| Snakkah | I will say this though: I intentionally neglected activating the proprietary ATI driver, coldfront | 00:00 |
| Snakkah | Should I activate it? | 00:00 |
| coldfront | i would give it a try snakkah see if it fixes the problem | 00:00 |

| Condorito | But actually I want to unistall EVERYTHING to do with nvidia x-org drivers off the system. I do not intend to use one again as its the second card to go in a year. How to? | 00:01 |
| Dakrav | almoxarife: i already have a gmail account, but i want to use evolution mail to read it | 00:02 |
| coldfront | this is for archlinux snakkah but might help you https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61433 | 00:02 |

| nunya | pleeese, how can I login as root... | 00:04 |
| almoxarife | Dakrav: I can't tell all the diff, I will say that imap keeps me from having to use up storage at my pc, it's a choice I guess, and you need to decide which method | 00:04 |

| Dakrav | almoxarife: okay, thanks! | 00:05 |
| barf | soreau: but then I’d have to install GUI? | 00:06 |

| erUSUL | coldfront: use visudo and only that to edit sudoers | 00:07 |
| barf | meant to run vbox headless | 00:07 |
| Snakkah | coldfront, thanks for the link but I don't think xorg.conf even exists in Ubuntu 10.10 | 00:07 |

| solexious | What version will be the next LTS? | 00:08 |
| rww | !latest | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 00:08 |
| rww | solexious: 12.04 | 00:08 |
| alk | coldfront: it actually worked :) I saw that page before but was too afraid to try it :P | 00:08 |
| soreau | ! lts | solexious | 00:08 |
| ubottu | solexious: 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 |
| Snakkah | coldfront, okay. Where should I put it then? | 00:08 |
| soreau | solexious: lts is released every couple years or so | 00:08 |

| Snakkah | Alright | 00:10 |
| aea | I 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 |
| soreau | aea: sys>prefs>appearance | 00:10 |
| aea | I'm in that, and "Ambiance" is selected, the windows retain the same look, the panels don't. | 00:11 |
| aea | The look of all the icons on them has changed as well, would a screenshot help? | 00:11 |
| soreau | aea: "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 |
| coldfront | !panels | aea | 00:11 |
| ubottu | aea: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:11 |

| Snakkah | aea, logout and login again. It should revert to normal. | 00:12 |

| billy | better keep that a secret - imagine if Windows XP could only use packages released prior to 2001! | 00:12 |
| soreau | aea: Yea did you even try restarting (X)? | 00:12 |
| aea | Sorry, this happened after a restart and me doing those two things. | 00:13 |
| aea | Logout / login didn't work, let me try the command, | 00:13 |
| almoxarife | Dakrav: either will require authentication | 00:13 |

| sayuseph | hello? i have a question with installation for Ubuntu Netbook Ed. | 00:13 |
| Dakrav | almoxarife: but both will work? | 00:13 |
| billy | no wonder I'm stuck with stuff 10 versions out of date!!! | 00:14 |
| aea | I'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 | sayuseph | 00:14 |
| ubottu | sayuseph: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:14 |
| coldfront | sayuseph: whats up | 00:14 |
| fluvvell | LifeEscalade, what happens if you nmap your ip address, does it show port 5900 open ? | 00:14 |
| soreau | aea: If you run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' in your terminal, does it complete without errors? | 00:14 |
| almoxarife | Dakrav: 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 setup | 00:14 |
| sayuseph | ooh 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 |
| Dakrav | almoxarife: but will SMTP work for sending mail? | 00:15 |
| almoxarife | Dakrav: of course | 00:15 |
| Dakrav | almoxarife: or should i use sendmail? | 00:15 |

| gunndawg | sayuseph, make sure you use lowercase letters for your username | 00:15 |

| Dakrav | almoxarife: thanks! | 00:15 |
| almoxarife | Dakrav: I use either or, both work | 00:15 |

| gunndawg | sayuseph, yes, should work fine | 00:16 |
| Dakrav | almoxarife: will STMP require authentication? | 00:16 |
| erUSUL | Fudge: dunno; read the rest of the -b section in « man e2fsck » there a few more things you may try to find a valid superblock | 00:16 |
| almoxarife | Dakrav: yeap | 00:16 |
| sayuseph | pppfftt yes it worked. Hahaha I'm such a noob at this. Sorry, and thanks again for the help xD <3 | 00:16 |

| done365 | hello all, I need assistance tuning my radio using ivtv. I keep getting device busy error | 00:52 |
| a3ther_ | LifeEscalade, check that the ports are forwarded correctly on your router. run tcpdump on the server to check that it is recieving packets from the outside on the specific port. if it is then it might be a firewall restriction of the network you are connecting from... check that you can connect to someone else who has the required service set up. | 00:52 |

| done365 | hello all, I need assistance tuning my radio using ivtv. I keep getting device busy error | 00:56 |
| a3ther_ | joe_happy, move you music to a neutral location and then symlink that directory to both of your home directories | 00:57 |
| shcherbak | joe_happy: make directory /musicforal amd set right permissions. | 00:57 |
| x20twelve | do i have to take a number to get help? | 00:57 |
| joe_happy | ok great i think i know to move it to a neutral location but whats symlink?? | 00:58 |
| slacker_ | x20twelve : no but this is irc be patient | 00:58 |
| slacker_ | what is your question | 00:58 |
| x20twelve | i am patient. even when ppl come in the room way after me and ask a question and get help pronto | 00:58 |
| x20twelve | question was regarding git | 00:58 |
| x20twelve | http://paste.ubuntu.com/560074/ | 00:58 |
| done365 | I have used the ivtv via command line before with success but now it seems not to work | 00:58 |
| maciej_ | d3cent: if you google reinstall grub from live cd there will be quite a few tutorials , pretty common, you'll want to mount the drive you have ubuntu installed and install grub onto the drive | 00:59 |

| Ademan | is there an appropriate user-specific analogue to /opt? (like ~/.local/opt or something?) | 01:00 |
| johnm | rename u13 u_ser_13_fb | 01:00 |
| johnm | save | 01:00 |
| jrib | Ademan: you could make ~/.opt I suppose... there's no convention I'm aware of | 01:01 |
| Ademan | thanks jrib, that's likely what I'll end up doing | 01:01 |
| done365 | anyone here familiar with ivtv | 01:01 |
| jrib | done365: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 01:01 |
| x20twelve | ok i'll see what else i can find...is there a way to check all the repositories to see if atlantis2 is anywhere at all? | 01:02 |

| barf | Which format is it? | 01:28 |
| x20twelve | Slacker yes/no? it might clarify things for yu | 01:28 |
| tiffanooo | format of what? the files are mp3, the drive appears to be fat32 | 01:28 |
| jrib | scorp007: rc.local ran | 01:28 |
| barf | I have never used fuseblk | 01:29 |
| jrib | scorp007: why? | 01:29 |
| x20twelve | or should i just pm it to yu | 01:30 |
| barf | I believe the problem is in the naming ~music~ translates to /home/tiffanooomusic/home/tiffanooo in a unix/linux environment | 01:30 |
| tiffanooo | okay | 01:30 |
| scorp007 | jrib, because I had a sleep 30 in there, and I'm not sure it had any effect. | 01:30 |
| done365 | how do I playback my ivtv stream | 01:30 |
| Oli`` | Anybody know how to grep a file for a newline? `grep '\n' file` finds "n"s as does \\n and \\\n | 01:30 |

| barf | are you able to do cd "/media/Roe/~music~" ? | 01:31 |

| jrib | scorp007: can you describe in more detail where rc.local is coming into play in your troubleshooting process? | 01:31 |
| barf | ls -lAhR "/media/Roe/~music~" | 01:31 |
| scorp007 | jrib, because after the system fully boots, and I execute sudo service <foo> restart, it fixes the problem. | 01:32 |
| tiffanooo | i just renamed the folder to 'music' with no punctuation | 01:32 |
| scorp007 | so I tried adding that (omitting the sudo) to rc.local to try to fix it automatically | 01:32 |
| jrib | scorp007: heh, what service? | 01:32 |
| a3ther_ | tiffanooo, barf i think it is an ntfs volume | 01:32 |

| barf | You should copy all files on the volume ASAP | 01:36 |
| jrib | scorp007: 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.

| Gigabyte | on vmware | 01:39 |
| jrib | Oli``: actually, I'm not sure you can use grep for that :o | 01:39 |
| done365 | @bazhang I'll install it | 01:39 |
| Oli`` | jrib: just found pcregrep that has a nice multiline option | 01:40 |
| bazhang | done365, you have an hauppage card? | 01:40 |
| sambagirlx | Well what is the problem Gigabyte? | 01:40 |
| corrytonapple | I would like to know too | 01:40 |
| bazhang | !find mythbuntu-desktop | 01:40 |
| ubottu | Found: mythbuntu-desktop | 01:40 |
| roooob | Jrib, it asks me for my password...and it wont let me enter it | 01:40 |
| jrib | Oli``: yeah, was about to suggest you use a language like python or perl where you can specify multiline | 01:40 |
| Gigabyte | i have installed ubuntu on vmware and i installed lamp to try yoomla ... when i need to install some module i give me error ...wait sec | 01:40 |
| Gigabyte | *joomla | 01:41 |
| bazhang | done365, you can get there by installing mythbuntu-desktop | 01:41 |
| slacker_ | x20twelve that tutorial is over 2 years old try the stuff i sent you | 01:41 |
| scorp007 | jrib, ahh, nice. I thought the vim package was already installed. Guess not. | 01:41 |
| jrib | roooob: you won't see anything being written (for security purposes); just type your password and press enter though | 01:41 |
| done365 | @bazhang I do and at one time could access the stream using vlc but now nothing seems to catch the stream | 01:41 |
| roooob | ok | 01:41 |
| jrib | scorp007: yeah, ubuntu comes with vim-tiny unfortunately | 01:41 |
| corrytonapple | Is this VMware in Windows I assume? <Gigabyte> | 01:41 |
| bazhang | done365, I see. | 01:41 |
| scorp007 | jrib, did you mean /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf? | 01:41 |
| jrib | scorp007: yes | 01:41 |
| sambagirlx | heh | 01:41 |
| x20twelve | i already did. plugins got installed. i didnt see it in ccsm, so im gonna restart and check back with yu..... | 01:41 |
| bazhang | done365, if you had it working perhaps better to fix the issue with vlc | 01:41 |
| Gigabyte | yes this is on vmware on full sreen | 01:42 |
| sambagirlx | you have to explain the situation Gigabyte | 01:42 |
| Gigabyte | Warning! Failed to move file. | 01:42 |
| corrytonapple | Gigabyte :Full screen would not change anything. I do not really understand. Where are you trying to install this plugin? | 01:42 |
| scorp007 | jrib, well it says : http://codepad.org/rQpppmky | 01:42 |
| jrib | scorp007: check your logs for the same errors: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/609402 | 01:43 |
| sambagirlx | Gigabyte 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 before | 01:43 |
| Gigabyte | i am trying to install some module on localhost | 01:43 |
| sambagirlx | have you followed the installation instructions for Joomla? | 01:44 |
| Gigabyte | there is a joomla and when i pick module from desktop and press upload and install it gives me Warning! Failed to move file. | 01:44 |
| corrytonapple | What application are you using to install this Module | 01:44 |
| Gigabyte | yes i followes instruction i got it on win 7 | 01:44 |
| sambagirlx | Gigabyte have you installed joomla? | 01:44 |
| Gigabyte | yes | 01:44 |
| sambagirlx | ok so it works | 01:45 |
| bazhang | done365, okay, so its been a while. did you want to check for bugs with vlc, or try the mythbuntu approach | 01:45 |
| Gigabyte | yes it works fine | 01:45 |
| sambagirlx | you need to ask in #joomla | 01:45 |
| sambagirlx | :) | 01:45 |
| scorp007 | jrib, well, for info, the errors in my mythbackend.log looks like http://codepad.org/rqjoLzWO | 01:45 |
| sambagirlx | it is probably permissions | 01:45 |
| id10t | Anyone 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 |
| scorp007 | mainly the problem with the dvb device unable to load, or something | 01:45 |
| sambagirlx | gigabyte | 01:45 |
| corrytonapple | Gigabyte Please do what sambagirlx said. That must be a good forum | 01:45 |
| jrib | scorp007: seems like it can't connect to mysql, right? | 01:45 |
| sambagirlx | #joomla is great | 01:45 |
| scorp007 | jrib, but yes, that too | 01:45 |
| jrib | scorp007: what version of ubuntu? | 01:46 |
| scorp007 | jrib, 10.4 | 01:46 |
| sambagirlx | to be honest gigabyte i think that wordpress is much easier to work with | 01:46 |
| 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 |
| sambagirlx | gigabyte more robust too | 01:46 |
| scorp007 | jrib, I was concerned more with the dvb card failing though -- and fixing everything including mysql with a restart of the service | 01:46 |
| scorp007 | but they're all probably related. | 01:46 |
| Gigabyte | the problem is not in joomla..Warning! Failed to move file....is it bechose this is protectes or something idk :/ | 01:47 |
| Gigabyte | *protected | 01:47 |
| jrib | scorp007: 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 :P | 01:47 |
| corrytonapple | Gigabyte It is permissions issues then | 01:48 |
| bazhang | done365, 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 |
| sambagirlx | gigabyte you might have to change the permissions | 01:48 |
| scorp007 | jrib, what's the command to tell the package version? | 01:48 |
| jrib | scorp007: apt-cache policy PACKAGE | 01:49 |
| sambagirlx | gigabyte you know chmod stuff | 01:49 |
| Gigabyte | nope | 01:49 |
| Gigabyte | today i lerned ls | 01:49 |
| Gigabyte | xD | 01:49 |
| sambagirlx | :) | 01:49 |
| scorp007 | jrib, Installed: 0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2 | 01:49 |
| sambagirlx | i think you need to try #joomla really. but i suggest you use wordpress it is really really nicer i think. | 01:49 |
| sambagirlx | unless you just have requirement for joomla | 01:50 |
| done365 | @bazhang I am getting mythbuntu now any special setup or config I should be aware of in order to get the card working | 01:50 |
| Gigabyte | what is #joomla? | 01:50 |
| bazhang | Gigabyte, a channel for support | 01:50 |
| corrytonapple | An IRC channel. It is their support forum just like this | 01:50 |
| aeon-ltd | Gigabyte: a channel for joomla | 01:50 |
| corrytonapple | Except, for their product | 01:50 |
| sambagirlx | type /join #joomla | 01:51 |
| scorp007 | jrib, come to think of it, the dvb failure could well be due to mysql. | 01:51 |
| sambagirlx | that is the channel for superior joomla support | 01:51 |
| corrytonapple | That is a strange message, above these three | 01:51 |
| bazhang | done365, I'm not really able to answer that apart from reading the documentation, as I don't have an hauppage card | 01:52 |
| sambagirlx | you mean wazzup corrytonapple? | 01:52 |
| corrytonapple | Yes | 01:52 |
| corrytonapple | Just very long,that is all | 01:52 |
| jrib | scorp007: yeah, I'd at least try to grab the changes in the upstart script made since then | 01:52 |
| scorp007 | jrib, heh, is that possible without a distro upgrade? | 01:52 |
| jrib | scorp007: 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 script | 01:53 |
| scorp007 | oh, just manually hacking the file? | 01:53 |
| jrib | scorp007: sure, it's in /etc/ | 01:54 |
| jrib | scorp007: if you prefer, rebuild the source package from maverick | 01:54 |
| x20twelve | <---Slacker---ok im back, additional items were added to my ccsm | 01:54 |
| scorp007 | would it perhaps be easier to upgrade the package in its entirety? | 01:54 |
| jrib | scorp007: I'd say just fixing the upstart script is easier | 01:55 |
| scorp007 | ok | 01:55 |
| x20twelve | but not what i wanted. i guess flying windows is too outdated and hi-tech for ubuntu 9.10? lol | 01:55 |
| id10t | anyone know a good bittorrent client that doesn't bleed into cache? | 01:55 |
| done365 | @bazhang thanks for the input.....off to play with it now | 01:55 |
| bastidrazor | id10t: transmission | 01:55 |
| aeon-ltd | id10t: rtorrent, | 01:55 |
| edbian | id10t, That's called a memory leak. Try using an older version of the same program | 01:56 |
| scorp007 | jrib, I'll try that -- just have a feeling it may depend on other new things in the new version... | 01:56 |
| id10t | bastidrazor: tried the installed version of transmission and its crashing my comp with memory leak | 01:56 |
| id10t | edbian: how can I revert to an older version? | 01:56 |
| bastidrazor | id10t: i've had it running for 3 days. no leaks | 01:56 |
| scorp007 | jrib, so would I get one of these files? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/2:0.24.0+fixes.20101214.1405782-0ubuntu1 | 01:57 |
| edbian | id10t, 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 easier | 01:57 |
| id10t | the problem could be that I am trying to torrent between hard drives... | 01:57 |
| scorp007 | they don't look like .deb files to me. | 01:57 |
| edbian | id10t, (easier than the cli method) | 01:57 |
| id10t | edbian: thanks I will give it a shot | 01:57 |
| jrib | scorp007: I would just use packages.ubuntu.com and grab the maverick one. You don't want the .deb, you want the source package | 01:58 |
| scorp007 | oh | 01:58 |
| === nick is now known as Guest29869 | ||
| magn3ts | I know you can do this is bash easily, I want to wget {2011}{01}{29}.gif all possible combinations of that path. | 01:58 |
| magn3ts | Any tips? | 01:58 |
| jrib | scorp007: sorry. I just noticed it was only fixed in natty | 01:59 |
| scorp007 | jrib, ah ok | 02:00 |
| Gigabyte | hey is here any channel for c++ pascal? | 02:00 |
| scorp007 | jrib, so does this page even have source packages? http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/amd64/mythtv-backend/download | 02:02 |
| scorp007 | looks like only debs | 02:02 |
| aeon-ltd | Gigabyte: that may be under #c++ | 02:02 |
| rww | Gigabyte: ##c++ is fairly active. #pascal is not. The first also requires nickserv registration to talk, see the incoming message from ubottu. | 02:02 |
| rww | ubottu: register > Gigabyte | 02:02 |
| jrib | scorp007: that page does not, no | 02:02 |
| ubottu | Error: That operation cannot be done in a channel. | 02:02 |
| ubottu | Gigabyte, please see my private message | 02:02 |
| * rww appends to list of special factoids he can't do that way >.> | 02:02 | |
| jrib | scorp007: go back before your last click and look at right column though. If you have dget, you can just « dget uri_of_file.dsc » | 02:03 |
| scorp007 | oh, the dsc is what I need? | 02:03 |
| jrib | scorp007: no, but that will get you the rest of them too | 02:03 |
| scorp007 | I'm about to get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mythtv/mythtv_0.24.0+fixes.20101214.1405782-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz is that ok? | 02:04 |
| jrib | scorp007: 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 |
| scorp007 | jrib, oh. I tried sudo apt-get install dget, but no such package. | 02:05 |
| jrib | scorp007: it's in the devscripts package | 02:05 |
| scorp007 | but why do I need all three files if I just want to inspect the upstart script? | 02:05 |
| scorp007 | oh, thanks | 02:06 |
| jrib | scorp007: 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 want | 02:07 |
| scorp007 | oh ok | 02:07 |
| scorp007 | looks like that tgz has only changes since the .orig file | 02:08 |
| scorp007 | ok, well, it's going to take a while to download -- going really slow. I'll let you know when it's done. | 02:09 |
| jrib | scorp007: hold on, I'll grab it for you | 02:10 |
| Naeblis | Ehh...I ran a C++ program in xubuntu...its stuck in an infinite loop in xterm and is not closing, what the hell do I do? | 02:10 |
| scorp007 | ah, ok | 02:10 |

| Gigabyte | my ubuntu is slow | 02:11 |
| Naeblis | nvm, killed it from the task manager | 02:11 |
| Gigabyte | how can i fix it | 02:11 |
| Gigabyte | ? | 02:11 |
| edbian | Gigabyte, ubuntu is in the virtual machine? | 02:11 |
| Gigabyte | yes | 02:12 |
| edbian | Gigabyte, Install it proper ;) | 02:12 |
| Gigabyte | vmware | 02:12 |
| edbian | Gigabyte, It is slow because the system has to run 2 os's at once | 02:12 |
| Gigabyte | heh total 4gb ram and 2.8ghz dual core | 02:12 |
| Gigabyte | it need to work propertly | 02:13 |
| edbian | Gigabyte, You just aid it was 1Gzh and 512 Mb ram | 02:13 |
| scorp007 | ok, so perhaps I should replace mine with that one? I'll back up the old one | 02:13 |
| Gigabyte | i gave from total to ubuntu use that | 02:13 |
| aeon-ltd | Gigabyte: use lighter software, gnome is too heavy, so is compiz (if your using stock ubunutu) | 02:13 |
| jrib | scorp007: sure, seems sane | 02:13 |
| edbian | Gigabyte, well that should be enough hardware | 02:14 |
| Gigabyte | 9.10 id version | 02:14 |
| sambagirlx | gigabyte what is the problem you are experiencing? ubuntu works fab. | 02:15 |
| Gigabyte | ubuntu is really slow | 02:16 |
| Gigabyte | i want it fast | 02:16 |
| sambagirlx | gigabyte something is wrong on your end cause ubuntu is lightining fast | 02:16 |
| edbian | Gigabyte, Install it normally ;) | 02:17 |

| gurkhali69 | sacarlson: ya because i have only one nic now...named eth3.....but during installation it was...eth2 | 02:47 |
| klync | clavin12: `apt-get purge pkg` should do it | 02:47 |
| 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 |

| clavin12 | klync: I got the same error. I'll post it. | 02:54 |

| klync | Jordan_U: the way i read that, that only applies to "autoopen", not to "autostart" files | 02:58 |
| klync | Jordan_U: considering that "autostart.sh" is a valid name for the autostart file, you'd think it'd accept a shell script :/ | 02:58 |

| induz | aeon-ltd, what about /home/my_name/.fonts?? | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | klync: What happens when you insert the media? What happens when you try to run the script directly like "/media/foo/autorun.sh" (*not* like "sh /media/foo/autorun.sh")? | 03:02 |
| aeon-ltd | induz: those are fonts for user use, the one i said was system wide | 03:03 |
| induz | aeon-ltd, ok I got it now | 03:03 |

| Jordan_U | kmc: The easiest way to do it is to use unetbootin or Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator", neither of which will delete existing files. If for some reason that's not acceptable (why?) then you can copy the iso to the flash drive, create a grub.cfg as explained here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F then install grub2 to the drive with grub-install. | 03:13 |

| edbian | ezy, 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 one | 03:41 |
| trism | ezy: if you're using the python-id3 package, it only supports id3 1.1, your file likely has only version 2 tags | 03:41 |
| kmc | Jordan_U, well, i removed the files it wrote there, and re-installed my system grub to that device | 03:42 |
| kmc | i hope it works | 03:42 |
| induz | what is inode/directory?? | 03:42 |
| skilz | hi im having trouble installed debian at the aptitude sources part, something wrong with my network configuration, my server is ubuntu, ip 10.1.1.1, running firestarter to share the connection, the debian client pc is 10.1.1.2, I edited /etc/resolv.conf and put in the nameservers, so it should be working but its not | 03:42 |
| kmc | so nobody here can just tell me what unetbootin is going to do to my stick, so i can do it myself? | 03:42 |
| kmc | if it's supposedly safe | 03:42 |

| induz | a3ther_, it has created a folder but its a inode/directory ..what is that?? | 03:43 |
| a3ther_ | induz, 'sudo chown YOURUSER:YOURUSER /DIRECTORY -rv' | 03:43 |
| anzenketh | thanks for your help | 03:43 |

| Crash1hd | lookig for advice I am setting up a computer for my 4 and 6 year old and I was thinking of installing ubuntu (I am pretty new to ubuntu myself been using it long enough to be confortable with shell ssh and simple commands and I am good with google lol :) what I was thinking was to install something run vmware and another version of ubuntu desktop either mint or regular thats locked down and streamlined as I need but in vmware so I c | 03:45 |
| Crash1hd | an have backup and blow it away if they mess it up, which I expect they will thoughts on linux / ubuntu distros and what would be easiest | 03:45 |
| skilz | rww, thought I'd try my luck in both rooms | 03:45 |
| trans | a3ther_: I didn't understand | 03:45 |
| skilz | It's the same theory | 03:45 |
| a3ther_ | Crash1hd, i think there is a ubuntu version for children / schools | 03:46 |
| anzenketh | a3ther_ did that one before now I keep getting errors like Error reading block 47185920 (Invalid argument) while reading inode and block bitmaps. Ignore error | 03:46 |
| induz | a3ther_, what is YOURUSER:YOURUSER?? | 03:46 |
| bucky | Crash1hd, get the Miley Cyrus remix of ubuntu | 03:46 |
| a3ther_ | trans, you need to change YOURUSER to your normal username. you can find that out with the command 'whoami' | 03:46 |
| Crash1hd | a3Dman, yeah edbuntu | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | kmc: If your flash drive were "/dev/sdb" then it would basically be: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; sudo cp /path/to/ubuntu_10.10.iso /mnt/; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb; sudo vi /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg" where the grub.cfg would follow the template here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F | 03:47 |

| edbian | ezy, they pull it from the tag and put it in the data base. Then from then on they just read the database (it's faster) | 03:50 |
| edbian | ezy, no problem | 03:50 |
| piper69 | anzenketh: OMG i was thinking the same thing and decided to do that. except when i went to do just that i found that i forgot to plug it in the first place | 03:50 |
| trism | ezy: you could try using a different library, I think python-mutagen supports the more recent versions | 03:50 |
| a3ther_ | anzenketh, lvreduce is only going to shrink the partition, before you do that you should shrink the file system that lives on that partition | 03:51 |

| jtannenbaum | I'm on 10.04... should I even bother trying to update tool | 03:52 |

| induz | a3ther_, it has green with drwxr-xrwx | 03:52 |
| ezy | trism, I will have to use the python-mutagen together with the module for v1 right or python-mutagen also supports older versions so I just have to use only one module ? | 03:52 |

| anzenketh | dylan_ has it ever worked | 04:05 |
| dylan_ | yes | 04:05 |
| dylan_ | but not with this install | 04:05 |
| dylan_ | i dont think | 04:05 |
| a3ther_ | anzenketh, you will lose all the data on /var, but i _think_ that will get rebuilt as apps access it. | 04:05 |
| dylan_ | not sure | 04:05 |
| anzenketh | a3ther_ ya I am sure that would work. But sounds like too much work | 04:05 |
| dylan_ | definitely with ubuntu on this machine though | 04:05 |

| a3ther_ | anzenketh, and now after the resize? | 04:07 |
| mrapple | a3ther_: thanks, i think this will work | 04:07 |
| x20twelve | oh ok .. when i quit the game, would it bring me back to that screen or is it safe to just restart the computer as it'd only take about 25secs | 04:07 |
| anzenketh | oh /var it was 50G I was trying to resize it to 10 | 04:07 |
| anzenketh | and /home was 400G was trying to resize it to 100 | 04:07 |
| a3ther_ | you should resize the filesystem first then the partiton | 04:08 |
| anzenketh | Yep know that now | 04:08 |
| badpenguin86 | x20twelve, I think that when you exit the game, it would take you back to the prompt, and you just type "exit" and that would take you back to the login screen | 04:08 |
| x20twelve | ok im gonna try it now...brb! | 04:08 |

| Dementio | (Loki^): what command shows if you're using alsa, oss, pulseaudio, etc? | 04:21 |
| Blank | Starminn: I only have vague memories of it, but I think I had similar problems when trying to use update-manager while there was an update notification in the taskbar. | 04:22 |
| tarelerulz | How do you tell if your wireless connection is really using all you connection speed to your router? When I run windows 7 , my surfing seems fast. | 04:22 |
| Starminn | "Failed to lock package manager Check if you are currently running another software management tool, e.g. Synaptic or aptitude. Only one tool is allowed to make changes at a time." Under Details it tells me that "The package indexes are currently changed by apt-get." | 04:22 |
| Blank | Starminn: er, package manager. | 04:22 |
| Loki^ | Dementio: i dont understand? | 04:22 |
| Starminn | Blank: Yes, that's what it sounds like, and every so often I'll boot and it says I need to re-update my system, but I can' find a fix for it regardless. =) | 04:23 |
| Dementio | (Loki^): which drivers i'm using, i can't remember. i think it's either alsa or pulseaudio | 04:23 |
| Blank | Starminn: Try closing/canceling the update notification. | 04:23 |
| Loki^ | i use pulse | 04:23 |
| Starminn | Reboot and the message is gone and I can install stuff until I close Package Manager/apt-get/Synaptic. | 04:23 |
| Loki^ | Dementio pulse | 04:23 |
| Starminn | There's no update notificatin now though. | 04:23 |
| a3ther_ | Starminn, close all instances of any package manager etc then 'sudo rm var/lib/dpkg/lock' | 04:23 |
| a3ther_ | that should do it | 04:24 |
| a3ther_ | sorry | 04:24 |
| a3ther_ | 'sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock' | 04:24 |

| Blank | Lunarll: It's strange though how the default setting there wasn't how it should have been. | 05:07 |
| bucky | Pinchiukas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/560123/ | 05:07 |
| thesheff17 | Barridus: if you right click on the toolbar and click add to panel and select brighness applet you should be able to adjust the brightness. | 05:08 |
| switch10_ | Barridus: power management I believe. | 05:08 |
| Pinchiukas | Thanks bucky. :) | 05:08 |
| goobar | Barridus, you could do it remotely is the only thing I can think of... goobarred | 05:08 |
| Lunarll | indeed it is :s | 05:08 |
| x20twelve | when i play nexiuz from within the gnome/kde the sound is kinda good but its there. when i play in xterm there is no sound ... what am i missing?? | 05:08 |
| Lunarll | some installs end up strange sometimes | 05:08 |
| Pinchiukas | bucky: btw, what ubuntu version, what Samba version? | 05:10 |
| Loki^ | got a question: when i type in "glxinfo | grep rendering" to terminal, i receive "direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)" how can i set it to yes? | 05:10 |
| skorv[droid] | Hello... Is there a way to modify boot animation in ubunto? | 05:11 |

| skorv[droid] | Not talking about when x starts... before that (ubuntu with the dots changing color on 10.04) | 05:14 |
| chaospsychex | hi there | 05:14 |
| Assid | lots of splits? | 05:14 |
| Assid | skorv[droid]: nvidia card? and you just activated the restricted drivers? | 05:15 |
| eyebyte | i was trying to burn from convertxtodvd earlier and didn't really work out for me | 05:15 |
| chaospsychex | i am getting an error trying install updates through update manager | 05:15 |
| chaospsychex | something about un-authenticated sources? | 05:15 |
| chaospsychex | never had the problem when trying to update before | 05:16 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: I'm gonna take a guess that you have an unauthenticated source in your source list ;) | 05:16 |
| chaospsychex | if i had an unautheticated source would they be sending | 05:16 |
| chaospsychex | updates? | 05:16 |
| chaospsychex | i think i added one to install something using apt-get | 05:16 |
| _jesse_ | apt-get will query it for updates, sure | 05:16 |
| chaospsychex | you mean if i type apt-get right? | 05:17 |
| _jesse_ | well then | 05:17 |
| Assid | ok i just loaded up ubuntu.. activated the restricted drivers... and did the updates | 05:17 |
| chaospsychex | will it download updates from an unauthenticated source automatically? | 05:17 |
| _jesse_ | no | 05:17 |
| Assid | and now when i boot. the boot screen looks horrible | 05:17 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: I don't think so at least | 05:17 |
| chaospsychex | lol assid | 05:17 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: you can add that source's GPG key to your system to authenticate it | 05:18 |
| chaospsychex | hmmm | 05:18 |
| Assid | the 4 dots look like VGA screen stretched. and the backend "commands/init" shows up | 05:18 |
| a3ther_ | does apt-get do gpg signature checking? | 05:18 |
| Assid | also it says it cant find the modules.dep before that | 05:19 |
| goobar | hammer time | 05:19 |
| rww | a3ther_: yes | 05:19 |
| chaospsychex | any lua scripters in here? | 05:19 |
| Assid | chaospsychex: any idea whats up? | 05:20 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SecureApt | 05:20 |
| gunndawg | how can I display video card information ? | 05:20 |
| chaospsychex | i probably have an unautheticated source added | 05:20 |
| chaospsychex | gunndawg, lspci? | 05:20 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: right, that link has instructions on how to get the GPG key and install it | 05:20 |
| Assid | _jesse_: any way to have apt download 4 files at a time instead of 1 ? | 05:20 |
| bucky | gunndawg, lspci |grep VGA | 05:21 |
| gunndawg | chaospsychex, it doesnt show its memory though, I wanna know how much memory this laptops video has | 05:21 |
| _jesse_ | Assid: never tried to do that | 05:21 |
| chaospsychex | gunndawg, is it onboard or integrated video? | 05:22 |
| gunndawg | chaospsychex, onboard | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | intel? | 05:22 |
| gunndawg | yes | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | probably 8mb | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | if your lucky | 05:22 |
| gunndawg | its more than an 8mb video card, lol | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | LOL | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | that was 10 years ago | 05:22 |
| chaospsychex | my bad | 05:22 |
| gunndawg | so how can I figure out the memory of the card ? | 05:23 |
| Assid | brb | 05:24 |
| chaospsychex | go into the BIOS and it should tell you. there is a command also but i forget | 05:24 |
| gunndawg | ok | 05:24 |
| _jesse_ | Assid: take a look through `man apt.conf` | 05:24 |
| java_ | So, if i open my laptop and it won't boot, what did I most likely break? | 05:24 |
| java_ | (And yes, i'm an idiot.) | 05:24 |
| _jesse_ | java_: by won't boot, you mean won't turn on? Or what? | 05:25 |
| chaospsychex | java, no one is an idiot. theres the learned and unlearned | 05:25 |
| java_ | I mean won't turn on yes. | 05:25 |
| _jesse_ | java_: is it plugged in? | 05:26 |
| java_ | Yes. | 05:26 |
| x20twelve | can someone help with my nexuiz problems pls | 05:26 |
| java_ | Well, not now, but when i tried yes. | 05:26 |
| _jesse_ | java_: could be anything, definitely hardware though | 05:26 |
| java_ | Would removing a microphone do it? | 05:27 |
| chaospsychex | java, what do you see on the screen when you turn it on | 05:27 |
| chaospsychex | java, ofcourse not | 05:27 |
| java_ | Nothing, it doesn't turn on. | 05:27 |
| chaospsychex | the power light doesnt even light up? | 05:27 |

| chaospsychex | is it a HP ? | 05:27 |
| java_ | Dell | 05:27 |

| chaospsychex | have you tried plugging it into the charger and trying to turn it on? | 05:27 |
| java_ | Yes. | 05:28 |
| _jesse_ | java_: perhaps the PSU, motherboard, or even just the connection between the button and motherboard is broken | 05:28 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: Haha are you purposely ignoring lines? | 05:28 |
| === shentino_ is now known as Shentino | ||

| mOHawk | java: try checking battery on your laptop i had same problem once and just took battery out and put back in see if that solves it? | 05:29 |
| _jesse_ | chaospsychex: he said it wouldn't turn on and that he had it plugged in before you asked either of those questions :P | 05:29 |
| eyebyte | i was trying to burn from convertxtodvd earlier and didn't really work out for me | 05:29 |

| _jesse_ | roooob: nice | 05:30 |

| Sinister | when i plug in my phone it pulls up my external hard drive same when i plug in my camera anyone know why or how to fix ? | 05:32 |
| _jesse_ | Sinister: are you sure it isn't just mounting the phone/camera? | 05:33 |
| java_ | Well, assuming it's not the above, you've probably got your mount points fucked for some reason. | 05:33 |
| Sinister | when i open it it shows the dir of my /dev/sdb | 05:34 |
| java_ | Is that your external or built in HDD | 05:36 |
| Sinister | external | 05:36 |
| Sinister | my printer card reader works right just not the phone | 05:37 |
| Sinister | it worked on 10.4 and fedora 13 | 05:37 |
| made2shred | whats a good IPblocker? (like peerblock) | 05:38 |
| java_ | Well, unless I'm more of a newb then I think I am (Which is quite likely) like I said, your mount points are incorrectly configured. | 05:38 |
| skilz | how do I change the console resolution? | 05:38 |
| java_ | Don't know how to fix, sorry. | 05:38 |

| themalik | or is evolution better... | 06:15 |
| bc81 | evolution is better, but more convoluted and bloated with features you probably won't need | 06:15 |
| Dementio | (themalik): it's really just personal preferance | 06:15 |
| pooky | you know I have mutt set up, but mostly, I just end up using gmail via web interface | 06:15 |

| Dementio | evolution has more features, but thunderbird is more user friendly | 06:15 |
| themalik | i want to replace evolution so when u click mail thunderbird appears | 06:16 |

| frostero | chalcedony, close... looking for a product inventory management | 07:40 |
| alesan | apt-get update seems to only "update" the database, not download and install the packages... am I correct? | 07:40 |
| chalcedony | frostero, you don't want much, do you? .. i'll try more | 07:40 |
| frostero | sorry mang | 07:40 |
| Yuuichi | sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:40 |
| frostero | i have looked at a few, but haven't found a good fit | 07:41 |
| frostero | so i figured i would test some heads here and see if someone had better options | 07:41 |
| superlinkx | Ok. 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 s | 07:41 |

| frostero | not really | 07:57 |
| twur | Krishnandu: You can download it, probably from the Belkin web site | 07:57 |
| frostero | i have found a few | 07:57 |
| Krishnandu | Okies...thanks, let's try twur :) | 07:57 |

| chalcedony | frostero, i'll guess that you have spent some time working with it, perhaps what you need is someone to do some coding for you? | 07:59 |

| frostero | basically i was unable to add the repository in order to install a java sdk | 08:02 |

| gkasinath | col0ur, can you try a sudo lshw? | 08:08 |

| frostero | thanx llutz/chalcdony: updating, gonna try to rerun java jdk | 08:14 |

| frostero | A_J: figure out what graphics your board is running | 08:15 |
| Dementio | (tsimpson): i realise that, but i'm using hdmi on the nvidia card, so a sound module is needed | 08:15 |

| tsimpson | frostero: Sun open-sourced Java, so openjdk should work just as well as Suns. but you can still install and use the Sun JDK if you wish | 08:24 |
| frostero | but the site is saying to install openjdk not javajdk, i am sure that it works regardless but im just pissed cauz i was mis informed | 08:25 |
| tsimpson | the default is the open source version, because Ubuntu uses open source wherever possible | 08:25 |
| frostero | yea | 08:25 |
| frostero | i get that | 08:25 |
| frostero | its just bad info i guess | 08:25 |
| frostero | or bad info on the site | 08:25 |
| frostero | something like that | 08:26 |

| motz | hi | 08:30 |
| coder2 | frostero: then what is the next step?? | 08:30 |
| sacarlson | col0ur: but I think the device would still be seen with iwconfig if that was the case, you should also look at what is seen with iwconfig | 08:30 |

| frostero | also remove your bios password | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Dementio: if your user has no .dmrc (thats where the last selection is saved) it would use the system default. | 08:35 |
| motz | frostero, I don't have a bios password | 08:35 |
| frostero | ok | 08:35 |
| frostero | then you should have no prob booting from a live cd into the OS | 08:35 |
| frostero | if you do, try another cd | 08:35 |

| frostero | get a earlier dist and burn a new cd | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: you did verify the md5 of the image? you can tell your video card by checking the output of 'lspci' command also. | 08:36 |
| frostero | try from that | 08:36 |
| sacarlson | col0ur: then I assume the rfkill list also returns nothing? | 08:36 |
| Dementio | (Dr_Willis): thanks, was looking for that file. checked custom.conf, but it kept using last choice | 08:36 |
| java_ | I don't know, PClinux either didn't write to disk well or didn't like my hardware. | 08:36 |
| frostero | i agree Dr_Willis | 08:36 |
| frostero | did you verify it? | 08:36 |
| ssokolow_ | One of my PCs has several hundred gigs of free space, so I'd prefer to cache everything possible. | 08:37 |
| col0ur | sacarlson, what is rfkill/ | 08:37 |
| frostero | ssokolow_: you wanna cache several hundred gigs? | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ssokolow_: 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_Willis | ssokolow_: as for cacheing othe rthings.. theres a few http/web cachers out there. but i dont use those. | 08:38 |
| ssokolow_ | frostero, I'm saying I have several hundred gigs free. | 08:38 |
| frostero | ah | 08:38 |
| ssokolow_ | Dr_Willis, *nod* Already planning to use Polipo for HTTP since, as I understand, it'll cache HTTP 1.1 Range requests like partial YouTube requests better than Squid. | 08:38 |

| frostero | check your logs | 08:39 |
| motz | now I can only restart | 08:39 |
| java_ | Are you getting an error message when you have to restart? | 08:40 |
| 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 |
| motz | no | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: sounds like you are either having some hardware issues, or currupted files when you installed. | 08:40 |
| tsimpson | ssokolow_: there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror or the apt-mirror tool | 08:40 |
| motz | What if i try the live cd 64 instead of the 32 one? | 08:41 |
| ssokolow_ | tsimpson, Thanks. | 08:41 |
| frostero | is your hardware capable of a 64 bit sys? | 08:41 |
| frostero | are your running a 32 live now? | 08:41 |
| motz | I don't know. I just bought a new laptop, so I guess it is advanced | 08:42 |
| java_ | Is a processor named on a label somewhere? | 08:42 |
| frostero | try running a 32bit live first | 08:42 |
| java_ | Like "AMD 64"? | 08:42 |
| motz | frostero, yes, I'm running a 32 now | 08:42 |
| frostero | get a hardware profile for the laptop | 08:43 |
| motz | the processor is a intel dual core | 08:43 |
| java_ | And it doesn't advertise being 64 bit? | 08:43 |
| frostero | sometimes linux doesnt deal with multicore very effectively | 08:43 |
| frostero | it happens | 08:43 |
| motz | frostero, so, what do you suggest me? | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: brand new (as in just came out this month) laptops can be very problematic. | 08:44 |
| frostero | motz:http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download | 08:45 |

| Dr_Willis | motz: with any of the releases.. over the years.. every time i get a 'brand new' laptop. it seems i often have issues. untill the next release after the laptop came out. | 08:46 |

| java_ | Lol, I still have a laptop that won't turn on. | 08:50 |
| sacarlson | col0ur: but from reading your pastebin above it seems it's an unclaimed device so it has no drivers attached, I guess you will have to manually modprobe the 5 or so drivers that are available for that device untill you find the one that works, you should see what's presently blacklisted | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | seems ive been getting a lot more lag/disconnects on freenode lately.. anyone else been seeing this issue? | 08:55 |
| tehbaut | Could someone tell me how to "burn several discs" in Brasero? Simply hitting the "Burn Several Discs" button doesn't appear to actually do anything... | 08:56 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: #freenode is the place, but yes | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: 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 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: you may want to try some other burning tool. Brassero is often.. well.. problematic. | 08:56 |
| tehbaut | durn, I already made my file selection and pared it down | 08:57 |
| johnm | rename u13 u_ser_13_fb | 08:57 |
| johnm | save | 08:57 |
| java_ | So, just a question, of the three, Dell, HP, Apple (mac), which ones users do IT guys stereotype as being the stupidest? (Not trollin.) | 08:57 |
| tehbaut | I guess I'll just remove some more, and do a second disc manually | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: make a single iso of the disk to the HD. perhaps. . then you can burn copies easially. | 08:57 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: I assumed my disconects were my isp changing my ip address, I see it on average about 2 times a day but sometimes more | 08:57 |
| ikonia | johnm: you've done that twice now, what's the problem ? | 08:57 |
| tehbaut | bah, Brasero just crashed :/ | 08:58 |
| java_ | Brasero, kinda sucks. | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: yea. Brasero really should be replaced with somthing else.. | 08:58 |
| tehbaut | why's it included then?! :P | 08:58 |

| MrMintanet | Hey fellas/ladie3s | 09:01 |
| MrMintanet | Got a question really quick, if anyone is awake out there. | 09:01 |
| ikonia | just ask it | 09:01 |
| col0ur | sacarlson, im not too sure how to find what to modprobe, but thanks for continuing to help :) | 09:01 |
| java_ | we all live by the glow of the terminal. | 09:01 |
| Dementio | (Dr_Willis): friggin finally, omg thank you | 09:01 |
| Dementio | finally | 09:01 |
| MrMintanet | I am presently on an old machine that I haven't used in a while. 10.10 is installed on it... (continuing) | 09:01 |
| MrMintanet | I wanted to know how the disk drives were setup | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Dementio: Huh? :) what was it. | 09:02 |
| Dementio | i honestly don't know | 09:02 |
| MrMintanet | I went to disk utility and it shows I have two 1TB drives | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | MrMintanet: 'sudo fdisk -l' to see their layout. | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | or gparted. or that disk utility can show. but i tend to use fdisk -l, or gparted. | 09:02 |
| MrMintanet | Well, 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 |
| Dementio | i installed gnone-desktop, and an alsa update, and then there was a pulseaudio update | 09:03 |
| assurbanipal | hi 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 |
| Dementio | so who knows | 09:03 |
| Dementio | all i know is i finally have 5.1 in mkv's and dvd | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | MrMintanet: 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 |
| MrMintanet | Well, that was my question, I'm not sure how to test if this is a raid or not | 09:03 |
| Dementio | now just hope it'll all work when i switch it to a blu-ray drive monday | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | MrMintanet: its possible the filesystems on the other disks are not mounted anywhere. | 09:03 |
| MrMintanet | May I copy/paste the results from sudo fdisk -l? If so, what is the link to do that?\ | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | MrMintanet: start with fdisk, and mount. | 09:04 |

| ikonia | MrMintanet: if it's raid or not isn't really anything to do with Linux, unless you are using Linux softrware raid, in which case that would show in the disk tool | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | MrMintanet: you may want to install the pastebinit command - it makes pasting that info easier. | 09:04 |
| MrMintanet | http://paste.ubuntu.com/560145/ | 09:05 |
| Dementio | (Dr_Willis): it was linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-25-generic that i installed | 09:05 |
| MrMintanet | I'm not sure how I configured this, and I was hoping someone could not only tell me what kind of disk configuration I have setup, but if they could also explain the logic behind the sudo fdisk -l command and the results I receive | 09:05 |
| Dementio | and a PA update | 09:05 |
| Dementio | who knows which fixed it | 09:06 |
| MrMintanet | Anyone? | 09:06 |
| sacarlson | col0ur: you can look at the blacklist file I think at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf or near there, I think you can try the blacklisted ones to see if they work also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1418676 | 09:06 |

| azlobo0 | output of the command df -h : if you have a 1TB entry with "/dev/md#" (# == a number) then its a software raid. | 09:06 |
| Dementio | anyway, i'm out, cya later | 09:06 |
| === Dementio is now known as Dementio_away | ||
| MrMintanet | azlobo0, I never setup a software raid with Ubuntu, so I am certain that's not right... | 09:06 |
| azlobo0 | MrMintanet: sounds right - you'd have to have one up. Does df -h command have any 1TB entries ? | 09:07 |

| ikonia | MrMintanet: if it's raid or not is nothing to do with Linux, the only reason you'd be able to tell is if you did Linux software raid, which you've just said you didn't do | 09:08 |
| MrMintanet | Kind of annoying that I find something so simple so difficult!!! Grrrrr! | 09:08 |
| MrMintanet | Thanks for the help, but I still am confused on what kind of disk configuration I have setup. | 09:09 |
| MrMintanet | http://paste.ubuntu.com/560146/ | 09:09 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: not really, boot your box, if it detects a raid disk in the bios, you know it's raid, if it doesn't, it's not raid | 09:09 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: as I've said 3 times it's nothing to do with linux | 09:09 |
| java_ | It happens, my hardware switch for my wifi once reversed, not funny. | 09:09 |
| azlobo0 | MrMintanet: based on the output, your / is one of your 1TB drives (906G) and the other does not appear mounted. did you setup/format a partion on the second drive ? | 09:09 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: stop pasting the output of df - it shows nothign of value | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | MrMintanet: you got everything on sda, single partiion a nd a swap. No idea what that SFS is on sdb. Try mounting it by hand and seeing whats on there.. if nothing.. then i would reparittion it to be some other more usefull filesystem, | 09:09 |

| ikonia | bullgard4: because it's running from a livecd | 09:10 |
| sacarlson | col0ur: I"ve already seen that, you need to try look at that after each modprobe attempt, example sudo modprobe b43; sudo lspci -v | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: beause its just the Prompt PS1 settings showing the user/hostname. | 09:10 |

| col0ur | sacarlson, kk will try | 09:10 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Both men are running from a Live CD. | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | the ~ in the prompt is the 'current working directory' in most cases. | 09:10 |

| llutz_ | Dr_Willis: ~ == $HOME | 09:11 |

| Gnea | ikonia: it's been out for awhile now, used mostly in nettops and mini-itx | 09:34 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: put it in /etc/fstab | 09:34 |
| ikonia | Gnea: never heard of it, | 09:34 |
| motz | frostero, here's my hardware: http://pastebin.com/sjj5F2pi . Do you have any suggestion? | 09:34 |
| MrMintanet | ikonia, I am a highly novice user | 09:34 |
| frostero | coolermaster atcs-840, 100 bones... new | 09:34 |
| MrMintanet | What do you mean, "put it in /etc/fstab"? | 09:34 |
| yondering | ikonia, cool, thanks. I've been considering (drooling) over an Asus 12" netbook for some time. =/ | 09:34 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: ok, open the file /etc/fstab, look at the entries for / use that as a template to add the second disk | 09:34 |
| frostero | 250-300 hundy new | 09:35 |
| MrMintanet | ikonia, can you try to talk down on my level? I have no idea what you are saying. Perhaps I should go back to windows? I really wish I could do simple things, but it seems that I constantly have to rely on CLI and I really don't understand much ofi t. | 09:35 |
| Gnea | ikonia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/sff_ion.html | 09:35 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: if you want to go back to windows, go back to windows if that's easier for you | 09:35 |
| MrMintanet | Ok, can you talk down on my level, or do you not know how? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Gnea: pretty much the link I'm just reading | 09:36 |
| MrMintanet | If you have trouble communicating, I understand. I appreciate you trying to help. | 09:36 |
| MrDudle | MrMintanet: no one here wants to do everything for you | 09:36 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: open the file /etc/fstab, look at the entry for your / mount point. | 09:36 |
| MrMintanet | Wow. | 09:36 |
| Gnea | MrMintanet: have you tried #ubuntu-beginners? | 09:36 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: are you able to do/see that ? | 09:36 |
| MrMintanet | I will go there. | 09:36 |
| MrMintanet | I apologize for asking simple questions. | 09:36 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: I'm walking you through it | 09:36 |
| MrMintanet | No you are not | 09:36 |
| MrMintanet | Goodbye | 09:36 |
| aurilliance | I'm looking for a screen ruler that lets me measure either by drawing a rectangle (and giving me the size of the box), or by letting me draw a ruler in any direction. | 09:37 |
| aurilliance | http://gnomecoder.wordpress.com/screenruler/ is close, however it is constrained to horizontal and vertical | 09:37 |
| MrDudle | i hope he goes back to windows | 09:37 |
| yondering | wow. | 09:37 |
| ikonia | MrMintanet: there is no need to apologise for asking a question | 09:37 |
| ikonia | MrDudle: no need for that | 09:37 |
| java_ | *pssst, he's like me when I started, and doesn't know what a directory is.* | 09:37 |
| Gnea | he left | 09:37 |
| MrDudle | oh he's already gone ikonia | 09:37 |
| vooze | What filesystem should i use for my external harddrive? Its currentl msdos from when i was using windows.. but it sucks on ubuntu linux.. I use it for backup, mediacenter etc. (boxee mediacenter) | 09:37 |
| Gnea | MrDudle: that sort of attitude really doesn't fit in here | 09:37 |
| MrDudle | Gnea: sure it does when someone doesn't even want to think | 09:38 |
| Gnea | MrDudle: no, no it doesn't. | 09:38 |
| MrDudle | Gnea: people should want to think | 09:38 |
| MrDudle | not have it done for them | 09:39 |
| Gnea | MrDudle: if you can't be patient with people, then you have no business trying to follow the CoC | 09:39 |
| MrDudle | CoC? | 09:39 |
| Gnea | !coc | MrDudle | 09:39 |
| ubottu | MrDudle: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ . For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct . | 09:39 |
| ikonia | MrDudle: either help them - or don't, but it's not up to you to state what people should want to do | 09:39 |
| MrDudle | you can't help those who don't want to be helped | 09:39 |
| Gnea | MrDudle: and if you refuse to follow the CoC, then you have no place here. | 09:39 |
| Gnea | well he obviously came here in the first place | 09:40 |
| ikonia | MrDudle: then don't help them, but don't make comments, | 09:40 |
| sacarlson | aurilliance: maybe qcad http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qcad | 09:40 |
| Gnea | therefore, he was looking for help. but if you aren't flexible enough to understand how to help someone, because not everyone needs the same type of help all the time, then what good are you? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | back to the topic.... | 09:40 |
| aurilliance | sacarlson, thanks mate | 09:40 |
| java_ | If people are trying to help the guy, and you jump in with a bedsheet over your head and spook em... | 09:40 |
| ikonia | java_: enough | 09:40 |
| MrDudle | oh please | 09:41 |
| java_ | Okay | 09:41 |
| MrDudle | he said he didn't know how to open a file | 09:41 |
| ikonia | MrDudle: enough | 09:41 |
| ikonia | MrDudle: final request, enough | 09:41 |
| Gnea | MrDudle: take the trollish attitude and stuff it. | 09:41 |
| MrDudle | lol | 09:41 |
| ikonia | Gnea: enough | 09:41 |
| skilz_ | when I try to ssh to my other box I get @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ | 09:41 |
| tonghuix | 请求了音乐信使会话。请单击 MM 图标接受。 | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: your ssh keys have changed for some reason. | 09:42 |
| Gnea | ikonia: sorry, it just gets on my nerves how inconsiderate some people can be at times | 09:42 |
| java_ | IPcheck? | 09:42 |
| ikonia | skilz_: looks like the box at the other end has either changed (differnt box/rebuild) or had it's keys re-generated | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: this is on a local lan? over the internet? | 09:42 |
| skilz_ | local lan | 09:42 |
| skilz_ | I just installed ubuntu on it and installed the package 'ssh' | 09:43 |
| Dcite | skilz_: Is it re-using an IP from earlier? | 09:43 |
| home | привет | 09:43 |
| skilz_ | hmm, I used to have a different box using the same ip address, could that be the prob? | 09:43 |
| skilz_ | yes | 09:43 |
| sacarlson | skilz_: I think that happens when the system dhcp ip address has changed for that box connected to before | 09:43 |
| Dcite | !ru | home | 09:43 |
| ubottu | home: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: so the ip has stayed the same. and you did a reinstall.. you proberly want to remove the incorrect key in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 09:43 |
| ArtVandalae | Hi 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 |
| motz | frostero, 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_Willis | skilz_: your local box keeps a cache of known hosts.. thats the one sending you the warning. | 09:44 |
| skilz_ | ah k | 09:44 |
| skilz_ | Dr_Willis, what do I change? its one BIG LONG line of jibberish | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: thers one line for each host you have sshed to.. | 09:46 |
| Dcite | skilz_: It should have given you some sort of line number with the warning. | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | if theres just 1 line for one host.. delete the line then | 09:46 |
| yondering | skilz_, 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 |
| yondering | skilz_, that'll work too. | 09:46 |
| Dcite | Dr_Willis: As for more recent versions I don't think raw ip/addresses are shown anymore. | 09:46 |
| tehbaut | for 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_Willis | skilz_: hats another way | 09:47 |
| Dcite | skilz_: rm would work, but it's a poor security choice normally. | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: try gparted. | 09:47 |
| Gigabyte | hy | 09:48 |
| skilz_ | ok awesome, problem solved, thanks guys but one more problem I do have, hmm yessss | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I wouldent think hfsprogs would be needed to delete a hfs partition. | 09:48 |
| DrummerBoy38 | it 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 |
| skilz_ | Im having a big problem, I have 2 pcs with ubuntu networked, let's call this pc1 (my pc) and pc2 (my girlfriends)... pc1 can browse the network shares on pc2, but pc2 cannot browse the network shares on pc1??? | 09:48 |
| ikonia | a partition is just a partition, the file system doesn't matter | 09:48 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: gparted always crashes because the disk contains partially copied partitions... but this partition I'm trying to delete is whole | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: theres always the fdisk command i guess.. | 09:49 |
| ikonia | DrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug | 09:49 |
| Gigabyte | hey i have problem with changing language | 09:49 |
| Gigabyte | :/ | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: you may need to install some of the various samba pacakges on the pc's some may be missing. | 09:49 |
| DrummerBoy38 | ikonia, I think I have narrowed it down to about 1 cause | 09:49 |
| ikonia | DrummerBoy38: no, have you logged a bug | 09:50 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: make a share on pc1,. add see if pc1 can see its own shares. | 09:50 |
| DrummerBoy38 | what are you saying | 09:50 |
| ikonia | DrummerBoy38: I'm saying "have you logged a bug against xchat" | 09:50 |
| vooze | Hey.. i just plugged in nr. 2 external harddrive.. should that not be possible? i can only see nr. 1, and NOT nr. 2... both are WD MY books (500GB and 2TB) | 09:50 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: that command scares me, frankly :P | 09:50 |
| DrummerBoy38 | it is x-chat gnome that is the problem. this x-chat is fine | 09:50 |
| DrummerBoy38 | it is still crashing :O( | 09:51 |
| ikonia | DrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug against x-chat-gome ? | 09:51 |
| takoylis | need help enabling sound on my imac | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: i cant imagine why gparted would crash due to data on the hd pattions.. thats scarier.. | 09:51 |
| takoylis | with ubuntu 10.10 64bit | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: if you just want to delete things , fdisk isent too hard :) | 09:51 |
| skilz_ | Dr_Willis, yes pc1 can see its own shares | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: 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/sharename | 09:52 |
| skilz_ | ok | 09:52 |
| skilz_ | hey whats that console chat application called | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | skilz_: i use weechat for the console irc client. theres irssi, and others. | 09:53 |
| llutz_ | skilz_: irssi, weechat | 09:53 |
| 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 name | 09:53 |
| DrummerBoy38 | ikonia, a piece of super strong metallic cloth may have protected the alien bug in its space craft. | 09:53 |
| skilz_ | nah not irc client | 09:53 |
| skilz_ | local system chat | 09:53 |
| takoylis | guys | 09:53 |
| takoylis | any help? | 09:53 |
| takoylis | i dont have any sound | 09:53 |
| takoylis | on my imac | 09:54 |
| DrummerBoy38 | sorry ikonia, i sometimes fuse sentences . one moment | 09:54 |
| takoylis | !help | 09:54 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:54 |
| ikonia | DrummerBoy38: I just want a yes or no response. "have you logged a bug against x-chat-gnome" ? | 09:54 |
| pmjp | hello | 09:54 |
| jpsman | how can i run a .exe using wine from a CD? it says it needs an executable bit, but I can't change a CD file... | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | takoylis: theres a lot of different imacs out. You did check the forums | 09:55 |
| DrummerBoy38 | ikonia, no i have not. i had fallen asleep. | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jpsman: easy way. use the command line... wine /media/wheverthecdisat/watever.exe | 09:55 |
| takoylis | I have NO SOUND on my iMac 21" 3.06 GHZ , Ubuntu 64bit | 09:55 |
| ikonia | DrummerBoy38: then I suggest you log a bug, as detailed as you can, as nothing will get fixed if people don't know about a bug | 09:55 |
| motz | frostero, where do I find the logs I have to read? | 09:55 |
| skilz_ | Dr_Willis, 'talk' is what I was trying to think of :) | 09:56 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, here's my hardware: http://pastebin.com/sjj5F2pi . Do you have any suggestion? | 09:56 |

| bullgard4 | I'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? | 09:57 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, it crashes, i get a blank screen and I just can resete | 09:57 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: that paste is useless, it's just html | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: but a live cd works? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: io errors coming from HDs are not a good sign.. You do have backups of anything imporntant? | 09:59 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, you the "try mode" ? | 09:59 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, yes, it works | 09:59 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I do not understand why the paste is useless. Please elaborate. | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: 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 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: Yes, I do have a backup of /home | 10:00 |
| ikonia | Dr_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 lines | 10:00 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: because the paste shows a lot of html code, | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: i would check the md5 of the cd. and perhaps put it on a flash drive. and try a reinstall. | 10:00 |
| tehbaut | Dr_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_Willis | tehbaut: reboot.. the system is using the old patition tabke. | 10:01 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: The GParted program offers this file output format. | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: used to be fdisk would say a message aliong the lines 'Warning: system is using old partition table' | 10:01 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: that doesn't make it good - it's usless | 10:01 |
| tehbaut | dr | 10:01 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: yes, this is after rebooting | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: i rarely notice that issue these days.. disk contro.ers may be smarter. | 10:01 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Ah! Understood. | 10:01 |
| zetheroo | trying to connect a friends machine to a VPN ... the same VPN my system connects to ... and his keeps saying "VPN service failed to start" ... why? | 10:01 |

| Guest43412 | Hey there | 10:02 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: no, using just /dev/sdb will crash gparted | 10:02 |
| abhijeet | hi guys. i m using ubuntu 10.10. but when i checked the "about ubuntu" it is showing "You are using Ubuntu 11.04- the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012". It's kind of strange.. I have not upgraded my os | 10:02 |
| Lxs | hello, 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_Willis | tehbaut: you got some deeper issues then. how about just 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' ? | 10:02 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: after rebooting, I re-ran gparted /dev/sdb3 and it still shows as unallocated, so I've no idea what's up | 10:03 |
| vooze | How 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 |
| Guest43412 | Fkkkk | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: gparted on /dev/sdb should definatly not be crashing gparted. Unless theres somthing very weird on the disk layout/partition table. | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | im suprised that gpar5ted /dev/sdb3 even worked.. | 10:04 |
| tehbaut | Dr_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 shrugs | 10:05 | |
| feiyan | network test | 10:05 |
| Dr_Willis | in fact.. gparted /dev/sdb3 would seem totally WRONG from what i just tried with it. | 10:05 |
| linuxtech | I just found something disturbing while cleaning up some old kernels. title Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-28-generic | 10:05 |

| FloodBot3 | linuxtech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:05 |

| === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje | ||
| edwardteach | abhijain, use lsb_release -a will tell you you ubuntu version | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: You may want to zero out the whole hd and repatition it from the beginning. | 10:06 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: this is only a temporary stop on a data recovery adventure... so I'll get to that point eventually | 10:06 |
| Lxs | What device should I choose for the bootloader installation ? /dev/sda ? /dev/mapper/.... Linux Device-mapper ? /dev/mapper... Windows 7 (loader) ? | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: 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 work | 10:07 |
| abhijain | edwardteach, ??? | 10:08 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: 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_Willis | gparted may be a bit smarter. it seems to be at least. | 10:08 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: well I can give you a backtrace of the errors when I try /dev/sdb... but I have no idea what they mean | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: i doubt if i know either. | 10:09 |
| abhijeet | is there anyway can i hibernate ubuntu ?? | 10:09 |
| AbhiJit | DISCLAIMERp: do not confuse three of us! we three are different persosns | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: if you still have the orignal data. I would repartition the spare/problem hd. and rebackup | 10:09 |
| abhijeet | there is no option at power button | 10:09 |
| AbhiJit | edwardteach, ^^^^ | 10:09 |
| bullgard4 | abhijYes. | 10:09 |
| abhijeet | how?? | 10:09 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: the original data is from a dead/dying hard drive, so no... I'd rather not do that ;) | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: how can yu even verify what you copied is good.. catch-22 situation. | 10:10 |
| tehbaut | if 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 four | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: 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 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: yeah, that's ideally the next step in the process... but I'm getting there slowly, with lots of bottlenecks :\ | 10:11 |
| bullgard4 | abhijeet: One possibility: Grep help.ubuntu.com for "ACPI" and "Hibernate" | 10:11 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: yeah, I used both dd and ddrescue... both failed to completely copy, and the drive got ridiculously slow... like 1kB/s transfer speeds | 10:12 |
| abhijeet | bullgard4, i will check that site | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Hibernate/suspend Often causes more issues then its worth. | 10:12 |

| tehbaut | Dr_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_Willis | fakeer: 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 |
| vooze | Dr_Willis, oh sorry wrong line, 2 sec | 10:15 |
| vooze | How 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? | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: Not really. perhaps fsarchiver | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | vooze: 'sudo fdisk -l' is one way. f its a new HD. its proberly NTFS | 10:15 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, what do we have to conclude? hd problem? | 10:15 |
| fakeer | Dr_Willis: Could you please be more clear. And great if a few links/tuts you might be knwoing. | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: 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 |
| MrMintanet | I 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 |
| Dr_Willis | fakeer: Ive not had to recover such things in 7+ years. so i dont even know aht new guides are out there on the topic. | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !info parted | 10:17 |
| ubottu | parted (source: parted): The GNU Parted disk partition resizing program. In component main, is standard. Version 2.3-2ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 72 kB, installed size 196 kB | 10:17 |
| bullgard4 | MrMintanet Please put a specific question here in this channel. | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall some partion recoveruy cli tool on a rescue cd. but cant recall its name | 10:17 |
| fakeer | Dr_Willis: However, it was 9.10's GParted that shows me Ubuntu partition as unallocated | 10:17 |
| llutz_ | Dr_Willis: testdisk (parted package) | 10:17 |
| vooze | Dr_Willis, finally thanks! :) it was NTFS.. its just because the "old 500GB" is FAT32.. and that REALLY sucks in linux :D | 10:17 |
| _java_ | Mr. we all agreed that guy was a jerk, your fine. | 10:18 |

| Dr_Willis | fakeer: ive never noticed or heard of windows 7 deleteing linux patitions.. | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | fakeer: i just have the 1 windows 7 box however.. so i dont use it a lot. | 10:18 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, what do you suggest me to do? should I give up? | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: 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 |
| MrMintanet | When 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" to | 10:20 |
| MrMintanet | the end of my /etc/fstab file so that these spare drives mount on startup. Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong? | 10:20 |
| motz | Dr_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_Willis | motz: it sould be ojn the ubuntu dowmnloads/torrents. or check topic in #ubuntu+1 | 10:21 |
| 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 |
| === marku379 is now known as newlad | ||
| Dr_Willis | changeing the partiion table is one thing.. but thats a list of existing partitions.. . altering an actual partiioon is another whole thing.. | 10:23 |
| _java_ | True, "unallocated | 10:23 |
| _java_ | Crap accidentally pressed enter. "Unallocated" is a bit different isn't it. | 10:24 |

| frostero | hey yallz | 10:25 |
| _java_ | Yes? | 10:26 |
| frostero | i need someone good with hardware and drivers, | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ajah: wine shows them as instaslled where exactly? | 10:26 |

| X11 | or how to bring it back to the front again | 10:27 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, could you give me the whole path to the 11.4? | 10:27 |
| frostero | it requires more then i can give right now | 10:27 |
| frostero | can someone help him out? | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ajah: thats not 'wine' showing anything. when a wine app installs.. the process gernates a .destktop and other files that gnome menus use. :) | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ajah: i think they are stored in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged | 10:28 |

| frostero | its not that much i know, but someone more knowledgable can quick fix this | 10:29 |
| steinex | for the packages that get upgraded? | 10:29 |
| fakeer | Dr_Willis: Neither did I. Erlier (Vista and XP) all I had to do was bot off a LiveCD and reinstall grub and update it. | 10:29 |
| ajah | Dr_Willis, but i start wine>Uninstall wine software it shows me tthat programs | 10:29 |
| v3trae | I just came from Crunchbang to ubuntu netbook. I had 'multitouch' capability natively in crunchbang (specifically to do the two finger scroll), but can't seem to find the same support for ubuntu anywhere. I dont remember installing any packages to get this working in crunchbang. Anyone familiar with how to do this? | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: the topic in #ubuntu+1 channel gave a url -> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/alpha1 | 10:29 |
| ajah | Dr_Willis, and list them in the add/remove programs window | 10:30 |
| aaron11 | hello | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ajah: I tend to just purge my whole .wine dir every so often. :) i rarely fight with wine much. | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ajah: i rarely even mess with th extra things in the wine 'menu' either. | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. the menu -> wine -> uninstall wine software program even has a button to INSTALL apps from a cd... | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | that may work better for some people fighting with isntalling stuff from cd perhaps. | 10:32 |
| aaron11 | I have a problem with my Ubuntu 10.10, I just downloaded an update and after that, the screen will go to a console saying something about a batery power and firefox. I restart it and it was gone, while I was watching a You Tube video the black screen poped up again. I have to restart again and now im here. What should I do? | 10:32 |
| fakeer | Dr_Willis: can you suggest any channel in particular for this issue? | 10:32 |
| ohzie | aaron11: The error is very very important. | 10:32 |
| ohzie | aaron11: It sounds like a graphics card problem to me | 10:33 |
| aaron11 | ohzie, There is no error. | 10:33 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, what if I give a look at the logs? where do I find them? | 10:33 |
| ohzie | aaron11: I don't know what the battery/firefox thing could possibly be | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | fakeer: 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 |
| aaron11 | ohzie, Or atleast no error message. But only after this update i have this problem | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: all logs are normallin in /var/log/ and check out put of the 'dmesg' command | 10:33 |
| ohzie | aaron11: what is your system | 10:33 |
| ohzie | aaron11: can you do an lspci and an lshw and post them to a pastebin? | 10:34 |
| sacarlson | frostero: maybe you could give us a clue as what you are working with by: sudo lshw | pastebinit | 10:34 |
| === Alcapun is now known as noobuntu | ||
| v3trae | Continued question. I assume ubuntu generates it's xorg.conf using the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, is that correct? | 10:36 |
| aaron11 | ohzie, my system is acer aspire 4736z | 10:36 |
| aaron11 | ohzie, the lspci, 1 sec | 10:36 |
| Dr_Willis | v3trae: X auto configures for the most part these days. not even generating a xorg.conf | 10:37 |
| sacarlson | v3trae: that file will only exist if you run propriatary video drivers or if you make custom mods to it | 10:37 |
| aaron11 | ohzie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/ | 10:37 |
| v3trae | Dr_Willis: well if one needed to make a manual change to the xorg configuration i'd imagine it would be done in these files | 10:37 |
| ohzie | I actually think that's the worst feature ever | 10:37 |
| v3trae | Dr_Willis: suppose that's what i'm asking. I apologize | 10:37 |
| ohzie | I went to modify my xorg for my nvidia drivers and was like "Wait what" | 10:37 |
| ohzie | "where is it" | 10:37 |
| ohzie | and I freaked out and thought I'd done someting immensely stupid | 10:37 |
| ohzie | something** | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | my nvidia systems have a minimal xorg.conf that basically enables twinview. | 10:38 |
| ohzie | I mean I love that xorg has advanced far enough to autoconfigure so well, but like...it could autogenerate an xorg conf. :P | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ohzie: thats sort of self-defeating. | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | xorg.conf overrides the auto-configring last i checked. | 10:39 |
| ohzie | Dr_Willis: It does | 10:39 |
| aaron11 | ohzie, Did u get the link? | 10:40 |
| ohzie | aaron11: what link | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | v3trae: 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 |
| francesco_ | -it-doc | 10:40 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, [EE] open /dev/fb0 no such file or directoty | 10:40 |

| aaron11 | ohzie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/ | 10:40 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, could this be the problem? | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: fb0 is the framebuffer. which is not even used by default on ubuntu last i checked. | 10:41 |
| ohzie | aaron11: TY. Sorry if I overlooked it, I usually only notice lines with hilight on them unless I'm paying a lot of attention. | 10:41 |
| ohzie | motz: Joseph? | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: so i doubt thats the issue.. unless its a very weird driver/plymouth issue. | 10:41 |
| NET||abuse | hey guys. my tomboy notes won't open with alt-f12 using gnome on netbook remix, 10.10 | 10:41 |

| NET||abuse | anyonne know why the shortcut would be unresponsive? | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | v3trae: my nvidia systems have a xorg.conf in /etc/ yes. | 10:42 |
| motz | ohzie, no, sorry, I'm not Joseph | 10:42 |
| v3trae | Dr_Willis: understood. Thank you | 10:42 |
| ohzie | motz: Thanks. =) | 10:42 |
| edwardteach | Dr_Willis, is there a way to check the settings of the xorg auto-config ? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | edwardteach: never really looked into it. | 10:42 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, could it make sense to try with another distro? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: May as well try.. dosent hurt to try. | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: tinuy core linux = 10mb download = good to 'test' things with. | 10:43 |
| vooze | I'm having some "problems" with my external harddrives.. in win there was no problem.. Filesystem is FAT32 + NTFS.. both transfer REALLY SLOW in ubuntu.. both to and from the harddrive.. any ideas??? Shoudent NTFS be fine ?? | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: your system is a 'brand new just relased' laptop correct? it may be many disrtos may have simile rissuesd with it. | 10:44 |
| BelkinUSB | hello, having a tought time trying to connect to my Ubuntu 10.10 machine from WindowsXP in my home network. No problem the other way around | 10:44 |
| icefyre | vooze: NTFS is a different filesystem than the one used by Ubutnu so there is a conversion toll. It will be noticably slower to use an NTFS partition than a native ext4 partition | 10:44 |
| kah | ` | 10:44 |
| ohzie | Dr_Willis: Is there any way to tell what driver xorg is using without telling it to create an xorg conf? | 10:45 |
| calvin | this is specified in xorg.conf.. | 10:45 |
| vooze | icefyre, should i use a tool? or just wait? | 10:45 |
| vooze | its like 8 hours for 25GB :( | 10:45 |
| ohzie | calvin: ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf file by default. :3 | 10:45 |
| icefyre | Vooze: this should only apply for copying files | 10:45 |
| ohzie | calvin: Hence the question. | 10:45 |
| calvin | it just uses default vesa | 10:46 |
| icefyre | vooze: just accessing files shouldn't be as much of a problem | 10:46 |
| ohzie | calvin: if I have an nvidia card it won't default to the 'nv' driver? | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ohzie: the x log files can tell you that. | 10:46 |
| sacarlson | ohzie: I think sudo lshw will display what driver each device is using and if they use any at all | 10:46 |
| vooze | yeah okay, that was what i was afraid off.. I use the external harddrive for mediacenter.. = i copy files ALOT :( | 10:46 |
| motz | Dr_Willis, so it's a mistake to buy a brand new laptop if you want to install linux on it? | 10:47 |
| calvin | ohzie: noveau is the way to go imo | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | $ grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: it pays to research your hardware. | 10:47 |
| ohzie | motz: linux-laptop.com has a huge database of machines people have installed linux on | 10:48 |
| edwardteach | BelkinUSB, how are you connecting the boxs | 10:48 |
| ohzie | what flavors, what worked, and what didn't | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: Ubuntu is reelased every 6 months.. so the current release is almost 4+mo old.. | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | motz: the next release may fix any issues you have. | 10:48 |
| ohzie | aaron11: run that command, "grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" that Dr_Willis mentioned. | 10:48 |
| icefyre | vooze: then it shouldn't be as much of a problem as long as you aren't copying the content from the external HD to your linux filesystem before playing movies | 10:49 |
| minixking | anyone here know about proftpd? | 10:49 |

| calvin | i'd anytime prefer it over the propetiary drivers ;d | 10:51 |
| edwardteach | BelkinUSB, i meant what software and for what reason ? ahh so its a samba issue ! only one way connection ? | 10:52 |

| 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 |
| sacarlson | splashote: you should have a line in /etc/apt/source.list like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sariolakys_: what os was on the 'new' machine in the first place? | 11:08 |
| edwardteach | BelkinUSB, sounds like a permission problem ! have you edited the samba.conf file to allow access from remote client | 11:08 |
| sariolakys_ | there is a Windows 7 on it. System had 2 partitions of 500GB each | 11:09 |
| splashote | sacarlson: but i'm using maverik and this is how it looks like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib | 11:10 |
| splashote | sacarlson: so it's ok, isn't it? | 11:10 |

| bullgard4 | I'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_Willis | sariolakys_: 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 empty | 11:11 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sariolakys_: 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 |
| sacarlson | splashote: yes that seems to exist | 11:11 |
| sacarlson | splashote: can you browse that address with your browser? | 11:12 |

| christhecoolboy | hey all, I have a problem.... | 11:14 |
| 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 th | 11:15 |
| sariolakys_ | ink it should be asking if I want to manually edit the partitions, use the entire disk, etc, right? | 11:15 |
| christhecoolboy | I have an elonex webbook | 11:15 |

| christhecoolboy | how do I edit files on my USB stick | 11:15 |
| razz1 | want a corded keyboard and mouse, not too expensive are the logitech k300 and M500 a good choice | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | sariolakys_: i tend to use a gparted live cd. set up the partitions how i want, and tell the uubnut insatller to mount the partions where i want. | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | christhecoolboy: thers no xorg.conf to edit on a livecd/flash drive.. | 11:16 |
| christhecoolboy | what do I do then? | 11:16 |
| christhecoolboy | I cant see anything | 11:16 |
| christhecoolboy | its all TV static like | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | christhecoolboy: there are often boot optiomns for specific problems... so whats your eact issue. | 11:16 |
| bullgard4 | christhecoolboy: Mount the stick. Then use gedit. | 11:16 |
| christhecoolboy | ^^ | 11:16 |
| BelkinUSB | edwardteach, tried it but no luck... time to go now :( | 11:16 |

| Dr_Willis | christhecoolboy: you can make that file if you wanted.. but theres no xorg.conf by default on a live cd. and provberly not on the usb-live setup either | 11:18 |
| christhecoolboy | how could I change it so it boots... | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | christhecoolboy: that URL is stateing to change the file After it installs.. it seems. | 11:19 |
| benedict | hi, i get a message at boot saying "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" - it is somehow connected the virtualbox. i only have /proc/sys/kernel/pref_event_paranoid in the folder. i didn't find any uselfull info on the web. any advice for me? | 11:19 |
| christhecoolboy | It needs to be in 1024 x 600 | 11:19 |
| christhecoolboy | and I cannot install it | 11:19 |
| razz1 | erUSUL: I know all keyboards do the same job but when you need to use them for more than 10 hrs a day, then it really matters and I have used really cheap ones and they do not cut it | 11:19 |
| christhecoolboy | since when I start it, its all static | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | christhecoolboy: 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 below | 11:19 |
| sariolakys_ | it (new partitioning table, add..., edit...,etc) are all inactive | 11:19 |

| christhecoolboy | erm... | 11:20 |

| uni4dfx | how do i remove plymouth? | 11:35 |
| Gnea | uni4dfx: you don't. | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | uni4dfx: not reccomended.. You can turn it 'off' by editing the /etc/default/grub and changeing 'quiet splash' to be just '' (ie blank) | 11:35 |
| boxbeatsy | Also, i'm trying to update my svn repository, and i keep getting "urlopen error" and if i just keep trying over and over it eventually works. it's like i'm losing connection, but i'm not. | 11:35 |
| uni4dfx | Dr_Willis that's a very bad workaround since it's going to be overwritten each time there is a kernel update | 11:36 |
| rumpe1 | Benkinooby, you have to be admin to do this | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | uni4dfx: ive never have had it overwritten been doing it that way since beta.. | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | uni4dfx: so i think yoru statement is wrong. | 11:36 |
| Benkinooby | rumpe1, when doing "sudo vim /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" and enter a 2 it won't let me save | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | every kernel update reruns update-grub that reads that config.. that setting makes it the 'default' for all new kernels also. | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | uni4dfx: you May be confuseing /boot/grub/grub.cfg (you DONT edit that file) you edit /etc/default/grub | 11:37 |
| uni4dfx | Dr_Willis oh yeah, my bad | 11:38 |

| jetboyjetgirl | what's the next most used linux distro after ubuntu? | 12:20 |
| MrMintanet | Red Hat | 12:20 |
| gunndawg | jetboyjetgirl, none other | 12:20 |
| zenithdk_- | sss: have you booted into Windows? | 12:20 |
| === unix is now known as Guest12893 | ||
| mongy | MrMintanet, zoneminder? | 12:21 |
| jetboyjetgirl | Ok, so ubuntu must be really popular | 12:21 |
| jetboyjetgirl | I take it Red Hat is running a distant 2nd | 12:21 |
| gunndawg | jestboyjetgirl, yes, its the most used linux distro at like 90 | 12:21 |
| sss | zenithdk_-, I have windows xp already installed and I have used it , and now I want to install Ubuntu using the LiveCD | 12:21 |
| gunndawg | 90% the population | 12:21 |
| MrMintanet | Mongy, did you just google that, or do you actually use the program? | 12:21 |
| jetboyjetgirl | 90% ? wow | 12:21 |
| zenithdk_- | so have you booted up on the Live CD into Ubuntu or are you in Windows? | 12:21 |
| gunndawg | jetboyjetgirl, 90% of linux users use ubuntu as far as I have read | 12:22 |
| mongy | MrMintanet, I searched in software centre, I forgot the name of it, Ive never used it but have seen a few guides about it.. it supposed to be good.. you wont know till you try it | 12:22 |
| ubuntu_1004 | is there a way to show the remaining hours when running on battery for Ubuntu 0buntu 10.04? | 12:22 |
| sss | zenithdk_-, I am now using Ubuntu through the LiveCD and I want to install it | 12:22 |
| gunndawg | juetboyegirl, not saying 90% of the population uses linux | 12:23 |
| jetboyjetgirl | yeah I understand | 12:23 |
| jetboyjetgirl | 90% of linux users | 12:23 |
| gunndawg | yes | 12:23 |
| zenithdk_- | sss: I just wanted to know if you were running Ubuntu, or were in Windows, you are in Ubuntu, right | 12:23 |
| mongy | MrMintanet, http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu | 12:23 |
| jetboyjetgirl | I asked because the ubuntu channels are so packed copared to other channels | 12:23 |
| zenithdk_- | so for the partitioning, have it create a 40GB partition for Ubuntu | 12:23 |
| sss | zenithdk_-, Right now I am chatting with you using Ubuntu | 12:23 |
| gunndawg | jetboyjeygirl, there is a lot you can do with ubuntu, if I showed you my desktop you would be blown away | 12:24 |
| zenithdk_- | so it just needs to resize your existing partition, which version of Ubuntu are you running? I thought newer installers assumed this by themselves | 12:24 |
| barbadillo | hi all | 12:24 |
| sss | zenithdk_-, 10.10. I don't have an option to automatically install alongside current OS | 12:24 |
| zenithdk_- | I think if you run Wubi from Windows it should ask you that, to resize your existing partition | 12:25 |
| jetboyjetgirl | I bet gunndawg, I'm really impressed so far... it's too bad it took me this long the check linux out. | 12:25 |
| barbadillo | i'm not able to login to gnome after upgrade to 10.10 | 12:25 |
| zenithdk_- | sss: ok, then just shrink your existing partition | 12:25 |
| gunndawg | jetboyjetgirl, enjoy the experience :) | 12:25 |
| jetboyjetgirl | I'm running windows 7/ ubuntu 10.10 and 90% of the time I've been using ubuntu now | 12:25 |
| sss | zenithdk_-, I am not using Wubi! I am using the LiveCD | 12:25 |
| 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 OS | 12:25 |

| gunndawg | jetboyjetgirl, 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 also | 12:26 |
| sam-_- | gunndawg: i very much doubt that | 12:26 |

| sss | zenithdk_-, I am using already 4 prime partitions, I think, Can I add another partition? | 12:27 |
| shmup | nvm, got it | 12:27 |
| securityxxxpert_ | anybody famaliar with manually adding a entry to the arp cache? I can add the entry I need but I'm not sure if it's right the very beginning as a ? | 12:27 |

| 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 correctly | 12:27 |
| barbadillo | i need to complain with some official ubuntu people | 12:28 |
| danst_ | I'm running 10.10 | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: 4 primaries Max. One can be a Extended that holds logicals. | 12:28 |
| bazhang | barbadillo, about what | 12:28 |
| sss | zenithdk_-, I heared I need to make an extended partition, but I have no idea how to | 12:28 |
| barbadillo | bazhang, about i'm not able to login via gdm anymore | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: if you have 4 primaries.. you will need to delete one. and remake it as an extended. | 12:28 |
| GHH | Is it not possible installing Nvidia Optimus driver? | 12:28 |
| barbadillo | i can login in tty | 12:29 |
| codingenesis | sss you can extend partition using gparted | 12:29 |
| jipsy | im 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 |
| sss | Dr_Willis, Imy sda2 is my window's D: drive and I don't use it so I don't mind deleting it | 12:29 |
| codingenesis | sss: do it using a live cd. get gparted on a live disk | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | jipsy: 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. You should not do that since it most likely will not work" | 12:30 |
| barbadillo | blank screen adnd then login screen again | 12:30 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: look at the start/end cylinders, they are all allocated | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | solar_: since its a warning. I wouldent think that would stop ktorrent from working. | 12:30 |
| sss | codingenesis, 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 one | 12:31 |
| danst_ | bullgard4: are you logging into gnome session? | 12:31 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, i googled for it, it seems a bug but no one is caring | 12:31 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: 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 AWOL | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | barbadillo: if you stop the gdm service, then login as a user at the console. does 'startx' work? | 12:31 |
| danst_ | bullgard4: oh sorry for mistyping | 12:31 |
| sss | How many partitions do I need for Ubuntu? | 12:31 |
| barbadillo | Dr_Willis, yes it works | 12:31 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: show me the bug report for it | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: at a min, 2 , one for / and one for swap. | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: conerting that primary to an extended. and putting 2 logicals in it.. should work. | 12:31 |
| sss | Dr_Willis, Should I use GParted? | 12:32 |

| codingenesis | sss, overwriting may some time hamper ur installed ubuntu | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | barbadillo: last i saw gdm login issues.. it was the ownership of the .dmrc file that messed things up. | 12:32 |
| codingenesis | so its better to resize it. | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: you can. | 12:32 |

| codingenesis | do any one here can tell me about coverting linux binaries into win?? | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | barbadillo: as a second test. try making a new user and se eif it works for them. | 12:33 |
| barbadillo | Dr_Willis, my .dmrc is ok | 12:33 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: but they are logical so they are contained in /dev/sda2 so "allocated" | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: short answer.. you dont? :) there are linux's that can run inside windows at the same time. | 12:33 |
| barbadillo | Dr_Willis, also if i try with root it's the same | 12:33 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: root won't let you login, so that's not a bug | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | barbadillo: try making a new user. | 12:33 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, i can't find it anymore but i saw it on bugs.launchpad | 12:33 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: ok, so best not to reference something you can't find | 12:34 |
| sss | Dr_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 |
| codingenesis | i know it's not possible .....but still my heart says some where it is possible | 12:34 |
| sam-_- | codingenesis: take a look at cygwin | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: windows will ignore the partitions.. worst case.. if you try to access them from windows. it may ask to format them. | 12:34 |
| codingenesis | cygwin just does for limited application...... | 12:35 |
| Vaati | Hello, my Ubuntu crashed and I am unable to get it running again; upon selecting it at startup, it says that it cannot find wubildr (I used the windows ubuntu installer). Yet, wubildr exists in the C:\ubuntu\ folder (or one of its subfolders); why is it not working? Because it crashed, I lost two of my physics lab assignments, and would really like an alternative to reoing them | 12:35 |
| ikonia | codingenesis: it's not possible, and it's offtopic for this channel | 12:35 |
| Vaati | redoing* | 12:35 |
| sam-_- | codingenesis: y. well the rest you have to port by hand | 12:35 |
| barbadillo | Dr_Willis, the same with a brand new user | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: andlinux (anlinux?) runs ubuntu inside a virtal machine. you just see the Linux apps appear as windows apps :) | 12:35 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: what version of ubuntu is this ? | 12:35 |
| sss | Dr_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 it | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sss: if d: is not a boot partion.. then wdnows wont care. :) | 12:36 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, 10.10 | 12:36 |
| codingenesis | is cygwin able to run all the Dr Willis , whats the name of that linux? | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | since you are not booting it.. | 12:36 |
| sss | Dr_Willis, it isn't, so I will try it | 12:36 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: 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 |
| barbadillo | it happens just after the upgrade | 12:36 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it is important, if you look at how the free space is laid out | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: 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 ways | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: or just use virtualbox and the disto you like. | 12:37 |
| sss | Dr_Willis, Thank you, I'll try deleting it. Bye! | 12:37 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: /dev/sda2 allwed me to move partition sda6. So it should allow me to move the partition sda7 likewise. | 12:38 |
| zenithdk_- | does anyone know how to re-add the status / presence applet to the panel? I cannot change my status anymore, I think it crashed and went AWOL | 12:38 |

| ubottu | zenithdk_-: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:38 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, if you google for "gdm login loop 10.10" you will find many people with this problem but no solutions at all | 12:38 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: 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 status | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetkde | 12:39 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: google is not a bug report | 12:39 |
| tehbaut | No 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 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: if you google "gdm working fine" you'll find many more people with no problem, so it's not a good reference | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: 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 |
| Kondry | Sup? | 12:40 |
| tehbaut | Dr_Willis: ok, so if there's no error, then I should expect files are copied successfully? | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | zenithdk_-: yea. the panel can get a bit confused.. | 12:40 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: The output of '~$ sudo fdisk -l' which I pasted is the current state. No upgrading needed. | 12:40 |
| tehbaut | it's getting stuck on some possible bad blocks, but it's been picking up again after getting stuck a while | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tehbaut: 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 verify | 12:40 |
| tehbaut | hmmm, ok | 12:41 |
| friese | hi | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 12:41 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: again, I disagree as gparted things there is no space free or none-readable. If you want advice, follow it, if you want to ignore it and argue it, good luck | 12:41 |
| tehbaut | wait, nope... I got my first error here | 12:41 |
| tehbaut | may try rsync later | 12:41 |
| friese | ive got an ubuntu 10.10 server with egroupware 1.8 running. i want to install a simple mail server to work together with egroupware. so i dont need anything like send/recieve mails from other domains, only connections from localhost=egroupware | 12:42 |

| ikonia | (chrome based) | 12:48 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, don't think so | 12:49 |

| bazhang | danst_, sure. | 12:50 |
| codingenesis_ | can anyone tell me whether i can convert linux binaries into win binaries? | 12:50 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, you right, but it is the same behaviour | 12:50 |
| quiescens | Vaati: your data should still be in c:\ubuntu\ in one or more .disk files | 12:50 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: but it's caused by a video card you're not using, so it's not relevant | 12:50 |
| bazhang | danst_, hit ctrl space to disable ibus input | 12:50 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, what's your suggestion then? | 12:50 |
| Vaati | quiescens: how do I access it? | 12:50 |
| danst_ | bazhang: oh, thank you | 12:50 |
| danst_ | I hope it helps | 12:51 |
| codingenesis_ | and if i have a windows binary than how should i compile it | 12:51 |
| bazhang | danst_, how many languages you have in ibus-setup | 12:51 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: when you do "startx" from the tty, what happens ? | 12:51 |
| aeon-ltd | codingenesis_: no, not directly, though some open source projects compile for windows though | 12:51 |
| codingenesis | Dr Willis : can u tell me from where i can get the list of channels .......?? | 12:51 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, it's all ok from tty | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | codingenesis: for irc? the freenode website has a list of the popular ones. | 12:51 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, i get to the root gnome desktop | 12:52 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: what happenes when you run startx from the tty | 12:52 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: you should not be able to login as root | 12:52 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, are you hearing me? | 12:52 |
| codingenesis_ | aeon-ltd, can u name them pls?? | 12:52 |

| ikonia | barbadillo: how are you at the root gnome session when you should not be able to login as root | 12:53 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, if i run startx from tty i get directly to the root gnome desktop | 12:53 |

| codingenesis_ | ? | 12:53 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: what user are you logging in as ? | 12:53 |
| aeon-ltd | codingenesis_: i don't know all the open source projects that supply win binares | 12:53 |
| quiescens | vaati: that depends on what you want to do with it, you can probably backup/move/rename them, reinstall wubi and then restore them, or you could boot a livecd and mount them manually, or you might be able to find some directions on fixing wubildr without reinstalling anything | 12:53 |
| aeon-ltd | *binaries | 12:53 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, root | 12:53 |

| barbadillo | ???? | 12:53 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: the root user is disabled in ubuntu | 12:54 |
| danst_ | bazhang: no, it's just when I type something it changes language every next letter and it goes something like that "sщmуtрiтg lшkу еhфt" | 12:54 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, at the login prompt i type root and my password and i'm root | 12:54 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: then you have changed your ubuntu config as the root account is disabled | 12:54 |
| Vaati | quiescens: ok -- I will try that. Thanks for your advice. I was thinking of that earlier, but backing up a 16 gb + file is going to take some time | 12:54 |
| coz_ | barbadillo, so you already bypassed the disabled root account...yes? | 12:54 |
| barbadillo | ikonia, it is not a brand new installation | 12:54 |
| bazhang | danst_, my ibus is acting very strangely as well, identical setup. I'll check launchpad for bugs | 12:54 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: so ? it's always been disabled in ubuntu | 12:54 |
| barbadillo | people i can't understand if you are kidding me | 12:55 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: I'm not joking | 12:55 |
| bazhang | barbadillo, we're not | 12:55 |
| ikonia | barbadillo: show me the permissions on your .dmrc file please. | 12:55 |

| danst_ | bazhang: it told me that ibus is turned off | 12:58 |

| barbadillo | ikonia, is already active for disply :0 | 12:58 |
| danst_ | bazhang: is that because I pressed ctrl+space | 12:58 |

| barbadillo | ikonia, ctrl+alt+f1 | 12:58 |
| bazhang | danst_, what about alt f2 ibus-setup , should launch a configuration wizard | 12:58 |

| theadmin | bazhang: hm? | 13:35 |
| bazhang | theadmin, how to kill the boot splash? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: arp will have nothing to do with your dns or gateway | 13:35 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: look at what your dns servers are set to and what your default gateway | 13:36 |
| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: location? | 13:36 |
| theadmin | bazhang: 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 |

| RoDiMuS-X | Anyone know of a Gmail Notifier that is not a screenlet? | 13:36 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: /etc/resov.conf for your dns servers, netstat -rn for your default gateway | 13:36 |
| A_J | k | 13:36 |
| A_J | so like this ? | 13:36 |
| A_J | xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync | 13:36 |

| Olathe | A_J: You should try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc | 13:37 |
| Olathe | A_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 mentioned | 13:37 |
| Olathe | A_J: Put the newmode line right under that and the addmode line under the newmode line. | 13:37 |
| Olathe | A_J: Then, save. | 13:38 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: so that means your gateway device is also acting as your dns server, is that what you'd expect ? | 13:38 |
| Olathe | A_J: Yeah, that's right. | 13:38 |

| A_J | Olathe, i can't edit it also | 13:39 |

| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: I guess so | 13:39 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: from the laptop, can you ping the default gateway address ? | 13:39 |
| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: no | 13:39 |
| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: no I cannot ping the gateway. however for some reason I can ping 192.168.1.1 | 13:39 |
| securityxxxpert_ | but i only have 1 router/modem hooked up and it's the att one | 13:40 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: what is your ip address on the laptop ? | 13:40 |
| securityxxxpert_ | 192.168.1.77 | 13:40 |
| securityxxxpert_ | I can get a ip, but no web connectivity | 13:40 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: because you have no DNS or gateway..... | 13:40 |
| bazhang | RoDiMuS-X, gmail-notify checkgmail | 13:40 |

| * theadmin uninstalls it | 13:41 | |
| bazhang | theadmin, dont uninstall plymouth | 13:42 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: ok, so your router is either not acting as a DNS server, or it's giving out the wrong DNS server info by dhcp | 13:42 |
| lf | you should look for you dns | 13:42 |
| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: well everyone in the house has connectivity but me on the wireless access point | 13:42 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: that doesn't change what I said | 13:42 |
| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: ok..so what then? | 13:43 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: look at what dns servers the working machines are using and what gateway address they are using | 13:43 |
| oCean | securityxxxpert_: Can it be that the 192.168.1.1 is your actual gateway? | 13:43 |
| A_J | You should try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc <-- Som1 help me edit this | 13:43 |
| bazhang | theadmin, you dont want to uninstall plymouth | 13:43 |
| securityxxxpert_ | ikonia: they are using 192.168.1.254 | 13:43 |
| securityxxxpert_ | I checked htem all | 13:43 |
| theadmin | How can I use cryptsetup (and mountall) but kill the Plymouth (because it shows stupid animations instead of the normal black screen!!) | 13:43 |
| theadmin | bazhang: ^ | 13:43 |

| securityxxxpert_ | oCean: yeah I get a ping reply from it..no idea why though | 13:44 |
| ikonia | securityxxxpert_: they are using that address for their DNS and gateway ? | 13:44 |
| theadmin | bazhang: this shows the good old text oly black screen with text, like normal people are used to? ;) | 13:44 |
| A_J | kk | 13:44 |

| thearm | delinquentme, Ok, any idea how I can fix this? In the past, when I first tried Ubuntu, I downloaded the nvidia driver from Nvidia and the same issue occured. Coudn't boot in normal mode. | 14:13 |
| thearm | delinquentme, ? | 14:13 |
| thearm | delinquentme, you mean, know what card I have? | 14:14 |
| delinquentme | thearm, correct | 14:14 |
| thearm | I do know, and I treid to DL it from the Nvidia web site and I could not boot. | 14:14 |
| ray__ | will starcraft 2 run faster in ubunta than windoze? | 14:14 |

| delinquentme | thearm, id also try running it in whatever resolution allows you to see all your stuff | 14:14 |
| thearm | I tried many. All behave the same way. | 14:15 |
| delinquentme | thearm, do you have a system > admin > nvidia x server settings | 14:15 |
| thearm | delinquentme, there are a lot of resolution option and I've tried most of them. My display is 1920x1080 Vaio laptop. | 14:15 |
| lionrafael | Ubuntu isn't mounting my disks correctly when booting from lilo. http://pastebin.com/Syz3aFfk How to fix it? | 14:15 |
| thearm | delinquentme,I doubt it because the driver is not installed. I'll look | 14:15 |
| RoDiMuS-X | ray_: probably not since it is not native | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | thearm: text option disables plymouth here. and gdm. | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | thearm: or just replaceing 'quiet splash' with ' ' just disables plymouth for me. | 14:15 |
| Lovecookies | hello everybody | 14:16 |
| Worf | ray__ : since there is no starcraft 2 for linux ( at least i don't know of any ), you would have to run it in emulation. emulation adds an additional layer of complexity, so if it works at all, it's most defenitely running slower. thank blizzard for not creating a version for linux. | 14:16 |
| DrummerBoy38 | I was playing in the yard. Swinging the pool hose and the air was moving through it so well that i took flight. I had to drop the hose before i went to high up into the atmosphere. when i fell, my neighbor daughter caught eye of me. she liked to swim. she was very pretty. she had a cat, and had to jump in my pool. i felt overprotective. but in time she had me do tests. | 14:16 |

| bazhang | ray__, use a lighter de | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | delinquentme: you should see a line like this « default via 10.0.0.1 dev wlan0 proto static » | 14:19 |
| thearm | No in recovery mode, no. If I remember right. I do not have an xserver at the moment because this is a fresh install of Ubuntu. | 14:19 |
| thearm | delinquentme,No in recovery mode, no. If I remember right. I do not have an xserver at the moment because this is a fresh install of Ubuntu. | 14:19 |

| kane77 | hi, how can I automatize input in bash scripts? for instance I want to use gpg to encrypt file in a script and I want it to be automatized, so the script would fill the password automatically | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | Chalkie: what ibox is that? not ubuntu, becouse ubuntu has the root user disabled ... | 15:38 |
| sacarlson | magicblaze007: but you don't need a firewall unless you want different parts of a network to have access to different things, for no access just turn the listen port off and close the app behind it | 15:38 |
| Switch | erUSUL: it's not in there, but it's still redirecting! this is weird..., how could this be | 15:38 |
| BlueEagle | ComradeHaz`: I do recomend reading up on it and instead ask spesific questions when you run into issues. | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | Switch: what do you mean redirecting? « ./b/k » is growing? | 15:38 |
| magicblaze007 | sacarlson: I'm trying to make sure that there is nothing else that can connect to this machine except ssh. is that the default? | 15:38 |
| edbian | kane77, Have it generate random letters / numbers using a random number generator and converting thing using their ascii values | 15:39 |
| magicblaze007 | sacarlson: and i want all the access from inside to outside | 15:39 |
| sacarlson | magicblaze007: nope | 15:39 |
| edbian | magicblaze007, What about web traffic? | 15:39 |
| magicblaze007 | I guess if i enable ufw-- my ssh would turn off | 15:39 |

| edbian | magicblaze007, So this computer is a web server and an ssh server? | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | kane77: see if gpg has means to be passed a password in a script | 15:40 |
| edbian | magicblaze007, That's the point of a firewall, you can do this with ufw or firestarter | 15:40 |
| magicblaze007 | Dr_Willis: how do i see what services are installed? | 15:40 |
| magicblaze007 | sacarlson: nope, its a switch at work which is being an organizational firewall | 15:40 |
| ComradeHaz` | OK, BlueEagle, let's start with "What's the best method to use to boot a diskless but not thin, Ubuntu machine from a Debian server, presumably, but perhaps not neccessarilly, with PXE booting. | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | magicblaze007: what ones have you installed.. by default theres basically none. | 15:40 |
| edbian | magicblaze007, to install ssh: sudo apt-get install openssh-server to install web server: sudo apt-get install apache | 15:40 |
| MasterOfDisaster | why use $frontend for 4, maybe 5 iptables rules? | 15:41 |
| edbian | MasterOfDisaster, for ease of use | 15:41 |
| MasterOfDisaster | edbian: hehe, good one :) | 15:41 |
| GaLaXY_ | magicblaze, just deny access to all services in hosts.deny and allow whatever needed | 15:42 |
| GaLaXY_ | if yore behind a nat bothering with ip lvl security might be overkill | 15:42 |
| tuxhack | hi.. any one used gnuddrescue ? | 15:42 |
| edbian | magicblaze007, Or just don't even set up the firewall ;) | 15:42 |
| sacarlson | magicblaze007: you can see what listening with sudo netstat -pant will show you a list if any | 15:42 |
| GaLaXY_ | though a few iptables rules are very powerful | 15:43 |
| Switch | how do I find the type of a file? I mean find out if it's a directory or a program or a text file.. | 15:43 |

| Switch | MasterOfDisaster, edbian, which is a better one? | 15:44 |
| Switch | also thank you. | 15:44 |
| GaLaXY_ | :P file usually does the job | 15:44 |
| MasterOfDisaster | Switch: just use file | 15:44 |

| linelevel | Hi. 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 |
| Switch | erUSUL: thanks <3 | 15:50 |
| erUSUL | xrdodrx: correct; that's what you wanted. now you can create new partitions as you see fit | 15:50 |
| newbie112 | what is the difference between linuxhosting and windows hosting? | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: 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 |
| MasterOfDisaster | linelevel: dig doesn't cache... | 15:51 |
| xrdodrx | erUSUL» 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 twice | 15:51 |
| MasterOfDisaster | newbie112: 2 different operating systems? | 15:51 |
| edbian | linelevel, 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 machine | 15:51 |
| sacarlson | linelevel: well I use bind9 on my local system and I think that keeps a cache | 15:51 |
| DThought | newbie112: well, in the one case its linux running on the server, in the other case its windows... | 15:51 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: yeah, I see that f****** pymount c***** gets in the way of doing so | 15:51 |
| newbie112 | yes, but is there any difference website owner? | 15:52 |
| newbie112 | difference for website owner* | 15:52 |
| GaLaXY_ | newbie112: itś just a matter oof preference | 15:52 |
| linelevel | masterOfDisaster: 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 |
| MasterOfDisaster | newbie112: usually not | 15:52 |
| newbie112 | then why the 2 exists? which is more preferrable? | 15:53 |
| Switch | what's the best way of searching ls results? just standard piping to grep | 15:53 |
| edbian | linelevel, cached yes but where is the question. Look at the server line in the output of dig. Pastebin both and I can maybe explain better | 15:53 |
| GaLaXY_ | newbie112: ;D linux hosting ftw | 15:53 |
| Switch | ? | 15:53 |
| newbie112 | ftw? | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: actually rc.local and other services can be running at the same time.. so they can cause clutter on the screen. | 15:53 |
| edbian | for the win | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: 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 |
| DThought | newbie112: why do windows and linux exist in the first hand? why do people use windows as a desktop operating system? | 15:53 |
| GaLaXY_ | but you shouldn expect to receive a different answer in this channel, newbie112 :p | 15:53 |
| sacarlson | linelevel: 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 expired | 15:54 |
| newbie112 | which is the curtial thing which I should look while buying hosting space? | 15:54 |
| erUSUL | Switch: what are you trying to do? explain in english, probably you want find and not parsing ls output | 15:54 |
| newbie112 | GaLaXY_, :D | 15:54 |
| Switch | erUSUL: yeah probably | 15:54 |
| linelevel | edbian: 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 |
| theadmin | Dr_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 |
| Switch | erUSUL: what's wrong with grepping ls -R anyway? | 15:54 |
| MasterOfDisaster | linelevel: linelevel hehe :D | 15:55 |
| edbian | linelevel, 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_Willis | theadmin: i would disable the gdm service then, and then launch it from rc.local after the user puts in their info. | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | Switch: depends on what you will do what the output. if you are only loooking at it there is nothing wrong | 15:55 |
| sacarlson | linelevel: you can if you can change the ttl at your dns pointed to by your registry | 15:55 |

| cousteau`nbk | Halkus, what kind of remote GUI? | 16:29 |
| Halkus | Just something so I can set up downloads to the server - an FTP client | 16:29 |
| Halkus | At the moment I use Windows Home Server, but I have a failing hard drive so now is a good time to switch away | 16:29 |
| sacarlson | c2tarun: ls -l /usr/share/images/desktop-base/splash3.png ? | 16:29 |

| bethdo97 | Hi --- 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 Lin | 16:30 |
| bethdo97 | son is taking | 16:30 |
| iulhk | i 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 |
| Halkus | The 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 server | 16:31 |
| compdoc | bethdo97,m the live cd might be better, since you cant work on drives you've booted from | 16:31 |
| compdoc | download the gparted cd | 16:31 |
| gpc | bethdo97: you need to use the live cd because you can't resize a mounted partition | 16:31 |
| cole | As root, how may I change the default window manager of another user? | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | cole: you can edit their .dmrc | 16:32 |
| cousteau`nbk | bethdo97, well, you should better do all partition stuff from a LiveCD session, so the disks aren't mounted | 16:33 |
| bethdo97 | compdoc: 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 |
| cole | thanks. | 16:33 |

| joshb | hi, just installed ubuntu but what's the root passwd ? it didn't ask me for one | 16:34 |
| MasterOfDisaster | joshb: there is none | 16:34 |
| bazhang | joshb, use sudo | 16:34 |
| MasterOfDisaster | joshb: use sudo su - | 16:34 |
| joshb | hmm, ok | 16:34 |
| joshb | ah | 16:34 |
| joshb | ok thx | 16:34 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. 'sudo -i' is sufficient.. | 16:34 |
| bazhang | MasterOfDisaster, please dont recommend that | 16:34 |
| brobo | Hello | 16:34 |
| Dr_Willis | no need to do 'sudo su' | 16:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | MasterOfDisaster, incorrect! "sudo -i" is much better | 16:34 |
| Halkus | Does Ubuntu give me an option during install to put ZFS on? | 16:35 |
| brobo | I've been using Ubuntu for a few months now and I love it | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | joshb: use sudo as needed.. theres no need for a root password. | 16:35 |
| joshb | ah yes, actually better | 16:35 |
| brobo | I recently updated to Natty Narwhal but now I'm getting an error message... | 16:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Halkus, there is no native ZFS driver on Linux yet | 16:35 |
| joshb | indeed | 16:35 |
| brobo | there's a red ! in the upper right corner that says that the repository may be out of date | 16:35 |
| Halkus | ZykoticK9: does that mean I cannot use ZFS, or does that mean I do a normal install and then stick it on afterwards? | 16:35 |
| brobo | err, update information is out of date | 16:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Halkus, there is some beta fuse/gfs ZFS driver | 16:35 |
| bazhang | brobo, what version | 16:35 |
| brobo | natty narwhal | 16:35 |
| Dr_Willis | brobo: so update the pacakge manager system. | 16:36 |
| xangua | brobo: is not supporter here #ubuntu+1 | 16:36 |
| bazhang | brobo, #ubuntu+1 please | 16:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | Halkus, i wouldn't consider ZFS for linux right now | 16:36 |
| cousteau`nbk | ...oh, ZFS, not XFS | 16:36 |
| brobo | ok then | 16:36 |
| brobo | sorry :) | 16:36 |
| MasterOfDisaster | bazhang, ZykoticK9, Dr_Willis: sorry | 16:36 |
| bethdo97 | how do you shut down this irc client without sshutting the window in case I needd to come back later or do I need to just close window and reopen if I need to latter? | 16:36 |
| ben_q | hello, is only a fileowner allowed to change the modification time with touch ? | 16:36 |
| Halkus | Not stable enough to use, is that why ZykoticK9 ? | 16:36 |
| k4g6 | bethdo97: what client are you using | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | bethdo97: err... just minimize the window? | 16:36 |
| MasterOfDisaster | ben_q: and root IIRC | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | send it to aother desktop :) | 16:37 |
| oCean | Halkus: no ZFS support in linux kernel due to licensing issues | 16:37 |

| cousteau`nbk | bethdo97, what client? XChat? | 16:37 |
| bethdo97 | I am using qwebirc | 16:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | Halkus, i've never personally tried it on linux - so you might want to give it a shot. Just don't expect it to be "stable" is all. Best of luck. | 16:37 |
| Halkus | No, I won't use it if that's the case | 16:37 |

| oCean | Halkus: it would be great, though | 16:38 |
| ben_q | I'm trying to get my webserver to change filetimes | 16:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Halkus, i might be incorrect. A quick search reveals http://zfsonlinux.org/ so maybe there is a native driver. | 16:38 |
| cousteau`nbk | ben_q, su or sh?? | 16:38 |
| ben_q | su | 16:38 |
| KiiK | can you create a user that can READ root user's files but no write or remove permission ? | 16:38 |
| KiiK | can I | 16:38 |
| ben_q | was just for testing | 16:39 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: i think a fuse one is in the works maybe | 16:39 |

| Halkus | I mean can it take an array, say 6TB and split it into several drives all with all the available space, and share them all to different people on the network with different permissions? | 16:49 |
| youngblood | jrib, I know, i typed it wrong | 16:49 |
| marjlene | cousteau`nbk, can t copy file with à,è,é character in it | 16:49 |
| ben_q | geirha, although the file has "rw-rw-r-- nc:www-data" | 16:49 |
| enli | gogeta: right ;) | 16:49 |
| jrib | youngblood: for the path, start at / and provide the absolute path to the .iso | 16:50 |
| gogeta | bethdo97: you can do that but just using the standerd install brings up diskpart when you click advanced | 16:50 |
| induz | I am removing the GTKpod and re-installing it maybe as i connected it to the wrong/old iPod not the iPod touch | 16:50 |
| gogeta | bethdo97: when it ask where to install | 16:50 |
| geirha | ben_q: Ah, guess you need to be owner, then. | 16:50 |
| cousteau`nbk | marjlene, I'm sorry, I don't know... however you could unmount it and mount it again with the desired options | 16:50 |
| youngblood | jrib, how do i do that if the file is on a CD? | 16:50 |
| maco | induz: remove doesnt remove config | 16:51 |
| maco | induz: per-user configs like that would be in your home directory | 16:51 |
| induz | maco, i dont know what to do with config | 16:51 |
| jrib | youngblood: /folder1/folder2/whateveryourfileiscalled Probably /media/cdrom/. If you know how to get there from the gui, then use that to aid you | 16:51 |
| bethdo97 | I tried doing it that way but the installer still claimed it couldn't fiind a volume to install on | 16:51 |
| marjlene | cousteau`nbk, tried it already but seems it ignore every custom options i throw in | 16:51 |
| geirha | ben_q: Indeed, it only lets me change the timestamp if I own the file, write permission is not enough. | 16:51 |
| maco | induz: if it has its own directory like ~/.gtkpod then delete it | 16:51 |
| ben_q | ok geirha.. pity =( thanks anyway | 16:52 |
| gogeta | bethdo97: you install from or to usb | 16:52 |
| Halkus | Hmm, Samba is what I want to use to share files? | 16:52 |
| maco | induz: otherwise, might need to run gconf-editor and dig through there to find its settings and remove them | 16:52 |
| induz | maco, yes i am going to delet the .gtkpod folder too | 16:52 |
| jrib | ben_q: read the info pages (info coreutils 'touch invocation') | 16:53 |
| Tigger__ | The Sound alert for new mail is not working on Thunderbird with 10.10 maverick... Any ideas anyone please? | 16:53 |
| cousteau`nbk | marjlene, but don't extract it after unmounting, just use `umount` and `mount` | 16:53 |
| gogeta | bethdo97: you probly gotta format whatever part you install 7 to | 16:53 |
| Halkus | Should I take 10.4 or 10.10? It's going on a server up my loft, so I'm thinking the one with long term support... right? | 16:53 |
| cousteau`nbk | marjlene, other than that, I don't know what else can be done, sorry | 16:54 |
| jrib | Halkus: if you want long term support, then take 10.04 | 16:54 |

| gimpy4613 | Ubuntu 10.10 x64, for some reason random hard drives will lose their GTP table. It's only one drive at a time, but not the same drive each time and seems to be any random one on a RAId controller I have. Logs show no cause, these drives are in an LVM VG used as a datastore, no OS storage on them. Ideas? | 16:54 |
| Halkus | Any reason not to go x64? | 16:55 |
| bethdo97 | gogeta: 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 wor | 16:55 |
| marjlene | cousteau`nbk, don t be sorry, we have tried to find a solution | 16:55 |

| FLJohn | I have 64 but have some problems with Flash. if you can not watch hulu because of this, try the Web browser Sea Monkey. It works | 16:55 |

| Gigabyte | hey how can i start apache and all that(i installed it) | 16:58 |
| sacarlson | bethdo97: 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 boot | 16:59 |
| dominicdinada | sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 16:59 |
| jrib | Gigabyte: it's started automatically by default | 16:59 |
| mneptok | Gigabyte: it's started by default when you install it | 16:59 |
| Halkus | Nothing on there for Ubuntu - http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/raid/sas_raid/sas-3805/ | 16:59 |
| dominicdinada | Gigabyte: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or start or stop | 16:59 |
| bethdo97 | gogeta: 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 |
| gimpy4613 | Halkus: Which Adaptec controller? | 17:00 |
| cousteau`nbk | isn't it better to use `service foo` rather than `/etc/init.d/foo`? | 17:00 |
| gogeta | bethdo97: maybe ubuntu can format it | 17:00 |
| Halkus | 3805 | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | cousteau`nbk: much better. | 17:00 |
| dominicdinada | Gigabyte: now if you installed lammp its in your opt dir | 17:00 |
| bethdo97 | Ubuntu at least got me up and running again after staring at the no operating message or the c: prompt for days | 17:00 |
| dominicdinada | lammp start | 17:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`nbk, "service" is the proper method. /etc/init.d is the pre-upstart (old) method | 17:00 |
| ComradeHaz` | Gentlemen, 4c of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto Please could you explain lines 2 to 4, do you think? It would probably suffice to tell me how I find that information on any given linux system. | 17:00 |

| k4g6 | JT13: or just find him games to play which run native | 17:17 |
| bethdo97 | JT13: The large 3rd partition should be formatted how? | 17:17 |

| bethdo97 | k4g6: will it be accessable thru ntfs in both ubuntu and win7 | 17:21 |

| ikonia | awanti: ssh is the most common option | 17:30 |
| jrib | azertyu: then you start whatever X app you want. If you want to login to a gnome-session, then you want vnc, not ssh | 17:30 |
| dominicdinada | jo___: perhaps you didnt allow those ips, perhaps you bound it to the linux users and their isnt a user with the same credentials | 17:31 |

| phibxr | calum, my guess would be that the windows xp-install somehow screwed up the windows 7-boot, but I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable about windows. :P | 18:04 |
| bluefrog | phpmagician, better have a look at acl | 18:05 |
| calum | phibxr: So I probably need to get xp to recognise windows 7 in its boot manager? | 18:05 |
| phibxr | calum, i wouldn't rule that out. but as I said, I know more about the internal workings of kitchen blenders than about windows, which would be next to nothing. :P | 18:06 |

(SAMBA) # cd source # ./setup/provision --realm=YOUR.REALM --domain=YOURDOM \ # --adminpass=SOMEPASSWORD --server-role='domain controller' 'YOURDOM' is the NT4 style domain name. 'YOUR.REALM' is your kerberos realm, which is typically your DNS domain name | 18:07 |

| Araxis | Hey everyone, Ubuntu/Linux newbie here. I used Ubuntu for about 2 days and I formatted, leaving windows out of the equation. Now what? time to learn bash? | 18:09 |
| jrib | Araxis: do whatever you want, you don't have to learn bash if you don't want to | 18:09 |
| Kernel-Panic | Araxis: Ubuntu is pretty easy to use nowadays | 18:10 |
| Rypervenche | Araxis: Let me show you a really good PDF. | 18:10 |
| jordanm | andreas_: install mdadm | 18:10 |
| grkblood | whats some good webcam software that I can add text and pictures and stuff to my webcam | 18:10 |
| Araxis | :) I love Ubuntu, it IS easy to use. And looks great. | 18:10 |
| hajmola | trying to boot ubuntu desktop liveUSB and i'm getting "no itin found. Try passing init= bootarg." | 18:10 |
| Ener | Here's some people ? | 18:10 |
| bazhang | Ener, yes | 18:11 |
| Araxis | I just ordered a new 6 core machine, can't wait to see how it performs on Ubuntu | 18:11 |
| em | Araxis: yeah learning about the command line and the things you can do from it is a good next step if your goal is to learn about Linux and Ubuntu. | 18:11 |
| Rypervenche | Araxis: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php then click on "Download it here". | 18:11 |
| andreas_ | I already did but when I do modprobe md it says there's o such module | 18:11 |
| Araxis | Rypervenche: Thanks! I'll get on there right now | 18:11 |
| hajmola | anyone know about "no init found"? | 18:11 |
| Ener | =x | 18:11 |
| Rypervenche | Araxis: And read it from beginning to end. You can skip some chapters if they're too advanced or boring for you, but make sure to read it from start to finish. | 18:12 |
| Araxis | Rypervenche: Definitely. | 18:12 |
| Araxis | Rypervenche: Is it worth going through the courses @ linux.org? I already read the beginners course but there is still an intermediate and advanced | 18:13 |
| andreas_ | but thanks for the suggestion jordanm, appreciate any help I can get | 18:13 |
| ubun | how do i know if i have a nt4 style connection or a kerberos (or do they both apply)?? | 18:13 |
| Rypervenche | Araxis: I have never used them, so I don't know. | 18:14 |
| jordanm | andreas_: md includes more than one module. just perform your raid operations. its smart enough to autoload modules as needed | 18:14 |
| andreas_ | ok thanks I'll try that | 18:15 |
| jordanm | Araxis: if your goal is to use linux, then just use it and learn as you go. if you want to be a linux sysadmin, then I recommend starting with http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide | 18:15 |

| nit-wit | JT13, how did you format to begin with | 18:27 |
| Ugons | Question: I'm on OS X as of now and I don't feel like partitioning my HD. I want to get an external HD to install ubuntu on, but I'm not sure which would be best. Any suggestions? | 18:27 |
| barf | Is grub-pc the same as grub2? | 18:27 |
| nit-wit | barbadillo, tes | 18:27 |
| barf | Ugons: Good suggestion | 18:27 |
| magicianlord | Ugons: it doesnt matter. you can get a 2.5 western digital for a low price | 18:27 |
| nit-wit | barf, yes | 18:27 |
| jordanm | barf: yes | 18:27 |
| magicianlord | Ugons: i have isntalled to an external drive | 18:27 |
| JT13 | nit-wit the hard drive is ext4 but when creating the "folder for win7 it didnt give option to format | 18:28 |
| barf | Ugons: One HDD pr OS is good | 18:28 |
| jordanm | barf: version 1.98 is oddly enough, grub2 | 18:28 |
| ale_zano | the internal mic doesn't work.. i try to find the resolution on forums but nothing! | 18:28 |
| magicianlord | jordanm: why | 18:28 |
| barf | jordanm: No wonder why I am confused | 18:28 |
| nit-wit | JT13, what folder | 18:28 |
| magicianlord | why is grub2 version 1.98? | 18:28 |
| Ugons | Alright, and to install to the external HD I basically follow the same installation process but just choose that as the location? | 18:28 |
| jordanm | magicianlord: you would have to ask the upstream developer | 18:28 |
| magicianlord | and who is that | 18:28 |
| barf | Is there a way to build the kernel with automatic optimization for the hardware where it is compiled? | 18:29 |
| nit-wit | JT13, all you have to do is build a michine launch it with thw windows ISO or cd and install. | 18:29 |
| JT13 | nit-wit /home/josh/virtualbox/win se7en | 18:29 |
| vexati0n | Ugons: 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 computer | 18:29 |
| barf | Where to install grub? On sda? or sda1? | 18:29 |
| nit-wit | JT13, is this a folder your building | 18:29 |
| erUSUL | barf: sda | 18:29 |
| ComradeHaz` | Hi all. Step 5 of 'Creating your NFS installation' on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto ---- Can anyone tell me what I need to do with the more recent versions of Ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| nit-wit | JT13, or is this the machine folder | 18:30 |
| Ugons | So basically you can boot Ubuntu from any computer if you have the external HD with you? | 18:30 |
| nit-wit | Ugons, theoretically | 18:30 |
| magicianlord | Ugons: yes | 18:30 |
| pingbat__ | halloo, i am trying to getacard reader on my laptop working but it isn't showing up under lsusb | 18:30 |
| ComradeHaz` | Ugons: any machine that supports boot from USB, yes. | 18:30 |
| ale_zano | I'm trying to use pulse but it don't connect to a network.. | 18:30 |
| jordanm | magicianlord: looks like thats not easy to find because the copyright is assigned to the FSF | 18:30 |
| JT13 | nit-wit one sec | 18:30 |
| vexati0n | Ugons: yeah, as long as the computer can boot from USB | 18:30 |
| Ugons | Well there is the issue about compatability but that's a different story. | 18:30 |
| nit-wit | JT13, sure | 18:31 |
| Ugons | And to double check, a MacBook Pro can, yes? | 18:31 |
| magicianlord | Ugons: make sure you select advanced in the partitioning scheme, and install grub2 to the external drive only, usually /dev/sdb | 18:31 |
| ComradeHaz` | Ugons: make sure you have a very simple graphixcs config and avoid proprietry graphics drivers | 18:31 |
| magicianlord | ComradeHaz`: good point | 18:31 |
| pingbat__ | it might be pci or something more esoteric | 18:31 |
| vexati0n | ComradeHaz`: mine works fine even after setting up multiple monitors on one pc and moving to one without them. i have avoided nvidia blob and ati drivers tho | 18:32 |
| magicianlord | why is ubuntu 10.10 significantly faster when performing operations tahn 10.04? is this a result of hte newer kernel? | 18:32 |
| === pingbat__ is now known as pingbat_mob | ||

| magicianlord | dylan_: im not sure then. my next step would be to google it along with 10.10 in the search, and if you cant find anything, put ina bug ticket with your specific hardware. also, try booting into the desktop with a live session of 10.4.1 and see if the bug persists | 18:53 |

| ChessTeach | thanks guys | 20:33 |
| jrib | justinsane: also, are you sure that statement isn't already there? It should be by default and has nothing to do with wireless afaik | 20:33 |
| justinsane | right now the interfaces file just says eth0 stuff.. | 20:33 |
| DEAD_BEEF | jrib, thanks | 20:33 |
| Vendetta | dude i would strongly advice the network manager. if your using wpa | 20:34 |
| Vendetta | Justinsane: the statement should be there | 20:34 |
| justinsane | the interfaces file just says auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static ... | 20:34 |

| jrib | justinsane: what version of ubuntu is this? | 20:34 |
| justinsane | i think im using wep | 20:35 |
| justinsane | 10.10 | 20:35 |
| jrib | justinsane: what did you install exactly? | 20:35 |
| Vendetta | standard ubuntu... | 20:35 |
| justinsane | my internet use to work, now it doesn't.... | 20:35 |
| justinsane | nothing but updates... | 20:35 |
| justinsane | standard. | 20:35 |
| jrib | justinsane: did you modify this file previously? | 20:36 |
| justinsane | my network adapter sees my router | 20:36 |
| justinsane | no | 20:36 |
| * jrib finds this odd | 20:36 | |
| justinsane | i keep getting a box that says "authentication requred by wireless network" | 20:36 |
| alex2222 | edbian, please give me a moment, it only occurs under higher network load | 20:36 |
| justinsane | i enter the CORRECT pw and it keeps trying to obtain access point | 20:36 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: when it shows that enter the wep key. | 20:36 |
| edbian | alex2222, What does? You should be able to ping your router at any time | 20:36 |
| yeats | justinsane: that means your wireless *card* is working at least | 20:36 |
| justinsane | yes, it is | 20:37 |
| justinsane | i see a bunch of networks, i just cant connect to the right one | 20:37 |
| nordle | hi, is anyone getting slow video playback in VLC under 10.10? It's slightly jittery like its 23fps (instead of 25fps for PAL). mplayer is fine. | 20:37 |
| KM0201 | justinsane: try setting your network to "No Security" and see if you can sign on... that will tell you if its the device, your password, or whatever | 20:37 |
| justinsane | it does a "loading thing" in my panel | 20:37 |
| justinsane | then the box appears again prompting me for pw... | 20:37 |
| alex2222 | edbian, thats right, the problem is not really reproduceable. I got to wait a moment | 20:38 |
| Vendetta | interesting | 20:38 |
| Vendetta | yet anyoing | 20:38 |
| justinsane | very | 20:38 |
| justinsane | lol | 20:38 |
| alex2222 | edbian, I can ping for now, but don't remember the ping-message when the problem occurs | 20:38 |
| edbian | alex2222, So right now everything is working fine? | 20:38 |
| alex2222 | edbian, yes | 20:39 |
| KM0201 | justinsane: do what i said, see if you can connect to an "open" network... to start the trouble shooting | 20:39 |
| edbian | alex2222, And when there is high network traffic you get bumped off the access point? | 20:39 |
| justinsane | i cant | 20:39 |
| alex2222 | edbian, right | 20:39 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: go with the km0201 idea think it could be usefull | 20:39 |
| justinsane | ok | 20:39 |
| justinsane | it connected to an open netowrk | 20:39 |
| alex2222 | edbian, it's really randomly | 20:39 |
| edbian | alex2222, Well nothing in configured incorrectly. That's just what happens if there is too much traffic | 20:39 |
| justinsane | "very weak signal" | 20:39 |
| edbian | alex2222, It's random or it happens during high traffic? | 20:39 |
| KM0201 | justinsane: ok, so your adapter is working properly... so your issue is either...1. you're tryin to connect to a protocol your device does not support, or 2. your password is wrong | 20:40 |
| alex2222 | edbian, I cannot say exactly, it feels like a combination of both | 20:40 |
| justinsane | password is definitely correct. | 20:40 |
| justinsane | and I've connected in the past. | 20:40 |
| Wally42 | Too those who have helped. All these methods involved having linux running, I can;'t get a live Cd to boot | 20:40 |

| KM0201 | justinsane: well.. what type of network is it?, WEP< WPA< WPA2? what | 20:41 |
| justinsane | WEP | 20:41 |
| justinsane | As im on this open network, i cant seem to connect to any site... | 20:41 |
| justinsane | 42% signal | 20:41 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: class wireless would be? class g i am guessing | 20:41 |
| edbian | alex2222, 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 network | 20:41 |
| justinsane | nevermind i got nytimes.com to open | 20:42 |
| alex2222 | edbian, do you think it makes sense if I try the ndiswrapped driver? | 20:42 |
| justinsane | what command to tell? | 20:42 |
| Vendetta | hold | 20:42 |
| Vendetta | quickly checking | 20:42 |
| edbian | alex2222, I don't recommend ndiswrapper as anything but a last resort. | 20:42 |
| alex2222 | edbian, is there a way to set a kind of debug level to see the keep alive packet? | 20:43 |
| edbian | alex2222, 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 |
| edbian | alex2222, 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 |

| Harness | Is there any way to perhaps mount the Music folder from my storage drive to /home/matthew/Music? | 20:48 |
| edbian | Harness, absolutely there is | 20:48 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: you say your buddies with mac and other stuff are connected to same router wireless connected | 20:48 |
| edbian | Harness, mount /dev/sdX /home/matthew/Music (replacing the X of course) | 20:48 |
| T-rock007 | When i add a ppa and then try to install a program through that ppa it doesnt see the ppa that im trying to connect to | 20:49 |
| justinsane | yes | 20:49 |
| ari-tczew | how can I remove package if apt-get doesn't want to remove it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/560356/ | 20:49 |
| T-rock007 | So therefore i cant install the program that i want | 20:50 |
| skooz2011 | KM0201: thank you! | 20:50 |
| KM0201 | skooz2011: np | 20:50 |
| Harness | But, I don't want the whole drive on the folder | 20:50 |
| Harness | Ahnvm, I just thought of something. | 20:50 |
| Harness | $ rm -r Music | ls -l /mnt/Storage/Music | 20:50 |
| Harness | Sorry. Not thinking. | 20:50 |
| FloodBot2 | Harness: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:50 |
| edbian | Harness, if you mount over some files they'll just be inaccessible while it's mounted. They won't be deleted | 20:51 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: i know this sounds stupid but how far are you from that router? | 20:51 |
| ubuntuCEO | how to list all hard drive i have in ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubuntuCEO, "sudo fdisk -l" | 20:51 |
| KM0201 | ubuntuCEO: sudo fdisk -l | 20:51 |
| KM0201 | .. | 20:51 |
| Harness | edbian: yes, but the thing is the Storage drive has music/movies/pictures/etc on it; I don't need the whole drive mounted, I just need the one folder. My current music folder is empty so. | 20:52 |

| justinsane | and at one point i was able to connect just fine.. | 20:52 |

| edbian | Harness, replace the X of course! | 20:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | T-rock007, if you are on 10.10 it should just be "sudo apt-get install unity" i think - then at login chose Netbook | 20:53 |
| Harness | Indeed ^_^;; Thank you. | 20:53 |
| _`-` | i have never laughed so hard at an operating system as when i discovered typing 'man fsck' was valid. | 20:53 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: it keeps asking for auth. you cannot connect at all. | 20:53 |
| T-rock007 | ZykoticK9, Im on 10.04 | 20:53 |
| justinsane | exactly | 20:53 |
| adi_ | hi everyone. i need to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04. can i do it from a CD but without booting into the cd? | 20:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | T-rock007, ya me too. You need to add some PPA first. Sorry I don't have the exact steps. Best of luck. | 20:54 |
| _`-` | > does not make sense | 20:54 |
| Harness | adi_ any reason you can't do it over the internet? | 20:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | T-rock007, i'm not personally a fan of unity | 20:54 |
| _`-` | oh, to/from, not from/to XD - i need sleep | 20:54 |
| adi_ | my bios doesnt have option to boot from usb. and the only option i have is to boot from my only CDROM | 20:54 |
| edbian | Harness, you can do it over the internet | 20:54 |
| edbian | Harness, but you have to use sshfs | 20:55 |
| Harness | edbian: That's what I'm telling him :p | 20:55 |
| edbian | Harness, oh, haha, sorry | 20:55 |
| Vendetta | justinsane : having a look at some articles online | 20:55 |
| adi_ | but because my cd rom does not recognise my just burned cd with ubuntu 10.10 in it... can i just do un upgrade from the sytem? | 20:55 |
| T-rock007 | ZykoticK9, There is a ppa that you have to add so i did add the ppa but when i type sudo apt-get install unity it doesnt work when there are people on youtube showing those exact steps and geting it to work in Ubuntu 10.04 | 20:55 |
| TheMusicGuy | Does anyone know why GEdit always inserts two quotes whenever I press the ' key? Or how I can get this to stop? | 20:55 |
| hiexpo | hola all | 20:55 |
| justinsane | yea i'm doing the same | 20:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | T-rock007, did you "sudo apt-get update" after adding the PPA? | 20:56 |
| mohamedsucks | Elow mates | 20:56 |
| T-rock007 | ZykoticK9, Yes but it said that it ignored the ppa's that i added | 20:56 |
| mohamedsucks | I compiled an app in my home folder...how can I add it to my applications menu? | 20:57 |
| aeon-ltd | mohamedsucks: if its executable, just create a shortcut with the path to it | 20:57 |
| Harness | adi_: 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 way | 20:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | T-rock007, did you use "sudo add-apt-repository FOO" to add it? | 20:57 |
| TheMusicGuy | Actually, 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 |
| mohamedsucks | aeon - how would that go into the menu? | 20:58 |
| saurononku | j | 20:58 |
| aeon-ltd | mohamedsucks: you add a shortcut while editing the menu | 20:58 |

| lewix | there | 21:04 |
| justinsane | hmmm | 21:04 |
| justinsane | vendetta: nothing | 21:04 |
| lewix | what do you us to extract *.rar file | 21:04 |
| jrib | !rar | lewix | 21:04 |
| ubottu | lewix: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 21:04 |

| stefan1a | i have a problem | 21:06 |
| lewix | jrib: so is it your long way of saying that you use unrar | 21:07 |
| gbear14275 | hey guys, I'm having problems burning cd-rs. I've been troubleshooting this problem for a while now but have only nailed it down to something with this machine/software. | 21:07 |
| justinsane | intel e6600 | 21:07 |
| justinsane | custom build | 21:07 |
| justinsane | i forget what wireless chipset | 21:07 |
| adi11 | sory connection probs | 21:07 |
| jrib | lewix: no that's the short and easy way of me telling you, you can install unrar and just use archive manager. But it's only easy if you bother to read | 21:07 |
| yeats | stefan1a: go ahead with your question | 21:07 |
| Vendetta | justinsane: okay | 21:07 |
| KM0201 | justinsane: well, the wireless chipset is what matters | 21:07 |
| justinsane | how can i check>? | 21:08 |
| stefan1a | i just built myself a new computer, and it has an NVIDIA xfx graphics card. At first, Ubuntu was working fine, but afaik the graphics card driver isn't installed and the screen resolution is a lot lower than it should be. I tried installing the driver for the gfx card, but it's not working. | 21:08 |
| gbear14275 | working on a T61 with 10.10 running. CD-r's wont be recognized when I put them in and if they are and start burning almost immidiately fail and are coasters. The cd-r's work fine in my gf's windows machine | 21:08 |
| gbear14275 | can anyone perhaps help me try and spot any mis configurations or anything? | 21:08 |
| lewix | jrib, you dont know why im asking dont assume i need to install it. | 21:08 |
| KM0201 | gbear14275: first thought is a problem w/ the cdr drive | 21:08 |

| gbear14275 | KM0201, so I thought that too, but it will burn dvd-r's just fine... | 21:09 |
| lewix | jrib, the question was clear. what do you use to extract or read .rar | 21:09 |

| fluvvell | T3CHKOMMIE, and you can backup your mbr if you want to restore it, it just "tanks" the ability to boot ubuntu. Windows disks have the ability to make the drive purely windows mbr again. | 21:15 |

| GaLaXY_ | Anyone else having trouble with Cairo-dock in fluxbox? | 21:44 |
| jrib | Halkus: well sudo -i logs you in as root. But how are you trying to run the scripts (just paste the line) and what's the output | 21:44 |

| jrib | ThomasB2k: you don't have to do anything (though you should have backups regardless). I assume you are upgrading through update-manager | 21:45 |
| jrib | Halkus: ls -l StorMan.sh | 21:45 |
| ThomasB2k | @jrib: no, when I do a fresh install | 21:45 |

| _raven_ | jrib, no option to do it with tar? | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | stefan1a: try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 21:50 |
| jrib | Halkus: right click on the ubuntu icon, create a new launcher, use « gksudo /path/to/StorMan.sh » (use the actual path) | 21:50 |
| BluesKaj | wiw. run ifconfig | 21:50 |

| ActionParsnip | Halkus: copy it to /usr/bin then use alacarte to make a launcher for it (you don't need the file extension, but it doesn't hurt to have it) | 21:50 |

| stefan1a | ActionParsnip: when, specifically, at boot? | 21:52 |
| Halkus | The path to the script is /usr/StorMan$ sudo ./StorMan.sh | 21:52 |
| wiw | BluesKaj: eth1 there looks like my wireless adapter (that's the one where i set it to bound to a static ip address on my router, *.1.112) | 21:52 |

| jrib | Halkus: no, use: gksudo /usr/StorMan/StorMan.sh | 21:52 |
| stefan1a | ActionParsnip: I'll try it. hold on. | 21:52 |
| jrib | Dead_Storage: not quite, just write "jrib: " at the beginning, no "!stuff" | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Halkus: make a launcher to run: gksudo /usr/StorMan/StorMan.sh | 21:53 |
| Dead_Storage | jrob oh ok | 21:53 |
| wiw | BluesKaj: you mean restarting my router? is that possible to do via terminal? | 21:53 |
| BluesKaj | wiw. correction /etc//init.d/networking restart | 21:53 |
| Dead_Storage | jrib oops lol | 21:53 |
| mkquist_ | Dead_Storage: if you start typing then hit tab, should auto the name for you | 21:53 |
| jrib | Dead_Storage: on most clients you can just type the beginning of a nick, like "jr", and then press TAB to have it completed | 21:53 |
| wiw | i cant restart the router atm, i'm not the only one on it... | 21:53 |
| Halkus | I now have a launcher item (I think that's what it is, in Windows I'd call it a shortcut) which after taking my password launches the Storage Manager | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | nope wiw , that just restarts the networking daemon | 21:54 |

| TheAnarchist | yes | 22:19 |
| BlueBomber7 | Oh ok. | 22:19 |
| BlueBomber7 | Munchkinguy_: Yes, ODT is compressed XML if I recall correctly. | 22:19 |
| BlueBomber7 | Munchkinguy_: The data inside will be unobfuscated; it's an open format. | 22:19 |

| Halkus | erUSUL: I understand why it's disabled by default, but Adaptec didn't take that into account :p | 22:22 |
| erUSUL | Halkus: huh? | 22:22 |
| erUSUL | Halkus: i see ; your choice | 22:23 |
| Halkus | You said there was no root, and gave me a link which explained why, and at the bottom it explained how to enable root | 22:23 |
| erUSUL | Halkus: if you enabled it then you know the password | 22:23 |
| Halkus | There was none until I created it | 22:23 |
| Halkus | But yeah, I know it now | 22:23 |
| Munchkinguy__ | Ergh. | 22:23 |

| === yossi_ is now known as Guest47821 | ||
| Flannel | WA0UWH3: You're welcome to personally disagree, but do not recommend it in this channel. The official Ubuntu policy is to keep the root account locked, please don't recommend otherwise in this channel. | 22:24 |
| Halkus | I don't recommend it. I think it's a good idea to keep it locked | 22:24 |
| Halkus | I have no choice though, in order to use Adaptec Storage Manager and create arrays I need to log into it as root | 22:24 |
| WA0UWH3 | OK, agree | 22:24 |
| Flannel | Halkus: And sudo doesn't work? | 22:24 |

| BlueBomber7 | Munchkinguy__: Also, I should not that if it's so corrupted as it can't be gunzip'd, then you should check to see if Open/Libreoffice created an automatic backup somewhere. If you didn't have that option enabled before, you should know about it ;) | 22:27 |

| LeDutch | gunndawg, Cause its about a million years old. | 22:51 |
| ChogyDan | stefan1a: you may want to just reinstall to start from scratch. Otherwise you have to try installing the driver again, and dig into the error message more | 22:51 |

| stefan1a | so, uh... how do I reinstall ubuntu? | 22:53 |
| stefan1a | ;x | 22:53 |
| coldfront | works wounders | 22:53 |
| coldfront | but if you just have a laptop i would go with the desktop ver | 22:53 |
| ChogyDan | LeDutch: I think the netbook addition uses more resources, you should try lubuntu if it is really low resource | 22:53 |
| Dead_Storage | stefan1a, why cant you just go to monitor settings? | 22:53 |

| Dead_Storage | stefan1a, oh that sucks, for some reason sometimes mine will detect an "unknown" monitor even tho i dont have anything there and it will put stuff on it its really annoying | 22:54 |
| ChogyDan | LeDutch: yeah. The netbook addition is more about screen space than resources | 22:54 |

| feyd | Dead_Storage: oh, hmm | 23:05 |
| ChogyDan | digirak: I think just build-essentials and apt-get build-dep | 23:06 |
| Dead_Storage | feyd, and i havent really messed with the video drivers | 23:06 |
| feyd | Dead_Storage: I really dont know a ton about video, but you could try doing a xorg conf from scratch instead of auto | 23:06 |
| feyd | Dead_Storage: its a huge undertaking from what I understand though | 23:06 |
| digirak | so does one have to go over the whole build with the kde standard | 23:07 |
| Dead_Storage | feyd, i think i can just deal with it then, all i have to do to fix it is go to my monitor settings | 23:07 |
| ChogyDan | digirak: I don't know, sorry. What are you trying to do btw? | 23:07 |
| digirak | ChogyDan: i am trying to start kde development | 23:08 |
| digirak | ChogyDan: and i have to install dependencies | 23:08 |
| ChogyDan | digirak: you just want to use QT? | 23:08 |
| digirak | ChogyDan: apparently fedora has a single package install | 23:08 |
| digirak | no a lot of other dependencies | 23:09 |
| feyd | Dead_Storage: alright, sorry I couldnt be any help | 23:09 |
| feyd | Does anyone know anything about styling QT in GTK? | 23:09 |
| Dead_Storage | feyd, its fine thanks anyway tho | 23:09 |
| breV | i think i have a strange variation of Bug #615803 ... it freezes if the power cord IS plugged in. I am thinking gnome-power-manager package is the culprit. any ideas ? | 23:10 |

| breV | no | 23:11 |
| induz | wjat would be the /mnt directory | 23:11 |
| BlueBomber7 | induz: You can specify it yourself in fstab, but once it's connected, it should auto-mount and the command 'mount' will tell you its mount point. | 23:12 |

| feyd | other question, I want MPD to startup with the computer and continue playing where it left off, how can I do that? | 23:17 |
| Dead_Storage | feyd, maybe rember applications in the startup apps menu | 23:18 |
| DEAD_BEEF | klys4, what type of file is it? | 23:18 |
| BlueBomber7 | _java_: Yes and no. I love me some keyboard shortcuts, too, and would love to ditch the mouse, but I don't think it's ENTIRELY kb friendly yet. Feel free to correct me, others. | 23:18 |
| dw87 | anyone know of any good htaccess tutorials? I've found a couple googling around, but they're not very clear on where your .htaccess file goes, where your .htpasswd file goes, and the permissions that should be on said files | 23:18 |
| BlueBomber7 | _java_: Apps like gnome-do help, though ;) | 23:18 |
| Serolos | Question: how can I tell /etc/hosts to do a "wildcard" redirect? meaning: NOT "127.0.0.1 test.tld www.test.tld" .... it should be more like "127.0.0.1 *.test.tld" since EVERY request (meaning every subdomain typed) shall be redirected to 127.0.0.1 | 23:18 |
| feyd | Dead_Storage: I'd rather avoid session saving if possible, call me crazy | 23:18 |

| gimpy4613 | Ubuntu 10.10 x64, for some reason random hard drives will lose their GTP table. It's only one drive at a time, but not the same drive each time. It's not any one port, controller, cable, or drive causing it. Just a random one. Logs show no cause, these drives are in an LVM VG used as a datastore, no OS storage on them. Ideas? | 23:22 |
| BlueBomber7 | induz: fstab won't have changed unless you change it, as far as I know. It doesn't look like it stores your ipod mount point. | 23:22 |
| DEAD_BEEF | klys4, and you're sure its in . | 23:22 |
