, or the wifi network you join has some sort of protection | 11:22 |
| Gnea | because not everyone in the world is technically inclined, as they concentrate on other things to make our lives easier | 11:23 |
| Gnea | so, what's dumb? | 11:23 |
| fenre | that's stupid. FreeBSD is not linux at all :P | 11:23 |
| blakez | Gnea: what do you focus on? | 11:23 |
| * MrDick :P | 11:23 | |
| Gnea | blakez: what's it to you? | 11:23 |
| sugoruyo | pcfreak30: what you want to do is set up one network between the PS3 and Ubuntu machine (complete with its own subnet and all) and join the wifi network you get internet service from | 11:23 |
| blakez | fenre: freebsd was the original linux before all you kids used ubuntu with pretty colors and GUI interfases | 11:23 |
| Gnea | blakez: I'm an Ubuntu helper, that's all you need to know. | 11:23 |
| blakez | fenre: the real old school linux geeks use freebsd | 11:23 |
| Coded1 | Gnea: dumb is saying "because my router sets a bit field my choice of linux is because I'm stupid" | 11:24 |
| Gnea | blakez: incorrect, FreeBSD is a derivative of BSD, which is not and never has been Linux. | 11:24 |
| pcfreak30 | sugoruyo, ok. i have eth0 and wlan0. all i want it to share my internet to my ps3. ive tried uptables, firestart and network manager with no luck. any help? | 11:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | blakez, calling freebsd a linux just shows your ignorance | 11:24 |
| Gnea | Coded1: lol | 11:24 |
| fenre | I'm a Gentoo use myself, so I know what "real linux" is. FreeBSD is BSD. Doesn't even use the linux kernel.. | 11:24 |
| blakez | real linux has text that looks like the matrix, ubuntu looks like an ugly version of windows xp | 11:24 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, what its the problem? are you using wire or wireless? | 11:24 |
| Gnea | blakez: I'm sorry, but you have quite a warped perception of reality. | 11:25 |
| sugoruyo | pcfreak30: you then need to configure ubuntu (iptables basically) to route from one net to the other, plus get rid of any firewall restrictions and set up NAT for it to work, the PS3 should either have static settings for everything or you'll need a DHCP server as well | 11:25 |
| fenre | I'm with Gnea | 11:25 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, I am on wifi ATm and connecting my ps3 via eth0 WIREd. | 11:25 |

| major_ | what are you connecting the ps3 to? the pc? the router? | 11:25 |

| sugoruyo | pcfreak30: then the network between the two machines is not configured correctly | 11:28 |

| pvl1 | GunnDawg, what language | 11:30 |
| mattie | l | 11:30 |
| Gnea | blakez: I won't warn you again. Please stay on-topic or go elsewhere. | 11:30 |
| GunnDawg | and see if there is anyway i could contribute my skills to the linux community | 11:30 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: very cool | 11:30 |
| GunnDawg | Pvl1, just about every language under the sun | 11:30 |
| pcfreak30 | Failed to start the firewall, eth0 is not ready <-- error from firestarter | 11:30 |
| blakez | Gnea: nigger. | 11:31 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: what motivated you to look into it? | 11:31 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, i guess the network manager trick will do for the iptables rule... now, what are the ips? can you paste them? | 11:31 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, both in ps3 and pc interfaces | 11:31 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, the open source enviroment and the free feeling I have gotten over the past 24 hours from Ubuntu is enough to make me wanna not go back to windows, its a unique feeling | 11:31 |
| Gnea | !ops | blakez is offtopic, abusive and generally not a nice person. | 11:31 |

| major_ | btw, pcfreak30 disable firestarter.... it will block everything unless you know what you are doing | 11:31 |
| vultraz | um..I'm downloading a vista recovery ISO torrent with deluge, and it says 'seeding'. what does that mean, and how long will it take? | 11:31 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, what made me wanna look into it? well as a programmer I have a natural desire to explore my options and the horizon | 11:32 |
| fenre | GunnDawg, yes, that's the biggest upside for going with linux :) | 11:32 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: well, it's a good way to go if you've got bright prospects | 11:32 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, when ever i run sudo ifconfig eth0, it gives no ip information. my pc ip is 192.168.1.1, and im trying to use a subnet on 192.168.0.1. ps3 is configred as 192.168.0.2 | 11:32 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, I think it'll be a great OS to keep onboard this laptop as I dont game on it, I save the gaming for my xp system | 11:33 |
| GunnDawg | but I think it'll make a GREAT OS for a laptop | 11:33 |
| fenre | it is | 11:33 |
| blakez | GunnDawg: you keep repeating yourself | 11:33 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, so you cant configure eth0? | 11:33 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, ive tried using firestarter to shared, but it just errors with eth0. firestarter docs says to configure it statically but i cant use a blank gateway | 11:33 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: you may find that gaming in Ubuntu is quite possible, once you've worked some of the kinks out | 11:33 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, disable firestarted. you dont need it at all | 11:33 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, yeah I've done a bit of reading on it | 11:34 |
| GunnDawg | blakez, thats fine | 11:34 |
| fenre | blakez, why this attitude? | 11:34 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, not just close it... disable it | 11:34 |
| Gnea | !attitude | blakez | 11:34 |
| ubottu | blakez: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 11:34 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, just tell me what i need to attempt to do in firestarter/network manager. eth0 is on shared via network manager | 11:34 |
| === schnuffle1 is now known as guest64 | ||
| blakez | Gnea: how does that even apply? | 11:34 |
| Gnea | blakez: like that. | 11:34 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, i have firestarter and i have eth0 set to shared wth other pcs via networkmanager. what to do? | 11:35 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea but the real interest I have in ubuntu at the moment is seeing what I can do as far as programming goes over here | 11:35 |
| |Long| | stuck at grub boot menu can someone help plz? un-install and re-install seems didnt fix this issue | 11:35 |
| fenre | trolls can be fun, but they're mostly annoying | 11:35 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, you only need 3 things... an iptable rule to do the masquerade, set ipforwarding in the kernel and configure the proper ips in the interfaces | 11:35 |
| ikonia | fenre: then don't comment on them please | 11:35 |
| Tricks | does anybody know what this line means in lsmod: agpgart 31724 2 fglrx,nvidia_agp | 11:35 |
| guest64 | hm | 11:36 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, disable the share thing on network manager and firestarter | 11:36 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: if there's one thing that I keep hearing people stumble upon is the lack of a standard | 11:36 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, what do you mean by that | 11:36 |
| jenka | Hi ! I need to change my kernel Hz to 1000. Im just wonder if this will affect the server in a bad way? (It has 100 hz now) And do you know a good "How to" to change the Hz and recompile the kernel? :) | 11:36 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, use this rule iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE | 11:36 |
| === guest64 is now known as schnuffle | ||
| muellisoft | Tricks: yes | 11:36 |
| === muellisoft is now known as Muelli | ||
| pcfreak30 | major_, that doesnt help me at all really. i have ipfowarding, i dont know what to coinfigure eth0 with/as and idk what to use to do the iptables and i dont know iptables at all myself | 11:37 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: in windows and macosx, there is a standard API for the GUI that nearly every program adheres to. In Linux, these days there are some choices: GTK, Gnome, QT and FLTK. | 11:37 |
| GunnDawg | ah, right | 11:37 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, first thing first. how do i need to have eth0 configured? | 11:37 |
| Tricks | Muelli, ok does it mean that i have two graphics card drivers running? | 11:38 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, as a long time windows programmer I dont even know where to begin with linux programming, lol | 11:38 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: what is nice about Ubuntu is that it's easy to package a program up with the dependencies. the problem occurs when you try to make it work on multiple distributions. | 11:38 |
| major_ | pcfreak30 sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 11:38 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: but, many groups have been able to solve that, so it's not impossible. | 11:38 |
| === iflema is now known as tremmons | ||
| major_ | pcfreak30, then iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE in the console | 11:38 |
| Gnea | the problem still remains: a lack of a standard. | 11:38 |
| Muelli | Tricks: no | 11:39 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, what seems to be the standard language to compile in ? | 11:39 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, ok.. | 11:39 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, and echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward as root | 11:39 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: well, the kernel itself has traditionally, and still is, written in C | 11:39 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, mk. eth0 is up already too | 11:39 |
| GunnDawg | ah very well | 11:39 |
| major_ | thats the only 3 things you need... disable everything else that is messing your conf | 11:39 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: and different APIs have roots with either C or C++ | 11:39 |
| Tricks | Muelli, ok cool I think I've managed to remove my old nVIDIA drivers then :) | 11:39 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, I prefer C or C++ so that's good news | 11:40 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, done | 11:40 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: you'll have a lot of fun then :) | 11:40 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, right now I am just messing around with making custom shell scripts | 11:40 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, try connecting internet from the ps3 | 11:40 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, fails on dns error. uaing opendns | 11:41 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: shell scripting is awesome, I use it consistently | 11:41 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, if done it like 5 times with pcs with no problems at all... it should not be different in ps3 | 11:41 |
| major_ | ok, set the dns for ps3 to 8.8.8.8 | 11:41 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, what do you use it for? I just made my self a control panel to update my packages, and a few other nice features | 11:41 |
| pcfreak30 | hmm. ill try on my xbox. i have a iptables rule set in a script that works | 11:41 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: many different things. one of these days, I will get a website put back together and put them up for people to download and modify to their hearts content. | 11:42 |
| === tremmons is now known as iflema | ||
| GunnDawg | Gnea give me some specific things you have done, I need ideas to mess and toy with ;) | 11:42 |
| GunnDawg | im not entirely sure of its depth or flexibility | 11:43 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: the last one turned out pretty nice - it was used to convert analog video to digital (basically VHS tapes to DVD and MPEG to play in a player or stream remotely) | 11:43 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, paste sudo iptables -L | 11:43 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, wow you did that with simply shell scripts ? | 11:43 |
| farciarz94 | hi I want to open vsd ms visio file.I used vsdump and need some helpwhat next | 11:44 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: yup, all in one shell script. you'd basically throw all of the prepared videos into a directory, run the script and walk away. come back the next day and everything's ready. | 11:44 |
| jamesr_ | Hello all, I have a bit of a weird problem with my laptop, I have an external display connected, it works fine over VGA but when I use DVI/HDMI it shows connected in xrandr -q but there is no output down it. Its a Mobile Intel HM57 Express using the i915 driver. | 11:44 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea shell scripts seem like they are based off much of C | 11:44 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, I could be wrong though | 11:44 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: a lot of the same programming elements port quite well (functions, etc) | 11:45 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, may i ask you why do you not connect the ps3 via wireless as you are doing with the pc? | 11:45 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, very true indeed | 11:45 |
| * lukasznaw is away: afk | 11:45 | |
| ikonia | !away > lukasznaw | 11:45 |
| ubottu | lukasznaw, please see my private message | 11:45 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, just messing around in linux and trying to come up with ideas is becoming more addicting | 11:45 |
| GunnDawg | Gnea, who would have thought just exploring an OS could become an addiction, lol :) | 11:46 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: the only reason we didn't use windows was because we needed to be able to tweak certain values and streamline the process when we needed to - didn't have that freedom, plus windows was too prone to crashing in the middle of a conversion. | 11:46 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, i have my reasons i just rather not say... sadly my rooms bit of a mess and i can not find my xbox controller, lol. | 11:46 |
| major_ | GunnDawg, and Gnea do you mind going to #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 11:46 |
| Gnea | GunnDawg: heh, when I first got linux installed, I spent 3 months ripping it apart and putting it back together (redhat 4.1) only to realize that slackware was what I needed to run at the time. Eventually, I went onto Debian, Gentoo and then Ubuntu. | 11:47 |
| GunnDawg | major_ np | 11:47 |
| Gnea | major_: you're right, sorry | 11:47 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, other thing you can do is connect the pc to the wire and share wireless via laptop, witch is a much easier process | 11:48 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, so i just tried on my xbox and it cant even get through a static ip | 11:49 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, and i cant think of any reason not to connect the ps3 to the wireless instead of doing all the problems you are going throu | 11:49 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, paste sudo iptables -L | 11:50 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, http://pastie.org/1498902 | 11:50 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, thats the xbox script i used. tried modifing it for ps3 ports to no success | 11:50 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, it does work btw | 11:51 |
| major_ | what does work pcfreak30 ? | 11:51 |
| farciarz94 | can I open vsd files? | 11:51 |
| farciarz94 | in ubuntu/? | 11:51 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, http://pastie.org/1498902, i use that for my xbox and it works fine. | 11:52 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, im not an expert on iptables... but id say withthose rules set, it will drop anything but those rules | 11:52 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, paste sudo iptables -L | 11:52 |
| major_ | if those rules are running, it wont let you connect to ps3 | 11:53 |
| major_ | drop all rules | 11:53 |
| major_ | yo dont need specific ports to forward connection, you fordwar everything with nat | 11:54 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, http://pastie.org/1498907 | 11:54 |
| === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs | ||
| major_ | pcfreak30, would you let the whole command run? | 11:55 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, http://pastie.org/1498911 | 11:55 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, lo, sry didnt realize | 11:55 |
| jhattara | i'm having bit of a problem with my computer, df says available hdd space is 0 and dmesg gives: [drm:mga_dma_flush] *ERROR* mga_dma_flush called without lock held, held | 11:56 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, my xbox connected :) | 11:57 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, i just hope its not just my old iptables rules for my xbox | 11:58 |
| major_ | i think so | 11:58 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, those are weird rules btw... you only need one rule, the masquerade one, that translate everything throu nat to the shared pc or console | 11:59 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, http://www.howtoforge.com/internet-connection-sharing-masquerading-on-linux here you have a tutorial. It tells you how to flush all tables and set the only rules that matter | 11:59 |

| gharz | guys, any idea if there's something wrong with ubuntu repo? i've been getting 404 not found IP 91.189.88.30 80 error everytime i try to upgrade my system. anyone? | 12:03 |
| iiname | hi bazhang | 12:03 |
| bazhang | gharz, try another mirror perhaps? | 12:03 |
| iiname | @bahzang apt-get install mutlitouch-kernel-source | 12:04 |
| bazhang | iiname, what is the device that ubuntu is running on | 12:05 |
| iiname | hello bahzang | 12:05 |
| iiname | it is a tablet pc | 12:05 |
| Bushman | JackyAlcine: yea, it is. did you seen both? the parody AND the mixed one? | 12:05 |
| bazhang | Bushman, stay on topic please | 12:05 |
| bazhang | iiname, which tablet pc | 12:05 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, im not sure whats up but my ps3 fails to a dns error yet my xbox goes through? | 12:05 |

| jhattara | how can i stop Xorg ? | 12:06 |
| iiname | it is a tablet pc called tycoon from fic | 12:06 |
| JackyAlcine | jhattara: sudo killall Xorg | 12:06 |
| JackyAlcine | jhattara: That should drop you back down to the TTY. | 12:06 |
| jhattara | JackyAlcine, is there any friendlly way of doint this ? | 12:06 |
| Bushman | bazhang: sure, i'll stay on topic | 12:06 |
| jhattara | tried to stop gdm, but that didn't work, just wondering if there are any other ways | 12:07 |
| Bushman | bazhang: i have ubuntu 10.04 and i need help | 12:07 |
| JackyAlcine | jhattara: It's not normally needed. Usually the Xserver is stopped (and then restarted) when you log off. | 12:07 |
| iiname | @bazhang i have located another package evtouch | 12:07 |
| iiname | should I try that? | 12:07 |
| bazhang | iiname, okay, sure why not | 12:07 |
| iiname | and before installing evtouch, should i uninstall multitouch? | 12:07 |
| jhattara | JackyAlcine, i know, i'm currently logged in with SSH and noticed that the gdm and Xorg logs took up all of the empty HDD space and Xorg takes up 85% of CPU | 12:08 |
| UBANTOO | What can ubuntu do that windows cannot? | 12:08 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, im not sure its a dns erros... in the last error u pasted it said using opendns... | 12:08 |

| iiname | 10.04 LTS | 12:08 |
| bazhang | iiname, via the package manager | 12:08 |
| UBANTOO | Will all the hardware in my laptop be supported before it is obsolete? | 12:09 |
| iiname | thanks bazhang | 12:09 |
| bazhang | UBANTOO, hard to say. that's too vague a question | 12:09 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, dont use both consoles connected at the same time... run the tutorial commands i pasted you to flush the rules, or reboot the pc... then do the masquerade rule i pasted for you | 12:09 |
| major_ | set the ips, and you dont really need anything else | 12:09 |
| iiname | bazhang, on software Center, multitouch does not show up as installed | 12:10 |

| sundar | Hi.. I have a curious problem: whatever firefox I install (Ubuntu stock or the latest 3.6.stuff in tar.bz2), it loses its Back and Forward buttons after some time! Has anyone seen this ever? | 12:10 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, well it seems by switching the ethernet corn it resets ptables automatically. as eth0 goes down. im just trying to figure out whats wth ps3 and my xbox runs fine with it | 12:11 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, and btw, i dont really understand why cant u just connect to the wireless just ike you do with your laptop. Even if its a stole wifi, the total bandwidh you are using its the same | 12:11 |
| KSHawkEye | Hey, quick question (probably a really simple one) but I would like to build MinGW-w64 on Ubuntu and use it as a cross compiler for Windows 32 and 64. Reading "Cross Win32 and Win64 compiler" I see that it needs binutils built and installed. Is that the same binutils as the one that is found at http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ and if it is isn't that the same one that is installed with "apt-get install binutils"? If it is, do I need | 12:11 |
| bazhang | iiname, you installed via package manager, correct? then search in synaptic, perhaps you are mispelling it | 12:11 |
| iiname | all i did was to type the command sudo apt-get install multitouch-kernel-source | 12:11 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, stolen wifi, thats funny. i have wifi router, its not stolen. | 12:11 |
| JackyAlcine | jhattara: Try sudo killall xinit; that should stop it. | 12:11 |
| iiname | no, i installed it via terminal | 12:11 |
| bazhang | iiname, then apt-get remove it | 12:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | what command could I use from a script to substitute a single (known) line with another? From file X I want to substitute the line "blah blah" with "foo foo" sorta thing? | 12:12 |
| iiname | since the package name says source, is there any after process to be followed to install it? | 12:12 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, and do u mind sharing why dont you want to connect directly the ps3 to wireles?? im really curious | 12:12 |
| iiname | such as the package build process? | 12:12 |
| jhattara | JackyAlcine, sudo kill -9 [Xorg's pid] worked | 12:12 |
| JackyAlcine | jhattera: Alright. | 12:12 |
| jhattara | JackyAlcine, now i'm just waiting to get home from work, so that i can check what damage was done and what caused it | 12:13 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, its a very phishy reason so id rather not say, as it relates to some illegal acts. im just keeping it quiet for my sake. if u seriously want to know, pm me | 12:13 |
| major_ | pcfreak30, you dont need so many rules... with the masquerade rule is like your ps3 is directly connected to the router from the poing of view of the ps3 | 12:13 |
| bazhang | pcfreak30, we dont support that here | 12:14 |

| hazz | any clue how to restore ubuntu from intramfs? | 12:14 |
| bazhang | pcfreak30, the illegal acts you *just* mentioned | 12:14 |
| pcfreak30 | um thats all i said. never said wehat it was, but just forget about it as i kinda assumed someone would say that | 12:15 |
| bazhang | pcfreak30, nonetheless illegal acts are not supported here. lets move on | 12:15 |
| major_ | well it all depens bazhang, pcfreak30 are you on international waters? | 12:16 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, im in usa... | 12:17 |
| bazhang | major_, it depends on nothing. lets move on. | 12:17 |
| major_ | hehehe | 12:17 |
| pcfreak30 | major_, i know ur curious but drop it b4 ops kick us both please | 12:17 |

| sundar | Hi all.. I have a curious problem: in my Ubuntu, whatever firefox I install (via Ubuntu package manager or the latest 3.6.stuff in tar.bz2 manually), it loses its Back and Forward buttons after some time! Has anyone seen this ever? Happens in safe mode too. | 12:18 |
| bazhang | sundar, you installed from tar.gz? why not the package manager | 12:18 |
| sundar | bazhang: I tried both | 12:19 |
| bazhang | sundar, what version of ubuntu is this by the way | 12:19 |
| sundar | bazhang: when the package manager's version of firefox showed this problem, I tried the tar.bz2 from mozilla's site hoping it wouldn't. | 12:19 |
| JackyAlcine | bazhang: I understand how you don't condone illegal acts; but if help's requested of a user, Ubuntu clearly states we're here for each other. | 12:20 |
| sundar | bazhang: Maverick Meerkat (10.10) | 12:20 |
| bazhang | sundar, better to try and fix the package manager version then install from 3rd party sources; frankly an unsupported PPA would be better than that | 12:20 |
| bazhang | JackyAlcine, no. lets move on. | 12:20 |
| sundar | bazhang: how do I try and fix it in that case too? | 12:21 |
| almoxarife | sundar: how long after install do you see the issue arise? | 12:21 |
| sundar | almoxarife: around one hour I'd say | 12:21 |
| demian | i just create a new user that has not access to a ntfs patition | 12:22 |
| demian | somebody please help me | 12:22 |
| almoxarife | sundar: you are just browsing and it occurs? or you got to a specific site? | 12:22 |
| sundar | almoxarife: as far as I see, it just occurs by itself. And the Back button gets disabled on pages where it was previously enabled too. | 12:23 |
| iiname | bazhang I have a problem installing evtouch | 12:24 |
| iiname | followed the steps at page http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html | 12:24 |
| iiname | downloaded and unpacked the tar ball at /home/evtouch | 12:25 |
| hazz | can someone help me restoring ubuntu from intramfs? | 12:25 |
| hazz | it crashed after an upgrade | 12:25 |
| sundar | this is the one thing that keeps me from using ubuntu, unfortunately. I mostly live inside Firefox, and Chromium isn't a sufficient substitute for me. | 12:25 |
| iiname | copied evtouch_drv.so to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/" | 12:25 |
| almoxarife | sundar: try installing chrome? | 12:25 |
| iiname | after that can't find xorg.conf in my computer | 12:25 |
| sundar | almoxarife: the extension support isn't good enough for me. also some extensions I frequently use are missing. | 12:26 |
| bazhang | hazz, now in busybox? | 12:26 |
| hazz | yes | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | iiname: theres no xorg.conf by default. you can make one. X auto configures for the most part these days | 12:27 |
| hazz | yesterday i wanted to chroot but it failed | 12:27 |
| sundar | almoxarife: for eg., Tree Style Tabs and Ctrl-Tab extensions seem to be not even possible in Chrome, and Repagination while possible hasn't been ported by anyone. | 12:28 |
| grunk | Does anyone know a good screen recording tool, for recording games? I would prefer one that didnt kill my systems performance totally | 12:29 |

| ubottu | grunk: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 12:30 |
| iiname | thanks Dr_Willis | 12:30 |
| grunk | thanks, bazhang. I will check it out. | 12:30 |
| amit | and how to know the mount point of that drive | 12:30 |
| iiname | I will sudo gedit xorg.conf in the specified directory, it will open an empty file where I can paste the suggested code? | 12:30 |
| grunk | exit | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | iiname: by default there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf so if you edit that file.. it will be empty. | 12:31 |
| grunk | sorry =) | 12:31 |

| singularity | i am looking for a macro recoder for ubuntu | 12:31 |
| sipior | iiname: a subtle point, but "gksudo" is preferred when invoking X11 apps. i believe gedit is smart enough to do the right thing, but it's a good habit to get into. | 12:31 |

| Dr_Willis | djvillegas70_: ffmpeg, mencoder, or front ends to those 2 like winff, or perhaps handbrake (not in the repos) | 12:40 |

| Irok | Hi! Evolution takes for ever to search. Is there some plugin or similar that indexes my e-mail? | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: i notice just now.. theres a update to empathy that popped up. :) I never use the app. | 12:44 |
| Fck_ | Can some1 tell me if it's possible to install Ubuntu (And ony Ubuntu..) on a MacBook Pro (intel)? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Fck_: Yes its possible. | 12:45 |
| rick_2047 | Dr_Willis: so? the update broke it? | 12:45 |
| Fck_ | (Will Airport work?) | 12:45 |
| DjAngo23 | Hey everyone, Is there a way to prioritize my internet connection for specific programs. For example Chrome over Transmission or Or radio over chrome ? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: I just saw there was a update.. no idea if its broke or working.. I dont use empathy | 12:45 |
| Fck_ | DJAngo23: You can do that with Qos | 12:46 |
| rick_2047 | Dr_Willis: any other better software for gtalk? | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: i just go to the gmail site and use their web based thing. | 12:46 |
| rick_2047 | o | 12:46 |
| Fck_ | @DJAngo23 prolly you also can set that up in your router | 12:46 |
| rick_2047 | thats kinda anticlimatic | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: my phone handles google talk for me most of the time. | 12:47 |
| rick_2047 | Dr_Willis: o | 12:47 |
| DjAngo23 | Fck_, Thanks, i will take a look at Qos | 12:48 |
| rick_2047 | anyone else having problems | 12:48 |
| rick_2047 | ? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: if you check the forums there may be mention of others with issues.. ive not seen it mentioned in this chatroom recently. | 12:49 |

| ech0 | hi, i was wondering is there a way to share my internet connection with my ubuntu desktop from my ubuntu netbook via usb? | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: with that old a relase.. it very could be a version issue then. | 12:53 |
| DjAngo23 | Fck_, You told me Qos right? Do you aslo have a tutorial for it, because it's scripting right ? | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: many of the IM companies like o change things and 'break' the older linux clients. | 12:54 |
| almoxarife | ech0: eth not an option? | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | rick_2047: that would be odd for google however. | 12:54 |
| almoxarife | ech0: wifi? | 12:54 |
| ech0 | or would it be possible to turn the ethernet port on my netbook? | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ech0: not with a normal usb cable. | 12:54 |
| ech0 | use netbook as wired router perhaps? | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ech0: if you have a spare network cable and a hub/router/ or GB networking ports.. you could just plug the 2 together. | 12:54 |
| almoxarife | ech0: that would be the simple way | 12:55 |
| rick_2047 | Dr_Willis: I have this 10.10 cd with me, but my computer is really old. Its a p4 (3.2 GHz) and 256+512 ram. do you think it will work? | 12:55 |
| Fck_ | DJAngo23: QoS means Quality Of Service ;), You can find a lot of it on google. | 12:55 |
| almoxarife | DjAngo23: you behind a router? | 12:56 |
| ech0 | well i have a bunch of routers but i use an open connection that my desktop can't reach and i have a cat5 cable bout 50 feet long that would be perfect | 12:56 |
| DjAngo23 | almoxarife, Yes, but at work ;) | 12:57 |
| ech0 | thanks for the insight guys i'll search the forums for ways to use my netbook as a wired router | 12:57 |
| ech0 | would it be possible to actually set up one of these routers to my netbook to repeat the signal? | 12:58 |
| Fck_ | DjAngo23, there is also something as DSCP I think, it's a setting in the IP header.. It will provide some sort of quality of service.. But I don't know how that works.. Let me google it for a minute. | 12:59 |

| rick_2047 | Dr_Willis: lubuntu? | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: check dmesg command a few moments after pluygging it in. Or check 'sudo fdisk -l' | 13:01 |

| bazhang | hdeshev, use something else | 13:01 |
| hdeshev | care to say which ones of those players try to be the next iTunes, so that I avoid them? | 13:02 |
| rick_2047 | hdeshev: I personally use exaile or vlc | 13:02 |
| bazhang | hdeshev, audacious for very light, there are mpd frontends you might consider as well | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | hdeshev: no idea. try them and see... | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont know of any that try to sell you muzack,. other then the Ubuntu one Musiz Store. | 13:03 |

| DawnLight | hello. gdm is stuck and i need to get to my running session. is there a way to activate the remote desktop service via the virtual console? | 13:05 |
| nubuntu | is anyone able to install "funguloids" on ubuntu? can anyone try it please? | 13:05 |
| maco | hdeshev: oh, or xmms. that & beep, if i remember right, are similar to WinAmp | 13:05 |
| rick_2047 | Dr_Willis: hey, is lubuntu any good? | 13:05 |
| sipior | nubuntu: easier if you just state the problem you're having with it. | 13:05 |
| bazhang | maco, xmms is no longer being developed | 13:05 |
| nubuntu | sure, this is what I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 13:06 |
| nubuntu | funguloids: Depends: ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager but it is not installable | 13:06 |
| maco | bazhang: why is it in the list? beep is its successor though, right? | 13:06 |
| bazhang | maco, /msg ubottu xmms for more | 13:06 |
| sipior | nubuntu: have you done an "sudo apt-get update" recently? | 13:06 |
| KSHawkEye | How come the "sudo apt-get update" command opens the "update manager" but doesn't actually update any programs? Or it will just go down a long list of sources but not update anything, and I need to go to the update manger to actually update. Is there any way to update via the command prompt? | 13:06 |
| nubuntu | of course I did, it doesn't work on my laptop either, sipior | 13:07 |
| schnuffle | KSHawkEye: use upgrade command to upgrade the packages | 13:07 |
| ech0 | meh guess i'd have to use a crossover cable.. i don't have one.. i have a bunch of routers though i don't want to spend money if i don't have to. guess i'll grab one and just start testing connection settings | 13:07 |
| sipior | nubuntu: and what happens if you try installing the ogre package manually? | 13:07 |
| KSHawkEye | schnuffle: what does the update command even do then? Does the "update manager" update or upgrade? | 13:08 |
| schnuffle | KSHawkEye: update only updates the repository list | 13:08 |
| maco | ech0: a lot of modern hardware will "know" to swap things around to use a normal cat5 as crossover | 13:08 |
| nubuntu | sipior: I tried compiling but it didn't work... guess I did something wrong, however, I can't install the ogre package trough aptitude neither | 13:08 |
| sipior | nubuntu: and the error message is... | 13:09 |
| schnuffle | KSHawkEye: so you do an update to get the new list and upgrade to install the upgrades if any available | 13:09 |
| KSHawkEye | schnuffle: does the update manager upgrade the packages then? | 13:09 |
| nubuntu | sipior: E: Package ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager has no installation candidate | 13:09 |
| sipior | nubuntu: and which ubuntu version are you running? | 13:09 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: Thank you for your help. | 13:09 |
| nubuntu | sipior: 10.04.1 | 13:10 |
| KSHawkEye | schnuffle: along with runs a update of the repository list? | 13:10 |
| schnuffle | KSHawkEye: to get all the upgrades just do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:11 |
| KSHawkEye | schnuffle: thank you very much | 13:11 |
| sipior | nubuntu: hmm. doesn't appear to be in the package repository. i'd say file a bug report against the funguloids package. | 13:11 |
| BajK_ | lol "this is a check to ensure you are human and not a machine: type the word Gnome (ubuntus unter interface)" hmm "KDE!", "Unity!" and it left me in :D | 13:12 |
| nubuntu | sipior: ok then, thanks for info | 13:12 |
| Stavros | i have some python libraries in /usr/local/lib, are they from the system python? if not, how can i uninstall them? | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 13:14 |
| nubuntu | what is an .mpk extension and what it does? | 13:14 |
| sipior | Stavros: the system python checks that directory, but anything installed there should have been outside the aegis of the packaging system. | 13:15 |
| Stavros | sipior: hmm, odd... aptitude is failing and i think that dir has something to do with it | 13:15 |
| sipior | Stavros: you can simply remove the files if you don't want them, as long as you're sure nothing else expects them to be there. | 13:15 |
| sipior | Stavros: you get an error of some sort, i presume? | 13:16 |
| Stavros | well, i install python libs with pip, which might be placing them there. i'm not sure if there's another python that aptitude is using, though | 13:16 |
| sipior | Stavros: that is exactly where pip would place them, yes. | 13:17 |
| Stavros | hmm, then that's not the problem... | 13:17 |
| nubuntu | is anyone willing to join the ubuntu classroom on 29 jan? | 13:17 |
| sipior | Stavros: might be a collision between a library you have installed and a system version. verify that /usr/local/lib follows /usr/lib in your sys.path. | 13:18 |
| sipior | Stavros: easier to tell if you paste(bin) the error that you receive. | 13:18 |

| sipior | Stavros: that's the result of running just "aptitude"? | 13:21 |

| nubuntu | does anyone has an idea where I can find that OGRE package? | 13:23 |
| krger | Or even head or tail it! | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | nubuntu: apt-cache search ogre for starters. | 13:23 |
| jrib | velory: not really, unless you know you can. Dependencies are there because a package needs another package to work right. Use the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~panda3d/+archive/ppa | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | nubuntu: if its ot in the repos. You may need to compile it first | 13:23 |
| Stavros | sipior: http://dpaste.com/355592/ | 13:23 |
| sipior | Stavros: you notice how it's pulling in runpy from /usr/local? | 13:23 |
| velory | jrib: I know I should ignore those dependencies | 13:23 |
| Stavros | sipior: yeah, and /usr/local/lib/site-packages is higher | 13:24 |
| jrib | velory: use the ppa | 13:24 |
| Stavros | sipior: that would be why | 13:24 |
| sipior | Stavros: yep, you've got it. | 13:24 |
| Stavros | sipior: where's the PYTHONPATH stored? | 13:24 |
| Stavros | actually, just PATH | 13:24 |
| Stavros | i wonder if sys.path concatenates both | 13:24 |
| Stavros | sipior: yeah, sys.path is pythonpath | 13:25 |
| sipior | Stavros: right, and it is set at every interpreter initialisation. have you specified a startup file for your interpreter? | 13:25 |
| zhanghongyu | hello | 13:25 |
| Stavros | sipior: i use fish, i have a custom fishrc but i didn't set the pythonpath, so it has to be somewhere else | 13:26 |
| schnuffle | marcus___: mysql-server-5.1, you can find it with apt-file | 13:27 |
| sipior | Stavros: do you have an PYTHONPATH environmental variable set? | 13:27 |
| sipior | Stavros: possibly in .login or .bashrc? | 13:27 |
| jrib | velory: did that work? | 13:28 |
| Taos | im trying to edit my .bashrc to run a pyw when I login, it is currently running it in the terminal, i just want it to run silently without a terminal existance how can I do that | 13:28 |
| velory | jrib: I'm already talking with that rdb guy, to make that build work so I have to build with ignoring those dependencies to not use those libraries | 13:28 |
| mh22mk_ | Hi! im trying to run this comman but it aint working, sudo updatedb -o etcindex /etc. Why is that? | 13:28 |
| Stavros | sipior: i grepped my entire home directory, nothing's set | 13:28 |
| Stavros | sipior: i'm searching the forums to find where it's set | 13:28 |
| jrib | velory: then download the source package, remove the dependency, rebuild the package, and file a bug somewhere | 13:29 |
| velory | jrib: can't you just tell how to ignore packages ? | 13:29 |
| schnuffle | Taos: redirect stdout and stderr with 2>&1 1 > /dev/null | 13:29 |
| eXpLoD | can anybody tell me where can i find a free vpn working on ubuntu | 13:29 |
| jrib | velory: no, this is the proper way. You can force dpkg to install without the dep but then you'll always get complaints about it. So rebuilding as I described is the optimal way to fix your issue. | 13:30 |
| schnuffle | eXpLoD: openvpn or ipsec. the first i much easier to setup, and there tools like wippien | 13:30 |
| Taos | schnuffle: thats not exactly the proble, | 13:30 |
| schnuffle | Taos: so elaborate on your prob | 13:30 |
| jrib | velory: if you really want to ignore my advice, you can just take two minutes in the dpkg man page and search for "ignore-dep" I suppose... | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | eXpLoD: i recall googling one day and finding 2 free vpn services that worked with ubuntu.. i think i only had one working.. (just to play with) but ive not toyed with them in perhaps 7+ mo. | 13:31 |
| Taos | schnuffle: one minute | 13:31 |
| eXpLoD | is there any c programming room on this server? | 13:32 |
| jrib | eXpLoD: ##c | 13:32 |

| eXpLoD | jrib: it gives me this "Cannot join ##c: Registration is required. | 13:33 |

| Stavros | windyone: drupal? | 13:34 |
| schnuffle | windyone: use a framework like joomla, contao or drupal | 13:34 |

| windyone | something to promote a product??\ | 13:35 |
| windyone | I need to make a busness website but don't know anything about programing | 13:35 |
| Stavros | windyone: use drupal | 13:35 |
| schnuffle | windyone: have you seen the answers? | 13:35 |
| windyone | Thanks | 13:36 |
| Stavros | windyone: or do it properly and pay someone to make you a website :p | 13:36 |

| eXpLoD | I am currently dual booting ubuntu with windows and i wish to make my ubuntu partition bigger.I have tried doing that by resizing one partition from windows and then resize the ubuntu partition.But then a a message box popped out and told me that I'm trying to move a partition from /boot to /dev/sda and it will most likely cause boot failure.What should I do,is there any solution to this,I dont wanna lose my data! | 13:42 |
| canthus13 | Dr_Willis: Perfect. :) | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | eXpLoD: you could shrink windows, then make a new partition in the newly freed space. and move /home/ or whatever you want to that. It all depends on your exact setup. | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | eXpLoD: Youy may want to pastebin the sudo fdisk -l, output and your current fstab file. For teh channel to see. | 13:43 |

| Dr_Willis | nmvictor: i dont think so. I think it can if you set it up that way. | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: what is your .dmrc trying to load? | 13:45 |
| Cyberfusion | sipior: yeah i know that much i'm just a bit lost on how to go about it safely | 13:45 |
| nmvictor | Dr_Willis, what then does it use, or is its download manager inbuilt? | 13:45 |
| === johnlocke is now known as axsel | ||

| jocrawfo | is there a way to manually mount this so that i can get all my data? | 13:47 |
| sipior | Cyberfusion: boot from an ubuntu live cd or the like, and use gparted to resize your partitions. another possibility, if you've got a lot of space on another partition, is just to move choice directories onto a roomier partition, and use symbolic links to point to them. | 13:47 |
| gsnedders | Hey, Ubuntu isn't picking up my Android phone being plugged in. dmesg doesn't even show it noticing any USB device being plugged in. | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jocrawfo: if you cant tell the phone to behave as a usb device.. i dont think so. | 13:48 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: session=gnome | 13:48 |
| jocrawfo | Dr_Willis, I see it in dmesg and lsusb | 13:48 |
| jocrawfo | so no possible way? | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | gsnedders: you did tell the android phone to use the usb plug as a 'usb storage' thing, then used the settings to actually mount the sd? | 13:48 |
| Cyberfusion | the thing is I have too much room on root, I want to move it to /home however i tried using gparted and it threw out errors (not fatal im still here) | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnea: so try stoppong gdm, and doing a 'startx' and see what loads up? | 13:48 |
| Cyberfusion | using gpartedlive | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jocrawfo: if the phone is in 'modem mode' i doubt it. | 13:49 |
| Gnea | Dr_Willis: well, it seems to be loading up now (I'm not in front of the computer, it's a remote system I'm helping someone with) | 13:49 |

| WebDawg | soundmett what window manager and such did you choose? | 14:21 |
| SethX | i've been trying all day and i can't get the hang of it. | 14:21 |
| WebDawg | Did you install gnome or kde or whatever? | 14:21 |
| iiname | hello I have a problem while installing evtouch | 14:21 |
| soundmett | window manager? like kde or gnome?! | 14:21 |
| bazhang | mark-kraevskijj, not sure about the dvd but unetbootin works great for that with the cd | 14:21 |
| WebDawg | xfce? | 14:21 |
| schnuffle | SethX: paste your ldif | 14:22 |
| soundmett | gnome | 14:22 |
| Roasted | How do you get into MySQL Admin on Ubuntu? | 14:22 |
| madprof | I had same problem with my acer, I re-installed using text only and it works perfectly now. | 14:22 |
| mark-kraevskijj | i know what there is packet, which can delete some packs... but i forgot how it write | 14:22 |
| schnuffle | Roasted: install phpmyadmin maybe or do you means the mysqladmin binary? | 14:22 |
| YammYgirlcoding | guys. I have a remote server running ubuntu, with the x11vnc service started. but when i try to connect, it drops the service down instantly. I guess the X is not started. I removed the display cable when i have been there. Does it have something to do with the X refusing to work? | 14:23 |
| Roasted | ah, phpmyadmin rings a bell | 14:23 |
| Roasted | thanks schnuffle | 14:23 |
| schnuffle | mark-kraevskijj: sudo apt-get remove <package> | 14:23 |
| Cyberfusion | well im going to cross my fingers hopefully i dont have another 3 hour install infront of me | 14:23 |
| iiname | hello i need some help | 14:23 |
| tiiim | Sound: exactly | 14:23 |
| mark-kraevskijj | schnuffle, i need to remove from sqfs | 14:23 |
| SethX | schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/mS8vq9M5 | 14:23 |
| mark-kraevskijj | cause i haven't ubuntu on PC (this pc) | 14:24 |
| edwardteach | iiname, !ask | 14:24 |
| soundmett | and now? | 14:24 |
| iiname | I went through the instructions at page http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html and ended up corrupting my xorg.conf file, ubuntu now runs in low graphics mode, with errors such as "problem parsing the config file, error parsing the config file | 14:24 |
| iiname | what should i do edward | 14:25 |
| soundmett | i even already tried this http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399733/ | 14:25 |
| soundmett | but it didn't help | 14:25 |
| mark-kraevskijj | i know what there is packet, which can delete some packs... but i forgot how it write | 14:25 |
| iiname | the instructions at this page are inadequate | 14:25 |
| iiname | one of the steps is to edit the xorg.conf file | 14:25 |
| daylight | guys | 14:25 |
| mark-kraevskijj | wa? | 14:26 |
| daylight | what are mail protocols? | 14:26 |
| SethX | schnuffle: do you see anything suspicious? | 14:26 |
| Roasted | how do I create a user for phpmyadmin? | 14:26 |
| SethX | did i screw up the dc's ? | 14:26 |
| iiname | I was told that by default it is not there, I created one, and included the code as given in that page, but the code appears incomplete | 14:26 |
| mark-kraevskijj | daylight, lol | 14:26 |
| madprof | mine sat at the log in screen with a pointer but nothing would work, I re-installed, mine is the 8920g | 14:26 |
| achilleas | Hello. I have a problem with empathy. It gives me network error on both MSN and Google chat. Anyone know anything about this? | 14:27 |
| daylight | mark-kraevskijj: lol? | 14:27 |
| schnuffle | SethX: still looking at | 14:27 |
| soundmett | madprof; does it work for you now | 14:27 |
| SethX | schnuffle: let me know if you need any other info | 14:27 |
| mark-kraevskijj | daylight, do you know what there are some mail clients? they use protocols | 14:27 |
| mutu | alguien habla español? | 14:27 |
| wim- | daylight: imap, pop3 ... | 14:27 |
| Pici | Roasted: I think you need to login using your mysql root user first. | 14:27 |
| Pici | !es | mutu | 14:27 |
| ubottu | mutu: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 14:27 |
| madprof | yup | 14:27 |
| madprof | perfect | 14:27 |
| madprof | ;) | 14:27 |
| schnuffle | Roasted: use the root to login, set a mysql root passw rod with mysqladmin -p | 14:27 |
| mutu | gracias | 14:27 |
| soundmett | how? | 14:27 |
| Roasted | Pici, is that just admin or administrator? | 14:27 |
| madprof | using the 'text onlubuntuusers install' | 14:28 |
| Roasted | schnuffle what's the default root login? I'm drawing a total blank from when I previously used phpmyadmin | 14:28 |
| SethX | schnuffle: btw, using slapd 2.4.23 | 14:28 |
| madprof | text install | 14:28 |
| SethX | Roasted: blank password | 14:28 |
| Pici | Roasted: Its the same mysql root user that you used when you setup mysql. | 14:28 |
| Roasted | SethX, haha, or not. its root + root pw. | 14:28 |
| madprof | instead of gui | 14:28 |
| mutu | puedes acercarme a una lista de comandos irc??? | 14:28 |
| Roasted | just got in | 14:28 |
| daylight | im researching about mail protocols | 14:28 |
| Roasted | thanks | 14:28 |
| SethX | mutu: english | 14:28 |
| SethX | mutu: try #ubuntu.es | 14:28 |
| mutu | sorry | 14:28 |
| soundmett | madprof: any tut | 14:28 |
| madprof | u installing from dvd? | 14:28 |
| soundmett | ? | 14:29 |
| YammYgirlcoding | guys. If the display is not with the video cable connected, the X stops working ? | 14:29 |
| soundmett | from cd | 14:29 |
| mutu | no hablo ingles | 14:29 |
| Pici | mutu: Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 14:29 |
| madprof | in the install screen choose 'text only install' | 14:29 |
| mutu | ok | 14:29 |
| daylight | wim-: tnx | 14:29 |
| soundmett | ah ok, will try now. brb | 14:30 |
| madprof | ok | 14:30 |
| eXpLoD | if ubuntu is open source,where is it's source? | 14:30 |
| jocrawfo | dwarder, ? did you need me? | 14:30 |
| Pici | eXpLoD: apt-get source packagename | 14:30 |
| SethX | eXpLoD: ubuntu distributes opensource software packages | 14:30 |
| SethX | the source lies at the individual packages | 14:30 |
| SethX | hence the name "distribution" | 14:31 |
| eXpLoD | where is the source saved when apt-get source? | 14:31 |
| Pici | eXpLoD: Current directory. | 14:31 |
| erUSUL | eXpLoD: /usr/src/ ? | 14:31 |
| schnuffle | SethX: what was te output of ldapadd db.ldif? | 14:31 |
| SethX | schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/We9mJ17z | 14:32 |
| eXpLoD | lol,the source needs root priviliges | 14:33 |
| soundmett | madprof: is textinstall on the normal cd? | 14:33 |
| madprof | yes | 14:33 |
| soundmett | hmm, cd directly boots into GUi installation | 14:34 |
| daylight | wim-: what are the differences of email protocols and mail protocols? | 14:34 |
| daylight | wim-: are they same? | 14:34 |
| wim- | daylight: it's the same thing email or mail | 14:34 |
| daylight | wim-: ahhhh i see.. | 14:34 |
| eXpLoD | is it true: ubuntu spoon feeds you? | 14:34 |
| madprof | you should have a choice; try or install | 14:35 |
| AbhiJit | eXpLoD, /part | 14:35 |
| wim- | daylight: http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/protocol.html | 14:35 |
| soundmett | oh, i need an alternate-installer version.... | 14:35 |
| sipior | AbhiJit: i wasn't expecting your stratagem to work. | 14:35 |
| schnuffle | SethX: I find your tutorial a bit strange, I wouldn't add the schemas to the config branch, I would add them to the config file and then create the entrie | 14:35 |
| madprof | I have the 10.10 cd and dvd | 14:35 |
| zaxonspox | hello, who know C++ to help me understand problematic line of code? | 14:35 |
| AbhiJit | sipior, :D | 14:36 |
| madprof | text install works spot on | 14:36 |
| SethX | schnuffle: if you have a better tutorial to suggest, i'm open to anything which *works* | 14:36 |
| AbhiJit | :o | 14:36 |
| schnuffle | SethX: you want to use phamm I guess? | 14:36 |
| michel | cozmmit ok!!! | 14:36 |
| SethX | schnuffle: i couldnt care less tbh | 14:36 |
| JackyAlcine | zaxonspox: Come to #ubuntu-app-devel | 14:36 |
| sipior | zaxonspox: there's a #C++ you can try. | 14:36 |
| SethX | i just want to centralize auth between email, apache, tikiwiki and trac | 14:36 |
| sipior | zaxonspox: or ##C++, rather. | 14:37 |
| Cyberfusion | thank god, gparted worked! | 14:37 |
| mark-kraevskijj | hey, hey, hey!!!!!!!! i need to delete ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso some packs. how can i do?! | 14:37 |
| jgblanco | hi | 14:37 |
| schnuffle | SethX: so you don't need all those extra schemas | 14:37 |
| soundmett | my cd boots directly to choosing language in GUI mode... doesn't matter already burning the alternate version =) | 14:37 |
| madprof | good ;) | 14:37 |
| zaxonspox | JackyAlcine, sipior tnx, i will try, if no luck, i will be back with question | 14:37 |
| Cyberfusion | i was expecting it to take like 2 hours to resize the whole root but it took 2 minutes | 14:37 |
| YammYgirlcoding | guys. I'm trying to start X on a remote server that doesn't have the video cable connected to the display. The missing cable have something to do with the X stuck? | 14:38 |
| Roasted | Has anybody set up FreeRadius on Ubuntu? | 14:38 |
| SethX | no? :) so how do i proceed? | 14:38 |
| SethX | i've been reading docs all morning and this is the best [or most up to date] one i found | 14:38 |
| SethX | all the rest is dated 2006 or so | 14:38 |
| wn1zid | probably yamm | 14:38 |
| YammYgirlcoding | does anyone knows this issue? does the X needs the video cable connected in order to work ? | 14:39 |
| SethX | schnuffle: still, i'd enjoy finding out WHAT that naming violation is exactly | 14:39 |
| Cyberfusion | Im not sure yamm but i would suspect that it does not need a physical cable | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: why not just use 'vncserver' theres no need to start GDM, or X locally if theres no actual display | 14:39 |
| schnuffle | SethX: I'm just searching for a good introduction, the age doesn't matter, no big changes | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: disable gdm, start vncserver from rc.local or some other way. | 14:40 |
| SethX | some forums attribute this error to misconfigured dc's , but dunno, i think i got those right.. | 14:40 |
| YammYgirlcoding | i have no access to the remote server. | 14:40 |
| madprof | afk | 14:40 |
| Cyberfusion | ssh? nothing? | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: then how are you connecting to the remote box ? | 14:40 |
| YammYgirlcoding | it should be asolution where i dont need to go there physically | 14:40 |
| YammYgirlcoding | i have ip | 14:40 |
| wim- | YammYgirlcoding: no cable needed you can even conect tot the box with vnc en get full grapichs | 14:40 |
| compdoc | YammYgirlcoding, I have boxes running without a monitor or keyboard/mouse. I use VNC to access. they boot fine | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: explain what you are tryign to do exactly. | 14:40 |
| YammYgirlcoding | I'm trying to use x11vnc | 14:41 |
| arunce | YammYgirlcoding: you may want to try "ssh -X hostname" | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: dont use x11vnc use a stand alone vncserver | 14:41 |
| Cyberfusion | if you cannot get visual access why not just ssh into the terminal | 14:41 |
| YammYgirlcoding | to connect to the machine. it works from another place, but from my new ubuntu 10.4 doesnt work | 14:41 |
| compdoc | I use vnc4server | 14:41 |
| jryda_ | having problems installing trac :( | 14:41 |
| YammYgirlcoding | that doesnt need an X ? | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | x11vncserver needs a X server going.. and if theres no one there locally (or no monitor) its wasteing resoruces. | 14:41 |
| jryda_ | Internal Server Error | 14:42 |
| jryda_ | TracError: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied | 14:42 |
| wim- | YammYgirlcoding: vnc is integrated in ubuntu only set password | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | a stand alone vncserver can run by itself. (it can run a dozsen instances if you want) | 14:42 |
| eXpLoD | what are *.o files? | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome has its own built in vncserver feature - but with no local display. thats a bit pointless also. | 14:42 |
| YammYgirlcoding | i tryed to start the X. it start.s but when my vnc client tries to connect, it shuts down the vnc service with some odd error | 14:42 |
| SethX | eXpLoD: object files | 14:42 |
| Cyberfusion | . files are hidden | 14:42 |
| SethX | compiled .c files | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: and how are you trying to start X ? | 14:42 |
| compdoc | but when you run vncserver, make sure you use port 5901, 5902, etc | 14:42 |
| Cyberfusion | sorry i thought you said where not what | 14:43 |
| YammYgirlcoding | it says 25/01/2011 21:06:14 wait_for_client: find display cmd failed. | 14:43 |
| Jeanne-Kamikaze | is the 32bit image targeting i386 or i686 ? | 14:43 |
| YammYgirlcoding | hmm i cant change the port, because i dont have access to the router from here | 14:43 |
| maco | kami686 | 14:43 |
| YammYgirlcoding | gotta use 5900 port | 14:43 |
| maco | Jeanne-Kamikaze: i686 | 14:43 |
| Jeanne-Kamikaze | kthx | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: if you can ssh in, you can just run a app 'remotely' and have it appear locally. no need for a X server, or vnc on the remote box. | 14:44 |
| Cyberfusion | yammy are you using a hosting service? | 14:44 |
| jonny | hello, can someone help me please, i am trying to uninstall ubuntu, but i cannot seem to format my drive, its driving me crazy! | 14:44 |
| Roasted | Has anybody set up FreeRadius on Ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| jryda_ | <jryda_> hi all - would love some help getting trac to work | 14:44 |
| jryda_ | <jryda_> followd this guide: http://blog.firelabi.com/2010/12/ubuntu-1010-how-to-setup-trac.html | 14:44 |
| jryda_ | <jryda_> I get Internal Server Error | 14:44 |
| jryda_ | <jryda_> TracError: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/jryda/project/trac/VERSION' | 14:44 |
| jryda_ | <jryda_> when viewing at localhost:8000/trac | 14:44 |
| FloodBot3 | jryda_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:44 |
| compdoc | jonny, download gparted and boot from the cd | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: delete the partitions using a gparted live cd, then use whatver os you want to repartition/reformat as needed. | 14:45 |
| jonny | i am useing a netbook | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | windows should be able to delete the partitons also. | 14:45 |
| Cyberfusion | set the partition label to msdos | 14:45 |
| sipior | Roasted: it might be better to ask the channel a specific question about what you are doing. | 14:45 |
| Cyberfusion | then build the table | 14:45 |
| jonny | so i have to do it all with a USB | 14:45 |
| Pici | !who | 14:45 |
| ubottu | 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 :) | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: you may want to be sure you got windows bootloader reinstalled first. | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: most every iso/live cd out - can be put on a pendrive. | 14:45 |
| Roasted | sipior, well, I installed freeradius, and I have no idea where to go from here. I was hoping somebody may have already set it up so I could ask several questions about it - not just one. | 14:45 |
| jonny | i normaly install xp from the USB but i have to change to C: in dos but C: is not there | 14:46 |
| Wezyr | Pici bruder hozsanna to you:) | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: repartition the hd, then reformat it. | 14:46 |
| === veki is now known as Da|Mummy | ||
| sipior | Roasted: how about picking one question, seeing if anyone can help, and then asking them the other ones later on :-) | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: if theres no windows partitions. then theres no c: or other letters. | 14:46 |
| YammYgirlcoding | Cyberfusion its not a hosting, it's my boyfriend house. | 14:46 |
| jonny | i am trying to do that, but i dont know how | 14:46 |
| YammYgirlcoding | Cyberfusion and we are here trying to vnc there | 14:46 |
| Roasted | sipior, well, my first question is - has anybody set up freeradius. ;) | 14:46 |
| Roasted | sipior, the following questions follow the initial one above. | 14:47 |
| jonny | i have tried to delete the whole partition, but ubuntu wont let me | 14:47 |
| sipior | Roasted: and that hasn't gotten you very far. | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: #windows channel perhaps can help. I dont use XP any more. | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: you can delete the partions from a XP/windows cd/install also.. | 14:47 |
| YammYgirlcoding | Cyberfusion but the display is without the video cable connected, i wondered if this makes the X unable to start.. | 14:47 |
| Cyberfusion | if you cannot use a cd-rom then use unetbootin | 14:47 |
| Roasted | sipior, well freeradius in itself isnt the most popular thing among this channel. I've asked in sever channels, centos, fedora, debian, etc. I don't think network admins hang out in these channels much. | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: or use the fdisk command and the 'd' to delete.. to delete them all.. then 'w'rite changes to disk. | 14:47 |
| jonny | i cant run the xp installtion, that is the problem | 14:47 |
| sipior | Roasted: have you tried #ubuntu-server as well? | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: the xp installer may have some partioning tools. I dont use it. so you got options mentioned above to try. | 14:48 |
| Cyberfusion | yammy: i honestly dont think a cable has anything to do with it | 14:48 |
| jonny | i will try gparted on a usb | 14:48 |
| Cyberfusion | but it could be something weird idk | 14:48 |
| jonny | will that boot from dos ? | 14:48 |
| Roasted | sipior, not yet today, but I have. I'll try that now. | 14:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: gparted is a special linux disrto for 'partitoning' and workign with hard drives. | 14:49 |
| Cyberfusion | jonny: you set the usb to boot in the bios | 14:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jonny: you can use it to delete all partions if you want. and remake new ones how you like. | 14:49 |
| YammYgirlcoding | see the error stuff: http://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxm | 14:49 |
| Wezyr | wtf tuks the fat penguin? | 14:49 |
| compdoc | jonny, lots on google about gparted on usb | 14:49 |
| SethX | schnuffle: i'm gonna have lunch now, /query me if you find anything interesting. fyi i use postfix and dovecot | 14:49 |
| jonny | ok cool thanks for ur help guys, i have been pulling my hair out lol | 14:49 |
| Cyberfusion | I would setup an extended partition then create virtural partitions inside that for linux | 14:49 |
| Cyberfusion | but first install windows if you really want that | 14:50 |
| YammYgirlcoding | he said that sometimes he can't connect to vcn remotely from another pc at his house. but when he goes physically to the client machine, and type on the keyboard, the vcn works | 14:50 |
| YammYgirlcoding | we have no clue | 14:50 |
| Cyberfusion | wake on lan maybe | 14:50 |
| Cyberfusion | yammy: that sounds like the computer is going into sleep without user inputs | 14:51 |
| YammYgirlcoding | the client or the server ? | 14:51 |
| Cyberfusion | yammy im not really sure how your network is setup | 14:52 |
| YammYgirlcoding | Cyberfusion like. server is pc1. I go to pc2, ssh on pc3 and try to vcn to pc1. not work. I go to pc3 vnc to pc1 , it works | 14:52 |
| schnuffle2 | SethX: http://www.grennan.com/ldap-HOWTO.html | 14:52 |
| Cyberfusion | wow sorry yammy thats beyond me sorry | 14:53 |
| YammYgirlcoding | it looks like it want me to be physically there typing on the client, to accept the vnc connection on X | 14:53 |
| Roasted | Has anybody set up FreeRadius on Ubuntu? | 14:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !radius | 14:53 |
| Roasted | fail :P | 14:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Time to check the wiki page for you then :) i guess. | 14:54 |
| Roasted | been there. | 14:54 |
| YammYgirlcoding | maybe anyoned could tell me about what the X needs to work | 14:54 |
| schnuffle2 | Roasted: long time ago, http://wiki.freeradius.org/Basic_configuration_HOWTO | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought the PC was headless.. so it has a keyboard but no monitor YammYgirlcoding ? | 14:54 |
| YammYgirlcoding | i guess the X creates those 'desktops' which you can switch the numbers | 14:54 |
| YammYgirlcoding | Dr_Willis yes! | 14:55 |
| sipior | Roasted: let's just pretend that the answer to your question is "yes." can you now ask your real question? have we jumped through enough hoops? | 14:55 |
| === schnuffle2 is now known as schnuffle | ||
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: sounds like its going to sleep then.. and some how taking its time wakeing up | 14:55 |
| YammYgirlcoding | http://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxm see the erros thing, please. | 14:55 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: no need to run gdm, or a local X server on it.. ssh in, run vncserver, connect via a vnc client.. | 14:55 |
| Dr_Willis | YammYgirlcoding: or just ssh -X remotebox, and run whatever app you need and have it appear locally. | 14:55 |
| YammYgirlcoding | It starts the x11vnc service. but when i try to connect, it drops the service with some odd error | 14:55 |
| Roasted | sipior, surely. I installed it. Now what? | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I suggest using tightvnv or vnc4server, not x11vnc. | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | or just X forwarding | 14:56 |
| YammYgirlcoding | before i try another solution, i wanted to understand why it doesnt work | 14:56 |
| YammYgirlcoding | gotta be something wrong i'm doing | 14:56 |
| sipior | Roasted: you've got the service running, you've got it working with a local authentication database? | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | x11vnc is proberly confused because X is not running. | 14:56 |
| edgarallanpoe | how can i create a desktop icon that sources a shell script in a terminal and leaves the terminal window open in ubuntu | 14:57 |
| Dr_Willis | x11vnc is designed to share the current X desktop/session if i recall. | 14:57 |
| Cyberfusion | i have a wild guess that it could be the wol/magic packets | 14:57 |

| YammYgirlcoding | from the error link (http://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxmhttp://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxm) you could tell why it's not working ? | 14:57 |
| Roasted | sipior, that's the problem. of all of the guides I read, nothing goes into ANY sort of detail about configuration or taking it to the next step. I installed it, and the guide stops. I just have no idea what else to do. | 14:57 |
| Dr_Willis | edgarallanpoe: You want the script to exit to a bash shell? or just stay open? | 14:57 |

| numm | okay | 15:01 |
| Roasted | schnuffle, this may be a stupid question, but what do I test with? I don't want to take our main radius server offline. Can I configure a single access point to hit the radius server I'm setting up for testing purposes? | 15:01 |

| Xintruder | Hey guys | 15:06 |
| Xintruder | apt-get upgrade . is a ubuntu command right? | 15:06 |
| maco | Xintruder: yes. installs updates | 15:07 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: what do you want to do ? | 15:07 |
| gpc | Xintruder: correct, need to use it with sudo | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Xintruder: its an 'apt' command :) not ubuntu specific | 15:07 |
| Rockj | ecryptfs in ubuntu, and the passphrase to unlock the encrypted volume, is this the same as the login password or is it a special generated password that gets generated at first time? | 15:07 |
| Rockj | trying to recover my stuff... | 15:07 |
| Xintruder | I saw it in Backtrack :/ I remembered ubuntu :/ | 15:07 |
| Xintruder | is it the same? | 15:07 |
| maco | Rockj: its a generated password which is encrypted using your login password | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Backtrack is based on ubuntu, and uses the apt packageing system.. yes. | 15:07 |
| Rockj | maco: so not possible to regenerate when I only know my login password huh? :) | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | Xintruder | 15:08 |

| dneary_ | Or is there a special Natty channel? | 15:08 |
| ikonia | dneary_: #ubuntu+1 | 15:08 |
| maco | Rockj: well its not a full volume encryption...it's directory encryption. the key is stored on-disk, ecnrypted with your password, so you can just decrypt it | 15:08 |
| SethX | schnuffle: does this make sense to you? http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-dovecot-ldap-centos-5/ or better, do you consider it viable ? | 15:08 |

| sss | undecim, I installed using Wubi. Ican make a USB if necessary | 15:47 |
| undecim | sss: Yes, make a bootable USB if possible | 15:48 |
| undecim | sss: It makes recovery an order of a magnitude simpler | 15:48 |
| sss | undecim, bootable USB of Windows or Ubuntu? | 15:48 |

| schnuffle | khussein78: add a line PATH=$PATH:/bin before calling tat | 15:50 |
| undecim | sss: Ah, okay... this is a slightly different problem than I first suspected. The fix for it is quite simple | 15:50 |

| ale` | schnuffle: I can also use apt-get autoremove for that, but that's not the point :-) | 15:55 |
| sss | undecim, Ok, I'll try this (I first need to make a USB using WinToFlash cause my laptop doesn't have CD-ROM drive in it...). Thank you very much! | 15:55 |
| undecim | sss: Silly netbooks :P | 15:55 |
| undecim | sss: No worries, and I hope you have better luck with Wubi in the future | 15:56 |
| sss | undecim, I heard I should use CD or USB instead of Wubi | 15:56 |
| undecim | sss: If you can help it, avoid upgrading any "grub" packages | 15:56 |
| undecim | sss: Yeah... A proper install is not much more difficult than Wubi and is much more stable | 15:56 |
| mbnoimi | Is there any repository for skype-call-recorder? I need to record my calls in skype | 15:56 |
| sss | undecim, Do you know if this is a bug in grub or only wubi? | 15:57 |
| undecim | sss: Problem is Wubi is exactly like a real install, but with a different boot process and disk setup... | 15:57 |
| undecim | sss: Your wubi install upgraded and tried to act like a proper install... Unfortunately, it's a common issue with Wubi | 15:57 |
| sss | undecim, is this a bug in grub? | 15:57 |
| schnuffle | mbnoimi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeRecordingHowto | 15:57 |
| undecim | sss: No, it's Wubi | 15:57 |
| red2kic_ | sss: No. It's a Wubi. | 15:57 |
| sss | undecim, So with a proper install should I upgrade the grub when prompted in Ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| undecim | sss: It still boggles my mind that Canonical doesn't either fix it or stop offering Wubi so readily. | 15:58 |
| undecim | sss: Yes | 15:58 |
| undecim | sss: A proper install will handle Grub updates just fine | 15:58 |
| red2kic_ | sss: That happen when you're trying to put one OS inside another OS instead of dual-boot. | 15:58 |
| graphlite | via the command line how could i update only one program ? | 15:58 |
| mzuverink | what is the difference between Libre Office and Openoffice.org? | 15:58 |
| mbnoimi | schnuffle: thanks a lot | 15:59 |
| undecim | mzuverink: Very little, really | 15:59 |
| sss | undecim, So I will use windows recovery disk, uninstall wubi(!), install a proper linux using dual boot... | 15:59 |
| mzuverink | undecim, thank you! | 15:59 |
| undecim | mzuverink: LibreOffice is a branch of OpenOffice that the developers made when Oracle acquired Sun | 15:59 |
| schnuffle | mzuverink: up to now, some patches got introduced but onl small | 15:59 |
| undecim | sss: Sounds like a plan | 15:59 |
| sss | undecim, I hope a good plan.. | 15:59 |
| undecim | sss: Though it is recommended that if possible, you backup your important files | 15:59 |
| Kruptein | Hey I had to reinstall ubuntu, and now transmission get's no connection... before it went extremely fast | 16:00 |
| undecim | sss: The one big step a proper install does that Wubi doesn't is a repartitioning | 16:00 |
| ale` | schnuffle: debfoster does the trick tho, thanks a lot!! | 16:00 |
| Kruptein | do you need to modify something for transmission that I might have forgotten? | 16:00 |
| schnuffle | ale´: your welcome | 16:00 |
| undecim | sss: So if, e.g. your computer loses power while doing that step, your hard drive might be in trouble | 16:00 |
| sss | undecim, After I restore windows... but I have backuped some of files before installing Wubi | 16:00 |
| undecim | Kruptein: Are you downloading the same files that you were before? | 16:02 |
| Kruptein | undecim: no, but they have a lot of seeders and can't be ther reason... | 16:02 |
| Kruptein | it just won't start downloading | 16:02 |
| undecim | Kruptein: Is it unable to connect to the tracker or just peers? | 16:03 |

| hajmola | schnuffle, gchat? | 16:03 |
| hajmola | schnuffle, not sure if that's jabber | 16:04 |
| schnuffle | hajmola: that means the user hasn't authorized you yet | 16:04 |
| hajmola | schnuffle, that's really strange because I was chatting with this person last week | 16:04 |
| schnuffle | hajmola: or refuses to do so | 16:04 |
| undecim | Kruptein: Do you have incoming ports open? i.e. either have it forwarded on your router or have UPnP/NAT-PMP enabled? | 16:04 |
| arunce | who | 16:04 |
| hajmola | schnuffle, so you're saying this user is blocking me | 16:04 |
| schnuffle | hajmola: reask for auth because with reinstall you lost the auth | 16:04 |
| hajmola | schnuffle, thanks | 16:05 |
| schnuffle | hajmola: often people miss the auth panel and even aren't aware of it | 16:05 |
| undecim | Kruptein: You can check that with the "test port" button in the Network tab in the Transmission preferences. | 16:05 |
| Kruptein | undecim: well, first transmission was extremely slow, and was using UPnP... I disabled it and forwarded the necessary ports on my router, which did nothing, I removed the forward rule and re-enabled UPnp... but now it won't do anything | 16:05 |
| Kruptein | undecim: test port returns Open | 16:05 |

| Jeruvy | This morning I booted my 10.04 desktop which has 3 screens. I noticed the desktop was a bit slower starting, then when gnome panels appeared there were errors and one screen is missing the panel (does not respond to right mouse click either) ideas? | 16:35 |
| Kruptein | undecim: hm 400KiB but that's nice enough for the moment :p | 16:35 |
| Kruptein | thanks | 16:35 |
| windyone | undecim it appears as though there is a problem. Nothing is happening in th eterminal so I went to close it and it says there is still a process and willstop if I close | 16:36 |
| Tricks | undecim, any ideas on the output of fstab? | 16:36 |
| undecim | windyone: You have to type your password for the first of those two commands | 16:37 |
| undecim | Tricks: Nothing out of order there. At what point do you see the /tmp message? | 16:37 |
| Jeruvy | Ok, I booted session into 'failsafe gnome' and all panels appeared. How can I use this to fix my problem? | 16:38 |
| Tricks | undecim, when the ubuntu splash screen appears | 16:38 |
| Jeruvy | I've tried resetting the panels. | 16:38 |
| strigoi_66 | Hello, is anyone using an pre 2000 machine? I am using a Compaq presario5000 from like 98 and have a few issues with videocard drivers. I use an ATI Radeon 9250 pci card and cannot get proper drivers. Can anyone help me? | 16:38 |
| undecim | Tricks: It's in the purple screen? | 16:38 |
| undecim | Tricks: Does it stop the boot process or anything like that? | 16:39 |
| Tricks | undecim, nah before that when the ubuntu logo shows with the 4 or 5 dots | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | strigoi_66: i have pre 2000 systems. Your video chip is supported by the open driver | 16:39 |
| Tricks | undecim, yes i have to press I to ignore | 16:39 |
| undecim | Tricks: Yeah, that screen is usually purple, isn't it? | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | strigoi_66: the driver is part of a default install. | 16:39 |
| Tricks | undecim, ah mines black :P might be my eyes | 16:39 |
| strigoi_66 | Yes but does not install properly maybe due to old platform? | 16:39 |
| jbraddoc | Hello All. Question: LVM won't let me use the 4th partition on sda in 10.10, what gives? | 16:40 |
| strigoi_66 | I can only get a resolution of 800*600 | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | strigoi_66: if your monitor is old it may not repot EDID so you may need to form an xorg.conf file to tell the OS how to use the display hardware | 16:40 |
| undecim | Tricks: Okay, I'm just trying to determine where this problem is originating. I suppose it has to be something the initrd is doing, since you don't have a /tmp in your fstab | 16:40 |
| jayeola | does anyone know how to load the qualcomm driver? CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QUALCOMM=m . what is the module name? | 16:40 |
| undecim | Tricks: You say this happens after a power failure? | 16:41 |
| strigoi_66 | thank you for the information. | 16:41 |
| undecim | Tricks: And only after? | 16:41 |
| Tricks | undecim, yes that's correct PSU blew i dropped the HDD into an old machine then it started | 16:41 |
| strigoi_66 | I have tried the xorg.config file and still have come up short | 16:41 |

| ActionParsnip | strigoi_66: if you pastebin your attempt, I may be able to advise | 16:42 |
| Rypervenche | schnuffle: Ok, thank you. | 16:42 |
| Tricks | undecim, there was smoke coming out of the computer and everything lol | 16:42 |
| undecim | Tricks: Alright, just did a grep of the initrd scripts, and it looks like I was wrong about that... | 16:43 |
| strigoi_66 | ActionParsnip: I am new to linux, only been using it for 4months now and am not sure what you meant by "Pastebin" attemp? | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | strigoi_66: got to http://pastie.org and show the xorg.conf file you have | 16:44 |
| Tricks | undecim, well I'm not too bothered mate it's more the performance. It lags when i type etc and the older machine isn't that bad and should easily be able to handle what I'm doing | 16:45 |
| undecim | Tricks: Did you have a separate /tmp partition on the other computer that this HDD was used | 16:45 |
| undecim | Tricks: Have you tried an Ubuntu livecd and compared the performance to what you are dealing with now? | 16:45 |

| Tricks | undecim, yup command = backend | 16:50 |
| undecim | vikas_007sharma: Ah, the configuration file it's referring to is not the apache config | 16:50 |
| undecim | Tricks: I have no idea what backend does, lol. I don't have it on my system | 16:51 |
| vikas_007sharma | undecim: then? | 16:51 |
| undecim | vikas_007sharma: It's a file in the joomla directory | 16:51 |
| Tricks | undecim, right I'll kill it then but it's running under root | 16:51 |
| undecim | vikas_007sharma: one moment, please | 16:51 |
| undecim | What is the "backend" process? | 16:51 |

| ActionParsnip | vikas_007sharma: prefix the running of the editor with: gksudo | 16:53 |

| patrik | Hi I just got a new motherboard (ASUS P8H67-V) and I cannot find a driver for my NIC. It's an "Atheros Communications Device 1083" with PCI ID: 1969:1083. Does anyone know if there is a driver for it yet? | 16:58 |

| asdf39 | hi , my webcamera doesn't work on ubuntu, what i have to do? | 17:00 |
| undecim | patrik: Are you sure you need a driver to use it? I've never heard of an Atheros NIC not working out of the box with Ubuntu | 17:00 |

| metalfan__ | hi | 17:01 |
| asdf39 | ActionParsnip: let me check | 17:01 |
| patrik | undecim, No it's a normal NIC. But the mother board is spanking new. Sandy Bridge... | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Fishmeistercod: if you install the proper rar pacakges the default archive manager can handle them | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Fishmeistercod: install the unrar package perhaps. not 7zip | 17:01 |
| Fishmeistercod | Oh. Okay, lemme try that. :D | 17:01 |
| patrik | undecim, I was quite suprised myself when it didn't work | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishmeistercod: if you install p7zip-rar and p7zip full you can use fileroller like you do all the other compression formats you use | 17:01 |
| === mk is now known as Guest98848 | ||
| Dr_Willis_ | Fishmeistercod: or use unrar -e foo.rar | 17:01 |

| === RobBeane is now known as eXistZ | ||
| Dr_Willis_ | metalfan__: perhaps do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try again. | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishmeistercod: sorry p7zip-full | 17:02 |
| Kruptein | is it possible to change the id3tags for mp3 directly from nautilus? | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishmeistercod: if you install unp it will install pretty much any archive software you can need | 17:02 |
| Kruptein | I can do right click -> details but I can't modify the values | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Fishmeistercod: i think i should point out that 7zip on linux does NOT have a gui like windows does.. its a command line tool. | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: you may be able to get nautilus scripts and do it | 17:03 |
| metalfan__ | Dr_Willis_, why would that help? | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis_ | metalfan__: it has helped in the past.. so yes.. | 17:03 |
| Kruptein | ActionParsnip: you perhaps don't know any? :p | 17:03 |
| metalfan__ | Dr_Willis_, ok. thx | 17:03 |
| patrik | undecim, It's not related to Intel. What is needed is a driver that support my Atheros card. I'll check the kernel source. If I'm lucky, it's just a matter of adding the PCI ID to the LKM. | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: any what? | 17:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: if you can use direction given rather than asking for absolute links you'll learn more | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Quatroking: a full install to a flash drive is not a live cd.. the 2 differ. :) | 17:05 |
| Quatroking | what I'm looking for is complete install as if it were on my normal HDD | 17:05 |
| Kruptein | ActionParsnip: my "nautilus edit ID3tags" returned none usefull links :( | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: also, I have never used that so not sure what it does or how it does it | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Quatroking: thats doable.. | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Quatroking: watch out for special hardware drivers that can conflict on differnt machines | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Kruptein: I used: nautilus script change idv3 tag | 17:06 |
| asdf39 | how can i see the model of webcam that i have? | 17:06 |

| patrik | undecim, Can you see which module that you are using? atl1, atl2, atlx...? | 17:20 |
| undecim | patrik: There is no module... it's built into the kernel | 17:20 |
| undecim | patrik: Wait, nevermind | 17:20 |
| undecim | patrik: atl1c | 17:20 |
| undecim | patrik: Missed that one somehow :) | 17:20 |
| noonian | i would cancel it and try again first :P or try installing using apt. It shouldnt take 2 hours | 17:20 |

| patrik | undecim, ok, thanks. I'll check the source to see if it is included. But pci_ids.h doesn't mention my device id | 17:21 |

| patrik | undecim, Yes! It is listed. Perhaps I just need a newer kernel. | 17:22 |
| ActionParsnip | asdf39: should be ok, could try emesene | 17:22 |
| asdf39 | ActionParsnip: it doesn't work there too | 17:23 |

| asdf39 | ActionParsnip: what does this command that you send me? | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | asdf39: tried the command I gave? Is there a config in amsn/emesene to configure/define the webcam? | 17:24 |
| patrik | undecim, It's 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | asdf39: it loads a file before starting the app | 17:24 |

| RoDiMuS-X | how do I delete files from my ubuntu one account? | 17:26 |
| patrik | undecim, Yes, I checked the diff for when they added the support. It was on the 1st of June 2010. Strange that it doesn't say anything in dmesg about finding an interface. I attached a USB NIC which got eth0 and there is no eth1. | 17:26 |

| SirSpam | Is there any way to reduce the number of processes gnome uses? I'm using ubuntu over VNC and I really do not need most of these -panel, -monitor, -applet things running. Nor do I need any of the fancy graphics | 17:35 |
| cellardoor | Dangr_, that guide tells me to go for /etc/default/grub | 17:35 |
| Psycho_Mario | zaxonspox; no, one is 1024x786 and the other is 1440x900 (main) | 17:35 |

| karlo94 | anybody know some good way to recovery data from disc or flash drive? | 17:35 |
| Dangr_ | Hm | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | SirSpam: add -C option when you connect via ssh to enable compression | 17:35 |
| Dangr_ | I recall finding it, it is for 10.10 ?_? | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | karlo94: use backups | 17:36 |
| zaxonspox | Psycho_Mario, thats why, i have 15" @ 1024x768 and 17" @ 1280x1024 - the only way is to have the same monitors (resolution and size) | 17:36 |
| SirSpam | but that just enables compression, it doesn't prevent things from starting up does it? | 17:36 |
| Dangr_ | cellardoor: sorry I thought that was what I used. It regulates my towers fans. Don't have a laptop though so maybe its different. IDK | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | karlo94: foremost may be able to help if your backups are insufficient | 17:36 |
| Psycho_Mario | zaxonspox; is it spread over both monitors for you? | 17:36 |
| cellardoor | Dangr_, seems so.. although.. it looks like a bootline extension to me.. I could just shove it on the end of my kernel line and see if its of any use | 17:36 |
| staar2 | how to set the java from OpenJDK to Sun java ? | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | SirSpam: true, you could make a new user with a lot of the services disabled in the startup options | 17:37 |
| karlo94 | ActionParsnip, backups is program? :D | 17:37 |
| patrik | undecim, Perhaps I need better support for my chipset. Might be some bridge issue. I'll try a newer kernel. | 17:37 |
| Psycho_Mario | zaxonspox; ignore that, i didnt read properly | 17:37 |
| zaxonspox | Psycho_Mario, no, i have TwinView enabled - just like 2 seperate monitors | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | karlo94: yes, you can take a backup using partimage | 17:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | karlo94, check out photorec which is part of the testdisk package is good for file recovery/undelete (if you use have a supported filesystem) | 17:38 |
| Psycho_Mario | zaxonspox; its a bug from flash apparently, its been filed in the adobe bug system | 17:39 |
| karlo94 | I will look for this packages ..tnx | 17:39 |
| zaxonspox | Psycho_Mario, no wonder - Adobe didnt predict We would do configure our monitors like this | 17:39 |

I hook my laptop to my 50" tv as a monitor. here is the issue. when i boot into ubuntu and immediatelly close the lid "before it actually boots up" the picture on the tv is fine but the laptop screen won't go off. "the settings are set to blank screen when closed" but when i actually let it boot up then close the lid it actually blanks but the pictur | 18:12 |
| chaos2358 | e on my tv goes crazy flickering like its having a seizure and never clears up | 18:12 |
| peskito | yes my home is already on another partition, i don't see any /var in my fstab | 18:12 |
| pc600 | anyone know where the ati video config is in ubuntu? this sets it, but won't last a reboot. Must be set from CLI. aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2,sizeX:1920 # to set X resolution | 18:12 |
| mikedoty | (1) before vpn connect, (2) after vpn connect (no connection), (3) after one-time workaroundD (connecting back) | 18:12 |

| Bops | I wish to recover a file from an ext3 partition. I have no working OS on the computer. I am unable to make a USB LiveCD from another computer due to a problem with a USB key. It writes at like 50kb/s, Ubuntu is still stuck at 0% making the key (though I see the files being created). What boot tool can I use that is user-friendly AND small in size (so it doesn't take long to copy to the USB key) to mount the ext3 partition and recover this important file? | 18:14 |

| sebrock | ActionParsnip: is it not possibel to backport in anyway? | 18:14 |
| chaos2358 | Craig are you saying the screen on the tv is off centered so you dont see the bottom? | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sebrock: you can install it but it may have newer deps and then they mayneed newer deps and you'll have some weird frankenstien install | 18:14 |
| Craig` | chaos2358: i can see all the screen but the top/bottom arent on the screen | 18:15 |
| mikedoty | undecim: The first one is before connecting... second one is after connecting (lost connection wired) ... and the last one is while still on vpn, but if I uncheck "enable wireless" then the connection returns | 18:15 |

| Craig` | chaos2358: they are no black points to show that the screen is misalinged...like i say any res icant see the menu/application bar | 18:15 |
| sebrock | ActionParsnip: well, Lucid has version 2.6.23 and Maverick 2.6.26. I thought LTS meant they create automatic backports? | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Bops: puppylinux is small | 18:15 |
| chaos2358 | Craig that means the screen resolution is vertically stretched. | 18:15 |

| ActionParsnip | sebrock: no, LTS just means it's supported for longer on the official repos | 18:16 |
| Craig` | chaos2358: is that a problem/what can i do about it? | 18:16 |

| mikedoty | I could try. It's going to hose my network when I reconnect to my vpn, though. Based on the output I'm getting on those route/ifconfig calls, what could I do after I lose wired to get my wired connection back without hard booting? | 18:21 |

| Cpt_Zyph | bingu first is double check boot order and or how you can change / set order.. 2nd is make sure what ever distro cd yoru trying to boot from is compatable with teh CPU etc as that will effect hwo it boots | 18:30 |

| Cpt_Zyph | bingu humm.. well if its not booting to CD and the priority is set to CD and no others.. then only a few issues could be the problem.. disk is bad.. drive is bad.. or drive is not hooked up properly.. do you have a spare drive to test with and or acn you pull teh drive out and plug it into a ide > usb adapter and test it on a working computer? | 18:37 |

| bingu | cpt_zyph cd is fine, just checked on my m8s laptop. | 18:38 |
| maco | Stereocaulon: it was removed upstream for licensing reasons and replaced with ALSA. Additionally, Linus does not permit any floating point arithmetic in the kernel, which OSS does use, so it's unlikely it'll be reaccepted upstream any time soon | 18:38 |

| Craig` | Hey, ive now got dvi->hdmi for monitor instead of vga->vga - monitor is tv - ..however i can't see all the screen, i cant see some of the top/right/bottom/left of the screen - it is not black but it's as if the screen is just too big, ive changed my res and this happens for every res, chaos was saying it would be hardware rather than software...any ideas? | 18:42 |
| maco | Stereocaulon: im sure that's not true. OSS hasnt been in the kernel for a couple of years now, and i've used MythTV just fine | 18:42 |
| Rypervenche | genii-around: Oh, I had misread the -a explanation. Great. Thank you. | 18:42 |
| jjam | ActionParsnip: huh? | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Craig`: change refresh rate maybe.. | 18:42 |
| maco | (where by "a couple" i mean, "since before i started using linux in 2006") | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: or are you talking about someting else? | 18:42 |
| Stereocaulon | maco, I might just do that, talk to the Wine devs... | 18:42 |
| Taste | so.... last night i was prompted with an updat, so i updated, but after i updated, my sound no longer works.... anyone know whats with that? | 18:43 |
| jjam | no no ActionParsnip just talkin in general | 18:43 |
| jjam | ActionParsnip: linux | 18:43 |
| Craig` | ActionParsnip: just tried that, no effect | 18:43 |
| Stereocaulon | maco, I've been using Linux since 1997 | 18:43 |
| mikedoty | undecim: What should my resolv.conf look like? I've tried domain 127.0.0.1 / localhost (just guessing randomly), but they don't seem to take | 18:44 |
| maco | Stereocaulon: thats fine, but my point is that Myth has worked for me and OSS hasnt been around the whole time ive used linux, so therefore...myth works without oss | 18:44 |
| Craig` | ActionParsnip: also could you tell me why my audio isnt working? i have the green audio cable plugged in but since swapping to hdmi my screen crackles a lot, sound noise | 18:44 |
| Datz | Hi, I'm looking for a package for a package for php5 with sqlite and pdo | 18:44 |
| maco | (ok it exists...as a pile of patches outside the tree...) | 18:44 |
| undecim | mikedoty: Resolv.conf is generated by the network manager | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: oh i see, you will learn that with time | 18:45 |
| undecim | mikedoty: I'm thinking shrewsoft VPN client overwrote it | 18:45 |
| Cpt_Zyph | bingu do you have another disk i.e. winblows or something to test with.. the key is to identify if tis a problem with your target systems settings | 18:45 |
| Stereocaulon | maco, well then I'll just keep my fingers crossed and start the upgrade. | 18:45 |
| erUSUL | mikedoty: it should contain dns ip's one per line | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Craig`: I'm poor at best with sound issues | 18:45 |
| zztr | how can I get the original panel / widget setup that ubuntu starts with? | 18:45 |
| edwardteach | Taste, did you fix any problems before the upgrade ? i think upgrading over wrights some config files or something | 18:45 |
| jjam | ActionParsnip: hope so :) | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | Craig` | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Craig`: 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. | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: you learned windows right? | 18:45 |
| Stereocaulon | Leaving IRC for major upgrade, ciao! | 18:45 |
| mikedoty | undecim: That sounds like the case. Is there a way to get networkmanager to re-generate the original .conf file? | 18:45 |
| metalfan__ | mikedoty, use the network manager. resolv.conf contains the namesevers in the form nameserver somelocalip | 18:45 |
| undecim | mikedoty: When in doubt, you can just add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to use google's public DNS server | 18:45 |
| metalfan__ | 8.8.8.8? thats a nice ip | 18:46 |
| DavidC02 | how can I make XChat look awesome? | 18:46 |
| DavidC02 | XD | 18:46 |
| jjam | ActionParsnip: yes | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: how is Linux going to be any different then? | 18:46 |
| Craig` | ActionParsnip: okay thanks for sound links, sound is least of my concern atm | 18:46 |
| bingu | cpt_zyph using a fair bit of digging using a old win95 hdd i found the pw and username. ty anyways | 18:46 |
| Craig` | i just wanna fix this display issue. | 18:46 |
| undecim | metalfan__: I know. Easily remembered, Their secondary is 8.8.4.4, which is just as easy to remember | 18:46 |
| mikedoty | thanks for the namerserver 8.8 tip, that gets my pings working again | 18:46 |
| jjam | undecim: are you there? | 18:47 |
| undecim | jjam: Yes | 18:47 |
| jjam | undecim: it failed | 18:47 |
| Cpt_Zyph | bingu np | 18:47 |

| Rockj | Q: on my new laptop, my enter button gets registerd as "return" but as the second num pad enter button which gives me a lot of issues. is there a way to fix this? | 18:47 |
| mikedoty | undecim: Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent shrewsoft from overwriting that file? | 18:48 |
| jjam | ActionParsnip: because its clicking aplications and almost no commands | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: only due to the years you have used it | 18:48 |

| jjam | ya ActionParsnip your probably right | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: I had win7 on my main system a while back, took me 2 hours to find sound drivers and crank the pagefile | 18:48 |

| DexterF | anyone know a ppa with vdpau enabled libxine and kaffeien 0.8.x for 10.10? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jjam: the same rig works 100% out of the box in any distro you can throw at it including my wifi | 18:49 |
| mikedoty | Ok. I figure worst case scenario I'll throw a script together to replace that file with the original, "fixresolvconf" ro something like that. | 18:49 |
| mikedoty | Thanks a lot for your help undecim, I appreciate it | 18:49 |

| afink | that is if it will function w/o the gui also | 18:53 |
| coz_ | DexterF, I am not finding one for maverick | 18:53 |
| undecim | jjam: Can you give me a pastebin of the output of "dmesg | tail" in the terminal? | 18:54 |
| YeTr2 | afink: it feels like it locks up while udev is playing with stuff, trying to load modules and etc. | 18:54 |
| urajlee | hello-hello. is it possible to ask a website, which operating system does it use? | 18:54 |
| jjam | undecim: yes sir.. one sec | 18:54 |
| YeTr2 | afink: not to mention udev generally has a few dozen processes running at the time. | 18:54 |
| undecim | urajlee: Many websites will say on the 404 pages what OS it is running | 18:54 |
| afink | YeTr2: and everyone else does ubuntu have an interactive boot mode similar to redhat? | 18:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | What command could I use from a script to search and replace one line with another from a file? | 18:55 |
| afink | YeTr2: interactive boot is about the only other thing I can think of to at least allow you to start troubleshooting | 18:55 |
| undecim | ZykoticK9: sed | 18:55 |
| mneptok | urajlee: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph | 18:55 |
| jjam | undecim: http://pastebin.com/R3bybWjr | 18:55 |
| abstrakt | anyone have recommendations for size of system partition? | 18:56 |
| undecim | ZykoticK9: Particularly, I think you want "sed -i [PATTERN]" | 18:56 |
| undecim | abstrakt: 5 GB is usually good for me | 18:56 |
| undecim | abstrakt: 10 if you install a lot of stuff | 18:56 |
| bastidrazor | abstrakt: if you're using a seperate home then / 10GB if you plan doing an upgrade in the future. | 18:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | undecim, thanks - sed is not one of my strong points, but I'll figure it out. | 18:56 |
| kyle__ | abstrakt: I generally go with 8, but I also split off /home /var /tmp, and /opt if I use it | 18:57 |
| urajlee | undecim thanks mneptok thanks | 18:57 |
| Zookalicious | kyle__ if I can ask, what's the advantage to splitting those off into seperate partitions? | 18:57 |
| Zookalicious | I understand /home and / | 18:57 |
| jjam | undecim: you get the pastebin? | 18:57 |
| undecim | jjam: yes, and I'm looking at it now | 18:58 |
| jjam | undecim: ok | 18:58 |
| saml | is there system wide equalizer? | 18:59 |
| undecim | jjam: Can I get the output of "sudo lshw -C storage"? | 18:59 |
| kyle__ | Zookalicious: If one of them fills up, which those can easily, it won't bring down your system. | 18:59 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: really? 10G is all you need for a system drive? | 19:00 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: I will be running a LAMP server (just for local dev) etc | 19:00 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: so I'm going to possibly have large files like databases and webroot folders | 19:00 |
| kyle__ | Zookalicious: /var is usually only kept seperate for real servers, but it's habbit for me. /opt should be kept seperate, as if you're using third party binaries/installs, you quite possibly want to insulate them from system changes/re-installs/etc. | 19:00 |
| Zookalicious | kyle__: Interesting. Do you have those on logical or primary partitions? The reason I ask is because I have a multiboot setup and have reached my limit of primary partitions | 19:00 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: I mean, if I can tell MySQL to store the literal db files on my /home partition then I guess everything is cool | 19:00 |
| kyle__ | Zookalicious: I generally use LVM. | 19:00 |
| jjam | undecim: it just says SCSI | 19:01 |
| Zookalicious | kyle__: OK, thank you very much for the clarification | 19:01 |
| abstrakt | I can definitely store all my webroot folders in my home folder, that's no problem I do that anyway | 19:01 |
| abstrakt | well technically I keep the webroots on /var/www/ | 19:01 |
| abstrakt | but I always do roothog installs, personally | 19:01 |
| bastidrazor | abstrakt: you're lack of information on what the 'system' would doing resulted in a vague answer. | 19:01 |
| craiggles | hey guys. | 19:01 |
| craiggles | "Hit ctl+alt+F2 to switch to tty2" | 19:01 |
| craiggles | how do i switch to tty? | 19:01 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: no worries | 19:01 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: I'm not accusing you of anything bad :) | 19:02 |

| jjam | undecim: http://pastebin.com/vKxwfcXB | 19:02 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: so now with more information, what would you suggest | 19:02 |
| bastidrazor | abstrakt: most desktops would be fine with a / of 10GB :) | 19:02 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: as you just described. CTRL+ALT+Fn, n beeing 1 to 6 | 19:02 |
| rooth | craiggles: you press the keys you just typed . | 19:02 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: usually you switch back with CTRL+ALT+F7, but it might be f8 or higher in some cases | 19:02 |
| craiggles | oh haha. | 19:02 |
| craiggles | i thought it said "and" | 19:02 |
| craiggles | sorry about that | 19:02 |
| bastidrazor | abstrakt: how much do space do you expect to use? 30-40GB worth? if you have the available space then leave yourself lots of room | 19:03 |
| craiggles | so it's asking for my login..yet it's saying incorrect | 19:03 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: yeah, unfortunately space is actually a little bit tight on this system, dual boot with XP | 19:03 |
| Zookalicious | craiggles: out of curiosity, I pressed ctrl + alt + F1, I didn't realize that it would switch me out of gnome | 19:03 |
| Zookalicious | craiggles: took me a minute to realize what I'd done hah | 19:03 |
| craiggles | heh | 19:03 |
| craiggles | ..why isn't it taking my pass "$ | 19:04 |
| undecim | jjam: Hmm... How about just "sudo lshw". This will be a lot of output, so you can use "sudo lshw > lshw.out" to put it into the file "lshw.out" in your home directory and copy the contents of that instead of figuring out where it begins and ends in the terminal. | 19:04 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: any special characters in it? | 19:04 |
| abstrakt | bastidrazor: I guess, if I really look at it objectively, I don't think that my /var/www folder ever exceeds much more than 1-2G | 19:04 |
| craiggles | Fuchs, ' is | 19:04 |
| abstrakt | but I could see my /var/www growing further, like 5-10G | 19:04 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: you might want to write it as the username first, then you see whether some special characters are somewhere else, due to keyboard layouts | 19:04 |
| abstrakt | probably not though | 19:04 |
| craiggles | oh okay | 19:04 |
| Zookalicious | abstrakt: If you have the hard drive space and are paranoid, you are welcome to make it a bit larger | 19:05 |
| FredGeek | hi, my usb playstation adaptor isnt working, how can i make it work? | 19:05 |

| craiggles | Fuchs, it still says it's incorrect | 19:06 |
| undecim | when you say log file, you mean lshw.out? | 19:06 |
| FredGeek | ZykoticK9, yes, and a cat /dev/input/js0 and js1 and pressing any button dont alter nothing | 19:06 |
| jjam | yes | 19:06 |
| abstrakt | tsimpson: well, if all my web projects (what I get paid for) live in /var/www then that's a reason | 19:06 |
| craiggles | i use dvorak, but tit's typing dvorak using normal console | 19:06 |

| craiggles | Fuchs, then im clueless. | 19:07 |
| kyle__ | ZykoticK9: Ah. I only used mine in mame, which was installed out of apt, so it-just-worked(tm) | 19:07 |

| dziadu | hi guys | 19:09 |
| kyle__ | FredGeek: My PS2-usb adapter has two ports, and is _very_ inconsistent about which port is given to which controller. | 19:09 |
| Zookalicious | hi dziadu | 19:09 |
| abstrakt | honestly seems somewhat pointless for me to have /opt also because anything custom that I'm gonna put in there probably is going to be Distro version dependent | 19:09 |
| abstrakt | at least, that's my guess | 19:09 |
| massimo | /etc/iptables.rules or /etc/iptables/rules | 19:09 |
| FredGeek | kyle__, mine have 2 ports too | 19:09 |
| tsimpson | abstrakt: I'd be especially concerned about /var/lib, things in there are package/library version specific | 19:09 |
| kyle__ | abstrakt: it depends. If you use oracle, db2 or websphere, you'll want it :) | 19:09 |

| chovynz | I'm having trouble with my login onto the ubuntu forums. Is an admin in this room to help me? | 19:11 |
| abstrakt | tsimpson: the only other main thought I have though is what about /home, seems to me that lots of stuff in /home is version specific too no? | 19:11 |
| Zookalicious | massimo: have you looked at 'man iptables'? I haven't used iptables myself. Any computer I have that isn't connected through a router I just used whatever GUI for iptables is in the Ubuntu Software Center | 19:12 |
| kyle__ | abstrakt: sometimes gnome/kde stuff is, but most programs are version specific, not distro specific. | 19:12 |
| abstrakt | tsimpson: like .pidgin .gimp .whatever are probably fairly specific to versions and versions change between releases and between distros | 19:12 |
| civixier | hey guys, I've forgot what to write in ccsm > window decoration when I dont want ANY window decorations to ANY window what so ever. I tried !(any) without any luck =/ | 19:12 |
| brightsitesconsu | If I have a folder called test and another folder called test2 how can I from the command line copy all the files from test2 to test and create new files where no match but overwrite where there is a match and keep files in test that don't exist in test2? | 19:12 |
| abstrakt | kyle__: er wait... gnome/kde stuff is what? | 19:12 |
| kyle__ | abstrakt: I use the same /home (via nfs) for ubuntu 10.04 boxes, OSX 10.5, and OSX 10.6 boxes. Causes very few issues. | 19:12 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 19:13 |
| abstrakt | kyle__: hmm, but OSX is going to have fairly radically different settings folders | 19:13 |
| tsimpson | abstrakt: you do have to be careful, yes. but (generally) most GUI apps don't change their config too much very often | 19:13 |
| abstrakt | kyle__: OSX stuff lives in Library/Application Data no? | 19:13 |
| kyle__ | abstrakt: gnome and kde stuff in /home is often customized by the distro. | 19:13 |
| craiggles | Fuchs, someone said they remove the need of root in the console, by removing the tty lines from /etc/securetty | 19:13 |
| craiggles | but i dont know what to remove, only tty2? | 19:13 |
| kyle__ | abstrakt: Mostly yes. Which makes it very convient, no collisions. | 19:13 |
| abstrakt | kyle__: ahh gotcha | 19:13 |
| saltlake71 | ciao | 19:13 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: are you trying to log in as root? | 19:13 |
| craiggles | no | 19:13 |
| craiggles | i just ctrl alt f2 | 19:13 |
| saltlake71 | please help with iptables rules location | 19:13 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: then you can ignore that | 19:13 |
| craiggles | and then any command needs pass | 19:13 |
| arek | siuuur ;p | 19:13 |
| craiggles | so i cant do anything... | 19:14 |
| abstrakt | there seriously needs to be two separate folders /home and /settings | 19:14 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: what are you trying to achieve? | 19:14 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: why do you have to log in on a tty anyway? | 19:14 |
| saltlake71 | is right /etc/iptables.rules ? | 19:14 |
| abstrakt | or more like /home/usage and /home/settings | 19:14 |
| abstrakt | or something | 19:14 |
| craiggles | Fuchs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1003099&page=2 | 19:14 |
| abstrakt | like /home/usage/john and /home/settings/john | 19:14 |
| Taste | so.... last night i was prompted with an updat, so i updated, but after i updated, my sound no longer works.... anyone know whats with that? | 19:15 |

| Fuchs | craiggles: do not install the nvidia driver manually. It is a really bad idea which will break your graphical environment at the next kernel update. | 19:15 |
| Fuchs | ah, just to start X with --logverbose, I see, sorry | 19:15 |
| marinus2 | hi | 19:15 |
| undecim | jjam: I can't find anyone having these issues with that drive model... | 19:15 |
| Zookalicious | hey marinus2 | 19:16 |
| Fuchs | craiggles: you should be able to read out those values of the edid file you can read out with nvidia-settings | 19:16 |
| abstrakt | crap, lol one more question :) | 19:16 |
| * Fuchs now has to go | 19:16 | |
| marinus2 | hi | 19:16 |
| abstrakt | I always forget how much swap is recommended? | 19:16 |
| jjam | undecim: :( | 19:16 |
| abstrakt | is it like half RAM? same size as RAM? double RAM? | 19:16 |
| abstrakt | I've got 4G of ram | 19:16 |
| Zookalicious | abstrakt: I think the recommended is something like double, but if you have 4GB of RAM I don't think you will find yourself using that swap space very often | 19:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, if you use hybernate then your swap must be larger then your physical ram | 19:17 |
| undecim | jjam: Maybe see what happens if you use the -raw flag with wodim | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrakt: the settings are stored on a per-user basis, so storing it in $HOME makes sense, plus it makes backups clearer | 19:17 |
| abstrakt | ZykoticK9: what's hybernate? | 19:17 |
| undecim | jjam: i.e. "wodim -raw /path/to/iso" | 19:17 |
| FredGeek | abstrakt, just 1g, and problably u will never use swap | 19:17 |
| abstrakt | ZykoticK9: you don't mean Java hibernate do you? | 19:17 |
| mbeierl | anyone using kernel 2.6.36 and iphone tethering via ipheth? | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | abstrakt: swap for 4Gb RAM is 4Gb is you need suspend/hibernate | 19:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, sorry Hibernate - like in a laptop, deep sleep sorta thing | 19:17 |
| tsimpson | abstrakt: if you want to hibernate to disk, than 1.5xRAM is good, otherwise somewhere around 1GB is a general recommendation | 19:17 |
| abstrakt | ActionParsnip: ohhh, right gotcha | 19:17 |
| abstrakt | hmm... yeah good question on whether to hibernate or not... I do kind of like that feature | 19:18 |
| abstrakt | feel like it taxes the HD a lot though i.e. wear and tear will make the HD not last as long | 19:18 |
| === LordNikon is now known as JNZ | ||
| ActionParsnip | abstrakt: if you don't then 4Gb is plenty unless you start going into large image manipulation / video editting / graphical design etc, but you should be fine | 19:18 |
| craiggles | Fuchs, i'd rather follow thet tutorial | 19:19 |
| craiggles | im rather clueless tbh | 19:19 |
| Zookalicious | abstrakt: I wouldn't worry about that from Hibernation. Unless you're doing it constantly (keep in mind that it's different from sleep mode) | 19:19 |
| abstrakt | Zookalicious: yeah I'm aware that hibernate is different than sleep | 19:19 |
| abstrakt | thing is, the way I use hibernation, I use it constantly :) | 19:20 |
| jjam | undecim: Ill just burn it in windows | 19:20 |
| jjam | undecim: thanks for your help though | 19:20 |
| abstrakt | ok thx all, peace | 19:20 |

| tomshaw | Does Ubuntu supprt intel 64 bit? | 19:28 |
| maco | tomshaw: intel licenses the amd64 architecture from amd for most of their consumer 64bit hardware | 19:29 |
| tsimpson | tomshaw: the AMD64 version works just as well on Intel too, it's not just for AMD chips | 19:29 |

| maco | tomshaw: intel's 64bit arch is itanium (aka itanic for its massive build failure rate...), abbreviated ia64, and is not backwards compatible (ie cant run 32bit OSes) so it totally failed in the consumer market (but servers with it still exist) | 19:30 |

| schnuffle | scelis: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre | 19:39 |
| rdshowalter | i didnt thats the issue the person that had it before did | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rdshowalter: the installer can wipe. Just read the screen and think. If you only boot ubuntu then go crazy | 19:39 |
| gordonjcp | KipMacy: no, because I don't use vncviewer ;-) | 19:39 |
| rdshowalter | i cant run any updates or download anything | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: it should appear in | 19:40 |
| dreamer000 | how can you describe the unfunctionality? | 19:40 |

| gordonjcp | ZykoticK9: thanks for the help | 19:42 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: you too ;-) | 19:42 |
| gordonjcp | so the answer is, if the notification area has gone, you don't get nm-applet showing | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: then add it. Fwiw, its only a co | 19:42 |
| dreamer000 | rdshow..: means your browser is working fine? | 19:42 |

| jshriver | greetings, looking for router recommendations for a soho environment. Or someplace online where I can find more info. A lot of products out there, had trouble with Sonicwall in the past leaning toward Cisco. | 19:46 |
| axisys | ActionParsnip: i guess so.. but looking for views based on personal experience | 19:47 |
| scelis | ActionParsnip: that didn't help... i already followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation once. Java was installed a few weeks ago. then it seemed to have vanished with an aptitude dist-upgrade | 19:47 |
| blazon | jshriver, have you used Cisco hardware? | 19:47 |
| abstrakt | I would like to have 3 separate root partitions... "ubuntu old" "ubuntu current" and "random distro sandbox" and also I will have my windows partition and a "myfiles" partition | 19:47 |
| blazon | its not even close to sonicwall | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !ot | jshriver | 19:47 |
| ubottu | jshriver: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:47 |
| jshriver | blazon: in the past yeah | 19:47 |
| jshriver | sorry | 19:47 |
| abstrakt | the thing I'm thinking about right now, and I don't quite remember the details on this | 19:47 |
| abstrakt | there's something with "primary" and "extended" partitions isn't there? and can't you only install systems in to primary partitions? | 19:48 |
| abstrakt | how many primary partitions can I create? | 19:48 |
| abstrakt | I will need 4 of them theoretically in this scheme of things, one windows and 3 nix | 19:48 |
| maco | adelie42: ok i googled it and see what it does. also looks like neither does fedora's version. and the manpage doesnt claim it has it (in either distro) so...no surprise that trying it fails | 19:48 |
| dreamer000 | is the servers strong enough for updates for the future of the planet? | 19:48 |
| blazon | abstrakt, set partitions, install, stup bootloader | 19:48 |
| blazon | easy as that | 19:48 |
| maco | abstrakt: you can install into extended too, just keep grub outside | 19:48 |
| Pici | !who | dreamer000 | 19:48 |
| ubottu | dreamer000: 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 :) | 19:48 |
| Jeruvy | abstrakt: you can have 4 primary partitions, however this is a windows issue, ubuntu will install on any partition. | 19:49 |
| abstrakt | maco, um... what do you mean by outside? outside of what? | 19:49 |
| maco | abstrakt: not inside a partition. put grub on the mbr, in the usual way of things | 19:49 |
| abstrakt | Jeruvy, oh ok, cool good to know... I will only have a single roothog windows partition | 19:49 |
| abstrakt | maco, ahh yes of course | 19:49 |
| maco | abstrakt: the bootloader has to be outside the extended partition...thats the only requirement | 19:49 |
| abstrakt | maco, great, sounds good | 19:49 |
| rdshowalter | !dreamer: any ideas | 19:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:50 |
| maco | abstrakt: maaaaybe need a /boot as a primary, but i dont think so | 19:50 |
| blazon | hey guys, i have a box that is constantly writing to disk, http://pastebin.com/rByBzv7H (ps ax), has anyone else had a similar problem? | 19:50 |
| dreamer000 | Pici, this time it was correct ;) | 19:50 |
| abstrakt | maco uhh, I never use or make use of or have a separate /boot partition | 19:50 |
| abstrakt | maco, so I really don't think it matters | 19:50 |
| abstrakt | if you're saying grub just needs to be in the MBR | 19:50 |
| abstrakt | then really nothing should matter | 19:51 |
| Valkyrie | Okay, here's part of the issue i'm having with HL2 in Wine | 19:51 |
| maco | abstrakt: grub should be on mbr, and i think it should be fine with finding the grub configs inside the OS's partition, but if not, you can make a /boot partition as a primary to put the grub configs in | 19:51 |
| Care09Bear | can anyone help me with a dbus no reply error in trying to access my hard drive to back up files? | 19:51 |
| WolfDogDesigns | does ubuntu come with firewall? cause ive got port forwarding set up on router, but amsn still says it cant connect on it | 19:52 |
| maco | abstrakt: put it this way: i *know* having a separate primary-parition /boot will work. i *think* itll work without that too | 19:52 |
| maco | abstrakt: and of course one /boot can be shared among multiple OSes | 19:52 |
| Valkyrie | Alright. Here it is. This is a part of it. Those models switch colors. Like the rainbow | 19:52 |
| Valkyrie | and some models don't show up | 19:52 |

| abstrakt | I would say it exactly the opposite way, I *know* that not bothering with a separate /boot partition will work | 19:53 |

| scelis | let's try this again. I have followed the documentation for installing sun's java. it was installed a week ago but somehow got uninstalled with a recent update. can anyone please help? https://gist.github.com/f7119f6a69b405268b80 | 19:59 |
| Valkyrie | http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/261/screenshot3ko.png <-- Those models that are blue keep changing colors. And where that table is, there's supposed to be a TV.. And oher people don't seem to show up.. This is ofcourse under wine, Ubuntu 10.10, wine 1.2.1 and Intel GPU. | 19:59 |
| scelis | TL;DR: I keep getting "No candidate version found for sun-java6-jre" even though my sources.list seems correct | 20:00 |
| Jordan_U | Care09Bear: There are two issues. 1: dbus seems not to be responding 2: You can't mount the drive you need through the GUI because of problem #1. You can mount the partition without the GUI, and without dbus, so which problem would you like to try to fix first (accessing the drive, or fixing dbus)? | 20:00 |
| dreewill | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/4f8ikbG3 | 20:00 |

| bastidrazor | madprof: devede does very well | 20:01 |
| Jordan_U | rdshowalter: Then simply install telling the installer to use the entire drive. You can back up any documents you do want from the LiveCD before re-installing. | 20:01 |
| Care09Bear | Jordan_U can accessing the drive be done without fixing dbus? | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | Care09Bear: Yes. | 20:02 |
| madprof | Bastidrazor: I'll give it a whirl thnx | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | dreewill: Your wireless card is BCM4313. | 20:02 |
| Care09Bear | Jordan_U then i guess that would be the preferred first option here | 20:03 |
| dreewill | Jordan_u: oh, but then i'm wondering why it doesn't work | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Care09Bear: the partitions will be treated as simple data | 20:03 |
| Care09Bear | ActionParsnip as simple data that can be backed up to another location for a clean install aftewards? | 20:03 |
| dreewill | Jordan_U: i have installed the broadcom-sta driver. by the way i'm running ubuntu 10.04 | 20:03 |
| rdshowalter | Jordan_U: i do not have livecd i want to have the new version of ubuntu and start off like new | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Care09Bear: exactly, to a network storage or usb/firewire storage | 20:04 |
| flobee__ | anyway to figure out why my ubuntu is frozen when i come to the office? after i restart and do: less /var/log/messages; all i see is: rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'. | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | rdshowalter: Is there anything preventing you from creating a LiveCD? | 20:04 |
| Care09Bear | ActionParsnip: then that is what i'd like to do at this point in time | 20:05 |
| schnuffle | scelis: add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner to your sources list | 20:05 |
| Jordan_U | Care09Bear: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? (This will give information needed to mount the partition you need manually). | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Care09Bear: obviously if regular backups are taken, the recovery isn't needed | 20:05 |
| schnuffle | scelis: did you do an upgrade from hardy? | 20:06 |
| rdshowalter | Jordan_U: yes i cannot do anything on the comp that deals with burning downloading updating or anything my os is in a messed up state | 20:06 |
| scelis | schnuffle: ah, i found something that states that java moved from multiverse to partner, though the wiki pages at ubuntu.com haven't been updated to reflect this yet | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Care09Bear: you can access the partitions from the Places menu | 20:06 |
| Jordan_U | rdshowalter: You don't have any other computer? | 20:07 |
| scelis | schnuffle: that is why i was so confused. adding partner did in fact fix it. | 20:07 |
| rdshowalter | jordan_U: nope and i really need this one for school | 20:08 |
| Care09Bear | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/558688/ | 20:08 |

| Fuchs | adelie42: you can install a different netcat version, there are two | 20:08 |
| ierty | hi | 20:08 |
| ierty | there | 20:08 |
| scelis | schnuffle: all the hardy entries you are seeing are commented out. the ones that werent commented out were auto-upgraded to lucid during the upgrade | 20:08 |
| ierty | is it possible to X display on a X display ? | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | adelie42: did you read: man socat ? | 20:09 |
| adelie42 | Fuchs: the other version is in the repository? | 20:09 |
| Fuchs | adelie42: there is netcat-traditional and netcat-openbsd, try the other one | 20:09 |
| Fuchs | adelie42: both are, and netcat is just a metapackage saying that you have one of the two | 20:09 |
| rdshowalter | Jordan_U: thanks for any help u can offer | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Ierty: look into x | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Xnest | 20:09 |
| schnuffle | scelis: it' just that its hard to see what active and what not, keeping it clean is optinal but helps analyzing problems :) | 20:09 |
| adelie42 | Fuchs: thanks | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | rdshowalter: So you are currently using IRC from this mostly broken install? | 20:10 |
| schnuffle | optional ^^ | 20:10 |
| ierty | what i have to install Xnest ? ActionParsnip | 20:10 |

| ActionParsnip | Ierty: if i understand you right | 20:10 |
| Jordan_U | Care09Bear: Is "FreeAgent Drive" what you want to access? | 20:10 |
| Care09Bear | no thats where i want to back up to | 20:10 |
| Care09Bear | i can access that one | 20:11 |
| ierty | do you understand well my questioN ? | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ierty: see what it does first but then, yes | 20:11 |
| scelis | schnuffle: alright. thanks for the help :) | 20:11 |
| ierty | ok let me check | 20:11 |
| schnuffle | scelis: your welcome | 20:11 |
| rdshowalter | jordan_U: im not sure i havent been able to update this jewel in a hott minute | 20:11 |
| ierty | on host or guest ? ActionParsnip | 20:12 |
| Jordan_U | Care09Bear: What do you want to access that you can't currently? | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Ierty: you can ssh to localhost and run an X server in an x server in a window. The lubuntu site has a good guide | 20:14 |
| adelie42 | Fuchs: Ok, I have both packages installed, but it appears that nc is linked to netcat. I see one version that does not support the -e option. What am I missing here? | 20:14 |
| Fuchs | adelie42: both do not support it? | 20:14 |
| ierty | ActionParsnip: Xnest ubuntu can't find on apt ? | 20:14 |

| adelie42 | Fuchs: There is only one version as far as I can tell, one man page, and two ways to execute the one program; nc and netcat | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Ierty: hit the lubuntu site there is a video to guide | 20:15 |
| Care09Bear | Jordan_U: when i open computer menu i have my extrnal drive, my harddisk which has 2 partitions the one with all the data on it and then the recovery partition. trying to access the data portion of it. | 20:15 |

| joeoshawa | i know it sounds dumb but it looks like its finished but you need to apply changes | 20:41 |
| Repgahroll | joeoshawa, well in fact no, lsusb doesn't list the devices, that is the card reader =/ | 20:42 |

| joeoshawa | Repgahroll: try removing the device and reconnecting | 20:43 |
| M__ | Seveas, yeah. | 20:43 |
| joeoshawa | i doubt it | 20:43 |
| Seveas | M__, peruse the apt.conf manpage, apt seems to support this | 20:44 |
| joeoshawa | possible tho | 20:44 |
| Repgahroll | joeoshawa, doesn't make a difference, even trying another usb port. | 20:44 |
| M__ | Seveas, could you gimme a link? | 20:44 |
| Seveas | M__, just type "man apt.conf" in the terminal | 20:44 |

| Repgahroll | joeoshawa, nope, it doesn't see it. | 20:48 |

| blazon | and like 5 opther people said the same thing | 21:42 |
| boiiii | the only reason utorrent is and will always be better than any other native linux torrent program is that it's the only available ghostleech method | 21:42 |

| pawleeq | I am trying to compile Insight3d (http://insight3d.sourceforge.net/) and it needs "opencv"... the make crashes saying that interface_opencv.h does not exist (which is pretty possible... so the question is: what package should I install? | 22:02 |
| sah | Jordan_U: do i need to back up the grub before doing so? | 22:02 |
| el_seano | do you know the package names? or did you install them manually from the appearence menu? | 22:03 |
| PreciousRoi_ | Having a problem with the glasen ppa intel drivers under Maverick... Intel Extreme Graphics 2 on a Gateway 7320 lappy... I can't change resolutions or use a 2nd monitor without them, but they don't seem to work correctly on my system and crash X after a while | 22:03 |

| nit-wit | hblount, being a noob is even better reasons to avoid the software center it is not a easy way out. | 22:03 |
| sah | trying that now | 22:03 |
| el_seano | if the former, then sudo apt-get remove && sudo apt-get autoremove. If the latter... uh let's see. | 22:03 |
| DaGeek247 | myself wow. try changing "root" as the owner the exe file and then mark it as executable again. | 22:03 |
| nit-wit | hblount, I f I new the command I would tell you though. | 22:03 |
| el_seano | well, there's a remove option that should work with anything you manually installed. | 22:04 |
| hblount | hi. what is the command to install software center? | 22:04 |
| dannyD | el_seano: don't remember the names. it was a whole load of stuff I did to give my desktop the appearance of a Mac. But I decided I hate macs so went back to good ol Ubuntu | 22:04 |
| sah | Jordan_U: awesome, it found windows. :) thanks. so now, if i reboot, i should have windows in the os choices, right? | 22:04 |
| el_seano | hblount: sudo apt-get install synaptic | 22:05 |

| myself | Do others also get this problem on version 10.10? | 22:06 |

| TokyoDan | I just installed 10.04 Server LTE on a fresh system. The installation went smoothly and finished and told me to remove the CDROM. I did then hit continue to restart. But it always says Can't find bootable CDROM, and stops. | 22:06 |

| le0- | tokyodan.. in bios are you still trying to boot fron cd/dvd.. might need to change to cdrom | 22:07 |
| le0- | i eman hard drive | 22:07 |
| zzeyu_ | hello is there anyone here ? | 22:07 |
| ubu_ply | Cana nyone tell me the difference between apt-get purge and apt-get remove? | 22:08 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: you can rely on it. If you have questions, just ask. Somebody will answer eventually. | 22:08 |
| brontoeee | ubu_ply, purge also removes all configs i belive | 22:08 |
| justin__ | ubu_ply, purge removes configs | 22:08 |
| ubu_ply | Okay, thanks | 22:08 |
| KM0201 | ubu_ply: i believe "remove" actuall uninstalls the program, purge, i believe also removes the configuration files for a program(like if you need to clean install a program) | 22:08 |
| myself | <DaGeek247> 10.04 worked without problems, but I then updated it to this version. Can I go back to 10.04 without having to reinstall? | 22:08 |
| el_seano | ubu_ply: also, man apt-get. It's pretty expository for a manpage. | 22:09 |
| juancarlos | hola | 22:09 |
| justin__ | ubu_ply, purge is good if you are having a problem with a program and want to reinstall with default settings | 22:09 |
| DaGeek247 | i never tried it | 22:09 |
| sah | Jordan_U: is a "LiveCD" the same as an installation cd or something slightly different? last week, when i installed ubuntu, i downloaded the os from their site and then burned/ran the installation from the cd. same thing? | 22:09 |
| juancarlos | alguien con quien conversar | 22:09 |
| ubu_ply | So, bottom line is that if I want to clean uninstall a program, purge | 22:09 |
| justin__ | sah, a live CD will install as well | 22:10 |
| DaGeek247 | myself i have no idea. ask. | 22:10 |
| el_seano | ubu_ply: It also helps to run an apt-get autoremove and/or autoclean to get rid of orphaned packages. | 22:10 |
| PreciousRoi_ | Trying to get my display drivers to work, Maverick, Gateway 7320, Intel Extreme 2 (Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)), so far I've had no luck, I've installed the drivers from the Glasen PPA, created xorg.conf, which allows me to change resolutions and recognizes my monitor, but crashes X after a while | 22:10 |
| justin__ | sah, a live cd will let you try out the OS before install as well | 22:11 |
| zzeyu_ | hello is there anyone here ? | 22:11 |
| joeoshawa | myself you could try installing overtop without formatting the partitions but back everything up no guarentees | 22:11 |
| DaGeek247 | zzayzu_ yes | 22:11 |
| sah | justin: okay | 22:11 |
| zzeyu_ | I use this command to be able to connect to my server ssh-X root @ server1 on my server, my server on ubuntu-9.10 I installed virtualbox on ubuntu server with guest lucid, what is the command to retrieve the GUI of my ubuntu hardy, knowing that I'm already log in ssh-X on the server? | 22:11 |
| theprep_ | I am locked out of Ubuntu after modifying the xorg file for #D | 22:12 |
| joeoshawa | i have done it for various reasons and it works for me if i don't repartion or reformat | 22:12 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: ssh -X will just forward a single app, not so much the desktop environment. | 22:12 |
| joeoshawa | never tried with a older distro tho | 22:12 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: Look into VNC to have a remote interactive desktop session. | 22:12 |

| === nan is now known as Guest99404 | ||
| joeoshawa | there actually is a program you can make a live cd off your current install | 22:15 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: Then make sure your host accepts Xforwarding by looking for the option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and setting it to 'yes' and once you have a shell connection just run the binary. | 22:15 |
| jon8 | How can I be sure that ubuntu is detecting my CPU correctly.. and detecting it as a Dual Core | 22:15 |
| el_seano | raphaf: Are you able to get into the BIOS on your notebook? | 22:15 |
| cfurlin | I use rsync for all my backup needs. works great. | 22:15 |
| brontoeee | myself, simple backup suite, but it has no decent docs i think | 22:15 |
| el_seano | jon8: lshw | less will tell you the make, model, speed (unless it's an athlon but that's a different story) and number of cores on your machine. | 22:16 |

| KM0201 | itaylor57: off the top of my head?... not really | 22:16 |
| el_seano | jon8: alternatively you can use dmidecode (which is much prettier than lshw, but requires root priviledge) | 22:16 |
| goltoof | !wacom | 22:16 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: thanks | 22:16 |

| Aginor | jon8: it should list each core as a separate cpu | 22:17 |
| myself | Thanks for the input guys. I'll give this a try. | 22:17 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: Are you not able to run the app from your shell then? | 22:17 |
| itaylor57 | brontoeee: thanks I will take a look at iyt | 22:18 |
| Aginor | kieppie: I know nothing of lirc at all, but have you tried loading the module manually and restarting the lirc stuff? | 22:18 |
| itaylor57 | brontoeee: thanks I will take a look at it | 22:18 |
| el_seano | raphaf: Do you have an external keyboard lying around? If your notebook keyboard's not working and there's no obvious options in BIOS, might give that a shot. | 22:18 |
| kieppie | i.e. where (what sources.list entry) can I get the current linux-ubuntu-modules-`uanme -r`? | 22:18 |
| Aginor | kieppie: if that works, you can make sure it loads the module during boot | 22:18 |
| brontoeee | itaylor57, ask in #x264 on what are the current affairs | 22:18 |
| zzeyu_ | yes correct el_seano | 22:18 |
| kieppie | Aginor: I'm looking fo rth emodule, but having trouble locating my linux-ubuntu-modules-`uanme -r` | 22:18 |

| el_seano | raphaf: good luck :) | 22:19 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: Which app are you trying to run? | 22:19 |
| TokyoDan | LeO- 1st boot device is CDROM, 2nd is floppy, 3rd is SCSI (IDE) disk | 22:19 |
| Aginor | kieppie: they should be in /lib/modules/<kernel> | 22:19 |
| zzeyu_ | firefox for example el_seano | 22:19 |

| Bushman | bluetooth dongle dies. need help! https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/19/168 | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | zzeyu_: Ubuntu does not support having a root password set, and you definitely should *NOT* be running firefox as root. | 22:22 |
| zzeyu_ | but i can't able to display firefox | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | zzeyu_: Why are you trying to login as root? | 22:22 |
| el_seano | oh | 22:22 |
| el_seano | heh | 22:22 |
| Aginor | kieppie: is there a package for the modules that is missing? | 22:22 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: you xserver on the vm to display firefox. | 22:23 |
| el_seano | if you don't have a window environment for firefox, firefox can't display. | 22:23 |
| kieppie | Aginor: it would seem that way. I think some of the newer | 22:23 |
| el_seano | rather, you need xserver | 22:23 |
| Aginor | kieppie: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ubuntu_lirc_install looks relevant to you | 22:23 |
| afink | can you use empathy with a private xmpp server? | 22:23 |
| zzeyu_ | for me nothing root or user for it gives same result | 22:24 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: sudo apt-get install xorg | 22:24 |
| kieppie | Aginor: it would seem that way. I think since some of the newer kernels, it's not been present, so I'm looking for the linux-ubuntu-modules-* | 22:24 |
| erUSUL | afink: do not see why not | 22:24 |

| el_seano | zzeyu_: after xorg, you'll need to make sure you have the dependencies for firefox installed, and possibly a vmdriver to support it | 22:25 |
| el_seano | I'm not terribly experienced with setting up vms. | 22:25 |

| Aginor | kieppie: they're supposed to be in linux-ubuntu-modules | 22:26 |

| Aginor | kieppie: according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/lirc-modules-source | 22:26 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: It might be easier to just install gnome-desktop than a vanilla xserver. | 22:26 |

| el_seano | zzeyu_: (but there are a mighty crapton of dependencies that come with that) | 22:27 |
| Aginor | kieppie: what was the name of the module? | 22:27 |
| kieppie | Aginor: thanks. what repo do I enable? looks like universe? | 22:27 |

| afink | I see now, got it thank you! | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | no problem | 22:29 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: allocate more space to your vm and restart it? Firefox is a pretty space-hungry app too. If you're just doing light browsing, you could try using a text-based browser. | 22:29 |
| el_seano | zzeyu_: then you could completely sidestep the need for the desktop environment,. | 22:29 |

| dre^ | Hi. Any ideas why when I choose "ubuntu 10.10 latest" and '64 bit' from the download page, I'm fed an ISO with amd64 in the name? Is this ISO really only for AMD processors? | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | !amd64 | 22:38 |

| jc-denton | sacarlson: no | 22:51 |
| petar | erUSUL: oh, boy that sounds like trouble | 22:52 |
| jc-denton | Mainboard is a gigabyte p55a-ud4 and disks are all sata | 22:52 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: no you can't run fdisk -l or no your no no hard disks can be seen? | 22:52 |
| petar | erUSUL: where do I check if its enabled? | 22:52 |

| zzeyu_ | once after installing ubuntu-desktop what is the command to display graphical interface ? | 22:53 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: then what did you boot from? | 22:53 |
| joeoshawa | jc-denton: first and formost does your bios see the disk | 22:53 |
| jc-denton | the cd of course | 22:53 |
| jc-denton | joeoshawa: windows does it | 22:53 |
| jc-denton | I'm not dumb. | 22:53 |
| joeoshawa | i didn't say you were just covering bases | 22:54 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: oh is this a wubi install? | 22:54 |
| jc-denton | sacarlson: I don't know what wubi is and I don't want it | 22:54 |
| joeoshawa | btw incidentally being rude is an excellent way to have people tell you rtfm | 22:54 |
| m2mg | zzeyu_: startx | 22:55 |
| zzeyu_ | startx not working | 22:55 |
| zzeyu_ | command not found | 22:55 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: I don't like wubi eather, so you booted direct from cd the pastebin sudo mount | 22:55 |
| m2mg | zzeyu_: are u logged in ? | 22:56 |

| zzeyu_ | i enter my root and password | 22:57 |

| zzeyu_ | i got command not found | 22:57 |
| jc-denton | sacarlson: there is no harddrive | 22:57 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: you don't need a hard drive to mount something, lets see the results | 22:58 |
| jc-denton | /dev/sd* no such file or dir | 22:58 |
| jc-denton | is this normal or what? | 22:58 |
| joeoshawa | apt-get install x-window-system | 22:59 |
| MrSiebel | Does anyone know how to copy php? | 22:59 |
| joeoshawa | zzeyu_: apt-get install x-window-system | 22:59 |
| erUSUL | MrSiebel: from where? | 22:59 |
| asdg | hallo | 22:59 |

| sburwood1 | I use Ubuntu 10.10 | 23:00 |
| joeoshawa | what distro etc you using exactly | 23:00 |
| jc-denton | sacarlson: no i'm not | 23:00 |
| erUSUL | MrSiebel: you can not, | 23:00 |
| === goviel is now known as reapcorp | ||

| sburwood1 | joeoshawa: I use Ubuntu 10.10 | 23:00 |
| sburwood1 | Maverick | 23:00 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: no your not in boot rescue? try ls | 23:00 |
| MrSiebel | So do I have to own the database to have access to the php? | 23:01 |
| === reapcorp is now known as goviel | ||
| jc-denton | sacarlson: ? | 23:01 |
| joeoshawa | sorry my bad that was for someone else | 23:01 |
| m2mg | zzeyu_: try this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 23:01 |
| jc-denton | it finds something when i grep for sata in dmesg | 23:01 |
| joeoshawa | zzeyu_: what distro exactly | 23:01 |
| zzeyu_ | ubuntu | 23:01 |
| joeoshawa | 10.10? | 23:01 |
| zzeyu_ | yes | 23:01 |
| sburwood1 | joeoshawa: are you answering me? Because since the installation, there have been other kernels installed | 23:01 |
| joeoshawa | not zzeyu | 23:01 |
| joeoshawa | sorry no zzeyu | 23:02 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: if you can grep then you must be booted, why can't we get results from sudo mount command? | 23:02 |
| wasnik | how to get bamboo to work on karmic | 23:02 |
| jc-denton | sacarlson: because I don't have a browser?! | 23:02 |
| joeoshawa | zzeyu_: i don't understand this should all be installed by default | 23:02 |
| erUSUL | !pastebinit | jc-denton | 23:02 |
| ubottu | jc-denton: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:02 |
| m2mg | zzeyu_: did that work ?? | 23:02 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: you don't need a browser you need a terminal type in a terminal sudo mount | 23:03 |
| clarkfischer | I'm trying to install ubuntu netbook on my Acer Aspire One netbook, and I've made a bootable USB disk per the tutorial, but my netbook won't boot to it! How can I get it to boot to the USB disk? | 23:03 |
| clarkfischer | I've changed the boot order, btw | 23:03 |
| zzeyu_ | no not working m2mg | 23:03 |
| zzeyu_ | command not found | 23:03 |
| joeoshawa | zzeyu_: are you sure you didn't install debian by mistake? | 23:04 |
| jc-denton | sacarlson: The hd should be available at /dev/sda or something, right? | 23:04 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: also in a terminal try the command sudo fdisk -l | 23:04 |
| jc-denton | sacarlson: Yes that returns nothing | 23:04 |
| jc-denton | as I said about 100 times | 23:04 |
| zzeyu_ | may be | 23:04 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: yes but you also said mount shows nothing and that's imposible | 23:04 |
| jc-denton | Maybe change the sata mode from ide to ahci | 23:04 |
| jc-denton | ? | 23:05 |
| joeoshawa | it should still install those packages but it would make more sence | 23:05 |
| w1n5ton0 | Can someone help me with partitioning | 23:05 |
| w1n5ton0 | ? | 23:05 |
| ledah | clarkfischer: you're using ubuntu right now and want to install it over it or just a clean instalation? | 23:05 |
| joeoshawa | guys what is a command for checking your distro via command line | 23:05 |
| jc-denton | Sooooo | 23:05 |
| jc-denton | I changed the serial ata control to ahci and it worked! | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | joeoshawa: lsb_release -a | 23:06 |
| sacarlson | jc-denton: so if we don't recieve the info we need we can't help you | 23:06 |
| jc-denton | Linux can't deal with ide mode?!! | 23:06 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: Clean installation, it currently is running Win7 | 23:06 |
| w1n5ton0 | I have a 30 GB ntfs partition | 23:06 |
| jc-denton | and what is ahci anyways? | 23:06 |
| w1n5ton0 | And a whole bunch of unallocated space | 23:06 |
| joeoshawa | nm he left | 23:06 |
| Blue1 | joeoshawa: cat /etc/issue | 23:06 |
| ledah | clarkfischer: a dual boot? | 23:07 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: No, I really have no need for win7 ;) | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | jc-denton: ahci is the best mode for a sata chip to work. ide emulation is only there so retarded ( windows XP ) OS's do not choke on install | 23:07 |
| joeoshawa | debian is a perfectly good disto dont' get me wrong just a completely different problem | 23:07 |
| w1n5ton0 | How do I tell the installer to use all the extra space? | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | jc-denton: and i say that linux forcing ahci on users is Good Thing (tm) | 23:07 |
| jc-denton | erUSUL: will my windows still work after I changed it? | 23:07 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: Is there a way I can verify that the USB drive is valid? | 23:08 |
| m2mg | zzeyu_: type this in and it will tell u what version of linux u are useing lsb_release -a | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | jc-denton: it may need to install the ahci drivers in the next boot | 23:08 |
| jc-denton | erUSUL: yeah like that it does not install when u just enter the cd is a good thing. | 23:08 |
| w1n5ton0 | Do I set it as a logical or primary partition? | 23:08 |
| ledah | clarkfischer: change the boot order in the bios | 23:08 |
| w1n5ton0 | -_- | 23:08 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: I've done it. It checks it for a second, then reverts to win7 | 23:08 |
| joeoshawa | i made a great kids computer with a dell t500 and debian with fluxbox and rox | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | jc-denton: you come here; we tell you about your evil ways. you change your bios settings and everything works ;) for the better | 23:08 |
| jc-denton | erUSUL: I mean they could at least write it somewhere, if they don't wnat to support it | 23:09 |
| kbp | I got this weird problem. Whenever I connect to a network, the /etc/resolve.conf changes, but when I connect to home network it doesn't. And I have to manually edit the file to nameserver 192.168.0.1. Anyone know how to solve? | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | jc-denton: to be fair it should support the ide mode too; somethimes you need to pass the all-generic-ide boot option | 23:09 |
| ledah | if it doesn't autostart maybe the usb have an issue or maybe the live cd, how do you create the usb? | 23:09 |
| joeoshawa | incidentally if anyone knows how to find a fried resistor in a crt monitor my 4 year old would love you for ever | 23:10 |

| dascapital_ | alright thanks | 23:11 |
| Blue1 | ereotav: whatever you want - but the default is ext4 | 23:11 |

| joeoshawa | jc-denton: yes | 23:12 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: I'm using a mac os x laptop to create the USB drive. I used hdiutil to convert it to an img then dd to copy it to the drive | 23:12 |
| joeoshawa | jc-denton: especially for suspend | 23:12 |
| dascapital_ | so can anyone help me connect to the internet | 23:12 |
| jc-denton | so why can't I define a mountpoint for swap in the ubuntu instlal thing | 23:12 |
| erUSUL | jc-denton: swap does not have a mont point | 23:12 |
| strigoi_66 | dascapital_: What seems to be the problem? | 23:13 |
| dascapital_ | it wont connect | 23:13 |
| dascapital_ | even if i plug in the ethernet cable | 23:13 |
| dascapital_ | doesnt show any networks | 23:13 |
| dascapital_ | i can get internet when i boot into windows though | 23:13 |
| strigoi_66 | dascapital_: Are you on a router? | 23:13 |
| dascapital_ | yes | 23:13 |
| dascapital_ | do you think it would work if i just removed the router | 23:14 |
| ubentobox | can anyone here help me figure out why a file is downloadable only by half the people who click it? | 23:14 |
| dascapital_ | and plugged it directly into the phone line | 23:14 |

| saganbyte | Hi | 23:14 |
| szhou3 | physics | 23:15 |
| strigoi_66 | dascapital_: You could try but maybe just reset the router and modem so that it can refresh the ip address! | 23:15 |
| dascapital_ | how do i test if it can see it | 23:15 |
| dascapital_ | i did try to reset | 23:15 |
| saganbyte | Is there someway I can downgrade a program (libjpeg62) | 23:15 |
| dascapital_ | fuck | 23:15 |
| saganbyte | or even just remove it... though while trying to remove it, synaptic shows a whole lot os stuff that ll get removed with it | 23:15 |

| gmg | I need advice on a advance power managment program to control USB ports while a laptop is in suspend mode....Any Ideas? | 23:16 |
| gibbster | Hey guys. Really weird problem: my password works for sudo, but not for the software center. What's going on? | 23:16 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: htiutil is basically just a disk manipulation utility. I just used it to convert the .iso to a .img | 23:16 |
| strigoi_66 | dascapital_: did you power off the router and the modem | 23:16 |
| dascapital_ | no | 23:16 |
| ubentobox | yeah brontoeee? | 23:16 |
| dascapital_ | i guess ill try that | 23:17 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: Is there a good way to verify the validity of the usb drive? | 23:17 |
| brontoeee | something about user mime types | 23:17 |
| realmatt | I am having difficulty getting nfs to mount when I reboot. I have configured /etc/fstab but no dice. | 23:17 |
| joeoshawa | dascapital you should have a listing under system network tools that says loopback interface (lo) then if you hit the arrow it should list one that says something like ethernet interface (eth0) | 23:17 |
| ubentobox | you think that would cost it? | 23:17 |
| ubentobox | err causse | 23:17 |
| realmatt | also I can mount using sudo mount -a after the machine boots with no problems | 23:17 |
| sacarlson | dascapital_: did you try in a terminal ifconfig | 23:17 |
| m2mg | dascapital_: dont feel bad i have a laptop that if i boot XP then ubuntu i have no Internet but if i unplug it for 2 min's then boot Ubuntu i get Internet something about my network card in that laptop | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | realmatt: mount is attemped before network is accesible ? | 23:18 |
| joeoshawa | if i reboot i have to log in wait log out then log in again | 23:18 |
| realmatt | erUSUL: that is what I am thinking. I have the _netdev option in fstab but still nothing | 23:19 |
| joeoshawa | then i have internet | 23:19 |
| dascapital__ | i tried turning off and on the router | 23:19 |
| dascapital__ | didnt work | 23:19 |
| joeoshawa | i think its the router | 23:19 |
| gmg | I need a advance power managment program for laptops to manage USB port...Any help | 23:19 |
| dascapital__ | the router works fine i get perfect internet on windows and os x | 23:19 |
| joeoshawa | dascapital: do you have two machines | 23:19 |
| erUSUL | realmatt: use autofs? | 23:20 |
| dascapital__ | yes im typing on a desktop | 23:20 |
| ledah | clarkfischer: fsck is the only one i can think right now | 23:20 |
| erUSUL | !autofs | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs | 23:20 |
| dascapital__ | can not connect from laptop | 23:20 |
| joeoshawa | dascapital__: sorry the router comment was about my router | 23:20 |

| dascapital__ | oh ok | 23:20 |

| biiter | hello. what is the difference between ubuntu for dekstop and ubuntu for laptops? (except the gui environment) | 23:21 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: That will verify that the filesystem isn't corrupt, but it won't necessarily verify that the data on the USB drive is 100% what I downloaded, correct? | 23:21 |

| Israfel-Laptop | joeoshawa, Might want to just try restarting Netword Manager rather than logging in and out. | 23:22 |
| ubentobox | cat ran over keyboard | 23:22 |

| joeoshawa | lol i forget the command | 23:22 |
| yann2 | hello! my clock widget displays "12:22 AM" - not sure but I tend to think that it's not very appropriate, I'd understand 00:22 AM better. Bug or just me? | 23:23 |
| joeoshawa | didn't think about it till now | 23:23 |
| clarkfischer | ledah: I don't know. It won't boot, so my first instinct is that something is corrupted. I downloaded the legitimate iso from ubuntu.com/netbook | 23:23 |
| Israfel-Laptop | joeoshawa, Or, where it says "Available to all users" check might work. | 23:23 |
| joeoshawa | what is the command i will put a widget up top | 23:23 |

| erUSUL | dascapital__: the ones « lspci | grep -i net » returned | 23:30 |
| joeoshawa | i asked that they are dense | 23:31 |
| KM0201 | joeoshawa: very few places support linux, so if you're the type to call tech support for anything, linux is not for you. | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | m_fulder: some filesystem corruption? passed a fsck ¿? | 23:31 |

| Israfel-Laptop | suigeneris, So what's the message when you try to install/update it? | 23:34 |
| iiDesigns | suigerneris are you doing any virtual machines on the unit | 23:34 |
| dascapital__ | erUSUL_: gimme a sec | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | m_fulder: you have to do it from a livecd or do a « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot | 23:34 |
| fumblnoob | m_fulder: do not fsck a live filesystem | 23:34 |
| bobobo | peraphs | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | m_fulder: no do not do it with the fs mounted | 23:34 |

| chiking | What the hell is wrong with the ubuntu forums? Its refreshing like 10 times a second when you make a new thread... | 23:37 |
| gibbster | bobobo: no sorry. not something I particularly care about | 23:37 |
| bazhang | chiking, ask in #ubuntuforums | 23:37 |

| jc-denton | how do I stop gdm with upstart? | 23:39 |
| dascapital__ | erUSUL_: just says could not resolve security.ubuntu.com | 23:39 |
| joeoshawa | may just plug and play now who knows | 23:39 |
| jc-denton | upstop gdm> | 23:40 |
| jc-denton | upstop gdm? | 23:40 |
| dascapital__ | erUSUL_: for everything it tries to do | 23:40 |
| jrib | jc-denton: if you read /etc/init/gdm.conf it will educate you :) (add "text" to your kernel line in grub) | 23:40 |
| jc-denton | saw it | 23:40 |
| suraj | jc-denton, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:40 |
| jc-denton | thx | 23:40 |
| jc-denton | suraj: no | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | m_fulder: sdb is the whole disk you should use the partition sdb1 or sdb2 or whatever it is | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | lolcat: Sorry, I explained poorly and it looks like there is an easier way than even that. This video shows how to do it: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ | 23:40 |
| jrib | jc-denton: sorry, what I said assumed you wanted to know how to stop if from starting automatically at boot. If you just want to stop it now, you can do: sudo stop gdm | 23:41 |
| suraj | jc-denton, what exactly you want to do then? | 23:41 |
| jc-denton | install nv dev driver | 23:41 |
| lolcat | Jordan_U: That is fedora! | 23:41 |
| m_fulder | erUSUL, then this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/FbHb1TSm which I guess is good news | 23:41 |
| madprof | I'm wanting to start C++ what libs, program/s would i need? | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | lolcat: It works exactly the same way in Ubuntu. Both use network-manager. | 23:42 |

| ClifFoo | any suggestions for fixing / downgrading ati drivers? When I finished my fresh mav-install ATI card worked a treat... now, gnome, X and the ATI card are all not working properly | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | m_fulder: dunno; you can force the fsck in a clean fs passingm -f tp fsck | 23:43 |
| sacarlson | dascapital__: maybe try in a terminal sudo modprobe atl1c | 23:43 |
| ClifFoo | I've trawled the forums already, but fiddling with metacity and x11-config isn't much use | 23:43 |
| dascapital__ | sacarlson_: we already tried that | 23:44 |
| lolcat | Jordan_U: I am pretty sure that stuff don't work... | 23:44 |
| goddard | It wont let me open nautilus as another user | 23:44 |
| joeoshawa | ack ati noooooo | 23:44 |

| chiking | Anyone know why a new Ubuntu 10.10 installation CD would cause this on a laptop? --- http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1448/dsc01807q.jpg | 23:44 |
| suraj | goddard, what was the error? | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | lolcat: I did it just last week. | 23:44 |
| ClifFoo | All I have is a background, and any mounted drives are 'listed' on the desktop. no menus, mouse occasionally fails and the only keyboard shortcuts avail are for the terminal and the file-explorer | 23:44 |
| goddard | I tried gksudo -u username nautilus | 23:44 |
| goddard | and it appears to work but nothing happens | 23:45 |
| suraj | goddard, there is another way, try "ssh username@localhost -X" without quotes | 23:45 |
| goddard | then i tried su - username | 23:45 |
| goddard | and that didn't work | 23:45 |
| lolcat | Jordan_U: My network manager doesn't do anything apparently... | 23:45 |
| charas | VPS problem: I created a new user on my Ubuntu VPS. Now when I enter "who" it only shows "root" user. | 23:45 |
| ClifFoo | I'm coping with a terminal and my notes, but my workflow is seriously restricted | 23:45 |
| joeoshawa | my ex's dell did that | 23:45 |
| ClifFoo | !ati | 23:45 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:45 |
| goddard | says no protocol specific | 23:45 |
| joeoshawa | try 10.04 | 23:45 |
| joeoshawa | then upgrade | 23:45 |
| ClifFoo | hmm | 23:45 |
| chiking | Are you talking to me joe? | 23:45 |
| lolcat | Bah, it wants a distrubution upgrade wich doesn't work | 23:46 |
| joeoshawa | yeah sorry | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | lolcat: The icon doesn't exist in the pannel? It's frozen? What do you mean by "doesn't do anything"? | 23:46 |
| jpsman | what is the terminal command to run after a program to have it run outside of the terminal emulator? | 23:46 |
| ClifFoo | and I've already done a make-install effort for the binary ati drivers | 23:46 |
| chiking | I did that originally and it killed my WiFi drivers | 23:46 |
| jrib | jpsman: disown | 23:46 |
| lolcat | Jordan_U: I can open the menu where I select things from nm-applet, but clicking on anything doesn't do anything | 23:46 |
| ClifFoo | jpsman: using & after a command delegates it to 'background' | 23:46 |
| suraj | goddard, sorry, you have to change the username with the real username which is exist in you computer... for example if i have a user name suraj I will type " su - suraj" | 23:46 |
| chiking | So i figured I'd use 10.10 directly | 23:46 |
| jpsman | jrib, ClifFoo danke | 23:46 |
| ClifFoo | which leaves your terminal relatively free most of the time | 23:46 |
| erUSUL | jpsman: nohup command & or command & disown $! | 23:47 |
| erUSUL | jpsman: or use screen/tmux | 23:47 |
| jc-denton | do u guys acctually like the default ubuntu theme? | 23:47 |
| erUSUL | !screen | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 23:47 |

| m_fulder | erUSUL, I removed them from trash aswell | 23:48 |
| charas | VPS problem: I created a new user on my Ubuntu VPS. Now when I enter "who" it only shows "root" user. What happened to my newly created user? | 23:48 |

| jrib | charas: did you login as the new user? | 23:49 |
| piercedw_ | ok | 23:49 |

| piercedw_ | erUSUL: do u know the name of the package? | 23:50 |
| erUSUL | charas: ouch jrib already told you as much ... ;P | 23:50 |
| charas | erUSUL: Yeah I guess. I should login from the new user to make it "active" | 23:50 |
| lda17h | it seams parted_server crashes... | 23:50 |
| lda17h | and the install is stuck after pressing forward on the second screen | 23:50 |
| erUSUL | piercedw_: it will update automatically when you add the repo and use the update manager | 23:50 |
| joeoshawa | chiking: what laptop model exactly | 23:51 |
| piercedw_ | It said it will deactivate if I update Ubuntu though | 23:51 |
| m2mg | dascapital_: the lspci is only going to show your hardware info | 23:51 |
| erUSUL | piercedw_: it is libavcodec-extra-52 iirc | 23:51 |
