Dakravwho could help me with Evolution mail?00:00
SnakkahI will say this though: I intentionally neglected activating the proprietary ATI driver, coldfront00:00
SnakkahShould I activate it?00:00
coldfronti would give it a try snakkah see if it fixes the problem00:00

tommylommykinshi, I'm having trouble setting the virtual resolution high enough to accommodate both of my screens. gnome-display-properties suggests it can resize it for me, but fails. Is there any other way I can do this?00:07

solexiousWhat version will be the next LTS?00:08
rww!latest00:08
ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.00:08
rwwsolexious: 12.0400:08
alkcoldfront: it actually worked :) I saw that page before but was too afraid to try it :P00:08
soreau! lts | solexious00:08
ubottusolexious: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04)00:08
Snakkahcoldfront, okay. Where should I put it then?00:08

aeaI have a fairly stupid question, I've just installed Ubuntu on my new machine, and after install drivers (or possibly performing a system update, I didn't restart in between) the style of the top panel, bottom panel, and windows (and plenty of icons) has changed into an ugly boxy white style (I have 10.10). How do I revert to the original style I had when I first installed?00:10
soreauaea: sys>prefs>appearance00:10
aeaI'm in that, and "Ambiance" is selected, the windows retain the same look, the panels don't.00:11
aeaThe look of all the icons on them has changed as well, would a screenshot help?00:11
soreauaea: "and after install drivers (or possibly performing a system update, I didn't restart in between)" <-- how exactly did you do accomplish this?00:11

SnakkahI had that happen to me awhile back.00:12
billybetter keep that a secret - imagine if Windows XP could only use packages released prior to 2001!00:12
soreauaea: Yea did you even try restarting (X)?00:12
aeaSorry, this happened after a restart and me doing those two things.00:13
aeaLogout / login didn't work, let me try the command,00:13
almoxarifeDakrav: either will require authentication00:13

sayusephhello? i have a question with installation for Ubuntu Netbook Ed.00:13
Dakravalmoxarife: but both will work?00:13
billyno wonder I'm stuck with stuff 10 versions out of date!!!00:14
aeaI'm not quite certain what you're asking, I used the restricted drivers setting + ubuntu software update (I don't think I did anything special)00:14
soreau! ask | sayuseph00:14

fluvvellLifeEscalade, what happens if you nmap your ip address, does it show port 5900 open ?00:14
soreauaea: If you run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' in your terminal, does it complete without errors?00:14
almoxarifeDakrav: yes, unless you mean at the same time, I don't think both pop and imap can be run at the same time, according to the google setup00:14
sayusephooh ok. Then I'll start. Ubuntu is not letting me click "Forward" at the Who Are You? portion, even though everything is filled out.00:14
Dakravalmoxarife: but will SMTP work for sending mail?00:15
almoxarifeDakrav: of course00:15

barfYou should copy all files on the volume ASAP01:36
jribscorp007: upstart is event driven (go ahead and read /etc/init/mythtv-backend) so you can tell it what events need to be emitted before it tries to start.  Of course, this should just work though.  Before we spend some time investigating, have you searched bugs.ubuntu.com for relevant bugs?01:36

sambagirlxheh01:41
x20twelvei already did. plugins got installed. i didnt see it in ccsm, so im gonna restart and check back with yu.....01:41
bazhangdone365, if you had it working perhaps better to fix the issue with vlc01:41
Gigabyteyes this is on vmware on full sreen01:42
sambagirlxyou have to explain the situation Gigabyte01:42
GigabyteWarning! Failed to move file.01:42
corrytonappleGigabyte :Full screen would not change anything.  I do not really understand.  Where are you trying to install this plugin?01:42

jribscorp007: check your logs for the same errors: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/60940201:43
sambagirlxGigabyte that doesnt tell me a thing :)01:43
done365@bazhang I agree but I believe that it was a couple of version ago that I last used it.  So I have no idea where to start.  ivtv says that the stream is established at video24, but tuning vlc to that I get nothing, which is better than the static I got before01:43

sambagirlxok so it works01:45
bazhangdone365, okay, so its been a while. did you want to check for bugs with vlc, or try the mythbuntu approach01:45

sambagirlx:)01:45
scorp007jrib, well, for info, the errors in my mythbackend.log looks like http://codepad.org/rqjoLzWO01:45

id10tAnyone offer advice, I am trying to find a solution my bittorrenting problem. I have tried transmission and Deluge, they both continually fill up my memory in cache until the system is unusable... Any ideas, maybe a new program?01:45

sambagirlxgigabyte01:45
corrytonappleGigabyte Please do what sambagirlx said. That must be a good forum01:45
jribscorp007: seems like it can't connect to mysql, right?01:45
sambagirlx#joomla is great01:45
scorp007jrib, but yes, that too01:45
jribscorp007: what version of ubuntu?01:46
scorp007jrib, 10.401:46
sambagirlxto be honest gigabyte i think that wordpress is much easier to work with01:46
a3ther_id10t, how much ram do you have?01:46
done365@bazhang how resource heavy would it be to use the mythbuntu desktop, will it run on my reg desktop and will I still be able to multi task?01:46
sambagirlxgigabyte more robust too01:46
scorp007jrib, I was concerned more with the dvb card failing though -- and fixing everything including mysql with a restart of the service01:46
scorp007but they're all probably related.01:46
Gigabytethe problem is not in joomla..Warning! Failed to move file....is it bechose this is protectes or something idk :/01:47
Gigabyte*protected01:47
jribscorp007: yeah, then you likely suffer from bug #609402.  What's the version the "mythtv" package you have installed?  Might the dvb card failing be related to mysql?  I don't know.  But at least the mysql issue I have some clue on :P01:47
corrytonappleGigabyte It is permissions issues then01:48
bazhangdone365, pretty much the same as generic mythtv requirements, how much ram would of course be an issue, as well as hdd size, as mythtv is a PVR (like tivo)01:48
sambagirlxgigabyte you might have to change the permissions01:48
scorp007jrib, what's the command to tell the package version?01:48
jribscorp007: apt-cache policy PACKAGE01:49
sambagirlxgigabyte you know chmod stuff01:49

sambagirlxunless you just have requirement for joomla01:50
done365@bazhang I am getting mythbuntu now any special setup or config I should be aware of in order to get the card working01:50

corrytonappleExcept, for their product01:50
sambagirlxtype /join #joomla01:51

sambagirlxthat is the channel for superior joomla support01:51
corrytonappleThat is a strange message, above these three01:51
bazhangdone365, I'm not really able to answer that apart from reading the documentation, as I don't have an hauppage card01:52
sambagirlxyou mean wazzup corrytonapple?01:52
corrytonappleYes01:52
corrytonappleJust very long,that is all01:52
jribscorp007: yeah, I'd at least try to grab the changes in the upstart script made since then01:52
scorp007jrib, heh, is that possible without a distro upgrade?01:52
jribscorp007: sure, grab the package from packages.ubuntu.com (for example), extract it, read the upstart script, make sure changes are sane for your version, update your upstart script01:53
scorp007oh, just manually hacking the file?01:53
jribscorp007: sure, it's in /etc/01:54
jribscorp007: if you prefer, rebuild the source package from maverick01:54
x20twelve<---Slacker---ok im back, additional items were added to my ccsm01:54
scorp007would it perhaps be easier to upgrade the package in its entirety?01:54
jribscorp007: I'd say just fixing the upstart script is easier01:55

bastidrazorid10t: transmission01:55
aeon-ltdid10t: rtorrent,01:55
edbianid10t, That's called a memory leak.  Try using an older version of the same program01:56
scorp007jrib, I'll try that -- just have a feeling it may depend on other new things in the new version...01:56
id10tbastidrazor: tried the installed version of transmission and its crashing my comp with memory leak01:56
id10tedbian: how can I revert to an older version?01:56
bastidrazorid10t: i've had it running for 3 days. no leaks01:56
scorp007jrib, so would I get one of these files? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/2:0.24.0+fixes.20101214.1405782-0ubuntu101:57
edbianid10t, You can use synaptic to install the package.  Just right click on it and choose properties or something.  There is some gui way of forcing an older version which is much easier01:57
id10tthe problem could be that I am trying to torrent between hard drives...01:57
scorp007they don't look like .deb files to me.01:57
edbianid10t, (easier than the cli method)01:57
id10tedbian: thanks I will give it a shot01:57
jribscorp007: I would just use packages.ubuntu.com and grab the maverick one.  You don't want the .deb, you want the source package01:58

aeon-ltdGigabyte: that may be under #c++02:02

jribscorp007: no, but that will get you the rest of them too02:03

jribscorp007: that's one of the files you need, you need the three listed in the right column under "source package" (thus why using dget makes it easier :))02:05
scorp007jrib, oh. I tried sudo apt-get install dget, but no such package.02:05
jribscorp007: it's in the devscripts package02:05
scorp007but why do I need all three files if I just want to inspect the upstart script?02:05
scorp007oh, thanks02:06
jribscorp007: well, that way you can do dpkg-source -x and have a folder with everything in it.  The actual data you want is in the debian directory.  I guess you can just grab the debian.tar.gz if you want02:07
scorp007oh ok02:07
scorp007looks like that tgz has only changes since the .orig file02:08
scorp007ok, well, it's going to take a while to download -- going really slow. I'll let you know when it's done.02:09

gurkhali69sacarlson: ya because i have only one nic now...named eth3.....but during installation it was...eth202:47
klyncclavin12: `apt-get purge pkg` should do it02:47
a3ther_klync, do you mean for windows? i think there is a flag in the hardware that tells windows if it should use autorun.inf, also this can be disabled on the windows machine, apart from that try copying a regular autorun.inf and editing the lines in it to point to the correct exe/icon. also this channel isnt for windows support ;)02:47
klyncclavin12: although i don't know if that will run pre/post scripts if the pkg isn't installed correctly02:48
sacarlsongurkhali69: you should be able to just plug a cable into it and maybe sudo dhclient eth3  should start to work unless you want to setup something static02:48

klyncclavin12: i'm not sure why it didn't - should've been called on post-install to do so ... i suppose if the install didn't go correctly, then the uninstall would fail on that step, but if the install worked, you could probably get that uninstall to work without error by running defoma by hand (not sure off the top of my head, maybe with "dpkg-reconfigure defoma"?)03:00

edbian!sudo | induz03:31
ubottuinduz: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo03:31
transDo I need to install additional packages for microphone to work, plz help03:31
a3ther_induz, if you precede the copy command with 'sudo' it should work.03:32
klyncnathanspohn: sounds like one of many wifi cards that don't work all too well under linux. you might want to play around with the cmds using iwconfig and iwpriv (such as turning off powersaving). once you find the most stable settings for it, you can save them in your networking startup script03:32

gaofengmy name is gaofeng!03:40
Jordan_Ukmc: Do you need help fixing it?03:41
gaofengCHINA03:41
edbianezy, The tags are stored in the file along with the data for the music and such.  Usually when you add a song to a music player like banshee or something it makes a data-base entry for the song.  At that time the ID3 tags are read.  If they're changed later it never notices cause it only looks one03:41
trismezy: if you're using the python-id3 package, it only supports id3 1.1, your file likely has only version 2 tags03:41

frosteroso i figured i would test some heads here and see if someone had better options07:41
superlinkxOk. I will try that as well, but I'm thinking it may be a ubuntu issue. Actually, I believe it has something to do with video drivers, as that's what people have mentioned so far. I've seen a couple kinds of crashes, usually involving the GUI to turn off and either errors to display or just a black screen and frozen white cursor. I have a Radeon HD 4650 and I have heard there may be driver issues in the newer kernels, but I can't s07:41

col0ursacarlson, what is rfkill/08:37
frosterossokolow_: you wanna cache several hundred gigs?08:37
Dr_Willisssokolow_:  install the apt-cacher-ng program on one box on the lan. and let it cache the pacakges for the rest of the lan.08:37
Dr_Willisssokolow_:  as for cacheing othe rthings.. theres  a few http/web cachers out there. but i dont use those.08:38

ssokolow_All that's really left is to lock down BitTorrent to a single shared WebUI for the house, decide on an FTP cache, thank my ISP for capping to 64kbit once overage kicks in so I never pay more than the rounded-up $1.90 for the first overage gig, and design an "inverse BitTorrent" to make SneakerNet a viable mitigation option.08:40
motzno08:40
Dr_Willismotz:  sounds like you are either having some hardware issues, or currupted files when you installed.08:40

ikoniaDr_Willis: #freenode is the place, but yes08:56
Dr_Willistehbaut:  ive noticed issues with that and some systems. it depends on jhow they eject the disk. some laptops have issues ive found where they cant prtoperly eject. so they get confused when a new disk is inserted.08:56

Dementiofinally09:01
MrMintanetI am presently on an old machine that I haven't used in a while.  10.10 is installed on it... (continuing)09:01
MrMintanetI wanted to know how the disk drives were setup09:02
Dr_WillisDementio:  Huh? :) what was it.09:02
Dementioi honestly don't know09:02
MrMintanetI went to disk utility and it shows I have two 1TB drives09:02
Dr_WillisMrMintanet:  'sudo fdisk -l' to see their layout.09:02
Dr_Willisor gparted. or that disk utility can show. but i tend to use fdisk -l, or gparted.09:02
MrMintanetWell, my question was-  How can I setup uTorrent to download to either disk, because when I go to "Computer", I see nothing but "file sysetem" and the optical drive.09:02
Dementioi installed gnone-desktop, and an alsa update, and then there was a pulseaudio update09:03
assurbanipalhi guys. I need to find a way to convert dicom video files to something more compatible... is this possible under ubuntu?would definatelly prefere a gui thingy!!tnxz in advance!!09:03
Dementioso who knows09:03
Dementioall i know is i finally have 5.1 in mkv's and dvd09:03
Dr_WillisMrMintanet:  you tell the torrent to dowload to a directory. are you saying you dont understand the filesystem layout and mountpoints of all the disks on the system? The mount command will show whats mounted where.09:03
MrMintanetWell, that was my question, I'm not sure how to test if this is a raid or not09:03
Dementionow just hope it'll all work when i switch it to a blu-ray drive monday09:03
Dr_WillisMrMintanet:  its possible the filesystems on the other disks are not mounted anywhere.09:03
MrMintanetMay I copy/paste the results from sudo fdisk -l?  If so, what is the link to do that?\09:04

sacarlsoncol0ur: I don't know what driver you had that worked so a look at the blacklist will give you a clue09:11
ikoniabullgard4: yes, but the gparted project on sourceforge is not run from the ubuntu livecd09:11
llutz_Dr_Willis: ~ == $HOME09:11
Jordan_Ubullgard4: Ubuntu's liveCD logs you in as user "ubuntu". GParted's logs you in as root.09:11
col0urok09:11
azlobo0MrMintanet: just guessing at layout, but try fdisk -l /dev/sdb09:11
Dr_Willisllutz_:  which is the guys current dir at the time. :) so yes..09:11
Dr_Willisbullgard4:  the last character # vs $ is also commonly used to indicate a 'root' shell vs a normal users shell.09:12

Dr_Willisactually i got a usb flash drive also set up with all 3 (and more) on it.09:14

Dr_WillisDosent everyone have a little toolbox, with screwdrivers, parts, and spare system disks..? :)09:14
col0urDr_Willis, not as many as should09:15
java_Yes.09:15

java_If you don't your failing computers 101. The difference is what's IN the toolbox.09:16

MrMintanetIt's just a separate drive09:33
bullgard4I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.ubuntu.com/560143). But the sector number was different each time. --  How to proceed?09:33
ikoniayondering: looking at the support drivers page there are not drivers in the 10.10 nvidia package, although I'm not certain.09:33
MrMintanetOk, so next question-  How do I get this spare drive to mount on every startup?09:33

MrDudleyou can't help those who don't want to be helped09:39

Dr_Willisskilz_:  your ssh keys have changed for some reason.09:42
Gneaikonia: sorry, it just gets on my nerves how inconsiderate some people can be at times09:42
java_IPcheck?09:42
ikoniaskilz_: looks like the box at the other end has either changed (differnt box/rebuild) or had it's keys re-generated09:42
Dr_Willisskilz_:  this is on a local lan? over the internet?09:42
skilz_local lan09:42
skilz_I just installed ubuntu on it and installed the package 'ssh'09:43
Dciteskilz_: Is it re-using an IP from earlier?09:43
homeпривет09:43
skilz_hmm, I used to have a different box using the same ip address, could that be the prob?09:43
skilz_yes09:43

ubottuhome: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке  / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke09:43

ArtVandalaeHi guys, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, i386, Intel sound (so drivers should be pretty sweet). And every X number of days of uptime, my sound stops working. I kill pulseaudio, but that does not fix it. Can anyone help me get to the root of this issue? i.e. Is there any other services that I can reset (other than a full system reboot)?09:43
motzfrostero, I started ubuntu in "try mode", from cd and it works perfectly. What does that mean?09:43
skilz_Dr_Willis, do I do that on this box or the one I can't ssh to?09:44
Dr_Willisskilz_:  your local box keeps a cache of known hosts.. thats the one sending you the warning.09:44
skilz_ah k09:44
skilz_Dr_Willis, what do I change? its one BIG LONG line of jibberish09:45
Dr_Willisskilz_:  thers  one line for each host you have sshed to..09:46
Dciteskilz_: It should have given you some sort of line number with the warning.09:46
Dr_Willisif theres just 1 line for one host.. delete the line then09:46
yonderingskilz_, iirc.. delete the entire line, save the file, and try to shell into the other box again.09:46
skilz_what about if I just rm the file?09:46
yonderingskilz_, that'll work too.09:46
DciteDr_Willis: As for more recent versions I don't think raw ip/addresses are shown anymore.09:46
tehbautfor some reason, I can't delete a certain partition (HFS+ formatted) in Disk Utility, even though I have hfsprogs installed... any idea why, or how to get it to delete?09:47
Dr_Willisskilz_:  hats another way09:47
Dciteskilz_: rm would work, but it's a poor security choice normally.09:47
Dr_Willistehbaut:  try gparted.09:47
Gigabytehy09:48
skilz_ok awesome, problem solved, thanks guys but one more problem I do have, hmm yessss09:48
Dr_WillisI wouldent think hfsprogs would be needed to delete a hfs partition.09:48
DrummerBoy38it is not just up to me. it is up to them. they are the owners. they will decide if it will function. there are thousand and thousands of other people who have had contact like me and it continue to this day.09:48

ikoniaa partition is just a partition, the file system doesn't matter09:48
tehbautDr_Willis: gparted always crashes because the disk contains partially copied partitions... but this partition I'm trying to delete is whole09:48
Dr_Willistehbaut:  theres always the fdisk command i guess..09:49
ikoniaDrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug09:49
Gigabytehey i have problem with changing language09:49
Gigabyte:/09:49
Dr_Willisskilz_:  you may need to install some of the various samba pacakges on  the pc's some may be missing.09:49
DrummerBoy38ikonia, I think I have narrowed it down to about 1 cause09:49
ikoniaDrummerBoy38: no, have you logged a bug09:50
Dr_Willisskilz_:  make a share on pc1,. add see if pc1 can see its own shares.09:50
DrummerBoy38what are you saying09:50
ikoniaDrummerBoy38: I'm saying "have you logged a bug against xchat"09:50

takoyliswith ubuntu 10.10 64bit09:51
Dr_Willistehbaut:  if you just want to delete things , fdisk isent too hard :)09:51
skilz_Dr_Willis, yes pc1 can see its own shares09:51
Dr_Willisskilz_:  you can also try entering the full path to the shares on the pc's using the ip# instead of the hostname. that may get it working.09:52
Dr_Willis ie:  smb://192.168.1.100/sharename09:52
skilz_ok09:52
skilz_hey whats that console chat application called09:52
Dr_Willisskilz_:  i use weechat for the console irc client. theres irssi, and others.09:53
llutz_skilz_: irssi, weechat09:53
skilz_you install it on a box and you ssh to it and can chat with each other, used it back in the day can't remember the name09:53

motzDr_Willis, it crashes, i get a blank screen and I just can resete09:57
ikoniabullgard4: that paste is useless, it's just html09:58
Dr_Willismotz:  but a live cd works?09:59
Dr_Willisbullgard4:  io errors coming from HDs are  not a good sign.. You do have backups of anything imporntant?09:59
motzDr_Willis, you the "try mode" ?09:59
motzDr_Willis, yes, it works09:59
bullgard4ikonia: I do not understand why the paste is useless. Please elaborate.09:59
Dr_Willismotz:   thats odd.. it could be some files are messon the cd and you dont have the issue untill they get installed.  or some hd issue.10:00
bullgard4Dr_Willis: Yes, I do have a backup of /home10:00
ikoniaDr_Willis: based on the partition table I saw from bullgard4 yesterday, I suspect he's getting IO errors as he's probably trying to move an extended partition outside the bounds of the extended container, or something along those lines10:00
ikoniabullgard4: because the paste shows a lot of html code,10:00
Dr_Willismotz:  i would check the md5 of the cd. and perhaps put it on a flash drive. and try a reinstall.10:00
tehbautDr_Willis: well I was able to gparted via terminal, by doing gparted /dev/sdb3 ...and I was able to delete the partition, and now it shows as unallocated. However, the partition is still there, still mountable and still shows up in disk utility... this is ridiculous!10:00
Dr_Willistehbaut:  reboot.. the system is using the old patition tabke.10:01
bullgard4ikonia: The GParted program offers this file output format.10:01
Dr_Willistehbaut:  used to be fdisk would say a message aliong the lines 'Warning: system is using old partition table'10:01
ikoniabullgard4: that doesn't make it good - it's usless10:01

Lxshello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a hardware raid0, I had Windows 7 on it but grub doesn't show Windows 7 Loader and when I select Ubuntu it shows me BusyBox, what should I do please ?10:02
Dr_Willistehbaut:  you got some deeper issues then.   how about just 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' ?10:02
tehbautDr_Willis: after rebooting, I re-ran gparted /dev/sdb3 and it still shows as unallocated, so I've no idea what's up10:03
voozeHow can i check the filesystem on my external drive? i can check in properties on one of them (i have 2) but the new one (2TB WD, my book) i cant see what filesystem it uses.. any ideas?10:03
Guest43412Fkkkk10:03
Dr_Willistehbaut:  gparted on /dev/sdb should definatly not be crashing gparted.  Unless theres somthing very weird on the disk layout/partition table.10:03
Dr_Willisim suprised that gpar5ted /dev/sdb3 even worked..10:04
tehbautDr_Willis: I'm sure there is... I've been using dd to copy other partitions, and some only partially copied, and I may not have even copied the partition table at the front of the disk, so it probably created its own...10:05
* tehbaut shrugs10:05

Dr_Willisin fact.. gparted /dev/sdb3 would seem totally WRONG from what i just tried with it.10:05

edwardteachabhijain,  use  lsb_release -a   will tell you you ubuntu version10:06
Dr_Willistehbaut:   You may want to zero out the whole hd and repatition it from the beginning.10:06
tehbautDr_Willis: this is only a temporary stop on a data recovery adventure... so I'll get to that point eventually10:06
LxsWhat device should I choose for the bootloader installation ? /dev/sda ? /dev/mapper/.... Linux Device-mapper ? /dev/mapper... Windows 7 (loader) ?10:07
Dr_Willistehbaut:  using a disk partioning tool on a specicic partion. is not correct. :) for example 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb3' is basically going to print jibberish.  /dev/sdb should work10:07
abhijainedwardteach, ???10:08
bullgard4ikonia: I copied the GParted error output file to a USB stick, plugged the USB stick into another Ubuntu computer and Firefox could perfectly read the file in a well-formatted manner.10:08
Dr_Willisgparted may be a bit smarter. it seems to be at least.10:08
tehbautDr_Willis: well I can give you a backtrace of the errors when I try /dev/sdb... but I have no idea what they mean10:08
Dr_Willistehbaut:  i doubt if i know either.10:09
abhijeetis there anyway can i hibernate ubuntu ??10:09
AbhiJitDISCLAIMERp: do not confuse three of us! we three are different persosns10:09
Dr_Willistehbaut:  if you still have the orignal data. I would repartition the spare/problem hd. and rebackup10:09
abhijeetthere is no option at power button10:09
AbhiJitedwardteach, ^^^^10:09
bullgard4abhijYes.10:09
abhijeethow??10:09
tehbautDr_Willis: the original data is from a dead/dying hard drive, so no... I'd rather not do that ;)10:09
Dr_Willistehbaut:  how can yu even verify what you copied is good.. catch-22 situation.10:10
tehbautif only I could add another partition beyond the four already on there... I'd be okay, but I never created an extended partition, so until I delete this one, I'm stuck at the four10:10
Dr_Willistehbaut:  you may alwso want to try fsarchiver, or ddrescue or dd_rescue in the future. not normal 'dd'10:10
skilz_how to check what tty or pts a user is on?10:10
tehbautDr_Willis: yeah, that's ideally the next step in the process... but I'm getting there slowly, with lots of bottlenecks :\10:11
bullgard4abhijeet: One possibility: Grep help.ubuntu.com for "ACPI" and "Hibernate"10:11
tehbautDr_Willis: yeah, I used both dd and ddrescue... both failed to completely copy, and the drive got ridiculously slow... like 1kB/s transfer speeds10:12

motzDr_Willis, the md5 corresponds10:14
fakeerDr_Willis: I tried but the partition is being shown as unallocated. So it couldn't mount.10:14
Dr_Willisvooze:  clarify what you mean..  I have about 5 usb hds on here.10:14
tehbautDr_Willis: so do you know any way to tell what data might be partially missing/corrupted due to fragmentation beyond the copied threshold of the original partition, or due to data missed because of bad blocks not being copied over?10:15
Dr_Willisfakeer:  theres some tools out that can try to recover the  partiton tables.. but ive never used them. IF the data is still there in theory you could use gparted to set its type. and Just its type and not reformat it.. and it may work..10:15

Dr_Willisvooze:  'sudo fdisk -l' is one way. f its a new HD. its proberly NTFS10:15

fakeerDr_Willis: Could you please be more clear. And great if a few links/tuts you might be knwoing.10:16
Dr_Willismotz:  hard to tell. could be a hd issue. or memory issue. or some odd quirk in the drivers that got updated during install.10:16
MrMintanetI have a question, and I am certain it is not a "beginner" question.  Could someone help me, or have I worn out my welcome already?10:16

motzDr_Willis, what do you suggest me to do? should I give up?10:19
Dr_Willismotz:  try a 11.04 cd perhaps. this is a 'brand new' laptop ? you may want to check teh ubuntu forums. they often have more up to date things then what we know here.10:19
MrMintanetWhen I boot up my system, i have two brand new drives (one hooked up externally via eSATA and the other connected internally SATA) both on the same controller.  The drives pass smart tests and all diagnostics, however... when I boot my system, my boot haults and says that there is a critical error with my system, I can "Ignore" "Skip" or "Manually Repair" the problem.  I have added "dev/sdb1 /media/DATA ext4 defaults 0 1" to10:20
MrMintanetthe end of my /etc/fstab file so that these spare drives mount on startup.   Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?10:20
motzDr_Willis, where do I find a 11.04 cd?10:20
_java_I was reading a FAQ the other day, like I said, windows 7 supposedly rewrites the partition table during install. (I assume as an "F U" to the owner of the machine.)10:20
Dr_Willismotz:  it sould be ojn the ubuntu dowmnloads/torrents. or check topic in #ubuntu+110:21
Dr_Willis_java_:  it wouldent make sence for it to delete/modify existing partitions.  but you may want to ask for clarifiation in #windows ive never 'reinstalled' windows 7 yet.10:22

ohzieaaron11: I don't know what the battery/firefox thing could possibly be10:33
Dr_Willisfakeer:  Not really. I dont mess with windows7, so cant prove it did the damate. and i dont use that 'testdisk' app mentioned earlier.10:33
aaron11ohzie, Or atleast no error message. But only after this update i have this problem10:33
Dr_Willismotz:  all logs are normallin in /var/log/  and check out put of the 'dmesg' command10:33

v3traeContinued question. I assume ubuntu generates it's xorg.conf using the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, is that correct?10:36
aaron11ohzie, my system is acer aspire 4736z10:36
aaron11ohzie, the lspci, 1 sec10:36
Dr_Willisv3trae:  X auto configures for the most part these days. not even generating a xorg.conf10:37
sacarlsonv3trae: that file will only exist if you run propriatary video drivers or if you make custom mods to it10:37
aaron11ohzie,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/10:37
v3traeDr_Willis: well if one needed to make a manual change to the xorg configuration i'd imagine it would be done in these files10:37
ohzieI actually think that's the worst feature ever10:37
v3traeDr_Willis: suppose that's what i'm asking. I apologize10:37
ohzieI went to modify my xorg for my nvidia drivers and was like "Wait what"10:37
ohzie"where is it"10:37
ohzieand I freaked out and thought I'd done someting immensely stupid10:37
ohziesomething**10:38
Dr_Willismy nvidia systems have a minimal xorg.conf that basically enables twinview.10:38
ohzieI mean I love that xorg has advanced far enough to autoconfigure so well, but like...it could autogenerate an xorg conf. :P10:38
Dr_Willisohzie:  thats sort of self-defeating.10:39
Dr_Willisxorg.conf overrides the auto-configring last i checked.10:39
ohzieDr_Willis: It does10:39
aaron11ohzie, Did u get the link?10:40
ohzieaaron11: what link10:40
Dr_Willisv3trae:  if i need to make a change. you can put specific entries in a rather minimal xorg.conf file and they get merged/used i belive is how its donw.10:40

Dr_Willismotz:  fb0 is the framebuffer. which is not even used by default on ubuntu last i checked.10:41

voozeits like 8 hours for 25GB :(10:45
ohziecalvin: ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf file by default. :310:45
icefyreVooze:  this should only apply for copying files10:45
ohziecalvin: Hence the question.10:45
calvinit just uses default vesa10:46
icefyrevooze: just accessing files shouldn't be as much of a problem10:46
ohziecalvin: if I have an nvidia card it won't default to the 'nv' driver?10:46
Dr_Willisohzie:  the x log files can tell you that.10:46
sacarlsonohzie: I think sudo lshw will display what driver each device is using and if they use any at all10:46
voozeyeah okay, that was what i was afraid off.. I use the external harddrive for mediacenter.. = i copy files ALOT :(10:46

sariolakys_hi there, I am experiencing weird problems when trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from live cd on a new machine. After checking that my system has enough space, plugged to the el network and connected to internet I get to the place where I should be partitioning my disk and there is where the problem comes since I cannot do anything. Any tip?11:08
sacarlsonsplashote: you should have a line in /etc/apt/source.list like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib11:08
Dr_Willissariolakys_:  what os was on the 'new' machine in the first place?11:08
edwardteachBelkinUSB,  sounds like a permission problem ! have you edited the samba.conf file to allow access from remote client11:08
sariolakys_there is a Windows 7 on it. System had 2 partitions of 500GB each11:09
splashotesacarlson: but i'm using maverik and this is how it looks like:  deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib11:10
splashotesacarlson: so it's ok, isn't it?11:10

bullgard4I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.pocoo.org/show/329102/). But the sector number was different each time. --  How to proceed?11:10
Dr_Willissariolakys_:  i would double check that. (via sudo fdisk -l, from the live cd) - My Win7 box i got at xmas. had 4 Primary partitions..  this made it impoxxible to install ubuntu onto. Untill i did some hd-rearangeing.11:10
sariolakys_in the allocate/partitioning screen I see a table where I guess I should have my current partitions, labels, etc but that table is completely empty11:11
ikoniabullgard4: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"11:11
Dr_Willissariolakys_: You could resize (from within windows7) one of the HD's leaving part of the hd Unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocaed space.11:11

sariolakys_hmmm nice Dr_willis, I think I might be suffering from the same problem, yes, my HD was partitioned in 4 primary parts, so I have tried resizing from the live CD using Gtparted, removing one of the primary partitions and creating an extended there leaving some space unassigned. My problem is that it looks like the installer does not ask for any question regarding the partitioning I want, it is just showing that empty table by default. I th11:15
sariolakys_ink it should be asking if I want to manually edit the partitions, use the entire disk, etc, right?11:15

Dr_Willischristhecoolboy:  that url is also like 3+ yrs old..11:19
sariolakys_my problem is that I cannot tell the installer where I want the things to be because it does not show anything. I can see my partitions and their file system using GParted, but I see nothing in the installer. The only thing it says at the bottom is that my deviced for boat loader installation would be /dev/sda but in the table above it the table where I should see device, type, mounting point, etc is completely empty and the buttons below11:19

Gneauni4dfx: you don't.11:35

uni4dfxDr_Willis that's a very bad workaround since it's going to be overwritten each time there is a kernel update11:36
rumpe1Benkinooby, you have to be admin to do this11:36

ubuntu_1004is there a way to show the remaining hours when running on battery for Ubuntu 0buntu 10.04?12:22
ssszenithdk_-, I am now using Ubuntu through the LiveCD and I want to install it12:22
gunndawgjuetboyegirl, not saying 90% of the population uses linux12:23
jetboyjetgirlyeah I understand12:23
jetboyjetgirl90% of linux users12:23
gunndawgyes12:23
zenithdk_-sss: I just wanted to know if you were running Ubuntu, or were in Windows, you are in Ubuntu, right12:23
mongyMrMintanet, http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu12:23
jetboyjetgirlI asked because the ubuntu channels are so packed copared to other channels12:23
zenithdk_-so for the partitioning, have it create a 40GB partition for Ubuntu12:23
ssszenithdk_-, Right now I am chatting with you using Ubuntu12:23
gunndawgjetboyjeygirl, there is a lot you can do with ubuntu, if I showed you my desktop you would be blown away12:24
zenithdk_-so it just needs to resize your existing partition, which version of Ubuntu are you running? I thought newer installers assumed this by themselves12:24
barbadillohi all12:24
ssszenithdk_-, 10.10. I don't have an option to automatically install alongside current OS12:24
zenithdk_-I think if you run Wubi from Windows it should ask you that, to resize your existing partition12:25
jetboyjetgirlI bet gunndawg, I'm really impressed so far... it's too bad it took me this long the check linux out.12:25
barbadilloi'm not able to login to gnome after upgrade to 10.1012:25
zenithdk_-sss: ok, then just shrink your existing partition12:25
gunndawgjetboyjetgirl, enjoy the experience :)12:25
jetboyjetgirlI'm running windows 7/ ubuntu 10.10 and 90% of the time I've been using ubuntu now12:25
ssszenithdk_-,  I am not using Wubi! I am using the LiveCD12:25
coz_sss,   during th e  live cd installer partitioning options... there should be an options "slider"  to set the size for the ubuntu installation next to your other OS12:25
edwardteach!panel12:26
oCeanjetboyjetgirl: this channel is technical support, /join #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat12:26
sam-_-gunndawg: where did you read 90%?12:26
gunndawgjetboyjetgirl, I ran win7 and linux for a while then I got rid of win7 entirely to give my linux system more HDD space :)12:26
zenithdk_-rigth, but you mentioned Wubi at the start :P I think if you boot into Windows Wubi or something like it can be run from Windows to start the install also12:26
sam-_-gunndawg: i very much doubt that12:26
jetboyjetgirlok oCean, thanks12:26

ubottuTo reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »12:26
bazhanggunndawg, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please12:26
barbadilloi'm using linux since 2.2 kernel and this is the weirdest thing ever seen12:26
zenithdk_-but regardless, can you make out how to configure it to resize the partition?12:26

danst_Have anyone faced the strange issue with language switching: sometimes when you begin to type it automatically starts to change language after every typed symbol?12:27
zenithdk_-aaaarh, that is another issue, you can only have 4 primary partitions, you need to make an "extended" partition if I remember correctly12:27
barbadilloi need to complain with some official ubuntu people12:28
danst_I'm running 10.1012:28
Dr_Willissss:  4 primaries Max. One can be a Extended that holds logicals.12:28
bazhangbarbadillo, about what12:28
ssszenithdk_-, I heared I need to make an extended partition, but I have no idea how to12:28
barbadillobazhang, about i'm not able to login via gdm anymore12:28
Dr_Willissss:  if you have 4 primaries.. you will need to delete one. and remake it as an extended.12:28
GHHIs it not possible installing Nvidia Optimus driver?12:28
barbadilloi can login in tty12:29
codingenesissss you can extend partition using gparted12:29
jipsyim trying to mount my cdrom..typed in in terminal --mount /dev/cdrom and it gave me options..what to do next?12:29
zenithdk_-what do you have on the other partitions?12:29
sssDr_Willis, Imy sda2 is my window's D: drive and I don't use it so I don't mind deleting it12:29
codingenesissss: do it using a live cd. get gparted on a live disk12:29
Dr_Willisjipsy:  You need to give it more options.. :) thats not a complete command.12:29

solar_I got this error when start ktorrent on kubuntu. What does it mean and how to solve it?  -  "KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created.

Dr_Willissolar_:  since its a warning. I wouldent think that would stop ktorrent from working.12:30
ssscodingenesis, I am using the LiceCD and I have GParted, but I think I can also do without making an extended partition but overwriteing an existing one12:31
danst_bullgard4: are you logging into gnome session?12:31
barbadilloikonia, i googled for it, it seems a bug but no one is caring12:31
ikoniabarbadillo: has it ever worked ?12:31
zenithdk_-does anyone know how to re-add the "status" applet to the panel? I cannot change my status anymore, I think it crashed and went AWOL12:31
Dr_Willisbarbadillo:  if you stop the gdm service, then login as a user at the console. does 'startx' work?12:31
danst_bullgard4: oh sorry for mistyping12:31

codingenesisdo any one here can tell me about coverting linux binaries into win??12:33
Dr_Willisbarbadillo:  as a second test. try making a new user and se eif it works for them.12:33
barbadilloDr_Willis, my .dmrc is ok12:33
ikoniabullgard4: but they are logical so they are contained in /dev/sda2 so "allocated"12:33
Dr_Williscodingenesis:  short answer.. you dont? :) there are linux's that can run inside windows at the same time.12:33
barbadilloDr_Willis, also if i try with root it's the same12:33
ikoniabarbadillo: root won't let you login, so that's not a bug12:33

sssDr_Willis, If I convert my unused partition to an extended partition and then put in it two logical partitions for Ubuntu -- the next time I boot into windows will it know not to use that partition?12:34
codingenesisi know it's not possible .....but still my heart says some where it is possible12:34
sam-_-codingenesis: take a look at cygwin12:34
Dr_Willissss:  windows will ignore the partitions.. worst case.. if you try to access them from windows. it may ask to format them.12:34
codingenesiscygwin just does for limited application......12:35

ikoniacodingenesis: it's not possible, and it's offtopic for this channel12:35

barbadilloDr_Willis, the same with a brand new user12:35
Dr_Williscodingenesis:  andlinux (anlinux?) runs ubuntu inside a virtal machine.  you just see the Linux apps appear as windows apps :)12:35
ikoniabarbadillo: what version of ubuntu is this ?12:35
sssDr_Willis, I think I will first delete the unused partition (which is D: of Windows) and then check what will windows do when I boot to it12:35
Dr_Willissss:  if d: is not a boot partion.. then wdnows wont care. :)12:36
barbadilloikonia, 10.1012:36
codingenesisis cygwin able to run all the Dr Willis , whats the name of that linux?12:36
Dr_Willissince you are not booting it..12:36
sssDr_Willis, it isn't, so I will try it12:36
bullgard4ikonia: I admit that thery are within /dev/sda2. But: This is not important. /dev/sda6 is also there. Still, I manged to move it.12:36
barbadilloit happens just after the upgrade12:36
ikoniabullgard4: it is important, if you look at how the free space is laid out12:36
Dr_Williscodingenesis:  cygwin is 'weird' in ways.. there are ways to run ubuntu/linux in virtual machines. I used andlinux, or anlinux in the past. but there may be other ways12:36
Dr_Williscodingenesis:  or just use virtualbox and the disto you like.12:37
sssDr_Willis, Thank you, I'll try deleting it. Bye!12:37
bullgard4ikonia: /dev/sda2 allwed me to move partition sda6. So it should allow me to move the partition sda7 likewise.12:38

barbadilloikonia, if you google for "gdm login loop 10.10" you will find many people with this problem but no solutions at all12:38
ikoniabullgard4: I disagree due to how the space is laid out. It may not hurt to re-read the partition table if you have done resizing so gparted knows it's current status12:39
Dr_Willis!resetkde12:39
ikoniabarbadillo: google is not a bug report12:39
tehbautNo one knows what will happen if, when copying files in nautilus, there's an i/o read error caused by a bad sector/bad read? Will it retry those sectors, or what?12:39
ikoniabarbadillo: if you google "gdm working fine" you'll find many more people with no problem, so it's not a good reference12:39
Dr_Willistehbaut:  i think it tries for a few times.. but then gives up and spits out an error.12:39
zenithdk_-Dr_Willis: cheers, that worked, thanks!12:39

tehbautit's getting stuck on some possible bad blocks, but it's been picking up again after getting stuck a while12:40
Dr_Willistehbaut:  in theory yes. If you want to be extra-paranoid about it. You may want to use rsync, or fsarchiver, or some other copy tools that can verify12:40
tehbauthmmm, ok12:41
friesehi12:41
Dr_Willisbbl12:41

theadminbazhang: hm?13:35
bazhangtheadmin, how to kill the boot splash?13:35
ikoniasecurityxxxpert_: arp will have nothing to do with your dns or gateway13:35
ikoniasecurityxxxpert_: look at what your dns servers are set to and what your default gateway13:36
securityxxxpert_ikonia: location?13:36
theadminbazhang:  I added   nosplash noquiet  and instead of black scrolling text, after a moment I see  the blue background + white dots "Kubuntu"  splash thing (it is still in text mode, you can see some boot messages there occassionally and a text cursor)13:36
OlatheA_J: Yeah, but the newmode line goes first.13:36
RoDiMuS-XAnyone know of a Gmail Notifier that is not a screenlet?13:36
ikoniasecurityxxxpert_: /etc/resov.conf for your dns servers, netstat -rn for your default gateway13:36

A_Jxrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync13:36
A_Jxrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024_60.00"13:36
OlatheA_J: You should try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc13:37
OlatheA_J: Then, in that file, there should be a section that starts with #Add your own lines here...13:37
securityxxxpert_ikonia:  the gateway matches with the other config file you mentioned13:37
OlatheA_J: Put the newmode line right under that and the addmode line under the newmode line.13:37
OlatheA_J: Then, save.13:38
ikoniasecurityxxxpert_: so that means your gateway device is also acting as your dns server, is that what you'd expect ?13:38

linelevelHi. I've been reading threads about flushing the DNS cache in Ubuntu, and the consensus is that by default, Ubuntu does not keep a DNS cache. I don't understand this, because Chrome, Firefox, and the `dig` command-line tool all seem to use the same DNS cache. I'm still trying to figure out how to flush the cache used by `dig`. Can anyone help?15:50
SwitcherUSUL: thanks <315:50
erUSULxrdodrx: correct; that's what you wanted. now you can create new partitions as you see fit15:50
newbie112what is the difference between linuxhosting and windows hosting?15:50
Dr_Willistheadmin:  you want to run somthing befor the user logs in. can be done in rc.local. but as for that ASKING for any user input.. that might be harder.15:50
MasterOfDisasterlinelevel: dig doesn't cache...15:51
xrdodrxerUSUL» ok, thanks...yeah, I'm on a netbook so it takes a long time to format usually so I want to make sure I choose the right thing to avoid having to do it twice15:51
MasterOfDisasternewbie112: 2 different operating systems?15:51
edbianlinelevel, I can help.  When you dig it lists the server it got the result from (closest zone of course) if it lists 127.0.0.1 it was cached otherwise it was not cached on your machine15:51
sacarlsonlinelevel: well I use bind9 on my local system and I think that keeps a cache15:51
DThoughtnewbie112: well, in the one case its linux running on the server, in the other case its windows...15:51

newbie112difference for website owner*15:52
GaLaXY_newbie112: itś just a matter oof preference15:52
linelevelmasterOfDisaster: When I run `dig mydomain.com` it gives the old info, when I run `dig @my-domains-nameserver mydomain.com` it gives the new DNS info. So it must be cached, no?15:52
MasterOfDisasternewbie112: usually not15:52
newbie112then why the 2 exists? which is more preferrable?15:53
Switchwhat's the best way of searching ls results? just standard piping to grep15:53

GaLaXY_newbie112: ;D linux hosting ftw15:53

newbie112ftw?15:53
Dr_Willistheadmin:  actually rc.local and other services can be running at the same time.. so they can cause clutter on the screen.15:53
edbianfor the win15:53
Dr_Willistheadmin:  but rc.local SHOULD in theory be the last service going.. but GDM may start up and be running befor rc.local is even finished.15:53

GaLaXY_but you shouldn expect to receive a different answer in this channel, newbie112 :p15:53
sacarlsonlinelevel: that's due to the time you have setup for your dns to expire, so if you try at the last dns server from your isp then it won't look it up again till the ttl has expired15:54

lineleveledbian: MasterOfDisaster: d'oh, you guys are right. It's being cached upstream at my DNS server. I'm using one of Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8), so I don't think there's anything I can do about that.15:54
theadminDr_Willis: I need to ask user the password,  before mounting most of filesystems, before GDM; it should be in text mode  (bash script with read option)15:54
SwitcherUSUL: what's wrong with grepping ls -R anyway?15:54
MasterOfDisasterlinelevel: linelevel hehe :D15:55
edbianlinelevel, The change will propogate in less than 24 hours (I don't like DNS, I think it's a very broken system)15:55
Dr_Willistheadmin:  i would disable the gdm service then, and then launch it from rc.local after the user puts in their info.15:55
erUSULSwitch: depends on what you will do what the output. if you are only loooking at it there is nothing wrong15:55

bethdo97Hi --- I am attempting to install Windows 7 minimal install on a Sony Vaio laptop using an USB drive.  I found a step by step guidde for doing this on the MsDN forums but I had one question.  The blog says to access the gnome partition manager thru the Ubuntu Live installation disc.  Can I use the Gparted application from the Ubuntu desktop to do thhe partion or is there some reason to use the one wwith the Live CD?  I am not real Lin16:30
bethdo97son is taking16:30
iulhki want to allow 10 ports to redirect at some specific ports and then i want to enable all the port like firewall is stopped ? anybody has any idea how to do that ?16:30
HalkusThe server is always on, this PC I'm using now is only on while I'm using it, so things like downloading are best done on the server16:31
compdocbethdo97,m the live cd might be better, since you cant work on drives you've booted from16:31
compdocdownload the gparted cd16:31
gpcbethdo97: you need to use the live cd because you can't resize a mounted partition16:31
coleAs root, how may I change the default window manager of another user?16:32
Dr_Williscole:  you can edit their .dmrc16:32
cousteau`nbkbethdo97, well, you should better do all partition stuff from a LiveCD session, so the disks aren't mounted16:33
bethdo97compdoc: ok I wasn't sure,  I must say I have always been a DOS - Windows computer person but Ubuntu has impressed me enough too want to put it onto my laptop to play around with as well.16:33

ben_qI'm trying to get my webserver to change filetimes16:38

bethdo97gogeta:  or/??  I have tried to accomplish this from CD and USB to no avail.  We put a new WD Scorpio blue 500 GB HD in the lap top I am trying to get set up for him.  There was nothing installed on it when I started trying too do this.  I have pulled my hair out foor over a week.  I have learned a lot about a whole little but I am impressed with Ubuntu and plan to get it going on my laptop using WUBI aftere I get my sons computer wor16:55
marjlenecousteau`nbk, don t be sorry, we have tried to find a solution16:55
gimpy4613Halkus: Some software does not like x64, but most would be fine if you install ia32-libs.16:55
FLJohnI have 64 but have some problems with Flash.  if you can not watch hulu because of this, try the Web browser Sea Monkey.  It works16:55

sacarlsonbethdo97: I think you might have a problem partitioning the disk that you are booting from so you might still need the live cd or usb boot16:59
dominicdinadasudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart16:59

dominicdinadaGigabyte:  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart      or start or stop16:59
bethdo97gogeta: The hard drive showed right up in BIOS after installing but then the problem became formatting it.  Used WD tool but Win install didn't recognize the format done.  I even dug out my old MS Dos 7.2 discs and tried to format the disc to no avail.16:59
gimpy4613Halkus: Which Adaptec controller?17:00
cousteau`nbkisn't it better to use `service foo` rather than `/etc/init.d/foo`?17:00

barfjordanm: No wonder why I am confused18:28
nit-witJT13, what folder18:28
magicianlordwhy is grub2 version 1.98?18:28
UgonsAlright, and to install to the external HD I basically follow the same installation process but just choose that as the location?18:28
jordanmmagicianlord: you would have to ask the upstream developer18:28
magicianlordand who is that18:28
barfIs there a way to build the kernel with automatic optimization for the hardware where it is compiled?18:29
nit-witJT13, all you have to do is build a michine launch it with thw windows ISO or cd and install.18:29
JT13nit-wit /home/josh/virtualbox/win se7en18:29
vexati0nUgons: depends on how you want to do it. i run a copy of ubuntu on an external drive that i built from the liveCD so it boots and keeps its settings on any computer18:29

nit-witJT13, sure18:31
UgonsAnd to double check, a MacBook Pro can, yes?18:31
magicianlordUgons: make sure you select advanced in the partitioning scheme, and install grub2 to the external drive only, usually /dev/sdb18:31
ComradeHaz`Ugons: make sure you have a very simple graphixcs config and avoid proprietry graphics drivers18:31

edbianalex2222, It's random or it happens during high traffic?20:39

edbianalex2222, There is a 'keep alive packet' that the laptop and the router must exchange periodically so that the AP knows the laptop is still around.  If that packet can't get through then you get dropped "unassociated" from the network20:41

edbianalex2222, Not that I know of.  I suppose you could use tcp dump but you'll see so much extra crap in there it'd be a mess.20:43
edbianalex2222, I can guarantee that's happening.  The keep alive packet not being transmitted is the ONLY reason you will get unassociated from an AP AFAIK.20:44

Harnessadi_: if you go to System > Administration > Update Manager > Settings > Updates and where it says check for distribution upgrades click "All" you should be able to refresh and upgrade to 10.10 that way20:57
ZykoticK9T-rock007, did you use "sudo add-apt-repository FOO" to add it?20:57
TheMusicGuyActually, it looks like GEdit inserts two quotes because the automatic brackets plugin in enabled; is there a way to configure it so that it doesn't autocomplete quotes?20:57

That made my monitor turn black, and a bunch of blinking lines started flashing across it. Nothing improved/changed. Back on current kernel version. Any advice?
